[12:00] <ianmacgregor> jojoman02: Try some of these: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22zenity+tutorial%22&btnG=Google+Search
[12:01] <rcarr> Quash: then cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/floppy
[12:01] <ianmacgregor> jojoman02: Never mind, those aren't very helpful either <sigh>
[12:01] <wweasel> marcrosoft: alright. Well, there seems to be an error with it somehow. Try reinstalling it.
[12:01] <skavenge> is there an avenue to take to speak to canonical about how the ubuntu channels are being run, being that they have the overall say in the matter? apparently ubuntuforums is not the right avenue as they want nothing to do with the irc aspect, but the abuse is obvious as the sky is blue
[12:02] <Quash> rcarr: what are floppies?
[12:02] <Quash> rcarr: just joking.
[12:02] <jojoman02> ianmacgregor: yeah i just noticed, i'll look round
[12:02] <crimsun> skavenge: to what are you referring?
[12:02] <marcrosoft> wweasel, the first error message that i posted is that is happening when i try to reinstall lftp
[12:02] <variant> skavenge: what abuse?
[12:02] <fabio_> a question, how can i set permission on shared directory? i view it with network browser of ubuntu...where it mount those directory?
[12:02] <rcarr> Quash: Haha, I was going to say...hmmm
[12:02] <crimsun> skavenge: we do have governance: see the Community Council, for instance.
[12:02] <skavenge> im not going to get into it im just looking for an email address or link
[12:03] <Quash> rcarr: looking back at your messages.  Yes, this is a problem booting off the Live CD 386 and the DVD.
[12:03] <kitche> skavenge: umm maybe canonical website has one
[12:03] <wweasel> marcrosoft: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall lftp" tell me what it does
[12:03] <ianmacgregor> jojoman02: It might be helpful to look through these scripts to see if you can find anything about it: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-archiving.php
[12:03] <crimsun> skavenge: if it's a community issue, please add your item(s) to the next Community Council meeting agenda, and show up for the meeting.
[12:03] <ianmacgregor> jojoman02: Those are script dealing with archiving.
[12:03] <rcarr> Quash: Ok, well it sounds like a Xorg problem, so checking the logs and stuff seems best
[12:03] <jojoman02> ianmacgregor: gracias
[12:03] <rcarr> Quash: Also: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:03] <ferrouswheel> Hi all. I've got a an ubuntu server running samba. my ubuntu desktop usually is fine connecting but during intensive access the smbio daemon goes to 100% cpu usage and the samba mount  point can longer be stat'ed
[12:03] <rcarr> Quash: And select the right options for your video card and monitor and stuff
[12:03] <crimsun> skavenge: be sure that all parties involved are aware and will be present at said meeting
[12:04] <rcarr> Quash: then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[12:04] <rcarr> Quash: Then control+alt+f7 to go back to GDM
[12:04] <marcrosoft> wweasel, dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 3232 package `lftp':
[12:04] <marcrosoft>  missing version
[12:04] <marcrosoft> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[12:04] <rcarr> Quash: Maybe try that before the log stuff, because that could very well fix it
[12:04] <fabio_> anyone can help me?
[12:05] <Noob1> hum i hae a question
[12:05] <junky> if im going to system -> prefs-> sound, any idea why the default card isnt the right one?
[12:05] <Noob1> dose the server vresion have a gui
[12:05] <junky> im i play anything, this is on my other card.
[12:05] <rcarr> Noob1: No, you can install one though
[12:05] <Quash> rcarr: just copying all this down.  Very helpful and appreciated!
[12:05] <rcarr> Quash: No problem, good luck
[12:05] <wweasel> marcrosoft: ok, same thing. I am not an expert in this, so I am trying to look it up
[12:05] <ferrouswheel> Funnily, I can still access the samba share through nautilus/konqueror, just not through the mount point - so the server seems fine. the smbiod process must just have some kind of bug
[12:05] <Quash> rcarr: So, try this before the log stuff??
[12:06] <Quash> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:06] <skavenge> crimsun: my point being i want to speak to someone in charge vs an op thats going to give me lip service on the issue, the ops must have to answer to someone or is it free reign on irc? if so ubuntu's idea of community is quite misguided
[12:06] <Quash> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:06] <Quash> Then control+alt+f7 to go back to GDM
[12:06] <wweasel> marcrosoft, I found this: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/faq.en.html#comp-general.dpkg-parse-error
[12:06] <rcarr> Quash: Yeah
[12:06] <Quash> rcarr: great.  quick question...
[12:06] <Noob1> rcarr: were can i get a gui or is there a way just to put ir on ubuntu
[12:06] <crimsun> skavenge: the "some [people]  in charge" are known as the Community Council.
[12:06] <variant> skavenge: its users helping users, not a corporation (the irc i mean)
[12:07] <Quash> rcarr: I still start the above with alt + ctrl + F6 or F1?
[12:07] <rcarr> Noob1: From the server edition, you could run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to get gnome and a bunch of GUI config programs
[12:07] <snikker> anyones has experience with vmware?
[12:07] <rcarr> Quash: Either one
[12:07] <rcarr> Quash: Or anything inbetween for that matter
[12:07] <fabio_> snikker me
[12:07] <variant> skavenge: so go to ubuntu.com, get the contact email and stop trolling here
[12:07] <Quash> rcarr: :) k.  So, when I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at the black screen...
[12:08] <rcarr> eQuash: No, after hitting control+alt+FSomething
[12:08] <rcarr> Quash: And at the prompt
[12:08] <skavenge> variant: you and i dont have powers some others in the channel have that may abuse them for their own amusement, im not trolling
[12:08] <Quash> rcarr: will this go stick with the CD or could it reconfigure my installed Breezy?
[12:08] <marcrosoft> wweasel, ok, going to try that
[12:08] <rcarr> Quash: It will stick with the CD
[12:08] <rcarr> Quash: If it still doesn't work, try the Alternate Install CD
[12:08] <variant> skavenge: here you go: http://www.canonical.com/contact
[12:08] <rcarr> Quash: It has an installer like breezys, the console based one
[12:08] <Will> !channels
[12:08] <ubotu> A list of Freenode channels is available via http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - UBuntu related channels can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[12:08] <rcarr> Quash: And pretty much always works
[12:08] <junky> why i cant root@troy:/home/junky# rmmod snd_atiixp
[12:08] <junky> ERROR: Module snd_atiixp is in use
[12:09] <junky> this is not busy, i mean, theres no apps which are requesting sound atm
[12:09] <Erwin> Any magic option to make metacity desktop switching performance better on this nvidia 4200 card? switching to/from evolution, opera etc. seems a bit sluggish as the windows is redrawn.
[12:09] <Quash> rcarr: I tried the Altnerate CD and the text was working, but I didn't want to wipe my HD and then find, at the end, I end up with the same black screen at GDM Login with no Breezy to boot back in to.
[12:09] <marcrosoft> wweasel, that messed it up worse
[12:09] <variant> junky: killall esd/artsd etc
[12:09] <marcrosoft> wweasel, getting Segmentation fault (core dumped) ... now for anything to do with apt
[12:09] <b03nto> how do i get rid off hibernate button in gnome poweroff menu ?
[12:10] <rcarr> Quash: You can partition stuff in the alternate install Cd the same as in the live CD
[12:10] <wweasel> marcrosoft: Crap. I didn't want to suggest that straight off because it was slightly different from your error message. Did you make a backup of your original file before overwriting it?
[12:10] <rcarr> Quash: I think the menu item is "Manually Edit Partition Tables", it's a bit more cumbersome because you have to manually enter sizes and stuff, but not so bad
[12:10] <tempted> woop... i still love dapper :)
[12:11] <Quash> rcarr: yes, I've burned myself with partitioning a couple of times before so am a bit gunshy.
[12:11] <marcrosoft> wweasel, normally i do.. but i didn't think it would mess it up that badly
[12:11] <Quash> rcarr: off to try this at black screen...
[12:11] <Quash> rcarr: alt + ctrl + F6
[12:11] <Quash> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:11] <junky> variant: thx, ive been able to unload my mod, but even if i selected my other snd card in system->prefs->sound, im getting errors
[12:11] <Quash> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:11] <Quash> Then control+alt+f7 to go back to GDM
[12:11] <ianmacgregor> Quash: Yes, that will reconfigure X and restart it
[12:12] <wweasel> marcrosoft: erg..I don't know what to tell you and I wish I could help, but that's uncharted territory for me.
[12:12] <Quash> rcarr: If nothing comes up when I do Ctrl + Alt + F6 at black screen, what should I do?
[12:12] <godmachine81> you having xorg update problems from dapper to edgy
[12:12] <godmachine81> or something?
[12:12] <marcrosoft> wweasel, well thanks anyways..
[12:12] <marcrosoft> brb
[12:12] <rag> how to emulate old games
[12:12] <rcarr> Quash: If nothing comes up when you press ctrl+alt+f6 then it's a pretty serious crash, stick with the alternate CD if that happens
[12:12] <rag> with DOSEMU?
[12:13] <Quash> rcarr: it's reconfiguring X from the CD and re-starting the CD without touching my installed Breezy?  okay.
[12:13] <ianmacgregor> Quash: You can CTRL+ALT+F6 now and see what it looks like and then CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back here. it just takes you to tty6 and back, doesn't hurt anything
[12:13] <rcarr> Quash: Yeah, won't touch breezy
[12:13] <rag> please if somebody know links for games, old games and good games, please say me!!!
[12:13] <rcarr> Quash: It doesn't restart the CD though, it just restarts the GUI
[12:13] <rag> my customer need it a lot,
[12:13] <rcarr> Quash: But, you can upgrade to edgy, from within breezy, with no CD involved
[12:13] <rcarr> Quash: That might be an option for you as well
[12:13] <Quash> rcarr: just tried F6 F7 now.  Thanks.
[12:14] <wweasel> marcrosoft: Hold up a sec, it seems like that shouldn't have changed anything. Fink (the software the link I sent you was about) is for Mac OS X. /sw/var etc. doesn't exist. so if you followed the "solution" it proposed, it shouldn't have changed anything on your computer
[12:14] <Tokenbad> when I restarted proftpd I got this:  - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'FuckYou-desktop' error: Name or service not known  :  Can anyone tell me what this means?
[12:14] <Tokenbad> anyone help with proftpd?  I had account setup and working and now all of a sudden he can't get in...not just him but had others try to help with it...I then deleted the account and reinstalled and still can't get in...
[12:14] <ianmacgregor> rag: This should keep you busy for a while: http://www.happypenguin.org/
[12:14] <Quash> rcarr: Yes, that's what I actually want to do.  breezy > dapper > edgy within OS.  But, I wanted to make sure I had a workable CD first, in case something blew up, as I read that it often does. =
[12:15] <rag> ianmacgregor, thanks ian!
[12:15] <ianmacgregor> rag: You're welcome :)
[12:15] <fabio_> a question, how can i set permission on shared directory? i view it with network browser of ubuntu...where it mount those directory?
[12:15] <Quash> rcarr: I always like to be able to start from scratch from CD, if I have to.
[12:15] <Seveas> fabio_, that's not mounted
[12:15] <sipher> Ok, I screwed up bad and need some help. Installed Ubuntu but it created 2 partitions instead of one each sized at 50 gigs.. which I didn't want (I wasn't paying attention).. so like a dumbass I deleted them from win and now Grub wont let me boot. Everyone told me to boot from the XP CD and do fixmbr but it wont let me boot from that one.. I can only boot from Ubuntu's CD. How do I fix it? :S
[12:15] <somewhere> !repositories
[12:15] <Sir_Brizz> is it okay to dist-upgrade from Breezy to Edgy?
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <rcarr> Quash: Ah, ok well good luck
[12:16] <LjL> sipher: boot from the ubuntu CD, do a reinstall (with the proper partition you want to end up with, this time), and you'll have grub again
[12:16] <Quash> ianmacgregor: thanks for letting me know I could F6 F7 now.  Didn't realize it.
[12:16] <fabio_> seveas: and how can change permission? i need to set execution
[12:16] <ianmacgregor> Quash: :)
[12:16] <Seveas> fabio_, you can't
[12:16] <Quash> rcarr: thanks for the helpful advice.  I'll try now.  Your thorough help has been very much appreciated.  :)
[12:16] <Seveas> and you can't execute things from network things you browse that way
[12:17] <sipher> LjL: Ok, I'll try it.. thanks
[12:17] <rag> ianmacgregor, and games packs for ubuntu?
[12:17] <jrib> Sir_Brizz: it is recommended that you do not skip releases.  You should go breezy > dapper > edgy
[12:18] <rag> do you know games packs for ubuntu?
[12:18] <xipietotec> I have a big problem...I'm updating from dapper to edgy....but it just stopped the upgrade due to dependancy errors.
[12:18] <fabio_> they are video...i need to execute it in my ubuntu...i can't every time copy it in this pc and then lunch it
[12:18] <ianmacgregor> rag: I can only recommend going into Synaptic and diong a search for games.. since I don't install anyting that isn't in the repos
[12:18] <Quash> rcarr: thanks, rcarr.  I'm rebooting to try now.
[12:18] <somewhere> My system is totally effed. How can I reinstall the whole thing using Synaptic or apt?
[12:18] <ianmacgregor> rag: Actually, do a search for games in synaptic, there are tons of them there in the repos
[12:19] <Quash> rcarr: thanks very much. l8r.
[12:19] <ianmacgregor> somewhere: Might it be a better idea to see if someone here can help fix the problems you're having rather than re-install the OS?
[12:19] <rag> ok yeah
[12:19] <rag> www.ubuntugames.org! is good
[12:19] <ianmacgregor> rag: Excellent, didn't know that one
[12:19] <xipietotec> seriously, If anyone can help, I'm stuck and cannot upgrade to edgy, as I came up with too many dependancy errors not even half-way through the install.
[12:20] <junky> variant: any idea why i cant root@troy:/home/junky# rmmod snd_ca0106
[12:20] <junky> ERROR: Module snd_ca0106 is in use
[12:20] <xipietotec> help?
[12:20] <jrib> xipietotec: try pastebinning your errors, maybe someone can suggest soemthing
[12:20] <xipietotec> okay, hold on
[12:20] <junky> no art or esd process are currently running
[12:21] <piglit> ik ga slapen
[12:22] <gyoffi> bye
[12:23] <phire> So, When is the final of Edgy going to be released?
[12:24] <variant> phire: 26th
[12:24] <variant> junky: yeah, kill esd or whatever
[12:24] <variant> junky: you can use the fuser command to find whats holding it open.
[12:24] <variant> im off to bed now
[12:24] <variant> night all
[12:24] <junky> variant: night and many thx for today
[12:25] <xipietotec> okay, here's a small chunk of the errors I'm getting from trying to update to edgy: http://ubuntu.pastebin.ca/216006
[12:25] <snikker> anyones have experience with vmware?
[12:25] <variant> junky: np
[12:25] <phire> varient: damm, same day xtra 'upgrades' ADSL and the internet will crawl to a halt
[12:25] <xipietotec> as far as I can tell it's a repetitive error that's causing it to not install.
[12:25] <Seveas> xipietotec, try this: dpkg --configure -a
[12:26] <Seveas> xipietotec, then apt-get -f install
[12:26] <Seveas> then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:26] <LjL> snikker: i've used the packaged player.
[12:26] <Seveas> then apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:26] <ianmacgregor> Seveas: What do each of those commands do?
[12:26] <ianmacgregor> I been meaning to ask this
[12:26] <marcrosoft> so every time i try to install something with apt.. I'm getting "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" it looks like I might need to reinstall apt... how can i do this?
[12:26] <Tarkus> would anyone here recommend the x64 version over the x86 version of ubuntu?
[12:27] <snikker> LjL: i've got a troubble with server version...
[12:27] <Seveas> ianmacgregor, try to configure half installd packages, fix dependency errors, install ubuntu0desktop to be sure, do a dist-upgrade
[12:27] <xipietotec> trying now Seveas thankyou =)
[12:27] <LjL> snikker, i haven't used that one.
[12:27] <ianmacgregor> Seveas: Ahh, thank you
[12:27] <vge> is there a way to start xubuntu install without graphic interface?
[12:27] <LjL> vge: use the Alternate CD
[12:27] <mjr> Tarkus, if you don't mind the proprietary software that will be more difficult to run, sure
[12:28] <vge> LjL: so there is no way with the other?
[12:28] <iMax> hi
[12:28] <LjL> vge: no, i don't think so.
[12:28] <Lam_> how does kde handle hidden folders?  gnome does it by a dot prefix
[12:28] <xipietotec> err..... the dpkg --configure -a quit because of dependancy problemw
[12:28] <xipietotec> problems
[12:28] <LjL> Lam_: Linux in general uses the convention of hiding files that being with a dot.
[12:28] <ianmacgregor> Lam_: the "." is a Linux thing, KDE does it too
[12:29] <snikker> LjL: ok
[12:29] <Seveas> xipietotec, then apt-get -f install
[12:29] <Lam_> how come the folders in root are all hidden in kde?
[12:29] <Seveas> xipietotec, and paste the output at paste.ubuntu-nl.org please (pastebin.ca is almost unreadable, stupid black on blue)
[12:29] <tjb891>  is there a way to see the  pictures in peoples profiles in gaim?
[12:29] <rcarr> Lam: They aren't hidden, konqueror isn't showing them because your user account doesn't have write access to them
[12:29] <xipietotec> what's the -f do?
[12:30] <LjL> Lam_: you're using Edgy, correct?
[12:30] <Lam_> yes :)
[12:30] <jrib> tjb891: what protocol?  wfm with aim users
[12:30] <Lam_> is there a way to make konqueror show them then, but keep hidden folders hidden?
[12:30] <tjb891> yeah, the aim proctocol
[12:30] <rcarr> Lam: It's new in edgys version of konqueror, presumambly, I am not sure how to disable it
[12:30] <sipher> Install isn't giving me the option of resizing current partitions and making new ones now.. all it gives me is "Erase entire disk.." :S
[12:30] <Seveas> xipietotec, fix
[12:30] <xipietotec> ah, simple enough
[12:30] <Lam_> rcarr: ok thanks. i'll ask in +1 then
[12:30] <rcarr> Lam: You can still get to them by typing out the path...I don't use konqueror for file browsing though, so no clue
[12:30] <jrib> tjb891: should just work, their buddy icon should show up in the corner of the message window
[12:31] <LjL> Lam_: then join #ubuntu+1. anyway, either Edgy or KDE 3.5.5 (not sure which one is responsible) has made most folders hidden by default in dialogs and file browsers. in dialogs, you can right click and choose to view all files - in konqueror i'm not sure
[12:31] <wobbler> duane, hello
[12:31] <tjb891> jrib:no i mean in there profile it dosen't display the pictures, only text
[12:31] <Senesence> Is there any way to have the same "Background Transparency" effect option in Gedit or Vim like the one in Xterm?
[12:31] <jrib> tjb891: oh, I didn't even know that was possible
[12:31] <tjb891> it is in the AOL version
[12:32] <Seveas> LjL, kde
[12:32] <_ion> When i want to do a server installation with RAID+LVM, should i choose the alternate CD or the server CD? I'm assuming the alternate install CD, but i'd like to make sure.
[12:32] <jrib> tjb891: maybe #gaim can help you out.  Be sure to ask tehre as well
[12:32] <Seveas> LjL, there's a .hidden_files in /
[12:32] <xipietotec> that seems to be working better
[12:33] <maxflax> attention ... support is needed
[12:33] <LjL> Seveas: hold on - you mean that a *KDE specific* feature puts a file in the root folder? (it's ".hidden" by the way, apparently) - if so, that doesn't sound good to me
[12:33] <Seveas> LjL, yes I mean that
[12:33] <LjL> maxflax: we are all ears
[12:33] <Seveas> and like many things in KDE: It sucks
[12:34] <ianmacgregor> I knew there was a reason I didn't use it
[12:34] <maxflax> LjL, it's about sound. Alsa drivers to be exact.
[12:34] <LjL> Seveas: i won't bother disagreeing... but they definitely could put it somewhere in /etc or /usr/share or whatever
[12:34] <Lam_> just a general question.  what's the best way to organize an extremely large music collection?
[12:34] <LjL> (or the user's home, for that matter)
[12:34] <LinuxGuy2006> when I install Sun Java JRE, do I need to install Sun Java JDK for it to work?
[12:34] <Seveas> xipietotec, purge usplash-theme-kubuntu
[12:34] <Seveas> LinuxGuy2006, no
[12:34] <LinuxGuy2006> thanks
[12:35] <Senesence> Is there any way to enable transparency in Gedit or Vim? I want to have the same effect in one of those two apps as the "Transparency" on the terminal window.
[12:35] <xipietotec> Seveas: thankyou! but how would kwin and kdesktop survive?
[12:35] <Seveas> xipietotec, because they don't depend on kdm
[12:35] <BlueN1nja> I believe I've found a bug with F-Spot's 'web gallery' feature...
[12:35] <Seveas> Senesence, with compiz or berylyou can
[12:35] <LjL> xipietotec, kwin and kdesktop in no way depend on KDM... they do depend on the KDE libraries though. you might want to remove kdelibs4, if you want all KDE programs to go away
[12:35] <Senesence> Seveas: No default options for that?
[12:35] <Seveas> Senesence, no
[12:36] <maxflax> LjL, I wonder how one installs the newer version of alsa-base. the one in apt is 1.0.11 and the newest stable is 1.0.13.. and I wonder if I install the newer ones.. are they compatible with ubuntu and how do I do it...
[12:36] <xipietotec> no, not all kde programs, I like quite a few of them, I was just concerned that it was still trying to boot kde every time I loaded up, and would cause ...heh...dependency issues
[12:37] <BlueN1nja> Is there anyone here that's working on F-Spot for Edgy?
[12:37] <ianmacgregor> BlueN1nja: You might also ask in #ubuntu+q
[12:37] <LjL> maxflax, you'd probably need to recompile your kernel and use other black magic to achieve that. if the current drivers work, i'd advice leaving them as they are. if they don't, then there's still not much i'd be able to tell you, except for giving you a couple of pointers about kernel recompiling
[12:37] <ianmacgregor> *+1
[12:37] <BlueN1nja> ianmacgregor: will do. Thanks.
[12:38] <erik__> Hey- Question about flash 9 beta on edgy- I have tried a couple of tutorials, But both crash when I test it with youtube. Firefox just closes... It's a fresh edgy install.. Known issue? (P3 1.2Ghz IBM T23 btw)
[12:38] <LjL> xipietotec, if you choose a Gnome session from your login manager (whether it's KDM or GDM), you'll boot Gnome. that the usplash still says "Kubuntu" doesn't really mean anything -- though you can change that if you want
[12:39] <ianmacgregor> erik__: You might also ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:39] <maxflax> LjL, so I must recompile the linux-kernel.. why is that.. isn't it the alsa-base drivers that need recompilation?
[12:39] <xipietotec> LjL, cool I'll make it go away after I upgrade =) (I wasn't very fond of kde's window management setup...but many of the programs are good)
[12:39] <BlueN1nja> ianmacgregor: #ubuntu+q isn't a channel
[12:40] <BlueN1nja> (sorry if I'm missing something)
[12:40] <ianmacgregor> BlueN1nja: Yeah, typo, sorry, it's #ubuntu+1
[12:40] <LjL> maxflax, the alsa-base package doesn't contain kernel modules as far as i can see, but still i wouldn't upgrade a part of ALSA without upgrading all of it, i think
[12:40] <BlueN1nja> ianmacgregor: thanks
[12:40] <junky> root@troy:/home/junky# play 03.wav
[12:40] <junky> ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
[12:40] <LjL> xipietotec: what do you mean by window management setup?
[12:40] <erik__> ianmacgregor: I will. Thanks!
[12:40] <junky> how can i use card 1 instead of card 0 ?
[12:40] <crimsun> maxflax: alsa-base contains only the infrastructure for using alsa-driver.
[12:40] <maxflax> LjL, so a part of the alsa is implented to the linux kernel?
[12:41] <crimsun> junky: asoundconf list
[12:41] <junky> root@troy:/home/junky# asoundconf list
[12:41] <junky> Names of available sound cards:
[12:41] <junky> CA0106
[12:41] <crimsun> maxflax: Linux 2.6 includes ALSA (properly known upstream as alsa-kernel)
[12:41] <crimsun> junky: asoundconf set-default-card CA0106
[12:41] <junky> that the exact card i wanna use.
[12:41] <xipietotec> LjL: KDE looks like windows =P
[12:41] <LjL> maxflax: the low level drivers are
[12:41] <crimsun> maxflax: there's also an external tree known as alsa-driver
[12:41] <maxflax> crimsun, ok! so compiling the 1.0.13 won't help me much then
[12:42] <b03nto> Is there any way to make gnome use suspend2 instead of whatever it uses now (when I select "Hibernate this computer" in the logout menu)?
[12:42] <XVampireX> Hey
[12:42] <xipietotec> and I didn't like the way it sorted through things and such.
[12:42] <crimsun> maxflax: depends what your sound issue(s) is(are)
[12:42] <XVampireX> Anyone using liferea?
[12:42] <ianmacgregor> XVampireX: I am
[12:42] <agent> what is the binary file /pup001? google says its from puppylinux distro, but what is it doing in ubuntu?
[12:42] <crimsun> maxflax: in-Linux ALSA lags external alsa-driver; the latter is synced to the kernel only every so often
[12:42] <XVampireX> iamtheobject, how do I add blogspot feeds to it?
[12:42] <junky> crimsun: thx, thats the exact stuff i was trying to do!!!!
[12:42] <XVampireX> iamtheobject, for example this one: http://freegamer.blogspot.com/
[12:43] <iamtheobject> why me
[12:43] <maxflax> crimsun, well.. my problem are that alsa don't detect my digital soundcard.. only the analog part.. and I want to be able to use the spdif
[12:43] <XVampireX> iamtheobject, nevermind :P
[12:43] <XVampireX> iamtheobject, thanks anyways :P
[12:43] <iamtheobject> :-)
[12:43] <ianmacgregor> XVampireX: Feeds -> New Subscription ?
[12:43] <XVampireX> lol
[12:43] <XVampireX> sorry
[12:43] <crimsun> maxflax: cat /proc/asound/devices
[12:43] <iamtheobject> I don't even know whats goin on man
[12:43] <ianmacgregor> iamtheobject: tab completion bit him, lol
[12:43] <XVampireX> sorry
[12:43] <iamtheobject> ah ahahaha
[12:43] <iamtheobject> its okay dude
[12:43] <iamtheobject> :-)
[12:44] <iamtheobject> I do it too sometimes
[12:44] <XVampireX> Yeah, xchat is not particularly cool about tab completion I see
[12:44] <LinuxGuy2006> what is the Java JDK for?
[12:44] <jrib> LinuxGuy2006: developing java apps
[12:44] <LinuxGuy2006> oh, ewww
[12:44] <maxflax> crimsun, that only shows 1 playback device..   4: [ 0- 0] : digital audio playback
[12:44] <ianmacgregor> LinuxGuy2006: lol
[12:45] <LinuxGuy2006> java sucks
[12:45] <crimsun> maxflax: which driver are you using?
[12:45] <maxflax> crimsun, alsa-base 1.0.11
[12:45] <plmoki> uhh who said java sucks?
[12:45] <crimsun> maxflax: no, which sound driver?
[12:45] <maxflax> crimsun, the one in edgy
[12:45] <crimsun> maxflax: cat /proc/asound/modules
[12:45] <LinuxGuy2006> I will use as little JRE as nessicary to run FrostWire
[12:45] <LinuxGuy2006> no JDK or Source
[12:46] <maxflax> crimsun,  0 snd_hda_intel
[12:46] <junky> ive to go, problems solved, many thanks again crimsun, ya solved something i was working for like 6 hours!
[12:46] <LinuxGuy2006> I like the java-free design of GTK-Gnutella, but its not intuitive
[12:46] <crimsun> maxflax: tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
[12:46] <xipietotec> I know you can retheme kde LjL but the default looks like windows...and I didn't see it do anything particularly better than gnome
[12:46] <xipietotec> =P
[12:47] <plmoki> i dono man, i really like java
[12:47] <maxflax> crimsun, 0: Realtek ALC880
[12:47] <crimsun> maxflax: then yes, you need to compile alsa-driver-1.0.13. I've already fixed the spdif issue upstream. A newer post-release Edgy kernel will have them.
[12:47] <LjL> xipietotec: maybe, and since i'm a kde user i'm probably biased - but i just don't understand it when people people run Gnome and then mainly use KDE programs, or vice versa for that matter.  if it's just a matter of looks, you can (easily) change the looks.
[12:48] <LjL> xipietotec: if you'd replied "because KDE misses such and such features", i'd have kept quiet, but if it's just "because KDE looks like windows", come on, that's quite a weak justification =)
[12:48] <Lam_> does linux have a means to detect an imminent hard drive failure before it fails?
[12:48] <LinuxGuy2006> and does anyone else get errors when installing totem-gstreamer-firefox plugin
[12:48] <maxflax> crimsun, Im new to linux.. so what u are saying is.. there is already a kernel compiled for the issue. and 1.0.13 is compatible with it?
[12:48] <LjL> Lam_: sudo apt-get install smartmontools
[12:48] <Lam_> LjL: thanks
[12:49] <curt_> evening folks
[12:49] <LinuxGuy2006> LjL: I use GNOME so :-P
[12:49] <curt_> anyone here familiar with xgl?
[12:49] <LjL> !xgl > curt_
[12:49] <iamtheric> enlightenment is a great wm
[12:49] <curt_> har har
[12:50] <jbmigel> emacs does window manager kinda
[12:50] <maxflax> crimsun, and that I have to compile the 1.0.13 from source and do a make install?
[12:50] <xipietotec> LjL: actually I mainly use common applications, but I didn't like the way kde navigates through folders and such, plus it seemed to run slower, but I do use some of the programs. =)
[12:50] <LinuxGuy2006> and does anyone else get errors when installing totem-gstreamer-firefox plugin
[12:50] <ianmacgregor> emacs is a nice OS, hopefully someone will write a decent editor for it o.O
[12:50] <RogerBacon> try easyubuntu
[12:50] <crimsun> maxflax: alsa-driver-1.0.13 only, yes.
[12:50] <LinuxGuy2006> ewwww
[12:51] <jbmigel> LinuxGuy2006 i think everyone uses the mplayer plugin. why dont you?
[12:51] <jbmigel> heh ianmacgregor
[12:51] <LinuxGuy2006> mplayer, isnt that the one that runs in text-mode
[12:51] <eck0> hey i got everything working finally, but now i cant use my mic
[12:52] <plmoki> it can
[12:52] <marcrosoft> can you change where ubuntu gets its files... apt is downloading very slow
[12:52] <spdf> marcrosoft, Yep
[12:52] <eck0> ghow do i fix that?
[12:52] <jbmigel> LinuxGuy2006 er you can control it from command line if you need, but it's firefox plugin workws fine for me
[12:53] <maxflax> crimsun, ok.. that is fairly easy. do I compile all the other packages too.. like alsa-utils and such? And do I leave the old alsa-base or do I uninstall those first before make install the 1.0.13?
[12:53] <marcrosoft> spdf, do you have to change each one in the source file... ?? and is there a list of fast ones?
[12:53] <LjL> ianmacgregor: http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/RZ/software/emacs/evi/evi_1.html
[12:53] <spdf> marcrosoft, I haven't found a list online. The one I'm using is in the 400-500kb/s range.. I'll pastebin it for you
[12:53] <marcrosoft> spdf, cool thanks
[12:54] <javierss> hi
[12:54] <eck0> anyone know how come my mic wont work on linux but fine on windoze

[12:54] <DarthVineman> Can anyone help me with gstreamer?
[12:55] <DarthVineman> Im having problems updating it
[12:55] <crimsun> maxflax: leave it. Only compile alsa-driver.
[12:55] <ubuntu> how can i do a ftp server between a ubuntu and a xp windows system
[12:55] <marcrosoft> spdf, cool thank you
[12:55] <eck0> so no1 knows why my mic wont work on linux but its fine on windows
[12:55] <javierss> i have problems whit my partition of windoze ,

[12:55] <eck0> hey thats my word lol
[12:55] <DarthVineman> Anyone know what I should do?
[12:56] <DarthVineman> Whats the correct thing so it will find the package?
[12:56] <LjL> !info gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

[12:56] <iamtheric> DarthVineman, apt-get unstall gstreamer
[12:56] <LjL> DarthVineman: you probably need to enable Universe.
[12:56] <iamtheric> DarthVineman, apt-get install gstreamer
[12:56] <ink251> ubuntu: apt-get install vsftpd
[12:57] <DarthVineman> Universe is enabled
[12:57] <ink251> ubuntu: then use internet explorer as your windows ftp client
[12:57] <LjL> DarthVineman: then run "sudo apt-get update" and try again.
[12:57] <ink251> ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx/
[12:57] <maxflax> crimsun, ok! alsa driver is the same as the alsa-base right? ..  I think there is a guide for compiling and installing alsa on their wiki.. is that a good one to follow?
[12:58] <maxflax> crimsun, http://alsa.opensrc.org/Quick+Install
[12:58] <crimsun> maxflax: alsa-driver is the name of the source package. alsa-base is one of several binary packages generated from the alsa-driver source package.
[12:58] <junky> crimsun: if my mute (vol+/-) on my keyboard doesnt work, any idea, what could be the problem?
[12:58] <plamoni> I am having an issue with gnome... I just did a fresh install of the Edgy beta (not the RC), I did an apt-get upgrade and now gnome seems to be broken... it takes forever to start up gnome, then when it finally starts, I get a message about the gnome-settings-daemon not responding
[12:58] <iamtheric> sorry
[12:58] <crimsun> junky: with your CA0106?
[12:58] <crimsun> junky: hotkey-setup issue. It only works by default for certain sound chipsets. The ca0106 driver doesn't support it by default.
[12:59] <Quash> rcarr: still there?  Just tried it and I'm back.
[12:59] <maxflax> crimsun, now I got confused! So how do I compile the alsa-driver.. is that the same as alsa-base?
[12:59] <randomguy> how can I burn an iso image?
[01:00] <LjL> !burn > randomguy
[01:00] <spdf> randomguy, gnomebaker or k3b will work
[01:00] <Caedmon> Any clue where I can download the linux-headers and build-essential packages for kubuntu 6.06 LTS?
[01:00] <randomguy> I want to mount an iso, sorry
[01:00] <LjL> Caedmon: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
[01:00] <LjL> !mountiso > randomguy
[01:00] <junky> so i should recompile it, with that option enabled, right?
[01:00] <randomguy> (cdrecord fails to burn in sao mode)
[01:00] <Caedmon> My bad
[01:00] <Caedmon> Without using Apt.
[01:00] <crimsun> maxflax: no, you grab alsa-driver from ftp.alsa-project.org and compile it.
[01:01] <jrib> Caedmon: packages.ubuntu.com
[01:01] <Caedmon> Because I have no net connection on my linux install
[01:01] <spdf> randomguy, mount /path/to/iso /path/to/empty/folder -o loop
[01:01] <eltech> is ther an easy way to create a *.rar archive in gui?
[01:01] <randomguy> spdf, I have to modprobe loop right?
[01:01] <jrib> Caedmon: I know build-essential should be on the cd though
[01:01] <LjL> !rar > eltech
[01:01] <Quash> anyone, I can't get in to the desktop when I boot the 6.10 RC CD/DVD?  can anyone help?
[01:01] <spdf> randomguy, atleast I think its that
[01:01] <jrib> Caedmon: the headers might be too
[01:01] <maxflax> crimsun, ok.. and follow the instructions in the INSTALL should be enough right?
[01:01] <capt-rogers> when your watching TV, and it is recording..it says it only records for 30 minutes...is that true, and why does mythtv do that?
[01:02] <Quash> I get an black screen after the boot splash, in the final moment when it goes in to the desktop.
[01:02] <lonran> hi
[01:02] <phire> hello
[01:02] <LjL> Caedmon: if they're not on the CD and you've got no network, then you'll need to go to packages.ubuntu.com and download from there. however, you need to take care of the dependencies manually (i.e. for every dependency listed, download it, and do the same for every dependency's dependencies, etc)
[01:02] <spdf> capt-rogers, Ask in #mythtv-users
[01:02] <xipietotec> heh....I wish the upgrade command had an indicator of just how many more programs were left to upgrade
[01:03] <lonran> where are the downloaded packets with apt-get stored?
[01:03] <crimsun> maxflax: essentially.
[01:03] <spdf> lonran, /var/cache/apt
[01:03] <LjL> lonran: /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:03] <randomguy> how can I apt-cdrom from a mounted iso?
[01:03] <lonran> thnks
[01:03] <iamtheric> DarthVineman, no need for version
[01:03] <Quash> can anyone help me with a install/boot graphics issue on the 6.10 RC cd?
[01:04] <iamtheric> lonran, hey
[01:04] <LjL> randomguy: "apt-cdrom -d=/mount/point/for/the/iso add" i would think
[01:04] <iamtheric> Quash, what display manager?
[01:04] <maxflax> crimsun, ok.. will try this.. and Im hoping for the best... btw.. what caused the error of the spdif?
[01:04] <LjL> randomguy: "apt-cdrom -m -d=/mount/point/for/the/iso add" possibly, to avoid having it try to mount it by itself
[01:05] <randomguy> thanks
[01:05] <Quash> iamtheric: I'm booting from the install CD.  default option, safe graphics option and using variou F4 VGA options.  The Ubuntu CD and DVD.
[01:05] <iamtheric> Quash, oh do you need a framebuffer?
[01:05] <Websterium> I'm having some difficulty getting machines using DHCP to accept the default domain I've set up in my dhcp3 server
[01:05] <eltech> actually .. that doesnt explain creating a .rar file
[01:05] <iamtheric> !rar
[01:05] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:05] <Websterium> Is it possible to send a default domain to search as part of a DHCP response? Or is this something that needs to be set up on each client
[01:06] <lonran> i have installed automatix for dapper and i have now edgy, how can i remove it using apt?
[01:06] <LjL> !automatix
[01:06] <ubotu> Automatix is an unsupported script that tries to automate the installation of some software. We don't provide support for it in the #ubuntu or #kubuntu channels, try #automatix thanks!
[01:06] <iamtheric> lonran, apt-get remove automatix
[01:06] <Quash> iamtheric: not even sure what I framebuffer is or how to use it.  Basically, the boot splash seems to chug along nicely, the the screen goes to its normal momentary black with blinking cursor before going in to the desktop.  Instead, my screen just goes black.
[01:06] <peeps> anyone here use skype?
[01:07] <Will> how do i get to SWAT?
[01:09] <iamtheric> Quash, maybe your monitor isnt supported by x
[01:09] <JonBoon> hmm, is there a special package i should install for audio on sites like youtube?
[01:10] <jbmigel> iamtheric do you know of nice howto for framebuffer/
[01:10] <tsoler> hi to all
[01:10] <Quash> iamtheric: First time in years I've ever had an issue with getting in to a LiveCD.  Anything I could do to get in through a different boot parameter to a standard monitor and then reconfigure, once in?  Would that be a solution?
[01:10] <iamtheric> jbmigel, no
[01:10] <tsoler> jbmigel
[01:10] <jbmigel> tsoler
[01:10] <tsoler> hi
[01:10] <jbmigel> hows it going d00d?
[01:10] <tsoler> good
[01:11] <tsoler> just a very essential question
[01:11] <tsoler> how can i reduce the clicks??
[01:11] <iamtheric> Quash, no idea
[01:11] <Will> how can i install the windows driver into samba so that when i want to connect it on a windows host it doesnt require a driver?
[01:11] <Quash> iamtheric: fair enough.
[01:12] <GhostFreeman> Whenever I use Azureus, it dosen't show up in the system tray like it used to do in previous releases. Anyone know why?
[01:12] <Will> (this is for a printer)
[01:12] <jbmigel> tsoler maybe you could only type with your left hand?
[01:12] <iamtheric> GhostFreeman, check azureus setting
[01:12] <GhostFreeman> which one?
[01:12] <spdf> GhostFreeman, It shows up in mine. Likely a config thing..
[01:12] <tsoler> is there a way to make lesser clicks?
[01:12] <GhostFreeman> your version <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:12] <spdf> GhostFreeman, <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:13] <tsoler> in onether terms how can i have automatic rollover menus?
[01:13] <GhostFreeman> oh
[01:13] <jbmigel> tsoler i dont understand. less clicks... do you mean your speakers are clicking all the time?
[01:13] <spdf> GhostFreeman, There is a config setting in Azurues to enable/disable the tray icon
[01:13] <GhostFreeman> and I have the system tray icon on, but its not there
[01:13] <spdf> GhostFreeman, Its enabled in Azurues's config?
[01:13] <tsoler> no i mean that it would be nicer for menus to rollover after i pass over
[01:14] <Spaceraverlinux> !pastebin
[01:14] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:14] <lucaferr> How do I get auto mount support for NIS based auto.master and auto.home?
[01:14] <tsoler> after two days of continusly working on ubuntu ive noticed : toooo many clicks
[01:15] <GhostFreeman> spdf: yes
[01:15] <Flannel> tsoler: that's why command lines are still popular
[01:15] <tsoler> doesnt anyone else have noticed?
[01:15] <Spaceraverlinux> can someone point me to the install log of dpkg and apt?? i need to pastebin those in order to solve a problem
[01:15] <tsoler> command lines are a fast otion
[01:15] <iamtheric> GhostFreeman, what window manager?
[01:15] <jbmigel> tsoler im still not sure... like you have to click your mouse... and your sad?
[01:15] <iamtheric> tsoler, use a different wm
[01:15] <tsoler> option
[01:15] <Flannel> Spaceraverlinux: /var/log/ then theres dpkg ones in there
[01:16] <iamtheric> tsoler, make your own menus
[01:16] <GhostFreeman> Metacity
[01:16] <tsoler> ???
[01:16] <tsoler> wm?
[01:16] <bimberi> Spaceraverlinux: /var/log/dpkg.log (apt doesn't log)
[01:16] <Spaceraverlinux> thx... brb Flannel
[01:16] <bruenig> wm = window manager
[01:16] <spdf> GhostFreeman, Which java runtime?
[01:16] <tsoler> two days spenting on ubuntu : all good one thin g to say :too many clicks
[01:17] <vryo> has anyone tried running Company of Heroes on Wine?
[01:17] <bruenig> I want to use thunar but I can't figure out how to integrate it in the system well enough so that things will open with it instead of nautilus
[01:17] <Tarkus> hey
[01:17] <GhostFreeman> V 1.5.0_06-b05
[01:17] <b03nto> Is there any way to make gnome use suspend2 instead of whatever it uses now (when I select "Hibernate this computer" in the logout menu)?
[01:17] <Tarkus> is it possible to install ubuntu using a usb drive? instad of booting from a cd?
[01:17] <tsoler> where is wm bruenig?
[01:17] <Flannel> !tell Tarkus about install
[01:17] <racter> so is there a difference between the server install on the xubuntu disc vs. the ubuntu disc?
[01:18] <Flannel> Tarkus: believe there's instructions on how to do that there
[01:18] <Flannel> racter: absolutely nothing
[01:18] <racter> flannel: thx
[01:18] <iamtheric> tsoler, enlightenment fluxbox blackbox xfce are all good wms
[01:18] <bruenig> tsoler, I don't understand iamtheric's point, I was just defining wm, you will have to ask him what he was getting at
[01:18] <bruenig> those won't reduce clicks though
[01:18] <GhostFreeman> spdf: did you get my  Java version
[01:18] <iamtheric> bruenig, menus are setup different
[01:19] <Spaceraverlinux> hm... the dpkg log does not state the problem i have... it's apt-get... :/
[01:19] <bruenig> iametheric, maybe. I only have used xfce out of that list and it wasn't too much better for amount of clicks.
[01:19] <spdf> GhostFreeman, Sun right?
[01:19] <GhostFreeman> yes
[01:20] <b03nto> anybody using suspend2 ?

[01:20] <Ruffles> hello there!
[01:21] <Ruffles> is it ok to remove the contents in /tmp/ ?
[01:21] <Spaceraverlinux> should i just paste the command window??
[01:21] <agent> Spaceraverlinux: if it's one line, paste in here... if its multiple lines in pastebin
[01:22] <agent> does anyone know what exact command finds out when is the appropriate time to do a fsck on boot?
[01:22] <spdf> GhostFreeman, Looks like its a known bug
[01:22] <Spaceraverlinux> ill put it in the pastebin anyhow
[01:22] <tsoler> iamtheric, do u know a wms with this function??
[01:22] <b03nto> !suspend2
[01:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:23] <Ruffles> is it ok to remove the contents in /tmp/ ? does anyone know?
[01:23] <GhostFreeman> it is?
[01:23] <GhostFreeman> You have a link to the entry?
[01:23] <spdf> GhostFreeman, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/42269
[01:23] <spdf> GhostFreeman, There's a workaround on there..
[01:23] <gnuyen> Hi guys
[01:23] <GhostFreeman> I'll give it a shot
[01:23] <GhostFreeman> Thanks again!
[01:23] <bruenig> !hi
[01:23] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:23] <cafuego> Ruffles: Not generally, no.
[01:23] <gnuyen> i'm reading the help.ubuntu.com information on installing a amd64 java plugin
[01:23] <gnuyen> and i'm not quite sure what it's saying
[01:23] <eltech> so there isnt a way to create a tar file
[01:24] <gnuyen> do i have to run a 32bit browser or not?
[01:24] <eltech> hmm
[01:24] <bruenig> gnuyen, yes
[01:24] <LjL> eltech: uh?
[01:24] <irc1> how do i get my mic to work?
[01:24] <LjL> eltech: tar --help | grep cf
[01:24] <riddlebox> is there any reason that dapper would be locking up on my system after about 10 minutes?
[01:25] <eck0> is it possible to accesss my windows drive thru linux
[01:25] <gnuyen> because it says "I installed j2re-1.4.2 today with the firefox plugin from multiverse and Java worked in Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> immediately without having to create manual links."
[01:25] <agent> !upstart
[01:25] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[01:25] <roblocop> exit
[01:25] <eltech> errm sorry i meant a rar file
[01:25] <Spaceraverlinux> here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27900/ someone kick me in the right direction
[01:25] <eltech> creating a rar file
[01:25] <iamtheric> tsoler, what?
[01:26] <eck0> does anyone know how to access my windows stuff on my other HDD
[01:26] <iamtheric> tsoler, if you use kde set it so that you can mouse over windows to raise them
[01:26] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, is it fat32??
[01:26] <eck0> nfts
[01:26] <eck0> or ntfs watever
[01:26] <gnuyen> is there anyway to install 32bit firefox
[01:26] <tsoler> i thin iam using gnome
[01:26] <Spaceraverlinux> that would be a big no no anyhow
[01:26] <LjL> eltech, you need to install the "rar" package rather than the "unrar" package
[01:26] <gnuyen> with apt?
[01:26] <eck0> you sure
[01:27] <tsoler> is it easy to make a transitition?
[01:27] <eck0> well can i burn my mp3's off windows, and put it on linux
[01:27] <Dr_willis> eck0,  you can mount the ntfs drives and access them .
[01:27] <arnieboy> Hi where can I get a comprehensive list of country based ubuntu repository mirrors ?
[01:27] <Dr_willis> eck0,  the default fstab entrys restrict the access to just the root user.. a edit of the fstab file changes that.
[01:28] <tsoler> gnome to kde??
[01:28] <eck0> how do i logon as root?
[01:28] <Spaceraverlinux> yes... ntfs is a very closed file system, accessing them is possible, but write support is not good or lacking
[01:28] <eck0> just use su?
[01:28] <LjL> !root > eck0
[01:28] <Dr_willis> eck0,  example fstab line -------->   /dev/hda5 /media/hda5     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[01:28] <Spaceraverlinux> yes
[01:28] <Dr_willis> !sudo
[01:28] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:29] <eck0> so to open my windows drive is kinda a bad thing cuz then if people hack in they can move rite to my other drive?
[01:30] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, use "sudo gedit etc/fstab
[01:30] <eck0> which does?
[01:30] <Spaceraverlinux> gedit is like notepad
[01:30] <spdf> eck0, If they wanted to.  I can't read german or whatever that is..
[01:33] <bruenig> Spaceraverlinux, translate?
[01:33] <LjL> danish
[01:33] <Spaceraverlinux> yes
[01:34] <Spaceraverlinux> line 17 says critical error file list for python glade2 is missing
[01:34] <eck0> nope im a noob to linux
[01:34] <YBH_1> turano_ubu, are you running it as root mode? it should pronpt you for a password.
[01:35] <Spaceraverlinux> some of is in english.. some danish... i wish they would have kept the command lines to english
[01:35] <eck0> does anyone know why my mic works in wondows but not linux?
[01:35] <spdf> Spaceraverlinux, Using Dapper?
[01:35] <Spaceraverlinux> yes
[01:35] <turano_ubu> YBH_1, I already do it
[01:36] <eltech> ljl thanks.. that was it
[01:36] <iamtheric> eck0, go figure
[01:36] <YBH_1> have you tried alsamiser use the arrow keys to find the mic and press m key to mute and unmute the mic then use sudo alstctl store
[01:36] <vryo> does anyone have experience setting up a server?
[01:36] <YBH_1> alsamiser =alsamiser
[01:36] <YBH_1> alsamiser =alsamixer
[01:36] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, lol
[01:36] <YBH_1> it's 1 of those days
[01:37] <Spaceraverlinux> oops
[01:37] <eck0> is it sumtin i did?
[01:37] <Spaceraverlinux> yes... it's monday...
[01:37] <XVampireX> or just double click the icon in the panel
[01:37] <eck0> like being stupid on sumtin
[01:37] <vryo> im having truble connecting to it
[01:37] <Spaceraverlinux> no sorry eck0... i was gonna say we are all noobs at linux... i am one too
[01:37] <Roger_The_Bum> will the edgy final release include firefox 2.0?
[01:38] <bododo> hi folks :)
[01:38] <eck0> o
[01:38] <spdf> Spaceraverlinux, Hmm, try apt-get update. and then try again
[01:38] <Flannel> Roger_The_Bum: the current edgy does, so yes
[01:38] <Spaceraverlinux> Roger_The_Bum, have you traversed the forums??
[01:38] <Roger_The_Bum> no
[01:38] <eck0> so no1 knows why my mic wont work
[01:38] <bododo> please give another reason to switch to ubuntu, the first being thier community :(
[01:38] <Roger_The_Bum> bododo: its ease of use
[01:38] <eck0> i like it
[01:38] <Spaceraverlinux> spdf, i tried that... just gives allmost the same error
[01:38] <eck0> can i not use rpm files?
[01:39] <melvin> i want to use xgl on my laptop is it easy to install????
[01:39] <bododo> Roger, I already use FC5
[01:39] <Flannel> melvin: #ubuntu-xgl
[01:39] <Flannel> eck0: you can, but using debs is better (because no conversion issues and the dependencies that come with that)
[01:39] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, you can... afaik you need alien to import them into ubuntu...
[01:39] <bododo> and i'm deeplu decieved by thier cmmunity
[01:39] <Roger_The_Bum> bododo: large packet repository///?
[01:39] <Roger_The_Bum> s/////.../
[01:39] <bododo> well my internet connexion is very slow
[01:40] <bododo> and ubuntu ships with the bare minimum
[01:40] <eck0> well the only downloads for most files are in .rpm
[01:40] <Roger_The_Bum> yeah
[01:40] <Roger_The_Bum> alien might be it
[01:40] <Spaceraverlinux> hmm... is there a way to force the samba version to install??
[01:40] <bododo> that's actually what keeps me from switching to ubuntu
[01:40] <eck0> is the porting?
[01:41] <Spaceraverlinux> bododo, what connection do you have??
[01:41] <bododo> 128kb/s
[01:41] <bododo> not even able to download stuff
[01:41] <bododo> i'm african by the way ;-)
[01:41] <Roger_The_Bum> ahh
[01:41] <Flannel> bododo: The DVDs have more packages, you might look into debian, they have all their packages available on CDs, ubuntu plans to, but it hasn't happened yet
[01:42] <bododo> and by the way sorry for my poor english, it's my 4th language
[01:42] <Peggerrr> I cant figure out why saslauthd will not start up   http://pastebin.ca/216120
[01:42] <Spaceraverlinux> bododo,  that aint much, but if you dont need much to download... just leave the system on over night
[01:42] <iamtheric> bododo, thats about it
[01:42] <iamtheric> eck0, you can with alien
[01:42] <concept10> anyone using beryl
[01:42] <Roger_The_Bum> ubuntu hasn't been around for longer than 2 years
[01:42] <Flannel> concept10: #ubuntu+1 or #beryl
[01:42] <Seveas> Roger_The_Bum, 2.5 years actually
[01:42] <Spaceraverlinux> hello Seveas
[01:42] <Roger_The_Bum> beryl?
[01:42] <bododo> thanks folks, but i'm really scared of time it needs to complete
[01:42] <concept10> Flannel, just asked if anyone was using it
[01:42] <eck0> were do i get it? got a link?
[01:43] <Flannel> concept10: right, people there have a better chance of using it ;)
[01:43] <eck0> im gonna go nuts without my mic lol
[01:43] <iamtheric> rpm is pretty convienient
[01:43] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, use the command line
[01:43] <eck0>  ./program.rpm you mean?
[01:43] <Roger_The_Bum> Spaceraverlinux: can't synaptic do the trick too?
[01:43] <Spaceraverlinux> type "sudo apt-get install alien"
[01:43] <spdf> Spaceraverlinux, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240699
[01:43] <bododo> your community is warm, that's what i firstly love above all
[01:44] <Roger_The_Bum> yeah
[01:44] <Roger_The_Bum> I use it as a heat source
[01:44] <eck0> what is apt-get?
[01:44] <Spaceraverlinux> i can... i just prefer apt-get
[01:44] <Roger_The_Bum> eck0: it's a package manager
[01:44] <eck0> ok says its all good
[01:44] <eck0> and if ineed gcc its sudo apt-get install gcc
[01:44] <Spaceraverlinux> the command line version of synaptic... more powerful...
[01:44] <Flannel> !tell eck0 about alien
[01:44] <iamtheric> !alien
[01:44] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[01:44] <bododo> Roger, well i'm a webdevelopper, the problem is that ubuntu shiped cd is ... say aimed for users desktop
[01:45] <bododo> without the servers...
[01:45] <Flannel> bododo: grab the server CD
[01:45] <Roger_The_Bum> bododo: isn't there a server install on there?
[01:45] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, exactly
[01:45] <bododo> Flannel, so, when I grab the server one can I install both?
[01:45] <eck0> ok ty
[01:45] <Flannel> eck0: build-essential is more complete, but gcc will get you gcc
[01:45] <tsoler> hey guys what is the differences between kde and gnome?
[01:45] <eck0> ill get the build stuff
[01:46] <Will> does anyone know of any sound drivers that will work with the CS4236 ?
[01:46] <Kyral> You'll need it
[01:46] <maxflax> crimsun, are u there?
[01:46] <Spaceraverlinux> spdf.. thanks
[01:46] <Peggerrr> ook I figured out why it was not starting but I am still getting this error when I try to do tls with postfix      cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory
[01:46] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: diffefent window managers
[01:46] <eck0> damn you guys are good
[01:46] <Peggerrr> what file is it looking for ?//
[01:46] <bododo> so, can i install both versions on the same OS?
[01:46] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: gnome comes with ubuntu
[01:46] <molinero> Hi bododo
[01:46] <Will> im not sure
[01:46] <spdf> Spaceraverlinux, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/samba/+bug/48082
[01:46] <Flannel> bododo: grab the alternate ISO, it comes with apache
[01:46] <bododo> Hi molinero :)
[01:47] <Spaceraverlinux> it's a common bug then
[01:47] <tsoler> so im using gnome
[01:47] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: yeah
[01:47] <bododo> Flannel, but then how 'bout the desktop side? i also need it
[01:47] <spdf> Spaceraverlinux, Yeh, looks like its been there for awhile
[01:47] <Flannel> bododo: alternate ISOs are the dekstops, with some additional packages (like apache, for instance)
[01:47] <tsoler> but what is the differences?
[01:47] <Kyral> tsoler: look and feel, GTK vs. Qt, personal opinions
[01:47] <Kyral> Also one of the Big Linux Holy Wars
[01:47] <bimberi> bododo: yes, you can run server and desktop packages on the same install
[01:47] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: I think gnome uses c while kde uses c++
[01:47] <eck0> im just ognna use wine lol
[01:47] <Kyral> Roger_The_Bum: WRONG :P
[01:47] <tsoler> i ask your personal opinion
[01:47] <bododo> Flannel, you suggest me to install the desktop version and then individually install the servers packages?
[01:48] <xipietotec> okay....upgrade to dapper went through except for 3 programs
[01:48] <eck0> emu some windows stuff like ventrilo etc
[01:48] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: quite honestly, I prefer gnome
[01:48] <Kyral> Roger_The_Bum: its more that GNOME uses the GTK widget kit and KDE uses Qt. Both GTK and Qt have bindings to many languages
[01:48] <tsoler> for me that i dont know much is a basic
[01:48] <Flannel> bododo: no.  download the 'alternate' iso, it has the desktop stuff, and apache etc on it.  then you install apache from the CD
[01:48] <ianmacgregor> !lamp > bododo
[01:48] <xipietotec>  mzscheme gtk-engines-eazel drscheme all returned errors
[01:48] <Kyral> tsoler: Just try both
[01:48] <bododo> alternate?
[01:49] <Kyral> tsoler: You can have both installed at once (Hell I have before)
[01:49] <bododo> it's not shiped?
[01:49] <Flannel> bododo: yes.  right.
[01:49] <Kyral> (Hell I have had all the WMs at once installed)
[01:49] <xipietotec> okay....reload.
[01:49] <tsoler> ive noticed that gnome takes me too many clicks
[01:49] <Roger_The_Bum> Kyral: ++++++++[>+++++++++<-] >.<++++[>+++++++<-] >+.<++[>+++<-] >+..+++.++++[>++++++++<-] >.<+++++[>++++++++++<-] >+++++.<<.+++.------.<+++[>---<-] >+ is this supported by gtk?
[01:49] <bododo> Flannel, but... my Internet speed :( poor me, it's but 128kb/s
[01:49] <Kyral> Roger_The_Bum: WTF?
[01:49] <spdf> tsoler, so you said...
[01:49] <Roger_The_Bum> Kyral: brainf*ck
[01:49] <iamtheric> Roger_The_Bum, debian has over 20000 packagees in its repo's by default
[01:49] <iamtheric> bododo, my connect is under 4kbps
[01:50] <Will> how do i install the ALSA drivers?
[01:50] <Kyral> Roger_The_Bum: Write bindings :P
[01:50] <Will> !ALSA
[01:50] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[01:50] <eck0> anyone know how to install wine? so i can use various windows stuff
[01:50] <Flannel> Roger_The_Bum: that'd be a BF interpreter, not in GTK nor QT, unless someone wrote a BF interface to QT
[01:50] <Juhaz> tsoler, largest difference is in philosophy. gnome tries to be simple with sane defaults, even if that sometimes limits choices, whereas kde has settings for everything, and then some
[01:50] <bododo> iamtheric!
[01:50] <tsoler> how can i test the kde environemnt?
[01:50] <maxflax> Im reading the INSTALL file for the alsa-drivers 1.0.13.. and on one row it says about make install : "If you have already a system with ALSA init script, you should install just only modules via 'make install-modules' so that the existing init script won't be replaced." I have alsa installed now but older version. should I only do a make-install-modules then?
[01:50] <zirjoker> !wine
[01:50] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:50] <Kyral> tsoler: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:50] <iamtheric> bododo, 128 would be godly for m
[01:50] <iamtheric> me^
[01:50] <Flannel> tsoler: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[01:50] <Kyral> I win :P
[01:50] <Flannel> tsoler: use aptitutde, since it'll make it easier to uninstall later if you choose to get rid of it
[01:51] <Flannel> Kyral: not if he wants to remove it ;)
[01:51] <Roger_The_Bum> tsoler: gksudo synaptic install kubuntu-desktop
[01:51] <Roger_The_Bum> because I'm contrarian
[01:51] <Roger_The_Bum> and/or confromist
[01:51] <bododo> iamtheric, it's 128 kilo bits per second
[01:51] <Kyral> Flannel: Aptitute works quite well with Apt-Get
[01:51] <Roger_The_Bum> s/ro/or
[01:51] <maxflax> And where is the init script? maybe I can do a backup on it before i install?
[01:51] <Spaceraverlinux> bododo, then i should not brag about my connection...
[01:51] <tsoler> that wiil install what ? only the wm?
[01:52] <bododo> Spaceraverlinux, no you shouldn't :)
[01:52] <Spaceraverlinux> tsoler, it will install the whole desktop
[01:52] <iamtheric> i wear flannel
[01:52] <Flannel> Kyral: apt-get won't remove the entire desktop thing when removes the meta package, aptitude makes that possible, he is just trying kde afterall
[01:52] <ianmacgregor> tsoler: That will install the KDE desktop environment
[01:52] <iamtheric> bododo, whats your average dl speed
[01:52] <iamtheric> ?
[01:52] <Kyral> Flannel: This is why I use Arch :P

[01:52] <Spaceraverlinux> ^what he said
[01:53] <tsoler> how much data is that?
[01:53] <iamtheric> bododo, why must you switch from redhat?
[01:53] <Spaceraverlinux> tsoler, you have capped dl??'

[01:53] <Kyral> and For The Record
[01:53] <tsoler> whats this:)?/
[01:53] <Kyral> GConf Sucks :P
[01:53] <Noob1> ok i need help i came in erler and asked if there was a way to get a gui on the server version and i was told yes and to type " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it did not work what shuld i try now
[01:53] <ianmacgregor> tsoler: I agree with Flannel. Installing kubuntu-desktop with synaptic will make it a pain to uninstall KDE should you not want it. Installing it with aptitude will make it easy to uninstall it later. However, the version of apt-get that ships with edgy will fix that little problem, thanks to the bug report I submitted.
[01:54] <Flannel> Kyral: take it somewhere else
[01:54] <jbmigel> howcome i cant get my framebuffer resolution above 1024x768? my monitor supports 1280x1024 when in X

[01:56] <Noob1> !gui
[01:56] <Spaceraverlinux> have you tried vlc??
[01:56] <Noob1> ok i need help i came in erler and asked if there was a way to get a gui on the server version and i was told yes and to type " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it did not work what shuld i try now
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gui - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:56] <Noob1> nothing loaded
[01:56] <bruenig> redsoxfan90, right click on the panel, and then click add to panel and then find the applet and click on it
[01:56] <slop|lap> Spaceraverlinux, no, but i think the problem is not the player...it doesn't pop up on the desktop when i insert a dvd
[01:56] <bododo> well it's very nice to meet you all guys and discover your world, be back for sure
[01:57] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: You want a dvd to popup in an app when you put the movie in the drive?
[01:57] <Spaceraverlinux> redsoxfan90, maybe ubuntu went out with the trash...
[01:57] <Flannel> Noob1: what error/response/etc did you get?
[01:57] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, i just want it to play dvds
[01:57] <spdf> slop|lap, So, You put the dvd in, load up Movie Player (totem), and it won't play?

[01:57] <eck0> but that site doesnt work

[01:58] <Noob1> comand bot found
[01:58] <eck0> wat does deb do?
[01:58] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: So, you don't want the movie auto play, but you want the app to popup on the desktop so you can play the movie???
[01:58] <slop|lap> it won't play dvds...and i don't think it's recognizing them, as i'm not getting a dvd icon on the desktop when i insert a dvd (like i do on both of my desktops)
[01:58] <bruenig> !deb
[01:58] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)

[01:59] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, no lol...it won't play dvds...i'm just mentioning that it doesn't pop up on the desktop as a clue to why it won't play...i'm thinking it might not recognize dvd's or something

[01:59] <spdf> slop|lap, do you have mplayer installed?
[02:00] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: Ok, here's how to get the icon to popup on the desktop. Applications -> System -> Configuration editor. Open that and let me know when it's open
[02:00] <redsoxfan90> ty bruenig!!!
[02:00] <redsoxfan90> cu all.
[02:00] <Spaceraverlinux> eck0, copy that list to your own repository list
[02:00] <Flannel> Noob1: pastebin your sources.list
[02:00] <Will> what does edgy run on GTK 1.X or GTX 2.X?
[02:00] <slop|lap> spdf, i don't think so...i have xine and totem that i know of
[02:00] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, ok , doing that
[02:00] <Spaceraverlinux> or overwrite it actually
[02:00] <spdf> slop|lap, if so, open up a terminal and "mplayer dvd://" and pastebin the output in the terminal..
[02:00] <Noob1> flannel how go i get to my sorces
[02:00] <tsoler> is kde installation only 40 kb???
[02:00] <Will> !GTK
[02:00] <ubotu> gtk is the gimp toolkit, which forms the base of Gnome and a lot of other applications
[02:00] <Flannel> Noob1: /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:00] <Noob1> and im on a diffrent computor
[02:00] <jrib> tsoler: no
[02:00] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: When the conf editor is open, go to the left pane and go to apps/nautilus/desktop
[02:00] <LjL> Will: current Gnome uses GTK 2
[02:01] <eck0> debhttp://wine.budgetdedicated.com/aptdappermain is what the site told me to use
[02:01] <spdf> slop|lap, Or, try totem dvd://
[02:01] <Spaceraverlinux> is edgy stable enough to play with??
[02:01] <eck0> but i put it in mozilla didnt work rite
[02:01] <Noob1> i got permission denied
[02:01] <Flannel> !tell eck0 about wine
[02:01] <bruenig> eck0, you have to add that to your sources.list
[02:01] <bruenig> eck0, you have to add that to your sources.list
[02:01] <Noob1> Flannel i got permission denied
[02:01] <tsoler>  i want to test which is better for me kde or gnome
[02:02] <Flannel> Spaceraverlinux: its final release will be this thursday, RC1 right now.  so... hopefully.  #ubuntu+1 would be the best place for real answers to that though
[02:02] <slop|lap> spdf, ok, it seems the problem is with libdvdcss2
[02:02] <eck0> and i do that how???
[02:02] <Flannel> Noob1: you need to open that in a text editor
[02:02] <slop|lap> spdf, i got this message in the GUI : The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[02:02] <tsoler> can anyone tellme how much trouble it is to make the transit
[02:02] <fatsheep> will dapper automatically update to edgy once it becomes officially supported?
[02:02] <slop|lap> spdf, but i have libdvdcss2 installed
[02:02] <spdf> slop|lap, Make sure
[02:02] <Noob1> im on the server virsion and im trying to get the gui i have no real idea how to do that Flannel
[02:02] <slop|lap> spdf, how?
[02:03] <bruenig> eck0, open a terminal and do gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, once in there just paste that line anywhere in it. Save. Then back in the terminal do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
[02:03] <Flannel> fatsheep: no, it'll ask you though
[02:03] <ianmacgregor> Juhaz: I am ssh'ing into another box where I have admin privs (sudo), how do I log out a user via command line on that other box?
[02:03] <fatsheep> ok cool
[02:03] <spdf> slop|lap, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[02:03] <Flannel> Noob1: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:03] <GhostFreeman> !lastfm
[02:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lastfm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:03] <GhostFreeman> thanks anyways ubotu
[02:03] <spdf> slop|lap, Should give you "libdvdcss2 is already newest version."
[02:03] <ianmacgregor> spdf: He may not have the repo for that
[02:03] <slop|lap> spdf, yup it's installed already
[02:03] <bruenig> !bot
[02:03] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots

[02:04] <SAM_theman> who wants to dual me in ET
[02:04] <Flannel> Noob1: you need to paste them into the pastebin
[02:04] <Flannel> !paste
[02:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:04] <Flannel> SAM_theman: #ubuntu-offtopic

[02:05] <eck0> i accidently clsoed it
[02:05] <xipietotec> okay...upgraded to edgy but now my wifi card doesn't work, I used ndiswrapper to get it working previously, how can I get it working now?
[02:05] <bruenig> you were in here when I said it I believe but of not, <bruenig> eck0, open a terminal and do gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, once in there just paste that line anywhere in it. Save. Then back in the terminal do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
[02:05] <Flannel> xipietotec: #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[02:05] <xipietotec> ah, kay
[02:05] <slop|lap> spdf, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27907/
[02:06] <spdf> slop|lap, hmm.. is your cdrom /dev/hdc?
[02:06] <Noob1> i got the server virsion off your website now i have it loaded but there is no gui with it... i did what some one told me to do and all i got was a blank page so i hit restart on my cpu and it loaded nothing... im new to linux so i dont know what to do... right now im on my windows so i can see what to do
[02:06] <tsoler> goodnight to all
[02:06] <spdf> slop|lap, Its looking for /dev/dvd, check to see if that exists
[02:06] <slop|lap> spdf, i'm not sure...i just installed...how do i check?
[02:06] <tsoler> here is too late
[02:07] <Flannel> Noob1: You can connect to IRC on the server version, 'irssi' is installed, and lynx is isntalled (thats a web browser)
[02:07] <tsoler> next time will see kde
[02:07] <spdf> slop|lap, run mount in the terminal
[02:07] <slop|lap> spdf, just did that, it doesn't list a dvd drive
[02:07] <spdf> slop|lap, it'll list all mounted volumes, You're looking for the one linked to /media/cdrom
[02:07] <rag> one easy question
[02:07] <Flannel> Noob1: anyway, is the computer connected to the internet? we really need more information other than "it didn't work" to diagnose the problem
[02:07] <slop|lap> spdf, its not mounted
[02:08] <spdf> slop|lap, mount /media/cdrom
[02:08] <coincoin169> helo to alla
[02:08] <Spaceraverlinux> rag, shoot
[02:08] <coincoin169> hello to all
[02:08] <rag> creative web cam support
[02:08] <coincoin169> scuz me
[02:08] <Noob1> well flannel dose the server version gave a gui
[02:08] <Spaceraverlinux> coincoin169, hello to you too
[02:08] <slop|lap> spdf, it says mount: No medium found
[02:08] <rag> Spaceraverlinux: creative web cam support
[02:08] <Flannel> Noob1: you can install a GUI, but no it does't have a GUI installed by default
[02:08] <spdf> slop|lap, Is there a dvd/cd in the drive?
[02:08] <slop|lap> spdf, there's definately a dvd in the drive
[02:08] <coincoin169> do i need to compile mesa or/and dri in order to install nvidia driver or all is included in the nvidia driver ???
[02:09] <Spaceraverlinux> Noob1, have you used startx??
[02:09] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: Run gmplayer, go to the prefs, go to the Misc tab and at the bottom, set your dirves up
[02:09] <Noob1> well can u tell me how to install a gui so i can just start all over
[02:09] <Noob1> Spaceraverlinux no
[02:09] <eck0> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:09] <eck0> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:09] <eck0> is only available from another source
[02:09] <eck0> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[02:09] <Noob1> i have no idea what that even is
[02:09] <rag> Spaceraverlinux: do you know links or package drivers for creative web cam?
[02:09] <Flannel> Noob1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop is how you install the GUI
[02:09] <bruenig> eck0, you added that repo and did "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine"?
[02:09] <Flannel> Noob1: unless you want to reinstall entirely, in which case download the desktop or alternate (I suggest the latter) to install
[02:10] <eck0> thats all 1 command i thought i was 2 klol
[02:10] <Spaceraverlinux> Noob1, might wanna try that... if you just installed the desktop it might not "just start"...
[02:10] <bruenig> eck0, it doesn't matter, doing seperate should do the same thing
[02:10] <eck0> same thing
[02:10] <rockzman> How do I activate my video card 3d Acceleration
[02:10] <eck0> says its not there
[02:10] <bruenig> eck0, you are sure you added that repo into /etc/apt/sources.list?
[02:11] <eck0> ya
[02:11] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, i can't...when i run it, it just locks up, doesn't even give me menus to click on or anythhing, just two blank boxes
[02:11] <bruenig> eck0, pastebin your sources.list
[02:11] <bruenig> !paste
[02:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:11] <eck0> its # deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
[02:11] <bruenig> eck0, you have to delete that #
[02:12] <eck0> ok 1  sec
[02:12] <jbmigel> Why wont framebuffer goto 1280x1024? my monitor supports it... but at boot I get "invalid number" @ vga=0x31A
[02:12] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: Are you using gnome with xgl or compiz?
[02:12] <Flannel> eck0: you probably don't want deb-src either, deb instead
[02:12] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, nope, just standard install
[02:12] <b08y> backports!
[02:12] <bruenig> eck0, also there should be another line in there that looks like this, deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
[02:12] <Noob1> well i had the desk top version
[02:12] <Spaceraverlinux> off to bed... nn all
[02:12] <Noob1> but i did not have all the stuff the server did
[02:12] <ianmacgregor> slop|lap: Did you install mplayer from the repos?
[02:12] <Flannel> Noob1: Right, you can install that later though
[02:12] <Noob1> ohh ok
[02:13] <slop|lap> ianmacgregor, yes
[02:13] <eck0> got it thanks man
[02:13] <Noob1> well ill install the desktop agan
[02:13] <Flannel> !tell Noob1 about lamp
[02:13] <Flannel> Noob1: that's how (the link ubotu gave you)
[02:13] <baxter_kylie> Hi. I have an LVM question: If I have a dev (/hda) with 4 partitions, is it possible to convert one of the partitions to be managed by LVM but leave the others as physical partitions?
[02:13] <ink251> how would I edit a packages source before installing it?
[02:13] <Noob1> ok
[02:13] <[Daniel] > Woo hoo! The printer works!
[02:14] <baxter_kylie> ink251: If you've downloaded the source it should be in /usr/src
[02:14] <Flannel> ink251: download the source package instead of the binary package
[02:14] <ink251> parallax: you do anything with basic stamps?
[02:14] <ink251> how would i set it to download the source instead of the binary?
[02:14] <Flannel> ink251: apt-get source [package]
[02:15] <Parallax> Basic stamps? I don't know a thing about them.
[02:15] <spdf> slop|lap, cat /proc/diskstats and pastebin that
[02:15] <baxter_kylie> ink251: What Flannel said.
[02:15] <ink251> oh, the company that makes them is parallax
[02:15] <Flannel> ink251: you'll also maybe need apt-get build-dep [package]  which will download the dependencies
[02:15] <bimberi> ink251: enable source repositories (deb-src lines in sources.list) if required
[02:15] <ink251> ok that helps, thanks
[02:15] <ink251> sometimes i like to tweak my programs a little
[02:15] <Parallax> Anyone know of any particular issues with the installation partioner in the latest release (of Ubuntu)?
[02:15] <slop|lap> spdf, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27908/
[02:16] <spdf> slop|lap, try mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
[02:16] <slop|lap> spdf, it returned "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[02:17] <timwizzy> Should is use Ubuntu or Debian for my apache, ftp, email server?
[02:17] <shriphani> guys getting some hardware here no need help
[02:17] <eck0> ok im tryng to install a program but not working great....
[02:17] <ianmacgregor> spdf: There's no file system on /dev/hdc
[02:17] <shriphani> should i get an amd or an intel
[02:17] <emacsen> How do I disable ryhtombox from turning on when I plug in my ipod?
[02:17] <spdf> slop|lap, mount /dev/hdc -t auto /media/cdrom
[02:17] <timwizzy> Can someome tell me, whats the deal with ubuntu not having a root logon?
[02:17] <ink251> tim: debian, you wont need all the user friendly features ubuntu has
[02:17] <bimberi> ubotu tell timwizzy about root
[02:17] <emacsen> timwizzy, you don't need it
[02:17] <slop|lap> spdf, same result
[02:17] <ianmacgregor> !sudo > ink251
[02:18] <ink251> tim: sudo passwd
[02:18] <ink251> once you set a password
[02:18] <ink251> and change the login settings
[02:18] <ianmacgregor> !sudo > timwizzy
[02:18] <ink251> you can login as root
[02:18] <ianmacgregor> ink251: Sorry about that
[02:18] <rodneyendor> timwizzy sudo bash
[02:18] <eck0> so were does stuff save that i dl with me putting it in a dir, like whats default dir
[02:18] <Flannel> ink251: no, there's no need.  Stop.  He's got sudo, he's wondering about sudo, not how to get a root login
[02:18] <ink251> ian: its cool
[02:18] <bruenig> eck0, what are you trying to do?
[02:18] <eck0> i downloaded a windows program to emu
[02:18] <ianmacgregor> ink251: Please don't tell people to set a root password, it isn't supported configuration
[02:19] <eck0> and were does it save ?
[02:19] <shriphani> emacsen, System -----> Preferences -------> Removable Drives and Media
[02:19] <engla> hi. How do I get more dictionaries? I installed dictd, but I want more that the available dictionaries from the repositories. for example is there a german-german dictionary?
[02:19] <Flannel> eck0: depends on how you downloaded it, and where that defaults to save it
[02:19] <bruenig> eck0, where did you save it when you downloaded it?
[02:19] <ink251> flannel: someone might find that information usefull, uber security is not a big deal among someone who would use ubuntu
[02:19] <eck0> it just auto saved
[02:19] <emacsen> shriphani, wow, that seems... random. Is that documented somewhere?
[02:19] <eck0> didnt let me choose
[02:19] <Flannel> ink251: right, but the root sudo page has that already.  Normal users who ask about root only do so because they don't know how sudo works.
[02:20] <shriphani> emacsen, thats the only way i know of
[02:20] <bruenig> eck0, it probably saves it in your home folder
[02:20] <shriphani> from there go to e multimedia tab
[02:20] <ink251> or they hate that prompt to login every time you change a a setting
[02:20] <baxter_kylie> ink251: Indeed. And the few of us that need root access for certain applications can usually get by with fakeroot
[02:20] <emacsen> shriphani, yeah I appreciate it. Just disconcerting to an old *nix user :)
[02:20] <Flannel> ink251: there are sudo solutions to that too, sudo -i or sudo -s
[02:20] <rodneyendor> sudo bash works for me
[02:21] <shriphani> at the bottom you should see a Portable Players option
[02:21] <shriphani> change the command to whatever you want
[02:21] <JamesT> Hello everyone
[02:21] <JamesT> anyone here?
[02:21] <eck0> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\LimeWireWin.exe": Module not found
[02:21] <ianmacgregor> JamesT: hi
[02:21] <robbi> Hi all,
[02:21] <emacsen> JamesT, yes, we're waiting for the question :)
[02:21] <JamesT> Hello
[02:21] <ink251> eck0: use gtk-gnutella
[02:21] <JamesT> I see
[02:21] <fnf> JamesT: yes ?
[02:22] <eck0> gtk?
[02:22] <timwizzy> How is the "First User" different to other users?
[02:22] <JamesT> is there a way to play battlefield 1942 on Ubuntu Linux?
[02:22] <JamesT> It's a game for windows
[02:22] <emacsen> timwizzy, it's added to all the groups
[02:22] <ink251> try apt-get install wine
[02:22] <brasko> anyone know how to get the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package installed?
[02:22] <ink251> then run the exe with wine
[02:22] <eck0> if its doesnt work on wine
[02:22] <brasko> I need it for the nomachine's nx client
[02:22] <eck0> u need WineX its like 5 am onth
[02:22] <timwizzy> emacsen: is that really the only difference.
[02:22] <emacsen> JamesT, maybe, if it works in Wine. Otherwise, no
[02:22] <robbi> I've got a Dell Dimension, and I just installed a Netgear MA311 (PCI) in it.  It also has an onboard Ethernet connector, and that is what I am using now.
[02:22] <shriphani> brasko, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:22] <bruenig> eck0, why don't you use a linux gnutella client?
[02:22] <fnf> JamesT: there is, but not guaranteed to work, try searching for wine package, or the commercial Cedega
[02:22] <timwizzy> How do i manage users and groups
[02:22] <Quash> Can anyone tell me how to boot in to the 6.10 Desktop CD with a vesa generic monitor command?  I can't boot in and think it may because Xorg doesn't recognize my Compaq P1100 monitor.
[02:22] <ink251> check out the wine applications database
[02:23] <eck0> im gonna
[02:23] <Parallax> JamesT, I'm not sure how far they've achieved in emulating DirectX, but that is a huge task for a game like that.
[02:23] <robbi> But the wifi card doesn't even
[02:23] <emacsen> timwizzy, what /exactly/ are you asking?
[02:23] <robbi> show up in Networking.
[02:23] <slop|lap> spdf, when i run regionset, i get this : ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"! Please ensure there is a readable CD or DVD in the drive.
[02:23] <brasko> is there any way to see what files will be installed from a given name like build-essential?
[02:23] <shriphani> so is am or intel better
[02:23] <shriphani> amd ^
[02:23] <brasko> before actually installing it?
[02:23] <slop|lap> spdf, i've done this with 3 different dvds
[02:23] <timwizzy> I read somewhere that the first user has special privlafges
[02:23] <JamesT> hmm... I really want to use linux but I need to be able to do everything I can do on a windows system
[02:23] <emacsen> timwizzy, yeah, it's added to the group so that it can run sudo
[02:23] <shriphani> brasko, it should list all the sff and then ask you if you wanna proceed
[02:24] <JamesT> I'm downloading the Ubuntu desktop cd now
[02:24] <Keyseir> Hey, I just ran dist-upgrade on my breezy badger system upgrading to dapper drake. After it finished and I restarted, X wouldn't start up, no GUI. Do I have to alter this "config" file? How?
[02:24] <ianmacgregor> timwizzy: Yes, the first user has admin privs. You can manage users and groups with: gksu users-admin
[02:24] <emacsen> JamesT, if by "everything" you mean running binaries, then forget it.
[02:24] <robbi> and I'm running 6.06.
[02:24] <Parallax> You can run a BF1942 server, but not the client game.
[02:24] <brasko> yes, sorry, I'm wondering what exactly will be installed in the filesystem, when installing a package.
[02:24] <JamesT> I see
[02:24] <brasko> like, when installing bash you'll see /bin/bash and /etc/profile, ...
[02:24] <emacsen> JamesT, that's like saying "I won't use Windows unless it runs my OSX apps"
[02:24] <brasko> is there a command to do that?
[02:24] <spdf> slop|lap, You're sure its a dvd capable drive?
[02:24] <slop|lap> spdf, yeah, it says DVD ROM on it :p
[02:24] <JamesT> Well that's not exactly what I meant to say
[02:24] <JamesT> I love linux and everything about it.
[02:25] <JamesT> I wish I could run it all the time
[02:25] <ink251> me too
[02:25] <brasko> actually, is there a way to do 'dpkg -L packagename', but before the package is installed?
[02:25] <JamesT> would you recommend running a dual boot system with windows xp and linux?
[02:25] <ink251> nah
[02:25] <JamesT> I have an extra HD to run it from
[02:25] <ink251> use wine to run windows apps
[02:25] <Keyseir> Could I please get some help? I upgraded breezy to dapper and now X won't load up
[02:25] <ink251> i just recently made the switch
[02:25] <eck0> dude u can run games on linux
[02:25] <eck0> if u got 5 a month
[02:25] <JamesT> Wine will run most windows apps?
[02:25] <Flannel> JamesT: Check winehq.com for compatability, see if whatever games are supported/etc
[02:25] <y0gibear> I'm running dual boot with xp, ubuntu is on my slave hd
[02:25] <ink251> and havent had to use windows since
[02:25] <JamesT> I see
[02:26] <Quash> Keyseir: I am having a very similar problem right now, but when I boot in from the Edgy CD my screen goes blank.  Could be the same thing.
[02:26] <spdf> Keyseir, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:26] <emacsen> JamesT, personally, now a days, I'd either run Wine, or I'd spend the money on another computer. For real work, there's nothing I can't do in my GNU/Linux system
[02:26] <JamesT> thanks for the help guys
[02:26] <ink251> most simple programs
[02:26] <JamesT> I'm really looking to start using linux more
[02:26] <ink251> some games
[02:26] <Quash> Keyseir: You may want to try this, first.  Didn't work for me, but could work for you...
[02:26] <JamesT> I want to get away from windows completely if possible
[02:26] <ink251> does networking pretty well
[02:26] <adioe3> How do I set the value of a variable to be the output of: date +%d-%M-%Y ????
[02:26] <Quash> Keyseir: alt + ctrl + F6
[02:26] <Quash> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:26] <Quash> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:26] <emacsen> JamesT, well, other than your game, is there anything else?
[02:26] <Quash> Then control+alt+f7 to go back to GDM
[02:26] <ink251> is it going to be on a desktop or a laptop
[02:26] <Keyseir> spdf: What about pastebin..?
[02:27] <eck0> james do you got 5 bucks a month you can pay?
[02:27] <ianmacgregor> JamesT: It's indeed possible. I haven't touched Windows in years.
[02:27] <skelter> Anyone have any experience getting SDL/openGL working with ubuntu?
[02:27] <rockzman> X Error of failed request:  GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
[02:27] <rockzman>  can someone tell me why is this error ocurring
[02:27] <Keyseir> Quash: Hm, ok
[02:27] <totall_6_7> JamesT: getting away from Windows totaly is a great feeling, trust me i know :D:D
[02:27] <JamesT> Yeah, that one disk download for the Ubuntu Desktop CD, if I want to permanently install Ubuntu as a second OS on my Windows system, can I do that directly from the Ubuntu CD I'm getting now?
[02:27] <Flannel> !tell JamesT about dualboot
[02:27] <JamesT> Or does it have to download more stuff during the install process
[02:28] <Flannel> JamesT: nope, what you have is fine.  See the link ubotu sent you for more information
[02:28] <Quash> spdf: do you know how to boot in to the CD/DVD with a vesa generic monitor option in the boot sequence?  I don't think Xorg recognizes my Compaq P1100 monitor.
[02:28] <eck0> i wonder if i can get eve-online to run thru wine
[02:28] <emacsen> JamesT, yes, but Windows gets funky about boot loaders. A few years ago it may have been worth it. I don't think it is anymore
[02:28] <ink251> you will want to download some more things to make it user friendly
[02:28] <eck0> or if i need cydego
[02:28] <ink251> but it will work find right off of the cd
[02:28] <ink251> jamesT, check out Beryl on google video
[02:28] <ink251> if thats not a reason to switch i dont know what is
[02:29] <Quash> ianmacgregor: do you know how to boot in to the CD/DVD with a vesa generic monitor option in the boot sequence? I don't think Xorg recognizes my Compaq P1100 monitor.
[02:29] <Parallax> Has anyone here installed an Ubuntu (server) on a RAID5 machine?
[02:29] <eck0> so were does wine put the dir for my stuff that i emu
[02:29] <bimberi> adioe3: var=`date +%d-%m-%Y`   (note that month is lowercase m, M is minutes)
[02:29] <ink251> ~/.wine
[02:29] <eck0> k
[02:29] <adioe3> tnx
[02:29] <JamesT> Would you guys say that Ubuntu is the best linux for a home user such as myself?
[02:29] <fnf> Quash: I'll want to take a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the Monitor section is probably screwed up. Try '#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' first.
[02:30] <JamesT> I like a lot of the features it offers
[02:30] <ink251> JamesT: its the best for making the windows/linux switch
[02:30] <emacsen> JamesT, I'd say it's the best GNU/Linux distribution for most users, yes
[02:30] <ianmacgregor> Quash: No, but it's quite easy to back up xorg.conf, edit it and restart X
[02:30] <duckdown> ubuntu is awesome for new users...
[02:30] <jrib> JamesT: it's a good distribution imo, but best depends on your individual needs and preferences
[02:30] <JamesT> The only other distro I was looking at is Fedora Core
[02:30] <Quash> ianmacgregor: I'm going fromt the CD, so can't edit.
[02:30] <duckdown> JamesT i tried fedora before ubuntu.. i love ubuntu way more
[02:30] <JamesT> Since I am familiar with Red Hat command line
[02:30] <skelter> JamesT: I have both fedora and ubuntu. i recommend ubuntu. it's a lot nicer
[02:30] <emacsen> JamesT, for just a regular user, it's probably the best you'll find.
[02:31] <skelter> things just work
[02:31] <duckdown> but i'm a n00b so what the hell do i know
[02:31] <ianmacgregor> Quash: Oh, livecd? I don't know about that as I don't use the livecd.
[02:31] <spdf> Quash, When you boot select one of the rescue options. It'll give you a command line
[02:31] <Y0da^> can anyone point me in the right direction for installing wolfenstein enamy terratory?
[02:31] <JamesT> Is Ubuntu similar to red hat at all?  I mean command line?
[02:31] <emacsen> JamesT, there's no red hat command line, the command line is the same between distributions
[02:31] <JamesT> I see
[02:31] <duckdown> JamesT> No, fedora is.. this is similar to debian
[02:31] <emacsen> duckdown, he means is bash still bash
[02:31] <duckdown> emacsen oh :)
[02:31] <eck0> im back lol
[02:32] <ianmacgregor> JamesT: The package manager commands are quite different but the command line is usually the same for most distros.
[02:32] <JamesT> Yeah basically just wondering if the shell commands are the same/similar
[02:32] <emacsen> JamesT, the differences between Ubuntu and Red Hat are minor
[02:32] <Juhaz> ianmacgregor, kill his login shell?
[02:32] <Quash> fnf: I've tried Try '#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' but couldn't access terminal from boot.  The CD booted past the boot splash but when it went to load the desktop, the screen went black.  Ctrl+Alt+6 didn't access terminal, so I couldn't do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and don't know how to, otherwise.
[02:32] <duckdown> yum is so damn slow.. I love apt
[02:32] <ianmacgregor> Juhaz: That would work, you know the command for that?
[02:32] <baxter_kylie> Any have any experience with LVM?
[02:32] <emacsen> JamesT, the shell is the same. Just a few things will be in a few different places, and a couple of different commands. Like driving a different model car
[02:33] <Y0da^> can anyone point me in the right direction for installing wolfenstein enamy terratory?
[02:33] <eck0> ntn
[02:33] <JamesT> If dual boot isn't recommended, perhaps I should just install Ubuntu on my spare pc and see how much I can accomplish without windows.
[02:33] <DeCaelo> Does anyone here have any expereince with the 915resolution tool
[02:33] <emacsen> JamesT, honestly, that's what I'd do
[02:34] <Y0da^> i dual just fine
[02:34] <fnf> Quash: the installer CD has a rescue mode, try to see it if boots to the terminal, else append 'single' to the boot parameter. Btw, it is Ctrt+Alt+F[1-6]
[02:34] <emacsen> Jimbo, you can try to dual boot. I'd be more concerned about Windows not working than anything else
[02:34] <rbil> installed ubuntu-server on an epia system and just trying to install openssh-server. It is now in the process of generating a DSA key and says this may take some time ... how long would this normally take on a lo-powered mobo like this? Don't know if it's hung or indeed just taking its time.
[02:34] <Y0da^> just dont install over the ntfs partitions
[02:35] <emacsen> rbil, maybe 3-4 seconds, max
[02:35] <spdf> rbil, shouldn't take very long at all.
[02:35] <Quash> fnf: will rescue mode give me other options on how to boot in the Live Desktop?  I need to do this first, before installing, to make sure I don't have install issues after I wipe Breezy. :)
[02:35] <rbil> oops, never mind ... finally made its way thru it.
[02:35] <rbil> this is a real low powered box.
[02:35] <emacsen> rbil, apparently!
[02:35] <rbil> going to use it simply as a samba server
[02:35] <spdf> rbil, How low?
[02:36] <Quash> otherwise, I'd just install via the text install option, cross my fingers, hold my breath and go for broke. :)
[02:36] <jrib> is it possible to make nautilus call 'command selection1 selection2' where 'selection1' and 'selection2' are the two files that I select in a drag and select for example and then right click and open?
[02:36] <fnf> Quash: I haven't used Ubuntu desktop CD so no idea about that, but you'll need to boot to single mode to check the xorg.conf.
[02:36] <rbil> epia mII6000E mobo :-)
[02:37] <brasko> ok, I still haven't found the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package.
[02:37] <Y0da^> where can i go for installing wolfenstein enamy terratory?
[02:37] <brasko> Is it available in ubuntu?
[02:37] <ubuntu_newb> finally, a nick that wasn't registered lol
[02:37] <jrib> brasko: have you enabled universe?
[02:37] <spdf> 600mhz.. mmf, that's hot.
[02:37] <ink251> JamesT: i wouldnt recommend that, if you use windows every time you are uncomfortable with ubuntu you wont learn to use it well, getting it customized for your preferences is half the fun
[02:37] <Quash> fnf: how do I boot to single mode? And will this confirm the Xorg LiveCD file or my Breezy one?  Installed Breezy in fine.
[02:37] <ubuntu_newb> do you have to boot from the Ubuntu CD to run from the cd or can I run it through windows?
[02:37] <DarkMageZ> Y0da^, did you install it systemwide or just to your local user?
[02:38] <emacsen> ubuntu_newb, you boot from it
[02:38] <Y0da^> i'm having problems installing it
[02:38] <Y0da^> The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1
[02:38] <Quash> Right now, I just want to boot in via Vesa to rule that out as the problem.
[02:38] <CAsurfer> Can somebody help me with my apt-get problem?  Whenever I install a package, apt-get also tries to install an old package which was installed successfully, but which apt-get thinks wasn't installed.  So whenever I use apt-get, it tries to install an unnecessary package and fails.  Does anyone know how to fix something like this?
[02:39] <jrib> CAsurfer: what package?  Can you pastebin the apt-get output?
[02:39] <Zarephath> I need to connect a windows machine to a nfs share..googling thus far has only revealed costly software..anyone have an easy solution other than putting linux on that machine?
[02:39] <fnf> Quash: I suspect adding 'single' to the boot parameter should be enough. What what do you mean by 'confirm the xorg Live CD files' ?
[02:39] <CAsurfer> jrib: vmware
[02:39] <brasko> jrib: no
[02:40] <ink251> Zare: \\machine\share in run
[02:40] <jrib> ubotu: tell brasko about universe
[02:40] <CAsurfer> jrib, refine that: vmware-player
[02:40] <ubuntu_newb> vmware player is awsome
[02:41] <brasko> jrib: is there a downside to adding universe?
[02:41] <Zarephath> ink251: Kewl thanks
[02:41] <CAsurfer> ubuntu_newb, I know, I just wish apt-get would realize that it's already installed
[02:41] <ubuntu_newb> it allows you to run other operating systems on your windows machine.  For example: you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on your Windows system.  Why anyone would want to do that, I don't know unless it is for learning purposes.
[02:42] <skelter> Anyone ever have problems getting SDL/openGL working? Getting "Video initialization failed: Unsupported console hardware" from a nehe lesson
[02:42] <jrib> brasko: not really, though it is not guaranteed to get security updates from the official ubuntu team.  You can read the specifics in the "components" wiki page ubotu should have linked you too, but most people end up enabling universe (and multiverse)
[02:42] <ianmacgregor> Why anyone would run Windows, I don't know.. unless it's for insanity reasons.
[02:42] <Zarephath> ubuntu_newb: I use it to run windows under ubuntu! And it even runs better than natively :-O
[02:42] <eck0> ok how do i log onto my windows
[02:42] <jrib> CAsurfer: the apt-get output will probably be helpful as well
[02:42] <eck0> it auto goes to my linux
[02:42] <ubuntu_newb> wait... I can run windows on Ubuntu?
[02:42] <eck0> no
[02:42] <Zarephath> I can point out one reason...you can't sync a pocket pc running mobile 5 OS on any versino of linux without a bunch of hacking
[02:42] <eck0> i have 2 hdd
[02:42] <ink251> use wine for that
[02:42] <phire> Zarephath: Does it hve directX support
[02:43] <b08y> ubuntu_newb: u can, with vmware server
[02:43] <ubuntu_newb> vmware server for linux?
[02:43] <eck0> vmware?
[02:43] <ubuntu_newb> is that free?
[02:43] <phire> no
[02:43] <b08y> jeah
[02:43] <b08y> it is
[02:43] <Badkitty> Anyone want to try to help me get my wireless working??? Im still noob but I got it to work on my laptop but not my desktop
[02:43] <Zarephath> phire: Not sure..think so...I am not using for anything other than syncing my pocketpc
[02:43] <brasko> jrib: ok, I read the pages
[02:43] <brasko> jrib: but still don't see exactly how to turn it on
[02:43] <Zarephath> Badkitty: What does sudo iwlink show you?
[02:44] <ubuntu_newb> it allows you to run other operating systems on your windows machine.  For example: you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on your Windows system.
[02:44] <ink251> i have a bunch of old laptops laying around anyone got any idea on what to do with them, think interactive picture frame, cluster, etc
[02:44] <jrib> brasko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories is pretty straightforward
[02:44] <Zarephath> ink251: I would beowulf them...heh
[02:44] <Lubix> is anyone else having a bugaliscious time with eft edgy right now?
[02:44] <b08y> ubuntu_newb: vmware server 4 linux works great!
[02:44] <eck0> how do i logon to my windows
[02:44] <ubuntu_newb> He is saying that using vmware server could run windows xp on Ubuntu
[02:44] <eck0> it just auto puts me on linux
[02:44] <Lubix> my Gaim keeps messing up
[02:44] <ubuntu_newb> that's awsome
[02:44] <ink251> i want to do that thing from antitrust where the pictures change depending on whos in the room
[02:44] <Lubix> crashes left and right
[02:44] <jrib> brasko: go to "managing repositories" then "adding universe"
[02:44] <brasko> jrib: I see, thanks.
[02:45] <CAsurfer> jrib, the essence of the output is "Errors were encountered while processing:
[02:45] <CAsurfer>  vmware-player
[02:45] <CAsurfer> " Basically, apt-get keeps trying and failing.  Is there some kind of "refresh" or "clean" or "check for dependencies" or "stop being stupid" command that I can give apt-get that will resolve simple errors? Is there a way that I can see the queue of things apt-get thinks it should install, so that I can remove things from that queue?
[02:45] <Lubix> please tell me you people have similar problems with edgy!
[02:45] <ubuntu_newb> I have a Core 2 Duo system with 2GB of ram, I should be able to run vmware server with no problem.
[02:45] <Badkitty> Zarephath... I've triefd some tuts a few weeks ago.. how do i use iwlink?
[02:45] <Zarephath> Lubix: First and foremost you are in the wrong channel..ask your edgy questions in #ubuntu+
[02:45] <ink251> is vmware what you use on a dualcore to run 2 os's in parallel?
[02:46] <jrib> CAsurfer: does 'apt-cache policy vmware-player' say it is installed?
[02:46] <b08y> ubuntu_newb: im runing it on p4 1,8 ghz, works well
[02:46] <Zarephath> Badkitty: I just told you...re-read what I typed
[02:46] <CAsurfer> ubuntu_newb, with a Core 2 Duo, you should have the hardware to run Xen. Have you tried it? You should be able to get blazing-fast virtualization.
[02:46] <ubuntu_newb> you can run 2 os's on a single processor machine using vmware
[02:46] <Zarephath> Don't forget Badkitty to include the device name of your wireless card
[02:46] <b08y> ubuntu_newb: but xen would be better in your case
[02:46] <abo> hi, when I double click in Nautilus on  a ntfs drive that I have, it says sorry cannot mount drive, but the drive is already mounted, why does it try to mount it again?
[02:46] <ubuntu_newb> but I think dual core/ dual processor is better since it allows you to dedicate one processor to each os or whatever
[02:46] <CAsurfer> jrib, it says it's installed
[02:46] <Badkitty> Zarephath... ok then i says command not found
[02:47] <Zarephath> b08y: Yeah but doesn't that require a kernel compile?
[02:47] <ubuntu_newb> xen?
[02:47] <Zarephath> Badkitty: Do you have the wireless tools installed?
[02:47] <Zarephath> !wireless
[02:47] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:47] <b08y> Zarephath: i think so, and u cant run windows with xen
[02:47] <CAsurfer> ubuntu_newb, there's a good wikipedia article on Xen
[02:47] <b08y> ubuntu_newb: just google xen , but atm no windows with xen
[02:48] <ink251> any of you know a good overclocking channel?
[02:48] <jrib> CAsurfer: well 'apt-get install -f' will try resolving dependencies and 'dpkg-reconfigure -a' will reconfigure unconfigured stuff.  I'm not sure which you want without seeing the error
[02:48] <Zarephath> b08y: Yeah..just trying to make the point that is probably beyond his skillset at this time...
[02:48] <b08y> :D
[02:48] <jrib> CAsurfer: simply 'apt-get install vmware-player' may help too
[02:48] <Zarephath> Really? vmware-player is in the repos now..go figure..heh
[02:49] <Badkitty> I've tried several of the wiki's but still no avail. I just re-installed edgy and got a different wireless lan card, so no i don't have the tools downloaded
[02:49] <Zarephath> Badkitty: You will have to install the wireless tools first...
[02:50] <rubyscube> hmm.. has beryl been removed from the tree?... when I try to do apt-get install beryl, the only thing I find is the pagacke "beryl-plugins" not the core... anyone??
[02:50] <ink251> is there a gnome applet to show my disk space?
[02:50] <Badkitty> Allright let me work on that...
[02:50] <mjelva> i feel really retarded asking this, but i figured i'd give ubuntu a try, and now i'm stuck. i got the desktop cd, booted from it, chose the "boot from cd / install" option (whatever the specific wording is. the top option on the list). so it booted as with a live-cd, and i'm not sure how to proceed from here. anyone?
[02:50] <DeCaelo> Does anyone here have experience using an intel 900 series graphics card in Ubuntu or perhaps have used the tool 915resolution?
[02:50] <Zarephath> Badkitty: You should be able to lspci(I assume your wireless card is PCI)..you should see the card listed....first question answered..if it shows up then linux sees the card
[02:50] <ink251> look for the install icon on the desktop
[02:50] <Zarephath> Badkitty: I believe also lshw will show you as well...someone correct me if this is bad information
[02:51] <mjelva> ink251: i'm not able to do that. i'll have to do it via commandline. how do i?
[02:51] <Zarephath> Badkitty: Once you have determined that linux sees the hardware you need to figure out how to install the drivers...

[02:52] <Zarephath> Badkitty: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/index.php
[02:52] <ink251> someone look up the launcher command line for ubuntu install for mjelva

[02:53] <Zarephath> Badkitty: You still with us?
[02:53] <mjelva> could anyone tell me how to install from cd via commandline?
[02:53] <CAsurfer> jrib, note that it says that the module "vmnet" should be loaded, but I'm not able to modprobe it.
[02:53] <CientificoLoco> hello everybody I have java with automatix and it said me that it will be installed with plugins by firefox but I wanna see a site that needs java and it say that firefox need the plugin. what do I have to do?

[02:53] <ubotu> Automatix is an unsupported script that tries to automate the installation of some software. We don't provide support for it in the #ubuntu or #kubuntu channels, try #automatix thanks!

[02:54] <Badkitty> Sorry.. trying to find dependencies for gnome-network-manager

[02:54] <Thirsteh> There's a copy of the old pastebin.com over at www.n00bh4x.net/paste too.. I like it cause it's ..a bix box, and well has syntax highlighting for all languages
[02:54] <ubuntu_newb> I just got the i386 one wich I know isn't right...
[02:54] <jrib> ubotu: tell CientificoLoco about java
[02:54] <Dominus_Suus> could someone help me troubleshoot a problem with my USB mouse, please?
[02:54] <Zarephath> mjelva: Then type the command of the program you want to run...usually preceded by ./<command>

[02:56] <rubyscube> hmm.. has beryl been removed from the tree?... when I try to do apt-get install beryl, the only thing I find is the pagacke "beryl-plugins" not the core... anyone??
[02:56] <Zarephath> Badkitty: NP..check out the link to make sure your card is fully compatible with linux...after that it is simple to use NDISWRAPPER to install your windows drivers...if you want WPA for wireless you will need to install the wpa_supplicant package...
[02:56] <rubyscube> package even
[02:56] <DCGrendel> mjelva: the live cd? theres an icon on the desktop
[02:56] <Badkitty> Zarephath... I've seen this. i think mine is the WMP54G v.4 which is supported green
[02:56] <rus1> Hey, I'm trying to install a phpBB2 message board on my Ubuntu server, and when it tries to send an email (when registering a user) it says it failed sending an email. Looking on Google, it looks like I need to enable sendmail in PHP. Anyone know how to do this?
[02:56] <mjelva> DCGrendel: i have to do it via commandline
[02:56] <Zarephath> mjelva: Just reboot...make sure your bios has boot from cdrom enabled...
[02:56] <mjelva> i'm already booted from the CD, damn it
[02:56] <bimberi> ubuntu_newb: once you're installed you install the linux-686-smp package to take advantage of your processor
[02:56] <brentcool> hey guys, I just applied updates to my mom's computer and her firefox logo went from the globe to the OFFICIAL firefox logo...did Debain/Ubuntu finally agree to Mozilla's terms?
[02:56] <agent> does anyone know what exact command/program finds out when is the appropriate time to do a fsck on boot?
[02:57] <Zarephath> Badkitty: Then the rest is simple..just follow the instructions on the wiki step by step...
[02:57] <DCGrendel> mjelva: uhm, maybe you should have used the alternative cd?
[02:57] <mjelva> DCGrendel: there was only one available that i saw
[02:57] <Zarephath> DCGrendel: Enlighten me please..what is this cd?
[02:57] <Badkitty> I've tried.. Hold on.. Let me get the tools installed and then see where we are at
[02:58] <Zarephath> Badkitty do a lspci and it will tell you for sure what card linux sees...
[02:58] <mjelva> DCGrendel: ah, okay. there i see it.
[02:58] <jrib> CAsurfer: there are a few hits on the forums with your same problem, looking through them now
[02:58] <rancorus> Hi, i have ubuntu on my machine and i want to also install winxp, is there any documentation out there on how to do that ?
[02:58] <mjelva> so you're saying me i can't install from this cd? then what the hell is the point with it?

[02:58] <ianmacgregor> brentcool: I just checked updates, none, and I still have the globe icon in the menus
[02:58] <mjelva> DCGrendel: you can't install from commandline if you're using the first CD?
[02:58] <mjelva> what kind of retarded shit is that?
[02:59] <brentcool> ianmacgregor, then that's weird....It happened on an Edgy desktop
[02:59] <jrib> CAsurfer: can you check that you have vmware-player-kernel-modules for your current kernel?  It seems you need that for the vmnet module
[02:59] <Zarephath> rancorus: Download the free VMWare server and install windows..then run it in a virtual environment...you can't play hard core games however..
[02:59] <spdf> mjelva, you have to download the alternet iso
[02:59] <DCGrendel> mjelva you probably can, i just don't know how

[02:59] <mjelva> "just works" my ass
[02:59] <DCGrendel> heh
[02:59] <mjelva> this is ridiculous
[02:59] <ianmacgregor> brentcool: Ahh, ok, this channel is for 6.06, which is what I have
[02:59] <DCGrendel> mjelva: for most people, it does.
[02:59] <mjelva> a linux distro that doesn't let you manage it from commandline

[02:59] <Badkitty> its ubuntu+1
[02:59] <brentcool> Ok thanks Badkitty
[02:59] <Badkitty> sure np
[03:00] <mjelva> fuck this
[03:00] <DCGrendel> mjelva: atleast it boots on your machine, I've got to make a special cd for my system cause *noone* wants to put bootloaders for oldworld macs on cds anymore
[03:00] <ink251> another one bites the dust
[03:00] <spdf> Ridiculous
[03:00] <Zarephath> rancorus: All you have to do is create a symlink to the path and make it think it is where it is looking...(HINT)
[03:00] <ink251> patience is something you need a lot of working with linux
[03:00] <Dominus_Suus> mjelva has a point, though, it doesn't 'just work' it takes a real belief in it
[03:01] <DCGrendel> and the -- at the end of the kernel commandline for the installer makes the append entry too big for the bootloader i'm using
[03:01] <CAsurfer> jrib, it seems I already have that package.
[03:01] <rancorus> Zarephath: Everytime i try to install vmware-player in the terminal i get an error message
[03:01] <Badkitty> Zarephath...My card doesn't show up on the list...
[03:01] <CAsurfer> jrib, kind of odd that I don't seem to have the module
[03:01] <chuke> Hi
[03:01] <Badkitty> well....
[03:01] <jrib> CAsurfer: did you make sure the one for your current kernel is installed?
[03:01] <Alakazamz0r> im getting these for my girlfriend: http://www.cafepress.com/ubuntushop.14580695
[03:02] <Alakazamz0r> that way when we're in bed... it'll be a linux turn on too
[03:02] <Alakazamz0r> aahaha!
[03:02] <nu> =)
[03:02] <chuke> I think i deleted nautilus, how can I get it back?
[03:02] <Bladeless> need help for install, i cant do install from the live cd... it fails to load x
[03:02] <CAsurfer> jrib, how do I check that?
[03:02] <Badkitty> ok well it does
[03:02] <Dominus_Suus> alakazmz0r. just don't start confusing your girlfriend with your computer :P
[03:02] <DCGrendel> Alakazamz0r: be glad they arnt making those in childrens sizes, like cough Amber Combie cough
[03:02] <CientificoLoco> jrib, I have done but it does not work
[03:02] <jrib> chuke: why do you think you deleted nautilus?  How do you think you did this?  What does 'nautilus' in a terminal do?
[03:03] <Bladeless> so i try doing from text mode
[03:03] <jrib> CientificoLoco: is sun-java5-plugin installed?
[03:03] <Bladeless> but i just get more problems :S

[03:04] <nu> rus1
[03:04] <Dominus_Suus> can anyone help me with my problematic USB mouse?
[03:04] <Thirsteh> rus1, you might simply have to just start the sendmail service
[03:04] <nu> try joining a php channel
[03:04] <Dominus_Suus> (please)
[03:04] <Badkitty> Zarephath...Is there supposed to be a wmaster0 and a wlan0??
[03:04] <tich> can someone help me to get beryl to work?
[03:04] <rus1> nu, can you tell me how to start the sendmail service?
[03:04] <nu> does mail(to, subject, etc, etc) give you an SMTP error?
[03:04] <Treznor> Good evening, all.  Anyone have experience getting sounds to work in an IBM T42?  This is a fresh install, upgraded from Dapper.
[03:04] <jrib> CAsurfer: 'uname -r' should tell you the current kernel you are running, then see if vmware-player-kernel-modules-$(uname -r) is installed
[03:04] <jorik> whats a good secure ftp server ?
[03:04] <Thirsteh> jorik, proftpd or wuftpd
[03:04] <Thirsteh> I prefer proftpd
[03:05] <nu> rus1: i don't remember how. I'm sure google could find you an answer. if not, you could join a php channel on irc
[03:05] <ink251> vsftpd
[03:05] <Thirsteh> wuftpd is simpler tho
[03:05] <nu> it's not hard, i remember that
[03:05] <ink251> very secure ftp daemon
[03:05] <jorik> it needs to be easy to setup  (just give ppl access to their ~ with their passw)
[03:05] <Thirsteh> jorik, prolly what ink251 said if you want it to be "very secure" :D
[03:05] <ink251> heh
[03:06] <CAsurfer> jrib, I'll be back in a few minutes, I need to go help a friend
[03:06] <ink251> how much do SCSI tape drives go for these days?

[03:06] <WeaZeLb0y> I had windows installed on a pc my dvd drive worked fine, I installed Ubuntu to dual boot, the installation worked, but now after I boot into Ubuntu or Windows neither recognize my DVD drive...I think it has to do something with booting with GRUB...anyone have any ideas?
[03:06] <jorik> its used by kernel.org ... so i guess it'll do :o)
[03:06] <mighty_falcon> hmmm i just built kino 0.9.2 from source but when i launch kino now it still sais 0.8.0 which is the version i installed from apt-get

[03:07] <mighty_falcon> how do i get it to run 0.9.2? anyone?
[03:07] <jrib> mighty_falcon: how did you install the kino you built?
[03:07] <palomer> quick, someone remind me how to search for a file name in a directory tree
[03:07] <mighty_falcon> jrib: just ./configure , make, sudo make install
[03:07] <jrib> mighty_falcon: did kino get installed to /usr/local?
[03:07] <tich> has anyone had any luck with beryl?
[03:08] <Dominus_Suus> palomer: find -name <file name>
[03:08] <mighty_falcon> jrib: from the msgs printed it seems so yes
[03:08] <jrib> CientificoLoco: does /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so exist?
[03:08] <thor> palomer: 'find / -name <filename>
[03:08] <rlared> hey all. . . i'm dual booting right now and i was wondering if there is a way to run the windows partition under ubuntu?
[03:08] <jrib> mighty_falcon: does /usr/local/bin/kino  work?
[03:08] <chuke> so yeah, how do I get nautilus back
[03:08] <rlared> i don't want to have to reinstall windows under vmware really
[03:08] <adiabatty> Hi, I've configured a new logfile that outputs to /var/log/foo.log, and it seems to be rotating files on a daily basis, and keeping only four archived logs (not what I'd expect given "weekly\nrotate 4 in /etc/logrotate.conf). Is there anyplace else that might have log rotation settings, other than /etc/logrotate.d/?
[03:08] <braino> tich: i had some luck with it, very nice
[03:08] <ink251> tich: its awesome

[03:09] <Dominus_Suus> Heritz, are you talking about the .deb binary?

[03:15] <chuke> Ok, so: My sound stopped working. Whenever i would do anything sound related ubuntu would tell me that certain Gstreamer or alsa plugins were missing. The people on the forums told me I should use the package manager to reinstall everything relating to those two, then restart. Nothing happened. They then told me 'completely remove' all Gstreamer and Alsa stuff then reinstall all of them. Now when I turn my computer on I get to t

[03:18] <jmworx> Who should I talk to if I want to get the "speex" package removed from amd64 Dapper. It's always been broken despite a patch being posted 6 months ago. Considering nobody's interested in fixing the problem, I request the package to be removed (I'm the Speex maintained).
[03:19] <CAsurfer> jrib, I wasn't able to find the kernel for which my version of vmware was installed

[03:21] <JonBoon> what does this error mean? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27916/
[03:22] <braino> hmm, that may be what it uses as your fallback WM, but that wouldn't be the default (metacity is the default fallback wm)
[03:22] <sethk> Jonbo, not an error
[03:22] <CientificoLoco> jrib, it said that I jave installed java but firefox says that need the plugin
[03:22] <sethk> Jonbo, it means just what it says, that there is no reference key to compare this key against.
[03:22] <JonBoon> im trying to use easyubuntu to install codecs and i get that
[03:22] <sethk> JonBoon, it's not a problem
[03:22] <Heritz> OK, thanks guys I got the Bluefish installed with the Universe thing that you said. Thanks again.
