[07:22] <pike__> chico_: you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:23] <fick> its the only chance i have of getting ubuntu to do anything with my wireless
[07:23] <pike__> chico_: then start or restart
[07:23] <fick> since bloody ndiswrapper.ko does not exist
[07:23] <boink> or you need another wireless card
[07:23] <Dr_willis> vmware and wireless.. Hmm
[07:23] <boink> with a chip supported by linux
[07:23] <boink> ndiswrapper can be painful
[07:23] <sredojevics> hi, what are my choices if I need to connect to Internet using rp-pppoe tools (pppoe-start, pppoe-stop etc). Can Network Manager handle pppoe?
[07:23] <fick> yeah just a bit
[07:23] <Dr_willis> i find wireless painfull.
[07:24] <Dr_willis> but it does work on my laptop now with dapper.. that amazed me
[07:24] <sredojevics> is rp-pppoe default on edgy eft
[07:24] <boink> you got the right chip
[07:24] <boink> most people with wireless problems here are using the wrong chips
[07:24] <nuked_omen> amzing the number of xgl/compiz videos on google
[07:24] <Dr_willis> boink,  :)  'its all in the chips'
[07:24] <nuked_omen> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2043292208121750866&q=ubuntu
[07:24] <fick> wait a minute, is there a way to read a .iso image as if it was a cd drive
[07:24] <Dr_willis> nuked_omen,  more useless eye candy. :P
[07:25] <fick> within ubuntu of course
[07:25] <edoardo> hello?? help!! why don't the ubuntu-desktop dvd boot my system up?
[07:25] <Dr_willis> fick,  you can mount an iso of course.
[07:25] <Dr_willis> fick,  thats trivial
[07:25] <Dr_willis> !iso
[07:25] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[07:25] <fick> in other words, deamon tools for ubuntu
[07:25] <nuked_omen> Dr_willis, some people would switch OSes because of that eyecandy
[07:25] <fick> sweet
[07:25] <Dr_willis> fick,  the feature has been in linux WAY WAY befor deamon tools even existed
[07:25] <fick> no i wont have to risk running the upgrade in vmware

[07:25] <Dr_willis> nuked_omen,  but is that a good thing? :)
[07:26] <fick> now i wont have have to risk running the upgrade in vwware that is
[07:26] <freek> well I had to format, can I check the .iso from the cd I burnt it on
[07:26] <freek> or do I have to download another version to md5sum it?
[07:26] <Dr_willis> freek,  you can md5sum the cd you burnt - is the proper way.
[07:26] <nuked_omen> Dr_willis, depends, i know a friend of mine who never used but wanted to use OSX just for the looks of it
[07:26] <freek> just cmd
[07:26] <freek> then
[07:26] <freek> cd E:\
[07:26] <freek> ?
[07:27] <nuked_omen> call it a show off
[07:27] <Dr_willis> 'friends dont let friends use OSX'
[07:27] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:27] <Dr_willis> freek,  what does E: have to do with md5sum?
[07:27] <freek> my cd drive?
[07:27] <boink> does anyone know how I can set the "on-top" option as a default?
[07:27] <Dr_willis> freek,  and what os are you running? youve managed tototally lose me...
[07:27] <freek> windows XP
[07:28] <jrib> ubotu: tell boink about devilspie
[07:28] <Dr_willis> freek,  then go get a md5sum program for windowsxp
[07:28] <freek> i did
[07:28] <freek> md5summr
[07:28] <Dr_willis> and check the md5sum of the burnt cd
[07:28] <freek> extracted to system32
[07:28] <boink> ta jrib
[07:28] <freek> it says I have to switch dir's and all of that
[07:28] <Dr_willis> I found one that puts a menu on the right click entry that does md5sums.. ricght click on the cd.. md5sum.
[07:28] <freek> or are there others that I dont have to use in cmd prompt?
[07:28] <sredojevics> Hi, what are my choices if I need to connect to Internet using rp-pppoe tools (pppoe-start, pppoe-stop etc). Can Network Manager handle pppoe? Is rp-pppoe included on edgy eft?
[07:29] <Dr_willis> freek,  i iamgine thers several dozen of them.
[07:29] <fayez> ls
[07:29] <johnny06> Randall are youaround
[07:30] <Dr_willis> ls - command not found.
[07:30] <BockBilbo> any of you have manage to install ubuntu server 6.06 on vmware?
[07:30] <graveson> is there a RSS tool for ubuntu something that is browser integrated
[07:31] <Dr_willis> theres several rss extensions for firefox. Check the firefox extension site.
[07:31] <Dr_willis> BockBilbo,  i was thinking i saw a Premade vmware image for Ubuntu Server on some site. Proberly the Vmware "appliances" site
[07:31] <fick> btw, your mount did not work
[07:32] <indigoblu> Dr_willis, hows about the good ole' Xen :-)
[07:32] <Dr_willis> btw - i imagine ya did somthing wrong. :P
[07:32] <BockBilbo> Dr_willis, you sure?..... i installed it on vmware using qemu and then reformating the image to open it with the vmwareplayer
[07:32] <fick> cant find in etc/fstab or mtab
[07:32] <Dr_willis> indigoblu,  never mseede with xen.
[07:32] <Dr_willis> BockBilbo,  i use the vmware server
[07:32] <johnny06> you know what Randall is not happy cause you banned him
[07:32] <BockBilbo> and after installing it ok in vmware-player... grub loads but the boot process doesnt start
[07:32] <fick> so much for painless .iso mounts
[07:33] <indigoblu> Dr_willis, as far as virtualization tech goes, it blows VMware out of the water in terms of performance
[07:33] <baggio> hi again guys. im trying to get WPA working. i have network manager, but i only see option to select wep. my connection is wpa. any help would be great. this is my first time today using ubuntu
[07:33] <freek> k, re-downloading the install iso
[07:33] <Dr_willis> fick,  put forth some effort man.. I am guessing you did some trivial thing wrong
[07:33] <freek> gonna md5 before I burn
[07:33] <freek> burn it in nero
[07:33] <freek> try to install again

[07:33] <fick> hmmmmmm
[07:33] <fick> editing mtab or fstab is never trivial
[07:33] <Dr_willis> this command --> sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint        looks right to me  and does NOT invilve editing fstab
[07:34] <Dr_willis> and editing fstab is rather trivial.
[07:34] <Dr_willis> you never edit the mtab

[07:37] <edoardo> : D
[07:37] <edoardo> you guys
[07:37] <MammalFish> Hello.
[07:37] <edoardo> you guys
[07:37] <MammalFish> I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help with someone.
[07:37] <MammalFish> *something
[07:38] <ryan_> anyone know a good ftp client with a gui
[07:38] <MammalFish> I tried installing Ubuntu to a USB drive, and at 15%, it said it couldn't create a filesystem.
[07:38] <THX-1138> !ask > MammalFish
[07:38] <ericz> ryan_, gftp-gtk
[07:38] <edoardo> you guys
[07:38] <MammalFish> Thus it literally takes forever to find the filesystem.
[07:38] <fick> mount: can't find /media/cd in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab
[07:38] <fick> thank you very much
[07:38] <MammalFish> If it helps, it is a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro.
[07:38] <edoardo> ryan_ gftp
[07:38] <fick> stick that somewhere trivial
[07:39] <baggio> 950 people in this room and no one can help? wow
[07:39] <ryan_> thanks edoardo
[07:39] <Dr_willis> fick,  the directory 'cd' does allready exist?
[07:39] <pike__> baggio: if you read the link and then have a specific question about the steps someone can help
[07:39] <edoardo> i've downloaded ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso... on my hd it's a 1.4g file, i burned it to a dvd... but the dvd won't boot! so i've loop mounted the iso... and it's seven hundred megs! how come? help!
[07:40] <baggio> the link says it cant be done
[07:40] <Dr_willis> fisk -> sudo mkdir /media/cd
[07:40] <fick> no, it did not, but i created it as a experiment and got the same error message
[07:40] <Dr_willis> fick -> sudo mkdir /media/cd
[07:40] <ryan_> anyone know a dvd/cd burning program with a gui
[07:41] <ColonelPanic001> anyone have any idea why my usb card reader might seemingly without reason stop working? It's as though it's not plugged in, but it is.
[07:41] <forngren> Does a Logitech QuickCam communicate STX work in ubuntu?
[07:41] <brotherJohn1234> ryan_, tried k3b ?
[07:41] <ColonelPanic001> ryan_: K3b?
[07:41] <Dr_willis> fick,  and whats the exact mount command you are using?
[07:41] <pike__> baggio: ive never used wpa but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo seems possible
[07:41] <THX-1138> edoardo - gnomebaker - or with a large d/l of kde desktop files k3b
[07:41] <ryan_> thanks
[07:41] <baggio> let me check it out. thanks pike
[07:41] <brrrt> what do  i need to make my joypad work in dapper ??
[07:41] <fick> it does now
[07:42] <fick> and i cant remember the command to erase the directory
[07:42] <THX-1138> brrrt - peek at xbindkeys
[07:42] <brrrt> oh
[07:42] <brrrt> thx
[07:42] <fick> ok, got it rmdir
[07:42] <THX-1138> brrrt: you can do it geeky to xev and xmodmap.
[07:42] <fick> same as in windoze
[07:42] <mAIJK> Should I use nvidia-glx-legacy or nvidia-glx to my GeForce 7600GT for gaming or should I use the driver from NVIDIAs Homepage????
[07:42] <ColonelPanic001> I'm not really new to linux, just never played with USB or whatnot before, don't even know if there's a deamon for it or whatnot
[07:42] <fick> now of course, i got the same error i got before
[07:42] <Terminus> mAIJK: nvidia-glx
[07:43] <mAIJK> Terminus, is that one as good as Nvidia.coms detonator?
[07:43] <fick> and i will continue to , becuase there are no mount entires in fstab or mtab
[07:43] <OSV> What is the most convinient editor of php files in Linux?
[07:43] <brrrt> THX-1138: sounds nice :)
[07:43] <ColonelPanic001> OSV: vim/gvim, nano, Kate
[07:43] <Terminus> mAIJK: yep. and too make things simple, always grab packages from the repos first before installing from other sources. makes cleanup easy.
[07:43] <OSV> is there Project tree there?
[07:43] <fick> dr_willis : i did create the directroy and got the same result
[07:43] <THX-1138> brrrt - it uses all types of arcania type xev in a terminal.
[07:43] <Terminus> mAIJK: if you really are forced to install from another source, use checkinstall.
[07:44] <pike__> ColonelPanic001: open a terminal and type 'mount' and hit enter if its not mounted this is what i normally do 1. ls -t /dev | head  youll get something like sda1 or sdb1 then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/whateverdirectoryyouwant
[07:44] <brotherJohn1234> OSV, i use Eclipse for my small php-programms.
[07:44] <Dr_willis> fick,  im thinking you are doing somthing fundamentally/logicially wrong.   its  i just mounted an .iso witht he following 2 commands.
[07:44] <XiXaQ> How do I upgrade from Dapper to Edgy?
[07:44] <Dr_willis> sudo mkdir CDGOESHERE
[07:44] <edoardo> THX-1138 thankyou dude!
[07:44] <Dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop  puppy-2.10-seamonkey.iso CDGOESHERE
[07:44] <THX-1138> ;)
[07:44] <OSV> Eclipse - where can I find it?
[07:45] <edoardo> THX-1138 thankyou dude! : )
[07:45] <Dr_willis> Note that i made that dir in the same dir as the .iso exists
[07:45] <edoardo> byebye everyone! : )
[07:45] <ColonelPanic001> pike_: thanks, but nothing came up
[07:45] <edoardo> to convert any audio file, use audio-convert! it kicks ass!!
[07:45] <ColonelPanic001> it normally does auto-mount as sda1
[07:45] <THX-1138> edoardo - cdr-tools or cdrecord for bash scriptng ok?
[07:45] <baggio> i downloaded and installed network manager, but i cant find it anywhere. how can i see it?
[07:45] <TheGateKeeper> OSV: universe repo
[07:45] <Terminus> XiXaQ: change all instances of dapper to edgy in /etc/apt/sources.list and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. check the docs for edgy though, they might have special instructions. this is just the short version. don't blame me if it borks your install. =)
[07:45] <ColonelPanic001> but, if this helps at all, there's a "power" light on the reader which normally is always on, it's off now
[07:45] <ColonelPanic001> it's like it's dead. heh
[07:46] <edoardo> THX-1138 awright!
[07:46] <XiXaQ> Terminus, I'll do it in a virtual machine first and see how that works. Thanks.
[07:46] <pike__> ColonelPanic001: well if lsusb doesnt show it connected thats the problem i dont know why it would do that offhand
[07:46] <nukeTWA> Hello
[07:47] <Terminus> XiXaQ: good luck. :)
[07:47] <ColonelPanic001> running lsusb now. So far it's just sitting there
[07:47] <XiXaQ> Terminus, thanks  :)
[07:47] <Terminus> XiXaQ: i did the same thing for upgrading from breezy to dapper. worked flawlessly here. =)
[07:47] <ColonelPanic001> I had this before, ended up just rebooting, but that just doesn't seem like it ought to be needed.
[07:47] <fick> can't find /cdgoeshere in /etc/fstab or mtab
[07:47] <edoardo> byebye everyone! : )
[07:47] <freek> Linux is the hardest os to install, I swearl
[07:47] <freek> swear*
[07:48] <ColonelPanic001> freek: matter of opinion.
[07:48] <fick> eeek
[07:48] <freek> i've never had this problem on windows
[07:48] <ColonelPanic001> I find many linux distros easier than windows
[07:48] <Dr_willis> fick,  my fstab dosent have those entrys.. the fstab should not be getting checked at all.
[07:48] <brrrt> THX-1138: with xev nothing happens when i do something on the joypad
[07:48] <ColonelPanic001> it's just different
[07:48] <Terminus> freek: as ColonelPanic001 said. i think linux is just as difficult as installing windows, if not easier.
[07:48] <Dr_willis> fick,  im betting you are doing somthing  wrong and when you realize it.. you will go " *doh*
[07:48] <ColonelPanic001> It's differnet, and that sometimes can throw users off, understandably
[07:48] <fick> somehow, the "loop" in the command line got ingnored the first time
[07:49] <Dr_willis> fick,  Huh....
[07:49] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:49] <twitch> how do i creat an identity?
[07:49] <ColonelPanic001> is there some kind of USB service I might try restarting or something?
[07:49] <THX-1138> brrrt: adventure awaits! - use gcon~f-editor   /apps/metacity
[07:49] <nukeTWA> I need some help with installation...I need to create a new partition to install dapper drake.  I freed up some space, and I clicked new.  I don't understand the menu that pops up.  I need to have one partition that is at least 256 MB and the other partition that will be 10 GB.
[07:49] <fick> so, i am just hoping that install edgy solves my broadcom bcm4318 issues... since my ndiswrapper.ko went missing
[07:49] <MammalFish> Has anyone here installed to a USB Flash Drive?
[07:49] <Terminus> ColonelPanic001: usb reader? tried removing it and reconnected it?
[07:49] <THX-1138> brrt - you will see commands can be assigned to keys
[07:49] <ColonelPanic001> Terminus: yeah. Unplugged and plugged back in. No change
[07:49] <Terminus> ColonelPanic001: dmesg should show you stuff once you reconnect it.
[07:49] <ColonelPanic001> I'll try
[07:49] <Dr_willis> MammalFish,  its not a trivial task. That UBUNTU HACKS book has an chapter on it.
[07:49] <ColonelPanic001> MammalFish: I'm not that much a masochist ;)
[07:50] <Dr_willis> Work time for me.. vacationis over... :(
[07:50] <brrrt> THX-1138: but i have no gnome running at all, how can this help with the joypad?
[07:50] <fick> becuase my xp install is acting a little wierd and i dont really want to use xp anymore.....it comes with a certain need for paranoia that i really cant handle anymore
[07:50] <TheGateKeeper> fick: I doubt moving to edgy will solve your problems
[07:50] <THX-1138> brrt - no X? - okay.  xmodmap
[07:51] <nukeTWA> the partition that will have linux....is that supposed to be a primary partition or extended?
[07:51] <brrrt> jes i have x but no WM
[07:51] <fick> the gatekeeper:according to what i have heard the 2.6.17 kernel has support for bcm4318 chipsets
[07:51] <Terminus> nukeTWA: the boot partition needs to be primary i think. anything else can be in extended.
[07:51] <brrrt> i just want to run ppracer on top of X
[07:51] <shuan> hello
[07:51] <nukeTWA> what about swap partition?
[07:52] <nukeTWA> can that be extended?
[07:52] <TheGateKeeper> nukeTWA: I use primary for my setup
[07:52] <Terminus> nukeTWA: anyway, if you've got spare primaries, just stuff it there. don't forget to leave one spare for extended though.
[07:52] <Terminus> nukeTWA: yep. it can be in extended.
[07:52] <nukeTWA> ok thank you
[07:52] <Terminus> nukeTWA: what i do is i just use 3 primaries and then stuff everything else in extended.
[07:52] <shuan> can anyone help me, i have been having trouble with ubuntu recognizing my memory stick on my phone whilst connected via usb
[07:52] <THX-1138> brrt - xbindkeys is more than a little easier. - a quick google with your pad name and xbindkeys or xmodmap will turn up the answer
[07:52] <Terminus> nukeTWA: but that's the paranoid partitioner in me. =D
[07:53] <brrrt> THX-1138: k. thx alot!
[07:53] <MammalFish> Well, when I tried installing Ubuntu to my USB Drive, it said that it couldn't create the filesystem.
[07:53] <Xx|Twitch|xX> I just deleted a group in gaim, and it turns out taht deletes contacts too, is there anyway to reverse this and get my contacts back?
[07:53] <TheGateKeeper> fick: in that case I would make sure that is the case then try compiling your own kernel
[07:53] <MammalFish> That resulted in it to not be able to find it.
[07:53] <graft> anyone running firefox <IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:53] <Ronz> "API mismatch! the nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-8762 but this x module has vresion 1.0-8774" how do i upgrade the nvidia kernel module?
[07:53] <fick> terminus: i only do my paritioning with partitionmagic in windoze, previous experience indicates any other partition manager may screw your partitions up
[07:53] <TheGateKeeper> graft: yep
[07:54] <graft> TheGateKeeper: do you have weird problems with flash? i.e., nothing at all will work and you get some weird 'swfdec known bug' error?
[07:54] <Terminus> fick: i'd give you a link to partitioning docs if i had any. all partitioning works the same. you just have to understand how it works.
[07:54] <admin0> hi guys .. strange issue.. I cannot install any themes ..Themes>> install theme >> then selecect the theme file  ( sleekdragon.tar.gz), , it says file format error
[07:54] <fick> terminus: i do understand how it works
[07:54] <admin0> its inside my /home/usrname/.themes/dirname/theme
[07:54] <TheGateKeeper> graft: nope give me a url
[07:54] <shuan> mammal: was you talking to me about the usb?
[07:54] <graft> TheGateKeeper: um, e.g., homestarrunner.comm
[07:54] <MammalFish> Yes.
[07:54] <MammalFish> I was.
[07:55] <pike__> admin0: you can just unpack the theme to the theme directory probably
[07:55] <fick> termnnus: however, many partitioning programs do not understand how xp's ntfs partitions work
[07:55] <fick> including qtparted btw
[07:55] <admin0> pike_, i did that .. but it does not show up
[07:55] <Terminus> fick: really? i thought a partitioning program shouldn't ever touch FS stuff. =|
[07:55] <shuan> mammalfish: i meant i want to get files from my phone memory not install ubuntu to the usb drive
[07:55] <admin0>  /join #perl
[07:56] <freek> lol TheGateKeeper
[07:56] <Terminus> fick: heck, i did partitioning with a hex editor once and it worked just fine.
[07:56] <freek> that used to be my ollllldddd
[07:56] <freek> nick
[07:56] <THX-1138> admin0 - yes, same trouble here irritating isn't it. - there is an answer. after opening themes from the menu selector. open the file browser nautilus and CTRL+H to unhide os files drop your them in  .themes. use the menu to select it.

[07:56] <fick> terminus: well, i tell you what, go ahead and do something with qtparted to a xp ntfs parition and if you are lucky it will still be intact when its done
[07:56] <railz> hello, i did an install for a friend, and I noticed he's missing the 'disks' program for manually mounting drives
[07:56] <railz> what program provides that?
[07:56] <ifrozen> bye
[07:56] <Terminus> fick: no thanks. i don't want to fix something that's not broken. =D
[07:56] <ColonelPanic001> hell with it, I'll try rebooting
[07:57] <fick> terminus: so you dont want to break something that you will have to fix
[07:57] <TheGateKeeper> graft: nope works just fine
[07:57] <unimatrix9> hi there
[07:57] <Terminus> fick: i've had no reason before to use anything other than good old fdisk anyway. =)
[07:57] <unimatrix9> how do i turn off the gnome update reminder?
[07:58] <brotherJohn1234> unimatrix9, update ;)
[07:58] <GoldKeeper> you cant the gnome updatemanager turns you off
[07:58] <GoldKeeper> :)
[07:58] <unimatrix9> dont need an update
[07:58] <fick> terminus: ah, fdisk is great providing you dont want to resize/move partitions, so you can install linux
[07:58] <railz> join #ubuntu+1
[07:58] <unimatrix9> hmm, is this still the userfriendly ubuntu comunnity?
[07:58] <shuan> anyone using lts 6.06.1
[07:59] <admin0> this is unimatrix9
[07:59] <unimatrix9> yes i am shuan
[07:59] <brotherJohn1234> the userfriendly ubuntu comunnity recommends updates ;)
[07:59] <THX-1138> unimatrix9: System >> preferences .. sessions .. startup tab
[07:59] <Terminus> fick: aha! so that means you have problems resizing, not partitioning. never had a reason to resize partitions either. i avoid them since they're so iffy. =|
[07:59] <shuan> whats the difference
[07:59] <fick> anywayz, thegatekeeper: hopefully having that 2.6.17 kernel will kill my bcm4318 problems forever
[07:59] <TheGateKeeper> graft: damn no I get the crap yahoo ad when I log into email lol
[07:59] <shuan> unimatrix: whats new?
[07:59] <Terminus> shuan: i'm using it.
[07:59] <THX-1138> unimatrix9: ya know it isn't really a good idea right?
[07:59] <Terminus> shuan: it's a point release. that's it.
[08:00] <fick> terminus: well, as you said, iffy.....parition magic 8 is not iffy....
[08:00] <fick> its the only bloody partition mananger i will use on any partition, if there was a linux version i would be in heaven
[08:01] <unimatrix9> shuan, i guess the difference is all new packages
[08:01] <THX-1138> Does anyone have the irssi command to ignore bot enter and quit messages?

[08:01] <Tonren> Can anyone help me get Flash working with Opera?
[08:01] <omi> hello, has anyone been able to compile agpgart-2.0 for intel 965 integrated graphics? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html. agpgart-2.0 just has source code but no instructions whatsoever.
[08:01] <Terminus> mAIJK: run glxgears
[08:01] <chico_> How do i set my site to the state like that yesterday, does linux have System Restore feature like that in WINDOWS?
[08:01] <BockBilbo> what's a LAMp server?
[08:01] <admin0> Tonren: I used easyununtu to setup flash, and then installed opera
[08:01] <admin0> it worked fine
[08:01] <fick> brotherjohn: gparted is qtparted if i remember correctly, i think the difference is the UI (gnome vs kde or some shite like that

[08:02] <mAIJK> Terminus, Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[08:02] <ryan_> i uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and now my add/remove program tab is gone from my applications menu any ideas on how to get it back i know i can just use the synaptic package maniger but the otherway is more user friendly when you dont know the name of the program
[08:02] <BockBilbo> thanks
[08:02] <Terminus> mAIJK: doesn't sound like it's working right then.
[08:02] <unimatrix9> got to log out and in, have to go bye and thanx for the help
[08:02] <unimatrix9> :)
[08:03] <Terminus> mAIJK: you did reboot after installing the kernel driver and X driver right?
[08:03] <chico_> How can i disable the GNOME DESKTOP MANAGER menu. It keeps on popping out when i click the SYSTEM - QUIT
[08:03] <mAIJK> I installed nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev and then run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and restarted Xserver...
[08:04] <mAIJK> And yes, I have rebooted
[08:04] <admin0> is anyone going to try to upgrade to the latest gnome ;)
[08:04] <admin0> 2.16
[08:04] <mAIJK> Terminus, nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev is the one I need, not more then that???
[08:04] <Terminus> mAIJK: it should be. and nvidia-glx-dev isn't even needed. something else must be wrong.
[08:05] <Terminus> mAIJK: but you still have X running? check your xorg.conf and see if it's using nvidia and not nv. that might be the problem.
[08:05] <ryan_> i uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and now my add/remove program tab is gone from my applications menu any ideas on how to get it back
[08:05] <chico_> Hello
[08:05] <chico_> help pls
[08:05] <MammalFish> Ask away.
[08:06] <moataz> someone knows how to mount sata drives, I call the primary partition on the IDE primary master channed by /dev/hda1, right>? how to recall sata?
[08:06] <chico_> I can not log off. Everytime i click the QUIT i keep getting the GNOME DESKTOP MANAGER
[08:06] <chico_> who knows the solution
[08:07] <railz> does anyone here have the program called 'disks' in their system>admin menu?
[08:07] <railz> if so can you please tell me the name of the program
[08:07] <Terminus> moataz: sata is seen by linux as scsi so you need /dev/sda1 instead.
[08:07] <moataz> thanks
[08:08] <THX-1138> sudo railz - it's sneaky but try this. ps -e  (list processes) while you have thapp open
[08:09] <railz> THX-1138: do you have the program I mention? I have it at more but I did a fresh install for a friend and it's not there
[08:09] <chico_> Anyone?
[08:09] <railz> I wanted to know the name of the program
[08:09] <Tonren> Hey guys, does the flash navigation on the top of this page work for anyone? http://www.v3ga.net/processing/BlobDetection/
[08:09] <railz> er i have it at home
[08:09] <THX-1138> railz - possibly in /usr/bin/gnome-file that does something
[08:09] <pike__> chico_: are you wanting to reboot? or just drop to a command line?
[08:10] <chico_> I want to log off
[08:10] <Terminus> Tonren: doesn't work for me here.
[08:10] <chico_> and not to see that menu everytime i am trying to log off
[08:10] <Tonren> Terminus: It works in Windows and Mac.  :\
[08:10] <brenlae> hello, i was wondering, can i get 3D working with my intel i910 GL (integrated)
[08:10] <Terminus> Tonren: i'm using opera 9 and flash 7 on dapper.
[08:10] <pike__> chico_: gdm will run until you kill it youre at the gdm login screen?
[08:10] <brenlae> you see, my 6600GT just stopped working today (fan broke) :(
[08:10] <Tonren> Terminus: Me too.
[08:10] <Tonren> Terminus: It doesn't work in Firefox either.
[08:11] <chico_> I try to log off by clicking SYSTEM - QUIT
[08:11] <pike__> chico_: for instance alt-ctrl-backspace will restart X and log you off quickly
[08:11] <THX-1138> Terminus Flash Player version 9
[08:11] <THX-1138> As some sites require you to have flash player 9 installed and it doesn't exist yet under Linux, I came across the following forum entry. It's a cheap trick to make the site think you are using flash player 9. It might not work for all sites.
[08:12] <THX-1138> Open the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat

[08:12] <THX-1138> to
[08:12] <Tonren> Terminus: Wha - huh?  I'm not using any JavaScript.  Oh!  Oh.  This isn't my site.
[08:12] <chico_> Is it safe to log off using ALT CTRL BACKSPACE?
[08:12] <Tonren> Terminus: I would never commit the cardinal sin of having NO SUPPORT for non-Flash player browsers.
[08:13] <deltab> chico_: depends what you mean by 'safe'
[08:13] <Terminus> Tonren: oh... hehehe. i did a quick scan of the code and they're using JS to stick SWF on it.
[08:13] <pike__> chico_: gdm will respawn until its stopped like sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but then you have to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start it.  yes but it might not retain all changes youve made if you alt-crtl-backspace

[08:14] <Tonren> therp: Ask in #ubuntu+1
[08:14] <wildchild> does apt have package for nvida drivers?

[08:14] <Tonren> THX-1138: ... huh?
[08:14] <therp> tonren: ah ic, the answer is in the topic of #ubuntu+1
[08:15] <bsnider> therp: everybody seems to be having 3d problems
[08:15] <Terminus> Tonren: scifi.com/battlestar/ is the latest site that's been bugging me. =|
[08:15] <Tonren> Terminus: The sad thing is, last week, I got really frustrated with Linux.  I said, "I've had enough!  I've had enough of compatibility errors and all of this nonsense.  I'M GOING BACK TO WINDOWS."
[08:15] <THX-1138> Tonren - opera and firefox use the same flash install
[08:16] <iafic> hi
[08:16] <Tonren> Terminus: I booted into Windows and started going about my business.  Within 10 minutes, the Windows updater wanted to reset, programs were crashing, I was getting spyware and I missed the command line.
[08:16] <therp> bsnider: that's not necessary. it just needs to start X (with nvidia restricted) and hook her up to her WEP access point. the rest I can fix remotely, but those things are crucial
[08:16] <MammalFish> There, I made a topic on UbuntuForums for my problem, since it's kind of difficult to explain here.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1597308#post1597308
[08:16] <Tonren> Terminus: I went right back to Linux.
[08:16] <iafic> who is there
[08:16] <iafic> ????
[08:16] <Tonren> THX-1138: But will editing' Firefox's configuration file affect Opera?
[08:16] <davin> how can I check my local IP? (not 127.x)
[08:16] <therp> davin: ifconfig
[08:17] <bsnider> therp: i'm not having any problems like that at this point
[08:17] <therp> davin: or whatismyip.com
[08:17] <Terminus> Tonren: lol. once you get used to linux, it isn't really that difficult anyway. and using the command line really gives you a lot of power. i just miss the multimedia apps on windows though. =|
[08:17] <davin> therp: cheers found it
[08:17] <davin> therp: nah thats my external, I meant the internal like 192.168  got it though, thanks!
[08:17] <Tonren> Terminus: I just miss things WORKING.  I miss Flash working without bugs, I miss my 5-in-1 card reader, I miss connecting to an external monitor without having to restart.
[08:17] <Tonren> Terminus: I miss Photoshop the most.  I hate running it through Crossover Office.
[08:18] <Tonren> Terminus: I'm of the opinion that Linux will stay crippled forever without third party support.
[08:18] <davin> Tonren: GIMP?
[08:18] <echobinary> anyone have any ideas on running a headless Dapper box and VNC'ing in with a decent screen resolution? Booting remotely gives me 800x600 (or 640x480) - would like to get at least 1024x768 if not greater
[08:18] <zambba> How can I get Flash working with Opera 9 in Dapper? Does anyone know any tutorial? I've installed flashplugin-nonfree.
[08:18] <chico_> unsuccessful
[08:18] <Tonren> davin: Please... don't.  I've worked with Photoshop for eight years.  It's second nature to me.  GIMP has less than a quarter of Photoshop's functionality.  It's a good program!  Don't get me wrong.  It just isn't Photoshop.
[08:18] <pike__> Tonren: recommend looking at setting up twinview for external monitor i can paste my xorg.conf file as an example if you like
[08:18] <chico_> the greeter keeps prompting
[08:18] <davin> whats a good GUI FTP client?
[08:18] <Terminus> Tonren: just use whatever works for you. i used to run windows apps in wine too before i got tired of all the tweaking. now i just use windows if i need it. i do hope that linux will eventually have decent third party support though.
[08:19] <stephan__> i installed winblows over ubuntu how can i fix thi
[08:19] <therp> tonren: I use vmware for the stuff I don't get on linux
[08:19] <Tonren> Terminus: I can't stand booting into Windows, you know?  Maybe I'll try out VMWare sometime.
[08:19] <Terminus> davin: i agree with Tonren. GIMP is just about useless for print work. =|
[08:19] <davin> Tonren: I know, Photoshop is actually the most wanted program on Unix (according to worldwide polls) Anyway im gonna go talk in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:19] <Tonren> therp: How is that?  Can you copy and paste between VMWare and Linux?  Does VMWare detect peripherals?
[08:19] <MammalFish> Stephan: Reinstall Ubuntu?  :S
[08:19] <Tonren> pike_: "twinview"?
[08:19] <py__> Setting up postgreSQL on Dapper: I've installed with synaptic, and tried "$ su - postgres" -- but my root system password doesn't work.  Does anyone know how to set up postgres?
[08:20] <davin> Tonren: yes you can copy between vmware and your real os and you can connect devices and then plug them in the VM by a dropdown menu
[08:20] <stephan__> theres another way ....to reinstall the boot loader
[08:20] <Terminus> Tonren: just make sure you've got a computer that can handle it. VMWare isn't really as fast as native when i tried it last time. and forget about DirectX in VMWare.
[08:20] <Tonren> davin: Hmmm.  Maybe I will try it out.
[08:20] <Tonren> Terminus: I have a good box, but it's far from top of the line.
[08:20] <davin> Tonren: are you trying to run Windows in a VM?
[08:20] <Terminus> py__: you need to edit pga.conf?
[08:20] <Tonren> Terminus: It couldn't handle XGL/Compiz.
[08:20] <Tonren> davin: Not at the moment, no.
[08:20] <Terminus> py__: sudo su - postgres
[08:20] <davin> Tonren: okay
[08:20] <davin> whats a good GUI FTP Client?
[08:21] <therp> tonren: not really. cut/paste is only very rudimentary. text and that doesn't work 20% of the time.. peripherals? only usb.
[08:21] <Tonren> davin: gftp?

[08:22] <Terminus> stephan__: boot using a livecd, chroot it and reinstall grub.
[08:22] <chuckyp> echobinary: well the screen resloution shouldn't be an issue
[08:22] <Tonren> echobinary: Is X running on the remote box, or are you starting a server on-demand specifically for VNC'ing?
[08:22] <Terminus> freek: on windows or linux?
[08:22] <chuckyp> freek: what operating system are you running to burn the iso?
[08:23] <KDan> is sun's java 1.4.2 not available as an ubuntu package?
[08:23] <py__> Terminus: I know about sudo, but I thought that it was related to su and didn't know they could be used at the same time.  I had tried sudo - postgres, etc...
[08:23] <stephan__> Terminus : exactly not sure how to do that....ubuntu has a good how to but i lostit
[08:23] <echobinary> it boots automatically in the lower rez, and vnc doesnt want to seem to go higher than X's rez
[08:23] <Rez> x's what?
[08:23] <echobinary> yes
[08:23] <echobinary> rez..  resolution
[08:23] <Terminus> py__: oh i see... well, now you know. =)
[08:23] <chuckyp> echobinary: well change x's res to higher
[08:23] <Terminus> stephan__: sorry, i don't exactly have a howto for you here. =|
[08:23] <davin> guys, I followed this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer  my user 'ftp' has a upload dir @ /home/ftp/upload, so the server is on, but how do I connect? ive tried <IP_ADDRESS> (my ip), <IP_ADDRESS>/home/ftp/ but none of it works?
[08:23] <chuckyp> echobinary: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:24] <echobinary> ill give that a try
[08:24] <stephan__> Terminus, hehe np
[08:24] <KDan> is sun's java 1.4.2 not available as an ubuntu package?
[08:24] <jrib> KDan: do you specifically need 1.4.2?
[08:24] <KDan> yes
[08:24] <KDan> it's for a 3rd party software that doesn't work on 1.5
[08:24] <chuckyp> davin: well first try pinging that ip and make sure that is the computers ip and that it is responding.
[08:24] <davin> im trying to setup a FTP server on my harddrive for home transfers (lan)
[08:25] <KDan> davin: why not use samba or nfs?
[08:25] <chuckyp> davin: then I would check to make sure that the ftpd is actually running on the box.
[08:25] <davin> chuckyp: yep it responses just like ping localhost
[08:25] <chuckyp> davin: yeah samba nfs or scp is definately an easier solution.
[08:25] <indigoblu> davin: why not use ssh?
[08:25] <KDan> ftp is probably the worst solution of the bunch
[08:25] <jrib> KDan: I don't think it's in the dapper repos.  It's easy to build your own though
[08:26] <KDan> dang. ok, download time again then :-(
[08:26] <davin> indigoblu: sorry, I never actually hosted a server before so I just searched 'ftp' on the wiki and I got to FtpServer...
[08:26] <chuckyp> davin: did that tutorial actually discuss starting the ftpd?  or ftp server?

[08:31] <davin> chuckyp: its a medion pc from 2003
[08:31] <CromagDK> is it a good thing NOT being able to open synaptics when wanting to update ? :)
[08:31] <chico_> where can i get the LAUNCHER
[08:31] <SupremacyGnu> Hello, When I try sudo apt-get update everything seem to work until I get a GPG error. What do I do?
[08:31] <jisatsu_> I've mounted an NTFS partition, but none of the files and folders with Japanese characters will display, how can I fix this?
[08:32] <Terminus> SupremacyGnu: ignore it. some packages in universe/multiverse aren't signed properly.
[08:32] <THX-1138> CromagDK: It doesn't sound like a good thing. - blech - do you get any error messages?
[08:32] <chico_> I can not LOG OFF. Clicking SYSTEM - QUIT only closes all my windows and bring me up the GNOME DESKTOP MANAGER menu
[08:33] <CromagDK> THX-1138: no it just closes down on me, and i get segmentation fault from CLI if i try
[08:33] <kengur> hi
[08:33] <davin> chuckyp: so should I get a samba/ssh tutorial?
[08:33] <mAIJK> I have installed nvidia-glx and did the enable command and reboot but it still doesnt work when I set driver "nvidia" in my xorg.conf only "nv" work... anyone know what is wrong and how to test if my nvidia driver work properly?
[08:33] <THX-1138> CromagDK: Ugly. - segmentation fault. - can i plead aol refugee again?
[08:33] <Terminus> davin: ssh would probably be the easiest, and you can use filezilla as an sftp client on windows.
[08:33] <SupremacyGnu> Terminus, ah, ok. So it will still update if there's any other updates in any other library?
[08:34] <Terminus> SupremacyGnu: yep. i think so.
[08:34] <CromagDK> THX-1138: if i knew what it was then sure :)
[08:34] <aSt3raL> is there a way to watch video on cnn.com?  a window pops up and says i dont have windows media player
[08:34] <SupremacyGnu> Terminus, ok, thanks
[08:34] <whyme> hey there,
[08:34] <whyme> just a quicky
[08:34] <mAIJK> Terminus,  when I change to driver "nvidia" then Xserver cant load
[08:34] <whyme> how do you burn .nrg files under ubuntu?
[08:34] <kengur> i have an issue, i have ADSL, i connect using Dlink internal PPPoE client, and my network interface eth0 works for like 10 minutes and then goes down, so i have to restart it in network properties
[08:34] <jisatsu_> it's not just Japanese characters either, any non-ascii characters don't work well, I don't think. "Alize" for example. would it be a filesystem driver problem? or something else?
[08:35] <chuckyp> davin: okay well the easiest way to do what you want is to either set up a file sharing network?  or just use scp.  But if you want to install an ftp server http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#FTP_Server
[08:35] <whyme> gnomebaker won't recognise them...
[08:35] <kengur> grr..
[08:35] <JGL> I need help with the audio capture of a logitech quickcam communicate, any advice?
[08:35] <davin> chuckyp: im looking for a solution to let 2 pc's (mine and my parents' windows box downstairs) upload and download files off a ftp server that is stored on my harddrive
[08:35] <Terminus> mAIJK: if you're using the nvidia driver, make sure that glx is loaded and dri and GLCore are NOT loaded.
[08:35] <kengur> i have an issue, i have ADSL, i connect using Dlink internal PPPoE, and the eth0 thing goes down after 10 minues or so, but the modem is connected
[08:35] <THX-1138> chico_: desktop shortcuts can be dragged to the menu bar on the top and bottom of the screen. right click .. launcher   .. command .. "shutdown now" options -f filecheck -r reboot
[08:35] <chuckyp> davin: you may want to read about samba a bit because you could just share files similiar to a windows file sharing network that you are probably use to.  i.e. just browsing for the files etc...
[08:35] <anibal_> t
[08:36] <indigoblu> davin: if you want windows share integartion use samba-server
[08:36] <indigoblu> davin: but if you are going to be remotly accessing files from outside your home network then use ssh
[08:36] <whyme> davi, did you checkout the guide under easylinux.info? it has the step by step instructions to do ust that!! :)
[08:36] <jisatsu_> how do I find out what charset ubuntu is using?
[08:36] <whyme> *davin
[08:36] <chuckyp> davin: like I say if you want to set up a ftp server check out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#FTP_Server  if you want to set up file sharing just message ubotu about samba
[08:36] <davin> indigoblu: nah just on the lan, like closed port
[08:36] <kengur> could the torrent client (Transmission) put the network down by trying to download too much? or it's stupid even to say that?
[08:36] <mAIJK> Terminus, "dri" is loaded... I made a bracket before it now
[08:36] <davin> okay ill check smb out, thanks guys!
[08:36] <Terminus> jisatsu_: sounds like an encoding problem. man mount and look for ntfs. there's a utf option and probably some other options for it too.
[08:37] <Terminus> mAIJK: just comment it out.
[08:37] <jisatsu_> ok, cool, thanks :) I'll take a look
[08:37] <chuckyp> davin: well if you don't need access outside I would use smb or ssh to copy the files back and forth.
[08:37] <Terminus> jisatsu_: good luck. =)
[08:37] <chuckyp> davin: samba probably being an easier solution.
[08:37] <THX-1138> !ppoe
[08:37] <crimsun> jisatsu_: FWIW, -o nls=utf8
[08:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ppoe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:37] <chuckyp> THX-1138: ahh beat me to it.
[08:38] <THX-1138> chuckyp - grin
[08:38] <jisatsu_> crimsun: can I put that in fstab anywhere?
[08:38] <THX-1138> Hi crimsun
[08:38] <crimsun> jisatsu_: yes, in the options column
[08:38] <crimsun> hi THX-1138
[08:38] <jisatsu_> crimsun: ok, I'll take a look :)
[08:38] <crimsun> jisatsu_: (just omit -o)
[08:39] <kengur> PPPoE is not the issue, the network goes down, and if i restart eth0 it's back for enother 10 minues
[08:39] <SAS_Spidey01> Can any one tell me if the hardware support in Dapper Drake is the same as Debian Sarge?
[08:39] <THX-1138> crimsun - kengur has an interesting question.
[08:39] <davin> so I have to add a user called samba?
[08:39] <chico_> The create laucher window asks me for Name, generic name, comment
[08:39] <chico_> what should i supply there
[08:40] <davin> default profile points to '/home/samba/profile'
[08:40] <kengur> THX-1138: it's a stupid one, actually... can u put down the network with bittorent client?
[08:40] <jisatsu_> crimsun: that did the trick, thanks :)
[08:41] <kengur> i mean if i just use it for browsing it just keeps on and on
[08:41] <m_tadeu> why does scantv says "device has no tuner"?
[08:41] <kengur> and i never got that before actually, i just got this recently
[08:41] <emerge> how can i add MAC into my /network/interfaces? (i mean syntax requirements)
[08:42] <chico_> i guess i will just reformat this freaking computer
[08:42] <chico_> I should have stayed with windows, this ubuntu is not so newbie friendly
[08:42] <chico_> grr
[08:42] <davin> chico_: whoa whoa whats the problem?
[08:42] <coolnerd> is there a command to scan for occupied ips on linux?
[08:42] <kengur> um... actually i capped the torrent thing at 90 percent... so i'll going to find out soon =)
[08:43] <chico_> All i want is to turn this computer off
[08:43] <chico_> all i see is the SYSTEM - QUIT
[08:43] <chico_> but doing so give me the gnome desktop manager
[08:43] <davin> chico_: from shell?
[08:43] <chico_> over an over again
[08:43] <davin> chico_: open a terminal and type 'sudo halt' ?
[08:43] <coolnerd> is there a command to scan for occupied ips on linux?
[08:43] <pike__> chico_: you cant choose shutdown instead of logoff?
[08:44] <davin> coolnerd: ifconfig?
[08:45] <graft> coolnerd: you mean which ips on a subnet are used?
[08:45] <coolnerd> graft, yes
[08:45] <coolnerd> 192.168.0.*
[08:45] <abbi2b> hi, just to confirm, i have installed ubuntu in my dell, for spm i need .686 kernel right?
[08:45] <graft> coolnerd: try arp -a

[08:46] <davin^afk> afk
[08:46] <graft> coolnerd: sudo arp -a even
[08:47] <coolnerd> thanks graft, it worked
[08:47] <graft> coolnerd: that's not a guarantee, that's just the things that happen to be in your ARP cache at the moment - to be sure you should try pinging the ip, etc.

[09:00] <CromagDK> i now get a CRC error on boot :(
[09:00] <anon32> CromagDK, um... isn't there crc

[09:01] <anon32> Tonren, you might want to just change your media player? MPlayer and VLC both recognize them
[09:01] <rbd> okay thanks guys, looks like not then (I think it is due to licensing issues with mysql)
[09:01] <Sambrista> Hi everybody. I've an AMD Sempron 3000+ . Which one is the correct kernel version, k7 or 686??
[09:02] <anon32> and the default music player will use w32codecs if they're installed
[09:02] <Tonren> anon32: I don't like those media players.
[09:02] <anon32> Tonren, mm...
[09:02] <ubuntu> ype "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[09:02] <pike__> Tonren: you dont like mplayer? i  use it under windows as well..
[09:02] <anon32> Tonren, life's about compromise - you can use VLC's save as option to encode, but I recommend a lossless transcode such as FLAC
[09:02] <Shaezsche> how much of a performance difference will the 686 kernel make over the 386 if im got a dual core pentium M?
[09:02] <ryanr> I am looking at the output from a fdisk -l on 2 computers the one that is working properly has a * in the column for boot the one that is not booting properly does not have an * How significant is that?
[09:02] <ubuntu> how do i figure out what tyhe number is if its /dev/hda3 for my root?
[09:02] <Tonren> pike__: I'm a fan of MPC's simplicity.  Who needs a GUI?
[09:02] <anon32> pike_, I never managed to get mplayer to use my dvds... I like VLC
[09:03] <esac_> hi does anybody use parallels? if so, is there a way to mount other physical ntfs partitions on the computer? also is there a way to send some keystrokes to the host instead of the guest ( such as ctrl+alt+<- )
[09:03] <ubuntu> how do i figure out what tyhe number is if its /dev/hda3 for my root? like root (hd0,6)
[09:03] <Tonren> anon32: I'll just find a conversion script and turn 'em into MP3s.  I don't mind a little loss of quality.  That's my compromise.
[09:03] <pike__> Shaezsche: a big diff if the default 386 doenst support smp

[09:05] <anon32> too bad gnomebaker sucks compared to k3b... but k3b is 50MB to download under GNOME
[09:05] <esac_> ubotu tell nikola about k3b

[09:05] <anon32> Tonren, WMAs are far from lossless...
[09:05] <pike__> [bash] : you can sudo gedit /etc/group and any group the original user is in put the new one like sound:x:23:user1,user2
[09:05] <bruenig> gnomebaker never fails for me
[09:05] <graft> this is why everyone should be running kde anyway
[09:05] <dyn-afk> wma is lossy as hell :P
[09:05] <ubuntu> Sambrista 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is. what does this mean
[09:05] <anon32> well, if you transcode lossy, it turns crap... if you transcode lossy to lossless, you get a larger size
[09:05] <boink> you need to put each user into the sound group in order to listen to sound?
[09:05] <dyn-afk> and it still is crap
[09:05] <Tonren> anon32: Well, I don't want a larger size... I'm just making them MP3s, dude.
[09:06] <anon32> bruenig, it appears to not have DVD-DL support
[09:06] <anon32> Tonren, go ahead and get LAME then
[09:06] <bruenig> never used that, must be why I never had a problem
[09:06] <Tonren> anon32: I downloaded a script called audio-convert
[09:06] <kengur> THX-1138: i got the same thing, apparently i didn't even get disconnected... but all the trafic stopped =(
[09:06] <anon32> Tonren, you may or may not have to save as wav first
[09:06] <anon32> bruenig, mm.... but k3b is much closer to Nero, which is incidentally unparalleled
[09:07] <Tonren> anon32: The script worked fine, man.  I might hack it to do batch conversions.
[09:07] <bruenig> nero for linux exists
[09:07] <bruenig> use that
[09:07] <boink> but it's commericial
[09:07] <anon32> Tonren, LAME is easily the best mp3 encoding codec

[09:07] <scott> anyone knwo why when I try to install emacs-snapshot it wants to uninstall openoffice, some dictionaries, and some python libs?
[09:07] <pike__> bruenig: i thought nero for linux was just a front end to existing tools the other burners already use?
[09:07] <bruenig> yeah and it sucks, I pirated it and it was worse than gnomebaker

[09:09] <dyn-afk> LjL whatever you put in /etc/resolv.conf will stick
[09:09] <graft> anon32: you're already pushing the envelope with 800M files, stick with console apps
[09:09] <pike__> LjL: well its dynamic so it will change not sure about what actually writes it on boot
[09:09] <LjL> dyn-afk: well, that wasn't the case on my Kubuntu Dapper install
[09:09] <davin> XxTwitchxX: yep
[09:09] <anon32> graft, just our of curiosity, will vim load it to memory?
[09:09] <bruenig> how could a text file possibly be 800 MB
[09:09] <anon32> I only have 512MB RAM
[09:09] <anon32> bruenig, it's a huge logfile
[09:10] <dyn-afk> LjL sometimes it will be overwriten because of the DHCP config
[09:10] <XxTwitchxX> ok, for a while it wasnt working :P
[09:10] <graft> anon32: yeah... you'll probably have to swap
[09:10] <bruenig> ah, has it logged the history of all computers?
[09:10] <LjL> dyn-afk: i made sure i set up static address in the KDE settings
[09:10] <anon32> graft, there wouldn't be some obscure app that loads it incrementally?
[09:10] <LjL> dyn-afk: i think i resolved it by removing the "resolvconf" package, or some similarly called
[09:10] <XxTwitchxX> Does anyone here have a PSP, because for some reason whenever i use linux and try and move music onto it, it never works
[09:10] <anon32> XxTwitchxX, and that doesn't suprise me, why?
[09:11] <ere> how can I change the menu in Gnome for all users? according to information I have read a special URI can be used in Nautilus, but when I try I just get messages that the URI cannot be opened
[09:11] <XxTwitchxX> anon32, uhh i dont know?
[09:11] <kengur> XxTwitchxX: right click on the media and Eject
[09:11] <XxTwitchxX> kengur, oh i do that after im done?
[09:11] <dyn-afk> ere you might need root privileges to make the changes
[09:11] <ryanr> I am looking at the output from a fdisk -l on 2 computers the one that is working properly has a * in the column for boot the one that is not booting properly does not have an * How significant is that?
[09:11] <dyn-afk> afterall, it's a systemfile
[09:12] <dyn-afk> ryanr apparently very significant :P
[09:12] <ere> dyn-afk: I think i tried with sudo natutilus <uri>, which also just gave me error messages
[09:12] <Zaggynl> how do I use lsof to only display open files, not network info?
[09:12] <dyn-afk> have you tried to change the config on the other machine so it also has a * ?
[09:12] <bruenig> ere, use gksudo not sudo for graphical apps
[09:12] <graft> anon32: um, not sure... i'd just try vim and see how it does
[09:12] <anon32> graft, done it... I had to hard reset
[09:12] <kengur> XxTwitchxX: i mean move the music first then Eject
[09:13] <XxTwitchxX> kengur, Worked like a charm, thanks alot!!!
[09:13] <graft> anon32: ow. out of curiosity, what is the file?
[09:13] <kengur> damn, someone please help me with this eth0 issue =(
[09:13] <anon32> graft, again, it's a massive unsplit log file
[09:13] <pike__> ryanr: you need on partition flagged bootable in fact cfdisk will complain if you try to write and quit without it
[09:14] <graft> anon32: do you have syntax highlighting off?
[09:14] <LjL> anon32: well, what do you want to do with it? search for some entries? edit it? there might be tools suited to the particular thing you want to do to it
[09:14] <anon32> graft, yep....
[09:14] <anon32> LjL, I want to read it... lol
[09:14] <graft> anon32: less?
[09:14] <anon32> although, I'm awfully close to just using a hexeditor and reading it
[09:14] <anon32> graft, everything's off
[09:14] <SeanTater> anon32: use tail or head (in the cli)
[09:14] <LjL> anon32, i can't believe you actually want to "read" all of it without any searching or something... heck, wikipedia is probably less than 800mb!
[09:14] <ryanr> pike_  The computer will boot to ubuntu but not to XP. Grub has a listing for xp but it ignores it.
[09:14] <dyn-afk> anon32 you can use awk if you want to split the file into smaller portions
[09:15] <graft> anon32: no, use less to read it...
[09:15] <dyn-afk> :P
[09:15] <XxTwitchxX> kengur, one more question, whenever i plug in my psp, rythmbox starts automatically, is there anyway to stop that?
[09:15] <anon32> LjL, wikipedia is 40GB
[09:15] <LjL> dyn-afk: or just the command "split" ;)
[09:15] <LjL> anon32: if you consider the entire edit history, probably. definitely *not* if you don't
[09:15] <SeanTater> anon32: even without images or scripts?
[09:15] <graft> wikipedia is like 2 gs of actual text
[09:15] <dyn-afk> depends on how you want to split a file LjL
[09:15] <graft> plus images it might be more, but the text is actually quite small
[09:15] <spatry> Hi.  How do I query which package contains a file?  like "what provides"?
[09:15] <anon32> SeanTater, well, text only it's only a couple hundred megs
[09:15] <spatry> with apt-?
[09:16] <LjL> !apt-file > spatry
[09:16] <SeanTater> anon32: exactly...
[09:16] <kengur> XxTwitchxX: dunno actually
[09:16] <kengur> XxTwitchxX: don't have a psp
[09:16] <XxTwitchxX> kengur, lol bummer :P
[09:16] <spatry> LjL: thx, I'll try
[09:16] <scott> spatry: packages.ubuntu.com
[09:16] <XxTwitchxX> Does anyone know how to stop rythmbox from automatically starting whenever you plug in a flash USB device?
[09:17] <whiprush> XxTwitchxX: look in system->prefs->removable drives and media
[09:18] <XxTwitchxX> whiprush, Yup that did the trick :D
[09:18] <KDan> is there a way to tell *nix to run a script as a particular user?
[09:18] <KDan> e.g.: runasuser 3rdparty my3rdpartyscript.sh
[09:18] <yogurtthewise> hi there
[09:18] <LjL> KDan: "su", i suppose
[09:18] <yogurtthewise> what was that indexing program similar to beagle?
[09:19] <yogurtthewise> there's one afaik which ubuntu tried to push a while back
[09:19] <anon32> say, what's better - su or sudo?
[09:19] <ere> spatry: you can use dpkg -S <filename> for instance dpkg -S /sbin/mkswap will return util-linux
[09:20] <XxTwitchxX> Anyone here use ZSnes?
[09:20] <mwe> or use apt-file search
[09:20] <pike__> KDan: heres an example doing that for vncserver on my machine su - username -c "vncserver :1" you can replace stuff in quotes with whatever
[09:20] <LjL> anon32: you usually use sudo on ubuntu. however, i was thinking about a generic situation on a generic unix when you want to run a script as a different user, honestly
[09:21] <yogurtthewise> always more useless
[09:21] <Snark> hi
[09:21] <XxTwitchxX> Does anyone here use ZSnes
[09:21] <LjL> !anyone
[09:21] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:22] <graft> anon32: only advantage of sudo is you have to remember only 1 password, i think
[09:22] <mwe> I don't think sudo lets you run something as a different user except root, does it?
[09:22] <dyn-afk> if you don;t set a password for the root account and you manage to screw up your useraccount with admin privileges then you need to do some tricks with the livecd
[09:22] <KDan> pike__: cheers
[09:22] <LjL> graft: *and* you don't have to type "exit" if you only want to execute a single command as the different user
[09:22] <dyn-afk> if you have a root account with a password you know then it's very easy to fix
[09:22] <anon32> I like su because well... you can keep typing stuff
[09:22] <dyn-afk> sudo -i will do that too anon32
[09:22] <XxTwitchxX> Whenever I use ZSnes, there is always a 1 second delay between when i press a button, and the sound that it should make, anyone know any fixes/
[09:22] <LjL> anon32: type "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" for that
[09:22] <graft> mwe -  you can do sudo -u, i think?
[09:23] <anon32> meh
[09:23] <dyn-afk> besides that...su means that you become a different user
[09:23] <graft> LjL su - c, man
[09:23] <dyn-afk> which sudo doesn't
[09:23] <LjL> graft: uh?
[09:23] <KDan> su works
[09:23] <graft> LjL err, su -c
[09:23] <KDan> thanks all
[09:23] <XxTwitchxX> Anyone?
[09:23] <LjL> dyn-afk, well, in practical terms maybe, but "sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers file."
[09:23] <anon32> I hate Ubuntu, all my spyware doesn't run anymore :-P
[09:24] <XxTwitchxX> anon32, lmao
[09:24] <LjL> graft: ok, but what with su -c?
[09:24] <graft> sudo has timestamping, su doesn't...
[09:24] <davin> Im adding a user for my samba user but the /hiome/samba folder doesnt come up
[09:24] <davin> I tried mkdir
[09:24] <mwe> graft: yeah, looking at the man page it seems you're right. I didn't know
[09:24] <XxTwitchxX> I cant get my viruses working >.<
[09:24] <dyn-afk> LjL: su does more then that :)
[09:24] <jmitchj> Does anyone know if it is possible to get Mplayer video playing through my s-video to my TV through ubuntu?
[09:24] <dyn-afk> su username means you become that user
[09:24] <KDan> anon32: try running it under WINE
[09:24] <graft> LjL - su -c odesn't require you to hit ctrl-d after it runs a command
[09:24] <anon32> KDan, lol
[09:24] <dyn-afk> sudo is only used to hand out some root privileges
[09:25] <anon32> KDan, but what if it was fancy DirectX spyware?
[09:25] <LjL> graft: ah, ok
[09:25] <dyn-afk> su is different from that
[09:25] <KDan> anon32: nothing's impossible under linux :-)
[09:25] <KDan> i'm sure it'll work with the crossover plugin and all that
[09:25] <KDan> you might have to hack around a bit before the most fancy spyware works
[09:25] <graft> jmitchj: depends what card you have
[09:25] <anon32> KDan, but you have to *pay* for crossover/cedega
[09:25] <dyn-afk> if you don't set the right permissions on a file/dir you might run into problems with sudo and you need su -
[09:26] <LjL> anon32: well, wine has experimental DirectWhatever support. just wait
[09:26] <maXlo> hello!
[09:26] <KDan> anon32: you get what you pay for
[09:26] <anon32> :-p
[09:26] <dyn-afk> sudo isn't a full root, su - is
[09:26] <graft> jmitchj: i've only ever done it for ATIs using 'atitvout' app, assuming Xorg supports tvout for your card
[09:26] <budluva> hrmm i have a small problem with my new ati drivers
[09:26] <jmitchj> graft: I have a Compaq Presario R4000 laptop with ATI i'm pretty sure
[09:26] <anon32> WINE is sloooow... I just tested utorrent on it yesterday and god was the app laggy
[09:26] <maXlo> I need ugently a live-cd that uses grub as it bootloader, and i think that the old ubuntus did so
[09:26] <maXlo> but not the new ones
[09:26] <KDan> anon32: most spyware are pretty lightweight
[09:26] <maXlo> am i correct/
[09:27] <graft> jmitchj: yeah fiddle around with atitvout
[09:27] <KDan> they only slow down your computer when they want to
[09:27] <bruenig> anon32, I use utorrent, works perfect, I am running it right now, in fact it always runs on its own workspace
[09:27] <anon32> KDan, lol
[09:27] <dyn-afk> why would you want to have grub as a bootloader for a livecd maXlo ?
[09:27] <kengur> how do i change MTU on eth0?
[09:27] <anon32> bruenig, meh, I just notice lag and slowness in the widgets (or whatever they're called in Windows)
[09:27] <XxTwitchxX> I hate ZSNES
[09:27] <bruenig> oh the little wine system tray thing?
[09:27] <dyn-afk> kengur: do a man ifconfig, it's there in the manpage
[09:27] <TokuRed> anyone here from indonesia... i'd like to ask something...
[09:27] <jmitchj> graft: Thanks, i'll give it a try
[09:28] <KDan> fyi: sudo -i -u dan /root/test.sh << also works
[09:28] <maXlo> dyn-afk: I need to edit the boot options (it's a long story :S)
[09:28] <kengur> dyn-afk: thanks
[09:28] <maXlo> dyn-afk: I need to boot a windows partition :(
[09:28] <THX-1138>    !irc
[09:28] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/) - Also see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines
[09:28] <dyn-afk> maXlo then boot with the livecd, mount the root partition on the harddrive and change the option for grub
[09:28] <jmitchj> graft: do you know if it's available for 64bit processor?
[09:29] <dyn-afk> if you run grub on the livecd and change that it means it will change the grub config of the livecd and not the one on your harddrive
[09:29] <THX-1138> there are channels for most languages. - sorry i don't know what language is spoken in Indonesia.
[09:29] <kengur> dyn-afk: may be you can also answer the main question here i'm at.. i have ADSL over PPPoE and my network goes down even though the modem is still connected
[09:29] <dyn-afk> in other words: changing the grub of the livecd is pretty much useless

[09:29] <anon32> lmao
[09:29] <anon32> but it knows
[09:29] <maXlo> dyn-afk: it is not that easy. i had to romeve linux from that hard disk (my boss...), and i need to boot to windows. unfotunately, i screwed up the mbr

[09:29] <deadwalkin> hey guys need help trying to get my laptop to work with this but res is up the creek lol samsung V25 any one no
[09:29] <dyn-afk> does it come up again kengur ?
[09:30] <TokuRed> okay THX-1138 ... ^^
[09:30] <dyn-afk> maXlo you want to restore your mbr so windows will boot again?
[09:30] <dyn-afk> if so it's easier:
[09:30] <dyn-afk> get your windows cd
[09:30] <dyn-afk> boot from it
[09:30] <kengur> dyn-afk: no i manually restart the eth0 from network properties, i don't even get disconnected fron IRC, but all the trafic stops
[09:30] <KDan> THX-1138: how can ubotu not know about the best irc client, irssi?
[09:30] <dyn-afk> if it's win2k or xp then go to the rescue console
[09:31] <dyn-afk> type fixmbr and reboot
[09:31] <dyn-afk> that's it
[09:31] <kengur> dyn-afk: the PPPoE thing is via my Dlink modem internal client
[09:31] <maXlo> dyn-afk: yes.... and i do not have the CD
[09:31] <deadwalkin> does any one no how to get the res to work on the samsung V25
[09:31] <JDStone> anyone here familiar with smartmontools and SATA drives?
[09:31] <maXlo> dyn-afk: it is my job
[09:31] <maXlo> dyn-afk: sorry:
[09:31] <jmitchj> graft: do you know if it's available for 64bit processor?
[09:31] <dyn-afk> try to get a hold of a bootdisk with fdisk
[09:31] <anon32> gah, I just notice that writing mp3 tags is a tedious task... is there a tool to automate this (i.e. write a set of tags for every file in a directory)?
[09:31] <THX-1138> Tokured - We could try to help you here. - it may take longer
[09:31] <maXlo> dyn-afk: it is my job's laptop, the do not have the CD
[09:31] <dyn-afk> fdisk /mbr also helps maXlo (it does the same as fixmbr btw)
[09:31] <graft> jmitchj: processor shouldn't matter
[09:32] <KDan> anon32: many such tools. look on freshmeat.net
[09:32] <dyn-afk> if they don't have the cd then their idiots :P
[09:32] <jmitchj> graft: The debian package says it's I386
[09:32] <maXlo> dyn-afk: the disk is a SCSI one... any bootdisk will do? dont i need some special driver?
[09:32] <THX-1138> KDan - Do you have the command to ignore channel messges? enter and quit?
[09:32] <dyn-afk> you might maXlo
[09:32] <ubuntu> y0
[09:32] <dyn-afk> but if it's a computer from work then let them fix it
[09:32] <dyn-afk> it's their job :P
[09:32] <deadwalkin> lol you do when you have installed this and your drivers r naff. but run ok when you have fed 6 on it
[09:33] <KDan> THX-1138: hmm, no, those don't bother me. why, is that the reason you don't use it?
[09:33] <ubuntu> how do i determine what wireless card my laptop has?
[09:33] <maXlo> dyn-afk: i will try... i have a win xp xp1 installation disk, but i doesnot recognize my hard disk, and it refuses to open a rescue console
[09:33] <dyn-afk> kengur only has 1 modem and it's from d-link ?
[09:33] <ubuntu> and what driver to use?
[09:33] <maXlo> dyn-afk: so, i can not run fixmbr :D
[09:33] <THX-1138> KDan - I love irssi - the docs are thin - found a few  commands but not all and not enough of them.
[09:33] <kengur> dyn-afk: could it be that MTU on the modem is 1400 and on my eth0 1500 and that causing this?
[09:33] <ere> ubuntu: try to use lshw
[09:34] <dyn-afk> could be, but it can be like anything
[09:34] <dyn-afk> your isp might have some troubles
[09:34] <pike__> ubuntu: lspci -v might be a start. you might copy and run this in a terminal sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[09:34] <deadwalkin> please please need help have just put ubuntu on my laptop but res will only stay at 640 need to fix it love this new style
[09:34] <dyn-afk> you might have some wiring problem
[09:34] <dyn-afk> etc.
[09:34] <THX-1138> KDan - I couldn't make sense of /bot <command>
[09:34] <KDan> http://ref.yadda.net/irssi-manual.txt
[09:34] <kengur> dyn-afk: yes, its the only one i have that actually works with linux, cause u don't have to install any drivers =)
[09:34] <dyn-afk> :P
[09:35] <THX-1138> KDan - Thanks going to check it out.
[09:35] <ubuntu> ok ill try
[09:35] <KDan> i think /ignore #ubuntu JOINS perhaps
[09:35] <KDan> yep
[09:35] <KDan> seems to do it
[09:35] <maXlo> ok, thanks a lot! I will give it another try
[09:35] <dyn-afk> kengur can you hook up a different machine on that modem ?
[09:35] <KDan> and /ignore #ubuntu PARTS
[09:35] <railz> what package provides disks-admin?
[09:36] <KDan> there. can't see any joins/parts
[09:36] <kengur> dyn-afk: so could the MTU thing cause that? i recently got speed increased by my ISP and i never had this issue with eth0 going down so frequiently before
[09:36] <KDan> also /ignore #ubuntu QUITS
[09:36] <THX-1138> KDan - hm, wondering how i missed that. - nice link thank you.
[09:36] <kengur> dyn-afk: nop, i have only 1 puter =(
[09:36] <dyn-afk> shoot :(
[09:36] <ubuntu> huh?
[09:36] <KDan> THX-1138: no problem :-P does seem hard to miss, it's the first link when googling "irssi manual" :-P
[09:36] <cRoW2k> hi
[09:36] <dyn-afk> mtu might just be a setting on the internetside of the modem
[09:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Is there a way to restart my Ubuntu Internet connection.  If I boot up and do not have my modem on it does not see the internet even after I turn it on.
[09:37] <dyn-afk> so it's the modem's job to translate that to ethernet
[09:37] <THX-1138> KDan - you are a funny guy. - lol - NOT! ;)
[09:37] <dyn-afk> it actually translates atm to ethernet and the other way around
[09:37] <bruenig> Jack_Sparrow, usually I do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[09:37] <cRoW2k> i've remove powernowd to install cpufreq, but after reboot, cpufreq fail to start. Someone can help me ?
[09:37] <dyn-afk> different protocols, different mtu's :)
[09:37] <fanch_> hello
[09:37] <KDan> THX-1138: you can set most of that stuff in the startup file i believe, though don't ask me how... my irssi box very rarely reboots so i can't be bothered :-)
[09:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bruenig: thanks
[09:38] <kengur> dyn-afk: i totally don't have a clue, but it goes down when i load the channel full capacity, which isn't much.. 512kbps actually
[09:39] <jmitchj> graft: any other ideas other than atitvout?...it won;t install on my system
[09:39] <CromagDK> !crc
[09:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:39] <deadwalkin> sorry guys but still have a res issue with a samsung V25
[09:39] <dyn-afk> kengur me neither :(
[09:40] <THX-1138> KDan - It seems much faster to type what you need than wade through a gui. even when it isn't it can be scripted to do *exactly* what you want.
[09:40] <cRoW2k> nothing ?
[09:40] <dyn-afk> get in contact with your isp, let them check the connection, maybe they see something wrong between them and your modem that causes the link to go down
[09:40] <phaedrus44> i just found out my card is broadcom 4311     ....how to go about installing the wireless/

[09:44] <Jack_Sparrow> deadwalkin: Did you install the drivers for your video card or is it still vesa
[09:44] <phaedrus44> i did modprobe bcm43xx   and now wha?
[09:44] <phaedrus44> iwconfig doesnt list the card
[09:44] <SkramX> If I want to dualboot windows and ubuntu (on a laptop), which should I install first? Windows so it doesnt overwrite the (GRUB) bootloader?
[09:44] <pike__> and1: inside alsamixer there are some additional settings you can get to by hitting F4
[09:45] <THX-1138> Windows

[09:46] <deadwalkin> sorry mate thats above me lol
[09:46] <THX-1138> SkramX - It will work in a single click "install" from the standard iso.
[09:46] <deadwalkin> i had windows on here before and installed unbuntu
[09:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[09:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:46] <deadwalkin> thanks mate
[09:47] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[09:47] <THX-1138> SkramX - Welcome to the linux community.
[09:47] <Jack_Sparrow> later people.. play nice...
[09:47] <deadwalkin> i thought the samsung V25 was pentium graphics
[09:47] <SkramX> THX-1138: im not new to linux :)
[09:47] <blkcamarozr28> Anyone know if there are any free software that you can load up on your web server so you can do a network speed test?
[09:47] <Tru7h> Which file should I download and install for Gaim?
[09:47] <SkramX> I use gentoo for work all the time
[09:48] <SkramX> I am just going to reinstall windows on my acer laptop and try out ubuntu
[09:48] <SkramX> i need windows for webdev work i do
[09:48] <SkramX> :)
[09:48] <Ramunas> SkramX: I do webdev on linux, no problems
[09:48] <SkramX> right.. i want to do testing with I.E.
[09:48] <boink> Tru7th:: apt-get install gaim
[09:49] <SkramX> as well as gtk on windows stuff when i get into it
[09:49] <ubunt> hi. what bittorrent client is good?
[09:49] <and1> pike__: thanks heaps. Alsamixer sorted it out perfectly.
[09:49] <KDan> THX-1138: indeed - that's what i like about irssi. it's like the linux of irc clients :-)
[09:50] <Tru7h> boink: It says "permission denied"
[09:50] <pike__> and1: ran into the same thing yesterday setting up ekiga :)
[09:50] <KDan> THX-1138: bitchx is the only comparable client, but the difference is that in bitchx everything seems to be set up by default to be wrong, whereas in irssi all the default settings are more or less correct
[09:50] <THX-1138> Skramx - Gentoo? - Okay. You have true "Street Cred'" with me (Refugee from AOL and have used Ubuntu for almost a year) gentoo docs are very good. - Shh! you didn't hear that from me.
[09:51] <boink> Tru7th: sudo apt-get install gaim
[09:51] <SkramX> THX-1138: what? hehe
[09:51] <SkramX> gentoo was my first major distro i used full time on home computers and i use it at work too
[09:51] <THX-1138> KDan - irssi is just great. - Only beginning to discover the power of scripting.
[09:52] <boink> duh .. irssi I mean :P
[09:52] <hou5ton> I can't get my wireless to work on Dapper .... any help?  It doesn't seem to see the networks
[09:52] <KDan> boink++
[09:52] <kyja> hou5ton, we have a problem
[09:52] <kyja> lol
[09:52] <hou5ton> yep
[09:52] <hou5ton> LOL
[09:52] <THX-1138> SramX - I was just being silly. - everyone knoes more about linux than i do. see websters dictionary "Noob" - thats my pic near the definition.
[09:52] <kyja> hou5ton, ok I might be able to help
[09:53] <BHSPitLappy> I could really use help with wireless, as well.
[09:53] <kyja> hou5ton, what is your wireless?
[09:53] <Tru7h> Gaim crashes right after I log onto my MSN account.
[09:53] <THX-1138> KDan - do you have a script for spell checking. - ah nvm i would just add made up words anyway.
[09:53] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, what version?
[09:54] <KDan> THX-1138: no i haven't scripted it much - as i said it seems to do most things right out of the box
[09:54] <phI||Ip> Im new to Linux...  Im not sure how to find out if my Centrino chipset is supported in Ubuntu... including the 3D video, intel 945gm
[09:54] <Tru7h> It's the latest one, I just checked.
[09:54] <KDan> haven't even bothered setting up autojoin!
[09:54] <anon32> A quick question: I know that Vorbis encodes at a better quality than MP3, but is there a codec that beats Vorbis?
[09:54] <phI||Ip> I was thinking of using Cedega for casual gaming
[09:54] <Tru7h> @BHSPitLappy
[09:54] <KDan> anon32: wav
[09:54] <BHSPitLappy> phI||Ip, your video driver shold be i810, and yes
[09:54] <KDan> anon32: pcm-encoded wav that is
[09:54] <THX-1138> FLAC - lossless
[09:54] <hou5ton> internal ... BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
[09:54] <KDan> or flac too
[09:54] <anon32> ok, is there a better lossy codec?
[09:54] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, 2.0beta3.1?
[09:54] <and1> advice.. after installing dapper, do you think it's a good idea to check all the Ubuntu channels under installation media? as well as enabling universe and multiverse?
[09:55] <hou5ton> kyja:  BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
[09:55] <phI||Ip> Sweet, I know it detected my wireless perfectly, how does one check to see if 3D is working?
[09:55] <BHSPitLappy> and1, yes
[09:55] <THX-1138> anon32 - hm, guessing *.ogg is it.
[09:55] <kyja> hou5ton, w00t I can help =]
[09:55] <graft> and1: definitely enable universe and multiverse, ubuntu is very conservative
[09:55] <hou5ton> kyja:  great ... what's next
[09:55] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: How do I check? I just used "sudo apt-get install gaim"
[09:55] <anon32> THX-1138, um... ogg isn't a codec, oggs are typically Vorbis encoded though
[09:55] <kyja> can you get this file http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
[09:55] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, go to About in gaim
[09:56] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, I don't think the true latest version is in the repos.
[09:56] <Tru7h> v1.5.1cvs
[09:56] <THX-1138> anon32 - Okay, there you go teaching me something again. ignorance was bliss. - never should'a left windoze.
[09:57] <and1> ok.. thanks.
[09:57] <BHSPitLappy> THX-1138, sticking with windows is never the solution
[09:57] <kyja> hou5ton, if you cant get http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o         I can send I think
[09:57] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: How can I install the latest version?
[09:57] <anon32> THX-1138, um... what have I ever taught you?
[09:57] <hou5ton> kyja:  what is that?
[09:57] <dudley> there a semi offical way to stick glibc 2.4 on?
[09:58] <kyja> it is drivers hou5ton
[09:58] <deadwalkin> tbh what ihave seen so far its not a bad program
[09:58] <SeanTater> synth7:  nice quit message
[09:58] <LjL> perhaps nicer in lowercase
[09:58] <SeanTater> LjL: true
[09:58] <kyja> hou5ton, I actualy am going to try to send. it has everything you need.
[09:59] <hou5ton> ok ... it's not seeming to download
[09:59] <deadwalkin> like i have always said windows suck!!!
[09:59] <CVirus> Anybody succeeded in getting a Broadcom 4311 wireless card to work ?
[09:59] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, you can find deb packages if you google
[10:00] <matt__> how can i fix xine from skipping frames
[10:00] <boink> why would you want to find .debs on google?
[10:00] <boink> ubuntu has like 10,000 to choose from
[10:00] <bernie> how can i redetect my monitor resolutions? i changed my monitor
[10:00] <hou5ton> ok ... it's downloaded
[10:00] <hou5ton> kyja:  ok .. it's downloaded
[10:00] <Ramunas> night everybody
[10:01] <pike__> bernie: you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you like
[10:01] <kyja> hou5ton, ok now get it on to your ubuntu machine.
[10:01] <bruenig> boink, google has those 10,000 and then some
[10:01] <hou5ton> kyja:  yes ..it's on the desktop
[10:01] <kyja> hou5ton, also it should be very instructional what to do but I can still help
[10:01] <hou5ton> kyja:  just right-click and open?
[10:02] <javaJake> I have this error with the i810 driver in Xorg.0.log: "[drm]  drmSetBusid failed (7, pci:0000:00:02.0), Permission denied"
[10:02] <javaJake> Any ideas anyone?

[10:02] <jerryb> Quick question:  For mplayer, where do I find w32codecs? (can't find it in the wiki
[10:02] <javaJake> bruenig, sorry, I didn't mean to sound... angry.
[10:03] <javaJake> I'll refrain from such comments in the future. :)
[10:03] <kyja> hou5ton, ok. the 3 files inside folder "move out to desktop" you want to move to desktop
[10:03] <matt__> whenever i watch DVDs on xine it runs very roughly, and it doesnt go smooth
[10:03] <hou5ton> kyja:  where would xchat have saved it?

[10:03] <THX-1138> jerryb - used to be on sourceforge - you might try the penguin liberation front. or the other french site.
[10:03] <anon32> matt__, CPU and graphics card, and is DMA on?
[10:03] <kyja> ok. goto your home folder. and do ctrl-h
[10:03] <aLPHa_LeaK> penguin liberation front is where i got mine.
[10:03] <bruenig> I would answer regardless of the attitude, if I knew of course. I happen to not know, but I could see how others might but just say "what a jerk, he can help himself"
[10:04] <KDan> THX-1138: penguin liberation front? the traitors!
[10:04] <matt__> what is DMA?
[10:04] <kyja> find .xchat and look inside
[10:04] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, you have to uninstall gaim first. (don't be afraid of uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, too, it's just a metapackage.)
[10:04] <aLPHa_LeaK> we are not #debian :P
[10:04] <KDan> THX-1138: unlike the heros, the penguin front of liberation
[10:04] <KDan> *heroes
[10:04] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: How can I uninstall it?
[10:04] <THX-1138> KDan - honestly - the name makes me nervous.
[10:04] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: Sorry for my noobishness.
[10:04] <jerryb> Ah looks like I'm out of luck at the moment  since I run amd64
[10:04] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, in Synaptic, probably Add/Remove, or just "sudo apt-get remove gaim"
[10:05] <KDan> THX-1138: doesn't make me as nervous as wikipedia's "ArbCom"
[10:05] <matt__> I had the same problem yesterday and i don't remember how i fixed it, it was through the terminal
[10:05] <Tru7h> Thanks.
[10:05] <THX-1138> KDan - off to google it.
[10:05] <javaJake> Tru7h, BHSPitLappy, uh... uninstalling ubuntu-desktop should make you nervous. It represents the packages required for an ubuntu system.
[10:05] <KDan> seriously, when i first heard it mentioned on a slashdot thread i thought "wtf???"
[10:05] <anon32> :-( trying to wipe any of the default packages causes "ubuntu-desktop" to wipe
[10:05] <KDan> "did they decide to take a leaf out of 1984 or something?"
[10:05] <BHSPitLappy> javaJake, remove ubuntu-desktop and see what happens.
[10:05] <BHSPitLappy> (nothing.)
[10:05] <KDan> turns out they don't even know who they're emulating, and they actually call their Arbitration Committee "ArbCom" in good faith
[10:06] <anon32> yea, ubuntu-desktop is a dummy that depends on all the packages - it exists to make installing Ubuntu easy
[10:06] <kyja> hou5ton, so inside of Places>Home Folder  you do ctrl-h and it will make all visable. find .xchat folder.
[10:06] <javaJake> BHSPitLappy, the ubuntu-desktop package is there for a reason, and that is to keep things "in order".
[10:06] <hou5ton> kyja:  got it
[10:06] <kyja> k =]
[10:06] <hou5ton> kyja:  ok .. i've moved that folder to desktop
[10:06] <bruenig> if you do uninstall ubuntu-desktop, make sure you reinstall it before upgrading
[10:06] <graft> wow, north korean nuclear test, holy shit
[10:06] <BHSPitLappy> javaJake, it's a meta-package, and it depends on all those packages. installing it grabs those packages in an easy way, but removing it does nothing.
[10:06] <javaJake> BHSPitLappy, I understand it is a meta-package, but in the long-term removing it will cause issues
[10:06] <bruenig> !offtopic
[10:06] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:07] <BHSPitLappy> javaJake, disagreed.
[10:07] <graft> yeah, yeah,... sorry, offtopic
[10:07] <anon32> javaJake, no.. removing it does nothing
[10:07] <anon32> although you can't use apt-get install dist-upgrade without downloading it again
[10:07] <kyja> hou5ton, the 3 filesd inside the "move out to desktop" need to be places out on desktop. double click the .deb file to install
[10:07] <KDan> bruenig: soz :-) done with the OT chat
[10:07] <BHSPitLappy> and downloading it again is painless.
[10:07] <BHSPitLappy> since you already have most of the deps.
[10:07] <javaJake> Whatever. :P

[10:08] <BHSPitLappy> does anyone have a few moments to spare helping me get my wireless connected?
[10:08] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: Another error... "Dependency is not satisfiable : gaim-data"
[10:08] <bruenig> ah OT is shorthand for offtopic got you, soz must be shorthand for sorry
[10:08] <bruenig> I see
[10:08] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, wherever you downloaded the deb should also have that
[10:08] <QuoVadis> hi
[10:08] <kyja> hou5ton, once fwcutter installs you can do sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[10:08] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, they split it into two packages.
[10:08] <javaJake> BHSPitLappy, I might
[10:08] <KDan> bruenig: yes... :-)
[10:08] <scott> how do you find maintainer for a package in apt? (not installed)
[10:08] <javaJake> BHSPitLappy, my knowledge is limited, though, so be prepared for disappointment. :)
[10:08] <anon32> question - what's the best lossless video codec (speed and compression balanced)?
[10:09] <bruenig> perhaps these are written somewhere, I need to get familiar
[10:09] <KDan> anon32: FLAC

[10:09] <jmitchj> When looking to download ATi Drivers...how do i know if i need XFree86 driver or X.Org?

[10:09] <KDan> video
[10:09] <anon32> lol.... 650 spam in my inbox
[10:09] <BHSPitLappy> I've got an atheros-based belkin PCI card, detected successfully as ath0 with madwifi.  My home network is WPA Personal protected, and network-manager doesn't work for me (nm-applet won't even start without sudo, and then it has no wireless)
[10:10] <hou5ton> kyja:  and then what .. am I done?
[10:10] <kyja> hou5ton, nope not done.
[10:11] <kyja> hou5ton, also do sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/2.6 {press tab} ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[10:11] <jmitchj> When looking to download ATi Drivers...how do i know if i need XFree86 driver or X.Org?
[10:11] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: Have done so, same error.
[10:11] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, what?
[10:11] <BHSPitLappy> KDan, maybe you have some input RE: wireless?
[10:11] <highneko> Know of any programs for video-screen-capture?
[10:11] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: Should I be running gaim-data?
[10:11] <graveson> where can i find some good nautilus scripts ?
[10:11] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, erm... you should download the gaim-data package, install it, then install the gaim package
[10:11] <KDan> BHSPitLappy: fraid not
[10:12] <javaJake> I have this error with the i810 driver in Xorg.0.log: "[drm]  drmSetBusid failed (7, pci:0000:00:02.0), Permission denied"... any ideas?
[10:12] <Tru7h> BHSPitLappy: Thanks, I'll try that.
[10:12] <kyja> hou5ton, are you on cat5 right now? if so also do sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome then you should be done after you do your configureations.
[10:13] <tonyyarusso> jmitchj: How to know in general I'm not quite sure, but Ubuntu uses X.org
[10:13] <jmitchj> ok...thanks
[10:13] <BHSPitLappy> Tru7h, no prob.
[10:13] <hou5ton> kyja:  this istruction isn't working ..... bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/2.6
[10:13] <javaJake> hou5ton, what's your issue?
[10:13] <jenda> I need help with my internet connection. I set a static IP for my PC and forwarded a port to it. Yay, azureus now works great. Unfortunately, all my other applications fail to connect. I suppose they still expect the old settings somehow.
[10:14] <kyja> hou5ton, aftier the 2.6 press the tab key to have it finish the folder name
[10:14] <pike__> jmitchj: you can ls /etc/X11 youll either have an xorg.conf of XFree86 config file
[10:14] <hou5ton> it says there are 2079 possibilities
[10:14] <javaJake> ROFL
[10:14] <pike__> jmitchj: of==or
[10:14] <kyja> hou5ton, oh my !!
[10:15] <graveson> where is the script directory for nautilus ?
[10:15] <javaJake> hou5ton, you probably made a space after 2.6... make sure it's just 2.6 at the end
[10:15] <kyja> hou5ton, well =]  we wanted to put a copy of the driver files into your kernel folder if that helps you.
[10:15] <suprsonic> is there a good linux diag boot cd that I can use to mount a nfs mount?
[10:15] <javaJake> hou5ton, 2079 possibilities is right in the ballpark for meaning "everything's possible" ;)
[10:15] <kyja> lol
[10:16] <jmitchj> pike_: Thanks...xorg.conf it is
[10:16] <hou5ton> kyja:  no space after the 2.6 ... still 2079 possibilities ????
[10:16] <kyja> hou5ton, no no space. just push tab to have it finnish the kernel folder nameds.
[10:17] <jackrazz_> Anyone where is the gui for mounting/unmounting and checking read-only permissions for a partition in edgy?
[10:17] <javaJake> hou5ton, after pressing tab and getting the "possibility" remark from your terminal, copy and paste what you've typed in so far.
[10:18] <tabias> in the readme they are saying to compile
[10:18] <kyja> hou5ton, ok we dont know why there are so many folders in there that start with 2.6 but if you know what your kernel is.
[10:18] <dyn-afk> jackrazz_ you mean something like gparted?
[10:18] <tabias> but I don't have a clue how to do it :$
[10:18] <tabias> To compile this plugin simply run 'make'. If you want to compile it
[10:18] <tabias> using another compiler than gcc run 'make CC=$COMPILER' (replace
[10:18] <tabias> $COMPILER by the compiler you want to use).

[10:20] <jackrazz_> I've use gparted, what i want is to set permissions in fstab via some gnome gui
[10:20] <pike__> kata: then sudo apt-get update
[10:21] <javaJake> kata, goto System -> Administration -> Software Properties and remove any CD entries. If you want the CD back again, click on the "Add CD" button.
[10:21] <dyn-afk> I haven't seen a default tool in dapper which can do something like that
[10:21] <hou5ton> kyja: I got this ... hou5ton-laptop 2.6.15-27-386
[10:21] <javaJake> kata, (my instructions are GUI. :P )
[10:21] <dyn-afk> gparted and discs come close to doing what you want
[10:21] <kyja> hou5ton, sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/2.6.15-27-386 ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[10:21] <pike__> javaJake: bah :)
[10:21] <jackrazz_> ok, havn't heard of discs...I'll google it
[10:21] <kyja> thats the line then
[10:21] <jackrazz_> thanks
[10:21] <dyn-afk> System > Administration > Discs
[10:21] <hou5ton> kyja:  done
[10:22] <dyn-afk> discs is there by default
[10:22] <philipsmith> How do I get macromedia flash stuff to work?? I've installed Macromedial flashplugin-nonfree installed. I'm running Dapper 686.
[10:22] <hou5ton> kyja:  anything else?
[10:22] <dyn-afk> you can also mount something and then check the permission from within nautilus
[10:22] <javaJake> pike_, LOL
[10:22] <jackrazz_> discs was what I was looking for, but it doesn't seem to be there in edgy
[10:22] <AndyCooll> Hi folks, anyone able to solve a permissions query for me?
[10:22] <kyja> hou5ton, sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome <== if you can get it. your done restart required.
[10:23] <javaJake> I have this error with the i810 driver in Xorg.0.log: "[drm]  drmSetBusid failed (7, pci:0000:00:02.0), Permission denied"... Any ideas?
[10:23] <AndyCooll> I've got a file server to which I've attached an external hard-drive
[10:23] <dyn-afk> I think you need to edit the menus jackrazz_
[10:23] <dyn-afk> let me check :)
[10:23] <AndyCooll> It's recognised as /media/usbdisk ...ok so far
[10:24] <hou5ton> kyja:  ok ... I'll restart and see if I can pick up the wireless.  In a previous version of Ubuntu, I had to not have the cat5 activated, or else the wireless would work .... it couldn't do both at once ... is that still the same?
[10:24] <dyn-afk> nope, I don't see it in any menu and there's no point in editing the menus because it's simply not there
[10:24] <AndyCooll> However when I try to copy to it I get an "cp: omitting directory ..." error mesage
[10:24] <CromagDK> i have a smaller issue here: i get CRC errors when booting but im unsure if its Hardware error OR software error. IS it possible to test somehow with the liveCD with an app ? And: i see my discs but i cannot access them. Cant execute pmount. But i actually want or need to retrive some data from one of the discs wich is the real boot disc. Any suggestions ? :)
[10:24] <kyja> hou5ton, you may want to disable the lan card
[10:25] <hou5ton> kyja:  before, or after restarting?
[10:25] <AndyCooll> I'm doing this through ssh
[10:25] <jackrazz_> good idea, thanks
[10:25] <kyja> before if you can
[10:25] <javaJake> "...people have said that it's due to the modules being built with a different gcc than the kernel. Make sure they are in sync." How do I do this?
[10:25] <philipsmith> I do a "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" and then "sudo update-flashplugin" and Macromedia flash still does not work. What am I doing wrong?
[10:25] <thill2708> Does anyone know of a program I have have running in the background that will download nzb's from an rss feed into a specific folder?
[10:25] <hou5ton> kyja:  thanks a bunch ... restarting now
[10:25] <AndyCooll> And using "sudo cp ..." doesn't work either.
[10:26] <jackrazz_> dyn-afk: not there, check synaptic next
[10:26] <javaJake> philipsmith, what browser are you using?
[10:26] <philipsmith> javaJake:
[10:26] <AndyCooll> In the end I have to use xdmcp, logon to the server, use "gksudo nautilus" and copy files on to the drive that way
[10:26] <javaJake> :P
[10:26] <philipsmith> JavaJake: Firefox.
[10:26] <javaJake> How do I do this: "...people have said that it's due to the modules being built with a different gcc than the kernel. Make sure they are in sync."
[10:27] <AndyCooll> Surely there must be an easier way?
[10:27] <javaJake> philipsmith, OK...
[10:27] <javaJake> philipsmith, what does this say: "ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/"?
[10:27] <SkramX> i accidently tried to install windows on top of ubuntu and grub still tries to boot up but gets an error... how can i totally remove ubuntu or 100% format my hdd? can i do so from the live cd?
[10:27] <javaJake> SkramX, you can do this from the Windows CD
[10:27] <dyn-afk> jackrazz_ according to someone else it's been replaced by baobab which is in Applications > Accessories
[10:27] <dyn-afk> but Baobab is different from Discs
[10:27] <SkramX> i actually dont have the real windows cd,.. it is a recovery disk from acer.. uses norton gost
[10:28] <javaJake> SkramX, oh DRAT
[10:28] <SkramX> yeah
[10:28] <dyn-afk> Baobab only tells about sizes, Discs has the ability to mount the partitions it finds
[10:28] <KDan> what's the ubuntu command to tell it to add one of the entries in /etc/init.d to the various runlevels again?
[10:28] <SkramX> i could try to find a random windows disk and not gotrhough the install priocess..
[10:28] <philipsmith> JavaJake: the following files are listed: flashplayer.xpt    libjavaplugin_oji.so  libunixprintplugin.so libflashplayer.so  libswfdecmozilla.so
[10:28] <LjL> SkramX: well, you can certainly do that from the live cd using gparted
[10:28] <SkramX> okay
[10:28] <THX-1138> !grub > SkramX
[10:28] <javaJake> philipsmith, Then, according to this, flash is installed. Let's see....
[10:28] <SkramX> well the problem is that grub is broken
[10:29] <javaJake> SkramX, I was just going to say taht
[10:29] <SkramX> hmm
[10:29] <javaJake> SkramX, boot off of the CD into Gnome. Punch Alt+F2, and type in gparted
[10:29] <javaJake> Just tell it to delete everything.
[10:29] <tabias> how do I compile a file?
[10:29] <SkramX> right
[10:29] <SkramX> but it wont delete grub.. will it?
[10:29] <javaJake> tabias, What "file" are you talking about?
[10:29] <SkramX> hmmm
[10:29] <javaJake> SkramX, Um... hmm... no
[10:29] <SkramX> so.. :\
[10:29] <javaJake> I see your position
[10:30] <javaJake> philipsmith, hold on a sec...
[10:30] <philipsmith> javaJake: Will do.
[10:30] <SkramX> the recovery disks use norton ghost.. it assumes the MBR/BR works
[10:30] <javaJake> philipsmith, when you say the plugin "doesn't work", what exactly appears?
[10:30] <jackrazz_> dyn-afk, I'll check baobob more carefully.  I didn't see it initially, i'm checking it much more carefully now.  Thanks
[10:30] <THX-1138> SkramX - peek at the link for !grub i sent you.
[10:31] <SkramX> why
[10:31] <javaJake> SkramX, Grub should be able to detect Windows, and make a Windows entry
[10:31] <SkramX> !grub > SkramX
[10:31] <Max_-> I can't access my computer from WinSCP... connection refused.. what should I do???
[10:31] <SkramX> ill try to install windows from an official disk
[10:31] <javaJake> SkramX, Here's what to punch in, assuming Windows XP (sending through private msg)
[10:31] <SkramX> then stop, and install from ghost
[10:31] <SkramX> ok..
[10:31] <javaJake> SkramX, um... try this first...
[10:32] <dyn-afk> Max_- did you install the ssh server on your ubuntu machine ?
[10:32] <THX-1138> Skram - Unless ubuntu was comepletly overwritten there still is /boot/grub/   grub-install will reninstall grub
[10:32] <Max_-> good question
[10:32] <kata> Thank you, pike__ and javaJake seems to work better now. But there's some other problem: "E: Unsatisfied dependencies. Try "apt-get -f install" ". And when I try that I get: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)".
[10:32] <Max_-> what's the package for it?
[10:32] <muaddib> ubuntu-fr
[10:32] <muaddib> lol
[10:32] <javaJake> kata, do what it says
[10:32] <kata> Do what what says?
[10:32] <SkramX>  i cant even edit grub
[10:32] <muaddib> Id write /j #    then xchat change window
[10:32] <SkramX> "error 17?
[10:32] <philipsmith> javaJake: Usually there is an icon that says to get Macromedia flash. For example, on the New York Times web site there is always a video thing that requires macromeda flash. I can't even see the video window.
[10:33] <thill2708> Does anyone know of a program I have have running in the background that will download nzb's from an rss feed into a specific folder?
[10:33] <Max_-> dyn-afk, you know the package with apt-get??
[10:33] <yukio> sorry, how can i view users list here? im using xchat
[10:33] <javaJake> philipsmith, AHA! Flash is installed but it might not be working... try this page and tell me what you see:
[10:33] <javaJake> http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[10:33] <THX-1138> kata - Unless it happens on all of your packages. - you have a bad package - get stuck and can't find a *.deb install alien and use an rpm. works fairly well.
[10:34] <javaJake> (Does the bottom "Flash" one work?)
[10:34] <tabias> javaJake: I'm trying to compile kmix-1.0 plugin for keytouch so I can use my volume wheel on the Kmix
[10:34] <Lam_> dvd://, vcd://, tv://; where are they pointing from?
[10:34] <jenda> What's teh command to reset eth0?
[10:34] <dyn-afk> !ssh
[10:34] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[10:34] <dyn-afk> !ssh-server
[10:34] <tabias> folder containing : KMix-1.0.c Makefile Plugin.h README
[10:35] <javaJake> tabias, is there a file called "INSTALL" in the package you are to compile? Usually that provides instructions.
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh-server - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:35] <muaddib> Somebody have problem to use nautilus as ftp client ?
[10:35] <dyn-afk> !openssh
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openssh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:35] <THX-1138> SkramX - Yech - are you more comfortable with a knoppix live cd? - grab it up. the same grub-install command works there.
[10:35] <Lam_> jenda: try:  $sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:35] <philipsmith> javaJake: I get a box with a green puzzle piece that says, "Click here to download plugin."
[10:35] <tabias> javaJake: the readme is telling to simply run 'make' and I really don't have a clue what it is talking about
[10:35] <dyn-afk> Max_- you need openssh-server
[10:36] <javaJake> philipsmith, OK, then you don't have flash at all.
[10:36] <javaJake> philipsmith, just to comfirm, what does this say? about:plugins
[10:36] <kata> THX-1138: It happens whatever I try to install.
[10:36] <muaddib> jendo > you can reset eth0 with this command to : $ sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[10:36] <dyn-afk> Max_- type: !ssh and follow the link ubotu will give you :)
[10:37] <javaJake> philipsmith, WOW... totally wierd... I just ran Flash in Firefox (been using Opera) and Flash won't work there either...
[10:37] <dyn-afk> it tells you how to set up ssh onyour machine
[10:37] <jenda> Lam_, muaddib thx
[10:37] <skypa> is there a way to change workspaces with the mousewheel?
[10:37] <skypa> some window manager offer that functionality
[10:37] <Sofistio> hi
[10:37] <javaJake> tabias, ok, do you know how to use a terminal?
[10:37] <THX-1138> kata - (begins to look nervous with a bead of cold sweat running down forehead) I think a real linux user can help. (I am a recent refugee from /////////aol0
[10:37] <javaJake> tabias, sorry about the slow response times
[10:38] <philipsmith> javaJake: When I do "about:plugins" I don't see anything about Macromedia flash. However, I see many other things, including "Windows media video"
[10:38] <THX-1138> kata - I don't know how to fix that.
[10:38] <KDan> shot in the dark here, but anyone here ever used "XPay" (the payment gateway from SecureTrading) and would you happen to have a half-decent php api for it?
[10:38] <tabias> javaJake:  yes I've used terminal before for a number of things. np about response time, you aren't god I think ;)
[10:38] <kata> THX-1138: Ok - thanks anyway
[10:38] <dm_> Hello. How can I define for a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ on which interface it should be executed? Is the interface name givewn as an $1 argument?
[10:39] <javaJake> tabias, OK, go into the folder that contains the INSTALL file and do exactly what it says - run "make". Are you sure it didn't say anything about "./configure"?
[10:39] <THX-1138> <(velcros keyboard crossing cat to top of monitor) my spelling is bad enough don't need any help.
[10:40] <boink> and read INSTALL, that helps sometimes
[10:40] <kata> So, does anyone know what to do about this "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" which I get when I "apt-get -f install"
[10:40] <kata> ?
[10:41] <philipsmith> javaJake: So sorry. When I scrolled down the page "about:plugins" I see stuff about Shockwave flash
[10:41] <tabias> javaJake: no, the map only contains 4 files (README, KMix-1.0.c , Makefile , Plugin.h) so no INSTALL even, I tried to run make (typing make) but it says there is nothing to be done
[10:41] <javaJake> philipsmith, OK, goto postopia.com, does that work?
[10:42] <muaddib> Somebody have problem to use nautilus as ftp client ? My nautilus open firefox when I use ftp
[10:42] <javaJake> philipsmith, OK, try that webpage I mentioned.
[10:42] <muaddib> How to configure it to open ftp itself ?
[10:42] <javaJake> tabias, goto the beginning directory of the kmix package you downloaded, and try that...
[10:43] <yukio> Sorry, why i select screen refresh @100hz and mi monitor keeps telling me its working @85hz?
[10:43] <javaJake> philipsmith, according to firefox, flash is installed, so you have flash... just a matter of whether or not it is flash itself, or Ubuntu.
[10:43] <javaJake> ....or a website
[10:44] <philipsmith> javaJake: when I go to http://www.postopia.com Firefox quits.
[10:44] <javaJake> Oh, really/
[10:44] <javaJake> Hmmm... I know I read about this somewhere...
[10:44] <philipsmith> JavaJake: Yes. Firefox quits.
[10:44] <javaJake> Run firefox in a terminal, and see what it says when it crashes.
[10:44] <bruenig> why would you want to go to postopia
[10:45] <ProN00b> does anyone have any idea why graveman can burn dvd's for me but gnomebaker always fails (random errors on disk) ?
[10:46] <philipsmith> javaJake: When I do a "firefox" in a terminal window, firefox starts. Then when I go to postopia.com , firefox quits
[10:46] <javaJake> philipsmith, anything in the terminal?
[10:47] <keith> where do i send bug reports ?
[10:47] <philipsmith> javaJake: I don't know what you mean by "anything in the terminal."
[10:47] <JosefK> keith: http://launchpad.net/

[10:47] <errpast-wc> off topic - I am getting stale content on a wiki page after I edit.  Other than ctl-f5 every time I edit and save, is there a good way to force firefox to go to origin
[10:48] <effie_jayx> Hey Lads... I havea wustion. Is is true Ship it won't be free anymore? or is it people from other distros just saying that to scare off people from ubuntu
[10:48] <javaJake> philipsmith, is there any output in the terminal? Did firefox print anything out?
[10:48] <JosefK> yukio: that's probably for safety, if you want to force 100hz add Option "noddc" to your xorg.conf
[10:48] <JosefK> yukio: but that's probably dangerous..
[10:48] <fick> well

[10:48] <defi__3x> Hi all
[10:48] <javaJake> qailer, what kind of issues?
[10:49] <philipsmith> JavaJake: it says: "The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
[10:49] <philipsmith> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[10:49] <philipsmith> The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'.

[10:49] <philipsmith>   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
[10:49] <philipsmith>    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
[10:49] <philipsmith>    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
[10:49] <philipsmith>    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
[10:49] <philipsmith>    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[10:50] <effie_jayx> qailer, try killall esd
[10:50] <tonyyarusso> effie_jayx: ShipIt will continue to be free, but they are trimming it up a bit (ie you need to give a reason if you want a boatload of CDs).  The basic stuff is still free, and larger orders are still accepted for events, teachers, etc., there are just some limits coming into place to make sure that it CAN continue operating for free.
[10:50] <effie_jayx> qailer, and close all browsers
[10:50] <javaJake> philipsmith, try googling that, or search Ubuntu forums with this error. I cannot help you anymore
[10:50] <qailer> effie_jayx: yep, one restart comin up

[10:57] <ProN00b> thats wrong
[10:57] <Knifa> Does the x64 image work with intel cpus?
[10:57] <ProN00b> it doesn't have an intuitive interface
[10:57] <lupine_85> intel 64 bit CPUs. yes
[10:57] <Knifa> kay
[10:57] <Knifa> even though it says AMD64? :x
[10:57] <Knifa> since uh
[10:58] <Knifa> that's kinda confusing
[10:58] <lupine_85> in the same way that the 386 kernel works with non-IBM cpus
