[12:01] <jrib> arte_: glad it worked, don't ask me why :)
[12:01] <kitche> epitiphlitis: log in and then sudo apt-get install gdm there is a reinstall comand for apt-get also I just don't know it
[12:01] <cloom> hello, anyone uses XGL+Beryl?
[12:01] <arte_> coz u know much more than me :)
[12:01] <jrib> kitche: apt-get --reinstall install foo
[12:01] <siv0x> axisys: okay now i'm on gnome.. i click the little speaker icon at the top of my screen?
[12:02] <axisys>   siv0x yes.. double click
[12:02] <foobn> i have an existing ubuntu/swap partition that i want to overwrite with kubuntu. do i have to delete and recreate those partitions or can i get away with just formatting my existing ext3 partition and installing kubuntu on it?
[12:02] <siv0x> axisys: k done
[12:02] <johns^> foobn: yep
[12:02] <foobn> yep to what
[12:02] <axisys> siv0x: do u see a tab called switches?
[12:02] <johns^> you can overwrite it
[12:03] <johns^> or just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:03] <foobn> just format?
[12:03] <siv0x> axisys: yes
[12:03] <kitche> foobn: or sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then you will have kubuntu and ubuntu
[12:03] <johns^> foobn: during the install
[12:03] <foobn> i'm already in a kubuntu livecd
[12:03] <axisys> siv0x: go to that tab
[12:03] <tim__b> anyone into psybnc with oidentd support? got following problem: /etc/oidentd.conf is configured in the right way, so is psybnc, which writes the repley in ~user/.oidentd.conf. but oidentd replies the shell username instead of the ident set in psybnc. any suggestions?
[12:03] <siv0x> axisys: k
[12:03] <axisys> is the headphone sense checked?
[12:04] <johns^> foobn: I would just apt-get the kubuntu stuff ;) But during install you will have an option to format
[12:04] <foobn> i'd rather do a fresh install
[12:04] <foobn> my ubuntu/gnome was broken
[12:04] <johns^> foobn: come on, it isn't windows ;)
[12:04] <siv0x> axisys: do i check "Audigy analog/digital output jack" ?
[12:04] <mixandgo> hello everyone, something strange happens when I try to sync some files with Unison ! if the amount of data is high... the network breaks down, meaning no ping, nothing; even tho ifconfig show it's everything ok ! I need to disable and re-enable the network connection (eth0) for it to work again
[12:04] <superkirbyartist> !pcmcia
[12:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcmcia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:05] <axisys> siv0x: play w/ those
[12:05] <lewwy> hi guys
[12:05] <axisys> siv0x: one of them will work.. u have diff drver i think
[12:05] <Theodor> If I moved my files from my Ubuntu DVD to an external HDD, will the apt-get command still works ?
[12:06] <bmhm> hi all
[12:06] <bmhm> how can i run eclipse on 6.10 amd64 ?
[12:06] <gili> i have a question about cd rippers?
[12:07] <gili> is sound juicer the most reliable,???
[12:07] <Theodor> If I moved my files from my Ubuntu DVD to an external HDD, will the apt-get command still works ?
[12:07] <johns^> gili: cdparanoia is the most reliable :)
[12:07] <der0b> doesn't grip use cdparanoia?
[12:07] <gili> yes grip uses cdparanoia....
[12:08] <gili> i am having some problems with grip and LAME
[12:08] <gili> i like grip but it is not encoding my tracks
[12:08] <der0b> I never attempted to config lame with grip
[12:08] <johns^> Theodor: you will probably have to modify /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:09] <junk269> hi all
[12:09] <siv0x> axisys: okay, got it.. now mic isnt working.
[12:09] <Theodor> johns^, I was thinking the same ... do you know where does a USB HDD gets mounted?
[12:09] <gili> how does one get mp3 support in sound juicer
[12:09] <gili> ?
[12:09] <jrwa> hi there! :)
[12:09] <junk269> i no this is ubuntu but do you all mind a fast os ?? not related to ubuntu?pls
[12:09] <jrwa> is there possible to launch a program (kid3) with different encoding than the default? ^^
[12:09] <johns^> Theodor: somewhere in /media i would guess
[12:09] <jrwa> *is it
[12:10] <wirelessnoob> Hi: I have just installed a Belkin 5Fd700uk wireless card.  I've installed no drivers, but wireless assistant can see the router (and other peoples).  I've got 128-bit WEP working on windows, but can't get w/less asst to authenticate.  Am I doing something obviously stupid?
[12:10] <junk269> knoppix 5.0.1 an accelerated knoppix5.0.1 is there an difference?
[12:11] <Jimmey> Where are my kernel headers?
[12:11] <der0b> junk269: you might ask in #knoppix
[12:11] <junk269> i did i think there all in here lol
[12:11] <junk269> i didnt get an answer
[12:11] <mnoir> Jimmey: /usr/src
[12:12] <der0b> just ask and wait, there may not be anyone around to answer you at the moment
[12:12] <Jimmey> mnoir, "The directory you have provided is not a valid Linux headers location."
[12:13] <Jimmey> mnoir, this is configuring wacom-kernel-source
[12:13] <cafuego_> Jimmey: You need the 'linux-headers-$(uname -r)' package.
[12:13] <junk269> see ya
[12:13] <cafuego_> Jimmey: Then the kernel src dir will be /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[12:14] <mnoir> Jimmey: you asked where they were - I didn't know you hadn't installed them yet... :)
[12:14] <gregcha117> everytime i try to install the new Kaffeine from src it says "no targets specified and no makefile found. stop."
[12:14] <seanj> hi people
[12:14] <Jimmey> Ahh :-P
[12:15] <axisys> siv0x: u have to play w/ in and out
[12:15] <axisys> your out works now.. u have to make sure in is check'd as well
[12:15] <MuffY> good evening
[12:15] <axisys> audio-in that is
[12:15] <siv0x> axisys: I am.. but in the switch tab all i have is one box that i can check or uncheck.
[12:15] <n2diy> !hi
[12:15] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:16] <MuffY> i'd like some advice on installing ubuntu on my computer
[12:16] <axisys> siv0x: so if u check it in stops working?
[12:16] <solitude> can someone guide me through getting my usb wireless stick to work on ubuntu?
[12:16] <gregcha117> muffy: what do you want to do?
[12:16] <gregcha117> muffy: do you want to just have ubuntu or dual boot it with windows?
[12:16] <wheels3572> crimsun, I would like to thank you for ALL your help lastnight you got me started in the right direciton :)
[12:16] <MuffY> first of all, would it be wise to keep a small 10-15G windows partition, or can you emulate most windows things on ubuntu
[12:17] <siv0x> axisys: what is aux?
[12:17] <MuffY> gregcha117: i don't want to know if i want a dual boot system or not =p
[12:17] <siv0x> axisys: yes i have it unchecked and headphones are working, just the mic is like muted or something somewhere
[12:17] <lnknpk04> i'm trying to install my wireless card through ndiswrapper and the driver says that its an invalid driver when i know its not
[12:17] <MuffY> oop
[12:17] <MuffY> s
[12:17] <mnoir> MuffY: keep the windows until 4 months after the last time you boot it
[12:17] <Z_Morek> anyone know why lircd would be looking for config in the /etc directory instead of /etc/lirc
[12:17] <MuffY> nice one =)
[12:17] <MuffY> ok, then my next question:
[12:18] <solitude> How do i get my wireless card to work on a fresh ubuntu install?
[12:18] <solitude> its picked up in networking, but it doesnt work after i enable it
[12:18] <lnknpk04> if anyone thinks they might be able to help, i can message you the error i get in dmesg
[12:18] <Rick_Timmis> Z_Morek did you compile lircd with a config dir prefix ?
[12:18] <MuffY> would it by wise to have 1) a small windows partition than a larger ubuntu partition, and make the rest a big FAT32 partition i can put files on readable for both windows and ubuntu?
[12:18] <Jimmey> solitude, what does "lspci | grep Network"
[12:18] <Jimmey> Say?
[12:19] <MuffY> or are there ways i can let windows read these "ext2 something" linux filesystems
[12:19] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me why I can hear all sound in gaim and playing sound from a website but when I goto play MP3's I cant hear crap
[12:19] <solitude> it says bash: grep command not found
[12:19] <solitude> bash: lspci: command not found
[12:20] <Jimmey> :-S
[12:20] <siv0x> axisys: all i see is line out, line2, to do with in/out
[12:20] <mnoir> MuffY: in practice, using a smallish fat32 as a pivot is usually better and moving things there only that you need to share - you prolly will not be going back and forth and back and forth
[12:20] <Rick_Timmis> wheels372 do you have mp3 support installed ?
[12:20] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, No idea lol
[12:20] <lnknpk04> i'm haivng a similar problem Jimmy...when i do that command it says "02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03)"
[12:20] <Rick_Timmis> ok so so you need to install automatix
[12:20] <Rick_Timmis> and then run it
[12:20] <solitude> Jimmey, should i have entered them as separate commands?
[12:20] <n2diy> !automatix
[12:20] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:20] <Rick_Timmis> command line apt-get update
[12:20] <MuffY> mnoir: so if i need  file in windows, i copy it to the FAT32 partition from linux, and then read it with windows?
[12:20] <Rick_Timmis> then apt get install automatix
[12:21] <mnoir> MuffY: you will need to decide which os is your chosen 'home' and only use the other when necessary
[12:21] <n2diy> !automatix
[12:21] <MuffY> i bet it's going to be ubuntu
[12:21] <MuffY> though i never used it before
[12:21] <mnoir> yes - that is what most who are trying to abandon Uncle Bill do
[12:21] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, I already did actually it's installed here
[12:21] <MuffY> but it doesn't look like i can't do important thinks on ubuntu which i can on windows =)
[12:21] <solitude> aha
[12:22] <mnoir> what important things?
[12:22] <n2diy> MuffY: like what?
[12:22] <solitude> Jimmey, i reentered it, and it returns nothing
[12:22] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, I have a bunch of Media Players
[12:22] <mnoir> OO is waay better than Office, FF runs on both, TB is better than WinMail
[12:22] <J-_> !beagle
[12:22] <ubotu> beagle: indexing and search tool for your personal data. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.9-1ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 804 kB, installed size 3160 kB
[12:22] <gili> how does one encode to mp3 format with soundjuicer???
[12:23] <Z_Morek> Rick_Timmis... don't think so...
[12:23] <MuffY> 1) browsing, 2) a bit image manipulation(yay gimp!) [nothing serious] , 3) compiling programs for consoles (NDS for example ^_^)
[12:23] <MuffY> winmail?
[12:23] <wheels3572> Helix Player, Movie Player, Rhythmbox Music Player, Xfmedia and XMMS Media Player
[12:23] <mnoir> MuffY: um - i forgot the name of outlook
[12:23] <MuffY> i think i'm glad i don;t know what that is
[12:23] <MuffY> brrrr
[12:23] <MuffY> don't say outlook when i'm near
[12:23] <mnoir> :)
[12:23] <MuffY> had some nasty experiences with it xD
[12:24] <mnoir> so does everybody else
[12:24] <MuffY> all hail gmail =p
[12:24] <lnknpk04> can anyone help me get my wireless working?
[12:24] <Rick_Timmis> Z_Morek usually most daemons when compiled accept a config_dir as part of the compile time configuration, this will be in the docs. alternativel you could just move all the lircd configs into /etc to act as a work round
[12:24] <TheNabb> what app is best for dvd ripping?
[12:24] <mnoir> so anyway - you may find the linux stuff better - my wife did
[12:24] <MuffY> ty peeps
[12:24] <mnoir> tias :)
[12:24] <Z_Morek> Rick_Timmis: how about symlinks?
[12:25] <Rick_Timmis> wheels3572 you need to go take a look at the ubuntu pages for mp3 support give me 2 minutes I will get a link for you BRB
[12:25] <Rick_Timmis> Z-Morek sure you could use symlinks
[12:26] <Z_Morek> Rick_Timmis: well then I have a bigger problem... I tried symlinking the files and it's still using the wrong /dev/lirc
[12:26] <gili> so is it possible to use soundjuicer to make mp3....or no?
[12:26] <MuffY> anyone has a nice link to a "ubuntu - winXP dual boot system"
[12:26] <HymnToLife> yet, that's wat it's for
[12:26] <Shocka311> is there a way to delete a folder quickly in terminal if it isn't empty or do I have to empty its folders and all its sub folders first?
[12:26] <HymnToLife> I never managed to get it working tho
[12:27] <solitude> someone pm me if they have the time to help me please
[12:27] <MuffY> should be:  anyone has a nice link to a "ubuntu - winXP dual boot system" howto**
[12:27] <der0b> shocka311: rm -rf will recursivly force delete a dir and anything beneath it
[12:27] <HymnToLife> Shadowpillar, (sudo) rm -rf /path/to/folder - use with care and think before you type !
[12:27] <Fireal> Hello all, looking for a simple utility to convert various movie file formats to mpeg-4...any suggestions?
[12:27] <HymnToLife> Shocka311* sorry :p
[12:27] <n2diy> Shocka311: do 'man rm" and look for the recursive switch, and be careful.
[12:27] <Rick_Timmis> wheels3572  here is a link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3?highlight=%28mp3%29
[12:27] <sekondchakra> anyone know if there's a "moblock" channel somewhere?
[12:28] <Shocka311> der0b: I tried that and it saidthere is no such comand as -r
[12:28] <lnknpk04> can anyone help me get my wireless working with ndiswrapper (or if you know of a different way, that would be appreciated too)?
[12:28] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, sure we can help you but more details would be appreciated
[12:28] <der0b> what was the exact error shocka311
[12:28] <Rick_Timmis> Z_Morek well thats a different problem, I am afraid I don't know a thing about lirc but you /etc problem was common with compile time prefix's
[12:28] <Shocka311> der0b: let me get it again
[12:29] <lnknpk04> 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03)
[12:29] <MuffY> gregcha117: you said something about a dual boot system some lines ago. Got a link?
[12:29] <n2diy> der0b: he probably needs to sudo it?
[12:29] <lnknpk04> when i install the driver, it says that it is invalid, when it is the correct one accordig to the list on the ndiswrapper wiki
[12:29] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, nice, I installed the very seme just yesterday :p
[12:29] <Shadowpillar> HymnToLife:  I prefer rm -rf /*
[12:29] <lnknpk04> :)
[12:29] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, ty im looking now
[12:29] <lnknpk04> the one i was trying to use is bcmwl5a.inf
[12:29] <HymnToLife> Shadowpillar, you'll need sudo to do this
[12:29] <Shocka311> der0b: rmdir: invalid option -- r
[12:30] <der0b> shocka311: you need to use rm not rmdir
[12:30] <HymnToLife> Shocka311, rm, not rmdir
[12:30] <Shocka311> thanks
[12:30] <der0b> please just be careful :)
[12:30] <siv0x> axisys: none worked.
[12:30] <HymnToLife> and think before you type
[12:31] <MuffY> no one has a link to an ubuntu -WinXP dual boot system?
[12:31] <HymnToLife> !ask | MuffY
[12:31] <ubotu> MuffY: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:31] <lnknpk04> HymnToLife: i have ndiswrapper installed from Automatix for Edgy.  i'm in the dir of the file and i type in sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf
[12:31] <lnknpk04> right so far?
[12:31] <Rick_Timmis> Muffy I run an XP Ubiuntu dual boot
[12:31] <n2diy> MuffY: is Xp installed now?
[12:31] <bob> MuffY, me too
[12:31] <Rick_Timmis> I never really use
[12:31] <Rick_Timmis> XP accept now
[12:31] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, yes, except for the Automatix part
[12:31] <lnknpk04> what do you mean?
[12:31] <HymnToLife> !automatix
[12:31] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[12:32] <n2diy> MuffY: is Xp installed now?
[12:32] <bob> MuffY, install XP first.. then just install ubuntu it will setup grub for you
[12:32] <MuffY> not really
[12:32] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, one other question for you. Can I use Amarok even though im using Xubuntu?
[12:32] <lnknpk04> ah
[12:32] <lnknpk04> ok
[12:32] <seanj> !install
[12:32] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[12:32] <MuffY> ok
[12:32] <HymnToLife> wheels3572, certainly
[12:32] <MuffY> ty guys =)
[12:32] <lnknpk04> is there a command that i can use to uninstall ndiswrapper and install it fresh from the site?
[12:32] <wheels3572> HymnToLife, ty
[12:32] <MuffY> install ubuntu while runnig windows?
[12:32] <Rick_Timmis> wheels3572 Yes sure you can but you will need the bde-base libraries installed for tit to work
[12:32] <Fireal> Muffy: check google vids for a quick tutorial
[12:32] <Rick_Timmis> soory kde
[12:33] <Fireal> I'll get a link 1 sec
[12:33] <n2diy> MuffY: no boot from the Ubuntu CD.
[12:33] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, it should work the way it is, please just don't use Automatix in the future
[12:33] <Rick_Timmis> sorry I mean kde-base libraries installed along with QT
[12:33] <lnknpk04> !WorksForMe
[12:33] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[12:33] <lnknpk04> lol
[12:33] <lnknpk04> i wont.  someone told me to...
[12:33] <HymnToLife> so, you run ndiswrapper -i, and what ?

[12:34] <seanj> i just got a new computer with an AMD AThlon 64 processor... do I have to use the 64 bit install image?
[12:34] <lnknpk04> and it says the driver is invalid
[12:34] <MuffY> the rest: ty too =p
[12:34] <mEz> O.o
[12:34] <noelferreira> i just installed ATI open drivers but i can't have direct render working. any help?
[12:34] <bob> lnknpk04, you need the firmware package
[12:34] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, hold on, I'll give you the link to the driver I used
[12:34] <lnknpk04> thx
[12:34] <Rick_Timmis> seanj this would be the best route
[12:34] <bob> lnknpk04, apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[12:35] <Fireal> does anyone convert video files to mpeg-4
[12:35] <lynucs> how to use another ligon manager like entrance??
[12:35] <seanj> is it faster? the reason I ask is because I already have the x86 image burned
[12:35] <lynucs> login manager
[12:35] <wheels3572> Rick_Timmis, Ok I have the following players should I just get rid of them all and use only one?  I have Helix Player, Movie Player, Rhythmbox Music Player, Xfmedia and XMMS Media Player
[12:35] <Shocka311> what commands do I use to edit my /fstab
[12:35] <MuffY> seanj: they told be i should use the x86 image
[12:35] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/linux/compaq-r3000/bcmwl5a.tar.gz
[12:35] <Music_Shuffle> seanj, you can use either.
[12:35] <Rick_Timmis> noelferreira has your Xorg.conf file been updated to use the new ATI drivesr ?
[12:35] <seanj> ok thank you all :)
[12:35] <HymnToLife> Shocka311, your favourite text editor
[12:36] <Music_Shuffle> seanj, each method has its good and bad sides ;P
[12:36] <seanj> lol ok
[12:36] <lnknpk04> thanks
[12:36] <MuffY> cause some non-free software (like flash player) isn't there for 64 processors
[12:36] <lnknpk04> lemme give that a shot
[12:36] <seanj> i could live without flash player :)
[12:36] <Shocka311> hymntolife: i want to do it from terminal
[12:36] <Music_Shuffle> seanj, then go for 64. :D
[12:36] <noelferreira> yes Rick_Timmis
[12:37] <n2diy> Shocka311: then use nano
[12:37] <HymnToLife> Shocka311, then use nano, it's a nice user-friendly command line editor :             sudo nano /etc/fstab
[12:37] <noelferreira> i changed now ati to radeon in device just to check Rick_Timmis
[12:37] <kyncani> seanj: and without w32codecs
[12:37] <Shocka311> awesome
[12:37] <bob> anyone know any good bandwidth testing software?

[12:38] <noelferreira> lots of things Rick_Timmis
[12:38] <firephoto> can anyone with feisty installed tell me if the pata_marvell module is there by default?
[12:38] <noelferreira> Rick_Timmis: vendor mesa
[12:38] <Rick_Timmis> Sure but does it say Direct Rendering yes ?
[12:38] <noelferreira> Rick_Timmis: direct rendering no
[12:38] <lnknpk04> ok.  now when i do ndiswrapper -l it says driver installed
[12:38] <wirelessnoob> Hi: I have just installed a Belkin 5Fd700uk wireless card.  I've installed no drivers, but wireless assistant can see the router (and other peoples).  I've got 128-bit WEP working on windows, but can't get w/less asst to authenticate.  Am I doing something obviously stupid?
[12:38] <lnknpk04> at least that worked...
[12:39] <gili> i have a very simple question....?
[12:39] <kennyb0328> I have a hpscanjet 5100c scanner.  Would like to get it working on linux ubuntu
[12:39] <lnknpk04> now, its not saying "driver present, hardware present" yet.  Is there something i'm missing?
[12:39] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, have you removed the bcm43xx module so it doesn't conflicts with ndiswrapper ?
[12:40] <gili> how do i format a device that show up in my computer
[12:40] <Progon> Is it true, that the java plugin of jre-6-linux-amd64.bin doesn't work with the firefox 2.0 x64? Or how can i install it on edgy?
[12:40] <lynucs> guys, how do i use entrance instead of gdm on ubuntu??
[12:40] <ortega10> how do i make the clock synchronize with a web server more often, or at least on startup?  right now it does it once a day (i guess?), so it's never in sync when i boot from windows to linux...
[12:40] <lnknpk04> i wasn't sure how.  Sorry
[12:40] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, sudo modprobe -r bcm4"xx
[12:40] <HymnToLife> 3*
[12:40] <Fireal> OK, I'll throw this out there.  I want to convert video files into mpeg-4 (aka mpeg4).  I think mencoder might be the answer but I cannot for the life of me figure it out.  Any suggestions?
[12:41] <lnknpk04> done
[12:41] <Rick_Timmis> noelferreira Have you taken a look at your Xorg.log and looked for EE entries, i.e cat /var/log/Xorg.log | grep EE
[12:41] <n2diy> ortega10: right click on the clock, and select adjust date and time, sync options are there.
[12:41] <seamus_ie> yea cheers HymnToLife, I have bought a new hp pavillion laptop with a dual core 64 bit amd processor and I would like to avoid any hardship involved in getting edgy install on the laptop, hence I'm trying to find people with experience
[12:41] <lynucs> anyone? how do i set entrance login manager as standard instead of gmd
[12:41] <lnknpk04> it didn't give me any messages, it just skipped down to a new line.  is there any way to check that it was actually removed?
[12:41] <gregcha117> everytime i try to install kaffeine i get "can't find x libraries. pleace check in your installation and add the correct paths"
[12:41] <lynucs> isntead of gdm
[12:41] <noelferreira> i will paste bin it to you Rick_Timmis
[12:41] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, it's normal behavior
[12:41] <kyncani> gili: qtparted | gparted
[12:41] <ortega10> n2diy: there aren't really many options... i can't configure how often or anything like that
[12:41] <lnknpk04> ok.  Just wanted to be sure
[12:41] <HymnToLife> it it wasn't removed, you would'be got an error message
[12:42] <HymnToLife> ve*
[12:42] <Rick_Timmis> noelferreira Does your new ATI card use Systems RAM, and have you enabled it use in your BIOS >?
[12:42] <gili> kyncani: yes i know gparted....is there no simple built in disk managment app to fomat a device
[12:42] <n2diy> ortega10: then you could setup a cron job to use "ntp pool.ntp.org"
[12:42] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, what does ndiswrapper -l tell you now ?
[12:42] <lnknpk04> Hymntolife: checking
[12:42] <noelferreira> Rick_Timmis: http://pastebin.ca/297265
[12:42] <ortega10> n2diy: ok thanks
[12:42] <Rick_Timmis> OK 2 minutes
[12:42] <HymnToLife> gili, gparted not simple enough ?
[12:42] <lnknpk04> just driver installed
[12:42] <lnknpk04> nothing about the hardware
[12:43] <seamus_ie> Fireal: ffmpeg will do this for you I think
[12:43] <HymnToLife> hmm
[12:43] <lnknpk04> weird, eh?
[12:43] <Fireal> thanks seamus will give it a try
[12:43] <HymnToLife> try runing the -i part again
[12:43] <kyncani> gili: qtparted and gparted are both simple apps i think
[12:43] <lnknpk04> maybe try removing the driver and installing it again?
[12:43] <lnknpk04> k
[12:43] <ortega10> Fireal: install audacity
[12:44] <gili> yes gparted is very simple....i just thought there was something out of the box
[12:44] <gili> got it....thanks
[12:44] <lnknpk04> nope.  just "driver installed"
[12:44] <Rick_Timmis> noelferreira can ou pate bin you rXorg.conf and the output from glxinfo also please
[12:44] <BHSPitMonkey> got a problem
[12:45] <siv0x> Can anyone tell me how to receive mic capture, or how to unmute my mic.. my sound card is an audigy 2 zs
[12:45] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, are you sure you have a Broadcom ?
[12:45] <lnknpk04> oh yeah
[12:45] <superkirbyartist> How do you load power manager in Xfce?
[12:45] <lnknpk04> what i sent you came from the terminal
[12:45] <BHSPitMonkey> I tried to install j2re in synaptic, but it's on a Licence Agreement screen in the "terminal" part, and I can't select "OK". (Like I said, it's synaptic; I can't interact with the terminal output"
[12:45] <lnknpk04> and in device manager it says broadcom
[12:45] <BHSPitMonkey> what can I do?
[12:45] <noelferreira> ok Rick_Timmis
[12:46] <seamus_ie> superkirbyartist: what do you mean by powermanager?
[12:46] <JAyRULE> question! i just formated another harddrive and used the mount command so that it could be of use.  im planning on editing the file fstab so that it is mounted every single time i log in, but do i need to add it someplace so that it is unmounted everytime i log off?
[12:46] <superkirbyartist> superkirbyartist: The one that indicates battery power etc.
[12:46] <n2diy> BHSPitMonkey: Scroll through the agreement, then ok should be enabled.
[12:46] <lnknpk04> weird thing is that i was getting a dif. problem  last night, but it actually recognized the hardware.  That was before the format and reinstall this morning
[12:46] <BHSPitMonkey> n2diy, I'll go try... it wasn't responding to anything
[12:46] <superkirbyartist> seamus_ie: The one that indicates battery power etc.
[12:46] <seamus_ie> install the plugin through synaptic and then right click on the xfce-panel
[12:46] <compengi> hey gnomefreak
[12:47] <superkirbyartist> How do I use my PCMCIA modem?
[12:47] <gnomefreak> hi
[12:48] <BHSPitMonkey> n2diy, ok, it must have been stuck before... now it's responsive
[12:48] <BHSPitMonkey> thanks
[12:48] <Rick_Timmis> noelferreira here what I believe is the problem, lines from you Xorg.log -
[12:48] <Rick_Timmis> (II) RADEON(0): PCI card detected
[12:48] <Rick_Timmis> (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering broken on XPRESS 200 and 200M
[12:48] <Rick_Timmis> (II) RADEON(0): Detected total video RAM=65536K, accessible=131072K (PCI BAR=131072K)
[12:48] <n2diy> BHSPitMonkey: cool.
[12:48] <MAVIN> join #ubuntu-it
[12:48] <jamesstansell> hi - does anyone know how to set WPA using rutilt?
[12:48] <n2diy> !it
[12:48] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[12:48] <jamesstansell> !rutilt
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rutilt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <cld2> anyone know if there is a problem with the amd64 mythtv package?
[12:48] <Rick_Timmis> looks like DRI is not functional with this driver and card
[12:48] <cockroach> is there a way to de-eyecandify ubuntu? my graphics card (and the whole system) is rather slow, thus the effects (like the shading when logging out) appear quite ridiculous ... :)
[12:49] <seanj> you could use xubuntu on a slower machine
[12:49] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, hmm, actually the drivers I sent you are for BMC4306, not 4309
[12:49] <Music_Shuffle> cockroach, uhh, you could turn off a few more things, but really you might just want to try XFCE or Flux.
[12:49] <HymnToLife> maybe that the problem
[12:49] <noelferreira> ya Rick_Timmis it says then that dry is not capable
[12:49] <seamus_ie> cockroach: try xfce, I had the same problem and loved xfce
[12:49] <HymnToLife> pastebin outputs of lspci and lspci -n
[12:49] <lnknpk04> sure
[12:49] <noelferreira> or something like tha
[12:49] <noelferreira> taht
[12:49] <lnknpk04> !pastebin
[12:49] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:50] <BHSPitMonkey> cockroach, xubuntu flies on such machines; look into it
[12:50] <Music_Shuffle> MasterShrek, welcome back. ;P
[12:50] <MasterShrek> :)
[12:50] <JAyRULE> QUESTION! i just formated another harddrive and used the mount command so that it could be of use.  im planning on editing the file fstab so that it is mounted every single time i log in, but do i need to add it someplace so that it is unmounted everytime i log off?
[12:50] <cockroach> Music_Shuffle: is it as well-integrated as gnome? i'm using xfce on another machine (debian), but for the linux newcomer (who gets the pc) it might be a little difficult...
[12:50] <MasterShrek> no JAyRULE it will do it automatically
[12:50] <Music_Shuffle> cockroach, yeah you should be fine.
[12:50] <noelferreira> Rick_Timmis: however i have the same problem with fglrx drivers
[12:50] <jamesstansell> when I run rutilt I get "can't find adhocmode private ioctl"  This is edgy. I don't need adhoc, just managed.
[12:50] <cockroach> BHSPitMonkey: xubuntu == ubuntu with xfce?
[12:50] <BHSPitMonkey> cockroach, yeah, like Kubuntu is ubuntu with KDE, etc
[12:50] <JAyRULE> oh okay thanks MasterShrek
[12:50] <siv0x> Wow. this is so annoying.. Does anyone know how to unmute a mic, or how to get mic capture? my sound card is an audigy2
[12:51] <NYBravest24> if i have a linksys wireless adapter installed and i install ubuntu will it work ok?
[12:51] <seamus_ie> cockroach: xfce is pretty well integrated, make sure to use the Thunar file manager over xffm
[12:51] <Rick_Timmis> neolferrreira do you have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 or 200M
[12:51] <MasterShrek> siv0x check your alsamixer
[12:51] <cockroach> okay. so is there a way to migrate an existing installation or should i just reinstall?
[12:51] <harrisony1> JAyRULE: no i dont think
[12:51] <lynucs> how do iremove gdm from the bootsequence??
[12:51] <siv0x> MasterShrek: already did.
[12:51] <lnknpk04> HymnTolife: heres the first
[12:51] <lnknpk04> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39521/
[12:51] <BHSPitMonkey> lynucs, you could go to System>Admin.>Services and uncheck it
[12:52] <Rick_Timmis> sivox I may be able to help what window manager are you running ?
[12:52] <BHSPitMonkey> lynucs, "Graphical login manager" there
[12:52] <lynucs> BHSPitMonkey: and how to set another login manager??
[12:52] <jamesstansell> NYBravest24: there's a chance, especially if don't know care about wireless encryption
[12:52] <BHSPitMonkey> lynucs, kdm? or what
[12:52] <lnknpk04> HymnToLife: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39522/ the second
[12:52] <lynucs> entrance
[12:52] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: gdm
[12:52] <Rick_Timmis> sivox sorry I mean Gnome or KDE ?
[12:53] <fu-k-t> hi
[12:53] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: gnome
[12:53] <PWill> GAH! Are the archives down? I've been stuck at "99% [Waiting for headers]  " for about 5 minutes on a 5mbit connection...
[12:53] <lynucs> BHSPitMonkey: it is entrance..
[12:53] <fu-k-t> how do i change a user's group from the command lone?
[12:53] <jamesstansell> NYBravest24: which linksys do you have?  Have you tried to read about it yet?
[12:53] <fu-k-t> *line
[12:53] <BHSPitMonkey> lynucs, do they have a hannel? :P
[12:53] <n2diy> fu-k-t: chgroup
[12:53] <BHSPitMonkey> *channel
[12:53] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, could you paste the lspci line regarding your wireless ? (just one line, no ned to pastebin)
[12:53] <lnknpk04> sure
[12:53] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: but if needed i will bootup on KDE.. just so i get this mic working : (
[12:53] <lynucs> BHSPitMonkey: a channel? yes, but they redirected me to ubuntu folks :D
[12:54] <Rick_Timmis> sivox Sorry then I am not sure, I now that KDE sets up the audigy in half duplex hence the mike fails to work. What sound system are you using ALSA ?
[12:54] <lnknpk04> 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03)
[12:54] <cerridwen> bcm crap
[12:54] <abram> :-)
[12:54] <fu-k-t> n2diy: not a file's group, a user's group
[12:54] <abram> hi
[12:54] <Lunch> Here's a Noob question, do I need a firewall with this?
[12:54] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: yes
[12:54] <kyncani> fu-k-t: usermod
[12:54] <fu-k-t> thanks, kyncani
[12:55] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: My mic doesnt work on either, KDE or Gnome :\
[12:55] <n2diy> fu-k-t: are you in X, or the command line?
[12:55] <fu-k-t> command line
[12:55] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: but yes. I normally use KDE.. think this has something to do with why my mic doesnt work?
[12:55] <Rick_Timmis> sivox You probably want to take a look at ALSA-Mixer etc.. try a start with man alsa and take it from there. ALSA provides a subset of commeand line tools that will help you fix this but you will need to do som RTFM
[12:56] <kyncani> fu-k-t: although editing /etc/passwd and /etc/group is easier
[12:56] <fu-k-t> that's what i was looking for
[12:56] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R76521na.EXE <= extract with cabextract
[12:56] <fu-k-t> couldn't remember that stuff was in passwd
[12:56] <seanj> Lunch, probably not
[12:56] <lnknpk04> HymnToLife - does it matter if i just use the command "unzip" ?
[12:57] <seanj> I've gotten away without a firewall for months
[12:57] <HymnToLife> it's an EXE, you'll have trouble unzipping it ;;)
[12:57] <lnknpk04> it works on those
[12:57] <lnknpk04> sec
[12:57] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: I dont really know much about Alsa and all that i'm pretty new on linux.
[12:58] <Lunch> seanj, I'm a windows user, not having at least a firewall running at all times is really scary to me. Thanks.
[12:58] <lnknpk04> done
[12:58] <Rick_Timmis> sivox OK that's not gonna be a problem, certainly the Augidgy 2 card will work you just need to configure it - here's a useful link http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/8234/print
[12:58] <lnknpk04> all downloaded and unzipped
[12:59] <HymnToLife> !firewall | Lunch
[12:59] <ubotu> Lunch: 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).
[12:59] <abram> 8-)
[12:59] <HymnToLife> you have one running, just you don't notice it cause it's so well designed :)
[12:59] <seanj> Lunch, you could try using Synaptic to install firestarter firewall
[12:59] <lnknpk04> HymnToLife: which file should i use to install
[12:59] <seanj> it's similar to things like ZoneAlarm
[01:00] <lnknpk04> bcmwl5?
[01:00] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: i'm pretty sure my Audigy2 card is working.. just my mic isnt working
[01:01] <Rick_Timmis> sivox OK does it work under windows, or elsehwere ?
[01:01] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, the ndiswrapper Wiki says to use bcmwl5a.inf in directory AR
[01:01] <lnknpk04> yup, i see it.  sec
[01:02] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: yes, it works under windows.
[01:02] <binkles> irc.p2p-network.net
[01:02] <lnknpk04> ok.  it displays "Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2" 10 times..
[01:02] <buchan> Anyone know how I could get python-qt4 4.1.1 installed via deb when it doesn't exist in the repos? Excuse my stupidity, I'm not a Ubuntu/Debian user.
[01:03] <Rick_Timmis> OK So then the hardware is good. Which application are you trying to record into ?
[01:03] <lnknpk04> woohoo
[01:03] <lnknpk04> now it shows
[01:03] <nailz> Lunch easy firewall to get/use is Firestarter (I use one all the time m8)
[01:03] <lnknpk04> hardware present
[01:03] <HymnToLife> :)
[01:03] <lnknpk04> :)
[01:03] <HymnToLife> now do         sudo depmod -a && sudo modprobe ndiwsrapper
[01:03] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: Not record.. Just comunicate through TeamSpeak.
[01:03] <lnknpk04> gotcha, sec
[01:04] <lnknpk04> what does depmod -a do?
[01:04] <HymnToLife> and don't forget to blacklist the damned bcm43xx so it won't mess everything up at next reboot :)
[01:04] <lnknpk04> where do i go to blacklist it?
[01:04] <Rick_Timmis> TeamSpeak Mmm could this be the problem ? are you bel to record into audacity ?
[01:04] <Rick_Timmis> bel -able
[01:05] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[01:05] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis, havent tried.
[01:05] <bob> lnknpk04, you should have tried to use the bcm43xx driver instead ndiswrapper is just a hack
[01:05] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: again i'm new with linux : D
[01:05] <HymnToLife> add a line at the end like this :                  blacklist bcm43xx
[01:05] <HymnToLife> bob, I've never ever seen the bcm43xx working
[01:06] <bob> HymnToLife, I am using it now
[01:06] <bob> HymnToLife, you need the bcm43xx-fwcutter package to get the firmware
[01:06] <Rick_Timmis> OK so may be worth installing and testing audacity you can get this with the synaptics pakcage manager - Newbies we love em so no worries :-)
[01:06] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: haha
[01:07] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: will i be able to just sudo apt-get install audacity ?
[01:07] <Rick_Timmis> yep
[01:07] <Rick_Timmis> Your not that new then LOL
[01:07] <trpr> Rick_Timmis: I dunno. apt-get is the first thing i show to newbies ;)
[01:07] <psweetma_> hi, is anyone good on firefox 2 and plugins?  i can't get mplayer working as a plugin
[01:08] <siv0x> eh, I'm just remembering from about 2 years ago
[01:08] <bruenig> psweetma_, yeah, what is the problem?
[01:08] <psweetma_> hi bruenig, since i upgraded to firefox 2 lots of my multimedia stuff ain't working.  i'm not sure quite why
[01:09] <bruenig> psweetma_, what do you mean you upgraded to it?
[01:09] <DigitalNinja> What's the difference between gstreamer, totem and mplayer? Most of the multimedia instructoins say something about gstreamer and totem but nothing about mplayer.
[01:09] <ali_> hi
[01:09] <ali_> ? pengy
[01:09] <bruenig> gstreamer is not a multimedia player
[01:09] <psweetma_> bruenig, i've installed firefox2 in my home dir.  the plugins dir there is empty, but there's stuff in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins which seems to be getting picked up
[01:09] <BHSPitMonkey> DigitalNinja, gstreamer isn't a player
[01:09] <siccccness> i just installed ubuntu but it doesnt load gnome
[01:09] <ali_> ? peng
[01:09] <psweetma_> bruenig, for example, java applets are working, and flash too
[01:09] <ali_> hi
[01:09] <siccccness> sends me straight to command line
[01:10] <ali_> what is the peng place
[01:10] <bruenig> psweetma_, so it looks like this ~/firefox?
[01:10] <n2diy> siccccness: what happens when you type startx?
[01:10] <siccccness> nothing
[01:10] <DigitalNinja> BHSPitMonkey: What is it and what's it doing?
[01:10] <psweetma_> bruenig, yep
[01:10] <siccccness> i did the install via PXE
[01:10] <n2diy> siccccness: nothing?
[01:11] <BHSPitMonkey> DigitalNinja, programs will use gstreamer... basically it translates your files into something the sound server can use.
[01:11] <siccccness> i just did a "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx"
[01:11] <siccccness> its installing
[01:11] <BHSPitMonkey> it's made up of plugins, for various file formats, etc
[01:11] <n2diy> siccccness: good luck.
[01:11] <[Relic] > Is there any app that will allow for showing of bandwidth up/down in the bar rather than in an actual application?
[01:11] <webmaren> i/part
[01:11] <DigitalNinja> BHSPitMonkey: Do I need it?
[01:12] <siccccness> n2diy: why wouldnt a gui load at start up after installation?
[01:12] <bruenig> psweetma_, well what I would do is, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* ~/firefox/plugins
[01:12] <n2diy> siccccness: it had trouble detecting your video card or monitor.
[01:12] <BHSPitMonkey> DigitalNinja, you already have it... it's advisable to install the extra plugin sets that aren't included by default ("bad" and "ugly")
[01:13] <bruenig> psweetma_, should symlink all of the plugins
[01:13] <DigitalNinja> BHSPitMonkey: I see
[01:13] <BHSPitMonkey> DigitalNinja, totem uses gstreamer as a backend
[01:13] <psweetma_> bruenig, ok i'll try that hang on
[01:13] <BHSPitMonkey> buh-bye.
[01:13] <siv0x> Rick_Timmis: Ahh, i gotta go.. Thanks for sharing this information.. i'll bookmark that site and that should help me out
[01:13] <siv0x> Rick_timmis: Bye
[01:14] <Rick_Timmis> sivox see you
[01:14] <mEz> x-chat is weird..
[01:14] <bruenig> mEz, how..
[01:14] <mEz> just not home like mirc? lol
[01:15] <psweetma_> bruenig, yeah that's sorted it, thanks!  i'm confused as to how it was picking some plugins up before (such as java) when my ~/firefox/plugins dir was empty, do you know how that works?
[01:15] <siccccness> I just did a fresh install when I boot it sends me to Ubuntu 6.10 ubuntufast tty1
[01:15] <siccccness> why does gnome not start at boot?
[01:15] <bruenig> psweetma_, I don't know,
[01:16] <n2diy> siccccness: now what does startx do?
[01:16] <Fujoor> lo people
[01:16] <psweetma_> bruenig. oh well, thanks anyway.  i've just tried the mplayer plug on a couple of sites, and it's only playing about 1 sec and then pausing, but at least it's trying to play it now!
[01:17] <Riyonuk> I disabled all Ipv6
[01:17] <Riyonuk> must I do it in firefox?
[01:18] <bruenig> psweetma_, well flash is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ libflashplayer.so and java is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so, the rest of the stuff was in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[01:18] <bruenig> psweetma_, so it must have just not been picking /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[01:18] <siccccness> n2diy answer my pm?
[01:18] <n2diy> siccccness: I'm not registered.
[01:18] <Riyonuk> n2diy, Im on ubuntu now :)
[01:19] <n2diy> Riyonuk: cool, what was the fix?
[01:19] <n2diy> siccccness: I'm not registered, I can't receive PMs.
[01:19] <psweetma_> bruenig, i think you're right, (i thought i'd already tried symlinking to all the plugins, but obviously i hadn't, that or i made a mistake)
[01:19] <Riyonuk> n2diy, Ill get the link
[01:20] <Riyonuk> n2diy, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87798
[01:20] <Riyonuk> It helped to an extent >_>
[01:21] <n2diy> Is it just me, or are the forums slow to load?
[01:21] <bruenig> n2diy, they are slow, lot of traffic
[01:22] <Riyonuk> If I could fully get ubuntu's ipv6 issues solved, then I would love it over windows, right now I dont yet
[01:22] <psweetma_> bruenig, have just configured mplayer plugin to use oss and it's working a treat now.  nice
[01:22] <n2diy> Riyonuk: wow, most of that stuff is over my head.
[01:22] <bruenig> alsa > oss
[01:22] <n2diy> bruenig: roger on that.
[01:23] <bruenig> only 4 months away until feisty!
[01:24] <MrSprout> Hey guys, could I get some MPlayer help?
[01:25] <Riyonuk> n2diy, your kidding? It took me 2min to do it >_>
[01:25] <Riyonuk> :o
[01:25] <MrSprout> Whenever I open a video file in MPlayer I get the following error.
[01:25] <MrSprout> "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."
[01:25] <lnknpk04> woohoo
[01:25] <lnknpk04> back on wireless
[01:26] <n2diy> Riyonuk: I just read the entire thread, it isn't as daunting as the first few posts make it seem to be.
[01:26] <JosefK> MrSprout, edit your .mplayer/config file and change vo= to something sensible
[01:26] <MrSprout> JosefK, I've been editing it
[01:26] <MrSprout> only I have no idea what to change it to
[01:26] <JosefK> mplayer -vo - help for a list
[01:26] <MrSprout> vo=xv
[01:27] <MrSprout> is what it is right now
[01:27] <MrSprout> alright, thanks
[01:27] <JosefK> MrSprout, my mplayer config @ http://randolphcarter.myby.co.uk/linux/config
[01:27] <JosefK> could be handy for debugging/testing, but that works fine here
[01:27] <MrSprout> brilliant, thanks
[01:27] <Panagant> I downloaded a file to install on Ubuntu as i am a newbiw to Linux/Ubuntu, i have no idea how to do this
[01:28] <MrSprout> What filetype Panagant?
[01:28] <Panagant> Google earth
[01:28] <Riyonuk> :)
[01:28] <Riyonuk> I hate havint to resort to hacks just to get internet working <_<
[01:28] <MrSprout> use automatix for that, it will do it for you.
[01:28] <bruenig> !automatix
[01:28] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:28] <JosefK> !danger
[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about danger - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <lnknpk04> !wpa

[01:29] <Lam_> how do i alias rm to rm -i?
[01:30] <cafuego_> alias rm='rm -i'
[01:30] <JosefK> stick it in your .bashrc, or (preferably) stick it in your .aliases and have your .bashrc source it
[01:30] <fildo> !codecs
[01:30] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:30] <n2diy> Lam_: open your .bashrc file, there are examples in there.
[01:30] <cafuego_> Pop that in .bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc
[01:30] <Panagant> is there a standard line command to install programs/applications
[01:30] <psweetma_> Panagant, have you got a GoogleEarthLinux.bin file?
[01:30] <bruenig> Lam_, yeah, I usually set it up to use a .bash_aliases
[01:30] <Panagant> yes
[01:30] <bruenig> but that is probably unnecessary
[01:31] <psweetma_> panagant, is it on your desktop?
[01:31] <cafuego_> Panagant: I have a prepackaged one that comes as .deb file.
[01:31] <Lam_> neat. thanks guys
[01:31] <Panagant> yes
[01:31] <Panagant> psweetma: you have a solution
[01:31] <cafuego_> Panagant: Might be worth considering, as it auto-upgrades when I repackage new ones google releases.
[01:31] <psweetma_> panagant, to install the .bin file open a terminal window, cd to your desktop and run "sh ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin"
[01:32] <Panagant> i will try
[01:32] <JosefK> any emacs gurus around?  I'm wondering if the (select-window ...) (find-file ...) could be written more succinctly
[01:32] <cafuego_> Panagant:  http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/edgy-cafuego/google/
[01:32] <JosefK> in http://rafb.net/p/jkg5ar31.html
[01:32] <viking09> Is anyone expert on WLAN cards and ubuntu configuration? I have radio access, have assigned static IP but no ping through available :-(
[01:33] <plyp_werk> viking09: type iwconfig  and see if you have the frequency and the ESSID set
[01:33] <plyp_werk> viking09: having the right Frequency and ESSID is like having the right cable plugged in
[01:33] <plyp_werk> if you don't have it, you're not going to be able to ping
[01:34] <plyp_werk> viking09: also, "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning" can list the available wireless networks
[01:34] <plyp_werk> or change "wlan0" to whatever your wireless interface is
[01:34] <plyp_werk> mine is "eth1" instead, for example
[01:34] <n2diy> plyp_werk: where were you two hours ago, when I was trying to help someone with a similair problem? :)
[01:35] <plyp_werk> n2diy: heh...i was trying to install drivers for my LCD brightness controls ;)
[01:35] <abra1> hey... it isn't a waste .... I have the same problem too
[01:35] <n2diy> plyp_werk: roger that, did they work?
[01:36] <plyp_werk> n2diy: not yet.  i have to remember how to make an initrd
[01:36] <plyp_werk> i should find that make-kpackage thing to make a kernel debian package
[01:36] <cafuego_> that's in kernel-package
[01:36] <plyp_werk> ahh
[01:36] <plyp_werk> thx
[01:36] <JosefK> build-essential kernel-package libncurses-devel
[01:36] <n2diy> plyp_werk: good luck, and I'm going to make a note of that iwconfig command.
[01:36] <cafuego_> libncurses5-dev
[01:36] <plyp_werk> n2diy: ya, for wireless, the essential commands are iwconfig and iwlist
[01:36] <cafuego_> libncurses-devel is a redhatism
[01:37] <Grok_> i installed eclipse 3.1 via synaptic. i wanted to develop in C which required me to upgrade to 3.2 so i could use CDT. 3.2 is not in the respositories so i downloaded the sdk tar file. i see that it runs ok without an "install" routine but should I remove my old version? i see that the original is spread all over the place with a "whereis eclipse".
[01:37] <JosefK> ah, thanks cafuego, I usually have to search for that one
[01:37] <plyp_werk> n2diy: to make it go, i normally do a scan, then set the essid and the channel, then i can ifup
[01:37] <psweetma_> Grok_, you can run Eclipse versions side by side, it's a very tidy app
[01:37] <Grok_> psweetma_, thanks
[01:38] <n2diy> plyp_werk: ok, I'm going to cut and paste this info for future ref.
[01:38] <plyp_werk> n2diy: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid foo channel bar    is the manual way to do it....but gnome network manager applet is easier for most people
[01:38] <viking09> I have ESSID set correctly, Link quality is 74/92, so I have access for sure.. Chaneel is not indicated in iwconfig response..
[01:38] <MrSprout> JosefK
[01:38] <plyp_werk> viking09: does iwconfig list a frequency?
[01:38] <JosefK> yup MrSprout?
[01:38] <MrSprout> I've been editing it with no success
[01:38] <MrSprout> umm
[01:38] <MrSprout> lemmie paste something
[01:38] <frank_b> just checking, will this procedure only extract the file to the folder I'm in and not install that same file? -> "Extract a single file named "blurf" (or a group of files named "blurf*" from a Debian archive: dpkg --fsys-tarfile foo_VVV-RRR.deb | tar -xf - blurf*"
[01:38] <JosefK> that's unusual, thanks, the output would be interesting
[01:38] <MrSprout> # Specify default video driver (see -vo help for a list).
[01:38] <MrSprout> #vo=xv
[01:38] <MrSprout> # Use SDL video with the aalib subdriver by default.
[01:38] <MrSprout> #vo = sdl:aalib
[01:38] <psweetma_> Grok_, no problem.  One thing to watch out for, you should have a .eclipse dir in your home dir.  This should be deleted (or renamed) before you start up the new version.
[01:39] <MrSprout> I cant see what's wrong there..
[01:39] <JosefK> nothing's wrong, it's commented out
[01:39] <psweetma_> Grok_, this dir holds a few internal config settings about the latest version of eclipse you used, and it's not supposed to be backwards compatible
[01:39] <psweetma_> Grok_, having said that, sometimes it just works anyway
[01:39] <JosefK> MrSprout, I'd look for another vo= somewhere in that file, and also check your shell has a DISPLAY variable (echo $DISPLAY)
[01:40] <plyp_werk> viking09: channels correspond to different frequencies
[01:40] <grout_> how can i download updates in my lamp server?
[01:40] <Grok_> psweetma_, thank you very much. i did give it a whirl before asking and it did indeed work but I'll take your advice anyways.
[01:40] <plyp_werk> viking09: so if you have one set, it'll display a frequency in iwconfig
[01:40] <klhrevolutionist> how to disable "/etc/init.d/hdparm" ?
[01:40] <MrSprout> it returned :0.0
[01:40] <MrSprout>  JosefK
[01:40] <JosefK> MrSprout, if you want that line to actually do something, remove the leading '#', and that output's fine MrSprout
[01:40] <Derek> hi, I'm trying to get ubuntu to boot on my computer and I'm running into a strange problem
[01:41] <Derek> I boot and after it goes through the loading screen with the bar, my monitor goes blank
[01:41] <Derek> I just tried it on my laptop and the boot disk works fine
[01:41] <Lunch> I'm running 10.6 on an AMD64, is there no hope of getting flash working?
[01:41] <MrSprout> JosefK, I think I'm editing the wrong thing
[01:41] <MrSprout> mplayer.conf?
[01:41] <liquiddoom> Lunch: Linux32 with firefox
[01:41] <Music_Shuffle> 10.6? Advanced, are you?
[01:41] <JosefK> MrSprout, ~/.mplayer/config
[01:41] <plyp_werk> Derek: i heard someone say that they had to turn off "Composite" in xorg.conf when that happens
[01:42] <grout_> how can i download updates in my lamp server?
[01:42] <wirelessnoob> I'm having some wierd problems trying to get a Belkin 5FD700uk wireless card working (on dapper).  DNS appears to be *really* misbehaving: I'm trying to access the Ubuntu forums and I'm getting a BBC (my homepage) 404!  When resolution happens, it seems to be extremely slow - every new site request hangs for about 15-20 secs, then it all suddeny arrives at 'normal' broadband speed...
[01:42] <JosefK> it's John Titor!
[01:42] <plyp_werk> Derek: don't ask me how to do it, but it's what i heard ;)
[01:42] <Derek> heh, well I need to eat dinner, but maybe someone can help me when I get back
[01:42] <Derek> thanks
[01:42] <plyp_werk> wirelessnoob: try a different DNS server?
[01:42] <plyp_werk> wirelessnoob: you can add a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf
[01:42] <Riyonuk> My resolution is set to the highest but the icons still seem to big for me, in windows 1280x1024 was huge, in ubuntu its small
[01:43] <viking09> plyp_werk: Yes, frequency indicated, phew. 2.462 which should correlate to channel 11..
[01:43] <gonzokce> join #polska
[01:43] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: You can add extra resolutions in xorg.conf
[01:43] <plyp_werk> viking09: what does it say for "Mode:" in iwconfig?
[01:43] <plyp_werk> viking09: it should probably say "Managed"
[01:44] <klhrevolutionist> no way to disable "/etc/init.d/hdparm" ?
[01:44] <wirelessnoob> Sorry, plyp_werk, I should have been clearer - it's working fine through cable, just not wireless...both are on DHCP and set to find everything automatically.
[01:44] <plyp_werk> wirelessnoob: is the same router doing both wireless and wired?
[01:45] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Or, if you haven't modified your xorg.conf, you can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and it will ask you what resolutions you want to use
[01:45] <viking09> plyp_werk: Mode: Managed
[01:45] <sachac> Hi, all! Any chance someone here has gotten a Linksys WPC11 v3 wireless card to work with WPA encryption under Ubuntu? I'm doing a Google search on my own, but am dropping in just in case someone else has solved the same problem. =)
[01:45] <grout_> how can i download updates in my lamp server?
[01:45] <wirelessnoob> plyp_werk, yes, although I'm not trying to do both at the same time (!)
[01:45] <Riyonuk> alrighty, ill try that
[01:46] <plyp_werk> viking09: ok, so it sounds like the wireless part is set up ok, as long as those settings correspond to what you see when you scan
[01:46] <plyp_werk> viking09: maybe you have the wrong subnet in ifconfig
[01:47] <viking09> plyp_werk: afriad not, same subnet as ethernet connection. Sounds like wifinoob and I are in a similar boat.
[01:47] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: If you run the dpkg-reconfigure command, it will make a backup of your current configuration which you can restore if it fails.
[01:48] <MrSprout> JosefK, nothing's working
[01:48] <MrSprout> D:
[01:48] <wirelessnoob> yeah, that too
[01:48] <sachac> Blast. It looks like I'm a bit out of luck wrt this WPC11v3 card...  How about this. Run the command "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
[01:50] <Bipolar> I need help port forwarding via ssh. I'm trying to listen on a remote servers port, and forward to my local machine. however, I can only get it to listen on localhost of the remote server, not the outside facing interface. my command is: ssh -R 5500:localhost:5500 root@myremoteserver
[01:50] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, ok I know that will make a backup, but how do I back it up if I mess something up? Wont my screen be all black >_>
[01:51] <plyp_werk> viking09: do you have ethernet going at the same time?
[01:51] <Theodor> how do I know the path of my mounted USB hdd ?
[01:51] <plyp_werk> viking09: maybe it's a routing problem
[01:51] <wirelessnoob> Hmm...in all seriousness...I'm still struggling to get the thing to work at all.  I can't touch the wireless card until I run wlassistant.  wlassistant can't actually connect for me, it fails every time, but when I do sudo dhclient ra0, it works
[01:51] <plyp_werk> viking09: "/sbin/route -n"
[01:51] <grout_> how can i download updates in my lamp server on the CLI?
[01:51] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: If it all fails, press crtl-alt-F1 and type "sudo cp /etc/C11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:51] <Angelus> !update
[01:51] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

[01:53] <siv0x> Anyone familiar with Wine and Steam? - I got Steam installed, and Counter Strike: Source but, everything works perfect. accept i dont have sound, ingame.
[01:56] <n2diy> zzzzzzzzzz
[01:56] <sachac> Oy, this web-based Java IRC client won't let me scroll back. How broken.
[01:57] <Riyonuk> Whats the proper way to install flash? The "click here to install flash" never works for me..I did it once, flash 9 beta or something like that, but I forgot
[01:57] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash?highlight=%28flash%29
[01:58] <gregcha117> i cant seem to install kaffeine 0.8.3 from the source, everytime i try it says makefile not found, but i cd'ed to the right directory and everything so i dunno whats going wrong?
[01:58] <Riyonuk> Gosh, you guys know everything..
[01:58] <Riyonuk> Makes you wonder
[01:58] <n2diy> Riyonuk: no we don't but the open source model does.
[01:58] <liquiddoom> lol
[01:59] <siv0x> What would be the cabextract command in ubuntu?
[01:59] <liquiddoom> That's weird... the wiki page on flash 9 under i386 disappeared
[01:59] <Bipolar> I've even tried the reverse. I logged into the remote server, and tried to listen on a local port and forward to my client. It *still* only listens on localhost.
[01:59] <Theodor> how do I know the path of my mounted USB hdd ?
[02:00] <JosefK> liquiddoom, flash9 is in the repos now
[02:00] <binarydigit> siv0x: cabextract....
[02:00] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, if I set resolution to something my monitor cant handle, will it revert to my previous? Or will I be left with a broken monitor
[02:00] <liquiddoom> JosefK: Awesome!
[02:00] <siv0x> siv0x@siv0x-desktop:~$ cabextract wine_gecko.cab
[02:00] <siv0x> bash: cabextract: command not found
[02:00] <siv0x> siv0x@siv0x-desktop:~$
[02:00] <binarydigit> install it
[02:00] <siv0x> binarydigit: what did i do wrong then?
[02:00] <binarydigit> not install it?
[02:00] <Panagant> psweetma: it worked but i had to create a desktop directory although there is an existing desktop  why is that
[02:00] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: You said you used 1280x1024 under Windows fine, right?
[02:00] <siv0x> binarydigit: cabextract: command not found?
[02:01] <Riyonuk> Yup
[02:01] <binarydigit> siv0x: obviously you didnt install it =)
[02:01] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Then here's what to do.
[02:01] <Riyonuk> Thats what Im using now...
[02:01] <Riyonuk> although it doesnt feel like it
[02:01] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Oh? Look in your xorg.conf. Do you see "1280x1024" anywhere?
[02:01] <AikonIV> hey all I've got a problem with sound - am running Edgy on a Toshiba Satellite M105, Intel HDA soundcard. Sound worked fine for a while, then it all of a sudden stopped, however it still works through my _headphones_, just not the regular speakers. I got the latest alsa drivers/libs, and added a line for the card in the alsa-base file. Any ideas?
[02:01] <dev> is there a way for me to turn on sloppy mouse focus?  just installed ubuntu, cant find out where to enable this hehe
[02:02] <jomino> AikonIV, maybe you turned your internal speakers  off?
[02:02] <siv0x> binarydigit: k whats the command to install it, this is the howto i'm going by: http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-December/024103.html
[02:02] <n2diy> AikonIV: check your settings in alsamixer.
[02:02] <liquiddoom> dev: System - Preferences - Windows
[02:03] <dev> ack!  of course i looked everywhere but there.  thanks alot liquiddoom
[02:03] <AikonIV> have checked alsamixer, levels are all fine.   jomino, are you talking about a hardware switch? or something in software (what?)
[02:03] <Theodor> When I plug in my external hdd using USB port, what does it mount? What's the path ?
[02:03] <binarydigit> !apt
[02:03] <ubotu> 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)
[02:03] <liquiddoom> Theodor: Check /media
[02:03] <binarydigit> siv0x: see that on apt
[02:03] <Panagant> i downlaoded Google Earth to my Desktop.  I tried to cd to Desktop but it was not there. i had to mkdir and move the downloaded file there to install. why did it not see the :original" desktop
[02:03] <helloyo> i just installed edgy with a new harddrive setup, i now get grub error 22 and can't boot, any help?
[02:04] <Riyonuk> Where is that?
[02:04] <jomino> AikonIV, software got that problem too turned my internal speakers off in the mixer-applet...
[02:04] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:04] <Theodor> I can put that path to the /etc/apt/sources.list so I can use my external hdd for apt-get, yes ?
[02:05] <AikonIV> jomino, oh ok I see. Under the switches panel there's a checkbox for "headphones", I had to enable that for headphone sound, but even when it is off there is nothing through the speakers
[02:05] <seamus_ie> Theodor: just use dpkg -i
[02:05] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, Yes I see 1280x1024 like 5 times
[02:05] <Theodor> what does dpkg has to do with apt-get ?
[02:05] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Aha. So you want a higher resolution?
[02:06] <seamus_ie> !apt
[02:06] <ubotu> 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)
[02:06] <plyp_werk> Theodor: dpkg is the program that installs and removes packages.  apt-get is the one for downloading them, but the it will use dpkg in the background
[02:06] <jomino> AikonIV, sry then i got no idea
[02:06] <Theodor> plyp_werk, thanks.
[02:06] <plyp_werk> Theodor: so if you already have the packages downloaded, you can use dpkg -i package.deb to manually install
[02:06] <n2diy> helloyo: take a look at: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/55749-grub-error-22-a.html
[02:06] <AikonIV> jomino, ok thanks anyway
[02:07] <Theodor> The problem is that the packages are on my DVD, and the DVDroom is playing a bitch, so I want to transfer the hole contents to my external hdd so I can use them.
[02:07] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, yup , if there was a way to find out what resolutions my monitor is capable of
[02:07] <Theodor> What's the best way to do it?
[02:07] <plyp_werk> Theodor: oh, so the DVD has a repository of all sorts of packages on it?
[02:07] <n2diy> Riyonuk: google for its specs.
[02:07] <Theodor> plyp_werk, it's the Ubuntu DVD.
[02:07] <Theodor> I need some basic packages.
[02:08] <plyp_werk> ahh, ok, then you could copy that to the hard drive and add a line for apt-get in sources.list
[02:08] <Riyonuk> I dont know what to google...
[02:08] <plyp_werk> the line would have file:// at the start instead of http://
[02:08] <Theodor> That's what I was saying ....
[02:08] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Well, I've never had a monitor break by running it at too high of a resolution...
[02:08] <plyp_werk> heh, sorry.  normally if it's just some packages by themselves then you can't use apt-get on them
[02:09] <plyp_werk> Theodor: but since you have a real repository with the right helper files, then apt-get will work
[02:09] <Theodor> I understand now that apt-get is for searching, dpkg is for installing.
[02:09] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: I can't find any programs which will tell you what resolutions it can use
[02:09] <Lunch> !ipod
[02:09] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> gah, I hate this
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> when I turn my master volume to zero, there's still sound playing
[02:09] <n2diy> liquiddoom: no the criticla spec is your h. sync.
[02:09] <Theodor> so the line will be: file://media/myexternalhdd ?
[02:09] <Theodor> should I put anything else ?
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> (it goes by my PCM volume)
[02:09] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, well in windows when I set it to high, it says "Resolution out of range" and reverts to my previous resolution, but Im new to ubuntu and dont know what will happen
[02:09] <Storkme> why is ubuntu 6.10's splash screen so damn boring
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> increasing the master only increases it
[02:09] <plyp_werk> Theodor: ya, one second...let me look it up
[02:10] <binarydigit> Storkme: cause you touch yoruself at night
[02:10] <liquiddoom> n2diy: aha, thanks.
[02:10] <Riyonuk> liquiddoom, is there a way to find out what my monitor is so I can search for it? Its an old monitor, thats all I know :p
[02:10] <n2diy> liquiddoom: and your better off staying at the low end of it.
[02:10] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Check your xorg.conf
[02:10] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Under Section "Monitor"
[02:11] <Riyonuk> Monitor		"IBM E74"?
[02:11] <whitehawk1966> lol @ binary
[02:11] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: Yep.
[02:11] <Riyonuk> Ok
[02:11] <n2diy> Riyonuk: I'm running an E74 here on my test box!
[02:11] <FliesLikeABrick> I need help from someone who knows grub inside and out.  I know general channel policy is to ask the question and wait for the answer, but I'm not going to bother explaining this except to someone who knows grub extremely well
[02:12] <Riyonuk> n2diy, :o is it white?
[02:12] <FliesLikeABrick> so if anyone wants to hear about my issue, let me know
[02:12] <n2diy> Riyonuk: nope it is black.
[02:12] <whitehawk1966> ive just eaten my grub
[02:12] <gregcha117> can someone help me out installing kaffeine 0.8.3, everytime i try to make install it nothing happens
[02:12] <binarydigit> FliesLikeABrick: #grub ?
[02:12] <Theodor> how can I open a file in the terminal in order to modify it?
[02:12] <Riyonuk> n2diy, well does it have 4 buttons on the bottom, the one to the far right being purple and the power button on the right hand side?
[02:12] <FliesLikeABrick> binarydigit dead channel
[02:12] <plyp_werk> Theodor: ok, you see the other entries in sources.list that start with "deb http://"?
[02:12] <bruenig> gregcha117, you have installed build-essential right?
[02:13] <Theodor> yeah plyp_werk.
[02:13] <plyp_werk> Theodor: yours should look like those, except with "file" instead of "http"
[02:13] <binarydigit> FliesLikeABrick: then you should either ask the question or just wait twiddling your thumbs
[02:13] <Theodor> plyp_werk, thanks man. I will try it now.
[02:13] <abram> vi
[02:13] <abram> right?
[02:13] <n2diy> Riyonuk: no purple button, but four buttons and a power button.
[02:13] <plyp_werk> so like "deb file:///home/foo/debian testing main" or something
[02:13] <Theodor> plyp_werk, how can I open the file from the terminal in order to change it ?
[02:13] <bruenig> it would probably be file:///home/foo/debian ./
[02:14] <Riyonuk> n2diy, I pretty much assume we have the same monitor, can you see how high the resolution goes :p
[02:14] <Hoag> Hey. Can anyone recommend any good audio conversion software? Eg .oggs from CDs into mp3s?
[02:14] <w3ccv> Theodor, is it a text file - then edit it with your favoprite editor.
[02:14] <Derek> I boot and after it goes through the loading screen with the bar, my monitor goes blank
[02:14] <Derek> can someone help me figure out what is wrong?
[02:14] <n2diy> Riyonuk: yep
[02:14] <Theodor> w3ccv, I don't have a favorite editor .. totally new ;p
[02:14] <bruenig> Hoag, soundconverter
[02:14] <bruenig> !info soundconverter
[02:14] <ubotu> soundconverter: convert sound files to other formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 48 kB, installed size 300 kB
[02:14] <whitehawk1966> maybe you SHutting down Derek?
[02:14] <Hoag> Thanks a lot :)
[02:14] <gregcha117> bruenig: yeah ive installed other programs this way
[02:15] <Theodor> is there like a very small command where I insert a line to a text ?
[02:15] <Derek> I'm trying to boot from the live cd before I install, and it just goes through a load screen and instead of booting up, the screen just goes black
[02:15] <w3ccv> Theodor, I guess  you're stuck using gedit
[02:15] <abram> type "vi"
[02:15] <Derek> and it doesn't turn back on
[02:15] <FliesLikeABrick> Theodor try the command "nano /path/to/file"
[02:15] <whitehawk1966> Linux drivers are tough on Video cards - try _ CTRL+ALT++  to cycle through  Derek
[02:15] <w3ccv> vi's not for new u sers - it'll move him back to windoze
[02:15] <abram> oh
[02:15] <abram> sorry
[02:15] <abram> :-/
[02:16] <Derek> whitehawk, can you explain that a  little bit more?  I'm not experienced at all with linux
[02:16] <FliesLikeABrick> nano is probably the best terminal editor for linux newcomers
[02:16] <whitehawk1966> search on the help pages to make sure your Hardware is supported
[02:16] <Elriff_Darkheart> anyone here have teamspeak ?
[02:16] <Derek> alright
[02:16] <FliesLikeABrick> depends why you ask Elriff_Darkheart
[02:16] <Derek> let me check really quick and I'll come back
[02:17] <Derek> I can't imagine it wouldn't be though, it's just an ATI
[02:17] <Elriff_Darkheart> i am trying to set up the client and can't get any sound from it
[02:17] <Storkme> why is ubuntu 6.10's splash screen so damn boring
[02:17] <Elriff_Darkheart> or input to it
[02:17] <n2diy> Riyonuk: here is a page with the specs:http://www5.pc.ibm.com/nz/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_6332PCS?OpenDocument
[02:17] <Theodor> Guys, do you know where the packages are located on the DVD. I don't want to copy the hole DVD to my external, it will take time ...
[02:17] <n2diy> Riyonuk: here is a page with the specs:  http://www5.pc.ibm.com/nz/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_6332PCS?OpenDocument
[02:17] <plyp_werk> Theodor: you only want certain specific packages?
[02:18] <whitehawk1966> Maybe you see yourself -Storkme
[02:18] <binarydigit> Storkme: i told you already, cause you touch yourself at night
[02:18] <Theodor> plyp_werk, I need like 4 .. I was trying to install Alien earlier and I couldn't as I was missing some packages.
[02:18] <abram> i try to set my wifi card to active and when i go back into network it is not active
[02:18] <drivera90> So what app is there for p2p?
[02:19] <band-aid> Hi guys, who can help me get wireless working on my new laptop?
[02:19] <liquiddoom> drivera90: gtk-gnutella
[02:19] <Riyonuk> How can I make it so when I drag a file from one folder to another, I dont get a permission denied error? I hate using mv
[02:19] <Riyonuk> thanks
[02:19] <FliesLikeABrick> band-aid what brand of laptop?
[02:19] <rjg_> Hello
[02:19] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk
[02:19] <Riyonuk> T_T aww just 1280 thats lame
[02:19] <Elriff_Darkheart> FliesLikeABrick, I use aoss TeamSpeak to start it... as some guides said... but i still don't get any sound to or from it.
[02:19] <liquiddoom> Riyonuk: sudo nautilus
[02:19] <band-aid> FliesLikeABrick: Compal HEL-80
[02:19] <Angelus> !wine
[02:19] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:19] <Derek> I'm having a bit of trouble finding the hardware supported, does anyone have a link where I can check to see if my graphics card is supported?
[02:20] <Music_Shuffle> Riyonuk, use...sudo with it?
[02:20] <Riyonuk> thanks
[02:20] <FliesLikeABrick> liquiddoom you mean gksudo ?
[02:20] <Riyonuk> I hate that I cant remmber how to spell nautilus
[02:20] <Music_Shuffle> !sudo
[02:20] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:20] <BHSPitMonkey> PhilKC, ping
[02:20] <Music_Shuffle> Works just fine.
[02:20] <liquiddoom> FliesLikeABrick: Does the same thing... one just pops up a prompt
[02:20] <rjg_> uh does someone know how to add a link to a folder into the Applications Menu?
[02:20] <liquiddoom> lol
[02:20] <Theodor> okay, I think I have messed up my sources.list file ;p
[02:20] <plyp_werk> Theodor: you could just hunt through the directories for the specific .debs
[02:20] <Angelus> !nokia
[02:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nokia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:20] <band-aid> FliesLikeABrick: it uses the Intel PRO/Wireless 3845abg
[02:20] <plyp_werk> Theodor: they should be in a "pool" directory somewhere, then sorted alphabetically
[02:20] <BHSPitMonkey> PhilKC, you there, or was that a scripted response
[02:20] <rjg_> Theodor: I have a untouched one, want a copy??
[02:21] <PhilKC> BHSPitMonkey, I am.
[02:21] <FliesLikeABrick> liquiddoom sudo often doesn't work with graphical applications and gksudo must be used instead
[02:21] <Theodor> I think I made a copy somewhere ... *went to hunt it down*
[02:21] <fmachado> Theodor, "dpkg-reconfigure apt" :)
[02:21] <Hoag> Why is the mp3 option shaded out in sound converter?
[02:21] <Thiagovfar> Could anyone here help me on installing Ubuntu in a (how could I say?) past century's machine? (forgive-me if I make some mistakes in the words. I am not a person who knows a lot of English...)
[02:21] <Derek> Anyone have a link to see hardware compatibility?
[02:21] <rjg_> Hoag: you don't have the codecs installed
[02:21] <bruenig> Hoag, you have to install mp3 capabilities
[02:21] <band-aid> Hoag: I think it has something to do with MP3 using proprietary codecs
[02:21] <bruenig> !quicktime | Hoag
[02:21] <ubotu> Hoag: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[02:21] <Angelus> !mobile
[02:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mobile - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <n2diy> Thiagovfar: how muck ram does the box have?
[02:22] <bruenig> It will work, I converted an ogg to mp3 on it the other day
[02:22] <Angelus> does anyone know how to connect a mobile?
[02:22] <Hoag> Alright, cheers :)
[02:22] <binarydigit> Thiagovfar: did you burn the install cd and try the install?
[02:22] <band-aid> Can anyone help me set up my wireless?
[02:22] <Theodor> thanks for the command, done.
[02:22] <BHSPitMonkey> PhilKC, a few people and I were wondering what the protocol is for recovering control of a channel the owner has abandoned.  Feel free to redirect this conversation elsewhere; you're the only apparently active staffer, and you're here.
[02:22] <Thiagovfar> 128
[02:22] <band-aid> !wireless
[02:22] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:23] <n2diy> Thiagovfar: I don't think Ubuntu will play with 128 megs.
[02:23] <bruenig> Thiagovfar, go with xubuntu
[02:23] <PhilKC> BHSPitMonkey, Depends on the channel. Single hash (#) channels will need a GCF, ## channels can be done with a GCF or by putting across a valid reason :)
[02:23] <BHSPitMonkey> Thiagovfar, have a look at xubuntu. It's a lighter variant of Ubuntu, which runs well on older hardware.
[02:24] <Riyonuk> Thiagovfar, a crappy machine like mine? :p
[02:24] <n2diy> bruenig: what is the minimum ram req. for Xbuntu?
[02:24] <Angelus> does anyone know how to connect a mobile (cell) phone through a wireless connection?
[02:24] <bruenig> 64 mb I believe
[02:24] <bruenig> it is either that or 128
[02:24] <n2diy> bruenig: thanks.
[02:25] <BHSPitMonkey> 64
[02:25] <abram> wifi isn't working does this mean i have to install network manager?
[02:25] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm pretty sure, anyway. I've run it on that.
[02:25] <cafuego_> Angelus: Ran ok on 64Mb last time I used it.
[02:25] <Derek> does anyone have a suggestion on how to get around the black screen problem when I try to launch ubuntu from the live cd?
[02:25] <BHSPitMonkey> PhilKC, it's a single-hasher.
[02:25] <cafuego_> with enough swap, 32Mb should do too (will just be slow)
[02:25] <n2diy> bruenig: any idea how large the Xubuntu dl is?
[02:25] <FliesLikeABrick> Derek how much RAM do you have?
[02:25] <bruenig> n2diy, 700 MB
[02:25] <fcrick> hey just installed ubuntu for the first time
[02:25] <Derek> 2 gigs
[02:26] <PhilKC> BHSPitMonkey, Might be best to explain this is query, as the channel seems fairly busy :)
[02:26] <BHSPitMonkey> PhilKC, would you mind stopping by the channel?
[02:26] <fcrick> so far im very impressed
[02:26] <n2diy> bruenig: ouch
[02:26] <bruenig> n2diy, well it is the same as any other, fill up that cd
[02:26] <bruenig> !offtopic
[02:26] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:26] <Thiagovfar> I'm using 6.06 LTS, it runs (with a small help of a swap file). But it just do not pass the third step of the Install Setup
[02:26] <Thiagovfar> ok
[02:26] <Thiagovfar> I'll try it
[02:26] <fcrick> hey so right now im running at 800x600, and i have this nice nvidia card id like to be able to use - what resources should i be looking at? thanks
[02:27] <roflarn> ello, can anyone reccomend a good torrentclient? not azureus, preferably something similar to uTorrent :>
[02:27] <bruenig> !nvidia | fcrick
[02:27] <ubotu> fcrick: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:27] <Derek> any ideas?
[02:27] <n2diy> bruenig: I'm on dial up, that is why I use Ship It to get my CDs, and I don't think Xubuntu is an option there.
[02:27] <bruenig> only take a couple of weeks
[02:27] <fcrick> ty
[02:27] <Storkme> why is ubuntu 6.10's splash screen so damn boring? the old splash screens told you what it was doing at the time.. this one is uninteresting and makes it seem slower :p
[02:28] <bruenig> Storkme, go to /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the quiet option by the entry
[02:28] <Derek> I imagine my graphics card is supported, I have a Radeon X1900
[02:28] <bruenig> or I suppose I should say "open" not "go to"
[02:29] <Angelus> n2diy I'm on dial up at the moment and I'm downloading the update to 6.10
[02:29] <bruenig> there is a difference in updating and downloading a new version of it
[02:29] <bruenig> a 500+ MB difference
[02:29] <_TsU_> what's it?
[02:30] <bruenig> generally
[02:30] <_TsU_> Oo
[02:30] <Angelus> I'm doing it through the software manager
[02:30] <n2diy> Angelus: how big is the dl? My ISP only lets me stay online for 8 hours, and then they shut me down, it is a PITA.
[02:30] <bruenig> n2diy, what is the deal with your ISP, do you live in a real remote area or something
[02:31] <Derek> does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong with my computer that's causing it to go black screen after ubuntu loads?
[02:31] <Angelus> n2diy, I don't know but it's been downloading now for about 10 minutes and it's up to "Modifying the software channels"
[02:31] <_TsU_> Derek, you have an LCD monitor?
[02:31] <Derek> yes
[02:31] <_TsU_> what graphic card you have?
[02:31] <Derek> it's an Acer 20" widescreen
[02:31] <Derek> radeon x1900
[02:32] <n2diy> bruenig: Sorta, I'm in Carbon County, Pa., USA.
[02:32] <_TsU_> load ubuntu in recovery mode
[02:32] <_TsU_> install the ati driver
[02:32] <bruenig> no dsl there or is it really high or something
[02:32] <_TsU_> and then do : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:32] <bpon1> full saddam execution
[02:32] <bpon1> screeshot: http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8680/screenshotna3.png
[02:32] <bpon1> youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtxr1ViaC9A
[02:32] <Derek> I tried to load it in safe graphics mode, but the problem is there is no way I know of to install it wtihout using the live cd
[02:32] <bruenig> hmmm
[02:32] <Thiagovfar> Hey, but, why does Ubuntu Live Cd runs in my computer and it does not install?
[02:32] <Panagant> when i type in su it asks for a password.  The password is not the same as sudo.  is there a default password
[02:33] <band-aid> can anyone help me get my wireless set up?
[02:33] <Angelus> I'm in Australia and where I live they don't have cable. If you're lucky enough (waiting 2 years now) they might give you ADSL
[02:33] <n2diy> bruenig: Yes, DSL is available, but only from one source, and it is a little pricey. I have a new neighbor, and we are thinking about sharing a DSL connection.
[02:33] <Derek> I've only installed linux once before, and I did it on a computer where there were no problems, with the live cd
[02:33] <TiGZ> http://www.foodlink.com.au/Dumpbox/uselinux.jpg =P
[02:33] <ozzloy> thank you guys too for your help!
[02:33] <Panagant> when i type in su it asks for a password.  The password is not the same as sudo.  is there a default password
[02:33] <FliesLikeABrick> Derek are you trying to install or just use the livecd?
[02:33] <_TsU_> Derek, after installation: 1st-recovery mode (second option in Grub menu), 2nd-install ati driver, 3rd- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:33] <imbecile> i was wondering if anyone has seen a theme similar to this.. I have been looking for hours to non avail  http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33516
[02:34] <Derek> I'm trying to install it
[02:34] <magic_ninja> are there any good mmorpg or fps that are any good native to linux
[02:34] <band-aid> Panagant: what account are you trying to switch to
[02:34] <FliesLikeABrick> Panagant su wants the root password whereas sudo uses the user password.  sudo -i is the same as su but uses the user password
[02:34] <imbecile> its a really basic clear theme
[02:34] <Derek> when I install it, does it load linux's boot loader?  Because that's really what I'm after
[02:34] <frank__> I have tossed my nVidia card in the garbage, and xorg is refusing to load the mesa glx for my radeon card now.  How do I switch my opengl back to mesa in Ubuntu?
[02:34] <bruenig> n2diy, luckily where I am at dsl is ten dollars more than dialup so it is not that big a deal
[02:34] <FliesLikeABrick> Derek try using the alternate installer CD instead of the desktop CD, it installs without a live session
[02:34] <harrisony1> !mmorpg
[02:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mmorpg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:34] <Derek> alright
[02:34] <n2diy> bruenig: I had a neighbor that shared a satellite connection with me, that was really cool, but he moved, and took his toys with him.
[02:34] <Derek> now here's an interesting question
[02:34] <band-aid> Can anyone help me get my wirless working
[02:34] <Derek> currently my computer has 2 os's on it... xp and vista
[02:35] <Derek> I insatlled vista first, so I am using vista's boot loader
[02:35] <magic_ninja> !games
[02:35] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[02:35] <Derek> if I install ubuntu over my vista partition, will linux';s boot loader install over and recognize my xp partition?
[02:35] <Panagant> so i dont need to use su command sudo is fine?
[02:35] <wheels3572> How do I go about finding out if I have any KDE libraries?

[02:35] <_TsU_> no,
[02:35] <harrisony1> wheels3572: as a test try sudo apt-get install amarok and see see if awhole lot of kde things come up if yes then you dont
[02:36] <_TsU_> all is alright wit your cd!
[02:36] <Derek> someone said to try to install without using the live cd
[02:36] <harrisony1> !kdelibs
[02:36] <roflarn> anything similar to utorrent for linux?
[02:36] <ubotu> kdelibs: core libraries from the official KDE release. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 36 kB, installed size 88 kB
[02:36] <Derek> but i don't know if I could see to install anyway
[02:36] <Derek> install the ATI driver, I mean
[02:36] <wheels3572> harrisony1, believe it or not thats' what I was asking for was because of Amarok ty :)
[02:36] <harrisony1> wheels3572: if you dont have itll install
[02:36] <Angelus> n2diy, it's saying that I need to download 692M for the next stage, I think I'll leave it for now! lol
[02:36] <bruenig> roflarn, utorrent is pretty similar
[02:36] <jrsims> hey, in xubuntu, is there a way to enable multiple file selection on the desktop via dragging a selection box around them?
[02:37] <frank__> How do I get my opengl back to mesa after getting rid of my nVidia card?  My xorg log says this:  (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[02:37] <_TsU_> Derek, you're on the live cd?
[02:37] <jman_> Does anybody know how to install Windows XP without erasing the boot loader from the MBR?
[02:37] <wheels3572> I KNOW I dont have amarok but not sure if I have the libs to go wtih it for MP3 playing
[02:37] <bruenig> jrsims, pretty sure there isn't
[02:37] <n2diy> Angelus: ah, can you resume the DL later?
[02:37] <m12> when you uninstall software with Synaptic, i've noticed that if you later look to reinstall, it doesn't have to redownload the files... so that means all of these files are being left on my computer?  where are they, so that I can get rid of them?
[02:37] <Angelus> no you have to do it in one shot
[02:37] <Derek> no, right now I'm on xp, I can't see anything when I boot the live cd
[02:37] <jrsims> bruenig: too bad. that is deffinately needed.
[02:37] <Tomcat_> jman_: No way to do that.
[02:37] <fcrick> if I have Edgy Eft do i have the latest release?

[02:38] <Tomcat_> jman_: At least I'm pretty sure ;)
[02:38] <bruenig> jrsims, just don't use the desktop. I don't have anything on the desktop. Thunar will do it

[02:38] <bruenig> then you can do it
[02:38] <Derek> I tried that also, I just set it to a safe res since mine wasn't on there
[02:38] <Derek> it didn't have my native resolution available
[02:38] <Derek> but it still went all black
[02:39] <tritium> bruenig: what's going on?

[02:39] <jrsims> bruenig: yeah, I'll probably do that instead. just trying to stay away from gnome and its fat ass.
[02:39] <_TsU_> Derek, use the resolution that is shown on your montinor manual
[02:39] <Hobbsee> Seveas: yeah, got the wrong button.
[02:39] <Derek> TsU, it's not available
[02:39] <Derek> I have a widescreen, my native res wasn't on the list

[02:40] <Seveas> Hobbsee, the big pointy stick is there -------------->>
[02:40] <Tomcat_> jman_: I don't know about that... but as long as you're running the Windows installer, the MBR will be overwritten.
[02:40] <jman_> uggh
[02:40] <__mikem> Seveas, even if he's on dhcp, he will only pull a new ip address if he resets his modem, or it happens to be the day where it automaticly changes
[02:40] <jrsims> bruenig: do you know if xubuntu ships the xfce compositor that allows stuff like drop shadows?
[02:41] <_TsU_> Derek, did you select the correct frequency?
[02:41] <Seveas> __mikem, spammers do that
[02:41] <bruenig> jrsims, doubt it
[02:41] <bruenig> jrsims, but don't know
[02:41] <Hobbsee> Seveas: my bing pointy stick..you leave it alone...
[02:41] <bruenig> jrsims, maybe #xubuntu will know
[02:41] <Derek> I'm not sure that I did, I just saw 8 16 and 32, I assumed they were colors, not frequiences
[02:41] <lnknpk04> I'm having problems getting my wireless to connect to my home wifi.  Its a problem with the WPA and the Ubuntu wiki said to copy this ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39529/ ) and show it to someone who knows what they are talking about :)
[02:41] <jrsims> bruenig: k
[02:42] <_TsU_> Derek, frequencies are important,
[02:42] <Derek> I didn't see the ability to change hte frequency, but my monitor's native frequency is 60
[02:42] <Derek> I imagine that's the default?
[02:42] <_TsU_> Derek, i'm on 70
[02:42] <_TsU_> it's not the default
[02:42] <band-aid> can anyone help me with my wireless connection
[02:42] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, sorry, I have little to no experience with WPA
[02:42] <_TsU_> Derek, you'll see the frequency after an '@'
[02:43] <lnknpk04> no problem
[02:43] <lnknpk04> this little laptop just wants to be difficult tonight :)
[02:43] <Derek> alright, all I remember seeing is the 8 16 or 32, but I"m most likely wrong
[02:43] <imbecile> i was wondering if anyone has seen a theme similar to this.. I have been looking for hours to non avail  http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33516
[02:44] <_TsU_> Derek, try again :)
[02:44] <Derek> will do
[02:44] <_TsU_> try to find the correct resolution/frequency
[02:44] <Derek> well my res is like 1680 x 1050
[02:44] <bruenig> imbecile, looks like you are going to need beryl/xgl/compiz for that
[02:44] <n2diy> Derek: those numbers aren't for horz. sync., probably colors?
[02:44] <dan2_> does ubuntu have a java plugin working on amd64?
[02:44] <Derek> yeah, I figured they were colors, but I didn't see hz
[02:45] <viking09> plyp_werk: Sure sound like a routing problem, eth
[02:45] <wheels3572> Where is the master volume in Xubuntu?
[02:45] <imbecile> bruenig, this dang thing has been driving me nuts
[02:45] <Angelus> thanks for all your help guys
[02:45] <plyp_werk> viking09: oh, did you figure it out?
[02:45] <Angelus> talk soon
[02:45] <bruenig> wheels3572, right click on the panel and add to it
[02:45] <bruenig> wheels3572, and then get the volume applet
[02:45] <lnknpk04> I'm having problems getting my wireless to connect to my home wifi.  Its a problem with the WPA and the Ubuntu wiki said to copy this ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39529/ ) and show it to someone who can help
[02:46] <Derek> so you suggest that I try booting with the cd again, and try to set the hz correctly?
[02:46] <Derek> what should I do about the fact that my monitor's native res isn't in the list?
[02:46] <HymnToLife> Derek, install proper drivers for yor videocard
[02:47] <Derek> how can I do that before I install the operating system??
[02:47] <pppoe_dude> Derek, what kind of monitor is it?
[02:47] <Derek> it's a 20" widescreen
[02:47] <n2diy> Derek: V sync would anywhere from 50-120 hz, and H sync. would be up in the kilohertz, you should google for you monitor's specs. And stay at the low end of of the H sync range.
[02:47] <pppoe_dude> Derek, what kind of video card do you have
[02:47] <Derek> radeon x1900
[02:47] <HymnToLife> Derek, who cares about the res while installing ?
[02:47] <Derek> my screen goes black
[02:48] <Derek> and I can't see anything at all after the live cd boots
[02:48] <pppoe_dude> Derek, you might wanna try messing around with modeline, also try 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[02:48] <HymnToLife> use an Alternate :)
[02:48] <_TsU_> ah, yes, alternate cd :)
[02:48] <viking09> plyp_werk: yes, appears to be a routing problem! The wireless card is not indicated
[02:48] <band-aid> I am having problems getting my Intel PRO/Wireless 3945AGB to connect to my wireless router. I am using a fresh install of edgy
[02:48] <Derek> alternate cd?
[02:48] <HymnToLife> !alternate
[02:48] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[02:49] <band-aid>  I am having problems getting my Intel PRO/Wireless 3945AGB to connect to my wireless router. I am using a fresh install of edgy
[02:49] <HymnToLife> and which doesn't work 20% of the time, at least.
[02:49] <Derek> I'm not sure I could manage to do a command line install.. heh
[02:49] <HymnToLife> !ask| band-aid
[02:49] <ubotu> band-aid: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:49] <band-aid> uuhhhhh
[02:49] <lnknpk04> I'm having problems getting my wireless to connect to my home wifi.  Its a problem with the WPA and the Ubuntu wiki said to copy this ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39529/ ) and show it to someone who can help
[02:49] <wheels3572> exit
[02:49] <band-aid> How do I associate to an Access Point in Ubuntu
[02:50] <HymnToLife> lnknpk04, maybe try posting on the !forums
[02:50] <lnknpk04> !forums
[02:50] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[02:50] <Derek> so what is the consensus on what I should do, try to change the hz rating pre-boot?
[02:50] <lnknpk04> gracias
[02:50] <_TsU_> Derek, alternate is the best solution
[02:50] <HymnToLife> Derek, the Live CD has a "Safe graphics mode", have you tried it ?
[02:50] <Riyonuk> band-aid
[02:50] <Derek> I did try the safe graphics mode
[02:50] <Derek> same thing happened
[02:50] <n2diy> Derek:  don't do anything until you know what your monitor's specs are.
[02:50] <HymnToLife> though anyway, I always recommend the Alternate
[02:50] <band-aid> yes
[02:51] <Derek> what specs do you want?
[02:51] <band-aid> Riyonuk: yes?
[02:51] <Derek> I know native res and refresh rate
[02:51] <Derek> 1680x1050 @60
[02:51] <n2diy> Derek:  I don't want them, but you need the H. and V. sync frequencies.
[02:51] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, is your card detected by edgy?
[02:52] <HymnToLife> pppoe_dude, yes, he has an ipw3945
[02:52] <Derek> 1680x1050 isn't available in that list though
[02:52] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: I think so, it shows up as eth1 when I do iwconfig
[02:52] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, have you tried using NetworkManager?
[02:52] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: no
[02:52] <HymnToLife> band-aid, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid YOUR_ESSID key YOUR_KEY
[02:52] <HymnToLife> then dhclient to configure the IF using dhcp
[02:52] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: at least I don't think I have. Is it installed by default
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, if you want a graphical wasy way to connect to wireless networks, try sudo apt-get install nm-applet-gnome
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, then reboot
[02:53] <plyp_werk> HymnToLife: might need to set the channel too
[02:53] <n2diy> wasy?
[02:53] <HymnToLife> plyp_werk, I never needed to
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, sorry the package is actually network-manager-gnome
[02:54] <enric> is it ok to install compiz if i have beryl installed?
[02:54] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: I have no way to access the internet on that computer
[02:54] <Derek> if I install with the alternate cd, why wouldn't it be black when I boot that up also?
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, it should be on the cd iirc
[02:54] <bruenig> enric, #ubuntu-xgl
[02:54] <Igor> !nvidia
[02:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:54] <enric> k thanks bruenig
[02:54] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: what does iirc mean?
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> perhaps not tho...
[02:54] <plyp_werk> If I Recall Correctly
[02:55] <HymnToLife> band-aid, If I Remember Correctly
[02:55] <band-aid> oh lol

[02:55] <thread> any freenx users?

[02:55] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, try installing it from CD (just put in the cd)
[02:55] <Igor> so if i installed the generic kernel, am i gonna be able to get the nvidia drivers to work?
[02:56] <drivera90> so guys
[02:56] <drivera90> come to think of it, i never set up a root password. what is the password to root?
[02:56] <pppoe_dude> band-aid, also, sudo network-admin provides basic wireless connectivity options
[02:56] <pppoe_dude> like... wep
[02:56] <bruenig> drivera90, there is no root, you use sudo and then provide your user password

[02:57] <ubotu> drivera90: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[02:57] <drivera90> oh.
[02:57] <CUBeR64> hi everyone
[02:57] <_TsU_> drivera90 you can setup a new password for the root acount
[02:58] <_TsU_> but you dont need that as you have the sudo
[02:58] <CUBeR64> can anyone point me to the system font directory
[02:58] <Igor> *cry* i tried to enable my nvidia card and now X is dead :(
[02:58] <siv0x> Does anyone know how to get gecko for wine?
[02:58] <Igor> and i accidently overwrote the xorg.conf cause i ran the thing twice
[02:58] <Igor> the backup that is
[02:58] <_TsU_> Igor, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:58] <HymnToLife> CUBeR64, /usr/share/fonts
[02:59] <Igor> thanks
[02:59] <CUBeR64> thank you
[02:59] <CUBeR64> :)
[03:00] <Nontitle> Igor: do you use dapper or edgy? my Nvidia card doesn't work under dapper but it works under edgy for some reason
[03:00] <_TsU_> for me it works on both
[03:00] <Nontitle> actually, i got it working, but it was very complicated, as i had to reinstall it each time i wanted to run x
[03:01] <imbecile> can someone point me to a beryl wiki?
[03:01] <_TsU_> Nontitle, i had that problem too, on dapper :)
[03:01] <Edgy-Paladine> does anyone know if Edgy LiveCD supports LVM installations?
[03:02] <_TsU_> imbecile, http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Main_Page
[03:02] <Edgy-Paladine> I can't find any LVM options in the partition manager during install
[03:02] <HymnToLife> nope it doesn't
[03:02] <imbecile> _TsU_ thanks
[03:02] <HymnToLife> !alternate | Edgy-Paladine
[03:02] <ubotu> Edgy-Paladine: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[03:02] <Nontitle> i think it was along the lines of installing the legacy version through apt-get and installing the non-legacy version from nvidia.com, but using one so old that it had the same version number
[03:02] <Edgy-Paladine> man I don't have alternate
[03:02] <Edgy-Paladine> only server
[03:03] <Edgy-Paladine> and I just hosed my dapper partition
[03:03] <HymnToLife> Server will do, too
[03:03] <_TsU_> imbecile, if you have Edgy, read the AiGLX tutorial, i had problems to install XGL
[03:03] <Edgy-Paladine> yeah I have server, but that means manually installing all the desktop stuff and aiglx
[03:04] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: ok I did the iwconfig command
[03:04] <imbecile> _TsU_, I'm using dapper drake
[03:04] <band-aid> pppoe_dude: but the dhclient failed
[03:04] <_TsU_> Aiglx is already installed, as i had nothing to do more than installing beryl :)
[03:04] <HymnToLife> Edgy-Paladine, just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, you'll be at the same point than with a DEsktop CD
[03:05] <_TsU_> imbecile, http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX
[03:05] <wheels3572> To anyone and everyone that helped me out with my sound and getting everything to work I wanna say ty.
[03:05] <Nontitle> how do you install AiGLX in dapper? i would probably be able to find the answer, but i'm just too lazy right now
[03:06] <imbecile> _TsU_, where do i add lines for step 2?
[03:06] <_TsU_> Nontitle: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX , there is "How to install AiGLX" on it
[03:06] <Nontitle> cool, thanks
[03:06] <wireless_blues> n2diy, you around?
[03:06] <_TsU_> imbecile, repositories

[03:07] <_TsU_> imbecile, /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:07] <wireless_blues> n2diy, I am from earlier, I got my card light blinking and seeing the broadcast signal
[03:07] <imbecile> Nontitle, looks like were working through the sme thing
[03:07] <n2diy> wireless_blues: cool, how'd ya do that?
[03:07] <wireless_blues> n2diy, but it shows it with no signal, and will not connect
[03:07] <wheels3572> Is it safe to remove excess media players I dont need?
[03:07] <Nontitle> cool
[03:07] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, yes
[03:08] <imbecile> _TsU_, okay now how about step 3
[03:08] <Derek> Hi, I"m back.  I tried looking for a way to change my refresh rate, but it was as I thought - there is no visible optino to change it when you hit F4
[03:08] <Nontitle> wheels3572: i believe its safe
[03:08] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, ty I have a ton of them
[03:08] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, its safe to remove anything you dont need :)
[03:08] <_TsU_> imbecile on your shell :)
[03:08] <imbecile> _TsU_, do i stay in repo?
[03:08] <wireless_blues> n2diy, dont really know, but for one thing I set the boot up string to include acpi=off and blacklisted ipv6
[03:08] <band-aid> how do I associate to a wireless access point
[03:08] <_TsU_> imbecile, no
[03:08] <imbecile> ahh thats been my problem
[03:08] <hassan2a> hello
[03:08] <n2diy> wireless_blues: ok, we need to set up your channel, and essid, or something like that, I think the folks on here now know how to do that.
[03:08] <regeya> hooray!  finally nipped my root-on-lvm problem.  used yaird to build an initrd.  now, however, I don't seem to be able to mount /boot. :-/
[03:08] <regeya> (that could be a problem, methinks.)
[03:09] <__mikem> How much do you want to bet that SADDAMHUSSEIN is a troll?
[03:09] <Derek>
[03:09] <regeya> lol
[03:09] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, what's the odds that some programs are linked to others?
[03:09] <wireless_blues> n2diy, using the network applet in ununtu I have setup the sid to my routers, but it will not connect
[03:09] <fcrick> so last time i tried to install my nvidia drivers, it told me the module wouldn load
[03:09] <regeya> buzz off, [SADDAMHUSSEIN] , you're dead.
[03:09] <wireless_blues> n2diy, so how do I setup the channel as well?
[03:09] <fcrick> any idea how i track down what i did wrong from that?
[03:09] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, very low :) but then again, depends wont be free untill no program wants them any more
[03:09] <regeya> lol
[03:09] <__mikem> lmao, that was funny
[03:10] <n2diy> Who can help wireless_blues setup his channel, and essid, or whatever?
[03:10] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, ok.  gonna try it ty.  What's the syntax apt-get remove <file name>?
[03:10] <tritium> __mikem: nope
[03:10] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, apt-get remove <package>
[03:10] <Derek> does anyone have another suggestion about what I could do to stop getting my monitor displaying all black when I boot with the ubuntu live cd?
[03:10] <wireless_blues> is there a good reference site?
[03:10] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, like I thought ty
[03:11] <dylan_> I cannot connect to my wireless network via my Free Software compatible Orinoco Silver wifi card.  How can I do this?  Is there a special package I must install?
[03:11] <_TsU_> Derek, the alternate CD is the only solution for you problem :)
[03:11] <band-aid> n2diy: I think its iwconfig <interface> channel <channel> essid <essid> etc but take whatever I say with a grain of salt because I'm still trying to get my wireless to work
[03:11] <n2diy> wireless_blues: man, I hope they didn't all log off? Anyway, what does iwconfig tell you?
[03:11] <fcrick> hmm well installed another restricted-modules thingy...i guess il try it again
[03:11] <nolimitsoya> dylan_, have you read the wifi docs?
[03:11] <n2diy> wireless_blues: yes, your on the right track.
[03:12] <Derek> TsU, if I download the alternate cd, will you help me through the process of using it?
[03:12] <dylan_> nolimitsoya, not yet.  i was hoping this was alleviatable via apt-get
[03:12] <nolimitsoya> !wifi | dylan_
[03:12] <ubotu> dylan_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:12] <dylan_> nolimitsoya, thanks.
[03:12] <wireless_blues> no wireless point associated
[03:12] <_TsU_> Derek, there are already tutorials for that :)
[03:12] <Derek> oh, great
[03:12] <Derek> I just need to find this cd link, I haven't been able to find it yet
[03:12] <nolimitsoya> Derek, if you have any questions during install, feel free to pop in :)
[03:13] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, ok Im leaving them all there lol I cant find the correct name for the package lol
[03:13] <_TsU_> Derek, on the ubuntu download page
[03:13] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, apt-cache search <string> <- for searching package names
[03:14] <wheels3572> nolimitsoya, sweet ty
[03:14] <n2diy> band-aid: tnx
[03:14] <nolimitsoya> wheels3572, 'man apt' is a usefull command as well :)
[03:14] <jorgp> in the /etc/group while what is supposed to have the id of 11?
[03:14] <n2diy> wireless_blues: see what band-aid sent me at 21:10?
[03:14] <jorgp> while/file
[03:15] <wheels3572> ty nolimitsoya :)
[03:15] <fcrick> yay i think it worked
[03:15] <band-aid> n2diy: did you get it to work???!
[03:15] <fcrick> how can i confirm for sure that my nvidia drivers are really working?
[03:15] <band-aid> n2diy: I still haven't gotten it to work lol
[03:15] <n2diy> band-aid: It isn't my problem, I'm trying to get wireless_blues up and running.
[03:15] <HymnToLife> jorgp, there's none here - I'm on Debian though
[03:16] <band-aid> n2diy: did they get it work work?
[03:16] <nolimitsoya> _TsU_, means we are in the same timezone then :)
[03:16] <jorgp> HymnToLife, well, when I install via debootstrap, a chroot always complains about /etc/group id:11 missing
[03:16] <SilentDis> hello :)
[03:16] <_TsU_> nolimitsoya, hehe :D
[03:16] <wireless_blues> n2diy,  I just tried that and it says set failed on device wlan0: operation not permited
[03:16] <wireless_blues> oops
[03:16] <wireless_blues> hang on one sec
[03:16] <wireless_blues> do with sudo
[03:16] <n2diy> band-aid: I don't know?
[03:17] <SilentDis> ubuntu + beryl + subscription to digitalblasphemy.com = best eyecandy desktop in the world.  period.  lol
[03:17] <n2diy> wireless_blues: try sudo before the command?
[03:17] <band-aid> I love digital blasphemy's art
[03:17] <_TsU_> SilentDis, add gDesklets to that :)
[03:17] <Jdban> Hi, I'm a linux newbie, and I am trying to get my ATI driver installed.  I enabled the file to be run, but now when I run it, it says that "You need to run this installer as the super-user."
[03:17] <Jdban> I'm unsure of how to do this when the file is on my desktop.
[03:18] <HymnToLife> Jdban, add sudo before your command
[03:18] <band-aid> jdban: navigate to your desktop in the terminal
[03:18] <n2diy> band-aid: follow along with wireless_blues and I, we are cooking on it now.
[03:18] <band-aid> n2diy: will do
[03:18] <nolimitsoya> !root | Jdban

[03:19] <wireless_blues> n2diy,  wow, its quite indepth
[03:20] <SilentDis> _TsU_, checking it out now.  pardon my slowness.  dialup is the suck :P
[03:20] <mt> :)
[03:20] <n2diy> wireless_blues: and I haven't played with it, so you are breaking new ground for me.
[03:20] <_TsU_> SilentDis, no problem :)
[03:21] <n2diy> wireless_blues: But I think the trick is getting your channel and essid to match your AP.
[03:21] <QwertyM> Here's a bit long problem... I have a PIV 3.0 GHz with H-Threading, I also installed Nvidia beta drivers and am running beryl comfortably, now I see that my kernel is i386, but my processor must support i686 too, so should I make a shift to it? What all do I need to change if I install this 686 kernel?
[03:21] <mike> i installed build-essential and i still cant find a man page for strtok() and bind()
[03:21] <Music_Shuffle> QwertyM, you could, but you're fine really.
[03:21] <HymnToLife> mike, manpages are not C handbooks...
[03:21] <nolimitsoya> QwertyM, you should use the -generic kernel above any other
[03:21] <nolimitsoya> !generic | QwertyM
[03:21] <ubotu> QwertyM: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[03:22] <SilentDis> QwertyM, you're fine as it is... but if you insist, and you're running edgy, it means compiling a kernel from source yourself.
[03:22] <_TsU_> QwertyM , i have the same thing, and i'm using 386
[03:22] <QwertyM> Oh ok
[03:22] <hiall123456> i have problem when starting amarok says an error: "Warning: kbuildsycoca is unable to register with DCOP.  kbuildsycoca running...   KSycoca: Error: No database available!"  any clues on how to fix this? (this prevents Amarok from starting up)
[03:22] <QwertyM> Thanks then SilentDis, _TsU_ , Music_Shuffle
[03:22] <nolimitsoya> SilentDis, _TsU_, QwertyM, no it doesnt. the generic kernel _is_ a 686 kernel, or k7, or smp, or what ever it needs to be. use it
[03:23] <Music_Shuffle> GL :)
[03:23] <QwertyM> nolimitsoya, I see generic under grub boot
[03:23] <zer0> can i install ubuntu and not affect my xp installation?
[03:23] <bruenig> zer0, yes
[03:23] <nolimitsoya> zer0, yes
[03:23] <QwertyM> nolimitsoya, if I make that default, no problems right?
[03:23] <n2diy> wireless_blues: ?

[03:23] <nolimitsoya> QwertyM, right
[03:23] <band-aid> wireless_blues n2diy: I think I may be onto something
[03:23] <_TsU_> nolimitsoy, when you install the graphic card it upgrad your knernel to the 386 :)
[03:23] <zer0> or should i create a partition prior to installing?
[03:23] <band-aid> gimme 1 sec
[03:23] <_TsU_> driver*
[03:23] <QwertyM> thanks nolimitsoya
[03:23] <bruenig> zer0, you create partitions during the install
[03:24] <zer0> mmkay
[03:24] <zer0> bruenig
[03:24] <wireless_blues> n2diy, so maybe iwconfig wlan0 essid "apline" channel 11
[03:24] <nolimitsoya> _TsU_, thats a dependency issue. the depends for the nvidia-glx package is fouled up. its a downgrade, and not upgrade
[03:24] <SilentDis> _TsU_, i'm pulling gdesklets now.  not like it's gonna dent my storage space rofl
[03:24] <zer0> do u know how to install drivers without internet?
[03:24] <nolimitsoya> _TsU_, using the generic restricted modules work just fine
[03:24] <Riyonuk> I disabled everything ipv6 related and firefox still takes forever to loads site, how can I fix this?
[03:24] <n2diy> band-aid: , cool, though wireless_blues is no back.
[03:24] <_TsU_> nolimitsoya , ok :)
[03:24] <HymnToLife> zer0, yes, but which drivers ?
[03:24] <band-aid> whats the command to restart the network
[03:24] <_TsU_> SilentDis, :D
[03:24] <zer0> can i talk with someone PM, drivers for modem
[03:25] <n2diy> wireless_blues: what channel is your AP using?
[03:25] <band-aid> I know its some filepath
[03:25] <zer0> i have them on installation disk,
[03:25] <_TsU_> SilentDis, you'll like them :)
[03:25] <wireless_blues> n2diy, channel 11
[03:25] <zer0> but when i try to follow the instructions, i get an error
[03:25] <wireless_blues> brb gotta pee
[03:25] <HymnToLife> zer0, linux drivers ?
[03:25] <zer0> yes
[03:25] <HymnToLife> what is the error ?
[03:25] <Siph0n> hey, how can i tell what version of glib i have? or if i even have it at all... i dont see it in my synaptic package manager...
[03:25] <n2diy> wireless_blues: ok, I'm not sure alpine is a valid essid, but go for it?
[03:25] <n2diy> !essid
[03:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about essid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:25] <band-aid> n2diy: I think its valid
[03:25] <zer0> well i dont remember, it was the last time i tried to use ubuntu
[03:26] <SilentDis> !swiftfox | Riyonuk - just a suggestion, it helps a little for me.
[03:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swiftfox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:26] <zer0> ill be back i suppose after I try it out again
[03:26] <n2diy> band-aid: roger that.
[03:26] <hiall123456> i have problem when starting amarok says an error: "Warning: kbuildsycoca is unable to register with DCOP.  kbuildsycoca running...   KSycoca: Error: No database available!"  any clues on how to fix this? (this prevents Amarok from starting up)
[03:26] <SilentDis> huh...  ubotu needs info, must feed ubotu.

[03:30] <band-aid> n2diy: that will give you all the info you need about nearby access points
[03:30] <hiall123456> any kde chanels around here
[03:30] <wireless_blues> n2diy, I will try one sec
[03:30] <n2diy> wireless_blues: see what band-aid is telling me?
[03:30] <band-aid> n2diy: I can't even ping my router yet
[03:31] <band-aid> I feel like I have the gun and the ammo but can't seem to make it shoot
[03:31] <n2diy> band-aid: can you ping your card?
[03:31] <bruenig> hiall123456, #kubuntu maybe
[03:31] <plyp_werk> "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning" to scan
[03:31] <hiall123456> thanks wise man
[03:31] <wireless_blues> n2diy, yes

[03:31] <wireless_blues> n2diy, still cannot ping google.com but I also know via iwlist that my essid is "apline" and that it is cell 01
[03:31] <n2diy> wireless_blues: your pinging external IPs?
[03:31] <Derek> I"m having a hard time finding the alternative CD, are you guys sure that it's on the ubuntu downloads page?
[03:32] <HymnToLife> Derek, definitely
[03:32] <quik_> SilentDis: in console..
[03:32] <wireless_blues> n2diy, cannot ping wlan0 it had to connect to the router to be assigned an ip
[03:33] <Riyonuk> Like Ill clik a link and it will say Connecting for like 3min...then Waiting/Transfering constantly then finally it loads
[03:33] <n2diy> wireless_blues: your pinging external IPs?
[03:33] <Riyonuk> I wait for hours and hours and nothing happens :p
[03:33] <band-aid> n2diy: you can ping a card? like... ping eth1 ??
[03:33] <wireless_blues> HOLY SHIT I AM CONNECTED!

[03:34] <Derek> how hard is an alternative cd install?

[03:34] <n2diy> wireless_blues: OMG, congradulations!
[03:34] <bruenig> Jdban, what do you mean run files?
[03:34] <band-aid> host

[03:36] <Derek> great, thanks TsU
[03:36] <Siph0n> is there a way for the changes i made in xorg.conf to show up right now, instead of rebooting?
[03:36] <_TsU_> no problem

[03:36] <Derek> which iso do I grab, the i386 one?
[03:36] <n2diy> band-aid: ok, your wireless connection should wlan0, unless it is a wireless router.
[03:37] <_TsU_> Derek , what cpu do u have?
[03:37] <Derek> intel core 2 duo
[03:37] <band-aid> n2diy: mine shows up as eth1 lol that might be a problem
[03:37] <band-aid> n2diy: its a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

[03:38] <maul555> ubotu, thanks, ill read it
[03:38] <n2diy> band-aid: ok, then it should be wlanX.
