[09:33] <fyrestrtr> is there way to have apt-get install all the recommended and suggested packages when installing something?
[09:33] <CheetahMk2> fyrestrtr: Aptitude works for me
[09:33] <zcat[1] > Brkopac: foo="bar"
[09:33] <zcat[1] > Brkopac: foo="bar" ; echo "$foo"
[09:33] <Brkopac> okay
[09:33] <CheetahMk2> sudo aptitude and go down and press + next to the blue or green swuares
[09:33] <Brkopac> thanks
[09:34] <IRCMonkeyX> hi; when i open my computer, it always configures network in black screen, before login screen, is it normal ??
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> yeah thanks, but I'm looking for a way to do it in apt-get
[09:34] <citizen> mrpolite, are you still there?
[09:34] <zcat[1] > it's kinda weird; you assign the name, but always read from $name
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyX: yes
[09:34] <IRCMonkeyX> thanx
[09:34] <Brkopac> MonkeyX -> I had that probelm when I messed up X, I couldn't recover from it, i ended up reinstalling Ubuntu
[09:35] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, yes, remoember its history, mostly it expects to be a server, so it serves and you don't have log in to make stuff happen and normally you want the network to be there on a web server before you log into it
[09:35] <CheetahMk2> Huzzah! I have Ubuntu server working with a Xubuntu desktop install and a Ubuntu server : /
[09:35] <CheetahMk2> er... Ubuntu Gnome GDM : p
[09:36] <CheetahMk2> Frankenstein lives...
[09:36] <citizen> mrpolite: go to system > preferences > removeable drives and media > multimedia and you can disable rhythmbox opening when you connect your ipod
[09:36] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, actually, if you asked in #xubuntu you would find that that can be considered normal for xubuntu :)
[09:36] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: so can we say that  behaving like  is normal ?
[09:36] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, I hope so :)
[09:37] <IRCMonkeyX> :)
[09:37] <CheetahMk2> Darn... well, for some reason all windows are stuck in the upper left hand corner and have no Maximize/minimize/close controls
[09:37] <CheetahMk2> I think I broke something

[09:37] <CheetahMk2>  ompaul   would you know a fix?
[09:37] <Hobbsee> hi ompaul
[09:37] <Gumby> how does one suspend to ram in ubuntu.  the only option I get is hibernate which is aparantly to disk and not ram. anyone have any ideas?
[09:38] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, that is a question for the channel  #xubuntu  -- please don't use colours on someones name - I have them turned off it just looks silly
[09:38] <citizen> Gumby, what kind of computer are you running this on? you may not have acpi support under linux
[09:38] <CheetahMk2> ompaul, that doesn't have color...? I changed it to use a char only long ago.
[09:39] <Gumby> citizen: I have a fairly recent compaq which suspends to ram fine in a few other distros.
[09:39] <Awal> where is the ssh log?
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> I'll fix it if it seems off.
[09:39] <ompaul> CheetahMk2, a little utf8 box with  0088 in it, my name then the same kind of box and 009B text
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> ah, that would be
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> mIrc color code trip.
[09:39] <CheetahMk2> I removed the color, but it uses the trip anyway it seems.
[09:40] <mrPolite> well, lappy battery dying too lazy to get the cord, so i guess its time to shut it down
[09:40] <Gumby> mrPolite: try hibernate/suspend to disk.  hehe

[09:41] <twa1296> hi, i'm getting an error whilst booting, "preparing restricted drivers" fails and my bootlog shows the following:* Preparing restricted drivers...       ^[[128G mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile': Read-only file system - any ideas?
[09:41] <some_dude> kubuntu is really pretty, if I download and install the server, and then add kde, will it be that pretty ?
[09:42] <citizen> Gumby: here is a wiki HOWTO https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto
[09:42] <MatthewV> some_dude, yes!
[09:42] <Gumby> citizen: thx.  reading both now
[09:42] <MatthewV> some_dude, from the server, just run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:43] <some_dude> I've already got a base install of kubuntu, is there any reason I should use the server CD instead of the one I'm using ?
[09:43] <CheetahMk2> It's smaller, I guess
[09:43] <CheetahMk2> I've tried finding a way to make the desktop install smaller, to no avail
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> some_dude: no, no reason.
[09:43] <chris449> !shipit
[09:43] <ubotu> shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org

[09:46] <fyrestrtr> johnny_: unless you deleted them, you can just change them from system > preferences > theme

[09:46] <Yuuki> Any command to get info about the hardware, etc?
[09:46] <nalpha> anyone know what i should to do to install Directory Server in Ubuntu?? Use what software, i'm already try Fedora Directory Server but can't install properly... so any comment please...
[09:46] <_FlUiD_> dapper is installed on my laptop
[09:46] <MatthewV> citizen, i recall someone wrote such a guide on the forums for breezy
[09:46] <johnny_> theyre gone fyrestrtr
[09:46] <johnny_> now i have thes orange icons that look really stupid
[09:46] <citizen> ok, ill search, back soon
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> Yuuki: lspci -vv or lshw
[09:46] <johnny_> and nautilus doesnt show the side pane
[09:47] <johnny_> and the option isnt in veiw
[09:47] <llama32> _FlUiD_: if you mean dialup, run pppconfig as root... it's fairly self explanatory, but google/ask here if you don't understand something...
[09:47] <llama32> _FlUiD_: there may also be GUI tools - KPPP for KDE, i'm sure there's one for gnome...
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> johnny_: you can just reinstall the desktop (sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop) or if you want to install just the icons, install those from synaptic (search for human-azul)
[09:47] <Yuuki> fyrestrtr thank you!
[09:48] <_FlUiD_> llama32: tried that but i think my modem wasn't recognized yet by ubuntu
[09:48] <CheetahMk2> fyrestrtr, would you happen to know how to do a minimal install of ubuntu from the desktop CD
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> CheetahMk2: from the desktop cd its not possible, from the alternate cd it is.
[09:48] <johnny_> alright thanks fyrestrtr
[09:48] <johnny_> aptitude and now apt-get
[09:48] <CheetahMk2> Aha, I didn't know that. Thanks.
[09:49] <johnny_> what about the nautilus side pane fyrestrtr
[09:49] <IRCMonkeyX> fyrestrtr: when i use gedit, how will i compile it ? for example now i have hello.c
[09:49] <johnny_> do you know how i get that back?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> nalpha: the directory server is just ldap. You can install openldap and you'll have the same thing, just install a ldap browser (like phpldapadmin or something)
[09:49] <llama32> _FlUiD_: try googling "linux <insert modem or laptop or motherboard model here>" or something

[09:50] <RichEd> hello ... quickie ... how do i kill a file explorer window that is not responding (network authentication hung in background i think)
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> tj_: when you install wine (from repos) -- and you double click on a exe, it will automatically launch with ine.
[09:50] <johnny_> doesnt do anything fyrestrtr
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> RichEd: alt+F2, type xkill and hit enter -- when your cursor changes, left click once on the offending window.

[09:51] <DanaG> Okay, for my framebuffer, I need 720x450, 1024x640, 1152x720, 1280x800, or 1440x900.
[09:51] <CheetahMk2> heh... bug ith the Ubuntu Cd... if you change the system time forward, the screensaver kicks in!
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> johnny_: click view > side panel
[09:51] <tj_> but once in the wine directory, for some reason .exe's dont open with wine by default
[09:51] <DanaG> Also, I can't get surround sound working in xine.
[09:51] <MatthewV> RichEd, i have added a applet to the panel that kills other apps, rightclick on panel, and choose add to panel, and choose Kill Application... it does the same thing as xkill :)

[09:52] <blade2> I'm trying to set up a wireless card with the adm8211 driver. I tried setting the ESSID with iwconfig, then doing ifup eth0. The light blinks on my card, and I see DHCPDISCOVER several times but no connection. So I'm trying to manually set the access point with iwconfig eth0 ap XX:XX:etc. But the AP listed by iwconfig stays at 00:00:00:00:00:00. Even iwconfig eth0 ap off/auto doesn't change it.
[09:52] <CheetahMk2> I am not 100% sure though.... all I know it is the chkdsk equivalent in Linux
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: I think for those resolutions, you need to compile vesafb-tng for your kernel.
[09:52] <jes> I need basic help like configuring network and desctop resolutions, which of those webpages in the topic should i go to?
[09:52] <twa1296> how do i check whether module dependencies are in order?
[09:53] <snoops> oh umm how about something I can check while the hdd is mounted CheetahMk2?
[09:53] <CheetahMk2> Here is the manual page: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/fsck.8.html
[09:53] <DanaG> Even with TNG, I still don't get those resolutions.
[09:53] <IRCMonkeyX> fyrestrtr: thanx let me try to do it...
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: open up synaptic, see if it reports any broken packages ... that's one way.
[09:53] <twa1296> tks
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: sorry, I don't have much experience with widescreen resolutions and fb console :(
[09:54] <RichEd> fyrestrtr: thanks sorted ...
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: its possible though, I've seen it before when I was googling around.
[09:55] <CheetahMk2> snoops: no clue about anything further from me unfortunately : (
[09:55] <jes> I need basic help like configuring network and desctop resolutions, which of those webpages in the topic should i go to?
[09:55] <MistaED> hey with modprobing stuff, what happens when you have two different cards which use the same chipset? i have two bt878-based tv tuner cards in my machine (one dvb digital card, one analog card), and the digital one detects perfectly the card & tuner but the analog cannot be detected unless you force options to it
[09:55] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, thing is, i'm getting an error whilst booting, "preparing restricted drivers" fails and my bootlog shows the following:* Preparing restricted drivers...       ^[[128G mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile': Read-only file system - this after installing and then removing some dri modules - any ideas?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> snoops: to scan the disk, the filesystem must be mounted in read-only mode. You can do that if the filesystem is not currently in use (ie, its not holding something like /home / etc). If not, use tune2fs to schedule a scan at the next bootup (man tune2fs)
[09:56] <MistaED> in my case, when i force options to the bttv module, it assigns it to the digital card (bttv0) and locks up the kernel, how do i just pass the options to bttv1 only?
[09:56] <Brkopac> I seem to be having a problem using a variable, I'm trying to do a 'cp -r $windows_path' but its not copying the entire string in there, its cutting it at a space
[09:56] <CheetahMk2> jes: I had to fix my display with manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the 'Display Manager' thing wouldn't let me change it
[09:56] <MatthewV> jes, have a talk to ubotu , he's got plenty of links.... otherwise just ask question in here
[09:57] <jes> i will.
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> !xconf
[09:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about xconf - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> !xconfig
[09:57] <ubotu> xconfig is To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:57] <CheetahMk2> ^^ That worked too
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: sorry, no clue about that.
[09:57] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, rgr
[09:58] <mvrick> what info is there in xorg.conf file
[09:58] <mvrick> ?
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> twa1296: for a quick fix, you can blacklist the offending module.
[09:58] <bruenig> all things concerned with x
[09:58] <CheetahMk2> Resolution for monitor, refresh rates, color depth, etc
[09:58] <MatthewV> mvrick, alll configuration options for the graphical server
[09:58] <CheetahMk2> Keyboard settings (?), all that muck
[09:58] <bruenig> mouse
[09:59] <mvrick> i am new to linux.. what is a graphical server plz?
[10:00] <CheetahMk2> mvrick: "X" is basically a intermediary between applications and the screen
[10:00] <mvrick> u mean all the device related information brueing?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> xorg.conf contains the following: xserver settings, keyboard, other input device settings (mouse, tablet, etc.) display settings (video card), monitor, modules, fonts, screen layout, resolutions and color depths, multi-monitor setups. Basically, all the information to setup a graphical interface.
[10:00] <MatthewV> mvrick, sry, i should have been clearer, its the 'program' that handles all graphical output
[10:00] <CheetahMk2> it manages all the windows, and goes up to the driver hardware I think
[10:00] <watson540> mvrick:: umm, if you're new to linux, then you need to make google your friend
[10:00] <|thunder> x-server
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> mvrick: in Linux, the graphical interface is controlled by a server, and all the programs are clients running on top of this server. That server is called the 'X Server' (what you call the graphical server).
[10:01] <watson540> this channel is for support questions, not obvious ones such as 'how do i wipe my butt' or 'how do i turn my computer oiin'
[10:01] <twa1296> fyrestrtr, how do i do that? in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common?
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> !blacklist
[10:01] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:02] <twa1296> fyrestarter, thanks
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> you know, it used to be that the run command applet showed a text box, not an icon. Is there a way to get that behavior back?
[10:03] <|thunder> fyrestrtr, try alt-F2
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> yeah I know about that, but that's not what I'm after :)

[10:08] <fyrestrtr> trippen: double click on a torrent file
[10:09] <trippen> fyrestrtr:  can i just open the torrent file from its location instead ?
[10:10] <twa1296> !blacklist
[10:10] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:10] <ompaul> trippen, you can but if you loose power or some such you have to find it again
[10:10] <ompaul> !msgthebot > twa1296
[10:10] <trippen> it doesnt have an auto resume like windows torrent programs do
[10:10] <twa1296> rgr
[10:10] <ompaul> trippen, if you don't save it you have to find it again to get going again that is all
[10:10] <penitibiru> hwehehe...knalan dong...
[10:11] <ompaul> penitibiru, please speak english in this channel thanks
[10:11] <trippen> is there a torrent program for linux that works like the ones for windows
[10:11] <bruenig> trippen, if you want an autoresume torrent program, Azureus will do
[10:11] <ompaul> trippen, it does, you are not reading what I am saying
[10:11] <bruenig> Azureus also runs on java and is a resource hog
[10:12] <bruenig> trippen, I personally use utorrent under wine
[10:12] <ompaul> trippen, if you do not save the torrent file - if it fails you have to find it again - that is all
[10:12] <trippen> really.. that sounds like a winner to me.. i love utorrent
[10:12] <trippen> can i get wine from the synaptic package thing
[10:12] <twa1296> i installed dri modules, then removed them again, since then i have the following error message in my bootlog:  * Preparing restricted drivers...       ^[[128G mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile': Read-only file system - any ideas?

[10:13] <trippen> sweet thank you.. this channle has been very helpful to me thank you all
[10:14] <elias> how to move a window I cannot see since it is off screen?
[10:15] <bruenig> elias, you could right click it on the task bar and hit move and then just move your mouse where you want it to go
[10:15] <bruenig> or I mean windows selector, not to be confused with task bar
[10:15] <bruenig> which doesn't exist
[10:16] <elias> my mplayer windows are placed out ot screen. does anybody know a reason for that? (xgl?)
[10:16] <watson540> bruenig:: funny. i tried utorrent under wine, and thee dang app kept telling me my ports were blockd! ...and they weren't.
[10:17] <ADminS> how i can check sawp size?
[10:17] <bruenig> watson540, mine sometimes has problems connected to dht, but a restart fixes that
[10:17] <therix> hello, could someone help me with setting up mac address?
[10:17] <highvoltage> mac addresses isn't something you should really change
[10:17] <therix> I'm trying to edit /etc/iftab but it doesnt work
[10:18] <therix> well I dont have other choice
[10:18] <bruenig> watson540, every once in a while when I do restart my computer, it will tell me my port is blocked, all you have to do is go into the options>speed guide menu and change the port and then check it to see it if it open and then click use selected settings. That is usually a once in a month chore
[10:18] <ADminS> !sawp
[10:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about sawp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:18] <elias> the window is so off screen it does not even show in the task bar!
[10:18] <watson540> well, it was a private tracker i was using, so ii dunno, i just know i tried the same torrent using rtorrent and it worked fine, anyways, rtorrent may be fugly (needs to be pretty like htop :)) but it can be run in screen and that, my friend is worth a thousand azureus' :
[10:18] <bruenig> elias, perhaps the window doesn't exist
[10:19] <elias> bruenig: it does I can get to it via shift+alt+tab and when I resize the video.
[10:19] <elias> and I can fullscreen the vid.
[10:19] <therix> i want to change the mac addr on another pc, because my inet provider identifies it via mac address
[10:19] <bruenig> elias, well it might be on another workspace?
[10:20] <bruenig> xgl is still unstable, I would chalk it up to that
[10:20] <watson540> therix:: huh? i thought the dsl/cable modem was the one with the MAC addy, and i know you cant change those.
[10:20] <CheetahMk2> !aiglx > CheetahMk2
[10:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about aiglx  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:20] <elias> bruenig: how can I make mplayer place it on my workspace?
[10:20] <DBO> CheetahMk2, Xgl and AIGLX are handled in #ubuntu-xgl
[10:21] <CheetahMk2> I didn't know there was a dedicated channel, thanks.
[10:21] <jpjacobs> therix if I'm not mistaken there is a program macchanger... dunno if that does the trick
[10:21] <watson540> I dunno about all thse problems people have with xgl, i followed the ubuntu howto like...months ago and i never have problems with it, install was seamless, and every u[pgrade so far has nopt broken my xgl :)
[10:21] <bruenig> elias, just go to the system monitor and kill the process and start it over
[10:21] <avis> same experience here watson540
[10:22] <Sp4rKy> hey
[10:22] <Sp4rKy> does anyone use speedtouch 330 USB with AOL over ubuntu  please ?
[10:22] <avis> my downfall was not going by the guide in the past and using reading the thread on ubuntuforums.org i tried once more with the official guide and its been smooth sailing.
[10:23] <watson540> avis:: yeah, i think its when thse people go jacking around with their settings is when they mess them up, either through gset-compiz or that newer setup tool that depracated gset (forget the name but its on my box)
[10:23] <bruenig> Sp4rKy, aol.... why would you do that to yourself
[10:24] <watson540> i know whenever i mess with settings i do one thing at a time so i know what to chamnge back when artifaxcts start appearing or other stuff messes up
[10:24] <Sp4rKy> bruenig: it's not for myself :|
[10:27] <nikin> good morning

[11:08] <chris1112> it must have improved since i used it though
[11:08] <arag0rn> [flanque] , try passing -vga=<some-num> to the kernel at bootup
[11:08] <nalpha> so?
[11:09] <arag0rn> i use <some-num> as 319
[11:09] <[flanque] > hrm, in run-time?
[11:09] <arag0rn> yeah while boot up
[11:09] <chris1112> yes, but not the way i wanted to use it
[11:09] <[flanque] > no, can it be changed after login?
[11:09] <miguelsr> hey some one?
[11:09] <arag0rn> sorry dont know any of doing that
[11:10] <fl4kk3r> flanque: does it have to be done from the terminal?

[11:10] <Shinzetsu> is there some thing like system restore?  Does anyone know if there's updated gnome evolution packages fresher than 2.6.1 which comes with dapper?
[11:11] <[flanque] > mneptok, well it just installed ubuntu lamp, now the display is "longer" than the actual screen, as in its the wrong resolution. this happened during install but got around it by changing to 800x600x32 mode
[11:11] <[flanque] > there was a vga option during install
[11:12] <[flanque] > F4
[11:12] <mneptok> [flanque] : can you change monitor geometry to compensate?
[11:12] <DanaG> Oh, if I want to remove the current ALSA and add a new one, what can I do?
[11:12] <[flanque] > no
[11:12] <[flanque] > its beyond the monitor display range
[11:13] <mneptok> it's our way of telling you to run servers headless :)
[11:13] <miguelsr> some help!!
[11:13] <mneptok> [flanque] : i assume xorg is not installed?
[11:13] <jingcleovil> Hi, I am new in ubuntu. Is there an installation instruction which has an image? BTW, I use Ubuntu 6 LTS
[11:14] <[flanque] > well the default install didnt do it
[11:14] <mneptok> [flanque] : yeah, you don't want X on a server. pointless.
[11:14] <DanaG> anyone? ...
[11:14] <[flanque] > yep
[11:14] <[flanque] > its been 18 mnths since i've done linux in my job, never come across this either in the 2+ years i was too.
[11:14] <frogzoo> !helpme
[11:14] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:15] <DanaG> Is that addressed at me?  I did ask my question.
[11:15] <[flanque] > ideas mneptok?
[11:15] <frogzoo> !installation
[11:15] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[11:15] <nalpha> anyone?
[11:15] <[flanque] > how to change console res?
[11:15] <DanaG> I want to remove the current ALSA version and replace it with a new one from alsa-project.org.
[11:15] <fyrestrtr> anyone what?
[11:15] <DanaG> Is there anything special I have to do>
[11:15] <DanaG> ?
[11:16] <nalpha> nothing just test the ubotu ^^
[11:16] <mneptok> [flanque] : [flanque]  tried appending vga=normal to the boot?
[11:16] <[flanque] > let me try
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> DanaG: remove alsa-base, alsa-utils -- and then install the one you want.
[11:16] <[flanque] > i think that was the problem tho.. had to change from "normal" to "800x600x32"
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : that is not a valid mode number
[11:16] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : change it to vga=ask
[11:16] <highvoltage> DanaG: just out of personal interest, what is the problem you have with current alsa?
[11:17] <[flanque] > not litterally that in quotes
[11:17] <DanaG> Then how do I prevent Synaptic (or Apt) from removing dependencies?
[11:17] <miguelsr> how do i do to burn a avi movie to a cd an see on the dvd player?
[11:17] <DanaG> I can't get multichannel audio from my Audigy 2 ZS Notebook.
[11:17] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: use k3b
[11:17] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: yes but i put data cd and add the movie??
[11:18] <[flanque] > hmm
[11:18] <[flanque] > seems better so far
[11:18] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: put a blank cd, then start k3b, then start a new video dvd project.
[11:18] <fyrestrtr> *blank dvd
[11:18] <mneptok> [flanque] : this is why they pay me the *big* bucks! *snort* ;)
[11:18] <[flanque] > :p
[11:19] <DanaG> http://www.alsa-project.org/changes/v1-0-10--v1-0-11.txt
[11:20] <rixt1> There was a power outage (for a few seconds) now Ubuntu will not boot. It gets to the "Uncompressing Linux" stage, then locks up. I am currently logged into the live CD on the computer. waht can I do?
[11:20] <DanaG> search the page for notebook
[11:20] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: mmm i only have new data dvd proyect!
[11:20] <miguelsr> !k3
[11:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about k3 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:20] <miguelsr> !k3b
[11:20] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/K3BHowto
[11:20] <[flanque] > yeah vga=0 did it
[11:20] <[flanque] > 80x25
[11:20] <[flanque] > was soemthing else i guess
[11:20] <DanaG> Okay, when should Ubuntu include ALSA 1.0.11?
[11:21] <DanaG> !alsa
[11:21] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[11:21] <mneptok> [flanque] : my PayPal address is ... ;)
[11:21] <[flanque] > hmm
[11:22] <[flanque] > so there's no root level access?
[11:22] <mneptok> of course there is
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo
[11:22] <[flanque] > no
[11:22] <miguelsr> fyrestrtr: how do i do to update my k3b??
[11:22] <[flanque] > su -
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo su
[11:22] <miguelsr> i dont have kde
[11:22] <[flanque] > sudo /bin/bash    not good enough?
[11:22] <mneptok> sudo su
[11:22] <mneptok> ;)
[11:23] <Brkopac> Whats the command to bring up the list of repositories for apt?
[11:23] <rixt1> What are the first things to try when fixing a boot error? It simply hangs on the screen "Uncompressing linux", right after grub but before the graphical boot splash
[11:23] <[flanque] > what file are the kernel boot params in? /etc/ ?
[11:23] <Mandalf> sudo rm -rf /
[11:23] <miguelsr> how do i do to update my k3b?
[11:23] <rixt1> Mandalf: go away.
[11:23] <DanaG> I just have two showstopper issues for me switching to Ubuntu as primary:
[11:23] <rixt1> Brkopac: I hope you know better than to listen to Mandalf
[11:24] <Brkopac> heh ya
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> miguelsr: you don't need to update anything. File, New Project -- pick it from there.
[11:24] <DanaG> Speedstep-Centrino doesn't work on Yonah, and multichannel audio doesn't work on my SB A2 ZS Notebook.
[11:24] <Mandalf> rixt1: I have used it. A guy in a community told me to test it
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> [flanque] : /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:24] <DanaG> For one, I just need to update ALSA.
[11:24] <rixt1> Mandalf: so you try and get others back for what he did to you?
[11:25] <DanaG> For the other, I need to update to a kernel that's still in the future (marked as to-do in current changelogs; I haven't bothered compiling)
[11:25] <DanaG> !apt
[11:25] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:28] <DanaG> argh.
[11:28] <joyseeker> hi there
[11:28] <DanaG> !channels
[11:28] <ubotu> A list of Freenode channels is available via http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist
[11:29] <[flanque] > righto
[11:29] <[flanque] > up and running
[11:30] <[flanque] > new to apache2, so this'll be fun

[11:30] <penitibiru> Hai?
[11:30] <Brkopac> where is the X conf located?

[11:31] <Brkopac> ah thanks

[11:31] <Brkopac> heh, thanks
[11:33] <Supox> Hi, has anyone got radeon 9600 pro working with the latest ubuntu and openGL
[11:34] <Supox> I have direct rendering working, but for example glxgear won't run smoothly
[11:35] <yoni> Hi again :)
[11:35] <Supox> it runs for a few seconds, then a short pause and it continues
[11:35] <Supox> so basically it freezes for a moment every few seconds
[11:36] <MatthewV> Supox, if all your games run, that's no problem is it?
[11:36] <Supox> The same problem is with games
[11:36] <MatthewV> Supox, :(
[11:36] <dv_> jello
[11:36] <dv_> hello
[11:37] <Supox> yeah i know
[11:37] <dv_> ubuntu wants to remove TONS of packages just because I want to install FAM
[11:37] <dv_> this does not make any sense
[11:37] <KenSentMe> !info FAM
[11:37] <ubotu> Package FAM does not exist in dapper
[11:37] <Brkopac> Heh, like Grub, when you boot it has the different options you can select, can you modify what they say?
[11:37] <MatthewV> !info fam
[11:37] <ubotu> fam: File Alteration Monitor. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-8ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 65 kB, installed size 256 kB
[11:38] <KenSentMe> MatthewV: thanks
[11:38] <Hoxzer> Package = lol
[11:38] <MatthewV> KenSentMe, no probs, just case-sensitivity :)
[11:38] <Hoxzer> nwm
[11:38] <dv_> does not explain why it wants to uninstall half of the entire ubuntu packages on my machine
[11:38] <KenSentMe> Brkopac: the grub menu is generated automaticly, so no you can't change what they say, but you can alter how many Kernel versions you wish to show
[11:39] <MatthewV> dv_, which additional packages does it want to install?
[11:39] <chemaja> wtf... blam 1.8.2 wont refresh my Planet GNOME feed -- even when I paste in the working URL from Liferea
[11:39] <void^> !info gamin
[11:39] <ubotu> gamin: File and directory monitoring system. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1.7-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 59 kB, installed size 184 kB
[11:39] <dv_> language-selector language-selector-common
[11:39] <void^> you can't have both gamin and fam
[11:40] <chemaja> calling all blam users: does your Planet GNOME feed work?
[11:40] <Flannel> Brkopac: yes, you can change what they say
[11:40] <dv_> whats gamin?
[11:40] <dv_> gnomes fam-version?
[11:40] <MatthewV> dv_, see above :)
[11:41] <dv_> ah yes
[11:41] <dv_> missed it
[11:42] <KenSentMe> chemaja: i just installed blam and the Planet Gnome feed keeps empty
[11:43] <KenSentMe> chemaja: maybe it's a problem on their side
[11:43] <chemaja> KenSentMe, what about in Liferea?
[11:43] <chemaja> KenSentMe, ps. thanks
[11:44] <Snake007uk> hey guys, how can i change the keyabord layout form command line ?
[11:45] <MatthewV> Snake007uk, its an option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:45] <Snake007uk> this machine doesnt have X its only command line access
[11:45] <Snake007uk> I should mention that it is a debian box.. but i thought as debian and ubuntu are similar I could ask here ?
[11:45] <KenSentMe> chemaja: In Liferea it works, so that's strange indeed
[11:46] <Snake007uk> i know is redhat the value can be a changed in /etc/sysconfig
[11:46] <chemaja> KenSentMe, indeed -- an i'm not getting any stdout/stderr messages for the failure from blam
[11:46] <mneptok> Snake007uk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[11:46] <Snake007uk> mneptok: thanks

[11:53] <[b] urk> how can i find a good font to use in aterm?
[11:53] <Flannel> yoni: ubuntu should mount it automatically, You can read without dataloss.
[11:53] <Flannel> !ntfs
[11:53] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[11:54] <Flannel> that'll give you some info if it isnt already mounted

[12:03] <KenSentMe> lophyte: but it costs 30 bucks
[12:04] <no0tic> ipw3945 module doesn't work
[12:04] <lophyte> blah
[12:04] <mneptok> no0tic: works for me. out of the box. no tweaking.
[12:05] <lophyte> I guess I'll check freshmeat
[12:06] <Rod> hi
[12:07] <Rod> is there somewhere a compatibility list for wireless usb adapters? cant fnd it on the site or google
[12:07] <no0tic> mneptok, does it use ipw3945 module?
[12:07] <lophyte> damn, can't find it.
[12:07] <samu2> Why are the filenames (apachectl = apache2ctl, httpd.conf "=" apache2.conf) different from the ones mentioned in the apache manual?
[12:07] <Flannel> Rod: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:08] <Rod> tx Flannel .. the wiki... how could i forget
[12:08] <Flannel> samu2: because youve got apache2 installed
[12:09] <magical_trevsky> hi, does anyone know how I can move the system clock one hour forward from the terminal?
[12:09] <Flannel> samu2: and, ubuntu has changed some stuff around, made it easier for apt to deal with confuration and stuff. (er, actually, I think it was debian who started it, I really dont know)
[12:09] <KenSentMe> lophyte: on the webpage there was a trial version, maybe it works good enough
[12:09] <redrum> how do i use ip tables to block an ip address from being able to use NAT or any forwarding over the ppp0 interface? when i issue the command "iptables -I INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP" it has no effect.. <IP_ADDRESS> merrily continues sending and receiving internet traffic
[12:09] <samu2> Apache HTTP Server version 2.2 != Apache2?
[12:09] <KenSentMe> magical_trevsky: type 'man date'
[12:10] <magical_trevsky> KenSentMe, thanks :>
[12:10] <Flannel> samu2: alright, see my second thing ;)  in ubuntu, config files are spread out a bit more.
[12:10] <mneptok> no0tic: yes, my ThinkPad has an Intel 3945ABG.
[12:10] <noiesmo> !firestarter > redrum
[12:11] <mneptok> no0tic: notice i said "no tweaking." did you try to get the card working in Dapper *before* you downloaded and installed things?
[12:11] <samu2> Flannel, ok but it is a bit annoying when you are reading the manual and you dont know what parts have been modified
[12:11] <Flannel> samu2: What are you trying to do?
[12:12] <samu2> Just RTFMing about apache
[12:13] <Flannel> samu2: heh, alright.  For most things ubuntu has ubuntu-specific documentation laying around the wiki.  And, things aren't that different.  BAsically apache2.conf includes the other stuff, so only in the source is it different
[12:13] <no0tic> mneptok, yes, now it works, but only with open networks
[12:13] <FurryNemesis> Hi all. Can anyone recommend an ubuntu-compatible external USB DVD writer?
[12:14] <no0tic> mneptok, without wep wpa encryption
[12:14] <afief> I am trying to compile Lyx, but it needs QT-devel, i can't find that package in the repository
[12:14] <mneptok> no0tic: install network-manager-gnome
[12:14] <Flannel> samu2: includes /sites-enabled/ and /mods-enabled/ in sites, are just virtual hosts, theres a deault one.  in mods- are .load and .conf files, load files load in different things, then their corresponding conf files add in the relevant configuration directives
[12:14] <lophyte> KenSentMe: the demo segfaults :P
[12:14] <mneptok> no0tic: getting WEP to work without the network manager app is fairly easy. WPA(2) less so.
[12:15] <frogzoo> redrum: that belongs in the FORWARD chain I guess
[12:16] <samu2> Flannel, yep I kind of figured out how it's set up with those conf files already. I was just wondering why it was different from the manual.
[12:16] <chedabob> hey
[12:16] <chedabob> i have a problem
[12:16] <Flannel> samu2: because it makes it easier for apt- that way, just adding removing files in /mods-available/
[12:16] <KenSentMe> afief: maybe you need libqt4-dev or something
[12:17] <afief> kensentme: i\
[12:17] <afief> kensentme: i'll certainly try that out
[12:17] <chedabob> are there known issues with Gaim and Dapper Drake? cos im using the preinstalled version of gaim, and my buddy list is displayed, but then Gaim just disappears, theres no icon on the taskbar
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> chedabob, not that I know of
[12:18] <KenSentMe> chedabob: it works fine here
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> chedabob, tried an uninstall/reinstall?
[12:18] <chedabob> i did an update for Dapper, and its only started since then. the version that comes with the install cd works fine
[12:19] <chedabob> furry: yeah, didnt help. i tried the autopackage version aswell, cos that wasnt a CVS version
[12:19] <FurryNemesis> ah
[12:19] <FurryNemesis> mm sorry, can't help.
[12:19] <chedabob> is there a way to "downgrade" to the version on the install cd?
[12:20] <frogzoo> chedabob: uninstall, install off the cd, with the net repos disabled - then pin it
[12:20] <mneptok> chedabob: have you tried moving ~/.gaim aside?
[12:20] <fl4kk3r> exit
[12:20] <chedabob> woah hold on, im a n00b towards linux :P
[12:21] <mneptok> chedabob: is GAIM running?
[12:21] <chedabob> nope
[12:21] <chedabob> it quits as soon as i open it
[12:21] <mneptok> chedabob: open a terminal and type "mv .gaim gaim-old"
[12:21] <mneptok> then try launching again
[12:22] <wthww> hello hello
[12:22] <chedabob> my buddy list displays, then it disappears, theres nothing on the taskbar. it seems that the current version doesnt like my system, cos i had Hoary on yesterday, and as soon as i upgraded, the same error occured
[12:22] <chedabob> Hi
[12:22] <chedabob> mneptok: i typed that, now what?
[12:22] <edgy> Hi, awstats in my ubuntu system lists all "Operating Systems" and "Browsers" as unknows though I have lots of visits, any hint what's wrong?
[12:22] <mneptok> chedabob: try launching GAIM
[12:23] <chedabob> mneptok: that seemed to work. its not shut yet
[12:24] <mneptok> chedabob: then the problem was something in your user settings for GAIM. do you log your IM sessions?
[12:25] <chedabob> ok next problem: my memory card reader isnt recognised at all, with or without a card in. it worked before, but then i formatted the memory card on another pc, and its stopped
[12:25] <mneptok> chedabob: did you format it as FAT32?
[12:25] <chedabob> yup
[12:25] <chedabob> but the memory card reader light doesnt come on, even without the card in, which it did just 5 minutes ago, before i plugged it into my windows pc
[12:25] <mneptok> i hate card readers.
[12:26] <mneptok> *hate*
[12:26] <chedabob> i need to use it, cos as far as i know, theres no version of activesync for linux
[12:26] <mneptok> activesync?
[12:26] <mneptok> wuzzat?
[12:26] <chedabob> its for windows mobile phones
[12:26] <mneptok> oh, that's why i don;t know it ;)
[12:27] <chedabob> damn, i need to get these pictures off my memory card
[12:27] <mneptok> sorry, i hate handling card readers for supported clients, so no way i'm doing it for free ;)
[12:27] <mneptok> <--- bastard
[12:28] <chedabob> it worked before though. i was messing with the partitions on the card, then i took it downstairs to format it on my windows pc cos i couldnt find a format command for linux :P
[12:28] <chedabob> now it doesnt even light up
[12:28] <mall0c> how do i change default/preferred applications for things other than browser, email & terminal?
[12:29] <mneptok> mall0c: right-click the file and choose an associated app
[12:29] <chedabob> ok, final question. i cant get mp3s to play in amarok. i click an mp3, the play button changes to pause, then it goes back to a play button. i fixed this last time by updating the Xine engine, but i cant find an update, ive got the latest version
[12:30] <mall0c> mneptok, yes, it doesnt seem to work. I would like videos to default to mplayer rather than totem, but even when i set them to open with mplayer, they still launch in totem
[12:31] <mall0c> mneptok, mneptok in fact i would rather not have totem at all, but apparently i cant remove it?
[12:34] <afief> When configuring lyx it says QT library not found although i have installed both QT3-dev and QT4-dev
[12:34] <lophyte> anyone know a command line program that'll go through a bunch of files and change the DOS carriage returns to UNIX?
[12:34] <chedabob> how do i get the Helix engine for Amarok? cos the xine engine just refuses to play mp3s for me
[12:34] <mall0c> lophyte, vim will do it
[12:35] <lophyte> mall0c: I have to do it to a whole bunch of files.. is there a way to automate it?
[12:35] <mall0c> lophyte, oh, hm...not that i know of
[12:36] <afief> How do i check if an environment variable is set?
[12:36] <void^> !info tofrodos
[12:36] <ubotu> tofrodos: Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos. In repository main, is optional. Version 1.7.6-1 (dapper), package size 16 kB, installed size 68 kB
[12:37] <lophyte> void^: thanks
[12:37] <Chetic> somebody slap me
[12:38] <mall0c> afief,  'echo $VARIABLE' should do it
[12:39] <afief> okay my variable is not set, how do i know where my QT directory is?
[12:39] <ocx> how can i run X from my ssh client? its saying user has no permissions...
[12:40] <letters_9> can I safely remove my windows boot HD, and repartition the ntfs one with gpedit (got dapper drake) then boot through bios
[12:40] <letters_9> and keep all my stuff ?
[12:40] <letters_9> on the repartioned one
[12:40] <Chetic> somebody slap me mIRC-style
[12:40] <mneptok> letters_9: you need to defrag NTFS before changing its partition size.
[12:40] <letters_9> yep done that
[12:41] <letters_9> im just a bit paranoid :)
[12:41] <ocx> anyone using bitchx?
[12:41] <mneptok> letters_9: most experienced people are.
[12:41] <letters_9> its not one big blue block but says it all defragged
[12:41] <yoni> Hello all, how can I restart the filesystem service?
[12:41] <letters_9> hmm well removed most of the stufff I want to keep
[12:41] <yoni> Is there a way to restart the FS service else of restart the box?
[12:41] <letters_9> the rest, meh
[12:42] <letters_9> oh well im going to do it
[12:42] <letters_9> cause im soo sick of windows nonsense
[12:42] <afief> how do i know where my QT directory is?
[12:43] <letters_9> i must have read every tutorial by now..
[12:43] <letters_9> so , hey
[12:43] <letters_9> that means I wont be able to use mirc anymore :(
[12:43] <letters_9> lol
[12:44] <letters_9> well ill work it out sppose
[12:44] <letters_9> keep me off the street for a bit :)
[12:44] <letters_9> cheers aye
[12:44] <letters_9> maybe ill just read that thing one more time, cause you just know the modem isnt going to #)$(*#$ work straight away
[12:45] <mneptok> letters_9: no one actually *wants* to use mIRC, do they?
[12:46] <gord> you can still use mirc anyway, though wine. http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?iVersionId=4649
[12:46] <letters_9> aww im sorta used to it,
[12:46] <letters_9> lol of course
[12:47] <letters_9> erm, so wonder if windows will still see the repartioned HD has D:
[12:47] <mneptok> letters_9: when you became a teenager did you say, "i'll stay celibate, because ... you know ... i'm 'sorta used to it'?"
[12:47] <mneptok> i mean, if we all stuck with what we're used to, the human race would not survive.
[12:47] <letters_9> hey who says I was a teenager :)
[12:48] <letters_9> did have linux as a NAT system a while back
[12:49] <letters_9> anyway yeah, its about time I pulled the plug
[12:49] <letters_9> ive never had an issue with repartitioning,
[12:49] <mneptok> famous last words ...
[12:49] <letters_9> so you can read and even write ntfs drivers from linux now ?
[12:49] <letters_9> rofl
[12:49] <letters_9> there is a god that does hubris
[12:50] <letters_9> I really should remember its name :)
[12:50] <mneptok> yeah, but he's always busy looking in the mirror
[12:50] <Brkopac> what player can play wmv files?
[12:50] <mneptok> Brkopac: MPlayer
[12:50] <Brkopac> thanks
[12:50] <artista1> hola
[12:50] <artista1> alguna chica espaola
[12:51] <IAskew> !es > artista1
[12:51] <artista1> hola
[12:51] <artista1> que tal ester de donde eres
[12:51] <letters_9> hi, im installing ubuntu :)
[12:53] <ishorseman> good morning -- does ubuntu have support for the intel 945 chipset
[12:53] <mneptok> ishorseman: the Intel video chipsets are a thing of horror, sadly.
[12:54] <mneptok> ishorseman: there are some patches floating about. i think i may have one. sec.
[12:54] <Brkopac> can i get mplayer through apt?
[12:54] <Brkopac> it says its refered to by another package
[12:54] <ishorseman> mneptok what works best. I am making a new box
[12:54] <void^> !info mplayer
[12:54] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In repository multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[12:55] <ADminS> !sources.list
[12:55] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:56] <mneptok> ishorseman: nVidia has always been solid for me. if you don't mind binary drivers.
[12:56] <mneptok> ishorseman: stay away from PCI-E
[12:56] <Brkopac> when i try a apt-get install mplayer
[12:57] <artista1> hola
[12:57] <artista1> alguien por ahi
[12:57] <artista1> que me pueda decir algo
[12:57] <Brkopac> it says you mplayer has no installation candidate
[12:57] <artista1> para saber si esto funciona
[12:58] <mneptok> Brkopac: try "sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer"
[12:58] <ishorseman> mneptok thanks I will look at nVida. have to go the sun is up and there are horses to feed
[12:59] <mneptok> ishorseman: sun just came up here, too. my shift is almost over.
[12:59] <ishorseman> mnpiok have a reallly good rest if the day
[01:00] <Brkopac> couldn't find package
[01:00] <mneptok> Brkopac: do you have Universe enabled?
[01:00] <Brkopac> yup
[01:00] <mneptok> you sure about that?
[01:00] <Brkopac> let me double check
[01:00] <DanaG> !ntfs
[01:00] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:01] <DanaG> What's wrong with PCIe?
[01:01] <Nuks> in a typical windows installation after you install the OS then you still need to install some drivers before you can actually use your machine. does ubuntu fall in the same way as windows? tnx!
[01:01] <Brkopac> i have all the binaries checked up
[01:01] <Brkopac> off(
[01:03] <mneptok> Brkopac: is GNOME installed?
[01:03] <Brkopac> ye
[01:03] <Brkopac> s
[01:04] <mneptok> Brkopac: so use Synaptic to search for and install mozilla-mplayer
[01:05] <Brkopac> okay
[01:05] <franko> Hi everybody
[01:05] <mneptok> ok, i'm a dot.
[01:05] <mneptok> g'night users
[01:07] <KenSentMe> Nuks: Sometimes, but most things work out of the box
[01:07] <Nuks> ok...tnx
[01:12] <yoni> What is your preefered Mp3 player?
[01:12] <franko> mpg123 :)
[01:12] <yoni> !grubdualboot
[01:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about grubdualboot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:12] <nalpha> what's the best download manager for ubuntu????
[01:13] <yoni> wget :)
[01:13] <nalpha> else??? with gui?
[01:13] <franko> does anybody here is chatting with dapper and a core duo laptop?
[01:13] <yoni> :|
[01:14] <mcphail> How can I prevent my browser loading ads/images from a specific IP address (<IP_ADDRESS>)? Does this require an iptables rule?
[01:14] <RvGaTe> mcphail, what browser?
[01:14] <mcphail> RvGaTe: using firefox, but want to block for any browser
[01:14] <yoni> How can I do that grub will be able to load windows xp from ntfs?
[01:15] <mrcoyote> yep
[01:15] <franko> @yoni:  title           Microsoft Windows XP Professional
[01:15] <franko> root            (hd0,0)
[01:15] <franko> savedefault
[01:15] <franko> makeactive
[01:15] <franko> chainloader     +1
[01:15] <KenSentMe> !ntfs
[01:15] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:15] <yoni> it telling me that the file system isn't known
[01:16] <franko> Me works...I have ntfs
[01:16] <franko> the chainloader passes the control to the partition
[01:16] <franko> this entry is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:17] <ADminS> i can't axx sound with user but with root i can access it
[01:17] <ADminS> so how i set user to axx it?
[01:17] <RvGaTe> mcphail, there is a way to make sure images are only displayed when they are at the same server as the website itself... but thats FF only i think... look into your options, its off by default
[01:18] <yoni> , Can I pm please?
[01:18] <IRCMonkeyX> !yelp
[01:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about yelp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
, Can I pm please?
[01:19] <mcphail> RvGaTe: yes, but I'm sure there is a "system-wide" way to block this. Unfortunately, as it is a proper IP address I can't just add it to the hosts file...
[01:19] <IRCMonkeyX> when i write "yelp" in terminal, it says command not found, why ?
[01:19] <franko> @mcphail you can add an iptables entry with a content filtering on images from a known ip
[01:20] <yoni> how can I know if my right HD is located @ (hd1,0)?
[01:20] <RvGaTe> mcphail, well, its not possible with iptables, thats only for ipadres:port blocking...
[01:20] <franko> hd1,o meand primary slave partition 1
[01:21] <yoni> so I set currectlly the hard drive :)
[01:21] <ADminS> yoni, u can check by : df -H
[01:21] <ADminS> its show u spaces plus /dev/hd*
[01:21] <kbrosnan> mcphail, a hosts file would work
[01:21] <ADminS> hda = (hd1,0)
[01:21] <mcphail> Hmm. I find iptables rather impenetrable
[01:21] <franko> @RvGaTe I think instead you can
[01:21] <mcphail> kbrosnan: how would a hosts file work? This is to block a numerical address
[01:22] <yoni> so hdb1 = hd2,0?
[01:22] <franko> i try to attach a sample using the packet content filter (patch-o-matic)
[01:22] <RvGaTe> franko, iptables is only for port and ip blocking... not for an fileextension...
[01:22] <franko> hdb1 is hd1,1
[01:22] <franko> whops... hd1,0
[01:23] <kbrosnan> mcphail, oh nm then, I thought you were asking in general
[01:23] <franko> @RvGate... believe me..you can inspect any packet of a stream and if it contains i.e. an header of a a gif image you can drop the connection
[01:23] <Brkopac> are there any unoffical .deb files for mplayer?
 hda = (hd1,0) vs. <franko> hdb1 is hd1,0.. something seems broken :\
[01:23] <RvGaTe> franko, but not with iptables... maybe with a different app
[01:24] <franko> iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -p tcp -s <IP_ADDRESS>/0 -m string --string "cmd.exe"
[01:24] <mcphail> RvGaTe: I'd be happy to drop _everything_ originating from that ip address
[01:24] <franko> this a sample that drops connection whenever you downolad the cmd.exe app
[01:25] <RvGaTe> mcphail, then iptables is your friend...
[01:25] <yoni> well I'll play alittle bit with rebooting, I'll check this method, BRB.
[01:25] <J_P> hi all
[01:25] <diesen> can someone tell me how I connect 2 ubuntu PCs with a crossover cabel?
[01:26] <mcphail> RvGaTe: I must say, I have never found the manpage very friendly!
[01:26] <diesen> pleaseee!
[01:26] <mcphail> franko: is that the syntax I would require to drop all packets from the specified IP address?
[01:27] <KenSentMe> diesen: install openssh on one system, go to Places>Connect to server, select SSH and type in the ip address
[01:27] <franko> @mcphail nope...this was a sample to drop form any ip the connection whenever on the page it is present cmd.exe
[01:27] <KenSentMe> diesen: or just ssh, i forgot
[01:28] <franko> otherwise a simple iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s block_ip -j DROP
[01:28] <diesen> KenSentMe: ssh is already installed, but i cannot see the another PC in the network places
[01:28] <mcphail> franko: thank you very much indeed :)
[01:29] <franko> @mcphail: but the strenght of the string filtering is great...consider it too...
[01:29] <KenSentMe> diesen: can you go to Places and then Connect to server?
[01:29] <RvGaTe> mcphail, took some time, but here it is: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Security/IPtables_Basics.html
[01:29] <yoni> franko, the error I'm getting is filesystem isnt known, partition 0x7 :|
[01:29] <yoni> & everything is set OK
[01:29] <mcphail> RvGaTe: thanks
[01:30] <franko> yony :( that's bad...
[01:30] <Luna-Tick> whois frogzoo
[01:30] <Luna-Tick> *blush*
[01:30] <franko> yoni are you using dapper?
[01:30] <yoni> yep
[01:30] <yoni> grub0.97
[01:30] <yoni> -ubuntu9
[01:30] <franko> strange...I have the same... with NTFS and windows il loaded
[01:31] <franko> do you confirm your entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:31] <diesen> KenSentMe  yes, but its too complicated for such simple task, if i dont know the IP of the another PC. Is it possible to make it over Network Places?
[01:31] <mcphail> franko: Thanks again: works perfectly
[01:31] <yoni> yes
[01:31] <franko> mcphail... you will lose the entry on reboot
[01:32] <yoni> Windows is on secondary hd drive c
[01:32] <franko> you maybe need a iptables-save as root
[01:32] <mcphail> franko: i'll sort it out.
[01:32] <franko> yoni windows in on hdc1?
[01:32] <yoni> hdb1
[01:32] <nalpha> what folder that firefox put cache

[01:33] <ADminS> how i can configure sound car under linux
[01:33] <franko> yoni so it must be (hd1,0)...i also have grub 0.97
[01:33] <ADminS> lol@ under linux
[01:34] <diesen> KenSentMe: Thanx for your help! :)
[01:34] <franko> ** does anybody here is chatting with dapper and a core duo laptop?
[01:34] <yoni> Maybe windows should only woprk under h0,0?
[01:34] <yoni> *hd0,0
[01:34] <ADminS> soundcard *
[01:34] <franko> yoni the best think is to install a working windows xp copy, and THEN ubuntu
[01:35] <franko> it will do it himself
[01:35] <yoni> hmmmm ubuntu will detect windows & will install itself on the other hd?
[01:36] <franko> yoni. nope. You install windows, leaving an empty partitio. Than linux on this empty partition and grub bill let you chose win/linux
[01:36] <franko> sorry..you have separate hd
[01:37] <franko> in this case I didn't experienced
[01:37] <yoni> kk, then I'm out to test some stuff.. :)
[01:37] <franko> i guess if ubuntu is installed after it should work anyway
[01:37] <yoni> bye, will be back in weekend :)
[01:37] <franko> ciao
[01:37] <yoni> I'll do some tests on the linux hd & on my tet's hd :)
[01:38] <yoni> thanks for tryin' to help :)
[01:39] <Dalik> I want to compile programs from source but I want to put in my own optimization variables, where is this file at?
[01:40] <fyrestrtr> this is not gentoo :) you'll need to manually export the vars before the compile.
[01:40] <dapet> MatthewV: where you the metheiv that will help me?
[01:41] <Dalik> hmmm do you have an example?
[01:41] <Dalik> or a page were I can look at one anyway?
[01:41] <Dalik> or keyword, as I have been searching and not really finding anything
[01:42] <nalpha> kbrosnan sry... can you write it again but more complite..??
[01:43] <Brkopac> when it says run the command "make" to compile
[01:43] <Brkopac> how do i do that?
[01:43] <longwave> Brkopac: just type "make"
[01:43] <Brkopac> command not found
[01:43] <longwave> if you don't have it installed, install the "build-essential" package
[01:43] <Dalik> Brkopac, go into the directory where you untar the source
[01:44] <Dalik> do a "./configure"
[01:44] <Dalik> once thats done do a "make"
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, what is the use of console ?
[01:44] <Dalik> then "make install"
[01:44] <Dalik> get the build packages first as noted above
[01:44] <longwave> Dalik: about optimisation when compiling from source: you can pass extra flags to ./configure
[01:44] <Brkopac> ah i don't have the build-essentials loaded
[01:44] <IRCMonkeyX> why are there 6-7 consoles ?
[01:44] <longwave> Dalik: see http://www.la.utexas.edu/lab/software/devtool/gnu/autoconf/Compilers_and_Options.html
[01:45] <Dalik> longwave, thanks mate
[01:45] <flipcode> is there a simple ftp server recommended for ubuntu?
[01:45] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: why not...
[01:45] <IRCMonkeyX> oskude: when do we need to use consoles ?
[01:45] <dapet> Anyone have experience with installing netgear WG111v2?
[01:45] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: when ever you want
[01:45] <longwave> IRCMonkeyX: when X is not working? the standard in linux for a long time has been 6 consoles then X on the 7th console
[01:46] <IRCMonkeyX> longwave: so that, can we repair something by using consoles ?
[01:46] <longwave> flipcode: there are many ftp servers to choose from, wu-ftpd and proftpd are probably worth looking at
[01:46] <avalost> anyone have any idea why evolution hangs after downloading 2 messages?
[01:46] <Dalik> IRCMonkeyX, so if you mess up Alt+7 really bad, then switch and try again :)
[01:46] <flipcode> console based
[01:47] <avalost> i have to cancel and send recieve all until i can get all messages
[01:47] <longwave> IRCMonkeyX: yes, exactly
[01:47] <IRCMonkeyX> thanx people
[01:47] <ubuntu> hello
[01:48] <flipcode> so given ubuntu is debian based, whats the "standard" software installation routine?
[01:48] <flipcode> redhat = rpm
[01:48] <flipcode> ubuntu = ?
[01:48] <oskude> flipcode: deb
[01:48] <Dalik> I have noticed an issue that happens at an uncommon rate, say I open a program and if I move the mouse over a button and click nothing happens I have to move the mouse away from the focus of that button then move the mouse back over the button before its high lighted and clickable, its only with gnome.  Is that a known "feature"?
[01:49] <longwave> flipcode: "deb" is the packaging format, "dpkg" is the basic tool comparable to "rpm", but apt-get, aptitude or synaptic are what most people use for package management
[01:49] <flipcode> hmm.. can you install rpms on ubuntu?
[01:49] <oskude> flipcode: sure, but wouldnt recommend
[01:50] <longwave> flipcode: "alien" will convert rpms to debs but it is not usually a good idea
[01:50] <flipcode> proftpd on at least this mirror is an RPM
[01:50] <flipcode> ;_;
[01:50] <ompaul> flipcode, ohh ask how do you install proftpd and we can tell you :-)
[01:50] <ompaul> !info proftpd
[01:50] <ubotu> proftpd: Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.2.10-27ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 351 kB, installed size 1052 kB
[01:50] <Dalik> RPM from my understanding is just a directory structure of folders and files(like a zip file) same for a deb.  Most of the time it will work but like longwave says results will vary.
[01:51] <jatt> Dalik: I've experienced similar behaviour (it is very rare) with gnome-applications. I suspect it must be a gtk+ bug.
[01:51] <longwave> flipcode: enable the universe repository then "sudo apt-get install proftpd" will install it for you
[01:51] <longwave> !repository
[01:51] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:51] <Flannel> RPMs will work, but you destroy a good deal of the benefits you get by using package management.
[01:51] <nalpha> any body can help where i can find cache folder firefox????
[01:51] <longwave> Dalik: rpms do have dependencies but i tend to find more problems with rpm packages than deb ones
[01:52] <Dalik> Your best best is to download the source and compile it but use checkinstall which will create a deb file.  Then you can install and uninstall via apt tools
[01:52] <ompaul> flipcode, add the universe repo (and multiverse) and then pop it
[01:52] <flipcode> im on a console only
[01:52] <Dalik> aye I hate RPM's
[01:52] <ompaul> Dalik, no the best idea is to install it from the native repos
[01:52] <Dalik> I can only deal with debs now
[01:52] <Dalik> well, if the repos dont have what I want
[01:52] <Madeye> flipcode, RPM -> Red hat package managager and DPKG -> Debian package manager
[01:53] <Dalik> as the repos are not always "current", but if you NEED to compile from source, check out checkinstall if you wish.
[01:53] <flipcode> how do i "add the universe repo" ?
[01:53] <Shinzetsu> how do I rip an iso from a disk?
[01:53] <longwave> flipcode: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the line about "universe"
[01:54] <Dalik> jatt, I hope they fix it its very annoying.  But I could try and fix it myself, the great thing about OSS!
[01:54] <ompaul> flipcode, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list <<- remove the #  from in front of the line starting with deb ending in universe, then add the word mulitverse to the end of that line,after that remove the # from the security lines at the foot of the page and the updates lines, save and run these three commands >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install proftpd << then start working on your proftpd settings
[01:54] <Jimmey> Hey guys. I'm about to try and install an intel graphics driver in the hope that it will keep the FPS of openGL games above 8. I've attempted this before, without luck - Does anyone have any experience in doing this?
[01:54] <IAskew> Shinzetsu, kiso
[01:55] <ompaul> cyphase, what is bouncing you so much?
[01:55] <Shinzetsu> flipcode: or just open synaptic > settings > repositories > edit > check universe
[01:55] <flipcode> nah i've uncommented the conf file
[01:55] <ompaul> Shinzetsu, flipcode has stated on console only  :-)
[01:55] <flipcode> yeah
[01:56] <flipcode> recons it cannot find package proftpd
[01:56] <Shinzetsu> ah okay
[01:56] <longwave> flipcode: you need to run "sudo apt-get update" to read the new repository data
[01:56] <Dalik> I installed ubuntu dapper when it first came out and noticed it was slow, loading apps, just general use was slow.  Then after a few weeks I used the i686 kernel and did a prelink, I noticed a difference.  I reinstalled again, and ran a faster-ubuntu.sh script and used the 686kernel right away and noticed a big difference, check it if you want to try.
[01:56] <longwave> flipcode: then installing proftpd should work
[01:56] <flipcode> i see
[01:56] <ompaul> flipcode, >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install proftpd <<
[01:56] <flipcode> exciting stuff, even from a redhatian
[01:57] <ompaul> flipcode, I already gave you that :-) in the long explaination where I also got you to enable security updates and package changes for version issues (to track the LTS version)
[01:57] <IAskew> Dalik, fast-dapper or faster-ubuntu?
[01:57] <Dalik> faster-dapper
[01:57] <Dalik> IAskew, faster-dapper
[01:58] <IAskew> i was looking at that the other day, everything work ok?
[01:58] <ompaul> IAskew,  Dalik, that script may not match your hardware correctly be careful -- installing the right kernel for the right proc is importand if AMD then it should be k7
[01:58] <nalpha> if want to find spesific folder with command find what do i must type ? example " i want to find cache in / "
[01:59] <IAskew> Dalik, IIRC theres a section at the bottome u have to comment out if ur using  a laptop, yes?
[01:59] <ompaul> IAskew,  still better to do each line as you understand it works
[01:59] <KenSentMe> nalpha: find / -name cache
[01:59] <POVaddct> nalpha: find / -name "cache*"
[01:59] <IAskew> i also wasnt enthralled about setting hdparm off w/out fully knowing what its doing
[01:59] <IAskew> ompaul, good advice, ty
[01:59] <ompaul>  /var/cache is useful there
[01:59] <IRCMonkeyX> hi, there isnt add-remove under applications menu ? how come ? it was there yesterday
[02:00] <deFrysk> nalpha, try .mozilla/firefox/a0li0d93.default/Cache/
[02:00] <deFrysk> or something
[02:00] <Dalik> IAskew, I dont know I installed the correct i686-smp kernel before I ran that script
[02:00] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, were you using alacarte?>
[02:00] <IAskew> Dalik, got you mate
[02:00] <IAskew> Dalik, thx for the heads up
[02:00] <Dalik> IAskew, I am not using a laptop so I just went with it, shoot first ask questions later :)
[02:00] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there is alacarte, but i didnt use it
[02:00] <IAskew> :)
[02:01] <lhds> guys i have a apci problem and when i boot i have a bios bug my tv card doesnt read in dmesg with apci=off in grub and without it ... do you advise me to download and compile the latest kernel from kernel.org? will that solve things?
[02:01] <nalpha> ok2 thanx
[02:01] <oskude> IRCMonkeyX: i still got that menu...
[02:01] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, well it is here today here ;-) so I guess you must have been doing something - check out alacarte it can be used to configure the menu
[02:02] <Dalik> If I run this command "env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure" everytime I run "./configure" it will run with those flags right?
[02:03] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there isnt add/remove  at alacarte too:(
[02:04] <flipcode> damn, needs cdrom
[02:04] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, give me 5 minutes please
[02:04] <lhds> any anyone help?
[02:04] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: oki
[02:04] <ompaul> flipcode, chill - we don't need to get excited :)
[02:04] <longwave> Dalik: no, not every time, just for that build (so when you do make it will keep those flags, but if you rerun ./configure without the flags it will lose them)
[02:05] <Dalik> longwave, ok cool, thnx
[02:06] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX,  choose create new entry and here are its values:[ Name: Add/Remove... ] [ Comment: Install and remove applications ] [/usr/bin/gnome-app-install]  then check it in alacarte cheers
[02:06] <Dalik> lhds, sorry mate not sure
[02:06] <seagullthem1> I can't get sound to work in WINE, when accessing the "audio" tab in winecfg, I get this:   fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer support MIDI in. Not supported yet (please report)
[02:06] <seagullthem1> fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so, please install this library to use jack
[02:07] <ompaul> Dalik, cat "your_options > NewFileForRemindingYou"
[02:07] <Dalik> ompaul, I am doing that right now. :)
[02:07] <flipcode> beautiful
[02:07] <flipcode> now that was easy
[02:07] <Roadkill^> quick question... is there any way i can startx (and login) with putty (ssh)?
[02:08] <nalpha> guys if we download file with wget where is the default directory of download??
[02:08] <flipcode> home dir?
[02:08] <nalpha> i not found it..
[02:08] <oskude> nalpha: i quess the dir where you executed wget...
[02:08] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: it says nu such file or directory ,when i try to open it
[02:08] <IAskew> nalpha, wherever u run the cmd from?
[02:08] <fyrestrtr> Roadkill^: you'd need remote desktop services running (like vnc)
[02:08] <flipcode> that was my second guess
[02:08] <nalpha> o...
[02:08] <nalpha> the default in my cmd....
[02:08] <nalpha> ok2 thanx2 ^^
[02:08] <IAskew> home
[02:08] <oskude> ...
[02:08] <ompaul> !enter
[02:09] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.

[02:09] <fyrestrtr> I tried acidrip, dvdrip, k3b to encode a dvd to divx -- ended up with using mencoder from the cli
[02:09] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, check that for typos by using the browse button
[02:10] <Roadkill^> fyrestrtr problem is that vino is running only when X is runing
[02:10] <fyrestrtr> 3 hours running around, and one command did it the first time.
[02:10] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyX, if it is missing then you have done something rather strange
[02:10] <Roadkill^> brb
[02:11] <letters_9> im repartitioning an NTFS HD, theory is to have ubuntu on a 80g master 25g ext3, 54g NTFS and 1gig swap and an 80g NTFS XP boot on slave
[02:12] <letters_9> ive resized the master and that worked ok, do I need to move it as well ?
[02:12] <ro3> i' using a laptop, the most sound from it is its two fans spinning, any idea how i can contorl them?
[02:12] <letters_9> am I being crazy doing this ?
[02:12] <ToRTuReD_X> !gnomebaker
[02:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about gnomebaker - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:12] <fyrestrtr> letters_9: install XP on the master, install ubuntu on the slave, and let grub take care of the rest.
[02:14] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: there is no gnome-app install, i am downloading from synaptic
[02:14] <afief> is there a way to ADD items to the menus? for example to add gnomebaker
[02:14] <lhds> guys i have a apci problem and when i boot i have a bios bug my tv card doesnt read in dmesg with apci=off in grub and without it ... do you advise me to download and compile the latest kernel from kernel.org? will that solve things?
[02:14] <IRCMonkeyX> afief: alacarte menu editor
[02:14] <deFrysk> afief, righclick the menu button
[02:14] <deFrysk> afief then edit menus
[02:15] <wthww__> afief alecarte menu editor in accessories
[02:15] <deFrysk> rightclick the menu button
[02:15] <wthww__> ohh, sorry defrysk
[02:15] <Dalik> anyone consider rebuilding mostly used applications like gnome for example from source?
[02:15] <babo> err ... I can't remember the tool to install .debs again ? ... what's the rpm -i equiv for ubuntu ? ... also will the debian .deb for wengophone install do you reckon ?
[02:16] <afief> IRCMonkeyX: and what does it mean when gnome baker gives me a "GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once." error?
[02:16] <MatthewV> Dalik, i don't think so, if you want to do that use gentoo ;)
[02:17] <IRCMonkeyX> afief: i dont know, but may u open it two times ?
[02:17] <babo> come on guys ? I've forgotten how to install a .deb ... ? ... pls
[02:17] <letters_9> fyrestrtr, there is stuff on both hd's will it really do it all automatically ?
[02:17] <afief> IRCMonkeyX: nope, trying to run it for the first time after installation
[02:17] <Dalik> babo, apt-get install <debfile>
[02:17] <letters_9> without reformatting one or the other
[02:17] <Dalik> afief, did you restart your system?
[02:17] <ucordes> is there any way to search for contacts in ekiga?
[02:17] <deFrysk> babo, sudo dpkg -i <debpackage>
[02:17] <babo> Dalik: arrggh ... d'oh ... I thought there was some rpm-like tool out there for it ... thanks
[02:18] <IRCMonkeyX> afief: i really dont know, friends may help you
[02:18] <babo> deFrysk: that was the one I was thinking about ... thanks
[02:18] <Dalik> babo, you mean if you downloaded the deb file already ?
[02:18] <babo> Dalik: yes
[02:18] <Dalik> babo, or you want apt to pull the package from the internet for you?
[02:18] <letters_9> hmm arg, and most tutorials ive read seem to recommend having hte xp as slave HD
[02:18] <babo> no, dpkg will do fine ... it's not in the repos ...
[02:18] <babo> afaik
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !modem > jack_sparrow
[02:19] <babo> ucordes: what's ekiga phone like ?
[02:19] <Dalik> you can double click the deb file and a app will run and allow you to install it, thats GUI and command hmm
[02:19] <letters_9> now im undecided
[02:19] <IRCMonkeyX> ompaul: now i have it, how did it gone i dont know :)
[02:19] <wthww__> !modem > wthww
[02:19] <letters_9> wont grub over right the mbr ?
[02:19] <Dalik> I think dpkg-xxx will do it for you
[02:19] <Dalik> babo, will look for it hold on
[02:19] <wthww__> !modem > wthww__
[02:19] <babo> Dalik: I'd prefer if it error'd to the command prompt
[02:19] <lhds> can i get bios information version and technical info from within linux prompt?
[02:20] <wthww__> hardware lhds?
[02:20] <letters_9> really i need to get my modem working before I can be sure
[02:20] <deFrysk> lhds, lspci
[02:20] <wthww__> try lspci
[02:20] <lhds> no
[02:20] <lhds> no info from lspci
[02:21] <letters_9> not many hardware vendors support accessing bios from XP, so very very few would have linux support
[02:21] <ucordes> babo: what you mean?
[02:21] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: there is biosdecode, but i dont know use of it
[02:21] <babo> ucordes: I mean is it any good ? ... I've had it up here with skype
[02:22] <letters_9> linux will show you what is connected etc
[02:22] <Dalik> babo, dpkg -i *.deb
[02:22] <Dalik> so dpkg -i apache.deb
[02:23] <babo> Dalik: cool, got it thanks
[02:23] <Dalik> dpkg --help  | info dpkg | man dpkg | google for dpkg

[02:41] <soweto> greetings guys, I have just installed my 6.06 Ubuntu Version, and would like to compile my own kernel.I have installed make and gcc, but i get errors when i try to make menuconfig
[02:41] <soweto> what can I do??
[02:41] <Bazzi_> soweto: what errors do you get?
[02:41] <oskude> soweto: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:41] <franko> also libncurses
[02:41] <Dodzey> !kernel > soweto
[02:42] <soweto> oskude, I'll try that..
[02:42] <soweto> I've downloaded 2.6.16
[02:42] <soweto> and have a .config I used with it before
[02:42] <ADminS> how to reconfigure oem user ?
[02:42] <ADminS> !oem
[02:42] <soweto> (another machine)
[02:42] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[02:43] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: why dont u use device manager ?
[02:43] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds: system/admin./dev. man.
[02:44] <lhds> device manager?
[02:44] <lhds> what that can do? i cannot change options from there and it does not scan
[02:45] <soweto> oskude >> thanks ,... problem solved
[02:45] <letters_9> IRCMonkeyX , sooo, if I just let ubantu to its own thing, it will just overwrite the mbr on the master xp hd and install Ubuntu on the unpartitioned space on the slave ?
[02:45] <oskude> soweto: roger
[02:45] <letters_9> without killing anything but the mbr on the primary xp ?
[02:45] <IRCMonkeyX> lhds:what do you wanna do ? which options ?
[02:45] <lhds> it only sends info to ubuntu database ......
[02:46] <lhds> i want to bring back original setup from where i first installed everything without reinstalling and erasing update packages
[02:46] <Dalik> letters_9, when you reinstall create 3 partitions one for root "/" one for boot "/boot" one for home "/home" theny ou wont have this problem again.
[02:46] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : you should make partition manually, and make ubuntu area as ext3
[02:46] <chaizzilla> damn, it's almost creepy how sweet & easy ubuntu installed... enough to get me over my whatever resistance to complicated gui bla.. [a console wench hath been freed...]
[02:46] <letters_9> ive done that
[02:46] <letters_9> have 50g ntfs / 30g unpartioned currently
[02:47] <lhds> irc monkey is it possible to do so?
[02:47] <letters_9> dont know if I want to make swap shouldnt 2g be enough ?
[02:47] <Dalik> letters_9, you got 2gig ram?
[02:47] <chaizzilla> tho i needs to try this again b/c the burn failed a checksum or three and eliminating that as a possibility before figuring out some of the tougher hardware would be cool
[02:47] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : so where is your ubuntu, 2gb is even more for swap, mine is 1 gb, it depends on your ram
[02:47] <letters_9> but, how to set it up got 50ntfs/30ntfs and 80g ntfs (with bootable xp)
[02:47] <dmsantam> letters_9, swap is useful for hibernate (suspend to disk)
[02:47] <letters_9> 2g check
[02:47] <letters_9> ahhh
[02:48] <chaizzilla> before you know it i'll be using a computer for computer using things rather than learning how to set them up
[02:48] <letters_9> k so 3gig for swap just in case
[02:48] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : how come 80 gb all ntfs ?? where is your ubuntu ?
[02:48] <letters_9> but... lots of ppl say ubunto on slave
[02:48] <letters_9> i havent installed it yet :(
[02:49] <letters_9> have 30g unpartioned
[02:49] <letters_9> just resized
[02:49] <lhds> when i make usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386$ sudo make menuconfig  what can i do to write the changes to kernel?
[02:49] <lhds>
[02:49] <letters_9> and it gave a funny error
[02:49] <letters_9> so i had a panic attack :)
[02:49] <letters_9> it all still work but in xp
[02:49] <letters_9> just 30gig less space lol
[02:50] <Dalik> anyone have luck getting soldat to run under wine/cedega correctly? :)
[02:50] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : choose manual aprtitioning, than you should choose root part as 30 gb as ext 3 , and u need to give for swap too
[02:50] <chaizzilla> w
[02:51] <letters_9> ok, one last, what about move, do I need to move the ntfs partition ?
[02:51] <letters_9> just make it primary ?
[02:52] <[b] urk> how can i find out what partition my /boot folder is on? like (hd0,1) and so on
[02:52] <letters_9> the ntfs is set as boot, hmm ill just try installing and see if i has some extra options
[02:52] <ubuntux> fdisk -l
[02:52] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : may be thi helps you , http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/903/
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Is anyone good at setting up a non-win modem... pcmcia xircom using com3 and irq11 shows as pci bus2 dev 0 function 1
[02:53] <letters_9> thanks IRCMonkeyX
[02:54] <sharyari> elo
[02:54] <letters_9> Dalik , see I want to dual boot, from two HD's , one ntfs/ext3/swap the other ntfs , do you still think I need boot/system/data partitions ?
[02:54] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : try for ubuntuforums too, there are many topics for it
[02:54] <letters_9> yeah, I read a lot of them but...
[02:54] <soweto> Does anyone know which apt-get package installs mkinird on 6.06
[02:55] <letters_9> i got this crazy error message and had a panic attack :)
[02:55] <IRCMonkeyX> letters_9 : be careful, dont lose your data :)
[02:55] <frandavid100> hi
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> letters_9:   is the bootable xp the first partition of the primary drive
[02:55] <letters_9> yeah, well it resized it ok, should be alright I imagine
[02:55] <lhds> ! jwebwk xinoukw
[02:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about jwebwk xinoukw - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:56] <letters_9> threw everything important on the other drive..
[02:56] <lhds> ! kernel compile
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about kernel compile - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:56] <dx> possible a stupid question, but what are the chances that we get X-Fi drivers soon?
[02:56] <frandavid100> just a question... what packages must I install in order to have flash videos?
[02:56] <lhds> !compile
[02:56] <letters_9> think ill just stick to switiching with bios atm
[02:56] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)

[02:59] <stjepan> hi
[02:59] <stjepan> I enabled multiverse repository in sources.list
[02:59] <stjepan> but I get no packages from multiverse
[02:59] <stjepan> I want to apt-get mplayer
[02:59] <stjepan> but it can't find it
[02:59] <stjepan> but if I go to packages.ubuntu.com, it is in multiverse
[03:00] <oskude> stjepan: did you do "sudo apt-get update" ?
[03:00] <stjepan> why?
[03:00] <oskude> !enter
[03:00] <stjepan> oskude, yes
[03:00] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[03:00] <stjepan> oskude, can you aptitude search mplayer?
[03:00] <oskude> stjepan: i use apt-get... yes i can find mplayer... like mplayer-686
[03:01] <stjepan> but I can't :(
[03:01] <oskude> stjepan: pastebin your sources.list
[03:01] <stjepan> apt-get update:

[03:05] <Marc1> Khamael: there is some gnome tool but forget what it is called.  I'm thinking...

[03:06] <acojlo> hi, where to put GCC optimization flags in order to become system wide?
[03:06] <Mooman> and I d/l the driver and tried to install it
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> moonlite: start by telling us the chipset of your netword hardware
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ug
[03:06] <lhds> when  i compile i always get error 2  No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'.  Stop.
[03:07] <Mooman> when I installed it it told me i need some tcl or something.
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[03:07] <stjepan> oskude, ok tnx
[03:07] <Mooman> And I don`t know what to do next.
[03:08] <gnomefreak> Mooman: install the libs it tells you to
[03:08] <Mooman> And it`s really getting me tired to restart all the time in order to find out what the next thing I gotta do.
[03:08] <Mooman> what`s libs?
[03:08] <procrastinator_> I just updated my Firefox to <IP_ADDRESS>, and now all my extensions and themes are gone?
[03:09] <Mooman> And how can I install them.
[03:09] <Mooman> ?
[03:09] <ViktorMento> how could I transform a .bin to .deb?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> Mooman: what it tells you you need say it tells you you need tcl1.8 that you would apt-cache search tcl1.8 and find it in the list than sudo apt-get install <whatever the name is>
[03:10] <gnomefreak> ViktorMento: why not run hte .bin as it is
[03:10] <Shinzetsu>  how do I make a backup of my system?
[03:10] <Mooman> how can I use apt-get if I didn`t configure my network?
[03:10] <stjepan> oskude, now it works, thanks!!
[03:10] <ViktorMento> I need to control the files installed
[03:11] <Dimitrije> How to add system tray on panel?
[03:11] <ViktorMento> Example: Automatic Uninstall

[03:12] <steve_Laptop> hello all
[03:12] <steve_Laptop> ? what is the command to add users to a sever
[03:13] <oskude> steve_Laptop: howabout reading "apropos user"
[03:14] <oskude> steve_Laptop: found it ?
[03:15] <steve_Laptop> Im lost sorry
[03:15] <crazy_penguin> does someone know what voltage is used by the riva tnt2 video cards? 3 volts or 1,5 volts?
[03:15] <oskude> steve_Laptop: if you type "apropos user" in terminal, it will search for commands that have something to do with users... there you would find "useradd"
[03:16] <dmsantam> crazy_penguin, #nvidia
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> k
[03:16] <dmsantam> adduser is better
[03:16] <dmsantam> rather than useradd
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> ok thanks
[03:16] <steve_Laptop> got it
[03:16] <crazy_penguin> oh
[03:16] <crazy_penguin> dmsantam: thx
[03:17] <dmsantam> crazy_penguin, no problem :)
[03:17] <acojlo> when compiling kernel, which processor type to select for intel celeron m 370 (1.5ghz)?
[03:18] <mof> !info ubotu
[03:18] <ubotu> Package ubotu does not exist in dapper
[03:18] <gdb> I've wondered why useradd is bundled when adduser is so much better.
[03:18] <neutrinomass> acojlo: 686 ...
[03:18] <oskude> gdb: bundled ?
[03:19] <neutrinomass> acojlo: I think at least - what other choices do you have ?
[03:19] <gdb> oskude: "bundled" means "comes with the OS"
[03:19] <dmsantam> acojlo, CONFIG_M686 and CONFIG_X86_PC should be set
[03:20] <oskude> gdb: and adduser doesnt ?
[03:20] <dmsantam> oskude, he's saying why bundle useradd if adduser is there anyway
[03:20] <gdb> oskude: I never implied that.
[03:21] <gdb> oskude: They both come bundled, I don't know why useradd does when adduser is better.  It's also against the Ubuntu aim of "a single best of breed tool for the job".
[03:21] <oskude> ah ok, well, isnt linux all about redunancy, like why do we have kde when we have gnome ? ;P
[03:21] <Verrona> does anyone here use wengo?
[03:21] <gdb> Ah, they don't both come in the same install.
[03:21] <lhds> !kernel
[03:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:21] <dmsantam> useradd is kind of relied on i suspect
[03:21] <acojlo> dmsantam, I have pentium-m as a option
[03:22] <mof> For a small website would mysql or apache be easier to lean/more suitable?
[03:22] <dmsantam> i wouldn't be surprised if adduser used useradd
[03:22] <dmsantam> in fact, i'd be surprised if it didn't
[03:22] <gdb> dmsantam: I feel that vi, cp, and mkdir are better tools than useradd. ;-)  But that's me!
[03:22] <toxic> how safe is it to upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[03:22] <dmsantam> gdb, well, your name is gdb, you obviously like debugging ;)
[03:22] <gdb> toxic: It's not.  Edgy isn't a release.
[03:23] <dmsantam> toxic, unsafe
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> toxic: not
[03:23] <dmsantam> toxic, toxic even
[03:23] <acojlo> neutrinomass, dmsantam, are you shure for 686? I read I should set pentium-m as written at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Celeron_M
[03:23] <oskude> adduser seems to be a script...
[03:23] <rixxon> edgy isn't supposed to be released for yet some time aye?
[03:23] <gdb> So is useradd.
[03:23] <toxic> ok
[03:23] <toxic> hehe
[03:23] <dmsantam> correct :)
[03:23] <toxic> maybe i shouldn't try it then :/
[03:23] <gdb> rixxon: That's right.
[03:23] <mof> oops mysql v postgres
[03:23] <rixxon> gdb, like, october?
[03:24] <toxic> which is sad because it contains xine-lib 1.1.2 which might contain a fix i need
[03:24] <dmsantam> acojlo, afaik pentium M is a 686
[03:24] <gdb> If you'd like to contribute to Ubuntu development via bug reports and testing, please do.  If you want to "get work done" then avoid it.
[03:24] <oskude> /usr/sbin/useradd is a bin here :/
[03:24] <epeira> www.epeira.it
[03:24] <gdb> rixxon: Yes, I do believe it's set to be released as 6.10 (ie; October).
[03:24] <oskude> and yes, adduser uses useradd
[03:24] <gdb> Ah, so adduser extends the functionality of useradd.
[03:24] <rixxon> gdb, i have the same believe
[03:24] <dmsantam> gdb, october?!
[03:24] <toxic> is there no way to use some of the packages without the trouble of it wanting to upgrade everything if i want to upgrade the rest?
[03:24] <rixxon> belief?
[03:25] <gdb> Well, useradd by itself is a bit spartan.
[03:25] <dmsantam> gdb, i thought it was december
[03:25] <Mooman> Thanks, bye.
[03:25] <toxic> dmsantam: that's what i have read too
[03:25] <gdb> So 6.12?  That works.  I thought I'd read 6.10 somewhere.
[03:25] <toxic> october that is
[03:25] <oskude> gdb: &systemcall('/usr/sbin/useradd', '-d', $home_dir, '-g', $ingroup_name, '-s', $shell, '-u', $new_uid, $new_name);
[03:25] <dmsantam> wow. 4 month release cycle
[03:25] <dmsantam> i think its december :)
[03:25] <dmsantam> !edgy
[03:25] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule

[03:25] <unme> anybody help me out to work dialup using bluetooth
[03:25] <rixxon> well dapper being lts slowed down release cycle
[03:26] <gdb> Yes, 6.10 indicates an October release.
[03:26] <unme> plsssssssssssssssssss
[03:26] <gdb> dmsantam: Dapper was delayed 6 weeks.
[03:26] <dmsantam> yeah
[03:26] <dmsantam> it does seem to be october
[03:26] <unme> how is dialup using bluetooth
[03:26] <neutrinomass> acojlo: Go with that then. (686 will work, but pentium m is a better optimisation)
[03:27] <unme> anybody plsssssssssssss
[03:27] <FurryNemesis> anyone know how I can start a gnome session without compiz?
[03:27] <dmsantam> unme, dialup does not use bluetooth
[03:27] <gdb> I really like Ubuntu's versioning scheme. :)
[03:27] <unme> hey but in windows its possible
[03:28] <dmsantam> unme, you mean your modem connects to PC with bluetooth?
[03:28] <unme> yes
[03:28] <acojlo> ok, thanks
[03:28] <dmsantam> that's like having a mule with an electric starter ;)
[03:28] <dmsantam> unme, its quite possible. i have never done it though

[03:32] <elmargol> Atm, I use gconftool-2 and add entrys to desktop/gnome/url-handlers/, isn't there a general way to do this?
[03:33] <unme> how the multisyc works
[03:33] <unme> i want 2 surf internet
[03:33] <unme> using my phone
[03:34] <srn> ..why?
[03:34] <srn> i suppose you mean through bluetooth
[03:34] <acojlo> unme, you can set up gprs
[03:34] <unme> i've got dat option only to surf internet
[03:34] <srn> ... why!?
[03:34] <srn> that makes no sence
[03:34] <acojlo> snr, maybe he wants to be on the beach and surf
[03:34] <srn> ahh
[03:35] <acojlo> surf the net :)
[03:35] <unme> sorry im in a critcal stage
[03:35] <srn> i see
[03:35] <srn> i thought he ment the other way around
[03:35] <unme> surf the net only yaar not beach
[03:35] <acojlo> people, stop asking why and start producing answers (if you have the knowledge) :)
[03:35] <unme> anybody pls help me out
[03:36] <patrick_king> !ntfs
[03:36] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[03:36] <srn> oh right.. didn't ntfs got writeable recently?
[03:37] <acojlo> unme, you can set up GPRS over bluetooth connection with your se cell phone
[03:37] <patrick_king> has it
[03:37] <unme> i ve got gprs
[03:37] <toxic> aargh, i feel so tempted to upgrade to edgy, it contains so many upgrades i want :/ but it's not worth a broken system
[03:37] <unme> but im not able to access it on my pc
[03:37] <mopflite> toxic: what upgrades in particular?
[03:37] <toxic> libxine and the kernel
[03:38] <acojlo> unme, multisync is very easy. You install evolution mail program (like ms office) and install multisync packages. It's easy to set up and then you do synchronisation with few clicks (works for my t610)
[03:38] <toxic> libxine because http auth, and kernel because it might contain fixes to my sata and sdcardreader
[03:38] <acojlo> unme, multisync can do sync over bluetooth or IR or Serial port
[03:38] <patrick_king> is there a flight of edgy out
[03:38] <srn> hm.. can i get quicktime play in firefox?
[03:39] <toxic> srn: using mplayer plugin and win32codecs
[03:39] <toxic> maybe
[03:39] <acojlo> toxic, which kernel is in edgy?
[03:39] <toxic> .17
[03:39] <toxic> i think
[03:39] <toxic> i read
[03:39] <unme> i hope multisync cant get internet
[03:39] <acojlo> unme, no
[03:40] <acojlo> unme, for internet you use standard ppp dialer, but before that you have to set up bluetooth connection - it will automaticaly set up your cell phone modem
[03:40] <acojlo> unme, you have to use connection parameters given by your gsm operator
[03:41] <unme> how to set blue tooth
[03:41] <acojlo> unme, most probably you have just to plug bluetooth adapter into your computer's usb port
[03:41] <unme> i cant see the bluetooth in ppp
[03:42] <unme> yes its plugged in
[03:42] <acojlo> well, read the manual at ubuntu wiki about GPRS - there you have few steps to complete installation
[03:42] <acojlo> unme, you will not see bluetooth in ppp, you will see there your cell phone modem
[03:43] <acojlo> port for cell phone modem is something like a /dev/rfcomm0
[03:43] <iratik> Having trouble converting from DHCP to static in dapper - anyone know of a tutorial
[03:43] <unme> cellphone modem which software is that ppp
[03:43] <unme> is it gnome dialer
[03:44] <acojlo> iratik, you have networking option in system menu. Just go through menus - it's safest way
[03:44] <iratik> ubuntu-server
[03:45] <longwave> iratik: "man 5 interfaces" has the syntax for /etc/network/interfaces, which is the file you need to edit
[03:45] <oskude> iratik: man interfaces
[03:45] <POVaddct> iratik: man 5 interfaces, $EDITOR /etc/network/interfaces
[03:45] <iratik> Yeah, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong - i'll look closer at the manual and get back
[03:45] <FurryNemesis> Hi all  -  I need to kill Compiz without b0rking xgl - would the right terminal command be killall -compiz?
[03:45] <POVaddct> iratik: what have you done so far and what went wrong?
[03:46] <longwave> iratik: basically change the interface from "dhcp" to "static" then add the address, network, broadcast, etc. options underneath
[03:46] <unme> acojlo, pls help me out
[03:46] <srn> ps aux|grep compiz
[03:46] <srn> and then kill -9 pid
[03:46] <FurryNemesis> thank you
[03:46] <iratik> Well, I switched commented out auto and dhcp and did iface eth0 inet static, with the address, netmask, broadcast and gateway
[03:46] <iratik> This is the first system it hasnt worked on
[03:47] <longwave> srn: the quicker way of doing that is "killall -9 compiz"
[03:47] <iratik> I think I need a more verbose output from ifconfig
[03:47] <longwave> iratik: you probably don't want to comment out auto
[03:47] <longwave> iratik: "auto" means to bring the interface up when the system boots, which is probably what you want
[03:47] <iratik> Ah
[03:47] <POVaddct> iratik: eth0 must remain in auto
[03:48] <iratik> Bingo, perhaps if I uncomment auto and restart with my exsting settings
[03:48] <acojlo> unme, wait
[03:48] <unme> ok yaar
[03:48] <acojlo> unme, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111455
[03:48] <toodles> Hello everyone. I know it's not ubuntu specific but maybe you can tell me where to ask. I'm trying to use rpl to search and replace some code in multiple files I have. It works fine as long as I don't include spaces in the two strings. Here is the command I'm running:      rpl -w -R -v `echo 'ec';` `echo '<!--ec-->';` ./      I've read the man pages and googled for it but don't know how.
[03:48] <[cro] smiley> anyone from croatia?
[03:49] <FurryNemesis> hmm, no processes killed
[03:49] <iratik> toodles: Wouldn't that be easier with sed?
[03:49] <acojlo> unme, read also this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup
[03:49] <iratik> thanks
[03:49] <toodles> iratik, I don't know. Never used sed. I'll check it out.
[03:49] <FurryNemesis> ok, nm . thanks for help
[03:49] <unme> thanku so much yaar
[03:50] <jingcleovil> helo
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Can anyone suggest a reason that Knoppix found my pcmcia Xircom hardware modem and set it up without any help and I cant get Ubuntu to even try it.
[03:50] <jingcleovil> I am a new user of Ubuntu
[03:50] <acojlo> Well, I think that Ubuntu do not have well structured help documentation
[03:50] <acojlo> you go there and there ...
[03:51] <Tutter> hmm
[03:51] <iratik> That sounds like an attack, I will say that knoppix seems to support autodetecting network interfaces and setting them up better
[03:51] <Tutter> wonder why my latop doesn't actually power down when I use shutdown ..power stays on
[03:51] <Mikolan> woot im gonna install from a 4x CD-RW now ;D
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Not attacking Ub, I have been here working with Ub for quite awhile...
[03:52] <jingcleovil> The problem of mine is I fully installed the OS Server Type but I coould see a GUI. It displays me a black screen look like DOS
[03:52] <jingcleovil> what wrong with that?
[03:52] <iratik> jingcleovil: Servers don't have guis usually
[03:52] <longwave> jingcleovil: the server version comes with no GUI by default
[03:52] <antma121> I am trying to print to a network printer using U6.06 desktop, but it is not working
[03:52] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: does it help if you modprobe serial_cs manually?
[03:52] <jingcleovil> oh
[03:52] <iratik> You don't need a GUI to run a server, in fact - it wastes resources
[03:52] <acojlo> what does it mean when you say "it sounds like an attack"?
[03:52] <frandavid100> hi
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> I know modems can be problematic..
[03:52] <srn> huh
[03:53] <jingcleovil> so this means I will only work more on command lines?
[03:53] <acojlo> programers are problematic :)
[03:53] <srn> why do you know that, i've never experienced problem with modems
[03:53] <jingcleovil> is that it?
[03:53] <toodles> iratik, Had a quick look into sed. Looks very complicated. rpl seems simple in comparison: rpl search_sring replace_string ./dir_to_search
[03:53] <iratik> sounds like an attach like coming here just to criticize the difference between ubuntu and another distribution
[03:53] <POVaddct> acojlo: no. hardware is.
[03:53] <frandavid100> can you help me? what must I install to get flash working?
[03:53] <toodles> iratik, how would I do something similar with sed?
[03:53] <acojlo> ok :)
[03:53] <longwave> jingcleovil: yes, when i run my servers, i only use the command line
[03:53] <antma121> The printer returns "Request Entity Too Large"
[03:53] <longwave> !flash > frandavid100
[03:53] <antma121> What does that mean?
[03:53] <srn> use automatix
[03:54] <jingcleovil> oh ok thanks for the info
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> I have seen modems be a major pain for many people, except for hardware modems on com 1
[03:54] <jingcleovil> I rather choise an another one
[03:54] <jingcleovil> OS
[03:54] <frandavid100> thanks longwave
[03:54] <acojlo> anyway ubuntu desktop is prettier and faster than xp!
[03:54] <longwave> jingcleovil: if you want a GUI use the desktop CD instead
[03:54] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: you mean winmodems. yes, they are the most ugly hardware around.
[03:54] <jingcleovil> I mean Linux Distro
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> srn... please feel free to help me get this pcmcia hardware non-winmodem working with ub
[03:54] <antma121> The same message is returned regardless of printer connection type
[03:55] <acojlo> where to find some fancy gnome themes?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> com3 irq11
[03:55] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: plain old modems connected to the serial port just work.
[03:55] <acojlo> themes polished till perfection
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> gnome-look.org
[03:55] <antma121> Does anyone know how to get ipp printing to work?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> pov I agree....
[03:55] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: dmesg | grep ttyS
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: You want that on the knoppix system that works or should I boot to ub
[03:56] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu
[03:56] <antma121> Are there any known issues with network printing from Ub6.06 desktop?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> I'll boot Ub on the lappy
[03:57] <iratik> toodles: After reading through the documentation I've determined that your method would be easier than sed- just cuz I've never used sed on more than one file - and your method apparently has a directory argument - props
[03:57] <Johnny> does anyone know where i can get the original human icons for theme manager?
[03:58] <Johnny> i updated and now it has these orange icons
[03:58] <acojlo> I'm on laptop, and Fujitsu Siemens support told me they designed this laptop according to microsoft specifications. But it works better on Ubuntu except three problems: via vn800 graphic chip hardware acceleration, fan control and, system suspend
[03:58] <frandavid100> longwave it says: "Macromedia's Flash Player is only available for i386-based machines"
[03:58] <elmargol> Johnny: choose LegacyHuman
[03:59] <kihai> Hi, I'm looking for a way to delete the firefox cache for all registered users. I'm running Edubuntu with LTSP and there a few hundred user accounts. The most space is taken by the firefox cache. How can I delete all the caches automatically or better, set the max cache size for all users...?
[03:59] <Johnny> i did elmargol
[03:59] <frandavid100> if I have a 686 kernel, can't I play flash?
[03:59] <toxic> yes
[03:59] <toodles> iratik, yes, but the problem is I can't seem to include spaces in the strings.
[03:59] <longwave> frandavid100: you can play flash on any 32-bit x86 platform, so 686 would work
[04:00] <POVaddct> toodles: spaces need to be quoted on the command line
[04:00] <SteveMyers> Hi everyone
[04:00] <toodles> POVaddct, can you give me an example. I'm sure I've tried but it didn't work.
[04:00] <toxic> kihai: maybe use some kind of quota system
[04:00] <toxic> so they have to remove it themselves
[04:00] <POVaddct> toodles: like\ this   or    "like this"
[04:01] <SteveMyers> Does anyone here know how to get the D-Link DWLG610 to work on Ubuntu Dapper?
[04:01] <SteveMyers> DWLG510
[04:01] <iratik> get the windows drivers and lookup ndiswrapper
[04:01] <frandavid100> longwave: it only says to install flashplugin-nonfree, which I have
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: got it ttyS5 at I/O 0x4080 (irq = 11) is a 16550a
[04:02] <frandavid100> and yet flash doesn't work
[04:02] <Johnny> how can i manually get the old human icons back?
[04:02] <SteveMyers> iratik, could you explain in small detail?
[04:02] <dx> still no X-Fi drivers for Ubuntu?
[04:02] <Johnny> they arent there anymore
[04:02] <Johnny> now all i have is these orange ones
[04:02] <kihai> I already do. The space for each user is limited to 100Megs, but I forgot to adjust the cache size of ff to 20MB before adding all users. So I'm looking for a way to do this afterwards for all of them
[04:02] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: sudo screen /dev/ttyS5        then type in    ATZ (and return)
[04:03] <longwave> frandavid100: once you have that package installed, flash should work inside firefox
[04:03] <frandavid100> nope it doesn't
[04:03] <acojlo> maybe better sun java?
[04:03] <toodles> POVaddct, right. I'll try that. Thanks. The original search string is "echo 'ec';" without the double quotes. The 'echo' word and the single quotes and the semi-colon seem to be causing problems too though. Which of these need to be escaped?
[04:03] <longwave> frandavid100: try "sudo update-flashplugin" from a terminal?
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: It is talking to the modem... came back Ok
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> How do I get ttyS5 into Kppp
[04:04] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: you end the screen session with   ctrl-a k
[04:04] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: i don't know kppp. i use neither gnome nor kde.
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: done
[04:04] <Johnny> does anydoes anyone know i can get the original icons back?
[04:05] <frandavid100> longwave: I get return: 214: Illegal number: -1
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Kubuntu
[04:06] <longwave> frandavid100: humm, i dont know what that means. try uninstalling and then reinstalling the flashplugin package? or search the ubuntu forums for that error message
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> or Ubuntu
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: So we know it works...
[04:06] <frandavid100> it's alright longwave, I downloaded the official flash version from their webpage and it works now
[04:06] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[04:07] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: it's more like a kppp config problem now
[04:07] <frandavid100> guess the one in the edgy repos is faulty
[04:07] <scrilla_> anyone around?
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Now to get it working in a way the wife will be able to use :)
[04:07] <Tutter> flash and ubuntu/ff don't get along
[04:07] <iratik> I'm having trouble finding what program does , and it has a common name that google can't seem to figure out
[04:08] <iratik> what does quota do?
[04:08] <Ropechoborra> Someone can help me with a scanner problem?, i got a epson stylus cx4700, i've installed the printer and its working, but when i try to open XSane for scanning it says Not device found or somethng like that.. and i just cant make it work =(
[04:08] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: hehe
[04:08] <neutrinomass> frandavid100: #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[04:08] <Tutter> quota lets you set up a quota system for the users
[04:08] <toodles> POVaddct, I've tried that. It's still not working :-(
[04:08] <scrilla_> http://www.devrandom.org/p/paster.php?id=75
[04:08] <iratik> for disk space usage?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: I wonder if there is a kppp config file I can manually edit
[04:08] <Tutter> ..restrict their directory size so they can't use 2gigs
[04:08] <scrilla_> what could be causing that error?
[04:08] <Johnny> is there anyway i can go back to the original human theme?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct: Really really appreciate thie help
[04:08] <Johnny> like can i mark it for removal and reinstall it in syanptic maybe?
[04:08] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: no problem
[04:09] <tuxtux> ciao
[04:09] <Johnny> http://www.bolt.com/simplyjohny/audio/1413030
[04:09] <frandavid100> I'll bear in mind, neutrinomass
[04:09] <POVaddct> toodles: i don't know rpl
[04:09] <Johnny> sorry wrong chan
[04:09] <kihai> iratik: quota allows you to limit the available disk space on a per user base. So you can define for each user how much space he is allowed to use on the harddrive.
[04:10] <visik7> still not able to play http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/aug/wwdc_2006/m_wwdc_2006_350_ref.mov any clue ?
[04:10] <Dimensions> any one into TCL scripting ?
[04:10] <toodles> POVaddct, Would you know how to go though multiple files recursively with sed? I can't seem to find how to.
[04:11] <Johnny> does anyone know what the original human icons are called or where i could download them manually?
[04:11] <dapet> Anyone with experience in Netgear WG111v2 (tried nearly everyting, without result) :(
[04:11] <kihai> OK, another question regarding nfs. Is it possible (without bigger problems arising) to mount the /home directory over nfs from a remote computer, so that users can either log in locally or remote?
[04:11] <jbroome> Tutter: don't foget QUITS
[04:12] <mjr> kihai, it's not only possible, it's used often in larger settings
[04:12] <POVaddct> toodles: first make a backup copy of the directory you want to sed
[04:12] <LadyNikon> Tutter: ?
[04:12] <mjr> kihai, in fact, my SO currently uses nfs-homes from my box
[04:12] <kihai> toodles: You could use xargs
[04:13] <toodles> POVaddct, ok, done. Then what?
[04:13] <Splix> hi. Got an Acer al1916 widescreen lcd, but i can't get it up to its recommanded resolution? Its 1440x900.. but when i try it, 900 is to high. High like i have to move the mouse to see the startmenu... Anyone got ann idee?
[04:13] <sunnzy13> I have compiled a hello world program.
[04:13] <toodles> kihai, Hmmm. I'll look into it, thanks.
[04:13] <sunnzy13> But ./hello says: "bash: ./hello: Permission denied"
[04:13] <scrilla_> how do i reinstall xorg real quick?
[04:14] <sunnzy13> Is the execution of home made programs disabled in terminals?
[04:14] <J4t> no
[04:14] <POVaddct> toodles: then the command line would be something like: find your_directory -type f -exec sed -i~ -e 's/search/replace/g' {} \;
[04:14] <kihai> My problem is: I use LTSP but in the Edubuntu version there is no local device access. (usb-sticks) So I want to take a locally installed Ubuntu on one PC with /home mounted over nfs as well as a copy of passwd, shadow and group and allow users to log in on that one PC to upload/download files to their homedirectories. You think that's possible without corrupting anythin?
[04:14] <J4t> sunnzy13: chmod +x hello
[04:15] <toodles> POVaddct,  thanks I'll try that
[04:15] <J4t> to make it executable
[04:15] <POVaddct> toodles: sed will make backup copies of the changed files with ~ appended to the name
[04:15] <kihai> mjr: what's SO?
[04:15] <sunnzy13> J4t, it is already -rwxr-xr-x 1 sunnz sunnz 17701 2006-08-08 23:59 hello
[04:15] <sunnzy13> However
[04:15] <toodles> POVaddct, Ok, thanks.

[04:16] <J4t> sunnzy13: over my head :)

[04:16] <J4t> cant really tell
[04:16] <epirsch> Hi, I've just installed MySQL 5 using Synaptic Package Manager. I've setup the root password. Now my I launch the GUI MySQL Administrator, whenever I go to "User Administration" the UI freeze and I have to kill the application. Any idea why?
[04:16] <Dimensions> any one knows how can i use tcl script to check remote server for software update and downloading it
[04:16] <scrilla_> whats a friendly command line based package manager for ubuntu?
[04:17] <void^> sunnzy13: 'file hello'
[04:17] <Johnny> scrilla_, aptitude
[04:17] <kihai> mjr: Thanks :) I already tried to do this nfs /home thing, but when I logged in there were a bunch of errors regarding not accessible files. Probably files not stored in /home. But then I'd have to make a complete mirror of my root dir, or wouldn't I?
[04:17] <sunnzy13> void^, hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, not stripped
[04:17] <scrilla_> Johnny: besides aptitude?
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> POVaddct:  I got it... fyi just needed to symlink it     ln -s /dev/ttyS5 /dev/modem   and all is well... you are the best.. thanks
[04:18] <POVaddct> Jack_Sparrow: cool
[04:18] <Johnny> not sure i always use aptitude
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> I knew I got it working last year..
[04:18] <kihai> mjr: So how do you make sure all the needed files are there when logging in via nfs?
[04:18] <Dimensions> Jack_Sparrow: do you work in Tcl scripting ?
[04:18] <mjr> kihai, yeah, maybe some things weren't installed in that system that were in the original one
[04:18] <Tutter> gah
[04:18] <toodles> POVaddct, Would you mind looking at the command I entered?
[04:18] <Tutter> how do u ignore joins/parts
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Dimensions: sorry no
