[04:34] <racestoapril1> iis there a version of automatix for 5.04?
[04:34] <skippy81> ok ydnar, you just need to go through the restricted formats steps to get the codecs - then you can install any media players you want through synaptic
[04:34] <skippy81> ubotu, tell ydnar about restricted formats
[04:34] <mardi> IcemanV9: , it's a HP DV5119nr, the touchpad works fine, i start up Wifi-Radar or Network Manager, and the mouse becomes un-usable, jumping all over
[04:34] <allobjects> Cane anybody help me join two existing partions into one ?
[04:34] <LDS_Jedi> allobjects, That is an empty file.
[04:34] <DShepherd> Alethes: sorry.. i meant AlienX
[04:35] <DShepherd> AlienX: libk3b2-mp3 <-- that's the package you wanted
[04:35] <AlwaysIcey> ubotu tell Tribe about restricted formats
[04:35] <AlienX> DShepherd, thanks :)
[04:35] <allobjects> LDS_Jedi, 2 secs, checking the path I gave you
[04:35] <DShepherd> AlienX: you need to have universe though :-). your welcome
[04:35] <problems> LDS_Jedi: make that apt instead of abt
[04:35] <nf4> getting dvds to play is easier than changeing the mouse icos
[04:35] <ydnar> skippy, when you install something thru synaptic, how do you add that program to the apps menu?
[04:35] <nf4> icons
[04:35] <IcemanV9> mardi: interesting. hope there will be fix or workaround for it. it's okay on mine.
[04:35] <AlienX> DShepherd, yeah, you should see my sources list, i think i have about 20 of them in there ;)
[04:36] <LDS_Jedi> allobjects, ok I am there..
[04:36] <ydnar> or how do you edit your apps menu in general
[04:36] <LDS_Jedi> you said to comment something out?
[04:36] <gumpish> nf4: how DO you change the mouse cursor anyway?
[04:36] <SurfnKid_> help with compiz all ya mates :)
[04:36] <rukuartic> A question really quick, I want to give someone permission to reboot the computer in the /etc/sudoers file. What would be the line to add? I have "<username> ALL=/sbin/reboot" but I'm worried about security issues
[04:36] <ydnar> btw, thanks for your help
[04:36] <DShepherd> AlienX: oh.. ok. well if you want it that way. go ahead
[04:36] <nf4> you have to install gcursor
[04:36] <allobjects> LDS_Jedi, good, to comment the extra ones just prefix with #
[04:36] <nf4> and use that
[04:36] <greg> looking for some help. I have my zd1211 usb dongle working. The problem is when I restart I have to modprobe and ifconfig up again to get it running. any suggestions to keep this active when I restart?
[04:36] <nf4> gcursor will only do gtz files
[04:36] <skippy81> ydnar, most programs will appear on the menu 'naturally'. however there is a program called alacarte menu editor which lets you edit menus yourself - the easiest way of launching the editor is with a right click on your top gnome bar
[04:36] <nf4> not those b2z ones
[04:37] <rukuartic> greg: Can't remember off the bat, but if you look at the ndiswrapper thing it tells you how to do that
[04:37] <gumpish> =/ is it easy to build those?
[04:37] <AlienX> DShepherd, what do you mean? I just wasn't sure which ubuntu specific package needed to be installed :)
[04:37] <richard_> search google
[04:37] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  not working.....  it gave me a big ole help text file..
[04:37] <allobjects> LDS_Jedi, I ran into the same prob yesterday when I started my upgrades...someone here helped :-)
[04:37] <CaBlGuY> :/
[04:37] <greg> ok but does it matter if I did not use ndiswrapper?
[04:37] <skippy81> ydnar, if your using breezy, you may have to find the menu editor in the menus - it will definately be there though
[04:37] <rukuartic> greg: nope, doesn't matter. They have the command that you need :P
[04:37] <DShepherd> AlienX: i just messing with you:-) ..never mind me
[04:37] <Schalken> how can i tell whether the computer is using software or hardware rendering?
[04:37] <greg> ok thanks
[04:37] <ydnar> thanks again skippy
[04:37] <freddy> sudo apt-get install amarok
[04:37] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ok.. let me check the syntax and let you know
[04:37] <freddy> err
[04:38] <skippy81> Schalken, do you mean graphics acceleration?
[04:38] <skippy81> np ydnar :)
[04:38] <allobjects> JDS_Jedi, while you are there, any ref to breezy should also be changed dapper
[04:38] <CaBlGuY> ok han gon a sec..
[04:38] <Schalken> well, it is onboard video
[04:38] <Schalken> skippy81,
[04:38] <AlienX> DShepherd, hehe. I'm used to running deb where there is mp3 support by default, ubuntu just threw me a curve ball without mp3 support ;)
[04:38] <richard_> i use totem but i think there was an error message
[04:38] <Tribe> Thanks Icey
[04:38] <LDS_Jedi> thanks!
[04:38] <AlwaysIcey> No worries Tribe.
[04:38] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: its good to check the man pages too :-)
[04:38] <skippy81> Schalken, what sort of video card do you have?
[04:38] <Schalken> skippy81: but i want to make sure it is supporting and using as much hardware as it can
[04:38] <rukuartic> I'm looking for some help with adding reboot privelages to the sudoers file... can anyone help
[04:39] <_Rich> Hi - Anyone else have an issue with an Nvidia card running x86_64? I was able to get throught the first few screens of dapper, then i just got some random junk on the screen. Any help is appreciated.
[04:39] <zexr0> AlienX, the reason is that mp3 is not a free format
[04:39] <Schalken> skippy81: the motherboards onboard video is a SiS 661FX
[04:39] <zexr0> that's why Ubuntu does not include it
[04:39] <skippy81> Schalken, hehe i have the same graphics onboard
[04:39] <AlienX> zexr0, i know the reasons, same thing with fedora, etc. Just not used to it, that's all
[04:39] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, here ya go..  just to take a look at..
[04:39] <CaBlGuY> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15056
[04:39] <carthik> [4911959.150000]  VFS: busy inodes on changed media.
[04:39] <Schalken> skippy81: do you have it working well?
[04:40] <skippy81> Schalken, ok all you need to do to get the best performance out of that card is to make sure the driver is in xorg.conf
[04:40] <Schalken> skippy81: (with opengl and all)
[04:40] <richard_> said failed to find mount point
[04:40] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  it's been a WHILE since I had to mount anything soooo...  I'm still Newb material..  :p
[04:40] <Schalken> skippy81: okay, how do i get to that?
[04:40] <skippy81> Schalken,  the card worked ok, but i found it useless for composite effects, however for basic media playback etc it does fine
[04:40] <carthik> Can someone help me fix the scores of "[4911959.150000]  VFS: busy inodes on changed media." messages that appear in dmesg - now I can't mount any cds in the cdrom drive. Can I fix this without rebooting?
[04:40] <skippy81> ok Schalken, open a terminal - type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:41] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ok
[04:41] <AlwaysIcey> _Rich: Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:41] <richard_> how do i mount my dvd to play them
[04:41] <rukuartic> carthik: try "sudo /etc/init.d/hotplug restart"
[04:41] <nf4> when you install the decss program
[04:41] <nf4> it will tell you that you need three things installed for that script to work
[04:41] <skippy81> then Schalken, i want you to browse to http://pastebin.com/ and copy and paste your xorg.conf file into it, and give me the link - i will check if you have the "sis" driver loaded correctly
[04:41] <_Rich> Thanks AlwaysIcey - I'll check that out.
[04:41] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: mount -t type device dir <-- thats the format.. what to show me what exactly you typed
[04:41] <IcemanV9> how do i display 'top' as background without windows borders??
[04:42] <nf4> fakeroot and two others
[04:42] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: what = want
[04:42] <AlwaysIcey> Hope it helps you.  My computer is so old, that it's neither an ATI or Nvidia video card.
[04:42] <nf4> my dvd drive is hda just point to what ever the disk is
[04:42] <nf4> you shouldnt have to mount any thing
[04:42] <SurfnKid_> skippy81: hey im workingg on getting the compiz going, second method, how do i import the key to the repositories
[04:42] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  here look at this..
[04:42] <CaBlGuY> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15055
[04:43] <CaBlGuY> that will tell you whats up..  ;)
[04:43] <zexr0> !ubuntucd
[04:43] <ubotu> parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, zexr0
[04:43] <Schalken> skippy81: it says "Driver "sis"", which im guessing is a good thing? and it also says SiS 661FX which is what i entered when i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[04:43] <_Rich> Actually, I just looked at that. Problem is, I can't get far enough into the the installation process to actually install anything. I'm using Suse 10.1 which is giving me lots of aggrivation, so I thought perhaps Ubuntu would be more stable.
[04:43] <CaBlGuY> and DShepherd, this is what I typed....   sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/device/computer/hda1
[04:43] <skippy81> SurfnKid, you will have to link the guide, but i wouldnt have thought the key is essentail anyway
[04:43] <greg> Ok going for a restart I will let you know how it goes. Later all
[04:44] <Hajuu> How do I find out my kernel version?
[04:44] <spikeb> Hajuu, uname -r
[04:44] <Schalken> skippy81: is there a glx/opengl test i can do?
[04:44] <Mewshi> it's mounting my sd card as read-only.  How do i make it read-write?
[04:44] <skippy81> Schalken,  open a terminal and type "glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark" :)
[04:45] <farous> skippy81: easier glxgears -printfps
[04:45] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: device should be actually.. the name of the device..
[04:45] <skippy81> farous, lol i wish i knew taht before i typed that out :)
[04:45] <zexr0> !dvd
[04:45] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[04:45] <zexr0> !mp3
[04:45] <ubotu> somebody said mp3 was a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:45] <freddy> ok what problems does you guys have with the upgrade to dapper?
[04:45] <Hajuu> How can I update JUST my kernel to breezy, not my entire install?
[04:45] <carthik> rukuartic: there is no /etc/init.d/hotplug
[04:45] <freddy> to see if i have the same problems.
[04:45] <farous> skippy81: i done it the old way too many times too :)
[04:45] <skippy81> hehe
[04:45] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: like /dev/hda1 or something like that. do you know the name of the device your trying to mount
[04:46] <rukuartic> carthik: just a guess
[04:46] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  and it is..  hda1 is the name of it on computer
[04:46] <Mewshi> it's mounting my sd card as read-only.  How do i make it read-write?
[04:46] <SurfnKid> skippy81: the following signatures couldnt be verified because there is no pubblic key.  This is after the sudo apt-get update
[04:46] <rukuartic> still looking for some help here with my sudoers file, wanting to add someone and give them the abiltiy to use /sbin/reboot
[04:46] <rukuartic> Mewshi: is it formatted ntfs?
[04:46] <skippy81> SurfnKid, i think you can just ignore that - it shouldnt matter
[04:46] <wmadden> hey guys, whenever i try to log in it takes me to the black screen, whenever i type startx, it tells me waiting for X server to shut down reeFontPath:  FPE /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc  refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing
[04:46] <spikeb> if it is, somebody slap whoever formatted it that.
[04:46] <Mewshi> rukuartic: how do i find out?
[04:47] <skippy81> Schalken, whats your FPS then?
[04:47] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: and  where are you trying to mount the /dev/hda1? the directory i mean
[04:47] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: sudo visudo
[04:47] <detectiveinspekt> Hi, sudo and gksudo does nothing, I can't do anything
[04:47] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  in computer
[04:47] <Hajuu> How can I update JUST my kernel to breezy, not my entire install?
[04:47] <SurfnKid> skippy81: ok
[04:47] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  or will that not work..
[04:47] <skippy81> SurfnKid, I think i had that same warning message when i installed xgl and compiz the first time - i think the guy maintaining the packages has just been a bit lazy :)
[04:47] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: hmm.. i see your a newbie at heart :-)
[04:48] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  U have NO idea....  ;)
[04:48] <_kadaj_3> hihi
[04:48] <Mewshi> rukuartic: how do i find out what fs it is?
[04:48] <_kadaj_3> i want to ask a question
[04:48] <nf4> they wouldnt let me into defcon becouse I was useing ubuntu
[04:48] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: Yeah, but I don't know the syntax. I just have "hladmin ALL=/sbin/reboot" do i have to worry about securit holes?
[04:48] <nf4> they laughed
[04:48] <Schalken> skippy81: the gears turn smoothly for a second and then stop, turn slightly, stop for a second, turn slightly, stop et cetera. the gears wont run smoothly.
[04:48] <SurfnKid> skippy81: so the part that says download the key. thats out !
[04:48] <AlwaysIcey> Go for it _kadaj_3.
[04:48] <rukuartic> Mewshi: eh... try right clicking the drive and hitting properties
[04:48] <_kadaj_3> can i create login password in one account
[04:48] <skippy81> SurfnKid, yeah i think you can ignore it
[04:49] <SurfnKid> skippy81: import the gpg i think
[04:49] <SurfnKid> ok
[04:49] <_kadaj_3> yah
[04:49] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ok.. i going to send you to the help.ubuntu.com site. should be very useful there... :-)
[04:49] <_kadaj_3> i downloading ubuntu
[04:49] <Hamppari> cold beer
[04:49] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/partitions-booting.html <-- just read.. that's all you need to do
[04:49] <Hamppari> tastes nice :)
[04:49] <paul_> What are some good printers that work with ubuntu? I found out the hard way my lexmark all in one printer is not supported nor does lexmark have a driver for it either.
[04:49] <dougsko> hi guys
[04:49] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: i don't remember how to set it up for specific user .. man visudo usually helps me .. let me if i could find it
[04:49] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  Oh man...   :/   I had to end up having someone walk me through it..
[04:49] <_kadaj_3> how the latest ubuntu
[04:49] <skippy81> Schalken, i would expect them to be quite poor, the SIS card is internal and shares its memory bus with the CPU i believe
[04:49] <Hamppari> paul_ lexmark products suck.. try HP :)
[04:49] <AlwaysIcey> Try HP's Paul.  They seem to have linux drivers.
[04:49] <detectiveinspekt> gksudo doesn't work why?
[04:50] <Schalken> paul_: i am also in that situation. my lexmark mfc has to be hooked up to the windows computer.
[04:50] <Hamppari> I have 4 devices from HP including Laptop, and no problems :)
[04:50] <AlwaysIcey> I'm not sure _kadaj.  I'm still installing it..  But, if you do install it, just create your user account with a password (prompted during installation).
[04:50] <skippy81> Schalken,  as long as you have SIS as the driver, and xorg is running OK i dont think theres much more you can do
[04:50] <mardi> anyone know why the synaptics touchpad on my new HP laptop goes nuts when the wifi is used?
[04:50] <_kadaj_3> ok
[04:50] <Schalken> skippy81: alright, thanks for your help!
[04:50] <skippy81> np mate
[04:51] <Hamppari> Don't use Lexmark people
[04:51] <paul_> screw windows xp. I hated that os so much. Took forever to load and when it did you had to fight off the spyware.
[04:51] <spikeb> dont use Lexmart printers either.
[04:51] <SurfnKid> skippy81: I think its downloading stuff..  the mesa driver. is that part of it
[04:51] <AlwaysIcey> You'll use sudo for most things _kadaj_3.  To use sudo, you'll be prompted for a password.  Just use the same one you logged in with.
[04:51] <skippy81> SurfnKid, yeah libmesa is used by XGL
[04:51] <Jarrod06> right now im on os x, it has all the security ubuntu did but much flashier
[04:51] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: you running Dapper right? if you go to System- Help-System Documentation, Click Ubuntu Destktop Guide and  type ntfs in the search field. The first like should be the same thing your visiting a help.ubuntu.com.
[04:51] <wmadden> can someobody help me with my X?
[04:52] <spikeb> osx has several very old holes in it.
[04:52] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: just to make you know that help is always very close by ;-)
[04:52] <_kadaj_3> how fast ubuntu open
[04:52] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: wow. man visudo doesn't give me enough info. ha. sorry. looks like user speification is the one to put the userid and command
[04:52] <_kadaj_3> how many second
[04:52] <AlwaysIcey> Well, Paul, I can tell you that Vista is a little better (as far as spyware goes).  But, their security configuration leaves a lot to be desired.
[04:52] <DShepherd> _kadaj_3: it depends on your system.
[04:52] <ylon> I need to install a 2.4 kernel on the 6.06 in order to load an older module not available for the 2.6 kernel series
[04:52] <AlwaysIcey> _kadaj_3.  That depends on a few things.  I've got an old computer, so it's slow.
[04:52] <ylon> How would I go about this properly?
[04:52] <SurfnKid> skippy81: then im doin ok.. ill just keep going
[04:52] <skippy81> I tried Gentoo today - i have in after the third hour of wathing it compile xorg :)
[04:53] <skippy81> gave in*
[04:53] <ylon> I don't want to just go grab the sources like I'd do on another distro and bork things
[04:53] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, the disk is "enabled" BUT, It's sayin I don't have "permisions" to access it.. :/
[04:53] <Mewshi> No clue
[04:53] <CaBlGuY> Grrrrrr
[04:53] <Mewshi> i think it's fat16, though
[04:53] <skippy81> ylon, there must be a better way - what hardware is it
[04:54] <ylon> skippy81:  the problem is that I need to read old netware drives with the nwfs driver from novell
[04:54] <ylon> skippy81: and they only appear to have 2.4 modules:
[04:54] <Jarrod06> spikeb: what old holes?
[04:54] <ylon> http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?nwfs-lw
[04:54] <minerale> Hi, I just installed dapper, could someone point me to instructions on how to install xgl and compwiz ?
[04:54] <_kadaj_3> haha
[04:55] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: oh. you have the umask command right?
[04:55] <_kadaj_3> i just have pntium three
[04:55] <ylon> skippy81: if you could look that over and tell me if there is a better way that would be super!
[04:55] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  whats that???
[04:55] <skippy81> ylon, what is the name of the 2.4 driver? is it nwfs.ko?
[04:55] <mardi> is uninstalling ubuntu-desktop a bad thing?
[04:55] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: i did that website thing
[04:55] <dougsko> minerale, loko for the packages in synaptic
[04:55] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: did you read the page that i sent you to? and followed the instructions?
[04:55] <skippy81> if you can find the name of the 2.4 driver i will have a go ylon :) im good on google :)
[04:55] <spikeb> i dont feel like looking them up
[04:55] <ylon> skippy81: well, I don't see any ko's there, except perhaps the 2.5.1-pre1 bz2 you can see there...
[04:56] <skippy81> ylon, can you link me the location of the 2.4 drivers?
[04:56] <skippy81> i will download em and take a look
[04:56] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  yes, and I went to the disk gui thingy and the disk is "enabled"...  but I don't have permisions for some reason..
[04:56] <ylon> skippy81: yeah, that is the page that I listed above
[04:56] <ben_underscore> hi all
[04:56] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: you here?
[04:56] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: hehe
[04:56] <ben_underscore> i just upgraded from breezy --> dapper and the install borked at the end and didn't cleanup
[04:56] <ylon> skippy81: the only other helpful page I've found after hours of digging is: http://www.dicas-l.com.br/dicas-l/20031201.php
[04:57] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: man sudoeres helps a bit, but not enough
[04:57] <ben_underscore> how can i manually do the cleanup?
[04:57] <dougsko> CaBlGuY, do a sudo, and ass a super user, you should be able to do anything
[04:57] <ojai> so what is the "better" one to use, amavis-ng or amavisd-new?
[04:57] <rukuartic> How would I add someone to my sudoers file so they can use the reboot command?
[04:57] <ryanmooney> any one have any ppc experience
[04:57] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: userid ALL= /sbin/reboot
[04:57] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: can you paste what cat /etc/fstab puts out
[04:57] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: thats what I put, I'm just worried about security vulnerabilities
[04:57] <CaBlGuY> dougsko:  ummm tryin to make my slave drive acceable at all times thanks,..
[04:57] <ryanmooney> like to get airport (not extreme) working
[04:57] <[CC] Impsy> IcemanV9: can you help me with my sound?
[04:57] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  hang on
[04:58] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: hangin
[04:58] <Jarrod06> !os x
[04:58] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Jarrod06
[04:58] <AlwaysIcey> I'm here [CC] Impsy
[04:58] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: found it an example via google
[04:58] <dougsko> CaBlGuY,  maybe a chmod would help?
[04:58] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: ok well i did that website you gave me
[04:58] <AlwaysIcey> I haven't been able to find anything, other then the link I gave you earlier.. Sorry about that
[04:58] <AlwaysIcey> How did it work out?
[04:58] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: i have no idea bout security part, but i think it should be fine.
[04:58] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: is realtek audio?
[04:58] <ryanmooney> peace
[04:58] <[CC] Impsy> is realtek audio?
[04:58] <paul_> I have another question please. If the install of breezy was a breeze more or less with exception of all you have to do to get mp3, dvd, etc to work just how easy would it be to upgrade to dapper? Just curious.
[04:58] <AlwaysIcey> Ok.
[04:59] <[CC] Impsy> 10ec8029 Yes Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)

[04:59] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: realtek nics are also common
[04:59] <[CC] Impsy> the rest is all Intel and then one ATI
[04:59] <CaBlGuY> ok DShepherd   here ya be..  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15058
[04:59] <Hajuu> How do I find out  what type of cpu architecture im running for installing a new kernel from apt-get ?
[04:59] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: did you see that on the page -- "The changes will take effect when the computer is restarted."? :-D
[04:59] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: what's the realtek line? you can paste it here
[04:59] <rukuartic> Hajuu: less /proc/cpu
[04:59] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  done tried thayt a couple times.. :p
[04:59] <amphi> Hajuu: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:59] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: it just allows userid to use a specific file which is /sbin/reboot and nothing else
[05:00] <rukuartic> Hajuu: sorry, amphi has it
[05:00] <[CC] Impsy> 10ec8029 Yes Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) ne2k-pci
[05:00] <[CC] Impsy> thats the line
[05:00] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: Ok thanks... thats what I have. Just looking to make sure they can't "rm -rf /"
[05:00] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: I dont see the ntfs partition your trying to mount.  and your ext3 partition seems to be mounted readonly.. cause it has errors
[05:00] <TigerWolf> Anyone got flash to install properly? -  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree doesnt work
[05:00] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: looks like a NIC
[05:00] <IcemanV9> rukuartic:  oh that command. ha. it won't work for userid :)
[05:01] <dougsko> paul_, its as simple as sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after changing all references from breezy to dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:01] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: are you sure that /dev/hda1 is your ntfs partitiion?
[05:01] <[CC] Impsy> whats that amphi
[05:01] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: ?
[05:01] <TypeR> i got a question. Why is the cd i get boot up like a live and not the install?
[05:01] <greg> Ok the zd1211 is working great thanks for the help
[05:01] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  yes, IM sure cause it's the ONLY other drive I have in my box..
[05:01] <TigerWolf> TypeR: It a live install
[05:01] <dougsko> TypeR, there an option to install from the live cd
[05:01] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: rm -rf / won't work for that userid is what i meant
[05:01] <TypeR> oh okay sorry
[05:01] <wmadden> what does it mean with i get an x error at startup that says refocount is 2, should be 1; fixing?  It's in /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
[05:01] <skippy81> ylon, i have a theory
[05:02] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd: plus thwe size is correct....
[05:02] <scottt106> I ran into some trouble upgrading from Breezy to Dapper.  After following the posted instructions, and then rebooting, I got an error that said X couldn't start, and I booted from the console.  From there I tried installing the ubuntu-desktop package, and once again upgrading to Dapper.  Now after restarting, I get errors saying "Segmentation Fault" repeatedly, and then that hda1 couldn't be found.  Now I'm stuck in a limited shell,
[05:02] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: around to your fstab.. hda1 is ext3 not ntfs
[05:02] <wmadden> sorry refcount, not refocount
[05:02] <ylon> skippy81: I'm all ears, I'm about ready to loose my mind
[05:02] <Hajuu> whats smp again?
[05:02] <mardi> anyone know why the synaptics touchpad on my new HP laptop goes nuts when the wifi is used?
[05:02] <TigerWolf> Anyone got flash to install properly? -  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree doesnt work
[05:02] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: unless that userid gain root access :D
[05:02] <rukuartic> IcemanV9: If I added a new users "adduser blah" and they ran that command, what would happen? what say, /home/myusername/myfile is chmod 777?
[05:02] <[CC] Impsy> amphi: whats an NIC?
[05:02] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  yur talkin greek to my buddie..  :p
[05:02] <TypeR> i just thought it was a live and i was like :| but now thats good
[05:02] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: paste what sudo fdisk -l puts out
[05:02] <greg> for those wanting to install 6.0.6 I used the alternate install the text version and all went great. I had numerous problems with the live cd
[05:02] <skippy81> i think it is a distinct possibility that NWFS support does exist, but has to be enabled in the 2.6 kernel (ie it doesnt run as a module)
[05:02] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: srry
[05:02] <AlwaysIcey> NIC is Network Interface Card
[05:02] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: paste what sudo fdisk -l puts out <-- do that
[05:02] <TigerWolf> mardi: Apparently there are problems with the wireless drivers
[05:02] <[CC] Impsy> so is that sound
[05:02] <[CC] Impsy> or am i on the wrong think
[05:02] <[CC] Impsy> *thing
[05:02] <[CC] Impsy> im looking for sound :P
[05:03] <Schalken> !restricted formats
[05:03] <ubotu> well, restricted formats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or '!codecs'
[05:03] <mardi> TigerWolf: i'm using the bcm43xx module
[05:03] <skippy81> to test this i am going to boot into gentoo now, and check out my kernel source. i will be back in 5 minutes to give you an answer ylon
[05:03] <AlwaysIcey> That's your ethernet card more then likely.
[05:03] <[CC] Impsy> oh ok.
[05:03] <mlalkaka> i've read here and there that ubuntu has a monthly wallpaper that gets updated automatically. how do i use that?
[05:03] <nf4> i used the live cd and it was smooth
[05:03] <[CC] Impsy> would it be a PNP device?
[05:03] <AlwaysIcey> What was the Real Audio one you mentioned earlier? Or was that the NIC?
[05:03] <ylon> skippy81: thanks much
[05:03] <nf4> useing the amd64 version
[05:03] <[CC] Impsy> realtek
[05:03] <[CC] Impsy> i thought i have a soundblaster card
[05:03] <AlwaysIcey> It may be an ISA/PNP device.
[05:03] <TigerWolf> marti : Thats what ive heard - I dont knoe any details or how to help you - sorry
[05:03] <DShepherd> mlalkaka: search for calendar..
[05:03] <nf4> but i went back to 5.10

[05:03] <Celeste> hi
[05:03] <skippy81> ylon, ill be back in 5 - 10 min
[05:03] <IcemanV9> rukuartic: it will be restricted to that userid only
[05:03] <mardi> TigerWolf: thanks for the info
[05:03] <nf4> and am trying the update through the net
[05:04] <scottt106> I had some trouble upgrading from Breezy to Dapper, can somebody help me troubleshoot?
[05:04] <nf4> it will be done in a hr
[05:04] <AlwaysIcey> What kind of computer are you installing it on [CC] ?
[05:04] <DShepherd> mlalkaka: i think its called ubuntu-calendar. something like that. I can check if you like
[05:04] <CaBlGuY> ok DShepherd here we go...  :p     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15059
[05:04] <Celeste> is there a good offline reader for webpages which loads down every link too?  (2 instances deep)
[05:04] <[CC] Impsy> waht do you mean?
[05:04] <[CC] Impsy> what kind of specs?
[05:04] <AlwaysIcey> What brand and model number?
[05:04] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: sorry, I was moving upstairs - a network card
[05:04] <[CC] Impsy> ah lol where would i find that lol alwaysicey
[05:04] <[CC] Impsy> and i believe its : Sound Blaster AWE32 Plug and Play
[05:05] <TigerWolf> Anyone got flash to install properly? -  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree doesnt work properly
[05:05] <mlalkaka> DShepherd: your're right: ubuntu-calendar is the package
[05:05] <[CC] Impsy> i think thats it
[05:05] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ah. your ntfs partition (windows drive) is /dev/hdb1 and not /dev/hda1
[05:05] <nf4> i used that glflah
[05:05] <nf4> or what ever
[05:05] <nf4> it works
[05:05] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, so I put the woring thing in the command..
[05:05] <nf4> but is kinda old
[05:05] <AlwaysIcey> The model of the computer?  Would be on the nameplate on the back of it.  Common brands are HP, Dell, Compaq, IBM.
[05:05] <nf4> and not 64bit
[05:05] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: right. you think you can do this now?
[05:05] <squorrox> Hello all. The md5sum.txt on the Dapper CD contains only a partial list of the files on the CD. How do I validate all the others?
[05:06] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I dunno.  lemme see if I still got the command around here somewhere..
[05:06] <nf4> oh i mean swf
[05:06] <buzzed> what is a good dvd ripping app?
[05:06] <MrObvious> !tell MrObvious about nvidia
[05:06] <stringbling> hey, i got a question for anyone can help me...i want to disable gdm, how do i do that?
[05:06] <nf4> there are only two
[05:06] <nf4> acid rip
[05:06] <nf4> and dvd::rip

[05:06] <scottt106> When booting I get an error message "Segmentation Fault" and then another that says hda1 cannot be found, can anyone help?
[05:06] <nf4> plus some comand line versions
[05:07] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: remember the page that I sent you.http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/partitions-booting.html just replace /dev/hda1 with /dev/hdb1 and you should be in business
[05:07] <stringbling> slavik, cuz i want all my resources
[05:07] <slavik> nf4: which one of those will just copy the DVD files?
[05:07] <nf4> DVD:Rip is the best if you can figure out how to make it work
[05:07] <Sarmis|Laptop> anyone here able to help me with some really silly newbie questions?
[05:07] <AlwaysIcey> We can try Sarmis
[05:07] <nf4> dvd:rip is probly what you want
[05:07] <slavik> stringbling: gdm takes not evem 5MB of memory
[05:07] <nf4> it has problems with 5.10 and amd64
[05:07] <Sarmis|Laptop> I'm trying to install ubuntu on my desktop
[05:07] <Jarrod06> !dvd ripping
[05:07] <ubotu> Jarrod06: I give up.  I will be waiting on u.. :-).. you have friends here
[05:09] <slavik> Sarmis|Laptop: if you already installed ubuntu, follow the ati binary driver wiki page
[05:09] <dougsko> freddy, how are you doing that?
[05:09] <dsquared> looking 4 help with firefox installation on dapper
[05:09] <DShepherd> AlienX: you need a hobby :-D
[05:09] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, restatring..
[05:09] <CaBlGuY> brb
[05:09] <CaBlGuY> :p
[05:09] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: is pentium one?
[05:09] <slavik> dsquared: dapper comes with 1.5
[05:09] <freddy> dougsko: gtkpod
[05:09] <Sarmis|Laptop> I can't install since the graphical installer is too big for 640x480, running it off the live cd
[05:09] <Boelcke> Help! I have a second HD, which currently contains 2 NTFS partitions. I can't mount them! I can't even see them.  Argh...
[05:09] <AlienX> DShepherd, hell, i run a company :)
[05:09] <verve> anyone have the source or a binary for the scanModem utility? some guy i know's trying to get his winmodem to work
[05:09] <verve> and the sites with scanModem don't work
[05:09] <slavik> Sarmis|Laptop: does it refuse to run?
[05:09] <DShepherd> AlienX: ah.. now your not so crazy.. :-)
[05:09] <dsquared> kubuntu doesn't....
[05:09] <dougsko> freddy, just mount your ipod as a harddrive, and cp the files
[05:09] <Jarrod06> !gtkpod
[05:09] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Jarrod06
[05:09] <slavik> dsquared: are you sure?
[05:09] <Jarrod06> !aac
[05:09] <ubotu> aac is probably read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information about aac support
[05:09] <AlwaysIcey> Um, not a common brand CC.  Did you buy the computer new or used?
[05:10] <slavik> !ff
[05:10] <ubotu> slavik: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:10] <dsquared> thats right
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> it was my dads, i have no idea. im 15.
[05:10] <slavik> !firefox
[05:10] <Sarmis|Laptop> oh, I'm in the live cd, the resolution is just to small to see the buttons on the install program
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> its intel pentium 2
[05:10] <wastrel> ubuntu
[05:10] <rukuartic> I'm assuming that a cronjob requires the user to be logged in for it to run?
[05:10] <Sarmis|Laptop> which seems to me to be an odd situation :P
[05:10] <rukuartic> Sarmis|Laptop: System>Preferences>Change Resolution
[05:10] <greg> is there a linux alternative to netstumbler?
[05:10] <wastrel> rukuartic:  nope
[05:10] <Mulder> pentium ii :S
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> and it starts up and has American Megatrends
[05:10] <Hajuu> Do I need to do anything special to upgrade to the breezy kernel? I mean I should just be able to apt-get it over my hoary one, no?
[05:10] <Jarrod06> !firefox
[05:10] <slavik> !firefox1.5
[05:10] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[05:10] <AlienX> DShepherd, heh, it's what happens when you have been running sid for a while and decide to use this crazy ubuntu stuff ;)
[05:10] <Sarmis|Laptop> It only lets me chose the 640x480
[05:10] <AlwaysIcey> ok, on the back of it, there should be a nameplate that will say Model no. and S/N.
[05:10] <slavik> Hajuu: yes ... I think
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> k
[05:10] <Mulder> why si the ubuntu build of firefox/thudnerbird slower than the standardised build from mozilla?
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> ill check
[05:10] <DShepherd> AlienX: hehhe
[05:10] <dougsko> rukuartic, nope! they dont have to be logged in
[05:10] <[CC] Impsy> want me to write it down icey?
[05:10] <rukuartic> dougsko: thats cool
[05:11] <AlwaysIcey> I can't diss a PII.  That's what I"m installing ubuntu on right now.
[05:11] <slavik> Mulder: slower in start up or in getting pages?
[05:11] <DShepherd> Mulder: i dont know... is it very slow?
[05:11] <dsquared> will try that
[05:11] <stringbling> slavik, i've only got 128 megs of ram to work with here. and for some reason right now i have two instances of gdm runnin and each is taking just over ten megs...also, i want to run themes in fvwm and its not allowin that...also, i just like to try new things and see what i can and cant do with linux...so back to my question, how do i get rid of gdm?
[05:11] <[CC] Impsy> should i write the stuff down?
[05:11] <AlwaysIcey> Just the brand name and model number.
[05:11] <masho> any ideas as to how I can make all the files under /var/www on my local machine readable by apache... am creating a default site and the style sheet I saved has permuission denied ;-(
[05:11] <freddy> dougsko: it is not that easy, ipod changes the name nomenclature when you store a song in it...so if the name of the song is for example "i miss you" if you look for it in the ipod as a harddrive..youll find something like MKRTD
[05:11] <wastrel> dapper broke palm pilot sync - anyone else having trouble?
[05:11] <slavik> stringbling: my 2 gdms are 2.4MB and 1.7MB
[05:11] <greg> is there a linux alternative to netstumbler?
[05:11] <Mulder> dshepherd, slavik, slow in runtime. it feels slightly lagged.
[05:12] <slavik> Mulder: no offense, but I don't notice it ... follow the guide on !firefox1.5
[05:12] <MOSMarauder> someone here ? got a serious problem
[05:12] <stringbling> good for you slavik, are you just going to defend gdm or do you just not know how?
[05:12] <Mulder> !firefox1.5
[05:12] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[05:12] <DShepherd> Mulder: hmm.. well I think it runs better on windows too. You can try epiphany browser
[05:12] <slavik> stringbling: you should be able to just remove the gdm package, but ubuntu-desktop depends on it
[05:12] <AlwaysIcey> What's up MOS?  someone should be able to help you.
[05:12] <MOSMarauder> i hope ;)
[05:12] <stringbling> slavik, thats what i'was afraid of
[05:12] <Mr_Smith> When I go to update manager it says an upgrade is available, but doesn't give me the option to upgrade what should I do?
[05:12] <slavik> MOSMarauder: next time, just ask the question
[05:12] <dougsko> freddy, huh, well, im not too sure. i dont have an ipod, but with my mp3 player, i just mount the device on /dev/sde and then i can move music files from here to there  with no problem
[05:13] <MOSMarauder> problem is: i installed Nvidia-glx ...driver so far works fine (dapper)...
[05:13] <rukuartic> MOSMarauder: Doesn't sound like a problem :P
[05:13] <slavik> stringbling: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it doesn't actually install anything ... it is there to be dependant on stuff
[05:13] <Mulder> DShepherd, yeah well, a friend of mine switched to the binary mozilla distributed and it was apparently the lag disappeared
[05:13] <stringbling> so, ubuntu cant just log into command line and startx old fashioned like?
[05:13] <MOSMarauder> BUT if i end x server in any way the whole system crashes and freezes
[05:13] <dougsko> freddy, maybe a small perl script to change the song names?
[05:13] <AlwaysIcey> unless he has an ATI card. ;)
[05:13] <DShepherd> Mulder: interesting
[05:13] <MOSMarauder> same thing also with Nvidia.com driver..
[05:13] <wastrel> i have an ati card
[05:13] <Mulder> DShepherd, woops lol excuse that sentence, the end was a bit broke
[05:13] <wastrel> stringbling:  you can, just remove your display manager
[05:13] <slavik> MOSMarauder: might be a driver bug ... ati driver had a bug about system freezing when switching from X to other virtual console
[05:13] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ummmm  no go buddie.. :/
[05:14] <freddy> dougsko: that's what gtkpod does ;)
[05:14] <Moodles> something is wrong with my Ubuntu 6.06, Mplayer doesn't run, it shows its loading screen then exits
[05:14] <MOSMarauder> so maybe an older driver version might help?
[05:14] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: i think this is model number : BB-BW-FXII-A2-CT
[05:14] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  still sayin I aint got permisions,..  n stuff..
[05:14] <slavik> Moodles: run it from a terminal, that way you get some error
[05:14] <MOSMarauder> cut glx and nvidia origina are the same version nr
[05:14] <MOSMarauder> cuz..
[05:14] <skippy81> ylon:  there may be hope for you - i have found that there is a kernel module named "NCPFS" (Netware core protocol), it is described as "allowing you to mount netware file server volumes and access them", basically it lets you use your linux machine as a netware CLIENT. Is that what you want?
[05:14] <stringbling> wastrel, then i can startx from command prompt? are you sure?
[05:14] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  this is what it says in disk manager.....   You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hdb1".
[05:15] <slavik> stringbling: yes
[05:15] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: no go? paste cat /etc/fstab . I want to see if its is mount readonly again. Can you create a folder?
[05:15] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey: what can you do with those numbers, i dont undertand
[05:15] <wastrel> stringbling:  should work - if it doesn't you can just reinstall your display manager :]
[05:15] <LoneShadow> Shadyman_
[05:15] <Mr_Smith> When I go to update manager it says an upgrade is available, but doesn't give me the option to upgrade what should I do?
[05:15] <wastrel> stringbling:  try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  then ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X  then "startx" at the prompt.
[05:15] <stringbling> ok, i'll give it a try
[05:15] <ylon> skippy81: no, I need to mount netware file systems.
[05:15] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: dont worry about the disk manager yet.. right now.. its not our friend. we'll buy it out soon :-)
[05:15] <dougsko> freddy, lol ok
[05:15] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  it's not even mounted  in the cat /etc/fstab
[05:16] <wmadden> i tried to install XGL, and no whenever I boot up, it tells me FPE /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.  what does that mean?
[05:16] <AlwaysIcey> [CC] , if you have the brand name and the model number, you can go to their support site, and get the technical specs for the computer.  It will tell you exactly what the sound card is, and other devices.
[05:16] <ylon> skippy81: how much would you charge to figure out a solution?  I've been working on this for about 8 hours
[05:16] <skippy81> so the file systems are physucally located in your linux box?
[05:16] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I see, dha1, hda5, and hdc
[05:16] <digikom> !tell digikom about xgl
[05:16] <skippy81> ylon: people dont charge here :)
[05:16] <Moodles> slavik: do you know where the binary executable is for mplayer?
[05:16] <ylon> skippy81: I don't have much mind left after this, it seems that there are some distros out there that would do what I need, but I can't find any
[05:16] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: that's a good sign. now you get to do it. paste /etc/fstab. I am more interested in your linux partition now
[05:16] <_kadaj_3> fuker]

[05:18] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: do you have a live cd or something? you going to need to scan your drive with the command fsck.ext3
[05:18] <AlwaysIcey> The list that you were looking at, where it showed you Realtek.
[05:19] <CaBlGuY> yea,,   I got the dapper CD
[05:19] <[CC] Impsy> nope
[05:19] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: not a nice time to be a newbie
[05:19] <[CC] Impsy> i dont think it would go on that list though
[05:19] <frank23> symetric: you can try #ubuntu-xgl
[05:19] <gene0915> Hello all...slight prob. I'm installing kubuntu 6.06 using the alternate CD. I have no option to install grub to /dev/fd0. It only puts it on the hard disk. How can I force grub onto the floppy during setup?
[05:19] <IcemanV9> ylon: apt-cache search netware .. see if any of those helps you
[05:19] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  yea I'm seein that...
[05:19] <symetric> thanks frank23
[05:19] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: the desktop right? not the alternative. right
[05:19] <symetric> #ubuntu-xgl
[05:19] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I got everything else pretty much set up all by myself thouigh...  :)

[05:20] <[CC] Impsy> can i open up my computer and see the card?
[05:20] <[CC] Impsy> will it tell me on it?
[05:20] <AlwaysIcey> Try this link.  If it doesn't show up right, put Soundblaster AWE32 in the search box and search for it.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=5756613
[05:20] <ylon> IcemanV9: no luck in terms of nwfs access

[05:21] <DShepherd> masho: oops.. sorry.. wrong person
[05:21] <workbean> " You are running a kernel (version 2.6.10-5-386) and attempting to remove  the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action." - I get that during a dist-upgrade
[05:21] <IcemanV9> ylon: not even ncpfs?
[05:21] <avis> i dont know i heard about making boot floppies in the grub how-to
[05:21] <masho> frank23: and then I can select the enviroment on login ?
[05:21] <[CC] Impsy> lol this is a nightmare
[05:21] <warthawg> is there anything special for restricted file formats for lts?
[05:21] <axisys> danfg: apt-get install build-essential

[05:22] <Hajuu> Can ANYONE tell me, why whenever I restart, all my mixer channels on my sblive are muted and volume set to zero? Its a pain having to reset it every time.
[05:22] <ylon> IcemanV9: no, unfortunately that is network access, not direct fs.
[05:22] <[CC] Impsy> no it was 98
[05:22] <warthawg> good grief, there a 882 folks in here
[05:22] <IcemanV9> ylon: does 2.6 work?

[05:25] <ubotu> jarrod06: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:25] <christian> does anyone have problems with the xorg.conf resolutions not being the actual resolutions you can get on your display?
[05:25] <supertanker> did u download the source or the .deb
[05:25] <supertanker> Impsy: did u download the source or the .deb
[05:25] <[CC] Impsy> i think the source
[05:25] <Clint-> yes, and thats what I been doing, I just been busy with rhino3d, and maxon, and spending time with girlfriend and friends, best friends, and just seen "X-MEN" today :-)
[05:25] <slavik> eigenlambda: gnome and kde are different, please keep that type of comment to yourself (we don't want to start religion wars)
[05:25] <wastrel> christian:  did you restart X after changing your xorg.conf?
[05:26] <[CC] Impsy> let me check
[05:26] <supertanker> yes I do impsy
[05:26] <whiter> [CC] Impsy you just installed ubuntu just now
[05:26] <Aphostile> My update manager is the newest vesion
[05:26] <christian> yes. i did
[05:26] <slavik> impsy, both are in the repositories
[05:26] <supertanker> Okay. First, open a terminal
[05:26] <Aphostile> version
[05:26] <AlwaysIcey> Well, CC.. Unless someone else can help you with this, my suggestion is the forums.  I'm not sure what to tell you otherwise.
[05:26] <supertanker> See if it is a .tar.gz
[05:26] <[CC] Impsy> whiter: i installed xubuntu today
[05:26] <whiter> impsy after 98?
[05:26] <christian> i have a laptop and it is stuck 1920x1200
[05:26] <supertanker> or .tar.bz2
[05:26] <supertanker> I can help Impsy
[05:26] <slavik> Aphostile: update-manager -d should give you a button which shows a new distribution
[05:26] <Clint-> sometimes I feel like doing a Jean Grey on ubuntu sometimes, :-)
[05:26] <christian> and that isn't even in my xorg.conf
[05:26] <supertanker> Just tell me what file you downloaded, and i can help from there.
[05:26] <danfg> how does one restart or stop the X server without restarting the OS?
[05:26] <whiter> impsy xubuntu is nice :)... i use it
[05:26] <Clint-> actually, the MS-sql attacks :)
[05:26] <wastrel> christian:  if you have an xorg.conf file in your home directory, that takes precedence - another little gotcha
[05:27] <slavik> danfg: ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:27] <AlwaysIcey> Awesome supertanker.  I'll have to watch, for some pointers then.. :D
[05:27] <Clint-> just make that,  The Phoenix :)
[05:27] <[CC] Impsy> i dont see a debian file here : http://www.bzflag.org/wiki/Download
[05:27] <danfg> slavik: nice, i'll try it brb
[05:27] <danfg> slavik: thanks btw
[05:27] <slavik> [CC] Impsy: system -> administration -> synaptic package manager :)
[05:27] <BlueEagle> danfg: in the terminal (hint: CTRL+ALT+F1) run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or kdm for kubuntu or xdm for xubuntu)
[05:27] <christian> there are no xorg.conf in home directory
[05:27] <[CC] Impsy> slavik: whats it do
[05:27] <christian> i didn't have this problem in hoary
[05:27] <christian> just in dapper
[05:27] <christian> or in breezy
[05:27] <slavik> it allows you to install programs without hunting for stuff on the ent :D
[05:28] <slavik> ent=net
[05:28] <Clint-> why and the heck, does FreeNode keep probing my connection :D
[05:28] <christian> i don't know if its something with the nvidia driver
[05:28] <danfg> BlueEagle: what about just stopping it, gdm stop ?
[05:28] <whiter> impy what are you trying to do
[05:28] <[CC] Impsy> well how about if that computer has no net to search on =]
[05:28] <whiter> [CC] Impsy what are you trying to do
[05:28] <BlueEagle> danfg: That will shut down the X server.
[05:28] <[CC] Impsy> meaning theres no internet
[05:28] <supertanker> Impsy: what file did you download for bzflag? the .tar,gz, or the .deb
[05:28] <whiter> i can help, i use xubuntu
[05:28] <slavik> [CC] Impsy: you can download the deb files and put them on CD :)
[05:28] <danfg> BlueEagle: thanks :)
[05:28] <[CC] Impsy> supertanker: i got the tar.gz because i didnt see a deb file
[05:28] <supertanker> [CC[Impsy: what file did you download for bzflag? the .tar,gz, or the .deb
[05:28] <BlueEagle> danfg: np
[05:28] <supertanker> Okay. Now, press, alt+f2
[05:28] <[CC] Impsy> slavik: i dont see the deb files on the d/l pages, maybe im missing them
[05:28] <freddy> how do i install a rpm?
[05:28] <whiter> IMPSY
[05:28] <whiter> lol
[05:28] <Aphostile> cool
[05:28] <wastrel> christian:  i recommend removing all the resoultions except the one you want from your xorg.conf (back up the original first) then restarting X....  dunno otherwise
[05:28] <Aphostile> ty
[05:29] <danfg> brb
[05:29] <slavik> [CC] Impsy: I meant from the repositories
[05:29] <BlueEagle> !alien
[05:29] <ubotu> I heard alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[05:29] <Aphostile> not gonna bother to update the kernel yet
[05:29] <supertanker> freddyrpm --install rpmname.rpm
[05:29] <[CC] Impsy> Wait before i install games, I NEED MY SOUND WORKGIN!
[05:29] <christian> I did that already....But no luck
[05:29] <supertanker> freddy: rpm --install rpmname.rpm
[05:29] <kurt754> Ubuntu doesn't recognize my network card on my motherboard automatically. It's NVIDIA based. Any ideas on how to resolve?
[05:29] <wastrel> christian:  if you upgraded from hoary are you maybe using xfree instead of xorg?
[05:29] <Aphostile> might as well get the latest and greatest first
[05:29] <[CC] Impsy> i need to get my sound owkring
[05:29] <siimo> hi does the Dapper Drake Desktop CD still ask questions like your timezone and language when you just want to run it like a LIVE CD
[05:29] <[CC] Impsy> why is linux such a pain so far
[05:29] <supertanker> Impsy what desktop envo are u using

[05:29] <whiter> impsy how is your sound not working
[05:29] <AlwaysIcey> tell kurt754 about Nvidia
[05:29] <supertanker> Linux is just 'hostile to beginners"/ once you get the hang of it, it will be awsome
[05:29] <christian> i was running breezy, and upgraded and got the same problem
[05:29] <whiter> are you trying to play an mp3?
[05:29] <[CC] Impsy> lol the soud doesnothing
[05:30] <greg> ok I installed the build-essentials and still nothing when I type make.
[05:30] <whiter> are you trying to play an mp3?
[05:30] <christian> so i though a complete re-install might do the trick
[05:30] <christian> but no luck
[05:30] <[CC] Impsy> it just doesnt detect the sound card or soemthing
[05:30] <slavik> [CC] Impsy: what card do you have?
[05:30] <wastrel> pisser
[05:30] <whiter> impsy how do you know
[05:30] <[CC] Impsy> i think a Soundblaster AWE32
[05:30] <Hamppari> kurt754 try to find out the exact model, and there should be some info on tje ubuntu wiki or forums (had the same problem)
[05:30] <[CC] Impsy> wow busy forum
[05:30] <whiter> it should...
[05:30] <slavik> impsy, no offense, but get something more recent anyway
[05:30] <Aphostile> very

[05:30] <wastrel> anyone know why palm pilot sync with evolution is broken in dapper?
[05:30] <slavik> impsy, pastebin the output of lsmod

[05:31] <AlwaysIcey> ubotu tell kurt754 about Nvidia
[05:31] <slavik> impsy, the computer you are on now, is it the ubuntu computer?
[05:31] <kurt754> I built the PC myself :)
[05:31] <slavik> kurt754: most people here do it :P
[05:31] <DShepherd> *nods*
[05:31] <bLanK> i'm trying to install ubuntu onto my harddisk thru windows/vmware.. and later booting native... how could i have ubuntu not to detect/configure the hardware till i boot native?
[05:31] <kurt754> Thanks ubotu for the URL
[05:31] <slavik> who wants my completely useless perl script?
[05:32] <CaBlGuY> okey dokey DShepherd I iz here on the live CD
[05:32] <CaBlGuY> :p
[05:32] <SurfnKid> http://pastebin.com/756969  how to fix this?
[05:32] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ahh you made it
[05:32] <[CC] Impsy> sorry i cant pastebin the lsmod
[05:32] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  word..
[05:32] <slavik> impsy, why not?
[05:32] <[CC] Impsy> and im not on the xubuntu computer
[05:32] <CaBlGuY> :)
[05:32] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sudo mount /dev/hda1 # that's your first command
[05:32] <[CC] Impsy> this isnt the xubuntu computer
[05:32] <slavik> oh
[05:32] <CaBlGuY> ok, doin that now..
[05:32] <MaKkY> Ekiga.... how do i use it?
[05:32] <[CC] Impsy> but what info u need from it?:
[05:32] <MaKkY> can I call normal phones with it?
[05:33] <kurt754> The URL I was provided appears to be info about the video drivers rather then the network drivers
[05:33] <slavik> impsy, I wanted to see if it loaded any module for your sound card :)
[05:33] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  wouldn't it be bdb1 though?
[05:33] <CaBlGuY> not hda1
[05:33] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: then sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1 # that's your second. that should check and fix errors that you have linux drive
[05:33] <[CC] Impsy> do u know what they would be called?
[05:33] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: no... /dev/hda1 is correct
[05:33] <slavik> SurfnKid: you need the public key, but it isn't a big thing ...
[05:33] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok..
[05:33] <slavik> impsy, I can try to look it up hold on
[05:33] <SurfnKid> slavik: grr i knwo but i cant dl the package
[05:33] <siimo> anyone here :/
[05:33] <christian> how can you add resolutions to the gnome-display properties
[05:34] <christian> because it is getting resolutions not in my xorg.conf file
[05:34] <SurfnKid> slavik: is there another way to get it
[05:34] <christian> and thus i'm stuck with those resolutions
[05:34] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  said this when I did the first command..
[05:34] <CaBlGuY> mount: can't find /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:34] <siimo> christian: it picks em from xorg.conf
[05:34] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: good. go with the second onenow
[05:34] <bueng> anyone else have problems with gDesklets?
[05:34] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I am posed to use the # at the end rigth?
[05:34] <CaBlGuY> Oh ok..
[05:34] <CaBlGuY> :p
[05:34] <slavik> SurfnKid: what are you downloading?
[05:34] <christian> well...i'm stuck on 1920x1200 and that resolution is not in my xorg.conf
[05:35] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: your linux filesystem had errors so ubuntu mounted it readonly .. protecting us from ourselves. thats why u couldnt make a directory or anything..
[05:35] <christian> the resolution is too big...so I've never used it and always take it out
[05:35] <slavik> christian: what resolution would you like?
[05:35] <christian> 1280x960
[05:35] <MaKkY> I need help using Ekiga
[05:35] <christian> which is the only one in my xorg.conf
[05:35] <MaKkY> !Ekiga
[05:35] <ubotu> ekiga is, like, full-featured SIP and H.323 compatible VoIP, IP-Telephony and Videoconferencing application that allows you to make audio and video calls to remote users with SIP and H.323 hardware or software.
[05:35] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: it may take awile..so you can go get some drinks for the both of us..
[05:35] <IcemanV9> bueng: nope

[05:35] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  done..
[05:35] <CaBlGuY> :)
[05:35] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: water will do fine for me though :-)
[05:35] <slavik> SurfnKid: look in wiki/forums there are xgl/compiz guides
[05:35] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  shall I do a pastebin?
[05:35] <SurfnKid> http://pastebin.com/756970

[05:36] <CaBlGuY> Sup MaKkY...  :)
[05:36] <slavik> impsy, look for "sbawe"
[05:36] <IcemanV9> bueng: try a different rss feed to see if it works better
[05:36] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I got a fast machine....  ;)
[05:37] <MaKkY> CaBlGuY, do you know how to use Ekiga?
[05:37] <slavik> if it's not there, try "sudo modprobe sbawe" in terminal
[05:37] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sudo mkdir /mount/linux && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mount/linux #that should mount your linux partion now
[05:37] <slavik> [CC] Impsy: read my 2 previous messages
[05:37] <CaBlGuY> MaKkY sorry no...
[05:37] <bueng> i've tried both slashdot and digg and they both give me the same problem
[05:37] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: a very very fast machine
[05:37] <MaKkY> DShepherd: Know how to use Ekiga?
[05:37] <AlwaysIcey> Ugh. :S  The video card that worked perfectly in Breezy-Badger is crashing in Dapper.  I can see I'm going to have to find a driver for it.
[05:38] <DShepherd> MaKkY: never used it. I guess you dont either
[05:38] <CaBlGuY> ok, DShepherd said this.....   mkdir: cannot create directory `/mount/linux': No such file or directory
[05:38] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: ahh.. sorry.. /mnt instead of mount :-)
[05:38] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok..  :)
[05:39] <wastrel> christian:  check /var/log/Xorg.0.log  see what's happening maybe...
[05:39] <CaBlGuY> ok,.. DShepherd this time says...  mount: mount point /mount/linux does not exist
[05:39] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: change mount to mnt :-)
[05:39] <christian> Well...if i have my vga hooked up the display works great and works according to the xorg.conf
[05:39] <CaBlGuY> and this is command..
[05:39] <CaBlGuY> sudo mkdir /mnt/linux && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mount/linux #
[05:39] <[CC] Impsy> slavik: notihng
[05:39] <christian> but when i'm on the laptop without my vga hooked up
[05:39] <[CC] Impsy> slavik: how can i check to make sure what my card is?
[05:39] <DShepherd> sudo mkdir /mnt/linux && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/linux #that's what you want
[05:39] <christian> and just display on my laptop it just gives me 1920x1200
[05:40] <Moodles> !x
[05:40] <ubotu> it has been said that x is a portable, network-transparent window system.
[05:40] <christian> (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select"
[05:40] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  says cannot creat dir, File exists..
[05:40] <christian> is there a way to turn that off?
[05:41] <SurfnKid> when a package is kept back what is typically the reason?
[05:41] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: err!!!!! ok. lets do this again
[05:41] <ESPOiG> how do you stop a removeable drive from making a .trash folder when ever you delete files on the drive, which in turn doesnt even delete them ?
[05:41] <nf4> 5 more minuts to see if this upgrade works
[05:41] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  :P
[05:41] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sudo mkdir -P /mount/linux && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mount/linux #that should mount your linux partion now
[05:41] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: -P should make /mount/linux for you.. then mount it
[05:41] <deleted_team2> anyone good with TCP/IP?  pinging my localhost times out. i'm not really sure where to start.
[05:41] <wastrel> nvidia stuff i dunno - only ever had ati cards...
[05:41] <LoneShadow> anyone got freepbx/amp installed on ubuntu ?
[05:42] <ESPOiG> how do you stop a removeable drive from making a .trash folder when ever you delete files on the drive, which in turn doesnt even delete them ?
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  said   mkdir: invalid option -- P
[05:42] <AlienX> lol
[05:42] <caustictwin> question: my roommate here in mexico has been using my laptop without permission
[05:42] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: P to p. smaller is always better
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> lOL
[05:42] <caustictwin> I want to bust him on it but I want to use a keylogger to fuck with him for a while
[05:42] <LoneShadow> caustictwin: b*tchslap him :D
[05:42] <AlienX> it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it
[05:42] <BlueEagle> espoig: We saw you the first time. If noone answers it is most likely because noone here knows the answer to your question. Asking them with 1 minute intervals is just annoying.
[05:42] <caustictwin> is lkl good?
[05:42] <wmadden> hey guys how many kb are in 256 mb?
[05:42] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, next
[05:43] <AlienX> !language
[05:43] <ubotu> Please watch your language. We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[05:43] <caustictwin> LoneShadow, revenge man, revenge
[05:43] <slavik> wmadden: 256*1024
[05:43] <wastrel> wmadden:  ask google.
[05:43] <wmadden> slavik, thanks
[05:43] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: goood.. now i paste cat /etc/fstab
[05:43] <LoneShadow> keylogger is not good
[05:43] <[CC] Impsy> slavik: how can i check to make sure what my card is?
[05:43] <caustictwin> sure it is
[05:43] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: i want to see if you linux hardrive is ok now
[05:43] <slavik> lspci :)
[05:43] <LoneShadow> maybe he already has put a keylogger on you, and thats why he used your comp :P
[05:43] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: you = your*
[05:43] <caustictwin> then I can post some awesome comments on his facebook
[05:43] <[CC] Impsy> LSPCI shows me nothing..
[05:43] <caustictwin> LoneShadow, lol, if only he had seen linux before
[05:44] <eigenlambda> caustictwin: go to #2600 to discuss such things
[05:44] <wastrel> google calculator is so cool.  just put in "KB in 256 MB"
[05:44] <[CC] Impsy> it doesnt tell me anything about my card
[05:44] <caustictwin> and anyhow, I already checked processes
[05:44] <eigenlambda> or better yet, efnet
[05:44] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: how do you everyone saw it, someone may have been in another window and low reso, so when they looked back my msg had gone and then as i posted it again they could now see it without scrolling up :S
[05:44] <ydnar> i can't believe it, i'm actually running xchat on ubuntu -- woo woo
[05:44] <nf4> 17 second s left
[05:44] <caustictwin> eigenlambda, now you're giving 2600 a bad name
[05:44] <nf4> 2seconds
[05:44] <CaBlGuY> !patebin
[05:44] <ubotu> CaBlGuY: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/

[05:44] <nf4> reboot
[05:44] <[CC] Impsy> lol is there a way to add windows 98 again and have xubuntu
[05:44] <eigenlambda> 2600 had a bad name ever since it named itself after a notorious exploit for the phone network
[05:44] <[CC] Impsy> lol is there a way to add windows 98 again and have xubuntu
[05:44] <BlueEagle> espoig: because "we care"(tm)
[05:45] <AlienX> people still use windows 98?
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> yes
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> and it works awesome
[05:45] <eigenlambda> lol @ windows 98
[05:45] <caustictwin> more like discovering a security-through-obscurity backdoor
[05:45] <eigenlambda> dude, just use wine
[05:45] <zcat[1] > people still use 95
[05:45] <mooseman089> hey
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> lol i never get viruses
[05:45] <resonant> Oh man
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> or anything
[05:45] <AlienX> zcat[1] , It always amazes me that people still use windows ;)
[05:45] <resonant> Windows anything. Hahahahah.
[05:45] <eigenlambda> wine implements 98 well enough for everything i've ever thrown at it
[05:45] <CaBlGuY> ok DShepherd http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15063
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> i want my sound back
[05:45] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: i will not go into a immature argument, that you started over this
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> i want my video card to work
[05:45] <[CC] Impsy> I WANT EVERYTHING to work again
[05:45] <BlueEagle> espoig: Good.
[05:45] <eigenlambda> yes, but the captain crunch whistle was an exploit
[05:46] <Sarmis|Laptop> at least he's using 98, and not ME ;-)
[05:46] <Elendal> What program can I use to create a report with summary about system hardware?
[05:46] <eigenlambda> no doubt about it
[05:46] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: so GoodDay
[05:46] <mooseman089> how is everybody?
[05:46] <slavik> impsy, your hardware is old ... really old
[05:46] <[CC] Impsy> nothing works, its amazing that linux cant detect anytihng
[05:46] <eigenlambda> just because it was security through obscurity
[05:46] <eigenlambda> doesn't mean it wasn't an exploit
[05:46] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sweet..
[05:46] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: now we shall mount the ntfs partition and win cause we are using linux and only bright people use linux... but before we do.. you need to restart.. without the the live cd this time :-D
[05:46] <resonant> |CC|Impsy: Sorry to say, you are probably better off going back to windows. It will hold your hand the whole way.
[05:46] <[CC] Impsy> how can i get windows 98 back on
[05:46] <zcat[1] > eigenlambda: wine fails (or I can't figure out) the sole task I want from it; running MSIE so I can test website compatibility
[05:46] <[CC] Impsy> while still keeping xubuntu
[05:46] <resonant> AlienX: I'm American.
[05:46] <resonant> Actually
[05:46] <resonant> Fuck it
[05:46] <slavik> impsy with an illegally downloaded mp3 :P
[05:46] <[CC] Impsy> cant i have both?
[05:46] <resonant> I just live here.
[05:46] <eigenlambda> lol ya
[05:46] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, so reboot back onto the the HDD
[05:46] <CaBlGuY> yes?
[05:46] <eigenlambda> wine can't do msie
[05:46] <wastrel> anyone else having trouble getting their palm pilot to sync with evolution in dapper?  it's totally broken for me...
[05:46] <[CC] Impsy> how can i have both?
[05:46] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: yes yes and yes
[05:46] <eigenlambda> wine does everything i want...
[05:46] <wmadden> has anyone had the error /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing
[05:47] <AlienX> resonant, i'm american too, but i travel on a canadian passport :)
[05:47] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, brb
[05:47] <dewani> hi
[05:47] <CaBlGuY> ;)
[05:47] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: want another yes?
[05:47] <slavik> impsy, win98 has to be installed first, then ubuntu
[05:47] <[CC] Impsy> blah
[05:47] <Moodles> !kernal
[05:47] <ubotu> Moodles: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:47] <resonant> AlienX: I want to live in Canada. Or maybe England.
[05:47] <AlienX> resonant, it rains too much in England
[05:47] <slavik> see? ukraine was easy you knew you had to bribe people to get around
[05:47] <axisys> where is the repo for linux-dri-modules-common?
[05:47] <resonant> AlienX: I love the rain.
[05:47] <wmadden> just not sure what I need to do to fix it
[05:47] <mooseman089> does anybody know a good ups for ubuntu? my power company keeps going out and i think i have corrupt files now.....
[05:47] <zcat[1] > [CC] Impsy: install 98, then boot into linux using the live CD and reinstall GRUB wilh access to both oses
[05:47] <[CC] Impsy> lol my computer with xubuntu on it is completely worthless
[05:47] <AlienX> resonant, 300 days a year? heh
[05:47] <dewani> iiihiii
[05:47] <slavik> but in US it's called "campaign donations" and "lobbying"

[05:48] <ubotu> mooseman089: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> can 98cd isos be found?
[05:48] <eigenlambda> [CC] Impsy: wow, what kind of hardware do you have that ubuntu can't detect?
[05:48] <eigenlambda> [CC] Impsy: try pirate bay?
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> my sound card..
[05:48] <zcat[1] > you have 98 installed but unbootable?
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> my video card : ATI
[05:48] <slavik> impsy, we are open source not pirates ... arrg, matey\
[05:48] <Moodles> !kernel
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> im a pirate then
[05:48] <slavik> impsy, which ati?
[05:48] <resonant> |CC|Impsy. Which sound card?
[05:48] <eigenlambda> ya, of course ubuntu doesn't detect your ati video card
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> i dont even know
[05:48] <[CC] Impsy> i have no idea what i got
[05:48] <eigenlambda> you need to download the driver
[05:48] <Elendal> What program can I use to create a summary report about system hardware?
[05:48] <slavik> eigenlambda: it is probably rage pro or something
[05:48] <eigenlambda> mmm
[05:48] <slavik> Elendal: lspci
[05:49] <resonant> Night all
[05:49] <slavik> lspci > file.txt
[05:49] <stringbling> ok,  so i did sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and it logged out and back in with startx just fine.  but after reboot, of course gdm is started again.. i want to permanently stop gdm, and in order to remove gdm with synaptic, i have to lose ubuntu-desktop also.. is ubuntu desktop critical? or am i ok to lose it seeing as how i loaded with startx just fine?  maybe i should just set gdm's runlevel off or something?  any ideas any
[05:49] <stringbling> one?
[05:49] <slavik> file.txt will have all the hardware on your system
[05:49] <eigenlambda> slavik: oh right, 'cause he has a sound card too. lol
[05:49] <BlueEagle> espoig: Oh, and I found out how to keep gnome from creating .Trash on removable drives.
[05:49] <zcat[1] > OK, first you should probably buy a copy of 98 off ebay or something. they're cheap as dirt now and hardly worth pirating..
[05:49] <nf4> geezz this take a while even after it is downloaded
[05:49] <Elendal> slavik and if I need more?
[05:49] <nf4> oh well
[05:49] <ports-> caustictwin whats ikl
[05:49] <nf4> only 15minutes more
[05:49] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: that is good
[05:49] <nf4> now
[05:49] <slavik> stringbling: like I said before, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[05:49] <[CC] Impsy> its : Radeon 9200 SE
[05:49] <slavik> Elendal: lspci -v :)
[05:49] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: twas it in forums
[05:49] <eigenlambda> lol impressive
[05:49] <eigenlambda> ok
[05:50] <nf4> what  dose meta package mean
[05:50] <caustictwin> lkl
[05:50] <[CC] Impsy> its : Radeon 9200 SE
[05:50] <[CC] Impsy> can i get that to work
[05:50] <slavik> impsy, check out the ati binary driver guide
[05:50] <eigenlambda> u need the ati driver... whats it called... is it in restricted?
[05:50] <caustictwin> linux key logger
[05:50] <mooseman089> shitty edition?
[05:50] <slavik> !ati
[05:50] <ubotu> it has been said that ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers.
[05:50] <wastrel> stringbling:  you can either remove gdm or just tell it not to run at boot
[05:50] <BlueEagle> espoig: Yes it was.
[05:50] <nf4> ati has drivers
[05:50] <[CC] Impsy> someone link me
[05:50] <caustictwin> the keymap file won't work :(
[05:50] <stringbling> slavic so meta means useless of non critical or what?
[05:50] <BlueEagle> espoig: I can't believe you didn't find it before you asked here. :)
[05:50] <slavik> there it is
[05:50] <wastrel> a metapackage is a wrapper that just pulls in other packages.
[05:50] <slavik> I have on my experience 2 200M and 1 X300 working witha ti drivers
[05:50] <wastrel> think of it as a list of other packages
[05:50] <CaBlGuY> :P
[05:50] <stringbling> wastrel how do i tell it not to run?
[05:50] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: i did look, are you gunna tell me what to type or not :D
[05:50] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/partitions-booting.html < now go back there.. and put /dev/hdb1 instead of /dev/hda1 and you should have won :-). . Then type sudo mount -a and you should be ok :-)
[05:50] <nf4> Dads root beer pwn3s
[05:50] <Elendal> does  not kive me CPU, memory, HDDs
[05:50] <Sarmis|Laptop> btw, I fixed my resolution problem by running in safe graphical mode :P
[05:51] <stringbling> removing gdm also removes ubuntu-desktop
[05:51] <[CC] Impsy> :( i need my video driver working
[05:51] <[CC] Impsy> it freezes on those moving screensavers
[05:51] <slavik> stringbling: meta means that it is there to bitch about packages that aren't installed yet so you installed them
[05:51] <zcat[1] > meta means 'about' a metapackage is a package that just forces other packages to be installed
[05:51] <wastrel> stringbling:  man update-rc.d   use update-rc.d command :]
[05:51] <mooseman089> does ext3 automatically repair if it can?
[05:51] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: you got some nice horse power in your system. but i was prepared for your speedy return :-D
[05:51] <slavik> mooseman089: I believe so since it has journaling capability
[05:51] <[CC] Impsy> how can i get my Radeon 9200 SE to work?
[05:51] <stringbling> ok, i'll try that
[05:51] <slavik> impsy, did you read the wiki?
[05:51] <slavik> !ati
[05:52] <ubotu> it has been said that ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers.
[05:52] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  :)
[05:52] <BlueEagle> espoig: Oh, I thought you had found it already. http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10763 edit ~/.gnome/gnome-vfs/.trash_entry_cache and add the line '/pendrive -' where /pendrive is the mount point of the removable drive.
[05:52] <DShepherd> mooseman089: not that I know of. you can use fsck.ext3. but its wise to so from a live cd
[05:52] <slavik> the second link
[05:52] <DShepherd> mooseman089: to do so*
[05:52] <mooseman089> lol who is right slavix or dshepherd?
[05:52] <[CC] Impsy> my head hurts tho
[05:52] <ESPOiG> BlueEagle: ty
[05:52] <MaKkY> DShepherd: how do i install a '.tar.gz' file; i've already extracted it, now what?
[05:52] <[CC] Impsy> way too many instructions
[05:52] <DShepherd> mooseman089: maybe slavik :-)
[05:52] <AlienX> MaKkY, read the README file :)
[05:53] <slavik> MaKkY: did you install the checkinstall package?
[05:53] <MaKkY> AlienX: that was the 1st thing i looked for... couldn't find it...
[05:53] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, your talkin about the mkdir thingy right????
[05:53] <DShepherd> MaKkY: what are you installing if I may asked
[05:53] <mooseman089> i think it tried one time during boot but i dont think it worked because i mounted a iso file i had backed up there and it was all corrupt then it wasnt before the backup
[05:53] <[CC] Impsy> haha i should put xp on it
[05:53] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  I do better when told what to do not read..  :p
[05:53] <[CC] Impsy> instead of putting 98 back on it
[05:54] <BlueEagle> espoig: You're welcome. Oh, and for future reference I googled: preventing ".trash folder" gnome
[05:54] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY:ok.. hehehehe.. that's generally not a good thing
[05:54] <[CC] Impsy> i pass the minimum requirements
[05:54] <AlienX> MaKkY, what are you trying to compile?
[05:54] <MaKkY> DShepherd: it is the drivers for my printer/fax/scanner/copier....
[05:54] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sudo mkdir /media/windows # first command
[05:54] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  yea well,   ya know...  *shrugs*
[05:54] <zcat[1] > [CC] Impsy: what exactly do you need windows for? perhaps we can suggest a free alternative..
[05:54] <[CC] Impsy> Gaming.
[05:54] <MaKkY> DShepherd: so i can use Xsane Image Scanner...... with MY Scanner....
[05:54] <[CC] Impsy> Plus i want stuff to work well.
[05:54] <slavik> impsy, on that system, what games do you play?
[05:54] <hangfire> I type gcc into the console and nothing comes up, isnt gcc installed by default?
[05:54] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup #second command
[05:54] <[CC] Impsy> call of duty
[05:54] <slavik> solitaire? :P
[05:54] <DShepherd> MaKkY: ok
[05:54] <zcat[1] > For gamin I'd suggest get a console ;)
[05:54] <Schalke1> HOORAY FOR UBUNTU!
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> call of duty runs fine
[05:55] <slavik> on a 9200se?
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> yes
[05:55] <slavik> what CPU?
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> 350mhz
[05:55] <slavik> with an awe32 ...
[05:55] <slavik> oh god
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> lol i bet you dont belive me
[05:55] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab #third command. you getting all of this?
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> but it does
[05:55] <mooseman089> dshepherd: how bad would it be to run fsck.ext3 from the os
[05:55] <wastrel> hangfire:  nope.  install  build-essential
[05:55] <[CC] Impsy> i get a bit of fps drop outside but im otherwise fine

[05:58] <wastrel> please take random computer hardware discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:58] <slavik> but first you have to install checkinstall (sudo apt-get install checkinstall)
[05:58] <[CC] Impsy> eh?
[05:58] <slavik> checkinstall will compile the stuff and then make a .deb file
[05:58] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ummmm  may have a prob...  looky.....   mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb1 is mounted on /tmp/disks-conf-hdb1
[05:58] <[CC] Impsy> slavik talk in offtopic

[06:00] <ubotu> rumour has it, msttcorefonts is sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts - you'll need multiverse enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list first

[06:01] <TTT_Travis> I install the dhcp3 server and for some reason it won't start on a default install of ubuntu server dapper, is there a firewall blocking it or something?
[06:01] <DShepherd> halibut: have you tried out the restricted formats page already?

[06:02] <SurfnKid> HeLp.. Compiz/XGL

[06:02] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, SurfnKid
[06:02] <slavik> menisk: they should have an irc channel, I think your problem has something to do with a config somewhere
[06:02] <MaKkY> slavik, where can i download linux games & software?
[06:02] <Sarmis|Laptop> w00t! I must say, I currently love ubuntu.  In 5 minutes, I got my pos obscure wireless card working :)
[06:03] <mtholdenss> yeh i got my wireless working too
[06:03] <hastesaver> MaKkY, most of what you want is in the repositories; avoid downloading stuff from random places
[06:03] <CaBlGuY> :)
[06:03] <DShepherd> halibut: i guess you havent.. there's a page.. on the ubuntu wiki called RestrictedFormats.. it should guide you in installing mp3s and other restricted format stuff
[06:03] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: fast!
[06:03] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  time??
[06:03] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: and?
[06:03] <slavik> MaKkY: synaptic

[06:03] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: i dont know.. it wast too fast
[06:03] <MaKkY> hasteserver, even games like.... half-life?
[06:03] <Sarmis|Laptop> feross> wep
[06:03] <slavik> MaKkY: half-life is not free
[06:03] <DarkMageZ> !tell halibut about restrictedformats
[06:03] <Sarmis|Laptop> I live in the boonies, no one is going to try to hack it
[06:03] <SurfnKid> !xgl
[06:03] <ubotu> well, xgl is "XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/"
[06:03] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  IM good..  thanks so much!!!!   I would pay ya if this waht an "offical" channel for support..
[06:03] <mtholdenss> but i cant seem to get wpa security working
[06:03] <MaKkY> slavik, oh....
[06:03] <puff> Evening.
[06:04] <Sarmis|Laptop> I didn't even have to go the ndiswrapper route :)
[06:04] <siimo> what live cd is better? ubuntu or kubuntu or X ubuntu
[06:04] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: hehehe.... your happiness is payment.. enough.. but if you are persistent.. we can work something out :-D
[06:04] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  lemme learn a bit more and I can contribute back.. ;)
[06:04] <DShepherd> halibut: DarkMageZ told you about the link.. you ok now?
[06:04] <Sgeo> !restricted formats
[06:04] <ubotu> I guess restricted formats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or '!codecs'
[06:04] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: that's what we are here for
[06:05] <SurfnKid> hastesaver: thanks :)
[06:05] <halibut> DShepherd, thanks
[06:05] <Anusien> Is there a good program to manipulate PDFs, including filling in pdf forms?
[06:05] <Schalke1> Schalke1?
[06:05] <Anusien> mtholdenss: I think you need supplicant?
[06:05] <DShepherd> siimo: it depends what desktop manager you like best... xubuntu is lighter so it may be nicer to older hardware
[06:05] <MaKkY> slavik, but i want Maya (i know its not free) is there a place I can d/l it from?
[06:05] <mooseman089> hey does anybody have a script to automatically make par2 sets for files in a folder?
[06:05] <mtholdenss> supplicant?
[06:05] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  well, u sure made my night  bro.. ;0)  Thanks AGAIN..
[06:05] <puff> Evening... I'm repurposing an old debian box, figured i might as well install ubuntu on it.
[06:05] <DShepherd> halibut: good luck.. let me know if you are ok now
[06:06] <siimo> DShepherd: irrelevant , just what software is included etc..
[06:06] <hastesaver> Can I write the Dapper ISO to a CD-RW and boot from it?
[06:06] <puff> Am I better off just downloading & burning a new install CD or is there an easier approch?
[06:06] <wastrel> what's par2
[06:06] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: kool.. thanks.. for the thanks.. and your welcome
[06:06] <hastesaver> puff, if you're already using Ubuntu, just upgrade
[06:06] <MaKkY> slavic, is there a place i can download Maya from ( i KNOW its not free...)
[06:06] <hastesaver> !tell puff about upgdrade
[06:06] <CaBlGuY> :)
[06:06] <DShepherd> siimo: oh.. well hmm..... ubuntu maybe... they are all good :-)
[06:06] <Anusien> mtholdenss: wpasupplicant --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?action=show&redirect=WifiDocs%2FDriver%2FBroadcom43xx
[06:06] <Shadyman_> !tell hastesaver about spelling
[06:07] <earthen> could someone point me to the bluetooth help page, I can't seem to find it
[06:07] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: now leave me alone!!.. till you have some other problem
[06:07] <__nnx__> Can anyone tell me where I can get some info on the Dapper DVD, and what's on it, without forcing my connection to choke it down?
[06:07] <hastesaver> Shadyman_, Ubotu does that automatically ("Were you hit by a windmill?...") :)
[06:07] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY:  :-D
[06:07] <Shadyman_> hastesaver: I know ;)
[06:07] <MaKkY> hasteserver, knwo where i can download Maya from ( i Know its not free...)
[06:07] <mtholdenss> is the xgl and composite manager worth going through to get the 3d stuff?
[06:08] <Boelcke> Evening, all.  Anyone care to offer some advice on mounting my FAT32 drive as write-able?  I can't seem to coddle my /etc/fstab file to do this.
[06:08] <frood> I'm having trouble getting a fresh install of Kubntu running on my machine. X won't load and when I try to run it manually I get the following errors at the bottom of my logfile.
[06:08] <frood> (WW) ATI: Candidate "device" section "Ati technologies inc. Radeon X850 blah blah blah
[06:08] <wastrel> what's maya?
[06:08] <frood> (WW) ATI: PCI mach64 in slot 5:0:0 could not be detected
[06:08] <wastrel> !tell Boelcke about mountwindows
[06:08] <Anusien> Is there a good program to manipulate PDFs, including filling in pdf forms?
[06:09] <slavik> wastrel: maya is a program that costs like 7k usd ... it is used for 3dmodeling
[06:09] <MaKkY> wastrel, Maya is a 3d rendering program like Blender 3D, i switched to Linux because of it... Most modelers that use Maya use it for Linux
[06:09] <puff> hastesaver: I just said I'm not upgrading, I'm  repurposing an old debian box.
[06:09] <frood>  (WW) ATI: PCI mach64 in slot 5:0:1 will not be enabled because it confilcets with another non-video PCI device. (EE) no devices detected.
[06:09] <MaKkY> wastrel: however, my Maya, the one i bought is windows only
[06:09] <mooseman089> does anybody know how to make a cron job that well create a par2 set for every file in a folder?
[06:09] <michael117> I upgraded to dapper from breezy yesterday. I have two sound cards (one onboard and another pci one) and blacklisted the onboard one as I had previously but now I am not able to hear sounds in most programs like firefox unless the program specifically allows me to select which device to use (like XMMS). How can I fix this?
[06:10] <Moodles> !nvidia
[06:10] <ubotu> Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:10] <hastesaver> puff, sorry, didn't notice. It helps if everything you say is on the same line, otherwise people like me will only notice one and give wrong answers. Sorry about that :)
[06:10] <satempler> In dapper i get this when trying to empty the trash "/home/sate...urces.list" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[06:10] <Boelcke> Thanks, wastral, I'm looking into that now...
[06:10] <hanasaki> whats the channel for gl?
[06:10] <hanasaki> ~gl
[06:10] <hanasaki> !gl
[06:10] <hastesaver> puff, so yes, I think it's better to do a fresh install. Debian-to-Ubuntu upgrades have been done before, but it can break horribly
[06:10] <ubotu> hanasaki: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:11] <MaKkY> hasteserver, can you help me install a .tar.gz file?
[06:11] <hanasaki> !glx
[06:11] <ubotu> hanasaki: Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:11] <satempler> but I checked all the permissions and I own them all
[06:11] <garotos> alow

[06:11] <ubotu> mooseman089: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:11] <jc> does anybody know how to mount ntfs? in +RW
[06:11] <hastesaver> hanasaki, xgl ?
[06:11] <hanasaki> ya
[06:11] <hanasaki> lol i keep forgetting the channel name
[06:11] <hanasaki> sorry
[06:11] <gr33npho4nix> jc: i wouldn't recommend it
[06:11] <hastesaver> jc, writing to ntfs is not safe.
[06:11] <kameron> can anyone help me get a sata drive working?
[06:11] <garotos> sews idiota
[06:11] <DShepherd> jc it can be dangerous
[06:11] <MaKkY> hastesaver, can you help me install a .tar.gz file?
[06:12] <garotos> nao entende minha lngua
[06:12] <jc> yes ,i know ,but
[06:12] <hastesaver> jc, just for reading, type "/msg ubotu ntfs"
[06:12] <Anusien> !pdf
[06:12] <ubotu> pdf is probably Pretty Dumb Format, or the Portable Document Format created by Adobe to replace PS for use with Acrobat or viewable with xpdf/kpdf/gpdf, adobe reader (free download, but closed source) or gv/gnome-gv. use ps.gz instead!
[06:12] <garotos> ker saber?
[06:12] <frood> !ati
[06:12] <ubotu> it has been said that ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers.
[06:12] <satempler> any one
[06:12] <wastrel> !pt
[06:12] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) ou #ubuntu-pt (/j #ubuntu-pt) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada.
[06:12] <hastesaver> MaKkY, That's not a good idea, usually.   Do I have to use Adobe Reader to type on pdfs?
[06:12] <satempler> I could do it manualy but I would like the gui to work
[06:13] <garotos> flw
[06:13] <satempler> Shadyman_: funny
[06:13] <wastrel> if that's not portugese i don't know what it is.
[06:13] <hanasaki> hastesaver: ?
[06:13] <MaKkY> hastesaver: it is the drivers for my printer,scanner, copier I had the company that manufactured it send me the drivers for the Linux OS
[06:13] <Shadyman_> it's not spanish..
[06:13] <satempler> Shadyman_: no the trash can on the desktop
[06:13] <Shadyman_> satempler: I know ;)
[06:13] <DShepherd> Anusien: not adobe reader.. adobe creator.. or something like that... adobe reader just reads pdfs
[06:13] <satempler> Shadyman_: ok
[06:13] <puff> hastesaver the question was whether there's a simpler alternative to burnin a Cd, like downliadng & running a small binary that then downloads & installs the trest.
[06:14] <Anusien> DSphepherd: i don't need to create them, but I want to be able to type into forms created as pdfs and given to me.  Payroll and the like
[06:14] <hastesaver> MaKkY, oh, ok then. To unpack the tar file, type "tar xvfz <filename.tar.gz>". You could also probably do it by right-clicking, but I'm not using Gnome at the moment
[06:14] <Intangir> where do i find out what all of these /dev devices are
[06:14] <hanasaki> thanks hastesaver
[06:14] <Anusien> Also, anyone able to get flash running on 64-bit dapper?
[06:15] <puff> Hm, that's annoying.
[06:15] <Intangir> i need a way of routing sound shit around..
[06:15] <MaKkY> hastesaver: i have already extracted the file.... how do i install it?
[06:15] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  ok, I'll leave ya alone for a couple days..  ;P
[06:15] <Intangir> i think i need some kind of virtual serial .. thing? or a socket file or something like that
[06:15] <Warbo> Intangir: They are pretty self explanitory. What are you interested in?
[06:15] <Intangir> tty
[06:15] <hastesaver> MaKkY, look for a file called README or INSTALL or something similar.
[06:15] <puff> The winxp machine Iw as using for this connection (ssh to the linux box where this IRC client is ru nning) just spontaneously restarted on me.
[06:15] <Intangir> theres like 50 of them
[06:15] <Intangir> ttyS0
[06:15] <Intangir> ttys0..
[06:15] <Intangir> ttya..
[06:15] <Intangir> ttye..
[06:15] <wastrel> !language
[06:15] <ubotu> Please watch your language. We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[06:15] <Intangir> what the heck are all of these
[06:16] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: we kool though. if you need help and I am around.. just hit me up
[06:16] <puff> I was only running XP on it to use the CD brurner :-).
[06:16] <Warbo> Intangir: ttyS0 and so on are serial ports (as in, real ones on your computer)
[06:16] <puff> How risky/complex is the upbrade process, btw?
[06:16] <puff> Er, upgrade.
[06:16] <mooseman089> hmmm anybody ever mess with x10 before?
[06:16] <puff> That laptop is running a fairly old ubuntu (from around july 2005).
[06:16] <Intangir> are there any virtual serial ports? or some kind of socket files i can send and listen on?
[06:16] <puff> I've been meaning to upgrade it.
[06:16] <michael117> I upgraded to dapper from breezy yesterday. I have two sound cards (one onboard and another pci one) and blacklisted the onboard one as I had previously but now I am not able to hear sounds in most programs like firefox unless the program specifically allows me to select which device to use (like XMMS). How can I fix this?
[06:17] <ferosss> hey how hard would it be to change from an amd64 install to an i686 install without loosing settings?
[06:17] <Warbo> Intangir: I think tty0 and those are fake serial ports which act like old fashioned terminals on a mainframe (the consoles you get on ctrl-alt-f1 to f6)
[06:17] <bLanK> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/FromWindows is not working for me... it still try to detect for a cd...
[06:17] <hastesaver> puff, yes, it's possible. Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto and/or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/FromWindows
[06:17] <Intangir> how do i use them?
[06:17] <bLanK> anyway to install from a disk image?
[06:17] <Intangir> ferosss: i wouldnt try it
[06:18] <CaBlGuY> DShepherd:  will do, I got yur phone# right here.. ;o)
[06:18] <Intangir> just reinstall x86 fresh and copy stuff over..
[06:18] <Warbo> Intangir: tty0 and up are the consoles you get when pressing ctrl-alt-f1 up to f6 (press ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to GNOME or KDE)
[06:18] <DShepherd> earthen: i havent forgetton you. I'm looking for a help page but I havent found one. have you found anything yet?
[06:18] <Lancellor> Hi Guys a quick question i have a compaq armada M700 with p3 500mghz - 198 ram 20 gig hard drive  and dvd room  can i run ubuntu or should a try xubuntu??? thanks i just need this laptop for basic stuff
[06:18] <DShepherd> CaBlGuY: kool!
[06:18] <spartan23> what logs should i check to see what is crashing my system when i switch to another console?
[06:18] <spartan23> my screen turns to garbage
[06:18] <Rawplayer> Lancellor: just install ubuntu
[06:18] <pppoe_dude> Lancellor, prolly better off with xubuntu
[06:18] <DShepherd> earthen: by the way... what's your problem? that's if your having one
[06:18] <Shadyman> spartan23: dmesg
[06:18] <pppoe_dude> Lancellor, although all should work
[06:18] <earthen> DShepherd:  no I'm still looking
[06:19] <Shadyman> spartan23: or the xorg logs, wherever they are
[06:19] <Warbo> Lancellor: I think GNOME would run OK, but Xubuntu will always run faster
[06:19] <pppoe_dude> Lancellor, my 550mhz celeron 64mb ram was sluggish with ubuntu
[06:19] <earthen> DShepherd: I'm trying to get my bluetooth mouse to work
[06:19] <spartan23> thanks Shadyman
[06:19] <Shadyman> earthen: give it some cheese.
[06:19] <Rawplayer> pppoe_dude: thats because its celeron and 64mb ram
[06:19] <pppoe_dude> Rawplayer, ofcourse
[06:19] <puff> hastesaver: That sounds cool for windows, how about for an old debian box?
[06:19] <DShepherd> earthen: hehe.. have you tried the bluetooth package for gnome?
[06:19] <michael117> How can I completely disable one sound card to make another one fully load and operate by default in all programs?
[06:19] <Shadyman> Xubuntu rocks
[06:19] <earthen> Shadyman: funny guy!
[06:20] <Shadyman> earthen: I try.
[06:20] <charlotte> does anyone know the server for msn pop mail ?
[06:20] <jarrod06> System Info:
[06:20] <pppoe_dude> Rawplayer, sorry i meant to say 128 mb ram
[06:20] <charlotte> the addres?
[06:20] <pppoe_dude> but celeron sure
[06:20] <DShepherd> Shadyman: i agree
[06:20] <Shadyman> yay for celeries
[06:20] <Moodles> With breezy badger, I could set that machine logs in automatically without having to put a username/pass in.. i can't seem to find the option in dapper drake
[06:20] <Warbo> michael117: alsa-ctl I think (something like that in /usr/sbin) can set the default soundcard for EVERYTHING
[06:20] <jarrod06> System Info:
[06:20] <Schalke1> !cedega
[06:20] <Shadyman> !tell jarrod06 about pastebin
[06:20] <ubotu> To install cedega please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega
[06:20] <earthen> DShepherd: I've installed it but i only seem to get the blutooh filesharing I don't see anything to brows for hard ware
[06:20] <Warbo> michael117: For GNOME apps you can use the preferences
[06:21] <DShepherd> earthen: oh .. ok
[06:21] <Lancellor> ok thanks guys  i will try xubuntu and i will go from there thanks...
[06:21] <Schalke1> whoever programmed that ubotu thing is a genius
[06:21] <michael117> Warbo: What would Firefox be considered?
[06:21] <earthen> DShepherd: the chip is being detected
[06:21] <Schalke1> its so handy
[06:21] <DShepherd> earthen: i have no experience with bluetooth.. so am blind here
[06:21] <Shadyman> michael117: A web browser ;)
[06:21] <jarrod06> question: did my system info just go on everyone's screen?
[06:21] <earthen> DShepherd: dlind leading the blind then it seems! LOL
[06:21] <Shadyman> jarrod06: No, almost, but no.
[06:21] <michael117> Shadyman: O RLY?
[06:21] <halibut> is there any way to get an always on top button next to min/max/close like in KDE?
[06:22] <Shadyman> just the first line
[06:22] <Warbo> michael117: I think Firefox uses ESD (the sound server GNOME likes to use) so try the GNOME preferences. Only REALLY old stuff and non-free stuff needs to be changed by ALSA directly
[06:22] <blind> I'll lead anyone :)
[06:22] <jarrod06> what first line
[06:22] <Shadyman> !yarly
[06:22] <ubotu> Shadyman: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:22] <Shadyman> hahaha
[06:22] <DShepherd> earthen: :-D
[06:22] <hastesaver> puff, try one of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=netboot&titlesearch=Titles
[06:22] <Shadyman> !orly
[06:22] <ubotu> from memory, orly is YA RLY!!!
[06:22] <bLanK> This procedure should be possible using a disk image, but it may be necessary to use a different kernel and pass some special argument in menu.lst to tell it to boot from the CD image (Has been achieved using Knoppix).
[06:22] <earthen> DShepherd: :)
[06:22] <bLanK> anyone know how?
[06:23] <DShepherd> earthen: have you checked the forums?
[06:23] <hastesaver> ubotu no, orly is <reply>YA RLY!!!
[06:23] <ubotu> hastesaver: okay
[06:23] <frood> Yay. X is working now. Kinda.
[06:23] <DShepherd> blind: hehehe
[06:23] <Shadyman> !tell michael117 about yarly
[06:23] <earthen> DShepherd: not yet I only got my upgrade from breezy completed about 10 min's ago
[06:23] <wastrel> anyone else having trouble with palm pilot sync in dapper?
[06:23] <Anusien> AAARGH1
[06:23] <michael117> !tell Shadyman about orly
[06:24] <DShepherd> earthen: ok.. check the forums. you may be in luck
[06:24] <ferosss> anyone know how to get SiS driver to do openGL in ubuntu, 3D games don't work..
[06:24] <frood> Next question. My windows install is on 2 mirrored Maxtor 300GB drives. Can I get ubuntu to see and mount these as a single drive so as not to break the mirroring?
[06:24] <Shadyman> michael117: Lol
[06:24] <michael117> !tell Shadyman about rofl
[06:24] <michael117> Is there one for rofl?
[06:24] <Shadyman> !tell ferosss about xgl
[06:24] <jadaz87> !offtopic
[06:24] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[06:24] <wastrel> halibut:  i think you can do that
[06:24] <earthen> DShepherd: maybe I wonder if ubotu knows
[06:24] <wastrel> stop fooling with the bot
[06:24] <Shadyman> kay.
[06:24] <halibut> wastrel, any ideas?
[06:24] <DShepherd> earthen: ask him.. or her.. or  it.... watevea
[06:24] <earthen> !tell earthen about bluetooth
[06:25] <earthen> DShepherd: it the ubuntu bot
[06:25] <disinterested_pe> ok, im trying to install mplayerplug-in 3.25 tar.gz and when i run the command it says to run i get mplayerplug-in not found why is that?
[06:25] <wastrel> halibut:  alt-f2 and then type gconf-editor
[06:25] <eigenlambda> disinterested_pe: aren't you supposed to use apt to install software?
[06:25] <wastrel> halibut:  then go to apps->metacity->general->button_layout
[06:25] <Warbo> disinterested_pe: Is there a mozilla-plugin-mplayer package? That would seem the obvious way
[06:26] <disinterested_pe> im not i did cd desktop
[06:26] <wastrel> halibut:  i'm not sure whether metacity has an always on top or a "sticky" button, however...
[06:26] <hastesaver> puff, did that help?
[06:26] <eigenlambda> [daesotho@Pavel:~ ^_^] $ apt-cache search mozilla-mplayer
[06:26] <eigenlambda> mozilla-mplayer - MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla
[06:26] <eigenlambda> yup
[06:26] <Warbo> wastrel: Right click titlebar "Always on visible workspace" and "Always On Top"
[06:26] <eigenlambda> apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[06:26] <disinterested_pe> well those plugins dont get the streamlink station i want
[06:26] <eigenlambda> mozilla-mplayer is the mplayer plugin
[06:27] <poje> Has anyone else had the scrolly bit of their laptop's touchpad stop working when upgrading to Dapper?
[06:27] <eigenlambda> if mplayer doesn't have the right codec
[06:27] <eigenlambda> then look for the codec
[06:27] <farous> eigenlambda: what is your prob with mozilla-mplayer you can not just run it it is used to open media streams in firefox
[06:27] <halibut> wastrel, how on earth was I meant to find that? heh
[06:27] <disinterested_pe> ive downloaded the plugin suggested by the site
[06:27] <halibut> I thought gnome was meant to be simple? but kde has these options obvious to the user
[06:28] <poje> KDE never saw a checkbox they didn't love ;)
[06:28] <Warbo> disinterested_pe: I got loads of stuff working with the Nemo Codec pack (search for it in Google) installed in WINE, then I copied all of the .dlls it made in /home/chris/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 into /usr/lib/codecs
[06:28] <farous> eigenlambda: sorry seems my message for wrong person
[06:28] <poje> And halibut, KUbuntu is perhaps for you then?
[06:28] <hastesaver> !tell disinterested_pe about restricted
[06:28] <tom__> hey guys cab I have a hand?  I upgraded to dapper and now eth0 has vanished of the face of the earth, I'm not entirely sure where to start.
[06:28] <ghozt> where can I check the version of my graphics drivers?
[06:28] <TigerWolf> anyone else having problems with the flash? www.guildwars.com doesnt show up propelry with the firefox flash plugin installed
[06:28] <MaKkY> hastesaver, i am following the install directions....
[06:28] <hastesaver> disinterested_pe, it is not a good idea to install stuff by yourself (from .tar.gz files) on Ubuntu, use the repos. It's easier and safer.
[06:28] <puff> hastesaver Reading the netboot page.
[06:29] <halibut> poje, I have both installed, but when I use kde things like progress bars all look very ugly and win-95 ish
[06:29] <disinterested_pe> ok thanks
[06:29] <tom__> How can I force ubuntu to have another go and configuring my networking?
[06:29] <Warbo> halibut: Install "kcontrol" package and run it
[06:29] <poje> halibut: yes; I like the clean feel of Gnome but I completely agree that sometimes they simplify things a little too far
[06:29] <MaKkY> hastesaver: it tells me to type 'make'; i do; yet i get an error..... it tells me "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."
[06:29] <DarkMageZ> TigerWolf, yeah, it's alittle off here, but not unstable
[06:30] <halibut> poje, the screensaver window even seems to have lost a fullscreen preview button?!
[06:30] <poje> MaKkY: are you in the right directory?
[06:30] <Warbo> MaKkY: You need to run "./configure" first
[06:30] <wastrel> tom__:  system->administration->networking
[06:30] <MaKkY> warbo, i hav done that
[06:30] <MaKkY> have*
[06:30] <poje> halibut: I need to check that out - ubuntu is on my laptop and I suppose I should boot it up
[06:30] <Warbo> MaKkY: "ls | grep Makefile" anything come up?
[06:30] <farous> TigerWolf: i think there is an extr command you need to run sudo update-flashplugin
[06:30] <hanasaki> how do i get gpg tp go thru my squid http proxy?
[06:31] <TigerWolf> farous:  I have
[06:31] <TigerWolf> farous: It takes ages then stops
[06:31] <MaKkY> Warbo, the following came up...............Makefile.am         Makefile.in
[06:31] <farous> TigerWolf: frankly i downloaded the flash installer from their site and used it without a glitch
[06:31] <michael117> Warbo: Still no sound in firefox and I couldn't find alsa-ctl
[06:31] <Warbo> MaKkY: Hmmm. No regular Makefile. Does configure give an error? You may need to install some libraries
[06:31] <TigerWolf> farous:  Does www. guildwars.com show up fine for you?
[06:32] <Intangir> how do i output from a file directly to console
[06:32] <Intangir> while the file is still being written..
[06:32] <Warbo> michael117: Is this sound in Flash?
[06:32] <farous> TigerWolf: give me a min
[06:32] <wastrel> Inazad:  tail -f
[06:32] <wastrel> Intangir:  tail -f
[06:32] <MaKkY> hold ill retry FULL installation steps one more time... [Warbo]
[06:32] <michael117> Warbo: On youtube
[06:32] <GigaClon> so Dapper is final?
[06:33] <DarkMageZ> TigerWolf, things aren't layering correctly for you?
[06:33] <Shadyman> GigaClon: Yes.
[06:33] <michael117> GigaClon: yes
[06:33] <GigaClon> nice
[06:33] <farous> TigerWolf: yes have no problems
[06:33] <Shadyman> GigaClon: Yes. ;)
[06:33] <Warbo> michael117: That is Flash. You need to make sure that Firefox is opened when no other application is using sound. If you were listening to music or something before then quit Firefox and start it up again and sound should be back
[06:33] <Intangir> how do i read from like a 'serial' device to the console?
[06:33] <jarrod06> how's nyc doing wastrel?
[06:33] <Intangir> like watch a device to see which one of thsee is my mouse
[06:33] <Intangir> or which is my soundcard's mic
[06:33] <Intangir> its not a real file
[06:34] <Intangir> right?
[06:34] <wastrel> jarrod06:  cool and drizzly
[06:34] <MaKkY> warbo, when i try to login using 'su' & i type my password, i get error.... "su: Authentication failure. Sorry."
[06:34] <Warbo> michael117: If you put a Youtube video on pause you may find that no other apps can use sound until you close it. It is a problem with the non-free Flash plugin
[06:34] <Shadyman> MaKkY: use sudo instead
[06:34] <Shadyman> !tell makky about sudo
[06:34] <earthen> DShepherd:  I got it working thanks for you help
[06:34] <Warbo> MaKkY: Use "sudo -s -H" instead (su is disabled for non-root users)
[06:34] <Schalke1> howcome blender runs slower in ubuntu on a 3ghz celeron d with 1gb of ram than it does in windows me on a celeron 900 with 128mb of ram?
[06:34] <farous> michael117: firefox use oss by default you can install alsa-oss and then run aoss firefox. you will have sound mixing this way
[06:35] <DShepherd> earthen: sure.. though i didnt do much
[06:35] <wastrel> what's blender?
[06:35] <Schalke1> wastrel: a 3d modeller
[06:35] <Warbo> wastrel: 3D modelling/animation program (and quite a bit more too)
[06:35] <DShepherd> something we cook with at times :)
[06:35] <orbin> Schalke1: do you have your VC drivers installed?
[06:35] <wastrel> Schalke1:  your video card.
[06:35] <kdean06> Is Fujitsu areound tonight?
[06:35] <frood> I've got 2 maxtor 300GB disks forming a RAID mirror for my windows install. How can I get kubuntu to mount them so I don't break the mirror?
[06:35] <earthen> DShepherd: that ok you took that time to look and that all that matters sometimes
[06:36] <DShepherd> earthen: ok.. happy dapper to u
[06:36] <puff> hm, it sez here something about "ubuntu serveredition" but the download link just lists ubuntu. Is that a selection in the installation process?
[06:36] <Schalke1> orbin: yes i have them installed
[06:36] <Warbo> puff: You can install server which gives a minimal system (no graphics)
[06:36] <Shadyman> puff: You can download the server edition.
[06:36] <Warbo> puff: Type that on boot prompt of install CD
[06:36] <Shadyman> puff: The mirror you chose may not show it correctly.
[06:37] <earthen> DShepherd: LOL yup this mouse is working fine it's slow on my laptop but quite responsive on the desktop
[06:37] <Warbo> Shadyman: OK, didn't know there was one (I upgraded so I haven't touched a Dapper CD)
[06:37] <Shadyman> earthen: It needs more cheese ;)
[06:37] <Shadyman> Warbo: Ah
[06:37] <Shadyman> for example, http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/
[06:37] <DShepherd> earthen: ok
[06:37] <earthen> Shadyman: LOL she's got it now she's running like you wouldn't beleve
[06:38] <Shadyman> earthen: Yay!
[06:38] <kdean06> I'm having problems importing Ogg files into Rhythmbox. I'm getting "Unknown MIME type". Can someone help me out with this?
[06:38] <Warbo> kdean06: They are OGG Vorbis aren't they? (Oggs can be movies as well)
[06:38] <shrump_jimbo> phew! just upgraded to dapper
[06:39] <mooseman089> hmmm how would i make par2 work on all files in a folder and maybe sub folders?
[06:39] <aTypical> shrump_jimbo, and what do you think so far>
[06:39] <kdean06> Warbo: Yes, there audio only. I ripped them from CD with Sound Juicer from another distro.
[06:39] <aTypical> ?
[06:39] <MaKkY> warbo, error: cannot find libusb support
[06:39] <shrump_jimbo> well, I don't see much of an end user difference
[06:40] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone else here had problems with installing the bootloader on dapper w/ multiple harddrives that still do or used to have windows?
[06:40] <Warbo> kdean06: Hmmm. I don't use Rhythmbox myself, but I've had no problems in the past. I know Amarok only looks at files if they end in .ogg ....
[06:40] <ghozt> does ubuntu have somewhere where I can get all the information about this computer? (hardware, drivers, etc) ?
[06:40] <MaKkY> Warbo, "error: cannot find libusb support"
[06:40] <Warbo> MaKkY: It will not make the Makefile until that is fixed. Look in Synaptic
[06:40] <kdean06> Warbo: I can't stand Amarok, personally.
[06:40] <slavik> ghozt: lspci for the hardware and lsmod for the drivers
[06:40] <MaKkY> Warbo, know the name of the file?
[06:40] <zcat[1] > ghozt: lshw or system > admin > device manager
[06:40] <slavik> or that
[06:41] <ghozt> thanks alot slavik and zcat
[06:41] <slavik> zcat ... go eat a zdog :P
[06:41] <TigerWolf> DarkMageZ: Yes - things arent layering properly
[06:41] <Warbo> kdean06: I am in Fluxbox at the moment because I am in a slow machine running my system from a USB1 drive. But I still have Amarok open to hog all of the CPU :)
[06:41] <slavik> ghozt: zcat is a real command too ;)
[06:41] <zcat[1] > lshw covers more than lspci :)
[06:41] <TigerWolf> DarkMageZ: There a fix for the layering at all?
[06:41] <shrump_jimbo> 'cept I had to reinstall xchat and mplayer
[06:41] <Warbo> MaKkY: Sorry. Try searching
[06:41] <ghozt> lol whats zcat do
[06:41] <slavik> lspci gives a lot of info ... with -v too
[06:41] <DarkMageZ> TigerWolf, not that i'm aware of, it does the exact same on mine
[06:41] <zcat[1] > gzip -dc
[06:41] <wastrel> zcat is cat for gzipped files
[06:41] <ghozt> ohh
[06:42] <slavik> yes, what wastrel said
[06:42] <kdean06> Warbo: For me, it's a feel. Only Rhythmbox, Banshee and lSongs manage to get it right.
[06:42] <zcat[1] > zcat does the same as gzip -dc .. decompresses zipped files to stdout
[06:42] <TigerWolf> DarkMageZ: Damn! Thanks anyway
[06:42] <triskal> Hey everyone.  Anyone use Ubuntu with a Mac in here?  I'm having some trouble with the install, hoping to see about some help
[06:42] <kdean06> Warbo: In the opposite order. :-)
[06:42] <Shadyman> PSA: There is a slashdot article on Dapper Drake at http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/03/1416201&from=rss
[06:42] <Warbo> kdean06: Never tried Banshee but I know it is popular
[06:42] <kyath> did anyone here get azureus workng probably
[06:42] <kyath> on dapper
[06:42] <TigerWolf> farous: You didnt have any layering problems?
[06:42] <AlwaysIcey> How do I cd into my USB flash drive?  dmesg shows it as sda but if I try cd /sda or cd /dev/sda I get not a valid file or directory.
[06:42] <slavik> kyath: hoping for some answers, too
[06:42] <FunnyLookinHat> kdean06, i use banshee, i love it
[06:43] <farous> TigerWolf: yes i had some of those prob
[06:43] <Shadyman> !tell AlwaysIcey about mount
[06:43] <kyath> i heard u can upgrade it to the beta version and its fine
[06:43] <TigerWolf> kyath - My az is working
[06:43] <kdean06> FunnyLookinHat: It's a bit to skittish still, but it will be the best. Are you using it on Dapper?
[06:43] <Warbo> AlwaysIcey: That is the device. You need to mount the filesystem on it first (should automatically be put in /media/usbdisk I think. Check in there)
[06:43] <nf4> daper is kinda sweet
[06:43] <kyath> Tigerw..:which version u got?
[06:43] <FunnyLookinHat> kdean06, yea dapper
[06:43] <zcat[1] > Hmmmm .. I wonder if a more recent version if glx will work on this tnt2 card now.
[06:43] <nf4> all my system tools are moved about
[06:43] <kdean06> FunnyLookinHat: And no problems importing Ogg fiels out of the box?
[06:43] <wycats> Has anyone had any success getting VMWare to work on Dapper Drake
[06:43] <kyath> on my one azureus works but u cant see it on the system tray
[06:43] <gr33npho4nix> annybody usingn vmware in dapper?
[06:44] <wycats> lol
[06:44] <Shadyman> lol
[06:44] <wycats> gr33n... I'm getting an error
[06:44] <nf4> but its tight becouse you just have to right click a dvd and select copy to iso and it makes a iso for you
[06:44] <FunnyLookinHat> kdean06, oh i've never tried, sorry
[06:44] <wycats> doesn't support the kernel
[06:44] <AlwaysIcey> If it's connected at boot, then it should be mounted automatically right?
[06:44] <FunnyLookinHat> kdean06, too lazy to convert all my mp3s
[06:44] <nf4> you dont even need any fancy tools or anything
[06:44] <Warbo> zcat[1] : Generally the latest version is always best, even on older hardware (unless you are talking REALLY old) because unlike windoze, if you disable the newer feature the latest version of programs is generally smaller than the older versions
[06:44] <kdean06> FunnyLookinHat: :-) All my music is Ogg.
[06:44] <TigerWolf> kyath:  Use - sudo apt-get install azureus
[06:44] <wastrel> palm sync with evolution is broken in dapper - gpilotd keeps crashing.  any ideas how to fix this?  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187239
[06:45] <gr33npho4nix> its not a kernel problem, it will build the modules from the headers
[06:45] <MaKkY> Warbo, " error: cannot find cups-devel support"
[06:45] <gr33npho4nix> its an issue with libpng i think
[06:45] <kyath> got azureus installed already
[06:45] <TigerWolf> kyath:  Im using <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:45] <gr33npho4nix> let me get the exact error
[06:45] <triskal> Can anyone point me in the direction of some help with an install of Dapper Drake on a PPC?  Trying to install it on an external USB drive.. but can't get it to install the yaboot bootloader
[06:45] <wycats> gr33n: it won't build the modules
[06:45] <wycats> refuses
[06:45] <kyath> thats the version im using aswell
[06:46] <TigerWolf> kyath - What the exact problem?
[06:46] <Warbo> MaKkY: Generaly the "packagename-dev" packages are needed if you want to compile software (for example, xmms might only need libvorbis to play Ogg files, but to compile xmms you will need libvorbis-dev)
[06:46] <zcat[1] > Warbo: yeah. I tried before and xgl didn't like the card because textures had to be sized in powers of two.. once these updates are finished I'm gonna try a newer cersion and see if anyone fixed that. Otherwise I might just have to get a new card. xgl and compiz are just too cool to live without!
