[03:27] <`Matir> sam1, nothing's jumping out at me
[03:27] <ledbettj> hrm
[03:27] <felixhummel> hi!
[03:27] <sam1> `Matir, u mean there are no problems ?
[03:28] <`Matir> sam1, I don't see anything obvious.  are you experiencing problems?
[03:28] <sam1> my usb ports and net connection are not working properly.. and I am on a ubuntu livecd ..
[03:29] <kondor21> Do you guys think it is good policy to use the last distro rather than the current, ie to make sure bugs are well gone?
[03:30] <`Matir> sam1, ok.  could you be more specific with "are not working properly"?
[03:30] <felixhummel> here's a little harder one:
[03:30] <felixhummel> I have got some IDE HDs (hdX) and some SATA HDs (sdX) and need a list of all NTFS partitions of my system, no matter on which drive they are.
[03:30] <felixhummel> I want to make a bash-script (let's call it win-killa.sh), so a bash script would be nice, which prints something like (/dev/hda1 /dev/sdb3 ...). Any advice?
[03:30] <`Matir> kondor21, the current one would have all the bug fixes of the previous
[03:30] <emet> how do I go on the internets
[03:30] <kondor21> Matir, makes sense
[03:31] <sam1> `Matir, my net connection is really slow and rarely even gets connected.. It works proplerly on my other Intel Celeron pc though
[03:31] <klick> Frogzoo, do you think i should have them unloaded and reloaded on suspend or leave them in the kernel over suspend
[03:31] <jrib> jordan: ok, there?
[03:31] <`Matir> sam1: wireless or wired?
[03:31] <sam1> no broadband wired

[03:32] <CSonicGo> guys, I have a  USB Linksys 802.11b Wireless adaptor, and it works great with Ubuntu with only one nagging thing... it keeps "disconnecting" and reconnecting and it makes me lag like mad.
[03:32] <CSonicGo> anyone have any ideas on what's causing this?
[03:34] <LabThug> I think picasa is dying, it's still chugging and not doing anything

[04:09] <Miaowara> P4ndaman, you hilight the entry you wanna boot and press "e"

[04:15] <doojin> I needed to ask people why
[04:15] <Pelo> cor1,  the gaim one
[04:15] <electricenergy> ubotu, how do I switch my monitors around in twinview?
[04:15] <electricenergy> damn
[04:15] <cor1> GAIM yes i cant under stand the direction i due them but it dont install
[04:16] <talaman> brb, i am trying to re-install gdm
[04:16] <cor1> do*
[04:16] <Pelo> cor1, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[04:16] <P4ndaman> so I guess I will post my problem again, so whoever logged in recently can take a poke at it.
[04:16] <P4ndaman> I am unable to load Ubuntu linux 6.10 edgy for the first time... I was successful in installing it in text mode from the alternative CD, but when I load it in non-recovery mode, the ubuntu loading bar freezes around 98% and it looks kinda messed up (a green line comes up underneath the bar, the ubuntu graphic looks kinda different).  I have an ATI radeon x850xt card, so i think that it cannot boot since this requires special drivers.  If
[04:17] <cor1> can i dl the tar.gz then use package manager to install it:?
[04:17] <n0cturnal_> can anyone fix my issue? .. Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man1/msql2mysql.1.gz from install of mysql-server-5.0.27-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package MySQL-client-5.0.22-0
[04:17] <Pelo> cor1,  yes
[04:17] <cor1> k thank you alot
[04:17] <n0cturnal_> hrmm wrong chan too..
[04:18] <cor1> have any of you used the server edition
[04:18] <Pelo> !ati | P4ndaman
[04:18] <ubotu> P4ndaman: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:18] <elyon225> How do I go about compiling something as a "shared resource"?
[04:18] <elyon225> "shared object," rather.
[04:18] <cor1> just use the archive manager
[04:18] <cor1> and make it a tar.gz?
[04:19] <cor1> !archive
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about archive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <Pelo> cor1,  read this  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[04:19] <cor1> pelo i am thanks
[04:19] <Miaowara> hmmm... ipw2100: eth0: failed to start card
[04:19] <cor1> pelo are you italian
[04:19] <Pelo> cor1,  no
[04:20] <cor1> pelo o cause you name sorda sounds italian
[04:20] <wastrel> it means "hair" in spanish
[04:20] <cor1> ya i know i was just asking
[04:20] <cor1> sry if i affended you
[04:20] <Pelo> wastrel,  you don'T say, wow, I never knew, that ,  you are the first person ever to mention it
[04:21] <dimeotane> I'm curious if anyone has tried fedora, and can say how it compares to ubuntu?
[04:21] <Pelo> cor1,  I wasn't Offended,  but this is off topic a bit
[04:21] <Miaowara> ubuntu=better
[04:21] <wastrel> you have a bad memory because this is the second time i've mentioned it.
[04:21] <dimeotane> I didn't realize fedora uses gnome
[04:22] <dimeotane> Miaowara: what feature of ubuntu kicks fedoras butt for you?
[04:22] <Miaowara> ease of installation/use (generally)
[04:22] <Miaowara> customizability
[04:22] <Miaowara> there's actaully a decent forum
[04:23] <Miaowara> or at least nice people on them ;)
[04:23] <bkudria> i am trying to run a precompiled, old version of gcc (for a project, not under my control).  I've extracted the archive given to mee, and it contains 'gcc', a binary file with the executable bit set.  in the directory with the executable, i try to run it with './gcc', but i get the error './gcc: no such file or directory' - what could be wrong?  the executable bit/permission *is* set.
[04:23] <cor1> i downloaded the gaim 2.0 beta 6 tar.gz file can i use packeage manager to install
[04:23] <dimeotane> That settles it.. I'm still using the best OS in the world... I love ubuntu
[04:24] <cor1> dimeorane that is true
[04:24] <SaveFerr1s> FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory
[04:24] <SaveFerr1s> any ideas?
[04:24] <dimeotane> it has always suprised me how ubuntu seems to have come out of obscurity to being the #1 distro in a short amount of time... debian, susie, fedora, mandrake... they all had such popularity and were widely known
[04:25] <dimeotane> for a long time too
[04:25] <tritium> dimeotane: ubuntu's roots in debian helped with that
[04:25] <Pelo> dimeotane,  ease of installation has a lot to do with it
[04:25] <SaveFerr1s> ubuntu > pie
[04:25] <gavintlgold> any newish users looking for help?
[04:25] <cor1> dimeotane dont forget its 100% virus free
[04:26] <Pelo> cor1,  that's because all the virus makers are linux users gunning for M$
[04:26] <cor1> gav: how can i install gaim 2.0beta 6 from a tar.gz file with package manager
[04:27] <cor1> Pelo thats true
[04:27] <tritium> No, that's not likely to be true
[04:27] <gavintlgold> who here agrees that ubuntu feisty should have come with beryl "out of the box" ?
[04:27] <cor1> thats because microsoft user are *sigh* stupid
[04:27] <Pelo> cor1,  you cannot install a tar.gz file with the package manager,  go back to the site and look for a .deb file  that would be easiet
[04:27] <zeembo> hi all, i wanted to try using empkernel instead of the default one, can someone help me
[04:27] <cor1> dont forget microsoft is secure by obscurity
[04:27] <gavintlgold> corl, i agree with pelo
[04:27] <zeembo> do i have to run menuconfig on the kernel?
[04:28] <numa> gavintlgold:  you imply beryl = stable? and compatible with lots of hardware?  errr, ok.
[04:28] <dimeotane> cor1... how can I ever forget... my wife will tell you... I'm still in awe 1 year later... virus free, no need to defrag... and a whole lot less EULAs
[04:28] <tritium> cor1: FYI, feisty has 2.0 beta 6
[04:28] <cor1> sav: they dont have .deb's only tar.gz or rpm
[04:28] <zcat[1] > beryl. Stable. ROFL...
[04:28] <HymnToLife> zeembo, that's for compiling a new kernel - if that's what you wand to do
[04:28] <gavintlgold> numa: well, i guess not really out of the box, more like "check this for cool effects--not quite stable but cool"
[04:28] <HymnToLife> but you might wand to run xconfig instead, which has a GUI
[04:28] <zeembo> yeah, i'd like to compile a new one, HymnToLife
[04:28] <TheDebugger> cor1: I think you can use "alien" to convert an rpm to a .deb
[04:29] <SaveFerris> jrib > you
[04:29] <Pelo> cor1,  uncompress the tar.gz file to your desktop,  open the folder and look for a readme file and for an install file and follow the instructions
[04:29] <cor1> how i install alien
[04:29] <zeembo> HymnToLife, so i would run xconfig on the kernel i downloaded?
[04:29] <zcat[1] > it's definately getting better, but it's not what I'd call stable yet.
[04:29] <cor1> sudo apt-get install alein?
[04:29] <HymnToLife> zeembo, then cd /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig (text) or make xconfig (gui)
[04:29] <tritium> yes, cor1
[04:29] <gavintlgold> alien corl
[04:29] <dimeotane> !aptitude
[04:29] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[04:29] <numa> gavintlgold:  and beryl doesn't exactly work well on my voodoo3-2000 pci grfx card.
[04:29] <zeembo> so i should extract the kernel first?
[04:29] <ReAspired> how can I give permisson to another user to probe video0
[04:29] <HymnToLife> zeembo, yep
[04:30] <ReAspired> right now root owns it
[04:30] <zeembo> and then run xconfig?
[04:30] <Krunk> Hi. Just installed ubuntu and added kde at 1600x1200 resolution. Turned computer off after adding a few things. Once re-started, displays only 680x400 and I can't change the res to stay at 1600x1200. ATI Radeon 700 card with Sun Plug'NPlay 22" monitor. Any suggestions how to fix this?
[04:30] <zeembo> ok, sounds good
[04:30] <elias_> Does anyone know where i can download "fixmbr.exe" ?
[04:30] <HymnToLife> zeembo, copy your tarball to /usr/src
[04:30] <gavintlgold> numa: they should have some way to detect if your card is could enough, then tell you though, huh?
[04:30] <HymnToLife> and extract it with tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2
[04:30] <gavintlgold> cause it's really cool
[04:30] <dimeotane> I thought that apt-get knows dependencies
[04:30] <zeembo> ooooo ok, i havea  .deb file
[04:30] <HymnToLife> zeembo, the DEB file wil give you a tarball
[04:30] <HymnToLife> than you'll need to extract it ;)
[04:31] <dimeotane> krunk... you gotta edit your xorg.conf
[04:31] <numa> gavintlgold:  and remember, some cards can only use beryl with the assistance of non-OSS drivers, which ubuntu is anathema to
[04:31] <HymnToLife> zeembo, you have the linux-source from the repos, right ?
[04:31] <zeembo> linux-source?
[04:31] <cor1> brb my puppy's eating my shoes
[04:31] <gavintlgold> numa: well, i guess a lot of people will be told about the easy way to install it through add-remove programs...
[04:31] <HymnToLife> zeembo, what is the DEB you have ?
[04:32] <Krunk> dimeotane: thanks forgot about that
[04:32] <zeembo> HymnToLife, from the emperorlinux site they have the kernels
[04:32] <gavintlgold> numa: i heard it was really easy to install beryl/nvidia non-oss drivers
[04:32] <zeembo> in 3 formats for download
[04:32] <gavintlgold> in feisty
[04:32] <HymnToLife> zeembo, hmm, which kernel is it that you want to build ?
[04:32] <ryan_> i put in this command: sudo vi -b rt61sta.dat. im trying to edit this data file but im having trouble with it
[04:32] <zeembo> http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/support/kernel/2.6/distro-updates/
[04:32] <cor1> i installed alien now i cant find were it installed to so i can run it
[04:33] <dimeotane> krunk: it's easy to forget... my last install was over a year ago...
[04:33] <tritium> zeembo: why?
[04:33] <gavintlgold> well, we'll see how it goes... GO UBUNTU... GO LINUX.... we can beat MS!
[04:33] <Wimpog> guys, I have ubuntu server. I would like to be able to see characters of other languages in bash, in particular russian, does anybody know how to install additional languages?
[04:33] <gavintlgold> bye guys
[04:33] <zeembo> oopps sorry HymnToLife , http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/support/kernel/2.6/
[04:33] <dimeotane> I good reminder is to install ubuntu on every spare system you find laying around =)
[04:33] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be?
[04:33] <doojin> hi
[04:33] <doojin> The recoveringgrubafterwindows didn't work
[04:34] <zeembo> theres rpm, deb, and tgz
[04:34] <doojin> I booted from livecd
[04:34] <cor1> i installed alein were does it install to so i can run it
[04:34] <doojin> and there is no correct /boot/grub in livecd
[04:34] <HymnToLife> zeembo, you didn't answer my question, which kernel version do you want to build ?
[04:34] <doojin> HymnToLife : do you know how to recover grub?
[04:34] <tritium> cor1: type "which alien" to find out
[04:34] <HymnToLife> doojin, yes
[04:34] <zeembo> empkernel26-<IP_ADDRESS>.emp3_coreduo.i686.deb
[04:34] <HymnToLife> !grub
[04:34] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:34] <Pelo> lq534 rolkw
[04:34] <HymnToLife> second link
[04:34] <Pelo> I mean later folks
[04:34] <tritium> cor1: it should be in your path, anyway.
[04:35] <Miaowara> i don't understand how ping can work but firefox won't
[04:35] <HymnToLife> zeembo, why do you want to build that particular one ?
[04:35] <doojin> Miaowara : maybe DNS server is screwed
[04:35] <cor1> i typed that in nothing came up
[04:35] <Miaowara> anyone have any ideas how I could trouble shoot this, no firewall problems either, dns is working as well
[04:35] <cor1> nvm
[04:36] <jrib> Miaowara: what does firefox do?
[04:36] <Miaowara> both windows and my older kernel connect find
[04:36] <Miaowara> it just sits on "connecting to google.com"
[04:36] <tritium> cor1: again, remember that 2.0 beta 6 is in feisty
[04:36] <Miaowara> same as wget
[04:36] <cor1> i need to run it and its not in with the installed programns
[04:36] <jrib> Miaowara: try disabling ipv6?
[04:36] <zeembo> i can build any actually, i'm just wondering if its better then the default ubuntu one
[04:36] <cor1> yes i kno
[04:36] <stephans> does anyone konow why kickstart installs do not work in ubuntu??
[04:36] <zeembo> then the legacy kernel
[04:36] <Miaowara> jrib, in firefox? I've done that
[04:36] <stephans> know
[04:36] <HymnToLife> zeembo, yes, but it needs an experienced user to configure it correctly
[04:36] <jrib> !ipv6 | Miaowara
[04:36] <ubotu> Miaowara: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[04:37] <HymnToLife> nice way to learn though
[04:37] <cor1> !alien
[04:37] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:37] <HymnToLife> zeembo, forget that and do   sudo apt-get install linux-source
[04:37] <stephans> We do realize that installing via cd is only for enthusiasts right?
[04:37] <tritium> stephans: this is not redhat
[04:37] <HymnToLife> that will give you the kernel with ubuntu patches
[04:37] <cor1> WOOO acording to ubotu alien is dangerous
[04:37] <Miaowara> thanks jrib y ubotu
[04:37] <stephans> tritium: there is a kisrart configurator for ubuntu
[04:37] <zeembo> oo ok, i'll try that
[04:38] <stephans> poorly documented but it is there
[04:38] <HymnToLife> cor1, it is not if you know what you're doing ;)
[04:38] <SaveFerris> jrib: would it be ok if i saved our convo and posted it in that thread to see if it helps anyone else? would you object to that?
[04:38] <stephans> any how... an automatic network methid is needed.
[04:38] <stephans> method
[04:38] <ryan_> i used this command sudo vi -b rt61sta.dat, having trouble modifying this file
[04:38] <shortgu1> can someone help me connect to my wireless network?
[04:38] <zeembo> HymnToLife, sudo apt-get install linux-source will install what?
[04:38] <HymnToLife> zeembo, it will give you a tarballl in /usr/src that contains the kernel source
[04:38] <tritium> !wireless > shortgu1
[04:38] <jrib> SaveFerris: nope, that's fine
[04:39] <HymnToLife> you'll then need to extract it
[04:39] <stephans> the wisi seems to indicate that I should use kickstart.
[04:39] <stephans> but
[04:39] <stephans> it bombs on trying to download the cdrom-core modules...
[04:39] <stephans> why
[04:39] <stephans> ?
[04:39] <stephans> both for dapper and edgy
[04:39] <stephans> it is broken

[04:40] <cor1> now i have alien installed how i use it
[04:40] <wastrel> man alien
[04:41] <Miaowara> ah yes, a bot, so I thought ;)
[04:41] <stephans> wastrel: there is little documentation on how to install ubuntu automatically.
[04:41] <PiNE> is it possible to make gnome to do that OSX thing where the [file edit etc]  are in a panel?  i know kde can emulate this.
[04:41] <stephans> wastel: hard sell to schools or businesses
[04:41] <wastrel> edubuntu
[04:41] <wastrel> PiNE:  not afaik
[04:42] <Wimpog> GUYS, anybody knows how to install another language set, so I can see it in terminal?
[04:42] <Miaowara> jrib, no luck. Anyother suggestions?
[04:42] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[04:42] <PiNE> wastrel, well, that's okay the kde one never integrated all that well anyhow.
[04:42] <jrib> Miaowara: nope, not really sure what is happening there
[04:42] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: what does it do?
[04:42] <vegasmcpc> i need help mounting a raid array
[04:42] <vegasmcpc> i have one partition on it
[04:43] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, will show you a list of all locales and let you xhoose which one(s) you want to install ?
[04:43] <Miaowara> jrib, k, me neither :(
[04:43] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: it has only english, I would like to be able to see other characters, in particular russian
[04:44] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, it should have everything
[04:45] <HymnToLife> at least here it has all the supported languages, which include Russian
[04:45] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: this is the output of the command you gave me:

[04:57] <lol> and that guide seems to be stuck to the assumtion (sp?) that I have it already.
[04:57] <wastrel> it's best not to use alien if you don't already know what you're doing.
[04:57] <HymnToLife> IamUnique, use VMware :p
[04:57] <cor1> yes even when i use a rpm it says a whole bunch of warnings then doesnt do anything
[04:57] <wastrel> to save in vi use  :w   of  :w <filename>
[04:57] <Demolitio> @intuitiveNipple you know what, as a matter of fact i didnt. checking now.
[04:57] <wastrel> er,  s/of/or/

[04:58] <cor1> yes but i cant install the tar.bz2 with there install instutions it dont work
[04:59] <riotkittie> for starters, you uncompress it.
[04:59] <IamUnique> whats the name of the vmware cause thers alot of programs which one do i need?
[04:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolitio: if you add it, make sure to *APPEND* using (-a) e.g.  moduser -aG audio <user>
[04:59] <Demolitio> @IntuitiveNipple : aded to group. do i have to restart?
[04:59] <Demolitio> just added.
[04:59] <cor1> Windows sucks does that anser your question lol
[04:59] <cor1> answer*
[04:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolio - I think it helps, unless you just restart your sound services
[04:59] <Demolitio> k
[04:59] <IamUnique> which wmware product is virtual pc?
[05:00] <cor1> does feista look like vista?
[05:00] <tripppy> fist_ya
[05:00] <ryan_> why is it so difficult to configure a wireless card, this is nuts
[05:00] <IamUnique> like*
[05:00] <cor1> how i upgrade to feista
[05:00] <wastrel> because your wireless vendor didn't provide a linux driver
[05:00] <wastrel> cor1:  it's feisty
[05:00] <wastrel> cor1:  #ubuntu+1 for feisty info
[05:01] <cor1> wast how i upgrade to it
[05:01] <ryan_> boo
[05:01] <wastrel> you don't, you wait until it is released.
[05:01] <lol> I think I did it... I just cleared my ext3 partitions I made for it and used the non-manual install
[05:01] <lol> lol
[05:01] <tun2> ok, i need some SERIOUS help here...
[05:01] <Demolitio> @intuitiveNipple well... just heard a soft popping noise form my 5.1 system.... sounds like that did it. restarting.
[05:01] <IntuitiveNipple> nice one, Demolitio
[05:01] <zcat[1] > back
[05:02] <mindstate> zcat[1] : i cant cd to the .xession-errors directory ? it says no file or directory
[05:02] <Demolitio> thanks
[05:02] <zcat[1] > mindstate: it's a file.
[05:02] <mindstate> zcat[1] : i also tried cat .xession-errors same response
[05:02] <zcat[1] > mindstate: .xsession-errors
[05:02] <NETWizz> I have a problem
[05:02] <cor1> isnt there a beta for testy for feista cause i know someone with the live CD for it
[05:02] <IamUnique> whats the vmware program called, to run virtual?
[05:02] <tun2> here's the thing: I have Kubuntu, but I just isntalled Gnome. It was a rough install, and i don't think i did it quite right.somebody was helping me earlier (devilsadvocate), and he's still online, but won't reply to any of my messages
[05:02] <NETWizz> I get STOP c000021a
[05:03] <NETWizz> any ideas
[05:03] <elyon225> cor1: You can get it at ubuntu.com
[05:03] <wastrel> feisty != fiesta
[05:03] <tun2> I'm gonna pastebin the terminal history in a sec
[05:03] <elyon225> tun2: First of all, if you're sending him private messages, you must be registered with the IRC server or he won't get them.
[05:03] <mindstate> zcat[1] : ok  i can see the output..not sure what to make of it..doesnt seem like anything is wrong
[05:04] <tun2> elyon225 i wasn't sending him PM
[05:04] <elyon225> tun2: Second, what command did you use to install gnome?
[05:04] <zcat[1] > mindstate: well, if nobody comes up with a better suggestion, try changing the session type in gdm to failsafe or something and then log in...
[05:04] <tun2> *PM's, i was trying to contact him conventionally. and i used apt-get
[05:04] <tun2> hang on...
[05:05] <elyon225> tun2: What packages did you install?
[05:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolitio: how is it?
[05:05] <mindstate> zcat[1] : yeah ive done that..it failsafe works fine except my windows partition doesnt get mounted
[05:05] <calvarez> hello, I am running Ubuntu edgy on a Dell Latitude D800 laptop. X freezes whenever coming back from suspend. Anybody else has this problem? Any potential solutions?
[05:05] <Demolitio> working like a dream now.
[05:05] <tun2> elyon225: i tried ubuntu-desktop, and it didn't work. so then i tried gnome
[05:05] <IntuitiveNipple> that caught me out once :)
[05:05] <zcat[1] > I should stop running beryl.. for some reason it's causing frequent corruption of my reiserfs... which takes forever to fsck!!
[05:05] <elyon225> tun2: Define "didn't work"
[05:06] <zcat[1] > or I should copy everything back to ext3 which doesn't seem to be having as much trouble.
[05:06] <Demolitio> yeah.... first attempt at linux. dual-booting with vista, just because i do tech support. this is definatly goign to be my main system now.
[05:06] <tun2> elyon225: i'm trying to open the terminal history so i can pastebin it to you...
[05:07] <Ch1ppy> Hello, I seem to have gotten a corrupted package (compiz-core) installed and cannot remove nor upgrade it.  On attempted upgrade I receive this output: http://pastebin.ca/364420
[05:07] <Ch1ppy> Can anyone help me remove or upgrade the package?
[05:07] <elyon225> Demolitio: Welcome!  I have dual boot into WinXP just for gaming... but still haven't gone into windows in about 2 weeks :)
[05:07] <zcat[1] > I've only seen vista once, demo'd by a microsoft guy. Funny thing was, before he even started he borrowed a USB mouse (Microsoft one too!) to do the demo, plugged it in and it failed to install. I was really impressed!
[05:07] <Demolitio> yeah..... love the style.... now if i can just get xgl set up without ruining another profile, ill have it all set lol
[05:08] <elyon225> Ch1ppy: Your first major mistake was installing a package that wasn't verified... just so you know.
[05:08] <Ch1ppy> elyon225: I know, learned my lesson already :)
[05:08] <tun2> elyon225: ok, my text editor won't open and niether will the terminal...
[05:08] <z-tau> Does anyone know what program/part of Ubuntu is responsible for automounting discs?
[05:08] <jwtodd> i've installed 6.10 on a system w/ an 8800 nv gpu which required me to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9746-pkg2.run.sh from nvidia.com. all is well till i try a reboot at which time X won't start up. i reinstall the nv driver and start gdm by hand. ideas? thx.
[05:08] <elyon225> Demolitio: You have ati or radeon?
[05:08] <Demolitio> ati. 9800 pro 128mb.
[05:08] <elyon225> z-tau: Check your /etc/fstab file.
[05:08] <elyon225> tun2: Try running those from the terminal.... oh, nevermind lol
[05:09] <blanky> Demolitio: I have the same one and it's broken
[05:09] <elyon225> Demolitio: Ah, yeah... I ended up giving up on ATI after about a month and a half... got a cheap nvidia.
[05:09] <blanky> I cna still use my pc but can't play any games or anything haha
[05:09] <zcat[1] > z-tau: gnome-vfs-daemon I think
[05:09] <blanky> yeah im thinking about getting a cheap nvidia
[05:09] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, did you do something else than runnign the installer ?
[05:09] <z-tau> elyon225: uhh, how does that help?
[05:09] <HymnToLife> installing restricted-modules for example
[05:09] <elyon225> blanky: I bought a 6600 for a little over a hundred... works great.
[05:09] <Dr_willis> jwtodd,   why did the 8800 require the nvidia.run.sh stuff? the normal nvidia drivers in the repos wont work?
[05:10] <blanky> wow seriously, elyon225, recently?
[05:10] <Demolitio> idk... the 9800 pro was a pretty good line. elyon225: you couldnt get it to install, or you couldnt find the path?
[05:10] <pilgrim> how do I find out where the configuration for eclipse is stored?
[05:10] <z-tau> zcat[1] : I thought automounting would be handled by a lower-level daemon than a gnome program - are you sure?
[05:10] <Flannel> pilgrim: it's probably ~/.eclipse/
[05:10] <cor1> i have a rpm file how do i make it a .deb
[05:10] <blanky> elyon225: sweet, I was thinking I was gonna have to get a 5200 or something haha, I needa catch up with video cards
[05:10] <elyon225> Dr_willis: I've never had luck with the repos video drivers... either ATI or radeon... but I am stupid, so that may be why ;)
[05:10] <blanky> cor1: sudo apt-get install alien
[05:10] <cor1> did that
[05:10] <HymnToLife> Dr_willis, nope, the driver for the repos don't support that card
[05:10] <Dr_willis> elyon225,  ive had great luck with them. :) takes me 2-4 min to get the things going
[05:10] <blanky> cor1: sudo alien --help (look for the rpm2debian flag)
[05:10] <Flannel> cor1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[05:10] <zcat[1] > z-tau: for USB drives and stuff, I think that's what handles it... don't quote me though I've been wrong before...
[05:11] <Ch1ppy> Can anyone help me fix this? http://pastebin.ca/364420
[05:11] <elyon225> Dr_willis: Well, the nvidia official drivers installed perfectly every time for me.
[05:11] <blanky> Dr_willis: me too, I never understood why people complain about drivers
[05:11] <Dr_willis> HymnToLife,  interesting.. there was a wiki/howto on the proper way to use the 'latest nvidia drivers' but ive never messed with them.
[05:11] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: no other then enable 32b support which is a prompt via the nv installer
[05:11] <blanky> until recently :'(
[05:11] <dimeotane> can xubuntu run 'comfortably' on a pII system or does it need pIII ?
[05:11] <tun2> elyon225: odd... i'm not sure how to show you the problem... it won't even let me log out!
[05:11] <HymnToLife> you running 64bit ubuntu jwtodd ?
[05:11] <jwtodd> Dr_willis: correct. i had to install 6.10 alternate
[05:11] <SilentDis> hello :)
[05:12] <elyon225> dimeotane: You should be just fine with a p2
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: I think it should run
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: I installed on an old pc a while ago
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: make sure you get the alternate install disk though
[05:12] <pilgrim> Flannel, what about global configuration?
[05:12] <zcat[1] > dimeotane: It's quite tolerable on a 500MHz machine as long as you have a decent amount of ram
[05:12] <SilentDis> bit of an odd one here...  Is it possible to set an alternate location for apt to search for package files in tandem with it's own?
[05:12] <elyon225> Ch1ppy: Have you tried to simply reinstall it?
[05:12] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: yes
[05:12] <dimeotane> awesome.. I've got a couple pII laptops donated to our school... they're just crying out for some ugrading of the OS
[05:12] <Flannel> pilgrim: probably /etc/eclipse/
[05:12] <Pelo> Ch1ppy,  start with sudo apt-get update then try upgrade
[05:13] <blanky> SilentDis: sorry dont know what you mean, but maybe /etc/apt/sources.list is what you want?
[05:13] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, I guess you're toast then, install the 32bit one
[05:13] <function1> i cant empty my trash! i dont have permission! clicking on the panel applet, i see stuff in the trash. however, there is nothing in /home/me/.Trash ! help
[05:13] <tun2> elyonn225: i have an idea: i will shut down through the text-only mode using CTRL+ALT+F1 and then use sudo poweroff
[05:13] <Ch1ppy> elyon225: just tried, no go
[05:13] <elyon225> tun2: Have you tried restarting X?  Press CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[05:13] <tun2> brb
[05:13] <jwtodd> toast ... no good :)
[05:13] <Ch1ppy> Pelo: done many times :)
[05:13] <tun2> oh, i could do that
[05:13] <theshadow> Scrolling doesn't seem to be working in Firefox I checked the ZAxisMapping and its set to "4 5" anyone have any other ideas?
[05:13] <zcat[1] > My lappy has 256M .. It's OK for a couple of programs at a time but running gimp and OOo at the same time is a no-go.
[05:13] <tun2> ellyon225: but it's not working...
[05:13] <tun2> ok, my idea
[05:13] <tun2> brb
[05:13] <z-tau> zcat[1] : are you aware of any official documentation that describes how automounting works in Ubuntu.  I've tried searching on the web but come up with nothing.  And there seems to be very little documentation I've found on how Ubuntu is put together or structured and what packages make it up as a whole distribution
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: Wait
[05:14] <tun2> ok
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: Don't use poweroff.
[05:14] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: once i (re)install the driver for the session i'm good. the config just doesn't survive a reboot. seems that way anyways.
[05:14] <tun2> ok
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: sudo shutdown -r now
[05:14] <SilentDis> blanky, just installed xubuntu on a laptop, it's gotta pull 127mb of updates.  not gonna happen.  was figuring since I'm running the same distro on this machine (ubuntu 6.10), I could use it's apt-cache as a repository of sorts for that machine.
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: That will shut things down cleanly.
[05:14] <tun2> do i include the "now"?
[05:15] <elyon225> tun2: Yes... shutdown let's you specify a certain time to shutdown... saying "now" does it, well, now ;)
[05:15] <Flannel> tun2: yes, shutdown takes a time parameter
[05:15] <tun2> ok, brb
[05:15] <cor1> !paste
[05:15] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:15] <SilentDis> blanky, easy enough to nfs share out out my local /var/cache/apt/archives afterall :)
[05:15] <blanky> ohh, so you're saying you want to download the packages from another computer and then give them to the slow one?
[05:15] <elyon225> blanky: Yeah, actually... I'm curious about that too... is that possible?
[05:16] <HymnToLife> yes, but it can quickly become a pain
[05:16] <blanky> SilentDis: there's an apt command I forgot what it was (try apt help or something) where it just downloads the deb's and doesn't install them, then I guess you can install them yourself with something like sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[05:16] <cor1> blanky: i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6664/
[05:16] <blanky> SilentDis and elyon225, though there's probably an easier way to do it, I think SilentDis knows more than me here
[05:17] <SilentDis> blanky, sort of.  this machine is fully updated.  it's cache has a good amount of the .debs I'd need.  I can easily share out the /var/cache/apt/archives on this machine.
[05:17] <zcat[1] > z-tau: never really thought about it. There must be something in a wiki somewhere though.
[05:17] <elyon225> blanky: Synaptic will allow you to only download the packages too... although it doesn't tell you WHERE it downloaded them to ;)
[05:17] <blanky> SilentDis: ohhh I see what you mean, you already have them
[05:17] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: so my issue is x64 w/ that card (8800) then?
[05:17] <jwtodd> as u see it?
[05:18] <blanky> SilentDis: sorry man I don't know, I think you know more than me, but couldn't you set the path in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[05:18] <SilentDis> blanky, yep
[05:18] <needtoknow> Hello
[05:18] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, if it work the first time but not after a reboot, there must be something else
[05:18] <cor1> blanky: i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6664/
[05:18] <jwtodd> yup'rz
[05:18] <blanky> elyon225: use the command line, like I said, there's an apt flag that just downloads them, I forgot the path (maybe cur-dir?), otherwise, look it up, I don't know, sorry man
[05:18] <needtoknow> How do I register my nick?
[05:18] <HymnToLife> what does the Xorg log say after a reboot ?
[05:18] <HymnToLife> !register | needtoknow

[05:19] <HymnToLife> I win
[05:19] <elyon225> needtoknow: Type '/msg nickserv register [password] '
[05:19] <SilentDis> blanky, checking the list now... I am not sure how to specify it though.  that's a collection of repos in there, is it possible to specify a directory as a repo?
[05:19] <SilentDis> !nick | needtoknow
[05:19] <blanky> cor1: got it bud, try sudo apt-get install build-essential and then try again
[05:19] <z-tau> zcat[1] : I guess that's a no then :-(.  Well I'll have a look at gnome-vfs-daemon as you suggested and see if that helps.. thanks.
[05:19] <needtoknow> HELLO
[05:19] <needtoknow> CAN YOU HEAR ME
[05:19] <needtoknow> OR SEE ME
[05:19] <tuna> ellyon225: hey

[05:20] <HymnToLife> needtoknow, yes but drop the caps please
[05:20] <blanky> SilentDis: I'm sorry, I don't know, though I'm pretty sure. I suggest going into #debian and asking, pretending you use debian
[05:20] <SilentDis> !caps | needtoknow
[05:20] <ubotu> needtoknow: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:20] <zcat[1] > !caps

[05:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nick needtoknow - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:20] <zcat[1] > !botsnack
[05:20] <tuna> ellyon225: it's tun2. it was supposed to e tuna, but it got changed in gaim :/
[05:20] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:20] <elyon225> needtoknow: I think you're confused lol
[05:20] <UdontKnow> needtoknow: UdontKnow
[05:20] <blanky> !shutup
[05:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shutup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:20] <blanky> guys shut up, stop abusing the bot
[05:20] <elyon225> tuna: Gotcha.
[05:20] <elyon225> blanky: Oh, ubotu likes it :P
[05:21] <SilentDis> blanky, no need to pretend.  I'm pretty proficient in a linux environment, just don't know the ins and outs of the apt package system yet is all :)
[05:21] <zcat[1] > I'd type !botabuse but that would be overdoing it..
[05:21] <tuna> elyon225: ok, i'm gonna pastebin that thing to you. i warn you: it's long!
[05:21] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: (cool nick btw) ... Xorg.0.log tails ... Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
[05:21] <blanky> SilentDis: yeah it looks like you know lots :D still, the debianers can be pretty mean :(
[05:21] <elyon225> tuna: What 'thing' are you pasting?
[05:21] <blanky> SilentDis: even IF you use debian hehe
[05:22] <blanky> at least, that channel is, don't mean to generalize
[05:22] <tuna> elyon225: the results of my trying to install gnome
[05:22] <tuna> using apt-get
[05:22] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: above that is a backtrace w/ 20 lib lib/mem refs
[05:22] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, lsmod | grep nvidia
[05:22] <HymnToLife> something there ?
[05:22] <elyon225> blanky: I tried installing debian, but the installer asked WAY too many questions and it didn't even install X for me... so I came back to Ubuntu :)
[05:22] <jwtodd> james@xphylz:/var/log$ lsmod|grep nvidia
[05:22] <jwtodd> nvidia               7761816  22
[05:22] <jwtodd> i2c_core               29312  2 nvidia,i2c_ec
[05:22] <SilentDis> blanky, *shrug* every group has it's... interesting... members.  there's always people willing to help too.  just gotta look around a bit is all.  :)
[05:22] <blanky> elyon225: :D I tried it and I actually liked it but installing ati drivers scared me :(
[05:22] <HymnToLife> the module is loaded then
[05:22] <blanky> SilentDis: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Debian hehe
[05:23] <cor1> blanky: that didnt work
[05:23] <HymnToLife> it's weird why Xorg won't start
[05:23] <blanky> cor1: same EXACT output?
[05:23] <cmdrlanc> need some help with install problem
 Sorry, I don't know anything about i found out - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
 Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
 Lol sorry for thinking you were intelligent
 Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[05:23] <jwtodd> i bet when my x goes bad it isn't.
[05:23] <jwtodd> we'll see
[05:23] <zcat[1] > I don't recally debian being that hard... been a while though. Ubuntu is too easy...
[05:23] <HymnToLife> anyway, I think you'll experience less problem sticking with the 32bit ubuntu
[05:23] <cor1> blanky: Yes sir
[05:23] <jZed> i installed 6.10-alternate and everything went ok except "select and install software" quit and wouldn't run, so now I have a bare system that won't run X, can I do a dist-upgrade or something to get my full ubuntu system?
[05:23] <jwtodd> coolio. thx.
[05:23] <HymnToLife> is there any reason why you're runing the 64 bit one ?
[05:23] <jwtodd> 'cuz of the shiny new (newegg.com rocks) cpu :)
[05:23] <jwtodd> i bought
[05:24] <elyon225> jZed: If you had errors while installing, I would recommend reinstalling.
[05:24] <blanky> cor1: it STILL says sh: gcc: not found ?
[05:24] <needtoknow> Ubuntu 2 easy? This thing tells me I am not root when I am trying to edit sources
[05:24] <cmdrlanc> I can't even get it to install.
[05:24] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell needtoknow about sudo | needtoknow, see the private message from ubotu.
[05:24] <cor1> !paste
[05:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:24] <zcat[1] > jwtodd: bad news.. all the non-free stuff like wifi drivers, codecs, flash... they're all 32 bit.
[05:24] <elyon225> !sudo | needtoknow
[05:24] <ubotu> needtoknow: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:24] <cmdrlanc> it keeps saying no root file system
[05:24] <HymnToLife> I win, again :p
[05:24] <jZed> can I reinstall from the net, since I have the partitions and boot all set up already?
[05:25] <jwtodd> zcat[1] : won't they run under 32 support on x64?
[05:25] <HymnToLife> !install
[05:25] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:25] <tuna> elyon225: http://rafb.net/p/vPHR6159.html
[05:25] <elyon225> jZed: Probably... but I wouldn't be able to help you there :)
[05:25] <jwtodd> i've got some other stuff running that way
[05:25] <cor1> blanky: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666/
[05:25] <tuna> elyon225: maybe i should reinstall?
[05:25] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, afaik, 32 bit support in 64 is still quite buggy
[05:25] <zcat[1] > jwtodd: not sure. The easiest option is just run 32bit, that seems to be what most people end up doing around here..
[05:26] <zcat[1] > I don't think you lose too much anyhow.
[05:26] <HymnToLife> I suggest sticking with the 32bits ubuntu until the 64 bit is mature enough$
[05:26] <jwtodd> sudo defined: http://xkcd.com/c149.html
[05:26] <GrimSleeper> Im tryint to install mythtv, and was wondering if anyone can walk me thru it.
[05:26] <jwtodd> i just bought that shirt :)
[05:26] <zcat[1] > I'm running 32 bit on my AMD64 here.
[05:26] <elyon225> tuna: Wow... lots of errors when installing the gdm and gnome packages...
[05:26] <jwtodd> thx HymnToLife and zcat[1] .
[05:26] <elyon225> tuna: Unfortunately, other than attempting to reinstall, I have no idea.
[05:26] <blanky> cor1: are you using amd64?
[05:26] <Chicory> Hey, what's going on with gparted?
[05:26] <cor1> no
[05:27] <HymnToLife> Chicory, please elaborate
[05:27] <elyon225> Chicory: You may want to be a little more specific.
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: you got the amd64 package, you need to get the other one (i386, x86)
[05:27] <Chicory> I resized my /dev/sda1 partition, and yet it still thinks that there's only 7.8 gigs or so of free space --
[05:27] <cor1> how i tell >blanky
[05:27] <zcat[1] > <sigh> I really need to do homework.
[05:27] <Chicory> This shouldn't be possible, considering that I resized it from 32-some gigs to some ...97.
[05:27] <cor1> what you mean? >blanky
[05:27] <elyon225> Chicory: Have you applied the changes and restarted your computer?
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: where'd you download it?
[05:27] <tuna> elyon225: so maybe i should reinstall?
[05:27] <Chicory> elyon225: Very yes.
[05:27] <elyon225> tuna: That's the only suggestion I can make, sorry.
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: give me the site
[05:28] <cor1> blanky gaims website
[05:28] <blanky> link
[05:28] <Chicory> But it seems to think that there's a HUGE amount of the EXT3 partition that's used.
[05:28] <elyon225> Chicory: What is /sda1?  Is that a hard drive or external storage?
[05:28] <tuna> elyon225: oh... ok, so i'll try installing Ubuntu and installing KDE on that...
[05:28] <tim167> where do i start for installing Beryl desktop on my ubuntu machine ?
[05:28] <tuna> cya later
[05:28] <Chicory> Er, sda2.
[05:28] <Chicory> hda2?
[05:28] <rapid> tuna, why not get kubuntu rather.
[05:29] <Chicory> It's my second partition.
[05:29] <cor1> blanky http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=479631
[05:29] <needtoknow> xubuntu
[05:29] <elyon225> tim167: Do you have nvidia or ati card?
[05:29] <SilentDis> Chicory, what does fsck say?
[05:29] <GrimSleeper> Is there a channel for mythtv?
[05:29] <tuna> rapid i had kubuntu and i tried to install gnome on it
[05:29] <tim167> elyon225: yes
[05:29] <Chicory> Let me check.
[05:29] <elyon225> tim167: Haha.. that was a one or the other question :)
[05:29] <cmdrlanc> can some one please help me....I am very new at this, and at this point without the live CD my laptop is now a paper weight...please...someone
[05:29] <kdub432> tim, check search for the beryl wiki on google
[05:29] <Chicory> It SAYS that /dev/sda2 is mounted.
[05:29] <kdub432> good guide for beryl installation
[05:29] <slavik> anyone here use evdev driver for their mouse?
[05:29] <needtoknow> I made my own ubuntu (just changed the graphics to say my name all over the place) patriuntu
[05:29] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Have you tried installing Ubuntu?
[05:29] <tuna> actually, it's probly cuz of my weird habit of installing all the packages i can in adept...
[05:30] <tim167> elyon225: aah oops: nvidia :)
[05:30] <Chicory> It also suggests strongly that running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem is BAD IDEA.
[05:30] <cmdrlanc> that's what I am trying to do...the install keeps hanging at the partition stuff.
[05:30] <Kris_T> Extremely annoying issue with Ubuntu Edgy; the whole thing freezes over every now and then, gives me a high-pitched beep and the only thing i can do is to reboot the whole system. It's done that 3 times the past 4 hours, anyone have a clue what may be causing it??
[05:30] <SilentDis> Chicory, you'll need to unmount the partition, of course.  if it's the primary drive, just boot from your livecd.  then, sudo fsck -f -C /dev/devicename
[05:30] <elyon225> tim167: Okay... hang on a second, I'll get you a link to the automatic install script that worked great for me.
[05:30] <cor1> blanky: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=479631
[05:30] <wyatt_earp> is there a way i can clone the exact packages that are installed on one system to anothe?
[05:30] <Frogzoo> !anyone | slavik
[05:30] <ubotu> slavik: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:30] <kristjan_> how do I apply this thing - http://librarian.launchpad.net/5409028/kiso.debdiff
[05:30] <Chicory> Just an FYI, SilentDis.  XD
[05:30] <jmazaredo> im currentl running aptitude dist-upgrade and electricity is cut, how can i fix  broken files and resume
[05:30] <elyon225> tim167: Actually... last question... do you have Edgy?
[05:30] <blanky> cor1: which one did you download
[05:30] <slavik> Frogzoo: I asked a legitamate question ...
[05:30] <blanky> the fourth one?
[05:31] <cor1> blanky:  			gaim-2.0.0-0.beta6.src.rpm
[05:31] <SilentDis> Chicory, damn, i didn't type fast enough my warning ;)
[05:31] <tim167> elyon225: Edgy
[05:31] <Chicory> Be back in a second.
[05:31] <blanky> cor1: the fourth one down right?
[05:31] <tim167> slyon225: so..yes
[05:31] <cor1> blanky: yes
[05:31] <tim167> elyon225
[05:31] <elyon225> tim167: Okay, go here and follow the instructions: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia#Ubuntu
[05:32] <blanky> cor1: try and use the third one down instead
[05:32] <cor1> blaky ok
[05:32] <cmdrlanc> anyone?
[05:32] <blanky> gaim-2.0.0-0.beta6.fc5.i385.rpm
[05:32] <cor1> whats file rollover
[05:32] <phasegen> does anyone know how to create a rule in evolution to send emails from specific senders directly to the trash???
[05:32] <blanky> reask > cmdrlanc
[05:32] <tim167> elyon: ok thanks, have to reboot my modem i think, cant get online with other machine...
[05:33] <tim167> elyon225: btw: is ATI as good as nvidia (i read that they are more 'open' about drivers etc...)
[05:33] <cmdrlanc> install is hanging at partitions on ubuntu....windows won't boot now either so I am stuck
[05:33] <needtoknow> ORLY^^^
[05:33] <elyon225> tim167: Quite the opposite, actually... ATI driver support in Linux is terrible.
[05:33] <SilentDis> tim167, my PERSONAL experience is that the ATI linux drivers are woefully lacking.  Nvidia's work great.
[05:33] <GrimSleeper> I don't any good mythtv links for ubuntu?
[05:33] <needtoknow> LOL ^^
[05:33] <elyon225> tim167: nvidia drivers work great..
[05:33] <panclock> Anyone know the answer to my question?
[05:33] <needtoknow> word
[05:33] <SilentDis> bbiab
[05:34] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it?
[05:34] <Frogzoo> SilentDis: the proprietary ati drivers are ok for all but games
[05:34] <needtoknow> My intel graphics card apparently has one driver and thats for windows :-|
[05:34] <function1> it seems my trash bin is linked to /var/run for some reason.. how might i resolve this?
[05:34] <kristjan_> anyway. I was asking about how to apply debdiff, but got disconnected... so how does applying debdiff work
[05:34] <Frogzoo> !915 | needtoknow
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 915 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <cor1> Blanky: same thing happens
[05:34] <tim167> elyon225: ok, yes i have good experience with nvidia too, but the drivers are binaries only iirc, so not 'open' as in GPL-ed or something
[05:35] <blanky> im sorry cor1, googl 'gaim 2.0 beta6 deb'
[05:35] <tim167> SilentDis:^
[05:35] <blanky> or something
[05:35] <wyatt_earp> ok, i've gotten all the installed packages AND versions from one of my systems, how can install those specific packages and versions on another system?
[05:35] <elyon225> tim167: There are open nvidia drivers too... but they don't support 3D :)
[05:35] <cor1> blanky: ok thansk for trying
[05:35] <needtoknow> HymnToLife wants you to know: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:35] <needtoknow> I use that
[05:35] <blanky> cor1: no problem, sorry
[05:35] <needtoknow> sudo gedite
[05:35] <needtoknow> I hate Ubuntu's
[05:35] <cmdrlanc> blanky: install keeps hanging, windows won't boot either, crisis!
[05:35] <blanky> sudo gedi
[05:36] <blanky> sudo gedit you mean
[05:36] <HymnToLife> needtoknow, don't
[05:36] <needtoknow> ;-)
[05:36] <panclock> Anyone know the answer to my question?
[05:36] <HymnToLife> !gksudo
[05:36] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>
[05:36] <elyon225> needtoknow: Well, if you type the command properly Ubuntu will work  :)
[05:36] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be?  But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:37] <elyon225> GrimSleeper: Well, you're not going to find one better.
[05:37] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it? (Alsa drivers? mounted ntfs-usb-drive? something else??)
[05:37] <jmazaredo> where can i find the boot logs
[05:37] <wyatt_earp> i've gotten all the installed packages AND versions from one of my systems, how can install those specific packages and versions on another system? anyone at all?
[05:37] <HymnToLife> !botsnack
[05:37] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:37] <doojin> Hi
[05:37] <elyon225> jmazaredo: /var/logs/
[05:37] <doojin> It was amazing
[05:37] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I dont think it hanged, it typically does take a long time to partition on the desktop install disk
[05:37] <elyon225> wyatt_earp: Burn them to a CD and then you can install them on the other system.
[05:37] <doojin> Both /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab pointed to swap partition as root partition
[05:37] <blanky> cmdrlanc: you can't really kill your hard drive, do you still wnat windows? if so, do what I told you
[05:38] <doojin> How could this happen? I didn't do it
[05:38] <cmdrlanc> blanky: keeps saying no root file system even after I choose / in the drop down for one of the new partitions
[05:38] <HymnToLife> doojin, did you repartition your drive after the install ?
[05:38] <blanky> cmdrlanc: :S
[05:38] <doojin> HymnToLife : no
[05:38] <needtoknow> blanky , you are experiencing a night mare that I had...... scary....
[05:38] <wyatt_earp> elyon225, is there a way i can get those packages off the system? right now i just have a list generated from apt-show-versions
[05:38] <needtoknow> Partitions ... scary ....
[05:38] <blanky> needtoknow: really
[05:38] <doojin> HymnToLife : After all I restored grub
[05:39] <blanky> needtoknow: it's cmdrlanc not me
[05:39] <elyon225> wyatt_earp: Ahh... you need to download the packages.  Look more into apt-get and find the right command to do that... I'm not sure.
[05:39] <doojin> HymnToLife: But there was a mystery
[05:39] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sorry man, dont know, if you did indeed kill windows, sorry man, that's how you learn, through mistakes, I did it a couple times and so did my friends
[05:39] <blanky> cmdrlanc: but dont worry, your actual hard drive isn't dead, shouldn't be...
[05:39] <psykidellic> Hi....I just got an old machine from my professor and for him his ethernet card was working...so I installed Ubuntu 6.01 and 6.1 but I cannot get the system detect my card
[05:39] <elyon225> blanky: Windows is pretty easy to kill, though it's also prone to suicide.
[05:39] <wyatt_earp> alright elyon225, i just thought there might be an easy way to say 'install only these packages and only these versions'
[05:39] <psykidellic> i did modprobe etc. according to Google
[05:40] <psykidellic> but nothing worked
[05:40] <blanky> elyon225: ROFL
[05:40] <cmdrlanc> blanky: when I boot windows it say missing OS....and umbuntu won't install...what now?
[05:40] <psykidellic> so now I started the system with E live Live CD
[05:40] <psykidellic> and it detects everything.....so why isnt Ubuntu detecting it? Can use this live system to fix something on my Ubuntu?
[05:40] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Call Microsoft tech support and ask them to help you install Ubuntu ;)  That's always fun.
[05:40] <kris740> PROBLEM: Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers. Anyone know what may be causing it?  Do you care about windows?
[05:42] <cmdrlanc> blanky: dual boot
[05:42] <Volker> fsck /dev/sda1 -y
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: okay, I take it you messed up your partitions, so I suggest reinstalling windows
[05:43] <slipstream3d> hello, can anyone help a complete (server) noob with LVM? can you take two existing, non-LVM drives and merge them without destroying data?
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: do you mind doing that?
[05:43] <Chicory> ...
[05:43] <Chicory> Damn it!  >: E
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: or do you have important data you can't live without
[05:43] <Chicory> The partition STILL thinks it's taken up most of the filesystem!
[05:43] <cmdrlanc> blanky:I didn't do anything though....run partition magic and followed the onscreen instructions.
[05:43] <slipstream3d> or at least take one non-blank drive and one blank one and merge them without losing the data on the non-blank drive?
[05:43] <Chicory> It's like ... 89% percent used, but it shouldn't be much more than 33%.
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: OHHH, partition magic?
[05:44] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: yes....about 6 months of email
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I thought you meant ubuntu's partition program
[05:44] <Chicory> It's like gparted just wrote data where it didn't see any!
[05:44] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Did you follow Partition Magic's recommendations to make a backup BEFORE modifying partitions? ;)
[05:44] <slipstream3d> i've had much better success with gparted than partition magic anyway, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper to boot
[05:44] <cmdrlanc> blanky: the umbuntu partion program keeps trying to redo everything again...and keeps saying no root
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: okay, try putting your windows disk in the computer and start it up, once it loads (the disk) enter the recovery console, log in to your windows, then ocne you're at the command prompt, type FIXMBR
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: see if that fixes anything
[05:44] <Chicory> Why does my /sda2 partition seem to think it's absolutely chock full of crap?
[05:45] <HymnToLife> Chicory, because you resized it
[05:45] <Volker> LVM, you are better of with software RAID
[05:45] <slipstream3d> is that a message for me, volker?
[05:45] <Volker> or hardware RAID
[05:46] <Chicory> Yes, but why can't I use the damn space I just carved out for it?
[05:46] <Volker> yes
[05:46] <HymnToLife> hardware RAID is pretty rare though
[05:46] <HymnToLife> and expensive
[05:46] <Volker> not really... expensive yes
[05:46] <Volker> what kind of mobo do you have?
[05:46] <rapid> it comes standard on lots of new mb's
[05:46] <slipstream3d> alright, what would be the best method of combining a 120gb drive and a 160gb drive so they can be one continuous network share. i don't care about speed.
[05:46] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it? (Alsa drivers? mounted ntfs-usb-drive? something else??)
[05:46] <HymnToLife> rapid, wrong
[05:46] <HymnToLife> that is just some fake RAID-like crap
[05:46] <pavs> how do I change the default movie player to VLC? totem sucks big time you cant play anything on it
[05:46] <Volker> slip, raid won't work
[05:47] <HymnToLife> by no means real hardware RAID
[05:47] <slipstream3d> i know, i want to do "JBOD"
[05:47] <Volker> you need like drives to raid them
[05:47] <slipstream3d> hence I think LVM does that
[05:47] <rapid> HymnToLife, i hear you.
[05:47] <elyon225> pavs: Totem will play everything if you have the right codecs installed.
[05:47] <Volker> thought you were using like drives

[05:47] <Flannel> slipstream3d: LVM does that fine, yeah
[05:47] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I can put my hands on SUSE 9.1 and linspire5.0.59....will either of those help?
[05:47] <newbuntu07> Quick question: How do I see/manage all file<->program associations in one location?
[05:47] <blanky> cmdrlanc: what do you mean
[05:47] <hanasaki> xorg starts fine and loads glx.. no errors in the log file / however, glxinfo and any 3D program crash...  I have reinstalled the nvidia package / still no good.. any thouhts?
[05:48] <pavs> thanks I will check it out
[05:48] <slipstream3d> flannel: do you know if there's a way to do it without losing the data on an existing ext3 partition on one or both drives? or will i have to copy everything over to my other box first
[05:48] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I can't find my knoppix...will either of those work in it's place?
[05:48] <Volker> hanasaki: have you checked your xorg.conf to make sure it says NV instead of nvidia or generic?
[05:48] <blanky> cmdrlanc: if all you want to do is backup your emails, I suggest you get a live cd like knoppix, run it (put it in the drive, restart pc), then go into the windows partition (it'll be on your desktop, or should), and then back them up somehow
[05:48] <hanasaki> says nivida..
[05:48] <Volker> slip: i think you will have to back up to another drive just to make sure
[05:48] <hanasaki> it should be nv?
[05:48] <Chicory> Is there any way for me to, you know, clean up that partition?
[05:48] <Volker> it should say NV
[05:48] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I suggest any live cd, knoppix would be best in my opinion
[05:49] <blanky> cmdrlanc: do you have more than one drive?
[05:49] <hanasaki> whats the diff?
[05:49] <Volker> good question
[05:49] <hanasaki> i thought the nivida pakcage made nvidia not nv
[05:49] <slipstream3d> damn, that means copying 100+gb of data over a network. at least i upgraded to gigabit >.<
[05:49] <Volker> what card are you using?
[05:49] <cmdrlanc> blanky: no...just the one cd/dvd/cd burner combo
[05:49] <Volker> and what os v?
[05:49] <elyon225> hanasaki: the nvidia drivers are the free ones, and they don't support 3D acceleration.
[05:49] <hanasaki> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36.1 [GeForce FX 5700 Ultra]  (rev a1)
[05:49] <ala> how can i add a directory to my PATH?
[05:49] <hanasaki> and nv supports accel?
[05:50] <slipstream3d> i thought "nvidia" was the nonfree and "nv" was the free, lol, oops
[05:50] <theshadow> How can I tell what version of Xorg I'm running?
[05:50] <elyon225> hanasaki: nv is the proprietary format that DOES support 3D
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: yeah, MAYBE (italics) you can run knoppix on that drive, then take out the cd while it's running (doubt it, worth a try) then put in a blank cd and use k3b to burn your data
[05:50] <elyon225> slipstream3d: Uh oh... am *I* wrong? lol
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: or you can uploat it to a site if you have one
[05:50] <elyon225> hang on... lemme check what I'm using...
[05:50] <hanasaki> nvidia is what builds if you download hte free one from nvidia.com or build the ubuntu package
[05:50] <Flannel> slipstream3d: Uh, I don't know if theres a utility to do it inline.  But, I don't believe so.
[05:50] <UdontKnow> theshadow: look at /var/log/X*
[05:50] <slipstream3d> i think nv is the one that comes with xorg
[05:50] <hanasaki> slipstream3d: yes
[05:50] <HymnToLife> hanasaki, free as in beer
[05:50] <hanasaki> which one will do beryl?
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: besides, aren't your emails on another servers? or are they solely on your computer
[05:50] <Volker> NV
[05:50] <HymnToLife> not Free as in Freedom
[05:50] <Volker> NV does beryl
[05:50] <hanasaki> brb
[05:50] <Volker> and i ran into this myself a couple of times...
[05:51] <hanasaki> ;)
[05:51] <Kris740_2> well what do you know, it just happened again, if I can't get this crap to stop freezing over all the time I sure won't keep using it
[05:51] <Volker> now are you using a beta driver?
[05:51] <elyon225> hanasaki, Volker:  Hmm... I'm using 'nvidia' and I have full acceleration.
[05:51] <Volker> elyon, is it the beta driver?
[05:51] <slipstream3d> you need the "nonfree" package nvidia-glx installed and working to use beryl... preferably with the newest beta version (9xxx)
[05:51] <Volker> slipstream3d: right
[05:51] <elyon225> Volker: I have the official nvidia  drivers.
[05:51] <Volker> but they screwed everything up from 6.x to 6.10
[05:52] <ala> anyone know how to add a directory to my path?
[05:52] <Volker> mkdir
[05:52] <newbuntu07> How do I see/manage file-to-program associations in one location? (I've googled and searched the wiki... I just can't find the answer..)
[05:52] <newbuntu07> Anybody? :)
[05:52] <elyon225> tim167: How'd it go?
[05:52] <Flannel> ala: why do you want to? which directory?
[05:52] <ala> Volker: systemwide path
[05:52] <tim167> can someone help me get my desktop back online, something wron with network settings i think...
[05:53] <tim167> elyon225 ^ couldnt try yet
[05:53] <nanothief> tim167: any more details?
[05:53] <ala> Flannel: the system wide PATH i would like to add a directory which contains my binary
[05:53] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I am running nubuntu live now....how do I see the c:\ drive....I am seeing is my external HD on the desk top.
[05:53] <Volker> ala: what do you mean?
[05:53] <Flannel> ala: which directory?  Why not put the binary somewhere it's supposed to go?
[05:53] <blanky> cmdrlanc: your external drive isn't the one you want right
[05:54] <gabriela> i want to install a program called jin
[05:54] <cmdrlanc> blanky: correct. C:\ is internal
[05:54] <hanasaki> elyon is a beta to what?
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: try,... sudo mkdir /mnt/win
[05:54] <gabriela> does someone know how?
[05:54] <psykidellic> anybody?
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda /mnt/win
[05:54] <hanasaki> Volker:  ummm no dice..
[05:54] <Volker> jin?
[05:54] <blanky> wait, cmdrlanc , I meant
[05:54] <newbuntu07> Hi folks..... is this thing on... can anyone here me?
[05:54] <newbuntu07> erm.. see me.
[05:54] <ranny1> hi,
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
[05:54] <Volker> hanasaki: your xorg.conf says nvidia
[05:54] <blanky> newbuntu07: yes...
[05:54] <Flannel> newbuntu07: ack
[05:54] <hanasaki> it did.. just tried with nv
[05:54] <ala> Flannel: because it is my binary ... ~/code/myprogram
[05:55] <hanasaki> which is the right one?
[05:55] <nanothief> newbuntu07:no
[05:55] <tim167> nanothief: trying to determine..., i am online with 2 computers, i switched cables and one computer can still go online, the same one that could go online before switching...so its not the cable
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: what did it say?
[05:55] <hanasaki> ?
[05:55] <newbuntu07> thanks...
[05:55] <hanasaki> where?
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: did X11 crash?
[05:55] <hanasaki> nope
[05:55] <hanasaki> no errors
[05:55] <hanasaki> runs fine
[05:55] <hanasaki> glx loads
[05:55] <hanasaki> issue is.. beryl wont start
[05:55] <nanothief> tim167: what happens with ping www.google.com?
[05:55] <gabriela> want to install jin
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: let me see... i can't remember what i did exactly to get beryl to run
[05:55] <tim167> nanothief, i've been playing around with vncviewer, after that i rebooted, and cant get online anymore
[05:55] <Flannel> ala: Right, if you want to run it, for yourself, just use ./programname, if youre looking to make it available for everyone, put it in /usr/local/bin
[05:56] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: got this......  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        missing codepage or other error
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        dmesg | tail  or so
[05:56] <Volker> hanasaki: but i went through the same thing...
[05:56] <blanky> cmdrlanc: wow I'm stupid
[05:56] <blanky> cmdrlanc: hold on
[05:56] <tim167> nanothief: unknown host www.google.com
[05:56] <newbuntu07> Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?  I would like to see a list of what programs have registered what  file types/extensions...

[05:57] <hanasaki> Volker:  you can IM me if you need to
[05:57] <Volker> hanasaki: do you have beryl running at startup?
[05:57] <hanasaki> no

[05:57] <ubotu> gabriela: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:57] <ala> Flannel:  no...there is a way which you can add a directory to the system wide path...so i don't have to put it in somewhere like /usr/local/bin ... this needs root access, and i might not have it later on... but i can always modify my own systemwide path

[05:59] <Volker> hanasaki: looking up some documentation
[05:59] <blanky> admin__: or try sudo apt-cache search glib, then install the one it says with the -dev at the end, only if build-essential didnt work
[05:59] <hanasaki> thanks.. Volker I will wait...
[05:59] <Chicory> But every utility seems to declare that quite a deal of the parition has been written/used ...
[05:59] <Volker> hanasaki: did you follow the beryl wiki whe n you installed it?
[05:59] <NETWizz> i need a driver
[05:59] <Chicory> But, uh, it ... hasn't.

[06:00] <Volker> hanpl
[06:00] <Flannel> ala: I'd rather you tell me why it's so important that it remain in your homedir.  What difference does needing to run it as root make?
[06:00] <needtoknow> nobodey laughed at my sudo apt-get STI , sudo apt-get antibiotics  joke
[06:00] <Volker> oops
[06:00] <Volker> hanasaki: ok

[06:00] <andy1> hi everyone, im having trouble setting up tightvncserver properly on ubuntu, i've got it installed and everything but when i use vncviewer to connect to it all i get is a grey background with a terminal window, but when i want is a gnome session, can anyone please help me?
[06:00] <cmdrlanc> blanky: ok....can now see the old C:\ stuff including windows....what now?
[06:00] <[0x90] > not all of them are created
[06:00] <tim167> nanothief: eth0 is set to Automatic Configuration (DHCP), normally this works, like it worked a few hours ago...
[06:00] <blanky> you can see it now cmdrlanc ? niice
[06:00] <nanothief> tim167: ok add these addresses to you DNS Server addresses : <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:00] <blanky> cmdrlanc: well, go to the c drive and look for the emails
[06:00] <blanky> cmdrlanc: then the next problem is to try to figure out how to back them up, maybe upload them to a server, burn them, or something
[06:01] <nanothief> tim167: sometimes with a change of settings DHCP stops working...
[06:01] <Volker> hanasaki: so let me get this straight, X11 starts, and beryl displays the icon on the taskbar?
[06:01] <[0x90] > is it possible to make mpg321 output streams to a tty instead of alsa?

[06:01] <hanasaki> running metacity
[06:01] <nosilver4u> does anyone know how to make psi (or any other qt app) un-uglified in gnome?

[06:01] <Volker> hanasaki: you are running metacity?
[06:01] <hanasaki> yes
[06:01] <Chicory> I mean, I can only *account* for 32 gigs in the filesystem.
[06:01] <blanky> cmdrlanc: uh, what?

[06:02] <[0x90] > metacity stopped

[06:02] <gabriela> does someone knows how to install jin-2.14
[06:02] <cmdrlanc> I use thunderbird for email....does the linux version use the same files names....aka copy right over?
[06:02] <[0x90] > forget... i dont have X
[06:02] <nanothief> tim167: hmmm try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:02] <bruenig> cmdrlanc, yeah I think so. I know firefox does so it would only follow...
[06:02] <ala> Flannel:  placing anything in /usr/local/bin requires root access...which I might *not* have later on... but if i add this dir to my *own* system wide path, i can have access to it without changing into ~/code/foo and then doing ./bar
[06:03] <[0x90] > well, im gonna cya. sleep
[06:03] <blanky> cor1: there you go :D

[06:04] <blanky> cor1: download them all and then do sudo dpkg -i gaim2_2.0beta6-1_i386.deb or whatever
[06:04] <hanasaki> Volker:  which ones... I wanna be sure
[06:04] <nanothief> tim167: so what was the thing that started your problems?
[06:04] <Varanger> Is anyone having problems with kernel 2.6.17-11 kernel and the lastest ATI drivers?
[06:04] <Flannel> ala: you can ~/code/foo/bar too, you know.  But, you want to modify your user's path, not the systemwide path.
[06:04] <Volker> hanasaki: let me check, also just to make sure, you are running Edgy right?
[06:04] <hanasaki> fiesty
[06:04] <Volker> ok

[06:05] <bruenig> roler, see those buttons on the monitor there
[06:05] <Explosif> anyone have any experience enabling s-video?
[06:05] <roler> bruenig, ; ha ha. lcd here bro, no other way than via the video card
[06:05] <hanasaki> Volker:  I am moving over to #ubuntu+1
[06:05] <tim167> nanothief i didnt change any settings manually, ...before noticing i couldnt get online anymore that is...
[06:06] <bruenig> bragger
[06:06] <Volker> hanasaki: ok
[06:06] <Flannel> ala: edit your .bash_profile, actually... there's already a thing in there, if you put stuff in ~/bin, it'll be in your PATH already
[06:06] <cmdrlanc> Anyone?
[06:07] <ala> Flannel: thanks i figured it out, #kubuntu was helpful

[06:08] <GigaClon> I can
[06:08] <Flannel> !sudo | ajkochanowicz
[06:08] <ubotu> ajkochanowicz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:08] <GigaClon> there you go
[06:08] <cellofellow> How do I get OpenOffice.org'
[06:09] <cellofellow> oops
[06:09] <GigaClon> basically type sudo <command>
[06:09] <GigaClon> then type your password
[06:09] <tim167> nanothief: two things: i get a bunch of lines with 'no such device'...and second: "no working leases in persistent database", does that have something to do with my isp not giving out a new ip maybe ? (i think normally only once every 2 hours a new ip is given...
[06:09] <zerodni> sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2
[06:09] <cmdrlanc> GigaClon: install help?
[06:10] <zerodni> sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[06:10] <cellofellow> How do I get OpenOffice's help working? I'm in Xubuntu so it doesn't work off the bat. I have the package openoffice.org-help-en-us which it says it needs, but can't find.
[06:10] <cellofellow> there, that's what I meant to say.
[06:10] <zerodni> cellofellow, what repostorys are you using ?

[06:11] <cmdrlanc> Anyone: PLEASE! Install help...
[06:11] <nanothief> tim167: well i'm pretty stuck. You could try uninstalling vncviewer, but I'm not sure if that would help. Can you remember the specific setting you were playing around with in vcn?
[06:11] <ajkochanowicz> even if I do sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:12] <ajkochanowicz> it doesn't even ask me for a pass
[06:12] <Madpilot> ajkochanowicz, put a space between sudo & edit
[06:12] <tim167> nanothief: i'm gonna try something stupid but i remember it worked once: turn off my computer completely, power switch on back side and all, so none of the leds inside is burning anymore, then reboot... lets see...
[06:12] <zerodni> ajkochanowicz, do sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:12] <ajkochanowicz> ok, lemme try that
[06:12] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: what about just sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ? or vim, whatever.
[06:12] <nanothief> tim167: good luck
[06:12] <zerodni> then hit the i key that will put you in incert mode
[06:12] <zerodni> nano works too :p

[06:15] <ajkochanowicz> oh my god, I think that worked.
[06:15] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sorry man I gotta go, if you backed up your stuff, just re-install windows
[06:16] <blanky> cmdrlanc: re-ask your question (be specific cause they dont know what's going on) to the channel

[06:17] <cmdrlanc> ALL: Again: Unbuntu install stuck at mounting points....please advise
[06:17] <ajkochanowicz> I think I successfully edited sources.list as the compiz website told me to do, but I don't see anything different?
[06:17] <cellofellow> apt-get update
[06:18] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you have sata drives
[06:18] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: I don't know
[06:18] <nanothief> doojin: system - preferences - keyboard shortcuts. Note that you can't use the windows keys with these
[06:18] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, if you add something to your sources.list you need to do sudo apt-get update before you can install from tha trepository
[06:18] <cellofellow> zerodni: well, looks like they weren't installed anyays
[06:18] <doojin> nanothief : why not?
[06:18] <cellofellow> zerodni: thanks for making me check
[06:18] <zerodni> are the mount points going to hda or sda
[06:18] <doojin> Window key is included in stardard keyboards
[06:19] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: hda
[06:19] <zerodni> cellofellow,  ah so you had a p not a v next to the help package
[06:19] <ajkochanowicz> shatrat: thank you and forgive my n00bness, how do you do the sudo apt-get, do you just type that into terminal?
[06:19] <cellofellow> zerodni: uhuh
[06:19] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, what does your mount string look like
[06:19] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: uhuh. Just learn to use the terminal. It's easier to send commands over IRC.
[06:19] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, yes.  "sudo apt-get update" will read all the sources in your sources.list
[06:19] <zerodni> cellofellow,  in yoru fstab
[06:19] <nanothief> doojin: gnome doesn't recognize windows as a modifier key (like alt and shift). You can install beryl to get this functionality (or there is probably another way). Beryl is a bit unstable though
[06:20] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, then sudo apt-get install compiz or whatever.  Im sure its in the how-to
[06:20] <ajkochanowicz> holy shit
[06:20] <ajkochanowicz> that was cool
[06:20] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: mount string?
[06:20] <cellofellow> zerodni: what about my fstab?
[06:20] <PwcrLinux> How i can find a video memory stats?
[06:20] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, like how much you have?
[06:20] <zerodni> cellofellow, that was for cmdrlanc :p
[06:20] <doojin> nanothief : what is beryl?
[06:21] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: 32 MB Vram
[06:21] <ajkochanowicz> I thought beryl was like a spin off of compiz
[06:21] <zyth> ajkochanowicz, it is
[06:21] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, are you still in the install if you are how far are you into it
[06:21] <zyth> a fork
[06:21] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, well there you go, you already know :)
[06:21] <cellofellow> doojin: it's got more features and stuff, and takes a different tack in style.
[06:21] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: step 5
[06:21] <doojin> cellofellow : what is beryl?
[06:21] <cmdrlanc> it keeps repeating "no root file system
[06:21] <nanothief> doojin: http://www.beryl-project.org/features.php
[06:21] <ajkochanowicz> after doing the apt-get, should it show up in add/remove or something?
[06:21] <zerodni> cmdrlanc,  have you installed packeges yet
[06:21] <Volker> beryl is an OpenGL desktop enhancement
[06:22] <cellofellow> doojin: a Compositing Window Manager with high-power visual effects.
[06:22] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: I have just been following instruction on the screen
[06:22] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I dont know, I never use the graphical apt programs.
[06:22] <nanothief> doojin: its overkill to do what you want though, but I don't know another way (but there would be another way)
[06:22] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: well, how I can find a video ram stats, does it's mem command?
[06:22] <Volker> it turns your desktop into full 3D
[06:22] <zerodni> ok let try this do a ctrl + alt F2
[06:22] <tim167> elyon225, nanothief: installing Beryl on my desktop now....(snaredrum roll...)
[06:22] <zerodni> see you have a login
[06:22] <ajkochanowicz> aw man.  It says it can't find the AMD64 package, (404 error)  Has anyone else had installation problems with amd64 dapper ubuntu?
[06:23] <ashaffer> ls
[06:23] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I assume youre following some ubuntu compiz how to?
[06:23] <cellofellow> doojin: uses the AIGLX Xorg extension or XGL to do fancy stuff like burning windows, rotating cube, wobbly windows, zooming effects, and transparency, and more.
[06:23] <pavs> any autocad like software for linux?
[06:23] <cellofellow> qcad
[06:23] <nanothief> tim167: hahaha you'll love the wobbly windows
[06:23] <pavs> qcad :) lemme chack it out
[06:23] <ajkochanowicz> shatrat: yeah, pretty much, the compiz how to is quite limited
[06:23] <doojin> cellofellow : and it is a window manager?
[06:23] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, dapper?  Its recommended that you use edgy if youre gonna ues beryl/compiz, they depend on too much new stuff
[06:24] <pavs> nice.. but not as advanced as autocad :(
[06:24] <cellofellow> doojin: yeah, it replaces MetaCity, (or xfwm4 or kwin or whatever you're using in you Desktop Environment.)
[06:24] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I dont know how it is with compiz, but the beryl repo for dapper hasnt been updated in like 9 versions
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> I had installation problems when trying to get edgy on.
[06:24] <doojin> cellofellow : It could attract some window users
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> it would stop at 50% when checking disks
[06:24] <cellofellow> pavs: are YOU as advanced as autocad?
[06:24] <doojin> It took 3 days to configure ubuntu
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> maybe I should just format the linux partitions and do a fresh install
[06:24] <tim167> nanothief: looking forward to show-off to my friends (most of whom are still windoze victims ;) )
[06:24] <Volker> lol tim167
[06:24] <Chicory> !resizing
[06:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about resizing - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:25] <cellofellow> doojin: especially since it needs less video memory and cpu than Vista's Aero.
[06:25] <Chicory> !gparted
[06:25] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:25] <doojin> cellofellow : aero
[06:25] <pavs> cellofellow: I am still learning qcad doesnt have 3d rendering, or so it seems
[06:25] <ardchoille> Anyone gnome which widget set or theme is used in gnome when the gnome-settings-caemon isn't running? It's the same theme as the gdm screen uses.
[06:26] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: mem not found in the command
[06:26] <Chicory> Why does my sda2 partition seem to think it has 87 gigs of data when i only have maybe 32 in / ?
[06:26] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, well, if you want to mess with really bleeding edge stuff like compiz and beryl its not unusual that you would need to be on the latest and greatest version of ubuntu.
[06:26] <cellofellow> how DO I change the GTK+ theme that GDM uses? And preferably on the config-file level, xubuntu here. (no one in #xubuntu knows how.)
[06:26] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, Im not sure what the best way to find that info in linux is.  Its probably present in your bios though
[06:26] <_`XeOn_> !nvidia
[06:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:27] <cellofellow> PwcrLinux: you could start with lspci in a terminal and then googling the numbers you get.
[06:27] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: ah okay
[06:27] <ajkochanowicz> what is the difference between edgy and dapper?
[06:27] <cafuego_> 0.04
[06:27] <martin80> hehe
[06:27] <cafuego_> ajkochanowicz: Edhy has never software, dapper is a bit more stable.
[06:28] <Flannel> ajkochanowicz: software versions, mostly.  Edgy uses upstart
[06:28] <cafuego_> eh, s/never/newer/
[06:28] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: new init (boot) system in edgy, newest Gnome and Firefox, stuff like that.
[06:28] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, newer packages, different setup.  dapper will have its repositories maintained much longer.  edgy repositories will only be around for about another 12 months I believe
[06:28] <zerodni> hey has anyone ever tried pythoncad ?
[06:28] <shatrat> sometimes I design things on napkins, thats as close as i come
[06:28] <psykidellic> hi....Ubuntu 6.01 nor 6.1 is detecting my 3com network card. The card uses a generic 3c59x driver. I did modprobe and it says to successfuly load those kernel modules but ifconfig nor ifup works...I started my machine with E Live LIVE CD and it detects everything and I can get all the info if I do ifconfig. What can be the problem with ubuntu? Also Can I manually edit some file with info got from E Live system?
[06:29] <z9999> Does anyone know how to determine which audio/video CODECs are installed? and where they are to be found in Ubuntu?
[06:29] <Chicory> Do I need to wipe the whole ext3 partition just to utilize the space because GParted rote so much data to fill the partition?
[06:29] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: I got the line of VGA nbr.. 0000:01:00.0

[06:32] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[06:32] <cafuego_> psykidellic: Does 'ifconfig -a' list an 'eth0' interface?
[06:33] <Volker> it should cafuego
[06:33] <cafuego_> Madpilot: Or perhaps not
[06:33] <psykidellic> in Ubuntu?
[06:33] <psykidellic> no
[06:33] <Volker> you can alternatively use: ifconfig eth0
[06:33] <Volker> it's showing the lo?
[06:33] <psykidellic> Volker, yes
[06:33] <psykidellic> in Ellive....its showing both
[06:33] <psykidellic>  tried with Xnioppix also
[06:33] <Volker> tell it to show the eht0
[06:33] <psykidellic> same effect
[06:33] <Volker> ifconfig eht0
[06:33] <psykidellic> whenever i do ifconfig eth0
[06:34] <psykidellic> it shows no device found or some sort
[06:34] <psykidellic> hold on for 2 minites
[06:34] <psykidellic> i will reboot in ubuntu...i am running elive now
[06:34] <Volker> ok
[06:34] <Madpilot> ubotu, enter | psykidellic
[06:34] <ubotu> psykidellic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:34] <Trixsey> psykidellic, you know whats wrong? :(
[06:34] <jmazaredo> how to get the version number of ubuntu in console
[06:34] <cmdrlanc> zerondi: ctrl alt F2 led to newbie hell
[06:34] <jmazaredo> or what version i have
[06:35] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, you can get back by going to ctrl + alt + f1 can get you back
[06:35] <psykidellic> Madpilot, sorry!
[06:35] <psykidellic> Trixsey, No.
[06:35] <zerodni> we just need to know how the installer setup your mount points in fstab
[06:35] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: nice to know for the future.
[06:35] <zerodni> so at the command line its less /etc/fstab
[06:36] <zerodni> sorry sould have told you that before :p
[06:36] <LordKeiden> how do i go about diagnosing a consistant lockup? if i boot into the recovery mode kernel (2.6.20) the system is stable. if i boot into the regular kernel, it locks after i get to the gdm. it seemd to be time related. if i am fast enough, i can log in, but it locks before the gnome splash apears. it is a hard lock...no ctrl-alt-number terminals, no capslock leds, no hard drive activity. just a hard reset is all i can do. it seem
[06:36] <LordKeiden> s to take 30 seconds to lock from the time the gdm is up.
[06:36] <zyth> LordKeiden, I'd suspect a X driver issue.
[06:37] <zerodni> i had a system that tryed to mount my sata drives as ide drives
[06:37] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[06:37] <zerodni> they should mount as sda or what not b or c
[06:37] <LordKeiden> zyth even though the gdm fully shows, even the animated icon?
[06:37] <zyth> Trixsey, probably starting in the wrong dir
[06:37] <zyth> LordKeiden, quite possibly, yes
[06:37] <zyth> LordKeiden, what card do you have, what driver are you using?
[06:38] <LordKeiden> nvidia 6150, and the driver in the repo.
[06:38] <roler> does anyone know how to change the contrast or brightness via the video card in linux? I'm on a laptop which it's blue contrast/gamma is messed. I can change gamma with xgamma, but also need to tweak a bit of the contrast.
[06:38] <Trixsey> zyth, how do you mean? It works in terminal but not the link
[06:38] <zerodni> dude awsome linux just shown on heroes :p
[06:39] <Trixsey> zyth, I just try to execute the command through the link
[06:39] <Volker> watching Hostage
[06:39] <LordKeiden> zyth, what is the command to change vid drivers. i should be able to change to a vesa driver and be stable if it is the driver, right?
[06:39] <makuseru> hi, when i do an "apt-get update" i get these errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6672/ how can i resolve this
[06:39] <zyth> Trixsey, yes... check the startup script (if matlab is a script) and see if you need to edit it to chdir to your home dir or something.
[06:40] <headphase> hello
[06:40] <zyth> LordKeiden, you can edit your xorg.conf or run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server - and usually vesa drivers work well, but for some reason on my radeon 9600 they hard lock :)  Go figure.
[06:40] <zyth> so ymmv
[06:40] <Trixsey> zyth, matlab is in my homedir ya, and yeah I have a wrapper/script to execute matlab -_-
[06:40] <zyth> Trixsey, make it chdir to the matlab location
[06:40] <kevman> Is anyone else having trouble getting archives out of us.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[06:40] <zyth> the script.. might make a difference
[06:41] <kevman> Becuase I can't install anything on two different computers.
[06:41] <Explosif> hey all, so I got my S-video connection semi working with my mobility 9600, Its just in black and white and is flickering pretty bad, any advice on how to fix this?
[06:41] <LordKeiden> zyth, thanks...and i have found ati cards to be the anit-logic for what should and shouldnt work  =)
[06:41] <headphase> I changed my GdmXserverTimeout to 50, but it still only gives me 10 sec for my xgl to boot up.
[06:41] <tim167> its wobbly indeed :D
[06:41] <headphase> what could be overriding it?
[06:41] <zyth> LordKeiden, np, and yeah, they're weird.  lol
[06:41] <Trixsey> zyth, the file in /usr/bin is empty! :S
[06:42] <kevman> I have Xgl with ATI. Its nice.a
[06:42] <Volker> later evryone
[06:42] <Volker> going to pass out
[06:42] <LordKeiden> zyth but when they work , they are sweet!
[06:42] <zyth> Trixsey, type 'which matlab'
[06:43] <Trixsey> zyth, the file is huge :/
[06:43] <Trixsey> where do I find it?
[06:43] <zyth> Trixsey, 'which matlab' should tell you where it is
[06:43] <zyth> I dunno otherwise.
[06:43] <Trixsey> it did
[06:43] <Trixsey> I am in the file now
[06:43] <Trixsey> I meant the file :P
[06:43] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: ctrl alt F1 does not come back here, and sudo fstab does nothing.
[06:43] <zyth> its a script?
[06:44] <Trixsey> ya
[06:44] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, are you in x
[06:44] <zerodni> that will be ctrl alt f7
[06:44] <zyth> make your own shell script that does cd /home/Trixsey and then runs that matlab script
[06:44] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: X what?
[06:44] <zyth> Trixsey, see if it works
[06:45] <zerodni> its sudo less /etc/fstab
[06:45] <Trixsey> zyth, I dont have to be in my home dir to launch it
[06:45] <Flannel> you don't need to use sudo to less your fstab
[06:45] <zerodni> and if F1 doesnt come back to the installer try F1 -7
[06:45] <Trixsey> its installed
[06:45] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: so c a f2 sudo less /etc/fstab and then c a F7 to come back here?
[06:46] <Flannel> cmdrlanc: except without the sudo, yes.  exactly.
[06:46] <zerodni> yeah i guess you would be in Su at that point
[06:46] <zyth> Trixsey, yes, but it works when you run it from your home dir in terminal and doesnt work from the launcher in X.
[06:46] <Flannel> zerodni, no you wouldn't.  But fstab is readable by normal users, so it doesn't matter.
[06:47] <dewey> good day mates
[06:47] <Deaglebear> whats the best vnc client to use for ubuntu if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:48] <Trixsey> cd /home/trixsey \n matlab &
[06:48] <Trixsey> like that?
[06:48] <zerodni> Flannel, yeah that right on ubuntu i changed my file permits
[06:49] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: ok it worked. "unionfs/unionfs rw 00" (next line) "tmpfs/tmp tmpfs nosuid, nodev 00"
[06:49] <zyth> Trixsey, something like yes.  I am assuming you know how to make a working shells script
[06:49] <nq> ADSL speed become slower and slower, I have to reconnect to bring back speed, then the speed go down AGAIN (ipv6 disabled)
[06:50] <zerodni> hmm cmdrlanc
[06:50] <thorre> greetings
[06:50] <Deaglebear> whats a good vnc client to use if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:51] <thorre> please explain this log message to me: dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[06:51] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, is that the only line
[06:51] <thorre> does it mean that my isp is not giving me a ip at the time this message occures in my log?
[06:51] <cmdrlanc> it's two lines
[06:52] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, ok so its not yet writing your mount points for your hd
[06:52] <Talaman> when you do a gdmsetup, what file does that write to?
[06:52] <Talaman> or what file calls the gdm?
[06:52] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you know how your hard drives are setup in the machine
[06:52] <cmdrlanc> zero: no, that is where the install is stuck
[06:52] <pavs> whats installations does "apt-get autoremove' remove?
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: there is only one
[06:53] <Deaglebear> does anyone know a good vnc client to use if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:53] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, is it set as master
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: the other is external
[06:53] <kevman> Hey guyz, where do I put a command that I want to run every time I boot?
[06:54] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, what mother board are you using if you know and i also recomend not having the external hooked up when you install
[06:55] <psykidellic> cafueg_, trixsey, OKIE. Just booted in Ubuntu. Doing ifup eth0 gives - Ignoring Unknown interface eth0=eth0
[06:55] <pavs> whats installations does "apt-get autoremove' remove?
[06:56] <ardchoille> pavs: auroremove removes packages which are no longer used.
[06:57] <Deaglebear> can someone give me some advice on what vnc is the best if ur going to be accessing it from a windows system
[06:57] <ardchoille> pavs: ie, if you want to remove app1 and it had dep1 and dep2 as deps, autoremove would remove app1, dep1 and dep2.
[06:57] <ardchoille> pavs: As long as dep1 and dep2 aren't used by other apps
[06:57] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, another thing is to run dmesg to see what errors you are getting form c +a + F2
[06:57] <pavs> gotit thanks :)
[06:58] <kevman> Hey, where do I put a command that I want to run every time I boot?
[06:58] <ardchoille> pavs: You must be on Edgy, cuz the apt-get in Dapper didn't have that option.
[06:58] <Wuilliam> Hi yo all, a question: if i have 1 IDE primary master, and a SATA connected in slot 0, for the GRUB which one take the hd0 place, it is for install the grub, who is the first, the sata or IDE
[06:58] <pavs> I am on edgy
[06:58] <pizza> Can someone help me with a bluetooth problem? Recently installed Edgy, trying to make my mouse connect on startup.
[06:59] <icicled> how do i disable the sound that comes up when gdm starts
[06:59] <icicled> w/o blacklisting my sound module :P
[07:00] <shatrat> pizza, I dont know how much help it is, but I had to uninstall some bluetooth related stuff to get my logitech bluetooth mouse and keyboard to work every time at startup without unplugging it and plugging it back in.  I cant remember exactly what though, wireless was so annying I got rid of them.  I remember I go th einfo off ubuntuforums.org somewhere though
[07:00] <Jackz> what is the command for moving folders through the terminal? sudo cp /original/path /new/path  ?
[07:00] <shatrat> Jackz, well, thats for copying.  for moving its "mv"
[07:00] <Gumby> Jackz: add a -R to that
[07:01] <cafuego_> Gumby: -a, just in case.
[07:01] <pizza> shatrat: yeah, there is some bluetooth stuff there already. but I apt-get installed bluez-utils, but the config file i'm supposed to edit, as well as the whole folder, is not in /etc
[07:01] <Trixsey> zyth, I made a .sh file but I can't execute it without sudo *lol*
[07:01] <zyth> Trixsey, sudo chmod +x script.sh
[07:01] <Jackz> What are these -R and -a?
[07:01] <Wuilliam> hi to all, need help, for the GRUB who is hd0, if i have an IDE conected like a primary master and a SATA conected in slot 0??? can some1 help me???
[07:01] <shatrat> pizza, ah, well mine was fixed by uninstalling bluez-utils I believe
[07:02] <shatrat> pizza, either way, wireless is a pain in the neck.  USB for life.
[07:02] <Wuilliam> i need to install ubuntu in sata discj
[07:02] <pizza> how do i uninstall things in linux? completely new :(.
[07:02] <pizza> shatrat: well in windows it works fine
