[05:51] <n2diy> How can I find a list of other Ubuntu channels?
[05:51] <mneptok> iain: do you want a GUI?
[05:51] <iain> mneptok: I will occasionally start X to do something, but mostly no.  And I can apt-get X myself.
[05:51] <stefg> roler: does hdparm -d1 /dev/sr0 enable DMA, if you issue that from conole?
[05:51] <cstextiles> jrib: Ya but unixodbc is not listed in the depency list of http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/sun-java5-jre
[05:51] <iain> I just want a minimal system (but hopefully with working hardware)
[05:51] <mneptok> iain: Xubuntu?
[05:52] <iain> mneptok: No, just the command line
[05:52] <lsv> hey uhh, anyone around that knows how to get a bash script to use " or ' characters properly?
[05:52] <jrib> cstextiles: it is for sun-java5-bin
[05:52] <mneptok> iain: server.
[05:52] <stefg> iain: see !install for minimal images for net-install
[05:52] <iain> mneptok: OK.  What/s alternate for?

[05:53] <cstextiles> jrib:Thanks jrib for wonderful link
[05:53] <jrib> cstextiles: my suggestion is, "try it" :)  If it works, great.  If not, then you have to do a bit more work
[05:53] <freakabcd> hi all
[05:53] <aleff> is there a reason for ubuntu linux-source-2.6.17 be different from current linux-image-2.6.17???
[05:53] <iain> Thx mneptok
[05:53] <quiet> hey guys, I have a friend that I'm trying to get switched over to Ubuntu... he lives several states away though(IL to AZ).. when he boots the livecd, firefox won't connect to any websites, it just times out... He has Qwest DSL and their technical support walked him through some stuff, and determined that he is getting an IP just fine and whatnot... I've never used DSL, only cable or t-1/3 lines... can anyone offer some advice?  I have him rebooting r
[05:53] <quiet> ight now to write down the results of ifconfig -a and ping -c 5 www.google.com  for me..
[05:53] <aleff> the source appears to be <IP_ADDRESS> and the binary is <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:53] <lsv> n2diy: I have yet when using " or ' in scripts my commands are not put through?
[05:53] <freakabcd> eberytime i try to install a package t says 'not authenticated, do you want to continue?'
[05:53] <freakabcd> i dist-upgraded from dapper to edgy
[05:53] <n2diy> lsv: man bash.
[05:54] <lsv> mmmk
[05:54] <freakabcd> do i need to do something about the gpg keys ?
[05:54] <roler> stefg; no. It reports that the ioctl for enabling DMA is not supported. I'm on a website now that talks about using ata_piix instead of ide-generic. I'm looking at that now
[05:54] <stefg> aleff: yes... security patches and overstressed and/or lazy maintainers :-)
[05:54] <iain> If I got the minimal CD, would I have to install everything manually or would it pull down a predefined list from the net?
[05:54] <quiet> iain, what minimal cd?
[05:54] <iain> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[05:54] <snail> freakabcd: probably. have you googled for this?
[05:54] <Hoobly> after successfully installing from the live cd in graphics mode, I get a blinking cursor upon boot and nothing else.  Any ideas?
[05:54] <freakabcd> snail, nope.
[05:54] <aleff> stefg: damn it. i have to build the whole kernel just to be able to build my webcam module

[05:55] <snedar> hi! in ubuntu edgy, my nvidia 6800xt's fan is spinning too low, causing the card to get too hot and my system reacting slowly. I don't have the problem in windows, where I run ASUS SmartDoctor.  does anyone know whether I could fix the problem? nvclock doesn't support my video card for setting the fan speed
[05:55] <lsv> n2diy: thank you i did not do a search for quoting but there it all is ty
[05:56] <n2diy> lsv: nada
[05:56] <brunogsimoes> i had i program in /usr/share/prg/exec
[05:56] <roler> It appears edgy is already using it...
[05:56] <brunogsimoes> how can i use it in konsole just doing exec
[05:57] <n2diy> brunogsimoes: just type the name of the program?
[05:57] <joshua__> if i run fsck manually i get: Error reading block (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in hort read) while doing inode scan...
[05:57] <stefg> joshua__: fsck tries to recover automatically what's possible. If it can't do, the optuions you have are very filesystem specific. I can help you with reiserfs, but not with ext3
[05:57] <lupine_85> specify fulll path as it's not in $PATH
[05:57] <joshua__> ok, i have a ext3 filesystem
[05:57] <brunogsimoes> i think i need to link it to sbin or bin folders
[05:58] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[05:58] <n2diy> brunogsimoes: so it didn't run from the console?
[05:58] <brunogsimoes> not found
[05:58] <brunogsimoes> just with whole path
[05:58] <n2diy> brunogsimoes: try using sudo first.
[05:58] <stefg> joshua__: so if message do you get when running 'fsck /dev/hdXX'

[06:01] <stefg> ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/brain
[06:01] <ademan> anyone with the new nvidia drivers (9746) have trouble using the virtual terminals?  When i do that, or shut down, my screen looks all trippy, there's a sort of rounded box in the center, and it's like there's light radiating out from behind it, and then it kinda pulsates, but it's as though the screen is divided into sections, and they sort of randomly swap around, if that makes any sense
[06:01] <freakabcd> snail, i have checked on the net andmostly i see people saying it will say 'not authenticated' when installing fom repositories without keys. but i have checked the keys in synaptic and the ubuntu keys are there!

[06:02] <ademan> everything else works fine
[06:02] <stefg> n2diy: read about the syntax in 'man ln' :-)
[06:02] <Lurner> could you use and example based on the find name ?
[06:02] <n2diy> stefg: :)
[06:03] <jrib> Lurner: | is the pipe between commands
[06:03] <ademan> i'm going to try playing a couple games, it might be when it tries to change resolution (it had problems with it with the last driver set, but this one seemed to fix it) but then i just tried enemy territory just now, and it pulled that crap
[06:03] <joshua__> stefg: I ran fsck -t ext3 /dev/hdb, i get the following: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem

[06:04] <||cw> will the generic kernel image work ona  486?
[06:04] <n2diy> dhq_: i just asked for a list of Ubuntu channels, and didn't get a reply.
[06:05] <freakabcd> mvo, done that many times
[06:05] <stefg> joshua__: either something seriuos happened to your filesystem, or your disk is about to die... get a backup, quick
[06:05] <n2diy> dhq_: try #ubuntu-offtopic?
[06:05] <freakabcd> even quit synaptic and went back in to do the reload many times. tried with sudo apt-get update as well
[06:05] <snail> freakabcd: ok, so the problem is that your system can't find the correct gpg keys, right?
[06:05] <lupine_85> no!
[06:05] <fbc> it a terminal program built into linux to send commands to a serial port??  LIke telix.
[06:05] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[06:05] <lupine_85>  run it against /dev/hdb1
[06:06] <mvo> freakabcd: do you get the message for all packages? or just for some? are you behind a proxy?
[06:06] <lupine_85> seriously guys. this is meant to be a support channel
[06:06] <freakabcd> snail, i'm not sure. because the beryl packages i installed from the ubuntu.beryl-project.org repo didnt say not authenticated
[06:06] <snail> freakabcd: try "apt-key update "
[06:06] <joshua__> stefg: i only installed ubuntu... :p
[06:06] <freakabcd> mvo, just the ones from archive.ubuntu.com
[06:06] <lupine_85> joshua__: did you get that?
[06:06] <snail> freakabcd: the  ubuntu.beryl-project.org packages may not be signed
[06:06] <freakabcd> snail, they are
[06:07] <freakabcd> ask lupine_85
[06:07] <stefg> joshua__: then you disk is probably at the edge of failing, or something went wrong with the install
[06:07] <lupine_85> nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[06:07] <jedrick> hello i just got my ubuntu connect to internet.. how can i upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu?
[06:07] <freakabcd> cos hes the one signing them :)
[06:07] <snail> freakabcd: ok: have you tried my command?
[06:07] <Rambo3> !upgrade >jedrick
[06:07] <freakabcd> snail, trying now
[06:07] <lupine_85> only a complete idiot would have /dev/hdb as a partition
[06:07] <joshua__> stefg: the installation went smoothly, the disk came out of an old pc, i'm going to get it out i guess.... :p
[06:07] <n2diy> jedrick: don't
[06:07] <lupine_85>  it's almost certainly /dev/hdb1 instead
[06:08] <jedrick> n2diy, why?
[06:08] <freakabcd> snail, thanks. that solved the problem.
[06:08] <fbc> I need to control a router. Is there a program I could use to open my serial port and take control???
[06:08] <n2diy> jedrick: Because you'll spend all your time in here trying to fix things, when you could be doing other stuff.
[06:08] <markeib> i have the impression my xine is broken
[06:08] <stefg> lupine_85, joshua__ : good catch... of course just /dev/hdb will fail. yu have to give the part number as well
[06:08] <markeib> how can i check that?
[06:08] <[xDCDx] > hello
[06:08] <mvo> freakabcd: I suspect a over-agressive proxy (maybe tansparent). you can test this theory by moving the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ away and doing a apt-get udpate again
[06:08] <tim167> GUI problem: cant see bottom part of interface because screen soo small, cant resize gui, what to do ??? (applies to dvd::rip, but also Ardour...)
[06:08] <snail> freakabcd: can i ask a favour?
[06:08] <freakabcd> mvo, apt-key update fixed my problem
[06:08] <lupine_85> srsly d00d, j00 n00b :p
[06:08] <freakabcd> snail, yes
[06:09] <Rambo3> fbc what router is controller over serial port
[06:09] <lupine_85> Rambo3: lots
[06:09] <snail> freakabcd: find a wiki somewhere, anywhere and enter the full text of your problem and solution
[06:09] <xDCDx> is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to the 'lock screen' option of the 'quit' panel?
[06:09] <snail> freakabcd: then the next time someone has the problem, they can google the answer
[06:09] <joshua__> stefg: is there a way to enumerate the devices?
[06:09] <stefg> !shortcuts

[06:09] <tim167> GUI problem:  never mind, i found out I can do alt+click+drag to move the window higher so I can see the bottom part
[06:09] <snail> freakabcd: particularly important is the full text of the error message you got
[06:09] <fbc> Rambo3:  it's actually a pbx...

[06:12] <selah> n2diy sorry I don't understand what you mean by "it is next to your "a" key."?
[06:12] <joshua__> stefg: somehow fsck returns 'clean' now...

[06:12] <sybec> o rly?
[06:12] <jedrick> how can i download like winamp on linux using apt-get? can someone teach me.. just new on this linux
[06:12] <freakabcd> sybec, (almost) every keyboard i have seen has one

[06:12] <selah> ah
[06:12] <lupine_85> STOP FAPPING
[06:12] <||cw> jedrick: xmms replaces winamp
[06:12] <stefg> joshua__: ok, the reboot to your installed system and try if apt is still unhappy
[06:12] <Slart> jedrick: first you have to find a alternative to winamp, because winamp isn't available on linux
[06:12] <joshua__> will do!
[06:12] <snail> freakabcd: only the western ones, not the asian ones
[06:12] <Lurner> what is the windows manager on the alt CD and where is it ?
[06:13] <lupine_85> xmms ~= winamp
[06:13] <jedrick> ok how can i install xmms?
[06:13] <grogoreo> hi
[06:13] <Slart> jedrick: xmms is one alternative.. to install it type sudo apt-get install xmms
[06:13] <lupine_85> Lurner: there isn't one
[06:13] <shack> jedrick: get amarok
[06:13] <||cw> jedrick: should be installed by default
[06:13] <shack> apt-get install amarok
[06:13] <grogoreo> why isn't there the python-vim package/module. I can't seem to import it in python
[06:13] <n2diy> snail: I wonder how that happened? There are only 1007 users here.
[06:13] <joshua__> stefg: btw, he's running fsck automagically agian, no errors whatsoever... :D
[06:13] <Slart> jedrick: it's the same for all programs in ubuntu.. you type sudo apt-get install programname
[06:13] <sybec> grogoreo: which would do what?
[06:14] <Animal> Hi I wondered if anyone knows where I can download an S3 ProSavage8 driver, my Ubuntu install is offline so it needs to go on a USB disk
[06:14] <jedrick> how to enable my apt-get thingy? it won't work..  got this error instead "E: Invalid operation xmms
[06:14] <jedrick> "
[06:14] <joshua__> stefg: is reports: 0.9% non-contiguous
[06:14] <sybec> jedrick: apt-get install xmms
[06:14] <lupine_85> jedrick: you need an "install" in there
[06:14] <shack> jedrick and remember sudo
[06:14] <shack> sudo apt-get install amarok
[06:14] <stefg> joshua__: ok, you don't have to report all the routine messages
[06:14] <grogoreo> sybec: allow you to control vim from python. I've seen examples and there only seems to be vim-python
[06:14] <jedrick> same E: Package xmms has no installation candidate

[06:16] <lupine_85> Animal: should be xserver-xorg-video-savage
[06:16] <sybec> like I was kidding about the OMG I CANT TYPE SMALL LETTERS thing I guess
[06:16] <un4get> hi guy, can we update ubuntu 6.10 to nubuntu ?
[06:16] <compengi> what is the command in the termina to set up a pppoe connection
[06:16] <lupine_85> which you can download from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool
[06:16] <shack> sybec: something like that... maybe :)
[06:16] <sybec> un4get: I don't think "update" is the word you're looking for
[06:16] <Animal> Eh?
[06:16] <sybec> SRSLY?
[06:17] <Animal> lupine: I don't get it
[06:17] <rioghal> s/update/switch/
[06:17] <fxr> hi i have a soundblaster 128 pci, it seems to work 100% with edgy ubuntu out of the box, i was wondering if there is any value to updating my sound drivers manually?
[06:17] <joshua__> stefg: apt-get keeps on returning buffer_read errors, i checked syslog, reported I/O errors
[06:17] <Animal> XD
[06:17] <un4get> sybec : upgrade maybe ?
[06:17] <sybec> un4get: nope.
[06:17] <Slart> fxr: I doubt it.. is there drivers available?
[06:17] <rioghal> un4get, "switch" is what you're looking for
[06:17] <madcheez2> fxr: i would that if it works, and works the way you want it to, dont upgrade..
[06:17] <stefg> joshua__: i/o errors generally indicate hardware problems...
[06:17] <sybec> I can see why *buntu confuses the hell out of newbies
[06:18] <un4get> yeah.. how to switch it ?
[06:18] <jrib> !offtopic | sybec
[06:18] <ubotu> sybec: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:18] <nestarita> kkkk
[06:18] <sybec> un4get: grab the nubuntu cd, install the distribution?
[06:18] <phr34ck> hey everyone
[06:18] <joshua__> stefg: will try a different hard-disk then
[06:18] <Slart> hello phr34ck
[06:19] <phr34ck> Slart, how are you doing ?
[06:19] <jedrick> what's the command in the terminal if what ubuntu version am i running..
[06:19] <Slart> phr34ck: I'm all good.. have had my midday nap =).. you?
[06:19] <selah> Can anybody tell me what the heck this means in my fstab file: UUID=ae57500c-0b6f-4dc8-91c9-7a42e93b59f9 none            swap    sw              0       0
[06:19] <stefg> !version
[06:19] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[06:19] <shack> jedrick uname -r
[06:19] <selah> UUID=ae57500c-0b6f-4dc8-91c9-7a42e93b59f9 none            swap    sw              0       0
[06:19] <Animal> >.< I cannot find a single lpace to get that driver
[06:19] <shack> sorry stefg was right
[06:19] <Slart> jedrick: uname -a for kernel version.. lsb_release -a for other info
[06:19] <Animal> *place
[06:19] <phr34ck> Slart, I'm good .. just got back from university. Preparing for my Math exam on Saturday MORNING
[06:20] <Kirok> selah: its the UID / GUID for the drive
[06:20] <un4get> hmm that it
[06:20] <xDCDx> what software is recommended for backup of a whole HD over a network?
[06:20] <jedrick> ok thnx
[06:20] <phr34ck> Slart, I have some questions if you have time.
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: sure, shhot
[06:25] <joshua__> stefg: I have another disk in my pc, is there a way to migrate to that disk?
[06:25] <xDCDx> I found partimage, which is nice, but I want to hackup the whole HD and its partition, not partition by partition
[06:25] <fxr> madcheez2; ok ll leave it.. it just seems the sound isnt as *good* as it is under windows... (i may well be imaging it tho)
[06:25] <stefg> xDCDx: i'd use partimage, but see !backup for more options
[06:25] <Slart> xDCDx: there are plenty of backup software.. check in synaptic.. search for backup..
[06:25] <selah> Kirok OK. So what is that? lol
[06:25] <phr34ck> Okay, first of all. I gathered that there is a File manager, and a window manager. Gnome uses Nautilus for the former, metacity or something for the latter. Is there a way to change only one?
[06:25] <olimpico> HI, I have a question, why does ubuntu take so much time to mount NFS devices???
[06:25] <rioghal> xDCDx, how many partitions do you have?
[06:25] <selah> Can I edit my fstab file to point at a different partition for the swap partition?
[06:25] <olimpico> Isn't theer a fast mode or something?
[06:25] <phr34ck> if yes, why is that? how Gnome is layered? And where can I find the config files for what I'm using now ?
[06:25] <xDCDx> rioghal: 4
[06:25] <compengi> what is the command in the termina to set up a pppoe connection
[06:25] <Animal> I finks I found my driver
[06:25] <Animal> http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/xserver-xorg-video-savage?
[06:25] <madcheez2> !pppoe
[06:25] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[06:25] <rioghal> xDCDx, my 6Gb / partition took about 10 minutes to backup with partimage
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: yes.. you should be able to just switch file manager or window manager.. although ubuntu is kind of adapted to work they way it's delivered..
[06:25] <rioghal> xDCDx, IF you're worried about the time it takes..
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: if you want to play with these things I'd recommend trying another distro... debian perhaps.. and then add the graphics stuff yourself adn see what works
[06:25] <phr34ck> Slart, do you know why when I write ' and press enter int terminal it gives me something like I'm suppose to input something ?
[06:25] <xDCDx> rioghal, not time, I want to backup the partitions because I am repartitioning the system with different sizes for the partition, and if I need to restore it afterward, I don't want to worry about remaking the partitions whith the sizes they have now
[06:25] <xDCDx> !backup
[06:25] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[06:25] <phr34ck> Slart, I can't mess arround with Ubuntu ?
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: bash has some special keys.. some continue the command line on the next line.. some do others.. ' is one of the special ones
[06:25] <Kirok> selah: using it his has the advantage that adding/removing disks won't effect what gets mounted. The format to use instead of the device name in the fstab file is - nothing to worry about
[06:25] <stefg> xDCDx: forget partimage then, it can't resize on restore
[06:25] <xDCDx> thanks to stefg and Slart
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: yes you can.. but if you really want to learn I'd recommend using a more "build it yourself" distro... ubuntu is more a package deal
[06:25] <xDCDx> stefg: i know :)
[06:25] <Slart> phr34ck: in my opinion
[06:25] <rioghal> xDCDx, partimage only copies the parts of the partition that are used. if you back up a 6Gb partition when only 2Gb of it is being used, then you can restore it to a 2Gb+ partition
[06:25] <phr34ck> Slart, I see. Okay.
[06:25] <sybec> phr34ck: yeah! like Debian unstable
[06:25] <k010> has anyone ever had this problem, vmplayer hangs for minutes when surfing then net with IE
[06:25] <phr34ck> sybec, what ?
[06:25] <rioghal> phr34ck, I don't know how to change the file manager, but I have a link about switching window managers. You want the link?
[06:25] <stefg> xDCDx: so any blocklevel backup is useless for that... simply tar and zip the stuff up?
[06:25] <phr34ck> rioghal, yeah that would help
[06:25] <xDCDx> rioghal, it's more a matter of backing up the whole hard disk as it is now, time and space are no limits
[06:25] <phr34ck> I want to know everything ! I thurst for knowledge.
[06:25] <sybec> phr34ck: read what Slart said, I was "adding to the reply"
[06:25] <kanpachi> hello, i'm using dapper, and when i press shift+numlock, numlock just lights up and i can't move the cursor with the numeric keypad. how can i fix it?
[06:25] <matthew> .
[06:25] <kanpachi> please
[06:25] <fbc> anyone know anything about nortel pbx's?
[06:26] <matthe1> i need to get my damn nvidia drivers working:P
[06:26] <sybec> fbc: yes
[06:26] <pike_> fbc: ?
[06:26] <rioghal> phr34ck, This info pertains to the Openbox wm but can be augmented easily for any window manager: http://www.gnomehelp.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Gnome212.WindowManager
[06:26] <Slart> phr34ck: if you have lots of time you could try installing the complete system from the ground up.. but it's more a learning experience than a way to get a usable desktop machine
[06:26] <snail> kanpachi: what kind of keyboard do you have and what kinds did you specify when you installed?
[06:26] <kanpachi> i have just a simple keyboard
[06:26] <kanpachi> i have generic intl 105 keys set up
[06:26] <snail> kanpachi: have you tried googling for the model of your keyboard and "ubuntu dapper"
[06:27] <rioghal> phr34ck, If you "thurst" for knowlege, then I should tell you it's "thirst", lol
[06:27] <matthe1> pike_; i cantn get my bearl and no opengl exe games working any more:(
[06:27] <matthe1> i need mt glx
[06:27] <kanpachi> nope, that's an idea
[06:27] <matthe1> my*
[06:27] <kanpachi> thanx
[06:27] <kanpachi> but i'm not sure i remember which model it is
[06:27] <xDCDx> I thinked of using dd, but I don't have a local second harddisk to receive the backup, I need to send it via the network, any ideas?
[06:28] <HymnToLife> xDCDx, NFS ?
[06:28] <lupine_85> xDCDx: dd and netcat
[06:28] <effie_jayx> hey all ... does this sound crazy to you... I have 60 gigs .. I have two partitions one for swap and one for my root...
[06:28] <pike_> matthe1: ? did we work on something earlier?
[06:28] <effie_jayx> I would like to partition
[06:28] <matthe1> pike_;yes
[06:28] <effie_jayx> to make room for feisty
[06:28] <Slart> effie_jayx: nope.. sounds reasonable... try gparted
[06:28] <pike_> matthe1: had i been drinkin?
[06:28] <xDCDx> HymnToLife, good idea, I should have thought of that
[06:28] <sybec> effie_jayx: partitioning is fun for the whole family
[06:28] <matthe1> pike_; it failed
[06:28] <xDCDx> lupine_85, will check netcat
[06:28] <gandalfcome> need help with dual screen setup on ati. i get a mouse position offset.  help appreciated
[06:28] <lupine_85> it's great stuff :)
[06:28] <matthe1> pike_; i dunno
[06:29] <pike_> matthe1: what was original problem?
[06:29] <effie_jayx> sybec,  last time I used (or misued ) it I really messed up the system
[06:29] <Slart> effie_jayx: oh.. and I hope you have something like 1 GB swap and 59 GB for the rest, right?
[06:29] <lupine_85> just be sure to verify the write went OK with an md5sum or something
[06:29] <k010> anyone have problem with vmplayer in edgy?
[06:29] <effie_jayx> Slart,  I have only 512
[06:29] <lupine_85> other options include scp, perhaps
[06:29] <nixnewb> how do i check my processor type, speed, and ram?
[06:29] <lupine_85> if you can convince it to dereference the device file
[06:29] <N1kki> Hi, just a quick one, is it possible to setup a dual boot with XP with a alternate installation disk, have to install in text mode cos systems are low in RAM
[06:29] <lupine_85> nixnewb: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:29] <h3xis> nixnewb, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:29] <pike_> matthe1: going to lunch you can pm me if you want ill respond in about 30-60min
[06:29] <lupine_85> and cat /proc/meminfo
[06:29] <matthe1> pike_; but i upgraded my distro the edgy it has a upgrade and now the xorg.conf had be changed by me the driver "nvidia" to driver "nv"
[06:30] <Slart> effie_jayx: hehe.. ok.. for a moment there I figured you might have done something windowish like put 20 GB swap =)
[06:30] <n2diy> nixnewb: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:30] <effie_jayx> I need that much swap???
[06:30] <sybec> effie_jayx: then don't misuse it
[06:30] <Slart> N1kki: I'd be surprised if that didn't work
[06:30] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[06:30] <Slart> effie_jayx: no.. your setup is fine
[06:30] <effie_jayx> sybec,  cool... I'll just make the free space and run the feisty cd
[06:30] <effie_jayx> and see
[06:30] <matthe1> pike_;now my direct rendering is no
[06:30] <effie_jayx> Slart,  I'll give it a shot...
[06:31] <matthe1> CAN any one help me???????
[06:31] <Slart> effie_jayx: have you tried just running the install CD? perhaps it will help you repartition.
[06:31] <knight> how can i download all the links in a webpage in firefox?
[06:31] <N1kki> !dual
[06:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dual - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:31] <Slart> matthe1: help you with what?
[06:31] <CharminTheMoose> knight: wget
[06:31] <Slart> knight: get some kind of extension that helps that..
[06:31] <Travela> What should I use for a SFTP server?
[06:31] <rioghal> I have oboard graphics (AMD Sempron 2800+), no other videa card, but glxinfo | grep render says yes. Any idea why it says yes?
[06:31] <matthe1> i upgrade my distro edgy but still edgy and my video drivers are fucked
[06:31] <HymnToLife> knight, get the FlashGot extension
[06:31] <Slart> knight there are plenty.. there's even an extension using wget
[06:31] <HymnToLife> FlashGot*
[06:31] <effie_jayx> Slart,  live cd's are no friend of my laptop
[06:32] <k010> nixnewb, theres an app u can install it quite nice called sysinfo
[06:32] <effie_jayx> Slart,  they run painfully slow
[06:32] <knight> CharminTheMoose: how to use wget will kget do?
[06:32] <Slart> effie_jayx: I don't mean the live CD, but perhaps the alternate install does that too.. just a guess
[06:32] <CharminTheMoose> knight: a bit o' command line is ok
[06:32] <Slart> knight: kget sounds like sometihng that would work
[06:32] <k010> nixnewb, its presents most of ur hardware in gui form
[06:32] <nixnewb> how would i check amount of ram?
[06:32] <effie_jayx> Slart, it'll give both a crack and see
[06:32] <selah> So can I replace: # /dev/hda4
[06:32] <selah> UUID=ae57500c-0b6f-4dc8-91c9-7a42e93b59f9 none            swap    sw              0       0
[06:32] <selah> with:
[06:34] <effie_jayx> thanks guys
[06:34] <CharminTheMoose> oh wait, this is ubuntu
[06:34] <selah> /dev/hda5  	swap  	swap  	pri=42  	0 0
[06:34] <matthe1> ok now its upgrading again:s
[06:34] <selah> ?
[06:34] <Travela> Anyone know of a good SFTP server that's fairly easy to configure?  I'm looking for security though..
[06:34] <CharminTheMoose> :p
[06:34] <Slart> effie_jayx: your welcome
[06:34] <N1kki> hmm, guess no one knows, I'll just use partition magic in windows and try it that that
[06:34] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[06:34] <lupine_85> !ssh

[06:34] <nixnewb> it doens't have an internet connection
[06:34] <HymnToLife> Travela, SFTP is just FTP over SSH
[06:34] <lupine_85> bah
[06:34] <Slart> Travela: secure, easy to install, easy to use.. pick 2 out of 3 ;)

[06:37] <HymnToLife> Dimensions, one interrogation point would've been enough...
[06:37] <HymnToLife> Travela, nothing to do
[06:37] <Travela> What's that?
[06:37] <HymnToLife> if SSH works, SFTP will, too

[06:38] <MrLinux> ubotu: Restricted Format "mp3, aac, wma - wmv, avi, divx - doc, xls, ppt"
[06:38] <MrLinux> why ?
[06:38] <N1kki> oh never mind the text based installation still includes a partioning tool which can resize, so should be ok
[06:38] <N1kki> thanks ppl, C ya
[06:38] <Slart> matthe1: if it's wine then you might have better luck in asking the wine people.. in #winehq
[06:38] <ubuntux> doesnt anyone play games , use fglrx and xgl/beryl?
[06:38] <matthe1> k
[06:38] <Slart> matthe1: although you might get an answer here too
[06:38] <MrLinux> Restricted Format "mp3, aac, wma - wmv, avi, divx - doc, xls, ppt"
[06:38] <MrLinux> why ?
[06:38] <crot> I play games, ubuntux
[06:38] <Dimensions> aneways any one knows how to put lilo or grub in dual boot Ubuntu Macx ?
[06:38] <Travela> Anyone know why?
[06:38] <crot> It goes like this
[06:38] <crot> metacity --replace
[06:38] <joshua__> crot: what's the correct syntax, i can't get it to work...
[06:39] <crot> wine supergame.exe
[06:39] <crot> beryl --replace
[06:39] <ubuntux> ah okay, i can create a script for that
[06:39] <madcheez2> Dimensions: hey did you get ubuntu to start installation?
[06:39] <finalbeta> How do I force an application quit? I can't stop java , even from the task manager.
[06:39] <crot> joshua__: sudo sh -c "for i in *; do touch '$i'; done"
[06:39] <Dimensions> madcheez2:  yeah ...
[06:40] <madcheez2> Dimensions: then it should ask you to install grub...
[06:40] <madcheez2> Dimensions: as a boot loader
[06:40] <mollpld1-> Patricia -rebelde
[06:40] <tim167> how can I make a script for this: save part of an mp3 file to a new file from given start and end points ?
[06:40] <ubuntux> crot, but, beryl isnt the problem right on the opengl performance, thats xgl?
[06:40] <selah> Or should it be: /dev/hda5  	swap  	swap  	defaults  	0 0?
[06:40] <Dimensions> madcheez2:  im doing it with Mac ... and if you have tried it with that ... at the end it gives error ... boot loader ...

[06:41] <joshua__> it's an ubuntu-6.10-desktop image
[06:42] <crot> MrLinux: from apt?

[06:42] <Travela> I'm trying to SFTP over SSH2 from Filezilla .. I can connect to two other SFTP over SSH2 servers but not my ubuntu-server.  I have OpenSSH installed and I can SSH to it fine.  When I attempt to SFTP to my ubuntu box .. It just times out.  Anyone have any ideas?
[06:42] <Jaak_> I changed monitors (from crt to crt) now resolution is set to 640x480, in the resolution settings the only option is 640x480. I checked my xorg.conf, it has other resolution setting there...  8)
[06:42] <crot> what applications do you want?
[06:42] <MrLinux> crot : from what ?
[06:42] <markeib> why has there always to be something that doesn't work with linux?
[06:42] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[06:42] <Dimensions> :) madcheez2 ...
[06:43] <||cw> if it didn't pick them up, maybe they are disbale din bios
[06:43] <finalbeta> How do I kill a zombie process? I can't close java, even from task manager.
[06:43] <n2diy> Travela: Do you have a firewall running?
[06:43] <MrLinux> crot : I don't know ... maybe all I think ... just to work
[06:43] <knight> hi
[06:43] <MrLinux> crot: Help me to find them please
[06:43] <n2diy> finalbeta: with Top?
[06:43] <joshua__> finalbeta: use kill
[06:43] <selah> Anybody? Beuhler?
[06:43] <Milos_SD> hello everyone... I have a little problem with burning DVD's with K3B and my new Pioneer 111D ... Burning is slow (6-7x)... why is that? DMA is on (UDMA 4)
[06:43] <Milos_SD> ?
[06:43] <knight> can i download the whole webpage to my system?
[06:44] <finalbeta> joshua__, kill -9 <processID> doesn't do anything
[06:44] <Travela> n2diy firewall on what?
[06:44] <Travela> it's acrost the local network
[06:44] <crot> MrLinux: you're in ubuntu right now?
[06:44] <facugaich> !wget | knight
[06:44] <ubotu> wget: retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard. Version 1.10.2-2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 226 kB, installed size 1952 kB
[06:44] <madcheez2> selah: whats up?
[06:44] <n2diy> Travela: your server.
[06:44] <MrLinux> crot : Is my wife right now on it :D sorry
[06:44] <knight> facugaich: but will it download the whole website implemented?
[06:44] <Travela> No I don't
[06:45] <MrLinux> crot : but you can give me the link's pages
[06:45] <madcheez2> selah: what is the problem?
[06:45] <knight> facugaich: ive tried it but it didnt diownlaoded the whole
[06:45] <crot> MrLinux: the idea is that you use synaptic package manager to get programs
[06:45] <finalbeta> useless, i'll reboot
[06:45] <selah> madcheez2 I'm trying to figure out how to edit my fstab to point at a different swap file partition. I'm multibooting 2 distros and wound up with 2 swap partitions.
[06:45] <joshua__> finalbeta, i don't really know... :s
[06:45] <n2diy> Travela: ok, there goes that idea.
[06:45] <chrisbi> kalispera
[06:45] <crot> MrLinux: System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager
[06:45] <madcheez2> !fstab
[06:45] <facugaich> knight: did you read the man page? you can use some options to do that
[06:45] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[06:45] <crot> then you can look through or search
[06:45] <selah> I want to delete the primary swap partition and use the extended logical one.
[06:46] <rkgl>  hi, I am having problems in sound ? It seems the device is recognized but still unable to hear sound
[06:46] <kayshi> #ubuntu
[06:46] <IntuitiveNipple> selah: check out swapon and swapoff
[06:46] <n2diy> selah: you have to have a swap partition.
[06:46] <kayshi> join #ubuntu
[06:46] <madcheez2> selah: check that link
[06:46] <madcheez2> !fstab
[06:46] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[06:46] <joshua__> what's wrong with the ubuntu-6.06-desktop-cd? when trying to boot i get an display error?
[06:46] <selah> madhceez2 I did that. My fstab says:
[06:46] <selah> # /dev/hda4
[06:46] <Dasnipa`> joshua__, likely it isnt anything wrong with the cd
[06:46] <selah> UUID=ae57500c-0b6f-4dc8-91c9-7a42e93b59f9 none            swap    sw              0       0
[06:46] <foRza> How do I change the way USB drives gets mounted (parameters etc..)?
[06:47] <Travela> Hmm
[06:47] <madcheez2> selah: edit your fstab then to point to it...
[06:47] <joshua__> i have a tft-display, which says: change the display to 1280x1024 blabla
[06:47] <markeib> there are many applications that do not work anymore here (amaroK, kaffeine, totem, beryl) has anybody an idea what might be the problem?
[06:47] <maddash> foza: clarify your problem.
[06:47] <MrLinux> crot : I will like some games.. a movie player with codecs to play varios formats... and some stuff like : IRC , Messenger , SSH Client and that stuff
[06:47] <Milos_SD> hello everyone... I have a little problem with burning DVD's with K3B and my new Pioneer 111D ... Burning is slow (6-7x)... How can I fix this?
[06:47] <crot> MrLinux: you should be able to find those there.
[06:47] <IntuitiveNipple> selah: if you've got another partition ready for swap - use swapoff then swapon to set the new location
[06:47] <madcheez2> Milos_SD: did you enable dma?
[06:47] <selah> madcheez2 will this work in my fstab: /dev/hda5  	swap  	swap  	defaults  	0 0
[06:48] <madcheez2> selah: i believe so
[06:48] <Milos_SD> madcheez2, Yes
[06:48] <Milos_SD> it is enabled by default
[06:48] <MrLinux> crot : but it sayd like an error becouse Me platform is not compatible or something
[06:48] <knight> facugaich: u r too good to b a man thank u :)
[06:48] <mikelo> i've just installed a tv card but my sound card is not working anymore!!
[06:48] <selah> IntuitvieNipple ok. Do I still need to edit fstab to point to /dev/hda5?
[06:49] <Jaak_> I've shared multiple Rhythmbox players, but nothing happens, how do i acces shared music?
[06:49] <roler> is it unsafe or extremely unstable to update /etc/apt/sources.list to feisty and upgrade the system?
[06:49] <madcheez2> Milos_SD: im not sure then, i would think that dma mode should speed it up...
[06:49] <foRza> maddash: When I insert an USB-pen, it's mounted with "async". I need "sync" so changes are written imediately
[06:49] <selah> Madcheez2 OK thanks I'll give that a shot.
[06:49] <IntuitiveNipple> selah:  Yes, amend fstab
[06:49] <facugaich> knight: you're welcome ;)
[06:50] <selah> IntuitiveNipple OK thanks.
[06:50] <gandalfcome> need help with dual screen setup on ati. i get a mouse position offset when changing monitors.  help appreciated
[06:50] <Milos_SD> it burn DVD on 4x (max in K3B :S ) for 10 min.
[06:50] <madcheez2> selah: worst that would happen is that it would give you an error, then you just have to edit your fstab again back to original
[06:50] <joshua__> is there a way to check the integrity of a newly burnt cd?
[06:50] <MrLinux> crod : is no web-site or a torrent to download ubuntu aplications at all ?
[06:51] <jessid> hello.... I am wondering if some of you has any idea of how to install any template to create documents...thanks
[06:51] <maddash> forza: /etc/fstab?
[06:51] <jessid> !template
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about template - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <IntuitiveNipple> "sudo swapon -a" will mount all swaps listed in fstab, I believe
[06:51] <jessid> !templates
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about templates - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <selah> madcheez2 Yep. Backup the file first iz yer friend! lol
[06:51] <madcheez2> selah: ok just making sure...
[06:52] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[06:52] <IceTux> ANyone here knows of any way to stream radio from a linux computer? Any program ya know about?
[06:52] <MrLinux> crot : is no web-site or a torrent to download ubuntu aplications at all ?
[06:52] <selah> OK thanks guys. I'll go try stuff now. Happy hunting.
[06:52] <madcheez2> realplayer will stream radio..
[06:56] <IceTux> madcheez2: I'm thinking about being the dj..
[06:56] <madcheez2> IceTux: ah, i dont know about that one...
[06:56] <hakrzcode> Jessid: In the folder ~/Templates, place your template files, and it will basically open those files, when choosing New, from the right click in Nautilus.
[06:56] <IntuitiveNipple> IceTux: You mean using the Linux PC as the broadcasting server, or as the 'studio' ?
[06:56] <IceTux> Like, I'm searching for a program that makes it possible for me to be a dj on our local shoutcast server without having to change to windows :-)
[06:56] <madcheez2> ok, so i know wmv is a restricted format, but is there a way to play the files? will mplayer play them?
[06:56] <IceTux> as the studio IntuitiveNipple :-)
[06:56] <stefg> !vlc | IceTux
[06:56] <ubotu> IceTux: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[06:56] <stefg> useless ubotu!
[06:56] <hakrzcode> icetux, try icecast?
[06:56] <stefg> IceTux: vlc will do it
[06:56] <jessid> hakrzcode does not work...is it because the language is spanish?
[06:56] <IntuitiveNipple> IceTux:  http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcast.phtml#posixdownload
[06:56] <IceTux> stef: using mic would work too you think? it seems too simple to make a good show really...
[06:56] <madcheez2> ok, OT, fat free hot dogs for lunch and pay more attention here, or go play bf2142 and leave the room?
[06:56] <IceTux> hakrzcode: I'm on it ;)
[06:56] <IceTux> damn...
[06:56] <jessid> hakrzcode now it works...sorry
[06:56] <IceTox> there ya go =)
[06:56] <hakrzcode> icetux, do an "apt-cache search icecast", from the command line. There are many frontends. Take your choice. I am not sure about intuitive. I am not a caster.
[06:56] <IceTox> IntuitiveNipple: I can use that together with vlc you think IntuitiveNipple ?
[06:57] <IntuitiveNipple> IceTox: You'd have to check it out, I've not used it
[06:57] <hakrzcode> jessid, no problem. I have set this up for assorted word document templates.
[06:57] <QRZ`> Hi
[06:57] <cokeslut> yo
[06:57] <IceTox> fair enough IntuitiveNipple :-)
[06:57] <Vagant> Greetings!

[06:58] <Slart> hmm, looking at a pdf using evince killed my gnome menu's and the taskbar.. how can I revive it? I've already killed the evince process
[06:58] <IntuitiveNipple> IceTox: check out the djplay package, too
[06:58] <hakrzcode> Vagrant. vmware will install services in /etc/init.d/. Make sure that they are activated.
[06:58] <Skyrail> I'm having a few problems: I can't mount either my CD-RW or DVD drive and I keep on getting an error about Gnome settings and its reverts back to teh default window theme etc...any idea?

[06:59] <Vagant> hakrzcode it works...
[06:59] <Vagant> But it does not run "web server".
[07:00] <mpoz2> Since GNOME 2.16 the file selection dialog's initial focus is on the location bar. Can I get the old behavior back and have it focus the file list instead? Or can I enable auto completion for the location bar?
[07:00] <matthe1> ok i need my direct rendering: No to be direct rendering: Yes and wen i upgraded the distro edgy upgrade it seft and my invidia-glx is screwed:( please help
[07:00] <macky> j #slip
[07:00] <hakrzcode> matthel: Edgy, has not introduced composite activated by default. You have to go to the xorg.conf, and deactivate it under extensions.
[07:01] <matthe1> were?
[07:01] <new2ubuntu> please help:  wiping my g4 hd to install ubuntu 4.1, what format should I choose during the erease?
[07:01] <borg> is there a skype client for linux?

[07:01] <matthe1> yea
[07:02] <borg> i'm not on my ubuntu machine so i dont know
[07:02] <rioghal> new2ubuntu, Ubuntu 4.1?
[07:02] <matthe1> borg; yes
[07:02] <hakrzcode> hmm, Vagrant. I am not sure. I have not run the webinterface for vmware-server. Try different keywords, in google? Or just rewrite your original question, straight into google, and see if any quality hits, come up.
[07:02] <borg> ah, cool, ok
[07:02] <n2diy> knoppix: load knoppix, open a terminal, become root, and type knx2hd, and you'll get a fresh install.
[07:02] <new2ubuntu> yes
[07:02] <rioghal> new2ubuntu, You mean Ubuntu 6.1?
[07:02] <matthe1> borg; skype.com
[07:02] <Skyrail> Anyone any idea?
[07:02] <hakrzcode> matthel: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:02] <new2ubuntu> rioghal: no, 4.1.  I have a disk
[07:02] <matthe1> ihakzcode i'm there
[07:03] <rioghal> new2ubuntu, be advised that 4.1 is very old. Can you download the latest ISO?
[07:03] <hakrzcode> I am not going to paste my conf here, but I will find you a link that will demonstrate my point.
[07:03] <un4get> !help firewall
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about help firewall - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <matthe1> borg; click downloads and click linux and read the sections and there one for ubuntu
[07:03] <rsk> okey, i have installed every alsa package and i still dont have alsaconf.

[07:04] <new2ubuntu> rioghal:  can't connect with the mac to download, in fact, i'm hoping that something will work so that I can install a pci ethernetcard and get off dial up!
[07:05] <n2diy> rsk:  sudo alsaconf?

[07:05] <borg> thanks, matthe1
[07:05] <hakrzcode> thanks n2diy
[07:05] <new2ubuntu> rioghal:  cool, i'll go ahead with the wipe/install and see what happens!
[07:06] <new2ubuntu> rioghal: thanks!
[07:06] <n2diy> hakrzcode: nada
[07:06] <matthe1> borg; np:)
[07:06] <rioghal> new2ubuntu, You shouldn't have to wipe first, just pop in the Ubuntu install disk and go to work
[07:06] <rsk> n2diy: dont have it on my system
[07:06] <rsk> and i cant find it in http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=alsaconf&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=edgy&arch=i386
[07:06] <rsk> was it removed?
[07:06] <new2ubuntu> rioghal:  k, even easier! thanks!
[07:07] <hakrzcode> matthel, the default drivers for nvidia, and ati, disable direct rendering when composite is enabled. Since it is enabled by default, then you must disable this option.
[07:07] <n2diy> rsk:  what did you use to install it?
[07:07] <rsk> n2diy: install what?
[07:07] <ciga> hi
[07:07] <rioghal> new2ubuntu, Also, Ubuntu has a shipit program where they will ship the latest ISO cd's to you for free: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[07:07] <n2diy> rsk:  alsa
[07:07] <madcheez2> ciga: hi
[07:07] <rsk> via synaptic
[07:07] <ciga> how do I have libnspr4-dev firefox packages installed at the same time on edgy?
[07:07] <rsk> with ubuntu repo
[07:07] <rsk> i have no 3rd party repo
[07:08] <rsk> maybe its depracated?
[07:08] <madcheez2> ciga: im not sure i understand the question
[07:08] <rat_poison> hi, I'm an ubuntu/linux newbie, I've just installed. I use the Ubuntu 6.10. I need to mount my windows partitions. I followed the instructions, but when I search @ /media/windows but it is empty
[07:09] <ciga> madcheez2: I cannot install those packages on edgy.
[07:09] <madcheez2> rat_poison: sounds like you have not actually mounted the physical drive... you have made a fake drive with fstab...
[07:09] <rat_poison> sudo mount -a doesn't count?
[07:09] <n2diy> rsk:  include my nick, so I know you are talking to me, and ring my bell. :) So you highlighted the packages with synaptic?
[07:10] <rsk> n2diy: yeah and installed them
[07:10] <madcheez2> ciga, im not sure i understand you need those packages but you cant install them on edgy
[07:10] <ciga> and this is the error msg: "libnspr4-dev: Conflicts: libnspr4 but 2:1.firefox<IP_ADDRESS>+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 is to be installed"
[07:10] <Kradorex[O9] > Okay, I require assistance, my Atheros wireless card functioned perfectly, I mean perfectly, everything knew what it was and how to use it until I rebooted my laptop a day ago, now the drivers got trashed by something, and lshw reports it as "UNCLAIMED"
[07:10] <n2diy> rsk: how long did the install take/
[07:10] <rsk> n2diy: i touht alsa-utils came with alsaconf
[07:10] <rsk> n2diy: the ubuntu install? maybe.. 15minutes
[07:11] <rat_poison> btw when is alsa 1.0.14 due?
[07:11] <rat_poison> need to setup my EMU 1212m
[07:11] <Skyrail> I'm having a few problems: I can't mount either my CD-RW or DVD drive and I keep on getting an error about Gnome settings and its reverts back to teh default window theme etc...any idea?
[07:11] <n2diy> rsk:  and locate alsa doesn't find anything?
[07:11] <hakrzcode> rat_poison, edgy has this really annoying habit of scanning for additional partitions, and mounting them at boot time, but if it is accidently unmounted, it appears to disappear for the newbies. It has to be in the fstab, in order to mount and unmount at will.
[07:11] <Kradorex[O9] > Should I just forget about using Ubuntu and go with another distro that supports Wireless and doesn't trash it randomly?
[07:11] <rsk> n2diy: locate alsa finds bunch of stuff, locate alsaconf returns empty
[07:12] <Travela> Alright for some reason if I attempt to SFTP over SSH2 with Filezilla to my OpenSSH installation on Ubuntu .. I get a connection timeout problem .. but if I use SFTP from a remote unix box or the local ubuntu box it works fine.. I can SFTP to other OpenSSH boxes with Filezilla.... What gives?
[07:12] <rat_poison> so, I just use synaptic to get fstab, or is it already installed?
[07:12] <Kradorex[O9] > or is there some way to secure wireless on Ubuntu so it can never get trashed by an unruly component?
[07:12] <n2diy> rsk:  ok, what does locate alsa.conf find?
[07:12] <madcheez2> rat_poison: !fstab
[07:12] <madcheez2> !fstab
[07:12] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[07:12] <rat_poison> !fstab
[07:12] <rsk> n2diy: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
[07:13] <rat_poison> ah, I thought this was a bot command
[07:13] <hakrzcode> rat_poison: sorry, it is a file. /etc/fstab. You can look at "man fstab", for help, or run it through google, for the usual defaults.
[07:13] <rat_poison> :)
[07:13] <n2diy> rsk: ah ha, type alsa.conf
[07:13] <rsk> bash: alsa.conf: command not found
[07:13] <Welsh_Dwarf> join #ubuntu-feisty
[07:14] <Kradorex[O9] > Is there something I can do to have reliable wireless on Ubuntu?
[07:14] <rsk> i dont get it n2diy .. seems like alsaconf is removed or my install is screwed up
[07:14] <Skyrail> I'm having a few problems: I can't mount either my CD-RW or DVD drive and I keep on getting an error about Gnome settings and its reverts back to teh default window theme etc...any idea?
[07:14] <Travela> Anyone?
[07:14] <tim167> how can I check what processes are uploading something to the internet and how much?
[07:14] <hakrzcode> Kradorex, a really big satelite dish pointed at your ap. or maybe can you be more specific?
[07:15] <Kradorex[O9] > Okay, I require assistance, my Atheros wireless card functioned perfectly, I mean perfectly, everything knew what it was and how to use it until I rebooted my laptop a day ago, now the drivers got trashed by something, and lshw reports it as "UNCLAIMED"
[07:15] <Kradorex[O9] > (repeated from my original entry)
[07:15] <n2diy> rsk: Why, what happened when you typed alsa.conf?
[07:15] <rsk> n2diy: bash: alsa.conf: command not found
[07:15] <rat_poison> I've added thils [07:15] <TheMafia> how can I move the panel?  I addicently moved it to the left hand side of my screen and I cant find an blank area to drag it back?
[07:16] <rat_poison> shouldn't it be enough?
[07:16] <n2diy> rsk: ok, try sudo alsa.conf
[07:16] <rsk> n2diy: same thing
[07:16] <n2diy> rsk: :/
[07:16] <Hoag> Is there a program I can use to view animated .gifs?
[07:16] <Kradorex[O9] > I know Ubuntu can support Atheros cards WITHOUT ndiswrapper
[07:16] <hakrzcode> Kradorex, sounds like you got a case of file corruption? Maybe if you completely remove, and install the drivers, then that may clean up any mess. Unfortunately that is part of the kernel modules, so in between the two steps, do not reboot.
[07:16] <rsk> Hoag: firefox
[07:16] <n2diy> rsk: ok what does ls -al alsa.conf look like?
[07:16] <madcheez2> rat_poison: im not sure of your hardware setup... you need to know it... and how it is partitioned
[07:16] <Azul> i want to learn how to read, any help?
[07:16] <sdfsdfsdf>
[07:17] <rsk> n2diy: ls: alsa.conf: No such file or directory
[07:17] <tim167> TheMafia: alt+click+drag
[07:17] <n2diy> rsk: ok what does ls -al alsa.conf look like?
[07:17] <Hoag> rsk: Ahh, Open With > Firefox...  I must have hit my head, cheers!
[07:17] <rsk> n2diy: thats the same line?
[07:18] <phr34ck> how can I assign F1 to launch FireFox ?
[07:18] <rsk> get the same result anyway
[07:18] <n2diy> rsk: no its not, you missed the first al.
[07:18] <rsk> ah ok
[07:18] <rat_poison> 2 IDE physical disks, First physical disk one partition with an NTFS file system (the boot partition for windows) one for slash root (ext-3 fs) and one swap partition.
[07:18] <rsk> ruskie@ruskie-desktop:~$ ls -al alsa.conf
[07:18] <rsk> ls: alsa.conf: No such file or directory
[07:18] <rat_poison> On the second physical disk, one NTFS partition
[07:18] <hakrzcode> rat_poison: that should be enough. Go to Places->Computer, and see if your partion is ready for mounting. But, beware, ntfs is unwritable, read only.
[07:18] <madcheez2> i gotta bolt, see you guys...
[07:19] <Slart> I few minutes ago I had a working ubuntu edgy, I could play games with 3d acceleration.. all was fine.. then a crash.. now I can't even run glxgears without X restarting
[07:19] <Slart> any troubleshooting hints?
[07:19] <rat_poison> I know, I've read it in the FAQ
[07:19] <rsk> n2diy: same result
[07:20] <falso> how i can add my wifi ethernet to knetwork?
[07:20] <rat_poison> totally stupid question: Should I reboot first?
[07:20] <snail> Slart: if you're lucky you've saved lots of the commands you used into .bash_history either as root or your user
[07:21] <n2diy> rsk what does ls -al /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf tell you?
[07:21] <rsk> n2diy: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7640 2006-07-13 16:04 /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
[07:21] <snail> Slart: also it could be related to not loading a module. loading a kernel module and having a kernel module load at boot are seperate operations
[07:21] <manuel_> hola!
[07:22] <n2diy> rsk:   hmmm, what happens when you type sudo /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf ?
[07:23] <rsk> n2diy: Password:
[07:23] <rsk> sudo: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf: command not found
[07:23] <n2diy> rsk: enter it.
[07:23] <rsk> i did
[07:23] <stranger_stone> Hello :)
[07:23] <rat_poison> HURRAY! It's been mounted!
[07:23] <n2diy> rsk: then what?
[07:23] <rsk> sudo: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf: command not found
[07:23] <Linuturk> i need to set a static ip in the /etc/network/interfaces file
[07:23] <Linuturk> what is the syntax for that?
[07:23] <un4get> help . did ubuntu come with firewall ? what firewall recomended  ?
[07:23] <rat_poison> thnx u guys, I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it just happened when I retyped sudo mount -a
[07:23] <malcol> While installing windows on a second disk I managed to wipe the disk that linux was on.  I have formatted the whole disk to Raw.  Any suggestion as to which software will help me get it back
[07:23] <rsk> alsaconf have never stopped working for me in any linux distro
[07:24] <rsk> this is weird n2diy
[07:24] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[07:24] <deus> Im going to upgrade from dapper to edgy, but its the first time im using aptitude for that, and im wondering if im going to loose a lot of stuff, so i wonder if these outputs are normal:
[07:24] <n2diy> rsk: looks like a permission problem.
[07:24] <deus> 1565 packages upgraded, 214 newly installed, 114 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[07:25] <rsk> n2diy: then what could have caused it, i just installed ubuntun one hour ago. i havent tampered with anything..
[07:25] <n2diy> rsk:  type sudo chmod 744 /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
[07:25] <stoon1> n2diy: alsa.conf is a config file
[07:25] <Kradorex[O9] > Okay...
[07:25] <n2diy> rsk: ?
[07:25] <rsk> done
[07:25] <rsk> and then?
[07:25] <deus> there is also some dependants here:   python2.4-twisted: Avhenger av: python2.4-twisted-core (>= 2.1) but it is not installable
[07:25] <n2diy> stoon1:  no kidding!?
[07:25] <Kradorex[O9] > I've tried reinstalling the kernel modules, wireless still doesn't come up
[07:25] <cyber_brain_mfkg> someone tryed pcsx emulator for PS???how to run it and configure joypad???it sais that there is a segmentation foult!!!:( what i'm doing wrong???
[07:25] <stoon1> n2diy: yes
[07:26] <n2diy> stoon1:  and what would suggest we run to config alsa then?
[07:26] <rat_poison> I can use whatever directory name I want in order to mount NTFS disks, as long as it's under /media/(whatever)
[07:26] <rat_poison> Right?
[07:26] <lupine_85> rat_poison: it can be mounted anywhere
[07:26] <mnoir> deus: general comment - looks normal to me.  many things get obsoleted tween releases.  many packages are actually 2 files and a doc for some library that is no longer needed.  Specific answer:  if you care, go over the list.  I dunno about aptitude, but synaptic sure will let you see all the metadata and files for installed things.
[07:27] <rioghal> rat_poison, it doesn't even have to be under /media
[07:27] <stoon1> n2diy: Preferences -> Sound
[07:27] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !pcsx
[07:27] <ubotu> pcsx: Sony PlayStation emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.699df-rc3-1 (edgy), package size 8 kB, installed size 40 kB
[07:27] <stoon1> n2diy: or by hand
[07:27] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !pcsx help
[07:27] <rsk> i just want alsaconf
[07:27] <rsk> :/
[07:27] <rioghal> cyber_brain_mfkg, Does that allow one to play playstation games on a regular computer?
[07:27] <n2diy> stoon1: we are working on doing it by hand, but I don't know if rsk tried Pref/sound?
[07:28] <hakrzcode> rat_poison, /mnt is the traditional for creating mounts. /media was created for the use of on the fly mount points, usb discs, cdroms, etc..
[07:28] <rat_poison> As long as I specify where I want it in fstab, right?
[07:28] <cyber_brain_mfkg> rioghal, what u mean?i can't play at all!
[07:28] <stoon1> n2diy: on ubuntu Pref/Sound Audodetect for all works well for me.
[07:29] <hakrzcode> yes, rat_poison, you can mount anywhere you want, you can even create a folder in /proc, and mount it, if you wish. Mount away.
[07:29] <mnoir> rat_poison: you can use any dir you want to use as long as it is on your machine.  but sticking to the standard makes support easier :)
[07:29] <rioghal> cyber_brain_mfkg, that's what I was wondering
[07:29] <n2diy> stoon1: the perms on alsa.conf are 644, so no one can exectute it, that is what I'm working on now.
[07:29] <markeib> there are many programs that don't work anymore (kaffeine, beryl, totem, amarok) how can i know why?
[07:29] <Kradorex[O9] > I've re-installed Ubuntu 3 times over the past week, I've gone through the same procedure, installing the kernel modules, wireless starts working, then it suddenly stops without a single visable reason
[07:29] <enyc> t
[07:29] <enyc> 1
[07:29] <cyber_brain_mfkg> rioghal, u tryed pcsx ?it works on your ubuntu?
[07:29] <n2diy> stoon1: ok, if rsk ever comes back, will try it.
[07:29] <rioghal> cyber_brain_mfkg, I never tried it
[07:30] <stoon1> n2diy: a conf file shouldn't be execute
[07:30] <mnoir> rat_poison: here is the standard:  http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
[07:30] <rat_poison> thnx guys, you've been very helpful! It's just by first day at Linux, and I have many things I need to learn yet
[07:30] <sharo> hello every one
[07:30] <lupine_85> cyber_brain_mfkg: it sort of worked here
[07:30] <lupine_85> with a lot of faffing about with the plugins
[07:30] <n2diy> stoon1: why not? I run config files before.
[07:30] <sharo> my any one help me
[07:31] <stoon1> n2diy: they aren't for execure, if you execure a file it is a script not a config file
[07:31] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, is there gui 4 pcsx?
[07:31] <rioghal> n2diy, why would you execute a config file? config files are there to hold setting so that apps can pick up those settings from the config file.
[07:31] <lupine_85> pcsx /is/ a gui
[07:31] <lupine_85> personally I'd use ePSXe
[07:31] <sharo> i want to run the magnifier on ubuntu 5.04
[07:31] <lupine_85> it's better
[07:32] <rioghal> sharo, screen magnification?
[07:32] <rat_poison> 2nd question: does anyone know when ALSA 1.0.14 is due for release? Will I be having problems with 1.0.14 RC1 ?
[07:32] <cyber_brain_mfkg> when i type pcsx in terminal i get this: /usr/games/pcsx: line 31: lndir: command not found
[07:32] <n2diy> rioghal: stoon1, in other *nixs I've run conf files, and here it is common to tell someone to run xorg.conf, so what goes?
[07:32] <Kradorex[O9] > I haven't had any other distro dump a device like this before, i.e. driver becoming "corrupt" - I want to know why Ubuntu keeps corrupting my drivers and what I can do to stop it
[07:32] <mnoir> sharo: it might be inconvenient, but you should plan to upgrade - 5.04 is not well supported antmore
[07:32] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85,  when i type pcsx in terminal i get this: /usr/games/pcsx: line 31: lndir: command not found
[07:33] <Kradorex[O9] > I want Ubuntu because of it's massive repository, but I don't want my wireless trashed all the time
[07:33] <rioghal> n2diy, xorg.conf is a config file that holds settings so that xorg (not the xorg.conf) can pick up those settings when x runs
[07:33] <lupine_85> cyber_brain_mfkg: install xutils-dev
[07:33] <stoon1> n2diy: i never head of running xorg.conf, maybe it was Xconfigure or something else,
[07:33] <Maximilian1st> Hi all, I use Xubuntu but I am sure the shutdown menu resides in the same place... Where is it to be found? The shutdown menu where you can choose between shut down and suspend and standby...?
[07:33] <n2diy> ! xorg.conf
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xorg.conf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <mnoir> org.conf is not an executable...
[07:34] <mnoir> uuh - xorg.conf
[07:34] <n2diy> so how is X configured then?
[07:34] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, and when i type pcsx.real i get window with message : could not open plugin/ dir
[07:34] <rioghal> n2diy, as stoon1 said, if you ran a file before, it was probably a script, not a config file.
[07:34] <Toph> i am running ubuntu 6.10. it runs well for a day or so and then i'm unable to load most programs,  i launch the program, the machine attempts to load it, but finally drops it. when i reboot, all is well again.. any suggestions?
[07:34] <lupine_85> so install some plugins
[07:34] <mnoir> n2diy: by certain gui things, the autoconfigurer, by manual edit of xorg.conf
[07:35] <hakrzcode> Toph, you ran out of disk space?
[07:35] <Maximilian1st> Toph, out of ram? some mem leak in some app?
[07:35] <n2diy> rioghal: stoon1, mnoir well it looks like a moot point now, rsk as awol.
[07:35] <Toph> hakrzcode,, it almost seems like it,, not even a terminal will load
[07:35] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, theres no xutils-dev in ubuntu repositories!!!where to find it?
[07:36] <rioghal> n2diy, ok, we'll have to send out a search party, lol
[07:36] <Toph> how do I determine if the memory is the problem?  i have 512K
[07:36] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, there's only xutils
[07:36] <WolfmanK> For some reason Ubuntu 6.10 didn't pick up my USB and Firewire ports on install, how do I enable them now?
[07:36] <Toph> of RAM
[07:36] <n2diy> rioghal: I see ya.
[07:36] <lupine_85> !info xutils-dev
[07:37] <hakrzcode> Toph, it can be the ram, or disk space. a log out and log back in, maybe. try to check the ~/.xsession-errors, from the console. "ctl-F1"
[07:37] <ubotu> xutils-dev: X Window System utility programs for development. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.2-3ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 289 kB, installed size 1648 kB
[07:37] <lupine_85> no, there's xutils-dev as well
[07:37] <deus> What shall i do with unmet dependecies when dist-upgrading?
[07:37] <hakrzcode> oops, "ctl-alt-f1"
[07:37] <lupine_85> deus: panic, generally
[07:38] <rioghal> deus, are you using repos other than the ubuntu repos or have you installed .deb packages manually?
[07:38] <Toph> habrzcode,, i'll check that

[07:44] <clearzen> knight__: Nope. It didn't tell me. I'm looking for the location of siocsifflags as well. I broke my networking on one of my boxes by changing permissions and I am trying to fix it.
[07:44] <matthe1> my direct rendering: No
[07:44] <knight__> what is that
[07:45] <deus> that was more to mnoir
[07:45] <deus> Jowi: and im using kubuntu
[07:45] <rider> hi
[07:45] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, i updated my repo list and i still can't find xutils-dev :(
[07:45] <Jowi> deus, ok. and are you dist-upgrading in order to change ubuntu versions or is this a general dist-upgrade?

[07:47] <deus> Jowi: im going from dapper to edgyt
[07:47] <deus> edgy
[07:47] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, i have dapper
[07:47] <lupine_85> yes
[07:47] <lupine_85> one minute
[07:47] <nemo_work> How does one get a list of available wireless networks in ubuntu?
[07:47] <Jowi> deus, make sure you have kubuntu-desktop installed first of all.
[07:47] <n2diy> deus: why?
[07:47] <Jowi> deus, that should take care of most dependency problems
[07:48] <deus> Jowi: well, i allready updatete to the edgy source list
[07:48] <deus> should i use that?
[07:48] <n2diy> deus: why do you want to upgrade to edgy?
[07:49] <Jowi> deus, not sure if it is too late or not. which packages have problems?
[07:49] <clearzen> What files does /etc/networking/interfaces access to bring your interfaces online?
[07:49] <dustin> hey how do i reconfigure my network card?
[07:49] <lupine_85> cyber_brain_mfkg: the lndir command doesn't exist in dapper
[07:49] <n2diy> dustin: click on sys/admin/networking
[07:49] <erUSUL> dustin: systema>Admin>Network
[07:49] <dustin> i am getting server not found....   and no connection to the internet or anything
[07:50] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, so,what should i do?
[07:50] <dustin> n2diy, er4z0r it sais it can't find an eth#
[07:50] <deus> n2diy: let me go philosphical on your ass: why not?
[07:50] <mnoir> clearzen: none - since it is a config file and not an executable. can you rephrase the question?
[07:50] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, any idea?
[07:51] <dustin> i did lspci and i can see both of my network cards.
[07:51] <n2diy> deus: because you'll spend a lot of time in here fixing things, but go for it, it is time not mine.
[07:51] <Bluedog260> Hey guys
[07:51] <deus> Jowi: http://pastebin.ca/313306
[07:51] <n2diy> dustin: what says it can't find eth#?
[07:51] <deus> n2diy: like what? what issues have come forth?
[07:51] <Bluedog260> just got ubuntu going on my hdd...
[07:52] <Bluedog260> this may sound silly, but as the start bar is so empty, how do you know which apps you have?!
[07:52] <jengc0il> hello
[07:52] <Jowi> deus, did you interrupt the dist-upgrade or did you continue to upgrade dispite the problems?
[07:52] <Bluedog260> ie irc clients, I'm assuming I need to add one.. I know kde comes with knversation..
[07:52] <mnoir> Bluedog260: do you have the applications thingie and others on the left?
[07:52] <clearzen> mnoir: Well, basicly everytime I try to bring an interface online I get these errors. Even when running as root SIOCSIFADDR: permission denied and SIOCSIFFLAGS: permission denied. Any idea how I can fix it?
[07:52] <Bluedog260> yup
[07:52] <n2diy> deus: nvidia/ati drivers break and other stuff, hang out here for a while, and you'll see a majority of the questions asked here are edgy related.
[07:52] <Bluedog260> just seems pretty empty compared to other installs ive done
[07:53] <Marupa> Well, so far after twelve hours I've not gotten so much as a response to my question posted on the board.
[07:53] <stoone> dustin: try 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient eth0'
[07:53] <MarkDetroit> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with a new install of Edgy.  I have it installed, but I can't get X working with my ATI card.  I got it to work on the live CD, but I can't get apt-get to install xorg-driver-fglrx.  I get something like "E: cannot find package" or something.  I have wrking internet and can ping ggogle.com from terminal.
[07:53] <Marupa> I'd appreciate at least a partial response.  the post is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1997057
[07:53] <dustin> stoo,  thanks
[07:53] <mnoir> clearzen: not exactly sure.  exactly what command are you using?
[07:54] <Bluedog260> So I guess what im asking, how do I know whats already on the system without digging into synaptic? (I dont know the names so searching is hard).
[07:54] <clearzen> mnoir: sudo -s then ifup eth0
[07:54] <Marupa> MarkDetroit, What exactly are you typing/
[07:54] <Marupa> ?*
[07:54] <mnoir> Bluedog260: there is no easy answer to your question except the menus at the left
[07:54] <hakrzcode> MarkDetroit, did you enable, Multiverse, and Universe, then apt-get update?
[07:54] <MarkDetroit> sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[07:54] <roler> Has anyone upgraded Edgy's Kernel to 2.6.20 from Feisty?
[07:55] <lupine_85> cyber_brain_mfkg: use ePSXe? update to edgy? buy a playstation?
[07:55] <Marupa> try sudo apt-cache search xorg-driver
[07:55] <mnoir> clearzen: pastebin your interfaces file?
[07:55] <pike_> Marupa: offchance  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and comment out the top cd entry and sudo apt-get update maybe
[07:55] <Bluedog260> ok mnoir, ta
[07:55] <clearzen> mnoir: yesterday I accidentallychanged the permissions in my /etc directory
[07:55] <Bluedog260> a related question, how do you add programs to the applications menu, etc
[07:55] <Marupa> then if that finds an appropriate driver, use the correct package as found in there.
[07:55] <Bluedog260> id like to add synaptic..
[07:55] <deus> n2diy: well, i got a laptop i installed edgy on and it runs smooth as it could go
[07:55] <cyber_brain_mfkg> lupine_85, lol!ok thanx!;)
[07:55] <mnoir> clearzen: most folks start the network using the init.d script
[07:55] <MarkDetroit> Marupa , Thanks, I'll try it.  Lemme reboot.
[07:55] <clearzen> mnoir: It took me an hour to get root access again
[07:55] <deus> n2diy: is it just dist-upgrade people are having problems with however?
[07:55] <Jowi> deus, before I give you advice I need to know if you already have started the upgrade or if you interrupted it when you saw there were problems?
[07:55] <jengc0il> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1197/
[07:56] <n2diy> deus: congrats, you lucked out.
[07:56] <Marupa> YW, MarkDetroit.
[07:56] <clearzen> oh, I've tried that too
[07:56] <deus> Jowi: it never started
[07:56] <mnoir> clearzen: oh boy
[07:56] <hakrzcode> Bluedog, it is under System-Administration.
[07:56] <n2diy> deus: yes, it seems to be that.
[07:56] <Bluedog260> I'm on edgy
[07:56] <stoone> dustin: 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' line should be in your /etc/networkd/interfaces file, and the new sould be good on the next boot too.
[07:56] <Bluedog260> the guide says it is, but its not on mine =(
[07:56] <mnoir> clearzen: then i dunno what perm might be screwed up.  very hard to troubleshoot
[07:56] <Bluedog260> installed from a livecd if it makes a difference
[07:57] <MarkDetroit> Hakrzcode , how do I enable Multi and Uni from terminal?  update sources.list with nano?
[07:57] <deus> I couldnt, aptitude is built so it can better resolve packages, and it keeps asking me it it should "try harder to solve them"
[07:57] <deus> when i say no it stops
[07:57] <clearzen> mnoir: Yeah, If I didn't have like 600GB of video on it I would just reinstall ubuntu
[07:57] <deus> "No solution found within the allotted time.  Try harder?"
[07:57] <mnoir> clearzen: have you tried using the init.d script to bounce yer network?  what essages appear in the log?
[07:57] <hakrzcode> Bluedog260, it is installed by default.
[07:57] <stoone> dustin: and an 'auto eth0' line too
[07:57] <Bluedog260> I'm looking in the system - administration menu, synaptic isnt listed
[07:57] <Bluedog260> i know its isntalled as ive used it
[07:57] <Jowi> deus, then it is safe to switch back to the dapper repos. install kubuntu-desktop. then turn back to the edgy ones, apt-get update and dist-upgrade. if you still get errors. take a note which packages have conflics, and remove them. you can always re-install them after the upgrade has finished. was I clear or should i rephrase?
[07:57] <clearzen> not yet. I'll try that though
[07:57] <Bluedog260> I just want to add a shortcut :)
[07:57] <matthe1`w> ok i used had bearl working and my 3d games working and edgy upgraded it seft and now the driver "nvidia" doesnt work and i had to change to driver "nv"
[07:57] <Marupa> All right, does anyone here know much about tablets and/or USB devices?
[07:58] <mnoir> clearzen: any spare disks to install on and just call yer current mess a data disk for a little while?
[07:58] <hakrzcode> MarkDetroit, yes, you will have to sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list, and then find the lines that speak about enable the following line.
[07:58] <mnoir> clearzen: prolly prudent in the future to make a separate filesystem for the tons of video
[07:59] <Jowi> deus, also note which programs are dependent of those packages and remove them. install them after the upgrade has finished.
[07:59] <hakrzcode> Bluedog260, well, mouse over the Applications, in your upper menu, then right click is a menu editor.
[07:59] <Jowi> deus, now, I need to go. good luck
[07:59] <un_operateur> Jowi, why not just reinstall kubuntu-desktop instead of switching back and forth?
[07:59] <clearzen> mnoir: Yeah, I was going to buy a usb drive to back it all up
[07:59] <Bluedog260> cool
[07:59] <Bluedog260> i see synaptic listed, but cant tick the box :/
[08:00] <Bluedog260> its in italics
[08:00] <Puck_> hi people!
[08:00] <Ianman> hi all
[08:00] <ToHellWithGA> when i restart gdm using invoke-rc.d i get a blank screen on ctrl+alt+f7.  do yall have any suggestions on fixing that?
[08:00] <Puck_> may i do a question?
[08:01] <Ianman> Puck_, sure
[08:01] <mnoir> !ask | Puck_
[08:01] <ubotu> Puck_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:01] <Marupa> What is your question, Puck_?
[08:01] <emss> how do you change the gnome splash screen?
[08:01] <Puck_> i have a problem with my videocard
[08:01] <Jowi> un_operateur, because the meta package for kubuntu-desktop is for the edgy repos. he's on dapper now.
[08:01] <n2diy> anybody see why my connection broke a minute or two ago?
[08:01] <un_operateur> ToHellWithGA, errm, you restart gdm using  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:01] <phr34ck> n2diy, connection reset my peer
[08:01] <Vanuatoo1> Hello
[08:02] <mnoir> n2diy: i have those messages surpressed - it is noisy enuf in here :(
[08:02] <Ianman> does anyone know where I can find a howto on installing ati open source drivers? I have been searching with google for about an hour and no dice...
[08:02] <Jowi> un_operateur, if he tries to install kubuntu-desktop it will get the files from the edgy repos, which is not what he want. he need to install kubuntu-desktop before starting the dist-upgrade to edgy
[08:02] <Puck_> i'm using an ubuntu edgy (was born like dapper, but i done a dist-upgrade)
[08:02] <ToHellWithGA> un_operateur: is 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' not the same?
[08:02] <Jowi> sorry, i'm gone. need to go. c u :)
[08:02] <Vanuatoo1> I've got ubuntu with windows xp in dual boot. grub is default boot loader. If I remove linux partitions from windows will I be able to boot into windows?
[08:02] <hakrzcode> hmmm, bluedog260, it is enabled for me. did you accidently uninstall? for instance install something that brought out the question of the following will be removed: ?
[08:03] <Puck_> i'm using an ATI Raedon videocard
[08:03] <phr34ck> Ianman, wait 2 minutes. I have the package somewhere.
[08:03] <mnoir> !ati | Ianman have you looked here
[08:03] <ubotu> Ianman have you looked here: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:03] <n2diy> hello?
[08:03] <Ianman> phr34ck, k thanks
[08:03] <Puck_> ad i'm using no free drivers for it
[08:03] <Bluedog> sorry guys, my bad
[08:03] <Bluedog> was on as root, not myself :)
[08:03] <reza2gholubeza> Hi , I have problem in my network , i connect to my Wifi router and also i can ping for ex www.yahoo.com but i cant load the page via my FIreFox , is there ant possibility ?
[08:03] <ToHellWithGA> Vanuatoo1: i'd recommend removing linux partitions, if you must, using the GParted Live CD
[08:03] <Monster`> hi., how can I remove the password from my user so I can loginin from VNC
[08:03] <Ianman> ubotu, that is the binary and has no DRI support
[08:03] <Bluedog> Question I have, how do I set a root password?
[08:03] <Monster`> Now I have to enter the password on the server first before I can connect to with vnc
[08:03] <hakrzcode> Ianman, the drivers are there, by default. It is radeon, but you will not get direct rendering.
[08:03] <Bluedog> I have my user account, and its password, but don't know how to access or change root..
[08:03] <Flannel> Bluedog: Why do you want to?
[08:03] <mnoir> !sudo | Bluedog
[08:04] <ubotu> Bluedog: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:04] <deus> Well, aptitude found a solution
[08:04] <Ianman> hakrzcode, thats point, i want direct reding to use AIGLX
[08:04] <mnoir> deus: what is it?
[08:04] <Ianman> :)
[08:04] <Bluedog> yeah, but cant you just force it into runlevel 1 as root?
[08:04] <phr34ck> Ianman, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control
[08:04] <Bluedog> I just did to fix my drivers
[08:04] <phr34ck> download those 2 packages.
[08:04] <Puck_> with fgl_glxgears i have the "little cube"
[08:04] <stoone> Bluedog: sudo passwd
[08:04] <Flannel> Bluedog: sure, from grub, boot to single user mode
[08:04] <Flannel> Bluedog: er, rescue mode
[08:05] <Flannel> Bluedog: but, ubuntu really doesn't use/need a root password
[08:05] <Puck_> fglrx function
[08:05] <Rprp> Well, My I cant See my Turn Off/Restart button in the 'Turn Off' menu :p Can someone help me please?
[08:05] <hakrzcode> ianman, you will have to swap your xserver, then layer the xservers. I tried it, and it worked ok, but random freezes. I do not use it now.
[08:05] <Flannel> Bluedog: that page will explain why
[08:05] <Puck_> is beryl that can't go
[08:05] <Bluedog> thanks :) will read
[08:05] <D7> Anyone have ubuntu on a via epia me6000?
[08:05] <slestak> apt-get doesnt appear to be using all my available bandwidth.  i am using dialup with a tethered cellphone (w evdo) i can surf the web with firefox, get ok throughput, but apt-get only gets ~ 1-2k/sec sometimes lower.  lots of pauses and stops.
[08:05] <Ianman> so xgl is better to use?
[08:05] <hakrzcode> Ianman, do you wish the instructions, to use at your own risk?
[08:05] <Puck_> Android`, after had modified xorg.conf
[08:05] <matthe2> omg
[08:05] <Ianman> hakrzcode, sure
[08:05] <Puck_> also gdm crash
[08:05] <matthe2> stop crashing me
[08:05] <hakrzcode> hold on. let me refind the link.
[08:05] <Ianman> hakrzcode, I have nothing to loose on this isntallation :)
[08:05] <Ianman> hakrzcode, great thanks!~
[08:05] <n2diy> anybody see why my connection broke 5 minutes ago?
[08:06] <tuxedup> I am buying an acer lapto (aspire 5000 series) and the majoruity of the controls e.g. volume up and down are on the normal keyes (volume is up and down keys), will this cause any issues?
[08:06] <ToHellWithGA> Ianman: what do you have to "lose" though?  i have nothing to "loose" on my installation either.  it's already all loose
[08:06] <facugaich> What web server/database do tou recommend to use with RoR?
[08:06] <mnoir> tuxedup: you gotta use some funny shift don't you?
[08:07] <Ianman> ToHellWithGA, :P
[08:07] <matthe2> ok i used had bearl and 3d games working 3 days ago and edgy upgraded and now my driver "nvidia" wont work and had to change to driver "nv"
[08:07] <Flannel> facugaich: Apache and... whatever DB you're comfortable with
[08:07] <behdad_dazed> Hi , I have problem in my network , i connect to my Wifi router and also i can ping for ex www.yahoo.com but i cant load the page via my FIreFox , is there any possibility ?
[08:07] <nemo_work> tuxedup: my laptop has a mute that works like that, and does require a special function key be used.
[08:07] <Enverex> Does anyone know how I can add some colour to the terminal prompt?
[08:07] <Bluedog> so I see, root isnt set up by default :)
[08:07] <Bluedog> gotcha
[08:08] <nnacht> hello, what can I do if my usb-mouse always crashes?
[08:08] <Puck_> ok
[08:08] <hakrzcode> Ianman: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[08:08] <tuxedup> mnoir: yeh I think its altGr+key, i dotn have it yet so I dont know
[08:08] <jmartini> So I'm having an issue with the latest ATI drivers. I get "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." when I run glxgears and fgl_glxgears. Any ideas?
[08:08] <mnoir> Enverex: there is a page somewhere, sec
[08:08] <mnoir> tuxedup: i think that will not interfere with linux but i do not know how you will make it work in linux either
[08:08] <tuxedup> nemo_work: did you have to fiddle to grt those types of things working?
[08:09] <facugaich> Flannel: But what about FastCGI?
[08:09] <Ianman> hakrzcode, thanks.....but that is still for XGL ;-)
[08:09] <Bluedog> so, single user mode isnt really running as root?
[08:09] <hakrzcode> jmartini, you do not have rendering enabled. If you have just installed edgy, then composite is still enabled. disable composite in your xorg.conf, and restart X.
[08:09] <Tinned_Tuna> does any one think it's possible to install FC6 to a 4Gb USB stick and boot it?
[08:09] <Bluedog> otherwise anyone could kill x, enter single user mode and view all files?
[08:09] <Bluedog> maybe im missing something..
[08:09] <dtg> anybody got an idea why it won't assign an ip with DHCP automatically, on a wired, on startup? I have to manually go to Network Settings and disable/activate eth0, and then it gets an ip. it worked before.
[08:09] <tuxedup> mnoir: I am presuming the same will apply for the controls to alter the screen brightness etc, they are all thr F command keys
[08:09] <mnoir> Enverex: if you google 'color prompt bash' you will get lots of links for cool prompt stuff
[08:10] <Flannel> facugaich: fastCGI is compatable with apache.
[08:10] <jmartini> hakrzcode: that has some pretty serious side effects so I removed that section but I'll try it again
[08:10] <Enverex> mnoir, thanks
[08:10] <emss> jmartini: does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf say Load "dri" ?
[08:10] <hakrzcode> Ianman, sorry, until ATI changes their architecture, to the latest, we will not have aiglx or anything of its kind.
[08:10] <jmartini> emss: yes
[08:10] <mnoir> tuxedup: yes - in general the custom key stuff does not work without effort but it does not interfere with "normal" keyboard stuff
[08:10] <Rprp> Well, My I cant See my Turn Off/Restart button in the 'Turn Off' menu :p Can someone help me please?
[08:10] <Ianman> hakrzcode, bummer....but there are people with open source driver using it...
[08:10] <facugaich> Flannel: I've read it's outdated and has many flaws
[08:10] <threefs> Hello all, is this a good place to ask a beginner Ubuntu question?
[08:10] <emss> jmartini: is it commented out?
[08:11] <mnoir> Enverex: write an ubuntu howto when you get back - pass on the gift
[08:11] <hakrzcode> jmartini, ati does not allow composite, and if it is enabled, it will turn off direct rendering. Check the xorg log: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:11] <mnoir> threefs: prolly
[08:11] <dtg> anybody?
[08:11] <Flannel> facugaich: then why are you interested in using it?
[08:11] <jmartini> emss: no its not commented out. It's probably the composite thing but that cause graphics artifacts
[08:11] <tuxedup> mnoir: hmm, that kind of rules the laptop out, I dont have time to fiddle around just to be able to turn the volume up or down on the machine
[08:12] <hakrzcode> Ianman, you can use it with the open source, but it is fake direct rendering. It runs fast for not rendering, but it locks up sometimes.
[08:12] <jmartini> Thanks I'll try disableing composite again
[08:12] <mnoir> do some research - usually there is a kb mapping solution already available
[08:12] <Ianman> thanks for the help all...back to XGL / Beryl for me then ;)
[08:12] <hakrzcode> Ianman, some SGL stuff still will molases on you.
[08:12] <threefs> Ok, I have a basic question with my video setup on a laptop. Is it hard to setup different screen resolutions? My laptop runs in the correct resolution, but when I boot up with my 19" LCD connected, it will only run in 1024x768.
[08:12] <facugaich> Flannel: Because cgi alone is too slow. Do you know any alternative?
[08:12] <h0ax> hi  i try to make a linux swap , but when it configures i get an error
[08:12] <mnoir> !fixres | threefs have you looked here
[08:12] <ubotu> threefs have you looked here: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:13] <threefs> i was searching the forums, didn't see that one yet however
[08:13] <dtg> !dhcp
[08:13] <ubotu> dhcp: DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0pl5-19.4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 108 kB, installed size 308 kB
[08:13] <threefs> i'll give it a read, thanks
[08:13] <Moosejaw> man i spent all that time switching to kde...and i didnt even care for it that much.
[08:13] <mnoir> threefs: do you know that your 19" will support higher?
[08:13] <sasch> hi all
[08:14] <Moosejaw> i guess its whatever u first start out with eh?
[08:14] <threefs> I run my 19" in 1280x1024 in Windows
[08:14] <mnoir> threefs: that link might not be that helpful for you :(
[08:14] <threefs> that's the preferred resolution
[08:14] <Flannel> facugaich: I actually have never heard of any problems with FastCGI. You might double check your sources on that
[08:14] <mnoir> threefs: oic - then the link might help
[08:15] <facugaich> Flannel: Maybe they we're referring to Windows version, I don't know, thanks anyway. Another question, what are the latest working versions of apache/mysql for dapper? 2.3/5.0?
[08:15] <mnoir> Moosejaw: to a great extent.  i prefer kde cuz i started there :)
[08:15] <facugaich> 2.2
[08:16] <h0ax> hi  i try to make a linux swap , but when it configures i get an error
[08:16] <threefs> Ok, just wasn't sure if needing to be able to switch back and forth between 2 different monitors (laptop screen and the LCD) and resolutions would cause problems
[08:16] <madcheez1> ok, this config runs so good... now if i can just keep from breakin it
[08:16] <Moosejaw> mnoir:  I started in gnome, and after the learning curve and some modified themes etc it is just as functional as kde
[08:16] <jmartini> looks like I'll need to live without dri. disabling composite rendering totally screws things up
[08:16] <dtg> anybody got an idea why it won't assign an ip with DHCP automatically, on a wired, on startup? I have to manually go to Network Settings and disable/activate eth0, and then it gets an ip. it worked before.
[08:16] <Moosejaw> i kinda wish i started with kde, but no point switching now
[08:16] <Moosejaw> hehe
[08:16] <mnoir> Moosejaw: functional yes - some just do not like the decorations as well
[08:17] <madcheez1> hell, gnome can be so configured that its better than kde... to me anyways..
[08:17] <h0ax> hi  i try to make a linux swap , but when it configures i get an error
[08:17] <nolimitsoya> how do i add a new logical partition to an existing extended one? gparted wont let me, saying that i can only have four primary, not allowing me to add to the extended table..
[08:17] <hakrzcode> jmartini? Really? Usually enabling composite, messes things up. I have not seen your type of problem before.
[08:18] <Flannel> facugaich: 2.0.55 and... well, SQL5, no idea about minor version, you can check : packages.ubuntu.com
[08:18] <stoone> dtg: what is in your /etc/netwrok/interfaces? is there two lines 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' and 'eth0 auto'?
[08:18] <hakrzcode> I am up to date with the drivers. I even download from ATI, whenever they announce a new version. I keep crossing my fingers for composite support.
[08:18] <facugaich> Flannel: Ok, thanks
[08:18] <mnoir> threefs: there is the issue of audodetecting which mon to use and i do not know the ins and outs of configging that.  fortunately cmd/alt/+/- is there to switch instantly
[08:18] <Lynx-> will something bad happen if I disable starting usplash during boot/shutdown?
[08:18] <sladen> Lynx-: just remove 'splash' from the kernel command line
[08:19] <nolimitsoya> Lynx-, no
[08:19] <k31th> wow audiophile usb works out of the box with ubuntu
[08:19] <gh0st> hello, i have some software installed which i do NOT want to upgrade for some reasons; how can i tell this to the update manager? (so that it doesn't check for its updates...)
[08:19] <jmartini> hakrzcode: yeah I was hoping that this last one would make a difference. Disabling Composite generates so many rendering issues that I end up setting it back to the default
[08:19] <Lynx-> I'll get a textmode screen with various messages, right?
[08:19] <stoone> h0ax: what are the syndromes? error, etc?
[08:19] <nolimitsoya> k31th, all envy-cards do :)
[08:19] <nolimitsoya> Lynx-, yes
[08:20] <MAD_DOG> Hello lads.. Got a prob with my samba-server. cant access the files on my ubuntu server from windows - it require user and passw.
[08:20] <Lynx-> good, that's what I need
[08:20] <nolimitsoya> Lynx-, if you want to see them all, remove the 'quiet' too
[08:20] <Enverex> mnoir, yay, pretty prompt, heh, thanks
[08:20] <k31th> nolimitsoya: envy?
[08:20] <hakrzcode> jmartini, ATI gods do not like you I guess. I am just fine with my X700 mobile chip.
[08:20] <nolimitsoya> k31th, the chipset
[08:20] <mnoir> Enverex: :)
[08:20] <k31th> its an m-audio usb
[08:20] <Hoxxin> im gonna install ubuntu for a friend, shes very addicted to msn, would amsn be the most suitable msnclient for her?
[08:20] <nolimitsoya> k31th, yes, and the chipset used in most maudio stuff is via envy
[08:20] <jmartini> hakrzcode: care to msg me your xorg.conf for reference?
[08:20] <mnoir> Enverex: there is the hazard of making a prompt that takes 5 lines :)
[08:20] <hakrzcode> no problem jmartini.
[08:21] <music_> ok i used had bearl and 3d games working 3 days ago and edgy upgraded and now my driver "nvidia" wont work and had to change to driver "nv"
[08:21] <jmartini> hakrzcode: thanks
[08:21] <mnoir> Enverex: i mean with all the stuff ya can put in
[08:21] <Enverex> mnoir, erm, this is pretty much the same as before, but just in colour now so it's easier to spot
[08:21] <Lynx-> btw, is there a way to display all those messages in usplash, too? the feature was present in previous versions of ubuntu, but now I don't see anything but ubuntu logo and a progress bar.
[08:21] <k31th> nolimitsoya: oh right, seems decent quality.
[08:21] <mozart> hi, all
[08:21] <nolimitsoya> k31th, very :)
[08:21] <Batman> #linux
[08:21] <quiet> oh noes! don't remove the 'quiet' !!
[08:21] <quiet> ;
[08:21] <quiet> ;)
[08:21] <rioghal> hahaha
[08:22] <k31th> nolimitsoya: do you do any real time mixing in linux?
[08:22] <nemo_work> does anyone know how to display a list of available wireless networks?
[08:22] <gh0st> hello, i have some software installed which i do NOT want to update for some reasons; how can i tell this to the update manager? (so that it doesn't check for its updates...)
[08:22] <mnoir> Enverex: i have all the color stuff enables so grep hilights, vi highlights and every other pgm that knows color highlights.  i consider that and the programmable auto-complete to be the best things that ever happened to the commandline
[08:22] <nolimitsoya> k31th, no, but if you do: check out musix and jack :)
[08:22] <SuperLag> I am operating under the impression that it's best to use synaptic to update Ubuntu, rather than apt? I thought I heard someone say if you use both, that Synaptic wouldn't be "in sync" with apt
[08:22] <k31th> musix/
[08:23] <k31th> i know of jack.
[08:23] <SuperLag> is there any truth to that?
[08:23] <Flannel> gh0st: all updates are checked at the same time, same file.
[08:23] <nolimitsoya> k31th, and btw, stay away from edgy; horrible latencyproblems
[08:23] <mnoir> SuperLag: synaptic and apt are the same underlying database
[08:23] <rioghal> SuperLag, Synaptic is a GUI front-end to apt
[08:23] <SuperLag> that's what I thought
[08:23] <gh0st> Flannel: so i can't exclude some specific ones to never check
[08:23] <emss> SuperLag: use aptitude
[08:23] <Bluedog> hmm I'm in XChat
[08:23] <SuperLag> so if all I have access to is CLI, at one point, using apt is fine?
[08:23] <rioghal> SuperLag, are you on Dapper or Edgy?
[08:23] <madcheez1> nemo_work: iwlist eth1 scan
[08:23] <Bluedog> how do I open another server window? :D
[08:23] <SuperLag> Edgy
[08:23] <Bluedog> thanks again guys
[08:24] <SuperLag> rioghal: Edgy
[08:24] <marcell_> I've installed nvidia driver for dapper, but in gnome text on buttons, and web etc. are insvisible, till I refresh it. glxgears freezes my xsession. So what to do?
[08:24] <mnoir> Bluedog: server window??
[08:24] <Bluedog> yeah
[08:24] <Bluedog> a second one
[08:24] <nolimitsoya> how do i add a new logical partition to an existing extended one?
[08:24] <mnoir> whazzat?
[08:24] <nemo_work> madcheez1: thanks. now, my mom is trying to get used to ubuntu
[08:24] <nemo_work> is there a gui method?
[08:24] <Bluedog> well, a connection to a seperate irc server
[08:24] <rioghal> SuperLag, Ok, the version of apt-get in Edgy has a new option, --auto-remove, that will remove unused deps along with an app if you remove an app.. the version of apt-get in Dapper didn't have this functionality.
[08:25] <rioghal> SuperLag, That is one reason why some folks recommend aptitude over apt-get
[08:25] <Flannel> gh0st: it may be possible to exclude it from telling you about them, but no.  You download a gzip of the current version information for all the packages, so you can't cherry pick new version information
[08:25] <mnoir> Bluedog: oh, I see - i use knoversation and multi server is built in so i do not know
[08:25] <Bluedog> d'oh :D ok thx anyway
[08:25] <Rprp> Well, My I cant See my Turn Off/Restart button in the 'Turn Off' menu :p Can someone help me please?
[08:25] <hakrzcode> jmartini: xorg transfer aborted. here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1201/
[08:26] <jmartini> hakrzcode: thanks,
[08:26] <hakrzcode> jmartini: np
[08:26] <Flannel> !pin | gh0st, pinning is how you'd do it.  I don't know if it'll get them out of being in update-manager though.
[08:26] <ubotu> gh0st, pinning is how you'd do it.  I don't know if it'll get them out of being in update-manager though.: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[08:26] <madcheez1> um, there is a program that will do it
[08:26] <madcheez1> you have to install it
[08:26] <madcheez1> man, the channel is laggin bad..
[08:26] <mnoir> Rprp: are you saying that System -> Admin -> quit is not there?
[08:26] <madcheez1> nemo_work: use synaptic package manager to find one you like...
[08:27] <gh0st> Flannel: thanks, that could do it
[08:27] <matthe4> ok i used had bearl and 3d games working 3 days ago and edgy upgraded and now my driver "nvidia" wont work and had to change to driver "nv"
[08:27] <Rprp> mnoir: sort of, i mean that 'REd button; :p
[08:27] <habeeb> Seems like Tseliot's depo for ATI drivers is not working.
[08:27] <n2diy_> why does my connection keep breaking? It just started in the last half hour?
[08:28] <SuperLag> rioghal: nice
[08:28] <mnoir> Rprp: so you get the colorful box but shut down is missing??
[08:28] <||cw> wee!  I have edgy installed a HP network scanjet 5
[08:28] <mnoir> Rprp: that's odd - never seen that (or NOT seen that) before.
[08:28] <Rprp> No, but if i click on that bUtton, i dont see 'Turn off or Resttart Change user etc is in it
[08:28] <nemo_work> madcheez1: I spent some time looking online for one.
[08:29] <nemo_work> madcheez1: thought I had located one actually.
[08:29] <mnoir> Rprp: what do you see and what release 6.06 or 6.10?
[08:29] <||cw> couple Q's though, the "setting preliminary keymap" that happens right after the initramfs scripts, where is that and how can I make it faster
[08:29] <nemo_work> what moderately surprises me is that network-admin doesn't show it in the wireless dropdown list
[08:29] <Rprp> 6.06
[08:29] <mnoir> Rprp: and gnome or kde?
[08:29] <rioghal> Rprp, System -> Administration -> Login Window.. and check to see if the "Show Actions Menu" is checked (it's just under "Meny Bar" on the first tab).
[08:29] <Rprp> errrrr... mnoir i dont see 'Turn Off' Gnome
[08:29] <habeeb> Seems like Tseliot's depo for ATI drivers is not working. Any ideas on how to fix it?
[08:29] <Rprp> Aight
[08:29] <rioghal> Rprp, If that is unchecked, it will remove some of the features on the logout dialog.
[08:30] <marshall> whats up guys
[08:30] <Rprp> rioghal: its not checked, i will see if its working
[08:30] <matthe1> ok i used had bearl and 3d games working 3 days ago and edgy upgraded and now my driver "nvidia" wont work and had to change to driver "nv"
[08:30] <mnoir> Rprp: nm - answer rioghal's question - more important
[08:30] <marshall> anybody know how to install a .ttf font?
[08:30] <Rprp> rioghal: it works.
[08:30] <rioghal> Rprp, check that box and see what ahppens
[08:30] <Rprp> mnoir: fixed.
[08:30] <madcheez1> mnoir: just so you know, everything is working perfect for now using automatix... not that its a good thing, but watching dvds, all video files, etc work. im happy...
[08:30] <rioghal> ah, cool
[08:30] <Rprp> Thnx
[08:30] <rioghal> yw
[08:30] <mnoir> madcheez1: doesnt change the unreliability of the tool
[08:30] <emss> matthe1: might know the problem
[08:31] <madcheez1> mnoir: well, i believe in fixing it versus running from it... feel the same way about ubuntu...
[08:31] <mnoir> madcheez1: but i am happy for you - now stick around to help fix the next poor soul for whom it fails
[08:31] <marcell_> I've installed nvidia driver for dapper, but in gnome text on buttons, and web etc. are insvisible, till I refresh it. glxgears freezes my xsession. So what to do?
[08:31] <madcheez1> mnoir: hahahaha
[08:32] <rioghal>
[08:32] <mnoir> rioghal: how did you do that?
[08:32] <nemo_work> madcheez1: network-manager-gnome seemed likely.  however it didn't actually install anything
[08:32] <emss> matthe1: do you use nvidia-legacy?
[08:32] <marshall> anybody know how to install a .ttf font?
[08:32] <rioghal> mnoir, I copied the smiley from someone else and pasted it into xchat's auto replace feature
[08:32] <mnoir> rioghal: oh, I see
[08:33] <madcheez1> nemo_work: im sure it did install.. you just have to get it working.. and its probably in the back ground working..
[08:33] <nemo_work> heh
[08:33] <nemo_work> could well be. could be some applet
[08:33] <Rprp> rioghal: do you maybe know how i can get 'Sleep Mode' to my PC? I got it on my laptop, But still not on my pc ;[
[08:33] <senorJ> Hello all I'm a newb - I can't sort the Java plugin for firefox in 6.06 - I've read & tried everything I could find on ubuntu.org & forums - can anyone help
[08:33] <nemo_work> madcheez1: I didn't think it installed because apt-file didn't return anything
[08:33] <madcheez1> nemo_work: you having trouble seeing your wireless?
[08:33] <stoone> marshall: http://www.smorgasbord.net/how_to_install_true_type_fonts_ubuntu_linux
[08:33] <nemo_work> madcheez1: but it seems that apt-file isn't returning anything
[08:33] <madcheez1> apt-file wont...
[08:33] <mnoir> marshall: commandline: copy font into your font directory and bounce X is the no brains way
[08:33] <nemo_work> madcheez1: command you gave worked, just wanted to give her a nice set of instructions
[08:33] <Flannel> !fonts | marshall
[08:33] <ubotu> marshall: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[08:33] <madcheez1> nemo_work: apt-file wont
[08:34] <rioghal> Rprp, The only thing I can tell is to have a look at System -> Preferences -> Power Management.. other than that, I don't know.
[08:34] <mnoir> marshall: but that link should be better
[08:34] <Flannel> !java | senorJ
[08:34] <ubotu> senorJ: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[08:34] <Rprp> ok, ty
[08:34] <k31th> nolimitsoya: do you know of any real time mixing software?
[08:34] <k31th> For mixing audio tracks, some thing like traktor.
[08:34] <dushko> Is Herd 2 still being released today?
[08:34] <Flannel> dushko: #ubuntu+1
[08:34] <nolimitsoya> k31th, nope, but check out the software included in musix
[08:35] <nemo_work> madcheez1: ah. I'm relatively unfamiliar with debian's package manager.  I thought that was the utility to actually show what the package installed
[08:35] <madcheez1> nemo_work: the command is sudo apt-get install
[08:35] <senorJ> ubotu: I enabled multiverse and tried that link
[08:35] <madcheez1> nemo_work: then the program name
[08:35] <k31th> nolimitsoya: I know of mixxx and wired.
[08:35] <Flannel> senorJ: and what problems did you run into?
[08:35] <nemo_work> madcheez1: um. I know that much at least
[08:35] <nemo_work> madcheez1: I'm trying to see what the package actually installed
[08:35] <madcheez1> nemo_work: ah
[08:36] <rioghal> senorJ, if you enable a new repo, you have to do 'sudo apt-get update' so that apt can see the new package listr
[08:36] <nemo_work> thus apt-file show/list packagename
[08:36] <nemo_work> which does nada
[08:36] <Flannel> nemo_work, madcheez1, dpkg -l | grep [whatever]
[08:36] <rioghal> nemo_work, what does dpkg -L appname do ?
[08:36] <madcheez1> nemo_work: yep
[08:36] <marshall> thanks mnoir, Flannel and stoone
[08:36] <nemo_work> theeeere we go
[08:36] <[dot] Al> Himura, Im having a bit of a problem with my wireless card, I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear, but how do I set up Ubuntu to use a static ip. Im a newbie to Linux btw :)
[08:36] <nemo_work> sweet
[08:36] <nolimitsoya> how do i add a new logical partition to an existing extended one?
[08:36] <nemo_work> thanks
[08:36] <rioghal> nemo_work, nm, see what Flannel posted
[08:37] <nemo_work> guess I should uninstall this apt-file thing
[08:37] <nemo_work> since it is bloody useless
[08:37] <paulinster> Hi All,  I am having an issue with SSH. I can't get the proper return value when sending remote command
[08:37] <Flannel> nemo_work: you can't.  it's part of apt
[08:37] <senorJ> When I close and re-open firefox I still get the install plugin icon in java applets
[08:37] <madcheez1> nemo_work: pretty much
[08:37] <nemo_work> Flannel: I did apt-get install apt-file
[08:37] <nemo_work> Flannel: since apt-file didn't exist
[08:37] <[dot] Al>  Im having a bit of a problem with my wireless card, I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear, but how do I set up Ubuntu to use a static ip. Im a newbie to Linux btw :)
[08:37] <Flannel> nemo_work: oh, um, nevermind. right.
[08:37] <stoone> nolimitsoya: man fdisk
[08:38] <Bluedog> anyone know a good alternative to gaim?
[08:38] <Bluedog> The contacts in the list are just so big
[08:38] <Bluedog> Or a way to change the style..
[08:38] <mnoir> paulinster: that may be tricky - i bet you are getting the rtn code of the ssh command
[08:38] <Flannel> senorJ: But you completed all of the instructions on the wiki page?
[08:38] <xamox> I have a SSH tunnel setup to my home machine doing dynamic forwarding. Is it possible to use/mount my SMB share at home on my windows MAchine at work?
[08:38] <stoone> Bluedog: gaim is the best!:)
[08:38] <jmartini> hakrzcode: no joy, its either no rendering issues and the error or no error and massive rendering artifacts. Thanks anyway though.
[08:39] <paulinster> mnoir: yup it look to be the reutnr value of ssh ..
[08:39] <nolimitsoya> stoone, i wouldnt have thought this could be done with gparted, since thats what i used to create all the current logical partitions in the first lace
[08:39] <nolimitsoya> *place
[08:39] <emss> Bluedog: Buddies/Show buddy details
[08:39] <emss> Bluedog: uncheck it
[08:39] <nemo_work> ah. nm-applet. and launching it over ssh -YC seems to show it doesn't do much
[08:39] <nemo_work> welp. back to the drawing board.
[08:39] <hakrzcode> jmartini, sorry to here that. oh well.
[08:39] <Bluedog> emss: legend :)
[08:39] <nolimitsoya> stoone, would that constitute a bug?
[08:39] <paulinster> mnoir: the commande I am trying is the following ssh servername 'exit 11';echo $?
[08:40] <senorJ> away
[08:40] <nemo_work> this musn't be an uncommon problem. surely many folks using ubuntu need to use it with wireless
[08:40] <stoone> nolimitsoya: can't tell if it is a bug without seeing it...
[08:40] <nemo_work> maybe network-admin is malfunctioning
[08:40] <[2c] orudie> hey! i'm on top now
[08:40] <mnoir> paulinster: what happens when you put the echo $? IN the quotes?
[08:40] <[dot] Al> how do you configure gnome network manager for static ips?
[08:41] <nemo_work> seemed to me the intuitive thing would be to have the network name dropdown show a list of available networks
[08:41] <selah> Well it worked. Although I ended up just changing my UID over to the one for /dev/hd5. Now my swap drive is there. Muah hah hah! I love ubuntu.
[08:41] <dwandke> Hi Everyone
[08:41] <mpoz2> How can I get GNOME's file selection dialog _not_ to focus the location bar initially but the file list?
[08:42] <mnoir> paulinster: nm - i just tried - it didn't work
[08:42] <paulinster> mnoir: what do you mean ... somehting like this ssh servername 'exit 11'; 'echo $?'
[08:42] <mnoir> paulinster: this requires hacking - it is not pretty
[08:42] <mnoir> no - i meant like ssh mewssys 'exit 11;echo $?'
[08:43] <mnoir> but it didn't work
[08:43] <stoone> [dot] Al: admin -> networking -> select interface -> properties
[08:43] <dwandke> I`ve a big Problem ... but before i start let me tell, that i'm a totaly Noob in Linux.So i have a fresh installation of Ubuntu. First of all i uses Ubuntuguide.org for some help ... second i added new reps... and then i want to install vmware-player ...

[08:46] <Blackhold> how can I reactivate ybin?
[08:46] <Blackhold> I've got it configured
[08:46] <madcheez1> gotta roll later all
[08:46] <Blackhold> but I reinstalled mac os x and lost the ybin in MBR
[08:46] <juano> anyone know why there is only a specific folder in my NTFS partition which i cannot view?
[08:47] <Flannel> factorx_: you need to ... um, you'll make partitions on each drive, you'll also want to make a small (couple hundred meg) partition for /boot (since it's ugly having boot on LVM), then once you have the two LVM partitions marked, and the boot one, go up to the top and configure LVM
[08:47] <Enselic`> My sound sounds distorted, but has worked without distortion before. What could cause this?
[08:47] <mnoir> paulinster: ssh seemed to pass back the remote cmd rtn code
[08:47] <dwandke> Flannel have u an ideal for my problem or someone else??? URL for error is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1206/
[08:47] <mnoir> paulinster: is this not what you wanted?
[08:48] <Flannel> factorx_: then you'll configure volume groups, put them both in the same VG, then you can put LVs (equivalnt to partitions) ontop of that LG
[08:48] <paulinster> mnoir: yeah that is what I want .. but in my case this is not the value that I get return ..
[08:48] <stoone> Enselic`: play with various volume settings
[08:48] <daedra> oh fazzocks can anyone manage to install cmus via apt-get?!
