[09:06] <org_> gonzoism, cool i'll give it a shot
[09:06] <gonzoism> org_  want some commands to compile asciiquarium ?
[09:06] <beni> org_: I'm having a nvidia gfx card and installed steam via wine, it worked like a charm I was lucky :)
[09:06] <caravel> help! (Feisty) smbclient works, but nautilus does not show up any network share -- what could be wrong ?
[09:06] <org_> gonzoism, yeah please, but i'm right now installing few files for Kde
[09:06] <antek> hi all
[09:06] <bernier> Hi, my sound is working, but there's a huge "screechy cracking sound" when I play music and there's bass, I have SB live! 24 bit
[09:07] <beni> !open-arena | apbbaker
[09:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about open-arena - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:07] <org_> beni, i will do that ina few seconds ;)
[09:07] <org_> or rather minutes
[09:07] <beni> !wine | org_
[09:07] <ubotu> org_: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:07] <Soskel> i need to speak with mark shuttleworth
[09:07] <Wilson29thID> is wpa-domain valid?
[09:07] <SpotSec> what's the status of compiz fusion? is it mostly usable?
[09:07] <org_> beni i have it, latest version
[09:07] <antek> wifi
[09:07] <org_> i just installed wow perfectly, it works great
[09:07] <apbbaker> Does anyone know how to trigger the KDE or GNOME  screensaver from a script?  Got a mad idea :)
[09:07] <brad_> amio: All I'm aware of for doing it yourself would be using a tool like Norton Ghost which comes with some recovery tools. Depending on the file system and other things though, it may just be impossible.
[09:08] <beni> org_: ok, then just a) Download the steam installer or b) run the Install Script from your CD with wine
[09:08] <gonzoism> org_ i'm gonna /msg it to ya, okay ?
[09:08] <beni> org_: so "wine Setup.exe" or stuff
[09:08] <org_> gonzoism, kay
[09:08] <amio> brad_ but I dont have an image of ghost just I formated all pc at all and before I also had ubuntu installed but 7.10 now back to 7.4 so there is some way?
[09:09] <snoogie> I am looking for alpha-tester : https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/scleaner/ thanks :)
[09:09] <gonzoism> org_ get it ?
[09:09] <org_> gonzoism, yep thanks alot mate
[09:09] <org_> gonzoism, what WM do you use
[09:10] <g0rd0n> i have a problem: installed 7.10 beta, but it seems like soundcards are not detected. i have an on-board AC97, and a soundblaster x-fi, both don't work, only the usb phone works but i can't select any other device...
[09:10] <g0rd0n> any ideas?
[09:10] <beni> snoogie: What does scleaner do? Just remove logfiles?
[09:10] <brad_> amio: I know, I'm just saying Ghost comes with a recovery tool. It's primary function is for image mangement, yes, but it comes with a tool that can recover data... sometimes. But again, it depends on the file systems. I've only used it with windows/fat32.
[09:10] <snoogie> for the moment : find log files, kernels and backup files
[09:10] <snoogie> but I just start it recently :)
[09:11] <snoogie> I need feeback on installation under various platforms :)
[09:11] <gonzoism> org_  i use fluxbox, and its awesome.  been using if for like 5 years or so.  i spent a year with gnome not too long back.  really happy to be back in flux
[09:11] <snoogie> and for the moment you can't del any files but create a tbz2 archive of them
[09:11] <amio> brad_ but I have lvm
[09:11] <beni> !fluxbox > beni
[09:11] <beni> snoogie: hm..
[09:11] <org_> gonzoism, ah yea fluxbox runs smooth, cause its not heavy. but thing is you can't put shortcuts in desktop
[09:12] <Soskel> who is dem peoples in the circle: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/book/book/ubuntubook-ch3-html/3-6.png
[09:12] <snoogie> beni, hm ?

[09:13] <org_> beni, ok thanks for the assist, take care
[09:14] <beni> Soskel: i was joking ;)
[09:14] <beni> org_: hope i could help, AND that it'll work ;) cheers
[09:14] <Soskel> but do they no ther are having their pic taken
[09:14] <Soskel> ?
[09:15] <amio> is ther any way to data recovery after formating hdd
[09:15] <apbbaker> Soskel, why do you need to speak to Mark?
[09:15] <Soskel> amio: yes
[09:15] <gonzoism> ok.  i chose moblock to block with the peerGuardian lists, and its not that bad, but i don't like it.  anyone else using anything else ?
[09:15] <xen_> olleh, hey im having trouble running a .jar application, im getting: ERROR: A signal file from a previous run exists No candidate processes found: it is probably safe to remove the signal file.
[09:15] <Soskel> i need to speak to mark shuttleworth
[09:15] <apbbaker> Soskel: he's not that hard to get hold of, but he's immensely busy
[09:15] <xen_> where are the signal files located?
[09:15] <Soskel> whats his irc nick
[09:16] <Soskel> what is he busy with
[09:16] <ompaul> Soskel, then you should address him via Canonical
[09:16] <amio> Soskel please tell me how with details I had ubuntu bfore then I formated and lost many important files how to get them back
[09:16] <MoNsTeR> hey guys i need some help with making it so my computer never goes to sleep or hibernates
[09:16] <apbbaker> Soskel: it's called Ubuntu :-)
[09:16] <rocketman> Is there a channel for "Newbies"?
[09:16] <gnomefreak> rocketman: your there
[09:16] <apbbaker> Soskel: but he's doing a bit more than that
[09:16] <ompaul> !ask | rocketman
[09:16] <ubotu> rocketman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:16] <Soskel> amio: you need to burn disk recovery software to a disk, and then boot from the disk
[09:17] <Soskel> i need to ask him how do i install kubuntu
[09:17] <gonzoism> amio you can do it.  its a pain, really.  at www.tldp.org there is a undelete howto or something in the Howtos.
[09:17] <Rizzla> how do i move the icons around in what woudl be considered the system tray?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> Soskel: same way you do ubuntu
[09:17] <ompaul> !install | Soskel
[09:17] <ubotu> Soskel: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[09:17] <MasterShrek> Soskel, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:17] <Soskel> ah
[09:17] <Soskel> tanks
[09:17] <MasterShrek> yup
[09:17] <Soskel> what abot xubuntu
[09:17] <gnomefreak> same way
[09:17] <apbbaker> Soskel: what's wrong with the rest of the planet?  Kubuntu wasn't that hard to install for me, so what's the problem?
[09:17] <MasterShrek> xubuntu-desktop i think
[09:17] <MoNsTeR> Soskel, why dont you just install ubuntu then install kde?
[09:17] <gonzoism> amio you need to shutdown that computer asap and reboot into a live cd, or something that won't be writing over those files
[09:17] <rocketman> I want to know how to backup my configuration files for Evolution, Firefox Bookmarks, etc...I know how to backup /Home docs, etc..
[09:18] <Soskel> alrighty
[09:18] <Soskel> thanks
[09:18] <whileimhere> New question is there a distro of linux that installs just the basic x desktop?
[09:18] <Soskel> sorry, i am from north korea, i don't speak good
[09:18] <Rizzla> can anyone help me figure out why on my top bar my shutdown button/date/etc is not pinned to the right?
[09:18] <ompaul> MoNsTeR, kde +ubuntu  != kubuntu
[09:18] <tretle_> is it possible to get ubuntu to stop sending power to a drive(shut off the drive" when you unmount it?
[09:18] <gonzoism> Soskel there is a tasksel command.  check it out, sudo tasksel.  that is how i install LAMP
[09:18] <Rizzla> its sort of in the middle and i can move it
[09:18] <Soskel> ahjhhj
[09:18] <Soskel> thanks
[09:18] <Soskel> also
[09:18] <Soskel> 1 last thing
[09:18] <MatBoy> does someone know a fix for the rkdc not displaying toolbar after hiding ?
[09:18] <MoNsTeR> ompaul, its just a session tho not a hold o/s you can select from the login menu
[09:18] <apbbaker> Soskel: www.kubuntu.com
[09:19] <Soskel> i sent an email to my school reccomending eduubuntu, and they suspeneded me for making the request
[09:19] <gonzoism> Soskel you can install the kubuntu stuff with tasksel that way.  its like the same as having the cd.
[09:19] <MasterShrek> Soskel, are you serious?
[09:19] <dgjones> !offtopic | Soskel
[09:19] <ubotu> Soskel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:19] <Seveas> Soskel, trolls are welcome in /dev/null
[09:19] <apbbaker> Soskel: wow..
[09:19] <MatBoy> Soskel, suspended ? in what way ?
[09:19] <xen_> ompaul: and why is kde + ubuntu != kubuntu
[09:19] <Soskel> i can give details in pm
[09:19] <amio> gonzois but i already formated the pc and nw ubuntu is runing again new installation so it would work by the live cd to get old data before formatting back?
[09:19] <Soskel> i don't want to get banned from this channel
[09:20] <tretle_> anyone?
[09:20] <Soskel> MatBoy: i got suspended from the computers for my entire highschool carrier
[09:20] <MoNsTeR> hey guys i need some help with making it so my computer never goes to sleep or hibernates
[09:20] <Rizzla> anyone?
[09:20] <gonzoism> Soskel drop out and educate yourself.  when you grow up, pretty much all you will have is your education...
[09:20] <JanWinnicki> will virtualbox let me run existing windows installation, or is installing it one more time is the only choice?
[09:20] <apbbaker> Seveas: I'm intrigued - what leads you to suspect Soskel is a troll?  Is there something we don't know?
[09:20] <dgjones> !anyone
[09:20] <amio> Soskel you said that to me about giving details in pm? then do so please but how to open pm
[09:20] <MasterShrek> i dont think so tretle_, maybe using hdparm, but i dont konw for sure
[09:20] <MatBoy> Soskel, sew them, what a suckers
[09:20] <Rizzla> seems like a simple drag would move them but its not
[09:20] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:20] <apbbaker> (just wondering)
[09:20] <ompaul> xen_, (A) gnome on the machine at the same time, the (B) kdm is not default (C) and I said so earlier ;-)
[09:20] <amio> gonzoism but i already formated the pc and nw ubuntu is runing again new installation so it would work by the live cd to get old data before formatting back?
[09:21] <MoNsTeR> Rizzla, right click then then select move
[09:21] <xen_> ompaul: and you cant uninstall the gnome DE after installing KDE?
[09:21] <Seveas> xen_, sure you can
[09:21] <gonzoism> amio yes, but you want to shut it down and boot off of live cd as soon as possible.  you are mounted in read-write  and its writing over where those files use to be.  they are getting written over, which DESTROYS them.
 wouldnt it be more power efficient to stop power from going to the drive when you unmount it?
[09:21] <Rizzla> Monster.. thanks
[09:21] <MoNsTeR> kde is ugly
[09:22] <ompaul> xen_, it is not the same as installing kubuntu, no debate, not saying you can't get there from here, just saying they ae not the same thing
[09:22] <Seveas> xen_, nothing will force you to keep it installed :)
[09:22] <MoNsTeR> Rizzla, your welcome i just didnt see you question earlier
[09:22] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, desktop wars to /dev/null please
[09:22] <MatBoy> Seveas, but really that was not that odd in language, I think it's more odd that you are suspended because of you know something wonderfull
[09:22] <xen_> ahh yup ok
[09:22] <gonzoism> amio there is a file recovery howto.  i've done it before and gotten a very small file off of a huge disk when i needed to once.  it works.
[09:22] <edward_> does it matter if I run the ubuntu firewall ?
[09:22] <rocketman> Where can I find out how to backup configuration files for Evolution, etc, or make an image file of entire drive?
[09:22] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, no clue what that meant
[09:22] <ompaul> edward_, not needed unless you are running servers
[09:22] <edward_> ooo ok, thanks
[09:22] <MatBoy> Soskel, but strange maybe they are scared now they know you know linux :)
[09:23] <apbbaker> amio, anyone telling you that you stand a chance of getting your data back after a full format is leaving out that that is (a) work for experts and (b) absolutely not guaranteed.  Only if you left your data on another partition that has not been yet mounted do you stand a chance, but data recovery under those circumstances is even hard work for experts.
[09:23] <amio> gonzoism but how to get them from there? if I wont be able to access to hdd?
[09:23] <Seveas> rocketman, copying all of evolution: copy .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private and .evolution from your homedir to your backup
[09:23] <Seveas> !backup | rocketman
[09:23] <ubotu> rocketman: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[09:23] <gonzoism> amio you can access just like you can now...
[09:23] <xen_> !signal file | xen
[09:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about signal file - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:23] <Soskel> all I did was recommend edubuntu
[09:23] <gonzoism> amio the howto explains.  go to www.tldp.org and find the howto in that list. there might be 2 check them both out.
[09:23] <Rizzla> anyone have a easy guide for compiz on feisty using nvidia card?
[09:24] <Seveas> !compiz | Rizzla
[09:24] <ubotu> Rizzla: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:24] <MoNsTeR> Soskel, do you live in a foreign country they do do that some places
[09:24] <brobostigon> it might have something to do with the licensing they have with microsoft for there systems.
[09:24] <Rizzla> thanks
[09:24] <Seveas> Soskel, offtopic talk in other channels please...
[09:24] <Soskel> I live in new york
[09:24] <MatBoy> Soskel, hehe, I suggested it once to the headsystem of the UMC here, larger, very large hospital... now he installed Xubuntu :)
[09:25] <Soskel> :)
[09:25] <Soskel> you got a raise i bet
[09:25] <MatBoy> and he is happy too :)
[09:25] <xen_> !sensor | xen_
[09:25] <MoNsTeR> Soskel, then that doesnt sound right
[09:25] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, why you have to kick him
[09:25] <org_> can terminal be Trans?
[09:25] <plushfrog> my sound card is not recognized... what can i do to get sound on my laptop?
[09:25] <MatBoy> Seveas, what have you drunk ?
[09:25] <HOF> can someone help me with Wubi installation problems please?
[09:25] <amio> gonzoism thanks I will see there
[09:25] <Rugmonster> hello all. Let me say first off that I've built custom kernel packages in the past with make-kpkg, but I can't figure out how to get things going with the xen-source source package. I need to add acl support to nfs on my xen kernel.
[09:25] <ompaul> MoNsTeR, he is offtopic this is a support channel
[09:25] <HOF> I get a plain blue screen during install
[09:25] <Seveas> MatBoy, MoNsTeR: I said: offtopic talk elsewhere
[09:25] <MatBoy> MoNsTeR, I don get it too
[09:26] <rocketman> Thank you Seveas and Ubotu
[09:26] <MatBoy> Seveas, nah, it not that much traffic at this moment
[09:26] <MatBoy> it's

[09:26] <org_> anybody know how to make Terminal Transpo?
[09:26] <Seveas> MatBoy, that makes no difference...
[09:26] <Cenatar> Ok, I had an error and is following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588 and of course I must have missed this when I installed:
[09:26] <Cenatar> If you choose to install from the LiveCD, you must make the following modifications (or else your installed system will not be able to boot, just like the LiveCD):
[09:26] <Cenatar> o Make note of the device id of the partitions that were used to install (such as /dev/hda1)
[09:26] <ompaul> MatBoy, not an issue, you are now offtopic, this is not a ubuntu topic ...
[09:26] <MoNsTeR> ompaul, nobodies helping me so we decided to talk
[09:27] <xen_> hey ubotu im having trouble running a .jar application, im getting: ERROR: A signal file from a previous run exists No candidate processes found: it is probably safe to remove the signal file.
[09:27] <MatBoy> Seveas, it just how flexible you are in life
[09:27] <Cenatar> how do I make note of the device id?
[09:27] <MoNsTeR> hey guys i need some help with making it so my computer never goes to sleep or hibernates
[09:27] <xen_> how do i find the signal files ubotu?

[09:28] <Cenatar> Not possible?
[09:28] <KaoZ> Anyone know why a LAN connection would not show up?
[09:28] <apbbaker> Where do I find instructions on creating a modified Ubuntu LiveCD?  The idea is to add documentation to it and a fully functional website (joomla or something) so it's a boot-and-go webserver and office desktop
[09:28] <plushfrog> the only distro out of more than TEN that i installed, which will recognize my sound card and use it, is freespire. how is it any different?
[09:28] <HOF> org_, transparent?
[09:28] <amio> gonzoism is this something I can do because I dont understand anything from there there is almost nothing see this http://www.tldp.org/log/?q=node/1102
[09:29] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, let me rephrase that i wasnt looking for the right thing
[09:29] <brobostigon> does it show up in ifconfig
[09:29] <org_> HOF, the thing that make it show the background
[09:29] <org_> of the desktop
[09:29] <gonzoism> amio, i'll give you a link.
[09:29] <HOF> org_, Yes

[09:29] <ompaul> !compile > ajaxx (see message from ubotu)
[09:29] <org_> HOF, how pls
[09:29] <Seveas> apbbaker, I think there is some info about that on wiki.ubuntu.com, search for live cd customization howto
[09:29] <HOF> org_, I don't know :(
[09:29] <Vuen> hey guys, i'm trying to use qemu to emulate an operating system, but the networking isn't working. anyone know what's wrong?
[09:29] <apbbaker> Thnx - digging now ..
[09:29] <org_> HOF, ok >_<
[09:29] <Cenatar> Hrm, will try to make the question clearer. How do I see what device driver I installed my live cd installation to, I'm still in the live cd and cannot exit as I'm following that error fixing guide?

[09:31] <gonzoism> amio http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html
[09:31] <GregerG> How do you close the Ubuntu GUI so you just have the cmd prompt?
[09:31] <MoNsTeR> also does anybody know how to put stuff in my servers folder
[09:32] <MoNsTeR> and do i need a firewall
[09:32] <tussey> jesus christ why is it such a hassle to listen to mp3s and play DVDs on ubuntu?
[09:32] <poningru> GregerG: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:32] <MoNsTeR> and if o what one should i get
[09:32] <tussey> this is why linux suffers
[09:32] <plushfrog> i have no sound on my laptop. the card isnt even recognized
[09:32] <Vuen> GregerG: you can use ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to a virtual terminal. remember ctrl+alt+F7 to get back!
[09:32] <gonzoism> GregerG ctrl-alt-F1  or you can edit /etc/inittab to make it not use gdm or xdm or kdm or whatever.  its the default runlevel one.
[09:32] <poningru> tussey: how is it a hassle
[09:32] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, you have a firewall :)
[09:32] <Xero> MoNsTeR, Ubuntu doesn't really need a firewall, but if you want one, go ahead.
[09:32] <poningru> double click on an mp3
[09:32] <Seveas> !firewall | MoNsTeR
[09:32] <ubotu> MoNsTeR: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[09:32] <amio> gonzoism thanks
[09:32] <kst-> any LaTeX experts here? should i go for tetex or texlive or both?
[09:33] <MoNsTeR> thanks Seveas
[09:33] <Vuen> kst-: texlive
[09:33] <stephen> Hey. I cant get my ATI drivers to install properly. I got the installer working it just keeps telling methat i have to override the detected version using the following syntax: X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]
[09:33] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, can you help me with my other problem
[09:33] <apbbaker> Monster: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ (duh) :)
[09:33] <gonzoism> xerxesv5  check out /etc/modules
[09:33] <kst-> Vuen do i even need tetex then?
[09:33] <Devourer> What is the .deb package of the Teamspeak server called?
[09:33] <Vuen> kst-: definitely do not install tetex. if you have plenty of bandwidth, just install texlive-full
[09:33] <ompaul> kst-, there is #latex
[09:33] <MoNsTeR> apbbaker, i alreadsy got the link
[09:33] <stephen> anyone have an idea?
[09:33] <kst-> ok Vuen ... is there a way to install it in a custom dir? i dont want it on my linux partition but on my home partition :)
[09:33] <Vuen> why?
[09:33] <Seveas> kst-, debian is replacing tetex with texlive. That makes me think texlive is preferrable
[09:34] <gonzoism> ok, does anyone here use something like Peer Gaurdian or moblock or iplist ?
[09:34] <MoNsTeR> also does anybody know how to put stuff in my servers folder it says i dont have permision how could i move my folder to my desktop or something
[09:34] <Vuen> kst-: that seems silly. it's like a hundred megs.
[09:34] <kst-> well my linux partition is slowly but surely getting full
[09:34] <Alex__> Hi, how can I install Nvidia driver using the terminal, the driver is in my pendrive but I don't know how to access
[09:34] <gonzoism> MoNsTeR best to use sudo for copying stuff to it
[09:34] <Seveas> !nvidia > Alex__
[09:34] <GregerG> If crl+alt+F1 only give a virtual terminal and ctrl+alt+F7 gets you right back does Ubuntu not work like most linux??   I'm used to having to type startX after booting...    ??
[09:34] <Vuen> kst-: hmm, well you can just install the texlive base, which would probably only be like 20 megs
[09:34] <Electrosys> is there a simple irc client available that kind of runs in the background but allows me to use simple shell scripting to interact with the servers and channels?
[09:34] <Alex__> Seveas I don't understand
[09:35] <gonzoism> MoNsTeR sudo cp whatever.txt /var/www/  or whatever.
[09:35] <fliegenderfrosch> Vuen, any reason why texlive? (i always use tetex, but for no specific reason)
[09:35] <kst-> Vuen but then i'll hardly be able to compile any tex documents, right?
[09:35] <Seveas> Alex__, ubotu sent you the info
[09:35] <hetauma> any ideas why I can't read or create files with greek characters in ntfs partitions while I can in ext3 ?
[09:35] <MoNsTeR> gonzoism, thanks alot
[09:35] <Vuen> GregerG: no, you don't need to startX. ubuntu has an init script called /etc/init.d/gdm which starts x and runs a login manager
[09:35] <apbbaker> Cheers.
[09:35] <gonzoism> hetauma because ntfs sucks ?  :)  couldn't resist....
[09:35] <Tomcat_> hetauma: Wrong character set when mounting the NTFS drive I guess...
[09:36] <Electrosys> hetauma: ext3 is much better than NTFS and NTFS was created and it proprioritized by an american english speaking company.
[09:36] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, why dont you unban soskel
[09:36] <GregerG> okay thx
[09:36] <Alex__> don't understand
[09:36] <Vuen> fliegenderfrosch: tetex is older, it's not being really maintained anymore afaik
[09:36] <Alex__> Hi, how can I install Nvidia driver using the terminal, the driver is in my pendrive but I don't know how to access
[09:36] <Kohlrabi> I have tweo questions
[09:36] <Vuen> fliegenderfrosch: it's being obsoleted by texlive
[09:36] <hellhound_> how do you edit the kernel config?
[09:36] <Kohlrabi> first: KnetworkManager won't show my wlan-device anymore
[09:36] <Seveas> hellhound_, depends on what you mean with kernel config
[09:36] <poningru> Alex__: is it a .deb?
[09:36] <Kohlrabi> I installed the driver via ndiswrapper
[09:36] <poningru> or the binary?
[09:36] <rickyticky> does anyone know if you can download JeOS?
[09:36] <fliegenderfrosch> Vuen, ok thanks, in that case i'll use texlive for any further installations
[09:36] <Alex__> it's .run
[09:37] <Electrosys> kohlrabi: wifi can be tricky.. wired networks always work.
[09:37] <hetauma> Tomcat_, there is no character set in fstab what should I put ?
[09:37] <gonzoism> GregerG yeah, /etc/inittab is the file that chooses whether to go into X or console at boot time.  its the default runlevel.
[09:37] <Seveas> Alex__, don't use that...
[09:37] <hetauma> Electrosys, good point :S
[09:37] <Soskel> hi
[09:37] <Kohlrabi> Electrosys: I know that, but that's no solution
[09:37] <poningru> Alex__: why are you using that?
[09:37] <Soskel> http://pastebin.ca/720875
[09:37] <Tomcat_> hetauma: Well... either UTF-8 or the greek character set... ISO-8859-<something>.
[09:37] <Seveas> Alex__, ubuntu has a very nice driver manager in system -> administration
[09:37] <poningru> !nvidia
[09:37] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:37] <Alex__> cause is what I downloaded from nvidia site
[09:37] <Vuen> fliegenderfrosch: yeah, if you already have tetex it's fine, but you may come across a package eventually that isn't supported by tetex. as far as i know it's being phased out in favor of texlive in all linux distributions.
[09:37] <krunk-> when ubuntu livecd installs grub it changes my disk label from msdos to gpt....anyone know of a work around for this or how to convert it back?
[09:37] <Kohlrabi> telling me your OS can't cope with wireless networking isn't exactly clever :)
[09:37] <Tomcat_> hetauma: I don't use NTFS so I can't really suggest anything. But this is the problem I think.
[09:37] <BUDD}{A> ok if my ati card was not working would a be able to run beryl?
[09:38] <fliegenderfrosch> Vuen, ok thanks
[09:38] <poningru> Alex__: do you have anything in system->administrator->restricted driver manager?
[09:38] <hellhound_> Seveas: I need to enable "CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER" "CONFIG_USB_USBNET" and "CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST" in the kernel
[09:38] <hetauma> Tomcat_, I think UTF-8 works fine
[09:38] <krunk-> reverse that, from gpt to msdos
[09:38] <GregerG> I need to do some programming..  I'm probably going to use gcc in a terminal and use some kind of textpad to write source.    I don't like big IDE's.   A simple text editer that knows how to colour text from programming would be nice.  Anyone know of one?
[09:38] <Alex__> I'm using terminal, I have no graphic interface
[09:39] <Vuen> Alex__: oh dear, you definitely don't need to install that
[09:39] <Hilikus> hey guys
[09:39] <BUDD}{A> ok if my ati card was not working would a be able to run beryl?
[09:39] <Seveas> hellhound_, those are enabled in the ubuntu config
[09:39] <Seveas> as modules
[09:39] <Vuen> Alex__: and if you do, you'll lose any restricted-modules that are needed by your system
[09:39] <Hilikus> how do i find which package has an app i need?
[09:39] <Kohlrabi> second: I tried to install another wireless driver, but it requires me to rebuild the kernel. When I try to do that it misses some file "msr.c". There exists an msr.ko in kernel-image-xyz, so obviously there is a way to build msr
[09:39] <Seveas> GregerG, gedit
[09:39] <AndyC1> I'm running Unreal Tournament 2004 on Feisty, and the mouse and keyboard doesn't respond at all except in the menu, where it works fine
[09:39] <Alex__> How can I mount a pendrive using terminal?
[09:39] <Vuen> Alex__: instead, do this: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
[09:39] <fliegenderfrosch> Hilikus: type it in the terminal, ubuntu will suggest the package
[09:39] <Linarita> hola
[09:39] <Hilikus> i need audiotestsrc
[09:40] <Alex__> let me try
[09:40] <BUDD}{A> anyone
[09:40] <GregerG> Seveas how do i respond to you so it highlights like it did for me    /msg  Seveas or something?
[09:40] <xerxesv5> modules loaded at startup... how do I edit the order?
[09:40] <brad_> guys, i'm running 7.04.  want to install the canon ip1500 printer.  its fully supported, http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP1500    they say i should use the canon driver.  i downloaded it, but i'm having a hard time getting it to work.  i know my printer works though.
[09:40] <hetauma> Tomcat_, I just add iocharset=utf8 ?
[09:40] <DerangedDingo> Hilikus: Synaptic can tell you if you right click on the package in question and go through the properties, such as included packages, and extra packages
[09:40] <Seveas> GregerG, no just say a nickname and the client of that person can highlight it
[09:40] <Vuen> Alex__: generally, you shouldn't install drivers from the nvidia site, because ubuntu packages them for you.
[09:40] <brad_> any ideas?
[09:40] <Tomcat_> hetauma: No idea. Try it? :)
[09:40] <Seveas> GregerG, for instance, that line of yours was highlighted here :)
[09:40] <Hilikus> DerangedDingo no, i dont know which package contains that application
[09:40] <tussey> Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.
[09:40] <Hilikus> thats what i need to find out
[09:41] <tussey> I've installed everything on the wiki
[09:41] <`assioma`> hi, setting gotmail it produces this message: Page doesn't contain any form action field!  How does it mean?
[09:41] <GregerG> Seveas so is there a way to set gedit to colour source code?
[09:41] <DerangedDingo> Hilikus: Which application are you looking for?
[09:41] <drew> .
[09:41] <Seveas> GregerG, it does that by default
[09:41] <dgjones> !dvd | tussey
[09:41] <ubotu> tussey: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[09:41] <Hilikus> audiotestsrc
[09:41] <rickyticky> Anyone know where to get jeOS?
[09:41] <poningru> tussey: you probably didnt run the script
[09:41] <DerangedDingo> Hilikus: Couldn't you just search for the package in ubuntu's repo's?
[09:41] <GregerG> Seveas   Haha       it sure does    thx
[09:42] <poningru> thats a problem with the movie industry they put drm on the dvd
[09:42] <MasterShrek> tussey, install xine or vlc, much better than totem
[09:42] <Hilikus> i did, its not a package, its in SOME package, but i dont know which one
[09:42] <Seveas> rickyticky, ask canonical or vmware, jeos isn't ubuntu :)
[09:42] <AndyC1> I'm running Unreal Tournament 2004 on Feisty, and the mouse and keyboard doesn't respond at all except in the menu, where it works fine
[09:42] <Hilikus> i think its part of some gstreamer package
[09:42] <Alex__> the thing is that I was working fine, but for some reason I couldn't start ubuntu again with graphic interface, instead i'm working with terminal I'm trying to fix that, I think is nvidia drivers, but it can be anything
[09:43] <rickyticky> Thanks Seveas!
[09:43] <J-_> !xorg | stephen
[09:43] <MasterShrek> Alex__, did you do some upgrades? namely your kernel?
[09:43] <ubotu> stephen: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:43] <Hilikus> so that why im asking, im NOT searching for a package, im searching for SOMETHING that comes in a packege
[09:43] <Daramarak> I have Installed Ubuntu, but have XP on an other partition, how can I dual boot?
[09:43] <Alex__> Vuen, it didn't work
[09:43] <AndyC1> Daramarak: Ubuntu should have set that up in the install
[09:43] <Seveas> Daramarak, when installing ubuntu it should set that up
[09:43] <Alex__> don't want to install those packages
[09:44] <Seveas> unless you let ubuntu overwrite windows
[09:44] <Alex__> no}
[09:44] <Vuen> Alex__: how come?
[09:44] <org_> whats the command to update my manager things... it was something like "update -d manager" ?
[09:44] <org_> anybody know it
[09:44] <Alex__> i did nothing, I just made a backup from my database at postgresql, workin
[09:44] <Seveas> org_, update-manager -f
[09:44] <Seveas> org_, update-manager -d
[09:44] <Alex__> working on windows, then I returned to ubuntu
[09:44] <Seveas> (2nd is correct, sorry)
[09:45] <org_> Seveas, can you give me the site.. I forgot it
[09:45] <Alex__> and it didn't start anymore
[09:45] <org_> couldnt find it google either
[09:45] <Vuen> Alex__: hmm, sorry, i don't know
[09:45] <Seveas> org_, which site?
[09:45] <poningru> Alex__: oh hmm you dont have to do that
[09:45] <poningru> Alex__: any errors the x server gave?
[09:45] <Daramarak> Well, Ubuntu did not set up a dual boot. What to do then
[09:45] <org_> Seveas, oh not that site.
[09:45] <H3adshot3r> hmm
[09:45] <H3adshot3r> hi

[09:46] <Alex__> nope, after showing the loading screen (ubuntu image with the progress bar) it shows nvidia screen
[09:46] <H3adshot3r> ahh okay thx
[09:46] <poningru> Alex__: and it just hangs there?
[09:46] <Vuen> !ohmy|bernier
[09:46] <ubotu> bernier: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:46] <org_> btw how to enable transparent in XFCE?
[09:47] <poningru> lol
[09:47] <Alex__> }normally after that it shows login screen, but this time it didn't
[09:47] <poningru> Alex__: yech that means you installed the nvidia driver
[09:47] <g0rd0n> my soundblaster x-fi is not working on ubuntu 7.10, how can i enable it?
[09:47] <DerangedDingo> Hilikus: It is part of a gstreamer package.. I just googled it. I think it's in the 'base plugins' for gstreamer 10
[09:47] <hellhound_> Seveas: I get "FATAL: Module usbnet not found"  same for the other two as well
[09:47] <Alex__> no, I thought that I should install it because this error but before that I didn't do anything
[09:48] <Alex__> it stops working by itself
[09:48] <Alex__> no reasons
[09:48] <poningru> hmm
[09:48] <Alex__> stopped
[09:48] <JAMEZ> hi guys i have this problem "It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first."  been trying the said code still doesnt work
[09:48] <xbitflux> anyone know why a external usb 2.0 devices would work and show up under a ECHI port in usbview, but have read speeds of less than 600 kB/sec
[09:48] <org_> btw how to enable transparent in XFCE?
[09:48] <Vuen> Alex__: type this carefully into a console:    sudo sed -i 's/nvidia/nv/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:48] <BUDD}{A> ok if my ati card was not working would a be able to run beryl?
[09:48] <Seveas> hellhound_, are you using stock ubuntu kernels?
[09:49] <Vuen> Alex__: then type this:   sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[09:49] <poningru> can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:49] <org_> Seveas, ok i click on update manager, it says "Your system is up-to-date" but i still got Gaim, not pidgin. duh.
[09:49] <org_> Seveas, what should i do
[09:49] <poningru> err do what Vuen said
[09:49] <Seveas> org_, are you on feisty?
[09:49] <MasterShrek> org_, pidgin is not released in 7.04
[09:49] <Seveas> org_, feisty does not have gaim and never will
[09:49] <org_> im in 7.04
[09:49] <org_> ah ok
[09:50] <org_> I see.
[09:50] <MasterShrek> org_, you can add debuntu repositories and install it
[09:50] <poningru> org_: you have to wait till october 19 when gusty ;) comes out
[09:50] <org_> when is the best time to upgrade to 7.10?
[09:50] <xbitflux> feisty: why ?
[09:50] <Xero> What package is needed to fix this?: awn-window.c:109: error: WNCK_CLIENT_TYPE_PAGER undeclared (first use in this function)
[09:50] <`assioma`> hi, setting gotmail it produces this message: Page doesn't contain any form action field!  How does it mean?
[09:50] <Seveas> org_, october 19 or later
[09:50] <Vuen> Seveas: you mean feisty does not have pidgin? you said gaim :p
[09:50] <Seveas> Vuen, oops :)
[09:50] <org_> okay cool, gaim will work until then :)
[09:50] <plushfrog> why dont i have sound on my laptop?
[09:50] <Alex__> it returns "No such file or directory" after typing "sudo sed -i 's/nvidia/nv/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[09:50] <hellhound_> Seveas: yes i am running 2.6.20-16-generic
[09:50] <Vuen> side note, have pidgin finished implemented the msnp14 protocol yet?
[09:50] <Vuen> implementing*
[09:50] <poningru> Alex__: what??
[09:51] <DerangedDingo> Xero: are you trying to compile AWN?
[09:51] <Vuen> Alex__: woah.
[09:51] <Xero> DerangedDingo, yes.
[09:51] <poningru> Alex__: do an ls -la /etc/X11
[09:51] <Vuen> Alex__: are you sure you typed the filename in correctly?
[09:51] <Seveas> hellhound_, well, it exists in there: /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/net/usbnet.ko
[09:51] <LjL> Alex__: you didn't actually type the quotation marks did you? :)
[09:51] <Xero> I like bleeding edge, not frozen repos, DerangedDingo, so don't suggest a repo to me.
[09:51] <Alex__> is it x11?
[09:51] <poningru> no
[09:51] <poningru> X11
[09:52] <Alex__> ahhh
[09:52] <Vuen> Alex__: ahh, that explains it. in linux, *everything* is case sensitive
[09:52] <Alex__> OK
[09:52] <Seveas> Xero, then maybe gentoo is more appropriate for you :)
[09:52] <Xero> Seveas, I can't do Gentoo.  The SVN version might still need a patched version of it; I'm not sure, I haven't checked the main website in a while
[09:52] <hellhound_> Seveas: actually when i go to that directory i do not see usbnet.ko
[09:52] <poningru> HEY I resent that remark
[09:53] <Devourer> How do I cancel an action in the terminal?
[09:53] <poningru> gentoo can be as userfriendly as debian
[09:53] <ompaul> devnu11, ctrl c
[09:53] <ompaul> Devourer, ctrl c
[09:53] <Alex__> it returned subsection "display" depth 16 Modes "1280x1024"...etc
[09:53] <AndyC1> fixed
[09:53] <Alex__> several times
[09:53] <RichW> cd #openssl
[09:53] <RichW> oops
[09:53] <Seveas> hellhound_, then something fishy is going on on your system
[09:53] <Devourer> ompaul: Thanks.
[09:53] <AndyC1> cd ~/.ut2004 && rm -rf ~/.ut2004/*
[09:53] <poningru> Alex__: thats fine
[09:53] <Vuen> Alex__: that's very wierd, it shouldn't have returned anything. did you forget the -i option?
[09:53] <Xero> DerangedDingo, I've read that it no longer needs a patch, and nickrud, I have libwnck22 and libwnck-dev installed.
[09:53] <AndyC1> config was installed wrong
[09:54] <poningru> Vuen: 0.0???
[09:54] <poningru> are you sure?
[09:54] <hellhound_> Seveas: that is why i wanted to check the kernel config to see why they were not enabled.... do you know how?
[09:54] <Vuen> poningru: maybe i'm wrong >.<
[09:54] <poningru> checking
[09:54] <Alex__> Ok, i forgot that
[09:54] <poningru> EEEK
[09:54] <Seveas> hellhound_, look in /boot/config-*
[09:54] <poningru> you are right
[09:54] <Alex__> I typed it again and returned nothing
[09:54] <Vuen> good
[09:54] <Vuen> now do this:   sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[09:54] <Vuen> poningru: afaik sed does not output anything when you do --in-place
[09:55] <poningru> right
[09:55] <poningru> Vuen: I thought it did
[09:55] <poningru> just checked man pages
[09:55] <Kohlrabi> How can I obtain kernel sources for the current kernel?
[09:55] <DerangedDingo> Xero: I took another look at the error, and I think it actually might be a source code error; it might not be fixable by any package. have you googled?
[09:55] <Alex__> it is like when I try to start using interface and it just shows the cursor
[09:55] <hellhound_> Seveas: those are the kernel images aren't they.  I used to Gentoo and i could simply do "make menuconfig"
[09:55] <Alex__> and do nothing else
[09:55] <Seveas> Kohlrabi, apt-get source linux-source-`uname -r`
[09:56] <Kohlrabi> thanks
[09:56] <poningru> Alex__: but first can you do a cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:56] <Seveas> hellhound_, the config-* files are the configs
[09:56] <poningru> and pastebin that?
[09:56] <Seveas> hellhound_, and ubuntu isn't gentoo, don't forget that :)
[09:56] <RichW> How do I make a passwordless ssl cert and private key? it wont be used for ssh but for a web server
[09:56] <Alex__> no, I did what Vuen said
[09:56] <hellhound_> Sev
[09:56] <Seveas> RichW, openssl --gen-key
[09:56] <Seveas> and don't give it a password
[09:57] <Alex__> now it's like before, doesn't do anything
[09:57] <hellhound_> Seveas: yes I know the two are different... I like ubuntu much better and this has been my only problem
[09:57] <Seveas> RichW, hang on, I got that wrong :)
[09:57] <Vuen> Alex__: hmm, very strange. hold on
[09:57] <Alex__> finally I get smarty working well with php, and this error came from nowhere
[09:57] <Vuen> hey guys, what's the command to automatically rebuild the xorg.conf? the dpkg-reconfigure X11 or whatever?
[09:57] <ompaul> RichiH, what he wanted to say was ssh-keygen -t rsa :-)
[09:57] <poningru> yeah
[09:58] <Seveas> ompaul, no
[09:58] <ompaul> Seveas, I caught that
[09:58] <RichW> Seveas: ok, last time i attempted this it asks for at least 4 letters in pass
[09:58] <Alex__> I'm trying to become a regular ubuntu user, but this kind of things delay my work
[09:58] <Vuen> Alex__: try this:    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:58] <poningru> Alex__: do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:58] <Seveas> RichW, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#selfcert
[09:58] <poningru> right what he said
[09:59] <RichW> Alex__: Im a pro php coder.. can i help you?
[09:59] <Devourer> How do I find my IP in the terminal?
[09:59] <Seveas> Devourer, ip a l
[09:59] <Seveas> Devourer, or: ifconfig -a
[09:59] <brobostigon> ifconfig
[09:59] <Devourer> brobostigon: Thanks.
[09:59] <ompaul> Devourer, ifconfig -a (always better)
[09:59] <brobostigon> whats the difference
[10:00] <ompaul> brobostigon, some day you will need -a ;-) it finds cards if you don't have an ip on it
[10:00] <nickrud> ip a l fits on one screen for me :)
[10:00] <LjL> ompaul: yeah well except he asked for his *IP*... :P
[10:00] <Alex__> RichW let me try something before
[10:00] <Alex__> thanks
[10:01] <Alex__> Vuen what I do now?
[10:01] <poningru> Alex__: do the restart thing
[10:01] <Vuen> Alex__: now do this again:     sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[10:01] <Alex__> wait
[10:01] <Alex__> there's a package configuration screen
[10:01] <poningru> oh did it ask you for a bunch of questions?
[10:01] <poningru> yeah
[10:02] <Vuen> yep it should
[10:02] <poningru> answer them
[10:02] <Alex__> it asked me if wanna do somethin i chose yes
[10:02] <flamesrock> any ideas as to why Linux would run slow on a quad core?
[10:02] <RichW> Alex__: I missed your question so I cant help.
[10:02] <RivaeAerya> !firewall
[10:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:02] <RichW> flamesrock: be more specific
[10:02] <Seveas> flamesrock, the cores are all fighting for the work and nothing gets done?
[10:03] <flamesrock> my friend is telling me that it's slow for him
[10:03] <flamesrock> like it takes seconds to do stuff
[10:03] <happyfish> Hello, all!
[10:03] <flamesrock> and it's much faster in windows
[10:03] <poningru> flamesrock: only a billion different stuff
[10:03] <RichW> Seveas: thanks for help you always here helping people :)
[10:03] <Seveas> RichW, :)
[10:03] <Seveas> flamesrock, then tell your friend to be more specific :)
[10:03] <poningru> flamesrock: we have to narrow it down than that
[10:03] <plushfrog> i have no sound on this laptop, can someone help?
[10:04] <poningru> !sound plushfrog
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sound plushfrog - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <poningru> !sound | plushfrog
[10:04] <ubotu> plushfrog: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[10:04] <flamesrock> this is what he wrote
[10:04] <flamesrock> I'm not talking about synthetic benchmarks, they're useless. In vista, I have firefox open, I'm encoding a video, I'm running 4 virtual machines, I have several folders open and everything works smoothly. In Mandrake, as soon as I open HardDrake and firefox, the OS starts slowing down while it's processing the other two threads. This is with a quadcore and 2x 10k raptors RAID 0! I haven't tweaked either OS.
[10:04] <plushfrog> stop ubotuing me... those articles are useless
[10:04] <Alex__> failed to start x server
[10:04] <Ahadiel> bbl
[10:04] <Alex__> it's what it says
[10:04] <Vuen> hmm
[10:04] <Alex__> when i restarted
[10:05] <Vuen> that's really wierd
[10:05] <Seveas> flamesrock, mandriva isn't ubuntu
[10:05] <Seveas> go to #mandriva :)
[10:05] <flamesrock> lol
[10:05] <flamesrock> k
[10:05] <flamesrock> but any ideas, I don't like mandrake
[10:05] <c3LT1cFr05t> Anybody familiar with a program called "Sandboxie"?
[10:05] <Seveas> and if he's actually running mandrake: drag him into this century
[10:05] <Vuen> lol
[10:05] <flamesrock> lol
[10:05] <Alex__> any idea?
[10:05] <poningru> Alex__: whats the error?
[10:05] <Alex__> I'm really lost with this
[10:06] <Vuen> Alex__: me too >.<
[10:06] <plushfrog> does anyone know how to get ubuntu to detect sound card?
[10:06] <poningru> or cat /var/log/X.0.log
[10:06] <poningru> and tell us any errors you see in that
[10:06] <RichW> flamesrock: yes i do have a idea.. the latest kernel has a new scheduler which should handle tasks more efficiantly
[10:06] <Seveas> flamesrock, he's now comparing vista with something from the win'98 era -- that's not really fair
[10:06] <Vuen> Alex__: type this:    tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:06] <Alex__> failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly
[10:06] <RichW> flamesrock: I suggest he tried the gutsy beta
[10:06] <RichW> tries*
[10:07] <Vuen> flamesrock: it's also possible mandrake isn't using the SMP kernel
[10:07] <Alex__> would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?
[10:07] <poningru> yes
[10:07] <flamesrock> cool, thanks guys
[10:07] <hebrewfont> hi any idea how am i to chagne the BitchX-gtk to work with hebrew fonts ?
[10:07] <flamesrock> that SMP thing makes sense
[10:07] <Alex__> OK, I chose yes to all
[10:08] <ompaul> hebrewfont, ask in #ubuntu-il
[10:08] <hebrewfont> ok thanks
[10:08] <Alex__> restart?
[10:08] <poningru> Alex__: whats the error?
[10:08] <xalspaero> hey i have a second hard drive in my ubuntu system and its set to read only
[10:08] <xalspaero> how do i change this?
[10:08] <xalspaero> i cant modify any files
[10:09] <Vuen> xalspaero: what filesystem does it use?
[10:09] <Alex__> it says that i should restart gdm or something like that
[10:09] <xalspaero> ntfs i think
[10:09] <c3LT1cFr05t> is there a stream radio irc around here or what?
[10:09] <poningru> Alex__: no dude read the entire thing
[10:09] <poningru> not something like that
[10:09] <Vuen> !ntfs-3g|xalspaero
[10:09] <xalspaero> maybe fat
[10:09] <ubotu> xalspaero: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:09] <Alex__> now I'm at the console again, the screen dissappear
[10:09] <poningru> you need to be more precise than this
[10:09] <poningru> sigh
[10:09] <poningru> do the restart thing
[10:09] <Alex__> OK
[10:10] <c3LT1cFr05t> can someone help tell me how to connect to a channel about streamcast?
[10:10] <poningru> Alex__: sudo /etc/init.d/?db restart
[10:11] <Vuen> poningru: dm, not db
[10:11] <poningru> err right
[10:11] <poningru> Alex__: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[10:11] <Vuen> Alex__:   or you can just hit the up arrow key a few times until the last time you typed it ;)
[10:12] <Orfeous> mhmm
[10:12] <poningru> I think he is physically restarting his machine
[10:12] <poningru> thats fine too
[10:12] <nomaS> hi, can i connecto to  a shell from Terminal?
[10:12] <RichW> nomaS: you mean like SSH?
[10:13] <c3LT1cFr05t> I had to switch back to XP 2 nights ago,I really miss the way the title bars retract and lower with the mouse scroll
[10:13] <nomaS> RichW: yes
[10:13] <RichW> nomaS: theres a ssh package in apt i believe
[10:14] <Seveas> RichW, it's even installed by default :)\
[10:14] <RichW> c3LT1cFr05t: I have no idea what your on about. you mean mouse over effects?
[10:14] <sureshot> hey i am sorry this off the the topic if there is any emulator people out there may i ask it you have the unresticted version linux or windows of the charon emulator
[10:14] <c3LT1cFr05t> I noticed right away after switching back to windwoes how much nicer the screen color etc looked though
[10:14] <Seveas> RichW, if you scroll your mouse wheel over the title bar of a window it will roll up the window (compiz does that)
[10:14] <RichW> Seveas: Only ssh client not server
[10:15] <Seveas> RichW, I think he only wants that :)
[10:15] <Seveas> c3LT1cFr05t, this channel is not about screencasting or windows. Could you please move offtopic talk to more appropriate channels?
[10:15] <RichW> Seveas: yeah thats cool
[10:16] <poningru> Seveas: I was under the impression metacity will do that
[10:16] <Alex__> I restarted
[10:16] <poningru> Alex__: and?
[10:16] <RichW> I think when gutsy is out, it will blow windows user's heads off :)
[10:16] <poningru> whats the error?
[10:16] <jerryb> Question: If I install Feisty over another install, where /home is a separate partition, will it erase /home?
[10:16] <Seveas> poningru, could be :)
[10:16] <c3LT1cFr05t>  here we go,why would you speak so derogatorily to a stranger whom is doing nothing whatsoever to you?
[10:17] <bruenig> RichW, except there is next to nothing in the way of innovation
[10:17] <Shane_> HEY
[10:17] <Willabee> Whenever I try to enable desktop effects on Feisty, my entire screen goes white
[10:17] <Seveas> jerryb, not unless you tell it to
[10:17] <kane77> how do I backup my whole partition? I tried dd but it copies whole partition (it's 15GB partition with only actually 3.8GB used)
[10:17] <Willabee> but I still see my mouse
[10:17] <poningru> kane77: use clonezilla
[10:17] <digin4> hey, i'm getting
[10:17] <jerryb> Seveas, Ok, thkx.  I have to since trying to upgrade to gutsy hosed my system
[10:17] <Seveas> !backup | kane77
[10:17] <ubotu> kane77: There are many ways to back your system up.

[10:17] <Alex__> now it shows the error Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It's likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
[10:17] <poningru> kane77: or use tar
[10:17] <Alex__> the same as before
[10:17] <poningru> Alex__: now press yes
[10:17] <sureshot> well thanks for letting me ask the question
[10:18] <poningru> and tell us what the xserver output is
[10:18] <Alex__> OK?
[10:18] <RichW> c3LT1cFr05t: Its more skinnable and customisable than you think.. you want to see my desktop?
[10:18] <Alex__> X window System Version 7.2.0
[10:18] <digin4> hey, i'm getting "checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" when i try to compile a program from source code, even though i have gcc any idea if the src works on linux
[10:18] <Seveas> !compiling | digin4
[10:18] <ubotu> digin4: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:18] <Alex__> the whole thing?
[10:18] <xenol_> please can i disable KDE options on GNOME?
[10:19] <poningru> Alex__: any errors on there
[10:19] <c3LT1cFr05t> ill tell you what i won't miss are the attitudes on this channel,half of you got beat up and back slapped your entire pathetic lives you think you can hide behind a computer and catch attitudes with somebody you wouldn't do it to in person
[10:19] <bluefox83> how do you make irssi fetch it's ip from the server it connects to?
[10:19] <Seveas> xenol_, you mean remove items from the applications menu?
[10:19] <poningru> there should be a few lines that are the errors
[10:19] <Jeste1> hello everyone.. very new to linux and to ubuntu, I was wondering how to log into my root account, or at least set it up to be able to from the login screen.
[10:19] <xenol_> Seveas: yes but keep kde installed
[10:19] <sn0w> does anyone know if there is software for ubuntu that i can use to make database designs with (erd) ?
[10:19] <bascule> why does apt-get always hang for a sizeable time on 'waiting for headers' is it my selected server?
[10:20] <Alex__> you say that I should tell you what says the first screen after I press yes?
[10:20] <Seveas> xenol_, rightclick on the word applications and select 'edit menus'
[10:20] <bluefox83> Jeste1, you don't log in as root, that's not safe, use sudo
[10:20] <adrian_> How do I install in terminal the Kubuntu KDE so that I can switch between sessions
[10:20] <Xenguy> Jeste1: try: sudo -i
[10:20] <kane77> poningru, do you mean to tar my whole drive? will it work if I later decide to restore ubuntu from it?
[10:20] <Seveas> bascule, probably
[10:20] <Alex__> cause it talks about the version
[10:20] <Alex__> then the release date
[10:20] <xenol_> Seveas: thats all?
[10:20] <poningru> Alex__: can you pastebin the whole thing then?
[10:20] <poningru> !pastebin | Alex__
[10:20] <ubotu> Alex__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:20] <bascule> Seveas: OK, it downloads at totaly normal speeds once going, but seems to take a while for headers
[10:20] <Seveas> xenol_, well, you still have to disable them in that menu editor ;)
[10:21] <Alex__> no, because I can paste Ishould read and write this is another computer
[10:21] <Jeste1> kk, then it won't be a problem if i'm trying to install wine or something? I dont' have to be logged in as root to install say uo with wine? (just came from fedora core 7)
[10:21] <Alex__> I can't paste
[10:21] <xenol_> Seveas: k
[10:21] <poningru> Alex__: I just need the error dude
[10:21] <poningru> it should have after a bunch of information
[10:21] <digin4> when i do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" i get "E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate" what's wrong? ;o
[10:21] <poningru> just the error
[10:21] <Alex__> it says something about markers}(--)ok
[10:21] <killux> how can i password protect a certain folder in ubuntu?
[10:21] <Alex__> ok
[10:21] <poningru> digin4: do you have all the repositories turned on?
[10:21] <Seveas> digin4, your /etc/apt/sources.lost is incomplete
[10:21] <Seveas> killux, you can't
[10:21] <D4N`> hi
[10:22] <Alex__> it says failed to load module "wfb"
[10:22] <poningru> ...
[10:22] <killux> Seveas: why not?
[10:22] <Willabee> Can anyone help with desktop effects?
[10:22] <D4N`> you tell me
[10:22] <Seveas> killux, because you can't :)
[10:22] <poningru> killux: you can
[10:22] <poningru> !seahorse
[10:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seahorse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:22] <poningru> sigh
[10:22] <Seveas> !anyone | Willabee
[10:22] <ubotu> Willabee: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:22] <adrian_> How do I install in terminal the Kubuntu KDE so that I can switch between sessions
[10:22] <Seveas> poningru, that's not even close to 'password protecting a folder'
[10:22] <Seveas> nowhere near...
[10:22] <killux> poningru: i should search seahorse?
[10:22] <Alex__> (module does not exist, 0) fatal: error running install command for nvidia
[10:23] <poningru> Seveas: how isnt it?
[10:23] <Alex__> it says failed to load module "wfb"
[10:23] <Willabee> My entire screen goes white when I try to enable desktop effects
[10:23] <Greger1> trying to compile a hello.c with gcc terminal in Ubuntu and get this error:   stdio.h: No such file or directory ???
[10:23] <poningru> Seveas: it will encrypt that particular folder
[10:23] <Alex__> failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module
[10:23] <Seveas> poningru, seahorse is a password manager
[10:23] <xenol_> Seveas: sry, any ideas how to do same in kde?
[10:23] <Seveas> xenol_, nope
[10:23] <Seveas> xenol_, try asking in #kubuntu
[10:23] <poningru> Seveas: no dude it has builtin support for gnupg
[10:23] <RichW> Greger1: did you install build-essential?
[10:24] <kane77> killux, well what do you need to password protect a folder? wouldn't the linux user/group access suffice?
[10:24] <Alex__> poningru, isn't it?
[10:24] <Seveas> poningru, ah, that nautilus plugin...
[10:24] <adrian_> can anyone tell me How do I install in terminal the Kubuntu KDE so that I can switch between sessions
[10:24] <Greger1> RichW   no i havn't installed anything     i just assumed Ubuntu would have gcc working for me     what do i have to do??
[10:24] <kane77> killux, s/what/why
[10:24] <poningru> Seveas: yep :)
[10:24] <Flannel> adrian_: install the kubuntu-desktop package
[10:24] <Seveas> poningru, that's cumbersome, you have to manually do that after each changed or added file
[10:24] <RichW> Greger1: Ubuntu is a desktop OS and not a development one so you have to install it
[10:24] <Flannel> Greger1: you'll want to install build-essential, that'll grab everything you need
[10:25] <poningru> Seveas: price one pays for security
[10:25] <garette> Hello all i wanted to install thunderbird but its saying thunderbird has no installation candidate.. plz help
[10:25] <adrian_> I did that but I cannot change the session?
[10:25] <Seveas> poningru, a nice usable cryptfs would be nicer ;)
[10:25] <Flannel> Greger1: well, everything for generic compiling, you'll want to install additional libraries for whatever you happen to be compiling against
[10:25] <RichW> Greger1: Get build-essential from synaptic
[10:25] <poningru> Seveas: true
[10:25] <Alex__> please don't let me down, I was confused, never working on ubuntu before
[10:25] <poningru> Alex__: I know hold on
[10:25] <Flannel> garette: believe the package is mozilla-thunderbird
[10:25] <garette> Flannel, :D
[10:25] <Greger1> okay  i'll look up this synaptic   build-essential  thing       thx guys

[10:47] <finley_> Grrr
[10:47] <MoNsTeR> inox never mind but heres the code "sudo apt-get update"
[10:48] <nickrud> cameran: now that is a very strange thing. put in a dvd that shows no data
[10:48] <MoNsTeR> Inox, then you run this code
[10:48] <finley_> What plugin do I need for Firefox to stream video?
[10:48] <h3i> hi
[10:48] <cameran> yeah it's weird, i don't have any blank DVDs
[10:48] <Inox> ok?
[10:48] <poningru> Alex__: sudo sed -i 's/nvidia/nv/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:48] <Xsylotte> question: how to find out if someone ddosed you ?
[10:48] <Inox> done
[10:48] <Xsylotte> is there any log ?
[10:48] <cameran> nickrud: any game DVDs i insert have the problem
[10:48] <HOT> is there a specific channel for network (wireless) issues
[10:48] <HOT> ?
[10:48] <poningru> HOT: just ask here
[10:48] <niekie> Xsylotte: if your internet connection is dead :D
[10:49] <cameran> nickrud: but after a data CD is inserted i can see stuff on the DVD and it automounts
[10:49] <bascule> Xsylotte: all depends on your logging facilities
[10:49] <Xsylotte> it was dead :P
[10:49] <MoNsTeR> Inox, "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manger"
[10:49] <finley_> !wireless | HOT
[10:49] <ubotu> HOT: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:49] <Xsylotte> default options..
[10:49] <nickrud> cameran: good. Put one in, and we'll check the permissions. Get a little info, make looking for a previous bug report easier
[10:49] <niekie> Xsylotte: but seriously... there are applications like Snort which can detect that.
[10:49] <niekie> !snort
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snort - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:49] <niekie> Bah.
[10:49] <finley_> !streaming
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about streaming - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:49] <HOT> ty
[10:49] <cameran> nickrud: ok i have a data DVD in

[10:49] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically.

[10:49] <cameran> nickrud it appears blank as usual
[10:49] <bascule> !plugins | finley
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugins - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:49] <niekie> Xsylotte: your modem/router might also be able to log it.
[10:49] <Inox> Monster and Poningru are you both agree with  sudo sed -i 's/nvidia/nv/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf? or sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manger?
[10:49] <nickrud> cameran: ok, open a terminal, and cd /media
[10:49] <Xsylotte> niekie, System log viewer can't help ?
[10:49] <poningru> Inox: dont do the latter thing
[10:49] <niekie> Xsylotte: not really, by default.
[10:50] <poningru> since its already installed
[10:50] <Inox> Ok
[10:50] <Inox> hold on
[10:50] <Xsylotte> niekie, is there snort for feisty ?
[10:50] <niekie> Xsylotte: if you have an IP address of the person DDoSing you, you can usually do an abuse report to their ISP.
[10:50] <poningru> Inox: and it wont help since you dont have graphical already
[10:50] <cameran> nickrud: ok im there
[10:50] <MoNsTeR> poningru, sorry but that will fix his problem
[10:50] <finley_> Right.  I tried to get the totem gstreamer plugin for streaming video from Firefox and it said I didn't have the right repository activated.
[10:50] <niekie> Xsylotte: yes, but it might not work as you expect if you have a router or modem that blocks stuff in between.
[10:50] <finley_> What repository do I need?
[10:50] <MoNsTeR> poningru, i had to do that command to fix mine
[10:50] <niekie> Xsylotte: it can only log fully if all traffic to your IP reaches your PC.
[10:50] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, neh, he messed up so bad that that won't fix it :)
[10:50] <Inox> poningru, done
[10:50] <poningru> MoNsTeR: no dude he already has that installed
[10:51] <Xsylotte> i need logger.
[10:51] <poningru> Inox: restart your gdm
[10:51] <Xsylotte> :D i need some proof :D
[10:51] <Inox> how?
[10:51] <Xsylotte> if i was ddosed.

[10:51] <poningru> Alex__: sudo /etc/init.c/?dm restart
[10:51] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, oh nvm
[10:51] <poningru> Inox: sure
[10:51] <Inox> Ok
[10:51] <niekie> Xsylotte: Snort is an Intrusion Detection tool, which can also detect portscans, but I'm not sure about DDoS attacks.
[10:51] <nickrud> cameran:    ls -l  in the terminal, put  just the one line for the dvd here
[10:51] <lymeca> I just installed feisty and I need libdvdcss and w32codecs
[10:51] <lymeca> Where should I get them?
[10:51] <Xsylotte> niekie, url ?
[10:51] <cameran> nickrud: i typed it in, and there is at least one thread on this problem at ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26283
[10:51] <niekie> Xsylotte: you should be able to apt-get it.
[10:52] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, then i have another idea for him
[10:52] <poningru> Xsylotte: keep in mind thats illegal in germany
[10:52] <niekie> Otherwise, http://www.snort.org/ AFAIK.
[10:52] <cameran> nickrud: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      6 2007-08-07 11:04 cdrom -> cdrom0
[10:52] <niekie> poningru: what's illegal in Germany?
[10:52] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, me too but the CoC forbids me to say it ;)
[10:52] <cameran> nickrud: there's another line too: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   4096 2007-08-07 11:04 cdrom0
[10:52] <poningru> niekie: snort, nmap etc.
[10:52] <Inox> ctrl+alt+supr? or sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart?
[10:52] <niekie> poningru: Snort? Why?
[10:52] <cameran> nickrud: everything was working fine until just a few days ago
[10:52] <niekie> I can see why NMAP is..
[10:52] <poningru> niekie: new laws
[10:52] <niekie> But not Snort.
[10:52] <Xsylotte> niekie, hmm any .deb ? :D
[10:52] <niekie> poningru: you sure about Snort?
[10:52] <nickrud> cameran: do that same search on bugs.launchpad.net , see what you find
[10:52] <Inox> poningru, ctrl+alt+supr? or sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart?
[10:53] <poningru> niekie: unfortunately the law is wide enough for it to be legally questionable
[10:53] <bascule> *illegal* you can understand why nmap is illegal??????
[10:53] <MoNsTeR> poningru, why?
[10:53] <poningru> Inox: the latter
[10:53] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, RTFM?
[10:53] <nickrud> cameran: and the cdrom0 line is the one that's interesting
[10:53] <Inox> then done
[10:53] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, if only ;)
[10:53] <niekie> bascule: not that I agree with it...
[10:53] <HOT> when i browse on my lan everything is fine, but when i use my wlan DNS resolution takes forever (if at all) i have tried to set a manual DNS override in dhcp.conf but wireless manager still points to another DNS server, any ideas?
[10:53] <Inox> it's the black screen with the cursor in the middle
[10:53] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, i was asking i wasn't i was asking you if that was it please dont boot me :)
[10:54] <MoNsTeR> Inox, do you have 2 boxes?
[10:54] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, pm
[10:54] <poningru> bascule: welcome to modern life
[10:54] <kane77> how can I specify in tar gzip compression level?
[10:54] <toastja1> bascule: what can I set my block size to?
[10:54] <poningru> Inox: did it work?
[10:54] <Inox> nope
[10:54] <poningru> oh
[10:54] <MoNsTeR> Seveas, you didnt pm me
[10:54] <cameran> nickrud: ok im searching on blank DVD but nothing seems to be there pertaining to my problem so far
[10:54] <finley_> No good.
[10:54] <niekie> poningru: I do not understand why Snort would be illegal in any way, as it is not a "dual use" security tool.
[10:54] <bascule> toastja1: any thin really doesn't matter
[10:54] <finley_> I already have all the repositories added that are listed in Synaptic
[10:54] <markit> btw, I've installed kubuntu 7.1beta to a laptop of a friend of mine yesterday, and I've noticed some problems/bugs, where is better discuss/report them?
[10:54] <MoNsTeR> Inox, then how cn you tell us what your doing
[10:54] <niekie> As it only exists to detect attacks.
[10:54] <finley_> What more do I need to add?
[10:54] <niekie> But I might be wrong.
[10:54] <toastja1> well the problem is when I do the mkefs step the ramdisk comes out small anyway
[10:54] <Seveas> MoNsTeR, i understood that, I meant that my suggestion for that guy was more like 'fuck off and reinstall, you broke it yourself' :)
[10:54] <Seveas> fuck
[10:55] <poningru> woah
[10:55] <nickrud> oy oy
[10:55] <Seveas> that was supposed to be a private message, /me hangs head in shame
[10:55] <MoNsTeR> Inox, if you could reinstall then do that command it would work
[10:55] <niekie> !ohmy | Seveas :-P
[10:55] <ubotu> Seveas :-P: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:55] <nickrud> rflol
[10:55] <poningru> lol
[10:55] <HOT> whilst im here, are there any media players like amorak that are gnome based that dont suck ass?
[10:55] <DarwinAwdWinner> HOT: exaile, quodlibet?
[10:55] <poningru> HOT: eh not so much
[10:55] <Inox> poningru, how can i install vesa?
[10:55] <bascule> toastja1: maybe to do with the size of /dev/ram0, hang on i'l investigat further
[10:55] <finley_> Amarok works in gnome.  Why not use it?
[10:55] <poningru> rhythmbox is the closes
[10:55] <toastja1> 65536 is the max number of blocks I can pass to mkfs apparently
[10:56] <Flare183> How do i get the water effect on beryl to work
[10:56] <poningru> Inox: it should be using vesa now
[10:56] <HOT> i was tinkering with songbird, but something thats native
[10:56] <poningru> HOT: rhythmbox
[10:56] <MoNsTeR> Inox, are you not listening to me
[10:56] <HOT> finley_: using kde apps come with a overhead with libraries etc
[10:56] <finley_> HOT why not just use Amarok?
[10:56] <finley_> Ahh
[10:56] <finley_> Right
[10:56] <Inox> I'm restarting with ctrl+alt+supr
[10:56] <poningru> Inox: yeah dude try out his method
[10:56] <MoNsTeR> Inox, i can help You all you have to do is reinstall and do the code i said
[10:56] <Inox> Ok
[10:56] <HOT> heard a lot about rythmbox, might give it a try
[10:56] <finley_> What plugin do I need to get firefox to stream video?
[10:56] <Inox> Ok
[10:56] <lymeca> I just installed feisty and I need libdvdcss and w32codecs
[10:56] <lymeca> Where should I get them?
[10:56] <Inox> now I'm with you
[10:57] <poningru> !restricted | lymeca

[10:57] <Lhademmor> Hello, what (unsupported) repository would I have to add if I f.x. wanted to get GNOME 2.20?
[10:57] <Inox> but i didn undestand you
[10:57] <poningru> finley_: mozilla-totem or something
[10:57] <Inox> 2 boxes'
[10:57] <HOT> dear christ, rythmbox looks like a car crash :(
[10:57] <Inox> what's that?
[10:57] <nickrud> lymeca: help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[10:57] <poningru> Lhademmor: just upgrade to gutsy
[10:57] <MoNsTeR> Inox, two computers
[10:57] <poningru> !gutsy
[10:57] <Inox> yes I do
[10:57] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:57] <Inox> this one and the one eith ubuntu
[10:57] <MoNsTeR> Inox, reinstall ubuntu
[10:57] <Lhademmor> poningru, ya but it's not released yet...
[10:57] <poningru> Lhademmor: you said unsupported
[10:57] <cameran> nickrud: nothing so far on searches
[10:57] <MoNsTeR> Inox, then tell me when your done
[10:57] <nickrud> finley_: you should have streaming already; what doesn't play?
[10:58] <toastja1> bascule: :~$ df -k /dev/ram0
[10:58] <toastja1> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
[10:58] <toastja1> /dev/ram0                 9677      1500      7677  17% /mnt/ramdisk
[10:58] <Lhademmor> poningru, oops, you're right :)
[10:58] <Inox> but, what about my information there?
[10:58] <finley_> A streaming video at upci.com
[10:58] <poningru> Lhademmor: there arent any supported repos that have it
[10:58] <Inox> i need to work with php
[10:58] <toastja1> but it was larger before I did the dd thing
[10:58] <finley_> Firefox says missing plugin, but can't tell me what plugin I need.
[10:58] <MoNsTeR> Inox, what information can you transfer with a usb or host on the internet for you to download
[10:58] <Inox> pear, smarty, postgresql, etc...and it was so hard to get those installed
[10:59] <poningru> finley_: re read what I just said
[10:59] <nickrud> cameran: eject the disk, and in that terminal type   tail -f /var/log/syslog    then insert the disk again, you'll get some error messages. Use some of those errors in your bug search
[10:59] <bascule> toastja1: When configuring your Linux kernel, adjust the value of the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE parameter << need a kernel rebuild and hack to change it ...
[10:59] <finley_> Yeah, I'm looking it up now
[10:59] <finley_> This computer is slow
[10:59] <panosru> Hi, i wan't to use a widget system in ubuntu which one do you suggest me?
[10:59] <b14ck> hey guys. im trying to create a windows share. i already went to administration->shared folders-> and added the fodler i wanted to the list, but when i try to conenct to \\mycomputername on my windows computer it asks for a username and password toa ccess the share... hwo can i get rid of this authentication?
[10:59] <bascule> toastja1: in the 2.6 series, it will be under "Device drivers" -> "Block devices".)
[10:59] <ompaul> nickrud, it will be there until tomorrow
[10:59] <HOT> actually can someone confirm that for me, if i use a KDE based app like amorak am i "wasting" resources with cross compatability between windows managers?
[11:00] <finley_> And nothing corresponding to mozilla totem is found
[11:00] <MoNsTeR> Inox, i dont think i can help you if you arent going to listen to me
[11:00] <nickrud> ompaul: oh, the humanity
[11:00] <preaction> panosru, probably GTK+, glade is a nice tool for it
[11:00] <MoNsTeR> Inox, i told you what you could do
[11:00] <bascule> toastja1: maybe more hassle than it's worth, decide for yourself
[11:00] <toastja1> damn, oh well
[11:00] <gorski> why i do get an "Unable to find mountpoint" notification in gparted?
[11:00] <Inox> monster: but if I reinstall ubuntu I'm gonna lose those apps, right?
[11:00] <preaction> HOT, you need to load the kde/qt libs into memory, you're not "wasting" resources, but you are Using more
[11:00] <ZeroZiat> Hey there, I need help with GRUB.
[11:01] <MoNsTeR> Inox, yes but you can make your computer work again :)
[11:01] <b14ck> hey guys. im trying to create a windows share. i already went to administration->shared folders-> and added the fodler i wanted to the list, but when i try to conenct to \\mycomputername on my windows computer it asks for a username and password toa ccess the share... hwo can i get rid of this authentication?
[11:01] <HOT> preaction: and does it "pollute" the gnome code base, or are they loaded on demand?
[11:01] <preaction> HOT, it's not so much "compatibility" as it is "loading a different set of GUI widget libraries, convenience libraries, and system libraries"
[11:01] <HOT> *nod*
[11:01] <MoNsTeR> Inox, just write down those apps on your other computer and reinstall then after you reinstall ubuntu
[11:01] <ZeroZiat> bl4ck : Does this have to do with Ubuntu Linx?
[11:01] <b14ck> ZeroZiat: yes
[11:01] <Mohd> People, I need help. My USB headphones are not working and when i ever try to test them it displays the following. "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing."
[11:01] <MoNsTeR> ompaul, will seveas ever get unbanned?
[11:02] <preaction> HOT, "pollute"? they're loaded and GC (garbage collected) as necessary.
[11:02] <nickrud> Inox: you can use  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages to record the packages you have installed, and sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade to get them all back
[11:02] <b14ck> ZeroZiat: i want it to make is so that i dont need passsword authentication (which doesnt seem to work anyways when i connect tot he box)
[11:02] <ompaul> MoNsTeR, some stage tomorrow
[11:02] <panosru> preaction, thanks, i will try glade, i also hear about openwidgets and wxwidgets do you know anything about these? and if they are better from glade
[11:02] <Inox> monster: but it wasn't easy reinstalling those apps there, are you sure I can't do anything else? for example reinstalling nvidia drivers
[11:02] <cameran> anyone help with a DVD mounting problem
[11:02] <finley_> MoNsTeR Maybe, but we can dream
[11:02] <Inox> or something else
[11:02] <vanessa> if i do a uname -r and i get: 2.6.22-10-generic  then what should it be for my kernel headers? this is a SAMUELII CPU (Cyrex)  ex: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-<kernel type>
[11:02] <MoNsTeR> finley_,  lol
[11:03] <vanessa>  ... sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic  ?
[11:03] <preaction> HOT, the only "waste" to resources is to shared memory: your GTK+ apps (gnome) all use the same libraries in the same memory locations. the same thing happens with Qt (KDE), but as before, they have to be loaded into memory first
[11:03] <dan> umm, okay, so I have a USB drive that I'm trying to share a directory off of.  NFS didn't seem to like the label which is the default for the drive (My Book), so in attempting to rename it, I changed the mount point in the properties tab
[11:03] <b14ck> hey guys. im trying to create a windows share. i already went to administration->shared folders-> and added the fodler i wanted to the list, but when i try to conenct to \\mycomputername on my windows computer it asks for a username and password toa ccess the share... hwo can i get rid of this authentication?
[11:03] <dan> but now
[11:03] <HOT> preaction: i think i understand, when i used kde apps in fiesty gnome things got a little treacley
[11:03] <Mohd> People, I need help. My USB headphones are not working and when i ever try to test them it displays the following. "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing."
[11:03] <dan> it won't auto-mount
[11:03] <dan> where are the settings for that stored?
[11:03] <MoNsTeR> Inox, the reason im suggesting that you reinstall is because i have no clue what you have done to the computer
[11:03] <Inox> because unfortunely I must forget ubuntu and go back to windows, something that I don't want to do either, but i need to move on with my work
[11:04] <poningru> Inox: I agree with MoNsTeR
[11:04] <preaction> HOT, use the "top" or "vmstat" programs, most likely you're swapping memory pages to disk, which is the most expensive operation the memory system does (and if you want good performance, should be avoided at all costs)
[11:04] <finley_> lol
[11:04] <ZeroZiat> Hey there, I need help with GRUB.
[11:04] <Inox> poningru: the only things I did were what you told me to do
[11:04] <vanessa> if you have a VIA SAMUEL II what kernel headers do you install?
[11:04] <Mohd> People, I need help. My USB headphones are not working and when i ever try to test them it displays the following. "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing." any one does know anything about it?
[11:04] <poningru> Inox: I know dude but I have no idea how or why your computer is messed up
[11:04] <HOT> preaction: i remember reading that gnome and kde folks were working on a 0 overhead cross compatability so both sets of programs could run interchangably
[11:05] <bascule> vanessa: linux-source-2.6.20 < that thing?
[11:05] <Inox> it stopped working by itself, and then I start asking here what to do
[11:05] <freenet> hi
[11:05] <mojojason> Can anyone give me some advice on why the alsa drivers don't work with my sound blaster 16 card, if i put in my win 98 hardrive it's fine but i put in my ubu. drive and it won't even recognise i have a card in...??
[11:05] <vanessa> bascule: 2.6.22-10-generic ?
[11:05] <bascule> vanessa: apt-cache search source | grep kernel
[11:05] <poningru> Inox: /me shrugs you can try posting in forums and see if you can get some help there
[11:05] <poningru> but I doubt it
[11:05] <preaction> panosru, if you're writing an app for gnome, use GTK+. if you're writing one for whatever, use whatever you want. Wx is cross-system compatible but designed to look like the OS's normal windows. GTK+ allows theming. I don't know about Qt, and there are plenty others. look them up and compare
[11:06] <mojojason> righto on
[11:06] <finley_> Odd............... working on the fly with your tips, I found the xine plugin for streaming video from firefox.
[11:06] <finley_> Now it says this:
[11:06] <finley_> Video codec 'MS WMV 9 (win32)' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies
[11:06] <preaction> panosru, a note: all three widget libs i mentioned are cross-system compatible, though i'm not sure about PPC macs
[11:06] <Inox> Guys thank you very much for your help, but if i have to reinstall ubuntu, unfortunely I will return to windows, my job goes first, and ubuntu didn't help how expect
[11:06] <HOT> i do love amarok a lot, but always stayed away from non GTK apps, thanks for filling me in
[11:06] <finley_> What's my next move?
[11:07] <panosru> preaction, actually i don't want to write widgets i wan't to run them lol :P
[11:07] <poningru> finley_: you cant wmv 9 isnt handled yet
[11:07] <Inox> poningru: can you tell me how can I access my pendrive using the terminal?
[11:07] <poningru> Inox: sure
[11:07] <preaction> panosru, i realize that, which is why i listed three widget toolkits (tools for writing apps using GUI widgets) and what I know about them
[11:07] <poningru> Inox: sudo mkdir /media/newusbdrive
[11:08] <niekie> poningru: pendrives are usually automounted.
[11:08] <finley_> It's not handled in any app, in any repository in the whole wide Ubuntu multiverse?
[11:08] <riaal> I just found out my webcam runns on "gspca" drivers, I installed gspca-source with apt-get, how do I force my webcam to use it?
[11:08] <Inox> poningru: and the path to get files in there?
[11:08] <nickrud> Inox: maybe a later version. There is a learning curve, and sometimes there's no time to work on it
[11:08] <poningru> niekie: you need gnome for that
[11:08] <Xero> Any media player besides Amarok capable of minimizing into the tray? (Alltray+compiz=NO!)
[11:08] <geo-rge> does ubuntu have a amd64 port
[11:08] <niekie> poningru: oh, I didn't know that.
[11:08] <poningru> or other desktop scripts
[11:08] <jrib> geo-rge: yes
[11:08] <DarwinAwdWinner> Xero, most media players have tray icon
[11:08] <DarwinAwdWinner> s
[11:08] <finley_> poningru it's not handled in any app, in any repository in the whole wide Ubuntu multiverse?
[11:08] <poningru> Inox: do a sudo fdisk -l
[11:08] <jrib> Xero: rhythmbox
[11:09] <poningru> finley_: right if you are in linux you can only play certain wmv9 files
[11:09] <jusefina_> why has my ubuntu UI started lagging lately??
[11:09] <poningru> are you sure you ahve w32codecs?
[11:09] <riaal> Noone? I just found out my webcam runns on "gspca" drivers, I installed gspca-source with apt-get, how do I force my webcam to use it?
[11:09] <poningru> Inox: do you see your usb disks size?
[11:09] <finley_> Scuse me, but that stinks
[11:09] <mojojason> do they have a linux vlc player?
[11:09] <DarwinAwdWinner> yes
[11:09] <SpiderPig> mojoason indeed
[11:09] <vanessa> this doesnt look right... i just want to install this in the system to use with aMSN or whatever ... Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc.
[11:10] <mojojason> cool.
[11:10] <jrib> finley_: you should be able to play that file with w32codecs and mplayer as long as it doesn't have drm
[11:10] <SpiderPig> mojoason i am using it right now
[11:10] <poningru> finley_: maybe you should tell your audio content provider not to use restricted crappy codecs
[11:10] <preaction> finley_, then ask MS to open the WMV standard. what we have is reverse-engineered from existing WMV files
[11:10] <Inox> poningru: i typed sudo fdisk -l
[11:10] <preaction> finley_, did you install the gstreamer-0.10-good -bad and -ugly codecs?
[11:10] <poningru> Inox: do you see your usb stick?
[11:10] <finley_> w32 codecs?
[11:10] <b14ck> hey guys. im trying to create a windows share. i already went to administration->shared folders-> and added the fodler i wanted to the list, but when i try to conenct to \\mycomputername on my windows computer it asks for a username and password toa ccess the share... hwo can i get rid of this authentication?
[11:10] <geo-rge> vanessa what is it?
[11:10] <jrib> !w32codecs > finley_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[11:10] <Inox> fat32?
[11:10] <poningru> you can scroll up using shift+pgup
[11:10] <vanessa> dumb webcam
[11:10] <poningru> Inox: yes
[11:10] <poningru> Inox: but I need the name /dev/sd something
[11:10] <Inox> then yes
[11:10] <geo-rge> ahh
[11:11] <finley_> It's not gstreamer.  gstreamer plugin couldn't install.  Said it couldn't find the necessary repository.
[11:11] <finley_> I got the xine plugin
[11:11] <Inox> /dev/sdc1
[11:11] <poningru> are you sure?
[11:11] <Inox> poningru: /dev/sdc1
[11:11] <Inox> pretty sure
[11:11] <poningru> ok then do sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/newusbdisk
[11:11] <Inox> that's the one with fat32 system
[11:11] <poningru> or whatever the name of the folder you made
[11:11] <Donal> quit
[11:11] <Flare183> !codecs | finley_
[11:11] <geo-rge> vanessa tell them exactly what model/make it is, maybe someone inows how to make it work

[11:12] <finley_> Thanks
[11:12] <Flare183> mojojavsion:> try oss
[11:12] <vanessa> im not sure except that it is a logitech and that it doesnt work with windows XP SP1
[11:12] <Flare183> finley_:> no problem
[11:12] <mw-home> Simple question -- before I install a package, how can I found out what version of that package is available?
[11:12] <mojojason> ok
[11:12] <jrib> mw-home: apt-cache policy PACKAGE
[11:13] <poningru> mw-home: apt-cache show packagename
[11:13] <jrib> !apt > mw-home (read the private message from ubotu)
[11:13] <Flare183> !apt | mw-home
[11:13] <ubotu> mw-home: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:13] <DarwinAwdWinner> ooh, I like apt-cache policy
[11:13] <geo-rge> vanessa keep looking, maybe you find it on some sticker on the cam itself, or on the box it came in
[11:13] <Flare183> yeah
[11:13] <markit> mw-home: also apt-cache policy packagename (tells the installed and the available version )
[11:13] <Inox> poningru: thanks
[11:13] <xalspaero> this will sound stupid, but how do i view my ip address?
[11:13] <xalspaero> in ubuntu
[11:13] <Inox> it's mounted
[11:13] <DarwinAwdWinner> ip addr
[11:14] <niekie> xalspaero: your local IP address?
[11:14] <poningru> Inox: you may want to just do sudo su
[11:14] <niekie> Or your internet IP address?
[11:14] <poningru> and then you can skip the whole sudo prefix
[11:14] <vanessa> nothing outside of the lsusb
[11:14] <Flare183> xalspaero:> ifconfig
[11:14] <kane77> I guess I'm going to format my laptop and install ubuntu as the only OS... :) or is there a way to keep my current (and get rid of window partition)??
[11:14] <Flare183> !ifconfig | xalspaero
[11:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:14] <jrib> xalspaero: ifconfig  or  wget -q -O - www.whatismyip.org  depending on what you mean
[11:14] <Flare183> oh well
[11:14] <cypherdelic> Good Evening. I have to solve a problem. In my network there are two Samba Servers runnign as Shares, one is Windows XP and one is Linux. The Linux One (current beta) doesnt show ANY host in the Nautilus Network, even the Windows Network is empty. Shared Folders Service is running, Folders are Shared and Mountpoints are available. Please help. Both mashines can ping each other. Internet works great on both.
[11:14] <finley_> Um........... this only works for gstreamer.  I'm using xine to stream video.
[11:14] <Inox> poningru: Ok, thanks. Is it like sudo -s -H?
[11:14] <jrib> !who | finley_
[11:14] <ubotu> finley_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[11:14] <niekie> xalspaero: the easiest way to see your internet IP address is to use http://whatismyip.com/
[11:14] <Pici> !away > kaminix|away (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[11:14] <finley_> The good, bad and ugly packs............. is there anything like that for xine?
[11:15] <xalspaero> yea but its on a computer with no internet connection
[11:15] <xalspaero> its going to be a 169.254 add
[11:15] <finley_> jrib Anyone who will answer
[11:15] <jrib> finley_: apt-cache search lib xine codec
[11:15] <niekie> xalspaero: then you can use ifconfig <interface name here>
[11:15] <vanessa> geo-rge: Logitich quick cam express
[11:15] <niekie> Or just ifconfig
[11:15] <poningru> Inox: yeah
[11:15] <niekie> And it will output network info.
[11:15] <d0s> isn't the file format for themes on ubuntu .theme
[11:15] <Flare183> xalspaero:> then it is <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:15] <Gringo_> in Ubuntu, ~/.ssh/known_hosts contains only hashed entry's. So how do you solve the problem of "remote host identification has changed?" There's no telling which entry is which?
[11:15] <jrib> finley_: "this only works with gstreamer" ... no one will know what you mean by "this" unless they were helping you before
[11:15] <xalspaero> ipconfig is windows
[11:16] <geezone> ffas
[11:16] <Xero> What's a good media player that can use GNOME keybinds?
[11:16] <xalspaero> ip addr worked
[11:16] <niekie> xalspaero: IFCONFIG
[11:16] <Flare183> knew it
[11:16] <niekie> Not ipconfig :)
[11:16] <Flare183> ipconfig is for windows ifconfig is for linux
[11:16] <Xero> Rhythmbox's viz is messed up, I don't like amarok.
[11:16] <xalspaero> oh
[11:16] <geo-rge> vanessa: good :) well, sorta... at least now there's one more info

[11:16] <Inox> poningru: i have a .bin package in my pendrive

[11:17] <dom> !sound
[11:17] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:17] <finley_> Rats, gotta go

[11:17] <Flare183> welcome
[11:17] <gorski> I cannot unmount partitions, please help. Umount: /media/hda1 mount disagrees with the fstab!!!
[11:17] <Flare183> dOs:> just .theme
[11:17] <jrib> !themes > d0s (read the private message from ubotu)
[11:17] <poningru> d0s: themes are just tar files
[11:17] <geo-rge> gorski: why?
[11:17] <cypherdelic> Good Evening. I have to solve a problem. In my network there are two Samba Servers runnign as Shares, one is Windows XP and one is Linux.

[11:17] <Inox> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run.bin
[11:17] <Inox> poningru: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run.bin
[11:17] <doublemike> before I upgrade, does xgl/compiz + cinerama/fglrx + xfce actually work in gutsy?
[11:18] <jrib> cypherdelic: please wait at least 15 minutes or so before repeating
[11:18] <cypherdelic> jrib: sry
[11:18] <crush_groove> anyone here know how to resolve issues regarding installing deluge-0.5.5 to kubuntu .. I have dled all the g++ and python etc . installed them .. and still get tuns of errors on sudo make install
[11:18] <Flare183> lnox:> yeah i think
[11:18] <Gringo_> jrib: you're right, it does tell you the line number, tnx ! ;)
[11:18] <poningru> Inox: first do chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-blah-blah.blah.blah.run.bin
[11:18] <poningru> but with the right letters
[11:18] <Inox> hahaha, Ok
[11:19] <jrib> cypherdelic: you want to ask in #ubuntu+1 if you are running beta ubuntu
[11:19] <poningru> Inox: then ./NVIDIA-Linux-blah-blah.blah.blah.run.bin
[11:19] <geo-rge> find / -name "*blah*" -print
[11:19] <gorski> I cannot unmount partitions, please help. Umount: /media/hda1 mount disagrees with the fstab!!!
[11:19] <poningru> Inox: you can use tab to autocomplete
[11:19] <geo-rge> oops, wrong window...
[11:19] <jrib> Gringo_: you can go back to the old way with some config option in ~/.ssh/config as well
[11:19] <Flare183> !fstab
[11:19] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:19] <Xero> I found my player. XMMS.
[11:19] <Inox> then sh blablabla.run?
[11:19] <poningru> as in type in ./NVIDIA and then press the tab button
[11:19] <Flare183> lnox:> or ./blahblah.run
[11:19] <poningru> Inox: you can do that too
[11:20] <geo-rge> is it a shell script?
[11:20] <Xero> I can put it in Windowshade mode and fake-integrate it into Firefox and XChat at the same time, using Foxytunes on Firefox for media controls and my keybinds for the same reason.
[11:20] <CaBlGuY> !DVD

[11:20] <Inox> too? after chmod, and being at the directory? what should i do for sure
[11:21] <Lilacor> How do I change which compiz fusion plugins are enabled?
[11:22] <Ng> are there known problems that would make the feisty installer hang at 23%?
[11:22] <geo-rge> disk space?
[11:22] <Ng> someone mentioned it to me as their install having worked first time, but they decided to re-install and whatever they do in terms of formatting the disk it hangs in the same place
[11:23] <Donal> hi! i've got a feisty freezing problem ... i've looked at a good bit of the feisty fawn freeze driving me insane forum post (74 pages long) and its not the exact same symptoms. Anyone feel like helping me with some advice/suggestions?
[11:23] <poningru> Lilacor: install the compiz-management package
[11:23] <Ng> Donal: have you run a memtest?
[11:24] <Ng> Donal: do there seem to be certain different things triggering the freezes?
[11:24] <Donal> Ng : <ignorance mode> what would a memtest do? i dual boot xp, which works fine ... i really don't want to switch back
[11:24] <navi> sera a tutti
[11:24] <Pici> !it
[11:24] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:25] <Ng> Donal: if the memtest86+ package is installed you get an extra boot menu option. It does nothing but test your memory. If XP works then it's less likely to be memory related though
[11:25] <Donal> Ng: it seems to happen no matter what i do ... its not random .. it freezes for 6 seconds then unfreezes for one .. then repeat ... if i ctrl-alt-backapace it won't reload x or whatever that does ... it gives out a soft lockup detected on cpu#0
[11:25] <Willabee> Can anyone help me get sound to play from firefox?
[11:26] <Slotty> I'm looking for the md5 on 7.04 LiveCD. I'm having issues running the LiveCD and want to know if it is the iso or just on my end.
[11:26] <geo-rge> but xp working does not totally rule out mem problems
[11:26] <sky1> does anyone know if incomming calls to skypeIn number is free ?
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Willabee: does sound play otherwise?
[11:27] <Willabee> It only plays for GAIM
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, thats kinda wierd.
[11:27] <Willabee> Well also when I do the tests
[11:27] <Ng> Donal: what kind of network connection are you using?
[11:27] <Willabee> I'm using logitech USB speakers
[11:28] <Slotty> anyone know where the md5 sum is listed for Ubuntu 7.04 live cd?
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> Willabee: i bet thats your issue.
[11:28] <Donal> Ng: wireless, i have tried harware switching the wireless card to off. same effect.
[11:28] <Lilacor> poningru: how do you run the plugin manager?
[11:29] <_seanc_> Quick question about ubuntu.  Does it fully utilize dual & quad core processors?
[11:29] <poningru> Lilacor: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[11:29] <poningru> _seanc_: yes as long as its the latest one
[11:29] <Willabee> Do I need to get an updated version of ALSA or something?
[11:29] <Lilacor> I've installed it. What's the CLI to run it?
[11:29] <Ng> Willabee: that kinda suggests that alsa is working and oss isn't
[11:29] <poningru> _seanc_: you can check by doing cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:30] <Ng> Donal: that's annoying, because most of the reports of that I can see are about wireless cards
[11:30] <poningru> _seanc_: and see how many processors are listed there
[11:30] <Lilacor> poningru: nevermind.. I see it now under system > preferences
[11:30] <_seanc_> poningru: Sweet, I just bought a new laptop and it's core a Core 2 duo and Vista and I want to move to linux.  I had heard however, I wouldn't get the benefits of the dual core
[11:30] <gorski> how to resize hda1 ntfs partition that i unmounted?
[11:30] <poningru> _seanc_: who said that?
[11:30] <IndyGunFreak> gorski: use gparted.
[11:30] <_seanc_> poningru: to be honest I don't recall now, I had looked into it a month or so ago and put it off till now
[11:30] <Iceshadow> I'm having some issues getting applications to work with my USB soundblaster live! 24-bit external. I run the tests in the sound options, and it produces a tone. But none of the software, like rhythmbox is playing sound. Alsamixer also produces an error, with no results.
[11:31] <Inox> poningru: I can't believe that I need to reinstall ubuntu, is there a point restore or something like the one on windows?
[11:31] <gorski> yes, but it sais that it can't find the mountpoint!!!
[11:31] <poningru> _seanc_: linux has had multicore support long before end user multicore was available
[11:31] <Inox> poningru: nvidia driver doesn't start it shows another error
[11:31] <poningru> Inox: sorry dude thats the only way
[11:31] <vocx> _seanc_, Linux works okay with multiple cores. Although ultimately the programs themselves need to be optimized (compiled) to use multiple "threads".
[11:32] <poningru> you can save all your data though
[11:32] <_seanc_> poningru: oh
[11:32] <_seanc_> vocx: oh...is that a hassle?
[11:32] <crush_groove>  IM getting gcc errors when installing deluge .. any ideas ?
[11:32] <Donal> ng: same here ... that or nvidia ... next thing i have to try is to turn off the restricted drivers, which is weird as they worked up until yesterday
[11:32] <poningru> and after you reinstall it I can help you setup the php stuff a lot easier
[11:32] <b14ck> wahts a good program to convert .ogg to .mp3?
[11:32] <Inox> poningru: i have to versions of ubuntu both 7.04, the one from the official site and the ultimatdo you recommend?e version, what
[11:32] <tmatix> where do i go to manage my workspaces in gnome 2.20?
[11:32] <Willabee> How can I fix oss?
[11:32] <geo-rge> lame maybe
[11:32] <crush_groove> all g++ python .. and zlibs are up to date and not upgradeable
[11:32] <poningru> b14ck: audacity or if you can do command line mencoder
[11:33] <b14ck> ty
[11:33] <poningru> Inox: ultimatdo?
[11:33] <vocx> _seanc_, well, try redoing ALL Linux programs to use multiple cores. It is difficult.
[11:33] <Inox> poningru: i have to versions of ubuntu both 7.04, the one from the official site and the ultimate version, what do you recommend?
[11:33] <poningru> Inox: the official one

[11:33] <Inox> poningru: thanks
[11:33] <poningru> Inox: but I would say you should just get the beta for gutsy
[11:33] <sahil> does anyone know if im making a derivative work thats outside the remixing guidelines if i have to remove all the ubuntu artwork and references to ubuntu, if so how do i do that?

[11:34] <poningru> Inox: since its so close to release its stable enough
[11:34] <gorski> how to resize hda1 ntfs partition that i unmounted?
[11:34] <geo-rge> good understandable questions are at least sicco (specific informative concise complete on-topic)
[11:34] <gorski> gparted sais that it can't find the mountpoint!!!
[11:34] <Inox> is it better even when it is a beta version?
[11:34] <poningru> Inox: hehe no a bit more unstable
[11:35] <poningru> Inox: but it will go stable in about 20 days
[11:35] <geo-rge> maybe mount point doesn'texist yet. a mount point is just a plain directory
[11:35] <Ice|Home> I'm having some issues getting applications to work with my USB soundblaster live! 24-bit external. I run the tests in the sound options, and it produces a tone. But none of the software, like rhythmbox is playing sound. Alsamixer also produces an error, with no results.
[11:35] <tmatix> i just upgraded to gutsy beta, it's beautiful but now my workspaces/virtual desktops aren't working right and i can't even find a section in the preferences for them
