[03:17] <Jordan_U> !alternate | tds5016
[03:18] <ubotu> tds5016: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[03:18] <tds5016> Jordan_U, where's the download?
[03:18] <Serbian_BoY> aha
[03:18] <gnomefreak> Serbian_BoY: please speak english in this channel
[03:18] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Same place as the LiveCD, just check the box at the bottom of the page for the alternate
[03:19] <Stormx2> tds5016: You might as well just do a normal upgrade unless you have a burning desire to waste blank cds.
[03:19] <Knux> Djordje : well right now  I just had to restart, it froze on me in the install, couldn't do anything at al
[03:19] <Knux> Djordje : I'll be trying again
[03:19] <tds5016> Stormx2, I would love to if it didn't give me an error :-(
[03:19] <Djordje> Knux: ok
[03:19] <Stormx2> tds5016: What error?
[03:19] <tds5016> one second.
[03:19] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Be sure to use pastebin
[03:20] <Stormx2> Jordan_U: Unless it's short ;)
[03:20] <tds5016> it just fails to grab a repo.
[03:20] <bruenig> tds5016, the gzip thing right
[03:20] <tds5016> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: change the country code
[03:20] <Stormx2> tds5016: Switch mirror.
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: sometimes apt-get update will fix
[03:20] <tds5016> gnomefreak, how?
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: take the us out of it and add gb instead
[03:20] <taomaster> how do u change the root password?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> tds5016, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[03:20] <Stormx2> !root | taomaster
[03:20] <bruenig> tds5016, sudo sed 's|/us|/ca|g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:20] <ubotu> taomaster: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[03:20] <CppIsWeird> im confused, i run a perl script that getstore()'s a file to where ever the script is running from (in this case my desktop) and the file wont appear unless i sudo it. how come?
[03:21] <Knux> Djordje : Is there any way to use the partitionner in 7 out from the install? I know in 6.06 boot you could
[03:21] <gnomefreak> tds5016: use bruenig way :)
[03:21] <Stormx2> What?  It's awful.
[03:21] <PurpZeY> hrcerqueira: Good news: I found it...Bad news: It seems proprietary to sony and consequently it probably won't work for you, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88611&highlight=sony+laptop+brightness+power&page=4
[03:21] <Flannel> Stormx2: you probably want sudo
[03:21] <ponicg> Hmm - is Wubi any slower than a native install?
[03:22] <Stormx2> Flannel: Even so, i don't think people who genuinely need help would appreciate matrix references.
[03:22] <Jordan_U> Knux,  What do you mean? You can run Gparted from the liveCD and the installer has it's own GUI front end also
[03:22] <hrcerqueira> PurpZeY: thanks, maybe it will work, and i'll google for a while more
[03:22] <gnomefreak> Stormx2: bring it up in #ubuntu-ops if it bothers you that much
[03:22] <Djordje> Knux: yes.. but if you want just to partition the disk, it's better to download the gparted iso.. that is the program used in the ubuntu installer
[03:22] <hrcerqueira> PurpZeY: because i'm almost sure i once used a tool wher i could set the screen brightness
[03:22] <Flannel> Stormx2: hmm.  I agree.  Mention it in -ops
[03:22] <Stormx2> gnomefreak: Will do.
[03:22] <tds5016> Jordan_U, should I set it to use main server?
[03:23] <Serbian_BoY> oo picke
[03:23] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Sure

[03:23] <Pirate_Hunter> hi people I cant seem to access sudo - ig et the message "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440"
[03:23] <smoenux> I cannot connect or copy files from Windows PC connected to my Ubuntu Box. Can someone please assists? This has been a error that's been going for quite a while, and I've been unable to solve it
[03:23] <gnomefreak> Serbian_BoY: if you are here to troll you need to find somewhere else
[03:24] <tds5016> where are the main servers anyhow?
[03:24] <Serbian_BoY> jedite govna:)
[03:24] <gnomefreak> tds5016: gb
[03:24] <tds5016> where is gb?
[03:24] <bruenig> tds5016, great britain
[03:24] <gnomefreak> great britin
[03:24] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Great Britain

[03:24] <Flannel> !mirrors | tds5016
[03:24] <ubotu> tds5016: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[03:24] <tds5016> oh snap... this will certainly take a while to download then, will it not?
[03:24] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Yes
[03:24] <bruenig> tds5016, yeah, it has to go across the freaking ocean
[03:24] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: reboot into single user mode and fix the permissions
[03:25] <tds5016> It was going to anyhow... but why won't the us servers work that it fails to do an upgrade?
[03:25] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: did you do something silly?  like chmod +w recursively?
[03:25] <bruenig> tds5016, that error happens from time to time, I am not sure what the deal is exactly
[03:26] <tds5016> bruenig, so if I switch to the gb servers it will wokr?
[03:26] <tds5016> there is no way to use us servers after that error?
[03:26] <gnomefreak> tds5016: gb is working atm
[03:26] <bruenig> tds5016, do the command I gave you before
[03:26] <bruenig> tds5016, it will switch you to canada
[03:26] <gnomefreak> tds5016: us servers are not very reliable
[03:26] <jericho> can anyone recommend a USB wifi adapter that will work with feisty?
[03:26] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: cna you be more specific i ahve rebooted 3 times and no go, i dont no what yu mean - rememba newb and no I put a command in /etc/sudoers/ for firestartr to start without password but i think it was also the script i used to access nautilus
[03:26] <PurpZeY> !hardware | jericho
[03:26] <bruenig> maybe you can apt-get install universal-healthcare
[03:26] <ubotu> jericho: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:26] <jericho> ty
[03:27] <PurpZeY> bruenig: hehe.
[03:27] <tds5016> gnomefreak, bruenig I just unfortunately started the ugrade like a numbskull without changing ot canada.
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> pickee
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> sta radite
[03:27] <gnomefreak> tds5016: doesnt matter
[03:27] <matthew2> how do I run fsck?  I am on a livecd and want to run my partition /dev/sda3.  but if I type 'fsck sda3' nothing happens.
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> pickice
[03:27] <bruenig> funny
[03:27] <tds5016> bruenig, thanks for the help you offered with canada thouhg :-/. I guess I'm just going to have to wait a week for the download to finish.
[03:27] <tds5016> ahah.
[03:27] <Hizzeh> Hey guys
[03:27] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: reboot, at your GRUB menu, select "recovery console", then when you get there, `chmod 440 /etc/sudoers`, then reboot and you'll be good.
[03:27] <tds5016> haha! That's what I get for being impatient.
[03:27] <CppIsWeird> im confused, i run a perl script that getstore()'s a file to where ever the script is running from (in this case my desktop) and the file wont appear unless i sudo it. how come?
[03:28] <bruenig> tds5016, you can kill it and start over probably, especially if all it has done is started downloading stuff
[03:28] <Hizzeh> So i've been wanting to get into a linux distro for a long time, but I'm having a problem isntalling the live CD. It freezes before I can view the OS when it loads onto my memory
[03:28] <Jordan_U> matthew2, sudo fsck /dev/sda3
[03:28] <thepumpkin> how can i Upgrate to gutsy?
[03:28] <Hizzeh> I was wondering what may be happening?
[03:28] <thepumpkin> i'm in feisty
[03:28] <tds5016> bruenig, Whats the command for the canada sservers?
[03:28] <Pirate_Hunter> kk will try
[03:28] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Depending on where you are putting it, the file won't write without permissions
[03:28] <Flannel> !gutsy | thepumpkin
[03:28] <bruenig> thepumpkin, gutsy is in alpha right now, but go to #ubuntu+1 if you want to
[03:28] <ubotu> thepumpkin: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1
[03:28] <PurpZeY> thepumpkin: Gusty isn't stable, or supported yet.
[03:28] <tds5016> er canadia as it were... ;-)
[03:28] <matthew2> Jordan_U:  that's what I do, but it just says '/dev/sda3: clean, 187441/6406144 files, 1749598/12799080 blocks'
[03:28] <bruenig> tds5016, sudo sed 's|/us|/ca|g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:28] <matthew2> instantly, without doing anything.
[03:28] <thepumpkin> I KNOW. BUT I NEED IT.
[03:29] <PurpZeY> !caps
[03:29] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:29] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: lose the caps and join #ubuntu+1
[03:29] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: read topic in that channel
[03:29] <tds5016> bruenig, that command will still work after I've already switched to gb?
[03:29] <thepumpkin> Sorry.
[03:29] <thepumpkin> :S
[03:29] <thepumpkin> thanks.
[03:29] <bruenig> tds5016, oh no, change /us to /gb
[03:29] <Jordan_U> thepumpkin, If you don't know how to then you probably shouldn't be using it... Why do you "need" it anyways?
[03:29] <tds5016> works for me ;-). I thought that's what sed did.
[03:30] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: Always asking the practical question.
[03:30] <mroc> can anyone tell me how to configure DAAP in amarok?
[03:30] <ProN00b> since i unmounted and resized one of my fat32 disks it doesn't show up on the desktop anymore, even when mounted manually, how do i get it to show up again ?
[03:30] <ProN00b> (and get automounted
[03:30] <matthew2> how do you run fsck?  my computer has been shutting down improperly so i loaded a livecd to run fsck, but it's not doing anything.
[03:30] <PurpZeY> ProN00b: How are you mounting it?
[03:31] <larry> hi
[03:31] <bruenig> ProN00b, drives only show up on the desktop when they are mounted automatically through hal
[03:31] <TaJMoX> un-mount the partition you want to fsck first
[03:31] <larry> laters
[03:31] <thepumpkin> the thing is Jordan_U that i run : sudo update-manager -c -d and "warning: could not initiate dbus
[03:31] <thepumpkin> current dist not found in meta-release file
[03:31] <thepumpkin> "
[03:31] <ProN00b> PurpZeY, mount /dev/hdd1
[03:31] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: not in here
[03:31] <matthew2> TajMox:  it is unmounted, that's why i loaded the livecd.
[03:31] <ProN00b> bruenig, how do i get hal to automatically mount it ?
[03:31] <Hobbsee> hi kkathman!
[03:31] <bruenig> ProN00b, don't know hal confuses me
[03:31] <bruenig> I have tried to figure it out but haven't yet
[03:32] <cyphase> Is there any reason that CUPS couldn't auto configure printers when they're connected, instead of having to go through a wizard (albeit a short one).
[03:32] <TaJMoX> matthew - go into terminal and type sudo e2fsck /dev/hdax   (or whatever your device name is)
[03:32] <tds5016> that's much faster. thank you bruenig
[03:32] <CppIsWeird> PurpZeY, i dont understand how permissions are a problem if im executeing it from xterm as me, and the script is on my desktop, which is in my userspace.
[03:32] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Where are you sending the files to?
[03:32] <bruenig> cyphase, I suppose it could seeing as it autodetects drivers and stuff for a lot of printers like hp but on occasion it might misdetect or might not detect anything at all and then you are left without knowing what happened
[03:32] <matthew2> TajMox:  does the same thing.  says this INSTANTLY without doing anything: '/dev/sda3: clean, 187441/6406144 files, 1749598/12799080 blocks'
[03:33] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Plus, and here I am over-stepping my knowledge a little, if the script looks to change something elsewhere...you know, sudo is needed.
[03:33] <Jordan_U> thepumpkin, 1: Why do you "need" Gutsy 2: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[03:33] <tntcoda> how can i get berkeley db installed? it isnt showing up in synaptic
[03:33] <CppIsWeird> PurpZeY, what do you mean? im not sending them anywhere, the script writes the file it gets where ever the scripts executeing directory is.
[03:33] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, is it executable
[03:33] <thepumpkin> Jordan_U: test software. this is a test machine.
[03:33] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: bruenig is smart.
[03:33] <hajhouse> is there another package besides ubuntu-keyring that provides extra archive-signing keys? i find it hard to believe that there are so many untrusted packages in feisty/main.
[03:33] <TaJMoX> matthew2: Trust that it's clean.   you're probably using ext3 which knows by journaling magic.   If you want to force it use the -f option
[03:34] <PurpZeY> thepumpkin: Why do you have to test software in gutsy as opposed to feisty?
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, erm? i have no idea why that would matter? the script is being run via perl, so wouldent technically perl be running the script and writing files?
[03:34] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, oh I didn't know it was a perl script
[03:34] <matthew2> TajMox:  It's not clean, otherwise it wouldn't have hung on shutdown 3 of the last 4 times.
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, ah, sorry.
[03:34] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, so you do what perl script.pl
[03:34] <bruenig> and it says what
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, yeah
[03:34] <TaJMoX> matthew2: maybe it's pausing like the for other reasons than your filesystem is dirty.    but try with the -f option
[03:35] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, it doesnt say anything, it just runs. when sudo perl script.pl the file appears on my desktop, without sudo it does not.
[03:35] <thepumpkin> PurpZeY: I need this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libdevel/libavutil-dev
[03:35] <pipegeek> Hi, folks.  Has anyone here ever grepped through their disk for any reason?  Because for me, grep is running out of memory
[03:35] <thepumpkin> is there another way to install it in feisty?
[03:35] <thepumpkin> without compiling it?
[03:35] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: no
[03:35] <jericho> ok... i check the hardware list. anything list that says it works out of the box shouldn't need an active internet connection to install... correct?
[03:35] <pipegeek> as in, "grep: /dev/hdc: Cannot allocate memory"
[03:35] <matthew2> TajMox:  ok, i will try to fource, but it's definitely not merely "pausing", as I've left it running for hours without it ever shutting down.
[03:35] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, this is my first linux program, so i really dont have much of an idea about these things.
[03:36] <pipegeek> thing has 2 gigs free
[03:36] <pipegeek> and I'm losing it
[03:36] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, odd, unless there is some test in the script to see what user you are then it shouldn't matter
[03:36] <thepumpkin> gnomefreak: I will try compile it.
[03:36] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, there is not. it uses a simple getstore() function.
[03:36] <hajhouse> !apt-key
[03:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-key - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:36] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, would you like the script? I could paste it somewhere
[03:36] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, well make sure you won Desktop and that it has 755 permissions
[03:36] <bruenig> you own*
[03:37] <nivekc1> is ubuntu the best distro of linux? or should i check out another one
[03:37] <bruenig> !best | nivekc1
[03:37] <ubotu> nivekc1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[03:37] <PurpZeY> !best | nivekc1
[03:37] <bruenig> pwnt
[03:37] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, if i can right click and create a file on my desktop, should not i have the ability for a program to do so as well?
[03:37] <PurpZeY> hehehe
[03:37] <TaJMoX> matthew2: next time shut down the Xorg server completely and try shutting down with shutdown -r now    and when it pauses go into a different terminal (using ctrl+alt+f2) and try viewing the logs like dmesg or cat /var/syslog or Xorg.0.log
[03:37] <CppIsWeird> nivekc1, yes.
[03:37] <thepumpkin> thanks.
[03:38] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, yeah you should, do ls -l ~
[03:38] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, and paste the desktop line
[03:38] <nivekc1> well thus far i love ubuntu! i was just making sure i was getting everything linux has to offer
[03:38] <bruenig> Desktop*
[03:38] <nivekc1> i have actually stopped using windows all together
[03:38] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, drwxr-xr-x
[03:38] <bruenig> nivekc1, I use arch, I like rolling release, never have to worry about big upgrades that sometimes break which the discrete release cycle of ubuntu is prone to do
[03:38] <newtubuntu> I have a GeForce nVidia, with 1Gb of RAM, and it seems like my system has a hard time with effects (compiz). Lots of black windows, freezes, etc. Anything I can do about it ?
[03:39] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: That line is the real truth. . .All flavors do something a little different...Most of them are based on the same "meat" it's the flavoring that is different.....mostly.
[03:39] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, not sure then, maybe #perl will know
[03:39] <bruenig> newtubuntu, #ubuntu-effects
[03:39] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, yeah, their dead or ... meowing... (... dont ask.)
[03:39] <PurpZeY> newtubuntu: I'd ask in #ubuntu-effects or #beryl
[03:40] <newtubuntu> is the a #compiz channel ?
[03:40] <bruenig> newtubuntu, probably
[03:40] <PurpZeY> newtubuntu: #beryl
[03:40] <nivekc1> is compiz fusion out yet?
[03:40] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: It's in beta and not stable
[03:40] <bruenig> nivekc1, alpha or beta stuff probably
[03:40] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: I've seen AT LEAST 3 people come in and say they are having issues with it
[03:41] <Nitrogen> bollocks
[03:41] <hajhouse> nivekc1: you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions. Ubuntu is a modern general-purpose distribution that offers everything normally expected in a distro...so unless your needs are very specialized, i'd say you are getting everything linux has to offer by using the latest ubuntu
[03:41] <gnomefreak> PurpZeY: more than that (almost everyone)
[03:41] <PurpZeY> gnomefreak: That was my impression, but I don't want to exagerate.
[03:42] <bruenig> wireless is also unstable because I have seen 1000000 come in here with problems
[03:42] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Yeah, but that is on ubuntu's side in terms of not supporting hardware.
[03:42] <bruenig> yeah I know
[03:42] <PurpZeY> or being inefficient in dealing with it
[03:43] <bruenig> this channel is basically wireless and redirects to #ubuntu-effects

[03:46] <momo> hello everybody
[03:46] <Invisionfree> Hi, I have an external monitor connected, and my Live CD is displaying on that. How can I make it display on normal monitor?
[03:46] <TaJMoX> momo : close your ears quick
[03:46] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Long and short of it....If you want to go to law school, all it takes is hardwork. If you can do A LOT of work, you can do it... /offtopic
[03:46] <bruenig> I don't worry about the work
[03:47] <momo> TajMox : okay ^
[03:47] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Normal monitor being laptop monitor?
[03:47] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Yep
[03:47] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Easy way would be to disconnect the monitor, no?\
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, does anyone know a good way to find out if a laptop will work well with Feisty? (more specific than google)
[03:47] <Invisionfree> I did. It didn;t work
[03:47] <PurpZeY> !hardware | d4rkmonkey
[03:47] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:47] <eboyjr> What is the equivalent of Alt+NUM in Ubuntu? In Windows, Alt+168 makes an upside-down question mark. Alt+97 = lowercase a
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> Tahnks
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> *thanks
[03:48] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Did you catch that? It didn't work
[03:48] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: It's gotta be somewhere in System, not sure where....
[03:48] <Nitrogen> why si everyones ip visible?
[03:49] <ChatUser> hi everyone!
[03:49] <dominicus> Question: cause we have nothing to hide
[03:49] <momo> is there a program like super copier for ubuntu
[03:49] <momo> ?
[03:49] <dominicus> nm that questino part
[03:49] <Nitrogen> right
[03:49] <PurpZeY> Super copier?
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, what does that do
[03:49] <Nitrogen> im off then
[03:49] <Nitrogen> lol
[03:49] <momo> it's a program for windows
[03:49] <dade> Beryl was working fine and now when I enable desktop effects all my windows wont show themes or move really.... what happened how can I fix this I want my movable wobbly windows back...
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, which does...
[03:49] <PurpZeY> momo: Yes, but what does it do?
[03:49] <momo> that accelerate copying files
[03:49] <dade> ?
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, how
[03:49] <sxjizaios> What sound card should I buy? I mostly listen to music, and want good music listening with Linux support and at a reasonable price.
[03:49] <PurpZeY> dade: #ubuntu-effects or #beryl
[03:49] <momo> i dunno how
[03:49] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I can't find it
[03:50] <momo> but copying speed increases to 30Mb/s
[03:50] <bruenig> momo, I don't see how that is possible. or if it were why it wasn't built into the kernel
[03:50] <ChatUser> hey, I installed ubuntu on my harddrive using one of my computers and dropped the harddrive into a different computer... I think I need to update all the drivers ethernet/video for sure... is there an easy way to do that?
[03:50] <bruenig> or filesystem
[03:50] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I honestly don't know, let me see if I can find out.
[03:51] <Invisionfree> Ok, thanks
[03:51] <Invisionfree> !external
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about external - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <bruenig> momo, copying stuff using ext3 is pretty quick as often times it can just mess with the inodes whatever that means
[03:51] <Invisionfree> Errr
[03:51] <ProN00b> how do i change the diskname (windows disk name) of a vfat partition ?
[03:51] <bruenig> ProN00b, like C:
[03:51] <bruenig> ?
[03:51] <ProN00b> bruenig, no, on windows you could assign free names to partitions
[03:51] <ProN00b> 11 letter long
[03:51] <momo> i want it because i've problems to copy files from a DVD
[03:52] <bruenig> ProN00b, oh, you can't do that on linux
[03:52] <momo> i burnt it a long ago
[03:52] <`eboyjr> What is the equivalent of Alt+NUM in Ubuntu? In Windows, Alt+168 makes an upside-down question mark. Alt+97 = lowercase a
[03:52] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Any idea where external monitor management would be found?
[03:52] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I am looking into it on the forums and in effects.
[03:52] <bruenig> `eboyjr, goot question, there is a character map but I am not sure there are alt characters
[03:52] <bruenig> Invisionfree, no
[03:52] <ProN00b> bruenig, but they stayed when i changed to linux, this one disk here still has that name on the desktop, but the other one lost it when i resized it
[03:52] <bruenig> `eboyjr, character map is in applications>accessories I believe
[03:52] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I am told there should be a fn+key combination
[03:53] <Invisionfree> Hmmz0r
[03:53] <dominicus> Do I need the smbclient to share files with WinXP or are Samba and Samba-common packages sufficient?
[03:53] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Thanks
[03:53] <Invisionfree> I totally forgot about it.
[03:53] <bruenig> Invisionfree, yeah FN + f8 on mine at least but it doesn't work here
[03:53] <Invisionfree> Mines FN+F5
[03:53] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I have a sony, my FN keys are absolutely functionless except for pause and break
[03:54] <gdb> dominicus: You do not need the client to share files.  smbclient is to allow your Linux system to access other smb servers.
[03:54] <mon^rch> i just discovered what the middle mouse button does if you're running beryl :P
[03:54] <mon^rch> neato
[03:54] <dominicus> gdb: thanks
[03:54] <bruenig> PurpZeY, my thing just doesn't see the FN
[03:54] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like I can't even assign FN to a special keyboard shortcut or something
[03:54] <bruenig> it comes up blank
[03:54] <chrisjs169> for some reason,  /dev/dsp is almost always busy - 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp' returns 'Device or resource busy'
[03:54] <Invisionfree> Ok..Now how do I change the resolution. It's all like, big...And the Screen Resolution thing in System only has one size..
[03:54] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I *think* I could do that, but I can't get it to control volume or brightness or anything like that
[03:55] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, I just needed to ask something, Does anyone know what System 76 laptops are like?
[03:55] <`eboyjr> bruenig: Capital A is U+0041, but no ALT or anything.
[03:55] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I haven't heard much.
[03:55] <ProN00b> anyone got any idea how to change the diskname of a vfat partition ? (on making a new one it works with mkfs.vfat -n name)
[03:55] <bruenig> `eboyjr, don't think so
[03:55] <Invisionfree> ProN00b: You can't I don't think..
[03:55] <ProN00b> Invisionfree, you can, you could on windows
[03:56] <Invisionfree> ProN00b: And we aren't windows.
[03:56] <puff> Evening.  I am attempting to flash dd-wrt onto a buffalo whr-g125 router.  To do this, I need to disable wireless and set my address to a static IP on the buffalo router's LAN.  "sudo ifdown eth1" gives me "ifdown:  eth1 not configured", but iwconfig shows me as currently on wireless via eth1.
[03:56] <chrisjs169> suggestions for the /dev/dsp problem?
[03:56] <bruenig> PurpZeY, I still use some of the FN keys for their purpose I just instead assign it as windows key + f# instead of FN + f#
[03:56] <d4rkmonkey> I was having some problems with my HP I just got and was thinking of returning it, to get a comp which is compatible with Feisty, but I don't know if I want another HP or if I want to get a System 76
[03:56] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like you can use the volume thing if you wanted
[03:56] <Invisionfree> How do I change the Screen Resolution...It's too big...
[03:56] <PurpZeY> bruenig: How? Also, the important one is the brightness and since that involves acpi I think it'd be tougher...but how do you set it up for volume?
[03:57] <ProN00b> Invisionfree, but "you" support vfat
[03:57] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I just don't know anything about them....why not get a dell with ubuntu preload?
[03:57] <d4rkmonkey> Because I heard those were only available in America
[03:57] <d4rkmonkey> I live in Canada

[03:57] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: That makes sense.
[03:58] <d4rkmonkey> ")
[03:58] <d4rkmonkey> *:)
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, aumix -v+# or aumix -v-#
[03:58] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I haven't heard anything bad or good about the system 76...Personally, I'd just look into getting a good laptop with supported hardware, but that's just my opinion.
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, the number is the percentage jump
[03:58] <PurpZeY> bruenig: And assign the key via system-admin?
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, then just shortcut those commands
[03:58] <dominicus> Are samba shares shared folders on the XP or the Ubuntu box?
[03:59] <d4rkmonkey> ok, I think I'm going to look into more HP then...
[03:59] <bruenig> PurpZeY, I am not sure how to do it on gnome, when I used gnome I used xbindkeys to do things like that, on xfce they have it built in where you can assign keys to commands
[03:59] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I get this: * Stopping GNOME Display Manager...                                 [ ok ]
[03:59] <Invisionfree>  * Starting GNOME Display Manager...                                 [fail]
[03:59] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: That definitely sounds like a xorg type error.
[03:59] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like on mine I have aumix -v+10 assigned to windows + f8

[04:00] <Invisionfree> I ran that command and it gave me that message, I'm checking the link now..
[04:00] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Any idea how I might take a stab at brightness that way? like..instead of aumix, brightness or something like that.
[04:00] <mboso> i'm exporting a file system over nfs as rw, and mounting it rw, but when I try to rite to that directory after mounting it says its read only. what am i missing?
[04:00] <`eboyjr> bruenig: haha well that's a bummer, since on Windows, I make this cool face : <@@>, but there's no quick way to do it on here.
[04:00] <bruenig> PurpZeY, that is an acpi thing I am sure, I have tried for a long time to figure it out but nothing
[04:00] <bruenig> `eboyjr, true loss indeed
[04:01] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I am not dissatisfied with the way I have it setup atm...I got this script, when I pop my power cable, monitor dims, when I pop it back monitor brightens. . .

[04:01] <dade> what is the effects rooms name, for probs with beryl?
[04:01] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Apparently there is a way to modprobe the sony acpi and then set it up so the buttons work, but it's just not worth the effort when it works how I want it to
[04:01] <bruenig> PurpZeY, yeah mine does too, luckily I have about 4 hour battery life so I rarely need to plug it in
[04:01] <PurpZeY> dade: #ubuntu-effects
[04:02] <dade> thx again
[04:02] <non|inear> can anyone suggest a free replacement for acronis true image?
[04:02] <bruenig> PurpZeY, it depends on the laptop really, there is like some asus laptop modules that work for it I believe
[04:02] <bruenig> but nothing for my hp
[04:02] <enviouz> i added a second hard disk and used gparted to partition it. however i cant put anything on it as it says only root has permission. any way to fix this?
[04:02] <chrisjs169> suggestions for the /dev/dsp problem?
[04:03] <PurpZeY> bruenig: This laptop gets about 3 hours or less...depending on what i am doing..but I don't have cpu scaling turned down or anything...I work in offices or classrooms, places with plugs.
[04:03] <nivekc1> anyone know of a web editing program similar to frontpage for ubuntu?
[04:03] <preaction> !html | nivekc1
[04:03] <ubotu> nivekc1: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[04:03] <non|inear> or, can anyone dcc me snapapi26_modules-0.7.x?  ;P
[04:04] <Kaitlyn2004> if I am running a command and want to output to a file, is there any way I can make it go to TIMESTAMP.ext, or MONTH-DAY.ext, or something?
[04:04] <enviouz> any ideas anyone?
[04:04] <SoulinEther> this is so sad... i installed vanilla kde. how do i change the resolution? what program is a gui frontend, or what command can i type into the terminal?
[04:04] <nivekc1> im looking for one that doesnt require any code just a point n click thing like frontpage or expression web
[04:04] <PurpZeY> enviouz: I think you have to mount it as root.
[04:04] <sn-> nivekc1 tried nvu ?
[04:05] <PurpZeY> or use sudo
[04:05] <bruenig> nivekc1, nvu but never used it
[04:05] <Flannel> nivekc1: right.  Check out those programs.
[04:05] <PurpZeY> something like that
[04:05] <preaction> nivekc1: ubotu gave you 4 of them
[04:05] <enviouz> ok ty
[04:05] <PurpZeY> Sounds like something bruenig *might* kno
[04:05] <preaction> nivekc1: i hear bluefish is nice
[04:05] <bruenig> what is that
[04:05] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: That didn't work :(
[04:05] <nivekc1> ive tried all of those they still require code they just have shotcut buttons
[04:06] <bruenig> nivekc1, nvu doesn't require code, I have tinkered with it before to edit a webpage before I printed it
[04:06] <`eboyjr> What is the Gr key? : http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Accented_Characters
[04:06] <nivekc1> oh ok
[04:06] <PurpZeY> bruenig: He just put in a new harddrive, and partitioned it, but he can't add files b/c it says root is required....enviouz
[04:06] <nivekc1> well i have blue fish and quanta plus
[04:06] <yurimxpxman> do any of you know of a good P2P channel/server for IRC?
[04:06] <nivekc1> ill try nvu thanks
[04:07] <Flannel> `eboyjr: Alt-GR is usually the right alt key
[04:07] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: You can try dpkg.
[04:07] <enviouz> what happen is i installed it then used gparted to partition it. then mounted it to /media/cdrive. but it wont let me do anything with it
[04:08] <bruenig> enviouz, how are you mounting it
[04:09] <nivekc1> where in the world do i get nvu its not in synaptic or add/remove
[04:09] <defcon> I installed ubuntu before I installed vista, I have ubuntu on /dev/sda1 and vista on /dev/sda2, I need to know how to add vista to the grub menu editing menu.lst and hd0,1 does not seem to work, any suggestions/tips/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
[04:09] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, no. and it is illegal to tell you.
[04:09] <enviouz> i hit mount in gparted after partitioning it
[04:09] <PurpZeY> defcon: Vista eats ubuntu, generally speaking
[04:09] <bruenig> nivekc1, close all that nonsense, sudo apt-get install nvu
[04:09] <defcon> PurpZeY, clarify?
[04:09] <defcon> workaround?
[04:09] <puff> How do I disable my wireless?
[04:10] <yurimxpxman> kbrooks__: lol.. it's only illegal to download copyrighted material
[04:10] <PurpZeY> defcon: Everyone I have seen has a problem with vista and ubuntu.
[04:10] <nivekc1> couldnt find package nvu
[04:10] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, well, you dont believe me eh, well it is illegal to link to a source of copyrighted material.
[04:10] <nivekc1> vista sucks
[04:11] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, ok ok not being serious.
[04:11] <`eboyjr> nivekc1: you serious?
[04:11] <bruenig> !info nvu
[04:11] <ubotu> Package nvu does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:11] <bruenig> oh no
[04:11] <bruenig> !find nvu
[04:11] <ubotu> Package/file nvu does not exist in feisty
[04:11] <yurimxpxman> kbrooks__: I didn't ask for a link to any copyrighted material. Just a place to share files. What I'm looking for in particular isn't even copyrighted :-P
[04:11] <bruenig> did nvu get a name change?.
[04:12] <Flannel> bruenig: nvu was taken out of Feisty because it hasn't been developed in a few years.    Kompozer is nvu + bugfixes.  Not sure if it's going to be in gutsy or not though.  I suppose we could look
[04:13] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I ran the command at the top, then CTLR - ALT - Backspace, then the resolution was there
[04:13] <enviouz> i used gparted to mount it though as im not sure of any other way to mount ext3. the mount point was already set after partitioning before i even tried to mount it
[04:13] <pschulz01> Invisionfree:The install should do this for you..
[04:14] <Invisionfree> pschulz01: The install fails to modify the Vista partition
[04:14] <mneptok> Flannel: Amaya is another nVu alternative you can recommend
[04:14] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: To partition drive, run the liveCD and start the install.
[04:14] <pschulz01> Invisionfree: Do you want to reformat the entire drive?
[04:14] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: It doesn;t do NTFS right. So I used GParted from System
[04:14] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: ohhhhhh.....vista.
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Yeah =\
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: See above...Vista does NOT play well with others .
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Including Ubuntu.
[04:15] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY:
[04:15] <SoulinEther> does vista play well with windows xp?
[04:15] <Invisionfree> I just deleted the old, made a new
[04:15] <OmegaCenti> great... now firefox is crashing... and I don't know where to look to see what happened
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Going to install
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: You got rid of vista totally?
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Yep
[04:15] <mon^rch> what's a good way to join 2 .avi's?
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Then you should be good to go, are you keeping any partitions?
[04:16] <Invisionfree> Nope
[04:16] <Invisionfree> Making one huge one for Ubuntu, thats all :O
[04:16] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Then just go, and let the liveCD set itself up as it wishes.
[04:16] <imbecile> any ops here? I'm making a video for youtube and i was wondering if it was okay to have this channel open in one of my desktops.. or do you think people would be adverse to being seen in a beryl video?
[04:16] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I am
[04:16] <PurpZeY> imbecile: I'd ask.
[04:16] <IceTox> Anyone in here familiar with screenlets?
[04:16] <thefallenarchang> does anyone have a url for the madwifi-ng download
[04:16] <mneptok> Invisionfree: one big partiton is prolly not the best way to go :)
[04:16] <nivekc1> vista doesnt do anything well
[04:16] <imbecile> PurpZeY,  hehe thats what i'm trying to do
[04:16] <nivekc1> xp is still far better
[04:17] <mneptok> nivekc1: it's *really* good at separating people from cash
[04:17] <OmegaCenti> If an application crashes, where should I look?
[04:17] <Invisionfree> mneptok: Why not?
[04:17] <PurpZeY> imbecile: !ops
[04:17] <imbecile> PurpZeY,  thanks :)
[04:17] <PurpZeY> bruenig: It's been nice chatting man, take it easy.
[04:17] <nivekc1> mneptok: haha good point
[04:17] <mneptok> Invisionfree: / = ~7.5GB  ||  swap = 2x RAM  ||  /home = remainder
[04:17] <bruenig> k
[04:17] <crxyem> ok, well, I've got a few different hard disk controllers, a promise sx4060, promise tx133, highpoint 100, and a highpoint 464, the sx4060 and the highpoint 464 are raid cards, but all I want is a nother disk controller so I can add 4-250gb drive and have access to tham any ideas ??
[04:18] <Invisionfree> Why?
[04:18] <mneptok> Invisionfree: if /home is on a separate partition you can wipe the OS but keep your data
[04:18] <ProN00b> if i install 64 bit ubuntu, how do i get certain apps in 32 bit ? (mplayer, firefox, for codecs and plugins)
[04:18] <thefallenarchang> can someone post the url for madwifi-ng
[04:18] <mon^rch> what's a good way to join 2 .avi's?
[04:18] <mneptok> mon^rch: cat
[04:18] <Hobbsee> imbecile: this is a public channel, so that's fine.  there are logs published too
[04:19] <Invisionfree> mneptok: Usually when I wipe OSes, its to get rid of data
[04:19] <mon^rch> mneptok: could you please give me an example syntax?
[04:19] <mneptok> Invisionfree: like your mp3 collection?
[04:19] <Invisionfree> What MP3 collection?
[04:19] <Invisionfree> I have two songs: White and Nerdy and Canadian Idiot
[04:19] <Invisionfree> Thats my colletion
[04:19] <mneptok> mon^rch: cat file1.avi file2.avi > newbigfileofmymovieYAY.avi
[04:20] <mon^rch> mneptok: tyvm
[04:20] <younghacker> cool
[04:20] <mneptok> Invisionfree: you're free to ignore me. but i wouldn't. ;)
[04:20] <imbecile> Hobbsee,  awesome thanks.... hehe i know the logs are published.. one time i was looking to fix something after a fresh install and i saw  the log where jrib was walking me through it.. i thought it was funny... and helpful!
[04:20] <OmegaCenti> If an application crashes, where should I look?
[04:20] <Hobbsee> imbecile: :)
[04:20] <Invisionfree> OMG
[04:21] <mneptok> OYG!
[04:21] <skyfalcon866> is gusty gibbon going to be LTS
[04:21] <Flannel> skyfalcon866: no.
[04:21] <Flannel> skyfalcon866: ether gutsy+1 or +2 will be
[04:21] <mneptok> skyfalcon866: no
[04:21] <sxjizaios> What sound card should I buy? I mostly listen to music, and want good music listening with Linux support and at a reasonable price.
[04:21] <mneptok> Flannel: that's not confirmed yet :)
[04:22] <Flannel> mneptok: It has to be.  Unless they plan on extending dappers support
[04:23] <mneptok> Flannel: Dapper will be supported through June 2009 on the desktop. which leaves Gutsy+3.

[04:23] <enviouz> anybody know how to change permissions on a whole partition? cant access one of mine after using goarted. only root has access
[04:24] <Invisionfree> Isn't it Gusty not Gutsy?
[04:24] <skyfalcon866> i think its gusty
[04:24] <Invisionfree> It is
[04:24] <gnomefreak> its gutsy
[04:24] <chem`> anyone know if the new santa rosa macbook pros' audio works in gutsy?
[04:24] <gnomefreak> and please bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu+1
[04:25] <chem`> or how to get it working in fiesty?
[04:25] <Invisionfree> It got changed..It used to be gusty =\
[04:26] <eboyjr14> What's the difference between Suspend, Hibernate and shutdown?
[04:28] <ShackJack> eboyjr14: shut down - closes O/S and shuts off power, hibernate takes snapshot of O/S (open programsn, etc...) and shuts down and reloads snapshot on next boot, suspend puts computer in low power mode (sometimes hibernate & suspend dicey)...
[04:28] <eboyjr14> ShackJack: Thanks
[04:31] <Fungus2> hello world!
[04:31] <Kaitlyn2004> I right click'ed a folder and shared it (windows - SMB) ... but on my windows box, going to \\server prompts me for a user/pass... how do I allow access?
[04:31] <crxyem> ok, well, I've got a few different hard disk controllers, a promise sx4060, promise tx133, highpoint 100, and a highpoint 464, the sx4060 and the highpoint 464 are raid cards, but all I want is a nother disk controller so I can add 4-250gb drive and have access to tham any ideas ??

[04:37] <libertario> I want to tell you..
[04:37] <libertario> good work
[04:37] <Fezzler> I always find way to recover, but what is the best way?
[04:37] <libertario> ubuntu is a great distribution, good work making debian easy for enduser
[04:37] <wilrecar77> can i replace gnome with xfce in the regular ubuntu system
[04:37] <libertario> very very good work, congratulations
[04:37] <corevette> how would i do sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-get upgrade on the same line in a terminal/
[04:37] <Fezzler> It leaves me at command line with option to hit Control D or enter root login password?
[04:37] <libertario> ;)
[04:37] <dominicus> Kaitlyn2004: I said the wrong thing to you: it's not smbclient, it's smbpasswd I had in mind

[04:39] <enviouz> anybody know how to change permissions on a whole partition? i used gparted to partition a new drive not i cant even access it

[04:39] <wilrecar77> my system is old and i need to free up more resources
[04:39] <Fezzler> It is bad to run fchk -y on a mounted drive, right/

[04:40] <Lanken> hey, I have an intel x3100 graphics processor (santa rosa integrated graphics) in a machine that's running ibuntu
[04:40] <Lanken> *ubuntu
[04:40] <Lanken> can I get drivers from packages.ubuntu.org?
[04:41] <Lanken> s/org/com/
[04:41] <ShackJack> wilrecar77: Won't break nothing but then do sudo aptitude -f install to make sure dependencies are all satisified (XFCE if also based on GTK as GNOME is...
[04:41] <wilrecar77> ok
[04:42] <ShackJack> Anyone have any opinions on making a /boot partition in addition to a /home partition? Recommended?
[04:42] <Ademan> Lanken: i don't know about x3100 but normally you don't need to download drivers for intel graphics its included already
[04:42] <Lanken> Ademan: ordinarily, yes, but the iso I installed from pre-dates my chipset by half a year
[04:42] <Lanken> (since it's an old dapper iso)
[04:43] <Lanken> and I have a dial-up connection, so downloading the new iso isn't an option.
[04:43] <ShackJack> Lanken: why not sudo upgrade manager -c -d :)
[04:43] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[04:43] <ShackJack> Lanken: do it b4 you go to bed ;)
[04:43] <Ademan> Lanken: ah, ouch, you could order some fiesty cds with shipit
[04:43] <Ademan> free and all
[04:44] <Lanken> ShackJack: I benchmarked my connection just to rule that out.  it will take 48 hours to get an iso.
[04:44] <Lanken> ShackJack: I'm leaving here in two weeks so it's not worth it.
[04:44] <Jamesinator> Lanken: Take a weekend trip? ;)
[04:45] <Lanken> Jamesinator: to come back and find out that the mirror crapped out on my two hours in? no thanks :P
[04:45] <enviouz> Jamesinator: that didnt work either. the second command says no such file or directory
[04:45] <Jamesinator> Lanken: SSH. Or VNC.

[04:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:46] <ceil420> i see it in themes ("gtkrc") and on Conky ("conkyrc")
[04:46] <ceil420> i think the 'c' is configuration, but i'm just curious :o
[04:46] <Invisionfree> release candidate?
[04:46] <Ademan> resource file
[04:47] <Ademan> Lanken: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/    (i'm sure you know about it already)  but it might be worth it for support of your chipset, but for now don't you at least have 2d support?
[04:47] <Lanken> it seems that 915resolution has not be upgraded to handle the new chipsets.
[04:47] <ceil420> just been wonderin' about it lately since i got into making themes :p
[04:47] <enviouz> Jamesinator:  ok nvm i miss typed it.
[04:47] <enviouz> ty finally i can use it
[04:47] <Lanken> Ademan: yeah, I have 2d at 1024x768
[04:47] <Jamesinator> enviouz: Congratulations. :D
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Lanken, Does it work with the -intel driver?
[04:48] <Lanken> Ademan: I'd like to have full resulution but I guess that's a different issue.
[04:48] <enviouz> is there a reason why gparted automatically sets root only permissions on new partitions?
[04:48] <Fezzler> What do I do when Ubuntu freezes?
[04:48] <Jamesinator> enviouz: Security reasons, I expect
[04:48] <Lanken> Fezzler: ctrl-shift-f2
[04:49] <Lanken> err ctrl-alt-f2
[04:49] <enviouz> ahh ic. that would make sense
[04:49] <Lanken> and fix things from the virtual terminal
[04:49] <Fezzler> Seems like I get hard drive errors when I restart
[04:49] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, 1: try ctrl+alt+F1 2: ctrl+alt+backspace 3: alt+sysrq+k
[04:50] <Fezzler> when I get dropped to root prompt, am I trying to restart Grub or Nautilus at that point?
[04:50] <levander> Where is the easiest place to install Flash 9 from?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, What do you mean?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> !flash | levander
[04:50] <ubotu> levander: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash

[04:52] <lordhellspont> anyone tried to install ubuntu 7.04 in virtualbox?

[04:52] <Fezzler> Hi Jordan.  Every once in a rare bluemoon, Ubuntu freezes.    The result is Buffer I/O and device hddev0 error
[04:53] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[04:53] <Wyzard> I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 in VMware Workstation 6 and having a problem with the vmmouse driver:  scroll-wheel events are delivered twice, so I can't scroll by a single click
[04:53] <Fezzler> Then I'm offered to press Control D or enter root password.
[04:53] <Wyzard> Anyone else have this problem and know how to resolve it?
[04:53] <Jamesinator> Wyzard: Vmware tools mouse functions on Ubuntu Feisty are VERY buggy. I think you just have to wait for a fix.
[04:53] <Fezzler> Not sure best way to proceed.  I ran fchk -y and then re-booted.  It works but I hear fchk is bad to run.
[04:54] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: At the moment I'm using a fresh install of Feisty in a newly-created VM, using the driver from xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse...  I haven't installed VMware Tools yet
[04:54] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: (though it happens with the Tools driver too, in a different VM)
[04:54] <Jamesinator> Wyzard: Sorry then, I was just relating my personal experience. I've yet to find a fix either. :\
[04:55] <Barr1> Hello, how do I edit my "sources.list" file?
[04:55] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: so I'm wondering if it's a configuration thing, or if Ubuntu's shipped vmmouse driver is buggy too
[04:55] <Pici> Barr1: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:55] <puff> Jamesinator, bruenig I just want my laptop to ignore my wireless connection and use my wired connection instead.
[04:55] <Jordan_U> Barr1, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[04:55] <Barr1> thx
[04:56] <puff> Jamesinator: "ifdown eth1" does not work, gives me "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured"
[04:56] <Jamesinator> puff: ifconfig eth1 down
[04:56] <Jamesinator> I think, I'm not sure of the syntax
[04:56] <crxyem> anyone here any help with pci disk controllers ?
[04:56] <bruenig> whoever was asking the wireless question I am not sure how to do it on ubuntu because it uses the network manager thing, if you could get networkmanager not to start at boot
[04:56] <krapper> no but jesus can
[04:56] <bruenig> what is it rc.update
[04:57] <bruenig> or some command like that
[04:57] <lordhellspont> anyone tried to install ubuntu 7.04 in virtualbox?

[05:05] <nalioth> Charles_Xavier: yes, we know

[05:05] <kkathman> they just keep changing servers
[05:05] <Jamesinator> Oh
[05:05] <Flannel> Jamesinator: they spammed back with CTCP versions
[05:05] <kkathman> its happening in several channels
[05:05] <kkathman> same peeps
[05:05] <imbecile> anyone have kiba-dock running on feisty? have the blackbar problem from repo? i need to know how to get it going
[05:05] <Charles_Xavier> good thing im using ubuntu, if i was on linux, that ctcp flood would of gave me that blue screen :)
[05:05] <IceTox> a gline would worked better wouldn't it?
[05:05] <Charles_Xavier> windows?*
[05:05] <kkathman> windows, suse others
[05:06] <rogue780> does anyone know the ubuntu package with the perl date::parse lib in it
[05:06] <rogue780> ?
[05:07] <bruenig> oh well since you added that question mark
[05:07] <bruenig> rogue780, just apt-cache search for perl stuff
[05:07] <bruenig> rogue780, if you knew what file that was contained in you could see which package contained that file
[05:07] <chrisjs169> is it safe to stay in here? lol
[05:08] <Jamesinator> Flannel: Does that necessarily mean they were part of the flood? Or was it just a necessary measure until the attacks stopped?
[05:08] <vidd_laptop> rogue780, you can also use synaptic ..it has a search feature where you can search the discriptions
[05:08] <imbecile> flooding a channel is lame
[05:08] <bruenig> synaptic who needs that
[05:08] <rogue780> bruenig, been doing that...no luck
[05:08] <rogue780> vidd_laptop, no luck
[05:09] <Charles_Xavier> how come ubuntu uses old kernel... the newer one is out, fedora is using it, along with slackware and gentoo, but how come ubuntu still uses the outdated kernel?
[05:09] <bruenig> rogue780, just install every perl thing that exists
[05:09] <bruenig> Charles_Xavier, that is how ubuntu does things
[05:09] <vidd_laptop> bruenig, if i know what type of app i want, but not the name, it helps
[05:09] <kkathman> Charles_Xavier:  each distro has a standardly supported kernel for that particular release and others may or may not be made available
[05:09] <levander> Jordan_U: have you got a site that will let me click and auto-install Flash 9?  The site I just went to doesn't do that.
[05:09] <kkathman> suse does the same thing
[05:09] <bruenig> vidd_laptop, apt-cache search searches descriptions
[05:10] <bruenig> levander, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:10] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[05:11] <Flannel> Jamesinator: They weren't part f the flood, the flood was a CTCP version request, that they replied too, and those replies caused them to kline
[05:11] <rogue780> too bad nothing searches included files
[05:11] <vidd_laptop> Charles_Xavier, with the frequent new releases, there really is no NEED to constantly upgrade the kernel...besides, if you HAVE to have the latest kernel, you can always get it
[05:11] <Jamesinator> Flannel: Oh, ok, that's what I thought. I just didn't see why they got klined if they weren't part of the attack.

[05:12] <vladuz976> hi, i was wondering if anybody has ubuntu 7.04 running on a vaio C series. i
[05:12] <Jordan_U> levander, http://albinoblacksheep.com/ ?
[05:12] <vladuz976> i am interested in buying a vaio series C and wanna make sure hardware is compatible
[05:12] <xenex> Why do I get this message, "Could not save the file /etc/sudoers." when I am trying to save the file as root?
[05:13] <bruenig> kkathman, don't lump distros together like that, there are many distros such as arch that is bleeding edge all the time, the behemoths may act the same fedora suse and ubuntu but the underlings differ greatly
[05:13] <xenex> Oh nevermind.
[05:13] <Jordan_U> vladuz976, Can you give some specs on the hardware? And are you buying this in store of online?
[05:13] <Pici> vladuz976: check if anyone with that model is listed on http://www.linux-laptop.net/ with an ubuntu install.
[05:13] <kkathman> bruenig:  true - I just said many distros did that, thx
[05:13] <bruenig> kkathman, 3
[05:13] <Flannel> xenex: are you using visudo?
[05:13] <xenex> Flannel, yeah, just saw it :p
[05:13] <vladuz976> Jordan_U: in the store. they have choice of celeron or core duo
[05:13] <kkathman> well there are 350 distros - I wouldnt think anyone would know how each of them handles that :)
[05:14] <Flannel> Jamesinator: I think they had misconfigured clients, that replied poorly (and automatically got klined)
[05:14] <Jordan_U> vladuz976, Bring in a LiveCD :)
[05:14] <orbisvicis> does libdvdcss let you read dvds from other regions ?
[05:14] <bruenig> orbisvicis, yes

[05:14] <vladuz976> Jordan_U: the store? you think they'll let me do that?

[05:21] <t3soro> vladuz976: its worth trying to bring a livecd in to test. whats the worst that could happen? they might kick you out and think you're crazy, but thats about it.
[05:21] <bruenig> they have been pro linux far longer than bandwagoning dell
[05:21] <levander> Jamesinator: "umount <dir its mounted on>"
[05:21] <Jamesinator> levander: To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll check.
[05:21] <bruenig> Jamesinator, I have seen it 3-4 times
[05:21] <orbisvicis> ok
[05:22] <Jamesinator> Bruenig: I'm sure you have, that doesn't mean they weren't modestly spaced so as not to be floodish
[05:22] <vladuz976> t3soro: i'll definitely try that. but dell has the advantage of being cheaper, but unfortunately the shipping takes forever and I don't know if they ship to Japan
[05:22] <Jamesinator> levander: No, it doesn't exist in my fstab
[05:23] <bruenig> Jamesinator, you might employ a strategy such that you use different channels, ##linux #archlinux #gentoo and others
[05:23] <bruenig> Jamesinator, those will tend to give you higher knowledged people anyways
[05:23] <MISTERTibbs> !
[05:23] <OmegaCenti> What happened?
[05:23] <MISTERTibbs> !commands
[05:23] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[05:23] <Jamesinator> Alright, thanks for the advice.
[05:23] <OmegaCenti> jrib: yo, what happened?
[05:24] <levander> Jamesinator: i dunno then, couldn't tell you, i guess sshfs has a different config file that specifies what to mount on boot?
[05:24] <nalioth> OmegaCenti: what happened with what?
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> look like we got version request spammed.
[05:24] <Jamesinator> levander: I think it uses FUSE, but I'm still in the dark as for removing the directory
[05:24] <nalioth> OmegaCenti: join #ubuntu-offtopic for more discussin, if you like
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> wondering what I can do to fix it so it doesn't happen in the future
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> will do
[05:24] <levander> Jamesinator: i don't even know what FUSE is
[05:24] <bruenig> !fuse
[05:24] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:24] <Jamesinator> !fuse | levander
[05:24] <ubotu> levander: please see above
[05:25] <OmegaCenti> Im there
[05:25] <OmegaCenti> nalioth: sorry, there
[05:25] <Jamesinator> I don't know for sure, but there are additional FUSE options below the SSHFS options in the manpage.

[05:28] <bobbob> i'm still debating if i should make another partition and put gutsy on or wait a month
[05:28] <compuniversal> some body know about the Tivo
[05:29] <FireHazard17> i say wait a month i did that with feisty
[05:29] <FunnyLookinHat> bobbob, if you're debating..  probably should just wait   : )
[05:29] <Mixx> bobbob what are you going to gain by going gutsy?
[05:29] <levander> bobbob: install xen, and run gutsy in a virtual machine
[05:29] <bobbob> well i'd be on another partition
[05:29] <bruenig> gutsy doesn't even appear to have much
[05:29] <MISTERTibbs> bobbob, i'd wait for the first 90 day shakeout.  I don't really need to be bleeding edge.
[05:29] <bobbob> nothing, i just like testing
[05:29] <levander> bobbob: that way, no rebooting, and easy to wipe on and off
[05:29] <FireHazard17> wait do it thats why linux is better
[05:29] <FireHazard17> becuase you can have bleeding edge with out waiting for release dates
[05:29] <Italo-B> iaew
[05:29] <insp> uhg, my flash plugin in firefox keeps being uninstalled if i restart firefox
[05:29] <bobbob> but right now they haven't made a ton of changes over from feisty yet
[05:29] <Jordan_U> bruenig, There are some nice things, they are all upstream though
[05:30] <bruenig> The specs don't look to great
[05:30] <orbisvicis> anyone know where I can find subtitle to pgm ?
[05:30] <bobbob> they're still deciding what to do with compiz since they just merged back w/ beryl

[05:37] <orbisvicis> ah well

[05:37] <specialmoose> so, how can he do it lol
[05:37] <FireHazard17> lol
[05:37] <compuniversal> i have ubuntu 7.04 feisty
[05:37] <specialmoose> does the ubuntu cd contain ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <FireHazard17> yup its not installed
[05:37] <nalioth> orbisvicis: what are you looking for?
[05:37] <bruenig> compuniversal, I believe you need to either burn it to a dvd or hack the tivo software
[05:37] <FireHazard17> prolly not
[05:37] <specialmoose> LOL
[05:37] <FireHazard17> but you can try
[05:37] <FireHazard17> ethernet5 possible?
[05:37] <specialmoose> nope
[05:37] <FireHazard17> that sucks
[05:37] <Barr1> I've been to those sites for webcams....the first anyways...followed the directions to a tee
[05:38] <compuniversal> bruenig hack the tivo sofware
[05:38] <peanutb> FireHazard, theres a page on the wiki about installing ndiswrapper offline
[05:38] <orbisvicis> nalioth, rar minimum 2.71 "needed for compressed vobsub subtitles"
[05:38] <specialmoose> yeah, he wants to try linux but refuses unless he can get that to work
[05:38] <theshadow> bruenig: could you be a little more specific about the session data?
[05:38] <FireHazard17> what about downlaoding the package on this comp?
[05:38] <nalioth> orbisvicis: visit rarlabs.com and use the one they provide
[05:38] <theshadow> like a file name or directory?
[05:38] <bruenig> compuniversal, I don't know how to do it, I believe it is quite hard because it uses digital signatures
[05:38] <orbisvicis> nalioth, thanks
[05:38] <bruenig> theshadow, look around in your home directory, that is where it saves it
[05:38] <Barr1> What does this mean?....."Jordan_U: !webcam | Barr1"
[05:38] <tromoly> hey I'm running an Xubuntu Live CD to install on a different computer, and when it loads into XFCE, it doesn't show the HDD. any ideas?

[05:39] <orbisvicis> nalioth, oh its not free
[05:39] <Barr1> This is where im downloading my webcam driver: http://zc0302.sourceforge.net/zc0302.php?page=download
[05:39] <bruenig> theshadow, not sure
[05:39] <nbbob> anyone have the error office 03 not installed for this user running wine on ubuntu 7.04
[05:39] <rixon> There was a ctcp flood?
[05:39] <levander> zzuh: "man crontab"
[05:39] <zzuh> thanks levander
[05:39] <Flannel> !cron | zzuh
[05:39] <ubotu> zzuh: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[05:39] <bruenig> nbbob, have you installed office?
[05:39] <Icehawk78> I had rtorrent running in an ssh window, which was then shut down. After starting a new session, I'm unable to access the running copy of rtorrent (I assume it's still running, because it won't load the .torrent file now), but I also can't find it listed when I ran "ps -el". Any suggestions?
[05:39] <compuniversal> bruenig i have VirtualBox but inside the virtualbox i can get internet
[05:39] <theshadow> Ok then I will repeat my question. how do I clear out the "saved session" data?
[05:39] <nalioth> orbisvicis: nor is the one in the repos, iirc
[05:40] <zzuh> thanks Flannel
[05:40] <bruenig> compuniversal, ok?
[05:40] <oYo> anyone know how to run su remotely using ssh ,thanks?
[05:40] <nbbob> i have although it does not show up on the installed progs in wine
[05:40] <orbisvicis> oh
[05:40] <bruenig> theshadow, well the idea is find the file and delete it
[05:40] <Jordan_U> oYo, Same way you do locally
[05:40] <Flannel> Icehawk78: check out GNU screen.  Doesn't fix your problem, but addresses the issue in the future
[05:40] <tromoly> my hdd isn't showing up on an Xubuntu Live CD, any ideas?
[05:40] <levander> oYo: what is the operating system on the box you are sshing into?
[05:40] <nbbob> but when i run word or excel etc it opens and immediatley comes up with the error not installed for this user
[05:41] <theshadow> bruenig: I know that but if I don't know what the name of the file is or what it may look like it doesn't help much :P
[05:41] <bruenig> theshadow, you didn't even look for it did you, you want everything handed to you, how about checking some of those configuration files, .config .cache .local
[05:41] <oYo> ssh myid@hostnmae su -c command ,this not work
[05:41] <bruenig> your guess
[05:41] <FireHazard17> specialmoose: is it possoble to download to a thumbdrive on this comp then bring to other comp?
[05:41] <specialmoose> k, well i apt-get ndiswrapper... where the hell did it download to
[05:41] <FireHazard17> dont i dont do that i get it off the web sit
[05:41] <FireHazard17> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=ndiswrapper&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[05:41] <Pici> oYo: use sudo not su
[05:41] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, sure but my concern is him and i have 0 linux experience meaning, if it asks to compile we both sol
[05:41] <levander> Icehawk78: rtorrent probably wrote some kind of pid file or something, anyway it must write something to the filesystem that it can check to see if it's still running
[05:42] <FireHazard17> you dont need to compile
[05:42] <FireHazard17> but you do need the windows drivers
[05:42] <nbbob> i see other people with the same problem but no answers
[05:42] <levander> Icehawk78: you'll have to read about rtorrent, or look around in your home directory (especially the dot files) to find where it writes it
[05:42] <eboyjr> When running Ubuntu from the live CD, what happens to the data that Firefox or whatever downloads or saves?
[05:42] <FireHazard17> nbbob: ehat prob?
[05:42] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, k, im going to try it on my machine first
[05:42] <oYo> i have many servers ,if using sudo ,i have to set on many servers one by one
[05:42] <nalioth> orbisvicis: use sudo on an Ubuntu system
[05:42] <theshadow> bruenig: no I am looking but nothing stands out as a session file so I asked if someone knew another name it might be by or if it wasn't in the home directory.
[05:42] <Jordan_U> eboyjr, It just gets stored in RAM
[05:42] <levander> eboyjr: it is lost on reboot, unless you mount a hard drive partition and write it there
[05:42] <nbbob> FireHazard17, but when i run word or excel etc it opens and immediatley comes up with the error not installed for this user
[05:42] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, question is i just get apt-get and installed ndiswrapper... how do i run it haha
[05:43] <Flannel> oYo: what?
[05:43] <Icehawk78> levander: Thanks, I'll see if I can find it. I'm basically looking for a lock file of sorts?
[05:43] <bruenig> theshadow, it is in the home directory, how else could it save it
[05:43] <ocha> does anyone know a good tutorial for s-video dual monitor?  (using a tv as an another monitor??)
[05:43] <bruenig> theshadow, .config is probably what you are looking for, how do you have sessions anyways, are you using xfce or kde/.
[05:43] <bruenig> ?
[05:43] <levander> specialmoose: you have to read about ndiswrapper, look in maybe /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper for documentation
[05:43] <FireHazard17> i think just type 'ndiswrapper' into console
[05:43] <levander> Icehawk78: yeah, lock file is the general idea
[05:43] <FireHazard17> i think it has a gui i hope
[05:43] <CVD> recomend the use of Automatix and the other that i dont remember the name?
[05:43] <Flannel> !automatix | CVD
[05:43] <ubotu> CVD: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:44] <levander> Icehawk78: that's a generic answer though, I don't know specifically about rtorrent, that's what i'd do though, look for a lock file...
[05:44] <CVD> and whas the a\name of the other
[05:44] <CVD> ?
[05:44] <FireHazard17> i too reccomend automatix
[05:44] <Flannel> FireHazard17: Please dont
[05:44] <theshadow> bruenig: no gnome I was setting it up through the sessions manager to auto start an application and I clicked "save session" not knowing what it did. then when I did figure it out I was trying to figure out how to remove the saved session
[05:44] <FireHazard17> recommend*
[05:44] <oYo> Flannel: ssh myid@hostnmae su -c command ,this not work, it returns : standard in must be tty
[05:44] <bruenig> theshadow, didn't realize gnome had save session
[05:45] <ocha> i need tutorials on s-video hookups with nvidia cards (hooking up to a tv)?  plz help me
[05:45] <CVD> EasyUbuntu?
[05:45] <theshadow> bruenig: learn something new every day
[05:45] <Jordan_U> ocha, Try running: gksudo nvidia-settings
[05:45] <dr_willis> ocha,  you just going to have the 1 video (tv) on the card>
[05:45] <levander> oYo: log in to the remote machine and make sure su works just from the command line
[05:45] <nbbob> anyone else use office 03 in ubuntu 7.04 under wine?
[05:45] <bruenig> theshadow, well just roam around in ~.* until you find it
[05:45] <bruenig> theshadow, well just roam around in ~/.* until you find it
[05:45] <dr_willis> ocha,  if wanting to use tv and monitor you want to enable the twinview options

[05:46] <specialmoose> lol
[05:46] <CVD> sory
[05:46] <specialmoose> i thought i installed ndiswrapper, says its not found
[05:46] <Flannel> CVD: What are you trying to install?
[05:46] <FireHazard17> lol
[05:46] <dr_willis> I dont see much need for automatix or easyubuntu  these days.,
[05:46] <levander> CVD is a *bad* boy
[05:46] <CVD> automatix or easy? iwanna know
[05:46] <Jordan_U> CVD, Easyubuntu is better... But both aren't really necessary anyways
[05:46] <dr_willis> CVD,  Neither. :)
[05:47] <Flannel> CVD: neither.  Install whatever you want normally.  It's not difficult at all.
[05:47] <logreeval> hi, my wireless network card works good, i am using it now, but on startup up it doesnt seem to work, does it take time to startup or something?

[05:47] <Jordan_U> Pici, I know :)
[05:47] <eboyjr> What is the batch file of Ubuntu?
[05:47] <Pici> eboyjr: bash scripts.
[05:47] <CVD> how to activate a script?
[05:47] <dr_willis> eboyjr,  Huh?
[05:48] <eboyjr> dr_willis: it was bash scripts
[05:48] <Jordan_U> CVD, chmod +x
[05:48] <Pici> CVD: activate? make it executable by chmod +x scriptname.  execute by ./scriptname
[05:49] <ponicg> Is there any way to read .docx or .xlsx files in OpenOffice on Edgy/Feisty?
[05:49] <FireHazard17> if not for automatix i would have switched from windows to linux
[05:49] <CVD> i put a scprit "open in terminal" in /home/.gnome2-scrpits
[05:49] <FireHazard17> no i dont need it but i did then
[05:49] <FireHazard17> now*
[05:49] <oYo> i need to run the command lastlog, only root can do this ,but i don't want to using sudo ,nor login as root, so i must use this command ssh myid@hostnmae su -c command ,but i doesn't work,so what can i do now
[05:50] <FireHazard17> and have neve had issue with it
[05:50] <dr_willis> oYo,  why dont you want to sudo?
[05:50] <IceTox> anyone in here that has any knowledge on screenlets?
[05:50] <logreeval> i want to increase my screen resolution, but nothing seems to work
[05:50] <Jordan_U> FireHazard17, But often when people try to upgrade and it get's messed up because of what Automatix did, they switch back to Windows because "Ubuntu is unstable"
[05:51] <erat123> oYo: you would need to give yourself permissions to lastlog and anything else it uses.
[05:51] <oYo> i have too many servers ,if using  sudo ,i have to set them all one by one
[05:51] <levander> oYo: I'd check #bash for your question.
[05:51] <oYo> thx a lot
[05:52] <bruenig> not really a #bash question
[05:52] <levander> they know all the common command line utilities in there though
[05:52] <levander> they talk about them all the time
[05:52] <CVD> but i dont see the "open in terminal" in the ricght-click menu
[05:52] <CVD> :-(
[05:53] <bruenig> that question is not a bash question though, it is a question about applications
[05:53] <Flannel> CVD: install nautilus-open-terminal
[05:53] <macogw> can i modify unusual_devs from userspace (as in, without a kernel recompile)?  i'm told that in 2.6.21, you can do it, but the person doesn't know if it's possible in 2.6.20
[05:53] <levander> bruenig: they talk about su and stuff liek that all the time, whether you think they should or not
[05:54] <Vaske_Car> is it possible to import Outlook Express emails with Live CD?
[05:54] <MicrosoftSpy> su fu
[05:54] <levander> Vaske_Car: open the evolution and see if there are any menu options that let you do that
[05:55] <Evilbadwrong> Ok...so is it even possible to get an ATI Radeon X1300 Pro video card to work properly with Ubuntu? Because I've tried every method I could find on the forums....and I keep getting the black screen of death....
[05:55] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, It should be yes.
[05:55] <ponicg> First - it should be supported right off the bat with MESA drivers...
[05:55] <MicrosoftSpy> Most hardware can be tweaked to run on Ubuntu
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, You tried the alternate install CD?
[05:55] <ponicg> however, you can install the binary drivers from AMD/ATI and it'll work fine.
[05:55] <ponicg> i'm running an x1600/firegl v5200
[05:56] <Evilbadwrong> Ubuntu is installed and everything is fine....it's just that my video driver isn't working right....it's like it's using the default 'generic' driver or something....
[05:57] <levander> Evilbadwrong: maybe you just have to turn on hardware acceleration?
[05:57] <Evilbadwrong> How does one do that, levander?
[05:58] <levander> System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[05:58] <nbbob> thanks anyway guys
[05:58] <Evilbadwrong> levander: I did that and then rebooted to the black screen of death.
[05:59] <levander> Evilbadwrong: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[05:59] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, glxinfo and /msg me the output
[05:59] <n2diy> Black screen of death!? I love it.
[05:59] <levander> That will tell you whether or not your running hardware acceleration.

[06:08] <compengi> UbuntuServerUser, are you using samba for windows and linux share?
[06:09] <ArtiFACT> watch watch..
[06:09] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  you did install the samba package? you did give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAMES' you did ENABLE the home shares by editing the samba config?

[06:09] <Evilbadwrong> According to the forums...no one has been able to get this ATI card to work yet...
[06:09] <UbuntuServerUser> compengi dr_willis, yes, yes and yes yes
[06:10] <Icehawk78> compengi: I'm connected to my server through ssh, but I want to see if I have any old sessions of me also logged in, locking a folder, and if possible, log them off in order to free it.
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> well.. alright then..
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> no offtopic stuff.
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> grrr. :)
[06:10] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  for the share names give the users name for the last bit. not 'homes' also.
[06:10] <UbuntuServerUser> compengi dr_willis, I wote in my thing I can access it, so I set everything up correctly
[06:10] <macogw> thefallenarchang: and tell me what it says.  the chipsets are probably similar enough that they share a driver and so it doesnt bother being specific
[06:10] <thefallenarchang> says smod not found

[06:10] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:10] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis I'm sorry? What do you mean?
[06:11] <macogw> thefallenarchang: atheros (all of them) should use madwifi, so do what MISTERTibbs just had ubotu say :p
[06:11] <arang> hi
[06:11] <ksunter> i installed ubuntu on a thinkpad x60s, but the sound does not work at all. how can i fix this?
[06:11] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  instead of //whatever/home  use //whatever/bubba (or whatever the username is) or are younot using the 'home dir' shares?
[06:11] <ponicg> ksunter, try thinkwiki.org
[06:11] <arang> anyone willing to give me a hand before i put a bullet in my skull and become a MS drone?
[06:11] <thefallenarchang> sorry typo forgot the l for lsmod but it didn't say anything
[06:11] <ponicg> what's wrong arang
[06:11] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis no sir....http://pastebin.com/939368
[06:12] <Evilbadwrong> Can I paste my glxinfo here, so I can get some help?
[06:12] <arang> ok i have a problem with ekiga 2.0.3 in ubuntu feisty 7.04

[06:12] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,   ive notied that the things gets a bit confused when you try to access the 'home' share the first time..  once ya use the user name, it reizes you want a users home dir share instead.
[06:12] <orbisvicis> can transcode preserve dvd menus?
[06:12] <compengi> Icehawk78, type "who" in the terminal to check for the users connected with there ips. for the sessions i'm trying to remember where it's logged
[06:13] <specialmoose> k i just did sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common and its saying not found when i plug in ndiswrapper... anyway to find out if ndiswrapper-1.47 is available of apt-get?
[06:13] <CVD> maybe i have to disable the ipv6 in opera?
[06:13] <arang> ekiga installs and configures well but when i receive a call or during a conversation for some reason it starts to stutters it seems at least appears to be a known bug
[06:13] <ksunter> ponicg: i looked at thinkwiki, but there were no articles about ubuntu 6.06lts, and other related threads confused me
[06:13] <Jordan_U> ksunter, What is the output of: asoundconf list
[06:13] <Evilbadwrong> Ok, here's my paste: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:13] <thefallenarchang> macogw i retyped the command with the l in lsmod and it just went back to the prompt when i hit enter
[06:13] <arang> there's ekiga 2.0.9 to download from ekiga.net and .deb installers for ubuntu but when i try to install them they fail and i get a problem with the apt-get cache
[06:14] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, well ultimately I want each user to have his or her own folder (in the mount /srv/user1 /srv/user2) and access to a public share (/srv/public) and so far /srv/public is kind of working, what do you suggest?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ksunter, Why are you using 6.06 ?
[06:14] <ksunter> jordan_U: the out put is: Names of available sound cards: Intel
[06:14] <macogw> thefallenarchang: that means the madwifi driver isnt loaded.  that's the driver atheros generally uses
[06:14] <Evilbadwrong> Does that make sense to anyone?
[06:14] <Knux> nice.. my ubuntu just froze :\
[06:14] <Flannel> !sound | ksunter
[06:14] <ubotu> ksunter: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:14] <ponicg> X60s?
[06:15] <macogw> thefallenarchang: just in case, do you by any chance know the actual MODEL of your wireless card?
[06:15] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, you're using SGI...
[06:15] <macogw> thefallenarchang: atheros are about 50/50 on "works great" and "works ok" with a few "this is craptastic" thrown in
[06:15] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: Sorry, I don't know what that means....
[06:15] <thefallenarchang> all lspci says is 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[06:16] <Icehawk78> compengi: that's odd. Apparently I'm still the only one. So in that case, I suppose I'll jsut have to see if there's a second way to unlock a folder that has been locked from reading or writing
[06:16] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  there are 2 Samba Books included in the 'samba-doc' package.. If you want to get your samba skills up - they are WELL WELL worth reading.

[06:17] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, great will follow up on those, where are they? And is it possible to help me fix this little problem? http://pastebin.com/939368 IDK i followed the guide perfectly. .... :(
[06:18] <dr_willis> ubuntu-rocks,  they get installed to the /usr/share/doc dir I think. html format.
[06:18] <compengi> Icehawk78, this could help gksudo gedit /var/log/auth.log
[06:18] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: What does SGI mean, and what do I need to do to get this card working???
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, I'm researching it. sorry.
[06:19] <mroc> maeth:  hi, i have the same thing.  i read a post in the forums about how to fix it, but haven't tried it yet.   link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2903831
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong,  I'm not 100% sure.
[06:19] <din> Evilbadwrong: what kind of card?
[06:19] <maeth> mroc,  thnx :D
[06:19] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: Sorry....I'm just frustrated. It's an ATI X1300 Pro.
[06:19] <mroc> maeth:  welcome. good luck.
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, I know. I got that frustrated at first too. It's ok:) just wanted to let ya know
[06:19] <neonlinux> hey all.. what command can i use to check the speed of my network card?
[06:20] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  i just sent a update to that pastebin. showing my Public samba share.
[06:20] <Jordan_U> neonlinux, Change the speed?
[06:20] <din> Evilbadwrong: what's wrong with it so far?
[06:20] <neonlinux> Jordan_U: atm i just want to know the speed
[06:20] <din> sorry, i just wanna know what you've done so far
[06:20] <ponicg> din, He's got his glxinfo posted
[06:20] <din> where?
[06:20] <ponicg> din, And it's showing SGI/ATI... jussec
[06:20] <neonlinux> its a realtek 8169
[06:21] <Evilbadwrong> The colors are all washed out looking....like it's using some generic driver. Here's my pasted info: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:21] <ponicg> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:21] <ocha> i need help, on my linux box, i was editting my xorg.conf (whatever it's called) for s video out and i messed it up and now the x server won't start up correctly, how do i edit the file through terminal or in shell mode?
[06:21] <alecwh> Is there a way I can set Compiz-Fusion to start on Ubuntu bootup?
[06:22] <neonlinux> ocha: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:22] <alecwh> Sorry, let me make that more detailed.
[06:22] <din> Evilbadwrong: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf too?
[06:22] <Evilbadwrong> I'm using an older ubuntu boot right now...I'm dual booted with Vista....you know how it gives you several different ubuntus to choose from when booting? lol...I sound like such a newbie...
[06:22] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, no more than the rest of us.
[06:22] <alecwh> Is there a way I can make Compiz Fusion boot on startup, except with indirect-rendering?
[06:22] <din> those are different kernel versions
[06:22] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis I'm new to patebin, how do I view the differences?
[06:23] <din> revisions*
[06:23] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  heck - the site keeps timing out on me when i update it...  May want to try some different pastebin place in the futyre. :()
[06:23] <Evilbadwrong> din: no such file or directory
[06:23] <neonlinux> so anyone with ideas on how to check the connection speed.. its meant to be a gigabit card.. but its transfer speed is real slow
[06:23] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis ok hold on
[06:23] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser, http://pastebin.com/939368
[06:23] <dr_willis> there we go
[06:23] <din> no /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??
[06:23] <ponicg> no /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[06:23] <ponicg> what?
[06:23] <macogw> thefallenarchang: use ndiswrapper.  your card doesnt have madwifi support yet
[06:23] <Evilbadwrong> That's what it says....
[06:24] <din> how old is your installation?
[06:24] <ponicg> ls /etc/X11 and see if its got any .confs?
[06:24] <din> it would have to be around 4 or 5 years
[06:24] <ocha> anyone got the tutorial for newbies on hooking up your s video to tv???
[06:24] <ponicg> it's 6.06 he said, din
[06:24] <din> it has a xorg.conf then
[06:24] <Icehawk78> compengi: that didn't fix my current problem, but did alert me to the fact that I have a new one - it would appear that someone is trying to brute force my server through ssh. Is there a simple way to just block any attempt from an IP address that fails authentication like 10 times in a row or 5 times in a minute?
[06:24] <Evilbadwrong> It's been installed for exactly two days....and this is 7.04
[06:24] <ponicg> oh whoops
[06:24] <dr_willis> ocha,  JUSt a tv? or a monitor and TV?
[06:24] <ponicg> someone else had 6.06 :-p
[06:24] <din> ponicg: yeah, so many questions they sometimes run together :)
[06:24] <gdb> Evilbadwrong: You don't have an xorg.conf?  Did you install using the Server CD?
[06:25] <ocha> dr_willis, a montor and a tv
[06:25] <ponicg> din,  yeah:(
[06:25] <din> Evilbadwrong: if you don't have xorg, then you wouldn't have a display session.
[06:25] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, Capital "X" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:25] <dr_willis> ocha,  you basicially want to enable 'twinview' then.
[06:25] <ponicg> din, Any ideas where gnome stores its .conf info? Every time I boot X tells me that my X config differs from my Gnome Config and asks me what I want to do - use X conig or Gnome Config
[06:26] <compengi> Icehawk78, yeah it's possible to block any ip that would try to login and fails after several times that you would specify
[06:26] <Evilbadwrong> din: ok...had to put a capitol 'x'....and now it says permission denied...lol
[06:26] <ponicg> din, And I want to use my X config - it has the windows key setup to my superkey
[06:26] <ocha> dr_willis, i didn't do that, i edit my xorg.conf :(
[06:26] <dr_willis> ocha,  you proberly should backup your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then run 'sudo nvidia-settings' make the changes.. and restart the X server to see if they work.
[06:26] <din> Evilbadwrong: sudo
[06:26] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, sudo
[06:26] <din> ponicg: hrm.
[06:26] <Evilbadwrong> sudo what? :P
[06:27] <Evilbadwrong> I'm a newbie, remember? :D
[06:27] <din> ponicg: can you give me the exact text from the dialog?
[06:27] <ocha> how do i save the changes i made to xorg.conf in the shell??
[06:27] <dr_willis> ocha,  or use the  $ nvidia-xconfig  -twinview command.
[06:27] <Flannel> ocha: which editor?
[06:27] <dr_willis> ocha,  depends on how you made them
[06:27] <Icehawk78> I'm basically getting these lines over and over:

[06:28] <din> eh oh well
[06:28] <ocha> Flannel: im using the shell, and i had to take out some stuff, i lost the x server, and im trying to fix it
[06:28] <Flannel> Icehawk78: that's some guy (stomac) trying to login.  you might check out something like DenyHosts, that'll block people after N bad attempts
[06:28] <bobgill1> What would be the cmd to compose an email ?
[06:28] <ocha> dr_willis: i used the shell to fix the file
[06:28] <din> Flannel: try startx and see what error you get
[06:28] <din> err
[06:28] <Flannel> ocha: right, but the shell isn't an editor, but there are editors that rn in the shell, what program are you usnig?
[06:28] <din> orcha
[06:28] <din> ocha: **
[06:28] <din> geez i can't type
[06:28] <n2diy> How do I configure Nautilus to _not_  abbreviate my file sizes?
[06:29] <dr_willis> ocha,   and you dident make a backup of your original eh?
[06:29] <ocha> Flannel: sorry didn't know that, i use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf/"
[06:29] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Your persistence amazes me :)
[06:29] <din> ctrl+o to write the file, ctrl+x to exit
[06:29] <din> vi or vim is much better imo
[06:29] <macogw> ocha: then that would mean you're using nano
[06:29] <Flannel> ocha, what din said.
[06:30] <macogw> ocha: pico and vim are other in-terminal text editors
[06:30] <n2diy> Jordan_U: there is an answer to this! :)
[06:30] <maeth> mroc, dude, it worked perfectly, just copy everything and set it on the opacy settings
[06:30] <hd1> hi, my gxine can play music but amarok doesn't make any sound, I'm on xubuntu
[06:30] <Flannel> din: nano is perfectly fine for editing config files
[06:30] <compengi> Icehawk78, specify in "iptables" or use fail2ban
[06:30] <Jordan_U> n2diy, You chacked gconf
[06:30] <Jordan_U> ?
[06:30] <Flannel> macogw: no, pico is a symlink to nano, since pico isn't Free
[06:30] <Jordan_U> *checked :)
[06:30] <din> Flannel: i know, but i'm very partial to vi
[06:30] <ocha> dr_willis: oh i did ^^ but i think i might know how to fix the errors, before trying to switch back to the orginal files
[06:30] <din> :)
[06:30] <mroc> maeth:  cool - thanks for the info.  i'll have to try it later.
[06:30] <din> i've been using it for 12 years now :)
[06:30] <macogw> Flannel: really? didnt know that...then again, never used them
[06:30] <ponicg> din, yes
[06:30] <n2diy> Jordan_U: Nope where is that /home ?
[06:30] <Flannel> macogw: pico/pine are nonfree, nano/mutt are their Free equivalents
[06:31] <dr_willis> ocha,  all ive had to do in the past from the original files was use that '$ nvidia-xconfig  -twinview ' command.
[06:31] <din> ponicg: what's the dialog say when you login?
[06:31] <Jordan_U> n2diy, gconf-editor
[06:31] <Veinor> Why is it that some apps (such as putty) have such a weird, annoying font? and is there any way of changing it?
[06:31] <macogw> Flannel: ah i see.  this is me in "well..it exists..." mode :)
[06:31] <orbisvicis> !find lxdvdrip
[06:31] <ocha> Flannel: how do i save it? and then if i get more errors, ill let you guys know, im already in the hole, why not get a little farer in
[06:31] <dr_willis> putty? heh.
[06:31] <ubotu> Package/file lxdvdrip does not exist in feisty
[06:31] <macogw> ocha: ctrl +o
[06:31] <dr_willis> I recall seeing putty in the repos.. not sue why one would use it over ssh in a terminal.
[06:31] <UbuntuServerUser> I'm having trouble with samba...I set everything up correctly. when I enter in my ip address and connect to the box, I can connect, but when  I try to click the share and it gives me generic windows error " Public is not accessible" wtf? == ALSO i can't see the box under network throught a windows GUI??? HERE is my http://pastebin.ca/596720
[06:31] <n2diy> Jordan_U: Ok, where, /home?
[06:31] <ponicg> din,  That my gnome key configuration differs from my X key configuration (explains how) and if i want to use X or Gnome settings
[06:32] <ponicg> i couldnt' copy it though
[06:32] <macogw> ocha: see the text at the bottom?  "write" means "save" and ^ means "ctrl key"
[06:32] <Flannel> ocha: save with ctrl-o (^O is on the bottom in the bars across, ^ is ctrl).  quit with ^X
[06:32] <Veinor> dr_willis: just an example.
[06:32] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  its possibl theres some windows firewall going on.
[06:32] <specialmoose> is there a soundblaster audigy ubuntu help forum? i want to get my 4.1 speakers working :P
[06:32] <Flannel> Veinor: putty's font would depend on what you picked for it, it's in the configs I believe.  Btu that'd be local on your windows box, linux has nothing to do with that
[06:32] <Jordan_U> n2diy, In a terminal or run dialog run: gconf-editor
[06:32] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  windows can be a pain at times.    sadly. Those using samba books (in samba-doc) give trouble shooting tips
[06:32] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis good point, but I have disabled all that crap, I'm running DD-WRT on my linux box
[06:32] <ocha> macogw: thanks man let me try it
[06:33] <dr_willis> no idea what DD-WRT is
[06:33] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, btw wher can I find those?
[06:33] <ocha> Flannel: let me try it
[06:33] <ponicg> din, got it this time
[06:33] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  they are in the 'samba-doc' package in the repos
[06:33] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_Willis http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
[06:33] <dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[06:33] <ubotu> samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional.   It's entirely local
[06:34] <nirmal> how can i install compiz in Fiesty
[06:35] <dragonmc> hey guys, is there a way to return what a cd's label (name) is in the console?
[06:35] <zcat[1] > anyone here ever set up a (headless) server for tremulous ?
[06:35] <ponicg> Veinor, what does the font look like?
[06:35] <ocha> whats the comand line in the shell to restart
[06:35] <zcat[1] > I know I can just run the game and click 'create server' but that's no good for a 1U rack box..
[06:35] <bobgill1> ocha: sudo shutdown -r (i think)
[06:35] <Fedman> hey guys can anyone reccomend me a good app dor sorting mp3s
[06:36] <Phydoux> ocha, I believe it's reboot
[06:36] <Fedman> for*
[06:36] <UbuntuServerUser> !amrok | Fedman
[06:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amrok - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: sorting how?  a player/library or a tag-er?
[06:36] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  locate returns tons of stuff on gconf-editor
[06:36] <Fedman> macgow: tagger :)
[06:36] <hd1> /server irc.freenode.net
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: for a music library, i'm a fan of banshee.  a lot of people like amarok, and ubuntu comes with rhythmbox which works well too
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: audio tag tool then
[06:36] <Jordan_U> n2diy, It is an application, run it
[06:37] <Veinor> flannel: hmm... maybe a screenshot would help clear things up. see http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png
[06:37] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Ah, ok, danger!
[06:37] <Fedman> macoqw: I'm using amarok but It's abit hard to sort mp3s with it
[06:37] <ocha> bobgill1: thats not working
[06:37] <cactaur> Fedman: EasyTag is a pretty good tagger that I use. Can be installed via synaptic.
[06:38] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Danger?
[06:38] <Knux> Q: how do I enable Identd (for irc) under ubuntu?
[06:38] <hd1> I can play music with gxine but not amarok, it doesn't make any sound, any idea?
[06:38] <bobgill1> ocha: try "reboot"
[06:38] <specialmoose> rythmbox player have an equaliser?
[06:38] <ocha> how do i restart in shel "sudo shutdown -r"
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: sudo rebot
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: sudo reboot
[06:38] <Lo_Pan> reboot
[06:38] <alecwh> Is there any way I can set Compiz Fusion to bootup as indirect rendering?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> ocha, sudo shutdown -r now
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: spell it correctly :)
[06:38] <Flying-Penguin> Ok... here is the poblem.. firefox won't load anywebsites.. it will load http servers on m local net though.
[06:38] <dragonmc> anyone know how i can return an inserted cd's label in the console?
[06:38] <K`zan> Anyone using virtualbox and have problems with it reading the cd to install a guest os?
[06:38] <Fedman> cactaur: Thx looks pretty promising I'll give it a try :)
[06:38] <Flying-Penguin> and it doesn't say cant connect.. just sits there at conecting
[06:38] <ocha> macogw: thanks it works
[06:38] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Yes, running config stuff is always dicey! I don't know if my OS will be lost in the transporter, or not?
[06:39] <ocha> bobgill1: thanks it work
[06:39] <macogw> Flying-Penguin: proxy?
[06:39] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, Can you ping the outside world?
[06:40] <Flying-Penguin> No I am not on a proxy
[06:40] <Jordan_U> n2diy, ? there is nothing dicey about gconf-editor
[06:40] <Veinor> for some reason, some of my apps show up in a different font: the one in http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png . Is there any way to change that?
[06:40] <ocha> how do i use back up of xorg.conf
[06:40] <Flying-Penguin> yes, I can ping google.com and i get abought 80ms when I ping it using ubuntus network tools
[06:40] <Jordan_U> ocha, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup
[06:40] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  OK, I got into it, and I'm into the defaults, wish me luck! :)
[06:40] <macogw> Jordan_U: except that gconf is really confusing (ive been told it was like regedit, but i never used regedit until yesterday, and now i agree)
[06:40] <alecwh> I would like to set Compiz-Fusion to bootup (on system startup) with "indirect rendering". Is this possible?
[06:40] <specialmoose> bye bye rhythmbox, hello Amarok!
[06:41] <waudette> I've loaded Umbutu 7.x to my system in 386 mode and I noticed that it recognises fewer devices than it found in the 64bit OS.  How do I find linux drivers for my ASUS M2V motherboard with ATI 1950GT 512MB Video Card?
[06:41] <macogw> alecwh: if you know what option to pass it on the command line, specify the whole thing in your gnome session
[06:41] <Maxdamantus> Umbutu. :d
[06:41] <alecwh> macogw, I've tried that, it doesn't do it.
[06:41] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: so yah.. I can ping www.google.com
[06:42] <K`zan> Thanks anyway folks, guess virtualbox is not going to work for me :-(.
[06:42] <alecwh> "compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:42] <alecwh> that's what I have
[06:42] <Veinor> specialmoose: piece of advice: as far as I know, there's no way to change what program the 'launch default music player' shortcut will boot, so go to /usr/bin and 'sudo mv rhythmbox rhythmboxx; sudo ln amarok rhythmbox'

[06:42] <macogw> alecwh: did you just put compiz-fusion (or whatever you type to launch it) or include an option that makes it use indirect rendering?
[06:42] <alecwh> Yes, macogw. I have this in my session preferences: "compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:42] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: infact.. I can even connect to irc.freenode.net on irssi.. 0o as I am doing right now

[06:43] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, :)
[06:43] <macogw> alecwh: ... you have to --replace in session?   i dont have c-f (just beryl), but i never have to --replace, just "beryl"
[06:43] <macogw> alecwh: for session startup, i mean.  if metacity's already running, i might have to....

[06:43] <alecwh> be right back...
[06:44] <slestak> anyone know a mail client that can enable a particular mail account only if a particular connection is established? ie, only check work mail if vpn is active?  Evolution doesnt appear to do anything like this.
[06:44] <NemesisD> im helping somebody set up their network connection, how do we find out what our ip address is (if we are getting one)?
[06:44] <Flannel> NemesisD: ifconfig
[06:44] <Jordan_U> NemesisD, ifconfig
[06:44] <alecwh> macogw, this: "compiz  --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:44] <alecwh> right?
[06:44] <compengi> anyone here knows how to work with iptables?
[06:44] <NemesisD> Flannel, Jordan_U thanks :)
[06:44] <Fedman> cactaur: Tank you it's great :D
[06:44] <macogw> alecwh: try it *Shrug* cant hurt anything
[06:44] <alecwh> ok
[06:44] <specialmoose> crap, i think i just killed administrative tools
[06:44] <cactaur> Fedman: no problem
[06:45] <alecwh> macogw, do I need to restart my PC, or just X server.
[06:45] <macogw> alecwh: just X should be fine
[06:45] <Knux> Q : anyone knows how to use pidentd on ubuntu? I installed it but I stuck there
[06:46] <Veinor> for some reason, some of my apps show up in a different font: the one in http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png . Is there any way to change that?
[06:46] <alecwh> No luck, macogw.
[06:46] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: any ideas?
[06:46] <macogw> alecwh: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-effects?
[06:46] <alecwh> I will.
[06:46] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  OK, I can't play there, had to back out and gksudo in.
[06:46] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, No :(
[06:46] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: 0o I am also on wireless...
[06:47] <NemesisD> for some reason network settings isn't letting me add any dns servers, anyone know why that may be?
[06:47] <Jordan_U> n2diy, It should be a user specific preference
[06:48] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Well, everything was ghosted out, now I'm in, exploring.
[06:52] <alecwh> Hello, sorry, my computer is being weird. Anyway, I want to boot up "Compiz Fusion" on startup. However, I also need to to start Compiz Fusion with INDIRECT RENDERING. I have already put this in to my session manager: "compiz  --indirect-rendering ccp", and that didn't give me luck. Any ideas/help?
[06:52] <orbisvicis> !find lxdvd
[06:52] <ubotu> Package/file lxdvd does not exist in feisty
[06:53] <Flannel> alecwh: #ubuntu-effects for compiz support
[06:53] <alecwh> Flannel, I tried there. Nobody's home. :(
[06:53] <Flannel> alecwh: try #beryl
[06:53] <macogw> Flannel: thats the wrong channel
[06:53] <ocha> Jordan_U: hey man, after typing in "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ./etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup" do i just do a restart? and will the shell tell me anythiing if i did it correnty?
[06:53] <NemesisD> now its not letting me add any connections in network settings
[06:53] <macogw> alecwh: #compiz-fusion
[06:54] <NemesisD> and still wont let me put in a dns address
[06:54] <homanj> ocha: what are you trying to do? i came into the convo late.
[06:54] <alecwh> Thanks Flannel, macogw.
[06:54] <OmegaCenti_> Flannel: Always the helpful one eh
[06:55] <Jordan_U> ocha, All that does is copy the file, no need to restart, and it won't give any output if it worked
[06:55] <OmegaCenti_> Anybody want to tackle my problem with system beep?
[06:55] <din> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then try startx to test it
[06:55] <NemesisD> does anybody know why i would not be able to add any dns servers in network settings?
[06:55] <OmegaCenti_> I just want to hear the sweet piezoelectric buzz of my PC... :(
[06:55] <ocha> homanj: i tryed getting tv out and my monitor to work throiugh changin the xorg.conf, it didn't end too pretty, now im trying to get my old setting back, becausee the x server won't start
[06:55] <din> NemesisD: add them manually /etc/resolv.conf
[06:56] <smultron> anyone familiar with the pine email client?
[06:56] <NemesisD> din whats the syntax on that?
[06:56] <din> ocha: ah, you don't have X started as of yet
[06:56] <gumpish> is there a command to view filesystem activity?
[06:56] <Flannel> smultron: Pine isn't Free.  mutt is the free alternative.
[06:56] <homanj> ocha: there is command to reconfigure x
[06:56] <din> NemesisD: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:56] <smultron> Flannel: you mean free as in speech?
[06:57] <ocha> Jordan_U: it aint working though, when it copys, how do i start the xserver up
[06:57] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | ocha
[06:57] <ubotu> ocha: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[06:57] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Well, I'm still having permission problems, but I think you've set me on the rigtht path.
[06:57] <din> ocha: try this "sudo X -configure"
[06:57] <din> that should get you a working config
[06:57] <din> and then cp the test config that it makes for you to /etc/X11
[06:58] <Flannel> smultron: I do.  pine can't legally (usefully) be in Ubuntu
[06:58] <ocha> din, then what? start the x server?
[06:59] <din> ocha: after you get it copied into X11, run startx to test it. you can kill that session with ctrl+alt+bkspace.
[06:59] <din> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start will give you a login screen.
[06:59] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron, long live Pico, may it rest in peace.
[07:00] <ocha> din, what would i type to copy it over?
[07:00] <din> ocha: do you have the name of the file it created for you?
[07:00] <smultron> n2diy: what's that mean? (sorry, i'm slow :P )
[07:00] <drama1981> hello. im prepairing to move to ubuntu from fedora. however i have a few questions.
[07:01] <drama1981> is there an expert install option?
[07:01] <ocha> /home/midori/xcon.conf.new i think
[07:01] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron,  pico was the editor that was part of the pine package.
[07:01] <NemesisD> din, ok anything that i need to do now that that file is saved?
[07:02] <ocha> din xorg.conf.new
[07:02] <Flannel> drama1981: on the alternate CD, yes
[07:02] <din> ocha: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup && sudo cp /home/midori/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:02] <ocha> din i think
[07:02] <krinns> hi all
[07:02] <krinns> any one works on SRSS with ubuntu
[07:02] <specialmoose> whats a good mp3 player for ubuntu that has an equalizer?
[07:02] <drama1981> umm how do i know which one i have? i have the dvd
[07:02] <smultron> n2diy: oh, so they're both non-free, then, right?
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: amarok
[07:02] <okaratas> hello
[07:02] <din> :)
[07:02] <specialmoose> din, i cant get mp3's to work
[07:02] <specialmoose> din, damn app keeps crashing/not working
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: you are missing codecs then
[07:02] <ocha> din which one? or both
[07:02] <Flannel> smultron: pico is also non-Free, yes.  nano is the equivalent.  pico/pine, nano/mutt
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: which app?
[07:03] <Strangelv> Jordan_U: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh doesn't fix my problem of three FUBAR video modes that I can't get to work or get rid of (640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768) on my 1280x768 LCD display.  If I remove them from the menu they appear anyway and don't work; if I leave them checked they still don't work.  Are there any keywords I should try searching for before filing a bug report?
[07:03] <specialmoose> din, amarok
[07:03] <orbisvicis> !find ldvdnav
[07:03] <din> ocha: both
[07:03] <ubotu> Package/file ldvdnav does not exist in feisty
[07:03] <din> the && makes the second one run directly after the first
[07:03] <smultron> Flannel: oh, gotcha
[07:03] <veneboy> Hi.
[07:03] <din> specialmoose: run amarok from a terminal
[07:03] <din> and see what error it gives you
[07:03] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron,  license issues, haven't seen pico, or pine, in a number of years. Nano replaced pico, and you probably have that.
[07:04] <navets> hey i need some help
[07:04] <pdxkid> hi all - google let me down.  how can i show the speed of my SATA hard drive (feisty)
[07:04] <specialmoose> din, a bunch lol
[07:04] <navets> how can i burn an .avi to be played on a regular dvd player
[07:04] <Flannel> drama1981: DVD has both installation methods, so yes.  expert mode available on that too
[07:04] <pdxkid> dmesg makes it look like 2 of my SATA drives are running at 3.0g and 2 are at 1.5
[07:04] <pdxkid> i want to sort that out
[07:04] <din> specialmoose: like?
[07:04] <Strangelv> specialmoose: good MP3 player with eq: XMMS
[07:04] <ocha> din then startx???
[07:04] <DavidCraft_> how do i bring down my wireless interface so that i can change its settings via ifconfig. I did ifconfig ath0 down, but when i try to set something, it says the device is busy
[07:04] <din> ocha: yes
[07:04] <specialmoose> din, whats that site where i can post up code and send you the link?
[07:05] <alecwh> navets, try "DeeVeeDee"
[07:05] <alecwh> in the reps.
[07:05] <alecwh> repos*
[07:05] <din> ocha: you can kill that X session when it starts with ctrl+alt+bkspc
[07:05] <ocha> din thanks, let me try it
[07:05] <smultron> n2diy or Flannel: do either of you know how to set up mutt or pine with a simple IMAP account? I open both applications and they both seem to be assuming i've already set up a config file elsewhere or something.
[07:05] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: ifdown ath0
[07:06] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, tried that aswell
[07:06] <din> specialmoose: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:06] <drama1981> ok Flannel i just noticed that (hit f1). it says to enter expert in the command line. do i have to remove the whole command line then type expert or how do i do it? im used to fedora and just typing expert
[07:06] <n2diy> smultron: nope
