[03:16] <tritium> Tarkus: in terms of package installation, you can use dpkg --get-selections to list what you hvae installed.  You can save that, and later use dpkg --get-selections with that list to install the same packages.

[03:18] <abg> does anyone have any idea how i can get it higher?
[03:18] <r5a> so then rather have me sit here doing nothing, you can just tell me you dont know tritium
[03:19] <eck> r5a: no, it must be a keyboard layout issue. maybe you should get a more standard keyboard ;-
[03:19] <Tarkus> tritium, actually. its because i "just" installed ubuntu, its the 4th time because i tend to screw things up alot. specially because im new to linux. is there a way that i can revert all my configuration data and system files to like when i first installed?
[03:19] <tritium> r5a: and you can stop spamming the channel
[03:19] <rAstari> nekyinboots: sorry emant mediacoder, find it in sourceforge

[03:19] <unc`matt> hi, can someone help me configure my alsamixer to my Audigy2 in ubuntu 7.04
[03:19] <eck> Tarkus: if you backup /etc, ~/.gconf and ~/.local that will be most of the config stuff
[03:20] <rAstari> nekyinboots: its a transcoder, good for encoding, decoding, heaps of formats and addons
[03:20] <tritium> Tarkus: most configuration is saved in /etc for system-wide stuff.  Back it up.
[03:20] <eck> Tarkus: there are a few other dot files/folders in your home dir that you might be interested in beyond that
[03:20] <nekyinboots> good
[03:20] <ncd> if you look at that url youll see
[03:20] <nekyinboots> I detest wmv files, change them to divx
[03:20] <eck> Tarkus: you will learn more if you don't reinstall and just try to fix the problem, though
[03:21] <ncd> but i dont have the /usr/lib/opengl directory or entry in my ld.so.conf
[03:21] <mike71b> How do you install windows to a free partition after ubuntu is there? How do you get the boot manager back ?
[03:21] <eck> ncd: run xdpyinfo
[03:22] <Tarkus> eck, but if i fix the problem, i always think that my os is still crippled and im just using a "workarround", rather than if i install a fresh ubuntu, it will be for sure performing normally..
[03:22] <Don> OK.  Here is a strange on.  Everything is working on 7.04 except Firefox.  Some websites it works fine.  But most sites only load part of the page or none of it at all.  It will just sit and spin without completing the page load.  This started happening after upgrading from 6.10 to 7.04.  It also happens when running from the Live CD.  To make it more interesting, it does the same thing on the Fedora 7 RC 3 LiveCD.  It runs Firefox <IP_ADDRESS>.
[03:22] <jlu> mike71b: good question - i'd like to know too.!
[03:22] <rAstari> nekyinboots: i do that to my wmvs with mediacoder, it even encodes .VOB directly to divx
[03:22] <tritium> Tarkus: not necessarily
[03:22] <eck> ncd: or i guess it should be glxinfo. either way, you should have dri
[03:22] <nekyinboots> mike71b try a floppy boot disc, then mount to the partition you want
[03:22] <obiwan_> why isn't thunderbird in the feisty-repos ???
[03:22] <ncd> glxinfo is reporting No.
[03:22] <lineman60> I have a .net project that i need to edit, and recomplie (i have no problem cross complieing) any editer that will import a .net project?
[03:22] <eck> Tarkus: no, to fix a problem is usually never more than editing a couple of config files, there is nothing to worry about wrt the system being "crippled"
[03:22] <dustpyle_x2> obiwan_, try mozilla-thunderbird
[03:23] <eck> Tarkus: it is easy to completely remove a service and reinstall it anyway, if you want to go that route

[03:23] <mike71b> great thank you guys!
[03:24] <eck> Tarkus: any changes that you don't explicitly make outside of your home directory can be easilery reverted, usually by just removing the dot folder wehre the configuration data is stored and letting it regenerate itself witht hte default settings

[03:49] <ncd> ;)
[03:49] <maxbeatt> so i'm not sure what to do about those
[03:49] <Don> Try xubuntu using the alternate cd image.
[03:49] <Boelcke> Hi. I'm upgrading a PC from Breezy to Dapper -- do I need to do some sort of uninstall to my Firefox & Thunderbird?
[03:49] <kurushi> Hello.    I've read a lot of tutorials about installing Ubuntu, I've run the Live CD for a while, and on my attempted install everything seems to work fine... until I reboot and recieve the simple message of "boot error".  I've read somewhere that I should try to restore Grub or something similar, but before I spend another few hours reinstal
[03:49] <Don> It's better suited for older hardware with limited memory.  How much RAM do you have?
[03:49] <ncd> wow
[03:49] <kurushi> o.0 wow, that post was longer than I thought it was
[03:50] <[Neurotic] > hey all -  I installed ubuntu through pxe, and now when I boot up, all I get is a command line, no gnome interface. Do I need to install it, or something similar?
[03:50] <maxbeatt> 64MB
[03:50] <Pelo> paradon_,  I beleive that there is an option that will let run fcsk automaticaly at your next reboot,  but I dont, knowwhwat it is ,  check the man page
[03:50] <ncd> wow
[03:50] <f0rtune> mmm anyone know why im not viewing all the packets in my network with wireshark?
[03:50] <non|inear> tritium: well basically, i am unable to open any app from a terminal using gkedit... and the pass-dependent stuff in gnome menu System don't work... like users & Groups and Network and Services... i can get into some of these from a terminal, but not always.  some i can't access at all.
[03:50] <ncd> beryl workage..
[03:50] <tritium> kurushi: don't worry, we appreciate you putting it all in one line :)
[03:50] <ncd> but nearly broke my poor cpus & gpus back
[03:50] <ncd> heheh
[03:50] <tritium> non|inear: I know.  I'm just stating that it's not a bug affecting lots of users.
[03:50] <ncd> ah jooooy
[03:51] <Pelo> f0rtune,  try for a wireshark channel
[03:51] <maxbeatt> it's an old Gateway Profile (1st gen) so it's near impossible to upgrade
[03:51] <Pelo> kurushi,  are you dual booting vista ?
[03:51] <non|inear> Pelo: when I use sudo, the terminal asks for a pass, i enter a pass and it doen't do anything... just freezes  :( the only way to edit files is copy them, edit them, then overwrite in original dir under root...   Grab Xubuntu and make sure you grab the alternate image.
[03:51] <Pelo> non|inear,  I know it's not a fix but have you tried running xterm ?
[03:51] <maxbeatt> whats with the alternate image?
[03:51] <non|inear> tritius: thanks for your help!  is there any idea of what is the common property of affected systems?
[03:52] <[Neurotic] > after the pxe install, I run 'startx' and it tells me that it isn't installed
[03:52] <non|inear> pelo: not sure what xterm is... new to gnome
[03:52] <Don> maxbeatt:  http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/  scroll down to the Alternate install CD
[03:52] <tritium> non|inear: I'm not aware of _any_ other affected systems
[03:52] <kurushi> pelo: no.  I tried to wipe both drives (140 mb and 40 mb) before I started, I've tried various partitions, but I've been keeping the swap and / on the 40mb one, as a friend reccomended that.
[03:52] <tritium> non|inear: are you using "sudo -i", or how are you using sudo?
[03:52] <non|inear> tritius: k, thanks :)
[03:52] <paradon_> Pelo: I know how to make it check on the next boot (with tune2fs) but I specifically need to add the "-c -c" options (to surface scan for bad blocks) and as far as I can tell, tune2fs won't let me do that.
[03:52] <Pelo> non|inear,  just a different terminal app,  make a launcher on your desktop and put xterm for a command line
[03:52] <non|inear> trituis: just sudo <whatever>
[03:53] <Don> maxbeatt:  Xubuntu is much better suited for old hardware with limited memory
[03:53] <non|inear> Pelo: ok i'll try that
[03:53] <noname1> whats that network icon called that comes default with 7.04?
[03:53] <noname1> network-manager?
[03:53] <ncd> tnx too all for you bits of help here and there over the last couple of days
[03:53] <Pelo> kurushi,  are you booting from the 40 gig hdd ?
[03:53] <maxbeatt> Don: big thanks for the recommendation. def sounds like waht i need
[03:53] <bimberi> noname1: yes
[03:53] <ncd> what a blast.. eh
[03:53] <Don> The "Alternate install CD" is made for systems with limited memory.  Good luck!
[03:53] <maxbeatt> nice
[03:53] <maxbeatt> ty ty
[03:53] <Pelo> paradon_,  it was a suggestion,
[03:54] <Don> Send the pizza to Lafayette, IN ;)
[03:54] <tritium> Don: I used to live there :)
[03:54] <noname1> weird, I can't get the stupid icon for network-manager to appear
[03:54] <Don> Purdue, baby!
[03:54] <latinoguy> i can not install flash player on festyfawn 7.04 for amd 64
[03:54] <tritium> Yep.
[03:54] <Pelo> noname1,  and I can'T get rid of it , wannna trade ?
[03:54] <latinoguy> plaease tell me a simple way to do it
[03:54] <kurushi> Pelo: as far as I know.  I suppose I should duck out, reboot, and make sure
[03:54] <latinoguy> i already down load the file but no advance
[03:54] <maxbeatt> puck furdue ;) i go to IU
[03:54] <kurushi> thanks
[03:55] <noname1> Pelo : he he. I did an apt-get remove...
[03:55] <Pelo> latinoguy,  there is no simple way to do it
[03:55] <Don> He he!
[03:55] <noname1> and then an apt-get install... and it's gone.
[03:55] <non|inear> pelo: i tried xterm, and i get the same authentication error...  i think the problem is with authentication and not the terminal
[03:55] <Don> I take back all my advise and require beer with my pizza!
[03:55] <tritium> maxbeatt: heh.  I'm no fan either.  I did undergrad at ND.  Go Irish!  ;)
[03:55] <latinoguy> Pelo: can you tell me the way
[03:55] <maxbeatt> lol
[03:55] <Pelo> non|inear,  well at least that narrowed it down a bit
[03:56] <Pelo> !flash64 | latinoguy  follow these instructions
[03:56] <ubotu> latinoguy  follow these instructions: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[03:56] <Don> latinoguy: I don't think there is a flash plugin for the 64 bit platform.
[03:56] <Don> I think you need to get the 32 bit firefox so you can run the 32 bit plugin.
[03:56] <[Neurotic] > how do I setup gnome, when it doesn't seem to have been installed by default?
[03:56] <non|inear> Pelo: yea totally, thanks for your help!  now that i've identified a bug number (just IDed like 5 minutes ago), it will be much easier for me to find what resources exist on web... gonna look now
[03:57] <baghyay> salut
[03:57] <latinoguy> Don: and how can i change to firefox 32 bits
[03:57] <latinoguy> thanks

[04:02] <ioerror> Why does /etc/security/limits.conf not affect actual limits on dapper drake? If I set a ulimit as root, it works (say: ulimit -n 32000). If I set that same thing in /etc/security/limits.conf, even after a reboot, it doesn't take. the max number of open file descriptors appears to always be reset to 1024.
[04:03] <Rob07> why are my torrent speeds slow on ubuntu

[04:05] <Rob07> not sure i remember having to do that in windows but no idea where to begin here.
 thunderbird again - my version out of feisty-main is 1.5.x - how can i get v2.0 with apt-get tool (unstable?, testing or...?)

[04:06] <Pelo> latinoguy,  the conventional wisdom currently is don'T use 64 unless you have a good reason to,  stuff like flash and java donT' work or aren'T up to scratch
[04:06] <Pelo> anandanbu,  are you the owner of this hdd ?
[04:06] <latinoguy> Pelo: so your reomation is to use the 7.04 for x86
[04:06] <anandanbu> yeah
[04:06] <Pelo> latinoguy,  yes
[04:07] <kentbye> Is there a commandline program or grep options that will display the text between two strings -- like the text between "<!-- BEGIN -->" & "<!-- END -->" ?
[04:07] <latinoguy> and can i use it with the atholon 64 dual core?
[04:07] <anandanbu> i have the windows contents that is all the binary files which i dont need anymore
[04:07] <PeterUnique> Is it hard to get software with 64bit Ubuntu?  I've tried it and noticed I couldn't get a flash plugin for firefox.  Any other big ones I'd be missing?
[04:07] <obiwan_> my version of mozilla-thunderbird out of feisty-main is 1.5.x - how can i get v2.0 with apt-get tool (unstable?, testing or...?)
[04:07] <kevev> crimsun: did you leave?????
[04:07] <Pelo> anandanbu,  if you just want to format it , you can probably do it with gparted, menu > system > admin > gnome partition manager ( gparted)  but you might have to install it, it is not part fo the default install    sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:07] <Rob07> what is the best utorrent client to use
[04:08] <anandanbu> ok ill do it now and reply
[04:08] <Rob07> well not utorrent but torrent
[04:08] <Pelo> obiwan_,  I don'T think you can apt-get it,  you'll need to get a deb package from the site or compile the source
[04:08] <deus> What program is used to configure the powersave and power usage to a cpu??
[04:08] <deserteagle> does anyone have the Image Zoom plugin installed on their firefox?
[04:08] <Pelo> Rob07,  utorrent is the best,  running on wine
[04:08] <Qix> Not sure what the protocol is around here, but I need some help with my WUSB54GC and Feisty...
[04:08] <latinoguy> so the last question, can i install the festyfawn x86 version in an atholon 64 ?
[04:09] <Pelo> deserteagle,  I do are you having trouble with it ?
[04:09] <deserteagle> yeah
[04:09] <Pelo> latinoguy,  yes
[04:09] <latinoguy> ok thanks Pelo i will startover again
[04:09] <Pelo> deserteagle,  are you gonna make me guess or are you gonna tell me the problem ?
[04:09] <obiwan_> Pelo: ok - gracias
[04:09] <deserteagle> if i configure it to use the right click for the scrolling to be effective, it won't work
[04:09] <latinoguy> this is funny im learning a lot
[04:10] <deserteagle> but if i tell it to use the middle button, everything works
[04:10] <Pelo> deserteagle, oh,  don'T know aboutthat one,  try asking in #firefox
[04:10] <deserteagle> kthx
[04:10] <Pelo> latinoguy,  welcome to the wonderfull world of linux where ou have to use your brain

[04:11] <ubotu> Qix   ,  and also check the forum for your hardware: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:11] <beer> does anyone have Linphone running on ubuntu?

[04:12] <Qix> Well, the problem is that I have actually followed every piece of documentation out there... but no go
[04:12] <Pelo> Rob07, I'm up to the point where I look for stuff to fix on mine
[04:12] <Rob07> haha
[04:12] <anandanbu> pelo there is no option to format the portable drive in gparted as it shows
[04:12] <Pelo> Qix,  what would be your specific problem then ?
[04:12] <Qix> I am getting 100% utilization on my processor when the driver is active
[04:12] <anandanbu> its a ntfs drive
[04:12] <morodock_> !webcam

[04:12] <Qix> it is a Linksys WUSB54GC adapter
[04:13] <Pelo> anandanbu,   to the right of the tool bar  select your hdd in the drop down list,   remove current partitions, and create new ones
[04:13] <Pelo> Qix,  which driver would that be ?
[04:13] <YueBuQun> Ubuntu plans mobile Linux version
[04:14] <Qix> the driver that came with Feisty didn't work at all, so I compiled the RALINK driver
[04:14] <anandanbu> pelo can you explain me a bit clearly i cant get you
[04:14] <mikedep333> hey, how do I configure runlevels (other than using system > administration > services as that does not show every service)?
[04:14] <Pelo> anandanbu,  in gparted,  select the usb hdd from the drop down list on the far right of the tool bar
[04:15] <anandanbu> ok i have done that but the gparted shows a lock icon near the drive
[04:15] <Pelo> anandanbu,  then in the large windows in the lower half of gparted you will see the partitions on that hdd,  ( probably just one ),  right click on it and remove it ,  then righcick the empty space  and add a new partition
[04:16] <Pelo> anandanbu,  right lcick on the partiton and select unmount
[04:16] <Qix> the RT73 serialmonkey driver caused the same instability in my system
[04:16] <anandanbu> yeah i have unmounted it
[04:16] <anandanbu> then
[04:16] <Qix> (same as the official ralink driver, that is)
[04:16] <mikedep333> anyone?
[04:17] <Pelo> Qix,  there donT, seem to be any member familar with wireless issues in at the moment , maybe you can try at a different time of day or try and do some more reading
[04:17] <Pelo> anandanbu,  then remove the current partition and create a new one
[04:17] <Qix> ok Pelo... thanks

[04:29] <Pelo> darnell,  does k3b actaly code audio trasks ? don,t hyou need somethinglike sounjuicer for that ?
[04:29] <obiwan_> i want translate a word by right-click on marked text - is there a program for feisty?
[04:29] <Gerro> senniha9: use ndiswrapper make sure you have the right windows driver for your processor type
[04:29] <rAstari> When trying to run synaptic, or some other progs, I get this "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" Help
[04:29] <WaxyFresh> i keep getting this error from apt-get:perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[04:29] <WaxyFresh> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
[04:29] <darnell> k3b will do it.. maybe soundjuicer will do it too i dont know.
[04:29] <darnell> it shouldnt be this difficult though
[04:29] <cafuego> For the record, a warning is not an error.
[04:30] <Gerro> senniha9: from the windows driver you will need bcml5.inf and bcml5.sys
[04:30] <darnell> soundjuice only extracts music from cd's..
[04:30] <darnell> it doesnt write to cd's
[04:30] <WaxyFresh> cafuego: do you know how i can fix it?
[04:30] <Gerro> senniha9: use ndiswrapper to load the bcml5.inf then modprobe it and stuff, seriously should check the forum has easy guide for that
[04:30] <Zanth_> good day, does anyone know if an ubuntu live disc has usb2 and ntfs support?
[04:30] <rAstari> When trying to run synaptic, or some other progs, I get this "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" Help
[04:30] <wlnet> Any reason(s) why Dell chooses ubuntu?
[04:31] <aj_> i have a problem i tried to manually the ati driver because i couldn't play ut2004 and now it says my gl version is like 1.4 its the mesa lib
[04:31] <Pelo> darnell, serpentine then, but for the k3b stuff you might want to find a k3b channel
[04:31] <WaxyFresh> wlnet: beaus eit kicks all sorts of butt
[04:31] <Puppy_> I would like to download/install gizmo project. It is not in the repositories. Is there any way I can add it to the repositories?
[04:31] <Gerro> Zanth_: make your usb fat32 its faster than ntfs with more space and works on any operating system
[04:31] <lasking> wo will go to watch Olympic Games next year?
[04:31] <WaxyFresh> because it^^
[04:31] <aj_> i think i went back to the restricted ati driver but still the openGL version is that mesa version
[04:31] <wlnet> WaxyFresh: don't get it.
[04:31] <rAstari> darnell:serpentine works ok
[04:31] <Gerro> Zanth_: and usb2.0 yes if your hardware can do it
[04:31] <Zanth_> Gerro: I was hoping to actually mount a mangled ntfs HD and then transfer to a flash drive via usb2
[04:31] <darnell> it didnt work for me either..
[04:32] <WaxyFresh> wlnet: you asked why dell choose ubuntu,becasue ubuntu is awsome
[04:32] <nonlinear> quick quesiotn.... is it possible to make an option to boot from CD rom in grub? my attempt didn't work (got invalide partoin error wsomething).  i was using: #title CD/DVD #root (cdrom0) #savedefault
[04:32] <darnell> holdon, ill give u the error message
[04:32] <Gerro> Zanth_: it can read ntfs but you will need a special program called captive ntfs to wrap the windows programs that are used to access ntfs
[04:32] <lasking> dell choose ubuntu? really?
[04:32] <wlnet> WaxyFresh: awesome, you mean. your first time was in riddle.
[04:32] <stanthecaddy22> nonlinear: Usually you set that option in your BIOS settings
[04:32] <Gerro> Zanth: I mean you will need that if you want to "write" to ntfs
[04:33] <stanthecaddy22> nonlinear: have it check for CD boot before booting to hard drive
[04:33] <wlnet> WaxyFresh: every other distro can claim that.
[04:33] <darnell> Can only use growisofs on a single track
[04:33] <darnell> that is what it says
[04:33] <Zanth_> Gerro: no need ot write, I just need to extract two folders then I'm removing the drive in this laptop and installing a new one
[04:33] <nonlinear> stanthecaddy22: yea, but i would like to add the CD option to grub, so that I don't have to hit F12 if i want to boot CD... i can just select it in grub
[04:33] <Pelo> darnell, isn't growisofs something to make cd images ?
[04:33] <wlnet> WaxyFresh: ubuntu is now owned by that businessman Shuttleworth? is this the guy that had been to space?
[04:33] <Puppy_> Can anyone help me add gizmo project to the repositories? Or tell me that it is impossible.
[04:34] <nonlinear> stanthecaddy22: yea, i can do it in bios but i'm lazy and it would be nice to have in grub
[04:34] <Gerro> Zanth_: oh wait there is also ntfs-3g that will write to it, it can read ntfs easily though
[04:34] <Zanth_> Gerro: all from the live disc?
[04:34] <darnell> dude, i dont know what it is, i just need to write mp3's to a disk..
[04:34] <stanthecaddy22> nonlinear: ah, my mistake then, I can't help ya there. Good luck though
[04:34] <Gerro> Zanth_: yep
[04:34] <darnell> maybe vista will do it.
[04:34] <nonlinear> but in looking on google, i haven't found anything... does grub ID the cd and cdrom0?
[04:34] <nonlinear> ^^ as* cdrom0
[04:35] <Gerro> Zanth_: just be sure to extract the data to a place to save and not onto your desktop (it will be in ram if you do that)
[04:35] <Zanth_> thanks Gerro
[04:35] <Zanth_> Gerro: cool I'll be sure to do that

[04:35] <Pelo> Rageagainstthis, try asking in #winehq
[04:36] <nonlinear> i guess the easiest way to find out is to just go into grub, edit the commands, and just trial and error  LOL..   thanks stanthecaddy22!
[04:36] <darnell> copy mp3's to a cd
[04:36] <Rageagainstthis> well to winehq i go

[04:38] <senniha9> when downloading bcm43xx-fxcutter which architect should i choose i have an amd turion
[04:38] <Pelo> silversky9,  you can make a partition for windows using gparted, run it from the live cd since you can't resize a partition you are working on
[04:38] <Puppy_> Pelo: I am wondering if I can add gizmo project to the repositories on my computer. Or is that something someone else has to do. I am very new to linux :)

[04:45] <asherZ> Bradf0rd: i think you need the codec

[05:01] <gradin> i can ping it on the local network and stuff but i can't get an outbound connection
[05:02] <gradin> is there a place i can put the ips for the dns server?
[05:02] <blak1> Pelo: no not only 800x600 is there
[05:02] <silversky9> I guess I just need a guide on how to create a partition for windows
[05:02] <helplol> LOL he is my best friend pelo
[05:02] <Pelo> blak1,   ok do all the colour depts have  1024 in them ?
[05:02] <helplol> he is ood with computers
[05:02] <helplol> he works with cputers every day
[05:02] <levmatta> them go for the Partition Magic for Windows by Norton, it is payied. But the installer should work, anyway...
[05:02] <jeff_0> I just tried the 7.04 live CD...  is it just me or is the wireless in rough shape?
[05:03] <dalasv> hello
[05:03] <dr_willis> jeff_0,  it worked for me.. rather trivially.. so i say its in good shape, :)
[05:03] <Pelo> helplol, try to reboot your computer,  stay there while it boots you'll get a menu ,  see if you can still select windows in it
[05:03] <blak1> Pelo:  no only 1, 2 , 3, 4
[05:03] <dalasv> anyone here running Ubuntu on a Vaio?
[05:03] <gradin> where can i put the ip's for the dns servers?
[05:03] <WaxyFresh> helplol: if hes good he might of set ubuntu up on a seperate partition,when you start up and you see GRUBLOADINGpress escape see if something poops up that says windows
[05:03] <silversky9> but, I'm not running windows at all
[05:03] <dr_willis> dalasv,  theres a LOT of different 'vaio' branded laptops. :)
[05:03] <silversky9> how could I run the program if ubuntu won't run it?
[05:03] <gradin> as they are normally resolved by dhcp
[05:03] <dalasv> Yeah, I know : /
[05:04] <jeff_0> heh... have used windows since the linux kernel was at 0.12... ;-)
[05:04] <Pelo> blak1,  add  1024 x 768 to all the colour depts listed, follow the syntax carefully
[05:04] <dalasv> PCG-792L
[05:04] <helplol> no lol he said something about windows tantnig my computer and he said he got rid of all traces of the garbage he called it lol :(
[05:04] <crdlb> dalasv: the make is really pretty irrelevant, what matters is the video card and wireless card
[05:04] <jeff_0> err... "haven't"
[05:04] <dalasv> I'm trying to improve the trackpad speed

[05:04] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[05:04] <dalasv> the mouse prefs don't affect it at all

[05:04] <dalasv> crdlb: no, I am completely new to Ubuntu
[05:05] <crdlb> dalasv: you can tweak it in your xorg.conf
[05:05] <Pelo> helplol, if windows is no loonger on your cmputer you'll hve to ask your friend to install it again,  but give  ubuntu a try , you'll like it,

[05:07] <allianne> gradin: what was the question?
[05:07] <lethu> Bradf0rd, yeah I like it and use it too : )
[05:07] <levmatta> first you need to resize your primary partition then create a secundary one
[05:07] <Pelo> helplol,  ok lets see if your freind left windows installed on your computer,   type alt+f2  and type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst     look at the last few lines of the files see if windows in mentionned ,  don'T edit it or save it
[05:08] <mobutu> Feisty doesn't have gparted anymore?  I did not know that
[05:08] <silversky9> it won't let me resize it
[05:08] <levmatta> as Iunderstand you are have trouble resizing
[05:08] <Bradf0rd> lethu, do you use compiz?
[05:08] <helplol> lol pelo what is all hat!!!!!
[05:08] <gradin> allianne: i'm not able to get outside my network from a static ip
[05:08] <silversky9> and i'm using a live CD
[05:08] <gradin> the ip address is set to <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:08] <levmatta> what is the error, or the interface does not let you do it?
[05:08] <lethu> Bradf0rd, nop cause it borks my brightness setting in videos
[05:08] <gradin> the gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> and the subnet masks work
[05:09] <WaxyFresh> helplol: just type alt and the f2 key
[05:09] <Bradf0rd> lethu, what's that mean? I still haven't played video's on this thing yet
[05:09] <blak1> Pelo: it didnt change anything? isnt there an easier way?
[05:09] <Pelo> helplol,  it will display the file that give you the menu when you boot your computer,  we want to see if windows is an option for your to shose from
[05:09] <gradin> i checked the resolve.conf and its getting the correct dns ip addresses
[05:09] <WaxyFresh> helplol: then cut/paste what pelo said in there
[05:09] <silversky9> first... i go into gparted...and all the partitions are locked...
[05:09] <gradin> so i'm a bit lost on why i'm unable to access the internets
[05:09] <silversky9> so, i unmount the primary one
[05:09] <Pelo> blak1, it's not a question of easier it's a question of finding what the problem is
[05:09] <silversky9> and i try to resize it to half....but, it brings up an error that it can't
[05:10] <allianne> gradin: r u able to access computers in the intranet?
[05:10] <helplol> GUYS lol i am not a ubuntu user liky my firnd!

[05:10] <Pelo> blak1,  in ubuntu menu > system > admin (or maybe in prefs)   > restricted driver  click on it and see what it says
[05:10] <gradin> which is why i'm stumped
[05:10] <WaxyFresh> helplol: do you use aim?
[05:10] <gradin> all i'm getting is hostname not found
[05:10] <Pelo> helplol,  ok lets see if your freind left windows installed on your computer,   type alt+f2  and type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst     look at the last few lines of the files see if windows in mentionned ,  don'T edit it or save it
[05:10] <lethu> Bradf0rd, that means that if you set a brightness level in Totem for example it won't apply this setting until you disable compositing in xorg
[05:11] <helplol> no i could not figure out how t o use aim i tried once waxy frehs
[05:11] <blak1> Pelo: this is a fresh install i have installed ubuntu about 6 months ago and gave up trying to get the resolution to work on a different pc. so im trying again still cant get any option but 800x600?
[05:11] <allianne> gradin: what app are you using, and how are you using it?  command-line?  R u using full hostname like www.example.com ?
[05:11] <gradin> command line

[05:11] <levmatta> so you are running the live cd, them you unmmount the primary partition them reopen the gparted. right? to what directory was this partition mounted to?
[05:11] <helplol> so my computer will be fix

[05:15] <crdlb> Pelo: he can't

[05:15] <asherZ> WaxyFresh: ah thanks
[05:15] <cbs> is KDE better than Gnome in the sense that KDE possibly has more configuration settings/options?
[05:15] <silversky9> i'm happy with ubuntu....but, i want to use Adobe Audition to edit music.
[05:15] <crdlb> blak1: what driver are you using?
[05:15] <eetfunk> hi all, i just moved my hard drive to a new machine and ubuntu doesn't see the network adapter anymore.  Is there a way to auto-detect/rescan the network adapters?  I only have bash installed (no X server)
[05:15] <gradin> allianne: new issue, rebooted after upgrading and setting interface to static ip
[05:15] <Pelo> crdlb,  would he be ok with feisty ?
[05:16] <blak1> Pelo: no i didnt install drivers but the card is listed when i put that command in
[05:16] <crdlb> probably, but he should be fine with dapper too
[05:16] <cbs> <3
[05:16] <Pelo> blak1,   crdlb  will try and help you get the correct driver  follow his instructiions
[05:16] <levmatta> it should work, I really cannot help anymore without the error message. One quick note: it is EXTREMELLY recomended that you install windows BEFORE installing linux
[05:16] <crdlb> blak1: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:16] <brentc4m> cbs, KDE definitely has more configuration options
[05:16] <Bradf0rd> lethu, yeah, I think I did something wrong, either that or I'm so used to it in OS X that I don't notice, did you copy paste everything into terminal?
[05:17] <asherZ> brentc4m: what is faster?
[05:17] <Bradf0rd> lethu, when you opened that file was there anything else in it? Or was it new/empty?
[05:17] <cbs> brentc4m: can I install KDE while in gnome and switch between them?
[05:17] <xjkx> how do you use lazarus on ubuntu? i installed "tct" and i got a lazarus binary, but when i run:"Can't open" wtf :o
[05:17] <xjkx> I think its not lazarus-pascal
[05:17] <brentc4m> asherZ, not a clue, I use gnome/openbox
[05:17] <levmatta> because you will have to remake your MBR so that you can boot to linux, after installing Windows
[05:17] <xjkx> in man lazarus "lazarus - create structure from unstructured data"
[05:17] <brentc4m> cbs, yeah, to switch between them you logout, choose the KDE session, and login
[05:17] <levmatta> that is not a simple task
[05:17] <blak1> crdlb:Permission denied ?
[05:17] <Wiseguy> hey guys, can anyone help me get a samba share working in ubuntu?
[05:17] <xjkx> lazarus tries to revive things that have died and gone into the binary spirit world... deleted files, data in memory, swap, etc
[05:18] <asherZ> brentc4m: oh ok :) never used openbox.. i use gnome also w/ beryl
[05:18] <xjkx> wtf, what about the pascal lazarus !
[05:18] <cbs> ah, so it updates GRUB autom?
[05:18] <tin_nqn> hello people. Does exist or somebody know how to create a multiboot DVD with ubuntu + kubuntu + xubuntu ?
[05:18] <silversky9> okay
[05:18] <silversky9> thanks a lot
[05:18] <blak1> crdlb: do i have to put sudo first?
[05:18] <crdlb> blak1: run: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:18] <crdlb> that will open the file
[05:18] <crdlb> then:
[05:18] <levmatta> sorry, I which I new more

[05:41] <crdlb> blak1: post what again?
[05:41] <arch01> xsushi-->no after installing the ububtu and after upgrading the nvidia drivrs then after the restart all i can c is a black screen
[05:41] <swooney> variant: okay, any ideas on how to log back in though? i can deal with suspending until it actually works, as long as i can log back in to do it

[05:46] <mike71b> Is 256Meg too little ram for virtualbox? Edgy and feisty have given me no problems themselves with this little.
[05:47] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: if .config/deluge (in your home folder) does not get removed the torrents will still be there.
[05:47] <xSUSHix> mike71b depends on what os ur running in virtualbox
[05:47] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: make a backup of .config/deluge
[05:47] <arch01> xsushi--> xsushi-->i did actually, i tried the update with the automatix drivers...it did not work, then i uninstalled them reconfigured the xorg.conf file...then installed with the envy drivers ..still the same black screen problem after restart...stranglely all i did to revert back was change "nvidia" to "nv" in the Section "Device". But i want to use the desktop effects, no matter what i use it does not upgrade properl

[05:47] <xSUSHix> mike71b oh ur running feisty in virtualbox? 256 should be ok

[05:52] <crabgrass> brentc4m: 7900gtx, yes.

[05:54] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, OK I was wondering if the upgrade is necessary cause I was here earlier and someone told me to upgrade to version .5 that was not in the ubuntu repositories cause it has problems. Problem is when I close deluge it maxes out cpu usage under python. I was told to upgrade python to 2.5 but it was this already so then I was told to upgrade deluge to .5x but I checked that and it is that version already but was from the ubu
[05:54] <brentc4m> crabgrass, well, translating dx9 shaders to opengl is pretty new. I definitely wouldn't guarantee that cedega will work better for you, like I said, wine works better for me
[05:54] <cjae> ntu repository. I was to install http://download.deluge-torrent.org/ubuntu/feisty/ instead but I believe I did this before I did a fresh install of xubuntu 7.04 and this .deb was worst than what is installed now, if it is the same it wouldn't even cache the torrents on closing the app
[05:54] <mike71b> Where did everyone go that said yes to virtualbox running on 256meg?
[05:54] <fsckit> mike71b, correct. and virtualbox is an awesome vm. good speed on my machine
[05:55] <brentc4m> crabgrass, you might want to do a little searching around for a certain .deb before putting up cash for it *wink*

[05:55] <crabgrass> brentc4m: did you use a .deb or compile from source?

[05:56] <Yggdrasil> whats the cmd to find out what process is using a drive ? losf ?
[05:56] <brentc4m> crabgrass
[05:56] <brentc4m> lol
[05:56] <crabgrass> brentc4m: heh, i hate it when i do that
[05:56] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: so you already tried the latest deb file from the deluge web site?
[05:56] <crabgrass> brentc4m: wine
[05:56] <mike71b> Frustrated, maybe i am doing something wrong? followed wizard, rebooted, try to launch xp virtual machine just created but it stays at zero percent status and ctl alt back won't restart the machine ...
[05:56] <brentc4m> crabgrass, I used the .deb from winehq
[05:56] <cjae> I think so this was a few days ago
[05:56] <grimb_> where is thr place in ubuntu that we need to input the codecs that we download from mplayer andto they be see from the rest of the othr players?

[05:57] <crabgrass> brentc4m: finally beat hl2 on hard without dieing once, so i can live if i break it.
[05:57] <xSUSHix> mike71b tried qemu or vmware server ?
[05:57] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, I have not tried it in this fresh install of feisty though cause of the torrent dling thing
[05:57] <brentc4m> crabgrass, you might also want to enable glsl, might work better for you with the 7900gtx
[05:58] <crabgrass> brentc4m: eh? how's that done?
[05:58] <brentc4m> grimb_, you'd be better off installing the w32codecs package from mediabuntu
[05:58] <crabgrass> brentc4m: also, what is it?
[05:58] <mike71b> I haven't, does it sound like I am doing this correctly, since windows is not installed currently?
[05:58] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: make a backup of .config/deluge and then uninstall the old deluge if you have it, then try the newest deluge from http://deluge-torrent.com.
[05:59] <truesnake> is crimsun in the room?
[05:59] <grimb_> brentc4m i don`t like nathing to addd here sources :X
[05:59] <grimb_> but ok thanks i will try it :)
[05:59] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman: what I am trying to say is the one I have installed better than the one on the website
[05:59] <mike71b> Or is my problem that an image file of an install is needed also? Could you clear up that part?
[05:59] <Eythan> When I boot from the disc I downloaded, why am I not being presented with what every guide I've read says I will be?
[05:59] <brentc4m> crabgrass, it enables the new shader code I'm pretty sure, and done with a registry setting
[05:59] <brentc4m> crabgrass, http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=871&iVersionId=3731&iThreadId=17811
[05:59] <brentc4m> grimb_, then put them in /usr/lib/win32/
[06:00] <crabgrass> brentc4m: interesting, haven't seen this one yet
[06:00] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: i'm not sure if it is any better.
[06:00] <[Neurotic] > I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for helping me out guys, I've successfully installed ubuntu on my m200 tablet PC :D
[06:00] <truesnake> crimsun:  i've been having some audio problems, and i spoke with you yesterday, and am still having the same no sound type problem.  could you by chance help me?
[06:00] <fsckit> mike71b, configure vb, put the xp cd in, should be all. maybe the default config may be fine too
[06:00] <brent_> hello
[06:00] <Rodls> Neruotic: Didyou use the Live CD?
[06:00] <grimb_> brentc4m thanks :)
[06:00] <crimsun> truesnake: in a conf ATM; please be patient.
[06:01] <brent_> does anyone know how to install vim with syntax highlight without installing vim-gnome (i don't want to install X along with it)
[06:01] <truesnake> my bad
[06:01] <mike71b> So it sounds like I am going about it propperly to work then ?
[06:01] <[Neurotic] > Rodls: no, I had to do a PXE install.. as there is no internal DVD drive, and no boot from USB, which ended up being headless, so I had to do a install of ubuntu-desktop
[06:01] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, thanks anyway
[06:01] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: if you feel like being adventurous then try rtorrent: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/howto-use-rtorrent-like-a-pro/
[06:01] <[Neurotic] > took me a while to work out
[06:01] <brentc4m> crabgrass, did you still get slowdowns running with dx70? I've literally turned off/down everything I can and I still get slowdowns on a 6800 128mb
[06:01] <fsckit> mike71b, did you configure the vm to have enough virtual ram and disk space?
[06:01] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: you won't get any python probs with that
[06:02] <mike71b>  192 mb ram and 4 gig starting file size
[06:02] <Rodls> Neurotic:  Cool! Ive been messing with this Wubi windows installer to no avail
[06:02] <crabgrass> brentc4m: yeah, but only when it was doing the buffer redrawing effects in the intro and the end
[06:02] <Yggdrasil> lsof: WARNING: can't stat() smbfs file system /media/storeage
[06:02] <Yggdrasil>       Output information may be incomplete.
[06:02] <brentc4m> brent_, you can get syntax highlighting with the 'vim' package
[06:02] <Yggdrasil> odd
[06:02] <brent_> brentc4m: for some reason when I type :syn on it doesn't do anything
[06:02] <fsckit> mike71b, should be fine but if you only have 256mb total, that leaves little for kubuntu. that's pushing it
[06:02] <[Neurotic] > PXE was a bit of a pain as it had to download Ubuntu all over again, but it worked
[06:02] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, does it support dht? and multiple torrents and such like ktorrent, gtorrent, azureus ???
[06:03] <brent_> brentc4m: all I need is C syntax highlighting
[06:03] <zerokill88> how could i launch a program in a window that i can minimize and resize?keeping the program inside the window?
[06:03] <Eythan> How long does it normally take between when the ubuntu start-up screen (which looks like the XP boot screen) finishes and the actual "desktop" loads up?  I've waited twenty minutes with no change. Is this normal?
[06:03] <Yggdrasil> bah screw it im gonna reboot
[06:03] <FunnyLookinHat> brent_, Anjuta is a nice GUI for programming syntax
[06:03] <mike71b> I have 256 total, I thought it was more since I haven't been running anything but linux since W98
[06:03] <brentc4m> brent_, are you sure you have vim, and not just vim-tiny?
[06:03] <brent_> FunnyLookinHat: thanks but I need something that is X-less
[06:03] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: let me check
[06:03] <crabgrass> Eythan: no, that's not normal. try redownloading and reburning the cd
[06:03] <crdlb> zerokill88: like a nested X server?
[06:03] <FunnyLookinHat> brent_, emacs ?
[06:03] <Rodls> Ethyan: It should only take a minute or so at the most
[06:03] <fsckit> mike71b, i have 1 gig and vb is about as reactive as a real XP install
[06:03] <brent_> i did sudo apt-get install vim, so I'd assume it's not vim-tiny
[06:04] <brent_> lol @ emacs XD
[06:04] <brent_> no
[06:04] <Eythan> crabgrass I did the option about checking the CD for errors, it said it was fine
[06:04] <brentc4m> brent_, well i've got 'syntax on' in my .vimrc and it works for me
[06:04] <martman> i installed kubuntu-desktop, restarted and now all text is rectangles
[06:04] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: it does not support DHT yet, but it think i can handle multiple torrents
[06:04] <brent_> dammit, i guess i'll try the .vimrc then, but :syn on should work too
[06:04] <martman> no words
[06:04] <mike71b> That's nice to know, I am debating b/t spending for new mb/proc/ram/vid or just go with intel based macbook
[06:04] <zerokill88> crdlb um not sure.im using blender and it doesnt give me a option to minimize it ,so i want to use it in a window.i know i can alt-f9 but i want to change through windows quickly
[06:05] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: "it" can handle....
[06:05] <crabgrass> Eythan: what kind of motherboard do you have?
[06:05] <zerokill88> crdlb cant i run a command in terminal that will do that?
[06:05] <crabgrass> Eythan: better yet, try booting from the cd in text-mode
[06:05] <brentc4m> crabgrass, well at least I know it's my card now. looking forward to ann 8800gts :)
[06:05] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman: does this message turn color when I add the ":" or just when I "FakeOutdoorsman,"
[06:05] <Eythan> crabgrass Is that the other option that's on the website?
[06:05] <mike71b> Any other ideas why the desktop becomes unresponsive and progress of the virtual machine launching stays at zero percent ?
[06:05] <crabgrass> brentc4m: go for the gtx, it's only a little bit more and it's worth it
[06:05] <crdlb> zerokill88: just run it on its own workspace
[06:05] <brent_> brentc4m: ok this is weird, it does parens matching but doesn't highlight anything else
[06:06] <crabgrass> Eythan: no, it's an option that comes up when you first put the cd in and boot from it. you know, where the countdown is?
[06:06] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: for me it changes color when you start the message with my name.  just type the beginning of my name and hit tab and it should autocomplete just like in a terminal
[06:06] <brentc4m> brent_, parens matching is done by set showmatch i think
[06:06] <Eythan> crabgrass: Yeah, seen that screen a few times :P
[06:06] <fsckit> mike71b, your choice. i personally don't like apple's business practices, as MS, so linux for me
[06:06] <zerokill88> crdlb true..but when i animate something,it opens it up in a new smaller window.wich then on the other window i have to start the animation then that it covers up the smaller window and then i cant see it
[06:07] <brentc4m> crabgrass, dude, isn't it like $500 vs $300? lol
[06:07] <brent_> feh.  I guess I'll do without syn highlighting!  I'm thinking that maybe X actually is required for that
[06:07] <crabgrass> Eythan: try going into the non-gui boot, it think it's called recovery mode or something
[06:07] <brentc4m> crabgrass, poor college kid here D:
[06:07] <crabgrass> brentc4m: checked newegg?
[06:07] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: you might find this interesting on your quest for a DHT compatible torrent client: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_software
[06:07] <Eythan> crabgrass: Okay, will do, thanks
[06:07] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, I have been looking for a replacement for mutorrent under win I was booting back just for that
[06:07] <Eythan> quit
[06:08] <Eythan> say Woops, been awhile since I used IRC
[06:08] <godlygeek> Hey, can anyone give me a hint as to how the gnome dock applets get launched?
[06:08] <crabgrass> brentc4m: oh god, it's way more expensive than i thought
[06:08] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, I know it runs under wine too but whats the sense in that, right?
[06:08] <brentc4m> brent_, it's definitely not,  just logged into a tty and it works there too
[06:08] <FakeOutdoorsman> cjae: i used it like that for awhile, but it was annoying ans somewhat buggy.
[06:08] <crabgrass> brentc4m: im working at a compusa thats closing, so i got used to 60% off everything
[06:08] <Thatguy> I have got a problem with video playback in 7.04. I have all of the codecs installed as well as ffmpeg. but when I try to playback a .avi video there is no output unless I rapidly adjust the window size. This same problem is in "Movie Player" and in VLC media player. Whats wrong?
[06:09] <FakeOutdoorsman> Thatguy: are you using beryl?  VLC has trouble under beryl and will often just show a black screen.
[06:09] <crabgrass> Thatguy: have you installed display drivers?
[06:09] <godlygeek> After a gdm login, gnome is up and running for nearly a minute before gnome-power-manager and the network tool start... can anyone suggest what it might be doing in the mean time?  a script that's blocking or something?
[06:09] <crdlb> Thatguy: using desktop effects?
[06:09] <brentc4m> crabgrass, niiice, i'd kill for that. my decision is between the 8800gts 320 vs 640, only $50 more so i think i'm gonna go for it
[06:09] <Thatguy> Yes I'm using compiz that was preinstalled
[06:09] <cjae> I was using ktorrent under xubuntu (present distro) but I am using xfce which uses gtk and ktorrent would always crash after so long
[06:09] <crdlb> Thatguy: that's your problem
[06:10] <crabgrass> brentc4m: yeah, always go for more ram
[06:10] <crdlb> Thatguy: either turn it off or use mplayer
[06:10] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, but it was so fast
[06:10] <Thatguy> really? thats stupid
[06:10] <Thatguy> mplayer you say?
[06:10] <crdlb> Thatguy: it's a bug in the free ati/intel video dirvers
[06:10] <crdlb> drivers*
[06:10] <Thatguy> oh cool so I can just use mplayer?
[06:10] <crdlb> Thatguy: yes mplayer will work fine for some reason
[06:10] <cjae> FakeOutdoorsman, opps forgot user name there
[06:10] <FakeOutdoorsman> Thatguy: solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314813
[06:11] <crdlb> FakeOutdoorsman: that's no solution
[06:11] <crdlb> X11 output looks terrible
[06:11] <Jas1> are there any apps similar to itunes?
[06:11] <FakeOutdoorsman> crdlb: i guess i should say "workaround" then
[06:11] <crdlb> Jas1: amarok, rhythmbox, banshee, exaile
[06:11] <jacquesmerde> anyone here been successful on installing moodriver on ubuntu? i'm having major trouble
[06:11] <cjae> ok new question does anyone else have problems with ktorrent in a gtk environment???
[06:11] <Jas1> crdlb, thanks
[06:11] <crdlb> FakeOutdoorsman: using mplayer is a much better one
[06:12] <crdlb> since you still get to use Xv
[06:12] <FunnyLookinHat> cjae, you shouldn't...  Ubuntu automatically will install the QT libraries and run the program correctly.
[06:12] <crdlb> Thatguy: make sure you have mplayer set to use the Xv video output
[06:13] <Thatguy> K got it thanks
[06:13] <cjae> FunnyLookinHat, I know it shouldn't but it does especially with any power saving, screen saver stuff enabled
[06:13] <darwin> How do I install plugins for Azureus?
[06:14] <FunnyLookinHat> cjae, that's strange...   I guess you should just try a different torrent client  : (
[06:14] <fsckit> anyone know why i can't display the spanish n in ubuntu?
[06:15] <cjae> can I transfer torrents from gtorrent to ktorrent
[06:15] <darwin> ??
[06:16] <FunnyLookinHat> cjae, When you open the torrent, just select the same save location and it should automatically hash what you have already downloaded  (at least, that's how azurues works)
[06:16] <jacquesmerde> ./configure complains about missing glib-2.0, gobject-2.0, gthread-2.0, sigc++2.0. what packages do i need? i already have libglib2.0-0...
[06:16] <cafuego> jacquesmerde: the -dev packages
[06:16] <cjae> FunnyLookinHat, cool will try
[06:17] <jacquesmerde> cafuego: which ones?
[06:17] <jacquesmerde> cafuego: just libglib2.0-dev?

[06:18] <mobutu> when i 'switch users' in gnome, my mouse stops working.  why is that?
[06:18] <tidrion_> any ideas why I can't get a dvd to to play on feisty when I could on dapper
[06:18] <tidrion_> am I just missing something?
[06:19] <cables> Has anybody noticed any weirdness with Planet Penguin Racer where finish lines show up anywhere?
[06:19] <cjae> how do I debug or create bug reports and what is the difference??
[06:19] <cables> mobutu, I have issues with that also... also, Beryl breaks it for me.
[06:19] <danlock2> from the terminal is there any way to set a default directory for a group
[06:20] <danlock2> from the terminal is there any way to set a default directory for a group?
[06:20] <variant> cjae: debuging is where you try to fix a bug your self by working out what went wrong where, creating a bug report is just where you find a bug but don't know what causes it and you submit it as a report
[06:20] <disinterested> cables have u tried xmoto? im addicted to that game
[06:20] <cables> disinterested, no... what is it?
[06:21] <Yggdrasil> hello, any way to do a hard drive ubuntu installation ?
[06:21] <disinterested> its a motorcycle trials riding type game
[06:21] <cables> Yggdrasil, what do you mean by that?
[06:21] <strabes> xmoto is AMAZING
[06:21] <cables> I'll remember that :)
[06:21] <variant> Yggdrasil: boot the cd, install.
[06:21] <Yggdrasil> cables, i dont have a cd rom
[06:21] <variant> !install | Yggdrasil

[06:22] <disinterested> theres levels in the add and remove synaptic that drive me crazy
[06:22] <Yggdrasil> thanks
[06:22] <cables> Planet Penguin Racer's music is somehow very depressing... I don't know why.

[06:22] <Eythan> Who was I talking to earlier?
[06:22] <fsckit> i got a song with the word pinata in it and it won't copy to ubuntu because of the spanish n? nobody had this prob?
[06:23] <disinterested> i tried penquin racer for about 20 mins and removed it
[06:23] <jacquesmerde> once i've download a packages source, and edit package/debian/rules, how do i install it?
[06:23] <cables> fsckit, that's impossible
[06:23] <danlock2> lol, cables, i've asked questions here before
[06:23] <danlock2> :-P
[06:23] <cables> danlock2, yeah, you just asked the same question twice in like 2 minutes... give it some time!
[06:23] <Eythan> crabgrass There is no text boot option, at least not on my cd
[06:23] <Zoffix> Hi, I've just installed Fiesty and now I have a dual-boot XP and Ubuntu. I have a problem, I access Internet via a wireless card, however I need to install ndiswrapper in order to use it. When I try to compile it it gives me errors that it cannot find some header files. IIRC you need to install some package in order to be able to compile. BUT I can't access Internet from Ubuntu. Is there any way to download the needed package on XP and then install it
[06:23] <fsckit> cables, well, i'm doing it, or ubuntu is
[06:23] <cables> fsckit, if it's an audio file, Ubuntu doesn't care what language is in it.
[06:24] <disinterested> but the latest xmoto is hard
[06:24] <danlock2> um, okay, so does anyone do much with setting up SSH for remote users to use, like when you make their account add it to group sshusers.  Is ther a way to change the default directory for the group?
[06:24] <crdlb> fsckit: copying from where?
[06:24] <fsckit> cables, the file doesn't display the n, it's two rectangles instead and it was burned in XP
[06:24] <fsckit> crdlb, from CD
[06:24] <Yggdrasil> danlock2 you want everyone to have the same home dir ?
[06:24] <cables> fsckit, you mean a song title?
[06:24] <fsckit> crdlb, a data mp3 cd
[06:25] <fsckit> cables, yes
[06:25] <crdlb> that's odd but I blame it on windows
[06:25] <danlock2> yggdrasil: i'm not sure, it seemed that when i created a new user it didn't make them a home dir :-(
[06:25] <FakeOutdoorsman> Zoffix: the header files may be available on your install disc.
[06:25] <cables> fsckit, it's probably because of the weird character... It should play just fine, just rename the file if you want.
[06:25] <fsckit> am i missing a language pack or something?
[06:25] <Yggdrasil> danlock2 i think it does it after they log in?
[06:25] <Eythan> Apparently crabgrass isn't there anymore
[06:25] <disinterested> crdlb windows can take the blame theyre popular
[06:25] <cables> fsckit, no, it's just a weird incompatibility thing between the filesystems on the CD and Ubuntu
[06:26] <danlock2> yggdrasil: yeah, i logged into it.
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> hmm
[06:26] <ioerror> How do I set the per process ulimit on file descriptors? /etc/security/limits.conf doesn't work. I can set it higher as root before spawning my programs, I can't however seem to make it stick unless I explicitly call ulimit in each init.d script. That isn't proper and no changes to limits.conf seems to make any difference on dapper. What gives?
[06:26] <fsckit> cables, can't rename it on the cd but it does play. i just want to copy the cd to my media folder
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> when you log in and do ls
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> what does it show ?
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> and where does it show
[06:26] <cables> fsckit, just rename it after you copy it then
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> and ls /home
