[07:56] <XhyldazhK> my root fs is standard ext3
[07:56] <jmullman> reka: quite true, that
[07:56] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, in fdisk appears as 83 - Linux
[07:56] <neoplasticity> anyone know if you can run a remote X windows app from behind a home router?
[07:56] <ompaul> I tried to install a few times, eventually I did a server install then 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'  server is triggered from the initial screen it may or may not help
[07:56] <yourghetek> how do i see my ip address in console?
[07:56] <_Church_of_Foamy> how to install a tar.gz file?
[07:56] <goldfish> yourghetek: ifconfig
[07:56] <RaD|Tz> which is the command for the text only setup configuration tool?
[07:57] <XhyldazhK> yourghetek, ifconfig without parameters
[07:57] <reka> _Church_of_Foamy: you don't. it's an archive file
[07:57] <XhyldazhK> can anyone help me?
[07:57] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, linux is simply a partition type, not the fs
[07:57] <ompaul> yourghetek, sudo ifconfig
[07:57] <reka> _Church_of_Foamy: what are you trying to do?
[07:57] <yourghetek> thanks
[07:57] <MaartenFabre> so how can i start hotplug at boot again?
[07:57] <jmullman> neoplastisicy: short answer... yes shorter answer... I don't recall just how
[07:57] <MaartenFabre> chmod +x doesn't work
[07:57] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, the type is the default of hoary, I think its ext3, but its fully backwards compatible with ext2
[07:57] <_Church_of_Foamy> install Wine-20050419.tar.gz
[07:57] <napsy> Hi. Why do I have to reinstall hal packages so gnome doesnt's appear the HAL init failure. When I reinstall them and restart the session, all is OK. Is there a way to fix this?
[07:57] <goldfish> emmmmm
[07:58] <reka> _Church_of_Foamy: use the repos!!!
[07:58] <goldfish> _Church_of_Foamy: why are u installing wine from source?
[07:58] <reka> sudo apt-get install wine
[07:58] <_Church_of_Foamy> because i want the dx9 wine
[07:58] <goldfish> _Church_of_Foamy: pm
[07:58] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, positively is ext3, i can mount it as ext3
[07:58] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, did you happen to keep around a bootable kernel?
[07:59] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, only the one from this live cd
[07:59] <reka> goldfish: please share :-)
[07:59] <jpfarias> hey!
[07:59] <jpfarias> is the native version of eclipse already on ubuntu?
[07:59] <Burgundavia> jpfarias, nope, sorry
[07:59] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, i managed to chroot to my old disk and install a new kernel using aptitude, but the new one fails in the same way
[07:59] <goldfish> reka: Yes? :)
[07:59] <imaek> Anybody here know anything about hardware?
[08:00] <occy> OT: if I divide 210 (minutes) / 56 (miles)  and get 3.75  is that  3.75 mins per mile?
[08:00] <reka> goldfish: dx9 wine ... i'd like to know JIC
[08:00] <goldfish> imaek: ask your question im sure someone will answer you...
[08:00] <imaek> Not hardware troubleshooting, but buying hardware.
[08:00] <imaek> Okay.
[08:00] <imaek> Well I am building a computer
[08:00] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, interesting
[08:00] <imaek> and I forgot to get a hard drive
[08:01] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, both kernels 2.4.10 and 2.4.11 are failing in the same way
[08:01] <imaek> and now I need to know what specifies the interface?
[08:01] <reka> occy: i'd say so.
[08:01] <occy> reka, heh,  I'm a product of public schools you know...
[08:01] <occy> :)
[08:01] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, wish i can help you more, but i have not yet installed ubuntu here so i can't verify stuff i tell people
[08:01] <ompaul> imaek, that depends on your motherboard, if you have sata or ide on the board
[08:01] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, 2.4.10?  very old kernel
[08:01] <XhyldazhK> errr 2.6
[08:01] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, ok
[08:01] <XhyldazhK> 2.6.10 and 2.6.11
[08:02] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, were you ever able to boot with any kernel?
[08:02] <XhyldazhK> who can please help me?
[08:02] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, yes, perfectly until the update
[08:02] <XhyldazhK> with X, sound, network, and all
[08:02] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, did you check the bootloader
[08:02] <nutorian> how do I connect to ubuntu using irssi?
[08:03] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, are all the bootloader references still valid?
[08:03] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, i played with the bootloader too
[08:03] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, lets check
[08:03] <imaek> ompaul: apparently SATA.  In the upper left hand corner of the back of the box it says "SATA 3Gb/s NVIDIA nForce Storage".  Is that right?
[08:03] <ompaul> imaek, so you need to get an sata drive thenb :)
[08:04] <nutorian> how do I connect to the ubuntu channel through the terminal
[08:04] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, yes, all the files referenced in menu.lst do exist
[08:04] <imaek> ompaul: on newegg they have Serial ATA II and Serial ATA150.  How can I figure out which I need?
[08:04] <jmullman> nutorian: read the manpage for irssi or get BitchX
[08:04] <reka> night
[08:04] <jmullman> you start it up, then tell it /server irc.freenode.net
[08:04] <jmullman> then you tell it /j #ubuntu
[08:05] <goldfish>  /connect !!!
[08:05] <ompaul> imaek, I know very little so maybe uncle google will help
[08:05] <jmullman> and you start typing at will
[08:05] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, then, it is like the filesystem support in kernel (or initrd + module ref if filesystem support is compiled as a module)
[08:05] <imaek> okay, thank you ompaul?
[08:05] <imaek> *.
[08:05] <FLeiXiuS> jmullman: IRSSI is /connect :-)
[08:05] <jmullman> ah, yes, the connect
[08:05] <jmullman> old Bitcher here ;0
[08:05] <goldfish>  /server will disconnect you from your current server on irssi
[08:05] <XhyldazhK> kudzubane, how do I check that?
[08:06] <ompaul> imaek, :)
[08:06] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, wish i nave a bit more ubuntu-specific knowledge there to help you
[08:06] <XhyldazhK> :(
[08:06] <XhyldazhK> who can help me?
[08:06] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: What seems to be the problem :-)
[08:07] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, i am not sure how the kernels are compiled in ubuntu
[08:07] <nutorian> Jmullman: thankyou
[08:08] <zth> hi, how can i set shortcut keys to apps like i can in kde-menu? i need my terminal on f12
[08:08] <kudzubane> XhyldazhK, hopefully, in a few hours, i will have a better idea when i install it
[08:08] <jmullman> nutorian: no prob
[08:08] <XhyldazhK> FLeiXiuS, my system refuses to mount root partition at boot time after a kernel upgrade
[08:08] <carl> what is the name of the packet displayer thing.. I thought it was tetherial
[08:09] <jmullman> tethereal
[08:09] <jmullman> like the opposite of corporeal
[08:09] <jmullman> ;)
[08:09] <jmullman> sorry, philosophy major
[08:09] <voth> can you modify the menu subsystem places and add additional 'shortcuts' ?
[08:09] <Rockett17> ethereal or etherape
[08:09] <zth> voth, i wonder the exact same thing
[08:09] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: What fs is the root partition?
[08:09] <XhyldazhK> ext3
[08:09] <zth> lol wonder, i wanna know i mean
[08:09] <carl> jmullman, - thanks
[08:10] <jmullman> carl: np
[08:10] <zth> anyone?
[08:10] <goldfish> zth: are u running gnome?
[08:11] <zth> goldfish, yepp
[08:11] <goldfish> zth: im pretty certain there is a shortcut section in the menu .....
[08:11] <goldfish> zth: u looked in the menu?
[08:12] <zth> u mean under system?
[08:12] <goldfish> yeah
[08:12] <XhyldazhK> FLeiXiuS, and over that, I tried to reinstall without erasing my package database
[08:13] <XhyldazhK> and ended up deleting my libc.mo
[08:13] <jmullman> it's been a while since I've used GNOME, have they re-implemented the menu editor?
 you can download it, i'm not sure whether it is included in Gnome by default
[08:14] <zth> goldfish, where should that be? i can't find anything
[08:14] <jmullman> bummer
[08:14] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: Whats the /etc/fstab look like?
[08:14] <magog> can someone tell me the directory for the splah screen? i know its just a matter of editing a config file...pointing it to the png you want, but i cant find it
[08:14] <goldfish> zth: emmmm
[08:14] <voth> isn't there a .conf file that handles the menu sub-system ?
[08:14] <goldfish> zth: sorry, memory is rusty havent used gnome in ages...
[08:14] <goldfish> Anyone know where to set keyboard shortcuts in gnome?
[08:14] <XhyldazhK> # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
[08:14] <XhyldazhK> #

[08:14] <goldfish> :/
[08:14] <IIIEars> At first i didn't really care... then i couldn't find the definition for it... now it is a mission. - lol "Plenk" What does it mean?
[08:15] <r0ver> Hello can you recomend an url about ubuntu amd64 + raid ?
[08:15] <r0ver> or raid with ubuntu 64 ?
[08:15] <carl> any idea what the tethereal options are to watch dhcp trafic?
[08:15] <IIIEars> msg ubotu tell XhyldazhK about flood
[08:16] <voth> Plenk is a wrongly added blank before a punctuation character.
[08:16] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: Did you try specifying where exactly the root partition is in the grub.conf?
[08:16] <XhyldazhK> exactly?
[08:17] <XhyldazhK> how is exactly?
[08:17] <FLeiXiuS> the precise location?
[08:17] <XhyldazhK> as root=/dev/hda5, yes
[08:17] <firasR> zth:  http://www.realistanew.com/projects/smeg/
[08:17] <XhyldazhK> or more exactly than that?
[08:17] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: That works just fine
[08:17] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: Errors do you get when selecting the Ubuntu partition from the grub boot menu?
[08:18] <FLeiXiuS> + What sort of *
[08:18] <voth> IIIEars, did you get that?
[08:18] <XhyldazhK> the kernel starts, then says
[08:18] <XhyldazhK> VFS: Cannot open root device "hda5" or unknown-block(0,0)
[08:19] <XhyldazhK> Please append a correct "root=" boot option
[08:19] <XhyldazhK> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[08:19] <jmullman> wait, I didn't think grub used the hda parlance
[08:19] <XhyldazhK> that's not grub, its the kernel
[08:20] <jmullman> aah
[08:20] <jmullman> okay
[08:20] <XhyldazhK> grub doesn't tell me of any error
[08:20] <jmullman> it's post-bootstrap
[08:20] <XhyldazhK> yes
[08:20] <jmullman> eew
[08:21] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: Did you add support for Large Block Devices?
[08:22] <XhyldazhK> FLeiXiuS, nope... hoe is that?
[08:22] <XhyldazhK> how?
[08:22] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: EXT3 seems to rely on support for this in your kernel.
[08:22] <voth> IIIEars, that's a nice little resource, you may want to bookmark it.
[08:22] <XhyldazhK> how do I enable that?
[08:23] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: Re-compiling your kernel would be the easiest way.
[08:23] <FLeiXiuS> It's under block devices.
[08:23] <FLeiXiuS> Devices / Drivers / Block Devices
[08:23] <jmullman> I didn't think this was a recompiled kernel
[08:23] <XhyldazhK> recompiling?
[08:23] <jmullman> this was just a packaged install using ubuntu's scripty-thing, right?
[08:24] <XhyldazhK> that could take hours... cannot I simply install back the original kernel that came with ubuntu hoary?
[08:24] <wdh> XhyldazhK, sure you can
[08:24] <XhyldazhK> i simply updated via the panel applet!
[08:24] <syntaxerror64> hi HrdwrBoB
[08:24] <XhyldazhK> i didn't recompiled anythong
[08:24] <XhyldazhK> anything
[08:24] <jmullman> didn't think so
[08:24] <jmullman> although anythong would be nice right about now
[08:24] <XhyldazhK> I swear it
[08:24] <wdh> XhyldazhK, then your kernel is ok
[08:25] <wdh> s/is/should be :)
[08:25] <FLeiXiuS> XhyldazhK: It's one of the only options that I can think of right now.
[08:25] <zth> firasR, i can't find the right python-xdg in my repos? :(
[08:25] <XhyldazhK> :(
[08:25] <syntaxerror64> i have a clean install of ubuntu, i clicked the red icon in the taskbar to update but 2 of the updates it said it can't fetch.  is there anything i can do?
[08:25] <XhyldazhK> how do I revert back to the original hoary kernel?
[08:26] <b00t> anyone know where i can get an old/vulnerable ssh server?  It needs to be unpatched with SSH 1 and RC4
[08:26] <jmullman> !?!
[08:26] <ubotu> jmullman: I don't know
[08:27] <b00t> i'm helping set up a network security lab
[08:27] <jmullman> ah
[08:27] <jmullman> go grab an old source, say from ibiblio or something and compile from scratch
[08:28] <XhyldazhK> can I install without erasing the package database? I tried that and ended up with a non-chrootable root filesystem :(
[08:28] <KrispyKringle> Howdy folks. I just booted the PPC LiveCD to try to test out my firewire drive (Oxford chipset, which has some issues with OSX, apparently). Anyway, dmes shows the device is detected and "Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0", but i don't see it in /dev as sda. Any ideas?
[08:28] <b00t> jmullman, but what server?  openssh was fixed in its first instance, got another one?
[08:28] <jmullman> I seem to remember SuSE had a broken package, but that was something like three years ago
[08:28] <jmullman> or more
[08:29] <b00t> ibiblio is blogs?!?
[08:29] <_Church_of_Foamy> how to go to hdc in konsole?
[08:29] <jmullman> it is a lot of things
[08:29] <jmullman> the website has links to everything they have, but they have a ton of stuff available, including old sources(at least they used to) of OSS
[08:30] <_Church_of_Foamy> how to go to the cd-rom in console
[08:30] <b00t> OSS?
[08:30] <b00t> isn't that sound?
[08:30] <jmullman> Open Source Software
[08:30] <KrispyKringle> nevermind, folks.
[08:30] <KrispyKringle> it's now attached. just took a while.
[08:30] <b00t> oh, right
[08:30] <XhyldazhK> how do I reinstall without erasing my homedir and my packages?
[08:31] <cmihai> First make a backup regardless of the procedure ;)
[08:31] <jmullman> is all of this data you wish to keep on another partition than, say, / or /usr?
[08:31] <jmullman> like a partition set aside for /home
[08:32] <XhyldazhK> nope :(
[08:32] <demc> I have a new install of ubuntu on an old Dell laptop, and I can't for the life of me get it to recognize any PCMCIA cards, so no network. synaptic says pcmcia-cs is all up to date
[08:32] <jmullman> then back it off to something else and kiss it good-bye
[08:32] <XhyldazhK> can I simply reinstall without erasing like with windows xp?
[08:32] <jmullman> and learn from your mistake ;) j/k... it is a good idea to make a separate /home partition for things just like this...or upgrades for that matter
[08:32] <jmullman> yes, you can do that
[08:33] <XhyldazhK> jmullman, how?
[08:33] <jmullman> are you talking about your home directory or are you talking about windows on another partition?
[08:33] <XhyldazhK> the apt registry will keep registering all the apps i downloading with synaptic?
[08:33] <XhyldazhK> about my home and my apps
[08:33] <jmullman> the apt registry is going to be history when you reinstall. period
[08:33] <jmullman> and the apps you have installed thus
[08:34] <jmullman> and your home directory if you don't have it somewhere safe
[08:34] <jmullman> like a separate partition
[08:34] <XhyldazhK> jmullman, there is no workaround with that? cannot I simply install the base system that is outside of the range of apt?
[08:34] <jmullman> apt, and all those packages ARE the system
[08:34] <wasabi_> There is no base system that is outside of apt.
[08:34] <jmullman> nothing gets around dpkg
[08:34] <wasabi_> well, dpkg anyways. ;)
[08:34] <demc> anyone have any idea why that functioning pcmcia hardware wouldn't be recognized?
[08:35] <kudzubane> demc, no kernel support
[08:35] <XhyldazhK> what about all those files that doesn't have a package? surely there are, i've done dpkg-queries over some files and they said that doesn't belong to any package
[08:35] <ksb> hi all
[08:35] <XhyldazhK> they are outside apt
[08:35] <kudzubane> demc, or pcmcia support isn't working
[08:35] <wasabi_> XhyldazhK, then you installed them or they were created by a piece of software.
[08:35] <jmullman> ;)
[08:36] <XhyldazhK> i cannot chroot to my old disk
[08:36] <b00t> can anyone tell me a few ssh server names?
[08:36] <XhyldazhK> how can i fix that?
[08:37] <jmullman> x:are you booted to a livecd or something?
[08:37] <XhyldazhK> yes
[08:37] <XhyldazhK> I'm from ubuntu live cd
[08:37] <jmullman> ok
[08:37] <XhyldazhK> I ried to make a partial reinstall, but I messed up
[08:37] <XhyldazhK> so i ended up with a non chrootable base system
[08:37] <jmullman> partial reinstall?
[08:37] <XhyldazhK> tried
[08:37] <demc> kudzubane: any idea how to get that problem fixed? it'd be nice to have network on this machine
[08:38] <XhyldazhK> yes, booting from install disk in rescue mode and trying to install only the base system
[08:38] <jmullman> interesting
[08:38] <kudzubane> demc, take a look and see if cardctl sees the card first of all
[08:38] <jmullman> never heard of that before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist
[08:40] <Podz> anyone around to help a newb ?
[08:41] <nalioth> Podz: what is up
[08:41] <Podz> laptop. netgear cardbus wg5111. Live cd will not see that card to use it.
[08:41] <Podz> full install also fails to see it
[08:41] <nalioth> Podz: not familiar with x86 networking (i run only PPC)
[08:41] <b00t> does anyone know of an ssh server besides openssh?
[08:41] <nalioth> Podz: guess a hardline isnt available?
[08:42] <justin> b00t: what is wrong with openssh?
[08:42] <nalioth> b00t: thats the only one i know of
[08:42] <b00t> openssh is too secure, even in its first version
[08:42] <Podz> you guess right :) ..... though I could if I really had to.
[08:42] <b00t> i need an insecure one for a security lab
[08:42] <justin> b00t: lsh? dropbear ssh?
[08:42] <b00t> thank you
[08:42] <justin> b00t: the ssh.com ssh1?
[08:42] <jmullman> I suppose you could tell openssh to just use ssh1 instead of v2
[08:43] <b00t> but it fixes the RC4 issue in ssh 1
[08:43] <b00t> even with v1 of openssh
[08:43] <Podz> nalioth: would a hardline make it very easy to get this card configured ?
[08:43] <demc> cardctl recognizes my card just fine, how can i get it to work, now taht i know the system sees it
[08:43] <jmullman> heck, if you are trying to make a security lab, and can't find a broken version of ssh...don't worry about teaching the old ssh tricks
[08:43] <zth> smeg isn't able to add destop shortcuts :/
[08:45] <nalioth> Podz: no, but it would negate the need for a wireless (at least in the house)
[08:45] <DrX> Hi I just installed kubuntu on my laptop, I want to dualboot windows and linux so i made a small partition for windows but i did the mistake of installaing linux before windows and now the windows XP (and windows 98) CD won't start, I even tried to remove grub from mbr but windows still doesn't boot, anyone know what causes this and how to fix it ?
[08:46] <jmullman> the CD won't start the system?
[08:46] <Podz> nalioth: ta ... I'll go read up stuff. Thanks again :)
[08:46] <jmullman> linux has nothing to do with that, sorry
[08:46] <nalioth> zth: smeg is only (to my knowledge) your gnome menu(s)
[08:46] <ksb> Any dual ubunto/OSX users here?
[08:46] <ksb> ubuntu, sorry
[08:46] <jmullman> i'm an OSX'er multiple linux user
[08:46] <IIIEars> ubotu XSANE is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/search_form
[08:46] <ubotu> okay, IIIEars
[08:46] <nalioth> DrX: how did you clean the mbr?
[08:47] <nalioth> ksb: i run a dual osx/ubuntu machine
[08:47] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, actually that is not accurate as i had the same issue as him and i couldn't get the cd to boot either.
[08:47] <DrX> nalioth: I used "dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1"
[08:47] <nalioth> DrX: try "fdisk /mbr" (a knoppix disk comes in handy here)
[08:47] <keikoz> nalioth to take awa lilo/grub having windows ?
[08:48] <jmullman> there are no linux installations that will stop any CD of any kind from booting a system
[08:48] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, if you have grub on it will.
[08:48] <nalioth> keikoz: yes, an empty mbr usually boots winduhs
[08:48] <jmullman> no, your bios searches for the cdrom, not your harddisk
[08:48] <nalioth> syntaxerror64: the machine boots before it even see grub
[08:48] <cmihai> no boot manager can stop a boot cd...
[08:48] <ksb> Well to cut to the chase, is there a way to resize the OSX partition to make way for the linux installation?
[08:48] <jmullman> therefore, NO grub, lilo or linux installations will stop a cd from booting period
[08:48] <DrX> jmullman: windows installation cd boots but freezes after a while
[08:49] <kudzubane> nalioth, you sure about the empty part?
[08:49] <bpuccio> Podz: I'll give it a shot, but no promises
[08:49] <nalioth> ksb: get your wallet and get "ipartition"
[08:49] <syntaxerror64> nalioth, jmullman yes i'm aware of that but i'm telling you that when you have grub it skips right over the cd installation, same experience as him.
[08:49] <syntaxerror64> i had to fixmbr first then it would boot off cd.
[08:49] <jmullman> sorry, no
[08:49] <nalioth> kudzubane: empty what part?
[08:49] <jmullman> is it a good, clean cd?
[08:49] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, yes i went through it today so what he had happened also happened to me.
[08:49] <nalioth> syntaxerror64: you are talking about a different area of the disk
[08:49] <ksb> nalioth: righto I'll look into that, any free ways ;) ?
 keikoz: yes, an empty mbr usually boots winduhs
[08:49] <DrX> jmullman: i tried 3 different windows cds, two windows XP and one windows 98
[08:49] <syntaxerror64> nalioth, i went through it today.
[08:49] <demc> anyone know why cardctl would recognize a card, but the card not work at all?
[08:50] <nalioth> ksb, complete reinstall of osx (with a trip to disk utility first)
[08:50] <syntaxerror64> nalioth, i know what you are saying and in theory it should not matter, but that's what happened.
[08:50] <jmullman> i've been doing dual boots for a long long time and have yet to see anything related to the mbr that would hang a cd
[08:50] <ksb> nalioth: I may just do that
[08:50] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, me too that's why i was surprsied.
[08:50] <Earthen> can anyone here help with Dansguardian
[08:51] <nalioth> ok folks g2g back to work (lunchtime is too short)
[08:51] <syntaxerror64> nalioth, later
[08:51] <jmullman> it simply defies logic, they are separate systems and have nothing to do with each other (other than the fact that they are on the same mobo)
[08:51] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, if i hadn't experienced it i would be right with you, but i did.
[08:52] <jmullman> strange things
[08:52] <jmullman> how did you fix it then, I'd like it for personal edification
[08:52] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, i had 80GB drive with win xp, 20GB drive with ubuntu and grub as multiboot.
[08:52] <Earthen> anyone know how to restart Dansguardian  without killing it
[08:53] <IIIEars> ubotu dd is dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1 Will erase your GRUB/Lilo Headache.(Careful) Dual Booting? http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WindowsDualBootHowTo/
[08:53] <ubotu> IIIEars: what are you talking about?
[08:53] <cmihai> wasn't it 512 ?
[08:54] <cmihai> well, whatever.
[08:54] <IIIEars> ubotu dd is ""dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1" Will erase your GRUB/Lilo Headache.(Careful) Dual Booting? http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WindowsDualBootHowTo/"
[08:54] <ubotu> IIIEars: okay
[08:54] <jmullman> lol
[08:54] <jf6> Who can help me about Nvu?
[08:55] <zth> how do i add keyboard shortcuts to my applictations?
[08:55] <Ubuntian> the sound really sucks (saturated) since i did the ubuntuguide.org steps to "fix" sound problems, it did fix all the problems but now the sound is horrible (saturated) :-/ please can someone help me on this ?
[08:55] <IIIEars> 446 is the exact size. 512 doesn't hurt anything though.
[08:56] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, you familiar with repositories and the like?
[08:56] <cmihai> forgetting count does :)
[08:56] <jf6> Who can help me about Nvu?
[08:56] <jmullman> yeah, thing is, I've been using Fedora a lot, so I've got yum on the brain right now
[08:56] <jmullman> what's the ?
[08:56] <IIIEars> count is the number of times dd should repeat the command
[08:56] <Ubuntian> what's Nvu?
[08:56] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, perhaps you'll know what i can do anyway.  i went through the ubuntu starter guide today and added additional repositories as it said.
[08:57] <jmullman> ya
[08:57] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, now, i am trying to install samba through the synaptic package manager.
[08:57] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, and i'm getting this message "Depends: samba-common (=3.0.10-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.14a-3ubuntu3~5.04ubp1 is to be installed"
[08:57] <IIIEars> NVU is a fairly good HTML editor
[08:58] <jmullman> I'd try, just for fun, commenting out the new repositories and going with the default
[08:58] <jmullman> if that doesn't work, then it could possibly be either an dpkg db problem or a package maintainer's fault
[08:59] <jmullman> the thrid is the least likely though
[08:59] <samuel> anyone know of any osx chat rooms?
[08:59] <snow>  one question guys. i try to inst 5.10 but the f. machine (intel) says its not able to mount a filesys ext2 (or ext3) on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc1 - i have tried lots of things
[08:59] <jmullman> #osx
[08:59] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, 2 days ago when i first installed ubuntu i had no problem installing samba, but i didn't do the repository stuff form the starter guide.
[08:59] <samuel> jmullman, and very lively that is
[08:59] <emanuelez> i used pppoeconf to setup my adsl connection... how do i make it start on boot now?
[08:59] <jmullman> samuel: in that case, no, not really.. although there are a lot of chatters about in #webkit
[09:00] <jmullman> syntax: I'd eyeball one of the repos you added then
[09:00] <jmullman> remove them one by one till you get the results your looking for
[09:00] <syntaxerror64> jmullman, ok..  it seems like samba-common is a newer version than what samba wants me to have and it's not letting me install.
[09:00] <samuel> jmullman, thanks - i thought osx was easy to configure! im finding it harder than slackware
[09:00] <jmullman> samuel: what is it you are having a problem with?
[09:01] <jmullman> and yes, slack is the bomb
[09:01] <kudzubane> Ubuntian, everyone has his/her pain threshold
[09:01] <joxer> Sorry for sounding like a noob, But how the devil do i take a screenshot with ubuntu ?
[09:01] <samuel> jmullman, cant print, ive a cups printer in a debian machine, and another debian can print to it just fine, but the osx machine cant
[09:01] <zth> joxer, printscr
[09:02] <zth> joxer, the button :)
[09:02] <joxer> woot ?
[09:02] <joxer> what button ? loll
[09:02] <zth> next to scroll lock _:p
[09:02] <syntaxerror64> joxer, you cal click on system/take a screenshot
[09:02] <emanuelez> joxer, just press print screes or in the system menu
[09:02] <goldfish> or run gnome-panel-screenshot
[09:02] <jmullman> samuel: I've had that before... can't remember what I did to fix it lol been a long time
[09:02] <joxer> hmm ill try
[09:03] <joxer> lol thanks XD
[09:03] <Ubuntian> i thought linux was always bleeding edge, but my sound sucks, there is no decent newsgraber, OOo can't open an elborate powerpoint presentation...i'm using ubuntu for 3 months now but if it's not bleeding edge...
[09:03] <Ubuntian> dunno...
[09:04] <JuNkPhreak|UnIx> bleeding edge try gentoo :}
[09:04] <jmullman> ubuntian: it is a server os, if you want unix on the desktop... go OSX
[09:04] <kudzubane> Ubuntian, bleeding edge means different things to different people
[09:04] <zth> hoooooow do i make keyboard shortcuts in gnome?! i wanna start firefox with f11 and terminal with f12 like i did in kde!
[09:04] <Ubuntian> to bleeding edge means the best newsgraber around should be on linux first, not on window$
[09:05] <jmullman> get a mac
[09:05] <JuNkPhreak|UnIx> lol
[09:05] <BoD_SWAT> what happened to IRC? Some script kiddies found it funny to flood everything?
[09:05] <JuNkPhreak|UnIx> mini
[09:05] <JuNkPhreak|UnIx> or dual G5 2.7
[09:05] <jmullman> newsreaders and powerpoint are not a linux priority... it is a server os
[09:05] <goldfish> BoD_SWAT: aye
[09:05] <jmullman> this is coming from a longtime user
[09:06] <BoD_SWAT> The last sing I saw was a lot of "Team Windows" flashing bye, before I got kicked from the channel
[09:06] <Ubuntian> jmullman, my mistake i thought it wanted to do better than windows
[09:06] <BoD_SWAT> jmullman, linux is also very nice as a desktop OS. The more people (desktops) use it, the more (desktop) apps there will be
[09:07] <dgoodwin> a server os thats trying very hard to be a desktop os
[09:07] <BoD_SWAT> Ubuntian, I recon that the first newsreader was on linux (console).
[09:07] <kudzubane> Ubuntian, technically, linux is only the kernel, so...
[09:07] <Ubuntian> welle gnu/linux whatever
[09:07] <zth> man isn't it possible to add shortcut keys to apps in gnome or what?!
[09:07] <Xabbu|> Still just the kernel...
[09:07] <Xabbu|> zth, yeah
[09:08] <zth> Xabbu|, so how do i do it
[09:08] <Ubuntian> gnu/linux is not the kernel it's the whole thing
[09:08] <cmihai> Umh.. politics
[09:08] <Xabbu|> zth, System -> Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts... (or something, I have a swedish interface
[09:08] <kudzubane> Ubuntian, everyone has to determine whether an os is right for him/her, if a particular linux distro (or distros) isn't meeting your needs, than maybe you should consider trying something else or going back to something you like
[09:08] <cmihai> RMS^H^H^HObiWan has tought you well...
[09:08] <dgoodwin> General Question: How do you up the sound setting after installing alsa?
[09:08] <zth> Xabbu|, can't enter my own shortcuts there
[09:09] <Xabbu|> hm...
[09:09] <Ubuntian> kudzubane, exactly, just wanted to share my thoughts
[09:09] <Afgan_>   ? :)
[09:09] <kudzubane> Ubuntian, understood
[09:09] <Xabbu|> zth, No but most of them already is there.
[09:10] <Ghost-nine> having a spot of trouble with ubuntu and sata... i've read a few solutions, but they're not helping out... anyone mind helping m out?
[09:10] <Xabbu|> like opening firefox and the terminal
[09:10] <james_> hello all
[09:10] <zth> Xabbu|, but i wanna use konqueror instead of nautilus
[09:11] <james_> trying to set up clearhealth....need the following installed before i do...
[09:11] <james_> apache...mysql
[09:11] <jjesse> hello james
[09:11] <Xabbu|> zth, I haven't got a clue on how to fix that...
[09:11] <james_> hi
[09:12] <Xabbu|> hi
[09:12] <Ghost-nine> well, i guess no one had the sata problem...
[09:12] <hussam> I have a question. I still have only 20GB of empty space. Is there a way I can move my linux installation + boot record to a bigger hard drive?
[09:12] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, What is the problem?
[09:12] <Xabbu|> hussam, It should be...
[09:13] <jjesse> james_ did you get apache and mysql installed or do you have a question on them?
[09:13] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, i have an sata drive as my boot device, installed grub the the mbr there... ubuntu is on the IDE slave... but grub wont start... the error is "GRUB"
[09:13] <Ghost-nine> not very informative
[09:13] <Xabbu|> hussam, I've never done it myself though
[09:14] <hussam> Xabbu|: any ideas how ?
[09:14] <ksb> right, after much talking with my ubuntu loving lodger i'm gonna take the full plunge, now if i use half my powerbook hdd for ubuntu and then later install OSX will OSX try and trash the ubuntu partition(s) ?
[09:14] <james_> well...not sure how to install apache with ubuntu
[09:15] <Thorrn4> hello!! I am having problems with the speed of my computer...and I was told that it might be the kernel; how can I reload the orginal Ubuntu kernel?
[09:15] <tsw> how do I disable ipv6 on sarge, its slowing some things down?
[09:15] <Xabbu|> hussam, You have to copy the whole partition to the disc and the edit the bootmanager(grub or lilo) to boot the kernel from the right place.
[09:15] <tsw> sorry wrong channel
[09:15] <cmihai> it's probably not slowing anything down.
[09:15] <MattS> tsw: with that said, it shouldn't be slowing anything down if its not being used.
[09:16] <cmihai> If you think so, consider looking into gentoo.
[09:16] <james_> clearhealth and freeb2 must be installed in parallel directories. For simplicity they share a directory called clear in the tarball for this reason. clear should be placed in a directory published by Apache with php rights. Google for LAMP installation or visit the Apache and PHP website for more information on how to do this.
[09:16] <Thorrn4> hello!! I am having problems with the speed of my computer...and I was told that it might be the kernel; how can I reload the orginal Ubuntu kernel?
[09:16] <tsw> MattS: apt-get install ... sits for a 30 seconds or so before connecting to server
[09:16] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, uhm, What happens after that error?
[09:16] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, nothing...
[09:16] <MattS> tsw: well is apt-get even set to use ipv6 in the first place?
[09:17] <james_> any suggestions with this input? jjesse
[09:17] <KrispyKringle> So anywho, I just booted the PPC LiveCD, and it worked fine, and now I go to reboot it and I can't boot it. OpenFirmware doesn't think it's a bootable CD, apparently. Any idea what could've hapenned?
[09:17] <tsw> MattS: no idea
[09:17] <MattS> all my machines have working ipv6 setups... none of them use it.. and none of them are slowed down
[09:17] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, it's just stays there, i'm on an ubuntu livecd right now
[09:17] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, okey, well it finds the mbr, but seems to lookup because or something...
[09:19] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, i was thinking because the sata drivers weren't loaded yet... so i tried making an initrd image with the drivers in it... didn't work out
[09:19] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, or... i could have done it wrong
[09:19] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, hm, strange...
[09:20] <Ng> is there an easy-ish way of hooking dm-crypt into hotplug so it can deal with an encrypted USB key, for example?

[09:26] <goldfish> yeah
[09:26] <Xabbu|> man grub
[09:26] <tck> does it have to be compiled with it
[09:26] <tck> or is there an option
[09:26] <Thorrn4> can someone help me w/ my problem?
[09:26] <Ng> tck: I'm not sure, but the one in ubuntu seems to have ssl support
[09:27] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, what exactly am i looking for?
[09:27] <tck> yeah im on an openbsd box at the mo
[09:27] <Xabbu|> something about bugs with sata in grub
[09:30] <ksb> ok ubuntu, here i come
[09:30] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, Im doing some checks after bugs...
[09:31] <XandriX> bbl
[09:31] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, yea, i was still looking for solutions, but it's kinda hard to search for an error called "GRUB"
[09:31] <johan_> where to file sent to 'trash' in the app konqueror go?
[09:32] <bleck> wondering if anyone can help, trying to get java installed, and azureus, and ive updated soruces.list with the one on ubuntuguide.org but it still can't find the packages... do i need to add soemthing else?
[09:32] <johan_> where do file sent to 'trash' in the app konqueror go?
[09:33] <Ghost-nine> i assume ~/.trash
[09:33] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, I can understand that... I don't find much, many have had the same error. kind of. But no sulotion
[09:33] <wm_eddie> bleck, There's a whole section on the wiki with how to get Java information.
[09:33] <Thorrn4> hello!! I am having problems with the speed of my computer...and I was told that it might be the kernel; how can I reload the orginal Ubuntu kernel?
[09:34] <ksb> does ubuntu support the 54g wifi built into the powerbook?
[09:34] <wm_eddie> ksb, I don't think anything does, except OS X.
[09:34] <mjr> ksb, no; the manufacturer isn't co-operative
[09:34] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, the only other option i can think of is rebuilding the kernel with sata drivers as static...
[09:34] <ksb> wm_eddie: ahhh nuts
[09:35] <Ghost-nine> err..
[09:35] <Ghost-nine> built in... not static
[09:35] <envel> Hello! How to make OpenOffice use fontconfig (simply how to make OOo fonts look like in all other applications)?

[09:35] <iceonnet> how to install xvid and divx??
[09:36] <cmihai> install mplayer / vlc / xine with codec packs... and don't bother
[09:36] <wm_eddie> iceonnet, There's a place where you can find the package win32codecs. That'll probably solve all your problems.
[09:37] <bleck> wm_eddit: thanks :P hehe
[09:37] <cmihai> mplayerhq.hu prolly.. just google
[09:37] <spartas> the w32codecs package is in the nerim repos
[09:38] <jwm68> anyone have a quick minute to help a n00b?
[09:38] <IIIEars> !marillat
[09:38] <ubotu> IIIEars: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[09:38] <shop> hi anyone on
[09:38] <Ng> IIIEars: it's in the BreakMyUbuntu wiki page I think
[09:39] <cmihai> shop, no, we're all bots
[09:39] <Ng> (details of the nerim repository that is)
[09:39] <shop> talk to me
[09:39] <spartas> s/nerim/marillat/
[09:39] <hondje> deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat testing main
[09:40] <iceonnet> wm_eddie, nope it didn't... i installed the codecs listed at http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#codecs but divx and xvid movies wont play
[09:40] <spartas><EMAIL_ADDRESS>should explain it more clearly
[09:40] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, i was following this here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-30233.html , but one thing i'm not sure about... is the guy doing this on a livecd? or did he somehow do this on his ubuntu install
[09:40] <cmihai> iceonnet, just install mplayer
[09:40] <cmihai> or vlc or xine or whatever
[09:41] <iceonnet> ok
[09:41] <wm_eddie> I recommend vlc, but mplayer although not as newb friendly is better at playing everything.
[09:42] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, I guess he is doing it from a installed ubuntu
[09:42] <IIIEars> ubotu nerim is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BreakMyUbuntu
[09:42] <ubotu> IIIEars: okay
[09:42] <jwm68> I am brand new to Ubuntu and Linux.    Anyone know what to do?
[09:42] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, The only difference is that you have to mount your harddrive to the livecd.. And to the same changes in the mounted harddrive.
[09:43] <hondje> hehe, you really chmod -R 777 *? :)
[09:43] <mulux> ^^
[09:43] <IcemanV9> jwm68: if you're lazy, then use System Tools > Root Terminal
[09:43] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, i chrooted into my ubuntu install, but i can't update the variables, so the kernel module path points to the livecd kernel module path
[09:43] <Ng> jwm68: reboot into rescue mode and do chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo, but really you should re-install I think ;)
[09:43] <spartas> aren't we supposed to still be using the mirrors for backports?
[09:44] <bobbie> jvm68 : log in fail safe mode and do chmod +s /usr/sudo ?
[09:44] <drasko> how to go back/forward screen in debconf?
[09:44] <jwm68> should I really reinstall?  I tried to go to /usr in recovery mode and "chmod -R 755 *"  no help
[09:44] <sproingie> yow
[09:45] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, Strange. it should work.
[09:45] <Ng> jwm68: setuid is a permission controlled by chmod, so you need to "chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo", but you need to do it as root, so you need to reboot into rescue mode.
[09:45] <Ng> jwm68: I suggested reinstalling simply because there will be other subtle permissions problems I expect
[09:45] <sproingie> doctor, it hurts when i wipe out everything's permissions ... "then don't wipe out everything's permissions"
[09:45] <Ghost-nine> Xabbu|, is there a way to update those variables from within the chrooted environment?
[09:46] <Ng> jwm68: if you really really hate sudo that much, give the root user a password and use that ;)
[09:46] <Ghost-nine> i'm not too familiar with how debian does things
[09:46] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, I don't really understand how you mean...
[09:46] <spartas> jwm68, you should be able to change the permissions as root using sudo -s
[09:46] <sproingie> openssl will hate you forever if you messed with its default permissions structure
[09:46] <sproingie> i suggest reinstalling
[09:46] <jwm68> this is my first linux install.  how do I reinstall without losing everything that I already have -- the stuff that did not come with Ubuntu 5.04 (XMMS, MPlayer, etc)?
[09:47] <drasko> how to go back/forward screen in debconf?
[09:47] <Xabbu|> Ghost-nine, You just have to open the files you have to edit.(give the full shortcut eg /mnt/<folder>/boot/<fileToEdit>
[09:47] <Xabbu|> or something.
[09:47] <IcemanV9> packages (xmms, mplayer, etc) are easy to install (again)
[09:47] <hondje> jwm68: well, you could back-up /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:47] <sproingie> just copy off all your data like documents and pr0n to a cd
[09:47] <sproingie> and blow it away.  next time, don't do that
[09:47] <Ng> drasko: as far as I know you can only pick the options that are visible, so if it doesn't offer a back/forward then you can't. I could be wrong though ;)
[09:48] <hondje> and next time, make sure /home is on its own parititon
[09:48] <emanuelez> i just installed and configured no-ip... how do i find out if it's already configured to start on boot?
[09:50] <iBuntu> sweet, I fixed the locale problem
[09:50] <hondje> btw, if that kernel bug was amd64 only, why did ubuntu push a kernel my way this morning?
[09:50] <jwm68> cool.  thanks for the assistance, guys.  I am going to kick off a reinstall right now.  once again, thanks.
[09:50] <Ng> np :)
[09:51] <hondje> You'd think, in a logical world, that people coming to linux from windows would have it in their heads to make backups
[09:51] <Ng> windows people make backups?
[09:51] <Ng> news to me ;)
[09:51] <bpuccio> hondje: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2005-June/000146.html
[09:51] <justin> well, if all he messed up was /usr/bin with that command he didn't need to reformat
[09:51] <kudzubane> Ng, no need to insult windows users
[09:51] <Ng> kudzubane: I would have said the same about any OS
[09:52] <Ng> kudzubane: because nobody backs up ;)
[09:52] <cmihai> i do
[09:52] <justin> just have to get a list of which binaries in /usr/bin/ are setuid.. could get that from the livecd or somewhere else
[09:52] <cmihai> i have like 2 floppys full of backups
[09:52] <stricjux> hey guys.... could you help me with something, im using 5.04 Hoary and i want to setup an old box as a small router / server... i did the "server" install and everything went smooth..
[09:52] <stricjux> but!
[09:52] <hondje> bpuccio:  "This does not affect the i386 and powerpc platforms in anyway. (CAN-2005-0756)" ... by i386 he's not saying x86 in general?
[09:52] <stricjux> instead of listing two eth devices.. i see only one configured...
[09:52] <stricjux> how do i bring up the other one?
[09:53] <stricjux> (i did a lspci and they are both detected, or listed in there)
[09:54] <Ng> stricjux: does "ifconfig -a" list it?
[09:54] <stricjux> yeah, it does
[09:54] <Ng> stricjux: if so, make sure /etc/network/interfaces has configuration for it and do "ifup devname"
[09:54] <Ng> if you put "auto devname" in that interfaces file it will come up automatically on boot
[09:54] <pmazer> why can't ubuntu play mp3s?
[09:55] <Ng> ("devname" obviously being eth1 or whatever it is)
[09:55] <stricjux> where is the interfaces file?
[09:55] <Ng> stricjux: /etc/network/
[09:55] <Gandalfar> Where can I find hoary installation guide?
[09:55] <Ghost-nine> well, thanks anyway Xabbu|
[09:55] <randabis> pmazer: rtfw
[09:55] <Ghost-nine> i appreciate the help
[09:55] <bpuccio> hondje: there's another fix right below that, discovered by Chris Wright pertaining to mmap
[09:55] <stricjux> what if ifup eth1 returns "ignoring interface eth1
[09:55] <kvidell> (rtfw? Read the f* wiki?)
[09:55] <bpuccio> that applies to all hardware archi's
[09:56] <hondje> bpuccio: oh, I should read more :-D Thannks!!
[09:56] <Ng> stricjux: hmm
[09:56] <randabis> kvidell: indeed :p
[09:56] <kvidell> I like it :)
[09:56] <snow> hi, weiss einer vo neuch obs einen ATI treiber fr die 7500 radeon aus dem thinkpad fr Xorg gibt?
[09:56] <stricjux> should i just add the interface in the interfaces file?
[09:56] <orlandu> Hello, I'm trying to install a package called "freeguide", it's on the ubuntu server but I can't find it in synaptic (even though I have multiverse checked). Can you help?  All it does is archive files
[09:58] <azeem> my Thinkpad R51 freezes when using battery after a while on a harddisk access - the harddisk LED keep lit and everything freezes
[09:58] <djp> wm_eddie: well according to the GNU Project website, they recommend 3 distros
[09:58] <Ng> stricjux: did you configure that device to have a static IP or to use dhcp?
[09:58] <azeem> did somebody see this as well?
[09:58] <mulux> randabis: okay, thanks!
[09:59] <Burgundavia> wm_eddie, djp discussions of non-ubuntu distros can be taken to other channels please
[09:59] <jf6> where i can download Wolfeinstein ET?
[09:59] <stricjux> ng: i didnt configure it at all
[09:59] <azeem> (using hoary and linux-image from hoary)
[09:59] <randabis> jf6: .fgi
[09:59] <djp> Burgundavia: apologies
[09:59] <Burgundavia> djp, no problem
[09:59] <jf6> http://www.gamershell.com/download_2355.shtml
[09:59] <jf6> i foun
[09:59] <jf6> found
[09:59] <jf6> thx
[09:59] <wm_eddie> Burgundavia, notice how I didn't mention the other distro. :)
[10:00] <jf6> bye
[10:00] <wm_eddie> name...
[10:01] <randabis> hah
[10:01] <hondje> which other distro, debian?
[10:01] <randabis> that's the first time I told someone to fgi (f* google it) and they actually followed through
[10:01] <afonit> is hoary using a ext3 or ext2 filesystem?
[10:01] <Burgundavia> Afgan_, ext3 by default
[10:01] <randabis> afonit: it uses whatever you tell it to use
[10:01] <orlandu> Can anyone tell me how to get a package from the following location to show up in synaptic?  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/freeguide/
[10:01] <Burgundavia> afonit, ext3 by default
[10:01] <afonit> burgundavia: ty
[10:02] <randabis> my / partition and /home are xfs
[10:02] <Church_of_FoamY> what the hells this gulnaz?
[10:02] <randabis>  /boot = ext3
[10:02] <thoreauputic> conduct
[10:02] <hondje> orlandu: No, you can't do that
[10:02] <thoreauputic> bah
[10:02] <Church_of_FoamY>  i don't even know you don't pm me if you don't know me
[10:03] <orlandu> hondje, do you know how I might install that package if not through synaptic?
[10:03] <hondje> D, even
[10:03] <Church_of_FoamY> or you will feel my squerlly rath
[10:03] <randabis> orlandu: why not just sudo apt-get install freeguide?
[10:03] <[koji] > how do you enable dma on a usb dvd device?
[10:03] <hondje> randabis: because it's not there, apt-cache search freeguide doesn't see anything either?
[10:03] <randabis> sudo apt-get install freeguide in a terminal
[10:03] <Church_of_FoamY> where is fstab located?
[10:03] <randabis> hmm
[10:03] <hondje> makes me think that website LIES
[10:03] <randabis> well then
[10:03] <hondje> Church_of_FoamY: /etc
[10:03] <pmazer> randabis, thanks for the help
[10:03] <Church_of_FoamY> thank you ^_^
[10:03] <randabis> perhaps there's a deb somewhere
[10:04] <orlandu> randabis, it returns an error saying it couldn't find it
[10:04] <randabis> orlandu: it must not be available then :/ I'd search for a .deb
[10:04] <Church_of_FoamY> <---thinks gulnas isa bot >.<
[10:04] <hondje> ah, I found it
[10:04] <hondje> it's in deb-src
[10:04] <IcemanV9> orlandu: are u sure it's there??
[10:05] <IRCfil> Im not using Xwindows
[10:06] <orlandu> randabis, I'll try googling for that
[10:06] <hondje> orlandu: it's there
[10:06] <IRCfil> Basically how do I get Framebuffer working?
[10:06] <chol> snow, update your install, the partition problem is fixed since a few days back
[10:06] <hondje> can synaptic do source?
[10:06] <orlandu> IcemanV9, there are entries in the freeguide directory, but not a .deb
[10:06] <IRCfil> And is it possible to get mouse support in console mode
[10:07] <iBuntu> what command do i use to mount an smb share?
[10:07] <IIIEars> hondje - deb-src?
[10:07] <hondje> IIIEars: yeah, that's where orlandu's pkg is
[10:07] <drasko> how to add flash plugin for totem?
[10:07] <orlandu> hondje, so I need to add multiverse for my source repository, download and compile?
[10:08] <thoreauputic> IIIEars: the Code of Conduct factoid is " !conduct" by the way (in case you were looking ) :)
[10:08] <hondje> orlandu: yep, and it wants java2 pkg for some reason
[10:08] <IRCfil> Basically how do I get Framebuffer working?
[10:08] <hondje> orlandu: at least it said so in apt-get build-dep
[10:09] <envel> Help! When i use seek in totem-xine, samba give a segfault! What a bug?
[10:09] <IIIEars> thoreauputic - Thanks :)
[10:09] <orlandu> hondje, I believe it uses xmltv, which uses the j2sdk - I know how to get those two, it's just freeguide I don't have (yet!)
[10:09] <drasko> how to add flash plugin for totem?
[10:10] <hondje> orlandu: cool....install the other two, then just sudo apt-get source -b freeguide, should do it up :)
[10:11] <envel> drasko, you need totem-gstreamer. apt-get install gstreamer0.8-swfdec
[10:11] <orlandu> hondje, thanks, I'll go and try that!
[10:11] <Church_of_FoamY> whats the command to mount a hard drive?
[10:12] <hondje> Church_of_FoamY: mount
[10:12] <iceonnet> how to play my windows games, f.ex world of warcraft?
[10:12] <Church_of_FoamY> thanx
[10:12] <hondje> iceonnet: pay Cedega $5 a month
[10:12] <iBuntu> what command to mount an smb share
[10:12] <afonit> church_of_foamy:  sudo mount -o <drive indicator>
[10:12] <hondje> iBuntu: smbmount
[10:12] <iBuntu> no worky
[10:12] <azeem> iBuntu: GNOME can do that as well usually
[10:12] <afonit> ibuntu: do you have smbclient installed?
[10:13] <afonit> through synaptic
[10:13] <lonewolff> iBuntu: mount -t smbfs (if you have the samba utils intalled)
[10:13] <hondje> iBuntu: instead of using samba, put sfu on the windows box and use nfs
[10:13] <fmb_brazil> brazilians?
[10:13] <iBuntu> smbmount command not found
[10:14] <thoreauputic> fmb_brazil: #ubuntu-pt I think
[10:14] <iBuntu> so i need to install smb utils
[10:14] <hondje> I'm thinking so, iBuntu
[10:15] <lonewolff> iBuntu: sudo apt-get install smbfs
[10:15] <KrispyKringle> What's the password for the user "ubuntu" on the livecd?
[10:15] <IRCfil> Is it possible to get mouse support in console mode
[10:15] <hondje> IRCfil: Yes, it sure it
[10:16] <lonewolff> KrispyKringle: its blank i think
[10:16] <KrispyKringle> hmm
[10:16] <KrispyKringle> that sucks
[10:16] <hondje> IRCfil: but I don't remember what I was using for that....mcd or something
[10:16] <KrispyKringle> ah, nevermind. i killed xscreensaver from an open console. thanks :)
[10:17] <chol> IRCfil, gpm
[10:17] <battlecat> Hi does anyone know if KDevelope will work as a web editor?
[10:17] <chol> or hondje :)
[10:17] <joxer> Can anyone tell me how to install "libwxgtk2.4-python" under ubuntu ?
[10:17] <hondje> chol: ah HAH! Yes
[10:17] <hondje> joxer: with synaptic and the search feature? :)
[10:17] <crossbar> geez anyone who logged this irc chat for a few days will have a rockin search reference
[10:17] <IRCfil> Apt-get does not find gpm
[10:17] <joxer> hondje, well i cant find it XD
[10:18] <hondje> IRCfil: It's in universe
[10:18] <lonewolff> joxer: sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.4-python
[10:18] <chol> hondje, glad to be of assistance :)
[10:18] <IRCfil> is that a server
[10:18] <IRCfil> ?
[10:18] <hondje> well, it runs as a daemon
[10:19] <hondje> I guess you can say that's a server
[10:19] <hondje> I wouldn't, but who am I to judge? :)
[10:19] <joxer> lonewolff, dossnt seem to work :/
[10:19] <chol> IRCfil, look in /etc/apt/sources.list, read some, and then enable the universe sources
[10:19] <hondje> oh, man....totally misunderstood the Q :)
[10:19] <IRCfil> universe runs as a server ?
[10:19] <Church_of_FoamY> my drive won't mount
[10:20] <Church_of_FoamY> it's supposed to be /mnt/storage
[10:20] <IRCfil> so I guess I need to check and see if I have universe installed first
[10:20] <hondje> IRCfil: ignore me, I was talking about something else
[10:20] <lonewolff> joxer: its definately on my list, however i have enabled universe and multiverse
[10:20] <Church_of_FoamY> and the filesystem is ext3 any idea what i'm doing wrong?
[10:20] <hondje> I see it too
[10:20] <hondje> Church_of_FoamY: error msgs?
[10:21] <IRCfil> OK
[10:21] <Church_of_FoamY> mount: mount point /mnt/storage does not exist
[10:21] <Church_of_FoamY> and if i do it in console
[10:21] <hondje> Church_of_FoamY: sudo mkdir /mnt/storage
[10:22] <joxer> lonewolff, it says somthing like it issnt a innstalation candiate
[10:22] <lonewolff> joxer: one second
[10:22] <joxer> k
[10:22] <Church_of_FoamY> bingo thank you
[10:22] <Church_of_FoamY> ^_^
[10:22] <hondje> no problem
[10:22] <janux> Hi all, can Ubuntu deb packages be used on Debian Sid?
[10:23] <lonewolff> joxer: works fine on this end, try sudo apt-get update before trying to install
[10:23] <dismember> hello there
[10:23] <dismember> could someone tell me which package contains the alsaconfig command ?
[10:24] <joxer> lonewolff, 2 sec ill change language to english so i can give you excact error message
[10:24] <lonewolff> dismember: alsa-utils i think
[10:24] <lonewolff> joxer: ok
[10:24] <chol> dismember, packages.ubuntu.org is a good site
[10:24] <joxer> lonewolff, correction, as soon as i figure out how ;)
[10:24] <thoreauputic> ubuntu doesn't have alsaconf
[10:24] <hondje> No? Cool
[10:24] <dismember> thechitowncubs: so what i have to use ?
[10:25] <thechitowncubs> What?
[10:25] <dismember> alsa-utils contains only alsamixer and alsactl
[10:25] <lonewolff> dismember: my appologies
[10:25] <lonewolff> was just a guess
[10:25] <thechitowncubs> Since when am in this conversation?
[10:25] <dismember> lonewolff: i looked all day..and search with apt-cache
[10:25] <hondje> thechitowncubs: since he didn't hit tab twice
[10:25] <randabis> use the force
[10:26] <lonewolff> dismember: seeing as we have been informed its not there, it would be very hard to find lol
[10:26] <randabis> you must use the force
[10:26] <joxer> lonewolff, care to tell me where i cange language ? lol
[10:27] <IRCfil> How do I get Framebuffer working 800x600?
[10:27] <lonewolff> joxer: i would, but i dont know .....
[10:27] <joxer> lol, ok XD
[10:27] <hondje> joxer: you can change language if you have the right pkgs, whne you log in at gdm...
[10:27] <thoreauputic> apparently alsaconf "caused more problems than it fixed" ( someone told me - maybe bob2 or crimsun )
[10:27] <hondje> joxer: or, you can use scim if you just want to change input methods
[10:28] <joxer> hmmm ?
[10:28] <joxer> hondje, what does that mean excactly ?lol
[10:28] <hondje> nothing, really, just taking up space :)
[10:28] <hondje> joxer: what do you want? Whole desktop in another language?
[10:29] <joxer> hondje, yeah
[10:29] <hondje> joxer: which one?
[10:29] <chol> IRCfil, look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/* and recompil your kernel
[10:29] <lonewolff> joxer: to change the language the output comes in - log out and select a different language from the login screen (assuming its installed)
[10:29] <joxer> urm, first one i guess
[10:29] <hondje> joxer: I mean which language
[10:29] <joxer> oh, ok ill try ;)
[10:29] <joxer> english
[10:29] <joxer> ill try changing it at login
[10:29] <joxer> brb
[10:29] <hondje> joxer: okay
[10:30] <IRCfil> I was afraid of that!
[10:31] <iBuntu> sudo smbmount //computer/share /home/me
[10:31] <IRCfil> Kernel recompile frel!
[10:31] <iBuntu> gui disappears
[10:31] <janux> anyone know if Ubuntu Mythtv amd64 package works on Debian pure64?
[10:31] <iBuntu> had to restart last time and now this time
[10:31] <joxer> thanks worked XD
[10:31] <hondje> :)
[10:32] <xhaker> my mounts on /media don't show on the desktop, only when i restart dbus-1, any way i can change this behavior?
[10:32] <joxer> urm, damn i cant remember wich pakkage i was supposed to install XD
[10:32] <hondje> oh, anyone around here know java (not installing java)
[10:32] <randabis> I know OF java :p
[10:32] <IRCfil> Thanks! Mouse support enablesd.
[10:32] <hondje> randabis: hehe
[10:32] <IRCfil> Thanks! Mouse support enabled.
[10:33] <hondje> I hate how commercial software has shittier support than F/OSS stuff
[10:33] <randabis> yeah
[10:33] <chol> live like this is great, actually mcafee has live chat support too :)
[10:34] <dismember> hm apt-get install alsa-source..where the source is extracted ?
[10:34] <joxer> lonewolff, heres the error i get, libwxgtk2.4-python has no installation candidate
[10:34] <dismember> or where is the place where apt caches the files
[10:34] <chol> dismember, dpkg -L alsa-source
[10:34] <dismember> thanks
[10:34] <lonewolff> joxer: try enabling universe in your config
[10:34] <hondje> java.awt.AWTException: cannot open XIM at sun.awt.motif.X11InputMethod.<init>(X11InputMethod.java:148)  ...
[10:34] <joxer> lonewolff, ok ?
[10:34] <hondje> I'm thinking it wants me to install XIM, but what pkg is that?
[10:35] <lonewolff> joxer: do you know how to do that?
[10:35] <iBuntu> if I type mount, it says the smb share was mounted to /home/me and says type smbfs (rw)
[10:35] <joxer> lonewolff, actually no :/
[10:35] <IRCfil> Framebuffer support is not enabled by default in the kernel?
[10:35] <lonewolff> joxer: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and un comment the commented stuff, or do it in synaptic (not sure how as i dont use it)
[10:37] <hondje> IRCfil: Why would framebuffer be on by default?
[10:37] <jf6> re
[10:37] <joxer> thanks alot lonewolff :)
[10:38] <biezt> any1 here ?
[10:39] <^thehatsrule^> biezt, look around, and see 527 users :)
[10:40] <nalioth> biezt: depends on what you r looking for
[10:40] <nalioth> synd: yer darn right it will
[10:40] <synd> nalioth: hope so
[10:40] <synd> nalioth: so apple wants the pentium-m
[10:40] <lin_> ubuntu is amazing
[10:40] <synd> lin_: synd is amazing
[10:41] <nalioth> synd: don't know, havent read my scandal-sheets today
[10:41] <synd> nalioth: oh i have :>
[10:41] <nalioth> ompaul: use k3b and select 'overburn'
[10:41] <synd> ompaul: maybe because cds cant hold more thn 700MB
[10:41] <synd> bah!
[10:41] <nalioth> ompaul: the nautilus burner is almost useless
[10:42] <ompaul> ths disk in quesiton is marked as a 800MB disk that was what was confusing me :)
[10:42] <synd> oh
[10:42] <synd> i didnt know they made 800MB cd-r
[10:42] <nalioth> ompaul: would you use the WinXP built in cd burner? 'nuf sed
[10:42] <xhaker> i guess gnomebaker is better than installing all that kde libs ontop of gnome
[10:43] <synd> would anyone use winxp built in anything?
[10:43] <^thehatsrule^> ompaul, its 800mb for a so marked 700mb cd... the 100mb is for error checking
[10:43] <Zugwrack> synd: Hopefully not.....

[10:44] <Trixsey> lol :p
[10:44] <ompaul> cos what was really doing my head in was that the md5 sum is correct :)
[10:44] <synd> Zugwrack: i aint noticed that..
[10:45] <Zugwrack> synd: Mostly during more peak hours..and we all know that varies from country to country...heh
[10:45] <synd> Zugwrack: ea
[10:45] <synd> VoIP is fascinating
[10:45] <Zugwrack> Indeed it is...
[10:46] <synd> time for a sandwich
[10:46] <ceu> what should I do to set up the language?  only "dpkg-reconfigure locales" ?
[10:46] <ceu> I've upgraded from warty, and now a lot of programs are in english (they should be in italian)
[10:47] <ceu> (e.g. all the gnome programs)
[10:47] <eraser`> hi everyone, I'm looking for an X terminal that is like xterm but includes support for scrollback and transparancy. I do not need tabs or anything else, any suggestions?
[10:48] <nalioth> eraser`: eterm
[10:48] <Zugwrack> Hey everyone...what the heck is "Breezy" about?
[10:48] <thoreauputic> or aterm
[10:48] <randabis> eraser`: eterm, aterm, Terminal, Konsole, pick your poison
[10:48] <eraser`> thank you
[10:49] <randabis> Zugwrack: it's the codename for the next ubuntu release
[10:49] <linuxgeekery> i wouldn't reccomend Konsole :P
[10:49] <randabis> nothin' wrong with konsole
[10:49] <Zugwrack> randabis: ahhhh...thanks..
[10:50] <linuxgeekery> well, just my opinion...
[10:50] <Zugwrack> We went from warthogs to wind..that musta thrown me off...hehehhe
[10:50] <Sero> grep: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/libstdc++.la: No
[10:50] <Sero>              such file or directory
[10:50] <Sero> Can anyone help me with this?
[10:50] <eraser`> I prefer it has a small footprint; I plan on having fluxbox open 6 of them to fill my third workspace :p
[10:51] <linuxgeekery> then i'd reccomend aterm eraser`
[10:51] <eraser`> ok
[10:51] <randabis> yeah aterm would be better
[10:51] <linuxgeekery> Sero, so I get it you're compiling?
[10:52] <randabis> Sero: you have build-essential?
[10:52] <linuxgeekery> you have the c++ dev libs? (part of build-essential)
[10:55] <lonewolff> root_____: irc as root is a bad idea
[10:55] <sar0man> i want to ask about framebuffer while loading my ubuntu. how can i do it?
[10:55] <randabis> indeed
[10:55] <linuxgeekery> oh yeahh... irc as root = you hacked
[10:55] <randabis> sar0man: you edit the kernel line of menu.lst iirc
[10:56] <linuxgeekery> keeping up with #ubuntu #gentoo and #debian is hard...
[10:56] <randabis> vga=xxx (number for resolution)
[10:56] <randabis> ubuntu should start using framebuffer-ng imho
[10:57] <nalioth> lonewolff: one of those IM aggregators uses that as a nick, also
[10:57] <lonewolff> nalioth: what as a nic?
[10:57] <lonewolff> nick*
[10:57] <nalioth> lonewolff: one of em uses "root" as its default nick
[10:58] <linuxgeekery> nickname
[10:58] <lonewolff> ah

[11:00] <sar0man> randabis, how to edit this line? I'm lame
[11:00] <nalioth> lonewolff: the deaomon uses 'root' as its irc nick
[11:00] <lonewolff> nalioth: ah ic
[11:01] <_Kevin> what is deaomon
[11:01] <hondje> a daemon that runs off onit, instead of init
[11:01] <hondje> :)
[11:01] <Thorngil> can someone help me with an install issue???
[11:01] <nalioth> _Kevin: daemon (spelt correctly) is a little program that runs behind  the scenes, takin care of stuff

[11:12] <nalioth> samuel: try xfce4
[11:12] <Amaranth> samuel: you don't want gnome or you don't want metacity?
[11:12] <admrl__> can anyone help me with adding repositorys into my sources.list
[11:12] <admrl__> every time i try it i get an error
[11:12] <iBuntu> anyone have an ideas for what codecs to use for vlc or a way to get it to get vlc to play xvid etc better
[11:12] <samuel> Amaranth, i do want metacity, just want to try something else
[11:12] <nalioth> admrl__: you get the error "adding" or "updating"?
[11:12] <samuel> nalioth, thx
[11:12] <nalioth> iBuntu: vlc has it all built in
[11:12] <Amaranth> admrl__: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[11:13] <iBuntu> well i had to get vlc-plugin-esd to get audio
[11:13] <admrl__> thanx
[11:13] <lkerscher> hi, i have a little problem with my mpd
[11:13] <iBuntu> but is there a way to increase its cache or how much memory it uses
[11:13] <lkerscher> it is installed, but it won't raun
[11:13] <lkerscher> run
[11:13] <iBuntu> cuz a streaming file is only a bit worse than a local movie file
[11:13] <lkerscher> 8 23:09 : problems opening audio device while playing "Wonderwall - Losin You.mp3"Jun  8 23:09 : problems opening audio device while playing "Wonderwall - Losin You.mp3"
[11:13] <iBuntu> they both skip and step in video and audio
[11:13] <lkerscher> this is the error, someone an idea?
[11:14] <lkerscher> the mpd is running and i tested it with the mpc client
[11:15] <IRCfil> Any good docs for compiling a Kernel for Ubuntu?
[11:15] <Thorngil> thanks for your time Kevin
[11:16] <Absenth> hola
[11:16] <Thorngil> any non-noobs in here who are willing to try to help me solve an install issue :) ?
[11:16] <Absenth> any guesses on when Breezy might be ready for average user testing?
[11:17] <jf6> Who saw Brice de Nice?
[11:17] <woodwizzle> I made a BIG booboo. I put a spelling mistake in my fstab file, Now whenever I try to boot, the partition with my fstab on it is read only, so I cannot correct it!
[11:18] <iBuntu> vlc even skips when playing mp3 from smb share
[11:18] <iBuntu> there has got to be something better
[11:18] <iBuntu> or a way to fix this
[11:18] <nalioth> woodwizzle: have you tried knoppix?
[11:18] <woodwizzle> nalioth. No, I had thought abuot that, I don't think I have a live CD handy now, was hoping there was another way to fix it first
[11:19] <Absenth> woodwizzle, google linux on a floppy, or use a knoppix distro, boot to that, mount the fubar partition, repair fstab, reboot sans floppy/cd
[11:19] <woodwizzle> Ok, thanks guys =)
[11:19] <Absenth> iBuntu, use NFS?
[11:19] <iBuntu> nfs, works better?
[11:20] <nalioth> woodwizzle: is it the partition you are on now?
[11:20] <iBuntu> but I am saying even from local file this player is shitty
[11:20] <Xappe> Thorngil: what's the problem?
[11:20] <Absenth> iBuntu ahhh.....  well....
[11:20] <Absenth> iBuntu, I used Xmms for playing MP3's after adding all the unoffical parts.
[11:21] <kvidell> xmms or beep are good
[11:21] <kvidell> beep's a little fresher
[11:21] <jaysinn> xmms
[11:21] <woodwizzle> Yeah, its my current parition
[11:21] <iBuntu> just as long as it doesnt skip
[11:21] <woodwizzle> I can't even touch files
[11:21] <demc> my PCMCIA is recognized by cardctl and cardinfo and i have all the information for it looking fine, but it won't work as my network card, how do i get it set up?
[11:21] <iBuntu> but vlc makes movies skip when they are local or on a network share
[11:21] <nalioth> woodwizzle: then you'll need a liveCD of some kid
[11:22] <woodwizzle> thought so, No biggy, just means I gotta wait and download one =)
[11:22] <nalioth> woodwizzle: so go hit your neighbor up (i hate ytpos)
[11:22] <Absenth> nalioth can't help you with movies, haven't worked with them at all, sorry.
[11:22] <nalioth> woodwizzle: or a boot floppy
[11:22] <nalioth> Absenth: huh?
[11:23] <Absenth> nalioth, sorry, that was for iBuntu
[11:24] <mikail> anyone here use point2play?
[11:24] <iBuntu> Absinth, thanks, I am installing xmms
[11:25] <nalioth> iBuntu: i run ubuntu PPC and use totem. it works 98% of the time
[11:26] <wm_eddie> I do Totem>VLC>mplayer
[11:26] <kafeine> vlc should do most of the stuff you want it to
[11:26] <wm_eddie> Although I try to avoid things that don't work with totem.
[11:28] <jakobbg> Hi. I have to manually click "Activate" my eth1 (wireless) after each boot. What config file can I change to fix this (make it autoenabled)?
[11:28] <iBuntu> totem for playing what tho?
[11:28] <demc> my PCMCIA is recognized by cardctl and cardinfo and i have all the information for it looking fine, but it won't work as my network card, how do i get it set up?
[11:28] <wm_eddie> I use Totem for video and audio streams.
[11:28] <Amaranth> iBuntu: totem-xine, of course
[11:28] <Amaranth> iBuntu: it plays most things
[11:29] <wm_eddie> yeah, totem-xine here too
[11:29] <nalioth> iBuntu: video.
[11:29] <woodwizzle> Is it possible to play WMV9 movies on ubuntu yet?
[11:29] <wm_eddie> gstreamer will be able to play w32codecs soon too.
[11:29] <Amaranth> wm_eddie: no
[11:29] <woodwizzle> I remeber reading some /. article about someone decoding them, but I can't seem to no matter what backend I use
[11:30] <Amaranth> wm_eddie: gstreamer-pitfdll allows you to use the 3 most popular windows only codecs (wmv, qt, and one other), not all of w32codecs
[11:30] <wm_eddie> oh ok
[11:30] <spiral> hmmm, does anyone here know how I can list dummy packages that I've got installed & throw them out ?
[11:30] <Amaranth> woodwizzle: jlj has wmv9 working on vlc, but i can't get him to commit to cvs
[11:30] <joxer> Can anyone help me install cedega ? i have a tgz archive, but i dunno how to install it
[11:30] <Amaranth> woodwizzle: so you'll have to use xine and w32codecs
[11:31] <Amaranth> woodwizzle: which is actually illegal, so...
[11:32] <mikail> I am trying to find hidden files on my pc, i know about the ls -a to find hidden files but when i get into transgaming folder i can't access program files directory, msg is bad command or filename, can anyone help
[11:33] <nalioth> woodwizzle: you will have to soil yourself (use a winduhs box) to convert wmv9 into something universal
[11:33] <Amaranth> mikail: cd Program\ Files
[11:33] <Amaranth> mikail: you have to use \ to escape the space
[11:33] <mikail> ok, thanks
[11:34] <sinope> how can i switch from the 386 kernel to the 686 kernel
[11:35] <Xappe> sinope: install the kernel with apt-get, reboot and choose the new one in the grub menu
[11:36] <lin_> is a p3 considered i686?
[11:36] <Amaranth> yes
[11:36] <Amaranth> p2 and above
[11:36] <lin_> thanks
[11:37] <woodwizzle> well poop :(
[11:37] <iBuntu> totem seems to be playing movies well now
[11:37] <iBuntu> streaming even
[11:37] <anto9us> how do I re-initialise my fstab without reboot?
[11:38] <woodwizzle> Yes totem does seem to be doing much better. I can't wait for the next version with the integrated playlist. I still begrudgingly use the xine backend though
[11:38] <A[D] minS> how i can add media from harddisk
[11:39] <demc> anyone have any idea about configuring pcmcia ethernet? it's recognized, but not functioning
[11:39] <A[D] minS> i want apt-get install read from harddisk
[11:39] <A[D] minS> not internet
[11:39] <samuel> whats the name of the archiving tool in ubuntu plz?
[11:39] <woodwizzle> samuel file-roller ?
[11:39] <nalioth> samuel: there are several
[11:39] <erUSUL> anto9us, re-initialise? Once written in disk you are done
[11:39] <SirGir> anto9us, mount -a
[11:40] <samuel> woodwizzle, the one in the accessories menu
[11:40] <nalioth> samuel: Archive Manager
[11:40] <siropel> how can i add a script to automaticaly get runned at startup ? ...with user root ...
[11:40] <woodwizzle> samuel, yeah, thats file-roller
[11:41] <woodwizzle> as root it would of course be sudo file-roller
[11:41] <anto9us> thanks :)
[11:41] <samuel> nalioth, woodwizzle thanks
[11:41] <siropel> how can i add a script to automaticaly get runned at startup ? ...with user root ...
[11:41] <samuel> runned?
[11:41] <samuel> you make it littler to fit in the computer
[11:41] <siropel> samuel, to get executed
[11:42] <siropel> english not my native language
[11:42] <woodwizzle> samuel, try the session manager, I'm not sure if you can get it to run as root there though but you probably can
[11:42] <siropel> how can i add a script to automaticaly get executed at startup ? ...with user root ...
[11:42] <samuel> siropel, put it in /etc/init.d and add it as a service?
[11:42] <anatole> hi
[11:43] <siropel> samuel, how can i do that ?
[11:43] <siropel> how can i add it as a service i mean
[11:43] <samuel> use update-rc.d
[11:43] <erUSUL> siropel, make an rc.local script in init.d an add the service
[11:43] <samuel> add it late, say at 99
[11:45] <IIIEars> .
[11:48] <dydimustk> where can I find a clean sources.list ?
[11:48] <nalioth> dydimustk: on ubuntulinux.org/wiki/

[11:49] <YoungJules> (old hardware)
[11:51] <anatole> anyone knows how to disable caps lock?
[11:52] <anatole> it annoys the hell outta me
[11:52] <epohs> Getting errors (beeps) during boot, but the screen scrolls too quickly for me to tell what they are.  Is there any way to view only the errors?  Nothing is jumping out of dmesg, but then again, I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
[11:52] <toran> hey guys, have any of you gotten kmuddy working in [k] ubuntu?
[11:52] <epohs> anatole,  does toggling the Caps Lock key not work for some reason?
[11:53] <Xappe> he wants to disable it, not toggle caps on/off
[11:53] <anatole> toggling?
[11:53] <anatole> i want to disable it
[11:53] <anatole> i don't need it
[11:53] <anatole> i already found a script on win to do that
[11:54] <SLicE_> hey guys anyone using icewm on ubuntu Hoary?  I needed help editing the menu config file.  I don't know where to go
[11:54] <SLicE_> <---noob
[11:54] <Xenguy> Folks, I'm trying to identify the model/make of my ethernet card; I'm looking under Computer -> System Configuration -> Device Manager.  Where is my network card listed - anyone know offhand?
[11:54] <MattS> xen working :>
[11:54] <MattS> just gotta change the memory line..
[11:54] <nalioth> SLicE_: have you looked at your hidden homedir dirs?
[11:55] <MattS> was working with 64mb of ram.. swapped procesors and added 512
[11:55] <nalioth> Xenguy: is it a PCI net card?
[11:55] <SLicE_> nalioth, you'll have to elaborate
[11:55] <Xenguy> nalioth: probably (not sure, but it's new)
[11:55] <nalioth> SLicE_: open a terminal, and type "ls -a|more" and look for .icewm or something similar
[11:56] <nalioth> Xenguy: open a term and type "lspci"
[11:56] <Xenguy> nalioth: tx, trying that...
[11:56] <SLicE_> nalioth, I have .icewm there
[11:56] <arthurb> hi, I am trying to change the locales... I dpkg-reconfigures locales put it doesn't seem too work, when I install packages perl yells about locales
[11:57] <nalioth> SLicE_: so in the terminal, type "file .icewm" and see what it is
[11:57] <Xenguy> nalioth: Am I looking for 'Ethernet controller' ?
[11:57] <iBuntu> arthur, there is a link
[11:58] <iBuntu> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6856.html
[11:58] <iBuntu> worked for me
[11:58] <iBuntu> and I didnt even do the cleanup step
[11:58] <iBuntu> just do the edits it says
[11:58] <iBuntu> reboot
[11:58] <nalioth> Xenguy: yep
[11:59] <TD> does ubuntu ship the NTFS driver out of the box?
[11:59] <Xenguy> nalioth: thanks a lot
[11:59] <SLicE_> nalioth, it says file.icewm
[11:59] <arthurb> iBuntu, I followed the link but it doesn't work
[11:59] <nalioth> SLicE_: "file" is a command to tell you what some file is
