[08:51] <skeeel> X is perfectly safe
[08:52] <Frogzoo> eckesicle: try it & see - but obviously X will hurt server performance
[08:52] <firebird619> jmdc: I tried a Live CD to see what the Internet was like, and it was the same, real slow, some things load, most timed out. It must be the ISP.
[08:52] <skeeel> eckesicle, bullshit IMHO
[08:52] <ztomic> CubeXombi: have you tried ldconfig yet?
[08:52] <MilitantPotato> CubeXombi: glad it worked for ya :)
[08:52] <tedr> Hello
[08:52] <tedr> Im a n00b
[08:52] <ztomic> hehe
[08:52] <ztomic> kewl
[08:52] <skeeel> tedr : no on is perfect :)
[08:53] <skeeel> one*
[08:53] <Alloosh> hi do I need to restart after setting env variable?
[08:53] <tedr> Ubuntu is great
[08:53] <Frogzoo> eckesicle: the other issue is that if X crashes, sadly it can take down your server
[08:53] <jmdc> firebird619: yeah, probably
[08:53] <CubeXombi> ztomic, yeah I'm all good now, I've just gotta get to tweaking this ..
[08:53] <ztomic> good job MilitantPotato
[08:53] <skeeel> any good gimp user here ? #gimp is sleeping
[08:53] <MilitantPotato> ?
[08:53] <eckesicle> Frogzoo, skeel, I have X running on my server and never experienced any problems
[08:53] <MilitantPotato> oh, thanks :D
[08:53] <tedr> Ubuntu devs have a great attitude :)
[08:53] <MilitantPotato> tedr: yep.
[08:54] <skeeel> eckesicle, i'm not against X on a server
[08:54] <SpeCon> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=python-msn&version=gutsy&arch=all
[08:54] <tedr> It's not our problem, but we'll fix it anyway!
[08:54] <SpeCon> i don't understand this
[08:54] <SpeCon> why doesn't linux just make an incon on the desk station
[08:54] <whatever__> so why do you think I can't burn CDs/DVDs?
[08:54] <SpeCon> i dunno how to use it now :(
[08:55] <SpeCon> when i installed xchat it did place an incon in my internet menu
[08:55] <whatever__> i have tried many software and tried on all speeds
[08:55] <SpeCon> much easier
[08:55] <skeeel> SpeCon, add some more if you need too
[08:55] <void^> eckesicle: on a "real" server system you generally try to run only absolutely necessary processes - for performance and security reasons.
[08:55] <tedr> I work at a small custom computer shop, and we are now selling comps with Ubuntu pre-installed :)))))))
[08:55] <tazz> i ran "sudo date<PHONE_NUMBER>07" to reset my date.
[08:55] <SpeCon> skeeel,  how
[08:55] <SpeCon> i just installed python-msn
[08:56] <SpeCon> and i wanna use it now
[08:56] <Frogzoo> eckesicle: tbh, if you have to ask the question, it's not going to be a big deal
[08:56] <jmdc> SpeCon the majority of packages out there are not "officially supported" which means they get less QA, which means sometimes icons get left out.
[08:56] <skeeel> specon are you using gnome ?
[08:56] <jmdc> Specon: what was it that you wanted to have an icon for?
[08:56] <ztomic> SpeCon: some programs don't put an icon in your menu. Windows is the same way.
[08:56] <SpeCon> skeeel, yes
[08:56] <Slart> SpeCon: you can always press alt+F2 and type xchat  it will autocomplete for you
[08:56] <SpeCon> ztomic,  okay but yeah i wanna use aMSN i have this installed but old version
[08:56] <jmdc> ztomic: don't do that windows is the same thing ... we're better than that!
[08:57] <void^> eckesicle: and Frogzoo is right :-)
[08:57] <skeeel> i don't know gnome much , sorry ask someone else
[08:57] <ztomic> jmdc: hehe
[08:57] <jmdc> ztomic :-)
[08:57] <eckesicle> very well
[08:57] <Xion> any one know much about hackthissite.org
[08:57] <jmdc> specon: you want to run amsn?
[08:57] <SatManUK> anybody recomend the best app for playing shoutcast stations?
[08:57] <SpeCon> jmdc, yes but new version
[08:58] <bullgard4> English help wanted. Is 'attaboy' an IRC term or is it just a slang word of the USA east coast?
[08:58] <josiahw> anybody here have an appletv?
[08:58] <ztomic> jmdc: I will say this... it can be a lot easier.
[08:58] <SatManUK> oh my im lagging on this server
[08:58] <jmdc> specon: what version do you have?
[08:58] <ace> hello guys, I would like to know which version I should prefer to my online server. edgy  dapper or feisty?
[08:58] <ztomic> but it cant get much easier than Ubuntu
[08:58] <[pablo]> i'm trying to get TV out working with my nvidia graphics card. I can get the video out to work to my TV, but am having some problems with resoltions. I have my meta mode set to 1600x1200,640x480 and the resolutions show up ok but on the TV it still thinks it's 1600x1200 so if I maximise a window it sizes it to 1600x1200 and I only see the upper left corner of it. Is there a way around that?
[08:58] <Slart> bullgard4: I don't think it's an IRC-term.. don't know about the usa east coast slang
[08:58] <SpeCon> jmdc the one off ubuntu
[08:58] <SpeCon> i give you the version wait
[08:58] <SatManUK> bullgard4: it means there is a good boy.. usually when refered to dogs - but what has it to do with ubuntu support?
[08:58] <skeeel> i don't know much about graphics . with gimp  when i try to modify an image color , i select by color , i choose my color and "color" but the color i choose change in the result  i'm trying to color with 734671 (html color code) but the result is 675087 , how can i avoid that ?
[08:59] <jmdc> ztomic: well I'm only saying that bugs are bugs no matter what, and just because they are windows' bugs too isn't a justification.
[08:59] <SpeCon> lastest new version seems so
[08:59] <ace> hello guys, I would like to know which version I should prefer to my online server. edgy  dapper or feisty?
[08:59] <SpeCon> bbl
[08:59] <jmdc> ztomic though I do understand why things like missing menu items exist , etc
[08:59] <skeeel> ace i will say LTS (lon time service)
[08:59] <tedr> ace: OpenBSD
[09:00] <skeeel> long*
[09:00] <bullgard4> SatManUK: I have met that term in connection with an Ubuntu problem in an IRC conversation.
[09:00] <skeeel> or openbsd indeed :)
[09:00] <jmdc> specon well, you can either wait for it to make it's way into the repository, or compile it from the source code
[09:01] <jmdc> specon what version of ubuntu  do you have?
[09:01] <ztomic> jmdc: on the other hand, how many times have you seen a menu iktem installed in Windows that only had a help file or some other useless info.
[09:01] <bryan553> hello, can someone please recommend me on good software for setting up an linux environment(like ubuntu) on windows system ?
[09:01] <jmdc> ztomic: oh yeah, the start menu sucks. I totally agree.
[09:02] <punzada> are there any reasons why I shouldn't be able to connect to my gutsy pc from a fawn laptop through xdmcp?
[09:02] <punzada> !xdmcp
[09:02] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[09:02] <CubeXombi> ok, So I'm back up, any hints now on how to possibly get this going a bit faster?
[09:02] <rodelli> hi
[09:02] <jmdc> bryan553: do you want to have a dual boot, or just have some unixy things in windows?
[09:03] <ztomic> CubeXombi: whats you fps now?
[09:03] <toresn> hi, i would like to run an external lcd monitor and disable the one on the laptop... where can i find documentation on this?
[09:03] <rodelli> good morning to all (in Brazil, at least is morning)
[09:03] <toresn> (<- newbie)
[09:03] <CubeXombi> still no where near edgy but I'm pulling about 300-350 ...
[09:04] <SatManUK> its afternoon - here in Georgia - but morning accross most of Europe :)
[09:04] <toresn> guess i would have to edit xorg.conf, but...
[09:04] <relapse> for some reason, today when i went to turn off my laptop, the shutdown and restart icons are missing, all i get are "switch user, log off, suspend, and hibernate"
[09:05] <kraut> moin
[09:05] <jmdc> toresn: for a start, go to system-administration-screens and graphics
[09:06] <kaushal_> hi
[09:06] <ztomic> CubeXombi: I get 1000 fps with a radeon 7200 on a dell Dimension 8100 1.5 GHz machine.
[09:06] <cyborg>  how can i record a Windows Media Video V7, 259kbps; hang: Windows Media Audio V8, stereo video strem?
[09:06] <jmdc> bryan553: you still need help?
[09:07] <ztomic> CubeXombi: and 1700 fps on this machine
[09:07] <CubeXombi> ztomic i should be getting closer to that range, though its not too important, wouldn't mind playing tremulous again hough
[09:08] <jmdc> say, how do you get the fps information anyway?
[09:08] <test___> hi I do connect analog video player and computer Tv-CARD connect I idea recordin video out in pc which software on ubuntu thx
[09:08] <void^> jmdc: glxgears, but the numbers don't mean anything.
[09:09] <MilitantPotato> CubeXombi: glxinfo | grep direct
[09:09] <toresn> jmdc: well, i have tried that... didn't quite work.... couldn't make it run at the desired resolution (1600x1200)
[09:09] <jmdc> void^: oh I thought there was some option I needed to pass in. I was killing it before it displayed the numbers
[09:09] <jane_> hello
[09:09] <MilitantPotato> !monitor
[09:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about monitor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:10] <hazman> Hey, has anyone tried sharing music with their xbox 360 though linux? I know it can be done with a bunch of apps in doze, but sid log into doze just for that
[09:10] <MilitantPotato> !xorg | toresn

[09:10] <Kalamansi> hello can someone teach me how to block (manually or in an instant) youtube or any video streaming?and also to limit bandwidth...could you guys please give me some tips and URL links for howtos?thanks
[09:10] <MilitantPotato> CubeXombi: spiffy, not sure why it's going slow, you're getting full 3d rendering
[09:10] <MilitantPotato> CubeXombi: you don't have XGL installed do you?
[09:10] <Frajda> does anyone know how to enable the buddyicons in Pidgin? (I have selected "Buddy details" but it doesn't help)
[09:11] <ztomic> CubeXombi: something else is wrong unless you're on a realloy slow machine.
[09:11] <CubeXombi> well it IS a laptop
[09:11] <ztomic> CubeXombi: can you turn off throttling in bios
[09:11] <Kalamansi> hello can someone teach me how to block (manually or in an instant) youtube or any video streaming?and also to limit bandwidth...could you guys please give me some tips and URL links for howtos?i have problem with my co-employees...which i cannot monitor them all (38 users xp workstations and my server is ubuntu 7.04)..i cannot monitor them one by one....thanks
[09:12] <CubeXombi> ztomic, doubtful.. crappy ol HP
[09:12] <ikonia> Kalamansi: help.ubuntu.com - search for iptables and / or quos
[09:12] <Slart> Kalamansi: there are also special distros just to be used as gateways and such.. ipcop is one.. there are others
[09:13] <tafsen> When I try to install a theme from System > Preference > Appearance  it only tells me that I entered the wrong password.
[09:13] <Alloosh> hi, what is the command to chmod 777  for   /usr/local/myfolder
[09:13] <ztomic> CubeXombi: well "crappy" is the keyword.
[09:13] <CubeXombi> ztomic .. yup!
[09:13] <ikonia> Alloosh: you've just shown us the command
[09:13] <Kalamansi> ikonia: i dont have 7.10 version....i have only 7.04....
[09:13] <ikonia> Kalamansi: that doesn't matter
[09:14] <hazman> Hey, has anyone tried sharing music with their xbox 360 though linux? I know it can be done with a bunch of apps in doze, but sid log into doze just for that
[09:14] <ikonia> hazman: any upnp service will work
[09:14] <Kalamansi> Slart: question is, is it free?ubuntu is free thats why i choice ubuntu
[09:14] <ikonia> hazman: and try to use proper names for things so people know what your talking about - its called "windows" not "doze"
[09:15] <ztomic> CubeXombi: dedicated HD? no dual boot? swap good size? RAM large?
[09:15] <Slart> Kalamansi: yes.. I think it's based on debian..
[09:15] <jmdc> Slart: yeah, that's right
[09:15] <Kalamansi> so i will uninstall ubuntu?
[09:15] <CubeXombi> <ztomic yup nope decent enough, 768M
[09:15] <ikonia> Kalamansi: install over the top
[09:15] <Alloosh> ikonia: tried it but didnt work I think, lets make the question how do I change the owner to myself, because the owner now is root and I want the owner to be alloosh
[09:16] <ikonia> Alloosh: man chown
[09:16] <ikonia> Alloosh: don't forget sudo
[09:16] <ztomic> CubeXombi: about 1GHz proc speed? maybe slower.
[09:16] <CubeXombi> <ztomic 1.6
[09:16] <Alloosh> ikonia: I have been doing that, would you be so kind and give me the command for once:)
[09:16] <Slart> Kalamansi: if you want to run ipcop you'll have to uninstall ubuntu.. or run ipcop from a usb drive.. it's very small.. but take a look for yourself.. I don't remember the url but googling for ipcop should get you there
[09:17] <ztomic> CubeXombi: you should get betta.
[09:17] <ikonia> Alloosh what have you been doing, show me the command
[09:17] <Chrisnotbad> Hello
[09:17] <CubeXombi> <ztomic yeah... well.. lets see how this next rebot goes then
[09:17] <Alloosh> ikonia: using man, it gets me confused, the other day I spent 2 hours on that, so I only want the command :)
[09:17] <ztomic> nasty
[09:18] <ikonia> Alloosh show me the chown command you have been using
[09:18] <Chrisnotbad> This is my first time in here
[09:18] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: welcome
[09:18] <Bollinger> I have a server which has started to reboot itself. last message in /var/log/messages are Nov 19 08:55:44 my-server -- MARK -- Nov 19 09:07:39 my-server syslogd 1.4.1#18ubuntu6: restart.
[09:18] <Chrisnotbad> Thanks
[09:18] <Alloosh> chown -alloosh
[09:18]  * v1k1ng1001 is frustrated
[09:18] <ikonia> choudesh: no -
[09:18] <ikonia> oops
[09:18] <ikonia> Alloosh: no "-" needed
[09:19] <rodelli> 'aaww 2,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
[09:19] <ikonia> rodelli: please don't do that
[09:19] <rodelli>  sry
[09:19] <Slart> Bollinger: anything else before that in the log?
[09:19] <cofeineSunshine> or you having sex with the keyboard?:D
[09:19] <Chrisnotbad> I can't seem to find an easy way to install the latest flash for firefox. I download the flash installer to mydesktop but can't seem to run it in terminal. I am a complete noob
[09:19] <tafsen> When I try to install a theme from System > Preference > Appearance  it only tells me that I entered the wrong password.  Why is that? I haven't entered any password
[09:19] <hazman> ikonia: the method doesn't work as simply as simply sharing files say under samba, but uses a method called window media sharing or something similar, would a upnp service still allow for this?
[09:19] <Slart> Bollinger: it restarts at some interval? once a day? once a week?
[09:19] <ikonia> hazman: no, it doesn't work like that
[09:19] <Bollinger> Slart, lots and lots of -MARK-      interval seem random
[09:20] <ikonia> upnp is what windows communicates with the xbox over
[09:20] <Slart> Bollinger: hmm.. nothing in kernel logs?
[09:20] <ztomic> tafsen: enter your password
[09:20] <tafsen> ztomic: It don't ask for a password
[09:20] <Bollinger> Slart, I can't look atm. My brother has turned the box off
[09:21] <void^> Bollinger: -mark- is just used to indicate it is still running when nothing else is happening.
[09:21] <marek`> hey
[09:21] <ztomic> tafsen: can't help you.
[09:21] <marek`> on boot i'm getting erorrs like
[09:21] <Bollinger> void^, Ah thanks, I was wondering what it meams
[09:21] <Alloosh> ikonia: thanks alot, figured it out
[09:21] <void^> Chrisnotbad: and did you try simply installing flashplugin-nonfree?
[09:21] <Alloosh> ikonia: it goes like chown owner file_or_bath_to_file_ir_dir
[09:22] <hazman> ikonia: yeah, i thought so
[09:22] <ikonia> Alloosh I know how to use chown
[09:22] <ikonia> Alloosh: I told YOU have to use chown
[09:22] <tafsen> ztomic: Thanks anyway
[09:22] <Slart> Bollinger: ok.. check that when you're able to...  I don't know of any valid reasons for a ububtu box to restart on it's own.. I'm not sure about updates but doing a restart without some kind of user intervention seems like a really bad idea
[09:23] <ikonia> Slart: it doesn't do it without any user interaction
[09:23] <Alloosh> ikonia: I know and I said thanks, and told you I figured it out:) actually iam happy because you didnt give me the command directly as I asked:)
[09:23] <Slart> ikonia: thanks
[09:23] <void^> sudden reboots are usually hardware issues
[09:24] <ikonia> Alloosh: whatever........
[09:25] <Chrisnotbad> is there an easy way to install flash for firefox in ubuntu?
[09:25] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package
[09:26] <Chrisnotbad> I download the lastest flash to my desktop for linux
[09:26] <ztomic> void^ leave hardware to hardware folk.
[09:26] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: thats not what I said to do
[09:26] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package
[09:26] <Chrisnotbad> So I have to pay to have the latest flash for unbuntu
[09:26] <v1k1ng1001> i think these graphical issues are a dealbreaker
[09:26] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: NO
[09:26] <v1k1ng1001> :(
[09:26] <jehysson> hola alquien habla español
[09:26] <jehysson> ??
[09:26] <v1k1ng1001> 7.10 is no good
[09:26] <Slart> !es | jehysson
[09:26] <ubotu> jehysson: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[09:26] <elkbuntu> Chrisnotbad, no, when we say 'non-free' it means 'non-liberated' :)
[09:26] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package out of the ubuntu repo's using the ubuntu package manager
[09:27] <Cheo> Ive heard that it sucks, why?
[09:27] <Xdange1>  v1k1ng1001: why?
[09:27] <ikonia> Cheo: what sucks ?
[09:27] <Cheo> 7.10
[09:27] <friedrich> Hi
[09:27] <ikonia> Cheo: not really, but everyone has opinions
[09:27] <Chrisnotbad> is the package manager a program?
[09:27] <Cheo> true
[09:27] <Cheo> how do I get to wine help?
[09:27] <friedrich> What's the usal way of kernel recompilation? I've found a bug and patch for it
[09:27] <Cheo> Im sorry im new
[09:27] <ikonia> Cheo: join #winehq
[09:27] <friedrich> I mean usual ubuntu way
[09:28] <ztomic> Cheo: /join #wine
[09:28] <Cheo> do I just type it here
[09:28] <v1k1ng1001> xdangel:  I've gotten ati and broadcom working for the first time, but I can't seem to get a handle on a few graphical issues
[09:28] <Cheo> Thx
[09:28] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: yes, I suggest you read the docs on http://www.ubuntu.com to get a basic overview of how ubuntu works
[09:28] <Slart> Chrisnotbad: yes.. it's called synaptic.. or apt-* (apt-get, apt-cache etc)
[09:28] <MilitantPotato> friedrich: i was told never to do a kernel recompile unless I knew exactly what I was doing
[09:28] <v1k1ng1001> xdangel:  also, i can't figure out why ubuntu takes 3 mins to boot  :(
[09:29] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: thats fair advice
[09:29] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: turn the splash screen off and look at wait lags in the boot process
[09:29] <Chrisnotbad> Well I appreciate the help, atleast I have some clue now.
[09:29] <lars_> i did something dumb and i need some (simple) help
[09:29] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, there is no splash screen!
[09:29] <Slart> v1k1ng1001: that's an awful long wait.. perhaps something is timing out.. ipv6 dns lookup? dhcp? sometihng else
[09:29] <ztomic> lars_: ask
[09:30] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: so what part of the boot process is hanging ?
[09:30] <ikonia> lars_: ask the question then
[09:30] <lars_> did a new install and copied over my home directory, only i did it as root and now things are obviously fucked
[09:30] <friedrich> MilitantPotato, I know exactly what I am doing - system is hanging every hour or two. And I did it often in good old times.
[09:30] <ikonia> lars_: that language is totally uncalled for
[09:30] <ikonia> lars_: if you want help, be polite and show some manners to people
[09:30] <lars_> if that wasn't an auto responce, im sorry
[09:31] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, grub loads, but then screen goes black for three minutes before i can log in -- i'm guessing to a default login screen?
[09:31] <ikonia> lars_: that wasn't an auto response
[09:31] <friedrich> I just need to make a one-string patch. What's the usual way of recompilation in ubuntu, I worked in RHEL before...
[09:31] <lars_> i guessed by the second
[09:31] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: hmmmm you don't see anything like the boot process, just a total black screen
[09:31] <erUSUL> !kernel
[09:31] <ubotu> The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[09:31] <lars_> would chmodding everyhting in my home directory to 644 work?
[09:31] <ikonia> friedrich: same technique, different package manager
[09:31] <ikonia> lars_: chmod and chown
[09:32] <Kalamansi> ok thanks ill try that
[09:32] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, yeah, totally black
[09:32] <MilitantPotato> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[09:32] <friedrich> ikonia, I see. I've fond config... So make bzImage. God bless me :)
[09:32] <MilitantPotato> too slow.
[09:32] <lars_> i think i did somehting wiht chown, i'll try chmod
[09:32] <Kalamansi> but first i will try ikonia's idea
[09:32] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, there are lots of forum posts about this, happens whether I install i86 or 64
[09:32] <friedrich> MilitantPotato, thanks
[09:32] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: its one of two things 1.) your vga frame buffer options are out of sync 2.) your splash screen is borked. v1k1ng1001 try setting the vga option to "ask" in the boot process
[09:33] <ikonia> friedrich: you'll need to package it up with the dpkg package manager or it will break your package manager
[09:33] <Slart> oh.. my splash screen doesn't work either.. didn't work properly on 7.04 nor 7.10
[09:33] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia;  how do i do #1   ???    :D
[09:33] <ikonia> vigneswari: set "vga=ask" as a boot parameter
[09:34] <Chrisnotbad> Has anyone heard of Linux for Play staytion 3?
[09:34] <friedrich> ikonia, not very important, I will not change it for a time
[09:34] <ikonia> friedrich: yes, but the package manager will !
[09:35] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, i guess it would be #1 because both gutsy and mint 4.0 aren't looking right
[09:35] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: yes
[09:35] <v1k1ng1001> but i have no idea how to fix it
[09:35] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: no, thats a terrible guess
[09:35] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: why have you not done what I suggested instead of still complaining about it
[09:35] <Chrisnotbad> I would run linux on it instead of my mac since my PS3 has a 3.2ghz processor, but their is no video acceleration yet
[09:35] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, because I don't know how?
[09:36] <Chrisnotbad> I hope they will fix that soon
[09:36] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: linux on the PS3 is not worth the effort, it will not be fixed due to hypervisor abstraction layers
[09:36] <MilitantPotato> v1k1ng1001: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:36] <void^> ztomic: and given the sparse information hardware folks would suggest it usually is a software issue, i guess? ;)
[09:36] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: then ask - don't sit their complaining that it doesn't work
[09:36] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: add vga=ask to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:36] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, i did ask, look up!
[09:36] <Chrisnotbad> Is that part of the video acceleration?
[09:37] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: no,
[09:37] <chazco> Hi... is there a way to run a shell script when a USB mass storage device is connected? I want to determine if a certain device is plugged in and if so copy a file from it (automatically)
[09:38] <Chrisnotbad> What is the short of it? Hyper visor abstraction layers?
[09:38] <ikonia> chazco: possibly through udev and/or hal
[09:38] <ShuMocker> ey guys, can I install the grub bootloader even though I don't have linux installed?
[09:38] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: the way ps3 allows hardware access
[09:38] <MilitantPotato> v1k1ng1001: at the end of the line that has...
[09:38] <ikonia> ShuMocker: you can, but there would be little point
[09:38] <MilitantPotato> kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=
[09:38] <Slart> chazco: I would take a look at udev.. see if there is anything there that might support some scripting
[09:38] <jmdc> ShuMocker yes
[09:38] <MilitantPotato> i believe that's where you add vga=ask
[09:38] <MilitantPotato> at the very end of that line
[09:38] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: correct
[09:38] <chazco> ok, thanks :)
[09:39] <ShuMocker> oh great, thanks, thats all I needed to know :D
[09:39] <Chrisnotbad> I know this will sound stupid, but I still want to run Mac Osx on my 16mhz Mac SE/30 with linux
[09:39] <Chrisnotbad> Just to do it
[09:39] <v1k1ng1001> MilitantPotato, ok, i'll look for it hold on a minute
[09:40] <kise> anyone have any idea about why i get this a52: CRC check failed!
[09:40] <kise> a52: error at resampling
[09:40] <kise>  when i try to play dvd file
[09:40] <ikonia> kise: fake dvd ?
[09:40] <MilitantPotato> v1k1ng1001: if in doubt, put it on pastebin
[09:40] <MilitantPotato> v1k1ng1001: and one of us will add it for you.
[09:40] <v1k1ng1001> ok
[09:40] <ikonia> kise: crc is basiclly checksumming of the disk
[09:41] <v1k1ng1001> there are two lines
[09:41] <v1k1ng1001> i'll post
[09:41] <Chrisnotbad> I think it would be possible to run osx on a 68k machine through emulation. Bootups might take a few days, but like I said it's just to do it.
[09:41] <MilitantPotato> ikonia: does it need to be in the failsafe line aswell?
[09:41] <ikonia> Chrisnotbad: this a support channel, not a chat channel
[09:41] <kise> ikonia,  ok, but i do have the orginal disk,
[09:41] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: not really no

[09:41] <Chrisnotbad> Sorry didn
[09:41] <Chrisnotbad> t know
[09:41] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: what version are you using ?

[09:41] <MilitantPotato> kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hda7 ro quiet splash vga=ask

[09:41] <MilitantPotato> i believe thats correct v1k1
[09:42] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: hang on......
[09:42] <v1k1ng1001> i'm using 7.10, i86
[09:42] <kise> ikonia,  and even if i had a copy, i should be able to play? i do hear the sound when using vlc
[09:42] <ikonia> kise: I've just explained the problem
[09:42] <jmdc> has anyone had success trying out the kde4 betas?
[09:42] <ikonia> jmdc: a few people in #kubuntu have
[09:42] <ikonia> jmdc: from what I've read
[09:42] <jmdc> I'll go ask them
[09:43] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, the hang happens whether or not I install i86 or 64 bit
[09:43] <MilitantPotato> kise: CRC means either a bad disc or your program isn't decrypting the Video DVD
[09:43] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, currently installed i86
[09:43] <MilitantPotato> CRC is cyclic redundency check
[09:43] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: what verison of ubuntu though
[09:43] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: excellent memory
[09:44] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, 7.10 gutsy
[09:44] <Rainpoint> Hello, I've downloaded Wine. I want to run a few games on Ubuntu. How do I do this?
[09:44] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: that boot line doesn't look like gusty
[09:44] <MilitantPotato> ikonia: I remember a select few things :)
[09:44] <ikonia> gutsy even
[09:44] <brobostigon> hi
[09:44] <brobostigon> read the help on wine on help.ubuntu.com
[09:44] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: was it a clean install or an upgrade or anything like that
[09:44] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: is there anything unusual about that install that you've not mentioned
[09:44] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, clean installs every time
[09:45] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: and its %100 ubuntu 7.10
[09:45] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, no, a lot of people on the forums with this problem, no clear solution
[09:45] <kise> how can i fix that, never had any trouble with this on 7.04
[09:45] <MilitantPotato> ikonia: would the HD's DMA be working during boot?
[09:45] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: that doesn't look like a gutsy boot line as gutsy should be referencing the disk via UUID not /dev/hda7
[09:46] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: I don't think its anything like that
[09:46] <gordonjcp> Rainpoint: read the winehq website - there's a knowledgebase for what works and what doesn't
[09:46] <MilitantPotato> ikonia: is that UUID a MD5?
[09:46] <sylverfox> hi there!
[09:46] <jehysson> hola alguien habla español
[09:46] <Frogzoo> !appdb | Rainpoint:
[09:46] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: the install looks a tad unusual due to the lack of UUID
[09:46] <ubotu> Rainpoint:: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[09:46] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: no, its a method of accessing the hard disk
[09:46] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia:  i'm triple booting at the moment, but like I said, i've installed gutsy several times and this still happens
[09:47] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: tripple booting ? with what
[09:47] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia: grub
[09:47] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: no, what other OS's
[09:47] <sylverfox> when i want to install the nvidia driver, after installing nvidia-glx i Can't install nvidia-settings, without removeing nvidia-glx, COULD anybody tell me if this is normal???
[09:47] <jehysson> HOLA ALQUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL
[09:47] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia:  xp, linux mint 4 (which does not hang)
[09:47] <ikonia> !es >jehysson
[09:47] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: I think thats a key factor in your issues, other distros overwrite grub with their own version of grub.
[09:48] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: can you show me your boot line again please.
[09:48] <darkclown> hey, could someone plz tell me the CLI command to list all the hardware?
[09:48] <ikonia> darkclown: lshw
[09:48] <darkclown> ikonia: thanks your a lifesaver :)
[09:48] <void^> sylverfox: nvidia-settings is part of nvidia-glx. and if you have some nvidia newer than geforce4 you might want to use nvidia-glx-new instead.
[09:48] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia:  but I installed gutsy last and it still hung even when i only had gutsy my linux partition

[09:49] <sylverfox> ok, thanks void^
[09:49] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: a little it looks like your grub options are a little confused, I'd guess from all the distro compatability inserts between ubuntu and mint

[09:50] <gandalfcome> after installing compiz fusion on a kubuntu . I lost the alt gr key (well its function) I cant do (at) on a german keyboard altgr+q or the euro symbol altgr+e. help appreciated
[09:50] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001: I'd blat your mint and gutsy partitioans %100 then just install gutsy and lets debug from there
[09:50] <brobostigon> but wine only works on x86, it doesnt work on powerpc or other architectures.
[09:51] <dallix> hello
[09:51] <ikonia> brobostigon: thats correct
[09:51] <darkclown> Varka: Thanks for the tip :)
[09:51] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, thanks...but it'll have to wait until tomorrow!  I'll take your advice and start from scratch after work.
[09:52] <brobostigon> thats makes me very annoyed, as i use powerpc, and i have to emulate windows using qemu, if i want to run a windows prog.
[09:52] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, what do you think of installing the 64 bit edition as opposed to the i86?
[09:52] <Varka> darkclown: especially hwinfo --short is easier to read if you don't need indepth informations
[09:52] <ikonia> v1k1ng1001 why do you want 64bit ?

[09:53] <Varka> wow Amaranth, that was fast ;)
[09:53] <v1k1ng1001> ikonia, the only problem i had a few weeks ago was the broadcom card

[09:56] <Rainpoin1> Hello, I'm trying to run Civ 4 on my laptop. I have Wine installed. Do I have to copy over the game folder to the .wine/c. folder/program files in order to make it work then use wine to run the game?
[09:56] <MilitantPotato> ikonia: did his deal get fixed?
[09:56] <fany> qwwerty
[09:57] <rodelli> hi, i have a problem with pulseaudio, there is anyone who can help me?
[09:57] <fany><PHONE_NUMBER>111
[09:57] <Rainpoint> Sorry, I keep disconnecting
[09:57] <ikonia> MilitantPotato: nah, it looked like mint/ubuntu where installed different boot stuff into grub
[09:58] <Rainpoint> Can anyone answer my question please?
[09:58] <ikonia> Rainpoint: I didn't see you ask one
[09:58] <BenWartig> hi, I have a little problem, I m trying to get our server fixed (Sun X4100 M2) there is a bug with the raid drivers #37452 but now i´m stuck. Could someone help me out?
[09:58] <Jangari> is there a bash command to search the universe repos?
[09:58] <Flannel> Jangari: apt-cache search [stuff]
[09:58] <ikonia> BenWartig: post a link to the bug ?
[09:58] <Jangari> sweet, cheers
[09:58] <Flannel> Jangari: that wont search just universe though, if you care
[09:58] <ikonia> Jangari: enable the universe repo
[09:59] <Jangari> oh?
[09:59] <BenWartig> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/37452
[09:59] <ikonia> BenWartig: ubuntu 6.10 ?
[09:59] <Rainpoint> I'm trying to run Civ 4 on my laptop, which runs Gutsy Gibbon. I've already installed wine. Do I need to copy the game folder over into the wine folder?
[09:59] <Jangari> that won't search *just* the universe?
[09:59] <BenWartig> no lts 6.01
[09:59] <Flannel> Jangari: no, it'll search all of your repositories
[09:59] <ikonia> Rainpoint: wine support is #winehq
[09:59] <ikonia> BenWartig: my typo sorry
[09:59] <Rainpoint> Thanks.
[09:59] <mikebeecham> hey guys
[10:00] <Jangari> that's good, innit?
[10:00] <ikonia> BenWartig: the problem and solution are spelt out in the link,
[10:00] <Flannel> Jangari: Its certainly not bad
[10:00] <mikebeecham> I wonder if someone can help me.  I am a ubuntu beginner after installing it last night.  All of a sudden my titlebar has dissapeared on ALL windows, and there is no text when I open up my terminal manager...could anyone possibkly help me?
[10:01] <Jangari> but probably cumbersome and somewhat hard to eyeball?
[10:01] <Flannel> Jangari: Not really, no.  More than likely you'll need to pipe it to less anyway.
[10:01] <BenWartig> thats right, i tried to do the workaround and installed the kernel backport but i have no idea how to get the modules working
[10:01] <Jangari> i've noticed searching using add programs for 'virus' returns one result, the gui interface for clam, but searching in a terminal returns about a hundred
[10:01] <rodelli> I have pulseaudio configured and running including esd compat, but it creates a /tmp/.esd folder (and sockets) tied to my user and when i logon with another user.. the esdcompat can't read the socket created by the first user.... can anyone help me?
[10:02] <ikonia> BenWartig what have you done to get the modules working ?
[10:02] <lars_> ummm, i tried "sudo chmod -R 644 /home/lars" and now it's worse
[10:02] <Flannel> Jangari: Using synaptic? or add/remove?  Synaptic searches the same as what apt-cache will (everything).  Make sure you're seraching "names and descriptions" though, and not just names in synaptic
[10:02] <lars_> much worse
[10:02] <Jangari> yeah,that's about right
[10:03] <nucco> is pidgin hanging randomly for anyone here?
[10:03] <ikonia> lars_: have your changed the owner ship with chown as I told you

[10:03] <kane77> i'm having some problems with firefox.. every once in a while when I run firefox it doesn't run.. when I run it in terminal I get Segmentation fault (core dumped).. if I run it in safe mode it's ok... what can I do?
[10:03] <Jangari> yeah okay, they search the same repositories, eh?
[10:03] <lars_> i htought i did
[10:03] <ikonia> kane77: where did you get firegfox ?
[10:03] <ikonia> lars_: who is the owner
[10:03] <lars_> what's the command please? ikionia
[10:03] <ikonia> kane77: "where did you get firefox" that should read
[10:03] <ikonia> lars_: man chown
[10:04] <BenWartig> i used pbuilder to compile the modules (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.15/2.6.15-51.4) but i don´t know how to get it working with the kernel
[10:04] <Jangari> ikonia: surely a "-g" would have sufficed
[10:04] <rodelli> lars_: are u talking to me?
[10:04] <Jangari> is compiling a build from source complicated?
[10:04] <lars_> so if the owner is lars, the chown command would be?
[10:04] <ikonia> Jangari: yes
[10:04] <Jangari> really

[10:05] <nucco> ikonia: pidgin
[10:05] <Myrtti> or any lexmark multipurpose printer/scanner etc?
[10:05] <ikonia> BenWartig: are you trying to put the 2.6.16 modules into the 2.6.15 kernel , or do a 2.6.16 kernel build
[10:05] <hi365> hello. access to remote filesystems is always slow and delayed do to multipal security cheks. how can i speed things up?
[10:05] <nucco> ikonia: it starts, and then freezes, nothing shown in the UI except window decorations
[10:05] <mikebeecham> Has anyone else had the same situation where the titlebar of all windows within Gutsy Gibbon has dissapeared?
[10:05] <ikonia> Myrtti: I've had problems with lexmark and cannon so I make a point of not using it
[10:05] <friedrich> Damned
[10:06] <friedrich> it's hanging during recompilation
[10:06] <BenWartig> im trying to get the modules into the 2.6.15 kernel
[10:06] <ikonia> nucco: reboot, check the syslog see if there are any warninings
[10:06] <Myrtti> ikonia: thanks, was considering buying one but I guess I'll forget it
[10:06] <Jangari> and panels? mikebeecham?
[10:06] <rodelli> mikebeecham: do you have a nvidia card?
[10:06] <ikonia> BenWartig: I'm not sure how that would work, I'd use the 2.6.16 kernel
[10:06] <nucco> ikonia: eh... where's the syslog?
[10:06] <ikonia> nucco: /var/log/messages
[10:06] <Jangari> oh man, konversation fully kicks x-chat's arse
[10:08] <kane77> ikonia, the default one that is installed in ubuntu...
[10:08] <mikebeecham> Jangari : Sorry, what do you mean by panels?
[10:08] <kane77> ikonia, (to that firefox question)
[10:08] <nucco> ikonia: pidgin will put messages in the syslog?
[10:08] <Jangari> the things at the top and bottom of the screen
[10:08] <rodelli> I have pulseaudio configured and running including esd compat, but it creates a /tmp/.esd folder (and sockets) tied to my user and when i logon with another user.. the esdcompat can't read the files (and socket) created by the first user.... can anyone help me?
[10:08] <Jangari> with your workspace switcher
[10:08] <ikonia> nucco no, but ubuntu may complain about other things that you don't know
[10:08] <Jangari> etc.,
[10:08] <mikebeecham> rodelli : Yes I have an nVidia 7600GT, and i have enabled restricted drviers?
[10:09] <mikebeecham> Jangari: ...sorry, but i really am a new user :(
[10:09] <rubydiamond> which is the default font of ubuntu?
[10:09] <Jangari> the little bar that runs right across the top of the screen, with menus on the left, and a big 'turn off' button on the right
[10:09] <mikebeecham> rubydiamond : Sans I think
[10:10] <rubydiamond> It looks very similar to Deja Vu sans mono
[10:10] <Jangari> andsimilarly on the bottom, only with different buttons
[10:10] <BenWartig> at the moment the server runs with the workaround (raid works with 2.6.17 kernel) but wed like to run the 2.6.15 with raid drivers (is it possible to do this?)
[10:10] <mikebeecham> Jangari: : I have that ok...it's just my windows that are the issue.   the panels are fine, and they never change..but no titlebars on any window that would pop up or appear
[10:10] <Jangari> hmm,
[10:10] <Jangari> curious
[10:11] <rodelli> mikebeecham: Yes, use restricted drivers and make sure that (Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True") are in your device section of the xorg.conf
[10:11] <nucco> mikebeecham: are you using desktop-effects?
[10:11] <mikebeecham> Jangari: : yes..>I have been onto the forums, and googled the issue, which seems to be kind of common place, but I cant get an answer or resolution
[10:11] <mikebeecham> rodelli: :  not so easy, as I started using linux last night...it's all very strange lanuage I hear you speak :)
[10:12] <cofeineSunshine> ;)
[10:12] <mikebeecham> nucco:  Yes, I am using moderate (I think) effectas
[10:12] <cofeineSunshine> you'll get used to that
[10:12] <mikebeecham> cofeineSunshine: : Thanks mate
[10:12] <rodelli> mikebeecham:  hoh.... i see
[10:12] <nucco> mikebeecham: an intel video card? or ati? or nvidia?
[10:12] <mikebeecham> nucco: nVidia 7600GT
[10:12] <mikebeecham> and I have enabled restricted drivers
[10:13] <nucco> mikebeecham: i'm not using desktop effects, so i can't confirm if this is the correct command. run 'compiz-window-decorator' in a terminal
[10:13] <mikebeecham> nucco: see, I was getting onto that as well :(
[10:14] <rodelli> mikebeecham: you problem is related to a misconfigured drivers... and this problem appears when you try to use desktop effects... so lets disable desktop effects before correct the problem
[10:14] <mikebeecham> nucco: when I open up the terminal, all there is is a white window, I cannot see any text and none appear when I type
[10:14] <nucco> mikebeecham: so you should disable desktop effects, and perhaps rodelli can help you out
[10:14] <Jangari> run it from a console then?
[10:14] <mikebeecham> rodelli: : I will have to gain a lot of knowledge here now as I am at work, then try it when I get home
[10:14] <dkT> if a user is no longer a member of admin. How do I readd the user to that group?
[10:14] <ikonia> dkT: modify the user
[10:15] <mikebeecham> Jangari: : Will put that on my list to try out
[10:15] <mikebeecham> thank you
[10:15] <rodelli> mikebeecham: ok... what ubuntu version are u running?
[10:15] <mikebeecham> rodelli: : Gutsy Gibbon
[10:15] <kane77> where should the .conkyrc be? $home?
[10:15] <ikonia> kane77: yes
[10:15] <BenWartig> ikonia : at the moment the server runs with the workaround (raid works with 2.6.17 kernel) but wed like to run the 2.6.15 with raid drivers (is it possible to do this?)
[10:15] <dkT> ikonia: how? without being in the admin group?
[10:16] <kane77> ikonia, what about that crashing firefox? can you help me?
[10:16] <ikonia> BenWartig: not sure how mixing modules and kernel version will work in ubuntu
[10:16]  * snconnect says: hello everybody
[10:16] <ikonia> kane77: coredumps are fatal, you'll have to submit it
[10:16] <nucco> kane77: perhaps you installed a bad extension?
[10:16]  * kane77 says hello to snconnect
[10:16] <ikonia> kane77: log a bug with the core dump
[10:16] <ikonia> kane77: is your machine overclocked or anything
[10:17] <kane77> ikonia, how? it just crashes without any info?
[10:17] <ikonia> dkT: is there no use in the admin group
[10:17]  * snconnect kane77 can you help me (excuz my english is not clear)
[10:17] <kane77> ikonia, no It's not overclocked
[10:17] <ikonia> kane77: it does a core dump
[10:17] <ubuntu> hi
[10:17] <nucco> kane77: i think i've seen firefox crash when flashplayer was installed from adobe's website...
[10:17] <BenWartig> ikonia: ok thanks for your help so far
[10:18] <kane77> nucco, it might be the cause.. last time I got this it was the flashgot extension... but I don't have that installed now...
[10:18] <ikonia> BenWartig: maybe better to match modules to kernel version
[10:18]  * snconnect
[10:18] <snconnect> Can someone help me? I seek a gateway sms  to send messages from one form php.les messages pass through my gsm mobile
[10:18] <kane77> ikonia, and where does it dump it?
[10:18] <rodelli> mikebeecham: the "Visual Effects" options are in "Appearence" applet... you must disable the desktop effects; Simply click "System->Preferences->Appearence" from the main panel. In the applet choose "Visual Effects" tab and choose "None"
[10:18] <ikonia> snconnect: this is ubuntu support so you'll be better finding a better channel
[10:18] <kim> Hi. I need help with the update system. It say that my key is not valid.
[10:18] <ikonia> kane77: current working directory
 do i have to use chmod and chown in any particular order?
[10:18] <ikonia> lars_: no
[10:18] <snconnect> ikonia can you give me a good channel?
[10:19] <ikonia> snconnect: no
[10:19] <kane77> ikonia, sorry for my lack of knowledge but how does it look? :)
[10:19] <rodelli> mikebeecham: this will disable Visual Effects and make the title bars come back...
[10:19] <ikonia> kane77: its a file called "core"
[10:20] <snconnect> no one can't help me
[10:20] <kerzendorf> After installing compiz on kubuntu. I have trouble using altgr on my german keyboard.(eg altgr +q =(at)). thanks
[10:20] <ikonia> snconnect: this is ubuntu support -
[10:20] <ikonia> snconnect: you are not asking for ubuntu support
[10:20] <snconnect> ikonia i'm in gutsy gibbon
[10:20] <ikonia> snconnect: but your problem is nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:20] <nucco> kane77: if you run firefox from the terminal, and it dumps core, run 'pwd' then go open the reported directory in your file manager and look for a file called 'core'
[10:20] <dkT> ikonia: I dont know if any other user has the admin group. It'll have to be a system user of some kind, since there is only one "human" user on the machine.
[10:21] <snconnect> ok
[10:21] <kane77> ikonia, i see no file like that.. lemme try run it once again...
[10:21] <ikonia> dkT: boot into safe mode and re-add the user to admin group
[10:21] <dkT> k
[10:21] <dkT> thx
[10:21] <LinuxFakeRai1> hi there. can anyone help me to get my fakeraid partitioned? if i run "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/sil_agaidedcdeah" i get the answer /dev/mapper/sil_agaidedcdeah is apparently in use by the system; werde dort kein Dateisystem erstellen!
[10:21] <kim> The problem is that whenever i do an update it won't accept my key
[10:21] <kim> An error accured

[10:21] <kim> (Translated)
[10:21] <MilitantPotato> Does anyone use trickle or something similar (maybe better?)
[10:21] <ikonia> LinuxFakeRai1: fake raid is terrible under linux
[10:21] <kane77> nucco, ikonia, doh! now it runs ok...
[10:22] <ikonia> kim: your not using an ubuntu repo
[10:22] <kim> No. Ubuntu 7.10
[10:22] <nucco> kane77: (shameless plug) i kind of prefer epiphany-browser
[10:22] <LinuxFakeRai1> ikonia: i know.. but i want to stay with my windows paritions like they are
[10:22] <rodelli> mikebeecham: after you must "uninstall and purge" your nvidia restricted drivers to make bad configuration go away before you can install it again...but the guys here can help you
[10:22] <kim> Am i in the wrong channel?
[10:22] <ikonia> kim: is that an official ubuntu repo mediabuntu.org ?
[10:22] <kane77> nucco, I like links too :)
[10:22] <MilitantPotato> kim did you add the medibuntu repo for codets?
[10:22] <rodelli> mikebeecham: must go now... good luck
[10:23] <MilitantPotato> kim: it looks like you didn't do the add key bit.
[10:23] <kim> I have downloaded my ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com
[10:23] <kane77> nucco, but I'm a strange, strange person :)
[10:23] <ikonia> kim: why does your repo list contain mediabuntu.org
[10:23] <brobostigon> !medibuntu
[10:23] <Jangari> it isn't really safe to partition a hard drive with data on it, is it?
[10:23] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
I'm a newb. Don't know what you are talking about
[10:24] <ikonia> Jangari you'll most probably have corruption
[10:24] <BenWartig> ikonia: is there no way to tell the 2.6.15 kernel to load the 2 modules that i need?
[10:24] <Jangari> mhm
[10:24] <LinuxFakeRai1> how can i see if my fakeraid is mounted or not?? i thought its all unmounted on my live ubuntu, but i still cant resize my free space on the fake
[10:24] <ikonia> BenWartig: there is, just insmod them, however I doubt that will work due to version mixing
[10:24] <brobostigon> !modprobe
[10:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:25] <nucco> kane77: i can't imagine using a text-mode browser in this century... kind of the same with 'text-only' email
[10:25] <kane77> nucco, ikonia, http://pastebin.ca/783749
[10:26] <ikonia> kane77: its firefox's working directory (/usr/bin I think) not your home directory
[10:26] <BenWartig> ikonia: i´ll try it keep fingers crossed thanks a lot ;)
 yesterday i got help with it, but it did not help. The person say i could use medibuntu or what you call it.

[10:28] <amidaniel> b1n42y: You probably want to use sudo modprobe loop and then mount to mount the iso
[10:28] <kane77> nucco, I dunno...

[10:41] <nucco> wally_: does it tell you to go do 'safely remove...' in windows? you should if that's what it says
[10:41] <Crozar> progreSSive, switch your speakers to the mother board you will hear sound
[10:41] <roooss> hi can anybody help with converting a windows batch file to a shell script
[10:41] <roooss> ?
[10:41] <progreSSive> let me see
[10:41] <wally_> nucco, yes it told me to do that, but i can no longer open windows, it for some reason ceased working.
[10:42] <roooss> prograssive, how can i show you?
[10:42] <nucco> wally_: that means whatever it is that caused the failure might have corrupted the windows partition. i'm guessing it was a power cut
[10:42] <Crozar> progreSSive, go to sound options and fiddle around abit with the settings you might fix your PCI sound card or else you must check out how to appoint settings manually to the PCI card :/
[10:42] <Crozar> progreSSive, its a conflict but lets hope for future updates ;)
[10:42] <progreSSive> Crozar, oh sorry, i dont have an external sound card.. just the mother board card.. and in the system>preferences>sound, when i couse alsa, it says it failed to open the file to write
  http://pastebin.ca/783758
[10:43] <eckesicle> wally_, can you not boot into windows and to a file system check?
[10:43] <Crozar> progreSSive, search google
[10:43] <ikonia> Crozar: that is not a conflict
[10:43] <lars_> I used " chmod -R u+rwx /home/lars" and now everyhting seems to work
[10:43] <wally_> nucco, hmm is there anyway i can get the data off of the hardrives, there is two separate ones
[10:43] <lars_> should i give permissions to my group?
[10:43] <nucco> roooss: if you know bash scripting, and you know that windows script thing, then you manually create a new script whose effect is the same as yor batch script... i don't know how else to do that
[10:43] <wally_> eckesicle, when i try booting into windows, it hangs and restarts
[10:43] <ikonia> lars_: thats up to you
[10:43] <Crozar> good we have ikonia , yes and now i have 8 questions for him
[10:43] <inversekinetix> DISABLE ONBOARD SOUND IN YOUR BIOS
[10:43] <nucco> wally_: if you can't mount, then i doubt if you can recover
[10:43] <wally_> eckesicle, it also runs disk checks
[10:43] <ikonia> !should >inversekinetix
[10:43] <lars_> so not necessary then i guess
[10:43] <ikonia> !shout >inversekinetix
[10:43] <lars_> thanks for oyur help
[10:43] <eckesicle> wally_: ntfs or fat32?
[10:44] <LinuxFakeRai1> how can i partition my harddrive under ubuntu live cd?? i always get this message: /dev/mapper/sil_agaidedcdeah is apparently in use by the system; werde dort kein Dateisystem erstellen!
[10:44] <wally_> eckesicle ntfs
[10:44] <eckesicle> wally_, is your linux partition on the same physical drive?
[10:44] <BenWartig> ikonia: there is  another problem insmod is to bind in modules in running kernels but if i want to run the kernel it crashes and drops to a rescue-shell
[10:44] <brobostigon> !gparted
[10:44] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:44] <inversekinetix> !don't be so quick to jump on people |ikonia
[10:44] <ikonia> BenWartig I suspect its down to the incompatability
[10:44] <wally_> eckesicle, no i put it on a separate physical drive
[10:44] <ikonia> inversekinetix you shouted - so yes I will
[10:45] <Crozar> ikonia, i have atablet laptop , touch screen doesnt work ( i have downloaded wacom-tools + evtouch ) same ... should igo for evtouch tutorial or is theyr a better way?
[10:45] <nucco> LinuxFakeRai1: are you using gparted?
[10:45] <LinuxFakeRai1> i got gparted, but it doesnt work also
[10:45] <lars_> as much as i hated having to decode the man page (with no examples) on my own without a working browser, it I'm glad to have learned a bit about the chown command
[10:45] <LinuxFakeRai1> nucco: yes
[10:45] <ikonia> Crozar: no idea
[10:45] <eckesicle> wally_, did you run a SMART check?
[10:45] <Crozar> nevermind!
[10:45] <wally_> eckesicle, i am unfamiliar with SMART checks, how would i run one?
[10:45] <inversekinetix> ikonia: i had caps lock on and wasnt looking at the screen, calm down
[10:45] <fjfalcon> where is installed libcurl?
[10:45] <ikonia> inversekinetix: so no problem, ignore the message
[10:45] <ikonia> fjfalcon: /usr/lib normally
[10:45] <fjfalcon> tnx
[10:45] <nucco> LinuxFakeRai1: can't help there. sorry. never seen that before
[10:45] <Crozar> ikonia, how to log in as root ? was it sudo nautalis?
[10:46] <inversekinetix> ikonia: i couldnt you were too ready to jump
[10:46] <ikonia> Crozar: you don't log in as root
[10:46]  * inversekinetix ignores ikonia
[10:46] <ikonia> inversekinetix: just ignore it
[10:46] <tritty> myrtti: you still there?
[10:46] <LinuxFakeRai1> nucco: ok.. i will just search another hours in the internet :D
[10:46] <Crozar> ikonia, what is the output?
[10:46] <ikonia> Crozar: the output of what ?
[10:46] <Crozar> ikonia, i think you need more ram , cool down
[10:46] <ikonia> Crozar: what are you talking about
[10:46] <eckesicle> wally_, okay do this. sudo apt-get install smartmontools
[10:47] <Crozar> wat was that command ikonia  to go in as Nuatalis .. was it sudo nautalis
[10:47] <Myrtti> tritty: barely
[10:47] <jonathan> server irc.free.fr
[10:47] <ikonia> Crozar: gkusdo
[10:47] <mikebeecham> also...is there a specific IRC channel for working through Dual Monitor issues?
[10:47] <bquorning> I am using Ubuntu to host Plone CMS, which requires Python 2.4.4. I guess I cannot uninstall Python 2.5.1, since it is used by apt. Which is the easy way around this problem?
[10:47] <mikebeecham> or is that done here as well?
[10:47] <tritty> myrtii: I just checked the cd for defects and it came up with none
[10:47] <progreSSive> eckesicle: when i click on the volume control icon, i get the following exception: "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either you dont have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured."  Any suggestions? please
[10:48] <wally_> eckesicle ok i got that
[10:48] <BenWartig> ikonia: and adding the modules to the initrd could this work?
[10:48] <thedom> Anyone know why postfix would bounce email with "User unknown in virtual alias table" unless I set /etc/mailname to localhost (ie, not domain.com)?
[10:48] <ikonia> BenWartig: yes, but I suspect you'll have the same issues as your running kernel is different
[10:48] <Myrtti> tritty: so what kind of hardware do you run? have you checked the net if anyone has had trouble with, for instance, your display driver?
[10:48] <tritty> myrtti: and it came up with no defects
[10:48] <eckesicle> wally_, sudo smartctl -Hc [yourwindowsdiskhere]
[10:48] <eckesicle> maybe
[10:48] <eckesicle> sudo smartctl -Hc /dev/hda
[10:48] <wally_> eckesickle, is my windows disk the name like hda1 ?
[10:49] <tritty> myrtii: i havent had problems with my disp driver before
[10:49] <Crozar> ikonia, gksudo what?
[10:49] <eckesicle> wally_, yeah is that the name of it?
[10:49] <ikonia> Crozar: what ever command you want to luanch with a graphical interace
[10:49] <Myrtti> tritty: have you tried installing ubuntu before?
[10:49] <ikonia> interface
[10:49] <Tm_T> Myrtti: :)
[10:49] <Crozar> ikonia, i want to do stuff without having some permision problems
[10:49] <Myrtti> Tm_T: bored ;-)
[10:49] <eckesicle> you can find out the name with cat /etc/fstab | grep ntfs
[10:49] <BenWartig> ikonia: how can i add them to the initrd?
[10:49] <ikonia> Crozar: nothing you do should require root permissions
[10:50] <tritty> myrtii: no i havent I am a Ubuntu Virgin :S
[10:50] <wally_> eckesicle, i tried it and it outputted alot of data
[10:50] <Crozar> example ikonia changing a custom image from my theme manually doesnt allow me .
[10:50] <wally_> eckesicle oh it says it passed
[10:50] <ikonia> BenWartig: you have to repackage your initrd file, this is normally done at kernel build time, however the kernel build guide should walk you though that
[10:50] <eckesicle> wally_, okay so then the drive is not physically damaged
[10:50] <Myrtti> tritty: so you not having trouble with your display driver (in Windows) doesn't mean that you couldn't have problems with it while installing ubuntu
  http://pastebin.ca/783758
[10:50] <ikonia> Crozar: custom image for where ? splash, desktop, what
[10:50] <Crozar> ikonia, desktop
[10:50] <eckesicle> wally_, that is good. So there's an error in the partition
[10:50] <bullgard4> What does a door lock symbol mean in the 'Partition' field of the Gparted program?
[10:51] <ikonia> Crozar: you can change your desktop image using the background changing application in "System -> preferences "
[10:51] <Myrtti> tritty: so, have you checked the net if anyone else has had trouble with the same kind of display driver when installing ubuntu or using it
[10:51] <Crozar> ikonia, btw you see the icon of ubuntu near applications places and system? how can you change that?
[10:51] <ikonia> kim: what do you want me to do with that, I've explained the problem to you
[10:51] <evilc_> Hi all, I am trying to get a persistent install working on a USB key, I tried following instructions at pendrivelinux.com for GG 7.10, but had no joy. any suggestions?
[10:51] <tritty> muttii: ok, no i havent.. ill have to find out what driver i have and search the ubuntu forums?
[10:51] <ikonia> Crozar: thats an icon pack used by your theme
[10:51] <Crozar> ikonia, omG!Q
[10:51] <wally_> eckesicle im not sure if theres an error but i just cant figure out how to mount it, and all the fixes i have tried have not worked
[10:51] <Crozar> ikonia, i want to do something manually
[10:51] <ikonia> Crozar: then do it
[10:52] <Myrtti> tritty: do you know anything about your hardware? if it's a laptop, the model number etc
[10:52] <Crozar> ikonia, what was that command to make me go in the registry?
[10:52] <ikonia> Crozar: there ins't a registery
[10:52] <tritty> myrtii: well i know the laptop is a presario 2100
[10:52] <Crozar> ikonia, your nutz
 Maby help me with the problem? Do i need to install Ubuntu 7.10 all over again?
[10:52] <Crozar> goodnight
[10:52] <ikonia> Crozar: please stop trolling
[10:52] <tritty> i just booted windows on it to try and find out what the display driver is
[10:52] <ikonia> kim: no, just move the mediabuntu.org repos
[10:52] <brobostigon> medibuntu
[10:52] <ikonia> brobostigon: thank you
 but i don't know how to do that. Sorry. Totally newbi
[10:53] <nucco> tritty: you can do an 'lspci' to find out your display driver
[10:53] <eckesicle> wally_, but your windows partition does not boot yes?
[10:53] <ikonia> kim: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the entry
[10:53] <nucco> tritty: err.. video card
[10:53] <tritty> nucco: hi, whats an lspci lol?
[10:53] <wally_> eckesicle, yes something is wrong with it
[10:54] <Myrtti> /me backs away slowly
[10:54] <progreSSive> somebody help. When i click on the volume control icon, i get the following exception: "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either you dont have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured."  Any suggestions? please
[10:54] <dkT> ikonia: Thx now it works again...
[10:54] <jorik808> is there a wysiwyg type of editor for latex documents ?
[10:54] <nucco> tritty: lspci is a command :)
[10:54] <tritty> myrtti: thanks for your help
[10:55] <ikonia> dkT: no problem
[10:55] <eckesicle> wally_, i dont know how to check a ntfs disk from linux, probably fsck won't work
[10:55] <tritty> nucco: im having problems installing Ubuntu.. i cant use commands yet
[10:55] <tritty> nucco: it freezes halfway through the installation
[10:56] <evilc_> Anyone? I followed the tutorial @ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/  but I got no persistence
[10:56] <nucco> tritty: oh, i thought it was just a display driver thing... btw, what model of computer?
[10:57] <tritty> nucco: im ashamed to say its a HP presario 2100
[10:57] <Mocheeze> New Ubuntu user here. I'm loving it. Never need to go back to Windows. I got Photoshop and all of my games working through WINE. Such a liberating feeling. :)
[10:57] <nucco> tritty: why be ashamed? what version of ubuntu? 7.10? you're sure its not a problem with the CD you're using?
[10:58] <Lunz> hello,how do i update my audio and video codec?i am using feisty
[10:58] <tritty> nucco: no its 7.04, i have 7.10 downloading now, i checked just before and the cd is ok
[10:59] <eckesicle> wally_, what error do you get when trying to mount?
[10:59] <nucco> tritty: perhaps that would work... often that's the easiest thing to do: try a newer version
[10:59] <fstxx> how do I disable tracker?
[11:00] <nucco> tritty: hey, with those specs, perhaps you should try Dapper?
[11:00] <tritty> nucco: ok, ill just wait til it downloads and try again
[11:00] <tritty> nucco: whats dapper?
[11:00] <tritty> nucco: a differnet unix OS?
[11:00] <Mocheeze> fsfxx. system > preferences > indexing preferences
[11:00] <nucco> tritty: its an older version of ubuntu, version 6.06
[11:01] <Mocheeze> *indexing preferences
[11:01] <nucco> tritty: the more recent versions are more demanding
[11:01] <nucco> tritty: is it actuall 133MHz???
[11:01] <sledge8593> guys, can someone tell me how i can make a script suitable for init.d to run a program which doesnt have an option to stop but with CTRL-Z?
[11:01] <tritty> nucco: no
[11:02] <tritty> nucco: its a AMD 2400+ with 256 Mb ram
[11:02] <evilc_> also more buggy? I have come across so many errors and problems, 3 days wasted and I have gotten nowhere... Maybe I should try an older version?
[11:02] <tritty> nucco: so i imagined it shouldnt have any problems handling the newer ubuntu but i could be wrong
[11:02] <nucco> tritty: a ram upgrade would be cool, but it should be able to handle it.
[11:02] <eckesicle> wally_, you can always try a force mount
[11:03] <eckesicle> but i have to go im afraid
[11:03] <bullgard4> What does a door lock symbol mean in the 'Partition' field of the Gparted program?
[11:03] <sledge8593> i mean i run this program in terminal then when i want to stop it, i press CTRL-C
[11:03] <sledge8593> now i want to make a scipt to start this program on start-up
[11:03] <QuelTos> sledge8593: wouldn't it a bit weird to write a init.d script for a not demonizeable program?
[11:03] <rubydiamond2> how to add mp3 support for rhythmbox in ubuntu
[11:04] <QuelTos> sledge8593: i would suggest to use screen or something
[11:04] <nucco> mikebeecham: also, bookmark this page: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/17/ubuntu-desktop-effects-fixing-the-missing-titlebar/
[11:04] <nucco> might help

[11:04] <fume> bullgard4: myabe partition is mounted
[11:04] <sledge8593> QuelTos, what do you mean with screen?
[11:04] <mikebeecham> nucco: Was just looking at that page :D
[11:04] <mikebeecham> thanks mate
[11:05] <bullgard4> fume: I do not believe you. Almost all partitions show this symbol.
[11:05] <tritty> nucco: yeah i would like to upgrade my ram, but im planning on just buying a new laptop soonish anyhow and using this one as a back up so i cant see a reason to upgrade
[11:05] <mikebeecham> nuccoL is the sudo su password the same as my login password/
[11:05] <tritty> nucco: im trying the installation again, ill let you know how it goes
[11:05] <mikebeecham> nucco: ?
[11:05] <QuelTos> sledge8593: screen is a nice program which enables you to: manage multiple consoles inside one terminal
[11:05] <sledge8593> QuelTos, the program i want to run on start-up is vlc to stream media
[11:05] <nucco> mikebeecham: that link describes what rodelli was trying to tell you.
[11:05] <QuelTos> sledge8593: as a server?
[11:05] <mikebeecham> great
[11:06] <MilitantPotato> You still here?
[11:06] <nucco> tritty: the new version?
[11:06] <sledge8593> yap..sort of like a stream server. streaming over multicast
[11:06] <mikebeecham> nucco: is the sudo su password the same as my Ubuntu login password?
[11:06] <QuelTos> sledge8593: and screen enables you to start something in a console, logout (program keeps running), login and reattach to the console session again
[11:07] <nucco> mikebeecham: yes.
[11:07] <mikebeecham> ok nucco: thanks again!!
[11:07] <fstxx> mocheeze: thanks
[11:07] <QuelTos> sledge8593: i would suggest you try something like this:
[11:07] <BaD-Laptop> why 'sudo su' when you can just 'sudo -s' instead
[11:07] <nucco> mikebeecham: su password depends on which username you put after the command though.
[11:07] <sledge8593> QuelTos, will that work even without logging in?
[11:07] <evilc_> I am trying to set up an ubuntu persistent install on USB flash drive. Have tried 7.10 and the tutorial from pendrivelinux.com, but no joy. Please help, many many days spent trying to get this done...
[11:07] <nucco> mikebeecham: su roughly means 'switch user'
[11:07] <QuelTos> sledge8593: screen -d -m vlc-something
[11:07]  * nucco goes out to grab a bite
[11:08] <QuelTos> sledge8593: your init-scripts are run by root
[11:08] <mikebeecham> nucco: Thanks...that bit I now understand!
[11:08] <mikebeecham> :)
[11:08] <QuelTos> sledge8593: so you can reattach to the session as root (or as whatever user you run screen/vlc)
[11:08] <sledge8593> QuelTos, i can just use the screen command in my script to run the program?
[11:09] <QuelTos> sledge8593: yep
[11:09] <sledge8593> QuelTos, ok thanks..ill have a look at that
[11:09] <QuelTos> sledge8593: np.. hope that helps
[11:09] <MilitantPotato> Who was it that wanted help with pidgin?
[11:10] <MilitantPotato> Argh.
[11:10]  * evilc_ cries. 5 forum posts, many IRC requests for help, but never any replies.
[11:10] <jussi01> evilc_:  whats the issue?
[11:11] <evilc_> I am trying to set up an ubuntu persistent install on USB flash drive. Have tried 7.10 and the tutorial from pendrivelinux.com, but no joy. Please help, many many days spent trying to get this done...
[11:11] <evilc_> I just get no persistence
[11:11] <jussi01> evilc_: sorry, Ive no idea about that stuff
[11:12] <evilc_> tried following 2 or 3 other tutorials that seemed to be based off it too, but none seemed to work.
[11:12] <evilc_> I just need a version of linux I can boot off USB and the module usb-rndis-lite
[11:12] <jussi01> !install > jussi01
[11:13] <rubydiamond2> how to colorize folder modified and added in ubuntu for SVN
[11:13] <chief> Hi, I've a problem after 20-30mins or so my screen goes black, and a short time after that my monitor turns off, in the gnome power management setting they are both set to [never], anyone know why this is happening ?
[11:13] <sledge8593> QuelTos, one more thing..how do i stop the program then? i mean the there should be a "Stop" part in my script, how do i stop the program runned by screen?
[11:13] <MilitantPotato> Kalamansi: you there?
[11:13] <evilc_> I even tried installing ubuntu to HDD, but that doesn't work properly either. The network module doesn't work if you don't use DHCP, and none of the package installers can scan remote repositories
[11:14] <evilc_> I think I am gonna try mini windows install or something, at least windows works
[11:14] <jussi01> evilc_: have you tried dsl?
[11:15] <evilc_> dsl linux? not heard of it
[11:15] <jussi01> evilc_: damn small linux... quie basic, but I think it will wor well off usb
[11:15] <evilc_> oh, damned small, yes I have
[11:15] <evilc_> I tried puppy linux
[11:16] <evilc_> but that was a nightmare to install usb-rndis-lite on
[11:16] <jussi01> evilc_: iirc, dsl is debian based
[11:16] <evilc_> so I thouht I would try a more mainstream linux so that installing usb-rndis-lite was easier
[11:16] <evilc_> how wrong I was.
[11:17] <jussi01> evilc_: Im sure its something small you are missing - i know people who have had ubuntu running from usb before
[11:17] <Varka> bullgard4: you should better believe fume as he is right, look at the comment of "figure 30" in the documentation http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/generalities/gparted.htm
[11:18] <evilc_> Wasn't really looking for that cut down a linux either. I have a 4GB USB flash drive and the PCs I use are all reasonably OK
[11:18] <evilc_> but thanks for your advice, juss
[11:18] <Yanch0> how can i use screen please? i want to load psql in a screen
[11:19] <Patchak> hey all, I'm looking for a good bittorrent client any suggestions?
[11:19] <Myrtti> Yanch0: screen <command>
[11:19] <Patchak> I don,t like the too simple bittorrent that comes with ubuntu by default
[11:19] <Haemoth> Patchak, deluge
[11:19] <Myrtti> Patchak: bittornado
[11:19] <void^> !bittorrent
[11:19] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[11:20] <Yanch0> Myrtti then how can i leave it running?
[11:20] <Myrtti> Yanch0: you can detach a screen session with ctrl-a,d
[11:20] <Patchak> I'm confused about gnome and kde, do apps built for one will work with the other?
[11:20] <Myrtti> and return to it with screen -r
[11:20] <ricanelite> Good Morning everyone!
[11:20] <Patchak> sometimes when you read program descriptions it seems like that stuff is an OS over the OS
[11:21] <void^> Patchak: yes, if the libraries they require are installed.
[11:21] <Patchak> ok
[11:21] <Myrtti> Patchak: Qt (KDE) and GTK (Gnome) provide the GUI libraries and widgets
[11:21] <Yanch0> Myrtti this means it is running right? : 29551 postgres 25 0 23100 13m 11m R 99.8 2.8 0:37.40 postmaster
[11:21] <Patchak> right
[11:21] <void^> Patchak: it's more of a look&feel issue - "foreign" apps don't blend in as well.
[11:21] <Patchak> ok but in general they work
[11:21] <Patchak> I see
[11:21] <Myrtti> Patchak: you can run Qt-apps in Gnome if you've got Qt-libs installed
[11:21] <Myrtti> Patchak: and vice versa
[11:22] <Patchak> Myrtti, ok I see, thanks
[11:22] <Patchak> so it,s a philosophy thing
[11:22] <Yanch0> any way i can check if it is running / status Myrtti pls ?
[11:23] <Myrtti> Yanch0: screen -ls
[11:23] <chief> Hi, I've a problem after 20-30mins or so my screen goes black, and a short time after that my monitor turns off, in the gnome power management setting they are both set to [never], anyone know why this is happening ?
[11:24] <Yanch0> Myrtti : 29460.pts-1.Ubuntu (Detached) that means its working right? :))
[11:24] <Kalamansi> !seen militantpotato
[11:25] <_Johny> Hello
[11:25] <Myrtti> Yanch0: well you can try to reattach it
[11:25] <Myrtti> Yanch0: screen -r
[11:26] <Yanch0> yes its good Myrtti :)
[11:26] <Yanch0> thanks for the help \o/
[11:26] <_Johny> A stupid question ; What's the name of these package one uses to install build .deb and install it with dpkg, instead of just "make install"?
[11:26] <Hawk_> Hey I just switched from Windows to Ubuntu, how would I compile Compiz 4.0 ?
[11:27] <_Johny> Hawk_, You don't have to compile anything really, just take a look at the documentation
[11:28] <Jordan_U__> evilc_, Is the ext2 partition named "casper-rw" ?
[11:28] <_Johny> It was checkinstall -;)
[11:30] <Patchak> really weird I try to download a folder from my webserver to my comp with gftp and each time itjust fails, the program closes
[11:30] <Patchak> no error,anything, just closes
[11:31] <eXtreem> Hi Patchak, I had also problems with GFtp. Now I use FireFTP (a Firefox plugin) and it works fine
[11:32] <Hawk_> Anyone help me on how to compile Compiz 4.0, I dont understand what you have to do in the terminal
[11:32] <void^> _Johny: checkinstall
[11:32] <z1pp3r> Anyone actually managed to get all buttons on a logitech MX518 mouse working? I've found several guides, but none of them worked for me.
[11:32] <rgl> hi
[11:32] <void^> _Johny: oops, i'm a "little" late :-)
[11:32] <_Johny> void^, Thanks
[11:32] <Patchak> eXtreem, yeah I need something with ssh support
[11:32] <newguyss> Hi, Iam having trouble installing JDK, looks like its something with multiverse how to go with that?
[11:33] <rgl> you guys known what packages creates /usr/lib/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem (or at /etc/ssl/certs/) ? (dpkg -S does now known about that file)
[11:34] <eXtreem> I don't know that much about FTP, the only thing I know is that FireFTP works fine for me, maybe someone else has a solution for your problem...
[11:34] <_Johny> void^, May I ask you a question? The new release of xmms has just appeared, I have the previous one already installed.the new is to build. Do I have to uninstall the previous one, before I begin to buld the new?
[11:34] <newguyss> or, how would I know if the JDK is installed and working?
[11:34] <Hawk_> Can someone please help me on compiling Compiz, I dont know what you have to do in the terminal.
[11:34] <_Johny> !Compiz|Hawk_
[11:34] <ubotu> Hawk_: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[11:35] <Jordan_U_> newguyss, Compile a java app with javac?
[11:35] <Jordan_U_> Hawk_, Why compile it?
[11:35] <bazhang> Hawk_: for Feisty, or compiz-fusion for Gutsy
[11:35] <void^> _Johny: it shouldn't interfere with building it, and 'make install' usually uses /usr/local as the default prefix so you might be able to install the version along with the old package without too much fuss
[11:35] <winnie> How do i know what my super user password is?
[11:35] <Jordan_U_> !root | winnie
[11:35] <ubotu> winnie: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[11:35] <newguyss> Jordan_Uinstalling geoserver
[11:36] <bazhang> winnie: that is the one you entered when you installed--have you forgotten it?
[11:36] <winnie> no, i didn't forget, but what i entered is not working
[11:36] <_Johny> void^, Thank you

[11:36] <ricanelite> what type of Fonts you all use in Linux? Because I notice when surfing on different sites the fonts look way different from how they look in Mac OS X or on Windows
[11:36] <Jordan_U_> newguyss, What I meant was that you can check that the JDK is installed by compiling a java app
[11:37] <Jordan_U_> ricanelite, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[11:37] <newguyss> Jordan_U_: how to do that?
[11:38] <ricanelite> Reading package lists... Done
[11:38] <ricanelite> Building dependency tree
[11:38] <ricanelite> Reading state information... Done
[11:38] <ricanelite> msttcorefonts is already the newest version.
[11:38] <ricanelite> msttcorefonts set to manual installed.
[11:38] <ricanelite> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[11:38] <Jordan_U_> newguyss, First, you know that if you just need to run Java apps you don't need the JDK, correct?
[11:38] <bazhang> ricanelite: pastebin it next time
[11:38] <ricanelite> oo sorry
[11:38] <ricanelite> how do I pastebin?
[11:38] <Mortice> !paste | ricanelite
[11:38] <ubotu> ricanelite: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:38] <winnie> sudo did it, thanks!

[11:39] <ricanelite> is there a application for Ubuntu where I could make my blog post right from my Desktop and send it so I do not have to always be opening up my browser
[11:39] <brobostigon> void, what did i do??
[11:40] <Mortice> brobostigon: i think void meant to say that to brighteyedea.
[11:40] <void^> brobostigon: right, sorry, i meant brighteyedea. i will try not to do that again ;)
[11:40] <brobostigon> ok

[11:43] <n3ll0> irc.oltreirc.net
[11:43] <z1pp3r> kilonux, i would start looking at the error X is giving
[11:44] <z1pp3r> ./var/log/xorg.log maybe
[11:44] <justinp1> kilonux: and ~/.xsession-errors
[11:45] <brobostigon> try the system log viewer in /system admin
[11:45] <kilonux> I read you all, thanks I'l begin.
[11:45] <z1pp3r> gl
[11:48] <mikebeecham> Can anyone tell me what the real difference between all the *buntu distros is, apart from interface...is there any real benefit in going from one to the other?
[11:48] <meng> is there a simple workaround for the adobe flash bug in ubuntu?
[11:48] <bmt2> hello to all
[11:48] <z1pp3r> mikebeecham, you get a different window manager.... and thats about it
[11:49] <bmt2> i am trying to dertermine what "interface" is runing my wireless conneciton.... i thought it was "wmaster0"...but that is not it !
[11:49] <mikebeecham> ok z1pp3r...so it's all down to personal preference?
[11:49] <z1pp3r> yes
[11:49] <Mortice> bmt2: type 'sudo iwconfig' on a terminal and it should tell you.
[11:49] <bmt2> I want to put a icon at the bottom of the screen where the rest of my icons are at
[11:50] <bmt2> Mortice: thanks, i will try that
[11:50] <z1pp3r> mikebeecham, ofcourse the applications are different, since kubuntu will mostly use kde applications, and gnome will use, well, gnome applications.
[11:50] <z1pp3r> as default anyway, feel free to change that
[11:50] <mikebeecham> z1pp3r: ...I'm a complete linux noob, so I need to ask the questions!! :D
[11:50] <Haemoth> meng, what bug?
[11:51] <z1pp3r> hell, you can run both kde and gnome if you want, and select which to use on each login
[11:51] <mikebeecham> installed it last night
[11:51] <bmt2> Mortice: i got wmaster0, and wlan0
[11:51] <mikebeecham> love it, but it is a tad confusing on, well, most of it :D
[11:51] <Haemoth> I got wmaster0 too but I don't know what it is
[11:51] <meng> the play youtube then it crashes due to high cpu use bug
[11:51] <z1pp3r> mikebeecham, everything is in the beginning =)
[11:51] <Mortice> bmt2: well, logic dictates that if wmaster0 isn't the one you want, then wlan0 is :)
[11:51] <mikebeecham> indeed
[11:51] <john> vfv
[11:52] <mikebeecham> the font thing is strange for me...the fonts are wider than I'm used to at the moment
[11:52] <mikebeecham> lol
[11:52] <mikebeecham> being a designer I notice the aestheitc, I guess
[11:52] <z1pp3r> hmm?
[11:52] <meng> mikebeecham>do you want a windows look or are you aiming for something different
[11:52] <john> lbfb
[11:52] <z1pp3r> meng, fonts should not be different in windows
[11:52] <mikebeecham> meng:  I dont mind them at all...I'm not sure I want to re-produce windows in linux...that seems a tad foolish to me
[11:52] <john> ca u help me
[11:52] <z1pp3r> mikebeecham, you sure you have microsoft fonts installed?
[11:53] <mikebeecham> it's just a matter of transition, I guess
[11:53] <z1pp3r> !fonts
[11:53] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
well some people are so ingrained with the windows way, so i thought i should ask
i am not even asking about fonts
[11:53] <meng> lol
[11:53] <mikebeecham> meng Of course, and I suppose for a lifetime doze user, it's going to be different no matter what I do!
[11:53] <mikebeecham> lol
[11:53] <arash_> all my files are showing up as user/group 1000, what might be the cause of this?
[11:54] <mikebeecham> but I love it already...
[11:54] <saftle> I haven't been messing with ubuntu for awhile, and wanted to ask if my x1650 ati card can now support aiglx with fglrx yet? cuz I would love to have full 3D-Acceleration with beryl/compiz
[11:54] <arash_> )o
[11:54] <bmt2> Mortice: thanks....i got it working...i swear i hate when i try to do it myself, i get stumped, i come on here, and the answer is just so easily revealed to me....lol....thanks again
[11:54] <arash_> (i'm root, so my id/gid are 0)

[12:50] <Angel2006> ...
[12:50] <jrib> !timebasedreleases > damike (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:50] <b1n42y> !dualboot
[12:50] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[12:50] <richard> you can give it a try
[12:51] <gordonjcp> damike: yes, it does
[12:51] <jrib> damike: security updates definitely.  You get them using your favorite package manager
[12:51] <richard> I never used IRC chat before, but I've seen an option for sending files
[12:51] <gordonjcp> damike: if there's an update, then it will be downloaded next time you do an update
[12:51] <sybariten> IdleOne, jrib : ah, ok ok, i pressed the wrong link...  list of files.... thank you!
[12:51] <damike> gordonjcp: i got several problems. can't i update to 2.6.23 manually?
[12:52] <gordonjcp> damike: is there a 2.6.23 package?
[12:52] <Angel2006> i've just send you it..but you must accept...
[12:52] <Angel2006> .: richard :.
[12:52] <Angel2006> i've just send you it..but you must accept...
[12:52] <damike> gordonjcp: i don't know. is there an image?
[12:52] <IdleOne> sybariten: np at the top of that page there is a link top the centerim page. if the .deb doesnt work you can probably download and compile the source yourself and it should have instructions there but try the deb first
[12:53] <gordonjcp> damike: it doesn't look like it
[12:53] <gordonjcp> damike: What exactly are you trying to do?
[12:53] <damike> gordonjcp: update several drivers - wlan is quite buggy, graphic too
[12:53] <richard> Angel2006: I don't see anything to accept
[12:53] <Angel2006> .: richard :. wait i0m uploading that on rapidshare
[12:53] <gordonjcp> damike: if there isn't a deb of 2.6.23 you'll need to compile your own
[12:54] <richard> ok

[12:54] <Fossilet> hello manuel_
[12:54] <jrib> damike: there is no package for 2.6.23
[12:54] <Angel2006> it's froozen in that position...

[12:55] <sybariten> IdleOne: ok ... by the way i got a lot of dependecy problems... to say the least. Is there a way to tell dpkg to go out and fetch dependencies, even more thouroughly ... or is it already configured for that with the -i option?

[13:02] <minus198> Hi dudes.. Can someone tell me why I cant change locales? When I do: dpkg-reconfigure locales; it doesn't let me choose which locales I want, it just spits out the current locales. And according to Gnome-terminal, my current locale is "ANSI_X3.4-1968".
[13:03] <thoreman234> so now what do i do?
[13:03] <minus198> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2056/

[13:24] <IdleOne> I would say that probably up to 200 users in this channel right now are actualy bots
[13:25] <zhaozhou> You really think so?
[13:25] <IdleOne> look at the nick that start with [ they have never said a word as far as I know
[13:25] <IdleOne> nicks
[13:26] <zhaozhou> Err, i cant list users. Hmm.
[13:26] <Javid> anyone know of a thing for windows that does the same thing as the beryl plugin that lets you draw on top of the screen? x.x
[13:26] <IdleOne> probably hoping for some giant major split and trying to take the channel. good thing #ubuntu has friends in high places lol
[13:26] <Javid> botspam
[13:27] <IdleOne> anyway that is offtopic
[13:28] <Pici> Javid: I advise asking in ##windows
[13:29] <minus198> Why doesn't "dpkg-reconfigure locales" let me choose which locales I want?
[13:29] <IdleOne> !locales
[13:29] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[13:31] <minus198> IdleOne, That doesn't help me...
[13:31] <minus198> Cause localeconf is not installed, and doesn't exist in the apt.
[13:32] <drunkmuppet> Hai anyone here that can help?
[13:32] <drunkmuppet> Probably something easy...
[13:33] <kae> hi there ;)
[13:33] <richard> what's the problem, I'll give it a try
[13:33] <drunkmuppet> Alright. so When I open new windows.
[13:33] <drunkmuppet> The top toolbar starts above the screen
[13:33] <kae> do anyone use virtualbox or do know how its room is called (if there is one)?
[13:34] <richard> drunkmuppet: let me think for a moment
[13:34] <drunkmuppet> ok. If you need a screenshot of what im talking about I can do that.
[13:34] <drunkmuppet> It's not the case where the toolbar is not there. Ie. problem with windows decorations.
[13:35] <richard> you mean the titlebar from any windows?
[13:35] <drunkmuppet> yes
[13:35] <richard> window?
[13:35] <richard> ok
[13:35] <drunkmuppet> let me disable effects and see if it happens.
[13:35] <drunkmuppet> That will help narrow down the source.
[13:35] <sn00zer> kae: i have virtualbox, haven't used it yet tho
[13:35] <richard> and if you move the window down, do you see the titlebar?
[13:35] <drunkmuppet> yea. And then it can't go back above.
[13:36] <drunkmuppet> ok so the problem is def with advance effects
[13:36] <richard> I had the problem that the titlebar was completely missing
[13:36] <drunkmuppet> yea. I've read solutions to that. But my titlebar is visible
[13:36] <richard> if you use compiz try: compiz --replace
[13:36] <richard> ok
[13:37] <kae> virtualbox is really really great
[13:37] <kae> it runs very well here and i don't have mouse issues as i had with vmware
[13:37] <richard> Than I do not have a solution for you, drunkmuppet, maybe someone else???
[13:38] <drunkmuppet> Well I seemed to have fixed it.
[13:38] <richard> how??
[13:38] <drunkmuppet> Now windows open in bottom right. Like I want them too.
[13:38] <drunkmuppet> I selected to use
[13:38] <drunkmuppet> Extra Effects
[13:38] <drunkmuppet> instead of custom
[13:39] <richard> ok
[13:39] <roe> how do I tell gnome to hide dotfiles
[13:39] <gcolourAga> Hmmm.
[13:39] <IdleOne> roe: right click on the file there should be a option to hide
[13:40] <roe> I have to do that per file?
[13:40] <IdleOne> roe probably not
[13:40] <roe> I can't do it globally
[13:40] <Templar> hi there - gusty seems to have recked my monitor and now its messing with an old one - even though it has detected the correct monitor anyone else had problems
[13:40] <IdleOne> roe what do you mean by .files?
[13:40] <gcolourAga> Anyone know WHY macbooks are so rotten when you do SSH to an ubuntu install?
[13:40] <K3rl0u4rn> hi people, how do I find which applications accesses a file or device ?
[13:41] <gcolourAga> Specifically when I use screen.
[13:41] <K3rl0u4rn> I mean which currently have an opened handle on such device / file
[13:41] <FallenHitokiri> K3rl0u4rn: lsof
[13:41] <sn00zer> roe: try alt+h
[13:41] <roe> all of the files/folders that begin with a '.' like .ssh .gnupg .mozilla etc, terminal hides them unless I issue an -a to ls
[13:41] <K3rl0u4rn> FallenHitokiri: thanks
[13:42] <gcolourAga> roe
[13:42] <IdleOne> ahh roe then click on VIEW in nautilus and uncheck show hidden files
[13:42] <IdleOne> roe alth should also hide them
[13:42] <gcolourAga> You can make an alias in your .profile to bind ls to ls -lah
[13:42] <gcolourAga> If you want ls to show all files.
[13:43] <Templar> what have they done to gusty to make it the monitor destroyer - fiesty was fine
[13:43] <roe> got it thanx
[13:44] <Templar> all your monitors ok and not burnt out then...
[13:44] <IdleOne> Templar: what do you mean it is phisicaly breakingthe monitor?
[13:44] <Templar> ya
[13:45] <Templar> flickering then few days later smell of burning
[13:45] <Templar> then bang its dead
[13:45] <minus198> Please! Can someone help me! I've asked this question probably around 10 times now...
[13:45] <gcolourAga> CRT's?
[13:45] <minus198> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2055/
[13:45] <Templar> and now the flickering has started on the second monitor
[13:45] <Templar> crt ya
[13:45] <richard> I got an old monitor on an old pc with gutsy installed and had it on for a few days, not any problem
[13:45] <minus198> Why do I have that, and why cant I do: "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
[13:45] <IdleOne> I dont have that issue. do you have the monitor plugged into a "power bar" or direct to the wall. maybe it is getting a surge from the outlet
[13:46] <dmi3on> hi all i cant connect program to internet with wine can any one help plz
[13:46] <dmi3on> what other program i can use to run windos soft ?
[13:46] <IdleOne> dmi3on: #winehq
[13:46] <Templar> no sur charge from the wall for sure cause have a dual boot with xp too and this flickering only happens with gusty
[13:47] <Templar> fiesty gave no trouble
[13:47] <sn00zer> Templar: has gusty killed any LCD's?
[13:47] <richard> dmi3on: WineX or Cedeca are also some windows emulators
[13:47] <gcolourAga> Templar: are you giving a wrong refresh rate or something?
[13:48] <Templar> dont know bout the LCDs on have a dead crt and one that will be dead soon by the looks of it
[13:48] <IdleOne> Templar: you should probably report this to launchpad.net but I dont think that there would be anything in gutsy that could cause something like that
[13:48] <dag_dg> sorry to interrupt, however I'm having some issues with metacity I believe. Before I upgraded to gutsy I had smart windows placement working, now my windows will just automatically overlap each other. How would I go about fixing this?(I'm not using compiz)
[13:48] <gcolourAga> Some old CRT's don't like that.
[13:48] <Templar> but it auto detects the monitor
[13:48] <gcolourAga> Then manually set it to a lower refresh rate. Do they run on their supported resolutions?
[13:50] <Templar> ya its matching the manual from what i can see - could there be a bug in the OS somehow or part of corrupted from a scratched cd or something when i installed it
[13:50] <rubydiamond> #rubyonrails
[13:50] <rubydiamond> how to start deskbar applet
[13:50] <gcolourAga> I don't think so, I think it is even completely impossible to wreck a monitor over the VGA cable unless you get a power surge.
[13:51] <gcolourAga> When you send 'invalid' data to a monitor it just does not show anything :)
[13:51] <Templar> ya?
[13:51] <gcolourAga> None the less you wrecked two :p
[13:51] <richard> The monitor when should go in sleepmode when using wrong settings
[13:51] <riccardo> hello all.. anyone can help me with compiz please? i'm a linux newbie ;)
[13:51] <dag_dg> because I've tried reinstalling metacity.
[13:52] <gcolourAga> riccardo: join #ubuntu-effects
[13:52] <riccardo> oks
[13:52] <Templar> maybe its the vga port on the pc that is messed up but was all fine untill i got gusty - im still suspicious
[13:52] <richard> joint #ubuntu-effects
[13:52] <richard> join #ubuntu-effects
[13:52] <gcolourAga> :+

[13:53] <gcolourAga> Also the 'alt' key don't work.
[13:53] <gcolourAga> Any leads?
[13:53]  * genii sips a coffee
[13:54] <cofeineSunshine> gcolourAga, probably mac's sucks
[13:55] <colourAgga> cofeineSunshine: that's nonsense it works fine on other systems
[13:55] <colourAgga> just not mine
[13:56] <richard> Someone I know also have ubuntu running fine on a MACBook, but I got no idea how to fix the problem
[13:56] <cofeineSunshine> colourAgga, maybe locales is wrong
[13:56] <kane77> hi.. how do I recover grub? I tried to install gentoo and it just overwritten my ubuntu grub and now it gives "error 15"
[13:56] <slackern> colourAgga, i think i read something about a similar issue before, it was in a swedish forum though but i can go and check if i can find it again
