[06:41] <steven_> why i cant use mysqladmin -u root password 'new-pass'
[06:41] <steven_>  get an error
[06:41] <lamont__> modprobe hwclock
[06:41] <lamont__> er, modprobe rtc
[06:42] <kestas> steven_: mysql -u root -ppassword
[06:42] <lamont__> it's on my radar to actually fix that sometime soonish
[06:42] <lamont__> swarm: ^^^
[06:42] <|Lupin|> kestas: no it would not. It would take more place, or would be too small...
[06:42] <steven_> kestas, root@ubuntu:/home/steven # mysql -u root -p
[06:42] <steven_> Enter password:
[06:42] <steven_> ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
[06:43] <kestas> steven_ well you need the password..
[06:43] <tsw> steven_: you have wrong password
[06:43] <steven_> kestas, i am typing the password
[06:43] <steven_> how can i change the password
[06:43] <nJess> heh
[06:43] <nJess> i found the problem
[06:43] <swarm> lamont__: rtc was just loaded while experiencing the problem...
[06:43] <nJess> programs can't access my dvd drive
[06:44] <nJess> how can i fix this?
[06:44] <KarlosII> rotflol I crashed gimp on my first time usinga and setting it up with in 1 minute
[06:44] <kestas> steven_: well youll have to log on first, and you cant do that without the pass
[06:44] <tsw> I bet there is a way to hack around it, but havent done it :)
[06:44] <kestas> gimp is good, not as good as photoshop but still good.
[06:44] <steven_> kestas, but i cant log in it always shows that error
[06:45] <kestas> steven_: well thats because youve got the wrong password
[06:45] <steven_> can i change it with root user
[06:45] <kestas> steven_: root mysql user
[06:45] <kestas> not root ubuntu user
[06:45] <likkashot76> plz somebody how can I make my second nic card available I just dont remember how
[06:45] <lamont__> swarm: the issue is that hwclockfirst.sh runs before modules are loaded, and rtc is a module for some completely unknown reason
[06:45] <tsw> steven_: or any user that has the rights to change it
[06:45] <kestas> well you probably can.. but Ill be damned if I know how to directly edit mysql database files
[06:46] <Stuttergart> Anyone know how to tell udev to create /dev/tape and /dev/changer after a reboot?
[06:46] <steven_> can i use mysqladmin
[06:46] <kestas> .. not wihtout the root password
[06:46] <tsw> steven_: still you need the pass
[06:46] <swarm> lamont__, with #dmesg | tail -30 I get 30 times "APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)" and it's an hour pc is up. Could be related to the problem above?
[06:46] <steven_> but when i type mysqladmin -u root password 'test1'
[06:46] <steven_> '
[06:47] <talamod> has anyone here attempted installing "realtime-lsm"? I get a "kernel headers not found" error with module-assistant. but kernel-headers-2.6.10-5-386 are installed, and they match my current kernel.
[06:47] <steven_> i get this error mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[06:47] <steven_> error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
[06:47] <swarm> lamont__: so it could be easily fixed changing the order of run or it's needed to make rtc to not run as module?
[06:47] <tsw> steven_: http://simplythebest.net/info/programming/mysql_root_password.html (this is for redhat, but should work for ubuntu too)
[06:47] <kestas> steven_ thats because you dont have the password
[06:47] <lamont__> swarm: the fix is to change the runorder
[06:48] <steven_> is there any way to reinstall mysql and start over again
[06:48] <tsw> really quite simple, just dont load mysql as background service but make it load so that you have the prompt right away, and then you can change the pass
[06:48] <lamont__> swarm: at least, that's the assertion.  I lack the ability to test it.
[06:48] <tsw> steven_: sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server ; apt-get install mysql-server
[06:49] <swarm> lamont__: I see that hwclockfirst.sh and hwclock.sh aren't loaded at boot according to current conf.
[06:50] <lamont__> swarm: /etc/rcS.d/S18hwclockfirst.sh  /etc/rcS.d/S50hwclock.sh
[06:50] <lamont__> and module-init-tools is at 20
[06:50] <VRH> when i do right click in the desktop, and the menu appear, how i can do to add specific new document in create new document?
[06:50] <lamont__> so moving S18hwclockfirst.sh to S21hwclockfirst.sh should fix it
[06:50] <lamont__> in theory.
[06:50] <lamont__> I'd love to know if it does.
[06:50] <swarm> I can try
[06:51] <|Lupin|> Pls, is there a doc about how to upgrade from one Ubuntu flavour to another one ?
[06:51] <|Lupin|> Is it as simple as running apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[06:51] <KarlosII> what's the command to refresh the fonts database?
[06:51] <lamont__> |Lupin|: yes
[06:51] <lamont__> well, with the sources.list change, of course
[06:52] <|Lupin|> lamont__: ok. I'm sorry but I don't know anything about ubuntu. What are thenames ofthe different flavours ?
[06:52] <tsw> |Lupin|: just check that sources.list is updated and then apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:53] <concept10> what is the latest production kernel, anyone know?
[06:53] <steven_> can i pass variables in php with ?varaible=something
[06:53] <talamod> how do I get the linux source? I can't find any kernel-source packages
[06:53] <tsw> concept10: www.kernel.org knows
[06:53] <concept10> I mean for ubuntu
[06:53] <tsw> steven_: yes
[06:53] <talamod> d'oih, found it
[06:53] <concept10> What is the latest kernel for ubuntu
[06:53] <steven_> can i use apt-get more than once at the same time
[06:54] <concept10> nope
[06:54] <Funraiser> concept10, 2.6
[06:54] <PhantomFreak> To the guy wh #o told be that it was XP causing the networking problesm... It wasn't XP cos the same thing happend if both machines are running Ubuntu!
[06:54] <kestas> bob2: got it working, it was a proxy issue
[06:54] <kestas> bob2: possibly something to do with cacheing
[06:54] <kestas> bob2: using tsocks did it
[06:54] <|Lupin|> bye everybody, thanks for being so nice.

[06:55] <tsw> steven_: maybe you should try
[06:55] <yahalom> how do i check my runlevel?
[06:56] <Di42lo`> 3
[06:56] <kestas> yahalom: ps ax | grep init
[06:56] <yahalom> Di42lo`, 2
[06:57] <Di42lo`> oh i though you are asking from where you are talking right now
[06:57] <tsw> yahalom: runlevel (well on debian it is :)
[06:57] <Funraiser> concept10, yes there is
[06:58] <Di42lo`> yahalom:
[06:58] <Di42lo`> :\
[06:58] <concept10> Funraiser, where is it located?  can I get it with synaptic?
[06:58] <kestas> runlevel is a stupid command
[06:58] <yahalom> Di42lo`, sucks.  i cant see ur hebrew at the moment
[06:58] <yahalom> Di42lo`, whats up?

[07:02] <yahalom> Di42lo`, i have no clue i'm 21
[07:02] <Di42lo`> working with linux ?
[07:02] <steven_> why it doesnt assign the variable when i use a link like something?web=back
[07:03] <yahalom> Di42lo`, yes ofcourse
[07:03] <kestas> steven_: what language?
[07:03] <yahalom> Di42lo`, y u on windows?
[07:03] <steven_> php
[07:03] <Di42lo`> yahalom:  ...
[07:04] <kestas> steven_: are you using register_globals?
[07:04] <Di42lo`> yahalom: you dont understand..i mean if you are working at job with linux..not working at home
[07:04] <steven_> hummm.... i dont think so
[07:04] <yahalom> Di42lo`, ah. i wish
[07:04] <concept10> talamod, angula?
[07:04] <yahalom> Di42lo`, i worked with windows
[07:05] <yahalom> Di42lo`, everyone here is windows crazy
[07:05] <kestas> steven_: so what happens when you do print $_GET['web'] ; ?
[07:05] <Di42lo`> yahalom: fvkk windows
[07:05] <talamod> concept10, agnula
[07:05] <nJess> hey, whats the name of that KDE browser?
[07:05] <yahalom> Di42lo`, but the army asked me to help them with linux, but i'm done with the army. enough years.
[07:05] <yahalom> Di42lo`, u before the army right?
[07:05] <Rockett17> Konqueror
[07:05] <zever> nJess, Konqueror
[07:05] <concept10> Has anyone here recompiled a ubuntu kernel
[07:06] <kestas> concept10: ubuntu kernel?
[07:06] <kestas> concept10: Ive recompiled a linux kernel
[07:06] <yahalom> Di42lo`, u know the army switched or is in the process of switching to linux. so tell them when they recruit u. u'll have a good job.
[07:06] <Di42lo`> yahalom: yes im before army
[07:06] <kestas> concept10: Im probably being too pedantic here
[07:06] <Di42lo`> yahalom: okay...thx for the info
[07:06] <yahalom> Di42lo`, unless u want to be a rambo
[07:06] <concept10> kestas, there is a debian way of recompiling if you know what i mean
[07:06] <Di42lo`> yahalom: heh no :|
[07:07] <steven_> kestas, well now i get the variable content
[07:07] <kestas> concept10: ah I see, I think you have to do it the harder way with ubuntu
[07:07] <yahalom> Di42lo`, rambo is more fun, and u still use computers nowadays, more than ud think :)\
[07:07] <kestas> steven_ so is there a problem or is that it?
[07:07] <concept10> yahalom, the army wont be switching to linux anytime soon
[07:07] <yahalom> concept10, which army?
[07:07] <kestas> why cant you be a linux using rambo?
[07:07] <concept10> US
[07:07] <kestas> thats what Id be if I was enlisted
[07:07] <Di42lo`> yahalom: you mean kravi when you say rambo ?
[07:08] <yahalom> concept10, i'm talking about the IDF
[07:08] <kestas> rambo with a zaurus
[07:08] <yahalom> Di42lo`, yes
[07:08] <concept10> yahalom, sorry LOL
[07:08] <steven_> kestas, can i only use for example echo $web; or i need to do echo $_DET['web']
[07:08] <steven_> $_GET
[07:08] <yahalom> concept10, the us navy uses linux for its missiles, u knew that?
[07:08] <kestas> steven_: thats bad security practise but yes you can
[07:08] <concept10> yahalom, what navy?
[07:08] <geko> guys anyone knows a repository with synce?
[07:08] <steven_> kestas, the best is GET
[07:08] <yahalom> concept10, i dont remember what missile. i read it. the us navy uses linux for its missile guiding system.
[07:09] <kestas> eh?
[07:09] <concept10> yahalom, it must be built into the missile, I spent 13 years in the navy.  The tomahawk console is a general purpose computer
[07:10] <yahalom> concept10, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/27/us_army_going_to_linux/
[07:10] <kestas> steven_: if(!empty($_GET)) extract($_GET);
[07:10] <kestas> if(!empty($_POST)) extract($_POST);
[07:10] <concept10> yahalom, Ive been on three missile ships
[07:10] <chrissturm> yahalom: does your system still work? :)
[07:10] <kestas> that will act like register globals is disabled
[07:10] <Rockett17> does that mean there is flying penguins?
[07:10] <yahalom> concept10, yes i think its built in. let me find it for u.
[07:10] <yahalom> chrissturm, i didnt do the switch in the end.
[07:10] <chrissturm> great!
[07:11] <chrissturm> yahalom, i had a bad feeling about it
[07:11] <kestas> concept10: does that mean I can open an excel spreadsheet on a tomahawk missile?
[07:11] <kestas> how handy
[07:11] <steven_> kestas, can i use if(isset($_GET['web'] )
[07:11] <Rockett17> or play tux racer on a tomahawk missile
[07:11] <Rockett17> :)
[07:11] <kestas> steven_: yes
[07:11] <yahalom> concept10, US Navy Open Architecture (OA) Operating Systems: Embedded operating systems for
[07:11] <yahalom> ... BSG-1 Program Nuclear Tomahawk Missile Program
[07:11] <yahalom> sorry kind of longer than i thought
[07:11] <Oly> hi, been messing with ssh today and have got a bit confused, ssh username@ip works fine but if i add a path onto it i.e. sshusername@ip:/home/user/ it keels over and does not login
[07:11] <kestas> what was that film with the guy who rides a bomb with a cowboy hat?
[07:11] <concept10> yahalom, Yes. They are implementing Linux in alot of EMBEDDED applications. You wont find GNOME in Combat to fire tomahawks
[07:11] <yahalom> concept10, i dotn think its pure linux
[07:12] <Oly> anyone got any suggestions, given me some grief today
[07:12] <steven_> and then can i use $web=null or what should i do'
[07:12] <yahalom> concept10, lol that would be fun. like a little gnome missle icon.
[07:12] <concept10> yahalom, LOL
[07:12] <yahalom> lol
[07:12] <kestas> steven_: what ? why what are you trying to do
[07:12] <swarm> lamont__, read e-mail
[07:12] <lamont__> swarm: ok
[07:12] <yahalom> concept10, or an atom bomb. and then kde with their crystal icons. the xfce one should be a little mouse riding a missile. lol
[07:12] <xy77> Oly: did you try ssh -l <username> ... ?
[07:13] <lamont__> swarm: or rather, I will when it finally gets to me..
[07:13] <Oly> yeah i can login finr xy77
[07:13] <concept10> yahalom, The US Navy is using linux for control systems i.e. Sonar, Propulsion
[07:13] <Xenguy> Oly: I think the ':' assumes '/home/dir'
[07:13] <Oly> but i want to login to a set path
[07:13] <yahalom> Di42lo`, u see bro. missiles.
[07:13] <steven_> i am trying to know what is the content of a variable and then assign the null to the variable
[07:13] <steven_> can i show you my code
[07:13] <yahalom> concept10, what kind u know?
[07:13] <Oly> i am trying to make a bash backup script
[07:13] <Oly> but the ssh command falls over when specifying a path
[07:13] <Di42lo`> yahalom: :d
[07:14] <Xenguy> Oly: sorry, I misread (thought you were talking scp)
[07:14] <swarm> lamont__, yes it's quite lagged
[07:14] <kestas> steven_: unset($_GET['web'] )
[07:14] <Oly> well scp might work not tried using it with rsync before though
[07:14] <concept10> yahalom, I have to look it up, some control systems are using Windows NT and 2000.  But most are still using consoles with circuit cards and PLCs (I worked on control systems my whole career)
[07:14] <xy77> anyone can help me with a sound issue? A few days ago the sound stopped working. It used to work and I don't know of anything I could have changed concerning sound settings.
[07:14] <kestas> speaking of backup scripts; how do you encrypt backups?
[07:15] <kestas> is there any command line stream/block cipher program for linux?
[07:15] <Oly> i get the error of Name or service not known
[07:15] <xy77> kestas.. zip with encryption?
[07:15] <swarm> lamont__, anyway there is even S25libdevmapper1.00 so I have tried with success as S28hwclockfirst.sh but perhaps S26 is ok.
[07:15] <steven_> kestas, but what if want to use the variable later can i still do it if i use the unset
[07:15] <Oly> missing out the path just brings up a password screen and logs me in :p
[07:15] <kestas> xy77: I imagine zip's encryption isn't great, and its compression isnt great either
[07:15] <yahalom> concept10, nice. well it would have sucked if windows crashes during a missle launch
[07:15] <concept10> yahalom, I worked on propulsion control systems (the ones that start stop and monitor jet engines)
[07:16] <kestas> xy77: for automated backups you need something that uses a key file
[07:16] <yahalom> concept10, what are they run on?
[07:16] <xy77> kestas: well, you could pgp a file, couldn't you?
[07:16] <kestas> steven_: soo... you want to set the variable to null, then use it later?
[07:16] <kestas> xy77: wouldnt that be a little slow? pgp takes a long time to encrypt large files doesnt it?
[07:16] <concept10> yahalom, no - the missle computers are controlled by general purpose computers just for that purpose.  The tomahawk computer system fills a COUPLE of rooms
[07:16] <steven_> yes
[07:17] <kestas> steven_: well you cant.. once you set a variable to null it's null believe it or not
[07:17] <kestas> steven_: the previous contents are gone
[07:17] <xy77> kestas: do you know of any fast ways to encrypt large files? Encryption currently implies slowlyness?
[07:17] <yahalom> concept10, does the tomahawk missile have a penguin on it?
[07:18] <steven_> kestas, i dont mean the previous content i mean if i can assign a different content later
[07:18] <xy77> I'm about to switch back to Gentoo, If I can't get this sound back to work in ubuntu. Anyone would like to keep me from that?
[07:18] <kestas> xy77: all I know is pgp asymmetric encryption is way slower than using a stream/block cipher. rc4 can encrypt around 50MB/s on a pentium 2, I bet pgp asymmetric encryption is nowhere near as fast
[07:18] <concept10> yahalom, nope.  It has a tomahawk on it.
[07:18] <kestas> xy77: are you threatening us with switching back to gentoo? :)
[07:18] <xy77> kestas: I see
[07:18] <klaym> what's the easiest way to setup a bluetooth connection between my computer (usb dongle) and Nokia 6600? which programs should I apt-get?
[07:18] <concept10> yahalom, its so cool to see them being launched
[07:19] <xy77> kestas: I'm desperate, and what else can I do? :-)
[07:19] <chrissturm> xy77: a very clever way to get help is to threaten
[07:19] <yahalom> concept10, yeah i can imagine. see them, never launched them.
[07:19] <kestas> xy77: okay then I'll bite.. whats the problem?
[07:19] <tweek> i can't mount my floppy drive :|
[07:19] <concept10> yahalom, they come out of the VLS slow and turn then wings pop out and they take off.  We launched 10 of them at one time
[07:20] <yahalom> kol israelim lifnei hasheru smakirim linux: http://www.iglu.org.il/old-zope-articles/969699608.html
[07:20] <kestas> steven_: of course you can
[07:20] <concept10> yahalom, we launched them at night
[07:20] <steven_> ok thanks
[07:20] <kestas> steven_: $test = 'blah'; print $test; unset($test); $test=
[07:20] <xy77> kestas: a few days ago my sound stopped working. I don't know how it came. I have a intel 82801db/DBL/DBM (ICH4...) card that's recognised by aplay -l
[07:20] <kestas> 'something else'; print $test;
[07:20] <kestas> it will work
[07:20] <kestas> xy77: okay so theres just no sound?
[07:21] <kestas> xy77: log in as root
[07:21] <kestas> xy77: or open a root console
[07:21] <xy77> kestas: doesn't work as root either. I don't think it's a module issue.
[07:21] <yahalom> concept10, i'm dissapointed in ur for not drawing a penguin on one of them at least. i mean the nuke had "goodbye" written on it and i bet some bombs had "kiss my %$%^ Saddam" all over them
[07:21] <kestas> xy77: and try cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp0
[07:21] <yahalom> concept10, all u  had to do is draw a little penguin :)
[07:21] <xy77> kestas: doesn't help
[07:21] <concept10> yahalom, I didnt work on missles.  I worked with engineering and control systems
[07:21] <kestas> still nothing?
[07:22] <kestas> xy77: hmmm
[07:22] <xy77> kestas: nope, being root
[07:22] <kestas> xy77: have you tried 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp0' ?
[07:22] <yahalom> concept10, ah ok. so u couldnt do that. so u couldnt get near enough? how long were u in the navy?
[07:22] <kestas> xy77: as root preferably
[07:22] <steven_> kestas, whats wrong here if ($_GET['web']  == 'g1') { include 'g1.php'; unset($_GET['web'] ) }
[07:22] <xy77> I wonder whether it's a alsa.conf or asound.conf issue... or modutils.d/foobar
[07:22] <tweek> how do i manually configure my floppy drive?
[07:23] <kestas> steven_: youre missing the semicolon on the unset($_GET['web'] )
[07:23] <xy77> kestas: no /dev/dsp0 available, tried /dev/dsp
[07:23] <steven_> ok
[07:23] <kestas> xy77: nothing?
[07:23] <xy77> kestas: nope
[07:23] <kestas> 'cat /proc/asound/cards' what does it say?
[07:23] <xy77> kestas: tried /dev/audio as well
[07:23] <kestas> 'dmesg'
[07:24] <kestas> output those two and copy them into pastebin.com
[07:24] <selinium_> Hi all, how do I uninstall skype.. I think i installed it via dpkg
[07:24] <yahalom> concept10, dont answer that
[07:24] <concept10> yahalom, you have to have specific purpose of going in missile rooms. they have cypher locks.
[07:24] <kestas> xy77: and just make sure its all plugged in right and everything
[07:24] <kestas> xy77: and the volume's turned up
[07:24] <kestas> just in case
[07:24] <xy77> kestas: it lists the Intet card, dmesg complains about driver/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received, which will be a mouse problem.
[07:24] <yahalom> concept10, and ud have to be a real geek to try and bypass them just to draw tux on one of them.
[07:24] <kestas> xy77: could you copy it all to pastebin.com please?
[07:24] <xy77> kestas: volume's up for Master and PCM, unmuted.
[07:25] <concept10> bbl
[07:25] <steven_> kestas, does it matter if i close the updater in the middle of a download
[07:25] <yahalom> concept10, take care man. was sweet.
[07:25] <jaco> hi all
[07:25] <kestas> steven_: whats the updated?
[07:25] <kestas> *updater?
[07:25] <jaco> evolution don't work in breezy for me
[07:26] <steven_> kestas, i mean the package manager
[07:26] <xy77> kestas: nothing to plug, the laptop has internal speakers (it's a ibm thinkpad t42p btw)
[07:26] <kestas> steven_: nope
[07:26] <concept10> see you guys later, im off to build a kernel
[07:26] <kestas> xy77: okay can you paste dmesg and cat /proc/asound/cards into pastebin.com
[07:27] <kestas> xy77: and can you think of anything you changed?
[07:27] <steven_> kestas, when i start it again it starts downloading over again or it starts from the last session
[07:27] <kestas> steven_: and thats a good thing right?
[07:28] <xy77> kestas: dmesg has nothing but iptable stuff and this hid-core
[07:28] <kestas> xy77: I just want to get a better idea baout your system Im not psychic
[07:29] <xy77> kestas: I see. would /etc/asound|alsa stuff be of interest?
[07:29] <kestas> sure
[07:29] <steven_> yes it is
[07:30] <steven_> is there some downloader acelerator
[07:30] <kestas> steven_: nah download accelerators are bs
[07:30] <steven_> ic
[07:31] <Amaranth> they don't actually do anything unless you have broadband and the file you're downloading has multiple mirrors
[07:31] <Rockett17> and even then a lot of the time there is no speed increase as you can only download as fast as your connection will let you
[07:31] <kestas> sometimes they increase packet size, which can help, but other than that they just open heaps of connections to the same server which is bad
[07:31] <wang> listo
[07:32] <steven_> well thanks kestas see you later
[07:32] <wang> esta wea no sirve pa na
[07:32] <steven_> bye everyone
[07:32] <wang> chao culiao
[07:32] <kestas> I would like to know how to increase the default packet size on linux actually
[07:32] <wang> ubuntu es una basura
[07:32] <kestas> cuts down on the amount of tcp/ip headers you have to send which is good
[07:32] <talamod> how do I show a package's dependencies?
[07:32] <wang> tengo caleta de problemas con esta mielda
[07:32] <kestas> wang: el speake english hablo
[07:33] <wang> ni hui shuo putonghua?
[07:33] <kestas> talamod: easiest way is to open synaptic and right click on it
[07:33] <Amaranth> talamod: In synaptic it's one of the tabs, on the command line it's apt-get depends packagename
[07:33] <xy77> kestas: any ideas with the sound?
[07:33] <Seveas> wang, please speak english in here...
[07:33] <kestas> xy77: I thought you were posting the files to pastebin?
[07:33] <talamod> rather, how would I search for deps? i.e. I want to know which applications depend on "liblo0"
[07:33] <wang> brother let me tell you i dont understand
[07:34] <xy77> kestas I did http://pastebin.com/300442 e.g.
[07:34] <wang> yo habla spanish
[07:34] <wang> sorry
[07:34] <xy77> kestas http://pastebin.com/300441 etc.

[07:36] <kestas> chrissturm: yes thank you for that chrissturm
[07:36] <wang> es in spanish means is
[07:36] <wang> tip
[07:36] <tweek> my floppy drive
[07:36] <xy77> tweek you can manually mount it via sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[07:36] <Triffid_Hunter> what configuration do floppy drives even have?
[07:36] <wang> any ways how is the party
[07:36] <wang> ?
[07:36] <HappyFool> talamod: apt-cache rdepends liblo0
[07:37] <Dalkus> er, if I want du -sh to miss two directories, what do I do? using two exclude="path" prefix's dosn't work?
[07:37] <wang> somebody is drinkin ?
[07:37] <tweek> sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy  i get this xy77
[07:37] <wang> beer
[07:37] <kestas> Dalkus: have you man du?
[07:37] <tweek> err
[07:37] <talamod> HappyFool, thank you so much!
[07:37] <Dalkus> sure
[07:37] <wang> or something
[07:37] <tweek> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[07:37] <tweek>  **
[07:37] <Dalkus> kestas, looked through it several times
[07:37] <Seveas> wang, this is a support channel, please do not create noise...
[07:37] <HappyFool> talamod: no problem. i didn't know that either
[07:37] <Frafra> hi all
[07:37] <wang> sorry
[07:38] <Frafra> does x work on breezy?
[07:38] <selinium_> How do i find what version of skype i have installed?
[07:38] <HappyFool> Frafra: yes ;)
[07:38] <Seveas> Frafra, sort of, but upgrading to breezy is not encouraged or supported...
[07:38] <HappyFool> Frafra: oh sorry
[07:38] <HappyFool> crap, i read 'ubuntu' for breezy
[07:38] <Seveas> lol :)
[07:38] <xy77> tweek: maybe your floppy is malformatted, did you try different floppies?
[07:38] <wang> there is a way to recover my computer? without format?
[07:38] <tweek> i have really important data on this floppy..
[07:38] <xy77> selinium_ start it and check Help->about
[07:39] <Frafra> i'm on breezy, but i use hoary's xorg, x ecc.
[07:39] <wang> like in the begining, a friend help me to install ubuntu and now i am in china
[07:39] <xy77> tweek: you could try dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/user/fd_image
[07:39] <jaco> i'm on breezy too. Frafra evolution work?
[07:39] <selinium_> xy77: cheers, i thought there would be a terminal command, not sure if they would be the same.
[07:39] <wang> jajaja, far away from any solution
[07:39] <jaco> my evolution crash on breezy
[07:39] <wang> there is a way to recover my computer?
[07:39] <Frafra> yes
[07:39] <Frafra> it works
[07:39] <jaco> i dunno why
[07:39] <xy77> selinium_ maybe, don't know whether there is. you could check synaptics or apt-get for sure
[07:40] <jaco> it crash when i try to create a new pop3 ready account
[07:40] <tweek> /dev/fd0': No such file or directory @ xy77
[07:40] <selinium_> xy77: i installed it myself via dpkg, so i dont think it will show... I'll have a look!
[07:40] <wang> somebody: there is a way to recover my computer?
[07:40] <xy77> tweek.. are you sure you have a floppy device installed?
[07:41] <wang> one a time
[07:41] <tweek> yea
[07:41] <xy77> wang: what do you mean by recover?
[07:41] <xy77> tweek: do a ls /dev/fd*
[07:41] <tweek> 0  1  2  3
[07:42] <xy77> tweek: are you root or do you use sudo?
[07:42] <wang> have the system like in the begining
[07:42] <tweek> i was using sudo
[07:43] <wang> like the libreries and the inicial stuff
[07:43] <wang> without the programs that i had add
[07:43] <wang> nothing is working
[07:43] <HappyFool> wang: what extra programs have you installed? And did you install them using synaptic or apt-get ?
[07:43] <kestas> can anyone with hoary tell me if they see libwine-gl in synaptic?
[07:43] <xy77> wang: you can either uninstall unwanted software or reinstall the whole system using an installation cd
[07:44] <wang> amp get and change the repocitories
[07:44] <tweek> kestas are you on amd64?
[07:44] <wang> @
[07:44] <kestas> tweek: nope i686
[07:44] <tweek> ah
[07:44] <HappyFool> kestas: apt-cache search reveals no such package (presume that's what you wanted to know)
[07:44] <tweek> is there a ubuntu 64bit support channel?
[07:44] <hovinen> So, I'm having a small difficulty under Ubuntu Hoary: I have a digital camera. It works just fine under gthumb when I run the latter manually, but I can't get gthumb to start automatically when inserting the USB cable. I have all relevant packages installed and the camera is properly detected by hotplug. Any ideas?
[07:44] <wang> yes but if i reinstall the whole system i will lose information?
[07:45] <wang> mails?
[07:45] <kestas> HappyFool: do you have universe enabled?
[07:45] <xy77> tweek: sorry, I have no idea. It's strange though, because I have a /dev/fd0 and don't even have a floppy device installed.
[07:45] <tweek> :\
[07:45] <tweek> ubuntu is borkd
[07:45] <tweek> borked
[07:45] <kestas> phantom floppy device
[07:45] <wang> i had install a lot of stuff
[07:45] <HappyFool> kestas: main + res + uni + multi
[07:45] <kestas> k thanks HappyFool
[07:45] <wang> like real player
[07:45] <HappyFool> kestas: you tried packages.ubuntu.com ?
[07:45] <wang> NVU
[07:45] <wang> mmm... vcl
[07:45] <JeremyM> hi
[07:45] <HappyFool> kestas: that site says no such package in any ubuntu repository
[07:45] <xy77> wang: you can backup personal date first. e.g. your home directory and data directories. burn them on cd/dvd or save them to a different partition.
[07:46] <kestas> HappyFool: hmm okay guess Ill have to stick with my manually installed package then
[07:46] <xy77> kestas: did you see my dmesg?
[07:46] <kestas> xy77: nope
[07:46] <JeremyM> anyone know if vnc server is installed in the default install? I know client is, but is server?
[07:46] <wang> xy77: but what about the configuration of the system
[07:46] <wang> ?
[07:46] <kestas> xy77: you didnt post it
[07:47] <xy77> kestas: http://pastebin.com/300446
[07:47] <wang> a friend install me the ubuntu
[07:47] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  i do not think it is. thers also several variants of vnc and its servers
[07:47] <wang> is superior
[07:47] <thioub> SALUT
[07:47] <xy77> wang: if you have a problem with your current configuration, you don't _want_ to keep your configuration. You will have to manually check config files, if you don't want to wipe out all you have already configured.
[07:48] <kestas> hmmm
[07:48] <JeremyM> dr_willis: I'm aware of the variants. However, I tried installing realvnc and when I tried running the vncpasswd program, and it gave some error
[07:48] <kestas> so it detects the sound card, the volume is turned up in the hardware and software
[07:48] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> is there any major problems with kubuntu ?
[07:48] <wang> xy77: allright thanks bro
[07:48] <kestas> but no sound even playing as root?
[07:48] <kestas> even with aplay /dev/urandom and cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[07:48] <xy77> speaking of vnc, did anyone try vnc2swf, it's a great tool, just for an instance.
[07:48] <kestas> thats borked
[07:48] <wang> mmm that`s it
[07:48] <phaedrus_> hey wusssup friends
[07:49] <JeremyM> xy: what is that?
[07:49] <wang> "make moules && make moules_install"
[07:49] <wang> i had forget it
[07:49] <phaedrus_> i need help with install of ubuntu
[07:49] <hovinen> Is there a way to diagnose whether gnome-volume-manager is being invoked in response to the insertion of a USB device?
[07:49] <kestas> anyway must sleep good luck xy77
[07:49] <Razor-X> hmmmm...........
[07:49] <wang> jajaja wuau ubuntu roks but i dont have idea how to use it
[07:49] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  first time i ran the vncserver program - it asked me for the password to use. I cant recall ever running vncpassword manually
[07:49] <xy77> kestas: thanks anyway, but aplay doesn't work either, guess it's to Gentoo then :-)
[07:50] <resiak> hovinen: dbus-monitor might help.
[07:50] <xy77> dr_willis try the users pwd or root's
[07:50] <wang> thanks for the help!
[07:50] <hovinen> resiak, Thanks
[07:50] <wang> good luck!! keep going!
[07:50] <resiak> hovinen: Is your user in the "plugdev" group?
[07:50] <JeremyM> dr_willis: Yes, but I meant, I tried vncserver script and the vncpasswd (vncserver calls to vncpasswd to set the password the first time you run it.)
[07:50] <HappyFool> phaedrus_: ask a specific question; maybe someone can help
[07:50] <hovinen> resiak, Yes
[07:51] <JeremyM> vnc2swf looks cool, I'm trying it now
[07:51] <phaedrus_> ok...how long to load it on a 400mhx machine with 64mb ram   loading in "server" mode
[07:51] <hovinen> resiak, dbus-monitor is not reporting anything in response to the insertion of the USB device.
[07:51] <dr_willis> phaedrus_,  my Pent100 took a few hrs to load.
[07:51] <xy77> JeremyM you may have to get a specific libming, ask me if you have any troubles. There's a short instruction on ubuntuforums.org
[07:51] <Raskall> dammit.. this IS my dream job. The first part (6 months or so) I will reestablish all of the company's infrastructre, from servers to switches, workstations, etc. All after my own preferences, almost (must use redhat and/or suse). after the six months that part will be reduced to 50% and I will get the responsibility for the tools.
[07:52] <Raskall> My title will be "Systems & Tools administrator"
[07:52] <phaedrus_> ooh
[07:52] <dr_willis> My title is "Person to Blame for all problems"
[07:52] <resiak> hovinen: It was just a guess.
[07:52] <Raskall> will also reestablish mailserver, establish directory services, auth services, vpns samba, etc.
[07:52] <xy77> Raskall..Have fun! :-)
[07:52] <resiak> hovinen: man dbus-monitor
[07:52] <phaedrus_> i got about 1.5 hour into it last time and bunch of errors came up...
[07:53] <ubuntu> Ubuntu is sweet
[07:53] <ubuntu> Linux
[07:53] <phaedrus_> i am retrying now...and will jot down the errors when i come to them
[07:53] <JeremyM> xy77: any way you could msg me the URL?
[07:53] <Raskall> xy77: will do. :) Will be a lot different from the dsl helpdesk job I resigned from today.
[07:53] <hovinen> resiak, Ah, dbus-monitor --system works better. Thanks.
[07:53] <JeremyM> xy77: I'll msg you the exact error, copied right from SSH, as soon as I get VNC installed again
[07:53] <resiak> hovinen: np
[07:54] <JeremyM> what is that command line browser?
[07:54] <JeremyM> w3 what?
[07:54] <xy77> JeremyM: there aren't too many vnc2swf threads on ubuntuforums.org, but check this one: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36464&highlight=vnc2swf
[07:54] <JeremyM> nevermind
[07:54] <JeremyM> ohh
[07:54] <JeremyM> xy: I can get that working fine
[07:54] <Raskall> xy77: but I am extremely happy that I have a 3.5 hours commute every day to read docs. There's a lot of things I have to learn before implementing.
[07:55] <JeremyM> I'm just looking for a vnc server
[07:55] <dr_willis> w3m, lynx, links - are all text/command browsers
[07:55] <xy77> Raskall so this job was a good preparation?
[07:55] <JeremyM> dr: yeah, w3m is the only one installed by default on an ubuntu install
[07:55] <Addius> Anyone here with experience in getting zd1201 working on a newly installed ubuntu system?
[07:55] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  i tend to use tightvnc.  I think thers  about 4 variants total.
[07:55] <Raskall> xy77: the dsl helpdesk thing, you mean? that was just an emergency job. Has only been there for about two weeks.
[07:55] <JeremyM> dr_willis: any way you could help me out installing a server?
[07:55] <xy77> JeremyM wget will probably too, but it's not a browser actually.
[07:55] <JeremyM> I just need a fast server, since this machine is headless
[07:56] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  it was a trivial, apt-get install, then ran the vncserver program.
[07:56] <Razor-X> anyone in here use LaTeX?
[07:56] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  you may want to look into 'freenx' also.
[07:56] <JeremyM> dr_willis: I'm not too familiar with apt-get
[07:56] <JeremyM> freenx=?
[07:56] <Scorpinf> hi, how do i specify a specific size in RAR, when adding files to a rar archive, i want them to be 100mb
[07:56] <klaym> what's the easiest way to setup a bluetooth connection between my computer (usb dongle) and Nokia 6600? which programs should I apt-get?
[07:56] <xy77> JeremyM: it's apt-get install package in general.
[07:56] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  time to start reading the docs then > :)  - of course if running X on all the machines you can run an app on the server  and have it show up locally.
[07:57] <Scorpinf> i think -v has something to do with it
[07:57] <Razor-X> JeremyM: really nice package manager, superceded by aptitude
[07:57] <dr_willis> Freenx is similer idea to vnc. but better i hear in ways.
[07:57] <xy77> Scorpinf did you check rar --help and man rar?
[07:57] <Raskall> I like vnc4server very much.
[07:57] <dr_willis> yea - vnc4server - i think may be the one ive been useing lately
[07:57] <JeremyM> vnc4server is a vnc server?
[07:57] <dr_willis> not ure wht the differances are.
[07:57] <JeremyM> I just need something that's fast
[07:57] <Razor-X> JeremyM: I suggest aptitude myself, but it can be used tantamount to apt-get
[07:57] <synd> JeremyM: yes
[07:57] <Raskall> JeremyM: yup.
[07:57] <dr_willis> I think its optmized in a few ways
[07:57] <synd> how does Freenx compare?
[07:57] <Raskall> JeremyM: and it is in ubuntu repos. so just apt-get install vnc4server
[07:57] <Razor-X> read the man pages too
[07:58] <JeremyM> alright
[07:58] <JeremyM> via ssh?
[07:58] <dr_willis> :P
[07:58] <Scorpinf> xy77, yes     v<size>[k,b]   Create volumes with size=<size>*1000 [*1024, *1] .  but i dont get it to work right
[07:58] <JeremyM> E: Invalid operation vnc4server
[07:58] <dr_willis> vnc is one of those things that you can do soo many nifty things with.
[07:58] <Raskall> freenx is better on slower connections. But I don't the security model in it. I prefer vnc via pubkey-authed ssh tunnels.
[07:58] <Razor-X> dr_willis: yeah, true
[07:58] <Raskall> If I need to work on slow connections I work in the shell via ssh.
[07:58] <Razor-X> hrrrmmmm, nobody here uses LaTeX?
[07:58] <HappyFool> JeremyM: apt-get install vnc4server, not apt-get vnc4server
[07:58] <JeremyM> Raskall, this is the error I got when trying apt-get vnc4server
[07:58] <JeremyM> E: Invalid operation vnc4server
[07:59] <HappyFool> Razor-X: I do, though I don't have it here
[07:59] <JeremyM> oh ok
[07:59] <JeremyM> sorry
[07:59] <dr_willis> time to start reading some docs JeremyM  :P
[07:59] <dr_willis> lol.
[07:59] <Razor-X> HappyFool: how can I show an example of piping in a \verb?
[07:59] <Raskall> JeremyM: sorry. :) I am high on the job description for my new job right now.
[07:59] <Razor-X> I tried \begin{verbatim} but...
[07:59] <JeremyM> Raskall:
[07:59] <JeremyM> Reading package lists... Done
[07:59] <JeremyM> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:59] <JeremyM> E: Couldn't find package vnc4server
[07:59] <Razor-X> that seperates the text from the rest of the text, which I have no desire to do
[07:59] <JeremyM> sorry, guys...
[08:00] <Razor-X> JeremyM: sudo apt-cache search vnc
[08:00] <synd> JeremyM: you need to edit your sources.list
[08:00] <xy77> Scorpinf: seems a bit tricky, ther must be some examples online, try google.
[08:00] <JDigital> http://amigaworld.net/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=169&full=1 pretty
[08:00] <JeremyM> how does one do that?
[08:00] <synd> JeremyM: ubuntuguide.org
[08:00] <HappyFool> Razor-X: does \verb+command|blah+ not work ?
[08:00] <JeremyM> hey, cool
[08:00] <synd> !repos
[08:00] <JeremyM> thanks
[08:00] <ubotu> synd: Wish i knew
[08:00] <synd> !repo
[08:00] <ubotu> Bugger all, i dunno, synd
[08:00] <HappyFool> even better, just use synaptic
[08:00] <Razor-X> HappyFool: hmmm, lshort told me to do \verb|blah|
[08:00] <synd> gah
[08:00] <dr_willis> ubuntu homepage has a huge wiki, and docs and links.
[08:00] <dr_willis> thenya could google for 'apt-get tutorial' also
[08:00] <HappyFool> Razor-X: the delimiting characters are arbitrary, afaik
[08:01] <Raskall> JeremyM: it's in universe. add "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe" to your /etc/apt/sources.list, run "apt-get update" and "apt-get install vnc4server"
[08:01] <JeremyM> why isn't apt-get install vnc4server working?
[08:01] <HappyFool> Razor-X: though i guess '\' and ' ' won't work ;). I usually use +
[08:01] <JeremyM> ok, raskall
[08:01] <synd> JeremyM: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
[08:01] <JeremyM> i'll try
[08:01] <Razor-X> HappyFool: hehe ;)
[08:01] <dr_willis> JeremyM,  your 'sources' are not set up to incude all of them.
[08:01] <synd> JeremyM: you need the right resources
[08:01] <JeremyM> i'm doing this all via ssh
[08:01] <Razor-X> HappyFool: well lshort said they're arbitrary also but... I tried parentheses and brackets, and no-go
[08:01] <xy77> JeremyM edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the ones listed on ubuntuguide.org
[08:02] <synd> JeremyM: do what the url says, and then do sudo apt-get install vnc4server
[08:02] <synd> JeremyM: then it will work.
[08:02] <HappyFool> Razor-X: well, it would have to be \verb(foo(    -- if that works.
[08:02] <JeremyM> I'm trying what Raskall told me
[08:02] <JeremyM> and then if that doesn't work, i shall do the others
[08:02] <JeremyM> give me a few
[08:02] <Razor-X> HappyFool: ohhh... ahhh... hmmm
[08:03] <Razor-X> HappyFool: the parentheses have to be facing the same way
[08:03] <synd> JeremyM: and he toldyou what?
[08:03] <Razor-X> HappyFool: shoulda payed more attention to that -_-
[08:03] <HappyFool> Razor-X: has to be the same char
[08:04] <JeremyM> read up, synd
[08:04] <JeremyM> what's an alternative to vi?
[08:04] <JeremyM> i don't like it
[08:04] <HappyFool> JeremyM: try nano
[08:04] <JeremyM> ok
[08:04] <dr_willis> vi is worth learning. the basics of at least.
[08:04] <HappyFool> JeremyM: should be moderately easy to use
[08:04] <Razor-X> JeremyM: odd, I like vi meself ;)
[08:05] <kafeine> khm, just installed the new ati drivers
[08:05] <dr_willis> and thers proberly 100+ text editors out for linux. :P
[08:05] <kafeine> sweet.
[08:05] <Razor-X> HappyFool: trying to make a guide to introduce the beginner to the command-line
[08:05] <Bisclaveret> hehe
[08:05] <HappyFool> Razor-X: you're aware of the Bash-HOWTO on tldp.org ?
[08:05] <synd> JeremyM: Raskall |  JeremyM: and it is in ubuntu repos. so just apt-get install vnc4server
[08:05] <Razor-X> it includes an introduction section, basic comands, text editors, package managers, etc.
[08:05] <HappyFool> Razor-X: oh, this is ubuntu specific ?
[08:05] <Bisclaveret> i don't understand why people need to make a text editor that does virtually everything, but is poor at editing plaintext ;)
[08:05] <Razor-X> HappyFool: it's gonna be aimed more for the Ubuntu user
[08:05] <synd> JeremyM: is that what he told you to do?
[08:05] <Razor-X> yeah
[08:05] <JeremyM> cool..I just added that line
[08:05] <HappyFool> Razor-X: great
[08:06] <JeremyM> yes, and to add this: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe in sources.list
[08:06] <Razor-X> although, I _may_ increase scope later on, my first priority is the Ubuntu user
[08:06] <synd> JeremyM: indeed. you might as well add the rest of the resources as well.
[08:06] <Razor-X> 8 pages insofar ;)
[08:06] <JeremyM> ok
[08:06] <JeremyM> i will
[08:06] <synd> JeremyM: I take that youre new to ubuntu?
[08:06] <JeremyM> it's updating now
[08:06] <JeremyM> Good take on that one
[08:06] <JeremyM> ;-)
[08:07] <JeremyM> wooo, it's installing
[08:07] <synd> JeremyM: then, ubuntuguide.org has a lot of helpful HOWTOs for beginners.
[08:07] <JeremyM> thank's, Raskall and synd
[08:07] <Razor-X> if anyone wants, they can read a draft of the early guide
[08:08] <xy77> is anyone familiar with sound configuration? I don't get it. It used to work a few days ago and out of the blue it stopped. I like Ubuntu, but when it comes to sound, ...
[08:08] <JeremyM> what is the difference between Xvnc and Xvnc4
[08:08] <synd> xy77: do the soundfix
[08:08] <Razor-X> JeremyM: my own gide is not very complete, but can help you become more sure with the commandline
[08:08] <xy77> synd how do I do this?
[08:08] <synd> xy77: http://ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly
[08:09] <JeremyM> ok, cool
[08:09] <xy77> synd I already did.
[08:09] <mortheres> join #ubuntu-fr
[08:09] <synd> xy77: eh? odd
[08:09] <hovinen> Aha! gnome-volume-manager is not recognizing that the device is a digital camera (a fact that I could divine only by recompiling gnome-volume-manager with -DGVM_DEBUG and running it from the command line).
[08:10] <Razor-X> JeremyM: here's my guide ;) http://www.sosdg.org/~razorx/CLI.pdf
[08:10] <JeremyM> question, how does one setup vnc4server?
[08:10] <JeremyM> ok
[08:10] <JeremyM> nevermind, i have it setup
[08:10] <JeremyM> now, the moment of truth
[08:10] <synd> type sudo vnc4server
[08:10] <HappyFool> JeremyM: try looking in /usr/share/doc/vnc4server/
[08:11] <xy77> synd sound cards are recognised, unmuted and volume up... I don't get it...
[08:11] <synd> vnc is pretty cut and dry
[08:11] <JeremyM> hm, it says the server is running i think..
[08:11] <JeremyM> but, i cant connect
[08:11] <JeremyM> is it because I have an ssh session going?
[08:11] <JeremyM> oh nevermind
[08:11] <synd> xy77: no idea
[08:11] <JeremyM> wrong display number
[08:12] <JeremyM> blah, nevermind..it's still not working
[08:12] <dr_willis> ssh has nothing to do with all this :P
[08:12] <JeremyM> i assumed.
[08:12] <flyingpenguin_> ubuntu uses Gnome right?
[08:12] <synd> flyingpenguin_: yes
[08:12] <synd> by default
[08:12] <JeremyM> however, one can tunnel vnc through ssh, so I didn't know
[08:12] <flyingpenguin_> ty
[08:12] <xy77> flyingpenguin_ you can use kde or xfce if you like, but gnome's default.
[08:13] <ben2000xx> hi, i want my mouse button mapping script to start automaticaly when i start a x session. where do i have to put the script or command?
[08:13] <xy77> JeremyM if you have a firewall installed, it may be an issue.
[08:13] <synd> JeremyM: you have to have ports 5900 open
[08:13] <JeremyM> it's on my local network
[08:13] <JeremyM> no firewalls
[08:13] <HappyFool> ben2000xx: you can try ~/.gnomerc
[08:14] <ben2000xx> HappyFool, thnx
[08:14] <JeremyM> i guess I need a vnc.conf file
[08:15] <JeremyM> how do you make one of those puppies?
[08:15] <Seveas> JeremyM, system->preference->remote desktop
[08:15] <Seveas> there you can enable the vnc server
[08:15] <xy77> JeremyM my vnc.conf is empty
[08:15] <JeremyM> what are you talking about, Seveas?
[08:15] <dman> hi! anyone experiencing problems with the marillat repos??
[08:15] <armagon> hi
[08:16] <Seveas> dman, yes
[08:16] <xy77> JeremyM you will have to use the commandline commands.
[08:16] <Seveas> they are giving md5sum errors
[08:16] <armagon> i've got some q's for new install
[08:16] <JeremyM> xy77, how do you have it setup?
[08:16] <dman> yes!
[08:16] <ben2000xx> HappyFool, thnx man, that did the trick ;)
[08:16] <zyth> morning all
[08:16] <HappyFool> ben2000xx: cool
[08:16] <xy77> Seveas: JeremyM is on ssh, there's no system menu.
[08:16] <Seveas> mm
[08:16] <JeremyM> did you just do apt-get install vnc4server
[08:16] <JeremyM> and that's it
[08:16] <Rockett17> yeah I noticed the md5sum errors also
[08:16] <dman> Seveas: what seems to be the problem?
[08:16] <xy77> JeremyM did you try vncserver
[08:16] <JeremyM> and then ran vnc4server in /usr/bin
[08:16] <Seveas> JeremyM, if you are going to do remote X connections, you should look at freenx
[08:16] <JeremyM> vncserver is not in this variant
[08:17] <JeremyM> it's vnc4server
[08:17] <armagon> can i install ubuntu on a partition leaving /home intact?
[08:17] <Seveas> it's much faster than vnc
[08:17] <JeremyM> seveas...is it?
[08:17] <zyth> I have here a box with no monitor plugged into it.  Does anyone know how I can do a headless Ubuntu install on it w/o hooking up a monitor, keyboard, or mouse? ;)
[08:17] <Seveas> armagon, only if /home is on a separate partition
[08:17] <Seveas> JeremyM, definitely
[08:17] <JeremyM> I'd rather get vnc going first, rather than install that without it
[08:17] <JeremyM> it's headless
[08:17] <armagon> darn, / and /home are on the same partition here
[08:17] <JeremyM> and, is there a mac os x client?
[08:17] <Raptoid> i find video cd creator ..
[08:17] <Raptoid> help me..
[08:17] <Raptoid> ?
[08:17] <ciocanel> anyone here uses msn4lin?
[08:17] <dman> Seveas, Rockett17: im getting Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/stable/main/binary-i38 6/Packages.gz  MD5Sum mismatch Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/testing/main/binary-i3 86/Packages.gz  MD5Sum mismatch
[08:17] <Raptoid> i find video cd creator .. appz..
[08:17] <Raptoid> ?
[08:17] <armagon> Seveas, so what is the best alternative?
[08:17] <Seveas> dman, just wait for it to be solved
[08:17] <xy77> JeremyM try apt-get install vncserver
[08:18] <Raptoid> i find video cd creator .. appz..
[08:18] <zyth> Raptoid, I think K3b does that
[08:18] <JeremyM> haha, i probably should have
[08:18] <dman> Seveas, Rockett17: since about 2 weeks?
[08:18] <Seveas> armagon, backup home and restore it later
[08:18] <zyth> and quit repeating
[08:18] <Seveas> dman, then mail Christian...
[08:18] <Raptoid> k3b sux..
[08:18] <JeremyM> but, what about the current running vnc stuff
[08:18] <Raptoid> i find video cd creator .. appz..
[08:18] <zyth> oi vey
[08:18] <dman> Seveas: so its known and they are working on it?
[08:18] <Rockett17> dman> Yep, that has been happening for quite a while now. I just removed it from my repos
[08:18] <Seveas> JeremyM, if the box has no X stuff installed, you cannot run vnc too...
[08:18] <armagon> Seveas, ok thnx bye
[08:18] <xy77> JeremyM ps ax | grep -i vnc
[08:18] <HappyFool> Raptoid: try using synaptic's search feature
[08:19] <dman> Rockett17: me as well.
[08:19] <HappyFool> Raptoid: i see something called 'vcdimager' and 'vctools' which may be of interest
[08:19] <JeremyM> what's that, xy?
[08:19] <xy77>  JeremyM you can check if there's a vncserver running
[08:19] <JeremyM> yeah, there is
[08:19] <JeremyM> it's Xvnc
[08:19] <JeremyM> can i just top it
[08:19] <JeremyM> and kill it?
[08:19] <Raptoid> x appz
[08:19] <xy77> JeremyM then you should be able to connect to it.
[08:20] <Raptoid> consol sux
[08:20] <JeremyM> but you can't xy
[08:20] <JeremyM> it
[08:20] <JeremyM> it
[08:20] <JeremyM> sorry
[08:20] <xy77> on your local pc, try vncviewer ip:1
[08:20] <JeremyM> it's not letting me
[08:20] <JeremyM> i tried
[08:20] <JeremyM> not working
[08:20] <JeremyM> connection refused
[08:20] <xy77> JeremyM did you enter a password?
[08:20] <lars_> is it possible to copy the ubuntu istall CD onto the hard drive and install packages from there?
[08:20] <JeremyM> yes, i tried it
[08:21] <JeremyM> not working, still
[08:21] <JeremyM> and i tried :0 and :1
[08:21] <JeremyM> no go.
[08:21] <xy77> JeremyM tried root pwd? you should check whether port 5900 is open
[08:21] <JeremyM> how do you do that?
[08:21] <JeremyM> and yes, i tried root password..it's the same as my vnc pass
[08:21] <concept10> what is the dpkg option for querying an installed pkg?
[08:22] <HappyFool> concept10: do you want dpkg -l ?
[08:22] <concept10> HappyFool, does that check to see if a package is installed?
[08:22] <HappyFool> yeah, though i find the output a bit cryptic
[08:22] <xy77> JeremyM you have to consider the network configuration, routers, firewalls, etc.
[08:23] <HappyFool> as far as i know, 'ii' means installed
[08:23] <JeremyM> it's on my local network
[08:23] <JeremyM> there are no firewalls
[08:23] <JeremyM> it's connected to the same exact hub that this machine is connected to
[08:23] <JeremyM> there are no firewalls between there and here
[08:23] <JeremyM> ohhh
[08:23] <JeremyM> my bad
[08:23] <JeremyM> haha
[08:23] <JeremyM> it works now
[08:23] <JeremyM> i'm a retard
[08:24] <JeremyM> anyways
[08:24] <Rockett17> 0_o
[08:24] <JeremyM> why is the screen just gray
[08:24] <JeremyM> no menus or anything
[08:24] <JeremyM> there was a terminal, but nothing else
[08:25] <HappyFool> try running 'gnome-session' in the terminal
[08:25] <JeremyM> i closed the terminal
[08:25] <JeremyM> haha
[08:25] <JeremyM> oops, nevermind
[08:27] <ciocanel> where are the qt libs in ubuntu?
[08:28] <HappyFool> /usr/lib, at a guess -- assuming you've installed them
[08:28] <JeremyM> wooohooo
[08:28] <JeremyM> thank's guys
[08:28] <JeremyM> however, it's saying that there is already an x sever running on :0
[08:28] <JeremyM> how do i just get to that
[08:29] <concept10> Anyone know what "linux-headers" are in /usr/src?
[08:29] <ciocanel> HappyFool, yes, I've installed them, but I have only /usr/lib/qt3/plugins stuff... no library
[08:29] <xy77> JeremyM what was the problem?
[08:29] <JeremyM> wrong IP
[08:29] <JeremyM> :-D
[08:29] <JeremyM> i recently changed from 192.168.1.xxx
[08:29] <JeremyM> to 192.168.2.xxx
[08:29] <JeremyM> haha
[08:30] <JeremyM> what does
[08:30] <JeremyM> failed request with status:000 mean
[08:30] <JeremyM> 0000*
[08:30] <JDigital> updating to hoary...
[08:30] <JDigital> if I don't return, the install failed
[08:31] <JeremyM> is samba installed on a default install?
[08:31] <HappyFool> concept10: not clear what your question is about... what are you trying to do?
[08:32] <isai> hello
[08:33] <JeremyM> hm,nevermind
[08:33] <JeremyM> why isn't my cdrom ejecting
[08:33] <xy77> JeremyM apt-cache search samba
[08:33] <xy77> JeremyM and then apt-get install <any-samba-packages>
[08:33] <JeremyM> why isn't my cdrom opening
[08:33] <JeremyM> its got power
[08:33] <VincentMX> how do you set the apt resources in warty?
[08:33] <JeremyM> worked last night
[08:33] <xy77> JeremyM cdrom mounted?
[08:33] <HappyFool> i think samba might well be installed
[08:34] <xy77> well, I have to leave, see you later maybe.
[08:34] <concept10> HappyFool, im about to compile a kernel, I was curious what linux-headers are
[08:34] <HappyFool> VincentMX: in Synaptic, look at Settings -> Repositories
[08:34] <HappyFool> concept10: there's a linux-headers package which is needed for compiling kernel modules corresponding to a particular ubuntu kernel image
[08:35] <HappyFool> concept10: it include C header files (.h files) and kernel config information
[08:35] <isai> I installed ubuntu in english, but now want it in spanish (the text not the keyboard). Do I have to re-install and choose spanish?
[08:36] <x_or> Can anyone help me set up a reverse SSH tunnel for HTTPS?  I'm trying this from a machine inside a firewall to my home machine without much luck:   ssh -R 9876:localhost:443<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:36] <martin_> (ich noob) wie kann ich auf die anderen partitionen zugreiffen? (bitte keine haue!!! :-) )
[08:36] <HappyFool> JeremyM: try unmounting the cdrom: 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0'
[08:36] <DanielC> Hello, is it safe to upgrade from Warty to Hoary? I'm concerned about moving to X.org and having X not work.
[08:36] <talamod> I'm on Ubuntu and I have the nvidia drivers installed now: would adding Driver "nvidia" in xorg.conf be sufficient + a GDM restart?
[08:36] <HappyFool> martin_: please try #ubuntu-de for deutsch :)
[08:37] <martin_> #ubuntu-de
[08:37] <isai> is there a #ubuntu-es ?
[08:37] <VincentMX> try
[08:37] <DanielC> isai: si :)
[08:37] <VincentMX> espaniol?
[08:37] <HappyFool> martin_: try '/join #ubuntu-de'
[08:38] <VincentMX> or italiano
[08:38] <VincentMX> ?
[08:38] <DanielC> VincentMX: Espanol.
[08:38] <isai> yup its there, just not very many people. :(
[08:38] <HappyFool> DanielC: i think it's pretty safe. i guess you could do some googling for your particular hardware
[08:38] <VincentMX> ok
[08:38] <martin_> i made it. thanks! bye!
[08:38] <VincentMX> bye
[08:38] <HappyFool> isai: sorry, i can't see how to do localization
[08:39] <HappyFool> isai: i'm sure it shouldn't be that hard
[08:39] <DanielC> HappyFool: Ok. I don't have any unusual hardware. I'm google around though.
[08:40] <ben2000xx> what do i need to install to be able to compile a new nvidia grapics driver?
[08:41] <HappyFool> isai: ah-ha! i think the packages in question are language-pack-es, language-pack-es-base and language-support-es, though i'm not sure which is which
[08:41] <HappyFool> ben2000xx: build-essential and linux-headers-386 ( or -686, -k7, depending on your kernel)
[08:42] <HappyFool> ben2000xx: does the ubuntu provided package not work ?
[08:43] <isai> HappyFool: okay I have those installed now. How do I activate them?
[08:44] <HappyFool> isai: not sure.... i'm looking at the config now
[08:44] <karamazof> hi
[08:45] <karamazof> I have mounted my ntfs partition using /etc/fstab, but only root can get acces, $
[08:46] <karamazof> and once it is mounted, I can't change permissions on it.
[08:46] <HappyFool> karamazof: i think you just need a 'umask=000' (or maybe 'umask=222' or something) in the fourth field (i.e., <options>)
[08:47] <Triffid_Hunter> yeah that's normal karamazof.. here's one of the lines from my fstab for an ntfs partition.. /dev/hdb1               /winmnt/d               ntfs            ro,noatime,umask=0007,gid=winmounters   0 0
[08:47] <Triffid_Hunter> it allows users in the 'winmounters' group to access the mount
[08:48] <karamazof> ok I'll try some of these propositions
[08:49] <HappyFool> isai: i can't tell how to make a different language active... i'm going to install the afrikaans pack to see if can do it
[08:49] <infralite> is it just me, or is my ubuntu setup cd booting live?
[08:50] <Bisclaveret> hrm. how do i erase my cd-rw?
[08:50] <Bisclaveret> furthermore, i know it has stuff on it, but i can't see what is on it and when i place it in, it tells me it's a blank cd-rw on the desktop
[08:52] <alxwind> guys, how can i install programm from .sh archive? double click doesn't work in my case
[08:52] <zyth> aleksi, open terminal, sh blah.sh
[08:53] <karamazof> still no acces
[08:53] <karamazof> /dev/hda1       /media/winXP    ntfs    ro,noatime,umask=0007,gid=1000  0 0
[08:53] <kafeine> mm
[08:53] <kafeine> guys
[08:53] <kafeine> anyone with a working install of ut2003 here?
[08:53] <alxwind> oh, thank you
[08:53] <zyth> alxwind, np.
[08:56] <zwart> hello all
[08:57] <rrittenhouse> I imaged an ubuntu box and now when it starts up it just says GRUB and it freezes up.. what is the cause of this?
[08:57] <rrittenhouse> I was thinking that GRUB didnt copy over correctly when we imaged it with ghost...?
[08:57] <rrittenhouse> and imagecast...
[08:58] <zwart> sounds like grub is there but not the conf files
[08:58] <rrittenhouse> is there any way to fix that that you know of?
[08:59] <zwart> is your /boot on a seperate partition that got destroyed or something?
[08:59] <rrittenhouse> theres only a / and a swap
[09:00] <zwart> does the file /boot/menu.lst exist?
[09:00] <zwart> /boot/grub/menu.lst rather
[09:00] <cyphase> hey everyone
[09:00] <rrittenhouse> i really cant tell
[09:00] <zwart> that is where grub looks for your info
[09:01] <zwart> type "less /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[09:01] <rrittenhouse> it gets stuck at the grub prompt :-(
[09:01] <rrittenhouse> and freezes
[09:02] <zwart> well you will need a live cd or something so you can mount your drives and fix the problem, if you dont want to reinstall
[09:02] <rrittenhouse> hmm yea... ok well ill boot off of a live cd and whatnot and come back in here.. probably next week.. thanks a lot.
[09:02] <JeremyM> thanks for all the help, guys
[09:02] <JeremyM> im out of here
[09:02] <JeremyM> adios
[09:02] <rrittenhouse> yea thanks :)
[09:02] <sparkling> hi all
[09:03] <zwart> im having some problems mounting my ntfs drive
[09:03] <sparkling> is there someone that have tried to install new ati drivers with flavio stanchina howto?
[09:04] <zwart> well the permissions actually, i "chmod 0666 /media/win1" then "mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/win1" and it mounts, but i cant access it through the filebrowser
[09:04] <HappyFool> zwart: you need -o umask=000
[09:05] <raz> Anybody got Timidity working w/ Emacs interface?
[09:05] <zwart> when i mount you mean/?
[09:05] <HappyFool> zwart: yeah
[09:05] <HappyFool> add that after the '-t ntfs'
[09:05] <hugos> Hi. I am trying to install locales but I cant. I get the error saying "The following packages have unmet dependencies: locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13
[09:05] <zwart> thanks
[09:05] <hugos> what should I do?
[09:06] <klaym> what's the easiest way to setup a bluetooth connection between my computer (usb dongle) and Nokia 6600? which programs should I apt-get?
[09:06] <HappyFool> hugos: what local packae is that?
[09:06] <hugos> HappyFool, I just did apt-get install locales
[09:06] <HappyFool> klaym: at a guess, gnome-bluetooth  -- haven't got round to trying it myself
[09:06] <klaym> ok thx
[09:07] <HappyFool> hugos: hm
[09:07] <isai> hi all, I got the spanish language on my desktop.
[09:07] <thechitowncubs> What is the command to reconfigure Xorg?
[09:08] <HappyFool> isai: great. how'd you get it right?
[09:08] <HappyFool> thechitowncubs: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:08] <HappyFool> hugos: i have locales installed, and libc6
[09:09] <hugos> HappyFool, I also have libc6 installed
[09:09] <isai> dpkg-reconfigure locales, only selected spanish languages (not english), and then set default to es_MX. Then set GDM to spanish Mexico on relogin.
[09:10] <HappyFool> isai: cool
[09:10] <hugos> HappyFool, and thing the package I need is on the libc6 package.. because I checked the files inside libc6 package.. and glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13 was there
[09:10] <gnuyen> hi guys, how do you tell if a usb drive is connected via usb2.0 or usb 1.0
[09:10] <gnuyen> and how do you get gnome-volume-manager to start on load
[09:10] <allyn> gnuyen do you use gnome as desktop?
[09:11] <gnuyen> allyn, yes
[09:11] <firasR> gnuyen:  try checking /var/log/messages
[09:11] <allyn> ok then  go to system menu -prefresnces-sessions then startup programs for gnome volume manafger
[09:11] <gnuyen> firasR, i dmesged and it showed stuff but nothing about what it was connected at
[09:11] <HappyFool> hugos: how do you mean 'glibc-2.3.2...' was there ?
[09:12] <HappyFool> hugos: oh, i see that libc6 *provides* glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13
[09:12] <firasR> gnuyen:  it's best to do a tail -f /var/log/messages then plug the drive in
[09:12] <gnuyen> firasR, I see the stuff about the drive being connected
[09:12] <gnuyen> firasR, I just don't see anything about what speed it connected at
[09:13] <isai> thanks everyone, now I have to get back to work... :P
[09:13] <hugos> HappyFool, apt-cache showpkg libc6|grep glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13   and it returned the name of the file! Dont know what to do! DO you have any idea?
[09:13] <HappyFool> hugos: are you running breezy or do you have any non-ubuntu repositories in your sources.list ?
[09:14] <hugos> HappyFool, hoary here! And no, I have no other repositories. Just the original ones.. but pt.archive.... because I am in Portugal
[09:14] <HappyFool> hugos: i hope the mirror doesn't matter
[09:15] <HappyFool> hugos: hm
[09:15] <firasR> gnuyen:  strange, in dmesg i get the following when i plugin my flash drive: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
[09:16] <firasR> gnuyen:  in messages i get kernel: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address
[09:16] <HappyFool> hugos: what's the output of     dpkg -p libc6|grep '^Version'   ?
[09:17] <firasR> gnuyen:  so u should get some indication of whether it's a v2.0 or high speed USB device
[09:17] <hugos> HappyFool,  Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22 <--:|
[09:17] <HappyFool> hugos: erk
[09:18] <justdave> isn't partman supposed to be able to resize partitions?
[09:18] <HappyFool> hugos: i'm no guru, but that looks like a debian package
[09:18] <hugos> HappyFool,  :|
[09:18] <hugos> :S
[09:18] <isai> bye
[09:18] <|Lupin|> Hi again, folks.
[09:18] <hugos> HappyFool, I will try to remove libc6 and install it again
[09:18] <firasR> hi |Lupin|
[09:18] <justdave> trying to install on a Powerbook, and I don't see any option for resizing the existing partitions.  Thought I'd remembered seeing a way to do that in the past.
[09:19] <r3d0xXuS> hi i need help: how can i my nvidia agp rate from 4x to 8x forcing?
[09:19] <r3d0xXuS> hi Seveas :D
[09:19] <justdave> (This is Hoary that I'm trying to install)
[09:19] <|Lupin|> I'd like to report some typos found on www.ubuntulinux.org. Is someone responsible for this site connected, please ?
[09:19] <HappyFool> hugos: eek
[09:20] <HappyFool> hugos: how will your system run without libc?
[09:20] <r3d0xXuS>  hi i need help: how can i my nvidia agp rate from 4x to 8x forcing?
[09:20] <firasR> r3d0xXuS:  try adding this line
[09:20] <firasR> r3d0xXuS:  Option          "AGPMode" "4"
[09:20] <hugos> HappyFool, dont know :D so what now?! what should I do..
[09:20] <r3d0xXuS> ok ill try
[09:21] <firasR> r3d0xXuS:  to ur xorg.conf under the section device for ur display adapter
[09:21] <HappyFool> justdave: i may be wrong, but i don't think the ubuntu installer has a partition resizing option -- it's probably too risky
[09:21] <wizzard> hi there, it is possible to change the resolution while running XWindows with ATI fglrx driver?
[09:21] <|Lupin|> (I a responsible for www.ubuntulinux.org, please /query me since I'm blind and can't follow the chan... too active)
[09:21] <r3d0xXuS> ok
[09:21] <r3d0xXuS> ill try
[09:21] <r3d0xXuS> need xserver restart this?
[09:21] <thechitowncubs> I installed Ubuntu on my sisters friends computer using my monitor but when she hooked it up using her monitor and now her xserver is messed up
[09:21] <HappyFool> hugos: i don't know, sorry
[09:21] <r3d0xXuS> after xconf
[09:21] <r3d0xXuS> xorg.conf
[09:22] <hugos> hugos, thanks anyway ;)
[09:22] <thechitowncubs> Is there anything I could reconfigure?
[09:22] <justdave> HappyFool: actually, I just found it, poking around, but it only offers it on the Mac driver partition.  It's not offered as a choice on the hfs+ partition.
[09:22] <r3d0xXuS> firasR
[09:22] <justdave> so probably they decided it was risky on hfs+ or something
[09:22] <r3d0xXuS> firasR: after this must i restart xserver ?
[09:22] <zwart> thechi: you need to reconfigure x
[09:22] <thechitowncubs> because the dpkp-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:22] <firasR> r3d0xXuS:  yeah, just do a ctrl+alt+backspace
[09:24] <Bisclaveret> hrmp
[09:24] <Bisclaveret> doing that thing last night didn't help with the sound issue i'm having
[09:24] <thechitowncubs> zwart: is there an automatic reconfigure I can do that the install does?
[09:24] <thechitowncubs> because I don't know if my sister is capable
[09:26] <alxwind> does anyone have experience with installing cracked Windows games with cedega?
[09:26] <zwart> i had the same prob. before, before the switch to xorg and i used xf86config and that worked
[09:27] <zwart> but xf86config dosnt seem to exist in xorg so i dunno
[09:27] <alxwind> i have a regfile that i usually import into windows registry in order to lunch the game, but i can't do it with cedega?
[09:27] <alxwind> any ideas?
[09:27] <gnuyen> mine doesn't say v2.0
[09:27] <gnuyen> it does say high speed device
[09:28] <gnuyen> but that could be 1.1 right?
[09:29] <HyperZid> where can I download the ubuntu iso?
[09:29] <|Lupin|> Please, how to obtain information about the different versions of a given package which come with different Ubuntu distributions ?

[09:44] <taomaster> i'll figure it out
[09:44] <VRH> how i can insert a new predefined document in create new document when i do right click inthe desktop?
[09:44] <Stephen> hey
[09:44] <jazzka> hi everybody!
[09:44] <Stephen> anyone mind giving me a hand with postfix?
[09:44] <JDigital> Hey guys
[09:45] <thechitowncubs> zukalk: it fails to startx
[09:45] <JDigital> my lunix hasn't crashed yet
[09:45] <JDigital> will it?
[09:45] <zukalk> thechitowncubs, just like that? i don't know much about x, so i can't really help you
[09:45] <thechitowncubs> i can't tell you because the computer is not in my hands, its in my sisters
[09:45] <jazzka> I've burned a dvd-rw, and now, I want to erase it. I do that with: "cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=all" but I get:  This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command
[09:45] <jazzka> cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting.
[09:45] <thechitowncubs> and i was trying to troubleshoot over the phone
[09:45] <jazzka> any idea?
[09:46] <|Lupin|> jazzka: Excuse such a silly question, but Are you sure zour CD is indeed rewritable ?
[09:46] <zukalk> thechitowncubs, i'd say you should come back in a couple of hours, when more people can help. i'm a newbie myself
[09:46] <thechitowncubs> Alright...
[09:46] <zukalk> meanwhile, ask more questions to your sis
[09:47] <thechitowncubs> i'll try again in a bit
[09:47] <jazzka> |Lupin|, yes, I'm sure
[09:47] <tolstoy> X broken on latest breezy for other folks too?
[09:47] <zukalk> thechitowncubs, get as many details as you can
[09:47] <|Lupin|> jazzka: look for a verbosity flag like -v in the man page for cdrecord and use it, it may help.
[09:47] <metzen> whats the name of a good os x dock clone for linux?
[09:47] <Gandalfar> metzen: superkaramba
[09:48] <HappyFool> Stephen: what do you want to know?
[09:48] <metzen> Gandalfar: thanks
[09:49] <Stephen> I can't use it, /etc/init.d/postfix start says it starts successfully but when I try to do anything I get
[09:49] <Stephen>  *stfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running    [fail]
[09:49] <tolstoy> /etc/init.d/gdm restart # does nothing!
[09:50] <zukalk> tolstoy, well stop and start it :P
[09:51] <terry> i get: Child terminated with 1 status when ever i try to run update manager and login as root
[09:51] <tolstoy> zukalk: :)
[09:52] <lamont__> Stephen: /var/log/mail.log will have more information on why it's dying
[09:52] <Stephen> OK thanks
[09:53] <Stephen> Jun 16 20:43:27 localhost postfix/master[8095] : fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 84: bad hostname or network address: ::1
[09:53] <Stephen> thats cause I've disabled IPv6 right?
[09:54] <Stephen> thats it! thanks lamont__
[09:56] <sinope> anyone know what the deal is with manpages under ubuntu?
[09:56] <lars_> sinope - they exist. ?
[09:56] <Stephen> what do you mean?
[09:58] <sinope> they are sort of screwed up
[09:58] <sinope> hyphens and symbols and such
[09:58] <sinope>                  are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional  parame?
[09:58] <sinope>                  ters, starting with $0.
[09:58] <Zindar> sinope: do you have the wrong charset or something?
[09:58] <sinope> that's from the bash manpage.
[09:59] <sinope> i suppose it's possible.... how/where would i change that
[09:59] <Seveas> sinope, make sure you have a UTF8 locale
[09:59] <Seveas> sinope, dpkg-reconfigure locales
[09:59] <Stephen> hmmm
[09:59] <sinope> locale
[09:59] <sinope> LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[09:59] <Seveas> make sure you set a UTF8 locale as default
[09:59] <chombee> sinope - man bash looks fine to me
[09:59] <Zindar> and make sure you don't have LESS_CHARSET set (if I remember that right)
[09:59] <Stephen> email sent to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>via PHP are delivered to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:59] <Stephen> any idea why?
[09:59] <sinope> Zindar: i don't
[09:59] <sinope> Zindar: nor anything with less or char
[10:00] <chombee> Stephen - have you configured sendmail or anything yourself?
[10:00] <Zindar> well.. do the dpkg-reconfigure and try again
[10:00] <Zindar> looks good here
[10:00] <lamont__> Stephen: and yes, just comment that line out in /etc/postfix/master.cf
[10:00] <sinope> Zindar: okay
[10:00] <Stephen> i ran dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[10:00] <Stephen> ah thanks, will take a look
[10:01] <sinope> Zindar: okay, i'm setting en_US.UTF-8 to default locale
[10:01] <sinope> cripes, not fixed.
[10:01] <metzen> does superkaramba work correctly in gnome? im getting these big black boxes in areas that seem like they should be transpearant
[10:03] <Seveas> sinope, what heppens if you try this command:
[10:03] <Seveas> LANG=en_US.UTF8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 man bash
[10:03] <sinope> Seveas: still doesn't work.
[10:04] <sinope> hmm, could it be my rxvt?
[10:04] <Seveas> maybe rxvt doesn't support unicode
[10:04] <sinope> nope, console doesn't work either
[10:04] <sinope> ah HA! but xterm does.
[10:04] <Seveas> :)
[10:04] <sinope> :P
[10:04] <sinope> so it's an rxvt setting
[10:04] <sinope> thanks dudes
[10:05] <sinope> ...and possibly dudettes
[10:05] <Seveas> good luck finding the setting
[10:05] <darkmark> \exit
[10:06] <HappyFool> that's /part to you
[10:09] <JDigital> I think hoary has sneakily changed my fonts on me
[10:10] <JDigital> I don't remember Bitstream Vera Sans being this narrow
[10:11] <chombee> Is there any way to find out the username without being able to login?
[10:11] <Gandalfar> chombee: no
[10:11] <alxwind> does anyone have experience with installing cracked Windows games under  Linux with cedega?
[10:12] <alxwind> i have a regfile that i usually import into windows registry in order to lunch the game, but i can't do it with cedega?
[10:12] <chombee> Gandaldar - and I suppose I can't login as root, or activate the root account either?
[10:12] <alxwind> any ideas?
[10:12] <dreaddydave> wrong forum
[10:12] <Gandalfar> chombee: root is disabled by default
[10:12] <HappyFool> chombee: you can boot in rescue mode
[10:12] <JDigital> does warty change the fonts or what
[10:12] <JDigital> er
[10:12] <JDigital> hoary
[10:12] <Zindar> alxwind: ubuntu is not about pirate software.. try someplace else.....
[10:13] <eruin> alxwind, buy the game
[10:13] <JDigital> I'd ask on the forums but I've asked three questions there this year and got no successful response
[10:13] <alxwind> lol
[10:13] <JDigital> which game is it, out of interest
[10:13] <alxwind> never
[10:13] <chombee> HappyFool - how? Will this enable me to get the login name?
[10:13] <eruin> damnit, dbus keeps CRASHING
[10:13] <alxwind> that'smy credo
[10:13] <HappyFool> chombee: well, you can take a look at /etc/passwd (or just /home), so yes
[10:14] <chombee> HappyFool - great, thanks
[10:14] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> alxwind, how old are you ?
[10:14] <HappyFool> chombee: it'll also let you reset that user's password
[10:14] <alxwind> anyway, the question was not about pirate software, but importing regfile in cedega?
[10:14] <chombee> HappyFool - how to access this mode?
[10:14] <alxwind> does it make any difference for you? ;)
[10:14] <eruin> it was a question about pirate software :P
[10:14] <eruin> we don't condone it
[10:14] <alxwind> no, it wasn't
[10:14] <HappyFool> chombee: reboot, press 'ESC' when prompted (very early in the boot process)
[10:14] <Gandalfar> alxwind: use #cedega, it's commercial sw anyway, use their tech support
[10:14] <eruin> "installing cracked windows games" ?
[10:14] <eruin> :P
[10:15] <JDigital> the question was about "cracked" software, that makes it sound like piracy
[10:15] <HappyFool> chombee: you should get a boot menu. select 'rescue mode'
[10:15] <nJess> heh
[10:15] <chombee> HappyFool - recovery mode, thanks
[10:15] <nJess> im running some weird hybrid of KDE and gnome
[10:15] <JDigital> man, either I'm paranoid or someone's changed all the fonts
[10:15] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> alxwind, you won't get an answer for that type of question in an open source community
[10:15] <HappyFool> chombee: err, or that ;)
[10:15] <alxwind> in my case that was nocd patch but not stealing smth, see the difference?
[10:15] <chombee> JDigital - did you just upgrade or something?
[10:15] <nJess> half my icons are gnome icons, the other half are KDE icond
[10:15] <nJess> icons*
[10:16] <eruin> anyone else experiencing stuff like this in hoary? : http://pastebin.com/300569
[10:16] <nJess> its weird
[10:16] <terry> found it...visudo - add user
[10:16] <JDigital> yes
[10:16] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> cedega doesn't take imports of windows based regfiles
[10:16] <zwart> i can't find azureus in the repositories, am i blind? or is it just not there anymnore...
[10:16] <JDigital> warty -> hoaryt
[10:16] <JDigital> *hoary
[10:16] <JDigital> I've been putting it off
[10:16] <eruin> alxwind, if you have lost your cd, mail the company and get a new one
[10:17] <eruin> most distributors do that free of charge
[10:17] <chombee> JDigital - it could be that your font anti-aliasing etc settings have changed during the upgrade
[10:17] <eruin> that is, if you have a valid key
[10:17] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> all you need is your legal serial #
[10:17] <JDigital> Nah, I tried fiddling with those, the xchat font looks different
[10:17] <JDigital> maybe it changed the font to the default one when it upgraded
[10:18] <zwart> is there any multiple-torrent clients for ubuntu like azureus? i hate having to have a seperate window for each file
[10:18] <chombee> JDigital - I don't think that's normal. Did you have XChat set to a non-default font?
[10:18] <JDigital> It might have, I can't remember.
[10:18] <nalioth> zwart: check sourceforge.net
[10:18] <chombee> zwart - you ca apt-get azureus
[10:18] <JDigital> firefox's fonts look different too
[10:19] <JDigital> although that might just be because of the version
[10:19] <JDigital> I dunno.
[10:19] <dgtl> anyone know where to change the background color that appears when you're logging in?
[10:19] <nalioth_wrkn> zwart: there are dozens of torrent clients there
[10:19] <metzen> is it possible to hide the handle grips on the side of a panel, when the panel is put into "non expanded" mode
[10:19] <metzen> i would like to have a transparent background on the panel, without the side grips which are white-grey and opaque from my gtk theme
[10:19] <chombee> zwart - google for the Ubuntu Hoaru 5.04 Starter guide, azureus is in there
[10:19] <zwart> "E: Couldn't find package azureus"
[10:19] <metzen> im refering to the gnome desktop panels
[10:20] <zwart> i have universe multiverse and marillat added, but the only torrent clients that show up are the standard one, bit tornado, and a couple for kde
[10:20] <Majlo> zwart, You must add backport repository
[10:20] <ced__> I have a question...I installed the hoary livecd for am64 (md5 hashes are the same)...everything loads up fine but I can't access the internet correctly
[10:21] <chombee> zwart - azureus is probably in a non-default package repository, instructions are in the Starters Guide
[10:21] <zwart> ahh
[10:21] <zwart> ok thanks
[10:21] <ced__> DHCP assigns ip addresses correctly and whatnot
[10:21] <Majlo> zwart, http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
[10:21] <ced__> I can connect to an irc server, but the only website that works for me is google.com for some reason
[10:21] <synd> zwart: ubuntuguide.org tells you how to get azureus
[10:22] <chombee> Okay - can anyone help me with a wireless configuration? I suspect I may need to dl and compile a driver (which means I'm screwed) but lets find out for sure...
[10:22] <DanielC> Hello, where could I go to better understand the meaning of the word "Ubuntu" ?
[10:22] <chombee> iwconfig detects the card as wlan0
[10:22] <synd> chombee: what brand/model is it
[10:22] <chombee> but it evidently is not configured as I can't ping google
[10:22] <chombee> synd - D-Link DWL-650+
[10:23] <synd> ah, i have a dlink dwl
[10:23] <abarbaccia> hey, anybody here use lirc?  i'm having trouble starting the daemon at bootup because i deleted its startup script
[10:23] <chombee> synd - was it supported or did you need a driver?
[10:24] <jhave> Hi
[10:24] <jhave> how do i enable framebuffer ?
[10:24] <JDigital> DanielC: "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
[10:24] <zukalk> daniel, a good startpoint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu
[10:24] <StellarPrince> whats the big deal with ubuntu?
[10:24] <eruin> DanielC, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu
[10:24] <synd> chombee: i had to use the driver + ndiswrapper
[10:25] <StellarPrince> i didnt see nothing special
[10:25] <StellarPrince> synd what kernel do u have?
[10:25] <chombee> synd - bad news for me
[10:25] <eruin> too bad StellarPrince
[10:25] <DanielC> zukalk, eruin: Thanks. :-)
[10:25] <synd> StellarPrince: what?
[10:25] <StellarPrince> eruin i have slckware
[10:25] <StellarPrince> and has more things
[10:25] <synd> StellarPrince: then stick with slackware
[10:25] <StellarPrince> than ubuntu
[10:25] <StellarPrince> so i dont understand
[10:25] <tiglionabbit> I put in my exact printer model and it fails the test page
[10:25] <tiglionabbit> what should I do?
[10:25] <eruin> StellarPrince, good for you
[10:25] <StellarPrince> no...
[10:25] <StellarPrince> that's not the point
[10:26] <StellarPrince> i just wanna
[10:26] <synd> StellarPrince: distrowatch.com
[10:26] <StellarPrince> know
[10:26] <StellarPrince> why ubuntu is so powerful
[10:26] <tiglionabbit> =[
[10:26] <synd> StellarPrince: ease of use
[10:26] <Razor-X> tiglionabbit: what model?
[10:26] <synd> is what it boils down to
[10:26] <Hablandocontigo> I _need_ to encode a wav file to 64kbps wma and rm files, how can I do that?
[10:26] <eruin> StellarPrince, because it's desktop-oriented and aims for everything to 'just work'
[10:26] <eruin> like a desktop distro should
[10:26] <tiglionabbit> HP Deskjet 920c.  It worked perfectly with hoary unstable array 4
[10:26] <Razor-X> StellarPrince: packing quite a few useful things in a CD, easy to configure, great package manager, etc.
[10:26] <StellarPrince> ohh i'm seeing
[10:26] <synd> chombee: not really
[10:26] <Razor-X> it's Debian, and it does everything that Debian did wrong, right
[10:27] <synd> chombee: its really easy
[10:27] <StellarPrince> so i agree it's very useful
[10:27] <synd> so whats your problem, StellarPrince ?
[10:27] <StellarPrince> synd i cant install ndiswrapper under kernel 2.6.11
[10:27] <StellarPrince> .X
[10:27] <rancorus> hey, i have problems using my hp printer on linux.
[10:27] <synd> StellarPrince: you are chombee ?
[10:28] <chombee> synd - I cannot get ndiswrapper onto the laptop, and I can't get the compilers or kernel source either
[10:28] <StellarPrince> chombee? (just a sec for i check in the dicionary :x)
[10:28] <chombee> synd - no he isn't
[10:28] <StellarPrince> ahh
[10:28] <StellarPrince> :X
[10:28] <zukalk> lol
[10:28] <Razor-X> tiglionabbit: it should be natively included in CUPS 1.1x and above
[10:28] <synd> chombee: are you using hoary?
[10:28] <chombee> synd - yes
[10:28] <StellarPrince> synd i'm not chombee lol
[10:28] <synd> StellarPrince: thanks
[10:29] <synd> chombee: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[10:29] <Guimauve2> I have a question about apache2 : in which config file can I define the default web pages directory (DocumentRoot directive)?
[10:29] <chombee> synd - because the wireless card is not configured I can't apt-get anything, and I have only a server install running. Nice, no?
[10:29] <krebs> mm someone knows about why my totem didn't sounds but just video, when xmms works perfectly and I downloaded kino kodec pack?
[10:30] <synd> chombee: can you not hardwire connect it?
[10:30] <tiglionabbit> =[  darn it things aren't printing right at all
[10:30] <synd> chombee: thats what i had to do
[10:30] <chombee> synd - but it seems to have detected the wireless interface, so I wasn going to try to configure it myself
[10:30] <StellarPrince> synd -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=321274
[10:30] <StellarPrince> i'm krayhze
[10:30] <chombee> synd - hardwire? the ethernet card in this thing is broken
[10:31] <synd> chombee: i see
[10:31] <osity> anyone have software raid experience with raid?
[10:31] <synd> chombee: well if its being detected, ten i dont know what to tell you
[10:31] <tiglionabbit> the test page comes out as several lines.  Other things put some gibberish on the top line and a few elipses on the page
[10:31] <osity> raid 1
[10:31] <synd> then
[10:31] <chombee> synd - it's detected, but it's like it's not activated
[10:31] <Razor-X> tiglioabbit: you used CUPS setup, then?
[10:31] <rancorus> hey, i have problems using my hp printer on linux.
[10:31] <Guimauve2> I have a question about apache2 : in which config file can I define the default web pages directory (DocumentRoot directive)?
[10:31] <Razor-X> rancorus: what's the problem?
[10:32] <synd> chombee: is the ethernet and dial up modem deactivated
[10:32] <StellarPrince> synd can u help me?
[10:32] <synd> StellarPrince: no im not familiar with slack
[10:32] <chombee> synd - I think the ethernet is simply broken, nothing in ifconfig, and I don't think it even has dialup, anyway we couldn't use it if it did
[10:32] <StellarPrince> humm ok
[10:32] <rancorus> razor-x, i cannot get it to print something even if it the driver is installed
[10:32] <StellarPrince> but the problem isnt the slack i think
[10:33] <Stephen> Guimauve2 - /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[10:33] <chombee> Anyone know how to use iwconfig?
[10:33] <krebs> mm someone knows about why my totem didn't sounds but just video, when xmms works perfectly and I downloaded kino kodec pack?
[10:33] <synd> chombee: no, go into System > Prefs > Networking
[10:33] <tiglionabbit> Razor-X: I used system->admin->printers, and selected New Printer
[10:33] <chombee> synd - server install only, stuck at command line, sorry!
[10:33] <synd> chombee: oh jeeze
[10:33] <tiglionabbit> it's using the hpijs driver
[10:34] <synd> chombee: no idea
[10:34] <rancorus> tiglionabbit: It is connected with usb cable, could that be the problem
[10:34] <chombee> synd - thanks anyway
[10:34] <synd> no problem
[10:35] <IcemanV9> krebs: you might want to select a different sound system, i think
[10:35] <Chetic> How do I get a list of my /dev/hd's? (and possible a list of what type of partition and size they are)
[10:35] <krebs> tnx
[10:35] <IcemanV9> Chetic: df -h
[10:35] <HappyFool> sudo fdisk -l
[10:35] <Chetic> thanks IcemanV9
[10:35] <Chetic> oh thanks HappyFool too :p
[10:36] <chombee> synd - do you think I could build the driver for the card in this laptop then transfer it over to the other and it would work?
[10:36] <tiglionabbit> rancorus: I know it's usb.  How is that a problem?  It worked with hoary unstable..
[10:36] <Hablandocontigo> I _need_ to encode a wav file to 64kbps wma and rm files, how can I do that?
[10:36] <tiglionabbit> something tells me I should just restart and see if it's detected..  bleh, my windows instincts
[10:37] <synd> chombee: perhaps
[10:37] <IcemanV9> Chetic: both commands will do trick depending on how much info u want :)
[10:37] <osity> noone has raid experience?
[10:37] <rancorus> tiglionabbit: mine works sporadically and i don't know why
[10:37] <neighborlee> I can't run synaptic from gnome menu ( works in console) as I get this error: unable to copy users xauthorization file ?
[10:37] <synd> chombee: but thats beyond my level
[10:37] <chombee> synd - didn't you know how to use ndiswrapper?
[10:37] <tiglionabbit> alright, I'm gonna restart, brb
[10:38] <bkinman> qt3's designer looks all see through and messed up on my system , anyone know why?
[10:38] <JDigital> Yes, the fonts have most 100% definitely changed in upgrading to Hoary.
[10:38] <r0d> whats a good backup plan for a desktop system? what files should I backup?
[10:38] <JDigital> anything not easily replaceable
[10:38] <synd> chombee: yup
[10:38] <chombee> synd - what does that involve?
[10:39] <r0d> so then just data, because everything else can be replaced easy. maybe the /etc file then i guess
[10:39] <synd> chombee: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[10:39] <JDigital> Oh, smashing! Upgrading to hoary has broken mplayer!
[10:39] <HappyFool> r0d: you'll probably want to backup /home/r0d/  (or whatever your home dir is)
[10:40] <JDigital> and broken sound. hmm...
[10:40] <hajiki> anyone know how to fix this? No package 'mozilla-plugin' found
[10:40] <hajiki> configure: error: Unable to find gecko sdk
[10:40] <hajiki> i already installed mozilla-firefox-dev
[10:41] <bpfick>  Has anyone dual booted on a Mac?
[10:41] <jhave> somebody there can help whit framebuffer ?
[10:42] <HappyFool> hajiki: maybe you need mozilla-dev as well? (just guessing)
[10:42] <hajiki> i would hope not could that would also install the mozilla suite :(
[10:43] <hajiki> s/could/because
[10:44] <ghostless> I'm having trouble playing DivX movies...Is there a tutorial somewhere?
[10:44] <tiglionabbit> okay.  I restarted and it works perfectly.  This is not supposed to happen.
[10:44] <tiglionabbit> oh well
[10:44] <tiglionabbit> it works
[10:44] <tiglionabbit> ghostless:
[10:45] <ghostless> ?
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> !restricted
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> ...  wha?  where's the bot?
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> !restricted
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> okay I'll type it out.
[10:45] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:45] <tiglionabbit> oh, there ubotu is
[10:45] <ghostless> I went there
[10:45] <ghostless> it didn't help
[10:46] <Chetic> How do I mount an ntfs partition so regular users can browse through it and use the files? (I don't understand man mount, to be honest)
[10:46] <jaggi> where's the rc.local type file
[10:46] <HappyFool> jaggi: try /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[10:46] <jaggi> I know the rc#.d and init.d dirs..
[10:46] <jaggi> thanks
[10:46] <ghostless> tiglionabbit: I went there and it didn't help
[10:47] <HappyFool> Chetic: you need an option umask=000 (or umask=222) -- so mount -t ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/hdaX /media/windows
[10:47] <ghostless> tiglionabbit: I installed MPlayer....and I installed a package call libdivx4linux
[10:47] <chombee> If I plug in a supported external wireless card, should it just work straight away?
[10:48] <tiglionabbit> urf, I can't answer these questions..
[10:48] <HappyFool> hrm. what happened to the wiki? it looks all shiny
[10:48] <ghostless> yea it does
[10:48] <ghostless> it's now Moin-based
[10:49] <HappyFool> ghostless: i installed the w32codecs package -- i think that's what lets me watch divx
[10:49] <tiglionabbit> shiny?  Didn't it always look like that?
[10:49] <zwart> ghostless: install gstreamer-ffmpeg and use totem
[10:50] <Chetic> wow HappyFool, now I've learned that for life.. heh, thanks
[10:50] <HappyFool> ghostless: if it helps, i have version "1:20050412-0.0"  (according to dpkg -p) -- got it from marillat a while back
[10:50] <JDigital> Hey guys! How do I add the extra repositories? like, the repository that has 'smeg'?
[10:50] <ghostless> HappyFool: I have that and it didn't do divx
[10:50] <zwart> i think the wiki looks better now
[10:50] <HappyFool> Chetic: cool. just learnt about it yesterday
[10:51] <ghostless> zwart: ok I'll try that
[10:51] <JDigital> because the way ubuntuguide describes it doesn't match my file
[10:51] <tiglionabbit> JDigital: you can either check them in synaptic's repositories section, or uncomment them or add them to /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:51] <djs> What was the wiki engine prior to moin?
[10:51] <JDigital> which ones do I have to check
[10:51] <chombee> JDigital - go to the Ubuntu Starters Guide, open the example sources.list it has, delete the entire contents of your sources.list and paste the contents of the example into it, open synaptic and reload package lists
[10:52] <JDigital> oh, the entire sources.list?
[10:52] <chombee> JDigital - their example will give you a pretty good set of repositories, voer 16,000 pkg's, though I don't think it's everything. Anyway yes do that. Make a backup copy of sources.list first
[10:53] <Chetic> the music player that comes with ubuntu (hoary) can't play MP3 files because it's missing a plugin.. what do I do about that?
[10:53] <tiglionabbit> !restricted
[10:53] <ubotu> restricted is probably http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[10:53] <zyth> Chetic, install gstreamer0.8-mad
[10:53] <zyth> oh hey cool, I didn't know that could be done
[10:53] <zyth> !nvidia
[10:53] <ubotu> methinks nvidia is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:53] <zyth> neat :D
[10:53] <chombee> Chetic - you can install xmms or beep-media-player, or if you install gstreamer0.8-mad that it the plugin the Music player needs
[10:53] <heimdall> Hi everybody
[10:53] <Chetic> ah zyth and chombee, thanks
[10:53] <JDigital> yeah, that gave a bunch of errors when I started synaptic
[10:54] <chombee> JDigital - you did what I said? Okay now press reload in synaptic
[10:54] <JDigital> reloading already
[10:54] <JDigital> though it gave a bunch of "oops, couldn't find a bunch of stuff" errors upon startup
[10:54] <chombee> JDigital - let me know if reloading succeeds without errors
[10:54] <JDigital> it does
[10:54] <chombee> JDigital - I think those errors will happen, until you reload the lists
[10:55] <JDigital> aha.
[10:55] <JDigital> good good, it works now.
[10:55] <heimdall> can I ask a question, I have a little problem with my ubuntu
[10:55] <heimdall> ?
[10:55] <chombee> JDigital - okay so it reloads  successfully? Now install whatever you want, you should have just about everything
[10:55] <JDigital> Now, when I mark "all upgrades", I get an error saying that a ton of stuff isn't authenticated.
[10:56] <heimdall> I have a laptop, the installation seems to be successful but when I enter my login/pwd, I have a brown screen and a sound which is repeating himself
[10:56] <chombee> JDigital - this is probably okay
[10:56] <heimdall> I thnk the problem is maybe my sis630 chipset ?
[10:57] <Fabian> pfp, are you here?
[10:57] <Fabian> hi everybody, ever screwed your partition table? :D
[10:57] <JDigital> hehe
[10:57] <JDigital> what a great way to start a conversation
[10:57] <concept10> what do you guys use for email? evolution or thunderbird?
[10:57] <pfp> Fabian: ye, still here
[10:57] <Fabian> JDigital, I don't feel like laughing! :D
[10:57] <Fabian> lol, still?
[10:57] <chombee> concept10 - evolutoin is much better than thunderbird
[10:57] <heimdall> is there someone who can help me ? I'm lost..
[10:58] <pfp> Fabian: umm, make that again
[10:58] <Fabian> pfp, make what again?
[10:58] <concept10> chombee, yeah, i feel that way also but evolution has been giving me problems since I switched to ubuntu
[10:58] <IFRFLYR> Hey, anyone have any ndiswrapper experience? Am I supposed to use the WHOLE linksys driver package, all 7.6MBs of it?
[10:58] <JDigital> This is baffling, it wants to install firefox. I have firefox.
[10:58] <chombee> concept10 - what kind of problems?
[10:58] <pfp> i mean, i slept for some hours, so again, not still :P
[10:59] <Fabian> ah, now I understand
[10:59] <Fabian> time for a privat chat?
[10:59] <neighborlee> synaptic wont work from gnome menu ( it works in console though ) as I get this error: unable to copy users xauthorization file , and wondering if anyone knows what might be wrong ?? ;-)
[10:59] <pfp> Fabian: yeah
[10:59] <chombee> JDigital - are you sure it isn't upgrading firefox?
[10:59] <JDigital> It has three categories: NOT AUTHENTICATED, To be upgraded, and To be installed
[10:59] <heimdall> is there someone who can help me with my problem on my laptop and my ubuntu ?
[10:59] <VRH> how i can insert a new predefined document in create new document when i do right click inthe desktop?
[11:00] <JDigital> To be installed is "firefox", "firefox-gnome-support" and some other stuff
[11:00] <fabio> hi all
[11:00] <concept10> chombee, cannot send outgoing mail with gmail
[11:01] <chombee> VRH - I think it might have something to do with nautilus templates, when you right click on a window bar and get the nautilus menu
[11:01] <JDigital> what does it mean when a package version number ends in "ubp2"?
[11:02] <chombee> concept10 - ah, gmail. Gmail is funny to configure. Why not just send email with you local sendmail process instead?
[11:02] <concept10> chombee, couldnt figure that one out.  I had gmail working with Evolution grabbing mail for three accounts.
[11:03] <jaggi> bbl
[11:03] <JDigital> oh, backports.
[11:03] <JDigital> Do I want backports?
[11:03] <concept10> chombee, it must be something with gmail because i cant get it working with thunderbird either.  I have to check my settings
[11:04] <chombee> concept10 - in my evolution mail accounts, for sending mail, I set the Server Type to the Sendmail option. I think it's there by default. Use gmail for receiving mail as you are, but not for sending
[11:04] <HappyFool> JDigital: that is the ubuntuguide procedure, and is one way to get stuff outside ubuntu's repo. some of the gurus here don't like it, though *shrug*
[11:04] <chombee> concept10 - if I remember, gmails smtp server is a little funny to configure.
[11:04] <VRH> chombee, thx, i have resolved. you hace to create a directory in your home that call "Templates" and inside it you have to create a new Document
[11:04] <msg431> hello
[11:04] <msg431> I am using ndiswrapper
[11:05] <msg431> the network config tool doesn't work very well
[11:05] <msg431> I would like to write a script were would I call it to boot up from
[11:05] <chombee> VRH - and then that document appears in the Create Document menu? Is it just named by the filename? Neat
[11:05] <Chetic> is there no package for zsnes?
[11:05] <chombee> Chetic - I don't think so, but zsnes is easy enought to get working if you just download it
[11:06] <VRH> chombee, yes
[11:06] <JDigital> All I know is that I used to be able to play MP3s in xmms, and now that I've upgraded to Hoary, I can't.
[11:06] <HappyFool> Chetic: zsnes is in multiverse
[11:06] <microhaxo> Guys i get this error when trying to play AMERICAS ARMY Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:06] <microhaxo> is there a quick fix?
[11:06] <VRH> chombee, for example you create a new document called New Document of text.txt
[11:06] <VRH> and it appears
[11:06] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> microhaxo, is 2.4 out for linux ?
[11:06] <microhaxo> np
[11:07] <microhaxo> no
[11:07] <microhaxo> 2.3
[11:07] <microhaxo> i cant get it to work
[11:07] <microhaxo> lol
[11:07] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> ahhh ok
[11:07] <microhaxo> get this error, sounds like a quick fix?
[11:07] <microhaxo> Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:07] <Pop_pa_FrEaK> I play it myself
[11:07] <Chetic> HappyFool, what's the name?
[11:07] <HappyFool> Chetic: zsnes
[11:07] <Chetic> chombee, yeah I just didn't feel like setting stuff up for compile
[11:07] <Chetic> HappyFool, can't be found.. and I've added all those sources
[11:07] <chombee> Chetic - well, turns out it's there in one of the repositories anyway
[11:08] <msg431> anyone can you help me
[11:08] <HappyFool> apt-cache policy zsneszsnes: #=> 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary/multiverse Packages
[11:08] <HappyFool> oops
[11:08] <chombee> chetic - I can see the zsnes package
[11:08] <Chetic> chombee, where? :/
[11:08] <HappyFool> just zsnes, not whatever that said
[11:08] <Chetic> damn..
[11:08] <dabi> is there any way i can see my battery status in acer aspire 1410? i dont hace nothing on /proc/acpi/battery
[11:09] <HappyFool> Chetic: you probably don't have multiverse
[11:09] <chombee> chetic - Cross Platform (multiverse)
[11:09] <JDigital> Do I have any choice other than using the backports repositories, if I actually want MP3 support back?
[11:09] <HappyFool> Chetic: don't confuse multiverse with universe
[11:09] <HappyFool> JDigital: for MP3 playback, you don't need backports
[11:09] <HappyFool> JDigital: for video codecs, i'm not sure
[11:09] <JDigital> What do I need
[11:09] <JDigital> xmms isn't playing it, and mplayer can't get any sound when playing video
[11:09] <HappyFool> JDigital: universe / main (standard ubutun repositories) as far as i can tell
[11:09] <zwart> is there a way i can exlude drives from backing up stuff i delete in the .Trash directories? everytime i try to remove stuff from my mp3 player i have to do it twice
[11:09] <Chetic> HappyFool, I always have them all available..
[11:10] <bkinman> What does this mean? Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
[11:10] <tiglionabbit> grr.  Um, I'm trying to print something from firefox but all I get is a bit of garblage and some elipses
[11:10] <HappyFool> JDigital: you can just remove the 'backports' lines in /etc/apt/sources.list by commenting them out (put a '#' at the beginning of the line)
[11:10] <HappyFool> JDigital: then install gstreamer0.8-mad
[11:11] <HappyFool> JDigital: i think there might be another issue with xmms re the sound daemon (esd)
[11:11] <heimdall> can someone help me ? I have problems with my ubuntu, brown screen typing my login/pwd, I can't do anything
[11:11] <HappyFool> JDigital: that's not mp3 related, afaik, but a general sound thing
[11:11] <JDigital> ah
[11:12] <HappyFool> Chetic: how about putting your /etc/apt/sources.list up here: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl ?
[11:12] <Chetic> yeah HappyFool I'll do that..
[11:12] <JDigital> HappyFool: I have gstreamer0.8-mad
[11:13] <HappyFool> JDigital: ok, then at least 'Music Player' (aka RhythmBox) should play mp3s
[11:13] <JDigital> I want to use xmms
[11:13] <Chetic> HappyFool, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/99
[11:13] <Hablandocontigo>  I _need_ to encode a wav file to 64kbps wma and rm files, how can I do that?
[11:14] <HappyFool> JDigital: yeah, but we can at least test with that first ;)
[11:14] <JDigital> oh true
[11:14] <dabi> is there any way to see my battery status? i have nothing on /proc/acpi/battery
[11:14] <JDigital> oh cool, Music Player has a slot for my iPod
[11:14] <JDigital> now all I need to do is to buy an iPod
[11:14] <JDigital> :)
[11:14] <zyth> JDigital, I have a Zen Xtra, and it doesn't seem to like it.
[11:15] <zyth> I'm stuck with Gnomad 2 :(
[11:15] <zwart> i wonder if it would work w my rio cali
[11:15] <JDigital> I have an MP3 player that holds 16MB
[11:15] <HappyFool> Chetic: hmm
[11:15] <zwart> lol
[11:15] <JDigital> it only works with a specific software that only runs on Windows 98
[11:15] <zyth> I want to get rid of the Zen Xtra.. it's 30gb of Non-Ogg compatibility.
[11:16] <JDigital> aha
[11:16] <JDigital> Music Player is playing my Music
[11:16] <J0el> whats a good app that would display my cpu temperature and freq.
[11:16] <JDigital> and eating 80% CPU to do it :)
[11:16] <HappyFool> JDigital: ok, so we just need to figure out what the plugin for xmms is
[11:17] <JDigital> so I wonder what's stopping xmms from playing mp3, and mplayer from playing my animes
[11:17] <zyth> xmms won't play mp3?
[11:17] <zyth> weird.
[11:17] <zyth> mine does
[11:17] <Chetic> lol mine too
[11:17] <JDigital> mine did until I upgraded to hoary
[11:17] <Seveas> JDigital, did you change the xmms output plugin to Esound?
[11:17] <JDigital> now it just hangs when I hit play
[11:17] <Chetic> HappyFool, well?
[11:17] <nalioth_wrkn> JDigital: have you seen the ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats   ? if so, that is weird
[11:17] <Seveas> JDigital, yeah,, that's the esound problem :)(
[11:17] <zyth> I use ALSA
[11:18] <zyth> it works happily
[11:18] <Seveas> JDigital, very easy to fix iin the xmms prefs
[11:18] <JDigital> time for me to alsa on up then it seems
[11:18] <Seveas> JDigital, no, use esound
[11:18] <HappyFool> JDigital: you might need xmms-mad -- but i'm not sure. there is the whole esd thing too, not sure how to tweak that
[11:18] <Seveas> that's what hoary uses by default
[11:18] <HappyFool> Chetic: it certainly looks like you have multiverse
[11:18] <JDigital> My xmms is using the OSS Driver
[11:19] <Chetic> HappyFool, how do I search with apt-get?
[11:19] <zyth> OSS is depreciated ;)
[11:19] <Seveas> JDigital, that cannot work on oary :)
[11:19] <HappyFool> Chetic: apt-cache search
[11:19] <JDigital> OSS Driver 1.2.10 libOSS.so
[11:19] <JDigital> aha
[11:19] <Seveas> JDigital, let it use Esound/esd
[11:19] <JDigital> ok
[11:19] <HappyFool> Chetic: have you run 'sudo apt-get update' ?
[11:19] <Chetic> yeah HappyFool
[11:19] <JDigital> good, now it works
[11:19] <HappyFool> Chetic: what does 'apt-cache show zsnes' say ?
[11:20] <Chetic> HappyFool, nothing
[11:20] <JDigital> I wonder how advanced UAE has gotten
[11:20] <JDigital> WinUAE is pretty good at what it does but the linux version I used was crappy
[11:20] <HappyFool> Chetic: i.e., or 'W:  Unable to locate package'
[11:20] <zyth> run WinUAE in Wine ;)
[11:20] <JDigital> heheh
[11:20] <paxon> Seveas, what's a good recent Linux book to read. (I have running Linux, Oreilly).
[11:20] <Seveas> paxon, no idea :)
[11:20] <Chetic> root@ubuntu:/ # apt-cache show zsnes
[11:20] <Chetic> root@ubuntu:/ #
[11:20] <HappyFool> eek
[11:21] <Chetic> I'll say
[11:21] <JDigital> I remember an Amiga magazine once had an Amiga emulate a Mac emulating an Commodore 64, just to prove that it could be done. Another time I think they had a PC emulating an Amiga emulating a PC.
[11:21] <Seveas> paxon, there is going to be an Ubuntu book :)
[11:21] <paxon> When/where?
[11:21] <zyth> what the heck, FreePascal isn't in Synaptic!
[11:21] <zyth> EVIL
[11:22] <HappyFool> Chetic: i'm not really an apt guru -- i don't know what could be wrong
[11:22] <JDigital> I wonder if smeg is in a repository somewhere
[11:22] <zyth> JDigital, : backports
[11:22] <JDigital> ah
[11:22] <JDigital> Guilty Gear song titles are the best
[11:22] <paxon> I need me some good book. Reading from the screen is pain.
[11:22] <zyth> just make sure to remove backports once you install it, or your 'automatic updater' will tell you that you have 29 packages to 'upgrade' and it'll probably break stuff.
[11:23] <JDigital> haha
[11:23] <JDigital> yeah, I was wary of doing that
[11:23] <JDigital> it told me I had 54
[11:23] <zyth> I added it long enough to install Smeg, then removed backports
[11:23] <zyth> then did the upgrades
[11:23] <JDigital> if it's not broke, don't fix it
[11:23] <HappyFool> Chetic: it's a bit of a stretch, but does 'apt-get check' tell you anything about errors ?
[11:23] <zyth> JDigital, if there's security updates, it's broke.
[11:24] <HappyFool> Chetic: i don't think i can suggest much more than that
[11:24] <breezy> does anybody know how to convert a wmv to mpg on ubuntu?
[11:24] <JDigital> Hey, smeg wants to upgrade python-xdg.
[11:24] <zyth> JDigital, yep
[11:24] <JDigital> wonder what python-xdg is.
[11:25] <JDigital> oh well, here goes
[11:25] <msg431> How would I call a script at bootup?
[11:26] <Chetic> HappyFool, no errors there..
[11:26] <HappyFool> Chetic: sorry, i'm out of ideas. something is wrong, but i don't know what
[11:27] <Chetic> HappyFool, Everything works perfectly but that one package isn't there.. that's.. weird
[11:28] <HappyFool> Chetic: somewhat ;)
[11:28] <msg431> Can anyone see me
[11:28] <Seveas> Chetic, which package?
[11:28] <Seveas> msg431, no, you are completely invisible unfortunately...
[11:29] <zukalk> how does he do that?
[11:29] <msg431> Seveas, I'm wonder if anyone can help me
[11:29] <zukalk> :P
[11:29] <msg431> I know a bunch about linux but I'm new to ubuntu
[11:29] <Seveas> msg431, just ask your question then :)
[11:29] <Chetic> Seveas, zsnes
[11:29] <msg431> I want to know what file I should bring up a scritp if i want it to excute at boot
[11:30] <dabi> i cant see my battery status... /proc/acpi/battery doesnt exist.. anything i can do?
[11:30] <Seveas> msg431, at boot or when you login?
[11:30] <Seveas> Chetic, that's completely normal
[11:30] <Seveas> you are on amd64
[11:31] <Seveas> zsnes only comes for i386
[11:31] <Chetic> Seveas, ohh of course
[11:31] <Chetic> Can't it be compiled on amd64 or something?
[11:31] <HappyFool> chetic: doh
[11:32] <lsuactiafner> Chetic : what was the question?
[11:32] <HappyFool> still, why didn't apt-cache give an error?
[11:32] <Chetic> lsuactiafner, Now I just want to know if zsnes can be compiled on amd64
[11:32] <msg431> Seveas, at boot
[11:32] <Chetic> Whenever something says cache, I'm completely lost.. so don't ask me :p
[11:33] <breezy> anybody ever converted a wmv into something else on linux?
[11:33] <Seveas> Chetic, http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/z/zsnes/1.360-2/
[11:33] <lsuactiafner> breezy : all the time
[11:33] <breezy> lsuactiafner, with what?
[11:33] <Seveas> HappyFool, it's not apt-caches task to give an error there
[11:33] <Seveas> msg431, you have the script already?
[11:33] <msg431> Seveas, no but I know how to write it
[11:34] <djm62> transcode
[11:34] <lsuactiafner> breezy : man mencoder
[11:34] <microhaxo> guys how can i fix this error
[11:34] <lsuactiafner> then press end on the keyboard
[11:34] <microhaxo> Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:34] <HappyFool> Seveas: if i type in a nonsense name, i get an error msg *shrug*
[11:34] <Seveas> msg431, then put it somewhere in /etc/init.d/ and do sudo ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S99YOURNAME /etc/init.d/YOURNAME
[11:34] <biovore> "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0" <-- playing UT?
[11:35] <djm62> microhaxo: UT2k3?
[11:35] <microhaxo> Americas army
[11:35] <Seveas> where YOURNAME is the name of the script
[11:35] <biovore> yeah.. it just come up.. no clue what it is..
[11:35] <microhaxo> yea its pissin me off
[11:35] <JDigital> Oop, mplayer isn't doing too good. It stalls at this line:
[11:35] <JDigital> alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default
[11:35] <JDigital> just kinda stalls there
[11:35] <biovore> It's because the NVIDIA driver dosn't support something the software calls for..  but it ussulay dosn't kill the game..
[11:35] <Seveas> JDigital, edit /etc/mplayer.conf
[11:36] <Seveas> JDigital, edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
[11:36] <microhaxo> well
[11:36] <microhaxo> how the hell can i fix it?
[11:36] <konki> hi aLL... need some heLp here plze...
[11:36] <Seveas> make sure that ao=esd
[11:36] <biovore> bitch at a developer
[11:36] <Seveas> konki, read the topic: just ask
[11:36] <JDigital> ah, esd
[11:36] <konki> installing firefox on ubuntu/linux
[11:36] <lsuactiafner> am having trouble encoding things so windows can play it
[11:36] <Seveas> konki, DO NOT manually install it
[11:37] <lsuactiafner> anybody got a fool proof method thats compatable with windows?
[11:37] <Seveas> konki, the firefox version Ubuntu provides has all 1.0.4 security patches applied
[11:37] <Seveas> so you don't need to install it manuall
[11:37] <Seveas> y
[11:37] <konki> i'm new to linux.. it an whole new world to me
[11:37] <konki> i installed the OS yesterday...
[11:37] <Seveas> nice :)
[11:38] <philuk86> can anyone tell me how i can go about rebuilding an ubuntu package once I have downloaded the source using apt-get?
[11:38] <Seveas> konki, do you see the smale globe at the top of your screen?
[11:38] <Seveas> That's firefox :)
[11:38] <konki> so i don't need to install the 1.0.4 or upgrade it to 1.0.4 right??? seveas
[11:38] <konki> yes
[11:38] <Seveas> philuk86, apt-get -b source [packagename]
[11:39] <Chetic> Should I be worried of this?: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xlibmesa-glu-dev_6.8.2-10_amd64.deb   |  404 Not Found
[11:39] <Seveas> philuk86, or if you have the sources: simply type dpkg-buildpackage in the sourcedir (the dir tat contains a debian/ subdir)
[11:39] <microhaxo> its not there
[11:39] <microhaxo> they dont have x64 packages up yet
[11:39] <Seveas> Chetic, yes
[11:39] <Chetic> Seveas, Why do I get that?
[11:39] <philuk86> Seveas
[11:39] <Seveas> konki, you don't need to upgrade
[11:39] <konki> yes i see that Seveas
[11:40] <JDigital> hmm, the skipping forward and back seems more sluggish than it was
[11:40] <philuk86> Seveas: thanks mate
[11:40] <Seveas> Chetic, there's an error at the server, please send a mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:40] <JDigital> oh well
[11:40] <konki> ok... thanks... what about flash plugins and java script??
[11:40] <Seveas> konki, javascript is there by default, java and flash not, but look at:
[11:40] <Seveas> konki: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/RestrictedFormats
[11:40] <zwart> konki, if you want to install any extensions youll have to manually change your version number in about:config
[11:40] <Chetic> will do, Seveas
[11:41] <Seveas> Chetic, wait
[11:41] <x_or> Anyone here using a Netgear MA111 USB WiFi adaptor with Ubuntu?  I cannot get it configured.
[11:41] <Seveas> Chetic, do an apt-get update first
[11:41] <Seveas> and retry
[11:41] <konki> where is the :config??
[11:41] <Seveas> if there is still an error, send that e-mail :)
[11:41] <JDigital> Woot, I have e-mail.
[11:41] <levander> Anybody has got any of these "multimedia" keyboards to work with Linux?
[11:41] <zwart> just type about:config in the adressbar
[11:41] <Seveas> konki: Open firefox and in about:config set general.useragent.vendorSub to 1.0.4
[11:41] <JDigital> Why yes, I would like cheap v1agra!
[11:41] <x_or> Says "prism2_fwload: command not found"
[11:42] <zukalk> JDigital, you too, huh?
[11:42] <JDigital> You got it too? Man, I was hoping I was special.
[11:42] <zukalk> i get everyday
[11:42] <HappyFool> levander: i've got my volume and mute keys working
[11:42] <Seveas> JDigital, if you want cheap v1a g r a, I can forward you 1000 spam mails :)
[11:42] <zukalk> and valium, cialis, prozac.. spam is just amazing..
[11:42] <Chetic> Seveas, k.. didn't work
[11:42] <JDigital> I get a lot of e-mail lately from the tech support team at my e-mail address' web domain...
[11:43] <JDigital> ...which is funny, because I own the domain
[11:43] <Seveas> JDigital, lol
[11:43] <zukalk> lol
[11:43] <JDigital> I hope I'm not paying a lot for this tech support team
[11:43] <levander> HappyFool: anything special you had to do?  Just remember that from years ago, you had to have a specific driver for your specific keyboard if it did anything other than just the normal keys.
[11:43] <drasko_> hi all. do anyone know a good ascii art editor?
[11:43] <Seveas> same for me @kaarsemaker.net and @ubuntulinux.nl :)
[11:43] <Seveas> drasko_, try jave
[11:43] <Seveas> www.jave.de
[11:43] <konki> Seveas.... do i write :config set general.useragent.vendorSub to 1.0.4 in the address bar?
[11:43] <zyth> JDigital, Just run all those programs they send you :)
[11:43] <Seveas> (requires Java)
[11:43] <Seveas> konki, you write about:config in the addressbar
[11:43] <JDigital> I tried but they were Windows programs :(
[11:43] <levander> drasko_: emacs has a mode for that
[11:44] <zyth> JDigital, well, I'd complain! Cross-platform needs ought to be addressed in the spyware/adware/virus dept!
[11:44] <JDigital> I agree!
[11:44] <Seveas> levander, emacs leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering
[11:44] <HappyFool> levander: there was a step i don't remember, but i'm not sure how important it was; anyway, the main thing was system -> preferences -> shortcuts
[11:44] <JDigital> We should apply to put that in breezy
[11:44] <zyth> vi is happy.
[11:44] <hugos> Does anyone know how to replace a debian libc6 package with a ubuntu one?
[11:44] <levander> Seveas: so don't use it if your afraid of it
[11:44] <zyth> vim is happier.
[11:44] <Seveas> levander, I don't use it :)
[11:44] <lsuactiafner> i cant get transcode on apt.. but i got marillat, is it cuss i use amd64?
[11:45] <microhaxo> yo how can i fix this?
[11:45] <microhaxo> microhaxo@c-24-118-7-234:~$ fglrxinfo
[11:45] <microhaxo> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[11:45] <levander> Anybody got a Kensington Expert Mouse running under Linux? Just wondering if I'm going to be able to use the third and fourth buttons on that thing or not.

[11:48] <Seveas> microhaxo, no idea
[11:48] <zyth> coffee...pfft
[11:48] <biovore> looks like someone is using a ATI card.. :-(
[11:48] <Seveas> zyth, nothing like coffee strong as tar to survive a night of coding :)
[11:48] <microhaxo> yea
[11:48] <microhaxo> lol
[11:48] <zyth> Seveas, LOL okay, true :)
[11:48] <microhaxo> ATI
[11:48] <msg431> what the username and password for cups?
[11:49] <biovore> msg431: there isn't one..
[11:49] <Seveas> msg431, add the cupsys user to the wheel group
[11:49] <biovore> ^ do that..
[11:49] <Seveas> and use your own user/pass
[11:49] <biovore> :-)
[11:49] <plamen5rov> http://forum.about-hackers.com ???

[11:50] <microhaxo> can i fix this monitor deal
[11:50] <microhaxo> ?
[11:50] <plamen5rov> so long!
[11:50] <djm62> plamen5rov: ugh...the "hacker" myth is in severe need of popping
[11:50] <msg431> Seveas, there is no wheel group
[11:50] <Chetic> Depends: snes9x-x  but it is not installable <-why is it not installable?
[11:51] <Seveas> msg431, then i'm outdated again :|
[11:51] <Seveas> search the forum/wiki for an answer, there are answers to this question there
[11:52] <djm62> Chetic: what does apt-get install snes9x-x say?
[11:52] <Seveas> I never use CUPS, I always print via SSH to a printer at work :)
[11:52] <djm62> Chetic: I've used snes9x on ARM linux before, so it is portable
[11:52] <Fabian> re
[11:52] <Seveas> djm62, we already figured out that there is no zsnes for amd64 in Ubuntu :)
[11:52] <Chetic> djm62, Package snes9x-x is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source     E: Package snes9x-x has no installation candidate
[11:52] <Fabian> hi Seves
[11:52] <Fabian> pfp, back on track
[11:52] <Chetic> Seveas, this is snes9x
[11:53] <djm62> Seveas: znes!=snes9x
[11:53] <Seveas> Chetic, what you might try is this: apt-get -b zsnes
[11:53] <msg431> Seveas, I couldn't find anything
[11:53] <pfp> Fabian: did it work?
[11:53] <Fabian> pfp, Grub working fine
[11:53] <Seveas> Chetic, what you might try is this: apt-get -b source zsnes
[11:53] <Fabian> pfp, it's using the swap partition again now
[11:53] <pfp> Fabian: and the whole system boots?
[11:53] <Fabian> um, didn't try that!
[11:54] <Fabian> :D
[11:54] <pfp> Fabian: ah, you booted livecd, good :)
[11:54] <Fabian> yep
[11:54] <Chetic> Seveas, unable to find...
[11:54] <Fabian> pfp, so what now
[11:54] <pfp> Fabian: probably the rest works too, did you try to mount them?
[11:54] <Seveas> Chetic, do you have a deb-src list for universe?
[11:54] <Fabian> nope
[11:54] <Chetic> Seveas, yep
[11:54] <Fabian> I'll have a go
[11:54] <Fabian> ro?
[11:55] <pfp> better safe than sorry :)
[11:55] <djm62> Seveas: would packages.debian.org be an option to get source?
[11:55] <Fabian> pfp, I would not have made you responsible
[11:55] <Seveas> djm62, packages.ubuntu.com :)
[11:55] <Chetic> E: Package snes9x-x has no installation candidate <-what the heck is that about? If you have snes9x stuff, you'd naturally put up the actual application itself..
[11:55] <pfp> Fabian: i know, but still :)
[11:55] <djm62> Seveas: I'm presuming the lack of availability on ubuntu is the problem...
[11:55] <Seveas> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=zsnes&searchon=names&subword=1&version=hoary&release=all
[11:55] <Fabian> pfp, ro?
[11:56] <pfp> Fabian: yeah
[11:56] <Seveas> Chetic, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/otherosfs/zsnes
[11:56] <Seveas> dowload dsc, orig.tar.gz and diff.gz
[11:56] <Fabian> alright, mounted ext3 partition
[11:56] <Seveas> and try dpkg-buildpackage
[11:56] <pfp> cool cool
[11:57] <Fabian> pfp, privat again?
[11:57] <pfp> sure
[11:59] <zyth> huh mplayer just totally screwed the audio sync on video file
[11:59] <seth_k> Chetic, actually if you check the forums, I just backported zSNES 1.4.2 for Hoary
[11:59] <zyth> should I install totem-xine?
