[04:22] <Jmod> hello I'm have trouble gaining access to my ntfs hard drive it says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hda1".
[04:22] <flammifer> Healot, , hmm, sounds better then vi, thanks :)
[04:22] <Phreakys> hello
[04:22] <mikeubu> anyone have steps to solve mplayer playing sound but not video for cnn website?
[04:23] <Phreakys> i just installed kubuntu 6.06 alternate on my laptop, but after installing the desktop won't load
[04:23] <Healot> flammifer, are you even reading me?
[04:23] <Healot> nvm
[04:23] <flammifer> sudo doesn't work
[04:23] <Phreakys> anyone an idea how to fix it?
[04:23] <flammifer> Healot, yes, sudo is a good idea, but doesn't work because of hostname problems :P
[04:23] <Healot> gksudo f???
[04:24] <Healot> gksudo
[04:24] <Healot> dude gksudo!@
[04:24] <Kyja> hey I did a whereis c64 and it returned "c64:"
[04:24] <Kyja> is that kinda strange?
[04:24] <flammifer> (though I admit I haden't thought of it. I'm still in the old switch to root for any maintenance problem)
[04:24] <Warbo> Kyja: You have a very varied network
[04:25] <Jmod> please PM me if any one has any info?
[04:25] <Healot> !ntfs
[04:25] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[04:25] <flammifer> (sudo doesn't work because my machine's name isn't in /etc/hosts :P so i want to edit /etc/conf, unfortunately I'm finding that hard to do for the moment :P)
[04:26] <Jmod> !fuse
[04:26] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[04:26] <mikeubu> I did automatix on two computers, one has mplayer video and sound on cnn, one doesn't have video, just sound
[04:26] <vinson2> i'm new to ubuntu.... can someone tell me what i need to do to get kermit to show up in synaptic?
[04:27] <Healot> vinson: you need package "sesame-street"
[04:27] <vinson2> Healot: funny guy....
[04:27] <helmut> Hi. I've got two systems running the same hardware. One Ubuntu and one Debian. Debian was able to use the attached usb printer (Epson Stylus DX4800) just as is (i.e. http://localhost:631/ add printer and so on). With ubuntu this seems significantly more difficult. The ubuntu setup fails to accept any password via that webinterface. I later found out the the printer can also be added via the gnome interface which actually worked. Unfortunately it first prints
[04:28] <vinson2> Healot: in all seriousness, any idea what i need to do to get packages added to synaptic?
[04:28] <helmut> Anything using colour looks pretty ugly using ubuntu ...
[04:28] <Healot> !info kermit
[04:28] <ubotu> Package kermit does not exist in dapper
[04:28] <vinson2> :(
[04:28] <Healot> !find kermit
[04:28] <ubotu> Found: gkermit, ckermit
[04:28] <vinson2> ahh
[04:28] <Noom> does any one know of any 3D packages that works on Ubuntu
[04:29] <vinson2> Healot: neither of those show up in synaptc though
[04:29] <Healot> vinson2, i told you that you need sesame street for kermit, and I am not kidding
[04:29] <Mez> Noom: try blender
[04:29] <Healot> !info gkermit
[04:29] <ubotu> gkermit: A serial and network communications package. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-4 (dapper), package size 39 kB, installed size 116 kB
[04:29] <vinson2> component universe?
[04:29] <Healot> vinson2, enable the universe section of dapper repos, update the repos list
[04:29] <vinson2> remember i just started using ubuntu today
[04:30] <vinson2> :)
[04:30] <Healot> I will not
[04:30] <Noom> thanks mez, but is there any thing else like autocad, does autocad work on blender becuase i need it for uni
[04:30] <Noom> *on ubuntu
[04:30] <Healot> I treat everyone the same
[04:31] <a_dumb_fake_name> All, I have one of those annoying newbie questions
[04:31] <Noom> does autocad work on Ubuntu
[04:31] <erUSUL> Noom: no
[04:32] <Noom> isnt there a cross platform program that makes it work
[04:32] <epitaf> erUSUL : not even through wine?
[04:32] <vinson2> Healot: where do i enable that?
[04:32] <Healot> !repos
[04:32] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:32] <a_dumb_fake_name> what causes Firefox to give me a "can't load pages" error an average of every 20 minutes? It will work if I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet connection,
[04:32] <erUSUL> epitaf: never tried. i've seen in a site that someone made AC LT work in wine
[04:32] <Healot> !universe
[04:32] <_n2o_> Hi! I've just installed Ubuntu distro at home! It's the best distro i ever use!
[04:32] <a_dumb_fake_name> which is wired by the way
[04:33] <vivir> to Trenton, is this you in China ?
[04:33] <epitaf> erUSUL : ok
[04:33] <Noom> Is there anyway of making Autocad Work on Ubuntu?
[04:33] <epitaf> So Noom you might want to check out Wine
[04:33] <Noom> ok, wine, do you have urls for that info
[04:33] <epitaf> Don't repeat youself Noom :)
[04:33] <Noom> sorry epitaf
[04:33] <epitaf> You can use the Package manger to get it
[04:34] <epitaf> No prob Noom :)
[04:34] <a_dumb_fake_name> I reviewed the forums and noticed there are lots of suggestions, all of which I'm frightened to run because I don't know what they do
[04:34] <Healot> noom: may work with WINE, btw... checkout WINE compatibility page
[04:35] <erUSUL> !wine > Noom
[04:35] <a_dumb_fake_name> What's up with Noom getting all the attention?
[04:35] <droogy> newbie here... is it possible to open programs under sudo permissions?
[04:35] <Noom> a_dumb_fake_name becuase Im Marks son
[04:36] <droogy> ie. I want to update azureus and it's internat updater doesn't work.
[04:36] <Healot> droogy, when you prefix the sudo command :)
[04:36] <Healot> and enter your password
[04:36] <erUSUL> a_dumb_fake_name: is only firefox or all net apps?
[04:36] <droogy> i'm in gnome though
[04:37] <a_dumb_fake_name> GAIM breaks too, and I can't ping anything when it happens.
[04:37] <abu> can anyone tell me how to u[grade my ubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 pls
[04:37] <abu> upgrade
[04:37] <a_dumb_fake_name> I just thought I'd check for known issues before replacing my hardware
[04:37] <BSG75> is there a way to install ubuntu without using the gui?
[04:37] <Healot> !upgrade
[04:37] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[04:37] <Healot> BSG75, use the alternate install CD?
[04:37] <wikijeff> droogy: go to a terminal and type 'sudo <program-name>'
[04:37] <a_dumb_fake_name> but why can I "fix" it by deactivating and reactivating -- every time?
[04:37] <DanaG> Oh, current versions of AutoCAD use SafeDisc, I believe
[04:38] <sharperguy> !alternate
[04:38] <Noom> A good question: I have version "The Hoary Hedgehog" of Ubuntu, If I install that on my PC does it automatically get updated to the Dapper Drake
[04:38] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[04:38] <BSG75> I haven't tried that yet .. thank you Healot... I have an old laptop .. it's dieing trying to install via gui
[04:38] <DanaG> cdac<4-digit-number-I-can't-remember>
[04:38] <Healot> btw
[04:38] <Healot> for minimalist setup, download and isntall using the server CD
[04:38] <oblib> If I compile my own kernel and install it as a .deb package, will apt update it when appropriate, or will I have to manually upgrade my kernel from then on?
[04:39] <Healot> or use Xubuntu instead
[04:39] <Healot> left, blah blah
[04:39] <Blissex> oblib: manually, but there is a command to make a kernel package.
[04:39] <Ranbee> can someone tell me the name of the 'gnome config tool' - the program which can put the trash on the desktop.
[04:39] <oblib> Blissex: what's the difference? what's a kernel package
[04:39] <Healot> iether wiht module-assistant or isntall make-kpkg package
[04:40] <sharperguy> there is also a kernal autocompiler somewhere
[04:40] <jrib> Ranbee: gconf-editor
[04:40] <Blissex> !kpkg
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kpkg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <Blissex> !kernel package
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel package - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <jrib> !trash > Ranbee
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <wikijeff> What's the best way to get system information such as processor speed and RAM/HD size?
[04:40] <Ranbee> jrib, thanks
[04:40] <jrib> Blissex: /msg buotu kernel
[04:40] <Blissex> !kernel
[04:40] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:40] <Blissex> oblib:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:41] <oblib> Blissex: thanks
[04:41] <keithg> I'm only two years older than Linux... wow.
[04:41] <jrib> wikijeff: lshw is pretty good
[04:41] <jrib> wikijeff: you can do stuff like 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' as well
[04:41] <wikijeff> jrib: do I have to run it as root?
[04:42] <jrib> wikijeff: it gives you more info if you do
[04:42] <wikijeff> ok, thanks
[04:43] <Noom> if i install my ubuntu version of  "The Hoary Hedgehog" does it automatically get updated to the Dapper Drake version
[04:43] <snoops> Blissex thanks for the help before.. find / -type l gets me a list of symbolic links which is great.. one thing though, how can I find say all files which have symbolic links going to them?
[04:43] <jrib> wikijeff: the 'free -m' command is useful for ram, and free space on your partitions, 'df -h' is useful
[04:43] <Blissex> snoops: that is not so easy...
[04:44] <oblib> I have the entire kernel source -- is there an easy way of compiling just one module from that source to use with my current kernel?
[04:44] <a_dumb_fake_name> I'll be timing out of my Internet connection any minute now -- surely this question is a softball for you all...
[04:44] <DanaG> Why are gnome's xscreensaver options so sucky?
[04:44] <jrib> snoops: you could do 'readlink -f' on every symbolic link you find :)
[04:44] <DanaG> What's yer ethernet?
[04:44] <snoops> oh really jrib? that's pretty easy
[04:44] <wikijeff> jrib, on the system monitor do you know what the difference between memory in use by programs and memory in use by cache is?
[04:44] <snoops> so I could pipe it almost?
[04:45] <a_dumb_fake_name> I don't know what you're asking
[04:45] <a_dumb_fake_name> danag
[04:45] <DanaG> Were you saying you had internet issues?
[04:45] <jrib> wikijeff: I think cache means it's using your swap on your hard drive and just memory means RAM.  I'm not 100% sure about this though
[04:45] <aaronc> how can I get the ipv6 mod to stop loading?  I tried some help I saw in the forums that said to append an 'off' in some file in modprode.d, but its still loading
[04:45] <a_dumb_fake_name> i'm poking around in device manager
[04:46] <keithhhh> General question...why in linux is it hard to install programs?  If its not in the repositories?
[04:46] <CokeNCode> ok, the problem is that for some strange reason, my stupid windows machine won't telnet out to port 25
[04:46] <a_dumb_fake_name> Would 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]  mean anything DanaG
[04:46] <CokeNCode> it works fine from another windows machine on the network
[04:46] <wikijeff> jrib, yeah that doesn't quite make sense since cache + memory = my total RAM and there's a separate thing for swap
[04:46] <CokeNCode> so, my smtp server is working fine
[04:46] <jrib> snoops: yep, or just use -exec with find and then you probably want to pipe to uniq to get rid of multiple instances of files
[04:46] <CokeNCode> this is highly unusual, and annoying
[04:46] <krazykit> aaronc: you could add the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:47] <cjuner> Hi there... Anyone knows a good place to ask about the usage of autoconf? I use autoconf to generate a configure script. On my system (and likely on others) the AC_PROG_CC macro checks for the object file suffix. This is not mentioned in the GNU Autoconf Manual. Does it define a variable for that suffix? How to access that?
[04:47] <aaronc> krazykit: ok, I'll try that
[04:47] <keithhhh> General question...why in linux is it hard to install programs?  If its not in the repositories?
[04:47] <Noom> if i install my ubuntu version of  "The Hoary Hedgehog" does it automatically get updated to the Dapper Drake version
[04:47] <DanaG> Yeah, if it's an Intel NIC, it's probably not a driver issue.
[04:47] <Healot> keithhhh, it is way easy, ebcause tehre is only on place to download?
[04:48] <krazykit> Noom: it'd really be better to just install dapper.  hoary is way old, and you might have some problems updating.
[04:48] <jrib> wikijeff: run 'man top' that should explain what they mean
[04:48] <fdoving> keithhhh: because there is a lack of standard ways to package software.
[04:48] <DanaG> I know I have had issues with my ISP deciding to be sucky.
[04:48] <Healot> no google, just a simple repos setup and download?
[04:48] <skarface> Noom: not "automatically", but you can use dist-upgrade to get there. it would be better to isntall from a dapper cd, though.
[04:48] <Jean> jemand aus dem deutschen raum anwesend?
[04:48] <Noom> ok, thanks krazyit
[04:48] <jrib> !de
[04:48] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[04:48] <a_dumb_fake_name> I know I should start experimenting with different modems to rule that out (my modem is ancient). .. maybe I'll do an experiment @ my friends house and circle back
[04:48] <droogy> does /msg work?
[04:48] <DanaG> Oh, dialup?
[04:49] <droogy> or do yall have it blocked...
[04:49] <a_dumb_fake_name> no, no, DSL
[04:49] <keithhhh> fdoving: so why do you think it hasnt been standardized yet??
[04:49] <a_dumb_fake_name> I noticed that my powerbook (which I had to return to my former employer) suddenly wouldn't connect via Airport
[04:49] <DanaG> What about those filters?  I have cable, so I don't have to deal with those.
[04:49] <droogy> wikijeff-> hrm... that's a little annoying though... if a program trys to update itself. I have to cancel, exit the program and sudo it using the terminal..
[04:50] <fsancho> hi all
[04:50] <a_dumb_fake_name> and so then when I fired up the laptop @ the bottom of my closet w/ this new Ubuntu thing, I couldn't even connect from a wired connection
[04:50] <fdoving> keithhhh: because there are alot of good ways, and everyone want to keep their own way. and we are all stubborn bastards.
[04:50] <wikijeff> droogy, are you sure these things need to be run as root?
[04:50] <fsancho> i have a strange problem in my thinkpad 600x
[04:50] <jenda> OK, does anyone have trouble burning CDs? It seems to be a kernel-related epidemy. Neither of my computers can burn now.
[04:50] <fsancho> the sound card seems to work
[04:50] <a_dumb_fake_name> so testing the modem seems like the logical next step
[04:50] <Jean> i need help...can somebody help about ubuntu?
[04:50] <fsancho> but only oss emulation works
[04:50] <skarface> jenda: I'm burning fine
[04:50] <keithhhh> fdoving: ya that is what I thought bastards
[04:51] <fsancho> alsa native apps doesn't sound
[04:51] <droogy> wikijeff, it's azureus, so it's just copying jar files to the appropriate directory.
[04:51] <DanaG> easy steps to try:  test a different OS, test modem without router, then last of all test the modem.
[04:51] <fsancho> my soundcard is 0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]  (rev 01)
[04:51] <fsancho> and i'm using snd-cs46xx
[04:51] <fsancho> with kernel 2.6.15-23-686
[04:51] <wikijeff> droogy, well that's a pretty popular program, I'd think that you would be able to find information on updating it online
[04:51] <DanaG> Until I updated the firmware on my Netgear RP614v2, I'd get an INSTANT drop whenever two people were using the MSN messenger / hotmail protocol.
[04:51] <fsancho> sorry, 2.6.15-26-686
[04:52] <a_dumb_fake_name> I wish I could test a different OS -- but I'm trying to use opensource software due to financial necessity.  loving the concept of ubuntu, but when thei'
[04:52] <jenda> skarface: using what?
[04:52] <skarface> jenda: gnomebaker
[04:52] <jenda> damn
[04:52] <a_dumb_fake_name> I meant there's a problem, It's like I am in a foreign land
[04:52] <jenda> kernel version?
[04:52] <skarface> whatever the latest ubuntu runs
[04:53] <a_dumb_fake_name> I think that firmware idea may be worth investigating.
[04:53] <ardchoille> Back in a bit.. going to see if this new Ubuntu system does what I think it will do :)
[04:53] <linux_user400354> how can i get bouncing cow screen saver?
[04:53] <a_dumb_fake_name> I got kind of intrigued by the # of posts to the support forums on the same topic.
[04:53] <neutrinomass> a_dumb_fake_name: Are you trying to get a dsl modem to work? Is it USB ?
[04:53] <sioux> hi people...  but ubuntu needs defragmentation files?  I boot it up just now and I got a message that force a fcsk check due to a partiotn is been mounted more than 30 times and the results was 3% of files non contigus. What that means?
[04:53] <skarface> jenda: 2.16.15-26-386
[04:53] <Healot> linux_user400354, buy a copy, hoho
[04:53] <neutrinomass> sioux: It's the equivalent of scandisk
[04:53] <jenda> skarface: OK
[04:53] <a_dumb_fake_name> It works, no it's not USB, but it keeps dropping me.
[04:54] <a_dumb_fake_name> I can't decide if it's a Firefox/Ubuntu thing or a hardware (or now, firmware) thing.
[04:54] <flaca> ls
[04:54] <sioux> neutri but as I know linux do not needs scandisk or defragmentation isen't it?
[04:54] <flaca> dir
[04:54] <flaca> cd ..
[04:54] <jenda> What is the error when gnomebaker hangs on "Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... " and then fails after some time?
[04:54] <neutrinomass> sioux: Agreed it can be scary :-) There's an open bug about it, that it scares users away.
[04:54] <flaca> cd ..
[04:54] <a_dumb_fake_name> PCI is an alternative to USB right?
[04:54] <a_dumb_fake_name> I feel so ignorant...
[04:55] <stray_77> rj45
[04:55] <linux_user400354> Healot: thats open source software. it doesnt cost money.
[04:55] <sioux> neutri with refeirs I have never sow that
[04:55] <neutrinomass> sioux: Normally no. Fragmentation is rarely an issue (maybe after several years) .... The "scandisk" (fsck - Filesystem Check) you saw was a "just in case" (you will see it again if you have a power failure or something )
[04:55] <DanaG> No, some cable or DSL modems connect over USB, but that's usually windows-only.
[04:55] <Healot> linux_user400354, you got the wrong definition of FREE, its libre not gratis :)
[04:55] <a_dumb_fake_name> thanks danag
[04:55] <neutrinomass> sioux: It's done every 30 boot ups "just in case"
[04:56] <Noom> Do applications running on wine, neccessarily run slower then they do on there specific platforms????
[04:56] <sioux> strange fs...  with suse never happened
[04:56] <neutrinomass> DanaG: Most of them work on linux as well
[04:57] <neutrinomass> sioux: I know. That's why it was suggested that it should be removed - other major distributions don't do it any more (it was common practice a few years ago though).
[04:57] <a_dumb_fake_name> The connection god must like IRC -- I am still connected
[04:57] <Healot> you prefer a worse connection?
[04:57] <sc0tty> hello
[04:57] <neutrinomass> a_dumb_fake_name: When it disconnects, what are the last lines of "dmesg" ?
[04:58] <neutrinomass> hello sc0tty :)
[04:58] <Luke> My USB doesnt work with this error flooding my dmesg: http://monoport.com/1026 anyone know how to fix this?
[04:58] <a_dumb_fake_name> hmmm. Is that some sort of firefox verbose system messaging that I can turn on, or am I supposed to find that information someplace else?
[04:58] <ych> burp
[04:59] <Dattasmoon> is there a way to use bind (9) to block websites?
[04:59] <a_dumb_fake_name> whoops, looks like I horned in on someone else's support question
[04:59] <sc0tty> I was wondering, with one of my RAM sticks I get an error while installing Ubuntu 6.06 , bash: /dev/null Permission Denied
[04:59] <frogzoo> Dattasmoon: that's got to be the wrong approach
[04:59] <sc0tty> after doing all the checks [ok]  (starting X and such )
[05:00] <neutrinomass> a_dumb_fake_name: It's a kernel information reporting tool. It shows all sorts of useful stuff if something goes wrong ..
[05:00] <erUSUL> Dattasmoon: make it resolve the adresses to localhost or a nonexistan/invalid ip
[05:00] <neutrinomass> sc0tty: Have you tried a memory test ?
[05:00] <Dattasmoon> frogzoo, why? that seems to be perfect
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodmorning All, I am having a problem getting AcidRip to take Non-encrypted DVD of home movies and create mpg's from them.  It does avi fine but mpg show 16 seconds of blank screen and will not play
[05:00] <sc0tty> yes, the stick is all new
[05:00] <frogzoo> Dattasmoon: why not firewall them through iptables? or run an apache/squid proxy?
[05:00] <igcek> 6.06, can it be installed without going into liive mode?
[05:00] <neutrinomass> sc0tty: I don't doubt that - but have you run memtest86+ ? Let it run for 1-2 hours ... the stick could be faulty
[05:01] <sc0tty> how long should the memtest take to have a trustable answer ?
[05:01] <lens> my WINE is having some problems... I used to automatically find it by "cd ~/.wine" but it's not there anymore, I am sure it is installed, but no clue as to where my WINE is?
[05:01] <neutrinomass> igcek: Yes, see the "install" (former "alternate") CD ...
[05:01] <erUSUL> Luke: this is a kernel error/bug report it bug.ubuntu.com. Solution? try another kernel
[05:01] <Dattasmoon> frogzoo: i have not had any luck with the iptables filtering or the squid program
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> igcek: If it wont run as lve then it is doubtful it will run without a tweek
[05:02] <igcek> i would like just to install it, than make a server with it...
[05:03] <igcek> acess it only thru ssh
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> igcek: use install aka alternate cd
[05:03] <Scorpmoon> is using ubuntu as a server a sane choice?
[05:03] <erUSUL> igcek: use the server cd
[05:04] <igcek> i cant just turn off live mode on cd...
[05:04] <tanath> whenever i log in an error pops up saying Unable to start gnome settings daemon, and this: " IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred"
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Scorpmoon: It really is stable...
[05:04] <teicah> how can i make gthumb the default image viewer instead of eog?
[05:04] <DanaG> Oh, for internet issues (not OS-specific), one good site is broadbandreports.com
[05:05] <keithhhh> what is the best video editing software for Ubuntu??
[05:05] <neutrinomass> erUSUL: The server CD ? Why not the "install" cd with the old installer ?
[05:05] <Scorpmoon> but how does ubunutu server differ from desktop? does it still install with GUI, and use gnome?
[05:05] <tanath> teicah: in nautilus you can right click a file, and go to properties, choose the open with tab
[05:05] <neutrinomass> !best
[05:05] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodmorning All, I am having a problem getting AcidRip to take Non-encrypted DVD of home movies and create mpg's from them.  It does avi fine but mpg show 16 seconds of blank screen and will not play

[05:06] <Caglix> ciao everybody
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> tyler_d:   How do you spell conspiracy?
[05:07] <erUSUL> neutrinomass: igcek said that it wanted to install a headless server. i think that the server install cd is more apropiate for that
[05:07] <tyler_d>  Jack_Sparrow: Windows
[05:08] <neutrinomass> erUSUL: Ahh ok, I didn't catch that part of the question ...
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> I thought there were only two cd's the Live 6.06 and the Alt/Server version...
[05:09] <tyler_d>  Jack_Sparrow: do you know where they went?, cause I have programs running that I cannot see or get to restore..?

[05:20] <keithhhh> if I have a memory card slot in my notebook would anyone know where it would show the files if a card is in the slot???

[05:22] <fsancho> hi all
[05:22] <fsancho> i have a strange problem in my thinkpad 600x
[05:22] <fsancho> the sound card seems to work
[05:22] <wheels3572> ty tanath
[05:22] <fsancho> but only oss emulation works
[05:22] <fsancho> alsa native apps doesn't sound
[05:22] <keithhhh> Jack_Sparrow: so do you know where it would be located?
[05:22] <tanath> wheels3572: np
[05:22] <fsancho> my soundcard is 0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]  (rev 01)
[05:22] <sioux> Hi who help me to fix this java error that I get when I run a jvm applet? : com.zerog.lax.LAX
[05:22] <fsancho> and i'm using snd-cs46xx
[05:22] <fsancho> with kernel 2.6.15-26-686
[05:22] <wheels3572> tanath, now when I open any pdf that I downlaod it will use the program I just selected?
[05:23] <Blissex> sioux: ##Java I think mught be better.
[05:23] <viator> !qemu
[05:23] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[05:23] <tanath> fsancho: i believe ubuntu uses esd...
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> keithhhh: PCMCIA correct? Do you know the format on the flashcard? fat(32,16,8) or other?
[05:23] <tanath> wheels3572: it should
[05:23] <keithhhh> no just a slot in my computer
[05:23] <teicah> how can i make gthumb the default image viewer instead of eog?
[05:23] <wheels3572> tanath, ok ty
[05:23] <keithhhh> Jack_Sparrow: No just a card reader in my notebook
[05:24] <sioux> blissex seems ##java doesn't exist as irc
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> keithhhh:  It show up on your desktop as usbdrive
[05:24] <fsancho> tanath, this is not the problem. without esd loaded, in a console, to ear a soundfile, "aplay" doesn't work but "play" works ok
[05:24] <Scorpmoon> is ubuntu server the same download as ubuntu desktop?
[05:24] <erUSUL> Scorpmoon: no
[05:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Scorpmoon: no
[05:25] <tanath> fsancho: aplay uses alsa
[05:25] <tanath> fsancho: if you're using esd it wouldn't work
[05:25] <fsancho> yes, and it doesn't sounds, but play uses oss and works ok.
[05:25] <Scorpmoon> honestly, is ubuntu server better than opensuse? :)
[05:25] <fsancho> tanath, esound isn't loaded
[05:25] <keithhhh> Jack_Sparrow: hmmm no luck  :(
[05:25] <tanath> fsancho: esd is good 'cause it lets multiple apps use the soundcard
[05:26] <fsancho> tanath, i know it
[05:26] <sharperguy> Who knows is shipit will still offer dapper cd's after Edgy comes out, in case they requre LTS
[05:26] <Scorpmoon> i take that as a no

[05:28] <fsancho> tanath, yes, for the tests
[05:28] <tanath> what tests?
[05:28] <keithhhh> Jack_Sparrow: where is the disk mounter script??
[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> one sec
[05:28] <tanath> fsancho: why don't you configure it to work with esd?
[05:29] <fsancho> tanath, this is not the problem
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[05:29] <tanath> what is the problem then?
[05:29] <linux__alien> is gnome better or KDE ?
[05:29] <sharperguy> !gnomevskde
[05:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomevskde - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:29] <tanath> linux__alien: they each have their points...
[05:29] <teicah> gnome
[05:29] <fsancho> my alsa driver doesn't work in native mode only the oss emulation seems to work
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !best
[05:29] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:30] <grogoreo> hi
[05:30] <sharperguy> Questions like gnome vs kde dont really work, just try them both and seee which suits you  best
[05:30] <tyler_d> panel not showing correct applications running?
[05:30] <tanath> linux__alien: try both. you can have both installed at the same time if you want
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Or install both and switch between
[05:31] <petriborg> anyone know a way to verify ubuntu package integrity after they have been installed?
[05:31] <linux__alien> tanath, is it possible to develop C++ programs using gtk from KDE ?
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> or pick your desktop and install any apps from the other desktop at the click of a button.
[05:31] <linux__alien> Gnome is really better for this
[05:31] <tanath> linux__alien: of course
[05:31] <grogoreo> I've followed this HOWTO on setting up Postfix+Courier IMAP etc (http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/) but I can't seem to create folders in IMAP. If I were to manually do it where would I put them? In the virtual directories there are the folders: cur new tmp but when I make a directory here it doesn't show up on Squirrel Mail
[05:31] <NemesisUK> hi, why would I start getting version magic errors while inserting a kernel module (fglrx). has never happened before
[05:31] <mcphail> linux__alien: yes, of course
[05:31] <frogzoo> linux__alien: gnome is the default gdm if that's any help
[05:31] <tanath> linux__alien: you can run gnome apps in kde and vice versa too...
[05:31] <fuoco> is there an app yet in linux that can do voip with google talk ?
[05:32] <linux__alien> yes but GTK apps go well with Gnome and loads faster right?
[05:32] <tanath> fuoco: i know gaim is working on it...
[05:32] <mcphail> petriborg: no, you cannot reliably validate installed files. The only way to do this is to prepare a checksum immediately after installation
[05:32] <tanath> fuoco: will be available in edgy i believe
[05:32] <fuoco> tanath: anything that already works ? like telepathy stuff etc... ?
[05:33] <teicah> hahaha
[05:33] <tanath> fuoco: not that i know of, but haven't really checked...
[05:33] <mcphail> petriborg: chkrootkit and rootkithunter can identify some suspicious files
[05:33] <linux__alien> i had requested for Ububtu CDs on 2006-07-25 but i am not sure which CDS i would get
[05:33] <linux__alien> will i get Dapper Drake?
[05:34] <sharperguy> you should do
[05:34] <petriborg> mcphail: and ubuntu never bothered to setup checksups for something like that? i was hopping they had cause deb uses debsums to do it :(
[05:34] <sharperguy> 07 is well after dapper relase, but well before edgy
[05:34] <linux__alien> but today i see a line in the web site saying We are currently accepting requests for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) CDs.
[05:34] <linux__alien> what does LTS mean
[05:34] <Dattasmoon> how can i set up squid to be a transparent server? if i change just the port it listens to, to 80 will that do it?
[05:34] <mcphail> petriborg: not that i am aware
[05:35] <geser> linux__alien: Long-Time Support
[05:35] <tanath> fuoco: maybe this? http://tapioca-voip.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Tapioca
[05:35] <petriborg> mcphail: i'm trying to validate the programs because i had some HD corruption issues last week and i fixed them and reinstalled the coreutil package to fix some of the basics like df that got broken, but most of the rest of the system *seems* to be fine but it would be nice if i could verify and/or reinstall part of the base system :/
[05:36] <linux__alien> whats the default audio player in ubuntu
[05:37] <mcphail> petriborg: you can "aptitude reinstall" packages
[05:37] <mrkinder> I'm trying to get the ati accelerator drivers/libraries/whatever as I've just installed ubuntu, anyone got any ideas where I can find them
[05:37] <mrkinder> I'm on a radeon 9250 for what its worth

[05:37] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:37] <scott_> Would someone like to help me out with a sound problem? i think i am just missing a group and need help to find out the default groups i need
[05:38] <mrkinder> I've tried that link before ubotu, its way more confusing than the link I was given the first time I did this
[05:38] <tanath> mrkinder: ubotu is a bot. it was responding to me
[05:38] <KenSentMe> mrkinder: ubotu is a bot
[05:38] <mrkinder> Well, now you've got an idea of how new I am :)
[05:38] <cool_nick> how do i change the default ttl to a different value?

[05:39] <petriborg> mcphail: thanks i will check it out
[05:39] <scott_> could someone just run "groups" for their main user and tell me what they have??
[05:39] <W9ZEB-Lars> is there a how-to for making imbedded wmv videos play in firefox on dapper?
[05:39] <linux_user400354> has anyone got gmailfs to work?
[05:39] <DanaG> dana adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[05:40] <DanaG> "dana" is my user name.
[05:40] <tengil> can i change color on the actual windows somehow. i dont mean changin theme. that doesnt seem to change colors of the firefox window and such. just the top bar basically
[05:40] <tanath> mrkinder: open a terminal, and do this: glxinfo | grep direct
[05:40] <jrib> tengil: you can use firefox themes
[05:40] <scott_> DanaG thanks
[05:40] <DanaG> If you're setting up a user, you may also have to edit the sudoers file.
[05:40] <DanaG> !sudoers
[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:40] <tanath> mrkinder: you should see a line that says 'direct rendering: ' yes or no...
[05:41] <bruenig> !sudo
[05:41] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:41] <scott_> DanaG i screwed my groups up with a root command
[05:41] <tanath> mrkinder: should be yes. if so, you're good
[05:41] <jrib> DanaG, scott_: any user in the admin group should get sudo access
[05:41] <Papageno> I have an installation of Ubuntu that I want to make into Xubuntu. Simply installing xubuntu-desktop will not suffice: I want to remove any package that is not in a regular Xubuntu install and install any package that is. How do I do that? Is there a simple way to convert an Ubuntu installation to Xubuntu?
[05:41] <scott_> how are you suppose to add groups to your user name correctly?
[05:41] <jrib> scott_: addgroup
[05:41] <tengil> jrib: but i mean for everything. do i need a theme for each. like if i open gaim firefox, network-admin and everything
[05:41] <scott_> jrib as root right?
[05:42] <lamego> Papageno, you would need to list every package on ubuntu-desktop, remove it, and then install xubuntu
[05:42] <tanath> tengil: that would be themes
[05:42] <jrib> scott_: yeah
[05:42] <Papageno> lamego: How would I go about doing that?
[05:42] <DanaG> When I try to get the Sonar screensaver to ping, it gives me: sonar: unable to determine local subnet address: "m685"   resolves to loopback address <IP_ADDRESS>.
[05:42] <tengil> tanath: i changed between all the themes that comes with ubuntu with gnome. nothing changing colors of all those windows. just the top bars and such
[05:42] <jrib> tengil: some programs use the gtk theme, others like firefox use their own stuff
[05:43] <tanath> tengil: in System > prefs > theme?
[05:43] <tanath> tengil: WFM...
[05:43] <tengil> im lying
[05:43] <cool_nick> can anybody help me to change the default ttl to a different value?
[05:43] <tengil> i must have been drunk or something when i tried that
[05:43] <tengil> it does change colors

[05:43] <tyler_d> Wisbar Lite? comments?
[05:43] <tengil> tanath: any good place to get more themes?

[05:44] <tanath> tengil: custom is there
[05:45] <Papageno> lamego: will that single command automate the WHOLE process? Should I exit Gnome to do it and do it from the shell?
[05:45] <Luke> is there a way to get deb packages of kernels packaged for ubuntu edgy?
[05:45] <lamego> Papageno, yes, its a single command to automate it, yes you should do it on a text console, CTRL-ALT-F1
[05:46] <tanath> Papageno: that would automate removing them
[05:46] <kads> hi there my synaptic failed
[05:46] <lamego> Papageno, also please note that you need a trailing space on the line
[05:46] <lamego> "apt-get remove "

[05:47] <tyler_d> Jmod: sudo nautilus
[05:47] <tengil> tanath: yeah i noticed i can pick from different themes
[05:47] <tengil> but not specify my own
[05:47] <lamego> kads, please look for the fix on the forum, its a compiz related problem (during an update)

[05:51] <Volvo> how to change between opened channel Tabs, while using IRSSI
[05:51] <abo> lamego, I'm checking it out
[05:51] <erUSUL> Volvo: Alt + n
[05:51] <mcphail> Volvo: "alt + number"
[05:51] <tyler_d> Jmod: did that work?
[05:51] <scott_> Volvo you can hit esc and the number as well
[05:51] <FurryNemesis> Scott_ really?
[05:51] <Volvo> ok thanks but i cann't see your nick its in yellow color, how to change that as well

[05:53] <scott_> FurryNemesis it was on slashdot, digg, and redigg
[05:53] <hype> any chances to have FEAR combat running on Ubuntu?

[05:54] <tyler_d> tanath: gaim shows up in its own little box, and Amsn isn't showing up anywhere
[05:54] <tyler_d> tanath: but is running
[05:54] <tanath> tyler_d: i've had that prob with amsn, but not gaim
[05:54] <linux_user400354> willys_fueguino: you have to have rar installed
[05:54] <tanath> tyler_d: that's what amsn did sometimes. the tray icon was floating basically
[05:54] <tyler_d> tanath: yes
[05:54] <tyler_d> tanath: how do I view running apps to close them?
[05:55] <lamego> Jmod, if you add the gid option, you dont need a shortcut, the ntfs partition will be mounted will access for your user

[05:55] <lamego> without any special command
[05:55] <B_166-ER-X> is there a way to 'downgrade' the gnome-screensaver to the version there wasin Breezy ?   the dapper version is  VERY dumbed down..
[05:55] <tanath> tyler_d: or in terminal it's the ps command, like: ps -ef
[05:55] <it1957> mepis, kubuntu live cd work, ubnuntu live locks up on mounting root file system?
[05:55] <zyklon-b> slm
[05:55] <scott_> tyler_d run ps aux | grep <the app you want to find>    or   top
[05:55] <lamego> B_166-ER-X, no
[05:55] <B_166-ER-X> ..
[05:55] <tyler_d> scott_: installing gps
[05:55] <willys_fueguino> linux_user400354: its not possible having installed just mc??
[05:56] <tanath> tyler_d: Applications > Accessories > gps
[05:56] <B_166-ER-X> I dont know who had the 'bright' idea to 'stupid simplify' the gnome-screensaver, but all the useful options are gone, and its frustrating.
[05:56] <linux_user400354> willys_fueguino: probably not
[05:56] <scott_> tyler_d i just got gpsbabel up and going
[05:56] <DanaG> How do I get my system to add itself to /etc/hosts?
[05:56] <Jmod> Thanks: lamego I'll do that
[05:57] <willys_fueguino> linux_user400354: I'll try after installing rar and I'll let you know
[05:57] <erUSUL> B_166-ER-X: you can install xscreensaver
[05:57] <unkn0wn2u> DanaG, its already there your localhost
[05:57] <lamego> DanaG, hum ? you just need to have <IP_ADDRESS> in there, matching your hostname
[05:57] <tyler_d> scott_: how do I kill the programs in terminal?
[05:57] <willys_fueguino> linux_user400354: I already have it installed
[05:57] <willys_fueguino> :-S
[05:58] <scott_> tyler_d if your focused on it... ctrl-c
[05:58] <Luke> erUSUL: I dont want to compile a kernel I just want a deb package of a later version that has been packaged for Ubuntu
[05:58] <scott_> tyler_d if you know its pid,  kill <pid>
[05:58] <JDahl> after I loaded the correct module for my wireless card (assuming it's the right one), how do I setup wlan?  Networking only shows eth0
[05:58] <tyler_d> scott_: not showing up anywhere, thats why I want it dead
[05:58] <lamego> Luke, for which software ?
[05:58] <tyler_d> scott_: pid?
[05:58] <willys_fueguino> how can I extract a multipart rar archive with mc?? whtas the command???
[05:58] <scott_> process id
[05:58] <Luke> lamego: for ubuntu
[05:58] <lamego> Luke, i mean, which software package do you want ?
[05:58] <tyler_d> scott_: got that... how would I find that out using gps?
[05:58] <scott_> tyler_d is it holding up your terminal?
[05:58] <tanath> tyler_d: ps tells you the process id, then you can kill it with kill <pid>
[05:58] <willys_fueguino> *what's
[05:59] <dwlfi> I'm new to ubuntu i just installed it...i have only one resolution by default i guess, and i need to install my video driver i guess
[05:59] <Luke> lamego: k7 kernel image
[05:59] <tanath> tyler_d: but gps can do it too
[05:59] <dwlfi> how do i do that?
[05:59] <lamego> luke, and why do you need a more recent version ?
[05:59] <knoppix> hi all have problem with rar archives. when i try to unrar the archiv it tells me "invalid password" and the archiv doesnt have any password
[05:59] <Luke> lamego: there are bugs in the -26 stable
[05:59] <tyler_d> tanath: but how do I know which one is amsn
[05:59] <humean> Hi, i just installed 6.06, and emacs, and python-mode, but when I emacs a .py file it does not have syntax highlighting, even though emacs appears to be in Python mode.
[05:59] <tanath> tyler_d: but you need to run sudo gps to kill apps not owned by you
[05:59] <lamego> Luke, ok, i am using k7, it runs fine for me
[05:59] <lamego> anyway you can use the 686 or 386, you will not fill the difference
[06:00] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: I'm trying to extract a multi-part rar archive with mc but How do I do it?
[06:00] <lamego> feel
[06:00] <Luke> lamego: you probably dont have the same hardware as me
[06:00] <it1957> why does kubuntu and mepis live cd boot and ubuntu not?  lock up on mounting root file system.
[06:00] <dwlfi> does anyone know how to install drivers in ubuntu?
[06:00] <Luke> dwlfi: what kind of drivers?
[06:00] <lamego> Luke, sure, buy you are unlikely to find a newer kernel version for dapper
[06:00] <knoppix> just open one of them and press extract
[06:00] <scott_> FurryNemesis did you check the site out?
[06:00] <tyler_d> tanath: one user
[06:00] <gawain3> New to Ubuntu. Cant play DVDs...Dont have enough permissions, or the drive is empty. Drive aint empty, so how do I get permissions>
[06:00] <tanath> tyler_d: it's actually displayed as wish
[06:01] <abhinay> i have cgwd themer ,& imported some themes,  how to install them (or how to set themes) ?
[06:01] <Luke> lamego: edgy has later kernel versions
just open one of them and press extract
[06:01] <tanath> tyler_d: cause that's the command used. click File > display long proc names
[06:01] <lamego> Luke, sure, and its highly unstable
[06:01] <tyler_d> tanath: amsn is displayed as wish?
[06:01] <lamego> major version upgrades go into edgy
[06:01] <tanath> tyler_d: you'll see it's actually 'wish /usr/bin/amsn'
[06:01] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: but the problem is; Where is extract? :-S
[06:01] <Luke> lamego: i know, its better to be unstable than to not work at all
[06:01] <FurryNemesis> scott_, maybe later thanks, kind of busy here
[06:01] <tanath> tyler_d: because of the command used to run it
[06:02] <Luke> lamego: do you know how to get a deb package of the edgy kernel or not?
[06:02] <lamego> Luke, have you tried the 686 or 383 kernels ?
[06:02] <knoppix> what archiv prog do u use?
[06:02] <tyler_d> tanath: killed
[06:02] <Luke> lamego: no that is a good idea though
[06:02] <lamego> Luke, yes you can get it from the edgy repositories, ot for the alpha cd, but it is unlileky to work on dapper
[06:02] <lamego> because of the compiler and other distro tools which have changed for edgy
[06:02] <tanath> tyler_d: you could have right clicked on the floating tray icon and clicked close...
[06:02] <lukketto> lamego: 383 kernel? Is it a harley? ;)
[06:02] <J-_> whenever i leave my system on over night, it tends to hang the next day, which I restart the system and works like it did before. any suggestions?
[06:03] <Jmod> it there a way to grab all the text from a single user in this chat or do you have to cut from each line probably a dumb question.
[06:03] <lamego> Luke, http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:03] <tanath> tyler_d: or from the buddy list
[06:03] <tyler_d> tanath: and do you know why its floating like that... no not that one

[06:12] <willys_fueguino> thanks for your help
[06:12] <alek> lamego, yes
[06:12] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: are you sure??
[06:12] <lamego> alef0, you can use the command line sftp/scp commands, or you can use nautilus
[06:12] <knoppix> yep
[06:12] <HumanPrototype> hi all

[06:12] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> How can I get my Laptop to actually display a picture again after closing the lid, without using Suspend2?  I have it set to the default "blank screen" option, but this new laptop is a bitch and the screen won't come back on afterwards
[06:12] <knoppix> gave it to my freind and he unrar it just fine
[06:12] <HumanPrototype> if im just about to install 64bit ubuntu on an amd x2 machine is there anything i should know?
[06:12] <slacker_nl> lamego: nautilus supports sftp/scp?
[06:12] <tanath> tyler_d: usbview is jsut to see if ubuntu sees it
[06:12] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: You should try to do what you want using winrar trough wine
[06:13] <Liohs> ok i have screen installed
[06:13] <lamego> slacker_nl, it supports ssh
[06:13] <humean> droogy: put the line in a file whose name ends with .sh then you can click it and it will run
[06:13] <tanath> tyler_d: it lists deviced connected by usb
[06:13] <lamego> ftp over ssh
[06:13] <Liohs> but not sure how to use it
[06:13] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> Actually, preferably without using suspend2, i'd rather just have it sit idle.....
[06:13] <tyler_d> tanath: ok? so now what?
[06:13] <tanath> tyler_d: if so, one of the webcam apps ought to work
[06:13] <slacker_nl> lamego: chill, didn't know that
[06:13] <alek> lamego, second pc uses ubuntu server without xorg so it seems Ihave to use scp
[06:13] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: So that way you will be sure sure that tha file doesn't have a passwd
[06:13] <tanath> tyler_d: if not, then you'd have a different prob
[06:13] <lamego> slacker_nl, you have an "SSH" option on the connect to server ;)
[06:13] <slacker_nl> can't test it as well..
[06:13] <knoppix> willys_fueguino it doesnt happening with all the rar archives just a couple of them
[06:13] <Jmod> why is my screen so fuzzy it wasn't so fuzzy in windows?
[06:14] <lamego> alek, you only need xorg on the system you are connecting from
[06:14] <lamego> xorg/nautilus
[06:14] <joako> hi
[06:14] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: ouch!!!!
[06:14] <Jimbo> i just built a Gigabyte_DS3 + Core2 Duo E6600 and ubuntu doesn't seem to like it. it gets to "mounting root file system" then it craps out. i think it can't detect the drives or something. I'm using SataII. It appears to be a problem across all distros. which gives me the impression that it's the kernel. Note, everything works fine in windows.
[06:14] <knoppix> well never mind willys_fueguino
[06:14] <lamego> Jmod, have you properly configurex Xorg ?
[06:14] <willys_fueguino> knoppix: I have the same problem that you!!!
[06:14] <joako> someone can hibernate or suspend your laptop????
[06:14] <slacker_nl> lamego: ahh I see, well new thing learned

[06:23] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> nalioth: he never responds to me, been trying for  2 weeks :P
[06:23] <Liohs> ok
[06:23] <snoops> santa99 I've been using the ext2 driver to write to my ext3 drives on a windows box for a few months.. no problems
[06:23] <Tamale> ext3 is just ext2 with a bigger file support
[06:23] <Tamale> right?
[06:23] <Tamale> it's the same.
[06:23] <nalioth> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop: he's right over there >>>
[06:23] <Tamale> it works fine with ext3
[06:23] <Liohs> do i have to be loged in as that user?
[06:23] <knoppix> It was down load error when redownloaded the archive from the net it wasnt password protected any more
[06:23] <snoops> no.. ext3 has larger file support, as well as journalling
[06:23] <Tamale> that's right.
[06:23] <compilerwriter> well curses.
[06:24] <sharperguy> ncurses?
[06:24] <santa99> snoops, ok that was what i want to know thx
[06:24] <santa99> Tamale,  thanks anyway
[06:24] <jdahm> is there a problem with the US archive server?
[06:24] <Tamale> santa99: the important thing is that fs-driver works 100% with ext3
[06:24] <jdahm> because its not working for me
[06:24] <keithhhh> does anyone use open movie editor????
[06:24] <jimmygoon> is there NOT a problem with the US server?
[06:24] <Tamale> i know 'cause i use it every day
[06:24] <RudyValencia> Good morning. I'm trying to mount a Samba share under Ubuntu dapper and when I try to open a file the application it opens in crashes. I don't know why this is happening. "dmesg | tail" indicates "CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -13". I'm able to connect fine with smbclient, and everything else is good. Why won't it mount?
[06:24] <dwlfi> ok new question....does anyone know of a channel i can go to that will be able to help me install the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
[06:25] <santa99> Tamale, That was what I would like to know 100% is always good
[06:25] <jimmygoon> I have problems frequently with it, but I started an apt-get, it looked like it was going to fail, but then I came back and it was done :)
[06:25] <Liohs> will screen let me look at other users terminals?
[06:25] <lamego> RudyValencia, it seems to be a problem with the filesystem "driver"
[06:25] <jdahm> jimmygoon, hmm because its not working when I install some packages, I changed my sources.list but it still seems to use the US mirrors
[06:25] <lamego> RudyValencia, are you using smbfs or cifs ?
[06:25] <jdahm> is there some way to recache the sources.list?
[06:25] <RudyValencia> CIFS
[06:26] <erUSUL> RudyValencia: it seems a kernel error in the CIFS module... maybe an incompatibility between CIFS an windows
[06:26] <lamego> jdahm, did you sudo apt-get update ?
[06:26] <jimmygoon> I'll be back soon...
[06:26] <jdahm> lamego, nope :P
[06:26] <lamego> jdahm, you need it :)
[06:26] <RudyValencia> The server I am connecting to is also running Samba.

[06:44] <lamego> bclinch, because you need to understnad what is a tar

[06:45] <elkbuntu> ATTENTION FOLKS, PLEASE REGISTER AND / OR IDENTIFY TO SERVICES TO TALK HERE IN #ubuntu PLEASE SEE FOR INSTRUCTIONS  http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[06:45] <funkmaster> u probably need to set permission
[06:45] <lamego> rayston, what is the partition type on that hard drive ?
[06:45] <bruenig> bclinch, it depends on the package, tars are containers, you need to unpack it, then navigate to the new unpacked directory and depending on the package do certain things after that
[06:46] <rayston> lamego : it is an ext3
[06:46] <bclinch> i want to install flock, ./configure says no such file or directory make doesn't like it either none of it works, i have  build essential installed etc...

[06:47] <bruenig> bclinch, give me the url for the download, I will lok at it

[06:47] <bruenig> look*
[06:47] <lamego> rayston, do you have privileges to read the directory you are trying to open ?

[06:47] <rayston> lamego : I think so, I can browse into that directory and see the lost+found directory that automatically gets put there
[06:48] <bruenig> bclinch, alright downloading it now, kind of big
[06:48] <Lattyware> I have a TV card, (Tevion - Cheap brand) and I want to get it working, i installed kdetv via the package manager, but I don't get anything when I scan for channels.
[06:48] <lamego> rayston, you need to set the corret permissions, or change the files owner
[06:48] <funkmaster> rayston: chown -R user:group /mounted/driectory
[06:48] <bclinch> bruenig, large but worth it!
[06:48] <__mikem> nalioth, whats with the bans
[06:49] <Lattyware> I don't know if my card has been detected.
[06:49] <jamesstansell> bclinch: flock should be pre-compiled
[06:49] <nalioth> __mikem: why do you ALWAYS ask the same question? i've answered you more than once
[06:49] <bruenig> bclinch, yeah, there is no install
[06:49] <funkmaster> Lattyware: ok first u should be sure that the cable which goes to the tvcard really has tvinput, make sure, maybe conect to a tv just to check
[06:49] <bclinch> jamestansell, how shouldi install it?
[06:49] <__mikem> Because I am curious
[06:49] <insub>  Who loves cake?
[06:49] <__mikem> :)
[06:49] <rayston> the chmod trick funkmaster suggested worked actually
[06:49] <bruenig> bclinch, what directory is it saved in?
[06:49] <rayston> thanx
[06:49] <Lattyware> funkmaster: Allready done, it's definatly not that.
[06:50] <jamesstansell> bclinch: installation should be similar to non-integrated Firefox
[06:50] <bclinch> i downloaded and untarred to desktop
[06:50] <funkmaster> Lattyware: ok then next open synaptic
[06:50] <bruenig> bclinch, ok do this cd ~/Desktop/flock
[06:50] <bruenig> bclinch, then do ./flock
[06:50] <jamesstansell> bclinch: refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion - what you need to do will be similar
[06:50] <Lattyware> done
[06:50] <bclinch> bruenig, done

[06:51] <Miek> I'm having problems running most games, i get "Could not initialize SDL Video subsystem: No I/O port permissions." or similar. Can anyone help?
[06:51] <Lattyware> Done.
[06:51] <funkmaster> Lattyware: btw have u loaded the modules from the kernel
[06:51] <funkmaster> is it a pci card?
[06:51] <funkmaster> if yes do lspci in the command line and c if ur card appears
[06:51] <bruenig> bclinch, that will not install it but will run it, you need to write a script that will automate that and to stay consistent with the linux file hierarchy, i believe you need to move it to /opt, although that doesn't really matter for functionality
[06:51] <Lattyware> No, and yes a PCI card.
[06:52] <funkmaster> Lattyware: if it does not appear u have to load the right modules in the kernel
[06:52] <Lattyware> funkmaster: How do I do that/
[06:52] <funkmaster> so it didn't appear when u did lspci?
[06:53] <Lattyware> *?

[06:53] <bclinch> bruenig, when i cd to flock it says it is a directory
[06:54] <Lattyware> funkmaster: I get a command not found error
[06:54] <bruenig> bclinch, the executable is called flock and it is in the directory called flock
[06:54] <Lattyware> ah, lspci not ispci
[06:54] <Lattyware> :P
[06:54] <funkmaster> Lattyware:  erm that'S strange
[06:54] <funkmaster> try as root lspci
[06:55] <Alteus> hola
[06:55] <funkmaster> heh yes

[06:55] <Lattyware> I'm presuming that is it.
[06:55] <funkmaster> yep should be

[06:56] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> wheir iz ompaul
[06:56] <funkmaster> ok u could also install TVtime and xawtv these r good tv apps, which i also use
[06:56] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> TVtime is swinie
[06:56] <bruenig> bclinch, did you get all of that stuff worked out, the script and all?
[06:56] <bclinch> bruenig, i have flock open now, how simple is it to install?
[06:57] <funkmaster> Lattyware:  i just found a post on the forum concerning this card, u should read it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183977&highlight=install+tvcard
[06:57] <bruenig> bclinch, install is a bit of a misnomer, all that is needed is in that directory, you just run it
[06:57] <nox-Hand> Is there not a music-maker app for Linux (( free )) - I cant remember the good Windows apps, but like Ejay, just....better and less...newbieish?
[06:57] <funkmaster> Lattyware:  erm that'S strange
[06:57] <bclinch> bruenig, thanks alot, in the future, how do i know what to install and what to run?
[06:57] <funkmaster> Lattyware:  appearently there is a problem with this card
[06:57] <Lattyware> just my luch
[06:57] <Lattyware> *luck
[06:58] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> are zer any italianz heir?
[06:58] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> i would like to... talk wiz zem
[06:58] <bruenig> bclinch, in theory you should move the flock directory to /opt/ then write a script and put the script in /usr/local/bin that will run it, then you could create a launcher on the desktop or menu if you wanted it or could initiate it by just typing the name of the script in the run dialog or terminal
[06:58] <mrkinder> ez yo bredbins, I is lookin' fo' da ATI drivas n' s**t fo' my motherf***in' AMD64, any of yo mofo's know where I can hit dat?
[06:58] <bclinch> bruenig, thats a bit beyond me i think!
[06:59] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> \AMD sux
[06:59] <nalioth> Zidane_is_Pwn3r: try #ubuntu-it
[06:59] <Zidane_is_Pwn3r> oooh
[06:59] <bruenig> bclinch, generally just look at the contents of the directory. if it has an exectuable that is the name of the program, more often than not you just run that
[06:59] <bruenig> if it has something called configure, you run that
[06:59] <IceCube> I didn't ask fo yo opinion on da chipset wars innit
[07:00] <bclinch> bruenig, thanks you have really helped me
[07:00] <__mikem> IceCube, please reframe from using abusive language in here
[07:00] <jamesstansell> bruenig: is the flock command actually a script?
[07:00] <__mikem> *refrain
[07:00] <bruenig> jamesstansell, no
[07:00] <Lattyware> funkmaster: OK, so what do you reccomend I do?
[07:00] <IceCube> I do apologise sir, now please could I have all information you have to hand on the matter?
[07:00] <SillyZ> whats the command in 6.06.1 to reconfigue Xwindows ?
[07:00] <IceCube> I'd appreciate it greatly
[07:00] <SillyZ> i know it was xf86config prior but know its changed since then
[07:00] <IceCube> All the boys in the hood shall be so so jealous
[07:01] <__mikem> IceCube, I had plenty of bad experience with ATI, drivers would crash unexpectedly, and crap like that, I would just recomend getting a different card
[07:01] <funkmaster> Lattyware:   I had to modprobe the driver myself with the right info (found by trial and error) and finally set it to load with the correct paramaters on boot.
[07:01] <funkmaster> maybe that
[07:01] <avu> sillyz: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' might be what you're looking for
[07:01] <funkmaster> or go back to breezy
[07:01] <funkmaster> there it seems to work
[07:01] <bruenig> avu, yeah I was going to say that but I was a bit unsure of what he was asking
[07:01] <SillyZ> k thanks avu
[07:01] <Lattyware> right...
[07:01] <Daveyboy> despite using kdm and kde, my vncserver conenction uses a gnome desktop, can anybody help to configure to kde?
[07:02] <ed1t> anybody know of a good iso bootable burning software?
[07:02] <IceCube> Thats all very well but someone got me the answer the other day when I installed the 64 bit version and it all worked fine. Only problem is I'm a noob and didn't realise 64-bit unbuntu was a waste of time for me, so I installed 32 bit
[07:02] <bruenig> Daveyboy, #kubuntu is likely better for you
[07:02] <avu> bruenig: me neither, hence the 'might' ;)

[07:02] <IceCube> I have had no problems with crashes though
[07:02] <Daveyboy> bruenig, im using kubuntu
[07:02] <bruenig> Daveyboy, I mean the room #kubuntu
[07:02] <__mikem> IceCube, what exatly is it doing that it shouldn't
[07:02] <bruenig> Daveybody, as in do /join #kubuntu
[07:02] <IceCube> Just finding a way to install the drivers that doesn't involve being Stephen Hawking is what I'm after
[07:02] <bruenig> by room I mean channel
[07:02] <__mikem> oh
[07:02] <__mikem> ok
[07:02] <Daveyboy> bruenig, okay
[07:03] <funkmaster> can some1 help me with mgetty and sendfax? i think mgetty and vgetty work properly but i can't sned any faxes
[07:03] <ed1t> nalioth: will it run on xfce?
[07:03] <__mikem> IceCube, are you using XGL?
[07:03] <IceCube> When I came here two days ago someone directed me to libraries or repositories for me to click on and it accelerated no problem. I just can't remember what it wads
[07:03] <nalioth> ed1t: yup
[07:04] <IceCube> XGL? If I am I don't know about it
[07:04] <__mikem> IceCube, I will assume you are not then
[07:04] <__mikem> What package did that guy ask you to install
[07:05] <waspius_> i installed fvwm but it does not load..anyone know why?
[07:05] <IceCube> __mikem well thats the problem, I don't remember. I just remember him sending me to some links that explained that I had to add a few libraries to use the ATI accelerator
[07:05] <bruenig> !ati
[07:05] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:05] <IceCube> Either that or the ati accelerator was what I had to add
[07:05] <IceCube> I've tried the thing that bot throws out, and its way more complicated than the method that worked for me before
[07:06] <__mikem> IceCube try sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[07:06] <__mikem> lets see
[07:06] <__mikem> !ati
[07:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:06] <IceCube> This looks similar to a method I tried earlier today
[07:06] <IceCube> I'll give it a blast though
[07:06] <warci> weirbut when you install the nvidia driver, double buffering of video playback is disabled... how do you fix this?
[07:07] <IceCube> And as I said before, I've tried the bots method and its beyond me, I'm a complete newbie to all this
[07:07] <y0shi> hi, I tried to disable antialias for small fonts (like suggeste in some guide) and at first font look like I wanted (like small fonts in windows). but now they look bad (like monochrome)
[07:07] <y0shi> any idea what happened?
[07:07] <__mikem> IceCube, I know I was just trying to see what the bot's advice was
[07:07] <y0shi> I couldn't find out what I did that caused it.
[07:07] <IceCube> Aparrently I already have the newest version when I do sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[07:07] <__mikem> IceCube, ok, then that would be the package you were told to install before
[07:08] <IceCube> Thats the package I tried to install today. You see this is a fresh install, I'm on 32-bit after ironically changing from my fully functional 64-bit setup hoping for some more simplicity
[07:09] <__mikem> bruenig, that is unnecessary
[07:09] <lamego> IceCube, did you follow the 3 steps ati driver install how-to ?
[07:09] <dravas> I have Firefox with Flash 4 and Flash 7 installed how do I remove the Flash 4
[07:09] <__mikem> IceCube, now I want you to do the following
[07:09] <IceCube> Ok, which one was this, I've followed about 8 guides now lamego
[07:09] <__mikem> sudo aticonfig --initial
[07:10] <__mikem> sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[07:10] <bruenig> dravas, cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
[07:10] <dravas> ok
[07:10] <bruenig> dravas, that is where all the plugins are, find the one that deals with flash 4 and rm it
[07:10] <h4ch3r> Scp MP3!  [Ouvindo: 03 Hellbound.mp3 3:59/208kbps]
[07:10] <SillyZ> hmmm seems dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org dosent seem to work
[07:10] <IceCube> Admittedly as far as my experience would allow bruenig, I'm sure you just started knowing exactly what the guides meant
[07:10] <lamego> IceCube, bad approach, you should folow only one, and ask for help to figure what went wrong
[07:11] <SillyZ> bah, was missing the xorg on the end, was just putting xserver-org
[07:11] <bruenig> IceCube, I looked at that guide, you open up a terminal and copy and paste like 100 things and that is the extent of it
[07:11] <IceCube> Which one bruenig? The one the bot shows?
[07:11] <bruenig> I still don't know what a lot of that stuff on there is
[07:11] <IceCube> !ati
[07:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:11] <__mikem> bruenig, how about leaving this to someone who DOES know what that stuff is
[07:11] <lamego> IceCube, you just need to install the drivers, and edit a text file to use it instead of the open source driver
[07:11] <cokeslut> sup?
[07:12] <IceCube> I did everything it said in the guide but nothing happened for me when I did the $ fglrxinfo
[07:12] <lamego> installing the driver is like, one command, changing the file is like, changing one line o a text file, xorg.conf
[07:12] <Johnny> my battery for my laptop has a 4 hr life but it it never lasts that long
[07:12] <lamego> IceCube, did you checked that the driver was properly loaded ?
[07:12] <bruenig> __mikem, I did through the !ati, but whatever I don't care much I just think it odd that somebody wants help and then wont take it because it looks like it might be a lot of work
[07:12] <Johnny> just now it only lasted for about 20 minutes
[07:12] <Johnny> is there anything i can do to fix that
[07:13] <IceCube> I presume thats what that command was for
[07:13] <IceCube> $ fglrxinfo
[07:13] <lamego> ops, i mean IceCube
[07:13] <bruenig> Icecube, don't use the $
[07:13] <__mikem> bruenig, he is a self proclaimed n00b, he may be afraid to modify config files, I don't blame him
[07:13] <lamego> IceCube, lsmod | grep -i fglxr
[07:13] <lamego> IceCube, dmesg | grep fglrx
[07:13] <relachs> Hello, i am stuck at the installation, it doesn't let me create the swap partition (new partition) it says there can't be more than 4 Primary paritions at once
[07:14] <IceCube> Half of these guides tell you quite casually to compile or "answer the questions" of a wizard that asks me things I really don't know about my hardware
[07:14] <lamego> IceCube, just to be safe, you did edit the xorg.conf, right ?
[07:14] <HellDragon> reboot brb
[07:14] <bruenig> relachs, you are going to need to make an extended partition and put it in there along with one of your other partitions
[07:14] <__mikem> IceCube, I would recomend not using any guides that ask you to compile something
[07:14] <lamego> IceCube, you dont need to compile unless your model is not supported by the current driver
[07:14] <IceCube> Sorry lamego, I keep losing track while trying to justify my existence to born leet bruenig
[07:15] <lamego> IceCube, , we are your guide now, did you changed xorg.conf ?
[07:15] <__mikem> IceCube have you typed those two commands yet?
[07:15] <__mikem> sudo aticonfig --initial
[07:15] <__mikem> sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[07:15] <cilkay> Hello. I have the 6.06 live CD in my ThinkPad. I want to see if it supports the ThinkPad function controls, specifically switching between the LCD panel and the external VGA output for connecting to a projector. Does the default Live CD support that?
[07:15] <lamego> ciaron, if you have it, why dont you try it :) ?
[07:15] <relachs> bruenig: yes, but how? If i click on the 'new paritition' symbol, this dialog pops up. Do i have to delete a partition first?
[07:15] <greenwom> any Kino users??? I've got problems
[07:16] <bruenig> relachs, yes delete one partition, then right click on the free space and make the whole thing an extended partition, then remake the partition you deleted as well as the swap within that extended partition
[07:16] <Johnny> my 4 hour battery didnt even last 30 minutes until power management could put it on standby
[07:16] <Johnny> does anyone know what the problem might be?
[07:16] <greenwom> Kino constant drop frames and crashes.....
[07:17] <raghu206> problem while logging out screen appears blank nothing appears in dapper drake
[07:17] <Ropechoborra> raghu206 And the starting one too??
[07:18] <rancid> I installed network-manager-gnome, but accidentally removed the icon on my panel. Anyone know how to get it back? BTW, I'm not talking about the the network monitor that defaults to the panel.
[07:18] <raghu206> Ropechoborra, at starting it is normal login screen appears
[07:18] <Ropechoborra> raghu206 i got both in blank .. =( dont know how to fix it
[07:19] <bruenig> rancid, if you know the command for network-manager-gnome, you should be able to create a launcher on the panel by right clicking on it and selecting add to panel then application launcher or custom application launcher
[07:19] <rancid> I have no idea
[07:19] <_gpg_> salut
[07:20] <cilkay> How do you configure display mirroring with the Live CD?
[07:20] <bruenig> rancid, how do you access network-manager-gnome other than that launcher you had
[07:20] <_gpg_> je voudrais connaitre votre avis concernant l'utilisationd'easybuntu
[07:20] <raghu206> ropechoborra, did u fix it
[07:20] <bruenig> through a system menu I would guess?
[07:20] <_gpg_> oop
[07:20] <_gpg_> really sry
[07:20] <relachs> bruenig: it only let's me create primary partitions :(
[07:20] <Ropechoborra> raghu206 No =( i dont know how
[07:20] <bruenig> relachs, it should work
[07:21] <lamego> rancid, gnome-net<tab>
[07:21] <lamego> on a terminal
[07:21] <rancid> bruenig, it just resided in the panel as an icon when I installed it
[07:21] <lamego> should be one of those
[07:21] <lamego> rancid, you mean on the panel, like an applet ?
[07:21] <bruenig> lamego, I think he means launcher
[07:21] <bruenig> perhaps not
[07:22] <lamego> launchers are not on panels, unless you add them there :)
[07:22] <bruenig> rancid, did this thing on the panel move and do stuff or just sit idly until you clicked on it
[07:22] <lamego> on that case the entry would be on the menu also :)
[07:22] <rancid> gnome-net : command not found
[07:22] <bruenig> rancid, gnome-net<tab><tab>
[07:23] <rancid> I cant believe you guys dont know network-manager
[07:23] <bruenig> then look at the list it gives you to see if it looks like what you need
[07:23] <lamego> rancid, have you tried "Add To Panel" ?
[07:23] <buntu418> guys how to make amarok play mpg file wmv files?
[07:23] <lamego> rancid, why should i need it ? i just have 1 network card
[07:23] <rancid> It does not reside in add to panel
[07:23] <Ropechoborra> buntu418 i dont think amarok does that
[07:23] <relachs>  i have got /hda1, /hda2, 'not used', and an extended hda3
[07:23] <bruenig> rancid, do you mean network tools?
[07:24] <bruenig> rancid, do gnome-nettool, and see if what it launches is what you are talking about
[07:24] <buntu418> Ropechoborra: it did play last time when i installed ubuntu to a friends pc... it plays the audio layer of mpg files
[07:24] <relachs> bruenig: and its not possible to create an extended in the 'not used' row
[07:24] <Ropechoborra> buntu418 Oh... didnt knew that
[07:24] <rancid> no!!! Network-manager-gnome. It allows you to switch between wired and wireless networks on a laptop
[07:24] <bruenig> relachs hard for me to do much not seeing your partition table or what exactly you are doing
[07:25] <bruenig> rancid, I don't have a laptop nor wireless connectivity, hence no knowledge
[07:25] <bruenig> however I have the knowledge of launchers and applets and the like and know how to create them. If you can identify how to start the program, I can do the rest
[07:25] <buntu418> any guy who knows amarok and engines?? to make it play mpg as audio files
[07:26] <Audesse> buntu - check out the wiki...search restricted formats
[07:26] <rancid> bruenig I have no idea how it started
[07:26] <bruenig> rancid, maybe it is an applet you are talking about, right click on the panel then scroll all the way down and see if it is there
[07:26] <bruenig> right click on the panel click add to panel and then scroll down*
[07:26] <rancid> it is not listed in the add to panel
[07:26] <buntu418> thanks
[07:27] <bruenig> rancid, I see it
[07:27] <bruenig> does the icon look like two computers and it lights up and all that good stuff
[07:27] <lamego> rancid, I dont believe you could have a gnome applet which is not on the applet add menu
[07:27] <rancid> no that is network monitor which I can add to the panel. I dont need this
[07:28] <bruenig> rancid, can you at least tell if it is an applet or launcher that you were used to clicking on
[07:28] <relachs> bruenig: i would make a screenshot but it doesnt work
[07:29] <bruenig> relachs, I don't use the graphical install for just these kind of problems, too buggy, I would use alternate cd if I were you
[07:30] <relachs> i have got a gparted cd
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> you can have a custom applet launcher and add that to the panel.
[07:30] <rancid> it resided on the panel after I installed it. if you clicked it it would allow you to switch between wired and wireless networks.
[07:30] <TheGame> sup
[07:30] <relachs> brb
[07:31] <bruenig> rancid, it is hard to know if that is a launcher or applet, seems unlikely that a launcher would be made for you with an install so if I had to guess i would say applet, but if it is an applet you should be able to add it through that right click add to panel dialog
[07:31] <bruenig> rancid, you could try uninstalling and then reinstalling, maybe it will do it again for you. But you probably should figure out why it works and that way you can at least put it back if it goes away
[07:32] <Tonren> How do I get Gaim to stop starting on boot up?!?!!
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> rancid: that is the network monitor applet.
[07:32] <rancid> Problem is I dont know how to start it. If you know suse it it is the network manager that is installed by default on that os
[07:32] <bruenig> fyrestrtr, that is what i told him, he disagrees
[07:32] <lamego> Tonren, System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[07:33] <bruenig> rancid, you are absolutely sure it isn't network monitor?
[07:33] <rancid> You guys, that applet is not what I am talking about
[07:33] <Tonren> lamego: I've removed it from the sessions, it's not on the startup list, I've set it as "Trash" in the startup settings
[07:33] <Tonren> lamego: IT WON'T GO AWAY!
[07:33] <rancid> It is not network monitor
[07:33] <bruenig> rancid, when you click on it it gives you an option to do just what you were talking about or at least it appears to. I don't have two connections to test it
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> rancid: what did it do? allow you to switch between wireless and wired?
[07:34] <frying_fish> anyone around happen to use i915 for graphics and output to a LCD tv from the vga connection?

[07:41] <rancid> about network-manager-gnome, it adds nm-applet to the sessions, but I cant seem to restart it. I just need to bring back the icon that resided in my panel
[07:41] <lamego> not if you don't describe your problem
[07:41] <digit> hi all
[07:42] <ubuntu> but last week i got the same problem , i put a command in the console and all ok , it was a command that view th erros and reapir it
[07:42] <Crooper> hello all
[07:42] <cokeslut> Hi
[07:42] <ubuntu> do u know some command that make that_
[07:43] <drbashir> fyrestrtr, got that, but need some help with this: http://www.opensync.org/wiki/SetupGuide...
[07:43] <drbashir> I'm stuck at trying to sync a vCard...
[07:43] <digit> I have just installed ubuntu dapper , and I was wondering I heard there was a tool that maked installing video cards easy  anyone ever hear of this
[07:44] <drbashir> !easyubuntu > digit
[07:44] <digit> ah yes
[07:44] <DanaG> I just thought of another question:
[07:44] <DanaG> Which was is better when compiling my own kernel:
[07:44] <digit> man i have a night mare of a video card nvidia 6200 turbo cache
[07:44] <digit> sucks
[07:45] <jmelloy> I'm installling ubuntu on a macbook.
[07:45] <DanaG> The source from "git" or the source from the repos?
[07:45] <KrakensDen> digit, could be worse
[07:45] <drbashir> fyrestrtr, stuck at this section: "Second test: Add a sample vcard to the directory"
[07:45] <lamego> digit, video cards are easy to install if you have a mainstream model, ati or nvidia
[07:45] <longbean> nvidia cards are usually supported pretty well under linux aren't they?
[07:45] <KrakensDen> does anyone know the difference between dapper and dapper-updates?
[07:45] <lamego> digit, have you tried the nvidia how-to ?
[07:45] <KrakensDen> I can't find any documentation
[07:45] <drbashir> !pastebin
[07:45] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:46] <digit> it installs fine but the 3d dont work
[07:46] <harisund> can anybody tell me what kind of a framerate can be considered *decent* in the output of glxgears -printfps?
[07:46] <jmelloy> And I installed the ati drivers, and ran aticonfig
[07:46] <lamego> digit, did you install the nvidia driver ?
[07:46] <jmelloy> which fixed my resolution
[07:46] <DanaG> Also, is it possible to make the new kernel I compile have the same suffix as the old one so I can use its restricted-modules?
[07:46] <KrakensDen> digit, you need to enable it
[07:46] <jmelloy> but when I do fglrxinfo, I get mesa as the opengl driver
[07:46] <cokeslut> you tell me
[07:46] <KrakensDen> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[07:46] <jmelloy> ati drivers
[07:47] <digit> how do you enable
[07:47] <KrakensDen> and don't install nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings
[07:47] <lamego> jmelloy, did you chcked that the driver is setup on xorg.conf ?
[07:47] <jmelloy> it seems to be
[07:47] <digit> ive only tried it on debian
[07:47] <KrakensDen> digit, did that work?
[07:48] <KrakensDen> digit, if it didn't, what it does is fairly simple
[07:48] <digit> once when i first got the card
[07:48] <KrakensDen> digit, and if you need to do it manually, just ask, I can help
[07:48] <Crooper> in xorg.conf change 'nv' to 'nvidia'
[07:48] <digit> ok im asking
[07:48] <funkja> how do I look at my processor speed?
[07:49] <KrakensDen> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:49] <lamego> funkja, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:49] <KrakensDen> search for 'nv'
[07:49] <TheGame> any1 know of any cool tips and tricks
[07:49] <KrakensDen> change that to 'nvidia'
[07:49] <TheGame> im looking in the forums and cant find any that i havent done
[07:49] <__mikem> !nvidia
[07:49] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:49] <lamego> funkja, okr "lshw"
[07:50] <KrakensDen> and make sure DRI section with chmod 0666 exists
[07:50] <KrakensDen> I think ubuntu does that by default though
[07:50] <KrakensDen> 	Mode	0666
[07:50] <KrakensDen> EndSection <- put that in wherever
[07:50] <DShepherd> does the alternate cd allow you to resize partitions non-destructively on installation of ubuntu dapper 6.06.1?
[07:50] <drbashir> fyrestrtr, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21117
[07:50] <TheGame> any1 here good with bash scripts
[07:51] <TheGame> i want to automate my camera
[07:51] <digit> ok
[07:51] <KrakensDen> bollocks on xchat
[07:51] <TheGame> so that when i plug it in the pictures are moved to a folder automattically
[07:51] <digit> sounds good
[07:51] <MinceR> hi
[07:51] <TheGame> ?
[07:51] <rixxon> meep i want edgy. now!

[07:51] <MinceR> how does libapache2-mod-perl2 work out of the box (that is, where do i need to put .pl files to get them to run, do i need to do anything else)?
[07:53] <rixxon> r000t, perhaps try this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44191
[07:53] <drbashir> ...
[07:54] <r000t> rixxon: been there done that.. doesnt work
[07:54] <rixxon> r000t, ok :(
[07:54] <r000t> rixxon: is it the same version of xorg as then
[07:55] <rixxon> huh
[07:55] <FurryNemesis> is swiftfox as fast or faster than firefox+fasterfox? Anyone with experience?
[07:57] <lamego> funkmaster, it is expected to be, at least have compiled firefox for my amd system and it did performed a lot better
[07:57] <digitalhav0c> FurryNemesis, to me swiftfox wasn't really any faster than my regular firefox
[07:57] <funkmaster> typo
[07:58] <digitalhav0c> to me
[07:58] <FurryNemesis> lamego, I'm on a normal i386 system. I suppose your amd sys appreciated some tweaking?
[07:58] <digitalhav0c> at least
[07:58] <rixxon> FurryNemesis, if you need speed perhaps try epiphany
[07:59] <teacordes> how can i completely remove a program?
[07:59] <FurryNemesis> thank you
[07:59] <lamego> FurryNemesis, there is nothing like trying it :)
[07:59] <lamego> teacordes, go to synaptic and remove it ?
[08:00] <teacordes> lamego: i am trying to completly remove vmware. when i install it termnial says there are files to overwrite and it is not in synaptic
[08:01] <Audesse> are you using sudo to install it?
[08:01] <FurryNemesis> was going to anyway, just wondered if ppl preferred it over normal FF
[08:02] <teacordes> yes
[08:02] <lamego> teacordes, sudo vmware-uninstall.pl
[08:02] <lamego> teacordes, next time be more specific on the program you want to remove :)
[08:02] <lamego> and it also depends on how it was installed...
[08:03] <fangorious> how to do i stop receiving emails for bugs on launchpad?
[08:03] <teacordes> lamego: ok thank you. but it says file not foun!
[08:04] <Audesse> teacordes - try sudo locate -u, then sudo locate vmware
[08:04] <teacordes> maybe you can help when i post the log of installation?
[08:04] <ubuntu> how can i view my partitions ?
[08:04] <ubuntu> and if they are hda1 hda2 ..
[08:04] <ubuntu> any command?
[08:04] <fangorious> ubuntu: fdisk -l
[08:05] <exs> Someone needs to write a script for the S3 graphics UniChrome Pro IGP, and then they need to implement it in edgy eft for automatic instillation.
[08:05] <ubuntu> fangorious, ubuntu@dhcppc0:~$ fdisk -l
[08:05] <ubuntu> ubuntu@dhcppc0:~$
[08:05] <ubuntu> nothing
[08:05] <teacordes> Audesse: i get a lot on this
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> run it as root with sudo
[08:06] <ubuntu> cool thamnks
[08:06] <MinceR> byte
[08:07] <Audesse> teacordes: do you see one that says vmware-uninstall.pl?
[08:07] <ubuntu> thanks a lot people
[08:07] <ubuntu> best help channel
[08:07] <ubuntu> :D
[08:07] <ubuntu> bye
[08:08] <jmelloy> so any ideas how to check on the video card?
[08:08] <teacordes> Audesse: no there are only some debs
[08:08] <teacordes> Audesse but there is a folder /etc/vmware
[08:08] <fangorious> jmelloy: check what on the video card?
[08:09] <Audesse> teacordes: is the vmware folder empty?
[08:09] <jmelloy> I have a macbook pro, which has an ati mobility x1600 (I think)
[08:09] <jmelloy> I installed the ati drivers, and ran aticonfig, which fixed my resolution
[08:09] <jmelloy> but when I do fglrxinfo, I get mesa as teh open gl driver
[08:10] <fangorious> jmelloy: you using the pre-packaged fglrx from the repos, or manually from ati.com?
[08:10] <jmelloy> ati.com
[08:10] <teacordes> no, there are 2 files: ucordes@blueberry:/etc/vmware$ dir : locations , not_configured
[08:10] <TheGame> hey
[08:10] <TheGame> everytime i boot
[08:11] <jmelloy> and I added fglrx to /etc/default/linux-restricted-blah
[08:11] <TheGame> networkmanager asks me to put in a password
[08:11] <TheGame> for the keyring
[08:11] <TheGame> how do i disable that
[08:11] <fangorious> jmelloy: is the ati.com version newer than the packaged version?
[08:12] <jmelloy> how do I check the version of the packaged one?
[08:12] <TheGame> any1?
[08:12] <TheGame> ok heres another question
[08:12] <jmelloy> the ati one is 8.28.8
[08:12] <Pesa> cu
[08:12] <Audesse> teacordes: what do you get when you do ls -al /etc/vmware ?
[08:12] <TheGame> how do i decide what happens to ubuntu when i close my laptop screen
[08:12] <salah> is there any extra theme packages I can install via synaptic?
[08:13] <fangorious> TheGame: I could be mistaken, but I think that's something being worked on for a future release (the network manager keyring thing)
[08:13] <teacordes> Audesse: may i paste it here?
[08:13] <teacordes> it's not too big
[08:13] <TheGame> ok
[08:13] <TheGame> what about laptop lid
[08:13] <fangorious> jmelloy: you could search for fglrx in synaptic
[08:13] <teacordes> TheGame: you can't disable the password prompt afaik
[08:13] <TheGame> thats fine
[08:13] <Audesse> teacordes: yeah it shouldn't be a problem I don't think
[08:13] <fangorious> TheGame: look in .... /etc/acpi/scripts, something like that
[08:13] <TheGame> will do
[08:14] <teacordes> insgesamt 12
[08:14] <teacordes> drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 2006-08-19 20:06 .

[08:14] <jmelloy> synaptec has 8.25.18
[08:14] <exs> Is there an automated install script for the S3 graphics UniChrome Pro IGP?
[08:14] <teacordes> TheGame: click system > settings > engery..
[08:15] <TheGame> teacordes: i dont have that
[08:15] <jmelloy> synaptec has "xorg-driver-fglrx" but it isn't installed
[08:15] <TheGame> oh
[08:15] <TheGame> power management?
[08:15] <Scorpmoon> what is the difference between "Install to hard disk" and "Install a LAMP server" ?
[08:15] <fangorious> jmelloy: have you seen this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198453
[08:16] <TheGame> oh i see it
[08:16] <TheGame> thanks
[08:16] <teacordes> TheGame: yes first think :-)
[08:16] <teacordes> Audesse: what does this tell me?
[08:16] <jmelloy> eah, I followed those directions
[08:16] <jmelloy> only with a newer version of the ati drivers
[08:17] <Scorpmoon> does "Install a LAMP server" include the first option, just with those 4 apps?
[08:17] <jmelloy> and just installing it instead of making the packages
[08:17] <exs_> How do I open a port in the firewall?
[08:17] <Audesse> teacordes: I was hoping that the permissions were set up such that you couldn't write to those files even as root, but you can
[08:17] <Cookie> server irc.freenode.net
[08:17] <DetlefE> Hello there.  Quick *simplistic* question: Can I install a printer driver that is packaged as an RPM?
[08:17] <nalioth> exs_: firewalls are not necessary in a default ubuntu install
[08:17] <richiefrich> exs_ what are u using  ---> smoothwall ?
[08:17] <Cookie> SERVER IRC.FREENODE.NET
[08:17] <jmelloy> Cookie: you're already here.
[08:17] <richiefrich> Cookie yes thats where u are
[08:18] <exs_> nalioth:  well, i heard ubuntu had a firewall, and my torrent downloads are going slow.
[08:18] <Cookie> :))
[08:18] <richiefrich> exs_ thats the torrent
[08:18] <nalioth> exs_: if you've installed Ubuntu and YOU have not enabled a firewall, there is none
[08:18] <fangorious> jmelloy: maybe try making packages then. I have a different ati chip but using both the pre-packaged and building packages have worked for me
[08:18] <richiefrich> exs_  or what app are u using for the torrents
[08:18] <exs_> nalioth; i heard it is enabled by default
[08:18] <Cookie> #ubuntu.tr
[08:19] <exs_> i use azureus
[08:19] <nalioth> exs_: not so.
[08:19] <richiefrich> azureus has many options
[08:19] <richiefrich> chnage the port
[08:19] <richiefrich> change*
[08:19] <exs> nalioth: that's not very good then is it?.. no firewall?.. i heard ubuntu was supposed to be secure
[08:19] <teacordes> Audesse: so what am i gonna do now? remove the folder and install again?
[08:19] <richiefrich> exs linux it secure
[08:19] <jmelloy> is there a better way of checking if it's loaded than fglrxinfo?
[08:19] <richiefrich> exs  it;s the user
[08:20] <fangorious> exs_: do you have a direct internet connection, or are you behind a nat/router?
[08:20] <richiefrich> exs dont u have a router?
[08:20] <exs> nalioth:  i also done a open port scan, and it found no open ports, not even port 80.
[08:20] <nalioth> exs: if you curse a deaf man, will he be offended? Ubuntu is a Unix-like operating system, it is inherently secure by default
[08:20] <exs> fangorious:  im using a router.
[08:20] <richiefrich> exs thats the router then ..
[08:20] <^Lynx^> hello. I've got a problem. Xmms has just frozen and I cant close it anymore. I heard the command kill should help but "kill xmms" doesnt work
[08:20] <jmelloy> "inherently secure by default" might be overstating things
[08:20] <^Lynx^> I'm quite new to linux btw
[08:20] <nalioth> exs: windows requires a 'firewall' and 'antivirus' and other crutches for it to be secure because it is badly written dreck
[08:20] <richiefrich> exs and also if port 80 is closed thats your isp
[08:20] <exs> jmelloy i think ubuntu should have a firewall by default
[08:20] <fangorious> exs: did you configure the router to forward the power that azureus is using?
[08:21] <Flamekebab> "no AV" doesn't mean insecure, it means no need for
[08:21] <Audesse> teacordes: I would try moving those files first
[08:21] <Flamekebab> why burden the OS with unnecessary clutter
[08:21] <exs> fangorious:  yeah, done all that.
[08:21] <Flamekebab> why would you need a firewall by default?
[08:21] <exs> don't worry it's not a terrible problem, i'm good at making my downloads faster.
[08:21] <Scorpmoon> can someone please explain to me the difference between "Install to hard disk" and "Install a LAMP server" .. is the 2nd option the same as the 1st, with more preinstalled packages?
[08:21] <fangorious> exs: if there aren't any services listening, what is a firewall going block connections to?
[08:21] <teacordes> Audesse: because i could damage my system by removing them or why?
[08:21] <exs> Flamekebab:  because hackers can get in
[08:21] <nalioth> exs: if there are no listening services, what is gonna happen ?
[08:21] <Luke> leagris: were you helping me before?
[08:21] <fangorious> exs: get in through what?
[08:21] <exs> nalioth:  ok true
[08:22] <richiefrich> exs  hackers can get in anyway if they want to
[08:22] <Audesse> teacordes: yeah...maybe I'm just over-cautious haha
[08:22] <exs> fangorious:  i grew up in the windows world. no tin foil hat needed.
[08:22] <exs> (all makes sense now)
[08:22] <^Lynx^> no one here who could help me :( ?
[08:22] <richiefrich> exs looks like u need one
[08:22] <panamax> hello guys
[08:22] <fangorious> jmelloy: i think fglrxinfo is the accepted way of checking for hardware acceleration, only way i've used
[08:22] <bigfuzzyjesus> fire walls are worthless
