[06:16] <X-m> hello
[06:17] <msshams> i want connect to our network using wlan
[06:17] <msshams> ubuntu detects wlan. i create a dhcp connection via ubuntu network manager.
[06:17] <msshams> when i try starting networking it cant receive ip from dhcp.
[06:17] <msshams> after this when i run iwconfig, see that my wlan0 configured. and iwlist wlan0 scan says: no scan result.
[06:17] <msshams> can you help me please?
[06:17] <DankTank3> ok so again...  atheros ar5007 chipset for wireless...  wont connect anymore...  currently using ndiswrapper, and that is what worked within the last week.  Now it simply will not connect and I am stuck wire bound.
[06:17] <kim_> I don't mean hiberation, I just want to suspend computer in terminal by command
[06:17] <kim_> in Ubuntu 8.04
[06:18] <dru> hey when i try loading a backup i made it says .. cannot mount volume .. invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' ... how do i mount the cd?
[06:18] <Ramzi> wouldn't sleep work?
[06:18] <miles_> damn i am no good at this
[06:18] <kim_> sleep work well by GUI
[06:18] <miles_> I read the page
[06:18] <Fryguy--> kim_: try /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh
[06:18] <folioli> fryguy: examples of what it does is collect number of bytes rec'd and transmitted per second. I'm looking for something that will give me stats on average disk queue length and average network queue length
[06:18] <miles_> And I have the bit torrent download client
[06:18] <Fryguy--> kim_: that's what first google result says
[06:18] <miles_> but I cant find or download a bittorrent file
[06:18] <kim_> yes I saw it
[06:19] <Fryguy--> miles_: what makes you think you need a bittorrent client
[06:19] <DankTank3> miles
[06:19] <miles_> i dont know
[06:19] <msshams> DankTank3: my link quality in iwconfig is 72/100
[06:19] <kim_> but doen't it work it when booting?
[06:19] <Fryguy--> miles_: what specifically are you trying to do
[06:19] <DankTank3> msshams
[06:19] <msshams> DankTank3: i haven't ndiswrapper command
[06:19] <DankTank3> mine is 100
[06:19] <miles_> get use a peer to peer network to download files
[06:19] <kim_> i don't know how running .sh in terminal
[06:19] <DankTank3> hey im stuck too lol
[06:19] <tarelerulz> Have have movie in rar files .   How would I play the movie while it is in rar with out extracting it ?
[06:19] <miles_> through bittorrent
[06:19] <SubOne> is there a better channel i should be asking my bluetooth question in?
[06:20] <unop> tarelerulz, how do you read a book that you have in your backpack?
[06:20] <Fryguy--> miles_: so search on the internet, find the torrent file that you want, load it into your torrent client, and then you are done
[06:20] <miles_> okay
[06:20] <raj> i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager
[06:20] <miles_> i will try
[06:20] <thorny_sun> unop: this does not seem to be working-- each new package gives an error that another is needed..  is there no way to do this in a more automated way/-- similar to how aptitude does it normally
[06:20] <unop> raj, build-essential
[06:20] <Fryguy--> miles_: the torrent client doesn't  have the ability to search for content, it just takes a torrent you already have and downloads it.  you need to get your torrents from another source
[06:20] <msshams> DankTank3: this is good to know that my wlan some times can connect but some time can't connect
[06:20] <DankTank3> miles:  yes, search for a file with the word torrent followed by it
[06:20] <msshams> DankTank3: can you help me?
[06:20] <xsmatt81_> Hello does anyone know how to apply Overclock with NVclock GTK, I have fan speed settings working, but oc sliders do not take. help
[06:20] <DankTank3> no, i am here for help myself....  im sorry
[06:20] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: are you running the command as root
[06:21] <DankTank3> if i could help you, i certainly would
[06:21] <raj> what should i choose in synaptic mangaer
[06:21] <unop> thorny_sun, not really -- you could use the regular intrepid repositories at the risk of breaking your system
[06:21] <Fryguy--> raj: "build-essential"
[06:21] <xsmatt81_> now im using the GTK version
[06:21] <Fryguy--> raj: I think, i don't use ubuntu
[06:21] <nazgul> Ubuntu 8.04 and pidgin: does not connect to login.oscar.aol.com any more, asks for pidgin upgrade. known problem?
[06:21] <thorny_sun> unop: can i go back and undo whatever damage i've done?
[06:21] <tarelerulz> unop I have heard vlc does that ,but it don't work so well most the time or not at all.  I thought I heard of way to do it by pipline unrar into say media player like mmplayer ,but I have no idea how that works
[06:21] <DankTank3> apparently noone can help with wireless problems here
[06:21] <folioli> fryguy: any ideas on that disk/network monitoring?
[06:21] <xsmatt81_> i made a launcher to NVclock-GTK on desktop, from /usr/bin/NVclock
[06:21] <miles_> so that is how is works
[06:21] <miles_> ohh
[06:21] <Fryguy--> folioli: no
[06:22] <miles_> then what would you call eMule
[06:22] <folioli> fryguy: thanks
[06:22] <miles_> and how do you get that
[06:22] <Fryguy--> miles_: in this context? I would call it "not bittorrent"
[06:22] <miles_> okay, but you can use it to share and download files.. right?
[06:22] <unop> thorny_sun, look at all the .deb files in the current directory -- they correspond to packages that you've installed, just remove those packages
[06:22] <Fryguy--> sure
[06:22] <DankTank3> miles, use azureus...  go search for a torrent you want..  and please let those of us that need real help get it
[06:22] <miles_> soo how can i get it
[06:22] <raj>  i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager
[06:23] <tarelerulz> What is the different between Emule and bit torrent ?
[06:23] <miles_> azureus
[06:23] <miles_> oaky
[06:23] <miles_> sorry
[06:23] <DankTank3> in ubuntu, it is preinstalled
[06:23] <dqb> how do I get out of man? cntrl o?
[06:23] <Fryguy--> dqb: q
[06:23] <SubOne> q
[06:23] <Ramzi> :q
[06:23] <xsmatt81_> hmm so busy
[06:23] <dqb> duh...
[06:23] <dqb> thx
[06:23] <raj>  i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager can any ne help me ?
[06:23] <DankTank3> can anyone help us that need help connecting wirelessly?
[06:23] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: you run it as root just like you run any other command as root, using sudo
[06:24] <SubOne> gcc
[06:24] <xsmatt81_> ok will give that a try
[06:24] <Ramzi> raj, repeating a question won't help
[06:24] <Fryguy--> if you need a graphical screen to type password in instead of a console one, use gksu
[06:24] <albuntu> Fryguy-- i rebooted but it still doesnt work. my router is an dlink dsl-g624t. i went to advanced > virtual server > Servers and added web server to the applied rules. rebooted the router , restarted ddclient but still the url from dyndns takes me to the router. could you please tell me what could i have done wrong ?
[06:24] <unop> tarelerulz, afaik, there is no way to unrar a file to stdout to use in a pipeline
[06:24] <SubOne> raj: gcc
[06:24] <DankTank3> raj..  google
[06:24] <Fryguy--> raj: we already answered you, install build-essential
[06:24] <tarelerulz> miles, Azureus is good program ,but take way more to set up then any other client I have ever used.  Utorrent is just as good and deluge or some other client it better to me
[06:24] <xsmatt81_> thank you
[06:24] <DankTank3> utorrent is great
[06:24] <Fryguy--> albuntu: you have misconfigured your router is what you've done wrong
[06:24] <unop> raj, sudo aptitude install build-essential
[06:25] <DankTank3> but it isnt for ubuntu unless you use parallels or wine right?
[06:25] <SubOne> Does anyone know if there is a regular in here that will be in later that knows about this bluetooth stuff?
[06:25] <Fryguy--> SubOne: no
[06:25] <albuntu> Fryguy-- there is no misconfiguration. everything is ok. i checked them
[06:25] <miles_> Thank you for your help and your patience
[06:25] <unop> albuntu, did you check to see if your router is listening on the WAN interface?
[06:25] <Fryguy--> albuntu: if there is no misconfiguration, then it works..
[06:25] <SubOne> no guy or no you dont know
[06:25] <DankTank3> Does anyone know if there is a regular that can help with wireless connection problems in ubuntu 8.04?
[06:25] <Fryguy--> SubOne: both
[06:25] <miles_> Sorry for being so confused
[06:25] <hyougin> Does anyone know how to reset video drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed?
[06:25] <SubOne> ic lol
[06:25] <Metatron> trying to make a symlink with ln -s  but path has spaces in it on ntfs partition, trying " and ' but cant get it right
[06:26] <aditza81> hello
[06:26] <DankTank3> miles if you go read up a bit, you will be set :)
[06:26] <albuntu> Fryguy-- than from what i said before where do you think the misconfiguration is ?
[06:26] <Fryguy--> Metatron: just use tab complete to complete it
[06:26] <Fryguy--> or escape with \
[06:26] <miles_> Thanks I got it =)
[06:26] <DankTank3> me on the other hand has been reading for 4 days
[06:26] <miles_> bye
[06:26] <Fryguy--> albuntu: settings not being saved or enabled, or another setting is overring the virtual server (dmz configured for another machine, for example)
[06:26] <DankTank3> and to no avail im screwed it seems
[06:26] <xsmatt81_> typed sudo gksu /usr/bin/nvclock_gtk
[06:26] <Fryguy--> albuntu: or you turned remote administration on in the past
[06:26] <albuntu> Fryguy-- dmz is disabled at all
[06:26] <xsmatt81_> gthe program comes up, but still not able to apply OC..
[06:27] <DankTank3> this channel is a clusterf**k
[06:27] <DankTank3> sheesh
[06:27] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: not really
[06:27] <[TIM]Indyroo> lolwhat
[06:27] <unop> !language | DankTank3
[06:27] <dqb> ok, I'm in as root
[06:27] <[TIM]Indyroo> Thinking of getting ubuntu
[06:27] <[TIM]Indyroo> XDDD
[06:27] <DankTank3> sorry
[06:27] <[TIM]Indyroo> :)
[06:27] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: there's only a few people talking, pretty easy to keep up
[06:27] <dqb> err.
[06:27] <xsmatt81_> maybe NVclock is not good for 8800GTX
[06:27] <dqb> i need to do this when I can think
[06:27] <hyougin> anyone?
[06:28] <xsmatt81_> wish unix had working rivatuner
[06:28] <DankTank3> i am keeping up...  jes noone here knows anything about wireless?
[06:28] <Jester45> DankTank3: its jsut part of irc and the reason you shouldnt !enter or !repeat
[06:28] <Fryguy--> hyougin: there should be a backup of your xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[06:28] <manguy> Sorry, a newbie question.  I'm looking at free -m right now, and it says under used for swap 20mb.  But for free under buffers/cache, I have 187mb.  Does this mean that 20mb was used at some point but is not necessarily being used now?
[06:28] <xsmatt81_> Wine was no help with rivatuner because of the memory i/o mapping, just will not work
[06:28] <albuntu> Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past.
[06:28] <DankTank3> enter or repeat what?
[06:28] <DankTank3> eh?
[06:28] <thorny_sun> unop: is intrepid horribly unstable?
[06:28] <Fryguy--> manguy: it's probably being used now
[06:28] <manguy> Ah.
[06:29] <[TIM]Indyroo> 0.0
[06:29] <thorny_sun> unop: and how would i upgrade?
[06:29] <DankTank3> jester45, if you are going to correct me, at least explain what you mean
[06:29] <xsmatt81_> I read about adding "coolbits 1" to x11org.conf Fry guy
[06:29] <[TIM]Indyroo> http://www.zdaemon.org/
[06:29] <[TIM]Indyroo> :)
[06:29] <xsmatt81_> are you familiar with such
[06:29] <unop> thorny_sun, well, it depends on how you use it really - it's still alpha (i beleive) for a reason
[06:29] <xsmatt81_> i tried adding, but have to rebuild x11 file
[06:29] <Jester45> manguy: it mean that 20mb of real memory has been swaped out but still "inuse" by some program the buffers/cache is old swap that isnt needed or used right now
[06:29] <hyougin> Does anyone know how to reset video (graphic card) drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed?
[06:29] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: nobody knows anything about your specific wireless setup in here, but google certainly does.  I'm sure you have a well documented wireless card
[06:30] <Fryguy--> hyougin: i just told you, there should be a backup xorg.conf in /etc/X11/
[06:30] <unop> thorny_sun, well, have a look at apt-pinning - it allows you to use a mixed system i.e. hardy/intrepid (but be warned, this needs to be done properly(
[06:30] <unop> )
[06:30] <DankTank3> google is going to charge me if i search for this anymore
[06:30] <DankTank3> lol
[06:30] <hyougin> I tried the backup
[06:30] <DankTank3> i have combed it thoroughly
[06:30] <hyougin> it wouldnt work
[06:30] <hyougin> i tried a fresh one
[06:30] <hyougin> wouldnt work
[06:30] <xsmatt81_> hyougin why not try Envy
[06:30] <raj>  i did sudo apt install build-essential but its giving like.... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)  E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:30] <hyougin> i have.
[06:30] <gdo_> ``Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!`` - I`m getting this problem. Everything was ok, but I instaled some wrong drivers and got this... I reinstalled everything(partitions, ubuntu...) and the problem continues :-(. Can you help me?
[06:30] <hyougin> everything i have tried has failed
[06:30] <DankTank3> but thanks for at least telling me something
[06:30] <DankTank3> :)
[06:30] <albuntu> raj you have synaptic open
[06:30] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: if that is the case, then you probably have a card that doesn't work in linux, and maybe you should consider spending a little bit of money and just buy a card that has good linux support and save yourself some time
[06:30] <xsmatt81_> it should work, or go into synaptic and uninstall, then reboot and then go into recovery mode
[06:30] <unop> raj, close down synaptic or adept or whatever else you have open
[06:31] <albuntu> raj close synaptic and try again
[06:31] <xsmatt81_> recover x11
[06:31] <DankTank3> i did work b4
[06:31] <Ramzi> hyougin: use envyng
[06:31] <hyougin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846906 <-for anyone who has a minute or two to spare. pls & ty
[06:31] <manguy> Jester45: Ah, ok I understand.  But if I do a top and look at the memory usage, it is not using 100% of the memory.  Where would the swap come from exactly?
[06:31] <DankTank3> thats what is so frustrating
[06:31] <raj> yes
[06:31] <Fryguy--> raj: so make sure you aren't installing anything else or have the package manager open
[06:31] <hyougin> i tried ng as well
[06:31] <xsmatt81_> then use the unbuntu driver manager
[06:31] <albuntu> Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past.
[06:31] <DankTank3> but no matter, noone here has the skill
[06:31] <Fryguy--> albuntu: no
[06:31] <DankTank3> ill jes idle and help as i can
[06:31] <jester7> anybody here know a lot about the enterprise support from canonical?
[06:31] <Jester45> DankTank3: i wasnt correcting just saying the reason we dont like !enter or !repeaters is because it can get really hard to keep up for new users getting help, if they are trying to run a program look back at the chat and we are aready 3 pages farther down he/she can get confused
[06:31] <unop> albuntu, check that remote administration is disabled
[06:31] <albuntu> Fryguy-- ok than where is the misconfiguration because dmz is disabled
[06:32] <pornlover> free porn
[06:32] <albuntu> unop remote administration is disabled and was never enabled
[06:32] <Fryguy--> albuntu: the virtual server then
[06:32] <DankTank3> np jester45...  im sorry
[06:32] <SrgSantos54> hello to all
[06:32] <DankTank3> easiest way to be seen is cuss :P
[06:32] <pornlover> u want porn
[06:32] <DankTank3> i keed, i keed
[06:32] <gdo_> ``Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!`` - I`m getting this problem. Everything was ok, but I instaled some wrong drivers and got this... I reinstalled everything(partitions, ubuntu...) and the problem continues :-(.   WHY in the world would someone want porn in a help channel
[06:33] <Fryguy--> t35t0r: hit tab 2x?
[06:33] <unop> t35t0r, the package name is sun-java-*
[06:33] <Ramzi> pornlover is lost
[06:33] <hyougin> but if the backup doesnt work just like the current one.. why bother comparing?
[06:33] <Fryguy--> SrgSantos54: use sudo to edit it
[06:33] <DankTank3> i saw him in another chan doing the same crap
[06:33] <t35t0r> Fryguy--, doesn't work
[06:34] <DankTank3> thing(
[06:34] <DankTank3> *
[06:34] <Fryguy--> hyougin: because the configs will be similar enough that you cna see what is different and make an inference as to what is causing the problem
[06:34] <SrgSantos54> fryguy but when i and how does it save ?!?
[06:34] <Ramzi> jeje.. almost DankTank
[06:34] <t35t0r> Fryguy--, ctrl+d or tab twice doesn't work ..doing it for "ls" works though ..wtf?!
[06:34] <albuntu> Fryguy-- in virtual server i chose web server that redirects port 80 and 430. i dont think this is a misconfiguration.
[06:34] <Fryguy--> SrgSantos54: it saves like any other file...
[06:34] <SrgSantos54> fryguy once i try to open it it gives me a error
[06:34] <albuntu> unop so what can i do ?
[06:34] <Fryguy--> albuntu: and where does it redirect them to
[06:34] <gdo_> hi, do you have an idea about my problem? it`s so weird...
[06:35] <Fryguy--> SrgSantos54: like i said, you need to use sudo
[06:35] <gdo_> ``Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!`` - I`m getting this problem. Everything was ok, but I instaled some wrong drivers and got this... I reinstalled everything(partitions, ubuntu...) and the problem continues :-(. Can you help me?
[06:35] <unop> albuntu, get someone on the internet to remotely test your connection out -- rather than you testing it out from your LAN -- you're barking up the right tree the wrong way here
[06:35] <SrgSantos54> i do
[06:35] <Fryguy--> SrgSantos54: then you don't have the error (or you are working on a remote nfs shared without root mapping turned on, but i doubt this is the case)
[06:35] <Ramzi> gdo_: have you searched on google?
[06:35] <Jester45> gdo_: dont install those drivers they are makign the kernel panic
[06:36] <SrgSantos54> the thing is am tring to use ettercap
[06:36] <Ramzi> gdo_: take a look at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/explained-kernel-panic-not-syncing-attempted-to-kill-init-353920/
[06:36] <unop> albuntu, and you want to portforward 80 and 443 not 80 and 430  (assuming it is http and https you are port-forwarding)
[06:36] <xsmatt81_> Srgsantos54 use Sudo gedit /usr/file/doc.txt   etc
[06:36] <Fryguy--> albuntu: btw i just went to your IP and got your web server, no problem
[06:36] <Ramzi> or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135920
[06:36] <xsmatt81_> or use root here scripts, makes thing easier
[06:37] <albuntu> unop sorry it was 443. i remembered it bad
[06:37] <DankTank3> i like ubuntuforums
[06:37] <SrgSantos54> xsmatt81 thanks
[06:37] <DankTank3> but i cant post there for some reason
[06:37] <xsmatt81_> you should thank fry guy
[06:37] <DankTank3> i sent a message to some staff
[06:37] <Fryguy--> i've been in here way too long today
[06:37] <albuntu> Fryguy-- what do you get when you go there. i know i am being to anoying but can you tell me what you see ?
[06:37] <Fryguy--> albuntu: apache giving a directory listing of a blank directory
[06:38] <albuntu> Fryguy-- than its working well. thank you
[06:38] <xsmatt81_> say Fryguy nvclock still not working under foot access
[06:38] <gdo_> Jester45: but I deleted the partition and started over with the instalation with a new partition and the problem continues. It`s so strange. What could be happening?
[06:38] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: ok
[06:38] <xsmatt81_> any ideas?
[06:38] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: like i said, i don't know
[06:38] <xsmatt81_> ok i think i will try the console version
[06:39] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: i have no idea, i don't overclock my nvidia card, and i don't run ubuntu, i'm probably not much help to you
[06:39] <xsmatt81_> why are you in a unbuntu channel then?
[06:39] <cyphase> cypherdelic: people always get me confused with cypher :)
[06:40] <Fryguy--> xsmatt81_: just helping people out
[06:40] <Fryguy--> i should ask you guys a question lol,  but i'm sure nobody will know the answer :/
[06:41] <xsmatt81_> I go to #nvclock on irc.freenode.ne
[06:41] <xsmatt81_> laters
[06:41] <Ramzi> ask anyways
[06:41] <Fryguy--> Ramzi: it's not really ubuntu related
[06:41] <Fryguy--> although very little of the questions asked in here are ubuntu related
[06:41] <msshams> i can't connect to our network using wlan. but iwconfig shows our network settings like link quality. can you help me? this is iwconfig output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24399/
[06:41] <Jester45> gdo_: the all mighty linux god is mad (aka Tux)
[06:41] <Ramzi> yeah... I know
[06:41] <Ramzi> allot of general questions
[06:41] <Jester45> msshams: did you set the key right if you need it
[06:42] <Ramzi> so you are allowed to ask jeje
[06:42] <Fryguy--> eh
[06:43] <msshams> Jester45: our network don't use any key or password. my brother laptop works fine with wlan. but my laptop with same preferences doesn't work.
[06:43] <wuxia> how do i rorate my screen using xrandr}
[06:43] <msshams> Jester45: ubuntu detects wlan. and i can see network settings with iwconfig or wicd. but can't connect
[06:44] <Fryguy--> i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting.  I use set mouse=a to get better mouse behavior in terminal, but this also intercepts clipboard events, which is undesirable when I am working remotely.  I have played around with various settings for clipboard (including clipboard= and clipboard=unnmaed) but I am unable to get terminal copy/paste to work like it normally would outside of vim.  Any ideas
[06:45] <msshams> Jester45: can you help me?
[06:45] <Fryguy--> Ramzi: take your best shot lol
[06:45] <Jester45> msshams: no sorry that was just a guess i dont use wireless
[06:46] <Ramzi> fryguy: :#
[06:47] <KORG> Hi all
[06:47] <Ramzi> no idea
[06:47] <Metatron> im trying to get ltsp going, i want to update the client tree offline (on dialup), i have an iso with my packages i want to use, when i chroot to the client build, i can't mount the iso as /proc/partitions don't exist in the temp root, so no sda2 listed, now can i mount the iso's inside the ltsp client when chrooted into it?
[06:48] <Metatron> how can i that is not now can i
[06:48] <nano_> From grub, i have changed my vga= parameter and for some reason my usplash resolution is effected.  Why is this happening, I haven't made any changes to /etc/usplash.conf
[06:48] <rand0m> rmm.. i'm installing ubuntu 8.04 onto my old desktop PC via the alternative text based installer - at maybe 2% or 3% i rcv'd an error msg telling me that something like packages.gz ors omething was corrupted
[06:48] <rand0m> but the install continued... think it'll be ok ?
[06:48] <Fryguy--> nano_: usplash runs in framebuffer before X runs, so any changes to console resolution will affect it
[06:49] <Fryguy--> rand0m: no
[06:49] <KORG> 2 rand0m - check md5 sum
[06:49] <nano_> Fryguy--, but then what is the point of having /etc/usplash.conf file?  what does this having this file accomplish?
[06:49] <Fryguy--> nano_: no idea. I don't use usplash so I don't know what's in that file
[06:49] <Fryguy--> it's probably a configuration used for the image to display/
[06:50] <DankTank3> maybe someone can help me here...  for instance in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist when i do something more than once the next command is put in quotes (i.e. device and the "device)  why is that, and does it need to be there when it is in quotes like that?
[06:50] <rand0m> KORG, im pretty new to ubuntu (and linux).. not sure what you meant by that
[06:50] <DankTank3> ... "device"
[06:50] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: "do something" ? can you be a little more specific?
[06:50] <Fryguy--> rand0m: no it won't be OK. check your disc to make sure it's ok and redownload/reburn if necesary
[06:50] <Shadow_X> is xmms not in the repos for 8.04?
[06:51] <DankTank3> well i blacklist my default driver
[06:51] <nano_> Fryguy--, you don't use usplash....i guess it might teach a person something from looking at those messages fly by during boot
[06:51] <DankTank3> and i have done this several times
[06:51] <DankTank3> and everytime i do it
[06:51] <rand0m> Fryguy--, i take your word for it.. out of ignorant faith though, i'm going to let it finish installing and see if it even comes close to working
[06:51] <DankTank3> after the original time
[06:51] <rand0m> though i don't doubt you
[06:51] <DankTank3> it put the blacklisted device in quotes
[06:51] <DankTank3> does that make sense?
[06:51] <Fryguy--> nano_: none of the *nix machines I run have a monitor plugged into them, nor are they ever rebooted
[06:52] <KORG> 2 rand0m - please read this manual - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[06:52] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: "after the original time" ?  after a reboot? after you edit the file? while you are editing the file?
[06:52] <nano_> Fryguy--, thnx
[06:52] <rand0m> thanks KORG
[06:53] <DankTank3> in terminal i deliver a command such as this: echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:53] <m1r> hello
[06:53] <Gumby> Hey all, I am trying to setup the cube in CompizConfig (or rather the shortcuts used for the cube) and I see the shortcut options and a lot of them say something similar to ctrl+alt+button1, ctrl+alt+button2 etc.  Where exactly are the settings for "button1 and button2"
[06:53] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: yah that's the wrong way to be doing that heh
[06:54] <Fryguy--> Gumby: mouse buttons
[06:54] <DankTank3> and the first time i did it,in that txt file it says: blacklist ath_pci
[06:54] <DankTank3> after a reboot and i do it again, it is in quotations
[06:54] <rand0m> yeah... got another error while trying to configure apt
[06:54] <rand0m> balls., that was my last cdr lol
[06:54] <DankTank3> wrong way?
[06:54] <winmaster_41> i have a quick question
[06:54] <DankTank3> that was step one
[06:55] <rand0m> think it'd work trying to boot it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ?
[06:55] <winmaster_41> i wanna dual-boot vista and ubuntu
[06:55] <Gumby> Fryguy--: you sure?  cause none of those shortcuts seems to work (and mouse buttons generally only have 3 buttons + scroll, not 6 alt+button6)
[06:55] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:55] <DankTank3> that is the command i should use?
[06:55] <Fryguy--> Gumby: 3 buttons + scroll = 5 buttons (scroll up and scroll down are buttons)
[06:55] <winmaster_41> how would i get the vista bootloader back when ubuntu is installed?
[06:55] <winmaster_41> i don't wat
[06:55] <Fryguy--> winmaster_41: boot vista cd and use fixmbr
[06:55] <winmaster_41> oh
[06:55] <Gumby> Fryguy--: ok.  I'll see if I can figure it all out.  thank you
[06:56] <DankTank3> fryguy is teh s**t hehe
[06:56] <winmaster_41> through "dos"?
[06:56] <orly_owl> how can i connect to the net using a huiwei e169g modem on ubuntu netbook remix when running a window manager like icewm?
[06:56] <orly_owl> if im using icewm i wont be able to use the gnome panel applet to tell the modem to connect
[06:56] <DankTank3> busy fella
[06:56] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: keep in mind I don't even USE UBUNTU
[06:56] <Fryguy--> and nobody will answer my question :(
[06:56] <DankTank3> what is your question
[06:56] <DankTank3> and answer mine
[06:56] <nano_> for regular expressions, say i wanted to search for a file that ended in "png" or "jpg"....can i use "*.[jpg,png]"
[06:56] <Fryguy--> i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting.  I use set mouse=a to get better mouse behavior in terminal, but this also intercepts clipboard events, which is undesirable when I am working remotely.  I have played around with various settings for clipboard (including clipboard= and clipboard=unnmaed) but I am unable to get terminal copy/paste to work like it normally would outside of vim.  Any ideas
[06:57] <DankTank3> yea..  thats over me man..  im sorry
[06:57] <DankTank3> ubuntuforums maybe?
[06:57] <rand0m> think it'd work trying to install ubuntu booting it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ?
[06:57] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: it's not really an ubuntu problem
[06:57] <DankTank3> oh my bad
[06:57] <DankTank3> thats right
[06:57] <DankTank3> what do you use?
[06:57] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: but nobody else in here asks ubuntu questions, so I figured I'd take a shot
[06:57] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: depends where I am
[06:58] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: right now i'm on a vista machine terminaled into my freebsd server.  my laptop has XP, work I use a mac and terminal into one of about a dozen different centos 5.1 machines depending on what I'm doing
[06:58] <DankTank3> right on..  hehe
[06:58] <DankTank3> so what is this about fry?
[06:58] <DankTank3> echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:59] <Fryguy--> nano_: that won't work I don't think, since [] defines a character set in regex
[06:59] <DankTank3> and plz go look at this if that command raised your attention
[06:59] <orly_owl> anyone? command to connect to the internet with the e169g?
[06:59] <DankTank3> http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/
[06:59] <DankTank3> that has actually worked for me
[06:59] <DankTank3> but now it wont :(
[06:59] <Fryguy--> I don't know stripped down regex that much (when I do regex it's usually within the scope of a full engine), but you might want something like "*.(jpg|png)"
[06:59] <nano_> Fryguy--, i guess im stuck with using "find ./ -iname "*.png" --or "*.jpg"
[06:59] <nano_> Fryguy--, thnx
[06:59] <panosru> hello, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[07:00] <DankTank3> and fryguy, why not jes not use mouse=a if the clipboard is that big a problem?
[07:00] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: i don't do shit with wireless on *nix systems, so i can't help you
[07:00] <DankTank3> i want you to look at the commands
[07:00] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: because mouse=a adds other mouse behavior that is important to me
[07:00] <DankTank3> das all and its short
[07:00] <SrgSantos54> is there a way i can block a page ?!?
[07:01] <DankTank3> post your question again
[07:01] <DankTank3> i wanna look at sumthin
[07:01] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: are you running 64-bit?
[07:01] <DankTank3> yes
[07:01] <DankTank3> laptop, turion
[07:01] <jack-desktop> how can i restart compiz, just do compiz --replace again?
[07:02] <DankTank3> jack
[07:02] <orly_owl> yep
[07:02] <ariqs> I never understood why regex is so popular. It's too cryptic. A more natural version would be nice
[07:02] <unop> Fryguy--, re:vim/term -  :help paste and :help xterm-copy-paste and :help xterm-clipboard  might help  - you might also like this vim search engine i've compiled - http://tinyurl.com/58yc35
[07:02] <DankTank3> restart from where?
[07:02] <nano_> DankTank3, i have hp dv2000 laptop, X2 turions dual core working at 1.8Ghz each
[07:02] <jack-desktop> DankTank3: my ccsm isn't updating compiz so i'm going to see if restarting is going to help
[07:02] <nano_> DankTank3, + 2 gigs ram
[07:02] <DankTank3> that command should work
[07:03] <DankTank3> sudo
[07:03] <DankTank3> i love compiz, but i dont run it much
[07:03] <DankTank3> jes to show off to windows users
[07:03] <Fryguy--> unop: i know i'm stretching here, but do you know of any way to do it without having to hold down shift?
[07:03] <wiramaswara> hello alll
[07:03] <Metatron> how can i mount a ntfs disk while after i have chrooted to a directory? ive tried mount -o /proc  /chroot/proc  still cant see the drives
[07:04] <Fryguy--> Metatron: you need to mount devfs before chrooting
[07:04] <DankTank3> fry, didja look for my poor soul?
[07:04] <DankTank3> at that site?
[07:04] <DankTank3> it did work b4
[07:04] <Metatron> ok Fryguy--ill try that
[07:04] <DankTank3> but not now :|
[07:04] <jack-desktop> that worked, why would ccsm stop working after awhile?
[07:05] <Fryguy--> ariqs: a regex is an example of a context free grammar.  More natural versions would have to be run as DFAs and will run slower, which becomes important in a lot of the circumstances that regexes are used in
[07:05] <DankTank3> i am thinking it is *.conf's being done over and over too much
[07:05] <DankTank3> no idea jack
[07:05] <DankTank3> depends on about 10 billion things
[07:05] <DankTank3> try to hold you mouth right next time ;)
[07:05] <ariqs> fryguy: what does DFA stand for?
[07:05] <bazhang> jack-desktop, where are you launching it from
[07:06] <Fryguy--> ariqs: "discrete finite automata"
[07:06] <jack-desktop> the menu =/
[07:06] <unop> Fryguy--, i'm not sure, there was something in the help files about a mapping of g with mouse clicks -- one reason why i don't use xterm is because it doesn't play well with vim
[07:06] <DankTank3> gnome?  kde?
[07:06] <DankTank3> etc?
[07:06] <bazhang> jack-desktop, the menu? ie simple-ccsm or other
[07:06] <jack-desktop> System->Preferences->Compiz setting manager
[07:06] <Fryguy--> unop: well i'm using urxvt, it supports xterm-style mouse reporting though, so I can use mouse=a.  Which allows me to do things like select multiple lines of text and not wrap and catch line numbers and such
[07:07] <SrgSantos54> can someone help me
[07:07] <DankTank3> what distro are you runnin jack?
[07:07] <jack-desktop> ubuntu hardy
[07:07] <bazhang> SrgSantos54, need a question :)
[07:07] <jack-desktop> my uptime is 4 days -- it usually stops working after awhile, it did it on gutsy too
[07:07] <SrgSantos54> i have a annoying page pop up that says that my systyem is infected and can't close it
[07:07] <bazhang> jack-desktop, what about in appearances
[07:07] <unop> Fryguy--, yep, same reason why my SHELL=urxvt
[07:07] <eugene__> Does anyone know what ip address that starts with <IP_ADDRESS> means?
[07:07] <bazhang> SrgSantos54, how about a screenshot
[07:07] <unop> eugene__, it's a private ip address
[07:08] <tarelerulz> You can play movies inside rar files via Dziobas rar player.   It can't go to full screen and can't do all movies ,but it does work.  VLC can do it ,but not most of the time.
[07:08] <jack-desktop> bazhang: what about appearances
[07:08] <SrgSantos54> it gives me the option to download something
[07:08] <DankTank3> fryguy...  did you look at the page for me?
[07:08] <bazhang> jack-desktop, set to custom (this is gutsy or hardy)
[07:08] <Fryguy--> DankTank3: looks pretty straightforward
[07:08] <jack-desktop> bazhang: it works.... it just stops working after my computer has been online for awhile
[07:09] <DankTank3> yep..  ok man thanks
[07:09] <bazhang> jack-desktop, what about alt f2 compiz --replace
[07:09] <jack-desktop> bazhang: yeah, that fixed it, i was wondering why it did this though
[07:09] <bazhang> jack-desktop, were you doing compiz --replace in the terminal?
[07:10] <jack-desktop> bazhang: yes, but ... that's not the problem lol
[07:10] <unop> tarelerulz, i find the whole thing of putting movies into rar files a bit unnecessary -- most video containers support and use pretty good compression anyway, so using rar on top of them only shaves off a few meg which isn't worth the hassle really
[07:10] <Fryguy--> blah i'm going to bed
[07:10] <SrgSantos54> file:///home/adolfo/Screenshot-1.png
[07:10] <Gumby> Fryguy--: ok, I understand the button1, button2 stuff now.  How about "super"
[07:10] <nickrud> goodnight Fryguy--
[07:10] <Fryguy--> Gumby: it's the windows key
[07:10] <Gumby> d'oh. thx anyhow Fryguy--
[07:10] <Gumby> ahh
[07:10] <Gumby> thanks
[07:10] <bazhang> jack-desktop, then that is the source of your problems; do it in run command window not terminal
[07:10] <DankTank3> super is the windows button
[07:10] <Gumby> gnight
[07:10] <Gumby> :)
[07:11] <jack-desktop> when i start my system after a reboot, ccsm works fine
[07:11] <jack-desktop> then after about a day or so - it stops updating
[07:11] <jack-desktop> "compiz --replace" fixes it... i guess.
[07:11] <DankTank3> could be a heat issue or a memory leak
[07:11] <bazhang> SrgSantos54, you need to upload that screenshot somewhere
[07:11] <Metatron> Fryguy--:  unknown filesystem type 'devfs'  but i got it with must mounted dev/ thnx, it was my fault i didnt realise exiting the root cleared the mounts
[07:11] <jack-desktop> it's not a real problem, i was just wondering why it did it
[07:11] <bazhang> jack-desktop, as I said above
[07:11] <DankTank3> google is your friend jack :P
[07:12] <SrgSantos54> bazhang how to i input a screenshot ?!?
[07:12] <bazhang> we are smarter than google
[07:12] <DankTank3> yea RI
[07:12] <DankTank3> GHT
[07:12] <DankTank3> then fix my problem
[07:12] <bazhang> DankTank3, we are here to answer questions; not to re-direct people to google
[07:12] <SrgSantos54> youwant me to give you the page
[07:12] <nickrud> bazhang, hoist on his own petard ;)
[07:13] <DankTank3> :(
[07:13] <DankTank3> i have been reprimanded
[07:13] <bazhang> DankTank3, just waiting for the #vim channel to relocate :)
[07:13] <DankTank3> lol
[07:13] <bazhang> DankTank3, sorry missed your issue-->could you restate?
[07:13] <tarelerulz> unop, I think the same thing . I don't know why the site I get stuff from does that. few meg will not break the bank on file that is like 4.5 gigs . It just make one more step to do .  Plus there don't seem to be anyting on play movies inside rar.  VLC do it ,but not well at all. No thing on mplayer either. About the only play I ever saw do that good was xbox media center .  It was one of the best media player I have seen period .
[07:14] <lordrommel> hello

[07:15] <dimona> how do I fix scanner permissions
[07:15] <unop> tarelerulz, some people just like cargo-culting -- they hear something's good and they have to have/do it too
[07:16] <dimona> "sudo sane-find-scanner" finds my scanner
[07:16] <dimona> but running as normal user doesn't
[07:16] <dimona> how do I fix it?

Now, i want to set up an irc server, we are going to use ubuntu server. We already know how to do that, but how can we make it so that ppl in the network can type /server lan.flat.org and it will connect to the ubuntu server?
[07:16] <DankTank3> there are tons of posts about the atheros chipset
[07:16] <DankTank3> but i cant get mine to do the deal
[07:16] <bazhang> DankTank3, the eeepc has the same chipset for their wireless; let me try and find a link
[07:17] <SrgSantos54> bazhang here is another one :)

[07:17] <Kartagis> how do I find out what binary my network printer is using? I installed some .deb a month ago, but since then the printer is complaining about paper size

[07:19] <rand0m> can i make a memory stick bootable with ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386 ?
[07:19] <bazhang> rand0m, via a psp? that is doubtful
[07:19] <Gumby> a/v software is useful if you have windows partitions, usb sticks, or external drives that are formatted fat or ntfs (so you can  scan them outside of windows)
[07:19] <SrgSantos54> bazhang the same thing appears agine and agine
[07:20] <bazhang> SrgSantos54, then get adblock plus, noscript for firefox (addons) also enable no popups in firefox prefs

Now, i want to set up an irc server, we are going to use ubuntu server.

[07:29] <endafy> this is kind of an odd request but how can I hide the fact I run Linux and what browser I am using to the entire web?
[07:29] <Metatron> open the file /etc/hosts add an entry like <IP_ADDRESS> lan.flat.org      or some variant on that, u will know it works when you can ping lan.flat.org, the hosts file will have to be changed on all the mahcines

[07:33] <Shadow420> evilbug Ubuntu MID?
[07:33] <igor_> i have a premium acct
[07:34] <evilbug> Shadow420- you know, the mobile version...
[07:34] <Metatron> HomesickA: i just tried it here with <IP_ADDRESS> lan.flat.org and it pings fine
[07:34] <evilbug> Shadow420- i know it's still being developed, but i was curious whether there would be a channel for it now.
[07:34] <Shadow420> evilbug never heard of it let me look around
[07:34] <HomesickA> sweet
[07:34] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12346&iTestingId=26126 igor_
[07:34] <evilbug> Shadow420- it's on the main page on the ubuntu site
[07:35] <HomesickA> but is there a way to not change it on all the pcs?
[07:35] <wuxia> ls
[07:35] <igor_> bazhang, will wine fully support it
[07:35] <HomesickA> ie, the pcs know that the ubuntu server is lan.flat.org
[07:35] <bazhang> igor_, did you even check the link?
[07:35] <igor_> oh, nvm sorry i tried wine before and different dl manager it failed, i'll try this, thanks alot
[07:36] <Metatron> just use notepad to open the file and i dont know another way to do it, unless all the machines are using the same dns server and you alter it there, or someway to append to dns, there probably is a way, but its not hard to change the host file
[07:36] <HomesickA> yep, seems so :) thanks again
[07:37] <viquangyen> he
[07:37] <HomesickA> maybe i can make the ubuntu server a dns server?
[07:37] <Shadow420> evilbug #ubuntu-mobile
[07:37] <sisi_> hi, does anyone know what happened to pidgin??
[07:37] <Metatron> dns usualy comes from your isp, there might be away to alter dns. adding your values, but im not sure how, you could make a windows .bat file they could just double click on to change the host file
[07:37] <evilbug> Shadow420- thanks!
[07:38] <Shadow420> evilbug no problem
[07:38] <bazhang> sisi_, please clarify
[07:38] <viquangyen> g
[07:38] <HomesickA> shweet like a lemon :D
[07:38] <bazhang> viquangyen, chinese?
[07:38] <sisi_> It says "too old client version"
[07:38] <magnetron> sisi_, ICQ updated their protocol
[07:38] <bazhang> sisi_, what version of ubuntu
[07:39] <sisi_> well, I guessed so and now we...?
[07:39] <sisi_> 8.04
[07:39] <bazhang> sisi_, we need an actual question
[07:40] <sisi_> well I really need my ICQ:(
[07:40] <sisi_> what can i do?
[07:40] <bazhang> !info pidgin
[07:40] <nano_> how can i make /etc/usplash.conf file take effect....
[07:40] <bazhang> !usplash
[07:41] <magnetron> bazhang, the version of pidgin in the repos is no longer compatible with the current ICQ protocol. or so it seems, from what i've seen this morning
[07:41] <bazhang> magnetron, thanks, had no idea (never used it before)
[07:41] <HomesickA> hey Metatron check this http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/11/07/how-to-setup-a-dns-server-in-ubuntu/
[07:41] <bazhang> !info qq
[07:41] <magnetron> bazhang, this is new for the day
[07:42] <bazhang> !find qq
[07:42] <magnetron> bazhang, what about qq? pidgin supports the qq protocol
[07:42] <kholerabbi> how do I use gfxboot?
[07:42] <bazhang> magnetron, eva may be more uptodate
[07:43] <tparcina> to instal zaptel drivers (for Asterisk) on Ubuntu 8.04, is "sudo apt-get install zaptel" enough?
[07:43] <bazhang> tparcina, apt-cache search zaptel
[07:44] <magnetron> bazhang, i don't use the qq protocol
[07:44] <Jessehk> Hi all. How can I set it so that sudo does _not_ remember by password for any amount of time? I want to have to enter it every time.
[07:44] <daYZman-w> hi
[07:44] <afallenhope> anyone know of a codec that I can install to play rm files? I have Totem and VLC installed.. neither of them do it
[07:45] <bazhang> sisi_, you can try eva, or compile the newer version, or look for a deb of more recent pidgin on getdeb.net
[07:45] <magnetron> sisi_, there's a long list of ICQ clients in the repos. go to "applications" > "add / remove" and then search for icq
[07:45] <bazhang> afallenhope, not all rm will play, ubuntu-restricted-extras and win32codecs will play most; you can also install realplayer gold
[07:46] <daYZman-w> i'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver (downloaded from nvidia), but it's asking me to shut down my xserver before running the script. i tried doing it in recovery mode, but then it says it should be run in level 3 (telinit 3). if i do telinit 3, the xserver starts up. so how should the script be run?
[07:46] <tarelerulz> I have this happen to me a lot the sound seems to go out and I end up loging out of .  How would I restart my sound sever with out doing that ?
[07:46] <magnetron> sisi_, "ickle" is one of these clients
[07:47] <bazhang> daYZman-w, why that method? hardware drivers or envyng-gtk would be the preferred method
[07:47] <sisi_> 10x, everyone
[07:47] <sisi_> :)
[07:47] <afallenhope> bazhang, I have the restricetd ones.I know don't where to get the win32codecs
[07:47] <bazhang> np
[07:48] <bazhang> www.medibuntu.org afallenhope
[07:48] <sisi_> I will try one of these
[07:48] <daYZman-w> bazhang, you mean via synaptic?
[07:48] <bazhang> daYZman-w, envyng-gtk is in synaptic yes
[07:50] <magnetron> sisi_, you there?
[07:50] <Metatron> is there some utility to prepare a ltsp client to boot, i want to set it to boot from partition, (floppy is dead), adding an entry to grub
[07:50] <PBC> k
[07:50] <PBC> nope
[07:52] <DankTank3> baz....
[07:52] <DankTank3> itza no go
[07:52] <afallenhope> bazhang, I have it installed... the medibuntu packages.. I try to type sudo apt-get instal win32codecs and I don't get squat
[07:52] <DankTank3> i have an idea tho
[07:53] <bazhang> afallenhope, you dont need the repos for that package
[07:53] <DankTank3> can you tell me how to completely redo my network setup in ubuntu 8.04?
[07:53] <ASau> Hi!
[07:53] <DankTank3> or guide me to a site that will work?
[07:53] <ASau> Just a question.
[07:54] <DankTank3> i wanna reset EVERYthing to do with the internet
[07:54] <afallenhope> bazhang, I installed the restricted extras... it's installed .exe files...
[07:55] <DankTank3> baz?
[07:55] <sisi_> magnetron: yes
[07:55] <bazhang> DankTank3, a couple of questions: is this 32 or 64 bit; did you disable hal, and what errors did you get compiling that package
[07:55] <ASau> Why your oh-so-nice ubuntu launches all kinds of useless
[07:55] <ASau> services like CUPS, while there's no printer around, provides
[07:55] <ASau> all sort of graphics, but DOESN'T SUGGEST SYNCING CLOCKS VIA NTP?!
[07:55] <DankTank3> 64bit
[07:55] <daYZman-w> it seems the version on envy is quite old: 169.12 can i update it?
[07:55] <DankTank3> no errors
[07:55] <ASau> Is it so difficult???
[07:55] <DankTank3> do you know how to completely restore network settings to default?
[07:56] <bazhang> ASau, this is not the gripes channel, file a wishlist bug or put on brainstorm
[07:56] <ASau> Why the hell it asks me for my local time zone then?
[07:56] <ASau> I don't care about it.
[07:56] <DankTank3> ASau..  language!
[07:56] <ASau> This is just another point, where ubunto sucks.
[07:56] <bazhang> ASau, then no need to be here.
[07:56] <nano_> if i connect a usb drive with my ubuntu, how can i tell which /dev/sdXX is associated with it?
[07:56] <afallenhope> bazhang, where do I get the win32codecs/

[07:57] <bazhang> afallenhope, from medibuntu; follow the instructions on how to cut and paste the command
[07:57] <fo2sh> Hi everyone
[07:58] <corollax> afallenhope: check out this site for codec installation http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/easy-media-codec-installation-for-hardy.html
[07:58] <magnetron> sisi_, did you find any icq clients to try?
[07:58] <ariqs> the whole time zone thing is aggravating. I can't even pic my area on the map cause it's not a dot ;p
[07:58] <corollax> Ariqs: I must admit, it is a bit bothersome for me as well. The nearest locale in the same time zone is quite a distance away.
[07:59] <magnetron> !pm | sisi_
[07:59] <afallenhope> corollax, Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:59] <jeeves__> can someone help me figure out how to properly make rules for udev?  I'm trying to get the GPS that came with streets and trips to auto mount and to have GPSD auto detect/configure it
[07:59] <sisi_> magnetron: pm?
[07:59] <yesudeep> !bluetooth
[07:59] <magnetron> sisi_, did you try the ickle client? says it uses a more modern version  of the ICQ protocol
[08:00] <corollax> afallenhope: Have you enabled the medibuntu repository?
[08:00] <afallenhope> corollax, yeah
[08:00] <raj> in my C program i have used pow () but its giving error like...  undefined reference to `pow' any solution? plz
[08:00] <sisi_> ok, i will
[08:00] <kaliMastah> ubuntu is buggy
[08:00] <kaliMastah> grrr
[08:00] <corollax> afallenhope: Interesting. Would you mind putting in a quick cat command of your sources.list file?
[08:00] <kontagious> i had ubuntu installed then i used the ubuntu live cd to resize the partitian with gparted and when i shrunk it it worked fine.. then i deleted the ntfs (windows) partitian and grew the ubuntu partitian now it gives me an "error starting operating system"
[08:01] <afallenhope> corollax, sure
[08:01] <corollax> cat /etc/apt/sources.list should be the appropriate command, but...
[08:01] <fo2sh> i've just installed ubuntu studio on my dell vostro 1000 but i need to  configure my ATI xpress 1150 and the wireless?  any help ?
[08:01] <bazhang> I'd guess that afallenhope has not updated sources.list
[08:01] <corollax> afallenhope: I'd like you to do a grep on that. lemme pull it up so I can look for an appropriate string
[08:01] <raj> in my C program i have used pow () but its giving error like...  undefined reference to `pow' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[08:01] <afallenhope> corollax, bazhang, lol I know how to add the repositories and how to update the lists.
[08:01] <sisi_> magnetron:
[08:01] <sisi_> ickle:
[08:01] <sisi_>  Depends: libicq2000c2  but it is not installable
[08:02] <corollax> afallenhope: Ack! Sorry about that. >,<
[08:02] <bazhang> afallenhope, then pastebin sources.list for us to see
[08:02] <magnetron> sisi_, oops
[08:02] <magnetron> sisi_, try konversation then
[08:02] <afallenhope> http://pastebin.com/d14e32d27
[08:03] <sisi_> magnetron:  i hadn't seen such a message yet:)
[08:03] <magnetron> sisi_, me neither.
[08:03] <bazhang> hmm this is 64bit
[08:03] <corollax> afallenhope, bazhang: I can't see anything wrong from an immediate look...but the error does sound familiar.
[08:03] <magnetron> sisi_, try the package named "konversation".
[08:04] <kontagious> i had ubuntu installed then i used the ubuntu live cd to resize the partitian with gparted and when i shrunk it it worked fine.. then i deleted the ntfs (windows) partitian and grew the ubuntu partitian now it gives me an "error starting operating system".. i then use gparted to check the ext3 partitian and it tells me it resized it and fixed a few things but ubuntu still wont boot
[08:04] <bazhang> kontagious, grub error?
[08:04] <kontagious> i think so
[08:04] <sisi_> magnetron:  i am using that now
[08:04] <kontagious> i cant really troubleshoot it cause i have no error
[08:04] <afallenhope> corollax, bazhang http://pastebin.com/d65f36c0c that's the error
[08:04] <magnetron> sisi_, does it work with the icq protocol?
[08:05] <bazhang> kontagious, the exact error is that above?
[08:05] <kontagious> is there a way i can use this live cd to repair the files
[08:05] <kontagious> uh
[08:05] <kontagious> unable to start operating system
[08:05] <kontagious> thats not exact but its close
[08:05] <sisi_> magnetron:  i don't know wait a second until i find out
[08:05] <kontagious> no other text
[08:05] <yesudeep> I can't seem to be able to copy files to my Sony Ericsson cell phone using Bluetooth with Hardy.  What could be the problem?
[08:05] <corollax> afallenhope, bazhang: Do you think a --fix-missing would help? just a shot in the dark...
[08:06] <magnetron> yesudeep, you may need the gnome-bluetooth package
[08:06] <bazhang> afallenhope, this is 64bit system right?
[08:06] <nano_> how can i tell which UNMOUNTED usb drive is associated with which /dev/device?
[08:06] <yesudeep> magnetron: Alright.  I'll try that.
[08:06] <afallenhope> bazhang, yes
[08:07] <bazhang> win64codecs?
[08:07] <magnetron> yesudeep, there's another package you might need too.. something named vfs obex something. let me get the name
[08:07] <afallenhope> corollax, not sure what the fix missing
[08:07] <kontagious> i can still mount the partitian from the live cd and see the files
[08:07] <afallenhope> bazhang, wwas right it's w64codecs
[08:07] <greenfishx3> I tried to move a big folder.. 99% worked but one folder is remaining "directory is not empty" I just checked it did move the folder, but its still remaining.. whats up with the error?
[08:07] <corollax> bazhang: nice call!
[08:08] <zcat[1]> in another 8 years it will be w128codecs
[08:08] <afallenhope> however still won't play .rm files
[08:08] <afallenhope> not in TOTEM or VLC player
[08:08] <bazhang> corollax, :)
[08:08] <kontagious> bazhang: should i try reinstalling grub?
[08:08] <afallenhope> correction.. it plays it but no video
[08:08] <magnetron> yesudeep, the package's name is gnome-vfs-obexftp . don't forget to pair with the phone first
[08:08] <afallenhope> anyways I'll tackle this another night thanks for the help
[08:09] <afallenhope> ciao
[08:09] <bazhang> afallenhope, some will not play at all. you can try to get realplayer gold (not sure if they have 64bit version though)
[08:09] <kaliMastah> darn pidgin often crashed...is there anyway i can fixed this?
[08:09] <yesudeep> magnetron: I was able to pair with the phone, and copy files off of it, but not send files to it.
[08:09] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes: "Evolution is a groupware suite." How to synchronize the Evolution address book among 2 Ubuntu Hardy computers  in a LAN?
[08:09] <corollax> kaliMastah: I'd noticed a recurring problem with pidgin crashing as well.
[08:09] <bazhang> kaliMastah, file a bug
[08:10] <Kartagis> i have a setup script which gives segmentation fault when i run. what can i do about that?
[08:10] <corollax> kaliMastah: I don't know if it's related, but I stopped having the problem when I disabled pulseaudio
[08:10] <yesudeep> magnetron: I get "Operation not supported by backend"
[08:10] <corollax> kaliMastah: If you're willing to give up the functionality, using pure ALSA might help.
[08:10] <bazhang> kontagious, if there is a grub error, is that it? thought it was no operating system found or similar error
[08:10] <lwizardl> how do i stop cds from auto opening
[08:10] <daYZman-w> can envy be used to *update* drivers?
[08:11] <kholerabbi> hey does anyone have experience with gfxboot?
[08:11] <bobby> helo help: my pidgin dosnt allow me to online with icq cause my pidgin 2.4.1 is too old, but how to update?
[08:11] <yesudeep> Uhh crap.  It has not yet been implemented.
[08:11] <cadoo> does anybody know how to convert from avi to ogg
[08:11] <bazhang> daYZman-w, envyng-gtk yes
[08:11] <kholerabbi> graphical grub?
[08:11] <magnetron> yesudeep, setting your computer to "trusted" in your phone may help
[08:11] <kontagious> bazhang: im not farmiliar with grub.. i slept through that day in class :S
[08:11] <Eka> hai
[08:12] <cadoo> avi video to ogg sound
[08:12] <daYZman-w> bazhang, ah ok. i'll install it.
[08:12] <bazhang> kontagious, my point is, is that if it does not state grub error 15, 17, or the like, then your issue is likely elsewhere-->having the exact error would be helpful in this case
[08:12] <magnetron> cadoo, yes. you could use the ffmpeg2theora commandline tool. the package is named "ffmpeg2theora"
[08:12] <kontagious> ok bazhang i will be back with the exact error
[08:12] <yesudeep> magnetron: Nope.  Doesn't work.
[08:12] <gradin> anybody else having issues with broadcom and slow network connections?
[08:12] <corollax> lwizardl: could you describe your problem in more detail?
[08:12] <daYZman-w> bazhang, i'm trying to install it now, but it gives me an error saying "depends: python-central (>= 0.5.62) but 0.5.15ubuntu is to be instlled.
[08:12] <Kartagis> bobby: sudo apt-get install pidgin will upgrade it
[08:12] <corollax> lwizardl: Do you want to stop the CD's from mounting, or...?
[08:13] <lwizardl> cornell, CD's DVD's etc
[08:13] <gradin> for some reason my network connection is very slow at times, though if i run stuff from a different computer the network behaves fine
[08:13] <sisi_> kaliMastah: i am trying to do the same
[08:13] <bazhang> envyng-gtk? or trying to run it daYZman-w
[08:13] <bobby> Kartagis, it tells me that my version of pidgin is uptodate
[08:13] <magnetron> yesudeep, maybe your ericsson doesn't support OBEX push?
[08:13] <bobby> Kartagis, im using hardy as well
[08:14] <sisi_> kaliMastah:  personal message?
[08:14] <bobby> and have only hardy repos
[08:14] <corollax> lwizardl: I think that MIGHT be a nautilus setting. Are you using ubuntu, kubuntu or "other"? :-)
[08:14] <yesudeep> magnetron: You mean the ability to store files on the phone?
[08:14] <daYZman-w> bazhang, i haven't got it installed, so i'm installing envyng from synaptic.
[08:14] <gradin> syslog is popping up saying -laptop kernel: [10956.469338] wlan0: CTS protection enabled and disable repeatedly
[08:14] <lwizardl> ubuntu 8.04
[08:14] <yesudeep> magnetron: I've done that using Windows in the past.
[08:14] <greenfishx3> I tried to move a big folder.. 99% worked but one folder is remaining "directory is not empty" I just checked it did move the folder, but its still remaining.. whats up with the error?
[08:15] <magnetron> yesudeep, no, not the ability to store files
[08:15] <corollax> lwizardl: Open up a file browser window.
[08:15] <corollax> lwizardl: On the menubar, go to "edit-> preferences, and click the "Media" tab on the wizard that pops up.
[08:15] <yesudeep> The ability to receive files then?
[08:15] <corollax> lwizardl: The bottom option contains a "browse media when inserted" checkmark. Unclick that.
[08:16] <corollax> lwizardl: That should solve your problem, I think.
[08:16] <Kartagis> bobby: no idea then
[08:16] <bazhang> http://www.joeterranova.net/2008/07/01/icq-woes-for-pidgin/ sisi_  bobby and other pidginites
[08:17] <corollax> lwizardl: Did you follow all that?
[08:17] <bobby> big thx bazhang, but OMG icq ...
[08:17] <magnetron> sisi_, apparently they are working on getting pidgin fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591
[08:17] <sisi_> bazhang: I just found the patch,
[08:17] <sisi_> :)
[08:17] <sisi_> ok, ok
[08:17] <CyRuS> I have 512MB RAM, should I get Ubuntu-Desktop or Kubuntu?
[08:18] <sisi_> just need to learn how to recompile now...
[08:18] <yesudeep> magnetron: It supports "object push"
[08:18] <bobby> that explains why i cant reach www.pidgin.im, they seem to get overloaded :D
[08:18] <bazhang> heh
[08:18] <greenfishx3> CyRuS:  whats your gpu?
[08:18] <_Andrew> CyRuS: You might wanna look at Xubuntu
[08:18] <magnetron> bobby, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591
[08:18] <corollax> CyRuS: If you're really looking for optimization, FluxBuntu might also be an option.
[08:18] <yesudeep> magnetron: "object push, file transfer, audio remote controller, and audio remote control target"
[08:18] <magnetron> yesudeep, i see.
[08:18] <CyRuS> greenfishx: whats that
[08:19] <greenfishx3> _Andrew: are you telling me 512mb RAM isnt enough to run ubuntu/k?
[08:19] <bazhang> video card CyRuS
[08:19] <greenfishx3> CyRuS: your graphics card
[08:19] <CyRuS> 64MB
[08:19] <gradin> anybody seen cts protection enabled and disabled showing up in log file?
[08:19] <kontagious> ok my bios loads and grub starts to load and i get a "Error loading operating system"
[08:19] <bazhang> greenfishx3, sure it is
[08:19] <kontagious> no other text on the screen
[08:19] <lwizardl> cornell, thanks
[08:19] <_Andrew> greenfishx3: No, infact I wasn't telling you anything
[08:19] <greenfishx3> bazhang: oh I know it is
[08:19] <kontagious> well grub doesnt start to load i just get that error right away
[08:19] <CyRuS> greenfishx: 64MB
[08:19] <vdsy> a quick question...how do i automatically update grub AFTER i install another distro in a HD..i know it's update-grub, but the command is a little iffy...
[08:19] <Metatron> greenfishx3: i run 512 just find, the question is your gpu (graphics processing unit) my experience with xubuntu is that it isnt that much lighter than ubuntu
[08:19] <bobby> thx magnetron , bazhang's link already explained the situation
[08:19] <Metatron> just fine that is
[08:20] <greenfishx3> CyRuS: okay thats pretty low
[08:20] <AndrewBC> greenfishx3, it sure is, I'm running off 438MB
[08:20] <bazhang> kontagious, that is worrying
[08:20] <erry> Hello
[08:20] <CyRuS> greenfishx3: so I should try Kubuntu and just go with Ubuntu ?
[08:20] <erry> I need help
[08:20] <erry> I cannot play midis in my ubuntu
[08:20] <greenfishx3> AndrewBC and its running fine?
[08:20] <erry> Can u help me
[08:20] <bazhang> erry, we need a question
[08:20] <CyRuS> greenfishx3: I meant shouldN'T
[08:21] <erry> I said the question
[08:21] <greenfishx3> CyRuS: kubuntu is just ubuntu with another GUI (KDE)
[08:21] <AndrewBC> greenfishx3, yep, it runs great
[08:21] <erry> I cannot play midis
[08:21] <erry> how do i play them
[08:21] <kontagious> bazhang: uh oh
[08:21] <erry> They just won't play
[08:21] <bazhang> !midi | erry
[08:21] <greenfishx3> AndrewBC nice :)
[08:21] <bazhang> erry there is your answer
[08:21] <corollax> Hee! Way to go, ubuttu!
[08:21] <erry> ok thnx
[08:21] <yesudeep> magnetron: What can I do?  Can aI send files using the terminal?
[08:21] <erry> no need to go all mad at me :(
[08:21] <CyRuS> greenfishx3: so, which should I go for?
[08:21] <erry> Say hi to mystery for me if u see him ;)
[08:21] <erry> Anw
[08:21] <corollax> CyRuS: Personally, I'm a fan of GNOME (generic Ubuntu)
[08:21] <AndrewBC> I've got xchat, transmission, opera, a couple terminals, pidgin, gedit, and system monitor going
[08:21] <Metatron> greenfishx3: ive tried ubuntu with no gnome, just fluxbox, jwm or icewm, and a lite fm like rox, it runs great, problem is you don't have normal access to tools and settings making it difficult to maintain
[08:22] <magnetron> sisi_, use these packages: http://joeterranova.net/code/pidgin-2.4.1-icqfix.tar.gz
[08:22] <greenfishx3> CyRuS: ubuntu or kubuntu = basically teh same thing, just diff GUI, CyRuS if you want a similar "windows" look go with KDE (i use it) or if you want a diff look get GNOME, they are both excellent
[08:22] <bazhang> kontagious, you have backups?
[08:22] <corollax> CyRuS: But that's because I use an ubuntu derivative that's based primarily around gnome (Mint)
[08:22] <Metatron> i tried it that way on a pii with 192 ram and it was responsive
[08:22] <kontagious> bazhang: no but i can mount the partitian from thsi live cd
[08:22] <magnetron> yesudeep, you should keep investigating your problem
[08:22] <corollax> CyRuS: Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to try out a new desktop environment.
[08:22] <CyRuS> Fine, I think Ubuntu(GNOME) is the one for me. Thanks for helping me out, guys
[08:22] <kontagious> and read the files
[08:22] <bazhang> kontagious, best to do some backups (just in case we cant fix it)
[08:22] <corollax> CyRuS: If you want to try out KDE after installing Ubuntu...
[08:22] <CyRuS> corollax: yup?
[08:22] <AndrewBC> still only using 311/428MB ram
[08:22] <yesudeep> magnetron: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747800 says feature not implemented
[08:23] <greenfishx3> Metatron ah excellent, just proves its useful even on old hardware
[08:23] <kontagious> bazhang: ok.. so what do you think we should try first
[08:23] <corollax> CyRuS: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" will give you another login session, as if you had installed kubuntu.
[08:23] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes: "Evolution is a groupware suite." How to synchronize the Evolution address book among 2 Ubuntu Hardy computers in a LAN?
[08:23] <kontagious> bazhang: i really think its a simple boot error
[08:23] <bazhang> kontagious, you mounted the system and chroot'ed in?
[08:23] <CyRuS> corollax: how will I switch back, then?
[08:23] <corollax> CyRuS: Likewise, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will give you an XFCE session as if you'd installed xubuntu.
[08:23] <micegio> someone can help me with the installation of my epson printer?
[08:23] <kontagious> bazhang: im not familiar with chroot
[08:23] <corollax> CyRuS: At the login screen, it asks you which "session" you want to choose from.
[08:23] <bazhang> kontagious, ah then you got it handled, nice.
[08:23] <greenfishx3> Metatron how long have you been using linux or nix in general?
[08:23] <corollax> CyRuS: The default is "last session used"
[08:23] <CyRuS> corollax: thanks
[08:24] <corollax> CyRuS: When you install a new one, it simply adds to the box.
[08:24] <corollax> CyRuS: Fair warning, the desktop environments are rather large (Roughly 2-3 GB, depending on which one you're talking about)
[08:24] <magnetron> yesudeep, don't take ubuntuforums posts too seriously
[08:24] <daYZman-w> bazhang, oh it seems envyng only supports hardy.
[08:24] <corollax> CyRuS: So if you're finding you're not using one, you may want to remove it.
[08:24] <daYZman-w> does anyone know how to upgrade video drivers on gutsy?
[08:25] <Metatron> greenfishx3: not real long off an on for about 5 years
[08:25] <corollax> CyRuS: which would be "sudo apt-get purge (k/x)ubuntu-desktop" ^,^
[08:25] <CyRuS> corollax: I have got 500GB of space, isn't that enough :)
[08:25] <corollax> CyRuS: HOLY...err...right. No bad language. ^,^
[08:25] <Metatron> intensively lately, testing new stuff, trying to get ltsp going to test with
[08:25] <CyRuS> corollax: hehe
[08:25] <corollax> CyRuS: Do you mind hosting some files for me? ^,~
[08:25] <CyRuS> corollax: depends. what kinda files?
[08:25] <aslan> hey all... I'm trying to build the latest version of mplayerplug-in from source... hoping it supports quicktime 7.5.  I am getting the following error
[08:26] <Metatron> for old hardware puppylinux has been the fastest ive found, but it is meant as a client environment, though it can do server stuff, it is not multi user, everything runs as root
[08:26] <kontagious> bazhang: do you think this would work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[08:26] <AndrewBC> !
[08:26] <corollax> CyRuS: I was actually joking. Still, nice meeting you!
[08:26] <aslan> ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gecko-sdk=/usr/lib/xulrunner/sdk
[08:26] <kontagious> if i just reinstall it
[08:26] <AndrewBC> Metatron, bad bad bad!
[08:26] <aslan> oops.. that's the command I'm using
[08:26] <CyRuS> corollax: ok. Thanks, anyway
[08:26] <aslan> the error is about xpidl
[08:26] <aslan> any ideas?
[08:26] <corollax> CyRuS: If you want to try an ubuntu-derivative...
[08:26] <Metatron> i still have to hold onto windows for adobe stuff, and a few other things...(GAMES)
[08:26] <bazhang> kontagious, worth a try
[08:26] <tuntun> Hi. Is there a linux app for backin-up hdd that will hash files to avoid re-archiving a file that has just moved folder/partition?
[08:27] <CyRuS> corollax: like?
[08:27] <Yaroze> has anyone made a deb pkg for pidgin 2.4.3 ?
[08:27] <kontagious> ok ill be back :S
[08:27] <corollax> CyRuS: I can't give high enough praise for Linux Mint. Outstanding distro (you can get it in each of the desktop environments, but primary support goes to GNOME)
[08:27] <tim__b> magnetron, the pidgin package you posted keeps crashing randomly like one other package i tested. is the pidgin website working for anyone?
[08:27] <corollax> CyRuS: If you find yourself liking the regular flavor of Ubuntu the best, try giving Mint a try. Google it!
[08:27] <aslan> Yaroze: ya check out getdeb.net
[08:27] <Metatron> AndrewBC: not as bad as you would think especialy if you encrypt the file system and boot from usb or multisession CD/DVD
[08:27] <CyRuS> corollax: Will do
[08:28] <magnetron> tim__b, have patience until the official patch gets rolled out via the updates
[08:28] <Metatron> i think the cutting of the multiuser out of the distro is why it is so fast, non faster ive found, not dsl, certainly not xubuntu
[08:28] <Yaroze> aslan: ehm 2.4.2 there...
[08:28] <Sebastian> Hi! Is there an ETA for an Ubuntu (Hardy) package for Pidgin 2.4.3?
[08:29] <aslan> Yaroze: hehe.. sorry missed it
[08:29] <AndrewBC> Metatron, and one badly written and ran mistake will shred things fast with little to stop it!
[08:29] <corollax> What's all the hubbub about pidgin? Is there something wrong with the current release?
[08:29] <Kartagis> is it a good or a bad idea to install an RPM software? I think the .tar.gz version is bogged
[08:30] <Sebastian> ICQ is broken as of yesterday.
[08:30] <xnv> corollax: Exactly what I want to know
[08:30] <jeeves__> what is the Winamp look-a-like for Ubuntu?  I just installed XMMS2 and it's nothing like what I remember
[08:30] <xnv> And pidgin.im is down for me
[08:30] <corollax> Kartagis: I'd convert it to a .deb first.
[08:30] <Sebastian> Protocol change or something like that.
[08:30] <xnv> It's the end of the world!
[08:30] <kontagious> bazhang: it worked!!!
[08:30] <corollax> Kartagis: there's a package called 'alien' that would do the trick for you.
[08:30] <Kartagis> corollax: alien?
[08:30] <corollax> Kartagis: check the man page! *grin*
[08:30] <bazhang> kontagious, yay!
[08:30] <Slart> !alien
[08:30] <kontagious> bazhang: of course microsoft has to make things complicated when they dont have to be :S
[08:31] <Metatron> AndrewBC: eh dont wanna debate it, puppy is just what it is, meant to be a client, runs everything as root, not users, no more dangerous than sudoing the wrong command, plus it is way more convenient, different strokes and all
[08:31] <xnv> A communications disruption can mean only one thing... invasion.
[08:31] <kontagious> bazhang: you're a life saver :D
[08:31] <kontagious> thank you
[08:31] <bazhang> xnv, take the chat elsewhere plesae
[08:31] <Slart> jeeves__: audacious is one player
[08:31] <Metatron> sometimes security is the biggest threat to security after all
[08:31] <corollax> Kartagis: Of course, if you can get a regular .deb, that'd be far preferable.
[08:31] <joaopinto> Sebastian, would you like to test a package for pidgin with the ICQ fix ?
[08:31] <xnv> bazhang: It was Ubuntu-relevant a few messages ago
[08:31] <joaopinto> but plese note that I didn't tested yet myself
[08:31] <magnetron> xnv, Sebastian https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591
[08:32] <AndrewBC> Metatron, sounds to me like you're building your case for a debate, but I'll let you be :p
[08:32] <bazhang> xnv but the invasion just tipped over into offtopic :)
[08:32] <jeeves__> Slart, I'm looking for an amlost exact replacment.  It's just that I'm moving a M$ user to Ubuntu, so it has to be simple for them
[08:32] <Slart> !info audacious | jeeves__
[08:32] <Kartagis> i wish i could
[08:32] <Slart> jeeves__: give it a try.. It's been a while since I used winamp but the player looks the same.. it hasn't got the music organization features of winamp though
[08:33] <jeeves__> Slart, that's why I was going to use the old version of XMMS, it looks almost the same
[08:33] <corollax> jeeves__: I'll preface this with an obligatory "Remember that linux isn't windows..."
[08:33] <Sebastian> joaopinto: Sure, I could test the patch. But that would not solve the problem that my sister keeps bugging me about ICQ not working for her :)
[08:33] <corollax> jeeves__: But I've been told that KDE gives a more windows like atmosphere.
[08:33] <joaopinto> Sebastian, ah ok :|
[08:33] <Slart> jeeves__: take a look here http://audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
[08:33] <jeeves__> corollax, lol, I know, but I'm trying to convince this person that it's just as easy
[08:34] <corollax> jeeves__: Actually, I just got done switching my parents over to ubuntu (Wubi made it rather easy to integrate it with their existing OS)
[08:34] <jeeves__> Slart, thanks man, that's what I wanted
[08:34] <tuntun> Is there a app for backin-up hdd that will hash files to avoid re-archiving a file that has just moved folder/partition?
[08:35] <Metatron> lol nah just it is good that there is that option out there if someone wants it, if not there are plenty of alternatives, that is a good thing
[08:35] <Metatron> i run it on an old machine for the kids cause the machine is ancient and it is the fastest ive found, i dont need high security for elmo's adventures in grouchland
[08:35] <Metatron> well the chroot finlay updated, now.....will i be able to boot from it
[08:35] <corollax> jeeves__: Fair warning, there is a bit of work involved in getting any computer completely "idiot proofed"
[08:35] <Metatron> is there a way to monitor current sessions , logon attempts and connections from an ltsp server
[08:35] <Slart> jeeves__: you're welcome
[08:35] <corollax> jeeves__: I'd recommend trying to anticipate what packages and codecs they need before you set it loose for them.
[08:35] <Slart> !backup | tuntun
[08:35] <jeeves__> corollax, that's what I'm doing with this.  it's my mother's laptop, and since she's almost 60, she's not to smart when it gomes to e-mail and browsing, so I'm looking for something SIMPLE.  My next thing is finding a good replacement for M$ streets and trips.  GPSDrive isn't doing it for me.
[08:36] <Slart> tuntun: yes.. there are many apps that do differential backups and many apps use various clever tricks to reduce the size of the backup
[08:36] <corollax> jeeves__: Well, my parents are just about the same exact age -- and they're pleased beyond measure, so I can tell you that it IS POSSIBLE!
[08:37] <corollax> jeeves__: Just be ready to run interference when they need something for the first few weeks.
[08:37] <luca> BELLAAAAAAAA c'è qualcuno italaino?
[08:37] <Slart> !it | luca
[08:37] <corollax> jeeves__: Set up shortcuts on the desktop and/or panels for their most frequently used tasks...
[08:37] <corollax> jeeves__: And make sure you work on them, too -- not just the computer!
[08:37] <jeeves__> corollax, lol, I just ignore them, and since they don't have their orignal M$ disks, they're stuck with it.  Any ideas on the GPS thing?
[08:37] <Slart> !gps
[08:37] <Metatron> what is gnome-apperanc and why is it and Xgl eathing 80-90% cpu?
[08:38] <corollax> jeeves__: Truth be told, I've never heard of it.
[08:38] <Slart> !roadnav
[08:38] <corollax> Metatron: XGL isn't exactly known for efficiency. If at all possible, I'd try another means of graphics support.
[08:39] <jeeves__> corollax, well, I need a good replacement for Streets and trips.  Something that holds the same amount of maps as S & Ts, and is user friendly.  I'm fighting with GPSDrive, and it looks like it'll be too hard for them
[08:39] <greenfishx3> hmm ubuntu wont mount my dvd9, what do I do?
[08:39] <corollax> jeeves__: AHH...I imagine you've browsed synaptic for alternatives, huh?
[08:39] <Slart> greenfishx3: any error messagse? you did put the disc in the drive, right? =)
[08:39] <Metatron> hmm i think i must have switched to xgl when i was fiddling with compiz, ill look into
[08:39] <jeeves__> corollax, yea.  I think that I'm going to look @ roadnav.
[08:39] <greenfishx3> Slart yes sir
[08:40] <corollax> jeeves__: Sorry I couldn't help any further!
[08:40] <greenfishx3> Slart i saw the usual "browse dvd" window as well but theres no dvd icon on my desktop
[08:40] <Metatron> but gnome appearence was just stuck i killed it cpu back to normal
[08:40] <Slart> greenfishx3: oh, no need to sir me.. do you get an icon on the desktop for your other drives?
[08:40] <yesudeep> magnetron: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/203687
[08:40] <Metatron> so is there a way to monitor ltsp connections, login attempts and such?
[08:41] <jeeves__> corollax, well, before I go, can you reccomend a good on-line power usage calculator?  I'm looking @ building a CarPC to take care of MP3s, USB tuner, DVD/CD playback, GPS nav, and other war driving stuff.  I was looking @ the small VIA boards, but I didn't know if it has enough power
[08:41] <corollax> jeeves__:  Power usage calculator? Hrm...
[08:42] <greenfishx3> Slart oh okay then ;) no, I mean i don thave icons on my desktop for media EXCEpt for my dvd, usually when i put a dvd in the try i see the icon on my desktop and i can cp files etc
[08:42] <magnetron> yesudeep, i can transfer files to my nokia using OBEX push. apparently not all devices are affected by this bug
[08:42] <Slart> jeeves__: via boards work nicely.. I use one for my home server
[08:42] <corollax> jeeves__: I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I think powertop might do the trick
[08:42] <Slart> jeeves__: I have no doubt it can play dvds, run gps software etc etc
[08:42] <corollax> jeeves__: Or at least, it might help.
[08:42] <jeeves__> corollax, I want to make sure that it has enough CPU power that it can drive a 10.2" touch screen LCD, and all the other junk I want to toss in there.  it's been decided that it'll run Ubuntu (it's simple and I understnad it), and if I can shoe horn it into my MGB, it'll look good
[08:43] <Slart> greenfishx3: can you see the files on the dvd in nautilus? or the system just ignores it?
[08:43] <corollax> jeeves__: I don't know of any tool that'd let you check...but powertop WOULD help you optimize the life you have.
[08:43] <seravitae> hi guys im having mega problems installing ubuntu from a usb key to an sd card in my eeepc. my issue is quite complex and i've now done 6 reinstalls with no luck, so if someone could help me i'd appreciate it.
[08:44] <greenfishx3> Slart I can see the files, in fact im browsing the folders as we speak through a GUI, but I cant mount it
[08:44] <daYZman-w> does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy?
[08:44] <jeeves__> corollax, and since it'll be a daylight readable LCD, it has to have LARGE on-screen touchable buttons, etc.  I'll still have a small (read "compact") bluetooth keyboard/mouse in the car to fiddle with it
[08:44] <corollax> jeeves__: Utterly out of my realm of expertise. Sorry >,<
[08:44] <greenfishx3> Slart: the gui tells me the dvd is system:/media/hdb/
[08:45] <greenfishx3> slart but usually it gets auto mounted at media/cdrom0
[08:45] <Slart> greenfishx3: hdb?.. sounds like your system thinks this is a harddrive, not a dvd
[08:45] <jeeves__> corollax, lol, no worries.  I'm a M$ systems admin by day, and hardware hacker by night.  I went to school for electronic repair/engineering.  I know how to make it electrically work.  I just want to make sure that it'll run before I drive from BC to Ontario to see family.  And I'd love to have it wardrive along the way
[08:45] <greenfishx3> Slart:  is the a problem?
[08:46] <joaopinto> daYZman-w, if you need the latest nvidia/ati driver version please use envyng
[08:46] <Slart> greenfishx3: nope.. not really.. but it would do stuff like what you've experienced.. it doesn't show an icon on the desktop since it isn't a dvd
[08:47] <greenfishx3> Slart: ah great. but how do I find the right path? ive checked /media there isnt any hdb
[08:47] <jeeves__> ok, roadnav is out of the question.  No support for Canadian maps.  any other ideas guys?
[08:48] <Slart> jeeves__: roadnav and gpsdrive are the two gps packages I know of.. I guess running a windows app using wine might be an option
[08:48] <jeeves__> Slart, lol, that kinda defeats the idea.
[08:48] <Zaber> i need to reinstall APT -- missing 822.pm file
[08:48] <Slart> greenfishx3: but.. how did you browse the dvd?
[08:49] <sijmen> I've upgraded from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS. the upgrade seems to have gone well, but I can't access my system by SSH anymore. so I hooked up a monitor and keyboard, but even in safe mode I'm getting an invalid resolution/refresh rate near the end of the boot up
[08:49] <Slart> jeeves__: indeed..
[08:49] <Zaber> apt-get install --reinstall apt fales
[08:49] <sijmen> pressing alt+ctrl+1 didn't get me into a console either
[08:49] <Dezine> This is annoying so maybe someone can help.. for reason, from time to time, my screen glitches out. Sometimes when I open certain programs it does it, like filezilla. Does it sound like my video card is getting ready to die?
[08:49] <sijmen> so I don't know how to fix this now since I can't get in remotely or locally
[08:49] <jeeves__> Slart, I'm in no rush to build it.  the MG isn't going anywhere
[08:49] <daYZman-w> joaopinto, but does envyng work in gutsy?
[08:49] <greenfishx3> Slart: by using nautilius, but I prefer to use bash for most of the commands, like cp
[08:49] <orly_owl> how can i connect to the net using a huiwei e169g modem on ubuntu netbook remix when running a window manager like icewm?
[08:49] <orly_owl> with pon?
[08:50] <Slart> jeeves__: I'm also waiting for a decent gps navigation app to show up.. I use gpsdrive with a laptop atm.. but it's clunky and has some weird ideas for gui and maps
[08:50] <jeeves__> Slart, is there a way to input an address, etc?
[08:50] <Slart> greenfishx3: when you browsed the files in nautlus, what did the address bar show?
[08:50] <Slart> jeeves__: nope.. it only shows you images.. no navigation at all
[08:50] <greenfishx3> Slart system:/media/hdb/
[08:51] <jeeves__> Slart, hummm, is there a Tom Tom version for linux?
[08:51] <greenfishx3> Slart and i checked /media <-- no hdb only cdrom+floppy
[08:51] <user___> orly_owl: pppoeconf maybe?
[08:51] <Slart> greenfishx3: and there is no folder called hdb in /media???
[08:51] <greenfishx3> Slart correct
[08:51] <Slart> jeeves__: there wasn't when I last looked
[08:52] <jeeves__> Slart, so it's basically a useless program?
[08:52] <Slart> greenfishx3: but.. but... that can't be..
[08:52] <Slart> jeeves__: nope.. it's like a standard map.. but with a marker "You are here".. so not useless
[08:52] <Zaber> 822.pm ?  how do i redownload that file
[08:52] <jeeves__> Slart, lol, the last time I used S & T, I was @ 30,000' and doing 512Mph!
[08:53] <greenfishx3> Slart: cd /media ls -l cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 thats all
[08:53] <Naisenu> I keep getting X server restarts when I try to browse screensaver options. Any ideas why?
[08:53] <Slart> greenfishx3: and you're really really sure that the address bar in nautlius says the dvd is mounted at /media/hdb ??
[08:54] <nivash> Hey there?
[08:54] <nivash> what are the important applications for linux desktop?
[08:54] <jeeves__> Slart, can you tell me how to udev a rule so my GPS mounts to the same port #?
[08:54] <hischild> When i use gnome i lose sound and all my progs are unable to play sound (both my using ALSA and OSS) yet when i switch to fluxbox i get all my sound back and all progs work.
[08:54] <Slart> nivash: for whom?
[08:54] <greenfishx3> slart this is an exact paste from nautilius "system:/media/hdb/"
[08:54] <nivash> for myself
[08:55] <Slart> jeeves__: nggh.. udev rules.. nope.. never messed with those
[08:55] <nivash> Im just installing ubuntu studio
[08:55] <greenfishx3> slart i checked the gui this is even weird
[08:55] <greenfishx3> slart according to my gui its mounted as a cdrom, yet when I try to cp like ive done millions of times
[08:55] <jeeves__> Slart, ok, I was going to install VMware and see if they made a machine for the VIA boards
[08:55] <hischild> greenfishx3: if you type mount where does it say it mounted it?
[08:56] <WalloO> Naisenu, maybe one is opengl (3D) and your x11 driver doesn't work well.
[08:56] <carrera> Greetings Earthlings! :)
[08:56] <Slart> nivash: well.. as I see it.. you're not using office so you wont be needing that.. you're an avid emacs user so install that.. and nethack.. you play nethack night and day.. you don't need a network connection.. so remove the networking software... am I close?
[08:56] <greenfishx3> slart nvm i ejected the dvd9 and re mounted it works great now, weird error, thanks for the help though, same to you hischild
[08:56] <quinn> Hi, i install cairo-dock to my ubuntu 8.04 today, but i don't know how to change the language to english. because i dont know french
[08:56] <Slart> greenfishx3: I was beginning to think your computer was possessed or something =)
[08:57] <hischild> When i use gnome i lose sound and all my progs are unable to play sound (both my using ALSA and OSS) yet when i switch to fluxbox i get all my sound back and all progs work.
[08:57] <greenfishx3> Slart: :D
[08:57] <plouffe> My Ubuntu thunderbird froze 4 times in the 3 minutes since I've logged in. Any ideas?
[08:57] <nivash> Thanks slart!
[08:57] <plouffe> 5 times
[08:58] <hischild> plouffe: start it via console and look if it shows any errors.
[08:58] <debasys> is there a compatible wireless mouse? official hardware compatibility list does not have any info.
[08:58] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes: "Evolution is a groupware suite." How to synchronize the Evolution address book among 2 Ubuntu Hardy computers in a LAN?
[08:58] <hischild> debasys: nearly all work flawlessly, only if you have more then 5 buttons  on your mouse you might have to do some configuration but nothign special.
[08:58] <magnetron> debasys, any mouse that uses the USB or PS/2 protocol will work
[08:59] <debasys> hischild: oh i just need left/right click plus scroll function
[08:59] <debasys> no no i am talking about wireless ones
[08:59] <hischild> debasys: then all work that use the USB or PS2 protocol (that's pretty much every mouse you can get, including wireless ones)
[08:59] <DJones> debasys: I use a microsoft wireless mouse which works with no problems on ubuntu
[09:00] <ogre> just curious what i should use for harddrive encryption. any help would be appreciated
[09:00] <magnetron> DJones, their mice are their best products :D
[09:00] <Slart> ogre: truecrypt is one app
[09:00] <debasys> DJones: yes i was also thinking of getting MS mouse
[09:00] <tyberion> Hello guys:)
[09:00] <magnetron> ogre, look into dmcrypt and luks
[09:00] <tyberion> What application can I use for burning a CD 1:1 ?
[09:00] <DJones> magnetron: :)
[09:00] <mrynit> my laptop is not working the way it should. it is getting way too hot before turning the fan on. is htere a way i can fix this?
[09:00] <erry> Hi
[09:00] <erry> i installed timidity
[09:01] <erry> and midis play
[09:01] <erry> but how do i play them in firefox
[09:01] <kaushal> hi all
[09:01] <plouffe> hischild, no freeze since I started from console
[09:01] <erry> Cuz they wont play
[09:01] <hischild> erry: calm down on the enter please.
[09:01] <erry> sorry :D
[09:01] <Tukotih> Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card?
[09:01] <erry> i have that tiny.. problem.
[09:01] <debasys> DJones: do u have inbuilt bluetooth in ur pc/laptop? what bluetooth device should i use
[09:01] <erry> can u please tell me
[09:01] <debasys> i don't have bluetooth in my laptop
[09:01] <DJones> debasys: sorry, i don't use bluetooth
[09:01] <hischild> plouffe: that's odd. Can you restart it from the menu instead of console and see if it buggs again?
[09:01] <Tukotih> Lol, How often do you need BT? :p
[09:02] <kaushal> i'm unable to install 3gp cpnverter
[09:02] <debasys> DJones: so how do u connect the mouse? wifi
[09:02] <plouffe> ah ok, now it froze with a bunch of crap on the screen
[09:02] <Tukotih> lol
[09:02] <DJones> debasys: no, its got a usb dongle that came with the mouse, just plugged it in and it worked fine
[09:02] <hischild> debasys: there's multiple wireless versions. Most use their own wireless connection because it doesn't dwar heavy on the battery allowing it to las tlong.
[09:02] <Tukotih> Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card?
[09:02] <debasys> hischild: oh
[09:03] <blankthemuffin> Hey, I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas?
[09:03] <plouffe> hischild, glibc detected double free or corruption (out). Then it shows a backtrace and memory map over several lines.
[09:03] <blankthemuffin> The hardware switch has bluetooth enabled.
[09:03] <debasys> DJones: just to be clear, which model can u point me to, i assume u r using hardy
[09:03] <hischild> plouffe: from the console?
[09:03] <erry> Can u please tell me how to make midis work in firefox they play fine out of it but dont play in it
[09:03] <plouffe> yes
[09:03] <erry> i have timidity now
[09:03] <erry> and the extra thing
[09:03] <Tukotih> Search in the Pkg Manager, Im sure youll all find something for your bluetooths!
[09:03] <debasys> DJones: nevermind, all models should work fine
[09:04] <plouffe> it's about 500 lines of that stuff
[09:04] <hischild> plouffe: that sounds like either a compile gone wrong, a corrupted binary or a bug. Can you try to reproduce it by starting from console again?
[09:04] <Tukotih> Then check them!
[09:04] <DJones> debasys: This is the one I use http://www.ciao.co.uk/Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_Mouse__6504473
[09:04] <plouffe> ok
[09:05] <hischild> plouffe: if it crashes again you can try to reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it it sounds like a bug and i recommend filing a bugreport.
[09:06] <DJones> debasys: Yes, I'm using Hardy, it worked fine on Gutsy as well
[09:06] <debasys> DJones: ah great, thanks for all the info :)
[09:06] <plouffe> it just did the same thing again
[09:06] <pavs> is netscape for linux still developed, or firefox/flock is a fork of it?
[09:06] <Tukotih> Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card?
[09:06] <GNU\colossus> netscape is dead
[09:06] <Tukotih> ???
[09:06] <tyberion> What application can I use for burning a CD 1:1 ? :D Thanks :)
[09:07] <plouffe> hischild, Can I compile from source and would that help?
[09:07] <pavs> ok thanks I wasnt sure
[09:07] <hischild> plouffe: does it state what binary is causing the error and can you pastebin it? That might give me a clue as on what's going wrong specifically.
[09:07] <Kartagis> tyberion: gnomebaker
[09:07] <k20a> could i use the logitech MX AIR and use the "pointer" feature on ubuntu?
[09:07] <hischild> plouffe: You can compile from source, yes. It might fix that yes.
[09:07] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia =)
[09:08] <plouffe> I'll put it in paste.ubuntu.com, one sec
[09:08] <DJones> pavs: This article says whats happened to netscape http://blog.netscape.com/2007/12/28/end-of-support-for-netscape-web-browsers/
[09:09] <pavs> Thanks djones, appreciate it
[09:09] <plouffe> hischild -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24412/
[09:09] <happy_tux> hello. I have a quick question :)  I have a directory listing in terminal. I want to print that directory listing out to printer.....? whats tha command ?
[09:10] <FuRom> Does anyone know anything about ettercap and making the filters work? I can't do anything that involves manipulating data, and it's bothering me. I can't just go to the ettercap community, because their message board refuses to send activation emails.
[09:11] <Slart> happy_tux: lpr?
[09:11] <Slart> happy_tux: though I'm not sure if that commands works any more.. last time I used it was 15 years ago
[09:12] <hischild> plouffe: can you reinstall thunderbird? ==> sudo aptitude reinstall thunderbird
[09:12] <hischild> plouffe: if that doesn't work we can try to compile from source.
[09:12] <happy_tux> ok well i typed it in...just kinda hangin there :(
[09:12] <plouffe> ok, I will make a complete removal and reinstall from synaptic. Is that ok?
[09:12] <Slart> happy_tux: ah.. you have to send stuff to it..    "ls /etc/samba/ | lpr"
[09:13] <Zaber_> This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
[09:13] <hischild> plouffe: that is also ok, yet i can't garantee that you'will keep your current data.
[09:13] <Zaber_> debconf: DbDriver "config": Error setting up format object 822: Can't locate Debconf/Format/822.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 13) line 2, <DEBCONF_CONFIG> chunk 3.
[09:13] <Zaber_> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 13) line 2, <DEBCONF_CONFIG> chunk 3.
[09:13] <happy_tux> is there a argument to say current directory ?
[09:13] <hischild> plouffe: complete removal also removes the configuration and data files, which may containt he data of it.
[09:13] <hischild> zaber: use pastebin.
[09:13] <plouffe> ok, I did the sudo reinstall
[09:14] <Zaber_> i need 822.pm -- somehow got deleted
[09:14] <happy_tux> ok well its more info than i had! :-) thanks
[09:14] <hischild> plouffe: did it finish yet? That'd be quite fast.
[09:14] <blankthemuffin> Hey, I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas? The hardware switch is enabled but ubuntu won't detect it.
[09:14] <plouffe> starting firebird again
[09:14] <sijmen> since a 6.06 -> 8.06 upgrade my computer seems to be switching to some resolution or refresh rate at some point at boot, even in safe mode. anything I can do?
[09:14] <joonasl_> hey guys.. any estimate on when the Pidgin 2.4.3 would be available in the ubuntu repos?
[09:15] <hischild> plouffe: firebird or thunderbird?
[09:15] <Coudy> hi, i can't write to tftp server. i'm using tftpd-hpa, rights for tftpboot are > lrwxrwxrwx   1 nobody  root     17 2007-06-26 11:00 tftpboot -> /var/lib/tftpboot
[09:15] <plouffe> thunderbird
[09:15] <joonasl_> there is an issue with icq that is fixed in that version
[09:15] <blankthemuffin> Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line joonasl_.
[09:15] <k20a> could i use the logitech MX AIR and use the "pointer" feature on ubuntu?
[09:15] <Slart> joonasl_: I'd guess that considering the amount of people affected by this it will be out pretty soon
[09:15] <blankthemuffin> Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line sijmen even
[09:16] <plouffe> this time it's frozen without any error output, but I can still resize the window. but the contents are blank.
[09:16] <joonasl_> blankthemuffin: what?? :)
[09:16] <jeeves__> how do I find out what's eating SERIOUS CPU time on my system?
[09:16] <Slart> jeeves__: top, htop
[09:16] <hischild> plouffe: did you start it from command line?
[09:16] <plouffe> yes
[09:16] <jeeves__> Slart, I tred that
[09:16] <blankthemuffin> jeeves__, top or the resource monitor
[09:16] <hischild> plouffe: and does it give you any output?
[09:16] <plouffe> been blank for 2 minutes now
[09:16] <plouffe> no nothing
[09:16] <sijmen> blankthemuffin: even in failsafe I get this. I have no idea how to get to a command line now. even alt+ctrl+# doesn't get me to a console
[09:16] <Slart> jeeves__: didn't find anything?
[09:16] <sijmen> SSH doesn't seem to be working either
[09:17] <hischild> plouffe: kill it and restart.  In single user mode (rescue mode) it never gives you extra consoles as it only has one.
[09:18] <messiah> hey guys
[09:18] <messiah> im back
[09:18] <happy_tux> Slart: that worked thanks...just 1 more if i may?  output to text file ?
[09:18] <blankthemuffin> I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas? The hardware switch is enabled but ubuntu won't detect it.
[09:18] <sijmen> whatever I currently do – any of the options in grub – lead to the freq out of range error
[09:18] <Tukotih> Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card?
[09:18] <jeeves__> Slart, do you know anything about VMWare?
[09:19] <hischild> blankthemuffin: do dmesg | grep -i bluetooth to see if something comes up about bluetooth. Might give you a hint on what's wrong.
[09:19] <Slart> happy_tux: almost the same.. "ls /some/path/here > yourfilename"
[09:19] <plouffe> hischild, it was checking messages, then said connection to localhost failed, then the same error output.
[09:19] <messiah> hey guys.. i got madwifi extracted on my desktop.. wats the terminal command to install it? :S
[09:19] <Slart> jeeves__: nope.. never used it
[09:19] <DistroJockey> sijmen, how about removing   quiet splash   from the end of the grub kernel line?
[09:19] <hischild> plouffe: do you have a firewall of some sorts installed?
[09:19] <seravitae> ok i got to the ubuntu login screen, i login, and i get the ubuntu backround and the cursor - now it wont do anything. any ideas?
[09:19] <plouffe> glibc detected. I had the connection to localhost failed message one other time out of 8 crashes .
[09:19] <sijmen> DistroJockey: I didn't see quet, but without splash I'm getting the same unfortunately
[09:20] <jeeves__> Slart, hummm, I think it'll be easier to VMWare that car system instead of outlaying a grand
[09:20] <DistroJockey> sijmen, ahh, bummer :(
[09:20] <messiah> hello?
[09:20] <sijmen> also, I've had a lot of booting by that time already, lots of [ok]s went by :P
[09:20] <Slart> jeeves__: perhaps
[09:20] <plouffe> I have firestarter, but I've always had it and never had a thunderbird problem before
[09:20] <blankthemuffin> hischild, http://pb.luahelp.net/456
[09:20] <jeeves__> Slart, have you used the mobile version of Ubuntu yet?
[09:20] <fire2000> hola
[09:20] <Craig> lol autojoin
[09:21] <Slart> jeeves__: nope.. is it available? I thought it was being created?
[09:21] <hischild> plouffe: then i'm at a loss, sorry :(
[09:21] <DeVonne> so what's up!?!?
[09:21] <hischild> blankthemuffin: it finds your bluetooth, now you only need the programs to use it, with which i can't help.
[09:21] <sijmen> maybe there is a way to boot into single user, console runlevel from grub?
[09:22] <plouffe> hischild, Ok thanks, just two questins: Where do I file a bug report? And how would I install from source?
[09:22] <blankthemuffin> hischild, I have the programs, they arn't recognising it. :P
[09:22] <Zaber_> can someone send me usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm -- mine deleted
[09:22] <hischild> blankthemuffin: do you have a bluetooth icon top right?
[09:22] <hischild> plouffe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs for the bugs
[09:22] <hischild> !compile | plouffe
[09:23] <blankthemuffin> hischild, only when I tell it to display always or start it manually, the "only show when device present" shows nothing.
[09:23] <jeeves__> Slart, I didn't know, hence why I asked.  if it's up and running, it'd be nice to use something that's designed to be as thin as possible
[09:23] <Coudy> hi, i can't write to tftp server. i'm using tftpd-hpa, rights for tftpboot are > drwxrwxrwx  10 nobody        tftp             4096 2008-07-02 09:32 tftpboot
[09:23] <ttkeppi> can ubuntu be installed into htc tytn (it's a smartphone)? -i'm thinking of getting one, but the win mobile operating system isn't the thing i want.
[09:23] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes: "Evolution is a groupware suite." How to synchronize the Evolution adress book among 2 Ubuntu Hardy computers  in a LAN?
[09:23] <hischild> blankthemuffin: it does show on dmesg though, so it's detected. I'm sorry but that's all i can do for now :(
[09:24] <DistroJockey> Zaber, http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3
[09:24] <ikonia> bullgard4: you need a middle ground - something like ldap to keep them in sync, or you'll have to export and import your address book files on a regular bassis
[09:24] <DistroJockey> Zaber_, http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3
[09:24] <blankthemuffin> k hischild. I'll see what I can do.
[09:24] <bullgard4> ikonia: What do you mean by "regular basis"?
[09:25] <Zaber_> DistroJockey, THX !
[09:25] <ikonia> bullgard4: to keep them on sync you'll have to export and import the files between the two machines at regular intervals
[09:25] <Gurpartap> anyone got a G15 keyboard?
[09:25] <DistroJockey> Zaber_, you're welcome
[09:25] <Slart> jeeves__: yes.. it would be nice for a smaller system that doesn't need all the bells and whistles
[09:25] <Snaury> Hello, can anybody help me? How do I upload a source package to my ppa and get it compiled for both hardy and intrepid?
[09:25] <ikonia> Snaury: ppa ?
[09:25] <Snaury> ikonia: personal package archive
[09:26] <ikonia> Snaury: ahhh
[09:26] <ikonia> Snaury: I upload using bza
[09:26] <Snaury> Or is there some other channel for this kind of questions?
[09:26] <ikonia> Snaury: you could try #launchpad
[09:26] <jeeves__> Slart, well, if I can strip the crap out of it (slackware style), then I won't need anything more than a 900Mhz system.  And since the MG has 2 12V batteries in it, then I can run it and the audio amps off of the second battery
[09:26] <ikonia> Snaury: or #ubuntu-launchpad
[09:26] <bullgard4> ikonia: The export and import of common files at regular intervals will I have to organize myself, or does Evolution provide assistive routines for that?
[09:27] <ikonia> bullgard4: no you'll have to do that yourself, as global address books are normally handled by a middle ground such as ldap
[09:27] <whochismo> Good morning, does anybody know the best way of mounting a samba share to each user, in order to have different permissions to each of them?
[09:27] <ikonia> whochismo: set the permissions on the file system - not the moount
[09:27] <ikonia> mount
[09:27] <Slart> jeeves__: 900 Mhz will be plenty.. especially if the board has some hardware for playing sound, video and such
[09:28] <jeeves__> Slart, well, I'm looking to run a bunch of stuff on it though
[09:28] <whochismo> ikonia: but if i mount the share using one user, then all the users that use that shared folder would have the same permisions, no?
[09:28] <bullgard4> ikonia: Using your information, I will keep on reserching for a suitable solution for me. -- Thank you.
[09:28] <Slart> jeeves__: my popcorn hour plays hd material just fine.. and I think that runs on a <1Ghz chip
[09:28] <bullgard4> researching
[09:28] <ikonia> whochismo: no - set the permissions on the file system, not the share
[09:28] <whochismo> ok ok
[09:29] <Slart> jeeves__: as long as you don't start playing half-life 2 on it, it should be fine =)
[09:29] <Zaber_> get the following error anytime i try to install from APT-GET ----> "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line "
[09:30] <jeeves__> Slart, I want to be able to play DVDs (full screen), have a decient MP3 player (with a good media manager), radio tuner, maybe a TV tuner, wardriving setup (kismet, and have it write the log files every time it suspends (when the system goes into snooze mode), etc.
[09:31] <Slart> jeeves__: I think any of via's itx chips will do that without breaking a sweat
[09:31] <bullgard4> ikonia: libldap-2.4-2 (These are the run-time libraries for the OpenLDAP (Lightweight Directory
[09:32] <lwizardl> does anyone know how to get the left speaker working on ubuntu?
[09:32] <whochismo> the left speaker?
[09:32] <Slart> lwizardl: plug the speakers in.. play music.. that usually works
[09:32] <whochismo> all the speakrers should work...
[09:32] <woody86_> lol
[09:32] <bullgard4> ikonia: libldap-2.4-2 (These are the run-time libraries for the OpenLDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers and clients.) are already installed on my computer. Is this enough to use LDAP for Evolution?
[09:32] <jeeves__> Slart, I'm just concered about the amount of CPU time (and USB bandwidth) I'll end up using with a USB ROM (allthough I think I can use onboard IDE) with the external 200Gb drive, and USB sound card (I'm all about the dolby sound, so I'll buy a good creatives USB sound card to put in the trunk)
[09:32] <whochismo> without any problem
[09:32] <whochismo> even if you have 5.1
[09:32] <Fusion_Fx> lwizardl: check out foh looze wires in your left speaker...! ;)
[09:32] <ikonia> bullgard4: no, you'll need an ldap server
[09:33] <ikonia> bullgard4: it will need to be setup to act as a directory for your address book
[09:33] <ikonia> then use evolution as a client to access it
[09:33] <Slart> jeeves__: be careful with creative.. check that the card is supported before you buy it
[09:33] <avis> how is a workstation graphics card different than a desktop graphics card under ubuntu hardy ?
[09:34] <bullgard4> ikonia: ok.
[09:34] <ikonia> avis: what do you mean
[09:34] <jeeves__> Slart, you know what I'm looking for though, right?
[09:34] <Slart> jeeves__: but 5.1 sound output will not be a problem.. playing dvd's wont be a problem (especially if the board has some kind of hardware for mpeg2 decoding).. I don't think the usb rom will be much trouble either
[09:34] <avis> ikonia, how does a workstation graphics card differ in color, graphic display, overall appearance of windows, etc, compared to a desktop graphics card ?
[09:35] <ikonia> avis: it's just a name
[09:35] <jeeves__> Slart, as I said, the drives and then outputting the sound to a USB card I'm concerned about the amount of crap flowing down the wire.  There'll be GPS, 200Gb HDD, sound card, and possibly the ROM on the USB line
[09:35] <ikonia> avis: a workstation can be a desktop
[09:35] <ikonia> avis: a desktop can be a workstation
[09:36] <slix> how can ja change the keyboard layout at synergy? :-
[09:36] <Slart> jeeves__: well.. you'll have to benchmark it before you can be sure.. but I think it will be alright
[09:37] <avis> ikonia, certain video cards are marketed as workstation video cards.  i'm guessing that some chipsets are not shared with desktop video cards in this care, thats why i wonder about how they do stand apart.
[09:37] <ikonia> avis: it's just a name
[09:37] <jeeves__> Slart, that brings me to the question of how to do it without buying the hardware.  as you said, I need something less than 1ghz, but I don't want to buy a 500Mhz and find out it's too slow
[09:37] <daYZman-w> does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? does envyng support gutsy?
[09:37] <jeeves__> Slart, and I'm thinking that 2-4Gb of RAM would REALLY help though.
[09:38] <Slart> avis: workstation cards have drivers that focus more on opengl 2d acceleration.. correct graphics instead of speed etc
[09:38] <ikonia> avis: I could badge any desktop card as a "workstation" card
[09:38] <avis> yes i realize that.  and apples are different than oranges and the Quadro (workstation) chipset is different from a Geforce.
[09:38] <Gabriel23> anyone have already got the error "DATA command failed : Message refused" with evolution ? :/, it caused by a file attachement but i dont know why
[09:38] <ariqs> I'm going to be compiling pidgin because the version that comes with ubuntu doesn't work with icq anymore.   My question is this: Before I make install the version I compile, what needs to be done with the current one installed?
[09:38] <avis> thank you Slart
[09:38] <Slart> jeeves__: not necessarily.. if you're not using it for something special.. more than 1 GB or RAM might be overkill
[09:38] <ikonia> ariqs: you could remove it - but I'd advise you to just wait for ubuntu to fix it
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset
[09:39] <ikonia> ariqs: if you install your own version of pidgen you'll lose package manager awareness of pidgen and as pidgin is linked into the desktop packages, I don't think thats the best thing to do
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset
[09:39] <Slart> jeeves__: I don't know how media players use extra memory but I still haven't found one that caches more than a couple of seconds worth of dvd data
[09:39] <ariqs> ikonia: is there anyway I can keep my current configuration and just copy over the new version parts?
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset
[09:39] <jeeves__> Slart, really?  I would love to suspend EVERYTHING to RAM if possible.  I'll have to look @ the electrical requirements for it.  I'm just concerned about the draw.  it would be nice to be able to wake it up via WiFi though
[09:39] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset
[09:39] <ikonia> kaushal: stop asking
[09:40] <Slart> kaushal: yes.. we know now.. now stop
[09:40] <ikonia> kaushal: your asking every 5 seconds, please stop and wait for a response
[09:40] <ariqs> well, I don't really have patience for ubuntu's speed at these updating these packages. I've got quite a few I've ended up compiling myself
[09:40] <jeeves__> Slart, and for the DVD playback, I'd need a good buffer (due to road vibrations seeing as the poor car was built in 1972)
[09:40] <Slart> jeeves__: yes.. that would be nice.. but hibernate might be almost as good.. and use a lot less power
[09:40] <ikonia> ariqs: how quick the response will be will most probably depend on how serious the fault is, I would expect pidgin to be a quick turn around
[09:41] <Slart> jeeves__: or you could get one of those CF to IDE adapters and install the system on a compact flash card..
[09:41] <Zaber_> how do i fix this error "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line " -- i get it anytime i try to install via APT-GET (anything)
[09:41] <jeeves__> Slart, true.  it's something I'd have to look into.  I'm figuring that a full boot would be too much for an auto enviroment, but I'm going to need to make sure that it boots fine and suspends/resumes corectly when I turn the car off, etc
[09:41] <ariqs> how serious the fault is is subjective to whether the person deciding uses ICQ ;)
[09:42] <jeeves__> Slart, I was thinking about that actully.  a 4-8Gb CF card on the IDE channel, and store the rest of the stuff on the external 200Gb drive
[09:42] <Guillaum3> greets guys. i want my wallpaper to be the output returned from "sudo tcpflow -c -i eth0"
[09:42] <ikonia> ariqs: as pidgin is a core part of ubuntu , and icq a core function, I think it's a reasonable assumption to say this is on the high list
[09:42] <plouffe> hischild, I am thinking it may be related to my hotmail account and the fact htat MS disabled their webmail protocol today. I freeze exactly when I try to remove the hotmail account. How could I remove it offline?
[09:42] <GTS> I have a problem my keyboard config is messed up
[09:42] <kaushal> i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset
[09:42] <Guillaum3> how would i get the console to run at the back of my desktop, not in a window (not clickable)
[09:42] <Slart> jeeves__: I'm also thinking of doing a small car computer.. but I will probably do a full shutdown.. on a slim system a full cold boot might take ~20-30 secs.. that's not to bad
[09:42] <jeeves__> Slart, but what is the reliabilty of those cards/adaptors?  I'm not in the mood of ripping my baby apart every few months.
[09:43] <ikonia> Guillaum3: you mean like a wall paper ?
[09:43] <Guillaum3> yeah
[09:43] <Guillaum3> but it should give me a live feed of whats going through eth0
[09:43] <Slart> jeeves__: I don't know.. I haven't used one myself.. but you could put it somewhere reasonable easy to access.. that way you could update the system by just bringing the cd-card home with you
[09:43] <jeeves__> Slart, well, I was thinking of putting in a button (hidden somewhere in the beast) to tell the system to do a full shut down if it's going to be a few days.  I think the sleep on them uses ~350-500mAh, and on a fully charged car battery, that's going to last a LONG time
[09:43] <ikonia> Guillaum3: you could look at xsetroot but I'm not sure thats possible to be honest
[09:44] <Guillaum3> suppose i could cron screengrabs and update the background the whole time.
[09:44] <Guillaum3> you know, as a jpeg
[09:44] <ikonia> Guillaum3: I think that wouldn't work either,
[09:44] <joshhunt> Hello everyone
[09:44] <Guillaum3> ikonia: why not
[09:44] <jeeves__> Slart, there is a usless part in the middle consel of the car that I'm thinking about taking out the ashtray and putting the unit in there under plexi and LED lighting it
[09:44] <Slart> jeeves__: sounds like a good plan..and one of those "cut off power connection of battery gets low"-thingies you can get almost anywhere
[09:44] <GTS> Could someone help me with my keyboard layout
[09:44] <joshhunt> i know this is a noobish question, but how do i find out the size of a file in mb?
[09:44] <ikonia> Guillaum3: you could try opening an exterm without any borders, making it full screen and then layering things on top of it ?
[09:45] <ikonia> joshhunt: right click on it and hit properties
[09:45] <jeeves__> Slart, I think there's something that's designed for those boards to be used in a auto enviroment anyways that pulls the system out of snooze if the voltage gets too low to properly shut it down, etc
[09:45] <C00re> Good morning, what is the java package called if i wanna apt-get it?
[09:45] <Zaber_> how do i fix this error "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line " -- i get it anytime i try to install via APT-GET (anything) -- seems like my Debconfig is corrupted -- is this easy to fix ?
[09:45] <Guillaum3> ikonia: how do i do this bypassing of x (no borders)
[09:45] <Slart> jeeves__: ah.. didn't know that..useful
[09:46] <ikonia> Guillaum3: don't use an xterm, using something like an Eterm
[09:46] <Shadow420> is there a guide to use socks4-clients package?
[09:46] <jeeves__> Slart, and the second battery in my beast is isolated when the car isn't on to prevent the main battery from draining.  once the voltage reaches 13.8V, it opens up and charges the second battery.  that way, I can pound out my system when the car is off, and still drive home @ night
[09:46] <joshhunt> ikonia: Oh no, im using ubuntu server. How do i do it from cli?
[09:47] <Slart> jeeves__: where do you keep the second battery? trunk?
[09:47] <ikonia> joshhunt: ls -lah
[09:47] <GTS> Could someone help me my keyboard is messed up
[09:47] <Guillaum3> brb
[09:47] <ikonia> joshhunt: however if your at that level, I'd suggest using the desktop version, you'll find it much easier and a better learning tool
[09:47] <joshhunt> ikonia: Thanks :)
[09:47] <daYZman-w> does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? does envyng support gutsy?
[09:47] <joshhunt> ikonia: I cant, im using it on my server :p
[09:47] <Slart> jeeves__: but we're getting very !ot now, this isn't about ubuntu any more..=)

[09:48] <jeeves__> Slart, the MGB orignally came with 2 6V batteries.  So I found/sourced 2 small (since the 6V cells are smaller) 12V deep cell ones.  So there is 2 battery wells behind each seat
