[01:51] <koro> Wyzard: yeah i'm aware of that, but at least it does allow me to make full use of my card
[01:51] <SeaPhor> koro, wouldnt keep settings, would revert and i couldnt get better than 600x400 res, and on and on
[01:51] <LainIwakura> Scunizi: what about the former? when i create a folder in my home folder, it's the former
[01:51] <koro> i tried the nvidia drivers i found in the repositories and it really sucked
[01:51] <gustavo_> Zambezi: thx anyway :)
[01:51] <RyanPrior> Does the Mesa driver support compositing?
[01:51] <koro> maybe i didn't get the right ones?
[01:51] <Wyzard> koro: The Ubuntu restricted nvdia packages are the *same software* provided by nVidia, just made into a .deb that installs cleanly and properly
[01:51] <koro> SeaPhor: well it's working just fine for me
[01:51] <Zambezi> gustavo_: No problem.
[01:51] <SeaPhor> koro, Wyzard knows what he's talking about
[01:51] <L> But it says something about the wireless and it needs extracted from the firmware, or... um.... something, and I ok it, but it comes back and doesn't work, and then it says restart to work, so I did, and same prob..
[01:51] <koro> Wyzard: oh i didn't know about that; in that case i did get the wrong stuff
[01:52] <Wyzard> koro: This is the correct way to set up the nVidia driver in Ubuntu:
[01:52] <Wyzard> koro: 1) install Ubuntu
[01:52] <koro> so should i uninstall these and install through synaptic?
[01:52] <SeaPhor> koro, it did for me too,,, at first, for nearly the first week
[01:52] <Wyzard> koro: 2) Open that Hardware Drivers window and click the Enabled checkbox
[01:52] <Wyzard> koro: 3) Reboot when it tells you to
[01:52] <cellofellow> RyanPrior: I wouldn't think so. Mesa is software rendering of OpenGL, and AIGLX is a hardware accelerated thing.
[01:52] <Wyzard> koro: 4) There is no step 4
[01:52] <RyanPrior> !enter | Wyzard
[01:52] <ubotu> Wyzard: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:52] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ anyone Will the GUIDE - resize partition allow me to choose how much to use for partition?
[01:52] <koro> well i already did step 1) and i did something wrong after that since i installed the drivers manually
[01:52] <L> But I do suppose it was booting from a cd, so it couldn't write to it as if it were a drive I guess.
[01:52] <koro> so what would you suggest for my case?
[01:53] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, Yes
[01:53] <Wyzard> koro: right, so you should remove that, assuming nVidia provides an uninstall script
[01:53] <RyanPrior> simtower: I'm guessing it's failing because you're using the Mesa driver. Try switching to the proprietary one.
[01:53] <crakrjak> does gnome-terminal has the option to cut and paste highlight/right click style?
[01:53] <cpk1> koro: the same thing you used to install it can be used to uninstall it
[01:53] <Shpoo1> Also, I installed Heron, and now when I play a video file my screen blanks to either black or green and freezes the whole computer down to kernel level. Only way to restart is RSEIUB.
[01:53] <Wyzard> koro: Personally, I'd reinstall Ubuntu just to make sure it hasn't left any crud behind (since there's presumably nothing important on the machine yet)
[01:53] <simtower> RyanPrior, the open driver worked correctly with compositing in 7.10
 the installer does feature a functional partition editor, but you would probably be better off using GParted for ease of use.
[01:54] <Scunizi> LainIwakura: as a short explaination from a book I have. the 1st character is the file type indicator, the next 3 are for the user, next 3 are for the group and the last 3 are "other"
[01:54] <simtower> also i am using ATI, not mesa
[01:54] <Jordan_U> Shpoo1, If RSEIUB works then it hasn't frozen 'to the kernel level' :)
[01:54] <RyanPrior> simtower: glxinfo says you're using mesa.
[01:54] <koro> Wyzard: i didn't just install ubuntu, i have been using this box for quite a while now and i just updated to 8.04, but i have lots of stuff configured and installed and re-installing ubuntu is not an option i consider feasible
[01:54] <Wyzard> ok
[01:54] <cellofellow> simtower: what video card is it? ATI? Intel? NVidia? Intel and some ATI have compositing in the Free drivers, but no NVidia. Only the proprietary ones work for any acceleration. OpenGL and AIGLX.
[01:54] <LainIwakura> Scunizi: ok thanks
[01:54] <Wyzard> then use nVidia's uninstall script
[01:54] <Scunizi> LainIwakura: np
[01:54] <Shpoo1> Jordan_U: Oh. :-) I was told once that meant it was frozen at kernel level. Thank you! :-D
[01:54] <[DS]DragonSlayer> too late i chose GUIDED
[01:54] <simtower> cellofellow, it is FireGL 9000 and full accelleration is supported by the open drivers
[01:55] <simtower> and it worked fine in 7.10
[01:55] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hopefully it doesn't take all of my 54 gb of freed space
[01:55] <cellofellow> simtower: including AIGLX?
[01:55] <simtower> someone has changed the xorg autoconfiguration for 8.04 and it doesnt seem to configure properly anymore
 it won't format your drive unless you tell it to.
[01:55] <spork969> is there any program out there that will let me convert 120 images into a movie slideshow with some images lasting longer than others, etc. (pretty much windows movie maker)
[01:55] <Col> what can you use to make ubuntu look like OS X?
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Shpoo1, No, those are kernel commands ( each letter in the sequence is a different command directly to the kernel ), often you can just do alt+sysrq+K to kill X, what GFX card do you have?
[01:56] <Odd-rationale> Col: search for Mac4Lin
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Col yes
[01:56] <cellofellow> Col: avant-window-navigator.
[01:56] <Col> ok thanks
[01:56] <Shpoo1> Jordan_U: Intel 945 :-(
[01:56] <ihavenoidea> I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works
if you chose GUIDED - use entire disk, i would say you're in some hot water.
[01:56] <Odd-rationale> Col: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/
[01:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i chose use freed space
[01:56] <L> What is the recommended software to burn the ubuntu iso to a dvd?
[01:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer> will it allow me later to choose how much of freed space?
[01:56] <Odd-rationale> L: brasero
[01:56] <L> I burned it but, got an odd error.
[01:56] <rsk> L: imgburn
[01:57] <Jordan_U> L, in Ubuntu or in windows?
[01:57] <Shpoo1> L: What OS?
[01:57] <L> When I boot from the cd, it works, but I'm leery about installing if i got an error.
[01:57] <ihavenoidea> I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works
[01:57] <L> Vista, and I used imgburn.
[01:57] <Jordan_U> L, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[01:57] <BrianLy> I have a toshiba portege 3500 that is stuck in a text mode install at 'configure the network'
[01:57] <SeaPhor> koro, when you get it all fixed, look up putting your /home on a separate partition and you wont have to worry about doing a fresh install :-)) or look at http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=65
[01:57] <ihavenoidea> I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works
[01:57] <RyanPrior> L: the best FOSS burner for Vista IMO is Infra Recorder.
[01:57] <Shpoo1> BrianLy: There should be an option to configure network later.
[01:57] <Col> is mac4lin the only thing i need to make it look like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=C0N14ax1iKc?
[01:57] <koro> SeaPhor: i'm all ok with that, but i don't want to re-install all my software
[01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer> resizing partition sure takes a long time
 when i installed, i was extra careful and used Gparted to create the two partitions beforehand.
[01:58] <koro> i have compiled programs and stuff, etc
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !repeat > ihavenoidea
[01:58] <hazmat> how do you get apt/dpkg to show the files for an installed package
[01:58] <LainIwakura> Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have an irclogs folder which an irc client writes to. Now what group does this irc cilent belong to? The group under which I ran the program? That is, normally "user"? If that's the case, the minimal permissions for that folder would be u+w for the irc client to write to that folder?
[01:58] <Col> never mind
[01:58] <koro> i hate reinstalling the whole OS... even in my windows box i never reinstalled :)
[01:58] <RyanPrior> Col: Yup!
[01:58] <BrianLy> It keeps dropping me back to the network screen when I choose from next install steps
[01:58] <koro> in 4 years :P
[01:58] <Col> thanks Ryan
[01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer> Gparted? Where can i get that?
[01:58] <Col> google it
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> koro no backups?
 it's built in on the Ubuntu liveCD
[01:59] <RyanPrior> Col: Mac4Lin is a huge bunch of tweaks and hacks though, so it's not easy.
[01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> the partition editor?
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Col I use cairo dock to get my osx look
[01:59] <Jordan_U> hazmat, dpkg -l <package>
[01:59] <RyanPrior> Col: there's no "easy Mac4Lin installer" or anything.
[01:59] <koro> Jack_Sparrow: yes, but if i reinstall then making installed programs work properly without actually installing them is a mess
[01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> right now my computer is resizing the partition
[01:59] <sectech> How do I send a console message to an X terminal?
[01:59] <koro> especially if you compiled them from the source
[01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> it's been at 0% for a while now
[01:59] <Wyzard> Can anyone offer some insight into why 8.04 doesn't do font hinting as cleanly as 7.10 and earlier versions did?
[01:59] <SeaPhor> koro,   with seperate home, all settings are saved, i play COH which thakes 8-10 hours to download the latest image and ican fresh install and be playing 20 min later
[01:59] <Shpoo1> BrianLy: At the first network config screen, before you try to detect a network, there should be an option to skip or configure later, something like that. For some reason if you're at the list of install steps, it just brings you back.
[01:59] <Col> RyanPrior is there an easy way to make Ubuntu look like OS X?
[01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> can i just pull the plug on it?
[01:59] <koro> some of them don't work easily with checkinstall
[01:59] <mvinsc> does anyone know why i would have to log-in twice everytime i turn my laptop on?
[01:59] <Shpoo1> Col: www.gnome-look.org
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> koro no backupa made of your full os?
[02:00] <Carutsu> my laptop was cold and fresh but since I ran powertop and accepted the "tip" of making the USB devices autosuspend my laptop is a lot hotter and my battery barely last, further investigations lead me to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/136549 so, how do I correct it? perhaps I'm wrong thinking that that's the problem but this laptop is definetly hotter
[02:00] <Shpoo1> Col: All the OSX themes you could ever wish for.
[02:00] <cellofellow> Col: use DreamLinux maybe? That's the easy way. And yes, Gnome-look.org has some good resources.
[02:00] <Carutsu> so, how do I solve it?
[02:00] <koro> SeaPhor: i'm not talking about settings, i'm talking about software
[02:00] <jetole> hey guys, quick question, if I want encryption on hardy heron, will that be in the main desktop CD or on the alternate install CD like 7.10?
 System>Administration>Partition Editor is Gparted, but if you're already resizing your partitions through the installer, let it finish first.
[02:00] <koro> Jack_Sparrow: oh... no :/
[02:00] <RyanPrior> Col: the easy way would be to buy a Mac. The hard way is to do the various Mac4Lin tweaks, which includes things like Gnome themes from gnome-look.
[02:00] <Col> so use gnome-look to get themes?
[02:00] <cellofellow> Col: yes.
[02:00] <BrianLy> Shpoo1: It's in some sort of cycle, it's not on a network now I wonder if it connect it will it fake it out and let me continue
[02:00] <BrianLy> ?
[02:00] <Col> Im saving for a mac right now : )
[02:00] <jetole> Col: gnome-look.org is a damn good spot
[02:00] <RyanPrior> Col: a theme from gnome-look is only one part of skinning Ubuntu to look like a Mac.
[02:01] <eaglestar83> how do i change the font color of desktop icons?
[02:01] <cellofellow> Col: there's even ones that put the program menu in the panel.
[02:01] <Col> the dock?
[02:01] <cellofellow> Col: that's avant-window-navigator
[02:01] <Col> ok
[02:01] <Agilo> youtube on ubuntu doesnt display right
[02:01] <Agilo> does anyone have any fixes
[02:02] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: did you install flash?
[02:02] <Agilo> im not sure
[02:02] <Agilo> how to
[02:02] <Shpoo1> BrianLy: I went through the exact same thing, because I have to use windows drivers for my network interface. And I remember going through that loop, where it seems like it doesn't give you a choice. But I swore at the original screen was where I was able to skip it. I'd say try connect it real quick and see if it continues.
[02:02] <Agilo> sudo apt-get flash?
[02:02] <foxhop> [DS]DragonSlayer: Applications > Add/Remove > gparted search
[02:02] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: you'll want the plugin for your browser.
[02:02] <sectech> Does anyone know how to send a console message to an X session? like wall except delivered to X
[02:02] <simtower> can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? I get an error when enabling it in 8.04. apparently xorg is not using the ati driver despite being configure that way. how to fix?
[02:02] <bigtimer121> aglio: are you using firefox?
[02:03] <BrianLy> shpoo1: thanks back in a bit
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree ?
[02:03] <xtfusion> Soooooo.... whos the ubuntu-offtopic ops?
[02:03] <Shpoo1> BrianLy: No prob, let me know if it works. Oh, you won't have to stay connected for the whole install.
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> xtfusion whats the prob...  go to #Ubuntu-ops
[02:03] <amirman84> hey, i had everything working perfectly just a minute ago - now my resolution is super low and the screen resolution app wont go above 640-480
[02:04] <DefineKThyne> Agilo
[02:04] <Pelo> ryanakca,   interesting , it seems that if I have both gstreamer and xine install , I donT' get the blue line in xine anymore
[02:04] <xtfusion> okay
[02:04] <Agilo> yes define
[02:04] <Agilo> sorry
[02:04] <amirman84> i'm using hardy heron and i have an ati mobility radeon x1400, the driver was working perfectly just a minute ago
[02:04] <DefineKThyne> Agilo:uhmm...give me a moment here.
[02:04] <Agilo> k
[02:04] <Pelo> amirman84, and what is going on now ?
[02:05] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: you're on Firefox, right?
[02:05] <Agilo> yes
[02:05] <Carutsu> how do I enable autosuspend for the USB ports? (i disabled them because of powertop's wrong suggestion https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/136549 )
[02:05] <bigtimer121> agilo: if you are using firefox there should be a download popup or button that you can select and it will install flash for you
[02:05] <amirman84> i'm able to use everything except some of the more advanced compiz-fusion effects, i still have wobbly windows but no desktop cube
[02:05] <legend2440> does xmms2 work like xmms in hardy?
[02:05] <Jordan_U> amirman84, What did you do between the time it was working and now?
[02:05] <foxhop> Do you think the hardy heron update fixed any video issues with s3 savage card (ibm t23)
[02:05] <bigtimer121> amirman84: have you installed it using the synaptic package manager
[02:05] <foxhop> I don't have 3d vid
[02:05] <Agilo> bigtimer
[02:05] <Pelo> amirman84, try asking in #compiz then,  maybe your card is not strong enough to do it all, I know mine isnT'
[02:05] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: when you tried to watch your video, did you get the plugin pop-up thingy under your address bar?
[02:05] <RyanPrior> How can I use upstart to control things like apache? Right now I'm using invoke-rc.d but upstart seems like the direction Ubuntu is moving in.
[02:06] <bigtimer121> agilo: ya
[02:06] <Agilo> the video works
[02:06] <amirman84> pelo: it was doing it all a minute ago
[02:06] <Agilo> but the bottom play stop...
[02:06] <Agilo> buttons
[02:06] <Wyzard> foxhop: I don't know what video card is in a T23, but I used to have a T20 which had a savage, and it did not support 3D
[02:06] <Agilo> dont display correctly
[02:06] <simtower> can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? I get an error when enabling it in 8.04. apparently xorg is not using the ati driver despite being configure that way. how to fix?
[02:06] <Agilo> and the video is sub par
[02:06] <Pelo> amirman84, and what were you doing when it stopped ?
[02:06] <Agilo> compared to windows
[02:06] <foxhop> Wyzard: Thanks, its super savage s3
[02:06] <amirman84> the last thing i did was install gdektopsidget thing and onscreen keyboard and then uninstalled them
[02:06] <bigtimer121> Agilo: Then i don't know. are you sure you installed it properly, and are your settings not allow it to display right
[02:07] <Explo> I need help. I keep typing "sudo chmod 777 <directory name>" to change the permissions of a directory, but it only changes the top level, not the files inside. How do I get rwx permissions for ALL the stuff in there?
[02:07] <Shpoo1> Agilo: I believe the restricted-extras package has the plugin also. That's what did it for me. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. Substitute ubuntu for (k)ubuntu or (ed)buntu depending on what you have.
[02:07] <Invisionfree> When K3b gives the error "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" what's it mean
[02:07] <amirman84> but that didnt appear to mess anything up - i logged out and logged back in and now its like this
[02:07] <Pelo> simtower, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and restart X , see if that helps
[02:07] <Agilo> ill try that shpool
[02:07] <simtower> it doesnt Pelo
[02:07] <simtower> it uses MESA driver
[02:07] <amirman84> i tried removing and reinstalling the driver through the 'hardware drivers' thing
[02:07] <spork969> is there any program out there that will let me convert 120 images into a movie slideshow with some images lasting longer than others, etc. (pretty much windows movie maker)
[02:07] <simtower> which is not correct
[02:07] <Pelo> amirman84, did you try restarting the computer ?
[02:07] <foxhop> Explo: google unix chg mod cmds
[02:07] <Shpoo1> Agilo: It's a pretty big install though. ~350mb
[02:07] <bigtimer121> amirman: go to System/Preferences. is there a option for advanced desktop effects settings?
[02:07] <amirman84> pelo: i've restarted a few times
[02:08] <amirman84> bigtimer121: yeah i have that
[02:08] <youngoat> explo: or run "man chmod"
[02:08] <Agilo> shpool: its good and going
[02:08] <Agilo> already 15%
[02:08] <Pelo> simtower, open the xorg.conf file and replace the line   Driver vesa with Driver nvidia
[02:08] <bigtimer121> go in there and there is a option for the cube
[02:08] <Wyzard> foxhop: OK, that's apparently a pretty early 3D accelerator
[02:08] <Pelo> simtower, if that doesn't work try with nv
[02:08] <simtower> pelo there is no driver vesa line
[02:08] <Jordan_U> spork969, Look into stopmotion
[02:08] <Shpoo1> How do I load ndiswrapper at startup? Someone told me once, and I haven't been able to find the same method.
[02:08] <simtower> also its an ati card so uh
[02:08] <hypercool^> i'm having a ridiculous time getting my microphone to work. the rest of the sound seems to work fine. I've combed the forums but they are all for people who have no sound. Anyone know of microphone specific solutions?
[02:08] <foxhop> Wyzard: Yeah, not sure
[02:08] <Agilo> are you guys paid to do this here
[02:08] <Pelo> amirman84, simtower mesa then ?
[02:08] <hypercool^> Agilo: no
[02:09] <bigtimer121> amirman84: it is under desktop in advanced desktop effects settings
[02:09] <simtower> there is no driver line
[02:09] <Wyzard> foxhop: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3_SuperSavage_IX/C says glxgears should work but other things may lock X
[02:09] <RyanPrior> Agilo: Nope, we do it for pleasure and experience.
[02:09] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hobby?
[02:09] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oic
[02:09] <Agilo> very nice of you
[02:09] <Pelo> amirman84, try asking in #compiz maybe they are familiar with the issue
[02:09] <Shpoo1> Agilo: That allows will enable support for mp3 and wma playback, wmv playback, windows fonts, java, and other things.
[02:09] <MidgetSpy> how can I find out which files a package installs and where?
[02:09] <Agilo> so i just follow the instructions
[02:09] <MidgetSpy> (or where does the kernel headers .deb put the headers)
[02:09] <cpk1> hypercool^: run alsamixer in a terminal and check the mic isnt muted or anything?
[02:09] <Pelo> MidgetSpy, in synaptic yuou can check in the package properties
[02:09] <Shpoo1> Agilo: Yeah.
[02:10] <MidgetSpy> Pelo: no X installed
[02:10] <rjonesx> what is the name of the advanced desktop settings manager? it wasnt installed for some reason when i upgraded to hardy
[02:10] <Jordan_U> amirman84, Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf*" ?
[02:10] <RyanPrior> Agilo: If you spend a few hours a week helping other people through their problems, you'll be better equipped when you run into problems yourself in the future. :-)
[02:10] <bigtimer121> amirman84: did you find it?
[02:10] <Pelo> MidgetSpy, I thnk you can do a dpkg -l package name, but I am not usre, man dpkg for sure
[02:10] <Invisionfree> FUCK YOU K3B.
[02:10] <Agilo> right Ryan

[02:10] <FloodBot2> Invisionfree: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:10] <digbert> Hi. With 8.04, Firefox and Flash consume 100% of one of my cores on an AMD 5600+ running at full speed (2.8 Ghz per core). Is this common?
[02:10] <Shpooked> !language
[02:10] <ubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[02:10] <cyris|||> Where does AppArmor log to?
[02:10] <Pelo> Invisionfree, brassero now in hardy
[02:11] <Wyzard> digbert: yes, Flash tends to do that
[02:11] <RyanPrior> digbert: Unfortunately, Flash can do some funny things on Ubuntu.
[02:11] <Invisionfree> Pelo, what the hell does this mean? "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" when I try and burn
[02:11] <digbert> In 7.10 on the very same computer, this was not the case.
[02:11] <RyanPrior> digbert: Nothing we can do to fix it, since it's a proprietary blob.
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree Please tone it down
[02:11] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i notice when i watch h246 mkv file on my ubuntu, it's a bit laggier than when i'm on windows
[02:11] <Pelo> digbert, on 8.04 in firefox with flash,  it consumes 90% of my single core celeron D 2.4mhz ,  I donT' think it matters how fast the cpu is
[02:11] <digbert> Perhaps, but the Firefox version included with 8.04 is different than the one included in 7.10.
[02:12] <Agilo> shpool: doesn't solve it
[02:12] <LinuxLlama> Hi. I'm using ubuntu hardy x86-64, and I installed qemulator from the repository. When I try to start my VM in qemulator, it times out. Can anyone help?  "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" when I try and burn
[02:12] <Agilo> is that the thumbnails
[02:12] <amirman84> bigtimer121: i enabled it and then i couldn't type in pidgin
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree depending on the version of k3b there was a menu option to set permissions to allow you to burn cd's
[02:12] <digbert> Pelo: That's interesting. What do you think causes that?
[02:12] <Agilo> on the opening page of youtube
[02:12] <BrianLy> shpoo1: got it working thanks! I think this portege's hardware is a bit flakey but will know more once the broken windows install is replaced with ubuntu
[02:12] <Agilo> are not shown
[02:12] <yao_ziyuan> how do i *undo* this? svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes
[02:12] <amirman84> and when i tried disabling it the window kept moving
[02:12] <Invisionfree> Jack_Sparrow: If I run it as root would it work?
[02:12] <Agilo> the ones that constantly update
[02:12] <bigtimer121> amirman84: ?, does cube work for you?
[02:12] <Shpooked> BrianLy: Good! Hope you enjoy it. :-D
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree yes. and again, please tone down the language
[02:12] <rjonesx> anyone know the name of the desktop settings manager for compiz/beryl (you know - all the cool functions like Cube, etc). The manager doesnt seem to be installed
[02:12] <Pelo> Invisionfree, check your user's permission in system > admin > users ,  see if you have permission to record on the drive
[02:12] <amirman84> no, but it let me check it
[02:13] <Shpooked> Agilo: What video card do you have??
[02:13] <amirman84> bigtimer121: no but it still checked
[02:13] <Pelo> digbert, personnaly I think flash sucks
[02:13] <Agilo> shpooked: nvidia
[02:13] <bigtimer121> amirman84: do you know how to do it?
[02:13] <[DS]DragonSlayer> will Ubuntu have options for my laptop to lower the brightness/CPU power  on laptop LCD?
[02:13] <DarthGimp> is there a channel to discuss The GiMP ?
[02:13] <Jordan_U> Invisionfree, You should avoid running programs as root
[02:13] <Pelo> DarthGimp, #gimp
[02:13] <DarthGimp> thanks
[02:13] <Invisionfree> Jordan_U: Whoop-de-doo.
[02:13] <amirman84> bigtimer121: yeah i had all my settings configured and customized
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U agreed
[02:13] <bigtimer121> amirman84: ctrl+alt+left click+ movement of the mouse
[02:13] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, It depends on the laptop, it does for mine
[02:13] <DefineKThyne> I've got a bit of a problem here i'd like a hand with if anyone wants to take a crack at, but i may be in the wrong channel for it.. I recently resized my partitions and created a new one so that my Ubuntu and WindowsXP partitions have a common NTFS place to save files to share between them, now when i boot into grub on startup and try boot into windows, i'm taken to a grub command line. any...
[02:13] <DefineKThyne> ...ideas or somewhere to refer me too?

[02:14] <Pelo> Invisionfree, I had that issue with gnomebaker when I tried to make a copy of my fiesty dvd for someone,  I coul donly do it as root ,  just to copy the dvd tho burning one from scratch or an iso worked fine
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree may I have a brief pm please
[02:15] <Agilo> Shpooked: I don't know. Could you refer me to a site so I can test my flash.
[02:15] <rjonesx> how does one activate crash manager for ubuntu?
[02:15] <bigtimer121> amirman: did you select in Appearance the Custom button?
[02:15] <amirman84> bigtimer121: ATI mobility radeon x1400, i was suing the proprietary drivers which worked great through many logouts and reboots, and right now under 'hardware drivers' it says its enabled
[02:15] <Col> Unikon I expect so, I have not used it, but Windows Server 2003 you can
[02:15] <Invisionfree> Jack_Sparrow: No, I know what you're going to say, but I can't help it. I know you're an Operator here, but I'm pissed off enough I've almost hung myself toda y..
[02:15] <Shpooked> Agilo: Hmmm....I'm very fond of http://www.i-am-bored.com :-)
[02:15] <Wing_> unzip * <== why does that not work?
[02:15] <Wing_> The manpage implies that it supports wildcarded filenames.
[02:15] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: most online games sites are flash or Java now. try www.addictinggames.com and see if you can get something to your liking there to work.
[02:15] <Invisionfree> Jack_Sparrow: If you aren't PMing me telling me to calm down, then you can. :P
[02:15] <Wing_> But all it does it complain.
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree fine, then please tone it down, we understand your frustration.
[02:15] <[DS]DragonSlayer> in my GParted, it detects /dev/sda1 ntfs (windows) and /dev/sda4 (!) unknown, can i delete the unknown partition?
[02:16] <Jordan_U> rjonesx, You mean you are trying to generate a 'fake' crash report on demand?
[02:16] <amirman84> bigtimer121: yeah i customized my appearance, that was one of the first things i did when i installed this a few days ago
[02:16] <Pelo> Invisionfree, if you are ready to hang yourself over this I recommend you turn off the computer and go hang out with real live freinds for a few hours
[02:16] <Agilo> okay tanks
[02:16] <Agilo> Shpooked: the forum works
[02:16] <Col> iPhone, anyone konw if linux will come out for it?
[02:16] <Invisionfree> Pelo: Thats why I'd hang myself .. I have like 2 or 3 real life friends ..
[02:16] <Shpooked> Agilo: You'll have to go to one of the links and play one of the videos.
[02:17] <Col> InvisinoFree: wow, you have more than I do lol
[02:17] <LinuxLlama> Col: There is a project somewhere to get Linux on it
[02:17] <bigtimer121> amirman84: go to simple compiz configuration and see under the tab, destop if the cube feature is selected
[02:17] <LinuxLlama> I think on google code
[02:17] <adamsad1> Hey all... I'm new to Linux and jacked up my primary user account. I created a secondary user and want to get rid of my primary user & home. I deleted the user under "user settings", but how do I get rid of the home directory?
[02:17] <rjonesx> Jordan_U: I cant get Miro to start, but it doesnt cause any kind of error on the command line - i would like to see if a crash is occuring that is just not showing up
[02:17] <Invisionfree> adamsad1: rm -rf /home/user?
 i think unknown is just raw disk...how large is it?
[02:17] <Pelo> adamsad1, sudo rm -rf /home/username
[02:17] <Carutsu> can anybody help me,   over 30% of my interrupts are caused by USB, and I have none atached to this laptop!: 31.3% ( 41.2)       <interrupt> : uhci_hcd:usb2, ahci, ipw3945
[02:17] <amirman84> bigtimer121: yes, it is
[02:18] <Col> LinuxLlama:ok, ill google some more. Do you have a brother call MacHorse?
[02:18] <dabbill> how can i make it so that network drive on my network dont mount and appear on my desktop when tryin to browse files on my network?
[02:18] <Wyzard> Carutsu: That's output from itop, isn't it?
[02:18] <yao_ziyuan> in executing https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes, i permanently accepted that site's unsecure certificate. how do i revoke it?
[02:18] <Jordan_U> Col, Apple is trying as hard as they can to keep anything unauthorized off the iPhone, but they tried to prevent iPodlinux too, so there is hope :)
[02:18] <Carutsu> Wyzard: yes
[02:18] <DefineKThyne> LinuxLlama: or WindowsMule?
[02:18] <rjonesx> Jordan_U: Also, I dont have the desktop settings manager included for some reason, do you happen to know the name of that program? ie: used to control beryl settings...
[02:18] <Carutsu> Wyzard: powertop
[02:18] <Carutsu> Wyzard: no, powertop
[02:18] <bigtimer121> amirman84: do you have more than one desktop available? and does your computer tell you to restart?
[02:18] <Wyzard> oh, ok
[02:18] <amirman84> bigtimer121: the only other thing i can think of that changed before i logged out and back in when this started is that i unplugged my laptop
[02:18] <Invisionfree> Pelo: Thanks for the /notice :) Now, uh, if the GUI install runs deathly slow (As does Live CD boot) is the laptop unfit to run Ubuntu, or is oit just slow by default? :)
[02:18] <Jordan_U> !ccsm | rjonesx

[02:19] <amirman84> i have 4 desktops - 4 in one row, like you're supposed to have for the cube to work
[02:19] <yao_ziyuan> *in executing svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes
[02:19] <Agilo> definekThyne: I got into a game, it shows the first 2 seconds, then freezes
[02:19] <adamsad1> Invisionfree & Pelo - I tried that. I get a permission denied error (with sudo)
[02:19] <Agilo> How do I reinstall flash
[02:19] <Wyzard> Carutsu: Well, anyway, "uhci_hcd:usb2, ahci, ipw3945" means those three things are all sharing that IRQ
[02:19] <[DS]DragonSlayer> is anyone willing to message me to guide me thru GParted?
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree I got back my speed by killing off effects...
[02:19] <bigtimer121> amirman84: ok, hold on gonna check something
[02:19] <decay> how do i burn an iso to a usb drive instead of cd?
[02:19] <dabbill> how can i make it so that network drive on my network dont mount and appear on my desktop when tryin to browse files on my network?
[02:19] <holyguyver> in xfce is there anyway to regulate the max with of a rectangle in the task list?
[02:19] <justnuts> any1 here tried kvm / virt-manager?
[02:19] <Col> Jordan_U: Speaking of iPod Linux, that bricked my iPod Video
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> decay script iso2usb
[02:19] <Carutsu> Wyzard: so I can't be sure who triggered...
[02:19] <Pelo> Invisionfree, live cd will always be slower then an installed version,  it uses a portion of the ram as a virtual hdd
[02:19] <Wyzard> Carutsu: since "ahci" is your SATA controller, and "ipw3945" is your wireless, those are probably causing the majority of the interrupts
 i think i'm still here for another 30 minutes or so with nothing better to do.
[02:19] <Jordan_U> Col, You can always reflash it
[02:20] <Shpooked> Agilo: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree. the sudo apt-get install the same package.
[02:20] <dtolj> cannot find lgpg-error what package is that of?
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> decay Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh
[02:20] <Invisionfree> Oh .. joy ... "cdrecord returned an unknown error (code 254). Sometimes using TAO writing mode solves this issue." <- Go K3b go ..
[02:20] <Shpooked> then*

[02:20] <Shpooked> Does anyone know how to load ndiswrapper on startup?
[02:20] <amirman84> bigtimer121: i'm going to try uninstalling my ATI driver, rebooting, and then reinstalling it, to see if that works, i have a suspicion that it has to with some graphics card/power mode setting
[02:20] <Pelo> adamsad1, your new user needs to have admin priviledges,   or try doing it by booting hte live cd maybe
[02:20] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: open up a fresh tab in Firefox, and type "about:plugins" in the address bar and press enter.
[02:20] <bigtimer121> amirman84: go to synaptic package manager: then search for "compiz"  and see if it is installed
[02:20] <decay> Jack_Sparrow: i installed it. no man pages, how do i even run it?
[02:20] <Wyzard> Shpooked: Put it in /etc/modules
[02:20] <Pelo> Shpooked, put it in sessions  in the prefs menu
[02:20] <Invisionfree> Alright, I'm going to do a complete erase of this CD, then I'm moving to whatchamacallit.
[02:20] <Carutsu> Wyzard: oh, hm, well, this is weird, my laptop is way hotter than it used to be, all i changed was accepting PowerTop's suggestion to make autosuspend=1
[02:21] <Pelo> later
[02:21] <Agilo> defineKthyne: I think its installing now
[02:21] <Agilo> I did shpooked's way
[02:21] <Wyzard> Shpooked: You're talking about loading the ndiswrapper kernel module, right?
[02:21] <amirman84> bigtimer121: i remember when i was using windows my graphics worked on a less powerful setting when i unplugged, i think logging in with it unplugged caused some disturbance in the force
[02:21] <DefineKThyne> Agilo: alrighty then.
[02:21] <bigtimer121> amirman84: type this with out the qoutes "/join #bigtimer121
[02:21] <[DS]DragonSlayer> when i partition, do i make 1 for ext2 or ext3?
[02:21] <adamsad1> Pelo, my secondary has admin priv. I'll try from the live cd. Thanks.
[02:21] <Shpooked> Wyzard: Correct. I would just add "modprobe ndiswrapper" to modules, right?
[02:21] <Col> For all those interested, http://www.iphonelinux.org
[02:22] <Wyzard> Shpooked: no "modprobe", just the name of the module
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> decay read the beginning of the script with a text editor... sudo bash name.sh
[02:22] <hypercool^> i'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras but  fpdownload.macromedia.com|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80 is timing out. is this a common issue ? clearly my internet is working.
[02:22] <Invisionfree> Brasero is better than K3b? Yes or no, Jack_Sparrow and Pelo?
[02:22] <jaco1> hi all: I just installed gimp-gap to try my had at stopmotion. But how does one execute the application?? I'm using ubuntu gutsy
[02:22] <Shpooked> Wyzard: So just plain old ndiswrapper?
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree no opinion..
[02:22] <Wyzard> Shpooked: yep
[02:22] <dabbill> how can i make it so that network drive on my network dont mount and appear on my desktop when tryin to browse files on my network?
[02:22] <Shpooked> Agilo:  Any better by chance?
 i used ext3 for mine, and about 1.5 gigs for swap space.
[02:22] <Invisionfree> Jack_Sparrow: Why not?
[02:22] <Shpooked> Wyzard: Thanks, now I can finally have wireless when I boot up. :-D
[02:22] <Agilo> Shpooked: it installed
[02:23] <Agilo> but at the end
[02:23] <Agilo> it said
[02:23] <Agilo> the Flash plugin is NOT installed
[02:23] <Agilo> and NOT in capital letters
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Invisionfree We dont do polls in here.. plus.. I have not used it
[02:23] <[DS]DragonSlayer> tell me if this is ok: 12 gb for ext3, 3 gb for swap
[02:23] <Agilo> like after going through the whole process
[02:23] <spork969> Jordan_U, cool it looks great. one problem though, it doesnt work... i hit import frames and imported them all, but nothing happens when i hit play...
[02:23] <Shpooked> Agilo, did it give a reason?
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > Agilo
[02:23] <MidgetSpy> hey all, I'm trying to compile the driver for my RAID card and I'm getting a whole bunch of errors like: "Scsi_Cmnd" has no member named "use_sg" (different members each time) - the make fails. Assuming the driver code isn't broken (which is possible I suppose), is there anything I could try to do to troubleshoot it? this is on a fresh 8.04 install
[02:23] <Wyzard> Carutsu: powertop's changes aren't permanent, so you could reboot and see if your system goes back to normal
[02:23] <joshhunt> Hello everyone
[02:23] <Agilo> Shpooked: oh i c, I think it just downloaded it
[02:23] <crabsperof> hey
[02:24] <Agilo> I have to install it now
[02:24] <Wyzard> Carutsu: or just unload and reload your USB drivers
[02:24] <crabsperof> anyone around who can help me with a xserver question
 that will do nicely.
[02:24] <[DS]DragonSlayer> k thx
[02:24] <Carutsu> Wyzard: how do I do that?
[02:24] <Agilo> it said Download done
[02:24] <xjkx> what do you use on gnome to connect in dial connections ?
[02:24] <Agilo> Download done.
[02:24] <Agilo> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[02:24] <Agilo> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[02:24] <Wyzard> Carutsu: rmmod uhci-hcd; rmmod ehci
[02:24] <Wyzard> Carutsu: then load them again with modprobe
[02:24] <DefineKThyne> just to clarify, the swap partition is like the Pagefile in Windows, right?
[02:25] <bigtimer121> anyone have any ideas on why cube wouldnt work for some reasons even though it is selected in visual effects and apperance has custom selected
[02:25] <Wyzard> DefineKThyne: basically, yes
[02:25] <Wyzard> DefineKThyne: except it's a partition rather than a file
[02:25] <Shpooked> Agilo: looks like the flash plugin download is still broken. let me see if I have the fix in my bookmarks.
[02:25] <skrag> wyzard: whats the max size of the partition you can use for swap?
[02:25] <DefineKThyne> Wyzard: and so it's not embedded in the system partition so it doesn't hog disk space?
[02:26] <[DS]DragonSlayer> nother question, should i make it primary partition or extended partition for the ext3 & swap
[02:26] <wisedude> Is there anyone here familiar with WUBI?  I'm wondering if after Ubuntu is installed, it's possible to increase the HD space allocated to it
[02:26] <dodimar> how can i fix grub error 18?
[02:26] <Wyzard> DefineKThyne: Well, it takes away from your available disk space anyway...  the use of a partition is mainly for efficiency
[02:26] <Wyzard> DefineKThyne: (though it's possible to use swapfiles too)
[02:26] <larson9999> still getting about one lockup per day.  3 distros in a row now that ubuntu locks up but others don't.  making it hard for me not to completely change to arch :(
[02:26] <Wyzard> skrag: no idea, but it's probably pretty big
[02:26] <L> Um, can anyone help me with setting up a partition in vista?
[02:27] <SeaPhor> Jack_Sparrow, hey wanted to thank you for all your help, i've gone back to 7.10, and now i'm gonna try upgrade rather than the fresh install i did earlier, Thanks again and i've taken all notes so i wont have the same issues!
[02:27] <[DS]DragonSlayer>  should i make it primary partition or extended partition for the ext3 & swap

[02:27] <Geekthras> Hi, I'm trying to get Hardy using Wubi 8.04, but right now it says 0 bytes (0%) of 848 bytes @ 0 bytes/s. It doesn't appear to connect to cdimages.ubuntu.com
[02:28] <ckin2001> dodimar, do you have a boot partition?
[02:28] <joshhunt> I am having a small problem... I just installed 8.04 using wubi and everything appeared to go fine, except i cant figure out how to 'use' the nividia graphics driver. In the restricted drivers thing, it says the driver is loaded, but it isnt in use. When i go to enable compiz fusion via the appearance tool, it just tells methat it couldnt be loaded. How can i get this to all work?,
[02:28] <Shpooked> DefineKThyne: That was supposedly for performance reasons.
[02:28] <ckin2001> dodimar, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[02:28] <ouellettesr> has shared folders been removed in hardy?
mine is a primary partition.
[02:28] <Geekthras> wait dammit I fixed it by asking you >_>now it's going at 99 KiB/s
[02:28] <daedra> how do I save alsamixer settings?
[02:28] <daedra> it's not saving
[02:28] <Wyzard> joshhunt: Does the driver show up as "nvidia_new" in that window, or does it say "nVidia driver (for latest cards)" or something to that effect?
[02:28] <bigtimer121> joshhunt: did you enable the driver
[02:28] <[DS]DragonSlayer> thank you definekthyne
[02:28] <Carutsu> Wyzard: i think that worked... hm, perhaps, at least it feels so
[02:28] <Agilo> Shpooked: I realized that it is using some program called gnash to display youtube
[02:28] <joshhunt> Wyzard: nvidia new
[02:29] <Col> Netgear WPN111, how is it possible to set up without wired internet access?
[02:29] <dodimar> ckin2001: yes...
[02:29] <Shpooked> Agilo: gnash is horrible. I would remove it.
[02:29] <Wyzard> joshhunt: You're running into a bug:  sometimes the 8.04 installer doesn't download package lists, which leaves apt not  knowing about any packages, which makes the drivers window misbehave
[02:29] <Wyzard> joshhunt: Close that window, run "sudo apt-get update" from a terminal, then open the drivers window again
[02:29] <adub> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64789/     <--- horinzontal scrolling not implemented

[02:30] <adub> has anyone gotten gnome-phone-manager or gnokii to work on their computers
[02:30] <Wyzard> whitty: The root of the problem is apt not knowing the nvidia-glx-new package even exists
[02:30] <Shpooked> Agilo: Remove gnash first if you can. I think it can still override the flash plugin.
[02:30] <Carutsu> Wyzard: if i unload the usb drivers will i stop all the interrupts? i don't use a lot of USB devices I'd love to save as much power as i can :P
[02:30] <ckin2001> xjkx, pppd.  you may be able to control it with network manager, never tried
[02:30] <Wyzard> Carutsu: Not if the interrupts are actually coming from your SATA and/or wireless devices
[02:30] <wisedude> I installed Ubuntu with WUBI and allocated it 30 gigs, but now I'm trying to allocate it more retroactively, if possible
[02:31] <dodimar> Grub erro 18, i'm getting pretty upset right now when all of the chatrooms  i go to don't give me an answer and the forums is no help...
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> wisedude see the wubi faq site
[02:31] <joshhunt> Hmmm... are the repos *still* incredibly slow?
[02:31] <ouellettesr> Hello I just upgraded to hardy and now I dont have all of my shared network folders.
[02:31] <Wyzard> Carutsu: Disabling wireless is a good way to save power
[02:31] <joshhunt> !sources.list
[02:31] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[02:31] <Agilo> Shpooked: sudo apt-get remove gnash?
[02:31] <Shpooked> joshhunt: They've been back up to speed for me. Back to 1000kbps, instead of 40. :-)
[02:31] <ouellettesr> how do I get them back?
[02:31] <ckin2001> dodimar, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[02:31] <Shpooked> Agilo: Yes. :-)
[02:32] <mdgeorge> hi
[02:32] <bernardomr> hey, which version of java (+firefox plugin) is recommended for ubuntu 8.04 amd64?
[02:32] <Jordan_U> wisedude, Yes, there is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[02:32] <DefineKThyne> dodimar: i think error 18 means the partition can't be found, but i'm not too sure.
[02:32] <schmo1> Hey everyone
[02:32]  * Wyzard doesn't like the fact that pressing the power button in Ubuntu just opens the logout window rather than actually initiating a shutdown
[02:32] <wisedude> Thanks Jordan - I found know mention of it on the FAQ
[02:32] <Mindaxiz> where do i change system time zone etc so i dont have to do it for every new program
[02:32] <mdgeorge> my power went out last night while I was upgrading to hardy.  I'm not sure how far it got, I have some trouble
[02:32] <Shpooked> Wyzard: That can be changed.
[02:32] <schmo1> anyone in the mood for a challenge?
[02:32] <Wyzard> Shpooked: how?
[02:33] <xjkx> ckin2001, it's not a gnome app
[02:33] <ouellettesr> Does anyone know how to get shared folders back in hardy?!?!?
[02:33] <oddalot> schmol yes
[02:33] <schmo1> specifically having to do with differences between gutsy and hardy
[02:33] <oddalot> shcmol no
[02:33] <JPSman> trivia or problem?
[02:33] <dodimar> DefineKThyne: it is working fine before.. i fresh install ubuntu.. and now it is not working...
[02:33] <oddalot> lol
[02:33] <Shpooked> Wyzard: Preferences/Power Management. Then the General tab.
[02:33] <Wyzard> Shpooked: thanks
[02:33] <Carutsu> Wyzard: hm, can't get wired lol, i move a lot
[02:33] <SeaPhor> Col, i tried that adapter and never did get it going,,, check here for compatibility  http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[02:33] <Shpooked> Wyzard: No prob.
[02:33] <Carutsu> Wyzard: fortunately i disabled bluetooth devices in the bios :P
[02:34] <mdgeorge> first problem was none of my filesystems would mount.  I changed the entries in /etc to use /dev instead of UUIDs, does that cause a problem?
[02:34] <schmo1> oddalot: here's the lowdown: I'm on a laptop with Radeon 9600 chipset, and once I updated from from 7.10 to 8.04, all of the 3d accelleration disappeared
[02:34] <mdgeorge> my second problem is I can't log in, but I think fixing the state of my packages will solve that (I hope)
[02:34] <ouellettesr> can I downgrade back to gutsy?
[02:34] <oddalot> schmol sounds like you host hosed
[02:34] <schmo1> xorg.conf is still properly configured, and so is the driver, or so it seems
[02:34] <DShepherd> ouellettesr, i dont think so :-(
[02:34] <schmo1> host hosed?
[02:34] <JPSman> ouellettesr: if you find a way let me know :OD
[02:35] <DShepherd> ouellettesr, you have to reinstall..
[02:35] <oddalot> schmol does system->admin->hardwaredrivers   say enabled and in use?
[02:35] <ouellettesr> crap i need my shared folders, and i dont see that option in hardy
[02:35] <Col> SeaPhor: thanks
[02:35] <schmo1> nope, not enabled, not in use
[02:35] <mdgeorge> my third problem is that when I run apt-get dist-upgrade it says there are 12 packages are partially installed.  Hald seems to be blocking the rest.  There's some kind of failure when it tries to run the configuration
[02:35] <Shpooked> Oh, I have one more question: Whenever I play a video that's on my hdd, my screen blanks and freezes the computer. Has anyone had this problem, and know how to fix it? This is only since the Hardy upgrade.
[02:35] <mdgeorge> so, can anyone help me?
[02:35] <cky> schmo1: Can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
[02:35] <mdgeorge> please :)?
[02:36] <SeaPhor> Col, Granted, i didn't know then what i know now so its not impossible
[02:36] <oddalot> schmol you should try to enable them
[02:36] <Agilo> Shpooked: while its downloading I have another question. When I am typing, my mouse sometimes clicks on its own. Ever heard of this problem?
[02:36] <xiehuanxi> may i speak Chinese?
[02:36] <oddalot> schmol make sure your repositores work too
[02:36] <crabsperof> anyone know how to reconfigure the video drivers in kde4.. reconfigure xserver-xorg is just doing the keyboard
[02:36] <cky> mdgeorge: First, I would try to back up the system at this point. Then run "apt-get -f install".
[02:36] <Shpooked> Agilo: Not to insult you, but are you on a laptop?
[02:36] <astro76> !cn | xiehuanxi
[02:36] <ubotu> xiehuanxi: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[02:36] <ouellettesr> hardy is an old french word for vista
[02:36] <schmo1> enable them, even though it's the proprietary ATI drivers?
[02:36] <zeljko> join #ubuntu-classroom
[02:36] <ouellettesr> lol
[02:36] <Agilo> Shpooked: yes
[02:36] <Jordan_U> !cn | xiehuanxi
[02:37] <schmo1> I thought that wouldn't allow any direct 3d rendering
[02:37] <Agilo> Shpooked: why is it an insult
[02:37] <oddalot> schmol i don't know, i assumed it does
[02:37] <ouellettesr> is there an official hardy channel?
[02:37] <Shpooked> Agilo: My thumbs used to tap the touchpad when typing and do the same thing. You can turn off tap to click in mouse preferences. :-)
[02:37] <Jordan_U> ouellettesr, RIght here :)
[02:37] <mdgeorge> cky: I know this is a dumb question and I should just do the backup, but if all I care about is on my home partition, is it necessary?
[02:37] <DefineKThyne> dodimar: i encountered mine when i removed my linux from my computer at work, i don't know much about grub and i'm having some issues with it myself.
[02:37] <oddalot> schmol it sounds like you know how to get the direct 3d rendering, so why don't you just do that?
[02:38] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hey Shpooked, are u able to save battery on ur laptop when ur on ubuntu?
[02:38] <DShepherd> ouellettesr, this is it
[02:38] <cky> mdgeorge: Not strictly, but in the partitioning menu, make sure to "keep" the home partition.
[02:38] <ouellettesr> Jordan_U, where did the shared folders menu go that was under the system tab?
[02:38] <Agilo> Shpooked: alright thanks man
[02:38] <fire_medic_312> ubotu, how are you doing?
[02:38] <RedCell> Anyone know how to get a USB Mic/Ventrilo working properly?
[02:38] <dodimar> maybe my problem is not really important... well if I can't boot to ubuntu. there is no more reason on using it... after this day, if I won't be able to make it run, it's a goodbye. i need my system ASAP, tnx DefineKThyne for the response i hope you would be able to fix it...
[02:39] <crabsperof> anyone know how to reconfigure the video drivers in kde4.. reconfigure xserver-xorg is just doing the keyboard
[02:39] <schmo1> well maybe I'll give that a shot, we'll see what happens - gimme a minute
[02:39] <Shpooked> [DS]DragonSlayer: I haven't actually tried, but I get about 2 hours without using wireless, about 1.25 hours with wireless, and about 45 minutes watching a movie. I've been planning on looking into ways to preserve battery.
[02:39] <DefineKThyne> dodimar: have you tried another bootloader?
[02:39] <mdgeorge> cky: I'll give that a try
[02:39] <Jeb> question -- what would be a good dvd-rw drive to buy that will work in ubuntu 8.04
[02:39] <cky> mdgeorge: Good luck!
[02:39] <Agilo> Shpooked: I restarted firefox, and it works now with the new download. thank you so much.
[02:39] <fire_medic_312> i am using the beta of hardy, should i upgrade?
[02:40] <Shpooked> Agilo: If it's not that though, then I have no clue.
[02:40] <oddalot> k
[02:40] <Shpooked> Agilo: No problem. I'm glad you got it working. Enjoy :-D
[02:40] <monkeybritches> fire_medic_312: Yes
[02:40] <Invisionfree> Does Brasero not run under KDE?
[02:40] <Jordan_U> crabsperof, try asking in #kubuntu
[02:40] <fire_medic_312> thanks, monkeybritches can I do that through apt-get dist upgrade?
[02:41] <ubuntuGuest2008> anyone know why the live cd partitioner wouldnt show the partitions i have in windows? yet fdisk -l will ....also i can mount the win partitions too no problem ?
[02:41] <Shpooked> And now, I am off to work on my website. Goodnight everyone......have fun. :-)
[02:41] <dabbill> When i try to browse my local network, every time i click on a share it pops up asking for a password even tho i dont have a password setup on that drive. Also even when i try to browse shared folders on my local PC it asks for username and password. then auto mounts it and puts a icon on my desktop. Any way to make it so that it will browse more like windows? it worked that way in 7.10. Running 8.04 now.
[02:41] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i wonder if it can control my LCD brightness
[02:41] <mdgeorge> cky: that's odd, now hald seems to be installing without trouble.
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Invisionfree, I don't see why it wouldn't though many people try to use applications that look the same ( KDE apps tend to look out of place in Gnome and visa-versa )
[02:41] <Shpooked> [DS]DragonSlayer: It's supposed to, and says it does, but for me has no effect on the brightness.
[02:41] <ouellettesr> dabbill, I cant even find out how to share a folder on the network after upgrading to hardy
[02:41] <cky> mdgeorge: By using "apt-get -f install", or something else?
[02:41] <monkeybritches> Yes
[02:42] <mdgeorge> cky: yes
[02:42] <Shpooked> [DS]DragonSlayer: my laptop stays at full brightness on both battery and ac power
[02:42] <osiris> ouellettesr, you mean make a windows share ?
[02:42] <mdgeorge> cky: apt-get -f install
[02:42] <dabbill> ouellettesr, just right click and share for me
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oo
[02:42] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, Are you booted into Ubuntu right now?
[02:42] <monkeybritches> apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:42] <cky> mdgeorge: Good. :-)
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> yep
[02:42] <ouellettesr> osiris, yes
[02:42] <adub> does anyone run gnokii??
[02:42] <mdgeorge> it did the same thing as without the -f, except it seems to have worked
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i'm installing ubuntu on laptop right now
[02:42] <osiris> i had that bug
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> 60% done
[02:42] <Shpooked> [DS]DragonSlayer: I bet I could get 3 hours no wireless or multimedia if I could cut down to 50% brightness
[02:42] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, Do you have a brightness control key on your keyboard ?
[02:42] <Col> who was it asking for a ubuntu web editor earlier?
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> yep
[02:42] <pwcca> ok ive come to the conclusion that my wireless card isnt enabled
[02:42] <tyranos> does someone know y the video quality on my laptop is so bad ? videos constantly flicker
[02:42] <cky> mdgeorge: Yes, that command is supposed to try to be intelligent in detecting and fixing package dependency problems.
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i cliked it
[02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> didn't work
[02:42] <pwcca> can anyone help me enable it
[02:43] <bigtimer121> how do i install microsoft  media player??
[02:43] <Shpooked> pwcca: What wireless card?
[02:43] <chris32882> install windows
[02:43] <Jeb> What would be a dvd-rw that would work to burn DVD'
[02:43] <Jeb> retry
[02:43] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i wonder if it requires any program
[02:43] <Shpooked> (Okay, I WAS gonna leave)
[02:43] <pwcca> intel pro/wireless 2200bg
[02:43] <osiris> ouellettesr, try to make a share, let it install the package it needs, then reboot
[02:43] <mdgeorge> cky: I'm just confused because (at least as far as what it tells me) it did the same things in the same order.  I'm not complaining though :)
[02:43] <dabbill> When i try to browse my local network, every time i click on a share it pops up asking for a password even tho i dont have a password setup on that drive. Also even when i try to browse shared folders on my local PC it asks for username and password. then auto mounts it and puts a icon on my desktop. Any way to make it so that it will browse more like windows? it worked that way in 7.10. Running 8.04 now.
[02:43] <Jeb> What would be a good dvd-rw drive that would burn DVD's in Ubuntu 8.04 or 7.10?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, It works out of the box for me
[02:44] <monkeybritches> Why would you want to install WMP?
[02:44] <mdgeorge> cky: so that seems to have worked.  Is there anything else I need to do to finish the upgrade?
[02:44] <ouellettesr> osiris, I have to reboot?!?
[02:44] <ouellettesr> lol
[02:44] <monkeybritches> I've been trying to escape it...
[02:44] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i'll see if the brightness can be controlled once i finish installing 30% to go
[02:45] <Shpooked> pwcca: I don't have time to do the searching, but search for using ndiswrapper for your card.
[02:45] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, The installed system and the Live system should be pretty much identical, unfortunately in your case
[02:45] <Shpooked> pwcca: it seems most intel wireless have to use ndiswrapper and the windows drivers.
[02:45] <[DS]DragonSlayer> booo
[02:46] <osiris> ouellettesr, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/212098
[02:46] <lesjohn> i upgraded to hardy, and now when i click links in liferea or thunderbird they don't open in firefox.  what do i need to change?
[02:46] <osiris> a logout is supposed to suffice
[02:46] <windowshasyou> anyone know what happened to the ubuntu repo's? Seems they all went offline a week ago  and haven't come back up.
[02:47] <monkeybritches> dabbill: Try going into system settings > Disk & File Systems (or equiv. because I'm on Kubuntu) and editing detected drives and select automount
[02:47] <jmknsd_> !
[02:47] <jmknsd> you!
[02:47] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, That is not to say that there is no way to get it working though :)
[02:48] <Dr_willis> windowshasyou,  theres been a lot of load on them with the new release last week.,
[02:48] <osiris> there is a tool in hardy to find the fastest mirror for your location
[02:48] <monkeybritches> lesjohn: You're trying to open Thunderbird in Firefox?
[02:48] <dabbill> monkeybritches, its automounting network folders and i dont want it to.. i want to just browse it like you do on windows? I use to be able to do that on linux in 7,10, but cant seem to do it on hardy
[02:49] <Wolf23> can anyone help me please, when i was using gutsy my two hdd are windows and hdb5,and after upgrading to hardy the two hdd shows as 30.5 GB Media and the second the samething,how can i reback the two hdd windows and hdb5, thanx
[02:49] <windowshasyou> Dr_willis: I can understand that. but the problem is that while the repo folder still exists on the servers, they are empty. I was hoping someone knew why
[02:49] <to0w1r3d> I have 5 drives, 4 are part of a RAID 0+1, the other drive (non raid) I did a wubi install.  Looked like it installed find, but need to change the boot partion
[02:49] <b1n0ry> where do i find source packages? can i install them with apt?
[02:49] <lesjohn> monkeybritches: i click a link in thunderbird (in a message) and it doesn't open in firefox
[02:50] <DShepherd> so is the admin-shared folder thing done away with?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> windowshasyou,  could be that server got crashed/died/shutdown, or some other issue. try another server.
[02:50] <Yuji1> Is this Ubuntu help?
[02:50] <DefineKThyne> Yuji1: yup.
[02:50] <DShepherd> !hi | Yuji1
[02:50] <ubotu> Yuji1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:51] <adub> can someone help me find out what port my phone is on as far as usb  /dev/  ??  tty something
[02:51] <DefineKThyne> howdy Yuji1
[02:51] <Yuji1> Good. I recently got the CD (mail) and like, I tried installing it... ata2.0 SAct SErr msg
[02:51] <monkeybritches> Oh, I see
[02:51] <windowshasyou> Dr_willis: I have. Matter of fact, I went through the getdeb repo mirror list and not one of them have anything in them.
[02:51] <monkeybritches> What does it open in?
[02:51] <Yuji1> monkeybritches? ???
[02:52] <windowshasyou> Dr_willis: its not that big a deal though, I'll just get the sources for the stuff I want to update. But I was curious as to what is going on.
[02:52] <Yuji1> I can use the 7 one, the one I burnt. But not this one (7) from Ubuntu/canonical.
[02:52] <DefineKThyne> is there someone in here who is pretty confident in their GRUB skills?
[02:52] <LainIwakura> Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have an irclogs folder which an irc client writes to. Now what group does this irc cilent belong to? The group under which I ran the program? That is, normally "user"? If that's the case, the minimal permissions for that folder would be u+w for the irc client to write to that folder?
[02:52] <monkeybritches> Your simian cousins need trousers, too.
[02:52] <[DS]DragonSlayer> where can i dl some theme for my ubuntu
[02:52] <Yuji1> [DS]DragonSlayer Try googling for some.
[02:53] <LainIwakura> [DS]DragonSlayer: gnome-look.org
[02:53]  * Yuji1 writes that down.
[02:53] <LainIwakura> [DS]DragonSlayer: or kde-look if you use kde etc.
[02:53] <[DS]DragonSlayer> thank u
[02:53] <monkeybritches> lesjohn: You may need to change the associations for hyperlinks in system settings.
[02:53] <Yuji1> What is gnome/kde ?
[02:53] <LainIwakura> They are window managers.
[02:53]  * Yuji1 is entirely new to Linux etc.
[02:53] <Yuji1> ...Oh GUI basically?
[02:53] <LainIwakura> Gnome is installed by default and KDE is a popular alternative
[02:53] <LainIwakura> Yes
[02:53] <Yuji1> Popular why?
[02:53] <Dr_willis> windowshasyou,  im just using     deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/     for all mine.
[02:54] <monkeybritches> They are the two major competing window managers for most linux distros.
[02:54] <LainIwakura> I'm not sure, never really used it
[02:54] <LainIwakura> But it has nice icons and a start menu like Windows
[02:54] <LainIwakura> In KDE, that is
[02:54] <SeaPhor> have been for many years
[02:54] <Yuji1> Eh with my NVidia, Ubuntu sometimes had black windows, so I trashed it.
[02:54]  * Yuji1 thinks he'll be a KDE fan then.
[02:54] <DefineKThyne> in the spirit of internet wonders: www.thechurchofgoogle.org is quite a site to see
[02:54] <[DS]DragonSlayer> weird... i just installed ubuntu, when i typed in my login screen, the font size was ginormous
[02:54] <monkeybritches> Some people might recommend having no window manager at all...
[02:54] <LainIwakura> Yuji1: Do look into Fluxbox as well =]
[02:54] <Yuji1> Fluxbox?
[02:55] <soulwarp> is anyone else having issues with wine and get "preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000"?
[02:55] <LainIwakura> Yuji1: It's a beauitufl lightweight windows manager
[02:55] <LainIwakura> Yuji1: If you want something simple, you can also try out XFCE
[02:55] <pclync1> i have game system emulators on my system and after the upgrade to 8.04 they won't work. One has major flaws and is missing plugins and the other doesn't have sound. i've tried reinstalling also but to no avail :(
[02:55] <Yuji1> Beautiful? Opinioned, but I'll look it up.
[02:55] <Agilo> Anyone uses g++ to compile his c++ source code. I'm getting this warning: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header.
[02:55] <SeaPhor> Yuji1, I use nothing but NV cards and have had GREAT success
[02:55] <monkeybritches> [DS]DragonSlayer: When that happens to me I reboot and it fixes it.
[02:55] <Yuji1> SeaPhor: Black "insides" for window forms.
[02:55] <Yuji1> (Excuse my Windows speak)
[02:55] <DefineKThyne> i'm not entirely sure, but isn't there an Ubuntu Fluxbox derivative called Fluxbuntu?
[02:56] <soulwarp> there is xubuntu
[02:56] <LainIwakura> DefineKThyne: Yes
[02:56] <dan> Hey all, can anyone help me out with my Gutsy install's sound issues? I am not getting any sound and have tried the normal diagnostics and posting/reading in the forums.
[02:56] <orpras> Does anyone know how to get 8.04 to play flac files?
[02:56] <DefineKThyne> thought to.
[02:56] <DefineKThyne> *has an idea
[02:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer> ok i just installed ubuntu, are there Applications that i SHOULD install?
[02:56] <Yuji1> ...Too much stuff, gah, ok, my original question was why Ubuntu craps errors at me saying something about ata2.0 SAct SErr frozen (skipped some)
[02:56] <LainIwakura> orpras: Did you install restricted drivers?
[02:56] <orpras> yeah
[02:56] <Krampus> If I want to force Ubuntu to assign the same drive letters to a device (ie, I want my removable drive to always be /dev/sdg), how can I do that?
[02:56] <pwcca> it says  ndiswrapper
[02:56] <SeaPhor> Yuji1, not sure i follow you, i run db , my biz software, and games
[02:56] <orpras> My sound works
[02:56] <pclync1> i have game system emulators on my system and after the upgrade to 8.04 they won't work. One has major flaws and is missing plugins and the other doesn't have sound. i've tried reinstalling also but to no avail :(
[02:57] <orpras> But I can't get anything to play flac format.
[02:57] <[DS]DragonSlayer> lol my font is still giant when i login LOL
[02:57] <LainIwakura> orpras: Try installing flac?
[02:57] <orpras> Yeah, did that.
[02:57] <Juno> I'm just trying to boot from a CD and need an answer..
[02:57] <orpras> Installed all the gstreamer plugins I could find as well
[02:57] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i wonder if i have to re-install

[02:59] <soulwarp> is there anyone else having issues with wine and can't solve it with the work around mentioned from the forums?
[02:59] <eternal_p> compwiz18: try sudo modprobe
[03:00] <pen> anyone successfully update avant-window-navigator?
[03:00] <dan> Juno: I know it is normal for the bar to bounce back and forth, but I don't recall a green bar. I would give it a few minutes and see if it progresses.
[03:00] <compwiz18> eternal_p: sorry, that was using sudo
[03:00] <Beererde> hi. i am getting the problem that opera and other 32 bit programs dont run anymore on ubuntu 8... on 7 they did run. i have installed ia32-libs. what's wrong?

[03:00] <Jordan_U> [DS]DragonSlayer, System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Font, try changing the dpi
[03:00] <[DS]DragonSlayer> font size

[03:00] <Juno> Dan: Ok, thanks. ^_^
[03:01] <Sindacious> could anyone tell me how I can get "perl modules" for Ubuntu?
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> Chris|: mpd + appropriate codecs.
[03:01] <skrag> hi, this is a sub question but i have the folder i want to run my exe in a xp64 partition folder under the program files , the thing is linux doesnt allaow  parenthesis in command likes so my command line "padsp wine /media/disk/Program\ Files\ (x86)/World\ of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe -opengl" wont work, what do i use to make unbutu recognise the  ( )  in the foldername?
[03:01] <cellofellow> Chris|: Audacious
[03:01] <pwcca> in my system ---> admin ---> hardware drivers theres no list of drivers in it
[03:01] <fxfitz> Can anyone tell me how to get my BCM94311MCG wireless card to work?  This is the 7 I got from Canonical, the one I burnt worked until I threw the disc away saying yay Ubuntu's got here.
[03:01] <Chris|> -'+"
[03:01] <skrag> thank wiz
[03:01] <cellofellow> Chris|: no GUI, plays Wav, MP3, and Ogg, and a few others.
[03:02] <skrag> thanks compwiz
[03:02] <SeaPhor> soulwarp, have you tried crossover, its $5 but hay, i spend more than that just leaving the house
[03:02] <Chris|> for mpd?
[03:02] <Agilo> how do we access the manual for C++ from the terminal
[03:02] <Reck_> Hey all.  I am having some troubles getting Normal and Extra Visual Effects on Ubuntu 8.04.  Any advice?  ATI graphics card. :(
[03:02] <cellofellow> Chris|: MPD?
[03:02] <tonyyarusso> Chris|: mpd is music player daemon - it's for things like constantly running your music collection on a server setup.  I'm sure you could use it for one file, but that wouldn't be taking full advantage of its capabilities.
[03:02] <pwcca> anyone have any ideas how i can get my wireless to start working????
[03:02] <Chris|> i pretty much just want to add this to my openbox startup to play a file
[03:02] <mvinsc> fxfitz: i have BCM310 and ndiswrapper works with the xp driver
[03:02] <cellofellow> Chris|: umm, you'll just have to search for some mpd clients I guess.
[03:02] <dan> fxfitz: Try reading the information in this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760974&highlight=BCM94311MCG
 it all started when i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 i know it works under wine
[03:03] <cellofellow> Chris|: oh, just use play from sox or the built in aplay (if it's a WAV file).
[03:03] <Sindacious> could anyone tell me how I can get "perl modules" for Ubuntu?
[03:03] <Reck_> pwcca: Check System/Hardware Drivers
[03:03] <Chris|> hrm..
[03:03] <pwcca> its empty theres nuthin in there
[03:03] <Chris|> whatever would work for just a simple startup sound would work
[03:03] <[DS]DragonSlayer> for the font resolution, is 96 dots per inch ok?
[03:03] <cellofellow> Chris|: for a login sound in OpenBox, that's what you want.
[03:03] <cellofellow> Chris|: I use MPD for my server to play music via the network.
[03:03] <SeaPhor> soulwarp, have you updated wine before you upgraded and if not have you updated it since?
[03:03] <tonyyarusso> Chris|: oh, then probably sox, yes.
[03:03] <sarixe> hi, using the new samba gui in hardy, i can configure a shared folder.  but when i enable guest access, it becomes unavailable.  any help?
[03:03] <Chris|> sox is a program?
[03:03] <tonyyarusso> yup
my wine is up to date yes
[03:03] <Yuji1> Oh and...for downloading Ubuntu 8, should I click "alternative desktop CD" to download the LiveCD version?
[03:03] <sarixe> s/unavailable/inaccessible

[03:04] <skrag> ok so i got wow.exe working, how do i confirm its running in opngl?
[03:04] <Reck_> if you do not know what the alternate one is don't use it.
[03:04] <Yuji1> If I click it I get the liveCD?
[03:04] <pwcca> Reck_ theres nuthing listed in there
[03:04] <tonyyarusso> Yuji1: 8.04, not just 8.  And that depends on whether you want a Live CD or not, but if you don't know, you probably do.

[03:09] <danny3793> Hi, I've upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, and the only thing that carried over was my network information (drivers, ndiswrapper, etc.), the only thing that did not merge were my graphics drivers. I have an nVidia 8600 GT (MSI Brand), and I've tried everything to get it working. I have used Envy, that did not work so I uninstalled the drivers through synaptic, I then used the drivers (169.12) provided by nvidia.com, and those don't seem to
[03:09] <mattlon> dan:yes i have installed the settings package
[03:09] <dan> mattlon: press alt+f2 and type nvidia-settings and press enter. Maximize the window that appears. Navigate on the sidebar to 'X Server Display Configuration" and tell me if it detects two monitors.
[03:09] <cellofellow> Newbie: both stuff works for me in Gutsy, so Hardy should be fine.
[03:09] <Xamusk> hi

[03:09] <SeaPhor> soulwarp, i know, wait, you upgraded to hardy, have you tried on fresh install?
[03:09] <RyanPrior> How can I use upstart to control things like apache? Right now I'm using invoke-rc.d but upstart seems like the direction Ubuntu is moving in.

[03:12] <Agilo> Anyone here has experience with C++?
[03:13] <cellofellow> roachmmflhyr: Nautilus doesn't even use the Samba server to act as a client, so it's not your workgroup settings.
[03:13] <dan> mattlon: I'm afraid I've never tried using the twinview feature of the nvidia driver, so aside from tinkering around with settings in 'nvidia-settings' I am afraid I am off little use to you. I would advise posting on the ubuntuforums (http://www.ubuntuforums.org) or perhaps inquiring on the nvidia forums. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[03:14] <noodlesgc> fbc it is not too hard, kindof like a .bat file on windows, you may also look in Synaptic and see if you can find any other Video converter

[03:14] <EruditeHermit> tonyyarusso: apparently it is in the next release
[03:14] <pawan> it was working fine with gutsy

[03:15] <rockysynergy> I need evince support Chinese, and the wiki.ubuntu.org.cn recommend add deb http://archive.ubuntu.org.cn/ubuntu-cn/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse  into source list. But after I click "install the upgrade". The upgrde manager prompt me to approve the installation saying there might be chance malicious packages will be installed on my laptop. Do I approve it?
[03:15] <TuxOtaku> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770042 <---this seems to be a huge issue. has anyone come up with a solution??
[03:15] <[DS]DragonSlayer> can anybody help me w/ the font problem?
[03:15] <compwiz18> CJS3141: and I would use module-assistant to rebuild the module, but there is no ndiswrapper-source package in Hardy
[03:15] <krasher> i've used the nvidia-settings to set the 1024x768 resolution... and everytime i login, i have to repeat the procedure

 i don't know why it doesn't work on mine, i suppose i'll have to reinstall frsh and save my work
[03:15] <CJS3141> compwiz18: You mean you tried installing ndiswrapper with Synaptic/apt-get and it wouldn't install?
[03:15] <polter> anyone who can tell me why openoffice crashes every time I try to save a specific document, and why abiword can't save to odt properly?

[03:16] <SeaPhor> soulwarp, are you using the 64bit?
 i will try it on another HD. 32
[03:16] <f4g_newbie> is there a seperate place just for wifi? seems ubuntu has alot of issues with this
[03:16] <firstboot> if i have a windows os installed and want to install ubuntu onto remaining unpartitioned space what option do i use in the installer?

[03:16] <danny3793> Should I use Envy to install my Graphics Drivers, or do it myself? My graphics were working in Gutsy, but I cannot seem to get them to work on Hardy Heron :'(
[03:16] <awseft> Can someone msg me about some Ubuntu questions regarding dual core processor, mobile processor, and using multiply wifi profiles
[03:16] <RyanPrior> !envy
[03:16] <ubotu> envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[03:16] <cellofellow> rockysynergy: you need to add the public key for the repo to your apt configuration. Look at that wiki again and see if you missed a step involving apt-key.
[03:16] <ApOwen> Well at least yours loaded.  Mine forgot to install the stinking kernal
[03:16] <CJS3141> compwiz18: I think you need to type: "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to add it as a module--have you done that?
[03:16] <pwcca> i do iwconfig and i get this eth1      no wireless extensions.
[03:16] <SeaPhor> soulwarp, do this,,, use a 2nd hd for /home directory, then no long reinstalling ;-)
[03:17] <compwiz18> CJS3141: yes, FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found
[03:17] <f4g_newbie> firstboot: just install it and grub will set up a dual boot bootloader automatically...

[03:18] <cellofellow> pen: using Update Manager? apt-get? Aptitude?
[03:18] <f4g_newbie> firstboot: just use the free space
[03:18] <justnuts> thethimble: have u performed a cd check?
[03:18] <tonyyarusso> roachmmflhyr: what wiki page was it?
[03:18] <pen> cellofellow: it just says fail to install the unauthenticate packages
[03:18] <firstboot> f4g_newbie: ok thanx
[03:19] <compwiz18> CJS3141: I think so, but apparently it isn't.
[03:19] <roachmmflhyr> tonyyarusso, what do I need OpenPGP for?
[03:19] <thethimble> justnuts, i can't. the system hangs when doing a cd check also

[03:19] <cellofellow> pen: in Hardy? I know Gutsy just warns you and doesn't care one way or the other. They may have changed something in Ubuntu.
[03:19] <tonyyarusso> roachmmflhyr: that's how they're authenticated
[03:19] <jsoftw> Hey erm, for xfce4, where is the volume control plugin gizmo?
[03:19] <f4g_newbie> firstboot: obviously you dont want to pave over the whole disk... use the maual partitioner, its one of those things that is the same in alot of dostros
[03:19] <jsoftw> Whats it called as a package? I cant seem to find it.
[03:19] <pen> cellofellow: can you install that? it asks me to do a partial update
[03:19] <roachmmflhyr> tonyyarusso, thats how who is authenticated?
[03:19] <tonyyarusso> roachmmflhyr: the packages.

[03:20] <Auctionedllama> Hi all, I don't know if you mates can help me with this, but I have tried to install the "screenlets" many many times, and it always fails.. can anyone help?
[03:20] <cellofellow> pen: try aptitude, maybe in the "graphical" mode.
[03:20] <tonyyarusso> roachmmflhyr: I'm not finding anything, so it just comes down to whether you want to trust that archive or not, with no evidence to support the idea that you should.
[03:20] <Orbixx> mwarren: Xchat, or if you like CLI based stuff, irssi.
[03:20] <pen> cellofellow: oh
[03:21] <Starnestommy> mwarren: I like regular xchat and irssi, but not xchat-gnome

[03:21] <pawan> it was working fine with gutsy
[03:21] <tonyyarusso> roachmmflhyr: doh...you're correct.  That was all for rockysynergy, rather.
[03:21] <mwarren> not xchat gnome
[03:21] <pwcca> xchat gnome sucks
[03:21] <jsoftw> irssi is good
[03:21] <mwarren> ok ill try regular xchat
[03:21] <CJS3141> compwiz18: I don't think you told me, but what does "ndiswrapper -l" return?

[03:32] <doubledew> if i want a gui for my server, is it the ubuntu-desktop package I want to install?  i cant remember if its that or the gnome-desktop-environment package?
[03:32] <amenado> CJS3141-> you all are then welcome ..
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> MagicMoonLight: so Samba then.  I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but at least that will point you in the right direction.  I believe there is also a #samba channel that may be worth trying.

When the connection is idle it works fine, but when there's load is gets sluggish....any ideas?!?
