[21:01] <vonSmallhausen> Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[21:01] <nickrud> adub haven't tried it myself, but I hear that ebox has some config stuff for apache
[21:01] <oldcpu> woli, and i do get some quirks confused
[21:02] <Rat409> weeman13221: run nvidia-settings as root or via sudo
[21:02] <woli> oldcpu, well, in what distro did you run tsalsa?
[21:02] <weeman13221> Rat409: i edit the command on how to run it with sudo then it wont run
[21:02] <oldcpu> woli, I'm currently beta testing 11.0 in another distro ... and I ran it on that beta version
[21:02] <xenos> anyone know if there's a way to sync blackberry devices (kde4) ?
[21:03] <woli> oh
[21:03] <thingfish> weeman13221: also you might try /usr/share/applications/Screens and Graphics
[21:03] <Rat409> weeman13221: run it from gnome-terminal
[21:03] <icewolf> HELLO everyone, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with the nvidia-GLX drivers and it runs fine with the 3d desktop etc, and wine does as well, but full screen it goes out of range, I am running on an LCD
[21:03] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> How come Ubuntu is so cool?
[21:03] <woli> how do i know what mixer I'm using?
[21:03] <icewolf> and when it goes above 60hz it goes black, I can hear the application but nothing. I've looked in xorg.conf etc but I need more direction here
[21:03] <icewolf> on how to force 60hz across the board for all things
[21:04] <oldcpu> woli, typically gnome uses alsamixer (I think) and kde kmix  (I'm a kde user)
[21:04] <afallenhope> Rat409: the nvidia-settings doesn't seem to work for me :-s

However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[21:05] <woli> yes but is there a command to get the current used mixer?
[21:05] <paolo> is there any diff within Ubuntu+kde and kubuntu?
[21:05] <Rat409> afallenhope: wors for me dunno then
[21:05] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> When does Ubuntu 9 come out???
[21:05] <Flannel> paolo: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome
[21:05] <Boohbah> in 2009
[21:05] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> !ubuntu
[21:05] <afallenhope> Rat409:  what version?
[21:05] <thingfish> afallenhope: try /usr/share/applications/Screens and Graphics - it worked for me, after trying about everything else I could think of.
[21:05] <Starnestommy> Ugly_Gaunt_Cow: ubuntu 8.10 is in october, 9.04, the first 2009 release, will be in April 2009
[21:05] <paolo> Flannel: right. But why not just install ubuntu and then install kde?
[21:05] <Flannel> Ugly_Gaunt_Cow: Release numbers are year.month
[21:05] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> Ah.
[21:05] <Rat409> afallenhope: hardy and gutsy,in hardy atm
[21:05] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> Awesome.
[21:06] <afallenhope> bash: /usr/share/applications/Screens: No such file or directory
[21:06] <oldcpu> woli, what does this give:   cat /proc/asound/cards
[21:06] <afallenhope> lmao
[21:06] <woli> i ran alsamixer and a lot of coloured bars appeared. Also, it says in one part of the console Card: Audigy 2 blah blah blah
[21:06] <Flannel> paolo: you could.  Of course, you'd have them both installed instead of just one.  But there's no reason you couldn't then remove the gnome portion
[21:06] <thingfish> afallenhope: it's not cli
[21:06] <thingfish> although I suppose you could start it like that
[21:06] <Ugly_Gaunt_Cow> I'm very happy with Ubuntu. It's allowed me to finally try my hand at Linux without feeling overwhelmed.
[21:06] <DefineKThyne> afallenhope: reboot seemed to work (:
[21:06] <Rat409> afallenhope: but you need to click apply and merge to make it permanent
[21:06] <woli> oldcpu, 0 [My card]
[21:07] <oldcpu> woli, what is [My card]
[21:07] <alastor666> soir' all
[21:07] <oldcpu> woli, I can't see your PC :) :)
[21:07] <Fegis> Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu server 8.04 on a motherboard running a nfp3600-raid controller but the installer recognizes it as 2 seperate disks... not sure what to do, can anyone help me?
[21:07] <homeuser> anybody running xfce in Ubuntu?
[21:07] <afallenhope> I don't see it anywhre
[21:07] <woli> [Audigy2 ]. Audigy2 2 ZS [SB0350]
[21:07] <woli> and some more lines
[21:07] <oldcpu> woli, what does this give:   cat /proc/asound/version
[21:07] <afallenhope> perhaps I have to update my drivers
[21:07] <afallenhope> lol
[21:07] <afallenhope> I just don't know where to get that
[21:07] <paolo> Flannel: ok.. thanks. I am planning to try ubuntu on a new machine. I wouldn't give up KDE, but I would prefer to avoid any fork (such as kubuntu)
[21:07] <thingfish> afallenhope: it won't show up in a terminal, it seems.  Navigate there using the gui.
[21:08] <Flannel> paolo: Kubuntu isn't a fork, it's just Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome
[21:08] <paolo> Flannel: why not ask to choose when installing ubuntu?
[21:08] <Flannel> paolo: Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, (Gobuntu, UbuntuStudio, Mythbuntu) are all different flavors of the same distro (which is Ubuntu)
[21:08] <Boohbah> Fegis: did you find out if linux supports your card, and if so, with which module?
[21:08] <woli> alsa version 1.0.16, compiled on apr 21 2008 for kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (SMP)
[21:08] <afallenhope> thingfish: there's no "screens and Graphic"
[21:08] <afallenhope> lol
[21:08] <Flannel> paolo: Because CDs aren't that big
[21:08] <icewolf> HorizSync       30.0 - 110.0 can I change the 110 to 60hz and it will lock to 60 max?
[21:08] <oldcpu> woli, ... any chance your sound problem is a permissions problem?
[21:08] <thingfish> afallenhope: that's weird.  This is hardy, right?
[21:08] <afallenhope> yeah
[21:09] <Fegis> Boohbah: It's supposed to support it but I have no idea of which module...
[21:09] <thingfish> huh
[21:09] <vonSmallhausen> Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux".

However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[21:09] <paolo> Flannel: I see.. I would install from network anyway
[21:09] <woli> oldcpu, in grub i can choose whether choose that kernel or the previous one
[21:09] <oldcpu> woli, perhaps add your user to what every audio group ubuntu uses ... possibly group audio
[21:09] <Boohbah> Fegis: look it up
[21:09] <oldcpu> woli, does sound not work in either ?
[21:09]  * xenos requests ppls opinion: Which is your fav. mp3 player?
[21:09] <thingfish> afallenhope: that's really weird - I've got pretty much the default install.
[21:09] <Fegis> Boohbah: just googling or are there any better tools to figure that out?
[21:09] <freddy_engels> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14618/
[21:09] <Lynet> paolo: In short, they all live in the same repository. The difference is in which default packages that you install.
[21:09] <woli> oldcpu, as i said. I set all my sound preferences to alsa. Sound works fine, but when I click on 'Test', i will get an error
[21:09] <etyrnal> is the a nice linux cli tool for issuing sell commands to several machine at once on a local network ?
[21:10] <Boohbah> xenos: software?
[21:10] <freddy_engels> can anyone help me figure out what to do with this error?
[21:10] <etyrnal> shell^
[21:10] <afallenhope> thingfish:  I found it ,.. had to edit my menu
[21:10] <oldcpu> woli, hhmmm.... if works . don't fix it
[21:10] <xenos> Boohbah: yup, software
[21:10] <etyrnal> is the a nice linux cli tool for issuing SHELL commands to several machine at once on a local network ?
[21:10] <thingfish> afallenhope: cool
[21:10] <Ttech> How do I get talk to operate on Ubutnu Server
[21:10] <Boohbah> Fegis: lspci -v
[21:10] <woli> I'm doing all of this because Skype says 'Problem with audio playback'
[21:10] <Boohbah> Fegis: then plugin the line for your card to google
[21:10] <afallenhope> I just need to update the card
[21:10] <Fegis> Boohbah: oki, thanks
[21:10] <oldcpu> woli, ok ... I never use Skype ... so I'll bow out here
[21:10] <Boohbah> xenos: amarok
[21:11] <woli> oldcpu, I know it will be very confident to ask you this, but could you test skype to see if it works for you?
[21:11] <oldcpu> woli, sorry ... more bloat :) ... not interested
[21:11] <woli> no problem...
[21:12] <aleks> Hey all.
[21:12] <manixtate> HELLO
[21:12] <Lynet> !hello | manixtate
[21:12] <afallenhope> thingfish: have you updated your gfx card /
[21:12] <afallenhope> like the driver
[21:12] <Xsss4hell> white screen of death
[21:12] <Xsss4hell> I installed ubuntu hardy,fresh and clean. Installed ubuntustudio packages. reboot it works.. I went to ati.com downloaded the linux drivers installed it with "sudo sh" and rebooted. then the scren was blank after login, compiz is disabled. I have a ATI 9800XT. this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d35ea7044 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-rt is already installed
[21:13] <thingfish> afallenhope: what do you mean
[21:13] <D4s0tt0c4t> is anyone here familiar with the rt3 driver?
[21:13] <thingfish> oh I see
[21:13] <afallenhope> thingfish: what gfx card you running?
[21:13] <Xsss4hell>  the proprietary ati drivers provided by ubuntu they don't support some effects of compiz. I want enable compiz when this works...
[21:13] <afallenhope> D4s0tt0c4t:  yeah I am
[21:13] <thingfish> afallenhope: nvidia 8600GT
[21:13] <aleks> I've been having some performance issues running Hardy with xfce. Occasional freezing, and a stuttering mouse pointer. Anyone have any tips on how to improve it? Things ran fine with Gutsy as I recall.
[21:13] <afallenhope> thingfish: oh.. have you been to the site and updated the driver to make sure you have the latest/
[21:13] <afallenhope> D4s0tt0c4t:  I have it running my USB dongle atm
[21:14] <thingfish> afallenhope: no, I'm just going to use the ubuntu-provided one.
[21:14] <D4s0tt0c4t> afallenhope: thank you, I'm having a time getting my edimax 7318 to initialize
[21:14] <afallenhope> thingfish: might want to update it..
[21:14] <remu> hey guys, i need some help. I'm trying to install my Dazzle Digital Video Creator 80 on Ubuntu Hardy 64bit. After doing some searching online, I've figured out that the driver that will make this thing work is the usbvision driver at http://usbvision.sourceforge.net/
[21:14] <D4s0tt0c4t> afallenhope: I used the aircrack wiki tutorial to to install it
[21:14] <remu> Now my question is, how do I actually install this driver?
[21:14] <afallenhope> D4s0tt0c4t:  okay.. there's two ways of doing it.... 1.) use ndiswrapper 2.) adhanced driver
[21:14] <aleks> anyone, anyone?
[21:14] <remu> I have never installed a driver in Ubuntu before, well, other than the restricted device drivers
[21:14] <sandrino> fff
[21:14] <D4s0tt0c4t> i just dl'd the tar and did a make make install
[21:15] <afallenhope> D4s0tt0c4t: yeah.. so you're using it for "illegal" purposes... send me a PM I'll tell you how to fix it
[21:15] <manixtate> Have updated to hardy and can't get digital camera to connect, is there a channel for this enquiry pls?
[21:15] <D4s0tt0c4t> afallenhope: no I'm not I just used backtrack and aircrack is the only experience i have
[21:15] <D4s0tt0c4t> afallenhope: but everything is here in my own lab
[21:15] <homeuser> guys is there a skype package for Linux?
[21:15] <homeuser> for Ubuntu?
[21:15] <manixtate> ubuntu indeed
[21:16] <emma> !skype | homeuser
[21:16] <afallenhope> you need to get the enhanced driver
[21:16] <aleks> I'm running the realtime kernel on a Presario R3000, 1Gig ram, ATI Mob. Radeon 9600, and B a broadcom network card.
[21:16] <afallenhope> D4s0tt0c4t: the version I know that works is 3.0
[21:16] <homeuser> ubottu: cool. thanks. :)
[21:16] <abed> hi
[21:16] <crazy6> uh, how do I check if I have 8.04 or 7.10 ? I have several computers and i have forgotten which ones I've upgraded
[21:16] <Boohbah> aleks: were you using the same kernel with gutsy?
[21:17] <abed> how to install the cube ?!
[21:17] <Boohbah> !compiz | abed
[21:17] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know what might cause choppy/stuttery audio playback? it occurs in all applications, and it isn't a terribly stutter. Probably a single quick stutter every few minutes or so
[21:17] <Boohbah> dmsuperman: scheduling latency
[21:17] <emma> abed - do you have compiz already running?
[21:18] <aleks> No Boohbah. I did a clean install originally, and the problems were a lot worse/more frequent. Then someone suggested I switch to the RT kernel, and I tried it. It seemed to improve things a little bit. But only a very little bit.
[21:18] <freddy_engels> I get this error with pulseaudio in /var/log. X11 doesn't seem to boot fully, all that happens is my wallpaper appears and nothing more. Any ideas what I should do?
[21:18] <freddy_engels> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14618/
[21:18] <Xsss4hell> I installed ubuntu hardy,fresh and clean. Installed ubuntustudio packages. reboot it works.. I went to ati.com downloaded the linux drivers installed it with "sudo sh" and rebooted. then the scren was blank after login, compiz is disabled. I have a ATI 9800XT. this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d35ea7044 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-rt is already installed
[21:18] <dmsuperman> Boohbah, what does that mean?
[21:19] <dmsuperman> Boohbah, I don't think it's hardware, everything in this machine is pretty fast. That, and windows has no issues with it
[21:19] <vonSmallhausen> Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[21:19] <Boohbah> aleks: realtime kernel is useful for certain things, like low latency audio. press a key on your midi controller and the sound comes out. but not as useful for general audio playback
[21:20] <Steve-cal> Boohbah: Excuse my jumping in, but why is the RT kernel not useful for audio playback?
[21:21] <Boohbah> http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html
[21:21] <MrBashir> Is adding "/Folding/fah6 -forceasm -verbosity 9"  to /etc/rc.local a bad idea?
[21:22] <aleks> Ah, that would make sense Boohbah. I am not too well educated on the whole rt vs. generic thing. But do you think it is part of the overall problem?
[21:22] <Boohbah>     * The buffer size should be as large as possible to minimize the risk of drop-outs.
[21:22] <Boohbah>     * The buffer size should be as small as possible to guarantee minimal latencies.
[21:23] <Alan> Does the amd64 livecd have ndiswrapper on it?
[21:23] <Fegis> Boohbah: the raid should be supported with sata_nv-driver...
[21:23] <Fegis> can I load that somehow?
[21:24] <Boohbah> Steve-cal: the audio buffers are smaller so increased rsik of drop out when playing a large sound file
[21:24] <aleks> Ah, that's a helpful link Boohbah. I don't do a lot of audio stuff, just a simple podcast, but I do have a musician friend that might find this useful.
[21:24] <poseidon> How do I run an executable via the commandline?
[21:24] <navetz_> can someone help me with firefox 3.0, It won't let me open applications, I always have to save them then open them. When I go to edit>preferences>applications it is blank. What can I do?
[21:24] <thehurley> ./executable
[21:24] <Steve-cal> Boohbah: "rsik of drop out"? What is rsik please?
[21:25] <wthex> Need help with remote disk access.
[21:25] <thehurley> wthex, ?
[21:25] <pegasos> Hello. Could somebody tell me how to open a .sitx file? help.ubuntu claims that "Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats." but I don't know how...
[21:25] <Fegis> anyone else, how can I use sata_nv-drivers when I install?
[21:25] <chicobo329> hey there. I'm having a problem with my 8.04. It seems to be a little unstable lately. Whenever I do something that would make save dialog box pop up, the entire program sometimes shuts down completely without warning. It especially happens on Firefox if I choose to save images from websites like Deviantart and such. When I play an emulator (ZSNES), sometimes the sound doesn't work and the entire top taskbar freezes over to
[21:25] <wthex> I have a freeagent drive connected to another computer on my home network and would like to access it from my laptop.
[21:26] <thehurley> wthex, is the drive/folder shared out?
[21:26] <wthex> That is one of the problems I not sure how to set permission.
[21:27] <thehurley> wthex, what os is the remote computer running?
[21:27] <homeuser> guys I"m running Hardy Heron as reported by gnome's about. Anyboyd have experience with apt-get xubuntu-desktop on this platform?
[21:27] <wthex> Linux... Ubuntu (hardy)
[21:27] <Boohbah> http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html
[21:29] <thehurley> wthex, go to the remote computer, open a file browser, select the top level folder you want to share, right click and share
[21:29] <Steve-cal> Boohbah: There is no "rsik" on that webpage...
[21:29] <pegasos> Hello. Could somebody tell me how to open a .sitx file? help.ubuntu claims that "Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats." but I don't know how...
[21:29] <thehurley> wthex, or you could use ssh to access the the remote computer
[21:30] <thehurley> wthex, sudo aptitude install ssh
[21:30] <StealthCP> pegasos, What happens when you try to open it?
[21:30] <wthex> thehurley, when I do that I get an error
[21:30] <thehurley> and the error is?
[21:30] <pegasos> StealthCP: it asks me what program I want to open it in
[21:30] <wthex>    	 	 	 	 	 	   'net' usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. You do not have permission to create a suershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[21:30] <StealthCP> hmm, you'll need to install support for sitx then, sec
[21:30] <pegasos> I tried to search apt for sitx but got no results
[21:30] <paolo> Does anyone know if I can use xrandr to switch off/on my second external monitor?
[21:30] <Alan> Is there a way to install a 64-bit kernel under 32-bit ubuntu without rolling my own?
[21:31] <woli> well, don't bother. My skype works now!
[21:31] <Slart> Is there anything like imagemagick but for audio? I would like to apply some filters and stuff to a couple of mp3's before I burn them to a CD. Anyone have any tips?
[21:31] <emma> woli congrats
[21:31] <kitche> Alan: nit really
[21:31] <Ashfire908> Does run-parts follow symlinks?
[21:32] <Alan> kitche, shame :(
[21:32] <exco> Is it possible to display one side of compiz cube on each monitor in a multimonitor setup?
[21:32] <emma> that might really be a question to ask in #compiz-fusion if no one can help you here.
[21:33] <exco> thanks, emma
[21:33] <StealthCP> pegasos, all I can find is
[21:33] <emma> sure. :)
[21:33] <StealthCP> http://www.stuffit.com/unix/stuffit/index.html
[21:33] <StealthCP> which is not probably the best solution
[21:33] <Kilorf> hi, have a problem after running aticonfig... windows seem to using the "main taskbar" as their toolbar... is there any way to disable this?
[21:33] <emma> his is a windows question?
[21:34] <Kilorf> no
[21:34] <wthex> thehurley: I will also need to be able to access that disk from  a Vista OS.
[21:34] <Kilorf> it is a question about windows in ubuntu
[21:34] <pegasos> StealthCP: okay, thanks for the help anyways. I wonder if this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX should be edited to "Ubuntu can run .sitx but nobody knows how to"? :D
[21:34] <StealthCP> That's what I saw too  :)
[21:34] <StealthCP> interesting
[21:35] <babo> emma: i still get the same error ...
[21:35] <remu> hey guys, i need help installing the usbvision driver, Ive never installed a driver before...please help?
[21:35] <muramasa> Does anyone know the normal memory usage for kde xorg?
[21:35] <emma> babo: with what?
[21:35] <muramasa> Mine is currently over 900mb, and it feels like it's a bit too high
[21:35] <AcornAcorn> why has my firefox window gone completely grey?
[21:36] <babolat> It's processing something and denied you access, AcornAcorn
[21:36] <Chaelvin> So I'm a computer tech, but am somewhat new to Linux and am interested in using Ubuntu as a home-based server for file-sharing and remote access, as well as a game-server. I was able to complete the setup but the GRUB would not install itself and I'm not sure why. My specs are as follows: Two Intel Xeon Processors at 2.8 Ghz each, 1 GB RAM, and a Promise SX6000 RAID controller (hardware based, it is plugged into a PCI
[21:36] <pegasos> AcornAcorn: Maybe it has gotten old? :(
[21:36] <tafsen> Can you use vnc for remote desktop controling?
[21:36] <babo> emma: ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 f.avi
[21:36] <babo> Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.0
[21:36] <thehurley> wthex, sorry, i'm unsure what the problem is
[21:36] <lr5> uhh, I'm trying to upgrade gdm on my laptop and it just hangs (Ubuntu 8.04)
[21:36] <AcornAcorn> babo: oh, so if i'm uploading something to a website it stops me from doing anything?
[21:36] <emma> babo: let's be very clear.. you are running Hardy or Gutsy?
[21:37] <babo> emma: gutsy. I've replaced the hardy package with the gutsy package and ran update and upgrade ...
[21:37] <AcornAcorn> babolat: oh, so if i'm uploading something to a website it stops me from doing anything?
[21:37] <wthex> thehurley, thanks for your interest. I believe I need to set permissions for accessing that directory, but don't remember how (been a long time since I have run Linux)
[21:37] <babo> i also ran ldconfig just for in case ...
[21:37] <sharms> AcornAcorn - you might want to enable hardy-proposed the new kernel solves a lot of those types of issues
[21:38] <babolat> AcornAcorn: it probably is doing that because you're uploading a large file. which version are you using?
[21:38] <AcornAcorn> babolat: yes, a large file, 3 beta 5
[21:38] <babolat> X just dies on me the third time since hardy has been receiving updates. *sigh*
[21:38] <emma> babo I see.
[21:38] <thehurley> wthex, you definitely installed samba?
[21:38] <babolat> AcornAcorn: how long has it been at it? the greying
[21:38] <misha> zaraz
[21:38] <wthex> Yes...
[21:39] <emma> babo: when you open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg   what does it say?
[21:39] <emma> babo: does it tell you that you already have the most recent version?
[21:39] <jhaig> I have messed up an X configuration after adding a new graphics card.  How can I get to the X configuration again?  The display at present is not usable, so I need to get to some sort of "fail safe" session.
[21:39] <jhaig> Using Feisty.
[21:40] <AcornAcorn> babolat: oh, it was only grey until the upload finished
[21:40] <babo> emma: yeah. but when i run it, it tells me that ...
[21:40] <babo> configuration: --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-gpl --disable-mmx
[21:40] <wthex> thehurley, the command 'net usershare' is samba command.
[21:40] <lr5> jhaig: ctrl+alt+f1?
[21:40] <babolat> AcornAcorn: that's really not a big problem. final release of ver3 should be more stable than beta
[21:40] <jhaig> lr5: Thanks.  I can get to that, but then how to configure X?
[21:40] <babo> emma: that's my original configuration that i got from svn for the old ffmpeg methinks ...
[21:41] <babo> emma: it should be configured with more than that right ?
[21:41] <lr5> jhaig: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:41] <wthex> Maybe what we should focus on is how to set permission for that folder.
[21:41] <emma> babo -- try uninstalling ti and then installing with sudo apt-get install ffmepg ?
[21:41] <lr5> jhaig: or vim, whichever you prefer
[21:41] <babolat> where do i start if i want to hunt down the culprit of X window's crashing?
[21:41] <emma> babo - for what you want to do: convert mp4 to avi you might want to try: sudo apt-get install avidemux
[21:41] <lr5> babolat: does that happen when you enter a site in firefox?
[21:42] <usser>  babo whats up?
[21:42] <babolat> no, lr5
[21:42] <sharms> babolat - /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:42] <babo> emma: i've tried that, it won't open the files ...
[21:42] <babo> emma: sudo apt-get update | grep media
[21:42] <babolat> it happens as randomly as i can imagine it can lr5
[21:42] <babo> nothing
[21:42] <babo> usser: issues with ffmpeg, can't get it to convert mp4 -> avi
[21:42] <jhaig> lr5: I was rather hoping that I would be able to boot up in a recovery mode with a minimal graphics setting.  When I booted up immediately after adding the card it did that but now I have "configured" it it is messed up.
[21:42] <usser> babo, if u had ffmpeg installed before u did mediubuntu then u have to purge its support packages as well apt-get install ffmpeg will not be enough
[21:42] <Chaelvin> can anyone help me or is there some kind of protocol that I've failed to read somewhere...=)
[21:42] <AnthroTechie> hey I'm having problems with in-put/out-put. I can't here sound from my web browser when I pause my music player. I have to restart the computer and leave the music player closed.
[21:43] <emma> babo - sorry then I'm at a loss. I don't know enough about ffmpeg or converting mp4 to avi.
[21:43] <cogeno> Would Ubuntu Server edition have xattr support out of the box?
[21:43] <wthex> thehurley, Thanks for your interest but I have to go...
[21:43] <cogeno> for ext43 filesystems?
[21:43] <cogeno> ext3, rather
[21:43] <emma> babo: so try sudo apt-get remove --purge ffmpeg
[21:43] <babo> emma: ah ok. It's definitely bringing ffmpeg from the media repo. But the new ffmpeg can't convert either ... :-(
[21:43] <emma> babo: and then sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[21:43] <babo> I think i'll go to svn ...
[21:44] <emma> babo: ahh shoot.
[21:44] <usser> babo, ie sudo dpkg --purge ffmpeg libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d libswscale1d
[21:44] <Kilorf> If i open vlc player or any other program, the main menu (Application, Places & System) with the programs own options. It seemed to happen right after i ran "aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=top" i have my TV connected as external monitor. Any idea if it can be fixed?
[21:45] <usser> babo, and then assuming u followed the steps on medibuntu site do apt-get install ffmpeg
[21:45] <lImItaO> anyone knows how to get into the cherokee web configuration in Hardy?
[21:45] <Dahita> hi all
[21:45] <Kilorf> sorry, the main menu options are replaced, with that of the program*
[21:45] <Dahita> could someone tell me plz how to make a line start automatically ev
[21:45] <Dahita> erytime I run linux plz
[21:45] <usser> babo, all those lib files are from ubuntu's standard repo and dont get reinstalled automatically
[21:45] <Starnestommy> Dahita: what line?
[21:45] <babo> usser: yeah, ffmpeg from media is definitely installed. but it won't run the conversion ...
[21:46] <Dahita> sudo modprobe ath_pci
[21:46] <usser> babo, are u sure? pastebin dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg
[21:46] <emma> !info cherokee | lImItaO
[21:46] <Chousuke> babo: how are you trying to do the conversion?
[21:46] <Dahita> it s very annoying, it s in order to get internet to work properly
[21:46] <babo> ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 f.avi
[21:46] <babo> Chousuke, ^
[21:46] <emma> lImItaO: so you should be able to open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install cherokee
[21:46] <Chousuke> babo: that won't work
[21:46] <Starnestommy> Dahita: add "ath_pci" to /etc/modules
[21:46] <Starnestommy> (without the " marks)
[21:46] <Dahita> great thx
[21:47] <babo> Chousuke, huh ?
[21:47] <Dahita> I m totally new (tried linux since yesterday night)
[21:47] <lImItaO> emma: i already installed Cherokee, but i want to enter in the web configuration
[21:47] <Dahita> how can I do that plz?
[21:47] <Chousuke> babo: you will need to specify parameters.
[21:47] <Chousuke> babo: first of all, most likely you will need to re-encode the video and audio in the file
[21:47] <Chousuke> babo: what format is it?
[21:47] <Starnestommy> Dahita: gksudo gedit /etc/modules (in applications > accessories > terminal)
[21:47] <babo> Chousuke, but the error it gives is ...
[21:47] <babo> Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.0
[21:47] <Dahita> thx I'm gonna try it right now
[21:47] <babo> Chousuke, mp4
[21:48] <Chousuke> babo: that's just the container
[21:48] <Chousuke> babo: I meant the video
[21:48] <Dahita> so I just add it to the list
[21:48] <Chousuke> is it h.264, divx or what?
[21:48] <babo> Chousuke, i dunno, i thought it was mp4 ? how do i find out then ?
[21:48] <Gohalien> People, how to install eclipse (64 bits) + PDT (Php development tools) ?
[21:48] <Dahita> like Fuse, lp, rtc etc etc
[21:48] <Chousuke> I wonder
[21:48] <Ashfire908> Does run-parts follow symlinks?
[21:48] <usser> babo, can u pastebin the output of dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg?
[21:48] <ommegang> does the ati raedon 7200 64mb video card work with ubuntu?
[21:49] <usser> ommegang, yes it does
[21:49] <remu> hey guys, I have a question, Im running ubuntu 8.04, and have a dazzle dvc-80, which is said to be supported by usbvision...what do I need to do to capture video from my video camera? just plug the camera into the capture device, and plug that into my computer usb? or do I have to install the usbvision driver? I'm a little lost....
[21:49] <gfxstyler> hello
[21:49] <babo> usser: sorry. ... yeah I'm sure ... http://pastebin.com/m2dc24d7c
[21:49] <ommegang> i cant get ubuntu to install. i am thinking the mobo's screwed.
[21:49] <gfxstyler> why do the ubuntu desktop effects need xserver-xgl?
[21:49] <Dahita> thx Starnestommy
[21:49] <gfxstyler> i use the opensource radeon drivers which support aiglx, i dont want xgl
[21:49] <babo> Chousuke, mp4 isn't the format ?
[21:49] <misha> join #ivanovo
[21:49] <Chousuke> babo: no, "mp4" is a file extension
[21:50] <babo> Chousuke, file extensions usually denote file formats though right ?
[21:50] <Chousuke> babo: the "format" is probably an MPEG-4 container with a video stream (possibly h.264) an an audio stream (AAC 5.1 or AC3 or...)
[21:50] <Starnestommy> gfxstyler: xserver-xgl can use aiglx, iirc
[21:50] <Chousuke> babo: not in this case.
[21:50] <Chousuke> babo: the only thing it tells you is the container, and that doesn't get you very far.
[21:51] <usser> babo, everything seems fine
[21:51] <babo> usser: aye, thanks
[21:51] <PaulATL> Can anyone recommend a URL (or other resource) to help me decide on a laptop to buy that will be easily compatible with Ubuntu Hardy?
[21:51] <Chousuke> babo: can you paste the entire output of the ffmpeg command when you run it?
[21:52] <babolat> !ot | PaulATL
[21:52] <usser> babo, hm thats interesting ffmpeg -formats shows that only encoding to mp4 is supported no decoding
[21:52] <gfxstyler> Starnestommy: is it fast? i mean xserver-xgl
[21:52] <Chousuke> babolat: that's not OT.
[21:52] <babo> Chousuke, file vid.mp4 -> vid.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2
[21:52] <gfxstyler> Starnestommy: i just head aiglx is faster than xgl
[21:52] <Baltazaar> PaulATL: I use a ThinkPad R61i, and everything, just works...
[21:52] <Starnestommy> gfxstyler: it's very fast for me
[21:52] <PaulATL> Sorry - did not know this was off topic.  I was asking about compatibility.
[21:52] <Chousuke> babo: that doesn't tell enough.
[21:52] <orudie> orudie
[21:52] <bobsomebody> idiot question: howto mount floppy via command line?
[21:52] <BrianG> my computer running hardy won't load nin.com at all, but every other computer on my network will
[21:52] <Chousuke> PaulATL: You weren't OT, really.
[21:53] <babo> Chousuke, the entire thing ? what about just the first page ?
[21:53] <Chousuke> !hcl | PaulATL
[21:53] <PaulATL> Chousuke: thanks!
[21:53] <Romanista> salve
[21:53] <Chousuke> PaulATL: you might want to google for "ubuntu laptop support" or something too.
[21:53] <Chousuke> babo: first page? there isn't that much text is there?
[21:53] <PaulATL> Yeah... the google searches don't turn up much that's helpful.
[21:53] <PaulATL> Will check the wikis
[21:53] <Chousuke> babo: use pastebin, it doesn't matter if it's a bit long
[21:54] <Baltazaar> PaulATL: Just avoid laps with too many hardware control buttons, like many HP models.
[21:54] <ariqs> i need to swtich from i686 to i386 in order to be able to connect to the net, which means I need to download all the packages I need for i386 from another computer and put them on a flash drive. How do I identify all that I need?
[21:54] <babo> Chousuke, it's about 9 pages ...
[21:54] <Chousuke> hm. shouldn't be
[21:54] <Chousuke> babo: anyway, paste it all
[21:54] <Chousuke> on pastebin, please.
[21:54] <babo> Chousuke, all it does is gives a list of switches ...
[21:54] <PaulATL> Baltazaar: thanks, I'll be sure to watch for that
[21:55] <Chousuke> babo: ah
[21:55] <babo> Chousuke, it goes off the terminal. i can't even paste it all ...
[21:55] <Chousuke> babo: well that would be it then.
[21:55] <Chousuke> babo: your command is just wrong :9
[21:55] <Chousuke> babo: try something like ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -f avi file.avi
[21:55] <babo> Chousuke, which ffmpeg -> /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
[21:56] <kitche> ariqs: why do you need to use i386 packages since they are the same as i686 really
[21:56] <Chousuke> babo: no, I mean, ffmpeg doesn't work as simply as you'd like it to
[21:56] <blizzardman1219_> hi everyone! i'm trying to access the internet on my ubuntu comp and all my attempts thus far have failed. i got the drivers on my wireless card working so that i can view my wireless network but when i enter the password it doesn't seem to be working. i tried downloading wpagui but it's not letting me do anything... any help?
[21:56] <Chousuke> babo: you need to give it the proper options so it can do the transcoding
[21:56] <Baltazaar> PaulATL: I would seriously consider Lenovo/IBM ThinkPads. They're just great. Solid and well thought out design. Looks a bit 90's, but works like horses...
[21:56] <ariqs> kitche: my modem's drivers are only packaged for i386
[21:56] <kitche> ariqs: so you can still use i686 and i386 together really
[21:56] <phenom_> hi, anyone here using compiz with fusion icon and on nvidia ?
[21:57] <babo> Chousuke, it just gives the same result ...
[21:57] <ariqs> kitche: how? I got the i386 package that has my modems driver and it's not working right now
[21:57] <Chousuke> babo: well I really can't help you then :/
[21:57] <babo> Chousuke, aye, thanks anyway ...
[21:58] <Chousuke> babo: you'll need to read the docs more thoroughly to find out how to use ffmpeg
[21:58] <ariqs> and now the dork left, cute
[21:58] <babo> Chousuke, i don't think it's a command thing. i think it's a codec thing ...
[21:59] <tha_infamoous> can i instal my webcam on ubuntu?
[21:59] <soundray> !webcam | tha_infamoous
[21:59] <aaBlueDragon> Hi! i cant get GSynaptics to work. i have a laptop dell xps m1530
[21:59] <Chousuke> babo: if it gives you the usage listing it's a problem with the command
[22:00] <ariqs> before desktop linux is ever going to become the slightest bit adopted by the mainstream, it's going to have to actually support a hell of a lot more networking hardware without dicking around for days
[22:00] <Chousuke> babo: anyway, you can copypaste from the terminal. just scroll up
[22:00] <aaBlueDragon> it says i have to add shmconfig set to true.. ive doen that but it wont help
[22:00] <Chousuke> babo: there's a scrollbar :P
[22:00] <Chousuke> ariqs: do you perchance have a USB ADSL modem?
[22:00] <ariqs> i need to switch from i686 to i386 in order to be able to connect to the net, which means I need to download all the packages I need for i386 from another computer and put them on a flash drive. How do I identify all that I need?
[22:00] <Chousuke> ariqs: also known as a piece of poo :P
[22:00] <soundray> ariqs: your offtopic comment just shows how little you understand about the constraints under which developers of a Free operating system operate
[22:01] <jean_> Hi, how can I know which video driver I'm using ?
[22:01] <tha_infamoous> soundray ubottu
[22:01] <aaBlueDragon> Can anyone help me please? i can't run GSynaptics for my touchpad....
[22:01] <aaBlueDragon> i run ubuntu 8.04
[22:01] <Chousuke> ariqs: what do you mean from i686 to i386?
[22:01] <ariqs> soundray: I stated pure reality. Perhaps the developers have the cards stacked against them, but it's still true
[22:01] <soundray> aaBlueDragon: perhaps you have an Alps touchpad rather than a synaptics one
[22:01] <Gumby> can anyone tell me if the stock hardy kernel(s) are smp capable?  I just realized that only one core is being recognized by 2.6.24-16-386
[22:01] <mahrellon> Evening everyone
[22:01] <Chousuke> ariqs: there's no "i686"
[22:02] <Steve-cal> ariqs: Well at least Linux comes with a full money back guarantee--I think you should demand a refund. :)
[22:02] <linxuz3r> hey whatsup guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:02] <soundray> ariqs: you don't need to switch all your packages around. You just need a kernel that matches the driver you are trying to load
[22:02] <slimjimflim> where's the repo file? anybody?
[22:02] <Chousuke> ariqs: anyway, please answer. Is this a USB ADSL modem?
[22:02] <ariqs> Chousuke: uname -m i686
[22:03] <mahrellon> Gumby: As far as I know running it on a dualcore shouldnt be a problem.  The crap hardware I have seems to work fine in ubuntu, funny that ;P
[22:04] <soundray> !language | Chousuke
[22:04] <Chousuke> soundray: yeah, yeah. I simply have no love for winmodems.
[22:05] <Chousuke> ariqs: you're trying to use windows-only hardware. that's not going to work
[22:05] <Gumby> mahrellon: strange.  which kernel are you using?
[22:05] <Chousuke> ariqs: you will go through pain every time you upgrade.
[22:05] <soundray> Chousuke: they aren't that bad. If vendors were to open the specs, they could be used much more flexibly than standalone modems.
[22:05] <Chousuke> ariqs: please go buy something that's supported.
[22:06] <ariqs> Chousuke, there are open source drivers for it, they're just not packaged for i686, and they're a mess.
[22:06] <Chousuke> ariqs: it's for your own good, really. (I speak of experience)
[22:06] <ariqs> Chousuke, I'm not dumping money on this nonsense OS ;p
[22:06] <soundray> ariqs: no, the drivers aren't open source
[22:06] <genii> Gah, conexants
[22:06] <idefine> anyway for me to boot off another user? while I am root?
[22:06] <PaRaSiTe2> Hi
[22:06] <ariqs> soundray,  then why can I actually see the source files?
[22:06] <PaRaSiTe2> Sorry, wrong channel.
[22:06] <Chousuke> ariqs: Who said about dumping money on Ubuntu? I see it as investing in your own health.
[22:06] <aaBlueDragon> Soundray you were right. XPS m1530 does use an Alps touchpad
[22:07] <silencedbear> I'm wondering why my sound died after i updated my linux. I tried to reinstall the alsa mixer packages and even pulse audio but it's to no good outcome anyone have any ideas ?
[22:07] <aaBlueDragon> anyone know of a good software for alps touchpads???
[22:07] <Gumby> silencedbear: you probably need the backports modules
[22:07] <Chousuke> ariqs: the conexant drivers contain proprietary modules, and as such are not truly open source.
[22:07] <ekontsevoy> how do I exit GDM session into a console?
[22:07] <Gumby> silencedbear: which kernel?
[22:07] <soundray> ariqs: seeing the source doesn't mean it's open source ( = freely distributable)
[22:07] <ekontsevoy> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace only restarts it
[22:07] <Chousuke> ariqs: if they were, they'd already be part of the linux kernel.
[22:07] <genii> ekontsevoy: Select Console Login
[22:07] <monimc> hello
[22:08] <monimc> anyone here
[22:08] <monimc> oh
[22:08] <ekontsevoy> genii: thanks, lemme try
[22:08] <Chousuke> ariqs: trying to get your modem working is simply not worth the pain.
[22:08] <soundray> aaBlueDragon: tpconfig supports Alps (much more basic than gsynaptics, unfortunately)
[22:08] <soundray> !info tpconfig | aaBlueDragon
[22:08] <monimc> OMG how do u get Compiz to work
[22:09] <Chousuke> ariqs: besides, you're doing it wrong anyway
[22:09] <aaBlueDragon> THANKS!
[22:09] <ariqs> Chousuke, oh, really? how should I go about it then?
[22:09] <storm-zen> I'm having IP problems that seem to be above the scope of my understanding.  Trying to get hardy and gibbon machines to ping each other.  Hardy has two interfaces, eth0 and eth1, with static ips <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>.  Gibbon has <IP_ADDRESS>.  I get network host unreachable.  Running shorewall on Gibbon (but the rules are cleared right now), and as far as I can tell, nothing is running on Hardy.  What's going on?
[22:09] <Gumby> silencedbear: enable backports repo in synaptic and then install the linux-ubuntu-modules for your kernel
[22:09] <Chousuke> ariqs: you're not supposed to change your kernel. you're supposed to take the binary+source and compile the module yourself
[22:09] <ariqs> it won't compile you dolt ;P
[22:09] <ariqs> i tried that first
[22:09] <silencedbear> Gumby, 2.6.12-10-686-smp
[22:09] <Chousuke> ariqs: well then you're screwed
[22:09] <ariqs> no, i need to switch to i386
[22:10] <soundray> ariqs: no, you don't
[22:10] <ariqs> as I've been asking about from the start
[22:10] <Chousuke> ariqs: that won't work either.
[22:10] <ariqs> yes it will
[22:10] <ekontsevoy> Hm... I tried terminal login in GDM menu but it was "failsafe" terminal - I want normal login, but.. hold on - I simply want to kill GDM and be in a terminal. How do I do that?
[22:10] <ariqs> there are packaged drivers for i383
[22:10] <genii> storm-zen: Set default gateway to be one of the adapter IPs
[22:10] <Chousuke> ariqs: it will break every time there's a kernel upgrade.
[22:10] <ariqs> like I said from the start
[22:10] <gilan> how to compile kde
[22:10] <PaRaSiTe2> Is anyone here on dial up modem?  If so, what modem do you have?  3 now I've tried to no avail!!
[22:10] <ariqs> i386 rather
[22:10] <Odd-rationale> ekontsevoy: do "ctrl+alt+f1"
[22:10] <blizzardman1219_> is there anyone here with experience with wpagui/wpa_supplicant that can help me?
[22:10] <soundray> ariqs: you need the kernel for which they are compiled, that's all
[22:11] <ariqs> soundray: and its dependencies, right?
[22:11] <mahrellon> Gumby, Sorry m8. Was afk a bit there hehe. I'm on the 2.6.24-16-generic
[22:11] <zebra> my ubuntu 7.1 won't run from live cd
[22:11] <Chousuke> ariqs: the kernel has no dependencies.
[22:11] <Odd-rationale> ekontsevoy: login there. so stop GDM do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[22:11] <ekontsevoy> Odd-rationale: that's different - that will switch me to another text-based process. I want to shut XOrg and Compiz and GDM down and just sit in text console.
[22:11] <soundray> ariqs: kernel packages don't have many dependencies
[22:11] <zebra> can anyone talk to me about that?
[22:11] <storm-zen> genii: That's a little too generic for me.  I have a linksys router/firewall at <IP_ADDRESS> that I'm using for default gateway.
 i saw dependencies
[22:11] <Gumby> mahrellon: allrighty.  I'll see if that one works for me :)  thanks
[22:11] <ekontsevoy> Odd-rationale: lemme try that!
[22:11] <mahrellon> Gumby, and my CPU is a P4 EM64 x64 (Kernel is x32)
[22:11] <mahrellon> Gumby, Anytime m8 and good luck :)
[22:12] <silencedbear> Gumby, How would i do that i have synaptic opened.
[22:12] <Chousuke> ariqs: I would guess you need to just install linux-image-something-generic and boot to it.
[22:12] <soundray> ariqs: and most dependencies between different kernel packages will be identical
[22:12] <genii> storm-zen: Did you set the <IP_ADDRESS> as the deafult gateway then in the static configs?
[22:12] <storm-zen> genii, yes.
[22:12] <soundray> ariqs: what's the full name of the kernel modules package that has the driver you need?
[22:13] <storm-zen> genii: Although the gibbon is using DHCP, I'm on the gibbon talking on IRC.
[22:13] <genii> storm-zen: Have you set <IP_ADDRESS> as the broadcast address?
[22:13] <aaBlueDragon> any help? When im running tpconfig it says: Found Synaptics Touchpad
[22:13] <aaBlueDragon> and nothing happens
[22:13] <Industrial> I've been vurring a bit too much in synaptic I think. Nautilus (haven't encountered another app) is not showing some fonts; http://images.gammatester.com/pics/0a6949bbf78f8b6038a39bdb478492e8.png Anyone hever had this or knows how to solve it?
[22:13] <ariqs> http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 has the driver I need
[22:13] <Chousuke> ariqs: sudo aptitude install linux-image-2.6.24-16-386
[22:13] <ariqs> I can't do that
[22:13] <soundray> ariqs: why?
[22:13] <ariqs> because I need the driver to connect to the net
[22:14] <ariqs> I hve that image anyway
[22:14] <storm-zen> genii: Not intentionally, but that is the broadcast that shows in both Gibbon and Hardy.
[22:14] <ariqs> on a flash drive
[22:14] <ben1225> Hi! I'm looking for help with a squashfs error on install. I get an "unable to read page" message.
[22:14] <ariqs> but it has depedencies
[22:14] <Gumby> ariqs: so get the dependancies and also put them on the flash drive?
[22:14] <Chousuke> ariqs: it should have no dependencies that you don't have
[22:14] <genii> storm-zen: From the gutsy box can you ping any of the two IPs on the other?
[22:14] <ariqs> gumby: I first came in here asking about what those were
[22:14] <Chousuke> ariqs: what happens when you run dpkg -i on the .deb file?
[22:15] <PaRaSiTe2> Anyone here on dial-up?
[22:15] <soundray> ariqs: pastebin the output from Chousuke's suggestion please
[22:15] <ariqs> I was double clicking on the package to install it, not sure. I'll have to go boot that machine up to see
[22:15] <storm-zen> genii: I get Destination host unreachable.
[22:15] <storm-zen> genii: That's what kills me.
[22:15] <Chousuke> ariqs: are you sure it's the correct version though?
[22:15] <soundray> ariqs: forget pastebin, you'd need internet for that  of course
[22:15] <Chousuke> ariqs: not from another ubuntu version or something?
[22:16] <darthdegoran> Sup?
[22:16] <darthdegoran> Hey
[22:16] <silencedbear> How do i install the linux-ubuntu-modules ?
[22:16] <genii> storm-zen: The IPs are being semi-statically set from the router, according to MAC of nics involved?
[22:17] <darthdegoran> So, what are you talking about?
[22:17] <jean_> IThe Intel 815EM is not detected correctly under hardy on my Sony Vaio PCG-FX503. It was correctly detected under Gutsy... What can I do ?
[22:17] <Gumby> mahrellon: ah of course,  iwas using 386 kernel and not generic. doh!
[22:17] <storm-zen> genii: No, on hardy, I set the IPs with the network config tool.
[22:17] <Chousuke> ariqs: because the only deps the kernel image  has are packages which you already must have. if you didn't, the system wouldn't even boot!
[22:17] <storm-zen> On gibbon, it is getting its ip from the Linksys box.
[22:17] <juliocolivet> hola no se nada como instalo messenger windows 8
[22:17] <darthdegoran> SUP?
[22:17] <Industrial> I've been cutting a bit too much with synaptic I think. Nautilus (haven't encountered another app) is not showing some fonts; http://images.gammatester.com/pics/0a6949bbf78f8b6038a39bdb478492e8.png Anyone hever had this or knows how to solve it?
[22:18] <saltedlight> On https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo are listed this 4 commands: sudo update-modules sudo modprobe kqemu sudo modprobe -r kqemu sudo modprobe kqemu but this commands are deptrcated and they do nothing. What is the alternative? Is there any other posibility to load modules in kernel at least at boot time (even if that means that i have to reboot on evrey change...)?
[22:18] <genii> storm-zen: Is the hardy box able to ping the gateway?
[22:18] <silencedbear> I'm wondering why my sound died after i updated my linux. I tried to reinstall the alsa mixer packages and even pulse audio but it's to no good outcome anyone have any ideas ?
[22:19] <darthdegoran>  8-)
[22:19] <mahrellon> Gumby, Glad to see you found out what the problem was then :D
[22:19] <darthdegoran> Sup?

[22:19] <storm-zen> genii: yes.  They both are.  Well... at least, I thought it passed that test earlier.  It's not right now, though.  Guess I'll look at that for a while.
[22:19] <darthdegoran> HELLO?
[22:19] <jdavies> !paste | silencedbear
[22:19] <jdavies> !hi | darthdegoran
[22:19] <silencedbear> Didn't mean to paste here. Can someone please help me with sound issues.
[22:20] <jean_> Hi everybody ! The Intel 815EM is not detected correctly under hardy on my Sony Vaio PCG-FX503. It was correctly detected under Gutsy... What can I do ?
[22:20] <Shishire> I just have a quick question:  I'm trying to write a symlink to a file that has a $ in it.  how do I correctly escape the $ ?
[22:20] <shunter> kick it
[22:20] <darthdegoran> Thank you
[22:21] <mib_ih7x99> Shishire: use a backslash like so: \$
[22:21] <Odd-rationale> Shishire: you could use tab completion...
[22:21] <mib_ih7x99> Shishire: When in doubt, use tab-completion
[22:21] <Shishire> ty
[22:21] <cidwel> anyone knows how to improve the volume of the wine apps?
[22:21] <Shishire> ty
[22:21] <storm-zen> genii: Apparently ifdown / ifup isn't resetting the network such that it can see the gateway.  Any ideas why it can't see the gateway?
[22:21] <jean_> How can I change the video driver  used by hardy ?
[22:21] <mib_ih7x99> I've got a few questions about mutt (a console email client). Does anybody here know how to use it?
[22:22] <saltedlight> does anyone know the right way to load new modules in kernel since modprobe is deprecated???
[22:22] <graham> is it possible to put grub on a raid0 HDD and boot up windows?
[22:22] <truefire> To jean_: google 'edit xorg.conf'
[22:22] <genii> storm-zen: If you manually specified IPs and such, you also need to manually specify the gateway and broadcast, etc
[22:23] <TidusBlade> !seen _henke
[22:23] <jean_> truefire : I thought xorg.conf wasn't used anymore in hardy ...
[22:23] <jdavies> !seen | TidusBlade
[22:23] <genii> storm-zen: For how from console, edit /etc/network/interfaces with admin privelege.  Syntax can be found for it by man interfaces
[22:23] <mib_ih7x99> jean_: Still there... :-)
[22:23] <Odd-rationale> jean_: false, it still is.
[22:23] <storm-zen> genii: I believe that I did specify the gateway.  There was no input blank for the broadcast, but the correct ip for broadcast shows up in ifconfig...
[22:24] <mib_ih7x99> How do I configure X to work with my Fujitsu P1510's passive tablet screen?
[22:24] <Ovispain> does anyone know why my preferred dissapears every time I reboot?
[22:24] <phoenix24> hadoop does not exist in the Ubuntu repositories ?
[22:24] <mib_ih7x99> The driver at conan.de doesn't seem to like 8.04...
[22:24] <Ovispain> does anyone know why my preferred wallpaper dissapears every time I reboot?
[22:24] <Ovispain> sorry
[22:24] <storm-zen> genii: Ok.  I'll give that a shot.  Thanks.
[22:24] <AcornAcorn> is there any way to move an entire workspace to another workspace?
[22:25] <genii> storm-zen: np
[22:25] <silencedbear> how to i add a cd so it will update it stats to use apt-cdrom
[22:26] <Ovispain> does anyone know why my preferred wallpaper disappears every time I reboot?
[22:26] <mib_ih7x99> silencedbear: You'll want to change your software sources. My Ubuntu machine isn't working right now so I can't tell you where exactly, but look around for a Software Sources menu item.
[22:26] <jean_> Odd-rationale and mib_ih7x99 : But I don't know how to modify it ! http://paste.ubuntu.com/14634/
[22:26] <genii> silencedbear: apt-cdrom add
[22:26] <mib_ih7x99> jean_: What driver do you need?
[22:26] <jean_> intel 815EM
[22:26] <Industrial> I've been cutting a bit too much with synaptic I think. Nautilus (haven't encountered another app) is not showing some fonts; http://images.gammatester.com/pics/0a6949bbf78f8b6038a39bdb478492e8.png Anyone hever had this or knows how to solve it?
[22:27] <silencedbear> it asks for me to insert a cd ganii
[22:27] <silencedbear> genii*

[22:27] <Mxboy> hey, is it just me or reconfiguring x only shows keyboard options?
[22:27] <gregL> how can i boot up and not have the x-server start, using 8.04 LTS ?
[22:27] <genii> silencedbear: Yes, this is when you put in the cdrom you want to use as the repository.
[22:28] <lucia_> how to know my wireless card name???
[22:28] <silencedbear> it is pulling from the internet ??? I don't have the cd to update it.
[22:28] <tolja> can some one help me to get my files from windows im runing ubuntu 7.1 live
[22:28] <fattmoley> Any Hardy users having issues with Miro?  (I ask here because #miro seems pretty dead at the moment)
[22:28] <genii> silencedbear: Or is it that you want it to NOT use cd?
[22:28] <Odd-rationale> jean_: what is the problem with your current configuration? is the resolution too small?
[22:28] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: You can access a console window without logging into X by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6
[22:28] <silencedbear> yea i want it to pull from the internet to update it it states this can i pm you ?
[22:29] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: Also try using runlevels.
[22:29] <Mxboy> is it just me or reconfiguring x only shows keyboard options?
[22:29] <ricardo> I'm having a problem with sound...I'm using 8.04...can someone help me?
[22:29] <jean_> Odd-rationale : yes : 800x600 instead of 1024x768
[22:29] <ricardo> pulseaudio is running...but no sound coming out
[22:29] <jbmagic> is ubuntu easier to use than Gentoo?
[22:29] <jrib> jbmagic: try both and use the one you think is easier
[22:29] <mad_max02> jbmagic, both of them have their good and bad sides
[22:30] <jbmagic> jrib cant afford or have the time to try both
[22:30] <gregL> mbi_ih7x99: thanks, i have read quite a bit on run levels but i am still in the dark on how to use them..
[22:30] <genii> silencedbear: No PM please. In this case do: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list     and put # in front of the first few lines referring to CDs. Then save. After to see if synaptic looks to internet
[22:30] <jrib> jbmagic: they both have live CDs.  You could have tried one in the time it took you to ask the question :)  It's a very subjective question
[22:30] <jbmagic> jrib:  thanks
[22:30] <recon> Where do I change the language again?
[22:30] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: why don't you want X starting at startup?
[22:30] <storm-zen> genii: That didn't help.  Maybe Hardy needs to be rebooted.
[22:31] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: You can choose "recovery mode" at boot and get single-user mode (just one user, root)
[22:31] <jbmagic> does ubuntu livecd have a dvd player?
[22:31] <genii> storm-zen: Did you do the ifup/ifdown sequence?
[22:31] <jkirby> hi, im trying to send certain traffic through ppp2 as apposed to ppp0. ive added the route, but the moment I do so, I cannot send any traffic through it. I get this error: http://pastebin.com/md0f3cea - any other ping and traffic works 100% through the default ppp0 - any idea why this would happen? no idea where im going wrong here
[22:31] <blizzardman1219_> is there anyone here with experience with wpagui/wpa_supplicant that can help me?
[22:31] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: What wifi card do you have?
[22:31] <jrib> jbmagic: yes, but you can't play encrypted DVDs by default.  I'll send you the instructions
[22:32] <jrib> !dvd > jbmagic (read the private message from ubottu)

[22:32] <zebra> once upon a  time i inserted the live cd ubuntu version 7.1 on this pcs cd drive and it ran just fine
[22:32] <graham> anybody know how to isntall grub on an ntfs raid0 HDD
[22:32] <zebra> but nowadays it wont work
[22:32] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: D-Link WUA 2340
[22:33] <zebra> any suggestion, pal?
[22:33] <tolja> can some 1 help me access my windows drivves? i`m running ubuntu 7.1 live
[22:33] <ariqs> you know what, I have linux-image-2.6.24-16-386 installed fine, it's another linux-image-386 that has a bunch of dependencies. I was wrong on that, my bad. However, even with linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, the drivers don't seem to be working
[22:33] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: Oh, OK. In that case, open a terminal and type sudo runlevel 3
[22:33] <Odd-rationale> jean_: try to make your screen section look more like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14639/ then save and close the file and restart X
[22:33] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: I think. If that doesn't work, try sudo init 3
[22:33] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: Sorry, I'm sort of rusty :-)
[22:33] <Mxboy> reconfiguring x on hardy heron only shows keyboard options?
[22:33] <waqastoor> any client of GIT on ubuntu ?
[22:34] <storm-zen> genii: You mean sudo /sbin/ifdown -a then sudo /sbin/ifup -a ?
[22:34] <genii> storm-zen: Yes although you don't need full path. May also require sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:34] <gregL> mbi_ih7x99: ok great...any push in the right direction is good by me...thanks i am going to give your suggestions a try...thanks again..
[22:35] <storm-zen> genii: I'll give networking a shot.
[22:35] <mib_ih7x99> gregL: Good luck.

[22:39] <xenos> Most addictive game in the world; http://alt.tnt.tv/tntoriginals/thecompany/budapestdefenders/index.htm

[22:41] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: I might be able to help you. What wifi chipset have you got, and what's your problem specifically?
[22:41] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Any reason Network Manager won't work? (Or is this for a server or something?)
[22:42] <janiel> i need help to install a desk let
[22:42] <rym> Is it normal for the tracker search tool to not-find anything, no matter what i tell it to look for?
[22:42] <storm-zen> genii: Yeah, I usually try everything I can before I do a reboot, but sometimes I break things without knowing what they are...
[22:42] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: i have the D-Link WUA 2340. i'm trying to connect to my network, but when i put in my password, it just sits for a few seconds and then asks for it again

[22:42] <janiel> lap top
[22:42] <ariqs> when I install linux-image-2.6.24-16-386 , uname -m still shows i686. Is that how it should be?
[22:43] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: What kind of security does your network have, if any? (WEP? WPA?)
[22:43] <rym> *addition to my question, when using ' search for files' in Places, i do get results. Am i just not understand what you use the tracker search tool for or ?
[22:43] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: desktop and i believe my encryption is WPA
[22:43] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: How are you trying to connect to your network?
[22:44] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: I use NetworkManager (the little icon in the upper-right corner of the screen)
[22:44] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: by clicking on the icon by the sound
[22:44] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, that's NetworkManager.
[22:44] <janiel> could some one help me
[22:44] <Fegis> can someone tell me why openssh-(client, server, cert) is kept back when doing apt-get -u upgrade? will installing them break something?

[22:44] <mib_ih7x99> !wpa | blizzardman1219_
[22:45] <jrib> Fegis: update requires you to be there.  Read the changelog
[22:45] <xodiak> janiel: what are  you trying to do?
[22:45] <janiel> install a desklet thing
[22:45] <jrib> Fegis: to actually upgrade them just do apt-get install PACKAGE
[22:45] <genii> Mxboy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg             and choose vesa as the driver
[22:45] <xodiak> janiel: do you have other desklets running?
[22:45] <genii> Apologies for lag
[22:46] <Mxboy> genii only shows keyboard options
[22:46] <janiel> i just started using ubuntu
[22:46] <Fegis> jrib: yeah, I know how to install them... but don't know any easy way to read the changelog other than visit their sourceforge-page or simular
[22:46] <janiel> i dont have any runnig
[22:46] <jrib> Fegis: aptitude changelog PACKAGE
[22:47] <Fegis> jrib: thanks alot!
[22:47] <janiel> i want to learn how to install it
[22:47] <xodiak> janiel: I'm very new too. Try going into "Synaptic Package Manager" Search for desklet and install the gdesklets package. I don't have them installed, but see them in the package list.
[22:47] <desert> linux/insigne?
[22:47] <Fegis> janiel: you know how to download an iso and burn it?
[22:47] <janiel> yes
[22:48] <kurakao> hi!
[22:48] <kurakao> i have installed ubuntu hardy in my laptop
[22:48] <ervis> how create live cd like Kubuntu edubuntu ?
[22:48] <ervis> run or install them from CD or USB like them
[22:48] <kurakao> and i have problem
[22:49] <genii> Mxboy: You can also manually add line of Driver "vesa"              under the line reading Configured Video Device in your xorg.conf file
[22:49] <Fegis> janiel: then visit the ubuntu-homepage, download the normal iso and burn it... then reboot your computer with the cd in and boot from it... choose a partiotion to install ubuntu and it will install it for you...
[22:49] <kurakao> because it blocks
[22:49] <julle_> Is there a terminalbased application that enables me to see the network traffic in realtime on a certain NIC?
[22:49] <Mxboy> genii ok, ill try, thanks
[22:49] <mib_ih7x99> julle_: Doubtless. Do an `apt-cache search pcap' and see what shows up.
[22:49] <janiel> install what
[22:49] <xodiak> janiel: I'm very new too. Try going into "Synaptic Package Manager" Search for desklet and install the gdesklets package. I don't have them installed, but see them in the package list.

[22:50] <jkirby> hi, im trying to send certain traffic through ppp2 as apposed to ppp0. ive added the route, but the moment I do so, I cannot send any traffic through it. I get this error: http://pastebin.com/md0f3cea - any other ping and traffic works 100% through the default ppp0 - any idea why this would happen? no idea where im going wrong here
[22:50] <DIL> julle_: wireshark ?
[22:50] <mib_ih7x99> james__: wireshark is graphical
[22:50] <janiel> i have downloaded some desklets i want to know ho to install them
[22:50] <gib0r> I have a little issue.  Installed 8.04 on my thinkpad here through windows and after doing an update pidgin will no longer load
[22:50] <Odd-rationale> jean_: you resolution is still too small?
[22:50] <julle_> mib_ih7x99: james__ i what to see the network traffic load, not certain data packets
[22:50] <james__> mib_ih7x99, gets the job done
[22:50] <mib_ih7x99> james__: true, but he asked for something terminalish :-)
[22:50] <mib_ih7x99> julle_: let me search for something
[22:51] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: i've already tried all of the documenation at the place where you linked me, nothing has worked
[22:51] <julle_> mib_ih7x99: thank you!
[22:51] <james__> mib_ih7x99 details details
[22:51] <gib0r> can anyone offer any suggestions?
[22:51] <jean_> Odd-rationale : still to small... Trying with gksu displayconfig-gtk
[22:51] <janiel> could someone tell me how to install a desklett
[22:51] <dare> where to report bug
[22:51] <mib_ih7x99> julle_: http://gael.roualland.free.fr/ifstat/ -- does that look useful? I think it's in the repositories, too, but not sure (my ubuntu laptop is kaput)
[22:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> hi what what should i press on my keyboard if the keys shortcut is 0xa1?
[22:52] <mib_ih7x99> james__: gotta love 'em
[22:52] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Your wifi works under Windows, I assume?
[22:52] <DIL> is there a program in ubuntu that can read minds
[22:53] <mib_ih7x99> DIL: you could try office 2003 under wine :-)
[22:53] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: my network does yes, but i've never tried this card with windows
[22:53] <mib_ih7x99> DIL: it tries to read your mind and fails 105% of the time :-)
[22:53] <janiel> o help
[22:53] <DIL> lol
[22:53] <julle_> mib_ih7x99: thanks alot!
[22:53] <Dahita> hey again all
[22:53] <mib_ih7x99> julle_: sure, no problem
[22:53] <Dahita> problem:
[22:53] <nbaleopard> hello
[22:54] <ChrisSugden> Hello, room
[22:54] <Dahita> after fighting all day long I finally made it to install nvid
[22:54] <Dahita> ia drivers
[22:54] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: have you connected to your wifi network under windows before? that is, without using an ethernet cord?
[22:54] <Dahita> problem is I am stuck in 640/480 no matter what
[22:54] <Dahita> and I can t chage it
[22:54] <Dahita> furthermore it s really hard because the desktop is rea
[22:54] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: yes, on my windows computer (which i'm on right now) all i've ever used is my wireless network
[22:55] <rym> What exactly is the tracker search tool for ?
[22:55] <Dahita> lly small and the nvidia window is big
[22:55] <Dahita> anyone has an idea of what s going on?
[22:55] <idefine> rc.local doesn't execute till the user logs in, where else can I put commands, so that they will startup when ubuntu starts up.
[22:55] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: What version of Windows do you have? XP or Vista, or something else?
[22:55] <Starnestommy> rym: the search toolbar
[22:55] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: vista
[22:55] <Dahita> I don t getit because my monitor is recognized
[22:55] <mib_ih7x99> idefine: Look up information about runlevels.
[22:56] <jrib> !startup > idefine (read the private message from ubottu)
[22:56] <jrib> idefine: I'm pretty sure you are wrong about rc.local...
[22:56] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: I've got Vista on my Macbook here and I still haven't figured it out :-)... See if you can find, under vista, what your exact network settings are.
[22:56] <james__> mib_ih7x99 found anything for the traffic monitoring yet?
[22:56] <ChrisSugden> Hello, Room
[22:57] <mib_ih7x99> james__: Ifstat seems to work
[22:57] <james__> nice
[22:57] <rym> Starnestommy, yeah, cause it doesnt really return any search results, no matter what i enter
[22:57] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: WPA (1 or 2)? AES or TKIP?
[22:57] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: If you have the exact correct information from Windows, and it doesn't work under Ubuntu, then we need to figure out how to get your card working.
[22:58] <mib_ih7x99> Any mutt users here? (#mutt is asleep)
[22:58] <BP-64672> hello
[22:58] <Veinor> I just scanned a machine with nmap and found that it's running vnc-http and x11. How do I connect to these?
[22:58] <mib_ih7x99> !hi | BP-64672
[22:58] <BP-64672> Okay, when i first installed postfix it worked fine, i coudl send emails internally and externally. After I restart the computer I could still send internally, but nto externally. This is the error message I got in the postqueue
[22:59] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: security type: WPA-personal, encryption type: TKIP
[22:59] <BP-64672> (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=tpg.com.au type=MX: Host not found, try again)
[22:59] <Veinor> I've tried just going to the machine on the vnc-http port but nothing popped up.
[22:59] <BP-64672> also, when i ran dig tpg.com.au MX it returned nothing
[22:59] <xodiak> janiel: are you still here?
[22:59] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, same as mine. Under Ubuntu, specifically choose TKIP instead of Automatic, and choose `show WPA password' so you can see that it's correctly entered.
[22:59] <james__> ok I've just got to say that Hardy is awesome. Finally my 4965  works (allbeit in G mode) with out dropping all the time
[23:00] <mib_ih7x99> james__: Yep, 804 isn't bad at all--my Lifebook's wifi card and graphics chipset work OOTB
[23:01] <mib_ih7x99> It's a tablet PC, so I can't actually /use/ it, but details details details :-)
[23:01] <james__> mib_ih7x99 it's sad when the wi-fi works better on Ubuntu than it does on Vista
[23:01] <vlad> hi ppl can somebody tell me how can i get realtek sound to work 5.1 sorround?
[23:01] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: did what you said, it still does the same thing
[23:02] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: it just sits there trying to connect and then it asks for my password again
[23:02] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK. Can you open up a terminal window (Alt-F2, gnome-terminal)?
[23:02] <james__> vlad: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[23:02] <vlad> james__: i have hardy heron 8.04
[23:03] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok i'm in a terminal window
[23:03] <james__> can you paste the output of lspci -vv on pastebin
[23:03] <obf213> really, anyone extended desktop, is it possible?
[23:03] <james__> vlad: did you see my last post?
[23:03] <vlad> yeah
[23:03] <vlad> checking
[23:03] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_, james__ -- don't forget lsusb :-)
[23:04] <james__> mib_ih7x99 that's a new one for me
[23:04] <james__> thanks man
[23:04] <mib_ih7x99> james__: No problem. Never know how something's hooked up :-)
[23:04] <AcornAcorn> If i want a new theme, do i need to get a metacity theme?
[23:04] <james__> this is true
[23:04] <james__> vlad: is this a laptop?
[23:04] <vlad> james__:  is a pc
[23:04] <storm-zen>  !dvd
[23:05] <james__> vlad: is this a laptop or desktop?
[23:05] <vlad> james__:  desktop
[23:05] <vlad> that command u gave me shows a lot of stuff
[23:05] <james__> do you see a volume icon in  the main panel?
[23:06] <emma> Okay I'm back.
[23:06] <vlad> yes
[23:06] <james__> vlad, copy it all and pastebin.org
[23:06] <blech_> hey everybody. question: what lines would I add to my menu.lst in order for grub to have another partition as an option (this partition is on another hdd). When I tried, I got error 18: " selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"
[23:06] <james__> vlad, then give me the url
[23:06] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: what do you see after typing `lspci -vv' ?
[23:06] <manoff> how can i set timezone for my ubuntu server?
[23:06] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: hold on one second, i'm trying to transfer it so i can pastebin it now
[23:06] <mib_ih7x99> oh, ok
[23:06] <manoff> !timezone
[23:06] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: You can select it all and then middle-click somewhere else to paste, IIRC
[23:06] <genii> blech_: Use the chainload example for Windows as something to go by
[23:06] <blech_> do I need to have the chainload line, genii?
[23:07] <genii> blech_: For using the entire hd, yes
[23:07] <blech_> genii, okay, thank yo
[23:07] <blech_> u
[23:07] <vlad> james__: http://pastebin.org/38486
[23:07] <james__> mib_ih7x99 does etc/hosts work just like the lmhosts file on windows?
[23:08] <mib_ih7x99> james__: I'm not sure... I think it's a similar syntax
[23:08] <xpistos> Hey Newb here. Is there a current magazine line Tux?
[23:08] <mib_ih7x99> james__: `man hosts' maybe?
[23:08] <victoroth> what do u mean by line tux ?
[23:08] <james__> mib_ih7x99 will do
[23:08] <xpistos> victoroth yes sorry fat fingers
[23:08] <vlad> james__:  did u get the url?
[23:09] <blech_> also, in menu.lst does spacing between command and parens matter?
[23:09] <xpistos> Like Tux magazine
[23:09] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14641/
[23:09] <victoroth> i dont know ... search google
[23:09] <victoroth> :)
[23:09] <StuckMojo> hey what was the page with the known bugs / problems in the hardy beta?
[23:09] <james__> vlad, yes
[23:09] <StuckMojo> it had something about broadcom wireless chipsets
[23:09] <vlad> oki
[23:09] <StuckMojo> mine still ain't workin
[23:09] <keanu> how can i adjust window transparency via a keyboard binding?
[23:09] <james__> looking
[23:10] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Looks like the magic word for your wireless chipset is `07d1:3a08' :-)
[23:10] <sc00b> org
[23:11] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: You have one of these things? http://www.spy-hill.com/help/wifi/WUA-2340.html
[23:11] <james__> vlad, please sudo lspci and pastebin
[23:11] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: yes
[23:11] <mib_ih7x99> OK. Have you done anything to make it work, blizzardman1219_?
[23:11] <xpistos> Anyone ready any other magazines online or otherwise other than Linux magazine?
[23:11] <xpistos> Anyone read any other magazines online or otherwise other than Linux magazine?
[23:11] <tinin> how do I install cvs?
[23:11] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: I mean, installing drivers or anything like that
[23:12] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: i have the driver successfully working, so that's no problem. i can connect to non-encrypted networks without an issue but the problem is that my network is encrypted
[23:12] <mib_ih7x99> OK, sorry for misunderstanding :-)
[23:12] <victoroth> xpistos i read Servo magazine it is about programming robot's
[23:12] <DIL> Linux Journal?
[23:12] <janiel> am still here
[23:13] <Mahr_Afk> tinin, sudo apt-get install cvs
[23:13] <vlad> james__: http://pastebin.org/38488
[23:13] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Did you use NDISwrapper?
[23:13] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: yes
[23:14] <axisys> looks like turning off roaming did not fix my issue
[23:14] <tinin> Mahr_Afk, thanx, I thought it was more complicated ;)
[23:14] <DIL> !cvs
[23:14] <axisys> it dropped connection again
[23:14] <james__> vlad, audio chip appears to be azalia
[23:14] <james__> please hold
[23:14] <axisys> my wireless connection is still buggy and I am using ipw2200
[23:15] <Mahr_Afk> tinin, Anytime hehe :)
[23:15] <gwern> so I've been trying to figure out, where exactly does one set boot services (for scripts in init.d/ and so on)?
[23:16] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, so I'm guessing that the problem is driverish. wpasupplicant is just a harder way of doing what NetworkManager will do for you, so I think the issue is with the driver.
[23:16] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok... so what exactly can i do?
[23:17] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: I'm searching for information about your specific card... just a min
[23:17] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: this page, <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340?highlight=(wua-2340)>, keeps showing up. Is that where you got setup information from?
[23:18] <Billenium> Are there any articles for how to split up a hard drive between /usr, /var, /home, /boot, /opt, / ... etc?
[23:18] <Billenium> Or like, /usr needs around xGB to function etc...
[23:19] <pawan> hi
[23:19] <james__> vlad,  sudo modprobe -c | grep hda (pastebin
[23:19] <gwern> Billenium: not really. but the rule of thumb I've always used is '/boot needs no more than 50mb or so; /home should get about 90% of space, and put everything else in / in what's left over from swap
[23:19] <pawan> unable to install nvidia 5200 drivers
[23:19] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: no, i was familiar with the ndiswrapper from a previous attempt so i was able to set it up myself. i did see that page already though and it i noticed that the links were broken
[23:20] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: yeah, that's quite helpful, isn't it :-)
[23:20] <Billenium> okay thanks gwern :)
[23:20] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Can you paste the output of `sudo iwconfig'?
[23:20] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: sure, just give me a sec
[23:20] <gwern> Billenium: for example, on my 500gb drive, I'd partition like this: /dev/sda1 = boot = 30mb; /dev/sda2 = swap = 1gb; /dev/sda3 = / = 10gb; /dev/sda4 = /home = 489gb
[23:20] <tarelerulz> I got beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 and now I can't update Meta-index file for couple repositories .  What do I do ?
[23:20] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: You might also find something useful with `sudo dmesg | grep ndis'
[23:20] <SeaPhor> pawan, you shoudn't need them, the restricted drivers work great gor me
[23:21] <james__> vlad, also, what the model of your mother board
[23:21] <pawan> alaways runs in low graphics mode
[23:21] <saotome> trying to use ddclient to forward my IP address to dyndns.com. ddclient is forwarding my LAN address, so basically it doesn't work from the outside. Please help!
[23:21] <gwern> this is annoying; so system-administration-services does seem to cover a bunch of boot services, but it omits all the ones I want to enable
[23:21] <SeaPhor> do you have restricted drivers enabled pawan ?
[23:21] <zvacet> tarelerulz : updadte it and you should be fine
[23:21] <pawan> no
[23:22] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: I've actually had this same problem. You're going to want to curl or wget the output of some IP-address-revealing site and send that to your ddclient application.
[23:22] <pawan> it is not showing my card there
[23:22] <SeaPhor> try that, see what you  think
[23:22] <ariqs> I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need.  I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up?
[23:22] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: This command will give you your external IP address.
[23:22] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14644/
[23:22] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: curl -sf http://checkip.dyndns.org/|cut -d ':' -f 2|cut -d '<' -f1|sed -e 's/ //g'
[23:22] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, my ISP gives me a dynamic IP address, which is the whole point of using ddclient. If i give it my IP address, then wont it just stop working the next time the address refreshes?
[23:23] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: thanks, just a minute
[23:23] <vlad> james__: http://pastebin.org/38490 and mobo gigabyte  GA-MA770-DS3
[23:23] <james__> mib_ih7x99, i love curling
[23:23] <saotome> oh I see...
[23:23] <pawan> should i install it manually
[23:23] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: What I do is run a script that checks my external IP address (that script is courtesy of Quicksilver) every /n/ minutes, and updates my DNS server accordingly.
[23:24] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: I used EveryDNS (I think) but the process is basically the same.
[23:24] <ariqs> I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need.  I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up?
[23:24] <Condoulo> what is a good twitter client for Ubuntu
[23:24] <kappaccino> loltwitter
[23:24] <pawan> how to know which card i have
[23:24] <SeaPhor> pawan, i didnt have to, i have a 5200, a 6100 go, a 7300, an 8600 and a 8800 all with no issues as long as i use the restricted drivers??
[23:24] <fluffles> hi all. is there any known fix for the Compiz memory leaks yet? After a few days it gets to ~500MB and keeps going, rendering my ubuntu pc very slow
[23:24] <Ashfire908> Could someone recommend a good HTML/CSS editing/Web Page designer (that is GTK/GNOME based)?
[23:24] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, doesn't look like iwconfig turned up anything useful. Does `sudo dmesg | grep ndis' show you anything?
[23:24] <homeuser> hello people
[23:25] <james__> vlad, it appears that azalia audio is a joint effort for HD Audio standards from Intel and a few others, the issue is that the intel module may not work... I'm researching this further
[23:25] <homeuser> how do I determine my currect screen resolution?
[23:25] <james__> vlad, this is odd as you seem to have an AMD platform
[23:25] <fluffles> homeuser, count the pixels :)
[23:25] <mib_ih7x99> fluffles: No! Use a ruler! :-)
[23:26] <fluffles> mib_ih7x99, then you'd have to know the DPI :p
[23:26] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14646/
[23:26] <pawan> why it is not showing my card in restricted drivres
[23:26] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, first of all, many thanks for you help. Second: two questions. One, that curl command didn't work, I'm getting an error. Other question: How do I tell ddclient to execute that script?
[23:26] <mib_ih7x99> fluffles: True, that...
[23:26] <vlad> james__: yes man amd, so its like a bug or smth?
[23:26] <Mahr_Afk> homeuser, go to System\Preferences and start "Screen Resolution" and Check what it says.
[23:26] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, lemme have a look. saotome, just a minute
[23:26] <homeuser> well, currently in Display Preferences it is set to Default. I like this resolution however the refresh rate is set to something that makes the screen flicker a lot especially when watching from peripheral vision
[23:26] <homeuser> Mahr_Afk: ok checking. :)
[23:26] <fluffles> Mahr_Afk, that does not give the correct current resolution for me
[23:27] <pawan> it says no properitey drivers are enabled in this system
[23:27] <saotome> mib_ih7x99 thanks
[23:27] <fluffles> my monitor is always correct, though
[23:27] <Nitricacid> xx
[23:27] <ariqs> I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need.  I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up?
[23:27] <james__> vlad, not a bug per say, but it may actually be and INTEL driver or and ATI driver that you need... not sure yet
[23:27] <SeaPhor> pawan, is there anything that says "Enable" ? anywhere?
[23:27] <homeuser> Mahr_Afk: I'm using xfce. I only see Applications > settings > settings manager.
[23:28] <pawan> no
[23:28] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Well, it looks like it should work. Do you have anything like MAC Address Filtering that could interfere?
[23:28] <vlad> james__:  oic

[23:28] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: i have no idea. how would i check that?
[23:28] <Mahr_Afk> homeuser, oh, then I'm not sure. Maby you could ask around in #Xubuntu?
[23:28] <homeuser> Under there I"m using DIsplay Preferences. Which si the Screen resolution app under GNOME, I think.
[23:28] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: It's something you'd turn on yourself (security options on your router)

[23:28] <Mahr_Afk> homeuser, you're welcome. Hope you'll sort it out m8
[23:28] <compengi> hardy didn't detect my nvidia card automatically. the xorg.conf file was http://paste.ubuntu.com/14645/ so i loaded gutsy on which my card was working and detected perfectly copied the content of xorg.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/14648/ and pasted it in the live cd session before installing. after installing hardy + restricted drivers, after each reboot i have to "ctrl+alt+backspace" to be able to have a high resolution why?
[23:29] <SeaPhor> pawan, did you get the linux drivers from nvidia website download?
[23:29] <Novato81> Hello everybody
[23:29] <pawan> yes
[23:29] <Aranel> after installing ubuntu-desktop to my Kubuntu, my opengl is messed up, glxinfo says Error: glXCreateContent Failed and glxgears doesnt work. how can I reinstall opengl ?
[23:29] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Is `curl' installed on your system? If it isn't, `sudo apt-get install curl
[23:29] <mib_ih7x99> '
[23:29] <james__> vlad, and here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
[23:29] <boy_chn> hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back??
[23:29] <vlad> james__: man my sounds works but just 2.1 even if the sound is 5.1
[23:29] <SeaPhor> pawan, and that wont install either?
[23:30] <pawan> no
[23:30] <saotome> mib_ih7x99 it is installed
[23:30] <zvacet> boy_chn : try t oreinstall grub and see if that helps
[23:30] <james__> vlad, then you may have a generic driver that doesn't support 5.1
[23:30] <vlad> o
[23:30] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: What error do you get whan you run that command?
[23:30] <saotome> it's an error executing the command, not complaining about the absence of the command
[23:30] <boy_chn> zvacet: how to do that???
[23:30] <pawan> should i use nvidia-glx manually
[23:30] <james__> vlad, or you may need additional modules
[23:30] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: everything i've read seems to point me toward wpa_supplicant or wpagui
[23:30] <vlad> james__:  its a driver i just download from synaptic
[23:30] <boy_chn> zvacet: through synaptic???
[23:30] <SeaPhor> if you know how, but i would look at your lspci first
[23:31] <SeaPhor> if you know how, but i would look at your lspci first pawan
[23:31] <boy_chn> zvacet: I have already reinstall this package. But the folder still doesn't appear
[23:31] <Novato81> Can someone help me to conect Ubuntu 8.04 to my home network?, please
[23:31] <boy_chn> hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back??
[23:31] <zvacet>   boy_chn :      http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=reinstall+grub
[23:31] <james__> vlad, please search over the alsa website to verify you have the right modules
[23:31] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: my only problem with those, is that i finally got wpagui installed, but when i click scan nothing happens and it says something about being unable to do something with wpa_supplicant
[23:31] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: wpasupplicant is a command-line application which you would use to connect to a WPA network manually. Let's give it a shot so we can see if NetworkManager is messed up.
[23:31] <vlad> those are exactly what i have
[23:32] <GottaBeAndrew> i want to start a script on start up. what folder do i put it in to make it do that?
[23:32] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Don't know anything about wpagui.
[23:32] <saotome> mib_ih7x99 it sorta says "command not found" (this is installed in spanish), but I checked and I have curl, cut and sed
[23:32] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok lets try wpa_supplicant. thanks for your help btw! its greatly appreciated
[23:32] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Would you mind pasting the output of that command to paste.ubuntu.com?
[23:32] <vlad> james__:  yes man this are exactly the dirvers i have
[23:32] <zvacet>  boy_chn: or maybe this  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD
[23:32] <saotome> mib_ih7x99 it's in spanish, are you sure?
[23:32] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Sure, no problem--might as well help out while I wait for someone who knows how to work Mutt to show up :-)
[23:32] <tarelerulz> zvacet, I have been updating  It still says my  data base on couple repositories is out of date. It tells me which one . Some one told me to take the us  out of repositories name . That made the list small ,but I still out some out of day. It has been 32 days . I am lost what do do
[23:33] <vlad> james__:  version 16
[23:33] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Well, I don't speak Spanish but I might be able to recognize something
[23:33] <saotome> GottaBeAndrew make a link to the script you want to execute and place it under /etc/rc2.d. Make sure the name starts with S99
[23:33] <james__> vlad, the more I think about this, the more I wonder if you need the development modules from the backports repos
[23:34] <Skedar> Hi.
[23:34] <mib_ih7x99> !hi | Skedar
[23:34] <james__> vlad, there may also be an additional Gui to enable 5.1
[23:34] <zvacet> tarelerulz :system>admin>software sources> check all under Ubuntu software and updates tab Reload
[23:34] <Skedar> How can I install new cursors?
[23:34] <vlad> james__:  im noob :)
[23:34] <james__> mib_ih7x99, do you know what the url is for hard back ports
[23:35] <pawan> how to looj for card using lspci
[23:35] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: where do i start with wpa_supplicant?
[23:35] <james__> vlad, imma ask mib
[23:35] <saotome> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14650/
[23:35] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Is wpa_supplicant installed? Type in `wpa_passphrase' and see if you get an error.
[23:35] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: ok, just a minute.
[23:35] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: yes it is installed
[23:35] <mib_ih7x99> james__: No, but I can look it up if you give me a minute.
[23:35] <james__> thanks man
[23:36] <pawan> !lspci
[23:36] <mib_ih7x99> james__: no problem. blizzardman1219_: hit Ctrl-C so you end up at the prompt again.
[23:36] <Skedar> Can someone please tell me how I can install new cursors.
[23:36] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok
[23:36] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: run `wpa_passphrase YourNetworkSSID'
[23:36] <james__> vlad, keep in mind that if we add the backports, (experimental) you're on your own if it doesn't work
[23:36] <tarelerulz> I still get the same error when I try to update . I get  this Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[23:36] <SeaPhor> pawan, can you copy and paste that lspci output on pastbin ? and here's a tip for you and all Please type the nick of the person you're talking to, it can get difficult to follow someone you're trying to help :-)
[23:37] <vlad> james__:  im downloading the ones from that alsa page mines said after the numbers -generic
[23:37] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Then type in your WPA passphrase, hit Enter, and see what happens.
[23:37] <Skedar> Can someone please help me.
[23:37] <saotome> skedar, what's up?
[23:37] <james__> vlad, basically, the backports would allow you to install the experimental version of the Azalia driver via synaptic, likely the generic ones don't work
[23:37] <Skedar> Hey saotome, how can I install new cursors?
[23:37] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Well, the problem is pretty simple--you typed in `saotome: ' :-)
[23:38] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: it lists what appears to be some sort of proper syntax with my PSK in hexadecimal form
[23:38] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, great.
[23:38] <saotome> mib_ih7x99 I did? I'm such a retard!
[23:38] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: You should see me on a bad day :-P
[23:38] <zvacet> tarelerulz cat etc/apt/sources.list
[23:38] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Hit Alt-F2, and type in `gksudo gedit /etc/wpasupplicant.conf'
[23:38] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, ok, now for the important question, how do I make ddclient run this and update it to dyndns.com?
[23:38] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: make that: Hit Alt-F2, and type in `gksudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
[23:38] <saotome> skedar, we are talking about the little graphic that tells you where your mouse is pointing?
[23:39] <SeaPhor> pawan, here's how mine starts,,, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller:
[23:39] <vlad> james__:  im installing the drivers from the page, can u tell me what else i need from there?
[23:39] <Skedar> Yes saotome.
[23:39] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: I've never used ddclient specifically; can you direct me to a man page? (or paste the output of ddclient --help)
[23:39] <pawan> ok
[23:39] <pawan> whats the command
[23:39] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok done
[23:39] <SeaPhor> lspci      pawan
[23:39] <james__> vlad, that's just it, you need different drivers entirely. How much work are you willing to do to get HD 5.1 working vs 2.1?
[23:40] <mib_ih7x99> james__: What backports did you need?
[23:40] <woli> does anybody know if there is a pictogram maker??
[23:40] <mib_ih7x99> james__: Try this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[23:40] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: You should be in a text editor looking at a config file. Is anything in there?
[23:40] <vlad> james__:  i see too many movies that are in 5.1
[23:40] <james__> mib_ih7x99, thanks

[23:40] <zvacet> tarelerulz : or tryy to put # sign in front of  line which start with deb cdrom
[23:41] <tarelerulz> zvacet, I did cat /etc/soure.list and you want me to post it ?
[23:41] <saotome> skedar, basically you download the theme file, then by going to system --> preferences --> theme, you open the cursor theme file, and that app will install it for you.
[23:41] <pawan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14653/
[23:41] <zvacet> tarelerulz :yes or try above post and send you
[23:41] <SeaPhor> pawan, looking
[23:41] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, ok, that's fine, how did you do it?
[23:41] <Skedar> I know how to install cursors, I just needed the app for it.
[23:41] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Can you paste the contents of your file, with the sensitive bits erased? So if it says `psk=skdjksjdksdjskdj' change it to `psk='
[23:41] <james__> vlad, see mib_ih7x99  post for backports info
[23:42] <Skedar> Thanks a lot for helping saotome!
[23:42] <AcornAcorn> does ubuntu not use metacity anymore?
[23:42] <james__> vlad, you need deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[23:42] <compengi> hello Pici
[23:42] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: sure just give me a sec :D
[23:42] <james__> vlad, add this to your repos
[23:42] <SeaPhor> pawan, here it is   line 15   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[23:42] <mib_ih7x99> AcornAcorn: I think Compiz is the new window manager, but I'm not sure.
[23:42] <AcornAcorn> does that mean i can't download metacity themes?
[23:42] <nub> could someone tell me what's wrong with my menu.lst? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14654/
[23:42] <pawan> then
[23:43] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: If you can give me the syntax for ddclient I can give you a one-liner that'll update your IP.
[23:43] <Ashfire908> Is there an IPv6 package server/mirror?
[23:43] <saotome> skedar, no prob
[23:43] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Then you can put it in a shell script and add it to your crontab (if Ubuntu still uses cron :-))
[23:43] <francisco_> Hi, is there a cool video editor that runs in Xubuntu?
[23:43] <SeaPhor> pawan, but you are saying it only works in low graphics,,, has it done that since begging of Ubuntu install?
[23:43] <Steve-cal> nub: What exactly are the symptoms/problem with your Grub menu.lst?
[23:43] <pawan> yes
[23:43] <AcornAcorn> how do i get new themes for ubuntu?
[23:44] <SeaPhor> pawan, *beginning
[23:44] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14656/
[23:44] <nub> I can't load one of the partitions
[23:44] <boy_chn> hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back??
[23:44] <vlad> james__:  how to add this?
[23:44] <Steve-cal> nub: And which one?
[23:44] <nub> I was getting cylinder excceds maximum supported by bios errors
[23:44] <nub> (18)
[23:44] <zvacet>   AcornAcorn :   http://art.gnome.org/
[23:44] <oldcpu> !themes
[23:44] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, but the whole point is that this runs as a deamon. So I guess I will have to make my own script that invokes ddclient as a stand-alone/run-once process? And that will be the new daemon?
[23:44] <nub> until I added the same lines that were under windows
[23:44] <SeaPhor> pawan, and you installed 8.04 or did you upgrade from 7.10?
[23:44] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14657/
[23:44] <nub> Steve-cal: the gen partition
[23:44] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: Looks like that's an incomplete manpage. Can you give me the output of `ddclient -help'?
[23:45] <Steve-cal> nub: Which OS is the problem one?
[23:45] <saotome> sure
[23:45] <francisco_> How can i install Cinelerra from CV ?
[23:45] <pawan> upgrade from 7.10
[23:45] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: We can set it up as a daemon
[23:45] <tarelerulz> here is my source.list files for synaptic http://paste.ubuntu.com/14655/
[23:45] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, looking it over
[23:45] <nub> Steve-cal: trying to load gentoo. that's the problem one
[23:45] <vlad> james__:  just make make install them?
[23:46] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14658/
[23:46] <SeaPhor> pawan, upgrade through the update manager or from a disk?
[23:46] <compengi> Helo PriceChild

[23:47] <jsoftw> Anyone know how to get evolution to read those outlook vcalendar emails?
[23:47] <m13> .
[23:47] <pawan> now
[23:47] <Steve-cal> nub: Have you tried the same syntax as the Ubuntu partitions (i.e. standard linux OS)? Use "initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" syntax, but look on your Gentoo partition and find the right initrd.img
[23:48] <zvacet> tarelerulz :remove word web in every line where it comes at the end  save ans close file   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:48] <AcornAcorn> can metacity themes be used in hardy? seeing as compiz is now used..
[23:48] <SeaPhor> pawan, wow,,, that is odd but then again i was just using the restricted in 7.10 as well, gotta be a way to update restricted drivers,,, but bottom line is you have to get rid of the drivers you have,,,
[23:48] <nub> Steve-cal: I did run it with the same syntax as the ubuntu partitions before, except for the initrd. I do not see one in the gentoo partition
[23:48] <vlad> james__: u there?
[23:49] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14660/ should get you started
[23:49] <SeaPhor> pawan, i this for someone last night, different problem but maybe same resolution,,, do you have a 8,04 live cd?
[23:49] <nub> Steve-cal: though I do see an initramfs
[23:49] <Steve-cal> nub: Exactly--you need to add it. Look in your /boot directory of the Gentoo partition for the initrd.img-xxxxxx file and use that.
[23:49] <saotome> mib_ih7x99, THANKS! This solves a very big problem I have.
[23:49] <mib_ih7x99> you can add in your options, save that as a file somewhere, chmod +x it
[23:50] <pawan> no
[23:50] <Yachaziel> How do I format a removable flash drive?
[23:50] <mib_ih7x99> saotome: sure, no problem. you can add it to root's cron (`sudo crontab -e', google for details)
[23:50] <exco> I'm getting ready to pull my hair out ...
[23:50] <jrib> Yachaziel: you can use gparted
[23:50] <strk> alsa problems, is this normal ? grep CONFIG_SND /boot/config-`uname -r`
[23:50] <strk> # CONFIG_SND is not set
[23:50] <Yachaziel> jrib: Is there a way just from Terminal?
[23:50] <Broadcom> bazhang: you there
[23:50] <kaiden> where does one begin at unraveling the mystery that is ubuntu 8.04's absolutely crappy internet speeds (when on a wired connection)
[23:50] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: ok, let's have a look at your wpa_supplicant.conf. for reference, here's a manpage: http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf
[23:50] <strk> alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory
[23:50] <kaiden> i have found lots of pages discussing wireless connection speed problems and they mention wired as well but never offer any insight into them
[23:51] <jsoftw> kaiden: perhaps starting from this so called 'wired connection' ?
[23:51] <jrib> Yachaziel: mkfs
[23:51] <SeaPhor> pawan, copy to pastebin the result of    gksudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[23:51] <jsoftw> kaiden: perhaps your internet connection is just shit.
[23:51] <exco> what if the settings Ati "Catalyst Control Center" detects for my external monitor are total bogus?
[23:51] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok
[23:51] <Broadcom> kaiden: all of them are proprietary drivers, therefore hard to use with open source
[23:51] <jsoftw> kaiden: I would be suprised if its ubuntus fault
[23:51] <Yachaziel> jrib: So like (sudo) mkfs /media/<name> ?
[23:51] <nub> Steve-cal: it's an initramfs. do I enter the line initrd  /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.23-gentoo-r8
[23:52] <kaiden> jsoftw, that's why there are so many people fussing about it on the ubuntu forums, and why it runs absolutely fine in vista :P
[23:52] <Steve-cal> jsoftw: cat /foul/language > /dev/null please
[23:52] <ubuntuROX> I have a problem, yesterday update manager installed a wine update and something called winbind.  Today I cannot browse my network in Places Network...   Shows windows network but there is nothing there?  does anyone have any ideas?
[23:52] <nub> or should the line be initramfs /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.23-gentoo-r8
[23:52] <jsoftw> kaiden: are you talking about normal internet use?
[23:52] <nub> Steve-cal: and should I keep the three lines 28-30?
[23:52] <kaiden> yes, typical speeds in windows i get 800+k/s in ubuntu from the same urls i am lucky to get 20-40k/s
[23:52] <jrib> Yachaziel: see 'man mkfs'.  I believe you need to pass /dev/whatever
[23:52] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: OK, your wpa_supp.conf file is fine.
[23:53] <Roey> hi
[23:53] <Broadcom> kaiden, jsoftw, be nice
[23:53] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Let me look up the exact command you need to run for use with ndiswrapper
[23:53] <Yachaziel> jrib: Ok, thanks.
[23:53] <W8TAH> what do i need to restart to get my sound back?
[23:53] <Broadcom> !hi | Roey
[23:53] <jwormy__> meh; anyone know what setting on a VPN client would cause only servers on the network i'm VPN'ing into to resolve, and none other (www.google.com, etc)
[23:53] <ubuntuROX> I have searched the forums and cannot find anything that seems to apply
[23:53] <jsoftw> damn its so pansy in here.
[23:53] <mib_ih7x99> Broadcom: It's YOUR fault my internet doesn't work right! :-P
[23:53] <Roey> I hey Broadcom ;)
[23:53] <Roey> er
[23:53] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok thanks
[23:53] <Yachaziel> Is there a way to switch my calender? For example, if I wanted to use the Hebrew calender in place of a Gregorian calender?
[23:53] <Broadcom> mib_ih7x99: i can help you with it
[23:53] <Broadcom> hey Roey
[23:54] <jsoftw> kaiden: is it like a built in modem or something like that?
[23:54] <mib_ih7x99> Broadcom: Nah, just teasing :-)
[23:54] <jsoftw> kaiden: or what?
[23:54] <mikeb55> I have a dell 830, with quadro nvidia,defautl install doesn't allow me to output to a monitor, it just doesn't give me any suitable res, anyone have an idea if I should install nvidia drivers?
[23:54] <jsoftw> because if its just some router that your ubuntu box uses to access the net, then its highly unlikely that ubuntu is to blame for 'slow interweb
[23:54] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: For reference, another manpage: http://linux.die.net/man/8/wpa_supplicant
[23:54] <vlad> james__: hey man still here?
[23:55] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: i've seen that page... it made no sense to me lol
[23:55] <Steve-cal> nub: No, you definitely need to get rid of lines 28-30, but I'm not sure of the syntax you should use with a initramfs file. You may have to consult the online grub manual. Sorry I can't help there.
[23:55] <Roey> Broadcom:  do you use KVM at all?
[23:55] <ubuntuROX> Is anyone else running ubuntu on a mixed network with samba?
[23:55] <Roey> Broadcom:  I asked in #kvm, but the folks there seem comatose.
[23:55] <nub> Steve-cal: okay, thank you
[23:55] <Roey> Broadcom:  I want to be ablke to play sound on the host and guest at the same time
[23:55] <kaiden> jsoftw, it's an onboard NIC yes, but it's using the typical chips that are used in pretty much every nic on the planet
[23:55] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Try running this command and pasting its output. `sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan1 -d'
[23:55] <Broadcom> Roey: never heard of it, but who named it?
[23:55] <jsoftw> kaiden: right, so _how_ is it slow?
[23:55] <Roey> Broadcom:  I don't know if my KVM is using ALSA or not.
[23:55] <Roey> Broadcom:  it's the kernel's own qemu.
[23:56] <xodiak> okay. I've been putting  this off, but I'm ready to deal with it. Need some networking help.
[23:56] <jsoftw> kaiden: and _how_ exactly are you connected to the interwebs?
[23:56] <Broadcom> Roey: can't hep you, sorry
[23:56] <Yachaziel> xodiak: What's up?
[23:56] <Broadcom> xodiak: what specificly?
[23:56] <boy_chn> hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back??
[23:56] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: ok one sec
[23:56] <Roey> Broadcom:  thanks anyway
[23:56] <xodiak> well, I have my Vista laptop running most of the time and my Ubuntu desktop. Would like them to be able to see each other, share files, etc.
[23:56] <W8TAH> folks -- hate to be a pain but this is kinda urgent - -i need to restart my audio daemon on hardy - -it would be far better if i dont have to reboot or restart x -- can someone help please?
[23:57] <clifford> can i control the keystrokes in such a way as to assimilate ctrl+key by pressing ctrl ctrl key?  (I've trapped a nerve and don't have control of half of my left hand)  (word of the day: 'control' - ironically is my case  lol)
[23:57] <xodiak> Yachziel, Broadcom: well, I have my Vista laptop running most of the time and my Ubuntu desktop. Would like them to be able to see each other, share files, etc.
[23:57] <Broadcom> !samba | xodiak
[23:57] <kaiden> jsoftw, pretty sure i already stated that :P, typical speeds using synaptics is horrid 20-30k/s from the same urls in other distro's i can easily reach 500-600k/s, and just basic loading of websites is really slow as well... and doing some basic diagnostics on it, the slow down exists after the first byte is thrown so it's not in the socket creation / dns time / etc...
[23:57] <mikeb55> I have a dell 830, with quadro nvidia,defautl install doesn't allow me to output to a monitor, it just doesn't give me any suitable res, anyone have an idea if I should install nvidia drivers?
[23:57] <Steve-cal> nub: Try joining #gentoo and ask there for someone to share their menu.lst with you--then you can get the right syntax.
[23:57] <Broadcom> kaiden: do lspci and put the reslut in pastebin
[23:57] <xodiak> Broadcom: I will check out those links but I do have Samba running.... Just don't know how to use it I guess.
[23:57] <jsoftw> kaiden: no I mean what kind of connection.. that you have a nic does not explain much
[23:58] <nub> Steve-cal: will do
[23:58] <TheManicKY> Anyone know of a console program that does nothing but list my twitter feed? I have a spare terminal I'd like to use to scroll by all my recent tweets as they come in
[23:58] <blizzardman1219_> mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14661/
[23:58] <ecker> how do i take a screenshot of my gdm theme?
[23:58] <pawan> ok
[23:59] <zvacet>  see you tomorrow
[23:59] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Let's try another level of debugging information. Can you paste this: `sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan1 -dd'
[23:59] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: Two d's instead of one.
[23:59] <io__> Got a question.....  Is it possible to designate certain programs that don't require sudo to run.  I have a few I like to be able to run without sudo priveleges....
[23:59] <mib_ih7x99> blizzardman1219_: If I understand it, wpasupp is having trouble with your SSID.
[23:59] <Flannel> io__: You'd edit sudoers to do that
[23:59] <mib_ih7x99> io__: visudo
