[03:21] <justin420> fiendskull9: dont have any firewalls running do you? if so I dont know; i did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade twice and everything was sort of ok. the only issues i had was a parallel printer issue and vmware running in general issue; other wise everything worked. are you sure you internet connection is working?
[03:21] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, hehe
[03:21] <RobNyc> whats up
[03:21] <viator> nobody knows?
[03:21] <viator> hmmmm
[03:21] <Pests> Gen: Found one person saying it works fine as eth1. Im just worried about my alternatives if it does not work however.
[03:21] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/yourpartition /mnt/osx
[03:21] <fiendskull9> ;)
[03:21] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, thats it ?
[03:21] <fiendskull9> yep
[03:21] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, but you can only read hfs part right
[03:22] <fiendskull9> if its journaled
[03:22] <fiendskull9> turn off journaling with diskutil
[03:22] <fiendskull9> and then its RW
[03:22] <fiendskull9> justin420, well, i was configuring network with webmin a while agi
[03:22] <fiendskull9> *ago
[03:22] <fiendskull9> and i think it messed it up
[03:23] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, why u not in vlos
[03:23] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, im working on my server
[03:23] <fiendskull9> its runing ubuntu
[03:23] <justin420> fiendskull9: last time i used webmin was on debian sarge; and i heard it wasnt too safe to use; so i quit using it. so i am sorry i cant help you. :(
[03:23] <RobNyc> cool
[03:23] <fiendskull9> mmmk
[03:23] <fiendskull9> brb
[03:23] <dsnyders> Hi all.  I'm looking for partitioning recommendations:  Sizes, what goes where, etc.  Everything in one partition has cost me a weeks worth of reconstruction efforts and some very important files. (No, I didn't back them up.)
[03:23] <Pests> The current ubuntu install disk also acts as a live cd does it not?
[03:23] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, i wanna set up my fstab to automount my hfs =)
[03:24] <kitche> Pests: the desktop install cd does
[03:24] <Pests> kitche: kk, thanks.
[03:24] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, well partition type is hfsplus
[03:25] <b0ss_> i just fixed my problem
[03:25] <b0ss_> added noapic beofre -- in boot directive
[03:25] <wsjunior> im running ubuntu in amd64, why azureus doesnt work?
[03:25] <Firefishe> GenNMX: Here is my current /etc/apt/sources.list, at this link:  http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/pUm0AX57.html  Might you give a brief critique.
[03:25] <Pests> Are there torrent download links anywhere?
[03:25] <the_burk> wsjunior, there is a problem with java on amd64
[03:25] <justin420> well l8r yall. its time to get stoned and play some doom3 and quake4. yall have phun. cya another time.
[03:25] <kitche> wsjunior: did you install java?
[03:26] <bruenig> Firefishe, I can confirm that the us repos aren't working at least not for me. I changed mine to uk and I was able to get what I needed
[03:26] <Cas> dsnyders: that's very personal and depends on your needs and use of the system. I like to have my /home and /var separate because I put all my files in there so they don't fill up my root system. Also because I like to have those partitions encrypted(I have a laptop).
[03:26] <wsjunior> kitche: i installed azureus using synaptic
[03:26] <wsjunior> the_burk: i installed it using synaptic
[03:26] <Firefishe> bruenig: that'd work, I don't care what archives I use.  Can you give me url with a listing of the repositories you're using, please?
[03:26] <b0ss_> wine can run win32 services yes?
[03:27] <bruenig> Firefishe, well I am on edgy myself
[03:27] <b0ss_> and install .exe
[03:27] <kitche> wsjunior: well that didn't really answer my question but azureus doesn't really like gnu java
[03:27] <wsjunior> kitche: http://rafb.net/paste/results/uudEPT73.html
[03:27] <Firefishe> bruenig: ah.. i c
[03:27] <kitche> b0ss_: well wine is used to install windows programs
[03:27] <the_burk> wsjunior, java? o0r just the azerus package?
[03:27] <wsjunior> kitche: thats what i get when i try to run it
[03:27] <b0ss_> oo
[03:27] <wsjunior> the_burk: http://rafb.net/paste/results/uudEPT73.html
[03:27] <rance1> I need some netorking help with ubuntu 6.06 LTS server, could someone take a look at http://www.pastebin.us/9320 I've listed my problems there
[03:27] <bruenig> Firefishe, to change to uk, you can just run this command, sudo sed 's/us./uk./g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:27] <Cas> dsnyders: there are many recommendations about this matter, but they are more about the minimal sizes. try googling or look in google goups for some good reasons
[03:28] <wsjunior> kitche: what does that means?
[03:28] <wsjunior> the_burk: do u know what is going on?
[03:28] <umista> wht do i need to run vmware, like wht program?
[03:28] <b0ss_> so if i get wine i can run cs
[03:28] <borfborf> I think I'll just install xp until I get my other computer running and can tool around with this one as a spare... :(
[03:28] <b0ss_> and games and stuff
[03:29] <ski-worklap> isit just me or is us.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[03:29] <the_burk> umista, vmware and the os you want?
[03:29] <kitche> wsjunior: try install java since azureus doesn't like gnj
[03:29] <umista> windows need to study
[03:29] <taan> hi, i got ubuntu installed, all latest updates, and using nvidia 5200 with latest ubuntu drivers for it... but UI is quite slow. any ideas why (winxp under vmware is snappier)
[03:29] <b0ss_> us arvhives
[03:29] <b0ss_> are down.
[03:29] <borfborf> thank you jrib and others who tried to help me!
[03:29] <bruenig> ski-worklap, yes I believe it is
[03:29] <kitche> b0ss_: yes everyone knows it's even in the topic
[03:29] <Pests> Are there any offical ubuntu torrents?
[03:29] <dsnyders> Cas, I am googling.  I came across some sort of recommendation a while ago, and I can't find it now.
[03:29] <bruenig> Pests, yes there are on the download page of ubuntu.com
[03:29] <b0ss_> mmmmmmmmmk
[03:29] <ski-worklap> hmm
[03:29] <b0ss_> cus i dont need windows..
[03:30] <the_burk> wsjunior, install real java as kitche said .. or install blackice java .. might be better because you have amd64 ..
[03:30] <ski-worklap> there should be a way to specify fallback sites in sources.list
[03:30] <b0ss_> im tired of damm windows.
[03:30] <wsjunior> kitche: which package exactly should i install?
[03:30] <bruenig> ski-worklap, sudo sed 's/us./uk./g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list will change it to uk mirrors
[03:30] <wsjunior> the_burk: whats the name of the package for it?
[03:30] <rance1> I went to the vmware web site, downloaded vmware server free and then followed the directions at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server and didnt have any trouble
[03:30] <Wonderl00t> hello im using ubuntu edgy and its awesome! qucik question guys: Whats the easiest way to get ubuntu to read/write to my ntfs partitions?
[03:30] <ski-worklap> bruenig, yeah i just did that for ca
[03:30] <kitche> !java|wsjunior make sure your not using the us.archieve.ubuntu.com repos you will need to use uk or another one
[03:30] <ubotu> wsjunior make sure your not using the us.archieve.ubuntu.com repos you will need to use uk or another one: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[03:31] <krups> wonderl00t - write not supported.
[03:31] <ski-worklap> point is i don't much care where i get my packages from, i should be able to say {us || ca || uk}.archive.ubuntu.org
[03:31] <dsnyders> Cas, I definitely want to have my /home on a separate partition, if not on a separate drive.
[03:31] <Pests> I cannot seem to be able to find the torrent links =/
[03:32] <koolatron> I think i managed to screw up sudo - when trying to execute something, I get asked for my password, but nothing I do seems to affect anything and i don't get console output.
[03:32] <b0ss_> apt getting wine
[03:32] <koolatron> i accidentally blew away my supplementary groups
[03:32] <krups> Wonderl00t - but read stuff is here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_manually.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[03:32] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, i cant turn off journalied in linux ?
[03:32] <fiendskull9> nope
[03:32] <fiendskull9> boot to osx
[03:32] <green_earz> Pests: torrent link for what ?
[03:33] <fiendskull9> i got a networking prob
[03:33] <koolatron> what are the default supp. groups?  and how can i restore them?  boot into single-user mode?
[03:33] <fiendskull9> my server cant resolve any other servers
[03:33] <bruenig> Pests, http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[03:33] <wsjunior> kitche: thats for 32bit
[03:33] <Pests> Thanks bru.
[03:33] <fiendskull9> so pinging anything doesnt work, and i cant apt-get anything
[03:33] <kitche> wsjunior: you on x86_64?
[03:33] <wsjunior> kitche: yes!
[03:33] <bruenig> Pests, the setup is a bit confusing, I don't know why they changed it.
[03:34] <fiendskull9> java still wont work on those x86 emulated AMD's
[03:34] <bruenig> Pests, by setup I mean the way the webpage is setup
[03:34] <g0tw00d> can someone help me with my source.list file....I think I have something wrong
[03:34] <Pests> Ah, yeah.
[03:34] <Pests> Sorry for the hassle.
[03:34] <bruenig> g0tw00d, what is the problem
[03:34] <Wonderl00t> krups: thanks would you recommennd using ntfs-3g? any risks to damaging partitions/files?
[03:34] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, but isnt journalied w/e it is good though for osx
[03:34] <fiendskull9> it wont allow R/W from linux then
[03:34] <g0tw00d> im trying to run apt-get install openssh-server
[03:34] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, all it does it makes tiny backups of open documents here and there
[03:35] <fiendskull9> its not useful unless your using OSX for _real_ working :P
[03:35] <bruenig> g0tw00d, and...?
[03:35] <kitche> wsjunior: think sun has x86_64 on their website
[03:35] <g0tw00d> and I uncommented the two lines out I think
[03:35] <g0tw00d> but it says package missing
[03:35] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, and i thought'd you'd have learned from carlitos that unstable is the VLOS way ;)
[03:35] <bruenig> !info openssh-server
[03:35] <ubotu> openssh-server: Secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.3p2-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 212 kB, installed size 552 kB
[03:35] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, what u mean
[03:35] <TGPO> g0tw00d try apt-get install ssh
[03:35] <bruenig> g0tw00d, pastebin your sources.list
[03:35] <bruenig> !paste
[03:35] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, dont worry about it
[03:35] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:35] <rance1> g0tw00d, if you are following the hint I listed on the vmware install, you might neet to wait till the pachage mirror comes back online
[03:36] <ski-worklap> hmm
[03:36] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, lol
[03:36] <ski-worklap> how do i tell totem to piss off and let mplayer-plugin handle multimedia in ffox?
[03:36] <fiendskull9> RobNyc, if you want to Read and write to your osx partition from linux, then you need to disable the OSX86's journaling
[03:36] <fiendskull9> from inside osx
[03:36] <RobNyc> so let me go boot into osx and i'll see if i can turn it off
[03:36] <g0tw00d> nope.. didnt work
[03:36] <bruenig> ski-worklap, sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[03:37] <g0tw00d> someone earlier told me that was how i installed it
[03:37] <ski-worklap> dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of totem-mozilla: ubuntu-desktop depends on totem-mozilla.
[03:37] <RobNyc> fiendskull9, so journaling is not needed
[03:37] <fiendskull9> no
[03:37] <g0tw00d> im not following any guide
[03:37] <the_burk> ski-worklap, : thats ok
[03:37] <borg> got wood? lol nice name
[03:37] <ski-worklap> yeah that's just annoying
[03:37] <ski-worklap> should be a diversion/alternative situation
[03:37] <g0tw00d> :p
[03:37] <bimberi> !ubuntu-desktop | ski-worklap
[03:37] <ubotu> ski-worklap: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[03:37] <g0tw00d> thx
[03:37] <highneko> ski-worklap: sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin; sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[03:38] <adam> hey everybody
[03:38] <bruenig> ski-worklap, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[03:38] <koolatron> Okay, so, I know what the problem is - how do I restore my groups if I managed to blow them away?  I think I need to log into single-user mode
[03:38] <g0tw00d> also when I open my add/remove i get errors trying to get the sources
[03:38] <fiendskull9> how do i configure my DNS servers to use through a shell
[03:38] <bruenig> g0tw00d, yeah the us mirrors are down
[03:38] <adam> got a question since my forum post hasn't been answered and it keeps getting knocked down the list haha
[03:38] <g0tw00d> so that is why I am having trouble
[03:38] <sc4ttrdbrain> !chrooted
[03:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chrooted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:38] <g0tw00d> and cant install ssh?
[03:39] <highneko> !ask | adam
[03:39] <ubotu> adam: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:39] <bruenig> g0tw00d, sudo sed 's/us./ca./g' -i.backup sources.list, do that to change to the canadian mirrors
[03:39] <sc4ttrdbrain> !chroot
[03:39] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[03:39] <bruenig> g0tw00d, sorry don't do that do, sudo sed 's/us./ca./g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list, I forgot the exact path
[03:39] <ski-worklap> sweet, thanks all
[03:40] <taan> GUI is slow. any thoughts how to troubleshoot? (gksudo takes long time while background fades)
[03:40] <g0tw00d> ok
[03:41] <adam> yesterday there was a compiz update...ever since I installed it any programs that use 3d acceleration have slowed down a bit...and the rotating desktop cube (XGL) rotates REALLY FAST now...and the taskbar at the bottom shows only 2 desktop windows instead of 4
[03:41] <the_burk> taan using compiz or xgl?
[03:42] <kitche> adam: probably your configu has changed
[03:42] <taan> burk, no, nothing like that
[03:42] <adam> what should I check
[03:42] <taan> burk, plane vanilla gnome
[03:42] <the_burk> tan what is slow?? 2 sec fad or 2 minutes?
[03:42] <taan> ~10 sec
[03:43] <kitche> adam: I don't use compiz or XGL but it sounds to me like your config has changed
[03:43] <taan> burk, plus made a bitblt type test on gtk, about 1/4th thoughtput that on win32 setup (same hardware)
[03:43] <adam> let me try running a 3d program with the nonXgl script to see if that makes a difference then
[03:43] <the_burk> taan, got any big processes running??

[03:46] <taan> been like that since start, just starting to drive me more latelly
[03:46] <adam> yes...when I run games with the nonXgl script the games run at full speed...problem is the nonXgl script causes games to run with no window borders so I can't move the window around
[03:46] <Angela_80085> cool, I will just wait, thanks kitche  :)
[03:46] <sgorilla80> im not able to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com

[03:47] <sgorilla80> rance1: are there backup mirrors for us?
[03:47] <kitche> !topic|sgorilla80
[03:47] <ubotu> sgorilla80: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[03:47] <the_burk> taan, how much ram?
[03:47] <sgorilla80> how much bandwidth do the us mirrors use?
[03:47] <rance1> I dont think so, you could edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the mirrors to uk or something like that
[03:47] <taan> burk, dont recall, either 2 or 4 gb
[03:47] <the_burk> sgorilla80, .. right now.. none.. :P
[03:48] <the_burk> taan, checked the logs for xorg?
[03:48] <kitche> sgorilla80: all the mirrors are the same pretty much
[03:48] <tiptip> littie question, when i write "glxinfo | grep rendering" it doesnt do anything just moving to the next line (same as pressing enter). does it mean i have a proglem with my video driver ?
[03:48] <sgorilla80> im going to use the canadians
[03:48] <rance1> just the timing of the sync so they all could be slightly different
[03:48] <sgorilla80> there servers are usually fast in the us
[03:48] <sgorilla80> *their
[03:48] <taan> burk, yes, i dont see anything that stands out, no big EE or something like that
[03:49] <Rug> Howdy all
[03:49] <sgorilla80> is there information on the web of why they went down?
[03:49] <adam> and after installing the compiz update running "glxinfo | grep rendering" reports that there is no direct rendering...what happened
[03:49] <rance1> if they are all down, its got to be a round-robin dns problem of some kind
[03:49] <kitche> sgorilla80: probably not but there has been a huge DoS attack on the internet
[03:50] <rance1> or a DoS attack

[03:57] <sc4ttrdbrain> sorry im not in ubuntu, but it was server edition dapper
[03:57] <Xenguy> I followed instructions that were supposed to install GRUB on to the new drive, but something is not working - the drive won't boot
[03:57] <taan> burk, "taan: has to check that out.." ... what do u mean?
[03:57] <Xenguy> Does anyone know GRUB well enough to help me fix this?
[03:57] <sc4ttrdbrain> Rug  sorry im not in ubuntu right now, but it was server edition dapper
[03:57] <adam> why does glxinfo report my vendor string as SGI instead of nvidia...and how can I fix that
[03:58] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: #1) include the persons name you are talking to.  #2) that doesn't matter.  #3) to find out type:  uname -r at the console.
[03:58] <tiptip> Haxality , here : https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html  they wrote it sould write "ok"
[03:58] <the_burk> taan, i need to check howto check the framebuffer... but what drivers are you using nvidias or nv?
[03:58] <taan> nvidia
[03:58] <the_burk> taan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[03:58] <lucas9000> anyone using 32 bit opera on edgy 6.10 amd64?
[03:58] <noelferreira> how can i change a partition permissions?
[03:58] <rance1> !opera
[03:58] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[03:58] <ciscosurfer> How can I get a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet Controller working?
[03:59] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: You need to install the kernel that matches your CPU to get it to work
[03:59] <jevangelo> why does add/remove... say that it's not authenticated
[03:59] <sc4ttrdbrain> Rug:  sorry,as i told u before, im on windows now(ubuntu is at home), the kernel is 2.6.17 (maybe)
[03:59] <jevangelo> it wont allow me to install anything anymore
[03:59] <taan> burk, that page only says howto install it, i want to confirm wheather or not it (direct fb) is working correctly
[04:00] <the_burk> taan: more orless do an sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg mark the nvidia and check the frameburrer
[04:00] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: ok, install the right kernel & everything will be fine
[04:00] <sc4ttrdbrain> Rug: :so what to do , coz im sure i have the right kernel
[04:00] <jspiro> hi all, what is the usual procedure for creating PDF files from Ubuntu apps?
[04:00] <lucas9000> i installed opera, but when i click on it in applications>internet nothing happens...any suggestions?
[04:00] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: one sec.  Let me check
[04:00] <Lupper> is anyone else having trouble accessing us.archive.ubuntu.com?  it seems to be down
[04:00] <ciscosurfer> Lupper: it is
[04:00] <jspiro> lucas9000, use firefox or konqueror :)
[04:00] <kitche> lucas9000: try starting it from command line
[04:01] <Lupper> ciscosurfer: thanks.  any ETA on when it's gonna be back up?
[04:01] <the_burk> taan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and make sure the use kernel framebuffer is marked
[04:01] <ciscosurfer> Lupper: change to a different mirror or simply delete the "us." part
[04:01] <ciscosurfer> Lupper: no clue
[04:01] <lucas9000> jspiro: i usually use firefox, but i'm trying out opera to see if flash will actually work :)
[04:01] <jspiro> lucas9000, so just ask for help on fixing flash.
[04:01] <lucas9000> kitche: i'm enough of a n00b to not know how to do that
[04:01] <taan> ok, gonna try that now
[04:01] <Lupper> ciscosurfer: so i can just change my sources.list and synaptic should pull down the package i need?
[04:01] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: do:  sudo apt-cache search 2.6.15-27-686  that will show you the kernel you need.
[04:01] <kitche> lucas9000: open up a console and type opera should output the error
[04:01] <misterph3r> How come I don't have an xorg.conf file? :[
[04:01] <lucas9000> kitche: ok will do brb
[04:02] <ciscosurfer> Lupper: yes.  you might find this page handy: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:02] <Lupper> ciscosurfer: thanks
[04:02] <bimberi> misterph3r: where are you looking?
[04:02] <ciscosurfer> Lupper: sure
[04:02] <sc4ttrdbrain> Rug: what do you mean  the right kernel, its the default kernel from ubuntu(i think).Ok i ll try that when i get to ubuntu, but is there any config file sor sumthing?
[04:02] <misterph3r> bimberi: /etc/X11/
[04:02] <lucas9000> kitche: here's what i got: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[04:02] <lucas9000> ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

[04:02] <ciscosurfer> Does anyone know how can I get a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet Controller working?
[04:02] <Dial_tone> is there any sort of gnome macro recorder applet? where I can use a few keystrokes to type an address or something?
[04:03] <kitche> !paste|lucas9000
[04:03] <ubotu> lucas9000: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:03] <kitche> lucas9000: your missing some dependencies
[04:03] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: nope, just install the correct kernel for your hardware and HT should/will work for you.  Nothing else to edit
[04:03] <lucas9000> i will use pastebin next time sorry about that
[04:03] <sc4ttrdbrain> Rug: :thenks
[04:03] <ArrenLex> ciscosurfer: It wasn't automatically detected at install? That is surprising.
[04:03] <Rug> sc4ttrdbrain: np
[04:03] <bimberi> misterph3r: that's the right place, sorry no idea
[04:03] <sycho> Anyone know is how I can set Pan Newsreader up to download (save attachments) more then 1 file at a time?
[04:03] <lucas9000> kitche: do i just look for the ones mentioned in the error message in synaptic?
[04:03] <misterph3r> bimberi: Alright, thanks.
[04:04] <g0tw00d> is it possible to install ssh server?  I have tried apt-get install openssh-server, which is what I was told.....
[04:04] <bimberi> misterph3r: what version of Ubuntu?
[04:04] <ciscosurfer> I'm asking for a friend who is having this problem....coincidentally, I also have this NIC but I use another one that's installed b/c it works insead of the Marvel one
[04:04] <g0tw00d> it says it isnt avaiable
[04:04] <misterph3r> How can I check if Ubuntu was installed properely?
[04:04] <kitche> lucas9000: yes the libjvm is for java
[04:04] <bimberi> g0tw00d: put your sources.list on a pastebin
[04:04] <ciscosurfer> ArrenLex: I'm asking for a friend who is having this problem....coincidentally, I also have this NIC but I use another one that's installed b/c it works insead of the Marvel one
[04:04] <g0tw00d> and list openssh-client and ssh-askpass-gnome
[04:04] <taan> burk, should i include v4l module ?
[04:04] <misterph3r> bimberi: I'm not sure, how can I check?
[04:04] <lucas9000> kitche: ok i will try that brb...thanks
[04:04] <ethos> Can anybody tell me how I would go about applying this patch? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3switch#Bugs.2FCaveats
[04:04] <ciscosurfer> ArronLex: and no, it doesn't get recognized.  This is also a problem in some other distros I've heard
[04:04] <bimberi> !version | misterph3r
[04:04] <ubotu> misterph3r: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[04:05] <ArrenLex> ciscosurfer: I have a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller and it WorksForMe(tm).
[04:05] <ciscosurfer> ArronLex: really.  that's interesting.
[04:05] <the_burk> taan if your not using any video camcorders or something.. you should probably not need it..
[04:05] <jspiro> anyone here can walk misterph3r thru the use of cruft(1)?
[04:05] <x-r00t-x> !automatix
[04:05] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:05] <misterph3r> Release is 4.10
[04:05] <kitche> misterph3r: you mean 6.10?
[04:05] <bimberi> misterph3r: you have warty, which used xfree86 and not xorg
[04:05] <bimberi> *uses
[04:05] <jevangelo> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[04:05] <bimberi> :)
[04:06] <lucas9000> kitche: can't find libjvm.so in synaptic
[04:06] <jevangelo> i cant install anything
[04:06] <taan> burk, i though it is used for output of video, for vlc, no?
[04:06] <the_burk> !worksforme
[04:06] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[04:06] <ciscosurfer> ArrenLex: It's been a while since I've tried using the Marvell NIC so maybe it'll work now...I'll tell my friend to give it go again.
[04:06] <jspiro> misterph3r, is your computer messed up?
[04:06] <kitche> !java|lucas9000
[04:06] <ubotu> lucas9000: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[04:06] <mash> jevangelo: is it ok to use archive.ubuntu.com instead?
[04:06] <misterph3r> bimbri: I can't get 6.10 to install I get a dbus error.
[04:06] <kitche> lucas9000: you want sun-java5-jre
[04:06] <jspiro> misterph3r, which error?
[04:06] <kitche> jevangelo: yeah we know it's even in the topic
[04:06] <jevangelo> oh
[04:06] <lucas9000> kitche: i already have that installed
[04:06] <noelferreira> hi people hi want to mount a partition with permissons for all users
[04:07] <jevangelo> i thought something was wrong with my box
[04:07] <mash> kitche: is it ok to use archive.ubuntu.com instead?
[04:07] <noelferreira> how can i do that?
[04:07] <bimberi> misterph3r: have you tried the alternate CD?
[04:07] <Moosejaw> hi all
[04:07] <jspiro> hi all, what is the usual procedure for creating PDF files from Ubuntu apps?
[04:07] <Moosejaw> i am so happy i switched from windows to ubuntu!!!
[04:07] <kitche> mash: yeah or use ca.archieve.ubuntu.com
[04:07] <ciscosurfer> ArrenLex: actually mine is a  Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8050 PCI-E ASF Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 17)
[04:07] <mash> thanks.
[04:07] <misterph3r> jspiro: It usally just freezes, let me look.
[04:07] <KeeganX> If I use another repo will it work in automatix?
[04:07] <Wonderl00t> Hello everyone! a silly question from a 'nix n00b, where do i find the binaries or executables for installed packages?
[04:07] <Moosejaw> can anyone tell me if my laptop gfx card, radeon x1400 works with compiz/xgl?
[04:08] <jevangelo> i went from gentoo to ubuntu
[04:08] <ArrenLex> ciscosurfer: *shrug* I guess I just got lucky.
[04:08] <misterph3r> bimberi: The alternate is a live CD. Is it possible to just upgrade to 6.10.
[04:08] <ArrenLex> jevangelo: Good choice. Life is too short to run gentoo.
[04:08] <cwmajors> Keegan - you won't get support for automatix here...
[04:08] <jspiro> Moosejaw, which package?
[04:08] <jevangelo> hah
[04:08] <jspiro> oops
[04:08] <jspiro> Wonderl00t, which package?
[04:08] <strabes>  Moosejaw:  yes x1400 works with XGL, not AIGLX
[04:08] <Moosejaw> hrm...
[04:08] <mash> i have had problems with stability of x since my upgrade to edgy eft
[04:08] <ciscosurfer> ArrenLex: I'm checking some pages on the Net right now to confirm that this is actually a problem people are having
[04:08] <jevangelo> unless you just absolutely love to spend your free time compiling source
[04:08] <Moosejaw> i tried setting up the xgl
[04:08] <g0tw00d> bimberi: pastebin seems to be down
[04:08] <strabes>  Moosejaw:  I would recommend using BERYL though
[04:08] <Moosejaw> but dont think i didt it right
[04:08] <Moosejaw> ahh
[04:08] <strabes> Moosejaw: wiki.beryl-project.org
[04:08] <Moosejaw> i also tried beryl...but is it an alternative to gnome?
[04:09] <mash> was totally stable under drake.  now i get unexplained crashes (seemingly random).  keyboard, mouse both dead.
[04:09] <kitche> Moosejaw: beryl is an alternative to compiz
[04:09] <Moosejaw> ok...
[04:09] <Moosejaw> it seems when i tried to choose beryl, it didnt work
[04:09] <strabes> Moosejaw: no, it's the newer _better_ fork of compiz
[04:09] <jspiro> mash, so don't use edgy :)
[04:09] <bimberi> misterph3r: it would be better to install 6.10 from scratch, using its alternate cd which has the text-mode installer
[04:09] <Moosejaw> so i will try to reinstall i guess
[04:09] <strabes> Moosejaw: then you didn't do it correctly :)
[04:09] <mash> jspiro: is there any easy retreat?
[04:09] <strabes> Moosejaw: glad to hear it
[04:09] <bimberi> g0tw00d: how about pastebin.ca
[04:09] <bimberi> ?
[04:09] <g0tw00d> let me check
[04:09] <kitche> strabes: well in reality its the only fork of compiz to have existed so far :)
[04:09] <jspiro> mash, a reinstall takes 15 to 60 min. Or ask for help diagnosing the problem.
[04:09] <Moosejaw> thanks guys
[04:10] <jspiro> Wonderl00t, which package?
[04:10] <Moosejaw> where is the best tutorial for beryl and my card?
[04:10] <the_burk> taan: i use vlc and no v4l
[04:10] <strabes> kitche: yeah i know, i meant it's a fork of compiz and it's better
[04:10] <Wonderl00t> jspiro: audacity
[04:10] <lucas9000> i guess i'll try to get flash working in firefox...thanks guys
[04:10] <jspiro> Wonderl00t, dpkg -L audacity
[04:10] <strabes> Moosejaw: wiki.beryl-project.org
[04:10] <jspiro> Wonderl00t, but why do you want to know?
[04:10] <Wonderl00t> jspiro: thanks
[04:10] <mash> jspiro: help diagnosing?  thanks.  what would be useful info to share?
[04:10] <strabes> Moosejaw: also, the only driver that supports the x1400 is FGLRX
[04:10] <once375ml> join #ubuntu-cn
[04:10] <Moosejaw> strabes thanks for all your help
[04:10] <jevangelo> are there any mirrors for the us repositories
[04:10] <g0tw00d> bimberi: pastebin.ca/266432
[04:10] <jspiro> mash, dunno. tell the channel all your symptoms
[04:10] <jevangelo> or is there just that one
[04:10] <Moosejaw> hrm...
[04:10] <strabes> Moosejaw: np that's what i'm here for
[04:10] <Moosejaw> ok
[04:11] <Wonderl00t> im a musician experimenting with linux audio and using rosegarden. i need to set audacity as the "audio" editor
[04:11] <misterph3r> bimberi: Thanks.
[04:11] <Moosejaw> what does the driver thing mean?
[04:11] <kitche> jevangelo: all the mirrors are the same actually
[04:11] <Moosejaw> dont change drivers?
[04:11] <Wonderl00t> jspiro: im a musician experimenting with linux audio and using rosegarden. i need to set audacity as the "audio" editor
[04:11] <KeeganX> So is ca.archive.ubuntu.com just the same as the us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[04:11] <x-r00t-x> is GStreamer codecs are good ???
[04:11] <Rug> jevangelo: just change it to archive.  (remove the us. )
[04:11] <kitche> jevangelo: so use ca.archieve.ubuntu.com or the main one
[04:11] <strabes> x-r00t-x: yes they're good
[04:11] <jevangelo> its ok
[04:11] <jspiro> Wonderl00t, dunno. try asking the whole channel again, or try http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[04:12] <jspiro> all, what is the usual procedure for creating PDF files from Ubuntu apps?
[04:12] <ArrenLex> KeeganX: It's a different mirror for the same content.
[04:12] <Rug> jspiro: what apps?
[04:12] <mash> Any tips for this:  I have occasional, random freezes in edgy eft.   mouse and keyboard go dead, can't use alt-ctrl-backspace to  restart xwindows, can't use alt-ctrl-delete to reboot, with some of the crashes, can't ssh in from another box on the home network ("Host down").
[04:12] <ethos> Can anybody tell me how I would go about applying this patch? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3switch#Bugs.2FCaveats
[04:12] <strabes> jspiro: openoffice writer has that capability built in
[04:12] <jspiro> Rug, Dia for example
[04:12] <KeeganX> Right on, as long as it's the same stuff I'm fine with it
[04:12] <noelferreira> hi people
[04:12] <Moosejaw> strabes: so i should keep the current driver i am using?
[04:12] <x-r00t-x> thank you strabes but what about the sound quality ?
[04:12] <Wonderl00t> thanks jspiro
[04:12] <bimberi> g0tw00d: looks ok.  have you done a 'sudo apt-get update' recently?
[04:12] <mash> Can't identify a precipitating condition or  incident.  Just crash.
[04:12] <g0tw00d> nope
[04:13] <noelferreira> hi want to mount an ext3 partition with permissons for all users. how i do that?
[04:13] <malt> anyone here use a D LINK router? I run a ubuntu server, and my router finally died so i got a d link, and when i go to status the release and renew is blanked out why?
[04:13] <strabes> Moosejaw: if that driver is fglrx, yes. if not then you should install fglrx, it's really easy to do. see this link for how to do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:13] <jspiro> mash, dunno. try asking again in 2 min, or try www.ubuntuforums.org
[04:13] <cwmajors> jspiro : I think cups-pdf is the package you want to install.
[04:13] <Rug> jspiro: 2 methods:  select the "create pdf" in the print menu.  or print to PostScript and then convert it.
[04:13] <strabes> x-r00t-x: good as far as I can tell
[04:13] <jspiro> cwmajors, ok thanks
[04:13] <Moosejaw> i have the fglrx installed already
[04:13] <fiendskull9> HELLO
[04:14] <Rug> fiendskull9: stop yelling
[04:14] <g0tw00d> bimberi:i get a bunch of errors want an output?
[04:14] <adam> please...nobody seems to want to help me...ever since compiz updated yesterday 3d performance has been slow and direct rendering is being reported not on...Nvidia drivers and XGL/Compiz are correctly installed...but the glxinfo reports my vendor string is now SGI...what's wrong??
[04:14] <fiendskull9> my ubuntu-server install is having problems
[04:14] <jspiro> fiendskull9, hello, please don't use all caps
[04:14] <strabes> x-r00t-x: i don't have a hi-def sound card anyway so it doesn't matter
[04:14] <ArrenLex> Moosejaw: fglrx is notoriously buggy. It may be causing your freezes.
[04:14] <fiendskull9> sorry, my caps lock was on
[04:14] <fiendskull9> anyway
[04:14] <Moosejaw> so should i install xgl or aiglx?
[04:14] <x-r00t-x> strabes,  thank you dude :P
[04:14] <strabes> ArrenLex: he has an X1400 he has no choice
[04:14] <Rug> Moosejaw: no
[04:14] <strabes> x-r00t-x: np
[04:14] <Moosejaw> i dont have freezes.
[04:14] <fiendskull9> ive checked my resolv.conf, and messed with ifconfig
[04:14] <fiendskull9> but i my server wont resolve any hosts
[04:14] <mash> I am fully up to date, etc.  I have looked at /var/log/messages, etc.  The only cluse is "ProcXCloseDevice to close or not ?" may appear in Xorg.0.log shortly before the crashes.  What does that line mean?
[04:14] <kitche> adam: if it says sGI then your not using the nvidia drivers
[04:15] <ArrenLex> Moosejaw: wait, mixed up to conversations, ignore me :)
[04:15] <tim167> what's the unix command for "copy every file in a folder+subfolders if it has a certain extention" ?
[04:15] <ArrenLex> Sorry.
[04:15] <adam> well then what's the correct tutorial to RE-install nvidia drivers under edgy...there seems to be too many conflicting tutorials
[04:15] <cwmajors> OK, I am having trouble getting Ubuntu to run on my main system (it
[04:15] <x-r00t-x> strabes,  can you check this site for me . http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/prodotti/kxdocker/main.php?action=download
[04:15] <Moosejaw> np
[04:15] <ArrenLex> to -> two
[04:15] <x-r00t-x> strabes,  i just wanna make sure its works or not :-S
[04:15] <Moosejaw> So with fglrx should I install xgl or aiglx?
[04:15] <kitche> adam: just do sudo nvidia-glx-config enable then restart X/XGL
[04:15] <Rug> tim167: cp *.abc /path/to/send
[04:15] <noelferreira> please help! i want to mount a ext3 partition with pemissions for all users. HOW?
[04:15] <adam> kitche I've tried that it does nothing
[04:15] <kitche> Moosejaw: with fglrx only xgl will support it
[04:16] <ArrenLex> noelferreria: how are you trying to mount it right now?
[04:16] <strabes> Moosejaw: you have to use XGL
[04:16] <Moosejaw> ok
[04:16] <Moosejaw> thanks guys
[04:16] <strabes> x-r00t-x: the site appears for me
[04:16] <jspiro> tim167, find . -iname '*.abc' -exec cp {} /folder \;

[04:16] <AngryElf> so, I installed beryl and xserver-xgl and it was working all fine and dandy and after a reboot I now can't get into my old gnome session, any ideas?
[04:16] <tim167> jspiro, Rug: thanks ill try those
[04:17] <ethos> Can anybody tell me how I would go about applying this patch? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3switch#Bugs.2FCaveats   |  Or at least point me in the right direction?
[04:17] <jspiro> tim167, if it fails, ask us here or ask channel #bash

[04:17] <taan> burk, well hard to tell, menus seem a bit snappier, gksudo is faster but now has annoying screen reflash. the test program still maxes out at 68 fps, win32 maxed at 200... so something is fishy still
[04:17] <ethos> Do I need to compile something?
[04:18] <moiqou> what is the command for seeing what dependencies a program haves for it to be able to execute? I have forgot...
[04:18] <bimberi> g0tw00d: yuk, i've seen those "Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" messages a few times.  Sometimes running it again fixes it
[04:18] <adam> kitche I just tried it again I ran that command with the enable option and restarted x and still it's reporting SGI
[04:19] <adam> it was all working before the compiz update yesterday
[04:19] <taan> burk, resizing of windows under vmware still seems faster that on the host :(
[04:20] <cwmajors> Let me try again since I can't type: I am having trouble getting the Live CD to work on one of my computers. I get the orange "pong" bar for a while, then nothing but a flashing cursor at top left. Can anyone help troubleshoot this with me?
[04:20] <degantyll> taan, what window manager?

[04:21] <ubotu> lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[04:21] <degantyll> that's enough for me to /ignore him

[04:21] <tritio> Chavez winner
[04:21] <xarq> how do I change my keymap to dvorak? loadkeys dvorak.map (from /usr/share doesn't appear to change the keymap even though it doesn't report any errors)
[04:21] <degantyll> taan, check  glxinfo | grep direct
[04:22] <taan> direct rendering: Yes
[04:22] <degantyll> hmm
[04:22] <taan> degantyll, does gtk sync to video refresh?
[04:22] <degantyll> how are you measuring FPS?
[04:23] <degantyll> taan, it might, try a game
[04:23] <adam> argh why is SGI still being reported as my vendor string
[04:23] <degantyll> taan, your driver is correctly configured
[04:23] <taan> degantyll, i wrote a small gtk test
[04:23] <taan> can paste it somewhere
[04:23] <noelferreira> please help! i want to mount a ext3 partition with pemissions for all users. HOW?
[04:24] <degantyll> taan, no don't bother, I'm no coder
[04:24] <noelferreira> sorry Firefishe
[04:24] <noelferreira> can you help me
[04:24] <noelferreira> ?
[04:24] <degantyll> taan, just a year and a half linux user
[04:24] <Moodles> I'm using EXT3 on all my harddrives. What commands should I be using to do a scan of the filesystem (fsck I think) and to scan the entire harddrive itself (i dont know what to use) ?
[04:24] <noelferreira> i thought i was disconected
[04:24] <taan> driver config, is default, just did a dpkg reconfigure
[04:24] <degantyll> Moodles, first of all, the root filesystem must be checked offline, and all the others must be checked umounted
[04:24] <jspiro> Moodles, use fsck -a when unmounted
[04:24] <jspiro> for more info http://wikipedia.org/wiki/fsck
[04:25] <degantyll> taan, try Option "RenderAccel" "true" on Xorg.conf
[04:25] <degantyll> this one: Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
[04:25] <jspiro> noelferreira, if nobody helps you, try www.google.com or www.ubuntuforums.org or http://help.ubuntu.com
[04:25] <taan> degantyll, i noticed that vlc performance is slow and image quality is not as good, does that give a hint ?
[04:25] <noelferreira> of course i tried it before jspiro
[04:26] <jspiro> noelferreira, try the forums.
[04:26] <jspiro> search them i guess.
[04:26] <cwmajors> Could someone help me troubleshoot why the live CD fails to boot up Ubuntu on one of my computers?
[04:27] <taan> degantyll, Option      "RenderAccel" "true", which section does go to?
[04:27] <degantyll> taan, oh yeah sorry, under Section "Device"
[04:28] <taan> ok, let me check, xorg.log before i rekill x
[04:28] <degantyll> allright
[04:28] <Yggdrasil> can somone tell me how to manual start hald ? /etc/init.d/hald start ?
[04:28] <TSWoodV> ETA for US repos back online?
[04:28] <kitche> TSWoodV: no
[04:29] <TSWoodV> What happened?  DDOS? Crash?
[04:29] <jspiro> someone should redirect the DNS entry.
[04:29] <Moodles> jspiro degantyll: how do I do a physical scan for errors on the harddrive itself?
[04:29] <jspiro> Moodles, badblocks
[04:29] <taan> got warnings about pointer device that i dont have (dpkg added it) and this one: (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseFBDev" is not used
[04:29] <kitche> jspiro: why it will take hours to get to everyone
[04:29] <degantyll> Moodles, run fsck with the -c options
[04:29] <TSWoodV> jspiro, that would have been nice.
[04:29] <DPackrat> Is there a reason why multimedia keys work in Totem but not in xmms?
[04:29] <jspiro> kitche, but that's better than nothing :)
[04:30] <degantyll> taan, try commenting it
[04:30] <degantyll> Moodles, run badblock from fsck.ext3 with the parameter -c. Running badblocks standalone is not recommended if you don't know what you are doing
[04:30] <degantyll> (says in the manual)
[04:31] <degantyll> man fsck.ext3 and man badblocks
[04:31] <jspiro> Moodles, what degantyll said
[04:32] <taan> is there way to kill X without killing the apps in the session ?
[04:32] <kitche> taan: not really
[04:32] <degantyll> taan, hm you could try Xnest but I don't know if it'd apply the new setting fully
[04:32] <taan> yeah, i thought so, just thought i check
[04:33] <nostradaemons> it does not works :)
[04:33] <Vodan> Hey guys, when i try to boot from the live cd I get a garbled box when the gui opens, so I installed from the alternative cd, and when it boots up I get the same exact thing, here's a pic  http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/2395/imgp1478vt2.jpg
[04:33] <minerale> how do I run .desktop files  from the command line ?
[04:33] <kitche> Vodan: you have to configure X
[04:33] <nu> Anyone have time to help me with php/apache?
[04:33] <Vodan> sorry, i'm a windows whore, how would I go about this?
[04:33] <SuperQ> Vodan: what video card do you have?
[04:33] <Vodan> 7800gt
[04:34] <SuperQ> Vodan: nvidia?
[04:34] <mash> OK, I am looking for other people who have had random freezes, crashes, of X using ubuntu.  For example, I think that this comment https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/30447/comments/97 is in the wrong place.  It's actually the problem I'm having.
[04:34] <Vodan> yeah
[04:34] <kitche> Vodan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then input your user password and hit enter
[04:34] <Yggdrasil> anyone know how to get this hald restarted ? something messed heree.
[04:34] <SuperQ> kitche: no
[04:34] <mash> Is there any point in reinstalling X?  Again, my problem is random crashes after some period of use.
[04:34] <SuperQ> kitche: he probably needs nvidia-glx
[04:34] <Moodles> degantyll: to take the root filesystem offline, I'm guessing I can't use recovery mode from grub boot.. i need to boot from a linux cd with the tools?
[04:34] <SuperQ> Vodan: one sec, let me get you a howto
[04:34] <kitche> SuperQ: umm why it will work with nv driver
[04:34] <Vodan> SuperQ: k, thanks
[04:35] <degantyll> Moodles, you are right
[04:35] <nostradaemons> yo guys, my ubuntu crashes after I ctrl+alt+backspace my X server, any ideas?
[04:35] <SuperQ> kitche: because nv sucks ;)
[04:35] <GenNMX> mash: Sure, if you want more random crashes, hehe. Anyway, I'd look at hardware. Get the Ultimate Boot CD and run some hardware tests -- memory and hardrive at least.
[04:35] <jspiro> nostradaemons, don't press c+a+bksp :)
[04:36] <nostradaemons> jspiro, tho the same, but it just caucht my attention :)
[04:36] <Vodan> SuperQ: thanks
[04:36] <Yggdrasil> nostradaemons  is it an intel ?
[04:36] <mash> GenNMX: thanks for the advice.  what should i be looking for?  again, this problem developed after i went from dapper to edgy.  i had a totally stable dapper.
[04:36] <nostradaemons> s/caucht/caught
[04:36] <nostradaemons> yep
[04:36] <jspiro> nostradaemons, if you find the cause, feel free to file a bug report. :)
[04:36] <nostradaemons> toshiba notebook, intel video
[04:36] <GenNMX> mash: Did it happen immediatly after Edgy?
[04:36] <b0ss_> if i type something in nano how would i save like i wanted to edit the source.list how would i save it
[04:37] <b0ss_> need to as repos
[04:37] <mash> yes, it started within a day or two of the edgy install.
[04:37] <lucas9000> ok i'm trying to get flash to work with firefox 2 on edgy 6.10 amd64
[04:37] <Yggdrasil> nostradaemons i have the same problem with my laptop and its actualy a driver issue
[04:37] <lucas9000> i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35241/
[04:37] <nostradaemons> toshiba?
[04:37] <GenNMX> mash: Then I would say it has something to do with Edgy. Do you have a seperate home partition? Might be faster just to install Edgy from scratch.
[04:37] <kitche> SuperQ: I just looked at the image nad it does seem like a driver issue but nv should have worked fine
[04:37] <Yggdrasil> i bet you can replicate it by doing ctrl-alt -f1
[04:37] <nostradaemons> Yggdrasil, toshiba  notebook?
[04:38] <taan> is there option to make glxgears to print FPS?
[04:38] <kitche> lucas9000: well flash doesn't work on x86_64 system
[04:38] <mash> GenNMX: I can backup to external HD, then reinstall.  you think not much hope for a fix on the current system?  I have been trhough lots of logs.
[04:38] <SuperQ> taan: it used to, I don't know why it doesn't anymore
[04:38] <timm_> what is your name
[04:38] <kitche> taan: you need to use a switch to do it
[04:38] <cwmajors> mash - I have seen the same thing as you're reporting- random crashes after upgrading from dapper->edgy. They seem to have stopped after a couple of days, though- I've been stable for a week now. YMMV.
[04:38] <nostradaemons> Yggdrasil, ctrl-alt-f1 wont crash my x
[04:38] <lucas9000> kitche: i was following these instructions: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290785&highlight=flash+edgy+64
[04:38] <blameless> taan: glxgears -printfps
[04:38] <Yggdrasil> no
[04:39] <Yggdrasil> nostradaemons do it a few times and the back into f8
[04:39] <SuperQ> blameless: oh.. thanks!
[04:39] <Vodan> ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't even do anything super
[04:39] <Yggdrasil> because i can make mine crash safter switchen around fora bit.
[04:39] <taan> blameless, that works !!! wonder why it does not say it in the inline help
[04:39] <SuperQ> Vodan: oh.. weird
[04:39] <mash> cwmajors:  please tell me more.  are there any sites that discuss the problem?
[04:39] <blameless> SuperQ: i think it doesn't do it anymore as they don't want it used as a benchmark
[04:39] <SuperQ> Vodan: you will have to boot to recovery mode then
[04:39] <Yggdrasil> well its switching it beetween x and console mode , i htink thats where the problem is
[04:39] <SuperQ> blameless: yea
[04:39] <nostradaemons> no no
[04:39] <Vodan> which is in grub right?
[04:39] <Yggdrasil> nonono
[04:39] <mash> the randomness makes it really hard to track down.
[04:39] <Yggdrasil> ok then i dont know
[04:39] <SuperQ> Vodan: correct
[04:40] <Vodan> k brb
[04:40] <SuperQ> Vodan: oh..
[04:40] <cwmajors> Not that I found. I couldn't find a way to report it other than " hay my computer crashes sometimes when I do stuff", so I didn't report it. :)
[04:40] <SuperQ> Vodan: you can just type exit after running those two commands
[04:40] <taan> so glxgears give me 108.391 FPS for fullscreen (1680x1050), is that good/bad/ok performance-wise?
[04:41] <lucas9000> kitche: are you saying there's no way to get flash working on a 64-bit os?
[04:41] <kitche> taan: well considering that glxgears usn't a benchmark
[04:41] <blameless> taan: resolution shouldn't matter too much.  glxgears should be in a static window
[04:41] <mash> the crashes got pretty frequent this afternoon, T+1 week after the edgy install.  I switched to KDE and have had zero crashes in the past four hours.
[04:41] <kitche> lucas9000: well you have to have a multilib system
[04:41] <SuperQ> lucas9000: there are ways
[04:41] <stelt> anybody here experience with multiple monitors?
[04:41] <mash> I don't mind staying with kde (i slightly prefer gnome)
[04:41] <SuperQ> lucas9000: but mostly a pain in the ass to setup
[04:41] <SuperQ> lucas9000: #1: install 32bit firefox
[04:41] <blameless> taan: that said, that would seem to be a bit slow
[04:41] <lucas9000> superq: yeah i'm finding that out
[04:41] <mash> yes, i can help with multiple monitors if you are using nvidia.
[04:41] <taan> blameless what do you mean static window?
[04:42] <SuperQ> lucas9000: #2: install the 64-32bit firefox wrapper module
[04:42] <mash> stelt?
[04:42] <taan> blameless i can move and resize
[04:42] <blameless> taan: oh yeah
[04:42] <josue_> holA
[04:42] <nostradaemons> just for the record, any bonnie expert in the house?
[04:42] <blameless> taan: but if you change the size, we really wouldn't have a clue
[04:42] <blameless> taan: for real benchmarking, i'd use ioquake3 assuming you own the game
[04:42] <stelt> mash, a matrox dualhead card on AGP, plus some ancient PCI card
[04:42] <lucas9000> superq: like this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[04:42] <blameless> taan: what card is this?
[04:42] <mash> stelt,  i may still be able to help
[04:43] <mash> try the instructions at the following website.  i will get back in one minute after i check my email.
[04:43] <taan> well, that's why i specified the size: full screen 1680x1050. card nvidia 5200 FX
[04:43] <SuperQ> lucas9000: yea.. the firefox32 deb would work
[04:43] <SuperQ> lucas9000: if you want 64bit firefox: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/
[04:43] <blameless> taan: those cards tend to be a bit underpowered but if you're not planning on playing doom3 you're fine :)
[04:44] <taan> 0000:03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]  (rev a1)
[04:44] <blameless> yes, i have one of those in the computer i'm junking for christmas :)
[04:44] <lucas9000> superq: isn't that what this is supposed to do? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290785&highlight=flash+edgy+64
[04:44] <lucas9000> (meaning using nspluginwrapper)
[04:45] <SuperQ> lucas9000: yea
[04:45] <mash> stelt: these directions are from the nvidia website, but they are generic multiple monitor directions http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9742/README/appendix-p.html
[04:45] <degantyll> heh
[04:45] <degantyll> damn ISPs
[04:45] <lucas9000> superq: maybe i'll just try the 32 bit firefox because i followed the instructions in that nspluginwrapper thread and it's not working
[04:45] <degantyll> so taan did it work?
[04:45] <mash> note: these are NOT TwinView (nVidia-specific) instructions.  these are generic multiple monitor instructions.
[04:45] <Vodan> it tells me to put in my disk and press enter, but my disk is already in
[04:45] <Moodles> I run fsck -a on a filesystem, yet it finishs straight away (250-320gb harddrives).. is it normal: "/dev/sdb1: clean, 2309/30539776 files, 56735192/61049000 blocks"
[04:46] <lucas9000> how can i go back and basically "undo" the stuff that didn't turn out to work?
[04:46] <SuperQ> lucas9000: yea.. I've never gotten nspluginwrapper to work either ;)
[04:46] <SuperQ> lucas9000: but I havn't tried it in a year
[04:46] <lucas9000> or is that even necessary?
[04:46] <Vodan> super
[04:46] <degantyll> Moodles, they are marked as clean, so the program skips them, try using -f to force it to check the filesystem even if marked clean
[04:46] <SuperQ> lucas9000: just keep track of which packages you installed
[04:46] <SuperQ> Vodan: yo
[04:46] <taan> blameless, yeah, i know what u mean, though i'd like to  have this setup working for some time. (hey if you dont need the card, i could use another 5200 pci one)
[04:46] <SuperQ> lucas9000: and apt-get --purge remove
[04:46] <Vodan> it tells me to put in my cd, but its already in
[04:46] <Moodles> degantyll: ah thanks
[04:46] <SuperQ> Vodan: oh
[04:47] <degantyll> Moodles, welcome :)
[04:47] <SuperQ> Vodan: yea.. slightly anoying
[04:47] <SuperQ> Vodan: you can remove the CD
[04:47] <lucas9000> superq: so, for example, apt-get --purge remove nspluginwrapper ?
[04:47] <SuperQ> Vodan: the problem is it's not auto-mounting in recovery mode
[04:47] <blameless> taan: i believe its going to my future sister-in-law as she needs a machine heh
[04:47] <SuperQ> lucas9000: yea
[04:47] <Vodan> how do i mount it?
[04:47] <taan> degantyll, seems an improvement, menu seems a bit snappier. though benchmack still shows the same
[04:47] <SuperQ> Vodan: mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[04:48] <lucas9000> ok thanks superq and kitche...back to the battle
[04:48] <Vodan> thanks
[04:48] <SuperQ> Vodan: the other option is to remove the CD from the sources.list
[04:48] <Lovloss> Why is it that blender renders animations faster in xp than it does in Ubuntu? It takes forever :( And it says its allocating less memory towards the animation
[04:48] <SuperQ> Vodan: and pull all updates from the internet
[04:48] <taan> but hey, anybody want to run the benchmark (source is available, too, 1 page gtkmm)?
[04:48] <invitado> hello everyone
[04:49] <Vodan> i'd probably need to config my tcp/ip settings and stuff, so i'll takethe first route
[04:49] <SuperQ> Vodan: you can "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and put a # infront of the "deb cdrom://..." line
[04:49] <Vodan> brb
[04:49] <degantyll> taan, oh, try googling it
[04:49] <SuperQ> Vodan: it should do that by default
[04:49] <invitado> rigth
[04:49] <taan> degantyll, sorry, googling what?
[04:49] <invitado> hello !!!!
[04:50] <SuperQ> invitado: HI!
[04:50] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: I don't use blender so I am just generally troubleshooting but, Does Blender use the video card when rendering, and/or Do you have a Dual Core Processor?
[04:50] <aciid_trojan> how do i install a C compiler on ubuntu server
[04:50] <degantyll> taan, the perfomance issue
[04:50] <stelt> mash, bookmarked it. I'll shall Google on "create device", probably meaning editing some conf file (i'm a Windows user)
[04:50] <bimberi> aciid_trojan: install build-essential
[04:50] <degantyll> taan, you should also try a game, see how it runs
[04:50] <RancidLM> hey all a little off topic but i would like to use my monitor with my video game console and would like to have streaming video to a window... is a) there any delay time b) possible with a hauppauge capture card?
[04:50] <Lovloss> Jordan_U not entirely sure, but it shouldnt matter. It rendered faster on my computer at work, and its a 20 gig, 250RAM computer with only a basic video card
[04:51] <taan> deantyll, is it free ?
[04:51] <bthornton> When I connect my external USB hard drive to my Ubuntu machine, it automagically mounts it (which is what I want)--but it mounts it read-only.  Where can I modify the default permissions for mounted USB devices?
[04:51] <degantyll> taan, google is a search website. About the games, a free one would be gl-117
[04:51] <x-r00t-x> strabes,  wow i installed those codecs
[04:51] <x-r00t-x> and great sound :D
[04:51] <x-r00t-x> sup SuperQ  :D
[04:52] <aciid_trojan> bimberi: thank you
[04:52] <blameless> taan: tenebrous is also free and uses the quake 3 engine
[04:52] <SuperQ> x-r00t-x: surfing the web, digesting dinner
[04:52] <Vodan> super, it installs the nvidia-glx, but when i tryp to enable the config, it says its not there, but if i do the apt-get for the glx again, it says its up to date
[04:52] <SuperQ> Vodan: hrm
[04:52] <strabes> x-r00t-x: sweet i'm glad
[04:52] <Lovloss> perhaps i installed beryl incorrectly and its hurting my speed?
[04:52] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: Whell it could if you use an ATI card ( horrible drivers ) or are using an Nvidia card without nvidea-glx, that is if Blender ises the video card when rendering.
[04:52] <Lovloss> im in nvidia, and i have invidia-glx
[04:53] <craigbass1976> Is there a documet somewhere that explains how ubuntu handles the sudo, both in a command line and in the gui.  Coming from another linux, I'm kind of confused.  I'm not sure what's happening when I give another user priveledges in the GUI (modem, administrative, etc...)
[04:53] <kitche> Vodan: you did sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

[04:53] <ubotu> craigbass1976: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").  I've had no problems with it, but we're not supposed to offer support in this channel for it
[04:54] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: No, not when it is off.
[04:55] <romance> hi
[04:55] <Lovloss> Well then. there you have it :<

[04:56] <SuperQ> ok
[04:56] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: glxinfo | grep direct
[04:57] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: If it says Direct rendering = no, you are still using XGL
[04:57] <nu> i cannot run php files on my computer if my life depended on it
[04:57] <Lovloss> nope im not :P

[05:02] <SuperQ> (case sensitive)
[05:02] <Vodan> yeah i did grep -c3 nvidia /etc/x11/xorg.cfg
[05:02] <SuperQ> no
[05:02] <SuperQ> X11
[05:02] <Vodan> bah
[05:02] <Vodan> k
[05:02] <Lovloss> no... im poor
[05:02] <Vodan> brb
[05:02] <SuperQ> heh!
[05:02] <SuperQ> and conf, not cfg
[05:03] <Jordan_U> Lovloss: I don't know then, is it only Blender that is slow?
[05:03] <Vodan> i did conf
[05:03] <Vodan> and now it just sits there
[05:03] <Lovloss> seems to be
[05:03] <Vodan> does nothing
[05:03] <lucas9000> i downloaded a tar.gz file and i need to run the script (which is the unpacked file i guess)...how do i do that?
[05:03] <Lovloss> qhhh i think cause im using an external
[05:04] <Vodan> so much for "it just works" :(
[05:04] <conreyt> anyone know how to fix this? java+azureus issue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35243/
[05:04] <bruenig> lucas9000, you need to extract the tar.gz file
[05:04] <bruenig> lucas9000, tar zxvf whatever.tar.gz
[05:05] <sc4ttrdbr4in> lucas9000: :there should be README file inside it
[05:05] <kitche> Vodan: does it look like a console or has it shwon the $ yet?
[05:05] <Vodan> when i try to boot normally?
[05:05] <Vodan> http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/2395/imgp1478vt2.jpg
[05:05] <kitche> Vodan: after you ran the grep command but it should eb cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep nvidia
[05:05] <SuperQ> kitche: I had him do that
[05:06] <lucas9000> bruenig: ok i did that
[05:06] <SuperQ> kitche: it's not in there
[05:06] <Vodan> its just like blank
[05:06] <Vodan> a blank line
[05:06] <bruenig> lucas9000, ok, change into the directory, cd directory
[05:06] <SuperQ> Vodan: it's not blank, the command I gave you was a search for text
[05:06] <ArrenLex> I have lots of folders with .zip files in them. I want to take all these zip files and put them into one folder. Is there any magical way to do so?
[05:06] <kitche> SuperQ: well he said he just did grep -c3 nvidia|/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:06] <SuperQ> oh
[05:06] <SuperQ> -C
[05:06] <SuperQ> like I said.. case matters
[05:06] <stazich> hi, i am trying to change permissions of a file to have full access to it, what should i do? right now only apache has access i have been told
[05:06] <bruenig> lucas9000, from there to "ls" to list the contents and there should be a README or something else to tip you off
[05:07] <bruenig> s/to/do
[05:07] <Vodan> k brb
[05:07] <lucas9000> bruenig: ok i see
[05:07] <lucas9000> readme has instructions
[05:07] <cwmajors> Still need some help getting my 6.10 live CD to boot up. I'm using the F6 mode to remove quiet and splash and adding acpi=off (from a tip on the forum), and it looks like everything is great up until the time it should be showing me Gnome- then the screen blanks and I get nothing. I even chose "use safe graphics mode". What to do?
[05:07] <lucas9000> bruenig: thanks...i'm still very new to this
[05:07] <Jordan_U> ArrenLex: Yup, easy actually, cp /wherever/*.zip /wherever you want them to go  :)
[05:07] <moiqou> goodbye... good night...
[05:07] <bruenig> !thanks | lucas9000
[05:07] <ubotu> lucas9000: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:07] <kitche> SuperQ: but if he doesn't cat xorg.conf it won't even look for nvidia at least from my knowledge
[05:07] <fbc> Is there anyway to view ASP pages with ubuntu????
[05:08] <SuperQ> kitche: you don't need cat
[05:08] <fbc> or firefox?
[05:08] <SuperQ> kitche: grep [options]  PATTERN [FILE...]
[05:08] <bruenig> fbc, what is an ASP page?
[05:08] <sc4ttrdbr4in> fbc: yes
[05:08] <Vodan> its still a uh
[05:08] <Vodan> blank
[05:08] <SuperQ> Vodan: ok
[05:08] <Rookie_> Active Server Page
[05:08] <SuperQ> Vodan: one more option to grep
[05:08] <ArrenLex> Jordan_U: Well, yes, that's obvious. The problem is, I have over a hundred of these folders.
[05:08] <sc4ttrdbr4in> fbc: mod_mono through apache ;)
[05:09] <SuperQ> Vodan: grep -i -C3 "nvidia" /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:09] <Vodan> k brb
[05:09] <fbc> bruenig:  Well my bank page for one. I've changed my user agnet to IE6 in firefox, and my banks page stil won't load, so I guess I need a browser that can support ASP. Right?
[05:09] <cwmajors> Nobody can help with my livecd problem? Any suggestion where to go?
[05:09] <kitche> SuperQ: ah yeah that brings back the whole section my way only brings back one or two lines that's why I think i like cat better
[05:09] <Jordan_U> ArrenLex: Got it, sorry I misunderstood, you can still do it though with some bash scripting
[05:09] <stelt> fbc, asp is server side
[05:09] <Rookie_> ASP is microsofts answer on php
[05:09] <SuperQ> kitche: I wanted the whole section
[05:10] <kitche> SuperQ: at least I know you can do it that way now :)
[05:10] <SuperQ> kitche: -C is for "context"
[05:10] <fbc> stelt:  ahh..
[05:10] <SuperQ> kitche: grep is your friend :)
[05:10] <sc4ttrdbr4in> cwmajors: check the cd itself? maybe its broken (just like my case)
[05:10] <fbc> Rookie_:  thanks.. for the explaination.
[05:10] <drcode> hi all
[05:10] <kitche> SuperQ: I use grep all the time but I usually do that cat way since I know what I m looking for usually
[05:10] <drcode> I have qustion about pppconfig
[05:10] <SuperQ> kitche: yea
[05:10] <fbc> stelt:  So what can I try to run my banks page?
[05:10] <Rookie_> with that i wanted to say - it dosent matter what browser ....
[05:10] <drcode> I saw that there is option to dial from pon command?
[05:11] <drcode> I can also use mgetty?
[05:11] <drcode> what is better?
[05:11] <sc4ttrdbr4in> fbc: :firefox should load just fien imo
[05:11] <Vodan> still nothing
[05:11] <SuperQ> kitche: I just wish ubuntu would default to nvidia binary drivers
[05:11] <SuperQ> Vodan: well.. you're going to have to edit the file by hand then
[05:11] <SuperQ> Vodan: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:11] <ArrenLex> Jordan_U: I got it, no worries.
[05:11] <Vodan> wasn't ubuntu supposed to "just work"
[05:12] <fbc> sc4ttrdbr4in:  It won't it tells me I NEED IE6 OR netscape 7.1, and I've switched between both user agents , and no cigar..
[05:12] <SuperQ> Vodan: yea, it is.. except for the bugs :)
[05:12] <Pelo> SuperQ,  you forgot sudo first
[05:12] <SuperQ> Pelo: he's booted in recovery mode
[05:12] <kitche> Vodan: it does just work :) but sometiems there are bugs
[05:12] <Pelo> ah
[05:12] <Vodan> can you type everything now, so i can just do it at once
[05:12] <SuperQ> Vodan: one sec
[05:12] <Vodan> so i don't have to run between rooms
[05:13] <SuperQ> heh
[05:13] <Jordan_U> fbc: You can run IE6 in Linux with IE4linux
[05:13] <SuperQ> yes.. one sec
[05:13] <SuperQ> let me type it up
[05:13] <fbc> Jordan_U:  thanks I'll try that..
[05:14] <juyi>
[05:14] <noodles12> is there a linux alternative to Maple that uses similar syntax?
[05:14] <mogorman> hi
[05:14] <kitche> juyi?
[05:14] <jrib> noodles12: maple runs on linux
[05:14] <sc4ttrdbr4in> fbc: u may want this http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[05:15] <mogorman> i installed ubuntu 6.10 on my mac mini ppc it seems to only boot into single user mode, i always have to manually push it to init 2
[05:15] <mogorman> any ideas as to why
[05:15] <mogorman> inittab is correct
[05:15] <noodles12> jrib: the thing is i have a hw assignment due 2morrow and maple is only on school computers. I need to run my code to amke sure the syntax goes through and if it works
[05:15] <Vodan> ok
[05:15] <Vodan> let me go try
[05:15] <Vodan> first, yea i know
[05:15] <tIgErStYLe> hello .. .any girl spaeak spanish
[05:16] <tIgErStYLe> hello .. .any girl speak spanish
[05:16] <jrib> !offtopic | tIgErStYLe
[05:16] <ubotu> tIgErStYLe: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:17] <jrib> noodles12: hmm, I doubt there is anything that uses the same exact syntax.  Maybe you can ssh to a school computer and run it from the command line?  I don't mind running the file once on here if you put it up on pastebin
[05:17] <degantyll> tIgErStYLe, creo que te equivocaste de lugar para tratar de ligar
[05:17] <degantyll> tIgErStYLe, hay muchisismos mas canales en esta red donde puedes buscar gente, aqui es el canal de soporte de una distribucin de Linux
[05:18] <jrib> degantyll: thank you
[05:18] <degantyll> jrib, welcome
[05:20] <noodles12> jrib: i appreciate it. if i finsih the code sometime soon i'll surely take you up on your offer =). and i also don't know how to ssh to my schools computer and am unsure if they support it.
[05:20] <jrib> noodles12: university or high school?
[05:20] <mogorman> nevermind it was bug in yaboot.conf
[05:20] <noodles12> university
[05:21] <jrib> noodles12: your math department probably has something setup, just approach your professor about it
[05:21] <jrib> (this doesn't help you today of course :))
[05:22] <turd125> hello
[05:23] <turd125> i was wondering if someone could tell me where connect to server mounts the server
[05:23] <madman91> hey guys
[05:23] <turd125> i dont think anyone in here can talk
[05:24] <turd125> i was wondering if someone could tell me where connect to server mounts the server
[05:24] <madman91> i have a VERY broad question... how do i make an ubuntu server on a computer.. including details like finding a domain name.. (preferably free) ... etc.. I am a complete server noob.. but i am ok in linux... can someone point me onto a trail?
[05:24] <Pelo> turd125,  it is possible that no one currently in can help
[05:24] <Dasnipa`> anyone by chance know of a console command to sync the system clock to the timeserver? my comp is getting older and starts to run slow within a week these days
[05:24] <turd125> no idea
[05:24] <turd125> no idea
[05:24] <turd125> i was wondering if someone could tell me where connect to server mounts the server
[05:24] <Dasnipa`> i just wanna make a cronjob for it or something
[05:24] <kitche> Dasnipa`: you need to install ntp then run ntpdate
[05:24] <crimsun> Dasnipa`: that happens automatically whenever a network interface is brought up (on ifup)
[05:24] <kitche> !repeat|turd125
[05:24] <ubotu> turd125: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[05:24] <Pelo> turd125,  you are spaming
[05:24] <paul_it> hallo
[05:25] <paul_it> anybody here ever tried zenwalk?
[05:25] <kitche> paul_it: ask in ##slackware since some people in there use it
[05:25] <crimsun> Dasnipa`: if you're noticing clock desync, you could either install ntp-server or crontab an ntpdate
[05:25] <turd125> well its seems to be an easy question that any experience usr should know
[05:25] <paul_it> thanx!!!!
[05:25] <Dasnipa`> kitche, i apparently have ntp, and running ntp gets me this: 3 Dec 22:25:19 ntpdate[30155] : no servers can be used, exiting
[05:26] <kitche> Dasnipa`: you might have to edit the ntp config file
[05:26] <kitche> turd125: it mounts where the other files mounts either /media or /mnt
[05:26] <Dasnipa`> ok ty
[05:26] <craigbass1976> What are some of the lighter weight WM's that can be easily installed?  IceWM?  Xfce?
[05:26] <Vodan> Super: It works now, but how do I add my 1440x900 resolution to the list?
[05:27] <Vodan> it only goes up to 1280x1024 or whatever
[05:27] <JoshJ> my alt-f2 is not working :(
[05:27] <turd125> i thought it would be in media or mnt but its now
[05:27] <kitche> craigbass1976: fluxbox openbox wmii
[05:27] <turd125> not
[05:27] <JoshJ> it's set in keyboard settings
[05:27] <JoshJ> "Show the panel run application dialog"        <Alt>F2
[05:28] <JoshJ> yet it does nothing... any ideas?
[05:28] <fbc> sc4ttrdbr4in:  thatfor the ies4linux tip....
[05:28] <Pelo> Vodan,  edit the xorg.conf file and add the rez you want manualy
[05:28] <fbc> sc4ttrdbr4in:  I meant thanks..
[05:28] <Vodan> bah,i was just in xorg
[05:28] <ab0oo> can someone tell me how (or tell me what to google) to build a package after I "apt-get source <pkgname>:
[05:28] <sc4ttrdbr4in> fbc: np
[05:28] <Dasnipa`> i also have a weird thing that happens that i cant explain. its not a huge problem but slightly annoying to my friends, dont know if its a problem in gaim, or something im running, but after a random amt of 'idle time' i come back from away its always a whole number like 10 mins, 15 mins or 20 mins
[05:28] <kitche> Vodan: you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and add res that way
[05:29] <Pelo> ab0oo,  http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[05:29] <||bass> quick question, does ubuntu seriously STILL not have a graphical editor for the MIME database?
[05:29] <ab0oo> Pelo: tnx.
[05:30] <kitche> ||bass: gnome comes with one by default
[05:30] <||bass> where?
[05:30] <turd125> anyone ever get mathcad to install on linux in here?
[05:30] <||bass> i know gnome USED to have a mime editor that got taken out in later version
[05:30] <||bass> but i haven't seen one in the current version
[05:30] <kitche> ||bass: well it was under System and gnome still has it just that it's another package
[05:30] <JoshJ> you mean gnome-mime-data maybe?
[05:31] <||bass> i mean a GUI editor for the mime db
[05:31] <JoshJ> don't know, sorry
[05:31] <ab0oo> Pelo: nothing in there about source installs.  I have to rebuild PHP because there are some funky GD dependencies that are affecting me downstream.

[05:36] <Buck_> Where do I get that?
[05:36] <||bass> anyone know where to file a suggestion?
[05:36] <turd125> i was wondering if someone could tell me "where connect to server" mounts the server
[05:37] <Buck_> Do I need ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <JoshJ> you get it by doing sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[05:37] <JoshJ> as for ndiswrapper it depends on your card specifically and the instructions on the wiki

[05:41] <jrib> ||bass: file a bug I suppose
[05:42] <||bass> it's not really a bug though

[05:47] <bimberi> Buck_: Every Ubuntu CD has a repository with ndiswrapper-utils on it.  Otherwise you can d/l via http://packages.ubuntu.com
[05:48] <||bass> oh this is classic, i log into the ubuntu bug tracker
[05:48] <Buck_> Thank you.
[05:48] <||bass> the first bug on the list, "microsoft has a majority market share"
[05:48] <SilentDis> hi hi :)
[05:48] <||bass> status: critical
[05:48] <||bass> ahahahah
[05:49] <jrib> ||bass: yes, please help us squash that bug :)
[05:49] <SilentDis> lol bass
[05:49] <ab0oo> hate to ask twice, but how do I compile/package a package that I retrieved with "apt-get source <package> "?  I have the directory created by apt-get, but I want to compile it using the same ./configure params the original packager used.
[05:49] <Lovloss> How come when i try to install cinepaint it tells me "something" conflicts with it
[05:49] <||bass> bugID 1
[05:49] <||bass> meaning whoever installed the bug tracker put i thtere
[05:49] <||bass> someone is very, very, awesome
[05:49] <jrib> ab0oo: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html#s-source
[05:50] <joga> hello, what is the kernel version shipped with ubuntu 6.10?
[05:50] <joga> hard to find the info on the ubuntu webpage..
[05:50] <SbCl3> i'm having a problem... something seems to be broken in dapper that isn't broken in earlier versions.... in earlier versions i could create an iso with the command "sudo cat /dev/cdrom > image.iso". However, that doesn't work anymore, it says 'no medium found'. The CD drive makes noises, so it is the right drive
[05:50] <degantyll> joga, type uname -r on the terminal
[05:50] <ab0oo> jrib: tnx.  google wasn't leadning me there.
[05:50] <Cas> joga 2.6.17
[05:50] <joga> degantyll I don't have ubuntu right now, just need to know if it's ok for a certain use
[05:50] <joga> Cas thank you
[05:50] <degantyll> joga, ah allright
[05:50] <jrib> ab0oo: you could also use debuild if you wanted too, but the command given there is just as fine for that
[05:50] <joga> thank you
[05:51] <SilentDis> quick question:  Currently running Dapper here, got Beryl running as well.  I'll be upgrading via the DVD once they get here.  should I disable/remove beryl before performing the upgrade?
[05:51] <ab0oo> jrib: I'll look into debuild, but this is what I needed tonight
[05:51] <ab0oo> tnx
[05:52] <strabes> SilentDis: I believe so.
[05:52] <SbCl3> could my problem be that this is a music CD and not a data cd?
[05:52] <jrib> ab0oo: np, if you care to learn more about packaging visit the MOTU page on ubuntu wiki
[05:52] <strabes> SilentDis: i believe you're supposed to remove beryl before the upgrade. not sure though. just remember something from a forum or w/e.
[05:53] <SilentDis> strabes:  aargh, figures.  just got it just the way I wanted it rofl.  ah well, that'll save headaches at least, thank you :)
[05:54] <noodles12> jrib: hey can i send u my old maple assignment and can you send me back the text? i open it in a text editor and i get a lot of trash
[05:54] <jrib> noodles12: ok

[05:54] <jrib> Lovloss: tried kino?
[05:55] <strabes> SilentDis: yeah sorry =\ gl with the upgrade
[05:55] <Lovloss> kino? Is that not in the package list? :3
[05:55] <Keyseir> Anyone know agood chess program that supports play over the internet with friends?
[05:55] <lucas9000> can anyone tell me which of these i need for edgy 6.10 amd64? http://hvidgaard.dk/download/xine-flac-update/
[05:55] <Keyseir> Preferably decent GUI easily configurable
[05:55] <Lovloss> oh thats for DV videos. I want to edit 3D animations i made
[05:55] <SbCl3> what is the command for creating an ISO from an audio CD? "cat /dev/cdrom > aoeu.iso" doesn't seem to be working
[05:55] <GenNMX> Keyseir: Did you search for Chess in Synaptic?
[05:56] <bitflip> SbCl3: mksiofs
[05:56] <Keyseir> GenNMX, There's a lot of stuff in there, and some of it isn't useful for what I'm looking for. So, I thought I'd ask for a Person Reference.
[05:56] <bitflip> SbCl3: err, mkisofs
[05:56] <strabes> Keyseir: yahoo! chess
[05:56] <SbCl3> yahoo! chess sucks :/
[05:56] <stelt> Lovloss, there's an open source movie made with Blender3d and a range of other tools. look it up and see the tools
[05:57] <strabes> SbCl3: it lets you play over the internet with friends; exactly what he was looking for =\
[05:57] <Lovloss> yes, Elephants Dream. *sigh* i just thought maybe ubuntu would have a good one

[06:01] <strabes> JoshJ: hardly. if i was a new linux user and i came in here looking for help, and i saw people like holycow cussing up a storm, it would for sure turn me off to linux
[06:01] <lucas9000> holycow: tyvm
[06:01] <craigbass1976> I just installed openbox, and found myself at a blank screen. Right clicking got me a menu, but there wasn't much at all in it.
[06:02] <JoshJ> that's not cussing up a storm
[06:02] <holycow> lucas9000, no worries
[06:02] <||bass> ok seriously, this isn't the 1950's

[06:03] <JoshJ> i didn't see him drop the f-bomb outside of his ident
[06:03] <JoshJ> saying "wtf" is not profanity
[06:03] <loca|host> snapple, dont paste here, look at the topic
[06:03] <sc4ttrdbr4in> !pastebin | snapple
[06:03] <ubotu> snapple: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:03] <||bass> it was in his ident name
[06:03] <||bass> he never actually said it
[06:03] <strabes> whatever
[06:03] <abarbaccia> holycow: im getting a whole lot of stalled transfers. not even with just ftp tho - some http as well - anytime i need to upload a large file transfers stall and then "connection reset by peer"
[06:03] <strabes> just trying to keep the channel friendly
[06:03] <snapple> gah, sorry
[06:03] <snapple> just a little flustered at this not working
[06:03] <strabes> apparently it's not working
[06:03] <JoshJ> there's a difference between "keeping the channel friendly" and "being a stuck-up tightwad" :\
[06:04] <abarbaccia> holycow: i just upgraded the drivers to latest stable
[06:04] <strabes> yeah I know. i was doing the former
[06:04] <||bass> it was friendly until someone started getitng upset over an ident name
[06:04] <||bass> then it got unfriendly
[06:04] <abarbaccia> holycow: now im going to try the cvs version and see if anything is different
[06:04] <loca|host> snapple, you've got two drives hda and hdb, do an fdisk -l /dev/hda and then hdb
[06:04] <holycow> strabes, because you are taking it waaaay too far.  if you want me to change my ident just ask, don't take a grand stading position on it.
[06:04] <holycow> abarbaccia, what ftp client are you using?
[06:04] <abarbaccia> gftp
[06:04] <holycow> oh try something else
[06:04] <strabes> holycow: i don't personally care. it's the rules of the channel. ?
[06:04] <holycow> gftp is known to be buggy
[06:05] <holycow> strabes, you clearly care enough to still be talking about it tho
[06:05] <snapple> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35249/
[06:05] <Lone> How do I get video to stream in Win32 codecs? The wiki seems outdated...
[06:05] <strabes> holycow: i just said i don't personally care
[06:05] <holycow> abarbaccia, i don't have a good alternative ftp client suggestion tho .. most of them tend to have some faults
[06:05] <snapple> I have been able to mount these partitions before, just not after installing ubuntu
[06:06] <||bass> if you don't personally care
[06:06] <loca|host> snapple, sorry my connexion is down, cant see your pastebin there
[06:06] <foosh> Nobody cares...now STFU
[06:06] <||bass> then stop personally calling an op over it
[06:06] <abarbaccia> holycow: i also have this problem with firefox uploading files via http in addition to just mounting the ftp on my filesystem and accessing it that way
[06:06] <abarbaccia> holycow: so im beginning to think its more than the client
[06:06] <snapple> well, for /dev/hdb I get a: This doesn't look like a partition table
[06:06] <holycow> abarbaccia, oh really?
[06:06] <holycow> abarbaccia, what about downloading large files?
[06:07] <holycow> just curious if its both ways
[06:07] <abarbaccia> holycow: no issue
[06:07] <holycow> the its not a hardware issue ... hmm
[06:08] <holycow> abarbaccia, i'm not sure what to suggest, i was thinking that it might of been a hardware issue
[06:08] <abarbaccia> same here
[06:08] <holycow> i've had occasional intermittent hardware issues kinda do things like this
[06:08] <abarbaccia> which is why im trying newer drivers
[06:09] <holycow> abarbaccia, not a bad idea.  try konqueror browser as well ... it might be a toolkit/library related thing
[06:10] <abarbaccia> holycow: it wouldn't explain firefox then though
[06:10] <snapple> I think I have to rebuild my partition table
[06:11] <SbCl3> if i say "dd if=/dev/scd0 of=image.iso" i get an input/output error ...i don't understand this
[06:11] <holycow> abarbaccia, good point .. .you know you got me there.  i'm not sure what to suggest ... sorry dude
[06:11] <snapple> since dmesg says "hdb: unkown partition table"
[06:11] <SbCl3> this is just for audio cds
[06:11] <snapple> funny thing is, windows mounts it fine :/
[06:12] <abarbaccia_> holycow: im testing some things with buffer sizes and queuing tx packets
[06:13] <||bass> you should try opening the disk in gparted and make some insignifigant change to the partition like change the volume label
[06:13] <||bass> see if it fixes it
[06:13] <||bass> i'm totally serious
[06:13] <B1zz> I installed bcm43xx driver on my Xubuntu system, when i go to look for networks (iwlist scan) it tells me my eth2 interface does not suport scanning no such file.  Anyone have an idea?
[06:14] <burepe> When I use Japanese the kanji and the hiragana are on different planes so
[06:14] <burepe> the kanji is dropped down
[06:14] <francis> any filipino here?
[06:14] <sc4ttrdbr4in> burepe: what do u mean?
[06:15] <burepe> It is very annoying. I tried changing the font but it only affects the roman letters not the japanese. Any suggestions?
[06:15] <francis> hello
[06:15] <burepe> sc4ttrdbr4in: imagine a sentence and it is not straight
[06:15] <sc4ttrdbr4in> burepe: if the font only has the western font then it wont change
[06:15] <burepe> it is bumpy
[06:15] <||bass> burepe, not every font has japanese in it
[06:15] <||bass> if the font you select doesnt have japanese in it
[06:15] <burepe> yeah so which ones do
[06:15] <burepe> exactly
[06:16] <sc4ttrdbr4in> burepe: but if you use japanese font(like mincho etc) it will change
[06:16] <burepe> cool]
[06:16] <francis> any linux guru here? need help
[06:16] <||bass> it will just use the default for that section
[06:16] <burepe> checking...
[06:16] <burepe> francis ask your question
[06:16] <sc4ttrdbr4in> burepe: search for japanese in synaptic

[06:25] <Lone> solution?
[06:25] <burepe> I got a question. I am setting up a server (I am new to this) on another comp, so now I have 2 comps. I really would like to use only one monitor because I live in a very little place. I tried using VNC but lag time and other things frusterated me. So I am wondering what other ways can I use my server without having to have a monitor or keyboard. W
[06:25] <sc4ttrdbr4in> nol13: sorry i thought k3b support it
[06:26] <nol13> slept, i installed mdf2iso but it said file size is to large (2 gig file)
[06:26] <slept> hmm, do you have enough space ?
[06:26] <lkthomas> out of topic question, if I am using <IP_ADDRESS>/29, does the gateway should be <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[06:26] <sc4ttrdbr4in> burepe: try freenx
[06:27] <francis> im running ubuntu 5.10..can this be use as internet server or a proxy? how?
[06:27] <noodles12> i woudl also like to know if you can use a laptop with only one nic as a server/router/firewall for your network
[06:27] <IdleOne> installing kubuntu-desktop will install kde?
[06:27] <sc4ttrdbr4in> francis: yes, install apache
[06:28] <francis> apche? is that another form of OS
[06:28] <burepe> sc4ttrdbr4in: do I run that on the server or my main computer,? My main comp is a mac.
[06:29] <Cas> francis: I would recommend you to update to dapper. but to stay on topic, I think you want to make a NAT gateway to share your internet with other computers right?
[06:29] <IdleOne> burepe freenx is good but there will be a lag time
[06:29] <burepe> IdleOne: yes but your log in will change to ked's interface unless you pick gnome
[06:29] <lance_> burepe, do both machines use linux? xdmcp. Or you could use a kvm (keyboard video mouse) switch. heh
[06:29] <IdleOne> burepe,  Thank you
[06:30] <burepe> lance_ the server is ubuntu the other is mac
[06:30] <francis> yes
[06:30] <francis> thnks cas
[06:30] <burepe> what is a keyboard video switch?
[06:30] <IdleOne> burepe,  to remove kubuntu-desktop if I dont like it for whatever reason how would I do that?
[06:31] <francis> but waht is dapper? this my first time to use this..and im still gathering some reading materials to find out
[06:31] <lance_> a physical switch that switches a mouse/keyboard/monitor, between two or more computers ;o
[06:31] <burepe> you do the apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[06:31] <IdleOne> burepe,  Thank you again
[06:31] <burepe> if your log in changes to kde and you just want to change it back to gnome you can do the install ubuntu-desktop and it will reset it
[06:32] <IdleOne> I need one of them switches hehe
[06:32] <francis> can u give me a link for the newbies
[06:32] <IdleOne> francis, wiki.ubuntu.org
[06:32] <Taylor> http://ubuntuguide.org

[06:33] <ma12> Hi everyone, I have just installed ubuntu 6.10 on my new computer and the internet is SUPER SLOW.  I have already tried disabling ipv6 but no luck!
[06:33] <burepe> lance_ my main comp is a imac so the monitor is part of the comp. Can I use something like that with the mac?
[06:34] <lance_> burepe, um, no idea. probably not.
[06:34] <francis> ha ha there is so much help here..thnk you guys
[06:34] <IdleOne> burepe,  I doubt it :/
[06:34] <rega> !Xvnc
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Xvnc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:34] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: u can always install ubuntu on it ;)
[06:35] <ma12> anyone know why My wireless connection in ubu 6.10 is so slow?

[06:38] <nmc> i need help
[06:38] <burepe> nmc: ask your question
[06:38] <IdleOne> nmc ask
[06:38] <nol13> sc4ttrdbr4in, wait i guess it does support it sorry, i tried burn image and it wouldnt let me select it but i just clicked on it in the file browser and its comming up fine i think

[06:39] <sc4ttrdbrain> !frostwire > francis
[06:39] <nmc> i install drupal using synaptic packager after finishing install i cant find it in the www folder
[06:40] <nmc> how to locate my installation of drupal using ubuntu 6.10
[06:40] <burepe> what is the name of the folder?
[06:40] <IdleOne> open terminal type find drupal
[06:40] <nmc> i dont know
[06:40] <burepe> I have experience with drupal but not in ubuntu
[06:40] <sc4ttrdbrain> nmc: you can check in synaptic, look for installed files/folder of drupal
[06:40] <nmc> how ?
[06:41] <slept> burepe, folders are acctually directories which are files
[06:41] <burepe> search drupal and see what comes up?
[06:41] <sc4ttrdbrain> nmc: when u select drupal package, there dhould be info in synaptic, or u can try "locate drupal"
[06:41] <nmc> no such file or directory
[06:41] <burepe> slept:  what do you mean? that I should say directory and not folder?
[06:42] <||bass> it doesnt matter
[06:42] <||bass> a directory and a folder are two words for the same thing
[06:42] <slept> burepe, dont take it to serious - doesnt matter - i was just bored
[06:42] <sc4ttrdbrain> nmc search drupal in synaptic, select it there should be info where it installed
[06:42] <burepe> I am just curious cause I didn't catch the meaning
[06:42] <burepe> :)

[06:46] <nmc> yes
[06:46] <nmc> thanks
[06:46] <nmc> what do u men by -s
[06:46] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: u can try ubuntu japan version, they got beutifull fonts
[06:46] <nmc> ln -s
[06:47] <sc4ttrdbrain> nmc: symbolic linking
[06:47] <paul0> sc4ttrdbrain: http://rafb.net/paste/results/Xlz1Kd95.html
[06:47] <nmc> ic
[06:47] <burepe> what do you mean? I have to reinstall?
[06:47] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe, no
[06:47] <nmc> how about the var/lib/drupal directory
[06:47] <sc4ttrdbrain> just add their repo or syumthing
[06:47] <edylie> anyone know why this is an unknown key? net.core.hot_list_length
[06:48] <burepe> It is not ubuntu with the Japanese prefix?
[06:48] <edylie> or rather which kernel parameter do i need to turn on in order to have that key?
[06:48] <burepe> with the jp prefix?
[06:48] <burepe> once I do that how do I make it a Japanese version?
[06:48] <firebird619> Could someone help me? My monitors native resolution is 1680x1050, but it is not listed in System, Preferences, Screen Resolution, yet it is in xorg.conf.
[06:48] <sc4ttrdbrain> nmc: i think u dont have to do that, by default, drupal installation creates linking to /var/www i dont know this case actually
[06:48] <Frijolie> hey kids
[06:49] <SuMarDi> anyone use gnome-dock?
[06:49] <Spisters> hello
[06:49] <Frijolie> what's crackin?
[06:49] <Spisters> this may sound like a dumb question but does ubuntu have a firewall?
[06:49] <sc4ttrdbrain> firebird619: :sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[06:49] <ma12> does anyone have problems with a slow browser speed in edgy?
[06:49] <LADoctor> hi, i have intel celeron 533mgh with i think about 64mb of ram and 32mb video card, what kind of linux would you recomend
[06:49] <nmc> i try ln -s /usr/share/drupal /var/www
[06:49] <Frijolie> I have to say that I'm a new Linux noob...but overall i have to say my migration to Linux has been great so far!
[06:49] <Frijolie> I'm definately a fan of Linux and it's OS
[06:50] <IdleOne> LADoctor, xubuntu
[06:50] <SuMarDi> hi... how can i set gnome-dock to my startup program?
[06:50] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: what do u want actually? i confused
[06:50] <LADoctor> do i use standard of special
[06:50] <nmc> sc4tt wow the drupal folder is now in the var/www/directory
[06:50] <firebird619> sc4ttrdbrain: I have tried that, but no luck. I also tried 915resolution, but the output of 915resolution -l does not list 1680x1050, but it does list 1600x1200 and 1920x1440.
[06:50] <burepe> I want not messed up japanese fonts.
[06:50] <Madpilot> Spisters, there is one built in; if you need a GUI front-end for it, install firestarter. But Ubuntu also has no open ports or active services by default, so it doesn't really need a firewall
[06:50] <burepe> the default was not level and mincho looks bad
[06:50] <aztracker1> don't suppose anyone in here knows xml + xpath?
[06:51] <burepe> just a nice simple font
[06:51] <firebird619> sc4ttrdbrain: So I would think it would support 1680x1050, beings it lists up to 1920x1440.
[06:51] <Spisters> I need to open a port, how can I do that?
[06:51] <sc4ttrdbrain> firebird619: : when u do that there should be option of available screen reso. if not then i dont know
[06:52] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: : then japanese font in repo should be enough
[06:52] <Spisters> thank you for the help by the way, I am a windows to Mac/Linux converter who can now say does not run a single Microsoft program!
[06:52] <Madpilot> Spisters, install firestarter, it's a nice graphical front-end and makes port management easy
[06:52] <firebird619> sc4ttrdbrain: Unfortunately it doesn't list that 1680x1050. Thanks for the help.
[06:52] <||bass> 1680x1050 is an unusual resolution
[06:53] <Spisters> thank you very much, I will search for it on the program installer, that program by the way kicks serious ass
[06:53] <burepe> which one though. I'm working on it. I'll tell you in a few.
[06:53] <sc4ttrdbrain> Spisters: :sudo apt-get install firestarter
[06:53] <firebird619> ||bass: It is a 22" widescreen.
[06:53] <xavice> I have a problem.
[06:53] <xavice> I had sound yesterday.
[06:53] <xavice> But not today.
[06:53] <xavice> What's wrong?
[06:53] <IdleOne> !enter
[06:53] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[06:53] <xavice> x.x; Sorry! O:
[06:54] <IdleOne> no problem
[06:54] <||bass> you can start by going to sound under preferences
[06:54] <xavice> Preferences?
[06:54] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: there should be more than enough, but i forgot the name, im not in ubuntu
[06:54] <||bass> and making sure that your actual sound card is selected as the default device
[06:54] <xavice> Oh, I have a blackbox interface.
[06:54] <||bass> and not some random thing
[06:54] <||bass> oh
[06:55] <xavice> gnome
[06:55] <Spisters> you guys rock, thanks a tone
[06:55] <||bass> under gnome
[06:55] <||bass> under the system menu
[06:55] <||bass> the sound icon
[06:55] <xavice> Let me run GNOME right now.
[06:55] <||bass> make sure in the sound panel that the default sound card is your actual sound card
[06:55] <||bass> i know for me, i had to change it
[06:55] <xavice> Bah.. Do you have a solution under BlackBox?
[06:56] <||bass> because it made some random weird thing my default card
[06:56] <prax2> hello. Anyone know if it is possible to make Nvidia Geforce 6100 on ubuntu. Please suggest
[06:56] <||bass> i dont, someone else might
[06:56] <burepe>  The problem is that the Japanese that says "this is a test" in the font setting section does not have chinese charecters in it so you can not tell if it is messed up like the defalut font. I wonder is there a way that I can change the "this is a test" text?
[06:56] <ademan> how do you join a mailing list with evolution?
[06:57] <||bass> burepe
[06:57] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: i dont understand
[06:57] <Madpilot> ademan, same way you'd join a mailing list w/ any other client - generally, send an email asking to subscribe...
[06:57] <||bass> you should really consider installing the japanese langugae package
[06:57] <ademan> Madpilot: ah ok, i'm relatively unfamiliar with mailing lists
[06:57] <sc4ttrdbrain> burepe: ah right,o course u have to install jap language pack
[06:58] <sc4ttrdbrain> :)
[06:58] <Madpilot> ademan, if it's Ubuntu lists you're trying to join, all their pages have basic info on joining
[06:58] <burepe> it is hard to explain. My system is in Japanese. Bare with me

[07:13] <kuzmaster> offtopic: can anyone go to www.qunu.com, it seems to be down.........
[07:15] <yanger> ah, bug was fixed by rebooting the system ;\ guess ctrl-alt-backspace wasn't enough ;\
[07:15] <Bearcat> If a grid, treeview or other widget is focused and the text is obscured due to column size hovering the mouse over the cell should expose all of the text in the cell in a tool tip. Is there a way to enable this behavior in Gnome, or does it have to be programmed in to each app?
[07:15] <kuzmaster> offtopic: can anyone go to www.qunu.com, it seems to be down.........
[07:16] <francis> regarding viruses...does ubuntu need a third party software for anti-virus
[07:16] <yanger> but anyways.. I'm trying to reassociate some extensions to programs I prefer (mpg -> totem right now, i rather have mplayer) ... when i tried to change it, it won't let me. i crossed paths with a matroska format, and when I tried to add mplayer to the open with list, got this error: "Could not add application to the application database" ... any way to correct this?
[07:16] <Rageagainstthis> is there any rss feeds for ubuntu.  For new programs, tips and tricks, and news?
[07:16] <kortec> hey guys -- is there a bootable USB drive image to install ubuntu off? my cd drive ate itself

[07:17] <francis> good to know..thnks bearcat
[07:17] <Madpilot> Rageagainstthis, fridge.ubuntu.com & planet.ubuntu.com both have feeds
[07:18] <Bearcat> kuzmaster: i can ping that address, and it resolves quickly
[07:18] <Rageagainstthis> thanks madplanet

[07:19] <ademan> does bash save a log of your console anywhere? (BOTH input and output)
[07:19] <sindrum> any idead on how long the repositories are down for?
[07:20] <francis> do u guys know how to set ubuntu 5.10 as a firewall or internet gateway
[07:20] <Madpilot> sindrum, the main repos don't seem to be down
[07:21] <Rageagainstthis> ls
[07:22] <Bearcat> ademan: it saves commands but not output
[07:22] <sindrum> yeah they are back up... mabey time to change the topic?
[07:22] <sindrum> maybe
[07:22] <ademan> Bearcat: well right .bash_history or whatever
[07:22] <ademan> but nothing for output? that's too bad i really needed that
[07:22] <Bearcat> ademan: nope. You can pipe it to a file, but not after the fact
[07:23] <Bearcat> er..
[07:23] <francis> wanna ask whats the equivalent of control panel in ubuntu?
[07:23] <Bearcat> redirect, nit pipe
[07:23] <ademan> yeah
[07:23] <Bearcat> s/nit/not
[07:23] <Madpilot> sindrum, ah, I missed the /topic - I don't use the US archives, not sure if they're down or not
[07:23] <ademan> blah > somefile
[07:24] <sindrum> madpilot:they were down but now seem to work

[07:24] <IdleOne> us repos work fine
[07:27] <johng> can anyone tell my if ubuntu edgy's PHP uses the system GD library, or the GD library included in the source distro of PHP5?
[07:30] <Prez> where in edgy can I check default programs for certain file types?
[07:30] <Prez> for example, I want mplayer to be default program for mpeg files, whre do i change that?
[07:36] <umista> can i install linux sever from the live CD?
[07:37] <umista> can i install linux sever from the live CD?
[07:38] <Tomcat_> umista: No.
[07:38] <Tomcat_> umista: With some complications, yes... but it's not recommended.
[07:38] <Bearcat> so does anyone know how to get tooltips inside gnome apps for cut off text?
[07:40] <umista> dam so wht do i have to dl to install server
[07:42] <Bearcat> umista: i think there is a server cd download on the main download page
[07:42] <umista> yea just looking now
[07:46] <AltrdBeast> i have edgy on a thinkpad
[07:47] <AltrdBeast> wired network worked out of the box
[07:47] <AltrdBeast> after typing in my ssid (wouldn't search for it)
[07:47] <AltrdBeast> wireless worked, although it seemed DNS looksups were a bit slow
[07:47] <AltrdBeast> but now, it seems that any tcp packet is being dropped
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> for both wired and wireless connections
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> i say tcp only, because I can ping servers
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> but anything http hangs
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> using both firefox and curl
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> i have no idea how to troubleshoot this
[07:48] <AltrdBeast> everything looks good
[07:48] <ct12am> What is the best way to give my user root priveleges, kubuntu dapper
[07:49] <ct12am> Because my sound pooped out
[07:49] <ct12am> And it's permissions
[07:49] <AltrdBeast> i'm allocated an ip, but it just doesn't do anything
[07:49] <ct12am> And I wield chmod like a jock
[07:49] <ct12am> tonight
[07:49] <AltrdBeast> ideas?
[07:49] <crimsun> ct12am: ls -l /dev/snd/control*
[07:49] <ct12am> thank you sir
[07:49] <crimsun> ct12am: that doesn't give your user root privs; that's diagnostic info for me.
[07:50] <ct12am> yah, but I didn't know where that was...
[07:50] <ct12am> crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 2006-12-04 01:10 /dev/snd/controlC0
[07:50] <AltrdBeast> any ideas how to troubleshoot network issues?
[07:50] <crimsun> ct12am: what's the name of your user?
[07:50] <ct12am> ct
[07:51] <AltrdBeast> the only thing I did was add a few apps with synaptic
[07:51] <ct12am> I really like ubuntu
[07:51] <AltrdBeast> i think i added vlc, gxine, and totem-xine
[07:51] <ct12am> I started with slackware
[07:51] <crimsun> ct12am: groups ct |grep audio 2>&1 >/dev/null ; echo $?
[07:51] <AltrdBeast> but i've removed them all since, still no difference
[07:51] <ct12am> n
[07:51] <ct12am> N
[07:51] <AltrdBeast> i also periodically get HAL errors on startup (when first logging in)
[07:51] <AltrdBeast> it is likely related
[07:51] <ct12am> oh whoops
[07:51] <ct12am> disregard
[07:51] <crimsun> ct12am: it should return 0 or 1
[07:52] <ct12am> that returned 1
[07:52] <AltrdBeast> nobody has any ideas?
[07:52] <AltrdBeast> no network people out there?
[07:52] <crimsun> ct12am: sudo adduser ct audio
[07:52] <crimsun> ct12am: then log out and back in
[07:52] <AltrdBeast> i was hoping it was just a wireless issue but i just plugged it in and the result is the same
[07:53] <sindrum> i have no idea on the network thing maybe try ubuntuforums...iv had good luck there
[07:53] <ct12am> ok brb
[07:53] <AltrdBeast> ok, trying there now
[07:55] <francis> how to install yahoo messenger on ubuntu
