[03:08] <ubotu> powernowd: control cpu speed and voltage using 2.6 kernel interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-1ubuntu7 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 120 kB
[03:08] <kye> it fails and wont load ubuntu
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> kye: Can we assume you installed it from the official repos
[03:09] <MrPiracy> robdig: ok, gonna try that now, brb
[03:09] <nickrud> kye, or, what is 'it' ?
[03:10] <Dr_willis_> adamonline46,  you can mount samba shares from the fstab, or manually.   I use the fuse samba tools mainly these days.. It makes it easier.
[03:10] <kye> all i did was enable my  ati accelarator then rebooted
[03:10] <kye> then i got that

[03:11] <Dr_willis_> adamonline46,  theere are several books in the 'samba-doc' package that give lots of examples on using samba as well.
[03:11] <kye> i get a etc/rc2.d/s20powernowd 156: cannot create sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0//cpufreq/scaling_govenor dir non existant

[03:12] <morst> thx
[03:12] <biff420> anyone: what is the best way to attempt to play windows games (COD4, Supreme Commander, Steam) on Ubuntu 7.10?
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> kye: My question had a simple yes or no answer..
[03:13] <kye> Jack_Sparrow: installed what? ubuntu?
[03:13] <kye> ys from the webpahe
[03:13] <kye> webpage*
[03:14] <Rufus_> I've installed adesklets through the synaptic package manager, how do i launch the adesklets manager?
[03:14] <WaY> BlaenkDenum but limewire doesnt search in emule network, isnt it?
[03:14] <BlaenkDenum> WaY: no, gnutella
[03:14] <BlaenkDenum> and I said frostwire, use that instead of limewire (they're pretty much identical, read up on why they're different)
[03:15] <phalacee> Its a shame Ship-it doesn't ship Ubuntu for PPC anymore ...
[03:15] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, that's a standard ubuntu startup script ...
[03:15] <Konam> Hi
[03:15] <biff420> hey Konam
[03:16] <WaY> thanks BlaenkDenum
[03:16] <BlaenkDenum> WaY: you're welcome
[03:16] <Konam> I'm trying to have the same /home after an ubuntu install, i use the same login and passwd but when the install is finished and i log in a message pops up and tell me that i don't have the permisions to use that home (even though i can log in, actually), how do i change that?
[03:17] <Dr_willis_> Konam,  You may need to chown the /home/whatevertheusernameis dir  if the uids have changed
[03:17] <nickrud> Konam, when you log in, what directory are you in?
[03:17] <Willabee> does anyone know how to set up japanese IME in gutsy/
[03:17] <macd> Konam, from within /home "sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser/*"
[03:17] <Dr_willis_> Konam,  ive never had issues with remaking the same user.  the old /home is from a ubuntu install ?
[03:18] <WaY> ok, you have to pay for limewire :)
[03:18] <Dr_willis_> Konam,  now if the /home was from a Different Disrto. that can cause issues ive found. :)
[03:18] <Konam> Dr_willis_ no, is from another ubuntu install
[03:18] <Dr_willis_> WaY,  well limewire wants $$$ :) They never got any from me.
[03:18] <Konam> the macd command should make it
[03:18] <nickrud> Konam, the system uses numbers to identify the owner, and translates that to names from /etc/passwd. If the user you're keeping is not the first one you created on the prior install, then the numbers are gonna be different
[03:19] <biff420> has anyone had success getting the NVIDIA 169.07 driver to install and if so, are they any better than the original restricted drivers?
[03:19] <Konam> nickrud is the first, i create it during the ubuntu install
[03:19] <WaY> ahaha Dr_willis_
[03:19] <nickrud> Konam, as you say, macd's command will fix it anyway
[03:20] <blind> Alright, was having a load of trouble with my Linksys v4 WMP54G Wireless card... ubuntu actually stopped booting, stuck at "configuring network interfaces" -- also tried in recovery mode, but to no avail. So I've taken the card out, and have booted ubuntu, but I'm curious... what do I need to do to get this card to work? (while it isn't installed)

[03:22] <MrPiracy> robdig: same .... no luck
[03:22] <blind> !lamp > singalong
[03:22] <SingAlong> Can the synaptic package manager do the job for me?
[03:22] <nickrud> SingAlong, install apache2 , php5 , and mysql-server-5.0
[03:22] <blind> singalong, check out the pm from ubotu :D
[03:22] <SingAlong> Thats what I want... :) I am a noob on ubuntu.. Firsttimer
[03:23] <robdig> MrPiracy: bummer...maybe someone else can help then
[03:23] <SingAlong> Thanx blind.. :)
[03:23] <Nasari> Hey! I also just installed Ubintu! [I'm total new to Linux] is there is anyone who can help me get started?
[03:24] <SingAlong> And also... which is the media player for ubuntu that can play all the formats?
[03:24] <MrPiracy> robdig: yeah, it seems to be impossible to get this intel board working properly on gutsy
[03:24] <SingAlong> I want to play DVDs, FLVs, MOVs, and RM formats also
[03:24] <katie> Nasari, what do you need to do?
[03:25] <biff420> Sing:  I'm using the default Rythmbox and it seems to work fine...nothing fancy though
[03:25] <soldats> SingAlong, vlc should come with most if not all codecs
[03:25] <std> how do i ripl DOS from rpld?
[03:25] <MrPiracy> robdig: was going to install some games now, but i think it's gonna b impossible with these settings
[03:25] <robdig> MrPiracy: do you have the 945GM/GMS/GME?
[03:25] <RickX> can anyone tell me if I m using a gtk theme under windowmaker if I am using a gtk-engine?
[03:25] <SingAlong> But the Rythmbox says it cannot play due to unavailability of codecs... How do I get the codecs?
[03:25] <MrPiracy> robdig: 946gz intel onboard
[03:25] <soldats> SingAlong, look in synaptic for the codecs you need
[03:26] <biff420> Sing: sorry didn't know you meant movies...thought it was just music
[03:26] <SingAlong> soldats: But I used VLC on my Windows PC... it does not handle playlists well.... Is it the same with linux version too?
[03:26] <Nasari> Yes, are there any programs, files updates I should run?
[03:26] <robdig> MrPiracy: hmm...mine has worked pretty good...agree that without X working well, games are probably not worth it now
[03:26] <Artfullynot> Anyone know what chan all the Sauer players are at?
[03:27] <std> how do i ripl DOS from rpld?
[03:27] <SingAlong> soldat... Will it download and instal it automatically for me? I mean if I select it will it do the rest of the job?
[03:27] <abdulla> Peace and Greetings to ALL
[03:27] <std> how do i ripl DOS from rpld?
[03:27] <MrPiracy> robdig: which chipset do u ahve?
[03:27] <soldats> SingAlong, fpr playlist use a cli based or use rhythmbox or amarok or another gui based one, but when you eed codes open synaptic package manager and do a search for codecs
[03:27] <bruenig> std, calm down
[03:27] <Rufus_> ive downloaded adesklets, downloaded a desklet for it through the installer, now how do i launch it?
[03:27] <robdig> MrPiracy: 945GM/GMS/GME
[03:27] <MrPiracy> can u send me ur xorg.conf file?
[03:27] <MrPiracy> robdig:  can u send me ur xorg.conf file?
[03:27] <Nasari> where do you find synaptic package mngr?
[03:27] <robdig> MrPiracy: sure, just a sec
[03:28] <Willabee> can anyone help me with being able to type in japanese in gutsy
[03:28] <Rufus_> nasari, just type synaptic in the terminal
[03:28] <std> how do i ripl DOS from rpld?
[03:28] <Nasari> ok, thanks!
[03:28] <nickrud> Nasari, system->admin->synaptic
[03:28] <biff420> Nasari: System>Admiin
[03:28] <biff420> damn beat me
[03:28] <Rufus_> ive downloaded adesklets, downloaded a desklet for it through the installer, now how do i launch it?
[03:28] <Rufus_> anyone?
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> std: Do you have a ubuntu related question?
[03:29] <std> Jack_Sparrow: yes this is...
[03:29] <biff420> Are the restricted NVIDIA drivers better/worse than the ones on the NVIDIA site?
[03:29] <bruenig> biff420, same
[03:29] <rsk> biff420: same
[03:29] <biff420> bru, rsk: why the wierd version number?
[03:30] <nickrud> biff420, better because they are integrated into the system properly
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> std: THen you need to explain the problem or question in more detail rather than repeating the same thing over and over
[03:30] <std> how do i ripl DOS from rpld?
[03:30] <Rufus_> can someone help me?
[03:30] <bruenig> not better per se, you can get them from the website and integrate them just the same
[03:30] <astro76> std, perhaps no one is answering because no one knows what you are talking about
[03:30] <nickrud> std, you might try rephrasing the question, maybe a little more detail.
[03:30] <phalacee> other than the fact that Microsoft is a bunch of anal-dwelling butt monkeys, is there any reason i can't use the standard windows fonts on my Ubuntu boxen?
[03:30] <katie> Rufus, with what?
[03:30] <biff420> Any reason why I am getting a pixel 2.0 error when trying to launch Supreme Commander through wine?
[03:31] <biff420> I have the restricted driver installed
[03:31] <Rufus_> ive downloaded adesklets, downloaded a desklet for it through the installer, now how do i launch it?
[03:31] <Rufus_> that^
[03:31] <phalacee> biff Direct-x version mismatch?
[03:31] <nickrud> biff420, for wine apps, #winehq is usually better
[03:31] <katie> rufus - ill look
[03:31] <worthawholebean> Hmm... I need the ati drivers, what package are they in?
[03:31] <nickrud> biff420, except when a winer is around :)
[03:31] <std> Jack_Sparrow: I need to know how to ripl DOS from ubuntu.
[03:31] <biff420> thanks nick
[03:31] <nickrud> worthawholebean, system->admin->restricted manager
[03:32] <worthawholebean> nickrud, that would be nice if X would start
[03:32] <robdig> MrPiracy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49763/
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> std: I have no idea what ripl is or does..
[03:32] <Krumar> hey, i just got a tuner card with a radio in it, does anyone know what program i could use to play it?
[03:32] <nickrud> worthawholebean,   oh, you have one of the 1xxx series?
[03:32] <worthawholebean> nickrud, x1600
[03:33] <JoeThomas> Is there anyway to change the font of tty? Not so much size but actual style? a TTF font file or something?
[03:33] <katie> Rufus, yeah, there should be a script or something similar in the directory for the desklet that you can run
[03:33] <Nasari> so, if I want a mp3 codec I look it up in the Synaptic package manager?
[03:33] <std> Jack_Sparrow: Remote Initial Program Load.
[03:33] <bewst> anyone here familiar with the ubuntu kernels and their installed config files?
[03:33] <nickrud> worthawholebean, what you need to do is log into the console, and edit (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf )  Look for "ati" , and change to "fgrlx"
[03:33] <MrPiracy> robdig: would it be too much to ask u to post ur glxinfo as well?
[03:34] <nickrud> worthawholebean, erm, "fglrx" that is, typos matter
[03:34] <worthawholebean> nickrud, I use vi :D
[03:34] <hypno> es
[03:34] <erne_4> ayuda
[03:34] <nickrud> worthawholebean, ah, cool. Just change the driver and you can get in
[03:35] <worthawholebean> nickrud, no instances of ATI
[03:35] <worthawholebean> or ati for that matter
[03:35] <nickrud> worthawholebean, what is it, "vesa" ?
[03:35] <worthawholebean> yep
[03:35] <nickrud> worthawholebean, change that
[03:35] <ogre> hey guys. what do i type into terminal to figure out how much disk space I hae left?
[03:36] <phalacee> I'd like to install the True Type fonts I have on my windows machine onto my Ubuntu 7.04 system, how do I do that
[03:36] <phalacee> ogre, df -h
[03:36] <astro76> !fonts | phalacee
[03:36] <ubotu> phalacee: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[03:36] <nickrud> phalacee, place them in /home/<you>/.fonts , make the dir if needed
[03:36] <phalacee> ogre, that will tell you the size, space remaining and % used
[03:37] <phalacee> thanx astro76  and nickrud
[03:37] <worthawholebean> nickrud, no module fglrx
[03:37] <ogre> phalacee,  thanks alot
[03:37] <Nasari> Hey, I have pritty bad eyesight, is there anyway to make the text alittle bit larger, I'm on Pidgen
[03:38] <nickrud> worthawholebean, sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[03:38] <robdig> MrPiracy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49764/
[03:38] <worthawholebean> nickrud, wait, gotta fix network first (probably should have said that this is virtualized)
[03:38] <nickrud> worthawholebean, what virtualization?
[03:39] <nickrud> worthawholebean, things are different virtualized
[03:39] <worthawholebean> nickrud, parallels
[03:39] <blind> Can anyone help me install a linksys WMP54G (version 4.1)? modprobing rt2500 worked the first time, had some problems, took it out, turned it on, turned it off, put it back in, and now it's like it's not even there.
[03:39]  * worthawholebean needs to avoid the XY problem when asking for help
[03:39] <nickrud> worthawholebean, never used that one, so my instructions are probably incorrect
[03:39] <otto_> is there a simple firewall like packetfilter for freebsd?  something I can just turn on in the default ubuntu-server
[03:39] <otto_> or does it already have a sort of firewall on?
[03:39] <worthawholebean> nickrud, x just started :D
[03:39] <MrPiracy> robdig: thank you very much
[03:39] <Dr_willis_> !firewall
[03:39] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[03:39] <robdig> MrPiracy: np
[03:40] <phalacee> nickrud, if I want to make the fonts accessible by all system users, where do I place them then?
[03:40] <otto_> of course...iptables
[03:40] <Dr_willis_> otto_,  ive seen some firewall 'wizard scripts' also befor. But never used them.
[03:40] <Nasari> So, there is no way to make the text larger?
[03:40] <nickrud> phalacee, /usr/share/fonts/truetype , create a dir there
[03:40] <MrPiracy> robdig: someone told me here once that when you see MESA being used is because u dont have 3D accel enabled, is it true?
[03:40] <Dr_willis_> otto_,  all they do is ask a bunch of questions and generate the right iptables commands.
[03:40] <phalacee> /usr/local/share/fonts ?
[03:40] <robdig> MrPiracy: i don't know
[03:40] <Willabee> i can't get the scim toolbar to show up on the screen, can anyone help/
[03:41] <noelferreira> can i use vnc outside lan with a dyndns account?
[03:41] <simonova> what can I do to recover from  GRUB boot error 22?
[03:41] <nickrud> phalacee, might very well work, a sec. I keep telling people to use local for their stuff, and what do I say :)
[03:41] <blind> noelferreira, yes. are you behind a router?
[03:41] <noelferreira> yes blind
[03:41] <otto_> Dr_willis_, I can just turn on PF in freebsd by setting pf_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf...anything like that for ubuntu?
[03:41] <blind> you're going to need to forward your ports first then.
[03:41] <MrPiracy> robdig: ur xorg.conf is a bit different
[03:41] <noelferreira> what are them blind?
[03:41] <MrPiracy> robdig: i'm gonna try something here, brb
[03:41] <nickrud> phalacee, yes, fontconfig will look in /usr/local/share/fonts
[03:42] <blind> check out http://portforward.com and click on "port forwarding"
[03:42] <crtjstr> has anyone ever seen an install completely shut down the pc during the cleanup phase?
[03:42] <noelferreira> blind: i mean the number of the port :)
[03:42] <phalacee> thanks nickrud
[03:42] <noelferreira> or ports blind :)
[03:42] <malva1> semarang
[03:42] <phalacee> now, to get those fonts I need
[03:42] <sdre1> i just enabled the restricted drivers in 7.10 and restarted. when it booted i got "kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block" can anyone help me?
[03:42] <otto_> all the google results comparing iptables and pf are so old :(
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> crtjstr: only a laptop that overheated
[03:43] <blind> noelferreira, whatever ports you set the server to run on. the defaults are listed on portforward.com (i dont know them off the top of my head)
[03:43] <otto_> does ubuntu-server's default install have any sort of firewalling turned on?
[03:43] <simonova> does anyone know how to handle grub error 22?
[03:43] <blind> Can anyone help me install a linksys WMP54G (version 4.1)? modprobing rt2500 worked the first time, had some problems, took it out, turned it on, turned it off, put it back in, and now it's like it's not even there.
[03:43] <nickrud> otto_, no
[03:44] <crtjstr> Jack_Sparrow: this is a desktop, and i turned off acpi, module and bios - that's why it confused me.
[03:44] <freak_> does anybody know how to install using debootstrap, i can't get it to use an http proxy.
[03:46] <MrPiracy> robdig: u there?
[03:46] <robdig> MrPiracy: yes
[03:46] <SingAlong> How can I change from KDE to gnome?
[03:46] <SingAlong> I am a noob..
[03:47] <blind> singalong, have you installed gnome?
[03:47] <MrPiracy> robdig: i found something here ... OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1)
[03:47] <SingAlong> That comes with ubuntu...
[03:47] <SingAlong> default..
[03:47] <MrPiracy> robdig: yours is OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.0.1
[03:47] <blind> Well if you're in KDE, I figured you might have installed kubuntu.
[03:47] <robdig> MrPiracy: interesting. i'm on gutsy, are you
[03:47] <blind> but, when at the login screen, click on "sessions" and gnome should be listed.
[03:47] <SingAlong> blind: I installed ubuntu. I have gnome as default. I want KDE
[03:47] <MrPiracy> robdig: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM 20061017 x86/MMX/SSE2
[03:48] <blind> OH, you want KDE. you said switch from kde to gnome.
[03:48] <MrPiracy> robdig: this is ur renderer string ... looks specific to ur card while mine looks generic
[03:48] <SingAlong> blind: How to install KDE ...
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: install the kubuntu-desktop
[03:48] <SingAlong> blind: How?
[03:48] <MrPiracy> robdig: just says ....  Mesa GLX Indirect
[03:48] <blind> singalong: are you familiar with synaptic?
[03:48] <MrPiracy> robdig: yes, i'm on gutsy, all updates applied
[03:48] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: Thats what I want to know? :) I told u I am a noob... I am a first timer
[03:48] <SingAlong> blind: yeah...
[03:49] <blind> SingAlong: find kubuntu-desktop inside synaptic and install it. then at the login screen, click sessions, and KDE should be there.
[03:49] <genii> freak_: Good resources here (just ignore the encryption parts) http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/
[03:49] <Xplicit> can you use raid inside an lvms e.g i have a partition in lvms and want to raid it to a second hd
[03:49] <tarelerulz> where are the files that goverent vnc ? in ubuntu 7.10 ?
[03:49] <robdig> MrPiracy: hmm, wonder if the intel driver is pulling the later version of opengl?
[03:49] <SingAlong> blind:The last time I tries using synaptic... I messed up and kde didnt install... instead I got a command line version of ubuntu :)
[03:49] <MrPiracy> robdig: i guess i should try to upgrade this MESA thing then
[03:49] <phalacee> I'll be back shortly, just doing some financial management
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop      if you prefer using a cli or terminal session
[03:49] <SingAlong> blind: Should I log off and login after I install it?
[03:49] <robdig> MrPiracy: sounds reasonable
[03:49] <Nasari> Whats better, Gnome or KDE?
[03:49] <tarelerulz> I get vnc now ,but it comes up with a gray screen which is not useful at all
[03:50] <blind> Nasari: neither.
[03:50] <robdig> Nasari: whichever one YOU like is better
[03:50] <Nasari> pritty subjective eh?
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Nasari: Different only
[03:50] <blind> Nasari, they're just different clothes for the same person.
[03:50] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: I have a 150kbps connection. How many hours will it take for me to install KDE?
[03:50] <worthawholebean> ok nickrud, i'm good now, thanks for the help
[03:50] <MrPiracy> robdig: www.mesa3d.org it says there's a version 7.0.2 released
[03:51] <Nasari> ah, ok, thanks
[03:51] <nickrud> worthawholebean, what driver did you use?
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: no idea.. but awhile...
[03:51] <robdig> MrPiracy: hmm...
[03:51] <worthawholebean> nickrud, vesa is working for now... no idea why, installing fglrx now
[03:51] <blind> Can anyone help me install a linksys WMP54G (version 4.1)? modprobing rt2500 worked the first time, had some problems, took it out, turned it on, turned it off, put it back in, and now it's like it's not even there.
[03:51] <nickrud> worthawholebean, :)

[03:51] <MrPiracy> robdig: yeah, way to go  .... version history says: Added checking/support for additional chips in the i915/i945 family (see 11978)
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: yes
[03:52] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: more than 30 minutes?
[03:52] <Josspyker_> blind: rt 2500 and gutsy
[03:52] <robdig> MrPiracy: cool
[03:52] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow:  or more than 1 hour?
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: It installs alot of things...  I cant guess at how long it will take you
[03:52] <qukk> Hi there; once I enter Ubuntu installation my keyboard doesn't work. Is there any way I can... fix this?
[03:52] <freak_> genii am i missing it, i don't see anything about a proxy on that page
[03:52] <MrPiracy> robdig: will get it installed then i tell u what happens
[03:53] <robdig> MrPiracy: ok. hope it works for you
[03:53] <nickrud> SingAlong, i don't have any kde at all, and it seems kubuntu-desktop wants about 221 megs downloaded
[03:53] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: I am using Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn. I have a kubuntu 6.06 CD
[03:53] <SingAlong> nickrud: Can I install KDE from the Kubuntu CD?
[03:53] <genii> freak_: How are you currently calling the debootstrap command?
[03:53] <nickrud> SingAlong, no, the releases don't match. Feisty is 7.04
[03:54] <Nasari> I just got up and running, say i want to install flashplayer for firefox, is there an easy way of accomplishing this?
[03:54] <SingAlong> nickrud: Oh.. Thats what I was wondering about...   :)
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: You can have both complete on the same hard drive and select the one you want from grub at boot.
[03:54] <kuman> fanluigi
[03:54] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: But the kubuntu CD seems to be having some problem.. so I am not able to install :(
[03:55] <SingAlong> Thats why I am only able to import the programs using synaptic... I think so..
[03:55] <Nasari> [also, I have bad eyesight, is there anyway I can make the chat here somewhat larger?
[03:55] <nickrud> Nasari, what irc client?
[03:55] <freak_> genii as root i am doing export http_proxy="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080" and then debootstrap --arch i386 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/Release
[03:55] <Nasari> I'm using Pidgion
[03:55] <Dr_willis_> Nasari,  depends on the irc client You are using. Or if using compiz  You can enable the zoom feature.
[03:55] <blind> Can anyone help me install a linksys WMP54G (version 4.1)? modprobing rt2500 worked the first time, had some problems, so i took it out, turned the machine on, turned it off, put the card back in, and now it's like it's not even there, even after modprobing rt2500 again.
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong: All the more reason to not use KDE.. I had issuse with KDE and have been happy with gnome... but I must go for tonight...  take care all..
[03:56] <Dr_willis_> Zoom feature in compiz is... handy
[03:56] <tom___> I have recently switched to ubuntu -- there are a lot of people on my msn list that I used to do voice chat with.  Is there a way to do voice chat with msn users?  Is there a reason aMSN hasn't implemented this?
[03:56] <genii> freak_: Examine the line he uses: sudo debootstrap --include="language-pack-en,language-pack-en-base,dmsetup,cryptsetup,hashalot,initramfs-tools,nano" --components=main,universe --verbose --arch i386 feisty /mnt http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/scripts/feisty
[03:56] <nickrud> Nasari, don't know that one, but if you install xchat you can (better for irc anyway, posts with your name in them will be red and be easy to find)
[03:56] <SingAlong> Guys can u please tell me which is the channel for knoppix? (sorry for asking this)...
[03:56] <Nasari> Heh, I'll check out xchat
[03:56] <blind> Singalong: #knoppix
[03:56] <Vern> lol
[03:56] <nickrud> Dr_willis, what's the keystroke for zoom?
[03:57] <SingAlong> blind: Thanks blind

[03:59] <freak_> genii i figured out what my problem was thanks to you, i reexamined what i did exactly and realized that i had sudo debootstrap ... not debootstrap... so the environment variable http_proxy didn't get read
[03:59] <genii> freak_: Glad you sorted it out :) It's installing now?
[04:00] <freak_> genii anyway... thanks for asking the question. definitely helped me figure out the problem. i knew it was probably something stupid.
[04:00] <freak_> genii yea, it is installing.
[04:00] <qukk> Um, hello! I'm trying to install Ubuntu server edition, and my keyboard isn't responding when trying to install from the CD. It works on the splash screen, but stops working at the language select screen. It is an old-style AT keyboard. Num-lock even stops working... Can anyone kindly help with this?
[04:00] <jimmygoon> Anyone ever dealt with an xfat driver?
[04:00] <genii> freak_: You can run the tasksel after, thats what I usually do
[04:01] <freak_> genii i was wondering one other thing maybe you know. does debootstrap use signatures to verify the packages i'm installing have not been tampered with?

[04:04] <freak_> ubotu i don't use amsn, but if they don't have it (and i don't think they do) the reason it does not have voice chat with msn users is microsoft uses proprietary protocols. best thing to do is get them to use an sip client, or some other voice chat software that is more friendly with linux. i just stopped communicating that way when i switched to linux... that and get some linux friends to solve the problem.
[04:04] <qukk> Well... I fixed my own problem. using fb=false I made my keyboard work during installation. Is there anywhere I can go to make this available for other people to find?
[04:04] <Nasari> ok, restrictions don't apply, is there a packet or something I can just download it from, or do i need to install it manually?
[04:06] <otto_> is there  a way to comment out the cdrom repository from the command line without editing?

[04:12] <Nasari> ok, sorry for all these questions an all, but I have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to linux. I have downloaded the  flashplayer.tar.gz file - how do I unpack it?
[04:12] <J_A_X> the port should be forwarded properly as well
[04:13] <goldphish> robdig: hmm, correct it's not there.  How is this possible?

[04:18] <Nasari> No, but I figured that instaling flash will help with with the general concept of installing packages
[04:18] <burger> have a program that run when I execute from its folder.  I'm assuming I can move that folder to /usr/local type place and have it available from anywhere.  How would I change my PATH to look an executable in a folder?  And thanks for any help.

[04:26] <Xplicit> hdevalence: no we cant use the permisions AFAIK
[04:26] <blind> nickrud, totally worked. thanks man
[04:26] <bio> Nasari, I can give you step by step if you need
[04:26] <nickrud> blind, yw. But don't even think of asking me to help you set up the wireless, you'd be wasting your time :)
[04:26] <noelferreira> blind: should i open a udp or tcp port for vnc?
[04:26] <Xplicit> is it possible to use a Fat partition as home? if you use the fat + permision format?
[04:26] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons?

[04:28] <nickrud> blind, I 'blindly' used bcm43xx driver in restricted manager, it worked, I kissed my cd
[04:28] <bio> Nasari, for future, #tar xvf filename
[04:28] <Gnea> Xplicit: although, if you were to somehow load /home as a SAMBA slice...
[04:28] <bio> is good
[04:28] <FunnyMan3595> i.e. What DHCP program is Ubuntu using?
[04:29] <Gnea> Xplicit: then NTFS would be better for that
[04:29] <Nasari> I have a question, I use VLC player with windows, if i install it on this linux platform, will it also all of the codecs as well?
[04:29] <Gnea> FunnyMan3595: ps axf | grep dhcp
[04:29] <bio> Nasari, that's x-tract v-erbose f-file something like that... extracts it into the folder
[04:29] <leku> hey
[04:29] <blind> nickrud, well linksys has the ralink chipset (at least this version claims to), so it should just work after modprobing rt2500... but we'll see.
[04:29] <leku> got a question on resizing my partitions with gparted
[04:29] <bio> Nasari, perhaps
[04:29] <Khajavi> I have question: I need software to create repository and delete my old packages. managing old and new packages
[04:29] <hdevalence> in this case it's a friend of mine who wants to have r/w acess to /home from Windows
[04:29] <Nasari> bio for the win!
[04:29] <leku> i have 44g unallocated and I want to grow my NTFS partition on /dev/sda1 from 24g to 50g
[04:30] <astro76> Nasari, it's the same, except I think you still need to install libdvdcss2 for encrypted DVDs
[04:30] <bio> Nasari, you can get libxine-extracodecs something like that
[04:30] <leku> i try to do sudo ntfsresize -S 50G /dev/sda1
[04:30] <nickrud> blind, if it works when the module is modprobed, but not when you boot, add the module name on a line by itself in /etc/modules
[04:30] <bio> *might have to get
[04:30] <bio> does VLS use xine?
[04:30] <leku> but it says the new size cant be bigger than the device size and i need to enlarge device size using fdisk
[04:30] <leku> first
[04:30] <bio> or like gstreamer or somehting
[04:30] <leku> so do i go into fdisk and do that?
[04:30] <leku> im' worried i'm going to ruin my windows partition
[04:30] <bio> VLC that is
[04:31] <Gnea> leku: right - you need to use fdisk to remanage the MBR so that the disk itself knows where to expand beyond the current barrier
[04:31] <Nasari> I get get libxine-extracodecs with synaptic?
[04:31] <Xplicit> can gutsy use UMSDOS? or would it require major work?
[04:31] <bio> Nasari, you can, still not sure if VLC uses xine
[04:31] <leku> ok gnea
[04:31] <leku> so i just go use fdisk and make the thing larger
[04:31] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:31] <leku> then use ntfsresize?
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !find libxine
[04:31] <ubotu> Found: libxine-dev, libxine1, libxine1-dbg, libxine1-doc, libxinerama-dev (and 9 others)
[04:32] <bio> Nasari, the command line (terminal) is sweet though, I got throw-back neon green on black
[04:32] <nickrud> bio, no it doesn't use xine libs
[04:32] <Gnea> leku: you also might want to look at gparted and ntfs-3g
[04:32] <leku> gparted wont let me
[04:32] <bio> nickrud, what does VLC use?
[04:32] <Gnea> leku: are you familiar with the linux fdisk at all?
[04:32] <Nasari> what about the command line?
[04:32] <astro76> bio, VLC uses it's own code
[04:33] <leku> yep
[04:33] <bio> oh
[04:33] <leku> seasoned linux guy
[04:33] <SuperQ> Mmmm.. curry
[04:33] <astro76> bio, and low level libs
[04:33] <nickrud> bio, it uses itself
[04:33] <bio> I've never really liked VLC, you guys like?
[04:33] <SuperQ> leku: first kernel?
[04:33] <leku> huh?
[04:33] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:34] <SuperQ> leku: what was the kernel on the first linux you used?
[04:34] <leku> i'm trying to resize a partition :)
[04:34] <astro76> bio, there is yet to be a perfect media player, but most people consider VLC the swiss army knife ;)
[04:34] <leku> 1.2.13
[04:34] <nickrud> bio, works better for dvd's than anything else I've tried, I've kinda shifted over for everything now
[04:34] <leku> maybe earlier than that
[04:34] <SuperQ> Ahh, those were the good ol days
[04:34] <leku> but thats all i remember
[04:34] <SuperQ> yea
[04:34] <Gnea> leku: it's pretty simple then: just make sure that sda1 begins on the same sector/cylinder that sda1 is currently set to, then change the end sector boundary to be greater than what it's currently set at (whatever the 50G limit is)
[04:34] <SuperQ> good ol slackware
[04:34] <leku> yep
[04:34] <leku> 24 floppies
[04:34] <EDinNY> What is the maximum size of a swap partition on an I86-64 machine?
[04:34] <astro76> bio, yeah I prefer it for DVDs too
[04:34] <Gnea> lol
[04:34] <nickrud> 2.0.something
[04:34] <leku> thanks gnea
[04:34] <bio> ah, I see, yeah, I use flash, realplayer, and xine-based stuff I guess
[04:34]  * leku nervous to break windows
[04:35] <SuperQ> I'm so glad I switched to Bo back in ~98
[04:35] <leku> Bo?
[04:35] <Nasari> What i'm looking for is a nice codec package, and was wondering if I download VLC is that a good option, or is there a better way?
[04:35] <SuperQ> Debian Bo
[04:35] <Xplicit> breaking windows is fun, just make sure ubuntu works 1st
[04:35] <leku> dunno what that is
[04:35] <biff420> anyone know how to set the xorg.conf so that I can get 640x480 with 256 colors?
[04:35] <leku> i've used debian plenty
[04:35] <Gnea> leku: gparted *should* be able to see that - if it can't resize the ntfs partition, then ntfsresize should - again, check out ntfs-3g though, as it has better linux compatibility and should be less risky
[04:35] <tritium> SuperQ, leku: there's #ubuntu-offtopic for chit-chat
[04:35] <nickrud> SuperQ, dropping names ? ;p
[04:35] <leku> gnea: i'm booted off of a live ubuntu cd
[04:36] <bio> Nasari, VLC probably is the most versatile single player from what I understand
[04:36] <leku> i'll reboot into linux now
[04:36] <Gnea> leku: right-o
[04:36] <bio> Nasari, are you looking for stand-alone or plug-in?
[04:36] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:36] <SuperQ> heh, sorry
[04:36] <Nasari> codecs
[04:36] <Nasari> or plugins/whatever
[04:36] <Shpook> So I guess installing KDE alongside Gnome is generally a bad idea?
[04:36] <bio> Nasari, for streaming or DVD?
[04:36] <leku> shpook: not at all
[04:36] <leku> i have had both
[04:37] <bio> Nasari, plug-in I mean like into firefox
[04:37] <Nasari> for mp3, mp4 div-x ect
[04:37] <chintan> i think vistacodec pack (if it is available on lin)
[04:37] <biff420> anyone know how to set the xorg.conf so that I can get 640x480 with 256 colors?

[04:37] <Xplicit> Shpook: its ok but there are problems
[04:38] <Xplicit> what happends in kde?
[04:38] <leku> shouldn't have anything to do with kde
[04:38] <leku> well
[04:38] <leku> if kde updated pidgen and firefox 2

[04:40] <ubotu> Blazer11: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:40] <biff420> how do i edit xorg.conf to get 640x480 @ 256 colors?
[04:40]  * robdig remembers 640X480...wasn't that the res for the original vga in the '80s?
[04:40] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:40] <biff420> robdig: and starcraft...hence the question
[04:40] <EDinNY> Nasari you want win32 or win64 codecs
[04:40] <_gtt_> how can i figure out why i'm unable to browse samba shares from one laptop on my network? the error reported is that it doesnt find any workgroups to join.
[04:41] <EDinNY> Nasari: there is a depository with them in it...you install them and mplayer, but vlc is a great alternative
[04:41] <Blazer11> ubotu ??
[04:41] <ActySofts> bump
[04:42] <robdig> biff420: system->preferences->screen resolution?
[04:42] <Shpook> leku: I'm using Firefox 3, but Firebug doesn't support it yet, and that's my main JS debugger lol

[04:42] <Shpook> And I JUST reformatted and reinstalled because I destroyed the last installation :-(
[04:42] <leku> man gparted is junk.. always seg faults
[04:42] <Nasari> OK, thanks
[04:42] <Xplicit> Shpook: doesnt support or says itdoesnt support?
[04:42] <leku> ahh ok shpook
[04:42] <leku> bummer.. b2 is so nice
[04:43] <biff420> robdig:isn't there a gui to edit xorg.conf?
[04:43] <gvsa123> i'm trying to play around with automated shutdown/restart. what command do i have to issue so that all running applications are ended before shutting down?
[04:43] <Shpook> Xplicit: doesn't support it....or at least won't install
[04:43] <leku> gvsa: the ubuntu init system will properly shutdown everythign for you
[04:43] <Shpook> leku: yeah, I'm in love with FF3b2
[04:43] <tritium> biff420: generally, one does "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure it
[04:43] <ActySofts> biff420: system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[04:43] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:43] <leku> wow gparted still wont let me resize this beast
[04:43] <nickrud> biff420, if you'll put your xorg.conf on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org I'll show you the changes necessary
[04:44] <EDinNY> gvsa123, "shutdown -r" reboots, "shutdown -h" halts
[04:44] <gvsa123> leku: but i noticed that there would be times when for example i left firefox minimized on another window, and i shutdown, the next time, i will be prompted that the session wasn't ended
[04:44] <Xplicit> Shpook: you can try installing it anyway by using extensions.checkCompatibility;false
[04:44] <biff420> nicrud: sure thing...maybe you can clean it up a bit...it looks like $hit
[04:44] <Blazer11> ubotu are u a linux god, cause i do have an issue, for real ultrasparc, video card on pci domain 0001, the xorg old chesnut, trying to figure out how to install xfree86 in gutsy, or debian etch
[04:44] <leku> gvsa: well applications like firefox don't relaly need to be properly shutdown
[04:44] <leku> everyting else that needs to has an init script
[04:44] <gvsa123> EDinNY: i have sudo shutdown -h now set to GShutdown
[04:44] <leku> so stuff running on your desktop, who really cares how it closes

[04:46] <biff420> nickrud: sorry.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49766/
[04:47] <biff420> nickrud: still new to this
[04:47] <tritium> Xplicit: it's far from pointless.  It keeps the noise down in the channel.
[04:47] <mwag> anyone know how to use cedega?
[04:47] <EDinNY> gvsa123, you HUP a process?  that usually just causes it to re-read its config file if it is a server
[04:47] <biff420> mwag: got to the #cedega channel
[04:47] <Xplicit> id of thought noise was less important than removing help from the channel
[04:47] <EDinNY> gvsa123: rather if it is a daemon
[04:47] <mwag> #cedega
[04:48] <tritium> Xplicit: we have a code of conduct as well.  He decided to be rude.
[04:48] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:48] <nickrud> biff420, change the Defaultdepth to 8 to use the 8 bit display
[04:48] <gvsa123> EDinNY: not really sure what the killall -SIGHUP does.. i just got it from the wiki of azureus.. it seems to work... i was wondering if i needed to issue a similar generalized command to close applications (i.e. pidgin, music players, open nautilus windows, Openoffice, etc...)
[04:48] <Shpook> Oh yeah, anyone else play with PulseAudio yet? Better yet, on a 64-bit system?
[04:48] <mwag> how do you join channels
[04:48] <Blazer11> help need a linux guru to help me with sunblade 1500, multi pci domain, xorg
[04:49] <alexandroid> hi all. I need help with installing Ubuntu on external HDD (WD passport 160). I've found several instructions over web, but my case seems to be a bit different and I am stuck. =) I am using Ubuntu 7.10 live DVD to boot from, ran install from it. I let it automatically partition the drive and told grub to install into sdb (which in my case was the external HDD). It seemed to work fine (my laptop HDD/MBR remain intact), except I can
[04:49] <ActySofts> mwag: type "/join #channel"
[04:49] <Xplicit> who was asking about getting firefox to shut down properly
[04:49] <biff420> nickrud: in the screen section?
[04:49] <gvsa123> EDinNY: i only used it because i noticed that not shutting down azureus nicely causes messages to appear the next time i use it...
[04:49] <EDinNY> gvsa123, I always log out before I reboot so firefox and other applications are not running
[04:49] <slugone> ive downloaded a linux game.....its a shell script....how do i install it
[04:49] <slugone> 1 file
[04:50] <nickrud> biff420, yes. You'll probably need to do it for both screens, I don't remember if X supports different bit depths on different screens, but don't think so
[04:50] <Gnea> slugone: which one?
[04:50] <Xplicit> theres a hack for firefox to get it to skip the popup dialog but is theres a way to get firefox to shutdown properly , loging out doesnt help me as kde restores sessions
[04:50] <slugone> beyond the red line
[04:50] <_gtt_> nickrud: it does
[04:50] <slugone> its based on freespace
[04:50] <slugone> 2
[04:50] <nickrud> _gtt_, thaks
[04:50] <biff420> nickrud: why is there more than one screen defined?...i only have one monitor
[04:51] <slugone> a battle star galactica

[04:51] <ActySofts> the icons on the human theme in the main menu are totally blurred, making them pretty hard to see what they are, while the other icon themes work fine. any ideas why ubuntu doesn't use the correct size for them and resizes the smaller icons? http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/17/screenshotps7.png
[04:51] <Gnea> *perk* battlestar galactica? *DOWNLOADS*
[04:51] <nickrud> biff420, I have no clue. Where'd you get it?
[04:51] <gvsa123> EDinNY: what about the killall command... there's an option to killall --user... does that mean that everything i opened/ran while i was logged in will be closed down neatly?
[04:51] <Shpook> Oh wait, I inspected further. My problems are related to PulseAudio and not KDE.
[04:51] <Shpook> E: authkey.c: failed to open cookie file '/home/shpook/.pulse-cookie': Permission deniedE: authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/home/shpook/.pulse-cookie': Permission denied*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refusedSegmentation fault (core dumped)
[04:51] <Blazer11> anyone have xfree86 working in gutsy
[04:51] <EDinNY> gvsa123, you want to log out before you reboot
[04:52] <tritium> Blazer11: no, Xorg
[04:52] <Shpook> So I think for the time being, I'll revert to ALSA, until PulseAudio has a 1.0.
[04:52] <nickrud> biff420, looking closer, I see you have nvidia defined for one and nv for the other. No clue about that, either. Never used nvidia
[04:52] <biff420> nickrud: it was generated that way when i installed the resticted NVIDIA driver
[04:52] <nickrud> biff420, oh, downloaded from nvidia?
[04:52] <EDinNY> gvsa123: some programs, like mail clients,  do some housekeeping when you shut them down
[04:52] <Blazer11> im in a pickle is there a way? tritium
[04:52] <biff420> nickrud: no just with ubuntu
[04:53] <tritium> Blazer11: why would you want to replace Xorg with Xfree?
[04:53] <biff420> nickrud: i have sli too...not sure how that fits in either...since only one device is defined
[04:53] <TigranG> Hi. Where are the gnome panel configuration files located?
[04:53] <nickrud> biff420, no clue then. Like I said, I don't have nvidia now and when I did it was a lowly 5200 and I never got anything similar to that
[04:53] <biff420> nickrud: no worries...ill find an example sli xorg.conf somewhere
[04:53] <gvsa123> EDinNY: ok.. but when you logout/reboot/shutdown, do open applications get shutdown the proper way also? or do they get "forced quit" or something
[04:53] <Gnea> slugone: try this: sh ./BtRLDemoInstaller.run
[04:53] <Blazer11> xorg does not scan past pci domain 0000, my graphics card is on 0001
[04:54] <biff420> nickrud: thanks for the help
[04:54] <Gnea> Blazer11: is the PCI ID set in the xorg.conf file?
[04:55] <hanasaki> i am running at 1440x900 resolution on a 19" monitor and all the windows/fonts are BIG how can I shrink them/scale them

[04:55] <Gnea> ogre: df -Th
[04:55] <nickrud> ogre, df -h
[04:55] <Blazer11> well sort of, its bus id is right but it is in domain 0001 which xorg does not see
[04:55] <EDinNY> gvsa123: oh, now I see what you mean.  you can do a logout shutdown.  Most programs close correctly and will start next time you log in...at least in kde...but some programs like Evolution like to be shut down before you reboot
[04:55] <ogre> thanks
[04:56] <gvsa123> EDinNY: for example, shutting down while openoffice is runnign will cause the unrecovered document recovery thing to pop out the next time you use OOo... and leaving an open nautilus window will cause the next reboot to have an open window already popped up
[04:56] <ridge-meister> what entry should i add to sources.list in order to install gbrainy?
[04:56] <Gnea> Blazer11: mkay, are you trying to do a dual-head display?
[04:56] <TigranG> Where are the gnome panel configuration files located?
[04:56] <Gnea> TigranG: usually in ~/.gnome2/
[04:56] <nickrud> TigranG, you would find them by running gconf-editor, and navigating the tree on the left to /apps/panel
[04:56] <sn00zer> does anyone here use a kvm switch? I'm having issues getting my laptop to display correctly(win xp) and at all (gutsy), laptop is widescreen, main monitor is fullscreen
[04:57] <TigranG> Gnea: thanks
[04:57] <gvsa123> EDinNY: yeah... so the command i was looking for was something that would for example, close all running programs like how they should before processing with the shutdown or reboot.... can i use the killall with that?
[04:57] <Gnea> sn00zer: yeah - who makes your kvm?
[04:57] <sn00zer> gnea: cables to go
[04:57] <slugone> Gnea it is working what does the SH command do ?
[04:57] <Shpoo1> Muah ha ha - Installed ESound, removed all PulseAudio libraries, and all segfaults are gone. I really wish I coulde use PulseAudio though.
[04:57] <EDinNY> gvsa123: sorry, have not tried that.  I close things before shutting down
[04:57] <Gnea> slugone: it executes the file as a shell script
[04:57] <Blazer11> no, im stuck because xorg will not scan multi pci domains, and xfree86 will, this what i found in ubuntu forums, but how do you use xfree86 when its not supported?
[04:58] <slugone> thx a mill
[04:58] <TigranG> Gnea: Where exactly in .gnome2?
[04:58]  * EDinNY goes to next room to install Linux
[04:58] <Gnea> Blazer11: you're still being vague - could you please pastebin the output of this command: lspci | grep VGA
[04:58] <gvsa123> EDinNY: welll thanks anyway
[04:58] <nickrud> TigranG, it's not in .gnome2 , it's under .gconf , but gconf-editor makes browsing that easy
[04:58] <Shpoo1> Alright, easy one now. Anyone remember how to fix the bug where xorg.conf doesn't save changes on restart?
[04:58] <Gnea> TigranG: sorry, my mistake - ~/.gconf/

[04:59] <sn00zer> gnea: in xp it shows up during boot but chops off edges since the resolutions are different, but once in xp i have to use it as an external and i can't set my main(secondary to xp) as primary, and with gutsy i get a black screen

[04:59] <LucidFox> I've configured Ubuntu Gutsy to use pulseaudio, but it constantly eats about 7% CPU when rhythmbox is playing. What am I doing wrong?

[04:59] <TigranG> nickrud: so I guess I'll check in ./gconf
[05:00] <LucidFox> adamonline46> smb://host/directory in nautilus
[05:00] <nickrud> TigranG, it' would be ~/.gonf/apps/panel , swap that dir

[05:01] <adamonline46> LucidFox: That's what I've got... I'm using an IP as a hostname, is that kosher?
[05:01]  * Gnea wonders wtf said "rm -rf ~/" in the first place
[05:01] <LucidFox> adamonline46> yes
[05:01] <nickrud> TigranG, you'd have to swap it around while logged out and gconfd-2 is not running; you can use gconftool to change keys while the daemon is running
[05:01] <sn00zer> gnea: its model #35555 if it helps
[05:02] <adamonline46> LucidFox: Shucks.  I'm not able to connect at all.  I've got the firewalls down on both machines...  Any ideas?
[05:03] <TigranG> nickrud: So I can use gconf-editor and navigate to apps/panel save that for the 2 setup, then have the script run gconftool and load the save configurations?
[05:03] <LucidFox> adamonline46> Stupid question, but can you access the same machine using other protocols? Does ping work?
[05:03] <besquare> ls
[05:03] <besquare> exit
[05:03] <KlrSpz> anyone familiar with bridging in ubuntu? trying to get my nic to bridge to my wireless and isn't seeming to actually route traffic; works fine in windows, but that's only a proof of it's ability
[05:03] <besquare> quit
[05:03] <besquare> quit
[05:03] <KlrSpz> lol
[05:04] <adamonline46> LucidFox: Yes, I just SSHed in with no problems...
[05:04] <nickrud> TigranG, I've only used gconftool to prune bad settings. it's not going to be that simple
[05:04] <Dr_willis> KlrSpz,  at one time - one would read the ip-masquerading howto to set  that up. :) not sure if theres an easier /gui way to do it now a days or not.
[05:05] <TigranG> nickrud: K, gonna give it a try
[05:05] <KlrSpz> don't care if it's a gui implementation, i just gotta get this working so i can get my 360 online :)
[05:05] <KlrSpz> (i come from gentoo, so i don't mind getting dirty as long as i can understand it and get it working)
[05:06] <SpookyET> Hi
[05:06] <Gnea> sn00zer: looks like the video quality degredation is a known issue
[05:06] <Dr_willis> KlrSpz,  check out that howto.. and i bet there are some gentoo wiki pages on the same topic.
[05:06] <KlrSpz> although you'd think there'd be a bridge plugin to the network manager
[05:07] <SpookyET> Switching folders in nautilus is extremely slow. Every time I change a folder, I see a network spike in system monitor applet in the panel. What's it doing, looking for network computers?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> never noticed. :) setting up ipmasquerading is like a 3 line script. if i rember right
[05:07] <sn00zer> gnea: are their any workarounds?
[05:07] <RavingGriff> alright, so i dual-boot windows and ubuntu.  a few days ago, i upgraded from an on-board geforce 6600 to a geforce 8500 gt card.  worked fine with windows, but when ubuntu boots, i get a blank screen.  right now i'm running in recovery mode, as root
[05:07] <jamescarr> hey folks
[05:07] <nickrud> KlrSpz, I had some issues with networkmanager in the past, and it's spec is dealing with only one interface at a time
[05:07] <Gnea> sn00zer: sell it and get another?
[05:07] <RavingGriff> a user from my regular irc channel tells me that my driver may be outdated, but i'd like your input
[05:07] <ChrisULM> does anyone know how to setup an ssh tunnel with firefox and putty?
[05:07] <Gnea> sn00zer: i've had very good luck with iogear
[05:08] <sn00zer> gnea: i have my desktop connected to it and it works fine, its just the laptop
[05:08] <troxor> ChrisULM: something like ssh -D ?
[05:08] <Dr_willis> RavingGriff,  I think there may be some issues with the 8500 card. They both should be using the same nvidia drivers  BUT the 8500 may be wanting the glx-new driver. not the normal glx one.
[05:08] <jamescarr> I am having trouble installing ... the live cd startup seems to hang on detecting hard drives... any idea whats up? The drives currently use the UFS (or is UHS) file format for BSD
[05:08] <ChrisULM> troxor, not sure. basically i want to tunnel through my dd-wrt router at home using ssh
[05:08] <Dr_willis> !find glx
[05:08] <ubotu> Found: libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg, libglitz-glx1, libglitz-glx1-dev, libxcb-glx0 (and 9 others)
[05:08] <TigranG> nickrud: How can I save it to a file? It says --dump, So I do gconftool --demp /apps/panel [dir]. Is that right?
[05:08] <troxor> ChrisULM: which way?
[05:09] <Gnea> sn00zer: right, but the point of using a kvm in the first place is to be able to swap between systems without any issues
[05:09] <sn00zer> gnea: and shouldn't windows at least work with it?

[05:09] <craig123> irc://irc.abjects.net/beast-xdcc
[05:09] <ChrisULM> troxor, when im on my laptop at my university, i want to tunnel back to my router at home
[05:09] <nickrud> TigranG, I looked over the man page again, and once again accepted that I am no gconftool expert . setting a key or two, or using --recursive-unset is the limits of my knowledge
[05:10] <RavingGriff> Dr_willis, am i going to need to apt get those packages?
[05:10] <tarelerulz> I can't seem to copy files using samba  I don't know why so I thought I would use scp ,but I can't  understand if it is working or not .  I can ssh into the other computer .  anyone have an example what you need to put in
[05:10] <TigranG> nickrud: K, thanks.
[05:10] <ChrisULM> troxor, ive connected to the router from another IP using SSH, but i dont know what to do from there
[05:10] <troxor> ChrisULM: just forward port 22
[05:10] <Dr_willis> RavingGriff,  You may want to doublt check the !nvidia factoid links. THey got a link to a list of what cards need what drivers..  you should be able to just apt-get install the right ones.
[05:10] <nickrud> TigranG, sorry. If you look around gnome.org , you'll probably find a tutorial
[05:10] <troxor> ChrisULM: and change dd-wrt's listening ssh daemon  to 222 or somesuch
[05:10] <Dr_willis> !nvidia | RavingGriff
[05:10] <ubotu> RavingGriff: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:10] <x_or> I think I might have been cracked, when I run grep it says "grep: unrecognized option `--post-data'"  I think someone might have replaced grep in the execution chain with wget to post files when grep is run using an automated process.  Has anyone heard of anything like this before?
[05:11] <ChrisULM> will try that, thanks
[05:11] <RavingGriff> thank you, Dr_willis
[05:11] <SpookyET> Will someone help please?
[05:11] <KlrSpz> Dr_willis: when you say a 3 line script, you mean injections to the iptables?
[05:11] <alexandroid> still waiting with my question. =) To put it simple: how do I check that grub is installed ok in external HDD and it is bootable?
[05:11] <KlrSpz> ie, routing packets from one nic to another?
[05:11] <sunogbaga> SpookyET: ask
[05:11] <SpookyET> sunogbaga: I did
[05:11] <Gnea> sn00zer: there seems to be some conflicting info about these... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ma/2007-November/000980.html  goes out on a limb to actually purchase the same kvm that you have and bad-mouths the iogear - but then again, my iogear is a PS/2 version and doesn't hassle with the USB power issues
[05:11] <nickrud> alexandroid, try to boot ? ;)
[05:12] <Dr_willis> KlrSpz,  if i rember the old way (it proberly hasent changed much) you enable the ipmasquerading with some echo command to set it up. then its like 1 or 2 iptables rules.
[05:12] <KlrSpz> alexandroid: it'll tell you once you tell grub to put it on the drive, as for bootable that's up to your bios to support booting usb devices
[05:12] <KlrSpz> ah yeah like the forwarding node in the proc fs
[05:12] <sunogbaga> SpookyET: didn't see your post.. whats the prob?
[05:13] <Gnea> sn00zer: and i've seen the same issue with the bootup-into-640x480 in linux but that's a simple reboot issue (with the iogear), but it never provides any problems with resolution cropness
[05:13] <KlrSpz> Dr_willis: i think i did this a loooooooong time ago in school; but it's been so long i can't remember what we did or how we accomplished it.. i'll read up.. thanks for the tip
[05:13] <SpookyET> sunogbaga:  Switching folders in nautilus is extremely slow. Every time I change a folder, I see a network spike in system monitor applet in the panel. What's it doing, looking for network computers?
[05:13] <KlrSpz> SpookyET: check out dstat, it should tell you what portion of your system is being hit when you feel those lags
[05:14] <alexandroid> well, i tried booting from it. It seems not to work - blank screen. However I'd expect it to say "not bootable" in case of real problem. BIOS seems to support booting from USB (at least it is in the list of bootable devices)
[05:14] <KlrSpz> also, when it does it you can watch your netstat if you're certain it's the network to see what it's tring to connect to
[05:14] <SpookyET> KlrSpz: dstat?
[05:14] <adamonline46> Is there a samba client?
[05:14] <x_or> Anyone know of cracker problems with postfix?  I think my machine has been cracked and I just setup postfix recently, so I wonder if there is a vulnerability.
[05:14] <KlrSpz> SpookyET: yeah, install it
[05:14] <pr0nGuy> anyone use virtualbox?
[05:14] <robdig> adamonline46: yes, smbclient
[05:14] <sunogbaga> adamonline46: yes there is
[05:14] <KlrSpz> (not at an ubuntu box so i'm not sure what the real pkg name is)
[05:15] <KlrSpz> pr0nGuy: yep.. love it
[05:15] <adrian__> HELP!! I have  a problem. when i rebooted my comp, it did the sda1 check. but it would not complete the check because it said it had trouble with loading a file called micronode-(random number). or something like that. and it would not let me got in to my home area. so i tryed some various recoverymodes and i finally got in, by just starting the recoverymode, and exitiing it. i think i might have been lucky this time, anyone knows what i
[05:15] <adrian__> can do to avoid hitting this problem in the future?
[05:15] <nickrud> alexandroid, try editing the menu.lst , find the kernel line that has quiet splash on it. Remove those words, at least it'll remove the chance that it's a framebuffer issue
[05:15] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: i just installed it.  do I have to run updates?
[05:15] <Blazer11> Gnea, do u see wht im talkin bout
[05:15] <Romes> kinda weird question: where do the ubuntu devs hang out?
[05:15] <SpookyET> KlrSpz: It's telling me the same thing as system monitor applet
[05:15] <SpookyET> The network is getting hit
[05:16] <Gnea> Blazer11: no not really - it looks like you have a single video card going to just one monitor, right?
[05:16] <SpookyET> I don't know why. I'm surfing my home directory
[05:16] <KlrSpz> pr0nGuy:  generally download it from the developer's site to ensure the latest; are you having problems?
[05:16] <tarelerulz> To use scp I did this scp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and then it goes to the next line ? What am I doing wrong
[05:16] <KlrSpz> SpookyET: right ok so check out netstat (try watch -n 1 netstat -anp)
[05:16] <adamonline46> robdig: Hmm, I have it already... Is there a config file or do I have to add users to it or anything?  I can't smb out for the life of me...
[05:16] <WildeSehnsucht> hi. i would like to restrict *some* (not all) applications to send any data to broadcast on the network (<IP_ADDRESS>). is there any gui tool to control things like these?
[05:16] <Blazer11> ya,notice its on pic domain 0001 0001:00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[05:16] <Gnea> tarelerulz: are you trying to send or receive a file?
[05:16] <KlrSpz> and see what happens when you browse, see if it's searching a local ip or remote or whatnot
[05:16] <Blazer11> pci sorry
[05:16] <sunogbaga> tarelerulz: scp copies files.. you have to put files in the params.. just like normal cp
[05:16] <tarelerulz> Gnea, I am trying to send a file
[05:17] <nickrud> tarelerulz, what way are you trying to transfer?
[05:17] <Gnea> Blazer11: yeah so that's built-in or is it a separate card?
[05:17] <tarelerulz> An .wav file
[05:17] <KlrSpz> you need a source and dest
[05:17] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I've just installed.  the only reason I want it is to print from my canon and lexmark printers.
[05:17] <KlrSpz> scp localfile.wav user@host:~/
[05:17] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I got it from synaptic
[05:17] <Gnea> tarelerulz: scp file.wav user@IP:/directory/you/want/it/in
[05:17] <Some_Person> Is there an Ubuntu repository for Firefox 3 Beta 2?
[05:18] <KlrSpz> pr0nGuy: should be ok, but have you tried cups? they'll generally support most printers if nothing else but by postscript output
[05:18] <Blazer11> separate, prob is its pcie 16x, so cant change slots
[05:18] <bazhang> Some_Person: currently no
[05:18] <soldats> pr0nGuy, lexmark isnt supported i believe
[05:18] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I'll look into that cups.
[05:18] <Xplicit> Some_Person: no just unpack it
[05:18] <Some_Person> Or a deb package?
[05:18] <Gnea> Blazer11: if that's the case, then xorg shouldn't care - it should find it and deal with it at installation
[05:18] <pr0nGuy> soldats: not my lexmark, soldier.
[05:19] <Hyp3r-X> Can anyone help me here the the Audio Sound drivers to install
[05:19] <Gnea> Blazer11: have you tried commenting-out the PCI ID line in the xorg.conf file and pressing ctrl-alt-backspace?
[05:19] <robdig> adamonline46: haven't used it, just use samba so i can print from ubuntu via my xp attached printer
[05:19] <Xplicit> Some_Person: unpack it to opt, link plugins and then link the bin, its easier than finding the deb
[05:19] <Gnea> !sound | Hyp3r-X
[05:19] <ubotu> Hyp3r-X: 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
[05:19] <Some_Person> Xplicit: too complex for me

[05:20] <Arrick> can someone here walk me through installing the newest webmin on ubuntu 6.06.1 server install?
[05:20] <Gnea> Blazer11: oh, this is on a SUN?
[05:21] <bazhang> !webmin
[05:21] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead
[05:21] <bazhang> see above Arrick
[05:21] <Blazer11> yes SunBlade 1500
[05:21] <Arrick> yeah, thats what I thought, no support for known good apps.....
[05:21] <WorkingOnWis1> i have totally screwed up my gnome session somehow. If I log in to a gnome session, everything in the panels, and the panes themselves, crash, leaving me only the desktop, and alt-f2 to run apps. I can log into an E-Gnome session (gnome using enlightenment) and the default panels load and all is good. Whats the fastest way to get my regular Gnome defaults back?
[05:21] <KlrSpz> pr0nGuy: yeah cups in ubuntu is easy.. i think there's already a gnome tool under system called PRINTERS (i use xubuntu so i don't have all the tools) and you can set it up pretty easily in there.. worst case, look for what's called a PPD file (it's basically a printer driver for cups) for your specific printer or one like it, should work fine...
[05:22] <Xplicit> download the tar unpack it with ark, or tar -xvjf , move it to /opt then ln -s /usr/bin/firefox3 /opt/firefox/firefox then rmdir /opt/firefox/plugins then ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins /opt/firefox/plugins
[05:22] <KlrSpz> my brand new $2000 photo printer works fine with cups, even multiplexing
[05:22] <Gnea> !sparc | Blazer11

[05:22] <astro76> Arrick, I've never known webmin to be good :P
[05:22] <Gnea> Blazer11: this channel is pretty much x86-based
[05:22] <Arrick> and it doesnt support nearly anything that webmin does
[05:22] <adamonline46> robdig: alright, ty
[05:22] <Arrick> ok, can someone just tell me how to use a deb to install to ubuntu?
[05:22] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I'm fairly certain that my Canon PIXMA MP210 is not supported at all.  Correct me if I'm wrong.
[05:23] <x_or> Is ebox in dapper respos, or do you need to install via source?
[05:23] <astro76> Arrick, dpkg -i

[05:23] <nickrud> Arrick, you're missing the point, webmin doesn't function with the way debian sets up the configuration files
[05:23] <kk-opera> Arrick: double click
[05:23] <sunogbaga> adamonline46: youve installed smbclient?
[05:23] <astro76> Arrick, or double click it
[05:23] <KlrSpz> or dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb
[05:23] <Blazer11> Oh sorry, is there somewhere else i should ask, if some could help me get xfree86 installed i think that would do it
[05:24] <Arrick> double click from the terminal?
[05:24] <ridge-meister> what entry should i add to sources.list in order to install gbrainy?
[05:24] <Arrick> thanks klasu_

[05:24] <KlrSpz> pr0nGuy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4012218 <-- also.. just google your model and ubuntu in there and you'll find plenty of hits
[05:25] <Arrick> nickrud I know that not to be right, I have 1.270 installed right now, and I want to update it to the new version.
[05:25] <nickrud> Gnea, that just depends on xserver-xorg
[05:25] <Gnea> nickrud: not the point.
[05:25] <Gnea> you can choose which xserver to use after that
[05:25] <Blazer11> yes, only thing avail was transition dummy package
[05:25] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: yes, I have.  Have you been following my problem?  I can access my samba shares from WinXP, but when I try to access them from a third machine running kubuntu I can't.  However, I can ssh and ping the smb server...
[05:25] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I just need to use a driver from another printer and it should work, right?
[05:25] <alexandroid> nickrud: will try that, thank you!
[05:26] <Gnea> oy
[05:26] <Gnea> *headdesk*
[05:26] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, from ur other ubuntu machine try this smbclient --list=ip_of_the_server
[05:26] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Oh wait, I take it back... I can't seem to ping the server
[05:26] <nickrud> lol
[05:27] <shm613> does anyone know if devilspie has been set up to work with compiz-fusion?
[05:28] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: When I do that it hangs.  When I do it with known functioning samba servers it asks for my password, then says 'session status failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[05:28] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, be sure you have network connections set up first.. smbclient(as far as i know) doesn't need config
[05:29] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, and ur windows box connects without passwords?
[05:29] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: By network connections, you mean aside from Samba?  Dang, it seems I can do everything else with each machine, just not these two together...
[05:29] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: No, it asks for passwords...
[05:30] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, can you configure your smb server so as not to ask password?
[05:30] <Viaken> Long story short, someone left a huge note of some type on my sister's laptop. I -think- it was a tooltip of some sort. At least, it was yellow with a darker left border. I wasn't sure what type of window it was, but thought it was a sticky-note style window and clicked on it to copy/paste the text, but it disappeared. I don't know what program generated it. Any ideas? Suggestions?
[05:31] <Viaken> Or is it gone into the aether?
[05:31] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Possibly, I wouldn't know where to start there... :)

[05:33] <bazhang> dewbie what is the chipet?
[05:33] <Viaken> I thought it could be an orage notification, but I couldn't find anything in orage's configs.

[05:34] <nickrud> webspiderus, hm, then it's probably not what I was thinking, and if so I have no clue
[05:34] <bazhang> dewbie: usb dongle?
[05:34] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, hopefully ur windows box. wont prompt for password
[05:34] <webspiderus> nickrud: so no, I don't think I have compiz :P
[05:34] <Gnea> KlrSpz: what commands did you use to make the bridge?
[05:35] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Where you force user to erwin, and force group to root... Is that safe?
[05:35] <RavingGriff> earlier, i was on with driver issues related to my new geforce 8500.  Dr_willis pointed me to the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto , but it's not helping, as the fixes it listed require x to be up and running, but i am unable to get x to start because of the driver issue
[05:35] <dewbie> bazhang, pci
[05:35] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, nope,, not at all..
[05:35] <egc> go Texas!
[05:35] <egc> ;)
[05:35] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: And you have security = share... Hmm, that sounds like something that might make a difference
[05:35] <rkj> sungbaga: I'll bet that will help - now how do I edit smb.conf and where do I find it? The man page references a program called swat but thwen there's no man page for swat.
[05:35] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, you can remove it however
[05:35] <Gnea> RavingGriff: just set the current driver to nv
[05:35] <bazhang> dewbie: lspci in the terminal (dont paste here)
[05:35] <dewbie> k
[05:36] <RavingGriff> Gnea, how would i go about doing that?
[05:36] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, don't really care about security issues here at home
[05:36] <Gnea> RavingGriff: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:36] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: I kinda feel ya, this thing's gonna be locked down when I finish anyway 8)
[05:36] <StratPlayedBlue> anyone know how to make something compile with SSP?
[05:37] <KlrSpz> Gnea: i used the /etc/network/interfaces file to bridge, then restarted the networking... ifconfig shows the two devices having their own ip's, and dstat shows the nic getting packets from the 360 just fine.. but isn't routing to wlan0... i know my hardware is capable as i've had bridging working in windows... but i had to set a promiscuous mode in windows which i can't find a valid way to do it in ubuntu. not sure if htis is m
[05:37] <dewbie> bazhang, http://pastebin.ca/834429
[05:37] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Well, I appreciate the help, I'll give this a shot n let you know :)
[05:37] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, no problem
[05:37] <nimbus_bk> ?
[05:37] <Gnea> KlrSpz: can you paste the output of that file to pastebin please?
[05:37] <RavingGriff> also, Gnea, if it's prevalent...my new card is not on this list http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html of supported cards
[05:37] <jhonovich> how can i get a report of memory usage by process?  i know top and free but neither seems to provide this
[05:38] <Gnea> KlrSpz: if the bridge is up, then the only device to get an IP is the bridge interface itself
[05:38] <nimbus_bk> what can t do
[05:38] <bazhang> dewbie: sorry that page wont load for me--if you just tell me the wireless chipset, or the numbers after ID then that would do :}
[05:38] <rkj> sunogbaga: How do I edit smb.conf and where do I find it? The man page references a program called swat but then there's no man page for swat.
[05:38] <bazhang> nimbus_bk: what is your question?
[05:38] <dewbie> bashang, 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[05:39] <EDinNY> /etc/samba/smb.conf
[05:39] <rkj> ok thanks
[05:39] <bazhang> !broadcom
[05:39] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[05:39] <dewbie> oops bazhang*
[05:39] <bazhang> see above dewbie
[05:39] <nickrud> nimbus_bk, your question probably got lost in the scroll, ask it again
[05:40] <KlrSpz> Gnea: yeah i'm actually not on the box, was just looking for insight... and yeah, i mis-spoke.. i meant that ifconfig showed both being up; with only br0 having an IP (i can't remember if it was my internal subnet, or the subnet for the bridged devices)
[05:40] <Gnea> KlrSpz: it's basically like each network card is a hand, and when you bridge them, you're taking a very large mitton and placing it over both hands at once to keep them warm at the same time - the outside world doesn't see the hands, it just sees the mitton, therefore the only way to put an IP on the bridge is via the interface itself - snow and ice on the hands inside the mittons would not work, just like IP's on the main interfaces them
[05:40] <nimbus_bk> i don't know
[05:40] <bazhang> nimbus_bk: you have a question or not?
[05:40] <RavingGriff> thank you for your help, gnea, i'm going to reboot and try
[05:40] <StratPlayedBlue> what's a good channel to get programming help?
[05:40] <ridge-meister> what entry should i add to sources.list in order to install the package "GBRAINY"??
[05:41] <Gnea> KlrSpz: ah ok - well, if you could paste the output of that file, i could certainly help better
[05:41] <Gnea> !pastebin | KlrSpz
[05:41] <ubotu> KlrSpz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:41] <bazhang> ridge-meister: why do that? is it a repository or just a package?
[05:41] <nimbus_bk> i don't understand
[05:42] <bazhang> nimbus_bk: please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:42] <ridge-meister> bazhang: i thought it was a package, and isn't the normal procedure to install packages using the repositories?
[05:42] <KlrSpz> Gnea: you're talking about the interfaces file? i'll have to check back tomorrow night.. i should be getting to bed for work in the morning :S
[05:42] <ridge-meister> bazhang: if I install the package, then won't i have to deal with a bunch of dependancy issues?
[05:42] <KlrSpz> Gnea: are you around often?
[05:42] <bazhang> ridge-meister: well yes, unless the repositories dont have it :} is it a deb? or other
[05:42] <nimbus_bk> po tay .com
[05:43] <bazhang> nimbus_bk: last warning
[05:43] <Gnea> KlrSpz: a bit here and there - i'm gonna be outta town the next few days, but there are plenty of networking gurus around here :)
[05:43] <nickrud> nimbus_bk, language?
[05:43] <StratPlayedBlue> what a good channel to get some programming help? i've got a problem compiling something i wrote with stack overflow protection
[05:43] <ridge-meister> bazhang: yes, it's a deb
[05:43] <WorkingOnWis1> i have totally screwed up my gnome session somehow. If I log in to a gnome session, everything in the panels, and the panes themselves, crash, leaving me only the desktop, and alt-f2 to run apps. I can log into an E-Gnome session (gnome using enlightenment) and the default panels load and all is good. Whats the fastest way to get my regular Gnome defaults back?
[05:43] <Blazer11> Gnea i pmd u
[05:43] <KlrSpz> alright, thanks for the interest.. c'ya around
[05:43] <rromanchuk_> join #facebook
[05:43] <rromanchuk_> grr
[05:43] <Gnea> Blazer11: you need to register in order to do it
[05:44] <KlrSpz> WorkingOnWis1: kill the .gnome folders in your home dir, and possibly your .cache folder for sessions
[05:44] <Arrick> nickrud it works, can you tell me how to copy all the files *and* directories into another directory on 6.06.1 with a terminal command?
[05:44] <bazhang> ridge-meister: well you would download it and then double click it, though yes there are some risks involved as you mentioned before--might you not google the forums and see others experience first? something like: ubuntu gutsy gbrainy would give some links most likely
[05:45] <nickrud> Arrick, cp -r  /path/to/source/files/*  /destiantion/folder
[05:45] <Arrick> thanks
[05:46] <bazhang> !info gbrainy
[05:46] <ubotu> Package gbrainy does not exist in gutsy
[05:47] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Ooh, neat, I can log in without a password from windows now 8)
[05:47] <nickrud> ridge-meister, did you get that deb from debian , or where?
[05:47] <bazhang> WorkingOnWis1: you want to re add the gnome panels?
[05:48] <bazhang> adamonline46: nice work!
[05:49] <_Kernel> !secure-delete
[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about secure-delete - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:49] <Spaceman3750> OK, so, if the wiki says that my RealTek 8187B is not supported in the installed system, that means Ubuntu won't recognize it, period, right?
[05:49] <Spaceman3750> *RealTek 8187B wireless NIC
[05:50] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: means you need to get ndiswrapper or some other workaround
[05:50] <ridge-meister> nickrud: when i tried to installing using the deb it said that a dependancy wasn't satisfied.
[05:50] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: What are my odds with ndiswrapper?
[05:50] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, how about from the other ubuntu box?
[05:50] <Spaceman3750> I'm just running off the LiveCD until I know it will work
[05:50] <ridge-meister> nickrud: now i am trying to install from a tgz file.  when i typed in "sh ./configure" it said "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[05:50] <ridge-meister> "
[05:50] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: apart from the hassle quite good
[05:50] <GoMittGo> Mitt Romney understands the importance of the tech sector to our economy.

[05:51] <astro76> !ops | GoMittGo
[05:51] <bmwerks> is there a way to get paid support for 7.10?

[05:51] <GoMittGo> Mitt Romney for President 2008   Move America forward with us!
[05:51] <bazhang> GoMittGo: stop it
[05:51] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: OK, let me do a little research
[05:51] <nickrud> ridge-meister, install build-essential
[05:51] <MenZa> bazhang: spambot, it's no use.
[05:51] <bazhang> MenZa: I see haha
[05:51] <nickrud> well he just lot my vote
[05:51] <pr0nGuy> KlrSpz: I'm running Windows XP on Ubuntu via virtualbox.  Do I need to run updates and activate Windows?
[05:51] <bazhang> nickrud: hehe
[05:52] <ridge-meister> nickrud: that's a big file :) shouldn't that have been installed already?
[05:52] <nickrud> ridge-meister, you're gonna run into a lot of issues compiling that, it'll keep saying you're missing libraries also
[05:52] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: No such luck :(
[05:52] <bmwerks> can i get paid support for 7.10?
[05:52] <adamonline46> and that's the only ubuntu box with a GUI
[05:52] <nickrud> ridge-meister, no, ubuntu isn't a compiling distro by defaut
[05:53] <chaosrl> does anyone have experience with ipod syncing and gutsy?
[05:53] <nickrud> bmwerks, yes, canonical.com
[05:53] <bazhang> bmwerks: why pay? here is free :}
[05:53] <MenZa> !ipod | chaosrl
[05:53] <ubotu> chaosrl: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:53] <ridge-meister> nickrud: what's going to give me issues?  gbrainy or build-essential ?
[05:53] <gvsa123> bmwerks: i though 8.04 was getting LTS
[05:53] <nickrud> ridge-meister, gbrainy
[05:53] <MenZa> bazhang: some companies just need to make sure they can get their support when they want it.
[05:53] <Amaranth> That might work for awhile
[05:53] <bmwerks> ive never gotten an answer here
[05:53] <MenZa> gvsa123: it is.
[05:53] <gvsa123> bazhang: lol
[05:53] <MenZa> !hardy | gvsa123
[05:53] <ubotu> gvsa123: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[05:53] <bmwerks> so im seeking other ways
[05:54] <bazhang> MenZa: sure, but here is more fun :}
[05:54] <MenZa> heh
[05:54] <bazhang> bmwerks: what is your question?
[05:54] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, how about from the same machine?
[05:54] <gvsa123> bmwerks: why not wait for 8.04 then get paid support :)
[05:54] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: OK, the Wiki says to use the Win98 drivers...  I'm confused, so NDISWrapper is used to run the Win98 drivers?
[05:54] <Spaceman3750> Or NDISWrapper IS the driver I should use?
[05:54] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: The same machine?  The server?
[05:54] <nickrud> ridge-meister, rule of thumb: when it says it can't find a library (like gtk)   add  lib to the front and do:  apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev , the -dev files have the stuff you need to compile
[05:54] <astro76> gvsa123, it's by the year, it doesn't matter what version
[05:54] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: yes
[05:54] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: 1st or 2nd?
[05:55] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, yes
[05:55] <gvsa123> astro76: what's by the year? offering LTS?
[05:55] <bmwerks> its mostly with the gui when i change desktops i lose my icons and panels
[05:55] <astro76> gvsa123, canonical's support contracts
[05:55] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: to the first, thus the wrapper part of the name
[05:55] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: It would have to be by CLI... Do you know how I could go about that?
[05:55] <stewart> how do i hide icons on the desktop?
[05:55] <Spaceman3750> So bazhang should I go ahead and install Gutsy and there's a very good chance I can get my wireless card working?
[05:55] <gvsa123> astro76: oh...
[05:55] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, oh!
[05:55] <bazhang> bmwerks: could you specify a bit more?
[05:56] <ridge-meister> nickrud: when you say add lib to the front do you mean "apt-get install -lib build-essential"?
[05:56] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, can you smbclient --lish=server_ip --no-pass
[05:56] <gvsa123> astro76: so does giving LTS to a particular version of ubuntu mean that it's a version they think is the most stable or milestone?
[05:56] <nickrud> ridge-meister, no. install build-essential, it has the compiler. Then when configure says it can't find a library, do like my example
[05:56] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: if you google rtl8187 gutsy you will get some excellent links on how to do it--I'm blogging atm or I would do it for you :}
[05:56] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: Thanks :)
[05:57] <nickrud> ridge-meister, then install the package (like libgtk2.0-dev)
[05:57] <bmwerks> if i go to the second desktop or anyone of them the icons on the desktop disappear and the panels too i have to log out and sign in back to see them again
[05:57] <tarelerulz> I did tranfer with scp and the files which is .wav file will not play on the other system .  I did this scp file.wav  username@ip:/home/username/filename.wav . It transfers really fast . I am on wireless and I know it is not that fast. I have seen this happen on the web to when file tranfers to fast and it being missed
[05:57] <astro76> gvsa123, LTS refers mostly to the fact that it will get security updates for 5 years on server, 3 years on desktop, as opposed to 18 months for non-LTS
[05:57] <rich1> how do i set dolphin up to show hidden files by default?
[05:57] <bazhang> rich1: go to #kubuntu?
[05:57] <astro76> gvsa123, for everyone, nothing to do with the paid support
[05:58] <gvsa123> astro76: but how do they determine which version to give LTS to? i mean why 8.04 and not 7.10 or others?
[05:58] <nickrud> looks like the ops will be busy tonight
[05:58] <tumbleweed__> lol
[05:58] <astro76> gvsa123, duno, 6.06 was the first, 8.04 is two years later, it has to be within a 3 year window so they can support LTS -> LTS upgrades
[05:58] <bazhang> bmwerks: the second desktop? are you using compiz?
[05:58] <rich1> bazhang: thanks.
[05:58] <Hippotamus> What codecs will I need to burn DVD's?
[05:59] <bazhang> !who | bmwerks
[05:59] <ubotu> bmwerks: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:59] <gvsa123> astro76: i see... and LTS is only for updates? not upgrades? like new versions of software (OOo, FF, etc..)
[05:59] <ridge-meister> nickrud: i never saw your example, all i recall you saying was to add lib to the front, but that doesn't make any sense to me :)
[05:59] <bazhang> Hippotamus: from an iso, or to make video dvds or other
[06:00] <bmwerks> bazhang: yeah i am
[06:00] <nickrud> ridge-meister,  rule of thumb: when it says it can't find a library (like gtk)   add  lib to the front and do:  apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev , the -dev files have the stuff you need to compile
[06:00] <astro76> gvsa123, not sure I understand, an LTS release is like any other, except that the repositories for the LTS releases will function longer
[06:00] <bmwerks> !tab
[06:00] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[06:00] <Hippotamus> bazhang: from an iso
[06:00] <bazhang> bmwerks: have you tried to recreate the error with compiz disabled?
[06:00] <tarelerulz> When I try to use samba  I can't write to my shares. access is denied .  Cold the scp and samba not working be related?
[06:00] <nickrud> ridge-meister, when you hit the first one, I'll walk you through
[06:00] <ridge-meister> nickrud what specifically do i type when adding lib to the front?  i'm confused
[06:01] <bazhang> Hippotamus: right click open with cd/dvd creator does not work?
[06:01] <ridge-meister> nickrud:okay
[06:01] <bmwerks> bazhang: no i havent, ill try that
[06:01] <gvsa123> astro76: ah... so if the repos function longer, then i guess that means that newer versions of software that make it into the repos, will be part of the upgrades... meaning, you'll get to upgrade OOo via update manager
[06:01] <phosphoricx> what is the best way to search inside many files, of a certain type (say *.h), for a certain string?
[06:01] <qukk> Hello Ubuntu channel, does anyone know if there is a way to set up a linux router to allow NAT'd computers to use uPnP to dynamically generate port forewarding rules?
[06:01] <Hippotamus> bazhang: no, but I think it might me a hardware problem
[06:01] <ridge-meister> nickrud: i'm on dialup, so that 13.3mb file is only 20% done
[06:01] <Sneaks> New to IRC and ubuntu so forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask.  I need help getting a tri-boot to work.  I need to run XP, I am running 6.06 and I have 7.10 installed on a separate partition.  I  can't get 7.10 to boot.  Can anyone help?
[06:02] <Nostahl> is there a linux driver for netgear's WG111v3 wireless usb adapter yet
[06:02] <nickrud> phosphoricx, grep <string> *.h
[06:02] <bmk789_> how do i get my mute button to work?  when i press it, it says mute on or mute off but it doesnt actually mute the device
[06:02] <bazhang> Hippotamus: try that first
[06:02] <astro76> gvsa123, no, with any time-based release distro (as opposed to rolling release), each version only gets security updates and critical bugfixes, no new versions
[06:02] <phosphoricx> Sneaks: what's the problem?
[06:02] <phosphoricx> nickrud: I need t
[06:02] <astro76> gvsa123, there is a backports repo for each release however
[06:02] <bazhang> Nostahl: is that the ralink 2500 chipset?
[06:02] <nickrud> t?
[06:02] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Sorry, phone call from the girly 8)  Should I do that from the server?
[06:02] <Nostahl> morvel or movell or however its pronounced bazhang
[06:02] <Sneaks> I installed 7.10 on a separate partition no problem but I can't boot it.  I can boot XP and 6.06 but 7.10 isnt an option under my grub meneu
[06:02] <phosphoricx> nickrud: typo, sorry :-p
[06:03] <gvsa123> astro76: no new versions for software you mean? such that you wouldn't have gotten OOo 2.3 if you stuck with fiesty?
[06:03] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, from the client
[06:03] <nickrud> ridge-meister, If I'm not around, ask for help in identifying development headers
[06:03] <astro76> gvsa123, indeed
[06:03] <bazhang> Nostahl: could you be more precise? Or I may say do this or something like it as advice :}
[06:03] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, and try it from the server also
[06:03] <phosphoricx> sneaks: you should be able to boot to it once you add it to your GRUB menu
[06:03] <gvsa123> astro76: i see...
[06:03] <Sneaks> How do I add it to my grub menu?
[06:04] <Nostahl> bazhang its the netgear wg111v3 with movell chipset
[06:04] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: it works from the server...
[06:04] <Nostahl> bazhang or however movell is spelt :P
[06:04] <bazhang> Nostahl: is it plugged in now, and are you on that computer?
[06:04] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, it didn't work from the client?
[06:04] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: and the client
[06:05] <phosphoricx> sneaks: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:05] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, then your client was able to connect
[06:05] <Nostahl> aye its pluged in the computer is running software updates atm
[06:05] <Hyp3r-X> !sound
[06:05] <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
[06:05] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: Interesting.  I'm still not able to connect to the point I can see the files, though
[06:05] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, try visiting the shared folder from  places->nework->
[06:05] <Sneaks> Ok, but menu.lst refers to files in /boot/grub.  7.10 is not in that directory.  It is on a separate partition and I can't even mount that partition?  Don't know how?
[06:05] <bazhang> Nostahl: open up a terminal when that is done and type in lsusb and tell me the number for that chipset after the ID
[06:06] <adamonline46> in Dolphin I'm doing smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/data, and it seems to be hanging still
[06:07] <nickrud> Sneaks, you don't need mount the other partition to edit the one in 6.06. What partition is your 7.10 on?
[06:07] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: When I go to 'samba shares' -> mshome I see nothing.  It DOES say '1 folder, 0 files', but I don't see anything in there
[06:07] <Likuid_Silence> wow i just fixed that stupid Failed to initialize HAL message!! grrr
[06:07] <Likuid_Silence> anyone had that problem befo?
[06:08] <Nostahl> bazhang i think it'll be a little bit before its done... old dell inspiron 1000 hehe
[06:08] <bazhang> Nostahl: no hurry--well be here all night :}
[06:08] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, silly, but a reboot may do the trick
[06:09] <adamonline46> sunogbaga: client?
[06:09] <Sneaks> Phosphoricx  I just tired to send you a message on the new tab that popped up on my system but it said I wasn't allowed to post private messages.  I will go to register now so that I can.
[06:09] <sunogbaga> adamonline46, yes.. the client.. or try restarting the clients network first
[06:09] <mhiku> anyone want to have homebased php web dev pm me :)
[06:10] <bazhang> mhiku: not the channel for that
[06:10] <joanki> when i open a program through terminal like xchat... i type xchat& but if i close the terminal, for some reason it closes the program.... how can i change this?
[06:10] <nickrud> joanki, after you have started xchat like that, type disown <tab> <enter>
[06:11] <shm613> is there a way to have a window open up on a workspace that is compatible with compiz fusion?
[06:11] <bazhang> joanki need a space after xchat?
[06:11] <Hoxie> looks like she bounced before she got her answer
[06:11] <bazhang> haha
[06:11] <nickrud> bazhang, it'll still die because it's a child of the terminal
[06:11] <adamonline46> o she's back hehe
[06:11] <joanki> sorry got booted
[06:11] <bazhang> nickrud: cheers!
[06:11] <joanki> did anyone answer my q?
[06:11] <adamonline46> two folk 8)
[06:12] <joanki> nickrud, it used to not close if i typed xchat&
[06:12] <bazhang> one right one not :{
[06:12] <joanki> if i left the & off, it did
 joanki, after you have started xchat like that, type disown <tab> <enter>
[06:12] <joanki> ok
[06:12] <joanki> disown eh?
[06:12] <nickrud> joanki, yes, it frees it from the terminal
[06:12] <adamonline46> the other suggested xchat <space> &
[06:12] <joanki> ok that did not work
[06:13] <joanki> bash: disown: current: no such job
[06:13] <bazhang> which was wrong my bad
[06:13] <joanki> ok
[06:13] <joanki> so why would anyone want it to be that way
[06:13] <nickrud> joanki, did you get %xchat when you pressed tab?
[06:13] <joanki> maybe i'm too much into windows, but it seems that if you want to be done with terjminal, that doesn't mean you want to be done with everything else
[06:13] <Nostahl> so you can see the code the programs executing
[06:13] <joanki> no i did not nick
[06:13] <phosphoricx> nickrud: how would I search recursively for the string using a filter of only header files (*.h)  using grep?
[06:14] <nickrud> phosphoricx, grep -r <string> *.h
[06:14] <Hoxie> has anybody had any problems with playing ogg music files? everytime I try with any player it freezes the player and I have to force quit. All other sound is good though....
[06:14] <DragonSpirit> are there any repositories full of software that is somewhat popular besides the ones initially available, or a place that has info on the ones out there
[06:14] <astro76> joanki, then hit alt+F2 and type the command there, it won't be the child of any terminal
[06:14] <nickrud> oh, astro76 chops out the middle man
[06:14] <bazhang> DragonSpirit: like waht?
[06:15] <Soskel> http://webtechmedia.net/wallace_type.mov
[06:15] <soldats> like medibuntu
[06:15] <bazhang> DragonSpirit: backports?
[06:16] <Xplicit> i made a partition system from linux but windows install wont recognise it,
[06:16] <DragonSpirit> Just wanted to see what all was out there, I added medibuntu, and the backports, but wondered if there was any repositories with stuff not available officially by ubuntu, that has been put together by thrid parties
[06:16] <ehc> if I want to rip dvds to my harddrive what file type should I save them in. I want smallest size per quality
[06:17] <astro76> Xplicit, yeah windows won't recognize any of it, should just have to pick the partition you intended to be NTFS, and tell windows to format that one and install there
[06:17] <bazhang> Soskel: you have a question?
[06:17] <Soskel> yes
[06:17] <joanki> nickrud, is that an ok way to do things?
[06:17] <Soskel> how epic was that video?
[06:17] <joanki> use alt F2?
[06:17] <DragonSpirit> well I added the backports as in what was in the update thing
[06:17] <nickrud> joanki, it's how I run nearly everything, alt f2
[06:17] <DragonSpirit> the one you just check
[06:17] <krazytekn0> joanki totally alt f2 rocks
[06:18] <joanki> got it
[06:18] <nickrud> joanki, if you know the name of the program, it's faster than finding the menu item
[06:18] <qukk> I have installed Ubuntu (latest version, server edition) with the alternative CD. How can I get it to boot to command line without having to do Ctrl Alt F1 during boot (where it "hangs" at Running Boot Scripts)?
[06:18] <joanki> why didnt anyone just tell me =p
[06:18] <Xplicit> astro76: i tried that but windows installed half way through my drive (is there a limit to where it can go?)
[06:18] <nickrud> joanki, cuz only astro76 was thinking outside the box
[06:18] <joanki> i asked that q several times
[06:18] <bazhang> ehc: avi seems to be popular though this is not really the channel for that
[06:18] <joanki> oh i see
[06:18] <astro76> joanki, yeah just popped in ;)
[06:18] <joanki> i asked that q like three dif times and no good solution ;)
[06:18] <muaddib> Hello all
[06:18] <joanki> thanks
[06:18] <Spaceman3750> Gutsy has been making room for itself for a good while now, it's been at 0% the whole way.  What do I do?
[06:19] <soldats> hello
[06:19] <joanki> i like gutsy
[06:19] <joanki> i did not at first
[06:19] <Spaceman3750> I'm beginning to not like Gutsy
[06:19] <joanki> what's the prob
[06:19] <Spaceman3750> For some odd reason I'm trying to install it on my laptop anyways
[06:19] <Spaceman3750> It ain't going so hot
[06:19] <joanki> why
[06:19] <joanki> the only thing i don't like is hibernate
[06:19] <Nostahl> i just finnished installing it to my laptop
[06:19] <gvsa123> i like it :)
[06:19] <joanki> but they musta tried to fix it
[06:19] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: you have an actual question in there?
[06:19] <Nostahl> but now im doing the 2 hours of software updates lol
[06:19] <joanki> because it's better
[06:19] <Spaceman3750> Well, it doesn't recognize either my wireless or sound cards, and it's been on 0% for repartitioning progress for like 5 minutes
[06:20] <muaddib> quick question.. I just recently upgraded my machine from 3GB to 8GB of memory. Unfortunately ubuntu is not detecting all of the memory. I assume highmem support is not enabled in the generic kernel.
[06:20] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: See above
[06:20] <astro76> Xplicit, when you paritioned in Linux you made an NTFS partition for windows?
[06:20] <rkj> Hi, can someone help troubleshoot a printing problem? I am printing from my ubuntu box to a WinXP box with an hp laserjet 1320 printer but nothing prints.  the XP machine can print to it locally, and I can access files on the XP machine over the LAN.
[06:20] <nickrud> everything worked for me on gutsy, first time since breezy
[06:20] <muaddib> Does anyone know if it is enabled in the linux-kernel-server
[06:20] <Spaceman3750> bazhang: My first message about being at 0% for a long time
[06:20] <joanki> spaceman, have you allowed thirdparty software upgrades?
[06:20] <bazhang> Spaceman3750: see no question above--usually indicated with a how do I..?
[06:20] <joanki> that is what i had to do to get my video card to work
[06:21] <krazytekn0> rkj you've enabled printer sharing in xp?
[06:21] <muaddib> Doesanyone know the penalty for moving from generic kernel to server. I am running a workstation class machine
[06:21] <Xplicit> astro76:  yeah and it just ignored it
[06:21] <rkj> krazytekn0: yep
[06:21] <rkj> krazytekn0: let me just go check on that ...
[06:22] <phosphoricx> nickrud: that doesn't seem to work, it only wants to look at the .h files in ./
[06:22] <astro76> Xplicit, and when you went in the windows installer, did you recognize that partition? it probably would say unformatted still
[06:22] <shm613> Does anyone know if there is a way to have windows default open to a certian workspace with compiz fusion running?
[06:22] <Xplicit> astro76:  there were no partitions that was the problem
[06:22] <Lapinux> anyone know if "ietab" is available for the linux version of firefox?
[06:22] <Spaceman3750> Gutsy has been making room for itself for a good while now, it's been at 0% the whole way.  What do I do? -- Basically how do I move this along without messing things up?
[06:23] <Lapinux> never mind, its not
[06:23] <bazhang> shm613: best ask that in #compiz-fusion; they are very helpful there :}
[06:23] <nickrud> phosphoricx, works here, been using it a long time.  For example, try grep -r panel ~/.gconfd
[06:23] <joanki> spaceman, are you reformatting your entire computer?]
[06:23] <joanki> or partitioning?
[06:23] <Spaceman3750> partitioning
[06:23] <nickrud> phosphoricx, erm, ~/.gconf that is
[06:23] <Spaceman3750> Erm, why is there a FloodBot2 in here?
[06:23] <joanki> and did you do a manual partition?
[06:23] <Spaceman3750> joanki: Guided
[06:23] <astro76> Xplicit, what version windows?
[06:23] <rkj> krazytekn0: duh ... next time remind me to turn it on too.
[06:23] <Spaceman3750> 40GB
[06:23] <soldats>  floodbot is god
[06:23] <joanki> ew i hated their guided partition
[06:23] <Xplicit> windows xp
[06:24] <joanki> i did m anual and imho i suggest you do the same
[06:24] <nickrud> Spaceman3750, because of silly children flooding the channel
[06:24] <Xplicit> astro76: i just got my answere in ##windows
[06:24] <joanki> is windows on your other partition?
[06:24] <phosphoricx> nickrud, ok I'm with you on that one, but then how do you filter it for only *.h ?
[06:25] <acc_> #Ubuntu: I'm attempting to install 7.10 on a laptop with Debian already installed on it (which has been working fine for about 2 years, so I know it's mostly Linux-compatible).  When the installer starts up, and I choose to install, it hangs on "Loading Linux Kernel."  How can I diagnose and fix this?  Thanks.
[06:25] <astro76> Xplicit, has to be first primary partition?
[06:26] <acc_> Ah, wait a few minutes, apparently. :)  It was stuck at 7% but just now it picked up and is on 52%
[06:26] <Xplicit> no without sp1 windows xp install cd cant handel drives bigger than 128
[06:26] <Spaceman3750> acc_: Gutsy uses Linux 2.6 which your Debian installation probably is not using, so it could be a kernel incompatibility with your laptop
[06:26] <acc_> Spaceman3750: Actually, the Debian partition has 2.6.22
[06:27] <Spaceman3750> acc_: Ah, nevermind then
[06:27] <SpeakerMania> I just installed Cinerella (Video Editor) but it doesn't open. I've tried going through Applications >> Sound and Video, ALT+F2, and the terminal, but none open it.
[06:27] <acc_> At any rate, it has loaded the kernel successfully now.  Thanks anyway.
[06:27] <CaptainMorgan> wow... WINE crashes too much!!!
[06:27] <Xplicit> arg ive done 2 windows installs in 1 night i feal dirty
[06:27] <CaptainMorgan> what's up with that ?
[06:28] <CaptainMorgan> every since Fiesty
[06:28] <nickrud> phosphoricx, I know I've done this ...
[06:28] <Xplicit> CaptainMorgan: you using the latest version with the correct repos?
[06:28] <CaptainMorgan> it's like, multitasking is illegal
[06:28] <CaptainMorgan> Xplicit, AFAIK
[06:28] <bazhang> #winehq would have more on that CaptainMorgan
[06:28] <CaptainMorgan> Xplicit, I have all repos available
[06:28] <fajar> hallo
[06:28] <Xplicit> are you using the repos wine provide or the ubuntu version
[06:28] <SpeakerMania> CaptainMorgan, guess what? It is a Windows emulator. Windows has enough problems already running applications natively; is an emulator going to do any better?
[06:29] <pyrak> having trouble playing a dvd
[06:29] <unperson> I'm looking to get a new wireless NIC for one of my computers.  I'd like to find one that will work with linux drivers (i.e. won't require ndiswrapper).  So far, the only method I have to determine this is too look at a list of cards for sale and then google the model number of each one to find discussion of drivers for linux.  Is there a better way to go about this?
[06:29] <phosphoricx> nickrud, but there's nothing about .h in "grep -r panel ~/.gconfd", so where do you put it?
[06:29] <CaptainMorgan> SpeakerMania, that's not an explanation - Before 7.** wine worked fine - at least for me
[06:30] <nickrud> phoenixz, rereading man page, refreshing my elderly memory
[06:30] <SpeakerMania> CaptainMorgan, WINE has never worked properly for me. Might as well have a dual-boot with 2K. I still don't know why anyone would run a Windows app on a Linux box. :P
[06:30] <muaddib> How does one rebuild ubuntu kernel. There seems to be 2 methods the first is to either download via apt-get source linux-source-2.6.22 or get it from the git repository
[06:30] <muaddib> Which one
[06:30] <bruenig> muaddib, either
[06:31] <SpeakerMania> I just installed Cinerella (Video Editor) but it doesn't open. I've tried going through Applications >> Sound and Video, ALT+F2, and the terminal, but none open it.

[06:31] <GOP_Primaries> Mitt Romney opposes same sex marriage!
[06:31] <GOP_Primaries> "Last year the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court struck a blow against the family, as I'm sure you know. The court forgot that [traditional] marriage is first and foremost about nurturing and developing children. Its ruling meant that our society is supposed to be indifferent about whether children have a mother and a father."
[06:31] <GOP_Primaries> Mitt Romney for President 2008   Help preserve traditional American values.
[06:31] <GOP_Primaries> Vote Mitt Romney

[06:31] <soldats> CaptainMorgan, sorry, i feel the same as you as in wine always woprks for me but sometimes for some peple it doesnt
[06:31] <CaptainMorgan> soldats, you misinterpreted
[06:31] <SpeakerMania> bruenig: None. It says it isn't a recognized command. ?
[06:31] <Amaranth> *sigh*
[06:32] <bruenig> SpeakerMania, how did you install cinerella?
[06:32] <unperson> Wow, are they spamming all the IRC channels that way?
[06:32] <SpeakerMania> bruenig, through Synaptic.
[06:32] <Amaranth> yep
[06:32] <muaddib> bruenig: what is the difference... From what I can tell the documentation says the kernel-source package is older than the git repository and doesn't have latest patches is that correct
[06:32] <CaptainMorgan> soldats, it's not a people issue, it's an OS version issue - before 7.04 or 7.10 wine worked fine
[06:32] <bruenig> !info cinerella
[06:32] <ubotu> Package cinerella does not exist in gutsy
[06:32] <nickrud> phoenixz, grep -r <string> --include=*.h <path>
[06:32] <bruenig> SpeakerMania, what is the exact name of the package
[06:32] <SpeakerMania> bruenig: That would be my issue.
[06:33] <SpeakerMania> bruenig: cinerella. ?
[06:33] <SpeakerMania> bruenig, hang on one second
[06:33] <soldats> CaptainMorgan, maybe i tried to scroll up but it doesnt go to far, strange wine "works for me" on 7.10
[06:33] <bruenig> SpeakerMania, if that is the name, then you didn't get it from the ubuntu repos
