[04:25] <biggy2> hey can someone help me with some issues i'm having with my rtl realtek 8139 ethernet card not being detected?
[04:25] <demon_spork> sethk, just remember to not let your foot get near the power cable on USB hdds, because unless they are running ext3 or reiser, you are effed the moment you interrupt a big file transfer
[04:26] <demon_spork> I got lucky this time
[04:26] <Shuggle> jnascimento: it fixes itsself in a few seoconds
[04:26] <misslecommander_> Shuggle: i tried quite a few things, i am working on it. i
[04:26] <LogicalDash> I installed IcedTea and it's running Java archives just fine, but it also gave me a launcher for IcedTea Java Web Start, which doesn't seem to actually exist.
[04:26] <jnascimento> shuggle: try anothers frequency governors
[04:26] <sethk> demon_spork, yes, that's why I always run only journaling file systems.  reiser has not been reliable for me, but ext3 is reasonably resiliant
[04:26] <jnascimento> shuggle: the one your are using problably is not apropriated for you
[04:26] <Shuggle> jnascimento: huh? monitor frequency? I have a laptop.
[04:27] <jnascimento> shuggle: frequency governor
[04:27] <misslecommander_> jnascimento: yes, that does work better, i have found that to be true on my machine. changing Hz on monitor seems to lessen the chance
[04:27] <biggy2> if anyone can help me it would be appreciated
[04:27] <pdavid> anyone else not able to get the xserver-xorg-core update?
[04:27] <demon_spork> sethk, sadly though I have to use the hdd on windows computers so I can't put ext on it unless I want to install the IFS drivers on all of them
[04:27] <misslecommander_> thats why i will be working on monitor fix, i thingk its miscalculating hZ or something
[04:28] <sethk> demon_spork, yes, I know, fact of life.
[04:28] <demon_spork> I am trying to get my family to switch over to Ubuntu
[04:28] <Shuggle> jnascimento: what do i need to do?
[04:28] <CokEz> if i hace 1.5 gb of free space will that effect my performance
[04:28] <CokEz> have*
[04:28] <pdavid> I'm getting a 403 Forbidden when trying to DL that package update....
[04:28] <demon_spork> pdavid, everyone else is as well :(
[04:29] <demon_spork> pdavid, which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[04:29] <pdavid> demon_spork thanks, just wantd to make sure it wasn't me :)
[04:29] <ghosTM55> bazhang: there?
[04:29] <pdavid> ummm, gutsy
[04:29] <demon_spork> hmm
[04:29] <joel_> Pelo: read about it and mine shouldn't have any conflicts
[04:29] <biggy2> can somebody help me get my ethernet card detected in ubuntu it won't pick it up but it will in windows
[04:29] <misslecommander_> biggy2: network interface cards (NIC) are not all supported, you may need to use other methods
[04:29] <demon_spork> that is really weird, pdavid
[04:29] <jnascimento> shuggle: check /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
[04:29] <BloodyScum> does anyone know where i can get the bulk packages for java and flash? i need he .deb for them both because they never seem to install correctly otherwise
[04:29] <joel_> it works with other sizes like 800x600
[04:29] <demon_spork> pdavid, I didn't have the problem with my gutsy system
[04:29] <pdavid> wait
[04:29] <pdavid> i can't keep track of these names
[04:29] <jnascimento> shuggle: read some of those files and limit your max processing
[04:30] <demon_spork> pdavid, 7.10 or 7.04?
[04:30] <jnascimento> shuggle: or simple change it for ondemand
[04:30] <biggy2> misslecommander other people say that it works and ubuntu page says it does to
[04:30] <jnascimento> shuggle: the file name is scaling_governor
[04:30] <pdavid> demon_spork 7.10

[04:31] <moDumass> unop: i have this feeling i have it all the wrong way round
[04:31] <pdavid> boltclock ctrl-backspace :)
[04:31] <BloodyScum> BoltClock ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:31] <navaburo> 1300/2000MB used says free -m, but the sum of the MEM% percentages returned by ps -aux is 20%
[04:31] <jnascimento> n00bie: ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:31] <BoltClock> anywhere?
[04:32] <BloodyScum> BoltClock yes
[04:32] <n00bie> jnascimento, :P
[04:32] <biggy2> the thing that is making me mad is that my card used to work and then i uninstalled ubuntu and re-installed and now it doesn't
[04:32] <BloodyScum> BoltClock i think thats right
[04:32] <pdavid> n00bie: id3v2?  id3ed?
[04:32] <bkar> biggy2-> which brand of nic card?
[04:33] <jnascimento> does any body knows a sort of compressed file system.. something like squash but writteble
[04:33] <miketalanca> I have a pretty big issue :/ I had a problem with the latest xorg update, so I had to do a bunch of things just to get X working again. After that was done I installed graphics drivers and restarted...and now I am met with this error: kernel panic VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
[04:33] <Shuggle> jnascimento: it is already at ondemand
[04:33] <BoltClock> well, i thought it was some command in the terminal ><
[04:33] <jnascimento> shuggle: both processors?
[04:33] <BoltClock> anyway
[04:34] <BloodyScum> miketalanca i had the same problem with x that you did, but all i did was roll it back to a prev version... what did you do?
[04:34] <misslecommander_> jnascimento: Could not open the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/…aling_available_governors.
[04:34] <sethk> miketalanca, that's caused by the kernel not know the file system type early in the boot sequence
[04:34] <Shuggle> jnascimento: yes
[04:34] <sethk> miketalanca, if you can boot an earlier kernel version, you can fix it by rebuilding the kernel, but it's odd that it happens in the first place.
[04:34] <jnascimento> shuggle: well, probrably ist not this.. but conservative is the best choice for you
[04:35] <biggy2> ok i found a solution while searching and reading here i have to windows disables your network card until windows reboots so all i have to do is turn that off in windows
[04:35] <jnascimento> try it :-S
[04:35] <jnascimento> shuggle: have you try to type top and see what is consuming you cpu?
[04:35] <bkar> biggy2-> which brand of nic card?
[04:35] <n00bie> pdavid, i'll check them out, thx
[04:35] <BoltClock> ive been having a problem with my nvidia driver (geforce7100 onboard). basically ubuntu cant seem to cope and always wants to start in low gfx mode - ive tried reconfiguring my X server and doing other stuff i cant remember but for seven hours i still havent managed to solve the problem. could someone help me on this? ><

[04:38] <pvl1> does anyone know of any good ssh guides?
[04:38] <miketalanca> bloodyscum, sethk: I had to do some extra things to restore my previous xserver because my machine wouldn't start up AT ALL, and I don't have an earlier kernel installed on here :/ Is there anything I can do?
[04:38] <bkar> dang it...how many of you have a crashed so called DeathStar hard disk from IBM?
[04:38] <biggy2> okay i enabled wake on lan shutdown network card rebooted and now i'm going to ubuntu to see if it will work wish me luck
[04:38] <malaclyps> is there a canonical (ha!) way to find out where a particular keyboard shortcut is defined? "Super W" on my keyboard is defined to do an action I don't want, but I can't find it mentioned in gconf or any compviz settings that Ive looked at
[04:38] <Darkmystere> Thanks guys for correcting me i went and read what i didnt read and the contract did state  it couldnt be used on anycomputer besides apple and if it is its against Eula you guys just saved me 5 grand =)
[04:38] <jnascimento> shuttle: kill it.. disable emerald or any other 3d desktop feature

[04:39] <Shuggle> jnascimento: sorry, i was confusing it with the memory
[04:39] <miketalanca> bloodyscum, sethk: My video card drivers were causing a ton of problems with the new update, and well now after reinstalling them after the rollback I get that error.
[04:40] <Shuggle> jnascimento: ok, it just froze
[04:40] <jnascimento> shuttle: try run glxgears

[04:40] <Shuggle> jnascimento: it was compiz
[04:40] <Darkmystere> Hey guys does Ubuntu work with MacBook Pro?
[04:40] <Shuggle> the main reason i am using ubuntu is for the effects
[04:40] <BloodyScum> miketalanca, sethk: hm.. thats odd it wouldnt start at all, the only problem i was havving was that it wouldnt load java apps and such, what video card is it? i think thats more the vid drivers fault than x
[04:40] <sethk> miketalanca, yes, I hear you, but the problem isn't caused by video drivers.
[04:40] <sethk> miketalanca, did it roll back the kernel itself, possibly?
[04:41] <jnascimento> shuggle: dont be a so shallow my man :-)
[04:41] <sethk> BloodyScum, now he's getting the kernel panic trying to find the root file system, so his system is seriously messed up.
[04:41] <pteague> anybody know how to get dpkg to install the reqs for building a package?
[04:41] <Shuggle> jnascimento: sorry, it's just that i can get my web browser and my java compiler anywhere
[04:42] <miketalanca> bloodyscum: I have a GeForce 8600GT   sethk: The only thing that I did after I got my xserver downgraded and back running was install video drivers
[04:42] <sethk> miketalanca, well, that's all that should have happened.  Obviously, something else also happened.
[04:42] <lacrost><PHONE_NUMBER>
[04:42] <sethk> miketalanca, by the way, I have that video card.  To get it to work, I installed the kernel source from kernel.org, built the kernel, and then installed the drivers from nvidia's web site.
[04:43] <jnascimento> shuggle: you proprably right.. well you must to configure your video card perfectly.. if glsgears run without any major problemas and no freezed
[04:43] <BoltClock> ive been having a problem with my nvidia driver (geforce7100 onboard). basically ubuntu (im on newly installed gutsy) cant seem to cope and always wants to start in low gfx mode. ive tried reconfiguring my X server and doing other stuff i cant remember but for seven hours i still havent managed to solve the problem. and i dont trust envy because its not supported. could someone help me with my issue?
[04:43] <jnascimento> shuggle: proprably 3d desktop is going to work
[04:43] <sethk> miketalanca, but even if the video drivers are completely incorrectly installed or missing or whatever, it shouldn't be able to cause the symptom you are seeing.
[04:43] <Pirate-King> hello
[04:43] <jnascimento> hello
[04:43] <Pirate-King> anybody know how to fix this error
[04:43] <sethk> miketalanca, I would try booting the live cd and mounting the file system. That will tell you that it (the file system) is still there and still usable.
[04:44] <jnascimento> :-P

[04:44] <jnascimento> pirate: behind proxy?
[04:44] <sethk> Pirate-King, that's a problem on the server itself, typically.
[04:44] <genii> sethk: I got lost in scroll. Is his issue that he has 2 screens overlaid?
[04:44] <jsgivens> Pirate-King, was getting the same thing earlier

[04:44] <Pirate-King> ok
[04:44] <sethk> Pirate-King, I've seen that on a few installations recently.  tried them again, and the problem disappeared.
[04:44] <Pirate-King> ok
[04:45] <sethk> genii, I don't think so, but I could be confused also.  :)
[04:45] <lacrost> hello mothafacka
[04:45] <BoltClock> can no one help me with my problem?
[04:45] <Shuggle> jnascimento: well, i dunno what to change on the video card, or how to change. I just installed the restricted nvidia driver. glxgears seems to work
[04:46] <miketalanca> sethk: I booted from the livecd and I am navigating my hard drive, no problems have arisen yet :/
[04:46] <Extravert> any Blender 3d pros here?
[04:46] <jnascimento> shuggle: try to enable copiz :-S and see how it goes
[04:47] <bkar> Extravert-> they have their channel at blendernation
[04:47] <genii> sethk: Just because I saw someone earlier with that but could not recall who. Then it happened to my friend here, what it turned out to be is he put the dvi out and the vga out cords from his dual-head adapter both at once into his lcd panel which has also both plugs
[04:47] <Shuggle> jnascimento: enable compiz?
[04:47] <sethk> miketalanca, well, that's a good sign.  If you reinstall the kernel, you should be ok.

[04:47] <bkar> Extravert-> am a newbie user of blender
[04:47] <miketalanca> sethk: I'll give it a shot, hopefully it's not too hard :P Thanks a lot.
[04:47] <jnascimento> i believe 3f still doesnt exists
[04:47] <sethk> genii, that shouldn't actually kill the file system, but then again, who knows?

[04:51] <jnascimento> misslecommander_: it controls the frequency from your processing.. you can safe lifetime and power changing

[04:51] <BoltClock> ive been having a problem with my nvidia driver (geforce7100 onboard). basically ubuntu (im on newly installed gutsy) cant seem to cope and always wants to start in low gfx mode. ive tried reconfiguring my X server and doing other stuff i cant remember but for seven hours i still havent managed to solve the problem. and i dont trust envy because its not supported. could someone please help me with my issue?
[04:51] <misslecommander_> jnascimento: ok, so it acts as a throttle ?
[04:51] <pdavid> haven't tried it lately to be honest
[04:52] <jnascimento> missinlecommander_: it works like those jumpers that we used to change the processor frequency, but it changed with processor up and runnung
[04:52] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: check this out, i fixed that issue
[04:52] <misslecommander_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52541/
[04:53] <misslecommander_> jnascimento: yes, the old days, they were nice
[04:53] <ubud> can I used apt-get to install mythTV?
[04:53] <jnascimento> misslecommader_: totally agree with you
[04:53] <BoltClock> missilecommander_: whats the terminal command used to open xorg.conf again?
[04:53] <misslecommander_> jnascimento: what had you said the cpu freq has to do with the vid freeze ?
[04:53] <misslecommander_> or some freeze
[04:54] <misslecommander_> you can use nano > sudo nano filenamehere
[04:54] <misslecommander_> i dont directly edit it, look at th pastebin, i run from backup
[04:54] <jnascimento> nothing in particular.. but he could limit its processor max freq for testing.. and the profile set for gover might not be apropriated
[04:55] <misslecommander_> you can copy the one thats broke, then edit that, and do with that i did, if you have no backup
[04:55] <LurkersA> Hey guys, I have an Nvidia 8600GT, I have installed the drivers from the restricted drivers section, and they work, but they will not drive 2 moniters. Before I installed the drivvers I was getting a cloned output, but now 1 moniter doesn't go at all. Anyone know how to get it going?
[04:55] <jnascimento> imsmisslecommander_: do you have icq/msn/ or something like that?
[04:55] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: that is what i did, yours may be different. i made that because it was a sure fix for me
[04:56] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: plus it shows what it changed, for good reason i am sure, but just the same, not what anyone wants
[04:56] <BoltClock> missilecommander_: ive already done `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` and picked my screen resolutions so theres a few others besides 640x480. it is low gfx mode here and not the normal one so i cant get it bigger than 800x600
[04:56] <BoltClock> driver is running
[04:56] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: right me too, and it messed my resolution up
[04:57] <misslecommander_> that fix fixes the resolution back to normal, but that is my file, your vid card may be diff
[04:57] <misslecommander_> you may be able to get away with inserting the vid modes, but you would have to retain format
[04:58] <WorkingOnWise> isn't there a package for bitchx in the repo?
[04:58] <misslecommander_> it changes the vid modes, as a result you are limited to the low res, it removes the other modes, i woudl think, in effort to protect itself
[04:59] <BoltClock> missilecommander_: video modes?
[04:59] <misslecommander_> BoltCLock, you may already have a xorg.conf file that is backed up
[04:59] <BoltClock> missilecommander_: i see a -lot- of those in /etc/X11/
[04:59] <misslecommander_> its all in the pastebin,
[05:00] <misslecommander_> yes one of them may be like xorg.config.custom or anything of the sort
[05:00] <misslecommander_> find the one that worked previously and make use of the screen modes
[05:00] <BoltClock> none worked
[05:00] <misslecommander_> you need to restart for it to take effect
[05:00] <BoltClock> i did
[05:01] <misslecommander_> then try to go intor resolution and change it
[05:01] <misslecommander_> they wil be in the list now, if you did it right
[05:01] <misslecommander_> System/Preferences/Screen Resolution
[05:02] <BoltClock> ubuntu always warns me that itll start in low gfx mode
[05:02] <BoltClock> and System Preferences>Screen Resolution always only displays 800x600 and 640x480
[05:03] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: i dont know what to tell you, but, look at the other copies of xorg.conf.* and find what modes are different from the current
[05:03] <clearzen> BoltClock: Have you installed the driver with the restricted drivers manager?

[05:04] <misslecommander_> on linux
[05:05] <sksol> lolz
[05:05] <sksol> it was a lot faster on xp
[05:05] <misslecommander_> thing is FireFox on windows is Faster than IE is on windows

[05:06] <misslecommander_> yes, but try FireFox on windows, its superfast
[05:06] <sksol> yes.... but firefox on linux is slower than firefox on windows
[05:06] <misslecommander_> oh yes
[05:06] <BoltClock> missilecommander_: i just overwrote xorg.conf with xorg.conf.backup, restart whole system now?

[05:07] <genii> BoltClock: just logout, ctrl-shift-backspace then login again
[05:07] <clearzen> BoltClock: 1) apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx 2) apt-get install nvidia-glx-new  3) sudo envy -t and uninstall nvidia drivers, clean the nvidia drivers, and install them again

[05:08] <brophat> can someone try firefox on my site at http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ and tell me if it is loading on the other side of my firewall?
[05:08] <BoltClock> clearzen: ill try restarting X first
[05:08] <nickrud> brophat: not quite awsome yet
[05:08] <sethk> brophat, it shows my ip address and has a few lines before that
[05:08] <brophat> ok thanks
[05:08] <sksol> yup brophat, it works
[05:08] <brophat> it is working
[05:08] <sethk> brophat, if that's what you expect, I guess it's working.  :)
[05:08] <genii> brophat: It works
[05:09] <brophat> thanks peeps
[05:09] <nickrud> I think the consensus, is it works brophat
[05:09] <BloodyScum> does anyone know where i can get the bulk package for flash, installing them with package manager and apt-get doesnt work right for me..
[05:09] <BoltClock> restarted, but doesnt seem to work
[05:09] <brophat> nickrud but how do I know that all of you didn't get together in some kind of a conspiracy to make me think it is working.
[05:09] <nickrud> !brokenflash | BloodyScum , see the blue text on the link
[05:09] <ubotu> BloodyScum , see the blue text on the link: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[05:10] <lespea> sksol: go into the options, advanced, and turn on autoscroll
[05:10] <jnascimento> BloodyScum, just get from adobe home page
[05:10] <nickrud> brophat: you are wiser than I thought :)
[05:10] <BoltClock> clearzen: will try what you said now... though ive heard envy is unsupported
[05:10] <misslecommander_> lol ubotu, calm down there guy :)
[05:10] <misslecommander_> oops
[05:10] <misslecommander_> "/msg"
[05:10] <lespea> sksol: you'll probably also want to fix backspace, type about:config in the address bar, filter using backspace, and change it to 0
[05:10] <clearzen> BoltClock: it's just building the drivers from source for you.
[05:10] <sksol> ok, thanks lespea
[05:10] <brophat> nickrud the solution is for me to check the logs haha
[05:10] <nickrud> !envy | BoltClock (so you're right about that part)
[05:10] <ubotu> BoltClock (so you're right about that part): envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[05:11] <BoltClock> there... unsupported ><
[05:11] <clearzen> nickrud: the supported method doesn't work for him
[05:11] <BoltClock> Pici told me yesterday
[05:11] <lespea> sksol: also, if you use all-in-one gestures, do NOT use it in linux -- it borks the spelling correction stuff
[05:11] <jnascimento> k guys.. got go.. nice talking
[05:11] <BoltClock> wait... brb
[05:11] <nickrud> clearzen: I did mention he was right about the not supported, but I didn't contradict you when you mentioned it.  I can't complain to much since it's all free to me :)
[05:13] <nickrud> clearzen: likewise. I do my best with the ati stuff.
[05:14] <BoltClock> clearzen: could not `sudo envy -t`
[05:14] <BoltClock> should i download envy first? or isnt that the text installer or something?
[05:14] <bruenig> don't do that
[05:14] <bruenig> !envy
[05:14] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[05:14] <BoltClock> yeah i know
[05:15] <clearzen> BoltClock: you have to download envy first
[05:15] <bruenig> clearzen, not recommended
[05:15] <clearzen> bruenig: I know. The "recommended methods" don't work for him
[05:15] <arken> Hello, I'm trying to get help for my VMware in Ubuntu 7.10
[05:16] <bruenig> clearzen, envy just "tries" to do the recommended methods in an automated fashion and often fails
[05:16] <nickrud> arken: add   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner   to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get  install vmware-server  is a good way to get vmware on ubuntu
[05:16] <BoltClock> yeah it failed for me yesterday
[05:16] <bruenig> I don't understand how people don't realize that envy doesn't like have its own secret drivers somewhere
[05:16] <clearzen> bruenig: if it does i'll help him fix it
[05:16] <misslecommander_> clearzen: they didnt work for me niether, i had to manualize everything
[05:16] <bruenig> it is a front end
[05:17] <bruenig> if the drivers don't work when you installed them, they won't work when envy installs them
[05:17] <bruenig> if envy actually gets them installed to begin with
[05:17] <arken> nickrud: I have the program, but I can't seem to get Win98 working in it.
[05:17] <clearzen> bruenig: It uses different driver versions than the restricted driver manager.
[05:17] <nickrud> arken: you probably should try #vmware to get help with setting up vms
[05:17] <bruenig> clearzen, don't use the restricted driver, use the wiki like ubotu said
[05:18] <bruenig> click and pray advice is discouraged, if you don't understand how to help, just don't
[05:18] <clearzen>  bruenig: k, envy is just faster than typing by hand but whatever gets it to work I guess
[05:18] <jake> how can i get my different workspaces to be in a cube when i change them?

[05:23] <nickrud> mozilla-plugin-gnash
[05:23] <genii> rockets: I agree. Sadly it's just not up to par yet
[05:23] <BoltClock> bruenig: is there anything i can do about my problem?
[05:23] <bruenig> what is libflash-mozplugin then
[05:23] <bruenig> !nv | BoltClock
[05:23] <ubotu> BoltClock: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[05:24] <VvWolverinevV> bruenig: im new to ubuntu, do i type sudo??
[05:24] <nickrud> another one of the dead flash projects I guess
[05:24] <scguy318> KidProQuo: it will upgrade all your packages from the Feisty repo (won't do a dist-upgrade)
[05:24] <BoltClock> bruenig: i am there, so i try the method under 6.10 and earlier since restricted driver manager doesnt seem to help?
[05:24] <scguy318> KidProQuo: sudo apt-get install nameofthexcorepackage if you just want to install it specifically
[05:24] <sksol> guys, whats the best html wysiwyg editor for linux?

[05:25] <nickrud> bruenig: you haven't been playing around in the package pool recently :)
[05:25] <BoltClock> bruenig: i am there, so i try the method under 6.10 and earlier since restricted driver manager doesnt seem to help?
[05:25] <bruenig> I knew it was taken out a while ago, I still hope they will bring it back, I don't understand why they took it out
[05:25] <bruenig> it was old but who cares
[05:26] <tina> hello i have a question
[05:26] <nickrud> bruenig: I understand linspire owns the name nvu, kompozer is the continuation
[05:26] <nemilar> tina: just go ahead and ask it

[05:27] <nemilar> tina: what bruenig is trying to say is, run 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin'
[05:27] <scguy318> tina: are you on 64-bit Ubuntu?
[05:27] <stiev3> I'm looking at running a basic, but secure svn server to be accessible by ~2 users dumbing around in ruby.  What would be the best option for a relative n00b when it comes to keep an open port safe?
[05:28] <bruenig> sexists
[05:28] <nemilar> haha
[05:28] <tina> what is sudo apt
[05:28] <nemilar> stiev3: really good passwords
[05:28] <nickrud> no, just friendly to possible beginners bruenig
[05:28] <scguy318> tina: that is a command you run from the terminal, basically starts the apt-get APT frontend
[05:28] <hk2999> i want a different wallpaper for my different workspaces
[05:28] <hk2999> is this possible?
[05:28] <bruenig> right, sure that name had nothing to do with it ;|
[05:29] <scguy318> tina: with root privileges (you will probably be asked to enter your user password)
[05:29]  * hk2999 is using compiz with gnome
[05:29] <nemilar> compiz++
[05:29] <nickrud> bruenig: I got my past on my side, I'm pure as the driven snow on this one ;p
[05:29] <nemilar> emerald > metacity, etc
[05:29] <bruenig> compiz-=2
[05:29] <scguy318> tina: alternatively you could do what nickrud suggested and install the sun-java6-plugin package through Synaptic
[05:29] <KidProQuo> scguy318: I managed to get it installed with apt-get. Thanks for the help
[05:29] <tina> where do  i find the terminal
[05:29] <sksol> is there a channel where i just complain about random stuff?
[05:29] <nemilar> tina: applications - accessories - terminal
[05:30] <scguy318> tina: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (you may find it better to launch Synaptic via System -> Admin -> Synaptic Package Manager)
[05:30] <tina> tanks
[05:30] <bruenig> sksol, well there is #politics, but you have to complain about jews and blacks there I think
[05:30] <scguy318> sksol: #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps
[05:30] <nemilar> jews and blacks--
[05:30] <sksol> ok :) thanks!
[05:30] <bruenig> oh no, don't decrement the jews and blacks
[05:30] <nickrud> sksol: complaining on #freenode can be fun
[05:30] <KiD_ChAoS> Ubuntu was built with jews in mind
[05:31] <drgonzo00000> is there an alternate for fnfx to get my function keys to work on a toshiba laptop?
[05:31] <KiD_ChAoS> not blacks but jews
[05:31] <nemilar> arguing politics on IRC is about the dumbiest thing I've ever heard of

[05:31] <bruenig> hmm, punchy
[05:31] <nemilar> so how about those Patriots

[05:32] <BoltClock> can anyone else help me with my problem?
[05:32] <tina> what password should i put
[05:32] <nemilar> VvWolverinevV: err ^^
[05:32] <hk2999> bassinboy: button1 is probably mouse1`
[05:32] <scguy318> tina: the password of your user account
[05:32] <nemilar> tina: your user password
[05:33] <nemilar> BoltClock: what's the problem?
[05:33] <tina> when i type in the password area is not typing anything
[05:33] <bruenig> hmm
[05:33] <scguy318> tina: that's normal
[05:33] <BoltClock> nemilar: ive been having a problem with my nvidia driver (geforce7100 onboard). basically ubuntu (im on newly installed gutsy) cant seem to cope and always wants to start in low gfx mode. ive tried reconfiguring my X server and doing other stuff i cant remember but for seven hours i still havent managed to solve the problem. and i dont trust envy because its not supported.
[05:33] <Ramseize> anyone help
[05:33] <Ramseize> ?
[05:33] <meoblast001> hi
[05:33] <nickrud> tina, it just doesn't echo what you type, so people can't see how many characters are in your password
[05:34] <nemilar> BoltClock: well if it's a fresh install, and nothing else works, just try envy
[05:34] <scguy318> BoltClock: perhaps you should paste your Xorg.0.log
[05:34] <meoblast001> when i turn on my PS3 and log in to Playstation network..... i knocks Pidgin off of AIM and MSN... does anyone know how i could fix this
[05:34] <VvWolverinevV> bruenig: Package libflash-mozplugin is not installed, so not removed
[05:34] <nemilar> scguy318: great, tell him to flood the channel
[05:34] <nemilar> :X
[05:34] <scguy318> nemilar: oh, I meant pastebin :S
[05:34] <victorneo> BoltClock: After you login into Ubuntu in the low gfx mode, does the restricted plugin option pop up?
[05:34] <tina> yeah   but it does not type anything not even asterisks
[05:34] <nickrud> VvWolverinevV: that one was mozilla-plugin-gnash
[05:34] <scguy318> nemilar: I forget that people don't do that...
[05:34] <BoltClock> scguy318: where is it?
[05:34] <VvWolverinevV> bruenig: but when i play flash objects in firefox and i right click, an option is "quit gnash"
[05:35] <scguy318> !pastebin | BoltClock
[05:35] <ubotu> BoltClock: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:35] <BoltClock> nemilar: i cant trust unsupported methods
[05:35] <bruenig> VvWolverinevV, listen to nickrud
[05:35] <nemilar> tina: that's completely normal, it will just be blank
[05:35] <BoltClock> scguy318: i know the pastebin but where do i find the log file?
[05:35] <nickrud> tina: so people can't count the asterisks. It's a very old convention to not do that
[05:35] <scguy318> BoltClock: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:35] <BoltClock> victorneo: it did the -very- first time but not anymore
[05:35] <BoltClock> scguy318: ok
[05:35] <tina> it display "sorry, try again"
[05:35] <nemilar> tina: you typed it in wrong
[05:36] <tina> ok it worked how did you know
[05:36] <nemilar> lol, BoltClock are you paying for support or something?
[05:36] <VvWolverinevV> nickrud: how come i don't see that package in the folder /usr/lib/firefox/plugins ??
[05:36] <BoltClock> nemilar: no, people just keep telling me that envy isnt supported here
[05:36] <BoltClock> nemilar: and anyway it hasnt worked for me
[05:36] <BoltClock> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52548/
[05:37] <nemilar> BoltClock: there's probably a channel for envy somewhere
[05:37] <nickrud> VvWolverinevV: you can see if it's installed with   dpkg -l mozilla-plugin-gnash .  If the line starts with  ii  it's installed
[05:37] <rama_8086> AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.5,,{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error:

[05:38] <RootyRootRootWoo> Hi, suddenly my vlc player won't open. any ideas?
[05:38] <meoblast001> does anyone know why PSN would knock Pidgin off AIM and MSN?
[05:38] <VvWolverinevV> nickrud: so when you install plugins, they can install themselves anywhere?!
[05:38] <nemilar> RootyRootRootWoo: the ubuntu people fucked up
[05:38] <scguy318> BoltClock: could you also paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:38] <nickrud> VvWolverinevV: there's probably several places it can go, but try what bruenig mentioned it will list all the files in the package
 is there a solution?
[05:38]  * bruenig enjoys the ?! combo
[05:39] <VvWolverinevV> nickrud: i already removed it :P
[05:39] <tina> now it says that "e: couldn't find package sun java6 plugin
[05:39] <BoltClock> scguy318: earlier i overwrote it with xorg.conf.backup
[05:39] <BoltClock> scguy318: paste it anyway?
[05:39] <scguy318> BoltClock: yes
[05:39] <bruenig> tina, you typed it wrong: sun-java6-plugin
[05:39] <victorneo> RootyRootRootWoo: Can you try to "sudo apt-get update" and see if there are any new updates?
[05:39] <BoltClock> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52550/
[05:39] <scguy318> BoltCLock: thanks
[05:40] <RootyRootRootWoo> victorneo - ok
[05:40] <tina> can you tell me again the command exactly how it shold be
[05:40] <sexcopter> has anyone's vlc broken lately in ubuntu, or is it just me?
[05:40] <victorneo> sexopter: It is due to a xorg update released earlier

[05:41]  * nickrud will wait a week before updating
[05:41] <scguy318> victorneo: breaking VLC?

[05:42] <nemilar> bruenig: nah, everything is from repos
[05:42] <scguy318> BoltClock: are there any other Xorg logs in /var/log?
 I did it. nothing to install. if it's that update I read the headline on digg, then I guess I've installed it

[05:46] <Dezine> oh
[05:46] <wobblywu> nemilar, i'd give it to a girl before i'd give it to a boy though
[05:46] <nemilar> nemilar is just one of those made-up words
[05:47] <Dezine> it's Nvidia
[05:47] <nemilar> :( now I gotta make up a new nickname :( :(
[05:47] <wobblywu> nemilar, I thought you wanted faster help, you should rejoice

[05:48] <nemilar> lol
[05:48] <scguy318> BoltClock: your logs seem to only show X launching successfully in low graphics mm
[05:48] <nemilar> in my opinion, the iraq is maps, need be for there as, such be the learning south africa such as
[05:49] <RootyRootRootWoo> LOL
[05:49] <BoltClock> scguy318: ubuntu keeps asking to launch in low gfx and no other
[05:49]  * Dezine doot doot doo
[05:49] <VvWolverinevV> what's a good music player that can edit file tags and rename files and rearrange directories based on those tags?
[05:49] <EdwardXP> awesome ubuntu :D
[05:50] <n2diy> VvWolverinevV: Audacity?
[05:50] <nemilar> o cool
[05:50] <EdwardXP> sounds complicated...
 Amarok is good and does tags, not sure about what to use for filenames
[05:50] <sams_gibbon> hiya ppl....great days begin with a shot of ubuntu
[05:50] <nemilar> Songbird is a great music player
[05:50] <nemilar> except that it chokes on my collection
[05:51] <sams_gibbon> i got a question on the gnome terminal
[05:51] <VvWolverinevV> nemilar: that wouldn't really constitute great then :P
[05:51] <nemilar> I've only been able to get MPD-based players to handle my collection
[05:51] <Dezine> Anyone know how I can set it up so my speakers can play music when hooked up into my line in?
[05:51] <nemilar> VvWolverinevV: I've got a crazy large collection though
[05:51] <xTheGoat121x> Is there a way to remove programs manually compiled/installed?
[05:51] <r3n0c> can somebody help me with an error i get when i try to run vlc
[05:51] <VvWolverinevV> nemilar: what's MPD?
[05:51] <n2diy> sams_gibbon: go for it
[05:51] <VvWolverinevV> nemilar: how big?
[05:51] <nemilar> VvWolverinevV: Music Player Deamon
[05:51] <nickrud> Dezine: you mean line out? (I hope)
[05:51] <Dezine> hm
[05:51] <Dezine> probably
[05:51] <Dezine> :-x
[05:51] <nemilar> VvWolverinevV: about half a TB so far
[05:51] <scguy318> BoltClock: a temporary measure may be to select vesa, so it won't constantly complain
[05:52] <Dezine> it's next to the regular speaker input
[05:52] <BoltClock> scguy318: huh?
[05:52] <r3n0c> i keep getting an error
[05:52] <r3n0c> The program '.' recieved an X Window System error.
[05:52] <nemilar> VvWolverinevV: all legally acquired, of course.
[05:52] <scguy318> BoltClock: for your monitor driver in the safe mode selection
[05:52] <Dezine> Worked on Windows so I don't see why not on Ubuntu
[05:52] <nickrud> Dezine: line in is for a mike, or recording off another player of some kind
[05:52] <VvWolverinevV> nemilar: lol
[05:53] <victorneo> sams_gibbon: What about the gnome terminal?
[05:53] <scguy318> BoltClock: other than that I'm afraid the limits of my knowledge are reached :(
[05:53] <sams_gibbon> when i open the terminal it opens in 80 x 24 size is there a way to open it in a bigger size ie 125 x 39 by default
[05:53] <scguy318> BoltClock: perhaps it may be that nvidia restricted isn't installed (properly)
[05:53] <BoltClock> scguy318: the dialog where ubuntu warns me that its starting in low gfx?
[05:53] <scguy318> BoltClock: yes, or you could reconfigure xorg.conf yourself and specify vesa
[05:53] <BoltClock> scguy318: restricted drivers manager isnt reporting any problems
[05:54] <Dezine> alright well thanks anyway
[05:54] <BoltClock> scguy318: will reboot now and take a look
[05:54] <victorneo> sams_gibbon: I don't see any options that allow me to configure that via the GUI.. anyone has any idea?
[05:54] <nickrud> sams_gibbon: you can do something like changing the menu entry to gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39 , or add an alias like alias gt='gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39'
[05:55] <sams_gibbon> ty victorneo and nickrud...wil try that out nick
[05:55] <bruenig>  /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop
[05:55] <nemilar> nickrud: there's another way...I can't remember wha tthe name of the file is, but you can set default properties for apps in ~/.x[something]
[05:56] <nickrud> nemilar: I don't think gnome-terminal uses that (.xResources) but it might ...
[05:56] <nemilar> ahh yeah that's the name
[05:56] <bruenig> yeah I doubt it uses that
[05:56] <nemilar> well darn it
[05:56] <bruenig> that is more of a urxvt or other more advanced terminals
[05:56] <nickrud> nemilar: but xterm does :)
[05:56] <bruenig> thing
[05:56] <genii> sams_gibbon: 3rd to last post here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-107000.html
[05:56] <nemilar> yeah I remember configuring xterm with it back in the day
[05:56] <nickrud> more advanced than gt!!? bite your tongue
[05:56] <nemilar> back in the day when I was using blackbox and kernel version 2.0.16 or something
[05:57] <moDumass> thanks, im running into this error mount error 6 = No such device or address
[05:57] <moDumass>  whilst trying to mount the dir

[05:58] <sams_gibbon> "changing the menu entry to gnome-terminal --geometry=125x39" worked like a charm...ty nick

[05:59] <BoltClock> scguy318: im currently on win xp pro sp2
[06:00] <scguy318> BoltClock: the X server failed?
[06:00] <BoltClock> scguy318: ubuntu prints five lines and does nothing else
[06:00] <scguy318> BoltClock: in that case, you may either choose to install the ext2 driver at http://fs-driver.org to gain access to your Ubuntu partition, and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:00]  * nickrud decides to wait two weeks
[06:00] <scguy318> BoltClock: and paste that, or
[06:01] <scguy318> BoltClock: hmm, what messages?
[06:01] <sams_gibbon> checked it genii...ty

[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: I am working on a tutorial for the older ATI cards and getting effects to work...
[06:01] <victorneo> scguy318: BoltClock is using vesa and he can't boot up?
[06:01] <moDumass> so ive created a file with the login and password
[06:02] <moDumass> ive made a mount point called NAS200
[06:02] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: oh, please do. I'm banging up against that every day it seems
[06:02] <BoltClock> victorneo: i was -about- to set vesa but i cant boot it
[06:02] <scguy318> victorneo: well, he copied an older xorg.conf that used nvidia over and restarted with that
[06:02] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: do you have a draft up anywhere?
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: I installed gutsy on one of my laptops that has a 7500 mobility
[06:02] <drgonzo00000> when i try to use mplayer it gives me the error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out -vo device
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Got it working with effects just fine
[06:03] <BoltClock> Jack_Sparrow: hey, i tried configuring as you instructed but it isnt working. free to chip in?
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Let me put up my notes
[06:03] <corinth> Is there anything in the default Gutsy configuration that would prevent me from getting fast torrent downloads?
[06:03] <moDumass> bruenig and then i enter sudo mount -a into terminal and thats the error it spits out
[06:04] <esoterik> anyone else having problems with VLC after the recent x server update?
[06:04] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: are you going to scale in la next month?
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Wasnt planning on it..
[06:04] <victorneo> esoterik: are you using gutsy?
[06:04] <ushimitsudoki> corinth: I don't think so .. I have a pretty vanilla Gutsy install and torrents work fine for me (deluge)
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52552/   please remember tis has a long way to go.. need to remove un-wanted stuff
[06:05] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: I wil hang for a sec if you want to look it over
[06:05] <esoterik> victorneo: yes
[06:05] <victorneo> try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969/comments/8
[06:06] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: looking now, and I see that I didn't know what the heck I was doing :)
[06:06] <esoterik> victorneo: k ill give it a go
[06:06] <BoltClock> scguy318: wait hold on
[06:07] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: There seemed to be quite a bit of confusion on the issue
[06:07] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: there is. The caveats are really useful, like the 1280x1024 on oldest cards
[06:08] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: yep, and the max on dual monitors....  that kept tripping me up
[06:08] <BoltClock> scguy318: they dont look like they have anything to do with my problem but http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52553/
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: You add the res of both monitors..... no wonder effects would not work on both or the res had to be reduced on one
[06:09] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: a lot of stuff there to put into a organized fashion. No hurry, but I'm bookmarking that page till then
[06:09] <scguy318> BoltClock: I'm thinking Ubuntu loaded up okay, but X didn't
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: It took awhile to put that together and test it.. but yes we can fix it from there..
[06:10] <scguy318> BoltClock: take your time, I can wait
[06:10] <BoltClock> scguy318: take my time to..?
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: See you monday.. goodnight all
[06:10] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: you also.
[06:11] <scguy318> BoltClock: get access to your Linux partition and paste Xorg.0.log
[06:11] <scguy318> BoltClock: I guess if you know your way at the Terminal you could possibly copy Xorg.0.log to your Windows partition at the command line or
[06:11] <scguy318> BoltClock: use http://fs-driver.org to gain access from windows
[06:12] <loops_> what is the difference between the "generic" kernel and the 386 kernel that you can choose to start ubuntu up in grub?
[06:12] <mkquist> hey all - anyone having a problem with updates today?
[06:12] <scguy318> BoltClock: actually, I guess a simpler way I've overlooked is to go to Recovery Console and just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg all over again
[06:12] <victorneo> scguy318: Is he able to access tty1?
[06:12] <scguy318> victorneo: I would presume so, but I cannot say since he is no longer in Ubuntu
[06:13] <BoltClock> victorneo: im running windows now
[06:13] <BoltClock> scguy318: so do that or retrieve the log file?
[06:14]  * nickrud fires up moinmoin
[06:14] <victorneo> mkquist: having problems after the xorg update?
[06:14] <night_slither> ksimus is a great simulator
[06:14] <hobophobe> Is there a branch of ubuntu similar to 'sid' or unstable in debian? That is, a repository that is 'bleeding edge?'
[06:14] <tritium> hobophobe: no
[06:14] <scguy318> BoltClock: for now just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:14] <r3n0c> has anybody had a problem with running vlc?
[06:14] <scguy318> BoltClock: I would hate to have you do undue work
[06:15] <night_slither> what kind of problems not being able to connect?
[06:15] <r3n0c> when i try to run it i get a X Window System error
[06:15] <tritium> hobophobe: there is the next release, which is currently in development.  /join #ubuntu+1 for more info
[06:15] <hobophobe> Okay, thanks.
[06:15] <BoltClock> scguy318: lol, ok. also why is the program seeing my linux disk (i installed win and linux on separate disks) as ext2 and not ext3?
[06:15] <victorneo> for those having problems running VLC or Java applications after updating, refer to this for Gutsy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969/comments/8
[06:15] <Starnestommy> r3n0c: I think there was a problem with WxWidgets based programs like vlc caused by an xorg update
[06:15] <r3n0c> Starnestommy,  yea that is what i was thinking, when i updated it started to die
[06:15] <Starnestommy> vlc seems to be working for me, though
[06:16] <misslecommander> i have vlc installed, but havent tried it yet
[06:16] <r3n0c> Starnestommy,  i could just stop using vlc, but is there a way to, in mplayer, expand the size of the videos?
[06:16] <scguy318> BoltClock: because the app does not understand ext3 journaling
[06:16] <misslecommander> you have a stream you want me to try ?
[06:16] <scguy318> BoltClock: ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, apart from journaling
[06:16] <loops_> scguy318: sc wouldn't happen to stand for supercollider, would it?
[06:16] <BoltClock> scguy318: ok, will reboot ubuntu in recovery mode now
[06:16] <scguy318> loops_: no, and you're not the first to ask me what sc stood for :P
[06:17] <monkey__> how to check my ISP's bandwith?
[06:17] <r3n0c> is it possible to expand videos in mplayer? so that they would be fullscreen?
[06:17] <scguy318> monkey__: visit a bandwidth test site
[06:17] <scguy318> r3n0c: probably, try double-clicking the window? not sure
[06:17] <r3n0c> ok sorry i went to far from my router
[06:18] <r3n0c> anybody know how to increase the size of videos in mplayer? to full screen or such
[06:18] <scguy318> r3n0c: probably, try double-clicking the window? not sure
[06:18] <dsnyders> Hi All!  Is there a utility to merge directories that doesn't merge files, or compare files at different depths of the directory trees?
[06:18] <hobophobe> r3n0c, alternatively right click and 'full screen' or such?
[06:19] <corinth> What is the default torrent program in gutsy?
[06:19] <Dark> What file systems is gutsy abe to read?
[06:19] <Dark> *able
[06:19] <victorneo> corinth: I recommend deluge
[06:19] <scguy318> Dark: a lot
[06:19] <monkey__> scguy318: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/  , it says 536.85kilobits per second  and 65.53kilobytes per second  , what it mean?
[06:19] <corinth> victorneo: What are the advantages of it?
[06:19] <scguy318> Dark: probably of interest of you would be FAT/ext2/3/NTFS
[06:20] <Starnestommy> and I think reiser
[06:20] <victorneo> corinth: its pretty similar to utorrent for Windows, and its pretty lightweight
[06:20] <genii> monkey__: 1 byte = 8 bits
[06:20] <scguy318> monkey__: your download is 536.85 kb/s and your upload is 65.53 kb/s
[06:20] <BoltClock> hold on, what was the command again?
[06:20] <monkey__> genii: ah... sorry, i didn't see. one said BIT, the other one said BYTES
[06:20] <victorneo> corinth: you can grab the latest ubuntu deb for deluge at http://deluge-torrent.org/
[06:20] <scguy318> BoltClock: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, after you finish, just jam Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot
[06:21] <BoltClock> scguy318: exactly what i did to reboot lol
[06:21] <victorneo> BoltClock is from Singapore as well?
[06:21] <genii> scguy318: No, 536.85 kb/s and 65.53 kB/s
[06:21] <BoltClock> victorneo: yeah :)
[06:21] <scguy318> genii: my mistake, I kinda skimmed over that
[06:21] <misslecommander> what is deluge ?
[06:21] <hobophobe> a bittorrent program?
[06:22] <scguy318> misslecommander: a BitTorrent client
[06:22] <misslecommander> thank you
[06:22] <JOINERIC> is there a known problem with azureus and java 6
[06:22] <dsnyders> scguy318, how does it compare to ktorrent?
[06:22] <BoltClock> brb
[06:22] <monkey__> scguy318: is that the download speed to my laptop or to my wireless router?  my laptop is on wifi.  maybe my bandwith will be faster if i run the test on a eth0 on my other computer?
[06:23] <misslecommander> wifi cn download quite fast, i run 400kbps down at times
[06:23] <victorneo> JOINERIC: did you update your Ubuntu?
[06:23] <misslecommander> i am sure it can go higher
[06:23] <dsnyders> monkey__, It probably doesn't matter.  The bottleneck will be the link between your home network and your ISP
[06:23] <corinth> How do I find an open port to tell deluge to work through?
[06:23] <fitztrev> Is there a video editing program that allows you to simply add titles and credits?
[06:23] <Zamo> quit
[06:23] <Starnestommy> JOINERIC: the recent xorg upgrade has some problems witj Java and WxWidgets
[06:23] <scguy318> monkey__: running from Ethernet will probably be faster
[06:23] <Starnestommy> *with
[06:23] <victorneo> corinth: I just told it to use a random port
[06:24] <monkey__> dsnyders: i think it will be slightly faster, cause i am very far away from my router right now
[06:24] <genii> monkey__: Generally wired connections are faster, less error correction involved, etc also no crypting/decrypting data depending on wep/wap setup
[06:24] <JOINERIC> well i have been messing with my java since i installed netbeans and eclipse and all of the sudden azureus wont even open
[06:25] <rajasun> Think the issues caused by that recent X.org upgrade has been resolved. See topic i.e. type /topic
[06:25] <misslecommander> monkey_: you can adjust rts and packet frag thresholds
[06:25] <JOINERIC> the splash screen wont even come up
[06:26] <misslecommander> you will however increase overhead, but given your router supports cts you will have a more stable connection
[06:26] <mkquist> victorneo: yes, gives me error 403 forbidden?  any thoughts?
[06:26] <monkey__> genii: yeah, unless that website , http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ , strips all those networking infrastructure inside my home, and conduct the test with just my ISP and my main router.
[06:26] <scguy318> mkquist: update and try again
[06:27] <mkquist> victorneo: did, same... i'll take another shot.   I'm the only one?  mannnn.... outkasted.. =P
[06:27] <Starnestommy> openoffice works for me
[06:27] <victorneo> mkquist: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:27] <rajasun> mkquist: try with another mirror, then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade again
[06:28] <BoltClock> scguy318: reconfigured, tried starting ubuntu again, still stuck at those five lines
[06:28] <rajasun> maybe not all the mirrors have been synced as yet
[06:28] <Plenox9> Hmm, this is probably a simple problem, some setting I haven't messed with yet.
[06:28] <BoltClock> back on windows
[06:28] <genii> monkey__: Almost all bandwidth test sites use some form of data transfer to whatever machine you are using, not the router. which would be difficult .
[06:28] <mkquist> victorneo: will do, thanx for the idea
[06:28] <Plenox9> How do I make it stop showing programs from other desktops in the bottom bar
[06:29] <rajasun> Plenox9: remove the window list applet from your bottom panel
[06:29] <viking> where do I make changes to the mouse script settings? I need to add some lines to get my laser mouse's extra buttons working.
[06:29] <monkey__> genii: yes, since the ethernet frame and ip header is discarded and recreated between the transfer.
[06:29] <BoltClock> scguy318: what now?
[06:29] <Plenox9> rajasun, hmm
[06:29] <Roky> hey can someone helpme Im trying to get my cube running on my desktop with ubuntu 7.10 , compiz fusion
[06:30] <mkquist> victorneo: looks to be working now... guess just needed to be a little more persistent
[06:30] <monkey__> genii: the mac address and ip header are re created
[06:30] <mkquist> victorneo: thanx again
[06:30] <genii> rajasun: Won't that result in the app that IS on that dsktop not being there also?
[06:30] <victorneo> mkquist: no prob, have a nice day ;)
[06:30] <mkquist> victorneo: u 2
[06:30] <monkey__> genii: http://www.hawaiiantel.com/internet/index.htm   look, my isp
[06:30] <Plenox9> rajasun, that's kinda what I was thinking. I remember there was a setting a long time ago.
[06:30] <Allthenicksareta> ahhh ---IRC...how i remember thee
[06:30] <Allthenicksareta> been a long time
[06:30] <Plenox9> Not sure if they removed it or not.
[06:31] <BoltClock> victorneo: think you could help me out?
[06:31] <rajasun> genii: well if u minimized the running opened app...yeah...u will have a hard time looking for it again ;)
[06:31] <pvl1> Roky first make sure ur video card can do it
[06:31] <dsnyders> Allthenicksareta, welcome back.
[06:31] <Roky> hey can someone helpme Im trying to get my cube running on my desktop with ubuntu 7.10 , compiz fusion, I have everything revolving around it turned on, but when I hit the keys for it, it shows the flat screen with 4, instead of the cube.
[06:31] <keith-> how do i download a source rpm?  and how would i apply a patch to it?
[06:31] <Plenox9> rajasun, I don't see what you're talking about. Care to clarify?
[06:31] <Allthenicksareta> now--for support
[06:31] <Roky> pvl1, nvidia 7950 gtx2, it can run it perfectly
[06:31] <viking> where do I make changes to the mouse script settings? I need to add some lines to get my laser mouse's extra buttons working.
[06:31] <Roky> sli
[06:32] <Roky> it'll run good
[06:32] <pvl1> Roky indeed it can i thought u meant something else, u got the settings manager or whatever its called running?
[06:32] <rajasun> genii: but I think that can be solved by the window selector applet instead
[06:32] <genii> monkey__: All ISP advertise "Up to " whatever speeds. You never get those unless you are basically situated next door to their equipment however
[06:32] <victorneo> BoltClock: if the reconfiguration doesn't work, that I am out of ideas
[06:32] <Roky> pvl1, yes I do
[06:32] <BoltClock> victorneo: ok then. so right now... i cant even use ubuntu because X isnt starting properly. sigh, drivers
[06:33] <viking> what file do I edit the mouse driver?
[06:33] <pvl1> Roky from what i remeber, there should be a setting for that. usually its like u hold down ctrl+alt and move the mouse around, but look in the settings to make sure its on. also u need xgl
[06:33] <rajasun> Plenox9: right click on the bottom panel where your running apps are showing, look for properties, see it says window list, delete it, right click on the same panel again, add window selector applet in its place
[06:33] <monkey__> genii: what's your result on http://www.bandwidthplace.com/  , if you don't mind me asking
[06:33] <Allthenicksareta> OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously)
[06:33] <victorneo> BoltClock: can't help much since i am on an ATI card.. but the reconfiguration fix the problems i encounter most of the time
[06:33] <genii> monkey__: Give me a minute
[06:33] <astro76> !mouse | viking
[06:33] <ubotu> viking: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[06:34] <Allthenicksareta> Tried nosplash with 0 success
[06:34] <Roky> ive got it all, im not like someone who doesnt know drivers and stuff, I just have never been able to get the cube working in gutsy
[06:34] <sams_gibbon> i read that u can mount win partitions in the /mnt than /media so its mounted but still doesn show up in the desktop...can some one enlighten me on how to change the mount point from /media to /mnt...
[06:34] <Roky> with compiz
[06:34] <Roky> everything else works great pvl1
[06:34] <scguy318> BoltClock: hmm, perhaps remove nvidia-glx? might fix your xorg.conf, else, err, I'm unfortunately out of ideas (getting late for me :()
[06:34] <viking> thanks astro76
[06:34] <Plenox9> rajasun, yeah mate. Nothing in properties about a window list :/
[06:34] <BoltClock> scguy318: remove nvidia-glx?
[06:35] <moDumass> ok awesome i have the NAS hdd mounted on my filesystem, i was kinda hoping it would make file transfer faster, but it didnt, its slower still
[06:35] <Allthenicksareta> I thought I accomplised something special when I got to the boot screen
[06:35] <genii> monkey__: 839.7 and 102.5
[06:35] <Plenox9> All I get are the panel properties with orientation and the such.
[06:35] <victorneo> BoltClock: you can try reinstalling.. but it will take your afternoon away I guess
[06:35] <pvl1> Roky, well the last piece of advice i can give u is this site: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/04/compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbin/
[06:36] <BoltClock> victorneo: reinstalling ubuntu?
[06:36] <rajasun> Plenox9: don't do it from your current working desktop, goto desktop 2 (assuming you are on desktop 1 atm) right click on the bottom panel, till u find window list
[06:36] <pvl1> Roky-otherwise i dunno
[06:36] <BoltClock> victorneo: i have an apparently lightning fast computer, ubuntu installed within ten minutes yesterday :/
[06:36] <victorneo> BoltClock: yeah, since you would at least be able to access a low gfx ubuntu
[06:37] <monkey__> genii: nice
[06:37] <misslecommander> Ubuntu takes around 30-45 mins for me. thats taking my time
[06:37] <victorneo> BoltClock: great, you can try reinstalling again so we can work from a low gfx ubuntu
[06:37] <omgbbqwtf> Thats better
[06:37] <BoltClock> actually, the moment after i installed ubuntu, it could display in a very large resolution and not in low gfx mode... except that there was mad flickering
[06:37] <Plenox9> rajasun, I know what the problem is now. I've wasted your time. :P
[06:37] <genii> monkey__: I'm on a laptop with 802.11n, wrt54g wap, speedstream 6520 modem/router based in Toronto Canada, ADSL
[06:38] <BoltClock> when i enabled the restricted driver i get no more flickering but needed to run in low gfx mode
[06:38] <sams_gibbon> ANYONE????
[06:38] <BoltClock> and soon both cases needed low gfx mode -.-
[06:38] <rajasun> Plenox9: np
[06:38] <sams_gibbon> :)
[06:38] <BoltClock> victorneo: how would i in the first place reinstall ubuntu then?
[06:38] <omgbbqwtf> rajusun ... can I waste your time now/
[06:38] <Gnine> ubotu
[06:38] <joot> sams_gibbon,???
[06:38] <dbmoodb> hello i am having problems using a scx-4200 samsung printer over a network  --any one got any ideas (it works on other comps)
[06:38] <victorneo> BoltClock: Normally after you set to use the restricted driver, after you reboot it should *just work*
[06:39] <sams_gibbon> i read that u can mount win partitions in the /mnt than /media so its mounted but still doesn show up in the desktop...can some one enlighten me on how to change the mount point from /media to /mnt...
[06:39] <sams_gibbon> posted it a few min ago was waitin thats why :D
[06:39] <monkey__> genii: i am on laptop 802.11g, via westell modem.
[06:39] <monkey__> dsl
[06:39] <BoltClock> victorneo: yeah i had expected that too... so how do i reinstall it?
[06:39] <joot> sams_gibbon, Do you just wnt to read your win partion?
[06:39] <joot> want
[06:39] <dsnyders> sams_gibbon, /mnt is for manual temporary mounts.  /media is for automatic temporary mounts
[06:40] <sams_gibbon> nope..i want it to be rw but just not show up in the desktop
[06:40] <viking> what is an easy to use console text file editor?
[06:40] <victorneo> BoltClock: Did you install via the Live CD? you can install it the same way, just get Ubuntu to install over your existing Ubuntu
[06:40] <omgbbqwtf> OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously)-- nosplash has 0 effect
[06:40] <Starnestommy> viking: nano is the easiest, but there's also emacs and vim
[06:40] <sams_gibbon> so theres no hope for me dsnyders? :(
[06:40] <joot> sams_gibbon, I think you need ntfs3g for that..
[06:40] <BoltClock> victorneo: yes live CD. ill restart now
[06:41] <night_slither> ubuntu is so great
[06:41] <genii> sams_gibbon: edit the /etc/fstab and change all /media/wherever   to /mnt/wherever              also make those directories
[06:41] <omgbbqwtf> well night ... thats nice to hear
[06:41] <sams_gibbon> thats it geni????
[06:41] <genii> sams_gibbon: I just told you: edit the /etc/fstab and change all /media/wherever   to /mnt/wherever              also make those directories
[06:41] <sams_gibbon> oh...gr8..thanks a ton
[06:41] <genii> sams_gibbon: edit the file with admin privelege of course
[06:41] <Gnine> gedit can edit configuration files as well
[06:42] <night_slither> so many great alternative solutions
[06:42] <victorneo> sams_gibbon: sudo gedit /etc/fstab to edit it with gedit
[06:42] <EdwardXP> how do i vlc stream a file for my buddie.. will he need to view thefile on VLC ?
[06:42] <omgbbqwtf> Id like to get mine working -- thatd be nice
[06:42] <genii> joot: It's not that he can't read his drives. He just wants them not appearing on desktop so therefore not in /media folder but to mount under /mnt instead
[06:43] <dsnyders> Hi All!  Is there a utility to merge directories that doesn't merge files, or compare files at different depths of the directory trees?
[06:43] <jscinoz> Hey guys,I recently found and have been using the program XQF (a game server browser) I'm wondering if its possible to add custom games to its game list provided you know the master server details and such. If so, how is this done?
[06:43] <sethk> dsnyders, not sure exactly what you mean, but check   diff -r   which compares directories
[06:44] <victorneo> genii: I believe you can use gconf to disable Nautilus from showing the drive icons, but they remain in /media
[06:44] <night_slither> i'm thinking of getting an XFX video card, anybody using one?
[06:44] <genii> victorneo: Ah, nice. Haven't seen that one yet
[06:44] <joot> Genii, oh ok sorry if I made a bad :-(
[06:44] <omgbbqwtf> OK -- I have an ati x1650 (AGP) -- and I can finally get ubuntu past the boot screen (live cd) using the nolapic command edit -- but after the checks, my screen goes black and my monitor goes into standby (so the vid card isnt sending signals obviously)-- nosplash has 0 effect
[06:44] <scguy318> night_slither: their web server sucks, got a NullPointerException stack dump when visiting their page :P
[06:45] <victorneo> genii: this should help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-193470.html
[06:45] <genii> victorneo: Bookmarked
[06:45] <ubud> any software to recover a accidentaly reformated hard disk
[06:45] <night_slither> hmmm, the cards good though??
[06:45] <Gnine> why not use the desktop for its intended purpose
[06:45] <misslecommander> ubud there is but most of it is commercial software and hardware
[06:46] <scguy318> night_slither: in that aspect I can't say, I am no good with hardware :(
[06:46] <sethk> Gnine, too easy.  too sensible.
[06:46] <genii> omgbbqwtf: Plug another monitor into the other output and see if the video is going there
[06:46] <jscinoz> night_slither, different brands of nvidia cards should all generally be good, they all use the same driver.
[06:46] <ubud> someone here recommend something call test drive
[06:46] <Gnine> ease of use rings a bell indeed..
[06:46] <night_slither> yeah, i have ati now, i don't like it at all but its old
[06:46] <BoltClock> victorneo: im on the live CD now
[06:46] <ubud> cannot remember that software for recover hard disk, free of course
[06:47] <misslecommander> ubud i dont knw of that, i would google the name and cross reference revocer with it
[06:47] <night_slither> open gl is really bad on ubuntu
[06:47] <victorneo> BoltClock: Try installing Ubuntu over your exising Ubuntu
[06:47] <omgbbqwtf> mmm---maybe a fix ... brb
[06:47] <BoltClock> victorneo: going through setup now
[06:47] <sams_gibbon> thanks victorneo from ur link i got this...the exact answer to my probs in detail...http://www.joshgerdes.com/blog/2007/10/30/move-mounted-partition-icons-from-the-desktop-in-ubuntu-710/
[06:47] <misslecommander> as long as the drive hadnt been written onto, or data overlapping, the data untouched is likely to be recovered given its not been encrypted

[06:48] <alanbshepard70> What's good to use to burn .vob and .ifo files to a dvd so they can be played in a dvd player? I've tried several programs such as DeVeDe, ManDVD and  qDVDauthor. Except for DeVeDe they work fine at making the files for a dvd but never proceed with burning the disc so I would like a stand alone burner program.
[06:48] <Shuggle> Is there any special way that I should install vmware server?

[06:51] <BoltClock> victorneo: done, can i just unplug the thumbdrive without doing anything else?
[06:51] <night_slither> how is it with ubuntu?
[06:51] <sethk> dsnyders, can't think of a way to do that without writing some python or similar tool code.
[06:51] <unagi> BoltClock: unmount
[06:51] <sethk> umount, not unmount
[06:51] <victorneo> BoltClock: right click on the drive -> Unmount volume
[06:51] <night_slither> i'm thinking of getting one with a gigabyte mb
[06:51] <BoltClock> unagi, victorneo: done, will reinstall now
[06:52] <Gnine> it is recommendable to double click the drive icon and select unmount to prevent data loss
[06:52] <victorneo> BoltClock: enjoy, i am reading ur blog ;)
[06:52] <dsnyders> sethk,  I was afraid you might say that.  My scripting skills leave much to be desired.
[06:52] <EdwardXP> im using crossover 6.2 installed; with WoW and couter Strike Srouce; bothr unning at the same time.. plus installing a file and watching some 720p porn...
[06:52] <BoltClock> victorneo: my blog? at novalistic.com or wordpress.com?
[06:52] <bakom> hey, how can I scroll down in a console?
[06:52] <EdwardXP> running
[06:52] <victorneo> BoltClock: reading the wordpress
[06:52] <prakriti> bakom : pg-up, pg-down

[06:53] <BoltClock> also, ive unmounted but the light on my thumbdrive is still glowing
[06:53] <EdwardXP> 512DDr2 PCi-E
[06:53] <prakriti> bakom : sorry, i mean shift-pgup  shift-pgdown
[06:53] <BoltClock> Safely Remove Hardware on windows would stop the light from glowing
[06:53] <sawfembc> hello
[06:53] <BoltClock> unplug anyway?
[06:53] <night_slither> no the motherboard
[06:53] <victorneo> BoltClock: yeah, so long u have unmounted it it is fine
[06:53] <EdwardXP> 2GB-800mhz ram,    ; ECS motherboard :( it' was a fry's deal
[06:53] <genii> BoltClock: sync;eject /dev/<whatever the drive designation is>
[06:53] <Gnine> if the system sais it is unmounted, proceed
[06:54] <BoltClock> genii: never mind, unplugged
[06:54] <misslecommander> wont do that again, google gave me a hacksit to kill ubuntu
[06:54] <bakom> prakriti, thanks, that works, is there a way to reduce the font size or something... because the resolution is so small,  don't see the whole line of text
[06:54] <EdwardXP> plus i needed to get a 24pin power supply
[06:54] <EdwardXP> i was like what the hell...
[06:54] <BoltClock> victorneo: did you kinda guess my url or something? lol
[06:54] <prakriti> bakom : you need to use a framebuffer for that
[06:54] <prakriti> bakom: or X
[06:54] <victorneo> BoltClock: google's your best friend
[06:55] <Joe__> anyone know anything about firefox causing hard locks on 7.10?
[06:55] <BoltClock> victorneo: lol
[06:55] <prakriti> bakom : or login from remote via ssh in a terminal
[06:55] <BoltClock> everybody loves google
[06:55] <bakom> hmm, I can't atm
[06:55] <BoltClock> now to work on my posts while it installs
[06:56] <BoltClock> it is 2:55 pm now, i wanna see how fast it is :P
[06:56] <BoltClock> 56
[06:56] <misslecommander> google good, but still hits you with bad sites
[06:56] <misslecommander> is there a HOSTS file for ubuntu ?
[06:56] <Gnine> access to data comes with some responsibility
[06:56] <victorneo> misslecommand: /etc/hosts
[06:56] <misslecommander> or soemthng that will act as it
[06:56] <scguy318> BoltClock: I'll apologize for my inability to assist, I am going for the night, good luck
[06:57] <BoltClock> scguy318: its ok. good night
[06:57] <joot> alanbshepard70, if you want a burnder gnomebaker is my reccomend
[06:57] <misslecommander> victorneo thank you
[06:57] <victorneo> scgy318: good night
[06:57] <joot> burner
[06:57] <victorneo> scguy318: good night
[06:57] <victorneo> misslecommander: no prob, just learnt it in my linux class 2 weeks ago ;)
[06:57] <BoltClock> victorneo: got a blog too? lol
[06:57] <BoltClock> victorneo: wait, i told google not to index my wordpress.com blog...
[06:57] <Gnine> brasero is a disc burning application that can be found in the repositories
[06:58] <misslecommander> victorneo i can do the same as with windows <IP_ADDRESS>    blockedsite.com ?
[06:58] <BoltClock> rather, i told wordpress.com not to let google index my blog
[06:58] <victorneo> BoltClock: i'll add you to my msn so we can chat more later
[06:58] <BoltClock> victorneo: know my address dont you?
[06:58] <dbmoodb> misslecommander yes, but you could just put it in hosts-deny
[06:58] <BoltClock> ubuntu install 45%
[06:59] <misslecommander> victorneo ok good enough thank you
[06:59] <dbmoodb> no ?
[06:59] <victorneo> BoltClock: yup, just did some digging around
[07:00] <BoltClock> why are irc names so much more colorful in linux pidgin than in windows pidgin?
[07:00] <BoltClock> wait... should ask in #pidgin
[07:00] <BoltClock> lol
[07:00] <joot> alanbshepard70, if you want a burner gnomebaker is my reccomend
[07:03] <ubud> any data recovery software?
[07:03] <Creed> How can I give all users write permission to a certain folder?<PHONE_NUMBER> or 4754?
[07:04] <BoltClock> installation has been at 82% for a little, is this normal?
[07:04] <BoltClock> little while*
[07:04] <joot> boltclock, yes
[07:05] <BoltClock> ok
[07:05] <genii> !permissions
[07:05] <ubotu> An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[07:06] <genii> bah. that is a synonym of !fhs
[07:06] <BoltClock> 95%
[07:08] <genii> Creed: A better explanation than whats there or in the manpage http://www.pageresource.com/cgirec/chmod.htm
[07:09] <BoltClock> victorneo: here i am, on reinstalled gutsy
[07:09] <victorneo> BoltClock: So its in low gfx mode?
[07:09] <joot> boltclock, that did not take so long huh??
[07:09] <BoltClock> in normal gfx mode. restricted driver disabled. screen flickers madly when dragging or scrolling
[07:09] <BoltClock> joot: yeah, guess 4 GB RAM and a dual core processor were worth it :)
[07:10] <kr00l> Need help with Compiz Fusion Themes
[07:10] <victorneo> BoltClock: try enabling the restricted drivers, then restart your PC
[07:10] <joot> boltclock, Too true :-)
[07:11] <Creed> alright thanks genii, its 777 :)
[07:11] <BoltClock> wait... downloading updates.
[07:11] <Creed> genii, thought id have to mess with special permissioms but the default takes care of it
[07:11] <BoltClock> so after i enable the driver, the expected thing to happen is everything returns to normal?
[07:11] <BoltClock> and restart*
[07:11] <genii> Creed: It's good to be conservative with permissions and use 777 sparingly
[07:11] <groundup> I can't seem to get my wireless card working. I tried what was directed on http://i-eat-noobs.blogspot.com/2007/08/get-wireless-working-in-ubuntu-704.html to no avail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[07:11] <len> How can you boot without loading modules listed in the /etc/modules.  I need to disable one of the drivers, but it's causing a lockup before I can get to the modules file to remove it so it doesn't load.
[07:11] <victorneo> BoltClock: It should boot up in a normal resolution
[07:12] <Plenox9> rajasun, good news and bad news. The problem is compiz.
[07:12] <BoltClock> victorneo: hopefully itll work. if it does ill move on to sound because right now i cant hear a thing
[07:12] <Plenox9> Without it running, it works fine. With it, it acts like it's not really switching workspaces
[07:12] <joot> ground up, try using wifi radar sometimes it just works
[07:12] <Creed> genii, yeah, its a question on a college assignment heh couldnt figure it out since the teachers likes to be an ass and make the questions confusing
[07:12] <Creed> genii, ive been a systems admin for a couple years now, rarely do i use 777 :)
[07:13] <victorneo> BoltClock: Good luck dude, there should be around 200+ updates to download
[07:13] <BoltClock> victorneo: 169 updates :)
[07:13] <joot> boltclock, sounds are often off by default so you have to turn them on
[07:13] <htaccess> gettign a 403 from security.ubuntu.com ....
[07:13] <misslecommander_> how do i check if there is an update ? i chose to not do auto-update
[07:13] <victorneo> joot: Sound is off by default?
[07:13] <groundup> Okay, to clarify, I can see the network. I can't connect to the network. The network is working and I can connect on this laptop through Windows and all of my other laptops.
[07:14] <victorneo> misslecommander: sudo apt-get update then followed by sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:14] <BoltClock> joot: when my dad installed feisty on his own pc many months ago sound was on by default. and well feisty screwed up his stuff
[07:14] <BoltClock> and he never trusted linux again
[07:14] <clearzen> len: if you add the module to /etc/modprobe.d/blackist it will not load at boot

[07:14] <victorneo> misslecommander: no problem
[07:15] <Jangari> anyone used to customising thunderbird?
[07:15] <genii> Creed: It's a trick question then
[07:15] <victorneo> BoltClock: Well, it really depends on the PC
[07:15] <genii> Creed: Because write access to all users is not also execute or read access
[07:15] <joot> boltclock, Ouch I have had some problem with ubuntu but it has never killed anything
[07:15] <Jangari> trying to make it so signatures are inserted above the quote (in replies)
[07:15] <Creed> genii, yeah but 777 is the only thing that fit well so i went with it, 50/50 so mustve been right heh
[07:15] <LEECHY9> hey does any1 here know how to connect to the 2600 irc cause i can never connect to it
[07:16] <marx2k_> hey can someone help me test to see if my website is showing up?
[07:16] <clearzen> LEECHY9: 2600, like the magazine?
[07:16] <genii> Creed: Techically the correct answer would be 222
[07:16] <joot> victorneo, yes on some installations pays to check before trying to config something that is not swithed on
[07:16] <LEECHY9> ya
[07:16] <BoltClock> why dont we deal with my sound issue first?
[07:16] <marx2k_> pls msg me if you would like to help
[07:16] <BoltClock> victorneo: the first thing i should do is to double-click that volume icon right?
[07:16] <victorneo> BoltClock: yeah
[07:16] <bluefox83> can i get the link that has a ton of tips and howtos for doing stuff in gutsy?
[07:16] <misslecommander_> LEECHY9 you do know what that is, i would gather ?
[07:17] <bluefox83> like installing video drivers, and installing software, and getting scanners and printers running?
[07:17] <victorneo> BoltClock: Does it show anything as mute or something? because I haven't had a problem with sound yet
[07:17] <LEECHY9> i would gather?
[07:17] <clearzen> LEECHY9: well first you would have to connect to irc.2600.net
[07:17] <misslecommander_> some of them i think you need to be member of sorts, auth
[07:17] <BoltClock> victorneo: it looks like its muted.
[07:17] <LEECHY9> i tried it
[07:17] <narothepharoh> some good games?

[07:41] <techno_freak> narothepharoh, what is the command you executed for that error to come?
[07:41] <tumbleweed__> the problem is probably a slow drive, or power saving configs

[07:47] <makers_mark> help please.
[07:47] <drgonzo00000> techno_freak: thanks. I tried that and then i realized i had to use sudo and it worked
[07:47] <misslecommander_> groudup: i tried Knetwork Manager but that cause even more problems, even dumping my netcard
[07:47] <sn0n> wow.. joy..
[07:47] <s|k__> ha upgrading barely works
[07:47] <s|k__> you're going to try and downgrade? ;)
[07:47] <misslecommander_> ok, no downgrade for me
[07:47] <sn0n> s|k: just xorg
[07:47] <s|k> sn0n: 'just' ;)
[07:48] <misslecommander_> i will just wait till they fix it

[07:48] <sn0n> well that fcking update screwed it and i need to get on WoW
[07:48] <techno_freak> as far as i saw, people downgraded to their old version of xserver-xorg and it worked, the latest version is still to be fixed
[07:48] <misslecommander_> i am used to 3 4 or 10 crashes in a day
[07:48] <groundup> I am using ndiswrapper. I guess I will just stick with this for now. I am tired and I don't feel like fussing with it. I will probably continue to look for a solution using Windows.
[07:48] <sn0n> i have a few people that keep calling me and tellin me to hurry up and get back on
[07:48] <misslecommander_> i dont mind
[07:48] <nickrud> misslecommander_: what kind of things do you do to your system to cause that, I never crash
[07:48] <techno_freak> narothepharoh, open a terminal, cd ~/Desktop, then do sudo ./army....(whatever the file name is)
[07:48] <sn0n> yeah.. i never crash either..
[07:49] <misslecommander_> nickrud: nothing, i can sit here, make no changes to anything and it dies
[07:49] <sn0n> cept Firefox occasionally, but its the addons, not firefox. lol
[07:49] <nickrud> now, compiz has frozen a couple of times, but it's still beta
[07:49] <misslecommander_> nickrud: i eventually figure out whats causing it
[07:49] <s|k> compiz never freezes for me

[07:53] <victorneo> misslecommander_ : unfortunately BoltLock's resolution still remained the same. he will be posting to the forum as joot recommended
[07:53] <Joe__> jack_sparrow around?
[07:53] <misslecommander_> nickrud: i am still "green" but its becoming alot easier to do things
[07:53] <nickrud> Joe__: he's gone until monday he said
[07:53] <narothepharoh> techno_freak: like this? narothepharoh@narothepharoh-desktop:~$ sudo ./armyops250linux.run
[07:54] <drgonzo00000> nickrud: it says Swap:      5695000          0    5695000
[07:54] <Joe__> bah... well maybe someone else can help.
[07:54] <misslecommander_> victorneo: the pastebin was what it did to mine, i hope it helped in any way. i tried to show what it changed on me
[07:54] <drgonzo00000> the 0 being the used
[07:54] <nickrud> drgonzo00000: if you follow the columns, that's total used and free
[07:54] <Joe__> been having these seemingly random freeze-ups, Jack thought maybe the PSU wasn't producing enough wattage... but I've been playing with it and it ONLY happens when I have firefox running
[07:54] <drgonzo00000> so does that mean its active
[07:54] <Joe__> complete hard lock
[07:54] <misslecommander_> vitorneo: oh , you mean post my pastebin ?
[07:55] <Joe__> anyone hear of firefox causing 7.10 to completely freeze up?
[07:55] <misslecommander_> FireFOx occasionally just diapears on me, no warning, no error dialong, just dies
[07:55] <nickrud> Joe__: not me. I've had compiz freeze up once or twice (pretty effects all over the screen)
[07:56] <Joe__> no compiz installed
[07:56] <nickrud> but then I'm running firefox from mozilla
[07:56] <Joe__> I do have the adobe flash installed, found a thread that suggested disabiling hardware acceleration in flash.. just ried that and it froze up again
[07:56] <joot> Joe_ does it to me occasionally usually on "naughty" sites
[07:56] <misslecommander_> how big a download is Compiz ?
[07:57] <dbmoodb> no joe
[07:57] <dbmoodb> just kill firefox
[07:57] <nickrud> misslecommander_: it came by default in gutsy
[07:57] <misslecommander_> nickrud: ok, i will have to check it out sometime.
[07:57] <Hazarath> I have a 2.0 SATA iterface and 2.o hub seemgly working at 1.1 speeds, how can I verify it's connected at the right speed, or correct it if it isn't?
[07:57] <patogen> I can't find how to make an iso of the contents of a folder ... I know of one stupid way and that is to burn a disk and make an iso from that
[07:57] <patogen> but is there another way?
[07:57] <Hazarath> Er... 2.0 USB SATA interface.
[07:57] <nickrud> misslecommander_: you can check with dpkg -l '*compiz*' | grep ii , any packages you see are installed (the ii)
[07:57] <Joe__> I can use epipheny... how ever you spell it for now... but I like my firefox
[07:58] <Joe__> maybe I'll have to wait for 8.04 and see if it's fixed there
[07:58] <misslecommander_> df -h
[07:58] <dbmoodb> ?
[07:58] <misslecommander_> for filesystem df -h
[07:58] <Gnine> to activate compiz in 7.10 gutsy: system > preferences > appereance > visual effects
[07:59] <okaasan> does anybody know how to set mplayer as the background in compiz?
[08:00] <okaasan> I remember it could be done in XGL
[08:00] <dbmoodb> bah
[08:00] <misslecommander_> if i go on extra visual effects, i may see you all in a little bit, as i may have to restart
[08:01] <joot> boltclock, did you get a resolve?
[08:01] <BoltClock> joot: nope, still stuck in low gfx mode
[08:02] <BoltClock> im on windows right now
[08:02] <misslecommander_> nice
[08:02] <joot> boltclock, I will go have another look you have nvidia card yes/
[08:02] <BoltClock> ya

[08:03] <narothepharoh> trying to run a file(armyops250linux.run) from desktop in a terminal is this how,narothepharoh@narothepharoh-desktop:~$ sudo ./armyops250linux.run
[08:03] <mark_gutsy> err pain
[08:03] <Hazarath> Need help findin out if a USB 2.0 drive and hub are working properly, it seems sluggish... videos play choppy, copy can take up to in the hours for a gig of data, etc... help?
[08:04] <astro76> narothepharoh: yes assuming you've done 'chmod +x armyops250linux.run' first
[08:04] <techno_freak> narothepharoh, yes
[08:04] <misslecommander_> Hazarath 2.0 is much fster than 1.1, if its taking that long, or much longer, you are more than likely running in 1.1
[08:05] <Hazarath> misslecommander_, I thought so, however, how do I correct it?
[08:05] <Newbie74> hi everyone... complete linux newbie here (thought I know my way around all  version of ms windows)... i need a bit of help
[08:05] <narothepharoh> astro76:narothepharoh@narothepharoh-desktop:~$ chmod +x armyops250linux.run
[08:05] <narothepharoh> chmod: cannot access `armyops250linux.run': No such file or directory
[08:06] <misslecommander_> Hazarath: you got me, i know took windows a while to get 2.0 driver support, i would think its prob not supported, but google may prove that wrong
[08:06] <Hazarath> Newbie74, just ask/state your problem. :3
[08:06] <astro76> narothepharoh: then the file isn't in the current directory, specify proper path or cd first
[08:06] <sn0n> anyone know a fix for this xorg problem? anything? cuz this is totally unacceptabl
[08:06] <misslecommander_> Hazarath: with the new extremely large USB, i woudl think it is or will be here soon
[08:07] <xTheGoat121x> Hazarath, I know that my USB 2.0 ports on my laptop and my desktop are both supported.
[08:07] <Flannel> sn0n: It has apparently be fixed, upgrade again (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)
[08:07] <Starnestommy> sn0n: it should've been fixed according to the /topic message
[08:07] <joot> boltclock, Have a sqiz at this it may help you.....http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/video-card-nvidia-driver-xlib-extension-glx-missing-on-display-0.0.-400724/
[08:07] <Newbie74> I'm trying to run the install from ubuntu live (running off the cd)... but it just freezes after step 3 (keyboard layout) while trying to start the partitioner (freezes at 46%)
[08:07] <Hazarath> misslecommander_, ya, it's a 320GB SATS drive... wish I could tell if it is. o.O
[08:07] <narothepharoh> astro76: its on my desktop i am running from desktop right?
[08:07] <BoltClock> reading..
[08:08] <astro76> narothepharoh: no you are in home as indicated by the ~ at the end of your bash prompt, so cd Desktop
[08:08] <Hazarath> Newbie74, is the drive good?
[08:08] <astro76> narothepharoh: *in your user home
[08:08] <Newbie74> I even tried to run the partion editor... but it also just scans and nothing happens
[08:08] <misslecommander_> Hazarath: google "USB 2.0 Debian" or "USB 2.O Ubuntu" , maybe others similiar

[08:09]  * humblerodent just fell backwards in his chair.
[08:09] <misslecommander_> Firefox crashes me once in a while. so i try to keep away from it
[08:09] <Newbie74> yes, it is NTFS and I can mount it... was assuming it would have to get formated during the nintall
[08:10] <TallHunkDan> firefox problem
[08:10] <TallHunkDan> crashes on me whenever i scroll down on certain websites
[08:10] <TallHunkDan> help pls
[08:10] <Starnestommy> TallHunkDan: do those sites have flash on them?
[08:11] <Hazarath> misslecommander_, I see this: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.kernel/browse_thread/thread/8bfab8355d6648df but, no idea what to do about it?
[08:11] <TallHunkDan> im not sure. whenever i use friendster it does keep on crashing
[08:11] <astro76> TallHunkDan: start disabling extensions untill it stops happening
[08:12] <TallHunkDan> ok.i will do that. thanks astro76
[08:12] <Hazarath> Newbie74, can you format it to FAT or FAT32? Linux can handle those much better.
[08:12] <victorneo> joot: does BoltClock need to do a "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" or something similar?
[08:12] <Joe__> anyone know how to enable PAE?
[08:13] <narothepharoh> astro76: Thank you its working now
[08:13] <Newbie74> i suppose I'll look for an old floppy boot disk and reformat and try again
[08:13] <Newbie74> thanks
[08:13] <bluefox83> !sane-pixma
[08:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sane-pixma - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:13] <Hazarath> Newbie74, Windows 98 boot CD is nice.
[08:13] <bluefox83> :/
[08:14] <routerl> Hello everyone. I am planning to run 2 monitors from a PCI card and a built in, motherboard video chipset. Can anyone foresee any problems, or should it just work by using the Screen and Graphics preferences menu in gnome? I'm running Gutsy.
[08:14] <joot>  victorneo, possibly yes but i am not good enough to reccomend a course of action as I tend to crash around until I get a fix or break
[08:15] <victorneo> joot: yeah, same here. i have an ATI card so i can't help him much if the restricted drivers don't work
[08:15] <BoltClock> victorneo: i used to have an ATI card on my previous box
[08:15] <BoltClock> victorneo: since rollercoaster tycoon 3 prefers ATI
[08:15] <moad> what is a good translation program ?
[08:16] <usamahashimi> Hello
[08:16] <usamahashimi> can you tell me that how can i download a particular filetype from a server using wget?
[08:16] <misslecommander_> victorneo: took me a while before i could  use the nvidia-gtk-new. i had to eliminate it as a problem so i could diag other problems
[08:16] <astro76> routerl: maybe, this is the first release with the dual monitor stuff in Screen and Graphics... I'd expect improvements from future releases
[08:16] <joot>  victorneo, I have both the ATI is a pita but I got the nvidias to work good after a bit of fooling around
[08:17] <misslecommander_> joot: same here. i am now running full effects
[08:17] <poli> what can be done when setup of the ttf-opensymbol package returns "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice: failed to write cache" in a "Updating fontconfig cache..." command?
[08:17] <routerl> astro76: What concerns me is the two video cards. I haven't seen any indication that gutsy even detected my motherboard integrated video card, which is why I asked. Any insights?
[08:17] <IndianGrl> is there a good tutorial to learn bash scripting?
[08:17] <victorneo> misslecommander: Mayhap he needs to verify that he has either of the nvidia drivers installed
[08:17] <joot> misslecomander, cool :-)
[08:17] <astro76> IndianGrl: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html
[08:17] <victorneo> misslecommander: which one do you have installed?
[08:18] <astro76> IndianGrl: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
[08:18] <yapyccky> guys i've a problem. im tryting to install ubuntu server but i get error during partitioning. it says that it can't mount root partition and it doesng to on...

[08:18] <Starnestommy> yapyccky: did you speficy a partition to be mounted on / ?
[08:18] <misslecommander_> vitorneo: i am not sure how i check, i know nvidia-gtk-new. how do i find out ?
[08:18] <yapyccky> Starnestommy, i did
[08:19] <misslecommander_> actully i think my system works faster on full effect, wierd, but sure does look like it

[08:21] <TallHunkDan> astro76 i disabled all extensions and it keeps on crashing - my firefox
[08:21] <Gnine> !beryl | skater
[08:21] <ubotu> skater: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[08:21] <dibri> It is possible to be connected to two private netwrks simultaniously right? I don't have too many pc's so the <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> would be best right
[08:21] <yapyccky> any idea?
[08:21] <skater> i see.
[08:21] <misslecommander_> ok brb

[08:22] <misslecommander_> vitorneo: this what you need ? NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' drive
[08:23] <misslecommander_> oh i see it just a sec

[08:25] <s|k> I got fastcgi running with C!
[08:26] <BoltClock> victorneo: you mean the restricted driver?
[08:26] <victorneo> BoltClock: Need to check your Synaptic instead
[08:26] <BoltClock> victorneo: ill go start ubuntu now
[08:26] <victorneo> what is your graphics card again?
[08:27] <BoltClock> nvidia geforce7100
[08:27] <misslecommander_> BoltClock: in Synaptic Package right click on the one you have installed and it will say something like  100.14.19+<IP_ADDRESS>-14.9
[08:27] <BoltClock> does being onboard matter?
[08:27] <BoltClock> misslecommander_: hmm ok
