[21:30] <Deusdies> saminthemiddle, that means that there is solution, right? :S
[21:30] <gullstad> Hello. I was wondering how I can connect to a samba fileserver whit ubuntu?
[21:30] <Buggeredfstab> rpj8: you'll need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:31] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, no, I'm saying that support for TV cards is weak at best
[21:31] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, are you sure that it is a supported model? what is the chipset?
[21:31] <musikgoat> nikrud: didn't you make op?  do you know where i send an email for a problem on the ubuntu.com site?
[21:31] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: uh..
[21:31] <Deusdies> saminthemiddle, but it used to work! Chipset is SAA7131
[21:31] <Deusdies> Philips
[21:31] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: No. See, it's trying to use a different version of the nvidia kernel driver.
[21:31] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, hmm, have you tried to manually modprobe the modules?
[21:31] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: I want to remove the newer version's nvidia module from my kernel and replace it with the older version
[21:32] <nikrud> musikgoat what problem?
[21:32] <spunk_loaf> noob here--how do I add a line to my /etc/apt/sources list?
[21:32] <nikrud> musikgoat and mini-op , by the way.
[21:32] <musikgoat> nikrud: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown
[21:32] <Deusdies> saminthemiddle, yes. I've tried modprobe saa7134 card=65 tuner=54, no success
[21:32] <Buggeredfstab> rpj8: yeah. likely still looking for the driver named Nvidia - you want to roll it back to Nv
[21:32] <musikgoat> nikrud: well thats good in and of itself
[21:32] <[BT]JaC> ok thank you for all your help saminthemiddle and musikgoat and anyone else that helped.
[21:32] <Chris_____> How can I install without my installer dropping me into BusyBox?
[21:32] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: No no, the nv is the open source one. I still want to use the proprietary nvidia drivers. but I DON'T want to use the new ones that I installed from the nvidia main site.
[21:33] <saminthemiddle> [BT]JaC, you're welcome
[21:33] <Chris_____> I've tried noapic, and linux acpi=off...
[21:33] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: In other words, I want to roll back to a previous version
[21:33] <nikrud> musikgoat click on contact us at the bottom of the page
[21:33] <Deusdies> saminthemiddle, the problem is that LSPCI does NOT list my card...
[21:33] <Deusdies> But it used to, a while ago. Then I was away and haven't been using PC for a month
[21:33] <musikgoat> nikrud: i sent an email to the webmaster,  but never got a response... this was like 5 days ago... oh well
[21:33] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, ooh, that's interesting
[21:33] <Arrick> anyone here know what it is that I have to put at the end of grub for video to allow me to actually install ubuntu server on a Virtual pc VM?
[21:33] <Deusdies> Yup :S
[21:33] <Buggeredfstab> rpj8: ah well, your best bet would be to roll it to Nv, uninstall the current Nvidia, then install the preferred one.
[21:34] <mebaran151> I'm doing a lot of python dev now
[21:34] <Arrick> nvmnd, got it
[21:34] <mebaran151> and I was wondering what you guys would recc for a good python ide
[21:34] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: Yeah I did actually try that, but that didn't work. I asked in #nvidia and they gave me an answer: nvidia-installer --uninstall
[21:34] <nikrud> musikgoat heh. Not sure otherwise. Maybe when you see mneptok ask him
[21:34] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, because LSPCI should show ALL PCI cards whether or not they are supported
[21:34] <mebaran151> gedit is a little bit basic
[21:34] <rpj8> Buggeredfstab: Thanks for the help, mate.
[21:34] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, maybe you have a dead card, sometimes they break
[21:34] <musikgoat> nikrud: ok, thanks
[21:34] <Chris_____> Why does my Gusty install drop me into Gusty?
[21:35] <Deusdies> No, it might be because I've changed a PCI slot a minute ago...I'll switch back to the old one now
[21:35] <Chris_____> BusyBox**
[21:35] <saminthemiddle> Chris_____ because it's a Gusty install?!!
[21:35] <musikgoat> ls
[21:35] <musikgoat> lol
[21:35] <Deusdies> bbl
[21:35] <Chris_____> Sam: I meant BusyBox...
[21:35] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: k its on
[21:35] <spunk_loaf> can somebody tell me how to add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list?
[21:35] <xfreakk> how do i install Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 7.10
[21:35] <odysseybmx> how do I reconfigure xorg.conf from the command line?
[21:35] <odysseybmx> I'm in recovery mode
[21:36] <musikgoat> spunk_loaf: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:36] <spunk_loaf> musikgoat: thanks
[21:36] <ZiRo`osx> anyone familiar with svn hooks?
[21:36] <Deusdies> saminthemiddle, one Q: if I have SAA7131 Philips chipset, do I have to use BTTV or no?
[21:37] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: search through the file, and look to see what the driver name is
[21:37] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: k
[21:37] <cody-somerville> odysseybmx, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:37] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, sorry, I'm not familiar with the chipset
[21:37] <Deusdies> ok :)
[21:37] <propdude2000> hi
[21:37] <odysseybmx> crap I have another problem
[21:37] <microwaver> Hello, any wow players here?
[21:37] <saminthemiddle> Beusdies, but it won't hurt to try to modprobe it
[21:37] <LogicFrog> good moaning
[21:37] <odysseybmx> dpkg-reconfigure isn't working
[21:37] <odysseybmx> nor is apt-get
[21:38] <odysseybmx> it's telling me to use apt-get to install apt-get
[21:38] <odysseybmx> dammit
[21:38] <propdude2000> a lot of people here!
[21:38] <saminthemiddle> Duesdies, but if lspci doesn't pick it up, it's not bttv's fault!
[21:38] <Buggeredfstab> rpj8: sorry I couldn't be more help there.
[21:38] <saminthemiddle> Duesdies, anyway
[21:38] <Deusdies> Deusdies*
[21:38] <microwaver> propdude2000, anyone who can help me rig mine?
[21:38] <Deusdies> OK, I'll switch to the other PCI now...my PC is now open. Do I have to restart ubuntu in order to "refresh" lspci?
[21:38] <saminthemiddle> Duesdaies, I'm going to go to bed, all the scrolling text combined with the fact that it's late is making me sleepy
[21:38] <whileimhere> I have 1867 compressed .7z files that I need to recompress into .zip files. Is there an easy way to do this?
[21:39] <Deusdies> k k, thanks a lot mate!
[21:39] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, PCI cards are NOT hot-swappable
[21:39] <Deusdies> thx :)
[21:39] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, never remove those things with power on, you can seriously damage them
[21:39] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, no prob
[21:39] <propdude2000> whileimhere: you can write a shell script to uncompress them and then recompress them as .zip
[21:39] <Deusdies> I've switched off the circuit that leads to PCI cards...don't ask. xD
[21:39] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: "vesa" it says (generic video card).. i hope im doing well
[21:40] <propdude2000> gotta go
[21:40] <whileimhere> propdude2000 I am not that good.
[21:40] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, * unless you're ultra geeky and have figured out how to control power and signal to them with fancy BIOS and kernel stuff (I know some servers can hot-swap PCI cards, but your computer isn't one of them)
[21:40] <microwaver> If anyone can help me with WoW on ubuntu, hear me out :)
[21:41] <saminthemiddle> Deusdies, anyway, night
[21:41] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: hrm. Do you see anything that says Nv?
[21:41] <symptom> has OO.o been uploaded to hardy yet?
[21:42] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: searched for the phrase.. couldnt find it
[21:42] <odysseybmx> dammit the whole time I've used Ubuntu I've had nothing but problems

[21:48] <kindofabuzz> well then quit complaining and reinstall ubuntu, back your files to cd
[21:48] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: I'm looking through mine. This may take a moment
[21:48] <microwaver> jurgentje, under gnome (don't know out of my head) there is under applications > add/remove
[21:48] <microwaver> jurgentje, and it will apear in the list

[21:48] <josh> my mouse laggs sometimes like i have alot of cpu usage, but i dont' have any cpu usage, what could cause this?
[21:48] <kindofabuzz> dos prompt?
[21:48] <microwaver> jurgentje, or you can do apt-get remove <name> in terminal
[21:48] <yowshi> alt+ctrl+F1
[21:49] <kindofabuzz> there is no dos
[21:49] <kindofabuzz> dos is microsoft
[21:49] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: under Section "Device" what does it say for driver?
[21:49] <yowshi> kindofabuzz: i am not a moron i just dont conisder it a cli since it sint a terminal window
[21:49] <kindofabuzz> but it's not DOS
[21:49] <yowshi> dos prompt is what i grew up on though so i call it that
[21:49] <yowshi> I KNWO IT ISNT DOS
[21:49] <anakin_> can someone please help me to upgrade from gutsy to hardy heron?
[21:49] <kindofabuzz> DOS is a totally different operating system
[21:50] <jurgentje> microwaver: problem is... easyeclipse is an eclipse derivation... so I tried installing and removing eclipse... but easyeclipse is not in the list itself
[21:50] <yowshi> no fragging sh8943 kindofabuzz
[21:50] <morh> err... could anyone tell me what could be the problems source with Gutsy freezing before 1st launch (before installation, runned from original CD shipped) on a GA-K8NS-Pro, when mandriva07 and knoppix are starting without any problem?
[21:50] <kindofabuzz> fragging sh8943?
[21:50] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: device: - identifier = "generic video card", driver=" vesa", Busid= "PCI:0:18:0"
[21:50] <kindofabuzz> lol
[21:50] <gregory> anakin_: hardy is still beta. you really want to switch?
[21:50] <anakin_> gregory, i don't mind.
[21:50] <kindofabuzz> anyways, anyone know much about NFS?
[21:51] <microwaver> jurgentje, het gaat ook niet weg nadat je eclipse hebt gedeinstalleerd? heb je al een autoremove geprobeerd?
[21:51] <anakin_> whats the worst that can happen, right? :D
[21:51] <josh>  my mouse laggs sometimes like i have alot of cpu usage, but i dont' have any cpu usage, what could cause this?
[21:51] <EdwardXp3> whats the command to search for something specific using ls -l ?
[21:51] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: Ok. now, remember that command I told you to use to open the gedit window? Do it again, this time, have sudo in front of it
[21:51] <EdwardXp3> ls -l *alsa ??
[21:51] <jurgentje> microwaver: let's go pvt... (language in the channel)
[21:51] <clover2203> buggeredfstab: sure
[21:51] <kindofabuzz> do gksudo gedit
[21:51] <squarebracket> where do i configure my computer's hostname?
[21:52] <kindofabuzz> if it's graphical, you should use gksudo
[21:52] <gregory> anakin_: 1. backup your important files 2. sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (do not 2 before 1!)
[21:52] <Buggeredfstab> clover2203: now, go down, and replace "vesa" with "nv"

[21:57] <morh> lads, does anyone knows anything about Gutsy freezing probs during 1st run from original CD? searched google, searched ubuntu forums, bothered friends, found no answer to this one. hard: amd athlon 64 3000+ 2.01Ghz, 768 ram; Gutsy freezes on the last square of the progress bar and the pc freezes... however, knoppix and mandriva07 are installing without any problem...
[21:58] <odysseybmx> JohnMM: I'm only here because my system screwed up yet again
[21:58] <JohnMM> lol
[21:58] <tweakt> ive triple checked i have the right sources.list set up
[21:58] <deuryte> Starnestommy: thank you,
[21:58] <Buggeredfstab> morh: check the CD for defects
[21:58] <flavioribeiro> hi all, after make some wrong changes in modprobe, my usb audio doesnt works anymore...  there's my lsmod and lspci; http://pastebin.com/m2b60f3a6
[21:58] <tweakt> what's going on? any ideas?
[21:58] <dark_harmonics> marh did you try it with the nosplash option on the kernel parameters?
[21:58] <morh> Buggeredfstab - done it, no defects
[21:58] <gregory> morh: npapic nolapic acpi=off?
[21:58] <musikgoat> InGunsWeTrust: ok,  you'll find the network you want to remove here:  ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/
[21:59] <dark_harmonics> yea gregory has it
[21:59] <musikgoat> InGunsWeTrust: just remove the linksys directory
[21:59] <InGunsWeTrust> musikgoatL Thanks a lot!
[21:59] <Buggeredfstab> morh: hrm. 64-bit, eh? Doing this for a server, or desktop?
[21:59] <morh> gregory - i'm kinda noobish with linux, could You explain me how to do it ?
[21:59] <dark_harmonics> hit escape as it boots morh
[21:59] <dark_harmonics> to get to the grub menu
[21:59] <morh> Buggeredfstab - desktop
[21:59] <odysseybmx> how do I repair with a CD?
[21:59] <deuryte> Starnestommy: im outta here, thanks again, you guys r bug help
[21:59] <dark_harmonics> and add those parameters onto the string
[21:59] <gregory> morh: these are boot parameters for the installer that disable portions of hardware  which _tend_ to cause problems
[21:59] <dark_harmonics> its not as hard as it sounds actually
[22:00] <Buggeredfstab> morh: I got a 64bit chip, but I run 32bit. That works great for me. But, I'd still give what gregory is saying a shot
[22:00] <morh> gregory so, where to put them ?
[22:01] <gregory> morh: in the installer scrolldown menu go to the entry where you can add those parameters. in hardy its f6, but i dont know about gutsy. people in channel will correct me
[22:01] <morh> Buggeredfstab: i've tried both Gutsys: for 64 and for 32bit, the only strange thing is: mandriva and knoppix are installing without any problems
[22:01] <morh> gregory: thanks a million, lad
[22:01] <Buggeredfstab> morh: sometimes that happens
[22:02] <gregory> morh: just try, nothing can break, sucess _not_ granted ;-)
[22:02] <odysseybmx> can someone tell me how to repair my installation with the Live CD?
[22:02] <IronMarx> So I finished all the troubleshooting and I give up; I can't get any audio through my speakers when I run Linux.
[22:02] <morh> Buggeredfstab yeah, the SSDD rule, aight :> ?
[22:02] <Buggeredfstab> morh: with my rig, Fedora core 4 always went nutter on me
[22:02] <Buggeredfstab> morh: exactly :)
[22:02] <morh> gregory: of course, if that won't work i'll come back to bother You all again and again :]
[22:03] <gregory> morh: your very welcome
[22:03] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, did you make /home a seperate partion?
[22:03] <morh> k, gotta try it before i'll go to work... cheers lads, once again: thanks a million
[22:03] <odysseybmx> obiwannekody: what?
[22:03] <Buggeredfstab> How do I get access to the gui VPN setup?
[22:03] <odysseybmx> I have 1 partition
[22:03] <gregory> morh: noapic nolapic acpi=off (my last message had a typo)
[22:03] <morh> k, thanks
[22:03] <odysseybmx> I need to repair the installation
[22:04] <sap> Hi, is there a method to update some of my favourite applications automatically , instead of having to build from source each time a new version is released (for example Pidgin , openoffice etc). ?
[22:04] <JoCo> guys i just installed ubuntu but when i try and enable the gfx driver i click 'enable' then it says "The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled." my internet is connected and everything
[22:04] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: you need to enable the repository in Synaptic
[22:05] <nikrud> sap if you're dedicated to running the latest right after it's released, ubuntu is not the right distro for you
[22:05] <JoCo> Buggeredfstab: how would i go about that?
[22:05] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, if you have your /home directory on a different partion you can(if you are lazy like me) just do a clean install and re-use the /home directory
[22:05] <odysseybmx> it's on the same partition
[22:05] <yeonhoo_> on "displayconfig-gtk" menu there is 1280x800 monitor but there is not option for 1280x800. there are inferior resolution....
[22:05] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: fire up Synaptic Package Manager
[22:05] <odysseybmx> I know there's a way to repair the installation
[22:05] <odysseybmx> but how do I go about it?
[22:05] <renfrew> is anyone running heron alpha 6?
[22:06] <tsukasa__> renfrew, sup
[22:06] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: Then go to Settings -> Repositories
[22:06] <sap> nikrud, hmm... i've been using ubuntu only for many months now , but maybe not right after its realeased , say a few months after it is released
[22:06] <JoCo> Buggeredfstab: ok then what
[22:06] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, what is broken? (everything?)
[22:06] <renfrew> not having a problem as such.. just thinking of switching before the stable relaese.. are you running aplha 6?
[22:06] <gregory> renfrew: try #ubuntu+1 alpha is beta 1 now
[22:06] <odysseybmx> obiwannekody: X
[22:06] <JoCo> Buggeredfstab: check off all the boxes?
[22:06] <tsukasa__> renfrew, im running beta
[22:07] <tsukasa__> renfrew, it works fine on a direct installation, id hold off on wubi'ing it though
[22:07] <styrman> how do i turn off energy savings on monitor
[22:07] <renfrew> are you finding it prety stable?
[22:07] <styrman> i got laptop
[22:07] <tsukasa__> renfrew, yeah
[22:07] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: Make sure you have main, universe, restricted, and multiverse all checked
[22:07] <gregory> renfrew: _if_ hardware and ubuntu cooperate
[22:07] <Malik_> hey everybody
[22:07] <renfrew> I've got the standard dsktop install.. gonna give it a go... can I just do a dist-upgrade?
[22:08] <ed_ed> styrman: Right click on the battery icon, and go into preferences.
[22:08] <tsukasa__> renfrew, no, dont. if youve kept to convention just back up your home folder
[22:08] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: after that, it'll ask you to restart your Package Manager. Then, once you do that, you should be able to install
[22:08] <JoCo> Buggeredfstab: Thank you sooooooo much your a great help I really appreciate it!!!!!
[22:08] <sap> Isn't there a way I can add a line to the repos for it to check for program updates when it is released (like I remember reading something similar for WINE ) ?
[22:09] <Malik_> TuTUXG_: u there
[22:09] <tsukasa__> renfrew, you can even make your home folder its own partition before the reinstall so you dont have to mess with recopying stuff
[22:09] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, i'm sorry, i don't know enough about how ubuntu goes togeather to assist you there, although you could try editing your xorg.conf from the live cd
[22:09] <renfrew> home is a separate partition :).. I can always scrub '/' and go back to 7.10 if any problems with 8.04..
[22:09] <Buggeredfstab> JoCo: You're welcome. Just doing my duty as a member of the Ubuntu community :)
[22:09] <gregory> sap: you can install a cron job
[22:09] <tsukasa__> yup, there you go
[22:09] <nikrud> sap if someone provides the repos. You might want to look around ppa.launchpad.net . Those are  *use at your own risk* , of course
[22:10] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all, any thoughts on how to change the CLI (command line interface) resolution from its default (really HUGE) to something that better fits my monitor / graphics card capabilities?
[22:10] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle   sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[22:10] <SeanInSeattle> I tried using different kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:10] <sap> gregory, how do i install cron job? and what'll it do?
[22:10] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud:  So, that's a gui-way of configuring the CLI?
[22:10] <dark_harmonics> no thats from the command seaninseattle
[22:11] <renfrew> thanks for the input tsukasa__ and gregory... I'm gonna give hardy a go...
[22:11] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle it's not a gui, it's an ncurses interface that will run on the console (near greenlake, by any chance?)
[22:11] <sap> nikrud, for example I'd like to update Pidgin messenger, so could that be possible with adding a line or something in the repo ?
[22:11] <srm> well, i now changed breezy to gutsy in the sources file and now crossing fingers while dist-upgrade is running :)
[22:11] <gregory> sap: cron job is a meta facility to program your computer to do certain things on a fixed time. like a sceduler-calender program
[22:11] <goose_> how the f*ck do I get VLC to play a DVD?
[22:11] <nikrud> sap if you find someone who's providing packages, yes.
[22:11] <Buggeredfstab> !restricted formats

[22:11] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud:  Eh, not so much near greenlake I'm happy to say. ;0)
[22:11] <Slart> it might just be me and my computer but for some reason I can't choose my default soundcard any more.. or does it require a reboot to "stick" ?
[22:11] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: In bothell.
[22:12] <dark_harmonics> goose clean up language
[22:12] <nikrud> !language | goose (file->open disk)
[22:12] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud:  so i run that program, and it will run on top of my cli, or it will help me config the cli?
[22:12] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle ah, down near rat city :)
[22:12] <ed_ed> goose_: Ctrl+d
[22:12] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle config
[22:12] <goose_> dark_harmonics, sorry.. this is the ump-teenth time I've tried to get this to work
[22:12] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: you jest, I hope....
[22:12] <sap> nikrud, so it has to be a .deb package? or can it be a source as well ( i was thinking of linking it to the download page on the application's website ) ?
[22:12] <dark_harmonics> i know how you feel goose_
[22:12] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: lol.
[22:12] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle back in my day that's white city ;)
[22:12] <goose_> ed_ed, it doesn't do anything
[22:12] <dark_harmonics> did you try configuring it to use the x11 driver?
[22:12] <liquid1033> hi
[22:12] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: cool man, I'll try that, and see what happens.
[22:12] <srm> goose_: what's the problem? missing libdvdcss ?
[22:13] <goose_> srm, it literally does not do anything
[22:13] <dark_harmonics> goose_ did you try turning off compiz?
[22:13] <sap> gregory, umm.. I'm not sure if cron job can help me update some of my preferred applications automatically. can it??
[22:13] <liquid1033> can anyone help me with some keycode trouble?
[22:13] <goose_> dark_harmonics, how do I do that?
[22:13] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: by white you mean lacking a multi-ethnic community?
[22:13] <hanevar> hi 2 all
[22:13] <dark_harmonics> i have had issues playing DVDs with that enabled
[22:13] <dark_harmonics> metacity --replace turns off compiz and you can re-enable with compiz --replace
[22:13] <hanevar> i got font problem
[22:13] <dark_harmonics> just hit alt+f2
[22:13] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle in the 70's the area between bothel and south seattle was called white city, that was it's name
[22:13] <Scunizi> liquid1033, are you trying to find keycodes?
[22:13] <bAndie91> hi all
[22:13] <ed_ed> goose_: Is your computer reading the dvd?
[22:14] <biouser> anyone know about SBML?
[22:14] <hanevar> i got font problem on my ubuntu gusty gibbon
[22:14] <xZEXx> anyone know how to get vnc server to start before login screen so that login can be done remotely?
[22:14] <hanevar> how to solve it ?
[22:14] <biouser> libSBML and SloppyCell in particular in ubuntu
[22:14] <goose_> ed_ed, it reads it, totem tries to play it but totem is retarded
[22:14] <dark_harmonics> goose_ you will lose your desktop cube while you play the movie but hey its better than no playback
[22:14] <liquid1033> Scunizi: i have a remote and some keys have more than one keycode
[22:14] <dark_harmonics> goose_ did you try the instructions at mediubuntu (or something like that)
[22:14] <hanevar> helllo4
[22:14] <dark_harmonics> ill look for a link if you want goose_
[22:15] <hanevar> i got font priblem on my system
[22:15] <kbrooks> um, question. i want battery status
[22:15] <kbrooks> back
[22:15] <liquid1033> Scunizi: i'm looking for a config to change them to only one keycode
[22:15] <Malik_> wat desktop looks the best gnome or kde
[22:15] <Scunizi> liquid1033, I don't know if it will work for a remote but I used evtest to find keycodes for a multimedia keyboard
[22:15] <Slart> Anyone knows how to set default soundcard in ubuntu gutsy, 64-bit, with 2 soundcards?
[22:15] <gregory> sap: not by itself. you would have to program it to call the update-manager program with the interval you choose (2 sec, 1 day, very flexible)
[22:15] <kbrooks> hjow do i get it?
[22:15] <hanevar> after downloading the font how to make it visible ?
[22:15] <Andre_Gondim> when I go to System --> Administration --> Channel sources is write 5.04 Hardy Heron, how may i fix this?
[22:15] <goose_> dark_harmonics, I just want a GUI program that will play DVD's. It doesn't necissarily need to be VLC. Any suggestions?
[22:15] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle doh, brain fart. Thinging burien for bothell. Wrong end of the lake
[22:15] <dark_harmonics> check this out goose_ http://www.medibuntu.org/
[22:15] <gregory> Malik_: kde
[22:15] <hanevar> is there anyone her ?
[22:15] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud: interesting tidbit.... on the subject of the console setup, its giving me a crap-load of keyboard options at the beginning...
[22:16] <hanevar> is it the official chatroom ?
[22:16] <Scunizi> goose_, mplayer always worked for me
[22:16] <dark_harmonics> it has info related to making your DVD playback work properly. Most of the time VLC just works
[22:16] <hanevar> hello
[22:16] <SeanInSeattle> what should I choose, I'm not finding a basic keyboard layout
[22:16] <hanevar> hello
[22:16] <hanevar> is it the official chatroom ?
[22:16] <Malik_> wat does gusty come on with
[22:16] <gregory> hanevar: hello, we can read you. yes :-)
[22:16] <keithclark> hanevar, support room, yes
[22:16]  * dark_harmonics agrees with scunizi
[22:16] <Scunizi> goose_, although on Dapper I had to compile it myself to get it working correctly.
[22:16] <druke> xZEXx, thats more a part of the remote login stuff, beyond vnc
[22:16] <gregory> Malik_: gnome
[22:16] <hanevar> i got font problem on ubuntu
[22:16] <Malik_> but KDE looks better rite
[22:16] <sap> gregory, but can it update manually installed programs also like openoffice Pidgin etc?
[22:16] <hanevar> when i connect a to website
[22:16] <Scunizi> hanevar, that's a statement not a question
[22:16] <Malik_> and has a beter apperences and effects
[22:17] <microwaver> Dang it, always get a hard lock when I try and run WoW.exe
[22:17] <mokkpr01> can anybody tell me where i can get wubi for ubuntu 7.10..
[22:17] <gregory> Malik_: so you can choose Kubuntu = KDE+ubuntu
[22:17] <Cew27> hey all i have a problem i have cod 4 mounted on the desktop twice, one does nothing the other is the original mounting
[22:17] <Scunizi> !ask | hanevar
[22:17] <ubotu> hanevar: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[22:17] <nikrud> SeanInSeattle just accept the presets, you'll get to some character resolutions later. Not as nice as a framebuffer, but they work.
[22:17] <evand> mokkpr01: you can't.  There was no 7.10 version.  Your best bet is the version on the Hardy Beta CD.
[22:17] <gregory> sap: manually installed programs - no. thats a limitation of the update manager. it only watches for debs designed for ubuntu
[22:17] <schultza> i have a friend who is getting a message when installing sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-bin and other packages.... but gets cannot resolve depencies due to virtual packages. what are we missing?
[22:18] <hanevar> ok
[22:18] <niketas> Guys, what is the best choice of plugins to play avi/wmv/mpeg4 etc?
[22:18] <mokkpr01> i did with the one inside Hardy Beta CD, the wubi 8.04 but it just picks up the Hardy version..
[22:18] <Cew27> hey all i have a problem i have cod 4 mounted on the desktop twice, one does nothing the other is the original mounting how can i fix it
[22:18] <liquid1033> Scunizi: i can't find it, what package is it?
[22:18] <nikrud> !gutsysources | schultza (try this first)
[22:18] <ubotu> schultza (try this first): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[22:18] <Slart> niketas: I use vlc, no pluings required
[22:18] <evand> mokkpr01: why is that a problem?
[22:18] <sap> gregory, even if I had used "checkinstall" option when manually installing?
[22:18] <Scunizi> liquid1033, evtest
[22:18] <mokkpr01> i got an iso download of the 7.10 version, i was actually trying to install that..
[22:18] <hanevar> when i connect to a website like chinese website etc ... the page not display correctly
[22:18] <hanevar> how to make it visible ?
[22:19] <gregory> sap: which program are you talking about exactly?
[22:19] <dark_harmonics> niketas: i usually just do the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:19] <evand> mokkpr01: trust me, you don't want to use any 7.10 version of Wubi that you find.
[22:19] <sap> gregory, Pidgin and openoffice :)
[22:19] <dark_harmonics> has java, flash, and codecs
[22:19] <styrman> ed_ed: dont have battery icon
[22:19] <SeanInSeattle> nikrud:  does it take forever to reconfig the kernel and stuff after choosing all the appropriate options?
[22:19] <SeanInSeattle> nvrmind
[22:19] <niketas> Slart: is it a player or plugins pack?
[22:19] <kavelot> my video card (8086:2a02) it blacklisted to compiz... is there some alternative?
[22:19] <SeanInSeattle> it just finished.... I'm not patient.
[22:19] <tobi> I've got an atheros wlan card.
[22:19] <tobi> When I install linux-restricted-modules the wlan device comes up as expected.
[22:19] <tobi> The problem is: linux-restricted-modules installs nvidia-kernel-common
[22:19] <tobi> which makes my previously installed nvidia driver to stop working.
[22:19] <tobi> Is there a way to install linux-restricted-modules without nvidia-kernel-common
[22:19] <tobi> or to install the module ath_pci directly?
[22:19] <FloodBot3> tobi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:19] <niketas> Slart: afaic it's a player
[22:19] <Slart> niketas: it's a player
[22:19] <gregory> sap: sorry, which packet-manager-program are you talking about exactly?
[22:19] <Slart> !info vlc | niketas
[22:19] <ubotu> niketas: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5.1 (gutsy), package size 1135 kB, installed size 3228 kB
[22:20] <Scunizi> liquid1033, sorry  it's part of another package called dvb-utils
[22:20] <yeonhoo_> i dont have modeline 1280x800 where can i find it??
[22:20] <mokkpr01> okay, thanx evand.. i have the hardy version on one of my laptops.. i was trying to put the gutsy gibbon on another..
[22:20] <yeonhoo_> i dont have modeline 1280x800 where can i find it?? for xorg 7.3
[22:20] <hanevar> hellloo
[22:20] <mokkpr01> so that i need not run regular updates for time being..
[22:20] <hanevar> noone help me
[22:20] <sap> gregory, u mean synaptic package manager (that's what I use)
[22:20] <DeadLy_sp> i need print some info of df -h but for root info ?
[22:20] <dark_harmonics> kavelot: if you think that it is supported, then do a sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz and add it to the whitelist
[22:20] <niketas> Slart: thanks!
[22:20] <mysterycool> any good c/c++ compiler for linux?
[22:20] <hanevar> is it really the official chatroom
[22:20] <liquid1033> Scunizi: just found it.. thnx
[22:20] <gregory> sap: yes
[22:20] <hanevar> ???
[22:20] <druke> mysterycool, gcc
[22:20] <sap> gregory, k
[22:20] <Slart> mysterycool: the gnu compiler
[22:20] <evand> mokkpr01: understandable, but the 7.10 version was never finished.  So I imagine the Hardy version is more stable than that now.
[22:20] <hanevar> hellloop
[22:21] <Cew27> hey all i have a problem i have cod 4 mounted on the desktop twice, one does nothing the other is the original mounting how can i fix it
[22:21] <evand> mokkpr01: best of luck going forward
[22:21] <dark_harmonics> kavelot: sometimes you need to do this for the FGLRX driver (ati)
[22:21] <home_> !patience | hanevar
[22:21] <ubotu> hanevar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:21] <mysterycool> druke: a compiler that is in gui plz?
[22:21] <mokkpr01> okay, evand i get the picture now; i thought so looking at the sourceforge repository..
[22:21] <ed_ed> styrman: Plug in your charger and it should appear.
[22:21] <tobi> I've got an atheros wlan card. When I install linux-restricted-modules the wlan device comes up as expected. The problem is: linux-restricted-modules installs nvidia-kernel-common which makes my previously installed nvidia driver stop working. Is there a way to install linux-restricted-modules without nvidia-kernel-common or to install the module ath_pci directly?
[22:21] <JoCo_> eyy guys im having another severe problem, just finished the install of ubuntu and enabled the graphics driver but when i restart the loading bar loads then the screen goes idle and black and nothing happens
[22:21] <mokkpr01> thanks evand, i think i will just go ahead with the hardy version then.
[22:21] <ompaul> !bootoptions | JoCo_
[22:22] <ubotu> JoCo_: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[22:22] <dark_harmonics> tobi: did you try madwifi?
[22:22] <druke> mysterycool, you want an ide, not a compiler anjuta is good
[22:22] <hanevar> when i connect to a website like chinese website etc ... the page not display correctly
[22:22] <Malik_> o man i dk wats going  on...all my files r gone in ubuntu
[22:22] <dark_harmonics> maybe you should lay down the wifi driver
[22:22] <hanevar> when i connect to a website like chinese website etc ... the page not display correctly
[22:22] <Malik_> and aim gettign so many messages
[22:22] <home_> Wow, it's even busier than last time here
[22:22] <liquid1033> Scunizi: similar to xev
[22:22] <sylvain> helo
[22:22] <hanevar> hwo to display it correctly
[22:22] <tobi> i installed madwifi-tools if u mean that
[22:22] <home_> !intel graphics
[22:22] <Slart> hanevar: you might want to explain a bit more about your problem.. be specific.. what is wrong.. what did you expect.. what results did you find when googling for a solution.. in your case.. url of page that didn't work would be one thing
[22:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel graphics - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:22] <evand> mokkpr01: you're welcome :)
[22:22] <dark_harmonics> and then install the nvidia driver on top of that -> tobi
[22:22] <sap> well gtg get a dose of tremulous :D
[22:22] <sap> thanks all
[22:23] <Scunizi> liquid1033, yes.. however xev couldn't see the codes from the keyboard I was trying to use  evtest did.
[22:23] <gravemind> hey - system monitor says my network is doing things -- is there a tool I can download to find out what exactly it's doing?
[22:23] <dark_harmonics> i have an nvidia card and madwifi working with no problems on a macbook pro santarosa
[22:23] <druke> mysterycool, under add/remove applications in the applications menu, goto programming and type in c++ anjuta is under there, there are also other apps if you feel adventurous
[22:23] <hanevar> i just ask where is location to put the font file
[22:23] <gregory> sap: i cant find this option in the manpage and via ./program --help. generally: i recommend just sticking with the debian repos. they also provide fast updates. other then that you would have to use a different distro, which will not be as comfortable as ubuntu regarding user experience
[22:23] <hanevar> like in window s ?
[22:24] <tobi> i already tried to install the nvidia driver(downloaded from nvidia) after installing nvidia-kernel-common, but it only works correctly when i have no nvidia-kernel-common installed
[22:24] <dark_harmonics> tobi are you using the drivers from nvidia for your display?
[22:24] <liquid1033> Scunizi: i think the problem isn't the assignment but that 3 keys are "activated" at the same time
[22:24] <frost0> hello all, i just messed with a partition, and when i boot into ubuntu, the screen looks a little stretched and the font is mushed...what is wrong/
[22:24] <druke> mysterycool, though, are you doing things for school or other very small scale projects?
[22:24] <frost0> ?
[22:24] <pushpop> When I boot up my Ubuntu box I get a Grub error 22, anyone know how to resolve that?
[22:24] <sap> gregory, hmm.. ok. well thanks for your efforts; will then stick to manual updates for now I guess , if necessary .
[22:24] <gregory> sap: sorry, i meant stick with the ubuntu repos
[22:24] <dark_harmonics> tobi you could try finding the windows driver and using ndiswrapper to install it
[22:25] <sap> gregory, k
[22:25] <Cew27> can anyone tell me why my pc is mounting my media twice
[22:25] <Scunizi> liquid1033, is it like a shift keystroke function?
[22:25] <dark_harmonics> i do reccomend the NVIDIA custom drivers so i think you did that right -> tobi
[22:25] <mysterycool> druke: ? er, my own projects, but what does that matter?
[22:25] <liquid1033> Scunizi: yes
[22:25] <tobi> ye i know, but i wanted to try it without ndiwsrapper
[22:25] <Slart> pushpop: did you change anything to your box? added a hard drive? repartioned a drive? anything else?
[22:25] <liquid1033> Scunizi: control_l shift_l and d
[22:25] <pushpop> Slart: I may have changed the sata port on the mobo of a hd thats it!
[22:26] <schultza> thanks, he didnt have two of them checked out of the four... other screens were fine
[22:26] <johnny2008> is latest Ubuntu out yet?
[22:26] <dark_harmonics> if you have already laid down madwifi and the NVIDIA driver correctly i am at a loss bud :(
[22:26] <tobi> my nvidia driver(downloaded directly from nvidia) are working ... until i install the nvidia-kernel-common package :-)
[22:26] <dark_harmonics> do you need that package?
[22:26] <johnny2008> !latest version
[22:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about latest version - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:26] <druke> mysterycool, well you may want to just beef up gedit alot, thats what I use for college and such, if you care for a link
[22:26] <dark_harmonics> is that part of the download from them? tobi
[22:26] <stephen> hello
[22:27] <Slart> pushpop: I'm not sure about that error code.. but I think you may have changed the order of the drives.. so drive 2 isn't drive 2 any more.. and then grub doesn't find the boot files..
[22:27] <Scunizi> liquid1033, same issue on my keyboard.. it had an Fn button.. push one button individually at a time to find the scan code for each one. then do the combo and compare the output. if you're lucky you'll discover a new number. that will typically be it.. also hitting the combo then type dmesg in a terminal SOMETIME will reveal it.
[22:27] <gravemind> johnny2008: it'
[22:27] <gravemind> it's coming out in april
[22:27] <tobi> no, its part of the linux-restricted-modules package
[22:27] <pushpop> Slart: how would I resolve that
[22:27] <johnny2008> gravemind: it?
[22:27] <kbrooks> ummm
[22:27] <kbrooks> queestion
[22:27] <johnny2008> gravemind: what happened to March release?
[22:27] <dark_harmonics> ok maybe what you really need is to find out what part of the linux-restricted moduels you actually need
[22:28] <dark_harmonics> and then install only that
[22:28] <gravemind> johnny2008: hardy is 8.04-- it comes out in april
[22:28] <dark_harmonics> if you need it at all
[22:28] <dark_harmonics> i dont have have it on any of my computers
[22:28] <Slart> pushpop: there are many ways.. you can reinstall grub.. or just change the boot drive number setting (not sure exactly how to do this)
[22:28] <liquid1033> Scunizi: i try
[22:28] <kbrooks> i see a plug icon in my taskbar not a battery icon - gnome power manager - and i want a battery icon
[22:28] <johnny2008> gravemind: what happened to March release?
[22:28] <kbrooks> when i click on it it shows only "ac power"?
[22:28] <Slart> pushpop: here's one guide.. it might work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[22:28] <druke> mysterycool, http://ca.rroll.net/2008/02/05/ruby-on-rails-development-with-gedit/ is a guide for ruby onr ails but it works just as well for toher progamming languages
[22:28] <kbrooks> when i click on it it shows only "ac power".
[22:28] <Scunizi> kbrooks, is the laptop plugged in?
[22:29] <dark_harmonics> maybe install that and then remove the nvidia package that is screwing you up? tobi
[22:29] <dark_harmonics> just guessing really
[22:29] <kbrooks> Scunizi, um?
[22:29] <kbrooks> Scunizi, why ask?
[22:29] <Scunizi> kbrooks, is it a laptop? if it is and it's plugged in then it's letting you know it's plugged in..
[22:30] <tobi> when i remove the nvidia-kernel-common package, the linux-restricted-drivers package is removed too
[22:30] <kbrooks> Scunizi, ummmm, it is a laptop. when it is plugged in, it shows the battery icon, with a very small plug in the battery icon.
[22:30] <kbrooks> Scunizi, i mean normally
[22:31] <Scunizi> kbrooks, oh .. ok.. sorry I don't do laptops..don't really know the power manager.
[22:31] <obiwannekody> does anyone in here know if it is possible to set the editor in Eric4 to work like vi/vim?  (and if you do know how to, please let me know?)

[22:32] <cookie> hello
[22:32] <cookie> how do I modify my welcome message for bash
[22:32] <Slart> distatica: there's gnumeric.. don't know if it's good
[22:32] <liquid1033> Scunizi: no didn't wokr
[22:32] <Scunizi> distatica, gnumeric is the other standard
[22:32] <underdawg> My networking was working fine- but not it's not, I have an eth0 and an eth1 showing up (only have one networking card) and eth1 keeps increasing in 'errors' and eth0 won't even let me ping my router
[22:32] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, sudo mount /dev/hda1 /path/to/mountpoint
[22:32] <Scunizi> liquid1033, sorry,, I'm out of ideas.
[22:32] <Ima_Hacker> eh
[22:32] <distatica> Scunizi: comparable to OO and MS Office at all?
[22:32] <underdawg> what can I do?
[22:33] <cookie> when I login to bash...I want it to display somehting nice and some ascii pics. So how do I change that?
[22:33] <atlantis> Smith Carolina - Manual Typesetter with grid paper - very light on the proccessor
[22:33] <odysseybmx> obiwannekody: what doI fill in for mountpoint?
[22:33] <Scunizi> distatica, yes
[22:33] <distatica> great, thank you
[22:33] <Scunizi> distatica, although if they are use to excel typically the OOo version is easier to move to.  Not that gnumeric is hard.  they all have slight differences.
[22:33] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, where do you want to mount it?  you need a folder which doesn't have anything in it, and select that
[22:34] <cookie> when I login to bash...I want it to display somehting nice and some ascii pics. So how do I change that?
[22:34] <cookie> could somebody please help
[22:34] <cookie> ?
[22:34] <underdawg> My networking was working fine- but now it's not, I have an eth0 and an eth1 showing up (only have one networking card) and eth1 keeps increasing in 'errors' and eth0 won't even let me ping my router - does anyone know what I can do to troubleshoot?  Is there a way to disable eth1 or does linux have 2 'devices' per network card?
[22:34] <liquid1033> is there any file, in which a key can be assigned to a couple of keycodes
[22:34] <odysseybmx> obiwannekody: what?  I'm in the LiveCD
[22:34] <distatica> Scunizi: hmm, the thing is they live in the bush. This laptop is the first computer they've used in about 10 years, the last being a 486 with win95 (offline)
[22:34] <artenius> cookie: , edit your /etc/motd file
[22:34] <Slart> cookie: I think there is a file called .bashrc in your home folder.. it might be useful for this
[22:34] <obiwannekody> odysseybmx, ie sudo mkdir /hda  && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /hda  would mount it there
[22:34] <liquid1033> Scunizi: is there any file, in which a key can be assigned to a couple of keycodes
[22:35] <cookie> thanks artenius, thanks Slart
[22:35] <Slart> cookie: the motd file might be a better choice though
[22:35] <clover2203> *pretty lame this is .. but can i store files in my 'root file system' partition or i need to create a fat partition for that ?*
[22:35] <Scunizi> distatica, if you are looking for lighter weight stuff then gnumeric
[22:35] <distatica> ok
[22:35] <Scunizi> liquid1033, I'm not sure.. I just started diving into this type of thing in the last couple of days... it's frustrating!
[22:36] <Slart> clover2203: you can store files in your root file system.. but you'll be a happier person at the end of the day if you store them in your home folder
[22:36] <Terminico> hi
[22:36] <Scunizi> underdawg, disable eth1
[22:36] <liquid1033> Scunizi: yes it is ;)

[22:36] <olie> Hi I have recently setup a ubuntu 7.10 server with apache2 ssl. The problem is that when apache starts it asks me for my pass phrase for ssl and at the same time i get a login prompt which just fucks both ssl pass phrase and the login up. Is there a way to get the server to wait for me to enter the pass phrase before continue with the booting sequense ?
[22:37] <clover2203> slart: i c..currently im installing ubuntu and allocated 10 gb for '/' (root partition) .. i have more 1GB memory..do i need to create swap ?
[22:37] <Scunizi> olie, this is a family friendly channel.. carfull.  as for the server stuff it's probably better asked in #ubuntu-server
[22:37] <olie> oh ok
[22:37] <dark_Harmonics> clover2203 it is worth it to let it create the swap
[22:38] <Slart> clover2203: perhaps =).. I'd create a 1.5 - 2Gb swap partition just to be safe

[22:39] <ed_ed> I found a solution to the vlc problem.
[22:39]  * Pelo has gone 14 days without a wine update, and he's jonesing
[22:39] <clover2203> slart: isnt swap used like a fast accessable memory like RAM ?
[22:39] <Pelo> liquid1033, can you restate the problem ?
[22:39] <ed_ed> sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine build-essential debhelper fakeroot
[22:39] <ed_ed> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[22:40] <dark_Harmonics> clover2203 its hard drive space that your computer uses as an overflow when it needs extra ram
[22:40] <Slart> Sonja: there is a package for creating nautilus actions.. search in synaptic for it.. then you create a small bash script to do the actual moving
[22:40] <dark_Harmonics> better to have it then to run out of memory clover2203
[22:40] <dark_Harmonics> just in case you actually do run something that uses up what you have
[22:40] <clover2203> yeah.. dark_harmonics
[22:40] <Slart> clover2203: it's used when you run out of regular memory..

[22:48] <liquid1033> Pelo: do you know where else to search for... or for what to search (sorry for the bad english)
[22:49] <Pelo> Malik_,  if it's a desktop ,  just turn off the power,  open the box,  locate the cdrom drive , and must unplug the power cable from it ,  it's usualy a whitish nylon plugwith 3 or 4 coloured wires in it

[22:52] <NW2190> artenius: ah... It's using sh instead of bash.  Thanks for the help.

[22:58] <Malik_> Pelo: strike f1 key to continue and f2 to run the setup utility
[22:58] <Pelo> moonlight, you won,t be able to upgrade to hardy from fiesty,  either from dapper ( the last lts ) or from the previous release, you can'T "skip" a realase when upgrading
[22:58] <emja> anyone here willing to delve into gspca land? I've got the driver installed but /dev/video* doesn't appear when I plug the cam in. other /dev/ devices do (usbdev1.7_ep0*, etc). I'm stumped.
[22:58] <ana-mari> gtkpod and rythmbox confuse the crap out of me but that's perhaps cause I don't know anything about ipods.
[22:58] <Pelo> Malik_,that's the bios stuff, f1 to continue
[22:59] <jacekowski> anybody have working tvout with output cloning on nvidia graphic card
[22:59] <moonlight> Pelo, then i will be needed to upgrade feisty to gutsy =]

[22:59] <Malik_> Pelo: alrite ubntu is loading
[22:59] <sean2000> anyone knows how to get Totem movie player working in Ubuntu?  it complained missing codex
[23:00] <moonlight> to not upgrade the feisty too gutsy it's a sin :D

[23:00] <moonlight> >
[23:00] <Malik_> Pelo: and i enter my password
[23:00] <Pelo> jacekowski, it is doable but I think you need to use the binairy driver to do it , no garrantie, I just think I saw someone mention it here,  chek in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[23:00] <Pelo> Malik_, and ?
[23:00] <husi_bofh> hello@all
[23:00] <Slart> emja: what webcamera are you using? when I tried using gspca I had to use the included viewer.. something like luview.. can't really remember
[23:00] <Tournicoti> pelo : found it commented it , all works great , thnx a lot for the quick responses again !
[23:00] <odysseybmx> can anyone help me?
[23:00] <Jaymac> sean2000, what type of file are you trying to play? you can find most plugins in the gstreamer plugin pack
[23:00] <odysseybmx> it won't let me mount the HD while I'm in the Live CD
[23:00] <emja> Slart: z-star
[23:00] <Malik_> Pelo: it says ubntu comes with abolutley no warranty to extend premitted by aplicable law
[23:00] <Slart> emja: luvcview was the name
[23:00] <Pelo> Tournicoti, np , it was an easy one
[23:01] <emja> Slart: not going to help much of /dev/video* doesn't appear though, right?
[23:01] <sean2000> jaymac:  it's regular dvd movie disc
[23:01] <Slart> emja: ah.. mine was a logitech ultra.. can't really help you then
[23:01] <Pelo> Malik_,  I don't need a play by play , just tell me if you get to the desktop or not
[23:01] <emja> er.. if
[23:01] <emja> Slart: thx
[23:01] <Malik_> Pelo: it doesn't take me there
[23:01] <Pelo> Malik_, try typing startx
[23:01] <Scoldog> I've recently change the theme that Ubuntu uses, including the login screen.  For some reason, there is still a brown screen shown for about 10 seconds after I log in before the desktop is shown.  Does anyone know why this is?
[23:01] <CopyWriter> wow... i've never seen so many pe\ople in irc before
[23:01] <rsk> =)
[23:02] <Slart> emja: I'm not sure if the /dev/video thingy showed up before I used the luvcview thingy.. I don't think gspca is really finished.. at least not the parts that I needed
[23:02] <Jaymac> sean2000, you'll need libdvdread and libdvdcss which may or may not be legal in your location.
[23:02] <Malik_> Pelo: takes me to another black screen
[23:02] <liquid1033> Pelo: thnx for your help
[23:02] <CopyWriter> i love this place already
[23:02] <Pelo> Scoldog,  that the background  before the wallpaperloads, you can change that in menu > system > admin > login screen , look for a color selector on the first tab I think
[23:02] <sean2000> jaymac,  ok so how can I get those?
[23:02] <tritium> !dvd | sean2000
[23:02] <ubotu> sean2000: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[23:02] <Scoldog> Pelo, Already changed that
[23:03] <luigi__> scusate avrei bisogno di un piccolo aiuto
[23:03] <tritium> sean2000: /msg ubotu medibuntu, and he'll give you more info
[23:03] <Slart> Scoldog: it might be the default background color too.. it's in a pretty sneake place.. hang on.. I'll see if I can find it again
[23:03] <Malik_> Pelo: saying build operating system: linux Ubuntu...( its a black screen full of writing)???
[23:03] <Pelo> Malik_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,  if your video card is not shows select the vesa driver and leave all other answer to default unless you absolutely know better,  , then reboot
[23:03] <luigi__> vorrei capire perchè nn mi si apre emule
[23:03] <Pelo> Scoldog, no idea then
[23:03] <Scoldog> Pelo, Changed that as well, mate.
[23:03] <Jaymac> sean2000, type into a terminal sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3
[23:03] <DeadLy_sp> linux_loon, im talking about print free space /(root) disk
[23:03] <Malik_> Pelo: wat?
[23:03] <sean2000> tritium:  I'm window guy so know nothing about Linux
[23:03] <DeadLy_sp> with df isn't possible?
[23:04] <CopyWriter> i have an out of range monitor when i startup but it always worked fine until i started up this evening
[23:04] <Jaymac> sean2000, once you have installed those, i think the command is sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[23:04] <odysseybmx> can anyone help me?
[23:04] <tritium> !medibuntu | sean2000
[23:04] <odysseybmx> I need the files
[23:04] <Pelo> Malik_,  type the command i gave you and follow the instructions
[23:04] <ubotu> sean2000: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[23:04] <Malik_> k
[23:04] <Arrick> !apache
[23:04] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[23:04] <Scoldog> Pelo, It's not a problem, just more of an annoyance.  I love  Ubuntu but hate the default brown theme
[23:04] <tritium> sean2000: the short answer is that you'll need the libdvdcss2 package from the medibuntu repositories.  Also, read the URLs I had ubotu paste for you above.
[23:05] <Pelo> sean2000, you can play with it a bit , mine isn't so brown anymore , just a bit more orangy , I kind of like orange,
[23:05] <tritium> sean2000: even your help system has a section on DVD playback.
[23:05] <gew1> hey guys  , i wanna start using cli from time to time but i dont wanna remove gui ... how do i stop using gui ?
[23:05] <Jaymac> gew1, just open the command line instead :)
[23:05] <Malik_> Pelo: i enterned the command and i get anonther screen of words wat do i need to look for?
[23:05] <sean2000> tritium, you meant go to applications->add remove to install that?
[23:05] <Scoldog> Pelo, Try and do my computer up to look like somethng out of a movie, and I have this brown screen coming up and destroying it all
[23:05] <gew1> Jaymac: no thats not it
[23:05] <gew1> i wanna be able to boot in cli
[23:06] <tritium> sean2000: no, I gave you a URL to read.
[23:06] <Jaymac> then just don't start gdm
[23:06] <Pelo> sean2000,  because of copyright restrictions in some countries,  the ubuntu team cannot include dvd support right out of the box , so you need to install a few pacakges to get it going, just follow the instrucions in the links we gave you , if you get stuck at one of them just ask us how to do that one and we'll help yo9u out
[23:06] <Slart> Scoldog: look in the file /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default   at the end there is something called BACKCOLOR... took me a while to find
[23:06] <jon_> how do I burn a bootable dvd using k3b?
[23:06] <Jaymac> or hit Ctrl Alt and F1 to get to a CLI
[23:06] <Jaymac> Ctrl Alt and F7 brings you back to the GUI
[23:06] <Pelo> Malik_, I think you need to reinstall ubuntu
[23:06] <sean2000> tritium, www.medibuntu.org ?
[23:06] <Black_Magic_> irc.osx.hu
[23:06] <Malik_> Pelo: o man
[23:07] <Pelo> jon_,  it is an iso ?
[23:07] <tritium> sean2000: that's one of them.
[23:07] <gew1> Jaymac: how do i stop gdm from starting up on bootup then
[23:07] <jon_> Pelo, Yes
[23:07] <Pelo> Malik_,  it will be easier then running down your problem
[23:07] <Malik_> Pelo: r u sure i hav no other chooice and do u know war the problem was
[23:07] <CopyWriter> man i've learnt like 5 things since just reading what you guys type
[23:07] <CopyWriter> incredible
[23:07] <tritium> !dvd | sean2000 (one more time)
[23:07] <ubotu> sean2000 (one more time): For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[23:07] <Pelo> jon_,  look in the menu under tool for burn dvd image
[23:07] <Slart> Scoldog: I think that's the color that is set before it loads any of your personal preferences.. so you get a flash of brown before your own colors show up.. unless you change that line there
[23:07] <sensae> Hello
[23:07] <CopyWriter> hello sensae
[23:07] <Malik_> Pelo: so i connect the cd driver back rite
[23:08] <Anderson> Pelo, what do I use for the boot device emulation.. i.e. bootable floppy (I changed back to old nick)
[23:08] <sean2000> ubotu, thank you..... I'm reading now
[23:08] <Jaymac> gew1, you could install boot-up manager (bum) and deselect gdm
[23:08] <Pelo> Malik_, I just think it will be simpler,  plug the cdrom back in , boot hte live cd and copy your /home to a seperate partitons, you can then mount the /home where it is when you install
[23:08] <druid_> hello just testing
[23:08] <tritium> sean2000: ubotu is a bot.  I had him send you those URLs.
[23:08] <underdawg> how do I diagnose why my network just stopped working on my ubuntu all of the sudden (using active windows computer on network now)
[23:08] <EugZol_> hi all
[23:08] <Jaymac> gew1, the command to start gdm from a commandline is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[23:08] <gew1> Jaymac: thank u!
[23:08] <panicbyte> hey could someone explain what the heck "Internet Time" means on the gnome clock applet... where it displays some number like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[23:08] <Pelo> Anderson, what was your original nick ?
[23:08] <CopyWriter> hi EugZol_
[23:08] <Malik_> Pelo: do wat with home ????
[23:09] <dryder> good morning ever1
[23:09] <Malik_> Pelo: and wat is home?
[23:09] <sean2000> tritium,  ok thanks
[23:09] <Anderson> Pelo, jon_
[23:09] <CRINGO> How do you search for a file in your filesystem if you don't know where it is?  What command?
[23:09] <[agatha]> is there any way to format an ntfs partition to ext3 without losing some stuff??
[23:09] <Jaymac> Malik_, /home is your personal directory
[23:09] <Malik_> Pelo: wat does thats hav to do with reinstallation
[23:09] <CRINGO> [agatha], when you format, it wipes it clean
[23:09] <Pelo> Malik_, your /home folder, create a new partiton on your hdd,  copy the /home folder from your current ubuntu installation to that new partiton , then reinstall ubuntu on it's original location ,  that way you won't lose any data or settings
[23:09] <wsv123456> How do I mount ipod for gtkpod?
[23:09] <Anderson> Pelo, when I burn my dvd iso image for linux, it will automagically be bootable?
[23:10] <[T]ank> anyone here able to help me with pppd in ubuntu gutsy?
[23:10] <tritium> CRINGO: which and whereis are two you can try.
[23:10] <Jaymac> CRINGO, you could try whereis or locate
[23:10] <sensae> I can't get my X server to work with ati or radeon drivers. It's complaining "No matching device section for instance (PCI:1:0:1)"
[23:10] <[agatha]> that is a great idea... i want to delete the whole windows up... but there are some things i wouldnt like to lose, yet they are not really important... i can get them again
[23:10] <[T]ank> i am connecting a verizon evdo card using kppp and it connects for about 1.5 minutes and then it dies with an error status 15
[23:10] <CRINGO> thank you tritium and Jaymac
[23:10] <Pelo> Anderson, when you burn an iso you get an exact copy of the original cd the iso was made from , no need to select anyother details
[23:10] <sensae> My device section is set to PCI:1:0:0. If I change it to 1:0:1 it complains it can't find 1:0:0
[23:10] <Malik_> Pelo: its okay i didn't hav any important data
[23:10] <dryder> verbose question about my install requirements - may I ask it?
[23:10] <[T]ank> i have read that there are bugs in ppp but have not found a way around this.
[23:10] <[agatha]> just wondering if i convert the partition from ntfs to ext3 with gparted will delete the things, i think the change from ntfs to fat does not delete the files. what a mess
[23:10] <[agatha]> -.-
[23:11] <EugZol_> I want to play Laser Age game on wine. But when I do 'wine LaserAge.exe' I get error: 'Beatnik did not initialize, please make sure that a Beatnik Soundbank has been loaded properly'. There are some .RMF files in the game folder and so it seems wine could load proper codec for them. Could somebody help me with this issue?
[23:11] <Pelo> Malik_, your settings for aps are also in the /home fodler but if you don'T care , just clean install  the regular way
[23:11] <Anderson> Pelo, gotcha, I must have been looking at a different project earlier or something.
[23:11] <cookie> HELLO AGAIn
[23:11] <EugZol_> *wine could not load
[23:11] <cookie> I have a big problem
[23:11] <Flannel> EugZol_: Have you tried #winehq?  They're more apt with wine than we are.
[23:11] <Jaymac> [agatha], i'm pretty sure changing a partition from ntfs to ext3 will completely format it
[23:11] <Pelo> [agatha], all data will be lost
[23:11] <sensae> Could anyone help me with my X server / ATI card?
[23:11] <EugZol_> Flannel: I will
[23:11] <Jaymac> EugZol_, try http://appdb.winehq.org
[23:12] <cookie> In the log files...it only tells me if a user logged in...if he tried a wrong password or if he failed to guess a username(sshd)
[23:12] <Slart> panicbyte: might be this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time
[23:12] <Anderson> If I was using ubuntu, and I switch to fedora, will my home partition still be mountable?
[23:12] <Flannel> cookie: yes
[23:12] <cookie> is there any way to find out what passwords he actually tried?
[23:12] <Flannel> er, Anderson, yes
[23:12] <Flannel> cookie: No, that's a security risk
[23:12] <fr500> arghh
[23:12] <[agatha]> hmm ok so before making it i need to move a few things... but just in case so later i save the questions, i open gparted and unmount the partition and change to ext3 and that's all? it's dev/sda1 will it be a problem?
[23:12] <fr500> where is the sdlmame executable located
[23:12] <[agatha]> what a mess -.-
[23:12] <fr500> ?
[23:12] <Anderson> Flannel, Thanks
[23:12] <Pelo> Anderson,  yes but there might be some issues if the aps you use are not the same versions
[23:12] <vasyl> hello, can someone tell me if gparted that comes on ubuntu live cd can resize ntfs partitions without data lossÉ
[23:13] <cookie> Flannel: Why? I want to know what passwords my user tried to login with(me being an admin)
[23:13] <panicbyte> slart, thanks
[23:13] <Pelo> vasyl, yes it cna but defrag and backup first just to be safe
[23:13] <[agatha]> vasyl,  resize them probably yes, i did already, but not convert them :P
[23:13] <CopyWriter> this place is great
[23:13] <Slart> vasyl: most of the time it can.. but backup your data first
[23:13] <panicbyte> slart, and you are correct, thats the one
[23:13] <Pelo> CopyWriter, we try our best
[23:13] <TaRDy> wsv123456, i may have a solution to my networking problem from earlier, (testing now)
[23:13]  * CopyWriter absorbing knowledge
[23:13] <vasyl> Slart: well it a new pc so nothing to backup :D thanks
[23:13] <Flannel> cookie: because other users would be the same, (you'd be able to see their failed password attempts) and that would give you hints as to their password (here, or otherwise).
[23:14] <martyn> Alright everyone. Can anyone point me to a howto or similar that will help me obtain an IP address from my router. Using Gutsy and RT2500 driver with Ndiswrapper (thought the provided RT2500 might be the cause. Anyway - card is running well and can see all the Wireless NW in the area - but cannot obtain an IP address. Any ideas?
[23:14] <[agatha]> and your best is really good Pelo  :) keep on the good job you all, i'm gonna mess with my partitions a bit :P
[23:14] <CopyWriter> i'm gonna reformat using ubuntu right now
[23:14] <Anderson> martyn, do you have dhcp enabled on the router?
[23:14] <CopyWriter> tried kubuntu but didn't like kde
[23:14]  * Pelo pumps more info into CopyWriter 's brain in the hope of triggering some kind of helpfull regurgitation
[23:14] <napii> Hey all. Could some one help me with getting emails to work please. Have made several attempts at setting up postfix but not getting very far. Read a load of setup guides to see about the options and different ways, and went with virtual users & domains (best matches my setup)
[23:14] <napii> I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto - but when I test it by sending an email, it just gets queued, and the directories don't get created.
[23:14] <napii> Tried making the directories myself then sending another email, but again just gets queued. Not entirely sure what to try next. Theres no errors or anything getting in the logs (apart from postfix-hast dictionary package)
[23:14] <cookie> Flannel: Exactly. So could it be possible to modify the sshd logging system to give passwords too?
[23:14] <martyn> Anderson - Yes. DHCP - plenty of 'free' addresses. (using 3 out of 20).
[23:15] <Anderson> martyn, did you run dhclient?
[23:15] <CopyWriter> anytime i boot it gives me out of range monitor error
[23:15] <Malik_> Pelo: alrite aim reinstalling it after it installs can u help me configure my wirless internet
[23:15] <CopyWriter> but works when gnome loads, any ideas
[23:15] <Flannel> cookie: I would hope not.  Since that's really a bad idea.  What do you hope to gain from doing so?
[23:15] <martyn> Anderson - No - will give that a blast. Thought it might be WPA issue but same problem with no security.
[23:15] <dryder> here goes --- 5 HDD system - 2 sata, 3 ide. My OS' are each on a different drive - I installed Feisty (and earlier versions) by unplugging all other drives to force grub onto the feist hdd and not interfere with the mbr. I don't want multiple OS grub/mbr or chainloaders. I have a default boot (Feisty) but can choose via F12 which disk to boot from. Useful for Windows which runs what Ubuntu can't - Garmin GPS and a few media apps. I want
[23:15] <katsu_mooo> anyone have gnome-settings-manager issues after updating to all newest packages?
[23:16] <atlantis> anyone know of a good 64bit filesharing app.... limewire/frostwire no go. emule too slow.
[23:16] <Anderson> martyn, it could be because I think ndiswrapper only supports wep
[23:16] <tritium> katsu_mooo: they have not been updated recently
[23:16] <cookie> Flannel: Well, for the past 2 days...some fuckers try to connect to my box with users like admin, root and fluffy(wtf?). they connect to me from firewalls and switches
[23:16] <Pelo> CopyWriter,   look at the lable on the back of your monitor ,  fine the horizontal refresh rate , often listed as just H ,   note it , the edit the xorg.conf file , find the horiz sync  value and extend the range so your montiors value is in the range
[23:16] <martyn> Anderson - same problem with no security.
[23:16] <cookie> Flannel: all the ip's come from italy
[23:16] <danand_> martyn - why ndiswrapper? Think that card is supported - see http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[23:16] <Anderson> martyn, try dhclient with out security.
[23:16] <katsu_mooo> tritium: damn.. i am not having any luck fixing it -- i just went straight from alpha 6 to beta
[23:16] <CopyWriter> thanks Pelo
[23:16]  * Pelo ' s brain will explode
[23:17] <tritium> katsu_mooo: you need to be asking in #ubuntu+1, then.
[23:17] <Flannel> cookie: knowing the passwords they're trying won't really help.  You should look into denyhosts
[23:17] <katsu_mooo> atlantis: mldonkey / mlnet is the best -- you must tune it a little to make sure your main firewall forwards your ports properly tho
[23:17] <tritium> katsu_mooo: hardy isn't released (or supported in this channel) quite yet.
[23:17] <Jaymac> i've got an annoying network-manager bug - connecting to a 64/128 Hex WEP network, it connects fine first time, then fails immediately the next time it tries to connect - only solution is to click Connect to Other Network, and then re-enter the information - rather annoying
[23:17] <sensae> I'm trying to switch to the ati drivers and X dies with "no screen found"
[23:17] <danand_> martyn - also see the output of modprobe -l | grep rt2
[23:17] <atlantis> thks
[23:17] <[agatha]> ok... another one... http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whereisitvj6.png can anyone workout what i've messed for the reboot and turn off options to disappear??
[23:17] <katsu_mooo> tritium: thank you :)
[23:17] <martyn> danand - yes, card is supported. I "upgraded" from Xubuntu when all was well - when using Ndiswrapper. As Gutsy has the drivers included thought that that could be a problem....

[23:19] <danand_> martyn - could you not just try a modprobe rt2500... ? see if you get any luck. I have a ralink card and its supported "out the box" in 7.10 ... just worked with the network manager
[23:20] <Flannel> odysseybmx: You shouldn't have problems opening them via liveCD.  Just make sure the partitions are mounted properly.

[23:20] <Malik_> Pelo: after this reinstalls can u help me configure my wirless internet on ubntu???
[23:20] <odysseybmx> Flannel: I don't have permission to

[23:21] <underdawg> how do I diagnose why my network just stopped working on my ubuntu all of the sudden (using active windows computer on network now)
[23:21] <martyn> danand - will also try that. Jessica - it is a Belkin F5D7050 (RA chip). Was working fine in Xubuntu (after a headache setting up).
[23:21] <odysseybmx> Flannel: it's only for certain folders in it, I need my FF bookmarks but .mozilla has permissions set wrong
[23:21] <JoCo> LOL

[23:22] <pros977> Get the webcam tutor. It will improve your webcam's GPA in just 6 weeks.
[23:22] <martyn> Flannel - still on DHCP offers recieved even with security off. Strange thing is, when using a wired connection the router happily throws IP addresses out (to same laptop) with no problem... Danand - It is USB
[23:22] <Malik_> like the cool matrix background
[23:22] <jessica> ok thanks
[23:23] <gyaresu> now now. back on topic.
[23:23] <martyn> Flannel - still NO offers, bad typo there!
[23:23] <[agatha]> i already did no one answered :P gyaresu  the problem is that when i go to "quit" the turn off and restart buttons are not there. http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whereisitvj6.png (for more details) and i don't have a clue what i have messed up :P
[23:23] <sreedhar> hello
[23:23] <Flannel> martyn: I think you're not trying to talk to me.  jessica, perhaps.
[23:23] <gyaresu> jessica: What are you using with it at the moment. skype? (I've not got a cam so may need to do a bit of reading).
[23:23] <Anderson> martyn, looking for me?
[23:24] <jessica> im on www.stickam.com
[23:24] <jessica> its like a chat website which you broadcast your cam
[23:24] <odysseybmx> link to your page?
[23:24] <martyn> Oops - sorry. Yes Anderson.
[23:24] <odysseybmx> I know what stickam is
[23:24] <ere4si> help with iptables rule to limit clients to 2 connections per 300 seconds please
[23:24] <odysseybmx> can you give us a link to yours to see how dim it is?
[23:24] <vasyl> éexit
[23:24] <Malik_> can some1 help me my ubuntu installation is stuck on ....valisating ethtool on 6%
[23:24] <Anderson> martyn, check iwconfig to make sure that your nic has associated with your access point
[23:25] <odysseybmx> jessica: try turning on some lights?
[23:25] <martyn> Anderson - will do.
[23:25] <jessica> i have
[23:25] <Anderson> martyn, if it has you will see the MAC address of your access point.
[23:25] <jessica> but thanks i think i sorted it out
[23:25] <danand_> martyn - if what your trying doesnt work for you ... make sure ndiswrapper etc is not gonna interfere and then so modprobe rt2500usb
[23:25] <odysseybmx> jessica: can you give me a link to see what's wrong?
[23:25] <gyaresu> jessica: What was the solution?
[23:26] <jessica> using a building light shining at me
[23:26] <martyn> Anderson - Access Point - not associated.
[23:26] <odysseybmx> lol
[23:26] <Anderson> martyn, what does it say for ESSID?
[23:26] <jessica> its very bright but its really brightend things up
[23:26] <martyn> It has my wireless network name on (my home adddress).
[23:26] <Breetai> Hi all, are there any known problems with b43 after the latest updates?
[23:26] <odysseybmx> can anyone help me now?
[23:27] <kakoonia> Helloo
[23:27] <odysseybmx> the folder can only be opened by the owner, is there a way I can authenticate myself?
[23:27] <Anderson> odysseybmx, just ask your question, if someone can help you they will
[23:27] <odysseybmx> I did
[23:27] <odysseybmx> [19:27]  <odysseybmx> the folder can only be opened by the owner, is there a way I can authenticate myself?
[23:27] <odysseybmx> I'm using a Live CD to get to the files on the HD
[23:28] <kakoonia> im using ubuntu, and i was wondering how can i plugin my external video camera to my laptop.. i wanna watch recorded videos through my pc.
[23:28] <danand_> odysseybmx - can you not use sudo to copy files etc?
[23:28] <martyn> danand - will go back to original Gutsy driver after this - but not sure it is a driver problem as it can see loads of W/L networks in my area - I cannot get a IP address on wireless only (works with wired connection to same laptop). Exactly same problem using 'native' drivers.
[23:28] <Anderson> odysseybmx, did you use udo?
[23:28] <kakoonia> ?
[23:28] <Anderson> sudo
[23:28] <odysseybmx> how do I use sudo to open it?
[23:28] <odysseybmx> I need one file out of it
[23:28] <Anderson> martyn, looking for me again?
[23:29] <crackhead100> hey can anyone help ... i can't see the APPLICATIONS from the main menu!?? the system and places drop down works fine, but the applications menu doesn't appear and show my programs??!!
[23:29] <crackhead100> artenius: are you still around?
[23:29] <gyaresu> kakoonia: how do you normally plug it in?
[23:29] <Anderson> martyn, try this 'sudo iwconfig ap any'
[23:29] <martyn> Anderson - this time no - danand (I think) was talking to me too - suggesting to go back to Gutsy driver. I will do that but am not convinced that is the problem - asI had the same issue with 'native' driver.
[23:29] <martyn> Anderson - thanks. Will try.
[23:30] <kakoonia> uhhmm i have no idea.. i just got the camera from a friend of mine.. and i got a SVideo Cable i can use to plugin.. im not sure how does it work...
[23:30] <forgetsco> anyone have any idea how to fix the error Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library?
[23:30] <danand_> odysseybmx - hmm, not exactly sure what problem your having... are you trying to mount the hd, or is the hd mounted and you can read files in a certain dir?
[23:30] <kakoonia> gyaresu : ..
[23:30] <josh> i'm reconfiguing my kenrel so that it will support serial for my tablet, i'm at the configuration menu where is it that i enable serial?
[23:30] <receptor> hello
[23:30] <napii> Could some one help me getting email to work please? Am trying to do virtual users (and domains) - have setup the vmail account, done the alias files and the virtual_ settings in main.cf, but when I send an email to one of the accounts it just gets queue'd. vmail doesn't make the new directories. I tried adding them myself then sending another email but it still gets queued
[23:30] <odysseybmx> danand_: the HD is mounted, I need to open a folder
[23:30] <Anderson> martyn, hopefully someone can give you a hand. it has something to do with you not being associated to the AP. You should be able to if there is no encryption, but make sure you are using the same 802.11 protocol and that all of your configurations match up.
[23:30] <odysseybmx> danand_: I don't have persmission to open the folder
[23:31] <Anderson> martyn, I am getting ready to go out so I'm gonna log off.
[23:31] <martyn> Anderson - thanks v. much. Have fun.
[23:31] <danand_> odysseybmx - are you using teh terminal or GUI file manager?
[23:31] <receptor> what happened to the killall command in ubuntu jeos 8 beta?
[23:31] <odysseybmx> danand_: I can use either, I'm using the GUI atm
[23:31] <kakoonia> gyraesu: i have my bands show taped on it.. and i wanna download it.. thats the main idea..
[23:31] <gyaresu> kakoonia: Well you need some way of connecting _in_ to the laptop. The svideo cable problably has connections on the end to go to a tv. Is it a digital cam. Does it have a firewire port?
[23:31] <JoCo> hey guys for some reason ubuntu isnt detecting any of my netwroks, any solutions here?
[23:31] <bobesponja> hi
[23:32] <UzLinux> Hey all
[23:32] <gyaresu> JoCo: what version of ubuntu?
[23:32] <gyaresu> !hi
[23:32] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[23:32] <zcat[1]> hmmm.. I seem to be running xchat elsewhere
[23:32] <JoCo> gy7.10
[23:32] <JoCo> gy7.10
[23:32] <bobesponja> my windows partition is on hda5, what should I add to my grub so it get picks up? I tried (hd0, 5) but nope :/
[23:32] <JoCo> gyaresu: 7.10
[23:32] <odysseybmx> danand_: can you help?
[23:33] <danand_> odysseybmx - ok, use the terminal and sudo -i to become root... be careful! and then cd into the dir you want
[23:33] <kakoonia> gyaresu: ye... it has a firewire and its a digi-cam. though im not sure i have firewire on my laptop. how should it look like?
 i'm reconfiguing my kenrel so that it will support serial for my tablet, i'm at the configuration menu where is it that i enable serial?
[23:33] <UzLinux> Just started using Kubuntu after using Centos5 on my laptop - Kubuntu is way cool!
[23:33] <gyaresu> JoCo: and the wireless manager doesn't find anything? is it installed or livecd?
[23:33] <danand_> odysseybmx - sorry slow typist
[23:33] <danny_> how do i open a instal.sh file in terminal as root?
[23:33] <jonalegend> bobesponja: grub start with (hd0,0)
[23:33] <odysseybmx> danand_: what do I do now, I CD'd to it
[23:33] <odysseybmx> err crap
[23:33] <odysseybmx> it looks like it's empty
[23:33] <gyaresu> kakoonia: Like mini usb does but a bit different. F
[23:34] <jonalegend> bobesponja: so your 5th partition would be actually hda0,4
[23:34] <xjohnthomasx> does anyone have any ideas ?? i can't see my programs in the application drop down menu. the application menu doesn't drop down! the places and system menu appear fine, though...???
[23:34] <danand_> odysseybmx - :(
[23:34] <receptor> thats really weird, no killall in a unix system?
[23:34] <odysseybmx> where are the FF bookmarks stored?
[23:34] <JoCo> gyaresu: installed, i dunno everything was working when it was first installed but now im having more problems with ubuntu than i would have hoped for, black screen after splash screen, dl'ing grapchics card ruins things and now network
[23:34] <odysseybmx> if they aren't in .mozilla
[23:34] <JoCo> it just doesnt list any
[23:34] <JoCo> gyaresu: and i just tried rebooting to see if that was the problem but now im getting a black screen right after the boot (again)
[23:35] <bobesponja> ok thanx jonalegend
[23:35] <nikrud> xjohnthomasx try   alt-f2  killall gnome-panel  , should cause it to reload/reset
[23:35] <JoCo> so i guess i dont need the network help lol
[23:35] <ere4si> help with iptables rule to limit clients to 2 connections per 300 seconds please
[23:35] <kakoonia> gyaresu: yeye!! i just googled it.. i got it.. theres a number written on it (1394) well.. damn i dont have the frickin' wire here..
[23:35] <xjohnthomasx> nikrud: i've cleared the panels. same. i tried a new account. same. i tried reinstalling everything gnome related.. same thing..
[23:35] <gyaresu> JoCo: :( that's annoying. Is it a base install or have you enabled repos?
[23:35] <gyaresu> kakoonia: At least that's a start :)
[23:36] <kakoonia> i thought it would work with my usb cable
[23:36] <kakoonia> ye
[23:36] <xjohnthomasx> nikrud: when i go to control center, and click main menu there, it processes, and then no configuration applet appears... ??
[23:36] <nikrud> xjohnthomasx try clearing out ~/.local/share/applications
[23:36] <odysseybmx> danand_: I CD'd to it and it didn't open in filebrowser this time
[23:36] <JoCo> gyaresu: i enabled repos anfter the fresh install, the repos got my nvidia driver and ever since i dled that driver and restarted ive been having sooo many problems
[23:36] <danny_> when I try to login to root, if I am even doing this right by type su it will not take my password says authentication failure. Wouldnt it be the same password I login with?
[23:36] <MoKor_899> Once you recompile your kernel, what is the best way to re-install the nvidia drivers? On ubuntu 7.10 you cannot change the run level to 3.  When trying to upgrade from breezy I'm now stuck with the following error everytime I try to invoke apt-get: "E: Malformed 3rd word in the status line" "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status" ...
[23:36] <JoCo> gyaresu: yea
[23:36] <nikrud> !sudo | danny_
[23:36] <ubotu> danny_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[23:37] <xjohnthomasx> nikrud: will that really have anything, if i already tried reinstalling everything gnome related?
[23:37] <nikrud> danny_ the root account is disabled by default
[23:37] <odysseybmx> danand_: how would I copy the files in the folder to my flash drive?
[23:37] <danny_> how do i enable it?
[23:37] <nikrud> xjohnthomasx it's where any custom menu stuff would be placed. Just the first place to look
[23:37] <nikrud> danny_   sudo -i  for root terminal
[23:38] <gyaresu> JoCo: Well if that's all you've done different. You could manually install the latest nvidia driver (with the knowledge that it'll break things when you upgrade to hoary). But if it gets you going then a reinstall for the new release is a good thing anyway.
[23:38] <danand_> odysseybmx - have you plugged in your flash drive?
[23:38] <odysseybmx> yeah
[23:38] <xjohnthomasx> xjohnthomasx: i havent modified anything custom. it was all freshly reinstalled last night, to try to alleviate this problem.. didnt work..
[23:38] <danny_> k thanks that worked so how do runa file in root now jsut sh then file name?
[23:38] <odysseybmx> well, more or less I need to open the bookmarks file
[23:38] <danny_> dir
[23:38] <odysseybmx> would it be bookmarks.html?
[23:38] <danand_> odysseybmx - do you know where its mounted - ie /media/....?
[23:38] <CopyWriter> lol, ok i changed the horizontal and vertical sync but now it doesn't go farther than running local boot script
[23:38] <nikrud> danny_ yes, you are in the equivalent of su -
[23:38] <JoCo> gyaresu: wait so should i reinstall ubuntu?
[23:38] <odysseybmx> danand_: no, how do I check?
[23:38] <gyaresu> srm: from breezy? You would be very well advised to do a backup and fressh install.
[23:38] <CopyWriter> i love playing around with this
[23:39] <LjL-Temp> srm, erm, i think i really should suggest installing a more recent version from scratch, rather than upgrading from breezy. breezy has been unsupported for a long time
[23:39] <odysseybmx> danand_: I know what it is now
[23:39] <srm> gyaresu: I know, but I wanted to give it a try without the ISO
[23:39] <danand_> odysseybmx - k
[23:39] <Sonderblade> what does mdadm do and do you need it?
[23:39] <gyaresu> JoCo: No.
[23:39] <dryder> may I re-ask, pls? I want to install another ubuntu on a separate hdd without interfering with any other grubs or mbr - but I don't want to unpolug drives to do it?
[23:39] <danny_> argh, i ran sh instal.sh and it just gives me areadme type file is that normal? IM installing the divxlabs for linux
[23:39] <LjL-Temp> srm: i think i'd declare the try failed :)
[23:39] <danand_> odysseybmx - then cp * /path/to/flash/disk
[23:39] <gyaresu> Sonderblade: RAID programme.
[23:39] <kakoonia> gyaresu : Thanks budd.. but just one more little question, lets say i got the firewire cable and all is pluged.. what should i do to make it show/download content?
[23:40] <srm> LjL-Temp: :) *leave no man behind!*
[23:40] <gyaresu> JoCo: You should pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:40] <nikrud> danny_ it would really depend on what the .sh file does.
[23:40] <amenado> dryder-> possible, go and install -- just select the different partition to mount as /
[23:40] <odysseybmx> danand_: the flash drive is two words with a space, and I get an error when I try to copy to it
[23:40] <gyaresu> kakoonia: Well you would probably run 'kino'
[23:40] <JoCo> gyaresu: how the hell would i go about that lol?
[23:40] <danny_> well it said to run it in  root and it would install the codec
[23:40] <gyaresu> kakoonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire
[23:41] <danny_> maybe it did let me see if its in acidrip
[23:41] <kakoonia> ok! Thanks dude.. ;)
[23:41] <gyaresu> kakoonia: start there. get cable. come back with questions :)
[23:41] <kakoonia> cool
[23:41] <JoCo> gyaresu: alright ill check that out thanks a lot
[23:41] <JoCo> wai
[23:41] <JoCo> lol
[23:41] <JoCo> gyaresu:
[23:41] <JoCo> oops
[23:41] <underdawg> how do I diagnose why my network just stopped working on my ubuntu all of the sudden (using active windows computer on network now)
[23:41] <underdawg> please pm me if you can help
[23:41] <pimplife> hey how can i change screen resolution in live cd so i can install ubuntu
[23:42] <oriez> how can i restore the default for the x config
[23:42] <gyaresu> JoCo: install programme pastebinit (if you have a connection)
[23:42] <JoCo> gyaresu: alright i think i have a start it might be like a 64-bit version that is screwing things up and i might reinstall 32 bit and see if that works
[23:42] <gyaresu> underdawg: best to keep questions in channel as you'll get more help. is it wired or wireless?
[23:43] <oriez> i change it and now i see green screen when i'm trying to boot ubuntu
[23:43] <gyaresu> JoCo: 32bit is the way to go. 64 just doesn't have accross the board support and really doesn't do anything better.
[23:43] <danny_> nope didnt put it in there unless livdv is the same as divx?
[23:43] <pimplife> how can i change screen resolution in live cd so i can install ubuntu
[23:44] <themime> what is this asking in laymans terms -> "Continue installing libc-client without Maildir support"
[23:44] <JoCo> gyaresu: how do i install 32 bit version, do i reDL the iso or is there an option on the livecd?
[23:44] <rahduke> please help, big problems: after a ctrl+alt+bksp i lost access to xserver, I get the following error when trying to boot ""Could not start Xserver due to some install error, contact system admin restart when problem corrected"..... so far i have tried to reconfigure xserver via  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg..... needless to say it didnt work
[23:44] <gyaresu> pimplife: You can always try the 'alternate' ubuntu install disk. It's the same but doesn't get you to a 'desktop' session so no gfx problems.
[23:44] <rahduke> im on a live cd right now
[23:44] <Guren> hi, how do i install ipx-utils
[23:45] <gyaresu> rahduke: can you pastebinit your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:45] <DragonulRosu> hello, I'm new to ubuntu and I can't install vmware-player, any advice ?
[23:45] <Guren> what's the package name?
[23:45] <oriez> i change the screen setting and now i see green screen when i'm trying to boot ubuntu
[23:45] <pimplife> which is that
[23:45] <nikrud> danny_ I don't know anything about that app. Since it's not in ubuntu you'd probably have better luck finding out about it on it's site or irc channel if it has one
[23:45] <rahduke> can u giv me instructions please?
[23:45] <rahduke> im on a live cd and im pretty new to linux
[23:45] <underdawg> gyaresu: my network connection is wired
[23:45] <underdawg> it all of the sudden stopped working
[23:46] <gyaresu> rahduke: You're on livecd now yes? So only one computer?
[23:46] <rahduke> yes
[23:46] <Sonderblade> why do i have devices in /dev/evms when i don't even have evms installed?
[23:46] <rahduke> i found the file
[23:47] <rahduke> what should i do with it gyaresu
[23:47] <igorgue> how can I autocomplete my apt?
[23:47] <SupaFly> autocomplete your apt?
[23:47] <igorgue> I remember that I set up something to do so
[23:47] <SupaFly> press tab twice you mean?.
[23:47] <igorgue> yeah
[23:48] <igorgue> for parameters
[23:48] <underdawg> how do I diagnose why my network just stopped working on my ubuntu all of the sudden (using active windows computer on network now) The connection is wired
[23:48] <igorgue> SupaFly: you know how?
[23:48] <SupaFly> sudo apt-get (tab) (tab) (list of options is shown) sort of thing?
[23:48] <rahduke> got it
[23:48] <rahduke> http://pastebin.com/m5d1da78d
[23:48] <igorgue> yeah
[23:48] <underdawg> how do I diagnose why my network just stopped working on my ubuntu all of the sudden (using active windows computer on network now) The connection is wired I can not even ping my router
[23:48] <igorgue> how?
[23:48] <rahduke> can someone take a look at that
[23:48] <SupaFly> just do that then
[23:48] <rahduke> ive completely lost access to xserver, im on a live cd right now
[23:48] <gyaresu> underdawg: open a terminal and type 'ifconfig'
[23:48] <Picipod> !repeat
[23:48] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[23:48] <SupaFly> igorue type this into terminal: sudo apt, then press the tab key twice
[23:48] <Tu13es> any suggestions for HTML/CSS editors?
[23:49] <igorgue> SupaFly: not working... I guess that I have to install something or change something in bashrc
[23:49] <Picipod> !HTML
[23:49] <ubotu> html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/

[23:49] <SupaFly> so nothing happens when you press tab key twice after typing sudo apt?
[23:49] <underdawg> gyaresu: do you want me to pastebin?
[23:49] <igorgue> nop
[23:49] <underdawg> wait
[23:49] <underdawg> can't lol
[23:49] <frost0> anyone know of a task manager app for gnome?
[23:49] <gyaresu> rahduke: Preface your comment with the persons name (in my case start typing gya and then hit the TAB key) It'll help for us to see the comment.
[23:49] <odysseybmx> apparently I did all this for no reason
[23:49] <frost0> it would be very helpful b/c i don't always know the names of the processes :(
[23:49] <odysseybmx> my system works again
[23:49] <oriez> i changed the screen setting and now i see green screen when i'm trying to boot ubuntu
[23:50] <odysseybmx> O_o
[23:50] <rahduke> oh thanks
[23:50] <igorgue> apt-get insp[tab][tab]
[23:50] <gyaresu> underdawg: nothing yet. is there anything under inet address?
[23:50] <igorgue> apt-get ins[tab][tab]
[23:50] <igorgue> also does not show any options
[23:50] <rahduke> gyaresu: http://pastebin.com/m5d1da78d thats my log file
[23:50] <underdawg> my inet address is a LAN addy <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:50] <themime> ok, i know what maildir is now, just read about it, but how do i know if i need it or not?
[23:51] <Administrateur> hiii
[23:51] <frost0> jrib, do you know of a task manager for gnome?
[23:51] <nikrud> themime maildir is very nice, each mail is in it's own file in real directories. Makes it easy to manipulate with tools other than your mail program.
[23:51] <underdawg> gyaresu: did you get that last one?
[23:51] <gyaresu> underdawg: k. well let's see if the router is talking to you. let's ask for an ip address 'sudo dhclient eth1' (if it's on eth1 it may be eth0)
[23:51] <SupaFly> what happens when you type "sudo" [tab] [tab]
[23:51] <Picipod> system-monitor in gnome is a task manager
[23:51] <themime> nikrud: why does this tutorial tell me to not have it?
[23:51] <hydrology> Greetings there, coming here as a last-resort :)
[23:51] <underdawg> ok thanks gy

[23:52] <shouden> Hey all, is anyone able to give me some tips on getting my USB headset working? I have it working on 7.10 but not 8.04. It records fine, but audio output still comes out my laptop speakers.
[23:52] <pimplife> how can i install ubuntu without having to use the live cd
[23:52] <mosty> i am having trouble booting the 7.10 live cd on my old duron machine, it boots and goes ok for a while, but when it's almost about to start X (i think- i can't see logs or anything...) it reboots and starts again. how can i find out why it's rebooting?
[23:52] <nikrud> themime could be it's a brain dead howto or program. That is, it depends on the context
[23:52] <hydrology> I'm going to describe a problem in the shortest manner as i know off :P)
[23:52] <hydrology> Used hardware: http://www.lex.com.tw:8080/product/CV700A.htm
[23:52] <hydrology> Setup: Diskless running of modified slackware 11.0. NFS mounted root on NAS trough nfs v3 TCP
[23:52] <igorgue> SupaFly: I had to install bash-complation
[23:52] <igorgue> :)
[23:52] <hydrology> Problem: cron does not execute any of it's jobs when it gets executed from the rc scripts during init 3. Whenever it get's 'restarted' by hand after init finished (so after bootup) cron does execute the jobs as it should do, but only after you manually restart it.
[23:52] <igorgue> thanks anyway
[23:52] <SupaFly> ah ok
[23:52] <hydrology> Tested software: fcron, dillons cron (dcron) and ucrond.
[23:52] <themime> hmm ok, thanks
[23:52] <hydrology> Okay, Does anybody have any clue? :)
[23:53] <nikrud> themime I keep all my mail in a maildir, and access it via imap. I can use any client and they see the same mail, I can move/rename folders on the command line and the clients respect it ... all kinds of nice things come from maildirs
[23:53] <underdawg> gyaresu: what do you want to know?
[23:53] <pimplife> were is the alternate ubuntu install disk
[23:54] <rahduke> gyaresu: are you checking that log out?
[23:54] <gyaresu> underdawg: did you run the 'sudo dhclient eth0' ?
[23:54] <underdawg> gyaresu: yes
[23:54] <gyaresu> rahduke: Yeah. No errors. Does the screen go completely black after startup?
[23:54] <underdawg> gyaresu: it said that there's no dhcpoffers received
[23:54] <rahduke> yes
[23:54] <rahduke> then when i ctrl+alt+del
[23:54] <underdawg> no working leases in persistend database
[23:54] <dryder> sorry ppl - I',m new to irc - - is there a way to filter out messages not answering my question? NOT impatient just the concentration is hard following it all :)  - read the docs on irc and couldn't see a reference to it ..
[23:55] <underdawg> i should tell you it's a wired connection that is connected to a buffalo router which is running in 'bridge' mode
[23:55] <rahduke> gyaresu: i get a blue screen with the following error "could not start xserver due to install error
[23:55] <gyaresu> underdawg: Ah. but when you then run ifconfig does it still have an ip address?
[23:55] <J3KYLL> hi i just installed ubuntu on a hd i bought today. i was wondering what can i do to change the resolution? right now its around 1200x ... my monitor is 1600x
[23:55] <rahduke> gyaresu: after ctrl+alt+del w/ black screen
[23:55] <Streifenhoernche> my kubuntu image always stops burning on 66% >-<
[23:55] <Flannel> dryder: Not really, no.  Just only read the ones that are highlighted (and as such, addressed to you), and before to highlight the people you're responding to.
[23:55] <Picipod> dryder: no, not really
[23:55] <underdawg> the inet address is a LAN addy instead of a WAN addy
[23:55] <prodigel>  Hi. I'm search for a client that can play sopcast channels. I was using gsopcast before, but now I want a better one. Can miro play those?
[23:55] <vlt> Hello. I want to install ubuntu on a machine w/o cdrom drive. What is the easiest way? (It can boot PXE and I have another machine here with dhcpd, tftpd, and nfs.)
[23:56] <Flannel> !install | vlt
[23:56] <ubotu> vlt: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[23:56] <vlt> Flannel: Thank you.
[23:56] <pimplife> gyaresu: how do i get the alternate instalation disk
[23:56] <underdawg> gyaresu: I've manually config'd my computer for that ip because my Buffalo isn't running DHCP - only my Netgear is (remember It's a wirelss bridge)
[23:56] <underdawg> this config has worked fine in the past
[23:56] <underdawg> it just broke
[23:56] <gyaresu> underdawg: well you may have set that statically. did you?
[23:56] <J3KYLL> hi i just installed ubuntu on a hd i bought today. i was wondering what can i do to change the resolution? right now its around 1200x ... my monitor is 1600x
[23:56] <gyaresu> pimplife: It's available from any of the mirrors.
[23:57] <underdawg> gyaresu: yes  - i should tell you I have an eth0:avah showing up?  it seems to be getting a 169.x.x.x ip
[23:57] <gyaresu> underdawg: Ah.
[23:57] <underdawg> is that pertinent
[23:57] <srm> hmmm....looks like it's working now :) removed the lock file, the status file and touched a clean one, the reconfigured dpkg and then the dist-upgrade worked...at least it didn't error out. Reboot and now fixing xorg :)
[23:57] <dryder> Flannel -Picipod - thx ...
[23:57] <gyaresu> underdawg: yessum.
[23:57] <mosty> how can i see kernel messages when the ubuntu livecd boots?
[23:57] <warddr> !resolution J3KYLL
[23:57] <Phlogi__> how is it possible that minefield uses a different font for its gui than ff? How can I configure that? The font size is different from gtk apps either.
