[03:53] <sethk> john, each editor has a different command for deletion.  If you are using nano, you can just put your cursor on the first character of the line and use the delete key.
[03:53] <Sktfeelsdapper> The launcher crap doesn't work.
[03:53] <keegan> Make a launcher so you don't have to type ./nicotine
[03:54] <ArrenLex> Skt: "./nicotine" just says RUN NICOTINE just like double-clicking on the program in your dekstop does.
[03:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> I tried that alright, it does not work.
[03:54] <david> wicekd puppy, it still doesn't have write permissions
[03:54] <sethk> nano, or as wicketpuppy said putting the cursor on the next line and using backspace
[03:54] <ArrenLex> Skt: "does not work" means what error?
[03:54] <john> sethk, I am using terminal - what command do I put in?
[03:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> As in it loads up the FILE I used to MAKE the launcer.
[03:54] <mike__> Help, I can't connect to my server using Internal IP 192.168.x.x only using External IP adress, all other computers(Windows, MacOS, Linux) on network can connect to server, any ideas?
[03:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> launcher.
[03:54] <wickedpuppy> david, type wick and press tab .. that will spell my nick wickedpuppy ... and what did you do after saving the file ?
[03:54] <keegan> did you do /path/to/file/./nicotine
[03:54] <ArrenLex> /info Omar
[03:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> Sure did.
[03:55] <ArrenLex> Dammit!
[03:55] <JoshIRL> Can someone help me with media?
[03:55] <ArrenLex> Stupid commands.
[03:55] <keegan> Do it open if you just do ./nicotine?
[03:55] <david> wickedpuppy: rebooted my system
[03:55] <Sktfeelsdapper> I haven't tried that but I'm sure it won't.
[03:55] <anto9us> john, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:55] <wickedpuppy> david, are they mounted ? type mount in command line
[03:55] <thewheat> !mac
[03:55] <ArrenLex> Omar: what does it tell you if you try the command I gave you?
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mac - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:55] <Phuzion> How do I upgrade from 5.04 to latest?
[03:56] <keegan> When you are in the directory and you type ./nicotine does it load up?
[03:56] <finalbeta> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft/Beta
[03:56] <john> THANKYOU
[03:56] <JoshIRL> I'm trying to play a .avi movie in the default application, which is movie player. It sais You don't not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the neccesary plugins. Where do i get the plugins?
[03:56] <Sktfeelsdapper> MP{E
[03:56] <anto9us> john, you're welcome :)
[03:56] <Sktfeelsdapper> Nope. Launcher doesn't work.
[03:56] <HellDragon> bon je doit aller passer l'aspirateur dans la piscine
[03:56] <HellDragon> wrong window
[03:56] <HellDragon> lol
[03:56] <Sktfeelsdapper> put path to file ./nicotine
[03:56] <wickedpuppy> JoshIRL, get vlc player .. it will play most formats
[03:56] <Madpilot> !fr
[03:56] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:56] <HellDragon> channel tab is evl :(
[03:56] <JoshIRL> I tried, i don't get the instructions to download it lol
[03:56] <HellDragon> evil*
[03:56] <JoshIRL> I'm new to linux
[03:57] <david> wickedpuppy: typing mount indicates that it is mounted with rw but i can't copy filles to my ntfs or fat32 partitions
[03:57] <wickedpuppy> JoshIRL, go to synaptic and find it there
[03:57] <JoshIRL> ok
[03:57] <Sktfeelsdapper> nope that doesn't work either.
[03:57] <john> GOT ANOTHER PROBLEM lol
[03:57] <SAM_theman> you guys how iremove xgl
[03:57] <wickedpuppy> david, use sudo ?
[03:57] <wickedpuppy> john, no caps pls
[03:57] <keegan> Do you have the depencies for it?
[03:57] <john> lol - sorry
[03:58] <Phuzion> I want to upgrade from 5.04 to the latest stable version, how do I go about doing so?
[03:58] <fluvvell> how do I tell network manager to re-scan for wireless networks?
[03:58] <john> no - I just deleted the problem line
[03:58] <wickedpuppy> !upgrade
[03:58] <ubotu> Upgrading, please see the instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:58] <JoshIRL> Wicked_Puppy: How do i 'find it in there" ? :x
[03:58] <david> wickedpuppy no, i didn't try sudo cp, is that what you mean?
[03:58] <wickedpuppy> JoshIRL, there is a search button
[03:58] <Sktfeelsdapper> Still nothing.
[03:58] <wickedpuppy> david, yes ... you didn't mount them with user option
[03:59] <Sktfeelsdapper> This is a load of...
[03:59] <Sktfeelsdapper> Seriously.
[03:59] <wickedpuppy> so i am thinking it is mounted as root
[03:59] <JoshIRL> Ah, good to see i'm completely blind :D
[03:59] <wickedpuppy> JoshIRL, and i suppose you got universe/multiverse repos ?
[03:59] <david> wickedpuppy:  should i try putting user rw for my options?
[03:59] <JoshIRL> :|
[03:59] <minerale> I am trying to compile the ratpoison pakcage, and ./configure tells me it can't find the "X11 headers and libs" -- anyone know the package for those ?
[04:00] <wickedpuppy> david, yes i would says yes ... put user,rw
[04:00] <keegan> I got Nicotine+ up and running
[04:00] <keegan> python-gtk2 python-pyvorbis
[04:00] <john> I have here the .tar.bz2 package for a movie editor - who can tell me how to install it?
[04:00] <keegan> you install both of those?
[04:00] <Sktfeelsdapper> sure did
[04:00] <wickedpuppy> john, is that movie editor not in the repo ?
[04:00] <anto9us> john, is it not one that's in the repositories?
[04:00] <mike__> Help, I can't connect to my server using Internal IP 192.168.x.x only using External IP adress from my ubuntu 06 computer, all other computers(Windows, MacOS, Linux) on network can connect to server, any ideas?
[04:00] <keegan> I dunno know then man...I'm stuck
[04:00] <Phuzion> I am not using a desktop manager, do I still need to have one installed in order to upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06?
[04:00] <wickedpuppy> i think we wont want to go into compiling stuff again
[04:00] <Sktfeelsdapper> I can get it up and running that's not the problem, is it possible to compile it into an actual program i don't have to go to the command line to use?
[04:00] <keegan> Wait 3 more weeks and the new Nicotine will be in the edgy repos
[04:01] <john> no, its not, it is calledcinelerra
[04:01] <sethk> john, start by extracting the files from the tar archive
[04:01] <ArrenLex> Skt: you don't have to go into the command line to use it. Make a shortcut to your desktop.
[04:01] <anto9us> mike__, do the other clients have the same numbering scheme and subnet mask? Can you ping the server?
[04:01] <john> done
[04:02] <sethk> john, ok, change to the directory where you just extracted the files
[04:02] <john> before I do that - do you recomend a different program than terminal for those comands?
[04:03] <wickedpuppy> john, nautilus ?
[04:03] <wickedpuppy> :P
[04:03] <sethk> john, for compiling, no
[04:03] <sethk> john, if you aren't comfortable with using the command line, you probably don't want to install from source.
[04:04] <john> do I have any other option for those types of installations?
[04:04] <SinnerG> nice, atm I got a script that installs webmin, install quota (not enabled it yet), wget apache 2.0* and install it AND generate a self signed certificate =)
[04:04] <SinnerG> first bash script I ever make :p
[04:04] <mike__> anto9us: Yes i can ping it, and connect fine too it using the external IP or the doman name i got pointing to my external IP, but not the internal. Yes the other computers have the same schme i think..
[04:04] <Hoovey> How do I force ubuntu into 1280x1024?
[04:04] <sethk> john, I'm not sure what other option might exist.  what are you thinking might exist?
[04:05] <john> I double click on it and it does it for me?
[04:05] <sethk> SinnerG, good.  actually it's a korn shell script.  bash is compatible with korn shell syntax.
[04:05] <SinnerG> ow ok :)
[04:05] <sethk> john, in this context that makes no sense.
[04:05] <s0n1> hi
[04:05] <s0n1> why i change init screen ubuntu edgy eft ?
[04:05] <john> sethk, is debian similar to ubuntu
[04:06] <RawSewage> is there any way to fix this annoyance:  right-clicking something usually requires some twitch skill, because when you right-click, it usually blinks on and off really fast, so you have to try it multiple times, or hold down the right-click and be tricky
[04:06] <RawSewage> [02:03]  <RawSewage> does that make sense
[04:06] <SinnerG> I'm working on a hosting 'backend' and when for example a server dies, I need a fast way to reinstall another server with everything I need : thats why I started on this script :)
[04:06] <john> sethk, ?
[04:06] <mike__> anto9us: I have dual bot, and when i bot up the windows i can connect to the server via internal IP 192.168.x.x . Every computer on the network uses DHCP
[04:06] <xplic1t> john, yes
[04:06] <Hoovey> how do i like, force ubuntu into 1280x1024?
[04:06] <anto9us> mike__, would be an idea checking and verifying your setup against something that's known to work, also check firewall on server for what ranges it allows and whether you're in it
[04:06] <xplic1t> ubuntu is derived from debian
[04:07] <JoshIRL> I downloaded vlc and installed it, I can't find it. lol
[04:07] <anto9us> mike__, what service are you trying to connect to? Samba?
[04:07] <mike__> anto9us: http, samba, ftp, ssh
[04:08] <JoshIRL> oo nvm
[04:08] <anto9us> mike__, and nothing works?
[04:08] <JoshIRL> How do you change the default application to open certain formats with?
[04:08] <JoshIRL> Such as avi, mpg, whatever.
[04:08] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Hoovey about fixres
[04:09] <Madpilot> JoshIRL, right click on a .avi file, choose "Properties" then the Open With... tab
[04:09] <mike__> anto9us: no works... only ping, all works via example.mydoman.com or external IP, i have the same ipadress in windows and everything works there
[04:09] <sethk> john, they are both linux distributions.  all linux distributions are essentially similar
[04:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[04:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> That's what I'm getting.
[04:09] <anto9us> mike__, sorry to go for the obvious but have you verified the ip address of the server?
[04:10] <john> sethk, which version of liux do you recomend for gaming?
[04:10] <Madpilot> Sktfeelsdapper, with what *exact* command?
[04:10] <john> sethk, linux?
[04:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> make
[04:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> JUST make.
[04:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> i've read man make
[04:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> that's not even a help
[04:10] <zenwhen-lt> Sktfeelsdapper, did you run ./configure ?
[04:10] <mike__> anto9us: Don't be =)  Yes i have, i can ping it and ssh it from and other ubuntu machine next to me
[04:11] <mike1980> on install i am getting error VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,3) can anyone help please
[04:11] <Sktfeelsdapper> that says no such file or directory
[04:11] <zenwhen-lt> you are in the right dir?
[04:11] <zenwhen-lt> what are you compiling?
[04:11] <zenwhen-lt> ill download and compile it
[04:11] <mcdonaldsguy> my ethernet card is accumulating rx errors.. I've checked my duplex and speed settings, and they look ok, and dmesg doesn't show any strange output.. is there any utility or place I should I look to get more debug info?
[04:11] <anto9us> mike__, does route command show same output on both those machines?
[04:12] <Sktfeelsdapper> nicotine+
[04:12] <sethk> john, sorry, I don't game so I have no opinion
[04:12] <Sktfeelsdapper> is there or is there not a way to make it into a program that you can put on the desktop?
[04:12] <RawSewage> Does anyone have a problem where:  you right-click something, and you see the right-click menu for a brief instant before it disappears
[04:12] <Sktfeelsdapper> without having to go to the command line?
[04:13] <mike1980> on install i am getting error VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,3) can anyone help please
[04:13] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, you've been told not only that it's possible, but exactly how to do it, at least 10 times.  So please stop trolling.
[04:13] <mike__> anto9us: Yes, this is getting to me :/  It has worked on this computer. Just stoped today... have no clue
[04:13] <nikon> where can i get help on networking between windows and linux? i have googled many times and haven't found any useful links
[04:14] <Sktfeelsdapper> I'm not trolling and nobody has told me anything accept that they can do it some mysterious way and I can't!
[04:14] <john> Does anyone have any knowledge on the different linux builds and thus can recomend a build for gaming and high proformance work?
[04:14] <Dr_willis> nikon,  havent read the 'using samba book' thats aviliable online eh? :P
[04:14] <cafuego> nikon: google for 'samba'.
[04:14] <rpedro> Sktfeelsdapper: nicotine+ is a python program
[04:14] <nikon> thnxs
[04:14] <nikon> ill try that
[04:14] <anto9us> mike__, I'll get a cup of tea and let you know if I come up with any more ideas
[04:14] <Sktfeelsdapper> so in other words you can't?
[04:14] <rpedro> Sktfeelsdapper: so, no need to compile it, just create a desktop shortcut
[04:14] <Sktfeelsdapper> but i tried that.
[04:14] <Sktfeelsdapper> and it DOESNT work.
[04:14] <Dr_willis> nikon,  :) in short - install samba, setup a samba password for the linux users with 'sudo smbpasswd -a LINUXUSER' restart the samba servers,,  have windows try to connect.
[04:14] <zenwhen-lt> Sktfeelsdapper, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196835
[04:14] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, works for me
[04:14] <Sktfeelsdapper> it's in /home/skt/nicotine+-1.2.51/
[04:14] <zenwhen-lt> did you try that
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> Yes I have.
[04:15] <zenwhen-lt> where did it fail
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> WHen I click it.
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> On the desktop
[04:15] <mike__> anto9us: Thanks =)  This is so strange
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> It doesn't do anything.
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> It just sits there.
[04:15] <zenwhen-lt> oh
[04:15] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, yesterday, when I was working with you, when you finally admitted that you had the directory name wrong, you had the path differently.  Of course you may have been wrong then, or you may be wrong now, or both.
[04:15] <rixth> ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build libipoddevice   were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden   macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your   ACLOCAL_FLAGS? <<<<<<< what am I missing?
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> so it would be /home/skt/nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS>/./nicotine
[04:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> am i right?
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> yes but since then I know where i'm at, seth.
[04:16] <anto9us> mike__, does ssh localhost work?
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> and i know where I put it.
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> and i can get to it now.
[04:16] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, ok, you can write a line on the command line that starts the program?
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> yes
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> but i want to use the desktop.
[04:16] <anto9us> mike__, that's assuming you're running local ssh server
[04:16] <Phocion> hey all....I just partitioned a drive in fdisk with an FS of "Linux" - is this ext3 by default?
[04:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> i want to make a launcher for it.
[04:16] <mike__> anto9us: You mean: ssh localhost on the internal server or my defect ubuntu
[04:16] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, put that line into the command field in the launcher
[04:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> i have!
[04:17] <Phocion> cuz "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /mnt/point" doesn't work
[04:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> it doesn't work!
[04:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> is there suppose to be a space between / ./?
[04:17] <anto9us> mike__, defect machine, you've tested the server from another client, yes?
[04:17] <SOjourner> hello, whenever i try to open GAIM or Mozilla firefox it automatically crashes back to my desktop, can anyone help?
[04:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> do i have to put skt@skt?
[04:17] <Dr_willis> mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb  <-- is wrong.  try hdb1 hdb2 hdb4 ect....
[04:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> or root or anything?
[04:17] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, there shouldn't be anything on that line that has the form   / ./      not with a space, and not without one.
[04:17] <Phocion> ooo 1 sec
[04:17] <mike__> anto9us: Yes, just started the sshd and ssh localhost sucess
[04:18] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, perhaps you should tell us the line you are typing.
[04:18] <SOjourner> hello, whenever i try to open GAIM or Mozilla firefox it automatically crashes back to my desktop, can anyone help?
[04:18] <Dr_willis> Phocion,  after fdisking - you need to Format the drive... plux the mount point has to exist befor you mount.
[04:18] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, if you have a line that works at the command prompt, _paste_ it into the launcher
[04:18] <anto9us> mike__, tried a different port on the hub/switch?
[04:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> home/skt
[04:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> it won't let me show you the line!
[04:18] <nathanael> Anyone running in Parallels right now?
[04:19] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, it won't let you.  what won't let you?
[04:19] <Phocion> ok cool got it
[04:19] <Phocion> mount -t auto /dev/hdb1 /mnt/media
[04:19] <Phocion> works
[04:19] <Sktfeelsdapper> koversation
[04:19] <Sktfeelsdapper> it won't le me type in what i want to show you
[04:19] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, then put it on the paste site, and give us the url to it.
[04:19] <Sktfeelsdapper> what's the paste site?
[04:20] <Sktfeelsdapper> !pastebin
[04:20] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[04:20] <sethk> Sktfeelsdapper, although very likely all you have to do is put a few spaces at the beginning so it doesn't think you are running an IRC command
[04:20] <jdrake> Is there a way to boot the install cdrom, but have it get everything from a server rather than from the cd?
[04:20] <anto9us> mike__, don't forget to 'exit' your ssh session
[04:20] <Sktfeelsdapper> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25458/
[04:20] <Sktfeelsdapper> THAT is what I'm putting in.
[04:20] <mike__> anto9us: Yes, no such luck :/
[04:20] <THX-1138> !install
[04:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[04:21] <Sktfeelsdapper> do i have to have the terminal up to run the launcher?
[04:21] <anto9us> mike__, check the hosts file in the other client machine and compare
[04:21] <RawSewage> Does anyone have a problem where:  you right-click something, and you see the right-click menu for a brief instant before it disappears
[04:22] <Arafangion> RawSewage: No, unless you're right-clicking twice.
[04:22] <SOjourner> hello, can anyone help me with my programs terminating shortly after they open??
[04:22] <Sktfeelsdapper> Did you get that paste thing?
[04:22] <RawSewage> Arafangion, ok ty
[04:22] <lostboyz> whenever i send my webcam in amsn it says canceled why can't i send it? my cam is working and i see my face in camorama and everything
[04:22] <Zarephath> Hey anyone know about a program called maestro for viewing nasa pictures?
[04:22] <jdrake> I see the option to do a network boot using etherboot and tftp, that is not what I want. The only thing I have seen reference to is making 'stage 1'  fail, for it to give you a list of bot options - I do not know how to ensure this.
[04:23] <SOjourner> hello, can anyone help me with my programs terminating shortly after they open??
[04:23] <mike__> anto9us: The, same
[04:23] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: You might as well paste one or two liners here.
[04:23] <mike__> anto9us: The same.
[04:23] <slopz[away] > SOjourner, you should run them from terminal to see what errors come up
[04:23] <anto9us> mike__, you have just one NIC in the computer?
[04:23] <Lam_> i need help getting my HP laptop with a Radeon X200M work with a proprietary linux driver
[04:23] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: In any case, that doesn't fully describe the problem you are having.
[04:23] <Zarephath> !pocketpc
[04:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pocketpc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:23] <Sktfeelsdapper> i'm trying to make a launcher.
[04:23] <SOjourner> i'll give it a shot
[04:23] <mike__> anto9us: 2, wireless and wired
[04:23] <Sktfeelsdapper> so i don't have to go to the command line every time i run nicotine+
[04:24] <THX-1138> SOjourner: strace your_program name ???
[04:24] <Sktfeelsdapper> but that doesn't work.
[04:24] <anto9us> mike__, make sure just one is enabled
[04:24] <SOjourner> thx-1138: firefox and gaim
[04:24] <rpedro> !enter
[04:24] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[04:24] <rpedro> Sktfeelsdapper: for you ^^
[04:24] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Open a terminal, and then cut&paste that line verbatim and hit enter.
[04:24] <SOjourner> this is what i get when i try to run firefox from termnial
[04:24] <mike__> anto9us: i have disabled eth1(wireless)
[04:24] <Sktfeelsdapper> For me?
[04:24] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Yes.
[04:24] <anto9us> mike__, any success now?
[04:24] <SOjourner> INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
[04:24] <Madpilot> Sktfeelsdapper, the !enter thing - please don't use Enter as punctuation...
[04:24] <Sktfeelsdapper> Ok, that doesn't work for me.
[04:25] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: There's your problem.
[04:25] <Sktfeelsdapper> But it has worked for me before
[04:25] <Arafangion> Madpilot: Sktfeelsdapper doesn't use enter as punctuation.
[04:25] <Sktfeelsdapper> Yah I don't know how I use puncutation?
[04:25] <Sktfeelsdapper> Err enter
[04:25] <Dr_willis> Lam_,  i just followed the !ati wiki page and the x200m in my laptop towkrd.
[04:25] <mike__> anto9us: no :/
[04:25] <Dr_willis> !ati
[04:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:26] <anto9us> mike__, disable and re-enable eth0
[04:26] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: What happens if you type: /home/skt/nicotine+<tab>/nic<tab>
[04:26] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: I'm guessing you've made a small typo.
[04:26] <Sktfeelsdapper> nothing.
[04:26] <slopz[away] > SOjourner, you should search that error in the ubuntu forums, i'm sure you'll find something useful
[04:26] <Lam_> Dr_willis: hopefully it'll work. i've tried 3 different driver versions and switched UMA on and off with no luck
[04:26] <SOjourner> when i try to initiate firefox, this is what i get INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
[04:26] <Sktfeelsdapper> Tab doesn't do anything.
[04:27] <ACU> guys I am lost - I installed and configure a ftp based on proftp - If I access it through firefox ftp://localhost I can see it. Question how can I make a directory and drop some files in there?
[04:27] <SOjourner> i cant get to the ubunt forums because I dont have a browser
[04:27] <andycap_> hi, I have a problem
[04:27] <mike__> anto9us: Thanks, I'm gonna try that now, I'll be right back. Im useing eth0
[04:27] <slopz[away] > SOjourner, you can't use the gnome default browser either?
[04:27] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Try hitting it twice, and see what alternatives it provides.
[04:27] <anto9us> mike__, ok
[04:27] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Just make sure you really are typing the _correct_ path and program name.
[04:27] <Sktfeelsdapper> nothing!
[04:27] <PyroMithrandir> anyone know of a command that would be like lsof, but in real time. I want to have it running and when a file is opened, I want the program to tell me
[04:27] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Do you even have the directory "nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS>" in your home directory?
[04:28] <andycap_> I installed a game and when choosing the installation directory, I tried choosing z(the ubuntu directory) but it wouldn't let me
[04:28] <Dr_willis> Lam_,  mine just worked... i was suprised. :P
[04:28] <andycap_> so it was installed in c:
[04:28] <andycap_> is there a way to play off of the c: drive?
[04:28] <slopz[away] > c: drive?
[04:28] <Arafangion> andycap_: In wine?
[04:28] <andycap_> wine?
[04:28] <Sktfeelsdapper> no it's in my skt directory
[04:28] <Sktfeelsdapper> it's in home/skt
[04:29] <Dr_willis> andycap_,  linux dont use C: and Z: letters... so you are confusing us.
[04:29] <Arafangion> andycap_: How did you install a game into "C: Drive"?
[04:29] <Arafangion> andycap_: Linux doesn't even have a _concept_ of drive letters.
[04:29] <andycap_> well it was an .exe file from the internet
[04:29] <ash211> wine creates a virtual c drive in ~/.wine/drive_c

[04:30] <wickedpuppy> andycap_, which wise man told ya linux can run .exe ?
[04:30] <andycap_> so how can I get it on linux?
[04:30] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[04:30] <Dr_willis> !wine
[04:30] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:30] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: /home is where all the various home directories for the various users are stored.
[04:30] <Dr_willis> andycap_,  it MIGHT work with wine
[04:30] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Your "home" is therefore /home/skt
[04:30] <ACU> how can I create and drop files on a ftp server?
[04:30] <andycap_> cool, thanks guys!
[04:30] <Sktfeelsdapper> now i am really confused.
[04:31] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Mac OS X puts home directories in /Users/user_name instead.
[04:31] <THX-1138> ACU - put command get is get those files
[04:31] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Does that make it easier?
[04:31] <THX-1138> !ftp
[04:31] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[04:31] <Sktfeelsdapper> so it would just be skt?
[04:31] <wickedpuppy> Sktfeelsdapper, if your username is "someone" then your home , also known as ~ , is /home/someone
[04:31] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: In your case it is /home/skt
[04:31] <andycap_> wait, wher can I DL wine?
[04:31] <Sktfeelsdapper> but this isn't make sense to me.
[04:32] <Sktfeelsdapper> it gives me a million possibilities.
[04:32] <Sktfeelsdapper> when i double tab it
[04:32] <Phuzion> I don't have a desktop manager installed, but I want to go with LAMP, what packages do I need to install?
[04:32] <wickedpuppy> andycap_, wine is in the repos .... sudo apt-get install wine
[04:32] <Phuzion> !lamp
[04:32] <ubotu> lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[04:32] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Show me.
[04:32] <mwright1> How do I recheck the video card,  X is bombing (vid charge has changed.. I have a 6.06 LTS command prompt
[04:32] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Just the first screen.
[04:32] <tonyyarusso> Question: If I have one printer (USB) and two computers, what is the best way of making both computers use it (preferably without requiring one computer to always be on, but that might be an option)?
[04:32] <ACU> THX-1138: so I go to a command prompt and and say put <file> ?  Can you show me a realife sample ?
[04:32] <Madpilot> andycap_, it's in Ubuntu's universe repository
[04:32] <andycap_> where is the repos :\
[04:33] <Arafangion> tonyyarusso: You must network it.
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> !tell repos to andycap_
[04:33] <Sktfeelsdapper> hold on
[04:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tell repos to andycap_ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:33] <Arafangion> tonyyarusso: Or, plug it into the relevant computer as you require it.
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> tell repos to andycap_
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> ah heck .. i forgot the command
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> lol
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> !repos
[04:33] <mwright1> can anyone help me getting X windows to work
[04:33] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> there you go andycap_
[04:33] <mwright1> is there a command line command to probe the vid card in xorg 7.x
[04:33] <andycap_> cool thanks :>
[04:33] <Sktfeelsdapper> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25459/
[04:33] <mwright1> please :)
[04:34] <THX-1138> ACU - What client/server are you uing? - i don't know man you ftp client or man your ftpserver may be your best friend.
[04:34] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Ok, now type 'n', and hit tab
[04:34] <Madpilot> wickedpuppy, it's "!tell <nick> about <thing>" just for future reference
[04:34] <Kalisto> hey guys, i have a massive problem that i cant fix.. no matter what i try.. when my box loads all i get is: Loading Stage 1.5 ...grub loading please wait... Error 15
[04:34] <wickedpuppy> oh okie .. thanks Madpilot
[04:34] <Kalisto> now i have Ununtu installed on an external HDD... 3 partitions.. boot/swap/root... am i right to assume since i tell my laptop to boot from USB that root in grub is (hd0,0)?
[04:34] <tonyyarusso> Arafangion: Well, we're getting another wireless router to improve our coverage over the house, and there's a good chance it could end up in or near here.  Could I do it by having one computer plugged into that via ethernet and the other either that way or using wireless on the same AP?
[04:34] <Madpilot> !tell wickedpuppy about yourself
[04:35] <nbjayme> what does this mean?  (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom
[04:35] <Sktfeelsdapper> ok nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS> came up
[04:35] <Arafangion> tonyyarusso: Some wireless routers may well be able to share a printer directly. Consider that possibility.
[04:35] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Hit tab again. :)
[04:35] <omegacat> hi, I'm getting the message "the greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one" and it seems to just be hanging
[04:35] <tonyyarusso> Arafangion: Cool.  (btw, if it matters it's the open firmware linux one from linksys, so I'm told I can mod it up pretty far)
[04:36] <Sktfeelsdapper> now nothing is coming up
[04:36] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: And hit it again. :)
[04:36] <Phocion> hey guys.....so I partition my drive in fdisk...'w' to write the partition table...then I remount the drive and the data is STILL THERE!!!!! any ideas??
[04:36] <Phocion> why is it not being removed
[04:36] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: How do you usually start nicotine?
[04:36] <omegacat> I have Dapper amd64 and it was a totally brand new fresh install off the CD and I just upgraded the 100 some odd packages that it wanted to.
[04:36] <anto9us> Kalisto, error 15 I think means the partition numbers are skewed
[04:36] <Zaire> anyone know what mysql package I need to use phpbb
[04:36] <Sktfeelsdapper> cd / home / skt
[04:37] <Sktfeelsdapper> grrr
[04:37] <Sktfeelsdapper> it won't let me post this
[04:37] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Just cd, without any arguments, will default to your home.  It's also the same thing as "cd ~"
[04:37] <valehru> Is there any application that can convert HTML to PDF?
[04:37] <Kalisto> anto9us, ok where do i start then?
[04:37] <bigdaddy_> hello problem: im on dapper drake sound is intel HDA an i read up on net that if i put options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2 within alsa-base it would fix my left channel crackle problem how ever it fixes it randomly if there an perm fix for this?
[04:37] <anto9us> Kalisto, boot from a livecd and check things out
[04:37] <Zaire> anyone know what mysql package I need to use phpbb
[04:38] <Dr_willis> valehru,  you can 'print to pdf'  with the right setup
[04:38] <Arafangion> valehru: Use your favorite browser, and then print to pdf.
[04:38] <Sktfeelsdapper> arg i'm so frustrated.,
[04:38] <Kalisto> anto9us, belive me iv done that 1000 times.. tried all the numbers root (hd0,0) hd1,0... no avail
[04:38] <fgh_lo> can someone point me to the guide on how to dual boot winxp and ubuntu? i can't seem find that guide.
[04:38] <valehru> Dr_willis, Arafangion I only have print to postscript / default.
[04:39] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: It's just a very, very different environment.  I've never used nicotine, so I can't give you real simple "one liner", that will just work.
[04:39] <Arafangion> valehru: Ok, then use ps2pdf
[04:39] <pluma_> Grapefruit ice tea rocks.
[04:39] <Dr_willis> fgh_lo,  the grub menu.lst has an example entry to boot xp off the first hard drive  - in the comments.
[04:39] <Arafangion> valehru: But you really should have a "pdf" printer setup as a fake "printer".
[04:39] <Dr_willis> fgh_lo,  or read up on the grub docs/guides
[04:39] <Arafangion> valehru: Infact, that should be the default in Ubuntu.
[04:39] <|thunder> fgh_lo, ill post my menu.lst       you using grub , yes ?
[04:39] <Sktfeelsdapper> root@skt-desktop:~/nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS># ./nicotine
[04:39] <valehru> Arafangion, how can I do that?
[04:39] <Sktfeelsdapper> That is what I just did, and I am currently in nicotine.
[04:40] <fgh_lo> Dr_willis: i have a xp on one parition (ntfs) and about to install ubuntu. how much space should i allow for swap?
[04:40] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Try closing that, then typing: /home/skt/nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS>/nicotine
[04:40] <Sktfeelsdapper> i tried to cut and paste the pastebin url just now but i guess i missed.
[04:40] <Sktfeelsdapper> closing nicotine?
[04:41] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Get out of it/kill it/switch windows/whatever, we want to run it again.
[04:41] <etzerd> hello all
[04:41] <Zambezi> The clock in commando top goes to 100. How can I understand and understand how many minutes it is?
[04:41] <Sktfeelsdapper> ok that worked.
[04:41] <etzerd> when the new version will be out?
[04:41] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Put that line verbatim into the launcher.
[04:41] <Sktfeelsdapper> i got into nicotine again
[04:41] <pluma_> What's a good place to put applications (binaries, cfg and everything all in one dir -- Windows style) for all users? /usr/lib/<application-name>/ ?
[04:41] <anto9us> Kalisto, see if this is useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phbc50/howtos/how-to_reinstall_grub
[04:41] <bruenig> etzerd, if you mean edgy, octobr 26
[04:41] <Sktfeelsdapper> without the root@skt part?
[04:41] <|thunder> fgh_lo; this is my /boot/grub/menu.lst file. boots xp just dandy.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25461/
[04:41] <bruenig> october*

[04:41] <devicenull> this is fun
[04:41] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Without.
[04:41] <etzerd> bruenig: thanks
[04:41] <devicenull> booted ubuntu installer through PXE
[04:42] <Sktfeelsdapper> what about this # symbol?
[04:42] <Kalisto> anto9us, yes i think maybe its a bad install..
[04:42] <mike__> anto9us: Back, arg no luck, trying to check if there could be anyting at the router
[04:42] <etzerd> bruenig: do you know about any new feature in edgy?
[04:42] <jtkiefer> anyone here had any luck getting the logitech quickcam 5000 working?
[04:42] <mwright1> Helo, Just wandering how I can get ubuntu to probe for a video card from the shell prompt (console)
[04:42] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Everything between but not including the arrows: -->/home/skt/nicotine+-<IP_ADDRESS>/nicotine<--
[04:42] <Zambezi> The time in top is 538:33:95. How many minutes is that if a minute is 60 seconds and not hundred!
[04:42] <anto9us> mike__, yes, look for mac address blocking
[04:42] <bruenig> !edgy
[04:42] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[04:42] <pluma_> Zambezi: use a calculator?
[04:43] <fgh_lo> |thunder: thx. how much space do i need to allow for swap? this current parition is 45 gb
[04:43] <bruenig> etzerd, look on the wiki, it has a list
[04:43] <bigdaddy_> none can help?
[04:43] <claco> anyone got time to help a wpasupp newbl through a config issue?
[04:43] <|thunder> fgh_lo; i have set to a gig to match my gig of ram
[04:43] <mwright1> can anyone help etting X windows to autodetect
[04:43] <mwright1> I need to probe the vid care
[04:43] <andycap_> guys, for some reason
[04:43] <SinnerG> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ after running my auto install/compile script :)
[04:43] <etzerd> jtkiefer:Yes I have a logitech it works fine. if it is the one you are refering to;
[04:43] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  what video card ya got?
[04:43] <vanberge> can anybody recommend any good wireless tools?
[04:43] <mwright1> nvidia something
[04:43] <andycap_> when I open my sources.list file it opens with rythmbox
[04:43] <Sktfeelsdapper> Nope that didn't work.
[04:44] <mwright1> I just need to get into X
[04:44] <fgh_lo> thx.
[04:44] <mwright1> that's all
[04:44] <andycap_> what should I open it with?
[04:44] <Sktfeelsdapper> I put it in exactly like that, and it didn't work.
[04:44] <vanberge> that enable easy wep/wpa configs?
[04:44] <pluma_> Seriously. Where should I put full-blow application directories with subdirs and everything? /usr/lib/<application>/ sounds like the most sensible choice, but is it?
[04:44] <jtkiefer> etzerd, what package did you have to use to get it to work?
[04:44] <etzerd> I use Ekiga
[04:44] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  you install the nvidia drivers yet?
[04:44] <SinnerG> or /usr/local/<application>
[04:44] <Dr_willis> !nvidia
[04:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:44] <mwright1> chicken and eg.
[04:44] <claco> I've for wpa_supplicant running...connects, and I can surf when I run it manually.. I just can't get it to happen when I insert the card under edgy
[04:44] <mwright1> I don't have networking enabled
[04:44] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Show me a screenshot.
[04:44] <mwright1> I dropped a network card in but that hasn't auto detected
[04:44] <Sktfeelsdapper> I keep double clicking it and still nothing.
[04:44] <etzerd> but I still cannot find a package that I can take capture pictures with.
[04:44] <wickedpuppy> andycap_, in GUI ? gedit
[04:45] <Sktfeelsdapper> How do you take sn's in here, and more importantly where do i put it?
[04:45] <Sktfeelsdapper> screen shots
[04:45] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  set the thing to use 'vesa' for a default. to get X going. Not sure about the network card.
[04:45] <pluma_> SinnerG: /usr/local/ seems to be empty.
[04:45] <Arafangion> Guys, where can Sktfeelsdapper upload screenshots?
[04:45] <etzerd> but Ekiga is just like a conferencing.
[04:45] <mwright1> Dr willis hwo do I do that?
[04:45] <SinnerG> well, you wanted a place to put stuff.. didnt say it was used before :p
[04:45] <Sktfeelsdapper> I'm so frustrated!!!!!
[04:45] <Sktfeelsdapper> ahhhhh
[04:45] <SinnerG> I use /usr/local for stuff like apache ;)
[04:45] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf   - should be a 'driver' line
[04:45] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: btw, screenshots can be made easily by hitting the little "Prt Sc" or "Print Screen" button on your keyboard.
[04:45] <andycap_> ... I don't get what to do now..
[04:46] <Sktfeelsdapper> Oh it works the same as in windows?
[04:46] <mwright1> ok
[04:46] <Kalisto> anto9us, when i install grub again.. from the cd.. into shell.. what command can i type in to check that it will install it to the correct hd.. ie how do i know if my usb is hdo or hd1?
[04:46] <Zambezi> pluma_, Thanks alot. I didn't figured out that myself!!
[04:46] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: No, it works much, much, much better than in windows.
[04:46] <wickedpuppy> andycap_, are you in nautilus or in command line ?
[04:46] <britt> where can i go for powerpc specific things?
[04:46] <andycap_> gedit
[04:46] <pluma_> Zambezi: Your sarcasm is much appreciated. ;)
[04:46] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  or run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[04:49] <wickedpuppy> andycap_, cat /etc/issue ... btw what are you trying to do ?
[04:49] <Sktfeelsdapper> you know what dude, i'm thinking i might just stick with it being where it is.
[04:49] <pluma_> SinnerG: Apparently in this case it was in /usr/lib/ originally too, so that works. I guess my question could have been answered with a bit of checking on my side ;)
[04:49] <anto9us> mike__, just one idea, do you have any locations set up in Network Settings? Tried a different one?
[04:49] <andycap_> trying to enable WINE in the repos
[04:49] <SinnerG> hehe :p
[04:49] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  thats  interesting..      how did you edit that file? or did you use the dpkg-rconfigure line?
[04:50] <wickedpuppy> what does that screenshot suppose to show ?
[04:50] <claco> is there an updated wpasup setup for Edgy?
[04:50] <anto9us> I'm off to bed, night everyone and good luck!
[04:50] <claco> some of the files referenced in the forums don't seem to exist
[04:51] <britt> maybe a dumb question, but does linux still run on a i486?
[04:51] <mwright1> dr_willis manually with vi
[04:51] <mwright1> did a / to search for Driver
[04:51] <mwright1> then changed the nv in the quotes to vesa
[04:51] <Dr_willis> andycap_,  use that 'add/remove' icon in the menus.. check  the  'show unsupported' and search for wine, and install it. :P
[04:52] <wickedpuppy> britt, runs from 386 to 686
[04:52] <andycap_> thanks dude!
[04:52] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  thats odd that it  complains about the fonts now.
[04:52] <mwright1> IT did before
[04:52] <Dr_willis> andycap_,   it is worth wile to learn about how the repoisotory system works. :)
[04:52] <mwright1> that was why it bombed efore.. I was just assuming it was the nv driver causing it
[04:52] <livingtm>  /join #initng
[04:52] <andycap_> yeah, I'll check it out
[04:52] <Dr_willis> mwright1,  ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
[04:53] <hilltop> Hi guys, I thought there is a channel for python. #python-cleese looks empty.
[04:53] <mwright1> any idea?
[04:53] <Dr_willis> mwright1,   Hmm try the           sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg     command and select/try nv/nvidia/vesa
[04:53] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: My folks are arriving any moment ,so if I don't respond, that's why.
[04:53] <wickedpuppy> oh andycap_ got your ubuntu version ?
[04:53] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Could you provide a screenshot of whatever settings you've put into the launcher?
[04:54] <andycap_> no, I think I got WINE though
[04:54] <andycap_> hold on
[04:54] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: It's the settings that are the problem, not the icon ;)
[04:55] <Rickman> I'm using VSFTP as my ftp server on my newly installed linux box.  When I ftp into my server from another pc, it doesn't show the typical public_html that I've typically seen with webservers.  How do I get this to happen?
[04:55] <Dr_willis> andycap_,  one of the first things to do is run winecfg      so the settings get set up right. for wine
[04:55] <Sktfeelsdapper> ok one second
[04:56] <andycap_> it says wine is not available in any software channels
[04:56] <Rickman> can anyone help me here regarding Vsftpd?
[04:57] <Arafangion> Dr_willis: Isn't winecfg outdated, and explicitly discouraged by the #winehq folks?
[04:57] <Sktfeelsdapper> http://img114.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1mj9.png
[04:57] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, you set up a vsftp but want to see what you see on web server ?
[04:57] <Arafangion> Dr_willis: Additionally, doesn't wine autoconfigure itself on first launch?
[04:57] <Sktfeelsdapper> arafangion there's the other sn
[04:57] <kendy_> where
[04:57] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, well, I want to see a public_html directory.  I'm assuming that's a setting in the .conf file
[04:58] <Sktfeelsdapper> errr screenshot
[04:58] <RawSewage> Anyone know how I can create my own nzb files
[04:58] <britt> wickedpuppy: ok
[04:58] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, where if your ftp server root directory ?
[04:58] <Dr_willis> Arafangion,  yea i think it does.. but ive never notifced it affecting much either way. :P
[04:59] <Dr_willis> Arafangion,  i tend to use cedega also.
[04:59] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Hmm, that really should work.
[04:59] <Sktfeelsdapper> it should shouldn't it? heh
[04:59] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Try making a new launcher.
[04:59] <devicenull> shit, I forgot my password.. is there a way to reset it without reinstalling?
[05:00] <RawSewage> Anyone know if there's a way to throttle the speed on klibido
[05:00] <mwright1> dr_ ... I am getting /dev/wacom error messages
[05:00] <kutan> Hello, can someone give me the name of audio conversion software that includes the MIDI and OGG formats?
[05:00] <mwright1> error opening /dev/wacom: Success
[05:00] <wickedpuppy> Sktfeelsdapper, may i ask a question ? did you run nicotine as root on the command line ?
[05:00] <mwright1> then could not open default font fixed.. same with nv and vesa
[05:00] <Sktfeelsdapper> let me check
[05:00] <mwright1> THis is a computer I'm trying to fix for someone else
[05:00] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, actually now i'm having another problem.  I set up some virtualhosts directories and I can see them from a web-browser, but I can't add files to them from a ftp client as it says I don't have permissions...
[05:00] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Don't run it as root!
[05:01] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: If you did, try: sudo mv ~/.nicotine ~/.nicotine-old
[05:01] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Then try clicking on the launcher again.
[05:01] <Sktfeelsdapper> wait.
[05:01] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Then repeat after me "Do not run programs as root unless neccessary", 10,000 times.
[05:01] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: And it's rarely neccessary.
[05:01] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, you created the directories as root right ? ls -l on the directories
[05:02] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, yes, well I used sudo, but yes
[05:02] <pluma_> Is there a way to add installed executables to your application menu in the GNOME bar? I can't find a way to add anything other than via install/remove.
[05:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> it doesn't work for me under just skt
[05:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> it works under root
[05:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> i guess i'm the dumb arse
[05:02] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, then i suggest you create one as a normal user ... and test it
[05:02] <wickedpuppy> Sktfeelsdapper, we all are ... now then i remember you asked us whether to put # sign a few pages ago
[05:03] <wickedpuppy> then i realised you been running under root all these times
[05:03] <Sktfeelsdapper> do i put it in the launcher?
[05:03] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, ok, but isn't there a way that I can change ownership/security for the current dirs from root, to my other normal login?
[05:03] <wickedpuppy> clearly not
[05:03] <wickedpuppy> :P
[05:03] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: That's your problem.  My guess is that for some wierd reason, you decided to run it as root the first time, which made initial configuration files as root, which means that when you're running it without root privs, it's unable to see the configuration.
[05:03] <Sktfeelsdapper> so does that mean i screwed up?
[05:03] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: The launcher is fine.
[05:03] <devicenull> nm, got it
[05:03] <devicenull> rebooted to recovery mode
[05:03] <Sktfeelsdapper> i screwed up. haha
[05:04] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Just move your ~/.nicotine to some other name, such as ~/.nicotine-backup
[05:04] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: You'll probably need to do that using sudo.
[05:04] <john> I have a file called install.sh, how do I install it?
[05:04] <pluma_> john: just run it?
[05:04] <Sktfeelsdapper> i'm confused.
[05:04] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: The linux security model is VERY different to the windows security model.
[05:04] <Sktfeelsdapper> is it possible to make the root command in the launcher?
[05:05] <devicenull> okay, when I installed I chose the "server" one
[05:05] <pluma_> Very different and indeed a bit confusing.
[05:05] <devicenull> is it possible to install all the packages from the "desktop" one?
[05:05] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: "dot files", ie, those that begin with a dot, are by long standing convention, "hidden".
[05:05] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, of course you can change the ownership of the dir ... sudo chown username dirname
[05:05] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: They are generally used as configuration files.
[05:05] <Sktfeelsdapper> they are . files.
[05:06] <john> pluma_, It asks me if I want to run it in terminal or run it
[05:06] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: You need to move the ~/.nicotine files to somewhere else, so that when you start nicotine as skt, it is able to write to ~/.nicotine
[05:06] <john> pluma_, with either option, it does not do anything
[05:06] <pluma_> john: it asks you whether you wish to execute it or read it.
[05:06] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: ALternatively, try: sudo chown skt -R /home/skt
[05:06] <pluma_> It DOES do something if you execute it.
[05:06] <Astray> Anybody know why beryl remaps all the buttosn on my mouse and makes it unuseable?
[05:06] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, will that change all of the subfolders inside each of the directories that I'm doing the chown on?
[05:06] <pluma_> It probably just doesn't show you any output on the screen.
[05:06] <john> pluma_, run in terminal or run - neither works
[05:06] <devicenull> should I install Xfree or xorg?
[05:06] <Sktfeelsdapper> what does that do?
[05:06] <pluma_> Hm... does it have any effects?
[05:07] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, in other words, will it recurse to all the subs, which is what I want?
[05:07] <wickedpuppy> Rickman, not unless you used -R ... recursive .. i suggest man chown for mroe info
[05:07] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: CHange OWNership of files, -Recursively.
[05:07] <wickedpuppy> oh then chown -R ...
[05:07] <kane_> Hey, does anyone know how to remove a single package and none of its Deps?
[05:07] <pluma_> Try opening a terminal and executing it via the commandline. Does it print any error messages?
[05:07] <Sktfeelsdapper> whoops i just did that to /home/skt
[05:07] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Excellent. Try the launcher now.
[05:07] <john> pluma_, I will give it a try!
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> IT WORKED
[05:08] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: The command changes the owner to "skt", giving you access.
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> IT WORKED IT WORKED
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> moral of this story?
[05:08] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Yes, because ~/.nicotine, and possibly other files, were owned as root, because you were using sudo too much.
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> don't ever use root for anything :)
[05:08] <codecaine> when you install apache does it automatic recongnize php?
[05:08] <wickedpuppy> learn linux
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> oh dear lawdy it worked.
[05:08] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Incidently, many programs look at the HOME environment variable, which is not reset by sudo.
[05:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> did it change all my files back to me?
[05:08] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Yes.
[05:09] <Normal> Hey all.My new computer has two 250Gb Hard drives and 2GbRAM. Any advice on how to partition it? I just read something that said '/ 12gigs','swap 2gigs','/var 2gigs',/home for the rest. Is this good advice?
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> sweetness
[05:09] <devicenull> Which version fo X is installed by deafult with the "desktop" version, XOrg or XFree?
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> Arafangion are you a male?
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> Or a female?
[05:09] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Male.
[05:09] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: Why? ;)
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> Well if I knew you I'd take you out for a beer.
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> haha
[05:09] <wickedpuppy> lol ... now this is a dating channel
[05:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> Or give you a big ole smooch on the cheek. hahaha
[05:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> j/k
[05:10] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: And if I were female, you wouldn't dare take me out? ;)
[05:10] <Healot> Normal, depends  on your need and knowledge
[05:10] <wickedpuppy> devicenull, Xorg
[05:10] <krazykit> ...
[05:10] <krazykit> devicenull: xorg.
[05:10] <Sktfeelsdapper> well i wouldn't for certain reasons no
[05:10] <devicenull> ok, thanks
[05:10] <Arafangion> Anyway, no fun on freenode, so we should stop. ;)
[05:10] <JoseStefan> !php > codecaine
[05:11] <Normal> Well, I know little, but I didn't have a hard time partitioning on my first bout with Ubuntu
[05:11] <pluma_> I love verbose output. I hate "exit code 1"
[05:11] <Sktfeelsdapper> now all i have to do is figure out why lastfm isn't working for me and then i'll be set.
[05:11] <mastercho> would anyone know what causes constant reboots after the kernel is loaded?
[05:11] <codecaine> ? Jose?
[05:11] <Healot> Normal, i guess just take what the installer suggest?
[05:11] <john> pluma_, how do I go back a level when I have gone too far in a file
[05:12] <codecaine> ah got it ty
[05:12] <john> cd <name> is to go forward, what is to go back?
[05:12] <duelboot> I'm having trouble installing BestCrypt...[subdirs]  Error 2...any assistance?
[05:12] <Normal> Okay, simple enough! How about this: 32 or 64bit? I have both installers and don't know which to use...
[05:12] <sethk> Normal, what hardware do you have?
[05:12] <Healot> Normal, what processor do you have
[05:13] <Normal> amd64x2 4200
[05:13] <JoseStefan> Normal, 32bit is easier, less troubles. 64bit might be more fun
[05:13] <Healot> if you have those AMD64 or P4 with EMT64...  both versions work
[05:13] <bruenig> Normal, go with 32
[05:13] <Rickman> wickedpuppy, ok that worked, was able to chown the folders.  I copied an index.html file into the directory, but when I try to view the page from a web browser now i get "you are not authorized to view this page"
[05:13] <Sktfeelsdapper> Hey dude does that change permission to the folders forever?
[05:13] <Sktfeelsdapper> Or until I reboot?

[05:16] <JoseStefan> ubotu, tell john about yourself
[05:16] <Rickman> Yes, sorry I'm using apache2

[05:17] <Normal> Last one: Should I try Beryl with the new Nvidia beta driver without aiglx, then if it don't go 'good', add aiglx later?
[05:17] <Arafangion> Sktfeelsdapper: If you have to change them again, it's because they were explicitly changed.
[05:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> Forever!
[05:18] <duelboot> I'm having trouble installing BestCrypt...[subdirs]  Error 2...any assistance?

[05:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about myself - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:18] <john> so what now?
[05:19] <Sktfeelsdapper> Geez sounds like he's got a problem there.
[05:19] <Zaire> anyone know how I can fix this http://pastebin.ca/188439
[05:19] <Normal> Well, I guess 2 out o' 3 will do!
[05:20] <yanger> you guys know any easy way to setup a router with ubuntu as the distro?
[05:20] <jrib> !info flightgear
[05:20] <smellslikesteven> hi guys
[05:20] <ubotu> flightgear: Flight Gear Flight Simulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.9-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 1603 kB, installed size 4096 kB
[05:20] <john> ok
[05:20] <yanger> pc as a router
[05:20] <jrib> john: have you enabled the uiverse repository?
[05:20] <smellslikesteven> i am a nubuntu
[05:20] <jrib> smellslikesteven: welcome :)
[05:20] <umbutu> don't you mean n00bumbutu
[05:20] <john> jrib, I dont think so. How do I do it?
[05:20] <jrib> ubotu: tell john about universe
[05:20] <yanger> rubuntu perhaps? :D guess not...
[05:21] <DeadLock> :)
[05:21] <umbutu> :)
[05:22] <john> jrib, ou can enable the universe component by editing the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" after installing Ubuntu.
[05:22] <jrib> john: that's correct
[05:22] <john> jrib, what do I change in it?
[05:22] <jrib> john: the wiki page gives you all the details.  But all you need to do is uncomment the lines that correspond to universe (read the comments)
[05:23] <john> jrib, what is the link to the page - or is it a search on google?
[05:23] <sethk> john, I believe this is the line we removed from sources.lst when you were getting a syntax error
[05:23] <jrib> john: check your private message from ubotu
[05:23] <sethk> john, as I told you then, you need to put that line back in, but without the syntax error (of course)
[05:24] <sethk> john, if the line you are looking for is already in the file, of course, then this doesn't apply
[05:24] <john> sethk, If I can see flight gear in the repository, doe sit mean I have universe enabled
[05:24] <john> sethk, ?
[05:25] <jrib> john: yes
[05:25] <john> ok - I am downloading the file now
[05:25] <JoseStefan> there are easier ways to add "universe": use "Software Properties" (or Software Sources), in Administration Menu
[05:25] <john> 99mb in 10 mins

[05:26] <john> What speed do you download at?

[05:27] <MTecknology> DBO, still busy?
[05:28] <sureshot> hey i would like to ask an off topic question but the info on login says something about lilo and family may i ask as to what happend
[05:28] <DBO> MTecknology, nope lets do this thing
[05:28] <MTecknology> awesome
[05:28] <MTecknology> query?
[05:28] <DBO> yes
[05:28] <Healot> a simple. question. should there be any problem if I create a mirror with two disks with different speed, i.e SATA and IDE UltraDMA-5?
[05:28] <sethk> Healot, you won't take advantage of the higher speed, but other than that, no
[05:29] <SAM_theman> going to install the source
[05:29] <Healot> any chance of broken mirror, due to different write speed??
[05:29] <sethk> Healot, no
[05:29] <sethk> Healot, of course during an update there is a small window of risk, but that's true with two identical drives as well
[05:29] <Healot> thanks
[05:29] <sethk> Healot, effectively the quicker one will be throttled by the slower one

[05:35] <Bobsyagod> Hey guys. Need a bit of help. Just upgraded the graphics card in my Dapper box, from none (onboard Intel) to an nVidia 7600 GS. Now my X server is having a fit. Can someone help me get it sorted?
[05:36] <john> Where do I find Flightgear once I have downloaded it from syaptic package manager?
[05:36] <codecaine> anybdoy know how to get php activated with apache :(
[05:36] <xenoNfluX> !lamp
[05:36] <ubotu> lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[05:37] <john> Where do I find Flightgear once I have downloaded it from syaptic package manager?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> john,  it should have a menu item
[05:37] <Dr_willis> john,  if you INSTALLED it with the package manager.. that is..
[05:37] <valehru> hey, im printing to PDF and all my PDF documents have the filename and the path to the file as the header on each document.  is there a way to remove it?
[05:37] <valehru> Im using CUPS by the way
[05:38] <Dr_willis> check the program you are printing from? it may be doing that..
[05:38] <valehru> Using NVU...
[05:38] <john> Dr_willis, no it is not in the menu, but It have a green box next to in in the pagage manager saying it has the lated=st version
[05:38] <valehru> Will check now Dr_willis thx
[05:38] <Dr_willis> never used that. :P
[05:38] <Dr_willis> john,  could be the menu hasent refreshed..
[05:39] <zakame> hi all
[05:39] <Dr_willis> john,  could try running 'flightgear' from a terminal
[05:39] <john> Dr_willis, how do I do that?
[05:39] <rpedro> john, install menu (sudo apt-get install menu) , and FlightGear should be under Applications -> Debian -> Games ... . it doesn't install a regular menu item I don't know why
[05:39] <Bobsyagod> Damnit, can't do anything with my Xserver screwed up...anyone know how I can get it to detect my new graphics card?
[05:39] <Dr_willis> open a terminal... type flightgear  :)
[05:39] <valehru> Dr_willis, think that was it...thx
[05:39] <Dr_willis> or listen to rpedro :)
[05:40] <rpedro> john, actually the executable is 'fgfs', you can run it from a terminal too if you like
[05:40] <rpedro> Dr_willis: :D
[05:41] <Dr_willis> the thing is a 190mb download...so i aint playingit soon to test for him.
[05:41] <Dr_willis> lol
[05:41] <john> rpedro, where do I find it on mu computer?
[05:41] <Shadow_mil> What is the safest way to mount NTFS?  I have heard that captive-ntfs is not all that safe
[05:41] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagood, have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[05:41] <rpedro> applications -> accessories -> terminal
[05:41] <Dr_willis> Shadow_mil,  youmean safest to WRITE to ntfs? or just read.
[05:41] <john> ok
[05:41] <Shadow_mil> WRITE to
[05:41] <dan2> ntfs-3g works great here
[05:41] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX - Nope, I only just popped in the card. Was going to apt-get the drivers once I booted. Now I think about it, probably not a smart idea :$
[05:41] <Dr_willis> am i the only one that thinks the Terminal icon should be in the panels by default?
[05:41] <zakame> ntfs-3g, but its supposed to be merged in to ntfsprogs
[05:41] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:41] <john> rpedro, I have that up - now what?
[05:42] <Alllleexx> What program do u need to load an .exe in ubuntu and what does the green foot icon mean on a file?  I know i know, such a newb
[05:42] <Shadow_mil> what about ntfsmount program? how good would that be?
[05:42] <rpedro> john, type in 'fgfs' and hit enter
[05:42] <Phlosten> Dr_willis: nope, it is the only shortcut icon on my panel :)
 john, actually the executable is 'fgfs'
[05:42] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagood, is it not outputting video to it at all?
[05:42] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX - No, there's video, but it said my X wasn't configured properly and dumped me to a prompt.
[05:43] <Dr_willis> and on the desktop... :P
[05:43] <Bobsyagod> If I try 'startx' I get 'No Screens Found'.
[05:43] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagod, roger that... I'll hit you up in a PM
[05:43] <Bobsyagod> Excellent, thanks ;)

[05:46] <gcmobile> Hey #ubuntu
[05:46] <zer0moon> allo
[05:46] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX - PM'd :\
[05:47] <xenoNfluX> hm, didnt get it
[05:47] <xenoNfluX> anyway
[05:47] <Bobsyagod> Bah.
[05:47] <xenoNfluX> check this
[05:47] <xenoNfluX> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[05:47] <gcmobile> Question regarding Edgy Eft, I went to install and did everything (did an upgrade from Dapper) and when I reboot, I just get a black screen. Tried going into recovery mode, reinstalling (which it did) and I'm still getting the same issue. Just a black screen.
[05:47] <supermiguel> how do i get repositopyies
[05:47] <john> how do I terminate a program in terminal?
[05:47] <supermiguel> repositories
[05:47] <Dr_willis> !easysource
[05:47] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:47] <gcmobile> killall appname
[05:47] <gcmobile> that was towards john, btw.
[05:47] <Dr_willis> john,  ctrl-c, or use the xkill, or killall commands
[05:47] <Bobsyagod> John - Ctrl + C, if it's running.
[05:47] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagod, [and replacing "nv" with "nvidia"]  is the last thing you should need to do there
[05:47] <JoseStefan> john, ctrl+c would usually exit from the currently running program, if you want to terminate a process use "kill" or "killall
[05:48] <JoseStefan> john, "ps
[05:48] <rpedro> supermiguel: ndiswrapper-utils is in the default repositories, no need to add any extra ones
[05:48] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX - I'll give it a try, thanks :)
[05:48] <rpedro> supermiguel: unless
[05:48] <JoseStefan> john, "ps" will list currently running processes, i suggest using options, starting with ps --help
[05:48] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagod, no problem... I had to dig that up, I forgot all of the packages you need :)
[05:48] <gcmobile> Anyone know of the Edgy issue I have?
[05:48] <rpedro> supermiguel: *did you do 'sudo apt-get update' before that
[05:49] <jkf> hello
[05:49] <JoseStefan> tell supermiguel about repos
[05:49] <Alllleexx> JoseStefan: thanks but the program isnt for windows, or does that matter?
[05:49] <supermiguel> rpedro
[05:49] <zer0moon> is there any reason BitchX isnt displaying ANSI properly in console mode? under Dapper. ive tried setting TERM, and i know thre are console utilities .. but im not sure how to go about this
[05:49] <JoseStefan> Alllleexx, you have a .exe that is not for windows?
[05:49] <glick> howdy
[05:49] <jkf> how do i change the Access Point on eth1 that appears on my iwconfig? i have wireless
[05:49] <JoseStefan> !tell supermiguel about repos
[05:49] <supermiguel> i just install ubuntu on that machine i dont think that it will recognize it
[05:50] <supermiguel> i have to install something before install something?
[05:50] <Dr_willis> zer0moon,  the font its using may be the issue in th console
[05:50] <zer0moon> yeah but im talking about the plain tty, not in X
[05:51] <glick> what happened to lilo?
[05:51] <glick> i dont get it?
[05:51] <john> How do I change the permissions of a file?
[05:51] <rpedro> supermiguel: you do have to update apt-get's repository info, unless the package is already on the install cd, in that case you don't :)
[05:51] <jkf> john: chmod
[05:51] <JoseStefan> john, "man chmod"
[05:51] <zer0moon> unless there is some way to change the font in pure console mode (no X) ?
[05:51] <supermiguel> rpedro
[05:51] <supermiguel> how do i do that
[05:52] <glick> what is the topic about?
[05:52] <BHSPitLappy> zer0moon, there is.
 supermiguel: *did you do 'sudo apt-get update' before that
[05:52] <BHSPitLappy> I just don't remember the command :)
[05:52] <Alllleexx> JoseStefan: i know it sounds weird, but it is for linux
[05:52] <supermiguel> yep
[05:52] <jkf> how do i change the Access Point on eth1 that appears on my iwconfig? i have wireless
[05:52] <JavaDeveloper> Hi, How do I add an entry into update-alternatives --config java? where do I put an java entry there?
[05:52] <zer0moon> BHSPitLappy, lol =P
[05:52] <wickedpuppy> glick, http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/16/2152243
[05:53] <JoseStefan> Alllleexx, use "file _____" to get info about any file, it will tell you what it is, if it's for windows linux, etc
[05:53] <john> So what do I put in to change the permissions of a specific folder?
[05:53] <rpedro> supermiguel: ok, can you paste the output of 'apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils' on pastebin.ca ?
[05:53] <zer0moon> BHSPitLappy, ive tried 'consolechars'.. but im not sure what options or if its even the correct program
[05:54] <BHSPitLappy> try man consolechars
[05:54] <JoseStefan> JavaDeveloper, check the ubuntu's wiki for java, the info there might answer your question
[05:54] <JoseStefan> !tell JavaDeveloper about java
[05:54] <JavaDeveloper> JoseStefan: thanks
[05:54] <wickedpuppy> john, chmod
[05:54] <TiG4> *****---- Anyone know of a NetTransport(http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm) type application for Linux? ---***
[05:54] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX, slight problem.
[05:55] <Bobsyagod> Apparently I don't get an internet connection when Ubuntu drops me to a terminal :)
[05:55] <Bobsyagod> So no apt-get for me.
[05:55] <britt> anybody know where I could get a wireless monitor app?
[05:55] <Alllleexx> JoseStefan: how do i use the "file____" ?  Sorry new to linux
[05:55] <glick> i never heard of him
[05:55] <wickedpuppy> Alllleexx, try file filename
[05:55] <supermiguel> how do i change my root password?
[05:55] <wickedpuppy> glick, he used to be a regular here
[05:55] <supermiguel> sudo -i?
[05:55] <JoseStefan> Alllleexx, example: file mypicture.jpg
[05:56] <Dr_willis> zer0moon,  look in  /usr/share/consolefonts     --------> example ussage  consolechars -f viscii10-8x16
[05:56] <Dr_willis> i think thats right zer0moon  :)
[05:56] <wickedpuppy> supermiguel, then passwd to change the password
[05:56] <glick> oh
[05:56] <john> do I go to the folder that it is in, then chmod and filename?
[05:56] <JoseStefan> supermiguel, you should be using sudo instead
[05:56] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagod, odd.... shouldn't need a GUI to gain a network connection
[05:56] <rpedro> wickedpuppy: don't recommend that here, please
[05:56] <supermiguel> so it will be su passwd?
[05:57] <Bobsyagod> xenoNfluX - All the same, I have no connection and no Xserver. :|
[05:57] <wickedpuppy> john, lets say you want to change permission of folder "test" , do chmod 777 test .. or whatever the permission number
[05:57] <Dr_willis> zer0moon,  try consolechars -d
[05:57] <rpedro> supermiguel: the way ubuntu works, you're supposed to use sudo programename whenever you need root access, for security sakes
[05:57] <britt> supermiguel: sudo passwd root
[05:57] <glick> i just bought the latest Programming Python book
[05:57] <wickedpuppy> rpedro, recommand what ? passwd or sudo ... he knows sudo -i himself ..
[05:57] <glick> cant wait to get some time to dive in it
[05:57] <JoseStefan> supermiguel, login in to root is disabled by default on ubuntu, because sudo is prefered
[05:57] <glick> i love python
[05:57] <xenoNfluX> bobsyagod, unfortunately I need to get to sleep... if you can get someone to help you get your internet connection up, you should be able to follow that How To and get X working again
[05:58] <john> where can I find out what the permission numbers mean?
[05:58] <Bobsyagod> Alright, thanks anyway Xenon :|
[05:58] <xenoNfluX> no problem :)
[05:58] <Sktfeelsdapper> Ok.
[05:58] <Sktfeelsdapper> So I have another problem. Haha
[05:58] <glick> john, the numbers are bit settings
[05:58] <Dr_willis> john,  some good linux tutorials, or the chmod man pages.
[05:58] <Sktfeelsdapper> Has anyone else dealt with the last.fm problems lately?
[05:58] <john> kk
[05:58] <glick> each set of three bits gives read write and execute permission to a diferent group
[05:59] <wickedpuppy> john, search on google for "unix permission"
[05:59] <wickedpuppy> or go here http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml
[05:59] <wickedpuppy> the first page i got from that link
[06:00] <zer0moon> Dr_willis, thanks, I tried it and the -f fonts, but its like it just doesnt display the upper ASCII
[06:00] <zer0moon> the block ones that you see in ascii/ansi art
[06:00] <Dr_willis> zer0moon,  you may have to try the other fonts.. i dont use BitchX.. so cant test.. i tend to use mc. and a lot of the times the fonts mess it up
[06:00] <john> will it mork fo changing permissions of folders?
[06:00] <Dr_willis> zer0moon,  the -d option set to the default font that seems to work for me
[06:01] <john> chmod 711 <foldername>?
[06:01] <jkf> how do i change the Access Point on eth1 that appears on my iwconfig? i have wireless
[06:01] <xenoNfluX> supermiguel, sudo passwd root
[06:01] <britt> whats a good wireless monitor utility for xf86
[06:01] <britt> whats a good wireless monitor utility for xfce?
[06:01] <Dr_willis> !network-manager
[06:01] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[06:02] <xenoNfluX> supermiguel, that won't allow you to log in as root, but you can still use su to switch to root after logging in
[06:02] <JoseStefan> john, you can use letters, it's easier
[06:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> !lastfm
[06:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lastfm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> !last.fm
[06:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about last.fm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:02] <Sktfeelsdapper> !alsa
[06:02] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[06:03] <Sktfeelsdapper> Is master mono suppose to be unchecked?
, say for a test folder, what would I put into terminal?
[06:04] <dhq> how do i configure my lm-sensors
[06:05] <JoseStefan> john, depends what permissions you want to change, you should read the manual for chmod (man chmod)
[06:05] <john> I want 711 for the file

[06:05] <Sktfeelsdapper> how about all these packages from apt-get i've been installing as root, is it possible to change them?
[06:05] <Sktfeelsdapper> so that i have permission to use them just in case?
[06:05] <Flannel> john: it's chmod perm file if you just want to set it
[06:05] <Frustrated_Noob> quick question, how do i get ubuntu to recognize linksys usb wireless?
[06:06] <JoseStefan> john, try:  sudo chmod 711 filename
[06:06] <jme> Frustrated_Noob: you'll probably want to use ndiswrapper
[06:06] <Flannel> Sktfeelsdapper: to change what? you're installing them as root, but everyone can use them
[06:06] <jme> google for more on that and you particular model
[06:06] <Sktfeelsdapper> oh ok just wondering.
[06:06] <Sktfeelsdapper> i just learned that alot of the problems i've been having is because i've been installing things under root.
[06:06] <Frustrated_Noob> ndiswrapper?  what is it and where can i get it?  other than knowing that it's on the livecd
[06:06] <Flannel> Sktfeelsdapper: you shouldn't be having any problems installing that way
[06:06] <Sktfeelsdapper> how do i find out if i have the right module for my soundcard via82xxx
[06:07] <Sktfeelsdapper> flannel, the problem was i was trying to create a launcher for nicotine, but it turns out that i didn't have permission to do it, only root did.
[06:07] <john> THANKS
[06:08] <john> 777 works
[06:08] <torchie> hmm
[06:08] <Sktfeelsdapper> But as soon as I changed everything in my home folder back, the launcher worked.
[06:08] <torchie> whenever the ubuntu cd gets to the 'uncompressing the kernel...' part it flashes 'failed to allocate mem resource' really quickly
[06:08] <torchie> then during install it stalls at 15% and freezes at 47%
[06:09] <torchie> what could cause that?
[06:09] <Sktfeelsdapper> so once again, how do i find out if i have the right kernel/module for my sound card?

[06:14] <john> This is the message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25469/
[06:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> did you try putting the exact path to Steam?
[06:15] <john> yes, as on line 4
[06:15] <Flannel> john: you might try asking in #winehq
[06:15] <Sktfeelsdapper> like \blah\blah\.wine\programfolders\steam.exe
[06:15] <supermiguel> what is slab for
[06:15] <supermiguel> !slab
[06:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <john> john@john-laptop:~$ WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine c:/Program\ Files/Steam/Steam.exe
[06:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> what's that fixme?
[06:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> you gotta including .wine in the thing.
[06:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> \.wine\   just like that
[06:16] <Sktfeelsdapper> or whatever
[06:16] <john> what do you mean - please show me what I should put into terminal
[06:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> if i can remember mine correctly.
[06:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> !wine
[06:17] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> first of all it's you gotta use \'s
[06:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> not /'s
[06:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> go to that page, it should help you at least putting the right thing in.
[06:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> don't forget it's a link to your "fake windows" folder.
[06:18] <sord444> Hello - is there a PPC ubuntu channel, or is it included here?
[06:19] <Sktfeelsdapper> hold on a second.
[06:20] <john> kk
[06:20] <Sktfeelsdapper> H:\.wine\c\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
[06:20] <Sktfeelsdapper> This is mine.
[06:20] <JoseStefan> is the ubuntu DVD both live and alternate?
[06:21] <Ma1> Hey IM planning to buy a laptop. I do 3D animation with Blender and I would like to install ubuntu. What would be the best laptop for me? Or what mark of laptop is known to be bugless with ubuntu?
[06:22] <sord444> anyone have the latest ubuntu on an ibook g4? i cant determine if when i close the lid if it is sleeping or not
[06:22] <micromoog> Mal: I'm on a Dell Latitude D610 here, and everything works perfectly with xubuntu
[06:23] <mister_roboto> micromoog: nvidia graphics?
[06:23] <Sktfeelsdapper> So substitute whatever you have for mine.
[06:23] <Ma1> micromoog what is the graphic card?
[06:24] <Ma1> micromoog, I had some problems with ati drivers so I would prefer nvidia
[06:24] <WhiteNoise> Ma1, just go through the componenets and check for compat. peice by peice.  Video, networking, mb chipset, touchpad, etc..  Dell w/ nvidia is usually a good bet
[06:24] <micromoog> It's the Intel one
[06:24] <griffiti93> hey everybody
[06:24] <micromoog> i915
[06:25] <Ma1> WhiteNoise, Ok thankyou, but how can I check for compatibility? Is there a section in the ubuntu website?
[06:25] <WhiteNoise> Ma1, it's more a matter of kernel (2.6) compatability, typically....
[06:25] <fender_freak01> i'm having some trouble with intel 2200bg working on a dell d505 with 6.06
[06:26] <WhiteNoise> wireless cards being maybe the biggest exception
[06:26] <Ma1> Whitenoise, what you mean?
[06:26] <fender_freak01> it will list networks in range and supposedly connect to them, but no internet and no router access
[06:26] <WhiteNoise> Ma1, I mean, it will be less an *ubuntu* thing and more of a linux thing.
[06:27] <Sktfeelsdapper> John did you try it?
[06:27] <Ma1> Ok, execpt for the wireless card
[06:27] <Sktfeelsdapper> Don't forget these "" <---
[06:27] <jasonjdp> Anybody know why the ubuntu installer freezes up when it goes graphical?  there are 2 errors just before the graphical installer pops up, "pci cannnot allocate resource region 3" and "cant read CTR while initializing i8042"
[06:27] <fender_freak01> any advice or anything to check
[06:27] <WhiteNoise> Ma1, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ <- for reviews of experiences with models.
[06:28] <jasonjdp> have never been able to install any version of ubuntu on this pc
[06:28] <benguin> hi there. anyone here using a asus-k8v mobo with an nvidia card?
[06:28] <Ma1> Whitenoise, thank you very much, I've been checking in linuxquestions.org for about an hour and I'm more confused than before :P
[06:28] <WhiteNoise> np...
[06:29] <john> no, it does not work
[06:30] <Sktfeelsdapper> same message?
, for me to even get steam open I have to put in this to terminal: WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine c:/Program\ Files/Steam/Steam.exe
[06:30] <Sktfeelsdapper> Did you try switching that first / to a \?
[06:30] <john> Sktfeelsdapper, then as soon as steam is up, It shutso down with the error I gave you
[06:30] <Sktfeelsdapper> Well nobody said wine was perfect.
[06:30] <Sktfeelsdapper> I just lost the ability to use IE
[06:31] <john> Sktfeelsdapper, I get this error If I do it that way:
, Fatal Error: Could not load mdule "bin/vgui2.dll"
[06:32] <swj> anyone using edgy noticed gnome system tools and system tools backends are being held?  Is this a mistake or should I just wait for something else to roll in?
[06:33] <Sktfeelsdapper> Hmm
[06:34] <Timmy|GDS> What directory are the dapper sources so i can change em to edgy
[06:34] <Sktfeelsdapper> I don't know, maybe it's not supported by Wine yet?
, any ideas?
[06:34] <Sktfeelsdapper> I'm deleting wine as we speak myself.
[06:34] <Sktfeelsdapper> So really I don't.
[06:34] <Sktfeelsdapper> I only really used it for mIRC.
[06:34] <Timmy|GDS> irssi
[06:34] <Timmy|GDS> gaim's irc is decent
[06:35] <Timmy|GDS> scatterchat owns though
[06:36] <Timmy|GDS> so...?
[06:39] <Sktfeelsdapper> john
[06:39] <Sktfeelsdapper> go to the #winehq room on this server.
[06:39] <Sktfeelsdapper> they'd be glad to help you.
[06:39] <john> kk
[06:39] <devicenull> last time I tried this install, my laptop froze right at/near the first startup of X
[06:39] <devicenull> hard froze too, only way out was the power button
[06:39] <MikeyMike> how do you check when people last logged in?
[06:39] <MikeyMike> via ssh
[06:40] <Sktfeelsdapper> Hey how do I remove a remote link on my desktop?
[06:40] <Sktfeelsdapper> Cause suddenly my second hard drive just appeared on my desktop and I don't need the link anymore.
[06:40] <wickedpuppy> nobody is answering ... so i go ..
[06:40] <wickedpuppy> Sktfeelsdapper, right click delete ?
[06:40] <ACU> guys, where SeverName should go in Apache 2.055?
[06:41] <MikeyMike> anything
[06:41] <Sktfeelsdapper> Well it's a remote link, so I'm afraid it's going to destroy my stuff.
[06:41] <Sktfeelsdapper> I don't know why my hard drive just suddenly appeared on my desk top.
[06:41] <wickedpuppy> MikeyMike, when you ssh , there will be a last login message .. Last login: Fri Sep 22 09:13:41 2006
[06:41] <MikeyMike> yeah but for yourself
[06:41] <MikeyMike> im talking about i want to know when someone else logged in last
[06:42] <wickedpuppy> Sktfeelsdapper, destroying the link won't destroy the stuff ...
[06:42] <Sktfeelsdapper> Ok.
[06:42] <Sktfeelsdapper> Can anyone tell me why my second hd just suddenly appeared on my desktop?
[06:42] <Sktfeelsdapper> I mean it's neat that it's there and all.
[06:42] <Sktfeelsdapper> That's what I wanted to begin with, but I have no idea how it got there.
[06:43] <wickedpuppy> suddenly appeared ? hmms ...
[06:43] <wickedpuppy> no idea
[06:43] <Sktfeelsdapper> I guess maybe it happened when I mounted it.
[06:44] <wickedpuppy> MikeyMike, try last command ...
[06:44] <wickedpuppy> thats what i can come up with for the last log in issue
[06:44] <MikeyMike> last command?
[06:44] <wickedpuppy> yah
[06:45] <wickedpuppy> command is "last"
[06:45] <wickedpuppy> lol
[06:45] <MikeyMike> this is all for MY user
[06:45] <MikeyMike> no?
[06:45] <MikeyMike> oh
[06:45] <MikeyMike> ok
[06:46] <wickedpuppy> MikeyMike, i can't test here cause i am the only user .. what ever i do all i see is my nick loggin in
[06:46] <wickedpuppy> lol
[06:46] <MikeyMike> wickedpuppy,  hmm
[06:46] <Sktfeelsdapper> Maybe I should try lastfm again, now that I have a grasp on things.
[06:46] <Sktfeelsdapper> Unless it suddenly decides not to work again.
[06:46] <MikeyMike> its only showing like the last 25 or so
[06:46] <MikeyMike> i want to see more
[06:47] <cipher_nemo> question, how do I get a root terminal window open in ubuntu? (or root access)?
[06:47] <Sktfeelsdapper> applications > accessories
[06:47] <Sktfeelsdapper> > terminal
[06:48] <cipher_nemo> that's not a "root" terminal
[06:48] <wickedpuppy> MikeyMike, try this last -n 100
[06:48] <briguyd> cipher_nemo, why do you want root?
[06:48] <MikeyMike> wickedpuppy,  did that already
[06:48] <JoseStefan> !tell cipher_nemo about root
[06:48] <MikeyMike> -n is the variable
[06:48] <briguyd> sudo works just as fine for most things
[06:48] <MikeyMike> it would be -50
[06:48] <MikeyMike> or -100
[06:48] <cipher_nemo> tI need root access to correct a silly mistake by ubuntu's apt-get gui
[06:48] <wickedpuppy> MikeyMike, oh
[06:48] <wickedpuppy> hmms ...
[06:48] <MikeyMike> cipher_nemo,  there's a program gsu
[06:48] <MikeyMike> or something like that
[06:49] <MikeyMike> i cant remember
[06:49] <cipher_nemo> what's sudo?
[06:49] <wickedpuppy> cipher_nemo, you mean synaptic ?
[06:49] <MikeyMike> fuck i cant remember
[06:49] <wickedpuppy> synaptic is always runs as root
[06:49] <MikeyMike> woops
[06:49] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: you mean synaptic? and there's gksu and gksudo; then on the console there's sudo, and to get to root you can do sudo -i, but it's not recommended
[06:49] <ladydoor> !language
[06:49] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:49] <MikeyMike> yeah GKSU
[06:49] <MikeyMike> thats it
[06:49] <cipher_nemo> yes, probably synaptic... it added the line "deb" in my sources.list... grrrr! I just want to remove it
[06:49] <cipher_nemo> and nothing after deb
[06:49] <MikeyMike> cipher_nemo,  use gksu
[06:49] <cipher_nemo> go figure
[06:49] <wickedpuppy> !tell cipher_nemo about sudo
[06:49] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: actually, it's easier to just edit your sources.list
[06:50] <cipher_nemo> k, thx :) I'll try those out
[06:50] <MikeyMike> cipher_nemo,  for root in gnome gksu
[06:50] <MikeyMike> i think
[06:50] <cipher_nemo> I want to edit it... I had the file open...  What's that? Is a 3D acceleration card? I'm used to nvidia or ati.... Will this work with ubuntu?
[06:50] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: don't chmod it
[06:50] <MikeyMike> yeah
[06:50] <MikeyMike> listen to ladydoor
[06:50] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: just read the instructions i posted a couple of lines up
[06:50] <cipher_nemo> <--- forces his way through when it's an obvious fix :) I'd chmod it back, honest ;)
[06:51] <MikeyMike> thats your best bet :)
[06:51] <cipher_nemo> k, thx ladydoor
[06:51] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: then when you're done do sudo apt-get update to update it; if you get no errors, that's good news.
[06:51] <Frustrated_Noob> well, now to try the ndiswrapper, but apparently, my wireless should work anyway.
[06:51] <Sktfeelsdapper> anyone else using last fm here?
[06:51] <cipher_nemo> ladydoor: thx
[06:51] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: np
[06:51] <Sktfeelsdapper> i'd really honestly like to know why it isn't working for me.
[06:52] <daurn> hi all
[06:53] <daurn> i can't get into my computer
[06:53] <daurn> i installed kubuntu-desktop
[06:53] <daurn> and when i type in u/p
[06:53] <daurn> it won't go in
[06:53] <Sktfeelsdapper> rut-roh!
[06:53] <daurn> just goes back to login screen
[06:53] <Sktfeelsdapper> did you try username password
[06:53] <daurn> now, i'm in irssi, i can't figure the damn thing out
[06:53] <Sktfeelsdapper> just out of curiousity?
[06:53] <daurn> of course
[06:53] <ladydoor> daurn: can you get into another window manager or desktop environment? also, is caps lock on?
[06:53] <ladydoor> !language
[06:53] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:54] <daurn> i tried an incorrect one as well
[06:54] <Flannel> daurn: try changing your session, at GDM/KDM push the session button and select the other one
[06:54] <daurn> and it said i have incorrect password
[06:54] <ladydoor> daurn: (or was caps on when you installed)
[06:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> !shut up
[06:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shut up - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> Haha
[06:54] <Sktfeelsdapper> j/k
[06:54] <daurn> i tried to go back to gnome
[06:54] <daurn> but it didn't work either
[06:54] <Flannel> daurn: what about their failsafe counterparts?
[06:54] <cipher_nemo> ladydoor et al: thx, the sudo works great! That was the only thing bugging me about ubuntu :)  The install process was so much better than Debian *shudder*
[06:54] <daurn> uh, how do i switch to another channel i'm in in irssi?
[06:55] <daurn> Flannel: i dunno
[06:55] <Flannel> daurn: alt-#
[06:55] <ladydoor> cipher_nemo: haha...good to know. glad stuff's working better now
[06:55] <Flannel> daurn: or /window [number]
[06:55] <Sktfeelsdapper> the install process the first time is ok..haha
[06:55] <Sktfeelsdapper> the second or third time it's kinda well...
[06:55] <daurn> failsafe worked
[06:55] <ladydoor> daurn: (or alt-n/alt-p to cycle forwards/backwards)
[06:55] <daurn> but, its just a terminal
[06:55] <daurn> :S
[06:55] <Flannel> daurn: er, terminal? no not rescue mode, failsafe gnome
[06:55] <cipher_nemo> anyone using or has used MythTV in ubuntu?
[06:55] <daurn> ladydoor: that seems to go pageup/down
[06:55] <chico> What software will allow me to create screensaver for ubuntu
[06:56] <Sktfeelsdapper> How about Last.fm?
[06:56] <Sktfeelsdapper> Anybody with alsa having problems with last fm?
[06:56] <ladydoor> daurn: oh, right! by default it's control-n/control-p, but i remapped it so that C-n/C-p could be history
[06:56] <daurn> i can't find failsafe gnome
[06:56] <Flannel> daurn: under sessions?
[06:57] <daurn> is it E-Gnome?
[06:57] <Flannel> daurn: this is at GDM/KDM, not grub
[06:57] <Flannel> E-gnome?
[06:57] <Senesence> Can someone try and install this font http://www.netalive.org/tinkering/triskweline/ I tried everything to get it working but for some reason it's just not getting detected.
[06:57] <mister_roboto> guys, i just got this error on an "apt-get update"  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25472/   will it fix itself on some later update or do i need to do something?
[06:57] <daurn> Flannel: i'm looking in the login screen
[06:57] <Flannel> mister_roboto: yeah, looks like the us mirror is having troubles
[06:57] <daurn> i've currently got the kubuntu look there
[06:57] <ladydoor> mister_roboto: you might try removing the "us." part
[06:58] <wickedpuppy> !edgy
[06:58] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[06:58] <Flannel> mister_roboto: if you need packages that aren't available, change your sources to not include us.
[06:58] <ladydoor> mister_roboto: that certainly helped for my install
[06:58] <Flannel> daurn: and, the sessions button doesn't have failsafe options?
[06:58] <daurn> and i click menu->sessions->KDE/Gnome/Failsafe/E-Gnome etc
[06:58] <daurn> Flannel: correct
[06:58] <daurn> btw, can we go to a different channel or anything
[06:58] <tyler_d> anyone know how I can sync my ipod using amarok?
[06:58] <Flannel> daurn: What is e-gnome?  and, what does failsafe boot into? kde or gnome?
[06:58] <daurn> most lines are too long in irssi
[06:59] <daurn> and its impossible to read with others talking
[06:59] <daurn> :S
[06:59] <ladydoor> daurn: that's what callings-out are for
[06:59] <daurn> Failsafe goes into a Terminal
[06:59] <Flannel> terminal?  that's odd.  You're using ubuntu? dapper? or what?
[06:59] <chico> What software will allow me to create screensaver for ubuntu
[06:59] <daurn> dapper
[06:59] <Sktfeelsdapper> !repositories
[06:59] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[06:59] <Sktfeelsdapper> How about those repositories aren't any good?
[07:00] <ladydoor> Sktfeelsdapper: eh? could you rephrase your question?
[07:00] <oem> anyone mind pinging my server for a sec?
[07:00] <britt> anybody know how to change the default resolution in xfce? I'm in a real tight spot right now and could use some help
[07:00] <daurn> Nothing seems to work
[07:00] <mister_roboto> thanks Flannel and ladydoor, that did it (removing us.)
[07:00] <daurn> i can't get into any guis
[07:00] <daurn> :S
[07:00] <ladydoor> mister_roboto: great!
[07:00] <britt> i'm just looking for a file path
[07:01] <oem> www.fashion-in-china.com <IP_ADDRESS> <- ping me pls
[07:01] <ladydoor> daurn: it's helpful to say the nick of whomever you're talking to
[07:01] <CorpseFeeder> hello! Can someone please tell me the link to the page which has the instructions for installing the restricted formats for playing DVDs and quicktime movies and stuff???
[07:01] <khaije1> britt: tried ctrl+alt plus plus
[07:01] <khaije1> ?
[07:01] <ladydoor> !codecs > CorpseFeeder
[07:01] <daurn> ladydoor: i don't know who
[07:01] <wickedpuppy> daurn, you just did
[07:01] <CorpseFeeder> thank you
[07:01] <wickedpuppy> lol
[07:01] <Senesence> No matter what I do I can't seem to install a PCF font. I place in in the /usr/share/fonts dir, I run fc-cache, but I still get nothing.
[07:02] <daurn> wickedpuppy: with my problem ;)
[07:02] <ladydoor> daurn: ok, let's try this:  sudo aptitude install fluxbox . Then try to log in to that
[07:02] <britt> khaije1: well theres a program to change it within the session
[07:02] <daurn> i tried fluxbox
[07:02] <britt> but my screen supports 800x600
[07:02] <daurn> it won't get in either
[07:02] <britt> and somehow my default res is 1024x768
[07:02] <britt> causes major problems when i go to login
[07:02] <tyler_d> mounting an ipod in amarok?
[07:03] <daurn> no GNOME, no KDE, no fluxbox, no enlightenment... none of them
[07:03] <khaije1> britt: the command i mentioned can be used within the session...
[07:03] <ladydoor> daurn: ok, how about this:  ls /usr/share/xsessons/
[07:03] <ladydoor> daurn: does anything come up?
[07:03] <daurn> uh
[07:03] <britt> khaije1: i need it outside of the session
[07:03] <daurn> where do i type it?
[07:03] <britt> liek gdm sort of mode
[07:03] <Sktfeelsdapper> so how do i find out if i have the right modules for my soundcard?
[07:03] <ladydoor> daurn: in the terminal you said you were in...
[07:04] <kuja> heh... I can't get sound working for crap
[07:04] <britt> and plus that doesnt work for some reason anyway
[07:04] <devicenull> okay, my laptop did it again
[07:04] <daurn> i'll do it in ctrl+alt+F4
[07:04] <britt> i cant figure out these keys
[07:04] <khaije1> oh, adjust the xorg.conf file?
[07:04] <devicenull> ~75% of the way through teh install
[07:04] <ladydoor> daurn: you might want to check out gnu screen...it'll make your life easier
[07:04] <devicenull> I think it tries to start X, and fails
[07:04] <Senesence> Is there any special trick to installing a PCF font on ubuntu? Does anyone know? I just can't seem to get it.
[07:04] <picochu> hi folks , how does one change the default python shell?
[07:04] <britt> khaije1: talking to me?
[07:04] <daurn> ladydoor: yeah
[07:04] <devicenull> but it ends up at a black screen with two white boxes on it
[07:04] <daurn> ladydoor: 13 of them
[07:04] <kuja> picochu, sudo update-alternatives --config python
[07:05] <Flannel> devicenull: which installer are you using?
[07:05] <picochu> thnx
[07:05] <kuja> You're welcome
[07:05] <ladydoor> !gnome
[07:05] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[07:05] <khaije1> britt: yup
[07:05] <devicenull> netinst
[07:05] <ladydoor> daurn: hmmm...ok, just a sec
[07:05] <devicenull> Flannel, netinstaller
[07:05] <kuja> I have a problem with getting sound working. I can't hear sound from flash in Firefox, but I can hear sound when playing some system sounds through GNOME's sound properties thing from System->Preferences->Sound
[07:05] <devicenull> via PXE, but I don't think that matters
[07:06] <Flannel> devicenull: no, so... that's the alternate.  No, it won't try to start X at all until everything is installed
[07:06] <Flannel> devicenull: and restarted
[07:06] <ladydoor> does anybody know what the name of the actual GNOME desktop (or KDE desktop) is? I'm *not* asking about the metapackage, and ubotu didn't return anything useful.
[07:06] <britt> khaije1: thanks.
[07:06] <britt> :)
[07:06] <daurn> i really need to get in :S i have some urgent stuff to do :(
[07:06] <kuja> ladydoor, gnome-window-decorator?
[07:06] <devicenull> Flannel, well.. a little before the install is done, the screen goes black with two white boxes
[07:06] <Senesence> kuja: Perhaps the flash movie you are playing requires a higher flash version. Currently flash 7 is the highest linux supports.
[07:07] <khaije1> britt: does that answer your question? afaik, xfce doesn't have a resolution config built in :-/
[07:07] <Flannel> ladydoor: what do you mean? gnome-desktop is a conglomeration of meta packages? what are you looking for?  gnome proper is in universe
[07:07] <ladydoor> kuja: not in the repositories
[07:07] <devicenull> the problem is, the install has not completed to a point where I can reboot and log in
[07:07] <kuja> Senesence: It was working before. I'm trying stuff from myspace and youtube that both worked on a different computer (using LiveCD)
[07:07] <daurn> ladydoor: ?
[07:07] <ladydoor> Flannel: i'm trying to figure out what to tell daurn to dpkg-reconfigure
[07:07] <Flannel> ladydoor: ah, let me take a look
[07:08] <ladydoor> Flannel: doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop will only reconfigure the meta-package and probably won't rewrite the .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions
[07:08] <devicenull> any suggestions?
[07:08] <Senesence> kuja: Did you use EasyUbuntu to get flash player?
[07:08] <daurn> ladydoor: i have 13 .desktop things in there
[07:08] <kuja> Senesence: No, I did a manual install using the flash-installer distributed by Adobe/Macromedia
[07:08] <kuja> And it was working fine.
[07:08] <jasonjdp> Anybody know why the ubuntu installer freezes up when it goes graphical?  there are 2 errors just before the graphical installer pops up, "pci cannnot allocate resource region 3" and "cant read CTR while initializing i8042"
[07:08] <daurn> can i change the login screen to something else?
[07:08] <ladydoor> daurn: right. and there seems to be some kind of problem with them...oh, wait a sec! are you using gdm, kdm, or xdm?
[07:08] <Flannel> ladydoor: might try gnome-session
[07:09] <kuja> What does EasyUbuntu do that I did differently, Senesence?
[07:09] <devicenull> I dont suppose that the installer brings up a SSH server by default?
[07:09] <ladydoor> Flannel: thanks muchly
[07:09] <daurn> (this is the first time i've seen the kubuntu thing - previouly i've gotten what i *think* is the gnome one)
[07:09] <devicenull> because then I could get in and figure out whats going on
[07:09] <daurn> ladydoor: *dm ?????????????
[07:09] <Senesence> kuja: Yea, I know it was working fine, but maybe EasyUbuntu installs something else for sound that the flash player doesn't by itself.
[07:09] <Flannel> ladydoor: or nautilus, if that doesnt
[07:09] <ladydoor> daurn: ok, try this:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm kdm xdm gnome-session nautilus
[07:09] <Senesence> kuja: It's worth a try.
[07:09] <kuja> Okay
[07:09] <ladydoor> daurn: and then try getting into gnome again.
[07:10] <ladydoor> Flannel: thanks
[07:10] <devicenull> I guess there's no solution to this?
[07:10] <daurn> uh, nothing much happneded
[07:10] <ladydoor> devicenull: just because nobody knows doesn't mean there's no solution--just that we don't know.
[07:10] <Senesence> Heh, and I'm stuck on installing a pcf font. Figures.
[07:11] <Flannel> devicenull: you'd have to know more about the problem, no, no SSH server by default, old server installs did
[07:11] <ladydoor> daurn: you still can't get in?
[07:11] <devicenull> I cant think of any way to figure out whats going on
[07:11] <devicenull> I can't get into any of the remote consoles
[07:11] <Flannel> daurn: you didn't get sent to a place that asks you a bunch of questions?
[07:11] <devicenull> *alternate
[07:11] <devicenull> I can't kill the running process
[07:11] <daurn> Flannel: i got 1 question
[07:11] <devicenull> I basically can do nothing but hit the power button
[07:11] <daurn> it was: choose, kdm or gdm
[07:11] <daurn> i picked gdm
[07:11] <Flannel> devicenull: you might try checking launchpad for a bugreport
[07:12] <Flannel> daurn: try that same line, but without the gdm/kdm/xdm thing, just gnome-session
[07:12] <ladydoor> daurn: cool. finish it out, then try to log into gnome
[07:12] <devicenull> one question, is it possible to go from a server install to a desktop install?
[07:12] <devicenull> because the server one completes sucessfully
[07:12] <khaije1> devicenull: i've had to do that many times
[07:12] <ladydoor> devicenull: sudo aptitude install *buntu-desktop (*=u/ku/xu)
[07:12] <devicenull> ok, I'll do it that way
[07:13] <devicenull> thx
[07:13] <ladydoor> devicenull: np
[07:13] <Flannel> devicenull: you'll also have to swap kernels, the server install installs one that isn't well suited for desktop usage
[07:13] <devicenull> I'm planning on recompiling it anyway
[07:13] <Senesence> Can someone tell me how to install a pcf font :)

[07:14] <daurn> didn't work
[07:15] <oem> www.fashion-in-china.com <IP_ADDRESS> <- ping me pls!
[07:15] <ladydoor> daurn: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure fluxbox, and then try to log into that, maybe
[07:15] <ladydoor> oem: why?
[07:15] <fgh_lo> hi. im resetting my smb share but if i do 'smbpasswd -L sambauser' i get 'failed to find entry user sambauser'
[07:15] <ladydoor> oem: also, what's wrong with the word "please?" it's so much prettier with all the letters
[07:16] <daurn> ladydoor: nothing
[07:16] <daurn> well, it did its thing
[07:16] <daurn> outputted nothing
[07:16] <valehru> Does anyone know a good application that I can use to create a network diagram?  i.e. shows links to PC's, routers, hubs etc?
[07:16] <daurn> and i tried to login to a fuxbox session
[07:16] <daurn> 'and it faile
[07:16] <daurn> d
[07:16] <cipher_nemo> can I install Debian packages (ubuntu 6.06.1 is built upon Debian, but which version, sarge or etch?)
[07:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> I have an interesting question
[07:17] <FunnyLookinHat> cipher_nemo, it is strongly NOT recommended to add debian repos to your sources.list
[07:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> I had a remote link on my desktop that I deleted.
[07:17] <ladydoor> daurn: ok, desperate times call for desparate measures. do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[07:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> To my second hd
[07:17] <harisund> cipher_nemo, in general, binary compatibility might not be maintained.
[07:17] <ladydoor> daurn: we're going to try to log you in using startx
[07:17] <cipher_nemo> FunnyLookinHat: I need to to run MythTV and install lame
[07:17] <Sktfeelsdapper> Now all the sudden I can't get into my hd from the command line
[07:18] <Sktfeelsdapper> from the desktop
[07:18] <FunnyLookinHat> cipher_nemo, mythTV is in ubuntu multiverse repositories
[07:18] <daurn> ladydoor: this is particulary hard... since i can't copy/paste
[07:18] <FunnyLookinHat> !multiverse
[07:18] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:18] <cipher_nemo> harisund: MythTV is a source distribution, not binary... but lame is binary
[07:18] <Flannel> !mythtv
[07:18] <ubotu> mythtv is for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
[07:18] <ladydoor> daurn: that's why you should use gnu screen.
[07:18] <cipher_nemo> cool, thx!
[07:18] <oem> mythtv is on digg
[07:18] <oem> :)
[07:18] <ladydoor> daurn: luckily, there's tab-completion in bash
[07:18] <FunnyLookinHat> cipher_nemo, you can also get LAME on the multiverse repositories irrc
[07:18] <oem> u can see a video on how to set it up
[07:18] <daurn> ladydoor: gnu screen?
[07:18] <fgh_lo> is it possible to add samba users using this method? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588&highlight=sftp
[07:19] <daurn> ladydoor: your message is already 3 page ups away
[07:19] <ladydoor> daurn: it multiplexes a terminal and comes with other features, like copy/paste.
[07:19] <cipher_nemo> ahh, ubuntu xchat is so much better than Debian's binary of it... I love the "open link in browser" from right click :)
[07:19] <harisund> cipher_nemo, the Xchat build I am using on my Windows box works the same way too :) ...I thought it worked in Debian as well.. hmmm...
[07:19] <ladydoor> daurn: for the moment, however, you can just scroll back up to it and enter it from there.
[07:19] <picochu> kuja i tried update-alternatives --list python but i don't get anything listed
[07:19] <fgh_lo> anyone?
[07:20] <cipher_nemo> harisund: nope, it only has "copy link"
[07:20] <harisund> cipher_nemo, ah ok ...
[07:20] <oem> can someone in america ping my site

[07:20] <oem> www.fashion-in-china.com <IP_ADDRESS> <- ping me pls!
[07:20] <FunnyLookinHat> oem, please stop spamming that.
[07:20] <cipher_nemo> harisund: I dumped Debian 3.1 r3 sarge because its 686 kernel would never mount my DVD-RW... ubuntu sees it with np
[07:20] <oem> ok sorry
[07:20] <daurn> ladydoor: done... so far
[07:20] <oem> didnt think you saw it :P
[07:21] <daurn> noob-saibot: get rid of MK name.... NOW!
[07:21] <ladydoor> oem: a) why? b) why not spell out the whole word "please"
[07:21] <harisund> oem, for the record.. I am able to access that site on my browser... though it is kind of slow in coming up ...
[07:21] <FunnyLookinHat> oem, sorry, we saw it...  I'll ping it now for you
[07:21] <oem> thanks
[07:21] <hastesaver> Is it possible to record whatever is playing to a file? (Is it possible to capture soundcard's output?)
[07:21] <cipher_nemo> you guys rock! :) this iirc community for ubuntu is so much more active and encouraging than other unnamed O/Sed ;)
[07:21] <daurn> ladydoor,Flannel : what now?
[07:21] <FunnyLookinHat> oem, so far it is timing out.
[07:22] <ladydoor> daurn: ok, that should've killed x. now do sudo nano -w ~/.xinitrc
[07:22] <oem> ladydoor: a) im in china, my server is in america b) please
[07:22] <oem> FunnyLookinHat: are you in america?
[07:22] <harisund> cipher_nemo, yeah I know. Only Gentoo's IRC channel has been as helpful, if not more. Truly feels great, doesn't it?
[07:22] <FunnyLookinHat> oem, yes.
[07:22] <ladydoor> daurn: this'll create a new file in your home dir called .xinitrc.
[07:22] <cipher_nemo> harisund: absolutely :)

[07:22] <tyler_d> strange wireless issues.... anyone help with the connection of a wmp54gs using ubuntu dapper?

[07:23] <oem> its supposed to be hosted in a fast server in america
[07:23] <Flannel> tyler_d: wmp54gs? or wrt54gs?
[07:23] <FunnyLookinHat> oem, lol
[07:23] <oem> http://www.fashion-in-china.com does that work
[07:23] <oem> if it doesnt i'm calling them out

[07:24] <oem> ok thanks
[07:24] <Senesence> Is there some special trick to installing a pcf font on ubuntu?
[07:24] <ladydoor> daurn: then see my paste: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25476/
[07:25] <daurn> i can't get to web
[07:25] <daurn> links is broken
[07:25] <ladydoor> daurn: you're in irc--you have internet
[07:25] <tyler_d> Flannel: its a wmp54gs
[07:25] <Rondom> Senesence: I'm not sure, but if I remember it correctly you have to  convert it with a tool
[07:25] <ladydoor> daurn: oh. in that case, install w3m:  sudo aptitude install w3m
[07:25] <Senesence> Rondom: Conver to what?
[07:25] <daurn> ladydoor: i'm console only, and i ave no browser :P
[07:25] <Rondom> Senesence: pcf2bdf or pcftobdf...., can't remember
[07:26] <herman_munster> how can i record all sounds that play on my system. eg if i can hear it from my speakers, it is recorded
[07:26] <valehru> Is there anyplace I can get KIVO stencil sets for free?
[07:26] <ladydoor> daurn: links is text-based. as is w3m--which is why i suggested you install it.
[07:26] <ladydoor> daurn: see also my suggestion "sudo aptitude install w3m"
[07:26] <Senesence> Rondom: It said bdf to pcf, but it doesnt detect pcf for some reason, and it should.
[07:26] <harisund> daurn, didn't you get my PM? I just PMed you what ladydoor had posted
[07:26] <Flannel> !tell Senesence about font
[07:26] <wickedpuppy> daurn, install lynx and browse

[07:26] <ladydoor> harisund: thank you :-)
[07:27] <Flannel> theres a link there to the X documentation, since it's the same, search the page for PCF, etc
[07:27] <Senesence> Did that, didn't work. This was the font used http://www.netalive.org/tinkering/triskweline/
[07:27] <|daurn|> ah
[07:27] <|daurn|> awesome
[07:27] <daurn> exit
[07:27] <daurn> ah
[07:27] <daurn> uh
[07:27] <|daurn|> ok
[07:27] <|daurn|> i got it working
[07:28] <ladydoor> |daurn|: are you daurn with just a harder-to-type name, i take it?
[07:28] <ladydoor> |thunder: cool.
[07:28] <tyler_d> anyone know wireless?? wmp54gs not showing up in panel, even after enabling it through System>>Administration>>Networking??
[07:28] <ladydoor> |thunder: sorry, not you
[07:28] <daurnimator> just did /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:28] <ladydoor> daurnimator: wait! no! why?
[07:28] <daurnimator> and i got an xbuntu login
[07:28] <daurnimator> and, i picked KDE
[07:28] <daurnimator> and it worked
[07:29] <daurnimator> seems my kdm is broken
[07:29] <ladydoor> daurnimator: ah. well, congratulations!
[07:29] <fgh_lo> is it possible to add samba users using this method? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588&highlight=sftp
[07:29] <keiron> someone please help me. i screwed up and now i get the error 'keiron is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.'. how does one add a user to the sudoers file?
[07:29] <daurnimator> i think when i restart, i'll get the same problem
[07:29] <Rondom> Senesence: there's a tool called pcf2bdf, it's in debian, but not in ubuntu
[07:29] <hastesaver> Shouldn't it be possible to capture soundcard's output to a file? Windows had programs for this... :(
[07:30] <natsk> how do i play mp3 and wma files on ubuntu?
[07:30] <Rondom> Senesence: maybe the debian package works, or compile yourself
[07:30] <ladydoor> daurnimator: sudo aptitude remove --purge kdm
[07:30] <wickedpuppy> !mp3
[07:30] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:30] <ladydoor> daurnimator: that will get rid of kdm, and it's alright to uninstall kubuntu-desktop
[07:30] <Senesence> Rondom: pcf is supposed to work according to the tutorial in ubuntu docs.
[07:30] <daurnimator> it is?

[07:30] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[07:30] <daurnimator> i like kubuntu
[07:31] <whitedeth> I'm having a really ugly bug with ubuntu
[07:31] <ladydoor> daurnimator: as that package is only used during dist-upgrades...the "real" kde is actually many packages--kubuntu-desktop just installs them all.
[07:31] <whitedeth> anyone care to explain what's goin on?
[07:31] <Rondom> Senesence: ok
[07:31] <whitedeth> Everytime I access a website with flash content on it, it'll automatically close my firefox web browser.
[07:31] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, not till you tell us what's happening :P
[07:31] <daurnimator> ok
[07:31] <whitedeth> I've tried re-installing flash to no avail.
[07:31] <wickedpuppy> whitedeth, we see lots of flash problems ...
[07:31] <whitedeth> I know, Adobe sucks :(
[07:31] <wickedpuppy> btw its not ubuntu bug ... since it can also be on kubuntu or on any linux
[07:32] <whitedeth> but now I cant access a single website I want to?!
[07:32] <fgh_lo> can someone help me w/ my samba share?
[07:32] <Sktfeelsdapper> my flash is all kindsa screwed up.
[07:32] <ladydoor> keiron: do you still have a user in the sudoers file?
[07:32] <Sktfeelsdapper> actually i don't know if it's just linux
[07:32] <ladydoor> keiron: (i.e., a user who can sudo?)
[07:32] <whitedeth> well, whatever heh, im in Ubuntu, so it's a bug im having in Ubuntu ;)
[07:32] <whitedeth> So anyway, anyone got any suggestions other than reinstalling Dapper? :|
[07:32] <keiron> ladydoor: no, but I have a script that is run as root every 24 hours that i can put commands in to sort this problem out :)
[07:32] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, do you have any bookmarks or firefox settings you wish to keep?
[07:32] <Sktfeelsdapper> well my other half has windows and it's all outta sync for him.
[07:32] <Senesence> whitedeth: Reinstall flash...again.
[07:33] <whitedeth> DarkMageZ simply one bookmark.
[07:33] <ladydoor> keiron: you have access to this script as a normal user, but it's run as root? that's dangerous.
[07:33] <hastesaver> whitedeth, you can, of course, get the Flashblock extension for Firefox ;-)
[07:33] <keiron> ladydoor: basically, i used usermod to try and add a group and it removed all my groups and just added the one i requested
[07:33] <whitedeth> hastesaver: Seeing as how I'm a freelance flash designer...that isnt exactly practical :P
[07:33] <hastesaver> whitedeth, or use a different browser, which may not have that problem (konqueror, epiphany, galeon, ...)
[07:33] <Sktfeelsdapper> my flash is outta sink but hey, i got it working with 2 thigns at once.
[07:33] <Ma1> hey does anyone know a little about macbooks?
[07:33] <whitedeth> Konqueror on Ubuntu?
[07:33] <Sktfeelsdapper> is master mono suppose to be unchecked btw?
[07:33] <whitedeth> isnt it Kubuntu only??
[07:33] <ladydoor> keiron: yeah, that's a problem. you need to put yourself into the admin group, and then you'll be able to sudo again.
[07:33] <Senesence> whitedeth: You can design flach on linux?
[07:34] <whitedeth> Senesence, no I have more than one computer.
[07:34] <tyler_d> how do I enable a wireless card through term?
[07:34] <keiron> ladydoor: aah, thank you! i added myself to the sudo group but not admin :)
[07:34] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, ok, there's a folder called .mozilla in /home/username/ rename it to .mozilla2 and then "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree"
[07:34] <keiron> thanks ladydoor
[07:34] <ladydoor> keiron: yeah, it's tricky. good luck!
[07:34] <whitedeth> tyler_d: sudo ifconfig <interface> up
[07:34] <hastesaver> whitedeth, installing it will download the kdelibs too (if you haven't already installed some KDE app like Amarok or k3b), but it will run fine on your GNOME desktop
[07:34] <Ma1> what's the video card in a macbook?
[07:35] <DarkMageZ> Ma1, it's an intel i950 iirc
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> Ma1, i believe it's intel 950
[07:35] <ladydoor> Ma1: install pciutils and then do lspci...that should give you some useful (but confusing) info :-)
[07:35] <Sktfeelsdapper> I wanna know if because i removed my remote link from second hd to the desktop if it's going to effect anything because i can't get to it via the terminal and desktop where it was
[07:35] <hastesaver> whitedeth, Ubuntu and Kubuntu are just names for what desktop they have by default; you can run either on the other :)
[07:35] <whitedeth> oh
[07:35] <natsk> thanks
[07:35] <Ma1> I don't have a macbook, I'm shopping right now
[07:35] <whitedeth> DarkMagez: Done.
[07:35] <tyler_d> whitedeth: what if my wireless card shows up in the network manager and not through that?
[07:36] <Ma1> intel 950 seems to be everywhere in the laptops
[07:36] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, ok, now visit a page with flash on it
[07:36] <whitedeth> tyler_d: What card?
[07:36] <Ma1> does it works with 3D?
[07:36] <natsk> where do i find drivers for my printer?
[07:36] <tyler_d> whitedeth: wmp54gs
[07:36] <whitedeth> tyler_id:  sudo iwlist scan
[07:36] <FunnyLookinHat> Mal, it's not a bad graphics card...  works well enough.   But you won't be able to play any games with cedega I don't think
[07:36] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, no crashie?
[07:36] <hastesaver> natsk, ideally, you shouldn't need them; they should be recognised automatically... have you tried seeing if it works already?
[07:37] <whitedeth> DarkMageZ: No :D
[07:37] <DarkMageZ> whitedeth, no flash?
[07:37] <Ma1> I don't need games, I'm a 3D animator
[07:37] <whitedeth> DarkMageZ: Lemme try a page that's flash-only.
[07:37] <Ma1> I do 3D motion pictures with blender
