[05:22] <joetheodd> aleksanteri: heh. It's funny how that happens all the time. :P
[05:22] <aleksanteri> joetheodd: ok it's an nVIDIA adapter then
[05:22] <ferronica> any one tell me how to set up virtual private network on ubuntu 7.04?
[05:22] <x2Fusion> Yeah, I've had that problem with vnc
[05:22] <the_undefined> pha|con: however I can't ping / send data to any public web server, any idea?
[05:22] <milluska> hi there  i just installed one application and i would like to know how to create a shortcut for it?
[05:22] <kgreen> it just dispalys the background
[05:22] <mylogic> jshow: Not familar with that internal video card, you may want to check to see if it's supported
[05:23] <joetheodd> kgreen: I think it's not loading it's own X session. Try running vncserver from an already running X session on the box itself, then connecting and see if that works.
[05:23] <milluska> how do i do that?
[05:23] <markvp> Anyone out there that can help with a wireless setup?  I'm very familiar with the networking enviroment.  Just can't get the network-manager in ubunutu to search for available networks.
[05:23] <jshow> mylogic: roger that
[05:23] <neverblue> joetheodd and dyrne how do I see what file system type this /dev/sda is?
[05:23] <frojnd> Bonzodog: cool
[05:23] <frojnd> I mean not coll :)
[05:23] <ramatieg> Is there a command to do multi-destination cp? That is, if I want to copy a file to two (or more) different locations
[05:23] <coverup> neverblue: fdisk -l ?
[05:23] <pha|con> neverblue: cfdisk /dev/sda
[05:23] <x2Fusion> Is there anyone free to help? That isn't already helping if there isn't I'll be happy to wait :)
[05:23] <auk100> on ubuntu-server, where are the startup scripts located?
[05:23] <joetheodd> eljak: Alright, thanks. I gotta run soon and my box is off so I can't try it now, but thanks.
[05:23] <mylogic> jshow: everything else looks good, ubuntu's automated installer shouldn't have any prblems
[05:24] <swanberg-UMN> FYI, got my java thing working. Thanks!
[05:24] <Music_Shuffle> !ask | x2Fusion
[05:24] <ubotu> x2Fusion: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:24] <mylogic> x2Fusion: what's your problem
[05:24] <neverblue> ouch
[05:24] <neverblue> my system didnt like cfdisk /dev/sda
[05:24] <x2Fusion> Okay, I wrote it in notepad so there is a big q
[05:24] <x2Fusion> I got this error when I did 'sudo ifdown wlan0' &/or 'sudo ifup wlan0'
[05:24] <x2Fusion> Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :

[05:24] <x2Fusion>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
[05:24] <x2Fusion> What I have in '/etc/network/interfaces' is the following
[05:24] <x2Fusion> auto wlan0
[05:24] <brinstar> i'm getting a " FATAL: Illegal card source line 'ipw2200,eth1' " and ive set this in the kismet.conf file -> source=ipw2200,eth1

[05:24] <x2Fusion> lol, okay.
[05:24] <neverblue> its not listed infdisk (maybe because its not mounted?)
[05:25] <coverup> I am trying to get a pcmcia USB 2.0 adaptor to handle devices reliably... anyone out there with related knowledge?
[05:25] <brinstar> is it missing anything?
[05:25] <markvp> Anyone out there that can help with a wireless setup?  I'm very familiar with the networking enviroment.  Just can't get the network-manager in ubunutu to search for available networks.
[05:25] <jshow> mylogic: is there a compat test I can run on the video card?
[05:25] <brinstar> anyone know anything about kismet?
[05:25] <pha|con> neverblue: cfdisk is just a fancier version of fdisk, but if fdisk should list whatever disks are there whether they are mounted or not
[05:25] <pha|con> neverblue: it is a harddrive, right?  not a cd/dvd rom?
[05:25] <mylogic> jshow: give me a second and I will look up if that card is supported
[05:25] <x2Fusion> Here is that pastebin
[05:25] <x2Fusion> oop
[05:25] <x2Fusion> http://pastebin.com/933417
[05:26] <courageousrobot> Anyone here have any experience using yafc?
[05:26] <neverblue> well, I have a /dev/sda and its not listing with fdisk
[05:26] <joetheodd> markvp: I'm not sure, not using one myself, but Wireless in Linux is very flakey. You'll probably have to get a hold of someone on the forum who "specializes" in it. Most people just use wired, but I can understand not wanting to do that on a laptop :P
[05:26] <neverblue> i added another HD into my system, which has 3 partitions
[05:26] <markvp> joetheodd:  Thanks, been fighting this for over a day.
[05:27] <wols> markvp: what wlan chip do you have?
[05:27] <markvp> joetheodd:  getting tired of going from forum to forum.  Even did a reinstall.
[05:27] <brinstar> it depends on the wlan card
[05:27] <pha|con> nevermore: neverb: i'm assuming it's a sata drive?
[05:27] <joetheodd> markvp: Yeah, not much I can help with, not being able to test anything myself. Google search for "ndiswrapper" if you haven't, though.
[05:27] <markvp> wols:  bcm94306
[05:27] <brinstar> intel support is good
[05:27] <neverblue> can I take this into a pm, just so I dont have 20 answers :)
[05:27] <x2Fusion> Ah, btw mines a Belkin USB Adapter
[05:27] <joetheodd> markvp: Ubuntu forums should be your one-stop for this, hopefully.
[05:28] <wols> markvp: ndiswrapper I guess
[05:28] <markvp> joethodd:  that is what I thought to.
[05:28] <milluska> does anyone knows where can i get the firmware for bcm43xx?
[05:28] <nevermore> pha|con- what?  I've gotta head to work. Have a great day and don't kill anyone with the awesome penguin power. \m/
[05:28] <markvp> wols:  let me check, just did a reinstall to get a clean start.
[05:28] <wols> markvp: or is that a bcm4306? that exists too
[05:28] <milluska> i can't get my wireless to work but the distro can't find my wireless drivers
[05:28] <aleksanteri> bye joetheodd
[05:29] <aleksanteri> and thanks :)
[05:29] <pha|con> nevermore: sorry, wrong person :)
[05:29] <coverup> Anyone know about pcmcia cards / linux or am I better off on the forums? :)
[05:29] <x2Fusion> milluska: Try using ndiswrapper and find the windows version drivers for your card.
[05:29] <nevermore> pha|con: oh, okay
[05:29] <kgreen> how do i start the gnome user interface from commandline?
[05:29] <wols> milluska: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=fwcutter&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all  Use that to extract the firmware from your windows driver for the card
[05:30] <x2Fusion> Search for the wiki on ndiswrapper for more info on that.
[05:30] <markvp> wols:  when I do a lsmod I get bcm43xx
[05:30] <neverblue> pha|con, its not an SATA drive, ubuntu usually recognizes drives as /dev/sda*
[05:30] <wols> kgreen: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:30] <milluska> thx
[05:30] <wols> markvp: cool. so you already got it.
[05:30] <neverblue> even though they are not a Serial ATA drive, but an ATA drive
[05:30] <pha|con> neverblue: if it's not a SATA drive then it's probably an IDE drive which means it would be /dev/hda
[05:30] <ochosi> hi, i have a 120gb ext hdd from western digital, usb is also power supply. whenever i unmount and then unplug it it makes some strange stopping noise like in the current kernel bug for some laptop-hdds. anyone got an idea what this is or what to do about it?
[05:30] <wols> markvp: but lsmod is not the thing to check. lspci
[05:30] <x2Fusion> kgreen: You can use the command 'startx'
[05:30] <mylogic> jshow: looks like you're in the clear, it's supported just fine
[05:31] <kgreen> thanks
[05:31] <wols> neverblue: no. it depends on kernel. there are some (older) kernels with sata drivers that use hda. few tho
[05:31] <markvp> wols:  That does show the Broadcom BCM4306
[05:31] <pha|con> neverblue: generally linux will give sda to SCSI/SATA/USB drives
[05:31] <jshow> mylogic! thanx a bunch. where did you verify?
[05:31] <ghostt_user_2> if my lspci tells me this "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64)" about  my video  (on a dell  inspiron 3800 laptop)  do I  use the  "ati" driver or  this  "xorg-driver-fglrx"?
[05:31] <neverblue> thats besides the point really
[05:31] <Ind[y] > The Keyring Manager keeps asking me the password each time I login, although I tried the tricks with the libpam-keyring I found on the web. What can I do? I want to get automatically connected to my wireless network.
[05:31] <wols> markvp: so you don't have a 94306 but a4306. ok that one is supported by that driver. have you installed firmware yet?
[05:31] <ioannis35> c.gr
[05:31] <pha|con> neverblue: no it's not, if you're using an IDE drive then you need to be mounting /dev/hd* not /dev/sd*
[05:32] <mylogic> jshow: a little good search for your card's name along with the phrase ubuntu sent me to websites and forums where people have haad success stories!
[05:32] <mylogic> err google*
[05:32] <markvp> wols:  the 94306 is what is on the physical card.  From what it looks like I thought the firmware was installed.
[05:32] <neverblue> i have no /dev/hda
[05:32] <markvp> wols:  how can I check?
[05:32] <neverblue> we are just going down a road which will not help
[05:32] <neverblue> thanks pha|con
[05:32] <wols> markvp: dmesg output please?
[05:32] <mylogic> neverblue: what about /dev/sda O.o
[05:33] <fuzzy> hi people.. how can i change the kernel module of my nvidia driver?
[05:33] <wols> neverblue: newer kernel use libata that means sda for all disks
[05:33] <jshow> mylogic: I was all over google, but with the Dell box name - no love. I'll go read some stories now. thanx again. :D
[05:33] <pha|con> neverblue: well, you're not being explicit in what sort of drive you have and what kind of filesystem it uses...
[05:33] <neverblue> mylogic, I have it, but i need to know what type it is to mount
[05:33] <wols> !nvidia | fuzzy
[05:33] <ubotu> fuzzy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:33] <wols> markvp: dmesg. paste output to a pastebin
[05:33] <neverblue> pha|con, my first question was how do I find what type it is, and I have yet to see an answer to that question
[05:33] <markvp> wols:  getting bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
[05:33] <pha|con> neverblue: you say it has 3 partition which means that there should be filesystems on it already.
[05:33] <fuzzy> wols: thanks i will have a look at that
[05:33] <neverblue> i have been answering all your questions, yet no answer on mine
[05:33] <wols> markvp: there you are. no firmware
[05:34] <pha|con> neverblue: we told you fdisk or cfdisk, but those didn't work.  that can only mean the drive is bad or not installed correctly
[05:34] <wols> neverblue: fdisk -l. what does it say for sda?
[05:34] <yondie> markvp: update the firmware
[05:34] <neverblue> nothing wols
[05:34] <neverblue> just /dev/sda* show up
[05:35] <kgreen> how do i run vino so i can remote connect?
[05:35] <wols> neverblue: are you sure there is a partition on that disk?
[05:35] <markvp> yondie:  would this be using the fwcutter or the ndiswrapper?
[05:35] <neverblue> i pulled this drive from another system, hoping to troubleshoot why I could not boot it
[05:35] <yondie> markvp, aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[05:35] <neverblue> so there MUST be an error on it
[05:35] <wols> neverblue: please don't LIE to me. /dev/sda is not "nothing". what kinds of /dev/sda? use a pastebin
[05:35] <wols> markvp: fwcutter
[05:35] <markvp> youndi / wols:  I belive I have tried both the fwcutter and ndiswrapper.
[05:35] <yondie> prefer the fwcutter
[05:35] <pha|con> neverblue: from what you just said it sounds like the drive is dead
[05:35] <neverblue> wols, i dont think you need to assist me anymore
[05:35] <yondie> anyway broadcom sucks
[05:36] <neverblue> pha|con, maybe
[05:36] <pha|con> neverblue: and you also need to remember that being rude when coming to people for help because you can't help yourself is no way to go about things
[05:36] <mylogic> neverblue: you could open your computer and restart and listen to if the drive spins up or not
[05:36] <wols> neverblue: if you want help, give the ones trying to help you proper info. otherwise this cannot work
[05:36] <markvp> yondie:  but I'm stuck with it. . . will see if I can find a better walk-through then I had before.
[05:36] <neverblue> wols, I gave you an answer, and you accuse me of lying
[05:36] <yondie> markvp: mind if i ssh to your box?
[05:36] <wols> neverblue: cause you did. /dev/sda is not nothing
[05:37] <neverblue> one more msg from you and ill /ignore
[05:37] <wols> that is clearly a lie
[05:37] <gordonjcp> "lol broadcom"
[05:37] <wols> neverblue: it's not me who needs help. it's you
[05:37] <gordonjcp> they just don't get it, do they
[05:37] <markvp> yondie:  give me a second, I have to open a port and get my IP?
[05:37] <wols> markvp: have you found the fwcutter?
[05:37] <neverblue> mylogic, good idea
[05:37] <craigbass1976> Nutubuntu, I dont think you do choose.  Whether or not you use GNOME or KDE, you're going to see Kate in the menu somewhere, and there's some other apps.  Is that what you're talkign about?
[05:37] <yondie> markvp: are u behind a  router?
[05:37] <pha|con> neverblue: if the drive doesn't work in one system and then you can't read it properly in fdisk i would say with some certainty that the drive is dead
[05:37] <craigbass1976> Anyone want to help me get bind up and running?  I've missed something somewhere.  Ip pointing is ok, as I tcpdump, then try to go to my site, and I see traffic.  named -checkconf shows nothing.  Here are what I believe are the relevant conf files http://rafb.net/p/SH3x9945.html
[05:37] <markvp> wols:  I shouldn't have a problem finding it.
[05:38] <markvp> yondie:  yes, behind an ADSL router.
[05:38] <markvp> wols:  I had it yesterday, but failed setting it up.
[05:38] <pha|con> mylogic: the drive could still spin up even if it were bad
[05:38] <neverblue> pha|con, but it could just be the MBR?
[05:38] <AaronCampbell> Would anyone have time to try to help me make my networking work again on Kubuntu Fiesty?  I have 2 wired gigabit connections, and 1 wireless connection.  All I really want is to get one of the gigabit connections working
[05:38] <AaronCampbell> It appears as though all the interfaces are working fine.   don't see any way to choose a wireless network, and as for wired, I can't get an IP on my network (192.168.2.x), and a static IP (what I used to run) doesn't seem to work.  I've changed the cables out a few times, and am using one I tested on this laptop.   This laptop connects to the same router, using DHCP
[05:38] <AaronCampbell> And worst of all, it was working fine a few days ago
[05:38] <yondie> markvp: hurm  well make sure u install the openssh-server package
[05:39] <mylogic> neverblue: If you are really in dire need of the info on that system, you could try to find the exact model hd with a logic board that has the same firmware and try switching on the logic boards
[05:39] <wols> markvp: no worries
[05:39] <mylogic> pha|con: yeah, but if it doesn't even spin up, then you KNOW somethings up
[05:39] <neverblue> mylogic, i cannot tell by 'listening' if the drive is working
[05:39] <neverblue> too much in my case to distract
[05:39] <GizDrak> neverblue: Do the bios see the drive?
[05:39] <wols> mylogic: and a drive that shows (several) /dev/sda in fdisk -l is not bad. unless it spams dmesg
[05:39] <markvp> yondie:  no problem there.  I'm very familiar with setting up servers and network routing..  This I can handle.
[05:39] <neverblue> GizDrak, good point
[05:39] <neverblue> ill brb
[05:39] <yondie> cool
[05:39] <pha|con> mylogic: obviously, yes. but not working in two systems it kind of a dead giveaway
[05:39] <mylogic> neverblue: yeah definitely check the bios
[05:40] <wols> markvp: the routing is not the problem. WLAN problems are 99% the encryption and stuff like that
[05:40] <wols> markvp: the networking when you have a connection is child's play
[05:40] <pha|con> fdisk saw the drive, apparently, but just didn't list partitions....
[05:40] <GizDrak> mylogic: he probably has it set to master still or something
[05:40] <pha|con> chances are bios will see it too
[05:40] <yondie> wols, but right now his wireless ain`t working anyway at al
[05:40] <wols> pha|con: which means either busted partition table or read errors
[05:41] <rockets> whats wrong with this picture?
[05:41] <rockets> mount.cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/zach-desktop /media/cifs/ user=zach
[05:41] <markvp> yondie:  I have to register.
[05:41] <rockets> that isnt working
[05:41] <wols> yondie: yes. but he's a LOT farther than 999% of people asking. he already has the driver, even without firmware. And most of all: he's constructively working on his problem making an effort
[05:41] <wols> that's better than about 90% of all people asking for help here imho. that# very good
[05:41] <guest123213> hello everyone, how do u start ubuntu fiesty on text mode? and will  it identify my wireless internet connection?
[05:41] <yoli> wenas
[05:42] <lashmoove> when grub says.. loading.. hit esc
[05:42] <wols> guest123213: it probably won't. and with start in text mode do you mean for installing or for using?
[05:42] <yondie> guest123213,  well u can log in without the x session and use iwconfig wlan0 scan
[05:42] <lashmoove> then choose recovery
[05:42] <yondie> wols, oops i think it`s iwlist
[05:42] <defrysk> wols, you are more judgmental then about 99% of the people here
[05:42] <pha|con> corporate firewalls suck
[05:42] <wols> yondie: I dunno it either on top of my head. would have to check with the lappie
[05:43] <guest123213> well, i have a problem with ATI X1400 on my pc, and from the website it says that i should update using apt-get
[05:43] <wols> defrysk: you didn't say I'm wrong tho...
[05:43] <guest123213> but on text mode there is no internet connection
[05:43] <wols> defrysk: and if you wish you#re welcome the people here instead of me doing it
[05:43] <yondie> guest123213,  u gotta be kidding me
[05:43] <wols> defrysk: or kick me if you don't want me here
[05:43] <TuxOtaku> hey, I'm trying to do a kernel recompile....and it seems like the compiler is choking on the Memory Stick module http://pastebin.ca/581516
[05:43] <defrysk> wols, did I hurt your feelings now ?
[05:44] <guest123213> well, thats what happened to me unless i am doing something wrong
[05:44] <wols> guest123213: nah. you can be in X via vesa and update that way
[05:44] <guest123213> wols: how do i do that ?
[05:44] <wols> edman007: no. no names can't hurt feelings. I don't know you since you never talk here. you might be an op, you might come just from the street. I don#t know you
[05:44] <wols> guest123213: do what exactly?
[05:44] <wols> guest123213: can you get into X at all?
[05:44] <guest123213> nop
[05:45] <wols> or: what happens if you boot your box normally?
[05:45] <Nalleman> hi, i have just got my new extern hdd, it works great but i cant dismount it, it just goes " cant dismount volume" and open the HDD instead. help please.
[05:45] <boubbin> howto *.amr to *.mp3/ *.wav / *.ogg ?
[05:45] <TuxOtaku> can anyone help me with this kernel compile problem i'm having?
[05:45] <wols> Nalleman: some program still has a file open on that hdd
[05:45] <guest123213> i get the error message that X did not recognise my monitor or somthing,
[05:45] <yondie> boubbin, u can use ffmpeg
[05:45] <boubbin> yondie howto ?
[05:46] <Nalleman> wols, no, dont think so. not active anyway.
[05:46] <pha|con> does anyone here use freenx?
[05:46] <guest123213> when i looked through ubuntuforums i found that i have to use apt-get to fix this bug on fiesty with ATI X1400
[05:46] <wols> Nalleman: what is the mountpoint of the disk
[05:46] <defrysk> ffmpeg -i blah.amr blah.mp3 (or something)
[05:47] <wols> guest123213: do you get a login prompt (text mode)?
[05:47] <guest123213> yes
[05:47] <wols> guest123213: if not: try pressing ctrl+alt+f2.
[05:47] <AaronCampbell> Would anyone have time to try to help me make my networking work again on Kubuntu Fiesty?  I have 2 wired gigabit connections, and 1 wireless connection.  All I really want is to get one of the gigabit connections working

[05:47] <AaronCampbell> And worst of all, it was working fine a few days ago
[05:47] <craigbass1976> no bind gurus? I've been asking since 9:30 about this
[05:47] <wols> then log in. and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". there choose vesa an leave the rest as it is
[05:47] <Nalleman> wols, /media/lacie
[05:47] <wols> craigbass1976: that is the wrong channel for such a thing. try #bind
[05:48] <wols> Nalleman: lsof |grep media/lacie
[05:48] <wols> Nalleman: if something shows, something IS open
[05:48] <ipx> Is there any way to se status on files that you copy or move through the terminal? Im moving rather large files between discs and want to see the speed and percentage. :)
[05:48] <k1gw1> cp -v
[05:48] <wols> ipx: use mc
[05:48] <variant> I seem to have a problem with fonts here on feisty.. the character spacing is all wrong, for example the m or w keys overlap with other letters.
[05:48] <defrysk> v = verbose
[05:48] <Nalleman> wols;bjorn@bjorn:~$ lsof |grep media/lacie
[05:48] <Nalleman> bjorn@bjorn:~$ lsof |grep /media/lacie
[05:48] <Nalleman> bjorn@bjorn:~$
[05:48] <Phrozen_One> whats the best cli method for determining if a particular library is installed?
[05:49] <variant> ipx: not witht he version of coreutils shipped with ubuntu, other core utils version supports -g to give a progress indicator
[05:49] <wols> Nalleman: then what is the exact output when you umount /media/lacie ?
[05:49] <Del> d
[05:49] <wols> Phrozen_One: dpkg -l |grep libname
[05:49] <wols> Phrozen_One: if it's ii for status, it is
[05:50] <Nalleman> wols, it says it's not mounted :]
[05:50] <ipx> variant: ok :/
[05:50] <wols> then it isn't?
[05:50] <ipx> wols: mc?
[05:50] <sql_hesw> How do i install compiz-fusion in ubuntu?
[05:50] <wols> ipx: mc = midnight commander a norton commander clone
[05:50] <Phrozen_One> wols: isnt there a distro neutral way, using a *nix utility?
[05:50] <Nalleman> wols, but i can use it and its in media. wierd...
[05:50] <wols> !effects | sql_hesw
[05:50] <ubotu> sql_hesw: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[05:51] <wols> Nalleman: check with ls -al /media/lacie
[05:51] <wols> Phrozen_One: find / -name libname
[05:51] <wols> Phrozen_One: find / -name libname*
[05:51] <wols> Phrozen_One: locate works too. usually update every day around 6am
[05:51] <Nalleman> hm. it should be /media/LACIE sorry,
[05:51] <Phrozen_One> wols: won't that fail if I have a installer cache file named the same?
[05:52] <wols> so if you installed it today you either have to run updatedb& (as root) or wait til tomorrow :)
[05:52] <Phrozen_One> wols: I have used (s)locate frequently
[05:52] <wols> Phrozen_One: it will. to find the exact filename you need an exact name...
[05:52] <dyrne> bah just do a find / -name something    :)
[05:52] <wols> Phrozen_One: do you want this for a script or for a human?
[05:52] <Nalleman> wols, it says that LACIE is not in fstab
[05:52] <siva214215> sorry for the interruption - for pxe start what is the http parameter for this instead of nfs;
[05:52] <siva214215> kernel=vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz boot=casper netboot nfsroot=<IP_ADDRESS>:path/
[05:53] <Phrozen_One> wols: just trying to determine if a library is installed to compile a program, so human
[05:53] <wols> Nalleman: wenn you run ls?
[05:53] <wols> Phrozen_One: there are better ways in ubuntu: apt-get build-dep
[05:53] <Nalleman> no, when I try umount
[05:53] <Phrozen_One> wols:  using os x :)
[05:53] <wols> it automatically installs build dependencies very handy

[05:54] <sql_hesw> where do i add the custom startup programs in ubuntu?
[05:54] <wols> Nalleman: don't paste in the channel
[05:54] <Phrozen_One> wols: I figured it was a generic *nix question so I asked here :)
[05:54] <Nalleman> wols, sorry
[05:54] <karrotx> does ubuntu support iscsi?
[05:54] <wols> sql_hesw: /etc/rc.local
[05:54] <wols> Phrozen_One: this channel is for ubuntu ONLY. if you want support: install ubuntu
[05:54] <Ayarcy> Where can I find documentation on setting up a local .deb package server?  The packaging guide on help.ubuntu.com only tells you how to make the .debs, not how to serve them.
[05:54] <Phrozen_One> wols: I use ubuntu as well, so don't hate too badly
[05:54] <Ind[y] > The whole thing with the Keyring Manager is just nonsense and should immediately be removed!
[05:54] <wols> karrotx: only if the kernel supports it. you can check ubuntu's kernel config in the kernel-image package
[05:55] <dyrne> Phrozen_One: #linux is a good general support channel or #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:55] <Ind[y] > Millions of people claim that.
[05:55] <wols> Phrozen_One: I don#t even use ubuntu. I still don't ask windows or debian questions here
[05:55] <Jerlo> can anybody tell me how to install winbind?
[05:55] <karrotx> wols: what kind of iscsi utilities are there?
[05:55] <Phrozen_One> wols: point taken
[05:55] <wols> karrotx: i don't know. packages.ubuntu.com might help you
[05:55] <Nalleman> wols, should I edit fstab?
[05:55] <karrotx> i've searched and couldn't find anything
[05:55] <karrotx> that's why i asked
[05:56] <wols> karrotx: that hw is out of my priceclass. and frankly I'm not sure if I would run ubuntu on it
[05:56] <hylje> how do i set up automagical updates in server
[05:56] <wols> from what I remember iscsi is very cutting edge stuff

[05:57] <Nalleman> Well, bbl. dinner.
[05:57] <wols> siva214215: it is. so the sys requirements say. I still wouldn't run azureus and eclipse in that tho

[05:58] <wols> !sound | scope006
[05:58] <ubotu> scope006: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:18] <UberHalogen> Hi, Where can I find information on USB drivers available on Ubuntu? I recently purchased a Linksys WUSB54GS-UK (the not -UK version was recommended on the FSF website) and I was wondering if the drivers are available on ubuntu 6, I don't want to waste time downloading Ubuntu 7 (which I will be able to do once I get the internet using this wi-fi reciver anyway) or installing Ubuntu (I have...
[06:18] <UberHalogen> ...Debian at the moment (although its wireless config box isn't so great). So any help would be great.
[06:19] <wols> fuzzy_logic: I said commandline AND outpuz of that dpkg -l | grep nvidia statement. but anyways: I clearly see you have nvidia stuff installed:
[06:19] <wols> fuzzy_logic: ii  nvidia-kernel- 1.0.9756-100+2 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.20
[06:19] <yondie> i think the fastest way to restart your x is Ctrl + Alt + backspace
[06:19] <Shamail> hey what is this !<some thing> ???
[06:19] <mookid> thanks erUSUL :)
[06:19] <cov3rt> mookid: try editing xorg.conf to allow higher resolution
[06:19] <dyrne> UberHalogen: id do a google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org feisty usbdevicemodel'
[06:19] <erUSUL> mookid: no problem ;P
[06:19] <kaktuskatta> nickrud: quite annoying and frustrating that I
[06:19] <dyrne> UberHalogen: or use the livecd
[06:19] <mookid> ;)
[06:19] <kaktuskatta> 'm unable to change label
[06:19] <UberHalogen> dyrne: ok
[06:19] <fuzzy_logic> wols: yes but the version of that nvidia-kernel thing is different than the nvidia-glx.. how do i get the nvidia-kernel to be the same version as nvidia-glx?
[06:20] <wols> untill evreyy single line with nvidia is gone, don't stop removing
[06:20] <Shamail> !mplayer
[06:20] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs
[06:20] <wols> fuzzy_logic: yes, and it can cause problems cause it's installed. your problem IS: the kernel module is different from the glx...

[06:20] <nickrud> kaktuskatta, you got my attention cuz I am getting rid of my amd64 install and putting debian there; I changed the label just now as a first step
[06:21] <fuzzy_logic> wols: exactly.. i know that.. but how do i solve that problem?
[06:21] <wols> fuzzy_logic: I told you
[06:21] <kaktuskatta> nickrud: I C
[06:21] <wols> dpkg -l |grep nvidia   and apt-get remove --purge <packagename>
[06:21] <kaktuskatta> The wierd thing is that I were able to change this before I upgraded to feisty
[06:21] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what package do i have to remove?
[06:21] <wols> kaktuskatta: are your root while changing it?
[06:21] <kaktuskatta> wols:
[06:22] <kaktuskatta> wols: yes
[06:22] <wols> fuzzy_logic: all that show up in the command I told you
[06:22] <wols> I won't tell it a 3rd time
[06:22] <neverblue> now the fun part begins
[06:22] <beb> some people in here have experience with eclipse and maven?
[06:22] <fuzzy_logic> wols: sorry but somehow i don't understand some things you are saying.. but i think i get it now..
[06:22] <wols> beb: a) don't ask to ask b) better ask a java channel
[06:23] <beb> wols, nobody respond but thanks

[06:23] <scope006> ./fixed
[06:23] <wols> fuzzy_logic: can you repeat it in your own word so that we all understand each other and talk about the same
[06:23] <wols> beb: well it's kinda OT here and just cause they don't repsond iit's not our purpose to answer it
[06:23] <tck> where can i get sndconfig for feisty?
[06:24] <wols> tck: isn't that a rh kinda thing?
[06:24] <chadeldridge> scope006:  the same thing goes for the XPS Gen2 which i am running ... took a while to figure that one out

[06:24] <Teemu> Does anyone know a good OneNote replacement for Ubuntu?
[06:24] <wols> fuzzy_logic: yep! :)
[06:24] <neverblue> I updated this system last week (the one I pulled the HD out of, and added it to my current system) and when I rebooted, I got this error: 'crc error kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) '
[06:24] <fuzzy_logic> wols: thanks for your help.. will try that
[06:25] <wols> fuzzy_logic: you want a clean nvidia slate. after the removing we will hunt files left over fromt he nvidia.com isntaller. and then you can begin with the normal ubuntu nvidia install
[06:25] <Rope> fuzzy_logic: I removed the xubuntu-desktop, in fact it says it is not installed. but still have the X with xfce
[06:25] <scope006> chad:  yeah i was beating my skull against the keyboard for a while there.  lol
[06:25] <neverblue> i can read the system just fine, I think the update (might have been the update with the linux-headers, etc...) might have messed up my "boot sequence"?
[06:25] <edison_> no one here playing need for speed most wanted with cedega??????
[06:25] <wols> Rope: xubuntu-desktop is a meta-package. it has not files only dependencies. Rope dpkg -l |grep xfce. remove all those

[06:25] <eoj> does ubuntu have a style guide or templates for documentation?
[06:25] <Rope> wols:  Thanks
[06:26] <geniusvicks> how does one remove the icons of the hard disk drives from the destop?
[06:26] <dyrne> Rope: do a 'locate xfce4 | grep lib' and remove one of those maybe or the gtk thing
[06:26] <dyrne> Rope: trick is to remove a common dependancy
[06:26] <yondie> geniusvicks, find it around gconf-editor
[06:27] <Rope> dyrne: i made apt-get remove xfce* :)
[06:27] <fuzzy_logic> wols: when i try apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx it says that nvidia-glx is not installed
[06:27] <gnuts> anybody know how to undervolt a turion x2 64 tl-50 in feisty? is this an ok place to ask?
[06:27] <geniusvicks> yondie, when I type that in terminal I get gconf : command not found
[06:27] <domingez> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[06:27] <wols> fuzzy_logic: dpkg --purge nvidia-glx. only it's config files are still there. it's "rc"
[06:27] <yondie> geniusvicks, gconf-editor
[06:27] <fuzzy_logic> wols: thanks
[06:27] <eoj> nm, found it here: http://doc.ubuntu.com/styleguide/styleguide.html
[06:28] <nickrud> eoj, yes, but you'd probably be best asking on #ubuntu-doc
[06:28] <geniusvicks> yondie, its working now
[06:28] <cov3rt> Is it possible to run a 3G Woosh Wireless Network pcmcia card on ubuntu feisty?
[06:28] <mat1980> installed kde, I would remove gdm and use kdm. But removing gdm will remove gnome... some solution? I don't think gdm is so mandatory for gnome to work...
[06:29] <nickrud> mat1980, sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and choose kdm; gdm will still be there but not used
[06:29] <nickrud> mat1980, in fact when you install kdm, that's done automatically iirc
[06:29] <neverblue> I updated this system last week (the one I pulled the HD out of, and added it to my current system) and when I rebooted, I got this error: 'crc error kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) '
[06:30] <neverblue> i can read the system just fine, I think the update (might have been the update with the linux-headers, etc...) might have messed up my "boot sequence"?
[06:30] <wols> cov3rt: what chip does the card use?
[06:30] <letronje> hi how do i configure ubuntu client machines to authenticate  from a central ubuntu server  ?
[06:30] <chadeldridge> is there any way to make Gnome remember where things are on the screen so they open the same every time?
[06:30] <sql_hesw> I am getting the below error when i do apt-get update
[06:30] <sql_hesw> The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2D6CFB44DD800CD9
[06:30] <wols> letronje: NIS probably
[06:30] <mat1980> nickrud: I did... but I think it's foolish that removing gdm will remove all gnome...
[06:30] <wols> mat1980: it doesn't remove gnome
[06:30] <nickrud> mat1980, it only removes ubuntu-desktop, not gnome.
[06:31] <yondie> nah it won`t remove gnome
[06:31] <wols> mat1980: it only removes a meta package with no files in it
[06:31] <TheCreationist> I just installed Feisty from the live cd, but when logging into gnome, the screen goes completely white with a mouse cursor.  What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?
[06:31] <defrysk> mat switching beteween gdm and kdm is done with sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:32] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i finished removing and purging all of the things listed.. is now everything clear? can i now just install the nvidia-glx package?
[06:32] <Cement> Someone knows a program to lower your fans?
[06:32] <defrysk> mat1980,  switching beteween gdm and kdm is done with sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:32] <nickrud> chadeldridge, there's a thing called devilspie that you can use to get that effect
[06:32] <geniusvicks> yondie, what column should I look at?>
[06:32] <chadeldridge> seems to only work with metacity though .. and i am using berly
[06:32] <chadeldridge> beryl that is
[06:32] <wols> fuzzy_logic: not yet. soory
[06:32] <wols> fuzzy_logic: find / -name nvidia*
[06:32] <mat1980> wols: try to remove it... you'll see what packages it will try to remove... Not only meta-package gnome-desktop. I tried and stopped from doing that.
[06:32] <wols> fuzzy_logic: sudo find / -name nvidia*
[06:32] <yondie> geniusvicks, apps/nautilus/desktop
[06:32] <nickrud> chadeldridge, no clue then, sorry.
[06:32] <defrysk> mat1980, no need to remove gdm
[06:32] <wols> mat1980: paste what it removes in a pastebin please. with the commandline you use
[06:33] <chadeldridge> np ... anyone know ?

[06:35] <wols> neverblue: are you ignoring me?
[06:35] <jintxo> hermit_, I have a Pioneer 110 (or 111 can'tremember) works fine
[06:35] <neverblue> TheCreationist, setup your xorg.conf properly?
[06:35] <pihus> ke-, gonna try it out real soon
[06:35] <wols> hermit_: all IDE ones will work pretty much
[06:35] <ochosi> hi, i already asked before, but: my usb-hdd doesn't spin down correctly when being disconnected after being unmounted (also from the terminal). it produces some kind of clicking noise...
[06:35] <TheCreationist> neverblue: It's a fresh install.  Haven't been able to login at all yet.
[06:35] <phretor> hi there
[06:36] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Well, I'm logged in, but only in CLI.
[06:36] <damire> hola
[06:36] <neverblue> TheCreationist, ok, so what error?
[06:36] <phretor> how do I enable kernel event auditing?
[06:36] <fuzzy_logic> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26621/
[06:36] <hwilde> TheCreationist, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:36] <TheCreationist> neverblue: There is no error message.  The mouse still moves, but the screen is completely white.
[06:36] <damire> hola algun jaquer ?
[06:36] <neverblue> TheCreationist, in the cli, check dmesg

[06:37] <hwilde> easier to build an irc client with auto translation built in

[06:37] <defrysk> dyrne, to learn spanish /j #ubuntu-es ;p
[06:38] <claudio> antos
[06:38] <dyrne> bien!
[06:38] <mat1980> wols: uhm... strange thing. The problem is on kubuntu. If I install gnome-desktop and than try to remove gdm it will ask to remove a lot of packeges of gnome (not only metapackages). On ubuntu this doesn't happen. Ok, it doesn't matter. It's not a problem. Thanks.
[06:38] <Sted85> ciao a tutti
[06:38] <phretor> nothing about auditing?
[06:38] <mezziah> hehe dyrne i already started learning.. as it seems it's worth.
[06:38] <hwilde> pihus, you could reinstall acpi packages
[06:38] <wols> fuzzy_logic: ok. you're clean. no nvidia X driver files/libs. apt-get clean to delete the old .deb files for installing (warning: it will delete all other files in your apt-cache. but you can always reload them frm ubuntu.com. and it will free a lot of diskspace probably)
[06:38] <Sted85> !list
[06:38] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.   What is a good cli client?  I installed ircii, but it says command not found.
[06:38] <defrysk> mat1980, JUST DONT REMOVE GDM
[06:38] <hwilde> TheCreationist, XChat
[06:38] <neverblue> TheCreationist, xchat
[06:39] <hwilde> TheCreationist, or just plain "irc"
[06:39] <fuzzy_logic> wols: ok will do that
[06:39] <defrysk> mat1980, to switch between gdm kdm do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:39] <hwilde> !kubuntu | mat1980
[06:39] <claudio> douglas santos do nacsimento
[06:39] <ubotu> mat1980: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[06:39] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what now?
[06:39] <phretor> ok, do I have to wander that nobody does know what auditing is?
[06:39] <mat1980> defrysk: ok, thanks.
[06:39] <wols> fuzzy_logic: now you do a normal nvidia install
[06:39] <wols> !nvidia | fuzzy_logic
[06:39] <ubotu> fuzzy_logic: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:39] <jintxo> TheCreationist, did you mean irssi?
[06:40] <TheCreationist> Okay, XChat is for gnome... I asked about for the CLI ;)
[06:40] <hwilde> TheCreationist, just plain "irc" works nice in the terminal.
[06:40] <neverblue> xchat is not just for Gnome :)
[06:40] <fuzzy_logic> wols: ok thanks
[06:40] <neverblue> its a GUI irc cleint
[06:40] <neverblue> if you want a cli irc, sudo aptitude install irssi
[06:40] <wols> TheCreationist: irssi is the best for cli. none othre :)
[06:40] <defrysk> neverblue, its a gtk2 app
[06:40] <wols> TheCreationist: also use screen then
[06:40] <neverblue> defrysk, im sure
[06:41] <hwilde> TheCreationist, /usr/bin/irc   it is good enough
[06:41] <defrysk> neverblue, suited to gnome
[06:41] <defrysk> and xfce4
[06:41] <wols> defrysk: but not a gnome one. doesn't link to gnome libs
[06:41] <neverblue> that gnome-xchat
[06:41] <mat1980> hwilde: I know there is kde irc channel, I just thought that the ubuntu should has the same problem. I was wrong.
[06:41] <neverblue> which is different than xchat
[06:41] <defrysk> wols, ok, agree
[06:41] <defrysk> gnome-xchat is your royal uglyness
[06:41] <neverblue> I updated this system last week (the one I pulled the HD out of, and added it to my current system) and when I rebooted, I got this error: 'crc error kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) ' :: i can read the system just fine, I think the update (might have been the update with the linux-headers, etc...) might have messed up my "boot sequence"?
[06:41] <neverblue> defrysk, i like a feature or two
[06:42] <TheCreationist> Okay, I'm back.  I reconfigured my xorg.conf but I still only get a white screen when logging into gnome.
[06:42] <neverblue> type multiple lines from the same user, the username isnt added on the next lines
[06:42] <hwilde> neverblue, it is probably a grub error locating partition (0,0) the harddrive probably is recognized as something else now
[06:42] <cov3rt> wols: sorry, i haven't actually got it with me. :s
[06:42] <defrysk> neverblue, tried it , but used xchat too long to appreciate the gnome version
[06:42] <neverblue> hwilde, what do I need to do to troubleshoot?
[06:42] <neverblue> defrysk, you wouldn't appreciate it :)
[06:43] <defrysk> neverblue, hehe
[06:43] <phretor> ok, nobody does know what auditing is. Doesn't #ubuntu-security exist?
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !libdvdcss2
[06:43] <asep> ng two NIC on ubuntu 7.04 server
[06:43] <neverblue> i used it for 2-3 days, and wanted to rewrite it
[06:43] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[06:43] <wols> cov3rt: do you know what brand/model it is. then you can google for it
[06:43] <neverblue> the missing userlist was a big thing for me
[06:43] <hwilde> neverblue, match /boot/grub/menu.lst with the output from "sudo fdisk -l" and make sure it is lookign at the right harddrive and partition
[06:43] <asep> how to configuring two NIC on ubuntu 7.04 server
[06:44] <pihus>  /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found <- what should I install for that? just apt-get install esd doesn't do it
[06:44] <jintxo> TheCreationist, if it's only a gnome problem (like maybe xfce or kde or whatever work fine) and you don't mind loosing your gnome settings, you could try rm'ing all the .gnome or .gnome2 directories in your home directory and restarting gnome, I guess
[06:44] <hwilde> asep, man ifconfig
[06:44] <hwilde> asep, man /etc/network/interfaces
[06:44] <wols> pihus: search for bin/esd filename on packages.ubuntu.org
[06:44] <wols> pihus: some esound package probably
[06:45] <TheCreationist> jintxo: I thought of trying that.  This is a completely fresh install, so that won't be an issue.  I'll give it a shot.
[06:45] <wols> asep: configure them for what? what is your goal?
[06:45] <pihus> esound it is :D tnx
[06:45] <wols> asep: eg. you do want to do NAT with it (a router)?
[06:45] <asep> i want to make my server as router
[06:45] <neverblue> hwilde, can I do that with the HD removed from my system, and added into this one?
[06:45] <jintxo> TheCreationist, if it's fresh fresh, maybe just clean out your home dir completely, make sure you got rid of everything and start from a "clean" profile
[06:45] <hwilde> neverblue, where there's a will there's a way
[06:45] <erUSUL> pihus: enlightment sound daemon esd the sound server of gnome (originaly, eons ago of enlightment). Now is being replaced by pulse audio iirc
[06:46] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i have to reboot now.. i will tell you if it works
[06:46] <k1gw1> asep: insatll webmin on it and connect to it from another machine if you wanna set it up as a router. makes it much easier.
[06:46] <montserrat> ola
[06:46] <montserrat> k te cuentas
[06:46] <pihus> erUSUL, got it working already :)
[06:46] <pihus> am I right that apt-get autoremove isn't really safe?
[06:46] <pihus> it somewhy removed my esound, gnome-session and bunch of other stuff
[06:46] <swooney> hey guys, since the other day my new windows aren't coming up in front, i think i installed avant-window-navigator, could that be the cause?
[06:48] <asep> i had two NIC on my PC but only on e which can detect ?
[06:48] <me353> swooney: highly probable
[06:48] <gharz> guys, how do i type arabic texts?
[06:48] <asep> no
[06:48] <wols> asep: which two nics?
[06:48] <nexous> Hi, when i go to install msttcorefonts from terminal, i get 'E: package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate'
[06:49] <wols> !info avant-window-navigator
[06:49] <ubotu> Package avant-window-navigator does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:49] <ziggy23> Will Ubuntu read a Mac OS X formatted volume (for data recovery purposes)?
[06:49] <wols> !info msttfcorefonts
[06:49] <ubotu> Package msttfcorefonts does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:49] <cyras> hi
[06:49] <cyras> room
[06:49] <wols> ziggy23: I think yes. dunno about write access
[06:49] <nexous> Oh, i thought i had them on there before. Wierd.
[06:50] <wols> nexous: check universe/multiverse. and if it doesn't exist there either: get it from debian, they have it
[06:50] <nexous> wols: alright thanks.
[06:50] <defrysk> !info msttcorefonts
[06:50] <wols> nexous: the fact that apt knwos about it without install candidate says it was in ubuntu at one time at least
[06:50] <ubotu> msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 34 kB, installed size 208 kB
[06:50] <etio> miche
[06:50] <ziggy23> ok do you think I might be able to pull contents off to an external volume ?
[06:50] <wols> defrysk: thanks
[06:50] <defrysk> wols, you had a minor typo ;)
[06:50] <TheCreationist> Okay, a fresh install of Ubuntu Feisty and when trying to log in to gnome, my screen goes completely white with just a mouse cursor.  I have removed all ~/.gnome* and reconfigured the xserver.  What else can I try?
[06:50] <wols> ziggy23: gry it. only one way to find out
[06:51] <wols> defrysk: I ususlly have more than minor ones!
[06:51] <ziggy23> ok thank
[06:51] <defrysk> hehe
[06:51] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it's not working.. it is the same problem, it gives the EXACT same error message.. grrr
[06:51] <wols> TheCreationist: install another window manage (fluxbox!) and select it in gdm
[06:51] <wols> fuzzy_logic: what message?
[06:51] <fuzzy_logic> wols: but i have found something that is strange
[06:52] <fuzzy_logic> wols: that about the kernel module
[06:52] <wols> fuzzy_logic: dmesg output, xorg.log content in a pastebin
[06:52] <gharz> guys, how can i have arabic text input?
[06:53] <ashu18> wols: remember me??? is gonzoism here??
[06:53] <chadeldridge> Am i correct in saying that in Gnome you cannot have different icons on each of your desktops yet?
[06:53] <cov3rt> wols: the card is made by IPWireless. uses 3G UMTS TDD technology. thats all the information i can find
[06:53] <fuzzy_logic> wols: dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26623/.. xorg.log is on the way
[06:54] <wols> ashu18: yes I do. I dunno about him
[06:54] <wols> gharz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=arabic&searchon=all&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[06:54] <sowngold> i thinks to use ubuntu very diffrent
[06:54] <inthepit> hello all.  quick question.  i lost grub can i re-install it from the live or alternate cd?
[06:54] <gharz> thanks
[06:55] <wols> cov3rt: ow. that is no WLAN. that is a mobile phone data card...
[06:55] <wols> cov3rt: tricky
[06:55] <fuzzy_logic> wols: where is the xorg.log placed?
[06:55] <wols> !grub | inthepit
[06:55] <ubotu> inthepit: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:55] <ashu18> wols: does fedora or any other linux distro got better hardware support than ubuntu???
[06:55] <wols> inthepit: yes. see links
[06:55] <wols> ashu18: we dunno. we only know ubuntu...
[06:55] <inthepit> thanks a bunch
[06:55] <chadeldridge> cov3rt:  who is the provider of that card .. .if its anything like my sprint card you will have to use some PPP dialer to make it work after getting it installed
[06:56] <ashu18> oh...
[06:56] <wols> ashu18: you can have luck or you don't. but by all means ubuntu should detect your CD just fine
[06:56] <Scunizi> inthepit, checkout http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm for good grub help.. It was my rescue.
[06:56] <TheCreationist> Okay, I'm booted into recovery mode since the other method keeps locking up the entire system.
[06:56] <wols> TheCreationist: X problems?
[06:56] <TheCreationist> I still can't login to gnome (I get a completely white screen with a mouse cursor) and my system locks up very frequently.
[06:56] <TheCreationist> wols: Yes, I do believe so.
[06:56] <TheCreationist> wols: Fresh install of Feisty
[06:56] <sinnlos> hello i have 2 monitors and i want to have in the second screen the 2. virtual desktop ...
[06:56] <fuzzy_logic> wols: where is the xorg.log?
[06:56] <wols> TheCreationist: what driver what card?
[06:56] <wols> fuzzy_logic: /var/log
[06:57] <sowngold> exit
[06:57] <B2Ka> hey
[06:57] <TheCreationist> wols: I have a GeForce 6200.  I've tried the nv, vesa, and vga drivers so far... same results.
[06:57] <B2Ka> Can I install Amarok on Ubuntu not Kubuntu
[06:57] <defrysk> B2Ka, yes
[06:57] <chadeldridge> B2ka:  yes .. its in the repository
[06:57] <ashu18> B2Ka: yes you can
[06:57] <wols> TheCreationist: your problem is not the videocard and its driver. your problem is gnome
[06:57] <B2Ka> i can install it without install kde?
[06:57] <wols> TheCreationist: create another user and run startx as that user
[06:58] <fuzzy_logic> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26624/
[06:58] <ashu18> B2Ka: you can have it without kde
[06:58] <defrysk> B2Ka, you need some kde stuff , like qt to make it work
[06:58] <chadeldridge> B2Ka:  yes ... but you might want to look at Exaile! which is written for gnome
[06:58] <cov3rt> wols: yes it sure isnt behaving itself. pcmcia slot status returns that it recognises something there and what voltage it needs, but that it has no driver.
[06:58] <TheCreationist> wols: Why would that matter?  I've deleted all of my ~/.gnome* directories.
[06:58] <TheCreationist> wols: That would have the same result as a new user, wouldn't it?
[06:58] <wols> fuzzy_logic: glx is 9631, kernel module is 9755. remove the nvidia-glx and install the 9755 glx
[06:59] <ashu18> B2Ka: get an easier nick name...it's very difficult to type 'B2Ka' - 2 capitals, 1 small and a number in the middle
[06:59] <B2Ka> ;p
[06:59] <wols> TheCreationist: that would work too fo course. I'm just eleiminating possibilities. you didn'te tell me that you did that
[06:59] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, use remove --purge
[06:59] <B2Ka> so what i need to install amarok ?
[06:59] <TheCreationist> wols: Oh, I had mentioned it before, you must have just missed it :)
[06:59] <tck> !sound
[06:59] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:59] <wols> TheCreationist: remove all of gnome (removing libgtk does the trick and reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[06:59] <B2Ka> can you give me the right command?
[06:59] <fuzzy_logic> wols: the new one is not working good.. it must be possible to install just the normal nvidia-glx?? it worked before..
[06:59] <cov3rt> wols: i can't find record of any-one since 2.6.0x kernel even attempting it
[06:59] <wols> TheCreationist: didn't help you for long
[07:00] <fuzzy_logic> defrysk: i tried that.. but that didn't work..
[07:00] <defrysk> B2Ka, you need to install it with synaptic and the dependencies wil be resolved autmagically
[07:00] <endo> !murrine | endo
[07:00] <TheCreationist> wols: Okay, so in recovery mode apparently you only get one tty?
[07:00] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, have you used envy or something ?
[07:00] <wols> cov3rt: what does it recognize? also: don't check only for ubuntu, check for linux in general
[07:00] <endo> does anyone know how I go about installing this? http://murrine.netsons.org/?q=node/36
[07:00] <B2Ka> woow
[07:00] <B2Ka> exaile is nice too
[07:00] <wols> TheCreationist: single user mode I guess :)
[07:00] <fuzzy_logic> defrysk: i have tried that.. yes
[07:01] <B2Ka> but have exaile a plugin with Last.fm ?
[07:01] <TheCreationist> wols: Then I need to reboot first :)
[07:01] <wols> defrysk: he did at least once yes
[07:01] <defrysk> B2Ka, exaile is a nice amarok wannabee
[07:01] <TheCreationist> wols: brb....
[07:01] <defrysk> thought so wols one sev I know the solution
[07:01] <TheCreationist> wols: What was the package you wanted me to remove again?
[07:01] <defrysk> sec
[07:01] <B2Ka> have exaile a last.fm plugin ?
[07:01] <chadeldridge> endo:  download the package, untar it, then inside that directory do a sudo ./configure, then a make, then a sudo make install
[07:01] <wols> fuzzy_logic: nvidia-glx-new is what you want
[07:02] <wols> TheCreationist: dpkg -l|grep libgtk
[07:02] <endo> chadeldridge: thank you
[07:02] <chadeldridge> np .. yell if you need help
[07:02] <wols> TheCreationist: it will remove a LOT of dependencies btw
[07:02] <TheCreationist> wols: Thank you.
[07:02] <TheCreationist> wols: But ubuntu-deskto will install everything I need again, correct?
[07:02] <wols> endo: don't do this
[07:02] <fuzzy_logic> wols: nvidia-glx-new didn't work.. i have tried that before.. my screen was moved like 15 cm.. it HAS to be possible on some way to just install the normal nvidia-glx?? as i said it worked before
[07:02] <saya> helloooo !
[07:02] <B2Ka> hey, does exaile have a last.fm plugin ?
[07:02] <wols> endo: read up on siomething like checkinstall first
[07:02] <endo> wols: what's wrong with murrine? it looks sooo nice
[07:03] <endo> ok
[07:03] <chadeldridge> everyone loves checkinstall ... lol
[07:03] <troopperi> use automatix2 to install nvidia...workin for me geforce fx5500
[07:04] <wols> fuzzy_logic: then look for a nvidia 96.31 kernel module. all I could find is the source for that (which you can use via module-assistant but you have to compile it yourself)
[07:04] <wols> nvidia-kernel-source build-essential module-assistant. you need them all then
[07:04] <fuzzy_logic> wols: how do i to that?
[07:04] <Slipzer0> How do I make mplayer the default video player?
[07:04] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, sorry no solution
[07:04] <Slipzer0> and possibly remove totem?
[07:05] <Panzer_> I have a ati 8500
[07:05] <Panzer_> I have DLed the drivers for it
[07:05] <Panzer_> I think
[07:05] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, try this :
[07:05] <Panzer_> but what I have got says for xorg 7
[07:05] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[07:05] <cov3rt> wols:  root@austin-laptop:/home/austin# cardctl info ... PRODID_1="IPWireless" ... PRODID_2="3G Data Modem" ... PRODID_3="V 0.1" ... PRODID_4="" ... MANFID=02f2,0100 ... FUNCID=255
[07:05] <Panzer_> should I run that though?
[07:05] <wols> Panzer_: you need 100.xx drivers. not in ubuntu so far. maybe in gutsy. check a backport
[07:05] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:05] <Panzer_> this is older ATI card
[07:06] <fuzzy_logic> defrysk: i have already installed it.. but then i get an error message
[07:06] <wols> defrysk: he already has
[07:06] <defrysk> dam
[07:06] <cov3rt> wols: and  root@austin-laptop:/home/austin# cardctl config
[07:06] <cov3rt> Socket 0:
[07:06] <cov3rt>   Vcc 3.3V  Vpp1 3.3V  Vpp2 3.3V
[07:06] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i installed all that.. what do i have to do now?
[07:06] <wols> fuzzy_logic: m-a
[07:06] <defrysk> fuzzy_logic, what went wrong with the envy package ?
[07:06] <wols> 1ency
[07:06] <wols> !envy
[07:06] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[07:06] <defrysk> wols, true
[07:06] <wols> defrysk: read the last phrase
[07:06] <defrysk> but i have tested it
[07:07] <endo> wols: looks like a usefull program. thanks a lot
[07:07] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what do you mean by that?
[07:07] <defrysk> and managed to remove it even
[07:07] <danshtr> hi all, I am using NetworkManager. Is it possible to send commands to it via command line?
[07:07] <defrysk> ahwell, have to stop
[07:07] <wols> fuzzy_logic: run it "m-a"
[07:08] <wols> start with "m-a prepare" if you want to stay on cli
[07:08] <fuzzy_logic> wols: do i have to choose prepare?
[07:09] <wols> yes
[07:09] <wols> it will isntall kernel headers too iirc. I forgot them
[07:09] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it says Press Return to continue... what is Return?
[07:09] <chadeldridge> enter
[07:09] <fuzzy_logic> chadeldridge: thanks
[07:10] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what now?
[07:10] <wols> select. choose your kernel module
[07:10] <fuzzy_logic> wols: is the kernel module nvidia-kernel?
[07:10] <CoOlGhOsT> hey.. just got a new hdd. i partioned it and formatted as ext3. now its time for mounting... but how do i grant rw access to all???
[07:11] <neztiti> guys can someone help me
[07:11] <neztiti> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26625/
[07:11] <wols> or nvidia-kernel-source yes
[07:11] <lacrymology> I followed the guide in help.ubuntu.org to install the nvidia drivers, but it doesn't find the kernel module in all kernels
[07:11] <fuzzy_logic> wols: do i also have to choose nvidia-kernel-legacy?
[07:11] <lacrymology> can somebody help, please?
[07:11] <neztiti> can one help me with dxr3 card???
[07:11] <wols> neztiti: do what the friendly message says: see dmesg
[07:11] <wols> fuzzy_logic: NO
[07:11] <wols> unless: what nvidia card?
[07:12] <neztiti> wols: yes
[07:12] <jamman> lacrymology, you must recompile with each kernel.
[07:12] <wols> neztiti: have you done what the error says? and?
[07:12] <fuzzy_logic> wols: nvidia gforce go 6600
[07:12] <wols> fuzzy_logic: you're fine. no legacy
[07:12] <wols> only nvidia-kernel
[07:12] <fuzzy_logic> wols: ok thanks
[07:12] <wols> that one is for old gf2 cards
[07:12] <jamman> lacrymology, basically, if you have it compiled for one kernel, it won't work on any newer or older one.
[07:13] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what do i have to choose now?
[07:13] <lacrymology> jamman: I know that, but I don't know how to recompile for each kernel
[07:13] <neztiti> wols : em8300: Unknown symbol i2c_bit_del_bus
[07:13] <jamman> lacrymology, are you trying to use the new kernel?
[07:13] <instabin> Can I setup network load balencing over 2 network connections?
[07:13] <jamman> lacrymology, newER anyways...
[07:14] <lacrymology> jamman: yes, of course. So, say there's been a kernel update, what do I have to do after it's been installed in order for the modules to work?
[07:14] <wols> neztiti: some i2c module is missing. locate i2c |grep linux
[07:14] <sinnlos> join #xfce-de
[07:14] <fuzzy_logic> wols: what do i have to choose?
[07:14] <John> Hello everyone.
[07:15] <jamman> lacrymology, if so then you must go back and do the ./configure, then make, then sudo make install, in the directory that has the nvidia drivers, or re run the binary or whatever it is.
[07:15] <jamman> lacrymology, basically, you must redo everything.
[07:15] <darko> hola, alguien pude ayudarme a usar el comando split en ubuntu?
[07:15] <fuzzy_logic> wols: build or install?
[07:15] <wols> build at first
[07:15] <fuzzy_logic> wols: thanks
[07:15] <wols> fuzzy_logic: this is btw installing nvidia the "debian way" mostly :)
[07:15] <John> Does anyone have Limewire working?
[07:16] <eljak> instabin, what do you mean by 2 connections? how your system decides which one to use
[07:16] <fuzzy_logic> wols: ok :)
[07:16] <wols> all cause ubuntu fscked up and didn't provide nvidia-kernel drivers anymore but only nnvidia-new-kernel
[07:16] <wols> fuzzy_logic: but it might show the same thing as the nvidia-new-kernel stuff with 15cm distorted picture. no guarantees
[07:17] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it didn't before so i hope now it will not too..
[07:17] <mike__> howdy, I'm trying to enable 3d graphic acceleration ,but when I run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[07:17] <lacrymology> jamman: I thought ubuntu was supposed to be smart about these things: new kernel packages should reinstall all modules. Point made, how the hell do I know where the drivers are? I just apt-get install nvidia-glx!
[07:17] <fuzzy_logic> it's done i guess.. now just restart x?
[07:17] <mike__> i get an error
[07:17] <wols> fuzzy_logic: could have been another driver and nvidia.com screwed up...
[07:17] <wols> no. install it
[07:17] <mike__> sudo: nvidia-glx-config: command not found
[07:17] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it asked me if i wanted to install it and i sayed yes.. so i guess it installed
[07:17] <shwag> I am logging into a box using ssh keys.  I want to set my passwd, but it prompts me for my (current) UNIX password. I dont know what it is, but I am logged in. So I can't set it?
[07:17] <jamman> lacrymology, oh, well in that case you should be alright... no x tho? or just the wrong xorg?
[07:18] <wols> mike__: what makes you think that command exists?
[07:18] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i'm going to restart x.. brb
[07:18] <wols> fuzzy_logic: check it with dpkg -l |grep nvidia. always check
[07:18] <mike__> it's inside the ubuntu support forums
[07:18] <jamman> shwag, do you know the root password?
[07:18] <mike__> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/graphics-cards.html
[07:18] <wols> while the computer is your friend, you still check on him :)
[07:18] <shwag> jamman: i can get it, but im just wondering more as an exercise.
[07:18] <lacrymology> jamman: the xorg.conf is fine, it says Driver "nvidia", startx says it doesn't find the NVIDIA module, so no, I'm not fine
[07:19] <jamman> lacrymology, try sudo modprobe nvidia
[07:19] <jamman> shwag, well, then... guess?
[07:19] <korny> hi
[07:19] <mike__> did you see that wols?
[07:19] <shwag> jamman: not sure i have that much time
[07:19] <jamman> shwag, is it a school box or something like that?
[07:19] <korny> how can i access my usb digicam?
[07:20] <LChris> hi
[07:20] <aimtrainer> hi does anybody have a little thinkpad-experience? I accedently set the boot mode to some kind of analysation instead of quick and now I dont get in the bios anymore..
[07:20] <lacrymology> jamman: modprobe, that was it. Will that work forever, on tihs kernel, or just for this boot?
[07:20] <xst> No matter how hard I try I have not been able to enable an external monitor to my laptop. Every time I configure a secondary monitor in "system settings" X won't restart (using Kubuntu). What should I do?
[07:20] <jamman> korny, you should be able to just plug it in. if that doesn't work, you may have to specify the device to programe.
[07:20] <jamman> lacrymology, that will insert the module into the kernel. if that works, i will help you with the rest.
[07:21] <LChris>  ;)
[07:21] <jamman> lacrymology, now you may need to run "sudo killall gdm" and then "sudo gdm"
[07:21] <korny> jamman, i'd like to try via shell. lsusb already knows: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 040a:058f Kodak Co.
[07:21] <jamman> lacrymology, you WILL need to run those commands.
[07:21] <wols> lacrymology: put it in /etc/modules and it will work forever
[07:22] <lacrymology> jamman: wols: it's fine, I broke something before I got the modprobe so I'll have to reinstall
[07:22] <jamman> korny, well, there should be some way to mount it. almost like a flash drive.
[07:22] <cov3rt> wols: did you see what it said?
[07:22] <Carol> hi
[07:22] <jamman> lacrymology, what did you break? i could probably help, if not somebody else should be able to.
[07:22] <korny> jamman: what device is it? /dev/sd*1 does not exist
[07:23] <Erich85> Hello all.  I have Mathematica 6.0 for Linux, I'm trying to figure out how to install it on Feisty Fawn.  Any ideas?
[07:23] <John> Chatting works, but web pages take forever to load but never get 'Could not find page' error is most likely a firewall issue?
[07:23] <jamman> korny, no idea. don't have one. try random dev's
[07:23] <lacrymology> jamman: it's fine, I removed nvidia, thought reinstalling would be faster than twitching with anger
[07:23] <dawall> hey all!  i need to convert a Visio file into .vxd or something else that Dia can read. Got any tips?
[07:23] <wols> cov3rt: yes I did. but all I can tell you is to google and fine software/driver/howto for any linux distro. if you find it, it can be adapted for ubunut
[07:23] <OmegaCenti> My info command seems just to point to the man pages of the commands I am looking up. What gives?
[07:23] <korny> jamman: which devs?
[07:23] <wols> but your device is to exotic to have easy support, sorry
[07:24] <jamman> try something like mount /dev/sd?? and you should be set.
[07:24] <lacrymology> jamman: but now it will probably autoconfigure it to my current kernel, so I'll have to do this again next time
[07:24] <stojance> how do I make my dsl connection start on boot?
[07:24] <OmegaCenti> wols: Its not always very easy to adapt it to ubuntu. However, debian might be the easiest one to "adapt" to ubuntu.
[07:24] <jamman> lacrymology, yeah, it most likely will.
[07:24] <wols> OmegaCenti: I never said it's easy. but if one linux can do it. any can.
[07:24] <wifimonste1> is there a pidgin deb?
[07:25] <OmegaCenti> wols: Not all linuxes use inittab.....
[07:25] <wols> !Pidgin
[07:25] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[07:25] <cov3rt> wols: ohk thanks for trying :) bye all
[07:25] <wols> OmegaCenti: who cares? all use the same kernel and hecen the same drivers. all use the same network stack, the same ppp, etc
[07:25] <OmegaCenti> cov3rt: What were you looking for?
[07:25] <wols> 18:53 < cov3rt> wols: the card is made by IPWireless. uses 3G UMTS TDD technology. thats all the information i can find
[07:25] <wols> a 3G UMTS PCMCIA card. a "Modem"
[07:26] <Erich85> Is it possible to install Mathematica 6.0 onto Ubuntu?
[07:26] <TheCreationist> wols: Okay, I removed and reinstalled all gnome software.  Still the same problem.
[07:26] <wols> yes, mathematica has alinux version
[07:26] <TheCreationist> wols: I should say that the live CD worked flawlessly... I don't understand how it would suddenly be broken.
[07:26] <wols> what does dmesg say? or syslog?
[07:26] <wols> what if you install another window manager (fluxbox) and choose it in gdm?
[07:26] <Peptide> Hi. I've been trying to make rhythmbox recognize my media in my removable hard drive. I've clicked on the "scan for removable media" option on the menu but get no response from the software. This does not work with external hard drives?
[07:26] <jamman> lacrymology, just to let you know, my sig at ubuntu forums is "If at first you don't succed, install, install again..."
[07:27] <lacrymology> jamman: that sounds like a Windows' motto
[07:27] <wols> TheCreationist: some confi got fscked. did you purge when you removed the stuff?
[07:27] <OmegaCenti> wols: I care whenever guides are outdated and talking about lilo which is never used any more and things like inittab have been completely redone and things like the mail command don't even come with ubuntu standard anymore. So yes, soe guides are not that easy to adapt, and this can be quite daunting to some first users. Its almost like saying rsefm (read somebody eles fin manual--in hope that you learn about
[07:27] <OmegaCenti> ours)
[07:27] <TheCreationist> wols: Other than problems with ata2, dmesg doesn't report any errors.
[07:27] <TheCreationist> wols: No, I didn't purge.
[07:27] <wols> lacrymology: the ubunt/debian one goe "....dpkg-reconfigure again, dpkg-reconfigure again...." :)
[07:28] <pha|con> OmegaCenti: slackware still uses lilo, but not inittab.  i think it still uses sysV
[07:28] <Armageddon00> Hello, I'm having some trouble with sound recording through wine.  It deals specificlly with the application ventrilo, and for the record no I cannot use any native apps all my clanmates use this.  The problem is that alsa seems to recognize and record from my mic (I can turn the mic on in the mixer and i hear my voice reverberating through the speakers).  When I try and use alsa in wine with ventrilo I can hear voices, but I cann
[07:28] <wols> TheCreationist: you should. all the system gnome config files. one could have gone bad. but anayways. install fluxbox just for trial
[07:28] <lacrymology> still sounds very much Windows like... except for windows it'd be "reboot" instead
[07:28] <lauriexxx> hello to you all, can anyone help me, i ve installed picasa, and it causing serious conflict, i can seem to remove it via sudo apt-get remove, anbody got a forcing methos?
[07:28] <cov3rt> i was looking for a driver for an IPWireless pcmcia card used by Woosh
[07:28] <freepenguin> hello
[07:29] <wols> pha|con: lilo is a bootlaoder. inittab is part of init (and others), sysv is still used by almost everyone else exccept slack. they use BSD afaik
[07:29] <OmegaCenti> My info command seems just to point to the man pages of the commands I am looking up. What gives?
[07:29] <wols> lacrymology: what does apt say when you try. full output in a pastebin
[07:29] <aimtrainer> Doe sanybody have an idea how I get to a thinkpads bios when I activated diagnostics boot mode?
[07:30] <wols> OmegaCenti: might have to install the info docs for the packages?
[07:30] <pha|con> wols: i know what lilo is. Omega was saying no distro uses it anymore
[07:30] <lacrymology> wols: what? when I try to what?
[07:30] <pha|con> wols: slack is what i run on my main rig at home
[07:30] <wols> aimtrainer: #hardware? perhaps #laptops. or look for thw thinkpad wiki with google
[07:30] <lacrymology> hmm
[07:30] <OmegaCenti> wols: no idea, is that available in one big package or is that some option I need to give to apt or synaptics?
[07:30] <wols> pha|con: does it have a /etc/rc2.d ?
[07:30] <metbsd> i feel kubuntu will delete my winxp partition
[07:30] <lacrymology> reinstalling didn't work.. still not finding NVIDIA
[07:30] <wols> OmegaCenti: use some gnu software doc package. like gcc-doc
[07:31] <aimtrainer> wols thanks I'll try that
[07:31] <OmegaCenti> metbsd: Then you will feel liberated and refreshed. :)
[07:31] <wols> OmegaCenti: or locate .info files
[07:31] <pha|con> wols: no, it does bsd-style.
[07:31] <wols> metbsd: debian not working out?
[07:31] <pha|con> wols: typed one thing while thinking another
[07:31] <user_> hey, guys, i try to make a debian boot floppy with the command "dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync" and i get this "dd: writing `/dev/fd0': Input/output error" as a respont, is it that my floppy disk is fuck up? anyone ;)
[07:31] <wols> pha|con: but you said sysv, why?
[07:31] <metbsd> i tried netbsd, its kde package has permission issue
[07:32] <pha|con> wols: because i was thinking one thing while typing another
[07:32] <user_> oups sry fot the F word :)
[07:32] <metbsd> so i free 8 g to try kubuntu
[07:32] <metbsd> hoping it to not fck up my laptop
[07:32] <wols> user_: maybe fd0u1440 or such?
[07:32] <nosrednaekim> WOW! this channel is packed! (just came from #kubuntu)
[07:32] <freepenguin> www.freepenguin.it/index-en.html  if somebody want link each other..
[07:32] <pha|con> wols: i.e., thinking "ubuntu, redhat, et al run sysv" while trying to type out bsd
[07:32] <user_> wols: hmm
[07:32] <wols> metbsd: the proper *nix swear word is fsck not fck :)
[07:33] <wols> pha|con: almsot only slack stays with BSD afaik :)
[07:33] <Erich85> How do I mount an iso as though it were a CD?
[07:33] <wols> and more and more use grub
[07:33] <metbsd> grub is better
[07:33] <pha|con> wols: i don't like sysv as much as bsd, but i like grub a lot more than lilo
[07:33] <metbsd> will kubuntu work with my wireless card
[07:33] <user_> ohh yeah, it worked with one of the nearly teen floppys.. :D
[07:33] <pha|con> wols: i think i like bsd-style because that's what i learned first
[07:33] <nosrednaekim> metbsd: depends
[07:34] <metbsd> netbsd is actually very good
[07:34] <nosrednaekim> metbsd: whats the chipset?
[07:34] <wols> metbsd: which card?
[07:34] <metbsd> atheros ag5005
[07:34] <wols> !madwifi
[07:34] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:34] <nosrednaekim> metbsd: come over to #kubuntu
[07:34] <wols> metbsd: is what you need
[07:34] <metbsd> almost all laptop use this chipset
[07:34] <wols> metbsd: far from it
[07:34] <wols> centrine and broadcom is used a lot more
[07:35] <wols> broadcom by the power of dell and centrino is self explanatory :)
[07:35] <nosrednaekim> metbsd: please come over to #kubuntu, I can help you better there.
[07:35] <metbsd> why only 300 in kubuntu
[07:35] <lacrymology> can somebody help me?
[07:35] <pha|con> metbsd: if you're using 7.04 *buntu it should work out of the box...that's the chipset my laptop uses.
[07:35] <lacrymology> soundwave@Optimus:~$ sudo modprobe nvidia
[07:35] <lacrymology> FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[07:35] <wols> metbsd: many kubunut people come here
[07:35] <wols> and just cause it's 1000 people don't mean they have a clue :)
[07:35] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: mine uses that too... but madwifi doesn't work
[07:36] <metbsd> how do i check kubuntu version?
[07:36] <monouser1329906> hey
[07:36] <wols> !version
[07:36] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[07:36] <tsang> hi
[07:36] <michia> hey, how can i view my partition that i made in windows, its a non windows partition but its in ntfs
[07:36] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it's STILL not working :(:(:(:(.. i get the SAME error again.. while i saw that it installed the right module.. really weird stuff happening here
[07:36] <tsang> does ubuntu run on sparc32?
[07:36] <wols> *sigh*
[07:36] <wols> fuzzy_logic: any traces left of 9755? what does dpkg -l say about it?
[07:36] <pha|con> my wifi has worked out of the box for the past 3 releases
[07:36] <took> Hello I want to make changes to a directory without being root can I do that?
[07:37] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: whats your laptop?
[07:37] <monouser1329906> no
[07:37] <Viper550> took: no, unless you change the permissions, which require being root
[07:37] <pha|con> nosrednaekim: satellite m35
[07:37] <wols> took: only if you have permissions for it
[07:37] <musiq> Which program (which fits on a boot disk) should i use to format my entire hard disk, and than create partitions for ubuntu?
[07:37] <lacrymology> please help me? nvidia drivers not working on i386 specific kernels for some reason..
[07:37] <mc44> tsang: should do
[07:37] <pha|con> nosrednaekim: it sets at home behind my tv acting as a server now
[07:38] <took> I have permissions for it Im the only user of the computer.... I cant make any changes to the directly unless Im root which is annoying (its an mplayer folder)
[07:38] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: heh, my dad has the same computer.... but I don't think it has the AR5005G
[07:38] <metbsd> weird
[07:38] <mc44> tsang: at least, there is an ultrasparc server cd
[07:38] <fuzzy_logic> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26628/ it's all 9631
[07:38] <metbsd> i dl kubuntu, but it says ubuntu 7.04
[07:38] <lacrymology> took, what directory, and what's the filesystem?
[07:38] <tsang> ultrasparc = sparc64
[07:38] <pha|con> nosrednaekim: it's what i've got...there are subversion of the m35, tho.  mine's m35-s160-something
[07:39] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: ok..
[07:39] <wols> fuzzy_logic: modinfo nvidia
[07:39] <wols> and the xorg.log. paste both
[07:39] <Ayarcy> Where can I find documentation on setting up a local .deb package server?  The packaging guide on help.ubuntu.com only tells you how to make the .debs, not how to serve them.
[07:39] <user_> lol, one of teen floppys that finaly works, and now i have to burn boot image on it to start, and the take it and burn root image to use root, one floppy wor all tasks, huh..
[07:39] <metbsd> how do i install chinese fonts for kubuntu?
[07:39] <wols> you have 2 nvidia-kernel files. what are they?
[07:39] <wols> versions I mean
[07:40] <took> I want to paste some fonts in the mplayer font directory (/usr/share/mplayer/font/) however I cant see the paste option cannot be used in nautilus until I go with root privileges
[07:40] <fuzzy_logic> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26635/ xorg.log is coming
[07:40] <pha|con> nosrednaekim: on your restricted drivers list it doesn't list the atheros chipset driver?
[07:40] <eleytheross> when I use wget -cib url-list, and I get disconnected, it doesnt resume the job, why?
[07:40] <wols> took: fonts should be world readable I think. go to the terminal and use cp
[07:40] <GizDrak> does fdisk see gpt disk labels?
[07:40] <vzalez> hola
[07:41] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: oh yes, it does, but madwifi doesn't work. Trust me, i've worked for hours with the people over at #madwifi
[07:41] <pha|con> nosrednaekim: that's really weird
[07:41] <vzalez> hay alguin que quiera hablar un rato conmigo
[07:41] <wols> GizDrak: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu+gpt seems to say it can since around edgy
[07:41] <fuzzy_logic> wols: the xorg.log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26640/.. its pretty much the same as the old one i would say

[07:41] <nosrednaekim> *lost
[07:42] <nosrednaekim> *lots
[07:42] <pha|con> nosrednaekim:  guess i'm one of the lucky ones then
[07:42] <wols> fuzzy_logic: lsmod |grep nvidia. does it show loaded?
[07:42] <Erich85> wols:  What is dmesg or syslog?  The problem I'm finding is that there isn't a clear installation program that I can use on the CD.
[07:42] <lacrymology> ok, no
[07:42] <lacrymology> wait a second
[07:42] <wols> Erich85: dmesg is a nice program. syslog is a /var/log/syslog file
[07:42] <nosrednaekim> pha|con: guess so...
[07:42] <vzalez> haber si hay alguien que quiera conversar un rato en espaol

[07:44] <lacrymology> wols, modprobe nvidia tells me Error running install command for nvidia
[07:44] <took> how do I tell mplayer which font to use as subtitle?
[07:44] <Erich85> Ah, Beryl has made my Ubuntu experience unbelievably great.  It's hard to communicate how pretty it is to Windows users.
[07:45] <wols> lacrymology: self compiled?
[07:45] <cotyrothery> can anyone tell me how i make world of warcraft run on openGL
[07:45] <lacrymology> wols, apt-get'ted
[07:45] <wols> cotyrothery: winehq can
[07:45] <cotyrothery> ok
[07:45] <wols> lacrymology: and apt-gettted kernel too? both from ubunut.com or some autmatix, envy, etc stuff?
[07:46] <aquo> where can i find the xubuntu seeds for germinate?
[07:46] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it says Not loading nvidia_new module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.. that's because i use the envy driver now (it's not working well.. but its temporarily), but the strange thing is that it says nvidia_new.. don't you think?
[07:46] <wols> !effects | hup3
[07:46] <ubotu> hup3: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[07:46] <hup3> ok, tks
[07:46] <took> hello, how do I tell mplayer which font to use as subtitle?
[07:46] <lacrymology> wols, all from ubuntu.com. I'm thinking it might be: I'm running x86 ubuntu on an AMD64, and a i386 kernel
[07:46] <wols> fuzzy_logic: I have no clue about envy, neither do I support it. see the factoid
[07:46] <lacrymology> wols, maybe a generic kernel?
[07:46] <wols> lacrymology: no. that is fine
[07:46] <cotyrothery> wols: were on there site should i look?
[07:47] <dyrne> took: i know its a lot of output but mplayer --help will tell you i think
[07:47] <wols> lacrymology: are you using sudo?
[07:47] <lacrymology> wols, yes, yes
[07:47] <wols> cotyrothery: winehq.com and #winehq
[07:47] <fuzzy_logic> wols: it's not about envy.. it's about that it says that it isn't loading the nvidia_new module.. could that mean that there are still traces left of nvidia-glx-new??
[07:47] <wols> sudo modprobe nvidia?
[07:47] <dyrne> took: actually there is a default ttf file i think you can place
[07:47] <oscurochu> How do I change my screen resolution to 1280x960?

[07:53] <wols>           (it's not working well.. but its temporarily),
[07:53] <wols> lacrymology: is your nvidia driver loaded? check lsmod

[07:56] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i have now irc open in x.. so when i restart x it closes by itself
[07:56] <metbsd> detected by kernel already
[07:56] <wols> what kernel are you running?
[07:57] <wols> fuzzy_logic: how can you check X when you have vesa or nv in the xorg.conf?
[07:57] <chadeldridge> saintz0r:  make sure you have G++ installed as well
[07:57] <mc44> saintz0r: whats wrong with the version of libtorrent in the repos?
[07:57] <lacrymology> wols, I let apt-get and automatic updates to deal with that. It's a 2.6.20-16-386
[07:57] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i change it back to nvidia
[07:57] <stefg> lacrymology: if you install the *-lowlatency image is advisable to install the linux-restricted-modules-*-lowlatency as well
[07:57] <wols> saintz0r: apt-get install build-essential
[07:57] <TylerIsACow> I am having an awful time getting xvidcap to work on my x86_64 system does anybody know of a place I can simply download a deb that is compiled for 64 bit? I am on Fiesty 7.04
[07:57] <lacrymology> stefg, I don't want the lowlatency
[07:57] <lacrymology> I dont even know what it does
[07:58] <wols> lacrymology: more responsive for desktops
[07:58] <fuzzy_logic> wols: here is the output of my dpkg -l | grep nvidia: http://slexy.org/paste/3183
[07:58] <lacrymology> wols, in exchange for what? this is a development box
[07:58] <oscurochu> How do I change my screen resolution to 1280x1024? I tried to and the best screen resolution available in the drop list is 800x600.
[07:58] <stefg> !fixres | oscurochu
[07:58] <ubotu> oscurochu: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:59] <wols> lacrymology: it's for mmedia productin for example. usually latency goes for throughput
[07:59] <chadeldridge> oscurochu:  edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to include the 1280x1024 option
[07:59] <saintz0r> thanks you guys its working
[07:59] <saintz0r> >:D<
[07:59] <fuzzy_logic> wols: any idea what i should do now?
[07:59] <chadeldridge> np saint
[07:59] <lacrymology> wols, insmod says insmod: error inserting '/lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.20-15-386/nvidia/nvidia.mod.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module
[07:59] <wols> fuzzy_logic: apt-get install irssi, /connect irc.freenode.org, /join ubuntu
[07:59] <TylerIsACow> I assume by the lack of an answer that nobody knows about my xvidcap problem so here is another one: On every opengl application i run the video flickers does anybody have a fix for that?
[07:59] <tdoggette> flomius
[08:00] <wols> fuzzy_logic: runn that in a ctrl+alt+f2 console and use ctrl+at+f3 for running "startx"
[08:00] <chadeldridge> TylerIsACow:  more info please .. are you running Beryl ?
[08:00] <TylerIsACow> yes i am running beryl
[08:00] <metbsd> hey what's password for sudo?
[08:00] <chadeldridge> disable it .. see if you still have the issue
[08:00] <greyfrog> metbsd, your password
[08:00] <POVaddct> metbsd: your user password
[08:00] <TylerIsACow> alrighty one moment
[08:00] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i already have irssi.. but it's easier in X because then i can look things up on the internet too
[08:00] <stefg> !root | metbsd
[08:00] <ubotu> metbsd: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:00] <fuzzy_logic> wols: any ideas about my problem?
[08:00] <lacrymology> wols, ok, found the problem
[08:01] <lacrymology> wols, there's a lot of nvidia module but no nvidia.mod.o under -16-386
[08:01] <powhatanBob> what is a good utility to create and burn CD/DVD ISO images?
[08:01] <TylerIsACow> to turn off beryl is it good enough to just select another window manager out of the beryl-manager or do i have to kill the process entirely
[08:01] <chadeldridge> you can just select metacity or whatever
[08:01] <CoOlGhOsT> i need some help mounting a drive... it keeps changing placement in the /dev hierachy
[08:02] <HawkeV> mount via uuid
[08:02] <cgannon> anybody willing to give me a hand with setting up a working samba share? I'm running feisty and I've set up the share to a directory in my home dir. It's set to rw. When I try to mount the share in windows at //myip/Media (the name of the share, right?) I cannot authenticate. The dialog comes up, but I can't get past it despite using my correct username and password.
[08:02] <fuzzy_logic> wols: i have to go now.. i will come back asap.. i hope we will solve the problem then.. thanks for your help so far.. very much appreciated
[08:02] <wols> fuzzy_logic: you have rmmod nvidia and modrpobed it again?
[08:02] <CoOlGhOsT> HawkeV: I would love to if i knew how... can u give a hand?
[08:02] <CoOlGhOsT> HawkeV: its a new disk i just put in.
[08:02] <wols> cgannon: sudo smbpasswd sambauser
[08:02] <lacrymology> how do I remove old kernel images?
[08:02] <wols> make the name of it the same as your normal system user
[08:03] <CoOlGhOsT> HawkeV: its partioned and formatted
[08:03] <wols> lacrymology: with apt-get remove
[08:03] <stefg> cgannon: samba authentication by deafault is separate from login authentication. read man smbpasswd, and the !samba factoid
[08:03] <jharr> Is upstart suppose to eventually replace the init.d scripts?
[08:03] <cgannon> thanks much, all. I'll give it a try now.
[08:03] <powhatanBob> Is that HawkeV from thunderlord/strong spirits/mud?
[08:03] <wols> lacrymology: that is a problem which is why I'M a bit confused. I looked it up but couldn't find it either
[08:03] <HawkeV> no Bob, tisn't
[08:04] <powhatanBob> :(
[08:04] <HawkeV> nice to know that there's someone out there using my handle tho
[08:04] <HawkeV> heh
[08:04] <stefg> !samba | cgannon
[08:04] <ubotu> cgannon: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:04] <lacrymology> wols, I'll just uninstall the old kernels and try reinstalling nvidia
[08:04] <TylerIsACow> nope it doesn't flicker without beryl is there a way to get around it and still keep beryl cuz i want to play frets on fire (an opengl guitar hero knockoff) and beryl is just awesome. Or perhaps is there some way to automatically disable beryl when i run frets on fire but reenable it when i quit it
[08:04] <cgannon> I just want to say that I love you guys -so- much.
[08:04] <lacrymology> wols, and see what happens
[08:04] <marperez> ola
[08:04] <rustalot> How do I purge and reinstall Java on my computer?\
[08:04] <chadeldridge> you can automatically disable beryl with a script .. google it its easy to find
[08:04] <HawkeV> cgannon: this is #ubuntu, what did you expect?
[08:05] <TylerIsACow> thanks very much chadeldrige i shall do that
[08:05] <Sean> lol
[08:05] <cgannon> HawkeV: I'm a first time user of Ubuntu. I'm used to Gentoo and it taking hours to figure anything out.
[08:05] <n3rdism> gentoo LOL
[08:05] <wols> lacrymology: remove nvidia stuff first with apt-get remove --purge
[08:06] <cgannon> Gentoo has it's merits... But damn is Ubuntu awesome.
[08:06] <HawkeV> n3rdism: you use ubuntu, and you're saying LOL about gentoo?
[08:06] <mik3> is there an easy way to get w32codecs now or do i still need to get the .deb
[08:06] <nothingssomethin> hellow room i have a question
[08:06] <stefg> cgannon: rumour has ist that *ubuntu* is an ancient african saying for /tired of compiling gentoo/ :-)
[08:06] <CoOlGhOsT> HawkeV: are you going to help me a little or am I just waiting in vain?
[08:07] <neverblue> I updated this system last week (the one I pulled the HD out of, and added it to my current system) and when I rebooted, I got this error: 'crc error kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) ' :: i can read the system just fine, I think the update (might have been the update with the linux-headers, etc...) might have messed up my "boot sequence"?
[08:07] <nothingssomethin> what is your question
[08:07] <chadeldridge> you get that PM TylerIsACow ?
[08:07] <cgannon> stefg: haha. I think that might be it.

[08:12] <TheCreationist> Okay, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Feisty, but when trying to login to gnome, the screen goes completely white with just a mouse cursor.  I've tried removing all ~/.gnome* directories, but no luck.  I installed fluxbox and it works fine.  Anyone able to help with this?
[08:13] <neverblue> TheCreationist, still having issues?
[08:13] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Yes.
[08:13] <nothingssomethin> ok well are you fimilar with the Timex Data Link pda watch???##dotpavan##
[08:13] <neverblue> TheCreationist, in the cli, check dmesg
[08:13] <TheCreationist> neverblue: I got Fluxbox working just fine, though... it's gnome that doesn't work at all.
[08:13] <neverblue> I think that was my last post to you
[08:14] <neverblue> did you check dmesg?
[08:14] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Yes... no errors that I could see (other than referring to ata2)
[08:14] <neverblue> hmmm
[08:14] <dyrne> TheCreationist: i dont know what youve tried but id rm -fr ~/.gconf to make sure its not a profile issue
[08:14] <neverblue> is it showing in your processes?
[08:14] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Is what showing?
[08:15] <neverblue> what your trying to load
[08:15] <neverblue> so Gnome
[08:15] <TheCreationist> neverblue: I know that gnome is working under the white screen because I can hear my instant messanger making sounds as people log in and out.
[08:15] <wols> TheCreationist: create a new user and try it

[08:16] <neverblue> does your video card allow duals?
[08:16] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Not that I'm aware of.
[08:16] <neverblue> or do you have multiple video cards?

[08:17] <Snake007uk> yep
[08:17] <neverblue> ok
[08:17] <Snake007uk> bruenig got a link?
[08:17] <neverblue> can you see if the gdm is running?
[08:17] <bruenig> Snake007uk, there is none, you could probably get an alpha, go to #ubuntu+1
[08:18] <TheCreationist> neverblue: I'm in fluxbox... don't know anything about it yet.  One sec.

[08:19] <UberHalogen> Does 7.04 come with OpenSSH or is it available via apt-get?
[08:19] <nothingssomethin> ##dotpavan## i don't supose there is an gui for this , maybe something atteched but not connected

[08:19] <TheCreationist> neverblue: Okay, gdm is not currently running.
