[05:55] <poimen> someone was using  XGL on dapper with this two sources in the sources.list?
[05:55] <poimen> deb http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main
[05:55] <poimen> deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main
[05:55] <rendo> GAH.
[05:55] <tobmoox> so i now got the error.  writing it into pastebin for yall.
[05:56] <rendo> Can anyone tell me why my browser crashes when I try and play a .wmv file, I just installed the codecs too.
[05:56] <nickrud> poimen, you can't ask questions on this channel about dapper untli the first :)
[05:56] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: what did you adjust?
[05:56] <jackson> Managu: will that create incompatabilities or just a (very) slightly larger /home?
[05:56] <poimen> ok sorry :P
[05:56] <torpedo|dog> I adjusted both "Microphone" and "Capture" quite a bit down.
[05:56] <foogle> I got a Kernel panic my install cd wont work anymore  I think it has some thing to do with segmentation
[05:57] <tobmoox> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14572
[05:57] <torpedo|dog> It's not distortion, it's just as if the data were randomly distorted, crimsun.
[05:57] <egad> what does the ubuntu install do when trying to detect network devices.. what commands is it running behind the scenes?
[05:57] <tobmoox> theres the paste of it
[05:57] <amphi> jackson: you could always adjust the uid on the second os before ever mounting the shared /home
[05:57] <nickrud> poimen, /j #ubuntu+1
[05:57] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: what if you use ``arecord -Dplughw:0 -fcd foo.wav'' ?
[05:57] <tobmoox> anyone know what thats about?
[05:58] <jackson> amphi: ah.. thank you.
[05:58] <IcemanV9> what are options of dpkg/aptitude to force install a package? it kept saying that my laptop did not meet swap space requirement. how do i bypass its requirement?
[05:58] <amphi> jackson: or don't create a normal user at all while installing the second os, and manually create a user with the desired uid
[05:58] <leojstewart> I'm trying to mount my windows partition, but there's no file name hda1 in /dev... can somebody please tell me what it might be?
[05:58] <tobmoox> i had slack on there before and just now put the install disc for ubuntu in, and started installing, and got that error
[05:58] <nickrud> IcemanV9, that's an odd error. What's the context?
[05:58] <trelayne> on kernels: I remember that when I attempted to compile one to make my sound card work like 9 years ago, I had lost support for some devices that WERE working. ANyone know how I can see what devices I do have (and any hw settings)  so that I don't accidentally remove support for something obscure?
[05:58] <rendo> !w32codecs
[05:59] <amphi> jackson: you can still have the problem of programs on each distro clobbering the other's dotfiles, perhaps
[05:59] <egad> okay.. so whats the command to get ubuntu to attempt to redetect network devices?
[05:59] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, nothing :-/
[05:59] <Managu> leojstewart: Either (A) there's a device file called hda1, (B) You've managed to mangle your installation, (C) you never made a complete install, or (D) you're not running Ubuntu.  Which is most likely for your situation?
[05:59] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: ok, so restore both 'Capture' and 'Mic' to 100%, and turn off 'Mic Boost'
[05:59] <tobmoox> theres too many people asking questions in this channel for anyone to help me out with this wierd error!  id appreciate a pm about it since it doesnt seem like anyone is available to help right now.
[06:00] <foogle> crimsun: Shall I get the dapper iso?
[06:00] <crimsun> tobmoox: patience, please.
[06:00] <rendo> Foogle: You can just wait 7 days for it the complete version.
[06:00] <crimsun> foogle: yes, if you can try the dapper flight 7 live cd
[06:00] <jackson> amphi: that stuff's beyond me for now (I'm still in the Linux noob stage, I'm afraid), but thank you so much for your help! people like you make me love this operating system and its community as a whole
[06:00] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, static static static that vaguely sounds like "la la la testing 1 2 3"
[06:00] <foogle> crimsun: actually none of my live cds work anymore
[06:00] <crimsun> foogle: the release candidate live cd should be out RSN if you can wait
[06:01] <varsendagger> hey i have .avi files that i think are encoded t mpeg   is there a way to tell if they are or not?
[06:01] <leojstewart> Managu Well, I'm running Ubuntu as we speak, there's no file called hda1, XP and Ubuntu seem completely installed, and I don't know how I would've managed to mangle my installation.
[06:01] <gnomefreak> 25th iirc the rc will be released
[06:01] <nickrud> tobmoox, put the exact errors on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and let everyone see. The more eyes, the better
[06:01] <tobmoox> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14572
[06:01] <tobmoox> there you go
[06:01] <Managu> leojstewart: sorry, that wasn't an option.
[06:01] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: hmph.  I bow out, you can keep oracle :)
[06:02] <leojstewart> Managu: 5.10 Breezy
[06:02] <jackson> another question. I have a 2GB USB drive and it some how got corrupted (probably because I forgot to unmount it. doh!) and now I can't manage to get it formatted via either GNU Parted, fdisk, or the Windows XP formatter. is there any way to restore this disk?
[06:02] <goffa_> ok... crimsun i did it with image... then i did: modinfo ieee80211 ipw2200 ... came up with version 1.0.3 for ieee80211 and 2200 diver 1.0.6
[06:02] <egad> I find it hard to believe no one in here knows networking setup here...
[06:03] <goffa_> you don't off hand know if those support wpa?
[06:03] <hyphenated> jackson: you can try running fsck on it
[06:03] <amphi> jackson: it's not hard; on the second os, don't let the installer create a normal user, then as root, do adduser --uid DESIRED_UID username
[06:03] <leojstewart> Managu: with SuSE Linux 10.1 (which used to be installed) windows was automatically mounted
[06:03] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, if so, there ain't no "mix" to mute
[06:03] <hyphenated> jackson: but if you can't format it, it's probably physically screwed
[06:03] <foogle> crimsun: problem solved I got segmentation faults and I checked my bios settings and its all good
[06:03] <IcemanV9> nickrud: heh. but is there a way to force install regardless of swap space requirement? like dpkg --force-(something) -i <package>??
[06:04] <goffa_> because when i do my sudo  sh remove_old i still get autoconf.sh missing
[06:04] <amphi> jackson: using the user id you got from /etc/passwd on the first os; thanks for your kind words, btw ;)
[06:04] <nickrud> tobmoox, ok. now, that's something who knows how the install works can at least read, and maybe know where to look
[06:04] <Managu> leojstewart: you could always try to put hda1 in.  "sudo mknod /dev/hda1 b 3 1"
[06:04] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: amixer set 'Mix' on
[06:04] <gnaunited> I have a dell inspiron 3200, it has no cdrom. I switched the hard drive into my other computer and did a dapper install. When I replaced the hard drive the xserver will not turn on. I tried this with breezy and it worked fine because of the two step install, but dapper is not the same. Any suggestions?
[06:04] <leojstewart> Managu: I just fixed the problem.  I'm a linux-newbie and realized it would be sda1 not hda1... my mistake.  Sorry for wasting your time, and thanks for the help. :)
[06:04] <tobmoox> does ubuntu have a second support channel?  it seems like this one is way too crowded right now for me to find help
[06:04] <MorbidHunger> well i got the sound card
[06:04] <MorbidHunger> and ubuntu detects it
[06:05] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: also unmute 'Stereo Mic'
[06:05] <Managu> leojstewart: ok, g'luck
[06:05] <MorbidHunger> but i plug in the speakers and ig et no s
[06:05] <MorbidHunger> sound*
[06:05] <xerophyte> why does the people use ldap then rational database ???
[06:05] <egad> will someone please tell me the command(s) to get ubuntu to attempt to redetect network devices?
[06:05] <goffa_> i'm amazed at the amount of help i'm gettng despite the business
[06:05] <nickrud> IcemanV9, depends on how the install is working. if it's looking at physical swap, and says, 'I must have a linux swap space of at least 1GB' then you're screwed. Increase your swap?
[06:06] <Managu> tobmoox: there's a support in a number of different languages, and there's #ubuntu+1 for dapper discussions.  That said, you're much more likely to get reasonable support if there's a crowd than if there's a dearth

[06:06] <Pyru> gnomefreak, hi!
[06:06] <Pyru> heh
[06:06] <MorbidHunger> anyone care to help?
[06:06] <Managu> !sound
[06:06] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[06:06] <slackern> I see you guys are talking about alsa and stuff, all off a sudden my mpd stopped working after a reboot, all other sound on the machine is ok though but the logs complain about that there is no card 0.
[06:07] <tobmoox> so..does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this then?
[06:07] <Managu> !patience
[06:07] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
[06:07] <IcemanV9> nickrud: dang. alright. thanks. i know there is a way, but i figure it out later. off to increase swap. *sigh*
[06:07] <slackern> heres a sample from the logs. May 24 05:36 : problems opening audio device while playing "little_smelly_monkey.mp3"ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
[06:07] <nickrud> IcemanV9, I have bowed before software reqs more than once.
[06:08] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, neither of those exist.
[06:08] <Managu> tobmoox: is there some particular reason you feel like debootstrapping an install?
[06:08] <slackern> but doing /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start 0 and stop 0 makes a difference everywhere else
[06:08] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: I'm looking at your amixer pastebin [14571] , and 'Mix' definitely exists.
[06:08] <tobmoox> im not sure what debootstrapping is, Managu
[06:08] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: same for 'Stereo Mic'
[06:09] <Managu> tobmoox: you're installing from the install disk?
[06:09] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, however, I can neither see it in Volume Control or alsamix...
[06:09] <tobmoox> Managu: it gave me that error during installation.  yes on the install disc
[06:09] <coolzone> Hi, I have been looking at some screenshots the other day of some program resembling gkreml, yet it was another one. It was sitting on the background being transperent, I cant remember the name of it. Does anyone know what that might be?
[06:09] <crimsun> slackern: pastebin ``cat /proc/asound/cards''
[06:09] <Managu> tobmoox: rather, booting and installing from the install disk?
[06:09] <tobmoox> Managu: it gave that error during base system installation
[06:09] <crimsun> torpedo|dog: Volume Control and alsamixer don't matter
[06:09] <tobmoox> Managu: which is booting and installing from the install disc, yes
[06:09] <slackern> crimsun: 0 [nForce2        ] : NFORCE - NVidia nForce2 \ NVidia nForce2 with ALC658D at 0xe8081000, irq 193
[06:09] <Managu> tobmoox: My first though would be to run a check to be sure your system is reading the CD properly (and that there aren't any burn errors)
[06:10] <Managu> s/though/thought/
[06:10] <torpedo|dog> Hm
[06:10] <erick> ALGUIEN SABE DE COMO INSTALAR CODECS DE VIDEO Y MP3

[06:10] <slackern> crimsun: fun thing it's just mpd that started complaining, rhytmbox and banshee are working.
[06:11] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Pyru about msg the bot
[06:11] <Madpilot> ;)
[06:11] <Managu> tobmoox: another burn might help, aye.  But what I was suggesting was to run the built in cd-check; there should be an option right as you're booting the install CD to check for errors
[06:11] <meowrose> hi peeps
[06:11] <egad> hello
[06:11] <Pyru> damn u Madpilot !
[06:11] <Pyru> lol
[06:11] <crimsun> slackern: pastebin ``cat ~/.asoundrc*''
[06:11] <Pyru> Madpilot, could you help me install java properly on my ubuntu installation please? without a !tell? lol
[06:12] <slackern> crimsun: No such file.
[06:12] <nickrud> (<Tab> means press the Tab Key) In the directory where you downloaded the sun jre, type sudo aptitude install java-package && fakeroot make-jpkg jre<Tab> . When that's done, type sudo dpkg -i sun<Tab>
[06:12] <meowrose> anyone running courier?
[06:12] <tobmoox> Managu: how do you run the built in cd-check after booting?
[06:12] <specialbuddy> should I get dapper drake now?
[06:12] <Madpilot> Pyru, assuming you're running x86, Java is a fairly straightforward install - have you seen the wiki page?
[06:12] <egad> will someone please tell me the command(s) to get ubuntu to attempt to redetect network devices?
[06:12] <Pyru> Madpilot, nope ;) I'm on a laptop and just installed ubuntu
[06:12] <Pyru> I am new to linux , this is my second day
[06:12] <crimsun> slackern: pastebin bzip2d strace -fF output
[06:13] <nickrud> just when does breezy expire?
[06:13] <trelayne> egad, in mandriva, you can start and stop the network
[06:13] <Madpilot> Pyru, welcome to Ubuntu, then. I'm afraid I'm going to inflict a !tell on you, though :)
[06:13] <Pyru> alright , if it helps
[06:13] <Managu> tobmoox: I can't hand-hold you through that, as it's been too long since I dealt with a 5.10 install disk.  I'd suggest reading everything, looking for "advanced" or "more options" at the very beginning
[06:13] <Pyru> ;)
[06:13] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Pyru about java
[06:13] <IcemanV9> question about swap - i already have 828Mb swap space, should i only add 200Mb swap to make it 1Gb? OR, should i have to create 1Gb swap?
[06:13] <specialbuddy> dapper
[06:13] <torpedo|dog> crimsun, I just might say that I have to wait until Dapper before this gets fix't.
[06:13] <specialbuddy> !dapper
[06:13] <_Pulgoki> so is it simple to switch ubuntu over to kubuntu?
[06:13] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than
[06:13] <torpedo|dog> Thanks, all
[06:13] <dusanyu> Pyru Welcome to sanity (atleast security :) )
[06:13] <nickrud> it's almost enough to tell people they must upgrade, just for java ease
[06:14] <amphi> _Pulgoki: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop I believe
[06:14] <gnomefreak> nickrud: java 1.4 is in repos in breezy
[06:14] <IcemanV9> _Pulgoki: yes
[06:14] <_Pulgoki> im just curious if there is anything else afterward
[06:14] <Pulgoki> because gdm and such
[06:15] <Pyru> dusanyu, thanks! heh
[06:15] <nickrud> gnomefreak, true, but some plugins & more recent java dependent sotfware doesn't work with blackdown.
[06:15] <meowrose> oyee poopoo about to hit the fan
[06:15] <slackern> crimsun: not quite sure how you mean, what is 'output' supposed to be output off?
[06:15] <meowrose> see ya'll
[06:15] <gnomefreak> nickrud: i dont think its blackdown
[06:15] <Madpilot> gnomefreak, that's only blackdown - and nickrud was being too kind, very little seems to work with Blackdown...
[06:15] <nickrud> And, the pyrotechnics on -legal and -devel are entertaining
[06:15] <gnomefreak> !javadebs
[06:15] <ubotu> In Breezy: j2re1.4 is in multiverse. In Dapper: sun-java5-jre is in multiverse
[06:15] <crimsun> slackern: no, strace -fF -o foo.txt mpd
[06:16] <gnomefreak> j2re1.4 is blackdown?
[06:16] <Madpilot> gnomefreak, AFAIK, yes
[06:16] <nickrud> gnomefreak, yes
[06:16] <gnomefreak> k
[06:17] <nickrud> entertaining is too flippant, I really hope they do continue their sun advocacy.
[06:17] <HugLeo> What's link gerate the sources.list automatic?
[06:17] <amphi> Pulgoki: dunno, never done it - nothing worse than perhaps 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm' I expect
[06:18] <egad> trelayne, but im in ubuntu... not mandriva hehe
[06:18] <MorbidHunger> can anyone help me?
[06:18] <nickrud> java-package may end up being history :)
[06:19] <jackson> would installing an operating system on to a hard drive from an ISO via QEMU be safe and create a stable install?
[06:19] <amphi> egad: does sudo ifconfig -a not show you the interfaces?
[06:19] <Managu> !tell morbidhunger about sound
[06:19] <CCcRocK> can someone tell me how to login as the administrator? im mad new to this ubuntu thing
[06:20] <amphi> CCcRocK: use sudo
[06:20] <CCcRocK> i made the administrator account or whatever but when i try to type it in it says i can;'t login from that screen
[06:20] <trelayne> egad, sorry..  but do you have a network startup script in /etc/init.d ?
[06:20] <Managu> CCcRocK: from what screen?
[06:20] <egad> amphi: that is correct, only loopback and ethernet
[06:20] <CCcRocK> the main login screen
[06:20] <spikeb> !tell CCcRocK about root
[06:20] <slackern> crimsun: hmm mpd is usually started with 'sudo /etc/init.d/mpd start' so i guess i'll have to figure out how to do that on a commandline and another problem it won't start giving the error until i connect with a client which tells it to start playing :)
[06:20] <amphi> egad: what's missing?
[06:21] <CCcRocK> yeah root
[06:21] <CCcRocK> how do i login as that
[06:21] <egad> amphi: something like wlan0 or the like ? hehe I dunno..
[06:21] <ikor> CCcRocK: sudo su - --
[06:21] <spikeb> look at your message window
[06:21] <amphi> egad: ok, wifi
[06:21] <egad> yah
[06:21] <amphi> egad: what card is it?
[06:22] <tobmoox> i tried another cd and got the same error.  its probably just not installable for some reason.  i'll probably just find another distro to use.  thanks for trying to help.
[06:22] <amphi> egad: /etc/init.d/hotplug restart might load the module for it
[06:22] <CCcRocK> thanks so much --;
[06:22] <amphi> egad: with sudo, naturally ;)
[06:22] <egad> amphi: its not so much a card i think.. laptop.. 'unknown broadcom device'
[06:22] <CCcRocK> ps this is my first time on IRC
[06:22] <amphi> egad: dunno about that, others in here have broadcom things
[06:23] <egad> amphi: the problem is when I installed ubuntu, I was at a location without an net connection.  so I skipped all the network stuff... if i could find a way to let it autodetect, I bet i'd be in biz
[06:23] <amphi> egad: it may not be [well]  supported
[06:24] <amphi> egad: although I think some broadcoms use the ralink chipset, which has a gpl driver
[06:24] <jackson> would installing an operating system on to a hard drive from an ISO via QEMU be safe and create a stable install?
[06:24] <slackern> crimsun: ok i got it now, at the end i connected with gmpc also so it'll do something so you get the info too.
[06:24] <amphi> jackson: heh, dunno
[06:25] <amphi> jackson: why not burn a cd?
[06:26] <mcquaid> hello, is there anyway to play back a flv file with sound?
[06:26] <mcquaid> mplayer doesn't at all, and totem xine shows video but no sound
[06:26] <spikeb> jackson: yes it would
[06:26] <slackern> crimsun: http://peterj1978.no-ip.com:8080/foo.txt.bz2 i put it up there.
[06:26] <crimsun> slackern: same issue, site/port blocked from work
[06:26] <amphi> jackson: could be worth a try, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, you might have to do some tweaking once you booted it on the real hw
[06:26] <jackson> amphi: mostly from curiosity. and that way I could still use my main OS while installing a second
[06:27] <slackern> crimsun: doh, how do i upload a bzip to pastebin?
[06:27] <MorbidHunger> what were those links?
[06:27] <crimsun> slackern: stash it on a Web site accessible via port 80.
[06:27] <egad> amphi: hmm that didnt do anything i dont believe hehe.. I did some command to get the eth0 to show.. but i forget.. can you think of similar commands I can try? hehehe
[06:27] <slackern> crimsun: kk
[06:27] <jackson> spikeb and amphi: thanks
[06:28] <VR_> hi everyone. i just tried launching firefox, and i get this  >  http://web.tampabay.rr.com/vr/firefox-error.png
[06:28] <VR_> im not sure wtf is wrong
[06:28] <MorbidHunger> still cant get my sound going
[06:28] <amphi> egad: you'd be better off to look for your laptop model at linux-laptop.net and tuxmobil.org, and see what info you get get on the card and the driver
[06:29] <dusanyu> bare in mind alot of the info on that site is out of date
[06:29] <jackson> if I'm running a LiveCD and it, say, doesn't support my wireless card, is it possible to load a module (ndiswrapper) from an external source (NOT the CD)?
[06:29] <egad> amphi: ok thanks.. but its easier than this.. i was able to manually (w/o any extra drivers) set up the ethernet device.. unfortunately the paper i wrote the terminal commands on, i have misplaced. :c/
[06:29] <Managu> egad: silly question, perhaps, but have you tried the networking config panel (System -> admin -> networking)?
[06:30] <amphi> egad: I thought you were talking about the wifi
[06:30] <tangent> how do you change the system resolution? when I change it only applies for the current user
[06:30] <lwizardl> anyone here use mythtv on a ubuntu distro ?
[06:30] <egad> Managu: hehehe yes, no dice.. :c/
[06:30] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell tangent about fixres
[06:30] <egad> amphi: I was... but they should be similar in concept.. to get showing through an ifconfig I thought ?
[06:30] <amphi> egad: how is it confgiured? manually or with dhcp? (eth0)
[06:30] <Managu> egad: and if you "dmesg | grep wlan", do you get anything?
[06:30] <tritium> lwizardl: I have
[06:30] <egad> amphi: dhcp I do believe
[06:31] <egad> Managu: just a sec let me try

[06:32] <Madpilot> [NP] Tangent, ^^^
[06:32] <Managu> lwizardl: I run mythtv
[06:32] <[NP] Tangent> oh
[06:32] <[NP] Tangent> there's another tangent in here
[06:32] <[NP] Tangent> how unusual.
[06:32] <MorbidHunger> help to fix sound?
[06:32] <tangent> gnomefreak, fixres is not installed by default?
[06:33] <jackson> if I'm running a LiveCD and it, say, doesn't support my wireless card, is it possible to load a module (ndiswrapper) from an external source (NOT the CD)?
[06:33] <egad> amphi: I'll try.. I was on a home connection (wired ethernet) before.. now im at a diff location (wireless) sooo.. i suspect the dhcp is just going to keep searching like the energizer bunny hehe
[06:33] <amphi> egad: just kill it
[06:33] <HugLeo> Is better aptitude or apt-get in the ubuntu?
[06:33] <Managu> jackson: possible?  Almost certainly.  Easy?  I wouldn't count on it.
[06:34] <mcquaid> is there a flv flash video) player for linux that supports sound?
[06:34] <Corey> hey guys
[06:34] <jackson> hey Corey
[06:34] <mcquaid> or do i need to convert it with mmpeg, which seems to require a recent cvs snapshot but can't get through to it's cvs server
[06:34] <Corey> Im using wine to try and open a .exe file but it comes up with an error
[06:35] <jackson> Corey: what's the error?
[06:35] <MorbidHunger> can anyone help me fix my sound?
[06:35] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: where were you in troubleshooting?
[06:36] <Corey> wine client error:2d: write: Bad address
[06:36] <Corey> admin@ubuntu:~$ Process of pid=0x0000002c has terminated
[06:36] <MorbidHunger> my brother had a sound card laying around
[06:36] <MorbidHunger> sound blaster 16
[06:36] <egad> amphi: yeah I know.. I was just hoping it would find it hehe :c/  maybe I should reinstall to let it automatically since my network devices? kind of crazy but I dont know what else to do..
[06:36] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: sudo modprobe snd-sb16
[06:36] <Corey> jackson: wine client error:2d: write: Bad address
[06:36] <Corey> admin@ubuntu:~$ Process of pid=0x0000002c has terminated
[06:36] <gnomefreak> tangent: fixres is not a package
[06:36] <MorbidHunger> i can start games, and i wont get an error about sound or anything
[06:36] <egad> since=sense
[06:36] <MorbidHunger> no such device
[06:37] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: do you have any cards detected?
[06:37] <MorbidHunger> how do i check?
[06:37] <jackson> Corey: what program is it? do you have your proprietary graphics drivers installed?
[06:37] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: ``cat /proc/asound/cards''  -> pastebin
[06:37] <Managu> egad: I think "since" was the appropriate word there =p
[06:37] <Managu> egad, nm, I misread
[06:38] <Corey> jackson: im not sure its a game called Artifact it installed alright then it wont load in terminal :(
[06:38] <egad> Managu: :cP
[06:39] <egad> so lets say I have just a loopback device listed.. how would i have created the eth0 device? would the sudo dhclient eth0 done it?
[06:39] <Managu> egad: very roughly speaking, every time you boot up, all the hardware in your system should be auto-detected.  I don't believe any part of this (excepting maybe such things as pcmcia) is specific to install
[06:39] <MorbidHunger> its doing nothing
[06:39] <Managu> egad: the upshot is that if your wireless is going to work, it should work fine without you needing to install
[06:39] <egad> hmmm
[06:39] <Managu> reinstall even
[06:39] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: ``cat /proc/asound/cards'' does nothing?
[06:40] <Corey> hey guys is it possible to use some program to get windows games to work on linux /
[06:40] <Flannel> Corey: wine
[06:40] <CCcRocK> how come when i try to open system -> administration -> users and groups, "starting users and Groups" appears in the taskbar for a second then just disapears and nothing happens?
[06:40] <Managu> Corey: depending on the game, wine (free) or Cedega (commercial)
[06:40] <Corey> Flannel: I tried using wine and got an error
[06:41] <Managu> egad: so I'd attack that first.  You'll need to know what type of wifi card/chipset you've got, and whether Linux has support for it
[06:41] <Corey> Does cedega work for everything ?
[06:41] <MorbidHunger> 0 [AudioPCI       ] : ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
[06:41] <Flannel> Corey: nope
[06:41] <MorbidHunger>                      Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0x20c0, irq 10
[06:41] <Managu> Corey: nope.  If you want something that runs every windows program perfectly, run windows.
[06:41] <Corey> Well the game im trying to play is fairly old
[06:41] <ic56> !cedega
[06:41] <Corey> its nothing awseome
[06:41] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: heh, that's an ensoniq rebadged as a sound blaster.
[06:41] <CCcRocK>  how come when i try to open system -> administration -> users and groups, "starting users and Groups" appears in the taskbar for a second then just disapears and nothing happens?
[06:41] <Corey> !cedega
[06:42] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: anyhow, pastebin ``amixer''
[06:42] <Corey> My freind is making a windows emulator :)
[06:42] <kioshi> cedega should work
[06:42] <Corey> and... it will be fast
[06:42] <MorbidHunger> ok that gave me alot of stuff
[06:42] <untung> hi, i have a portable usb harddrive. How to put it work in ubuntu?

[06:50] <Madpilot> shooters, even
[06:50] <_nano_> Is there a way to view CNN videos on firefox in ubuntu?
[06:50] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: so tell me the url...
[06:50] <Flannel> _nano_: do you know what format they're in?
[06:50] <Corey> enemy territory ok thanks
[06:50] <Corey> anymore :D ?
[06:50] <MorbidHunger> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14573
[06:50] <dli> _nano_, I know mplayer plugin works
[06:50] <[NP] Tangent> ubotu, tell [NP] Tangent about dapper
[06:50] <_nano_> Flannel, their website says that i need windows media player 9 plugin
[06:51] <_nano_> dli, really?
[06:52] <Corey> enemy territory was really laggy on my windows machine
[06:52] <phrowzen> hmm
[06:52] <Corey> will linux run it better ?
[06:52] <chavo> Corey, once you get enemy territory that's all you wan to play
[06:52] <phrowzen> i have never gamed before on linux, i have a decent gaming machine, a 6800GT vid card, 1GB ram, a64 3500+.. is linux even slightly comparable frames wise to running in windows?
[06:52] <wizzlefish> what's enemy territory?
[06:52] <wizzlefish> a game?
[06:52] <chavo> yes
[06:52] <wizzlefish> Linux and Windows game?
[06:52] <Madpilot> wizzlefish, yes
[06:52] <toad013> what's the module to for usb headsets
[06:53] <Madpilot> free to download, too
[06:53] <wizzlefish> oohh goody!
[06:53] <chavo> a free 3d fps it was supposed to be released as expansion for return to castle wolfenstein
[06:53] <Corey> ET was laggy when i had windows going
[06:53] <wizzlefish> but my graphics card and RAM and processor probably can't handle it
[06:53] <Corey> is it faster on linux magically ?
[06:53] <_nano_> depends how linux handles your graphics card I think....
[06:53] <chavo> Corey, I get the same performance on both
[06:53] <Madpilot> Corey, no idea, I've never run it on Windows. I'd doubt it.
[06:53] <_nano_> what kind of graphics card do you have Corey ?
[06:53] <Corey> NONE shared hahah
[06:53] <_nano_> :P
[06:53] <chavo> I've got a 6600GT
[06:53] <CCcRocK> can someone tell me how to run the system --> administration programs>??
[06:53] <chavo> oh no wonder
[06:53] <phrowzen> chavo, got a decent link to it?
[06:54] <Corey> its 128 shared thoe
[06:54] <tin_nqn> hello
[06:54] <CCcRocK> hi
[06:54] <_nano_> Corey, ok you mean you don't have a "Dedicated" graphics card...
[06:54] <chavo> phrowzen, http://enemy-territory.4players.de:1041/modules.php?name=files
[06:54] <_nano_> Corey, but you must have an integrated one?
[06:54] <Corey> no i dont :(
[06:54] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: and you don't hear any audio at all?
[06:54] <Corey> yes integrated
[06:54] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, just start one, use your user pw when Ubuntu asks for one
[06:54] <phrowzen> chavo, thank you
[06:54] <_nano_> Corey, what's the make of that card?
[06:54] <chavo> It's such a great game it's like 5 years old but I started playing about a year ago
[06:54] <CCcRocK> yeah i do that, then the program never opens
[06:54] <tin_nqn> I want mount a ntfs partition from my session in ubuntu live-cd
[06:54] <Corey> ati
[06:55] <CCcRocK> just disapears
[06:55] <tin_nqn> a try
[06:55] <Corey> radeon
[06:55] <Corey> something
[06:55] <CCcRocK> and i know the pw is correct
[06:55] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, are you logged in as the user you created during install, and using the password you made during install?
[06:55] <_nano_> so it's an ATI card ...
[06:55] <CCcRocK> yes
[06:55] <Corey> yup
[06:55] <MorbidHunger> no
[06:55] <lwizardl> tritium, Managu_away on a ubuntu distro?
[06:55] <_nano_> Corey, do you happen to know the number or name ?
[06:56] <tritium> lwizardl: yes
[06:56] <Corey> how can i check ?
[06:56] <CCcRocK> its ubuntu 5.10 if that makes any diff
[06:56] <CCcRocK> i didnt dl any upgrades yet
[06:56] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, odd - your account should have admin privs w/ your user pw...
[06:56] <Corey> it was 200M or something
[06:56] <_nano_> Corey, did you get a computer from a vendor? if so, then which one?
[06:56] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, have you enabled the root pw or anything like that?
[06:56] <CCcRocK> no
[06:56] <Corey> compaq
[06:56] <CCcRocK> i dont know how to login as the root
[06:56] <Corey> compaq presario 2500 laptop
[06:56] <CCcRocK> i am trying to enable my 2nd monitor
[06:56] <kioshi> sudo -s
[06:56] <CCcRocK> and install some things
[06:56] <CCcRocK> but i cant run any administratiove progs
[06:56] <_nano_> Corey, so may be they have the name of the graphics card in the product details
[06:57] <chavo> phrowzen, in case your wondering get the Linux 2.60 full install
[06:57] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, you can't/don't need to use root w/ Ubuntu
[06:57] <lwizardl> tritium, ok did you come across any issues with setup?
[06:57] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: are the speakers plugged into the ensoniq card?
[06:57] <CCcRocK> o
[06:57] <Corey> no they dont :(
[06:57] <Eleaf> yar!
[06:57] <tritium> lwizardl: no, not really.
[06:57] <phrowzen> chavo, :) okay
[06:57] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell CCcRocK about root
[06:57] <MorbidHunger>  yeah
[06:57] <MorbidHunger> i tried all the holes
[06:57] <phrowzen> chavo, trying to find a .us direct download link without registration, but i will use that if necessary ;)
[06:57] <wizzlefish> !hibernation
[06:57] <tritium> lwizardl: I'd stay and chat longer, but I've got a flight to catch early in the morning, and have some slides to finish.
[06:57] <CCcRocK> i read that root thing but i dont understand the sudo stuff
[06:57] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: they need to be plugged into the speaker-/line-out
[06:57] <wizzlefish> ubotu, tell wizzlefish about hibernation
[06:57] <phrowzen> woohoo found one
[06:57] <chavo> ok I just know of that site because I use the forums
[06:58] <phrowzen> such a small game... 250MB?
[06:58] <ubotu> rumour has it, hibernation is started using the /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh script.
[06:58] <lwizardl> tritium, ok becuase i'm using a p650 think thats going to be fine for video (sdtv) and music
[06:58] <lwizardl> tritium, ok np
[06:58] <chavo> yes It's quake 3 engine based
[06:58] <wizzlefish> thank ubotu
[06:58] <phrowzen> ic
[06:58] <tritium> lwizardl: p650?
[06:58] <Corey> I can run quake 3 good !
[06:58] <chavo> like I said it's an old game but it rocks
[06:58] <CCcRocK> i tried typing in sudo adduser MyName admin into the terminal
[06:58] <phrowzen> good :)
[06:58] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal)
[06:58] <lwizardl> pentium 650mhz
[06:58] <CCcRocK> then it asked for my pw
[06:58] <phrowzen> i played it briefly for windows a while ago i think
[06:58] <tritium> lwizardl: ah, okay.  ;)
[06:58] <CCcRocK> i typed it and pressed enter
[06:58] <toad013> get wine... get an emulator ... live history
[06:58] <Corey> hey who told me about wesnoth ?
[06:59] <chavo> It's all about teamwork and objectives, and some fragging sprinled in too
[06:59] <CCcRocK> then the admin apps still dont run
[06:59] <spikeb> is wesnoth any good?
[06:59] <spikeb> it looks interesting
[06:59] <Corey> im not sure
[06:59] <Corey> graphics look dull but looks good if its level up and stuff :D
[06:59] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, your default account had sudo privs then, but I guess your "sudo adduser $user admin" thing messed something up...
[06:59] <Corey> do i download source of wesnoth ?
[06:59] <IcemanV9> spikeb: yes it is, but not the best like nwn or wow :)
[06:59] <MorbidHunger> yes
[07:00] <hedrek> i've got a grub prob, grub isn't there anymore and i can't get to my system (i'm on livecd now).. i've tried everything i can think of to reinstall grub.. any ideas?
[07:00] <MorbidHunger> www.wesnoth.org
[07:00] <CCcRocK> so how do i enable the sudo privs
[07:00] <Flannel> Corey: no.  It's in the repositories.
[07:00] <MorbidHunger> or you can join #wesnoth

[07:01] <_nano_> Corey, did you try playing tuxracer on your notebook?
[07:01] <_nano_> Corey, how's the performance?
[07:01] <Ademan> how do you restart the x server?
[07:01] <Corey> _nano_: i dont know what that is ?
[07:02] <Ademan> X --restart
[07:02] <Ademan> ?
[07:02] <_nano_> Corey, are you on ubuntu right now?
[07:02] <Corey> yes
[07:02] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, OK, something's gone wrong. You're going to have to reboot the machine into Recovery/Safe mode and reset your account privs...
[07:02] <Corey> _nano_: yes
[07:02] <_nano_> Corey, on the games-->arcades...do you see any game called as tuxracer?
[07:02] <hexidigital_> Ademan: Control+Alt+Backspace will close X, then type startx
[07:02] <Corey> let me look
[07:02] <_nano_> Corey, ok
[07:02] <CCcRocK> how do i do that...
[07:02] <Corey> _nano_: I dont have an arcade section :O ?
[07:03] <student> I think
[07:03] <_nano_> Corey, sudo apt-get install tuxracer
[07:03] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, on startup, hold the ESC key down to get to grub's menu. Pick Recover Mode from that menu, that'll get you to a text prompt w/ root privs
[07:03] <spikeb> thats not fair
[07:03] <spikeb> the ppc edition doesnt have a recover mode
[07:03] <Corey> _nano_: its installing
[07:04] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, then type "adduser MyName admin", then "shutdown -r now" to restart the machine
[07:04] <_nano_> Corey, ok
[07:04] <student> daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:04] <Ademan> hexidigital_ its not working... :-/

[07:04] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, "adduser chris admin" would be what you'd want, I guess
[07:04] <Madpilot> student, quit it.

[07:07] <alexandre> tido
[07:07] <Tido> I'll try my best, alexandre
[07:07] <HedgeMage> Madpilot: good to hear :)
[07:07] <Corey> _nano_: it would run et good ?
[07:07] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, with adduser $user admin
[07:07] <_nano_> Corey, it should..coz atleast there's some 3d driver working...
[07:08] <p62> how to know have i installed winbind 3.0.14 a????
[07:08] <Corey> _nano_: i installed wesnoth but where is it installed to ?
[07:08] <litage> p62: search dpkg:    dpkg -l '*winbind*'
[07:08] <CCcRocK> madpilot, do i have to reboot in safemode before I type that in? because i just tried it and got "adduser: Only root may add a user or group to the system."
[07:08] <_nano_> Corey, i haven't installed wesnoth....what is it ?
[07:08] <Madpilot> Corey, try Alt+F2 and type "wesnoth"
[07:08] <MorbidHunger> just type in wesnoth in the terminal
[07:08] <Corey> a game where do thinkg get intalled to ok
[07:08] <Corey> ok
[07:08] <Corey> thanks
[07:09] <alexandre> sorry... i m in troubles with my connection
[07:09] <Corey> woah awseome
[07:09] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, yes, because you broke sudo for your account, you need to do it in safemode, which has full root privs
[07:09] <Corey> thanks madpilot
[07:09] <Corey> :D
[07:09] <Corey> is there a command to install et ?
[07:09] <hexidigital_> Ademan: did that help?
[07:09] <Corey> enemy territory
[07:09] <Madpilot> Corey, wiki.ubuntu.com/EnemyTerritory
[07:09] <_nano_> Corey, depends if ET is in the repos
[07:09] <hexidigital_> how do i uninstall a program installed using  ./install.pl ?
[07:09] <Tido> so I've been following the documentation for the Intel C++ compiler and have gotten it installed to /opt/intel/..., but when the documentation tells me to run a test compile with the command 'icc', bash doesn't recognize what I mean with that.  How do I get bash to know when I type icc, I want it to run the icc compiler?
[07:09] <MorbidHunger> something is like really fucked up here
[07:10] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, thanks i'll go try that and come back
[07:10] <Madpilot> MorbidHunger, language, please
[07:10] <spikeb> Tido: add icc to your path
[07:10] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, good luck
[07:10] <gnomefreak> MorbidHunger: watch your language
[07:10] <Corey> Madpilot: will typing that in terminal install it ?
[07:10] <Tido> ok, I'll research paths then, thanks!
[07:10] <Madpilot> Corey, no, visit that URL for install info for ET
[07:10] <spikeb> you bet :)
[07:10] <Corey> ok
[07:10] <MorbidHunger> this damn sound card jsut making me angry
[07:11] <phrowzen> buy a new computer

[07:11] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: do you hear anything with ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav''?
[07:11] <phrowzen> yep :)
[07:11] <MorbidHunger> im broke
[07:11] <_nano_> speaking of buying a new computer, all linux compatible laptops are really costly...
[07:12] <MorbidHunger> i hear nothing
[07:12] <phrowzen> i just bought a new laptop for school.. friggen pricy
[07:12] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: do you have any /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc* ?
[07:12] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  i just bought a Dell Inspiron B120 for school... the only thing i cannot get to work is wireless
[07:12] <IYY> hi, I need some help getting anonymous tftp server running (for u-boot)
[07:12] <phrowzen> i gotta run windows tablet pc ed. on mine though :( *sniffle*
[07:12] <_nano_> Hexidigital, well you can get the wireless to work...my woes are with the graphics card...
[07:12] <_nano_> Hexidigital, all cheap dell laptops have ati cards :|
[07:13] <Corey> awseome installing et :D
[07:13] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  i guess i lucked out :S
[07:13] <Corey> brb gonna go try out wesnoth
[07:13] <IYY> I tried using inetd and xinetd and they both just don't do anything
[07:13] <phrowzen> Corey, im almost there.. 97% done download
[07:13] <Corey> love youz :P
[07:13] <MorbidHunger> no
[07:13] <MorbidHunger> dont have that
[07:13] <_nano_> Hexidigital, what wireless card does your laptop have?
[07:13] <Corey> phrowzen: with game you talking about ?
[07:13] <phrowzen> ET
[07:13] <IcemanV9> phrowzen: then why r u here? :P   seriously, do you have ubuntu on it? does it work?
[07:13] <Corey> awseome
[07:13] <Hexidigital> broadcom 1370, _nano_
[07:13] <Corey> well ill talk to you later
[07:13] <_nano_> Hexidigital, hehe ... broadcom :P
[07:13] <phrowzen> IcemanV9, i use ubuntu on my desktop machine
[07:14] <phrowzen> IcemanV9, i dont use my tablet much yet, i will come september
[07:14] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  i tried fwcutter, but it didnt cut it...
[07:14] <_nano_> Hexidigital, yeah the fwcutter thingy is a bit erratic....i think using the ndiswrapper thingy is still a safe bet...
[07:15] <MorbidHunger> what should i do now
[07:15] <_nano_> Hexidigital, i've dell trumobile and it works with ndiswrapper... in dapper...
[07:15] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  ndiswrapper caused me to reinstall ubuntu :(
[07:15] <Commander-Crowe> HEY
[07:15] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: use the speaker-test utility (command line)
[07:15] <Commander-Crowe> I need help
[07:15] <_nano_> Hexidigital, no way!
[07:15] <egad> I can get graphcis working, cant get wireless.. heheh backwards to your problems
[07:15] <Verithrax> Does the version of Xorg that comes with Ubuntu Breezy support transluscency?
[07:15] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, apparently starting in FailSafe GNOME is not the same thing as safe mode? because thats what i did and still got the same error: only root can add a user group to the system
[07:15] <IcemanV9> phrowzen:  my bro-in-law have tablet pc for his school(work), i try to convince to install ubuntu. no luck so far. :/
[07:15] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[07:15] <CCcRocK> madpilot, how was i supposed to login cause i guess i did it wrong?
[07:15] <Commander-Crowe> I have a mac 6300CD
[07:15] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  yep... on dapper also... reverted to breezy... still no luck... then re-reverted to MS XP :(
[07:15] <Commander-Crowe> old I know
[07:16] <Commander-Crowe> and I can't get Ubuntu livecd to boot
[07:16] <Tido> hmm
[07:16] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, no, you want the safe mode/recovery mode, nothing to do w/ gnome
[07:16] <phrowzen> IcemanV9, i would like to try it to be honest, i mean im sure i could get it to work, but i dont think i would reach the full functionality as i would in windows, by installing it i thought i would only be doing it out of curiousity.. and i dont have enough time to reconfigure everything :(
[07:16] <Tido> spikeb, can you suggest a good phrase to use for my search?
[07:16] <Tido> I'm not really getting anything
[07:16] <_nano_> Hexidigital, hmm
[07:16] <phrowzen> anyways, ET is installed, gonna give it a shot! later skater
[07:16] <spikeb> Tido: actually, i can probably find something for you
[07:16] <MorbidHunger> still nothing
[07:16] <Tido> ah thanks so much!
[07:16] <Commander-Crowe> no one/
[07:16] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, that wasnt an option though the only thing i had to choose from was the sessions...was i supposed to press someting at startup ?
[07:17] <Commander-Crowe> no one?
[07:17] <Elmore> commander has a question
[07:17] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, yes, hold the ESC key during startup, you want to get into the GRUB menu before the graphical stuff starts up
[07:17] <MorbidHunger> this is stupid
[07:17] <Elmore> ask it again commander
[07:17] <spikeb> Tido: http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/path.shtml
[07:17] <Commander-Crowe> I can't get my MAc 6300CD to boot Ubuntu
[07:17] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, what is the GRUB menue going to ask me?
[07:18] <Tido> thanks so much!
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> what do I push
[07:18] <Elmore> I can't get my MAc 6300CD to boot Ubuntu
[07:18] <rredd4> Commander  type a C on boot up
[07:18] <spikeb> that's an old world machine
[07:18] <Elmore> good
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> I'll try that
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> hold it or type it?
[07:18] <rredd4> hold it
[07:18] <MorbidHunger> idont see why it just doesnt work
[07:18] <Elmore> if it doesn't work, come back commander
[07:18] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, nothing, it just has a list of options to boot, one of them will be recovery
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[07:18] <Commander-Crowe> brb
[07:19] <Elmore> ok
[07:19] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, it won't need any passwords to get root access
[07:19] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, ok cool brb
[07:19] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: we haven't ruled out that you plugged the speakers into the wrong jack
[07:19] <hedrek> !grub
[07:19] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[07:19] <MorbidHunger> i plugged them into all the holes
[07:19] <MorbidHunger> even the one that has a picture of a pair of speakers
[07:20] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: and ran ``speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:0'' for each one?
[07:20] <rredd4> with dual boot system, what minimum size partition do I need for dapper?
[07:20] <MorbidHunger> yes
[07:21] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: what about -Dplug:front /
[07:21] <MorbidHunger> i ran speaker-test on all of them
[07:21] <Commander-Crowe> It didn't woprk
[07:21] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: using the -D I just gave you?
[07:21] <Commander-Crowe> but it worked for the MacOS 8.1 reinstall disk
[07:21] <rredd4> Commander  using what os #
[07:21] <rendo> Has anyone else had any trouble with .wmv files crashing Firefox 1.5?
[07:21] <Commander-Crowe> 8.1
[07:21] <MorbidHunger> said command not found
[07:21] <paradizelost> just did a dapper install, there are no icons on the menu's
[07:21] <MorbidHunger> ill just switch to fedora
[07:22] <Elmore> me rendo
[07:22] <spikeb> heh
[07:22] <spikeb> fedora is even buggier
[07:22] <rendo> Elmore: every figure out how to fix it?
[07:22] <MorbidHunger> not for me
[07:22] <Elmore> nope
[07:22] <Elmore> happens on a livecd
[07:22] <rendo> Did you install using easyubuntu as well?
[07:22] <Elmore> my hdd died so i'm running a livecd for now
[07:22] <Elmore> yes rendo
[07:22] <Elmore> same thing
[07:22] <rendo> Well what the hell is wrong with it :@
[07:23] <rendo> It worked before. :/
[07:23] <Commander-Crowe> so no one can help?
[07:23] <rredd4> commander  did you hold the c key before u started booting?
[07:23] <Commander-Crowe> yes
[07:23] <Commander-Crowe> I press it
[07:23] <Elmore> if you run firefox from terminal and it crashes a error report will be in terminal
[07:23] <Commander-Crowe> and then turned it on
[07:23] <Hexidigital> can someone help me to uninstall a program installed with ./install.pl
[07:23] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: uninstalling a program installed that way is different based on the program that you installed
[07:24] <Hexidigital> ah, i see... thanks paradizelost
[07:24] <rredd4> Commander  it will not boot off of cd though, right?
[07:24] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: sometimes there will be something like ./install --uninstall
[07:24] <rendo> Hrm
[07:24] <Commander-Crowe> yes
[07:24] <rendo> /opt/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  6974 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1
[07:24] <Commander-Crowe> but it has
[07:24] <rendo> IS what it says
[07:24] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i'll check it out
[07:24] <Commander-Crowe> when I reinstalled 8.1
[07:24] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: what program?
[07:24] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  vmware server
[07:24] <sflash> i just downloaded apache for ubuntu. looks like it works. put in localhost and picks up, anyone know where this directory is on my hd or access to httpd.conf file?
[07:25] <sflash> maybe its not even set up, just seems like it
[07:25] <Elmore> rendo : if you run firefox from terminal and it crashes a error report will be in terminal
[07:25] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: then it's vmware-install.pl
[07:25] <rendo> I did that and that's what came up.
[07:25] <rendo> I want to know how to fix that :/
[07:25] <rredd4> Commander, isn't there a boot order in your control panel?
[07:25] <Elmore> oh
[07:25] <Elmore> sorry don't no how
[07:25] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, when i typed adduser chris admin it came back "group 'admin' does not exist" ... whats that supposed to mean?
[07:25] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i messed up the install.. i need to uninstall it
[07:25] <paradizelost> and it's vmware-uninstall.pl
[07:25] <rredd4> Commander, you should be able to click on the cd
[07:25] <Hexidigital> ah
[07:25] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: you just re-do the install, it'll over write
[07:26] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[07:26] <Commander-Crowe> gotta go
[07:26] <rredd4> bye
[07:26] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, that something is badly wrong with your install of Ubuntu, I suspect...
[07:26] <Commander-Crowe> tty all tomarow
[07:26] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i get an unable to execute error
[07:26] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: and not ./vmware-uninstall.pl -   from a terminal it's only        # vmware-uninstall.pl
[07:26] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: are you running as root?
[07:26] <Hexidigital> yes
[07:26] <MorbidHunger> yeah well im going to bed guys
[07:26] <paradizelost> using sudo or logged in as?
[07:27] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: are you testing dapper, or is this with breezy?
[07:27] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, if this is a new install, I'd think of reinstalling - I think you broke something, and that might be the simplest fix... (it's a drastic fix, but...)
[07:27] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, I foolishly did a manual install because i was trying to save files from windows but ended up losing them anyway, should i just re do the install but this time the default / automatic install?
[07:27] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: and EXACTLY what command are you typing?
[07:27] <rredd4> is 5 gigs enough for ubuntu partition?  dual boot
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> i think breezy
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> but im going to bed
[07:27] <crimsun> MorbidHunger: please test with current dapper when you can.
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> ill just install fedora
[07:27] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, the default install can do partitioning too, so you can save your Windows partitions
[07:27] <crimsun> or do that, whatever floats your boat.
[07:27] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, did you do an "expert" install?
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> yeah
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> thanx though
[07:27] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, yes i did
[07:27] <Hexidigital> ./vmware-install.pl
[07:27] <MorbidHunger> ill ttyl to u guys later
[07:27] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  ^^
[07:27] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, OK, just a sec. That I know how to fix.
[07:28] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell CCcRocK about expert
[07:28] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: what is the path, do a pwd
[07:28] <Corey> nearly done downloading ET :)
[07:28] <Hexidigital> /home/hexidigital/vmware
[07:28] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, write the command that the bot just sent you down, then reboot back into recovery mode and do it
[07:28] <Hexidigital> /home/hexidigital/vmware, paradizelost
[07:29] <MorbidHunger> /dev/sequencer
[07:29] <MorbidHunger> /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory
[07:29] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: did you move vmware-server-distrib?
[07:29] <paradizelost> to vmware?
[07:29] <MorbidHunger> could ubuntu not have installed something i needed?
[07:29] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i renamed it, for ease of typing
[07:29] <paradizelost> k.
[07:29] <MorbidHunger> aparently i dont have sequencer
[07:29] <paradizelost> k.  do an ls -al |grep pl
[07:30] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, note that everything between "addgroup" and "admin" on that page is one long set of commands - enter them exactly as they are there, except for that last )
[07:30] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, but do i replace you_normal_username with 'chris'?
[07:30] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, yes
[07:31] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  do you want to know that whole string?
[07:31] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  nevermind, i see it
[07:31] <paradizelost> just the first part, before it says root
[07:31] <paradizelost> what's the mode?
[07:31] <paradizelost> what part were you having a problem w/ on install?
[07:32] <paradizelost> you'll need to have installed      build-essential, xinetd, linux-headers-{uname -r}
[07:32] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i didn't install the kernel headers, so i was stuck in one part
[07:32] <ubuntu> hi there.. how to install stuff o ubuntu..
[07:32] <ubuntu> i realli am new
[07:32] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: ten you don't need to do that much of a reinstall
[07:32] <paradizelost> just install the headers and run
[07:33] <paradizelost> # vmware-config.pl
[07:33] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i hope :)  thanks for your help!
[07:33] <paradizelost> it will run you through the config again
[07:33] <paradizelost> i use vmware-server on EVERY box i have.
[07:33] <Madpilot> ubuntu, start at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[07:33] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, alright thanks again i'll be back
[07:33] <paradizelost> so i'm very familiar w/ the install process.
[07:33] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, luck
[07:33] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  if i can only get my broadcom drivers to work on my laptop...  :(
[07:33] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: wireless i take it?
[07:33] <Hexidigital> yep
[07:33] <Ademan> what IS the getty proccess?
[07:33] <paradizelost> give dapper a shot, a lot of stuff works in dapper that didn't in breezy
[07:34] <paradizelost> Ademan: that's your consoles
[07:34] <MorbidHunger> dont have a dapper cd
[07:34] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  i'm on dapper
[07:34] <ubuntu> thank ahh
[07:34] <yappa> Broadcom for my Linksys worked in dapper but not breezy
[07:34] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: ahh. k.  then TECHNICALLY.... you were in the wrong room.....
[07:34] <Madpilot> MorbidHunger, if you've got a Breezy install, you can upgrade it to Dapper
[07:34] <Ademan> paradizelost: well... uh... i have like 7 instances of that... (not windows, just the proccess) does that mean those threads are orphans? and should be killed?
[07:35] <paradizelost> Ademan: no, you have 6 consoles usually
[07:35] <Madpilot> Ademan, no, the gettys like to hang out in groups. there's a reason, but I can't remember what it is... ;)
[07:35] <Hexidigital> :) paradizelost but why go in there... only 9 days left
[07:35] <paradizelost> ctrl+alt+F1-F7
[07:35] <paradizelost> F6
[07:35] <MorbidHunger> how do i do that?
[07:35] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: true true.
[07:36] <paradizelost> not like there's anyone in there atm anyways...
[07:36] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell MorbidHunger about upgrade
[07:36] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  210... still more than the Windows rooms :-D
[07:36] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: 210, but 95% idle
[07:36] <Hexidigital> hehe
[07:37] <phrowzen> chavo, around?
[07:37] <MorbidHunger> wats the diffrence?
[07:37] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: also, whatever you do, do NOT run vmware w/ the sudo command
[07:37] <chavo> im here
[07:37] <phrowzen> chavo, mind if i PM?
[07:37] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  breaks stuff?
[07:37] <chavo> go ahead
[07:37] <Ademan> paradizelost: well, i CAN't shutdown right now, the menu doesnt have that option, so i assume some other user (probably root) has a proccess running that ubuntu thinks should not be interrupted
[07:37] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: yes.  then you get to delete your vmware preferences file
[07:37] <Hexidigital> sounds like fun
[07:37] <paradizelost> Ademan: what error are you getting?
[07:38] <paradizelost> Ademan: if you hopen a terminal and do a sudo init 0
[07:38] <SyNitE> CAn ubuntu support wireless card?
[07:38] <paradizelost> it should shut down no matter what is going on
[07:38] <paradizelost> SyNitE: yes, depends on the card though
[07:38] <MorbidHunger> it says its up to date
[07:38] <SyNitE> what if it a usb adapter?
[07:38] <paradizelost> SyNitE: depends on the card
[07:38] <paradizelost> what chipset?
[07:38] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: are you trying to upgrade to dapper?
[07:39] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, success!
[07:39] <MorbidHunger> indeed
[07:39] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, excellent!
[07:39] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: have you EVER used automatix on this system?
[07:39] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, haha thank you so much, you wouldnt happen to know how to enable dual monitors now would you ?
[07:39] <voraistos> curse automatix
[07:39] <MorbidHunger> no
[07:39] <MorbidHunger> never heard of it
[07:40] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: well, then, NEVER use it.  it breaks many things
[07:40] <paradizelost> including the updates
[07:40] <MorbidHunger> ok
[07:40] <paradizelost> !upgrade
[07:40] <ubotu> from memory, upgrade is Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note command line: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the bleeding edge.
[07:40] <MorbidHunger> is there like a cd image i can dl?
[07:40] <Flannel> MorbidHunger: EasyUbuntu is better for that sort of thing.
[07:40] <paradizelost> you did the gksudo "update-manager -d" right?
[07:40] <Madpilot> CCcRocK, nope, sorry. Hang out here and ask again in a bit, there's lots of other dual monitor users
[07:40] <paradizelost> !easyubuntu
[07:40] <ubotu> it has been said that easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/.
[07:40] <Ademan> paradizelost: well no its just the OPTION to shutdown is not there, not that i CANT (i'm sure from the console i could)
[07:40] <MorbidHunger> easy ubuntu?
[07:40] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, I had them running in windows, then when i made the switch to ubuntu one of them just stopped displaying anything
[07:41] <CCcRocK> Madpilot, alright thanks anyway
[07:41] <paradizelost> Ademan: are you using KDE w/ the GDM login manager?
[07:41] <mustard5> Ademan, are you on gnome and when you choose the logout option the menu fails to appear?
[07:41] <paradizelost> Ademan: or Gnome w/ the KDM login manager?
[07:41] <Ademan> just what mustard said
[07:41] <Ademan> paradizelost: no i think i'm gnome with gdm
[07:42] <mustard5> Ademan, this happens to me on occasion..and I just open another window....like a folder or a terminal and the menu 'appears'
[07:42] <yappa> Since nobody is in the xubuntu room...  does anyone know if Xubuntu is going to be released along-side dapper?
[07:42] <Madpilot> yappa, I think so, yes
[07:42] <yappa> sweeet
[07:42] <Ademan> i have 2 instances of gdm if that means anything
[07:42] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: did you get vmware working yet?
[07:42] <mustard5> Ademan, that sounds interesting hehe
[07:42] <paradizelost> Ademan: that is typical
[07:42] <paradizelost> i have the same
[07:43] <Hexidigital> paradizelost::  entering my key now :) much further than before
[07:43] <_nano_> Hexidigital, you there? did you check this link for wireless? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180936
[07:43] <crazy_penguin> good morning! // jo reggelt! // buna dimineata!
[07:43] <MorbidHunger> how do u untar a .bz2?
[07:43] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: tar -xvjpf filename.bz2
[07:43] <Hexidigital> _nano_::  thank you very much... i'll check it out ina minute
[07:43] <mustard5> Ademan, what are you using to see these two instances?
[07:44] <_ami_> Hi
[07:44] <paradizelost> mustard5: if i do a ps -eaf|grep gdm i have 2 instances on 4 boxes
[07:44] <MorbidHunger> cannot stat `lang/en/EasyUbuntu.mo': No such file or directory
[07:44] <_ami_> is Ubuntu declared the List of Selected students for Google's SOC 2k6 ?
[07:44] <MorbidHunger> this mean it wont be in english?
[07:44] <mustard5> paradizelost, yeah same for me
[07:45] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: easyubuntu 3.0 final is out
[07:45] <Ademan> mustard5: just the system monitor
[07:45] <eumario> Hidey Ho peoplerinos'
[07:45] <varsendagger> anyone have a gmail acount and windows?
[07:45] <mustard5> Ademan, choose logout from the System menu and then if the grey window doesnt appear, open a terminal, from Accessories menu and see if that makes the grey window appear
[07:45] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger:   wget http://robotgeek.org/eu/easyubuntu-3.0.tar.gz
[07:46] <yappa> what comes after dapper?
[07:46] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: then tar -xvzf easyubuntu-3.0.tar.gz
[07:46] <varsendagger> parrappa
[07:46] <paradizelost> yappa: eft
[07:46] <varsendagger> the rapper
[07:46] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: then cd easyubuntu
[07:46] <yappa> hahahaha
[07:46] <eumario> Got a problem with SSH not recognizing my RSA Key that I put in the authentication_key file on one of my servers.  Anyone got experince with using RSA keys and SSH/RSYNC?
[07:46] <paradizelost> MorbidHunger: then sudo python easyubuntu.py
[07:46] <mikebot> so like, my java was working in firefox, but now i get: "exception: java.lang.nullpointerexception"
[07:46] <mustard5> Ademan, it seems to hang for some reason on my system and opening something up makes it appear
[07:46] <mikebot> ors oemthign like that
[07:46] <Ademan> well the window appears, its just i only have hibernate, switch user and logout
[07:46] <Madpilot> varsendagger, gmail yes, Windows no - I  only use it at work. Why?
[07:47] <Taru> How do I install a burning program with ctrl+alt+F1?
[07:47] <mustard5> Ademan, ah ok
[07:47] <paradizelost> Ademan: is this the original created user?
[07:47] <Taru> Because I still cannot access the terminal normally.
[07:47] <paradizelost> Taru: what do you mean?
[07:47] <eumario> Taru: Which Burning program are you looking for?
[07:47] <mustard5> Ademan, how did you start the xserver?
[07:47] <paradizelost> using apt-get install?
[07:47] <Madpilot> Taru, Applications->Accessories->Terminal doesn't work?
[07:47] <paradizelost> Taru: try alt+f2 then type in xterm
[07:47] <Taru> I just downloaded XCDroast.
[07:48] <Ademan> paradizelost: yes
[07:48] <paradizelost> Taru: i recommend k3b
[07:48] <Ademan> mustard5: on startup
[07:48] <eumario> Taru: Is it a .deb package?
[07:48] <eumario> Taru: Or a .tar.gz package?
[07:48] <Ademan> mustard5: but i've been trying to shut it down through the console and i might have screwed things up
[07:48] <Taru> eumario, tar.gz
[07:48] <Madpilot> Taru, try just putting a blank CD in your burner - you should get a popup asking what you want to do with it
[07:48] <Taru> Madpilot, nope
[07:48] <paradizelost> Ademan: did you do any messing w/ the gdm configuration options?
[07:48] <Ademan> mustard5: i know i tried "sudo startx --help" and it created an "authorization something or other"
[07:48] <mustard5> Ademan, what have you tried in console?
[07:48] <varsendagger> Madpilot, i need a realtively fast computer that has windows to test some stuff
[07:48] <Taru> Madpilot, It is a CD-RW and I want to format then use it to burn
[07:49] <mikebot> what does this mean: "** Closing Connection: Unable to transfer data (Broken pipe)"
[07:49] <Ademan> paradizelost: i edited some resolutions in xorg.conf, which was why i wanted to restart x in the first place
[07:49] <mustard5> Ademan, I'm wondering whether you started the xserver with startx, and when you logout it will just drop you back to gdm or console
[07:49] <Madpilot> Taru, for CD-RW I think you might need k3b - install it thru Synaptic or "sudo apt-get install k3b"
[07:49] <paradizelost> Ademan: FYI, if you change the config, NEVER run startx with sudo
[07:49] <eumario> Taru: Ctrl+Alt+F1, cd <directory where you have it>, tar -xzf xcdroast-x.x.x.tar.gz  (Where the x.x.x is the version number of the one you downloaded), cd xcdroast-x.x.x, ./configure, make, sudo make install
[07:49] <MorbidHunger> how is this gonna make my comp better?
[07:49] <paradizelost> actually NEVER run startx w/ sudo anyways
[07:49] <yappa> So will most people stick with Dapper as a "stable" release until eft gets its feet planted firmly on the ground?
[07:49] <Madpilot> Taru, but if you can't use the menu items in Ubuntu, there's something broken in your install...
[07:50] <paradizelost> you will hose your .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files
[07:50] <Taru> Madpilot, synaptic dont work either.
[07:50] <Taru> eumario, ok
[07:50] <Madpilot> Taru, then something is badly wrong with your install. Did you do a default install?
[07:50] <paradizelost> Ademan: do a sudo rm -Rf ~/.Xauthority ~/.ICEauthority
[07:50] <paradizelost> scuse me, leave the R off of that
[07:50] <Taru> Madpilot, yeah my ubuntu linux is screwed, i want to reinstall it, but to do that I need a fresh cd of ubuntu, not corrupted
[07:50] <mustard5> Ademan, from console you should be able to shutdown with ...  shutdown now -h
[07:51] <Taru> Madpilot, i had a few errors during first installation.
[07:51] <Taru> Madpilot, maybe the cd, so i am trying ot burn onto a new cd.
[07:51] <paradizelost> mustard5: i'm betting his .Xauthority and such are messed up so it's not recognizing that he has permission to do those things
[07:51] <mustard5> paradizelost, k
[07:51] <paradizelost> i'd bet he gets logged off he won't be able to log in
[07:52] <paradizelost> Ademan: fyi, if you simply want to restart the X server, CTRL+ALT+Backspace is sufficient
[07:52] <Ademan> paradizelost: it never worked for me... lol
[07:52] <paradizelost> Ademan: were you by chance trying to get Xgl working?
[07:52] <Ademan> haha no
[07:53] <Ademan> i was just sick of 1900x1200
[07:53] <Ademan> and i knew i had 1600x1024 but it wasnt in the config, so i added it
[07:53] <Taru> Madpilot, It says "sudo: unable to lookup via gethostbyname()"
[07:53] <CCcRocK> Does anyone know how to enable dualies? I had dual monitors running in windows then i switched to Ubuntu and the second one is now disabled, how can i change that?
[07:53] <mustard5> Taru, I know that error well :)
[07:53] <paradizelost> Taru: you need to make sure your hostname is in /etc/hosts
[07:53] <Taru> mustard5, o.O
[07:53] <Taru> paradizelost, How?
[07:54] <mustard5> Taru, see paradizelost's comment
[07:54] <paradizelost> you'll need to get logged in w/ root privileges somehow, probably boot to rescue mode, and edit /etc/hosts
[07:54] <mustard5> Taru, most likely you will need to boot up in recovery mode..if you haven't set a root password
[07:54] <mustard5> Taru, I can pastebin instructions if you want...
[07:54] <Taru> mustard5, root password is set, but it says denied access even in root but not in safemode
[07:54] <mustard5> Taru, I've got them all written out already
[07:54] <Ademan> paradizelost: is there an alternative to ctrl+alt+backspace ? i assume its cause i have a laptop keyboard and they're screwy, but that doesnt work for me
[07:55] <Taru> mustard5, sure :D
[07:55] <mustard5> Taru, ok..hang ten..I'll be back
[07:55] <Taru> mustard5, ok :D
[07:55] <paradizelost> Ademan: it will always work unless you change the default config
[07:55] <paradizelost> make sure you are actually using control not fn
[07:56] <_smd_> Is there another email program I can use other than evolution?
[07:56] <paradizelost> Taru: did you use sudo su  - to set the root password? or are you talking the pass. you set on install?
[07:56] <Madpilot> _smd_, Thunderbird?
[07:56] <Flannel> _smd_: thunderbird.  mutt, there are tons!
[07:56] <paradizelost> _smd_: only a few thousand
[07:56] <Ademan> paradizelost: yep, and i havent touched that config
[07:56] <squiggly> GOOD BYE PRUDES
[07:56] <Ademan> its dapper beta though... maybe it starts out with a different config
[07:56] <paradizelost> Ademan: then do a killall -9 X
[07:56] <_smd_> haha thanks.  I just find evolution slow meh
[07:56] <Taru> paradizelost, i used sudo su to get onto root, but even then it still denies me to do the installation of k3b
[07:56] <mustard5> Taru, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14576   its formatted for a forum post, so you might have to ignore the forum code thats in it
[07:56] <goffa_> well... i got my ipw driver, firmware, and ieee80211 installed
[07:56] <paradizelost> scuse me - sudo killall -9 X
[07:57] <Taru> mustard5, ok thank you ^^: D
[07:57] <goffa_> but i must not have corresponding versions
[07:57] <goffa_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14575
[07:57] <Ademan> and then after that startx?
[07:57] <Schalken> does anyone here run ubuntu on 64bit?
[07:57] <paradizelost> Taru: then you haven't actually set the root pass?
[07:57] <goffa_> that paste was my dmesg... anyone have any idea?
[07:57] <noiesmo> hey all
[07:57] <paradizelost> Schalken: i do, but i had some stability issues.
[07:57] <Schalken> ahhh
[07:57] <ubuntu> amphi: hi i see your a 24 7 man
[07:57] <Corey> ok
[07:58] <Corey> ET didnt work very well :(
[07:58] <Schalken> do you know why you cant get flash and w32codecs on 64bit ubuntu, but you can use them on a 654bit SUSE?
[07:58] <ubuntu> mustard5 how's it going?
[07:58] <mustard5> ubuntu, good thanks
[07:58] <Schalken> 64bit*
[07:58] <paradizelost> Schalken: probably just need to get hold of the packages.
[07:58] <Taru> paradizelost, root pass is set for the same as my login pass
[07:58] <Schalken> hmm the 'restricted formats' page says you cant use them on 64bit
[07:58] <paradizelost> Schalken: i find that the easier way to do the flash, just use wine, install the windows version of firefox, and install the flash8 plugin
[07:59] <paradizelost> Taru: then su - instead of using sudo
[07:59] <Schalken> hmmm
[07:59] <ubuntu> why in the gparted gui are swap partitions always shown with a lock icon?
[07:59] <khaled> hi
[07:59] <Schalken> thats a bit of hassle just for flash
[07:59] <Taru> paradizelost, i tried that
[07:59] <paradizelost> ubuntu: because it's mounted
[07:59] <snowfaked> Taru: you can use sudo -i
[07:59] <paradizelost> Taru: did you get an error trying to login?
[07:59] <khaled> how can i repartition my working filesystem ?
[07:59] <mustard5> snowfaked, his sudo is not working
[07:59] <Taru> paradizelost, no just denying access to install k3b
[07:59] <paradizelost> khaled: cannot repartion linux while fs mounted
[07:59] <Taru> snowfaked, ok
[07:59] <snowfaked> oh
[07:59] <paradizelost> Taru: just do apt-get install k3b
[08:00] <khaled> paradizelost, any solutions ? may be .. login in as safe mode ?
[08:00] <Taru> paradizelost, it gives me gethostbyname() message
[08:00] <paradizelost> khaled: you'll need to log in w/ a livecd
[08:00] <noiesmo> Taru, hows your frostwire did it all work?
[08:00] <paradizelost> Taru: not using sudo
[08:00] <ubuntu> paradizelost: whats the umount comand from a live cd please?
[08:00] <paradizelost> the same as a umount command in normal linux
[08:00] <paradizelost> umount /path/to/mount
[08:00] <Taru> noiesmo, it works, but i have more serious issues like terminal and synaptic not launching
[08:00] <Schalken> i would just like to say Ubuntu is the best distribution EVER!
[08:00] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:00] <ubuntu> ok
[08:00] <Schalken> i have only used SUSE and Damn Small, and Ubuntu owns them hasnds down
[08:00] <paradizelost> ubuntu add a -f  if its being a pain
[08:01] <ubuntu> but how can they be mounted if i am in a live cd
[08:01] <paradizelost> Taru: try doing su - , then edit /etc/hosts and add your hostanme
[08:01] <paradizelost> then see if it work
[08:01] <paradizelost> works
[08:01] <mustard5> Schalken, glad you are enjoying it
[08:01] <khaled> paradizelost, can ubuntu universal cd start in recovery mode ?
[08:01] <Schalken> :D
[08:01] <noiesmo> Taru, not good
[08:01] <Ratzilla> how do i mount a cd?
[08:01] <paradizelost> khaled: why do you want recovery mode? you just want to repartition
[08:01] <paradizelost> ubuntu the livecd will mount the swap space so that it can use it
[08:02] <noiesmo> mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
[08:02] <noiesmo> Ratzilla, ^^
[08:02] <ubuntu> ok  silly question i guess
[08:02] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:02] <Taru> noiesmo, yeah =(
[08:02] <khaled> paradizelost, i want to repartition my /
[08:02] <paradizelost> Taru: once you have added your hostname then the getbyhostname() error should go away
[08:02] <Kr0ntab> sup Ratzilla
[08:02] <paradizelost> khaled: i think there's a gparted livecd
[08:02] <noiesmo> Taru, do you know whats happened
[08:02] <paradizelost> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:02] <ubuntu> so umount /dev/hda/ whatever hda it is?
[08:03] <mormoloc> i have GTK 2.0. how can i install/compile GTK 2.6 - 2.8?
[08:03] <mustard5> noiesmo, yeah.he's fixing it now
[08:03] <Schalken> what is hde for anyway?
[08:03] <noiesmo> mustard5, cool
[08:03] <paradizelost> ubuntu: just do a    # swapoff
[08:03] <Schalken> hda*
[08:03] <Taru> noiesmo, no
[08:03] <paradizelost> # swapoff /dev/hd##
[08:03] <khaled> paradizelost, thank you
[08:03] <mustard5> Taru, paradizelost is giving you the solution :)
[08:03] <ubuntu> ok that simple thanks
[08:03] <Ratzilla> noiesmo: thanks
[08:03] <Ratzilla> Kr0ntab: pretty good :) network is great now
[08:03] <Taru> paradizelost, wont let me add /etc/hosts access denied, gotta go to safe mode then
[08:04] <Kr0ntab> :-)  cool
[08:04] <paradizelost> Taru: DO AN # su -
[08:04] <paradizelost> k?
[08:04] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:04] <paradizelost> you will now be root
[08:04] <paradizelost> once you type in the password
[08:04] <paradizelost> now, use your editor of choice, vim, nano, pico, emacs, whatever
[08:04] <paradizelost> i.e.    vim /etc/hosts
[08:04] <paradizelost> and put your hostname at the end of the line that has 127.0.0.1
[08:05] <paradizelost> if you don't know for sure what your hostname is, do a # hostname
[08:05] <ubuntu> is there a sofware prog that can repair the sectors in a hard drive if i run ubuntu no problem but sarge no way i end up having to disable usb in BIOS so it will install?
[08:05] <Taru> "DO AN # su -"?
[08:05] <paradizelost> ubuntu: that would have nothing to do w/ the sectors on the hard drive
[08:05] <paradizelost> Taru: open a terminal
[08:05] <paradizelost> Taru: type in
[08:05] <ubuntu> ok
[08:05] <paradizelost> Taru: su -
[08:06] <ubuntu> just a thought
[08:06] <Taru> ok
[08:06] <paradizelost> Taru: it asks for a password
[08:06] <mustard5> Taru, not the space between su and the '-'
[08:06] <paradizelost> Taru: when you type in the password, what does it say?
[08:06] <Taru> paradizelost, I'm in.
[08:06] <paradizelost> Taru: k.  now type hostname and press enter
[08:06] <ubuntu> last two days working  out of a live cd is no joke
[08:06] <paradizelost> write that down EXACTLY as it appears
[08:07] <paradizelost> and FYI for all who think they need recovery mode, at your grub menu, press E on the kernel line that you use
[08:07] <paradizelost> on the line that has the kernel, type e
[08:07] <paradizelost> then add init=/bin/bash at the end
[08:07] <paradizelost> press esc, then b
[08:07] <Taru> paradizelost, when i typed hostname, it just made a space and nothing.
[08:08] <paradizelost> Taru: try doing a              cat /etc/hostname
[08:08] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:08] <paradizelost> what does that say?
[08:08] <ubuntu> even grt kernel panic in recovey mode  kernel panic not sycing I/O error READING memory image
[08:09] <Taru> paradizelost, "no such file or directory"
[08:09] <paradizelost> back to the little howto.:     you then type mount -o remount,rw /
[08:09] <ubuntu> nice 2 days now
[08:09] <paradizelost> Taru: that's your problem
[08:09] <Taru> paradizelost, =(
[08:09] <paradizelost> Taru: what do you want your hostname to be?
[08:09] <mustard5> Taru, easily fixed ;)
[08:09] <Taru> paradizelost, momo
[08:09] <paradizelost> Taru: type in     echo momo > /etc/hostname
[08:09] <Taru> mustard5, hopefully lol, im a ubuntu newbie user
[08:09] <paradizelost> then add momo to the end of the line in /etc/hosts
[08:09] <paradizelost> Taru: is this a fresh install?
[08:09] <eumario> It's alright, alot of us either are, or use to be one Taru.
[08:10] <Taru> paradizelost, /etc/hosts/momo?
[08:10] <ubuntu> mustad5: sometimes i think of widows  only at night in dreams
[08:10] <Taru> eumario, ^^
[08:10] <paradizelost> Taru: cuz that sounds like either the install got hosed, or you forgot to enter a hostname when you set up the machine....
[08:10] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:10] <mustard5> ubuntu, you are dreaming of window? :)
[08:10] <paradizelost> Taru: do you use gnome?
[08:10] <Taru> paradizelost, yeah install got screwed, so i wanna burn this program again by installing kd3
[08:10] <paradizelost> Taru: ahhh.  k
[08:10] <Taru> paradizelost, Gnome terminal?
[08:11] <paradizelost> Taru: no, the window manager
[08:11] <Hexidigital> what is the apt-get command to purge an installation? (i must be rusty, if i mess up two installs in one day)
[08:11] <ic56> Taru: now that you've created /etc/hostname , does the hostname command give different output?  I would expect it to remain unchanged until you reboot.
[08:11] <ubuntu> mustard5 i am dreaming of the day when I can get out this live cd
[08:11] <Taru> paradizelost, not familiar with that, possibly.
[08:11] <endless_us> Hi guys, Need help for setting up Nexus-s DVB card. Thank you.
[08:11] <paradizelost> because if hostname and /etc/hosts aren't right, it will complain on login
[08:11] <paradizelost> Taru: it's the default when you log in to the computer running ubuntu unless your using xubuntu or kubuntu
[08:12] <mustard5> paradizelost, I believe the host name gets blanked sometimes in the network manager when people are configuring things..and this often leads to this situation
[08:12] <paradizelost> mustard5: k.  i guess i haven't seen that happen, but i'd agree it's a possibility, that needs to get fixed....
[08:12] <ubuntu> you see the thing is if you get into a tight corner here thats everybody clams up
[08:12] <Taru> paradizelost, when i do "echo momo > /etc/hostname", it says "no such file or directory"
[08:12] <Schalken> paradizelost, what stability problems were you experiencing while running 64bit ubuntu?
[08:13] <mustard5> Taru, not the spaces in the command around the '>' character
[08:13] <paradizelost> Taru: make sure you have spaces
[08:13] <mustard5> *note
[08:13] <ubuntu> all you have to do is say kernel panic and thats its death
[08:13] <Taru> mustard5, hmm
[08:13] <paradizelost> Schalken: general lockups, it would lock when shutting down, using crossoveroffice to install stuff would lock, etc...
[08:13] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:13] <Schalken> paradizelost, hmmm
[08:13] <paradizelost> ubuntu: sounds like a bad kernel image to me....
[08:14] <paradizelost> Schalken: i gave up on it, i'm gonna be reformatting and running the k7 kernel image
[08:14] <paradizelost> Schalken: i'm also running dapper
[08:14] <Taru> paradizelost, i do have spaces, still not working
[08:14] <ubuntu> tried reinstall of  kernel image yesterday  did not work
[08:14] <paradizelost> Schalken: breezy wouldn't even install on my hardware
[08:14] <Taru> paradizelost, i did "echo momo > /etc/hostname"
[08:14] <paradizelost> Taru: do you have shell access from the outside world, i can fix it in about 3 min.
[08:14] <ubuntu> do not know how to use initrd tools
[08:14] <paradizelost> :D
[08:14] <mustard5> Taru, and it worked?
[08:15] <Schalken> paradizelost, im running dapper to, right now i cant get anything that uses opengl (screensavers, games) to work
[08:15] <Taru> mustard5, nope
[08:15] <paradizelost> Schalken: what kind of card?
[08:15] <eumario> Anyone worked with SSHD and RSA Authentication
[08:15] <paradizelost> graphics
[08:15] <eumario> ?
[08:15] <Taru> paradizelost, dunno
[08:15] <mustard5> Taru, you could just open a command line text editor and do this :)
[08:15] <Schalken> paradizelost, its integrated
[08:15] <ic56> Taru, paradizelost: the spaces aren't needed around ">".  Sounds more like Taru might have literally entered the double quotes.
[08:15] <paradizelost> Schalken: intel?
[08:15] <Schalken> paradizelost, (on board)
[08:15] <ubuntu> the thing is i took the day off work to fix it
[08:15] <Taru> ic56, i didnt add any quotes
[08:15] <Schalken> paradizelost, i think, ill check
[08:15] <Taru> mustard5, hmm ok
[08:15] <mustard5> Taru, try nano /etc/hostname
[08:16] <paradizelost> Schalken: cuz intel disables opengl on their cards.
[08:16] <paradizelost> for the most part
[08:16] <ubuntu> mustard5: have you no X
[08:16] <Taru> mustard5, done
[08:16] <mustard5> Taru, put your hostname in the file and then save it
[08:16] <Taru> mustard5, ok
[08:16] <mustard5> Taru, ctrl + o to save
[08:16] <paradizelost> ubuntu: here's a howto that kinda shows how to use the initrd tools
[08:16] <Taru> mustard5, what is the layout for it?
[08:16] <paradizelost> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811

[08:17] <Taru> mustard5, ok
[08:17] <Schalken> paradizelost, its a SiS chipset, if that helps

[08:17] <Taru> paradizelost, "error, writing to /etc/hostname: file or directory does not exit"

[08:18] <ubuntu> thanks i will take a look
[08:18] <khaled> Pyru, get amsn using apt-get
[08:18] <mustard5> Taru, doh
[08:18] <paradizelost> Taru: type in te following
[08:18] <Pyru> i used a script to install it, followed a tutorial khaled
[08:18] <paradizelost> touch /etc/hostname
[08:18] <Taru> ok
[08:18] <Taru> in nano?
[08:18] <Schalken> paradizelost, hmm it worked in SUSE 10.1, maybe SUSE happened to use a supported version while ubuntu doesnt?
[08:18] <paradizelost> Taru: no,
[08:18] <Taru> wait let me get out of nano
[08:18] <mustard5> Taru no
[08:18] <khaled> Pyru, i had problem downloading the TLS using amsn
[08:18] <paradizelost> Schalken: probably
[08:18] <Pyru> khaled,  this tutorial http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75276
[08:18] <khaled> Pyru, so i got it installed using apt-get.. it works fine now
[08:19] <ic56> Taru,paradizelost: sounds like /etc/ doesn't exist.    I recommend you install from scratch rather than trying to fix it bit by bit.
[08:19] <Taru> "cannot touch /etc/hostname"
[08:19] <ubuntu> sure you got the correct url re initrd tools?
[08:19] <paradizelost> ic56: he's trying to get to a spot he can burn an ISO to do the reinstall
[08:19] <Taru> ic56, yeah, but i need the burning program installed, i got nothing in linux that i am aware of for burning this image file
[08:20] <Schalken> paradizelost, thats not very good news. is there some sort of way i can get my SiS card to support the version? a new driver parhaps?
[08:20] <paradizelost> Taru: do you have cdrecord? it would be in the terminal
[08:20] <paradizelost> Schalken: if you do some looking
[08:20] <Taru> paradizelost, how do i open terminal if it doesnt launch?
[08:20] <eumario> Taru: Type which cdrecord
[08:20] <paradizelost> Schalken: do an lspci and look up the model number of the card
[08:20] <paradizelost> Taru: in order to be doing what we've been doing so far, you're in a terminal
[08:20] <ubuntu> 400 posts for a release thats going to happen in nine days time wow
[08:20] <Pyru> khaled, do you know how i can change the icon for amsn
[08:20] <ic56> Taru: I see.  Nevertheless, if you don't have /etc , there are hundreds of things you'll need to fix before you can start burning CDs.
[08:20] <Taru> paradizelost, i press ctrl+alt+f1
[08:21] <paradizelost> Taru: then your at a terminal
[08:21] <Taru> ic56, yeah im pretty screwed since i have no way to burn on my computer, and no other burners
[08:21] <paradizelost> type cdrecord, does it do anything
[08:21] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:21] <khaled> Pyru, nope.. did not try
[08:21] <paradizelost> Taru: are all the computers desktops?
[08:21] <Pyru> khaled, do you use amsn? or have u used it b4
[08:22] <ubuntu> paradizelost: i feel unwell just looking at the url 400 posts for ubs dapper thats going to released in nine days time
[08:22] <Taru> paradizelost, yes.
[08:22] <paradizelost> Taru: then just move your cd burner to a functional computer
[08:22] <paradizelost> you can move it back when done
[08:22] <Taru> paradizelost, i type cdrecord it gives me options, but i need to pull the ubuntu image file from shared docs.
[08:22] <Schalken> i just saw those chinese characters. boy, the wonders of unicode
[08:23] <ubuntu> no mention of intrd tools
[08:23] <Taru> paradizelost, possible ot format CD-RW in terminal?
[08:23] <paradizelost> Taru: just move the cd burner to a functional computer, download the cd image to that machine, then burn it, then move the burner back
[08:23] <paradizelost> Taru: because burning may not work at all w/ how hosed that system is
[08:23] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: vmware is running beautifully, btw... thanks again
[08:24] <Pyru> anyone help me out with amsn, it freezes and stops responding at random.
[08:24] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: np.  i should write a howto on the wiki
[08:24] <paradizelost> !vmware
[08:24] <ubotu> Please check this out, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare adjusting kernel versions to your own, to get the number replace the numbers with " `uname -r" The ` is a Backtic
[08:24] <ic56> Taru: your setup is blowing my mind.  Run this for me: "ls -ld /etc".  What does it say?
[08:24] <paradizelost> nm.  already done
[08:24] <Taru> paradizelost, good idea, i thought of it, but hmm
[08:24] <bur[n] er> Taru: by chance do you have a burner and a reader in that pc?  you could boot a livecd to the reader and burn
[08:24] <siccness> Pyru: Checked error logs?
[08:24] <paradizelost> Taru: it's gonna be easier to do that than try to get what you have working
[08:24] <Taru> bur[n] er, reader? i just have the burning dvd/cd drive
[08:24] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: yeah, but you explain so people can actually understand:)
[08:24] <Taru> paradizelost, true
[08:24] <Pyru> siccness, Im new to linux this is my second day
[08:25] <Taru> ic56, one sec
[08:25] <Pyru> no clue on how to do so.
[08:25] <siccness> Ah ok
[08:25] <ubuntu> whats the sawpoff command there -hv -a and -v?
[08:25] <Pyru> siccness, you could guide me , would be much appreciated hehe
[08:25] <bur[n] er> Pyru: it's msn... their servers have been goin nutz the past day
[08:25] <bur[n] er> Pyru: it's been affecting me with gaim too
[08:25] <siccness> Heh, now I'm trying to work out the command..hmm
[08:25] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: and that wiki is for workstatino
[08:25] <Hexidigital> how about you make !vmserver
[08:25] <Hexidigital> :)
[08:25] <Pyru> bur[n] er, my gaim has worked fine for the passed 2 days, but amsn just stops responding and i cant seem to find th eprocess to kill as well
[08:26] <paradizelost> !vmserver
[08:26] <ubotu> paradizelost: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:26] <bur[n] er> Pyru: i'll find the process to kill for ya... one sec :)
[08:26] <siccness> ps, kill -9 [PID]
[08:26] <Pyru> bur[n] er, thanks
[08:26] <ubuntu> i know about vmserver beta ask
[08:26] <Pyru> bur[n] er, i tried a killall gnome-panel didn't work to kill it but killed all my other apps
[08:27] <ubuntu> i have a script that will make bb 5-10 server ready to install
[08:27] <siccness> Heh
[08:27] <bur[n] er> Pyru: it's definately not gnome-panel ;)
[08:27] <Pyru> as I said im new hehe sorry
[08:27] <bur[n] er> Pyru: did you try a "ps ax |grep msn" in a term?
[08:27] <Taru> ic56, drwxr-xr-x 104 root root 4096 May 24 07:04 /etc (in blue letters)
[08:27] <kuja> Pyru: Mike?
[08:27] <kuja> Oh, nevermind.
[08:27] <neal_> how do u restart samba in ubuntu
[08:27] <kuja> Taru: Mike?
[08:27] <Taru> ic56, /etc in blue letter
[08:27] <Pyru> kuja, nope
[08:27] <Taru> kuja, yes?
[08:27] <kuja> Pyru: Sorry
[08:27] <Pyru> bur[n] er, I just typed that.
[08:27] <bur[n] er> i dont' have amsn installed, and i'm too lazy to install it... can anyone else tell Pyru and i the binary name?
[08:28] <kuja> Taru: Did you reburn yet?
[08:28] <bur[n] er> Pyru: any results?
[08:28] <ic56> Taru: that means /etc exists and my interpretation of your setup is wrong.
[08:28] <endless_us> any one here who can help me with nexus-s setup? PLEASE\
[08:28] <ic56> Taru: I see no reason why you should be unable to create /etc/hostname
[08:28] <Pyru> bur[n] er, check pm.
[08:28] <Taru> ic56, o.O
[08:28] <Taru> kuja, not yet
[08:29] <neal_> Does anyone know how to restart samba?
[08:29] <paradizelost> neal_: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[08:29] <ic56> Taru: type this for me: "mount |grep ' / '" (the spaces around the slash are important).  There should be one line of output.  What does it say?
[08:30] <kuja> ic56: He had problems yesterday with his host* files being broken symlinks.
[08:30] <Taru> ic56, ok
[08:30] <kuja> ic56: The culprit being `lessdisks'
[08:30] <Taru> single quotes around the slash?
[08:30] <kuja> Taru: Yeah
[08:30] <kuja> mount | grep ' / '
[08:30] <Taru> kuja, ok
[08:30] <ic56> kuja: I see.  Thanks for the background.
[08:30] <kuja> np
[08:31] <paradizelost> ubotu tell Hexidigital about vmserver
[08:31] <ubuntu> paradizelost take a peak at this please http://pastebin.ca/58581
[08:32] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: good man!
[08:32] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k and what am i looking at?
[08:32] <ubuntu> how to trun off swap
[08:32] <neal_> Paradizelost how do u add a user to samba
[08:32] <paradizelost> ubuntu: ok,  in a terminal,   sudo swapoff /dev/hda2 && sudo swapoff /dev/hda5
[08:33] <siccness> Pyru: in terminal, type: locate amsn
[08:33] <paradizelost> neal_: i do mine w/ no authentication
[08:33] <paradizelost> i'm in a trusted LAN
[08:33] <neal_> how do u do that
[08:33] <paradizelost> w/ only me and a select few others
[08:33] <paradizelost> change security to share instead of user
[08:33] <Taru> ic56, "rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
[08:33] <paradizelost> there's a spot that says            security = share
[08:33] <paradizelost> ubuntu: why do you have 2 swap partitions on the same drive?
[08:34] <ubuntu> good question there are two distros ubuntu and srage?
[08:34] <ic56> Taru: ok.  Are you booted from an install CD?
[08:34] <paradizelost> ubuntu: the swap space can be shared
[08:34] <paradizelost> *shared
[08:35] <Taru> ic56, I am running w/o cd atm.
[08:35] <ubuntu> what do you suggest ?
[08:35] <neal_> paradizelost how do i do that
[08:35] <ic56> Taru: so my mount |grep command gave you 2 lines of output, right?
[08:35] <Taru> ic56, my original install cd is corrupt, i meant to reburn it on a new cd, on this comp, but i may have ot move burner to another computer like paradizelost mentioned.
[08:35] <Taru> ic56, yes
[08:35] <paradizelost> neal_: it's in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file
[08:36] <paradizelost> neal_: or are you using the POS swat???
[08:36] <paradizelost> ;)
[08:36] <ubuntu> the thing i cannot access my ubuntu server on hda1 its on fluxbox wirh vmware o dear my poor data well i will keep on trying that nasty sarge install upset my disk
[08:37] <paradizelost> ubuntu: are you saying you used vmware, gave it physical access to the hard drive, and did another linux install?
[08:37] <paradizelost> please say no.....
[08:37] <ic56> Taru: you've done something wierd with the way you booted.  You have two filesystems overlapping each other.  I know Linux can handle this under special circumstances but I don't know if you've done it right.
[08:37] <Taru> ic56, cdrecord version does not support CD-RW/DVD-R.
[08:38] <zukero> how can I list all my IDE drives in ubuntu, to make sure a new is well detected ?
[08:38] <Taru> ic56, yeah screwed up somewhere, i encountered some errors while installing it and skipping some.
[08:38] <paradizelost> zukero: most of the time open a terminal and do a #dmesg|grep hd
[08:38] <paradizelost> zukero: or you can install gparted and use it to pull up a list of drives
[08:38] <zukero> paradizelost : even if not a hd (DVD Burner)
[08:38] <ic56> Taru: is this a new install?  How did you install if you don't have a readable CD?
[08:39] <paradizelost> zukero: a dvd burner would show up as hd##
[08:39] <paradizelost> something
[08:39] <zukero> k
[08:39] <Taru> ic56, this was installed a few days ago, and it probably was a corrupted cd.
[08:39] <Taru> ic56, i wish to re-install it on a new cd and hope there is no problems.
[08:39] <zukero> paradizelost : great, found it :)
[08:39] <zukero> thx
[08:40] <Taru> ic56, i just found a random cd that happened to be blank, and i guess it wasnt in good condition ; ;
[08:40] <paradizelost> Taru: just make sure you use the same burner that you use in both comps.  i have a burner that's going out, it works fine w/ its own cd's, but if i  burn an install cd w/ it, and try to use it in another machine, it doesn't work
[08:40] <Schalken> paradizelost, this is what the SiS site has to say: "Linux Kernel 2.4.20 (Redhat 9.0) has default driver for SiS741" (my card)
[08:40] <Taru> paradizelost, ok
[08:40] <paradizelost> Schalken: they mean the low end, no accelleration driver.
[08:40] <ic56> Taru: do you have the option of installing something else that will let you burn CDs?  That might save you a lot of grief.
[08:40] <Taru> paradizelost, i probably will just move the burner now.
[08:40] <ubuntu> what i am saying is that vmware is on bb server hda1, i did a sarge install on a small bit of my disk just to see if a howto would work some project i am going to try and but the grub back on hda1 so my server bb will maybe boot without error or good ness must phone work to get another days hoilday well thats linux
[08:40] <paradizelost> Taru: would probably be the fastest
[08:41] <Taru> ic56, a windows CD that has a burning program, but not sure if its linux friendly,
[08:41] <Taru> paradizelost, :D
[08:41] <paradizelost> ubuntu: what's your fstab for your ubuntu install?
[08:41] <paradizelost> is /dev/hda1 your /boot on ubuntu?
[08:42] <ubuntu> just a sec i pastbined it yesterday
[08:42] <distanceisdeath> hello?
[08:42] <Schalken> paradizelost, oh, well thats no good
[08:42] <ic56> Taru: So long as you choose to burn an "ISO image", windows will work fine.  But try paradizelost's suggestion to read using the same CD drive that burned the CD.
[08:42] <ubuntu> no  but i wold like it to be it was before
[08:43] <distanceisdeath> Is it possible to install linux on the same hd?
[08:43] <Schalken> paradizelost, does Ubuntu use Xfree86 or X Server?
[08:43] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: same hd as waht?
[08:43] <distanceisdeath> hard drive
[08:43] <paradizelost> Schalken: uses xorg now
[08:43] <Taru> ic56, windows is gone from this computer, i will just move my burner to another computer and try from there.
[08:43] <paradizelost> XFree86 is essentially dead...
[08:43] <Schalken> humph
[08:43] <paradizelost> xorg is the fork, the BETTER version
[08:43] <Taru> Be back later, see ya, and thanks for all your help guys. ^^
[08:43] <ic56> Taru: out of curiosity, try this for me (it may crash your computer): sudo umount /
[08:43] <ic56>  sudo mount /dev/hda1 /
[08:44] <tillicollaps3> can someone help me toremove a wrong installation of wine...i can't find the files
[08:44] <distanceisdeath> is it possible to have linux and xp on the same hard drive? and dual boot?
[08:44] <paradizelost> well, Hexidigital, tomorrow, i'm gonna get started on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWareserver
[08:44] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: yes
[08:44] <distanceisdeath> how would i go about doing this?
[08:44] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: you just need to have some free space on the drive
[08:44] <kuja> ic56: Err, forgot to tell him to burn it at 2x.
[08:44] <paradizelost> and then you run the installer
[08:44] <kuja> ic56: Last time he burned it at 4x.
[08:44] <distanceisdeath> i have plenty of space
[08:45] <distanceisdeath> where is the installer?
[08:45] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: UNPARTITIONED space?
[08:45] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: THE CD
[08:45] <paradizelost> :D
[08:45] <distanceisdeath> i just sent a request for the cd
[08:45] <gnuyen> Hi guys, is the new nvidia driver going to make it into Dapper?
[08:45] <Hmmmm> guys, is ubuntu stable release for 1st june confirmed?
[08:45] <distanceisdeath> is there a way without the cd?
[08:45] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: then you could download the cd?
[08:45] <ic56> kuja: is that an issue w/ linux CD-R/RW drivers or with the hardware?
[08:45] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: not that i know of
[08:45] <distanceisdeath> do i have to burn it?
[08:46] <bur[n] er> gnuyen: i think it already did... and the kernel driver didn't get updated yet... though I'm not positive
[08:46] <kuja> ic56: Well, it's generally safer to burn at a lower speed.
[08:46] <paradizelost> gnuyen: don't know for sure, but i just use easyubuntu to install it
[08:46] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: yes
[08:46] <distanceisdeath> dvd? or cd rom?
[08:46] <tillicollaps3> can someone help me toremove a wrong installation of wine...i can't find the files
[08:46] <kuja> ic56: I think it's an issue with the hardware, but I'm not sure. I've heard it a lot.
[08:46] <paradizelost> CD
[08:46] <distanceisdeath> okay
[08:46] <gnuyen> where can someone look to see progress or notes on a particular pacage
[08:46] <distanceisdeath> and i just place the files on the cd?
[08:46] <distanceisdeath> or on different cds?
[08:46] <ic56> kuja: thx
[08:47] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: you download the ISO file, and burn the image to a CD
[08:47] <distanceisdeath> one iso file per disc?
[08:47] <paradizelost> w/ nero or whatever burning software you use
[08:47] <paradizelost> distanceisdeath: there will be 1 iso total to do the install
[08:47] <paradizelost> !install

[08:47] <distanceisdeath> oh
[08:47] <distanceisdeath> my bad
[08:47] <neal_> In windows when i try to access the computer with samba it ask for username and password how do i get rid of that>
[08:47] <paradizelost> neal_: i'll pastebin my samba config file
[08:47] <paradizelost> !paste
[08:47] <ubotu> see <!pastebin> please
[08:47] <gnuyen> idon't want to install the nvidia drivers unless they're not going to make it into dapper
[08:47] <paradizelost> !pastebin
[08:47] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package]
[08:48] <gnuyen> even though they fixed a rather severe bug
[08:48] <ic56> tillicollaps3: try apt-get remove <package name>
[08:48] <paradizelost> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d14583
[08:49] <paradizelost> neal_: there you go ^
[08:49] <paradizelost> you can use that, and just make the appropriate changes
[08:49] <tillicollaps3> i've tried but it says that wine it's not installed
[08:49] <ic56> gnuyen: try /join #ubuntu+1
[08:49] <tillicollaps3> the installation was from sources
[08:49] <paradizelost> tillicollaps3: how did you install wine?  w/ apt-get ?
[08:49] <paradizelost> !dapper
[08:49] <ubotu> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install,  or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than
[08:50] <tillicollaps3> no from sources
[08:50] <paradizelost> tillicollaps3: .deb sources or from tar sources?
[08:50] <tillicollaps3> tar
[08:50] <ubuntu> paradizelost; here is fstab  http://pastebin.ca/58582
[08:50] <paradizelost> tillicollaps3: from the wine site?
[08:51] <paradizelost> ubuntu:  k.  use cfdisk and make /dev/hda1 bootable again
[08:51] <tillicollaps3> no, i just took it from a cd of linux-magazine
[08:51] <paradizelost> tillicollaps3: look in the stuff you got from their site and check the readme for removal instructions
[08:51] <paradizelost> what distro you using?
[08:51] <ubuntu> paradizelost not use cfdisk befor might need some help
[08:52] <tillicollaps3> ub dapper
[08:52] <ic56> tillicollaps3: do this: "tar tf <tar file> |xargs rm".  It gets the list of files from the tar files and removes each one from the disk.
[08:52] <neal_> thanks
[08:52] <paradizelost> tillicollaps3: try #ubuntu+1 or #wine
[08:52] <neal_> how do u edit a file
[08:52] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k
[08:53] <Schalken> paradizelost, Ubuntu using Xorg must be the problem then, because according to the SiS site there are no Xorg gfx accelleration drivers for my card. does that mean im screwed?
[08:53] <paradizelost> Schalken: for the time probably
[08:53] <sola6662> yo all i have a prob
[08:53] <ic56> tillicollaps3: run it without the  "|xargs rm" to see what it's gonna remove.
[08:53] <Schalken> lol
[08:53] <paradizelost> !ask

[08:53] <ubuntu>  here is a good url for vmware on bb 5-10 server with fluxbox its two fantastic scripts anybody need it
[08:54] <paradizelost> ubuntu: getting vmware server running on breezy using blackbox for the gui should be no different than getting it running otherwise
[08:54] <tillicollaps3> ok now i'm trying
[08:54] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k. open a terminal
[08:54] <Schalken> paradizelost, if openGL doesnt work, should I ever expect to get video playback working either?
[08:54] <paradizelost> Schalken: video's should work
[08:54] <ubuntu> ok have cfdisk in my view
[08:55] <paradizelost> Schalken: don't need opengl for playback, it certainly helps though
[08:55] <sola6662> i was useing the howto to get into my NTFS format HDD i used for storeing files i tired to get into it in windows XP to do some school work and it didit want to work how can i unmount hdb1?
[08:55] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k, you did a sudo cfdisk /dev/hda correct?
[08:55] <tillicollaps3> i have to give the command from the extracted sources?
[08:55] <paradizelost> sola6662: sudo umount /dev/hdb1
[08:55] <ubuntu> i am in root then cfdisk hda1 is mounted
[08:55] <sola6662> life saver
[08:55] <ic56> tillicollaps3: come again?
[08:55] <ubuntu> at /mnt
[08:55] <Schalken> paradizelost, damn. i need one of those awesome nVidia cards that have good Linux driver support
[08:55] <paradizelost> ubuntu: mounted shouldn't be an issue
[08:56] <ubuntu> ok
[08:56] <paradizelost> Schalken: i have a mix of nvidia and ati, i do like the nvidia better
[08:56] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k.  select hda1
[08:56] <tillicollaps3> what?
[08:56] <paradizelost> should already be selected
[08:56] <ic56> tillicollaps3: I did not understand your question.
[08:56] <ubuntu> yes it is
[08:56] <paradizelost> ubuntu: and is bootable selected at the  bottom?
[08:56] <ubuntu> yes
[08:57] <paradizelost> ubuntu: k press enter
[08:57] <ubuntu> ok
[08:57] <paradizelost> ubuntu: just to confirm, /dev/hda1 is your ubuntu install that you want to boot, correct?
[08:57] <paradizelost> before we write the changes
[08:57] <ubuntu> correct
[08:58] <Schalken> does anyone have any reccommendations on a low-end graphics card with good support for Linux (and Xorg)?
[08:58] <paradizelost> ubuntu:  k.  now use the L & R arrow keys and select write
[08:58] <paradizelost> Schalken: an nvidia geforce mx4000 should suffice....
[08:58] <paradizelost> ubuntu: then quit
[08:58] <Schalken> paradizelost, thnx. ill look it up
[08:58] <paradizelost> ubuntu: then you reboot
[08:59] <salman> Intel 815, 855, 915
[08:59] <paradizelost> Schalken: it will work, but not the best
[08:59] <salman> Schalken: Intel 815, 855, 915
[08:59] <sflash> how can i run a .deb file?
[08:59] <paradizelost> Schalken: i'd go higher end personally, but $$$ gets up there
[08:59] <sflash> or can
[08:59] <paradizelost> sflash: dpkg -i filename.deb
[08:59] <paradizelost> will install it
[08:59] <sflash> cool
[08:59] <ubuntu> write is hightlighted
[08:59] <paradizelost> salman: who is that directed to?
[09:00] <paradizelost> ubuntu: press enter
[09:00] <paradizelost> ubuntu: then highlight quit and press enter again
[09:00] <paradizelost> ubuntu: then reboot to see that it worked
[09:00] <ubuntu> are you sure you wnt to write partition table o disk
[09:00] <Schalken> paradizelost, considering there aren't many games for linux, i dontwant to spend anymore money than i need to to get a screensaver going
[09:00] <paradizelost> ubuntu: yes
[09:01] <Schalken> paradizelost, and maybe play some bzflag
[09:01] <paradizelost> Schalken: there are getting to be more.  Unreal Tournament and Quake 4 for example
[09:01] <paradizelost> Schalken: plus you have Xgl to look forward to
[09:01] <Schalken> paradizelost, whats xgl?
[09:01] <paradizelost> !xgl
[09:01] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[09:01] <paradizelost> look at the pretty videos
[09:01] <ubuntu> ok more than one primary partition is marked as bootable DOS MBR cannot boot this
[09:01] <neal_> How do u edit a file
[09:02] <Schalken> neal_, you, like, click on it
[09:02] <paradizelost> neal_: gvim, vim, nano, pico, gedit, emacs, to name a few
[09:02] <MorbidHunger> hey how do i change the master volume?
[09:02] <neal_> whenever i click on them their read only
[09:02] <ubuntu> paraizelost: see my post just now
[09:02] <paradizelost> ubuntu: unmakr /dev/hda3 from bootable
[09:02] <paradizelost> *unmark
[09:02] <ubuntu> how please
[09:02] <sola6662> i did and it came up it wasnt mounted
[09:02] <bur[n] er> neal_: you might need to be sudo
[09:03] <paradizelost> ubuntu: select it in the window using the up/down arow keys, and unmark it the exact same way we marked /dev/hda1
[09:03] <sola6662> if this is true all i need todo is boot in windows and try to get in
[09:03] <Hexidigital> vmware installation successful.... hopefully laptop Dapper install goes just as well
[09:03] <Schalken> neal_, probably a permissions problem then. try going into the files properties and check the 'edit' boxes under 'permissions'
[09:03] <sflash> is there anyway to add .deb file to synaptic?
[09:03] <ubuntu> ok selected but bootable is highlighted below
[09:04] <Schalken> neal_, otherwise you might need to execute the editing program with sudo
[09:04] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: if i knew how to do a .deb, i'd make one for vmware server, but it's still beta so it changes all the friggin time
[09:04] <paradizelost> ubuntu: yess, press enter now, this will unmark the bootable flag
[09:04] <ubuntu> how to unmark
[09:05] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: yes.. i got it to do what i need... running a ms machine for my printer :)
[09:05] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: what printer?
[09:05] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: lexmark x75
[09:05] <paradizelost> to all newbies, something for you to try sometime, a command called screen
[09:05] <paradizelost> !screen
[09:05] <ubuntu> ok boot flag has dissaped
[09:05] <ubotu> I guess screen is a terminal multiplexer http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[09:05] <paradizelost> Hexidigital: you need a sledgehammer
[09:05] <paradizelost> ubuntu: now try writing
[09:05] <ubuntu> but in label section its stil has the / sign
[09:05] <paradizelost> ubuntu: make sure that /dev/hda1 is still flagged bootable
[09:05] <ubuntu> ok
[09:06] <paradizelost> ubuntu: don't worry about the label
[09:06] <camilo> night
[09:06] <ubuntu> yes hda 1 is flaged as botable
[09:06] <Hexidigital> paradizelost:: and i got a free dell 710, because i called and screamed at them for losing my laptop
[09:06] <Hexidigital> but it's a lexmark in disguise
[09:06] <tillicollaps3> ic56: it has removed nothing
[09:06] <paradizelost> dell 710 printer?
[09:06] <paradizelost> it's a lexmark
[09:06] <Hexidigital> yes
[09:06] <ubuntu> ok here is what it says
[09:07] <ubuntu> wrote partirion table , bur re-read table failed  reboot to update table
[09:07] <paradizelost> ubuntu don't worry about that
[09:07] <paradizelost> just quit and reboot
[09:08] <ubuntu> ok is hda1 ok now or?
[09:08] <camilo> someone knows how to properly configure a keyboard on an ibook ? thnx
[09:08] <paradizelost> ubuntu should be
[09:08] <paradizelost> you have a livecd handy just in case?
[09:08] <ubuntu> it has boot flag but did we write it?
[09:08] <vook> I seek direction or guidance on making flash work in firefox on amd64.  I've tried many times and failed.  Anyone have any links or resources that may help?
[09:09] <paradizelost> ubuntu: it says it wrote it, it just needs to reboot for it to completely take effect
[09:09] <Schalken> ubuntu is such a beautiful distro
[09:09] <sola6662> be back in a few days
[09:09] <paradizelost> vook: install the windows firefox in wine, then install the flash8 plugin
[09:09] <paradizelost> :D
[09:09] <ubuntu> remember it could not write it as hda3  was bootable at the time yes hda3 is not bootable now
[09:10] <paradizelost> ubuntu: basically, it's like back in DOS, you did an FDISK but had to reboot before the system saw the change
[09:10] <paradizelost> ubuntu: corret
[09:10] <paradizelost> correct
[09:10] <vook> paradizelost, there must be a better way.
[09:10] <paradizelost> do a cfdisk /dev/hda again and make sure it looks like you want
[09:10] <Schalken> paradizelost, is that REALLY only way to get flash working on AMD64?
[09:10] <ubuntu> yes that sounds correct
[09:10] <paradizelost> vook- it's the only way if you want flash 8 on linux
[09:10] <Schalken> paradizelost, how come SUSE can do it though?
[09:10] <paradizelost> Schalken: the only flash actually avaialable for linux is 7 or lower
[09:10] <vook> I don't think so, I know it can be done.
[09:11] <paradizelost> there is no flash8 for linux.
[09:11] <paradizelost> look all you want
[09:11] <paradizelost> you can get flash 7
[09:11] <paradizelost> i'm not just talking amd64 either
[09:11] <ubuntu> so lets asume that hda1 is now bootable
[09:11] <Schalken> paradizelost, well can flash 7 be used on AMD64?
[09:11] <paradizelost> ubuntu: then reboot
[09:11] <paradizelost> Schalken: never tried it....
[09:11] <vook> paradizelost, i understand that, but there must be a way to get it going in firefox on amd64 without wine.
[09:11] <paradizelost> :D
[09:11] <Schalken> hmmm
[09:12] <ubuntu> ok i hope it works should i delete sare plus swap make no diffrence i guess
[09:12] <paradizelost> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=112418
[09:12] <ubuntu> sarge
[09:12] <vook> I've heard of success from the gentoo camp, but who knows what kind of trivial process they'd put me through.
[09:12] <paradizelost> ubuntu: not for the moment, don't change more at 1 time than you have to.  makes troubleshooting easier
[09:12] <paradizelost> vook: see above link
[09:13] <paradizelost> !flash
[09:13] <ubotu> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:13] <ubuntu> o must  umount hda1 first
[09:13] <Schalken> how good are the free alternatives to flash i hear about?
[09:13] <paradizelost> ubuntu - the reboot process does that for you
[09:13] <paradizelost> Schalken: never used them
[09:13] <neal_> paradizelost i can't access anything
[09:13] <ubuntu> ok see you later with the results
[09:13] <twager> Can anyone tell me if I can alter the file availability colours in ktorrent ?
[09:13] <paradizelost> neal_: did you put that file in place, make the appropriate changes to make it point to your locations and then restart samba?
[09:14] <neal_> yes
[09:14] <vook> paradizelost, bless you.  I'm on it.
[09:14] <paradizelost> !samba
[09:14] <ubotu> samba is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[09:15] <twager> neal_ yes to colours ?
[09:15] <paradizelost> twager: yes to my question
[09:15] <twager> sorry..
[09:16] <paradizelost> man, i'm gonna have to head to bed soon.  i have to be to work in less than 6 hours
[09:16] <varsendagger> hey is ther a gui to creat .zip files?
[09:16] <joe__> How do I get firefox to use the mplayer plugin instead of totem to play video files in the browser?
[09:16] <paradizelost> varsendagger: archive manager probably can
[09:16] <paradizelost> joe__: install the mplayer-plugin
[09:16] <paradizelost> !mplayer
[09:16] <ubotu> rumour has it, mplayer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[09:16] <varsendagger> paradizelost, i don't think it does
[09:16] <paradizelost> !mplayer-plugin
[09:16] <ubotu> paradizelost: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:17] <paradizelost> varsendagger: is there a reason you want .zip and not .tar .tar.gz or .bz2?
[09:17] <tonyyarusso> Okay, I'm going to need to have aptitude upgrade run for a while, but cut it off before it's done, and just pause it where it is.  What's the safest way to do that?  shutdown, kill aptitude, kill wvdial, other?
[09:17] <Schalken> boy, i wish i didnt exceed my download limit by downloading linux distros so many times. now im on dialup speed! its killing me!
[09:17] <joe__> paradizelost: I've installed that, but firefox still tries to use the totem plugin
[09:18] <paradizelost> Schalken: i download 40-60GB of data/mo
[09:18] <paradizelost> joe__: try removing the totem plugin
[09:18] <Schalken> paradizelost, crap thats most of my (80gb) HD
[09:18] <paradizelost> joe__: my brain is too fried tonight to be of much more help...
[09:18] <tonyyarusso> Schalken: Well, I'm trying to do Dapper updates on dialup now, so I can almost relate.
[09:18] <paradizelost> Schalken: mostly tv shows - watch then delete, or linux ISO's, or all the damn dapper updates...
[09:19] <Schalken> tonyyarusso, omg thats what im doing aswel it says its going to take 9 hours
[09:19] <paradizelost> luckily my ISP doesn't put a limit on the bandwidth
[09:19] <paradizelost> i'm in the middle of nowhere...
[09:19] <tin_nqn> from a newbie: how can I know my IP inside my net?
[09:19] <varsendagger> paradizelost, yes i want my friend the windows user to access it
[09:20] <Schalken> paradizelost, and i thought 12GB was practically no limit. i thought wrong.
[09:20] <paradizelost> tin_nqn: open a terminal, type ifconfig eth0
[09:20] <tonyyarusso> Schalken: 13 here.  Problem is I can't still be connected in the morning in case someone else wants to get on, so I have to figure out how to stop it after a few hours.
[09:20] <Schalken> lol!
[09:20] <tin_nqn> thanks
[09:21] <paradizelost> tonyyarusso: you could write a script to start the program, track the pid, then have a cron job kill the pid at a specified time
[09:21] <paradizelost> but that would kill it not pause it
[09:22] <tonyyarusso> paradizelost: Well, aptitude seems to be smart enough to resume where it left of with package downloading.
[09:22] <paradizelost> tonyyarusso: then that might be the way to go
[09:22] <tonyyarusso> paradizelost: All right, we'll give it a shot.
[09:22] <paradizelost> it'll be a fun script though.....
[09:22] <Schalken> paradizelost: so, flash can be used on AMD64 by replacing 64bit firefox with a 32bit one?
[09:23] <paradizelost> Schalken: i would think so
[09:23] <paradizelost> you can run both types of binaries IIRC
[09:23] <Schalken> paradizelost, do you think that would work with w32codecs?
[09:23] <paradizelost> possibly
[09:23] <paradizelost> but the codecs will involve the player more than the browser
[09:23] <paradizelost> ubuntu: did it work for ya?
[09:24] <ubuntu> ok went to boot but hda3 is still showing as boot first not hda1
[09:24] <joe__> Schalken: There's a howto somewhere in the ubuntu forums about installing 32bit firefox with flash and java
[09:24] <Schalken> joe_: yeah paradizelost showed me it, thanks

[09:27] <Schalken> paradizelost: bye bye! thanks for all your help!
[09:27] <ubuntu> ok its showing hda 1 asboot
[09:27] <ubuntu> just write it?
[09:27] <paradizelost> ubuntu: and not hda3?
[09:27] <sflash> i dont understand
[09:27] <paradizelost> ubuntu: if so, yes, then quit, and see if it gives you the error
[09:27] <kaoticorder> Does anyone know what file to modify to change the modules loaded at startup?
[09:28] <paradizelost> sflash: that sounds like your /etc/apt/sources.list is messed up
[09:28] <ubuntu> no hda3 has no flag but has a / label
[09:28] <paradizelost> kaoticorder: /etc/modules
[09:28] <sflash> i tried to install a .deb file when this happened
[09:28] <paradizelost> ubuntu: thats fine, ubuntu doesn't mount by label,
[09:28] <paradizelost> sflash: was it an ubuntu deb?
[09:28] <kaoticorder> thanks!
[09:28] <sflash> it says that there is -1 installed packages now
[09:28] <paradizelost> sflash: that sounds like a bit of an ooops
[09:28] <sflash> im not sure, i got it off of
[09:28] <paradizelost> what package?
[09:28] <sflash> http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/torrentflux
[09:28] <ubuntu> ok i write hda1?
[09:29] <paradizelost> ubuntu: yes
[09:29] <sflash> torrentflux
[09:29] <paradizelost> sflash: ok, that's a debian deb, not necessarily an ubuntu-compatible deb...
[09:29] <sflash> now am i screwed ;)
[09:29] <Obst> hi
[09:29] <sflash> will my computer detonate
[09:30] <paradizelost> sflash: and i'll be of no use even w/ a fresh mind on that one...
[09:30] <ic56> !justask
[09:30] <ubotu> - Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[09:30] <ubuntu> ok same as before wrote partirtion table but re-read table failed  reboot to update table --what about update-grub command
[09:30] <paradizelost> ic56: who was that directed to
[09:30] <sflash> how would i get my packages back in synaptic?
[09:30] <paradizelost> ubuntu: update-grub has nothing to do w/ the partitino table
[09:30] <ic56> paradizelost: Obst seemed to need encouragement.
[09:30] <ubuntu> ok
[09:31] <paradizelost> ic56: ahh.  was gonna say, he just said hi.
[09:31] <Obst> kubuntu dont want to login as root to kde, i have activated the root accound but no effect
[09:31] <paradizelost> :P
[09:31] <Obst> shell login work
[09:31] <ubuntu> so what about what i just posted
[09:31] <paradizelost> Obst: you need to edit /etc/X11/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and enable root logins
[09:31] <ic56> Obst: tell us more.
[09:31] <paradizelost> Obst: but i HIGHLY don't recommend doing it that way, and just use gksudo
[09:31] <sflash> can i reinstall synaptic you think?
[09:32] <ubuntu> paradizelost: : ok so it reboots its not updateing the tablemaybe
