[03:49] <liquidscythe> like when im on youtube i cant hear anything
[03:49] <niruana> Warbo: ask in #remote-exploit
[03:50] <RideSn> i start with creating 2 partitions on my 60gb toshiba mk6025gas hdd and install windows xp pro w/
[03:50] <RideSn> slipstream sp2 on c: . Install goes fine, windows boots normal, etc. I then install dapper on the
[03:50] <RideSn> second partition(30gb and 20gb respectively), totally default install, and all appears well. when i
[03:50] <RideSn> reboot the machine i get to: "GRUB loading stage 1.5  GRUB loading, please wait..." no error
[03:50] <RideSn> reported. the system just hangs right there. . i've hunted for answers hi and low today
[03:50] <soundray> liquidscythe: disable ESD (System-Prefs-Sound, uncheck sound server startup)
[03:50] <Asc_> How can I set the update manager to never download something?  I'm running kernel 2.6.17, I don't want to download the 2.6.15-24 source, or the 2.6.15-26 image either
[03:51] <liquidscythe> where
[03:51] <liquidscythe> can you help me though it
[03:51] <soundray> liquidscythe: it's all in my answer.
[03:52] <wickers> Warbo, a linux box with a wifi adapter can act as an access point using what is called hostap. On top of that you can add dhcpd, dns (yes you will need to act as a DNS or at least point your clients to a working dns), a form of QoS (quality of service), a form of quota (bandwidth capping, or limiting) and a hand full of other services which all depends on what exactly you want to do.
[03:52] <liquidscythe> wtf
[03:52] <liquidscythe> where is that
[03:52] <niruana> liquidscythe:  just do what he wrote down?
[03:52] <niruana> system - sound - unwink ESD
[03:52] <Warbo> wickers: Thanks a lot, that's just waht I was after. I wanted a list of stuff to research and you've given me quite a few :)
[03:52] <niruana> *uncheck

[03:53] <niruana> lol
[03:54] <wickers> Warbo, honestly, a cheap WAP is often your best bet.. the only advantage of using linux as a access point is the fine control it gives you. So if you just want to give others free wifi a $30 access point will save you the headache.
[03:54] <Dial_tone> is anyone having trouble burning cd's lately? I can burn a dvd iso but audio cd's fail everytime
[03:54] <twobitsprite> so... I have a bunch of WMA formated files -- legally, of course ;) -- and rhythmbox says invalid file format, or something... I thought I had all of the codecs installed, I can play mp3s, etc... what am I missing?
[03:54] <liquidscythe> it didnt work
[03:54] <niruana> wickers: do you know something about WPA-PSK ?
[03:54] <liquidscythe> good work retard
[03:54] <liquidscythe> lol
[03:54] <Warbo> wickers: I already have one, but I lent it to a mate. I am curious about running my own though
[03:54] <wickers> niruana, I know 'something' about it, yes.
[03:55] <shinobi2> how do i get flash plugin for firefox?

[03:55] <niruana> i dont see any option in ubuntu to enter a WPA key...
[03:55] <klees> is there a way to hide the title bar under metacity??

[03:56] <wickers> Warbo, another thing you could consider, if you already have a router that is non-wireless, you can setup a linux box with a wifi adapter to act as just an access point, and forwarding everything else to the router (dns, dhcp, ntp, etc...) Letting it take care of the dirty work.
[03:56] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:56] <wickers> niruana, look up wpa_suppliment
[03:56] <niruana> idd readed about it
[03:56] <soundray> wickers: ...-supplicant?
[03:57] <niruana> but i'm not whiser of it now
[03:57] <niruana> i need to make my own config or something, could you help me trough it step by step wickers  ?
[03:57] <RideSn> any thoughts on my grub loader issue?
[03:57] <wickers> niruana, I don't use WPA that often. (I do encripted VPN over an open wireless signal)
[03:58] <wickers> niruana, so I would really not be the best to ask. ANd I don't have the time at the moment.
[03:58] <liquidscythe> I STILL CANT HEAR SHIT
[03:58] <Warbo> wickers: Good idea. I bought two routers, one with a modem and one with wifi, since it was cheaper than one with both, but I am just interested in what's possible to do. I obviously want to have priority for bandwidth, but thought some other stuff may be interesting to do as well.... Mind you, I can't even get port forwarding to work on my wired router :)
[03:58] <[NP] Tangent> is there a way to get battery status in the terminal?
[03:58] <eigenlambda> i just got a patch into gnome-terminal

[03:59] <dadgumit> working on getting dual heads going in dapper, ati x800xl, dissimilar monitors and resolutions.  No luck though, my programs still say "firewalled"
[04:00] <Hobbsee> [12:00]  <wickers> liquidscythe, you won't get that much help by acting like that.
[04:00] <eigenlambda> so i just got a patch into gnome-terminal that fixes a fairly important usability issue.  it can easily be added to our gnome-terminal too, not just cvs-head there
[04:00] <spring> hi how do i create executable bash file so a click will execute it
[04:00] <dadgumit> liquidscythe: being a tard isn't going to enable sound
[04:00] <niruana> ok thx wickers
[04:00] <soundray> Thanks nalioth, Hobbsee
[04:00] <nalioth> liquidscythe: please be civil
[04:00] <ic56> # balb
[04:01] <eigenlambda> i suppose i should put it as a bug in launchpad if i want to see the improvement any time soon huh.
[04:01] <dadgumit> working on getting dual heads going in dapper, ati x800xl, dissimilar monitors and resolutions. Have been trying the guide from breezy, but the closest I have gotten this far is one monitor alive, and weirdness (firefox will start, be open according to the sys prefs window, but not be selectable, or in the task bar or whatnot) any help?
[04:01] <wickers> bbiab
[04:01] <liquidscythe> how do i enable sound in DD
[04:01] <liquidscythe> FF
[04:01] <dadgumit> !FF
[04:01] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[04:01] <Warbo> !sound
[04:01] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:01] <liquidscythe> wtf
[04:02] <liquidscythe> that helps me not
[04:02] <dadgumit> it helps me though, wasn't sure I knew what you meant by FF
[04:02] <Warbo> liquidscythe: Firefox doesn't usually make sounds. What is the real problem?
[04:02] <liquidscythe> no
[04:02] <liquidscythe> like on youtube
[04:02] <niruana> he doesnt have flash sound Warbo
[04:02] <dadgumit> and maybe say I have tried, ystem -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa, and it didn't work
[04:03] <liquidscythe> i try to watch the movies
[04:03] <wthww> hey guys, i think i found a solution to some of the problems with the wg111v2 wifi card
[04:03] <liquidscythe> BUT I CANT HEAR
[04:03] <liquidscythe> wtf
[04:03] <Warbo> Ah
[04:03] <Warbo> Flash is crappy
[04:03] <dadgumit> fist step, relax
[04:03] <Warbo> Try "fuser /dev/dsp" to see what is using the soundcard
[04:03] <soundray> Warbo, dadgumit: don't feed the troll pls
[04:03] <spring> ok a real simple question, which file from /etc do i modify so each time i execute a binary the env var in ./bashrc can get imported
[04:03] <dadgumit> meh
[04:03] <wthww> the iwndows xp drivers for the wg111v2 is the problem with ndis wrapper and that card
[04:04] <Snake> How can I get ubuntu to not display things I have mounted in the desktop?
[04:04] <spring> i played with /etc/profile, doesn't seem to work
[04:04] <dadgumit> working on getting dual heads going in dapper, ati x800xl, dissimilar monitors and resolutions.

[04:04] <wthww> if you use the windows 2000 ones, it works
[04:04] <soundray> dadgumit: sorry, didn't mean to be harsh
[04:04] <spring> dapper reminds me of diaper, a real bad name
[04:04] <Warbo> Snake: Applications>System Tools>Configuration Editor>apps>nautilus
[04:04] <dadgumit> soundray: :P no worries I deserved it
[04:04] <Snake> spring: Dapper means well dressed ;)
[04:04] <eigenlambda> spring: ???
[04:04] <Snake> Warbo: thanks very much
[04:05] <spring> hehe
[04:05] <soundray> spring: can you please rephrase: what are you trying to do?
[04:05] <Snake> spring: were a well dressed dragon (or duck)
[04:05] <Warbo> Does wearing diapers make you dapper?
[04:05] <eigenlambda> spring: plz 2 not sound like a gnaa person
[04:05] <dadgumit> any help with dual heads?
[04:06] <Snake> Warbo: I have no "System Tools"
[04:06] <sethk> dadgumit, what's the problem?
[04:06] <niruana> same here Snake
[04:06] <dadgumit> working on getting dual heads going in dapper, ati x800xl, dissimilar monitors and resolutions. Have been trying the guide from breezy, but the closest I have gotten this far is one monitor alive, and weirdness (firefox will start, be open according to the sys prefs window, but not be selectable, or in the task bar or whatnot) any help?
[04:06] <Warbo> Snake: Go in Applications>Alacarte Menu Editor and enable Configuration Editor
[04:06] <Snake> Oh okay
[04:06] <FourPointNine> This channel is for getting help right?
[04:06] <spring> soundray: i need to have access to some environment variables from ./bashrc whenever i run eclipse by clicking its icon
[04:06] <Warbo> FourPointNine: Yep
[04:07] <bimberi> FourPointNine: yes, occasionally :)
[04:07] <FourPointNine> Alright.
[04:07] <sethk> dadgumit, you have to get both monitors up at the same time before you can draw any conclusions from anything such as firefox
[04:07] <dadgumit> sethk: I think I must be close, cause I can get x to start, but not run programms correct, do I need to reconfigure my install for dual heads or something?
[04:07] <RideSn> take a stab at this one. .
[04:07] <RideSn> i started with creating 2 partitions on my 60gb toshiba mk6025gas hdd and install windows xp pro w/ slipstream sp2 on c: . Install goes fine, windows boots normal, etc. I then install dapper on the second partition(30gb and 20gb respectively), totally default install, and all appears well. when i reboot the machine i get to: "GRUB loading stage 1.5  GRUB loading, please wait..." no error reported. the system just hangs right there. .
[04:07] <dadgumit> sethk: I wasn't drawing conclusions, just trying to give as much info as possible for diagnostics
[04:07] <soundray> spring: write a bash wrapper for eclipse that exports the variables you need and associate that with the icon.
[04:08] <Snake> w00t ubuntu got pwned
[04:08] <Vermyndax> evenin
[04:08] <Snake> thanks Warbo
[04:08] <CyDrive> Does anyone know a good graphics compiler for Dev C++?
[04:08] <dadgumit> thought it was weird, and FF works all other times
[04:08] <FourPointNine> If I place an Ubuntu Server CD in the CD Drive while Ubuntu is running will it convert my ubuntu desktop into the server edition?
[04:08] <nalioth> Snake: are you getting helped in here?
[04:08] <Snake> nalioth: indeed
[04:08] <sethk> dadgumit, it is weird, but I don't think it helps with dual heads.
[04:08] <SurfnKid> RideSn, hope you didnt have to install Windows either, you dont have to
[04:08] <snoops> is there a way to detect when a monitor is plugged into a graphics card, same with tv card?
[04:08] <sethk> dadgumit, can you paste your xorg.conf to the paste bot?
[04:08] <spring> soundray: I tried that, it works but was wandering if i can tweak /etc/profile or similar so i don't have to run shell script
[04:08] <bimberi> CyDrive: anjuta is one
[04:08] <SurfnKid> RideSn, i mean reinstall windows after that error, i had the same thing happen
[04:09] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: I don't believe it will
[04:09] <snoops> err say with tv out on graphics card rather*
[04:09] <RideSn> surfinkid: well it would still be nice
[04:09] <soundray> spring: maybe you just need to export your variables.
[04:09] <SurfnKid> RideSn, I just reinstalled Dapper and grub came right bak up
[04:09] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: my understanding is that the only difference between ubuntu-server and normal ubuntu is the ubuntu-desktop meta package
[04:09] <Warbo> snoops: Well, monitors can be detected somehow, so surely running a monitor detector will tell you if one is plugged in or not
[04:09] <SurfnKid> RideSn, was able to go into my XP partition fine
[04:09] <dadgumit> seth, which one you want? Ihave the one that ati tried to make itself, I have the cleaned up verision I made (which will let X run with windows, and I have my funcitoning one monitor one
[04:10] <thejoe> whats the best rss reader for ubuntu???
[04:10] <Vermyndax> Giant squid: caught on camera: next saturday on discovery channel!
[04:10] <Warbo> !best
[04:10] <ubotu> 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.
[04:10] <FourPointNine> I thought the server had LAMP already on it.
[04:10] <RideSn> surfnkid: yes that wasnt a problem
[04:10] <spring> soundray: a system exported variables reside in where? I tried /etc/profile, doesn't work
[04:10] <SurfnKid> RideSn, wicked, so its workin now
[04:10] <diesel> Anyone have any idea why my gnome-cups-manager does not list any printers at all?
[04:10] <snoops> Warbo okay.. do you know of a service to detect when one is plugged in?
[04:10] <sethk> dadgumit, start with the one ati install created
[04:10] <RideSn> surfnkid: im sorry, no i can't boot either OS when it hangs up
[04:11] <spring> window may have bad name but i found developing on win much easier than linux, always run into problems, have to hunt down unstable packages to make things work
[04:11] <sethk> diesel, it hasn't found any printers.  How is your printer connected?
[04:11] <RideSn> surfnkid: but when inside ubuntu i can mount the windows partition
[04:11] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: you can do a LAMP install or just a server install, which is basically just the console
[04:11] <diesel> sethk: usb
[04:11] <dadgumit> sethk: will do, 1 sec, first time using paste bin
[04:11] <SurfnKid> RideSn, mmmm so you reinstalled Dapper then? and the error came back?
[04:11] <FourPointNine> So how can I install LAMP on the Desktop?
[04:11] <sethk> diesel, does lsusb show it?
[04:12] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: just apt-get install apache php mysql-server
[04:12] <sethk> diesel, when you turn the printer on, does dmesg show it as a new device?
[04:12] <lecaros> hi
[04:12] <diesel> sethk: yes
[04:12] <soundray> spring: if you define a variable in /etc/profile or .bashrc with 'VAR=something' it will only be available to the shell. If you follow it up with 'export VAR', it will be available to programs called by or from the shell.
[04:12] <diesel> sethk: lsusb shows the device
[04:12] <RideSn> surfnkid, with only dapper installed, grub is fine. it only hangs when windows is present
[04:12] <sethk> diesel, go through the add printer sequence.  Hopefully, when you get to the port setting, it will appear on the list of available ports.
[04:12] <RideSn> . . on the drive
[04:12] <Redrose> !java
[04:12] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[04:12] <lecaros> have you installed a compaq ij600 printer? (usb, detected as Lexmark Inkjet 4103)
[04:13] <diesel> sethk: gnome-cups-manager shows it as a detected device, but then installing drivers gives me no option of manufacturers
[04:13] <SurfnKid> RideSn, thats weird
[04:13] <soundray> RideSn: perhaps try the fix for grub mentioned here:
[04:13] <soundray> !grub
[04:13] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:13] <dadgumit> sethk: I lied, I don't have the one ATI tried to auto create
[04:13] <spring> soundray: thanks soundray, i will try that now :)
[04:13] <SurfnKid> RideSn, so you choose to boot to XP and it hangs
[04:13] <sethk> diesel, that sounds like the cups printer configuration file creation package needs to be install
[04:13] <RideSn> surfnkid, ok thanks for the help,i'll take a look
[04:13] <SurfnKid> RideSn,  sure thing
[04:13] <diesel> sethk: what is that package?
[04:14] <RideSn> surfnkid, no i don't get to that option
[04:14] <sethk> diesel, in synaptic, do a search for cups, see what shows as not yet installed
[04:14] <dadgumit> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19268
[04:15] <sethk> diesel, I think cupsys-driver-gimpprint and cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data will do it.
[04:15] <RideSn> surfnkid, it hangs before grub stage2
[04:15] <sethk> diesel, but if they are already installed, then I'm wrong  :)
[04:15] <SurfnKid> RideSn, so how are you bootin to Dapper
[04:15] <sethk> dadgumit, I'll take a look.
[04:15] <dadgumit> sethk: thnx
[04:15] <FourPointNine> I got this message when I tried to install LAMP: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

[04:15] <eigenlambda> how long do you think it will take for ubuntu to package the new gnome-terminal?
[04:15] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: sorry, you have to do it sudo
[04:15] <ymmotrojam> anyone here know anything about installing eaccelerator?
[04:16] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: so the command would be "sudo apt-get install apache php mysql-server"
[04:16] <RideSn> surfnkid, either with the live cd or reformatting the whole drive and only having dapper installed on the whole drive
[04:16] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: it will ask for your password, then move on
[04:16] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: make sure Synaptic is closed

[04:17] <spring> whats the short cut key to minimize all windows on desktop
[04:17] <diesel> sethk: those are not installed...will do that, then get back to you
[04:17] <SurfnKid> RideSn, do a low level format and check the MBR for any errors, then reinstall XP then Dapper and hope it works, its such a drag for the hdd but i know ya wanna have both OS's
[04:17] <sethk> diesel, k
[04:17] <FourPointNine> I got this message: E: Couldn't find package php.

[04:17] <Vermyndax> FourPointNine: hrm... gee... what's the php package, fellas?  php5?
[04:17] <SurfnKid> :)
[04:18] <RideSn> surfnkid, ;) thanx
[04:18] <ymmotrojam> anyone here know anything about installing eaccelerator with php?
[04:18] <SurfnKid> RideSn, np
[04:18] <timczer> surknkid: current php package is php5
[04:19] <dadgumit> sethk: you get a chance to look?
[04:19] <harisund> why does my lsb_release tell me 'no LSB modules available' ??
[04:19] <RideSn> surfnkid, BTW, lilo didn't work either when i tryed it
[04:19] <RideSn> we'll see
[04:19] <SurfnKid> yeah
[04:20] <sethk> dadgumit, your server layout section only has one screen line.  for dual monitors, it needs to have two screen lines (one for each monitor)
[04:20] <dadgumit> sethk: yeah, that is the one ATI made, I can show you my cleaned up one if you like
[04:21] <ymmotrojam> sorry, new to IRC, are people seeing this message?
[04:21] <sethk> dadgumit, ok, I'll look at it if you like

[04:21] <nelly> ymmotrojam: yep
[04:21] <SurfnKid> !lilo
[04:21] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.

[04:21] <sethk> vortexvein, by default it is accessible to root.   use sudo and chmod, or sudo and chown, to allow others to access it
[04:22] <ku> oopS!
[04:22] <dadgumit> if you think you could help... I really think the fact that it will parse and start X but with wierdness is  a key to the problem
[04:22] <vortexvein> okay, I'll try that sethk
[04:23] <sethk> dadgumit, might be, but unless that tells you something it doesn't tell me, I don't see how it helps.
[04:23] <FourPointNine> where can I find apache's folder?
[04:23] <dadgumit> sethk: I was hoping it would tell someone on here something it didn't tell me

[04:24] <sethk> dadgumit, make sure xinerama is installed
[04:24] <dadgumit> sethk: accordign to what I have read, xinerama is supposed to NOT be installed with the ATI spanning
[04:25] <dura> Hai
[04:25] <Unintentional> does anyone know how to put a time limit on a script (i.e. auto-kill after x minutes?)
[04:25] <diesel> sethk: I installed cupsys-driver-gimpprint
[04:25] <wickers> So if I install 6.06, it will have security and bug updates for 3 years?
[04:25] <dadgumit> !xinerama
[04:25] <dura> Any eaccelerator users here running it on Dapper?
[04:25] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XineramaHowTo

[04:25] <ymmotrojam> I'm a newbie when it comes to compiling software in linux. I have setup a webserver at my home which runs a pretty basic lamp setup, and I'm looking at installing eaccelerator to lessen the load on the server (my website is here http://www.wikible.org ). I don't know how to compile it though
[04:25] <sethk> dadgumit, you can do it either way.  I've had better results with xinerama
[04:25] <dura> Dapper Server...
[04:25] <diesel> sethk: however cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data was not found
[04:25] <bimberi> wickers: yes
[04:25] <dadgumit> sethk: I would prefer to have seperate monitors, since I have non similar resolutions
[04:25] <wickers> bimberi, I mean, without suscribing to official support.
[04:25] <Dial_tone> if you mark mail as junk in evolution, does that train spamassassin or just delete mail?
[04:25] <sethk> diesel, I show it in my synaptic.  possibly you don't have all repositories enabled?
[04:25] <dura> or not...
[04:26] <bimberi> wickers: yes
[04:26] <sethk> dadgumit, ok
[04:26] <wickers> I already have a few desktop boxen with ubuntu 6.06, but I want to setup a production server with it, just wat to be clear.
[04:26] <wickers> Something I don't want to have to reimage within the next three years.
[04:26] <diesel> sethk: I have universe and multivers
[04:26] <bimberi> wickers: it will be freely supported for 3 yeas (from 1/6/06)
[04:26] <wickers> Or pay for support for that matter.
[04:26] <bimberi> *years
[04:26] <wickers> Nice
[04:26] <vortexvein> i type in "sudo chmod" and I get "chmod: too few arguments"
[04:26] <wickers> :D
[04:26] <dura> Any eaccelerator users here running it on Dapper Server?
[04:26] <sanity> what is the simplest way to get the "mail" command working on an ubuntu system (ie. for sending email only).  right now there is no "mail" command
[04:27] <ymmotrojam> dura: I'm trying
[04:27] <dura> ymmotrojam:  I don't know what to edit in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
[04:27] <dura> It builds fine...
[04:27] <dadgumit> I have a problemwith getting multiple monitor's working anyone knowledgeable?
[04:27] <XGL_guy> Hello!
[04:27] <ymmotrojam> dura: I'm here to get support for it to, I have no clue how to set it up
[04:28] <vortexvein> to get permissions to my external hard drive do I type in sudo chmod /media/usbdisk-1 or what?
[04:28] <dura> ymmotrojam: Did you read the README in the uncompressed /dir ?
[04:28] <FourPointNine> I got this message when trying to save a HTML file there: You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please, check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[04:28] <dura> vortexvein: man chown && man chmod
[04:28] <Redrose> !java
[04:28] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[04:28] <ymmotrojam> dura: yeah, it keeps giving me errors like the configure script doesn't exist
[04:28] <diesel> sethk: a search on packages.ubuntu.com also does not find cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data
[04:29] <vortexvein> okay, I type in man chown && man chmod and I get a manual
[04:29] <dura> vortexvein: Correct ... read the man pages and learn how to use chmod and chown.
[04:30] <niruana> exit
[04:30] <niruana> oeps
[04:30] <nalioth> ymmotrojam: some source pkgs don't have configure scripts
[04:30] <niruana> nn all ;) going to bed
[04:30] <phuzz> anyone know howto change the default sound card so its actually set as the default? (doesnt work for me)
[04:30] <dura> phuzz: Do you have more then oce?
[04:31] <dura> one
[04:31] <phuzz> yeah onboard and pci
[04:31] <dura> Any eaccelerator users here running it on Dapper Server?
[04:31] <dura> phuzz: Disable the onboard in the BIOS.
[04:31] <Dial_tone> if you update the kernel AFTER you have vmware-player installed what do you run to rebuild the kernel module?
[04:31] <the_rat> HELLO!!
[04:31] <phuzz> yeah i was thinking that
[04:31] <dura> phuzz: That's what I would do...
[04:31] <phuzz> thats the simplest answer?
[04:32] <ymmotrojam> nalioth: the directions I keep reading to install it are saying ./configure ...
[04:32] <nalioth> ymmotrojam: do you have "build-essential" installed?
[04:32] <ymmotrojam> I'll check
[04:32] <dura> sunspots... cast a glare in my eyes.
[04:32] <dura> :)
[04:33] <ymmotrojam> nalioth: I did not, but I have checked the uncompressed directory, and there isn't a configure file anyways
[04:33] <the_rat> does anyone knows how to configure moodle?
[04:33] <SurfnKid> !moodle
[04:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about moodle - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:33] <SurfnKid> whats moodle
[04:34] <nalioth> ymmotrojam: perhaps it's in a subdir? or did you get the cvs/svn stuff and it not have a configure script?
[04:34] <dura> ymmotrojam: Read teh README first... there's more to it
[04:34] <FourPointNine> If I uninstalled Ubuntu and Installed the server edition would anything be different?
[04:34] <dura> ymmotrojam: I just installed eaccelerator.
[04:34] <dura> the rc1
[04:34] <the_rat> moodle is a system for online learning
[04:35] <dura> That's why I'm asking about php.ini heh
[04:35] <dura> Had you read the README ...
[04:35] <ymmotrojam> yeah, I'm working off of that version as well ;-)
[04:35] <ymmotrojam> I'll look at it now
[04:35] <ymmotrojam> I did look at it though, I'll look at it more carefully now
[04:35] <vortexvein> okay, reading the manual was useless.
[04:36] <vortexvein> I still have no clue as to how to get permission to my external hard drive
[04:36] <XGL_guy> Does using the username directory already made make Ubuntu delete it if it users it?
[04:36] <liquidten2> XGL_guy:  The directory will be preserved.
[04:37] <XGL_guy> well, 20Gb of my data is deleted from my /home/user directory
[04:37] <dura> heh
[04:37] <XGL_guy> When I install ubuntu
[04:37] <ymmotrojam> dura: it mentions the php prefix, where is that in a default install of php5?
[04:38] <XGL_guy> installed*
[04:38] <ymmotrojam> on ubuntu dapper
[04:38] <XGL_guy> liquidten2, it's all gone :/

[04:39] <roostishaw> how do i test if a command i ran in a python script was successful?
[04:40] <dadgumit> tryign to get spanned monitors, best I have done this far is to have X configured and it will start, and the second monitor will come out of sleep, but no image. Also, i have noticed firefox will not start (actually it will start, and will be runing in the process list, but wont be availabel to me) if that helps
[04:41] <madewokherd> roostishaw: it depends on how you invoked it
[04:41] <SurfnKid> is there a simple database server besides mysql that isnt so big and i can query one table
[04:41] <madewokherd> if you have a process id, you can do os.wait
[04:41] <roostishaw> madewokherd, print "test"

[05:00] <roostishaw> safrican_, um... had its entry in my sources.list... no?
[05:00] <dura> then you're set

[05:00] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i indicate multiple conditions in python?
[05:00] <ymmotrojam> cool, did that and it worked

[05:15] <shimmi> how do i make grub boot spalsh screen for boot
[05:15] <uXp> Music is still playing after i exited the process
[05:15] <uXp> I want to terminate a proccess that is still running, but not showing up on the taskbar
[05:15] <ardchoille> zoidberg: I would ctrl+alt+f1, log in and do: cat ~/.xsession-errors
[05:15] <roostishaw> anyone, whats wrong with this?  http://pastebin.ca/107693
[05:15] <gekko`> uXp: but you dont know the name?
[05:16] <uXp> amaroK
[05:16] <uXp> is he name of the music player
[05:16] <ardchoille> zoidberg: might give you some info about the problem
[05:16] <gekko`> grte: usually /usr/bin
[05:16] <roaet> lo
[05:16] <grte> gekko`: Thanks.
[05:16] <zoidberg> well i have ubuntu badger
[05:16] <roaet> I have this error: [4708148.020000]  ReiserFS: hdg5: warning: sh-2006: read_super_block: bread failed (dev hdg5, block 16, size 512)
[05:16] <zoidberg> with gnome and XFCE
[05:16] <gekko`> uXp: ps ax | grep amarok shows you the id of the process
[05:16] <zoidberg> i mainaly use sfce
[05:16] <ardchoille> grte: Most of the time, I do  ./configure --prefix=/usr
[05:16] <grte> Now to see if I can get elinks running...
[05:16] <ceruleantiger> I'm having a mouse problem where my PS/2 mouse does not seem to be detected, but I can plug in a usb mouse and it works fine for whatever reason. The PS/2 mouse was working, and I haven't changed much other than maybe a kernel upgrade
[05:16] <zoidberg> xfce but i want to do something in ggnone
[05:17] <zoidberg> and it logs in
[05:17] <gekko`> uXp: then use kill -9 <id>
[05:17] <zoidberg> i haear the music and i can move the cursor but nothing else appears on the desktio or anything else
[05:17] <uXp> omg, i don't know the ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:17] <ceruleantiger> also, I cannot boot into the older kernel because my keyboard is not detected when grub runs (I guess it starts working later), so I can never get into anything other than the default for grub
[05:17] <roaet> ...
[05:17] <roostishaw> anyone, whats wrong with this?  http://pastebin.ca/107693
[05:17] <grte> Well, how do you expect to kill a process if you don't know which process it is?
[05:18] <grte> You're going to have to find out.
[05:18] <gekko`> "05:17 < gekko`> uXp: ps ax | grep amarok shows you the id of the process"
[05:18] <cpk2> uXp: try "ps aux"?
[05:18] <sim__> use xkill and click on the window itll kill it
[05:18] <darth_gimp> under DOS I could unzip multiple packages. How can I do that in Ubuntu?
[05:18] <Asc> grte: with pgrep (name)
[05:18] <ceruleantiger> PS - I'm running a 100% linux box so selecting options from grub has so far not been an issue
[05:18] <snowman> greetings
[05:18] <derrickh> When trying to install libncurses5-dev i get the error message 'Package libncurses5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:18] <derrickh> is only available from another source
[05:18] <derrickh> '  I tried reinstalling libncurses5 but that didnt fix the problem.  does anyone know to do this?  (i am trying to recompile the kernel and libncurses5-dev is needed for makeconfig
[05:18] <grte> Asc: Yeah.
[05:19] <Len> how can i find the appropriate module for my kernel. I mean how do I know that?
[05:20] <snowman> could someone perhaps tell me how to get a screen resolution of higher than 1024x768?  the machine is quite capable of it, and I have added "1280x1024" to the appropriate lines in xorg.conf.  Thanks.
[05:20] <grte> Does anyone know the which operators are necessary to untar a .bz2 archive?
[05:20] <crimsun> a tar.bz2 archive? xf
[05:20] <crimsun> If you want all the switches, use xfj
[05:20] <grte> Okay, thanks.
[05:20] <ceruleantiger> snowman, try 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and select the appropriate resolutions, then restart x
[05:20] <darth_gimp> under DOS I could unzip multiple packages. How can I do that in Ubuntu?
[05:21] <crimsun> tar is intelligent enough to detect whether it's gzipped or bzipped
[05:21] <grte> darth_gimp: unzip <file1> <file2> <file3> etc.
[05:22] <darth_gimp> grte, is there no wildcard option like *.zip ?
[05:22] <snowman> thanks :)
[05:22] <snowman> brb
[05:22] <grte> No, wildcards will work.
[05:23] <grte> unzip *.zip should work just fine.
[05:23] <roostishaw> anyone, whats wrong with this?  http://pastebin.ca/107693
[05:24] <XXS> how do i install mp3-codec in ubuntu5.10 ? i tried apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad as it's said on help.ubuntu.com but this throws an error
[05:24] <snowman> thanks! :D  it worked :)

[05:28] <grte> darth_gimp: I'd try going through the unzip manpage, because I know what you want to do is possible.
[05:28] <grte> I'm just having trouble remembering how.
[05:28] <sim__> yo guys how do i install fonts such as tahoma, arial, etc? web sites look weird
[05:28] <XXS> gekko` any other idea? :(
[05:29] <gekko`> XXS: maybe you dont have the necessary respository
[05:29] <Len> gekko, When i restart the X it says it cant be loaded or something like that.  I need to restore my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use Gnome again

[05:30] <grte> Thanks for all the help, folks.
[05:31] <Dravas> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel?
[05:31] <ardchoille> grte: Why did you compile elinks? Did you know that elinks is in the repos?

[05:32] <Len> gekko': I'm new @ linux I dont know if I have it or not. Besides my Ubuntu it's in portuguese so I dont know if it would be helpfull for u
[05:32] <XXS> ah gekko` i think it works now :)
[05:32] <roostishaw> ardchoille, but its not bash
[05:32] <XXS> thank you so far
[05:32] <Perseid0> Having sound problems. My sound card is detected and works in Amarok, Kaffeine and Neverwinter Nights, but not in KDE itself. No system sounds, Test Sound does nothing and Rosegarden locks up the computer. Any ideas?
[05:32] <gekko`> XXS: no problem
[05:32] <XXS> :)
[05:32] <Dravas> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel in Ubuntu 6.06? I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation...
[05:32] <gekko`> Len: do you use gnome or kde?
[05:32] <stephans> gekko: yes... i tried /etc/init.d/dovecot status
[05:32] <Len> gnome
[05:33] <Dravas> lol
[05:33] <Dravas> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel in Ubuntu 6.06? I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation...
[05:33] <gekko`> stephans: check ps aux | grep dovecot
[05:33] <crimsun> Dravas: Install linux-headers-$(uname -r), which will populate /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/  properly
[05:33] <stephans> ok
[05:34] <] ] ] KaMZaTa[[[> somebody knows a "mail notification" for gnome?
[05:34] <Len> gekko`: gonme
[05:34] <brett_tolbert> hey guys, i'm new with linux and when i try to "./configure" libgpod i get "checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool" anyone know what this means?
[05:34] <gekko`> Len: which graphics card do you use?
[05:35] <Len> gekko`: Geforce 7800 Gtx
[05:35] <crimsun> brett_tolbert: install libxml-parser-perl
[05:35] <gekko`> Len: and you installed nvidia-glx?
[05:35] <brett_tolbert> cool, is that in synaptics package manager?
[05:35] <crimsun> brett_tolbert: yes.
[05:36] <mrproper> How can I tell Ubuntu to reinstall the stock version of a package after I installed a custom version?
[05:36] <sethk> brett_tolbert, it means what it says.  you need to install that perl module
[05:36] <abbot45> having a problem making an audio cd in k3b.  every time i click on an mp3 file to add it it says "unable to handle file due to an unsupported format"
[05:36] <sethk> brett_tolbert, the main perl web site tells you how to do it
[05:36] <crimsun> abbot45: install libk3b2-mp3
[05:36] <Len> gekko`: I had installed it but from what I've read in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia now I use nvidia-glx-legacy
[05:37] <Jenkens> gahhhhhhhhhhhh
[05:37] <brett_tolbert> ok, i'll see what i can do; thanks
[05:37] <Jenkens> why does backspace go all wonky i screen
[05:37] <leed> My openoffice.org can't be loaded after upgrade.
[05:37] <sim__> how do i install windows fonts such as tahoma, arial, etc on ubuntu? websites lookw erd with diff fonts
[05:37] <sim__> whats the package name?
[05:37] <crimsun> sim__: msttcorefonts
[05:38] <abbot45> thanks crimsun.  just wish serpentine wouldn't freeze every time i try to use it.
[05:38] <leed> So I remove it and reinstall it.
[05:38] <leed> But it alse can't be loaded.
[05:38] <leed> In terminal, I try to run openoffice, it reply: fopen() failed, no such file or dictorary
[05:38] <gekko`> Len: why legacy? you need nvidia-glx. check this list: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/appendix-a.html
[05:39] <brett_tolbert> hey crimsum, i found libxml-parser-perl in synaptics and i'm installing it. thanks. i also installed build-essential while ago but i guess it didn't do perl, just c, c++ & java
[05:39] <crimsun> brett_tolbert: correct.
[05:40] <Len> gekko`: Yeah, dont read it properly
[05:40] <gekko`> ok, then remove legacy and install nvidia-glx
[05:40] <Dewbie> legacy drivers for anything suck
[05:41] <brett_tolbert> hmm, libgpod still doesn't want to configure. now i get: "configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gobject-2.0) were not met."
[05:41] <Dewbie> may as well pull out the 5 1/4 floppies
[05:41] <Len>  gekko`: how do I know which linux-restricted-modules I should use?
[05:42] <gekko`> Len: just do an apt-get install nvidia-glx but before remove nvidia-glx-legacy
[05:43] <snoops> 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)' Len
[05:43] <Len> thx snoops
[05:43] <snoops> $(uname -r) evaluates to your current version
[05:43] <leed> so how can I reinstall openoffice.org correctly?
[05:44] <cpk2> leed you could probably purge your current install and then apt-get it
[05:44] <Len> snoops: and when it dont find, what do I do?
[05:44] <snoops> hmm?
[05:44] <leed> purge?? How to?
[05:45] <snoops> leed sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename
[05:45] <leed> Thanks, Let me try it now
[05:46] <Len> snoops: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) -> E: Impossible to find any package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386
[05:46] <Len> which repository I should add?
[05:46] <ash__> is this working
[05:46] <snoops> may need to add universe and multiverse..but I thought it was in security.. oh well
[05:48] <gekko`> Len: do you use dapper drake?
[05:49] <Len> gekko : 6.06 LTS - Dapper Drake
[05:49] <FourPointNine> How do I uninstall ubuntu?
[05:50] <gekko`> Len: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/misc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386
[05:50] <gekko`> download the package from there
[05:50] <Len> kk
[05:50] <amphi> FourPointNine: cat /dev/zero over the partition
[05:50] <purserj> anyone know about the breezy livecd bootstrapper?
[05:50] <ash__> can i use my yahoo messenger from here?
[05:50] <gekko`> ash__: ?
[05:51] <leed> Thanks, purge works.
[05:51] <ash__> some said once i get to here i should be able too use my yahoo chat
[05:52] <FourPointNine> What is the difference between the server edition and the desktop?
[05:52] <AngryElf> what version of glib does ubuntu ship with?
[05:52] <belzar> hey all.. is there a way to play a burnt dvd on ubuntu? i am trying but i cant ever get it to work
[05:53] <CarlFK> belzar: can you play a normal DVD?
[05:53] <joshuapurcell> desktop edition contains a liveCD function as well as being able to install the OS to your hard drive if you like. the server edition uses the server kernel, and I believe there isn't a restricted-modules package for that kernel (if i'm not mistaken). that's just one difference between the server and desktop versions
[05:54] <Len> Gekko: i got the following msg when I click list_of_files link from that page:
[05:54] <Len> Package Contents Search Results
[05:54] <Len> You have searched for the contents of linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386 in dapper, architecture i386.
[05:54] <Len> Can't find that package, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture.
[05:55] <FourPointNine> Are there any graphical changes between the two?
[05:55] <joshuapurcell> this may not be the case with other people's install of server, but when i chose the expert path on server i didn't get an X environment... but i was also installing without an internet connection, so maybe the installation had to connect to the repos in order to get X
[05:55] <CarlFK> FourPointNine: 'server' doesn't come with any apps or X installed.  just things like networking, bash and apt-get so you can apt-get what you need
[05:55] <snoops> how can I extend the length of time that sudo remembers my password in the gui>
[05:56] <joshuapurcell> i did the X install after the initial install. i don't know of any graphical differences if you do install X... other than the restricted modules (including nvidia drivers) not being available on server
[05:56] <FourPointNine> Oh. It doesn't automatically come with LAMP?
[05:56] <joshuapurcell> yes it does (on server)
[05:56] <gekko`> Len: go back and click on i386 and not list of files
[05:56] <joshuapurcell> you will see it in the install options at first bootup
[05:56] <CarlFK> FourPointNine: LAMP is an option on the server CD boot menu
[05:56] <joshuapurcell> off the server Cd
[05:57] <FourPointNine> Can the server edition be installed on an external harddrive?
[05:57] <Len> gekko: yeah... it's dling now. My bad
[05:57] <CarlFK> FourPointNine: yes.
[05:57] <CarlFK> Should I be able to mount two things on the same mount point?
[05:57] <FourPointNine> Thanks for all the help. =)
[05:57] <FourPointNine> .
[05:57] <mister_roboto> CarlFK: no
[05:58] <CarlFK> mister_roboto: didn't think so.  but I did :)
[05:58] <mister_roboto> CarlFK: you can only access one path on the mount point though. you mean you never umounted the old one?
[05:58] <CarlFK> mister_roboto: correct
[05:59] <mister_roboto> CarlFK: hmmm that sounds dangerous. umount cleans up the mounted filesystem
[05:59] <[NP] Tangent> installing ubuntu on my laptop was dangerous (I had no idea wtf I was doing)
[05:59] <CarlFK> mister_roboto: just 2 .iso's  so not going to loose any data
[06:00] <[NP] Tangent> but I did it
[06:00] <paganini> So, I'm running Dapper, and I was messing around with glx/compiz today. It was cool, but really bogged my system down.  Can anyone tell me what steps I need to take to reinstall X without reinstalling my entire system?
[06:00] <[NP] Tangent> experimentation is how progress is made
[06:01] <Len> gekko`: should I remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386 and leave only linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386? or can I leave both?
[06:01] <belzar> Carlfk: no, it says i do not have the apropriate plugins to play dvds
[06:01] <kana> paganini: the easiest way is to purge xserver-xorg and reinstall ubuntu-desktop package. you will have to do a lot of download though for your xserver have a lot of dependent stuff on it
[06:01] <ku> Does anybody know how I could get embeded music on web sites to play over firefox? It says I'm missing a plugin, but won't give me an option to install anything if I click install. I've tried installing both the Totem and Xine plugin for Firefox and they did nothing
[06:01] <Warbo> "After unpacking 1301MB disk space will be freed" I love debfoster :)
[06:01] <paganini> OK
[06:01] <paganini> What does a "purge" entail?
[06:01] <mister_roboto> paganini: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure?
[06:01] <Warbo> ku: check out mozpluger
[06:01] <Warbo> !info mozplugger
[06:01] <paganini> Cos, I uninstalled the xserver-xorg package
[06:01] <ubotu> mozplugger: Plugin allowing external viewers to be launched inside Mozilla. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.7.1-1 (dapper), package size 44 kB, installed size 192 kB
[06:01] <paganini> Reinstalling it didn't fix it
[06:01] <joshuapurcell> paganini: i believe it may be as easy as a reconfigure of the X package
[06:02] <CarlFK> !restricted format
[06:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about restricted format - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:02] <CarlFK> !restricted formats
[06:02] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:02] <gekko`> Len: you can leave both
[06:02] <ku> Warbo: cool, i'll take a loot into that, Thanks
[06:02] <paganini> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't fix it
[06:02] <CarlFK> belzar: read those links
[06:02] <mister_roboto> paganini: well i guess not if you uninstalled xserver :)
[06:02] <paganini> Hehe
[06:02] <kana> paganini: try it but in my case i had to purge and reinstall xserver
[06:02] <paganini> Well I tried dpkg-reconfigure before I tried reinstalling
[06:03] <CarlFK> ku - your music issue may be a restricted format issue too
[06:03] <ku> CarlFK: I don't think so, I already got all those codecs
[06:03] <kana> ku is it a realplayer plugin
[06:03] <Len> gekko`: is it common to have this problem when I execute sudo nvidia-glx-config enable?
[06:03] <kana> for the realplayer plugins that come with mozilla-mplayer is upto realplayer 9 only
[06:03] <Len> lecneri@len:~/Desktop$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[06:04] <Len> Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[06:04] <Len> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this

[06:04] <Len> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[06:04] <ku> kana:  don't think so... it's ytmnd ^^
[06:04] <Len> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[06:04] <Len> from nv to nvidia.
[06:04] <Len> sorry my spam :(
[06:04] <gekko`> Len: nex time use

[06:05] <kana> ku: and you have the mozilla-mplayer package installed
[06:05] <ku> kana: hmm, I think I had it in the past, I'll see if i removed it for some reason
[06:05] <spring> just a silly question do u ppl keep a copy of files in /var/cache/apt/archives for backup purpose
[06:06] <Perseid0> OK. Last call for help. I have sound in Amarok and Kaffeine, but no system sounds and no MIDI anywhere.
[06:06] <Warbo> spring: I always keep it cleaned out
[06:06] <kana> ku if you have both the totem plugin and the mozilla-mplayer firefox will only use the totem plugin by the way
[06:06] <Hobbsee> spring: no.  why would you?
[06:06] <gekko`> Len: what does "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv" output
[06:06] <belzar> thanks carlfk
[06:06] <ku> kana:  ahh ic, I'll remove totem then
[06:06] <Warbo> spring: Actually, I would clean it out right now, since you reminded me, but I am removing loads of stuff at the moment
[06:06] <kana> ku: not totem just the firefox plugin forgot the package name
[06:06] <spring> because I have downloaded 300 MB of files via synaptic, if i reinstall ubuntu, i have to download again
[06:07] <joshuapurcell> Perseid0: Have you tried to test sound before starting amarok or kaffeine?
[06:07] <ku> kana: ahh there ya go, i unsinstalled totem and it worked
[06:07] <ku> ^^ thanks
[06:07] <kana> ku: your welcomed
[06:07] <spring> next time i reinstall ubuntu,  if i have copy, i only have to use 'cp -u bla bla' like that
[06:07] <spring> i think
[06:08] <Warbo> spring: That's true. But I dislike clutter on my system (I just spent the past half hour or so going through debfoster to get rid of clutter)
[06:08] <Perseid0> joshuapurcell: I beleive so
[06:09] <spring> Wanderer: how do u prevent downloading the same thing next time?
[06:09] <spring> data costs $$$
[06:09] <Len> gekko`:  Driver          "nv"
[06:09] <Len> should I put nvidia?
[06:09] <Warbo> spring: Disk space costs  :)
[06:09] <joshuapurcell> Perseid0: i mean sometimes i'll start a program and sound is working fine, then for some reason sound doesn't work after using something like the Skype client (even after the client is shut down)
[06:09] <gekko`> Len: right
[06:10] <spring> Warbo: disk space is cheap nowadays :)
[06:10] <Warbo> (1>$1 as well, so I beat you :))
[06:10] <Warbo> spring: But I only have 250GB! That's nowhere near enough for even a server installation!
[06:10] <the_hammer> hey all
[06:11] <spring> Warbo: 250GB not enough for u!!!!
[06:11] <joshuapurcell> Perseid0: you could try playing an audio file with some program other than amorok or kaffeine first to make sure that sound does work properly, then pull up one of those two programs and test, then test again with some other program after shutting down one of those two programs
[06:11] <Len> gekko` and should I comment Load	"dri"?
[06:11] <joshuapurcell> Persedi0: that may at least tell a little more about what is causing the problem
[06:11] <Warbo> spring: Actually I have about 40GB free at the moment, but bear in mind that I have suffered a couple of hard drive failures recently and I had to start my collection of junk from scratch a couple of months ago
[06:12] <spring> just 1 more silly question, is ubuntu safe for commercial deployment of web app?? I spent so much time getting used to it, will be a shame if it's not
[06:12] <gekko`> Len: show me your xorg.conf. paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give me the link
[06:14] <spring> anyone got vmware running on ubuntu?
[06:14] <Warbo> vmware-player yes
[06:14] <Len> gekko` http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d19274
[06:14] <joshuapurcell> spring: yep
[06:15] <spring> slow?
[06:15] <joshuapurcell> spring: depends on your computer i'm sure... vmware server works fine for me
[06:15] <Warbo> spring: For KDE based distros yes. ReactOS works acceptably (but it crashes a lot since it is still in development. That is ReactOS, not VMWare)
[06:15] <kana> kern_malloc: ir is in the non-free section of the repos
[06:16] <gekko`> Len: everything looks fine
[06:16] <aaqzx>
[06:16] <kana> kern_malloc: sorry wrong channel
[06:16] <Warbo> English only in here please
[06:17] <Recks> Can someone help me with a grub issue I'm having
[06:17] <Recks> ?
[06:17] <aaqzx> Warbo, sy :)
[06:17] <Len> gekko` kk , crt + alt + backspace and pray?
[06:17] <spring> i plan to use Vmware to run winxp hosting subversion so my ubuntu can access it, anyone done that?
[06:17] <[Ex0r] > I have
[06:17] <Warbo> aaqzx: No problem. There are a few different language channels though
[06:17] <ruxpin> what would be a good light-weight www-browser with tabs, for old hardware?
[06:18] <Warbo> !dillo
[06:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about dillo - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[06:18] <ubotu> dillo: Small and fast web browser. In repository universe, is extra. Version 0.8.5-4ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 339 kB, installed size 928 kB
[06:18] <gekko`> Len: if you get black screen, edit Driver "nvidia" to "nv"
[06:18] <Warbo> Not sure if Dillo has tabs though
[06:18] <Recks> Does anyone know if you have to run a special command when booting with SATA drives through a GRUB loader or should it just boot?
[06:18] <Warbo> Recks: Should just boot
[06:18] <Len> gekko` kk
[06:18] <Warbo> Recks: As long as the BIOS understands SATA
[06:18] <Len> cya soon
[06:18] <Recks> yea, my BIOS picks it up
[06:19] <Warbo> Recks: It should just be sda or something then
[06:19] <Recks> I'm using sdc
[06:19] <Recks> as the boot drive
[06:19] <byen> hey guys.. i need help.. how can i burn an iso onto a dvd in cli..
[06:19] <Warbo> Recks: Exactly
[06:19] <byen> please help
[06:19] <joshuapurcell> spring: haven't run windows with subversion... but i've run windows under vmware and subversion on linux. then i had the windows clients connect to subversion through eclipse
[06:20] <joshuapurcell> spring: i've run subversion client on windows though.. and tortoise-svn
[06:20] <Recks> because sda and sdb are a raid array, so I run the live disc, do an ext3 partition for ubuntu and when I restart I get an error through the grub loader saying it can't load the system
[06:20] <joshuapurcell> spring: running the subversion server on linux is the way to go
[06:20] <aaqzx> Warbo, In our country, they use msn or QQ to chat with, Did you use to before?
[06:20] <Recks> and the only way I can get into the OS is from my live disc =-/
[06:20] <Recks> I can see all the files on the drive, it just doesn't boot correctly
[06:21] <aaqzx> Warbo, or someone else use it ever?
[06:21] <Warbo> aaqzx: I use GAIM to talk to people on MSN and Yahoo. I haven't used any other protocols, and I haven't used any other chat programs (except for IRC ones)
[06:21] <joshuapurcell> aaqzx:
[06:21] <aaqzx> Warbo, wow :) cool
[06:21] <Warbo> aaqzx: I am in GAIM now as well
[06:22] <byen> Ok guys, i need some real fast help here.. my friends system is crashed and he can only go into ubuntu via the CLI.. how can he burn an DVD iso via the CLI.. please help
[06:22] <Recks> So anyone got any ideas as to why I won't load into ubuntu?
[06:22] <CarlFK> byen: growisofs

[06:22] <aaqzx> Warbo, in gaim? wow, it's freeware from OpenSource? stable it?
[06:22] <Warbo> Just wondering if it can do DVDs

[06:23] <gekko`> len: no problem
[06:23] <Dravas> umm is it better to change from nv to nvidia in teh driver section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[06:23] <joshuapurcell> Recks: if you were able to see the partition and create during install then I'd be surprised if using SATA is the problem
[06:23] <aaqzx> ubotu, :) tnx
[06:23] <ubotu> I know nothing about :) tnx - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:23] <Warbo> Dravas: It will run faster, but it is a little more complicated than just editing the file
[06:23] <confused> does anyone know how I can emulate the mouse wheel with the thumb button on the side of the mouse?
[06:23] <Warbo> aaqzx: "ubotu" is an automatic robot user :)
[06:23] <CarlFK> byen:  don't know - probably need to sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools

[06:24] <aaqzx> Warbo, wow ... coll
[06:24] <paganini> Well, I reinstalled X, and it worked, sort of. But after I installed the nvidia-glx drivers, it stopped working again. It says it can't find the nvidia module.
[06:24] <Dravas> ok Warbo so what should I do
[06:24] <paganini> I ran dpkg-reconfigure to make sure it is using it, and it is.
[06:24] <paganini> Any other suggestions?
[06:24] <joshuapurcell> it may be your BIOS settings in either your motherboard BIOS or SATA controller BIOS (if you have a SATA controller)
[06:24] <Warbo> !nvidia > Dravas
[06:26] <spring> joshuapurcell: running subversion on win too slow compared with linux?
[06:26] <ruxpin> what's the opera browser called in apt repositories?
[06:27] <crimsun> it's called 'opera', unimpressively enough.
[06:27] <gekko`> paganini: do you have linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) ?
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> Um, when I try to run /usr/games/sol from a terminal, I get filesystem errors.  What should I do?  Reboot?
[06:27] <spring> ubuntu has some riciculous games
[06:28] <Recks> okay when I boot into the grub loader it's telling me "Unknown partition table signature"
[06:29] <joshuapurcell> spring: i don't know if it's too slow, it's just that it seems subversion is more targeted for a UNIX-like host OS in my opinion. subversion server can make good use of the the permissions of a Linux filesystem, Linux system users, etc. it's just something I couldn't imagine running on Windows. it's an open-source server meant for an open source OS
[06:29] <Recks> but when i install it through the terminal it says No error reported but it gives me a bunch of those Unknown Partition table signature errors
[06:29] <NickRivers> OK... stupid question... how do I get the nvidia driver working?  I installed nvidia-glx and enabled it but it doesn't work :(
[06:29] <joshuapurcell> spring: of course I guess there is an install for svn on windows... i wouldn't know that for sure though truthfully... never looked into it
[06:30] <gekko`> NickRivers: did you edit your xorg.conf?
[06:30] <NickRivers> gekko`,  yah, I changed nv to nvidia... ?
[06:31] <joshuapurcell> spring: subversion.tigris.org says the server doesn't run on Windows
[06:31] <joshuapurcell> spring: look at bottom of downloads section where it mentions running the client on Windows
[06:31] <greebo> bluefoxicy, ping?
[06:31] <joshuapurcell> spring: first line in that section
[06:31] <bluefoxicy> what
[06:32] <gekko`> NickRivers: restarted your Xserver?
[06:32] <NickRivers> yes
[06:32] <mister_roboto> joshuapurcell: there are several very good svn clients for windows but never tried running the server on windowsx
[06:32] <gekko`> NickRivers: if you dont get a black screen, everything worked fine
[06:33] <Recks> So no one has any suggestions on my GRUB error?
[06:33] <greebo> bluefoxicy, just wanted to ask whether you would be willing to allow people a right of reply by allowing comments on your blog?
[06:33] <NickRivers> gekko`,  no it didn't because the xserver crashed and I had to change back to the nv driver
[06:33] <joshuapurcell> spring: tortoise-svn rocks for windows, i use the eclipse plugin under Linux
[06:33] <en1gma> anyone know if ububtu has a module rt61
[06:33] <joshuapurcell> spring: which also rocks
[06:34] <joshuapurcell> spring: subclipse.tigris.org
[06:34] <bluefoxicy> greebo:  My blog is on my own server, which is not configured properly to allow setting up accounts or anything
[06:34] <darth_gimp> when mounting a HD wich has windows... how do I make it accessible? I've used the "disks" thing but I got an error "not removable"
[06:35] <gekko`> NickRivers: are the linux-restricted-modules installed?
[06:35] <spring> joshuapurcell: Thanks
[06:35] <joshuapurcell> spring: np
[06:35] <Recks> Am I supposed to use extended 2
[06:35] <Recks> partition
[06:35] <bluefoxicy> (also replies are only good for stroking my own ego, because I invariably pummel anyone who doesn't agree with me into the ground with facts and logic that cannot be argued, and they eventually run out of points to make)
[06:35] <Recks> for GRUB to work?
[06:35] <Recks> or will Extended 3 work as well?
[06:35] <bluefoxicy> (everyone else just goes 'yay you're awesom' which is not useful)
[06:36] <joshuapurcell> Recks: can you boot of the desktop installCD and choose to boot from the first hard drive? does that work?
[06:36] <Recks> I haven't tried that....
[06:36] <Recks> lol
[06:36] <Recks> let me try that
[06:36] <Recks> and I'll report if it does ....
[06:36] <joshuapurcell> Recks: if so then the problem is probably with your grub config, if that doesn't work then grub is probably ok and it is something with your BIOS settings
[06:36] <cadmasteradam> how do i make a wildcard search in ubuntu?
[06:36] <darth_gimp> I get this error when trying to mount the volume: "error: device /dev/hdb1 is not removable"
[06:37] <en1gma> how can i find out if ubuntu will work with my wlan nic
[06:37] <Recks> well I ran slackware 10.2 and no problems
[06:37] <mister_roboto> cadmasteradam: search for what?
[06:37] <Warbo> AA! Amarok is running it's first-run wizard!
[06:37] <Recks> but I can't seem to get ubuntu or mandriva to work
[06:37] <Warbo> I've been using it for ages though
[06:37] <dibblego> how do you set the date?
[06:37] <mister_roboto> dibblego: man date
[06:37] <cadmasteradam> what is the syntax of for a wildcard?
[06:38] <Recks> would it matter if my first hd wasn't the hd ubuntu was on?
[06:38] <joshuapurcell> Recks: what's weird though is that the installCD would boot into the liveCD desktop
[06:38] <NickRivers> gekko`, linux-restricted-modules-<IP_ADDRESS>-1 and linux-restricted-modules-common-<IP_ADDRESS>-3
[06:38] <mister_roboto> cadmasteradam: depends on what you're doing
[06:38] <darth_gimp> dibblego, System > Adminitstratio > Time and Date
[06:38] <dibblego> mister_roboto, can I sync it to a NTP server?
[06:38] <joshuapurcell> Recks: could very well be... it would be a GRUB config issue
[06:38] <dibblego> darth_gimp, I am using ubuntu server
[06:38] <mister_roboto> dibblego: yes
[06:38] <darth_gimp> not sure then
[06:39] <Recks> well lol, what file would I have to configure?
[06:39] <cadmasteradam> mister_roboto: okay i'm in Nautilus searching for a DEB file
[06:39] <cadmasteradam> hows?
[06:39] <Recks> device.map
[06:39] <Recks> ?
[06:39] <darth_gimp> Any one?
[06:40] <mister_roboto> cadmasteradam: i don't know nautilus :)  (kde here)   you can use ? for single character and * for any character(s) for filenames on command line though
[06:40] <darth_gimp> NickRivers, cool name.. just watched that again last night
[06:40] <joshuapurcell> Recks: to reconfigure grub? well you could either boot from a CD then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, or start the install, choose expert, then skip to the grub install section and let it re-install (and re-configure) grub. that would automatically search for all installed OSes and configure GRUB to use them
[06:40] <NickRivers> lol darth_gimp
[06:40] <apeman2020> i need some help installing xwindows system core on my server install of ubuntu...:_
[06:40] <darth_gimp> Trying to mount a hard drive here.. could use a hand...
[06:40] <Recks> hmm okay
[06:40] <Recks> I'm using the live CD
[06:40] <gekko`> NickRivers: did you already try: nvidia-xconfig ?
[06:40] <Recks> so would I be able to access the expert mode through that?
[06:41] <Warbo> Thank god, my Amarok setup is fine (even the queue I had remaining since last time). I have no idea why it ran it's setup wizard...
[06:41] <NickRivers> gekko - nope, i'll give it a try
[06:41] <joshuapurcell> Recks: if you choose the re-install of GRUB, then after the step where it looks for OSes and re-installs grub you would quit the installation and reboot.
[06:41] <joshuapurcell> Recks: then GRUB would come up and allow you to choose the OSes it found
[06:41] <mister_roboto> dibblego: ntpdate will do that
[06:41] <Recks> okay
[06:41] <dibblego> mister_roboto, thanks
[06:41] <joshuapurcell> Recks: do you even get to the grub boot menu at startup from the hard drive?
[06:41] <Recks> yes
[06:42] <Recks> I see the menu come up
[06:42] <joshuapurcell> Recks: any options?
[06:42] <Recks> and than it gives me an error msg I should've wrote down
[06:42] <cadmasteradam> mr.robo:  k i'll try some variations on that
[06:42] <joshuapurcell> Recks: when you hit escape?
[06:42] <Recks> when I load into an OS
[06:42] <darth_gimp> sorry to be a pain.. but I do have a time limit here...
[06:42] <Recks> yea I believe so lol
[06:42] <joshuapurcell> Recks: you can hit escape when the menu comes up and see what it has for the OSes
[06:42] <Warbo> !mount
[06:42] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[06:42] <Recks> okay
[06:43] <joshuapurcell> Recks: you can also edit what it shows you, which could be a fast way to fix your problem if you can see a problem with what is listed
[06:43] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I go there.. I click enable and nothing happens
[06:43] <Recks> when I looked in the /boot/grub directory I didn't see the menu.lst file
[06:43] <mister_roboto> dibblego: look into ntp-server as well
[06:43] <Warbo> darth_gimp: I haven't used it productively myself. I do all of my mounting on the CLI, 'cos I'm an uber-geek :)
[06:43] <Recks> okay lol I'll try some of this stuff and see what happens...
[06:43] <Recks> lol
[06:43] <dibblego> mister_roboto, yeah does ntpdate work if the date is out by many hours?
[06:44] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I'm your Padawan... teach me?
[06:44] <Recks> (fd0)	/dev/fd0
[06:44] <Recks> (hd0)	/dev/sda
[06:44] <Recks> (hd1)	/dev/sdb
[06:44] <Recks> (hd2)	/dev/sdc
[06:44] <Recks> (hd3)	/dev/sdd
[06:44] <Recks> that's my device.map
[06:44] <Warbo> darth_gimp: "man mount"
[06:44] <joshuapurcell> Recks: you can always change what you see there and try booting... you would hit escape at the grub menu when booting from the hard drive, then arrow down to the line that represents that OS you want to boot from and hit e for edit
[06:44] <apeman2020> \
[06:44] <Recks> yea
[06:44] <darth_gimp> Warbo, Do I do that in term?
[06:44] <Recks> than what would I do after
[06:44] <Recks> because I tired that
[06:44] <Recks> and it just shot back to the same menu under the default item
[06:44] <dragonfyre13> I have a question about my nvidia drivers that is bugging me. I'm using nv now because my nvidia drivers fail due to a "mismatch" between the xorg driver and the installed one. xorg driver 7xxx and nvidia driver 86xx
[06:44] <mister_roboto> dibblego: offhand, i don't know
[06:44] <Recks> also my partitions are wierd
[06:44] <toysoldier`yairg> i was wondering which cd to download if i have windows installed and would like to dual boot
[06:44] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Yeah. Whenever running the actual mount command remember to use "sudo mount" to give it root permission
[06:45] <dragonfyre13> anywhere I can find a log file for xorg errors?
[06:45] <joshuapurcell> Recks: then you can change the root line numbers
[06:45] <Recks> it goes sdc1, sdc2 (extended), sdc5(swap)
[06:45] <joshuapurcell> Recks: here's my root line:     root            (hd0,0)
[06:45] <dibblego> I think the hardware clock is out by 10 hours
[06:45] <Recks> mine is root (hd2,0)
[06:45] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I'm in a root terminal
[06:45] <bimberi> toysoldier`yairg: either, both desktop and alternate have partition resizing capabilities
[06:45] <Warbo> dragonfyre13: Have you ever used the installer from the Nvidia website?
[06:45] <joshuapurcell> Recks: you could change the numbers in your line to something like (hd2,1) or something
[06:45] <dragonfyre13> toysoldier`yairg:  just download the general live CD. It has a nice installer on there that allows for dual boot if you use advanced partitioning.
[06:45] <joshuapurcell> Recks: the change is not permanent
[06:45] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Well that simplifies things :)
[06:45] <Recks> okay
[06:46] <joshuapurcell> Recks: only goes for your current boot
[06:46] <Recks> let me restart and see what I get
[06:46] <Recks> so after editing the line
[06:46] <Recks> would I just hit return
[06:46] <dragonfyre13> Warbo: yes. That's how I got into the situation.
[06:46] <Recks> and that would run the command?
[06:46] <toysoldier`yairg> dragonfyre13 i didnt see a live cd, just a general desktop and a alternative
[06:46] <darth_gimp> Warbo, the error I get is "error: device /dev/hdb1 is not removable"
[06:46] <searayman> can i have help with the package brightside?
[06:46] <joshuapurcell> Recks: when you hit escape then go to the root line, hit e, change it like you want, then hit escape, you would hit b for boot
[06:46] <Warbo> dragonfyre13: Make sure you run "sudo ./whatever-the-installer-is-called --uninstall" for the old one before installing a newer one
[06:46] <dragonfyre13> toysoldier`yairg: general desktop is the liveCD /install cd. It's a graphical install though. Nice new feature.
[06:46] <Recks> okay
[06:46] <joshuapurcell> Recks: it would either boot or not
[06:47] <Recks> I'll give it a try
[06:47] <joshuapurcell> Recks: then you would try something different
[06:47] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Is that right-click>eject on the device or something?
[06:47] <dragonfyre13> Warbo: any idea where I can find a log file for xorg?
[06:47] <Recks> wish me luck
[06:47] <Recks> so like (hd2,2)
[06:47] <searayman> i am having troubles with brightside package
[06:47] <Recks> and hd2,3 and so on
[06:47] <Recks> lol
[06:47] <Recks> ?
[06:47] <Warbo> dragonfyre13: /var/log/Xorg.0.log I think
[06:47] <toysoldier`yairg> dragonfyre13 ok i started my comp with it and it just had instal and start option i didnt see a dual boot but im assuming that comes later
[06:47] <joshuapurcell> Recks: depends on how many filesystems you have on that drive
[06:47] <dragonfyre13> Warbo:  I did, that's why I'm asking here is because I can't figure why it is doing it.
[06:47] <darth_gimp> Warbo, that's right click > mount
[06:47] <apeman2020> how can i install xserver / xwindows on my ubuntu server install?
[06:47] <dragonfyre13> Warbo: thanks.
[06:47] <kana> dragonfyre13: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:47] <joshuapurcell> Recks: if you have 3 filesystems then 2,2 may be it
[06:47] <Recks> the only thing I have on the drive is my root partition and the swap
[06:47] <dragonfyre13> toysoldier`yairg: yep, it comes later during the partitioning stage.
[06:47] <Ap0s7le> Hello everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu and have a video question.
[06:48] <joshuapurcell> Recks: 2,0  2,1  2,2
[06:48] <dragonfyre13> kana: thanks
[06:48] <Recks> okay lol I'll try dicking around with it
[06:48] <toysoldier`yairg> dragonfyre13 thanks
[06:48] <Recks> bbs (hopefully with a fixed problem)
[06:48] <toysoldier`yairg> ill be back when i screw up the install and need help :)
[06:48] <searayman> anyone ever try brightside?
[06:48] <Recks> joshuapurcell: thanks
[06:48] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Oh. Well I always have all sorts of problems with mounting graphically ("pmount" problems), so that's why I give up and use a temrinal. The only things which work automatically are USB drives and CDs
[06:48] <joshuapurcell> Recks you can also try choosing another OS from the grub menu to make sure something is working
[06:48] <searayman> brighside
[06:48] <joshuapurcell> Recks: np
[06:48] <searayman> brightside
[06:48] <Warbo> searayman: I used to use it
[06:48] <darth_gimp> Warbo, this manual is good but not making much sense
[06:49] <Warbo> searayman: Oh, and !repeat
[06:49] <searayman> Warbo: well when i type brightside into terminal it dosent open anythign
[06:49] <Ap0s7le> Anyone ever setup a video card with a componet out to a TV?
[06:49] <darth_gimp> Warbo, do I just do   mount /dev/hdb1  ??
[06:49] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Basically "sudo mount /dev/devicename /the/folder/you/want/to/mount/it/in" and everything else should be automatic
[06:49] <searayman> Warbo:  brightside wont open any settings for me to configure it
[06:50] <Warbo> darth_gimp: "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt" would put hdb1's files in /mnt
[06:50] <darth_gimp> Warbo, do I just do   mount /dev/hdb1 /Desktop   ??
[06:50] <Warbo> searayman: System>Preferences>Screen Actions
[06:50] <dibblego> sudo hwclock --set --date="7/31/06 14:51:00"
[06:50] <dibblego> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jul 31 00:49:28 2006
[06:50] <Snake> are ubuntu servers down again..
[06:50] <dibblego> how do I tell it not to care?
[06:51] <NickRivers> gekko`, ok... rebooted and xserver crashed with the error "Module nvidia not found.  Failed to load the nvidia kernel module"
[06:51] <Warbo> darth_gimp: 1) There is no "/Desktop" 2) There is a "/home/username/Desktop", but don't put stuff in non-empty folders. Make a folder on your desktop and mount it in there
[06:51] <Ap0s7le> Anyone ever setup a video card with a componet out to a TV?
[06:51] <darth_gimp> Warbo,  thanks
[06:51] <searayman> Warbo:  thanks
[06:51] <gekko`> NickRivers: did you try re-installing nvidia-glx?
[06:51] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Unmounting is done with "sudo umount /place/it/is/mounted", there is no "unmount" command
[06:52] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: yes... depends on the card though in how you do it
[06:52] <NickRivers> gekko`, yes
[06:52] <searayman> Warbo:  if i got this dose it mean brightside quite ?
[06:52] <gekko`> and do linux-restr.-mod. match your current kernel?
[06:52] <dragonfyre13> anybody know a way to boot into init 2
[06:52] <dragonfyre13> ?
[06:52] <searayman> warbo: mike@mike-desktop:~$ brightside
[06:52] <searayman> Daemon already running, exiting...
[06:52] <searayman> mike@mike-desktop:~$
[06:52] <Warbo> searayman: You will have to add it to your session startup (System>Preferences>Session) to run it when you log in
[06:52] <dragonfyre13> specifically so that it doesn't run the xserver?
[06:52] <searayman> war i dont know if its working
[06:52] <Warbo> searayman: It is already going apparently
[06:52] <searayman> warbo: dont know if its workign
[06:53] <dragonfyre13> never mind.
[06:53] <Warbo> searayman: Turn on desktop switching then move the mouse to the edge of the screen and see what happens
[06:53] <Warbo> searayman: It will be quite obvious if it is running :)
[06:53] <Ap0s7le> joshuapurcell, it's an old card with VGA, S-Video and Comp out
[06:53] <searayman> Warbo:  its not switching
[06:53] <searayman> Warbo:  how do i turn it on?
[06:53] <Warbo> searayman: Try "pidof brightside"
[06:54] <Warbo> searayman: Does anything happen?
[06:54] <searayman> Warbo: terminal returned a number
[06:54] <Warbo> searayman: Then it is running
[06:54] <searayman> why wont it switch lol
[06:54] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: i was looking for the package i got from the repos to get my s-video working on my radeon card... haven't found it just yet. is that what you are looking for?
[06:55] <searayman> Warbo:  why wont it switch?
[06:55] <Warbo> searayman: It will only switch if you tell it to in the Screen Actions dialog
[06:55] <darth_gimp> Warbo, now it says I do not have permission to view the folder
[06:55] <searayman> Warbo:  i did
[06:55] <Warbo> darth_gimp: What filesystem is it?
[06:55] <NickRivers> gekko`, I've got nvidiafb.ko in lib/modules/2.6.15-26/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia ... is that the kernel module?
[06:55] <joshuapurcell> dragonf: telinit 2
[06:55] <darth_gimp> Warbo, what do you mean?
[06:55] <Warbo> NickRivers: That has nothing to do with nvidia module
[06:55] <buddhalover> =-O The ubuntuforum seems to be down...
[06:55] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Is it FAT32, NTFS, ReiserFS, etc.?
[06:55] <Snake> Warbo: ubuntu servers are down again I think
[06:56] <Ap0s7le> joshuapurcell, I don't know what I'm looking for. The card is old, shows as this "S3 Inc. 86C410 Savage 2000"
[06:56] <Snake> Warbo: I cant apt-get anything on the us servers, I had to switch to UK
[06:56] <Recks> joshuapurcell: Oddly enough (hd0,0) worked....
[06:56] <joshuapurcell> Recks: nice
[06:56] <searayman> Warbo:  it wont switch i left my mouse on the edge forever
[06:56] <Recks> so how what would I edit to make the default?
[06:56] <darth_gimp> Warbo, well the HD is a WinXP drive...
[06:56] <Warbo> Ubuntu Forums work for me
[06:56] <joshuapurcell> Recks: once you are in the OS, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and find that same line and change it there
[06:56] <joshuapurcell> Recks: as root
[06:57] <Recks> okay
[06:57] <Recks> thanks
[06:57] <Warbo> darth_gimp: You will probably not be able to write to it then
[06:57] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: you need the savage drivers which should be installed by default in the latest Ubuntu version
[06:57] <darth_gimp> Warbo, Don't need to.. I want to get stuff off of it...
[06:57] <searayman> Warbo:  i just tested and the hot corners seem to work, but the screen edge wont switch it
[06:57] <Warbo> darth_gimp: But if you add "-o uid=yourusername" to your mount command you should at least be able to view it
[06:57] <Recks> joshuapurcell: Thank you tons of help, I would've never figured that out on my own!
[06:57] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: what driver does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file say you are using?
[06:57] <joshuapurcell> Recks: np
[06:58] <apeman2020> how can I edit my sources.list using command line
[06:58] <Warbo> darth_gimp: So "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /wherever -o uid=username"
[06:58] <Warbo> apeman2020: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:58] <Ap0s7le> Right now, I have a monitor hooked up to it and a TV. I don't need the Dual monitor thing, I just want the picture to show on my TV. When I turn the computer on, the picture of it booting up shows on the TV but when it actually goes to the Login screen the TV does a scan thing where it's like the resolution is wrong
[06:58] <joshuapurcell> apeman2020: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:58] <gekko`> NickRivers: that's not the right module
[06:59] <holotone> I know I'm going to sound like a moron here, but how do I get an iBook to boot to my Ubuntu 6.06 PPC disc?
[06:59] <Warbo> searayman: There is an option in the middle of the options window I think, you turn on edge flipping then set how long it takes (how long you need to hold the mouse at the edge of the screen)
[06:59] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, it says Driver          "savage"
[06:59] <Recks> what would the default password for root be?
[06:59] <holotone> This is the first time I've ever even touched a mac
[06:59] <Warbo> !sudoroot
[06:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about sudoroot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:59] <Warbo> !rootsudo
[06:59] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:59] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I'll give it a shot...
[06:59] <holotone> It didn't seem like there was anything like a bios that I could change the boot order in
[06:59] <Warbo> darth_gimp: It can only be mounted once, so umount it before trying to remount it
[06:59] <holotone> and when I boot, the disc spins up, but it boots to the OS, without anything in between.
[07:00] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: you can find out fast by typing this at the command line:
[07:00] <Warbo> holotone: Is it a PPC Mac?
[07:00] <wickers> clear
[07:00] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: more /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -A 2 'Section "Device"'
[07:00] <apeman2020> thanks warbo
[07:00] <gekko`> NickRivers: what does "lsmod | grep nv" say?
[07:00] <wickers> *wrong window*
[07:00] <Warbo> apeman2020: ctrl-X to quit (it will ask if you want to save)
[07:00] <apeman2020> any ideas on getting xwindows / xserver installed?
[07:00] <holotone> iBook
[07:00] <holotone> I think so
[07:00] <holotone> I thought they all were
[07:00] <searayman> Warbo:  i have it checkd and set to a short amount of time and it still dosent work
[07:01] <Warbo> "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg"
[07:01] <holotone> hell, shows you what I know
[07:01] <joshuapurcell> apeman2020: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:01] <NickRivers> gekko`, doesn't say anything
[07:01] <holotone> Warbo: I picked it up at a garage sale for $15, because the screen is all black
[07:01] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, this is what shows when typing that command... Section "Device"
[07:01] <Ap0s7le>         Identifier      "S3 Inc. 86C410 Savage 2000"
[07:01] <Ap0s7le>         Driver          "savage"
[07:01] <Warbo> searayman: You can only switch to a desktop which is "next to" the current one, eg. the desktop on the left can only switch to the right (unless you add more rows, or "wrap" them)
[07:01] <holotone> but I have it plugged in to my flat panel, so no worries for me
[07:01] <apeman2020> warbo couldnt find package!
[07:02] <holotone> How can I tell if a mac is a PPC?
[07:02] <searayman> Warbo:  but it isnt switching desktops at all
[07:02] <Warbo> holotone: How new is it?
[07:02] <Perseid0> Hi. I an't get MIDI to work. The Audigy's MIDI emu10k1 are listed, but when I play I get no audio.
[07:02] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: cool, that means the savage drivers are installed and you should have 3d working because of it. so you plug in an s-video cable and nothing comes out to the TV?
[07:02] <apeman2020> joshuapurcell_ no bang, cant find package
[07:02] <Warbo> !info timidity
[07:02] <ubotu> timidity: Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player). In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.13.2-7ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 532 kB, installed size 1704 kB
[07:02] <holotone> Warbo: The copyright on the body of the machine reads 2001
[07:02] <gekko`> NickRivers: does "modprobe nvidia" work?
[07:02] <holotone> let me find out more
[07:02] <holotone> just a sec
[07:02] <Warbo> holotone: Probably PPC then
[07:02] <dibblego> how do I set the timezone to GMT+10 (Brisbane)?
[07:02] <thompa> join #mepis
[07:02] <NickRivers> gekko`,  no... module not fund
[07:02] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: have you tried plugging the cable in and then rebooting with the laptop lid closed?
[07:02] <holotone> Warbo: The problem was, I can't get it to boot to a CD, and I couldn't find anything resembling a BIOS
[07:02] <NickRivers> gekko`,  no... module not found
[07:02] <thompa> sry
[07:03] <Recks> okay, so I need to edit the menu.lst file, how do I log in as root?
[07:03] <Recks> or how would I edit it?
[07:03] <gekko`> hm..then try nvidiafb
[07:03] <tehquickness> hello
[07:03] <Warbo> holotone: Macs don't use BIOS (Thank God)
[07:03] <searayman> Warbo:  i got it working by adding the thing to my gnome panel that shows what desktop ur on
[07:03] <joshuapurcell> apeman2020: sudo apt-get update may do the trick, but you may need to look at what repositories you have listed in you /etc/apt/sources.list file
[07:03] <holotone> Warbo: So how do I choose the boot order? How do I get a Mac to boot to an Ubuntu PPC install disk?
[07:03] <Warbo> searayman: Ah. Having more than one desktop is usually a good start if you want to switch between them :)
[07:03] <Perseid0> Timidity has pops in it and I can't get Rosegarden to use it. Can't Ubuntu actually use the MIDI ports?
[07:03] <apeman2020> joshuapurcell_ i uncommented all of the repositories
[07:03] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, I have a Composite video AND svideo... The TV shows the screen, but the picture is flipping over and over. And it isn't a laptop :)
[07:04] <Warbo> holotone: I have never used a Mac sorry. (But I hate BIOS)
[07:04] <Perseid0> Ap0s7le, that might be a PAL/NTSC mismatch. That's often why the screen flips.
[07:04] <tehquickness> what is wrong with bios?
[07:04] <holotone> Warbo:  Thanks for getting me startted on the rigth track
[07:04] <holotone> If anyone else has any idea how to get an iBook to boot to an Ubuntu install CD, please let me know
[07:04] <holotone> it's PPC edition, FWIW
[07:05] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, It looks exactly like when you're in windows and you set the Resolution wrong. The screen will start to Flip until it defaults back due to not Accepting the changes.
[07:05] <Recks> joshuapurcell: How would I go about editing the menu.lst file? It won't let me because it is owned by root
[07:06] <belzar> if i have a video clip off of a dvd, is it possible to use it on my site that i have on my computer?
[07:06] <joshuapurcell> Recks: use sudo first...  sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:06] <Warbo> belzar: Possible yes. Legal, maybe not :)
[07:06] <holotone> Power PC G3 iBook
[07:06] <Recks> okay
[07:06] <Recks> just set it so I can write it?
[07:07] <Warbo> Recks: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[07:07] <joshuapurcell> Recks: don't change the permissions... just use sudo and you will have root permissions on a one-time basis to edit the file
[07:07] <NickRivers> Recks, no... use sudo nano -w /file/name/here
[07:07] <Warbo> NickRivers: what does -w do?
[07:07] <palmers> any body can explain to me on how to get to shopadmin page?
[07:07] <belzar> warbo: hehe its legal, the dvd is just a video that was taken of me when i went on the skycoaster... it drops you 300 feet in a harness and bunjy cords... i just am curious as to how i would show it
[07:07] <palmers> or anybody with shopadmin injection?
[07:07] <joshuapurcell> Warbo: nowrap
[07:08] <palmers> ?
[07:08] <NickRivers> Warbo, disable wrapping of long lines
[07:08] <yairgo`> is anyone very familiar with the boot cd? after i insert it and change my vga option and then try to boot the status bar under the graphic never moves
[07:08] <Warbo> belzar: Probably rip the DVD to Theora or something, then use a video editor to cut it down, or just transcode it with a start and end time
[07:08] <Recks> okay so I edited how do I save?
[07:08] <Warbo> NickRivers: Ah! That's useful, I'll need to remember that :)
[07:08] <palmers> click on file in the oper place
[07:09] <Warbo> Recks: Ctrl-X (then Y to save)
[07:09] <joshuapurcell> later all... it's late where i'm at and i have work early in the morning
[07:09] <Recks> okay
[07:09] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, so there isn't anything I can change, resolution, refresh rate etc that could help my problem?
[07:09] <Recks> I think I did it!!
[07:09] <Recks> lol
[07:09] <joshuapurcell> Recks: np
[07:09] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: hmm....
[07:09] <Recks> joshuapurcell: thanks, and thank you to everyone else that helped ^_^
[07:10] <belzar> warbo: umm.. lost me, i copied it to the computer by just taking the folders off the dvd as files and put them on my computer... they work when i open them without the dvd in, but i am not sure how to get it to play on my site
[07:10] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: i think there is another package you can install like i mentioned before that specifically deals with s-video output
[07:10] <Recks> yay! lol
[07:10] <Warbo> belzar: Rip the DVD to a movie file
[07:10] <Recks> okay thanks guys
[07:10] <Recks> later!
[07:10] <Ap0s7le> Because it's doing the same thing as Windows does when the monitor resolution is wrong
[07:10] <Recks>  ^_^

[07:10] <yairgo`> is there something special that you ahve to do to boot from the live cd?  it doesnt seem to be working
[07:10] <Warbo> belzar: Then cut that movie file down
[07:10] <Ap0s7le> never heard of it, I'm new Joshua
[07:11] <belzar> warbo: i see... sorry to have to ask, but how do i do that?
[07:11] <spring> am i going to be sory for deleting all files in /var/cache/apt/archives
[07:11] <Ap0s7le> I'm not using the Svideo out anyhow, it's a RCA plug
[07:11] <NickRivers> spring, no
[07:11] <spring> NickRivers: ok thx
[07:11] <Warbo> belzar: Easiest option is probably to use VideoLAN client to save the stream to a file, then only watch selected bits. A more powerful way would be to tell mencoder a start and end time

[07:12] <KingBrad> i keep getting an error anytime anything asks for the root pw (such as adept) that says "su returned with an error" any idea how to fix this??
[07:12] <Ap0s7le> Ok, thank you for your time. Get some rest tonight Joshua.
[07:12] <Warbo> KingBrad: su shouldn't be used. Is that happening by default on GUIs? If so then it is a bug
[07:12] <Warbo> !sudo
[07:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:12] <jesspher> is there any program on ubuntu that can burn iso files?
[07:13] <jesspher> please help
[07:13] <Madpilot> KingBrad, it's not (be default) asking for a su pw, it's asking for your own pw
[07:13] <Warbo> !burn

[07:13] <KingBrad> its only happening in gui (kde)
[07:13] <Madpilot> jesspher, right-click on the ISO, choose "Burn To Disc". done
[07:13] <Warbo> KindBWell that was a clever thing to do, wasn't it?
[07:13] <jesspher> really
[07:13] <KingBrad> hehe
[07:13] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: look into s3switch definitely
[07:13] <Ap0s7le> Maybe I should just buy a new Video card?
[07:13] <KingBrad> ya i relized i screwd up after i did it
[07:13] <Madpilot> KingBrad, why are you adjusting permissions in root? That's not too smart...
[07:13] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: that's what it is... s3switch
[07:13] <KingBrad> Madpilot, i know this
[07:14] <KingBrad> can i chmod it back to orignal?
[07:14] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3switch
[07:14] <Ap0s7le> Thank you
[07:14] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/s3switch.8.html
[07:14] <Mercutio150> can someone point me in the direction to find help on backing up files
[07:15] <Warbo> KingBrad: You could maybe dpkg remove it with --force-depends then reinstall it
[07:15] <jbroome> man rsync
[07:15] <Madpilot> KingBrad, default seems to be 440 on sudoers
[07:15] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: i knew there was a package somewhere... couldn't remember the name. you should be able to get that from repos
[07:15] <KingBrad> k
[07:15] <Ap0s7le> awesome, thanks!
[07:15] <joshuapurcell> Ap0s7le: np
[07:15] <KingBrad> that seems to have fixed it
[07:15] <KingBrad> awsome that fixed it
[07:16] <KingBrad> thanks Madpilot
[07:16] <Mercutio150> can anyone even read me?
[07:16] <KingBrad> how hard is it to install video drivers for say an ATI mx440??
[07:16] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  yes
[07:17] <Mercutio150> so I can assume I am being ignored then?
[07:17] <minerale> I have changed my /etc/fstab file, how do I reload it so it ?
[07:18] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  overlooked is a better term...
[07:18] <jesspher> can anybody here recommend the best strategy game on their opinion
[07:18] <Mercutio150> ok then I am trying to find out what program I can use to do a back up onto multiple discs
[07:18] <yairgo`> so if i go to the check cd for defects part on the general cd and it doesnt do anythign does this mean my cd is messed up?
[07:19] <prophet> whats a good torrent client
[07:19] <Mercutio150> bit torrnado prophet
[07:19] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  backup onto multiple disks or from multiple disks? you mean a RAID array or just backing up to a remote disk?
[07:19] <kira1> I need some help
[07:19] <kira1> I'm VERY new to Ubuntu and I need some help installing Amule.
[07:19] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  the tar command is pretty much all you need to backup... unless backing up to a remote host (which you will then need rsh or ssh to connect)
[07:19] <Mercutio150> i mean I want to take some large files I have , about 20 gigs and put them on dvds
[07:20] <kira1> It says that I installed it, but how do I run the program now?
[07:20] <Mercutio150> so I cannot fit that onto one dvd
[07:20] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  you want to split them up onto multiple DVDs?
[07:20] <Mercutio150> yes
[07:20] <mcquaid> hello, i need to use vnc and was looking at tightvnc vs vnc4server  It says in the comments that vnc4server has an equally good incoding to tightvnc.
[07:21] <prophet> i did apt-get install but it cant find the package for bit otrrndo
[07:21] <mcquaid> Where is the actual site for the version of vnc4server provided in ubuntu?  It can't be realvnc, thats not gpl
[07:21] <prophet> why
[07:21] <mcquaid> oops sorry it is
[07:22] <Mercutio150> not sure prophet what release are you using?
[07:22] <prophet> release of what
[07:22] <kira1> Can anyone help me? :(
[07:22] <Mercutio150> Ubuntu
[07:22] <prophet> dapper
[07:22] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, what TV format should be card be set to?
[07:22] <Mercutio150> I tried looking through the wiki joshuapurcell
[07:22] <fadzly> guys, why is MidnightCommander not in the standard 6.06 package list?
[07:23] <Mercutio150> try updating to breezy or newer then prophet
[07:23] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  this script looks nice... it combines cpio and the ability to split the files into sizes that are manageable: http://www.bluehaze.com.au/unix/cdbkup.html
[07:23] <prophet> i cant use bit torrnado untill the,?
[07:24] <Mercutio150> thank you joshua
[07:24] <kira1> I just need to know how to run the program.  What do I type in the terminal
[07:24] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  haven't used it though truthfully... but it uses programs that are known to work well in the script
[07:24] <kira1> Once again, it's Amule.  I read the intructions but it didn't work
[07:24] <Mercutio150> that should work on debian base right joshua?
[07:24] <nicholaspaul> Can someone tell me how to load the Enlightenment menu? I tried 'reload' but dont get any applications in the menu.
[07:24] <kira1> what's the command to run programs?
[07:25] <kira1> Anyone? D=
[07:26] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  from briefly looking through that link i don't see anything that would cause a problem on Debian-based distros... the only distro it says it has a problem with is fedora core 4.
[07:26] <Mercutio150> ah I thought it was saying it was meant for fedora
[07:27] <Mercutio150> but that should break my file up into dvd sized chunks?
[07:27] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  the thing though is that i'm not positive the tools that script uses is installed by default in ubuntu... if not it would be available in the repos i'm sure... for instance cpio or fsplit
[07:27] <kira1> Is there even a command to "run" programs in Ubuntu? :P
[07:27] <wckdkl0wn> maybe someone here can help me with my problem in kubuntu
[07:27] <wckdkl0wn> ?
[07:27] <Ap0s7le> Joshua, it says my TV is set to Current TV format is NTSC-J
[07:28] <Mercutio150> thank you for your help joshua
[07:28] <kira1> Can you help me now? =D
[07:28] <wckdkl0wn> i will just post my problem and if someone could help then plz do lol
[07:29] <kana> kira1: what do you want to run
[07:29] <kira1> Amule
[07:29] <kira1> I instaled it and everything, but I don't know how to start it :S
[07:29] <joshuapurcell> Mercutio150:  there is a package in the repositories called backup2l... haven't used that either but it says it is good at backing up and splitting files to fit on removeable media (from the description)
[07:29] <kana> kira1: it is under applications > internet
[07:29] <wckdkl0wn> i was messing around with system settings - display earlier to try and get my output to clone onto my tv through svid and now i get an error when opening it and i dont have video playback on my monitor
[07:29] <jesspher> does anybody know any program in ubuntu that can open pdf files
[07:29] <wckdkl0wn> it says an error occured during your last kde upgrade leaving an orphan module...... and you have old third party modules lying around
[07:29] <kira1> Yeah, I checked there but it isn't there.
[07:29] <jbroome> !pdf
[07:29] <ubotu> pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/KPDF/gpdf, adobe reader (free download, but closed source)
[07:29] <wckdkl0wn> the module display could not be loaded
[07:29] <kana> kira1: or just type amule in a terminal
[07:29] <kira1> Did that too
[07:30] <kana> kira1: then it is not installed
[07:30] <kira1> amule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:30] <Mercutio150> thanks again joshua
[07:30] <kana> kira1: how did you install amule
[07:30] <Mercutio150> thsat seems to be more of what I am looking for
[07:30] <kira1> I double clicked it and clicked install
[07:30] <Warbo> What about Evince?
[07:30] <Warbo> (for PDF)
[07:31] <kira1> It opened in package installer
[07:31] <kana> kira1: seems it did not install properly
[07:31] <kana> try reinstalling
[07:31] <Warbo> kira1: Why not use Ubutnu's Amule?
[07:31] <mcquaid> is there considered to be a preference for tightvnc vs realvnc? or does real pretty much have what tightvnc has now?
[07:31] <kira1> I am
[07:31] <Warbo> kira1: "sudo apt-get install amule"?
[07:32] <kira1> amule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:32] <effibae> hi all, can i ask about network configging here?  trying to set up a firewall
[07:32] <kana> Warbo: it is already installed
[07:32] <kira1> ok, I did that right now
[07:32] <Warbo> kira1: Just that "I double clicked it and clicked install" doesn't seem to be installing Ubutnu's one, and Ubuntu's one is known to work in Ubuntu
[07:32] <kira1> Reading package lists... Done
[07:32] <kira1> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:32] <kira1> amule is already the newest version.
[07:32] <kira1> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 128 not upgraded.
[07:33] <kira1> Can someone give me the proper link to it?
[07:33] <Warbo> kira1: Well if you installed a Deb called "amule" it is bound to say that
[07:33] <kira1> I think I got the correct one
[07:33] <kira1> Yeah, I know, but now what?
[07:33] <kana> Warbo: i think she /he used the application installed that comes with ubuntu
[07:33] <Warbo> kira1: "sudo apt-get remove amule && sudo apt-get install amule"
[07:34] <effibae> on my firewall, i can browse the web, but i can't get dhcpd to hand out addresses. when i give an internal machine a static ip address (<IP_ADDRESS>) it still can't ping my firweall
[07:35] <kira1> Thanks Warbo
[07:35] <kira1> It worked. =D
[07:35] <Warbo> !apt > kira1
[07:36] <kira1> ?
[07:36] <Warbo> It's suprising the ignorance to do with package management.
[07:36] <kira1> !apt > kira1 ?
[07:36] <Warbo> !apt
[07:36] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[07:38] <Warbo> There was a story about GNU/Linux asking for users' comments. Someone said that repositories are bad because they don't contain everything, and external packages break the system then said "what would be good is if programs were in downloadable packages with meta-data which says which packages it needs from the repository"..... Erm, like a package manager maybe? :)
[07:38] <kira1> Now I just gotta figure out how to connect. =P
[07:38] <Warbo> kira1: You need a server.met (I think) file
[07:38] <Warbo> kira1: Also check out
[07:38] <darth_gimp> Warbo, you rock man!
[07:38] <Warbo> !info mldonkey-server

[07:39] <kana> i bet those users did not use apt :)
[07:39] <Warbo> kana: Well, RPM was mentioned, but it's basically the same idea
[07:39] <darth_gimp> Warbo, ok so now.. how can I make this drive more accessible with Ubuntu?
[07:39] <kana> Warbo: apt is much suprior i used both by the way
[07:39] <Warbo> darth_gimp: How do you mean
[07:40] <Warbo> kana: I think it is too, but installing an external RPM will still get the needed packages (and don't forget apt4RPM :) )
[07:40] <kana> Warbo: try to upgrade your distro in an rpm based distro :)
[07:40] <darth_gimp> Warbo, like can format the drive and use it to store files or swap memory for GiMP and Blender.. that sort of thing.
[07:40] <Warbo> !mount
[07:40] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[07:40] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Unmount it and use GParted, then put it in !fstab
[07:41] <darth_gimp> Warbo, GParted?
[07:41] <Warbo> !gparted
[07:41] <ubotu> gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[07:41] <Warbo> !fstab
[07:41] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[07:41] <darth_gimp> !fstab
[07:41] <darth_gimp> Warbo, !fstab ?
[07:42] <Warbo> darth_gimp: ^^
[07:42] <userundefine> can't imagine this channel without ubotu
[07:42] <darth_gimp> Warbo, thanks..
[07:42] <prophet> why is a torrent Stalled in K Torrent?
[07:42] <userundefine> prophet, are there seeders?
[07:42] <darth_gimp> Warbo, so.. I can then set up folders there and access them as usual?
[07:42] <prophet> many
[07:43] <userundefine> prophet, you connected to any peers?
[07:43] <prophet> no
[07:43] <Warbo> darth_gimp: If you format it using GParted and/or /sbin/mkfs then mount it somewhere and add it to /etc/fstab to be mounted automatically, then yes
[07:43] <prophet> its trying
[07:44] <snoops> prophet stop it, then start it
[07:44] <prophet> k
[07:45] <userundefine> prophet, maybe you're firewalled or the port(s) are otherwise blocked
[07:45] <Dravas> I'v just noticed that You only need a Serial to run teh Virtual PC in WMWare workstation and not make on
[07:45] <Dravas> and VMware player doesnt need a serial to use
[07:45] <Dravas> lol
[07:45] <Dravas> LOL
[07:46] <Dravas> I win
[07:46] <snoops> it hasn't needed a serial for a long time
[07:46] <Warbo> !portforward
[07:46] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[07:46] <tehquickness> draves: you can use qemu too
[07:46] <tehquickness> draves: it is very simple, that is what i do
[07:47] <prophet> how can i unblock it
[07:47] <noiesmo> !firestarter
[07:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[07:48] <darth_gimp> Warbo, is gparted a terminal thing?
[07:48] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Nope
[07:48] <userundefine> prophet, read what ubotu just said for port forwarding
[07:48] <Warbo> darth_gimp: G=GNOME
[07:48] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I did the apt get.. but cannot find it...
[07:48] <Warbo> darth_gimp: System>Admin
[07:48] <darth_gimp> Not on the menus anyways
[07:49] <darth_gimp> Warbo, there should be a Warbo.com !
[07:49] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Warbo.org
[07:49] <Warbo> But I'm a cheap-ass!
[07:49] <tehquickness> I have a quick question, In my places menu, there is a new item called bookmarks and when I expand it, it gives me a list of all the folders in the / directory anyone  know what could be causing this or how to fix it?
[07:49] <darth_gimp> Warbo, ok so will Gparted remove any partitions as well?
[07:50] <Warbo> darth_gimp: There is a geocities.yahoo.com/niceandrandom
[07:50] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Depends what you tell it. It will not change any partitions which are mounted
[07:51] <darth_gimp> Warbo, ok... I've never used Gparted... can you walk me through the woods here?
[07:52] <ruxpin> is there a way to apt-get install something even though the filesizes no not match? apt-build install firefox broke some dependencies, and now I can't use apt-get anymore :/
[07:52] <Warbo> darth_gimp: It will show your partitions. Select one you want to get rid of, and tell it to remove it. Apply the changes, then in the space make some new ext3 partitions
[07:52] <darth_gimp> Warbo, what I would like is a nice clean drive with no partions on it for which to use to keep stuff and set Gimp directories too... that sort of thing...
[07:53] <booger> hey all
[07:53] <Widden> Hi im trying to follow this threat [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32015]  but dunno hot to configure xorg.conf from terminal
[07:53] <Warbo> Widden: Don't threaten us :)
[07:54] <ku> lol
[07:54] <booger> can someone please tell me how to get rid of the black outline animation when that happens when i minimize a window
[07:54] <Warbo> Widden: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:54] <elkbuntu> darth_gimp, the drive will require at least one paritition. it will just need to be one that takes up the entire drive size
[07:54] <Widden> Warbo, thanx!
[07:54] <tehquickness>  I have a quick question, In my places menu, there is a new item called bookmarks and when I expand it, it gives me a list of all the folders in the / directory anyone  know what could be causing this or how to fix it?
[07:54] <darth_gimp> Warbo, ok now I have 462 unallocated ?
[07:55] <Xaero_Vincent> hello I have a problem with the Ogle DVD player.
[07:55] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Just make one big partition (ext3) over the drive you want to store stuff on, then apply
[07:55] <Xaero_Vincent> I cannot get audio to work
[07:56] <CyDriv1> is there anyway to get like a windows media player plugin or real player plugin for firefox?
[07:56] <Warbo> !info realplay
[07:56] <ubotu> Package realplay does not exist in dapper
[07:56] <Warbo> !info mozila-mplayer

[07:56] <darth_gimp> Warbo, looks like its done.. so what's next?
[07:56] <booger> can someone please tell me how to get rid of the black outline animation when that happens when i minimize a window
[07:57] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Exit GParted and go in System>Admin>Disks and try to mount the partition from there. If not, use mount command like before
[07:58] <darth_gimp> Warbo, should it be formatted as well?
[07:59] <NickRivers> whew... managed to get invidia working... had the wrong linux-restricted modules installed :\ lol
[07:59] <NickRivers> err... *nvidia
[07:59] <Warbo> darth_gimp: I think GParted formats it (should be ext3). If not "sudo mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/device" will format /dev/device as ext3
[07:59] <Warbo> NickRivers: There is a problem with nvidia-glx dependencies, but I can't report a bug since the package is not on Launchpad :(
[08:00] <darth_gimp> Warbo, disks manager will do it as well, except I am not certian what the access path should be ... it says /boot
[08:00] <NickRivers> Warbo: dunno anything about that - just know I fixed it lol
[08:00] <Warbo> darth_gimp: Make it wherever you want. For example I keep files in a folder called /home/chris/Files
[08:04] <yairgo`> what is the difference between install in text mode and install in oem mode?
[08:05] <Warbo> yairgo`: OEMs are people who preinstall computers for selling to people. OEM install will not ask any questions like username, so then it can be sold and the user can set it up themself
[08:06] <darth_gimp> Warbo, I got this error when using "mount"

[08:06] <Warbo> !pastebin
[08:06] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
