[05:25] <nm> bluey: you may need to download sources and/or generic packages
[05:25] <brenner> wastrel: are the dungeons random?  i kept getting stuck with nowhere to go.
[05:25] <nm> bluey: i'm not sure if there are debian/ubuntu packages for those programs
[05:25] <nm> check synaptic
[05:25] <nm> (sic?)
[05:25] <wastrel> brenner:  random, but there's always a way through
[05:25] <durnkencobra> hey i am new to ubuntu
[05:25] <wastrel> brenner:  search along the walls (s) for secret doors
[05:25] <nm> hmm
[05:25] <mustard5> ivo_, what you are saying does not make sense
[05:25] <nm> he has already left
[05:25] <durnkencobra> can one of you help?
[05:25] <nm> my text is far too small
[05:25] <nm> hehe
[05:25] <wastrel> brenner:  #nethack ;]
[05:25] <southern> Xenguy
[05:26] <_jason> durnkencobra: just ask :)
[05:26] <Xenguy> durnkencobra: ask
[05:26] <nickrud> durnkencobra, some one will
[05:26] <mustard5> ivo_, what makes you think it is freezing?
[05:26] <durnkencobra> how do I disconnect a usb drive
[05:26] <amphi> durnkencobra: 'durnken'? heh
[05:26] <durnkencobra> to remove it safely
[05:26] <brenner> wastrel: yeah, i remember pressing search at every step though (i just gave up and uninstalled it). :)
[05:26] <Jivers> anybody running ubuntu lite?
[05:26] <durnkencobra> or can I just remove it?
[05:26] <southern> if I type: "ssh southern@localhost" it doesn't answer
[05:26] <nm> durnkencobra, umount it first
[05:26] <ivo_> When i put the comand its ok when i need the write a password than i can"t any text any number put
[05:26] <durnkencobra> how do I do that?
[05:26] <nandemonai> durnkencobra, if it shows on the desktop u can right click and unmount it
[05:26] <dvx> on the desktop there should be an icon for the drive
[05:26] <_jason> durnkencobra: you can probably right click on it and select unmount
[05:26] <dvx> right click
[05:26] <nickrud> durnkencobra, right click, unmount (on the desktop) or umount /dev/<device>
[05:26] <durnkencobra> oh ok let me try
[05:27] <mustard5> ivo_, I understand that..but thats normal
[05:27] <B_166-ER-X> does anyone here uses gtkpod with a ipod shuffle ?
[05:27] <mustard5> ivo_, text never appears when you type in a password in terminal
[05:27] <Xenguy> southern: man ssh (you need syntax like: ssh -l user localhost
[05:27] <durnkencobra> cool..that worked
[05:27] <durnkencobra> thanks guys
[05:27] <ivo_> Numbers too
[05:27] <nandemonai> durnkencobra, in Linux all media is 'mounted' like say a cd, u wont be able to remove it untill it is unmounted even hitting the eject button on the drive wont release it unless it has been unmounted
[05:28] <mshade> B_166-ER-X, i think the shuffle is used just like any other usb drive
[05:28] <mustard5> ivo_, numbers or text...it doesnt matter...they never show..thats normal
[05:28] <mshade> aka, mass storage device.  other ipods not so
[05:28] <nm> southern: the switch is -l <user> <host>
[05:28] <nm> heh
[05:28] <durnkencobra> have you guys figured out a mail program that will pop different account like msn yahoo and gmail?
[05:28] <amphi> nandemonai: eject(1) unmounts for you
[05:28] <B_166-ER-X> mshade,  oh non, not at all, its different from all other mp3 player...in this way
[05:28] <ivo_> :) but i can"t put the password
[05:28] <durnkencobra> it would be enough to just even get an indication whether i have new mail
[05:28] <mshade> durnkencobra, if you have pop3 for all the accounts.. any mail client
[05:29] <wastrel> <3 fetchmai.
[05:29] <wastrel> er. fetchmail
[05:29] <chadwick|359> <3 the mail command
[05:29] <nickrud> mmm, fetchmail
[05:29] <mustard5> ivo_, put in the wrong password and hit enter
[05:29] <mustard5> ivo_, tell me what it says
[05:29] <wastrel> chadwick|359:  mailx
[05:29] <mustard5> ivo_, hit some keys and hit enter
[05:29] <Xylene> does ubuntu automatically add my windows install to grub when installed?
[05:29] <ivo_> i can"t put
[05:29] <nickrud> Xylene, yes
[05:29] <_jason> Xylene: should
[05:29] <durnkencobra> cool I will look into it thanks
[05:29] <chadwick|359> wastrel: ty, forgot what it was
[05:29] <amphi> Xylene: should do
[05:29] <Xylene> thanks, just figured i'd check before i did it
[05:30] <amphi> Xylene: but not as default ;)
[05:30] <nickrud> Xylene, in all my installs, ubuntu's never failed to do that
[05:30] <wastrel> keroppi's birthday is july 10th
[05:30] <southern> Xenguy & nm: i typed:"ssh -l southern localhost" but the same -> doesn't answer
[05:30] <Xylene> it doesn't by default?
[05:30] <wastrel> southern:  did you install ssh server?
[05:30] <_keroppi_> wastrel: Me or the frog?
[05:30] <wastrel> the frog
[05:30] <southern> yes
[05:30] <southern> and started
[05:30] <amphi> Xylene: no, windows will not boot by default, you need to explicitly choose it in grub's menu
[05:30] <biovore> netstat -nal | grep 22
[05:30] <_keroppi_> wastrel: You must have a lot of women who want to make sweet love to you given that you know that
[05:30] <nickrud> Xylene, he means, XP is not the default boot os, ubuntu is. You'll find XP in the boot screen selection, though
[05:30] <biovore> is it running? (sshd)
[05:30] <nm> southern: netstat -an | grep -v STREAM | grep LISTEN
[05:30] <nm> make sure it is there
[05:30] <mustard5> ivo_, ok...I'm going to explain how you can get to another terminal....
[05:31] <Xylene> ah yeah i knew that. i just wanted to know if it would be added
[05:31] <ivo_> ok
[05:31] <mustard5> ivo_, you need to read carefully before doing...
[05:31] <amphi> nickrud: thanks for disambiguating ;)
[05:31] <wastrel> _keroppi_:  it's my girlfriend's birthday too
[05:31] <jjjjjjj> i'd like to test a ftp server... what does ubuntu have?
[05:31] <ivo_> ok
[05:31] <nm> jjjjjjj, vsftpd is great, i'd suggest you try it first
[05:31] <nickrud> amphi, I am at your service ;)
[05:31] <Xenguy> jjjjjjj: vsftpd is light-weight, and recommended
[05:31] <jjjjjjj> i read the wiki on pureftp but the instructions are sketchy
[05:31] <amphi> heh
[05:31] <southern> tcp6    0   0  :::22              :::*              LISTEN
[05:32] <jjjjjjj> thx nm... i'll look
[05:32] <mustard5> ivo_, using ctrl+alt+f1 will take you to a terminal screen   use ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to desktop... do that and then come back to desktop
[05:32] <nandemonai> jjjjjjj, install vsftpd edit the conf and ur done.. easy
[05:32] <nm> southern: place your output from ssh -l southern <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:32] <nm> on the pastebin
[05:32] <nm> and let me have a look
[05:32] <wastrel> flashplayer in mozilla - no sound...  how do i fix this?
[05:33] <mustard5> ivo_, tell me if you are back :)
[05:33] <nickrud> wastrel, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats has a section on flashplayer, and sound issues
[05:33] <ivo_> not work
[05:33] <ivo_> :)
[05:33] <jjjjjjj> is that ( vsftpd) a   repository
[05:33] <ivo_> i think is keybord wrong
[05:33] <nm> it isn't a repository itself, no, but it is contained within a repository
[05:33] <nm> ;/
[05:33] <mustard5> ivo_, how are you typing now then?
[05:33] <southern> !tell southern pastebin
[05:33] <jjjjjjj> well.... :)
[05:33] <tuanduc> bonjour
[05:34] <cwillu_> on a completely different subject:  you know what's annoying?  drag-n-drop from the archive manager;  it seems like I have to hold the item over the destination until it's finish unpacking, or it aborts the whole thing
[05:34] <Xenguy> !tell southern about pastebin
[05:34] <ivo_> :) mhhh
[05:34] <nickrud> cwillu_, yeah :)
[05:34] <mustard5> ivo_, I don't understand how this problem is happening
[05:34] <mustard5> ivo_, you need to explain more
[05:34] <wastrel> nickrud:  thx
[05:34] <tuanduc> anyone play Gunbound ?
[05:34] <nickrud> cwillu_, annoying as hell, isn't it
[05:35] <nm> tuanduc: i don't play it on this machine, but have played it in the past
[05:35] <nandemonai> Maybe ivo_ is in irc on another machine?
[05:35] <ivo_> X-chat
[05:35] <cwillu_> nickrud:  very
[05:35] <mustard5> nandemonai, I'm pretty sure he is on the same machine
[05:35] <Xenguy> mmmm, frag and crop
[05:35] <nandemonai> well I find it hard to believe u cant type in a terminal but can in a xchat window
[05:35] <mustard5> ivo_, so keyboard is working with xchat...
[05:35] <nickrud> archive manager maintains my command line tar skills, simply for self preservation
[05:36] <mustard5> ivo_, but not with terminal when typing passwords?
[05:36] <ivo_> yes
[05:37] <mustard5> ivo_, and your ctrl + alt +f1 keys are not working?
[05:37] <ivo_> yes
[05:37] <nandemonai> weird
[05:37] <mustard5> ivo_, very strange
[05:37] <wastrel> nickrud:  fixed :]   <3 u
[05:37] <nandemonai> ivo_, have you got another keyboard lying round u can test with?
[05:37] <ivo_> when i puting in terminal a comand its works but when me promit the password than not work
[05:38] <nickrud> wastrel, good. Glad to hear that part of the page is still useful
[05:38] <mustard5> ivo_, are you pressing ctrl + alt + f1 all at the same time?
[05:38] <ivo_> Nop i dont get any more keybords
[05:38] <ivo_> yes
[05:38] <mustard5> ivo_, k
[05:38] <sinaduel> I need help, I want to put video on my TV with my Geforce FX5200 but I do not know how
[05:38] <nandemonai> ivo_, what kind of keybord is it?
[05:38] <cwillu_> okay, first impression of the mozilla.org build of moz-1.7.12 is that it's snappier, more like I expect it to be
[05:38] <ivo_> whats mean "kind"?
[05:38] <mustard5> ivo_, brand name
[05:38] <nandemonai> ivo_, brand
[05:39] <mustard5> ivo_, what is the name of the keyboard maker
[05:39] <ivo_> Logitech
[05:39] <mustard5> ivo_, set up for Latvian?
[05:39] <Madeye> guys, is there an Opensource alternative to x-lite?
[05:39] <ivo_> yes
[05:39] <nandemonai> ivo_, what type of connection? ps2? usb? wireless?
[05:39] <ivo_> Cable
[05:39] <nickrud> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NvidiaTVOut < --- sinaduel maybe this will help
[05:39] <nandemonai> odd indeed.. I'm afraid I can't help you
[05:40] <sinaduel> nickrud: thankyou
[05:40] <mustard5> nandemonai, he just installed nvidia drivers...maybe it changed his xorg.conf
[05:40] <cwillu_> now the real test:  opening up my poker article session
[05:40] <nandemonai> ahh true possible
[05:40] <mustard5> nandemonai, running nvidia-glx-config enable returned an error saying couldnt alter xorg.conf because it wasnt standard
[05:41] <mustard5> nandemonai, which makes me think he had some type of setting in there for his keyboard
[05:41] <nandemonai> ok now where getting somewhere.. sounds quite easonable
[05:41] <mustard5> nandemonai, but strictly speaking the config on nvidia failed and said it couldnt change xorg.conf
[05:41] <nickrud> mustard5, find the line that has "nv" in it, and change to nvidia. that's all that nvidia-glx-config does, really
[05:41] <nandemonai> damn this 80's keyboard
[05:41] <OmegaAlpha> cwillu_, what poker game did you download?
[05:42] <mustard5> nickrud, I'll see how I go, but we can't seem to enter a sudo password
[05:42] <cwillu_> poker articles
[05:42] <cwillu_> although I run pokerstars via wine on ubuntu
[05:42] <nickrud> mustard5, that's another issue. are you sure you don't have sudo working (for example, sudo ls)
[05:42] <OmegaAlpha> cwillu_, oh whoops read it too quick
[05:43] <cwillu_> stars runs out of the box, which is nice
[05:43] <OmegaAlpha> cwillu_, yeah me too.. do you get sound with poker stars though? because i dont
[05:43] <cwillu_> hmm
[05:43] <mustard5> nickrud, ivo_ is saying that when it asks for password he can't enter it...I explained that its not visible, but he is adamant that he has a problem
[05:43] <cwillu_> I don't have speakers hooked up on this machine, so I'm not sure
[05:43] <cwillu_> I'm pretty sure it makes system speaker beeps though
[05:43] <mustard5> nickrud, so I'm in a catch22 situation :)
[05:44] <nickrud> mustard5, ivo_ either /etc/sudoers is wrong, or /etc/hosts is wrong (I've seen both)
[05:44] <benplaut> is there a way to make libfam and gamin coexist? i need libfam for Enlightenment
[05:44] <brian_> !ati
[05:44] <ubotu> from memory, ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[05:44] <mustard5> nickrud, he is Latvian btw and doesnt speak a lot of English :)
[05:44] <aslkzxmn> hello all, iam aslkzxmn, i want to ask something about ubuntu
[05:44] <cwillu_> okay, all the articles loaded, vm size and working set are about the same as my windows session, rather than 4 times the size
[05:44] <nickrud> benplaut, no there isn't. You can use fam in place of gamin, but that will force you to remove ubuntu-desktop (not a critical thing)
[05:44] <cwillu_> m'thinks this is a good sign
[05:45] <fojackedddolt> noobie questions: I have unbuntu installed, but i cant figure out how to mount my seccond hard drive so i can view the media files in it. It is ntsf, and is the slave of the main ide channel.
[05:45] <ivo_> bash: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[05:45] <benplaut> nickrud: could you manually put everything back again?
[05:45] <mustard5> ivo_, I need you to something and just follow each step for me please
[05:45] <aslkzxmn> ubuntu, what the meaning ?
[05:45] <OmegaAlpha> fojackedddolt, i dont think ntfs is supported by linux
[05:45] <mustard5> ivo_, open up terminal..
[05:45] <ivo_> ok
[05:45] <aslkzxmn> why the name of this ditro ubuntu..
[05:46] <fojackedddolt> it might be fat32. what would i do then?
[05:46] <nm> aslkzxmn, www.ubuntu.org
[05:46] <benplaut> nickrud: it tries to remove ubuntu-desktop, but not just the meta package... every single package depended by ubuntu-desktop
[05:46] <nickrud> benplaut, no, fam conflicts with gamin, so it's either one or both
[05:46] <OmegaAlpha> fojackedddolt, if its fat32 then you should see it
[05:46] <mustard5> ivo_, type sudo whoami     ... and then when it asks for your password....hit some keys then hit enter....tell me what happens
[05:46] <nickrud> *the other, I mean
[05:46] <mustard5> ivo_, don't try to enter your password..just hit some keys and hit enter
[05:46] <benplaut> nickrud: but with fam, gnome wouldn't be installable?
[05:47] <nickrud> benplaut, gnome used fam before gamin, and as far as I remember, it still can
[05:47] <mustard5> ivo_, what do you see on your screen when you do that?
[05:47] <aslkzxmn> thanks ... :)
[05:47] <OmegaAlpha> fojackedddolt, do you have windows also? you can see what type of file system it is on windows... i dont know how you would check with ubuntu if its not recognized
[05:47] <benplaut> nickrud: okey dokey
[05:47] <nm> i'm off
[05:47] <ivo_> i can"t put any i just pres nter and i got this Sorry, try again.
[05:47] <ivo_> Password:
[05:48] <nm> sleep time
[05:48] <nm> later hardcores
[05:48] <nm> ;D
[05:48] <ivo_> enter
[05:48] <mshade> fojackedddolt, you can read ntfs under linux, but not write yet
[05:48] <mustard5> ivo_, its not freezing then...
[05:48] <fojackedddolt> omegaalpha: i just fragged windows because unbuntu has been working, but i forgot about my seccond HDD. is there any way i can format it?
[05:48] <nickrud> benplaut, argh, my info is old: fam wants to uninstall everything, you're right
[05:48] <mustard5> ivo_, I've tried to explain this a few times now....when you type your password in you won't see what you type in
[05:48] <nandemonai> ivo_, when u enter a password you WILL NOT see the output no matter what u type.. this is for security
[05:48] <fojackedddolt> mshade: all i want to do is read for now. i just cant find it anywhere
[05:49] <mshade> fojackedddolt, mkdir /media/drive2
[05:49] <mustard5> ivo_, do you understand what I am saying?
[05:49] <mshade> fojackedddolt, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /media/drive2
[05:49] <ivo_> No i can put the comand but when promit the possword i can't put te any text,numbers
[05:49] <ivo_> its like a freez
[05:49] <flodine> a guys can some help with 64 bit nvidia drivers need apt-get command
[05:49] <mustard5> ivo_, how do you know this?
[05:49] <mshade> ivo_, when you enter characters, you won't see them in the password field
[05:50] <wastrel> ivo_:  just type, it is invisible
[05:50] <mustard5> ivo_, are you saying that when you type..you don't see it on the screen?
[05:50] <benplaut> nickrud: k... seems it will be easier to bug the dev to support gamin :P
[05:50] <mshade> ivo_, just use your user's password
[05:50] <nickrud> benplaut, from your position, for sure
[05:50] <nandemonai> ivo_, what language to you speak natively?
[05:50] <benplaut> heh
[05:50] <mustard5> nandemonai, he's Latvian
[05:50] <gloin> greets, all
[05:51] <nandemonai> If only my uncle was here
[05:51] <mustard5> nandemonai, :)
[05:51] <ivo_> latvian
[05:51] <gloin> I've got an old aic7xxx card that's throwing panics when I try to boot the 5.1 cdrom.  Does anyone know of a param I can throw at the kernel that allows boot?
[05:51] <nickrud> ivo_, try typing it anyway, a password prompt will not repeat your keypresses
[05:51] <mustard5> ivo_, do you understand what I said to you?
[05:51] <gloin> it's apparently an issue that's been seen before
[05:51] <nandemonai> ill try and translate some instructions for you ivo_
[05:52] <mshade> gloin, try nohotplug
[05:52] <ivo_> whats be the comand of the nvida ?
[05:52] <gloin> mshade: thx, will try
[05:52] <mustard5> ivo_, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[05:52] <mustard5> ivo_, just type the password...  you can't see it......that is ok
[05:53] <fojackedddolt> mshade: i did what you told me to, but now it says i dont have the permission to view the directory,
[05:53] <sinaduel> can I use bitlord on Linux?
[05:53] <OmegaAlpha> fojackedddolt, use the sudo command
[05:54] <aberrant> anyone know the name of the application that shows wireless signal strength in the taskbar of Ubuntu?
[05:54] <mshade> fojackedddolt, ok that's good, that's the first step. it's mountable.  now do this:
[05:54] <mshade> fojackedddolt, sudo umount /media/drive2
[05:54] <gloin> mshade: no such kernel image
[05:54] <mshade> gloin, it's goign to be ubuntu nohotplug or linux nohotplug
[05:54] <mshade> gloin, append nohotplug to the image to boot
[05:54] <gloin> oh
[05:54] <gloin> right
[05:54] <gloin> heh
[05:55] <nandemonai> meh, no free translators that work properly..
[05:55] <Luke> aberrant: network monitor in the "add to panel" right click menu
[05:55] <nickrud> sinaduel, no. try bittorrent-gui, or bittornado-gui
[05:55] <mshade> fojackedddolt, then.. sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=0000 /dev/hdb1 /media/drive2
[05:55] <jjjjjjj> well i read up and d/l the vsftpd tar.gz file.... is the a cli command to extract it and install?
[05:55] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, i dont know if this is what you are looking for but you can see if you find one with gDesklets apps
[05:55] <ivo_> yeee
[05:55] <gloin> ergh
[05:55] <gloin> still panic
[05:55] <ivo_> its ok now
[05:55] <mshade> fojackedddolt, if that worked, you can add a line to /etc/fstab to have it mount everytime
[05:55] <ivo_> :)
[05:55] <mustard5> nandemonai, hopefully the penny will drop soon
[05:55] <jjjjjjj> like an apt-get command or ?
[05:55] <mustard5> ivo_, ok
[05:55] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, thanks..I'll try it
[05:55] <nandemonai> jjjjjjj, use sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[05:55] <mustard5> ivo_, well done
[05:55] <wastrel> aberrant:  it's the network monitor applet
[05:55] <ivo_> now i paste show u
[05:55] <nandemonai> jjjjjjj, never install from source unless you have to
[05:55] <mustard5> ivo_, k
[05:56] <mshade> fojackedddolt, that work?
[05:56] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, that was it, thanks...I was perplexed cuz it was removed in the breezy upgrade
[05:56] <ivo_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9102
[05:57] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, there is another network monitor there for the ethernet port...but I guess it needed to be added again
[05:57] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, glad i could help
[05:57] <mark_> I am back
[05:57] <jjjjjjj> when you say never install from source, do you mean like unzippinga tar file and extracting it somewhere?
[05:57] <wastrel> jjjjjjj:  yes
[05:57] <nickrud> jjjjjjj, yes, he does. Get the ubuntu version
[05:58] <mustard5> ivo_, ok ..now something still needs to be changed
[05:58] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, let me know if you find a good one... the ones i found so far were poor quality and buggy...
[05:58] <mark_> I have tried chown I have edited the fstab file neither worked
[05:58] <jjjjjjj> thanks everyone... time for more reading... if i have q: i'll be back.
[05:58] <wastrel> maybe you broke it when you chowned it
[05:58] <mark_> all I want to do is take off the restrictions on a partition
[05:58] <ivo_> i need logout?
[05:58] <nickrud> god, my hard drive is makeing some strange noises
[05:58] <mustard5> ivo_, do this command again and pastebin...wait
[05:58] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, right now i just use gkreallm till i find something decent
[05:58] <jjjjjjj> nuckrud... writing on the wall
[05:58] <mark_> no when I did chown it gave me an error and didn't do a thing
[05:59] <mustard5> ivo_, sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[05:59] <nickrud> OmegaAlpha, the netspeed applet works pretty well
[05:59] <wastrel> mark_:  after you updated the fstab entries did you unmount and remount the drives?
[05:59] <jjjjjjj> went to a lunix user group last night.  a google guy was a guest speaker and his first two words were "stuff breaks"
[05:59] <mustard5> ivo_, put the output in pastebin
[05:59] <nickrud> OmegaAlpha, it does take up some space on the task bar though
[05:59] <OmegaAlpha> nickrud, thanks ill look into that
[05:59] <CryoTox> I can't find GIMP's folder wtf? It says it's in my home directory but when I look it isn't
[05:59] <mark_> I restarted my computer ... does that count?
[05:59] <gloin> ergh
[05:59] <gloin> this freaking i2o card
[05:59] <mshade> CryoTox, could it be ~/.gimp
[05:59] <nickrud> CryoTox, it's ~/.gimp
[05:59] <OmegaAlpha> nickrud, its alright i dont really use the task bar at all
[05:59] <mshade> CryoTox, with a . in front
[06:00] <jjjjjjj> meaning software and hardware breaks.
[06:00] <CryoTox> It's not shown
[06:00] <mshade> which means 'hidden directory/file'
[06:00] <CryoTox> ahh
[06:00] <mshade> CryoTox, it won't be, it's hidden
[06:00] <CryoTox> And I veiw these how?
[06:00] <CryoTox> view*
[06:00] <nickrud> CryoTox, in a file manager window, hit ctl-h
[06:00] <OmegaAlpha> CryoTox, or ls -a
[06:00] <ivo_> ok look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9103 :)
[06:00] <mustard5> ivo_, k
[06:01] <mark_> I may not have edited it correctly ... I took out the defualt and added in "rw,exec,auto,user,sync"
[06:01] <CryoTox> thanks
[06:01] <mustard5> ivo_, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:01] <mustard5> ivo_, tell me when you have it open
[06:02] <ivo_> ok im open it
[06:02] <jasz> hello all
[06:02] <mustard5> ivo_, you see a whole lot of text?
[06:02] <ivo_> yes
[06:02] <mustard5> ivo_, go down and find the line that has  'nv' in it
[06:02] <jasz> i just installed ubuntu... and it never asked me to enter a password for root ...  i can't "su" ... is this normal?
[06:02] <Madeye> How can I check which application using port 5060 ?
[06:03] <mshade> jasz, you can use sudo in place of su
[06:03] <jasz> maddler, .. start by telnetting localhost 5060
[06:03] <ivo_> this Driver		"nv" ?
[06:03] <mshade> jasz, if you really need a root shell, you can sudo bash, or sudo passwd and set a rood passwd
[06:03] <mustard5> ivo_, it will say Driver          "nv"
[06:03] <mustard5> ivo_, yes thats it....
[06:03] <ivo_> :)
[06:03] <jasz> mshade, .. hmmmm... interesting...
[06:03] <mustard5> ivo_, change it to    'nvidia'
[06:03] <ivo_> where i chabge?
[06:03] <jasz> so far, i've liked it
[06:03] <ivo_> change
[06:03] <ivo_> "nv"
[06:03] <ivo_> ?
[06:03] <ejofee> so isn't there any video player which lets me decide from which position to which position to automatically play each film on a playlist?
[06:03] <jasz> i was a debian user...
[06:04] <jasz> (talking about the distro)
[06:04] <mustard5> ivo_, yes change the part that says 'nv'    to 'nvidia'
[06:04] <ivo_> "nv"="Nvidia"?
[06:04] <ivo_> ok
[06:04] <ivo_> ok i change
[06:04] <mustard5> ivo_, show me the whole line when you finish
[06:04] <jasz> mshade, .. so if i want to mount my ntfs partition...  should i "su" ? or "sudo" ?
[06:04] <ivo_> Driver		"nvidia"
[06:04] <mustard5> ivo_, don't use "   use  '
[06:04] <mustard5> ivo_, you know what I mean?
[06:05] <ivo_> nop
[06:05] <jasz> grrr
[06:05] <ejofee> ... or plugin?
[06:05] <mshade> jasz, you can sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=0000 /dev/hdXX /mnt/point
[06:05] <jasz> it asks me for a password..
[06:05] <OmegaAlpha> jasz, sudo
[06:05] <mustard5> ivo_, its  'nvidia'   not  "nvidia"
[06:05] <mshade> jasz, your user's password
[06:05] <jasz> ah.. that's true..
[06:05] <jasz> i'm not used to sudoing..
[06:05] <ivo_> Driver		'nvidia'
[06:05] <ivo_> this ?
[06:05] <mustard5> ivo_, yes
[06:05] <ivo_> :)
[06:05] <mustard5> ivo_, now save the file
[06:06] <ivo_> ok i save
[06:06] <aberrant> ejofee, vlc?
[06:06] <mustard5> ivo_, you didnt change anything else?
[06:06] <ivo_> nop
[06:06] <aberrant> ejofee, try vlc -h
[06:06] <jasz> sweet
[06:06] <ejofee> aberrant: really? gonna try it
[06:06] <aberrant> ejofee, or mplayer
[06:06] <mustard5> ivo_, ok.. so it should work then :)
[06:07] <jasz> how do i make my ntfs partitions load @ startup? should i just edit /etc/fstab ?
[06:07] <ivo_> i need type a comand ?
[06:07] <ivo_> :)
[06:07] <mshade> jasz, yep
[06:07] <mustard5> ivo_, write this command down on a peice of paper....
[06:07] <wastrel> trying to run bittorrent behind a NAT router - do i have to forward ports to the btclient host?
[06:07] <gloin> hey
[06:07] <mustard5> ivo_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:07] <ejofee> aberrant: could you tell me which flag(s) of console mplayer you're refering to?
[06:07] <gloin> where can I grab a dapper boot iso?
[06:07] <AMDXP> wastrel: yes
[06:07] <mshade> jasz, /dev/hdXX /mnt/point ntfs umask=0000,user,defaults,ro 0 0
[06:07] <mustard5> ivo_, if you have trouble you will need that command above to fix it
[06:07] <jjjjjjj> i cant' gedit the vsftpd.conf file
[06:07] <ejofee> aberrant: but does vlc also support subtitles?
[06:07] <mustard5> ivo_, don't use it now though
[06:07] <aberrant> ejofee, I dunno, I was just guessing.
[06:07] <wastrel> kk
[06:08] <aberrant> ejofee, yes..vlc duz suport subtitles..it plays everything
[06:08] <ivo_> Yes or no?
[06:08] <jjjjjjj> i right clicked it and said edit with text editor
[06:08] <mustard5> ivo_, no..don't type that command...write it on paper for emergency
[06:08] <gloin> hallo?
[06:08] <paulproteus> Breezy-CA: Eh?
[06:08] <mustard5> ivo_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:09] <ejofee> aberrant: then why isn't it as much talked about as mplayer or kaffeine?!
[06:09] <gloin> what I'm seeing is that my breezy boot cd isn't going to work, but that the problem should be fixed in dapper
[06:09] <gloin> so where's dapper?
[06:09] <mustard5> ivo_, its for fixing a problem if it does not work
[06:09] <aberrant> ejofee, dunno...vlc truly rocks
[06:09] <Breezy-CA> paulproteus - sometime back you walked me through backporting tetex3. (I think it was on Xmas Day.) Was extremely kind of you.
[06:09] <mark_> anyone know how to get it so that I don't have to use root to change stuff on a second partition?
[06:09] <ivo_>  ohh ok
[06:09] <jjjjjjj> well looking at the properties it is a root file... i'll try from cli
[06:09] <ivo_> im now login out and log in
[06:09] <aberrant> ejofee --key-jump+5min <integer>  Jump 5 minutes forward
[06:09] <ivo_> ok?
[06:09] <Breezy-CA> At any rate ... I'm having trouble getting grip to work. It says "No Disc" ... doesn't see the CD-ROM drive. Sound-juicer does, so it's not hardware ... configured grip to look at /dev/hdc but no joy ... anyone seen this before?
[06:09] <mustard5> ivo_, yes
[06:09] <paulproteus> Breezy-CA: Yeah, that's what I thought you might have been referring to. (-:
[06:09] <jjjjjjj> sudo gedit file ?
[06:09] <paulproteus> Breezy-CA: Glad to hear you're still around and caring. (-:
[06:10] <OmegaAlpha> !dapper
[06:10] <ubotu> from memory, dapper is the pre-release name for the next version of Ubuntu, the release will be called 6.04. It is due 20th April. It is software in development and as such may break.  join #ubuntu+1 to talk about it
[06:10] <Breezy-CA> :)
[06:10] <chadwick|359> ubotu:  You forgot that ir rocks
[06:10] <ejofee> aberrant: this is for mplayer; right?
[06:10] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, chadwick|359
[06:10] <jjjjjjj> yup  sudo gedit file
[06:10] <aberrant> ejofee, no..vlc
[06:10] <ejofee> aberrant: thank you
[06:11] <ejofee> aberrant: i was hoping it also had a gui
[06:11] <ejofee> (vlc)
[06:11] <aberrant> ejofee, it does!
[06:11] <aberrant> ejofee, its command line and gui
[06:11] <ejofee> aberrant: cool! thanks a lot for you help.
[06:11] <mark_> anyone know how to change permissions on a partioned hd?
[06:11] <aberrant> ejofee, noprob
[06:11] <jasz> hm
[06:11] <aberrant> mark_, have you mounted the drive?
[06:12] <mark_> yep
[06:12] <jasz> rhythmbox is not allowing me to play mp3's ...
[06:12] <aberrant> mark_, su chmod
[06:12] <jasz> just wav's ...
[06:12] <nandemonai> My prob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=759499#post759499 Any help would be most appreciated ;)
[06:12] <mark_> chmod will not work it says I don't have permissions to do that
[06:12] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, whats the difference b/t 'su' and 'sudo'?
[06:12] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, oops..sudo
[06:13] <nandemonai> mark_, dont forget sudo
[06:13] <mark_> I have also tried to edit the fstab but I guess I haven't done it successfuly
[06:13] <jasz> is there any problem i should know about ubuntu & mp3's ?
[06:13] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, hehe i was like damn i need to read more! ;)
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> !mp3
[06:13] <ubotu> rumour has it, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[06:13] <jasz> geez
[06:13] <Breezy-CA> jasz - shouldn't be ...
[06:13] <mark_> yeah I did "sudo chmod upg+rwx /media/sda4/music"
[06:13] <aberrant> mark_, is the drive mounted read only?
[06:13] <RichART1> still going like the energizer bunney in here ey?
[06:13] <RichART1> lol
[06:13] <Breezy-CA> rhythmbox working fine here  ...
[06:13] <nandemonai> jasz, sudo apt-get install gstreamer-plugins0.8
[06:14] <aberrant> can you "touch /media/sda4/music/a.a"?
[06:14] <mark_> what does touch do?
[06:14] <OmegaAlpha> anyone ever check out the happyhacker.org website?
[06:14] <aberrant> mark_, can you "sudo touch /media/sda4/music/a.a"?
[06:14] <aberrant> mark_, just to see if you can write a file
[06:14] <aberrant> if the filsesystem is read only
[06:14] <aberrant> touch creates an empty file
[06:16] <julian_> hello everyone
[06:16] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, what is the significanse of creating empty files? i just learned of the touch command last night from happyhacker.org.. ihad no idea what its purpose was
[06:16] <julian_> is there possibly any way to run Ubuntu on an intel mac?
[06:16] <OmegaAlpha> they have a step by step to get faimliar with how linux works.. sadly their step by step didnt work with my shell...
[06:16] <mark_> I can do that but I don't know what it did ...
[06:16] <Dasnipa`> touch updates the timestamp on files without making any changes
[06:16] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, touch will also update the modfication date of a file...that can be useful
[06:16] <jasz> nandemonai, ... the package is not available but is referred to by another package... bla bla bla..
[06:16] <mark_> now there is a file called a.a in the folder
[06:17] <aberrant> mark_, now "ls /media/sda4/music/a.a"
[06:17] <aberrant> mark_, is it there?
[06:17] <mark_> yeah ...
[06:17] <mark_> but I tried deleting it and it said I don't have permission to do so
[06:17] <julian_> or any variety of linux for that matter
[06:17] <OmegaAlpha> mark sudo
[06:17] <OmegaAlpha> sudo is your new best friend
[06:17] <ELpH95o> hiii
[06:18] <nandemonai> jasz, hmm sudo apt-cache search gstreamer-plugins it should show.. I can't remember the name quite right.. essentially it will install all the gstreamer plugins.. one being mp3... you could hunt down the mp3 one by itself if you just wanted that
[06:18] <aberrant> mark_, are you prefacing the commands with "sudo?
[06:18] <Breezy-CA> OmegaAlpha - the purpose of touch isn't to create an empty file; but in this case that's useful for showing whether drive is mounted r/w or r/o
[06:18] <jacquesmerde> woohoo, i got my usb midi keyboard pumping out music through my onboard wavetable. all on dapper. can anyone recommend some software to fool around with?
[06:18] <waxbolt> yo... i'm running a cd-install on an old gateway solo.  i keep getting a "critical temperature" error... how can i disable the acpi interface?
[06:18] <ELpH95o> jacques:yuou use linux for midi too?
[06:18] <mark_> ok I deleted it
[06:18] <nandemonai> jasz, actually u made need to enable multiverse or universe in sources.lists I cant remember.. I'd check but I have apt probs...
[06:19] <nandemonai> *cough* http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=759499#post759499
[06:19] <ELpH95o> have you tried rosegarden?
[06:19] <aberrant> mark_, if the fielsystem is writeable...."sudo chmod" ota do the trick
[06:19] <Breezy-CA> jasz - I think it's gstreamer0.8-misc
[06:19] <jacquesmerde> ELpH95o: this is the closest ive come to pulling it off. you?
[06:19] <julian_> ok byebye
[06:19] <aberrant> mark_, or sudo chown
[06:19] <Dasnipa`> anyone have an rss agregator suggestion on the repository other than akregator... that uses way too much ram
[06:19] <ELpH95o> i mostlyu se cheesetracker
[06:19] <OmegaAlpha> Breezy-CA, thanks for the info.  is it a frequently use command?
[06:19] <ELpH95o> i've not been able to get rosegarden to properly work yet
[06:19] <waxbolt> i'm running a cd-install on an old gateway solo.  i keep getting a "critical temperature" error... how can i disable the acpi interface?
[06:19] <ELpH95o> i'm trying to compile it from sources now
[06:20] <mark_> so is "sudo chown mark /media/sda4/music" what I type?
[06:20] <jasz> Breezy-CA, .. already installed hmm...
[06:20] <aberrant> mark_, for example..yes...if the user you want to own those files is "mark"
[06:20] <jasz> i guess i need to check a non-free repos perhaps?
[06:20] <aberrant> mark_, type 'whoami'
[06:20] <Breezy-CA> OmegaAlpha - not freq used by me, but I'd defer to anyone ... I remember using it to make sure that all files within a given directory carried same datestamp for some reason ...
[06:20] <jacquesmerde> jacquesmerde: i'm currently using nothing but asfxload and aconnect to make midi sounds. whats cheesetracker?
[06:21] <jacquesmerde> i just want a very basic sequencer
[06:21] <nandemonai> jasz, gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse - All Multiverse GStreamer plugins
[06:21] <Breezy-CA> jasz - I think it's gstreamer0.8-mad - my error earlier "-mad" is the support for mp3
[06:21] <ELpH95o> rosegarden is similar to cubase in a way
[06:21] <OmegaAlpha> Breezy-CA, maybe to make sure that they werent altered by a user or a module?
[06:21] <mark_> chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda4/music': Operation not permitted
[06:21] <ELpH95o> in some ways its not
[06:21] <mark_> thas what I get
[06:21] <aberrant> mark_, you can also change all the files in one command..."sudo find /media/sda4/music -name \*.\* -exec chown mark {} \; "
[06:21] <ELpH95o> jacquesmerde, :have you got jack to work properly?
[06:22] <mebaran151> is eclipse apt-gettable yet?
[06:22] <benplaut> is there a way to fool a program (source) into using gamin instead of fam? some simple symlink that would make my troubles come to an end? =P
[06:22] <jacquesmerde> ELpH95o:  i havent touched jack
[06:22] <aberrant> mark_, wierd...i am perplexed...what filesystem is it ? ext3?
[06:22] <OmegaAlpha> mebaran151, whats eclipse?
[06:22] <ELpH95o> i'd recco9mend trying to get it to work.one of my friends has it working wonderfully in the live cd of ubuntu
[06:22] <ELpH95o> he uses it live too
[06:22] <mebaran151> OmegaAlpha: it's a ide for java
[06:22] <jacquesmerde> what DOES jack actually do?
[06:23] <mebaran151> jacquesmerde: it's like ALSA but with adrenaline and insecurity and incompatibility
[06:23] <mebaran151> I think it also does mixing like dmix, but better
[06:23] <ELpH95o> it does mixing with different programs
[06:23] <mark_> oh I never thought of that its a vfat
[06:23] <ELpH95o> i haven't figured it out maybe because Idon't have enough THC
[06:23] <fojackedddolt> i mounted my seccond hard drive, but now it says "i dont have the proper permissions"
[06:23] <mark_> but should that make a difference?
[06:24] <mark_> because if I log in as root then I can make changes no problem
[06:24] <nandemonai> ahh
[06:24] <aberrant> mark_, possibly..I'm wondering if its a FAT volume...what is the disk? where did it come from?
[06:24] <nandemonai> mark_, when u mount it try -o umask=000
[06:24] <ELpH95o> once there are audio sequencing programs for linux that'smusician friendly microsoft is dead hehe
[06:24] <jasz> hm
[06:25] <jacquesmerde> ELpH95o: do you use soundfonts?
[06:25] <aberrant> mark_, you can chown logged in as root but not with sudo?  that's odd
[06:25] <ELpH95o> not yet jacquesmerde
[06:25] <wastrel> my cat is snoring
[06:25] <jasz> does xmms suck now? .. how come it doesnt come standard in ubuntu? i used it a lot back when i had debian...
[06:25] <zphinx> is there any apt commando to force a remove.. even if it cant find directorys etc?
[06:25] <jacquesmerde> ELpH95o: ah, do you know where i can dload some anyway?
[06:25] <zphinx> having problems with gforge-postgresql
[06:25] <mark_> I have my 1 hard drive partitioned with a swap, linux, windows, and storage
[06:25] <ELpH95o> i wish i knew jacquesmerde ..i used to have alot of soundfonts
[06:25] <aberrant> wastrel, http://english.people.com.cn/200602/17/eng20060217_243641.html
[06:25] <ELpH95o> when i used fruity loops
[06:25] <fojackedddolt> rosegarden?
[06:26] <nandemonai> mark_, mount -t vfat -o umask-000 /dev/foo /mnt/foo
[06:26] <fojackedddolt> isnt that free linux?
[06:26] <zphinx> every time i run apt-get now it tries to configure it and runs into the same problem
[06:26] <aberrant> mark_, is the paritition in question windows?
[06:26] <nemesis_> #gaymonterrey
[06:26] <jacquesmerde> i just want a basic midi sequencer with an intelligent score interface
[06:26] <fojackedddolt> google rose garden, i think its a free sequencer for linux, im pretty sure
[06:26] <nandemonai> mark_, mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/foo /mnt/foo rather
[06:26] <jason_finn> hi
[06:26] <jacquesmerde> rosegarden require.....kde! *shudders snobbishly*
[06:26] <mark_> "only root can do that"
[06:27] <nandemonai> ewww kde
[06:27] <nandemonai> sudo
[06:27] <nandemonai> or as root
[06:27] <aberrant> mark_, prefacing commands with sudo will execute that as the superuser/root
[06:27] <nandemonai> then u should be ok for user access
[06:27] <hatake_kakashi> is there a possibility to see which processes is using alot of mem/swap rather than top?
[06:27] <mark_> "mount: mount point mtn/foo does not exist
[06:27] <mark_> "
[06:27] <zphinx> anyone?
[06:27] <mustard5> :)
[06:28] <Breezy-CA> mark - sudo <command> tells the command <command> -- whatever it is -- to be executed as if you were root
[06:28] <mustard5> mark_, they were examples :)
[06:28] <fojackedddolt> need help: I mounted my seccond hard drive, but when i try and open it, it says "folder contents cannot be displayed" 'you do not have necessary permissions to view "drive2"'
[06:28] <wastrel> poor cat
[06:28] <OmegaAlpha> mark_, try foo man choo hehe just kidding
[06:28] <aberrant> wastrel, doncha think that cat is happy tho?
[06:28] <hatake_kakashi> fojackedddolt: paste your mount onto pastebin website
[06:28] <mark_> ... so put sda4 instead of foo?
[06:28] <aberrant> wastrel, he sure looks cute
[06:29] <waxbolt> cough cough
[06:29] <mustard5> mark_, where is sda4 mounted?  what folder?
[06:29] <hatake_kakashi> mark_: everyone's computer setup is different, so you are to put whatever 'foo' is there supposed for you
[06:29] <nandemonai> yes mark_  whatever you drive and mount point is
[06:29] <wastrel> aberrant:  i wonder if he can walk
[06:29] <aberrant> mark_, sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda4 /media/sda4
[06:29] <aberrant> mark_, but unmount it first
[06:29] <waxbolt> how do i disable acpi on a ubuntu install from cd??????
[06:29] <ELpH95o> anyone tried compiling a low latency kernel before?
[06:29] <jasz> ok.. now i can play mp3's.. now lets see how do i play wma and aac and m4p
[06:29] <mark_> sda4 is the partition I want to mount
[06:29] <jasz> :P
[06:29] <nandemonai> ie mine would be sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/hda4 /mnt/winblowz
[06:29] <wastrel> aberrant:  do you read the people's daily often?
[06:30] <aberrant> aberrant, he has trouble...but dont we all after a while
[06:30] <mustard5> waxbolt, I think you start it with apci=no....hit the function keys for the special parameters listing
[06:30] <aberrant> wastrel, no..I just happened to hear about a certain snoring cat..
[06:30] <mark_> fstab list "/dev/sda4  media/sda4  defaults 0   0 "
[06:30] <nandemonai> well theres a problem right there..
[06:30] <mustard5> waxbolt, they are all listed in on the the function keys anyway
[06:30] <nandemonai> should be /media/sda1
[06:30] <jasz> i have some movies in the .ogm format.. but totem cannot play them... why could this be happening? ...
[06:31] <nandemonai> and u want rw in three too for read / write
[06:31] <aberrant> jasz does vlc?
[06:31] <OmegaAlpha> what programming language is ubuntu written in?
[06:31] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, all of them
[06:31] <wastrel> heh
[06:31] <waxbolt> mustard5, thanks.  maybe we should tell http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75227.html
[06:31] <jasz> aberrant, ... havent tried vlc.. lemme see..
[06:31] <mustard5> OmegaAlpha, various
[06:31] <nandemonai> mark_, unmount, mount as I told you.. test.. if works sudo cat /etc/mtab then copy line refering to drive u just mounted into /etc/fstab
[06:31] <OmegaAlpha> aberrant, how universal. seems too good to be true
[06:32] <OmegaAlpha> must be some crazy compiling
[06:32] <hatake_kakashi> OmegaAlpha: the kernel for example is composed of C/C++ :P
[06:32] <hatake_kakashi> err ASM/C
[06:32] <aberrant> OmegaAlpha, most operating systems are made of bits and pieces coded and compiled from various langs...and perl/python are universal glue
[06:32] <OmegaAlpha> hatake_kakashi, thats my language.. the only one i know.. besides BASIC :(
[06:32] <jasz> i dont want to work tomorrow :(
[06:32] <rewt_> In aMule, what does the sources thing mean? Like whats 18(2) mean?
[06:32] <OmegaAlpha> ahh so thats why python comes default with FLUXBOX...
[06:32] <hatake_kakashi> is there a possibility to see which processes is using alot of mem/swap rather than top?
[06:33] <mustard5> waxbolt, I think turning of apci on a laptop is not a good option, as it effects the battery life
[06:33] <mark_> ok I unmounted it now what do you want me to do?
[06:33] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, if you're really big into programming, buy Assembly Language Step by Step Second Edition, it will give you marvolous insight, even if you never plan on programming in Assembly
[06:33] <nandemonai> hatake_kakashi, htop is nice
[06:33] <mustard5> waxbolt, or so I hear :)
[06:33] <hatake_kakashi> nandemonai: thanks, will give that a shot
[06:33] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, personally, it was the best 60 dollars I've ever spent
[06:33] <Discipulus> Well, one of the best 60 dollars I've ever spent :-P
[06:33] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulous... i dont like buying stuff haha
[06:33] <rewt_> Whats 18(2) mean in aMule under sources?
[06:33] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, you spelled my name wrong
[06:34] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, and there's nothing wrong with buying things
[06:34] <waxbolt> mustard5, well, if ubuntu has a buggy acpi interface, then it might be better than those random reboots and hundreds of megs of "critical temperature reached" warnings that syslogng will spit out
[06:34] <jasz> ah.. vlc plays it perfect :)
[06:34] <waxbolt> mustard5, especially if the laptop has no battery to speak of
[06:34] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, of course there isnt.. we wouldnt have an economy if we didnt.. i just like doing with what i have. or what i can get for free... P2P might have it..
[06:34] <aberrant> mark_, sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda4 /media/sda4
[06:35] <fojackedddolt> help please: i just installed, and when i try and change permissions it says i am not the owner, and cant change them. but... i am the owner, and there are not other accounts
[06:35] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, im not really into programming.. i was considering getting back into it.. but its been a long time...
[06:35] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, Hmm, I've yet to buy a book I regret buying :-P
[06:35] <aberrant> mark_, assuming the device is /dev/sda4 and the mount point is /media/sda4
[06:35] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, well, I was trying to learn C, but I decided it was too confusing with all the pointers and everything
[06:35] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, after working with assembly for a few months it all clicked though
[06:35] <hatake_kakashi> nandemonai: problem solved :) it was bloody gam_server -_-
[06:35] <GigaClon> fojackedddolt, what are you trying to change/
[06:36] <aberrant> mark_, the -t vfat means "its a windows partition" ...if its not windows...it wont work...
[06:36] <wastrel> Discipulus:  there was a good introductory programming book linked from digg the other day , using python
[06:36] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, is assembly easier than C? i already learned C and C++...
[06:36] <wastrel> lol
[06:36] <mustard5> aberrant, you could also try  -o user,uid=1000,gid=1000
[06:36] <mark_> ok done
[06:36] <hatake_kakashi> fojackedddolt: check whos the owner of that file via ls -al foo
[06:36] <fojackedddolt> gigaclon: read wright permissions on a hard disk
[06:36] <aberrant> mark_, now trying tweeking files
[06:36] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, Assembly is THE programming language
[06:36] <zphinx> So does anyon know how to deinstall a package even tho it cant find conf files?
[06:36] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, C gets compiled into assembly and then assembly gets assembled into an executable
[06:37] <wastrel> OmegaAlpha:  C was created so people wouldn't have to program in assembly anymore
[06:37] <hatake_kakashi> C is the result of B
[06:37] <aberrant> assembly is a bitch to code and debug tho
[06:37] <hatake_kakashi> and assembly is arch specific
[06:37] <GigaClon> fojackedddolt, well that would be owned by the system
[06:37] <OmegaAlpha> wastrel, whats wrong with assembly that ppl didnt want to program in it anymore?
[06:37] <zphinx> dpkg keeps getting stuck at the same point of uninstalling gforge-postgresql
[06:37] <mark_> it is letting me do it now ... so how do I keep it that way?
[06:37] <Discipulus> but if you want to be a better C programmer, it's good to have at least a little bit of assembly knowledge
[06:37] <kurt> hello all.  I'm having some trouble seting a route.  I keep getting an error stating that the "Network is unreachable".  Any takers?
[06:37] <wastrel> OmegaAlpha:  it's difficult and tedious
[06:37] <jasz> i'm off
[06:37] <nandemonai> I have enough trouble with php O_o
[06:37] <jon__> has anyone here configured dual-head on a laptop w/ubuntu?
[06:37] <aberrant> mark_, put flags in your fstab file
[06:37] <GigaClon> OmegaAlpha, Assembly is one step above coding in binary
[06:37] <wastrel> kurt:  is your network card plugged in?  :]
[06:38] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, and you have trouble learning C but learn Assembly ??
[06:38] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, it was the book that I selected
[06:38] <mark_> flags?
[06:38] <jasz> thanks to all that helped :)
[06:38] <ELpH95o> linux multimedia studio is a good music app too
[06:38] <aberrant> mark_, I gota go...gudluck...."man mount"
[06:38] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, it was meant for those who have minor programming experience but wishing to learn assembly
[06:38] <OmegaAlpha> see i thought once i made programs into C the compiler turned C into Binary.. i didnt know it turned it into assembly..
[06:38] <jon__> or knows if ubuntu has an app for configuring X
[06:38] <kurt> wastrel: it is.  route is for a network segment that is not on the local network segment.  I'm trying to set the gateway to use.
[06:38] <nandemonai> only html xhtml xml php css and javascript / flash here... guess what I do? ;)
[06:38] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, like I said, it is one of the best 60 dollars I've ever spent
[06:38] <mustard5> mark_, you would need to edit your /etc/fstab entry to mount at startup
[06:38] <wastrel> kurt:  default gw?
[06:39] <GigaClon> fojackedddolt, if you want to make a disk read-only add "ro" to the options in fstab
[06:39] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, do you program for a living or just a hobby?
[06:39] <_RocH> ubuntu is a one huge biatch (in means of OS) :)
[06:39] <Mabus06> My ubuntu installation failed, during the second part, after the computer reboots after ejecting the cd, and starts to install the packages. I don't get to gnome, I just get a teletype to login with. For starters, like maybe to install whatever it is that I'm missing, how do I enable ath0 from terminal/tty?
[06:39] <mark_> ok I can edit the fstab but what do I need to do to it?
[06:39] <ELpH95o> jacquesmerde, :want me to ask my friend what he reccomends?
[06:39] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, neither, just another tool in my belt that I rarely use
[06:39] <mustard5> mark_, one second..
[06:39] <fojackedddolt> its not mounted under f-stab
[06:39] <hatake_kakashi> mark_: make sure it is set somewhat similar to how you have defined the mount
[06:39] <nandemonai> mark_, assuming your mount is now working properly and mounted... sudo cat /etc/mtab
[06:39] <kurt> sys (<IP_ADDRESS>) --> default gw (<IP_ADDRESS>)  rying to set a route for <IP_ADDRESS> net to route through <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:40] <nandemonai> mark_, see the line refering to the drive you just mounted? copy it into /etc/fstab
[06:40] <hatake_kakashi> kurt: route add default gw <gw IP address>
[06:40] <wastrel> route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/24 gw <IP_ADDRESS>  ?
[06:40] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, yeah thats what happened to my programming... got bored and sometimes frustrated with making computer programs.. takes a while just to make simple games like hangman...
[06:40] <mark_> /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 vfat rw,umask=000 0 0
[06:40] <nandemonai> mark_, thats the one
[06:40] <mark_> put that in on that line?
[06:40] <kurt> hatake_kakashi: I already have a default gw
[06:40] <mustard5> mark_,  /dev/sda4    /media/sda4 vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0
[06:40] <mark_> nice ... thanks very much
[06:40] <mustard5>      assuming I have your device and mount point correct
[06:40] <nandemonai> np
[06:40] <zphinx> Anyone? how do i force a deinstall in dpkg?
[06:40] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, for me programming is fun, but it's a lack of ideas or projects that aren't already out there that frustrates me
[06:41] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, if there's an idea, there's already a project for it
[06:41] <mark_> I need the iocharset=utf8?
[06:41] <zphinx> cause --force isnt cutting it
[06:41] <nandemonai> naa should be ok
[06:41] <mustard5> mark_, I believe so
[06:41] <OmegaAlpha> I was hoping getting into linux will open up more doors for me... maybe refresh my programming background or start up a new hobby.. or even help me get a better job
[06:41] <mark_> ok
[06:41] <kurt> wastrel: see my last msg?
[06:41] <Mabus06> My ubuntu installation failed, during the second part, after the computer reboots after ejecting the cd, and starts to install the packages. I don't get to gnome, I just get a teletype to login with. For starters, like maybe to install whatever it is that I'm missing, how do I enable or activate, whatever it is that you have to do in the graphical equivalent of iwconfig in gnome, for ath0 from terminal/tty?
[06:41] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, yeah i would think you summed that up pretty well.
[06:42] <mark_> thanks a lot mustard5
[06:42] <mompirri> hello,  i was trying to fix a problem in my firefox... it had a gray box at the bottom with something that looked like some javascript code (window id=main-window). uninstalling and reiinstalling didn't fix it. so y deleted everything in /usr/lib/mozilla and tried reinstalling it. But this doesn't work either. Any ideas?
[06:42] <wastrel> kurt    route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/24 gw <IP_ADDRESS>  maybe?
[06:42] <Inf3ctedFx> Hello everyone
[06:42] <ELpH95o> hello Inf3ctedFx
[06:42] <nandemonai> If anyone can help me with a dpkg / apt problem I would really appreciate it... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134473
[06:42] <mustard5> mark_, tell me if it works :)
[06:42] <Inf3ctedFx> does anyone remember the command to run on console to setup the network?
[06:42] <kurt> wastrel: that is the command i used.  generated message that the network is unreachable.
[06:42] <mustard5> mark_, its pretty standard line for a vfat partition..so it should be fine
[06:42] <Mabus06> Inf3ctedFx: network-admin ?
[06:43] <Inf3ctedFx> there was something like netconfig... I dont really remember
[06:43] <wastrel> kurt:  that was the output of the route command?
[06:43] <mustard5> Mabus06, I'm wondering whether you can just continue the install from CD
[06:43] <OmegaAlpha> it would be neat to have a program that would operate everything in a house... of course everything would have to be hooked up to your computer somehow...
[06:43] <kurt> SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[06:43] <mustard5> Mabus06, it didnt drop out with an error at all?
[06:44] <Inf3ctedFx> cus ths is my problem.. mi laptop has built in wireless card and also the eth0   but I want to leave the wireless by default
[06:44] <Mabus06> mustard5: it might have, but I left the installation going by itself during the phase I described.
[06:44] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, they already have that too
[06:44] <Inf3ctedFx> so I want to run the netconfig command again
[06:44] <Mabus06> mustard5: when I came back, it said there was an error installing a certain package. then I ended up in a teletype
[06:44] <OmegaAlpha> instead of a damn crazy alarm going off in your ear from an alarm clock.. your computer turns on the lights. music.. and gets the coffee going
[06:44] <mustard5> Mabus06, k.. you could try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:44] <hpcd> hello
[06:44] <mark_> looks to be working fine
[06:45] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, not where i live they dont maybe in BillGatesLand.
[06:45] <MAB> Back :)
[06:45] <Mabus06> mustard5: but I have to have the internet to do that, don't I?
[06:45] <MAB> where do I enter the command for wine?
[06:45] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, x10.com
[06:45] <mustard5> Mabus06, it should look for the install CD
[06:45] <hpcd> anyone familiar with the command 855resolution
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> wine /path/to/whatver.exe
[06:46] <mustard5> Mabus06, It might have even asked you to do an apt-get -f install
[06:46] <mompirri> hello,  i was trying to fix a problem in my firefox... it had a gray box at the bottom with something that looked like some javascript code (window id=main-window). uninstalling and reiinstalling didn't fix it. so y deleted everything in /usr/lib/mozilla and tried reinstalling it. But this doesn't work either. Any ideas?
[06:46] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, thanks!  looking at the site now
[06:46] <Discipulus> lol
[06:46] <hpcd> where do i stick the line of code..... 855resolution 5a 1280 800 so my computer's screen size will be changed to that every time it starts up
[06:46] <Discipulus> x10 is a really slow protocol though
[06:46] <Discipulus> but it's been around for ages
[06:46] <MAB> Dr. ? I can not figure out where I am to even enter the command winecfg to bring up wine :( Where does that command get typed into? Terminal?
[06:46] <Discipulus> No company can seem to shake x10's grip on the home automation market
[06:46] <whyami> I run an athlon64 and I am wondering if I update the kernel for 64 bit if it will effect any of the libraries or break anything?
[06:47] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, also, comp.home.automation if you subscribe to Usenet groups
[06:47] <OmegaAlpha> hmm sounds like an investment idea...
[06:47] <mustard5> Mabus06, depends what part of the installation it dropped out on I suppose
[06:47] <wastrel> kurt:  of course you can ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[06:47] <Discipulus> lol indeed
[06:47] <thoreauputic> nandemonai: odd errors ... I don't think it has anything to do withthe fonts error you are getting mailed from root though
[06:47] <Discipulus> anyway, I must be off to bed
[06:47] <Discipulus> g'night all
[06:47] <kurt> wastrel: no problems pinging at all
[06:47] <OmegaAlpha> night Discipulus thanks for the info
[06:47] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, any time man
[06:47] <jjjjjjj> how do i renew my ip in linux?  nothing in man ifconfig that i could see
[06:48] <fojackedddolt> help: I can see files of my second hard drive in the terminal, but not under the file browser... sorry, im really new
[06:48] <nandemonai> thoreauputic, Yeah me either... I really dont want to have to reinstall unless I have to
[06:48] <Discipulus> OmegaAlpha, I can be found here 24/7 (although not always active :-P)
[06:48] <Breezy-CA> kurt - you can ping both sides of your def gateway? .1 *and* .2 ?
[06:48] <chadwick|359> jjjjjjj: sudo dhclient eth(whatever)
[06:48] <OmegaAlpha> Discipulus, same here heh.. i jsut sit here and read everything...
[06:48] <jjjjjjj> thanks chad
[06:48] <zphinx> _anyone_?
[06:48] <thoreauputic> nandemonai: have you tried googling the dpkg error? You never know...
[06:48] <whyami> jjjjjjj: I usually just do sudo ifdown eth0 then sudo ifup eth0. That's assuming your network card is eth0
[06:48] <kurt> Breezy-CA: yes.
[06:48] <nandemonai> true true..
[06:48] <aridese> hi guys
[06:48] <zphinx> damn gforge-postgresql  is messing up my dpkg
[06:48] <zphinx> not deinstalling
[06:48] <Breezy-CA> kurt - is .2 connected to the Internet? or to what?
[06:49] <aridese> my ipod isnt detected when it's plugged in...
[06:49] <aridese> even though my firewire port is seen by the device manager
[06:49] <jjjjjjj> router > voipbox > me..... i plugged into the router to test the ftp but could not renew so had to reboot.  ;(
[06:49] <kurt> p2p t1 connection to a remote office
[06:49] <mustard5> Mabus06, do you remember if you told it to look to install stuff from online sources?
[06:49] <kurt> Breezy-CA:  p2p t1 connection to a remote office
[06:49] <thoreauputic> nandemonai: even sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a  fails?
[06:49] <nandemonai> thoreauputic, yes it does
[06:49] <nandemonai> oh hang on.. reconf.. hmm I'll try
[06:49] <Breezy-CA> kurt - the remote office's interface is 10.x.y.z?
[06:49] <thoreauputic> nandemonai: have you tried   sudo apt-get -f install ?
[06:50] <kurt> Breezy-CA: close 10.0.1.x
[06:50] <Zoroaster> what is a good site for streaming radio, that Ubuntu will play
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> Zoroaster,  shoutcast.com
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> i use xmms and go there a lot.
[06:50] <fojackedddolt> Why can't i see my files when i look in the file browser. i can only see them in the terminal
[06:50] <whyami> Zoroaster: ubuntu will player any streaming radio I can find with xmms
[06:50] <oatis> Hi, during the the process of an 'apt-get install mysql-server' I accidently put a "." at the end of my hostname when the mysql configuration window comes up and now the installation process is crashing, how can I completely removfe that package or re-run the configuration window?
[06:50] <kevo_tool> When I try to add a table with 'mysql-query-browser' I receive ** (mysql-query-browser:11547): WARNING **: requested widget 'charset_combo' with the wrong type
[06:50] <nandemonai> thoreauputic, yes tried apt-get install -f but this reconf seems to be going through, one moment
[06:51] <thoreauputic> Zoroaster: install  " streamtuner" and "streamripper" - that should give you some leads :)
[06:51] <OmegaAlpha> does VOIP allow you to call telephoen numbers or is that just an IP thing?
[06:51] <Breezy-CA> kurt - is the network link between you and the remote office on 176 or on 10 ?
[06:51] <kevo_tool> Does anyone know how to remedy this?
[06:51] <aridese> is there any way to see what raw devices are connected?
[06:51] <aridese> my ipod isnt being detected
[06:51] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: dmesg| tail
[06:51] <thoreauputic> nandemonai: note that sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a will ask you to create a root passwd
[06:51] <Breezy-CA> kurt - sorry on 172 not 176
[06:51] <Zoroaster> thanks for the help
[06:51] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, nothing... nothing changes
[06:51] <dim> hi, can anyone tell me if there is a way to allow vsftpd users to login using the "@"
[06:51] <nandemonai> thoreauputic, okies thats ok
[06:52] <kurt> Breezy-CA: route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/24 gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth1 is the exact command
[06:52] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:52] <wastrel> kurt:  do you have to go thru the default gw to reach  <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[06:52] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: no, that shows you the kernel message ring buffer, check to see if you can see anything related to ipod being detected
[06:52] <kurt> wastrel: no I don't
[06:52] <Nunquam_Fidelis> Is there a way I can completely move a package and its settings via apt? Something is wrong with my Xfce4, I messed it up some how, I tried removing and re-installing, but it saves my settings. Any help would be appreciated.
[06:52] <Nunquam_Fidelis> move = remove*
[06:52] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, nothing about the ipod
[06:53] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: sudo apt-get remove --purge xfce4
[06:53] <wastrel> so your host is on the 172.16.100/24 net?
[06:53] <Nunquam_Fidelis> thoreauputic: ty, will try that
[06:53] <Breezy-CA> kurt - in other words, it looks like this? <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -- <IP_ADDRESS>/24 <--  T1 -- > <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -- <IP_ADDRESS>/24 ?
[06:53] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: then try a reinstall
[06:53] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: anything different on the iPod's screen?
[06:53] <fangorious> how do I shrink an LVM volume group? I have 10 GB unallocated in one and I want to free it for a regular partition
[06:53] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, no
[06:54] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: try plugging into another port
[06:54] <Breezy-CA> wastrel - don't you leave, now ... i can only think in company :)
[06:54] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, same thing happens
[06:54] <Breezy-CA> just trying to visualize which net each box is on ...
[06:54] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: hmm, something could be wrong with your USB ports, is there anything that has been detected through those?
[06:55] <OmegaAlpha> damn australia just broke a record in the olmypics for that freestyle ski jump event
[06:55] <hatake_kakashi> OmegaAlpha: *yawns* so?
[06:55] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, well, im trying to connect through firewire -- the ipod is detected via USB (but it doesnt charge.. so it dies in 5 minutes)
[06:55] <kurt> Breezy-CA: wastrel: I'll try to describe this a little better.  System in question has two nics, one connected to the private lan on the <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network.  Other nic is on internet with default gw set to internet firewall.  <IP_ADDRESS>/24 is at a remote site connected with p2p t1.  local side is set to ip <IP_ADDRESS> and remote side is <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:55] <OmegaAlpha> hatake_kakashi, breakign records is something that doesnt happen in every olmpics
[06:55] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, nothing happened, really, firewire worked a few weeks ago... stopped orking now
[06:56] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: you may need to check on whats up with the firewire module methinks
[06:56] <hatake_kakashi> OmegaAlpha: heh.. records are meant to be broken :)
[06:56] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, how would i go about doing that?
[06:56] <thoreauputic> heh - Olympics >>> #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:57] <OmegaAlpha> hatake_kakashi, yeah but rarely happens.. always one great not two...
[06:57] <Matyas_za> Good morning
[06:57] <jjjjjjj> where is my vsftpd default folder ?  tia
[06:57] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: I assume lsmod and looking through for firewire module, something like ieee1394 ? or something
[06:57] <mustard5> Matyas_za, greetings :)
[06:57] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, ok, will try -- thanks
[06:57] <jjjjjjj> for uploading downloading
[06:57] <hatake_kakashi> OmegaAlpha: then again, its not like as if its ever not going to be broken :)
[06:57] <wastrel> kurt:  so the NIC on your LAN is <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[06:57] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: np
[06:58] <fangorious> jjjjjjj: run 'dpkg -L vsftpd' to list all the files it installed. you can either guess from the list, or read the conf file
[06:58] <Matyas_za> I wanna throw myself into installing LDAP today Is it even possible to do it on Ubuntu?
[06:58] <kurt> wastrel: yes
[06:58] <Matyas_za> jjjjjjj: try /home/ftp
[06:58] <OmegaAlpha> hatake_kakashi, true.. ive just been watching the olmypics everynight now in almost every event... noone came close tomake a new world record
[06:58] <wastrel> kurt:  so your gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> isn't it?
[06:58] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, curiously, what does this mean? ieee1394               90936  2 ohci1394,sbp2
[06:59] <Matyas_za> !LDAP
[06:59] <ubotu> Matyas_za: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:59] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: the module 'ieee1394' has got two other modules dependent on it.. ohci1394 and sbp2. ohci1394 is open host controller interface 1394 and sbp2? I'm not sure
[06:59] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, ah, thanks
[07:00] <Nunquam_Fidelis> thoreauputic: didn' t quite work =/
[07:00] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: np, btw, you said it worked before, but during that time of 'worked before' did you restart the computer and that's where it did not work?
[07:00] <mebaran151> anybody here know about radrails
[07:00] <Drac[Server] > What sounds more interesting: A computer inside of the shell of a 1970s space heater, or a computer (the motherboard and such) inside of a W.B. Mason cardboard box?
[07:00] <Nunquam_Fidelis> Drac[Server] : the former.
[07:00] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, yes
[07:00] <wastrel> Drac[Server] :  space heater!
[07:01] <Drac[Server] > Hehehe.
[07:01] <wastrel> Drac[Server] :  i've seen cardboard box cases
[07:01] <brad_teenbot> varsendagger, are you around?
[07:01] <kurt> wastrel: default gateway?  that is set to the internet router.  <IP_ADDRESS>/24 has a gateway to the internet via <IP_ADDRESS>.  I am trying to set a route to my remote network of <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[07:01] <Drac[Server] > wastrel, I have, too.
[07:01] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: something that you had to input in to make it work. I wonder if you need to make a node for it to work..
[07:01] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: 'didn't quite work" is an error message I've never seen ;-)
[07:01] <Drac[Server] > I have an ancient Compaq. Icky. Proprietary. I have no real use for it. I want to put it inside of something unusual. This space heater is the perfect size! :D

[07:01] <aridese> hatake_kakashi, quite the contrary, i just plugged it in and it worked :-/
[07:01] <hatake_kakashi> aridese: just then? hm
[07:02] <jjjjjjj> thanks fang/matyas
[07:02] <jjjjjjj> i was reading
[07:02] <wastrel> kurt:  no the gateway for the 10.* network.   route add -net 10.foo gw 172.x.y.3   <  .3 not .2  (?)  you said you'd used .2 before
[07:02] <ivo_> hey
[07:02] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: look in your home directory for ~/.config - I think that's where xfce4 puts per-user settings
[07:02] <ivo_> :)
[07:02] <Breezy-CA> kurt - what is the network that connects you and the remote site?
[07:02] <drool> can i get some help installing ubuntu 5.10?
[07:02] <OmegaAlpha> hey anyone familiar with plugging appliances into theircomputers?
[07:02] <Matyas_za> NP
[07:03] <kurt> Breezy-CA: the net between the two serial ports?
[07:03] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: you can probably blow that directory away, or rename it for safety
[07:03] <Matyas_za> OmegaAlpha: I plugged my Braai into it
[07:03] <drool> i am having trouble setting up partitions to install ubuntu
[07:03] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, whats a Braai?
[07:03] <Matyas_za> Im busy thinking of another name HAHA
[07:03] <Nunquam_Fidelis> thoreauputic: thanks again.
[07:03] <ivo_> mustard5
[07:03] <Matyas_za> its where you cook meat on outside in the yard
[07:03] <thoreauputic> Nunquam_Fidelis: no worries :)
[07:03] <ivo_> i got
[07:03] <ivo_> white
[07:04] <mustard5> ivo_, yes?
[07:04] <ivo_> screen
[07:04] <ivo_> :)
[07:04] <Draconicus> wastrel: Hold on. I'm taking a picture of the space heater now.
[07:04] <mustard5> ivo_, cool..I thought you had trouble because you went away for a long time
[07:04] <OmegaAlpha> hehe let me know when you figure it out.. im curious on how to do it..
[07:04] <ivo_> i got
[07:04] <ivo_> trauble
[07:04] <ivo_> i write
[07:04] <ivo_> sudo dpkg.....
[07:04] <thoreauputic> !enter
[07:04] <Matyas_za> OmegaAlpha: I made a step motor for it from a Floppy drive to make it open and close the gas and then I used a gate motor to turn the meat around
[07:04] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[07:04] <ivo_> to fix
[07:04] <ivo_> than restart
[07:04] <ivo_> and its all work
[07:04] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, for starters i want to try something simple like my home stereo.. or just a light will do
[07:04] <ivo_> Tnxxxx :)
[07:04] <mustard5> ivo_, ah ok..lucky I told you that one before you left :)
[07:04] <thoreauputic> ivo_: stop it with the enter key, please
[07:04] <hpcd> where do i put a debian package so i can install it
[07:05] <ivo_> :)
[07:05] <thoreauputic> hpcd: anywhere you like
[07:05] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, oh you mean a grill?
[07:05] <Matyas_za> OmegaAlpha: Oh yes hAHAH
[07:05] <thoreauputic> hpcd: but if it's some random .deb, don't do it
[07:05] <mustard5> ivo_, the white screen is good :)
[07:05] <mustard5> ivo_, you could try this now.....
[07:05] <mrspeck> hey all! any idea how i change the background color of a window?
[07:05] <mustard5> ivo_, in terminal...  nvidia-settings
[07:05] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, you bar-b-qin in your house ? lol

[07:06] <aridese> 2.6.12 is the latest breezy version?
[07:06] <Breezy-CA> kurt - yes - if I'm understanding you properly, your LAN is 172.16.100/24 and the remote LAN is 10.0.1/24. What is the network ID of the link between you ?
[07:07] <Matyas_za> Has anyone here installed LDAP on Ubuntu before?
[07:07] <epp> hey what can i do to speed up gnome? i only have 64mb ram...
[07:07] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, what are these step and gate motors usually used for? were they made to be plugged into computers?
[07:07] <ivo_> whrw i can change resolotion?
[07:07] <wastrel> epp:  you just answered your own question
[07:07] <ivo_> where
[07:07] <Matyas_za> Yes into the parallel port
[07:07] <thoreauputic> app: 64MB Ram isn't enough - I would install xubntu-desktop
[07:08] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, im just trying to figure out how to build an adapter that i can plug the lamp into and then into the computer.. and then make/find software to operate it...

[07:09] <sinaduel> is the quickcam express the only one that does not work with linux?
[07:09] <kurt> Breezy-CA: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>.  I can route traffic correctly there.  It just seems to be this one box that has a public and private nic.  If I ping a remote host on the remote lan, traffic is going out the public nic instead of the private.  That is shown in the route cache.  Hence, I'm trying to set a route to the remote network and force traffic destined for a specific network through my internal network and hop across with the ro

[07:09] <mustard5> ivo_, do your mp3's play in xmms?
[07:09] <aridese> is 2.6.12 the latest linux kernel version?
[07:09] <aridese> for breezy?
[07:10] <Matyas_za> Private Messege me
[07:10] <ivo_> yes
[07:10] <ivo_> : )
[07:10] <thoreauputic> aridese: for breezy, yes
[07:10] <Breezy-CA> kurt - gotcha
[07:10] <mustard5> ivo_, k
[07:10] <Matyas_za> Move the topic into a private conversation
[07:10] <Matyas_za> your problem doesnt really fall under Ubuntu problems
[07:10] <Mordof> question: i had breezy installed, then i made free space on my hd and installed dapper.. now dapper is the one with the grub menu.lst loading at startup, how do i change it back to the one in breezys installation/
[07:10] <ivo_> cool i love linux windows xp sucks :)
[07:11] <jetscreamer> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the dapper install
[07:11] <Breezy-CA> kurt - you'll need to route add 192.168.2/24 via whatever interface is on 172.16.100/24
[07:11] <Mordof> jetscreamer, to what
[07:12] <jetscreamer> add the entry that is in the same file in the breezy install
[07:12] <Mordof> jetscreamer, i want it to run off breezys, not dappers
[07:12] <jetscreamer> use a grub floppy then
[07:12] <jetscreamer> or apt-get install grub-doc and info grub
[07:12] <Breezy-CA> kurt - I'm getting too tired to think clearly; I meant you'll need to add 10.0.1/24, not 192.168.2/24
[07:13] <ivo_> mustard5 in unbuntun has got c++ redaktor?
[07:13] <mrspeck> anyone know how to change window background colors in ubuntu/gnome?
[07:13] <mustard5> ivo_, I don't know what that is :)
[07:13] <RemyLaptop> hey guys, need help.
[07:13] <RemyLaptop> how can I play mp3 files on ubuntu ?
[07:13] <Madpilot> !tell RemyLaptop about mp3
[07:13] <mustard5> ivo_, what does a 'redaktor' do?
[07:13] <whyami> !restricted formats
[07:13] <ubotu> [restricted formats]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or 'codecs'
[07:13] <jetscreamer> then change the breezy one and update-grub
[07:13] <jetscreamer> Mordof: ^^
[07:13] <ivo_> Emm Visual C++ borland
[07:13] <ivo_> :)
[07:14] <ivo_> redaktor is editing program
[07:14] <Mordof> jetscreamer, update-grub is all i hate to do to get it to run off this one?
[07:14] <mustard5> ivo_, ah ok..I don't do programming, so I don't know
[07:14] <RemyLaptop> Madpilot,
[07:14] <wastrel> mrspeck:  system > preferences > theme
[07:14] <RemyLaptop> I allready did that, still no joy
[07:14] <jetscreamer> no, you need to edit the file
[07:14] <ivo_> :) ok
[07:14] <OmegaAlpha> ivo_ you know borland C++? how do you like that language?
[07:14] <thoreauputic> ivo_: I think Visual c++ is a windows thing, is it not?
[07:14] <Breezy-CA> I'm going to have to shut down and get some shuteye; I'm not making sense to myself ...
[07:14] <mustard5> ivo_, you could try searching using synaptic package manager
[07:14] <jetscreamer> info grub on how to tell it to use a different location
[07:15] <mrspeck> wastrel:  that only lets me change the icons or the windows or the themes-- but i'm not seeing where i can change the background color of a window?
[07:15] <Matyas_za> turbo pascal is enought to know OmegaAlpha
[07:15] <mustard5> ivo_, use the search button
[07:15] <whyami> RemyLaptop: you did what it specifies on the Restricted Formats page?
[07:15] <Mordof> jetscreamer, how to set a default boot entry
[07:15] <Mordof> ?
[07:15] <kurt> Breezy-CA: I agree.  route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/24 gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0 should be the command, correct?
[07:15] <OmegaAlpha> thoreauputic, i would think its not strictly a windows thing.. jsut a GUI thing
[07:15] <RemyLaptop> Madpilot, I installed gstreamer package, but still no go
[07:15] <ivo_> oke im now teaching C++ :)
[07:15] <jetscreamer> iirc you can specify which menu.lst to use also via the grub command line when you boot
[07:15] <RemyLaptop> totem opens and says it doesn't have the available codec to play it
[07:15] <Draconicus> wastrel: Pardon the horrible delay. Here's the heater: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/~thehap/glitch/heater.jpeg    I went through hell with preferences in camorama and server problems, but I managed to get the picture up.
[07:15] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, i PM'd you
[07:15] <sambagirl> can somone please tell me the command to mount windows drive again? i lost the command. i am using live cd.
[07:16] <Matyas_za> I didnt get the message
[07:16] <wastrel> Draconicus:  that would definitely make an awesome computer case
[07:16] <thoreauputic> sambagirl: something like  sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media
[07:16] <Draconicus> wastrel: Hehe.
[07:16] <jjjjjjj> how do i turn off in irc chat "user leaving... user enters" messsages?
[07:16] <thought> hello
[07:16] <_RocH> RemyLaptop, google for easyubuntu
[07:16] <wastrel> Draconicus:  try to figure out some way to save/use the heating element
[07:16] <mustard5> sambagirl, I'll get it for you..one secon
[07:16] <sambagirl> i had it but i lost it when i shout down to try to boot with xp drive buti it failed again.
[07:17] <RemyLaptop> k
[07:17] <Matyas_za> You use msn Omega?
[07:17] <Draconicus> wastrel: There wouldn't be room, and it'd suck power. This things from the 70s, remember? :P
[07:17] <sambagirl> i just despise windows
[07:17] <wastrel> kurt:  breezy-ca left...  looks ok to me
[07:17] <Draconicus> thing's*
[07:17] <jetscreamer> jjjjjjj: with nice ignore rules
[07:17] <sambagirl> think that worked it was vfat
[07:17] <a2xm> hi all, I've a question: I login from a client to my samba server. How to log out from that client?
[07:17] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, i messaged you again.. yes i do and aim
[07:17] <RemyLaptop> _RocH, may I hump your leg ?
[07:18] <thoreauputic> sambagirl: yes, -t vfat for fat32
[07:18] <ivo_> mustard5 what contry u live?
[07:18] <sambagirl> yes it worked thanks a bunch
[07:18] <mustard5> sambagirl, sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[07:18] <sambagirl> this live cd is fangastic
[07:18] <mustard5> ivo_, Australia
[07:18] <Draconicus> wastrel: Besides, heat+computer=bad. :P
[07:18] <thoreauputic> sambagirl: :)
[07:18] <wastrel> Draconicus:  true enough
[07:18] <sambagirl> why is yours so much bigger than theraputics mustard5?
[07:18] <mustard5> sambagirl, you want that on one line?
[07:18] <Matyas_za> OmegaAlpha: my irc doesnt seem to pick up your msg's, my aol is matyasza
[07:18] <ivo_> ohhh cool
[07:18] <jetscreamer> - t auto is safer
[07:18] <Draconicus> I could really use some metal cutting tools, though...
[07:18] <jetscreamer> if you don't know
[07:18] <sambagirl> oh i am mounted already mustard5 thank you very much
[07:19] <ivo_> There is a canguru? :)
[07:19] <benplaut> my fonts look horrible in openoffice... anti-aliasing makes them all look 'fuzzy'. Any fix? it was doing this in breezy, but i can't remember what i did
[07:19] <mustard5> sambagirl, k
[07:19] <jjjjjjj> i installed snak on the mac and it was nice...
[07:19] <jjjjjjj> for irc
[07:19] <Mordof> jetscreamer, im still not entirely sure as to what i need to do, i mean.. i know i need to update breezys menu.lst.. but then what to change the main boot loader to use breezys
[07:19] <kkathman> evening all :)
[07:20] <jetscreamer> Mordof: why does it matter which. but you need to boot to breezy and grub-install (hd-whatever,whatever)
[07:20] <jetscreamer> if you just have to have that one
[07:20] <kkathman> all day I have been trying to apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, but it comes back saying nothing...that it doesnt exist.  Ive done an apt-cache search kubuntu-desktop and nothing comes up
[07:20] <Mordof> it matters which cause dapper is a test install, and could need formatting at any point, in which case would render breezy useless
[07:20] <kkathman> my apt-get updates arent "hitting" on all counts
[07:20] <thoreauputic> kkathman: checked your source.list ?
[07:20] <thoreauputic> *sources.list
[07:21] <kkathman> thoreauputic, its the sources from the breezy install disk
[07:21] <kkathman> I had to reinstall
[07:21] <jetscreamer> well ok make a grub floppy and boot to breezy
[07:21] <OmegaAlpha> Matyas_za, ill have to download aim again.. hold on
[07:21] <Mordof> you want me to use a floppy all the time?
[07:21] <thoreauputic> kkathman: hmm - kubuntu-desktop should be in main methinks...
[07:21] <thoreauputic> !info kubuntu-desktop
[07:21] <ubotu> kubuntu-desktop: (Kubuntu desktop system), section misc, is optional. Version: 0.55 (breezy), Packaged size: 8 kB, Installed size: 36 kB
[07:21] <kkathman> right Id think so
[07:22] <jjjjjjj> someone gave me an answer long ago and now all these "joe blow has entered/exited" messages filled up the buffer and i can;t see his answer.
[07:22] <jetscreamer> no you need to boot to breezy unless you want to take the time to info grub and learn how to do it from a floppy or an hd or whereever you happen to be
[07:22] <ivo_> mustard5 on unbuntu winamp is working?
[07:22] <jetscreamer> then run grub-install (hdwhatever,whatever)
[07:22] <mustard5> ivo_, xmms is like winamp
[07:22] <jjjjjjj> all i see is an empty page when i ftp to my site.  looking for my default ftp directory using vsftpd
[07:22] <kkathman> thoreauputic, can you check this:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9107
[07:23] <Mordof> jetscreamer, im in breezy currently..
[07:23] <ivo_> oh tnx :)
[07:23] <mustard5> ivo_, windows programs don't work normally in linux
[07:23] <mustard5> ivo_, you can get wine to make some windows programs run
[07:23] <jetscreamer> well ok install grub to mbr then
[07:23] <ivo_> whats is wine? :)
[07:23] <jetscreamer> grub counts from 0
[07:23] <Mordof> jetscreamer, how do i do that? :P
[07:24] <jetscreamer> then run grub-install (hdwhatever,whatever)
[07:24] <jetscreamer> then run grub-install (hdwhatever,whatever)
[07:24] <kkathman> thoreauputic,  and here's my sources.list  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9108
[07:24] <jjjjjjj> wine lets ya run windows under linux i think;'
[07:24] <Mordof> ohh
[07:24] <jetscreamer> hd0,0 or whatever it really is
[07:24] <wastrel> jjjjjjj:  using xchat?
[07:24] <jjjjjjj> yes
[07:24] <jjjjjjj> wastrel
[07:24] <jetscreamer> man grub-install
[07:24] <jetscreamer> info grub
[07:25] <jjjjjjj> i gotta run downstairs... hope the buffer don't fill up befroe i come back <sigh>
[07:25] <eXcessive> how can i set up a hardware-accelerated OpenGL on my Ubuntu? my current ogl doesn't work even in software-mode.

[07:26] <fojackedddolt> HELP: Ubuntu won't let me delete any file directories under the GUI, because i don't have enough "permissions"
[07:27] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  what are you trying to delete?
[07:27] <eXcessive> fojackedddolt, "man chmod" and "man chown"
[07:27] <wastrel> ffs don't tell people to go chowning stuff
[07:27] <DevilGuy> could someone help me with an install problem i'm having?
[07:27] <Mordof> jetscreamer, the mbr is on my first hd, this is really risky and its not showing exactly how to use it.. i wish man and info would give examples :S
[07:27] <thought> whats the difference from breezy and horay
[07:28] <wastrel> DevilGuy:  just tell us the problem
[07:28] <wastrel> thought:  breezy is newer
[07:28] <carthik> thought breezy was released 6 months after hoary
[07:28] <ivo_> mustard5 ok big big big tnx for helping me :) i going sleep :) bay bay
[07:28] <thought> cool
[07:28] <OmegaAlpha> any1 watching the olympics?
[07:28] <thought> should i have both in my repository
[07:28] <carthik> thought, no, just the newer one
[07:28] <Mordof> jetscreamer, any chance you could show an example of what i would type?
[07:28] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: a directory i created
[07:29] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: under the media directory
[07:29] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  ok is the directory empty?  do you have a disk mounted there?
[07:29] <jetscreamer> i did
[07:29] <DevilGuy> i'm trying to install latest stable ubuntu dvd that i got off the website using bittorrent.. i get the following error when i try to but it:  isolinux: disk error 80, AX= ...., drive 9f
[07:29] <jetscreamer> Mordof: examine device.map in the grub dir
[07:29] <Draconicus> wastrel: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/~thehap/glitch/heater2.jpeg <--- It's pretty nasty in this thing...
[07:29] <Mordof> jetscreamer, k
[07:30] <eXcessive> how can i set up a hardware-accelerated OpenGL on my Ubuntu? my current ogl doesn't work even in software-mode. i have riva tnt2. help someone :|
[07:30] <Mordof> got my 2 hard drives in there
[07:30] <jetscreamer> Mordof: you could 'try' update-grub but i don't know if there is such a thing in ubuntu
[07:30] <thought> cool thanks man
[07:30] <wastrel> Draconicus:  you wouldn't believe the amt of dust & cat hair i pulled out of my computer's air intake the other day :]
[07:30] <jetscreamer> ok so hd-whatever
[07:30] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: there was a disk mounted there, but after i restarted it isnt there anymore
[07:30] <OmegaAlpha> whats the difference b/t using voip and using a messenger program and doing a mic/video chat?
[07:30] <Draconicus> wastrel: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/~thehap/glitch/heater3.jpeg <--- I mean.. scary nasty. ._.
[07:30] <fojackedddolt> wastrel:no files in it though
[07:31] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, you dont need a computer for the former
[07:31] <ubuntu_> .org
[07:31] <DevilGuy> 2 days ago i burned a dvd with the lastest knoppix distro as well, and i get the same error on that computer: isolinux: disk error...
[07:31] <Draconicus> The wires are FUZZY! AHHH!
[07:31] <Mordof> jetscreamer, update-grub did something
[07:31] <mrspeck> does anyone know anything about bluefish?
[07:31] <DevilGuy> the wierd thing is that if i put the disc on my laptop, i don't get the error
[07:31] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  ok, so when you rebooted it unmounted?  if you try to delete the folder while the disk is mounted you could erase files on the disk... (depending on what type of disk it is)
[07:31] <binarydigit> mrspeck: its a web development editor
[07:31] <carthik> mrspeck, what do you want to know about it?
[07:31] <sinaduel> I need help, does quickcam express work on linux, or is it the only one SOL?
[07:31] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, why do they have voip software for linux?
[07:32] <mrspeck> i want to change the background color of the main editor
[07:32] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, what do you mean "why"?
[07:32] <mrspeck> but i'm unable to accomplish this solely through the syntax highlighting controls
[07:32] <jetscreamer> why do they have phones in linux
[07:32] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: nothing is mounted, when i type "mount" in the terminal, it dosnt show it there.
[07:32] <mrspeck> the area to the right of the newlines still shows white
[07:32] <jetscreamer> ok
[07:32] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, voip is as simple as voice->bits->internet->bits->voice
[07:33] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, whats the purpose of having voip on your computer? when you can just use a messenger program? does voip on the computer still allow you to use a phone... and to dial a phone number?
[07:33] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  ok, so you can remove it with  sudo rmdir /media/name-of-folder
[07:33] <mustard5> OmegaAlpha, people can call you on your computer via a phone
[07:33] <Mordof> OmegaAlpha, yeah, thats what its for
[07:33] <carthik> you can use a phone to record the voice (like vonage and other voip phone companies), or use software on a pc, like skype and other software, OmegaAlpha
[07:33] <jetscreamer> yes it d0es
[07:33] <mrspeck> is there a way to change the background on the main editor?
[07:33] <jetscreamer> google h323 or so
[07:33] <mustard5> OmegaAlpha, or vice versa
[07:33] <Nunquam_Fidelis> Can I probe a specific port of a specific IP?
[07:33] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, ahh nice... i was wondering because i heard about skype... is it free to use?
[07:34] <p0windah> OmegaAlpha: the idea is to use your computer/internet "as a phone", and enjoying the cost savings of not having to use a traditional telephone/network
[07:34] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, with voip software, you can call landline phones, or any phone, for that matter - and the quality is MUCH better than msn/yahoo chat
[07:34] <mustard5> OmegaAlpha, computer to computer is free..computer to phone is not
[07:34] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: thanks, I got that. But im not sure why I cant do it under my GUI, because i have other permission problems too
[07:34] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, skype is free for pc to pc calls - for extended service, you need to pay up :)
[07:34] <aridese> how long does a kernel compile take? it's taken about 3 minutes now...
[07:34] <wastrel> Draconicus:  ok yeah eew
[07:34] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  using nautilus?
[07:34] <sinaduel> I need help, does quickcam express work on linux, or is it the only one SOL?
[07:34] <carthik> aridese, an hour ot two is norml
[07:34] <aridese> carthik, holy shit
[07:34] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: yes.. I belive so, the default ubuntu one
[07:34] <aridese> carthik, i have an 3400+ though
[07:35] <carthik> aridese, depends on your computer, so it might take you just 15 minutes :)
[07:35] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, oh ok.. just curious... so using skype for pc to pc wouldnt be necessary then...
[07:35] <aridese> carthik, oh ok...
[07:35] <sambagirl> here is an interesting question. i was looking at a fourm for setiing up a burner for exterman for backpack for parallel or serial port not sure what that one is but it said to change the bios from this to that like PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP from what mine is PCSPP,TRISTATE,ECP for parallel i think it is.
[07:35] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  yeah, i don't know how to do that sort of thing with nautilus... cli junky myself...
[07:35] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, well, think of it as msn/yahoo for talking, skype is undeniably better, and since they use their own technology you have to be a skype user to talk to a skype user -- better software in short
[07:35] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, i personally prefer my cellphone :)
[07:35] <sambagirl> i want to do a burn of corporate cd with live cd can i configure for this function?
[07:36] <fojackedddolt> wastrel: ohkay, thank you bunches though, I an tryingn to find somthing
[07:36] <DevilGuy> i have a computer on which i have tried two different linux distros (ubuntu and knoppix) when i try to boot up, after i hit enter at the prompt i get the following error: "isolinux:  Disk Error 80, AX = ....,, drive 9F"...  when i boot up on my laptop i don't get the error
[07:36] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, yeah me too. im just looking for new technologies to have fun with and to incorporate all into my computer.. so that i can just do everythign from my computer
[07:36] <sambagirl> theoreauputic can you give me the mounting command again i will write it down i crashed lsat time and was unable to record the command.
[07:36] <ivo_> mustard5 i just remeber
[07:37] <ivo_> :)
[07:37] <mrspeck> carthik: any ideas?
[07:37] <ivo_> how to
[07:37] <ivo_> i instala new themes
[07:37] <ivo_> ?
[07:37] <ivo_> : )
[07:37] <mustard5> ivo_, try to type it all on one line ;)
[07:37] <p0windah> OmegaAlpha: I use skype to keep in contact with friends in the UK, AU and USD
[07:37] <LiteHedded> !samba
[07:37] <ubotu> from memory, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[07:37] <p0windah> OmegaAlpha: top quality audio at no cost
[07:37] <mustard5> ivo_, umm..let me think...
[07:38] <ivo_> How to i install a new themes i download i yhis
[07:38] <ivo_> GTK2-ClearlooksFonky.tar.bz2
[07:38] <ivo_> :)
[07:38] <Madpilot> Breezy & Hoary had an "Ubuntu Hardware Reporter" app - anyone know where it's gone in Dapper?
[07:38] <mustard5> ivo_, open up System>>Preferences>>Themes....
[07:38] <carthik> mrspeck, about what?
[07:38] <carthik> mrspeck, unless you use my nick in the message, i can't see what you type :)
[07:38] <mustard5> ivo_, click on 'Install new theme'
[07:38] <ivo_> ok
[07:38] <mustard5> ivo_, actually no...don't click on that
[07:39] <jacquesmerde> is it possible to set certain commands to be run when a certain piece of your hardware is (dis)connected?
[07:39] <Madpilot> ivo_: after you've installed the new theme, you can delete the .tar.bz2 file...
[07:39] <mustard5> ivo, drag the file into the theme window and drop it
[07:39] <RemyLaptop> anyone here know much about easyubuntu?
[07:39] <Mabus06> I'm getting errors that my hostname is not recognized when I login
[07:39] <ivo_> ohh ok tnx :)
[07:39] <mrspeck> carthik: i'm trying to set the background color in the bluefish main editor window-- but i'm unable-- how do it do it?
[07:39] <ushooz> Madpilot: System/Administration/Device Manager
[07:39] <jjjjjjj> what does /usr represent?  tia
[07:39] <mustard5> ivo_, did that work?
[07:39] <jjjjjjj> never mind... i'll man it
[07:40] <ivo_> works super :)
[07:40] <marc> Help!  Looking for a way to activate voice chat within gaim.   Please!
[07:40] <stoned> i don't know if anyone cares, but i finally configured my multimedia keyboard using 'keytouch', hotkeys, xev, xmodmap etc. are hard to configure, this thing makes it really easy
[07:40] <sinaduel> I need help, does quickcam express work on linux, or is it the only one SOL? please tell me
[07:40] <Mabus06> marc: try gaim2
[07:40] <fojackedddolt> can anyone tell me how to be the "owner" so i can set permissions?
[07:40] <RemyLaptop> trying to run easyubuntu, and I keep getting a message saying: "Could not apply changes, fix broken packages then try again"
[07:40] <p0windah> gaim2 with voice is out ?
[07:40] <Mabus06> fojackedddolt: sudo
[07:40] <wastrel> fojackedddolt:  gksudo nautilus   apparently.  if you're comfortable running nautilus as uid 0
[07:40] <Mabus06> I think there's abeta for it, or something
[07:41] <carthik> mrspeck, background for the webpage? you might want to do it with a css stylesheet
[07:41] <Madpilot> ushooz: not the same thing - I'm talking about the 'report your hardware & what works to the Ubuntu Project" app
[07:41] <ivo_> ok i now going sleep tnx :)
[07:41] <carthik> mrspeck if it is the color of blusefish's edit window, then i don't know
[07:41] <p0windah> gaim2 beta doesnt include voice
[07:41] <Mabus06> Ah.
[07:42] <akant> fojackedddolt, cant you just chown the file?
[07:42] <p0windah> its a priority for them and should be in for gaim2 final
[07:42] <carthik> RemyLaptop, in a terminal, run apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade and then if needed apt-get -f install -- follow the messages you get
[07:42] <p0windah> and thats when we all switch from skype to gtalk :)
[07:43] <Mabus06> I'm getting errors that my hostname is not recognized when I login. It causes me to not be able to do ... anything.
[07:44] <Mabus06> t's the hostname I entered when by default it's 'ubuntu' I put 'nicksmachine' and it doesn't work... can somebody please give me some advice so I don't just have to reinstall ubuntu again?
[07:44] <akant> have any of you taken the linux+ test?
[07:44] <wastrel> akant:  you shouldn't go around chowning everything in sight
[07:44] <p0windah> PoLaPaIn: looks tricky
[07:45] <jjjjjjj> i made  a few changes to vsftpd.conf.  do i have to update it somehow or is just saving it enough?
[07:45] <thought> hey
[07:45] <wastrel> Mabus06:  are you on the system currently?
[07:45] <Mordof> jetscreamer, i see now.. see what i thought was happeneing was that if i erased /boot/grub from my dapper install, that i wouldnt be able to choose my menu options.. i wasnt away it wrote it directly to a mbr
[07:45] <thought> has anyone updated their ubuntu with kde ?
[07:45] <RemyLaptop> carthik, something seems to be going differently now! thanks :P
[07:45] <jjjjjjj> trying to upload a file so i can find the ftp folder
[07:45] <Mabus06> wastrel: no, I'm on one beside it
[07:45] <carthik> Mabus06, look at /etc/hostname 's contents
[07:45] <sambagirl> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -o umask=000 what is wrong with this? i should telll it vfat yes?
[07:46] <wastrel> Mabus06:  boot the rescue option and yeah, check /etc/hostname
[07:46] <carthik> RemyLaptop, cool. the apt-get -f install forces installation of things with minor issues and the like :)
[07:46] <jaypee_> how do you remove menu items?
[07:46] <Mordof> jetscreamer, ty very much for the help, i got it configured the way i want it to be now
[07:46] <Mabus06> wastrel: it just says <IP_ADDRESS> (or whatever that number is) localhost
[07:46] <wastrel> thought apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:46] <RemyLaptop> carthik, ok.  I'm also only installing the bits I really want from easyubuntu rather than the whole lot, which might also be making a difference.
[07:46] <jetscreamer> no you're basically reinstalling it to the mbr and telling it to use that directory on that partition of that hard drive
[07:46] <carthik> jjjjjjj, restart the ftp server, look in /etc/init.d
[07:46] <wastrel> Mabus06:  in /etc/hostname ?
[07:46] <jetscreamer> yay
[07:47] <Mabus06> wastrel: err, that was /etc/hosts/ hold on, I'll switch computers
[07:47] <jetscreamer> even though  it's automatic
[07:47] <carthik> RemyLaptop, it might be interesting to install stuff by selecting stuff and installing from the terminal/synaptic, you know :)
[07:47] <jetscreamer> ah you quit and i types
[07:47] <jetscreamer> :/
[07:47] <jjjjjjj> will do
[07:47] <jjjjjjj> thx car
[07:47] <thought> dam why don't they just put that on the forums =\
[07:48] <thought> i've been reading so meny different ways
[07:48] <carthik> thought, put what?
[07:48] <thought> none have worked
[07:48] <thought> how to update to kde
[07:48] <Mabus06> wastrel: /hostname just says nicksmachine
[07:48] <Mordof> jetscreamer, sorry, i restarted irc to get auto-join on
[07:48] <carthik> thought, how to start using kde instead of gnome?
[07:48] <wastrel> wth???
[07:48] <DevilGuy> i have a computer on which i have tried two different linux distros (ubuntu and knoppix) when i try to boot up from the dvd to install, after i hit enter at the prompt i get the following error: "isolinux:  Disk Error 80, AX = ....,, drive 9F"...  when i boot up on my laptop i don't get the error
[07:48] <Mabus06> ie: root@nicksmachine
[07:48] <thought> yea
[07:48] <jetscreamer> np
[07:48] <wastrel> $ ls -l /etc/monkeys
[07:48] <wastrel> -rw-------  1 root root 0 2005-01-17 01:49 /etc/monkeys
[07:48] <carthik> thought $sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will give you the whole kubuntu experience - the right way to do it, so to speak
[07:49] <wastrel> Mabus06:  that looks ok...
[07:49] <thought> cool well thanks alot ma
[07:49] <carthik> DevilGuy, the cd reader might be bad, then?
[07:49] <thought> n
[07:49] <DevilGuy> other cd/dvds work fine
[07:49] <DevilGuy> it's brand new.. bought it in december
[07:49] <Mabus06> wastrel: when I logged into gnome it said something about it being a valid internet address, or something strange like that
[07:49] <wastrel> Mabus06:  in /etc/hosts on the line with <IP_ADDRESS>   add nicksmachine at the end of the line.
[07:50] <wastrel> Mabus06:  <IP_ADDRESS> localhost localhost.localdomain nicksmachine      <- like that
[07:50] <carthik> DevilGuy, if you are talking to aperson, use the nick in the message, so the message is highlighted for that person :)
[07:50] <carthik> DevilGuy, i dont have a clue about your problem, though.
[07:50] <DevilGuy> thanks carthik
[07:50] <Mabus06> wastrel: how come I never had to do this before? (brb)
[07:50] <DevilGuy> i'm not talking to anyone specifically.. just thought someone here might be able to help me
[07:51] <sambagirl> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -o umask=000 is this right for vfat?
[07:51] <jetscreamer> -t auto
[07:51] <jetscreamer> or -t vfat
[07:52] <jetscreamer> man mount, search for fmask & dmask if you wanna get fancy
[07:52] <sambagirl> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -t vfat <--- like that?
[07:52] <jetscreamer> you forgot the -o
[07:53] <sambagirl> augh
[07:53] <sambagirl> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -to vfat <--- like that?
[07:53] <jetscreamer> why don't you put it in your fstab
[07:53] <sambagirl> like tthat?
[07:53] <RemyLaptop> carthik, all worked well, thanks !
[07:53] <jetscreamer> no, -t vfat -o umask=
[07:53] <sambagirl> i am duing live cd my xp drive will not boot i have big problem
[07:54] <Butchie> Hi, can someone tell me how i can get ubuntu to install on my hard drive without formatting it?
[07:54] <jetscreamer> you can restore the xp bootloader using a dos boot floppy or a cd
[07:54] <jetscreamer> if you ever wanted to
[07:54] <jetscreamer> or just use a grub-floppy
[07:54] <wastrel> Mabus06:  did that work?
[07:54] <asimismo> Hey folks. Couple partitioning questions. First, can (or should) /boot be put on software RAID1?
[07:54] <carthik> DevilGuy, a google search reveals that it is either a badly written cd, a bad cd drive, or  a bad bios -- try searching on google for ""isolinux:  Disk Error 80"
[07:55] <carthik> Butchie, but you need free space for ubuntu to live in
[07:55] <sambagirl> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -t vfat -o umask=OOO
[07:55] <sambagirl> like that?
[07:55] <jetscreamer> should work
[07:55] <sambagirl> doesnt
[07:55] <Butchie> i know this but how can i repartition my drive cuz i do have free space just no free partitions
[07:56] <sambagirl> mount: mount point /media/windows does not exist
[07:56] <jetscreamer> ls /media
[07:56] <Butchie> is ther some sort of guide that i can check out?
[07:56] <carthik> Butchie, okay, during the install, choose "install ubuntu in the free space"
[07:56] <Butchie> oh is it that simple
[07:56] <carthik> Butchie, ubuntu should detect the available free space and offer to use it
[07:56] <jetscreamer> if you have freespace
[07:56] <jetscreamer> there ya go
[07:57] <Butchie> ah ok...  i jsut want to be sure it doesnt kill my xp that i have
[07:57] <Butchie> i can use them both right?
[07:57] <jetscreamer> yep
[07:57] <Butchie> it'l give me a choice on startup which one to boot ?
[07:57] <carthik> Butchie, it wont, for sure: but you can always repair the ntloader if things get screwed up or something -- BACKUP your important data, though!!
[07:57] <jetscreamer> should
[07:57] <Butchie> ugg..
[07:57] <carthik> Butchie, yes, it will install grub and offer you bootup options
[07:57] <Butchie> :S
[07:58] <Butchie> i don;'t liek the sound of that
[07:58] <sambagirl> bah
[07:58] <jetscreamer> humbug
[07:58] <Butchie> so what would cause it to have a problem?
[07:58] <carthik> Butchie, backup is prudence, is all - especially when you are not too sure. Use an external usb drive or something, or email yourself your important stuff or something
[07:58] <benplaut> my fonts look horrible in openoffice... anti-aliasing makes them all look 'fuzzy'. Any fix? it was doing this in breezy, but i can't remember what i did
[07:58] <sambagirl> this so stuipido
[07:58] <sambagirl> STUPID
[07:58] <nuambenzina> http://pastebin.com/566324
[07:58] <carthik> Butchie, user errors? :)
[07:59] <Butchie> haha
[07:59] <Butchie> thats why i'm here talking to you!
[07:59] <Butchie> to eliminate them
[07:59] <asimismo> Anyone have good references on choosing partitioning schemes? Got 80 gigs to work with...
[07:59] <jetscreamer> asimismo: unless you feel godlike, just use one big one
[07:59] <carthik> Butchie, i could do it right, but I can't tell you what all might happen, and what all NOT to do :)
[07:59] <jetscreamer> asimismo: you can change it later
[08:00] <jetscreamer> just don't use up all your free space
[08:00] <wastrel> asimismo:  /boot /  and /home
[08:00] <Butchie> ok i'm not too dumb so i'm pretty sure i can tell what i'm about to click would screw everything up
[08:00] <akant> I always move my /home and other static data stores to seperate partitions
[08:00] <jsestri2> for a hardware diagnosis, what options should i pass to lspci for it to be as helpful as possible?
[08:00] <carthik> asimismo, use 300MB for /boot 7 gigs for /, the rest for /home -- or better still, use lvm, so you can change your mind and resize later
[08:00] <mwql> i'm a newbie who's trying to get dvd playback
[08:00] <jetscreamer> -vv
[08:00] <mwql> on an amd64
[08:00] <Butchie> and another quick thing, does sata change anything ?
[08:00] <mwql> vlc keeps seg faulting

[08:00] <asimismo> jetscreamer: Was hoping to do LVM on RAID1. Then EVMS for management.
[08:00] <mwql> i've got libdvdcss2 and everything else
[08:01] <RemyLaptop> anyone know a good program to edit audio with ?  (free)
[08:01] <mwql> i tried ogle too, but no success
[08:01] <RemyLaptop> I have two sound clips I want to merge
[08:01] <Madpilot> Butchie: installing on SATA, you mean? No, it shouldn't - my only HD is SATA right now
[08:01] <Butchie> ok good
[08:01] <Butchie> same here
[08:01] <Madpilot> RemyLaptop: Audacity
[08:01] <RemyLaptop> will that work on ubuntu ?
[08:01] <RemyLaptop> sweet!
[08:01] <Butchie> well i'm just gonan give it a shot
[08:01] <Madpilot> RemyLaptop: it's in Ubuntu's repos
[08:01] <jsestri2> !pastebin
[08:01] <ubotu> it has been said that pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[08:01] <carthik> mwql, starting vlc/ogle from the commandline might give you clues as to what's happening that causes the problems
[08:01] <RemyLaptop> hot diggety dawg!
[08:02] <jjjjjjj> ubotu! vsftpd
[08:02] <jjjjjjj> ubotu: tell jjjjjjj about vsftpd
[08:02] <asimismo> carthik: Yeah, LVM is something I want to do. You ever do LVM over mdadm?
[08:03] <mwql> carthik: i've _just_ got it to work on ogle
[08:03] <mwql> carthik: !
[08:03] <jsestri2> hi, can anyone here help me get my installation of Dapper Flight 4 to recognize my onboard NIC?
[08:03] <mwql> yahoo!
[08:03] <carthik> asimismo, no dude/dudette - i use lvm cause i keep chaning my mind regarding the size of partitions, is all
[08:03] <carthik> mwql, i beleive "woot" is the word you are looking for :)
[08:04] <asimismo> carthik: How about EVMS--you use it to manage your LVM or use LVM directly?
[08:04] <carthik> asimismo, i use lvm directly, which is not so bad
[08:04] <Mabus06> I keep getting GPG error: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com breezy Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
[08:05] <carthik> Mabus06, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the urls to archive.ubuntu.....
[08:05] <jsestri2> when i try to fresh install dapper flight 4 to my computer, it won't recognize my onboard NIC, can anyone help me remedy this?
[08:05] <carthik> jsestri2, maybe not
[08:05] <jsestri2> carthik, yeah just hopin
[08:05] <carthik> jsestri2, not many testers here, and we dont even know what nic you have, till now :)
[08:06] <jsestri2> carthik, i have a pastebin of an lspci if you'd like to see
[08:06] <carthik> jsestri2, i wouldn't know jack, anyway :) but you can use the link to the output in your questions here.
[08:06] <jsestri2> carthik, ok
[08:07] <eric_b> hallo
[08:07] <Mabus06> carthik, thanks... ewww.. this is the most problematic ubuntu install I've ever had
[08:07] <jsestri2> can anyone help me get my fresh install to recognize my onboard NIC, lspci -v : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9110
[08:07] <Sp4rKy> hi
[08:07] <carthik> Mabus06, chill - think of it as if you were playing a long and interesting strategy/technique game :)
[08:08] <asimismo> Should /boot not be mirrrored? I've been confused on this issue
[08:08] <jjjjjjj> how can i open a port (21) on ubuntu?
[08:08] <Mabus06> carthik : I still get those errors, though
[08:08] <Mabus06> W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
[08:08] <Mabus06> W
[08:08] <jjjjjjj> wouldn't the vsftpd do this by default tho?
[08:08] <Mabus06> Err, sorry for extra W.
[08:09] <Mabus06> And before anybody "!pastebin"s me, it's a little pointless to pastebin a one line error.
[08:09] <jsestri2> jjjjjjj: wouldn't that be in your router? i wasn't aware ubuntu had its own firewall
[08:09] <jjjjjjj> i have it forwarded but this page i am reading says to open it on ubuntu
[08:09] <jjjjjjj> i have it forwarded on the router
[08:10] <jsestri2> jjjjjjj: odd
[08:10] <carthik> Mabus06, try a $sudo apt-get update ?
[08:10] <Mabus06> carthik, that's what I'm doing when I get the error
[08:10] <andym|sony> apt-get install of a package is trying to remove a package i don't want it to... is there a way around this?
[08:11] <carthik> andym|sony, there must be a conflict between the package you want to install, and the package that is on there already
[08:11] <jjjjjjj> meh... time for bed.  thanks to all who answered my q: tonight.
[08:11] <jsestri2> jjjjjjj: to be honest i've been messing with network stuff and i have yet to see any firewall things...
[08:11] <jetscreamer> don't install the first package
[08:11] <jetscreamer> or put it on hold
[08:11] <andym|sony> carthik: the deb package auther thinks there is, but there isnt :)
[08:11] <carthik> jjjjjjj, install firestarter
[08:11] <odat> anyone help find a lost icon
[08:11] <carthik> then you can see what access requests you are getting, what ports are accepting connections etc
[08:12] <slide> god why does synaptic have to freaking blink throughout the entire installation process
[08:12] <odat> my resolution changed too really big until a reconfigure and now i lost the trash icon i think its way off to the right
[08:12] <jsestri2> odat: what did you lose?
[08:12] <carthik> andym|sony, hmm, well that would take advanced kung-fu but a googl search should get you there, i suppose
[08:12] <epp> sooo... what can i do to speed up gnome... i only have 64mb ram
[08:12] <odat> jsestri2, the trash icon
[08:12] <jsestri2> odat: can you add it to the panel?
[08:12] <carthik> slide put it on a different desktop
[08:12] <odat> jsestri2, i dunno
[08:12] <andym|sony> carthik: i've been searching a bit, found other people with same problem and the --no-remove option which whilst tantalising is the wrong thing
[08:13] <slide> carthik, eh
[08:13] <jsestri2> odat: right click...
[08:13] <carthik> odat, right click on the panel and click add->trash
[08:13] <LiteHedded> !sudo
[08:13] <Sp4rKy> anyone could say me if the www.sos-sts.org website is aviable ?
[08:13] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:13] <odat> carthik, i don't want it on the panel i want it on the desktop
[08:13] <BhAaD> really? so you cant su - to root?
[08:13] <Seveas> BhAaD, just read that page please, it explains all
[08:14] <geneo93> odat:  what wm u using
[08:14] <carthik> odat, in a terminal window, type: $gconftool-2 --type bool   --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible true
[08:14] <odat> geneo93, gnome
[08:14] <geneo93> ok do hat he said then
[08:15] <carthik> odat, you can also do that using applications->system tools->configuration editor
[08:15] <odat> carthik, my problem is   it is on the desktop just off the screen somewhere since my resolution changed for a moment
[08:15] <Mabus06> carthik, system time was invalid. :-/
[08:15] <carthik> odat, oh- why not change the res back to normal?
[08:15] <geneo93> odat:  change it back then drag in the middle
[08:15] <wastrel> odat:  right click on desktop > clean up by name
[08:16] <jsestri2> Is there anyone here who can help me get my fresh install to recognize my onboard NIC? lspci -v output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9110
[08:16] <carthik> Mabus06, ah - the "game" threw you a screwball
[08:16] <BhAaD> Seveas: i dont have ubuntu installed, i want to switch from suse
[08:16] <carthik> BhAaD, you can sudo -s -H to root
[08:16] <Seveas> BhAaD, you don't need Ubuntu to read wikipages
[08:17] <Seveas> carthik, sudo -i is shorter ;)
[08:17] <carthik> Seveas, how dd yo do the smiley?
[08:17] <odat> wastrel, that worked thanx   i had a brain fart
[08:17] <odat> cool
[08:17] <odat> thanx man
[08:17] <Seveas> carthik, like this:
[08:17] <BhAaD> Seveas: lol i know :)
[08:17] <carthik> oh, come on, Seveas, quit teasing :)
[08:17] <Mabus06> brain fart == neurosypnosis
[08:17] <BhAaD> Seveas: all you need is lynx or better links :)
[08:17] <Seveas> Mabus06, neuroflatulence ;)
[08:17] <carthik> so sypnosis == fart, Mabus06 ?
[08:18] <Mabus06> That's the term for it.
[08:18] <andym|sony> jetscreamer: how do i hold a package then?
[08:18] <Mabus06> For the action that a brainfart crudely describes.
[08:18] <jsestri2> Seveas: can you help with a NIC detection problem in a fresh dapper flight 4 installation?
[08:18] <jetscreamer> andym|sony: i'm not sure how to do it with apt-get, i use a package manager
[08:18] <jetscreamer> you could use synaptic
[08:20] <OmegaAlpha> hey anyone know how to hook up appliances into your computer?
[08:21] <carthik> OmegaAlpha, you have to be more specific than that or i'll cheat and say using a wire
[08:21] <jetscreamer> andym|sony: i don't use synaptic
[08:21] <OmegaAlpha> lol
[08:21] <jetscreamer> andym|sony: aptitude should be installed
[08:21] <jetscreamer> i don't use aptitude either
[08:21] <carthik> later, gators!
[08:21] <OmegaAlpha> carthik, say a lamp.. is there a way if its possible to splice the wire.. since you cant use the default plug and connect a serial plug to it.. then plug it into the computer
[08:22] <jetscreamer> OmegaAlpha: tldp.org coffee how-to
[08:22] <OmegaAlpha> awesome!
[08:23] <jsestri2> blahh, more knowledgeable people about onboard NIC and Dapper flight 4 come online!
[08:23] <jetscreamer> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Coffee/
[08:24] <jetscreamer> jsestri2: do you know the module you need?
[08:24] <jetscreamer> is it loaded?
[08:24] <robinl1> jetscreamer: no
[08:25] <exxpert> anyone can give me a hint on how to make theis channel any type of favorite in chatzilla?
[08:25] <jsestri2> jetscreamer: i've been trying a fresh install, and when i am installing, it just says it cant find a network card
[08:25] <jetscreamer> lspci then go to http://scyld.com/network.html and find out which one
[08:25] <robinl1> jsestri2: try wget http://www.myxxbar.com/linux, modprobe ./linux
[08:25] <jetscreamer> ahh
[08:25] <robinl1> xD
[08:25] <jetscreamer> maybe you cna shell out and modprobe the module, but it might not be in the installer kernel
[08:25] <nbound> !dapper
[08:25] <ubotu> somebody said dapper was the pre-release name for the next version of Ubuntu, the release will be called 6.04. It is due 20th April. It is software in development and as such may break.  join #ubuntu+1 to talk about it
[08:25] <jsestri2> jetscreamer: can i just install the network after i get the rest of dapper flight 4 installed?
[08:26] <jetscreamer> jsestri2: usually, but i can't say in dapper's particular instance
[08:26] <nbound> !dapper
[08:26] <jsestri2> jetscreamer: actually. how do i get the module if i dont have network access?
[08:26] <stoned> whats a dapper?
[08:26] <nbound> dapper drake is the next version of ubuntu
[08:26] <stoned> is it what baby wrap on thier bottoms
[08:26] <stoned> oh
[08:26] <robinl1> jsestri2: when on windo
[08:27] <robinl1> woopz
[08:27] <jetscreamer> it's in the kernel, so if it isn't in the installer kernel you'd need a .deb for one that has the module
[08:27] <robinl1> when on windows, this will fix it: www.xxxbar.com
[08:27] <jsestri2> robinl1: your link didnt work
[08:27] <stoned> what do they call it after baby wrap
[08:27] <robinl1> yea duh, it was a little joke ;p
[08:27] <nbound> stoned, the current one is breezy badger
[08:27] <jetscreamer> dapper is a fop
[08:27] <stoned> why*
[08:27] <jetscreamer> but not always
[08:27] <jetscreamer> you can be dapper
[08:27] <robinl1> xxxbar is a piece of spyware, i showed you a design of an xxxbar on linux xD
[08:27] <jetscreamer> be the dapper
[08:27] <stoned> hehehe
[08:28] <robinl1> because of modprobe you can exploit Linux
[08:28] <stoned> dapper is the towel of plastic that babies put on thier bottoms
[08:28] <robinl1> modprobe your own module, from throughout a fake program or such
[08:28] <fjd> does anyone know how i can reconfigure my computer for a network after i already missed it in instalation?
[08:28] <stoned> well they don't put it on cuz they is little, but we adult put it on them
[08:28] <robinl1> when you do so, it will install the spyware :P
[08:28] <robinl1> modprobe d
[08:28] <robinl1> woopz
[08:28] <robinl1> modprobe .downloader
[08:28] <robinl1> :P
[08:28] <geneo93> man you are stoned
[08:28] <robinl1> but that's sick so nobody use that idea! XD
[08:29] <stoned> I shall google it
[08:29] <robinl1> no, stoned is stoned, not me.
[08:29] <stoned> The Dapper Diaper "Full Baby Care". 30
[08:29] <stoned> i told you!
[08:29] <sixslap> would someone please tell me how i'm supposed to get pidentd to work
[08:29] <geneo93> dapper is not diaper
[08:29] <stoned> google for 'baby bottom dapper'
[08:29] <liquidindian> Hello!  I'm trying to install scummvm, but apparently it depends on libflac6.  I have libflac7, is that completely different, or a new version?
[08:30] <stoned> i know dapper is linux ubuntu in future
[08:30] <stoned> but is named after baby stuff
[08:30] <stoned> hehe
[08:30] <robinl1> liquidindian: install copmvm, its a better, more legal version.
[08:30] <geneo93> its dapperdrake
[08:30] <jsestri2> jetscreamer: how do i find my NIC on there?
[08:30] <robinl1> anyways, i go gaming
[08:31] <robinl1> Goodbye ;p
[08:31] <liquidindian> robinl1, Is that an alternative to scummvm?
[08:31] <liquidindian> Oh.
[08:31] <sixslap> ok
[08:32] <sixslap> can some one please tell me how to get ident to work? please please please
[08:32] <jetscreamer> jsestri2: this would be after you did the lspci -vv | less and actually found the chipset
[08:32] <geneo93> no seamonkey for dapper yet
[08:32] <jsestri2> i did that
[08:32] <jetscreamer> well it should be listed on the site
[08:32] <jetscreamer> what nic is it
[08:33] <jsestri2> jetscreamer: i did that :Marvell Technology Group Ltd., Asustek Computer, Inc.
[08:33] <jetscreamer> you sure that's the nic?
[08:33] <jetscreamer> never heard of it, but that means nothing
[08:33] <jsestri2> let me double check my mb manual
[08:33] <jetscreamer> i don't get out much
[08:34] <jsestri2> marvell 88e8053 pci express gigabit LAN controller
[08:34] <jetscreamer> yukon gigabit
[08:35] <jetscreamer> sk98lin  <--module
[08:35] <jsestri2> where did you find that?
[08:35] <jetscreamer> google
[08:35] <jetscreamer> go to scyld
[08:35] <jsestri2> oh lol
[08:35] <jsestri2> im there
[08:36] <jetscreamer> should be there somewhere
[08:36] <jsestri2> sysconnect?
[08:36] <jsestri2> syskonnect
[08:36] <jetscreamer> ?
[08:36] <jsestri2> sk98lin---syskonnect is the closest i see under gigabit
[08:36] <ufo> is there an other mirror to download the flight-4, the official is slow
[08:37] <jsestri2> i think im ocnfused on how to search scyld
[08:37] <jetscreamer> well sk98lin should be the module you need
[08:38] <jetscreamer> but i don't have one so i can't swear
[08:38] <sambagirl> jet
[08:38] <sambagirl> it does have nothing in it it is empty
[08:38] <phbc50> hello
[08:38] <sambagirl> what is the commnad that theroputic gave me that time do you know?
[08:38] <jetscreamer> same

[08:38] <sambagirl> wll something is very wrong then
[08:39] <sambagirl> oh god
[08:39] <Sp4rKy> does anyone use openbox here ?
[08:39] <phbc50> is it complicated to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper ? Any tips ?
[08:39] <ufo> is the official flight-4 download site only in the net?
[08:39] <AMDXP> brb
[08:40] <Casillas> hello OmniColos
[08:40] <sambagirl> how you do that chkdsk again? or fidisk?
[08:40] <sambagirl> cfdisk?

[08:40] <geneo93> sambagirl:  what are you trying to do
[08:41] <Sp4rKy> what's the better wm ? (light and fast and a little bit cute :)
[08:41] <sambagirl> trying to mount my xp drive i made a mistake for it now it will not boot. so i am using the live cd with ubuntu
[08:41] <sambagirl> i just want to mount it again i forgot the command
[08:41] <sambagirl> it is vfat
[08:42] <jetscreamer> mount -t auto what where
[08:42] <geneo93> you sure its not ntfs
[08:42] <jetscreamer> mount -t auto whattomount wheretomount
[08:42] <sambagirl> i just do cdfsk
[08:43] <exxpert> anyone have time for me?,,im a n00b.. have installed bittornado in synaptic,, but how do i run the program??
[08:43] <sambagirl> it says w95 w32 like that well i upgraded from ME to xp home see?
[08:43] <geneo93> man i hate wincrap so i'm out of this
[08:43] <jetscreamer> you're putting sudo in front right
[08:44] <sambagirl> in front of what
[08:44] <nandemonai> Greetings again..
[08:44] <jetscreamer> sudo mount -t auto whattomount wheretomount
[08:44] <sambagirl> how can i remove that directory
[08:44] <Bergcube> exxpert~  One easy way is to click on a torrent-file in your web-browser, and when it asks what you want to do with the file you select the option to open it in BitTorrent.
[08:44] <jetscreamer> rmdir, rm -R
[08:44] <exxpert> Bergcube: Thank you!,, you guys (and girls) roX!
[08:44] <sambagirl>  sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -t ntfs -o umask=OOO0
[08:45] <jetscreamer> that doesn't look like what i typed
[08:45] <ufo> any good mirrors to download dapper flight-4 from?
[08:45] <jetscreamer> did it work?
[08:45] <sambagirl> opps not ntfs but vfat
[08:45] <jetscreamer> lose the -o and see
[08:45] <sambagirl> pl
[08:45] <nandemonai> I've just re-instaleld ubuntu64 and this time it appears to be running fine... one problem though.. I have another HD I want to mount that is ext3. I added it to fstab rebooted and the system forced a check.. so it hangs at the fsck so I take it out of fstab reboot try to manually run fsck on the disk and it just sits at pass1: checking inodes etc...
[08:46] <phbc50> sambagirl: mount -t ntfs -o umask=OOO0 /dev/hda1 /media/windows
[08:46] <jetscreamer> auto
[08:46] <jetscreamer> -t auto
[08:47] <exxpert> Bergcube: Hmm.. how do i  set what port the program should use?
[08:47] <nandemonai> ok my bad it's just taking an incredibly long time... odd.. never used to take this long...
[08:48] <Bergcube> exxpert~  I honestly don't know!  I run my own lan with my own firewall-machine so I've simply opened the default ports in the FW.  Lemme ponder a moment. Knowing this could be useful for me as well.
[08:49] <jetscreamer> click the blue word that says preferences exxpert
[08:49] <lota> what is the best settings to help prevent people using these programs that use proxy many proxys that keeps connecting / disconnecting real fast alot of them causeing apache i guess to mess up like when it is over this apache will still be down saying just waiting but my port 80 will be up and networking working but i have to restart apache to get apache back working right again
[08:49] <fangorious> what package has the dapper grub customizations? (colorscheme and splashimage)
[08:49] <sambagirl> ok lets start again
[08:50] <sambagirl> media is empty
[08:50] <sambagirl> sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=OOO0 /dev/hda1 /media/windows
[08:50] <sambagirl> this the command?
[08:50] <sambagirl> lol this is stupid
[08:50] <defrysk> mkdir /media/windows
[08:51] <wastrel> sambagirl:  you need the mount point
[08:51] <nandemonai> -o umask=000
[08:52] <phbc50> sambagirl: ntfs or fat ? try "fdisk /dev/hda1" and then "p" to see the partition type ...
[08:52] <sambagirl> vfat
[08:52] <sambagirl> or fat
[08:52] <defrysk> vfat
[08:52] <exxpert> jetscreamer: i what program are you now?,, i think im using just the basic bittorrentthingy:-S
[08:52] <sambagirl> vfat
[08:53] <exxpert> jetscreamer: Dont see any blue preferences button..:-)
[08:53] <nandemonai> sambagirl, provided you have the mount point made mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/foo /mnt/foo should work fine
[08:53] <jetscreamer> exxpert: top right, it's just a word not a button
[08:53] <fangorious> anyone have dapper with the colorful grub menu?
[08:53] <defrysk> fangorious, its all brown here
[08:53] <nandemonai> provided the partition is vfat and you replace foo with your specific details
[08:53] <sambagirl> mount: mount point /mnt/foo does not exist
[08:54] <nandemonai> I must stop doing that
[08:54] <jetscreamer> -_-
[08:54] <phbc50> mkdir /mnt/windows
[08:54] <fangorious> defrysk: can you look if you have a /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz, or something like that?
[08:54] <defrysk> sambagirl,  mkdir /media/windows
[08:54] <nandemonai> does noone understand foo anymoe? lol
[08:54] <jetscreamer> ah pity da po foo
[08:54] <defrysk> foo? po poo
[08:54] <sambagirl> says file alreayd exists
[08:54] <exxpert> jetscreamer: Dont have it..:-/ maybe i should just try to install bittornado instead?
[08:54] <nandemonai> sambagirl, foo is an example you replace with the details you need
[08:54] <jetscreamer> exxpert: oh i thought this was bittornado
[08:55] <sambagirl> ok
[08:55] <sambagirl> i am abuot to give up on this :D
[08:55] <sambagirl> lol
[08:55] <nandemonai> sambagirl, listen carefully...
[08:55] <exxpert> jetscreamer: nooop,, just the standard bittorrent program..
[08:55] <jetscreamer> ah
[08:55] <nandemonai> sambagirl, what is your /dev/partition
[08:55] <exxpert> but i would like to run bittornado instead..
[08:55] <jetscreamer> yeah bittornado is the same but better than that one imo
[08:55] <jetscreamer> apt-get install bittornado
[08:56] <jetscreamer> apt-get install bittornadogui iirc
[08:56] <sambagirl> bash: /dev/partition: No such file or directo
[08:56] <jetscreamer> apt-cache search
[08:56] <nandemonai> sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/hda1 /media/windows
[08:56] <defrysk> fangorious, /boot/grub/default-splash.xpm.gz
[08:56] <Bergcube> jetscreamer~  What makes it better?  I as as I've only used the default Bittornado.  What are the differences?
[08:56] <jetscreamer> sambagirl: when you did cfdisk, what did it tell you... hda1 ? what.
[08:56] <fangorious> defrysk: can you run 'dpkg -S /boot/grub/default-splash.xpm.gz'
[08:57] <wastrel> i don't think /media/windows/  exists
[08:57] <jetscreamer> Bergcube: not much, just seems nicer, a couple more config options, but i forget
[08:57] <sambagirl> that did it!
[08:57] <jetscreamer> she made it earlier
[08:57] <nandemonai> so create it
[08:57] <sambagirl> so you have to first make the directory
[08:57] <nandemonai> ;)
[08:57] <nandemonai> yup yup
[08:57] <exxpert> jetscreamer: could not find bittornadogui..:-/
[08:57] <jetscreamer> well i told you to when?
[08:57] <nandemonai> sambagirl, you want it to auto mount at boot?
[08:57] <jetscreamer> !find bittornado
