[06:15] <chomsky> even tho I didnt download Edubuntu
[06:15] <silvaran> phantasmoholic-: There are probably licensing issues that cover distribution... you can't ship the driver with the OS, but you can let the users download the driver themselves.
[06:15] <pancakelizard> how do i get ubuntu to realize i have a widescreen monitor?
[06:15] <frank23> sarra: are you using gnome and kdm or viceversa?
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> pancakelizard,  my ati laptop - started usibng it right - when i installed the fglrx drivers
[06:16] <phantasmoholic-> Linux will never go anywhere without hardware companies helping it
[06:16] <fluxt> silvaran, i don't think ubuntu want to ship anything proprietry like most distros also.
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> pancakelizard,  or use the 'modeline generator' web site (google for it) and create a custome modeline.
[06:16] <MOEBIOUX> i notice that ubuntu didnt work well with some monitors /// the displayed  screen apears giant
[06:16] <pancakelizard> ok i will
[06:16] <pancakelizard> thanks
[06:16] <pancakelizard> brb
[06:16] <silvaran> fluxt: Yah... I wish hardware manufacturers would smarten up.
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> phantasmoholic-,   most time i hear someone say "linux will never....." its  often proven wrong. :P
[06:17] <fluxt> silvaran, but we can't blame them for hiding their competetive optimisations and embarasing workarounds :)
[06:17] <phantasmoholic-> I can only hope it will improve
[06:17] <silvaran> fluxt: Heh, that's true...
[06:17] <firstent> has any of u meet any peruvian guy that uses Ubuntu, maybe in this channel?
[06:17] <phantasmoholic-> But after 10 years of watching it, it has actually just gotten more bloated
[06:18] <loco> #ubuntu forum
[06:18] <MOEBIOUX> eres el pionero loko
[06:18] <MOEBIOUX> congratulations
[06:18] <loco> hmmm, how do you change channles?
[06:18] <sarra> afraid i don't know what kdm is, i'm quite wet behind the ears. was reconfiging xorg and had to startx from prompt, i assume that's to do with it? - is there a way to shutdown in the meantime, and will xwindow start up next time i boot? :S
[06:18] <phantasmoholic-> When will everyone join together around a single distribution!
[06:18] <_jason> loco: /join #ubuntuforums
[06:18] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, you can make it super unbloated if you wish, linux is what you make it, you have a choice
[06:18] <loco> ahh thank you jason
[06:19] <silvaran> sarra: /etc/init.d/kdm <stop|start|restart>
[06:19] <chomsky> ok... to answer my question... edubuntu has WAY more limits than Ubuntu
[06:19] <loco> heh, do you use flux too?
[06:19] <frank23> sarra: or gdm
[06:19] <Mosi> phantasmoholic-: put a working install of windows on a Picotux, then we'll talk about bloated. til then, you have no right to be calling linux names :)
[06:20] <Samineru> fluxt whatever, I'll do it some other time.
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> phantasmoholic-,  never.
[06:20] <MOEBIOUX> loko
[06:20] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: All that choice is the thing thats keeping me from being able to use it, I use my OS to accomplish certain goals, and one of those goals hasn't been fortunate enough to be understanding every aspect of OS configuration, maybe if I had more time
[06:20] <bosco_> how do i extract this file to Kopete   jasper-1_701_0_vmspatch.tar
[06:20] <Bicchi> If dapper doesn't have the lattest version of a software, to whom to i report/suggest an upgrade? What is the procedure?
[06:21] <cge> I have been trying to use a framebuffer console (vga=791) without the splash option. But when I disable the splash option, the screen remains black until GDM starts, and I never get a console. Does anyone know why this would happen? How can I disable usplash and still use a framebuffer console?
[06:21] <silvaran> phantasmoholic-: I love car analogies, even bad ones, so let's say Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, and every other car company all banded together to make some uber car? :)
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Linux is a tool. You use it how you want.  learn how to use the tools better r3equires skill and effort.
[06:21] <MOEBIOUX>  /join #ubuntuforum
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> I use 'Woodworking tools" analogys. :P
[06:21] <silvaran> Heheh.
[06:21] <Mosi> phantasmoholic- that's exactly why no one will ever gather around a single distro. distro choice is one of the great tings about linux. there's mandriva for folks like you, and slackware for people like me, and we're still using 95% the same libs and interfaces, so just about everything is itnercompatable
[06:21] <MOEBIOUX>  #ubuntu.es
[06:21] <sarra> ah tis gdm
[06:21] <sarra> lessee
[06:22] <bosco_> how do i extract this file to Kopete   jasper-1_701_0_vmspatch.tar
[06:23] <phantasmoholic-> Ok, ok, I'm not trying to say Linux is lame, I love it, I have always had a distro installed next to my windows, but, I'm just kinda depressed that I never actually can boot it and use it like I would love to do
[06:23] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, linux is harder to learn and easier and more powerfull to use
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> When Windows breaks - you are often totally Stuck.. when linux breaks you can rip it apart. :P
[06:23] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, what's actually stopping you? you have a problem?
[06:23] <Relkin> Does ubuntu have the support necessary to access RHEL lvm2 logical volumes?
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> I find linux easier to learn. :P
[06:24] <phantasmoholic-> I feel I have a solid grasp on things in Linux that most windows users would never understand, and even with that, I still can't make it do what I want
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> But then again  Trick #1 - "Learn how to learn"
[06:24] <pancakelizard> where is the XF86Config section?
[06:24] <jetscreamer> section?
[06:24] <fluxt> Dr_Willis, but win has gui nobrainers. how easy is that! not that you can do as much..
[06:24] <firstent> fluxt i did everything in the wik page to install java, but it isnt working
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> pancakelizard,  Huh?
[06:24] <sit1> hi, anybody here knows a reference or two on how to customize (or even better, create) ubuntu install cd??? :-/ i've been searching on google but can't find spesifically what i need, perhaps wrong keyword???
[06:24] <Mosi> Dr_Willis: Linux is harder to use ifyou don't know anything, but actually *learning* it is way easier. because things have a logical construction, and standards. Windows totally does not >:(
[06:24] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: Right now there is only 1 major thing, dual monitors wont work
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> fluxt,  untill it breaks.
[06:25] <pancakelizard>  Put the following modeline in your XF86Config in the Monitors section, and add it to your active modes in the Screen section
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> pancakelizard,  xorg uses xorg.conf :P
[06:25] <jetscreamer> pancakelizard: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:25] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: when I sit down and see the boot screen, I can just feel the jail cell of the single monitor if I boot linux, so I always go to windows
[06:25] <pancakelizard> oh ok thanks.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> older X uses that other file.
[06:25] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, hmm well a lot of cards aren't supported in linux that way :( google lists a few. search?
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> Jail Cell of the Single Monitor?
[06:25] <pancakelizard> sorry this is the first version of linux ive actually liked and i trying to learn stuff while i go.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> heh.
[06:25] <fluxt> firstent, what exactly isn't working?
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> I use Dual monitors on my Nvidia card.
[06:26] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: My card is supported for it, even has a psuedo xinerama that suppots 3d on both monitors, other people have it working, I try to do what they do, and it doesn't work for me
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> but with the mutipal Desktop features I dont really need the extra monitors.
[06:26] <firstent> fluxt when i get in a java page it doesnt displey
[06:26] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, yeah i've been there, i hear you
[06:26] <sit1> is anybody here knows a reference or two on how to customize (or even better, create) ubuntu install cd??? :-/ i've been searching on google but can't find spesifically what i need, perhaps wrong keyword???
[06:26] <phantasmoholic-> Dr_Willis: I'm already addicted to multiple monitors, once you have used two you can never go back to one
[06:26] <MoebiuxRAMONE> HEY HO LETS GO
[06:27] <loco> w00t ramones
[06:27] <fluxt> firstent, paste output of.. java --version
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> Ive had very odd issues with windows and Mulp. Monitors as well.. its just the whole os 'world/programers' dont seem to think people use them much.
[06:27] <cge> sit1: Maybe you should ask on the forums? No one ever seems to answer advanced questions like that here.
[06:27] <pancakelizard> ok in the monitor section, it has my correct hardware listed. is there a way to change the aspect ratio then?
[06:27] <bosco> tar xvf jasper-1_701_0_vmspatch.tar
[06:27] <firstent> fluxt already done
[06:27] <sit1> owh, ok... thanks
[06:27] <MoebiuxRAMONE> EU LOCO
[06:27] <MoebiuxRAMONE> DE DONDE SO
[06:27] <silvaran> pancakelizard: Got some measuring tape?
[06:28] <firstent> hey moe, the channel didnt work
[06:28] <fluxt> firstent, so it works, just not in firefox?
[06:28] <pancakelizard> no i dont
[06:28] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: I would also say my Wirless is a problem, but I can get it working with ndiswrapper in Breezy
[06:28] <loco> yo hablo un poco espanol, pero you soy de las EEUU
[06:28] <firstent> fluxt do u thing that it would be better if i restart??
[06:28] <firstent> fluxt the pc
[06:28] <MoebiuxRAMONE> OK
[06:28] <Relkin> Anyone have any knowledge about LVM2 support in the Ubuntu Live CD?
[06:28] <Mosi> can anyone help me fix XMMS?
[06:28] <phantasmoholic-> fluxt: But it looks like Dapper is going to switch in a kernel module, bcm43xx, that does not look like it works so well, and ruin my ndiswrapper ease
[06:29] <silvaran> pancakelizard: Under 'Section "Monitor"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can add a line like this: "DisplaySize 345 271"
[06:29] <fluxt> phantasmoholic-, heres an idea, look as linux as a huge howto get stuff to go time fun for all thingy
[06:29] <firstent> fluxt i will restart the pc, because Flash isnt working neughter
[06:29] <silvaran> pancakelizard: Where 345 is 345 millimetres (width) and the other one is the height.  Hence the measuring tape :).
[06:29] <pancakelizard> oh ok i see
[06:30] <fluxt> firstent, if you think it'll help
[06:30] <pancakelizard> what you're saying
[06:30] <silvaran> pancakelizard: It might help fix font issues and aspect ratios while watching movies (or TV).
[06:30] <Mosi> does anyone know XMMS well?
[06:30] <Relkin> silveran:  I thought those were pixel values, not mm measurements?
[06:30] <silvaran> but it's not going to have any effect on resolution.
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Mosi,  cant say that ive had any probmels with xmms.
[06:30] <silvaran> Relkin: They seem like awfully strange pixel values :).
[06:30] <foampeace> xmms
[06:31] <Mosi> Dr_Willis: thanks, that makes mine work better :P
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> Wide Screen Desktop Monitors seem tobe getting more common. :P
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> which is good.
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> Mosi,  you COULD ask a real question.
[06:31] <foampeace> my hardward i think is crap...WHY
[06:31] <thrice`> anyone have fgrlx and dapper ?
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> thrice`,  it works on my laptop. I just followed the !ati wiki
[06:32] <Relkin> silveran: I never said they were correct values ;)  Also, it's late for me and I'm stressing cuz my hd on my redhat server is crashing and I can't seem to find a repair utility that works with LVM2 (can't access the LVM2 when it's not mounted)
[06:32] <loco> gnite
[06:32] <thrice`> !ati
[06:32] <ubotu> methinks ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[06:32] <phantasmoholic-> thrice`: is that the ATI binary driver
[06:32] <silvaran> Relkin: Nasty stuff...
[06:32] <thrice`> I thought I did :(
[06:32] <phantasmoholic-> thrice': you wouldn't happen to be using the dual head feature of your card would you??
[06:32] <foampeace> is it common for the system to do kernel panics sometimes
[06:32] <thrice`> phantasmoholic-: nope
[06:33] <Relkin> silv: I know.  I'm not going to be using LVM2 again, unless I'm running RAID5 arrays, and then I would not need the LVM ;)
[06:33] <silvaran> foampeace: Nope :(
[06:33] <Mosi> Dr_Willis: ok, so, the other day i went to install Busybox just for educational purposes. It said it had to delete my linux kernel image to do it, so i made sure i had symlinks so my boot loader could boot off an old version of the kernel. Sure enough, this morning i had to run off 2.6.10-6-powerpc kernel. I discovered that XMMS worked under this kernel. After i reinstalled 2.6.12-10-powerpc-smp and booted off that, XMMS no longer worked.
[06:33] <Mosi>  any thoughts?
[06:33] <silvaran> Relkin: Yeah, my configs have never been complex enough for me to even look at LVM.
[06:34] <Relkin> silvaran: RH defaults to dropping EVERYTHING into an LVM
[06:34] <Relkin> ugh
[06:34] <foampeace> i wanna go live in the forest the computer is cheap and flaky :<
[06:34] <chomsky> k... well can anybody even tell me WHY Ubuntu would automaticly "update" to Edubuntu... and if its reversable?
[06:34] <silvaran> foampeace: Trees don't bring you porn :)
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> Mosi,  sounds more like a sound device
[06:34] <Relkin> silvaran: I didn't know better at first... now I do.  DOH!
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> Mosi,  sounds more like a sound device  'issue' not a an xmms one.
[06:34] <phantasmoholic-> chomsky: you changed all your source's to edubuntu sources and did a dist-upgrade?
[06:35] <foampeace> silvaran: i dont want to take the computer back
[06:35] <silvaran> phantasmoholic-: I thought edubuntu was in the same repository, just a different virtual package?
[06:35] <foampeace> silvaran: but its crashing and flaky
[06:35] <chomsky> no... brand new install... everythign went well till i logged into gnome...
[06:35] <Mosi> Dr_Willis: that could well be. However, Rythmbox Music Player works fine, and did under the oldkernel. Do you know what the difference is between what the two players use, so i can get an idea where to start looking for a fix?
[06:35] <silvaran> chomsky: What does "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" get you?
[06:36] <chomsky> good question... i'll give it a go
[06:36] <firstent> fluxt didnt work, nor flash or java
[06:36] <foampeace> why would a computer be flaky? bargain bin cpus?
[06:36] <foampeace> bad yeild cpus?
[06:36] <mdmkolbe> This may be slightly OT, but I can't think of any other unbiased places to ask.  I would like to put the /etc of my ubuntu install under version control.  Can anyone recomend a version control system that would be good for that? SVN? darcs?
[06:37] <highvoltage> what is nexenta?
[06:37] <silvaran> Mosi: I haven't used xmms in ages, but it has its own code for piping sound to the hardware (and might even be set to use the deprecated OSS drivers).  Rhythmbox uses gstreamer which I believe favors the new ALSA system.  I would suggest checking the sound settings in XMMS and trying different output devices (esd/alsa/oss) until you find one that (hopefully) works.
[06:37] <fluxt> firstent, ls /usr/java/jre -ld
[06:37] <chomsky> heh... cant even get a terminal
[06:37] <chomsky> ah there it is
[06:38] <Mosi> silvaran: thanks much, i'll try that
[06:38] <silvaran> mdmkolbe: I'm sure you could get just about any version control system to work with it... my money would be on Subversion, but that's a personal preference.
[06:38] <silvaran> mdmkolbe: I've no experience with that sort of thing, but you might want to find a filesystem or something with built-in versioning so you don't have to remember to commit after every change you want logged in the repo.
[06:38] <Mosi> silvaran: ^_^ wow, that was easy. I didn't know ALSA was better than OSS, thanks :)
[06:39] <darkfires> alsa is much better
[06:39] <darkfires> clearer
[06:39] <MoebiuxRAMONE> COMMUNITY: what decodes should i need to waacht mpeg files (video) on ubuntu live
[06:39] <silvaran> Mosi: No problem... I think technically it's "better" now (I've had enormous pains with alsa in the past while it was maturing), but OSS is deprecated in the kernel.
[06:39] <mdmkolbe> silvaran: do such things exist under linux?  any names I could search for?
[06:39] <MoebiuxRAMONE> what decoders should i download
[06:39] <propagandhi> MoebiuxRAMONE: no decodes
[06:39] <fluxt> firstent, depending on where you installed java.. on mine... cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
[06:39] <propagandhi> MoebiuxRAMONE: but some codecs
[06:39] <chomsky> silvaran: root@fuckbox:/home/chomsky# apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:39] <chomsky> Reading package lists... Done
[06:39] <chomsky> Building dependency tree... Done
[06:39] <chomsky> ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
[06:39] <chomsky> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 24 not upgraded.
[06:40] <propagandhi> !codecs
[06:40] <ubotu> Binary only codecs (such as w32codecs) can be downloaded from plf or cipherfunk, see !easysource for details on these repositories
[06:40] <MoebiuxRAMONE> ok
[06:40] <silvaran> mdmkolbe: Honestly I have no idea... you could google for a few keywords like "filesystem" and "versioning" with "linux", and possibly just throw VMS in there for fun (iirc, it has/had a filesystem that does that sort of thing automatically), but no guarantees.
[06:40] <silvaran> chomsky: That sucks... I wonder if you had a look at the edubuntu upgrading instructions (how to go from ubuntu to edubuntu) if it might give you a clue as to what happened and how to undo it...
[06:41] <chomsky> ok
[06:41] <TestDummy> Hey, is there a way to get that update icon to go away?
[06:41] <silvaran> fuckbox... what a great hostname :)
[06:41] <MoebiuxRAMONE> what plugins should i install for it and were to find them
[06:41] <MoebiuxRAMONE> (some url )
[06:41] <chomsky> :D
[06:41] <TestDummy> (Without actually updating like it is begging me to)
[06:41] <chomsky> yeah... i treat my PC how it needs to be treated :D
[06:42] <MoebiuxRAMONE> propagandhi
[06:42] <MoebiuxRAMONE> DO U KNOW HOW
[06:43] <firstent> fluxt if did everything exactly as the wikipage, but i changed username by roman i instaled in
[06:43] <Grark> Ok something weird.
[06:43] <Grark> a couple of applications refuse to launch
[06:43] <Grark> when they were working earlier tonight
[06:44] <Grark> namely azareus and vmare
[06:44] <Mosi> Can anyone tell me why my range of sound output seems to be remarkably lower in Linux than it is in OS X? I've looked at all the possible throttles in the volume control panel, and on XMMS itself, but i can't seem to find anything throttled way down
[06:44] <fluxt> firstent, does the plugin exist?.. ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplug*
[06:44] <firstent> fluxt let me try
[06:45] <MoebiuxRAMONE> somebody send me wich plugings do i need to play mpehg in totem player
[06:45] <volCOM_b0i> Mosi, have you tried alsamixer in a terminal?
[06:45] <firstent> i get this
[06:45] <firstent> fluxt i get this

[06:46] <Mosi> volCOM_b0i: yeah. i just checkd again, and it's all up
[06:46] <firstent> sorry about that
[06:46] <fluxt> firstent, select the sun java plugin via... sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:46] <volCOM_b0i> I have never had this problem. Sorry.  I have now clue.
[06:46] <volCOM_b0i> no^
[06:46] <bradd_> hello everyone
[06:46] <MoebiuxRAMONE> fluxt
[06:47] <bradd_> how do I get that 3ddestop to run after i download it???
[06:47] <MoebiuxRAMONE> which plugings do i need to play mpeg in the totem player
[06:47] <volCOM_b0i> 3ddesk in terminal
[06:48] <_jason> ubotu: tell MoebiuxRAMONE about multimedia
[06:48] <bradd_> I have to type that in everytime?
[06:48] <volCOM_b0i> you can bind a key to it :)
[06:48] <bradd_> hmm
[06:48] <volCOM_b0i> i use xbindkeys
[06:48] <bradd_> aight, thanx
[06:48] <behrooz> is there any skype version for ubuntu and if so where do i get it? thanks :)
[06:48] <bradd_> an is there a way to play MP3???
[06:49] <GigaClon> !skype
[06:49] <ubotu> from memory, skype is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto/ Breezy deb: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages/
[06:49] <MoebiuxRAMONE> gotcha jason
[06:49] <volCOM_b0i> search Mp3 in synaptic and download all the mpeg and mp3 codecs.  AmaroK is great as a player.
[06:50] <MoebiuxRAMONE> with this already is half problem gone
[06:50] <volCOM_b0i> Xmms is like older winamps.
[06:50] <rishi> hi
[06:51] <rishi> hope everyone's well...i am not
[06:51] <rishi> i have a problem
[06:51] <rishi> could someone help me
[06:52] <bradd_> now how do I get Xbindkeys to run???
[06:52] <firstent> fluxt are i back?
[06:52] <mikebot> why is it that in openoffice, when i select text that is double spaced and press ctrl+1, it makes it bold, size 16 font, and removes justification?
[06:52] <fluxt> firstent, well you have the plugin installed, it should work
[06:52] <behrooz> thanks, but seems too complicated for me :(
[06:52] <MoebiuxRAMONE> wich is the massive choice ---------> amarock or xmms
[06:52] <anto9us> rishi, possibly, just ask your question, if someone knows, they'll answer :)
[06:52] <MoebiuxRAMONE> decide
[06:52] <sarra> xmms is based on winamp, you decide how good that is :P
[06:52] <volCOM_b0i> in terminal type xbindkeys, it will tell you how to make a config file
[06:53] <firstent> fluxt i installed everything, but now i thing i have to link it with firefox
[06:53] <rishi> So i was trying to install Gentoo before breezy...big mistake.  I have GRUB installed from that attempt
[06:53] <rishi> but it doesn't recognize windows
[06:53] <mikebot> also, when i open banshee, it says starting banshee in the bottom, but nothing opens, anyone help me with that?
[06:53] <rishi> so it only boots ubuntu
[06:53] <fluxt> firstent, what you showed me shows that it is
[06:53] <rishi> how do i make it recognize windows?
[06:53] <lemix> Anyone familiar with the NeverWinter Nights installation Help me??? with the mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
[06:53] <rishi> the big thing...is that there is a chance i installed grub to MBR...which i think might be a bad thing.
[06:54] <firstent> fluxt so suppoustly it is working?

[06:54] <lemix> skype? you can install that on ubuntu?
[06:54] <GigaClon> yeah

[06:54] <behrooz> i m asking...
[06:54] <rishi> that's what i was afraid of, but i don't want to do that...i'm willing to mess with shit if i have to?

[07:03] <bradd_> ok, how do I set up a key to do something?
[07:03] <volCOM_b0i> look at how it binds keys to open programs, and at the bottom make one that will open 3ddesk
[07:03] <anto9us> !dapper
[07:03] <ubotu> The next release of Ubuntu is Dapper Drake - /join #ubuntu+1 for discussion

[07:03] <firstent> MoebiuxRAMONE give it to me
[07:03] <lemix> can anyone help me solve a problem with running neverwinter nights, console error: mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding??
[07:05] <volCOM_b0i> brad you can enter something like this
[07:05] <volCOM_b0i> "3ddesk"
[07:05] <firstent> fluxt have u set ureevolution mail account?
[07:05] <volCOM_b0i> control + d + release
[07:05] <volCOM_b0i> then when you hold control and push d, it will run 3ddesk
[07:06] <Agent_bob> lemix  sorry, not i.
[07:06] <Agent_bob> just wanted you to know you weren't being ignored.
[07:06] <lemix> well i didnt know there for a second
[07:06] <lemix> so thanks
[07:06] <lemix> God, Ive been through forums in the past hour
[07:07] <Agent_bob> lemix have you asked in #linuxhelp ?
[07:07] <mike0002> will objectdock work over vnc?
[07:07] <lemix> no
[07:07] <Agent_bob> lemix have you asked in ##linux ?
[07:07] <lemix> no too
[07:07] <volCOM_b0i> ok, bradd, after you have added that to your xbindkeysrc file, you need to restart xbindkeys.  type, sudo killall xbindkeys  then run xbindkeys again and see if it works
[07:07] <lemix> i will go there
[07:07] <mike0002> lol
[07:07] <mike0002> that would be pretty sweet if it did
[07:08] <mike0002> so no 3d stuff works over vnc then?
[07:08] <Agent_bob> either of those might be a good place when no one seems to be here that knows.
[07:08] <mike0002> which vnc server program is the best
[07:08] <mike0002> and which should i install
[07:08] <fluxt> firstent, no
[07:09] <firstent> fluxt do u download ure mails to ure pc?
[07:09] <jmworx> Just read the report about the nasty root passwd bug. Any idea what I don't seem to be affected (installed 5.10 from scratch)
[07:09] <fluxt> mike0002, realvnc works
[07:09] <Agent_bob> anyone know the minimum packages required for an x interface ?
[07:09] <fluxt> firstent, not anymore, if i did, i'd use thunderbird
[07:10] <fluxt> Agent_bob, dependancies get installed automatically..
[07:10] <firstent> does it works with ubuntu?
[07:10] <bradd_> ok, i entered Killall in terminal.... then it gave me a list.... is that right?
[07:10] <Agent_bob> no help
[07:10] <firstent> fluxt does it works with ubuntu?
[07:10] <volCOM_b0i> has anyone gotten hotway to work for hotmail using thunderbird?
[07:10] <Madpilot> jmworx: the fix for that has already happened
[07:11] <thomas`> is there a disk cleanup in ubuntu? to clean any unneccasary files? kindalike windows disk cleanup. i
[07:11] <julianobastos> how do i install gtk from apt-get?
[07:11] <jean> hi
[07:11] <volCOM_b0i> bradd you have to type, killall xbindkeys
[07:11] <volCOM_b0i> then type xbindkeys to run it again,a nd then try it
[07:11] <Agent_bob> is twm still the lightest wm ?
[07:11] <fluxt> firstent, yes, you can download it from mozilla.org perhaps there's a package
[07:12] <bradd_> ok, I need to get use to this shit... I just got it today.... sorry im a noob
[07:12] <Viper2026> hey, does anyone know how to get xvid files to playback in totem?
[07:12] <alekz> hi i cant remove php4 because of this error: E: phpmyadmin: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127
[07:12] <firstent> fluxt ok thanls
[07:12] <mike0002> is there a way to tell what package versions apt is giving me?
[07:12] <volCOM_b0i> we've all been there bradd haha
[07:12] <mike0002> cause tightvnc uses video drivers in only since 1.3x
[07:12] <fluxt> firstent, npz, you don't have to use it, evolution? might be better. i just use what i know works
[07:13] <bradd_> it didn't work..... damn
[07:13] <volCOM_b0i> "3ddesk"
[07:13] <firstent> fluxt i couldnt set evolution
[07:13] <volCOM_b0i> control + k + release
[07:13] <volCOM_b0i> enter those two lines
[07:14] <jmworx> Madpilot: OK, I forgot I had patched my system a few hours ago :-)
[07:14] <fluxt> Viper2026, apt-cache showpkg <packagename>
[07:14] <volCOM_b0i> that binds control and k to 3ddesk
[07:14] <bradd_> do I enter "control + d" in the::: *.xbindkeyssrc (~) - gedit::: window that opens?
[07:14] <fluxt> firstent, ok. i don't even know what it is :)
[07:14] <bradd_> and then "3ddesk"
[07:14] <volCOM_b0i> when you type, gedit .xbindkeysrc
[07:14] <firstent> ha ha ha
[07:15] <volCOM_b0i> a window will open, it will be a text file
[07:15] <fluxt> but i have it installed!
[07:15] <bradd_> uh huh
[07:15] <volCOM_b0i> at the end of the file enter this
[07:15] <Viper2026> fluxt, i need to find a package that has the xvid decoder
[07:15] <volCOM_b0i> "3ddesk"
[07:15] <volCOM_b0i> control + d + release
[07:15] <volCOM_b0i> and save it
[07:15] <bradd_> ok ok, i had it backwards
[07:15] <fluxt> firstent, evolution looks very straight forward to me
[07:16] <firstent> but im not sure how to add my acounts
[07:16] <volCOM_b0i> now killall xbindkeys again, and run it again by typing xbindkeys and see if it works
[07:16] <bradd_> do I have to add those "#" sings?
[07:16] <volCOM_b0i> no thos will comment it out
[07:16] <bradd_> signs*
[07:17] <fluxt> Viper2026, libxvidcore4
[07:17] <Viper2026> thanks
[07:17] <Agent_bob> in most configuration syntax in linux  # means ignore  to the system.
[07:17] <fluxt> Viper2026, apt-cache search <packagenamepartial>
[07:17] <Viper2026> ok
[07:18] <sumon> Hi , I am facing a big problem to setup ndiswrapper
[07:18] <Viper2026> libxvidcore4 is giving me a not found error though
[07:18] <fluxt> it might be in the multiverse
[07:18] <fluxt> !multiverse
[07:18] <michael117> I've had ubuntu installed on my computer and soon after I installed it, I configured sound to work on some program, but not all. Now after a few months, I have come back to ubuntu and forgot how I configured sound to work before, but would like to have the same sound settings universally apply to all programs on my machine
[07:18] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[07:18] <sumon> When I do apt update i get a lot error
[07:19] <Spec> !easysource
[07:19] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[07:19] <mike0002> how can i find out what version of a package apt is giving me
[07:19] <fluxt> sumon, did you use.. sudo apt-get update  ..???
[07:19] <jmworx> Madpilot: Actually, the last update I did was before the fix appeared. Yet, my system is unaffected (although another one was).
[07:19] <Spec> oo, that's cool
[07:19] <Spec> mike0002: once it's installed, or before it's installed?
[07:19] <mike0002> before
[07:19] <mike0002> or after
[07:19] <Spec> mike0002: apt-cache showpkg <package>
[07:20] <sumon> yes but still error msg
[07:20] <fluxt> sumon, please share the error message with the chan
[07:20] <sumon> I am really tired about ubuntu .it's so tulf
[07:21] <Viper2026> fluxt, i found libxvidcore4 and installed it, but totem still won't play my xvids
[07:21] <sumon> How can I do that
[07:21] <fluxt> sumon, then perhaps you should use the synaptic gui
[07:21] <thrice`> hrm...I thought dapper was suppose to have gnome 2.14
[07:21] <bradd_> well I saved the canges and quit, then restarted xbindkeys and it didn't work
[07:21] <mike0002> Fatal server error:
[07:21] <mike0002> could not open default font 'fixed'
[07:21] <mike0002> wtf does that mean? in tightvncserver trying to run it
[07:21] <michael117> How can I configure sound settings to work universally on all apps?
[07:21] <Agent_bob> sumon generally with copy and paste...
[07:21] <bradd_> #"3ddesk"
[07:21] <bradd_> #  Control + d
[07:21] <mike0002> is there a default fonts package lol?
[07:21] <bradd_> is that right?
[07:21] <volCOM_b0i> take out #
[07:21] <fluxt> Viper2026, i got this uber cool script that installed all the good video stuff.. i just have to remember the name...
[07:22] <elkbuntu> thrice`, afaik it will, they're just waiting on it to be fully released or something
[07:22] <volCOM_b0i> the # will comment that line out, and make it not work.
[07:22] <Viper2026> yeah, i could use that :D
[07:22] <sumon> Actually I need to setupndiswrapper to set up my wirless internet
[07:22] <bradd_> ok
[07:22] <sumon> W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ubuntu-backports.mi rrormax.net hoary-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/u buntu-backports.mirrormax.net_dists_hoary-backports_main_binary -i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[07:22] <sumon>
[07:22] <michael117> How can I configure sound settings to work universally on all apps?
[07:22] <sumon> I get this msg
[07:22] <thrice`> elkbuntu: yes, I knwo it will; just thoguht dapper was supposed to as of flight 5
[07:23] <elkbuntu> uboty tell sumon about paste
[07:23] <elkbuntu> ubotu tell sumon about paste
[07:23] <Agent_bob> !sound
[07:23] <ubotu> [sound]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[07:23] <bradd_> Alright, thanks volCOM
[07:24] <elkbuntu> thrice`, there is a possibility dapper will be delayed, there might be another flight. meanwhile, dapper discussions should occur in #ubuntu+1
[07:24] <Agent_bob> michael117 see ubotu ^
[07:24] <volCOM_b0i> no problem
[07:24] <pancakelizard> is there an easy way to change the aspect ratio?
[07:24] <RossH> hmmm anyone know any reason why i can't get dapper 4 live to run right....my screen just goes blank.....i'm using a geforce card
[07:24] <Viper2026> fluxt, i have to go afk, if you find the script's name, please pm it to me
[07:25] <sumon> I sent it in pastein
[07:26] <sumon> did u get it?
[07:26] <fluxt> Viper2026, automatix google it
[07:26] <frank23> !automatix
[07:26] <ubotu> automatix is probably unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[07:26] <Madpilot> !tell fluxt about automatix
[07:27] <fluxt> !tell Viper2026 about automatix
[07:27] <xanavim> overkill
[07:27] <elkbuntu> i'd reckon
[07:27] <pancakelizard> hello?
[07:27] <Viper2026> thanks
[07:27] <fluxt> hey, the thing works
[07:27] <allisfree> i configured mldonkey-server as a service, but it cant start on booting or manually(/etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start)
[07:27] <kRaKoN> hi there

[07:29] <fluxt> sumon, oh i dont always read stuff that doesn't have my name in it
[07:29] <mike0002> Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
[07:29] <Agent_bob> ok so now i spend an hour updating the sources list.......  then 8 hours on the download,  just to find out that it wond work on my hardware....  sounds about right.
[07:29] <fluxt> MOEBIOUXRamone, ask the chan
[07:29] <mike0002> where do i get default font 'fixed'?
[07:29] <sumon> fluxt , actually i don't know what is next
[07:29] <MOEBIOUXRamone> how do i mount the floppy drive on linux
[07:29] <Agent_bob> xfs running mike0002
[07:29] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: install fdutils
[07:29] <mike0002> yes
[07:29] <Agent_bob> ?
[07:30] <mike0002> xfs is installed
[07:30] <mike0002> dunno if its running
[07:30] <MOEBIOUXRamone> how - i dont manage this so much
[07:30] <bradd_> Is there a way to run OSX on Linux???
[07:30] <sumon> fluxt , i just sent in pastein my problem
[07:30] <mike0002> yeah xfs is running
[07:30] <katz> mounting a floppy drive from the terminal: sudo mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[07:30] <fluxt> sumon, link?
[07:30] <mike0002> is there something i oculd install to fix this?
[07:31] <Agent_bob> MOEBIOUXRamone    sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/disk        assuming /mnt/disk is a dir.
[07:31] <bradd_> Mac OSX on Linux using an AMD cpu
[07:31] <Agent_bob> katz types faster than i do....
[07:31] <mike0002> where do i get default font 'fixed'?
[07:32] <Agent_bob> oh my and i'm lagging 13 seconds also....
[07:32] <pancakelizard> ok, so do i take it nobody wants to tell me?
[07:32] <darkfires> bradd_ maybe in vmware
[07:32] <MOEBIOUXRamone> sudo mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/flop
[07:32] <darkfires> bradd_ but you can do it for sure using pearpc
[07:32] <bradd_> what
[07:32] <darkfires> osx
[07:32] <bradd_> what's that*
[07:32] <MOEBIOUXRamone> but i must specify t file system
[07:32] <darkfires> what's what?
[07:33] <bradd_> pearpc huh
[07:33] <darkfires> powerpc emulator
[07:33] <katz> MOEBIOUXRamone, if auto doesn't work for you, you might want to try 'vfat' or 'msdos'
[07:33] <mike0002> Please set correct fontPath in the tightvncserver script. where is this?
[07:33] <katz> the -t option sets the filesystem
[07:33] <mike0002> what is the correct font path?
 where do i get default font 'fixed'? <--- type  chkfont<tab>     and see if it's not already installed.
[07:33] <bradd_> hmm......... then what is that vmware???
[07:33] <fluxt> does anyone else have the problem where they don't see what people are typing unless they type your name first?
 -t auto is redundant.
[07:33] <mike0002> chkfont not installed
[07:34] <katz> seems so, agent_bo
[07:34] <katz> seems so, agent_bob, i mean
[07:34] <bet0x> damn
[07:34] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: 'sudo apt-get install fdutils ; sudo mkdir /mnt ; sudo fdutilsconfig ; fdmount'
[07:34] <bet0x> Gnome crash wen i change a Theme
[07:34] <darkfires> vmware is a pc emulator
[07:34] <bet0x> :P
[07:34] <Madpilot> fluxt: which IRC app are you using?
   the tab key.... tab completion...
[07:34] <duplex-> darkfires:  No it's not.  It's a virtualizer.  There's a difference.
[07:34] <fluxt> Madkiss, xchat
[07:34] <fluxt> Madpilot, even... xchat
[07:35] <robert11> hello ubunters
[07:35] <darkfires> duplex-: you're absolutely right, but i can't be bothered to explain what a virtualizer is.
[07:35] <Madpilot> fluxt: odd - try quiting & restarting xchat
[07:35] <duplex-> darkfires:  Yeah sorry for the symantics :-/
[07:35] <fluxt> Madpilot, why?
[07:35] <edaniel> Hi, a friend gave me ubuntu 5.10 and I tried the live cd, but unfortunately it "failed to start the X server"--it said  "it is likely that it is not set up correctly." Does someone know what I should do to make it start?
[07:35] <duplex-> darkfires:  semantics, rather.
[07:35] <MOEBIOUXRamone> frogzoo please type me the right command
[07:35] <darkfires> :)
[07:35] <Madpilot> fluxt: because restarting often cures odd behaviours :P
[07:35] <bradd_> do you know anyone who has doen it???
[07:35] <pancakelizard> chicken salda
[07:35] <Agent_bob> i need to just leave until my lag time is lower....    i don't think i'm helping anything with this much lag.
[07:36] <robert11> hi ana
[07:36] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: what do you want, special treatment? see above ^^^
[07:36] <mike0002> how come /etc/vnc.conf is all commented out... is it no longer used?
[07:36] <fluxt> Madpilot, i don't get you
[07:36] <MOEBIOUXRamone> ok
[07:36] <bradd_> and I installed a Nvidia driver for my VGA card and it's still choppy... is there a way I can.... fix that???
[07:36] <ana> hi robert11
[07:36] <mike0002> and how come apache2.2 isnt listed in apt?
[07:37] <darkfires> bradd http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/os-x-running-on-a-tcpa-tpm-free-x86-pc/
[07:37] <Madpilot> fluxt: exit XChat, restart it, and see if it keeps doing the odd behaviour, that's all
[07:37] <robert11> apache2 is listed in apr
[07:37] <robert11> apt
[07:37] <mike0002> apache2.2 isnt tho
[07:37] <fluxt> bradd_, did you read the nvidia readme, check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[07:37] <fluxt> Madpilot, what odd behaviour?
[07:37] <Frogzoo> !tell MOEBIOUXRamone about floppy
[07:37] <pancakelizard> don't eat chicken salad
[07:38] <Madpilot> fluxt: "does anyone else have the problem where they don't see what people are typing unless they type your name first?" <-- that one
[07:38] <robert11> Why not...
[07:38] <robert11> whats wrong with chicken saled
[07:38] <fluxt> yeah, as in it's not highlight in red text therefore slips by unnoticed by my uncaring eye
[07:38] <pancakelizard> because i've asked like 4 times about changing the aspext ratio and no one will answer me.
[07:38] <edaniel> Hi, sorry to interrupt, but: does anyone know that error?
[07:39] <edaniel> above
[07:39] <robert11> Aspect ration from what to what?
[07:39] <robert11> ratio
[07:39] <ana> i have no idea what is going on
[07:39] <pancakelizard> 4*3 to 16*9
[07:39] <robert11> It's a good question
[07:40] <Frogzoo> ana: makes 2 of us ;)
[07:40] <mastertsunami> i'm highly confused.
[07:40] <Madpilot> !tell pancakelizard about fixres
[07:40] <MOEBIOUXRamone> sudo mkdir /mnt
[07:40] <fluxt> Frogzoo, more like 5M of us
[07:40] <mike0002> is postfix internet configuration local mail or mail used by the mailing functions in php
[07:40] <robert11> In X config you can select the ratio in pixels
[07:40] <balay> !tell balay about fixres
[07:40] <mike0002> like could i send mail to the internet through postfix?
[07:40] <MOEBIOUXRamone> sudo mkdir /mnt
[07:40] <MOEBIOUXRamone> cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists
[07:41] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Frogzoo
[07:41] <robert11> well /mnt does exist
[07:41] <elkbuntu> mike0002, yes you can send mail to localhost.localdomain addresses
[07:41] <katz> that should be mkdir /mnt/floppy
[07:41] <robert11> do you want to create something under /mnt like /mnt/foo
[07:41] <MOEBIOUXRamone> ok
[07:41] <katz> if you want to mount your floppy to /mnt/floppy
[07:41] <MOEBIOUXRamone> got t url
[07:42] <MOEBIOUXRamone> thanks
[07:42] <ana> bye!!!
[07:42] <robert11> bye anna
[07:43] <katz> in ubuntu, everything is under /media, so you might want to create the directory under /media, i.e. /media/floppy, you will have to do 'sudo mkdir /media/floppy'
[07:43] <Frogzoo> mike0002: indeed you can use postfix as an mta
[07:43] <MOEBIOUXRamone> yes
[07:43] <MOEBIOUXRamone> katz
[07:44] <poningru> can everyone do me a favor go into a terminal and type in sudo apt-get update
[07:44] <mike0002> so should i just leave it as localhost.localdomain or put in my domain name
[07:44] <MOEBIOUXRamone> i have live vs - needing floopy
[07:44] <Frogzoo> poningru: you load testing or what?
[07:44] <DBO> hello
[07:44] <poningru> Frogzoo: no dude security bug
[07:45] <DBO> can someone point me to support for first timers?
[07:45] <Frogzoo> poningru: ah, consider it done
[07:45] <frank23> poningru: passwords laying around?
[07:45] <Frogzoo> DBO: try the gnome getting started guide - click the 'lifesaver' icon on the task bar
[07:45] <Madpilot> DBO: this is it
[07:45] <DBO> Frogzoo
[07:46] <DBO> Im a little behind that bit
[07:46] <DBO> Im actually familiar with the Linux OS itself
[07:46] <DBO> the main problem is getting to that phase
[07:46] <katz> if you do not want to go typing in your terminal just to mount your floppy, edit your '/etc/fstab' file and add the following line: "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto user,noauto 0 0"
[07:46] <Frogzoo> DBO: nonetheless - there's some good tips in the online docs
[07:46] <robert11> If you know Linux but nor Gnome
[07:46] <robert11> then look for things where you "think" they should be
[07:46] <DBO> ok, I will look
[07:46] <robert11> Not where they are in Windows
[07:47] <Frogzoo> DBO: otherwise, try wiki.ubuntu.org
[07:47] <katz> to edit /etc/fstab, type in the terminal "sudo nano /etc/fstab" or "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" (if you like gui)
[07:47] <robert11> Gnome makes alot more sense than windows
[07:47] <DBO> I just need install help, Im a bit worried about hosing my windows install
[07:47] <Frogzoo> DBO: otherwise, try *wiki.ubuntu.com*
[07:47] <DBO> however much I dislike windows, I do need it
[07:48] <robert11> If you still need windows...
[07:48] <sean> what packages do i need to download off synaptic to get wine working?
[07:48] <fluxt> wine
[07:48] <robert11> Go to vmware.com and download player for linux tar.gz version
[07:48] <sean> that's it?
[07:48] <poningru> frank23: exactly
[07:48] <Frogzoo> DBO: if your windows is on the first partn, & you install to 2nd partition, the installer will play nicely
[07:48] <robert11> install in home as sudo
[07:48] <fluxt> anything else will install automagically sean
[07:48] <ghost> sean: apt-get handles dependancies. if there are any, it'll let you know
[07:48] <thoreauputic> possibly a better entry in fstab for floppies is /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  vfat    user,noauto,sync   0       0
[07:48] <sean> nice automagically
[07:49] <fluxt> :)
[07:49] <Frogzoo> !tell thoreauputic about floppy
[07:49] <DBO> Frogzoo, has there ever been issues with ubuntu messing up windows installs?
[07:49] <Frogzoo> !floppy
[07:49] <ubotu> To mount floppy disks, see here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone
[07:49] <robert11> install windows in Vmware
[07:49] <DBO> robert11, not an option, sorry
[07:49] <DBO> thank you though
[07:49] <thoreauputic> Frogzoo: thanks, but my fstab entry for floppies works fine ;)
[07:49] <Frogzoo> DBO: I'd be a liar if I said it never happened - but usually I think through ignorance/user error
[07:49] <DBO> oh good, my two specialties
[07:49] <Frogzoo> thoreauputic: I never doubted it :D
[07:49] <lck1> !pastebin
[07:49] <ubotu> rumour has it, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[07:49] <thoreauputic> Frogzoo: :-)
[07:50] <Frogzoo> DBO: lol
[07:50] <DBO> the wiki does not seem to have documentation on the install process
[07:50] <DBO> or am I missing it?
[07:50] <sean> if i download a package that's doesn't end with .deb how do I install it?
[07:50] <DBO> oh wait
[07:50] <DBO> I see it
[07:50] <joevandyk> I've got a little network going with a windows box, ubuntu, and a mac.  All hooked up to a 10/100 switch.  File transfers (samba and scp) to and from the windows machine tops out at about 1.4MBps.  File transfers between the mac and ubuntu go at about 11MBps (the highest i can probably get).  Any ideas on what's wrong with Windows?  I swear it used to be faster.
[07:50] <frank23> sean: how does it end?
[07:51] <sean> tar.gz
[07:51] <thoreauputic> sean: with rare exceptions, you don't need to do that
[07:51] <Frogzoo> DBO: -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation
[07:51] <thoreauputic> sean: which app ?
[07:51] <intelikey> hey hey hey,  0 lag  :)
[07:51] <sean> thoreauputic, like the latest version of nmap i think it was
[07:51] <thoreauputic> !info nmap
[07:51] <ubotu> nmap: (The Network Mapper), section net, is extra. Version: 3.81-2ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 558 kB, Installed size: 1900 kB
[07:52] <intelikey> isn't there a 'multiverse' repo for hoary also ?
[07:52] <robert11> Just curious.. Why is Vmware not an option?
[07:52] <thoreauputic> intelikey: sure
[07:52] <intelikey> i got uni,  but no multi,  ?
[07:52] <sean> thoreauputic, cuz i read that some of the repositories didn't have the most up-to-date version
[07:52] <lck1> anyone knows why i kept getting these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10112
[07:52] <fluxt> robert11, because it's commercial
[07:52] <phantasmoholic-> I think that it should be required that any Ubuntu user who figures out how to do something, must also spend an equal amount of time creating some documentation on how to do it again, so that other people will benifit
[07:52] <lck1> im trying to make BitchX
[07:53] <thoreauputic> intelikey: just add multiverse to each universe line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:53] <Frogzoo> phantasmoholic-: talk to ubotu
[07:53] <robert11> Ah. But it is free
[07:53] <intelikey> thoreauputic it is   .... universe multiverse        correct ?
[07:53] <thoreauputic> intelikey: and update, of course
[07:53] <thoreauputic> intelikey: yes
[07:53] <joevandyk> phantasmoholic-, i think it should be required that if something requires documentation to do, it should probably be fixed.
[07:53] <MOEBIOUXRamone> eu the bash send me an advertising asking me for the file system
[07:53] <frank23> Ick1: you can get bitchX with synaptic you know?
[07:53] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Unable to mount the selected volume.:
[07:53] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[07:53] <intelikey> well it failed to update.   maybe a typo.   i do that you know.
[07:53] <phantasmoholic-> joevandyk: I agree with you, thats why I never use any linux distribution that I install
[07:54] <DBO> Foogzoo, the hardware support area in the wiki does not like my video card (nVidia 7800 GT), should I be worried?
[07:54] <fluxt> joevandyk, unfortunately nothing seems so straight forward
[07:54] <thoreauputic> intelikey: ah, yes, I've done that too ;-)
[07:54] <Madpilot> phantasmoholic-: wiki.ubuntu.com - go nuts :P
[07:54] <Frogzoo> !tell DBO about nvidia
[07:54] <firstent> does any of u knows how to install the thunderbird??
[07:54] <phantasmoholic-> Madpilot: I did, done, and do
[07:54] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Frogzoo please eu the bash send me an advertising asking me for the file system ****Unable to mount the selected volume.***Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[07:54] <Madpilot> phantasmoholic-: excellent
[07:54] <thoreauputic> firstent:  sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[07:55] <thoreauputic> :)
[07:55] <lck1> anyone knows why i kept getting these errors, i was trying to 'make' BitchX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10112
[07:55] <thoreauputic> firstent: ah - mozilla-thunderbird actually
[07:55] <Madpilot> lck1: BitchX is in Ubuntu's Universe repo
[07:56] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Frogzoo:  Frogzoo please eu the bash send me an advertising asking me for the file system ****Unable to mount the selected volume.***Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[07:56] <intelikey> it seems to be working now so my lag time will go back up for a while....  i'll be back when it finishes.   (in a day or two.  heh)   dialup
[07:56] <lck1> foreal
[07:56] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone: what command gave you that error ?
[07:57] <Madpilot> lck1: have you enabled universe?
[07:57] <thoreauputic> !info bitchx
[07:57] <ubotu> bitchx: (Advanced Internet Relay Chat client), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 1:1.1-2 (breezy), Packaged size: 1466 kB, Installed size: 6484 kB
[07:57] <intelikey> Madpilot in ubuntu it's   'bitchx'  no caps   (hoary anyhow)
[07:57] <bradd_> is there a way to get screenshots???
[07:57] <firstent> thoreauputic it says that the the package wasnt found
[07:57] <bradd_> really fast...please
[07:57] <Madpilot> bradd_: hit the PrntScrn key
[07:57] <lck1> oh man
[07:57] <thoreauputic> firstent: then you need to enable repositories
[07:57] <thoreauputic> !repos
[07:57] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[07:57] <lck1> yes, i didn't even think about that
[07:57] <lck1> installing now
[07:57] <thoreauputic> firstent: see ubotu above
[07:57] <MOEBIOUXRamone>  sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floopy
[07:57] <MOEBIOUXRamone>  but after i create t dir of media/floopy
[07:58] <firstent> thoreauputic ok
[07:58] <phantasmoholic-> I'm on the verge of getting married, and am starting to realize I will not have many free blocks of hours to just sit at a computer and figure stuff out, I'm going to have to live a life of effeciency, and that might cut Linux out of my life completly
[07:58] <mike0002> is there a way to do a sudo in winSCP?
[07:58] <bradd_> I did that and it doesn't do anything
[07:58] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone: try pmount /media/floppy
[07:58] <firstent> thoreauputic but it is the 1.0.7 version, there's a new onw
[07:58] <DBO> is the hardware support list on the wiki up to date?
[07:58] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: read this...
[07:58] <phantasmoholic-> If I am only going to be able to have a couple hobbies, I definiatly dont want linux installation and configuration to be one of them ! =)
[07:58] <bradd_> i opened gimp and pasted and nothing happened
[07:58] <Frogzoo> !tell MOEBIOUXRamone about floppy
[07:59] <thoreauputic> firstent: yes, the breezy version is the one that was current when breezy released
[07:59] <MOEBIOUXRamone> thats life eating**fucking***marryng***divorcing***gettin sick and  dying
[07:59] <MOEBIOUXRamone> THAnks FROGZOO
[07:59] <Madpilot> bradd_: if you're running Gnome, pressing the Print Screen key should bring up a screenshot app
[07:59] <firstent> thoreauputic ive downloaded the last one but o dont know how to install it
[08:00] <nalioth> MOEBIOUXRamone: please watch your language in #ubuntu
[08:00] <phantasmoholic-> Yah, in the past my life has been all about me, but now that I'm starting a family, its like a wake up call that now I wont be able to do that
[08:00] <frank23> phantasmoholic-: Now that everything works, I find linux pretty boring. It just takes a while to get it right the first time
[08:00] <thoreauputic> firstent: is there some pressing reason for needing the latest one?
[08:00] <phantasmoholic-> frank23: I dream of having a linux installation that would be like that
[08:00] <firstent> thoreauputic in the web page says that some bugs were fixed
[08:01] <Madpilot> phantasmoholic-: Ubuntu seems to be that, for a lot of people
[08:01] <nalioth> poningru: you about?
[08:01] <MOEBIOUXRamone> mmm
[08:01] <phantasmoholic-> Madpilot: Its my favorite so far
[08:01] <poningru> yeah
[08:02] <nalioth> poningru: be our guest
[08:02] <MOEBIOUXRamone> time makes everything inussul
[08:02] <MOEBIOUXRamone> inussual
[08:02] <poningru> oh wow
[08:02] <poningru> thanks
[08:02] <bet0x> hum what is the correct way to add users on Ubuntu, i add a user from console, and in X some programs , like sudo, or audio dont work
[08:02] <phantasmoholic-> I've been trying to get dual monitors working for 4 weeks and I'm about to give up
[08:02] <nalioth> bet0x: System > Admin > users and groups is one way
[08:02] <Madpilot> bet0x: only your first user has sudo ability, by default
[08:03] <bet0x> well, that a error so
[08:03] <MOEBIOUXRamone> pmount /media/floppy
[08:03] <bet0x> :P
[08:03] <MOEBIOUXRamone> thoreapeutic: Error: invalid device /media/floppy (must be in /dev/)
[08:03] <phantasmoholic-> I even tried reinstalling and using one of the dapper flight's
[08:03] <Frogzoo> bet0x: you need to add new users to quite a few groups - eg audio for starters
[08:03] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone: odd, works here
[08:04] <bet0x> Frogzoo, can u give your "id" for see the groups?
[08:04] <phantasmoholic-> Its just nuts that you could put so much effort in to configuring one thing, and it still doesn't work, and there is no one that knows how to make it work
[08:04] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone:  what does    grep floppy /etc/fstab    say?
[08:04] <bet0x> uid=1000(bet0x) gid=100(users) grupos=100(users)
[08:04] <bet0x> ./exec -o id
[08:04] <bet0x> :P
[08:04] <firstent> thoreauputic do u think that i can install the old version and update it later?
[08:04] <Frogzoo> bet0x: just 'groups' perhaps
[08:04] <frank23> phantasmoholic-: So I guess you already tried what's in the wiki as well as in the HOWTOs in the forums?
[08:04] <MOEBIOUXRamone> ok lets see
[08:04] <bet0x> Frogzoo, what u mean?
[08:04] <bet0x> nalioth, i dont have that program :S
[08:04] <DBO> ok, im off to mess up my PC, curse at myself, format it, and get it right the second time, thanks for the help =)
[08:05] <thoreauputic> firstent: yes - you can update to dapper when it is released ( probably late April or so)
[08:05] <thoreauputic> firstent: I'm sure the current breeezy version works fine :)
[08:05] <Frogzoo> bet0x: run 'groups' & see what groups you're in - add the same groups for new users (must be an easier way though)
[08:05] <firstent> thoreauputic ok
[08:06] <bet0x> users
[08:06] <bet0x> im on that groun only
[08:06] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Unable to mount the selected volume.:
[08:06] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[08:06] <MOEBIOUXRamone> it appear in the saving screen
[08:06] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: are you sure the floppy's formatted?
[08:06] <MOEBIOUXRamone> but in the bsah t command u gave didnt send error messages
[08:06] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone: I repeat:  what  does  grep floppy /etc/fstab  say  ?
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> for sure
[08:07] <bet0x> Frogzoo, i dont know the correct groups
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> anything -- that means that allows everything
[08:07] <chuckyp> Frogzoo: damn go to sleep.  Lol you've been here all day.
[08:07] <Frogzoo> bet0x: that's why run groups to find out
[08:07] <thoreauputic> MOEBIOUXRamone: if that grep returned nothing, you need to edit /etc/fstab
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> but in the saving icon
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> appears the error
[08:07] <Frogzoo> chuckyp: lol - just got home
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Unable to mount the selected volume.:
[08:07] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[08:07] <bet0x> Frogzoo, look this:
[08:07] <bet0x> users
[08:08] <bet0x> i got only that from groups
[08:08] <bet0x> ;)
[08:08] <chuckyp> Frogzoo: I just got to work.
[08:08] <Frogzoo> chuckyp: have fun :)
[08:08] <Frogzoo> bet0x: run 'groups' from your initial user
[08:08] <bet0x> i dont have "initial users", that is but i ask here :)
[08:09] <bet0x> u got now? :)
[08:09] <Frogzoo> bet0x: or just have a poke around in /etc/groups
[08:09] <lck1> Madpilot, ok, BitchX is installed, and bitchx-gtk, but where can i find the gui?
[08:09] <lck1> id even install bitchx-dev
[08:09] <Frogzoo> bet0x: or just have a poke around in */etc/group*
[08:09] <thoreauputic> lck1:  bitchx is a CLI IRC client
[08:09] <MOEBIOUXRamone> mount t floopy is my only chance to dont lose what i just did all day here in linux
[08:09] <bet0x> o damn, thanx Frogzoo , i never think on that
[08:09] <bet0x> lolz
[08:10] <MOEBIOUXRamone> and no talkin about mountin usb devices
[08:10] <thoreauputic> lck1: it doesn't have a GUI as such
[08:10] <firstent> thoreauputic what program do u use to burn cd, dvds?
[08:10] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: mail it somewhere?
[08:10] <thoreauputic> firstent: mostly gnomebaker, sometimes nautilus
[08:10] <lck1> then what is gtk?
[08:10] <thoreauputic> !info gnomebaker

[08:16] <nvicf> hi, I have no experience with grub, but it keeps hanging, is the initrd file really necessary?what for?and how can I create it?I've been digging the mkinitrd docs and I can't make it works, any help?
[08:16] <bet0x> we need a gui for this
[08:16] <bet0x> or a "Ubuntu Add User"
[08:16] <bet0x> :)
[08:16] <thoreauputic> firstent: gnomebaker is  a dedicated CD burning app, nautilus has a built-in function under  burn:///
[08:16] <bet0x> let me make one :PPP
[08:17] <frank23> bet0x: there is a gui way to add users
[08:17] <Whatsisname> bet0x there is a gui for it
[08:17] <bet0x> name?
[08:17] <MOEBIOUXRamone> horeauputic: did u see the error message
[08:17] <thoreauputic> bet0x: there is a GUI
[08:17] <Madpilot> bet0x: System -> Admin -> Users & Groups
[08:17] <thoreauputic> bet0x: look under System- admin
[08:17] <martinjh99> Is there a repo for OpenOffice 2.0.2???
[08:17] <thoreauputic> bet0x: as Madpilot said .. :)
[08:18] <MOEBIOUXRamone> thoreauputic: thanks dude  ill try  perhaps
[08:18] <bet0x> Madpilot, i dont have that
[08:18] <Frogzoo> thoreauputic: MOEBIOUXRamone I think 'sudo mount /dev/fd/0 /media/floppy0'
[08:18] <bet0x> im not on the group admin i think
[08:18] <firstent> thoreauputic see u tomorrow
[08:18] <bet0x> =)
[08:18] <firstent> thoreauputic gotta sleep
[08:18] <thoreauputic> Frogzoo: I added the -t vfat because sometimes the file system recognition is a problem
[08:18] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: it looks like that doc is wrong - the fstab entry should be '/dev/fd/0'  not '/dev/fd0'
[08:18] <Madpilot> bet0x: are you logged w/ the first user account on this computer?
[08:18] <shukhrat> Hello All
[08:19] <thoreauputic> firstent: OK - sleep well
[08:19] <MOEBIOUXRamone> Frogzoo: the same (in t bash still requiring th specification of the filesystem type
[08:19] <bet0x> no Madpilot  i REMOVE the acct, i wanna fix that :)
[08:20] <thoreauputic> Frogzoo: wrong - /dev/fs0 is correct
[08:20] <shukhrat> Dear all i would like connect to another lunix machine from my Ubuntu is it possible ?
[08:20] <thoreauputic> * /dev/fd0
[08:20] <Madpilot> bet0x: that's messier - I'm not sure how to recover - someone else will, though
[08:20] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: of course
[08:20] <bet0x> i manually modify the /etc/groups
[08:20] <bet0x> i will rty now
[08:21] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: what kind of connection?
[08:21] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: TCP
[08:21] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: erm...
[08:21] <stikif> hi .. my rhythmbox won't play mp3s anymore .. it says "unable to open resource for writing" any ideas how to fix this
[08:22] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: more specific please - ssh ?  What protocol ?
[08:22] <Frogzoo> MOEBIOUXRamone: if you still can't get this to work, pastebin your mount command & the result, as well as the output of 'grep floppy /etc/fstab'
[08:22] <MOEBIOUXRamone> in any of these ways looks like beein working
[08:22] <MOEBIOUXRamone> perhaps, were a great help
[08:22] <MOEBIOUXRamone> im sure that the missing error is here somewhere
[08:22] <nvicf> how the hell do I create an initrd image for my new kernel?
[08:22] <MOEBIOUXRamone> this things happens to us :amateurs
[08:22] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: is it possible to connect to remote machine terminal
[08:23] <MOEBIOUXRamone> im gonna print this docs and for sure it will be ending well
[08:23] <MOEBIOUXRamone> at least this works for something else
[08:23] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: if the remote machine runs openssh server, you can connect with  ssh
[08:24] <MOEBIOUXRamone> practicing my bad bad englishh
[08:24] <MOEBIOUXRamone> tengo poca practica in my english
[08:24] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: i just want coonect to remote machine from my terminal i have root password real Ip adress
[08:24] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: you don't want to connect as root normally.  ssh <remote IP> should connect you
[08:24] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: ssh <IP_ADDRESS> it's all ?
[08:25] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: assuming the machine is running ssh, yes
[08:26] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: or if your user name is different,  ssh username@<IP number>
[08:27] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: how i can coonect as a root
[08:27] <shukhrat> Permission denied, please try again.
[08:27] <shukhrat><EMAIL_ADDRESS>password:
[08:27] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: only if root login is allowed on the remote machine
[08:27] <MOEBIOUXRamone> WELL THIS IS THE END OF MY ALMOST ENDLESS  FIRST IRC SESSION
[08:28] <thoreauputic> shukhrat: obviously you need the right password ;-)
[08:28] <MOEBIOUXRamone> dont know u but here in latinoamerica everybody is zzzzzzzzzzz
[08:28] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: it's allowed (root)

[08:33] <Psi-Jack> Hmm, anyone know if loopmounting a bin file from a .bin/.cue is doable?
[08:34] <jetscreamer> Psi-Jack: you could at the very least convert it to a .iso and mount it
[08:34] <konfuzed> can any on etell me if this is true  http://digg.com/linux_unix/Administrator_root_password_readable_in_cleartext_on_Ubuntu_Breezy
[08:34] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: Many Thanks ! it's work !
[08:34] <Madpilot> konfuzed: it's already been fixed
[08:34] <Psi-Jack> jetscreamer: What would I use to convert it. I remember seeing something like bincue2iso or something in gentoo's packages once, but I can't find the same in apt-cache searching.
[08:35] <jetscreamer> bin2iso
[08:35] <jetscreamer> you may have to compile it, but it is like one of the easiest things i've ever seen to compile
[08:35] <Psi-Jack> jetscreamer: Hmmm.. That's not in an official repo, is it?
[08:35] <jetscreamer> probably not
[08:35] <shukhrat> thoreauputic: Many Thanks ! it's work !
[08:37] <_frank> I'm running a distributed web crawling client. It downloads thousands of webpages. Now once in a while my connection drops and I have to reset my cable modem. My router seems ok. Would the problem most probably be a hardware issue with my modem or my ISP that drops my connection until I reste the modem?
[08:37] <Psi-Jack> jetscreamer: Know the URL for bin2iso?
[08:40] <Sp4rKy> does anyone  use e17 here ?
[08:40] <Psi-Jack> I don't even, and will never really use enlightenment ever again.

[08:44] <fluxt> robinl1, did you install sun java?
[08:44] <robinl1> fluxt: No
[08:44] <fluxt> robinl1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-e2ebd70ede0e3eb2117ffbd618d2295dd1540dca
[08:44] <robinl1> or maybe Automatix did
[08:45] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[08:45] <ubotu> well, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[08:45] <robinl1> fluxt: No, i already read that all
[08:45] <fluxt> robinl1, but you said you didn't install sun java
[08:45] <robinl1> i hate automatix..
[08:45] <robinl1> fluxt: and? previous stuff worked with j2re
[08:45] <bet0x> thoreauputic, im fro argentina, and my alt gr dont work (for do the  # or  @ ) you have a idea ?
[08:46] <bet0x> can be tje keyboard layout?
[08:46] <robinl1> so there's an error in the linK/
[08:46] <robinl1> ?
[08:46] <fluxt> robinl1, if you read it, you would have been to suns site, downloaded the binary, installed it
[08:46] <robinl1> i followed the linking step also
[08:46] <thoreauputic> robinl1:  sudo update-alternatives --config java
[08:46] <robinl1> fluxt: never did that, installed j2re, and that worked
[08:46] <robinl1> i don't want sun java! i want blackdown java! lol
[08:46] <jetscreamer> http://freshmeat.net/projects/bin2iso/  http://www.nitwit.de/
[08:46] <thoreauputic> robinl1: if you haven't already
[08:46] <Imsdle> no.. my skype is working well! i just want to get ride of this error. how do i remove broken links
[08:46] <fluxt> robinl1, well you have it, it's installed and working with firefox
[08:46] <robinl1> fluxt: it's installed and NOT working with firefox
[08:47] <robinl1> since i followed the linking step
[08:47] <robinl1> which i think was meant for sun java
[08:47] <robinl1> >_>
[08:47] <thoreauputic> robinl1: have you run the command I gave above?
[08:47] <fluxt> robinl1, well i suggest sun, other than that.. ?
[08:47] <robinl1> thoreauputic: thats for sun java
[08:47] <robinl1> robinl1: why? oO
[08:47] <thoreauputic> thoreauputic: it's for any java
[08:47] <robinl1> always used j2re >.<
[08:47] <thoreauputic> robinl1: sorry - it's for choosing java
[08:47] <thoreauputic> any java
[08:48] <robinl1> thoreauputic: Cha, but see, on my previous installs i just installed j2re and it worked
[08:48] <bet0x> damn loadkeys
[08:48] <robinl1> thoreauputic: so i did something wrong
[08:48] <robinl1> thoreauputic: i need to restore the link
[08:48] <thoreauputic> robinl1: but since breezy there's a "Free " java as wel lby default
[08:48] <fluxt> robinl1, tried sudo update-alternatives --config java
[08:48] <fluxt>  ??
[08:49] <robinl1> which is called blackdown! which i have here!
[08:49] <thoreauputic> just run the command for heaven's sake...
[08:49] <robinl1> fluxt: no..
[08:49] <robinl1> oh ok..
[08:49] <bobyfixer> hello
[08:49] <thoreauputic> robinl1: no, Blackdown is not gcj
[08:49] <robinl1> ... 3 alternatives
[08:49] <thoreauputic> right
[08:49] <thoreauputic> so choose the one you want
[08:49] <fluxt> i hear blackdown doesn't work with everything...
[08:49] <robinl1> its set to this one now:
[08:50] <robinl1> *+    3        /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/java
[08:50] <fluxt> looks like blackdown..
[08:50] <robinl1> how's gij?
[08:50] <fluxt> robinl1, tried reinstalling blackdown?
[08:50] <robinl1> fluxt: nope
[08:50] <fluxt> robinl1, never know your luck
[08:50] <robinl1> gosh i hate automatix
[08:51] <fluxt> robinl1, you could also check your firefox settings and make sure java isn't disable or something craaaazy like that :)
[08:51] <thoreauputic> robinl1: sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugi
[08:51] <thoreauputic> oops  j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin

[08:56] <thoreauputic> robinl1: control yourself
[08:56] <fluxt> Seveas, a virus is a bit strong a word for a badly designed program
[08:57] <Zero_Day> if u want an easy to use browser that fool proof with java use opera
[08:57] <Seveas> fluxt, it is malevolent and spreading fast - aka a virus
[08:57] <fluxt> Seveas, my system runs fine
[08:57] <nbjayme> hello folks. lspci gives me : 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3344 (rev 01)
[08:57] <Seveas> fluxt, it has already triggerd dozens if not hundreds of reinstalls
[08:58] <thoreauputic> fluxt: the fact that your system is fine is not a counter argumnet
[08:58] <nbjayme> i would like to make IGP Unicrhrome 3D to work.
[08:58] <Seveas> !worksforme
[08:58] <ubotu> "Works For Me" is not actually useful advice in any way.
[08:58] <fluxt> Seveas, mind you, the only thing i installed with it were codecs etc
[08:59] <Psi-Jack> Seveas: A virus spreads. On it's own.
[08:59] <Zero_Day> fluxt it is a bad program, use it if u will, its up to you
[09:00] <fluxt> well i guess i'm just a tinny bastard then :)
[09:00] <Zero_Day> but as far as java goes i like to just point to the main executable and skip the plugin stuff, so i use opera and konqueror
[09:01] <Zero_Day> i have made that suggestion to the makers of flock but we shall see how that goes
[09:02] <fluxt> when is ubuntu ever going to upgrade firefox?
[09:02] <lck1> how do you start xirssi?
[09:02] <farous> in the new release and expect that for everypackage you use. upgrades are for new releases
[09:02] <fluxt> hmm
[09:02] <bobyfixer> i just made a ubuntu package but im not sure it works on expresso hdd installs could i get it to email me the install logs ?
[09:03] <farous> fluxt but there is a howto on the forums to upgraded it if you wana
[09:03] <fluxt> farous, i already hacked it in myself
[09:03] <Zero_Day> ubuntu = a free OS and free distrobution of CD's, what else do ya want em to do?
[09:03] <farous> fluxt: good so why you ask :)
[09:03] <fluxt> be like gentoo without compiling source code?
[09:04] <lck1> how do you start xirssi?
[09:04] <Seveas> fluxt, gentoo is horrible
[09:04] <fluxt> farous, because i like using the package system over hacked a hacked up system
[09:04] <thoreauputic> lck1: xirssi? you mean irssi ?
[09:04] <Seveas> gentoo without compiling: archlinux
[09:04] <fluxt> Seveas, thanks
[09:04] <FlannelKing> xirssi is a gtk frontend to irssi (had to google it)
[09:04] <lck1> irssi + gtk
[09:04] <lck1> = xirssi
[09:04] <thoreauputic> I see...
[09:04] <Seveas> FlannelKing, gnome-terminal or konsole are also GUI frontends to irssi ;)
[09:05] <farous> fluxt if you consider downloading and using a hack than good luck you will do lots of hacking :)
[09:05] <FlannelKing> Seveas: heh, I suppose. like I said, I had to google,
[09:05] <therp> seveas: sure, gentoo is horrible for novices
[09:05] <bobyfixer> ubuntu security is great as long has you dont use root and if you have any problems and you used shipit you can even get a security expert to visit you
[09:05] <mneptok> Gentoo is for ricers.
[09:05] <Seveas> Therion, gentoo is horrible for advanced users too
[09:06] <Seveas> therp*
[09:06] <thoreauputic> guys, distro wars  ------->>>  #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:06] <Seveas> 2 f*in hours downtime for an apache/mysql update? c'mon!
[09:06] <fluxt> farous, i think you misunderstood.. not h4x0ring just screwing around with the filesystem blah.. hacking at it
[09:06] <Zero_Day> Gentoo + The Dad Test = AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[09:06] <lck1> anyone knows how to use that xirssi thing?
[09:06] <therp> seveas: I totally disagree and I consider myself advanced. but ok, thoreuputic
[09:06] <Psi-Jack> therp: Heck, sometimes, it's not even good for geniuses. LOL
[09:07] <FlannelKing> lck1: go to terminal, type xirssi
[09:07] <bobyfixer> i friend of mine tells me that ubuntu is aimed at african users
[09:07] <farous> fluxt: ok :). Just look at ubuntu policy then. They take snapshots so frequent if i may say every 6 months then freeze. Officially only updates are security ones.
[09:07] <lck1> i did
[09:07] <mneptok> speaking of the Dad test ... anyone have experience using development releases and then using apt to upgrade to the final? Dad has a laptop on which i'll be installing Ubuntu, and would prefer Drake. can he upgrade to the final release himself?
[09:07] <lck1> bash: xirssi: command not found
[09:07] <mike0002> how do i chown 2 users to the same folder?
[09:08] <thoreauputic> bobslaede: not really - it's aimed at human beings ;-)
[09:08] <bobyfixer> i friend of mine tells me that ubuntu is aimed at african users is this true ?
[09:08] <mneptok> mike0002: make a custom group
[09:08] <thoreauputic> all human beings, not just african ones
[09:08] <fluxt> farous, i can understand why, really i can. i guess i'm just used to being able to install the latest stuff
[09:08] <mike0002> dont want the two users in teh same group though
[09:08] <mike0002> one is www-data and the other is my name
[09:09] <bobyfixer> i guess im not human
[09:09] <mneptok> mike0002: if only that directory references the group, what's the problem?
[09:09] <FlannelKing> lck1: xirssi isn't in ubuntu.  Did you compile it?
[09:09] <mike0002> dunno how to make custom groups
[09:10] <Zero_Day> fluxt if your going to plan to have a new release why would you continue to service the previous one other than security issues
[09:10] <lck1> i apt-get'ed it
[09:10] <mike0002> there isnt a way to chown 2 users to teh same group
[09:10] <mike0002> or rather folder
[09:10] <lck1> apt-get install irssi-snapshot-dev
[09:10] <fluxt> Zero_Day, because you can?
[09:10] <mneptok> mike0002: no, directories use owner/group/everyone
[09:10] <lck1> it was a package
[09:10] <mneptok> (files do, too)
[09:11] <mneptok> mike0002: your WM probably provides a GUI to manipulate users and groups
[09:11] <thomas`> is there a disk cleanup in ubuntu? to clean any unneccasary files? kindalike windows disk cleanup. to free up space
[09:12] <lck1> apt-get clean
[09:12] <mike0002> no wm is installed
[09:12] <mike0002> well fluxbox is
[09:12] <mike0002> but its not running right now
[09:12] <FlannelKing> lck1: that's just stuff for compiling xirssi, not xirssi itself.
[09:13] <lck1> oh foreal
[09:13] <lck1> what do i need then
[09:13] <FlannelKing> I dont know, Im just reading the package info ;)
[09:13] <lck1> to get this stuff working for ubuntu
[09:13] <mikere> mike0002: then you are in a perfect position to edit your /etc/group file
[09:13] <Spec> with vigr
[09:13] <FlannelKing> lck1: there's probably a readme installed with it.  check what files were installed.
[09:13] <mneptok> mike0002: man groupadd
[09:14] <thoreauputic> mike0002: man addgroup will tell you - you can specify a group ID number and name
[09:14] <thoreauputic> mneptok: addgroup is easier :)
[09:14] <thoreauputic> either is fine...
[09:15] <Spec> hehe
[09:15] <bradd_> Hey, is there a way I can fix my VGA card? I have the driver installed and running but it's still choppy
[09:16] <EBAR> How do I check to see if I'm affected by the recent security bug that was found?
[09:16] <pmv> EBAR, grep for your username/password?
[09:16] <mneptok> EBAR: see if GRUB offers to boot you into Windows?
[09:16] <thoreauputic> EBAR: an upgrade will fix it
[09:16] <pmv> Oh. Wrong bug. :)
[09:17] <Madpilot> EBAR: if your upgrades are up-to-date, you're fine, it's already been fixed
[09:17] <EBAR> Yeah I did an update/upgrade. Just wanted to take a look for myself.
[09:17] <EBAR> I'll try grep. Thanks.
[09:17] <csk89> hi all can someone please tell me how i can run a Prolink Pixelview PV-BT878P+9B using TVtime
[09:18] <bradd_> Does anyone know how I can fix my Nvidia VGA card to run right???
[09:18] <bradd_> Moving windows around gets choppy
[09:18] <thoreauputic> EBAR: grep user-password /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat   if I remember correctly
[09:18] <kenc> Hi, anyone here experienced long delays (1 min +) in 'Loading, please wait' during system load?
[09:18] <EBAR> thoreuputic: Thank you. I'll give it a shot.
[09:19] <thoreauputic> EBAR: if you've upgraded, there won't be anything there to worry about though
[09:19] <EBAR> Yeah, I figured as much. But since it's causing such a stir I wanted to try it out for myself. It already made it to slashdot and everything.
[09:20] <weedar> what bug are you talking about EBAR ?
[09:21] <EBAR> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143334
[09:21] <EBAR> That bug.
[09:21] <Morfosomo> !w32
[09:21] <ubotu> Morfosomo: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:21] <Morfosomo> !win32
[09:21] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Morfosomo
[09:21] <Morfosomo> darn it
[09:21] <Tomcat_> !w32codecs
[09:21] <ubotu> I guess w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[09:21] <Tomcat_> That one?
[09:21] <thoreauputic> EBAR: URL for the slashdot article?
[09:21] <Morfosomo> i here ya go
[09:21] <Morfosomo> cheers
[09:22] <weedar> thanks for the link EBAR =)
[09:22] <EBAR> thoreauputic: gimme a sec, gotta find it
[09:22] <EBAR> weedar: No problem
[09:23] <EBAR> thoreauputic: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/13/0525254&from=rss
[09:23] <thoreauputic> EBAR: it's OK - got it at the same momnet :)
[09:23] <thoreauputic> *moment
[09:23] <EBAR> Ah, good deal.
[09:23] <thoreauputic> thanks :)
[09:24] <EBAR> thoreauputic: When I grep, I get permission denied. That means I'm patched? Or did I do it wrong?
[09:25] <thoreauputic> EBAR: you're patched
[09:25] <EBAR> thoreauputic: Ah fantastic, thank you.
[09:25] <pmv> .. o_O Though I hope that's not all the patch does.
[09:25] <chuckyp> well its been fixed already
[09:25] <thoreauputic> EBAR: try sudo grep (the file has been made only readable by root
[09:25] <pmv> :)
[09:25] <Tomcat_> On my machine the /var/log/installer doesn't exist and debian-installer is a bad link... is that what the update does?
[09:25] <J_element> how do i unlock a folder
[09:26] <EBAR> thoreauputic: ok
[09:26] <J_element> if i have root access ?
[09:26] <thoreauputic> EBAR: and the clear text is removed
[09:26] <chuckyp> It was fixed the day before the bug was found.
[09:26] <pmv> J_element, unlock? You mean remove the sticky bit?
[09:27] <J_element> no
[09:27] <EBAR> Seems to be good to me.
[09:27] <J_element> to simply make my self the owner and make it writable
[09:27] <thoreauputic> EBAR: I actually deleted the file before the patch was uploaded
[09:27] <pmv> J_element, man chown, man chmod
[09:27] <J_element> full command :D
[09:27] <J_element> im not much into permissions & chmod :S
[09:28] <pmv> You'll be a lot better off reading those .. :/
[09:28] <EBAR> thoreauputic: Yeah I saw that a lot of people were doing that. I had just finished installing Ubuntu onto my laptop. I still have to get to my desktop, but I won't be able to for a couple days.
[09:28] <thoreauputic> J_element: worth learning
[09:28] <pmv> # chown user:group folder
[09:28] <J_element> just tell me how to make it writable bro
[09:28] <pmv> # chmod 755 folder
[09:28] <J_element> lol :D
[09:28] <J_element> i know its worth learning
[09:29] <J_element> but i need to do some thing in the next 20 mins or im pucked :D
[09:29] <pmv> Besides, the fact that you want to "unlock" something probably means you're doing something you shouldn't be.
[09:29] <thoreauputic> EBAR: can you ssh to your desktop ?
[09:30] <cowamongcows> hi
[09:30] <J_element> ubotu,  chmod
[09:30] <ubotu> well, chmod is a command used to change the permissions of a file or folder. see `man chmod` for a synopsis.
[09:30] <tarzeau> !folder
[09:30] <ubotu> folder is a directory damn it! near My Computer and Network Neighborhood... or the things you put in a filing cabinet. IMAP protocol's mailboxes.
[09:30] <cowamongcows> ubuntu rocks
[09:30] <J_element> !chmod
[09:30] <J_element> !chawn
[09:30] <ubotu> J_element: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:30] <tarzeau> is ubotu also a blootbot?
[09:30] <intelikey> df -h
[09:30] <intelikey> ooops
[09:30] <pmv> cowamongcows, dude. :p
[09:31] <J_element> lol
[09:31] <thoreauputic> tarzeau: yes
[09:31] <thoreauputic> !ubotu
[09:31] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[09:31] <tarzeau> thoreauputic: is its db somewhere online publicly available?
[09:31] <EBAR> thoreauputic: Well, I set it up with Apache just a couple days ago. But I haven't done anything with ssh, I'm still pretty new to linux. I don't have it running as a server quite yet though so it isn't on...thankfully.
[09:31] <thoreauputic> tarzeau: see above :)
[09:31] <thoreauputic> EBAR: ah, OK :)
[09:31] <intelikey> ok here is the final results.   my hdd is  593M  514M   50M  92% /
[09:31] <cowamongcows> today my firestarter caught a proccess called GateCrasher coming from port 6969, should i be worried about that?
[09:32] <thomas`> how do i install .deb on ubuntu i just dl'd cedega need to know command line to install
[09:32] <cowamongcows> its only there when im using bittorrent
[09:32] <pmv> thomas`, dpkg -i pkg.deb
[09:32] <thoreauputic> tarzeau: you can search http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/  for factoids
[09:32] <thomas`> thx
[09:32] <pmv> bbq
[09:33] <br33zy> haha, what a funny security bug
[09:33] <thoreauputic> yeah, hilarious :/
[09:33] <cowamongcows> I read on one website that gatecrasher was just a probe for vulnerabilities
[09:33] <thoreauputic> not
[09:34] <cowamongcows> not an actual breach
[09:34] <thoreauputic> cowamongcows: if firestarter caught it, what are youworied about?
[09:34] <thoreauputic> *you worried
[09:34] <thomas`> dkpg -i cedega_5.1_i386.deb
[09:34] <thomas`>  <--when i type this it says bash not found wt?
[09:35] <cowamongcows> well it showed up on the acitve connections section
[09:35] <cowamongcows> not the blocked connections
[09:35] <thoreauputic> thomas`: you need to be in the dir, and use sudo
[09:35] <thoreauputic> cowamongcows: ah I see
[09:35] <thomas`> now it says dpkg not found
[09:35] <thomas`> and i am in dir
[09:35] <thoreauputic> thomas`: not possible
[09:36] <thoreauputic> thomas`: this *is* ubuntu, right?
[09:36] <thomas`> oh im there..
[09:36] <thomas`> yea i am
[09:36] <thoreauputic> thomas`: ubuntu without dpkg = not possible
[09:36] <thomas`> weird dunno why its saying thatthen
[09:36] <thomas`> that is very odd
[09:37] <thoreauputic> thomas`: waht is the actual error?
[09:37] <cowamongcows> i love ubuntu though this is the first linux distro i've tried that i can actually get stuff to work
[09:37] <thoreauputic> thomas`: probably can't find the *.deb
[09:37] <thomas`> xxx@ubuntu:/home/xxx/Cedega5.1# sudo dkpg -i cedega_5.1_i386.deb
[09:37] <thomas`> sudo: dkpg: command not found
[09:37] <pmv> Eh...
[09:37] <thoreauputic> thomas`: *cough*
[09:38] <thoreauputic> thomas`: waht does " which dpkg" say ?
[09:38] <thoreauputic> (npo quotes)
[09:38] <thoreauputic> *no
[09:38] <dan> hello
[09:38] <thoreauputic> thomas`: ah - typo
[09:38] <thomas`> oh thats what i did wrong
[09:38] <thomas`> typo
[09:38] <pmv> ... -_-
[09:38] <thoreauputic> dpkg not pkpg
[09:38] <thoreauputic> or whatver
[09:38] <pmv> dkpg :)
[09:39] <dan> I have a question for some one patient, I am new to linux and am not sure how to install programs that I download
[09:39] <thomas`> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cedega:
[09:39] <thomas`>  cedega depends on xlibs (>> 4.1.0); however:
[09:39] <thomas`>   Package xlibs is not installed.
[09:39] <thomas`> dpkg: error processing cedega (--install):
[09:39] <thomas`>  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[09:39] <thomas`> Errors were encountered while processing:
[09:39] <thomas`>  cedega
[09:39] <thoreauputic>   /me si ageret tipyts
[09:39] <dan> so if you know could you pm me
[09:39] <thoreauputic> ;)
[09:39] <Madpilot> thomas`: pastebin next time, thanks
[09:39] <thomas`> i need xlibs 4.1.0? to install cedega. sure w/e
[09:39] <thoreauputic> thomas`: do NOT paste in the channel, please
[09:39] <cowamongcows> dan they are talking about that right now
[09:39] <bdash_> when I enter my root password to use say Update Manager, if I exit the manager and then start it again straight away I don't need to enter the password. Why does this happen?
[09:40] <dan> ok
[09:40] <thoreauputic> !cedega
[09:40] <cowamongcows> the dpkg stuff for .deb files
[09:40] <thoreauputic> !tell thomas` about cedega
[09:40] <Madpilot> bdash_: your sudo pw is remembered for a few minutes (five, I think?)
[09:41] <anakronisme> innit 15?
[09:41] <pmv> bdash_, it's like sudo. There's a 5-minute window.
[09:41] <thoreauputic> Madeye: 15 by default I think
[09:41] <pmv> whoops, there then
[09:41] <cowamongcows> sudo makes random passwords?
[09:41] <pmv> ...
[09:41] <pmv> why would you think that?
[09:41] <weedar> Is there a way to clear the sudo password from memory? (for example if you're helping a user on a computer and don't want him to have sudo when you leave)
[09:41] <thoreauputic> cowamongcows: erm, no
[09:41] <Spec> sudo -k
[09:41] <pmv> it really shouldn't cache passwords anyway
[09:41] <Spec> weedar: ^
[09:41] <thoreauputic> weedar: make a new user
[09:42] <cowamongcows> is "sudo password" also your root password?
[09:42] <Seveas> pmv, it doesn't
[09:42] <Madpilot> weedar: sudo -k in a term, no idea about in GUI
[09:42] <thomas`> ummthat site was just showing me a games database i need help actually installing cedega it did say something about xlibs anyone got any time to helpme out
[09:42] <Madpilot> !tell cowamongcows about sudo
[09:42] <Seveas> pmv, it just remembers you authenticated
[09:42] <weedar> Thanks Spec & Madpilot =)
[09:42] <pmv> Seveas, yeah, just the way he said it.
[09:42] <thomas`> i dont need to know what games cedega supports i need to know howto install it first..
[09:42] <bdash_> Thanks for the replies. Anyway to alter this window?
[09:42] <cowamongcows> yeah i know root pw is locked... not trying to access it just curious how sudo works
[09:43] <pmv> Mm. I learn something new every day.
[09:43] <pmv> sudo -k
[09:43] <Madpilot> bdash_: the time your pw is remembered? I think so - try 'man sudo' in a term
[09:43] <pmv> cowamongcows, it keeps a timestamp of your last access
[09:43] <jblack> Hi. I seem to be having a problem with spammers using mail bounces as a relay of sorts.
[09:43] <jblack> I've got a standard distro install. Is there something I can do?
[09:43] <bdash_> Thanks Madpilot & pmv. Will have a look around. :)
[09:44] <jblack> (which means I'm using postfix)
[09:44] <Spec> jblack: yeah
[09:44] <cowamongcows> love how active the community is too
[09:44] <Spec> jblack: you should secure your mail server
[09:45] <Spec> I'm sure there's documentation on that...
[09:45] <nIRV-> greetings
[09:45] <lontong> greetings
[09:45] <jblack> Spec: I take it that you're not aware of how to fix it either.
[09:46] <lontong> hi guys, anyone want to help me about wine?
[09:46] <intelikey> well that wasn't much fun....  full sized crash.
[09:46] <Spec> jblack: I've fixed it before, I don't recall what I did though
[09:47] <lontong> ummm...no one ?
[09:47] <intelikey> i have sound error "amixer: Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory"  repeted about 20 times on boot.    is it a device node missing ?
[09:47] <nIRV-> I'm trying to switch the computers in my organization (60) to ubuntu/linux ... I'm only facing one problem: they use Microsoft Mail Workgroup as their internal email system and it is only outlook-compatible
[09:49] <nIRV-> anyone knows of a good setup for an internal email setup ? (using both internal and external emails
[09:49] <nIRV-> )
[09:50] <intelikey> also alsamixer returns    alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory      it must be the device node ?
[09:50] <bdash_> Is there anyway to make windows remember their last location in Gnome? Or is it programme specific?
[09:50] <intelikey> nIRV- fetchmail mailx ?
[09:50] <lontong> anyone knows how to fix my prob? i install software with wine...then missing msdxm.ocx?so i cant run the prog.
[09:51] <intelikey> find the missing ocx and install it ?
[09:52] <lontong> intelikey, how ifind and install it?
[09:52] <intelikey> looks like  everybody went to bed....  dead channel.
[09:52] <intelikey> lontong google ?
[09:52] <lontong> its 6 am man!
[09:52] <nIRV-> intelikey, hrm, any link to a tutorial on fetchmail-mailx?
[09:52] <intelikey> some plave i guess.
[09:53] <intelikey> place.
[09:53] <lontong> ok got it
[09:53] <lontong> ok bye
[09:54] <intelikey> nIRV- not really, no.  i've only set up fetchmail twice.  it's pretty stright forword.   not sure it will do all you want tho.
[09:55] <nIRV-> intelikey, MS Mail is old, out-dated (even have to use a hack to get outlook2003 to support it), but it does the job so well...
[09:56] <intelikey> k
[09:56] <intelikey> looks like another storm comming.
[09:57] <AppleSpray> Heeello!?
[09:57] <farous> is there an equivalent to itunes on linux. I just want to access Stanford lectures and seems they are only offered on itunes?
[09:58] <AppleSpray> Audlicios.
[09:58] <AppleSpray> *audalicious
[09:58] <farous> AppleSpray: are you asking for something
[09:59] <AppleSpray> Yes soory
[09:59] <farous> shoot
[09:59] <AppleSpray> I cant remember what to change in xorg.conf to get the resolution higher. Its currently huge
[09:59] <mike0002> how do i enable modules in apache2?
[10:00] <farous> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:00] <AppleSpray> What about my question?
[10:00] <ProfessorChaos_> hello all, is there a packages for helix-dbus-server?
[10:00] <farous> AppleSpray: that is the way to reconfigure xorg.conf
[10:01] <farous> or you can just edit it manually if you know how
[10:01] <AppleSpray> Yes I do
[10:01] <AppleSpray> Its missing something but I cant remeber what
[10:01] <AppleSpray> another person told me but he's idle now
[10:01] <farous> the first resolution is the one normally used
[10:02] <cowamongcows> is there a way to filter join and quit messages in irc?
[10:02] <fatehaze> Can anyone help me with my Broadcom wireless card?  I'm using ndiswrapper but it isn't detected
[10:02] <linuxboyfriend> hi all
[10:02] <mike0002> how do i enable modules in apache2?
[10:02] <Madpilot> cowamongcows: XChat has an option to not display them, I think
[10:02] <linuxboyfriend> can anyone tell me that how can i convert a .wma file to .mp3 file?
[10:02] <Madpilot> XChat has an option for everything :P
[10:02] <albern_einschwei> hello any body...
[10:03] <farous> linuxboyfriend: check sox package
[10:04] <linuxboyfriend> farous: can you give my any exmaple?
[10:04] <farous> linuxboyfriend: i have not used it for a while just google it
[10:04] <farous> was straight forward to use
[10:04] <AppleSpray> xorg.conf is missing something in the resolution. I did it manually last time
[10:05] <cowamongcows> madpilot do you know where that option is?
[10:05] <Madpilot> cowamongcows: not sure - I'm not running XChat right now, so I can't look for it, either
[10:06] <cowamongcows> dont see it in any of the settings
[10:06] <fatehaze> Can anyone help me with my Broadcom wireless card?  I'm using ndiswrapper but it isn't detected
[10:07] <farous> fatehaze: i used to run it with ndisgtk and network-manager package
[10:07] <farous> and runs just fine on breezy
[10:08] <gargas> hi i have a tv card but no linux drivers
[10:08] <gargas> what do i have to do
[10:08] <gargas> i know th tv cards chipset though
[10:09] <linuxboyfriend> how can i convert a bootable ubuntu CD to an ISO image?
[10:09] <farous> anyone tried the sharpmusique package that ubotu recommended for itunes
[10:10] <Seveas> linuxboyfriend, dd if=/dev/hdc of=/path/to/iso bs=4096
[10:10] <AppleSpray> where is the pastebin?
[10:10] <Madpilot> !pastebin
[10:10] <ubotu> [pastebin]  a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[10:10] <thoreauputic> linuxboy: it already *is* an ISO image - can you clarify what you mean?
[10:11] <elkbuntu> thoreauputic, pressed cd -> iso file, i would assume
[10:11] <hyphenated> I thought the block size for CD format was 2048
[10:12] <AppleSpray> Fuck noone knows this question ever!
[10:13] <linuxboyfriend> Seveas: dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/my_user/ is enough or dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/my_user/my_iso.iso
[10:13] <Seveas> linuxboy, the latter
[10:13] <farous> AppleSpray: somepeople have their own probs to worry about perhaps if you try later
[10:13] <cowamongcows> have you tried the forums applespray?
[10:13] <AppleSpray> I cant
[10:14] <Seveas> !tell AppleSpray about attitude
[10:14] <AppleSpray> Windows has blue screen of death and I need to use linux. Having a huge screen dosent help
[10:14] <cowamongcows> ubuntuforums.org, try search for pastebin
[10:14] <Seveas> !pastebin
[10:14] <ubotu> I guess pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[10:14] <Seveas> (as said before)
[10:15] <skt> Hello all! Can someone tell me how to enable NFS share using the "Shared Folder" tool? Now there is just SMB available..
[10:15] <AppleSpray> I know what pastebin is I use it
[10:15] <thoreauputic> skt: you need to configure NFS first I'd say
[10:16] <thoreauputic> !nfs
[10:16] <ubotu> methinks nfs is see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[10:16] <MetaMorfoziS> !firefox1.5
[10:16] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[10:17] <skt> ok.. thanks.. because I think it did ask SMB/NFS at the first time I launched the tool
[10:17] <AppleSpray> forums arnt helping...
[10:17] <skt> (did ask to select)
[10:18] <thoreauputic> skt: when NFS is configured, it appears as an option in the dialogue
[10:18] <DJ_Tobias> when i try and use glxgears and get a seg fault, how do i go about fixing the problem?
[10:19] <skt> okay, thanks alot - I'll give a try =)
[10:19] <thoreauputic> skt: just tried it here :) (I configure nfs the CLI and edit way, so I've never needed to use it)
[10:19] <AppleSpray> I'll just try windows again
[10:19] <thoreauputic> but I assume it "works"
[10:19] <AppleSpray> I even go safe mode and it comes up with blue screen
[10:20] <smellican> does anyone have opera installed?
[10:20] <thoreauputic> !anyone
[10:20] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? <hint>
[10:20] <Madpilot> smellican: I do
[10:20] <smellican> did you just use the tarball?
[10:20] <smellican> or what...
[10:20] <smellican> I get no love from apt get lol
[10:21] <thoreauputic> !opera
[10:21] <ubotu> hmm... opera is not in the Ubuntu repositories, but you can always download the latest Opera .deb package from http://www.opera.com/download/ and then see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser
[10:21] <Madpilot> smellican: it's not in Ubuntu's repos - just get the Ubuntu deb from Opera
[10:21] <smellican> I did that...and tried doing dpkg -i
[10:21] <smellican> lemme czech that link tho
[10:21] <thoreauputic> smellican: read the wiki page - it has your answers
[10:21] <smellican> kk thx thx you are the masters
[10:22] <Seveas> Madpilot, unless they fixed it you need the debian etch deb
[10:22] <linuxboyfriend> can i upgrade my distro to drapper by simply replacing breezy to drapper in /etc/apt/sources.lst?
[10:23] <thoreauputic> linuxboy: sort of
[10:23] <Seveas> linuxboyfriend, no - there is no drapper

(control+c will exit the program as long as your terminal is focused)

[04:17] (flogiston/#ubuntu) Chockyp: Thanks.
[04:18] (Moebioux/#ubuntu) why didnt the doc help me with the floppy disk mounting - i follow the steps and save the modified fstab
[04:18] (gnomefreak/#ubuntu) i get rid of the tar after im done with it
[04:18] (CaptainMorgan/#ubuntu) what cursive fonts show up in linux?
[04:18] (Mwafrica/#ubuntu) gnomefreak: How do i enable universe using terminal?

[04:18] (chuckyp/#ubuntu) gnomefreak, well then how do you unistall it?  without make uninstall?
[04:18] (gnomefreak/#ubuntu) dpkg -r
[04:18] (chuckyp/#ubuntu) conn, also try the forums
[04:18] (Mwafrica/#ubuntu) chuckyp: How do i enable universe using terminal?
[04:18] (alapzaj/#ubuntu) anybody can give me a breezy sources.list
[04:18] (conn/#ubuntu) oops I meant to ask in #Kubuntu, sorry for posting twice
[04:18] (Moebioux/#ubuntu) but ubuntu didnt allow me to mount the FD: send me this Unable to mount the selected volume.:
[04:18] (Moebioux/#ubuntu) Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[04:19] (gnomefreak/#ubuntu) chuckyp: use checkinstall ;
[04:19] (chuckyp/#ubuntu) Mwafrica, well sudo nano /etc/sources.list
[04:19] (conn/#ubuntu) thanks seraphim and chucky, I got your input
[04:19] (quad_/#ubuntu) Where do I find the kernel headers for my ubuntu dist??
[04:19] (gnomefreak/#ubuntu) quad_: synaptic
[04:19] (chuckyp/#ubuntu) Mwafrica, and remove the comment in front of the universe or multiverse where ever it is.
[04:19] (CaptainMorgan/#ubuntu) thanks gnomefreak, actually, Im not looking to install them.. but I presume if one wants to see a page that a font, say my website, the user would have to have the font installed then?
[04:19] (Fawzib/#ubuntu) anyone knows how do I start the server-expert install in dapper? before I could type 'boot: server-expert' how can I do it with the new menu?
[04:19] <gnomefreak> quad_: search linux-restricted i think it is
[04:19] <chuckyp> Mwafrica, universe it is.
[04:19] <CaptainMorgan> there no standard fonts ?
[04:20] <CaptainMorgan> say like cursive..
[04:20] <Moebioux> anybody can swallow that pride and help me ...
[04:20] <chuckyp> !fonts
[04:20] <ubotu> rumour has it, fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto
[04:20] <quad_> gnomefreak, I am installing a program that asks for the path for the linux kernel headers
[04:20] <seraphim> conn: but on dapper it was strange. i had an output (info) with breezy. not with dapper.
[04:20] <alapzaj> where can i found a breezy sources.list??
[04:20] <gnomefreak> CaptainMorgan: im not real sure
[04:20] <Moebioux> i need to mount this floopy (with urgency)
[04:20] <CaptainMorgan> ok, thanks ;)
[04:20] <quad_> gnomefreak, is it not installed by default?
[04:20] <gnomefreak> quad_: locate?
[04:20] <chuckyp> alapzaj, /etc/sources.list
[04:20] <quad_> what to look for?
[04:20] <quad_> gnomefreak, what to look for?
[04:21] <CarinArr> moebioux, does it allow you to mount other floppies?
[04:21] <conn> seraphim, that may just be due to a newer version of stress on dapper, it's np.. as long as the functionality is the same
[04:21] <chuckyp> Moebioux, what type of filesysstem is on the floppie
[04:21] <seraphim> conn: and i couldn't log into a new session (tried tty1 and 2)
[04:21] <conn> I'm asking people to try it on breezy in case the newer dapper kernels have multitasking/scheduling problems
[04:21] <seraphim> well...the functionality was that nothing was working anymore:D
[04:21] <Moebioux> is adapted to XP - BUT doesnt allow me to mount any floppy
[04:21] <chuckyp> Moebioux, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/fd0 /my/butt    try that maybe
[04:22] <Baldrick2_Brb> ntfs floppy ?
[04:22] <chuckyp> Moebioux, or sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /my/butt
[04:22] <conn> I get terrible jerkiness like that when, eg. streaming & transcoding movies via vlc or checking torrents with azureus.. yes, the CPU should max out, but multitasking should remain fairly smooth
[04:22] <Moebioux> and i already change the fstab with Unable to mount the selected volume.:
[04:22] <Moebioux> Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[04:22] <CarinArr> ntfs on a floppy?
[04:22] <Baldrick2_Brb> not possible
[04:22] <gnomefreak> quad_: iirc its locate linux-restricted-modules
[04:22] <chuckyp> I know I'm on drugs
[04:22] <seraphim> perhaps it was because of xgl here
[04:22] <MaXuS> is it just imaginairy - or does watching dvd really somehower looks more faster ?
[04:22] <Wharf> Frogzoo_away: do i actualy need to delete any of the other settings in the text file
[04:22] <Wharf> Or just add thoes lines as well?
[04:22] <seraphim> it's also known to make problems when the cpu is working a lot
[04:23] <chuckyp> Moebioux, first try to mount it from console then worry about the fstab entry
[04:23] <Frogzoo_away> Moebioux: it's a known problem apparently - here's the fix: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85777
[04:23] <chuckyp> Moebioux, mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /path/to/folder
[04:23] <Moebioux> but i dont know why didnt work -
[04:23] <Frogzoo_away> Wharf: obviously you don't want/need any other eth0 configuration
[04:24] <gnomefreak> Moebioux: if you read the link Frogzoo_away gave you should see why
[04:24] <chuckyp> Moebioux, don't know why what didn't work?
[04:24] <Moebioux> any devices can be mounted (excetpt the HD )
[04:24] <Wharf> theres no other eth0 configs there
[04:24] <Wharf> ohh

[04:28] <viller> every day I start Ubuntu I hear my processor go wild for awhile. I always start with browsing the web. What can cause it? Somekind of updating?
[04:28] <Wharf> How do i open an editor as root in a console?
[04:28] <chuckyp> Moebioux, after you have pmount rcomment out that repo since it will bork your system installing other stuff.
[04:28] <gnomefreak> quad_: im not sure what that error is it maybe you dont have all the depends installed
[04:28] <chuckyp> Wharf, you mean recovery mode?
[04:28] <Wharf> sudo appname filename?
[04:28] <chuckyp> Wharf, or single user
[04:29] <chuckyp> Wharf, you can use nano vi vim emacs whatever is installed.
[04:29] <Wharf> Single user i think
[04:29] <Wharf> I'm a newbie to linux
[04:29] <Wharf> so
[04:29] <chuckyp> Wharf, try nano filename
[04:29] <Wharf> How do i do that as root though
[04:29] <gnomefreak> quad_: the path to them is /lib/linuxrestricted......
[04:29] <Wharf> Using ubuntu
[04:29] <gnomefreak> sudo ;)
[04:29] <Wharf> so
[04:29] <Wharf> sudo nano filename?
[04:30] <javiolo> Wharf use nano its easy to use
[04:30] <chuckyp> Wharf, ctrl+o to save ctrl+x to exit commands are at the bottom
[04:30] <chuckyp> Wharf, if the file can only be written to by root yes than you would need sudo
[04:30] <chuckyp> Wharf, if its a file in your home directory just nano would work.
[04:30] <gnomefreak> if you dont know the key bindings for vi,vim,emacs your in deep :(
[04:30] <snikker> hi, i'm unable to keep the network config after reboot... i must use ifconfig by console evry time (but the file /etc/networks/interfaces is ok)

[04:31] <Wharf> I got in to the editor

[04:33] <quad_> gnomefreak, nope... still fails...
[04:33] <Wharf> I did sudo nano interfaces

[04:33] <Wharf> It opened it,
[04:33] <Wharf> I tryed to delete text
[04:34] <Wharf> Nothoing happened

[04:39] <snikker> samuel: yes
[04:39] <chuckyp> snikker, did you paste it?
[04:40] <snikker> chuckyp: yes, i've past it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10124
[04:40] <Fawzib> CarlFK: I was asking  how to do a server-expert install in dapper? Only option in the menu is 'Install a server' wich does the 'server' install
[04:40] <chuckyp> snikker, got it looks like only eth1 is using dhcp
[04:40] <Teratogen> under ubuntu/pool I see main, multiverse, restricted, and universe
[04:40] <CarlFK> Fawzib: I think it is server-expert
[04:40] <Teratogen> what's the difference between those
[04:41] <Teratogen> this is on archive.ubuntu.com
[04:41] <chuckyp> snikker, is that the problem maybe?  You wanted to config eth1 instead of eth0?
[04:41] <CarlFK> Teratogen: licencing and who tests
[04:42] <snikker> chuckyp: no i use statitic ip on eth0, (no dhcp)
[04:42] <chuckyp> Teratogen, universe is open source packages not supported.  multiverse is open source and some non open source not supported.
[04:42] <chuckyp> Teratogen, main and restricted are repos that are supported
[04:42] <Fawzib> the 'Install a server' is not server-expert, it doesn't ask for root password
[04:42] <Teratogen> repos?
[04:42] <chuckyp> snikker, so when you rebooted it still dhcp'd?  that doesn't make sense it should'nt
[04:42] <balu1> what does that "install a server" option mean?
[04:42] <Teratogen> what do you mean by "repos" ?
[04:43] <Nermal> repositories
[04:43] <Teratogen> ah, thanks
[04:43] <Fawzib> is there a way to use the old 'boot: server-expert" method?
[04:43] <chuckyp> snikker, ahh maybe try to put the auto eth0 above the iface
[04:43] <chuckyp> snikker, let me fix your post
[04:44] <snikker> chuckyp: when i reboot eth0 don' work... it work when i run: "sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up"
[04:44] <Ohm> Hi, I have a problem I don't know where is my trashbotle. How can I find it?
[04:44] <CarlFK> balu1: "server" is a 300 mb install that leaves you with nothing but a shell, networking and apt
[04:44] <P-Vich_> wow, this DL is taking MUCH longer than originally expected...
[04:44] <P-Vich_> it's taken about an hour so far and still has around 15 minutes left...
[04:44] <balu1> carlFK: well i guess its defnitly not for n00bs then?
[04:44] <CarlFK> balu1: (and various utilities) then you can apt-get only the things you need

[04:45] <rossknox> what laptops does ubuntu run well on?
[04:45] <mordof> balu1, server install isn't the one to do that
[04:45] <chuckyp> snikker, if not I would just specify in the interfaces file what you are specifying with ifconfig to get it to work and remove the extra stuff like network etc...
[04:45] <balu1> rossknox, any of hte more recent ones run well
[04:45] <CarlFK> mordof: look at /etc/network/interfaces (config file)  man interfaces
[04:45] <P-Vich_> well, I'll let you know in about 40 minutes how well it runs on a very old Compaq Laptop
[04:45] <P-Vich_> :)
[04:46] <mordof> CarlFK, ty
[04:46] <balu1> rossknox: if u want to avoid headaches, try to get ones with an nvidia gfx card.

[04:46] <gnomefreak> rossknox: i think so
[04:47] <balu1> rossknox: right. its with older ati cards.. the newer ones shouldnt be an issue, its with
[04:47] <mordof> balu1, ohh, if you are looking to replace a server.. server install is for that, i thought you ment to give to all the employees to use :P
[04:47] <CarlFK> balu1: depends on what the boxes being replaced do - are they desktop/work stations that users use, or servers that sit in a back room?
[04:47] <rossknox> great thnx
[04:47] <gnomefreak> ati is a pita to get 3d to work (alot of poeple)
[04:47] <balu1> carlfk: deskto pworkstations
[04:47] <balu1> rossknox: do not get any mobility radeons igp 9300 or lower. but i REALLY advice getting an nvidia, its less of a pain.
[04:47] <mordof> balu1, if anyone is gonna be trying to use the computer, do not put server install on it
[04:47] <s_spiff> dude's...what do i use to burn cd's and dvds?

[04:47] <balu1> rossknox: also, what ever u do, dont get shared ram.
[04:47] <CarlFK> balu1: then you probably want the normal desktop install.  unless they are low end boxes (P2, 64mb ram) - then you want xubuntu ;)
