[06:56] <oskude> roadster3043: you could try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but i wouldt do that, with those repos...
[06:56] <deFrysk> Zibby,  the package is not supported by ubuntu and I am just trying to get you thru the basics
[06:56] <deFrysk> zim_, I mean
[06:56] <ladydoor> ok, so when applying a patch to some sourcecode, a) do i need to bunzip2 the patch first, and b) do i apply it within the gunzipped dir, or to the gzipped source?
[06:57] <zim_> kewl
[06:57] <roadster3043> oskude: I see.  and could that be the cause of this error too http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25737/
[06:57] <dabugas> hi
[06:57] <deFrysk> zim_, just try it and suggest the package to the developers of ubuntu
[06:57] <dabugas> is there a way to convert avis to mpegs?
[06:57] <deFrysk> zim maybe it wil be featured soon
[06:57] <deFrysk> dabugas, yes
[06:57] <zim_> have done about 4 months ago
[06:58] <deFrysk> dabugas, dvd_mpegs ?
[06:58] <diminthedam> Seveas: u see. no one wants to deal with it! strange one though
[06:58] <andreo> anybody expert of alsa drivers?
[06:58] <dabugas> deFrysk, this doesn't seem to be a package...
[06:59] <oskude> roadster3043: yup, could be that packages is tried to install from non ubuntu.com source... do "sudo apt-get clean" and then the last command again, then you should see from where it gets downloaded, if its not for ...ubuntu.com, its not supported here...
[06:59] <deFrysk> dabugas, the best way to do it is this way : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709
[06:59] <zim_> i am very supprised that i am the only one who is so exited by the idea of them
[06:59] <andreo> or anybody knows of a channel somewhere about alsa?
[06:59] <dabugas> deFrysk, thanks i'll look it up :)
[06:59] <deFrysk> dabugas,  its a gentoo doc but it works flawlessly
[07:00] <deFrysk> dabugas, also : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_a_DVD:Filesystem
[07:00] <deFrysk> dabugas, just apt-get the suggested packages
[07:00] <deFrysk> they are all in the repos
[07:00] <andreo> I need to speak with some alsa developer...
[07:01] <deFrysk> alsa developer ?
[07:01] <andreo> someone who knows alsa driver very well
[07:01] <savvas> this is a bit of a weird question, but can someone tell me if "~/o" used for anything in linux? I saw it somewhere but can't remember where :\
[07:01] <n3storm> is there a way to have gnome-splash fullscreen?
[07:01] <richardr> does anyone have problems with quanta using about 100% of the CPU while running?
[07:01] <oskude> andreo: you could try #alsa
[07:01] <kitche> savaas: it's for formating think it's for LaTex
[07:01] <deFrysk> andreo, http://www.alsa-project.org/ vheck here
[07:02] <Seveas> n3storm, sure -- create a fullscreen version of it
[07:02] <dabugas> deFrysk, thanks
[07:02] <n3storm> Seveas, but it has to have some parameter somewhere to resize
[07:02] <n3storm> cause it appears from coordinate 0,0 but not resized
[07:03] <n3storm> maybe gconf?
[07:03] <roberts> Is there an effort to try and support more hardware components on MacBook (Pros) on Edgy Eft out of the box, such as speakers, iSight camera, keyboard backlight, and certain models of the Atheros Wifi cards?
[07:03] <savvas> ok kitche, but i think it was somewhere in perl, there's a big chance i'm wrong though
[07:03] <boink> !upstart
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upstart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:04] <boink> isn't upstart the new way that ubuntu will boot up?
[07:04] <boink> from edgy on?
[07:05] <n3storm> gconf has nothing
[07:05] <roadster3043> oskude: I commented out the lines that where causing the gpg error and so far so good.  thanks for your help
[07:05] <ijii> anybody know why i'm having problems installing ubuntu? i get errors such as ---> hdc: timeout waiting for DMA and hdc: drive not ready for command
[07:05] <ijii> am I having hardware issues with the motherboard? maybe the hard drive?
[07:05] <likewhoa54> ijii: might be the hd
[07:06] <AstralJava> deFrysk: Apparently you can drag 'n' drop tabs between windows, but I found it impossible to re-attach that last tab from a window so that the base window would be destroyed (in lack of better terms). Not sure if it's possible, not sure if this is intended behaviour at all but somehow two tabs got detached without me knowingly doing it.
[07:06] <AstralJava> deFrysk: Think I should file a bug?
[07:06] <oskude> ijii: cdrom/hd maybe not supporting dma (had that on an old pc too) theres a way around that, i just forgot atm...
[07:07] <oskude> ijii: does that come when you boot the dapper desktop cd ?
[07:07] <ijii> yes
[07:07] <zv_odd_> how do i go about editing my config files in buntu?
[07:07] <oskude> ijii: sec, ill google the boot flag to (hopefully) solve that
[07:08] <ijii> i also get buffer I/O error on device hdc as well
[07:08] <zv_odd_> or do i not know how to use chown?
[07:08] <z3r0x> checking for GNOME... configure: error: unable to find the GNOME libraries <-- which package has those libraries?
[07:08] <AstralJava> zv_odd_: You need to sudo them. Like, 'sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
[07:08] <AstralJava> zv_odd_: Of course replace vim with the editor-of-choice.
[07:08] <oskude> ijii: try with boot option "ide=nodma" (without the "")
[07:09] <AstralJava> zv_odd_: Thus no need for chowning anything.
[07:09] <ijii> boot option? where
[07:09] <zv_odd_> but i cant use vim!
[07:09] <zv_odd_> i stop using linux for 3 months and i cant rember how to do nething!
[07:09] <CromagDK> then nano
[07:09] <kitche> zv_odd_: you can use nano pico any of those other ones
[07:09] <AstralJava> zv_odd_: I thought of that, and said you can replace it with any editor you like to use, like 'gedit' or 'nano'.
[07:09] <ijii> is that an option to be set in the BIOS?
[07:09] <MikeyMike> are there any cli torrent clients?
[07:09] <ijii> i mean CMOS
[07:10] <oskude> ijii: you should have a option "boot options" (or something like that) on the bottom of the screen (some F-key) and add that "ide=nodma" to the end of that line what see then
[07:10] <zv_odd_> why cant i edit thing with the nice gui :/
[07:10] <oskude> ijii: no, on the install cd boot menu
[07:10] <CromagDK> gedit
[07:10] <CromagDK> has gui
[07:10] <AstralJava> zv_odd_: gedit is a GUI editor.
[07:10] <Luke> MikeyMike: i think there is btorrent or something like that already installed
[07:10] <ijii> ok thanks, i forgot about that, i'll check it out
[07:10] <kitche> zv_odd_: you can you just have to gksudo
[07:10] <EddyDean> Hello everyone, I have installed the NVIDIA drivers for my graphic card today, and everything seemed to work well, but now I rebooted and it says I'm unable to load the graphic environment (X server). I am only able to use the CLI now. Trying to run GDM (GNOME) fails. Is there anything I can do except for reinstalling Ubuntu (Again...)
[07:10] <AstralJava> CromagDK: Are we accidentally syncronized? ;9
[07:10] <zv_odd_> i want to do this form my Desktop not through the console
[07:10] <AstralJava> ;)
[07:10] <MikeyMike> Luke,  that works from the command line? could i effectively start a torrent from ssh using that?
[07:10] <CromagDK> AstralJava: sorry :(
[07:10] <CromagDK> my bad ;)
[07:11] <AstralJava> CromagDK: Not a problem, just thought it was too funny. :)
[07:11] <CromagDK> hehe
[07:11] <CromagDK> ye
[07:11] <EddyDean> Anyone?
[07:11] <CromagDK> zv_odd_: try write gksudo gedit file
[07:11] <CromagDK> it will open a gedit window for you
[07:11] <kitche> EddyDean: it's probably not loading the nvidia module try modprobe nvidia then startx
[07:11] <EddyDean> Meh... I'll just reinstall... Not much data on there anyway...
[07:11] <zv_odd_> wat i dont understande is that when i got 'sudo chown o+rw sources.list' it says o is an inviliad user
[07:11] <MikeyMike> can anyone tell me about torenting
[07:12] <oskude> MikeyMike: yes, google ;)
[07:12] <kitche> zv_odd_: chown changes user chmod is probably what you wanted
[07:12] <MikeyMike> ahaha
[07:12] <MikeyMike> rtorrent
[07:12] <lamego> because you are trying to set the owner to "o+rw"
[07:12] <Luke> MikeyMike: yea its origionally a command line ap
[07:12] <Dr_willis> zv_odd_,  ya sure you dont want chmod. :P
[07:12] <kitche> zv_odd_: chown means change owner
[07:12] <MikeyMike> Luke,  awesome.
[07:12] <zv_odd_> SHHH i am NOT STONED!
[07:12] <Luke> MikeyMike: a lot of bit torrent clients have non-x backends
[07:12] <AstralJava> EddyDean: In console, you can go thru X configuration by issuing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', then look for incorrect setups, fix them and after you're finished try again.
[07:12] <MikeyMike> Luke,  i want to install one on a remote box via ssh
[07:12] <MikeyMike> and start a download for my friend
[07:14] <Luke> MikeyMike: ok
[07:14] <ToHellWithGA> could somebody please help me setup a terminal-based solution that will allow me to stream music files on my computer to a client on another computer after converting to a low bitrate mp3 or ogg?
[07:14] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: i think there are plenty howtos for that on the net...
[07:15] <ToHellWithGA> oskude: i've not yet found an easy one
[07:16] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: define easy ?
[07:16] <deFrysk> not hard
[07:16] <ToHellWithGA> easy as in an example configuration file and an example terminal command to get it going
[07:17] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: and that has nothing to do with ubuntu support... why not ask in shoutcast chat or such ?
[07:17] <ToHellWithGA> starting from man pages is way too tricky.  i'd rather edit something that's already written than write my own configuration file
[07:17] <ToHellWithGA> oskude: because i'm doing it on ubuntu.  if i were running windows i'd know how to use shoutcast for that
[07:17] <Gasten> Hello. When using one of the update-mangers (apt-get update/upgrade, aptutude update/upgrade, update-notifier, etc), does it save both the old package--and the new version? or can I sleep calm, knowing that my PC isn't drowning in unused packages?
[07:17] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: ok, so everyone who does whatever under ubuntu, should be supported here ? :/
[07:18] <kitche> Gasten: it uninstalls the old package if you install a newer version
[07:18] <Gasten> kitche: Thanks.
[07:18] <roberts> Is there an effort to try and support more hardware components on MacBook (Pros) on Edgy Eft out of the box, such as speakers, iSight camera, keyboard backlight, and certain models of the Atheros Wifi cards?
[07:19] <kishore> help neede
[07:19] <kitche> !ask
[07:19] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:19] <ToHellWithGA> oskude: i think that's the idea.
[07:19] <kishore> i had recently formatted my windows drives and again installed.now i am unable to mount the drives back in linux
[07:20] <cherubiel> kishore: errors?
[07:20] <kitche> kishore: did you format the partitions?
[07:20] <ToHellWithGA> this is a general assistance channel last time i checked.  if you, oskude, don't want to assist me you don't have to assist me.  if anybody would help me setup icecast and mplayer properly i'd appreciate it.
[07:20] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: yeah, right...
[07:20] <kishore> error : the folder contents could not be displayed
[07:20] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: good luck!
[07:20] <kishore> when treid to open
[07:21] <kishore> i had formatted windows partitions
[07:21] <kishore> tat too only.. windows drive
[07:21] <DarkWizzard> guys
[07:21] <DarkWizzard> hello all
[07:21] <DarkWizzard> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25742/
[07:21] <kishore> cherubiel, You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "hda6".
[07:21] <rodneyk> When I load Ubuntu Dapper its telling me my copy isnt genuine then displays a picture of a fat black man eating fried chicken.
[07:22] <kishore> tat was the error when tried to open
[07:22] <oskude> DarkWizzard: whats that ?
[07:22] <DarkWizzard> my problem
[07:22] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: have you read these ? http://icecast.org/docs.php
[07:22] <ToHellWithGA> yes, oskude.  i have no idea what most parameters mean
[07:23] <kishore> did any one get my problem.. :((
[07:23] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: thats why there are manuals...
[07:23] <ToHellWithGA> because i don't know what to do with the parameters to be set in the configuration file and i don't see an example configuration file, i'm stuck
[07:23] <ToHellWithGA> the man page for icecast says "check out the docs"
[07:24] <kishore> ubotu, mount
[07:24] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: is that not a config file here ? http://www.6809.org.uk/media/ices2-howto.shtml
[07:24] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[07:24] <sheepy1988> i need help with hardware, anyone ok to help me?
[07:24] <oskude> DarkWizzard: you star apache2 with "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[07:24] <ardchoille> sheepy1988: What kind of hardware? HD's? Video?
[07:24] <kaur> using dapper and my laptops fan keeps running all the time. Proccessor(s) are not loaded. What could be the problem?
[07:24] <sheepy1988> HDDs
[07:24] <ardchoille> sheepy1988: Aks your question
[07:24] <DarkWizzard> its the same with all daemons
[07:25] <DarkWizzard> tor doesn't work eighter
[07:25] <sheepy1988> i bought a new hard drive for my computer today, installed it as a slave with jumper pins in the correct position and for some reason windows and ubuntu arent picking it up, but the BIOS is
[07:25] <Kuto2> i know its stupid but from xubuntu how do i get a complete ubuntu installation?
[07:25] <oskude> DarkWizzard: normally you start "daemons" from there... dunno whats tor
[07:25] <kaur> using dapper and my laptops fan keeps running all the time. Proccessor(s) are not loaded. What could be the problem?
[07:25] <kitche> oskude: you can also use apachectl to start apache just so you know
[07:25] <hondje> Kuto2: If you mean to install the gnome stuff, in a terminal run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[07:25] <DarkWizzard> oskude not always
[07:25] <ardchoille> sheepy1988: You have to edit /etc/fstab so that Ubuntu can mount it on startup
[07:25] <kishore> ubotu, oracle
[07:25] <ubotu> If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
[07:26] <DarkWizzard> but same thing If I start it from there too
[07:26] <sheepy1988> any ideas about windows?
[07:26] <ToHellWithGA> oskude: it's a manual on what each parameter in the config file does.  it is not a config file, but rather a mess of independent lines
[07:26] <Kuto2> thanks
[07:26] <sheepy1988> i want windows to recognise it more so than ubuntu
[07:26] <oskude> DarkWizzard: do the command i said, and pastebin me a problem
[07:26] <ijii> i tried the ide=nodma line, but i still have the [17179704.65600]  Buffer I/O error on device hdc, ligical block 178792 errors :(
[07:26] <DarkWizzard> man
[07:26] <DarkWizzard> its the same
[07:26] <DarkWizzard> !
[07:26] <ToHellWithGA> i have to get to class soon, but i'll be back later scratching my head and trying to figure this problem out
[07:26] <ToHellWithGA> thanks for the links, oskude
[07:26] <swashbucklinstev> I'm on 6.06LTS Dapper AMD64 and /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh complains that no acceptable C compiler can be found. How can I fix this?
[07:27] <kitche> ijii: is that for all the discs you use?
[07:27] <DarkWizzard> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25743/
[07:27] <oskude> ToHellWithGA: i think you just havent searched enough... there are so many icecast servers...
[07:27] <ardchoille> sheepy1988: No clue, I haven't used Windows in years
[07:27] <kitche> !compile > swashbucklinstev
[07:27] <ijii> i've tried using only on installation disc on one harddrive
[07:27] <sheepy1988> dammit
[07:27] <oskude> DarkWizzard: 1st, i dont see ANY errors there, so wheres the problem ?
[07:27] <kitche> swashbucklinstev: that's what you need what ubotu sent you
[07:27] <DarkWizzard> I'm asking you
[07:27] <sheepy1988> cheers anyway ardchoille
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> If I knew what the problem was I wouldn't be here
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> hi all... how can I open remote files with nautilus/gedit without gedit setting them as read only?
[07:28] <zv_odd_> ok i tried typing "echo gksudo gedit >> lol.sh" then "chmod o+x lol.sh" then "./lol.sh" and it says permission denied. Why what did i do worng?
[07:28] <SoH|Tony> hello again
[07:28] <oskude> DarkWizzard: eeh what ? i dont even know whats the problem...
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> zv_odd_: its chmod u+x
[07:28] <SoH|Tony> anyone here that remember me from 1h ago? =P
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> lol man
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> firewall
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> daemons start
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> but Cant connect
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> o+x means other users can execute
[07:28] <zv_odd_> lol
[07:28] <DarkWizzard> and the policy is right
[07:29] <XhyldazhK> how can i remote edit with gedit?
[07:29] <ApesMa> Is there a different channel for Edgy Eft discussion?
[07:29] <oskude> DarkWizzard: please do "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" and show me its errors
[07:29] <zv_odd_> that stupid mistake aside, is there a better way todo wat i am trying todo
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> man
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> I alredy did
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> no errors
[07:29] <SoH|Tony> i have a big problem when installing ubuntu: it completely ignores the partition already made (15gb,90,6.77) on my laptop. how can i make sure he gets the 6.77gb one?
[07:29] <lamego> ApesMa, #ubuntu+1
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> it starts!
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> but Cant connect
[07:29] <chantra> hi there, is there any irish around?
[07:29] <ApesMa> lamego: tnx 1e6
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> ah screw it you guys are too busy to concentrate
[07:29] <kitche> zv_odd_: yes just do gksudo gedit in a console
[07:29] <DarkWizzard> thanks anyway
[07:29] <oskude> DarkWizzard: wait!
[07:30] <oskude> what an ***
[07:30] <SoH|Tony> =\
[07:30] <ijii> i thought I'm suppose to simply boot the desktop cd and install and during the installation i have options to partition my harddrive, am i suppose to partition my harddrive before installing?
[07:30] <kitche> oskude: his problem was that he didn't know how to make a config file when he doesn't read docs
[07:30] <SoH|Tony> anyone got any idea about my problem? =\
[07:31] <Dr_willis> SoH|Tony,  leave it unallocated.. let the installer find/format it.
[07:31] <oskude> kitche: no, he just posted this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25742/ and didnt say 1. what he wanted to do. 2. what the problem is...
[07:31] <SoH|Tony> i dont think i know what unallocated means but ill try
[07:31] <kitche> oskude: his problem was that he didn't know how to configure it from what I read
[07:31] <XhyldazhK> anyone knows how to open remote files in gedit whitout having them as read only? i've googled a lot and i don't found an answer
[07:32] <Dr_willis> NOT in any partition.. just select the 6gb and delte the partition.. then reboot and let the isntaller look for it and tell it to use the unallocated space.
[07:32] <oskude> kitche: what ever, inpatient people nerv me, i go eat
[07:32] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, how are you accessing them?
[07:32] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: via nautilus
[07:32] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: but i'm not in gnome
[07:32] <SoH|Tony> ok willis
[07:32] <SoH|Tony> thanks
[07:32] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, what protocol? samba?
[07:32] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: ftp with password
[07:32] <rukuartic> Does anyone know how I can mount a fat32 partition so that everyone can read/write to it, not just root?
[07:33] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: strange thing is that konqueror can edit them
[07:33] <boink> !schedule
[07:33] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[07:33] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, if its ftp, you'll need to create a local copy, then upload the changed file
[07:33] <XhyldazhK> with kate
[07:33] <ladydoor> rukuartic: try adding umask=111 in its entry in fstab (after backing up fstab)
[07:33] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: but... why you can't edit it online?
[07:33] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, dunno
[07:33] <XhyldazhK> all modern editors support that
[07:33] <ladydoor> rukuartic: (in the options section--so it might look like defaults,umask=111)
[07:33] <rukuartic> ladydoor: Thanks, I think thats it!
[07:33] <kmaynard> try right clicking it and select gedit to open it
[07:33] <XhyldazhK> and worst of all... i was been able to remotely edit with gedit before
[07:34] <ladydoor> rukuartic: np
[07:34] <rukuartic> ladydoor: Can you explain what that does?
[07:35] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, what are you doing different now?
[07:35] <ladydoor> rukuartic: basically, i think it tells the computer that the only permissions people don't have is execute (1). it's the opposite of chmod's system, basically.
[07:35] <XhyldazhK> running window maker instead of gnome?
[07:35] <XhyldazhK> thats the only thing i'm doing different
[07:35] <rukuartic> ladydoor: Haha, thanks!
[07:35] <ladydoor> rukuartic: np
[07:35] <davvs> is there any command to find all soft links in a directory hierarchy?
[07:35] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, i had trouble with some things when i ran xfce4...there must be some gnome goodness not happening in window maker now
[07:36] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: like which things?
[07:36] <yu_raider> hi
[07:36] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, like being able to use gedit over ftp?
[07:36] <rukuartic> davvs: you could "ls -lr ./" and grep for "s" in the first part of the permissions...
[07:36] <XhyldazhK> did u had trouble with that in other environments distinct to gnome?
[07:37] <MikeyMike> is there perhaps a way to send bits to a certain ip on bittorrent if you're still seeding?
[07:37] <MikeyMike> or perhaps direct the person to your ip
[07:37] <MikeyMike> to add your ip
[07:37] <davvs> rukuartic, how whould i do that ? what command that is
[07:37] <rukuartic> davvs: sorry, "l" not s
[07:37] <rukuartic> davvs: find the directory you want to search
[07:37] <rukuartic> davvs: type "ls -l ./ | grep sr"
[07:37] <davvs> ok.. thanks
[07:37] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, not really...i either use smb or nfs for remote mounts tho
[07:37] <rukuartic> davvs: Not the best way to do it
[07:38] <kmaynard> i had trouble with media codecs
[07:38] <davvs> rukuartic, ok, it works i guess :P
[07:38] <markeib_> how can i copy a dir with the console?
[07:38] <Dr_willis> markeib_, yes
[07:38] <Dr_willis> cp -R
[07:38] <markeib_> -R?
[07:39] <markeib_> thankx
[07:39] <markeib_> s
[07:39] <Dr_willis> man cp
[07:39] <joeri> what is this?
[07:39] <Dr_willis> and google for some bash tutorials
[07:39] <markeib_> i prefer doing those things by hand but he won't let me since i don't have the rights
[07:40] <XhyldazhK> kmaynard: http://bamboomoon.org/gnome/use_gedit_to_edit_files_across_ftp
[07:40] <markeib_> by mouse*
[07:40] <Dr_willis> markeib_,  thats what 'sudo' lets you do.
[07:40] <Dr_willis> it pays to learn the shell...
[07:40] <Dr_willis> or use 'mc'
[07:40] <kmaynard> XhyldazhK, hang on, closed the browser :)
[07:41] <MZM> any oracle experts here?
[07:41] <markeib_> yes, Dr_willis but how can i use sudo with nautilus?
[07:41] <Dr_willis> markeib_,  best answer  you DONT.. it can do nasty things
[07:42] <Dr_willis> markeib_,  if you must use a  fancier file manager.. learn to use 'mc' and sudo it. :P

[07:43] <Fackamato> oskude, okay, thanks.. I'll check it out.
[07:43] <markeib_> ok just one question how do i remove one folder recursively in the console?
[07:43] <markeib_> rm -R?
[07:44] <fresch> o
[07:44] <blazemonger> even a person i know that says he hated linux likes ubuntu
[07:44] <Dr_willis> ' one folder recursively' - Hmmm...
[07:44] <ladydoor> markeib_: rm -r. if you don't want it to prompt you for each file, use -rf. but BE CAREFUL.
[07:44] <Dr_willis> rm -R removes the DIRECTORY and all stuff in it.
[07:44] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:44] <ladydoor> markeib_: rm doesn't send anything to the trashcan--it's *gon*
[07:44] <markeib_> 'one folder + subfolders recursively' :P
[07:44] <ladydoor> * or gone, even
[07:44] <markeib_> who needs trashcans?
[07:45] <ladydoor> markeib_: not i!
[07:45] <Enselic> Where can I read about how to mount SD-cards? I fail to google :(
[07:45] <markeib_> grr i spend all my time trying to make my desktop look better!
[07:45] <Zarephath_> Under Places --> Computer it lists my first hard drive hda1....Ubuntu is installed to hdb...when I double click the icon I get a message stating /dev/hda1 is not removable then a second error regarding not being able to execute pmount..anyone help me resolve this?
[07:45] <kmaynard> Enselic, what desktop you use?
[07:45] <exmethix> could anybody help me installing a gtk2 theme in edgy eft?
[07:46] <markeib_> i hate the fact that you have so many possibilities
[07:46] <exmethix> pls
[07:46] <Enselic> kmaynard: Gnome 2.14 on Ubuntu 6.06
[07:46] <kmaynard> Enselic, what kind of reader you have on your pc?
[07:46] <ladydoor> markeib_: your problems are solved! http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison
[07:47] <Enselic> kmaynard: I have a laptop, and the reader is part of the laptp hardware so to speak, it supports several formats
[07:47] <XhyldazhK> by the way... its time to switch to Edgy Eft.... or its still 'too edgy' ?
[07:47] <kmaynard> Enselic, do you have anything in Computer for your reader?
[07:47] <markeib_> oh but i love it, it's just the fact that it's so interesting and doesn't really get you any further :P
[07:47] <Dr_willis> I got a laptop and its card reader isent seen/configured right.. :( i think the next kernel fixes that however.
[07:47] <capiCrimm> ping
[07:48] <Dr_willis> pong
[07:48] <Zarephath_> tic tac toe
[07:48] <dabugas> hi
[07:48] <oskude> XhyldazhK: edgy is still beta
[07:48] <boink> it will be released on 26 October
[07:48] <Enselic> kmaynard: Nope
[07:49] <dabugas> i can only play video dvds as root. any ideas?
[07:49] <Zarephath_> Someone help me understand why I can't change the name of my USB drive that is automounting at boot? it names it "New Volume"
[07:50] <gustavo> helloo
[07:50] <swashbucklinstev> thanks kitche
[07:52] <Enselic> kmaynard: You gave up on me already? :)
[07:52] <njal> Um how do I check if I am using opensource nvidia drivers or the oss ones?
[07:52] <njal> argh
[07:52] <njal> the normal nvidia drivers or the oss ones
[07:52] <SoH|Tony> hello its me again
[07:52] <kmaynard> Enselic, what kind of laptop
[07:53] <SoH|Tony> whats the best filesystem for a linux root partition and for a swap partition?
[07:53] <ladydoor> SoH|Tony: the best for swap is swap :-)
[07:53] <oskude> njal: one way is "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and look if there "nv" or "nvidia"
[07:53] <SoH|Tony> i dont have only fat32 and ntfs... i got a whole load of filesystems =(
[07:53] <kmaynard> njal, look in /etc/X!!/xorg.conf  if the driver is nvidia, its proprietary. if it's nv, its oss
[07:53] <Enselic> kmaynard: It's a pretty local custom one, a Zepto (<- company name)  Znote 4015
[07:53] <ladydoor> SoH|Tony: and there're a lot of good filesystems for / ...fat32 isn't recommended, and ntfs would be deadly. i'd go for ext3.
[07:53] <oskude> SoH|Tony: for / i would use ext3 and swap has "swap"
[07:53] <vit_> hy all
[07:54] <blazemonger> configuring Ubuntu wasn't too difficul either
[07:54] <njal> and nv is the oss one right?
[07:54] <vit_> vorbeste cineva in romina ???
[07:54] <SoH|Tony> "and ntfs would be deadly" whoooo i was going to chose that
[07:54] <SoH|Tony> thanks lady and oskude
[07:54] <ladydoor> SoH|Tony: no problem :-)
[07:54] <njal> and setting it to nvidia then simply rebooting will be fine, coz i have nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx installed
[07:55] <Enselic> kmaynard: Is SD support supposed to be automagicall?
[07:55] <SoH|Tony> swap filesystem is linux-swap right? gon chose that for my 800mb swap partition
[07:55] <oskude> njal: yes, nv is the oss, nvidia is the closed source
[07:55] <kmaynard> Enselic, i dunno then. check /etc/fstab to see if there's an entry in there. if not, you're gonna have to do some digging to figure out how ubuntu is detecting that drive, and add an fstab option for it
[07:55] <oskude> SoH|Tony: yup
[07:55] <SoH|Tony> kk great
[07:55] <njal> oskude: So with the correct kernel modules installed it's simply a matter of rebooting?
[07:55] <kmaynard> njal, you'll soon find out
[07:56] <oskude> njal: yup, but dunno if you really need reboot of whole system, restart of gdm could be enought
[07:56] <njal> I hear running glxgears will show me how well the card is performing, assuming my desktop comes back up with no problem
[07:57] <SoH|Tony> what does "mount" mean?
[07:57] <oskude> njal: yup, and glxinfo too
[07:57] <kmaynard> njal, bite the bullet dude
[07:57] <njal> oskude: Ok cool thanks
[07:57] <Enselic> kmaynard: No SD stuff in fstab, I'll make further investigations, thank you for your time anyway
[07:57] <Enselic> SoH|Tony: "attach to"
[07:57] <Enselic> SoH|Tony: kind of
[07:57] <kmaynard> Enselic, any idea what brand the drive is?
[07:57] <oskude> SoH|Tony: you mount a partition to a place in the system so you can use it.. (in windows that mount point would be like "C:")
[07:58] <SoH|Tony> ubuntu is asking me if i want to mount my already-in-use 90gb partition to /media/sda5 and my windows partition to /media/sda1
[07:58] <SoH|Tony> ok ill let him mount them then
[07:58] <ladydoor> SoH|Tony: well, in linux, there's only a single filesystem, with a root at / (pronounced ``slash'' or ``root'')...when you put a partition into a dir in that filesystem so you can access it, you've mounted it.
[07:58] <ephemeros> yo \m/
[07:58] <SoH|Tony> im overwhelmed... so much help for a small user =)
[07:58] <oskude> SoH|Tony: that means you can acces those partitions from those directories (and they will be mounted automaticly on boot)
[07:59] <SoH|Tony> ok so this doesnt mean loss of data for those partitions? hope not =)
[07:59] <oskude> SoH|Tony: ntfs filesystems are normally mounted as read only, so you cant write to there from linux
[07:59] <Gasten> What do you think, Dots at the end of a comment or not?
[08:00] <SoH|Tony> that is really bad!
[08:00] <Gasten> oh, sorry! wrong channel!
[08:00] <oskude> SoH|Tony: well, go blame ms for that!
[08:00] <Hattori> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper but i get: http://pastebin.ca/192115
[08:00] <SoH|Tony> because my 90gb partition is NTFS and i really need that data =\
[08:00] <ladydoor> SoH|Tony: tell windows to release their source! then linux could read/write them easily.
[08:00] <SoH|Tony> well
[08:00] <SoH|Tony> if i reformat it to fat32, would it work then?
[08:00] <oskude> SoH|Tony: they dont show open source developers howto use that filesystem, so they have very hardtime to support that filesystem.
[08:00] <MikeyMike> what does snubbed mean in torrent terms?
[08:00] <Zaggynl> fat32 is supported well
[08:00] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:01] <Hattori> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper but i get: http://pastebin.ca/192115
 SoH|Tony: well, go blame ms for that!why it enters 2.6.15-26 kernel dir? i have <IP_ADDRESS> currently installed
[08:01] <Gasten> SoH|Tony: There is some files you could download to write to a ntfs!
[08:01] <oskude> SoH|Tony: fat32 has very good support under linux
[08:01] <SoH|Tony> damn where will i put 80gb of stuff temporarily? =P
[08:01] <Zaggynl> SoH|Tony, You could try to use vmware to run winxp and share the partition for safe write support
[08:01] <Gasten> SoH|Tony: Thou, it isn't 100% safe to do that.
[08:01] <Zaggynl> I do that now :)
[08:01] <feross> SoH|Tony:  go to  http://fdalmoro.blogspot.com  wrote how to share partitions with windows.
[08:01] <SoH|Tony> vmware is like a windowsxp emulator?
[08:01] <oskude> Hattori: sory, i got no experience with ndiswrapper, never used it...
[08:01] <Hattori> hmm sorry..
[08:01] <Enselic> kmaynard: No idea what the name is, I tried to find /dev -name "*sd*" without success
[08:01] <Zaggynl> !vmware
[08:01] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[08:02] <SoH|Tony> aha its a mediaplayer
[08:02] <Zaggynl> hm, well it emulates a whole new computer
[08:02] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:02] <oskude> Hattori: but this seems to be what you should investigate "/bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory"
[08:02] <njal> ok thanks guy I now have my nvidia card working properly
[08:02] <heanol_> can you chose lilo in the alternate install?
[08:02] <Hattori> any module i'm missing?
[08:03] <oskude> SoH|Tony: you should ALLWAYS have external backups... yes, windows can broke things too... so, dont trust computers ;)
[08:03] <Attha1> hi room, how i can play mp3 files in ubuntu? where i can download codecs?
[08:03] <SoH|Tony> zaggynl so its like i can have ubuntu and XP running at the same time?
[08:03] <Gasten> SoH|Tony: I think you can get something here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions?action=show&redirect=NTFSReadWrite
[08:03] <SoH|Tony> well i have this PC as main workstation and that laptop as mobile. i should backup my laptop to my pc ^^
[08:03] <Gasten> SoH|Tony: Otherwise, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=ntfs&titlesearch=Titles
[08:03] <oskude> Hattori: and nevers seen something like this "sudo make make -C driver" sure that is correct ?
[08:03] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:03] <Zaggynl> SoH|Tony, well, you run vmware in linux, and in vmware you can run another OS
[08:04] <Gasten> SoH|Tony: but as I said, it isn't 100% secure.
[08:04] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:04] <dabugas> i can only play video dvds as root. any ideas?
[08:04] <SoH|Tony> life isnt 100% secure. just have to know how to use it =)
[08:04] <ardchoille> SoH|Tony: :)
[08:04] <devnull> my gnome-panels keep failing and locking up ... i can't figure out which applet is crashing them but i have almost no usuability in gnome without the panels ... is there anything i can do ?
[08:05] <Hattori> oskude: is not me, is the make script that do that
[08:05] <feross> dabugas: hmm look in system>admin>users and groups .. make sure you have permissions for verythnig
[08:05] <Attha1> how i can play mp3 files in ubuntu? thank you
[08:05] <SoH|Tony> is there a method to change the filesystem of a partition without loss of data?
[08:06] <oskude> Hattori: ok...
[08:06] <Gasten> devnull: Well, I don't think that the applet's messing it up. But I have no idea what it is. Have you been messing with the source?
[08:06] <dabugas> feross, accroding to users-admin i do
[08:06] <devnull> gasten no i haven't
[08:06] <Gasten> Attha1: do a search on EasyUbuntu.
[08:06] <feross> !easyubuntu
[08:06] <ladydoor> !codecs> Attha1
[08:06] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[08:06] <devnull> the only thing that is different is i have deskbar-applet on the panel but it was running fine last time the panels were working
[08:06] <feross> Attha1: easyubuntu can install the codecs for you
[08:06] <devnull> i have 3 panels and i can't use any of them
[08:07] <oskude> SoH|Tony: i think it depends on from what to what... and then ask google
[08:07] <Attha1> thank you
[08:07] <Gasten> devnull: well, I can't really help you. sorry. I think you should do a post on one of the forums, and maybe even a bugreport on launchpad.
[08:07] <feross> devnull: did you ps aux and look for anything that could be runnig in the background that could cause that?
[08:07] <SoH|Tony> ok ubuntu is installing
[08:07] <SoH|Tony> thanks for all support =)
[08:08] <devnull> feross ... i am not sure what in the background would cause it though
[08:08] <oskude> SoH|Tony: np, thats why we are here :)
[08:08] <devnull> feross i did that last night for an hour
[08:08] <SoH|Tony> such easy thing to do as installing a new OS seems to be very hard on my hands ^^
[08:08] <devnull> plus i don't know how to remove things from the panel without having access to the panel so they all just keep getting reloaded
[08:08] <Attha1> when i turn on my computer the ubuntu will connect automatic to internet (dialup). how i can turn off automatic connection?
[08:08] <oskude> SoH|Tony: dualboot is allways hard, if you dont know about partitions and file systems (on what ever os)
[08:09] <SoH|Tony> well i got my bad experiences on that already =P
[08:09] <feross> devnull: if your gnome sessions are being saved then the next time you start gnome it will start all of those background critters again. you might have to blow away all of your gnome settings and start over.
[08:09] <SurfnKid> allright its question time
[08:09] <SurfnKid> how do i remove an error on network startup
[08:09] <SurfnKid> its a fiaif error
[08:09] <devnull> feross .... can i remove things from the gnome session by hand ?
[08:09] <SurfnKid> where can i check for network startup settings
[08:10] <devnull> i just dont know what would be fudging up the panels
[08:10] <SoH|Tony> and i only have laptop-vital stuff and some documentaries (well a lot of them, including one about linux which is the reason im here) so it shouldnt be a killer loss
[08:11] <devnull> can i just remove the session file ?
[08:11] <feross> devnull: ahh, i think if you don't mind setting up your gnome stuff again it better just to start from scratch. It will probably not take very long.
[08:11] <oskude> SurfnKid: i only know /etc/network/interfaces
[08:11] <Kuto2> where do i get ncurses-devel and gtk+ stuff for ubuntu?
[08:11] <oskude> devnull: make a backup first, and try
[08:11] <devnull> feross ... should i just kill the whole .gnome2 dir ?
[08:11] <devnull> oskude good idea
[08:11] <Kuto2> pls someone help me?
[08:12] <oskude> Kuto2: by installing ncurses devel package, and gtk+ stuff :/
[08:12] <feross> devnull: you can mv it just in case.. log out then alt+ctrl+f2 .. log in and mv it. then go bac to alt+f7 and log in.
[08:12] <ladydoor> Kuto2: libncurses5-dev is the packagename.
[08:13] <SurfnKid> oskude, apparently its an error on fiaif, fiaif is a network firewall simple to use but i didnt need it any longer and uninstalled it, but when ubuntu starts now something shows up and says startup failure. network is fine, but it does bother me to see that
[08:13] <devnull> feross ... i know how to move around linux fine ... just making sure .gnome2 is the only directory i need to move ?
[08:13] <Kuto2> ladydoor: thanks
[08:13] <feross> yup
[08:13] <devnull> thank you :)
[08:13] <ladydoor> Kuto2: np
[08:13] <devnull> i will brb
[08:14] <oskude> SurfnKid: oh, firewall, never used one, sorry...
[08:14] <Kuto2> ladydoor: what about gtk+ stuff
[08:14] <SurfnKid> oskude, its ok
[08:14] <oskude> Kuto2: please define gtk+ stuff
[08:14] <ladydoor> Kuto2: do you mean gtk dev libraries? if you search in synaptic or aptitude or adept or do apt-cache search you can find them and any other gtk stuff you could want.
[08:14] <Attha1> i installed easyubuntu, but still i can't play mp3 files! :(
[08:14] <Kuto2> ladydoor: do they change package names??
[08:15] <ladydoor> Kuto2: what?
[08:15] <Lunar_Lamp> can anyone tell me why this command is not deleting files on the backup device that have been deleted on the primary device please: http://pastebin.co.uk/3099
[08:15] <godzirra> how do I get something like gpm so I can cut and paste in the console mode?
[08:15] <feross> Attha1: double click the volume applet and make sure that alsa is selected and your sound card is there.
[08:15] <kitche> Kuto2: Ubuntu uses it's own package names if that's what you meant
[08:16] <feross> Attha1: also look for PCM and make sure it's not muted. Unmute Master and PCM and raise the volume on those.
[08:16] <Attha1> oh sorry, i forget to update easy ubuntu! im doing that now
[08:16] <feross> ok
[08:16] <godzirra> how do I get something like gpm so I can cut and paste in the console mode?
[08:17] <SoH|Tony> mhm
[08:17] <ladydoor> godzirra: use gnu screen--it's got cut/paste and terminal multiplexing :-)
[08:17] <feross> godzirra: ah ladydoor beat me to it .. screen is cool.
[08:17] <godzirra> ladydoor: the problem is I already have some text I need to save and i dont want to retype it all
[08:17] <godzirra> normally Id o use screen
[08:17] <godzirra> this is just a new install
[08:17] <godzirra> and i need to show someone else this output
[08:17] <SoH|Tony> when shutting down my ubuntu it gets a list of processes being stopped. but when stopping RAID monitoring, it says it fails doing that. is it THAAT bad?
[08:18] <ladydoor> godzirra: try putting it in a file, with >
[08:18] <godzirra> Its already on the screen
[08:18] <godzirra> and its multiple commands
[08:18] <godzirra> Really I just need gpm :)
[08:18] <dyn-afk> SoH|Tony do you have a RAID setup ?
[08:19] <SoH|Tony> i dont know
[08:19] <feross> godzirra: can you alt+f3 or something.. then install gdm and go back to wherever you were
[08:19] <SoH|Tony> i just installed ubuntu
[08:19] <oskude> SoH|Tony: ubuntu dapper or edgy ?
[08:19] <feross> s/gdm/gpm
[08:19] <godzirra> feross: gdm?  thats gnome display manager.
[08:19] <godzirra> ahh :)
[08:19] <SoH|Tony> i dont know =S
[08:19] <godzirra> I could, but gpm isnt a package according to ubuntu
[08:19] <dyn-afk> then you don't have a RAID setup SoH|Tony
[08:19] <Garnol> hi ive a question about ubuntu ..
[08:19] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:19] <SoH|Tony> =)
[08:19] <godzirra> I just hae the gpm libs and mdetect which just detects mice.
[08:19] <Garnol> can i install ubuntu on a flash drive ..
[08:19] <dyn-afk> and because you don't have one, it fails shutting down RAID
[08:19] <Trae> could someone please help me restore grub?
[08:19] <Garnol> i mean an Usb stick or a SD Card
[08:19] <dyn-afk> simply logic :P
[08:19] <Trae> I've booted the live cd
[08:20] <kitche> Garnol: if you use the livecd you can and got enough space
[08:20] <dyn-afk> very normal that something fails to shutdown something that's not running
[08:20] <oskude> Trae: does this help ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:20] <feross> godzirra: well... I can keep going on about how you can wget it and install anyway but it seems you want something OTHER than gpm. jeje I'm not sure there is one.
[08:20] <Trae> oskude: k, sec
[08:21] <godzirra> feross: no, I want exactly gpm
[08:21] <godzirra> I just dont know where to get it :p
[08:21] <Garnol> hh .. but on the CD you cant wride on
[08:21] <ijii> damn, I still have the same error installing ubuntu with a different harddrive!
[08:21] <kitche> !gpm
[08:21] <ubotu> gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-21ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 201 kB, installed size 496 kB
[08:21] <kitche> dogzirra: there you go :)
[08:21] <david83> Garnol try "damn small linux" its perfect for pen-drive installation
[08:21] <kitche> opps godzirra*
[08:21] <ijii> i still have the buffer I/O error on device hdc
[08:21] <SoH|Tony> ok great
[08:21] <SoH|Tony> no internet connection
[08:21] <kitche> ijii: it's the cd most likely a bad burn
[08:21] <SoH|Tony> ion ubuntu =\
[08:21] <godzirra> Ahh, I got it :)
[08:22] <oskude> ijii: did you try with "ide=nodma" ?
[08:22] <ijii> i did oskude
[08:22] <Lattyware> Hey all, Does anyone know how it is possible to upmix all of my audio to utilise my 5.1 system?
[08:22] <ijii> that took away the timout waiting for DMA and hdc: drive not ready for command errors
[08:22] <kitche> ijii: since hdc is usually a cdrom unless you have three hard drives
[08:22] <oskude> ijii: try the "check cd" boot option, and see if the cd is ok
[08:23] <Lattyware> I currently hit 'Four Channel Mode', but that doesn't utilise the Center or sub
[08:23] <SoH|Tony> what is the program called to configure internet connection in ubuntu? =\
[08:23] <C0RVUS> bonjour, je cherche un serveur fr
[08:23] <ijii> oh, maybe i can use my dvdrw drive instead of the dvd-rom
[08:23] <kitche> SoH|Tony: you connected directly to the modem?
[08:23] <ijii> i did that oskude, but it pretty much immediately did the normal install
[08:23] <Nelo> Hello, I am trying to use smb://ipaddresss/shared_point and it does not work. When I mount via smb fs it works. is there something else i need to do in order to use the smb://
[08:23] <SoH|Tony> its a lan cable connected to a switch which is connected to a rounter which is connected to a cable modem
[08:24] <SoH|Tony> router*
[08:24] <oskude> ijii: hmm, when i download iso file, i allways look the md5 sum of it before i burn it... just to be sure the download was ok...
[08:24] <david83> pppoeconf @ SoH|Tony
[08:24] <JoshuaW> Hello :P
[08:24] <SoH|Tony> thanks
[08:24] <kitche> SoH|Tony: ok so your not connected to the modem directly I m I correct?
[08:24] <ijii> how do i check the md5 sum?
[08:24] <kitche> since ppoeconf will only be used if you are directly connected
[08:24] <blackwire83> hey, has anyone got a pointer how to use more than 8 loop devices? (i have kernel param max_loop=255 already set)
[08:25] <JoshuaW> Can someone help me?
[08:25] <ijii> my normal dvd drive is like 7-8 years old
[08:25] <david83> man md5sum @ ijii
[08:25] <oskude> ijii: the ubuntu download page has information for that
[08:25] <ijii> ok sorry
[08:25] <Garnol> (ok im back) .. i dont want to use the live CD, because you cant write programms or delet programms on a CD .. so i want to use an USB Stick or SD Card .. is it possible to install ubuntu on things like that ?
[08:26] <haijun> hi everybody
[08:26] <harsha> Hello everyon!
[08:26] <oskude> ijii: but on the end it takes you here http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html
[08:26] <david83> Garnol what about damn small linux ? you don't like it? it's just 60MB
[08:26] <phaedrus44> what is that command to see disks and how much disk space is used?
[08:26] <SoH|Tony> [20:24:42]  <kitche> SoH|Tony: ok so your not connected to the modem directly I m I correct?
[08:26] <SoH|Tony> yes to that
[08:26] <ladydoor> phaedrus44: df -h
[08:26] <phaedrus44> ladydoor  what does that stand for?
[08:26] <david83> df or du @ phaedrus44
[08:26] <SoH|Tony> kitche: yes
[08:26] <harsha> Is the default alt-tab behaviour different on Dapper? This new scheme is getting to my nerves.
[08:26] <ladydoor> phaedrus44: degrees of freedom --human-readable
[08:26] <Lattyware> Hey all, does anyone know how I can upmix my audio to 5.1 from stereo?
[08:27] <harsha> btw, I am on gnome.
[08:27] <kitche> SoH|Tony: well ifconfig can help out but there is a gui option to setup networking also
[08:27] <SoH|Tony> ok but
[08:27] <ladydoor> phaedrus44: (but the command is just df -h)
[08:27] <david83> with linux software @ Latty? no idea
[08:27] <C0RVUS> hello, I seek a waiter Fr, can you help me please ?
[08:27] <oskude> harsha: alt-tab works here like "allways" whats the problem ?
[08:27] <cesar> i need configure ctvfmi
[08:27] <Lattyware> david83: hmmm :/
[08:28] <Lattyware> I need my sub :P
[08:28] <SoH|Tony> u guys say pppoeconf, ifconfig... so there must be a console to write those keywords and open it through there (as if in "run") ?
[08:28] <TokenBad> ok i need help with something...I have 2 drives...the second drive is partitioned...and I want to install ubuntu on the second of those partitions...but see no way to do that auto an in the manual setup no idea how to do it...anyone help please?
[08:28] <oskude> SoH|Tony: applications - accessories - terminal
[08:28] <david83> :) i guess there are a lot hardware solutions for that @ Lattyware
[08:28] <SoH|Tony> thanks oskude
[08:28] <ijii> no wonder why i didn't see the md5sum, it's kind of out of the way
[08:28] <swashbucklinstev> Is there a legal reason libdvdcss can't be installed via the repositories?
[08:29] <oskude> SoH|Tony: and yes, it quite hidden there, i would drag it to the panel ;)
[08:29] <smax> hi gang
[08:29] <JoshuaW> Hello?
[08:29] <kitche> swashbucklinstev: copyrighted
[08:29] <Sasuk3> i
[08:29] <david83> sorry SoH pppoeconf was just because i thought you were direct behind the modem so if you have a router ifconfig is better
[08:29] <Lattyware> david83: Well, my speakers actually support upmixing, but I use that for my 360, and I don't want to have to switch cables every time I want to switch device :/
[08:29] <Sasuk3> I want to check nubuntu
[08:29] <oskude> swashbucklinstev: there are even legal issues for that to even exist...
[08:29] <SoH|Tony> ok
[08:29] <swashbucklinstev> kitche: ah, I thought it would be more like the DMCA thing
[08:29] <SoH|Tony> ok david
[08:29] <smax> i attempted a   apt-get remove mldonkey-server  and i get the following error message.  http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/ln5xqS90.html
[08:29] <TokenBad> I am at the screen it talks about mount points and no idea how to make sure it installs to the partition I want it to...and without formating the parts I don't want it to format
[08:29] <smax> how can i rid of this package ?
[08:29] <swashbucklinstev> oskude: DMCA?
[08:30] <smax> it's interfereing with my apt-get install
[08:30] <sonialh> hola
[08:30] <oskude> swashbucklinstev: whats that ?
[08:30] <harsha> cesar: Previously, I could switch between two application windows with two alt-tab strikes. Now I have to hold the alt key continuously and hit the tab key. Even then, it does not go back to the last visited application window, it cycles to some other one. Well, I wonder if I did a good job explaining it.
[08:30] <Dr_willis> TokenBad,  figure out what partition you want it to install to. would be step 1 i guess
[08:30] <david83> @swashbuck because it cracks the DVD Protection and that's not legal
[08:30] <TokenBad> I know what partition...its hdd2
[08:30] <dyn-afk> dmca: that idiotic american piece of law about "copyright protection"
[08:30] <swashbucklinstev> oskude: in american law, Digital Millenium Copyright Act
[08:30] <TokenBad> but its at the mount point section and its asking questions I don't know the answer to
[08:31] <Sasuk3> Nubuntu the best hacking distro?
[08:31] <Sasuk3> http://oliverwine.info/nubuntu/screens/640/screen5.jpg
[08:31] <Sasuk3> xD
[08:31] <dyn-afk> it's more like a law to squeeze more money out of consumers :X
[08:31] <Kuto2> how do i clear my terminal?
[08:31] <Kuto2> how do i clear my terminal?
[08:31] <Kuto2> ?????????/
[08:31] <dyn-afk> clear
[08:31] <oskude> swashbucklinstev: dunno, i know very little about america (or even the law)
[08:31] <david83> clear
[08:31] <Dr_willis> TokenBad,  you want / mounted to that partition you want it to install to
[08:31] <SoH|Tony> i cant configure that alone. would it be the same as configuring it in windows? cuz then i can call a friend of mine =)
[08:31] <sonialh> alguien k mande priva2
[08:31] <Kuto2> no like clear clear
[08:31] <swashbucklinstev> it's the one that made black sharpies theoretically illegal because copy protection can be circumvented on some earlier CDs by blacking out the track
[08:31] <Dr_willis> Kuto2,  dont be so rude.. and use the cls command
[08:31] <kitche> Kuto2 type reset
[08:31] <Dr_willis> oops thats my own alias.. :P
[08:31] <Dr_willis> lol
[08:31] <swashbucklinstev> which contains the copy protection software
[08:32] <Dr_willis> cls = clear
[08:32] <Hattori> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper but i get: http://pastebin.ca/192141 --> it hangs there.. what that mean???
[08:32] <TokenBad> Dr_willis: what about the rest of them...the swap and all that crap its asking about
[08:32] <patach> Hello, can anybody help me concerning hardware compadibility with ubuntu, xgl and compiz with a Imac
[08:32] <Dr_willis>  swashbucklinstev  that wasent even really copy protection.. it was just machine confusion.
[08:32] <oskude> swashbucklinstev: maybe theres a #politics or #law channel somewhere ;)
[08:32] <BullUK> HI, I dont want to interrupt while you guys are helping someone else, so once your done could someone help me to connect my smartphone via USB. TIA
[08:32] <harsha> cesar: how does it work for you?
[08:32] <patach> If it would be possible to work it.
[08:32] <sonialh> ay alguien k able espaol
[08:32] <Dr_willis> TokenBad,  if you had a sexction of the hard drive unallocated.. it could of setup the partitions automaticially. at a minimun you want a partition for / and a swap partitions
[08:33] <Zarephath_> Anyone know of a raw image viewer for digital photos?

[08:33] <JoshuaW> Can someone help me? I've got the ISO onto a CD, but I haven't got further from there :(
[08:33] <swashbucklinstev> oskude: #ideologies, but being that it's copyrighted I'm satisfied. the install script is really spectacular btw.
[08:33] <swashbucklinstev> :)
[08:33] <Garnol> Hi .. juppi .. You can install ubuntu on Mobile drives  !!
[08:33] <Garnol> and ciao
[08:33] <TokenBad> Dr_willis: so if I go an unalicate the partition that I done as ext3 it will do it auto?
[08:34] <Dr_willis> JoshuaW,  #1 - what did youy use to burn the iso to a cd.
[08:34] <oskude> JoshuaW: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[08:34] <alex_ubuntu> OK this is confusing, dapper server won't let me access from my samba share from my ubuntu machine
[08:34] <patach> Would xgl and comp work on an Imac ppc?
[08:34] <Zarephath_> JoshuaW: What..you actually burned the .iso file to disk?
[08:34] <SoH|Tony> oh great. in windows i got everything on "obtain automaticly". now i dont know my IP nor my DNS to configure my ubuntu networking =(
[08:34] <JoshuaW> I did what it said I think xD
[08:34] <Dr_willis> TokenBad,  i alwasy just resize the  drives and leave a few gb in an unallocated space at the end.. and the installer asks to use that part..
[08:34] <david83> then take DHCP @ SoH
[08:34] <Dr_willis> JoshuaW,  Check the Cd.. see what files are on it.. if theres a single whatever.iso  -> you did it wrong.
[08:35] <JoshuaW> Yeah I did it wrong
[08:35] <kitche> SoH|Tony: it should eb set to DHCP automatically on install
[08:35] <Zarephath_> SoH|Tony: run --> cmd --> ipconfig /all
[08:35] <JoshuaW> Did I miss a file or extraction?
[08:35] <oskude> SoH|Tony: "optain automaticly" could mean "dhcp" ...
[08:35] <Zarephath_> clear
[08:35] <Dr_willis> JoshuaW,  WHAT program did you use to burn the iso to cd? I reccomend you use 'burn at once' (free for windows)
[08:35] <Zarephath_> What no iformation on raw image viewer for linux?
[08:35] <Zarephath_> *information*
[08:36] <davidj_> hello
[08:36] <david83> xawtv maybe?
[08:36] <Dr_willis> Zarephath_,  ive loaded them with gimp i do belive.
[08:36] <JoshuaW> I used CDBurner :P
[08:36] <kitche> Zarephath_: umm that is a windows command and he's running Linux now so how can that help him?
[08:36] <davidj_> Zarephath, try Gimp
[08:36] <Hattori> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper but i get: http://pastebin.ca/192141 --> it hangs there.. what that mean???
[08:36] <Hattori> do i miss any package?
[08:36] <Hattori> hangs.. is more it waits any command from me
[08:36] <BullUK> http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/01/209226    <---- looks to have some info on raw
[08:36] <Hattori> i write "q" and exit
[08:37] <JoshuaW> :P
[08:37] <Zarephath_> kitche: Uhhh...I mis-read what he was doing..he said he was in windows didn't he?
[08:37] <SoH|Tony> thanks Zarephath_
[08:37] <Zarephath_> NP
[08:37] <kitche> Hattori: it seems like your missing the linux-kernel source
[08:37] <Hattori> apt-get install linux-kernel?
[08:38] <SoH|Tony> so can i just write the same stuff from ipconfig /all from my PC's windows to my laptop's ubuntu?
[08:38] <Zarephath> Test
[08:38] <david83> @ Hattori it's a list of console commands just go to that address  http://pastebin.ca/192141
[08:38] <dark_light> I have ubuntu-desktop installed and I installed the xubuntu-desktop, because in Breezy these two packages coexisted fine. But in Dapper, while the default font for gtk2 apps is fine (including firefox), in xfce the fonts is odd: in xchat they are tiny, in many gnome apps they are OK, in firefox the menu fonts are huge but page fonts are OK.. how can i configure this properly?
[08:38] <SoH|Tony> wouldnd it make my connection chocke to death?
[08:38] <Trae> oskude: hmmm
[08:38] <davidj_> Is anyone familar with using "setarch" on ubuntu (or another similar program)?
[08:38] <Trae> that seems to be for an older version of Ubuntu
[08:38] <BullUK> if its configured for DHCP (which it will default to) then there should be no need to write anything in
[08:38] <Zarephath> Wow that was frickin' wierd...XChat opened two Ubuntu channels on startup..
[08:39] <Zarephath> Dr_Willis: Thanks...I was looking for a program just like a viewer not a viewer/editor
[08:39] <dark_light> my major problem is with firefox fonts, two points above the epiphany fonts
[08:39] <david83> doubleclick
[08:39] <oskude> Trae: sorry, im getting sleepy. what is for older ubuntu ?
[08:39] <Dr_willis> Zarephath,  google is your friend.. or just try the different viewers
[08:39] <Hattori> oh sorry
[08:39] <Hattori> http://pastebin.ca/192148
[08:39] <JoshuaW> :(
[08:39] <david83> @Zarephath pornview gthumb
[08:39] <Hattori> is the right link
[08:40] <david83> ;)
[08:40] <Trae> np
[08:40] <Trae> oskude: sorry, the first two methods failed
[08:40] <Trae> didn't realize there were more
[08:40] <elliotb> i updated to edgy, then when i rebooted, X won't start
[08:40] <Trae> oskude: go to sleep!
[08:40] <Trae> ;)
[08:40] <elliotb> error says, "failed to load module `ati` (module requirement mismatch) no drivers available"
[08:40] <elliotb> so sad

[08:41] <BullUK> I'm having trouble getting my phone connected having followed a few how-tos. If I do a DMESG I can see that it's seeing the device but it doesn't mount it. Anyone know much about this ?
[08:41] <elliotb> anyone have any ideas?
[08:41] <ardchoille> elliotb: You might try #ubuntu+1
[08:41] <JoshuaW> *still confused*
[08:41] <elliotb> oh yeah, thanx ard
[08:41] <ardchoille> yw
[08:42] <Hattori> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper but i get: http://pastebin.ca/192148 --> it hangs there.. what that mean???
[08:42] <alex_ubuntu> why does my Ubuntu 606 server not show up in my routers DHCP table
[08:42] <david83> can somebody help me set up a "Terratec TerraCAM USB Pro" on Ubuntu??
[08:42] <atk> Hi. I'm a beginner with autotools and instructions say run aclocal but I can't find aclocal anywhere in the repositories. What's the catch?
[08:42] <kitche> Hattori: for some reason it's running perldebug which it should be doing
[08:42] <kitche> shouldn't*
[08:42] <Hattori> indeed
[08:42] <mjr> G,37
[08:42] <mjr> oops
[08:42] <Hattori> kitche: so what do to?
[08:43] <kitche> atk: aclocal is part of autotools
[08:43] <ardchoille> atk: type: which aclocal
[08:43] <fdr> hello... please, what is the quickest and easiest way to copy an audio cd under ubuntu?
[08:43] <BullUK> install gnomebaker
[08:43] <kitche> Hattori: reinstall ndiswrapper it seems
[08:43] <ladydoor> fdr: bashburn, or failing that gnomebaker or kd3
[08:43] <oskude> fdr: right click "copy cd" (iirc)
[08:43] <ardchoille> fdr: gnomebaker is quite nice
[08:44] <ijii> i just checked the md5sum of the image and it is different than the checksum listed, does that mean the mirror i downloaded from has an outdated one or something?
[08:44] <SoH|Tony> ok what im doing is: starting wXP on my laptop to get the infos from "ipconfig /all" and inserting it in the ubuntu networking configuration. is this a good idea?
[08:44] <kitche> ijii: no means your disc is bad
[08:44] <oskude> ijii: that means something went wrong on the way from the server to you
[08:44] <ardchoille> ijii: Could mean a corrupted download
[08:44] <buzzy-> how can i listen to .wav files?
[08:44] <kitche> SoH|Tony: yes you can do it that way if it's not a static ip
[08:44] <feross> SoH|Tony: if it's static yes, if it's dhcp probably not needed.
[08:44] <Trae> in grub, hd0,0 is hda1 right?
[08:44] <foo> I installed ubuntu server edition and then set up fulxbox ... what do I need to install to be able to get a network printer working on the network? Can I just install all printer utils?
[08:44] <atk> ardchoille: returns nothing
[08:44] <oskude> ijii: thats "normal" on the internet with big files...
[08:45] <BullUK> all you will need is the ip address, the subnet and the default gateway from the adapter your connecting via
[08:45] <ardchoille> oskude: I like you explanation better :)
[08:45] <atk> kitche: and how to get it?
[08:45] <kitche> atk: it should have installed when you installed autotools
[08:45] <SoH|Tony> "if it's dhcp probably not needed" if it was DHCP, firefox would have worked on ubuntu from hour0 right?
[08:45] <SoH|Tony> so it isnt?
[08:45] <david83> buzzy: did you tried xmms and totem-player?
[08:45] <ardchoille> kitche: I'm thinking he doesn't have autotools
[08:45] <BullUK> you can test by running ipconfig /renew in windows
[08:46] <BullUK> if it throws up an error about "no adapter is available" then your on static
[08:46] <kitche> ardchoille: yeah it seems that way
[08:46] <ru> it is possible to install eclipse from apt-get, without installing gnu-java? when eclipse run with gnu-java it works too slow (

[08:47] <Lunar_Lamp> can anyone tell me why this command is not deleting files on the backup device that have been deleted on the primary device please: http://pastebin.co.uk/3099
[08:47] <kitche> SoH|Tony: do you have a cable connected to your laptop or is it though wifi?
[08:47] <atk> kitche, oskude: Well, I think I might not even have autotools installed. Only thing I could find is autotools-dev package, but shouldn't there be "autotools" package?
[08:47] <SoH|Tony> o damn i hate myself now i dont even have internet connection in windows. i shouldnt have installed linux >.<
[08:47] <SoH|Tony> cable
[08:47] <smax> im having trouble uninstalling  mldonkey-server,  it does not provide an uninstall script and apt-get remove shows  http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/ln5xqS90.html     and synaptec shows E: mldonkey-server: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[08:48] <SoH|Tony> kitche: cable
[08:48] <oskude> atk: maybe they meen autoconf and/or automake, dunno...
[08:48] <BullUK> then the cable isnt connected correctly, do you have the little computer with an x in it by the clock?
[08:48] <SoH|Tony> it says the network cable is unplugged
[08:48] <davidj_> Anyone here familar with "setarch"?
[08:48] <foo> I installed ubuntu server edition and then set up fulxbox ... what do I need to install to be able to get a network printer working on the network? Can I just install all printer utils?
[08:48] <SoH|Tony> ya 3 X, 2 of them for wireless
[08:48] <Unbutunewbie> hello
[08:48] <Mille> i recommended ubuntu to a friend, but he has a major problem installing it. when you've choosed to start the live-cd it tries to load everything, but after a while the monitor goes to standby-mode. there after nothing more happens. he says that the cd is spinning but nothing happens for more then 15 minutes, the screen is just black. any ideas?
[08:48] <ardchoille> atk: Are you compiling aps?
[08:49] <devnull> back ... i moved my .gnome2 directory and my panels still aren't working
[08:49] <kitche> oskude: yes those are called autotools I know them by the name of the project
[08:49] <kitche> SoH|Tony: ok in a console type ifconfig eth0 up
[08:49] <devnull> i am very certain it is the panel or a panel applet and not some other program that is running
[08:49] <SoH|Tony> and yes the network cable is connected
[08:49] <atk> automake was the what I was missing, I already had autoconf :)
[08:49] <BullUK> kitche, he's in windows
[08:49] <SoH|Tony> kitche: first of all i want to rescue my internet connection in windows
[08:49] <oskude> devnull: and not using edgy or glx ?
[08:49] <atk> oskude: thanks
[08:49] <SoH|Tony> and the lights in the switch arent blinking
[08:49] <devnull> oskude no glx
[08:50] <kitche> SoH|Tony: well if it's windows then it should find the network automatically sounds like the switch is messed up
[08:50] <devnull> dapper
[08:50] <BullUK> well theres your problem then, the physical connection is down not much people can do from here
[08:50] <kitche> SoH|Tony: but open up the cmd and run ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew
[08:50] <BullUK> check the cable at both ends
[08:50] <Moriae> When I installed ubuntu, I wasn't prompted to create a password for 'root'. Is there a default password that it is set as?
[08:50] <JoshuaW> Can someone help me?
[08:50] <SoH|Tony> it says
[08:50] <oskude> devnull: have you installed applets outside ubuntu.com repos ? or even debs with dpkg ? or even self compiled ?
[08:50] <SoH|Tony> it says: "no operation can be performed on LAN while it has its media disconnected"
[08:50] <Stormx2> JoshuaW: Whats the problem?
[08:50] <kitche> !sudo > Moriae
[08:51] <Unbutunewbie> I've managed to install latest Ubunto desktop fine, but I tried installing the Server version and on first reboot it fails to load the and goes into a loop

[08:51] <BullUK> your not going to get anywhere while he has no insertion
[08:51] <kitche> Moriae: you can set a password but ubuntu uses sudo
[08:51] <devnull> oskude no ... the only app i added lately was NM and deskbar-applet
[08:51] <Moriae> Okay
[08:51] <SoH|Tony> my lancard is still regognized as such
[08:51] <Unbutunewbie> anyone here point me in the right direction?
[08:51] <JoshuaW> I seem to have messed up, I put the .iso on a cd and I still don't know what I did wrong :P
[08:51] <BullUK> you have a PCMCIA ethernet connection?
[08:51] <kitche> SoH|Tony: check the switch make sure everything is plugged in and such
[08:51] <Moriae> Thank you very much kitche.
[08:51] <Moriae> You have been a tremendous help.
[08:52] <ijii> oops, my download was actually correct (i accidently md5summed the wrong file :( ). but still i was able to create a cd with no problem and seems to be working just fine
[08:52] <ardchoille> Moriae: Use sudo for cli apps and use gksudo for gui apps. enabling the root account is not supported nor recommended.
[08:52] <oskude> devnull: then maybe uninstalling the applets you last install... sorry, i dont know where to debug that...
[08:52] <Stormx2> Unbutunewbie: If you could let us know what the errors are, do so. The server installation is optimized to be just that, a server. You can run a server on a desktop installation too, if thats what you want.
[08:52] <SoH|Tony> kitche: this PC im writting to u with is connected in the same switch
[08:52] <ijii> joshua, what program are you using?
[08:52] <pitillo> hi good afternoon, is there an easy way to add a iptables script to load when computers starts?
[08:52] <JoshuaW> Program?
[08:52] <JoshuaW> CDBurner
[08:52] <JoshuaW> 3
[08:52] <oskude> JoshuaW: you dont just put an iso to an cd, you have to "burn it as image"
[08:52] <Unbutunewbie> ok hold on
[08:52] <kitche> SoH|Tony: doesn't mean the laptop cable is plugged in to it though
[08:52] <devnull> oskude its okay ... it sounds like a good idea, i will give it a shot
[08:52] <JoshuaW> Oh
[08:52] <JoshuaW> Well I'm stuck, its stuck on the CD now
[08:53] <SoH|Tony> kitche: its a 5meter cable. i have it in my hand
[08:53] <SoH|Tony> its plugged in both ends =\
[08:53] <BullUK> try another port on the router
[08:53] <kitche> SoH|Tony: might be the port is bad it happens to switches alot
[08:53] <JoshuaW> I even tried overwritting the file with a blank :P
[08:54] <BullUK> if your not getting insertion lights then you definitely have a physical problem that needs sorting first
[08:54] <SoH|Tony> im thrilled
[08:54] <oskude> devnull: how exactly did you burn the image ? did you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[08:54] <oskude> sorry devnull:, ment JoshuaW  how exactly did you burn the image ? did you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowt
[08:54] <JoshuaW> I read it but I may have done something wrong
[08:54] <devnull> oskude .... after hours it was the deskbar applet apparently
[08:55] <BullUK> is there anyone in the room who could help me getting my smartphone connected via USB?
[08:55] <oskude> devnull: hmm, hope it aint a bug...
[08:55] <JoshuaW> Is there a possibility of me being able to overwrite the current one on the cd, so I could do it properly? :P
[08:55] <oskude> JoshuaW: if its a RW, yes
[08:55] <kmaynard> seriously?
[08:55] <JoshuaW> Nope :(
[08:55] <devnull> oskude i hope not aswell .. i like deskbar applet ... it is much better than katapult
[08:55] <JoshuaW> Its an R
[08:55] <oskude> JoshuaW: then you need another blacnk cd-r
[08:55] <SoH|Tony> kitche: after the last indice of internet connection in my laptop, this is what i have done: install ubunto, add a DNS server in ubunto (that in got from this pc), restart to windows and boom, no connection
[08:56] <kitche> BullUK: who makes the phone?
[08:56] <EVRAMP> 6.10 releasing on 26TH?
[08:56] <JoshuaW> Hmm
[08:56] <BullUK> its a HTC wizard (O2 XDA mini s)
[08:56] <devnull> btw ... is it safe to continue to use dapper repos ?
[08:56] <oskude> devnull: from which repo did you install it ?
[08:56] <Stormx2> SoH|Tony: ubunto?
[08:56] <JoshuaW> I tried clearing a cd, by making every file on a cd = nothing :P
[08:56] <oskude> devnull: continue to use dapper repo ? what does that mean ?

[08:57] <JoshuaW> Right
[08:57] <SoH|Tony> ok

[09:04] <Unbutunewbie> hi guys I have a similar problem to this tread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256144
[09:04] <BullUK> I did.... but you may have missed it in the mix up there. Its a HTC wizard that's badged as a O2 XDA mini s. Its a windows mobile 2005 device
[09:04] <highneko> Is it possible to programs from being highlighted when they're active or something? Here's a screenshot: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/numbers6554/Screenshot5.png
[09:04] <Unbutunewbie> anyone got any idears
[09:04] <kitche> BullUK: hmm don't know anything about those phones but I tend to look for highlighted lines :)
[09:05] <kothz> Hrm.  Go for guinness.  Install kubuntu.  Go for guinness.  Install kubuntu.  Decisions, decisions...
[09:05] <JoshuaW> :p
[09:05] <Unbutunewbie> I'm trying to install the server edition because I want to build a jabber/asterisk machine
[09:05] <Stormx2> kothz: guinness! guinness!!
[09:05] <BullUK> just incase this means something to you anyway. If I do a dmsg I get:
[09:05] <alex_ubuntu> why does my Ubuntu 606 server not show up in my routers DHCP table
[09:05] <Stormx2> alex_ubuntu: Its not connecting via DHCP?
[09:06] <BullUK> [17190729.748000]  usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
[09:06] <kothz> Could it be answering it's own DHCP request? :)
[09:06] <alex_ubuntu> It appears toa be functioning but when i go into the clients list on the router... no server
[09:06] <oskude> alex_ubuntu: does the server use dhcp on that router ?
[09:06] <BullUK> so its connecting and been seen, but if I run a "diff" over the /dev directory nothing changes so it isn't mounting
[09:06] <alex_ubuntu> I have been trying to figure that out
[09:06] <lnx^> hiya, I'm playing with tc & wondershaper to limit my bandwidth
[09:07] <kitche> alex_ubuntu: my linux never shows up on my router's DHCP but it works
[09:07] <howieson26> ich weis aber ich komme auf den server nicht drauf
[09:07] <lnx^> it works fine, but I'd like to limit it that way that it doesn't affect my home network (<IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:07] <lnx^> how'd I specify that 'exception' to tc/wondershaper?
[09:07] <alex_ubuntu> well mine won't let me in the SAMBA share
[09:07] <lnx^> the current command seems to be: tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1: protocol ip prio 18 u32 match ip dst <IP_ADDRESS>/0 flowid 1:20
[09:07] <howieson26> kann jemand nicht sagen ob es irgendwo ein men gibt wo ich denn inhalt der diskette abrufen kann?
[09:07] <lnx^> so, is there any way to change that dst <IP_ADDRESS>/0 so that it matches everything BUT my local network?

[09:10] <kitche> alex_ubuntu: well samba has it's own users if you didn't set one up then you can't log in
[09:11] <alex_ubuntu> I am sure I did that, does the SMB.conf shopw those
[09:11] <highneko> Is it possible to stop programs from being highlighted when they're active or something? Here's a screenshot: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/numbers6554/Screenshot5.png

[09:23] <oskude> meheren: it seems no one bothered to do a ubuntu package from this plugin http://www.68k.org/~michael/xmms/
[09:23] <BullUK> after connecting a USB device and running dmesg at the terminal I get this "usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4". Am I right in thinking ubuntu is fully connected at this point?
[09:23] <meheren> ah
[09:23] <got_root> and how will I overcome this then? --> mkdir: cannot create directory `hda': Permission denied
[09:23] <kitche> kazim59: yes you need a higher verison then 2.3.6 which ubuntu uses
[09:23] <muthu> how do i mount a linux lvm (centos) filesystem from ubuntu?
[09:23] <Tonren> Hey guys, I'm getting garbled images in FireFox.  How do I stop it from happening?
[09:23] <silox> where is the inittab file in Ubuntu 6.10???
[09:23] <kitche> BullUK: well it sees the device and is connected doesn't mean that there is a mountpoint for it
[09:23] <Kuto2> hey
[09:23] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here use libmtp?
[09:23] <kazim59> kitche: so i cant install it? plz take a look here http://www.swapdepths.nl/2006/06/
[09:23] <Tonren> silox: "locate inittab"
[09:23] <IcemanV9> kaur: sudo lshw works for me .. not dmesg. is it your box a laptop or desktop?
[09:23] <kaur> IcemanV9: laptop
[09:23] <BullUK> there deffinately isn't but at least if I know the first bit is working I can start googling the mount point issue :-)
[09:23] <cpk2> got_root: where are you trying to make the dir?
[09:23] <kaur> IcemanV9: otherwise i'd open it...
[09:23] <kitche> kazim59: you can't install it unless you get a newer version of libc6
[09:24] <SoH|Tony> its impossible that ubuntu cant be uninstalled!
[09:24] <IcemanV9> kaur: hm. if lshw does not say anything, then you may go to their website for the product specf page.
[09:24] <kazim59> kitche: apt-get install libc6 says libc6 is in the newest version.
[09:24] <silox> Tonren: it only finds a sample /usr/share/gnome/help/desktopguide/sample/inittab_disablectrlaltdelconsole
[09:24] <got_root> cpk2: inside /mnt
[09:25] <Tonren> silox: hmm.....
[09:25] <kitche> SoH|Tony: only way to uninstall ubuntu is to install something over it or format the partitions it's on
[09:25] <cpk2> got_root: no sudo?
[09:25] <oskude> SoH|Tony: can you uninstall a running windows with itself ?
[09:25] <SoH|Tony> damn
[09:25] <kitche> kazim59: yeah the newer version you have to compile or maybe edgy has it but that might break your dapper
[09:25] <oskude> SoH|Tony: you got ideas... :/
[09:25] <cpk2> you certainly need root to do stuff in /mnt
[09:26] <ucordes> how can i get my mmc flashdisk to be read/write. when i type mount, i get : /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/mmcdisk type vfat (rw,utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
[09:26] <kaur> IcemanV9: u mean the website of the firm who sold the box?
[09:26] <SoH|Tony> my laptop doesnt recognize the network cable its connected to. what can i do?
[09:26] <got_root> cpk2: worked! thanks
[09:26] <muthu> how to access a lvm from ubuntu?
[09:26] <Hattori> why wireless network is set to eth1 and not on wlan0?
[09:26] <BullUK> tony, have you tried connecting that cable to the PC your currently using, that way ypu'll know if the cable is good or not
[09:26] <osman> #xgl
[09:26] <oskude> SoH|Tony: regonize network cable ?
[09:27] <SoH|Tony> ok ill do that BullUK
[09:27] <IcemanV9> kaur: yes. ie lenovo for ibm thinkpads, dell for latitudes
[09:27] <kitche> Hattori: you can call it wlan0 with a udev rule
[09:27] <ucordes> SoH|Tony: "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" that's what i do in such a case
[09:27] <silox> it says /etc/inittab in the sample file but there is no inittab file in /etc :/
[09:27] <BullUK> ucordes... hes in windows
[09:27] <ucordes> lol
[09:27] <SoH|Tony> ok
[09:27] <ucordes> anybody knows something? do i have to change my fstab?
[09:27] <IcemanV9> kaur: otherwise, lshw provides info
[09:27] <SoH|Tony> neither windows nor linux recognizes it
[09:27] <SoH|Tony> ill try it, urco
[09:27] <SoH|Tony> ucordes
[09:28] <kaur> IcemanV9: it's quite an unknown and little firm compared to IBM and AFAIK they do not specify the motherboard
[09:28] <ucordes> i don't think it will help when you have the same problem in other OSs too
[09:28] <Hattori> kitche: how to do that?
[09:28] <BullUK> well if youve got 2 pcs that dont get insertion its a pretty safe bet either the cable, or the router is at fault
[09:28] <ucordes> but you can try. this shuts down your network interface and loads it again..
[09:28] <got_root> cpk2: usind a sudo su -
[09:28] <oskude> silox: i got /etc/inittab
[09:28] <got_root> cpk2: will do fine

[09:29] <oskude> silox: have you deleted the file ? do you have ubuntu dapper ?
[09:29] <cpk2> got_root: you can just sudo mkdir

[09:29] <SoH|Tony> BullUK the cable works. im using it now as we speak
[09:30] <SoH|Tony> didnt have time for a mirc timeout thats why i didnt disconnect
[09:30] <silox> oksude yes i think so but i run the 6.10 Beta version
[09:30] <mwylegly_> Hmm, I have a bit of a problem, I've been running ubuntu and windows on my laptop fine for a couple months now, I did an update today and it seems that ubuntu has overwritten my windows bootload option in grub. Any ideas?

[09:30] <AngryElf> hey all -- how do i stop a cron job from generating an email?
[09:30] <oskude> silox: ok, thats edgy, not dapper. edgy read !edgy

[09:31] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ Please see #ubuntu-xgl for help with beryl. Thank You.
[09:31] <SoH|Tony> ill format it completely and reinstall windows
[09:31] <oskude> nice, a timeout on the bot :)
[09:31] <muthu> is it possible to mount linux lvm in ubuntu?
[09:32] <BullUK> just a thought although its a long shot
[09:32] <BullUK> are you running a switch or a router?
[09:32] <Xi_> hmm
[09:33] <KEA0463> hello ubuntu family
[09:33] <osman> is there a edgy channel?
[09:33] <kitche> IcemanV9: beryl is the community version of compiz and it seems better

[09:33] <osman> cheers
[09:33] <osman> #edgy

[09:33] <oskude> osman: its: /j #edgy
[09:33] <BullUK> I've got a USB device that isnt creating a mount point. Can anyone offer me a starting point so that I can do some research on the topic
[09:34] <osman> its eempty oskude
[09:34] <KEA0463> whats the best video player for ubuntu
[09:34] <str47> good
[09:34] <lg8> unsure
[09:34] <IcemanV9> kitche: ok. thks for info.
[09:34] <_halo`> not sure
[09:34] <osman> BullUK, have u created an entry dfor it in /etc/fstab????
[09:34] <stebeg> kea0463: mplayer
[09:34] <kitche> IcemanV9: I like aiglx it's less of a hog in my opinion
[09:34] <mabus> Can I use a modified environment variable when calling a command (like say from a shell script run by crontab) without having it change that variable for other use? ie like, in one command call a program and have it use a different term var
[09:34] <KEA0463>  o ok
[09:34] <ucordes> does anyone have a SD CARD connected to his ubuntu box and can give me the according entry from fstab?
[09:34] <KEA0463>  do i just apt-get Mplayer
[09:34] <oskude> osman: look what ubotu send you, theres the channel... i was just repeating you
[09:34] <KEA0463> or do i need more stuff
[09:35] <bilss_> hi
[09:35] <BullUK> osman...I was under the impression I wouldnt need to. If I connect a USB flash drive the mount point is auto created
[09:35] <osman> thanx oskude
[09:35] <cpk2> KEA0463: you might need the proper codecs to play certain formats
[09:35] <kazim59> Utunbu
[09:35] <KEA0463> ok i got all the codecs
[09:35] <osman> BullUK, not really, make any entry in fstab then it will auto mount

[09:36] <KEA0463> best

[09:36] <mabus> DethKlok: ethereal?
[09:36] <gabriel> hello

[09:36] <silox>  oskude: /etc/default/console-setup is it this file i chould edit?
[09:36] <KEA0463> o yeah i cant play .wav files
[09:36] <BullUK> maybe I should clarify, the device is a mobile phone which doesnt emulate a disk so I'm not sure if I'd be creating myself a bigger problem by doing that?
[09:36] <kaur> IcemanV9: sry, it doesn't say unknown
[09:36] <KEA0463> only .mpg
[09:36] <nexeus> vcl player less resource hungry
[09:36] <kitche> mabus: ethereal doesn't exist anymore just so you know it's called wireshark now
[09:36] <oskude> silox: i have no idea...
[09:36] <KEA0463> and sometimes when i click on a picture it says
[09:36] <mabus> Xi_: well I'm not quite sure, but there's a frequently referred to page about it
[09:36] <KEA0463> -no picture-
[09:37] <silox> oskude ok
[09:37] <kaur> IcemanV9: but AFAIK as i know it says the vendr of BIOS
[09:37] <DethKlok> kitche: when did they rename it?
[09:37] <mabus> kitche: actually it more or less forked, there's still an etheral web site and developpment
[09:37] <BullUK> xi..... this happend to me a few days ago, let me dig out the link in the forums that helped me, brb
[09:37] <kaur> IcemanV9: not motherboards vendor
[09:37] <kitche> BullUK: you need special software to access a phone
[09:37] <bilss_> how to open gnome-terminal get this error  gnomeerminal 7152) Gtk warning cannot open display-t
[09:37] <ijii> i'm baaaaaack, i have a problem: what's the easy program to get to allow me to boot into ubuntu?
[09:37] <phaedrus44> ello...how do i create a disk partition that can be read by windows?
[09:37] <mabus> bilss_: trying to open a gui program as root (sudo)?
[09:37] <ucordes> !sdcard
[09:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:38] <mabus> bilss_: or from your terminal
[09:38] <ladydoor> mabus: use gksudo
[09:38] <BullUK> kitche, you may be right but the reading I've done on synce suggest that my mobile should be supported by it.......
[09:38] <got_root> phaedrus44, create a fat32 partition
[09:38] <mabus> bilss_: ie: tty1
[09:38] <mabus> ladydoor: I'm not the one with the problem.
[09:38] <phaedrus44> got_root  with fdisk?
[09:38] <kitche> BullUK: I don't know much about sync besides the phones that I know about
[09:38] <got_root> try gparted
[09:38] <bilss_> mabus: yes
[09:38] <ladydoor> mabus: oh yeah...lol. sorry
[09:38] <IcemanV9> kaur: ha. weird. motherboard is right under *-core, then *-firmware is next (BIOS)
[09:38] <nexeus> phaedrus44, cfdisk is quite good
[09:38] <BullUK> no worries, Ill just have to keep reading
[09:39] <mabus> bilss_: you can't open up guis from tty1, and to open a gui as root in gnome use gksudo instead of sudo
[09:39] <fre4k> anyone have any idea about siocaddrt:network is unreachable
[09:39] <kaur> IcemanV9: core's physical id:0
[09:39] <SoH|Tony> kitche: OK now ill try formatting both linux partitions, merging them then using fixmbr to boot windows. good idea?
[09:39] <phaedrus44> hhmmm...i keep doing that and then when i reboot and mount   "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1"  it asks for filesystem type
[09:39] <Virogenesis> Does anyone have any experience with brctl ?
[09:40] <BullUK> xi   .....   http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271335&highlight=grub  take it from point 4 and substitute "nano" for "gedit" if your using ubuntu

[09:41] <ijii> is there an easier program than LILO to load Windows or Ubuntu?
[09:41] <bilss_> mabus (useing x-win32 from windowsmachine to linux box) yes thats what i get in putty but x-win32 does connect but cannot open display gives no error message
[09:41] <kmaynard> grub

[09:41] <Dr_willis> easier? Hmm Lilo is fairly easy.. but limited
[09:41] <kmaynard> ijii, grub
[09:42] <ucordes> Virogenesis: do you use madwifi-ng?
[09:42] <kaur> IcemanV9: i don't have these sections
[09:42] <synjet> hi gabriel
[09:42] <KEA0463> geuss what
[09:42] <Dr_willis> GRUB is the next higher up on the  bootloader chain. :)
[09:42] <SoH|Tony> kitche: ok
[09:42] <KEA0463> when i tried to install ubuntu
[09:42] <KEA0463> it said cant install because of partitioning
[09:42] <mabus> bilss_: you don't just call the guis from the terminal putty gives you, you have to have an xsession forwarded. beyond my scope
[09:42] <KEA0463> it took me 8 hours to figure it out
[09:42] <Dr_willis> KEA0463,  got 1 hard drive?
[09:43] <KEA0463> then it said cant install base system
[09:43] <gabriel> i am a newbie and i have a problem when i want to see the network servers...  it says: "network:///" is not a valid location.
[09:43] <IcemanV9> kaur: well. that's too bad. :(

[09:43] <kaur> IcemanV9: actually, i wanted to flash bios because the fan of my laptop never completely stop...
[09:44] <kaur> IcemanV9: but now i have a feeling that the fan has to work
[09:44] <KEA0463> this is the best working version of linux i tried
[09:44] <kitche> kaur: that has to do with the kernel not the bios
[09:44] <KEA0463> i tried gentoo
[09:44] <gabriel> anybody can help me please?
[09:44] <KEA0463> but it said it didnt ahve wireless support
[09:44] <KEA0463> so i installed ubuntu
[09:44] <kitche> KEA0463: it does if you want to install it :)
[09:44] <KEA0463> really
[09:45] <KEA0463> how?
[09:45] <kaur> kitche: what kernel should i use then? Dual core must work
[09:45] <segfault> kaur, for dual core use 686 kernel

[09:45] <Hattori> who have any clue?
[09:45] <kitche> kaur: the kernel your on now but the fan not stopping has to do with the kernel settings
[09:45] <KEA0463> i checked it said gentoo currently doesnt have wireless support
[09:45] <Xi_> after putting in gedit -w/boot/grub/grub.conf I get a error that reads unknown option
[09:46] <kitche> KEA0463: it doesn't have wireless support by default you have to install everything from scratch
[09:46] <IcemanV9> kaur: there is a reason why i keep winxp to flash bios. like segfault said, use kernel-686 for dual core
[09:46] <ucordes> i really despare on this. can't anyone help? i can't get r/w rights for me sd card. not with usb card reader nor with integrated card reader

[09:47] <Sasuk3> You can use anjuta
[09:47] <Sasuk3> gcc in console
[09:47] <BullUK> ah ha! cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows a device with a manufacturer of "HTC" ie my phone........
[09:47] <KEA0463> seems like each task takes me hours to complete
[09:47] <Sasuk3> or geany .. eclipse with plugins
[09:47] <kmaynard> like, with your network and all, not just the net?
[09:47] <segfault> kaur, u asked what kernel for dual core i answered, fan is an acpi issue i think
[09:47] <gabriel> yes kmaynard
[09:47] <Sasuk3> KEA0463
[09:47] <Xi_> still  getting the same effect with menu.lst
[09:47] <Dr_willis> it pays to read. :P

[09:48] <Dr_willis> tldp.org guides are a good starting point.
[09:48] <KEA0463> i must be a slow learner

[09:54] <KEA0463> i did

[09:55] <willys_fueguino> I need to know if its possible to install a game from a live dvd distro to ubuntu and if it wil work later when running ubuntu...
[09:55] <kitche> Xi_: whya re you doing sudo bash?

[09:55] <czer323> mirak> the nvidia drivers are still beta from what i understood.
[09:56] <ithiel> hmm
[09:56] <Gizmo_the_Great1> how do I access a shared folder on Box1 from my Laptop, Box2?
[09:56] <Stormx2> Xi_: mount /boot? Usually you'd do something like mount /dev/hda5 /boot
[09:56] <KEA0463> does ubuntu have the biggest support base
[09:56] <kitche> !samba > Gizmo_the_Great1
[09:56] <TheGateKeeper> Gizmo_the_Great1: if both are linux nfs
[09:56] <Stormx2> KEA0463: out of what?
[09:56] <KEA0463> for a linux distro
[09:56] <ithiel> dyn-afk: are you a BSD supporter?
[09:57] <Stormx2> KEA0463: I suppose so.
[09:57] <Stormx2> KEA0463: For desktop linux, yes.
[09:57] <KEA0463> k
[09:57] <kitche> KEA0463: no Gentoo has the biggest support but then again they hate rest of the distros
[09:57] <KEA0463> thats good
[09:57] <Gizmo_the_Great1> TheGateKeeper: Both Ubuntu LTS
[09:57] <dyn-afk> ithiel: yup
[09:57] <Stormx2> gentoo has a support base?
[09:57] <dyn-afk> why?
[09:57] <Stormx2> do you mean the elite club? XD
[09:57] <TheGateKeeper> Gizmo_the_Great1: use nfs then
[09:57] <ithiel> dyn-afk: FreeBSD? (That would be my preference if I used BSD)
[09:57] <Xi_> all I know is that procedure on the link doesn't work, neither does taking the procedure from step 4
[09:57] <nexeus> I new to linux so far i found ubuntu easiest to understand
[09:57] <TheGateKeeper> !nfs
[09:57] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[09:57] <ithiel> dyn-afk: curiousity.
[09:57] <KEA0463> oh so ubuntu us best for new linux users
[09:57] <nexeus> currently trying suse
[09:57] <Gizmo_the_Great1> TheGateKeeper: use nfs? how? where do I find that?
[09:58] <TheGateKeeper> !nfs > Gizmo_the_Great1
[09:58] <KEA0463> but gentoo is for advanced users
[09:58] <kitche> NFS is very insecure just so you know Gizmo_the_Great1
[09:58] <dyn-afk> FreeBSD is nice
[09:58] <Stormx2> KEA0463: Not necesserily. Some linux distros are meant for people switching from windows with little skill with computers.
[09:58] <dyn-afk> NetBSD is a bit more of a "challenge"
[09:58] <TheGateKeeper> Gizmo_the_Great1: read the ubotu pm or above ^^^
[09:58] <Gizmo_the_Great1> kitche: it's only in the home and the wireless is WPA encrypted anyway
[09:58] <dyn-afk> you need to do a lot of manual configuring
[09:58] <califfo> hi all, I'm compiling mplayerplug-in and while doing ./configure I get this error: checking for MOZPLUG... configure: WARNING: firefox-plugin not found ; can anyone help me, please?
[09:58] <Stormx2> KEA0463: ubuntu is in the middle. It can be very easy to use but you can do all sorts of complex stuff with it
[09:58] <dyn-afk> but I'd rather install ubuntu on my notebook
[09:59] <TheGateKeeper> right catch you latter folks
[09:59] <dyn-afk> and freebsd or debian on my servers
[09:59] <KEA0463> is gentoo hard to learn
[09:59] <remo287> hello room
[09:59] <KEA0463> or just different concepts
[09:59] <TheGateKeeper> KEA0463: Gizmo_the_Great1 good luck :-)
[09:59] <dyn-afk> I'd rather install bsd on a sun sparc machine instead of linux
[09:59] <ciango> hi
[09:59] <Asturio> Does anybody knows about udev and hal and dbus in Dapper?   The Links in /dev/?
[09:59] <Stormx2> KEA0463: Put it this way, you want have used linux for a little while before you try gentoo. Its an awful lot of compiling and customization
[09:59] <mabus> So can somebody tell me how to set my TERM to xterm-256color when calling elinks, preferably as an alias in my profile?
[09:59] <ithiel> dyn-afk: heh, netbsd is for when you have that toaster that MUST run Unix.
[09:59] <dyn-afk> but I think I'm going to test how ubuntu is doing on a sun blade 100 (sparc64 architecture)
[09:59] <Asturio> Hello There---
[09:59] <Stormx2> hi remo287
[09:59] <kitche> KEA0463: gentoo is harder then most distros but then again LFS is harder
[09:59] <ciango> i have a little problem with my alsa ... (i think that is)
[09:59] <remo287> hi stormx
[10:00] <ithiel> dyn-afk: for a server, I like debian/gentoo (for certain circumstances)/FreeBSD
[10:00] <dyn-afk> openbsd is btw the OS to go for a sun sparcstation 4 or 5
[10:00] <ciango> when i run mplayer, console:
[10:00] <KEA0463> how will i know when i am ready for gentoo
[10:00] <ciango> mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:00] <kitche> !offtopic
[10:00] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:00] <KEA0463> 3 years?
[10:00] <remo287> storm r u ther
[10:01] <Stormx2> ciango: Did you compile it?
[10:01] <ChaosFan> KEA0463: you're never "ready" for gentoo. try it or leave it.
[10:01] <Hattori> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272032 <--- anybody has any idea how to fix that??
[10:01] <Stormx2> remo287: Yeah I am, whats the problem?
[10:01] <ithiel> ChaosFan: both? lol :P
[10:01] <ciango> no i download mplayer deb
[10:01] <ciango> form synaptic
[10:01] <KEA0463> ok i left it cause i couldnt get a internet connection
[10:01] <czer323> KEA0463, Gentoo is just a huge learning experience.  If you want to learn a ton of useless computer stuff, then try gentoo. ;)
[10:01] <KEA0463> with ubuntu i could
[10:01] <Xi_> hmmm
[10:01] <remo287> myne is not a problem storm
[10:01] <ciango> before this error mplayer is good
[10:02] <remo287> does linux have viruses
[10:02] <Gizmo_the_Great1> how do I tell if Samba is installed?
[10:02] <ithiel> a ton of useless computer stuff...gentoo...yeah...sounds about right. You also forgot that it qualifies you as a master of the art of "Computer Ricing"
[10:02] <Stormx2> remo287: Technically, no.
[10:02] <KEA0463> so gentoo is for people who like to work alot
[10:02] <remo287> storms u might think tht myne is a silly question
[10:02] <ciango> who is ready to help me?
[10:02] <KEA0463> and get headaches
[10:02] <Stormx2> remo287: Theres proof-of-concepts around, but people don't write linux viruses really....
[10:02] <califfo> hi all, I'm compiling mplayerplug-in and while doing ./configure I get this error: checking for MOZPLUG... configure: WARNING: firefox-plugin not found ; can anyone help me, please?
 how do I tell if Samba is installed? << start synaptic and search for it, it'll tell you if it's installed or not :)
[10:02] <remo287> why storm
[10:02] <IcemanV9> remo287: <knock on wood> so far no viruses for linux
[10:02] <SportChick> in 18
[10:02] <Chozabu> hey yall, ive got a prob i really cant fix - if anyone could help it would be amazing!
[10:03] <czer323> KEA0463, don't get me wrong.  it's an excellent distro.  It's just had  a track record of being extremely hard to install.   because you have to KNOW everything, in order to tell it to install.
[10:03] <ajax4_> !edgy
[10:03] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[10:03] <Stormx2> remo287: Because sensible linux users don't run as root, and windows users do.
[10:03] <ajax4_> !schedule
 does linux have viruses << not at the moment
[10:03] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[10:03] <remo287> yaa but viruses r just programs arent they
[10:03] <ithiel> why write virii/worms for Linux? it's pointless. it is like making a bomb that only hurts african pygmies.
[10:03] <Chozabu> ive been at uni for a lil over a week - windows works fine on the network, but ubuntu does not get an IP
[10:03] <ithiel> who happen to know how to hide from radiation.
[10:03] <KEA0463> yeah i onlu used the gentoo live-cd
[10:03] <dyn-afk> most linux virusses are very simple, they are just scripts you have to allow to run
[10:03] <ithiel> dyn-afk: *cough* typically under root.
[10:03] <dyn-afk> and they can only affect the user environment of the user that is running them
[10:03] <KEA0463> linux users write viruses for windows?
[10:04] <Stormx2> remo287: Yes, but they need privilages to do any harm. And plus, virus writers attack the easiest and by far the biggest target - windows users
[10:04] <willys_fueguino> I need to know if its possible to install a game from a live dvd distro to ubuntu and if it wil work later when running ubuntu...
[10:04] <willys_fueguino> I need to know if its possible to install a game from a live dvd distro to ubuntu and if it wil work later when running ubuntu...
[10:04] <Chozabu> if i try running 'sudo dhclient' after a few attempts it gets 'No DHCPOFFERS received.'
[10:04] <Juhaz> Stormx2, sensible windows users don't run as root either. there just aren't many of those
[10:04] <remo287> yaa storm i read tht article which is on the simmilar basis
[10:04] <dyn-afk> KEA0463: windows is more like a virus >:P
[10:04] <ithiel> dyn-afk: but that would lead to the reasoning of why Ubuntu doesn't really allow root.
[10:04] <Stormx2> Juhaz: Exactly.
[10:04] <Xi_> k so I'm in menu.lst, now what should I do?
[10:04] <Stormx2> willys_fueguino: Why do that?
[10:04] <ithiel> Juhaz: Windows has root? Color me surprised :)
[10:04] <dyn-afk> ithiel no that's not really the reason
[10:04] <kmaynard> willys_fueguino, what game? is it in the dapper repositories?
[10:04] <KEA0463> i gotta install wine
[10:04] <czer323> Juhaz> all windows is ran as "root"  Can you delete soemthing from the system32 file? yes.
[10:04] <ithiel> dyn-afk: that and shootus selfus in the footus.
[10:04] <Stormx2> ithiel: Well, it has admin.
[10:04] <KEA0463> i havnt been able to figure out how to use wine yet
[10:05] <ithiel> Administrator. yay.
[10:05] <KEA0463> to big of a learning curve
[10:05] <Stormx2> KEA0463: its a bit tricky...
[10:05] <dyn-afk> one should always run as a user and do only root stuff when necessary
[10:05] <smax> hi guys
[10:05] <nexeus> !wine
[10:05] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:05] <Juhaz> ithiel, no, but it has "administrator"
[10:05] <czer323> !sudo
[10:05] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:05] <ithiel> indee.d
[10:05] <AmukaNuk> Hello. I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer. It's supposed to be a multiboot with Win XP. But when i enter grub after installation it won't run any of my partitions. What am I doing wrong?
[10:05] <ithiel> hmm.
[10:05] <kitche> KEA0463: to run wine you open up a terminal and do wine <program>
[10:05] <dyn-afk> if you use su that means you start an entire session as root
[10:05] <willys_fueguino> kmaynard, yeap. But my internet conection is so slow that I had to get them on a dvd
[10:05] <smax> i installed build-essential and libglib2.0  and the make utility still says glib.h  does not exist
[10:05] <dyn-afk> it has a disadvantage and an advantage over using sudo though
[10:05] <Stormx2> KEA0463: Half the problems people have with wine is because they aren't calling it correctly...
[10:05] <remo287> thanks stormx2 for clarifying my doubt
[10:05] <kitche> AmukaNuk: your menu.lst is mostly setup wrong
[10:05] <kmaynard> willys_fueguino, what game?
[10:06] <dyn-afk> with sudo you can specify what can be run with root rights and such :)
[10:06] <remo287> so u say tht we can expect viruses in future
[10:06] <czer323> sudo -s will get you to root as well.
[10:06] <AmukaNuk> kitche: k, would you happen to know a good tutorial/faq for setting it up?
[10:06] <samot> anyone can give me a descent settings-file for beryl so that I won't have to find everything myself?
[10:06] <dyn-afk> but the problem with sudo: it uses the same password as the ordinary user account
[10:06] <kitche> !grub
[10:06] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:06] <kitche> AmukaNuk: there you go
[10:06] <willys_fueguino> kmaynard, enemy territory, torcs, vdrift, counter strike source etc,etc,etc.....
[10:06] <KEA0463> ok so i just alt-F2 type in wine
[10:06] <remo287> yes dyn-afk u r right i too have the same doubt
[10:06] <Stormx2> remo287: Theres an excellent article on it. I can't remember where it is though. Trust me though, people don't write viruses for linux. Its too difficult and it doens't make ANY sense to do so.
[10:06] <dyn-afk> if one hacks a useraccount with admin rights in UBuntu you can do the same things as root
[10:06] <KEA0463> then enter wine (program)
[10:07] <czer323> dyn-afk, That's a good thing for ubuntu.  Ubutnu DISABLE root account by default.
[10:07] <kmaynard> willys_fueguino, search the dvd for debs
[10:07] <Stormx2> dyn-afk: But getting the user account password is difficult.
[10:07] <czer323> dyn-afk, So, you'd have to go in and enable it BEFORE you start using su.
[10:07] <remo287> i mean both user and sudo can have same password
[10:07] <timruff> bonjour tous le monde
[10:07] <kitche> Stormx2: umm it's very easy to get a user account password
[10:07] <scheuri> czer323: is it disabled? or has it just a password which is not mentioned anywhere?
[10:07] <willys_fueguino> kmaynard, I have a dvd with all that games, but they're in a bootable image...
[10:07] <scheuri> czer323: root cant just be disabled...
[10:07] <dyn-afk> root isn't really disabled
[10:07] <czer323> scheuri, disabled.
[10:07] <timruff> oup sorry
[10:07] <foo> Hm, ok, I installed gnome-cups-manager ... and I am trying to add the network printer, but I don't see the hp officejet driver. I installed hpoj ...restarted cups, and restarted the cups manager ... still don't see the drive. What do I need to install?  Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:07] <willys_fueguino> kmaynard, its a live dvd distro
[10:07] <dyn-afk> root isn't used
[10:08] <SiliconViper> Yay for segmentation faults when loading Firefox!
[10:08] <dyn-afk> with sudo passwd you can set a password for root and use the root account again
[10:08] <root> dyn-afk: me?
[10:08] <willys_fueguino> sudo = super user do
[10:08] <knixtech> SiliconViper, horrrrray

[10:08] <winterweaver> Hey Hey..... could anyone assist a linux newb, plz?? (with my Nvidia drivers
[10:08] <scheuri> czer323: root is installed and working...BUT...it has a selfgenerated password which is NOT told to you
[10:08] <dyn-afk> and abused mr root :P
[10:08] <SiliconViper> winterweaver, sure.
[10:08] <root> dyn-afk: nah
[10:08] <kmaynard> willys_fueguino, put the cd in the tray and start digging thru it
[10:08] <dyn-afk> yup scheuri
[10:08] <remo287> well how to enter irc chat and create a user name???
[10:08] <remo287> well now i m using it frm gaim
[10:08] <Stormx2> kitche: It isn't easy at all. Remember when they realised the pass was in the installation logs? That was fixed within an hour. They're not gonna sit around for 6 months with a gaping security hole are they, unless you've found one and not reported it.
[10:09] <kmaynard> search it for debs
[10:09] <winterweaver> SiliconViper, thx, as I understand, I have to install Nvidia-glx and Nvidia-xconfig... right?
[10:09] <Stormx2> remo287: Best install xchat
[10:09] <SiliconViper> winterweaver, yep!
[10:09] <Stormx2> remo287: But otherwise use /nick WOWISUCK
[10:09] <willys_fueguino> kmaynard, if I install the games in that live-dvd distro to my ubuntu, They'll run in ubuntu??
[10:09] <czer323> scheuri, at least it's randomly generated then.  but all the same.  if someone goes to try to su root, they needt o have set the password first.  sudo -s is the same thing, with less effort.
[10:09] <knixtech> any one use smoothwall?
