[08:29] <magnetron> niels__: try here
[08:29] <Mjateznik> Hi
[08:29] <VaNeSsSsA> n
[08:30] <shiryu> yes some programs
[08:30] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff: hoiw do mtools work?
[08:30] <crashsystems> shiryu: what programs?
[08:30] <hjmills> hi
[08:30] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, you just refer to the drive like you would under ms-dos or windows
[08:30] <shiryu> like kopete and others that i downloaded from synaptic
[08:30] <hjmills> is it my incompetence or is mpd screwed up in feisty
[08:30] <niels__> magnetron: my ircclient is screwed up, can you repost
[08:30] <Mjateznik> I just did a uname -a and found that I run on "i686" with my Intel Centrino Duo (modern dual core). Is this actually the best for me?
[08:30] <niels__> i just saw try here, no link
[08:30] <crashsystems> shiryu: Try removing them, see if that makes a diff.
[08:30] <shiryu> and some games from here
[08:31] <magnetron> niels__: i just said: give it a try and ask here
[08:31] <Znuff> Mjateznik, yes.
[08:31] <shiryu> ok but if it doesnt work how can i do?
[08:31] <FlashNet3> Znugg, like postfix
[08:31] <niels__> LOL
[08:31] <Znuff> FlashNet3, I'm pretty sure you have no idea what running a mail server means.
[08:31] <crashsystems> shiryu: I'm not sure. Take it one step at a time.
[08:31] <robert98374> sorry what was the command to get mdf2iso again?
[08:31] <magnetron> niels__: ask in this channel!
[08:31] <shiryu> ok
[08:32] <Znuff> FlashNet3, and I'd strongly recommend you don't try to run one. There are thousands of misconfigured spam gateways out there already...
[08:32] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff, how do I use it to format a floppy? It's done installing
[08:32] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, mformat a:
[08:32] <gcbdm> I saw that Ubuntu had wireless support. Any idea as to why it didn't work with my Linksys WMP54GS?
[08:32] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff:  I'll try that
[08:32] <Znuff> gcbdm, unless you tell us what chipset is that... no we can't :)
[08:32] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff, I'm on Linux, not DOS.
[08:32] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, did I give you ms-dos instructions or what?
[08:32] <gcbdm> Znuff: Broadcom
[08:33] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, just try what I told you
[08:33] <Znuff> gcbdm, wich one?
[08:33] <Mjateznik> thanks Znuf
[08:33] <Mjateznik> *znuff
[08:33] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff ok
[08:33] <gcbdm> Znuff: No idea
[08:33] <Znuff> gcbdm, then allow me to say the same thing :-) No idea.
[08:33] <crashsystems> gcbdm: broadcom usualy dosen't work out-of-the-box with linux. Try ndiswrapper.
[08:33] <robert98374> Whats the command to get mdf2iso?
[08:33] <Znuff> robert98374, I already told you once. Pay attention: sudo apt-get install mdf2iso
[08:34] <crashsystems> "apt-get install mdf2iso" (?)
[08:34] <gcbdm> How do I find out?
[08:34] <zaggynl> yeah
[08:34] <FlashNet3> Znuff, i am can u help?
[08:34] <robert98374> Znuff sorry compy froze so i couldnt get it last time
[08:34] <Znuff> gcbdm, uhm, is it integrated? is it usb? or pcmcia?
[08:34] <zaggynl> robert98374, try starting the application 'synaptic', great for searching/installing packets with a gui
[08:34] <crashsystems> gcbdm: right now, if you have broadcomm, you can assume you need ndiswrapper. Its what I'm using.
[08:34] <Znuff> FlashNet3, I'm 100% sure you don't need to run an e-mail server. So how about you describe me your situation properly.
[08:34] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff, mformat adds a DOS filesystem to a diskette, not format it
[08:34] <gcbdm> crashsystems: That's what I used in Gentoo.
[08:34] <ubuntu> kto powiedzial ,ze mnie nie ma
[08:34] <abdelrahman> hi , i changed my mother board but still use same linux on same old hd, i have a problem with sound, can anyone help
[08:35] <abdelrahman> i use a GA-p965-DS3 now
[08:35] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, and why do you think you need anything else?
[08:35] <robert98374> Znuff Thank you
[08:35] <crashsystems> gcbdm: cool, then you probably can get it working without much trouble.
[08:35] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff, I'm going to use this on Linux
[08:35] <ultrajumboshrimp> Znuff, not DOS
[08:35] <FlashNet3> Znuff: i need to run a mail server, so that i can connect with pop client like thunderbird
[08:36] <Znuff> ultrajumboshrimp, then just add whatever filesystem you want to it. use mkfs.
[08:36] <Znuff> FlashNet3, do you run your own domain?
[08:36] <niels__> I'm trying to run my existing windows partition in VMware. I found a thorough how-to, but it assumes that you have kept grub out of the MBR. The how-to is here: http://oopsilon.com/Running-a-Windows-Partition-in-VMware . in the end of stage one the how to describes copying out the bootsector, so VMware kan use it. I think I need either find out where the windows bootloader has been put (or recreate it and subsequently r
[08:36] <niels__> ecreate grub) so I can copy it for vmware - but I don't have a clue on where to start
[08:36] <Znuff> FlashNet3, do you have MX records that point at your box?
[08:37] <CirroX> I have an issue in feisty 7.04 : my mouse cursor is busy all the time on the desktop. In applicatoins it's working fine, and it's a pointer. On my desktop however it stays a circle (busy). Can someone help me out ? Tried rebooting / killing processes but cannot find any errors :(
[08:37] <FlashNet3> Znuff yes
[08:37] <FlashNet3> yes, and yes
[08:37] <s> i have a problem with a client machine that is geting interntet accross squid...the porblem is when i want to do the update...
[08:37] <Znuff> FlashNet3, do you know the difference between SMTP and POP3?
[08:37] <Znuff> s: "the update"?
[08:37] <FlashNet3> i just need some help settting it up, i do not want to use my windows box

[08:38] <nj786> how do you install missing plugins?
[08:38] <kayef> hi, how do i play real media files *.rmvb in ubuntu?
[08:38] <zbrown> kayef: need w32codecs from medibuntu repo
[08:38] <Znuff> s: so, you run ubuntu behind another machine that only runs squid?
[08:38] <FlashNet3> Znuff: would you mind helping me if you know how?
[08:39] <macogw> i can't install feisty, so i just installed edgy and am going to attempt to upgrade from it, but I can't get online. ifconfig shows an ipv6 ip address, but no ipv4 one.  /etc/resolv.conf was blank, but i just set it to show the nameservers I need.  still no net though.  any help?
[08:39] <Znuff> FlashNet3, I won't help you because I'm 100% sure you have no idea what running a mail server means.
[08:39] <kayef> zbrown: so if i install medibuntu then i can play the files?
[08:39] <s> Znuff, no..the other machine runs, squid, apache.
[08:39] <zbrown> kayef: no if you install w32codecs
[08:39] <crabgrass> okay, i just got done setting up a second computer with windows 2000, just so i can run hammer, and i was wondering if there is any way i can get that screen onto this screen... some kind of tv-out/window displaying tv-in combination with a kvm switch... anyone know how i would go about doing that, or have any better ideas?
[08:39] <Znuff> macogw, uhm, linux won't figure out the IP by itself, you know. So, how do you connect to internet?
[08:40] <zbrown> you need to add the medibuntu repository to your sources.list
[08:40] <zbrown> kayef:
[08:40] <Znuff> s: well, anyway, to make your apt-get work trough a proxy, you have to tell it how! :)

[08:43] <Znuff> crashoverride, why are you trying to upgrade firefox?

[08:43] <B2Ka> my problem is

[08:44] <macogw> Znuff: just plug in to a cable modem, and that's it
[08:44] <crashoverride> rakyray, then where can I go to get a decent Linux version?
[08:44] <Znuff> macogw, perhaps your ISP changed something?
[08:44] <Pelo> niels__,  this is how you perform the windows repair install   http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
[08:45] <macogw> Znuff: i don't think so, because the computer i'm on right now is going through that modem
[08:45] <niels__> slaiter: Id preferably like a way to copy out the win-loader without replacing grub ,i'd live with a way to add ubuntu to the win-loader
[08:45] <Pelo> !grub | niels__ and this is how you resintall grub
[08:45] <ubotu> niels__ and this is how you resintall grub: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:45] <macogw> Znuff: there's no router or anything, i just yank out the rj 45 and plug it into my laptop
[08:45] <Znuff> macogw, hmmm, wait, you're trying to 2 use 2 computers on the same modem?
[08:45] <jessica> hey could you help me anyone? it won't let me install like windows live messenger because it says there is "no suitable application is available to automatically install this file" could you help.. PLEASEE?

[08:45] <macogw> Znuff: yes...i unplug one, and then i plug in the other
[08:45] <rakyray> ok, i've tried to do what you're doing, and i didn't, because i'd have to install the java seperately.  i don't know if you need that, but i can't help you with all the plugins.  i just know htat you dl the firefox linux version from the firefox website, put it in /home/xxx, and run the bin file in the folder firefox creates after you extract it.  i'm not a pro, but that's what i know. :)
[08:45] <crabgrass> jessica: have you tried using pidign?
[08:45] <onur_> HELP
[08:45] <rakyray> crashoverride,
[08:46] <Znuff> macogw, maybe your ISP is restricting access by MAC address?
[08:46] <jessica> ..whats pidign?
[08:46] <slaiter> niels: start the pc with wincd in recovery modus.. do fdisk /mbr
[08:46] <crashoverride> rakyray, ?
[08:46] <crabgrass> jessica: wlm is windows software, (ends in .exe) and therefore won't work in linux
[08:46] <PriceChild> jessica, linux is not windwos.
[08:46] <jessica> sorry im only 15 so im not really and expert
[08:46] <crabgrass> jessica: pidgin is the new name of gaim
[08:46] <Znuff> what's wlm?
[08:46] <Pelo> jessica,  are you triying to install a windows program on ubuntu ? that doesn't work on it's own,   find a windows alternative and if you can install wine to run your prog on
[08:46] <crabgrass> jessica: no problems
[08:46] <rakyray> see above, crashoverride , that's what i know, i just forget to put you s/n in the previous mesasge
[08:46] <slaiter> niels: now the windows loader should be back
[08:46] <bousket> hi all ! I ve got a pb on my feisty ubuntu. I try to launch a film by samba on totem and it play very fast or very slow. I haven't found how to setup it. There is no options in settings...  Some idea?
[08:46] <macogw> Znuff: ive used this laptop on comcast before with wireless at my dad's, and when my brother brought over a router, i hooked it in through there before
[08:46] <jessica> ohh okay thankss
[08:46] <abdelrahman> hi , i changed my mother board but still use same linux on same old hd, i have a problem with sound, can anyone help
[08:46] <nixnoob> why does my laptop CPU run at 72C idle?
[08:47] <jessica> so there is like nothing i can really do then?
[08:47] <crabgrass> jessica: pidgin is one program that will let you talk on aim, msn, yahoo, irc, icq and a whole lot more at the same time
[08:47] <crashoverride> rakyray, see what?
[08:47] <zbrown> jessica: use Gaim or aMsn
[08:47] <Znuff> macogw, my point exactly.
[08:47] <CheshireViking> jessica, also look at either Gaim, Kopete or aMSN,
[08:47] <magnetron> jessica: in most cases you cannot run the windows version of a program. the default MSN client for ubuntu is called gaim by default, it recently switched name to pidgin
[08:47] <jessica> do you have to like change your email accound and stuff
[08:47] <Znuff> macogw, So now you're justr trying to connect directly to the modem with the laptop, right?
[08:47] <jessica> **account
[08:47] <crabgrass> jessica: nope
[08:47] <Znuff> jessica, no.
[08:47] <macogw> Znuff: yes
[08:47] <jessica> oh so you can use your hotmail one?
[08:47] <CheshireViking> !pidgin
[08:47] <anthrax> pff
[08:47] <magnetron> jessica: yes
[08:47] <crabgrass> jessica: you're using the same account, you're just using a different program to sign on
[08:47] <macogw> jessica: yes, just type in all the info
[08:48] <anthrax> anyone to help me?
[08:48] <jessica> YAAAY thank youu so much!
[08:48] <Znuff> macogw, then, like I said, your ISP probably restricts access by MAC Adress
[08:48] <crabgrass> jessica: awesome, another one converted!
[08:48] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[08:48] <magnetron> jessica: start gaim first, it is in the applications > internet menu
[08:48] <niels__> Thanks everyone :-)
[08:48] <jessica> phew i was worried id have to live without msn and that aint good!
[08:48] <Pelo> anthrax, what whit ?
[08:48] <bousket> with all gstreamer codecs and others installed
[08:48] <Znuff> jessica, Hotmail is MSN, MSN is just a Chat Network. There are 100s of clients that can connect to MSN Network. GAIM is just one of them.
[08:48] <crashoverride> How can I install Feisty?
[08:48] <jessica> thankyou guyss :D il go and try ittt
[08:48] <jessica>  x x x<3
[08:48] <macogw> Znuff: but i've connected, wired, through it before, and how would comcast know my desktop's mac address?
[08:48] <Znuff> jessica, also, MSN Live or whatever is it called now, it's another one.
[08:49] <anthrax> Pelo:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22607/
[08:49] <slaiter> niels then read this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Boot_from_Windows_Bootloader_(NTLDR)_and_why
[08:49] <Znuff> macogw, your ISP knows your mac address :-)
[08:49] <Pelo> anthrax,   next time state the problem first
[08:49] <rakyray> crashoverride, you have to clean-install, you can't upgrade.  make a partition for you personal data with gparted, then clean-install feisty on your old OS partition
[08:49] <macogw> crashoverride: either upgrade from edgy or use the live cd. if the live cd doesnt like your comp's graphics, try the alternate
[08:49] <crabgrass> anyone have any ideas for my problem?
[08:49] <savvas> how can i edit the stuff in my default.keyring?
[08:49] <anthrax> Pelo: i don't understand the problem very well :/
[08:49] <FlashNet3> Znuff: have u ever setup postfix
[08:49] <slaiter> read whit care since not all things apply to Ubuntu aswell
[08:49] <anthrax> something with java
[08:49] <gcbdm> So since I need ndiswrapper for my wireless. Would I have to put ndiswrapper on my flash drive?
[08:50] <Znuff> macogw, Many ISPs provide internet access to their clients based on mac-address.
[08:50] <macogw> Znuff: why does it work if i put this laptop (wired) through a router though?
[08:50] <Znuff> FlashNet3, yes, I have. No, I won't help you.
[08:50] <Znuff> macogw, because then you don't get your IP address from the ISP, but from the router.
[08:50] <crashoverride> How do I upgrade from edgy and where can i get it macogw
[08:50] <Pelo> anthrax,  you have broken dependencies,   see whre it says  try apt-get -f install  ,   try apt-get -f install
[08:50] <Znuff> !upgrade
[08:50] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:50] <Funkah> Don't be such a meanie, Znuff ;)
[08:50] <Znuff> !upgrade | crashoverride
[08:50] <ubotu> crashoverride: please see above
[08:51] <macogw> crashoverride: if you have edgy, you just clik the upgrade button the updates thing says updates are available.  if edgy isnt installed, go to ubuntu.com and download the cd
[08:51] <beerockxs> hey, I just set-up WLAN for the first time, and it's working, but I get a small lag spike every few seconds
[08:51] <beerockxs> anyone have an idea what might cause that?
[08:51] <rakyray> macogw, he's got 5.04, can he upgrade?
[08:51] <beerockxs> signal strength is at 100%
[08:51] <Znuff> beerockxs, network lag or general CPU lag?
[08:51] <anthrax> Pelo: i did and it sayed to me the same error
[08:51] <anthrax> :/
[08:51] <crabgrass> beerockxs: wireless does that sometimes, might be a hardware thing
[08:51] <Znuff> HOLY CRAP! 5.04? Ouch.
[08:51] <macogw> rakyray: i said "if you have edgy"
[08:52] <Pelo> anthrax, ok then   sudo apt-get install all the depends  pacakges listed , one by one
[08:52] <Znuff> crashoverride, anyway, just check the instructions at the url.
[08:52] <macogw> which one is 5.04?  is that warty?
[08:52] <beerockxs> Znuff: network lag, when i continously ping any site, every 5th or so ping takes 1.5 seconds instead of the usual 50 ms
[08:52] <Funkah> Never met a wireless connection that was super stable.
[08:52] <fredo> hola
[08:52] <macogw> ive only been around for a year...
[08:52] <Znuff> beerockxs, oh, that's general Wireless stuff.
[08:52] <AceRock> can anyone answer a couple questions about configuring dual display (lcd and tv) in xorg.conf (on i915, but i have more general Qs)?
[08:52] <macogw> Funkah: really?  my wireless is MUCH more stable than my wired
[08:52] <Znuff> beerockxs, lag appears when you usually have a high network usage.
[08:53] <fredo> alguien que hable espaol
[08:53] <macogw> Funkah: probably just because sky2 completely sucks though
[08:53] <crabgrass> beerockxs: yeah... try moving any cordless phones, microwaves, etc far from the router
[08:53] <Znuff> !spanish
[08:53] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:53] <zbrown> macogw: you would be the first then.

[08:53] <crabgrass> beerockxs: but other than that, there's not too much you can do. wireless still isn't as reliable as wired
[08:53] <beerockxs> Znuff: even with 100% signal strength? I don't have much traffic right now, just playing openttd, and downloading something at 54 kB/s
[08:53] <Funkah> macogw: Really?  My one used to blip  every 15 odd minutes, but my ethernet is good.
[08:53] <macogw> actualandrew: there's a plugin that gets rid of extra joins
[08:53] <actualandrew> ill check
[08:53] <Znuff> beerockxs, yes, even with 100% signal strength
[08:53] <anthrax> good
[08:53] <beerockxs> well crap
[08:54] <crabgrass> beerockxs: signal strength isn't 100% accurate
[08:54] <Znuff> beerockxs, consider that WiFi is't not SYMETRICAL! You have a bandwidth of 54mbps all together.
[08:54] <BlackChaos> where can i go to dl themes for unbuntu
[08:54] <macogw> Funkah: yeah i can stay connected for long times and download just fine wireless.  my wired connection dies every 5 minutes if i try to download anything
[08:54] <Znuff> BlackChaos, gnome-look.org
[08:54] <zbrown> beerockxs: thats just how it goes with wireless, you learn to live iwth it
[08:54] <Funkah> macogw Totally opposite for me :p
[08:54] <crabgrass> Znuff: 54mbps combined upload and download?
[08:54] <Znuff> crabgrass, yes. It's not full duplex either.
[08:54] <crabgrass> Znuff: i didn't know that
[08:54] <crabgrass> Znuff: really? damn
[08:54] <Znuff> You know now :-)
[08:54] <macogw> Funkah: you probably dont have the craptastic sky2 driver for your wired connection.  Marvell Yukon NICs are TERRIBLE on linux
[08:54] <crabgrass> *starssss*
[08:55] <Funkah> macogw Don't hiss but I'm on windows, sssssshhh
[08:55] <BlackChaos> k
[08:55] <BlackChaos> thx alot znuff
[08:55] <macogw> Funkah: haha isok i have 2 boxes still running windows because they 1 has to do skype vid, and 1 has a lexmark printer
[08:55] <macogw> BlackChaos: are you by any chance named Krishna?
[08:55] <BlackChaos> no
[08:55] <macogw> ok
[08:55] <BlackChaos> y
[08:55] <BlackChaos> ok
[08:56] <Funkah> macogw I wants Linux, though :(
[08:56] <crabgrass> Funkah: hisss
[08:56] <macogw> BlackChaos: one of my friends goes by blackchaosv on aim and his name's krishna
[08:56] <zbrown> Funkah: why arent you on windows ;)?
[08:56] <Funkah> crabgrass I'll hit you with a BSOD.  Don't tempt me!
[08:56] <zbrown> err linux
[08:56] <zbrown> woops
[08:56] <BlackChaos> oh ok
[08:56] <anthrax> ahh pelo left
[08:56] <anthrax> :/
[08:56] <Znuff> I'm on windows as I speak -_-
[08:56] <crabgrass> Funkah: hehehe
[08:57] <Funkah> Because, this computer suuuucks.  Need more storage, RAM, disc drive that'll read discs, etc.
[08:57] <PurpZeY> Everybody stay off windows, I hear it's addictive and destroys lives
[08:57] <walkintome> does anyone know if you can run compiz/beryl with onboard graphics
[08:57] <nitz> Anyone know how I can uninstall an app?
[08:57] <ferronica> Does anyone know why my icons for the dock don't work? All I have is a blank dock with some text floating as I move around it - and none of the icons appear!
[08:57] <zbrown> blasphemy! you wlil all be hung from the rafter by your toe nails!
[08:57] <PurpZeY> walkintome: #ubuntu-effects
[08:57] <BlackChaos> i just started using linux yesterday so im a complete noob at this and i wanted to know how to install a them from gnome-look.org
[08:57] <Znuff> ferronica, wich dock?
[08:57] <zbrown> Funkah: linux should be better for that than windows...
[08:57] <Znuff> walkintome, yes you can.
[08:57] <tondar> hey all
[08:57] <macogw> Znuff: ok so howabout a different question then.  how do i make my ubuntu desktop act as a router? it has a wired connection to it and then a wireless card that could probably broadcast like a wireless router, right?
[08:57] <Funkah> zbrown Really?
[08:57] <anthrax> i am right now having this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22608/
[08:57] <Znuff> walkintome, I was running on a GeForce 4 MX 440
[08:57] <ferronica> Znuff: cairo-dock
[08:57] <tondar> is there an open source 3gp player?

[08:58] <nitz> Hey does anyone know how to remove a package?
[08:58] <jessica> heyy its me again haha sorry. right this gaim thingy.. ive added all my email address and password etc etc and thenn like you press savee and... then what do you do? nothing happens and theres nothing like "connect" or something anywhere.. sorry i must seem like such a dunce!
[08:58] <Funkah> zbrown Wow... Now, I'm awfully tempted.
[08:58] <zbrown> Funkah: whats the specs on your computer?
[08:58] <Znuff> macogw, to act as a router will be easy. but I'm not familiar wich broadcom chipsets :-/
[08:58] <crabgrass> zbrown: linux can run on a toaster
[08:58] <Znuff> macogw, last time I checked only a few chipsets do that.
[08:58] <Funkah> zbrown No idea.  Let me try to dig them up.
[08:58] <Geeerd> How do i set TV out for ubuntu?
[08:58] <zbrown> crabgrass: if it has a micro processor, probably
[08:58] <homanj> jessica: make sure that account is enabled in the Accounts menu
[08:59] <jessica> yep it is
[08:59] <CapRiCoRN^80> hi ! is there any way i can download ubuntu softwares
[08:59] <crabgrass> zbrown: mine has an lcd clock =D
[08:59] <CapRiCoRN^80> coz i dont have active net connection on ubuntu
[08:59] <jessica> but like i duno what to do after that
[08:59] <PurpZeY> jessica: gaim should connect once you start it and enter your password.
[08:59] <CapRiCoRN^80> coz i dont have active internet connection on ubuntu
[08:59] <AceRock> Geerd, whast card?  i got tv out but trying to tweak xorg now
[08:59] <nitz> Hey could anyone tell me how I can uninstall a package?
[08:59] <homanj> nitz: sudo apt-get remove package
[08:59] <jessica> it just has add modify delete and close
[08:59] <crabgrass> zbrown: i've been staring at it at breakfast for two months now wondering 'how would i get folding@home on this?'
[08:59] <tondar> 3gp player out there for ubuntu?
[08:59] <Darkburger> I need help :D
[08:59] <jessica> gahh it doesnt :s
[08:59] <Znuff> !3gp
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:59] <frojnd> FFS has anyone here managed to install a2dpd driver??? I was trying to install all parts and depdendencies to work bluetooth headset. Bur everything stops when i come to the point that I have to edita2dprc. There is no such file... I was trying to install it by this tutorial, I think all known site: http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/build.html  Can someone tell me where to edit file a2dprc or maybe is another thing?
[08:59] <PurpZeY> jessica: have you tried restarting gaim?
[08:59] <crabgrass> !ask | Darkburger:
[08:59] <ubotu> Darkburger:: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:59] <jessica> il try that
[08:59] <Znuff> tondar, probably xine or MPlayer does 3gp. but I'm not sure.
[08:59] <tondar> Znuff: :(
[08:59] <zbrown> crabgrass: you'd never in your lifetime finish a folding@home sequence with that thing lol
[09:00] <Darkburger> Is there a way to create recovery disk for Ubuntu?
[09:00] <nitz> homanj: Thanks! I thought I had tried that but I must have mistyped
[09:00] <tondar> Znuff: any open source
[09:00] <tondar> ?
[09:00] <Znuff> tondar, mplayer is open source -_-
[09:00] <AceRock> Geeerd, whast card?  i got tv out but trying to tweak xorg now
[09:00] <homanj> nitz: np. that should work.
[09:00] <crabgrass> zbrown: lol, yeah, so step two is 'how do i overclock my toaster?'
[09:00] <Znuff> tondar, also, have a look at VLC
[09:00] <tondar> Znuff: vlc open too?
[09:00] <Funkah> zbrown So, what things dya need to know?
[09:00] <Darkburger> Cause I am about to install Windows, and Windows is gonna farg my Ubuntu boot leader
[09:00] <Darkburger> loader*
[09:00] <zbrown> Funkah: processor, memory mainly
[09:00] <Znuff> tondar, yes.
[09:00] <Geeerd> I can do it on windows , but not here . I have integrated gforce 6350
[09:00] <jessica> oh right well it says hat ive been disconnected because i signed in at another location :S but thank you that is an improvement!
[09:00] <zbrown> Funkah: those are the key points
[09:00] <tondar> Znuff: which can you configure ? (langauge packs)
[09:01] <crabgrass> Darkburger: do you have a second harddisk you can install windows onto?
[09:01] <Darkburger> Yes
[09:01] <Znuff> tondar, probably all of them, not sure.
[09:01] <Geeerd> AceRock:oops 6150
[09:01] <AceRock> geeerd: yea, well are you trying to congigure xorg.conf, or are you just trying to get a signal?
[09:01] <p1ls> anyone knows a cool website with awsome  wallpers?
[09:01] <homanj> jessica: you probably have 2 gaim instances opened.
[09:01] <Darkburger> I put ubuntu on my HDA2
[09:01] <PurpZeY> Darkburger: The LiveCD will recover...But usually windows eats GRUB and from what I glean that is hard to recover.
[09:01] <AceRock> cause the xorg.conf is somewhat gweneral
[09:01] <Darkburger> :(
[09:01] <ReverseBlade> p1ls, google: gnome wallpapers
[09:01] <jessica> homanj: i think i do haha. thank you everyone (again) <3
[09:01] <zbrown> p1ls: http://interfacelift.com/
[09:01] <crabgrass> Darkburger: well, what i've done in the past is have one drive for ubuntu, one for windows, then physically plug and unplug the drives to make sure windows doesn't kill linux
[09:01] <homanj> jessica: np.
[09:01] <Znuff> p1ls, or just have a look at gnome-look.org
[09:01] <CapRiCoRN^80> hi ! is there any way i can download ubuntu softwares
[09:02] <Darkburger> Hmm, go the physical route eh?
[09:02] <CapRiCoRN^80> coz i dont have active internet connection on ubuntu
[09:02] <Darkburger> Pk
[09:02] <CapRiCoRN^80> wat should i do ?
[09:02] <Darkburger> k
[09:02] <Funkah> zbrown 1305 MHZ (Or so the sys info says) and Virtual memory or physical?
[09:02] <AceRock> geeerd: i'm on i915, but that doesn't matter as muich at this point, i just need to figure out the device/monitor/screen stuff first
[09:02] <Geeerd> I have got NvTv TVout installed and when i try to run it , it says unsupported graphics card
[09:02] <crabgrass> Darkburger: 'cause i've had win2kpro eat a ext3 partition on boot, and i don't want that to happen again
[09:02] <ReverseBlade> CapRiCoRN^80, you can try the DVD version of them
[09:02] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, you should get one
[09:02] <zbrown> Funkah: physical
[09:02] <ReverseBlade> f it
[09:02] <Darkburger> Okay
[09:02] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys how is one supposed to benefit from apt-on-cd if the destination computer does not have apt-on-cd installed?? this kind of defeats the purpose does it not
[09:02] <Funkah> zbrown 256MB.  Did say It was hyucky.
[09:02] <Darkburger> So just unplug my Ubuntu disk before I install windows?
[09:02] <Znuff> Uhm, who was asking about WiFi and comcast and router? I lost the nickname.
[09:02] <zbrown> Funkah: that would run Xubuntu fine
[09:02] <Funkah> zbrown Oooooo.
[09:02] <ioco> quick question: can you do online banking through KMyMoney?
[09:02] <zbrown> Funkah: Ubuntu would be painful, but Xubuntu would be just fine, I put it on my dad's lappy and it has similar specs
[09:02] <zbrown> he loves it
[09:03] <Lounge> Xubuntu  that's a lite version on ubuntu right?
[09:03] <zbrown> Funkah: http://xubuntu.org ;)
[09:03] <Lounge> for older slower computers?
[09:03] <Znuff> Lounge, yes, running with XFCE instead of Gnome.
[09:03] <zbrown> Lounge: well its ubuntu but instead of Gnome it uses XFce
[09:03] <ferronica> Does anyone know why my icons for the dock don't work? All I have is a blank dock with some text floating as I move around it - and none of the icons appear!
[09:03] <CapRiCoRN^80> i dont have dvd version . i just want to shift on my ubuntu now as i m on windows
[09:03] <konqerr> how do I mount NTFS partition?
[09:03] <Lounge> understood
[09:03] <Geeerd> AceRock : Do u have any docs on how to get it set in ubuntu?
[09:03] <CapRiCoRN^80> can i download it from any site now ?
[09:03] <CapRiCoRN^80> i mean diff softwares

[09:03] <Znuff> konqerr, have a look at what ubotu said.
[09:04] <Funkah> zbrown What specs would you recommend as a good minimum for Ubuntu?
[09:04] <homanj> Paddy_EIRE: not entirely familiar with APTonCD, but couldnt you put the aptoncd package on the cd?

[09:04] <ReverseBlade> Funkah, 512 MB ram, 15 GB diskspace
[09:04] <Znuff> konqerr, then, again, have a look at that URL.
[09:04] <zbrown> Funkah: good minimum for ubuntu? Well I would say at least a 2ghz Pentium (NOT Celeron) and 512 MB ram
[09:04] <Darkburger> So Windows WILL screw my Linux boot loader if I install it after I install Ubuntu?
[09:04] <Paddy_EIRE> homanj, that is a good question
[09:04] <PurpZeY> ferronica: You might have better luck w/ that issue in #ubuntu-effects, not positive....
[09:04] <Znuff> zbrown, wrong ;)
[09:05] <ReverseBlade> Darkburger, absolutely
[09:05] <PurpZeY> Darkburger: I believe so...
[09:05] <zbrown> Znuff: I have a 2.8ghz Celeron that was terrible with Ubuntu, runs fine with Xubuntu
[09:05] <Darkburger> Okay
[09:05] <Znuff> I've been able to run Ubuntu + Beryl on a Pentium 4 Celeron @ 1.7 with 512MB ram and a GeForce 4 MX 440

[09:05] <zbrown> Znuff: hmmm you must know something I don't maybe its that its a celeron laptop
[09:05] <ReverseBlade> Darkburger, the solution is easy though, search the forums
[09:05] <konqerr> oh man They are telling me that LiveCD can't mount NTFS??
[09:05] <Znuff> zbrown, no idea :)
[09:05] <Darkburger> Okay, I'll go to the forums
[09:05] <zbrown> Znuff: Feisty?
[09:05] <konqerr> that's a kernel option how can that be
[09:05] <Darkburger> Thanks
[09:05] <konqerr> that's retarded
[09:05] <Znuff> konqerr, uhm, yes?
[09:05] <Znuff> zbrown, edgy
[09:05] <zbrown> Znuff: desktop?
[09:06] <Znuff> zbrown, yes
[09:06] <Lounge> the knoppix live cd i have mounts it very well

[09:06] <homanj> question*
[09:06] <Znuff> zbrown, I'm not on that computer now. It's my home computer. And like I said, it's a Celeron @ 1.7Ghz
[09:06] <konqerr> I need to do it through Kubuntu LiveCD
[09:06] <ptrbee> sorry
[09:06] <tondar> Znuff: thanks for VLC
[09:06] <konqerr> OMG!!
[09:06] <tondar> ;)
[09:06] <konqerr> that's retarded
[09:06] <zbrown> Znuff: hrm, well i want to compare some of the flags mainly, not interested in the speed etc./
[09:07] <konqerr> thanks, now I am royally screwed
[09:07] <ProN00b> anyone knows any good apt-gettable games ?
[09:07] <PurpZeY> konqueer: 1)  #Kubuntu, 2) You might be able to use NTFS read to access NTFS partitions.

[09:07] <arthanix> hi
[09:07] <zbrown> Znuff: I did a feisty install on my dad's laptop with the 2.8 ghz Celreon w/ 1 gig of ram and it was UNBEARABLE in terms of speed
[09:07] <ReverseBlade> ProN00b, you can search them via synaptic
[09:07] <Znuff> zbrown, SpeedStep maybe? Slow HDDs, etc.
[09:08] <ReverseBlade> ProN00b, nexuiz, battle for wesnoth
[09:08] <arthanix> Could someone please direct me to a good and easy howto on setting up software raid5. (tried about 20 guides, and none worked)
[09:08] <zbrown> Znuff: its got a 7200 rpm hdd in it
[09:08] <ProN00b> ReverseBlade, i didn't know synaptic had a "good" attribute i could search for
[09:08] <zbrown> Znuff: and speedstep shouldn't have been an issue
[09:08] <Znuff> zbrown, then I have no idea...
[09:08] <zbrown> though i'll check
[09:08] <zbrown> its odd
[09:08] <heffo> zbrown, are you sure about that? i run ubuntu on a amd 3000 with 512 ram and it runs great
[09:08] <zbrown> i really expected it to be fine w/ Ubuntu
[09:08] <Znuff> It worked great for me.
[09:08] <CapRiCoRN^80> i dont have any problem during installing ubuntu . i need extra packages of ubuntu
[09:08] <CapRiCoRN^80> from where i can download it now ?
[09:08] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, just get internet.
[09:08] <ptrbee> i installed tbird 2.0 today in feisty...it did not work so i then istalled same ott from automatix,,still didn't work so i then reinstalled 1.5 after removing 2.0 now gettingthis error :/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird$ ./mozilla-thunderbird-bin
[09:08] <ptrbee> ./mozilla-thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:08] <zbrown> heffo: I'm positive, and its not like I'm new to the stuff either. Been on Linux for 7 years and never seen anything like it, I'm compeltely puzzled
[09:09] <Funkah> zbrown I should get Dapper Drake versus Feisty Fawn?
[09:09] <ReverseBlade> ProN00b, there are categories you can search games there, or just search "game" and see  the results
[09:09] <PurpZeY> !automatix | ptrbee
[09:09] <ubotu> ptrbee: Automatix2 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.

[09:09] <ReverseBlade> Funkah, no Go for Fiesty Fawn
[09:09] <CapRiCoRN^80> i told u internet is not working on ubuntu
[09:09] <Znuff> zbrown, I've actually run Xubuntu on a Celeron @ 900 Mhz with 256MB ram. And I upgraded from ubuntu to xubuntu ;)
[09:09] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, then get it working.
[09:09] <ubuntu> ,,loi9ik09i9900999
[09:09] <heffo> zbrown, thats weird, guess its the whole works for me bug style of thing. im pretty new to linux myself (2 months or so)
[09:09] <ptrbee> worksforme??? whats that??
[09:09] <illriginal> Hey guys, I have just downloaded and installed, checkgmail and I'd like to for it to appear on the task bar like it's supposed to
[09:09] <rakyray> CapRiCoRN^80, do you have wireless?
[09:09] <ep2011> If Xorg is using 73.5 MB f ram and 0% cpu usage, is that normal?
[09:10] <crabgrass> Znuff: xfce is an awesome window manager, built in compositing and a small memory footprint
[09:10] <Znuff> ep2011, ues
[09:10] <lotto> capricon, whats ur net connection?
[09:10] <juanbond> how can i find out exactly what model of processor i have in my machine.. i've already done cat /proc/cpuinfo but doesn't display enough information.  is there an app that will allow me to see more information?
[09:10] <ReverseBlade> ep2011, yes
[09:10] <Znuff> crabgrass, I know that. But I even run Gnome on that Celeron @ 900 box.
[09:10] <crabgrass> Znuff: ooo
[09:10] <homanj> !WorksForME | ptrbee
[09:10] <ubotu> ptrbee: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). 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.
[09:10] <ubuntu> ola
[09:10] <Znuff> And it was decent enough... but I wanted xfce :P
[09:10] <ep2011> Znuff and ReverseBlade thanks, I wanted to make sure
[09:10] <ReverseBlade> juanbond, try #linux as well
[09:11] <ptrbee> ubotu: what's !WorksForMe
[09:11] <zbrown> heffo: ya... i may need to look at this though
[09:11] <konqerr> anyone?
[09:11] <Znuff> juanbond, dmidecode
[09:11] <ubuntu> ola VaNeSsSsA
[09:11] <ReverseBlade> konqerr, what's up ?
[09:11] <BWz> hi again
[09:11] <PurpZeY> Znuff: Just out of curiousity, what is that command going to return?
[09:11] <illriginal> Can someone help me get my Checkgmail icon to show on my taskbar like it's supposed to be?
[09:11] <ptrbee>  !WorksForME | ptrbee
[09:11] <jburd> is it possible to view video cds in ubuntu?
[09:11] <anthrax> i am right now having this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22608/
[09:11] <homanj> ptrbee: automatix tends to screw stuff up. you could remove thunderbird and then installing again.
[09:12] <Znuff> PurpZeY, pretty much everything about your mainboard and bios etc.
[09:12] <ptrbee> i did
[09:12] <ReverseBlade> jburd, sure
[09:12] <jburd> ubuntu doesn't seem to automatically  mount vcds
[09:12] <ptrbee> no joy
[09:12] <homanj> ptrbee: you uninstalled 1.5?
[09:12] <Darkhack> jburd, you might have trouble with encryption, but if you burned it yourself, then yes.
[09:12] <BWz> where can i find a good guide about ubuntu's possible partitions? i wanna get the better out of my disk space xD
[09:12] <ptrbee> yep
[09:12] <jburd> ReverseBlade, it doesn't mount it on my system nor on my wife's
[09:12] <ReverseBlade> jburd, VLC does
[09:12] <heffo> zbrown, one of my computers is absolutely dire, specs are alright but its just really slow. it would take 3 hours to boot into windows and i had to take it apart and fiddle with all of the connections to get it to boot properly, still just very slow
[09:12] <ReverseBlade> jburd, hmm can you not browse it ?
[09:12] <jburd> ReverseBlade, hmm.  no.
[09:12] <jburd> ReverseBlade, I tried sticking in an Ice Age VCD
[09:13] <Znuff> heffo, check the coolers/fans
[09:13] <jburd> It doesn't work here nor at my wife's house
[09:13] <ReverseBlade> jburd, I dunno, I can watch DVD's but never tried VCD's
[09:13] <homanj> ptrbee: not sure what to say then.
[09:13] <ptrbee> did  a complete removal in synaptics
[09:13] <CapRiCoRN^80> i got wireless connection
[09:13] <bluesign> hey
[09:13] <ptrbee> then reinstalled
[09:13] <luis> hi
[09:13] <Darkhack> jburd, is your fstab set up correctly to show your CD drive?
[09:13] <CapRiCoRN^80> n my wireless connection is not working on ubuntu
[09:13] <CapRiCoRN^80> thats the problem
[09:13] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, then how about you GET IT working?
[09:13] <jburd> Darkhack, yes.  It can mount other cds.  Just not vcds
[09:13] <hydrozen> hey, i just installed 7.04 on my laptop. I have an nvidia graphic card yet when i run the restricted driver utility it says that my hardware does not need any restricted drivers... any ideas?
[09:13] <jburd> What's the problem?
[09:13] <bluesign> any idea if i can use my secondary display with another login?
[09:13] <heffo> znuff, il look them over, i dusted it out when i took it apart but that could be the problem, thanks
[09:14] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, go to synaptic and install nvidia-new
[09:14] <Lounge> i wonder if there's a way to increase the speed on an OpenVPN tunnel..
[09:14] <CapRiCoRN^80> Znuff: i need ndiswrapper package for that
[09:14] <Znuff> bluesign, you can, but I'll really want to see you controlling that with only one keyboard :)
[09:14] <ptrbee> ok ...looks like i have to go do a reinstall then
[09:14] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, you actually need more than one package for that.
[09:14] <aLeSD> hi all
[09:14] <CapRiCoRN^80> yes right
[09:14] <heffo> hydrozen, what graphics card are you using?
[09:14] <CapRiCoRN^80> wat should i do ?
[09:14] <Znuff> CapRiCoRN^80, I'd recommend sticking the network cable first
[09:14] <aLeSD> where I can find a kenel for my centrino ?
[09:15] <aLeSD> I mean the generic one is for 386
[09:15] <aLeSD> I think
[09:15] <CapRiCoRN^80> its not possible
[09:15] <illriginal> kubuntu
[09:15] <illriginal>  #kubuntu
[09:15] <PurpZeY> aLeSD: Someone might tell me I am wrong, but I think it's the same.
[09:15] <ptrbee> thanks for your help
[09:15] <ptrbee> byee
[09:15] <CapRiCoRN^80> i mean this is problem if ur modem n wireless connection on ubuntu . u cant get updates etc
[09:15] <bluesign> Znuff: i extended my desktop, but didn't like the way ubuntu handles it, then i tried without xinerama, but i cannot launch firefox on second display etc
[09:15] <CapRiCoRN^80> i think suse 10.2 got all on cd's
[09:16] <jburd> So why can I not play VCDs?
[09:16] <CapRiCoRN^80> ubuntu should put all in cds
[09:16] <ReverseBlade> CapRiCoRN^80, that's why Suse sucks
[09:16] <Znuff> aLeSD, the -generic kernel handles smp pretty good.
[09:16] <hydrozen> heffo: nvidia geforce 7200
[09:16] <jburd> I tried introducing my family to ubuntu but they are getting disappointed.
[09:16] <tux_wears_a_tux> How do I make a C++ file executable using Anjuta?
[09:16] <PurpZeY> CapRiCorN^80: Ubuntu works off of one CD.
[09:16] <aLeSD> Zbuff: smp is for multiprocessor ?
[09:16] <aLeSD> i have one centrino
[09:16] <Znuff> aLeSD, yes
[09:16] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, hp pavillion ?
[09:16] <PurpZeY> jburd: Did you install all of the codecs? and libdvd?
[09:16] <CapRiCoRN^80> but i told u the problem
[09:16] <hydrozen> ReverseBlade: yeah, dv6040
[09:16] <Funkah> zbrown Hate to ask, but is dual-booting Xubuntu with windows not possible without putting it onto a CD?  The dual-booting page at Xubuntu seems to suggest such :/
[09:17] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, install nvidia-new and you'll be fine
[09:17] <BWz> hmm, what should be the size of my swap partition? (yes, first time with linux xD each guide says a different thing...)
[09:17] <tux_wears_a_tux> If somebody  can answer my question, please do so :)
[09:17] <AceRock> when i change stuff and want a new xorg log file, do i have to totally reboot or can i just end and start a new session?
[09:17] <Znuff> aLeSD, unless you're ona server box, you're ok with the -generic kernel that works good for smp, centrinos, dual cores etc.
[09:17] <heffo> hydrozen, i had problems with my 6600 geforce, the best thing to do is to go straight to the nvidia site, download the drivers and compile them yourself, it will do pretty much everything for you and itl run fine
[09:17] <Znuff> BWz, what's your ram size/
[09:17] <aLeSD> well a kernel compiled for my cpu uses all the specialized operation in it
[09:17] <walkintome> hi all. im trying to help an individual out who has ubunto and windows installed on separate driver, but now he can only boot into windows. does anyone know of a nice reference to help him get his system dual-bootable
[09:17] <BWz> Znuff i'm pretty sure it's 512 MB xD
[09:17] <Znuff> aLeSD, don't mess with the kernel on ubuntu ;)
[09:17] <PurpZeY> AceRock: Make sure to back up.
[09:17] <aLeSD> I could go 30-40% faster with a specialized kernel
[09:17] <Znuff> BWz, then maximum 1GB partition size.
[09:17] <Znuff> aLeSD, not really
[09:18] <AceRock> BWz, you're gonna get<PHONE_NUMBER>57 opinions :D  check the guides and think about it for a bit
[09:18] <AceRock> lol
[09:18] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, heffo, not for dv6000  series. nvdia-new package is better than the binary of nvidia site
[09:18] <tux_wears_a_tux>  If somebody  can answer my question, please do so :)
[09:18] <Znuff> aLeSD, we're not in the '90s :)
[09:18] <PurpZeY> AceRock: I think the xorg logs on reboot though...Hopefullysomeone will see this and correct me.
[09:18] <jburd> PurpZeY, yes.  libxine-extracodecs
[09:18] <magnetron> aLeSD: the generic will choose an optimized kernel for you
[09:18] <ReverseBlade> tux_wears_a_tux, what's up
[09:18] <AceRock> porpzey: what do you mjean backup?
[09:18] <AceRock> oh, yea i've got the conf file backed up
[09:18] <illriginal> Can someone help me to get my checkmail to start up when ubuntu starts up?!
[09:18] <AceRock> i'm just trying to tweak my tv out
[09:18] <tux_wears_a_tux> ReverseBlade:  How do I make a C++ file executable using Anjuta?
[09:18] <jburd> PurpZeY, the problem is not the codecs.  Ubuntu just doesn't mount VCDs.
[09:19] <jack_> hi, simple question: i just got kubuntu-feisty installed here, and need to open that xserver for remote connections..how do i do that?
[09:19] <jburd> I don't understand why.
[09:19] <CapRiCoRN^80> oh man :(
[09:19] <illriginal> Can someone help me to get my checkmail to start up when ubuntu starts up?!
[09:19] <ReverseBlade> tux_wears_a_tux, tried #c++ ?
[09:19] <Znuff> tux_wears_a_tux, what's Anjuta?
[09:19] <PurpZeY> jburd: It is definitely capable...beyond that I'm not really sure (personally) how to help.
[09:19] <tux_wears_a_tux> Znuff: It's an IDE
[09:19] <konqerr> help!! what kinda cli permission do I need to pass in order to have NTFS mounted with user privileges
[09:19] <ReverseBlade> Znuff, it's IDE
[09:19] <konqerr> please
[09:19] <BWz> AceRock: maybe something around 1x~2x my ram is ok?
[09:19] <heffo> tux_wears_a_tux, hijacking your question but in anjuta go to build then choose the option you want
[09:19] <shiryu> someone know how to desactivate in amsn the message that appears every time you talk to a friend where says xperson join to the conversation?
[09:19] <konqerr> this utterly Live or Death situations
[09:19] <tux_wears_a_tux> heffo: thanks
[09:19] <konqerr> and time is running out
[09:19] <ReverseBlade> konqerr, what's your problem buddy
[09:19] <Znuff> BWz, maximum 1GB if you only have 512MB of ram
[09:19] <AceRock> BWz..i suppose, accorfing to the general rtule of thumb...
[09:20] <illriginal> Can someone help me to get my checkmail to start up when ubuntu starts up?!
[09:20] <zoom> do you advise me to drop icmp packets ??
[09:20] <PurpZeY> jack_: Why not a regular terminal?
[09:20] <jburd> PurpZeY, well this is occurring at two places.
[09:20] <Znuff> zoom, no.
[09:20] <Znuff> illriginal, just add the command to /etc/rc.local
[09:20] <PurpZeY> jburd: Did you install the gstreamer, and libdvd libs?
[09:20] <Znuff> illriginal, _before_ the exit statement ;)
[09:20] <jburd> PurpZeY, yes.
[09:20] <AceRock> i have 1.5 GB ram and 2 GB swap (planned 1gb  but things ended up that way and i'm lazy), and i rarely use my swp at all, most is like 5%
[09:20] <konqerr> ReverseBlade: I just mounted NTFS partition but it doesn't let me cd into it because of crappy permissions
[09:21] <hydrozen> ReverseBlade: anything special i must do after install nvidia-glx-new ?
[09:21] <jack_> PurpZeY: ssh works, i'm using irssi atm, but i want x11 too
[09:21] <zoom> Znuff: thanks, i don't know why but i have an answer
[09:21] <konqerr> I need the proper permission so I can use k3b to burn stuff outta the partitions
[09:21] <Znuff> zoom, you shouldn't drop them. Period.
[09:21] <konqerr> I need to do this ASAP
[09:21] <bluesign> i need to see for example, workspace 1 on my external monitor, and workspace 2 on laptop, that also does the trick, any idea?
[09:21] <walkintome> if ive got 2 drives, one with windows and one with ubuntu, but i cant boot to linux, only windows, if i insert the ubuntu cd in the drive and create a new GRUB, will it see the windows drive and ill be all set?
[09:21] <AceRock> can anyone answer a couple questions about configuring dual display (lcd and tv) in xorg.conf (on i915, but i have more general Qs)?
[09:21] <PurpZeY> jack_: sorry, that is beyond my scope of knowledge...I'm sure someone else might know.
[09:21] <Znuff> bluesign, run vnC on the second display?
[09:21] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, no nothing , you can try beryl or compiz, I can't remember if I tweaked with Xorg.conf though
[09:21] <shiryu> nobody know?
[09:21] <illriginal> Znuff how do I edit my /etc/rc.local ?
[09:21] <Znuff> jack_, what are you trying to do?
[09:21] <Znuff> illriginal, uhm, use your prefered editor.
[09:21] <Polygon89> Does anyone have a problem with totem not playing dvds right? I mean that when you put the dvd, totem auto plays them (but without menus) but then when you restart the dvd manually using totem it says it cant find the codecs, but they are installed and VLC plays them fine.
[09:22] <ReverseBlade> !ntfs | konqerr
[09:22] <ubotu> konqerr: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:22] <ReverseBlade> !ntfs-3g |  konqerr
[09:22] <ubotu> konqerr: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:22] <hydrozen> ReverseBlade: well xorg has to be changed to load the right driver at least..
[09:22] <PurpZeY> walkintome: When you install windows on top of Linux, the windows bootloader eats GRUB.
[09:22] <Znuff> Polygon89, VLC doesn't use external codecs. So that's irelevant.
[09:22] <p1ls> whats the difference beetwen aterm and eterm?
[09:22] <TheBaker> k
[09:22] <bluesign> znuff: i will try that
[09:22] <Znuff> p1ls, one is lighter and the second one is 10x better
[09:22] <Polygon89> znuff, i said that to emphasize that the codecs are indeed installed.
[09:22] <TheBaker> is there a way to make my profile load all my open windows tat i had open when i logged out?>
[09:22] <p1ls> so eterm better?
[09:22] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, I think the package should have done that for you
[09:22] <illriginal> Znuff just add "checkgmail" into that list?
[09:23] <jack_> znuff: i only need x11 to let remote clients in..on some dists it would be "xon <IP_ADDRESS> -access"
[09:23] <jack_> not on ubuntu
[09:23] <walkintome> PurpZeY: well, ive got a friend who installed linux to a separate drive than his xp, but he actualyl disconnected his xp drive when he installed linux, and now he can only boot into xp
[09:23] <PurpZeY> TheBaker: You can suspend to RAM or Hibernate on a laptop.
[09:23] <Znuff> Polygon89, VLC has it's own internal codecs. It doesn't use 3rd party codecs.
[09:23] <Znuff> illriginal, well, how do you run checkmail?
[09:23] <heffo> TheBaker, if you have a swap partition which is as big as or bigger than your ram you can hibernate
[09:23] <illriginal> i type checkgmail into terminal
[09:23] <ReverseBlade> hydrozen, I've also tried binary drivers of nvidia, not that good
[09:23] <Polygon89> znuff, then how come before installing the dvd codecs i cant play movies in VLC, but after installing them i can?
[09:23] <TheBaker> like i have gimp + firefox + xmms open....and i log out.....and when i log back in the windows re-open to the places they were at?
[09:23] <PurpZeY> walkintome: Windows tends to eat grub.
[09:24] <jack_> PurpZeY: any idea? it cant be that hard
[09:24] <Znuff> Polygon89, your doing something wrong.
[09:24] <PurpZeY> walkintome: I'm in this channel a decent amount each day...I think I see 2 or 3 people a day that have this problem.
[09:24] <walkintome> PurpZeY: is there a way to get the two drives set up in a dual boot?
[09:24] <heffo> TheBaker, to hibernate click the power button in the top right and then select hibernate, it will then shut down the computer and then when you turn it on it will reopen the windows you had open
[09:24] <brif8> Hi all I recently just went from single monitor to dual monitors (by adding a second monitor and making changes to xorg.conf)  Now (1) the menu icons have disappeared and (2) if you hold down a key it does NOT repeat, so if you are editing in nano you have to constantly press right arrow.  any ideas why ?
[09:24] <PurpZeY> walkintome: Yes, I did it. But I installed the Ubuntu over windows. Not the other way around.
[09:24] <jack_> Znuff: ? no clue? ;)
[09:24] <Polygon89> znuff, how? is VLC preinstalled, i cant remember
[09:24] <Znuff> !fixboot
[09:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixboot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:25] <uberushaximus> Polygon89, no
[09:25] <PurpZeY> Polygon89: No it isn't, but you can install it via add/remove.
[09:25] <p1ls> what music player is the best?
[09:25] <walkintome> PurpZeY: does he need to install linux again on the same drive as xp?
[09:25] <Znuff> jack_, sorry, haven't done X remote desktops, unless with VNC
[09:25] <jack_> doh, ok thx
[09:25] <Jowi> !mediaplayers | p1ls
[09:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaplayers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:25] <AceRock> to configure dual monitor, could i reconfigure xorg with both monitors active?  is xorg.conf the only file that chnges with dpkg-reconfigure?
[09:25] <tondar> hey guys how to change the lang for VLC player?
[09:25] <TheBaker> heffo: ....how about if I want to re-boot to xp and when i log back into linux everything is open?
[09:25] <p1ls> !mediaplayers
[09:25] <Polygon89> Ok, so that gets rid of vlc from the equation. But the fact is, that when i put a DVD into my computer, totem auto plays the DVD and starts playing the movie, but without menus. It just starts playing
[09:25] <Znuff> jack_, try beep media player
[09:25] <Jowi> !players | p1ls
[09:25] <ubotu> p1ls: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[09:25] <p1ls> !mediaplayers | p1ls
[09:26] <Polygon89> But, then if i go to file > open > DVD, it says the codecs arnt installed. How can they be not installed if it was just playing the DVD?
[09:26] <Znuff> Polygon89, did you try another DVD?
[09:26] <PurpZeY> walkintome: There *might* be some way to repair it...I don't know of it...But, a good play would be to start over with linux...install over windows, that should reload grub....
[09:26] <Jowi> p1ls, there you have a few. I prefer Quod Libet
[09:26] <TheBaker> i could do a script that scans ps output and then saves that somewhere and reads from it when i log back in
[09:26] <Polygon89> Znuff, it does this with like 6 dvd's ive tried.
[09:26] <zoom> j ai besoin du port 53 domain          53/tcp          nameserver      # name-domain server  ou je peux le bloquer ??
[09:26] <roryy> !grub
[09:26] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:26] <heffo> TheBaker, thats fine itl keep all of your windows open no matter how many times you boot into xp
[09:26] <PurpZeY> !grub | walkintome
[09:26] <ubotu> walkintome: please see above
[09:26] <AceRock> Polygon, do you have the multimedia and other codecs insalled (the 'illegal' ones in us)?
[09:26] <heffo> TheBaker,, it just saves all the information onto your swap partition and windows doesnt touch that
[09:26] <ReverseBlade> !fr | zoom

[09:27] <mh_le> anyone here setup a cyrus system?
[09:27] <Polygon89> AceRock, yeah i have the gstreamer ugly and all of those installed.
[09:27] <Znuff> mh_le, cyrus imap?
[09:27] <aLeSD> strange ... beryl use my cpu
[09:27] <PurpZeY> Polygon89: Also libdvd ?
[09:27] <jack_> nobody any idea about remote x11 connections? would it be the same if i asked about telnet? sigh
[09:27] <mh_le> Znuff: yeah
[09:27] <Znuff> aLeSD, indeed strange.
[09:27] <zoom> thanks disregard ;)
[09:27] <AceRock> did you reboot polygon89?
[09:27] <Znuff> mh_le, I've used it a bit, but I try to stay away from it.
[09:27] <mh_le> Znuff: why is that?
[09:27] <Polygon89> PurpZeY, yes they are installed. If you read earlier i said that totem autoplays the dvd when its put in, but without menus. when i try to play it manually it says they are not installed
[09:27] <Znuff> mh_le, it's a huge piece of !@#$!#$

[09:37] <ProN00b> Znuff, did you play any of those engine recreations ?
[09:38] <zootm> Bitmess: Also, do "sudo apt-get update"

[09:39] <iehova> Hi, having a problem installing ubuntu on a friend's PC from the live disk. Basically, when the installer tries to resize the windows NTFS partition, it fails every time.
[09:39] <Sparc42> done, what info?
[09:39] <iehova> Can anyone help?
[09:39] <zaggynl> Anyone knows a tool that can do the as http://www.tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1101848422.png in ubuntu?
[09:39] <zootm> iehova: what does it fail with? You can only resize NTFS partitions so much
[09:39] <aLeSD> iehova ntfs is a problem I think
[09:39] <PurpZeY> iehova: Any sort of info on the failure or anything?
[09:40] <p1ls> after i put the source list and save it whats the command to update it
[09:40] <zootm> zaggynl: I suspect that something like gscreenlets would do that
[09:40] <zootm> is that what it's called?
[09:40] <zaggynl> applets?
[09:40] <zootm> zaggynl: Scratch that, I meant gdesklets
[09:40] <zootm> yeah, guess so
[09:40] <zaggynl> ah
[09:40] <zaggynl> like dock apps
[09:40] <clwalters> How do i delete my trash, i got an error message saying i didnt have enough permissions to delete it
[09:41] <p1ls> after i put the source list and save it whats the command to update it
[09:41] <zaggynl> I was hoping for someting like the gnome applets
[09:41] <crashoverride> i need help upgrading ubuntu, plz
[09:41] <zootm> aye
[09:41] <iehova> I am restarting the computer, but i also tried it with gparted and it failed, even having run the simulation successfully

[09:42] <zaggynl> hrm
[09:42] <crashoverride> can someone help me?
[09:42] <zootm> Bitmess: If you're on Feisty, no. If you upgraded it shoudl have removed them?
[09:42] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: use the davinci virus
[09:42] <r3dbeard> lol
[09:42] <Jowi> zaggynl, forgot that they are not in the official repo. here: http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/screenlets/?q=node/13

[09:43] <vijayra> hey
[09:44] <Sparc42> got that fdisk up. what info do you need?
[09:44] <ipstacks> okay.  Is there data on the cd/dvd you are trying to mount?
[09:44] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, how do I do that?
[09:44] <r3dbeard> thats not dapper
[09:44] <r3dbeard> thats hoary if im not mistaken
[09:44] <Sparc42> no blank so i can record to it.
[09:44] <vijayra> hey, can someone help me with a nvidia 8800 gts graphic problem
[09:44] <datrigg> edugonch: realizing you want to use the 64bit - I had the some problems with 64-bit feisty - downgrade to 32bit and you won't hve the probelms
[09:44] <Sparc42> i can change it
[09:44] <PurpZeY> r3dbeard: You are probably right.
[09:44] <SurfnKid> can you do per folder blocking instead of just per site blocking on Firefox?
[09:44] <Grummus> edugonch, ati closed source drivers are really bad, even on 32 bit
[09:44] <PurpZeY> r3dbeard: In fact, if it's b/w you and me, you are.
[09:44] <ipstacks> Do you see any filesystems in the far right hand list that equates to one of your dvd drives?
[09:45] <edugonch> Yes I know that, is a bad

[09:45] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, I'm using Hoary right now so how do I get dapper?
[09:45] <datrigg> vijayra: you might want to go to #ubuntu-effects
[09:45] <Bitmess> zootm, I pasted it here.   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22614/
[09:45] <vijayra> thanks
[09:45] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: See ubotu
[09:45] <Sparc42> all it lists are /dev/sda 1,2 and 3, which relates to my NTFS, Swap and Linux partitions
[09:45] <Sparc42> nothing else
[09:45] <vijayra> #join #ubuntu-effects
[09:45] <iehova> @zootm; aLeSD; PurpZeY : All the installer says is that there was an error and that the resize operation was aborted.
[09:46] <ipstacks> does that change if you put a known good cd/cvd in the drive?
[09:46] <crashoverride> ok,
[09:46] <PurpZeY> iehova: is it an NTFS partition?
[09:46] <iehova> Yes
[09:46] <iehova> 80 GB
[09:46] <iehova> trying to resize to 40
[09:46] <PurpZeY> iehova: That's why
[09:46] <iehova> It's worked fine on every other computer(?)
[09:46] <zootm> Bitmess: Comment all the lines with "edgy" in them
[09:47] <zootm> Bitmess: Then enable universe by ticking the boxes in Software Sources
[09:47] <Sparc42> nope
[09:47] <zootm> and do "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" at a terminal, and it should upgrade everyhing
[09:47] <clwalters> Can anyone help me emptying my trash?
[09:47] <ipstacks> what are you using k3b?  I am not a KDE user, but k3b is using cdrecord to do the work
[09:47] <Bitmess> zootm, ok. BRB my BBQ is burning
[09:47] <PurpZeY> iehova: You'll have to ask someone else, but I' understand that the install has trouble resizing NTFS partitions
[09:47] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, I got a gnomeUI error message
[09:47] <clwalters> Says i dont have enough permissions
[09:47] <zootm> Bitmess: Hahahaha, well, I gotta go anyway
[09:47] <zootm> Bitmess: But good luck, that's kinda weird!
[09:47] <ipstacks> are they PCI or USB?
[09:47] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, (gedit:12847): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:

[09:47] <ipstacks> your operating system isn't recognizing your hard ware
[09:48] <Sparc42> pci
[09:48] <Polygon89> crashoverride, your using gksudo right? thats been in there since like breezy, i wouldent worry about it
[09:48] <ipstacks> hardware
[09:48] <jburd> "Unable to mount media: There is probably no media in the drive."   The same disc can be read on Windows.  Why is Ubuntu refusing to read it?
[09:48] <Sparc42> they are pCi installed in the box
[09:48] <ipstacks> you can do lspci to see if they are there, but that doesn't mean they will work yet
[09:48] <jburd> PurpZeY, see that's the problem.  It just doesn't mount VCDs.
[09:48] <ipstacks> also you should look through dmesg to see if they came online properly
[09:49] <crashoverride> Polygon89, I'm still using Hoary, v5.04
[09:49] <jack_> roryy: still there?
[09:49] <Znuff> jburd, probably VCD's has a strange FileSystem?
[09:49] <ipstacks> tail -f /var/log/messages
[09:49] <PurpZeY> jburd: I don't know, but there are a lot of people around here that know a lot more than m.
[09:49] <Sparc42> no doesnt seem they are when I did lspci
[09:49] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, where can I dl nano or vi?
[09:49] <roryy> jack_: yip
[09:49] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: sudo apt-get install nano
[09:49] <Polygon89> crashoverride, its an outstanding bug in gksudo, its not even fixed in feisty yet so i still wouldent worry about it
[09:49] <ipstacks> that will show you what the system sees when you have an event occur
[09:50] <Sparc42> yes long list!
[09:50] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: But Polygon90 is telling you not to worry about that issue.
[09:50] <jack_> roryy: i'll msg you if you dont mind
[09:50] <ipstacks> Sparc64: this is what I think.  You have a hardware failure or miss configuration
[09:50] <roryy> jack_: sure
[09:50] <jburd> Znuff, how strange?  I need VCDs to work on Ubuntu and that's not something I can tell people while evangelizing for Ubuntu.
[09:50] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, I know, thats y I asked about dl'ing nano
[09:50] <Sparc42> new hardware, unless its on the MB
[09:50] <Siph0n> hey how can i see if my kernal is preemptive or not? and how can i change it? :)
[09:51] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: Got it. sudo apt-get install nano
[09:51] <Sparc42> some read is happening b/c it puts an icon on the desktop
[09:51] <ipstacks> Well it could be the jumpers for master/slave or wrong
[09:51] <Sparc42> ok
[09:51] <Bitmess> zootm, thanks for ur help
[09:51] <ipstacks> it could be a cable isn;t seated
[09:51] <dekc> hi can anyone help me with amule?
[09:51] <PurpZeY> !ask | dekc
[09:51] <ubotu> dekc: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:51] <roryy> jack_: hrm. if you're msg'ing me, i'm not getting anything. are you registered here at freenode?
[09:51] <zootm> Bitmess: No problem. It looks like it's just the universe repos that are on edgy, so fix them and upgrade everything and you should be sorted
[09:51] <dekc> ok
[09:51] <Sparc42> thank you ipstacks. i'm going to play w/ the hardware and make sure things are seated
[09:52] <ipstacks> If you have a cable that has different color connectors
[09:52] <Bitmess> zootm,  thanks!
[09:52] <Jowi> jburd, I found this explanation: http://www.mpegtv.com/faq.html#vcdtech
[09:52] <dekc> i've installed amule open the ports on router but still have low id
[09:52] <ipstacks> you can set the hardware to cable select (cs)
[09:52] <aLeSD> ok ... i leave beryl
[09:52] <zaggynl> Jowi, how do I use screenlets? is there a gui tool for it?
[09:52] <PurpZeY> !info amule
[09:52] <ubotu> amule: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.3-1ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 1266 kB, installed size 3452 kB
[09:53] <ipstacks> AMULE rocks
[09:53] <jburd> ok so i cannot view vcds on linux?
[09:53] <Jowi> zaggynl, yes. "screenets-tray" will put an icon in your notification/tray that has all the settings.
[09:53] <PurpZeY> ipstacks: dekc is having some trouble with it.
[09:53] <illriginal> #beryl
[09:53] <zaggynl> Jowi, thanks
[09:53] <ipstacks> dekc  what is the problem
[09:53] <dekc> i've got low id
[09:54] <ipstacks> this is the issue
[09:54] <Znuff> dekc, then it's not a aMule problem ;)
[09:54] <ipstacks> AMULE in preferences, TCP connections has some ports defined
[09:54] <dekc> yeah i know
[09:54] <PurpZeY> jburd: From what I read there, it is possible, you have to make sure the app you are using will use the proper protocol for reading the disk.
[09:54] <dekc> i've alredy open on my NAT configuration
[09:54] <ipstacks> okay, you need to let the Internet see those ports
[09:55] <p1ls> is there a way to add to my ubuntu 7.04 kde ?
[09:55] <ipstacks> if you keep getting a low ID, you did something wrong.
[09:55] <ipstacks> are you running a firewall on your PC
[09:55] <PurpZeY> p1ls: I believe it is possible yes.
[09:55] <Jowi> jburd, from what I understand, only certain VCD discs fail. most should work.
[09:55] <dekc> no i only have a router
[09:56] <p1ls> any idea how to do it
[09:56] <dekc> how can i know if kubuntu has a  firewall running?
[09:56] <PurpZeY> p1ls: One sec, yes, I think I do.
[09:56] <ohma1> Ok I have an issue hopefully someone can help sort out.. I installed 7.04 x86_64 just now, and I resized my ntfs partition, leaving ~20% for ubuntu... now when I try to access my windows partition it just says starting... and freezes there
[09:56] <petafile> I'm having some ndiswrapper problems.  I tried to use the windows wireless drivers admin thing, and I added a driver, but it won't let me remove it.  ANy ideas?
[09:56] <ipstacks> if you keep getting a low ID it is because the amule client isn't getting talked back too from the P2P network
[09:56] <ohma1> can someone please help?
[09:56] <abdelrahman> how can i fix the sound on my mother board
[09:56] <ipstacks> try opening ping to your machine and the ping it from the internet
[09:57] <dekc> but can i know if a firewall is running on kubuntu
[09:57] <ipstacks> sorry I didn't see your question
[09:57] <abdelrahman> there is no sound, i installed linux on a diffrent mother board then got it on this...
[09:57] <ipstacks> I have to think I am not a KDE user
[09:57] <jburd> jowi, that's disappointing. =(
[09:57] <ipstacks> uuuhh you go settings from the menu
[09:57] <ohma1> ipstacks:  do you think you can help me?
[09:57] <petafile> okay, so windows wireless drivers opens the screen then dies, any idea why?
[09:58] <ipstacks> then there is a search box you can type firewall in I believe
[09:58] <macogw> Znuff: found out the problem.  comcast's modems think too hard. you have to powercycle and then reboot to make them use the other computer.
[09:58] <ipstacks> dekc I wish I had a KDE box in front of me
[09:59] <PurpZeY> p1ls: Sorry, I don't know...I thought it was in a book I had....but either way, I don't think it should be too hard.
[09:59] <p1ls> kk
[09:59] <ohma1> Ok I have an issue hopefully someone can help sort out.. I installed 7.04 x86_64 just now, and I resized my ntfs partition, leaving ~20% for ubuntu... now when I try to access my windows partition it just says starting... and freezes there         any help would be seriously appreciated right about now
[09:59] <ipstacks> ps aux | grep <what-u-search-4-here> will show you processes running, but I don't know the name of your firewall process
[09:59] <dekc> that's ok i search right away, the problem is that i have kubuntu in italian :)
[10:01] <Znuff> macogw, exactly. MAC access :)
[10:01] <PurpZeY> Does Fiesty install have a problem resizing ntfs partitions?
[10:01] <Znuff> PurpZeY, nope
[10:01] <Znuff> it will take some time, but it works
[10:01] <PriceChild> PurpZeY, defrag them first
[10:02] <ortega10> i switched from totem-gstreamer to totem-xine (because i had some problems), and now the screen will turn off after 10 minutes, even when totem is running (that didn't happen before with gstreamer)... any way i can fix that?
[10:02] <PurpZeY> Znuff: I was just curious. . .I don't actually have an issue with it....
[10:02] <Sokhar> why is xchat auto connecting to this server and asking me to run the application again when i add a new one ;/
[10:02] <aLeSD> wow ... beryl slows a lot the system
[10:02] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, its telling me that I'm not the owner so how can I fix it so I can modify files?
[10:02] <PurpZeY> ortega10: I know that vlc has an option to prevent screensaver or screen from going blank.
[10:02] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: use sudo
[10:02] <ortega10> aLeSD: maybe you don't have any hardware acceleration configured
[10:02] <aLeSD> I was scared that ubuntu was slow ... but it goes faster without 3d
[10:03] <aLeSD> I have nvidia driver
[10:03] <aLeSD> the proprietary ones
[10:03] <ipstacks> I haven't seen beryl cause slowness isses
[10:03] <ortega10> PurpZeY: but totem doesn't... i'll try configuring vlc, maybe it'll pick it up
[10:03] <ipstacks> issues
[10:03] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, I can't edit the file that way
[10:03] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: why not?
[10:03] <Sparc42> hi Ipstacks.  funny can use it to burn CDR not DVDR
[10:03] <jack-> roryy: you gone? ..
[10:04] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, don't know how
[10:04] <ipstacks> interesting
[10:04] <roryy> jack-: nope, i'm still around
[10:04] <Sparc42> appears I've got some screwed up setting
[10:04] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: what file you trying to edit?
[10:04] <aLeSD> but nvidia driver has a bad bug ... maybe ubuntu has 3d configurated to bypass the bug using the cpu
[10:04] <Sparc42> any way to debug?
[10:04] <kritzstapf> aLeSD: its just fast as i like it for months :)
[10:04] <mh_le> when I try to log in to the commandline cyradm I get this error...
[10:04] <cosme> hey do you guys know of any successful ubuntu installs on compaq PC's?
[10:04] <mh_le>               Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119
[10:04] <mh_le> cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with login as cyrus
[10:04] <ipstacks> I have to think about that a minute
[10:04] <kitche> cosme: which compaq the newer ones of the older
[10:04] <Sparc42> np
[10:04] <cosme> newer ones
 ok :)
[10:04] <PurpZeY> cosme: It should install on any PC...The real issue is to make sure your hardware is compatible before you install.
[10:05] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, sources.list
[10:05] <kitche> cosme: probably since compaqs are setup just like HP nows with their bios setup :)
[10:05] <n3n9> i need help with modprobe not auto starting ndiswrapper on boot. Thanks.
[10:05] <ipstacks> does k3b recognize a dvd when you put it in the drive?
[10:05] <kitche> cosme: that's why I asked if you had an older one
[10:05] <cosme> ohh ok i intsalled ubuntu on my new emachine but i have a new compaq and it just keeps rebooting when i try to intsall
[10:05] <Sparc42> no it says to insert one
[10:05] <kitche> cosme: might want to try the alternate cd
[10:05] <ortega10> i switched from totem-gstreamer to totem-xine (because i had some problems), and now the screen will turn off after 10 minutes, even when totem is running (that didn't happen before with gstreamer)... any way i can fix that ?
[10:05] <Sh3r1ff_> n3n9: add the line ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
[10:06] <cosme> whats the alternate cd
[10:06] <ipstacks> So you can burn CDRs and the drive won't even recognize DVDs
[10:06] <phazeman> hi people. does anybody running ubuntu on intel 82954G express chipset (vonboard video) ?
[10:06] <ipstacks> even ones that are already burned (premade)
[10:06] <Sparc42> yes and its a brand new dvd r
[10:06] <kbrooks>  how do i put ff cache on a ramdisk?
[10:06] <n3n9> sheriff: i did "modprobe ndiswrapper". does that do what you said?
[10:06] <ipstacks> what is the brand and model please?
[10:06] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, how do I edit sources.list with terminal?
[10:07] <Sh3r1ff_> n3n9: yes, but only until nex reboot, do what i said to make it permanent
[10:07] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: sudo nano
[10:07] <ipstacks> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:07] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, ya, but what do I do to edit it?
[10:07] <n3n9> sheriff: dumb question... i should just add it at the bottom of the file?
[10:07] <thezenmaster> I messed up my sound drivers... How do I remove ALSA and reinstall it?
[10:07] <Sparc42> will play prerecorded discs.
[10:07] <Sparc42> it is a lightscribe
[10:07] <ipstacks> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:07] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: It will open..then change whatever you have to, save changes...etc.
[10:07] <Sh3r1ff_> n3n9: yes, that will work
[10:07] <flyertanks> so tem ingles agora
[10:08] <PurpZeY> crashoverride: I'm not sure what you mean beyond that.
[10:08] <n3n9> ok thanks, if you dont see me back here, means life is good.. and many thanks

[10:08] <aricz> Hi, anyone here experienced with Ncurses? I get some problems when I'm playing textbased games (roguelikes to be specific) .. first of all, it shows color8 as BLACK (It's supposed to be dark gray).. 2. There's a delay on ESC-key 3. Numpad doesn't work either.. Ok, perhaps the 1. problem has to do with Ncurses.. anyone know what I might do to fix this?
[10:08] <PurpZeY> Ok, I am a moron who doesn't understand other languages besides english.

[10:10] <PurpZeY> CCmonster: sudo apt-get install ies4linus
[10:11] <kbrooks> PurpZeY: not in the repos
[10:11] <kbrooks> !ies4linux

[10:11] <PurpZeY> CCmonster: I made that up.
[10:11] <p1ls> anyone knows how can you edit menu in icwm?
[10:11] <CCmonster> lol
[10:11] <PurpZeY> kbrooks: See, this is what happens, I try to help and look like a fool...I think I occasionally learn something.
[10:11] <macogw> kbrooks: does ubotu need to be updated?  it does 5.0, 5.5, 6, and 7 now, doesn't it? or is 7 still part of the beta version?
[10:11] <ipstacks> kbrooks: mkinitrd
[10:12] <kbrooks> ipstacks: nope
[10:12] <ArneOlav> kbrooks, it's easy add this in your fstab "none /ramdisk tmpfs defaults 0 0"
[10:12] <gcbdm> What's the best way to install ndiswrapper in the live CD?
[10:12] <kbrooks> ArneOlav: what about mount in your directory?
[10:12] <wij32> hey, what number after chmod do i need to make other users not be able to access each others folder in /home/ ?
[10:12] <cosme> does anyone know hot to get wmp streams working? - i installed g-stream / vlc / mplay - but nothing seams to make them work - i see a connection messege but thats it
[10:12] <crashoverride> PurpZeY, how do I save  from nano?
[10:12] <macogw> crashoverride: dude, nano tells you how
[10:12] <Sparc42> LOL. no one is seeding the torrent.
[10:12] <Bitmess> Would someone with feisty paste their sources.list or direct me somewhere where I can look at a correct one? please.
[10:12] <kitche> crashoverride: ctrl+O ^ means ctrl
[10:12] <macogw> crashoverride: it says at the bottom of the thing "this does that, this button does that..."

[10:13] <ubotu> Bitmess: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[10:13] <foofoobarbar> uhm..  whats the name of that program that installs difficult packages.. mp3/dvd/codecs/drivers and stuff?
[10:13] <kitche> wij32: it's setup liek that by default
[10:13] <PriceChild> foofoobarbar, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:13] <Bitmess> PriceChild, thanks!
[10:13] <ipstacks> Sparc42: I am not sure that will fix the issue you are having.  I think you might have a driver issue.
[10:13] <wij32> yeah but i cnaged one by accident
[10:13] <wij32> kitche: i changed one by accident.
[10:13] <kitche> wij32: look at the other permissions then
[10:13] <crdlb> wij32, the last number should be 0
[10:13] <Sparc42> I think you're right.  looking for another torrent
[10:14] <aricz> Hi, anyone have any experience with Ncurses? I have some problems with textbased games.. anyone?:|
[10:14] <wij32> chmod 500 *
[10:14] <macogw> wij32: there's 3 digits. the first is for owner, the 2nd for your group, 3rd for everyone else.  if you want them to read 4, if you want write 2, and for executable, 1.  if you want all three, add them up and its a 7.  so you might want 600 or 700
[10:14] <p1ls> anyone knows how can you edit menu in icwm?
[10:14] <crashoverride> macogw, that doesn't help me none
[10:14] <wij32> thanks
[10:14] <ipstacks> I know that k3b uses cdrecord to do the actual burning.  You might try to see if you can get cdrecord to recognize//mount a dvd
[10:15] <ipstacks> cdrecord is a command line tool
[10:15] <macogw> crashoverride: see where it says "write out?"
[10:15] <Znuff> back here :)
[10:15] <crashoverride> macogw, ya
[10:15] <macogw> crashoverride: that's save
[10:16] <crashoverride> macogw, how do I get it to work tho?
[10:16] <macogw> crashoverride: and like someone said earlier, ^ means ctrl
[10:16] <mym> hi all
[10:16] <macogw> crashoverride: so ^O means ctrl+o
[10:16] <heffo> hi
[10:16] <Sparc42> interesting... looks for /dev/cdrw
[10:17] <Sparc42> er found it
[10:17] <Sparc42> rather
[10:17] <crashoverride> macogw, I did ^G and it didn't do anyhting
[10:17] <kbrooks> now...
[10:17] <macogw> crashoverride: O, not G
[10:17] <mym> please, I cannot see Windows shared dirs when I use wifi (NetworkManager, Edgy Eft), but I can see them when I'm wired, does someone could help me ?
[10:17] <dekc> how can i install my nvidia geforce MX 4000?
[10:18] <ipstacks> dekc have you looked at getautomatix.com
[10:18] <PriceChild> !automatix | ipstacks
[10:18] <ubotu> ipstacks: Automatix2 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
[10:18] <crashoverride> macogw, I did both and nothing happends
[10:18] <PriceChild> dekc, the restricted manager should work fine for the mx 4000
[10:18] <kbrooks> ok
[10:18] <dekc> already got automatix
[10:18] <kbrooks> i created my ramdisk :P
[10:18] <macogw> crashoverride: it saves, but it doesnt like..show anything when it's done
[10:19] <illriginal> Can someone help me mount my slave drive? It's ext partitioned, just did a fresh install of Feisty
[10:19] <macogw> crashoverride: it might ask what filename to save it as
[10:19] <dekc> when i try to run it it says to digit the password
[10:19] <kbrooks> now to figure out how to point ffox to it...
[10:19] <macogw> crashoverride: itll ask that at the bottom
[10:19] <crdlb> dekc, don't use automatix
[10:19] <ipstacks> I haven't had a problem with it, but I won't recommend it anymore
[10:19] <dekc> the comes out "close adept first"
[10:19] <Tehkain> Anyone know why I cannot get back to my gui after pressing ctrl+alt+f1 to get to command line then when I press alt_f7 I get a black screen with a  cursor.
[10:19] <macogw> crashoverride: why use nano anyway?  you can also use "gedit filename" and a regular visual editor will come up, or if you use kde "kate filename"
[10:19] <ipstacks> yes
[10:19] <crdlb> Tehkain, nvidia?
[10:20] <Tehkain> Yea
[10:20] <zinuz> With what can i mount image files? Thanks!
[10:20] <p1ls> Problem: before upgrading i had ubuntu 6.10 and now i upgraded, restarted, the grub turned on and it shows me 3 times linux-gerneric, 3 times linux-safe mode
[10:20] <crdlb> Tehkain, using compiz/beryl?
[10:20] <p1ls> can i delete so it will be 1 each?
[10:20] <ipstacks> Tehkain: press crtl alt f7
[10:20] <mjr> zinuz, sudo mount -o loop image.iso dir
[10:20] <Tehkain> crdlb, aye
[10:20] <crdlb> ipstacks, alt+f7 works from the console
[10:20] <kbrooks> zinuz: also,
[10:20] <macogw> crashoverride: unless you're stuck without X, in which case, i guess nano makes sense as you probably don't want to try to figure out vim's keyboard tricks
[10:20] <illriginal> Can someone help me mount my slave drive? It's ext partitioned, just did a fresh install of Feisty
[10:20] <kbrooks> !info gisomount | zinuz

[10:21] <johan> i need to mount a usb device but i cant find which /dev  it is
[10:21] <illriginal> SDA
[10:21] <johan> its not /dev/sda1
[10:21] <kbrooks> zinuz: you can use synaptic or prolly add/remove
[10:21] <macogw> illriginal: try "sudo mkdir /mounted" then "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mounted"
[10:21] <PriceChild> wereHamster, packages.ubuntu.com is your friend
[10:21] <illriginal> OK
[10:21] <kitche> Adam: /usr/share/samba is what the samba package isntalls as an example pretty much the system only looks at the one in /etc/samba/
[10:21] <Sergo-Ubuntu> i'm looking for an ubuntu wallpaper who can help me to find it
[10:21] <macogw> illriginal: idk what your slave shows as in /dev, but guessing since it's the second disk
[10:22] <zinuz> ext3 or xfs for /home and / ?
[10:22] <sswitching> johan: does the usb work at all? when you plug it in, you should be able to see some kind of kernel msg dump
[10:22] <Znuff> Sergo-Ubuntu, www.ubuntu-look.org
[10:22] <macogw> illriginal: the one i said would mount then first partition of the second-recognized disk

[10:22] <carlos> how to capture video from a usb dv camera?
[10:22] <pabl0> hi

[10:22] <kitche> Adam: that wasn't Sergo-Ubuntu that told you that that was me :)_
[10:22] <aLeSD> how can I paly a dvd from a different region ?
[10:22] <pabl0> is tthere a way to know if my HD is SATA or SATA2 without opening my Desktop? :-)
[10:23] <macogw> crashoverride: all i can figure is maybe it's not recognizing your ctrl key
[10:23] <crashoverride> macogw, what do you mean x?
[10:23] <cb_> hi
[10:23] <sswitching> then, just type in to your terminal: ls /dev/sd[hit tab key twice]
[10:23] <macogw> crashoverride: can you point and click on things?

[10:23] <carlos> how to capture video from a usb dv camera?
[10:23] <sswitching> it'll come up if its there.
[10:23] <crdlb> aLeSD, afaik that's a hardware thing
[10:23] <crashoverride> macogw, ya
[10:23] <aLeSD> ah that's the problem ... which is the name of the decripting library ?
[10:23] <crdlb> you'd need an unlocked dvd drive
[10:23] <carlos> how to capture video from a usb dv camera?
[10:23] <aLeSD> DVDjohn help me!
[10:23] <uberushaximus> carlos, ever heard of kino?
[10:23] <macogw> crashoverride: are you using gnome or kde?
[10:23] <illriginal> macogw: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[10:23] <crashoverride> macogw, gnome
[10:24] <carlos> yes but i cant configure my camera... is it posible to use kino with usb?
[10:24] <macogw> crashoverride: sudo gedit <filename>
[10:24] <[ha] cheesy2> Was there any change in fiesty in relation with RAID support ? (i dist upgraded and now my system won't boot so i try to get rid of the problems one by one...)
[10:24] <macogw> illriginal: ok that means we have to figure out what your hard drive is being called
[10:24] <johan> sda1->4 is my HD, i cant find what dev my usb would be any way to find out
[10:24] <carlos> i think is for 1394 only...
[10:24] <bob301> aLeSD: You need to change the region your DVD-ROM is set to. Most DVD-ROMs let you change this twice. You should use google with the DVD-ROM drive name and they keywords 'region select'
[10:24] <illriginal> oh sweet  it's mounted
[10:24] <lucif3r> johan: see if lsusb gives any hints
[10:24] <macogw> illriginal: can you do "ls /dev" and see whats there
[10:24] <aLeSD> bob301 I think here you can bypass that protection
[10:25] <macogw> illriginal: oh you figured out what device it is?
[10:25] <p1ls> Problem: before upgrading i had ubuntu 6.10 and now i upgraded, restarted, the grub turned on and it shows me 3 times linux-gerneric, 3 times linux-safe mode
[10:25] <illriginal> yep
[10:25] <lucif3r> if it aint there, you're screwed :}
[10:25] <carlos> how to configure kino with usb dv camera??
[10:25] <macogw> illriginal: ok then
[10:25] <illriginal> macogw i have a question
[10:25] <p1ls> how can i fix it to have one each
[10:25] <macogw> illriginal: yeah?
[10:25] <Tehkain> crdlb, Thanks for the clue. I found a solution. Sync to vblank in beryl being on is the issue.
[10:25] <illriginal> when I went to open the folder to my slave drive, it asked for my password
[10:25] <bob301> aLeSD: I believe you need to set it to region 0, to play all regions
[10:25] <johan> the device gets properly detected but no hint on where it could be
[10:25] <illriginal> is there anyway that i can open it without any problems
[10:25] <macogw> illriginal: where is it mounted?
[10:25] <illriginal> and able to read/write on it
[10:25] <macogw> illriginal: it's probably root-owned
[10:25] <illriginal> hold on
[10:26] <aLeSD> what is the name of the package with the decriptin algoritm for the DVD ?
[10:26] <wereHamster> PriceChild, thanks. Though it's sad to find out that ubuntu doesn't provide 32bit develompent libraries on amd64 :(
[10:26] <macogw> illriginal: sudo chown -R <yourusername>|<yourusername> <mountpoint>
[10:26] <carlos> how to configure kino with usb dv camera??
[10:27] <illriginal> ok hold on macogw
[10:27] <wereHamster> .. and not even 32bit libXv.so :(
[10:27] <bob301> libdvdcss2
[10:27] <illriginal> lol how do i check the mount point macogw?
[10:28] <macogw> illriginal: you said it's mounted.  what folder is it mounted at?
[10:28] <bob301> aLeSD: Have you tried the regionset package to change to region 0?
[10:28] <ror> check mtab or fstab
[10:28] <macogw> illriginal: "mountpoint" just means wherever you put it when you mounted it
[10:28] <illriginal> i simply click on places, my computer, then i see my 80gb slave drive
[10:28] <soo> hihi
[10:29] <soo> hihi
[10:30] <limbeaux> i am trying to build an amorak collection.  What is a good rip program so i can listen to my cds?
[10:30] <macogw> illriginal: if you click it and give it your password it opens up the drive right?  click the < arrow on the top left (right above where it shows what's in the drive), then click the little pencil
[10:30] <deefzi> should i choose cedega or wine? and what are the main differences between these 2 apps?
[10:30] <macogw> limbeaux: soundjuicer comes with ubuntu
[10:30] <limbeaux> i have tried soundjuice, but it only encodes at 128kb and grip put "__" for blank spaces
[10:30] <bob301> limbeaux: you may want to check out this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[10:30] <illriginal> macogw: /media/disk
[10:30] <crdlb> limbeaux, it's configurable
[10:31] <macogw> deefzi: cedega is aimed at games and is $5/mo. wine is free but does a bit less
[10:31] <macogw> illriginal: cd /media
[10:31] <macogw> illriginal: then ls -l
[10:31] <bob301> limbeaux the page I linked shows how you can change the bitrate
[10:31] <macogw> illriginal: those are both lowercase L's
[10:32] <deefzi> macogw, then i'll have to go with cedega since i have vmware running native windows for other software
[10:32] <illriginal> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
[10:32] <superkirbyartist> Hey guys, I have Kubuntu installed on my iMac, but I would like OS 9 as well.  Can anyone help, please?
[10:32] <macogw> deefzi: make sure you check cedega's "known working" list and be sure your game is listed
[10:32] <zaggynl> Anyone knows any howto's on making gnome-applets?
[10:32] <limbeaux> thanks!!
[10:32] <Siph0n> anyone know if CONFIG_PREEMPT is defined in some include file? and what include file?
[10:32] <GomoX> Hey guys
[10:33] <GomoX> Is there a non-wget-and-sh way of installing the nvidia 9755 drivers?
[10:33] <limbeaux> is there a link like that for ripping my dvd collection?
[10:33] <TinoW> hey, how do I disable modules from automatically loaded at start?
[10:33] <GomoX> TinoW: modconf
[10:33] <crdlb> GomoX, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[10:33] <macogw> illriginal: i have to log off because i'm dist upgrading, but if that doesnt do it, then also do "sudo chmod -R 774 /media/disk"
[10:33] <Arisance> Anyone have success getting a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR to work with XDTV?
[10:33] <bob301> GoMox: have you tried automatix?
[10:33] <b0lland_> Hi #ubuntu-help, I have a well working ubuntu installation, 7.04, but when I logged out 5 minutes ago my computer seemed to freeze, and I had to cut the power and restart it. Now when I'm back in xwindows my sound isn't working, for instance xmms says "could not open audio". How do I begin to debug this?
[10:33] <Cryoniq> Problem: I am trying to connect to my netdisk with smb server in with command: sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/Lightning /home/public/data/videos/netstorage/ -o username=<removed>,password=<removed>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, But it only sends me back:
[10:33] <Cryoniq> 10873: tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
[10:33] <Cryoniq> SMB connection failed. What is it I am doing that is wrong? I can connect via ubuntu filemanager just fine via smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/Lightning
[10:33] <GomoX> crdlb: did you just help me before on #beryl?
[10:34] <illriginal> sweet ok
[10:34] <crdlb> !automatix | bob301
[10:34] <ubotu> bob301: Automatix2 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
[10:34] <GomoX> bob301: o_O why would i do that?
[10:34] <keifer> on macintel, do I need bootcamp for anything other than resizing partitions? (bootcamp is trial software, weary of expiration dates)
[10:34] <illriginal> good luck on your installation
[10:34] <GomoX> there, ubotu agrees with me
[10:34] <erdinger> !WorksForMe
[10:34] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). 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.
[10:34] <erdinger> lol
[10:35] <TinoW> GomoX: no manfile for modconf
[10:35] <carlos> how to configure kino with usb dv camera??\
[10:35] <bob301> interesting, I've heard (and myself had) nothing but good experiences with automatix. I'll leave off suggesting it int he future
[10:35] <illriginal> Hey when I click properties and then click permissions, it says owner: unknown
[10:35] <GomoX> TinoW: most likely apt-get install modconf but that is the debian way, I am no really sure if ubuntu likes modconf
[10:35] <illriginal> how do i get it to recognize that im the owner?
[10:35] <GomoX> bob301: automatix was born as a bad idea
[10:36] <GomoX> brb
[10:36] <TinoW> GomoX: ah yeah, ok. I was thinking it would be something basic :-)

[10:38] <rasczak> Anyone have any ideas what could have caused my sound to suddenly stop working?  Yesterday was working, went to lunch, came back and no sound for any programs.  The speakers work, and I checked the volume is up and not muted
[10:38] <Dice> anybody know how to bridge etho and eth1 feisty
[10:38] <TinoW> ah, for the reference - we just edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist now. That was simple
[10:38] <illriginal> I have a question, when i right click, click on properties, and click on permissions, it reads "owner: unknown. How do I get my machine to recognize me as the user
[10:39] <adam83rn> is it possible to use mailx to get pop3 mail
[10:39] <adam83rn> ?
[10:39] <erdinger> rasczak: see "alsamixer" to make sure everything is up
[10:39] <paintcan> Anyone ever have a problem with sound not working thats streaming online?
[10:39] <rasczak> erdinger: how do I bring that up?
[10:39] <PurpZeY> Is there a way to view my entire buddylist on gaim, including offline?
[10:39] <mh_le> I'm not able to log into the cyradm utility as the cyrus user.. could anyone help me with this?
[10:39] <paintcan> I can play music in banshee but it wont play streaming things
[10:39] <dcordes> rasczak: start a terminal and type in alsamixer
[10:40] <zinuz> How to mount an .img image?
[10:40] <rasczak> ok, just found it, everything looks good
[10:40] <paintcan> who are you talking to rasczak
[10:40] <rasczak> sorry
[10:40] <TinoW> zinuz: -o loop
[10:40] <Gux> i have some extrmely basic questions about ubuntu, there anyone i can pm or should i just start blabbing?
[10:40] <TinoW> Gux: the latter
[10:40] <FTMunch> ne1 know if i can change the GRUB to set xp load auto and ubuntu only if i select it?
[10:41] <[ha] cheesy2> zinuz, have you tried :   sudo mount -o loop,ro -t isoo9660 imagename.img /media/ISO
[10:41] <rasczak> Gux start blapping
[10:41] <[ha] cheesy2> oops.. that should be -t iso9660 with one o, not oo.
[10:41] <illriginal> I have a question, when i right click, click on properties, and click on permissions, it reads "owner: unknown". How do I get my machine to recognize me as the user
[10:41] <TinoW> FTMunch: yes, in menu.lst
[10:41] <Gux> question: is the built in word processor,calendaring etc compatible with word doc, excel, pst files?
[10:41] <kmag> So the latest Ubuntu AMD64 CD that boots on my machine is Dapper
[10:41] <kmag> (LTS)
[10:42] <TinoW> [ha] cheesy2: the -t iso9660 is probably superfluos because iso9660 is even the default fs
 cheers
[10:42] <kmag> Any tips for debugging this?  Any tips for dist-upgrading from Dapper to Feisty or Gutsy?
[10:42] <mh_le> Gux: OpenOffice.org
[10:42] <crdlb> Gux, for the most part yes openoffice supports ms office formats
[10:42] <keifer> Gux: Openoffice is decent, but there will be times when microsoft office may be needed.
[10:42] <Gux> openoffice is whats included?
[10:42] <dcordes> !upgrade | kmag
[10:42] <ubotu> kmag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:42] <Znuff> Gux, sudo apt-get install openoffice
[10:42] <crdlb> yes
[10:42] <rasczak> erdinger I brought up alsamixer in the terminal, looks different than the gui version, master is in red text - that bad?
[10:43] <Gux> question: does ubuntu have a windows emulator or any means to port windows applications over, such as wine?\
[10:43] <tstaerk> Gux: yes, wine.
[10:43] <CheshireViking> !Wine > Gux
[10:43] <Znuff> Gux, sudo apt-get install wine
[10:43] <kmag> dcordes: but I'd rather not run backports, and there are some dm_crypt bugs, etc.
[10:43] <Gux> that easy, hey znuff?
[10:43] <dcordes> rasczak: no that says nothing. On some systems not everything is shown in the volume-manager so i wanted to make sure everything is ok
[10:44] <Znuff> Gux, yes
[10:44] <rasczak> dcordes: not sure what I should be looking for in the terminal version of alsamixer
[10:44] <tstaerk> how do I change my keyboard layout ?
[10:44] <Gux> question: how easy is it with hardware? is there a HAL list like microsoft, or is everything generic, what?
[10:44] <Znuff> there are abstration layers in linux, yes.
[10:44] <alex_mayorga> how do I safely/cleanly remove old kernels from my GRUB and hard drive?
[10:45] <keifer> anyone here on a mac-intel?
[10:45] <Znuff> alex_mayorga, apt-get remove them
[10:45] <Gux> the same type of kernel editing like ive seen in freebsd as well?
[10:45] <Znuff> Gux, not familiar with freebsd
[10:45] <Gux> im approaching this from a "replace office networks because vista is scary" perspective
[10:45] <alex_mayorga> Znuff, can I purge withouth specifying every one?
[10:45] <illriginal> I have a question, when i right click, click on properties, and click on permissions, it reads "owner: unknown". How do I get my machine to recognize me as the user
[10:45] <Grummus> Gux, wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, so you will have the same hardware in wine as linux, it just maps the api calls
[10:45] <Znuff> alex_mayorga, uhm, nope
[10:46] <Znuff> illovae, chown'em
[10:46] <Dice> anybody know how to bridge in feisty
[10:46] <Grummus> Gux, wine is still beta though
[10:46] <p1ls> Problem: before upgrading i had ubuntu 6.10 and now i upgraded, restarted, the grub turned on and it shows me 3 times linux-gerneric, 3 times linux-safe mode
[10:46] <Gux> so in other words, each app probably needs tweaking to get it to work properly?
[10:46] <p1ls> how can i fix it to have one each
[10:46] <rasczak> dcordes: anything else I should look at?
[10:46] <alex_mayorga> tstaerk, System -> Preferences -> keyboard
[10:46] <HYPOCRISY> sup
[10:46] <Grummus> Gux, a bit maybe yes
[10:46] <aricz> Do anyone know how to change the default colors in Ncurses?
[10:46] <dcordes> rasczak: sorry but I don't know much about sound issues
[10:46] <Grummus> Gux, check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for the app(s) you want to run
[10:47] <Gux> that list unabridged?
[10:47] <Znuff> Most windows apps will work.
[10:47] <Znuff> Don't count on games, tough.
[10:47] <tstaerk> aleX-xx: thanks
[10:48] <Znuff> Gux, if you want something commercial, I suggest Crossover. But to be honest, some programs run slower/stranger with Crossover than with WINE
[10:48] <marshall> hey guys, how do you stop firefox from asking you to restore tabs from a previous session again?
[10:48] <Gux> there is proprietary software that some offices use that im sure isnt on that list, old dos based stuff with firefox databases kinda stuff
[10:48] <heffo> marshall, doesnt it only do that when it crashes?
[10:48] <Gux> does wine also emulate things like ODBC?
[10:48] <bronze> marshall: look under extensions, session saver , preferences
[10:48] <Gux> er..allow for it
[10:49] <Unshift> how do i get all the things needed to compile from source?
[10:49] <Znuff> Gux, not sure, but I don't think so.
[10:49] <alex_mayorga> tstaerk, no problem
[10:49] <kmag> Gux: do you mean FoxPro ?
[10:49] <Gux> er...
[10:49] <Gux> ya
[10:49] <Gux> foxpro
[10:49] <Gux> sorry
[10:49] <dcordes> Gux: the appdb is all knowing!
[10:49] <IdleOne> !build-essential | Unshift
[10:49] <ubotu> Unshift: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:49] <bronze> unshift to compile what, or which ?
[10:49] <marshall> heffo, yes
[10:49] <homanj> Unshift: what application
[10:49] <Grummus> last time i check crossover is only a precompiled version of wine for which you can call in for support, but if you want to support the wine project buy crossover they sponsor a lot of it
[10:49] <PurpZeY> Will all standard FireFox extensions work in Ubuntu?
[10:49] <marshall> bronze, i dont have that extension, is there any way to disable it without an extension?
[10:49] <Siph0n> to make my kernal not preemptive, can i just comment out the "#define CONFIG_PREEMPT 1" line in autoconf.h ? :)
[10:49] <CheshireViking> Gux, for more detailed info on wine, you might be better joining #winehq
[10:50] <Znuff> PurpZeY, yes
[10:50] <homanj> PurpZeY: i would assume so.
[10:50] <heffo> marshall, try looking through edit>preferences if there isnt anything there then you prbably cant easily. does it crash often for you?
[10:50] <Gux> last question: can I install it via floppy? Im fresh outta cd's
[10:50] <PurpZeY> It was worth asking. . .
[10:50] <Znuff> Gux, nope, there's no netinstall yet for ubuntu
[10:50] <homanj> PurpZeY: it's dependent on FF version, not OS
[10:50] <Dice> bridge in feisty , anyone got a tips plz pm-me
[10:50] <Znuff> Gux, but, are you running windows on the machine right now?
[10:50] <kitche> Znuff: actually there is
[10:50] <Gux> CD is the only way hey?
[10:50] <PurpZeY> homanj: You sure?
[10:50] <illriginal> I have a question, when i right click, click on properties, and click on permissions, it reads "owner: unknown". How do I get my machine to recognize me as the user
[10:50] <bronze> marshall do you have some extension that saves your session?
[10:50] <kitche> !mini | Znuff Gux
[10:50] <ubotu> Znuff Gux: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[10:50] <Gux> ya, but i dont want it on this HDD, i have a 320GB i want to plant it on
[10:50] <Znuff> oh, there's a netinstall floppy for ubuntu?
[10:50] <CheshireViking> !install | Guz
[10:50] <ubotu> Guz: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[10:51] <homanj> PurpZeY: pretty sure. check http://addons.mozilla.org
[10:51] <kmag> dcordes: heh... by "!upgrade | kmag", I thought you were saying "Don't upgrade, kmag"
[10:51] <Znuff> kitche, the mini stuff is not a floppy :)
[10:51] <PurpZeY> Znuff: I think there's a way to do it on 3 floppies...Someone asked that a few days ago..
[10:51] <Znuff> Yup, seems there is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies
[10:51] <homanj> PurpZeY: there might be a few that are OS specific
[10:51] <dcordes> kmag: ;)
[10:51] <kitche> Znuff it's netinstall though :)
[10:51] <PurpZeY> homanj: I kid, from yesterday...you and me both w/ something...I think.....But I'm not sure.
[10:51] <gcbdm> Is it even possible to install Ubuntu via command line? ;)
[10:51] <nahemoth> what do you use instead of HJSPLIT?
[10:51] <Gux> welp, ill look at my options and see what I can do. hopefully next time im here ill be on ubuntu asking rookie questions. thanks for the help!
[10:51] <homanj> PurpZeY: ah, i see. bad memory here i think
[10:52] <Dice> bridge in feisty , anyone got a tips plz pm-me

[10:52] <Mr-Petah> hi all
[10:52] <PurpZeY> !ask | dice
[10:52] <ubotu> dice: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:52] <Grummus> Gux, the problem is the boot loader, thanx to every pc bios out there being backwards compatible to the point of boot real mode DOS from the 1980s you might run into trouble with swapping hds around
[10:52] <Mr-Petah> i have problems with suse grub...
[10:52] <kmag> anyone running AMD64 on Asus K8N-E mobo ?
[10:52] <PurpZeY> homanj: No, I don't. I just have a very poor sense of humor...ignore me.

[10:53] <Mr-Petah> can't make: grub-install /dev/hda
[10:53] <kmag> I'm trying to decide if I should stop at feisty or go on to gutsy, since I know that Edgy won't boot on my system
[10:53] <Mr-Petah> i try some different format
[10:54] <PurpZeY> I didn't think gutsy was out yet?
[10:54] <Mr-Petah> grub-install /dev/hda1

[10:54] <Dice> will do
[10:54] <Grummus> Mr-Petah, (hd0,0) is the grub syntax ;)
[10:54] <PurpZeY> elfking: What is your normal OS?
[10:54] <kmag> elfking: which os?
[10:54] <elfking> Win Vista
[10:55] <Mr-Petah> yes, but in the forums say try it.. i try.. xD
[10:55] <Znuff> Oh...  I hope this helps
