[07:55] <ubotu> Aristotle: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:55] <vixus> A brit?
[07:55] <gnomefreak> PriceChild: ?
[07:55] <ramvi> jrib, http://paste.uni.cc/12411
[07:55] <FirstStrike> so, what would cause me to have no sound when i play any video, yet have mp3s work just fine in xmms?
[07:56] <Nox754> Is there disk fragmentation in Linux? Does this depend on the file system?
[07:56] <sc0tty> FirstStrike: do you have more than 1 sound card ?
[07:56] <PriceChild> gnomefreak, Aristotle but Lj L got there :P
[07:56] <FirstStrike> sc0tty:yes
[07:56] <vixus> FirstStrike: What kind of video, what codecs have you got installed?
[07:56] <jrib> ramvi: do the commands work ok if you enter them in your terminal yourself after starting xgl?
[07:56] <vixus> FirstStrike: Your video player audio settings?
[07:56] <sc0tty> FirstStrike: then your video player (or maybe all gnome) is trying to use the unplugged card
[07:56] <ramvi> jrib, no. It doesnt do anything and doesnt return anything
[07:56] <FirstStrike> Any video. Period. And I have the appropriate codec as well as the win32 codecs installed.
[07:57] <sc0tty> a way to solve it is by unloading the driver for the unused card
[07:57] <FirstStrike> I already went into the settings and set it to my sound audigy 2
[07:57] <jrib> ramvi: does it just drop you at a new prompt?
[07:57] <FirstStrike> Which is what I have selected in the volume manager
[07:57] <ramvi> jrib, yeah
[07:57] <linux_kid> vixus: edgy is a generic kernel, so therefore, if you have special drivers that you want, use dapper.  Certian drivers dont work on generic kernels
[07:58] <vixus> linux_kid: So I can't use Edgy with my nvidia card on an AMD64 laptop?
[07:58] <a|ex> is the optimus keyboard fully compatible with ubuntu ?
[07:58] <sc0tty> I'm trying to backup the HD of a crashed windows box. it's a laptop with a Turion 64 by AMD
[07:58] <vixus> a|ex: I answered that.
[07:58] <sc0tty> I booted on a 6.06 AMD64 cd
[07:59] <sc0tty> and mounted the HD fine
[07:59] <a|ex> vixus: sorry I disconnected
[07:59] <linux_kid> vixus: i have to use dapper because linuxant (wifidriver) dosent work in generic kernels.  I assume the same for adm64 chips...
[07:59] <a|ex> vixus: can you tell me again ?
[07:59] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows how to get streaming webcam working with kopete or any IM?
[07:59] <Baptiste> hi
[07:59] <ramvi> jrib, wierd, eh?
[07:59] <sc0tty> but when I scp the contents over to my server , the files with accentuated characters in the names (   ...) aren't copied :s
[07:59] <jrib> ramvi: yeah
[07:59] <Baptiste> do you know how to read a VP6 ON2 video with Ubuntu ?
[07:59] <Zaggynl> It seems to work when previewing, but all my contacts tell me they get 'the contact has its webcam turned off'
[08:00] <sc0tty> anyway to copy these files?
[08:00] <Baptiste> mplayer says [flv @ 0x839e060] Unsupported video codec (4)
[08:00] <a|ex> vixus: a link ?
[08:00] <vixus> a|ex: Google "optimus keyboard linux"
[08:01] <a|ex> vixus: done that, I got reviews from 2005
[08:01] <vixus> a|ex: Really? I got a freshmeat project for Open Optimus and the Optimus Mini driver for linux
[08:01] <a|ex> vixus: what that your answer ?
[08:01] <a|ex> vixus: try you'll see
[08:02] <vixus> a|ex: I don't have access to a proper gui environment right now so I can't copy and paste links but that's what I got for my Google search. google.co.uk
[08:02] <a|ex> vixus: so I should not buy it now right ?
[08:02] <vixus> a|ex: Go ahead.
[08:02] <vixus> linux_kid: So can I just do a dapper install over my edgy one? Isn't dapper worse?
[08:02] <a|ex> vixus: sure ? no joke right ?
[08:03] <ramvi> jrib, any ideas?
[08:03] <vixus> a|ex: I have no idea how far these projects have gone but if you really want one go for it. Seriously, I didn't even know they were on sale yet.
[08:03] <foob> whoever wrote this must be a ubuntu user http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/04/08/DDG27BCFLG1.DTL
[08:04] <vixus> linux_kid: Or should I just wait for a release that fixes the issue and just get rid of Ubuntu for now?
[08:04] <jrib> ramvi: not really, it seems like it would be an XGL issue, but I can't find anything about it
[08:04] <foob> oops thought i was in offtopic
[08:04] <linux_kid> vixus: welll.... the kernels aren't very dirrerent and it has LTS, but im no pro @ 64bit's, so get someone else's opinion before mine..
[08:05] <linux_kid> vixus: you have your /home on a seperate partition, right?
[08:05] <vixus> linux_kid: Sure
[08:05] <wilee85> does anyone know of a text-based irc client?
[08:05] <vixus> a|ex: Search for Open Optimus
[08:05] <foob> wilee85 irssi, comes with ubuntu
[08:05] <vixus> a|ex: It lets you use your optimus on linux.
[08:06] <b0bbi3> hey all, can someone help me with a PCMCIA nic issue in Dapper?
[08:06] <a|ex> vixus: cool and what about icons ?
[08:07] <vixus> a|ex: I don't know, I don't have one. :D
[08:07] <a|ex> vixus: ok thanks
[08:07] <b0bbi3> I am confused as to whether this card is even supported or not.
[08:08] <vixus> linux_kid: But I'm just thinking I might as well get rid of Ubuntu for now, I wasn't going to use it for much except maybe graphics and web design work... but I can't run photoshop on it, so there's no point.
[08:08] <finn> hi
[08:08] <vixus> a|ex: No probs. :)
[08:08] <shawn____> grr. with irssi, how to I make my display name not shawn____?
[08:08] <vixus> a|ex: Have fun with the keyboard, it looks neat.
[08:08] <vixus> shawn____: /nick bla
[08:08] <finn> what do I need to do to get the packet openbox installed?
[08:08] <CreativeEmbassy> vixus: I'm in the exact same boat you're in
[08:08] <rogue> vixus: thanks
[08:09] <CreativeEmbassy> freelance work? job? just for fun?
[08:09] <stuporglue_> b0bbi3: What's happening with your card?
[08:09] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: #1 and #3
[08:09] <CreativeEmbassy> rock on
[08:09] <CreativeEmbassy> same here
[08:09] <CreativeEmbassy> why I'm not sure about ubuntu either
[08:09] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: What's your problem with Ubuntu? :o
[08:09] <CreativeEmbassy> The programs I need to run aren't here.
[08:09] <linux_kid> vixus: i have hear numerous accounts of photoshop workinf through wine
[08:10] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: Well, I quite enjoy linux' speed and I was able to run photoshop through wine
[08:10] <finn> apt-get install openbox   says the packet doesnt exist
[08:10] <CreativeEmbassy> I tried VMware, and everything runs much slower.
[08:10] <vixus> linux_kid: I know, I had done it.
[08:10] <CreativeEmbassy> I use the entire macromedia and adobe suites though
[08:10] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: Ah, okay... I'm not that
[08:10] <CreativeEmbassy> adobe after effects for instance, won't run whatsoever
[08:10] <vixus> established yet. ;)
[08:10] <finn> anybody?
[08:10] <vixus> Well, my Ubuntu has just been using up HDD space
[08:10] <Shaba1> the entire suite CreativeEmbassy?? even shockwave?
[08:11] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_: The card is detected but I cannot get an IP via DHCP and when I specify an IP I cannot ping out
[08:11] <CreativeEmbassy> well, the entire creative suite
[08:11] <vixus> I think I'll remove it and free up space for my windows games and programs.
[08:11] <CreativeEmbassy> for each
[08:11] <CreativeEmbassy> s
[08:11] <CreativeEmbassy> so
[08:11] <linux_kid> finn: sudo apt-get install [package name]
[08:11] <vixus> Until I ge an external hard drive or something
[08:11] <foob> it would be pretty bad for apple/microsoft if that stuff ran smoothly on ubuntu
[08:11] <vieirar> Hi could someone point me in the right direction to get DRI working on my ATI xpress 200 video card with the Open Source ATI drivers.
[08:11] <vixus> :D
[08:11] <vixus> foob: That's our job. :0
[08:11] <CreativeEmbassy> only a little director, but I use fireworks, flash, dreamweaver pretty frequently
[08:11] <finn> yes linux_kid but the packet isn't found
[08:11] <linux_kid> vixus: well, if it takes up hdd space, trash it and wait
[08:11] <vixus> linux_kid: Will do. :)
[08:11] <finn> after a fresh install.  do I need to update some sources.list or something?
[08:11] <linux_kid> finn: search synaptic
[08:11] <rocky> anyone have any idea if there is any plan to update edgy eft's python2.4 to python 2.4.4 final ?
[08:12] <vieirar> I believe the experimental radion r300 mesa drivers will work
[08:12] <humbolto> is there a tool available to backup a whole partition?
[08:12] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: Well, looks like it's goodbye Ubuntu for now
[08:12] <CreativeEmbassy> same with photoshop, image ready, illustrator, premiere, after fx, audition, indesign, etc...
[08:12] <CreativeEmbassy> Yeah
[08:12] <stuporglue_> b0bbi3: Have you tried bringing it down and up via the command line?
[08:12] <craigbass1976> I did an apt-get remove postgresql, then installed postgres 8.1, but when I type psql, I'm in 7.4.  Why didn'tt hat get removed?
[08:12] <CreativeEmbassy> Actually, I'm trying to figure out if I can sell my computer and my girlfriend's old college one, and get a Mac.
[08:12] <CreativeEmbassy> Which is technically running linux now, right? :-D
[08:12] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: That would be a good choice.
[08:13] <vixus> Sorta
[08:13] <rogue> vixus: one more question...if I join multiple channels, how to I switch between them in irssi?
[08:13] <noelferreira> i just installed new drivers from ati and i got this error: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[08:13] <noelferreira> direct rendering: No
[08:13] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_: Yah, I tried but it didn't help
[08:13] <vixus> rogue: Even I'd like to know that one
[08:13] <finn> linux_kid: that wont help much since it's a graphical package manager and I'm trying to install a window manager...
[08:13] <hemppa> hi, i think that i have found a bug from edgy. what should i do?
[08:13] <linux_kid> CreativeEmbassy: its like running UNIX, not linux
[08:13] <Lunar_Lamp> finn, what are you trying to install?
[08:13] <finn> openbox
[08:13] <stuporglue_> bobbi3: What does 'lspci' say about the card?
[08:13] <linux_kid> finn: good point
[08:14] <linux_kid> finn: whats the package called agian?
[08:14] <finn> I already installed  xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-core
[08:14] <vixus> CreativeEmbassy: Is Linux a UNIX... derivative?
[08:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Also, finn, whilst I don't like it, there is an ncurses interface for aptitude (just type "aptitude" on the CLI to get it).
[08:14] <finn> openbox  I would think
[08:14] <EdLin> linux_kid: actually, although it has BSD userland, it's like running NeXTStep.
[08:14] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_: Will lspci show the card if it's a PCMCIA card?
[08:14] <tafsen> what's the command for checking what gateway im using?
[08:14] <linux_kid> Linux is NOT a UNIX deragative, it simply copies some of unix's compunents
[08:14] <Lunar_Lamp> finn, I think you have X installed you can just type "startx" to get a basic x-session.
[08:15] <stuporglue_> bobbi3: My firefwire card PCMCIA card shows up in lspci right now
[08:15] <EdLin> vixus: Linux is a "Unix-like" operating system.
[08:15] <vixus> linux_kid: What's the easiest way to take Ubuntu off my HDD? I forgot to put /boot on a seperate partition so grub will die
[08:15] <EdLin> vixus: "derivitive" of course implies that it was made from it, rather it's a clean implementation.
[08:15] <vixus> yeah
[08:15] <vixus> i knew it wasn't made from unix
[08:15] <vixus> I just couldn't think of the right word
[08:15] <linux_kid> vixus: you want to use windows only, right?
[08:15] <rogue> vixus: it's alt + number
[08:16] <vixus> linux_kid: Yeah, for now
[08:16] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_:  I can see the cardbus bridge for the PCMCIA slots but not the card.
[08:16] <rogue> or alt + right or left
[08:16] <vixus> rogue: Nice one
[08:16] <finn> Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
[08:16] <tafsen> what's the command for checking what gateway im using?
[08:16] <JediSpam> so is it my understanding that the G965 chipset isn't too good for 6.10 on core 2 duo?
[08:16] <vixus> rogue: No, wait, that changes my commandline
[08:16] <finn> brb
[08:16] <kasia> helo
[08:17] <kasia> hello
[08:17] <rogue> vixus: not for me. it might be that I'm using irssi over ssh on a windows computer?
[08:17] <linux_kid> vixus: make your ext# partition(s) free space and same with your swap.  Then resize your NTFS partition
[08:17] <kasia> cze
[08:17] <stuporglue_> bobbi3: Are you sure you have the modules loaded for 1) the PCMCIA itself (ie. do other PCMCIA cards work?) and for 2) The ethernet card?
[08:17] <kasia> jestem nowa
[08:17] <finn> back
[08:17] <vixus> linux_kid: And then fixmbr with a windows disc?
[08:17] <finn> could not open default font 'fixed'  :(
[08:17] <rogue> vixus: http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/faq/entries/Irssi_key_overlap.htmlLcfnt
[08:17] <linux_kid> vixus: yes, that should fix the mbr...
[08:18] <vixus> rogue: I won't be using irssi anymore anyway.
[08:18] <vixus> linux_kid: Thanks
[08:18] <linux_kid> welcome :)
[08:18] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_: The card shows up in Device Manager and Network, it also shows up in ifconfig. I also verified that the card works in a Windows laptop.
[08:18] <rogue> I't better than mirc when I have to use my windows box
[08:18] <vixus> Ok, it was a good try but I'll leave Ubuntu off my laptop right now, I have it on my university desktop anyway
[08:18] <vixus> so I'll see it after the holidays XD
[08:19] <b0bbi3> stuporglue_:my only other PCMCIA card is a wireless nic
[08:19] <vixus> I wish there was a distro that emulated an OS X like environment
[08:19] <finn> what could cause this problem?
[08:19] <vixus> no? ok.
[08:20] <rogue> vixus: I wish there was a distro that could emulate windows 100%
[08:20] <vixus> I don't
[08:20] <vixus> I'm bored of windows.
[08:20] <vixus> LD
[08:20] <rogue> so I could play battlefield 2142 and leave windows behind forever
[08:20] <vixus> But for games and stuff, yeah.
[08:20] <rogue> and use dreamweaver, and dragon natrually speaking
[08:20] <vixus> But I just want a distro that pretends to be OS X because it's possible
[08:21] <rogue> vixus: you should make one
[08:21] <vixus> rogue: I wouldn't know where to begin. :)
[08:21] <noelferreira> anyone with the new drievers from ati working fine? i got this error Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[08:21] <noelferreira> direct rendering: No
[08:21] <vixus> rogue: I would if I could though, I think it could be sorta popular
[08:21] <rogue> or get the project started...
[08:21] <hikenboot> hello all---If I want to locate all the config files on a hard drive and copy them to a directory..what would be the quickest way to do that...i assume it would be somthing like locate *.conf | cp but not sure what the syntax would be ...anyone able to help
[08:21] <finn> do I need to install some extra packets for fonts?
[08:21] <rogue> vixus: if I knew how to really program, I'd be all for making that happen
[08:22] <vixus> Creating Linux Distributions for Dummies
[08:22] <vixus> Can someone write that, please? :D
[08:22] <rogue> call it "Open X" or some **** like that
[08:22] <rogue> lol
[08:22] <vixus> Watch the language.
[08:22] <vixus> XD
[08:22] <rogue> I ****ed myself
[08:22] <vixus> I know.
[08:22] <vixus> I may look into it though.
[08:23] <rogue> **** is a coverterm for poop ;)
[08:23] <vixus> :D
[08:23] <stuporglue_> bobbi3: What device does it show up as in infconfig, and what are the settings for that device in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[08:23] <vixus> But it would probably need a custom window manager and such.
[08:23] <finn> anybody have an idea?
[08:23] <derFlo> i need a program to burn a DVD+R DL.
[08:23] <vixus> derFlo: They come with ubuntu, no?
[08:23] <Zaggynl> Anyone here got webcam+MSN client working?
[08:24] <vixus> ok, removing ubuntu, brb
[08:24] <joeljkp> can someone tell me what the default php include_dir is on ubuntu?
[08:24] <derFlo> vixus: k3b cant burn brasero cant burn them
[08:25] <Zaggynl> gnomebaker

[08:30] <joebaker> faluce:  the command  "free" might give you the results you are looking for.
[08:30] <finn> do I have to change something in the sources.list so that I can install openbox??
[08:30] <Music_Shuffle> paranoia16, Dapper or Edgy?
[08:30] <paranoia16> dapper
[08:30] <finn> I'd really like a WM.. :o
[08:30] <bilss_> Music_Shuffle thanks
[08:30] <Marc1> I'm running 2.6.17-10-386 for the kernel.  Doesn't edgy have a -686 variant?
[08:30] <Music_Shuffle> There's a ubuntuforums thread then paranoia16
[08:30] <Music_Shuffle> Np.
[08:31] <imbrandon> Marc1, -generic is the 686+ variant
[08:31] <Music_Shuffle> Marc1, edgy has a -generic.
[08:31] <Marc1> imbrandon: but why the -386 from uname -a?
[08:31] <paranoia16> does it bog down your system a lot?
[08:31] <imbrandon> Marc1, you need to sudo apt-get install linux-generic , for it to be installed
[08:31] <Music_Shuffle> Beryl?
[08:31] <joebaker> I have a Pentium D 915  (Dual Core, 64 bit machine)  I used the Alternate Desktop install cd.  I'm not getting SMP (multiprocessor) support.  How to I change to a different kernel?  Current kernel is....
[08:31] <Music_Shuffle> Not at all, what sort of GFX setup do yo uhave?
[08:32] <joebaker> Current kernel is 2.6.17-10-generic
[08:32] <paranoia16> i have a geforce 5500fx
[08:32] <Marc1> imbrandon: I do have linux-generic installed.  Does it include both -386 and -686?
[08:32] <imbrandon> joebaker, that is a smp kernel
[08:32] <Music_Shuffle> paranoia16, I get zero slowdown at all with a 6800XT.
[08:32] <Music_Shuffle> YOu should be just fine.
[08:32] <Music_Shuffle> You*
[08:32] <joebaker> imbrandon:   top only shows one cpu.
[08:33] <imbrandon> Marc1, no , but you must choose it on the grub menu when booting
[08:33] <paranoia16> where is the post you mentioned? there are a lot, which is the best?
[08:33] <imbrandon> joebaker, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[08:33] <joebaker> ok
[08:33] <Marc1> imbrandon: Hmm, I see in /boot both a -386 and -generic.
[08:34] <imbrandon> Marc1, exactly, you just dident choose -generic in the grub menu when booting
[08:34] <andrew> I'm compling the linux kernel
[08:34] <joebaker> is there a pastebot for this channel?
[08:34] <andrew> and what is MTD support
[08:34] <andrew> ????
[08:34] <andrew> is it for normal memory
[08:34] <imbrandon> joebaker, paste.ubutnu-nl.org
[08:34] <paranoia16> ok, i found a place to dl some .deb, but, which is the best? there is the plugins, emerald, settings,  mesa, and more. where is all this explained?
[08:34] <andrew> this is my bro and sis's comp and they don't do much of anything
[08:35] <knapp_> What program can convert m4a to mp3?
[08:35] <Marc1> imbrandon: thanks.  Just changed the default=2.  Rebooting....
[08:36] <imbrandon> np
[08:36] <imbrandon> bbiab
[08:36] <jonathan_> Hi all...
[08:36] <joebaker> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38150/   iimbrandon:  here's the url.
[08:36] <jonathan_> I've been trying Ubuntu for the last few weeks on a laptop (6.10) - very impressed so far
[08:37] <pluma> Does anybody know what's up with this? My system monitor tells me that of my 100 gig /usr partition 50% is used. The sum of all files (hidden included, accessed as root) is only 11.6G -- where does the other 40G come from?
[08:37] <ubitux> pluma you can use baobab if you're running on edgy
[08:37] <joebaker> imbrandon:  that paste sure doesn't look like I have the Pentium D 915 processor in it does it?
[08:38] <pluma> ubitux: I'm on Dapper
[08:38] <imbrandon> joebaker, one sec
[08:38] <Pelo> anyone know where I can get one of those nice transparent analogic desktop clocks like in vista ?
[08:38] <imbrandon> joebaker, yea thats not a pentium d ( i have a pent d also )
[08:38] <pluma> Pelo: tried Desklets?
[08:38] <imbrandon> i have a p-d- 930
[08:39] <Pelo> pluma,  aren'T those for the dashboard ?
[08:39] <ubitux> pluma, you can try with the options of df maybe
[08:39] <ubitux> pluma, have you count hidden files ?
[08:39] <pluma> ubitux: Yes.
[08:40] <joebaker> imbrandon:  Thanks for your help.  Do you run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu.  Would you recommend it as an LTSP server?  Or should I just run a 32 bit smb kernel for simplicity's sake?
[08:41] <ubitux> pluma you can try "sudo apt-get install baobab"...
[08:42] <pluma> ubitux: For some reason it didn't count /usr/local/.tmp, which is worth 40 gigs
[08:42] <imbrandon> joebaker, upto you , but 64bit is fine for me
[08:42] <imbrandon> brb afk a few
[08:44] <pluma> ubitux: Thanks.
[08:44] <SiCuTDeUx> hi all!

[08:45] <SiCuTDeUx> using cherokee mysql phpmyadmin
[08:45] <SiCuTDeUx> how can i configure cherookee with phpmyadmin?
[08:45] <sharperguy> where are the .desktop files for the gdm xsession choices?
[08:45] <SiCuTDeUx> i did install php and phpmyadmin throw aptitude
[08:46] <sharperguy> i know what was probably bad terminolagy
[08:46] <ubitux> pluma, no pb ^^
[08:47] <elriah> Hi all.  Is there an easy way to get an entire FTP directory tree from a remote server?
[08:48] <jogrev> hello, does anyone know how to edit session startup cmds through terminal?

[08:49] <GhoSt_DoG> lol
[08:50] <pluma> Oh, btw, here's a not-quite-Ubuntu-related one: After a cold reboot I was greeted with "SYSTEM DRIVE BOOT ERROR" or some such goodness. My primary master (on which Linux is installed) is set up as first drive in the boot sequence, so this was a little bit alarming. I rebooted again and pressed F11 to select the boot drive manually, chose the default (primary master) and then GRUB came up and all was well -- but when it selects the default automa
[08:50] <pluma> tically, it still fails. Is my BIOS wrecked or something?
[08:51] <tafsen> Is it possible to get World of warcraft to work with a Intel Graphic vard?
[08:51] <tafsen> *card
[08:51] <Music_Shuffle> Possible =/= good performance.
[08:51] <pluma> It doesn't bother me much as I don't reboot much, but it's a little odd that I have to select the *defaults* manually for it to work. Automatically, it'll go straight to Boot from CD (although the CD drives come later in the boot sequence than the HDDs) and fail.
[08:51] <jogrev> anyone know where session startup cmds are stored? kinda stuck in a failsafe terminal :/
[08:52] <tafsen> I don't need good performance
[08:52] <tafsen> I just need it to be playable .p
[08:52] <pluma> tafsen: Don't play WoW. It's evil.
[08:53] <redDEADresolve> i just updated my ati driver and everything is working great except the login screen. the resolution is wonky. i can only see about 40 percent of the login screen
[08:54] <pike_> jogrev: id guess somewhere under ~/.gconf/ you could just "rm -fr ~/.g" :)
[08:54] <tafsen> pluma, I know it's evil :P but it's fun!!
[08:54] <pike_> joebaker: er .g*
[08:55] <pluma> tafsen: Not really. Feels too much like work. The quests are horribly unmotivated too. =P

[08:56] <tafsen> pluma, I allready got a lvl 60 char, so I know how it is :P I stopped playing when I changed from Windows to Linux, but Now I want WoW for the hollidays, so I can play with some friends :)
[08:57] <knapp_> I'm trying to make a script that searches my entire system for m4a files and coverts them to mp3 (using ffmpeg). I made a script that converts them, but how can I make it so it does the entire system?
[08:57] <Shaba1> ok by default ubuntu uses gnome
[08:57] <Shaba1> That is at the login screen too.
[08:57] <jrib> knapp_: use find with -exec
[08:57] <pluma> tafsen: I have to agree that that kind of pointless grind CAN be a nice waste of time. The human mind loves having a feeling of accomplishment every now and then, no matter how unproductive it really can be ;)
[08:57] <Rprp> riof
[08:57] <Shaba1> how do you get it to check against a directory server and NOT use local accounts
[08:58] <Music_Shuffle> Honestly, I use the XFCE login screen just beacuse...I like the look more. xD

[09:00] <welp> anyone? where in the kernel can i find the cyclic redunancy-check?
[09:00] <ubuntu> anyone can help me with kubuntu installation ?
[09:01] <Rprp> Where can i find a SMP kernel? (How to install with apt-get)
[09:01] <pluma> Oh, another problem: When I'm on Gnome, using WINE, GuildWars (in DirectX 8 mode) renders fine, except for the text which is replaced with pixel artifacts (noise from other parts of the screen etc). When I fire up an XGL based GNOME session (for Compiz), the same game renders like shite, half the surfaces are black or missing, the fps can be represented with fractions, BUT the text works fine. Any idea on how I can get the best of both worlds?
[09:01] <mark_> irc.it.hdpublishing.net
[09:01] <mark_> sorry
[09:01] <ubuntu> :E
[09:02] <ubuntu> che server  quello ?
[09:03] <pluma> ... Could it be Nautilus aborts file moves/copies if there's a file starting with a - in the queue? Seems that way to me.
[09:03] <D7k> is it very hard to install a graphical environment on ubuntu server?
[09:03] <Vixus> linux_kid: hey again, do you know of a partitioning tool I can use to remove the partitions?
[09:03] <H3g3m0n> D7k: You can probably just apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[09:03] <blue-frog> D7k: no just   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:04] <blue-frog> Vixus: gparted
[09:04] <ubuntu> :|
[09:04] <D7k> blue-frog: ok, but I want to use fluxbox
[09:04] <Vixus> blue-frog: I'm on Windows and I want to remove my ubuntu partitions.
[09:04] <blue-frog> Vixus: use windows tools then
[09:05] <blue-frog> D7k: xubuntu-desktop
[09:05] <Vixus> blue-frog: Which ones...?
[09:05] <ubuntu> Vixus: partition magic
[09:05] <ubuntu> :E
[09:05] <CountDown> Has anyone else had trouble getting Amarok to play MP3s in Edgy?
[09:05] <Vixus> Don't want to buy it...

[09:05] <ubuntu> crack it...
[09:05] <Vixus> Oh
[09:05] <blue-frog> Vixus: windows tools...
[09:06] <ubuntu> anyone can help me with kubuntu installation ?
[09:06] <Vixus> Well, can't I just use the one on the Ubuntu liveCD?
[09:06] <daisuki> list
[09:06] <pluma> What's the best way to resize and move your usr and var partitions if both are on the same physical drive? I'd guess I should boot up with the live CD, resize the usr partition, create a new var partition, move the old var's contents, then delete the old var?
[09:06] <ubuntu> Vixus: YES
[09:06] <blue-frog> vixus also yes
[09:06] <ubuntu> *y
[09:06] <pluma> (in my case usr is hdx1, var is hdx2)
[09:06] <blue-frog> Vixus: but why won't you use windows to rmove the partition is a mystery to me then..
[09:07] <wy> anybody using Ubuntu on an ibm T60?
[09:07] <Vixus> blue-frog: Windows can't see the partition
[09:07] <ubuntu> blue-frog: can you help me with kubuntu installation ?
[09:07] <Nyimen> awesome

[09:09] <pozitron> ubuntu: It has been a while since I installed my kubuntu desktop,   What specifically are you confused about?
[09:09] <blue-frog> ubuntu: on 3 different partitions
[09:09] <mb___> anyone have any idea why it would be giving me floating point errors?
[09:09] <zzzerotime> how does bluez-pin work?

[09:10] <blue-frog> ubuntu: if you have no space left oyu either resize the ntfs partition or erase entire disk..
[09:11] <zzzerotime> what is the best way to manage a sony ericsson with bluetooth on gnome?
[09:11] <zzzerotime> can anyone help? thanks
[09:11] <ubuntu> i can choose to make "/" in hdc1,hdc2,hdc3 and hdd1 (windows,debian,debian swap and stuff disk)
[09:12] <ubuntu> :(
[09:12] <ubuntu> equal swap
[09:12] <tdog> how can i fix , my problem ?
[09:13] <D7k> maybe I should just install ubuntu desktop version instead of the server edition
[09:13] <pozitron> Well, if you are going to dual boot then you don't want to make root (/) on the windows partition.  Make it on the debian partition (if there is no other OS installed on that location)  The /swap should go on the debian swap and the stuff disk could be anything you would like to call it.
[09:15] <ubuntu> on debian partition ? O_o why i can't make an "hdc4" on the same disk ?
[09:15] <tdog> installed linux, now is dual boot .. when i boot linux , i get some number showing and at the end entry saying , can not fix automatilcaly .. i knew there was a file that i could modify so scan disk wont work on window partion but i forgot the name of the file
[09:15] <tony22> how would you go about scanning a book into a searchable ebook w pictures?
[09:15] <joebaker> imbrandon: The Bios of this Dell says it's an Intel Pentium D 2.8 Ghz.  Multiple core capable.
[09:17] <pozitron> If you have space available to make another partition (as hdc4) then that works too.  The only thing to remember is that if you are dual booting, windows wants to be on the first partition on the primary drive.  Otherwise I believe that Linux has no restrictions about the partition it gets installed on.
[09:17] <joris__> Hi anyone here any experience with enabling va out with a intel card?

[09:19] <pluma> D7K: Green deficiency? Common form of "colour blindness" among men...
[09:19] <D7k> but sometimes i call orange green
[09:19] <D7k> never call green orange though
[09:19] <Shaba1> Oh
[09:19] <coolzone> Hi, I am doing some research on opensource software, I need to understand what the difference is between Debian stable packages and Ubuntu stable packages. As I can see, if I havent made a mistake, is that Debian stable is running xf86 as X but Ubuntu is running Xorg, which ofcourse is much newer.
[09:19] <D7k> just sometimes my brain slips
[09:20] <D7k> I hit my head one time really hard, ever since, some things are a bit scrambled
[09:20] <blue-frog> pluma yes you can size your partition the way you want
[09:20] <Shaba1> Ok
[09:21] <tdog> how to stop linux disk scan from scanning window partition ??
[09:21] <Shaba1> How do I put a shortcut to a windows program running under wine on the gnome deskto?

[09:22] <pluma> Shabal: Try creating a shortcut to the program in quotes with the command "wine" (no quotes) before it
[09:22] <pluma> Shabal: e.g. wine "/home/shabal/c/windows/minesweeper.exe"

[09:24] <D7k> pluma: yeah, haha, I haven't found the drugs to correct it yet either\
[09:24] <alephant> I've got a newly-installed dapper system, and an old dapper system
[09:25] <pluma> D7K: MJ works. It doesn't fix you, but it makes you not care anymore ;)
[09:25] <alephant> the new one has only /dev/loop (directory); the old one has /dev/loop the directory as well as /dev/loop[0-7]
[09:25] <alephant> Why?
[09:25] <D7k> pluma: haha, duly noted
[09:25] <alephant> And, more importantly, how do I get /dev/loop[0-7]  on the new system?
[09:25] <Winter> hmm, so i have a new 8800 video card and installed the beta NVIDIA drivers for it (as provided by NVIDIA, rather than one of the repositories) and i seem to boot without X working... modprobing the drivers does not work, but re-installing the NVIDIA driver does... anyone know what the fix is?
[09:26] <Shaba1> how do I set the icon for that shortcut and is the process the same as in windows just rightclick and choose "create shortcut"
[09:26] <Shaba1> ?
[09:26] <tdog> how can i edit fstab ? i have no permission  any help
[09:26] <Winter> sudo?

[09:27] <Winter> and you don't have permissions?
[09:27] <coolzone> does stable in ubuntu has less quality control than debian stable?
[09:27] <Winter> hm, try sudo vi

When I did a Cat /proc/cpuinfo  (I RAN IT ON THE WRONG MACHINE!!  -- embarrassed.  )  Ubuntu handles this 915 Pentium D just fine after all.
[10:11] <Music_Shuffle> You ran it..

[10:14] <randy> linux
[10:15] <frafra> schisms: I don't know, is a "unknown device"
[10:15] <frafra> it could be ati or intel
[10:15] <joebaker> music_shuffle.  Yeah!  Quite funny.  Just glad it wasn't a shutdown command.  Once Jeremy White of Codeweavers/Wine fame shutdown the Wine webserver by mistake because of a similair mistake.  He thought he was rebooting his local laptop.  At least he had the excuse that he was typing between two different console/xterms on the same machine.  I made the mistake on two different keyboards!
[10:15] <Surghi> hi
[10:15] <schisms> if it's intel you're in luck
[10:15] <randy> i need help giys

[10:15] <schisms> randy, try googling flash player 9
[10:15] <Surghi> I think I zip wrong ... the manual says    "zip -r foo foo"  where  the last  "foo" is the zip file and  the first "foo" is the directory to be zipped
[10:15] <randy> i did
[10:15] <Finnj> if you use Firefox, it should get the flash player running pretty much out of the box Randy
[10:15] <randy> but like it wont install
[10:16] <Surghi> root@box:/home/zz# zip -r /home/user/ homeuserzip
[10:16] <Surghi>         zip warning: name not matched: homeuserzip

[10:16] <Surghi> thats my problem
[10:16] <randy> not really it doesnt work like that for me
[10:16] <schisms> randy, that's a normal problem.
[10:16] <schisms> what happens?
[10:16] <rapid> randy, you just copy the .so file to the /plugin directory of firefox
[10:16] <randy> what happens then
[10:16] <schisms> The window just closes?
[10:16] <randy> wheres the plug in directory
[10:16] <frafra> schisms: fedora 6 works, edgy doesn't work...  I installed opera for testing my webpage. Xchat started to open all links in opera. So i dedicated to remove opera. Now all pages are opened by gnome-terminal. Like, whats wrong with xchat? Prefferred app.. is webbrowser set to firefox.
[10:17] <schisms> where it says sound playback
[10:18] <schisms> See what it says
[10:18] <rapid> randy: do a locate firefox find where its at , then copy the file to the plugin dir.
[10:18] <schisms> Usually it autodetects.
[10:18] <randy> where is locate firefox
[10:18] <randy> i need a more detailed description
[10:18] <rapid> randy: open a terminal, and type locate firefox
[10:18] <randy> kk
[10:18] <schisms> randy, I'm pretty sure it's under /usr/bin/firefox/plugins
[10:18] <randy> ok
[10:18] <randy> what do i type after i located firefox
[10:19] <frafra> schisms: if I try to set it, he says:

[10:26] <Kinhoshi> Ok, thanks.
[10:26] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: try starting with man xauth
[10:26] <A-L-P-H-A> rapid, was that for me? the kismet?
[10:26] <innu> Hey. I installed opera for testing my webpage. Xchat started to open all links in opera. So i dedicated to remove opera. Now all pages are opened by gnome-terminal. Like, whats wrong with xchat? Prefferred app.. is webbrowser set to firefox.
[10:26] <rapid> A-L-P-H-A, that should work
[10:26] <MasterLexx> any hints regarding linux, notebooks and acpi? does it work? i have heard of not so good acpi support on linux
[10:26] <sushi_> khaled: yes
[10:27] <cymuHep> i used this command and he didnt copy
[10:27] <cymuHep>  cp -rf index.html /opt/lampp/htdocs
[10:27] <Finnj> Khaled, that smells of trouble though, but possible.. the different distros packages might be configured how to use /home
[10:27] <A-L-P-H-A> rapid, thought kismet was just for detection... not helping me connect to them automatically.  Something like http://gtkwifi.sourceforge.net/
[10:27] <virtual-voicu> btiffin: finally something closer to what i asked
[10:27] <CreativeEmbassy> has anyone had successful experiences running ubuntu on an iMac?
[10:27] <rapid> ah ok
[10:27] <Finnj> differently
[10:27] <rapid> A-L-P-H-A, theres like a WPA-GUI

[10:28] <cymuHep> i used this command on my Terminal with root acc and he didnt copy
[10:28] <cymuHep>  cp -rf index.html /opt/lampp/htdocs
[10:28] <virtual-voicu> because when i select remote connection in kdm there is no error just that nothin appears
[10:28] <cymuHep> help?
[10:28] <rapid> cymuHep, just type cp index.html /opt/lampp/htdocs
[10:29] <CotRo|eR> how can I limit /home/examplefolder to 40GB ?
[10:29] <rapid> cymuHep, -rf are recursive flags say if it was a directory.
[10:29] <Finnj> cymuHep. you need to put sudo in front
[10:29] <dllh> where can one find sources for packages that ubuntu's package manager installs?
[10:29] <dllh> (local sources)
[10:29] <dllh> (to compile other software against)
[10:29] <sushi_> virtual-voicu: the Remote Desktop configuration gui does not appear?
[10:30] <JerryM|> Does anyone know if I can get OpenGL support for my Intel 82845G/GL graphics card?
[10:30] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: umm, I think the path will be set in .basrc (or .profile etc...) upon login to the remote node
[10:30] <innu> Hey. I installed opera for testing my webpage. Xchat started to open all links in opera. So i dedicated to remove opera. Now all pages are opened by gnome-terminal. Like, whats wrong with xchat? Prefferred app.. is webbrowser set to firefox.
[10:30] <sushi_> CotRo|er you are looking for the term disk quota
[10:30] <virtual-voicu> sushi_: i don't want to use a remote desktop (like in windows). i want to use X as a server on my machine and connect it to the other one
[10:30] <cymuHep> sudo?
[10:30] <delta> I've problem with opengl. Someone wanting to help?
[10:30] <sushi_> CotRo|er and im unsure how to install it
[10:30] <cymuHep> it dont copy
[10:30] <khaled> another question, what do u guys think of linux mint 2.1, do u think i should give it a try>
[10:31] <amaia> where can I find the info to add a new place for gnome-weather not included in the default install?
[10:31] <CotRo|eR> sushi_: kk tnx anyway..
[10:31] <PriceChild> !anyone | delta
[10:31] <ubotu> delta: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:31] <CotRo|eR> !quota
[10:31] <ubotu> quota: implementation of the disk quota system. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13-8 (edgy), package size 393 kB, installed size 1196 kB
[10:31] <sushi_> virtual-voicu: connect how .... file sharing?  shell?
[10:31] <cymuHep> it didnt work
[10:31] <virtual-voicu> btiffin: ok, but how do i make the script know if i'm connecting remotely or locally?
[10:31] <cymuHep> didnt copy
[10:31] <virtual-voicu> because then it won't work locally, right?
[10:32] <sushi_> Virtual-Voicu: look in the guide for NFS
[10:32] <delta> PriceChild, is there a category where this generally very good advice doesn't apply? :)
[10:32] <virtual-voicu> sushi_, forget it
[10:32] <khaled> guys, was my question inappropiate?
[10:33] <PriceChild> delta, not sure what you mean. If you actually ask the question, someone might know. They may be afraid to help you as your actual question may not be in their area of expertise
[10:33] <Finnj> opengl problems, you should phrase that with keywords "DRI" / "direct rendering" / "GLX" when using google... and your card name.. that usually should get u on the right track
[10:33] <rapid> cymuHep, sudo cp filename directory (its that simple)
[10:33] <sushi_> khaled we use Unbuntu here
[10:33] <Kookykman> Hey, I'm a first time Linux-er that has already burned Ubuntu to disc, etc, and I have the disc in, but whenever I shut down and turn the power back on, it goes back into windows instead of booting from the LiveCD. I'm running XP SP2 on a Dell laptop. Any ideas?
[10:34] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: try looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:34] <khaled> sushi_: yea, but mint is based on ubuntu
[10:34] <delta> PriceChild, sorry for my bad english. I meant that, apart giving lot of details, I can't give a better introduction than 'opengl problems'.
[10:34] <rapid> Kookykman, check in your bios to make sure cdrom is first boot device
[10:34] <gouki> just a test - firefox
[10:34] <PriceChild> delta,  well give a few more details :)
[10:34] <Kookykman> Rapid: Thanks.
[10:35] <Finnj> "OpenGL" isnt a good keyword to use in google or forums when looking to get "direct rendering" fixed in X.org
[10:35] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: I remember now.  $DISPLAY
[10:35] <sushi_> Kookykman : When you start your computer it may say to press a certain key to enter boot menu, or setup.   ;
[10:35] <Finnj> when you get "direct rendering" running, OpenGL will work too
[10:35] <sushi_> khaled give it a try and get back to us =]
[10:35] <schisms> Kookykman, you duel boot correct?
[10:35] <Finnj> getting the right keywords in google is THE way to solve your problems IMO
[10:36] <PriceChild> delta, and your english is fin
[10:36] <PriceChild> e
[10:36] <Kookykman> Schisms: No, I'm running from the CD for the first time
[10:36] <Jocka> I need help with my ethernet connection
[10:36] <schisms> oh
[10:36] <finn_> I got openbox installed, but when I "startx" I get "fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'"  do I need to install some font pack?
[10:36] <PriceChild> Jocka, details?
[10:36] <schisms> jocka, what's the problem?
[10:36] <virtual-voicu> be right back, gotta try something
[10:36] <Kookykman> Sushi_: On Dell it's Ctrl+Alt+Enter. I'm going to go try now.
[10:36] <Jerusalem420> can anyone point me to a faq deailing w/ converting .avi files so that they'll play on my mp4 plater?
[10:36] <Jerusalem420> player even
[10:36] <gar-> MY webserver ubuntu run all my php scripts web really low but cgi right and other stuff anyone know what it could be thanks....
[10:36] <PriceChild> Jerusalem420, ipod?
[10:37] <sushi_> Kookykman on my dell it's F2 and F12
[10:37] <delta> PriceChild, it seems that my opengl driver sometimes crashes; it is completly reproducible (by a specific small application); an X error is thrown. The error msg doesn't suggest anything natural.
[10:37] <Jocka> I tried to install a USB adaptor a week ago but it never worked so I ran an ethernet cord to my router instead. It worked up until I restarted my computer and now it won't go online.
[10:37] <finn_> anybody?
[10:37] <Lars_G> !universe
[10:37] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[10:37] <schisms> sushi_, that's what it usually is.
[10:37] <Finnj> macbook pro anyone?
[10:37] <dllh> thanks, u
[10:38] <dllh> u = ubotu
[10:38] <Eldox> how do i get and install new graphic drivers to my nvida geforce 6200 ?
[10:38] <Finnj> get the nvidia (not nv) drivers running in xorg
[10:38] <sushi_> Eldox ubuntuguide.org
[10:39] <sushi_> That is a common question
[10:39] <schisms> You should try the beta driver, eldox
[10:39] <PriceChild> !nvidia | Eldox
[10:39] <ubotu> Eldox: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:39] <Stormx2> Eldox: Do whatever, just DO NOT follow ubuntuguide.org
[10:39] <Jocka> ethernet... ? .. help?
[10:39] <sushi_> Why not?
[10:39] <Jerusalem420> pricechild its an ipod knock off
[10:39] <Stormx2> !ubuntuguide
[10:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuguide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:39] <Eldox> tnx guys i'll try :P
[10:39] <Jerusalem420> and the only instructions came in hebrew
[10:39] <Stormx2> Bleh
[10:39] <Jerusalem420> and they got no technical info in them
[10:39] <Stormx2> Basicly its poorly written, outdated, and breaks systems...
[10:40] <sushi_> Oh...works for me =]
[10:40] <PriceChild> Jerusalem420, ffmpeg will do it... i'm just not sure of the options to use
[10:40] <jbinder> hi
[10:40] <Jocka> a friend said the ip is registering as IPV6
[10:40] <Jocka> if that helps
[10:40] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, so what do put in $DISPLAY?
[10:40] <virtual-voicu> i tried something like "<IP_ADDRESS>:0"
[10:41] <LazyAce> What's the general command to format a portable drive in command line?
[10:41] <superkirbyartist> Will more RAM speed up game emulation?
[10:41] <Stormx2`> superkirbyartist: Yeah.
[10:41] <mjr> superkirbyartist, depends if you have enough already :]
[10:41] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, if you assign more virtual ram to the vm
[10:41] <schisms> A good processor won't be bad either.
[10:41] <superkirbyartist> 256MB
[10:41] <Jerusalem420> where can i learn about ffmpeg ? just use --help?
[10:41] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: $DISPLAY will be set when you log in by X11
[10:41] <schisms> 2 128s I see.
[10:42] <superkirbyartist> AMD 1.8ghz 256MB RAM N64 Games.
[10:42] <schisms> More ram is what you see.
[10:42] <delta> PriceChild, I need more details :)
[10:42] <superkirbyartist> No, 1 256MB stick.
[10:42] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, then why nothin appears when i login through kdm?
[10:42] <btiffin> vitual-voicu: It'll be :0.0 for a local process
[10:42] <LazyAce> superkirbyartist; more ram would help IMO
[10:42] <virtual-voicu> are they supposed to be the same version?
[10:42] <jbinder> superkirbyartist: your processor isn't that good either
[10:42] <virtual-voicu> that would be dumb
[10:42] <PriceChild> Jerusalem420, not my area p ersonally sorry, hopefully someone else will know
[10:42] <jbinder> superkirbyartist: AMD what...
[10:43] <jbinder> sempron, athlon..?
[10:43] <LazyAce> jbinder, a 1.8GHZ AMD is sufficent for what he's doing lol
[10:43] <Stormx2`> How do I tell LD to look in /usr/local/lib/ ?
[10:43] <Jerusalem420> thanks for your help price
[10:43] <jbinder> LazyAce: meh
[10:43] <Jerusalem420> laters
[10:43] <jbinder> LazyAce: /me hugs 3.4 ghz penitum d
[10:43] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: That I can't say.  I'm going off 15 year old memories...back in X11/R4
[10:43] <gouki> testing - firefox
[10:43] <LazyAce> jbinder, me hugged 2.2 AMD 64bit till mobo died. now I hug p2 455mhz with 512mb of ram lol
[10:43] <LazyAce> and it runs everything just fine in linux
[10:43] <superkirbyartist> LazyAce and Jbinder: They are N64 Games.  It's AMD Sempron 3100+ and one 256MB RAM.
[10:43] <kane77> does restarting the gdm null my uptime?
[10:43] <jbinder> LazyAce: heh
[10:44] <Smotang> Hello, Using open office word processor when it predicts what word you are going to write how do you accept it? IE so that it finishes the word for you?
[10:44] <jbinder> kane77: i don't think so
[10:44] <LazyAce> superkirbyartist, more ram is a necessity man
[10:44] <LazyAce> at least another 256
[10:44] <kane77> Smotang, enter
[10:44] <edd_> i have reinstalled java from source but it still does not work. if i try to start limewire it says it cant load the java runtime environment... :/
[10:44] <jbinder> Smotang: yeah
[10:44] <jbinder> enter
[10:44] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, then what do you use for remote login (if you do)?
[10:44] <Smotang> thanks
[10:44] <Finnj> Stormx2, wait... I know that... anying I dont remember... gimme 2 secs :)
[10:44] <jrib> edd_: why aren't you using the packages?
[10:44] <LazyAce> whats the command to format a drive?
[10:45] <superkirbyartist> LazyAce: Just for N64?  Maybe, the RAM used bar is above 80% (for all my system).  How much is 512MB RAM?
[10:45] <LazyAce> it's been awhile since I've used linux
[10:45] <gouki> firefox
[10:45] <schisms> edd_, try using gnutella
[10:45] <schisms> cfdisk
[10:45] <edd_> jrib: i tried before but it came up with the same error
[10:45] <btiffin> vitual-voicu: I don't...haven't since I left the corporate world, back in the second millennium
[10:45] <jrib> edd_: what error?
[10:45] <LazyAce> superkirbyartist, RAM is very cheap these days pending where you buy it. I'd recomend www.newegg.com
[10:45] <schisms> lazyace, it's either cfdisk or fdisk
[10:45] <BrianSteffens> lazyace i use cfdisk for formatting/playing with partitions.. and mkfs for writing the filesystem
[10:45] <delta> PriceChild, X is your area?
[10:45] <Kesman> do you remember with what command I could get the modeline for my monitor with specific refresh rate?
[10:45] <jrib> edd_: (use pastebin)
[10:45] <edd_> jrib: cant load java runtime environment
[10:45] <PriceChild> delta, i know little about lots
[10:45] <jrib> edd_: pastebin the actual error
[10:46] <superkirbyartist> LazyAce: Is that a quality site with free shipping?  Do I need information other than DDR?
[10:46] <LazyAce> BrianSteffens, it's a portable drive.. will either of those still work?
[10:46] <edd_> its an error box
[10:46] <delta> PriceChild, that's a start. Some may now little about little :)
[10:46] <LazyAce> superkirbyartist, more info the better. I buy all of my hardware from newegg.com. very secure site
[10:46] <jrib> edd_: run it in a terminal
[10:46] <cymuHep> sudo cp filename dir
[10:46] <PriceChild> delta, hehe :)
[10:46] <cymuHep> dont copy
[10:46] <cymuHep> :(
[10:46] <BrianSteffens> lazyace i would think so.. is it a portable hard drive?
[10:46] <PriceChild> delta, personally, i do beryl mostly :P
[10:46] <cymuHep> first time copied but now dont copy
[10:46] <edd_> wine Limewire.exe and then it pops up
[10:47] <jrib> edd_: why are you running it through wine?
[10:47] <jrib> !limewire | edd_
[10:47] <ubotu> edd_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[10:47] <btiffin> virual-voicu: But X11 is built for remote display.  'xterm host' should just work.  Then...oh wait.  You're right.  set $DISPLAY to host:0 (for the zeroth screen device)
[10:47] <Kookykma1> YES!
[10:47] <delta> PriceChild, I don't even ask as much. Just a working opengl driver for dapper :)
[10:47] <jrib> edd_: I would recommend frostwire over limewire too
[10:47] <edd_> ok
[10:47] <Kookykma1> It worked out.
[10:47] <Jerry|M> When I try to run "glxgears" I get the error "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".". I have an intel 82845G/GL using Driver i810.. does anyone know how I can get GL working?
[10:47] <cymuHep> first time copied but now dont copy
[10:47] <edd_> ;) cheers
[10:47] <LazyAce> BrianSteffens, sorry. Yea it's a portable drive. 100gigs
[10:47] <cymuHep> dont copy :(
[10:47] <superkirbyartist> I only have 40fps when I play 4 DKs in congo stage.  Will RAM make the FPS bigger?
[10:47] <PriceChild> delta, as in device drivers?
[10:47] <cymuHep> sudo cp filename dir
[10:47] <BrianSteffens> lazyace then it should work just like any other hard drive
[10:47] <cymuHep> dont copy :(
[10:47] <Finnj> You should get Sun Java imo
[10:47] <Pelo> edd_,  why are you running limewire in ubu,  run  frostwire instead,  made for linux,  same as limewire
[10:47] <edd_> !Frostwire
[10:47] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[10:48] <b52laptop> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38159/  <-- external HD problem :(
[10:48] <jrib> cymuHep: what are you trying to do?
[10:48] <virtual-voicu> btiffin set="<IP_ADDRESS>:0" ?
[10:48] <LazyAce> BrianSteffens, which one again? Fdisk?
[10:48] <wasabi_> i'm compiling a new kernel right now, and in qconf, i'm not sure which options to check and uncheck. is there a guide of which option does what?
[10:48] <superkirbyartist> !limewire
[10:48] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[10:48] <cymuHep> copy file
[10:48] <delta> PriceChild, hmm? I installed different drivers version without any progress.
[10:48] <virtual-voicu> set $DISPLAY=":<IP_ADDRESS>.1"
[10:48] <virtual-voicu> ?
[10:48] <jrib> cymuHep: be more specific
[10:48] <Kookykma1> I'm off to fully install Ubuntu. See you all.
[10:48] <BrianSteffens> lazyace fdisk or cfdisk will work.. use mkfs to write the file system afterwards
[10:48] <PriceChild> delta, what graphics card?
[10:48] <cymuHep> sudo cp index.html /opt/lampp/htdocs
[10:48] <cymuHep> dont ccopy
[10:48] <schisms> Anyone here ever use linux from scratch?
[10:48] <btiffin> vitual-voicu: I think so. One sec.
[10:48] <jrib> cymuHep: what does it say?
[10:48] <jbinder> btw, ubotu works in PM
[10:48] <jbinder> :)
[10:48] <schisms> I was wondering what host I should use.
[10:48] <cymuHep> nothing
[10:48] <delta> PriceChild, nVidia GF7600GS256 MB AGP
[10:49] <Kesman> hey what was the command to see the correct modeline for my screen?

[10:51] <Finnj> how do I find out what apt source I got a (already installed) package from?
[10:51] <PriceChild> delta, do you mean the proprietory drivers by nvidia?
[10:51] <Milos_SD> can someone tall me with what tool or software I can use to convert my mp3 songs in mp3 with smaller bitrate?
[10:51] <bulio|> is there maybe some way I can fix this?

[10:52] <bulio|> anyone?
[10:52] <virtual-voicu> i get "xterm: DISPLAY is not set"
[10:52] <PriceChild> Milos_SD, on a smaller scale, check out audacity
[10:52] <cymuHep> somebody knows how i can play CS 1.6 on Ubuntu?
[10:52] <schisms> cedega

[10:53] <virtual-voicu> oh, yeah, thanks

[10:55] <ubotu> tdog: webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[10:55] <btiffin> How many people here don't use  bash  as a shell?
[10:55] <virtual-voicu> xterm works but no window appears
[10:55] <jrib> btiffin: #ubuntu-offtopic for that type of question please
[10:56] <delta> PriceChild, like 1) I know it works fine on others systems (nvidia inside) 2) it worked with my old GF4Ti4200@64 MB 3) it works fine on my actual system on MS Win XP 4) X doesn't crash, only the OGL driver 5) tons of others applications work fine. To name a few oddities ;)
[10:56] <PriceChild> which oddities?
[10:56] <delta> PriceChild, 1)--5) :)
[10:57] <iratik> Is sendmail installed by default in ubuntu - is the daemon active by default?
[10:57] <PriceChild> i'm confused... what isn't working?
[10:57] <btiffin> jrib: sorry, it was more for knowing how to explain setting enviroment variables to people.
[10:57] <cge> Is there a way to turn off the notifications that gnome-power-manager gives when the AC to the laptop is turned on and off? They are extremely annoying when the power cord is unreliable.
[10:57] <mc44> iratik: no its not on by default
[10:57] <iratik> thanks
[10:57] <schisms> cge, try power manager
[10:58] <jrib> btiffin: oh, you can usually assume people are using bash since it's default.  Anyone who switches would probably know of any differences.  That's how i think about it
[10:58] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: the export part of the bash setting lets the variable carry through all your subprocesses.
[10:58] <mc44> iratik: nor is it installed by default, at least on desktop installs, server may be different
[10:58] <virtual-voicu> is there a environment variable that reflects wether the user is logged in locally or remotely?
[10:58] <btiffin> jrib: cool. thanks.
[10:58] <delta> PriceChild, ah, sorry. The opengl driver crashes for one of the applications/demos I'm using.
[10:58] <Jerry|M> When I try to run "glxgears" I get the error "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".". I have an Intel 82845G/GL using Driver i810.. does anyone know how I can get GL working? Intel says that my card supports full OpenGL...
[10:58] <iratik> mc44: does anyone know about on server if sendmail is already installed?
[10:58] <cge> schisms: Ah, removing the icon also removes the notifications, I see. But is there a way to keep the icon and remove the notifications?
[10:58] <PriceChild> delta, what application/demo ?
[10:58] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, that probably happened because xterm gave no error but something still isn't ok
[10:59] <Ppjet6> hi, is there some who know where i can find wine.conf please
[10:59] <Ppjet6> *knows
[10:59] <virtual-voicu> in bash: is there a environment variable that reflects wether the user is logged in locally or remotely?
[10:59] <Ppjet6> ** know
[10:59] <schisms> I'm looking cge.
[10:59] <delta> PriceChild, the exact name is 'osgimpostor'. It's part of a well-known graphic library called OpenSceneGraph.
[10:59] <PriceChild> Ppjet6, ~/.wine ?
[10:59] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: going man'ing...one sec...there are quite a few issues here to peruse.  firewall, xuathority, and the umpteen other configs
[10:59] <cge> virtual-voicu: Are you interested in just ssh or telnet or something else as well?
[11:00] <PriceChild> delta, is there anything in your logs on crash?
[11:00] <cymuHep> somebody knows how i can play CS 1.6 on Ubuntu?
[11:00] <cymuHep> :(
[11:00] <Ppjet6> PriceChild: I'm looking ;)
[11:00] <RyanTMulligan> Is there a way to do a post similiar to redirect_to ?
[11:00] <jrib> cymuHep: people already suggested that you use cedega
[11:00] <schisms> cge, I don't actually think there is a solution to this.
[11:00] <schisms> With mine, even if the battery is charged
[11:00] <Ppjet6> PriceChild:  thanks ;)
[11:00] <schisms> It gives a warning that I only have like 4 minutes remaining.
[11:00] <jrib> virtual-voicu: I'm not sure but the 'w' command tells you I think
[11:00] <cymuHep> cedega
[11:00] <cge> schisms: Well, there is, but I'm not annoyed enough to write a patch for it.
[11:00] <cymuHep> its for money...
[11:00] <cymuHep> :(
[11:01] <cymuHep> that is only way?
[11:01] <cge> virtual-voicu: For SSH, there is $SSH_CLIENT and $SSH_CONNECTION.
[11:01] <schisms> If I was a programmer I'd give it a shot, but I'm not so for now it'll have to do.
[11:01] <khaladan> Anyone know of tools to benchmark disk i/o?
[11:01] <virtual-voicu> cge, ok thanks
[11:01] <schisms> cge, do you have any experience with lfs?
[11:02] <cge> schisms: No, I've always used Debian or a derivative.
[11:02] <delta> PriceChild, aprt the error X throws, nothing interesting. I know the ogl driver works fine ('glrendering: yes') until I run this application. After a few seconds of moving (the mouse controls the camera), it crashes ('glrendering: no').
[11:02] <schisms> Ah, I'm trying to find a good host distro for linux from scratch.
[11:02] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, i have  a feeling that X should be started before login
[11:02] <cge> virtual-voicu: You can also look at the output from who to find the source of the session.
[11:02] <schisms> I tried using ubuntu but there's a lack of initial developer tools.
[11:03] <delta> PriceChild, I wasn't unable to fix this error for 1 month or so.
[11:03] <schisms> And mke2fs just wasn't working.
[11:03] <virtual-voicu> maybe that's why nothing happens
[11:03] <Finnj> schisms: what dev tools are you missing?
[11:03] <PriceChild> delta, I would contact upstream sorry
[11:03] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: yeah.  you will need the servers running.  I'm trying xterm with export DISPLAY='localhost:0' and it doesn't let me in...
[11:03] <schisms> It's not even the dev tools I'm missing, it's the core programs used to create a distro.
[11:03] <killermach> how do I access my Sony Digital Camcorder with Ubuntu, I have the firewire cable plugged in.. just not sure what to do now??
[11:04] <nevron> how can i get a list of channels?
[11:04] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, i am going to try to make .bashrc set DISPLAY to the source hostname so that when kdm starts it's already sending to my server
[11:04] <virtual-voicu> maybe that will work
[11:04] <schisms> If mke2fs doesn't work then it's something else.
[11:04] <schisms> But I've got slack working on my other pc, so that should do for now.
[11:04] <delta> PriceChild, sorry, I don't get the suggestion :-(
[11:05] <virtual-voicu> cge, how do i isolate the ip from the output of who?
[11:05] <PriceChild> delta, as in ask for support from the original source of the software
[11:05] <virtual-voicu> who | grep voicu
[11:05] <virtual-voicu> then what?
[11:05] <delta> PriceChild, yeah, that's a strategy. Not tried yet :)
[11:06] <PriceChild> delta, good luck :)
[11:06] <MuffY|w00t> I've got a HDD problem =(
[11:06] <delta> PriceChild, heh. I'm preparing to upgrade to edgy in the hope something good happens :)
[11:07] <sushi_> Anyone know a program to view video card temperature?
[11:08] <virtual-voicu> whoa, big problem. kdm is run under root, right? then how do i set DISPLAY only for the users that are connectin remotely
[11:08] <ubuntu> Other Support Categories (1337 Viewing)   <- heh
[11:08] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, any ideas ^^ ?
[11:08] <malikeye> hows it goin ubuntuites ?
[11:09] <MuffY|w00t> I defragmented my HDD, but the MFT kept a few gigs ahead of the ende of my files. I was going to resize the existing partition (150 gig, 60 g used), to 80 g for the windows partition (that was already using 60G, so it would still have 20G free space), and it would leave 70G unallocated, which my Ubuntu instal cd would take care of =)
[11:09] <MuffY|w00t> the problem is, it think i took a bit MFT away  =(
[11:10] <MuffY|w00t> (it starts booting, but after a few secs it will flash blue with a yellow bar and text on it for half a sec or so and then the pc will reboot
[11:10] <cymuHep> can i make my ubuntu user like root?
[11:10] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: me thinks you're in for a learning curve.   Normally you use another box's X server to run apps remote.  Running a window manager will be tricky, but with some effort and security lock downs...
[11:10] <jrib> !root | cymuHep
[11:10] <ubotu> cymuHep: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:11] <MuffY|w00t> (when it starts booting, the windows boorup logo (with the moving bar beneath it) appears)
[11:11] <b52laptop> any experts Hard drive in the neighberhood ?
[11:11] <gouki> Guys, do you like the idea - ubuntustats.homelinux.org - (sorry for the spam)
[11:11] <virtual-voicu> btiffin, so no remote kde... yet
[11:11] <virtual-voicu> well, brb, i'm gonna try remote X for now :D
[11:12] <malikeye> virtual-voicu: not really sure what you are talkin about, just cathin up... up xdcmp should do remote desktops
[11:12] <MuffY|w00t> or can you just give me an IRC channel with HDD expert-like people =p
[11:12] <malikeye> s/cathin/catchin/
[11:12] <btiffin> virtual-voicu: I don't know enough to say...I would guess it can be done.  Lots of config tweaking and permission openings.
[11:12] <gouki> No one interested? :S
[11:13] <cymuHep> it is mirc statistics?
[11:13] <virtual-voicu> malikeye, couldn't find in the repos
[11:13] <gouki> #ubuntu statistics
[11:13] <gouki> #ubuntu statistics | cymuHep
[11:13] <malikeye> xdcmp is part of X
[11:13] <virtual-voicu> what does xdcmp do?
[11:13] <virtual-voicu> !xdcmp
[11:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xdcmp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:13] <cafuego_> xdmcp is a protocol for allowing remove X logins
[11:13] <cafuego_> remote
[11:13] <Shaba1> Guys
[11:13] <Shaba1> Thank you for all of your help
[11:13] <malikeye> sorry
[11:13] <malikeye> !xdmcp
[11:13] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[11:14] <virtual-voicu> lol
[11:14] <regeya> rofflecopters.
[11:14] <Shaba1> BUT I decided to go with xp if I can get my boss to pay for it.
[11:14] <cafuego_> ie: gdm on your mahcine allows you to login and run an X session on a remote (well,s till on the lan) server
[11:14] <cge> virtual-voicu: Sorry, I was away. You can't isolate it with who, if I recall. You can do so with $SSH_CLIENT, though, if you are using ssh.
[11:14] <Shaba1> It was just too hard to try to get the site that I need to work with either ubuntu or wine
[11:15] <virtual-voicu> cge, yeah, i tried your other suggestion, it works :D
[11:15] <MuffY|w00t> no one here who knows about recovering the Master File Table?
[11:15] <virtual-voicu> cafuego_: ok, thanks a lot
[11:15] <cge> virtual-voicu: I take that back. It is in the parentheses in who.
[11:15] <virtual-voicu> cge, well yeah, but how do you get only the ip out?
[11:15] <malikeye> xargs
[11:16] <malikeye> sorry.... awk
[11:16] <MuffY|w00t> (on windows XP, yes, NTFS partition)
[11:16] <cge> malikeye: It is a bit harder than that, actually.
[11:16] <cafuego_> virtual-voicu: awk is your friend
[11:16] <gouki> Guys, is it possible to add a cron job to run every 10 seconds?
[11:16] <malikeye> cge: yeah I am just catching up... not sure what you guys are talkin about :)
[11:16] <cafuego_> gouki: not with normal cron.
[11:16] <gouki> cafuego_: Any solution?
[11:16] <knowledgEngi> hellp
[11:16] <virtual-voicu> cafuego_, ok got it
[11:16] <knowledgEngi> hello
[11:16] <knowledgEngi> # title         Windows 95/98/NT/2000
[11:16] <knowledgEngi> # root          (hd0,0)
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> ubuntu is in hda2
[11:17] <cafuego_> gouki: See if there is a cron with second granularity
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> what i must to change in this 2 lines^?
[11:17] <malikeye> (hd0,1)
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> nono
[11:17] <wikijeff> How can I use a printer shared on my network from ubuntu?
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> windows is in hda2
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> and ubuntu in hda1
[11:17] <knowledgEngi> (hd0,0) equal hda2 ???
[11:18] <cafuego_> No, hd0,1 is hda2
[11:18] <knowledgEngi> (hd0,1) equal hda2 ???
[11:18] <Reyaht_> wikijeff, System>administration>new printer
[11:18] <malikeye> how bout a real question ?
[11:18] <wikijeff> Reyaht_: ah, thanks
[11:18] <cafuego_> malikeye: 42
[11:18] <knowledgEngi> like an array 0 is the element 1
[11:18] <knowledgEngi> and 1 is the element 2
[11:18] <MuffY|w00t> i have a question ^_^
[11:19] <knowledgEngi> (hd0,numberpartition-1)
[11:19] <malikeye> cafuego_: no, thats the answer :)
[11:19] <cge> malikeye, virtual-voicu: You need to use something to find the current tty or pts, then use that to grep for the correct line in who, then run that through awk to get only the part in parentheses (this could probably be done entirely with grep as well), and then use host to find the ip for the given hostname.
[11:19] <malikeye> knowledgEngi: that isn't necessarily true.....
[11:20] <cafuego_> the current tty you can find via `tty`
[11:20] <MuffY|w00t> te Master File Table on my windows XP disk is half-gone because i reduced he size of the partition (to make available space for Ubuntu)
[11:20] <MuffY|w00t> anyone knows hwo to restore it?
[11:20] <virtual-voicu> thanks cge
[11:20] <cafuego_> malikeye: How are you logging in remotely?
[11:21] <cafuego_> virtual-voicu: Sorry. What app are you using to log in remotely?
[11:21] <malikeye> if you enable it correctly, you can ctrl-alt-f8
[11:22] <virtual-voicu> cafuego_: well, i was using ssh, but i want to log in through X and i'm not sure how to handle that. i wanted to login remotely from kdm
[11:22] <JerryM|> How can I edit a file while in console mode? (as in, X server isn't on..)
[11:22] <gpled> can someone help me get anonymous uploading to work using vsftpd?
[11:23] <virtual-voicu> jerrymj, nano is really simple
[11:23] <cafuego_> virtual-voicu: well, via ssh finding the remote ip is trivial. echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -d ' ' -f 1
[11:23] <malikeye> this will pull in your tty : who | grep '(:0' | awk {'print $6'}
[11:23] <malikeye> need to cut the ends off though
[11:23] <Reyaht_> hey, is there a particular reason that I can set a hotkey for anything besides terminal?
[11:23] <cafuego_> malikeye: /usr/bin/tty
[11:23] <nevron> can anybody help me install windoze fonts on my kubuntu installation
[11:23] <JerryM|> virtual-voicu: just run nano with the file as parameter?
[11:23] <Reyaht_> nevron, do you have windows on the same computer
[11:23] <nevron> sorry mistyped ubuntu installation
[11:24] <nevron> yes i do
[11:24] <virtual-voicu> jerrymj, yes
[11:24] <Reyaht_> do you know where it's mounted?
[11:24] <Stormx2> Yo. Where is the cups log located?
[11:24] <JerryM|> virtual-voicu: ok, thanks :)
[11:24] <nevron> i copied the fonts taht i need to my ubuntu partiton
[11:24] <virtual-voicu> cafuego_, malikeye thanks
[11:24] <erUSUL> Stormx2: /var/log/cups/
[11:24] <jrib> !fonts | nevron
[11:24] <ubotu> nevron: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[11:24] <malikeye> virtual-voicu: still have no idea what you are trying to do though :)
[11:24] <nevron> jrib it doesnt really help
[11:25] <nevron> gksudo doesnt import the fonts
[11:25] <edd_> hey, i installed frostwire, but it wont run...
[11:25] <virtual-voicu> now, how do i set make kdm set the DISPLAY of the user that logs in to point to the host that connects remotely?
[11:25] <jrib> nevron: ? that page explaisn taht you need to copy your fonts to ~/.fonts
[11:26] <nevron> ok but i couldnt do it using gksudo
[11:26] <cge> Hmm... I want to set $TTY to the output of tty | sed 's/\/dev\///;s/\//\\\//g'. Is there some way to do this that doesn't look as frightening as TTY=`tty | sed 's/\\/dev\\///;s/\\//\\\\\\//g'`?
[11:26] <nevron> gksuod nautilus fnts
[11:26] <virtual-voicu> i mean, kdm connects to another computer and then all users that log in remotely need to have their $DISPLAY variable set to the other ip
[11:26] <jrib> nevron: what command are you doing?
[11:26] <jrib> cge: that is A LOT of slashes
[11:26] <nevron> i typed it
[11:26] <wikijeff> Anyone know when Mac OS X shares a printer over the network is it via IPP, SMB, or LPD?
[11:26] <cymuHep> !user id
[11:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about user id - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:26] <jrib> nevron: why are you doing that?  Can you see the fonts now?
[11:26] <nevron> gksudo nautilus fonts?
[11:27] <DevC> how do I find out what sound card I have installed on Ubuntu?
[11:27] <nevron> because i want the system to  work with those fonts
[11:27] <total> speaking of sound cards...
[11:27] <DevC> need to find if ALSA supports it and I can't remember what card I have in it
[11:27] <jw_606> Hello :)
[11:27] <jrib> nevron: join me in #ubuntu-classroom, I'll walk you through it

[11:27] <nevron> ok i am joining
[11:27] <DevC> btiffin: thanks :)
[11:28] <total> i have a laptop with no firewire port.
[11:28] <MuffY|w00t> anyone cares to help with a problem that's a bit more pressing than fonts? My harddisk gave up (MFT is half gone), i'd like to know how to restore it
[11:28] <total> what can i do to add firewire?
[11:28] <malikeye> cge: what does that sed output look like ?
[11:28] <jw_606> I tryed installing Compiz and now I'm in a recovery console, can I get help please? Ubuntu Dapper
[11:28] <edd_> can nebody help me, i just installed frostwire, but it wont run ??
[11:28] <gpled> keep getting 550 Permission denied. when trying to anonymous upload with vsftpd
[11:28] <gpled> anyone know how to fix this?
[11:28] <cafuego_> malikeye: that's not portable, soem amchioens use /dev/tty/0 and other /dev/tty0
[11:28] <n2diy> I just installed K3B with Synaptic started it up no problem, shut it down, and not it won't re-start, from the menu, or command line?
[11:29] <cge> jrib: sed needs \'s to escape /'s, ` needs \'s to escape \'s, I was escaping the / for grep. So I need \'s to escape the \'s escaping the /'s being used to insert a \ to escape a /.
[11:29] <n2diy> not/now
[11:29] <jrib> cge: lol
[11:29] <malikeye> cafuego_:  I know
[11:29] <cafuego_> malikeye: matbe just use "basename `tty`"
[11:29] <cge> malikeye: Actually, your solution will work.
[11:29] <DevC> Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97]  (rev 02)
[11:29] <cge> cafuego_: That drops the pts part though.
[11:29] <cafuego_> cge: yup
[11:29] <jw_606> Can someone help me install Compiz please? It crashed my Xserver when I tryed
[11:29] <malikeye> cge: you are just looking for the target, not the path, correct ?
[11:29] <jrib> cge: at least use something other than a / to delimit the substitute expression
[11:29] <DevC> now to find out if ALSA supports it or not
[11:29] <cge> malikeye: The output looks like pts\/4, but I can actually use pts/4
[11:29] <wasabi_> how long does it take to compile a new kernel? 2-3 hours?
[11:30] <nads> hello????
[11:30] <cge> jrib: I can do that!?
[11:30] <jw_606> Hello nads
[11:30] <cafuego_> cge: Oh, we cna make cut leave more: tty | cut -d / -f3-
[11:30] <jrib> cge: yep, you can doo s#foo#bar# for example
[11:30] <nads> huh?
[11:30] <cge> jrib: That is extremely useful!
[11:30] <nads> lost me

[11:34] <the_rick> ok, what is the deal with the /usr directory?  Specifically why do I have a /etc/samba/smb.conf and a /usr/share/samba/smb.conf?
[11:34] <n2diy> Stormx2: I didn't know that, and I've been doing it for six months.
[11:34] <the_rick> I know samba is using the one in /etc so why do I need the other one?
[11:34] <jimbo> I just hit a huge snag.  I have 3000+ files I copied from a windows server to my linux laptop, but I need the files in lowercase, as they're all uppercase.  Is tehre a batch renaming tool available to autorename all these?
[11:34] <malikeye> the_rick: samba is weird... gentoo had 2 smb.confs too... screwed me up for a while

[11:35] <jrib> edd_: pastebin the error you get
[11:36] <MuffY|w00t> the new space (with a part of the MFT) is not written on, it is unallocated space, i didn;t format it
[11:36] <edd_> i dont
[11:36] <n2diy> I just installed K3B with Synaptic started it up no problem, shut it down, and now it won't re-start, from the menu, or command line?
[11:36] <paranoia16> i am reading a tutoral on how to install ceasar 3 using wine, but, when i put the disk in, it mounts, but there are never files in it. like, on the desktop, it shows up, but if you browse it, it is empy. why?
[11:36] <MuffY|w00t> (Windows HDD, MFT as in Master File Table)
[11:36] <cymuHep> o thnx ;)
[11:36] <malikeye> MuffY|w00t: how'd you do that ? parted ?
[11:36] <loconet> anyone else having problems with Open Office after recent system updates? None of the OOo applications will run. After a few seconds of "Starting Open Office" in the gnome panel, it quits with this error: ** (process:15832): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ... in the terminal.
[11:36] <MuffY|w00t> i used Partition Magic (laugh if you want :P)
[11:36] <edd_> jrib: it just sits there doing nothing
[11:37] <Reyaht_> muffy, you have NTFS, right?
[11:37] <malikeye> nope.... PM is awesome
[11:37] <MuffY|w00t> yes ofc
[11:37] <redback> MuffY|w00t: lol - well you did say
[11:37] <Reyaht_> shouldn't partition manager do the reverse?
[11:37] <jrib> edd_: run 'frostwire' in a terminal and apstebin the output.  Does the window open?
[11:37] <MuffY|w00t> no MFT without NTFS right?
[11:37] <Reyaht_> muffy, can't partition resizr expand too?
[11:37] <MuffY|w00t> i had one big C drive
[11:37] <jhaitas_> anyone know how i can reclaim my nickname??? i have this stupid underscore after it
[11:37] <malikeye> Reyaht_: yes it can
[11:37] <MuffY|w00t> 150 gig total, 60 gigs used
[11:37] <treitter> I've got a package that isn't installing all its files (nor is it complaining) - any idea how that could happen?
[11:37] <Pastorn> i never have sound when playing flash files, how do i solve that?
[11:37] <malikeye> MuffY|w00t: is that what you are looking to do ?
[11:37] <MuffY|w00t> i resized it to 80 gigs for windows, 70 free space to install ubuntu
[11:37] <schisms> "/nick new nick"
[11:38] <redback> MuffY|w00t: yeah pretty sure PM allows you to rezise back
[11:38] <treitter> dpkg-deb --contents of the xkeyboard-config package on Dapper gives the same files as packages.ubuntu.com, but after installation, the files aren't on my system
[11:38] <Reyaht_> yeah
[11:38] <ruffles> hi. does anyone know how to change my keyboard layout on the console
[11:38] <edd_> jrib: ah, i need to upgrade java, but i did that before i installed it?
[11:38] <Reyaht_> muffy, it should work the other way
[11:38] <Reyaht_> probably safest way to go
[11:38] <MuffY|w00t> problem is, the MFT was a bit "moved further"then the rest of my files, there was a few gigs of free space between my files and the MFT
[11:38] <jrib> edd_: pastebin 'sudo update-alternatives --config java'
[11:38] <n2diy> test
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> now i repartitioned it, i think a part (oor whole) the MFT is in the uinallocated space
[11:39] <malikeye> what the hell is a MFT :) I've used PM for years and never heard of that :)
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> my question:
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> how can i restore it?
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> Master File Table
[11:39] <cafuego_> MuffY|w00t: I'm not conviced you can.
[11:39] <malikeye> so you have .... Windows -- blank space -- ubuntu ?
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> no
[11:39] <MuffY|w00t> i ahve now:
[11:39] <cafuego_> malikeye: like a FAT but for NTFS
[11:39] <ruffles> how could i change my keyboard layout on console. i don't even have the question mark :/
[11:39] <mirak> help
[11:40] <malikeye> cafuego_: yeah, but why is s/he screwing with it ? :)
[11:40] <mirak> does anyone knows run levels well ?
[11:40] <jhaitas_> schisms: i'm trying to reclaim my nickname... i disconnected improperly earlier
[11:40] <MuffY|w00t> Windows+data -- bank space -- part of/no Master File Table -- unpartitioned space (WITH SOME mASTER FILE TABLE (I THINK)
[11:40] <schisms> What chat client do you use?
[11:40] <MuffY|w00t> stupid caps
[11:40] <edd_> jrib: dont worry, sorted it now ran sudo update-alternatives --config java and changed the default
[11:40] <jhaitas_> xchat-gnome
[11:40] <MuffY|w00t> NTFS
[11:40] <n2diy> mirak, what's the question?
[11:40] <jrib> !multijava | edd_
[11:40] <ubotu> edd_: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives
[11:40] <Rprp> Borland C++ Builder 6. <--- Whats the name of the package?
[11:41] <jrib> edd_: that command will update the other java related stuff too
[11:41] <malikeye> MuffY|w00t: your goal is ?
[11:41] <edd_> ok thanks
[11:41] <schisms> open up xchat > network list
[11:41] <jhaitas_> as a result the underscore has been added after my name
[11:41] <MuffY|w00t> to restore the Masterfile table
[11:41] <schisms> and type your nick in the first box
[11:41] <malikeye> why ?
[11:41] <jhaitas_> and...
[11:41] <schisms> and reconnect
[11:41] <malikeye> not booting ?
[11:41] <MuffY|w00t> to save my win files
[11:41] <MuffY|w00t> there is *some* stuff there i need
[11:41] <MuffY|w00t> i wanted to make a dual boot system
[11:41] <mirak> n2diy: I use vdr vidro disk recorder. it's a service. I need to make it run after lirc started, and also from run level 2 3 4 5
[11:42] <malikeye> why would you need to save the windows stuff? isn't it already there ?
[11:42] <mirak> n2diy: however the nubmers seems to have changed alone
[11:42] <mirak> for the symlinks
[11:42] <MuffY|w00t> no, the Master File Table manages all the files
[11:42] <redback> MuffY|w00t: is the data still there just the MBR so you cant boot to windows
[11:42] <MinceR> hi
[11:42] <MuffY|w00t> no, not the MBR
[11:42] <redback> MuffY|w00t: or the actual table
[11:42] <MuffY|w00t> MBR is something in the boot sector right?
[11:42] <redback> MuffY|w00t: yeah
[11:42] <MinceR> [g] vim misinterprets some accented characters as hotkeys (for example, a-acute becomes alt+a) -- how can i fix this?
[11:42] <cafuego_> MuffY|w00t: yah
[11:42] <MuffY|w00t> the MFT is a windows/NTFS ting
[11:43] <n2diy> mirak, did you look in system/admin/services?
[11:43] <malikeye> sorry, I am still not understanging what you are trying to do... why do you need to restore that ?
[11:43] <MinceR> i'm getting really desperate.
[11:43] <MuffY|w00t> it keeps track of where all the files are
[11:43] <malikeye> you can't see you files at all ?
[11:43] <MuffY|w00t> because it points to the files
[11:43] <MuffY|w00t> i can't boot
[11:43] <malikeye> s/you/your/
[11:43] <malikeye> ok...
[11:43] <cafuego_> MuffY|w00t: I think you may have better luck on a windows channel; to the best of my knowledge there is but one MFT and if it gets destroyed...
[11:43] <malikeye> at all
[11:43] <Pastorn> MinceR: what do you want to do?
[11:43] <jhaitas_> schisms: that didn't work
[11:43] <SmoothOp> is there a .zip package opener
[11:43] <MuffY|w00t> it will start booting (windows logo and all), but it will reboot while booting
[11:43] <jrib> !zip | SmoothOp
[11:43] <ubotu> SmoothOp: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde) - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[11:43] <mirak> n2diy: where is it ?
[11:43] <jhaitas_> jhaitas is still registered on this server even though there is no client connected with the nick jhaitas
[11:43] <LjL> SmoothOp: sure, unzip. command line, but you can use it from FileRoller just fine
[11:44] <redback> MuffY|w00t: message / blue screen
[11:44] <MuffY|w00t> it will flash a blue screen with a yellow bar and some text in the upper left corner for a splot second
[11:44] <mirak> n2diy: what is runlevel 2 ?
[11:44] <Rprp> i did download the source code of WinSCP (http://www.winscp.com/) but, how can i compile it? (Its a windows product but its the source code...)

[11:46] <kohr_> i have a weird problem
[11:46] <wasabi_> hey i have a question. so how much of a speed improvement would i see by compiling a new kernel? noticeably different from the current kernel on ubuntu?
[11:46] <MuffY|w00t> i don't want to put ubuntu on the unallocated space if there is a change to save the MFT, which will certainly get destroyed permanently if i change something to the unpartitioned space
[11:46] <n2diy> mirak, I don't understand the question?
[11:46] <redback> itsmabus: on bottom of charger
[11:46] <LjL> cymuHep, i'm not sure i would set up a content management system if i didn't know about file permissions... i mean, that might not end up too secure. i hope you aren't going to put it on an Internet-accessible server?

[11:47] <trev_> ok, i just upgrade to edgy and i want to ditch totem and replace it with mplayer but synaptic won't let me without removing "ubuntu-desktop", am i doing something wrong?
[11:47] <kohr_> greevous, use the pastbin to paste it

[11:47] <malikeye> trev_: you can remove that packages
[11:47] <Eldox> the symethic package program
[11:48] <kohr_> oh
[11:48] <amimusa> -> /list, thanks
[11:48] <trev_> ok
[11:48] <malikeye> trev_: it's just a meta package
[11:48] <trev_> cool, ill do it right now
[11:48] <Bepo> Anyone know how to get keyboard layouts back?
[11:48] <nevron> how do i setup an ftp server on a dynamic ip
[11:48] <LjL> Greevous, /bin/sh should *definitely* exist. are you able to enter a terminal at all?

[11:48] <Bepo> they've gone missing after XGL/Beryl install
[11:48] <trev_> malikeye:what exactaly is a meta package?
[11:48] <tony22> Eldox, just run nvidia-xconfig
[11:48] <Greevous> Ljl: yes
[11:48] <malikeye> it would suck if ubuntu-desktop was "the distro"... one file to rule them all :)
[11:48] <LjL> Greevous: then what does "ls -l /bin/sh" show in a terminal?
[11:49] <jhaitas_> anyone know how i can reclaim my nickname???

[11:51] <mjr> wasabi_, highly unlikely
[11:51] <cymuHep> LjL
[11:51] <Some_Person> surprised apple hasn't sued
[11:51] <redback> Eldox: you mean the brown colour scheme or is the screen messed up
[11:51] <LjL> Greevous: well, the /bin/sh file should come from the 'dash' and/or 'bash' packages i believe, so you could try reinstalling those packages. however, the fact that that file (symlink, actually) is missing could be a symptom of something bigger imho...
[11:51] <Bepo> what do you mean from X?

[11:54] <gpled> jhaitas_: you should have gotten a message from the NickServ
[11:54] <LjL> jhaitas_, it didn't show some help text? try looking in your "status" or "server" window (or whatever your IRC client calls it), it's probably there
[11:54] <jrib> Aggrav8d: probably means you haven't enabled universe
[11:54] <gpled> jhaitas_: did you?
[11:54] <LjL> jhaitas_: anyway, /msg nickserv ghost jhaitas your-password     -    do this in the *status window*, not in a channel window
[11:54] <Pixeleet> can people here using tty1-4 with edgy?
[11:55] <gpled> Aggrav8d: see if just vim will work
[11:55] <alien_> Hi people! Could you suggest something with which I can convert mp3s to wav, please!
[11:55] <Pixeleet> console doesn't work for me with a clean install of edgy
[11:55] <Bepo> Hey everyone, upon getting XGL/Beryl working on my system. My keyboard layouts disappeared, any idea how to get them back?
[11:56] <redback> Pixeleet: really, works ok for me - what happens
