[04:05] <davidrussell> i can't get 915resolution to start up before x
[04:05] <THX-1138> davidrussel - Linux is about sharing what you knoe

[04:07] <DanaG> Nope, then it recurses all my mounts -- brokenness ensues.

[04:10] <coulix> aiglx all work fine
[04:10] <Ge1> how coulix?
[04:10] <eXcentra> Lam_: you can try going to System > Preferences > font and tweaking it
[04:11] <THX-1138> roh_ - hm - It doesn't save it? it should I think. /etc/fstab is the file to edit when all else fails.
[04:11] <davidrussell> anyways i'm off to bed - thanks again for putting up with me :P
[04:11] <zebedee> THX-1138... Thankyou I will go to GRUB how to> :-)
[04:11] <davidrussell> i'll try again tomorrow
[04:11] <Yggdrasil> how can i monitor my dmesg thru tail -f ?
[04:11] <roh_> THX-1138, Yea when i reboot its gone and I have to do it again.
[04:12] <garface> i was trying to get the invidia drivers for my AMD64.  I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the latest drivers but when i went to install them an error occured, is there a better way
[04:12] <DanaG> Synaptic.
[04:12] <THX-1138> !fstab
[04:12] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions

[04:12] <sadoc> hi all!
[04:12] <coulix> Ge1 it was for 915, ubuntu wike aiglx for i915, but its the same for i930
[04:12] <Lam_> eXcentra: ok thanks
[04:12] <sadoc> please, I need support to configure accents (dead keys) in ubuntu 6.06
[04:13] <DanaG> Is there an easy way to analyze where all my hard drive space is going to?
[04:13] <roh_> THX-1138, Im more concerned with why it wouldnt save.
[04:13] <sadoc> use disk free
[04:13] <sadoc> or disk usage
[04:13] <fiveiron> is there a graphical app to configure a v4l tv-tuner?  and by configure, I mean adjust the color/brightness/saturation/etc
[04:13] <Yggdrasil> how can i monitor my dmesg thru tail -f ?
[04:13] <THX-1138> roh_ - It is i think supposed to save it. - hmm
[04:13] <Ge1> coulix: what exactly is aiglx? its not appearing in the repositories nor is it installed
[04:14] <frogzoo> Yggdrasil: tail -f /var/log/messages
[04:14] <DanaG> tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[04:14] <DanaG> messages seems to be something different.
[04:14] <LKRaider> Yggdrasil:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[04:14] <Yggdrasil> hmm..
[04:14] <DanaG> that last one is it.
[04:14] <Yggdrasil> well dmesg seems to be diffeertn from /var/log/syslog
[04:14] <DanaG> syslog.
[04:15] <THX-1138> Ge1 - It is an even fancier way to use transparency and animations of th open windows. - you tube shows a bunch of examples.   xgl or compiz do the same thing.
[04:15] <DanaG> (I just tested it by toggling wireless -- only the syslog shows this:
[04:15] <coulix> http://wiki.compiz.net/index.php/Aiglx/compiz_on_an_Intel_i915_video_card
[04:15] <DanaG> ipw3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On:
[04:15] <DanaG> Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work.
[04:15] <Yggdrasil> like if i cat var/syslog and i do dmesg i see didffrent stuff
[04:15] <Yggdrasil> strange..
[04:15] <coulix> the point for aiglx is that it will run smooth on a i810
[04:15] <coulix> it wont with xgl
[04:16] <JoseStefan> coulix, are you sure compiz is what he is looking for?
[04:16] <Zanth_> good day
[04:16] <Zanth_> is it possible to reinstall grub froma live cd?
[04:16] <roh_> Also I used the auto install from the i386 iso. Im curious how to recompile for my system.
[04:16] <Zanth_> so that it takes over the windows boot loader?
[04:16] <coulix> maybe not but thats what will convert his neighbors
[04:16] <Zanth_> I have an ubuntu drive, but windows enjoyed hacking it
[04:16] <THX-1138> coulix - I can get compmgr to work smoothly. xgl only seems to work for a few minutes at a time before locking up. - Alpha bleeding edge software to be sure.
[04:16] <Flannel> Zanth_: yes, heres a page:
[04:17] <LKRaider> Yggdrasil: I think dmesg filters syslog somehow

[04:17] <sadoc> please, i need help to set up accents in ubunut 6.06
[04:18] <coulix> near "hide all windows" for examples
[04:18] <Ge1> so... all i will need to do is install aiglx and my games shouldnt whine about 3d acceleraion?
[04:18] <chuckyp> conky flickers obviously
[04:18] <chuckyp> !accents
[04:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about accents - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:18] <coulix> Ge1 hum, well aiglx  + 3d in windowed mode doesnt work as far as remember.
[04:18] <roh_> I used the auto install from the i386 iso. Im curious how to recompile for my system.
[04:19] <coulix> in this case follow the tutorial but dont change your /gdm/gdm.conf
[04:19] <THX-1138> coulix - It sounds like you *maybe* have selected the weather widget for the taskbar without configuring it. - maybe right click on iy\t and configure?
[04:19] <Ge1> what? no windowed mode?
[04:19] <coulix> no, i mean use it, but dont start compiz
[04:19] <JoseStefan> coulix, is aiglx the only way to get 3d accel on intel?

[04:20] <coulix> THX-1138, haha no its different i know this one, there is two, on eon the top right , one bottom left near the hide all desktops.
[04:20] <chuckyp> roh_, what are you trying to do recompile what?
[04:20] <coulix> JoseStefan: i  am not sure
[04:21] <roh_> chuckyp, because ubuntu is currently compiled for an i386 and Im on a i686. Its runnin slow as crap.
[04:21] <JoseStefan> you guys are guiding him towards compiz, all he wants is 3d accel for his games
[04:21] <chuckyp> roh_, well you can just install the 686 kernel
[04:21] <THX-1138> coulix - i am easily confused. - sorry.(scratches head)
[04:21] <chuckyp> roh_, sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[04:21] <chuckyp> roh_, then reboot to the new 686 kernel
[04:21] <coulix> true but following the tutorial will give him 3d accell
[04:21] <roh_> chuckyp, No idea how that works. Any risks?
[04:21] <JoseStefan> chuckyp, linux-686 is better, it will include the restricted modules
[04:22] <chuckyp> roh_, no not if you don't delete the 386 kernel that will still be an option in grub bootloader.
[04:22] <chuckyp> roh_, err yeah linux-686
[04:22] <THX-1138> JosefStefan - Ah, good catch. - add fglrx driver for ATI and nvidia-glx  for nvidia
[04:22] <Ge1> ugh, is there anything easier for soemone who installed linux a day ago?
[04:22] <billybennett> Can someone help me figure out why I cannot mount a hard-drive I just added to my fresh ubuntu install?
[04:22] <Ge1> I was lucky to get internet working....
[04:22] <roh_> chuckyp, so I need to change that command line?
[04:22] <THX-1138> !videoacceleration
[04:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about videoacceleration - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:23] <JoseStefan> THX-1138, what about intel?
[04:23] <chuckyp> JoseStefan, ty I'm installing linux-686 now didn't know about that meta package
[04:23] <THX-1138> JosefStefan - Things change quickly, - 8 months ago there was no accel for intel. - no idea now.
[04:23] <chuckyp> roh_, no you can search for the package called linux-686 in synaptic  just install that
[04:24] <billybennett> Anyone know why I cannot mount a HD I just added to a new install of Ubuntu?  Its showing up that its present but I cannot mount or even open it
[04:24] <roh_> chuckyp, thanks man... this slowness is madening.
[04:24] <jrib> billybennett: what happens why you try to mount it?  What command are you issuing?
[04:24] <chuckyp> roh_, after its installed just reboot and it should default to the new kernel.  If it doens't work restart again and select the old 386 kernel
[04:24] <CarlFK> how do I generate a preseed file from an existing installed system?
[04:24] <billybennett> jrib, I was just right clicking and hitting mount
[04:25] <coulix> apparentlly the "..." comes with window list, pannel component
[04:25] <THX-1138> billybennett -  top taskbar menu "System" "Administration" "Disks" ??
[04:25] <billybennett> jrib, it says "error: device /dev/hdd1 is not removable" "error: could not execute pmount"
[04:25] <roh_> chuckyp, how can i check to make certain its using the new kernel at all?
[04:25] <coulix> uname -a
[04:26] <jrib> billybennett: this is in Disk Manager?
[04:26] <roh_> thanks coulix. I recognise that
[04:26] <chuckyp> roh_, after you reboot if you hit alt+f2 and type in uname -r it will display the kernel its running
[04:26] <kaitlyn> irawan: The errors were in that url I pasted.
[04:26] <billybennett> jrib, no just in "Computer"  inside disk manager its showing up but how do I browse in disk manager to see if its working
[04:26] <chuckyp> roh_, or type uname -r in a terminal
[04:27] <chuckyp> So anyone know of a good desktop system monitor?  Conky isn't working ot well for me its flickering.
[04:27] <jZed2> I mount my winXP in /etc/fstab according to wiki, root can see the mounted files, ordinary user has no perms :-(

[04:27] <brendonjt> hey there  does anyone here  use gnucash????
[04:27] <ralsheb> hi, my xorg.conf file shows a list of different resolutions but my ubuntu display s ettings only shows 1 (640X480) anyone got any ideas how i can fix this?
[04:27] <brendonjt> need some big help
[04:27] <kaitlyn> irawan: :)
[04:27] <chuckyp> roh_, njo problem if you have issues just ask herre.  What type of cpu are you using?
[04:27] <jrib> billybennett: click on the hard disk from the list on the left, then go to the partition tab.  Enter an Access Path that exists, and then press Enable
[04:27] <chuckyp> roh_, and the speed difference shouldn't be that noticible unless you have somewhat older hardware
[04:27] <roh_> chuckyp, p4 2.4 its old but it works.
[04:28] <roh_> chuckyp, Well i tried a different distro compiled for i686 and  noticed a large difference
[04:28] <chuckyp> roh_, yeah you definately want the linux-686 package then
[04:28] <chuckyp> roh_, and are you running dapper?
[04:28] <roh_> chuckyp, yes.
[04:28] <roh_> chuckyp, i believe so anyway

[04:41] <surgy> test
[04:41] <chuckyp> tokenbad, compile something
[04:41] <THX-1138> !ask what?
[04:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask what? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:41] <tokenbad> no...I have neverwinter nights installed...and trying to have it run...
[04:41] <THX-1138> j/k
[04:41] <SuperMiguel> how can i install a sound card
[04:41] <SuperMiguel> creative live24
[04:41] <tokenbad> and when do ./nwn or sudo ./nwn it gives me that error
[04:42] <apo11o> Is there anyone out there willing to help out a brand new Linux user?
[04:42] <thomas_> Grub question, am I supposed to be able to use the cp command inside the grub prompt?  I made a floppy with grub, but can't cp the files to the new /boot partition...  can anybody help me with this?
[04:42] <lupine_85> chmod a+x nwn ?
[04:42] <chuckyp> SuperMiguel, it didn't get detected automatically?
[04:42] <thomas_> I may be able to help
[04:42] <Lam_> why is it that ext3 doesn't require defragging?
[04:42] <SuperMiguel> nope
[04:43] <chuckyp> SuperMiguel, I would try searching the forums for someone else with the same sound card.  If not the wiki has a bunch of information about driviers for various devices.
[04:43] <frogzoo> Lam_: the driver takes care of it
[04:43] <thomas_> apollo, ask your question
[04:43] <tokenbad> chuckyp, I have neverwinter nights installed and gives that error when I try to run it...with ./nwn...and sudo nwn...thats the error I get
[04:43] <Lam_> frogzoo: so is it just a constant background process or is it not even required?
[04:43] <apo11o> I have been trying to use WPA encryption but Ubuntu wont let me...
[04:43] <frogzoo> !appdb > tokenbad
[04:44] <thomas_> with ssh?
[04:44] <frogzoo> Lam_: ext uses an algorithm that eliminates fragmentation - it's not a separate process, just how the file system runs
[04:44] <tokenbad> frogzoo, thanks but neverwinter nights was ported to linux
[04:44] <Lam_> frogzoo: ah ok thanks
[04:45] <chuckyp> tokenbad, are you trying to install it or did it work at one time?
[04:45] <Skwid_> hum
[04:45] <SuperMiguel> chuckyp: it did pick it
[04:45] <Tonren> To activate my wireless, I have to sudo modprobe bcm43xx.  Where should I put this command to make it happen on bootup?
[04:45] <SuperMiguel> but i have a 5.1 system
[04:45] <SuperMiguel> but just 2 speakers make sound
[04:45] <lontra> Tonren: /etc/modules
[04:45] <thomas_> sorry, i don't know much about wireless encryption
[04:45] <thin_> anything special i need to know about burning data dvd's?
[04:45] <chuckyp> SuperMiguel, hrm... I would definately search the forums then for someone else with that card.
[04:45] <DanaG> SuperMiguel: I have an Audigy
[04:45] <Skwid_> anyway to disable the shaking effect on menus etc in compiz ?
[04:45] <DanaG> and I have to set my apps to use all speakers.
[04:46] <tokenbad> chuckyp, it worked at one time...then had a problem with the driving becoming read only...so reinstalled os...ran fsck -f on the drive and remounted..and its working fine now...so then erased the nwn dir and did a reinstall...and thats when this error started
[04:46] <DanaG> Oh, and in the gnome-mixer, go to preferences and enable all the sliders.
[04:46] <SuperMiguel> DanaG: where can i find creative sound blaster drivers?
[04:46] <Tonren> lontra: thanks
[04:46] <DanaG> They should already be there.
[04:46] <apo11o> Another question, what the hell is this "sudo" stuff I've been hearing from Lunix'ers?
[04:46] <lontra> Tonren: np
[04:46] <Flannel> !tell apo11o about sudo
[04:46] <JoseStefan> !sudo > apo11o
[04:46] <apo11o> I mean Linux*
[04:46] <Skwid_> anyone ?
[04:47] <DanaG> SuperMiguel: The gnome volume thingy initially hides most of the sliders.
[04:47] <Tonren> Can anyone explain to me why the "allow-hotplug" directive in /etc/network/interfaces is significant?
[04:47] <raknam> hey, anyone know about setting up vmplayer? i'm trying to run a vm image and it says "could not open /dev/vmmon: no such file" Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded"  what is vmmon and how do i load it?
[04:47] <thin_> If I change all my drives to fat32 will I be able to read/write files across windows & ubuntu?
[04:47] <lupine_85> su -c with some gubbins
[04:47] <DanaG> If you want 2-channel audio cloned to all channels, that's the "front" "center" "rear" "surround and such
[04:47] <SuperMiguel> they are not :(
[04:47] <Tonren> thin_: There are ext3 drivers for Windows, just so you know
[04:47] <THX-1138> Tonren - usb dsl modems or nics?
[04:47] <Healot> thin_: yes;
[04:47] <DanaG> thin_: look up ntfs-3g
[04:48] <DanaG> on google
[04:48] <thin_> ext3???
[04:48] <Tonren> THX-1138: I have wireless and T1 ethernet on campus
[04:48] <SuperMiguel> i think is picking the integrated one
[04:48] <Tonren> thin_: ext3 is a common filesystem for Linux.
[04:48] <DanaG> I have 2 sound cards -- integrated and audigy.
[04:48] <DanaG> Go to  file -- change device
[04:48] <LKRaider> raknam: get vmware-player from synaptic
[04:49] <DanaG> In my case, the integrated is card 0 and my audigy is card 1.
[04:49] <SuperMiguel> DanaG: how can i install it?
[04:49] <thin_> ok, uh, personally I think windows is the dumbest piece of shit so I'd rather not install drivers for reading a new disk format
[04:49] <Healot> Tonren: ext2 IFS though
[04:49] <raknam> lkraider: i do have vmplayer installed, will that add anyting to the installation?
[04:49] <thin_> my installation of xp can't get anything right
[04:49] <Tonren> Healot: IFS?
[04:49] <thin_> so i'll try the fat32 thinkg
[04:49] <SuperMiguel> i jus hear 2 out of 5 speakers
[04:49] <DanaG> Well, open the gnome mixer and tell me what you see.
[04:49] <Healot> installable file system...
[04:49] <kaitlyn> irawan: Reading it now.  :)
[04:49] <apo11o> Look I found this "command" but dont know that the hell to do with it (sudo killall wpasupplicant)
[04:49] <Tonren> Healot: Oh.  Yes,  right.  It works with Ext3 too, though
[04:49] <surgy> anyone know a good avi to mpeg1 converter?
[04:49] <apo11o> Where am I supposed to type that in?
[04:49] <JoseStefan> thin_, you can read/write ntfs from linux
[04:50] <LKRaider> raknam: some vmware modules needs to be compiled for your kernel. the easier is to use the ubuntu supplied files
[04:50] <JoseStefan> thin_, but you have to install some packages for that
[04:50] <Tonren> JoseStefan: I thought it wasn't stable yet.
[04:50] <DanaG> SuperMiguel: gnome-volume-control
[04:50] <raknam> do they have windows?
[04:50] <SuperMiguel> i dont have gnome mixer
[04:50] <JoseStefan> I haven't revised the stableness in a while
[04:50] <Healot> yup... the ifs doesn't have journal writing feature of ext3 fs; so really, becareful with that ifs
[04:50] <SuperMiguel> im installin ir
[04:50] <SuperMiguel> installing it
[04:50] <DanaG> gnome-alsamixer is different, by the way.
[04:50] <thin_> JoseStefan: knoppix always would give me a very ver very strict warning whenever I tried to write to ntfs, are you SURE.....
[04:51] <DanaG> ntfs-3g is new.
[04:51] <SuperMiguel> it is good?
[04:51] <JoseStefan> thin_ you would have to check with the release notes of the various options
[04:51] <DanaG> Just different -- the volume-control is the one that gets added to the panel.
[04:51] <thin_> i think i'll stick with the fat32
[04:51] <Thinkl00p> How would I add sources for my synaptic package manager so i could install amsn, gmail notifier etc..
[04:51] <thin_> never experienced any of the ntfs benefits anyway
[04:52] <SuperMiguel> ntfs-3g
[04:52] <Tonren> Can anyone explain to me why the "allow-hotplug" directive in /etc/network/interfaces is significant?
[04:52] <SuperMiguel> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g??
[04:52] <raknam> raknam
[04:52] <DanaG> ntfs-3g is for read/write ntfs
[04:52] <DanaG> different topic -- for thin_
[04:52] <JoseStefan> Thinkl00p, there is a "repositories" option in synaptic, for doing that
[04:52] <thin_> ok, after all this ubuntu desktop guide reading i'll be so pissed if it refuses to boot on my system again :(

[05:14] <puff> While I'm at it, can we fix xterminal pasting in ubuntu? :-)
[05:14] <JoseStefan> tokenbad, ^^^
[05:14] <DanaG> kaitlyn: sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
[05:14] <surgy> is snes9x ported to linux?
[05:14] <puff> ^Ocean^: What do you mean by speed up?  There are a numberof settings you can tweak.
[05:14] <SuperMiguel> DanaG: so what can i do?
[05:14] <LKRaider> surgy: zsnes
[05:14] <varsendaggr> surgy, yes   i
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> surgy,  there are several Snes emulatoprs for linux.. and yes thts one of them
[05:14] <varsendaggr> ahhh
[05:15] <^Ocean^> puff: well all my Java apps run very slow
[05:15] <DanaG> Well, do you see sliders for things like "front" and "surround"?
[05:15] <^Ocean^> puff^ and take like 50% of my cpu
[05:15] <SuperMiguel> yep
[05:15] <JoseStefan> tokenbad, also, check the game install to make sure the files are readable by all
[05:15] <SuperMiguel> but they dont work :S
[05:15] <puff> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23405
[05:15] <varsendaggr> SuperMiguel, waht?
[05:15] <varsendaggr> what?
[05:15] <puff> ^Ocean^: what sort of java apps, and how are you running them?
[05:15] <varsendaggr> what doesn't work?
[05:15] <^Ocean^> example Mercury
[05:15] <puff> Are we talking about tomcat, webapps, or browser applets?
[05:15] <SuperMiguel> varsendaggr: i have a 5.1 set of speakers but i just hear 2
[05:16] <^Ocean^> a messenger client.
[05:16] <kaitlyn> DanaG: THANK YOU.  :)
[05:16] <DanaG> On my card, there are "PCM", "PCM "Center", and such
[05:16] <^Ocean^> and it runs, by a script for it i figure..
[05:16] <varsendaggr> hmm
[05:16] <puff> messenger?
[05:16] <puff> Hm.
[05:16] <puff> What version of java?
[05:16] <DanaG> Those are for true multichannel out -
[05:16] <^Ocean^> 1.4
[05:16] <puff> Well, you could start by upgrading to 1.5 and see if it speeds up.
[05:16] <puff> What messenger client?
[05:16] <DanaG> but the "Front" and "Center" and such are for 2-channel - to - 5.1-channel upmixing.
[05:16] <^Ocean^> its called Mercury
[05:17] <SuperMiguel> so what can i do?
[05:17] <^Ocean^> and is there an easy apt-get for 1.5 ?
[05:17] <DanaG> So for Xine, use plug:surround51
[05:17] <muhammad> heey i want to make a ghost image from my dapper i tried recently most of the progs that make images like part image gparted and some other ways and none of them succeeded any suggestion ?
[05:17] <puff> not as far as i know, though there may be in the future, Sun announced a couple weeks ago that they're going to modify the licensing to make it more open source friendly.
[05:17] <DanaG> Oh, and to unhide those sliders in the gnome-volume-control, go to edit -> preferences
[05:17] <puff> How did you set up java?  By default java maxes out at 64MB of memory.
[05:18] <SuperMiguel> So for Xine, use plug:surround51 how do i do that
[05:18] <DanaG> Whay player do you use?
[05:18] <^Ocean^> well i told java to give mercury more memory,   now it dont crash on me randomly
[05:18] <puff> Anybody know what's up with this?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23405
[05:18] <DanaG> I use kaffeine because it is the only one to work under XGL.
[05:18] <puff> I'm on an old ubuntu install, hoary IRRC.
[05:18] <SuperMiguel> do you want me to donwload that one
[05:18] <SuperMiguel> to see if it work?
[05:19] <DanaG> gxine should work too.
[05:19] <puff> yah, hoary.  is all support dropped for hoary or something?  I just want to install postgres.
[05:19] <Kyral> DanaG: just set the Xine engine to use OpenGL
[05:19] <puff> ^Ocean^: how much memory?
[05:19] <DanaG> gxine gets the menus corrupt too.
[05:19] <DanaG> But kaffeine is fine.
[05:19] <^Ocean^> 256
[05:19] <wtroche> can someone assist me with the flash plugin, I followed the directions from http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox but its not working for me
[05:19] <DanaG> You have to set the xine engine to advanced config mode, and set the correct number of channels.
[05:20] <THX-1138> DanaG - Do you know why XGL/Compiz would work for 2 mins then lock up the machine?
[05:20] <DanaG> Then somewhere will be the option to disable "downmix to 2 channels"
[05:20] <puff> ^Ocean^: okay, that should be plenty.  maybe try running it with the server JVM.
[05:20] <puff> How are you startin gup Mercury?
[05:20] <^Ocean^> hmm im not sure ..
[05:20] <DanaG> And for merely cloning 2-channel audio, that's a separate set of sliders in the gnome-volume-control.
[05:20] <^Ocean^> lol i type Mercury and it runs
[05:21] <puff> Well, let's start with this:  at some point you had an ubuntu box (I assume, otherwise why are we talking about this here).  You wanted Mercury. Mercury needs java.  What did you do?
[05:21] <^Ocean^> i did apt-get install jre1.4
[05:21] <^Ocean^> or something along thoes lines
[05:22] <puff> Uh....huh.
[05:22] <puff> I am skeptical.
[05:22] <puff> apt support for java sucks, mostly due to licensing/ideology conflicts.
[05:22] <^Ocean^> if i type java it says Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
[05:22] <puff> http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Ubuntu_Java_JRE/JDK_installation_with_java-package
[05:22] <JoseStefan> !java > ^Ocean^
[05:23] <puff> and then you installed mercury at some point, and told Mercury where to find java.
[05:23] <puff> And how did you up the java memory to 256MB?
[05:23] <^Ocean^> i modifyyed one of the mercury .lax files
[05:23] <|thunder> what is mercury ?
[05:24] <puff> |thunder: some sort of msn messenger client, written in java.
[05:24] <hyperb0lix> irssi or bitchx, anyone?
[05:24] <BHSPitLappy> hey
[05:24] <M-> puff, if you're using dapper, you can install the sun jre from multiverse.
[05:24] <JoseStefan> an ugly car brand from the ford empire
[05:24] <JoseStefan> :P
[05:24] <raknam> hey how do i make a terminal window transparent?
[05:24] <|thunder> puff, ahh. thx
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> hyperb0lix,  sirc ! :p
[05:24] <M-> -- without the hassle of using java-package.
[05:24] <BHSPitLappy> I have a wireless driver set up in ndiswrapper, and it detects the hardware finely. but modprobe ndiswrapper completely locks up the system
[05:24] <holycow> *sigh* time to turn off windows u pdates
[05:24] <puff> M- Yay!  I'm happy that Java support on ubuntu is getting better.
[05:24] <hyperb0lix> I will check it out!
[05:24] <apo11o> Hi, I just installed this GUI called (GUI for wpa_supplicant) and I'm not sure how to access it. What do I do now"
[05:24] <puff> Unfortunately, I'm on hoary.
[05:25] <puff> How dangerous is the upgrade?
[05:25] <holycow> how can anyone expect a 'production' system to autoupdate without providing for a testing / staging environment?
[05:25] <M-> puff, absolutely. You can even use add/remove to install it :)
[05:25] <holycow> damned redmond dummies
[05:25] <JoseStefan> puff, should be pretty stable
[05:25] <M-> puff, you can't go directly to dapper. You need to go to breezy first
[05:25] <puff> I'm thinking about upgrading mainly because of this issue:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23405
[05:25] <caseyomah_> I removed the CD/DVD from my repositories and now I can't install JRE, is there an online repository for JRE (1.4/5)?
[05:25] <holycow> M-, thats wrong
[05:25] <holycow> you can go directly to dapper if you want
[05:25] <puff> Okay, so I have to do it intwo stages, but how safe is it?
[05:25] <holycow> its no big deal, there are no intermediary dependencies in linux
[05:25] <puff> I've had some... unpleasantness in apt upgrades in the past.
[05:25] <JoseStefan> holycow, that method is not officially supported
[05:26] <holycow> you just need to make sure ALL your dependencies are installed
[05:26] <puff> How involved a process is it?
[05:26] <M-> holycow, well, it didn't work for me on amd64 - ran into issues with inittools dependencies
[05:26] <kameron> anyone use proftpd?
[05:26] <apo11o> GUI for wpa_supplicantHi, I just installed this GUI called (GUI for wpa_supplicant) and I'm not sure how to access it. What do I do now?
[05:26] <JoseStefan> !upgrade > puff
[05:26] <holycow> and check for missing packages as not everything is 'replaced'
[05:26] <holycow> JoseStefan, what is officially supported?
[05:26] <holycow> JoseStefan, has anyone here actually paid for support?
[05:26] <M-> IIRC, dapper inittools won't install properly if you're running < 2.6.12
[05:26] <JoseStefan> holycow, step-by-step
[05:26] <krazykit> any reason that ubuntu's evince doesn't support comic files?
[05:26] <JoseStefan> holycow, i mean, skipping versions might break
[05:26] <holycow> don't listen to them.  its fine.  there is  no technical difficulty to dist-upgrading
[05:27] <JoseStefan> holycow, the wiki clearly states skipping is not advised
[05:27] <holycow> there is no such thing as 'officially supported' unless you are buying support from canonical, which last time i checked is on a case by case basis
[05:27] <THX-1138> holycow - got to hope they have a solid business model. - Ubuntu is awesome. (crosses fingers)
[05:27] <holycow> fixing anything that borks is par for the course, ubuntu upgrades have never been fully smooth
[05:27] <apo11o> Hi, I just installed this GUI called (GUI for wpa_supplicant) and I'm not sure how to access it. What do I do now?
[05:27] <aSt3raL> should i get rid of the old kernels in grub?
[05:27] <holycow> THX-1138, they do, we are planning on buying support, all our systems are going ubuntu
[05:28] <apo11o> Can anyone helo me?
[05:28] <aSt3raL> i always use the most recent one

[05:28] <caseyomah_> Is there an online depository for Java?
[05:28] <THX-1138> holycow - Whew! - grin - doubtful that the 30 bucks i left them will even cover the bandwidth i used. - lol
[05:28] <JoseStefan> holycow, puff: please realize that the wiki does not contain any guide for hoary to dapper

[05:30] <AbortD> MBR?
[05:30] <THX-1138> AbortD - It won't unless the master boot record is overwritten. - just an empty entry to an even more empty former windows partition. eh?
[05:30] <AbortD> i think it's installed around my linux partition
[05:31] <AbortD> i want to delete windows
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> Time for some Grub/MBR 101 reading. :P
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> you can delete the partition. it should not affect grub
[05:31] <cvt|expert> i clicked a malicious link and now everytime i maximize and minimize firefox the window is very small. what do i need to edit?
[05:31] <AbortD> gonna log into windows and go into partition magic
[05:31] <adam> E: libapache-mod-choke: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1, what does it meen?
[05:31] <AbortD> well i'll be back in a few have fun
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  the link resized your firefox window?
[05:32] <THX-1138> AbortD - The alternate intall CD has a rescue mode if you decide you need it. - tho, grub can be reinstalled without too much fuss from the command line ask ubotu about !grub if you need it.
[05:32] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  yes.
[05:33] <phate> is there a config file for powernowd? it is stepping my processor to much and I want to change that

[05:33] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  perhaps hit F11 to fullscreen the browser..   or close it out compeletely.  YOu are using gnome as your window manager?
[05:34] <^Ocean^> uhhg how do i rename a file that starts with "-"
[05:34] <adam> irawan: i am new to this whole linux things so how do i do that
[05:34] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  kde.
[05:34] <irawan> adam: it may means that that package you downloaded is broken
[05:34] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  that fixed it.
[05:35] <phate> ^Ocean^: rm-rf '-<whatever>' iirc
[05:35] <M-> ^Ocean^, ignore phate

[05:36] <^Ocean^> mv: invalid option --
[05:36] <^Ocean^> gives me that
[05:36] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  the link actually made my browser move away from my pointer and made firefox continue to open new urls of the same link until it crashed
[05:36] <M-> ^Ocean^, what did you type, exactly?
[05:36] <xyazabix> can anyone help me with an istall of plesk??? trying to run the autoinstaller
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  i am reminded of why i have scripting disabled with the 'noscript' extension

[05:38] <hyperb0lix> Hmm, some channels chop off the x in my name
[05:38] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  do you know if there's a no script solution for konqueror?
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  no idea. i rarely use konq. for web surfing
[05:39] <hyperb0lix> Fluxbox ftw!
[05:39] <|thunder> aynone know why xgl/compiz would cause gnome to loose control of usb mouse sensitivity? It was working prior.
[05:39] <M-> ^Ocean^, arh, you need another couple of \s for the space (\ escapes special shell characters) -- i.e. mv \-\ best\ day.mpg blah.mpg
[05:40] <phate> xyazabix: plesk is also closed source, so unless you care to share (which is illegal) dunno how we can help
[05:41] <SuperMiguel> i need help with my speakers :(
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> i dont even know what plesk is.
[05:41] <xyazabix> phate: you can download for free... for one server
[05:41] <^Ocean^> im still getting -- invalid option
[05:41] <GutterPunk> Hi... people probably ask this a lot in here... What's the definitive howto on how to install and configure XGL? Cause I noticed packages are available using apt-get now
[05:41] <JoseStefan> ^Ocean^, just use quotes
[05:41] <GutterPunk> I'd like to install it the best (most straightforward) way
[05:41] <JoseStefan> ^Ocean^, mv "old" "new"

[05:43] <Ignacio> hi
[05:43] <puff> JoseStefan: This does not fill me with confidence :-(.
[05:44] <FluxD> GutterPunk I think that will be the "best" way you will probably get. Since its not meant for widespread use now.
[05:44] <JoseStefan> puff, you read the guide?
[05:44] <puff> Maybe I should wait until the weekend to upgrade.  I'd hate to have to go through the next two days without ubuntu.

[05:48] <SuperMiguel> is sudo apt-remove xxx?
[05:48] <FluxD> wtroche the way I got it to work was just install the one from adobe site for linux
[05:48] <JoseStefan> puff, there is a trick to just download the stuff, without installing
[05:48] <GutterPunk> LKRaider, that looks great
[05:48] <GutterPunk> thanks
[05:48] <LKRaider> :)
[05:49] <wtroche> FluxD, thanks I will try that, is it a deb file or do I need to complile it
[05:49] <FluxD> I think it as deb
[05:49] <wtroche> thanks :)
[05:49] <FluxD> wait
[05:49] <FluxD> tar.gz :(
[05:49] <JoseStefan> puff, using the "-d" option with dist-upgrade
[05:49] <puff> hm, I keep getting 404 not found with aptitude... did something change with the apt servers?
[05:50] <iceman24k> anyone know why firefow would fail to fully open webpages
[05:50] <wtroche> oh bummer
[05:50] <FluxD> well I still installed it somehow
[05:50] <JoseStefan> puff, have you done: sudo apt-get update ?
[05:50] <FluxD> I dont rember compiling at all
[05:51] <FluxD> btw LKRaider is there one for non ati and nvidia cards?
[05:51] <LKRaider> FluxD: I am not aware of any, sorry :(
[05:52] <Tonren> What's a good music authoring program for Linux, like GarageBand, Jeskola Buzz or Reasons 3?
[05:53] <johnstar> audacity
[05:53] <varsendaggr> Tonren, lmms
[05:53] <FluxD> anyone have any idea on how I can make a program run automatically on startup?
[05:53] <varsendaggr> audacity,   rosegarden
[05:53] <varsendaggr> FluxD, what wm?
[05:53] <FluxD> gaim
[05:53] <varsendaggr> are we talking gnome of fluxbox?
[05:54] <FluxD> ??
[05:54] <bruenig> FluxD, put it in the gnome startup programs
[05:54] <effer> honestly, how well does an ipod work with linux? (before i buy one for my girlfriend)
[05:54] <FluxD> bruenig: Where is that?
[05:54] <Tonren> varsendaggr: Thanks man.  Any other ones you know of, or is lmms unmatched in awesomeness?
[05:54] <wtroche> FluxD, thanks that did the trick
[05:54] <bruenig> FluxD, System>Preferences>Sessions, then navigate to the startup programs tab, then put the command
[05:54] <FluxD> np wtroche
[05:54] <johnstar> ipod works ok
[05:55] <johnstar> at least the ver 4 I have
[05:55] <DanaG> Argh, my MIDI is b0rked.
[05:55] <johnstar> shuffle works best
[05:55] <effer> johnstar, as in, its easy to transfer music to it from your personal library?
[05:55] <DanaG> It plays for a while, but then one or all of the channels freezes.
[05:56] <johnstar> ya apt-get gtkpod
[05:56] <bruenig> sudo apt-get install gtkpod
[05:56] <FluxD> ty bruenig
[05:56] <effer> well i haven't got the ipod yet....my gf wants one, and she wanted me to make sure it would run well with her ubuntu installation
[05:57] <puff> JoseStefan: Damn, I'm rusty.  Been doing a contract in corporate america, a _bank_, ugh, very restrictive firewall.
[05:57] <johnstar> you need the gtkpod-aac
[05:57] <bruenig> effer, yeah something that popular, you have to know it is going to be available to be used with linux
[05:57] <puff> JoseStefan: That fixed it.
[05:57] <puff> JoseStefan: Thanks.
[05:57] <FluxD> can ubuntu "communicate" with my windows partition?
[05:57] <johnstar> sudo apt-get install gtkpod-aac
[05:57] <effer> bruenig, i agree...i told her i was sure it was, but she wanted me to make sure (before we spend the money on one)
[05:57] <varsendaggr> Tonren, getting music and audio working together in linux can be a frusteration deal.   you should look at ubuntustudio
[05:57] <johnstar> the other doesent support m4a
[05:58] <bruenig> FluxD, although your question is unclear, I will say yes
[05:58] <wd3>  installed xfce for ubuntu last night, just turned on system and my background image is gone and the right mouse click menu is gone... help.
[05:58] <bddermn> Cn linux just drop some chrcters from the keybord or is it more likely tht my lptop keybord is bd?
[05:58] <Tonren> varsendaggr: Better for noobs than lmms?
[05:58] <varsendaggr> Tonren, i prefer ardour  and audacity to lmms   lmms is like fruity loops
[05:58] <darkbane> noob here...just saying hi
[05:58] <FluxD> bruenig I mean like transfer of files etc..
[05:58] <krazykit> bddermn: probably the keyboard.
[05:58] <JoseStefan> puff, so will you be upgrading today? or on the weekend?
[05:58] <Tonren> varsendaggr: Audacity is more for editing, rather than authoring, though
[05:58] <bruenig> FluxD, depending on what the filesystem is, ntfs or fat32, there are different abilities but I know that they can at least both be read
[05:58] <effer> wd3, you need to run something from term to restart it...but i can't remember
[05:58] <bddermn> thnks
[05:58] <varsendaggr> Tonren, if you can get the sound working    go with whatever
[05:59] <FluxD> mine is win xp pro sp2
[05:59] <Tonren> varsendaggr: hmm
[05:59] <krazykit> he left...
[05:59] <varsendaggr> ardour is good for authoring too
[05:59] <wd3> anybody know what effer forgot
[05:59] <wd3> effer, thanks
[05:59] <effer> wd3, i would ask in #fluxbox
[05:59] <FluxD> mine is win xp pro sp2 ntfs bruenig
[05:59] <Vanique> how to check how much space i have left on my hdd and stuff like that>
[06:00] <Vanique> ?
[06:00] <puff> JoseStefan: This weekend.
[06:00] <wd3> effer, this sound familiar?  alt+f2 -> xfdesktop
[06:00] <effer> wd3, yeah
[06:00] <beuno> Vanique:   df
[06:00] <effer> wd3, that might be it
[06:00] <cvt|expert> how do i trap all the quotes of a certain nick into a separate log?
[06:00] <bruenig> FluxD, would be easier if it were fat32, but you can read ntfs and there are some projects that allow you to write to it but they are "unstable" still
[06:00] <JoseStefan> puff, personally i prefer the apt-get methods
[06:00] <Vanique> thanks
[06:00] <wd3> effer,  what will keep it from leaving on shut off?
[06:00] <puff> JoseStefan:  my home internet connection has been flaky, I'll have to leave it a friend's house and use their connection.
[06:01] <puff> JoseStefan: For upgrading?
[06:01] <DanaG> Anyone know how  to fix midi?
[06:01] <effer> wd3, i'm not sure...i used to have the same problem occasionally
[06:01] <JoseStefan> puff: yes, the guides will usually describe more than 1 method
[06:01] <effer> wd3, but i run KDE now, so it's kinda hazy :P
[06:01] <varsendaggr> DanaG, you can look at the ubuntustudio project
[06:01] <DanaG> Well, it's a playback issue.
[06:01] <effer> wd3, i talked to you a long time ago about flux, under the name 'juztin', i believe
[06:01] <bruenig> FluxD, when I still dual booted the best way to exchange data was to make a seperate fat32 partition and any files I wanted to share, just keep on it
[06:01] <wd3> effer, fyi.... it works.
[06:02] <DanaG> Kmid and pmidi both freeze.
[06:02] <wd3> effer, juztin... hey man!
[06:02] <CharonX> Is there any fs type that may yield better performance then others in sw RAID0 ?
[06:02] <effer> wd3, what's up :D
[06:02] <bruenig> FluxD, or you can keep all the files you want to share on your ubuntu ext3 partition and get a windows drive that allows it to read ext3
[06:02] <bruenig> driver*
[06:03] <varsendaggr> FluxD, you should flush windows
[06:03] <AbortD> alright
[06:03] <FluxD> bruenig windows can read ext3 partition? I know partition manager by norton can show the files but dont know if transfer is possible
[06:03] <wd3> effer, private me
[06:03] <FluxD> varsendaggr lol
[06:03] <bruenig> FluxD, here is a link to the driver if you want to use the windows reading ext3 method http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html
[06:03] <DanaG> !ext2ifs
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2ifs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <DARKGuy> bruenig: excuse my intrusion - do you know one which does? I once tried one but it used to hang my windoze every now and then when accessing the driver
[06:03] <AbortD> if windows partition is in the boot boundary does that mean i cannot move my linux partition to that spot?
[06:03] <DARKGuy> *drive
[06:03] <DanaG> (ubotu should add that)
[06:03] <varsendaggr> FluxD, if you can give me a good reason i will let you leave this irc room without a black eye
[06:03] <DanaG> (and ntfs-3g)
[06:03] <bruenig> of course you will need to install that on your windows install
[06:03] <Vanique> gnite fellaz
[06:03] <Vanique> :)
[06:04] <FluxD> varsendaggr games
[06:04] <david1> anybody got qemu emulator working on dapper?
[06:04] <axisys> how do i force reinstall vmware player? i get this http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/7so55538.html
[06:04] <effer> wd3, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:04] <axisys> david1: i got it working
[06:04] <wd3> effer, ok
[06:04] <bruenig> DARKGuy, the windows drivers are supposed to be really stable as they are built on an SDK kit provided by microsoft specifically for writing filesystem drivers
[06:05] <axisys> !vmware > axisys
[06:05] <DanaG> ..anyone?
[06:05] <david1> axisys, I compiled it from source code OK but when I run it flips the graphics into a color pattern and freezes the machine hard
[06:05] <FluxD> varsendaggr no other reason other than that for which I use windows
[06:05] <AbortD> if windows partition is in the boot boundary does that mean i cannot move my linux partition to that spot?
[06:05] <DARKGuy> bruenig: Weird. I hope they've updated since I used it, 'cause it used to hang my system when acessing the drive :/ oh well :P
[06:06] <bruenig> DARKGuy, experiences for some do not denote experiences for all. Also, causation or correlation questions arise with your claims.
[06:06] <varsendaggr> i've been in bills house
[06:06] <FluxD> the one which took 6 years to make?
[06:06] <jaso1> i am trying to find the disks-admin tool in 6.10... did it disappear? what is the new program to manage disks
[06:06] <varsendaggr> lotsa houses take 6 years to make
[06:07] <david1> axisys, do you remember what instructions you followed? (I have Linux Journal article, and qemu website)
[06:07] <axisys> !qemu > david1

[06:09] <_priest> when configuring pxe boot in dhcpd.conf defining a group { hardware ethernet addr } is that of the dhcp server or the client you are trying to pxe?
[06:09] <jaso1> varsendaggr: 6.10... i will try the ubuntu+1 channel i iddn't know it existed
[06:09] <varsendaggr> jaso1, you tried to emerge a program?
[06:10] <jaso1> varsendaggr:  no.. i tried to apt-get install disks-admin
[06:10] <FluxD> this gnome xchat is missing a lot of features :(
[06:10] <jaso1> varsendagger:  old habits hard to break
[06:10] <bruenig> FluxD, don't do gnome xchat, just get the normal xchat
[06:11] <burnick> hi, sound was working last night....until today when i did a reboot can somebody help? pls ...gnome says no volume control GStreamer plugins and /or devices found
[06:11] <FluxD> do I need to uninstall it first?
[06:11] <bruenig> FluxD, do sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome, then sudo apt-get install xchat
[06:11] <FluxD> okies thanks bruenig
[06:11] <smax> hiya
[06:11] <Dace> FluxD: gnome in general is missing a lot of features ;)
[06:11] <FluxD> hehe
[06:11] <smax> gnome is nice
[06:12] <bruenig> gnome is minimalistic, kde is for kindergarteners
[06:12] <FluxD> some guy on digg.com was blabbing about that and kde
[06:12] <marcagio> I'm still setting up my Ubuntu here after a few days of hard work and i can't get my mp3s to play in any of the players i installed and i installed all the codecs and similar stuff from the synaptics :S
[06:12] <bruenig> there you go argument ended
[06:12] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> Anyone want to help me figure out my sound issues using a HD-Intel/ICH6/Sigmatel, alsamixer sees the card, and it worked when I first installed, but after the usual updates, I get no sound at all, there are a bunch of threads regarding this on the forums, but I haven't really found a fix besides one guy went ahead and compiled his own version of alsa, but his instructions on doing so are incomplete

[06:12] <DanaG> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop: I had the same issue.
[06:13] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> DanaG, The thing used to work perfect, :-/
[06:13] <DanaG> 1 possible fix: look at the snd-had-intel option "position_fix"
[06:13] <bruenig> ubotu: tell marcagio about restricted
[06:13] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> DanaG, when can I get more info about that?
[06:13] <DanaG> close all sound apps using that card, and sudo rmmod snd-had-intel
[06:13] <CharonX> marcagio, Can you play any other sounds on your computer ?
[06:13] <marcagio> I did try xmms... and what's the restricted page? you mean the one where it talks about non-free codecs?
[06:14] <DanaG> then try to sudo modprobe snd-had-intel position_fix=1
[06:14] <DanaG> or position_fix=2
[06:14] <bruenig> marcagio, the page that tells you how to install all of that stuff, mp3 support and others
[06:14] <marcagio> yes i hear the login and logout and the operating system usage sounds...
[06:14] <DanaG> ("all sound apps" includes the mixer tray thingy.)
[06:14] <bruenig> !restricted

[06:14] <marcagio> I did install everything they said there... I did all the commands in the terminal and the installations semmed to be fine
[06:14] <ClayG> anyone remember the common screen commands, dropping out of it, naming the individual screens, etc?
[06:15] <JoseStefan> ClayG, "man screen"
[06:15] <DanaG> If it works, add that to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:15] <DanaG> My case:  options snd-hda-intel  position_fix=1
[06:15] <ClayG> oh good idea, what about google? is that good also?
[06:15] <effer> lol
[06:15] <JoseStefan> sometimes ;)
[06:15] <ClayG> cool
[06:16] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> DanaG, hmm if I rmmod and then modprobe it works :-/
[06:16] <bruenig> marcagio, you installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly?
[06:16] <DanaG> Even without the option?
[06:16] <DanaG> Same for me.
[06:16] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ya
[06:16] <puff> well, g'night all.
[06:16] <DanaG> But the position_fix fixed it.
[06:16] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> even without the option
[06:16] <inc|freaky> hi all. im trying to get the ATI driver to work, but it keeps saying something like: (EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1) ... can someone help me?
[06:16] <bruenig> marcagio, open a terminal and do sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[06:17] <marcagio> yes bruenig I installed all of this
[06:17] <caseyomah_> It's saying that I can't find packages that show up in Synaptic because I removed the cd from sources.list I want to do online-only installs/upgrades (problem found with java runtime)
[06:17] <cvt|expert> i clicked a malicious link and now konqueror freezes. is my problem unique?
[06:17] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> DanaG, the option works also though
[06:17] <bruenig> marcagio, should work then
[06:17] <bruenig> marcagio, you aren't using 64 bit are you?
[06:17] <DanaG> Try adding the option to the config file and see if it works at reboot.
[06:17] <marcagio> uh... yeah I have a 64bit computer but installed the I386 still...
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert, given your history in here.. yes. :)
[06:17] <kkaisare> Does anyone know where I can find the w32codecs package? I tried downloading it from the URL in the ubuntu docs, but it is not found there.
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  you just going out and looking for these links?
[06:17] <poningru> !w32codecs

[06:18] <poningru> kkaisare: is that where you downloaded it from?
[06:18] <bruenig> kkaisare, google this filetype:deb w32codecs
[06:18] <kkaisare> poningru: I tried that. Like I said, it wasn't found.
[06:18] <smart61> Does anyone here have experience with an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad and getting Ubuntu to a) ignore the touchpad and b) understand the blue scroll button?
[06:18] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  no. it's the same link but i tested it in konqueror to see if it was specific to firefox
[06:19] <caseyomah_> "'Sun Java 5.0 Runtime' is not available in any software channel. The application might not support your system archetecture."
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  try opera yet? try Links? try Dillo...  :P

[06:20] <DanaG> ergh, too big, would flood -- gotta pastebin
[06:20] <DanaG> !pastebin
[06:20] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)

[06:21] <Toma-> caseyomah: oh, i didnt know Gaim came in CLI?
[06:22] <ClayG> Toma-: is it CLI?
[06:22] <effer> what is CLI?
[06:22] <caseyomah_> CLI?
[06:22] <Toma-> ClayG: certainly is. unlike gaim
[06:22] <ClayG> ok
[06:22] <marcagio> I wonder if I could find something to convert my works in OGG
[06:22] <ClayG> you answered my next question, lol
[06:22] <ClayG> thanks

[06:22] <ClayG> sorry
[06:22] <effer> ohhh
[06:22] <effer> durp
[06:22] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  one window multiplied to become many more than intended, it was out of control and it caused a crash and now it's negative effect is permanent.
[06:22] <caseyomah_> Okay, I don't think you can cli it...
[06:22] <ClayG> how about a tabbed cli browser?
[06:22] <cvt|expert> *its
[06:23] <ClayG> or is w3m tabbed?
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  thats the window manager rembering the window positions..
[06:23] <Toma-> ClayG: links2 has a gui, but no tabs
[06:23] <smart61> Does anyone here have experience with an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad and getting Ubuntu to a) ignore the touchpad and b) understand the blue scroll button?
[06:23] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  that's on firefox.
[06:23] <DanaG> Ignore touchpad?
[06:23] <ClayG> Toma-: could you gimme the name of that again?
[06:23] <Toma-> ClayG: you might wanna look at 'screen'
[06:23] <Toma-> ClayG: links2 has a gui, but no tabs
[06:23] <ClayG> sorry I'm coming in through ssh and
[06:23] <ClayG> im using screen
[06:23] <ClayG> i see what you mewan
[06:23] <Toma-> oh :)
[06:23] <ClayG> i was considering that fix
[06:23] <Toma-> screen + multiple lynx sessions could work
[06:24] <DanaG> Add the line      Option "SHMConfig" "on" to the synaptic device in xorg.conf
[06:24] <ClayG> loading multiple instances of the browser then just c-a n;ing them
[06:24] <DanaG> then install gsynaptic
[06:24] <Nallii> My older ubuntu CD (shipped to me) was acting up, so I burnt a new version CD. When I hit enter on "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it sits there and does nothing. Reburn?
[06:24] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  konqueror is freezing now.
[06:24] <AbortD> can anyone help me with partition magic?
[06:24] <kkaisare> poningru: Thank you. It seems to be working.
[06:24] <Toma-> centericq is the messenger
[06:24] <ClayG> Toma-: what is that IM client called again?
[06:24] <ClayG> gottcha
[06:24] <poningru> kkaisare: sweet
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  wow. :)
[06:24] <cvt|expert> that's an infection
[06:24] <Nallii> I tried Check CD for defects and it still was hanging up.
[06:24] <ClayG> Toma-: you mind spoon feeding me the keystroke to detach out of screen and reattach later?"
[06:25] <Toma-> no idea. dont use screen, ive got an ample PC
[06:25] <Toma-> :)
[06:25] <kkaisare> poningru: 13 MB download, just so I can watch a rmvb movie. :)
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,   you are the one purposly trying to  breaki things.. that makes you the infection. :P
[06:25] <effer> lol
[06:25] <Nallii> My older ubuntu CD (shipped to me) was acting up, so I burnt a new version CD. When I hit enter on "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it sits there and does nothing. Reburn?
[06:25] <ClayG> im liking this centericqw already without setting it up
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,  post the url/info the the kde/konqueror developers/bug reports site then.
[06:26] <effer> Nallii, did you burn a copy of the messed up cd, or did you download an ISO?
[06:26] <ClayG> just the initial screen looks rather thorough
[06:26] <Nallii> I downloaded an ISO
[06:26] <JoseStefan> cvt|expert, how can the effect be permanant?
[06:26] <caseyomah_> Nallii, Try the check for defeccts option.
[06:26] <Nallii> Hangs up
[06:26] <effer> Nallii, reburn
[06:26] <burnick> why does sometimes when i update something from ubuntu...something breaks...last time it was X..now sound...
[06:26] <cvt|expert> Dr_Willis,  then it must not be windows's fault but the users
[06:26] <Nallii> Go figure :P
[06:27] <JoseStefan> cvt|expert, you might have to remove (or rename) that browsers settings, on your home folder
[06:27] <effer> nallii, and md5 checksum
[06:27] <Nallii> Ok, thanks.
[06:27] <zoidberg> i have a school network folder that i can access in windows by typing an https address and my username and password....can i acces that here
[06:27] <effer> here?
[06:27] <zoidberg> well i meant in ubuntu
[06:27] <zoidberg> lol
[06:28] <DanaG> "Connect to network server" in gnome.
[06:28] <THX-1138> "d5sum" - linux     "filealyzer" & "d5summer" windows can help
[06:28] <THX-1138> md5sum
[06:28] <DanaG> er, "Connect to Server"
[06:28] <effer> :P
[06:28] <zoidberg> but where do i add the network place the address and all that stuff?
[06:29] <DanaG> First select what type it is.
[06:29] <lankster> so i downloaded vmware server from the vmware website and i tried to run 'sudo ./vmware-install.pl' but I get an error saying "A previous install of VMware software has been detected, Failure" but i totally uninstalled it from synaptic package manager, what should i do?
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> cvt|expert,   i think this has now crossed over into the 'beating a dead horse' catagory/
[06:30] <cvt|expert> [ad hominem category]
[06:30] <carthik> There's always #ubuntu-offtopic for dead horses and ad hominems
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> carthik,  and /ignore :P
[06:32] <THX-1138>  Why would XGL/Compiziz would work for 2 mins then lock up the machine?
[06:32] <inc|freaky> hi all. im trying to get the ATI driver to work, but it keeps saying something like: (EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1) ... can someone help me?
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> lankster,  theres a --purge option to apt-get remove that may of been needed
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> inc|freaky,  did you use the ones from the repos? or downloaded from atis site?
[06:33] <inc|freaky> i tried both
[06:33] <inc|freaky> same error
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> what kernel are you using?
[06:33] <FluxD> hmm I was tying to install a more recent version of xchaat and it said dependency is not sasfiable: xch-common what does that mean?
[06:33] <inc|freaky> im using edgy
[06:33] <caseyomah_> I installed clvm and can't get it to finish installing or remove.
[06:34] <chet> i have a file under session/startup, i can get into terminal, does anyone know where the file is located that contains these custo startup files?
[06:34] <inc|freaky> im using kernel: 2.6.17-7-generic
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> inc|freaky,  so you made your own kernel eh?
[06:34] <lankster> Dr_Willis so what would be the whole command to get rid of vmware player?
[06:34] <inc|freaky> Dr_Willis: no im using kubuntu edgy
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> lankster,  apt-get remove --purge whatever (i think)
[06:34] <Frey> ahoi ahoi newb question here.... following a guide and replaced the i386 kernel with amd64-k8 kernel was wondering if anyone could let me know what to change i386 in the following command to... "cp /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /boot/grub/" just to "amd64-pc"? or? thank you for the help
[06:34] <THX-1138> "which <executable-binary-filename>"    ???
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> inc|freaky,   sounds like the modules/kernel/drivers are not ageeing on the same versions. That oftenhappend with using the 'bleeding edge stuff'
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> sometimes when I use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and try to log back into gnome, it doesn't log in, any ideas? (I am able to get past the login screen but not the startup screen)
[06:35] <lankster> sweet thanks Dr_Willis
[06:35] <DanaG> Hmm, GigaHurtz didn't come back ...
[06:35] <inc|freaky> Dr_Willis: ok, and is there any way to fix it?
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> !edgy
[06:35] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[06:35] <inc|freaky> oh ok ^^
[06:35] <inc|freaky> thx
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> since i dont use edgy it may get fixed tomorrow... or next month. :)
[06:35] <DanaG> inc|freaky: Sounds like you have to compile fglrx-kernel-source
[06:36] <inc|freaky> it makes no diff. i tried both versions
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> or you just missed some littel detail. :P or theres some bugs
[06:37] <total_meltdown> Hey, does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for a DHCP server?
[06:37] <inc|freaky> i rebootet with both drivers and it just doenst work im currently using vesa as a temp. solution
[06:37] <total_meltdown> I'm trying to build a router
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> 'just doenst work'  --> heh - it would help is ya managed to get some error messges or other  logs.detilas as to what is not working. :)
[06:38] <THX-1138> !squid

[06:38] <DanaG> Edgy was broken for me -- Xgl crashed upon switching to text-mode console.
[06:38] <DanaG> Plus, usplash slaughtered my console.
[06:38] <total_meltdown> THX-1138: was that for me?
[06:38] <DanaG> s/slaughtered/corrupted
[06:39] <caseyomah_> I had multiverse off. Silly me.
[06:39] <zoidberg> guys im trying to connect to a school network....i type in the address ttps://baldwin.wabash.edu/oneNet/NetStorage....and then i select the HTPS server...i type in my username but there is no place to type in the password?
[06:39] <DanaG> Once you connect it will ask.
[06:39] <DanaG> make sure not to forget the h on https
[06:39] <THX-1138> total_meltdown. - nah just a memory refresher fgor me as it turns out. - grin
[06:39] <DanaG> (copy-paste error?)
[06:39] <zoidberg> i spelled it right when i typed it
[06:39] <total_meltdown> oh
[06:39] <zoidberg> the folder shows up on desktop but it says cannot conenct
[06:39] <zoidberg> ?
[06:39] <DanaG> My school gives me an SSH place.
[06:40] <Megaqwerty> sometimes when I use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and try to log back into gnome, it doesn't log in, any ideas? (I am able to get past the login screen but not the startup screen)
[06:40] <DanaG> In my case, I included folder and username (case-sensitive in mine), and port
[06:40] <zoidberg> can anyone help me out?
[06:40] <total_meltdown> zoidberg: try not putting in the https:// - if you select HTTPS as the option in configuring the folder, you shouldn't need it. For my FTP server, I just have "notsoandom.com" in the server box of the folder config
[06:41] <THX-1138> total_meltdown = netfilter iptables and firestarter may turn up something.
[06:41] <THX-1138> sounds like bridging
[06:41] <Megaqwerty> anyone?
[06:42] <DanaG> total_meltdown: Also try smoothwall or monowall -- no personal experience, but I hear they're both good.
[06:42] <total_meltdown> THX-1138: It is. I'm trying to build a reverse wireless router so-to-speak
[06:42] <DanaG> Right?
[06:42] <DanaG> Wireless ISP, wired local?
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> does anyone know how to set up my laptop as an ad-hoc network?
[06:42] <total_meltdown> DanaG: Modem-hog mother + Wireless router + 10 computers in my room = I need my own goddamn subnet...
[06:42] <DanaG> Hog?
[06:43] <DanaG> In my house, I'm the hog.
[06:43] <DanaG> Viva la bittorrent
[06:43] <total_meltdown> DanaG: I would try smoothwall or something, but the router is my laptop, and I already have a fully configured Kubuntu installation I'm using
[06:43] <DanaG> aah.
[06:43] <Megaqwerty> DanaG: lol
[06:43] <DanaG> (stupid USA ISPs -- Charter)
[06:43] <total_meltdown> DanaG: Yeah, but the modem needs to be in the center of the house so it can reach both sides. I'm one side, my brother is the other.
[06:43] <DanaG> 3 megabits?  That's pathetic!  256 kilobits up?  That's worse?
[06:43] <total_meltdown> I'm still planning my takeover... >_>
[06:44] <total_meltdown> OMG I vote the USA chokes on a terd
[06:44] <DanaG> You could get a wrt54g(L) wireless router and put dd-wrt or hyperwrt on it
[06:44] <total_meltdown> and that's saying something - I'm born and raised in Maine
[06:44] <DanaG> CA for me.
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> Anyone know about setting up an ad-hoc network with a laptop?
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> !ad-hoc
[06:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ad-hoc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <zoidberg> okay guys so i figured out that you dont have to type in https:// when you select that kind of conenction
[06:45] <DanaG> Good night.
[06:45] <total_meltdown> DanaG: cout << total_meltdown->funds() << endl;
[06:45] <total_meltdown> 0
[06:45] <zoidberg> so now i'm being asked for a password...and i'm putting my password in which I KNOW is rightbut its now working it keeps on asking for the apssword again?
[06:45] <THX-1138> korea has the fastest internet you got to love having fiber available to your home.
[06:45] <total_meltdown> zoidberg: Sorry... but... Caps-lock?
[06:45] <zoidberg> lol
[06:45] <zoidberg> no CAPS lock
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone backported the Thunderbird-capable new Beagle version for Dapper?
[06:46] <total_meltdown> good point
[06:46] <total_meltdown> Yeah, I have a measly 45 Kb/s up and 500 Kb/s down
[06:46] <total_meltdown> it sucks
[06:46] <clawrence> OK, i got a problem.  Using livecd to make sure i can get a new wireless card (netgear) to work, as i couldn't get my broadcom to work with fecutter or ndiswrapper.  everything seems cool, it recognized, i put in wep key and i can access the wireless router/modem fine.  internet is another story.  can't get yahoo, google, or msn to open, but ubuntu.com is cool.  uri.edu, loads fine, but no ubuntuforums.org.  irc, obviously fine.  what gives
[06:46] <total_meltdown> plus, my Netgear router is about as reliable as something that's not really that reliable at all
[06:46] <zoidberg> i have accesssed this network folder in XP just fine using the same password...i'm wondering that perhaps the school netowrk doesnt allow LINUX acces...?
[06:47] <Megaqwerty> zoidberg: does your school have some kind of framework? (Like Citrix)
[06:47] <zoidberg> dunno?
[06:47] <total_meltdown> clawrence: Random error syndrome. Discouraging for many, often leads to suicide. My suggestion: I have no fscking clue
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> can you connect from the same laptop or a diff one with xp?
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> (i.e. dual-boot)
[06:48] <tamacracker> Hey guys?....
[06:48] <total_meltdown> clawrence: can you ping Google? That's what I always use for my "Is my internet working?" benchmark
[06:48] <total_meltdown> tamacracker: yo dood
[06:49] <bosco> hehe same here google.com ping it the best way
[06:49] <tamacracker> My Serpentine Audio CD Recorder wont record...
[06:49] <tamacracker> sups Total_meltdown!
[06:49] <clawrence> yeah, google.com pings fine
[06:49] <total_meltdown> hmmm
[06:49] <zoidberg> Megaqwerty: i can conenct to the same network folder on this machine i'm using right on XP/...i have dual boot on this machine
[06:49] <total_meltdown> could just be Netgear crappiness?
[06:49] <bosco> woerd
[06:49] <clawrence> and now it loads
[06:49] <bosco> wierd
[06:49] <bosco> lol
[06:50] <tamacracker> I'm gettin an error to make sure I have GStreamer plug in to decode MP3
[06:50] <total_meltdown> clawrence: /me votes Netgear crappiness
[06:50] <clawrence> yeah?!?!?  still confused.
[06:51] <manofwar> hello, does anyone know if the libcube.so for ubuntu is compiled with a static filename entry for the cube and also no name for the skydome itself? changing the filename with csm does nothing, however replacing the actualy cubecaps.png lets you replace the image.
[06:51] <zoidberg> guys is there a chanbnel to ask UBUNTU MEDIA questions?
[06:51] <clawrence> does anyone have a preference for a pcmcia slot wireless card that works reliably?
[06:51] <Megaqwerty> zoidberg: yeah, I have no idea why you can't connect. it might have something to do with some kind of permissions built into windows. My school still uses a Citrix framework and that has always been my problem
[06:51] <tamacracker> lynksis or whatever
[06:51] <Megaqwerty> *omit the still
[06:52] <bosco> i have a netgear router and i have no problem connecting to the wireless but when i try and connecct to my dads windows box it borks on me
[06:52] <Megaqwerty> bosco: do you have smb configured? (don't remember how I did that, but maybe someone else does)
[06:53] <tamacracker> how do i get my GStreamer to work with my Serpentine CD Recorder?
[06:54] <caseyomah_> "E: clvm: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" Help?
[06:54] <Megaqwerty> Anyone know about setting up an ad-hoc network with a laptop?
[06:54] <bosco> Megaqwerty, shouldnt i be able to access my lapbop from his windows box without samba conifigured
[06:54] <RobNyc|Ubuntu> Anyone here has a Logitech mx3100 or so mouse?  I don't know, I thought you were connecting out
 well i am doing both
[06:55] <Megaqwerty> thanks total_meltdown!
[06:55] <bosco> Megaqwerty well i am doing both
[06:55] <Megaqwerty> ok
[06:55] <total_meltdown> Megaquerty: then give yourself an IP address, and do it on all the machines
[06:55] <Megaqwerty> um....
[06:55] <total_meltdown> should work for you
[06:55] <bosco> ok
[06:55] <total_meltdown> sudo ifconfig [wireless interface]  IP address
[06:55] <bosco> yes
[06:56] <total_meltdown> so like sudo ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:56] <Megaqwerty> total_meltdown: does it matter that the other one is a mac laptop (my friends)
[06:56] <total_meltdown> Megaqwerty: Not sure. It might automagically recognize your ad-hoc connection
[06:56] <Megaqwerty> alright, thanks
[06:57] <Megaqwerty> I'm gonna copy down all that stuff...
[06:57] <total_meltdown> good call
[06:57] <clawrence> well thank you guys for the help, traceroute ping and what is loading still don't make sense, but it is better than having no internet and trying to get this stuff to work.  i'm sure i'll be back on after a fresh install looking for more help.
[06:57] <total_meltdown> Does anyone know about NAT at all...? I'm trying to build a router. DNS resolution is working, DHCP is working, but the actual packet forwarding is not. It's upsetting me...
[06:58] <Megaqwerty> Thanks guys! and good luck to bosco
[07:01] <iceman24k> Boy how hard is the xgl part to install ?
[07:01] <ryancr> is there a command that i can run to find out what a video is encoded in?
[07:02] <Lam_> is it better to run windows programs off of VMware or Wine?
[07:03] <manofwar> paralells i would recommend
[07:03] <ryancr> i usually try wine first..and if it doesnt work then i run it in vmware
[07:04] <Lam_> any advantages either way?
[07:04] <ryancr> vmware is a bigger hassle to setup if you dont have it, plus it using more resources cuz it has to run a full windows os
[07:05] <Lam_> ok thanks for the advice
[07:05] <ryancr> no prob
[07:05] <sizzam> i have a backed up dvd image mounted, i'm trying to play it with xine.   whats the best way to get it to play the whole 'disc' from the mounted directory?
[07:05] <ryancr> if your going to install wine, makre sure you get it from the winehq repos
[07:05] <barata> hi, what's the difference between CD & DVD install?
[07:06] <Lam_> ok. i'll make note of that
[07:06] <barata> for 606
[07:07] <ryancr> barata, if i had to guess the dvd would just contain more files, so if you want to install something you wouldnt have to pull it off the net
[07:07] <varsendaggr> hey once i draw a circle or whatever in inkscape with the caligraphy pen?
[07:07] <varsendaggr> how do i fill it with fill color?
[07:08] <warbuscommando> is the cryptographic api in the stock ubuntu kernel?
[07:09] <ryancr> varsendaggr: to the left of the font icon (the big T) is the fill/stroke icon that you can use to adjust all the fill and stroke setings
[07:09] <burnick> hi, if ur sound dont work  but was working b4...in gnome...just check your /etc/group file .. find the line "audio" addu ur user to that line...and restart gnome
[07:09] <barata> ryancr: I get a lot of problem with the automatic update ... if I reinstall, is it possible to avoid the updates as I install additional apps?
[07:10] <total_meltdown> Can anyone help me with this? I think I'm finding some issues, but I'm not sure
[07:10] <barata> anybody install Ubuntu from SOURCE?
[07:10] <barata> like gentoo
[07:10] <iceman24k> gentoo yeck :(
[07:10] <k0rd> question: so im deciding to install ubuntu, which version is reccomended
[07:10] <barata> I think debian has a special repositories like that, does Ubuntu also has that?
[07:11] <zoidberg> guys what is the channel for discussuing ubuntu media issues

[07:11] <ryancr> if you install additional repos, i usually uncheck them and do a apt-get update before i do a apt-get upgrade, if there is something that i don't want updated
[07:12] <k0rd> i mean like for the intel x86
[07:12] <Lam_> what program can i use as the equivalent of a virtual cd/dvd drive to mount isos on?
[07:12] <ryancr> anyone know a command i can use to get the codec of a video file
[07:12] <k0rd> i also need a way to partition, will ubuntu do this for me?
[07:12] <ryancr> using mencoder or something
[07:12] <k0rd> to dual-boot xp and *nix
 anyone know a command i can use to get the codec of a video file --> just use vlc for all your need
[07:13] <PathagenX> k0rd, Easily so.
[07:13] <ryancr> i dont want to watch the vid i want to know what it is encoded with..will vlc tell me that?
[07:13] <mayeco> sure
[07:13] <mayeco> vlc can do that
[07:13] <weex> does anyone know why i can't mount my truecrypt volume with write privileges?
 i dont want to watch the vid i want to know what it is encoded with..will vlc tell me that? --> I dont think I understand this ... do you mean you can just click & play?
[07:13] <k0rd> ty PathagenX
[07:14] <k0rd> so im running xp, with an intel prcoessor, i should get the i386 version correct?
[07:14] <ryancr> no i mean i have an avi file and i want to know what it is encoded with... divx, xvid, etc
[07:14] <mayeco> vlc
[07:14] <simtower> ryancr, vlc will give you the info
[07:14] <ryancr> thanks

[07:18] <tamacracker>  Has anyone been successful in burning MP3s onto CD format with Ubuntu?
[07:18] <PathagenX> BlindSpot, Vista rc1 and rc2 and likely rc3 (if there is one) are not worth the effort.
[07:18] <mayeco> i try longhorn months ago and is crap
[07:18] <Madpilot> BlindSpot, seriously, this is not the right channel for questions about Windows
[07:18] <k0rd> question, last time i tried installing ubuntu, the screen went black about 54% of installing the software
[07:18] <PathagenX> tama There is a thing in your multimedia meny
[07:18] <BlindSpot> i use XP and ubuntu
[07:18] <k0rd> maybe because i got the wrong version?
[07:19] <iceman24k> i did 64 bit windows, vista, all sucked
[07:19] <IronMask> vista's great, just disable the "aero" interface lol
[07:19] <PathagenX> Disk burning wizard or something

[07:20] <ryancr> iceman24k: dunno, i played with it for a bit, it seemed kinda buggy (granted it was an earlier version) but it annoyed me enough to remove it
[07:20] <iceman24k> whats the best media player ?
[07:20] <mayeco> amarok
[07:20] <hockyhair> mplayer works for me
[07:20] <ryancr> k0rd: haha

[07:21] <mayeco> never use Muine
[07:21] <mayeco> can i use my ipod with Muine?
[07:21] <thephunkizm> will using konsole on gnome cause any problems?
[07:21] <EVRAMP> no
[07:21] <PathagenX> thepunkizm, Only to your dignity
[07:21] <Madpilot> mayeco, no idea, I don't own an iPod - check the Muine website, maybe
[07:21] <EVRAMP> thephunkizm
[07:21] <thephunkizm> lol
[07:22] <Madpilot> thephunkizm, no, but why not just use gnome-terminal?
[07:22] <PathagenX> i like rxvt
[07:22] <thephunkizm> konsole is purrdy
[07:22] <mayeco> thanks
[07:22] <thephunkizm> i like the green on black =)
[07:22] <mayeco> hahaha =) green on black
[07:23] <iceman24k> guess i need the codecs first ;)
[07:23] <Madpilot> thephunkizm, you can adjust text colours in gnome-term too, you know ;)
[07:23] <PathagenX> rxvt -bg black -fg limegreen
[07:23] <thephunkizm> oh, cool.
[07:23] <iceman24k> wish i could get gnome transparent :(
[07:23] <Neo8750> Terminal
[07:24] <Neo8750> its tabed
[07:24] <Neo8750> but i bet those all are too
[07:24] <Madpilot> iceman24k, gnome-term can even fake transparency ;)
[07:24] <PathagenX> eterm is best for transparency
[07:24] <mayeco> gnome is more stable that kde right?
[07:24] <iceman24k> Madpilot wheres gnome-term ?
[07:24] <thephunkizm> so how do ichange colors in terminal/
[07:25] <Neo8750> Madpilot: what you mean fake?
[07:25] <Madpilot> iceman24k, Applications->Accessories->Terminal is gnome-terminal
[07:25] <Neo8750> like just the background not icons?
[07:25] <iceman24k> cant config the rest for transparent
[07:26] <Neo8750> iceman24k: ??
[07:26] <Neo8750> Terminal will
[07:26] <iceman24k> Madpilot may have to install xgl
[07:26] <Madpilot> Neo8750, yeah, just the background/desktop wallpaper visible, not windows behind your terminal window
[07:27] <Neo8750> xfce4 does that
[07:27] <iceman24k> XGL work better ?
[07:27] <Neo8750> it allows you to make no active windows transparent
[07:27] <KyoLptp`> Where can I get the plugin for ytmnd.com?
[07:28] <ClayG> Nice
[07:28] <Neo8750> but its pretty cpu intence
[07:28] <ClayG> anyone know of a tabbed browser for the cli?
[07:28] <Neo8750> elinks
[07:29] <total_meltdown> XGL/Compiz is the greatest thing since the big bang. Just saying.
[07:30] <iceman24k> total_meltdown i downloaded kororaa to try it, not bad :)
[07:30] <total_meltdown> ^_^
[07:31] <hockyhair> whats the name of the kde or gnome battery app that sits on the taskbar
[07:31] <total_meltdown> hockyhair: for KDE it's KLaptop
[07:31] <DaveyJ> vmware player wont work in server mode will it?
[07:31] <Neo8750> i can't use compiz =(
[07:31] <total_meltdown> ?
[07:32] <thephunkizm> oooh, i take it back.  terminal is purrdy when transparent.  =)
[07:32] <riko> could someone suggest me a way to set a shutdown timer for my computer?
[07:32] <Neo8750> 372 frames in 5.2 seconds = 70.933 FPS
[07:32] <Neo8750> 342 frames in 5.2 seconds = 66.193 FPS
[07:33] <Neo8750> =(
[07:33] <total_meltdown> riko: man shutdown
[07:33] <riko> is there a gui for it tho? I kinda want something with a count down timer?
[07:33] <total_meltdown> riko: It's built into the kernel - you can schedule a shutdown in one hour
[07:33] <Neo8750> riko: cron
[07:33] <hockyhair> total_meltdown: hey how do i find out what battery number i am using, i want time rem to show up in my conky.. and it asks for BAT+# its not the default BAT0 it's not 1 or 2 either
[07:34] <riko> i've got tvtime and a tv tuner card in my pc so i kinda wanna make have like a sleep app type of thing like on a tv?
[07:34] <total_meltdown> hockeyhair: Oh geeze... I have no idea. It just magically worked for me
[07:34] <hockyhair> bat0
[07:34] <hockyhair> ?

[07:35] <bobby123> anyone there?
[07:35] <bobby123> please help
[07:35] <total_meltdown> err... I didn't. it just worked for me
[07:35] <total_meltdown> bobby123: we will if we can. What's up?
[07:36] <bobby123> i have a step CPU with 2 steps, 1GHz and 1.8GHz
[07:36] <bobby123> when the cpu steps up or down the monitor flickers
[07:36] <bobby123> wht shud i do??
[07:36] <bobby123> using ubuntu dapper 6.06
[07:37] <total_meltdown> I'm thinking it has something to do with power draw. More power to switch modes = less to the video card
[07:37] <total_meltdown> Is it really bad, or just annoying?
[07:37] <Neo8750> turn off step

[07:37] <EnsignRedshirt> Where does Rhythmbox store its data?  I initially ripped a CD, and I entered the the names manually in Sound Juicer.  Then I imported the files into Rhythmbox.  Later I found that I had entered some track names incorrectly, so I renamed the ogg files. Now I can't get Rhythmbox to see the new names.  I've tried deleting and re-importing the files in Rhythmbox, but it seems to remember the old incorrect track names.
[07:37] <bobby123> annoying a lot
[07:37] <bobby123> when ever i try to start applications
[07:37] <bobby123> the monitor flickers

[07:37] <simtower> your laptop is broken
[07:37] <total_meltdown> I don't know... I'd go with Neo's suggestion - turn off stepping if you can
[07:37] <total_meltdown> check hardware manuals
[07:38] <Neo8750> set it so on battery it runs in between max and lowest (can do this with differnt commands i can't remeber them though) and on ac max
[07:38] <bobby123> how shud i do that?
[07:38] <total_meltdown> hardware manuals
[07:38] <bobby123> its a desktop comp
[07:38] <bobby123> not laptop
[07:38] <zoidberg> does anyone know anything about JACK and ARDOUR?
[07:38] <Neo8750> turn off step
[07:38] <Neo8750> or find the command to set the lowest step to max
[07:38] <simtower> installed groach but it doesn't work
[07:38] <Neo8750> or check bios and see if has option
[07:38] <bobby123> hmm

[07:41] <manuelchat3000> Have someone of you tried to install internet explorer 6 for Linux (with Wine)??  So I need to visit an important web site that require that plugin (www.guitarplayertv.com)
[07:43] <Project2501a> manuelchat3000: sure it does.
[07:43] <Neo8750> manuelchat3000: have you tried the little cheap workaround?
[07:43] <Project2501a> go download the latest flash from adobe.

[07:43] <TiG4> Project2501a, I want it to start automatically
[07:43] <ClayG> greets, anyone know a good CLI email reader that doesn't require me to mess with setting up a mail agent?
[07:43] <KyoLptp`> So nobody knows how to get ytmnd.com working properly in dapper?
[07:43] <Project2501a> TiG4: man cron
[07:43] <ClayG> something like thunderbird for cli
[07:43] <ClayG> if there was one
[07:43] <wastrel> ClayG:  mutt
[07:44] <TiG4> Project2501a, can I cron as another user not logged in?
[07:44] <CharonX> Im having a heck of a time installing ubuntu.. for some reason it is locking up while installing the base system ? Could it be I have a bad image ?
[07:44] <ClayG> i can just install it and run it without setting upa  MTA?
[07:44] <Neo8750> manuelchat3000: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/flash-9-for-xubuntu/
[07:44] <wastrel> ClayG:  i use mutt to read my imap mail.  not 100% sure about pop...
[07:44] <GHOZt> hi gud day... i receive already the free cd
[07:44] <manuelchat3000> Today I went to the web page of above. And they provide just flash 7 for linux. Unfortunately some websites require flash 9
[07:44] <Project2501a> TiG4: read the man page, it'll tell you. elsewise sudo -user $youruserhere$ vi crontab
[07:44] <GHOZt> hi gud day... i receive already the free cd, the server files is also inside?
[07:44] <Neo8750> it may work
[07:44] <wastrel> ClayG:  but yes, it can talk to an external smtp
[07:45] <Project2501a> mutt supports ALL mail formats
[07:45] <ClayG> what about getting the mail
[07:45] <manuelchat3000> ok thank you Neo8750 and the others suporter too. I`ll check it out right now ;)
[07:45] <Project2501a> except outlook and escange.
[07:45] <ClayG> im gonna install it, im just bad about installing crap and if i dont use it, leaving it there and making my system cluttered
[07:45] <wastrel> ClayG:  oops sorry my bad, mutt can't talk to smtp (sorry long time since i set up the local mta)
[07:45] <Project2501a> 300K os space is not exactly clutter :P
[07:45] <ClayG> ouch
[07:46] <Neo8750> i brb
[07:46] <Project2501a> so, anybody down with bugzilla?
[07:46] <ClayG> damn, wish they would come out with thunderbird for cli
[07:46] <GHOZt> gud day can i ask questions here?
[07:46] <ClayG> lol

[07:46] <Master_Medic> hey
[07:47] <Master_Medic> anyone know how to mount a sd flash stick?
[07:47] <Master_Medic> i found it with fdisk -l
[07:47] <Master_Medic> and i tried to do 'mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdrive' but its saying i need to specify the filesystem type
[07:47] <GHOZt> :) ok... the CD i received from ship.it is the desktop version or both desktop and server inside?
[07:47] <ClayG> both
[07:48] <GHOZt> ok thanks
[07:48] <ClayG> server is installed with using the server command, i didn't look for it in dapper but the breezy version it worked that way
[07:48] <ClayG> i loved that option, just use server, install openssh-server and do the rest remotley (though indapper i think the ssh server is preinstalled, not sure)
[07:49] <GHOZt> does squid runs perfectly on the dapper? any comments about running squid on dapper?
[07:50] <Gasten> Most stuff runs perfectly in ubuntu, in my view.
[07:51] <GTroy> gasten, yup me too
[07:51] <roler> there is this option in vim that highlights the matching parenthesis or {} ... does anyone know what it is so I can turn it off??
[07:51] <corevette> out of curiosity....which irc chat client is everyone using
[07:52] <Gasten> I'm on XChat.
[07:52] <GTroy> I should be using irissi
[07:52] <Gasten> But I know a lot of people is on irssi
[07:53] <Gasten> roler: I have no idea. Try looking at their homepage.
[07:53] <barata> what is xubuntu actually?
[07:53] <wastrel> roler type :set and see what options are turned on
[07:53] <barata> x-only ubuntu?
[07:53] <roler> wastrel; thanks!
[07:53] <Gasten> roler: and you could probably restart vim.
[07:53] <bimberi_> !xubuntu
[07:53] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with XFCE, for more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org. To install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:54] <Vardyr> !ati
[07:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:54] <Gasten> roler: if that doesn't help, try reading the configuration files in /home/youruser/.vim
[07:54] <Vardyr> sweeeeet
[07:55] <roler> it's whatever the latest vim upgrade did - it was a long while ago though
[07:55] <roler> i think it's 'showmatch'
[07:56] <Gasten> then try :showmatch off
[07:56] <Gasten> or just :showmatch
[07:56] <Gasten> maybe :help showmatch
[07:56] <Neo8750> manuelchat3000: did that work for you?
[07:57] <thephunkizm> synaptic won't let me add the wine repository because it automatically looks for the wrong file on their server.  who do i get around this?
[07:57] <Gasten> roler: and check for a new version.
[07:58] <barata> xubuntu is best!
[07:58] <Flannel> thephunkizm: you mean universe?
[07:59] <roler> sigh...
[07:59] <bll3r> hey i have a quick question i just downloaded rar for linux but how do i extract the file
[07:59] <jason> shout'n out loud
[07:59] <bll3r> would it be "rar -xf <file name>"
[07:59] <thephunkizm> http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/dapper/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found
[07:59] <total_meltdown> bll3r: apt-cache search rar
[08:00] <wastrel> Gasten, roler:  it's  :set noshowmatch  to turn it off
[08:00] <total_meltdown> ooh, I lied
[08:00] <bll3r> i already have rar though
[08:00] <total_meltdown> apt-cache search rar | grep archive
[08:00] <Flannel> thephunkizm: use the ubuntu repository, not a wine one.
[08:00] <total_meltdown> oh, I think once you have it, Ark supports it
[08:00] <roler> showmatch is not it. i'm still looking
[08:00] <thephunkizm> ok, i'll try that
[08:00] <Flannel> !tell thephunkizm about universe
[08:00] <jason> i really think dapper sucks , Why does everyone think it's so great..?
[08:00] <lillpelle> bll3r: I'm not sure if you have unrar, but if you do, just type unrar x -r file.rar <-- usually works
[08:01] <total_meltdown> ah
[08:01] <total_meltdown> bill3r: unrar
[08:01] <total_meltdown> yeah
[08:01] <Gasten> wastrel: Ah. thanks.
[08:01] <thephunkizm> Flannel: thanks
[08:01] <simtower> i think i am just going to install debian next time
[08:01] <iceman24k> !ntfs
[08:01] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[08:01] <bll3r> there we go
[08:02] <bll3r> thanks lillpelle!
[08:02] <simtower> ubuntu seems more finicky
[08:02] <simtower> less packages work
[08:02] <jason> alot less.!
[08:02] <bll3r> shut
[08:02] <bll3r> shit
[08:02] <bll3r> where did it back it up to?
[08:02] <jason> especially in dapper
[08:02] <Flannel> simtower: which packages aren't working for you?
[08:03] <simtower> i should be keeping a list of them
[08:03] <xuserx> Does dropping parking hard drives help?
[08:03] <simtower> groach didn't work tonight
[08:03] <simtower> yesterday i installed some game packages that didn't work
[08:03] <jason> yeah it does
[08:03] <manuelchat3000> Project2501a: unfortunately the tip Neo8750 told me doesn`t work. That`s because the site use flash 9 technology.....
[08:03] <xuserx> It would make me feel better =[
[08:04] <jason> no turn off the power as it's parking
[08:04] <Flannel> simtower: well, unless you file bug reports, we have no way of knowing if things don't work.  Especially for obscure packages
[08:04] <xuserx> Throw the laptop out the window.
[08:04] <jason> xuserx: press the restart button repeatedly as it's parking
[08:05] <wastrel> i filed a bug report
[08:05] <bll3r> how do i find .mp3 extensions with the find command?
[08:05] <kintaro0e> hi guys..i'm installing ubuntu server..is LVM reliable and stable?
[08:05] <xuserx> jason: man, I'm tempted.
[08:05] <wastrel> find /foo/ -name "*mp3"
[08:05] <manuelchat3000> Does anybody know how internet explorer for linux (with Wine) work on a pc? I have a pentium III and it works really bad.
[08:06] <wastrel> manuelchat3000:  it works really bad
[08:06] <jason> xuserx: i hear that..!     Thats how i felt when i had dapper , Now i've got breezy and haven't looked back ( err ahead )
[08:06] <kintaro0e> because i dont know if LVM is stable enough for our production server..any advice?
[08:07] <xuserx> jason: yeah I'm running 1.2 on slackware.
[08:07] <xuserx> jason: or something like that =D
[08:07] <Gasten> manuelchat3000: Just curious... Why would you wan't to use that?
[08:07] <manuelchat3000> Ok wastrel I`m not the only one...
[08:07] <jason> manuelchat3000: google  for  "ie4linux"  and install that..
[08:08] <manuelchat3000> Gasten: I need that because I need to run flash 9...
[08:08] <Gasten> manuelchat3000: Ah. FF doesn't got that?
[08:08] <xuserx> Anyone else think laptop battery life is sad.
[08:08] <Flannel> Gasten: linux doesn't have Flash 9 yet
[08:08] <Gasten> Ah.
[08:08] <EnsignRedshirt> It can also be useful to check how a web site that you created will behave with IE6.
[08:09] <xuserx> Myspace?!!?
[08:09] <jason> xuserx: yes , Thats why they cost so damn much to replace
[08:09] <Gasten> EnsignRedshirt: Well, then you use FF's IE-plug-in.
[08:09] <Flannel> Gasten: you need to have IE installed to use that...
[08:09] <Gasten> Ah.
[08:09] <manuelchat3000> Gasten: firefox for linux support up to flash 7. Anyway I got I tip that in same cases may work.(http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/flash-9-for-xubuntu/)
[08:09] <foxiness> hi,"Another synaptic is running" how can i kill this proccess? "update-manager"
[08:09] <xuserx> jason: and here i thought it was cuz tey are greedy.
[08:09] <simtower> hu
[08:10] <total_meltdown> foxiness: ps afx | grep synaptic
[08:10] <jason> xuserx: ROFL :)
[08:10] <total_meltdown> foxiness: kill -9 [PID]
[08:10] <roler> well, showmatch/noshowmatch seem to be what i don't want to be doing, but i can't turn it off. :noshowmatch in the editor does nothign .sigh
[08:10] <EnsignRedshirt> Gasten: No need to shut up--I didn't know FF had  an IE plug-in.
[08:11] <Flannel> It just displays an IE window, inside the wrapper of a FF tab, still needs IE to work
[08:11] <harisund> Any reason why Webmin is not supported on Ubuntu anymore? Because it uses a root account and Ubuntu doesn't like root? Or for some other more legitimate reason?
[08:11] <Gasten> Ah.
[08:11] <manuelchat3000> Jason, thanks. I`ll try IE4, may is lighter..
[08:11] <total_meltdown> Harisund: You're the only other person I've ever heard mention it
[08:11] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: So it wouldn't work in linux--unless it knows to run wine?
[08:11] <total_meltdown> Harisund: I'm trying to use it to set up a router - figting a lot
[08:11] <harisund> total_meltdown: ah .. so what is the equivalent then?
[08:11] <harisund> total_meltdown: yeah, I am setting up a router as well :D
[08:12] <foxiness> total_meltdown, Done :) , thanks ;)
