Computer will get VERY slow and cpu wait times in top will be high (see: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62090/), I can't figure out what is causing it though. Tried closing my 'regular' apps (firefox, evolution, amarok, etc) with no luck... Can someone please give me hand?

[03:20] <Adantan_Alex> chai_: it could be the plug in your using

[03:20] <troxor> Serveck: `dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1K count=10M && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile` should work
[03:20] <Serveck> can anyone link me how to make a swapfile?
[03:20] <CorbinFox> rtorrent? never heard of Rtorrent.
[03:21] <Serveck> thanks
[03:21] <chai_> Adantan_Alex, which would you suggest?
[03:21] <tayloreffect> its the best torrent client ive ever used...
[03:21] <tayloreffect> totally console based
[03:21] <kindofabuzz> utorrent ftw
[03:21] <Adantan_Alex> chai_: are these flash plug ins?
[03:21] <tayloreffect> but fast as hell
[03:21] <icanhasadmin> frozenskunk: possibly, but if it's not installed it won't cause the classic cpu issues it has
[03:21] <Serveck> what number do i change for the differentsize swap file?
[03:21] <frozenskunk> It is driving me nuts, it didn't used to be like this, (this particular install has been upgraded since dapper I think) and it will work for a whle, then bog back down...
[03:21] <icanhasadmin> frozenskunk: you running compiz right now?
[03:21] <Adantan_Alex> weird.... my task bar has shown
[03:21] <Serveck> i'd like to make the swap file 1gb
[03:21] <troxor> Serveck: count
[03:21] <frozenskunk> no, no desktop effects at all
[03:21] <tayloreffect> lol
[03:22] <Serveck> what do i put? 1024m?
[03:22] <Adantan_Alex> chai_: private message
[03:22] <cpk1> troxor: that was the first thing I did, no help =(
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> kindofabuzz can utorrent be run at coomand line?
[03:22] <Stepa1> when synaptic says ubuntu-desktop will be removed does that mean anything critical like i think?
[03:22] <adude> hey how do make it so you can read your emails in evolution
[03:22] <kindofabuzz> i dunno
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> then you can't ftw

[03:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[03:22] <Serveck> cool! ubuntu recognizes my wireless card, now where would it be in my windows files?
[03:22] <Serveck> its looking for it
[03:22] <troxor> Serveck: yep, 1024M * 1K block size should be about a gig :)
[03:23] <tayloreffect> well - I don't NEED bt from the command line
[03:23] <prettyricky> how do I edit the source.list?
[03:23] <tayloreffect> but i like running it on a headless server
[03:23] <Serveck> ok, any recomended swap file size for 512mb of ram?
[03:23] <prettyricky> is it gksudo?
[03:23] <frozenskunk> icanhasadmin: thanks for trying to help!
[03:23] <Serveck> windows sets it to like 2gb
[03:23] <Serveck> im running a dual boot btw..
[03:23] <tayloreffect> if they run on my desktop i look at them constatly =D

[03:24] <cpk1> troxor: only one I hadnt was bash_logout which I just did. maybe it doesnt have to do with bashrc after all
[03:24] <fabricio> hello
[03:24] <prettyricky> thats for ubuntu 7.10 correct
[03:24] <troxor> Serveck: 512 should be fine- you might want the seek= option to dd,

[03:25] <pingu> i need some help with ndiswrapper i haven't started yet but i will prolly need a walk through
[03:25] <Serveck> ok, i have a second question, which you probrably wont know, but have the link
[03:25] <troxor> cpk1: I believe the tab completion is readline's business- iirc, it uses ~/.inputrc, and completion should be enabled by default
[03:25] <pingu> anyone willing to help
[03:25] <Serveck> ubuntu recognizes my wireless card, HOWEVER, its looking for firmware
[03:25] <tayloreffect> my desktop uses xp ;)
[03:25] <Serveck> where in my windows files would it be>?
[03:25] <troxor> Serveck: broadcom?
[03:25] <Stepa1> I need help: I want to remove Evince
[03:26] <PanzerMKZ> tayloreffect oh well then deadhead works
[03:26] <Serveck> yes
[03:26] <cpk1> troxor: I have tab completion i.e. it will tab complete sudo but then it will not tab complete aptitude, which is the behavior I used to have

[03:26] <Serveck> but where would the firmware be?
[03:26] <prettyricky> does anyone know how to unistall AWN I need to reinstall

[03:27] <Serveck> thanks
[03:27] <amirman84> can any of you recommend a good dock to use with ubuntu?
[03:27] <PanzerMKZ> dock?
[03:28] <troxor> cpk1: that's strange.. even after re-login ?
[03:28] <frozenskunk> Stepa1: Have you tried Synaptic?
[03:28] <Stepa1> frozenskunk: yes, and i have a question about that
[03:28] <amirman84> a dock application, like the dock on the macos
[03:28] <PanzerMKZ> amirman84 dock?
[03:28] <frozenskunk> I'll at lesat make an answer up...
[03:28] <Stepa1> frozenskunk: when it says 2 packages will be removed and they are Evince and ubuntu-desktop
[03:28] <troxor> amirman84: awn is a popular choice
[03:28] <Stepa1> frozenskunk: does that mean anything bad?
[03:28] <frozenskunk> yes
[03:28] <Serveck> cool, ubuntu already found drivers for my modem and graphics drivers
[03:29] <icanhasadmin> Stepa1: yes very bad
[03:29] <amirman84> troxor: thanks, can i get from the package manager thingy or from the web or what?
[03:29] <icanhasadmin> Stepa1: why not sudo apt-get remove --purge evince ?
[03:29] <Stepa1> icanhasadmin: okay, good think i didnt press apply
[03:29] <frozenskunk> no, the ubuntu-desktop is a shell with dependencies on everything that ships with a 'stock' ubuntu install. it is there in case you remove too much and want it all back in one easy way.
[03:29] <prettyricky> does anyone know how to unistall AWN I need to reinstall
[03:29] <HinHin> hey guys, is there any way for apt-get remove a packages that are broken a.k.a can't install them?
[03:29] <frozenskunk> but ubuntu-desktop doesn't do anything in and of itself
[03:30] <Stepa1> icanhasadmin: i guess i can use that, but i prefer visual
[03:30] <HinHin> i can't install anything while i these packages are broken
[03:30] <troxor> amirman84: not sure about the state of it currently, but it might take a little effort to get going-
[03:30] <HinHin> i've tried to sudo apt-get -f install
[03:30] <frozenskunk> at least that is what I think...
[03:30] <troxor> amirman84: here's a starting point: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981
[03:30] <icanhasadmin> Stepa1: CLI is very much so your friend. trust me
[03:30] <HinHin> but the package simply won't install
[03:30] <amirman84> troxor: thanks i'll read up on the web
[03:30] <Adantan_Alex> any one planning to ask for help? :)
[03:31] <cpk1> troxor: shouldnt have to re-log, just open a new bash, i think I may have found the problem though
[03:31] <frozenskunk> Can you help me figure out what is slowing my computer down?
[03:31] <HinHin> Adantan_Alex, are you familar with apt-get?
[03:31] <icesword> lol
[03:31] <Serveck> hmm.. it seems that linux cannot access my system 32 folder in windows..
[03:31] <icesword> Serveck, why
[03:31] <Stepa1> icanhasadmin: yea, im trying to learn it. I just like to know what im doing and most of the time when i get advise here i dont
[03:31] <Stepa1> icanhasadmin: i understood you though ;-)
[03:32] <cpk1> troxor: I needed the package "bash-completion" that did it =)
[03:32] <troxor> cpk1: d'oh, that was easy :)
[03:32] <pingu> what are linux headers and how do i find out what version i have
[03:32] <amirman84> crap, i'm running ubuntu in vmware so i can't enable compiz or beryl or anything because the virtual graphics drivers suck
[03:32] <amirman84> so i guess i can't use AWN
[03:32] <troxor> pingu: `uname -a`
[03:33] <HinHin> is there anyway to force apt-get to remove packages? despite if the packages are broken?
[03:33] <HinHin> i can't install the broken packages with sudo apt-get -f install
[03:33] <Adantan_Alex> o0
[03:33] <Stepa1> icanhasadmin: thanks for that info.  Is there any reason why synaptic wants to remove ubuntu when i remove evince?
[03:33] <troxor> pingu: they're development files for the kernel
[03:33] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[03:34] <Starnestommy> Stepa1: it's because ubuntu-desktop has evince as a dependency
[03:34] <troxor> HinHin: could you paste the output to pastebin?
[03:34] <HinHin> troxor, sure
[03:34] <icanhasadmin> Stepa1: honestly i think that's a bug
[03:34] <icanhasadmin> Stepa1: actually, i believe it's a mis-feature :P
[03:34] <pingu> troxor: thanks and can i rely on you for im doing some stuff with ndiswrapper because the drivers for my card in linux suck and its kinda uncharted territory for me
[03:34] <Serveck> hey.. it says 512m is an invalid number for setting up a swapfile
[03:34] <Stepa1> Starnestommy, icanhasadmin: am i sacrifising anything by removing it?
[03:35] <BBLake> did i make it?
[03:35] <frozenskunk> icanhasadmin: I think it is intended to give you a quick and easy way to get back to the 'stock' set of ubuntu apps
[03:35] <kronoman> Stepa1: evince is a pdf viewer
[03:35] <Serveck> troxor, it says 512m is invalid number
[03:35] <troxor> Serveck: capital M ;) case sensitive
[03:35] <wbreslin951> whats the terminal command to build dependancies?
[03:35] <Serveck> ooh ok
[03:35] <Serveck> lol
[03:35] <icanhasadmin> frozenskunk: i'm sorry, "suggesting" the user uninstalls gnome is a mis-feature in any situation :P
[03:35] <Serveck> hmm seems to be working
[03:35] <Stepa1> kronoman: i know that, thanks
[03:35] <icanhasadmin> wbreslin951: depmod -a?
[03:36] <HinHin> troxor, http://pastebin.com/m272a3957
[03:36] <Serveck> about how long will this take and which partition will it make it in?
[03:36] <troxor> pingu: sure, ndiswrapper is a common obstacle- there's a plethora of info out there about it too
[03:36] <Stepa1> i want to know why its a treat to remove
[03:36] <wbreslin951> icanhasadmin: k thanks
[03:36] <frozenskunk> icanhasadmin: Ah! Yes, I agree with you there. It concerned me first time I came across it also, that when I read up on it
[03:36] <prettyricky> does anyone know how to unistall AWN I tried installing it and didnt work so I need to reinstall
[03:36] <guardoftheguards> I'm having trouble using Mythbuntu with a PVR-350.  I read the tutorial on how to enable TV-out and everything seems to work (modprobe test screen) but I don't seem to have a framebuffer.  "cat /proc/fb" results in nothing.
[03:36] <guardoftheguards> cat /var/log/messages |grep "TV out"   results in nothing as well
[03:36] <prettyricky> I want to uninstall everything
[03:37] <Serveck> troxor, this wont make the swapfile in my windows partition will it?
[03:37] <Masticore> Is it possible to install KDE and then completly remove Gnome
[03:37] <wbreslin951> icanhasadmin: depmod -a checks to see if there's any new modules
[03:37] <StrangeCharm> hey, how can i activate network interfaces that don't show up when i ifconfig? they were detected at install, but don't seem to be on
[03:37] <Stepa1> Good Night Guys, thanks for the help 8-)
[03:37] <Starnestommy> prettyricky: if you installed it from source, try running 'sudo make deinstall' or 'sudo make uninstall' in its source directory
[03:37] <Serveck> i have alot of files i cant loose in there
[03:37] <wbreslin951> its build-dep or somethin like that but i can't get the exact command
[03:37] <pingu> troxor: i have the basic info but i still consider myself a bit of a noob at ubuntu
[03:37] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: Seems like mine took an odd device for playback (16 maybe?)
[03:37] <troxor> Serveck: nope, it'll make it in whatever partition is mounted to /
[03:37] <Serveck> ok
[03:37] <Serveck> good
[03:37] <Serveck> hmm.. it seems it made it
[03:38] <troxor> HinHin: try `sudo apt-get clean`
[03:38] <Serveck> yup, it made it fine
[03:38] <HinHin> troxor, tried that
[03:38] <icanhasadmin> !enter Serveck
[03:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter serveck - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:38] <anka-ar> hey marky, give me a gui to stream my music
[03:38] <HinHin> troxor, i tried to install gnome

[03:38] <wbreslin951> anyone: whats the command to get / build the dependancies of a package?
[03:38] <Serveck> all i have left to do is make my wireless card work and im all set
[03:38] <troxor> HinHin: try removing gnome-network-preferences first, then doing apt-get install -f
[03:39] <pingu> troxor: this is the web page im using and im stuck with the third groups of commands http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31926
[03:39] <Starnestommy> wbreslin951: when installing a package with apt-get or a .deb file?
[03:39] <icanhasadmin> Serveck: what's wrong with your wireless card?
[03:39] <Serveck> im trying to get it to find firmware
[03:39] <JPRuskin> !nvidia | jpruskin
[03:39] <kindofabuzz> apt-cache depends <packagename>
[03:39] <Serveck> its installed properly on my windows partition
[03:39] <Serveck> i need to get the files now, but i dont know which
[03:39] <icesword> kindofabuzz, depends ?what does it do
[03:39] <wbreslin951> Starnestommy: nvm i figured it out, sudo apt-get build-dep <program name>
[03:39] <Serveck> its looking for firmware
[03:39] <Masticore> Is it possible to install KDE and then completly remove Gnome?
[03:40] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: I know when I cat things to /dev/video16 it works.
[03:40] <icanhasadmin> Serveck: what? files for what?
[03:40] <troxor> pingu: that's a pretty outdated guide, one sec
[03:40] <HinHin> troxor, didn't work either...
[03:40] <HinHin> http://pastebin.com/m4f3e5ce8
[03:40] <Serveck> for my broadcom wireless card
[03:40] <kindofabuzz> icesword: shows the deps for the package
[03:40] <pingu> troxor: ok holding on
[03:40] <icesword> k
[03:40] <wbreslin951> Serveck: good luck with that lol
[03:40] <Serveck> it needs the files for the drivers, i have them ,but i dont know which
[03:40] <Piffer> Quick Question. On my Sony Vaio laptop, the internal fan does not run under Kbuntu, but under Ubuntu, it works fine. Any ideas?
[03:40] <icanhasadmin> Serveck: 43xx driver?
[03:40] <troxor> pingu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[03:40] <Serveck> not sure
[03:40] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: But, I don't know exactly what a framebuffer is/how I should set that line up.
[03:40] <Serveck> as soon as it boots i can check
[03:40] <wbreslin951> Serveck: use cabextract to get them from the windows driver
[03:40] <Flannel> Masticore: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[03:40] <Masticore> tnz
[03:40] <StrangeCharm> i have several nics, all show up when i ifconfig ethx for them specifically, but only one [and lo] appears when i ifconfig
[03:41] <kindofabuzz> icesword: apt-cache --help shows what you can do
[03:41] <BBLake> anyone can help with xchat.  trying to log onto an irc server, with no luck
[03:41] <Masticore> thanks
[03:41] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: Then you have to tell mythtv to use that dev for playback
[03:41] <StrangeCharm> how can i set them to be active?
[03:41] <Piffer> if lm-sensors is missing, could that cause the fan not to run?
[03:41] <icesword> kindofabuzz, k
[03:41] <Starnestommy> BBLake: try asking in #xchat
[03:41] <BBLake> irc://irc.rizon.net  ----i can't get into this server through xchat?
[03:41] <BBLake> ok starnestommy
[03:41] <Starnestommy> BBLake: try /newserver irc.rizon.net
[03:41] <wbreslin951> Serveck: need some help with bcm?
[03:41] <Flannel> BBLake: try `/server irc.rizon.net`
[03:42] <troxor> HinHin: one way to resolve it is just persist through the dependencies, removing them all until it lets you remove what you want, then reinstalling them after it's resolved
[03:42] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: I believe I am in TV Settings, but it results in an initialization error.
[03:42] <kindofabuzz> BBLake: try /a better client =)
[03:42] <pingu> troxor: is there a walk through on this i would filter through all of it but i would rather not if you know exactly where it is
[03:42] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: I don't recall setting that up, so it maybe that it is either not used, or the default worked for me (or I used beer to help fix that particular problem)
[03:42] <troxor> HinHin: but the goal is to remove the package with the offending file, then run apt-get install -f
[03:43] <BBLake> kindo, any recommendations.  the link is up on the webpage, and in window's i doubleclicked, and chatzilla brought it up.
[03:43] <Serveck> ok my card IS 43xx

[03:44] <wbreslin951> can anyone help me with a Mac on Linux install?
[03:44] <icanhasadmin> Serveck: very common card, let me know if you can't find a guide
[03:44] <Adantan_Alex> yes
[03:44] <Adantan_Alex> i can
[03:44] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: Yea. Using Mythbuntu.  Setup > TV Settings > Playback
[03:44] <HinHin> troxor, so there's no way to get apt-get to forgot all about installing gnome?
[03:44] <Adantan_Alex> wbreslin951: talk in private
[03:45] <HinHin> i've tried removing alot of the gnome packages
[03:45] <pingu> troxor: hey whats the command to figure out what i am running i.e. AMD 64 i think i am but not sure

[03:45] <kindofabuzz> BBLake: i use chatzilla.  as a seperate process, not as an addon
[03:45] <HinHin> but it keeps demanding to resolve the depencies
[03:45] <pygmymath> irssi :D
[03:46] <troxor> HinHin: it's probably bugging you for good reason :)
[03:46] <wbreslin951> oi.. gotta go.. thanks for your help tho Adantan_Alex
[03:46] <icesword> ;)
[03:46] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards Do you have the -350 TV out enabled? I had problems with that, so I don't have it enabled, and it works...
[03:46] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: There just seems to be one checkbox (a couple screens in) that says "Use the PVR-350's TV out / MPEG decoder"  I have that checked and the video device set to /dev/video26
[03:46] <guardoftheguards> oh
[03:46] <HinHin> troxor, :P but i want it just to forget it
[03:46] <HinHin> entirely
[03:46] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards right, try unchecking that
[03:47] <pingu> troxor: this is what it gives me "Linux michael-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:47] <Adantan_Alex> ahy time
[03:47] <BBLake> can you run chatzilla on ubuntu?
[03:47] <srbaker> hey folks
[03:47] <orlok> Is it possible for me to upgrade Gutsy to the 8. beta?
[03:47] <troxor> pingu: that's a 32-bit kernel
[03:47] <BBLake> i'd much rather use chatzilla, for some reason i thought it wasn't on ubuntu
[03:47] <kindofabuzz> BBLake: umm yeah
[03:47] <srbaker> is there a list of hardware companies that offer machines pre-installed with ubuntu that i can see?
[03:47] <pingu> troxor: how do you know?
[03:47] <kindofabuzz> BBLake: it's a firefox addon so why couldn't you?
[03:47] <troxor> HinHin: pingu i686 ;)
[03:47] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: Ok. Did you try setting up the TV Out on it through xorg.conf?
[03:47] <troxor> er, pingu i686
[03:47] <dseomn> BBLake: the package is mozilla-chatzilla
[03:47] <orlok> srbaker: Dell do, i think.
[03:48] <pygmymath> srbaker: dont know about that but i know that Dell do
[03:48] <RPC> Hello, everyone.
[03:48] <HinHin> troxor, o.o... i fixed it with Synaptic
[03:48] <troxor> HinHin: sweet
[03:48] <HinHin> what the...
[03:48] <srbaker> does dell offer every machine with ubuntu, or just one or two?
[03:48] <srbaker> i want a fast as hell machine
[03:48] <HinHin> lol
[03:48] <BBLake> installing now.
[03:48] <HinHin> troxor, thanks for the help ;)
[03:48] <kindofabuzz> just go to firefox addons page and install it, then i will show you how to run as a seperate process so if FF crashes chatzilla won't
[03:48] <pingu> troxor: i guess just something you know
[03:48] <slashjamiec> ubuntu is lightening fast on my current pc
[03:48] <troxor> HinHin: no problemo, synaptic is smarter than me though :[
[03:48] <pygmymath> srbaker: one or two afaik.
[03:48] <RPC> I have a toshiba A205-s5800 I want to put linux on.  I used to use knoppmyth, and it would work there, but when Iswitched to mythbuntu, it wouldn't work anymore
[03:49] <slashjamiec> I'm running fluxbuntu on a pc with 3gb ram :S
[03:49] <orlok> srbaker: i think they may have a website...
[03:49] <troxor> pingu: it would say x86_64 if it was a 64-bit kernel
[03:49] <pygmymath> slashjamiec: just got my new nvidia working and wooooo
[03:49] <icanhasadmin> RPC: just use the live cd....
[03:49] <pygmymath> slashjamiec: heh flux? i could never get that going to my tastes
[03:49] <pingu> troxor: you know more than i do
[03:49] <srbaker> orlok: heh, yeah
[03:49] <HinHin> troxor, synaptic is going to rule the world
[03:49] <slashjamiec> pygmymath: serious? I love it.
[03:49] <orlok> slashjamiec: 512M of ram here, 630Mhz processor, 4G drive.. runs nicely :)
[03:49] <HinHin> :P
[03:49] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: If I understand correctly, the difference is where the processing is done, either on the 350 or by your cpu.
[03:49] <troxor> srbaker: they only offer pre-installed ubuntu on several machines, afaict
[03:50] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards I would try unchecking that box and see if it works then...
[03:50] <pygmymath> slashjamiec: couldnt get the menus working how i liked heh.. and compositing didnt work.. sucky reason but i love gnome too heh
[03:50] <orlok> OpenArena runs too
[03:50] <slashjamiec> orlok: really? Man.  I've sold some of those
[03:51] <srbaker> troxor: i was a linux user for 10 years, and bought a mac.  i have no interest in installing operating systems, twiddling bits, or touching hardware ever again :)
[03:51] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: I'm hooked to a VGA, so it outputs there, right now.
[03:51] <pygmymath> orlok: gnome eee user reporting for duty :P and you can OC to 900 :)
[03:51] <orlok> slashjamiec: rum?
[03:51] <slashjamiec> orlok: yum*
[03:51] <Serveck> IT WORKS!
[03:51] <HinHin> slashjamiec, most celerons would run almost as well as any other comparable intel chip in non-graphical cli
[03:51] <orlok> pygmymath: i have other systems if i want to burn my lap or run "demanding" apps
[03:51] <Serveck> my wireless card works.. but it cannot connect to my network, and i dont have the HEX key
[03:51] <orlok> slashjamiec: yup, they are.
[03:51] <Serveck> just the passphrase
[03:52] <icanhasadmin> Serveck: that could be a problem lol
[03:52] <wittyphotons> does anyone know how i could remap ctrl-alt-bksp to bring up the quit menu instead of killing the session?
[03:52] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: yeah, I had that for a while too when I set up, seems like the vga was display 0, and the 350 was display 1 (or something to that effect), you can get it to do both at once as a dual display also.
[03:52] <pygmymath> orlok: fair play :) my eee is just pidgin, ff, mocp irssi and some open office heh
[03:52] <Serveck> well, every other laptop worked fine with the passphrase
[03:52] <slashjamiec> Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu 7.10 won't run on my pc for?
[03:52] <orlok> pygmymath: i am actually wanting to get my X working "nicely"
[03:52] <icanhasadmin> slashjamiec: no, but you can tell us what the problem with it is
[03:52] <pygmymath> wittyphotons: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:52] <troxor> srbaker: your best bet is to check out what's available then ;)
[03:52] <dseomn> wittyphotons: I think you have to edit xorg.conf, disable C-A-Bkspc, then do what pygmymath said
[03:52] <srbaker> NICE
[03:52] <srbaker> they have the m1330
[03:52] <srbaker> troxor: only the inspiron 530
[03:52] <srbaker> troxor: i wanted an XPS :(
[03:52] <slashjamiec> when i try and boot, it shows the startup boot screen, and nothing after that shows.
[03:52] <wittyphotons> okay, i'll try those things.
[03:53] <n3urogod> morning people
[03:53] <slashjamiec> ive tried "acpi=off" in the boot options
[03:53] <pygmymath> orlok: whats wrong with it? I'm running basic ubuntu with the eee scripts & modules and ive got the cube going at a good 50-60
[03:53] <srbaker> are any other reputable vendors doing it?  i'm leaning towards system76 currently
[03:53] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: another strange thing is you can't play video back over a vnc connection, (at least without messing with some display settings) you can do everything else, just not playback...
[03:53] <BBLake> thanks all. duh
[03:53] <orlok> pygmymath: my "fast" computer overclocks by more then the eeepc's total overclocked speed... 3Ghz oc'd to 4Ghz
[03:53] <n3urogod> hey I want to setup an ssh-pppd tunnel to another machine, does anyone have a howto or any info on how to do this the ubuntu/debian way?
[03:53] <troxor> srbaker: both dell and system76 are good
[03:53] <pygmymath> orlok: nice heh
[03:54] <slashjamiec> *scratches head*
[03:54] <orlok> pygmymath: dunno, compiz stuff isnt working the same as on my ubuntu desktop
[03:54] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[03:54] <orlok> pygmymath: dont get the same menu options or effects
[03:54] <pygmymath> orlok: Using intel driver?
[03:54] <orlok> yup
[03:54] <speedhunt3r> hi, how do you run a .bin file?
[03:54] <slashjamiec> I like the eepc. They're good.  We can read lowercase too.
[03:55] <icanhasadmin> pygmymath: amen brother
[03:55] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: It's quite odd.
[03:55] <icanhasadmin> Adantan_Alex: i disagree
[03:55] <pygmymath> orlok: you dont need xgl at all on the eee. only reason to use xgl is ati
[03:55] <troxor> srbaker: there are a few machines that come with redhat enterprise, iirc
[03:55] <guardoftheguards> It seems like X is just completely ignoring the conf file
[03:55] <high-freq> um just had prob installin when a windows partition is on sda1 and i installed ubuntu on sda5....now i rebooted and nothing happend like grub didn't work
[03:55] <orlok> pygmymath: ahh, ok, cheers
[03:55] <high-freq> anyone know how to get grub to work
[03:56] <pygmymath> icanhasadmin: used it for too long with my ati carxd. today my 9600 is working with beta drivers and i love it heh
[03:56] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: Would it work with the checkbox cleared?
[03:56] <orlok> slashjamiec: i got mine in the "second" batch though
[03:56] <troxor> srbaker: and if RH will run on them, ubuntu will :)
[03:56] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: Outputs to the vga monitor
[03:56] <orlok> slashjamiec: then all the major retailers were stockingthem
[03:56] <icanhasadmin> pygmymath: fglrx+AIGLX runs so amazing i cry sometimes when i use my comp
[03:56] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: But the very fact that this VGA monitor is working baffles me.
[03:56] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: ok then you need to change your display to force it over the the 350
[03:56] <icanhasadmin> high-freq: describe "not work" please
[03:56] <Masticore> Best and easiest DVD Rip program?
[03:57] <Daisuke_Ido> define rip
[03:57] <Daisuke_Ido> dvd9 to dvd5?  or dvd to xvid?
[03:57] <SpArTaKo> ripear"
[03:57] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards I think your system has two displays and is using the vga by default, you need to force it over to the 350 I think
[03:57] <pygmymath> icanhasadmin: i cant get this card to go under 70 fps. ands thats cos it's vsynced :/
[03:57] <Masticore> make an avi file of a dvd
[03:57] <srbaker> troxor: ah, true.
[03:57] <Daisuke_Ido> dvd::rip
[03:57] <wittyphotons> dseomn, how would i disable c-a-bksp in xorg.conf?
[03:57] <Masticore> okey
[03:57] <Serveck> ok, my wireless card works, i put in my WEP key, yet it will not connect
[03:57] <high-freq> hmm
[03:57] <srbaker> troxor: i think i might just get system76 so i can not install myself :P
[03:57] <high-freq> it doesn't boot
[03:57] <Daisuke_Ido> pretty good, may have to play with settings
[03:57] <high-freq> wants to do a network boot or somethin
[03:58] <dospod> can anybody help me fix a display problem
[03:58] <dseomn> wittyphotons: from the manpage: Option "DontZap" "On"
[03:58] <icanhasadmin> pygmymath: wait you can't get it to go UNDER 70fps? You're not complaining about that are you? Lol
[03:59] <pygmymath> icanhasadmin: not at all :D
[03:59] <wittyphotons> dseomn, ohhh, THIS is where i add that. that makes so much more sense!
[03:59] <high-freq> icanhasadmin, after install i rebooted and nothing would come up not grub nor windows
[03:59] <icanhasadmin> high-freq: sounds like you hosed your mbr
[03:59] <pygmymath> icanhasadmin: and running steamgames in wine full screen on the cube is sweet :P compared to a terminal error from wine when i had my ati :P
[03:59] <high-freq> any fix?
[03:59] <dospod> can anybody help me fix my display error
[03:59] <icanhasadmin> high-freq: windows cd, mbr fix
[03:59] <nomadz> need help with screen resizing inside of virtualbox,
[03:59] <dospod> on a fresh install
[03:59] <Daisuke_Ido> srbaker, you could always go with a dellbuntu.  i have nothing against system76, but i do believe it's a good idea to show major pc makers that there is demand for linux
[03:59] <icanhasadmin> dospod: please don't ask to ask a question, just ask it
[04:00] <srbaker> Daisuke_Ido: yes, but they don't have the model i want.
[04:00] <high-freq> after that do i go into the livecd and fix grub?
[04:00] <srbaker> Daisuke_Ido: they only provide the inspiron 530 with ubuntu, and i want XPS
[04:00] <Daisuke_Ido> fair enough
[04:00] <dospod> I need help I installed ubuntu , live cd loaded fine , but when I boot off the hd it hangs always never displays anything , except when I run ubuntu recovery mode then I can actually get it to display to my screen
[04:00] <Daisuke_Ido> not a laptop?
[04:00] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: http://www.pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3
[04:01] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: http://www.pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3
[04:01] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: checking it, give me a minute
[04:01] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: http://pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3
[04:01] <dospod> Its never done this to me before on the laptop and I have tested previous versions of ubuntu on this laptop
[04:01] <guardoftheguards> there it is
[04:01] <guardoftheguards> that's the right link
[04:01] <slashjamiec> I've got this old 933mhz celeron in the shed with 92mb ram, what can i do with it? Ubuntu!?
[04:01] <icanhasadmin> dospod: does it get to grub?
[04:01] <high-freq> icanhasadmin, ok did that mbr fix using the windows cd...and nada..same thing won't boot...i might have to reformat the whole drive and just put nix on it
[04:01] <dospod> yes it does
[04:01] <Zelta> Okay, so why is it that mp3 files and flv files freeze Firefox / VLC Media Player / Rythmbox?  I installed the proper codecs using Automatix2, and it worked for a bit, but now opening flash videos and .mp3 files cause me to have to Force Quit the application
[04:01] <Adantan_Alex> hmmmm
[04:01] <dospod> but when it goes into ubuntu it crashes
[04:01] <dseomn> slashjamiec: that should run ubuntu ok, but you might be better off with puppy or dsl, or something
[04:01] <dospod> but if I press esc and select ubuntu recovery mode it works fine
[04:02] <Adantan_Alex> dospod: dd you make any hardware changes?
[04:02] <Adantan_Alex> did*
[04:02] <icanhasadmin> dospod: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please
[04:02] <high-freq> any other suggestion on a hosed mbr?
[04:02] <high-freq> how to fix
[04:02] <slashjamiec> but dsl sucks, there's no "apt-get" which blows. :P
[04:02] <dospod> I don't have access to the internet on the lappy
[04:02] <Adantan_Alex> lol....
[04:02] <nomadz> dsl has apt-get
[04:02] <dospod> I need to get the screen first so I can then ethernet it up and then install the bc43xx fcutter
[04:03] <slashjamiec> nomadz: I'm pretty sure it doesn't include the synaptics manager. :S
[04:03] <Serveck> how do i get my HEX key? i have my passphrase.. and my dad is sleeping (the one with the hex key)
[04:03] <orlok> pygmymath: custom settings manager? or compiz settings manager?
[04:03] <nomadz> yeap it does
[04:03] <dseomn> Serveck: WEP? WPA PSK? WPA2 PSK?
[04:03] <slashjamiec> I'll boot into it later
[04:03] <nomadz> dsl 4.xx
[04:03] <orlok> slashjamiec: where did you get your eee?
[04:04] <Adantan_Alex> dillidoo kiss my boo
[04:04] <Serveck> WEP
[04:04] <Adantan_Alex> lol j/k
[04:04] <pygmymath> orlok: Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[04:04] <Serveck> will a regular hex key translator work?
[04:04] <parkinm> Russian Roulette in Linux ;)          [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm *.* || echo "You live"
[04:04] <Serveck> well.. its worth a shot
[04:04] <slashjamiec> orlok: At that damn Good Guys.
[04:04] <Adantan_Alex> ok the thing is if your using WEP there are 2 types of WEB one is ASCII and the other one is HEX
[04:04] <orlok> slashjamiec: ahh, so part of the second shipment?
[04:04] <orlok> hmm
[04:04] <Adantan_Alex> WEP*
[04:04] <ryanzec> what is the ubuntu off topic irc channel?
[04:05] <orlok> i am sure my ram was socketed....
[04:05] <Adantan_Alex> im installing ubuntu now....
[04:05] <Starnestommy> ryanzec: #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[04:05] <dospod> for once I think I should have stuck with vista insted of ubuntu
[04:05] <icanhasadmin> parkinm: hey i did that and i won. oh yeah and PLEASE don't encourage newbies to hose their system like that
[04:05] <slashjamiec> orlok: Yeah, wasn't the first shipment... You have 2gb expandable slots, but my version came with 512mb soldered.
[04:05] <dospod> which is crazy since I always prefer ubuntu over vista
[04:05] <orlok> slashjamiec: JB hifi here
[04:05] <Adantan_Alex> dospod did u dual boot?
[04:05] <dospod> no
[04:05] <Adantan_Alex> :
[04:05] <dospod> used to
[04:05] <dospod> but I wanted just ubuntu this time
[04:05] <Adantan_Alex> dospod: you should of dual boot
[04:06] <nomadz> can someone tell me why i have to log out log back in a session in order to get my screen size to work, i am using virtualbox driver in vista
[04:06] <slashjamiec> orlok: Yeah, i used to live in Brisbane. I should have got it at JB. But I'm up in rockhampton these days :P
[04:06] <dospod> Its weird the last version of ubuntu loaded
[04:06] <dospod> fine
[04:06] <dospod> worked out of box
[04:06] <dospod> same hardware
[04:06] <parkinm> icanhasadmin, anyone who plays russian roulette you should already be aware of what might pursue! :P
[04:06] <Adantan_Alex> nomadz: this is a ubuntu channel
[04:06] <FloodBot1> dospod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:06] <Adantan_Alex> !room
[04:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about room - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[04:06] <dospod> but this one just is kinda screwed up
[04:06] <high-freq> dospod, what the prob is?
[04:06] <nomadz> the question is about ubuntu 7.10
[04:07] <dospod> It hangs when loading ubuntu
[04:07] <dospod> ubuntu recovery works
[04:07] <slashjamiec> 6.06 was the best version ever.
[04:07] <dospod> but when it tries to load ubuntu it dosen't even display anything
[04:07] <jkonami> hey guys
[04:07] <dospod> just black
[04:07] <Serveck> i heard that your supposed to put s: before your passphrase for WEP
[04:07] <high-freq> hmm
[04:07] <Adantan_Alex> .... lol
[04:07] <high-freq> wrong xorg file ;(
[04:07] <dseomn> Serveck: that's if you edit wpa_supplicant.conf directly
[04:08] <Serveck> oh
[04:08] <orlok> slashjamiec: compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:08] <Serveck> so it SHOULD work with my passphrase, but it does not
[04:08] <parkinm> No-one should be using WEP unless the _really_ need it, like if they want to use a nintendo DS or something that doesnt support WPA
[04:08] <high-freq> have u tried to fix it using diff terminal...console mode ;)
[04:08] <Serveck> it might be WPA
[04:08] <dospod> in recovery mode I can start x
[04:08] <Serveck> im not sure, my dad was the one to configure the network
[04:08] <slashjamiec> orlok: Mines at home, I'm at the office.
[04:08] <high-freq> k
[04:08] <dospod> and I even dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:08] <jkonami> so I'm still working out my video problems.  I have the newest ati drivers installed, everything displays ok.  but compiz still has wierd bugs.. if I disable compiz then I have response time problems (everything seems slow to click on or to type) but it's not like that with compiz turned on
[04:08] <orlok> pygmymath: even, compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:08] <dseomn> Serveck: using the wrong connection method isn't likely to work, regardless of having the right key ;)
[04:09] <high-freq> dospod, try comparing those two files..maybe xorg is messed
[04:09] <high-freq> brb
[04:09] <JPRuskin> night all
[04:09] <dospod> I don't have the old file anymore : \
[04:09] <parkinm> Serveck, having problems connecting to wireless network?
[04:09] <Serveck> hmm.. it sees it, it just wont pull the ip
[04:09] <slashjamiec> night JPRuskin!
[04:09] <pygmymath> orlok: what for?
[04:09] <SpArTaKo> sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/bin/wish
[04:09] <Adantan_Alex> look....
[04:09] <Serveck> yea, i got my wireless card to work, wont connect
[04:09] <jkonami> however, I didn't want to use compiz all the time because some programs I want to work right now (particularly gncash) have rendering problems
[04:09] <SpArTaKo> what is   sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/bin/wish
[04:09] <slashjamiec> I'm going IDLE for a bit, cyas!
[04:09] <dospod> and I hate xorg configuring idk why
[04:09] <Adantan_Alex> dospod: are you using a router? Adantan_Alex
[04:09] <slashjamiec> Thanks for your help everyone!
[04:09] <Adantan_Alex> bye
[04:10] <Adantan_Alex> any time
[04:10] <slashjamiec> cheers.
[04:10] <dseomn> SpArTaKo: it makes wish and link to wish8.4
[04:10] <dospod> my wireless card dosen't work out of box
[04:10] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[04:10] <Adantan_Alex> !hardware: dospod
[04:10] <Adantan_Alex> oops
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> hi
[04:10] <Adantan_Alex> !hardware | dospod
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> excused I would want to know if the router beyond to having the hole for ethernet it has also the normal hole thanks… excused my ugly English but I am Italian
[04:10] <ubotu> dospod: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[04:10] <dseomn> SpArTaKo: so that running wish will actually run the command wish8.4
[04:10] <jkonami> so if anyone has any experience with this gnucash rendering problem under compiz, I'm looking for a workaround at least.. and any suggestions for alternates to compiz or metacity
[04:10] <happyface_> I apt-get installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and didnt like kubuntu so switched back. Now my login screen is stuck at kubuntu and i have many kde apps... help!
[04:11] <dospod> dv5000 pavillion , 1.8 ghz turion 64, 1 gig ram , 80 gig hd , bc43xx wifi card, dvd-rw, 15.4 widescreen and thats about it
[04:11] <nabcore> any one use acx?
[04:11] <dospod> and I thought I was gonna get around to using kde 4 tonite : \
[04:11] <Adantan_Alex> omg installation done i think
[04:12] <Adantan_Alex> woot woot
[04:12] <Adantan_Alex> hmmmm
[04:13] <pygmymath> dospod: if you have a working ubuntu, sudo apt-get install kde4-core worked for me
[04:13] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: sorry about that, had to take the dogs outside, give me another miunute
[04:13] <Serveck> dospod, it should work fine, i just got ubuntu on my V2000 compaq presario (essentially the same computer)
[04:13] <pygmymath> happyface_: sudo apt-get remove kde4-core sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:13] <dospod> serveck and it dosen't : \
[04:13] <pygmymath> happyface_: thats to remove kde4 and then any un-needed programs
[04:14] <dospod> and the other versions I used to have on it worked
[04:14] <happyface_> thanks pygmymath
[04:14] <pygmymath> happyface_: no problemo.
[04:14] <dseomn> happyface_: be careful with autoremove, it could want to remove stuff you don't want it to
[04:14] <happyface_> i want to remove all kde stuff
[04:14] <pygmymath> dseomn: thanks for the heads up. any way to restrict it?
[04:14] <dseomn> happyface_: autoremove should do that, but check to make sure it doesn't remove other stuff too
[04:14] <Serveck> what problem are you having?
[04:15] <happyface_> thanks dseomn
[04:15] <dseomn> pygmymath: there's no clean fix as far as I know
[04:15] <dseomn> happyface_: no prob
[04:15] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: No problem.  Thanks for this.
[04:15] <pygmymath> dseomn: shame.. i've used it a few times with no problems on this box
[04:15] <happyface_> dseomn: pygmymath: also, when I ctr+alt+(F1-F4), I get a blank screen instead of a console
[04:15] <dseomn> pygmymath: yeah, it all depends on how you installed the software in the first place
[04:15] <pygmymath> ah right got you
[04:16] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: no problem, no one seems to be able to help with mine, I might as well help some one while I'm here waiting...
[04:16] <pygmymath> dseomn: if its not been apt-got then it might uninstall it style of thing?
[04:16] <prettyricky> can some one guide me on installing AWN!
[04:16] <dseomn> pygmymath: yeah, it's more complex than that, but that's the basic idea
[04:16] <pygmymath> dseomn: everything always is heh
[04:16] <Serveck> when i go to change my network settings, there is no option for WPA key
[04:17] <dseomn> happyface_: that's usually a problem with getty or init, I'd need more details to be able to help
[04:17] <dseomn> Serveck: are you using network-manager-gnome?
[04:18] <sarcher> hi
[04:18] <dseomn> happyface_: have you customized anything in the init system or installed a different getty program?
[04:18] <Serveck> no, where is that?
[04:18] <sarcher> I'm running 8.04 beta with all the latest updates
[04:18] <happyface_> dseomn: I don't think so
[04:18] <dospod> does 8.4 at least work
[04:18] <sarcher> I got a message failed to initialize HAL
[04:18] <dospod> I wouldn't mind downloading the iso and burning it to just to get my laptop up and running
[04:18] <sarcher> the network won't start or anything now
[04:18] <sarcher> everything was working except sound
[04:19] <dospod> damnit
[04:19] <Adantan_Alex> my installation keeps messing up at.... 100 percent
[04:19] <sarcher> now sound works and everything else doesn't :)
[04:19] <orlok> Hmm, move window is alt-f7, right?
[04:19] <happyface_> dseomn: ubuntu says I need a system restart brb
[04:19] <Adantan_Alex> then my computer sais could not boot operating system then i restart then it works
[04:20] <orlok> ubuntu should tell me to get a beer
[04:20] <Adantan_Alex> XD
[04:20] <magicsword> ok....I see the sun java website...but is there a linke to ubuntu java???
[04:20] <Adantan_Alex> ok well
[04:20] <Adantan_Alex> orlok: u want a beer? request that in the updates :P
[04:20] <Adantan_Alex> j/k lol
[04:20] <dseomn> orlok: apt-get beer
[04:20]  * orlok does an apt-cache search
[04:21] <orlok> ohhh
[04:21] <orlok> woo, homebrew recepie calculator!
[04:21] <Adantan_Alex> apt-get something
[04:21] <orlok> i got a homebrew kit for my 31st last week!
[04:21] <torpedo|dog> E: Invalid operation beer
[04:21] <torpedo|dog> :(
[04:21] <Adantan_Alex> cool
[04:21] <orlok> its qbrew
[04:21] <orlok> Hmm, Coopers.
[04:21] <torpedo|dog> say, has anybody had trouble getting the Sun Java 6 plugin to work in Firefox?
[04:22] <magicsword> can anyone assist me with a link to download java for ubuntu???
[04:22] <dseomn> torpedo|dog: I was just kidding (but don't worry it doesn't hose your system)
[04:22] <troxor> 1java
[04:22] <troxor> !java
[04:22] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[04:22]  * troxor <-- fail
[04:23] <troxor> torpedo|dog: try apt-get moo
[04:23] <torpedo|dog> I already have pretty much everything Ubuntu Sun Java 6 has to offer. It worked back in the days of Gutsy Gibbon, now not so much.
[04:23] <magicsword> thanks
[04:23] <happyface_> I still have kde as my login screen, and ubuntu still says I need a restart, and I still have all my kde apps
[04:23] <Serveck> how do i get the HEX key for my wireless router?
[04:23] <kveldulf> howdy
[04:23] <kveldulf> anyone alive here?
[04:23] <Serveck> yea
[04:24] <kveldulf> oh wow
[04:24] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: http://pastebin.com/m52b5f1c7 is how I have mine set up, you can see how I do the dual display with the screen0 and 1 at the bottom.
[04:24] <kveldulf> cool
[04:24] <Shihan> hi guys, is there an ubuntu sparc channel?
[04:24] <torpedo|dog> Serveck: did you set a normal passphrase to your router, in regular english?
[04:24] <torpedo|dog> (or whatever language)
[04:24] <travisat> I didn't know ubuntu supported sparc
[04:24] <Serveck> yes, its a passphrase
[04:24] <tritium> travisat: unofficial port
[04:24] <travisat> ah
[04:24] <Serveck> its 10 characters
[04:24] <torpedo|dog> you should be able to type that in
[04:24] <Shihan> i dont think it an unofficial port at all
[04:24] <Serveck> i did, will not connect
[04:24] <tritium> travisat: let me clarify, official for now.  Unofficial next release.
[04:24] <strabes> is anyone else's rhythmbox unable to play after resuming from suspend?
[04:24] <Serveck> ill brb guys
[04:25] <dseomn> happyface_: "apt-get remove libqt3-mt" should get rid of everything that uses QT (the layer under KDE)
[04:25] <Shihan> in fact, im pretty sure sun and ubuntu partnered to bring out ubuntu sparc... iirc
[04:25] <basilf> anyone upgrade to 8.04
[04:25] <Housefly7k> Hi, I ran the memtest86 on a laptop, I got a couple of errors which I took a picture of, And midway the computer just froze and gave a black screen
[04:25] <tritium> Shihan: dropped for next release
[04:25] <Housefly7k> Any help interpreting the errors?
[04:25] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: looking through that, a lot of those comments are someone elses, so I have done some cut-pasting from somewhere to get that working
[04:25] <Shihan> bummer.. never really gotten ubuntu sparc to work yet...
[04:25] <kveldulf> is this the right place to ask about networking stuff (involving wifi and evdo)?
[04:25] <happyface_> dseomn: the kubuntu login says it cant find the graphical login, and gives me a less-graphical login window
[04:25] <travisat> I knew debian was supported on sparc, so its not that great a leap
[04:25] <tritium> Shihan: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html
[04:25] <balthazargu1> Hey all, I know this is the Ubuntu room, but everyone is away at the WInehq room... I have a problem with Wine showing all of my game when I'm running it.
[04:26] <balthazargu1> With Wine Not showing all of my game*
[04:26] <troxor> Housefly7k: bad ram ;)
[04:26] <dseomn> happyface_: "apt-get install gdm kdm-" will get you using the gnome login screen
[04:26] <Shihan> yeah, thats kewl... i've been using 7.04 and 6.06 anyways
[04:26] <torpedo|dog> heh, the moment I ask about my java browser woes, they go away :)
[04:27] <guardoftheguards> frozenskunk: from here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out#head-9603941b9f3a3f4667cc4dd1a9eb74d376d3f39f
[04:27] <Housefly7k> troxor: the laptop is my friends and although it has vista :curse: I thought i would run the memtest from the live cd
[04:27] <basilf> I have a Acer Aspire 5050 5430 and can't install Linux locks at the start
[04:27] <Housefly7k> troxor: it keeps randomly restarting and dying so i figured it may be a RAM issue
[04:27] <Shihan> wasnt that important anyways, just wanted to try get some recent hw from sun running sparc just to annoy the sun sales guy
[04:28] <palomer> my computer shuts down when I leave it idle for a long time
[04:28] <palomer> why??!
[04:28] <kveldulf> does anyone know how i can sorta...bridge a wifi connection to evdo?
[04:29] <Starnestommy> palomer: it's either your power settings or your batter
[04:29] <Starnestommy> *battery
[04:29] <Piffer> palomer: also how long is "a long time" ?
[04:29] <kveldulf> like so data on a wireless network that isn't connected to the outside world can be sent through a laptop with an evdo card in it?
[04:29] <sboysel> is it a laptop?
[04:29] <maynards-girl> 21 days until the release?
[04:30] <Piffer> kveldulf... ?
[04:30] <kveldulf> Piffer: ?
[04:30] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: It's possible, I know that I have read the part of that about setting up the 350 output and configuring it for X, but I remember having problems when I enabled the 350 in myth settings, and I don't have it enabled now. The comments in my xorg.conf are from somewhere else I think, so I must have had to look elasewhere...
[04:30] <dseomn> donkey ?
[04:31] <Piffer> last thing you said... made no sense...
[04:31] <frozenskunk> guardoftheguards: Sorry I'm being so vague, it's been almost a year since I got mine going...
[04:31] <kveldulf> i have a wireless router that i can connect to with the laptop
[04:31] <Piffer> ok
[04:31] <kveldulf> but the router is just...on it's own, it doesn't have an internet connection
[04:31] <Piffer> ok
[04:31] <kveldulf> but i do have an evdo card in my laptop
[04:32] <RAV> Before i nag the whole lot of you, just wanna say Hello, how yall doing?
[04:32] <Gilou> kveldulf> if "evdo" has something like IP, you probably can, yes
[04:32] <kveldulf> and i want to direct traffic that is being sent to my laptop through the wireless router over evdo to a server out on the internets
[04:32] <palomer> Starnestommy, how do I change my power setting (im on a desktop)
[04:32] <Piffer> ah, you would have to configure your laptop to act as a gateway, and then point the default gateway on the router to point to your laptop. Then anyone on the wifi can get online...
[04:32] <kveldulf> ahhh
[04:32] <palomer> Piffer, I don't know how long but every time I leave I come back and its off
[04:32] <kveldulf> that makes sense
[04:32] <Piffer> easier said than done... as I'm not a guru by a long shot :-0
[04:33] <kveldulf> yeah, but that is the best explanation i've had so far tonight
[04:33] <Starnestommy> palomer: system > preferences > power management?
[04:33] <happyface_> dseomn: that command fixed it, thanks! (it also doesnt need me to restart anymore)... can you help me fix my broken multisession bash terminals? :)
[04:33] <Piffer> good..
[04:33] <Piffer> also kveldulf, you from Norway?
[04:33] <Gilou> you could also directly bridge it for real, but something using masquerading or source nat will probably be easier to setup
[04:33] <frozenskunk> kveldulf: Evdo has lot's of issues, dropping connections all the time is one of them...
[04:33] <manguy> what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude exactly?
[04:33] <kveldulf> Piffer: nope, just liked the guy in the story
[04:33] <dseomn> happyface_: no prob, but I'm going to bed soon, so I'll only help if it's quick
[04:33] <Gilou> how good is "evdo"
[04:34] <Gilou> we have 3G+ here
[04:34] <ozkUGH> hi im curious if xubuntu install cd has wicd on it? or does it install it already during installation?
[04:34] <Gilou> how does it relate
[04:34] <kveldulf> you know, i'm not sure if it's evdo or 3g
[04:34] <Starnestommy> manguy: aptitude has an interactive interface when you run it with no arguments
[04:34] <kveldulf> its a verizon 5750 pcmcia card
[04:34] <happyface_> ok, well they worked semi-ok before... the resolution was a bit off, but now it shows a black screen dseomn
[04:34] <manguy> Starnestommy: ahh ok, thanks
[04:34] <kveldulf> but it seems pretty fast
[04:34] <frozenskunk> Gilou depends on your area, I have it and don't like it much, but a LOT of that is the stupid piece of &*&^% Linksys router I that I have...
[04:34] <RAV> I have a brand new a6460t HP pavilion PC. And it has a built in wireless card. But when i installed Ubuntu 7.04 it will recognize it, but when i select my network, it says 'connected to wireless at (0%)'  and i can asure you that the router is less then 5 feet away.

[04:34] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod
[04:35] <chipbuddy> !rockbox
[04:35] <ubotu> rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started!
[04:35] <dseomn> happyface_: laptop or desktop? lcd or crt?
[04:36] <chipbuddy> does anyone have an ipod they use with rhythmbox? i've got a fairly straightforward question
[04:36] <bazhang> RAV: what wireless card type lspci in the terminal and report please (just one line)
[04:36] <happyface_> dseomn: desktop, I switched from an LCD to a CRT recently
[04:36] <happyface_> dseomn: not to mention, the CRT I switched to has a lower resolution
[04:36] <dseomn> happyface_: is that when the problem showed up?
[04:36] <bazhang> chipbuddy: newest ipod? then need to compile libgpod 0.6.0 or wait for next release in three weeks
[04:36] <travisat> chipbuddy: I use it on a different mp3 player
[04:37] <happyface_> dseomn: possibly, I haven't used this PC in awhile
[04:37] <chipbuddy> bazhang, i've been able to use it just fine (putting songs on and off), i just want to know if there's a way to see the total amount of time currently on the ipod
[04:37] <chipbuddy> i can manually add up all the numbers, but it's kind of a pain
[04:37] <dseomn> happyface_: can you post the output of "grep vga= /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep defoptions=" please (it should only be 1 line)
[04:37] <bazhang> chipbuddy: not sure about rhythmbox; amarok does that just fine though
[04:37] <happyface_> ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
[04:38] <happyface_> dseomn: ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
[04:38] <chipbuddy> bazhang, ok thanks, i'll try that
[04:38] <dseomn> happyface_: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, and get rid of "vga=791 " from that line
[04:38] <bastid_raZor> is the bot still dead?
[04:38] <dseomn> happyface_: then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot if there are no errors
[04:38] <kahtov> !
[04:39] <bazhang> bastid_raZor: the !info seems to be not working atm
[04:39] <Testing> Hey there i just got my new computer today, it has a HD 2600XT Radeon gphx card, which of the Ati driver release's should i be using for it?
[04:39] <dseomn> happyface_: that will decrease your resolution by a lot, but it should work at least
[04:39] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; okay.. i was wanting to pick its brain on samba
[04:39] <dseomn> * text-mode resolution
[04:39] <bazhang> !samba
[04:39] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[04:39] <kveldulf_> heh
[04:39] <Testing> !xorg
[04:39] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:39] <Kleber_0> small
[04:40] <kveldulf_> so apparently pulling out the pcmcia card at the wrong time doesn't make ubuntu happy
[04:40] <happyface_> dseomn: if you notice, it seems the vga=791 is in comments, and the code doesn't actually execute
[04:40] <nikrud> Testing the one on ati's site, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide is kinda involved, but works properly with gutsy
[04:40] <dseomn> happyface_: I know, but it's a special kind of commen, read "man update-grub" if you're interested
[04:40] <bazhang> might make it freeze up KveldUlf
[04:40] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; i notice !samba refers to windows shares.. what about from one ubuntu box to another on the same network?
[04:40] <bazhang> !nfs
[04:40] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[04:40] <KveldUlf> bazhang: indeed it did
[04:40] <Kleber_0>  8-) assunto é o que não falta
[04:40] <metbsd> what ports does samba smbd and nmbd use?
[04:41] <troxor> bastid_raZor: scp works too
[04:41] <bazhang> portuguese Kleber_0?
[04:41] <nikrud> happyface_ that commented line is used by update-grub to construct the uncommented section between BEGIN DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC and END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC
[04:41] <bastid_raZor> troxor; true. i'm trying to mount /mp3 from one box to another.
[04:41] <RAV> Well im dual booting right now so i cannot enter that command right now. But i looked at it in my device manager and it says USB wireless but its built in, i dont understand. And does it help that the WIRE connection does not work either?
[04:41] <dseomn> happyface_: oops, sorry
[04:41] <dseomn> happyface_: ignore what I said, you're right
[04:42] <happyface_> :O
[04:42] <nikrud> dseomn no, your instructions were correct
[04:42] <troxor> bastid_raZor: you can use the gnome connect to server mechanism, selecting the ssh option
[04:42] <bazhang> RAV: kind of hard to troubleshoot without direct access; in that case it would be lsusb
[04:42] <u-it> I am trying to backup files to a network directory... but I dont know how to reference network directories from bash... (using ubuntu)
[04:42] <u-it> can anyone help?
[04:42] <happyface_> dseomn: I tried it anyway, and it just added the vga=791 back into menu.lst
[04:43] <dseomn> nikrud: see the part "e.g."
[04:43] <bastid_raZor> troxor; where might that be? is that a GUI type setup?
[04:43] <RAV> bazbang: Is there any reason why the WIRED connection does not work? and when i click the icon in the coner next to the clock the WIRED connection is greyed out
[04:43] <nikrud> happyface_ dseomn hahah misplaced your for example I see
[04:43] <troxor> bastid_raZor: yep, it's in the places menu, if you want a completely CLI way to do it, sshfs is good
[04:43] <dseomn> happyface_: go to the line under that, and add "vga=771 " right before "quiet"
[04:43] <Zelta> I need some help with getting flash to work in Firefox 3 beta
[04:44] <bastid_raZor> troxor; ahh.. i'm blind 'connect to server' .. either way is fine.. i just need to learn how to do it
[04:44] <dseomn> nikrud: yeah, the whole "#" vs. "##" thing is confusing when you can't read
[04:44] <bazhang> RAV: what is the ethernet controller? need direct access to check it out again; best try lspci for that then ifconfig to see if it brings up eth0 and finally sudo dhclient eth0 to get a connection
[04:45] <Testing> im thinking of just installing the restricted drivers the easy way, but what do the latest ati drivers offer compared to the default one which is installed with the restricted driver manager?
[04:45] <RAV> aiight im going to see if i can install IRC client on my iphone to communicate with you while i go to my ubunut
[04:45] <kindofabuzz> use your iphone to iirc while iubuhuntin
[04:45] <kindofabuzz> lol
[04:46] <happyface_> dseomn: I wrote vga=771 at the line before quiet, did a update-grub, and it just reset the menul.lst file and I get a blank screen still
[04:47] <dseomn> happyface_: did you reboot?
[04:47] <happyface_> no sir
[04:47] <happyface_> brb then.
[04:47] <nikrud> Zelta ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin ~/.mozilla/plugins  should work
[04:47] <Zelta> Well, Firefox is installed to ~/firefox
[04:47] <Zelta> Firefox 3 is, at least
[04:48] <Zelta> Firefox 2 is installed to ~/.mozilla/firefox
[04:48] <code_kill> who her is good with web developement?
[04:48] <nikrud> Zelta firefox3 should be using ~/.mozilla/* for config, does firefox3 use your firefox2 bookmarks?
[04:48] <Zelta> No
[04:48] <code_kill> i got a project to better the ubuntu movement, and user experience.
[04:48] <simpletron> hi all
[04:49] <icesword> Dave2, hi
[04:49] <Zelta> nikrud: The thing is, in Firefox 3, it says there is no flash.  In Firefox 2, I can see flash videos (Youtube for example), but when it starts to load, Firefox crashes
[04:49] <bastid_raZor> troxor; awesome.. the GUI is extremely simple. thanks
[04:49] <nikrud> Zelta then ls ~/firefox , see if there's a plugin dir. If not, create it. then  ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-plugin ~/firefox/plugins/
[04:49] <bastid_raZor> troxor; GUI method i should say.
[04:49] <dseomn> Zelta: are you running 64-bit ubuntu?
[04:49] <Zelta> No.
[04:49] <simpletron> i will buy a new thinkpad laptop but i dont know what model between a T61 or T60 what is better?
[04:49] <_gunfire> frozenskunk: It's fine.
[04:50] <nikrud> Zelta that is create the dir ~/firefox/plugins if needed
[04:50] <happyface_> dseomn: no dice :(   I just noticed that I don't get an ubuntu splash screen either when booting
[04:50] <Zelta> okay
[04:50] <code_kill> who wants to maybe discuss a co-op in a "complete driver database" "net search site " to ease the use of ubuntu?
[04:50] <Zelta> There is already that dir
[04:50] <Flannel> code_kill: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good place to ask, not here.
[04:50] <dseomn> happyface_: ok, you should probably just undo the changes I had you make, run update-grub, and keep trying
[04:50] <Masticore> Is it possible to remove the subdirs in the menu in KDE? Instead of Internet>Webbrowsers>Firefox, its just Internet>Firefox, like in Gnome.
[04:51] <dseomn> happyface_: I need to sleep now, sorry
[04:51] <happyface_> thanks anyway, :D
[04:51] <Zelta> nikrud: My Firefox 2 dir looks considerably different than my Firefox 3 one
[04:51] <code_kill> sorry, but wouldn't that fall under here, or more or less just tech support?
[04:51] <code_kill> sorry bout that
[04:52] <Zelta> nikrud: I think the problem may lie in that I used automatix2 for acquiring flash codecs originally (I realize it is not supported and not recommended)
[04:52] <nikrud> Zelta the ~/.mozilla/firefox dir is config, you would need to look at /usr/lib/firefox would be more likely to resemble your ~/firefox
[04:52] <Wikstrom> Hey guys whats up?
[04:52] <alan_m> it would fall under discussions to the server team maybe, code_kill, but...yeah......whatever it falls under...this isnt the place.
[04:52] <bazhang> simpletron: whichever has the intel wireless is the best choice
[04:52] <code_kill> hey wikstrom
[04:52] <alan_m> hey Wikstrom
[04:52] <nikrud> Zelta that install is pretty safe
[04:53] <Wikstrom> so whats the topic so far?
[04:53] <troxor> bastid_raZor: np
[04:53] <bazhang> Wikstrom: read /topic
[04:53] <Zelta> Well, .mp3 files crash Rythmbox music player, also, nikrud
[04:53] <Flannel> code_kill: Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're saying.  Like I said, you should bring it up in -offtopic
[04:53] <Zelta> So I think it is not entirely Firefox's fault
[04:53] <nikrud> Zelta heh. automatix does do things
[04:53] <nikrud> Zelta have you tried linking that plugin into ~/firefox/plugins yet?
[04:54] <Zelta> I just did
[04:54] <Zelta> I will have to exit as I am using chatzilla.  brb
[04:56] <Wikstrom> so just by show of what every you feel like who is using beryl?
[04:57] <Zelta> nikrud: I did it, but Firefox 3 still tells me I need the download a plugin
[04:57] <alabamahit> Did xChat just release a new version?
[04:57] <bazhang> compiz-fusion is it now not beryl Wikstrom
[04:57] <iNoob> Is there anything similar to boot camp (on os x) that runs on linux and will compile a list of drivers for my hardware to work with XP for a dual boot?
[04:58] <Wikstrom> oh ya lol sorry
[04:58] <nikrud> Zelta ls -l  /etc/alternatives/firefox-plugin , is that red?
[04:58] <Wikstrom> slip of the tounge
[04:58] <Flannel> alabamahit: no
[04:58] <Wikstrom> wine
[04:58] <Zelta> No such file or directory
[04:58] <Wikstrom> wine is a windows emularior
[04:58] <Wikstrom> Emulator
[04:58] <bazhang> iNoob: in a vm? or just a straight dual boot
[04:58] <alabamahit> Oh, I just insatlled it and it looks different than the first time i did, lol
[04:58] <Zelta> Wikstrom: Wine Is Not an Emulator
[04:58] <Zelta> :p
[04:58] <iNoob> bazhang: straight dual boot
[04:59] <iNoob> Zelta: is wine not an emulation layer for windows? :P
[04:59] <bazhang> iNoob: not that I am aware of
[04:59] <Zelta> iNoob: Technically, it lets it run natively
[04:59] <Zelta> I think
[04:59] <nikrud> Zelta hah! man, some installs seem to have that, some don't. Is   ls /etc/alternatives/libjava_oji.so  -l   red?
[04:59] <iNoob> Zelta: that's like saying zsnes isnt an emulator because once a game loads, it is running natively
[04:59] <Flannel> iNoob: No, wine is not an emulator.  Its an ABI compatability layer.
[05:00] <bazhang> api
[05:00] <iNoob> Flannel: OK :P I was just causing trouble
[05:00] <nikrud> wine is a fake.
[05:00] <alabamahit> It's weird there is no User list on the right side anymore. Its on the bottom next to where you trype
[05:00] <iNoob> What would be the best windows compatibility API to use to run photoshop? The problem I had with Wine was the fact that i couldnt make text for some reason
[05:00] <alabamahit> anywho.....I came here to ask a question about my display
[05:00] <Zelta> nikrud: also, no such file or directory
[05:01] <alan_m> alabamahit, just ask it :)
[05:01] <nikrud> Zelta    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree , then check both again
[05:01] <FarmerBobGoesMoo> Quick test to see if this client works
[05:01] <bassinboylp> hey all, how can I turn on LBA support for my old machine (using a 250gb WD)
[05:01] <iNoob> What do you suggest for running windows apps like Photoshop (CS or CS3 works)
[05:01] <Zelta> nikrud: flashplugin-nonfree is already installed
[05:02] <Zelta> It returns "flashplugin-nonfree is already the latest version"
[05:02] <Zelta> iNoob: WINE does not support CS3
[05:02] <FarmerBobGoesMoo> Hello?
[05:02] <FarmerBobGoesMoo> Is anybody here?
[05:02] <Wikstrom> ya im here
[05:02] <bazhang> FarmerBobGoesMoo: yes
[05:02] <iNoob> Zelta: WINE doesnt seem to support CS either :-/
[05:02] <nikrud> Zelta ls -l /etc/alternatives/libjava* , is anything there?
[05:02] <Y-Town> Zelta: Are you trying to get flash to work?
[05:02] <alabamahit> It was working fine and last night I just installed Linux for the first time wOOt <--nOOb :)....But I redone it cause I did alot of stuff and I didnt know what ot undo it. YOu knwo just playing with it :)...but after the re-install it was good and then out of no where the display is messed up..best way to describe is liek the refresh rate is off...or the hertz is wrong<-maybe the same thing....but its right its set to 60 im in US on Ubuntu 7.10
[05:02] <Zelta> Yes, Y-Town
[05:02] <nikrud> FarmerBobGoesMoo actually we're all hiding under the bed
[05:03] <FarmerBobGoesMoo> I knew it
[05:03] <Zelta> nikrud: No, no such file or directory, again
[05:03] <iNoob> Any reason why my monitor might be flickering every so often with ubuntu, but not with windows?
[05:03] <Wikstrom> Im to big for under the bed so im in the dresser
[05:03] <happy-sufferer> ok. i have an odd problem.  currently, my ubuntu 7.10 cannot connect to internet due to wireless pci card problem. I installed Xubuntu 8.04 on a separate partition and wireless card works there. This is now what I want to do: I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04 without using any CD discs. Would it be possible to somehow download all the required files for Ubuntu 8.04 while logged on to Xubuntu 8.04?
[05:03] <Zelta> iNoob: CRT or LCD?
[05:03] <iNoob> lcd
[05:03] <nikrud> Zelta dang, I got a wrong test, do   ls /etc/alternatives/*flash*
[05:03] <alabamahit> lol iNoob sounds the same as me LMAO
[05:03] <alan_m> that...was strange
[05:04] <alabamahit> Mine is LCD also i think, lol
[05:04] <Zelta> Yes, nikrud, that is there
[05:04] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for that happy-sufferer thanks
[05:04] <nikrud> Zelta ok, what did it return?
[05:04] <iNoob> I highly doubt that, alabamahit, and I don't know how you would know since I have never sent voice to you haha
[05:04] <pxwebdev> hi alll
[05:04] <Zelta> Shall I pastebin it or PM?
[05:04] <cyberpass2> hey all...i got the livecd for 7.10 and i copied its contents to a tiny partition (800megs), i want to install from that hard disk...
[05:04] <Y-Town> Zelta: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664242&highlight=adobe+flash+plug
[05:04] <cyberpass2> anyone know how?
[05:04] <cyberpass2> i know its a silly idea, but im in the mood of a mission
[05:05] <nikrud> Zelta just one line, should be. ls -l /etc/alternatives/*flash* -l , gimme one blue one
[05:05] <alabamahit> know what iNoob?
[05:05] <Zelta> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin
[05:05] <iNoob> but yeah.. does anyone know why my LCD would be flickering for some reason in Linux but not windows?
[05:05] <Zelta> And others are listed too, like xulrunner, and midbrowser
[05:05] <happy-sufferer> bazhang: but it's not really a ubuntu+1 issue.
[05:05] <bazhang> cyberpass2: that likely will not work; if you want a challenge you could mount the iso and run from that; there is also wubi, lubi and unetbootin
[05:05] <ubuntu> I have GRUB installed (just installed 7.10), but when I boot my computer it just goes straight to Vista.  How can I fix this?
[05:06] <pxwebdev> noob that sounds like you have the wrong monitor hrz selected or the wrong monitor chosen in the display section
[05:06] <bazhang> happy-sufferer: aye it is; all Hardy discussion there thanks
[05:06] <nikrud> Zelta hm, I think I had you link that into ~/firefox/plugins at the beginning.
[05:06] <cyberpass2> oooh ok....so mount the iso and run the install from that
[05:06] <cyberpass2> how do u do that?
[05:06] <nikrud> Zelta are you on hardy?
[05:06] <happy-sufferer> bazhang: don't you think it's a special case.... it's like if i were to ask how to go from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 7.10 while logged in to Xubuntu 7.10, don't you think?
[05:06] <alabamahit> pxwebdev mine is doing the same...but i have checked the hrz and they are right...what is the other options it might be?
[05:06] <Zelta> No, Gutsy
[05:07] <bazhang> !hardy | happy-sufferer
[05:07] <ubotu> happy-sufferer: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[05:07] <happy-sufferer> bazhang: i know about hardy.
[05:07] <bazhang> happy-sufferer: please I have asked three times already that is the place
[05:07] <palomer> how do I play rmvb in ubuntu?
[05:07] <Sheeb> hey if i registered a name how can i find out my password again (i think i setup and email when i first registered it)
[05:07] <nikrud> Zelta so, ls ~/firefox/plugins/*flash* -l, is that blue, and pointing at /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin?
[05:07] <bazhang> alabamahit: pastebin your xorg.conf please
[05:08] <Zelta> No, that returns no such file or directory...
[05:08] <alabamahit> bazhang: ? sorry didn't understand.
[05:09] <Y-Town> Zelta: did you install adobe flash from the repos and it just doesnt work?  id that whats going on?

[05:09] <Kartel_> i need help installing ubuntu
[05:09] <Steven1> Anyone know how to use Cadega and what it is exactly?
[05:09] <xin000> Hi there! How can setup the default behavior of ls to display colorful scheme?:)
[05:09] <nikrud> Zelta then   ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin ~/firefox/plugins/
[05:09] <Zelta> Y-Town: It was working before, and now it is not working in Firefox 2 or Firefox 3.
[05:09] <Kartel_> my system is giving all sorts of areas in the boot screen after i select to install the software
[05:09] <Kartel_> can anyone here help
[05:09] <Y-Town> Zelta: AHHH OK
[05:09] <Kartel_> this is my first time using linux
[05:09] <bazhang> Steven1: it is the commercial version of wine; more info in #winehq it lets you run windows apps under linux
[05:09] <pxwebdev> have you tried changing the resolution?
[05:10] <Zelta> nikrud: Now ls ~/firefox/plugins/*flash* -l returns blue
[05:10] <nikrud> Zelta check it again (firefox flash)
[05:10] <Zelta> Will I need to restart Firefox, do you imagine?
[05:10] <Kartel_> :(
[05:10] <Steven1> bazhang. Ok I figured so. But I can't figure out how to run it.
[05:10] <nikrud> Zelta for ff3 . Maybe, maybe not.
[05:10] <hobbzilla> Hey all!  I have run DNS/postfix/apache/mysql all on the same server and I realize it is _faster_ than running them all in their own virtual instance, but curious as to other people's thoughts about seperating them out.
[05:10] <alabamahit> bazhang: did you want me to paste my xorg.conf file?
[05:10] <Zelta> well it isn't working without a restart, so let me see
[05:10] <bazhang> alabamahit: aye to pastebin do you know the address?
[05:11] <Kartel_> hd:error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x03 asc: 0x02 ascq:0x00
[05:11] <Kartel_> what does this mean
[05:11] <palomer> no sound is coming out of realplayer
[05:12] <[HeMp]> hey anyone can give me some help ?
[05:12] <Zelta> nikrud: Sweet, it worked!  Thanks a lot :)
[05:12] <nikrud> !ask | [HeMp]
[05:12] <ubotu> [HeMp]: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[05:12] <alan_m> [HeMp]: not unless you tell us whats going on
[05:12] <[HeMp]> i just bought a new wlan card
[05:12] <alabamahit> bazhang: yeah i found that file before its /etc/X11/xorg.conf right? but if i copy and paste it here it would flood? is that what you want me to do?
[05:12] <nikrud> Zelta if I hadn't had a typo in the very first line I gave you, we wouldn't have had to do all this troubleshooting ;)
[05:12] <[HeMp]> tew 443 pi
[05:12] <Zelta> hahah
[05:12] <[HeMp]> and ubuntu 7.10 recognized it
[05:12] <[HeMp]> but i wanna use kismet

[05:13] <pxwebdev> how can I get gusty gibbon to display my drives in kde or gnome?
[05:13] <nikrud> xin000 add the line   alias ls='ls --color'    to  ~/.bashrc, then open a fresh terminal
[05:13] <Kartel_> free cookies to the person who helps me solve my problem
[05:13] <pxwebdev> sorry they are SCSI raid drives
[05:14] <alabamahit> bazhang: I just started linux last night......are you saying to take a scrren shot or something else? I am very confussed, sorry...
[05:14] <[HeMp]> should i remove the restricted driver Atheros and use only madwifi ?
[05:14] <rav> bazgang: I'm in ubuntu now, my wired connection is still not working.
[05:14] <Kartel_> help!
[05:15] <[HeMp]> someone ?
[05:15] <[HeMp]> help!
[05:15] <bazhang> alabamahit: no worries here is the easiest method-- sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit which will give you a url to paste here thanks
[05:15] <Gekz> I have been asked to remaster a Ubuntu cd to include ClamAV >_> Is this easy?
[05:15] <nikrud> Kartel_ could you try asking the question again, but with a little more detail? The first one wasn't very clear
[05:15] <FAJALOU> ok friend trying to install battlefield
[05:15] <alan_m> [hemp], can you try putting all that on ONE line and tell us again whats going on?
[05:15] <FAJALOU> not working
[05:15] <Kartel_> ok
[05:15] <FAJALOU> any ideas suggestions
[05:15] <[HeMp]> ok
[05:15] <[HeMp]> i edited kismet.conf
[05:15] <xin000> nikrud: Thanks a lot!:-D
[05:15] <Kartel_> i tried installing ubuntu on my system
[05:15] <alabamahit> bazhang: what does pastebinit do? exactly. Im diong that now but I want to learn linux :) what exactly does that do?
[05:15] <Kartel_> i have 2 300 gb hard drives
[05:16] <Kartel_> 5 partitions in all
[05:16] <FAJALOU> he went through like you should do in sim city 4, put all disks on computer, and run
[05:16] <Kartel_> all ntfs
[05:16] <bazhang> rav: try ifconfig in the terminal and see if that gives you eth0 and lo; if so then try sudo dhclient eth0 to connect
[05:16] <FAJALOU> but not working
[05:16] <nikrud> Kartel_ one line, please
[05:16] <Kartel_> k
[05:16] <palomer> where do I get w32codecs?
[05:16] <[HeMp]> i do : sudo kismet -> and Server options:  none

[05:16] <alteregoa> high
[05:16] <FAJALOU> palomer
[05:16] <alteregoa> whats the default dir for firmware b43?
[05:16] <Kartel_> my problem is when i try to install ubuntu onto my system it give me errors like this hd:error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x03 asc: 0x02 ascq:0x00
[05:16] <bazhang> alabamahit: that pastes whatever you pipe ( | ) to it and gives you a url to paste here--very handy indeed
[05:16] <FAJALOU> have you tried sudo apt-cache search w32codecs
[05:17] <alteregoa> _ /lib/firmware?
[05:17] <nikrud> Kartel_ basically you need to make a partition free for ubuntu to use, empty out one (at least 15gb) and go to the installer again
[05:17] <FAJALOU> palomer have you tried sudo apt-cache search w32codecs
[05:17] <Zelta> also, does anyone know if doing a hard shutdown in XP will stop me from mounting the NTFS partitions that Windows XP uses?
[05:17] <bazhang> FAJALOU: no need for sudo there
[05:17] <Kartel_> i do have a free partition
[05:17] <Odd-rationale> Zelta: yes
[05:17] <alan_m> ok, ill be back in a bit folks....something else needs my undivided attention.
[05:17] <nikrud> Kartel_ is it a hardware raid thing? If so, I have to bow out, I've never used raid
[05:17] <Zelta> Okay, just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong
[05:17] <FAJALOU> i bazhang i just throw it in front of most, just in case
[05:17] <Odd-rationale> Zelta: You must shutdown properly. or else you a force mount
[05:18] <Zelta> Problem is, XP takes around 10 minutes to shutdown ><
[05:18] <bazhang> palomer: from www.medibuntu.org the install instructions are on the site
[05:18] <alabamahit> bazhang: so it uploads a file or just make taht file acessable for other peopel to view?
[05:18] <Zelta> But I have a bigger hard drive problem
[05:18] <FAJALOU> zelta do you dual boot or is it a one time deal?
[05:18] <Zelta> Ubuntu will not recognize an external hard drive
[05:18] <Zelta> FAJALOU: Dual boot
[05:18] <bazhang> alabamahit: both if you paste the url here
[05:18] <Zelta> The external hard drive works fine in XP, but isn't even shown in ubuntu
[05:18] <amirman84> has anybody using ubuntu 8.04 had any success getting flash videos to work on firefox?
[05:18] <FAJALOU> ok, well then you would have to force mount, which isn't the best zelta
[05:19] <Kartel_> well itgave these 2 other errors ( buffer I/O code error device, logical block 320985) and this one Squashfs error: unable to read page, block 2709d262
[05:19] <bazhang> amirman84: #ubuntu+1 for that please
[05:19] <friedtofu> when's ubuntu 8.04 coming out?
[05:19] <nikrud> amirman84 hardy questions answered in #ubuntu+1 till release
[05:19] <bazhang> friedtofu: three weeks
[05:19] <Odd-rationale> friedtofu: april 24
[05:19] <rav> bazgang: it says dhcpdiscover on eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> on port 67 interval 4. then it says nobworking leases sleeping
[05:19] <amirman84> thanks
[05:19] <Zelta> FAJALOU: well, I can just boot into XP and shut down correctly, right?
[05:19] <friedtofu> bazhang Odd-rationale - thanks
[05:20] <Kartel_> nikrud what do these errors mean?
[05:20] <nikrud> Zelta see you in a half hour ;)
[05:20] <FAJALOU> yah that should work zelta, it worked for my 2000 partition after i accidently did a hard shutdown
[05:20] <Zelta> bye nikrud
[05:20] <Zelta> okay FAJALOU
[05:20] <alabamahit> http://paste.stgraber.org/2278
[05:20] <Steven1> Ok there is no one speaking in the other channels so can someone please help me with wine-doors, and cedega here?
[05:20] <Zelta> Also, FAJALOU, do you know how I can get ubuntu to recognize an external hard drive I have plugged into via USB?
[05:20] <nikrud> Kartel_ not sure without more context; failing drive? Poor connections?
[05:20] <FAJALOU> at startup?
[05:21] <FAJALOU> or just plug in?
[05:21] <alabamahit> bazhang: So basickally its just uploads a file to paste.stgraber.org
[05:21] <Zelta> Just, any time
[05:21] <alabamahit> ?
[05:21] <Zelta> But, yeah, at startup
[05:21] <bazhang> rav I nearly missed your post--my nick is bazhang not bazbang ;] is this a router connected to a dsl modem or just direct to the dsl modem; also is this gutsy ubuntu?
[05:21] <FAJALOU> i've never tried it,
[05:21] <Zelta> Well, it's plugged in now, and ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize it
[05:21] <Kartel_> hmmm
[05:21] <Zelta> It's not just not mounted, it just isn't shown
[05:21] <FAJALOU> really??? is it just files?
[05:21] <Kartel_> let me try to play with my hardware
[05:21] <Zelta> Yeah
[05:21] <Zelta> I think it is NTFS partitioned
[05:21] <bazhang> alabamahit: aye
[05:21] <Zelta> formatted, rather
[05:21] <nikrud> I still thing it should be bazang , has some pizzaz
[05:21] <alabamahit> Sorry closeed the wrong window
[05:21] <FAJALOU> hmmm, b/c i can see my partition of ntfs fine on the partition zelta
[05:21] <Kartel_> one mroe question should i format the drive in fat 32 or ntfs to install ubuntu?
[05:22] <bazhang> haha nickrud oops nikrud
[05:22] <FAJALOU> try googling usb disk on startup
[05:22] <FAJALOU> or something like that.
[05:22] <Zelta> okay
[05:22] <Steven1> Can someone help me set up Cedega? I went to wine-hq and the cedega channels and no one is talking.
[05:22] <FAJALOU> and that should bring you to ubuntu forums
[05:22] <FAJALOU> or at least some instruction
[05:22] <FAJALOU> when in doubt google it
[05:22] <bazhang> !google | FAJALOU
[05:22] <ubotu> FAJALOU: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux:  http://google.com/linux
[05:22] <pepsi> is there a way i can copy the install cd to a flash drive and boot from that? my optical drive is broken
[05:22] <nikrud> ~install | pepsi there's some instructions here I think
[05:23] <FAJALOU> that's nice
[05:23] <nikrud> !install | pepsi
[05:23] <ubotu> pepsi: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[05:23] <FAJALOU> google-fu?
[05:23] <bazhang> pepsi:  if your computer bios allows it yes
[05:23] <[HeMp]> TEW 443 PI  need help setting kismet
[05:23] <Zelta> FAJALOU: But how would I mount it while it is plugged in, not at startup?  Just so I know it works
[05:23] <nikrud> FAJALOU knowing what search terms to search for
[05:23] <KveldUlf> here we go again
[05:23] <rav> bazhang: sorry, I'm on my phone. I'm in 7.04. and I'm on a router that connects to a cable modem. I had ubuntu on old of and it worked fine.
[05:23] <bazhang> FAJALOU: best not to refer people to google; if you dont know others may thanks
[05:23] <Sefram> i need help with wpa_supplicant
[05:23] <alabamahit> bazhang: did you get the link? I was looking to that site looks good....Looks like you can edit the files for someone.
[05:24] <nikrud> FAJALOU but offering good search terms as a teaching tool is encouraged ;)
[05:24] <[HeMp]> Sefram: i need help setting kismet !!
[05:24] <Steven1> I need help with Cedega. But I seem to have shelled out money on something that does nothing whatsoever.
[05:24] <bazhang> alabamahit: did not see it; could you paste it here please?
[05:24] <mcquaid> i have a buddy who i was going to setup ubuntu for.  he got a new machine that runs vista.  it runs really slow as it only shipped with 512 megs
[05:24] <nikrud> Steven1 the cedega site has support forums for paying customers iirc
[05:24] <alabamahit> bazhang: http://paste.stgraber.org/2278
[05:25] <Sefram> HeMp: sorry I dint tried kismet yet
[05:25] <bazhang> alabamahit: thanks looking now
[05:25] <mcquaid> anyway, problem is, he only uses dialup.  i checked the ubuntu hardware compatibility and it only listed 1 modem
[05:25] <TheDarkBGM> hi every 1
[05:25] <Steven1> Oh ok. Cause the irc channels are dead for it.
[05:25] <Steven1> Thanks nikrud
[05:25] <Kartel_> does ubuntu support other amd proccesors other than  amd 64 ?
[05:25] <Zelta> can anything bad happen if I force mount?
[05:25] <FAJALOU> i would think so
[05:25] <Zelta> I mean, probably there are bad things that COULD happen, but could anything happen realistically?
[05:25] <alabamahit> bazhang: Do you have to say the persons name with a : to highliht that post or just say there name in what you type. xChat is wht I'm using.
[05:25] <mcquaid> i know softmodems uses proprietary stuff, but i thought things must have settled by now
[05:25] <Steven1> Also nikrud. Is Wine-doors the same as Cedega or is it a different program altogether?
[05:25] <mcquaid> i mean, how much can softmodems really be changing at this point?
[05:26] <Sefram> HeMp: why not use airodump-ng?
[05:26] <nikrud> mcquaid he should get a hardware modem with a uart chip, and hook it up to a serial port. Only really easy way to do do dialup in linux.
[05:26] <mcquaid> anyway i saw there are those commercial drivers. is that the only option?
[05:26] <nikrud> Steven1 different I think, but don't take me as a wine expert. I think wine is a cheat
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Steven1, Different program ( though forked from wine a long time ago Cediga is not wine )
[05:26] <Zelta> plus, Cedega costs money D:
[05:26] <mcquaid> nikrud, i saw that listed, i doubt he'll buy a modem for linux.  new users don't understand that they can't use their existing hardware
[05:26] <TheDarkBGM> any 1 here fun f@h on ubuntu cause i need help running it
[05:27] <Sefram> ubotu: wpa_supplicant pid
[05:27] <mcquaid> anyway, doesn't ndiswrapper use the binary drivers to make wireless nics work?  couldn't the same thing be applied to modems?
[05:27] <Steven1> That wasn't the question though Jordan_U. I was asking if Cadega and Wine-doors are the same prog. Not wine.
[05:27] <mcquaid> meaning windows binary drivers
[05:27] <nikrud> mcquaid some software modems do work, you can go to  linmodems.org for the latest info
[05:27] <rav> bahang: I'm on 7.04 and I have a router with cable modem. my old pc worked with my Internet.
[05:27] <mcquaid> linmodems sells their drivers
[05:27] <Zelta> Stephen1: No, they are not the same
[05:27] <Steven1> Ok thanks
[05:28] <rav> bazhang*
[05:28] <Jordan_U> Steven1, I know, and I was saying that they are not, but because wine-doors uses wine they are very similar and share some code
[05:28] <Zelta> Steven1: Wine-Doors is to be used in conjunction with WINE
[05:28] <Sefram> ubotu: where can i find wpa_supplicant start script?
[05:28] <bazhang> alabamahit: you can usually just type three or four letters then hit tab to complete their name like I do alab <tab> for your name and you can see the highlight--you say the res is really low on that monitor--how did you install the drivers and perhaps you might want to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg the horizsync and vertrefresh seem a bit on the low side
[05:28] <nikrud> mcquaid I think you're thinking of a different group. conexant sells their drivers, but you can get a free one that works up to 14.4 I think
[05:28] <Zelta> Steven1: It is basically a package management system for Windows Apps insatlled in WINE
[05:28] <sjovan> okay... where is this? Go to the Run dialog in Gnome
[05:29] <Steven1> sjovan: Alt+F2
[05:29] <Sefram> ubotu:wpa_supplicant
[05:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpa_supplicant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:29] <sjovan> Steven1: thanks
[05:29] <IcemanV9> Sefram: in the /etc directory
[05:29] <bazhang> rav: any reason not to try out gutsy livecd and see if that catches your ethernet? also could you pastebin your sources.list
[05:29] <Steven1> Your welcome
[05:29] <Riekal> alright:)
[05:30] <sjovan> awsome! anda a Fish: Go to the Run dialog in Gnome and type "free the fish.” Click the Run button
[05:30] <mcquaid> ah well.  it's shame, lots of us are on highspeed but there is probably a good chunk of people on dialup that can't use linux
[05:30] <tocmo0nlord> what is a good game to play here ?
[05:30] <Sefram> IcemanV9 : yes i know but i need to manage the pid files for wpa_supplicant from inside my shell script. Do you have any ideas how to do that?
[05:30] <tocmo0nlord> im seriously bored of tron
[05:30] <nikrud> mcquaid I lived on dialup for a long time, but I did buy a hardware modem ;)
[05:31] <xb3rt> tocmo0nlord: do you play alien arena 08
[05:31] <Riekal> lol
[05:31] <Riekal> wtf is my IRC window resizing on its own?
[05:31] <bazhang> tocmo0nlord: that is offtopic here--check the ubuntuforums gaming section thanks
[05:31] <mcquaid> nikrud, maybe i'm mistaken i'll check linmodems again, but i don't see anywhere what modems are supported and what drivers are avail.  there is a list but the link is dead
[05:31] <mcquaid> nikrud, yes good old hardware isa modems
[05:31] <Zelta> Where can I get a list of obotu commands to be used with the preceding "!"?
[05:31] <alteregoa> yeah
[05:31] <alteregoa> i think it supports power pc
[05:31] <IcemanV9> Sefram: pgrep wpa ?
[05:31] <Zelta> !help
[05:31] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:32] <bazhang> Zelta: you can /msg ubotu in a private message or go to his home ;]
[05:32] <tocmo0nlord> whoa
[05:32] <alteregoa> but if you need some weird hardware like mipsel or mips, try debian
[05:32] <Zelta> Thanks
[05:32] <tocmo0nlord> a game for linux thats 160mb!!!
[05:32] <tocmo0nlord> thats crazy
[05:32] <alabamahit> bazhang: Um...I installed it orgianally with the install of ubuntu a window opened on first boot letting me enable it....Then oiut fo now where it started doing that weird stuff. Its like the refresh rate is wrong...the screen is wiggling (jumping)
[05:32] <alteregoa> only 160mb
[05:32] <Steven1> Wow that was simple enough. I can't believe I didn't get it sooner. It was just 'gksudo cedega' lol
[05:32] <bazhang> offtopic alteregoa
[05:33] <alteregoa> i used judo or taek
[05:33] <dreamnid>
[05:34] <bazhang> alteregoa: please read /topic thanks
[05:34] <Sefram> IcemanV9: i need the pid of the process for a specific interface, pidof or pgrep only gives me pids of all running processes...
[05:34] <Steven1> Well thanks guys. I'm gonna logout now so I can conserve resources.
[05:34] <tocmo0nlord> whats the maximum speed supported for pppod and evdo ?
[05:34] <z987k> anyone know of a free fat32 recovery tool?
[05:35] <Riekal> z987k recovery of what?
[05:35] <tocmo0nlord> i put 1000000 but it says its not supported on the logs
[05:35] <z987k> a file that was deleted
[05:35] <IcemanV9> Sefram: ah. well. check /var/run directory
[05:35] <Sefram> IcemanV9: When i start something from within a shell script: is there a way to get the pid of this child process?
[05:35] <Riekal> z987k sec PM
[05:35] <FAJALOU> z987k, tried trash bin?
[05:35] <bastid_raZor> Sefram; ps aux|grep something
[05:35] <z987k> yeah... it's a flash drive
[05:36] <Riekal> oh hell lol
[05:36] <Riekal> well
[05:36] <Riekal> sec
[05:36] <z987k> should work the same though right?
[05:36] <Sefram> IcemanV9: there is ./wpa_supplicant/eth1 but no pid files
[05:36] <sjovan> haahaha. sudo apt-get moo
[05:37] <IcemanV9> Sefram: dhclient.eth1.pid
[05:37] <Riekal> well i cant say that
[05:38] <Sefram> IcemanV9: yes but that is not wpa_supplicant ?
[05:38] <kikr> Hi, how can I flush the dns?
[05:38] <Riekal> most recovery tools that i know will recovery from FAT FAT32 NTFS and EXT2
[05:38] <z987k> Riekal: it hasn't been written to since and hasn't been unplugged yet
[05:38] <alabamahit> bazhang: I did that command...it would appear that it didn't do anything
[05:38] <bazhang> alabamahit: with a restart?
[05:38] <alabamahit> oh
[05:38] <alabamahit> brb
[05:38] <alabamahit> sorry
[05:38] <z987k> Riekal: got a name of a program I can look at?
[05:39] <bastid_raZor> sjovan; how do you stop the fish from coming back?
[05:40] <sjovan> bastid_raZor: i haven't figured that part out yet :P i'm going to ps aux | grep <--- to finde out. btw, that's a easter egg from gnome :)
[05:40] <bastid_raZor> sjovan; i tried finding it that way.. no joy   :\
[05:41] <interfear> is there a release date in April for 8.04?
[05:41] <jamessfoster> interfear, April 24.
[05:41] <Gilou> 24 iirc
[05:41] <interfear> ok
[05:41] <interfear> thanks
[05:41] <IcemanV9> Sefram: wpa_supplicant is with eth1 ... i don't know what more do you want?
[05:41] <alan_m> 21 days left, can you handle waiting that long interfear?
[05:42] <interfear> alan_m: no not really
[05:42] <sjovan> bastid_raZor: yeah, that didn't help much. if you right click it, then it moves off the screen fast at least :P
[05:42] <alan_m> interfear, how long have you been using ubuntu?
[05:42] <Juzzy`> interfear so just use your sources.list to stay on the bleeding edge :P
[05:43] <Juzzy`> then you'll be up to date when the day comes anywy
[05:43] <sjovan> or left click it... just depends what way you want it to go
[05:43] <alan_m> Juzzy`: i was gonna suggest a beta if he was a old timer to ubuntu,  but yeah that works too......ok hardy discussion stops :)
[05:43] <interfear> I'm just pissed because something has been going really bad with my 7.04 install.. keeps freezing up in X, my mouse/music keeps skipping.. never had these probs before dunno whats going on
[05:43] <sjovan> oh, if you go to help ---> about in utorrent then if you push the button "t", then you can play tetris :)
[05:43] <Flannel> interfear: Try upgrading to 7.10
[05:44] <Sefram> IcemanV9: I need the pid of the process wpa_supplicant for eth1
[05:44] <interfear> I meant 7.10
[05:44] <interfear> sorry
[05:44] <Juzzy`> sjovan yeah knew that :P
[05:44] <alabamahit> bazhang: No didn't work :(
[05:44] <sjovan> bastid_raZor: left click it, and it goes away :)
[05:44] <sjovan> bastid_raZor: doh! nwm...
[05:45] <donkey7186> I have a question I am using rythym box to play radio on it i try to play the radio station from this website http://www.wild955.com/cc-common/hdradio/  ...... and it says that i do not have the right plugins. what do i do so i can play it

[05:46] <sjovan> Star Wars Game: Create a new spreadsheet in the OpenOffice.org Calc. Type "=game()" intoa cell and validate it by pressing Enter. The cell will display, "Say what?" to which your typing finger will reply “=GAME("StarWars")." A new window will open with a little game called Star Wars.
[05:46] <Adantan_Alex> !dual boot mabye this will help me
[05:46] <Zelta> interfear: Do you want a 64-bit OS?
[05:46] <alabamahit> bazhang: I just tested somethign...Its defently somethign to do with the kind of monitor.
[05:46] <Zelta> You can use a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit capable processor.
[05:46] <z987k> Riekal: like your pming me now?
[05:46] <interfear> Zelta: yes my friend wants 64bit ubuntu for his core 2 duo
[05:46] <Zelta> In fact, it is recommended, as 64-bit OS' have a lot of problems

[05:47] <Sefram> IcemanV9: I am starting wpa_supplicant from inside my WLAN start script and only want to kill the wpa_supplicant process i started here when i run my script with a shutdown wlan command later.
[05:47] <Riekal> donkey7186, i think i misunderstood. you are trying to stream internet radio?
[05:47] <Zelta> interfear: Download the x86-64 build then
[05:47] <alabamahit> bazhang: I'm using a TV. LCD flat screen..I just pluged in another monitor and that one worked fine.

[05:47] <mynyml> whenever i send my screen output to the tv (through s-video) for a second time, the tv image becomes black and white - anyone has an idea how that can be fixed?
[05:47] <z987k> Riekal: wtf, it's not showing up
[05:47] <IcemanV9> Sefram: where do you see that in your top or htop?? there are TWO pid's for wpa & eth1, but they are working together.
[05:47] <bazhang> rav you still around?
[05:47] <alabamahit> bazhang: What is weird is last night for hours when I first started on linux it was fine
[05:48] <alabamahit> bazhang: Just ealier it messed up like this...really to me makes no since.
[05:48] <bazhang> alabamahit: hmm; do you recall what changed it?
[05:48] <IcemanV9> Sefram: well, to find out might be the best is to playing around with it 'til you get what you want.
[05:48] <z987k> Riekal: I pmed you, did it show up?
[05:48] <alabamahit> bazhang: It was a fresh install
[05:48] <bastid_raZor> sjovan; if you figure out how to kill the fish leave me a PM.. i'd hate to restart X just to kill the fish
[05:48] <Adantan_Alex> !caps
[05:48] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:48] <Riekal> donkey7186 do you see my typing in the PM?

[05:49] <bazhang> Adantan_Alex: you can /msg ubotu for fun if you wish thanks
[05:49] <z987k> that's wierd
[05:49] <donkey7186> my aim is diesel7186
[05:49] <Riekal> kk
[05:49] <Adantan_Alex> oh yeah
[05:49] <Adantan_Alex> :P
[05:49] <alabamahit> bazhang: I ran the software update and then it messed up.
[05:49] <z987k> Riekal: aim is the same as my s/n here
[05:49] <sjovan> bastid_raZor: i'll guess i could send a e-mail to the gnome team and put up a forumpost :)
[05:49] <alabamahit> bazhang: that was the only thing i can think of.
[05:50] <Adantan_Alex> wow alot of bans....
[05:50] <Sefram> IcemanV9: `ps -A | grep wpa_supplicant` is different to `ps -A | grep dhclient`
[05:50] <bazhang> alabamahit: what res does your card support as opposed to your lcd tv?
[05:50] <alabamahit> bazhang: Yeah last night on linux was fine...and I have never had a problem on windows.
[05:51] <alabamahit> oh what resolution
[05:51] <alabamahit> bazhang: I dont know what resolution...i have always used 1024
[05:52] <Sefram> IcemanV9: `ps -aux | grep "wpa_supplicant start arguments"` or sth like that would do the job, but ps -aux is not available at my target platform...
[05:52] <alabamahit> bazhang: Do you think an older version of ubunut would be better? im useing 7.10
[05:53] <Adantan_Alex> `ok
[05:53] <Adantan_Alex> ok*
[05:54] <bazhang> Adantan_Alex: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for idle chit-chat thanks
[05:54] <krammer_> how can I stop from getting updates of all the languages?
[05:54] <bazhang> alabamahit: extremely doubtful that would do it
[05:55] <Adantan_Alex> what? no im working on ubuntu
[05:55] <alabamahit> bazhang: Fresh start? maybe?
[05:55] <alabamahit> bazhang: Maybe i messed somethign up on install?
[05:55] <Adantan_Alex> i got problems too
[05:55] <Adantan_Alex> when my install is complete
[05:55] <mynyml> whenever i send my screen output to the tv (through s-video) for a second time, the tv image becomes black and white - anyone has an idea how that can be fixed?
[05:56] <Adantan_Alex> it stops
[05:56] <bazhang> alabamahit: try the livecd and see if that catches it; cant imagine what you could have done as long as you did not use envy or automatix which both can breakage
[05:57] <bazhang> Adantan_Alex: please describe your issue with some precision and if someone knows they will help
[05:57] <alabamahit> bazhang: what is envy or automatiz?
[05:57] <bazhang> alabamahit: system-breakers
[05:57] <drewby> Hello, I am having immense trouble getting the MIME type video/divx added to firefox.  Firefox is set up to use mplayer on my machine.

[05:58] <alabamahit> i will try my livecd be right back.
[05:58] <IcemanV9> Sefram: same as pgrep wpa_supplicant & pgrep dhclient; yes, wpa is before dhclient. i don't know anymore than that to help you to achieve what you want.

[05:59] <nikrud> Lil please don't dothat
[05:59] <bazhang> Lil: please stop now
[05:59] <ComputerPassion> Anyone mind helping me. I have been trying to find a way using smb to set specific user permissions on specific folders does anyone know how to do that?
[05:59]  * nikrud hides from bazhang's pointy stick
[05:59] <Adantan_Alex> ok so when my installation of ubuntu gets to 100 percent
[05:59] <Adantan_Alex> it doesnt do anything soz for the enter
[06:00] <nikrud> Adantan_Alex you'd better clear some space before you do that
[06:00] <Adantan_Alex> what? i got 20 gigabytes
[06:00] <nikrud> Adantan_Alex ah, misunderstood
[06:00] <nikrud> Adantan_Alex read that as you're 20gb getting full from use
[06:00] <Adantan_Alex> then when i restart it sais filed to boot Oprating System
[06:00] <drewby> How can I get I get firefox to use mplayer to handle embeds of type video/divx
[06:01] <nikrud> drewby install mozilla-mplayer , and remove totem-mozilla
[06:01] <Adantan_Alex> how ever i did fix that.... twice i also checked discs and no problems
[06:01] <Sefram> IcemanV9: thx anyways...
[06:01] <bazhang> Adantan_Alex: try entering the grub menu
[06:01] <ComputerPassion> anyone any good with smb?
[06:01] <nikrud> Adantan_Alex it got to the point opening the cd drive and saying to remove the disk and reboot?
[06:01] <drewby> nikrud: I'm using mozilla-mplayer.
[06:02] <nikrud> drewby did you remove totem-mozilla?
[06:02] <Adantan_Alex> the second time....
[06:02] <drewby> yes
[06:02] <amenado> gnome-appearance-properties on mine just freezes, any config files or debug mode where it can dump to log files?
[06:02] <Adantan_Alex> first time i tried the alternate CD
[06:02] <nikrud> drewby Works for Me™, every time
[06:02] <Adantan_Alex> the second time i tried the live CD
[06:02] <n3urogod> anyone here know about ppp over ssh?
[06:02] <Adantan_Alex> how ever i did fix that.... twice i also checked discs and no <Adantan_Alex> no problems
[06:02] <nikrud> n3urogod now that is one strange question
[06:03] <amenado> ComputerPassion-> have you tried to read  up a lil bit on samba or tutorials on samba?
[06:03] <n3urogod> nikki8965, why do you say that
[06:03] <n3urogod> oops
[06:03] <n3urogod> nikrud, why do you say that?
[06:03] <Adantan_Alex> whos helping me? lol
[06:03] <nikrud> n3urogod since you already have a net connection in order to use ssh?
[06:03] <aolaus> hi, I have a dual monitor problem
[06:03] <nikrud> s/in order to/since you/
[06:03] <n3urogod> nikrud, Im talking about ppp-ssh tunneling
[06:03] <nikki8965> it's fine.  I forgot I was in here
[06:03] <aolaus> my second monitor is supposed to run at 1440 x 900
[06:03] <drewby> nikrud: Mplayer will play divx files when they're presented with a mime type of mp4, but firefox doesn't even have an entry in about:plugins for video/divx
[06:04] <aolaus> but only runs at 1152 x 864
[06:04] <Adantan_Alex> omg i need help....
[06:04] <aolaus> can someone help me?
[06:04] <ComputerPassion> amenado yes but i can't seem to find anything where you can say like user a and user b can have access to folder apple
[06:04] <ComputerPassion> how do you whipser i can't remember
[06:04] <amenado> n3urogod-> you proly want something like a secure tunnelling?
[06:05] <taime1> drewby: you need to enable, within firefox, the ability to change how it handles mimetypes
[06:05] <etfb> I'm sure this is dead obvious, but I'm drawing a blank: how do I delete all files matching a particular wildcard mask from the all subdirectories of a particular directory?  In MSDOS it's DEL /S *.FOO but what is it in bash?
[06:05] <amenado> ComputerPassion-> but that is not samba,  folder access is a security feature of a filesystem
[06:05] <drewby> taime1: thank you, could you perhaps give me just a bit more direction on how to do that?
[06:05] <Adantan_Alex> i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is good
[06:05] <n3urogod> amenado, yeah, I have followed the tutorial on this page http://www.jfranken.de/homepages/johannes/vortraege/ssh2_inhalt.en.html....but I am getting "modem hangup" "connection terminated" when I try and connect it
[06:05] <nikrud> bazhang ever had one of those days when nearly every time you swing, you miss?
[06:05] <Adantan_Alex> i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when th

[06:05] <ComputerPassion> well smb allows you to share i thought it would let you set access like that too?
[06:06] <bazhang> nikrud: aye most days ;]
[06:06] <taime1> drewby: yeah, you need to type in about:config in the adress bar.. but i forget what the otpion is... and there are LOTS of them.. lemme see if i can find it
[06:06] <amenado> ComputerPassion-> better read up on that samba again,
[06:06] <ComputerPassion> well if smb doesn't do that when i go to permissions it doesn't let me change anything
[06:07] <tifine> is there any software similar or same vnc for ubuntu
[06:07] <alteregoa> strange
[06:07] <alteregoa> yeah
[06:07] <ComputerPassion> i think i know whats going on... its a windows drive... only root can change permissions
[06:07] <ComputerPassion> on them
[06:08] <ComputerPassion> and i could just set up user groups for each share type?
[06:08] <kindofabuzz> tifine: what's wrong with vnc?
[06:08] <etfb> ... Never mind, worked it out: find DIRECTORY -name MASK -delete
[06:08] <tifine> kindofabuzz, how to get it on ubuntu
[06:08] <ComputerPassion> <--- using vnc (ubuntu runs on my server)
[06:09] <kindofabuzz> tifine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[06:09] <taime1> drewby:  you still there?
[06:09] <drewby> taime1: yessir
[06:09] <drewby> *or ma'am
[06:09] <ygor_abreu> What does the command -y before apt-get install does?
[06:10] <alan_m> it means default answer is yes ygor_abreu
[06:10] <alan_m> to any question that is a yes or no question
[06:10] <alteregoa> vinagre
[06:10] <alteregoa> vinagre is something like vnc
[06:10] <ygor_abreu> alan_m:so..doesnt matter write that down or not right?
[06:10] <bazhang> going to try kde4 back soon ;]
[06:11] <taime1> drewby: okay, its either "plugin override internal types" or "plugin expose full path"   its about 2/3 the way down the list  and you need to double click it to toggle it to "true"
[06:11] <alabamahit> what is kde4?
[06:11] <alan_m> ygor_abreu: hang on, you said -y BEFORE apt-get install?
[06:11] <ygor_abreu> alan_m:thats right..
[06:12] <ygor_abreu> alan_m:like: apt-get install -y virtualbox
[06:12] <taime1> anyone know "Terminal Server Client" is? i mean, is that the name of that package? or is it something else?
[06:12] <kindofabuzz> apt-get --help
[06:12] <n3urogod> ygor_abreu, that would be -y AFTER apt-get install
[06:12] <drewby> taime1: thanks
[06:12] <alan_m> ok, that means when it asks you are you sure you wish to install it it will answer the question with yes, and go on installing it without asking you.
[06:12] <kindofabuzz> taime1: i think that's tightvnc
[06:12] <alan_m> any other questions ygor_abreu
[06:13] <ygor_abreu> alan_m: ahh ok..got it..well nothing else mate..thx!
[06:13] <Adantan_Alex> alan.... hey m8
[06:13] <taime1> kindofabuzz:  its not. in fact, i just gave up on tightvnc.. its so slow compared to the others such as x11vnc and the terminal server client.. thats why i was wondering what terminal server client was.. its smokin fast
[06:13] <kindofabuzz> ygor_abreu: you can find options for commands by putting --help after them
[06:13] <alabamahit> what is kde4?
[06:14] <taime1> alabamahit: are you serious? if you are.. then google it
[06:14] <Adantan_Alex> i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is good
[06:14] <kindofabuzz> taime1: it may just be the graphical part of vncclient
[06:14] <mynyml> how can i enable a remote control?
[06:14] <ygor_abreu> kindofabuzz:thanks!
[06:14] <alabamahit> taime1: i just started linux lastnight...
[06:14] <taime1> kindofabuzz: vncclient is its own package? like bittorrent is the name of a bittorrent client?
[06:14] <kindofabuzz> alabamahit: kde is another window manager
[06:15] <kindofabuzz> taime1: yes
[06:15] <taime1> alabamahit: sorry guy.  its a desktop environment like gnome (the one ubuntu uses by default)
[06:15] <taime1> kindofabuzz: cool beans man, thanks
[06:15] <Adantan_Alex> oh well i will just stick with windows....
[06:15] <alabamahit> oh is there another channel to talk in...i know this is ment to be a help channel.
[06:15] <kindofabuzz> taime1: xvnc4viewer
[06:16] <kindofabuzz> maybe
[06:16] <taime1> Adantan_Alex: have you rebooted?
[06:16] <magicsword> hello all....need steps to install java...can anyone direct me ?
[06:16] <Adantan_Alex> i tried this with alternate CD and live CD
[06:16] <taime1> kindofabuzz: haha, this is what i get for trying to satisfy my curiosity
[06:16] <Adantan_Alex> checked the discs as well and no problems
[06:16] <taime1> magicsword: install jre
[06:17] <n3urogod> Adantan_Alex, you might get some more help if you actually provide some info
[06:17] <Adantan_Alex> thats the thing i dont know what to put
[06:17] <magicsword> ok...I am nubbie can you give more info
[06:17] <taime1> kindofabuzz: alls i know, is i cannot BELIEVE how slow tight is compared to all others.. i always liked it before...  but it gets a big thumbs down as client and server
[06:18] <Adantan_Alex> oh there was more
[06:18] <Adantan_Alex> when i restarted it said failed to boot Operating System but i fixed that
[06:18] <n3urogod> Adantan_Alex, what does "stop" mean....is it errroring or just doing nothing...is it totally crashed (num lock wont work or turn off) or it just doesn't *seem* to be progressing
[06:18] <Adantan_Alex> just stayed at 100 %
[06:18] <jon_high9000> anybody have anybody have any problems ffmpeg regarding the conversion of .flv to .mpg?
[06:18] <n3urogod> Adantan_Alex, and how long did you leave it for?
[06:18] <taime1> magicsword: yes, System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager.  then search for jre, then the rest is kinda self explanatory
[06:19] <Adantan_Alex> probbly 30 minutes on 100 percent
[06:19] <alabamahit> taime1: so its kinda just like ubuntu?
[06:19] <n3urogod> Adantan_Alex, can you swap to a second console and see if it is actually doing something?
[06:19] <taime1> alabamahit: join #hinkle
[06:19] <Adantan_Alex> what?
[06:20] <taime1> ill talk to you in there
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> alabamahit: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde, but you can put gnome or kde on anything
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> google it
[06:23] <kindofabuzz> netslpit or something, i see no one talking
[06:23] <Adantan_Alex> well no one can help me ^^
[06:25] <Jorda1> hay guys how do I set the root password through the command line im on ubuntu server 7.10 and im trying to use apt-get but i cant because im not root and I havent set a pass for it yet
[06:26] <amenado> !root | Jorda1
[06:26] <ubotu> Jorda1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:26] <juan_> hi
[06:26] <happy-sufferer> how do i rename my iPod?
[06:26] <Jorda1> ummmm sudo is not working for me than
