[06:26] <cafuego_> cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=<whatever> -v -data -eject /path/to/your/iso
[06:26] <Digerati> tonyyarusso: i was told that edgy comes supported with nvidia
[06:26] <cafuego_> hdc *might* be atapi:0,1,0
[06:26] <lordkeiden> LinX: thats not bad as I intend on keeping this lappy for at least 4 years.
[06:26] <yellow> bryroz, i accidentally remove apcid service from running at startup and i had some weird keyboards problems
[06:26] <yellow> removed*
[06:27] <DarthLappy> I've just apt-get installed ratpoison. How do I run it now? It's not in gdm.
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> Digerati: Not out of the box I imagine.
[06:27] <LinX> yeh its good and FAST
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: 'ratpoison' maybe?  /me looks
[06:27] <yellow> bryroz,  then i  put it back on init and things's back to normal
[06:27] <bryroz> Alright, how i do i fix it?
[06:28] <Perryman> could someone advise me of what files i should back up to my /home partition from / so that i can downgrade from edgy to dapper?
[06:28] <yellow> bryroz,  i got bum package, from bum I set what runs at startup
[06:28] <ewood> Man...  Drive is "in use"
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: /usr/bin/ratpoison
[06:28] <ewood> Why is it doing this?
[06:28] <yellow> search repository for bum
[06:28] <ewood> I told it to ignore when I inserted it.
[06:28] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: It says it can't open the display.
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Is X running?
[06:29] <Jordan_U> How do I find out what ATI card I have if lspci just tells me "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 71c5"
[06:29] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: At the moment, yes.
[06:29] <Jordan_U> ?
[06:29] <bryroz> Thanks  a lot!
[06:29] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Maybe you have to specify an X display.  'DISPLAY=:0 ratpoison'
[06:29] <cafuego_> Jordan_U: run 'sudo update-pciids'
[06:29] <ewood> I'll just try restarting and then burning. Le sigh
[06:29] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: Connection refused.
[06:30] <Perryman> someone told me the /etc folder might have some configuration files?
[06:30] <cafuego_> Perryman: all of /etc
[06:30] <lordkeiden> gotta go! gonna break wifi with network manager again!
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Err, not sure at this point.  (never used it)

[06:30] <Jordan_U> cafuego_: thanks :)
[06:30] <Perryman> cafuego: so i should back up /etc to home when reverting to dapper
[06:31] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: It's just a blank X, right?  Not gdm?

[06:37] <darkmatter> ok
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U: Ah.  :(  Um, you've tried the 'ati' one too?  If nothing, I guess try fglrx, but it's the devil too...
[06:37] <DarthLappy> kitche: Thanks.
[06:37] <ThomazLeite> Anybody can help me with listen 0.5 beta on edgy?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> tonyyarusso: Yeh, I tried both, X doesn't crash but the screen is completely distorted, it would be cool looking if it didn't make everything unusable :)
[06:39] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U: forums?  /me crosses fingers

[06:43] <kitche> DigitalNinja: why do you want to go into runlevel3?
[06:43] <yellow> bryroz,  search for it in repo and reinstall it, that might help

[06:45] <juano__> help: yw :-)
[06:45] <jutty> by the way its wired
[06:45] <jutty> and netgear
[06:45] <SammyF> kitche: when Grub gives an error 17, just get the guy to reinstall grub using the advices on the HOWTO page. That helped :)
[06:45] <bryroz> yellow, i am not that fluent in terminal...
[06:45] <bryroz> noob
[06:46] <bryroz> i had just installed bum
[06:46] <bryroz> i didnt search for it
[06:46] <bryroz> dunno how
[06:46] <kitche> SammyF: yeah there is many ways to fix stuff had to go though the first stuff first to see if it works
[06:46] <juano__> kitche: i thought sudo init 3 stoped the other run levels
[06:46] <DigitalNinja> wow its nice to see a channel on irc with such friendly people. Never thought id see that....
[06:46] <SammyF> kitche: and ask him first how late it is at his place. if it's past 1AM, just tell him to sod off and to come back the day later, or he'll smegg up as I did and delete his XP installation by mistake :)
[06:46] <FirstStrike> all the angry people are banned
[06:46] <yellow> bryroz,  system >> administration >> synaptics package manager
[06:46] <juano__> kitche: it stops level 5 though
[06:47] <jutty> does my router have to be hooked up for <IP_ADDRESS> to come up
[06:47] <SammyF> kitche: good thing is : my ubuntu install is still there, so it will just keep me from playing some of the games for awhile ;)
[06:47] <bryroz> Thanks
[06:47] <kitche> juan__: yes but X doesn't run on level 5 on ubuntu or debian
[06:47] <yellow> bryroz,  then search for acpi
[06:47] <SammyF> kitche: anyway ... just wanted to thank you.  I'm a noob. :D
[06:47] <juano__> kitche: ooh.., thats weird, how come init 5 starts X ?
[06:48] <w0rd> jutty, are you trying with it unplugged?
[06:48] <kitche> SammyF: bye anywyas it's 1 am here also :P
[06:48] <jutty> sort of
[06:48] <w0rd> rofl plug it :P
[06:48] <yellow> bryroz, mark acpi and acpid, then click apply
[06:48] <jutty> the internet doesnt work with it unhooked
[06:48] <Hellevator> err I mean does anyone here use Beagle and if you do, does it slow down your computer
[06:48] <yellow> that should be it
[06:48] <mneptok> Shionjin: hi! i'm a magical fairy princess with a winged unicorn with flowers all over me!
[06:48] <kitche> juan_: because that's how it's setup but everything in ubuntu and debian is in runlevel 2 in reality
[06:48] <Shionjin> Whoo! You're pretty, Mneptok.
[06:48] <bryroz> yellow thanks
[06:48] <cafuego_> Hellevator: I sue beagle, it doesn't really slow it down after everything has been indexed. But if you have less then 1GB ram, perhaps don't use it.
[06:49] <w0rd> jutty,  what exactly is the problem?
[06:49] <jutty> nointernet through my router
[06:49] <yellow> bryroz, synaptics is the GUI tool to search + install packages
[06:49] <w0rd> but without it its fine?

[06:50] <w0rd> jutty, hook up your router and try either <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> in firefox
[06:50] <bryroz> yellow, they are selected
[06:50] <burepe> If I install a program that is not from the repos what directory should I keep it in?
[06:50] <jutty> think the settings should work with ubuntu?
[06:50] <kitche> burepe: either /opt or /usr/local
[06:51] <w0rd> the OS doesnt matter
[06:51] <jutty> i also saw this router claimed linux compatibility
[06:51] <jutty> ok im outta here thanks man
[06:51] <yellow> bryroz, it means they are installed in your system, there should be an entry for acpid in bum
[06:51] <kitche> jutty: routers are os independent
[06:51] <w0rd> exactly
[06:52] <bryroz> yellow, i reinstalled them, im going to check again.  You said in services starrtup
[06:52] <xfrost> Hello, I use Xubuntu. How can I made that thunderbird open the links in a new tab in firefox?
[06:53] <yellow> bryoz, system >> administration >> boot up manager (bum)
[06:54] <yellow> acpid should be listed as one of the entries
[06:54] <juano__> xfrost: when you right click the link, does it give any option ?
[06:54] <X5-452> How can I see how long has been the system turned on?
[06:54] <xfrost> Just the copy link location options.
[06:55] <xfrost> juano__: It just give me the copy link option.
[06:55] <coobra> american.edu
[06:55] <coobra> heh
[06:55] <bryroz> yellow, im either blind or it really is not there.
[06:55] <yellow> bryroz, how did you install bum ?
[06:55] <juano__> xfrost: and when you click it nothing happens? with ctrl or shift ?
[06:55] <bryroz> termainl, in root
[06:55] <yellow> apt-get ?

[06:56] <Sindri> Or, copy to clipboard and rm file?
[06:56] <BlenderKitty> hey, can anyone tell me how to add a new site to apache?
[06:57] <yellow> bryroz, then try sudo bum at command line
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, add a VHOST for it.
[06:57] <BlenderKitty> k
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: Or, maybe that's not what you meant
[06:57] <juano__> xfrost: mm cause it works for me, i just click it and then i go to my firefox window and the tab shows at the end, it doesnt pop up but if you go there it links you to the address
[06:57] <bryroz> i have
[06:57] <BlenderKitty> tonyyarusso: I want to specify a new directory for a website
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: Could add something in /etc/apache2/sites-available, if you're adding SSL or something, or just want them separated.
[06:57] <juano__> xfrost: <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[06:58] <juano__> xfrost: thunderbird version ?
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: That's easy, just use the DocumentRoot setting
[06:58] <w0rd> xfrost, I dont know if this could cause the problem but try setting firefox as default browser
[06:58] <bryroz> does apcid stand for anything?
[06:58] <Sindri> what's the terminal command for 'cut'?
[06:58] <juano__> w0rd: yea that would be a good idea

[06:58] <ThomazLeite> what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[06:58] <juano__> xfrost: try w0rd suggestion, set firefox as default browser
[06:59] <xfrost> w0rd: That was the first thing I made.
[06:59] <Sindri> ThomazLeite, apt-get is for use with the terminal... aptitude is a gui to use apt-get.
[06:59] <xfrost> juano__:  That was the first thing I made.

[06:59] <Sindri> what's the terminal command for 'cut'?
[06:59] <ThomazLeite> Sindri, well... I've just used aptitude on terminal, and it installed a package apt-get could not install
[07:00] <madbox> If i were to click the scroll button in what would that be
[07:00] <madbox> mouse3?
[07:00] <w0rd> Sindri, ctrl-alt-backspace
[07:00] <Sindri> ThomazLeite, weird. I'm probably misinformed, I was speaking from experience.
[07:00] <Sindri> w0rd: *voice of innocence* REALLY? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *sindri has quit*
[07:00] <Sindri> w0rd: very funny.
[07:00] <w0rd> Sindri, hey, it wouldve been funny
[07:01] <ThomazLeite> Sindri, no problem
[07:01] <Sindri> w0rd: true enough.

[07:02] <Sindri> kitche: Seriously? I have to copy, paste, then go back and delete?
[07:03] <juano__> xfrost: try other links, firefox version ? 2.0 ?
[07:03] <Sindri> I find that very hard to believe.

[07:26] <mrwillob1> hello, I've got an issue.  I just added an eSATA drive and it screwed up my GRUB because from what I can gather by booting this Live CD it comes before my other SATA drives.

Is there a way to reinstall GRUB the way it does so automatically at first install?

[07:39] <bfdhud> Some systems I have been on when the BASH is started it displays ASCII pictures or random quotes. Where is the configuration file that handles that?
[07:39] <xixor> just curious, does anyone happen to know, that in order for suspend to disk and suspend to ram to work, does your swap partition need to be greater than the amount of ram you have on your system?
[07:39] <gaten> does anyone know of a vnc viewer client that run in windows and supports file transfers between the windows computer and the ubuntu remote desktop  server?

[07:40] <juano__> surgy: sudo sh ess1869  ??
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Omer: you need to boot from it
[07:41] <Omer> What do you mean boot?
[07:41] <surgy> juano_: same thing
[07:41] <Jordan_U> surgy: sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh
[07:41] <Moxxon> Hey
[07:41] <Omer> Jordan_U What do you mean boot from it?
[07:41] <frogzoo> xixor: not exactly - ram is compressed before hibernating - also, suspend to ram is independent of disk
[07:41] <Moxxon> I successfully installed WoW onto Ubuntu but when I run it
[07:42] <Moxxon> the screen flickers
[07:42] <Moxxon> the resolution changes
[07:42] <Moxxon> and then nothing happens
[07:42] <Moxxon> BTW I used wine to install it
[07:42] <xixor> frogzoo: ok, just trying to figure out why my sleeping and hibernating my system doesn't work
[07:42] <frogzoo> xixor: so you need ~ ram = swap for hibernate, not for suspend
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Omer: you need to set the computer to boot from the CD instead of windows, do you know what the BIOS is?
[07:42] <juano__> Jordan_U: does that make a symbolic link to the bash shell in /bin right ?
[07:42] <frogzoo> xixor: you enable laptop mode in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[07:42] <Omer> No...
[07:42] <Moxxon> Anyone know?
[07:43] <xixor> frogzoo: yeah, done that
[07:43] <frogzoo> !appdb | Moxxon
[07:43] <ubotu> Moxxon: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[07:43] <surgy> jordan_U: ln target /bin/sh is not a target
[07:43] <xixor> frogzoo: I have 2 gigs of ram, but only 512 megs of swap, so that could be why my hibernate isn't working
[07:43] <Jordan_U> juano__: it makes /bin/sh link to bash instead of dash
[07:43] <Omer> Jordan
[07:43] <Omer> how do i make it boot from it?
[07:43] <juano__> Jordan_U: ahh ok thanks
[07:43] <frogzoo> xixor: easy way to check - shut down all processes, then try suspend
[07:44] <Omer> ...?
[07:44] <xixor> frogzoo: what do you mean shut down all processes?  like, not use X or anything, then try suspend to ram?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> surgy: sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old
[07:44] <Jordan_U>  sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
[07:45] <Omer> Jordan_U How do i make it boot from the CD?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Omer: This is unfortunately different for every PC, when the computer boots up you should see some message like " press F12 to enter BIOS menu"
[07:46] <juano__> Omer: you need to enter the BIOS Setup and set the boot choice to CDROM first, then Hard disk, but first it has to look for media inside the CDROM
[07:47] <help> I changed my xorg.conf to 1280*1024 but it's not quite right
[07:47] <Moxxon> frogzoo: That website talks about a patch
[07:47] <juano__> Omer: so you can boot from CD
[07:47] <Moxxon> But I cant seem to find it
[07:47] <Moxxon> any idea?
[07:47] <help> is 1280x1024 the right setting?
[07:47] <help> isn't it?
[07:47] <Omer> hmm ok
[07:47] <seravitae> depends on the native res of your monitor
[07:47] <Omer> so i restart my comp
[07:47] <help> I have LCD
[07:47] <Omer> and make it boot from the CD?
[07:47] <Omer> And how do i make it
[07:47] <help> on windows it's 1280x1024
[07:47] <help> I think
[07:47] <help> or numbers close to it
[07:47] <cafuego_> 17"?
[07:48] <help> 19"
[07:48] <Omer> so that i can switch from ununtu to windows?
[07:48] <bulmer> help: what suits your eyes?
[07:48] <cafuego_> 1280x1024 then, yes
[07:48] <juano__> help: yeah that number is fine
[07:48] <help> so the only thing I have to do is edit xorg.conf?
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Omer: you need to press whatever key it says to press in the message that displays quickly at boot, you have to be quick, it's kind of annoying :)
[07:48] <help> because it doesn't look right
[07:48] <cafuego_> help: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'

[07:50] <xixor> Hey everyone, so, I have a notebook with a dual core cpu, not too sure how to ensure that the other core is operating.  Do you need to use an SMP kernel for dual core cpu's?
[07:50] <Jordan_U> help: you shouldn't loose your nvidia settings as long as you choose nvidia ( NOT "nv" ) as the driver
[07:50] <ademan> xixor: ues
[07:50] <ademan> yes*
[07:50] <Jordan_U> xixor: in Edgy I think the generic kernel has SMP support
[07:50] <juano__> xixor: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:51] <juano__> xixor: youll get details of your Processor in there
[07:51] <xixor> juano__, so, I've done that, but don't see anything about dual core
[07:52] <Jordan_U> xixor: if you open System -> Aministration -> System Monitor you should see a graph for both CPU's

[07:53] <Moxxon> oh
[07:53] <AzMoo> juano__, yeah, that's what I mean by "fstab seems to be working".
[07:53] <juano__> AzMoo: remember its ntfs-3g and not ntfs
[07:53] <xixor> juano__, Jordan_U : nope, looks like only 1 CPU is there.  So the solution is to install an SMP kernel I take it?
[07:53] <Moxxon> I dont have any gfx drivers
[07:53] <Moxxon> whould that stop me from seeing wow?
[07:53] <juano__> AzMoo: sudo mount -a

[08:01] <Enselic`> Does anyone know where the output if the i810 graohics driver is located?
[08:01] <juano__> surgy: how about:  bash ess1869 ?
[08:02] <surgy> juano_: cannot execute binary file
[08:02] <cafuego_> juano__/surgy: no
[08:02] <cafuego_> surgy: 'sudo modprobe ess1869'
[08:02] <cafuego_> surgy: In fact, I think you'll even want the alsa driver.
[08:02] <thespirit> can anyone help me in connecting my wireless data card please?
[08:03] <thespirit> huawei ec321
[08:03] <xixor> so, I have the linux-image-generic package installed, which I hear provides SMP support, but /proc/cpuinfo still shows only a single cpu, also, uname -a does not show an SMP kernel.  Is there something else that needs to be done to use the SMP kernel?
[08:03] <surgy> cafuego: modprobe doesnt show anything and whats the alsa driver
[08:03] <juano__> cafuego_: what does modprobe actually do ? i really dont know
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: modpriobe isn't *supposed* to show anyting; that means the driver is loaded successfully.
[08:04] <surgy> cafuego_: i ment that it shows that it cannot find that module
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: The alsa driver is called 'snd-es1968'. That is what you want loaded at bootup.
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: 'sudo modprobe snd-es1968'
[08:05] <cafuego_> juano__: it load drivers into the kernel.
[08:05] <cafuego_> sorry, 1869 *doh!*
[08:05] <juano__> cafuego_: ahh ok, thanks :-)
[08:05] <cafuego_> snd-es18xx
[08:06] <cafuego_> surgy: If 'sudo modprobe snd-es18xx' works OK, you can add 'snd-es18xx' on a line by itself in /etc/modules
[08:06] <surgy> cafuego: modprobe snd-es1968  had no output that means its loaded
[08:07] <cafuego_> surgy: Ye-es, except that's for a PCI card, which the 1868 is not.
[08:07] <surgy> cafuego: just like that? just add "snd-es1896" to the line?
[08:07] <surgy> ok
[08:08] <surgy> cafuego: ok so 1968 was found but 1896 was not
[08:09] <Hellevator> quick question, when launching an app from terminal what is the option to release it from terminals control?  like for gedit for example.
[08:09] <jzl> Hello, looking for a bit of help. Very new to ubuntu (*nix in general)... I was wondering why I can't stream my media from a windows server (share) and play on my ubuntu workstation?  I can play locally if I bring the file over... just not streaming
[08:09] <wounded> gedit &
[08:09] <surgy> cafuego: dint find 1868 either
[08:09] <Hellevator> jzl, how are you trying to stream it?
[08:10] <surgy> cafuego: how do i add the module so that i can use my sound card?
[08:10] <jzl> by stream it: i guess i mean just "play it" like when the folder is share is mounted on the desktop "clicking" to open it. (sorry.. very newb)
[08:10] <Enselic`> Hellevator: you mean 'gedit &' ?
[08:10] <surgy> !ntfs
[08:10] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:11] <surgy> !ntfs jzl
[08:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs jzl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:11] <jzl> yeah.. it is ntfs :
[08:11] <jzl> is that bad?
[08:11] <surgy> so read that link
[08:11] <Hellevator> Enselic`, wounded, when I typed gedit & file1   It opened blank gedit and told me command file1 can't be found
[08:11] <surgy> yes windows sucks
[08:11] <jzl> lol
[08:12] <jzl> ok, I will read the link... thanks for the direction.
[08:12] <surgy> np
[08:12] <Hellevator> jzl, i think you can do it somehow.  What about with Tangerine?
[08:12] <jzl> @surgy: LInk is down
[08:12] <Enselic`> Hellevator: & needs to be last
[08:12] <Enselic`> Hellevator: it's not a flag
[08:13] <Hellevator> Enselic`, ahh thanks. that works
[08:13] <jzl> Hellevator, Very Very new to *nix... my first install. Not sure what Tangerine is
[08:13] <XDy> can anyone tell me what this means :\
[08:13] <XDy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4232/
[08:13] <Enselic`> Hellevator: i.e. its not something you pass gedit, but you tell the shell to run it in background at start
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: you can also first start gedit with 'gedit' then use Ctrl + Z to suspend it, then write 'bg' to start the process in bg
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: that is the same as starting it with &
[08:14] <Hellevator> Enselic`, are there any other commands like that? I mean other than &?
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: 'fg' brings it back to forward
[08:14] <Hellevator> Enselic`, good to know
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: 'jobs' list processes you can bg and fg
[08:14] <andy> hey, what package includes the c++ calls dup and dup2
[08:15] <Enselic`> Hellevator:  bg %2 backgrounds job #2
[08:15] <Hellevator> jzl, check out this url http://www.snorp.net/log/tangerine/
[08:16] <Enselic`>  Hellevator there are a bunch of other "commandline tricks", like piping etc, but I suggest you look for them in a any linux starters guide of chosie :p
[08:16] <Hellevator> yeah, im actually doing just that.
[08:16] <Hellevator> just got lazy and didn't want to look up the answer to this one.
[08:17] <Hellevator> i didn't know how to explain my question to the index in the back ;)
[08:17] <_Rappy_> in sessions, I've set two sshfs commands to connect to two different servers. However, only one seems to automatically connect me to the server when I boot my PC. The other don't (yes, I've triple checked that the command is correct). Anyone got an idea what might be wrong?
[08:17] <Enselic`> Hellevator: yeah I usually ask here first as well
[08:17] <Enselic`> Hellevator: especially if I don't know what a feature is calle
[08:17] <Enselic`> d
[08:18] <surgy> well i guess ill learn to live with no sound on my laptop
[08:19] <andy> is there a package I have to install to be able use dup and dup2?
[08:20] <jzl> Hellevator, thanks for the link.  however, im looking of something to where I can access all my files.  I have a ton of media on there. (TV Shows, Movies, Pictures, and Music) all sprawled out on a couple of 250gb HDs.  (within windows server 2003) I just want to have access to them.. is it even possible?

[08:24] <Hellevator> heh, cool i guess
[08:24] <Hellevator> Omer200, what happens when you try to boot from the cd, did you do a file integrity check?
[08:24] <train> thanks jzl
[08:24] <train> should I insatll mplayer first?
[08:24] <jzl> Train, np
[08:24] <Enselic`> Omer200: was it an award in linux incompability? :p
[08:25] <Omer200> Hell, It just sends me back to windows
[08:25] <jzl> train, I would.. use automatix
[08:25] <Hellevator> Omer200, do you have your boot sequence set to boot the cd first?
[08:25] <zzz> Omer200: are you sure that you have changed the appropriate settings in you BIOS to boot from the cdrom?
[08:25] <zzz> s/you/your/
[08:25] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:25] <train> jzl automatix F'd my system last time I tried it
[08:25] <train> it uninstalled a lot of things
[08:25] <train> it was odd
[08:26] <madbox> what is super on a windows keyboard?
[08:26] <jzl> Im really not the person to ask.. I am VERY VERY newb.. lol
[08:26] <train> windows key
[08:26] <Enselic`> madbox: the windows key
[08:26] <Omer200> My BIOS Gives me the Boot menu but then it shows me 1st Priorty 2nd priority 3rd etc
[08:26] <train> haha no sweat
[08:26] <train> hopefully this will work
[08:26] <jzl> so I like the automatrix
[08:26] <jzl> lol
[08:26] <jzl> automatix*
[08:26] <madbox> kthx
[08:26] <zzz> Omer200: Are you sure that you have cdrom as the 1st priority?
[08:27] <Hellevator> jzl, when you go to Places => Network Servers => Windows Network does your computer show up? (make sure sharing is enabled on your windows computer
[08:27] <train> ugh that didn't seem to work
[08:27] <Omer200> Yes
[08:27] <picky2001> lsssss
[08:27] <madbox> hrm
[08:27] <jzl> Hellevator, yeah it does.. the entire workgroup does
[08:27] <madbox> windows key doesnt work for super?
[08:27] <madbox> :\
[08:27] <yh> ????
[08:27] <fredl> NetworkManager is such a poorly documented project... :/
[08:27] <mattycoze> hey, does anyone know how to get java runtime environment installed?
[08:27] <madbox> apt-get javaxxx..
[08:27] <yh> ?
[08:27] <madbox> idk what its called but its there
[08:27] <yh> ls
[08:28] <Hellevator> jzl, so using that method you are able to copy the files over but you want to be able to stream them?
[08:28] <Omer200> It just doesn't want to boot from the CD
[08:28] <Omer200> I put the cd in drive E
[08:29] <jzl> Hellevator, more just have permanent access to them.. as if a "mapped drive" within windows
[08:29] <mattycoze> umm madbox what should i write in place of the xx's?
[08:29] <jzl> Hellevator, I can see the files in the share, I just can watch or play media
[08:29] <Hellevator> jzl, AH ok.
[08:29] <Hellevator> jzl, click Places => Connect to Server
[08:30] <Hellevator> jzl, select Windows share and enter in the server name (ip address or computer name)
[08:30] <genii> Anyone using netboot or preseeded cd installs? I still can't get one to auto-add some default user
[08:30] <genii> This is with both Dapper and Edgy
[08:30] <zzz> Omer200: maybe you have to try smartboot manager to be able to boot from the cdrom
[08:30] <jzl> Hellevator, correct... this is what I have been doing
[08:31] <zzz> Is there anyone experienced with smartboot manager?
[08:31] <Omer200> zzz, Where can i get Smartboot?
[08:31] <zzz> Omer200: btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html
[08:31] <rabid_emu> award-winning BIOS can't boot from cd?
[08:31] <rabid_emu> ironic...maybe
[08:31] <Hellevator> jzl, doesn't that effectly map them so you can have single click access to them?
[08:31] <train> god I want to cry
[08:31] <genii> I believe it's a sourceforge ...lag  too slow :)
[08:31] <zzz> Omer200: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html
[08:31] <jzl> I can see it all.. all the mp3 movies and pictures.... but upon click on them to watch or listen.... I get nothing
[08:32] <Omer200> zzz, i haven't insatlled ubuntu yet
[08:32] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:32] <train> I'm afraid if I follow any howto's that have me change resource list, then I"m goign to screw up beryl or something
[08:32] <Omer200> i can't install it since it doesn't want to boot from the CDROM
[08:32] <zzz> Omer200: there are DOS executables as well. You do not need to have Ubuntu installed in order to use smart boot manager
[08:33] <jzl> Hellevator, example.. I am looking at an mp3 file right now.  I would think that clicking on it and opening with totem would play the file
[08:33] <jzl> .. but it dont
[08:33] <Omer200> zzz, I downloaded it and it opens a CMD Window then closes by itself is that supposed to happen?
[08:33] <cables> Is there any difference between irc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and irc.freenode.net/ubuntu, or are they the same channel?
[08:33] <Hellevator> jzl, weird. I just tried it on my computer to make sure.  I double clicked on an mp3 and it loaded in totem and started playing.
[08:33] <jzl> argh!
[08:33] <jzl> lol
[08:34] <zzz> Omer200: You have to run it in a command line, I suppose. Try the following: Start -> Run -> cmd
[08:34] <jzl> Hellevator, is your mp3 on a windows 2003 server share by chance?
[08:34] <Omer200> ok im on the cmd now what?
[08:34] <jzl> could I be dealing with rights issues?
[08:35] <Hellevator> jzl, if you have the mp3 codec instealled in ubuntu and can play mp3s then I'd think it should work.
[08:35] <Omer200> What do i run
[08:35] <Omer200> smartboot?
[08:35] <jzl> Hellevator, my thoughts too.
[08:35] <zzz> Omer200: go to the folder in which you downloaded the smartboot manager.
[08:35] <patbam> hi, does realplay require codecs or something to make sound work?
[08:36] <Hellevator> jzl, what happens if you right click on the mp3 and try to open it with movie player, or another application
[08:36] <Omer200> ok
[08:36] <Omer200> im there
[08:36] <zzz> Omer200: Use "cd" to change directories. I hope that you know some DOS.
[08:36] <jzl> Hellevator, same thing.. let me get you a error reason
[08:36] <Omer200> i don't know DOS though
[08:37] <Omer200> So, what do i put in?
[08:37] <zzz> Omer200: Does your computer boot from its floppy drive?
[08:37] <jzl> Hellevator, "Totem could not play 'smb://MATRIX;jzl@zion/media2/Video/Tv Episodes/Deadwood/Season 1 [Complete] /[s01e01] -deadwood.101.ws.pdtv-lol.[BT] .avi'." "Could not read from resource"
[08:38] <Omer200> no
[08:38] <Omer200> the 1st priorty is CD-ROM
[08:38] <cables> jzl, that's because it's not mounted as a drive. Totem can't read from Samba shares through Gnome's VFS. I'll send you a link on how to mount Samba shares as drives.
[08:38] <zzz> Okay; then execute following: smbinst -d 128
[08:38] <train> I have such a love hate relationship with linux
[08:38] <train> every new thing I try is bound to destroy my system
[08:38] <jzl> Hellevator, NICE.. sounds like we're getting somewhere.
[08:39] <genii> You get a win98se boot disk image from http://bootdisks.com then you make the image from windows onto a floppy. Then you copy the linux install executable onto the floppy. then you boot to the floppy. Then you type in the name of the file you copied to the floppy.
[08:39] <Omer200> zzz i need to excute sbminst -d 128?
[08:39] <zzz> Omer200: Yes; I think so.
[08:39] <Hellevator> train, yeah but you get to have fun doing it :)
[08:39] <Omer200> Ok
[08:39] <Omer200> I excuted it
[08:39] <train> I dont know if I call it fun
[08:39] <Omer200> nothing happend
[08:39] <train> more of torture
[08:39] <zzz> Omer200: Did it give any errors/feedback?
[08:40] <jzl> train... did you run from windows because of vista as I did?
[08:40] <Omer200> no
[08:40] <Omer200> nothing happend
[08:40] <cables> jzl, Hellavator, Totem can't open things from Samba shares that aren't mounted as folders. That's causing jzl's problem. Here's some instructions on how to do that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently?highlight=%28shares%29%7C%28Windows%29
[08:40] <Hellevator> train, then I guess you're going to have to start associating torture with fun :-/
[08:40] <train> haha no jzl
[08:40] <train> I've been running linux off and on for a while
[08:40] <zzz> Omer200: I believe that it installed then... Try to reboot and see if smart boot manager comes up at boot time.
[08:41] <cables> Hellavator, misspelled your nick up there... sry.
[08:41] <cables> *Hellevator, did it again...
[08:41] <jzl> cables, thanks.. I believe that i have tried this before.. Let me read over it and I will report back.. thanks again hellevator thanks.
[08:41] <Hellevator> thanks cables, i have a question though, why am I able to do it without mounting the folder permanently?
[08:42] <Hellevator> jzl, don't worry, thats not something i take offense from
[08:42] <cables> Hellevator, it probably depends on what media player you're using
[08:42] <mysta> what is a virtual package? I'm trying to install the gstreamer firefox plugin
[08:42] <SurfnKid> hi, how can i list the current printers installed on my computer via clil
[08:43] <train> ARGH
[08:43] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:43] <train> damn video codecs for being such boners
[08:43] <SurfnKid> train: yep
[08:44] <daxxar> Hm, what decides wether apt-get pulls 32bit or 64bit binaries?
[08:44] <zzz> Omer200: Are you there?
[08:44] <cables> daxxar, your system architecture is set into the package management system
[08:45] <daxxar> cables: If I change APT::Architecture - can I reinstall a live system to 32bit binaries? (then downgrade the kernel to 32bit)
[08:45] <meshyf> !shells

[08:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shells - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:46] <meshyf> thanks ZZZ
[08:46] <mneptok> daxxar: that is horrifically dangerous. Don't Do That(r).
[08:46] <cables> jzl, what was it?
[08:46] <zzz> meshyf: No problem
[08:46] <daxxar> mneptok: It would've been easier than reinstalling. ;-)
[08:46] <jzl> cables, I forgot one major factor
[08:46] <cables> jzl, was it something really obvious and embarassing? :) please tell
[08:46] <mneptok> daxxar: not really.
[08:46] <jzl> cables,nothing that a little sudo apt-get install smbfs wouldnt help
[08:46] <jzl> ;)
[08:46] <daxxar> mneptok: If for nothing else - the lack of requirement of being there physically. :-p
[08:47] <jzl> this is my first install ever.. I suck at the *nix :)
[08:47] <cables> jzl, that was in the instructions i sent to you :)
[08:47] <jzl> cables, it was

[08:47] <imbecile> hey guys, are there any disadvantages from installing packages from the web? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/  it tells me i should install from "software channel"

[08:47] <cables> everything but the smbfs, zl?
[08:47] <cables> lol
[08:47] <cables> jzl, make sure you go to the troubleshooting section though... I had the problem it mentioned.
[08:48] <zzz> imbecile: Why don't you use: apt-get install "package name" ?
[08:48] <cables> imbecile, even better, use "sudo aptitude install <packagename>
[08:48] <imbecile> zzz i suppose i could but i dont know what im looking for
[08:48] <sexshun> how do i get perl running with apache2?
[08:48] <jzl> cables, will do ! again thanks to both you can HELLEVATOR!

[08:49] <Hellevator> jzl, welcome.  Its not often I am able to help people here :)
[08:49] <Omer> Nothing changed in my BOOT menu
[08:49] <ekimus> hi anyone has information on how te create a single sign on. especially when not all all applications can use pam, ldpap, database (even there I'm forced to different databases, mysql, postgres) I was thinking about using soap as a login part and writing a webinterface that will allow users to change their password which will then populate the different authentication sources. what do you think of that (is there even a pam_soap opti
[08:49] <ekimus> on)?
[08:50] <imbecile> zzz,cables, well what are the disadvantages to installing from the web?
[08:50] <zzz> imbecile: apt-get and aptitude resolve any dependencies a package has. So it is much easier to use these tools than to install from the web.
[08:50] <zzz> Omer: Nothing changed?
[08:50] <ekimus> imbecile: if you are on a slow connection it will take longer. if you have limited traffic it could eat up some of that...
[08:51] <imbecile> zzz, ahh that would be the disadvantage.. thanks
[08:51] <cables> imbecile, it won't get updated automatically, you won't get dependencies, and it takes more work to do it from the web. If you want something similar to the web interface packages.ubuntu.com has, go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[08:51] <Omer> nope, nothing at all
[08:52] <cables> zzz, you're probably right, but I thought Gdebi-installer grabbed deps when you installed from a .deb?
[08:52] <zzz> Omer: Maybe you could try to install smart boot manager on a floppy and then try to boot from the floppy.
[08:52] <zzz> Omer: This would need the floppy drive to be the first priority in the BIOS menu though.
[08:52] <imbecile> so i could just use the web to search them and install in terminal... thanks guys
[08:53] <cables> imbecile, or go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[08:53] <cables> imbecile, that's a graphical way to both search for AND install packages
[08:53] <imbecile> cables, some of the stuff i look for doesnt come up in my synaptic
[08:53] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:54] <cables> imbecile, that's because you don't have all the repositories enabled. I'll send a link in one second. If it doesn't show up in Synaptic, you won't be able to install from the terminal.
[08:54] <meshyf> Anyone know something that I can do to spice ubuntu up? Fresh install is so plain and boring.
[08:54] <cables> meshyf, gnome-look.org themes
[08:54] <zzz> !repository
[08:54] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource

[09:00] <cables> !offtopic | marina
[09:00] <ubotu> marina: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:00] <imbecile> oh she was serious ;P
[09:00] <train> question
[09:00] <train> this is a good oen
[09:01] <train> one
[09:01] <cables> train, i'm excited. The suspense is killing me :)
[09:01] <train> why is it when I try to remove the totem-mozilla plugin it tries to uninstall ubuntu-desktop as well
[09:01] <cables> train, totem-mozilla is part of ubuntu-desktop.
[09:01] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop | train
[09:01] <ubotu> train: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:01] <marina> hi.............
[09:02] <cables> marina, this is the support channel for a computer operating system called Ubuntu. If you need help with Ubuntu, this is the place to be. Otherwise, find another channel
[09:02] <train> how do I safely remove it cables
[09:03] <cliff_b> Hi folks.  Can someone point me to a page that explains how to cluge java, flash, and shockwave into Firefox on this 64 bit Ubuntu 6.10?
[09:03] <cables> train, you can remove ubuntu-desktop if you like. Just remember to re-install it when you upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version
[09:03] <mneptok> cliff_b: no kludge required. use Synaptic and tho additional repos.
[09:03] <mneptok> *the
[09:03] <train> what does ubuntu-desktop include?
[09:03] <cables> train, removing ubuntu-desktop is the only way to remove totem-mozilla. I know, it kills me too :)
[09:04] <mneptok> cliff_b: and there is no Shockwave for Linux.
[09:04] <train> is that including gnome and everything
[09:04] <mneptok> train: yes.
[09:04] <cables> train, it isn't a piece of software in itself. It just exists for the purpose of installing the ubuntu desktop packages all at once, for instance if you're using Kubuntu and want to try the regular ubuntu desktop
[09:04] <cables> removing it doesn't remove Gnome or anything
[09:04] <cliff_b> tks mneptok.  I tride synaptic, added sun Java 1.5, but no joy in my browser.
[09:05] <train> uuuuuugh
[09:05] <train> I think I might just dive into the mozilla plugins folder
[09:05] <train> rip it out with my teeth
[09:05] <cables> train, i know... it feels sorta wrong, but it doesn't hurt anything to remove ubuntu-desktop
[09:05] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop
[09:05] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:05] <cables> see, ubotu agrees
[09:05] <mneptok> cliff_b: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[09:05] <train> it will remove gnome
[09:05] <cables> train, no it won't.
[09:06] <train> so I uninstall totem-mozilla and take u-desk with it
[09:06] <train> thne just reinsatll?
[09:06] <cables> train, i will try to explain what ubuntu-desktop is
[09:06] <mneptok> train: what are you trying to *do*?
[09:07] <cables> train, say you're using Kubuntu (a variant of Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome) and you want to try regular ubuntu. Installing the package ubuntu-desktop will install everything a regular Ubuntu install has. That's the only reason it exists.
[09:07] <train> remove totem-mozilla < the plugin for viewing media in firefox
[09:07] <mneptok> train: why?
[09:07] <myworld122> hi..can anybody help me. I tried to install ubuntu but at some point my monitor cannot display the image. I've tried the safe mode but it's still the sam
[09:07] <imbecile> anyone ever use tilda?
[09:07] <train> because I want to use mplayer plugin instead
[09:07] <cables> train, don't reinstall ubuntu-desktop, because it'll just put totem-mozilla back
[09:07] <cliff_b> mneptok: is there a special repo?  I get a "plugin not available, but is referred to by another source...." error
[09:07] <foo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - this is for edgy... can I do it on dapper? I don't seem to find a dapper guide
[09:07] <train> because it can actually play file formats other than "open source" formats
[09:07] <mneptok> cliff_b: it's in Universe
[09:07] <pseudomorph> anyone able to help with getting the mozillia-mplayer32 plugin working in a 64bit environment?
[09:08] <cables> train, totem can play anything. I'll send you to a page to help you install the codecs. No need to remove anything.
[09:08] <mneptok> train: so just install the mplayer plugin.
[09:08] <train> I dont like totem
[09:08] <train> =P
[09:08] <train> I like mplayer
[09:08] <train> the fast forward feature works smoothly
[09:08] <cables> train, good point.
[09:08] <train> as does the fullscreen to none full screen switch
[09:08] <cliff_b> tks mneptok, I"ll make sure universe is enabled
[09:08] <train> mplayer is raw like winamp used to be
[09:08] <train> and I love it
[09:09] <mneptok> "raw?"
 Woosh.
[09:09] <mneptok> heh. i have heard mPlayer called many things. that sure ain't one of them ;)
[09:09] <cables> train, mplayer plugin isn't the same as mplayer...
[09:10] <train> how so?
[09:10] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[09:10] <train> whats the best firefox media plugin
[09:10] <train> because mplayerplugin isn't that great either
[09:10] <cables> train, i use totem... it works fine.
[09:10] <cables> train, if you want totem plugin to play restricted formats, here's a guide.  It's a one-command fix.
[09:10] <cables> train, if "normal" formats
[09:11] <cables> train, sorry, pasted the wrong thing

[09:11] <myworld122> hi..can anybody help me. I tried to install ubuntu but at some point my monitor cannot display the images. I've tried the safe mode but it's still the same
[09:12] <mneptok> myworld122: try the alternate CD and a text mode install
[09:12] <fredl> damn, does *anybody* here use NetworkManager???
[09:12] <myworld122> mneptok: alternate cd as in?
[09:12] <imbecile> do i d/l the x11 and sdl to run doom or just the data?
[09:12] <meshyf> !shortcuts
[09:12] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[09:13] <cables> myworld122, go to the page you got the Ubuntu CD from, and choose Alternate instead of Desktop
[09:13] <mneptok> myworld122: as in te CD image with "-alternate" in its name on every Ubuntu mirror ;)
[09:13] <system_> hey guys , isnt there is any dowload manager ?
[09:13] <cables> system_, in what?

[09:19] <Deviad> I'm using x86 Ubuntu
[09:20] <Deviad> Should I try x86_64 to fix my problem?
[09:20] <trelayne> hi all. I have very very annoying problem. I have two ext3 partitions. Very often (every couple of days or so)  one of the partitions is remounted read-only because of some detected bad block. This started suddenly and I have no idea what is causing it. I suspect some program. Is there any way to determine what mind have happened prior to the remounting?
[09:20] <Deviad> Is a problem of Kernel settings so that I should enable or disable framebuffer acording to what I get now?
[09:20] <Deviad> Is it*
[09:21] <Erealz> anyone know how to get the defoults back on beryl?
[09:24] <cliff_b> trelayne: I might suspect hardware, run a confidence test on your hard drive.
[09:25] <train> hey a while back there was a script that would automatically find my NTFS partitions and moutn them on boot up and put an icon for them on my desktop
[09:25] <train> anyone aware of this?
[09:25] <trelayne> cliff_b: confidence test?
[09:25] <J-_> Erealz: go into your home folder, view>show hidden folders, then delete .emerald and .beryl and that'll do it
[09:25] <Magicdead> can anyone tell me how i can get the scroll wheel on my keyboard to work (keyboard model is trust DS-4500X)
[09:25] <imbecile> ubuntu doesnt detect my other hdd.. you think the hdd is fried? i havent used it in awhile
[09:25] <cliff_b> trelayne: download utilities from the drive manufacturer's website.  Make a boot floppy.
[09:26] <trelayne> ok I see... thanks.. it's a relatively new HD
[09:26] <cliff_b> trelayne: Maxblast (for Maxtor), etc
[09:26] <J-_> Erealz: reload after that
[09:26] <trelayne> thanks again
[09:26] <mneptok> trelayne: have you run fsck on the drive?
[09:26] <trelayne> yeah I have
[09:26] <mneptok> -y -f ?
[09:26] <trelayne> mneptok:  I have to do that each time
[09:27] <genii> trelayne Even hd right out of the factory it is normal to have up to about 5% bad blocks and so on. Normally the filesystem marks them as in use so they don't get used.

[09:32] <genii> imbecile Make it ext2 then use tunefs on it after
[09:32] <Lice> mneptok what if i use ext3?
[09:32] <imbecile> because it cant detect it
[09:32] <mneptok> you label it. you then create a partition. you then forwat that partition as ext3.
[09:32] <mneptok> Lice: http://fs-driver.org
[09:33] <genii> the hex partition number is 82
[09:33] <imbecile> well the hardrive doesnt even show up in gparted
[09:33] <genii> that means some hardware issue then
[09:33] <mneptok> imbecile: then check cables an jumpers
[09:34] <Deviad> Can anyone help me with my problem?

[09:42] <mneptok> concept10: huh?
[09:43] <mikea> i haven't Touchpad section in my xorg.conf but my touchpad works in the same time as mouse. I would like to turn it off but I have problems. I can't add SHMConfig "on" because of missing touchpad section.
[09:43] <concept10> mneptok, once again dont address me
[09:43] <FuzZy2007> guoki, i don't even pass the boot splash
[09:43] <KomiaPoika> hi
[09:43] <mneptok> concept10: please take the chip off your shoulder.
[09:43] <FuzZy2007> the one where it writes ubuntu and a line is moving
[09:43] <SurfnKid> KomiaPoika: hi
[09:43] <gouki> FuzZy2007, using the Alternate CD or the Live CD?
[09:43] <FuzZy2007> this one looks weird :(
[09:43] <concept10> mneptok, No more, please, I ask.
[09:43] <genii> holy crap
[09:44] <FuzZy2007> live cd
[09:44] <imbecile> troll be gone
[09:44] <imbecile> hehe
[09:44] <SurfnKid> uh oh
[09:44] <SurfnKid> lol
[09:44] <zzz> root___: You should not run as root!
[09:44] <SurfnKid> one, two a one two three four
[09:44] <SurfnKid> boom
[09:44] <gouki> I second zzz, root___
[09:44] <genii> FuzZy2007: Ah, you may need some special kernel options if it is a dual-core then. like noacpi ond one other which I need to look up
[09:44] <SurfnKid> ok now we can get back to ubuntu
[09:45] <Jowi> Hellevator, "find / -name filename
[09:45] <aalhamad> how can i enable auto spelling check in opensoffice.. (the red line under the word which is miss types)
[09:45] <FuzZy2007> ok ... thx a lot
[09:46] <SurfnKid> this is why I watch other sports
[09:46] <root___> Im stuck.... I have loaded up Ubuntu 6.10 but it won't boot. I'm currently in safe mode. It gets to the where the little round thinking/waiting mouse thing is spinning and then it freezes
[09:47] <Imsdle> Im stuck.... I have loaded up Ubuntu 6.10 but it won't boot. I'm currently in safe mode. It gets to the where the little round thinking/waiting mouse thing is spinning and then it freezes
[09:47] <Imsdle> oops.. sorry
[09:47] <xhaan> does anyone know a way to take like 100 files with spaces in thier names and change the spaces to hyphens or underscores? :p
[09:47] <imbecile> concept10 is messaging me saying hes gonna remove your "privs" mneptok
[09:47] <CarinArr> Does anyone know what package provides libimf.so ?
[09:47] <gouki> Imsdle, we didn't mean your nickname. You should not run IRSSI as root.
[09:48] <Jowi> xhaan, "rename 's/ /_/r' *.mp3"
[09:48] <xhaan> awesome, thanks
[09:48] <Imsdle> I have no choice!!!!!!! I can't boot
[09:48] <Hellevator> jowi, this tells me the file's full path but not the partition really.  What I'd like to know is like if its on /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda3
[09:48] <Jowi> Hellevator, "mount" will show you where a path is mounted
[09:49] <Jowi> Hellevator, for example the file is in /home/Jowi/test.mpg. my mount show /home to reside on /dev/sda6. so test.mpg is in sda6 partition
[09:49] <x-r00t-x> CAN ANYONE F...ing HELP ME? WITH TTY ?
[09:49] <x-r00t-x> huh?
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > hey, can someone help me? my friend's trying to get wpa working under ubuntu
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: uh, could you chill out?
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: Ask.. if someone knows, they will help. If not, sit tight and wait.
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> hello. i got problem with ubuntu. /dev/console error. any idea?
[09:50] <genii> FuzZy2007: Do you know how to enter the grub prompt during boot?
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> i asked 1000 time in 1 hour
[09:50] <Hellevator> jowi, thats does work however its very clumsy to do within a shell script :(
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: Can you elaborate?
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > anyone?
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> i cannot reinstall ubuntu either.
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > wpa under ubuntu?
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> i guess yeah
[09:51] <Jowi> x-r00t-x, what's the error?
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> press a key
[09:51] <gouki> !wpa
[09:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> but i don't know any command
[09:51] <gouki> !wpa > [Alex_G]
[09:51] <Imsdle> can someone tell me how tell me why ubnutu would boot in safe but not in normal? What log files can I look at..
[09:52] <Dh3Y0> hi
[09:52] <xixor> so, quick question, my wifi driver ipw3945 works using the single core 386 kernel, but when I use the generic (SMP enabled kernel) to get both cores working, it no longer works.  I found a forum post saying that installing the package linux-686-smp package would fix it, but that wasn't it.  Does anyone have any suggestions? linux-686-smplinux-686-smp
[09:52] <zzz> !wpa | [Alex_G]
[09:52] <ubotu> [Alex_G] : Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:52] <genii> FuzZy2007: OK, so go into the grub prompt before it starts booting. There it gives some options to edit the boot parameters. Find the default one, and add to the options:  notls noacpi    then boot with those options. If it works, put those options into the file /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:52] <Dh3Y0> anyone know about hydrogen
[09:52] <[Alex_G] > yeah, got it
[09:52] <Jowi> Imsdle, depends on when it hangs. if it hangs while Xorg is started then have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:53] <Hellevator> Dh3Y0, hydrogren? as in ruby on rails hydrogen?
[09:53] <Dh3Y0> Hellevator; as in audio software
[09:53] <Dh3Y0> drum machine
[09:53] <genii> FuzZy2007: With dual-core cpus the notls is to make sure one cpu doesn't race, it gets stuck at 100% while the other is not used sometimes.
[09:53] <cornelinux> hello, I am running ubuntu 6.06lts with spamassassin e. al.
[09:53] <Hellevator> Dh3Y0: oh, no sorry
[09:54] <Jowi> xhaan, sorry, my mistake "rename 's/ /_/g' *.mp3" (or whatever filename)
[09:54] <cstextiles> Require Ubuntu Repostories in CD ISO format Is it available for download at any site?
[09:54] <FuzZy2007> i see
[09:54] <cornelinux> What is the best way to update spamassassin to a newer version (3.1.5) when it is not in the repos?
[09:55] <FuzZy2007> but live cd doesn't have any grub .. this is after the install?
[09:55] <Jowi> xhaan, the "g" is to make the rename not stop at the first space
[09:55] <genii> cstextiles: Since the repositories are about 31 gigabytes, there is no iso image of them
[09:56] <genii> cstextiles: If you require a complete copy of the repositories for some reason, use the apt-mirror tool
[09:56] <xhaan> Jowi: hmm.. do i need a special program to use that? didnt work
[09:56] <cstextiles> genii: I actually require the repository because my Ubuntu machine is not connected to Internet and so need to download the package from other machine
[09:57] <genii> cstextiles: Are these machines at different locations, or the same place but one is just not hooked to internet?
[09:57] <FuzZy2007> genii, how do i solve that weird looking boot splash?
[09:57] <Jowi> xhaan, what do you mean? what error did you get?
[09:58] <xhaan> Jowi: no error, just didnt work
[09:58] <cstextiles> genii:Is there any way by which by specifying the metapackage conveys me the dependencies that need to be installed for installing any package. My machines are at different locations
[09:58] <genii> FuzZy2007: Sorry, didn't see that issue... the splash screen is messed up or something?
[09:58] <Jowi> xhaan, what did you type?
[09:58] <Jowi> xhaan, no error means it work. maybe you typed something wrong.
[09:58] <xhaan> rename 's/ /_/g' *.mp3 do i need the quotes also?
[09:59] <xhaan> i pasted it :0
[09:59] <genii> cstextiles: There is some method in the command dpkg which can list the dependencies. You would need to check the man page, I do not know the syntax offhand
[09:59] <Jowi> xhaan, that will replace all spaces in the filename with underscores.
[09:59] <cyphase> Virgin's New In-Flight Computers running Linux: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=609i-OhFhoQ&eurl=
[09:59] <Jowi> xhaan, that's what you asked for :)
[10:00] <cstextiles> genii: ya but it will not list only the missing dependencies?
[10:00] <xhaan> yup, they still have the spaces though
[10:01] <xhaan> Soilwork - Weapon of Vanity.mp3 < spaces
[10:01] <Jowi> xhaan, make sure you stand in the directory where you want to rename and try again.
[10:01] <xhaan> am :0
[10:01] <genii> cstextiles: Well, there is a fast way I sometimes use, which is to put  apt-get build-deps <packagename>   which will try to download and compile the source packages
[10:01] <genii> It gives a comprehensive list
[10:02] <xhaan> would a symlink stop it from working?
[10:02] <Jowi> xhaan, so check the filepermissions to make sure they are not write protected.
[10:02] <Jowi> xhaan, no idea if it works with symlinks (never tried)
[10:02] <zzz> Jowi: It should work with symlinks.
[10:02] <xhaan> ill try from the actual dir
[10:02] <xhaan> and permissions are correct
[10:03] <FuzZy2007> genii
[10:03] <FuzZy2007> i disabled quiet splash to see what happens
[10:04] <xhaan> it isnt the symlink either
[10:04] <FuzZy2007> now ... it stops at settings console font and keymap
[10:04] <Jowi> xhaan, "rename 's/TextToReplace/ReplaceWithThis/g' filenamepattern" works fine.
[10:04] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:04] <FuzZy2007> i gave notls and noacpi at bootparameters
[10:05] <CarinArr> does anyone know if there's a package that provides libimf.so? I would really appreciate some help with this!
[10:05] <genii> FuzZy2007: Hi. Did it get you up and running?
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> the bootsplash looks weird (black-white, a couple of artifacts, the moving bar leaves a trail)
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> no
[10:05] <genii> ew lthat doesn't sound good
[10:05] <Jewfro-Macabbi> CarinArr, did you try "aptitude search libimf.so"?
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> stops at settings console fonts and keymap
[10:06] <oem> hi all
[10:06] <Bu-Omar> hello ... Is there a firefox plug-in for asf video ?
[10:06] <FuzZy2007> mplayer connectivity
[10:06] <xhaan> Jowi: thats exactly how im doing it... oh well, its no big deal :0
[10:06] <gouki> CarinArr, if you use apt-get or aptitude to install the software you want, libimf will be installed (if it is a dependency)
[10:06] <hacosta> does anyone here run virtualbox
[10:06] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, you need w32codecs
[10:06] <cstextile1> genii: Sorry connection problem and so the last message recieved of yours is "genii: cstextiles: Well, there is a fast way I sometimes use, which is to put  apt-get build-deps <packagename>   which will try to download and compile the source packages"
[10:07] <Jowi> xhaan, the files are in your homedir?
[10:07] <st3v3n_r0y> foo , sorry dude . i got dc
[10:07] <xhaan> theyre not in my home dir but i have permissions and ownership of them
[10:07] <genii> cstextile1 Yes, that usually gives a comprehensive list of what dependencies that package has. Of course it will try to go get them and fail, but you still get the list of depnedencies
[10:07] <st3v3n_r0y> foo, x-r00t-x is me. i guess its problem with ex3-fs.
[10:08] <Jowi> xhaan, and it's not an ntfs partition or fat32?
[10:08] <keymone> hi guys
[10:08] <keymone> 'n girls ;)
[10:08] <xhaan> its ext3
[10:08] <genii> FuzZy2007: I think you need to reinstall
[10:08] <Bu-Omar> Jewfro_Macabbi: I have w32codecs already. But I am unable to view the video within the browser
[10:08] <st3v3n_r0y> whatever :P
[10:08] <keymone> can somebody help me?
[10:08] <Jowi> xhaan, that is strange. no idea why it doesn't work for you...
[10:08] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, ah, you probably need some of the gstreamer plugins, or something like that, check the wiki multimedia page
[10:08] <genii> FuzZy2007: What dist are you trying to put on?
[10:08] <cstextile1> genii: Ya but what about the package that dependency may depend on and which may not be present in the Ubuntu machine
[10:09] <FuzZy2007> ubuntu edgy eft
[10:09] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:09] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, it lists all the stuff you need to get your multimedia going
[10:09] <genii> cstextile1 As for that I do not know.
[10:09] <st3v3n_r0y> ext3-fs problem . what i do to fix it?
[10:09] <keymone> how do i set up rp-pppoe in ubuntu if i do not have internet and cannot write "sudo apt-get install build-essential"?
[10:09] <imbecile> i installed doom it should be in "games" right?
[10:10] <th0mz> hi, anybody has an idea how to get auth on ldap working ? it's buggy on edgy
[10:10] <th0mz> (bug 51315)
[10:10] <feld> keymone: get the required packages downloaded on a CD or something and take them to that computer?
[10:10] <Jewfro-Macabbi> keymone, download the .deb file and burn it to a disc
[10:11] <keymone> feld: Jewfro-Macabbi: how do i know what is build-essential package?
[10:11] <genii> FuzZy2007: You may want to try the alternate install CD, do a basic command-line install then after do something like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, possible under the "debian", then games.
[10:11] <imbecile> i installed doom it should be in "games" right?
[10:11] <imbecile> ahh thanks Jewfro-Macabbi
[10:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> keymone, google for build-essential.deb +ubuntu or +edgy, whichever you are using
[10:11] <keymone> Jewfro-Macabbi: thanks, i'll try
[10:11] <genii> keymone build-essential should be on the cdrom
[10:12] <Jewfro-Macabbi> genii, it doesn't come with the install disc
[10:12] <trollboy> anyone here running cisco vpn
[10:12] <keymone> genii: i downloaded desktop installation
[10:12] <genii> Jewfro-Macabbi: Damn
[10:12] <keymone> yep, damn (
[10:14] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  what do you mean under the "debian" sorry im new to ubuntu
[10:14] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, under you applications menu you might have a debian group, you can also try running doom from command line
[10:15] <genii> !build-essential
[10:15] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:15] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:15] <FuzZy2007> genii, will dual core support be added in feisty fey?
[10:15] <genii> bah no repo name there
[10:15] <genii> !info build-essential
[10:15] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[10:15] <FuzZy2007> for now i'll just install sabayon :D
[10:16] <Shadowpillar> what's some good dvd authoring software for linux?
[10:16] <genii> FuzZy2007: There is dual cpu support already by default by way of the SMP kernel. But specifically dual-core cpus have an issue on first install. after install they work fine
[10:16] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  so i would just type doom in the command line right?
[10:16] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, correct
[10:16] <CarinArr> gouki, i can't use apt-get or aptitude to install the software i'm afraid
[10:17] <imbecile> no luck :( maybe i dont have all the stuff installed
[10:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Shadowpillar, QDVDauthor is one choice
[10:17] <gouki> CarinArr, do you mind telling what software you're trying to install?
[10:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, I always had problems w/the old doom also actually now that I think about it...
[10:18] <valehru> would there be a reason why my usplash screen keeps going fuzzy when I restart/shutdown the computer?  It's perfect when it boots up...
[10:18] <CarinArr> gouki: well, i'm beta testing a graphics application;)
[10:18] <genii> keymone: Which distribution do you need build-essential for?
[10:18] <CarinArr> which for some reason has dynamically linked libimf.so which seems to be a library related to the intel c compiler
[10:18] <keymone> genii: edgy
[10:18] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  can you recommend any good linux fps?
[10:18] <genii> keymone OK 1 minute
[10:19] <Madpilot> imbecile, there's a Linux installer for Enemy Territory
[10:19] <gouki> CarinArr, yes, it is. Have you checked if there is a .DEB package of that software? It may not be on official repositories, but you may find it on sites like getdeb.net
[10:19] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, Doom 3 works good :), but there are several Alien Arena is pretty good.
[10:19] <imbecile> Madpilot,  Ill give it a try
[10:19] <valehru> imbecile, Unreal Tournament 2004 has one as well...
[10:20] <gouki> imbecile, I have to say that Open Arena is very good!
[10:20] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, you can actually install all the UT games on linux
[10:20] <imbecile> thanks you guys..wow looks like i asked the right question... hehe
[10:20] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, Postal 2 is available for linux also, it's fun
[10:21] <gouki> imbecile, if you want to install Open Arena, GetDeb.net has it packaged. After installing just apt-get install -f to take care of the only dependencie the game has.
[10:21] <mm2000> hello, anyonw here knows how to setup exim4 mail-server?
[10:21] <imbecile> all these are source right?
[10:21] <valehru> mneptok, coke came out through my nose at that one...
[10:21] <keymone> did somebody tried World of Warcraft on ubuntu?
[10:21] <CarinArr> gouki: there isn't a .deb package, the software isn't publically available.
[10:22] <valehru> keymone, works perfectly in cedega and wine I think.
[10:22] <Jewfro-Macabbi> valehru, you may want to be careful using the words "coke" and nose, LOL
[10:22] <keymone> valehru: ok, thanks :)
[10:22] <CarinArr> so unfortunately, short of getting them to link the library statically, i need libimf.so
[10:22] <valehru> Jewfro-Macabbi, haha'
[10:22] <gouki> CarinArr, yes, there is a package for it! In case you didn't noticed, I'm talking about Open Arena!
[10:22] <mneptok> valehru: New Phlegm Coke ... taste the histamines!
[10:22] <imbecile> mneptok,  hehe this is my tame nick.. ive used this for years.. people who speak french always ask me if i know what it means

[10:22] <mneptok> imbecile: c'est la meme chose en Anglais.
[10:22] <gouki> CarinArr, my bad dude! I forgot what I was talking about with you.
[10:23] <valehru> mneptok, but just with a very cool french accent
[10:23] <imbecile> hehe.. that explains it ;P its always the french people who comment on my nick
[10:23] <mneptok> valehru: oui, ou Quebecois .... >:)

[10:28] <mneptok> all of us. let's move on.
[10:28] <valehru> anyone here have some experience with usplash?  Does it flicker for anyone else when shutting down gnome?
[10:29] <genii> http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/pub/distro/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/build-essential_11.3_i386.deb
[10:29] <keymone> genii: maybe you know. my edgy connected to LAN and have internet through rp-pppoe. there are 2 other computers i want to allow them to use internet through that edgy. what packages should i also install? it will be kind of a router yes?
[10:30] <valehru> !usplash
[10:30] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[10:30] <genii> keymone If you have 2 network adapters in there you can use NAT
[10:31] <keymone> genii: no i have only 1
[10:31] <keymone> genii: but rp-pppoe is some kind of modem emulation.. so maybe it is second?
[10:32] <genii> keymone No it will still use eth0 at the bottom
[10:32] <genii> keymone It would be better just to purchase a cheap router. they are about $20 or so these days
[10:33] <aidehua> I have 1GB of data.  What's the best way to record it to multiple CDRs?
[10:33] <yomm> when I install NVIDIA 9746
[10:33] <keymone> genii: well.. it is in my home :) i don't want to turn it into labyrint of cables
[10:33] <mneptok> aidehua: tar + cut
[10:34] <CarinArr> yomm?
[10:34] <aidehua> It would be desirable to be able to retrieve the data easily from the Cds.
[10:35] <KomiaPoika> i am imbecile. how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:35] <yomm> when I install NVIDIA 9746 drivers on Feisty ,they work when i log in without rebooting .. but when I reboot I get error that x finds a convlicting 7184 module .. any clues ?
[10:35] <CarinArr> yomm: try using envy to install your nvidia driver
[10:35] <CarinArr> er
[10:35] <imbecile> hehe
[10:35] <CarinArr> yomm, i had that quite a lot before, try using envy to install your nvidia drivers
[10:36] <CarinArr> !envy
[10:36] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[10:36] <loka> hmmm, my amarok still isn't playing mp3's. Do I have to make some configuration changes after installing libxine-extracodecs ? maybe there is a howto page
[10:36] <loka> ?
[10:37] <CarinArr> loka: did you install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[10:38] <loka> in the process
[10:38] <CarinArr> loka: tho to be fair i don't have that installed and i play mp3s fine in my amarok
[10:39] <CarinArr> maybe try installing libk3b2-mp3?
[10:39] <genii> keymone How are the computers talking to each other right now? By wireless, then the network adapter for the DSL?
[10:40] <arn_> hi, is there any Microsoft Visio type modeling tool for Ubuntu? where i can draw UML diagrams, including database diagrams. I tried Dia, but i thik its not for database diagram
[10:41] <predius> arn_: dia
[10:41] <predius> ah
[10:41] <feld> arn_: dia is the program; it's not that great. i've heard lots of people use like inkscape and do custom drawings
[10:41] <valehru> arn, dia can do db diags
[10:41] <valehru> arn, does erwin have a linux installer?
[10:42] <arn_> valehru, i didn't get db diagram drawing components for db.
[10:42] <keymone> genii: well everything is much complex now. i had only 1 windows computer and it was connected to LAN with ip <IP_ADDRESS>. then i got second computer and i could not connect it to that LAN because i had ip conflict error at any 10.2.*.* ip so i added to first computer ip <IP_ADDRESS> and made second computer to use <IP_ADDRESS> and set up usergate proxy to use internet on second. first one uses and provides internet to second only through ppp
[10:42] <loka> CarinArr:it works NICE!!! .uisai(happiness strong).i'o(appreciation)ki'e(thanks)
[10:42] <arn_> valehru, i don't know, but i can take a look
[10:42] <keymone> genii: and i don't have any ideas how to make this on edgy :)
[10:43] <gibbs> Anybody know how to change the mouse cursor direction in aMSN? I think it's for left handed people :\
[10:43] <cbx33> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Screenshot-6.png anyone know what the right hand panel is in this screenshot?
[10:44] <valehru> cbx33, looks like a gdesklet, not sure though......seems pretty big for it..
[10:45] <cbx33> thanks valehru
[10:45] <[Elsa] > Hye! I need help, My default Mozilla Firefox (Firefox 1 right?) on my Ubuntu got crash after update Flash Player 9. So how i can uninstally that plugin or uninstall that Firefox then reinstall?
[10:46] <predius> [Elsa] : remove l/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:46] <[Elsa] > thanxs predius
[10:46] <[Elsa] > is that u mean using terminal then type ==> remove l/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:47] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu
[10:47] <feld> [Elsa] : how did you install the plugin?
[10:47] <feld> was it autoinstalled through the browser?
[10:47] <[Elsa] > i install after i read from adobe web site, a page that i update flash player
[10:47] <[Elsa] > feld: nop, i have to download then using terminal
[10:47] <genii> keymone You should simplify your setup LOL. I would still say to get a router. But if you don't want one, then I would hook the linux box to internet modem. Then if you know the adapter which the other systems connect to that box using, then do something like:
[10:47] <genii> $sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[10:47] <genii> $sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[10:47] <genii> Where eth1 is the name of your adapter which the other computers connect thru.
[10:48] <feld> [Elsa] : it is in your home directory then
[10:48] <predius> [Elsa] : sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so or rm .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:48] <feld> rm -f .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:48] <ivx> hey on ubuntu.com there was a page that tells how to install support for mp3 and w32 codecs, i can't find it. can anyone shoot me a link
[10:48] <[Elsa] > feld: home directory mean?
[10:48] <feld> else-: run that in the terminal
[10:49] <feld> [Elsa] : run that in the terminal
[10:49] <[Elsa] > predius: [Elsa] : sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so <-- this is a terminal command to uninstall plugin?
[10:49] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ivx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[10:49] <feld> [Elsa]  dont run that command it is wrong
[10:49] <predius> ivx: [Elsa]  to remove it, yes
[10:49] <[Elsa] > feld: ic.. ok now i run it terminal
[10:49] <[Elsa] > <feld> [Elsa]  dont run that command it is wrong <-- ark?
[10:49] <feld> predius: dude that's totally wrong
[10:50] <hacosta> anyone running virtualbox?
[10:50] <[Elsa] > huhuhu
[10:50] <keymone> genii: the point is that i have no internet modem :) i have only 1 eth0 on edgy which is connected to LAN where some kind of rp-pppoe server located
[10:50] <predius> feld: enlighten me
[10:50] <feld> predius: he installed it into his home directory
[10:50] <ivx> Jewfro-Macabbi, that's it, thanks
[10:50] <KomiaPoika> i am imbecile. how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu?
[10:50] <predius> feld: then all that's going to say is "not found"
[10:51] <genii> keymone Please if you can pastebin the results of the command   ifconfig  then I will examine your adapter setup.
[10:51] <imbecile> i am imbecile
[10:51] <keymone> genii: i'll do that when i'll get home and setup rp-pppoe there :) thank you for build-essential!
[10:51] <genii> keymone np
[10:52] <KomiaPoika> no, I am imbecile !! crucify ME !!
[10:52] <[Elsa] > duh feld...
[10:52] <genii> KomiaPoika By kernel server what do you mean?
[10:53] <genii> some module?
[10:53] <KomiaPoika> genii: some server that automatically fetches new kernels and makes them readily available
[10:53] <[Elsa] > predius: so now i have to type it on my terminal this ---> sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ??
[10:53] <ivx> hey, which file at http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/deb/?C=N;O=A should i get for dvd support
[10:54] <gouki> !dvd > ivx
[10:54] <predius> [Elsa] : or rm .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:54] <[Elsa] > predius: ok i try it now
[10:55] <genii> KomiaPoika: Just make a cronjob to do apt-get update, then put results of ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-kernel*  somewhere in your /var/www tree
[10:55] <Phrozen_One> anyone in here use ubuntu in a thinclient enviroment?
[10:56] <persen> Can i connect to a windows 2003 remote desktop server from a linux box?
[10:56] <genii> Phrozen_One: Well, I am netbooting about a dozen and installing them by server...does this qualify?
[10:56] <gouki> !samba > persen
[10:56] <gouki> genii, cool solution! (=
[10:56] <Phrozen_One> genii, netbooting == no gui or gui?
[10:56] <persen> Does the Windows remote desktop use samba?! I dont think its regular filesharing
[10:56] <Phrozen_One> genii, neverymind
[10:57] <genii> Phrozen_One: No gui. They are headless eg: no monitor/mouse/keyboard and so on
[10:57] <gouki> persen, sorry. I wasn't aware you wanted remote desktop features.
[10:57] <genii> Phrozen_One: Then I ssh into them
[10:58] <Phrozen_One> genii, would a thinclient setup include the full gnome desktop just running off this remote server, or is that a completely wrong view of thinclient computing?
[10:58] <dreamer> hi, I've been X-forwarding with Xming and putty for a while now. I just logged in with putty and see this at the beginning: /usr/bin/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/dreamer/.Xauthority  and when Itry to run (for example) firefox I get: Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server  Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted
[10:58] <gouki> persen, Terminal Server Client should do what you want
[10:58] <persen> gouki: ok, but is it possible to connect to Remote Desktop Win Server 2003 ?
[10:58] <persen> ok.
[10:58] <persen> ty
[10:58] <dreamer> I've never had this before, what could be wrong?
[10:58] <genii> Phrozen_One: Well, you could run a remote X server, yes. It is fairly resource intensive tho. But it can be done
[10:58] <gouki> perplexity, no problem!
[10:59] <Fr0Gs> Hey all
[10:59] <Fr0Gs> Ahmmm why does it take me so long to resolve an ip?
[10:59] <Phrozen_One> genii, I'm looking for a way to have gnome be "pretty" and keep the resources minimal on the clients. I'm looking for >=128 mb ram, and >=700 mhz cpu required to run smoothly
[11:00] <valehru> does anyone know an app that can batch reduce jpeg file sizes and resolutions?  i.e. optomize them for the web?
[11:01] <gouki> valehru, The Gimp?
[11:01] <Fr0Gs> fine dont answer :(
[11:01] <Fr0Gs> lol
[11:01] <valehru> gouki, the gimp only does individual files, I want to drag a folder into it and it reduces everything in all folders..
[11:02] <KomiaPoika> genii: thanks
[11:02] <gouki> valehru, you can try imagemagick, but I don't know if it do what you want.
[11:02] <genii> Phrozen_One: You want them to boot off the server or have a minimal install with something like gdm but then remote X login to an X server ?
[11:02] <gouki> valehru, you can try imagemagick, but I don't know if it will do what you want.
[11:02] <valehru> gouki, thx
[11:03] <Jowi> valehru, I do it with imagemagick. you need to use the command line for the "convert" command but it's got full range of good tools in it.
[11:03] <gouki> valehru, you can also use GThumb Image Viewer
[11:04] <Phrozen_One> genii, what do you feel would use the least resources, both client and server end?
[11:04] <dreamer> can anyone help me with my X-forwarding issue? this is really anyoing, it worked perfectly last week
[11:04] <Dh3Y0> hello
[11:04] <valehru> Jowi, thx.....
[11:04] <dreamer> and I haven't changed anything
[11:04] <Dh3Y0> how do i install a c compiler on my xubuntu box
[11:04] <gouki> valehru, go to the folder where the pictures are located, select the ones you want and then choose 'scale image'
[11:05] <genii> Phrozen_One What you could do on the server is loop-mount the livecd iso. Then use tftp to boot the remote boxes. Then they use the livecd as theiir OS. This way you don't need even a hard drive on the clients.
[11:05] <gouki> !gcc | Dh3Y0
[11:05] <ubotu> Dh3Y0: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:05] <rage__> dreamer: wtf is the problem you are asking about?
[11:05] <valehru> gouki, thanks again....checking out imagemagick.
[11:05] <dreamer> rage__: I'll pastebin it
[11:05] <gouki> valehru, the last tip can be done with the default software.
[11:05] <[Elsa] > predius: sorry my machine too heavy so i have to restart it
[11:06] <jmcnaught> Fr0Gs: there's a script for nautilus on this page that might do the trick for you: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-multimedia.php
[11:06] <Phrozen_One> genii, excellent suggestion. Fortunately we have resources, albeit low grade resources. Have a slew of old computers most being 128 mb, 700 mhz emachines with 20 gb hdd in them already
[11:06] <[Elsa] > predius: may i get ur code to uninstall flash plugin from firefox?
[11:06] <dreamer> rage__: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4247/
[11:07] <dreamer> rage__: before it worked perfectly, and I haven't changed any config. putty is the same also
[11:07] <gouki> Dh3Y0, a simple sudo apt-get install gcc will install a C compiler for you
[11:07] <Dh3Y0> gouki;  thanks
[11:07] <rage__> dreamer: No idea, but now you have asked your question you have more chance of getting it answered.
[11:07] <visik7> anyone know if the modem of intel gma 945GM  is working on linux ?
[11:07] <dreamer> rage__: I asked it before
[11:07] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : before you try removing the flash plugin from the command line, have you tried removing it with the synaptic package manager?
[11:08] <genii> Phrozen_One: Here is a link to the page i used as a beginning to the system I am now using to auto-install. It shows how to use the pxelinux files and so on to specify what the clients use for their / and s o on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnCluster
[11:08] <[Elsa] > jmcnaught: what is synaptic package manager?
[11:08] <gouki> [Elsa] , a simple | rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash* | will remove Flash
[11:08] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhuhu
[11:09] <[Elsa] > gouki: thanxs i will try it now
[11:09] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : it's how most programs are installed/removed in ubuntu... you go to the system menu, then administration, then synaptic
[11:09] <gouki> [Elsa] , of like jmcnaught said, try doing: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree | in case it's installed with a package manager
[11:09] <[Elsa] > huhuhu so which one first i have to do now?
[11:09] <fredl> Hmm, I just added a third network card to my server.... it seems lspci sees it.... in dmesg it shows it's loading the 3c590 module...
[11:10] <fredl> well 3c59x that is...
[11:10] <genii> Phrozen_One: You don't need to do the yp stuff and so on. Just in the /var/lib/tftpboot/default  file specify some stuff like the mounted directory of the iso to use as / and so on
[11:10] <gouki> [Elsa] , try with sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree, if that doesn't work use the previous command I gave you.
[11:10] <nrdb> what is the name of the channel for the C language
[11:10] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok i follow ur step first
[11:10] <gouki> [Elsa] , are you trying to update your Flash installation?
[11:10] <gouki> nrdb, ##c
[11:10] <fredl> how does Linux decide which network card is eth0, eth1 and eth2 ?
[11:11] <nrdb> gouki: thanks
[11:11] <[Elsa] > gouki: on my terminal give this msg: ------> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:11] <[Elsa] > E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[11:11] <genii> fredl If you want to specify which one gets eth1 eth2 and so on, put their mac addresses in /etc/iftab
[11:11] <fredl> thanks genii, didn't know that :)
[11:11] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : if you have synaptic running, close it before running the sudo apt-get... command
[11:11] <genii> fredl np :)
[11:12] <[Elsa] > jmcnaught: yup my synapctic running, now i close it
[11:12] <gouki> [Elsa] , then try again.
[11:12] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : synaptic is a "point and click" way of using apt-get... but you can only use one at a time so that the two don't accidently conflict
[11:12] <Jewfro-Macabbi> anyone use Rosetta Stone? I runs fine under wine, except the Russian doesn't work due to font issue
[11:13] <fredl> genii, maybe you can help me with this too.... I put my two NIC's that were in there already in /etc/iftab now....
[11:13] <GalaZ> hi guys
[11:13] <[Elsa] > gouki: after i close that synaptic here a msg i got ------> xkarimx@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[11:13] <[Elsa] > Reading package lists... Done
[11:13] <[Elsa] > Building dependency tree... Done
[11:13] <[Elsa] > E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree
[11:13] <[Elsa] > xkarimx@ubuntu:~$
[11:13] <fredl> genii, but I just added a third NIC. I see it in lspci... the kernel loads the 3c59x module....
[11:13] <gouki> [Elsa] , please don't post several lines on the channel. Try the first command I gave you.
[11:14] <[Elsa] > gouki: sorry about pasting that
[11:14] <fredl> genii, how do I find which MAC address the third NIC has?
[11:14] <gouki> [Elsa] , no problem.
[11:14] <gouki> fredl, ifconfig ethX, where X is the number of the card.
[11:14] <elementz> hi everybody
[11:14] <genii> fredl do ifconfig and it should list the adapters and some info including their mac addresses
[11:15] <fredl> well it doesn't show the third NIC.
[11:15] <fredl> that's my problem :)
[11:15] <GalaZ> the command for install a tar.bz2
[11:15] <GalaZ> ?
[11:15] <gouki> !source | GalaZ
[11:15] <ubotu> GalaZ: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[11:15] <GalaZ> thx
[11:15] <mneptok> GalaZ: install? or decompress?
[11:15] <gouki> GalaZ, Sorry!
[11:15] <genii> fredl It could be you have 2 nic which use the same chipset
[11:15] <elementz> need help regarding xfce4 and composite manager -> enabled composite in xorg.conf -> but i get no composite tab under window settings
[11:15] <gouki> !gcc | GalaZ
[11:15] <ubotu> GalaZ: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:15] <[Elsa] > gouki: after i use first code u give me --> rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
[11:15] <[Elsa] >   after i type that on terminal i got no msg
[11:15] <[Elsa] > any good signs?
[11:16] <fredl> genii, when I do 'rmmod 3c59x; modprobe 3c59x' then I see in dmesg3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html'
[11:16] <genii> fredl So when you modprobe use the -o switch to rename the mosule you load
[11:16] <gouki> [Elsa] , the flash plugin has been remove. What do you want to do now? Install Flash9?
[11:16] <gouki> *removed
[11:16] <genii> 1 minute, need to wiggle video cable, has a short which causes my screen to go unreadable
[11:16] <[Elsa] > gouki: yes, i have to install flash9
[11:16] <fredl> genii, nope, they're actually 3 different NIC's, one's a 3C950, one's a Tulip card and one's an RTLsomething.
[11:17] <gouki> [Elsa] , I'll PVT you with a link.
[11:17] <fredl> genii, so there's actually three different network driver modules loaded now.
[11:17] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok now my browser can open a flash web without auto close browser. so what command to install flash player 9?
[11:17] <[Elsa] > oic...
[11:17] <[Elsa] > thanxs gouki
[11:17] <[Elsa] > :
[11:17] <gouki> [Elsa] , no problem. You'll find the information you need there.
[11:18] <[Elsa] > gouki: thanxs for ur URL. i will follow there. if i got a problem i will ask here again. thanxs
[11:19] <fredl> genii, ooh, I do see the interface, just not when I do 'ifconfig', I actually have to specifically do 'ifconfig eth2'
[11:19] <genii> fredl Then put in /etc/networking interfaces something like a line eth2 auto  then something like iface eth0 inet dhcp   then do ifup eth2
[11:19] <genii> fredl then do again ifconfig, then add to /etc/iftab etc etc tec
[11:20] <genii> iface eth2 inet dhcp    rather , not eth0 :)
[11:21] <[Elsa] > gouki: from that link i have 2 option to install flash 9 plugin right?
[11:21] <[Elsa] > gouki: if i choose install Ubuntu repositories , is that after i running that command via terminal so everything is done now?
[11:21] <gouki> [Elsa] , just start on the wget ... part.
[11:22] <GalaZ> ERROR: Your home directory does not have a Mozilla, SeaMonkey or Firefox
[11:22] <GalaZ>        browser user directory. Run one of these browsers at least once.
[11:22] <fredl_> genii, that worked :P
[11:22] <[Elsa] > gouki: ic.. but i already type sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree . so any turn back tips?
[11:22] <genii> fredl Glad to help :)
[11:22] <gouki> [Elsa] , no. Just start on the wget... part!
[11:22] <fredl_> genii, but by ifup'ing my second external interface I got an extra default route.
[11:23] <mneptok> GalaZ: what are you trying to do?
[11:23] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok i start now
[11:23] <fredl_> which is slightly unwanted :P
[11:23] <GalaZ> install flash
[11:23] <ZoemDoef> Hi everyone
[11:23] <gouki> [Elsa] , everything is well explained on the post. Read the comments below the commands.
[11:23] <genii> fredl Whichever interface you want to be default, put that one last in /etc/iftab
[11:23] <mneptok> GalaZ: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:23] <fredl_> genii, but the two external interfaces are both DHCP
[11:24] <fredl_> genii, I have a cable modem and an adsl modem.
[11:24] <genii> fredl If you want for example eth0 to be the default route, put the line for eth0 last in /etc/iftab   whichever interface comes up last becomes default route
