[06:45] <frozeneskimo> hey guys, what's a common network throughput measuring program? i want to measure the throughput between two systems connected over an ethernet crossover
[06:45] <ant> tritium : sorry i meant eV64
[06:45] <daaku> eV64: all of it - if i'm playing music, it skips sound - mouse stops responding sometimes, the seconds hand in my clock skips a second sometimes
[06:45] <tritium> ant: ;)
[06:45] <ant> its almost sudo sleep -h time
[06:46] <donkeegan> hi
[06:46] <whacky98> i need some help from someone
[06:46] <eV64> ant, i dont think so (unless i'm really confused as to what i'm trying to do) but thanks :)
[06:46] <whacky98> anyone have a sec
[06:46] <eV64> !ask
[06:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:46] <rollerce> am I gonna blow up ubuntu if I force it to make a certain mac address to be my wlan0?
[06:47] <whacky98> Ok, I have samba setup on ubuntu.  I can access my ubuntu share but on my ubuntu I can not access my windows shares

[06:48] <whacky98> I have setup a user on my windows box with a password.  I try and just get the screen asking for my login info again
[06:48] <eV64> ant, not init, identd the thing that identifies you so you dont get errors when logging on irc
[06:49] <whacky98> anyone?
[06:49] <ant> eV64 : i keep reading things wrong, i gotta get some sleep
[06:49] <eV64> whacky98, what are the share/ access permissions on the files on the windows box? sometimes it helps to create a new user with no password and use that user's name to login
[06:49] <ant> :X
[06:49] <eV64> ant, sleep is for the weak!
[06:49] <whacky98> i tried my admin user which has no password and same issue
[06:49] <eV64> set a password
[06:49] <whacky98> not sure if I have to set anything up on samba via the console
[06:49] <eV64> really
[06:50] <SilverRavage> eV64: iam trying the legacy drivers even though it shouldnt be.
[06:50] <whacky98> I have a admin user with a password and it fails
[06:50] <eV64> SilverRavage, try the ubuntu forum
[06:50] <Romexios> how to give a user permission to run bg jobs?
[06:50] <SilverRavage> thos are to slow to get responese hehe
[06:50] <eV64> SilverRavage, or come back later, someone may be here who has installed nvidia bin drivers
[06:50] <whacky98> Everything works great except this
[06:50] <X86echo> i needed that
[06:51] <whacky98> Any ideas?
[06:51] <eV64> whacky98, if it is win xp pro, go to tools, folder options, disable simple file sharing
[06:51] <whacky98> it is windows vista ultimate
[06:51] <eV64> add everyone as a user to share and read/write/edit
[06:51] <rbellamy> what's the recommended 802.11n card?
[06:51] <whacky98> Simple file sharing is disabled.
[06:51] <eV64> can you access the share from another windows computer?
[06:51] <brianb> kind of a newbie question here: I'm seeing errors after updating packages on Feisty (on a fresh install of beta 5), relating to "vim-tiny", specifically "unable to stat `./usr/bin/vim.tiny' (which I was about to install): Input/output error" - this is with vim-tiny_1%3a7.0-164+1ubuntu7_i386.deb.  Anyone else seen the same thing?
[06:52] <whacky98> yes, and from my mac as well as my xbox 360
[06:52] <eV64> hmm
[06:52] <whacky98> just not from ubuntu
[06:52] <eV64> !windows | whacky98

[06:52] <brianb> seems like the .deb might be corrupted, but I've re-downloaded it a couple of times
[06:52] <eV64> whacky98, i honestly don't know then
[06:52] <eV64> brianb, look in channel #ubuntu+1
[06:53] <donkeegan> help : my synaptic is not working ,  the error i  get is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11613/
[06:53] <brianb> thanks eV64
[06:53] <whacky98> I looked online other ppl have the issue with other linux says something about setting up the user and password in samba but alot of the commands they have do not work for me on ubuntu
[06:53] <mbb> is there an archive of planet.ubuntu? Lots of cool info there, but it scrolls away in a couple days...
[06:53] <jlowell> hey folks, problem installed ubuntu on my laptop but it only boots into gnome or anything but a black screen if I add vga=771 to grub boot line...
[06:53] <eV64> whacky98, are you using sudo?
[06:53] <whacky98> yes
[06:53] <ant> !samba | whacky98
[06:53] <ubotu> whacky98: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:54] <whacky98> I installed Swat but was not sure how to access it
[06:54] <eV64> donkeegan, it looks like google may help with your error, one sec
[06:54] <eV64> donkeegan, http://valery.bgit.net/blog-en/2006/11/13/apt-get-e-dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room/
[06:54] <ant> whacky98 : did you read the wiki?
[06:55] <ant> or the other link
[06:55] <donkeegan> thanks let me check and get back eV64
[06:55] <eV64> donkeegan, good luck
[06:56] <rbellamy> is there a recommended 802.11n card?
[06:56] <jlowell> can anyone help me with the problem i just posted above?
[06:56] <whacky98> sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[06:56] <SilverRavage> Hey my beryl icon shows at the top
[06:56] <SilverRavage> but it doesnt seem like its working
[06:56] <whacky98> oops sorry wrong window
[06:57] <SilverRavage> no wobble windows
[06:57] <eV64> rbellamy, isn;t n still in draft?
[06:57] <rbellamy> hells yeah...
[06:57] <Moosejaw> how can i get azureus associated with torrent files?
[06:57] <ant> if i wanted wobbly windows i'd run WinME
[06:57] <rbellamy> but both D-Link and Linksys have APs for it
[06:57] <clearzen> SilverRavage: The fallback window isn't beryl. You need to add configuration to your xorg file more than likely. Or just sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[06:58] <clearzen> SilverRavage: If it is a nvidia card anyway

[06:59] <jlowell> hey folks, problem installed ubuntu on my laptop but it only boots into gnome or anything but a black screen if I add vga=771 to grub boot line...
[06:59] <eV64> dont add that to the boot line....
[06:59] <eV64> ?
[07:00] <clearzen> SilverRavage: You do not need to restart your system. /etc/init.d/gdm stop && /etc/init.d/gdm start should work
[07:00] <clearzen> or just /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:00] <jlowell> eV64: if I dont I just get a black screen after boot
[07:00] <rbellamy> eV64: yeppers... i finally entered a good search string to get me there...
[07:00] <eV64> then why don't you just leave that line in grub?
[07:00] <rbellamy> eV64: thanks for the pointer
[07:00] <eV64> rbellamy, no problem
[07:00] <jlowell> eV64: because it makes my screen look bad

[07:05] <eV64> jlowell, ask again later
[07:05] <jlowell> ok
[07:05] <eV64> jlowell, also try the forum
[07:06] <Firefishe> cafuego_: not supporting 4gb for a 2 grand plus machine is just silly..I think I shall wait a few months
[07:06] <eV64> Firefishe, what do you need 4gb ram for on a laptop?
[07:06] <coffeegrindah> is there any way to find out WHY a usb flash drive wont let me format it to ext2?
[07:06] <cafuego_> Firefishe: Hmm, the pros might actually, the normal macbooks don't afaik
[07:07] <beg1689> $2000? it should include 3gb of ram
[07:07] <beg1689> 4gb*

[07:08] <beg1689> windows xp runs greate in vmware, even has 3d accel (only for direct3d)

[07:08] <eV64> !defrag
[07:08] <tritium> cool
[07:08] <ubotu> defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[07:08] <ferronica> Dasnipa: you in ubuntu no need to defrag. ???
[07:08] <Firefishe> defrag ubuntu???
[07:09] <eV64> ;)

[07:10] <dylock> it took me almost 2 weeks to get my sound working last time
[07:10] <tritium> dylock: nvidia video driver?
[07:10] <eV64> tritium, huh?
[07:10] <dylock> yea
[07:10] <tritium> eV64: silly reference to Spinal Tap

[07:11] <tritium> dylock: that sounds highly improbable
[07:11] <coffeegrindah> I've somehow lost the ability to format my usb drive o ext2 or ext3, reiserfs seems to work and so "does" fat 16/32, why not ext2??
[07:12] <eV64> tritium, looked it up. LOL
[07:12] <dylock> tritium: it might have to do with the xorg.conf getting rewritten
[07:12] <tritium> dylock: that has nothing to do with sound
[07:12] <Owner_> can someone test this site, is it up or down? http://office.homefrontus.com/windows/
[07:12] <dylock> but i dunno, all i know is my sound no longer works
[07:12] <Firefishe> dylock: sometimes you can use alsaconf to correct sound card issues
[07:12] <tritium> eV64: ;)
[07:12] <eV64> steven_home, works for me
[07:13] <steven_home> eV64, thanks
[07:13] <eV64> steven_home, sure.
[07:13] <dylock> hmm i dont seem to have alsaconf
[07:13] <coffeegrindah> is there any way to find out WHY a usb flash drive wont let me format it to ext2?
[07:13] <eV64> coffeegrindah, error logs?
[07:13] <Firefishe> dylock: you can always download alsacaonf
[07:13] <Firefishe> alsaconf..
[07:14] <Firefishe> are you using alsa?
[07:14] <dylock> i believe so
[07:14] <coffeegrindah> eV64no errors.. that I can see
[07:14] <Firefishe> I'd download alsaconf in the usual fashion...using Synaptic
[07:15] <dylock> hmm is it contained in a certain package, no hits come up for alsaconf
[07:15] <Firefishe> probably
[07:15] <Firefishe> dylock: do a search for alsa
[07:15] <Firefishe> I think it's alsa-utils or something like that
[07:15] <eV64> coffeegrindah, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/basics.html
[07:15] <billy> greetings.
[07:16] <Firefishe> dylock: you run alsaconf as root from a separate login window before you log in to X (that's how I do it, and it gives me less problems)
[07:16] <keegan> help : ive downloaded some mpeg files and avi files , when i write them on a cd they dont play on my DVD player. How do i convert them to dat format or any alternative
[07:16] <eV64> hello fellow billy
[07:16] <Firefishe> it'll do a search of your system and detect cards, configure them (default responses are usually okay), then they *should/might* work ;)
[07:16] <eV64> keegan, depends what formats your dvd player can play.
[07:16] <billy> greetings earth_creature
[07:17] <eV64> i'm billy too... nevermind
[07:17] <keegan> it can play dat format
[07:17] <billy> bet you're not billy wayne.
[07:17] <keegan> but  i cant find a converter for avi or mpeg to dat
[07:17] <dylock> hmmm

[07:25] <Firefishe> dylock: have you tried setting volume controls?
[07:25] <dylock> yea
[07:25] <coffeegrindah> eV64: I know, I've written one of them..
[07:25] <titun> it says 6.06 will be supported till 2009
[07:25] <dylock> ive pretty much made sure they were all on and maxed
[07:26] <eV64> right. it's lts (not the newest features but more stable)
[07:26] <kevmendoza> Hola
[07:26] <billy> titus:  6.06 would be a good choice.
[07:26] <titun> but the latest is 6.10 will be supported till only 2008, why so
[07:26] <kevmendoza> alguien habla espaol aca?
[07:26] <Madpilot> ubotu, es | kevmendoza
[07:26] <ubotu> kevmendoza: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:26] <eV64> get 6.10
[07:26] <coffeegrindah> eV64, it litterally just won't format if i use the full space on disk. if i say cut in half or only use 1 of the 4gb as exft2 I'm fine.
[07:26] <titun> billy: why this latest vesrion won't be supported much
[07:26] <eV64> not more stable but supported longer, mainly for enterprise users
[07:27] <Firefishe> dylock:  hmmm...have you tried rebooting the x server?
[07:27] <eV64> leave 1mb unused?
[07:27] <dylock> and X has nothing to do with controlling sound correct?
[07:27] <dylock> i can try rebooting
[07:27] <Firefishe> dylock:  sometimes x will do weird things.
[07:27] <Firefishe> what kind of a system are you running it on?
[07:27] <kevmendoza> Hola
[07:27] <eV64> titun, you can still upgrade 6.10.
[07:27] <dylock> a dell
[07:27] <kevmendoza> alguien habla espaol aca?
[07:27] <Firefishe> dylock: x can affect many things on occasion
[07:28] <Firefishe> laptop?
[07:28] <dylock> pc
[07:28] <eV64> titun, unless you are running a mission critical server, use 6.10
[07:28] <dylock> dimension 4600
[07:28] <kevmendoza> :s
[07:28] <Firefishe> so sound is supported through the kernel then?

[07:28] <coffeegrindah> basically i can partition it 1GB fat32, 1GB ext2, 2GB fat 32, and the drive works in linux, though the second fat 32 partition cannot be read by windows
[07:28] <dylock> it should b
[07:28] <titun> eV64: I plan to completely replace XP

[07:28] <Madpilot> kevmendoza, #ubuntu-es
[07:28] <eV64> titun, are you running server applications? or normal desktop use?
[07:28] <titun> eV64: will use for c++ programming and net browsing
[07:29] <Firefishe> dylock: linux modules can be touchy at times
[07:29] <titun> only that much as of now
[07:29] <jetscreamer> partition it in windows then
[07:29] <billy> titun:  6.06 is long term supported to make it more attractive to certain users.  Most folks ride the wave of the new releases.  7.04 is will out soon.
[07:29] <kevmendoza> Madpilot.. como hago para entrar en esa sala? soy completamente nuevo con UBUNTU
[07:29] <dylock> Firefishe: how would i check to see if any modules were effected?
[07:29] <Firefishe> dylock: a quick and dirty fix would be to download and install everything with alsa in the title ;)
[07:29] <eV64> titun, get 6.10.  you can keep upgrading as new versions come out.  feisty will be out next month actually

[07:29] <dylock> haha yea i could try that
[07:29] <Firefishe> dylock: I still think alsaconf should be there
[07:30] <jetscreamer> kevmendoza: /join #ubuntu-es
[07:30] <dylock> ill reinstall the ones i have currently installed
[07:30] <Firefishe> just read the package listings carefully
[07:30] <titun> eV64: so i can upgrade to 7.4 from 6.10 easily, i mean right from 6.10 desktop ??
[07:31] <gnu-linux> anyone here have experience with irssii?
[07:31] <titun> eV64: one thing more, I have heard there is no root user password for ubuntu
[07:31] <cafuego_> irssi? Yes
[07:31] <eV64> titun, ideally
[07:31] <jetscreamer> alsa-utils: usr/sbin/alsaconf
[07:31] <titun> so how do work as root user
[07:31] <Madpilot> titun, with sudo
[07:31] <Madpilot> ubotu, sudo | titun
[07:31] <eV64> !sudo
[07:31] <ubotu> titun: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:31] <titun> I have used fedora a little
[07:31] <gnu-linux> cafuego how can i configure my irssi to chat on ubuntu serve?
[07:32] <Firefishe> jetscreamer: you just gave me an idea...
[07:32] <titun> and while installing ubuntu will it ask me to register a root password or not ?
[07:32] <krzysiek> 541049
[07:32] <tritium> not
[07:32] <Firefishe> dylock: you need to do "su alsaconf" for it to work
[07:32] <billy> titun: yes.
[07:32] <cafuego_> gnu-linux: Hold on
[07:32] <gnu-linux> cafuego_ok
[07:33] <tritium> billy: it will not
[07:33] <dylock> ok ill try, all alsa packages are reinstalled
[07:33] <eV64> gnu-linux, read the irssi documentation.  join server irc.freenode.net
[07:33] <Madpilot> titun, no, Ubuntu doesn't use a seperate root password - read the RootSudo URL the bot gave you
[07:33] <billy> tritium: that's when i established *my* super user password.
[07:33] <Firefishe> I have to go...good luck to you dylock.  jetscreamer, eV64, cafuego_:  thanks for the assistance :)
[07:33] <Firefishe> be well
[07:33] <dylock> Firefishe: still doesn't exist
[07:33] <diyerxa> Has anyone tried running SaX2 on Ubuntu?
[07:33] <dylock> alright thanks for your help Firefishe
[07:33] <titun> Madpilot: reading...
[07:33] <eV64> Firefishe, bye
[07:33] <Firefishe> dylock:  if alsa-utils package is installed, try /usr/bin/alsaconf directly
[07:34] <tritium> billy: no, I don't think you did
[07:34] <Firefishe> gotta scram though...sorry to help and run...wife needs to get out of ciggie smoke place :) ;) hee

[07:35] <Madpilot> BrylieSupybot, are you a bot?
[07:35] <cafuego_> gnu-linux: I was going to pastebim some info, but pastebim is busted
[07:35] <BrylieSupybot> Madpilot: Error: "are" is not a valid command.
[07:35] <cafuego_> !test
[07:35] <eV64> Darkkish, can you listen to it while it's charging in windows?
[07:35] <ubotu> Failed.
[07:35] <gnu-linux> cafuego_ok

[07:36] <Darkkish> eV64, and iyou can listen while its charging
[07:36] <billy> tritium: i'm slow.
[07:36] <gnu-linux> cafuego_ that website i sent to me doesn't work
[07:36] <tritium> billy: no worries, buddy :)
[07:36] <Darkkish> eV64, tried that in linux but its still in dev... its not workign right
[07:36] <eV64> Darkkish, man umount

[07:36] <brylie> Madpilot: yea i just installed it
[07:36] <cafuego_> gnu-linux: You need to add some stuff to ~/.irssi/config, so it autoconnects at startup.

[07:43] <tritium> titun: read the wiki page ubotu told you about
[07:43] <coffeegrindah> I can't get this damn usb drive to format
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> titun, I know just the thing, one sec...

[07:45] <Zorkmid25> youre all fags
[07:45] <jetscreamer> kinda http://gimp.org/tutorials/Advanced_Animations/
[07:45] <titun> my question is : ubuntu will not ask for a root password to register while installing
[07:45] <titun> so any user can use sudo to be root
[07:45] <BHSPitMonkey> That's quicker troll extinguishing than I'm used to seeing.
[07:45] <GigaClon> no
[07:45] <BHSPitMonkey> titun, not -any- user...
[07:45] <tritium> titun: no, only users in the admin group
[07:45] <GigaClon> only the installing user can sudo
[07:46] <BHSPitMonkey> titun, a user has to have the ability to use sudo enabled.
[07:46] <Madpilot> titun, no it won't, but no, only the first user created can sudo by default
[07:46] <GigaClon> also sudo commands are logged
[07:46] <titun> Oh, understood now
[07:46] <GigaClon> root commands are not

[07:53] <eV64> sure
[07:54] <Ayabara2> anyone have a good alternative to amarok? I have a problem with amarok crashing my computer when I build my collection :-(
[07:54] <mirra> anyone have any idea how to remove the link from links_weblink.module when viewing a full node
[07:54] <mirra> from the bottom links
[07:54] <mirra> (like comments)
[07:55] <mneptok> Ayabara2: Rhythmbox? Banshee? Quod Libet?
[07:56] <Madpilot> Ayabara, muine?
[07:56] <Ayabara2> mneptok, Madpilot, thanks. never heard of muine and quod libet :-)
[07:56] <Jrabbit> I'm having issures runing Xchat under XGL+Beryl 3.0
[07:56] <Jrabbit> *0.3
[07:56] <mneptok> Ayabara2: how big is the collection?
[07:57] <Jrabbit> Xchat-gnome only runs under 'sudo xchat-gnome'
[07:57] <cafuego_> Jrabbit: #ubuntu-effects
[07:57] <cafuego_> Or don't run beryl, it's rubbish
[07:57] <mneptok> Ayabara2: Songbird is coming along nicely, but it's unhappy adding my 36K .mp3 collection from an NFS share.
[07:57] <shane634> well not rubbish so much as beta
[07:58] <Ayabara2> mneptok, <20GB. noone at #amarok could help me. I have tried different databases, but my computer always crashes. has happened in edgy, dapper and breezy :-/
[07:58] <Ayabara2> kinda scary, actually
[07:58] <mneptok> Ayabara2: look at Songbird, too
[07:58] <shane634> Ayabara, you have to add to amarok slowly not all at once
[07:58] <Jrabbit> Songbird isnot stable
[07:58] <Jrabbit> Not on linux
[07:58] <Ayabara2> shane634, I've trid that to, but it didn't help
[07:59] <dylock> hmm what tv channel usually accepts s-video
[07:59] <dylock> cv1?
[07:59] <shane634> Ayabara, hmm
[07:59] <mneptok> Jrabbit: it worked fine for me except for importing
[07:59] <Madpilot> I've got 50+Gb of music, muine never has trouble
[07:59] <Jrabbit> heh
[07:59] <Jrabbit> Its lacking in an equalizer too
[07:59] <Ayabara2> shane634, I know. the people in the amarok channel gave me up in the end :-/
[07:59] <Jrabbit> I use amarok with 4000+ songs so it should work.
[07:59] <mneptok> Madpilot: 50 gigabits of mp3s?! whoa.  :P
[08:00] <shane634> Ayabara, i don't have the answer but someone here does
[08:00] <Madpilot> mneptok, mostly ogg, some flac - the flac account for most of the Gb, of course...
[08:00] <Jrabbit> muine?
[08:00] <gnu-linux> anyone know how can i join a channel throught irssi?
[08:00] <mneptok> Madpilot: i think you mean GB. ;)
[08:00] <Jrabbit>  /j
[08:00] <Ayabara2> what I need from my player an equalizer and a decent music library
[08:00] <Jrabbit>  /j #chan
[08:00] <Ayabara2> plus extreme coolness of course
[08:00] <Madpilot> mneptok, yes, I did... I always forget that "Gb" means something too
[08:00] <mneptok> Ayabara2: Rhythmbox treats me right.
[08:01] <mneptok> ubotu: 50000000/8
[08:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 50000000/8 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:01] <gnu-linux> thankx Jrabbit

[08:03] <tritium> ^MaRkO_LaHoR^: stop
[08:03] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:03] <^MaRkO_LaHoR^> what why?

[08:09] <surpl2en> that should do it
[08:09] <shane634> dylock, what do you mean?
[08:09] <Zewey> valehru_: ls -R will do
[08:09] <ferronica> Madpilot: I dont think so
[08:09] <surpl2en> this is horrible
[08:09] <surpl2en> how can the sound not work :-(
[08:09] <surpl2en> when i do Test Soudn it plays sound
[08:10] <surpl2en> none of my applications play sound
[08:10] <ferronica> Madpilot: Paper Brand i know "Desmat"
[08:10] <dylock> well i had some nvidia driver problems, so i did an upgrade, that in turn messed up X so i had to fix that and i finally got the nvidia driver working
[08:10] <valehru_> Zewey, is there anyway I can export that into a text file?  It takes up a lot.
[08:10] <ferronica> Madpilot: www.desmat.com
[08:10] <Madpilot> ferronica, none at all? Does the paper company have a website?
[08:10] <surpl2en> oh ok
[08:10] <dylock> not nothing plays sound, and apparently no video works

[08:12] <shane634> surpl2en, sounds like a module issue
[08:12] <dylock> @hotmale.com shane634 ?
[08:12] <surpl2en> shane634: but the sound works
[08:12] <shane634> surpl2en, perhaps module assistant will help

[08:15] <ferronica> Madpilot: What you said????
[08:15] <shane634> dyloc hmm
[08:16] <shane634> dylock,  got yahoo?
[08:16] <dylock> nope, i got aim
[08:16] <Coffeegrindah> how would I go about finding out what's whron with my flash drive?
[08:16] <dylock> lemme reload gaim maybe its funky
[08:16] <Madpilot> ferronica, if you look at the list of templates in gLabels, many of them are for Avery products. Many other companies just copy Avery's layouts, so the Avery templates will work on non-Avery paper.
[08:16] <shane634> dylock, give me your msn and i will see if i can add ya

[08:17] <surpl2en> can somebody help debug my sound to work in my kfmedia player ?
[08:17] <surpl2en> it can work on the system and in Firefox, but not in the player or other players I have installed
[08:18] <shane634> surpl2en, you have all the plugins right?
[08:18] <surpl2en> shane634: which plugins ?
[08:18] <Coffeegrindah> can anyone tell me why a drive would allow me to format it in fat but not ext2/3? it's driving me up the wall
[08:18] <Madpilot> ferronica, I don't accept files via IRC - sorry.
[08:18] <ferronica> Madpilot: Accept one File
[08:19] <ferronica> Madpilot: Its just a Scanned Paper that i use
[08:19] <derek_> Hi
[08:19] <ferronica> Madpilot: see what type of paper i am using
[08:19] <derek_> I tried to install a TTF font by copying it into fonts:/// but it did not install
[08:19] <surpl2en> shane634: which plugins ?
[08:19] <derek_> It did not even seem to be copied
[08:19] <wday> Hello, I can't seem to find the answer to this on the forums/google -- I'm trying to use rdesktop (tsclient) to connect to a local vmware windows session -- it will only connect as root, if i run rdesktop as my user account i just get connection refused
[08:19] <shane634> surpl2en, the mplayer plugin and such
[08:19] <ferronica> Madpilot: shall i send????
[08:20] <surpl2en> no i dont think so
[08:20] <surpl2en> i am not using mplayer though
[08:20] <surpl2en> don't see the reason why i would need that
[08:20] <surpl2en> or the mplayer plugins
[08:20] <shane634> surpl2en, you using totem?
[08:20] <Madpilot> ferronica, have you tried all the templates in glabels that look like they might work?
[08:20] <surpl2en> no, i am using kfmediaplayer
[08:20] <surpl2en> i have totem also, but totem doesn't parse the codecs for some reason
[08:20] <surpl2en> with kfmediaplayer i can see video but no audio
[08:20] <ferronica> Madpilot: YES upto 20 templates :(
[08:20] <surpl2en> with totem i can't see both
[08:21] <ferronica> Madpilot: wasted many papers :(
[08:21] <ferronica> Madpilot: Thats why i wanna to send you my paper type
[08:21] <Madpilot> ferronica, glabels has an easy utility for creating new templates - you might have to do that.
[08:21] <Madpilot> ferronica, fine, resend it...
[08:22] <ferronica> Madpilot: ok send
[08:22] <ferronica> Madpilot: Got
[08:23] <Madpilot> ferronica, it's hard to tell from that image, but there's two CD labels on there, one above the other, right?
[08:23] <ferronica> Madpilot: yes yes
[08:23] <ferronica> Madpilot: just zoom it
[08:24] <Madpilot> ferronica, there are lots of templates that should work fine for sheets like those - I gave you a couple to try last night
[08:24] <ferronica> Madpilot: but problem is not exactly they print over my Labels
[08:25] <DarkED> hmm, anyone else having trouble installing gstreamer and vlc?
[08:25] <shane634> surpl2en, totem xine?
[08:25] <Madpilot> ferronica, I don't know why they wouldn't work, assuming they're A4-sized templates. There's a bit of overlap with the edges of the label, but that's deliberate
[08:26] <Ayabara2> how do I make inetd create /etc/inetd.conf?
[08:27] <Ayabara2> vmware server needs it, but it is not created when I start the inetd service
[08:31] <ferronica> Madpilot: do you how to correctly fit photo on template
[08:33] <Madpilot> ferronica, use the image tool in gLabels
[08:34] <lkthomas> guys
[08:34] <DarkED> hey, could someone on Edgy do me a favor and try to install vlc?
[08:34] <lkthomas> does ich5 support NCQ ?
[08:34] <DarkED> for some reason apt is telling me it's not installable due to broken dependencies
[08:34] <ferronica> Madpilot: upto that is okay how to correctly paste over it
[08:34] <Madpilot> ferronica, what do you mean?
[08:34] <DarkED> but i installed it just yesterday before i reformatted to reinstall ubuntu
[08:38] <nomasteryoda> DarkED, did you enable universe, multiverse and restricted repos in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:38] <keegan> hmm i am having trouble installing tovid
[08:38] <DarkED> nomasteryoda: yes, all my repos in sources.list are uncommented
[08:38] <Ayabara2> does anyone know how I initially create my inetd.conf file?
[08:38] <nomasteryoda> also did you do apt-get update
[08:38] <jamie> hello, does anyone know if hardware accelleration for my ATI Raedon x300 card is supported in Ubuntu?
[08:38] <DarkED> nomasteryoda: yep, bout 10 times now :)
[08:39] <ferronica> Madpilot: Just trying to print over my Labels correctly :(
[08:39] <nomasteryoda> that is definitely not right....
[08:39] <DarkED> nomasteryoda: i know... i thought the repo might be down but other repos that use the same server work
[08:40] <DarkED> aha! i figured out the problem
[08:40] <DarkED> stupid kate was saving it as a backup every time i saved ... i had to manually type in the filename
[08:40] <DarkED> odd
[08:40] <nomasteryoda> DarkED, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2269138
[08:40] <nomasteryoda> ah
[08:40] <nomasteryoda> ok
[08:40] <nomasteryoda> nvm
[08:40] <DarkED> ok, and it still cant find gstreamer
[08:41] <ferronica> Madpilot: just halfh inch from left side print is out and right halfh inch no print :(
[08:41] <nomasteryoda> when you do an update, all the repos servers respond ok?
[08:41] <ferronica> Madpilot: what is this..............:(
[08:41] <nomego> Hmm I have a diskimage as a file.. how do I mount it?
[08:41] <Madpilot> ferronica, you might have to do a custom template - like I said, gLabels has a helper setup to make that fairly easy.
[08:41] <nomego> I downloaded it from hp but it seems like a dd if=/dev/hda of=file.dd
[08:42] <DarkED> nomasteryoda: just about to do an update
[08:42] <ferronica> Madpilot: Okay
[08:42] <nomasteryoda> nomego, try this....
[08:42] <nomasteryoda> sudo mkdir /mnt/diskimage
[08:43] <nomasteryoda> sudo mount -o loop /pathto/yourimage /mnt/diskimage
[08:43] <DarkED> nomasteryoda: ok, i got it, multiverse wasnt even on the sources.list! lol
[08:43] <tritium> !enter
[08:43] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:43] <nomego> nomasteryoda: yeah I did.. but it's not a partition, it's a disk
[08:43] <nomasteryoda> right. You can mount it still... if its raw data.
[08:44] <ferronica> Madpilot: please select the basic shape of the labels or cards????
[08:44] <ferronica> Madpilot: which one i choose
[08:44] <nomego> nomasteryoda: ok.. so what filesystem do I need to mount it?
[08:45] <Madpilot> ferronica, how about the one called "CD/DVD label"?
[08:45] <nomego> nomasteryoda: (it says I must specify the filesystem type)
[08:45] <ferronica> Madpilot: as u say :)
[08:46] <ferronica> what about the measurement
[08:47] <DiYerxa> Does anyone know if it's possible to run SaX2 on Ubuntu?
[08:47] <ferronica> Madpilot: what about the measurement
[08:47] <Madpilot> ferronica, measure one of the actual sheets you have in front of you
[08:48] <ferronica> Madpilot: that is A4 size
[08:48] <Madpilot> ferronica, use a ruler to measure the actual layout of the actual labels on the actual sheet, I mean
[08:48] <nomasteryoda> DiYerxa, why?
[08:49] <usbLive> so really what's the deal with ext2? I've gota a messed up issue with a flash drive that won't allow me to partition 3 of the 4 gb as ext2 the first 1gb being fat. the only way i can get the thing to format is if i squeeze in another partition AFTER the ext2 one, like 1gm FAT16, 1GB ext2, and 2gb Reiser of JFS
[08:49] <nomasteryoda> it is not.... DiYerxa that is one messed up control box for suse .... If you have Ubuntu you should not need YaST
[08:49] <DiYerxa> nomasteryoda, for dual head support. and i just liked how SaX2 is easy to set up
[08:50] <nomasteryoda> ah
[08:50] <nomasteryoda> ok
[08:50] <nomasteryoda> if you have Nvidia, the nvidia-settings is great for that purpose
[08:51] <DiYerxa> SaX2 isn't specifically for SuSE, is it?
[08:51] <nomasteryoda> the ati applet works very well too on ati cards supporting the proprietary driver from ati
[08:52] <nomasteryoda> if it is in the debian repos, then you can probably install for ubuntu, but yes. To answer that question it is a SuSE thing.
[08:53] <DiYerxa> yea, I spose I haven't seen it on any other distrobutions.
[08:54] <DiYerxa> I found the web site though, http://sax.berlios.de/, I can download the RPMs, which I converted to .deb ... but after installing them, SaX2 wouldn't run
[08:54] <nomasteryoda> but again, if you have one of those cards, the configuration is not too difficult on Ubuntu... I in fact have an Nvidia and use nvidia-settings with the card daily... I can enable on the fly the TV out on the card to watch my movies, then disable it when I want to only have the PC
[08:55] <nomasteryoda> right, there are definite difference between how suse's file tree is setup and how debian/ubuntu is designed.
[08:55] <Freeza^> what about ati? i cant seem to get my ati driver to work for the life of me
[08:55] <nomasteryoda> you could modifiy the source, rebuild the package and release it to the community for ubuntu
[08:55] <nomasteryoda> nn
[08:56] <DiYerxa> well, I've configured my xorg.conf manually, and been able to run my dual monitor. but i get some glitches
[08:57] <Ayabara2> does ubuntu have a sample inetd.conf file somewhere?
[09:03] <Freeza^> hey is there a way to have an application bar at the bottom in gnome kind of like the one thats in osx?
[09:04] <Flannel> Freeza^: there are.  Uh, I personally don't know how/what/etc.  But, they do exist, so, don't give up! ;)
[09:04] <shone> hey dudes
[09:05] <shone> can anyone tell me where do i download
[09:05] <shone> the "alternate install disc" of ubuntu
[09:05] <Flannel> shone: for Edgy or Dapper?
[09:05] <shone> either
[09:05] <Flannel> Freeza^: you might check the forums (ubuntuforums.org), search for "OSX" or something
[09:06] <Flannel> shone: At the new download page, down at the bottom there's some "more options" sort of thing.
[09:06] <Flannel> shone: that'll get you to the old download page,
[09:06] <shone> ok tnx :)
[09:07] <Flannel> shone: If you're getting Edgy, fro mthere, you'll have to click (once selected a mirror), the "Additional INstallation Options" like, to get to a file listing like you're used to (well, like they used to be)
[09:07] <damn> give me Feisty Fawn beta law
[09:08] <damn> hey varka :>
[09:08] <shatrat> Freeza^, there are a few different programs out there that do that, none of them work well enough for me though.  The best one is avant window navigator, theres a thread on the forums on how to install it.
[09:08] <varka> hi
[09:09] <shatrat> hi
[09:10] <Freeza^> ahh ok thanks
[09:10] <Galga> hi, how can i change my resolution. to other than available. i have only two options, 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600

[09:11] <Galga> do i need to configure /etc/X11/xconfig ?
[09:12] <eV64> Galga, it can't hurt to do a bit more reading and learn some extra stuff. look at the links first
[09:12] <Galga> Flannel, previously i did sudo nano /etc/X11/xonfig. But the resolution i want is not available
[09:13] <eV64> Galga, please read the last link
[09:13] <AnAnt> Hello, I have a wierd problem at work, we have a local network in which there is a linux machine that has an NFS share, and the rest of the linux machines (clients) mount that NFS share. The problem is that if a linux client cannot access the internet (for example if the default gateway is not configured correctly), it cannot mount the NFS share although it can ping the NFS server ! What could the problem be ?
[09:13] <Galga> eV64, ok.
[09:13] <Galga> thanks
[09:16] <mneptok> AnAnt: stop mounting the share using names. use IP addresses. ;)
[09:17] <AnAnt> mneptok: the /etc/exports is exporting to IP address not host name
[09:17] <xipietotec> mneptok: do you know if gedit accepts user perl plugins?
[09:17] <AnAnt> mneptok: the /etc/exports  of the NFS server is exporting to IP address not host name
[09:17] <mneptok> xipietotec: i don't use gedit
[09:17] <xipietotec> damn...nvu then?
[09:17] <mneptok> AnAnt: but the clients?
[09:17] <AnAnt> mneptok: and the NFS client does mount hostname, but that hostname is in the /etc/hosts (ie. not looked up via DNS)
[09:18] <mneptok> xipietotec: WYSIWYG html editors are for kids "designing" their MySpace Christina Aguilera tribute page.  >:)
[09:19] <damn> xipietotec?

[09:22] <shane634> any other vid or wireless issues this evening?
[09:23] <AnAnt> mneptok: well ?
[09:23] <shane634> i can only help much with vid and wireless lol
[09:24] <khaile> Hi!
[09:24] <Freeza^> i had stupid wireless issues earlier but it was just the stupid acer_acpi having for me modprobe it twice to load
[09:24] <shatrat> Yes, is it possible for me to construct a draft-n card out of an old pci 10/100 ethernet card, a handful of twigs, and the letter U carved out of a potatoe?
[09:25] <shane634> good i shall retire then goodnight to all
[09:25] <xipietotec> shatrat: yes, but you need a paperclip, haven't you seen MacGuyver?
[09:25] <shatrat> I dont have any paperclips, I dont use paper anymore
[09:25] <shane634> shatrat, and an ink pen
[09:25] <shatrat> I wipe with kittens
[09:25] <shatrat> You can get kittens for free at the shelter and theyre softer than toilet paper
[09:26] <shane634> shatrat, wow man wow
[09:26] <phire> But they make their own mess
[09:26] <xipietotec> ....dude, that totally ruins the flavor shatrat
[09:26] <phire> and toilet paper doesn't need food
[09:26] <shane634> i only handle legit issues man
[09:26] <phire> and Thats horrible
[09:27] <shane634> qhire or litter
[09:27] <shane634> phire, lol sorry
[09:27] <AndrewB> Could we move this convo to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:28] <shane634> AndrewB, do they have vid and wireless issues there?
[09:28] <AndrewB> Nope.. can't say I do.
[09:28] <phire> now, there was a reason why I was here
[09:29] <shane634> then i would be useless like i am here lol

 What?
[09:35] <shinichizio> PocketIRC: Where are they? I've installed ffmpeg and wine, and I cannot find or use either of them. ;_;
 what happens if you write wine in terminal?
[09:36] <KenSentMe> DOes anyone here use Democracy Player and installed the latest backport on Edgy?
[09:36] <shinichizio> Er, hm.
[09:37] <shinichizio> It's creating a configuration directory.
[09:37] <shinichizio> Should I do that after I get packages? -utter newbie-
[09:37] <lasking> hello
[09:38] <lasking> who knows how to upgrade my ubuntu to kubuntu?
[09:38] <PocketIRC> hmm I dont think you can open wine... you open exefiles WITH wine if you understand?
[09:38] <mneptok> lasking: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:38] <shinichizio> PocketIRC: I understand. But how do I use ffmpeg (or ffplay or whichever thing I am supposedly using)
[09:39] <lasking> i do it but i can't use kdeO:-)
[09:39] <lasking> install kubuntu-desktop is not usefull
[09:40] <mneptok> lasking: that's how you install Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu
[09:40] <mneptok> so yes, it is useful :)
[09:40] <lasking> install kde  too?
 why did u install ffmpeg to start with? convert movies?
[09:41] <mneptok> it's part of kubuntu-desktop
[09:41] <shinichizio> PocketIRC: Apparently, I don't have the proper decoder to play .avi files. This was something I wish to rectify.
[09:41] <lasking> oh   thank you;)
[09:41] <catxk> since installing ubuntu, my computer has been shutting itself of every now and then without warning... any ideas?
[09:41] <catxk> didn't have the problem under windows
[09:42] <gordonjcp> catxk: odd
[09:42] <mneptok> catxk: hardware issue?
[09:42] <gordonjcp> overheating?
 what playe?
[09:42] <Galga> eV64, the problem is not with resolution exactly. But when I have a resolution of 800 x 600, I am unable to see the buttons which appear on any long dialogue box. If I increase the resolution, then i need to scroll everytime i need to access something from control panel
[09:42] <shinichizio> PocketIRC: Totem video player, I think
[09:42] <mneptok> shinichizio: you want the ffmpeg plugin for gstreamer
[09:43] <snadge> why isnt dri working with ati card and fglrx driver in edgy? :)
[09:43] <tester> i have ubuntu on a usb stick (live cd version).. it seems the os is in the memory.. because when i make changes they are not saved on the usb stick.. anyone know how i can save changes?

[09:43] <shinichizio> mneptok: So would I look that up on synaptic, or elsewhere? Again, I am a newbie. I will say and ask dumb things.
[09:43] <snadge> i have been following howtos, but no matter what i do.. i cant seem to get dri to be enabled with edgy's fglrx driver
[09:43] <gordonjcp> tester: make sure you're saving on the memory stick, then
[09:44] <catxk> gordonjcp: why would I wanna boot into windows? :) seriouslly, no I haven't tried
[09:44] <tester> gordonjcp, how do i do that? there are no folder on the usbstick with /etc /bin etc... it seems it is coming from another place..
[09:44] <catxk> mneptok: yeah, I guess, but more like driver issue perhaps since I haven't had the problem under windows
[09:44] <shinichizio> mneptok: Ah, found it. I'll grab that and see if things improve.
[09:45] <mneptok> catxk: that means nothing
[09:45] <catxk> and it happenes now more often since I installed beryl
[09:45] <lasking> who can tell me a best sources.list
[09:45] <mneptok> lasking: it's already installed :)
[09:45] <tester> gordonjcp, how do i do that? there are no folder on the usbstick with /etc /bin etc... it seems it is coming from another place..
[09:46] <yell0w> lasking, it all depends on what you need, how much stuff, are you a free-software nut or not
[09:46] <lasking> my speed it too slow
[09:46] <yell0w> lasking, the default should be fine for most people
[09:46] <lasking> not for me
[09:47] <yell0w> lasking, what's the problem ?
[09:47] <lasking> my apt-get speed just  10K/s
[09:47] <gordonjcp> tester: I heard you the first time
[09:47] <gordonjcp> tester: don't repeat things over and over
[09:48] <gordonjcp> tester: have a look and see what's actually on the memory stick, and see if it's maybe mounted in /media
[09:48] <acuster> hey all, I have a us keyboard with right-alt as a 'Third level modifier' how do I find out what keys provide modifiers (accents)?
[09:48] <gordonjcp> catxk: if it keeps shutting down - as in actually powering off - then that sounds like overheating to me
[09:48] <lasking> who's the tester?
[09:48] <xipietotec> acuster: preferences = keyboard settings
[09:48] <khaile> what is he testing?
[09:49] <gordonjcp> catxk: locking up would maybe be memory or overheating
[09:49] <khaile> what's going on?
[09:49] <nanotalk> hi.. where to setup proxy for apt ?
[09:49] <gordonjcp> catxk: in general I think it's time to get the air duster out ;-)
[09:49] <tester> gordonjcp: there are 2 partitions: 700mb fat16 and 1400mb(about 50 files) ext2(empty)...
[09:49] <nanotalk> (synaptic)
[09:49] <gordonjcp> tester: bizarre
[09:49] <yell0w> lasking, the default includes the minimum updates for the security and up-to-date of your system
[09:49] <tester> top
[09:49] <acuster> xipietotec, how do I see which key does what?
[09:50] <gordonjcp> tester: the 700M fat16 partition is about big enough to hold an Ubuntu ISO, could that be what's in there?
[09:50] <lasking> really?
[09:50] <xipietotec> acuster: essentially, look through your level modifiers in the keyboard preferences, and then monkey around with keys =)
[09:50] <gordonjcp> tester: I haven't played with booting of a USB stick, so I'm not sure how it goes together
[09:50] <tester> there is no iso on it, just a kernel with some extra files..
[09:50] <acuster> there used to be a keyboard window that showed the current state of keys (e.g. changed to caps when the shift key was held down)
[09:50] <shinichizio> Okay, I have a new problem. My dialer program caused my computer to arbitrarily reset. X_X
[09:51] <gordonjcp> tester: sounds like the 1400M part should me mounted somewhere, possibly under /media
[09:51] <catxk> gordonjcp: hehe, yeah.. I guess it might be overheating (currently in Malaysia, 30-40 degrees celcius), or shortcircuts from the humidty perhaps ;)
[09:51] <acuster> xipietotec, yes, this is after monkeying around and not finding my key :-)
[09:51] <Hacking_Defined> can some one help me ?
[09:51] <gordonjcp> catxk: it's the first thing I'd check
[09:51] <catxk> but the laptop doesn't feel hot at all
[09:51] <gordonjcp> ah, it's a laptop?
[09:51] <xipietotec> acuster: is it not a regular keyboard key?
[09:51] <yell0w> !ask | Hacking_Defined
[09:51] <ubotu> Hacking_Defined: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:52] <catxk> gordonjcp: yepp... isn't there some memtest thing included in this linux thingy? just to rule it out
[09:52] <acuster> xipietotec, it's a us thinkpad I assume it's somewhat regular
[09:52] <Hacking_Defined> can some one help me ?
[09:52] <gordonjcp> catxk: yeah, I'd suspect that faulty memory would cause a hard lockup but it's worth a try
[09:52] <ndlovu> how can I specify the network gateway from the terminal?
[09:52] <gordonjcp> !ask | Hacking_Defined
[09:52] <ubotu> Hacking_Defined: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:53] <catxk> gordonjcp: you know how to run it?
[09:53] <xipietotec> acuster: well, you might look through the keyboard layout preferences, to see if you're using the right keyboard layout.
[09:53] <Rydekull> Okay, so I have a Esprimo E5901 with a Intel 945G and a ADD2-card(DVI). With this im trying to configure Xinerama. I can have dualhead(out of the box) I can direct the output to each of the screens individually. But, seemingly I fail on getting them to work in Xinerama. Anyone got experience with this? As a extra nail in my eye it works in windows.
[09:53] <acuster> xipietotec, thanks
[09:53] <Hacking_Defined> i ude adsl and when i connect to te web after a coppole of minutes i need to diconnect using poff and connect again pon dsl-provider if i want to use mozille or kconquer can some onehelp me ?
[09:54] <xipietotec> no problem =)
[09:54] <gordonjcp> catxk: reboot, bring up the grub menu and select memtest86
[09:54] <mdeboer> hello
[09:55] <horde> every time I restart Kubuntu I have to manually reconnect to my network.  Anyone know how to make it automatic?
[09:55] <Hacking_Defined> any one know wat the problem is ?
[09:55] <Hacking_Defined> ya
[09:55] <tester> gordonjcp: afcourse the ext2 is mounted, but that filesystem is empty im 100% sure.. it seems that is OS is compressed and loaded into the memory while booting..
[09:56] <tester> gordonjcp: do you know a way to open that compressed filesystem and edit files on it.?
[09:56] <Galga> how to reduce dialogue box / window size ? so that the dialogue boxes don't exceed the resolution lengths
[09:56] <Hacking_Defined> i ude adsl and when i connect to te web after a coppole of minutes i need to diconnect using poff and connect again pon dsl-provider if i want to use mozille or kconquer can some onehelp me ?
[09:56] <gordonjcp> tester: it's not really something I've played with
[09:56] <lasking> W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.    i only have one source
[09:56] <mdeboer> i've got a machine where the ethernet card is used as eth1 instead of eth0. eth0 cannot be brought up... it took me quite a while before i discovered that adding eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces did the trick... any idea what is the origin of this problem? what it eth0 supposed to be?
[09:58] <Hacking_Defined> no one can help me ?
[09:59] <predaeus> mdeboer, that's really weird. Do you have to ethernet cards, like an onboard one and another pci card?
[09:59] <dystopianray> is it illegal to download and use libxine-extracodecs? or is it only the redistribution that is illegal?
[09:59] <predaeus> *two
[09:59] <lasking> too many peopleO:-)
[09:59] <denardo> Hi, all.  I can't make my speakers emit any sound.
[10:00] <denardo> dougie: amarok
[10:01] <dougie> lol
[10:01] <dystopianray> shinichizio: are they turned on and connected to your computer?
[10:01] <shinichizio> dystopianray: Yes. I've checked. Everything is plugged in and on and all that.
[10:01] <dougie> are you sure they arent connected to your mic or line in port?
[10:01] <dystopianray> shinichizio: check alsamixer to se if anything is muted
[10:02] <dystopianray> shinichizio: what card do you have?
[10:02] <predaeus> Peppery, dougie, I was refering to what music manager I am using. (xmms)
[10:02] <shinichizio> dystopianray: Where can I find; alsamixer, and how to check what card I have?
[10:02] <mEck0> I wonder if I can use the "feisty amd64 desktop" in text-mode? I have an ATI-gfx card on the machine I want install it on, and the live-cd doesn't work, I see when Ubuntu boots (the logo...) and then I hear a sound from the computer and it like hangs up... Or must I download the alternate-cd?
[10:02] <dystopianray> shinichizio: you should have alsamixer by default, just run it in a terminal
[10:02] <dystopianray> shinichizio: you should know what card you have, is it onboard or pci card?
[10:03] <shinichizio> Nothing's muted, and it's a pci card.
[10:03] <shinichizio> ...er.
[10:03] <horde> every time I restart Kubuntu I have to manually reconnect to my network.  Anyone know how to make it automatic?
[10:03] <shinichizio> dystopianray: ^^
[10:03] <dystopianray> shinichizio: what card does alsamxier say it is?
[10:04] <shinichizio> Ensoniq AudioPCI
[10:05] <shinichizio> dystopianray: ^^ (Dang it. AGAIN.)
[10:05] <denardo> When ap-get tells me, for example, "Investigating hpijs
[10:05] <denardo> Package hpijs has broken dep on hplip-ppds
[10:05] <denardo>   Considering hplip-ppds 2 as a solution to hpijs 1
[10:05] <denardo>   Holding Back hpijs rather than change hplip-ppds
[10:05] <denardo> "what should I do to fix it?
[10:05] <denardo> (hmm, that pasted oddly)
[10:05] <Hacking_Defined> what antivirus do u use?
[10:05] <dystopianray> shinichizio: does it have any other wierd toggles or things in alsamixer? my audigy has some toggle that causes the output to be muted
[10:06] <dystopianray> Hacking_Defined: you want to scan windows partitions?
[10:06] <shinichizio> dystopianray: The whole damn thing looks weird to me. What exactly am I looking for?
[10:06] <dystopianray> shinichizio: I don't know, i could be any sort of toggle or something
[10:06] <dystopianray> shinichizio: or some other volume control thing
[10:08] <shinichizio> dystopianray: I've fiddled with all the values that I can identify as having something to do with the problem, or just can't identify. It's not helping.
[10:08] <predaeus> shinichizio, you can switch between option screens with alt-tab in alsamixer.
[10:08] <shinichizio> dystopianray: Could it be my speakers are the problem?
[10:08] <dystopianray> shinichizio: yes, it could be
[10:09] <scumbag> how long until feisty release?
[10:09] <dystopianray> scumbag: april 19
[10:09] <shinichizio> dystopianray: I'll go to Ensoniq's website and see if there's anything about non-compatibility. Or driver updates, or something.
[10:10] <dystopianray> shinichizio: that'd be a waste of time, you'll want to look at the ubuntu forums or something
[10:10] <shinichizio> dystopianray: Ah, will do.
[10:10] <scumbag> dystopianray: isnt that something to be exited about?
[10:10] <dystopianray> scumbag: sure, why not
[10:10] <denardo> :scratches his head and wonders if anyone on earth actually understands apt-get
[10:11] <gary> Got a bit of a weird thing here.  I have a new computer (AMD 3400) - which should run at 2ghz, and does on windows.  However, when I do cat /proc/cpuinfo it comes out at 1000mhz.  Is this a known problem, or am I mis-understanding this information?
[10:11] <dystopianray> gary: cpu-frequency scaling, it's normal
[10:11] <dystopianray> gary: runa  cpu intensive program and it'll shoot up to it's proper speed
[10:12] <mirra> whats the easiest way to transfer a file between 2 machines on a private network in the command line (no ftp) ????
[10:12] <dystopianray> mirra: scp
[10:13] <gary> I ran dystopianray OO.org but the cpu remained the same speed as I was cat'ing it
[10:13] <renedox> can someone help me get my computer up and running again?
[10:13] <renedox> won't read the /root/ filesystem
[10:13] <dystopianray> gary: OO.org is a word processor.. it isn't cpu intensive :S
[10:13] <renedox> whatever that means :|
[10:13] <gary> lol dystopianray on my old computer it was - believe me!
[10:14] <dystopianray> gary: try $ cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null
[10:15] <gary> haha - it worked
[10:15] <gary> thanks!
[10:15] <denardo> Grr, the instructions I have just remove the packages, rather than fixing them.
[10:15] <shinichizio> dystopianray: I'll just bring my issues to the forums, since it's very general and I've no idea where to start. Thanks for your help, though!
[10:15] <shinichizio> Also general thanks to whoever else helped me and I forgot their name. orz
[10:15] <dystopianray> gary: the frequency scaling saves power and keeps your cpu cooler
[10:16] <dystopianray> shinichizio: first, try your speakers on something else, to see if they work
[10:16] <elita> just installed ubuntu for the first tiem
[10:16] <elita> time
[10:16] <dystopianray> shinichizio: then run alsamixer, have a suond file playing or something and toggle everything in alsamixer and put all controls to maximum
[10:16] <Tom_Kun> anyone here got some advice regarding atmel (cnet 611) wlan usb cars on ubuntu?
[10:16] <dystopianray> shinichizio: also, make sure you have your speakers plugged into the actual pci card, and not into some onboard audio output or something
[10:17] <shinichizio> dystopianray: They worked a month ago, and nothing severe has happened to them. And, I did that already. I fiddled with everything in alsamixer while blasting loud, loud music. And I'm SURE it's the right dang plugin.
[10:17] <renedox> anyone...? please...?
[10:17] <elita> My computer has a new ATi X800GTO AGP card but for some reason Ubuntu won't let me use it beyond 1024x768 - I even tried manually editing xorg.conf to add in 1280x1024 for both 15 and 24 bit modes :(
[10:17] <yell0w> renedox, what's your problem ?
[10:17] <cens0red> hi. I've decided to learn a bit of C from a web tut. What's a good IDE in the ubuntu packages?
[10:17] <elita> cens0red: vim ?
[10:17] <elita> cens0red: or gvim
[10:17] <dystopianray> cens0red: vim
[10:17] <renedox> yell0w: when I start up my computer, goes to the screen with the progress bar
[10:17] <cens0red> hmmm. thanks.
[10:18] <renedox> yell0w: gets to the second one where it reads the root filesystem
[10:18] <renedox> yell0w: then goes to terminal screen and says it can't be read or something
[10:18] <denardo> Can anyone help me understand how to deal with kept-back packages in an apt-get upgrade?
[10:18] <yell0w> renedox, what can't be read ?
[10:18] <renedox> yell0w: the /root/ folder
[10:19] <dystopianray> elita: try running this and select the resolutions you want and the driver you want to use: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[10:19] <elita> So... any way I can make my ATi X800GTO work better in ubuntu? It'll be rather unfortunate if I was stuck in pathetic 1024x768 all my life :)
[10:19] <yell0w> eek
[10:19] <elita> dystopianray: tx.
[10:19] <yell0w> renedox, maybe your system is hosed, i don't know
[10:19] <renedox> yell0w: any way of restoring the system?
[10:19] <renedox> without formatting or losing my files?
[10:20] <yell0w> renedox, what did you do to make it like that ?
[10:20] <renedox> I restarted the computer
[10:20] <elita> dystopianray: restarting X now... bbl - bye :)
[10:20] <yell0w> renedox,  it was running fine before the restart ?
[10:21] <renedox> yell0w: no, it was very laggy, so I took the windows approach
[10:21] <renedox> ;)
[10:21] <yell0w> renedox, what i meant is, what changes did you make to the system since the last successful boot up ?
[10:21] <didi_> http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[10:21] <yell0w> renedox, uhhhmmm did you hit it with a hammer or something ?
[10:21] <yell0w> @_@
[10:22] <renedox> yell0w: lol no
[10:22] <renedox> yell0w: updated firefox
[10:22] <yell0w> renedox, that's usually the windows approach
[10:22] <renedox> lol
[10:22] <denardo> Hmm, apt-get's telling me "Try to Re-Instate" various things, but I'm not clear what "Re-Instate" would mean in this context.
[10:22] <didi_> has anyone used that http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ ? I would like an offline rep on dvds everyplace I go
[10:22] <yell0w> renedox, are you sure firefox is the only thing? it's got to be something that you did before that make it do that
[10:23] <yell0w> renedox, from the last time it boot up ok, there shouldn't be any problem again if you don't make any change
[10:23] <wyndblade> is scsi kernel support still needed for sata?
[10:24] <dystopianray> wyndblade: yes
[10:24] <renedox> yell0w: probably updated a few other programs as well
[10:24] <renedox> been 13 days since I last rebooted
[10:24] <wyndblade> and I am using x86, on an amd64, was using k7 a wise choice?
[10:24] <yell0w> renedox, well then the field is open for what went wrong
[10:24] <renedox> nothing that would change the system
[10:25] <elita> dystopianray: seems to have worked - many kindly thanks.
[10:25] <dystopianray> wyndblade: athlon64s are k8
[10:25] <renedox> no kernel updates or anything
[10:25] <yell0w> renedox, you should've kept a personal log of what happens to your system
[10:25] <cafuego_> wyndblade: Soon it will also be needed for PATA
[10:25] <wyndblade> will it screw with the x86 install set to k8?
[10:25] <dystopianray> elita: if you diff the new config and the old config you'll see what change made it work, probably hsync and vrefresh settings
[10:25] <dystopianray> wyndblade: only if you don't have a k8 cpu
[10:25] <cafuego_> wyndblade: The k7 kernel will be fine on your amd64.
[10:25] <wyndblade> it's a k8
[10:25] <yell0w> renedox, and why did you restart, it's linux for christ's sake
[10:25] <wyndblade> amd64 turion mk-36
[10:26] <cafuego_> wyndblade: if you're configuring the kernel source, k8 is fine.
[10:26] <B|atch> Hi, ppl. This is my first time using linux and i have a problem with my wireless card. Can anybody help me?
[10:26] <wyndblade> got brave to do my own kernel
[10:26] <wyndblade> did it in gentoo, said why not ubuntu
[10:26] <renedox> yell0w: because it was getting very laggy
[10:26] <dystopianray> wyndblade: you should start with ubuntu's config and modify it how you like
[10:26] <didi_> has anyone used that http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ ? I would like an offline rep on dvds everyplace I go
[10:26] <wyndblade> dystopianray, I did :P
[10:26] <dystopianray> B|atch: what wireless chipset does the card have?
[10:26] <renedox> yell0w: and for some reason, the same program is listed multiple times when I do a ps-A
[10:26] <cafuego_> dystopianray: Nah, no reason if you know what you're doing.
[10:27] <wyndblade> dystopianray, took me almost 45 mins to trim the bloat
[10:27] <yell0w> yell0w, shuting uneeded proccess would help
[10:27] <didi_> ok cya l8r
[10:27] <bcochofel> I'm using libnss_ldap and I'm getting several error messages. This bug is described here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/51315
[10:27] <cafuego_> wyndblade: One thing to do though is to use `make-kpkg' from 'kernel-package' to build the actual kernel.
[10:27] <yell0w> renedox, just kill them
[10:27] <B|atch> dystopianray: im using a dlink dwl-520+
[10:27] <bcochofel> Can anyone tell me if there's a fix for this?
[10:27] <wyndblade> cafuego, rgr
[10:27] <renedox> yell0w: yeah, they just start back up again :|
[10:27] <dystopianray> B|atch: is that broadcom? atheros? ralink??
[10:27] <yell0w> renedox, not the gnome-... processs
[10:28] <yell0w> renedox, for gnome you can hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart gnome
[10:28] <renedox> yell0w: yeah, I know
[10:28] <B|atch> dystopianray: thing is that linux recognizes my wireless card and im allow to enter my router's congif page but i cannot get to any website
[10:28] <renedox> yell0w: I didn're restart the gnome process
[10:28] <dystopianray> B|atch: what router do you have?
[10:28] <kas84> hi
[10:28] <B|atch> dystopianray: not sure whether its broadcom. how do i check?
[10:28] <dystopianray> B|atch: if the wifi works then it doesn't matter, your problem is elsewhere
[10:29] <dystopianray> B|atch: what is the model of your router?
[10:29] <kas84> i can't get my wireless card working, can anybody help me?
[10:29] <dystopianray> B|atch: can you try pinging google.com or something?
[10:29] <renedox> yell0w: hang on, I'm going to log in on the windows computer and restart this one
[10:29] <kas84> it's a intel one
[10:29] <renedox> yell0w: and I'll tell you what it says
[10:29] <B|atch> dystopianray: im using a linksys wrt54g
[10:29] <dystopianray> kas84: 2100, 2200 or 3945?
[10:29] <dystopianray> B|atch: default firmware or custom firmware?
[10:30] <dougie> does Amarok not play mp3's?
[10:30] <dystopianray> dougie: you need libxine-extracodecs
[10:30] <kas84> i don't know, it supports abg
[10:30] <kas84> it's a core duo intel processor
[10:30] <dystopianray> kas84: run lspci and it'll tell you what model it is
[10:30] <B|atch> dystopianray: default, im using xp with my wireless to connect online
[10:30] <dystopianray> B|atch: you're in xp right now?
[10:31] <B|atch> dystopianray: yup
[10:31] <dystopianray> B|atch: are you using dhcp on your network?
[10:31] <kas84> it's 3945
[10:31] <dystopianray> kas84: what ubuntu release are you using?
[10:31] <kas84> edgy eft
[10:31] <B|atch> dystopianray: nope, i off the dhcp server on my router. im using static ip set by OS
[10:31] <dystopianray> B|atch: ok, then your problem lies in your static configuration
[10:32] <dystopianray> B|atch: did you set a route in linux? and did you put your dns server in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[10:32] <wyndblade> okay I used envy to install my nvidia drivers, when I finish this kernel config, will I have to re-install them?
[10:32] <fotoflo__> why would anyone waste an nvidia video card on a ubuntu machine?
[10:33] <renedox> damn...
[10:33] <dystopianray> fotoflo__: how is it a waste?
[10:33] <renedox> where'd he go...
[10:33] <wyndblade> fotoflo__, depends on what you conside waste
[10:34] <B|atch> dystopianray: if you mean set a route in linux as in setting my own static ip i did but what dns server in resolv.conf?
[10:34] <fotoflo__> well, do you play hard core 3d games on your ubuntu box?
[10:34] <dystopianray> B|atch: your router is your dns server
[10:34] <kas84> B|atch: I know some time ago I edited my interafaces file and type in just one line auto something and it worked but I can't remember what was it now
[10:34] <fotoflo__> or do 3d modeling?
[10:34] <dystopianray> B|atch: you need to set a default gateway in a static configuration, which is your router
[10:34] <wyndblade> nope only a 6150go
[10:34] <wyndblade> but I use beryl etc.
[10:34] <dystopianray> fotoflo__: lots of games work in wine, and doom3, quake4, unreal tournament 200x, and others have native ports
[10:34] <B|atch> dystopianray: i don't quite get you
[10:35] <fotoflo__> dystopianray, then, if you played them, that would be a good reason
[10:35] <fotoflo__> whats beryl?
[10:35] <dystopianray> B|atch: how did you setup the static configuration?
[10:35] <wyndblade> !beryl
[10:35] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:36] <fotoflo__> ok, that makes sense
[10:36] <B|atch> dystopianray: mean in my router? i just disable my dhcp server
[10:36] <dystopianray> B|atch: in /etc/resolv.conf you should have a line that is like 'nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>', replacing that ip with your router's ip
[10:36] <dystopianray> B|atch: no, on your computer
[10:36] <jamie> !gnome
[10:36] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[10:37] <dystopianray> B|atch: is there a specific reason to use static configuration over dhcp?
[10:37] <B|atch> dystopianray: ok i did not do that. so i have to access /etc/resolv.conf and change it?
[10:37] <dystopianray> B|atch: yes, or you will get no dns
[10:37] <B|atch> dystopianray: my router ip is <IP_ADDRESS> anyway. the reason is that i wanted to open certain ports
[10:38] <dystopianray> B|atch: your linksys router should allow static dhcp addresses
[10:38] <fotoflo__> actully, i run 9 desktops, and they are a little slow, when scrolling in firefox, for example... not enough ram? or not enough ram on video-card (i use onboard video on an intel 845 mb)
[10:38] <dystopianray> B|atch: just configure it to always give your computer the same address
[10:39] <B|atch> dystopianray: nope. it just allow you to disable dhcp server and i have to config my comp to give me the same ip
[10:39] <dystopianray> B|atch: ah, you're right, only third party firmware allows it
[10:39] <dystopianray> B|atch: what steps did you take to configure the static connection in ubuntu?
[10:39] <Norbids_klons> lv
[10:40] <dystopianray> B|atch: did you set the default gateway?
[10:41] <B|atch> dystopianray: i went to System>Administration>Networking, there is a wireless option there and so i just click property and fill in the required info like static ip, default gateway, subnet mask....
[10:41] <dystopianray> B|atch: ok, that should be fine then, as long as those settings are correct, you're likely just missing the dns server entry in /etc/resolv.conf
[10:42] <B|atch> dystopianray: thanks, you're a great saver. gonna try it now. BRB
[10:43] <tackat_>  If somebody would like to try Marble: http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/marble14.png here are packages (they work for Edgy): http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/kubuntu/marble_0.2-3_i386.deb http://developer.kde.org/~tackat/marble/kubuntu/marble-data_0.2-3_all.deb
[10:43] <tackat_> Doesn't need OpenGL and ist still under development :)
[10:44] <dystopianray> tackat_: google earth ripoff?
[10:44] <tackat_> dystopianray: the tiny son ;-)
[10:44] <tackat_> dystopianray: it doesn't do automatical tile download yet - that will be added within the next 2-3 weeks
[10:45] <dystopianray> tackat_: so it still looks the same when you zoom in?
[10:45] <lasking> i can't use wine to play games if i install nvidia-glx    is this right?
[10:45] <dystopianray> tackat_: where does the map data come from?
[10:45] <dystopianray> lasking: um.. where did you hear such nonsense?
[10:46] <lasking> someone said  if install glx  can't use opengl
[10:46] <dystopianray> :S
[10:46] <quux> Hey all. Quick question. So I do an apt-get upgrade, and APT tells me the names of several packages it's going to update. But: is there an easy way to find out *why* these patches were deemed necessary?
[10:46] <dystopianray> lasking: you need nvidia-glx for 3d acceleration on nvidia cards
[10:47] <lasking> but  my cedega said opengl not passed
[10:47] <dystopianray> quux: aptitude can show changelogs, i think
[10:47] <dystopianray> lasking: are you using the 'nvidia' driver?
[10:47] <tackat_> dystopianray: it will zoom in and show more details but currently it's limited to 6MB of data :) Have a look here http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/551
[10:47] <quux> dystopianray: yes there's a changes tab. Comes up blank for all of them.
[10:47] <ubuntu> Hey all, just wondering why I can only select 800x600 as my resolution when I boot into a LIVE CD, I am on one now and it only shows available resolutions as 800x600 and 640x80
[10:47] <lasking> apt-get nvidia-glx
[10:47] <ubuntu> *600x480
[10:47] <dystopianray> quux: you can look at the changelogs on packages.ubuntu.com
[10:47] <lasking> my 3D passed  but my opengl not passed
[10:48] <quux> dystopianray: thanks, I'll check it out
[10:48] <dystopianray> lasking: did you modify xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver? do you get the nvidia logo appearing when X starts?
[10:48] <dystopianray> tackat_: where does the map data come from?
[10:48] <lasking> yes i see logo
[10:48] <tackat_> dystopianray: NASA, public domain
[10:49] <lasking> but opengl is not passed
[10:49] <SplashTK> Hey all, just wondering why I can only select 800x600 as my resolution when I boot into a LIVE CD, I am on one now and it only shows available resolutions as 800x600 and 600x480, sorry for the repost :(
[10:49] <dystopianray> tackat_: oh, the same data as world wind?
[10:49] <dystopianray> SplashTK: what video card do you have?
[10:50] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  ATI Radeon 9250
[10:50] <dystopianray> lasking: it's possible that cedega is just too crap to detect it properly
[10:50] <SplashTK> dystopianray, I am assuming it's a driver issue?
[10:50] <dystopianray> SplashTK: most likely
[10:50] <dystopianray> SplashTK: what about after you install? is it still the same?
[10:50] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Cool, can I find one somewhere do you think?
[10:51] <dystopianray> SplashTK: I wouldn't bother for just the livecd
[10:51] <lasking> but wine can not use opengl too
[10:51] <SplashTK> dystopianray, I haven't tried installing yet, I wanted to just use the LIVE CD for the moment if that's possible.
[10:51] <tackat_> dystopianray: once the tiledownload is complete it will use basically the same data as worldwind. Yes
[10:52] <mdeboer> oops, got called away for an emergency... is there a log of this IRC somewhere?
[10:52] <dystopianray> SplashTK: try adding some modes to xorg.conf and restarting X
[10:52] <SplashTK> k
[10:52] <lasking> nvidia-config  said erro  but i can see nvidia logo
[10:52] <dystopianray> SplashTK: i think you might need to set a password for hte default first though
[10:52] <dystopianray> lasking: does glxgears work?
[10:53] <dystopianray> SplashTK: a password for hte default user account i mean
[10:53] <lasking> glxgears dispaly right
[10:54] <SplashTK> umm :P
[10:54] <dystopianray> lasking: what does this show $ glxinfo | grep direct
[10:54] <SplashTK> dystopianray, I'm not that Linux savy ;)
[10:54] <dystopianray> SplashTK: open a terminal and type 'passwd'
[10:54] <dystopianray> and just set it to anything
[10:54] <lasking> No
[10:55] <lasking> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[10:55] <dystopianray> lasking: ok, so you don't have 3d acceleration
[10:55] <SplashTK> dystopianray, k :)
[10:55] <lasking> but my beryl can work
[10:55] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Done that
[10:56] <tackat_> huh, if I hear about all those problems wrt OpenGL then I know why Marble doesn't use it ;-)
[10:56] <dystopianray> SplashTK: so add a mode to xorg.conf and restart X
[10:56] <lasking> what should i do now?
[10:56] <SplashTK> dystopianray, a mode...like?
[10:56] <dystopianray> lasking: you'll need to configure ubuntu to use the nvidia glx, instead of mesa, I don't recall the command though
[10:56] <dystopianray> SplashTK: like "1024x768" or something, whatever resolution you want to use
[10:57] <lasking> thank you  let me try it
[10:57] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  oh okay, thanks :)
[10:57] <lasking> dystopianray is a good guy8-)
[10:57] <dystopianray> SplashTK: in the "screen" section it has lists of modes to use for various colour depths
[10:58] <SplashTK> dystopianray, , sorry but how do open xorg.conf
[10:58] <dystopianray> SplashTK: open it with your favourite editor, as root, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:59] <CheshireViking> SplashTK, in terminal sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:01] <derrin> Hi!  I'm a brand new ubuntu user.   Is it true that I do not need anti-virus?
[11:01] <MasseR> derrin: It is recommended to install anti-virus, but not as much as with windows
[11:02] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Hmm, there are already alot of res' there.
[11:02] <dystopianray> SplashTK: reses higher than 800x600?
[11:02] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  Yes.
[11:02] <Daviey> derrin, there are few linux viri;  but mainly ClamAV protects against the windows viruses
[11:02] <dystopianray> SplashTK: it's probably the hsync and vrefresh that are too small then
[11:02] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  OH okay.
[11:02] <dystopianray> SplashTK: do you have a lcd or crt monitor?
[11:02] <SplashTK> dystopianray, LCD
[11:02] <derrin> ClamAV... thank you!
[11:02] <wyndblade> !kernel
[11:02] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[11:03] <dystopianray> SplashTK: for 1280x1024 I have 'HorizSync       28-64' and 'VertRefresh     43-60'
[11:03] <derrin> Thank you so much!  What about Firewall, Anti-spam/phishing??
[11:03] <dystopianray> SplashTK: this is in the 'Monitor' section
[11:03] <xipietotec> derrin: firewall is built into the OS, iptables
[11:03] <xipietotec> anti-spam/fishing is part of firefox
[11:03] <dystopianray> derrin: firefox has a built in phishing detection thing
[11:04] <dystopianray> derrin: spam filtering should be possible with any email client
[11:04] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Okay
[11:04] <xipietotec> anti-spyware and anti-virus software are not necessary
[11:04] <dystopianray> derrin: windows is basically the only operating system that suffers from virus/malware issues
[11:04] <Daviey> derrin, iptables is hard to configure.  I would recommend 'firestarter' which is similar in usage to windows firewall
[11:05] <MasseR> (Which is only a gui to iptables though)
[11:05] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Under Monitor section I have only identifier and Option
[11:05] <SplashTK> Nothing else
[11:06] <dystopianray> SplashTK: add a horizsync and vertrefresh settings like mine
[11:06] <SplashTK> dystopianray, k
[11:06] <tony_edward> I am trying to connect to a postgres database from a remote machine and I dont know if the tcp/ip connect option is set with the startup of postgres. How do I find out?
[11:07] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  Done :)
[11:07] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Save and restart X?
[11:07] <subtilis> My panel is broken
[11:07] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Also, how do I restart X ;) lol, sorry for being so noob:P
[11:08] <lasking> My panel is broken too
[11:08] <dystopianray> SplashTK: logout and hit ctrl-alt-backspace, I don't know if X starts up automatically on the livecd, somebody should confirm this...
[11:08] <SplashTK> dystopianray,  Okay, well, thankyou very much for your help :)
[11:08] <lasking> i remove a soft  my panel is broken
[11:08] <subtilis> killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel does not work; deleting .gnome2 directory neither
[11:08] <subtilis> ???
[11:08] <dystopianray> SplashTK: I think that if it doesn't start up automatically, $ /etc/init.d/gdm start or $ /etc/init.d/kdm start will bring it up
[11:09] <SplashTK> Okay cool, thanks you :)
[11:09] <SplashTK> I'll try now
[11:09] <derrin> I am so glad I found you all.  Thanks a million for the advice!
[11:12] <mll> Can anyone help me with a shutdown problem?
[11:12] <dystopianray> mll: what is the problem?
[11:12] <mll> the buttons dont work at all
[11:13] <mll> in a shell i can shut it down with "sudo shutdoen - now"
[11:13] <bcochofel> Where can I change my LANG var? .bashrc?
[11:13] <mll> hmmm.. "sudo shutdown -h now" I meant
[11:13] <dystopianray> bcochofel: you can set it globally in /etc/default/locale
[11:14] <bcochofel> dystopianray: where can I get a list of valid params?
[11:14] <lasking> how can i do  could not see these meassage
[11:14] <lasking> subtilis left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection).
[11:14] <lasking> kkerwin left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection
[11:14] <b3rx> when will ubuntu go beta?
[11:14] <dystopianray> bcochofel: locale -a
[11:14] <dystopianray> b3rx: friday
[11:15] <dystopianray> bcochofel: locale -a shows the utf8 bit as lowercase, but in LANG, make it uppercase and with a dash, like in /etc/default/locale
[11:15] <bcochofel> dystopianray: Sorry, how can I add values? I don't have iso8859-1 options
[11:15] <b3rx> dystopianray: may i ask what time zone since its already friday in my timezone
[11:15] <dystopianray> bcochofel: locale-gen
[11:16] <dystopianray> b3rx: I have no idea, it's nearly saturday in my timezone
[11:16] <ferronica> how to mount XP partition in ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[11:16] <bcochofel> dystopianray: has root?
[11:16] <dystopianray> bcochofel: yes
[11:16] <b3rx> lol thanks anyway...
[11:16] <dystopianray> ferronica: mount -t ntfs /dev/blah /foo
[11:17] <mll> I installed yesterday and ran the update (143 packages) and after that the pc whont respond to gnome's "shutdown" when I press the buttons..
[11:17] <dystopianray> mll: are you running edgy?
[11:18] <mll> hmmm..
[11:18] <mll> *checking*
[11:18] <ferronica> dystopianray: only root can mount
[11:18] <ikonia_> mll try using the reboot command, then aftera reboot trying the shutdown again - sometimes with a kernel update pending some commands get borked - more so things like gnomes interface to the OS
[11:18] <dystopianray> ferronica: so, mount as root
[11:18] <ikonia_> use sudo
[11:18] <dystopianray> ferronica: or put an entry in /etc/fstab
[11:18] <mll> down loaded - "Ubuntu 6.10 - Supported to 2008  "
[11:18] <bcochofel> dystopianray: one more thing, my system wide is different from my user, do you know where can a user change this default?
[11:19] <mll> ikonia: thanks, ill try that one
[11:19] <ikonia_> mll thats egdy - try a reboot then try the shutdown buttons
[11:19] <gary> Can anyone recommend a good application for testing regular expressions.  I would like to type in some sample text, and make a regexpression and then the matches to be output, or the results highlighted.  I've had a look but none seem to do this - or won't work!
[11:19] <dystopianray> bcochofel: probably in .bash_profile or .bashrc or something, I'm not sure
[11:19] <ikonia_> mll may not be the problem, but easier to work with once you've "applied" all the udpates
[11:19] <mll> ikonia: rgr, thanks
[11:19] <ferronica> dystopianray: what is NTFS-3G???
[11:19] <dystopianray> !ntfs-3g
[11:19] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[11:20] <bcochofel> dystopianray: neither one of them has LANG changed, can kcontrol change this and set it to env?
[11:21] <dystopianray> bcochofel: no idea
[11:21] <valehru_> Hey guys, what is the best application to rip CD's to mp3?
[11:21] <dystopianray> valehru_: i like kaudiocreator
[11:21] <valehru_> dystopianray, is that a kde app?  im running gnome
[11:21] <cod> is there any way to re-configure the sound system in the way that is done upon installing ubuntu?  I've got a mature install, but it changed sound cards.  I got major problems... but a new install on separate partition has sound working fine... go figure!!
[11:22] <dystopianray> valehru_: kde apps run in gnome
[11:22] <amAMD> sound juicer
[11:22] <b3rx> how often does the repos get updated? i have found some new release of a certain program and was wondering when would it be available in the repos.
[11:22] <valehru_> amAMD, sound juicer doesnt rip to mp3 does it?  or am i looking at something extra to be installed?
[11:22] <dystopianray> b3rx: application versions only change for new ubuntu releases, only security fixes go into the repos
[11:23] <amAMD> per default ogg
[11:23] <b3rx> thanks mate!
[11:23] <valehru_> dystopianray, i don't want any kde apps....there is a reason im running gnome
[11:23] <valehru_> amAMD, thx...will look into mp3 support
[11:23] <cod> anybody?
[11:23] <amAMD> profiles offers mp3
[11:23] <dystopianray> valehru_: you'll deny the use of a piece of software just becuase of some stupid desktop environment preference?
[11:23] <cod> :(
[11:24] <valehru_> dystopianray, when disk space is very limited I do and kde apps usually need a lot more packages to be installed...
[11:24] <mll> ikonia: worked like a charm!!
[11:24] <mll> thanks!
[11:24] <CoRnJuLiOx> ok, to test if a joystick device is working, you'd do a 'od -xw8 /dev/input/js0', right? the output values are supposed to change while you're pessing buttons, right?
[11:25] <ikonia_> mll no problem, its quite commen that some updates mess up the interface before a reboot
[11:26] <Red_Tide> hey anyone have a problem with ubuntu failing to load x with ati cards?
[11:26] <amAMD> @valehru lame should be installed
[11:26] <ikonia_> Red_Tide thats quite common
[11:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> i'm trying to get a PSX pad (via PSX-USB converter) working under ubuntu 6.06 and its not going so well. it started working one day and i don't know why, and it stopped working when i unplugged it and plugged it back in.
[11:26] <ikonia_> !ati >red_tide
[11:26] <ikonia_> Red_Tide check your PM's
[11:26] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx possibly hung the usb port for that device
[11:27] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: any way to check?
[11:27] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx on replugging it back in - it may have assumed a difference device address
[11:27] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx check your sys log for starters
[11:27] <Red_Tide> !ati?
[11:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ati? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:27] <SplashTK> dystopianray, It didn't work :( :P
[11:27] <Dexter> what it the default ubuntu  server root password ??? :(
[11:27] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: is there anything i should keep my eyes out for?
[11:28] <dystopianray> SplashTK: I don't know then, ati is fairly crap on linux
[11:28] <dystopianray> Dexter: there is no root password
[11:28] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx errr usb and devices and playstation for example
[11:28] <dystopianray> Dexter: use sudo
[11:29] <SplashTK> dystopianray, Mmm, yes, it said something like "VerSync needs list of numbers bla bla"
[11:29] <Dexter> aha
[11:29] <dystopianray> SplashTK: well just use the livecd as is for now, it's not really supposed to be fiddled with, it's only temporary
[11:29] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_:nothing out of the ordinary. i see the device being recognized (i just restarted) as a USB HID v1.00 Joystick
[11:30] <Red_Tide> so I take it I need to install the ati proprietary binary but can that do beryl?
[11:30] <SplashTK> kk
[11:30] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx ok - so you can see its being recognised
[11:30] <CoRnJuLiOx> eys
[11:30] <CoRnJuLiOx> yes*
[11:30] <ikonia_> Red_Tide ubotu sent you apm on the subject
[11:31] <dystopianray> Red_Tide: the binary driver can't do aiglx, you'll need to use xgl
[11:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: but whenever i try to configure in padjoy, it looks like it gets the device file opened, but doesn't receive input
[11:31] <kraut> moin
[11:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> it returns a "no usable input received" error in the terminal
[11:31] <ikonia_> the device id has probably changed
[11:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> you know, this actually worked yesterday morning.
[11:31] <ikonia_> I do know, you told me
[11:31] <Dexter> it worked
[11:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> ironically, it happened just as i was posting to ubuntuforums
[11:32] <CoRnJuLiOx> i have no clue as to what i did. maybe it was loading xpad?
[11:32] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx I've given you pointers on where and what to look for. What device ID is it currently using ?
[11:32] <CoRnJuLiOx> is there any way to tell if the device changed addresses?
[11:33] <ferronica> dystopianray: how to login as root to mount Window HDD???
[11:33] <CoRnJuLiOx> the device address, is it this -->... [HID 0925:8866]  ...
[11:34] <dystopianray> ferronica: use sudo
[11:34] <ikonia_> ferronica you've been told 6 times now
[11:34] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: is it this? [HID 0925:8866]
[11:34] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx no I mean what unix device file is it using
[11:34] <Dexter> 10x :) dystopianray
[11:34] <Dexter> nick dexterddit
[11:35] <Dexter> ups :)
[11:35] <Dexter> sry
[11:35] <CoRnJuLiOx> iknoia_: /dev/input/js0
 iknoia_: /dev/input/js0
[11:35] <ikonia_> oops
[11:35] <rasputnik> hi all
[11:35] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx ok - so 1.) check that file exists, and the status of it, 2.) Check the sylog to see if it still believes its using that device 3.) check for other jsX devices to see if any new ones have been created
[11:35] <rasputnik> last time i was in here, someone mentioned a version of the edgy cd that supported LVM installs. anyone know where it is?
[11:36] <ikonia_> rasputnik I think either the server or alternate cd supports it
[11:36] <rasputnik> ikonia_: thanks. does server still have gnome?
[11:36] <ikonia_> rasputnik not by default but you can install it from the repo
[11:37] <rasputnik> ok, maybe alternate is a better bet (we're converting an existing debian install which is lvm based). where to is that?
[11:37] <ikonia_> rasputnik its on the ubuntu site......along with every other ubuntu image
[11:37] <ikonia_> rasputnik I'm not sure if its the alternate OR the server cd that supports LVMthough
[11:38] <rasputnik> ikonia_: I'll figure it out (will dummy-run it in vmware first)
[11:38] <rasputnik> thanks
[11:38] <ikonia_> rasputnik ok
[11:42] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: i did #1 using 'cat /dev/input/js0' and 'od -xw8 /dev/input/js0' and getting back random characters (values in the case of od), the syslog doesn't seem to report anything other then finding the device, the last thing listed in dmesg is about a hdd error and in the system log its from gconf, and  and i don't see any other jsX devices in the /dev/input folder.
[11:43] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx looks like the pad configuration software is having an issue then
[11:43] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx try rebooting (lame I know)
[11:43] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: i just came from a reboot
[11:43] <CoRnJuLiOx> would trying a different port help?
[11:43] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx no idea, never used the PS2 pads
[11:43] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx you could try it
[11:44] <g0su> buenos dias
[11:44] <CoRnJuLiOx> ikonia_: its actually a PS1
[11:44] <CoRnJuLiOx> pad
[11:44] <ikonia_> CoRnJuLiOx ok- never tried a PS1 pad
[11:44] <CoRnJuLiOx> they rock :-O i just wish it worked.
[11:45] <SoftIce> root@fs:/etc/squid# hdparm /dev/hdc
[11:45] <SoftIce>  IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
[11:45] <SoftIce>  HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[11:45] <SoftIce> hmm, why is my drive using 16 bit support?
[11:45] <ikonia_> SoftIce is hdc not your cdrom ?
[11:46] <SoftIce> good question

[11:46] <ikonia_> SoftIce we saw you the first time
[11:46] <SoftIce> everything is using 16 bit :(
[11:46] <SoftIce> no this is hda
[11:47] <SoftIce> not hadc
[11:47] <ikonia_> I know
[11:47] <SoftIce> hdc
[11:47] <SoftIce> now if I start to run my pbx on this system, its going to get allot of dropped frames
[11:47] <SoftIce> any idea what the work around is, without manually compiling a kernel ?
[11:48] <ikonia_> why would you re-compile a kernel for that ?
[11:48] <acuster> hey all, is there a way to reset the dkpg selections to only those packages which are currently installed
[11:48] <acuster> ?
[11:49] <SoftIce> well it def doesn't sound like it has support for my controller
[11:49] <xipietotec> I installed blosxom....but how the hell do I *start* it?
[11:49] <z0rz> Someone say my name please - I'm testing irssi
[11:49] <deadeyes> hi all
[11:49] <keegan> zorz
[11:49] <SoftIce> ye, say my name baby
[11:49] <AliceD> Z0rz
[11:49] <ikonia_> SoftIce so recompiling the kernel won't fix that
[11:49] <z0rz> thanks
[11:49] <z0rz> It works.. wahoo
[11:49] <deadeyes> I want to create a gateway with one interface ... I use an alias eth0:0 and eth0
[11:49] <SoftIce> ikonia: why not ?
[11:49] <xipietotec> it doesn't show up in deskbar, and typing blosxom in the terminal says command not found
[11:49] <deadeyes> is this possible?
[11:49] <SoftIce> I would load the correct controllers
[11:49] <ikonia_> SoftIce well recopiling the kernel won't change the support of it
[11:50] <ikonia_> SoftIce if you didn't have support - you wouldn't be able to see it
[11:50] <SoftIce> ikonia: well do you mean, ubuntu uses a generic kernel, not everything is compiled into kernel
[11:50] <shadeofgrey> hey
[11:50] <ikonia_> SoftIce no but all are built as modules
[11:50] <lasking> aha  11m later   feisty upgrade8-)
[11:51] <shadeofgrey> has life gotten any easier for those of us running intel macs looking fior the ease of installation resderved for the pc folks?

[11:54] <orange1> someone say my name to test out sounds
[11:54] <rasputnik> deadeyes: page up/down
[11:55] <rasputnik>  /whois orange1
[11:55] <rasputnik> haha
[11:55] <orange1> didnt work
[11:55] <deadeyes> rasputnik: it goes to the router
[11:55] <deadeyes> and I have 2 subnets
[11:55] <sunkiss> hi all
[11:55] <AliceD> orange1
[11:55] <shivraj> can anyone tell me if i create a new irc chat room how to set  a welcome message into it
[11:56] <rasputnik> deadeyes: don't think you can have an alias on a different subnet to the main ip
[11:56] <orange1> interesting - it displays the highlighted msg near startbar
[11:56] <deadeyes> rasputnik: it goes to the router
[11:56] <deadeyes> and I have 2 subnets
[11:56] <rasputnik> orange1: mine didn't start with your name
[11:57] <rasputnik> deadeyes: I heard you the first time. you're still a crazy person.
[11:57] <sunkiss> anyone awailable to answer some questions?
[11:57] <tkp> how do  get mkfs.vfat for Edgy?
[11:57] <tkp> I*
[11:57] <dystopianray> tkp: should come by default
[11:57] <wyndblade> anyone know why I'd get a inotify error on a custom kernel build, and what I need to enable?
[11:57] <deadeyes> rasputnik: it goes to the router
[11:58] <predaeus> !ask | sunkiss
[11:58] <ubotu> sunkiss: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:58] <tkp> dystopianray: I don't have it... I have a load of other fstypes, but not vfat
[11:58] <lasking> whos mac?
[11:58] <deadeyes> oops, sorry, thought I was out of the channel:s
[11:58] <dystopianray> tkp: dosfstools
[11:58] <SoftIce> ikonia: ok what do you suggest, this is the 4th box that has run as 16 bit?
[11:58] <rasputnik> deadeyes: yes. i got it. you can't have eth0:1 on a different subnet to eth0 . it won't work.
[11:58] <SoftIce> yet I can setup freebsd and it works fine
[11:58] <ikonia_> SoftIce not sure, my hard disks are at 32 bit
[11:58] <deadeyes> rasputnik: I already did that I think, at home once
[11:59] <sunkiss> okay, I have downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 but whan I want to boot from the cd it loads 95% and blanks out
[11:59] <tkp> dystopianray: cool.. got it now. Thanks
[11:59] <ikonia_> SoftIce just doing some researhc
[11:59] <deadeyes> rasputnik: well, they have the same subnet
[11:59] <deadeyes> but other network
[11:59] <sunkiss> I have Abit fatality mainboard, 3 gigs intel proc ati x700 vid 1 gis of ram
[11:59] <deadeyes> it's just for testing purposes
[11:59] <sunkiss> looks like a video problem
[11:59] <SusanD> Hi!
[12:00] <rasputnik> deadeyes: now i'm confused - if they have the same subnet mask, they're on the same subnet. if there's only 1 NIC, they're on the same ethernet network.
[12:00] <sunkiss> but dos not give me any options to change the boot settings
[12:00] <rasputnik> s/subnet mask/network address/
[12:00] <CoRnJuLiOx> between evoulution mail and thunderbird mail, which do you prefer?
[12:00] <deadeyes> rasputnik: indeed, they are on the same subnet, and the same physical network
[12:01] <deadeyes> but different network (<IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>)
[12:01] <rasputnik> deadeyes: that's what I mean by subnet.
[12:03] <tkp> I'm following these instructions (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/12/usb-ubuntu-tutorial-for-linux-users/) for using Egdy to setup pendrivelinux...
[12:03] <tkp> I'm on step 9
[12:03] <tkp> "Once the download has finished, use the Archive Manager to extract the contents of the zip your USB partition."
[12:03] <deadeyes> have put another cable into it
[12:03] <tkp> what is the "Archive Manager"
[12:03] <mike1o> !sane
[12:03] <ubotu> sane: scanner graphical frontends. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.14-1 (edgy), package size 103 kB, installed size 324 kB
[12:03] <jrib> tkp: double click on your zip file, or just right click > extract here
[12:04] <deadeyes> but some guys told me it should be possible... and they really know linux. problem is that they arent here
[12:04] <rasputnik> deadeyes: are we on the same page? you said '. I use an alias eth0:0 and eth0
[12:04] <tkp> oh I see... I'm in a console
[12:04] <mike1o> is it possibile to use a TWAIN scanner?
[12:04] <jrib> tkp: archive manager is a gui program though.  Just use 'unzip' if you are in a shell
[12:04] <tkp> jrib: right
[12:04] <rasputnik> eth0:0 and eth0 are the same nic. how can you plug two cables into the same nic??
[12:04] <pramso> quite
[12:05] <SusanD> can someone help me? I had vista on a partition but then I killed it for ubuntu, but when I restarted to boot ubuntu, the vista boot loader was still there.

[12:05] <deadeyes> rasputnik: no you can't but that does not matter

[12:05] <nimo> hiiii

[12:17] <robdeman> hi folks. I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server on a server with software raid1. The strange thing i sthat the machine freezes for a short while once every minute or so. So when I enter commands in the terminal for example, the machine freezes just half way before continueing.But also loading a webpage from the apache server shows the same 'freezing' behaviour. Any idea what could cause this?
[12:18] <pramso> -robdeman maybe wrong graphics card
[12:18] <Dean> Hello
[12:19] <Dean> i need some help, anybody here?
[12:19] <robdeman> prasmo: its built into the server. also I have no XServer, its Terminal only.
[12:19] <Amit``> i m having celeron 1 gz and 128 ram , will ubuntu work fine on my system or have to increase my system'z ram ?
[12:19] <Amit``> please help :)
[12:19] <spikeb> Amit``, need more RAM, or use Xubuntu
[12:19] <dystopianray> Amit``: you'd probably want more ram regardless
[12:20] <Dean> i currently use Windows XP, i would like to install Ubuntu without deleting anything, and i would like windows XP to stay active - for now. how can i just -try- ubuntu?
[12:20] <Amit``> okay so any other distributon which will work fine for kind of hardware i m having ?
[12:20] <spikeb> Dean, you can run it off the liveCD, or you can ask the installer to resize your XP partition and install ubuntu on some free space
[12:20] <Dean> please help me..
[12:20] <spikeb> Amit``, Xubuntu will work great :)
[12:21] <Amit``> thankx :0 is it come with fluxbox
[12:21] <wyndblade> Dean, just grab the 6.10 install cd, it won't install unless you tell it to, but you can see what it's like
[12:21] <spikeb> Amit``, comes with XFCE
[12:21] <spikeb> Amit``, you could also try damn small linux :)
[12:22] <dystopianray> damn small linux is horrible, still stuck on linux 2.4
[12:22] <Dean> i saw many videos about it... and i want to try it out, isn't it possible to have both operating systems installed?
[12:22] <spikeb> never used it myself, just know it's small
[12:22] <spikeb> Dean, yes it is
[12:22] <dystopianray> Dean: as already stated, you can resize your XP partition and install ubuntu alongside windows
[12:22] <Dean> how? ><
[12:22] <Dean> (it's not just my comp. my whole family uses it.)
[12:22] <spikeb> Dean, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[12:22] <Dean> thank you.
[12:23] <Pici> Dean: The installer CD will walk you through it
[12:23] <spikeb> you bet! :)
[12:23] <spikeb> brb folks
[12:23] <highvoltage> is ubuntu doing any strange scsi emulation these days? my one laptop has standard IDE disks, but they get mounted as /dev/sda1, sda2, etc
[12:23] <Dean> thank you. i will try.. anyway, i don't have a CD. is it possible to get one in israel? (i know i can just download it somewhere, but a CD would be much better)
[12:23] <Amit``> spikeb thankx :)
[12:24] <Dean> oh
[12:24] <dystopianray> highvoltage: your laptop's ata controller presents pata discs as sata to the OS
[12:24] <Dean> i see i can download it
[12:24] <highvoltage> I also get timeouts on the hard disk every now and then (sorry, I don't have an error mesage atm)
[12:24] <Dean> nevermind hehe
[12:24] <Dean> Cya's for now. thanks alot!
[12:24] <highvoltage> dystopianray: strange, just before upgrading to feisty, Ubuntu detected it as /dev/hda
[12:24] <dystopianray> highvoltage: what do you mean by 'timeout' and you will need an error message for any serious help
[12:24] <highvoltage> dystopianray: I understand
[12:24] <dystopianray> highvoltage: oh! feisty is using the libata drivers, so pata drives now appear as /dev/sd*
[12:24] <dystopianray> highvoltage: if these t
[12:25] <B|atch> dystopianray: thanks im using ubuntu now
[12:25] <highvoltage> dystopianray: ah, ok. that's more helpful
[12:25] <dystopianray> highvoltage: if these 'timeouts' only just started occuring, then it's likely a libata regression

[12:27] <B|atch> dystopianray: changing resolv.conf didn't help so i had to go to System>Administration>Networking and tweak host and dns then only my wireless work
[12:27] <dystopianray> B|atch: oh yeah, well good that it's working
[12:27] <B|atch> dystopianray: you help me on my dlink wireless card moments ago?
[12:27] <TytCom> hey people...
[12:27] <dystopianray> B|atch: yes I remember now
[12:27] <dystopianray> B|atch: that must have been like 2-3 hours ago
[12:28] <TytCom> i'm about to dualboot (i currently have winXP) Ubuntu, will all my files be deleted?
[12:28] <dystopianray> B|atch: personally, if I were you i'd install third party firmware (I have done so to my wrt54gs) and just use dhcp with static dhcp leases
[12:28] <dystopianray> TytCom: shouldn't be, unless you screw something up during the install
[12:28] <B|atch> dystopianray: yeah i had to figure out how to use sudo to configure resolv.conf and i took a nap thats why it took a longer time :)
[12:28] <TytCom> ok..
[12:28] <TytCom> thank you :)
[12:28] <TytCom> bye bye now. :)
[12:29] <B|atch> dystopianray: where can i get the third party firmware? cause my connection in ubuntu is much slower than when im using XP..
[12:29] <marcagio> hello dear Ubuntu people! i changed the resolution to watch a movie with my TV-out (which didn't work 'Cause i can't seem to set my TV as primary display)... anyways when I came back to my 1280X800 (widescreen laptop).... all the menu stuff screwed up and I can't move 'em back to what they were... I got a screenshot if you wanna see...
[12:29] <dystopianray> B|atch: what model is your wrt54g?
[12:29] <dystopianray> B|atch: it's not a v5 or v6 is it?
[12:30] <B|atch> v5
[12:31] <dystopianray> B|atch: ah, so you have the crippled model, hrrm, third party firmware is not a very good idea then
[12:31] <pramso> g
[12:32] <xptical> Hi all.  I have a bit of a clock problem.  DATE is showing local time.  I want it to display UTC.
[12:32] <CoRnJuLiOx> when plugging in USB devices, can the 'string descriptor 0 read error: -32' errors be ignored or are they something to worry about?
[12:32] <B|atch> dystopianray: what? the crippled model. gosh
[12:32] <dystopianray> xptical: 'DATE' ?
[12:32] <spikeb> i'm guessing dean got taken care of
[12:33] <xptical> if I type the command 'date', it lists the date and time
[12:33] <dystopianray> B|atch: your wrt54g is a crippld version of earlier models, probably runs vxworks instead of linux too, it only has half the ram and rom
[12:33] <B|atch> dystopianray: can i talk with you some other time. i got to go. Anyway thanks a bunch
[12:33] <xptical> and it's in EDT
[12:33] <xptical> I need it to display UTC
[12:33] <dystopianray> xptical: you just want to see UTC once, right now? or you want your system to have the utc timezone?
[12:34] <dystopianray> xptical: date -u
[12:34] <xptical> It's a webserver, I want it to be UTC with NTP so that my logs will be valid
[12:34] <dystopianray> xptical: ok, so just delete /etc/localtime
[12:34] <xptical> cat /etc/timezone returns Asia/Tokyo
[12:34] <dystopianray> xptical: why wouldn't your logs be valid without utc?
[12:34] <pramso> hej
[12:34] <xptical> Well, I work better on UTC anyway
[12:35] <xptical> :P
[12:35] <xptical> nice, now it's UTC
[12:37] <xptical> one more wuestion...about logging..    Can I delete these?
[12:37] <Administrator> #abiword
[12:37] <dystopianray> xptical: if you don't care about old logs, sure
[12:38] <Administrator> 123
[12:38] <xptical> well, I am running webalizer.  If it doesn't care, I don't either
[12:38] <dystopianray> xptical: logs are periodically rotated, so log.1.gz is the previous log file before the most recent rotation
[12:38] <xptical> and I don't think it does.
[12:38] <xptical> copy that
[12:39] <robdeman> cokhey folks is there any way to do a little performance test from the terminal?
[12:39] <robdeman> maybe theres some benchmarking tool?
[12:39] <dystopianray> cokhey?
[12:39] <billy> what's the name of that "post-it note" like applet?
[12:39] <kbrooks> billy, tomboy ?
[12:39] <marcagio> billy I use tomboy
[12:40] <billy> kbrooks: yeah, that's it.  I think I want that back up. thanks, marcagio
[12:40] <dystopianray> i got a block of post it notes from google today
[12:40] <rasputnik> robdeman: what do you want to benchmark? sorry just got back
[12:41] <bryanl> what is the name of the newer wireless network manager?  the name escapes me
[12:41] <robdeman> rasputnik: well I need to now if my machine performs well.  I have the idea that the machines freezes for a second once every while. Not sure exactly what is happening. Its Ubuntu 6.06 server LTS
[12:41] <robdeman> terminal-only
[12:41] <dystopianray> bryanl: network-manager?
[12:41] <Askar> How do I get new visualation plugins for totem?
[12:42] <dystopianray> robdeman: hdparm -tT /dev/blah will test hdd transfer rate
[12:42] <rasputnik> robdeman: 'bonnie' does your disks, but benchmarking isn't going to catch random lockups
[12:42] <bryanl> dystopianray: yup thats it... i just forgot to install before i tried to go wireless
[12:42] <robdeman> what could cause these lockups?
[12:42] <dystopianray> bryanl: you'll want to install network-manager-gnome or knetworkmanager
[12:42] <robdeman> it happens locally aswell as when using ssh
[12:42] <Nom-> Howdy :)
[12:42] <dystopianray> robdeman: does anyting appear in dmesg?
