[10:31] <eck> for example, today i had to compile screen because the version packaged with ubuntu was not compiled with a configure option i needed
[10:31] <buddy7999> ah
[10:31] <buddy7999> do you know how i can find the command line associated with my desktop icons?
[10:31] <gharz> guys. i'm planning to install beryl on my machine (using intel graphics driver i810). when i modified my xorg.conf and added Load "dbe" and then restart gdm... it doens't work. the system hangs. anybody have an idea?
[10:32] <gharz> please helpo
[10:32] <buddy7999> like the synonymous command it would run in terminal?
[10:32] <eck> buddy7999: the desktop icons are painted by nautilus
[10:32] <eck> oh, i misunderstood your question
[10:32] <eck> i think you can right click them to see
[10:32] <eck> gharz: do you know how to switch to a VT?
[10:32] <eck> gharz: try switching out iwth ctrl-alt-f1
[10:32] <eck> gharz: then you can edit your xorg.conf and fix it
[10:33] <buddy7999> ah strange, for some reason if they're on the taskbar they dont show the 'properties' optoin
[10:33] <buddy7999> but when they're on the desktop they do...
[10:33] <eck> george: the error was with installing grub?
[10:33] <george> grub or Additional Software
[10:33] <george> I didn't try Lilo
[10:34] <eck> george: well if the main portion of the install completed you can do the grub part by hand
[10:34] <eck> george: you can switch to another vt (i think number 2) and run something like grub-install /dev/hda
[10:34] <gharz> eck: let me just check.
[10:35] <Rasiote> or try apt-get install grub
[10:35] <eck> george: can you fix this if the grub install gets borked?
[10:35] <george> i would use /dev/hda3 for the 3rd scsi drive?
[10:35] <Rasiote> it should fix problem
[10:35] <eck> Rasiote: this is in the installer
[10:35] <george> I have an acronis image of my windows install on a seperate hard drive if the mbr gets fucked
[10:36] <eck> george: ok, i will try to walk you through doing it manually
[10:36] <eck> switch to a VT and run mount and see where the install target is mounted
[10:36] <innu> Feisty - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=374201 mysql error or smth. maybe someone can tell me how to fix it
[10:36] <eck> i think it is something like /mnt/target
[10:36] <buddy7999> what are the keyshortcuts for logging out?
[10:36] <buddy7999> ctrl alt backspace, are there others?
[10:37] <Rasiote> ctrl backspace
[10:37] <buddy7999> because i keep getting logged out when i type in termal
[10:37] <eck> buddy7999: ctrl alt backspace restarts X, it doesn't really do a clean logout
[10:37] <buddy7999> ah
[10:37] <ALL4N> what are the common practices for synchronizing files between laptop and desktop?
[10:37] <eck> buddy7999: you should only use it if X is broken or you are not logged in
[10:37] <julien_> how i can see whick process is running ?
[10:37] <buddy7999> are there other exit key strokes?
[10:37] <george> pretty sure it was /dev/hda3 but i'll use mount to check
[10:37] <SnrWhippy> yeah that would be useful
[10:37] <eck> ALL4N: is this just syncrhonizing email or what?
[10:38] <SnrWhippy> especially for me the man with no shutdown
[10:38] <SnrWhippy> graphical shutdown
[10:38] <eck> george: you need to see where the installer has mounted /dev/hda3
[10:38] <ALL4N> eck: synchronising files, such as documents/pictures
[10:38] <eck> ALL4N: i would just go with rsync
[10:38] <eck> ALL4N: or maybe put them on a server and use nfs
[10:38] <ALL4N> eck: hmm.. the problem is that rsync is not two-way
[10:39] <eck> ALL4N: you run it twice then
[10:39] <eck> swapping the src and dest
[10:39] <george> brb going to break out of my work laptop and get on IRC on that.. i appriciate the help eck
[10:39] <ALL4N> eck: problem with server is that it requires the laptop to be on network to use those files
[10:39] <NTNP> salut tlm
[10:40] <eck> ALL4N: it will be sort of a pain, but i don't really know of a great solution
[10:40] <eck> ALL4N: also, cvs/svn/whatever is an option
[10:41] <ALL4N> eck: I think there might be some issues with runnning rsync twice, if you delete files on one of the machines..  besides, I want it to be automatic, so I don't have to run script all the time. I have been thinking about making a script that checks for the presence of the laptop on the network every 5 minutes or so and then syncrhonise if it does.. but I am still in doubt about two-way sync with rsync
[10:42] <eck> ALL4N: it is possible to do two way rsync, but it is sort of complicated because there are a a few weird corner cases to work out
[10:42] <eck> it is much easier with a master/slave setup
[10:43] <eck> you can also set up something like subversion and have each client committing files to the svn server
[10:43] <ALL4N> eck: yeah, thats my concern.. the reason I need it to be automatic is because the laptop is my wive's, and she is running windows on it, so it needs to be automatic
[10:43] <eck> and when you want to sync up you just check out from svn
[10:43] <Flannel> eck: the only issue with SVN for normal data like that is that it'll end up taking twice as much space
[10:44] <ALL4N> eck: particularly for pictures.. because I use my digital cam, and she has cam on her phone, so both of us would add pictures every once in a while, on both systems
[10:45] <ALL4N> I think ifolder is a really good solution for this though, but I can't build it.. besides I'm running xfce, and I don't think it integrates with Thunar
[10:45] <ALL4N> only nautilus  :(
[10:46] <eck> ALL4N: i think without a third computer you are going to have to hack together a solution with shell scripts
[10:46] <gharz> eck: i found the problem with xorg.conf... Load "dbe" and Serverlayout option "aiglx" true cause the problem.
[10:46] <Matic`Makovec> Hey, where can I find screensaver settings?
[10:47] <ALL4N> eck: hmm, was afraid that would be the case, its a shame though that there are no good solutions for this, soo many ppl have primary/secondary computers these days
[10:47] <ALL4N> where they do on and off the wireless network all the time, so file-servers are really not the solution
[10:47] <eck> ALL4N: is ifolder a webdav solution?
[10:48] <gharz> does anybody have an idea what Load "dbe" suppose to do in xorg.conf? i'm planning to install Aiglx and beryl. Load "dbe" causes a problem with my x window.
[10:48] <eck> gharz: i believe it is actually turned on by default
[10:48] <ALL4N> eck: not sure, its a server/client solution from novell. You build a server, and then your clients all synchronise to this every once in a while. its open source, but there are no packages for ubuntu at this time..
[10:49] <eck> ALL4N: ok, well if it is what i think it is, it is a lot like using cvs/svn
[10:49] <gharz> eck: and how about the Section "Serverlayout" Option "AIGLX" "True" EndSection also cause the problem to hang.
[10:49] <eck> with a simplified interface because you don't really care about changes
[10:49] <ALL4N> eck: not really, because the synchronisation is totally automatic
[10:49] <gharz> i tried adding these lines separately just to test the xorg if what happens if these lines are not included.
[10:49] <cable_guy> hi
[10:50] <ALL4N> eck: what you do is to set up a folder on server using a config tool, and then point this folder to a local folder.. everything you drop in local folder is automatically synced with that folder on server
[10:50] <cable_guy> has anyone had any success in getting eye candy desktop effects to work in feisty 5?
[10:50] <ALL4N> eck: and then you share that folder with others..
[10:50] <DaveTarmac> morning everyone.
[10:50] <ALL4N> cable_guy: what eye candy?
[10:50] <Flannel> cable_guy: You might try #ubuntu+1
[10:50] <cable_guy> thx
[10:50] <ALL4N> DaveTarmac: morning
[10:51] <bullgard2> eck: What is in Gaim the tab 'ChanServ'? Can I safely delete this tab also after having read its message? Why does the freenode irc server open up so many new tabs so that my screen is clobbered?
[10:51] <cable_guy> exit
[10:53] <george> eck: running through the install again and the error hasn't came up again yet. its at 6% now on Select and Install software
[10:53] <eck> bullgard2: this is another IRC feature, and you can safely delete the tab. I am not sure why Freenode sends so messages to clients. it might be better to try a different IRC client (like XChat) which is better suited for use with IRC
[10:53] <omegabeta> what does this mean? "Software failure, press left mouse button to continue : Guru meditation"
[10:53] <eck> omegabeta: wow, what gave you that?
[10:53] <ALL4N> omegabeta: haha, thats from Amiga  :)
[10:54] <omegabeta> eck: my old box upstairs
[10:54] <omegabeta> eck: oh, and by old.. i mean.. real..real old
[10:54] <ALL4N> omegabeta: 68030?
[10:54] <omegabeta> ALL4N: lol yep..
[10:55] <ALL4N> omegabeta: :D
[10:55] <omegabeta> ALL4N: Nice guess man..
[10:55] <george> sweet i think its installing now..
[10:55] <ALL4N> omegabeta: it was a lucky one
[10:56] <george> i havnt used linux in i think 6 years :(
[10:57] <eck> george: if the error comes up again, try to determine whether it is before or after all the packages have been installed. if it is afterwards, fixing it is pretty easy
[10:57] <omegabeta> I miss the days of opening an image (oh, I meant "Rendering" an image) where you'd come back an hour later and it would nearly be done
[10:57] <omegabeta> wait.. no i dont
[10:57] <eck> if it gets most of the way through you can also probably fix it
[10:57] <george> its configuring a ton of little apps currently on Select and Install software.. at 70% and chugging away
[10:58] <george> last time it stopped at 2%
[10:58] <bullgard2> eck: Thank you very much for your complete explanation.
[10:59] <george> this is more fun then mucking around learning the new vista group policy fud by 100x
[11:00] <eck> i bet
[11:03] <george> it just finnished installing grub

[11:07] <andytayloruk> so will this speed things up?
[11:07] <jussi01> andytayloruk, should...
[11:07] <andytayloruk> I remember with knoppix it was much faster

[11:08] <jussi01> andytayloruk, yeah, different ditros have diferent things on them
[11:09] <directhex> i'm having a problem with massive high load on my new dapper box, whilst copying from usb to disk
[11:09] <farid> How can I get only the required updates instead of all 124 shown ?
[11:10] <directhex> farid, all shown updates are for things on your system
[11:10] <farid> but its very large download
[11:10] <DaveTarmac> Last night I *finally* managed to get internet access with my Ubuntu box and MadWifi drivers. I successfully updated it and got the n-m-g down. I turned it on this morning however, and it hasn't automatically connected to the network. Did I forget to commit changes to the system, and if so, how do i do that?
[11:11] <GeBo> @farid: AFAIK with apt-get install <packetname> in a terminal
[11:11] <directhex> it probably includes massive things like openoffice
[11:11] <mau> anybody know of a good beryl skydome resource?
[11:11] <farid> I have openoffice already
[11:11] <directhex> GeBo's correct
[11:11] <directhex> farid, yes. a version which requires a stability or security update
[11:11] <farid> I dont need that
[11:11] <farid> only use the PP thingy
[11:12] <alta> wow this channel has grown since I was last here
[11:13] <GeBo> @farid: You only want Presentation from the OpenOffice.org packet? I don't think that is possible
[11:13] <farid> I have it
[11:13] <farid> dont need updates for openoffice
[11:13] <farid> I want KDE 3.5.6
[11:13] <farid> how do I get it
[11:14] <directhex> kde is also an enormous package

[11:15] <farid> ok will try
[11:15] <george> i messed up some where and installed grub on scsi1, where ubuntu is installed on scsi3
[11:15] <farid> thanks
[11:15] <farid> you people are really helpful
[11:15] <eck> george: you want grub on the device itself, not a partition
[11:16] <eck> e.g. /dev/sda not /dev/sda3
[11:16] <george> i have 3 hard drives
[11:16] <eck> oh, i see
[11:16] <eck> ok, i think it is easy to fix
[11:16] <kling0n> what is the syntax to get apt-get to reinstall all dependencies for a given package when doing something like "apt-get --reinstall install foobar" ?
[11:16] <george> i'm in the recovery mode from the ubuntu cd
[11:16] <eck> in grub, press e, and change the root command
[11:17] <GeBo> @directhex: sorry, didn't see your question... Have you tried restarting gdm?
[11:17] <LittleBear> Cannot install from LiveCD at all. Get first sreen, then PS2 mouse and keyboard freeze. See many others having problems. Any fix to try?
[11:17] <Matic`Makovec> Hey, where can I find screensaver settings?
[11:17] <george> in the grub install eck?
[11:17] <eck> george: so you are in the new ubuntu environment?
[11:18] <directhex> GeBo, logged in over ssh. there are no gsm sessions running
[11:18] <GeBo> ow, ok
[11:18] <george> sorry i'm really a newb eck, aplogizing for that first off lol
[11:18] <eck> first of all, are you in the rescue mode or at the grub prompt?
[11:19] <george> i never get to the grub prompt, right after it says Grub loading it gave the error
[11:19] <foxy123> my wife left my laptop running on battery and it switched off when I was logging into my account (I have not notiiced that it was unplugged)
[11:19] <foxy123> and now I canot log in
[11:20] <GeBo> @direxthex: copying from usb to disk over the network?
[11:20] <foxy123> I do not have gdm welcome screen anymore
[11:20] <directhex> GeBo, no. directly plugged in
[11:20] <george> I just restarted the PC after that and booted to the ubuntu alternate CD. went to Rescue a broken system. then got a command prompt on the ubuntu /
[11:20] <GeBo> directhex: then how, ssh?
[11:20] <directhex> GeBo, yes.
[11:20] <GeBo> how?
[11:21] <Arcad3> is there a tutorial in how to install cgi-bin to apache?
[11:21] <eck> george: do you know what device ubuntu is on?
[11:21] <foxy123> it tries 6 times and then says that something wrong
[11:21] <MistaED> edward_: blender
[11:21] <Arcad3> !cgi-bin
[11:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cgi-bin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:21] <george> phsyically its the 3rd scsi (sata) drive
[11:21] <directhex> GeBo, um, with cp?
[11:21] <Arcad3> !cgi
[11:21] <GeBo> directhex: or do you mean tty?
[11:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cgi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:21] <foxy123> what I can do is to log in in console and stop gdm from trying
[11:21] <edward_> Thanks Ed
[11:21] <edward_> anything else?
[11:21] <eck> george: uh, do you know if the rescue mode found the old install or just dropped you into a shell
[11:22] <foxy123> then I have to use my wife's account to get into graphic mode
[11:22] <george> put me in a shell
[11:22] <Arcad3> someone can help me install cgi-bin to apache2?
[11:22] <foxy123> any help?
[11:22] <Arcad3> foxy123:use the command "startx"
[11:22] <MistaED> edward_: there's softimage xsi and maya but they're commercial, k3d is promising but not mature and wings3d i think is just for modelling
[11:22] <GeBo> @directhex: or is the usb on another pc?
[11:22] <foxy123> that what I use
[11:23] <eck> george: ok, reboot the computer and when you get to the grub prompt press 'e' on the menu entry
[11:23] <eck> this will let you edit the parameters grub will use when booting
[11:23] <foxy123> but in my account it does not start X
[11:23] <eck> george: then what you are going to do is specify the correct device for grub to boot from
[11:24] <directhex> GeBo, "directhex@despair:~$ cp -r /media/usbdisk/RAID/ ."
[11:24] <eck> i will help you with that when you get to the grub screen
[11:24] <RomeReactor> edward: maya _is_ commercial, but has a free version
[11:24] <GeBo> @directhex: looks like a terminal screen to me...
[11:24] <foxy123> I think hat something got corrupted when the laptop switched off, but I have no idea what
[11:25] <george> after the computer goes through post and boots from the drive it says "Grub Loading stage 1.5\n, Grub loading please wait...\n Error 17" tried pressing E through the whole boot and got nothing
[11:25] <GeBo> @directhex: and you're sure gnome is not running?
[11:25] <tylersmith> I'm running Gnome and KDE is installed, also. I want to remove KDE. How do I do this?
[11:26] <directhex> GeBo, i'll stop GDM, just for you
[11:26] <GeBo> @directhex: maybe better restart
[11:26] <directhex> load average 1.80
[11:26] <eck> george: damn, i misinterpreted where the problem is. go back into the rescue cd, and then you have to mount your old installation and then you can re-run the grub install command
[11:27] <directhex> load average 3.18
[11:27] <george> eck: ah ok, booting to the cd currently
[11:27] <GeBo> @directhex: I had some strange high cpu load, which ended when I restarted gdm
[11:27] <directhex> load average 5.00
[11:27] <directhex> GeBo, gdm isn't running
[11:28] <GeBo> @directhex: you're running from tty(1) then?
[11:28] <eck> george: when you get into the shell, you can figure out the correct device and partition number by trying a command like: fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[11:29] <eck> george: you should see the partitions and it should be clear which one is a linux partition
[11:29] <directhex> GeBo, pts2. i'm logged in via ssh
[11:29] <eck> it might also be sda or sdb
[11:30] <george> ok
[11:30] <george> eck: /dev/dsc1 Boot *
[11:30] <george> sdc*
[11:32] <george> eck i see wher ei fucked up.. i installed grub orginally to my 250 drive which is just one big ntfs partition
[11:32] <eck> george: ok, try this
[11:32] <eck> mkdir /mnt/ubuntu
[11:32] <eck> mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ubuntu
[11:32] <eck> chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
[11:32] <GeBo> @directhex: did you use that usb device before, or is it the first time, or has it always high load?
[11:32] <eck> that should drop you into the grub install
[11:32] <eck> in a shell of course
[11:33] <eck> err the ubuntu install is what it will drop you into
[11:34] <Plumachau> Hello
[11:35] <eck> hello

[11:35] <Plumachau> Ok, thanks
[11:35] <directhex> GeBo, the disk was filled by a windows machine. i'll try it on my desktop
[11:36] <GeBo> @directhex: but have you tried that device in this situation before?
[11:36] <george> ok i'm at root@ubuntu:/#
[11:36] <GeBo> @directhex: maybe it is driver related
[11:37] <eck> george: now type grub
[11:37] <eck> that will put you into a grub shell
[11:37] <eck> where you can manually configure it
[11:37] <erikja> !dk >erikja
[11:37] <george> Error opening Terminal: bterm
[11:37] <wardy_> hi, can some 1 please tell me how i shre / bridge my internet conncetion with another?
[11:38] <wardy_> share*
[11:38] <eck> george: try: export TERM=linux
[11:38] <eck> and then retry the command
[11:38] <Arcad3> can someone help me with cgi-bin for apache?
[11:38] <george> eck grub>
[11:38] <george> eck: thank you a ton btw
[11:39] <andytayloruk> hi
[11:39] <andytayloruk> I just tried to use envy to update my ATI Mobility M7, and it said my card was not supported by the driver. Is there any other way of updating my driver?
[11:39] <eck> george: actually quit the shell
[11:39] <eck> just with quit
[11:40] <eck> and look at the output of: ls -l /dev/sd*
[11:40] <GeBo> @Arcad3: have you tried to read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/cgi.html
[11:40] <eck> basically in the grub shell you want to enter these commands, but you need to make sure the device nodes exist on the system, which i am not sure thet they will atm in the chroot. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8350/
[11:41] <eck> so you need to verify that you have /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc in the chroot with the ls command
[11:41] <george> with ls -l /dev/sd* there was like 255 entries
[11:41] <directhex> GeBo, high load average on the machine when copying over smb. it's looking like an issue with the local storage rather than the usb storage
[11:41] <eck> george: try fdisk -l /dev/sda and see if that looks like your first scsi disk or if its just garbace
[11:42] <eck> *garbage
[11:42] <wardy> how do i setup a network bridge?
[11:42] <eck> wardy: you get a router
[11:42] <jahid> hi, i tried to install windows true type font in my ubunuto with this command "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts", but i get  message
[11:42] <jahid> can any one help me about this?
[11:42] <eck> you don't want to do it in software, it will be a pita
[11:42] <george> that is my first scsi disk (250gb ntfs part that i installed grub on by accident)
[11:43] <eck> ok, then go back into grub and enter the commands i pastebinned
[11:43] <george> which is fine, grub can stay on there just as long as i point it to the right parts
[11:43] <eck> do you know how to use vi?
[11:44] <eck> well if not you can use nano
[11:44] <GeBo> @directhex: ok, looks complicated... sorry I couldn't be of more help
[11:44] <eck> afterwards you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:44] <eck> and you need to make sure the devices listed there are also correct
[11:44] <hermit_> Hi I am having trouble  copying files to my usb portable drive, I keep getting this error: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/linux/cedega-small_5.2.3_all.deb': Read-only file system
[11:44] <eck> on the lines where it shows ubuntu menu entries, you want them to look like (hd2,0)
[11:45] <eck> er, let me rephrase that
[11:45] <Ademan> anyone know if there are alternative compilers to gcc on ubuntu?
[11:45] <Ademan> (including non-free ones)
[11:45] <eck> Ademan: icc
[11:45] <eck> that is the only one i know of
[11:45] <eck> it is made by intel
[11:46] <Ademan> ah cool, i didn't know if the intel compiler existed for linux
[11:46] <eck> hermit_: you need to remount the system writable
[11:46] <eck> hermit_: e.g. mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
[11:47] <eck> george: on the lines that say root (hd****), you need to make sure that it is (hd2**) for the ubuntu entries
[11:47] <eck> to make sure that grub is using (hd2), which is the third device
[11:47] <eck> after that you should be able to exit out of everything and reboot
[11:48] <DaveTarmac> gah! I'm getting really annoyed with this now. Why is everything such a process in linux? Why did my wireless network that was working fine last night stop working when i turned the computer on today?
[11:48] <eck> Ademan: it is only used very rarely
[11:48] <Ademan> yeah huge liscensing fee iirc
[11:48] <eck> Ademan: i know some high performance crypto/math appliactions use it because it is supposedly faster
[11:48] <andytayloruk> I really don't understand this. in xorg.conf its set my graphics card as  a Radeon Mobility 9000, but mine is a 75000
[11:48] <andytayloruk> *7500
[11:48] <george> when i do setup (hd2,0) it says 17: cannot mount selected partition
[11:49] <Ademan> you haven't used it have you?  I was wondering how the command line syntax compares to gcc
[11:49] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: Did you just get it working last night? If so, maybe you forgot to make something happen by default (like loading a module)?
[11:49] <eck> Ademan: i have not used it
[11:49] <Ademan> andytayloruk: that's just a name it doesn't change performance or anything, you can change it to the correct name but it won't make any difference
[11:49] <DaveTarmac> ok, how do i make it load modules by default?
[11:49] <andytayloruk> I'm sure there must be something wrong, performance sucks tbh
[11:49] <eck> george: quit the grub shell and then run fdisk -l /dev/sdc and make sure it looks like the third device
[11:50] <andytayloruk> and envy says the ati driver isnt compatible with my card
[11:50] <DaveTarmac> in the instructions i was following (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo) it didn't say anything like that.
[11:50] <george> it is the 3rd device.. 2 linux partitions, one swap, one extended and one ntfs
[11:50] <Dr-Jon> hi
[11:50] <eck> george: and the first partition is where ubuntu is?
[11:51] <eck> or, where /boot is rather
[11:51] <george> im really not sure anymore, it might be the last
[11:52] <george> the first and last are both System: Linux
[11:52] <eck> george: well try that in grub and see if that makes it happy
[11:52] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: when you do  lsmod, do all of the modules show loaded?
[11:52] <eck> so that would be (hd2,3) i guess
[11:52] <george> ok
[11:52] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: I'll just check
[11:53] <DaveTarmac> i'm not sure. does MadWifi load by default when you install it?
[11:54] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: in general you need to add the modules you want loaded at boot time to /etc/modules
[11:54] <andytayloruk> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b < ---- what does that mean?
[11:54] <directhex> ignore it
[11:54] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: But I gotta go now for 15min or so.
[11:55] <eck> andytayloruk: you must have the same graphics card as me
[11:55] <DaveTarmac> Lynore: Ok, no doubt I'll still be here struggling through it
[11:55] <eck> it is not a problem
[11:55] <andytayloruk> eck: hm. well does your computer run relatively lagl
[11:55] <andytayloruk> *laggy?
[11:55] <Steven_M> hi all
[11:55] <eck> oh, you are using ati?
[11:56] <andytayloruk> yeap
[11:56] <Steven_M> is there an easy way to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure on all packages?
[11:56] <eck> no, i am using an intel graphics card
[11:56] <andytayloruk> eck: ah. ok. *sigh* I really don't get this
[11:57] <eck> andytayloruk: honestly, i would just give up on dri/drm... when i had a computer with an ati card it just caused more troubles than it was worth
[11:57] <eck> if you are lucky to have a well supported graphics card things work out of the box
[11:57] <andytayloruk> :/
[11:57] <eck> if you need the proprietary drivers its not worth the effort
[11:57] <andytayloruk> why is this only an ubuntu problem?
[11:58] <andytayloruk> every other live cd distribution ive used work fine
[11:58] <andytayloruk> detect the 7500 fine
[11:58] <andytayloruk> run much better
[11:58] <eck> you can copy the xorg.conf from these other distributions if you want
[11:58] <eck> if you are using the proprietary drivers they will be the same across all the distros anyway
[11:58] <andytayloruk> well knoppix does seem to have better hardware support
[11:59] <nja> hi! my friend had kubuntu edgy. after we've installed vlc, whenever he clicked on any folder it would open in vlc instead
[11:59] <nja> of konqueror
[12:00] <nja> looking up what proggies where associated with opening folders in konqueror, there were none
[12:00] <nja> any1 knows about this?
[12:00] <george> eck: its booting into ubuntu
[12:01] <george> the screen is all tan and orange lines
[12:01] <george> ctrl - alt f2 to get to a command prompt?
[12:02] <NKjoep> yes george
[12:02] <eck> george: if its booting into ubuntu then everything is working, right?
[12:02] <george> yes
[12:03] <george> cept i can't see anything now
[12:03] <george> sec ill take a picture w/ my digi cam
[12:03] <eck> george: just go back to X with ctrl-alt-f7
[12:04] <george> its all grey/white lines
[12:04] <george> i can see the command prompt, it moves when i type
[12:04] <NKjoep> so strange... what happened?
[12:04] <george> this is the same thing when i booted from the live cd
[12:04] <NKjoep> george: what's your video card?
[12:05] <wardy> hi, can anyone tell me how i bridge 2 connections please?
[12:05] <george> geforce 7950gt --> dell 20 widescreen flat panel hooked up through dvi
[12:05] <eck> george: that is outside of my expertise
[12:06] <george> ill try a different monitor in the morning.. thanks  a ton eck for all your help
[12:06] <george> you've really been awesome
[12:06] <jagga> hey all
[12:06] <eck> george: i'm glad to have helped
[12:06] <NKjoep> wardy: bridge how?
[12:06] <eck> i hope you have fun with ubuntu
[12:06] <george> i'll be back! good night for now
[12:06] <NKjoep> george: sorry i've got no experience with that hardware
[12:07] <jagga> i have Indian Reliance PCMCI
[12:07] <jagga> i have Indian Reliance PCMCIA Wireless modem card  want to configer the same in my ubutntu 6.10 any idea please
[12:08] <wardy> NKjoep: like a normal network bridge 2 LAN connections
[12:08] <NKjoep> wardy: ok, maybe i can help you.... :)
[12:09] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: (back now)
[12:09] <NKjoep> wardy: are netcard installad and working both?
[12:10] <NKjoep> wardy: if yes you have just to assign an ip and a subnetmask
[12:10] <wardy> NKjoep: yeah but ones my internet connection in if you like and the other is my xbox360, needs xbox live
[12:10] <jagga> i have Indian Reliance PCMCIA Wireless modem card  want to configer the same in my ubutntu 6.10 any idea please
[12:11] <matej> i have amd proc, do i have to install k7 kernel?
[12:12] <NKjoep> wardy: mhhh so in the pc is connected "internet" the other is the xbox.... how many eth do you have?
[12:12] <wardy> NKjoep: 2 eth0 (main) eth1 (xbox)
[12:14] <mackinac> matej:   its not a must ; if you use ubuntu => 6.10 generic kernel is recommended
[12:14] <matej> mackinac, couse? will it run faster or what?
[12:15] <Flannel> matej: if you have edgy, generic is the only kernel.  k7 doesn't exist
[12:15] <mackinac> matej:   what version of ubuntu
[12:15] <matej> oh..
[12:15] <matej> didnt know, sry
[12:15] <fen> can anyone here tell me what some commonly available wlan cards are that have native drivers for them? i know chipsets, but all the cards i see listed in compatability lists don't appear to be available in australia.
[12:15] <matej> what about nvidia, how to install? Long time i wasnt in Ubuntu..
[12:15] <Flannel> !nvidia | matej
[12:15] <ubotu> matej: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:15] <mackinac> generic only?
[12:16] <jagga> does any one know where will be the extranal driver
[12:16] <Flannel> mackinac: in edgy, yes.
[12:16] <matej> tnx
[12:16] <pi_> hi guys - I would like to make a streaming server from my personal webserver with edgy - any good howto?
[12:16] <gugu^> how to install HP Laser Jet 1018
[12:16] <jagga> does any one know where will be the extranal wireless card is
[12:16] <Flannel> matej: but, don't worry.  The -generic kernel has all the optomizations you'd get with the k7 anyway.
[12:16] <caccolangrifata> some problem with TSC sync
[12:17] <fen> anyone?
[12:17] <wardy> NKjoep: i have 2: eth0 (main) eth1 (xbox)

[12:19] <elkbuntu> !msgthebot | omegabeta
[12:19] <ubotu> omegabeta: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[12:19] <bullgard2> ubotu: What does the exclamation mark mean in your message "See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels"?
[12:20] <wardy> How do i bridge two LAN connections together?
[12:20] <elkbuntu> bullgard2, ubotu is a bot. the messages are factoids. factoids start with a !, so it is hinting other factoids
[12:20] <azrael__> bullgard2: ubotu is a bot. Putting just !ubuntu or !xubuntu-channels would activate the bot and have him send you more info.
[12:20] <nowhere> Hi, question... I tried to switch to ubuntu, have to say I like it a lot. One important problem though, could't get connected to my wireless network (WPA). I found it's possible to filter MAC addresses for the network via my router, does this provide enough security? Or is it only secure using signal encription?
[12:20] <Gyro54> How do I completely remove all traces of previous wireless cards prior to installing a new ralink card?
[12:21] <bullgard2>  elkbuntu: Thank you for explaining.
[12:21] <elkbuntu> bullgard2, no problem
[12:21] <finalbeta> nowhere: MAC filtering keeps others from using your network, WPA encryption keeps people from reading the data you send in the air
[12:21] <finalbeta> !wpa
[12:21] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:22] <StoneNote> wardy, http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bridge
[12:22] <nowhere> Ok so it won't make it secure..
[12:22] <wardy> ty
[12:22] <Gyro54> ta
[12:22] <nowhere> That sucks :<
[12:22] <Lynoure> finalbeta: MAC filtering is not very good at keeping others from using your network...
[12:22] <wardy> nowhere: the WPA makes it secure, but the MAC filter stops people from freely connecting to your router to use your internet
[12:22] <finalbeta> nowhere:  You "need" encryption, if not WPA? use WEP. But it's possible yet not easy to use WPA. The next ubuntu version comming in april will make WPA verry easy, if you are lucky with your card that is.
[12:23] <azrael__> Lynoure: In an average home network, it kind of does to some extent.  So far it has been a drama...
[12:23] <nowhere> finalbeta: My question was from a security point of view :)
[12:24] <finalbeta> nowhere: I have that card, on the next version it will work like a charm. But I had it working in Edgy 2
[12:24] <Lynoure> azrael__: Yes, but not to the extent that it would keep people who really want to use it from using it, if they hand around a bit.
[12:24] <nowhere> finalbeta: Can you provide me with the steps you used to get it working? Mine doesn't even detect the netwerk... With Dapper it did, but could only get it working using WEP...
[12:25] <finalbeta> !bcm43xx
[12:25] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:25] <Lynoure> finalbeta: I would say too lawabiding, not dumb.
[12:25] <azrael__> Lynoure: Sure, but WEP is crackable pretty easily if you are allowed to "hang around"
[12:25] <azrael__> Lynoure: WPA as well, but requires more hanging around.
[12:25] <Lynoure> azrael__: I would not recommend WEP either, really
[12:25] <nowhere> Not planning to use WEP here, I know how insecure it is.
[12:25] <finalbeta> nowhere: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Edgy << I used this guide, although the card will only run at 11Mbit that way. I had WPA working.
[12:26] <finalbeta> Lynoure: A little from column a, a little from column b ;)
[12:26] <nowhere> finalbeta: Is that for WMP54G?
[12:27] <finalbeta> Yes, that linksys card has a bcm43xx chip inside.
[12:27] <finalbeta> You probably bought it with your WRT54G? :p
[12:27] <nowhere> finalbeta: Mine has a ralink chipset.
[12:27] <azrael__> Lynoure: One of the things about those techniques though is that they all require substantial traffic. Most home networks don't produce enough traffic for them to get it without being really suspicious.
[12:27] <nowhere> finalbeta: I have a Siemens router.
[12:27] <finalbeta> !ralink
[12:27] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:28] <nowhere> finalbeta: I have tried that, didn't work...
[12:28] <wardy> StoneNote: i have downloaded the bridge souce code and extracted it, now what?
[12:28] <finalbeta> sry, don't know the status of that chip then. No idea if it will work on Fiesty, although they did serious improvements.
[12:28] <Lynoure> azrael__: I know. But most people do not notice the suspicious. Unfortunately.
[12:29] <finalbeta> It seems supported, try asking on the forums.
[12:30] <nowhere> finalbeta: Maybe I should wait for fiesty then, or a later version where using my rather popular card will work without trouble :)
[12:30] <Lynoure> I had no trouble getting WPA working even with Dapper
[12:30] <Lynoure> Is it harder on Edgy?
[12:30] <nowhere> I think it all depends on what card you have.
[12:31] <nowhere> And maybe also on how experienced you are with Linux/Ubuntu.
[12:32] <Lynoure> I think it pretty much just took throwing in knetworkmanager and commenting out the interface. But I did choose the hardware to be Linux-happy :)
[12:32] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: Sorry for my extended /away, but I've just checked the modules list and ath_pci is in it. I can scan for AP's, but can't seem to connect anymore
[12:32] <nowhere> Lynoure: Unfortunatly, you are wrong there...
[12:33] <Lynoure> nowhere: hmm?
[12:33] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: If it's any help, the guide i was working from is here, just so we can be looking at the same thing http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
[12:33] <Lynoure> nowhere: I'm pretty sure that's all it took me.
[12:33] <nowhere> Lynoure: Oh just for you, sorry didn't read it very properly.. Little frustrated with my own situation I guess :)
[12:34] <jahid> is there anyone who can help me about my internet connection?
[12:34] <candyban_> I have 2 interfaces (dhcp) ... can I somehow force ubuntu to check the link status before it tries to get a lease on a particular card?
[12:34] <nowhere> jahid: Please state question/problem :)
[12:34] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: I took a quick look at it. Where the modules loaded? You should probably add them to /etc/modules if not
[12:35] <candyban_> Normally only one of the 2 interfaces will have a connection
[12:35] <jahid> nowhere, if i boot in windows then my machine works fine connecting to internet. if i boot in ubuntu, then the connection works fine for some time. but after that it just get numb
[12:35] <jahid> i am using DSL connection, and they maintain DHCP
[12:35] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: under the heading 'Loading the MadWiFi Module'. I looked at the lsmod list and ath_pci came under 'wlan'
[12:36] <Alfa> i'm new in linux platform and i've installed ubuntu x86 on amd proc my question is which book will good for me ? any sugg is welcome ty
[12:36] <jahid> nowhere, can you help me?
[12:38] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: and the wlan_scan_sta?
[12:38] <jahid> can anyone else help me please, this problem is just moving me back to windows. because you know that its not possible to stay without internet connection but its possible to stay without ubuntu
[12:38] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: under 'wlan' also
[12:38] <bobas_> d
[12:39] <gugu^> Please help to install HP LaserJet 1018
[12:39] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: Sorry, they're used by 'wlan'. do they need to be defined in /etc/modules as seperate entities?
[12:40] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: if they are loaded, they are loaded :)
[12:41] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: thought so. like i said earlier, I seem to be having trouble connecting to the AP with WEP
[12:41] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: oh, I missed that bit.
[12:42] <Narqulie> Um.. What am I supposed to do now? : -- checking for gcc... gcc
[12:42] <Narqulie> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[12:42] <Narqulie> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[12:43] <lafiel> Hi, apt-get update is failing for me both with the main repository and my local one. Anyone know if there is a problem with the servers?
[12:43] <jahid> can anyone tell me how to ask ubuntu to renew my ip address? here i want to mention that my internet service provider uses DHCP
[12:44] <deFrysk> lafiel, removal of the country-code in the sources.list lines usually helps
[12:44] <thcmonkey> anyone know a good forum with a howto for ubuntu to xp ics?
[12:44] <thcmonkey> google isn't proving very lucrative
[12:44] <lafiel> deFrysk: setting it to "main repository" seems to do that automatically. It always gets stuck at the same spot too :
[12:45] <lafiel> thcmonkey: with XP as the router?
[12:45] <thcmonkey> nah with ubuntu as gateway
[12:45] <thcmonkey> sharing via c/o
[12:46] <pierre__> How do i upgrade from edgy to feisty?
[12:46] <jahid> can anyone tell me how to ask ubuntu to renew my ip address? here i want to mention that my internet service provider uses DHCP
[12:46] <predaeus> jahid: sudo dhclient
[12:47] <thcmonkey> i wasn't sure if it was as simple as setting static ip to eth1 (xp facing card)... thought i might need to start a network services client or something
[12:47] <matej> i have one question..in vlc player, what is default audio volume .. from 0 to 1024 wtf? I dont what it means.
[12:47] <Joeeigel> Hey i have a problem installing Ubuntu, can some1 help?
[12:48] <thcmonkey> matej - at a guess set it at like 250 then play something and see what the volume's like

[12:49] <lafiel> thcmonkey: Usually, firewall clients can sort you out. Stuff like firestarter, watchdog/guarddog etc.

[12:59] <DaveTarmac> ok, bear with me. think i've got to go through the steps again. two seconds

[12:59] <candyban_> ata3: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/20 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
[12:59] <candyban_> anyone an idea what that means?
[12:59] <predaeus> andytayloruk, no. but it should be used if all your RAM is used up.

[01:02] <pierre__> How do i upgrade from Edgy to Feisty?
[01:03] <comosicus> what it means +b cannot join channel?
[01:03] <jirafunky> i'm here because i'm a newbie in using ubuntu edgy on a compaq laptop
[01:03] <comosicus> ahh me too
[01:03] <jirafunky> and every thing works fine excep for the webcam
[01:03] <comosicus> 4 days of ubuntu
[01:03] <comosicus> u?
[01:03] <cjvail13> i need help with screen resolution
[01:04] <elkbuntu> pierre__, changing sources and dist-upgrading, however you should talk about feisty in #ubuntu+1
[01:04] <[MINE] Devy> Need help with getting 1600x1200 resolution workin :)
[01:04] <andytayloruk> if anyone could help me with my ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 I'd really appreciate it... basically ubuntu installed fine but its quite slow (icons lag when they load, lag when dragging windows, slow to open windows) and I guess it must be my graphics card. apparently direct rendering is working. performance was much better in other distros e.g. knoppix; no slowdown
[01:04] <Lynoure> comosicus: yes +b means that the person is banned from the channel. Usually a result of breaking the rules of the channel.
[01:04] <craigc> hi
[01:04] <jirafunky> the system hangs on when i turn it up
[01:04] <milkyspin> what are the rules of this channel?
[01:04] <comosicus> thanks
[01:04] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, have you checked that it is using the ATI or FGLRX drivers and not the Vesa drivers?
[01:05] <elkbuntu> !guidelines | milkyspin
[01:05] <ubotu> milkyspin: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:05] <andytayloruk> elkbuntu: how do I do that?
[01:05] <comosicus> how do i join again
[01:05] <comosicus> ?
[01:05] <milkyspin> thanks elkbuntu
[01:05] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, are you comfortable using the command line?
[01:05] <andytayloruk> relatively
[01:05] <Sircoelho> andytayloruk, try this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Performance_Issues
[01:05] <Lynoure> comosicus: you can join again when they have unbanned you.
[01:06] <andytayloruk> cheers Sircoelho
[01:06] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, then could you 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and tell me if it says ATI anywhere in it?
[01:06] <craigc> need a little help with my screen resolution can anone help? i have followed the nvidia tutorials and i am at a point where i have the drivers installed, nvidia had detected my projector fine but i cant see enough of the screen in the nvidia settings manager to be able to change the resolition.
[01:06] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: As far as I can see, the only ip on the ifconfig is <IP_ADDRESS> which is for my wifi0 - but that is localhost
[01:07] <andytayloruk> elkbuntu: Device          "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 9000] "
[01:07] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: yes, so you did not get an ip. You use dhcp in the network?
[01:07] <cjvail13> craigc i am having the same problems
[01:07] <andytayloruk> its the wrong card. weird
[01:07] <DaveTarmac> yeah
[01:07] <craigc> so close yet so far :)
[01:07] <naranha> hi, i tried ubuntu edgy and feisty.. both of them crash at the gdm login screen completely (can't do anything but hard-reboot). when i boot in rescue mode and do xinit and gnome-session, it seems to work fine however. windows works fine too... any ideas what i might try to do?
[01:07] <jirafunky> hi, i'm here because i have installed ubuntu edgy on my laptop (compaq evo nc610) and every things seems to work fine excep for the webcam. My webcam has a z-star based chip and uses the spca5xx driver. The preblem is that the systems hangs on when i use any program that interacts qith the webcam. Hope help... thanks
[01:07] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: i tried to dhclient ath0 - but it just times outalso
[01:07] <kbd> I need some help fixing gnome for a user account on this Edgy (upgraded from Dapper). I tried installing an mouse theme but it all went horribly wrong and the theme was malformed and gnome quit working. I suppose I need to regenerate configuration files and folders for gnome, or perhaps there is a lock issue... I don't know really. But gnome-settings-daemon or gnome-session are unable to connect to dbus. :/
[01:07] <[MINE] Devy> seems screenresolution is something alot of people are havin trouble with
[01:08] <naranha> gdm crashes after a few seconds, i'm able to move the mouse a bit
[01:08] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, is that the only mention of ati?
[01:08] <andytayloruk> no
[01:08] <Joeeigel> Do i need to set up linux to work with my internet or should it just do it if im running it on a partitioned windows/lunux machine?
[01:08] <andytayloruk> its in there under Device and Screen
[01:08] <h1st0> Joeeigel: depends on your internet of course.
[01:08] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, what about next to driver anywhere?
[01:09] <h1st0> Joeeigel: do you automatically get an ip from your router?
[01:09] <Joeeigel> I have a router...
[01:09] <craigc> mine is fine except i am stuck in 800x600 which is kinda a shame considering im using an 8ft projector screen, lol
[01:09] <Joeeigel> Yes h1sy0 i do
[01:09] <Joeeigel> h1st0* Yea i do
[01:09] <h1st0> Joeeigel: well if your router is set for DHCP then you shouldnt' ahve to do anything.
[01:09] <Joeeigel> How can i check?
[01:09] <andytayloruk> elkbuntu: no, can't see anything
[01:09] <andytayloruk> just in those two places
[01:09] <cjvail13> i am using a widescreen and some of the desktop is cutoff
[01:09] <jirafunky> anyone can help me???
[01:09] <craigc> same here exactly
[01:09] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, then it seems to be using the Vesa driver? is it mentioned next to Driver?
[01:09] <h1st0> Joeeigel: well your network card will get an ip you can just run ifconfig to see if dhcp is working.
[01:09] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: and ifconfig showed eth0, too?   It could help if you pastebinned your   /etc/network/interfaces
[01:09] <h1st0> Joeeigel: or just boot to a live cd and internet would work.
[01:09] <Joeeigel> ok
[01:10] <craigc> cjvail13 same here exactly
[01:10] <h1st0> Joeeigel: unless you need to install drivers for your card it should be pretty seamless with dhcp
[01:10] <DaveTarmac> can't really. differnet physical machines
[01:10] <cjvail13> any answers
[01:10] <cjvail13> its not really messing anything up
[01:10] <Joeeigel> Ive ran IPconfic, nothing..
[01:10] <cjvail13> but its annoying
[01:10] <andytayloruk> elkbuntu: my bad, its using the ati driver
[01:11] <andytayloruk> Driver		"ati"
[01:11] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, try fglrx then
[01:11] <elkbuntu> !fglrx | andytayloruk
[01:11] <ubotu> andytayloruk: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:11] <craigc> cjvail13 i adjusted to max offset on H sync but still  a lot was missing, i installed the nvidia drivers on the Feisty beryl how to and tha fixed the offset but now im in 800x600
[01:11] <andytayloruk> ok
[01:11] <cjvail13> what card are you using
[01:12] <pihus_> Is there any other way to solve the beryl+white cube problem, besides downgradeing?
[01:12] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: ok, i'm gonna write it out for you. gimme 2 ticks
[01:12] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, the fglrx driver is ATI non-libre driver
[01:12] <andytayloruk> which means?
[01:12] <whosit> Pihus_, I fixed by using the latest video driver and beryl
[01:12] <andytayloruk> The 'fglrx' driver does not support cards earlier than the 8500.
[01:13] <andytayloruk> mines a 7500
[01:13] <craigc> ubotu thanks i will try that guide
[01:13] <pihus_> whosit, ati card?
[01:13] <whosit> yeap
[01:13] <JamesGlover> Hi.
[01:13] <pihus_> whosit, the one I can download from ati's homepage?
[01:13] <whosit> I got the new Xgl, ATi driver and Beryl
[01:13] <whosit> yea
[01:13] <whosit> You have to compile it to get it installed.
[01:13] <pihus_> i know :)
[01:13] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: you could also try doing a blanket   dhclient  without specifying the interface
[01:13] <whosit> :)
[01:14] <pihus_> but I thoght that beryl won't work with those drivers
[01:14] <Mumbles> anyone know where i can edit the network config? mines stuck on noon dhcp
[01:14] <gugu^> elkbuntu, what is the site for printing
[01:14] <whosit> Did for my ATI M200
[01:14] <pihus_> I have radeon 9700
[01:14] <whosit> but if you just want to fix it quickly
[01:14] <erUSUL> Mumbles: System>Admin>net or /etc/network/interfaces
[01:14] <craigc> cjvail13 im using a Gforce 7300 LE
[01:14] <whosit> run beryl manager and select advance and then renderpath and then copy
[01:14] <matej> what i must install to play sound when i go over the icon of mp3 file?
[01:15] <elkbuntu> !printing | gugu^ ?
[01:15] <ubotu> gugu^ ?: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:15] <CpuID2> hey anyone here given beryl a try on ppc?
[01:15] <cjvail13> wow i am using a gforce 7300
[01:15] <elkbuntu> gugu^, is that what you meant?
[01:15] <cjvail13> so have you had any luck yet
[01:15] <CpuID2> just wondering if its as stable as x86/amd64 yet
[01:15] <naranha> hi, i tried ubuntu edgy and feisty.. both of them crash at the gdm login screen completely after just a few secs (can't do anything but hard-reboot). when i boot in rescue mode and do xinit and gnome-session, it seems to work fine however. windows works fine too... nothing seems to help, any ideas what i might try to do?
[01:15] <JamesGlover> Is anyone available to help?
[01:15] <h1st0> No there all gone
[01:15] <andytayloruk> elkbuntu: I don't think I should try it since it says it doesn't support my card
[01:15] <gugu^> elkbuntu, yes, thx
[01:15] <h1st0> all the pixies took us away
[01:15] <pihus_> whosit, selecting copy should resolve the white cube problem?
[01:16] <whosit> yes
[01:16] <pihus_> hmm
[01:16] <h1st0> !ask | JamesGlover
[01:16] <whosit> that helped me
[01:16] <ubotu> JamesGlover: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:16] <craigc> cjvail im running feisty as it was the only one thatd install on my AMD64
[01:16] <pihus_> gonna try it ot now :)
[01:16] <h1st0> craigc: fiesty support is in #ubuntu+1
[01:16] <JamesGlover> Um, I'm having trouble with drivers.
[01:16] <whosit> but I then upgraded to the new version of beryl and didnt need to do that.
[01:16] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, which ubuntu version are you using? (if you said i forgot)
[01:16] <h1st0> JamesGlover: which drivers?
[01:16] <andytayloruk> 6.10 edgy eft
[01:16] <craigc> cjvail i followed the feisty-beryl how to and that has been the most success
[01:16] <JamesGlover> I have a D-Link DWL-G122 USB Wireless Adapter, but it won't connect to my network.
[01:17] <h1st0> craigc: beryl support is in #ubuntu-effects
[01:17] <Mumbles> erUSUL, will try again
[01:17] <JamesGlover> In fact, it won't even turn on.
[01:17] <craigc> cjvail the nvidia settings manager now shows mu card, my projector and the possible modes to run in
[01:17] <h1st0> JamesGlover: did you try looking at the hardware list in the wiki?
[01:17] <craigc> cjvail however i cant scroll down in the manager enough to apply a resolution change!!
[01:17] <pihus_> whosit, it really did work :) But what's the difference between "copy" and the other option?
[01:17] <JamesGlover> I'm a silly bugger, so no. :#
[01:17] <pihus_> somehow I think that copy isn't that good :p
[01:17] <whosit> I dont know
[01:18] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, not sure what to suggest. try checking launchpad for bugs on the card to see if any match, and if not, report it
[01:18] <h1st0> JamesGlover: They list different devices and manufacturers there as well as what drivers are required to get it working. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:18] <andytayloruk> ok elkbuntu. thanks. I might try posting on the forums first. Thanks for your help:)
[01:18] <[MINE] Devy> After 6 hours with trying to get the resolution up to 1600x1200 we are about to give up. Im using the newest Gentoo and the drivers just wont let me get the resolution i want.
[01:18] <whosit> Xgl and beryl ROCKS1
[01:18] <h1st0> JamesGlover: Would be a start so you know for sure which driver to use.
[01:18] <elkbuntu> andytayloruk, good luck
[01:18] <h1st0> [MINE] Devy: this is not a gentoo suport
[01:18] <[MINE] Devy> not gentoo but ubuntu lol sorry
[01:18] <h1st0> lol
[01:18] <pihus_> hmm, somehow my theme is now messed up.
[01:18] <JamesGlover> Alright, I'll check there first. Thank you, h1st0.
[01:19] <[MINE] Devy> i just changed from gentoo to ubuntu today
[01:19] <h1st0> JamesGlover: np
[01:19] <CpuID2> [MINE] Devy, opinions so far?
[01:19] <pihus_> everything looks old and nothcing changes when I switch theme from "theme preferences"
[01:19] <pihus_> -c
[01:19] <CpuID2> how long you been using gentoo btw?
[01:19] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, assuming you have go tthe correct drivers, did you try to put a modeline into xorg.conf with the output of "gtf 1600 1200 60 -x" ?
[01:19] <elkbuntu> [MINE] Devy, have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[01:19] <[MINE] Devy> CpuID2 since it came out
[01:20] <CpuID2> heh coo
[01:20] <[MINE] Devy> CpuID2 but since i couldt get the res up on gentoo i was tempted to try ubuntu and see if that worked
[01:20] <JamesGlover> It's not in the wiki.
[01:20] <CpuID2> interesting
[01:20] <CpuID2> card?
[01:20] <h1st0> JamesGlover: your card isn't listed?
[01:20] <JamesGlover> No, it's not.
[01:21] <h1st0> JamesGlover: what kind of card is it?
[01:21] <JamesGlover> D-Link DWL-G122
[01:21] <craigc> anyone know how i can edit the nvidia settings by editing files rather than through the GUI?
[01:21] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8357/
[01:21] <fotofl0> arg. i was just here asking about MTA's and I got an itnernational telephone call
[01:21] <h1st0> JamesGlover: herm.. a G122 is it different than a 122?  because I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-122
[01:21] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi ive tried to make a few modlines after browsing goole several times, none has worked. But -x
[01:21] <fotofl0> I need to setup an MTA...
[01:22] <fotofl0> dont know which one to use
[01:22] <CpuID2> [MINE] Devy, which card?
[01:22] <whosit> craigc, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but read up on it before messing around
[01:22] <diepruis> what's an MTA?
[01:22] <fotofl0> heard a lot of good things about postfix
[01:22] <fotofl0> MTA = mail transfer agent
[01:22] <whosit> Mail Trasport Agent
[01:22] <diepruis> ahhh
[01:22] <vlt|l> Hello. On a multi user machine running ubuntu Dapper one user gets "[Java framework]  Error in function createUserSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).javaldx failed!" when trying to run OpenOffice. What could be setup wrong here?

[01:22] <fotofl0> transport
[01:22] <[MINE] Devy> CpuID2 its a 6600 GT
[01:22] <craigc> whosit,  Thanks ill take a look :)
[01:22] <JamesGlover> h1st0: They're not the same.
[01:22] <JamesGlover> I think they're similar, though.
[01:22] <CpuID2> [MINE] Devy, nvidia driver version on gentoo? and on ubuntu?
[01:22] <whosit> transfer or tranport, Its been a while
[01:23] <h1st0> JamesGlover: yeah one is B one is G probably.  But I don't know for sure.  Maybe search the forums.  or try the linux-wlan-ng drivers

[01:23] <Supre_Me> hello, I just installed the quake 4 demo and now I want to remove it. How do I remove it the proper way? sudo apt-get remove quake4-demo doesn't work
[01:23] <vlt|l> Hello. On a multi user machine running ubuntu Dapper one user gets "[Java framework]  Error in function createUserSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).javaldx failed!" when trying to run OpenOffice. What could be setup wrong here?
[01:23] <ubotu> JamesGlover: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:23] <h1st0> Supre_Me: As long as quake4-demo is the name of the package that will remove it.
[01:23] <[MINE] Devy> CpuID2 cant remember on gentoo but on ubuntu its 8776
[01:23] <h1st0> Supre_Me: or you can try aptitude
[01:23] <whosit> wha, quake4 demo in apt, I didnt know :)
[01:23] <JamesGlover> I will admit - I have no clue as to what I'm doing.
[01:23] <fotofl0> has anyone setup an MTA before?
[01:23] <h1st0> Supre_Me: How did you instlal it actually.
[01:24] <h1st0> whosit: I doubt it.
[01:24] <h1st0> !quake4-demo
[01:24] <vlt|l> fotofl0: postfix works fine
[01:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about quake4-demo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:24] <h1st0> nope
[01:24] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: You seem to be using a static address anyway. You sure ifconfig did not show that one you set for ath0? (I might be somehow confused here)
[01:24] <CpuID2> [MINE] Devy, tried the 9 series?
[01:24] <h1st0> Supre_Me: How was the demo installed?
[01:24] <fotofl0> vlt|l: i only need mail forwarding...
[01:24] <DaveTarmac> i'll check again... bear with me
[01:24] <gugu^> Please help to install HP LaserJet 1018!!!
[01:24] <Supre_Me> h1st0, I installed it via a .run file (sh)

[01:25] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, in a terminal "gtf 1600 1400 60 -x" and copy everything appart from "-HSynx +Vsync" into the Section Monitor. RENAME the modeline to "1600x1400". Above the modeline add the following line: Option "DDC" "false". save the xorg.conf file and restart xorg.
[01:25] <h1st0> JamesGlover: Try posting on ubuntuforums.org put your specific model and version of ubuntu.  I'm sure someon there will explain the exact driver you need.
[01:25] <Supre_Me> h1st0, and no, sudo apt-get remove with the package name does not work
[01:25] <matej> what i must install to play sound when i go over the icon of mp3 file?
[01:25] <pihus> When I login to Gnome session, then everything is ok and I can change themes. But when I login to XGL session, then everything looks old and when choosing another theme, then only window decorations change, but not the buttons etc.
[01:25] <gugu^> Please help to install HP LaserJet 1018!!! When i whant to compile it gives me an error
[01:25] <pihus> what could be the problem?
[01:25] <h1st0> Supre_Me: yeah because it wasn't installed with apt-get.
[01:25] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: try   ping <IP_ADDRESS>  while you are at it.
[01:25] <JamesGlover> Alright, h1st0. Thank you.
[01:25] <Supre_Me> h1st0, aha, ok. So how do I remove it then?
[01:25] <h1st0> Supre_Me: first you need to look in the directory you installed from and see if there is an uninstall script.
[01:25] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, oh and of course make sure that "1600x1400" is the default resolution for the depth you want in the Section Screen
[01:25] <h1st0> Supre_Me: What do you type to run the demo?
[01:26] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi do u mean 1600x1200 ? cuz thats what i want to use as resolution
[01:26] <h1st0> Supre_Me: you can try which quake4-demo     it will show the path where it is.  If its just in /opt  you should be able to just rm -rf the directory.
[01:26] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: no ip address for ath0 and the ping returned 'connect: network is unreachable'
[01:26] <Supre_Me> h1st0, already checked that and there's nothing named uninstall or something like that and it's not mentioned in the readme
[01:26] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, yes. sorry
[01:26] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi hehe ok
[01:26] <h1st0> Supre_Me: well how do you launch the quake4 demo?
[01:26] <whosit> Pihus have you tried emerald themes?
[01:27] <Supre_Me> h1st0, to run the game I just press the icon on my desktop
[01:27] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, "gtf 1600 1200 60 -x"
[01:27] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi it says out of range sigh
[01:27] <h1st0> Supre_Me: alright open a terminal and type in which quake4
[01:27] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, that means either your monitor or driver does not support it.
[01:28] <[MINE] Devy> well its 20 inch LCDs and i got em on 1600-1200 on the windows machine
[01:28] <h1st0> Supre_Me: any results?
[01:28] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, what graphic card and which driver do you use?
[01:28] <h1st0> Supre_Me: also most of the installers may have a switch like ./quake4-demo.sh -uninstall
[01:28] <Supre_Me> h1st0, it finds the following things: quake4-demo quake4-demoded quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run
[01:28] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi 6600 GT and using 8776
[01:29] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: That is peculiar.  does dmegs show anything about ath0 if you do  ifconfig ath0 down   and   ifconfig ath0 up?
[01:29] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: s/dmegs/dmesg
[01:29] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, ok. hang on
[01:30] <h1st0> Supre_Me: well type in "which quake4-demo"   and it should give you the path to the demo
[01:30] <naranha> hi, i tried ubuntu edgy and feisty.. both of them crash at the gdm login screen completely after just a few secs (can't do anything but hard-reboot). when i boot in rescue mode and do xinit and gnome-session, it seems to work fine however. windows works fine too... nothing seems to help, any ideas what i might try to do?
[01:30] <h1st0> Supre_Me: wihtout the qoutes of corse.
[01:30] <Supre_Me> h1st0, no, it doesn't give any output
[01:30] <h1st0> naranha: run it in safe graphics mode.
[01:31] <Spinnaker> How I can find out other users IP in IRC? plz, help me.
[01:31] <h1st0> Supre_Me: okay right click on the quake4 launcher on your desktop and go to properties
[01:31] <naranha> h1st0: what's that?
[01:31] <Supre_Me> h1st0, but I know that I have the base install in my gaming folder in my home folder and + there's a hidden folder in my home folder named .quake or something
[01:31] <Errpast1> Trying to dual boot Vista and Ubuntu for a friend
[01:31] <h1st0> Supre_Me: well then just delete those folders
[01:32] <h1st0> Supre_Me: and the icon quake is pretty much self containted.  The only othe rplay it may be is /usr/local/games  But I doubt that.
[01:32] <phazeman> anyone evwer experienced problems with Intel 8294EG chipset integrated graphic card ? i can't make X to start in any way with it
[01:32] <h1st0> naranha: its an option on the live cd.
[01:32] <h1st0> naranha: What type of video card do you have?
[01:32] <Supre_Me> h1st0, alright. I was just thinking if that would leave other files and stuff, like it does when you don't use add and remove programs in windows
[01:32] <naranha> nvidia geforce 7600
[01:32] <phazeman> it's's Intel 82945G chipset
[01:33] <thcmonkey> is there an ubuntu network help channel on freenode?
[01:33] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: The only ath0 line in dmesg was 'ath0: No IPv6 routers available'
[01:33] <Errpast1> After partitioning with Vista (gparted wouldn't work for Vista NFS), and isntalling Ubuntu, reboot Grub didn't show Vista
[01:33] <h1st0> Supre_Me: well not with quake typically.  Thats why I was saying to just double check right click on the launcher and go to properties it will show the path to the executable.
[01:33] <naranha> seems to work now, i added acpi=off to bootops
[01:33] <h1st0> Supre_Me: as long as its in your home its self contained.
[01:33] <naranha> no it just crashed
[01:33] <h1st0> Supre_Me: the .quake  will be hidden folders and settings in your home as well.
[01:33] <h1st0> naranha: well boot to recover mode.
[01:33] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i nv" show nv or nvidia?
[01:33] <Ferret> Errpast1: The newest gparted livecds *should* work with vista's fs
[01:33] <pjota> hi there!
[01:33] <Supre_Me> h1st0, ah yes, I'll check me usr/share folder just in case. Thanks!
[01:33] <naranha> on it
[01:34] <phazeman> anyone ?
[01:34] <h1st0> naranha: then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the device section to vesa  instead of nv
[01:34] <pjota> Anybody knows how to install section 2 of the man? I tried apt-get install manpages but didn't work.
[01:34] <naranha> as i said it works fine in recovery mode without gdm
[01:34] <[MINE] Devy> nvidia
[01:34] <[MINE] Devy> Jowinvidia
[01:34] <[MINE] Devy> grrr typos
[01:34] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: That's pretty normal and normally does not indicate a problem.
[01:34] <Errpast1> Ferret - thanks, come to think of it, mine is a couple months old
[01:34] <h1st0> Supre_Me: yeah /usr/games
[01:34] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi nvidia
[01:34] <smileymoo> hi
[01:34] <h1st0> Supre_Me: just in case but I doubt quake would do that.
[01:35] <h1st0> naranha: yes you need different video drivers.
[01:35] <Spee_Der> !nvidia | [MINE] Devy
[01:35] <ubotu> [MINE] Devy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:35] <mptech> Does anyone know where I can get beta versions of the installer?
[01:35] <naranha> i tried the official nvidia and vesa drivers
[01:35] <smileymoo> hi guys, just booted up my mates dead PC< how owuld i mount the C: drive so we can recover his files?
[01:35] <naranha> same problem
[01:35] <h1st0> naranha: if you get in recovery mode you could sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[01:35] <h1st0> naranha: even with vesa specified?
[01:35] <naranha> i already did that
[01:35] <naranha> yes
[01:36] <naranha> nvidia drivers work fine in rescue mode
[01:36] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: Any more ideas? or shall i remove the drivers and start again?
[01:36] <erUSUL> smileymoo: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/
[01:36] <h1st0> naranha: Well what version of ubuntu and what type of hardware.
[01:36] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, did you install nvidia-glx?
[01:36] <smileymoo> erUSUL: mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/ busy
[01:37] <h1st0> naranha: has this system ever worked properly?
[01:37] <delight> does that amd64bit version run on a new intel-cpu with 64bit extension ? like the core2duo ?
[01:37] <naranha> tried both feisty and edgy, same problem. now i'm on feisty. i got an amd64 system, but im using the 386 ubuntu
[01:37] <naranha> in windows it works just fine
[01:37] <smileymoo> and hda doesn't exist :O
[01:37] <h1st0> naranha: join #ubuntu+1
[01:37] <erUSUL> smileymoo: post the output of cat /proc/mounts in a pastebin...
[01:37] <h1st0> naranha: that is fiesty suport.
[01:37] <erUSUL> !pastebin | smileymoo
[01:37] <ubotu> smileymoo: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:37] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: I'm not sure, it kind of seems like the drivers work, but not having an ip for staticly set interface is a bit bizarre
[01:37] <smileymoo> erUSUL: could you point me..... hahha thanks :D
[01:38] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi yes its installed. It works fine with 1280x1024 it just wont work with 1600x1200
[01:38] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: I know. ITs quite odd.
[01:38] <naranha> mmm ok
[01:38] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi I just installed the newest driver and are trying it now
[01:38] <spamhog> Running 6.06.01 LTS - I suppose support is long term als long as I do not dist-upgrade to the next release, right?
[01:38] <h1st0> spamhog: yes
[01:38] <smileymoo> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8358/
[01:39] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: I'm actually going to have to vanish for a bit but I'll stay on here if you have any ideas.
[01:39] <h1st0> spamhog: once you upgrade to the next release support would be for that releases lenght.
[01:39] <h1st0> spamhog: however, this is free support so it really doens't matter.
[01:39] <[MINE] Devy> everything froze grrrr
[01:39] <DaveTarmac> Lynoure: THanks for your help with this anyway. I'll be back later on.
[01:39] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: someone more familiar with madwifi might be able to help you better than me. Good luck.
[01:40] <spamhog> h1st0: great!  If I want to stay with a LTS, do you know if / how I can disable dist-upgrade?  I see it as a big temptation for (L)users... :-)
[01:40] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, can you post your xorg.conf into the pastebin please?
[01:40] <h1st0> spamhog: Users can't dist-upgrade
[01:40] <mptech> is it possible to use newer versions of the feisty installer to install edgy?
[01:40] <aldin> anyone knows some good network treacking program i found vnstat
[01:40] <h1st0> spamhog: only the sudoers can.
[01:40] <erUSUL> smileymoo: 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/' my fault i forget the 1
[01:41] <Lynoure> DaveTarmac: one weird question: can it be that someone else has the ip you configured to be the static one?
[01:41] <spamhog> OK, so that's the only barrier...  thank you!
[01:41] <h1st0> mptech: might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 but anythign is possible.
[01:41] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi Im on irc from the windows machine beside me, the newest driver froze everything
[01:41] <smileymoo> lol erUSUL im a gentoo user and i didn't notice that either :D
[01:41] <h1st0> spamhog: well not really a barrier just don't give people that access.
[01:41] <smileymoo> erUSUL: ok its...... doing something :D
[01:42] <mptech> h1st0, do you know of an edgy installer version that has kernel newer than 2.6.18.  My motherboard doesn't work well with versions earlier than that
[01:42] <MrMist> Hi all
[01:42] <MrMist> I want to create a .ogg-file from a track on a audio-disc...
[01:42] <erUSUL> smileymoo: ow the c: partition is under /mnt/ you have to use sudo to access file there
[01:42] <h1st0> mptech: not that I know of you would have to make your own.
[01:42] <MrMist> How do I do it ?
[01:42] <smileymoo> erUSUL: any idea how long this will take from Live cd, wtih 512 ram?
[01:43] <aldin> anyone knows some good GUI network treacking program i found vnstat
[01:43] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi Im gonna reinstall everything and come back later....Im about to throw the pc out of the window
[01:43] <erUSUL> MrMist: use a cdrip program like grip or sound juicer
[01:43] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, the resolution seem to be supported so what I am thinking/guessing is that the monitor values are a bit off. Try to set VertRefresh to 60.
[01:43] <h1st0> mptech: I'm wondering if you could just use the fiesty cd and change the repos kinda but Ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:43] <MrMist> erUSUL: The conversion isn't the real issue though. I'd like to extract the raw sound-file
[01:43] <erUSUL> smileymoo: how log it will take to do what?
[01:43] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, ok, good luck :)
[01:43] <mptech> h1st0, even when trying to install feisty though, the install hangs with the feisty installer
[01:43] <erUSUL> smileymoo: the mount should have been almos instantaneus
[01:44] <rambo3> fiesty + debootstrap
[01:44] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi yes it seems EDID gets the wrong information about how big resolution it can take
[01:44] <SmileyLap> hum
[01:44] <erUSUL> MrMist: grip can do it or cdparanoia (cli)
[01:44] <h1st0> mptech: please join #ubuntu+1 for fiesty help.  If you want edgy help I can try to help you or other can in here.
[01:44] <SmileyLap> smileymoo:
[01:44] <tulga> my NTFS partition not working. then I use 6.10, then mounted ntfs. then I can see datas in /dev/hda1 partition. howto restore ntfs partition from 6.10?
[01:44] <mptech> h1st0, I do need edgy help
[01:45] <h1st0> mptech: okay well what is going on?
[01:45] <mptech> h1st0, I need an installer with a newer kernel
[01:45] <rambo3> mptech, use alternative cd
[01:45] <mptech> rambo3, I am
[01:45] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi so its something crashing in there, but i have no idea what. And it was the same problem on gentoo. But works on winblows
[01:45] <h1st0> rambo3: alternate cd doesn't have a newer kernel.
[01:46] <rambo3> h1st0, fiesty one doesnt have newer kernel?
[01:46] <rambo3> thats wierd
[01:46] <mptech> rambo3, the fiesty installer hangs for me, so that's not an option
[01:46] <gugu^> PLEASE HELP, i whant to install HP LaserJet 1018, i have folowed instruction form http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ but when i whant to compile it gives me an error!
[01:46] <h1st0> rambo3: yeah it does.  But thats not alternate iso
[01:47] <erUSUL> gugu^: Does system>admin>printers fail for you? why?
[01:47] <rambo3> mptech, where does it hang , do you have loggs
[01:47] <mptech> rambo3, after it downloads additional installer components (I used the minimal install), it hangs when trying to detect hardware
[01:47] <predaeus> tulga: you mean the ntfs partition is not being mounted automatically, but it works when you mount it yourself?
[01:48] <smileymoo> erUSUL: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[01:48] <smileymoo>        missing codepage or other error
[01:48] <smileymoo> :O
[01:48] <smileymoo> could it be fat32? is that the right type?
[01:48] <gugu^> erUSUL, on this site says DON'T USE the foo2zjs package from Ubuntu, i must dowloaded from there
[01:48] <tulga> predaeus: no it is mounted. but I cannot start windows. because cannot detect my disk
[01:49] <Lynoure> mptech: If the feisty (non-released) installer does not work for you, why not install with an older kernel and then, if you really need a newer one, get it from somewhere or if you need to, compile your own?
[01:49] <erUSUL> smileymoo: could it be yes i was assuming it was a winXP+ntfs install if it is fat32 use vfat as filetype
[01:49] <tulga> other system cannot detect partition is ntfs. only ubuntu can detect it is ntfs. where is problem?
[01:50] <MrMist> erUSUL: is cdparanoia the way to go?
[01:50] <mptech> Lynoure, I would rather not make my own installer.  The problem is that my motherboard doesn't play well with older kernel versions
[01:50] <mptech> I have an asus p5b deluxe
[01:50] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, the "nvidia" driver is the correct one for your card. you should have the kernel restricted drivers for it installed as well. "out of range" in the monitor suggest that some values in xorg.conf are wrong or incorrectly autodetected. that's all I can say atm without looking at your xorg.conf file. VertRefresh 60 is to be considered a safe value for all LCD screens (they all support that frequency). so forcing it to 60 might w
[01:50] <Jowi> ork. that's all I can say at this time.
[01:51] <erUSUL> MrMist: grip uses it under the hoods and other ripping programs do it too...
[01:51] <Lynoure> mptech: I said use some existing installer that does not hang for you. Not that you should make your own installer. Or are you saying all installers hang on your system?
[01:51] <windwalker> Hi all, can somebody tell me to compile cups 1.2.8 properly for ubuntu. I mean the ./configure options. I am having really bad times with my Konika Minolta 1400W
[01:51] <predaeus> tulga: what happens when you boot? do you get the menu with the option to boot ubuntu or windows?
[01:51] <gugu^> erUSUL, can you help me?
[01:51] <tulga> no. I cannot get boot
[01:51] <MrMist> erUSUL: cool. I kinda' like to have the control myself :) Love the small apps that only does what I'm asking fore, and not everything else :)
[01:52] <predaeus> it just boots into ubuntu all the time?
[01:52] <h1st0> tulga: what is your native language?
[01:52] <tulga> english
[01:52] <[MINE] Devy> Jowi yes ive tried to force it to 60 but it just wont work but im transfering the config file to this puter now. can u explain the pastebin I got no clue what that are
[01:52] <mptech> Lynoure, while edgy installers work fine, they can't detect my hardware correctly
[01:52] <francois> !pastebin
[01:52] <mptech> due to the fact that they have old kernels
[01:52] <Jowi> [MINE] Devy, plenty of xorg.conf examples using 1600x1200 with your card when I did a simple google search so the resolution/driver combination is fine

[01:55] <cisforcojo> hey guys, could someone please help me disable tapping on my ALPS touchpad?
[01:55] <Jarhead756> does anyone here use lynx?
[01:56] <cisforcojo> i have hotplugging scripts but i'm not quite sure how to use them
[01:56] <mptech> Lynoure, http://pastecode.com/15752
[01:56] <Lynoure> mptech: Actually, if you do not need to use ubuntu, why not just use sid? (Sorry, I'm a cross-distro person, and like Debian a lot)
[01:56] <erUSUL> gugu^: have you instaled build-essential ?? 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[01:56] <h1st0> cisforcojo: http://scottcollins.net/blog/2006/01/disable-touchpad-tap-in-kubuntubreezy.html
[01:56] <mptech> Lynoure, I love debian.  But I want to give ubuntu a shot
[01:56] <Jarhead756> why is lynx so slow?
[01:57] <h1st0> cisforcojo: google is your friend
[01:57] <mptech> Lynoure, and even though I can find my way around the CLI and get things to work in Debian, a bit of JustWorksTM action is always welcome
[01:57] <mptech> ;-)
[01:57] <cisforcojo> h1st0: i know, been looking at a lot of howtos but none have worked so far
[01:57] <gugu^> erUSUL, no, i install now
[01:57] <cisforcojo> mostly using qsynaptics
[01:58] <h1st0> cisforcojo: yeah that page I sent you explains that other things didn't work for him and he posted what did.
[01:58] <cisforcojo> alright thanks
[01:58] <h1st0> first google result to.
[01:58] <Lazergunz_> 'Afternoon
[01:58] <cisforcojo> off the top of your head is there a dev for the touchpad? i'm using /dev/psaux in xorg.conf but that's not working right
[01:59] <h1st0> cisforcojo: dev wacom or something like that.
[01:59] <Lcarsdata2> I am looking for a ubuntu precompiled version of samba. I was referred here from #samba
[01:59] <h1st0> cisforcojo: if you look in xorg it should be loaded there.  stylus etc... aare all in there.
[01:59] <cisforcojo> the difficult part is my xorg.conf NEVER had a touchpad section. I had to add it. It only had the wacom drivers (but my touchpad still worked)
[01:59] <rambo3> mptech, i just checked and it looks like bug for you motherboard is still open in edgy
[01:59] <Lcarsdata2> I can't use the synaptic thing because I have no net connection
[01:59] <Lynoure> mptech: I understand. I hope things work out for you eventually. You tried at #ubuntu+1 about feisty hanging already? And/or reported a bug on that?
[01:59] <h1st0> Lcarsdata2: packages.ubuntu.com
[01:59] <Lcarsdata2> ok, thanks
[01:59] <Jarhead756> why doesn't lynx work right? it is really slow and even google won't work.
[02:00] <thcmonkey> anyone able to help me with ubuntu to xp ics?

[02:02] <Jarhead756> Lcarsdata2: dapper drake
[02:02] <Lcarsdata2> ok
[02:02] <thcmonkey> dapper?
[02:02] <Lcarsdata2> thanks
[02:02] <Lcarsdata2> I don't think its drapper
[02:02] <thcmonkey> it is dapper
[02:02] <Jarhead756> Lcarsdata2: its what i use, untill feisty comes out, i may use it. but i'm sure 6.06 is dapper.
[02:02] <cisforcojo> h1st0: no dice
[02:02] <cisforcojo> here is a problem
[02:03] <Lcarsdata2> ok
[02:03] <thcmonkey> jarhead - you're right
[02:03] <cisforcojo> Xorg.0.log:  Alps Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2
[02:03] <cisforcojo> (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
[02:03] <Lcarsdata2> thanks all
[02:04] <cisforcojo> but: cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows the touchpad as on event 4
[02:04] <Jarhead756> sudo apt-get update
[02:04] <Jarhead756> sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:04] <Jarhead756> oh, sorry, wrong box ;)
[02:05] <craigbass1976> I've set up iscan (to use our new fancy schmancy Epson printer/scanner) but I can only scan as root (or by sudoing)  I've gone into /etc/hotplug/usb/iscan-device and gave ownership tp lp user and lp group, which my wife and I are both members of.  Still no love.  Any ideas?
[02:05] <agliv> Greetings all :) does anyone know of a good guide to mounting local HD from a LiveCD? or perhaps know the mount options off hand?
[02:05] <craigbass1976> Well, my wife still loves me, but the scanner doesn't.
[02:06] <Jarhead756> which one is the gest, gtk gnuttella, or frostwire?
[02:06] <craigbass1976> agliv, mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt  will put and ntfs partition into /mnt for you
[02:07] <Jarhead756> agliv: what version are you using?
[02:07] <cisforcojo> Jarhead: i prefer frostwire
[02:07] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: why is that?
[02:07] <Lcarsdata2> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/samba - what do I download?
[02:07] <rambo3> craigbass1976, obvious trace thing would be to start scaning program from command line and see whats the problem
[02:08] <cisforcojo> well to be honest, never used gnutella but frostwire is a lot less resource heavy than limewire so i prefer it
[02:08] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: gotcha
[02:08] <cisforcojo> if you choose it though, you have to modify a config file
[02:08] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: frostwire that is? why is that?
[02:09] <cisforcojo> the developers consider it a 'minor' bug but it doesn't let you use it after installing!
[02:09] <cisforcojo> yeah
[02:09] <cisforcojo> they're going to fix it in the next version
[02:09] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: thats major, if you ask me.
[02:09] <cisforcojo> yeah most people agree
[02:09] <cisforcojo> what will happen is it won't ever connect to the network
[02:09] <gugu^> erUSUL, can you see this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8366/
[02:09] <cisforcojo> that's the bug
[02:09] <Lcarsdata2> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/samba - what do I download?
[02:09] <cisforcojo> if you choose frostwire, i can give you my config file so you can use it
[02:09] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: i remember trying it when i first started linux, and i never could connect.
[02:10] <cisforcojo> all it is is a list of servers
[02:10] <cisforcojo> yep thats why
[02:10] <SmileyLap> Hum

[02:12] <provolone6787> but when i install it
[02:12] <Jarhead756> provolone6787: i don't know much about source, maybe a dependecy wasn't met

[02:18] <cisforcojo> Jarhead you there?
[02:18] <Jarhead756> so frostwire supports bittorrent? is it any good?
[02:18] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: yes
[02:18] <Lcarsdata2> and only have one reciver usb stick
[02:18] <cisforcojo> so you can't receive files on your terminal client?
[02:18] <linxeh> Lcarsdata2: you dont need samba for that - samba is for sharing files between windows and linux
[02:18] <john> any takers
[02:18] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: i have no clue, give it a try
[02:18] <cisforcojo> been forever since I did that. used to use BitchX back in the day

[02:18] <amena> linxeh: no sorry. I mean I just want to activate that feature somehow. through the command line
[02:18] <linxeh> Lcarsdata2: you need to enable internet connection sharing on the Windows PC, and then configure ubuntu to use your windows machine as its gateway
[02:18] <cisforcojo> sending
[02:19] <SmileyLap> linxeh: v3.
[02:19] <linxeh> amena: well you can start it with /etc/init.d/vncserver if you already have it installed
[02:19] <Jarhead756> agliv: go to your system, administration, disk mangaer, got that far yet?
[02:19] <cisforcojo> just replace this file with the original gnutella.net in ~/.frostwire
[02:19] <linxeh> john: what about disk manager ?
[02:19] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: what will happen? will something pop up for me?
[02:19] <john> is that installed by default
[02:19] <john> disk manager?
[02:19] <Lcarsdata> linxeh: sorry, bad wifi
[02:20] <amena> linxeh: no such thing. it is a resident gnome app. but I will search more before asking here again (so I can explain exactly what I mean)
[02:20] <Lcarsdata> what should I do then
[02:20] <agliv> Jarhead756: device manager or disks?
[02:20] <amena> linxeh: thanks for trying to help :)
[02:20] <Jarhead756> agliv: disks to mount it.
[02:21] <linxeh> amena: it might be vino then
[02:21] <Jarhead756> agliv: for example, create you a folder on your desktop call mount, then within disks manager find your drive that you want to mount. then within the options select mount point, mount it to /home/yourname/Desktop/mount
[02:21] <cisforcojo> Jarhead: i guess nothing will happen
[02:21] <cisforcojo> it's been sitting idly for me in xchat for about 2 mins
[02:22] <Jarhead756> agliv: then mount it, easy.
[02:22] <cisforcojo> alright... tell you what. msg me your email and i'll send it

[02:32] <erUSUL> gugu^: i said that the thing you paosted seems a harmless warning...
[02:35] <fdr> hello, I would like to give Feisty a try, where can I find it, please? thanks!
[02:35] <gugu^> erUSUL, yes, but is not working
[02:35] <rambo3> fdr #ubuntu+1
[02:35] <fdr> rambo3, you mean I should ask for a download url in that channel?
[02:36] <rambo3> fdr read topic in that channel first
[02:36] <sladen> cisforcojo: Ad Hoc mode is for when there's no Access Point/router
[02:36] <Jarhead756> agliv: good job agliv so what are you needing to do?
[02:36] <fdr> rambo3, got it, thank you :)
[02:36] <anonymeeee> anyone familiar with bit torrent?
[02:36] <Jarhead756> anonymeeee: ...
[02:37] <sladen> anonymeeee: just ask
[02:37] <anonymeeee> ok...sorry...gotta stupid question
[02:37] <Jarhead756> anonymeeee: this is a linux distro channel, we um...like free stuff.
[02:37] <agliv> Jarhead756: that's a very long story... but at the moment I want to burn some data from the HD to a CD... currently trying to get k3b installed properly ;)
[02:37] <anonymeeee> the file search tab has disapeared...
[02:37] <cisforcojo> sladen: yea i kno
[02:38] <Jarhead756> agliv: k3b is alright, gnomebaker's good too
[02:38] <Chai_Sangeen> hello everybody
[02:38] <fotofl0> hmm I messed up when installing postfix - there was a dos-like installer (you know, the screen turns blue with ASCII borders)  and then i picked a wrong option. i just apt-get remove and apt-get clean -ed it but when i reinstall, it dosnt take me back to that dos-like installer
[02:38] <fotofl0> any suggestions?
[02:38] <nyc-h0st> hi all, i'm trying to mirror my system hard drive to a second one, they are exactly the same size, speed, etc, in a sense i'm trying to do a software raid, anyone know how to do this?
[02:38] <anonymeeee> how do I search for torrents if there's no search tab
[02:38] <anonymeeee> ?
[02:39] <erikja> !rip >erikja
[02:39] <erUSUL> gugu^: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart'
[02:39] <agliv> Jarhead756: I like k3b or nero4linux best... just have to work out all the dependencies ;)
[02:39] <gugu^> erUSUL, when i go to System-Adminstration-Printing, and put add printer in that list my H 1018 is not
[02:40] <Jarhead756> agliv: never tried nero4linux, do you know if that supports lightscribe?
[02:40] <CpuID2> nerolinux is rather basic
[02:40] <CpuID2> nowhere near the state of nero for windows
[02:40] <sladen> anonymeeee: bittorrent doesn't actually support searching for files;  normally that is done via a website, then downloading the '.torrent', then using bittorrent with that '.torrent' file to get the download
[02:40] <CpuID2> but it burns :)
[02:41] <gugu^> erUSUL, and i try`d this  'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart' and is not working
[02:41] <Jarhead756> sladen: use torrentspy.com, thats a good one.
[02:41] <sladen> anonymeeee: perhaps the graphical Client you are using (BitTornado, GnomeTorrent?) has a search feature that uses one of these websites, but the website is down
[02:41] <sladen> Jarhead756: anonymeeee is the person who is having difficulties
[02:42] <Jarhead756> sladen: oh, yeah, little confused
[02:42] <compwiz18> hallo
[02:42] <agliv> Jarhead756: I'm sorry, I don't... have more expierence with k3b...
[02:42] <Jarhead756> anonymeeee: use torrentspy.com, its a good site, download the torrentfile, open it with bittorent.
[02:42] <erUSUL> gugu^: gugu^ i do not know what went wrong... maybe you should ask in the forums linked in http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
[02:42] <Jarhead756> agliv: i use k3b because it is sorta integrated with amarok.
[02:42] <agliv> anonymeeee: you search for torrents in your web browser via google for exapmle...
[02:42] <compwiz18> I've got a Python question, anyone feel up to it?
[02:43] <Jarhead756> compwiz18: what is your python questoin?
[02:43] <gugu^> erUSUL, ok thx
[02:43] <SmileyLap> hey, rambo3 ?
[02:43] <agliv> Jarhead756: never heard of amarok...
[02:43] <rambo3> ?
[02:43] <Lynoure> compwiz18: if it is about Python and not Python in ubuntu, #python is more fruitful place.
[02:43] <SmileyLap> i followed the instructions on that site, ndiswrapper says the hardware is tehre and the driver is installed. yet the card doesn't light up :?
[02:43] <agliv> anonymeeee: what are you looking for / trying / wanting to download?
[02:43] <anonymeeee> well before i rebooted my box there were two tabs, one for downloads one for search...now there's only one
[02:44] <Jarhead756> agliv: its a music player, the best out there, if you like k3b, you'll love amarok, give it a try, but there are like 100mb of dependencies if you don't already have kde base
[02:44] <compwiz18> Jarhead756: when I'm using threads in a class, and I set a variable via self.variable, the thread stops executing...could you tell me why that is?
[02:44] <SmileyLap> infact rambo3, it now doesn't show up in network devices ?
[02:44] <compwiz18> Lynoure: i know, but you people are more friendly
[02:44] <anonymeeee> I'm looking for a particular software program that I need
[02:44] <agliv> anonymeeee: who cares if there is no search tab integrated, you get more and better results if you use google or a seperate web-based search englne
[02:45] <Jarhead756> compwiz18: oh, i don't know a thing about python, i was just getting you to ask your question, that way maybe someone else can answer it. :)
[02:45] <agliv> anonymeeee:  then type in google: "name of programm" + torrent
[02:45] <compwiz18> Jarhead756: ok, I'll go try my luck on the #python channel...I hope they aren't mean over there :P
[02:45] <kane77>  /join #python
[02:45] <kane77>  /join #python
[02:45] <agliv> anonymeeee: I'm sure you'll find lot's of results...
[02:45] <kane77> heh, sry
[02:46] <anonymeeee> I figured it out....I needed to restart the pluggins
[02:46] <fotofl0> how do i uninstall a package so that the system has no trace it was ever installed?
[02:46] <anonymeeee> huh...what do I do with it when I find it in google?
[02:47] <agliv> Jarhead756: my sound card isn't working yet so I haven't looked into music players for my system...
[02:47] <riven> this ubuntu install is driving me mad :(
[02:47] <anonymeeee> do I use ktorrent do download it once I find it in google?
[02:47] <agliv> riven: me too ;) what's your problem?
[02:47] <riven> agliv: its freezing at the partioning
[02:48] <fotofl0> can anyone help me? i need to uninstall a package, and leave no trace that it was ever there
[02:48] <agliv> anonymeeee: you found a torrent for the program you are looking for?
[02:48] <michael117> yes
[02:48] <bronze> fotofl0: apt-get remove, but it isn't known if all traces will be removed. it is not a security program
[02:48] <rambo3> SmileyLap,i raly cant help you on that card , not only does it use ndiswrapper . that is just temporery (beta) solution, but windows drivers aint that good.
[02:49] <Lynoure> bronze: no, it does not remove even the configurations
[02:49] <fotofl0> bronze: no luck... cause when i apt-get install the package after apt-get removing it, it dosnt run a setup program like it did the first time
[02:49] <agliv> riven: try using a GParted liveCD or updating GParted before installing... 2nd option is better... understand?
[02:49] <albacker> how can i enable direct rendering with intel inside graphics i810 ? i used to use 3ddesktop, but after alt+ctrl+bckspc i cant use it anymore... anyone ?
[02:49] <fotofl0> Lynoure: how do i get rid of the configureations?'
[02:49] <Jarhead756> cisforcojo: i can't get frostwire to work, i went to java.com and downloaded jre 1.5.11, or something like that, installed it, and it just won't work, frostwire still says it is missing
[02:49] <SmileyLap> rambo3: .... great :/
[02:49] <michael117> anonymeeee: Yes, or azureus or deluge or whatever
[02:49] <francois> fotofl0: sudo apt-get remove --purge
[02:49] <Lynoure> fotofl0: Why do you want there to be no trace?
[02:49] <compwiz18> fotofl0: sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGE_NAME
[02:50] <agliv> anonymeeee: azureus is way better than ktorrent in my oppinion, but not the version in the repositories, but the newest from their homepage ;)
[02:50] <Lynoure> compwiz18: That still leaves something, in most cases, if you think about what other things apt-get can do, you'll figure it out. :)
[02:51] <riven> agliv: so just use gpart to make the partions the way I want it, bypassing the ubuntu partioner
[02:51] <anonymeeee> i couldn't get azureus installed...
[02:51] <anonymeeee> ktorrent is working for me
[02:51] <fotofl0> compwiz: great, thansk
[02:52] <hairulfr> Hey all, if I wanna install feisty, how do I keep all my usersettings from Edgy? What do I need to copy? (If it can be done at all)
[02:52] <netsrot> got "error initializing HAL" when I installed recommended updates, what is that anyhow?
[02:53] <anonymeeee> azureus is difficult to install...i've noticed other people struggling with it here too
[02:53] <lynucs> the package is too buggy of azureus
[02:53] <riven> I find bit torrent to be a lot better then azureus on my windows machine
[02:53] <anonymeeee> i hadn't heard of deluge though
[02:54] <lynucs> but you can use automatix2 to install azureus.. very easy and works for me excellent
[02:54] <lynucs> or read the wiki :D
[02:54] <Lynoure> fotofl0: that does still leave a mild trace. But you can figure out what.
[02:54] <agliv> riven: in a word... yes
[02:55] <Jeruvy> netsrot: hardware abstration layer
[02:55] <SmileyLap> To compile my own programs, what packages do i need guys?
[02:55] <agliv> riven: torrent is my favorite on windows
[02:55] <anonymeeee> ok so I found a site on google that has what I want
[02:55] <albacker> CAN someone help me with direct renderin
[02:55] <anonymeeee> how do I get it into ktorrent?
[02:55] <albacker> it used to work but now it doesn't anymore...
[02:56] <vince_> hi all
[02:56] <raven3x7> does anone know if its possible to run sauerbraten on amd64/
[02:56] <raven3x7> ?
[02:57] <SmileyLap> To compile my own programs, what packages do i need guys?
[02:57] <X_Force> what do you mean ?
[02:57] <X_Force> "own program"
[02:57] <X_Force> which programming language?
[02:58] <agliv> riven:  anonymeeee: there is no doubt that azureus isn't the best bittorrent client for windows, and it ties up system memory; however, under Linux, I haven't found a bittorrent client that I liked as much... and I've downloaded over 100GB trying different clients
[02:58] <riven> agliv: when I get ubuntu working, I will give it a shot
[02:59] <SmileyLap> X_Force: such as a driver for my broadcom card...
[02:59] <SmileyLap> it says "make"
[02:59] <SmileyLap> :/
[02:59] <SmileyLap> i got make, automake, and autoconf.... anything else i need?
[02:59] <Jarhead756> i download java from the java.com site, installed it, and it doesn't fix my problem, i know how to fix it, how can i remove it? it was a .x86 file.
[02:59] <Azoff> hello
[03:00] <agliv> riven: make sure to complie your self!!! newest dependencies and everything then read the wiki about the best settings... there are a lot of advanced settings that make it pur like a kitten when tuned right ;)
[03:00] <albacker> guys can someone help me to enable direct rendering ? i had already enabled it, i was using 3ddesktop, after i restarted X it's not enabled anymore, glxinfo | grep rendering gives that its not enabled, and i cant start 3ddesktop anymore.. im using intel inside graphics i810.. can someone help me please ?!
[03:00] <agliv> anonymeeee: if you don't address you questions to me then I might miss your post...
[03:01] <Azoff> I am new too the ubuntu init, but is it possible to remove those numbers infront of stuff the kernel prints? currently, they are prefixed with [\d{8}\.\d{6}]  when running without quiet
[03:01] <egon> hi all
[03:01] <raven3x7> agliv: eve on widows the only competitive client is utorrent imo
[03:01] <raven3x7> even
[03:02] <agliv> anonymeeee: you first save the *.torrent file to somewhere on your HD (don't worry it's just a reference file that is fairly small)...
[03:02] <anonymeeee> agliv: sorry..
[03:02] <anonymeeee> agliv you've been very helpful thank you!
[03:03] <Narqulie> Hey.. I keep getting this weird Gcc error when I'm trying to ./configure anything.. What should I do?
[03:03] <raven3x7> Narqulie, you got build-essential installed?
[03:03] <agliv> raven3x7: never tried eve... I must admidt that I am unsatisfied by the configuration options of torrent; however, do not have the time to try out others at the moment... don't fix a running machine ;)
[03:04] <X_Force> Narquilie what is the error mesage?
[03:04] <enano> Hi! I'm getting this error when I try to load X, "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia. Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module". Ive googled it, but cant really find any useful info, hope any of you can help me out! Thanks!
[03:04] <Narqulie> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[03:04] <Narqulie> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[03:04] <agliv> anonymeeee: is it working?   Are we Green?
[03:05] <raven3x7> agliv, i meant "even on windows". sorry. Now you got me confused though what client on windows is better than bot utorrent and azureus?
[03:05] <anonymeeee> agliv I figured out that if i click on the torrent to download it automatically asks if I want to open it with ktorrent...
[03:05] <raven3x7> Narqulie, sudo apt-get built-essental
[03:05] <raven3x7> Narqulie, sudo apt-get built-essential
[03:06] <euphoria_> hi all
[03:06] <Narqulie> Ok, let's try it
[03:06] <anonymeeee> ...and goes thru the steps of downloading the torrent in the directory on my drive etc...
[03:06] <agliv> raven3x7: azeurus is not best under windows, but Linux in my opinion... what do you think is the best windows client?
[03:06] <anonymeeee> thank you again for your help!
[03:06] <raven3x7> Narqulie, that should install gcc because ubuntu does not install it by default
[03:06] <agliv> anonymeeee: STOP SENDING UNADDRESSED MESSAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:07] <anonymeeee> agliv; I really like this chat room, people here are really generous with help
[03:07] <anonymeeee> agliv: thank you again for your help!
[03:07] <joe234556> hi
[03:07] <agliv> anonymeeee: Thank you :)
[03:08] <riven> agliv: gpart isn't working on my other machine, goes through loading process, and when it goes to load graphics, it shuts off.
[03:08] <joe234556> anyone here that can tell me why i wouldnt be able to access my webserver at home from my ubuntu install, located somewhere else, other nodes on the same network as my ubuntu machine, can access it fine
[03:08] <raven3x7> agliv, i would say its a tie between azureus and utorrent depending on if you prefer configuration options or low resource usage
[03:08] <joe234556> also to help slim down possibilities, i can access it when i use a proxy
[03:08] <agliv> riven: your other machine?
[03:08] <X_Force> enano : try a sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:08] <greek_> hi everyone
[03:08] <riven> agliv: yes, I have another machine beside me
[03:08] <greek_> is it easy to set ubuntu for a server?
[03:08] <mojo> greek_: damm easy
[03:09] <mojo> greek_: install LAMP
[03:09] <tarzeau> anyeone play bub-n-bros with me? is really funny http://www.linuks.mine.nu/people/bubnbros/bubtoomuch2full.png
[03:09] <mojo> greek_: LAMP = Linux + Apache2 + MySQL + PHP to become webserver
[03:09] <elkbuntu> !offtopic | tarzeau
[03:09] <ubotu> tarzeau: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:09] <yurimxpxman> hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 and when I used to open KDE applications in GNOME, like Amarok, they would work with the system tray. But ever since I installed the rest of the core KDE files, the KDE app system tray icons have been opening as a new window under GNOME. Any ideas why this could be? 0_o
[03:09] <mojo> greek_: you can install proFTPd to make it FTP server
[03:09] <flo_> isit posible to connect 2 ubuntu pc in a network only with a usb cable?
[03:09] <greek_> mojo: i just want to set up a home server just for smb and ftp access when i'm at uni
[03:10] <agliv> raven3x7: yeah, your probably right... and I should probably take the time to configure azureus on my WinDOOF box; however, I don't have the time at the moment.... 3 parallel system installs, and none working correctly...
[03:10] <mojo> greek_: easier, using Synaptic, search for NFS and Samba, get them installed and set them up
[03:10] <agliv> riven: another machine besides "you"? are you an android?
[03:10] <agliv> ;)
[03:10] <egon> have somone here installed Enemy Territory on their machine?
[03:10] <joe234556> anyone here that can tell me why i wouldnt be able to access my webserver at home from my ubuntu install, located somewhere else, other nodes on the same network as my ubuntu machine, can access it fine
[03:10] <mojo> greek_: for detail, dun ask me you have to work it out urself by reading doc, it's tedious process
[03:10] <joe234556> also to help slim down possibilities, i can access it when i use a proxy
[03:11] <riven> agliv: I might just be :)
[03:11] <Jeruvy> what would be the best way to export my mail folders in evolution to import in another installation?
[03:11] <raven3x7> agliv lol i know the feeling. i finally got ubuntu working fine at the moment.
[03:11] <cisforcojo> anyone here good with hotplugging scripts?
[03:11] <albacker> GUUYS have you heard about GDM restarting X ? ! i mean, it changed the driver back to i810 from flgrx [im not sure if its this] , after i reboot or anything.. what to do, to save my /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?!
[03:11] <agliv> raven3x7: are we Green?
[03:11] <greek_> mojo: will i be able to remove the monitor ? and how will i have to connect to it without monitor attached to my server?
[03:11] <yurimxpxman> Jeruvy: just copy your ~/.evolution directory
[03:11] <raven3x7> Green?
[03:11] <enano> X_Force: it says "command not found"
[03:12] <Jeruvy> yurimxpxman: that's it?  nice thx.
[03:12] <raven3x7> aglet, Green?
[03:12] <agliv> raven3x7: haven't you seen "The Fifth Element" ?
[03:12] <jdphill> ?
[03:12] <yurimxpxman> hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 and when I used to open KDE applications in GNOME, like Amarok, they would work with the system tray. But ever since I installed the rest of the core KDE files, the KDE app system tray icons have been opening as a new window under GNOME. Any ideas why this could be? 0_o
[03:12] <agliv> raven3x7: I'm a film freak, you have to know....
[03:13] <cisforcojo> has anyone successfully disabled ALPS touchpad tapping?
[03:13] <agliv> yurimxpxman: why did you install the rest of the core KDE files?
[03:13] <hairulfr> yurimxpxman: Works fine here without the, probably cos of the core files it doesn't work :P7
[03:13] <yurimxpxman> agliv: Because I'm trying to get used to KDE because my friends like it
[03:13] <dtolj> Hi all, question: is it possible to install and use Edgy packages in Dapper?
[03:13] <mojo> greek_: yes, you can remove the monitor, w/o monitor, the only thing you can control ur server from far is via SSH, you can install SSH by install SSH SERVER package on ur server
[03:13] <raven3x7> agliv, i have. a long time ago though. cant remember much about. cept milla yovovich(dunno if i typed that correctly) ;)
[03:13] <hairulfr> yurimxpxman: Eew, who want's kde
[03:13] <TheVault> I got a quick question. I guess you could say that this does relate to ubuntu. Anyway, I have been fiddling around with Linux for the paste few days(Ubuntu 6.10) on my laptop(which I should not because thats my primary computer). Anyway, I wanna setup linux on my desktop, problem being is that, I have a built in CD burner, not a DVD burner but I have a external one and I wanna be able to...
[03:14] <TheVault> ...boot 6.10 using my external DVD drive, is there a way for me to change the boot options under windows so I can install ubuntu?
[03:14] <agliv> yurimxpxman: but if it was working before, then why install extra features?
[03:14] <agliv> raven3x7: she was HOT in that movie ;)
[03:15] <yurimxpxman> agliv: The KDE /apps/ were working before, but I did not have the KDE base installed. I installed the rest of KDE so I could login to it and try to force myself to like it (but I still don't, to be honest).
[03:15] <davef> hi
[03:15] <dtolj> TheVault: not sure what you mean u mean the boot loader?
[03:15] <raven3x7> agliv and still is most of the time
[03:15] <Narqulie> Ok.. What else am I missing?. I got the essentials installed, and now the configure is whining about missing python headers... ?
[03:15] <fabius71> hi all..I'd like to install a openwebmail server on my ubuntu edgy for test purposes.. is there a way for that from apt ?
[03:16] <joe234556> wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[03:16] <joe234556> what sorts of things can cause that error?
[03:16] <dtolj> Narqulie: for what?
[03:16] <joe234556> corrupt drivers maybe?
[03:16] <Narqulie> for .&configuring anything
[03:16] <Narqulie> */
[03:16] <TheVault> dtojl: Right now I have windows xp on my desktop which I am going to replace with Ubuntu 6.10(for now anyway). Anyway, I have a built in CD burner/reader that won't read the DVD that has Ubuntu on it, but I have an external DVD reader/burner that I would like to boot up first so I can install Ubuntu when I first turn my PC on
[03:17] <drewzf> When I fdisk -l I show /dev/hdd1, an NTFS drive, but I can't mount it. "mount: special device /dev/hdd1 does not exist" Any ideas/suggestions?
[03:17] <raven3x7> yurimxpxman, thats weird actually. on amd64 i also have a full kde install and it works with the gnome panel
[03:17] <euphoria_> can help me, when im start beryl-manager im have this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8383/
[03:17] <mcscruff> lo all
[03:17] <raven3x7> Narqulie, apt-get python-devel i think
[03:17] <Narqulie> Thanks again Raven ^_^
[03:18] <raven3x7> Narqulie, what are you trying to build anyway
[03:18] <riven> agliv: any idea why gparted would get through command line loading, but go black when it hits graphical interface?
[03:18] <Narqulie> Raven: well, Anything really :)
[03:18] <euphoria_> my xorg.conf are: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8388/
[03:18] <yurimxpxman> Does anyone else have a clue of what could cause KDE apps to open notification icons in a window under GNOME?
[03:18] <egon> If " glxinfo | grep rendering" return "Direct rendering:Yes" does it mean that drivers are ok?
[03:19] <joe234556> anyone here that can tell me why i wouldnt be able to access my webserver at home from my ubuntu install, located somewhere else, other nodes on the same network as my ubuntu machine, can access it fine
[03:19] <joe234556> also to help slim down possibilities, i can access it when i use a proxy
[03:19] <raven3x7> for anything that is in ubuntu repo you can also do apt-get built-dep program
[03:19] <agliv> raven3x7: anyway Chris Rock plays the eccentric disk-jokey "Ruby Rod" and he is always concerned about how good his show is and uses "Green" as a measurement of quality / comprehension / and understanding... i.e. Super Green is very high quality and are we green means do you understand or do you agree or is everything good, Green? (now you are supposed to answer....? fill in the blank if everything is ok ;)
[03:19] <dtolj> TheVault: so why dosnt it boot? maybe you need to make it bootable in BIOS your external
[03:19] <euphoria_> direct rendering: Yes
[03:19] <uksprout> hi running 6.10 can anyone tell me how I go about installing and using a tape drive
[03:20] <agliv> riven: did you compile it yourself? or did you just use the package manager?
[03:20] <Isarl> Hi everyone - does anybody know how to get NetworkManager working?  I'm not sure what's going wrong with mine...
[03:20] <abo> maven is complaining that JAVA_HOME is not defined, I dont' want to define JAVA_HOME, I want to keep it the way ubuntu manages the different JREs , anyone can help?
[03:20] <Lynoure> joe234556: I'm not sure I get you right. You have a webserver at home, and the world can access it fine but when you take your ubuntu laptop out into the world, it cannot?
[03:20] <Isarl> that is, I can install it and it appears in the panel, but wireless networks aren't listed.
