[15:54] <FallenStrife> actually got me confused with this vmware ^.^ you simply start up in windows and then you can use the other OS through vmware?
[15:54] <ekim|dt-linux> updating gdm still didn't fix it
[15:54] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: you can always stop vmware or uninstall it if you don't like it, so yes it is reversable
[15:55] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: vmware emulates additional physical machines within your machine
[15:55] <FallenStrife> so you turn it on then off whenever right?
[15:55] <Pc_Dark> How do I make my screen go to sleep after like 5minws
[15:55] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: yeah, shutdown the guest os and your ram is freed up
[15:55] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: yes
[15:55] <FallenStrife> hmmm sounds like the best way to try out ubuntu to me
[15:56] <bazhang> !it | kain
[15:56] <ubotu> kain: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[15:56] <Pc_Dark> How do I put my monitor to sleep?
[15:56] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: definetly for pure ease try the live cd and then you already have an installer that you can use for vmware if you like what you see
[15:56] <thevishy> ~jsp
[15:57] <Pc_Dark> How do I put my monitor to sleep?
[15:57] <FallenStrife> well im going to buy some cd-rs HOPEFULLY tonight but i really really really wanna try ubuntu now
[15:57] <mattwalston> Pc_Dark: we heard the first time, i was typing an answer but...
[15:57] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: you can try vmware without burning a cd, you can make it boot to an iso
[15:57] <FallenStrife> do i get vmware from vmware.com? lol
[15:57] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: good luck and AstralSin is right, just pick the iso
[15:57] <mzracer360> I'm reading up on a how-to on the forums.  One thing it mentions is: gedit ~/.filename.  what exactly is the ~ for?
[15:58] <Pc_Dark> FallenStrife, download VMWare Server or MS VirtualPC 2007
[15:58] <AstralSin> ~ signifies your home directory
[15:58] <FallenStrife> yeah i guess im gonna try this vmware to get a taste for ubuntu
[15:58] <Pc_Dark> I prefer MS VirtualPC 2007, it runs linux fine
[15:58] <Pc_Dark> VMWare asks for phone # and such, pain
[15:58] <AstralSin> vmware server is far more flexible though
[15:58] <Boglizk> mzracer360: ~ is your homefolder
[15:58] <eka> hi all
[15:58] <FallenStrife> i hate anything MS lol
[15:58] <AstralSin> vmware doesn't spam you, i can attest
[15:58] <Spydon> I have installed XP after ubuntu on my fathers computer, and then I reinstalled grub but how do I make an windows entry in the grub file so that I can boot up windows too?
[15:58] <eka> is ther VPN support in ubuntu?
[15:58] <mzracer360> ok thanks, also how do I know if I need to use /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom for my cd drive
[15:58] <mattwalston> vmware also wins in performance imho
[15:58] <Pc_Dark> AstralSin, I have found MS VirtualPC to perform better than Server.  VMWare Workstation is very nice, although
[15:58] <Pc_Dark> I'm not viased against Microsoft
[15:58] <mzracer360> opps or /dev/hdc
[15:59] <Pc_Dark> biased even
[15:59] <dec_flash> Hi everyone! I have a Ubuntu server running as a web server
[15:59] <FallenStrife> you can DL livecd to burn right?
[15:59] <picard_pwns_kirk> I'm having problems getting Flash to work
[15:59] <Pc_Dark> Anyhoo, can someone please answer me?
[15:59] <dec_flash> Although I can access web site but I cannot ping or connect SSH
[15:59] <AstralSin> Pc_Dark: did you install vmware tools in the guest?
[15:59] <dec_flash> can anybody help me out?
[15:59] <Boglizk> mzracer360: Well, hdc is for mounted harddrives. You should probably use cdrom
[15:59] <AstralSin> if you do that, vmware server performs much better
[15:59] <Pc_Dark> AstralSin, Let's see... 1) You have to or it's unusable
[16:00] <Pc_Dark> AstralSin, I prefer VirtualPC
[16:00] <FallenStrife> where can i DL vmware?
[16:00] <AstralSin> vmware.com
[16:00]  * Kronanius would like to know how to find out of his system is installed on "software raid".
[16:00] <Pc_Dark> VMWare Workstation > VirtualPC > VMware Server = Virtualbox
[16:00] <ekim|dt-linux> wait
[16:00] <dec_flash> can anybody help me with not being able to ping my Ubuntu server?
[16:00] <Kronanius> if*
[16:00] <ekim|dt-linux> vmware can boot my windows paritition
[16:00] <ekim|dt-linux> ?
[16:00] <David-A> picard_pwns_kirk: In firefox?
[16:00] <Pc_Dark> Kronanius, Did you set up software raid?
[16:00] <FallenStrife> CMware Player is what i need right?
[16:00] <AstralSin> ekim|dt-linux: it can't boto a particion now
[16:00] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: no, vmware server
[16:00] <Pc_Dark> FallenStrife, that will work
[16:00] <Kronanius> Pc_Dark: I really don't think that I did... but I might have
[16:00] <picard_pwns_kirk> David-A: yes
[16:01] <Pc_Dark> VMWare Player works
[16:01] <Pc_Dark> Kronanius, do you have multiple hard drives
[16:01] <AstralSin> vmware server is MUCH easier to configure
[16:01] <mattwalston> FallenStrife: no, get server unless someone has a virtual machine for you
[16:01] <Kronanius> Pc_Dark: nope
[16:01] <Pc_Dark> then you don't have software raid
[16:01] <FallenStrife> where do you get that at Astral all i could find is the player
[16:01] <Kronanius> Pc_Dark: okay thanks!
[16:01] <Pc_Dark> RAID only works if you have 2 or more hard drives
[16:01] <AstralSin> vmware.com/download/server
[16:01]  * Kronanius slaps his computer.
[16:01] <Pc_Dark> RAID-1 and RAID-0 work on 2 hard drives, RAID-5 requires 3, best with 4+
[16:01] <Ttech> AstralSin, does that work on linux?
[16:02] <AstralSin> iter: yep
[16:02] <picard_pwns_kirk> David-A: I'm using 32 bit Ubuntu on a 64 bit processor, if that makes any difference
[16:02] <Ximal> I have a sprint px-500 pantech modem card... Is there a file I need to be able to download to be able to use this card in linux ? because my install of ubuntu on my laptop is not showing or acknowledging the card itself..
[16:02] <AstralSin> er
[16:02] <AstralSin> itech
[16:02] <AstralSin> i use it all the time
[16:02] <Pc_Dark> How can I put my monitor to sleep on ubuntu? ???
[16:02] <ader10> Where is the gtk theme located?
[16:02] <picard_pwns_kirk> Pc_Dark: turn it off
[16:02] <Pc_Dark> no.
[16:02] <Pc_Dark> I want it to put the monitor to sleep after 5 mins of inactivity
[16:02] <Spydon> quit
[16:02] <picard_pwns_kirk> ah
[16:03] <AstralSin> Pc_Dark: it should do it automatically, otherwise go to System -> Preferences -> Screensaver
[16:03] <FallenStrife> AstralSin once i DL VMware server i simply install it and open and just load ubuntu 7.1?
[16:03] <picard_pwns_kirk> Pc_Dark: that would be under power management in the preferences menu
[16:03] <Ttech> AstralSin, did you have t compile it?
[16:03] <Kronanius> Pc_Dark: System -> Preferences -> Power management
[16:03] <Pc_Dark> Ah it's set to 35 minutes
[16:04] <AstralSin> Ttech: compile what, vmware? you have to compile the kernel modules but thats all, its very easy
[16:04] <David-A> picard_pwns_kirk: 64 might make a diff. No experience.
[16:04] <picard_pwns_kirk> David-A: thanks anyway
[16:04] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: fire it up, connect to localhost, add new virtual machine, go through the wizard
[16:04] <DM|> yeah picard_pwns_kirk yeah!
[16:04] <mzracer360> i have installed and configured abcde and installed lame, when I run abcde I get this error: [ERROR] abcde: id3v2 is not in your path.
[16:04] <mzracer360> i am running Ubuntu 7.10 server
[16:04] <Ttech> AstralSin, hmm
[16:05] <picard_pwns_kirk> I'm having problems installing flash
[16:05] <DM|> mzracer what is abcde?
[16:05] <picard_pwns_kirk> anyone else?
[16:05]  * Kronanius is hating on grub really heavily right now. Anybody know it thru and thru/
[16:05] <erUSUL> mzracer360: i guess you have to install it
[16:05] <mzracer360> text-based cd ripper
[16:05] <mattwalston> What is the best way to find out why dhcpd3-server init script will not start but dhcpd3 works fine?
[16:05] <FallenStrife> with VMware i have access to all my HDDs files without corrupting any of them right?
[16:05] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes: "The 'capplets-data' package contains data files (icons, pixmaps, locales files) needed by the configuration applets in the gnome-control-center package." What are 'configuration applets'?
[16:05] <DM|> mzracer 'sudo apt-cache search id3' see what comes up mentioning ed3v2 libs
[16:05] <mzracer360> erUSUL: I already did sude apt-get install abcde
[16:05] <DM|> id3v2**
[16:05] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: it creates virtual hard disks that is just a file, it uses that for the virtual machine's hard disk
[16:06] <DM|> picard_pwns_kirk: what is going on when you try to install it?
[16:06] <FallenStrife> so just anything on that virtual disk would be usable then eh?
[16:06] <erUSUL> !info id3 | mzracer360
[16:06] <AstralSin> yep
[16:06] <picard_pwns_kirk> DM|: I can install it, but it won't actually work
[16:06] <ubotu> mzracer360: id3: An ID3 Tag Editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.15-1 (gutsy), package size 10 kB, installed size 64 kB
[16:06] <Ximal> does anyone have the url to setting up pantech modem/cell cards ?
[16:07] <mikebeecham> Is there anyway that I can change the names of the menu items?
[16:07] <hwilde> Ximal, google.com
[16:07] <DM|> picard_pwns_kirk have u restarted X?
[16:07] <picard_pwns_kirk> DM|: I installed it yesterday
[16:07] <DM|> ah
[16:07] <FallenStrife> well if i make a livecd tonight can i just boot to cd and use my HDD files and all and not mess anything up ? or do i have to format XP and all?
[16:07] <hwilde> FallenStrife, just use the livecd it is so easy
[16:07] <FallenStrife> i will tonight hwilde just dont have the money atm
[16:07] <DM|> picard_pwns_kirk: 'sudo apt-get remove <NAME OF FLASH PACKAGE> --purge' and yry installing it again
[16:08] <bazhang> FallenStrife: no need to format--thus the livecd appellation
[16:08] <ekim|dt-linux> have any of you used mt-daapd
[16:08] <AstralSin> you won't even touch your real hard drives with vmware
[16:08] <picard_pwns_kirk> DM|: I'll try that
[16:08] <AstralSin> or use the livecd and boot to it
[16:08] <FallenStrife> cause i want to keep XP no matter if i use the livecd
[16:08] <erUSUL> mzracer360: works now?
[16:08] <DM|> AstralSin unless you share some folders
[16:08] <ekim|dt-linux> FallenStrife: livecds don't even know about your hard drive
[16:09] <FallenStrife> ? so none of my files would be usable? im confused on that 1 now
[16:09] <wild_oscar> anyone knows how to see which command ubuntu is executing when u press a laptop's function key?
[16:09] <AstralSin> DM|: i was referring more to the installation/running procedure but yes, you could share folders
[16:09] <AstralSin> FallenStrife: you're confusing me
[16:09] <Espan> yo
[16:09] <magnetron> FallenStrife: it can read them, but will not write to them
[16:09] <AstralSin> right
[16:09] <DM|> ekim|dt-linux: I dont know what live CDs you use, but Live CDs detect my hard drive, just dont mount them unless i double click them or run the mount command
[16:09] <AstralSin> you can read stuff from your windows hard drive while in the livecd
[16:09] <FallenStrife> ? magnetron so i can use them but i cant save anything?
[16:10] <mzracer360> erUSUL: still getting the same error
[16:10] <mikesco3> whenever i tipe this weird little box with stranɡe characters with a numbers popup, as if it was tryinɡ to assistme with typinɡ in a foreiɡn lanɡuaɡe
[16:10] <magnetron> FallenStrife: you CAN change them, but it will not do that by default
[16:10] <erUSUL> after installing id3 ?
[16:10] <FallenStrife> im lost now lol
[16:10] <FallenStrife> basically if i boot from a licecd i can use my files and play my games and all that such right?
[16:11] <ekim|dt-linux> DM|: that's not what I meant...

[16:14] <DM|> picard_pwns_kirk: ah, I heard there are some problems with that, have to have 32 bit FF on 64 bit os, its weird
[16:14] <astro76> dec_flash, it would be a device between your network card and the internet connection
[16:15] <dec_flash> I don't have intermediate device between my network card and internet connection

[16:16] <dec_flash> I used to be able to access ssh and ftp before
[16:17] <dec_flash> yeah may be they block other ports now
[16:17] <mikesco3> could somebody help me
[16:17] <astro76> dec_flash, did you change something or did it just stop workig?
[16:17] <dec_flash> but I can access to my server from the server machine itsefl by typing URL address not localhost
[16:18] <astro76> dec_flash, sounds like it is being blocked
[16:18] <mikesco3> could somebody please help me a bitʔ
[16:18] <astro76> dec_flash, did you add firewall rules?
[16:18] <dec_flash> no i remove iptables

[16:42] <Emof> I need urgent help! Suddenly, after a restart, my computer doesn't detect my nvidia graphics card anymore. I have not updated or done anything, so there is no reason for this to happen
[16:42] <Emof> do I have to download new drivers or something?
[16:42] <hwilde> !nvidia | Emof
[16:42] <ubotu> Emof: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:43] <hemcar_> have you got 3d acceleration ?
[16:43] <hemcar_> > glxinfo | grep direct ?
[16:43] <hemcar_> > direct rendering : yes ?
[16:44] <Emof> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[16:44] <hemcar_> had you install any nvidia driver ?
[16:44] <Emof> yes
[16:45] <Emof> hmm, seems like the driver had been disabled for some reason... I'll try a reboot
[16:45] <hemcar_> I think you need to purge the driver and install a new driver
[16:45] <hemcar_> try with restricted modules or donwload a new driver from nvidia
[16:45] <hemcar_> searching by you architecture
[16:47] <for123est> i can't move the mouse down on the lower screen
[16:48] <shamas> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48354/
[16:48] <Emof> reboot didn't work
[16:48] <jrib> shamas: you have to do it for every MIME Type you want.  You can see the mime type when you right click on a file and hit properties.  ATM, you only have x-msvideo and x-matroska set to mplayer
[16:48] <hemcar_> try from console :   sudo reboot now
[16:49] <Emof> when I start the computer I get the message that the system can't detect my graphic card
[16:49] <Zigara_> hello, im using audacious with alsa, and it seems my music will randomly glitchs and makes a odd sound, any ideas on how to fix this?
[16:49] <hemcar_> Emof, after install the nvidias driver
[16:49] <n08l3J> hello everyon
[16:49] <hemcar_> had you edit your xorg.conf ?
[16:49] <deladrien> hmm
[16:50] <Emof> at a previous boot I got the message that there was some incompatibility with the nvidia module and the driver or something
[16:50] <n08l3J> i have one question, i have Gusty and running smoothely, I can join the window's network using the samba,but is there anyway to navigate using command line ?
[16:51] <for123est> i can't move the mouse down the lower screen after using xrandr --below, Why?
[16:51] <hemcar_> > Emof: had you donwload the correct driver from nvidia ? (if you have 32bit or 64bit, its not the same)
[16:52] <shamas> jrib: but even the videos with these MIME types don't open in mplayer, they're going to Movie Player.  one thing to note is, the program that I last use to open a file is the one that is being used to open it.
[16:52] <Emof> Hemcar: yes, my card has been working perfectly for months
[16:52] <Michael_> I need help with Ubuntu real bad people.

[16:59] <keny_>  #Ubuntu-fr
[17:00] <Zigara_> who can suggest a good music player?
[17:00] <flyback-> FallenStrife:
[17:00] <flyback-> YES
[17:00] <flyback-> vmware owns your "canuck"
[17:00]  * flyback- kicks the nearest canadian
[17:00] <riotkittie> Zigara_: good depends on your personal taste. what are you looking for, in particular, featurewise.
[17:00] <flyback-> FallenStrife: I can't wait to try the beta 2
[17:00] <FallenStrife> flyback it asked for a serial number which do i need?
[17:00] <Zigara> riotkittie, well i like audacious, but for some reason it glitches my music
[17:00] <flyback-> fallen yes but it's free from www.vmware.com :)
[17:00] <flyback-> you can ask for as many as you want
[17:01] <hemcar_> Emof: but to use the restricted driver included in Ubuntu, you have to purge last you install
[17:01] <FallenStrife> you can get the SNs there?
[17:01] <riotkittie> Zigara: glitches... like random skips and such?
[17:01] <flyback-> yes
[17:01] <Zigara> riotkittie, just need a simple player with playlists
[17:01] <hemcar_> so first purge the nvidia driver you installed before
[17:01] <Zigara> riotkittie, yeah kinda, its like a weird sound
[17:01] <flyback-> vmware server, vmware player, and vmware converter basic are 100% free
[17:01] <neumind> how change cursors theme?
[17:01] <Emof> how do I do that?
[17:01] <flyback-> FallenStrife:  I am going to setup a small windows 2000 or xp vm just for those 1-2 apps I can't not have
[17:02] <riotkittie> Zigara: may not be the player but an issue with ALSA or something. every player used to do that to me. uhm but decent alternatives to audacious = xmms or beep-media-player
[17:02] <flyback-> but already switched my 2 main desktops to linux
[17:02] <Zigara> riotkittie, but totem plays it fine
[17:02] <FallenStrife> hmm i dont see where to get a SN on there
[17:02] <Zigara> riotkittie, how did you fix it?
[17:02] <flyback-> hang on I will find it for y ou
[17:02] <hemcar_> first of all, im newbie so try to listen another opinion.
[17:02] <FallenStrife> i wanna test out ubuntu before i swap over to it
[17:02] <flyback-> absolutely
[17:02] <hemcar_> mine: first: kill x-server
[17:02] <flyback-> vmwqare is excellent for that
[17:02] <Michael_> Can I please speak to someone urgently, about my copy of Ubuntu 7.10
[17:02] <ximpul> Zigara: also, see if you can change the audio engine, for me xine on amarok "glitched"  as well
[17:02] <flyback-> we blow s*** up at work on purpose
[17:02] <hemcar_> with control+alt+F2 for example
[17:03] <flyback-> to test out customer fixes before actually doing it
[17:03] <hemcar_> next:

[17:04] <ximpul> Zigara: i would say, whatever works
[17:04] <hemcar_> so, try to edit xorg.conf, for start x-server next time

[17:04] <Emof> how do I know the name of the driver?
[17:04] <jerome_dk> hi guys, I just installed flashplugin-nonfree using apt-get install but for some reason neither Firefox nor Opera seems to find the plugin. Using Firefox's 'install missing plugin'-menu it says that the package is already installed. Any suggestions how I can make it work?
[17:04] <flyback-> that's really just a survey for them
[17:04] <ximpul> Zigara: it may be different for your  hardware
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Michael_: And CAPS will get you ignored..
[17:04] <hemcar_> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:04] <Zigara> ximpul, okay thanks
[17:04] <FallenStrife> o ^.^
[17:04] <Zigara> riotkittie, thanks for the help
[17:04] <flyback-> FallenStrife:  #vmware :)
[17:04] <Michael_> Yeah, but when I install the LiveCD and boot from the HDD with 7.10 installed the error still appears. Sorry about the CAPS, never ment it.
[17:04] <tekteen> jerome_dk: do u have a 64 bit computer
[17:04] <jerome_dk> tekteen: no
[17:05] <igge> anyone who knows a tutorial on playing commercial dvds?
[17:05] <flyback-> igge lots of them out there
[17:05] <tekteen> jerome_dk: did u restart firefox?
[17:05] <jerome_dk> tekteen: yes
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Michael_: the livecd ran and installed fine?
[17:05] <kromcuich> how can i change my graphics card to show resolution on docking station monitor at 1280x1024?
[17:05] <hemcar_> change graffics driver nvidia to "vesa"
[17:05] <igge> flyback: do you know one that works?
[17:05] <wols> kromcuich: xrandr perhaps?
[17:05] <hemcar_> and reboot: sudo reboot now
[17:05] <igge> pleeease...
[17:05] <ximpul> Michael_: can you try booting with noapic ?
[17:05] <foso> hey all, im having trouble changing the bg color behind the splash screen, any ideas?
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Michael_: and now has error trying to boot the HD installation which has not yet worked
[17:06] <JoelR> Zigara: which one do you recommend me?
[17:06] <hemcar_> when you start the x-server session next time
[17:06] <flyback-> igge I have not tried to play dvd's in linux yet
[17:06] <wols> !dvd | igge
[17:06] <ubotu> igge: 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
[17:06] <Michael_> Both LiveCD and installation say this: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC. Once it is passed that it goes fine. As for the flags, I've used them all several times.
[17:06] <hemcar_> you can use the nvidia driver with restricted modules
[17:06] <flyback-> actually bro any of the players that usually come with linux now can do it you might have to install a non free codec but that's it
[17:06] <flyback-> ugh
[17:06] <Emof> ok, I'll try that
[17:06] <tekteen> jerome_dk: can u paste the output of the program "sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree"

[17:17] <rsk> nickrud: otherwise it wouldnt be so smart reinstall just to find that i get the same version.
[17:17] <ekimus> flyback-: so instead of getting the full experience they should get a virtualized version that is slower, will never have an accelerated desktop and requires addiotal 50MB of download? - sorry but I disagry
[17:17] <nickrud> rsk, no, but it can be installed easily, flashplugin-nonfree
[17:17] <ekimus> disagree*

[17:18] <nickrud> tekteen, you can add it to system->preferences->session
[17:18] <kitche> tekteen: umm you can't run it from an init script you can run it though when the user logins
[17:18] <tej> how to i install the pidgin
[17:18] <jrib> SpookyET: yes
[17:18] <ekimus> Mark761966: all those should be in your path anyway

[17:19] <enterneo> tej: hi
[17:19] <brobostigon> sudo apt-get install pidgin
[17:19] <tej> hello
[17:19] <SpookyET> jrib: When I select it, it does not apply it. I do see it when I login again
[17:19] <nickrud> tekteen, erm, live cd? you 'd have to rewrite the cd first though
[17:19] <lufis> Anyone get horizontal scrolling working on logitech Lx3?
[17:19] <ekimus> so noone is using ubuntu+firefox in enterprise environments?
[17:19] <tej> can any guide me to install pidgin?
[17:19] <ximpul> or use the add/remove item from the menu in the upper left :)
[17:19] <jrib> SpookyET: it's supposed to, I don't know why it would not.  Try #compiz-fusion too
[17:19] <tekteen> nickrud: Yes I am a little passed that
[17:19] <rsk> tej: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[17:19] <enterneo> tej: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[17:19] <tekteen> nickrud: I have it running
[17:19] <nickrud> SpookyET, I would do that with alt-f2 emerald-replace
[17:19] <foso> can anyone tell me how to change the splash background color from the stock tan/pink?
[17:19] <ekimus> tej: just install it with synaptic
[17:20] <guillaume> Hello

[17:20] <tjl11> !hello
[17:20] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[17:20] <nickrud> tekteen, then adding it to the session would start it on login

[17:20] <baya> how customizable is gnome? in terms of other window mangers?
[17:20] <nickrud> SpookyET, sorry, typo (laptop on lap)  emerald --replace
[17:20] <brobostigon> tej: sysnaptic, or sudo apt-get install pidgin into cli
[17:21] <tekteen> nickrud: gnome is not installed (nor kde)
[17:21] <NooBBoon> Hello. I try: "sudo apt-get source linux-source-2.6.22" and get error "E: You don't have enough free space in ." (Just the period there). Disk is 750G with 25G to boot, 25G to swap and 700G to home. Any help?
[17:21] <Mark761966> Someone url me
[17:21] <SpookyET> nickrud, it worked. Should not it do it automatically?
[17:21] <ekimus> tej: just use synaptic that's a GUI for managing packages
[17:21] <baya> as in, i think i want to custimize some non-standard things, say the position of the context menu on right clicking items in the system tray? is that doable with gnome?
[17:21] <nickrud> SpookyET, I would agree, but since I have an ati I haven't really investigated the problem, I need suspend so no fglrx
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> baya: very easy to add themes.... and make changes.. you can also have multiple WM's installed and select which you want under options at boot
[17:21] <nickrud> tekteen, then I guess you should describe your need in more detail
[17:21] <Emof> My nvidia card is still not detected. Even though the restricted drivers tells me it is enabled
[17:22] <tej> ekimus : where do i find syp???
[17:22] <tekteen> nickrud: ok
[17:22] <tekteen> nickrud: When the disk starts up I want it to run my menu script
[17:22] <baya> Jack_Sparrow: it's merps, you helped me out yesterday, if you remember
[17:22] <Mark761966> Have you ever considered having more than one room for tech support?
[17:22] <Mark761966> 1216 people is ludicrous
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> NooBBoon: 25 gig to swap is a complete waste..  more like 2gig is needed.
[17:22] <SpookyET> nickrud: I'm in the same boat, though I chose not to use suspend.
[17:22] <brobostigon> tej: system menu/ admin / sysnaptic
[17:22] <brobostigon> synaptic
[17:23] <tekteen> nickrud: If possible I would like to auto switch to virtual terminal 2
[17:23] <NooBBoon> JackSparrow: alright, I will adjust that then once I find out how (I am total newbie)
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> baya: yes..
[17:23] <Emof> do I really have to reinstall to make this work? :(
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> NooBBoon: no need to adjust until the next time you need to make a change
[17:23] <Jacob> any idea how long it should take to apply a repartition of a drive?
[17:23] <nickrud> tekteen, ok, that's over my head, I've never written stuff that controlled logins and the like
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> NooBBoon: changing one partition will change all your uuid's and be more trouble than it is worth at this point
[17:24] <sebrock> can anybody please tell me watch going wrong here: http://www.pastebin.ca/817345
[17:24] <baya> so say, the position of the context menu when right clicking on the window list in a panel, can that be changed? I know I'm being picky, but it does annoy me
[17:24] <NooBBoon> Jack_Sparrow: alright, I will make note of that. Thank you.
[17:24] <Jacob> i just made a couple of changes and it says "applying pending operations" but nothing is happening

[17:28] <Ximal> hmm .. nickrud .. my ultimate goal would be to get the phonecard from sprint to work .. it is a usb bridged pantech modem
[17:28] <nickrud> erisco, if you still have the dir you compiled it in, make uninstall is *supposed* to remove it
[17:29] <Ximal> is there a way to get linux to notice it's there nickrud ?
[17:29] <junkeR> hey, what ports does gnome bittorrent use by default??
[17:29] <tej> does it make a different if im running a virtual machine?
[17:29] <nickrud> wy, that's in linux-restricted-modules
[17:29] <theone> question: I have handmade mirc script with mirc file for windows, is it possible to be compiled for ubntu?
[17:29] <ximpul> junkeR: 6881 iirc
[17:29] <nickrud> Ximal, I'll give you a link to some pages that should walk you through it
[17:29] <erisco> nickrud, no uninstall file, hmm
[17:29] <junkeR> is that the only port?
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> tej: that info is always needed
[17:29] <Ximal> thank u nick..

[17:30] <diablos_raven> tej: you should try pidgin its worked for me this far and its a wonderful program
[17:30] <erisco> nickrud, all the install has done is copy the compiled source into another directory...
[17:30] <ximpul> junkeR: prolly, i think that gnome-bittorrent is a front end to regular bittorennt
[17:30] <erisco> nickrud, if I remove that directory is all good?
[17:30] <tej> will it make a difference if im running on a virtual machine?
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tej: running a virtual machine
[17:30] <tej> raven: it just does not seen to work?
[17:31] <diablos_raven> tej: what os

[17:42] <k1dugar> ikonia: Well what can I install to use something like IPsec
[17:42] <Emof> how do I find that?
[17:42] <erisco> I have a question about /usr/. From what I understand it contains all of my installed packages
[17:42]  * nickrud remembers being able to read the text as it came over the modem, and being *thrilled*
[17:42] <ikonia> k1dugar: explain what you want to do
[17:42] <ikonia> erisco: not quite, but sort of, ask your question
[17:42] <erisco> so if I backup /usr/ and plug it into a new install... will all my old programs still work?
[17:42] <ikonia> Emof: look in the xorg log file
[17:42] <erisco> if I just completely replace /usr/?
[17:42] <ikonia> erisco: no, thats not the case
[17:43] <ikonia> erisco: that won't work
[17:43] <Emof> sorry, I'm kind of new, so I don't know what that file is called
[17:43] <erisco> ikonia, okay.
[17:43] <ikonia> Emof: /var/log/X.0log
[17:43] <wy> nickrud: Strange. I don't even have that directory. Did you install it from a package?
[17:43] <ikonia> Emof: /var/log/X.0.log
[17:43] <nickrud> !clone | erisco (this will remember your install, and recreate it)
[17:43] <ubotu> erisco (this will remember your install, and recreate it): To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[17:43] <enterneo> ikonia: thanks, and do I have to keep searching my screenname in this window for the messages I recieve or is there an alternative available ?
[17:43] <k1dugar> ikonia: I think you know about Windows IPsec Policy to define IP security tunnel
[17:43] <erisco> nickrud, thanks, all I needed
[17:43] <erisco> ikonia, thanks
[17:44] <ikonia> k1dugar: I know the basics, what do you actually want to do
[17:44] <ikonia> enterneo: yes, you have to keep an eye on your screen name
[17:44] <nickrud> wy I find it in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko
[17:45] <wy> nickrud: Now I found one in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko. Hmmm... So I guess it will be copied to that directory after restart
[17:45] <jga23> whats the easiest way to set up an smtp server in gusty?  I just want jobs to send update emails to me
[17:45] <enterneo> ikonia: I used chatzilla earlier, and there was a seperate window that used to throw all my screenname specific messages there, however in pidgin nothing of that sort I can see
[17:45] <Emof> I can't seem to find any relevant information in the log file...
[17:45] <ikonia> enterneo: I don't believe thats possible in xchat
[17:46] <wy> nickrud: Oh, can you find /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko ?
[17:46] <ikonia> Emof: please do "grep EE /var/log/X.0.log" and put the output in a pastebin

[17:47] <nickrud> wy, and that's where I expected it with the ubuntu driver (memory finally kicked in)
[17:47] <enterneo> ikonia: thanks !
[17:47] <nebj00la> ikonia: so it doesn't matter which distro, right?
[17:47] <ikonia> nebj00la: prett much

[17:47] <Ubuntu_Byte[]> what i do to see flash plugin with my firefox?
[17:47] <Ttech2> yea
[17:47] <Gachuk> hi
[17:48] <Ttech2> huh?
[17:48] <sailing> hello,every one
[17:48] <nebj00la> cool thx, i'm going to try ubuntu... i've been using fc, rhel, suse...
[17:48] <ximpul> nebj00la: its better in terms of not having to setup your system too much for hardware compatibility
[17:48] <nickrud> Ubuntu_Byte[], navigate to something with flash, firefox should ask to install flash
[17:48] <ikonia> !flashissue
[17:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flashissue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:48] <Ubuntu_Byte[]> nickrud, i have architetture 64, is a problem?
[17:48] <ikonia> !flashissues
[17:48] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. A fix is in -proposed
[17:48] <nickrud> it's gone from the topic also
[17:48] <ximpul> nebj00la:  compared to a lot of others and your particular hardware this may be a non-issue
[17:48] <wy> nickrud: I'm back. It seems to work
[17:48] <nickrud> Ubuntu_Byte[], oh, yes, you gotta jump through hoops
[17:49] <Ttech2> -proposed?>
[17:49] <nickrud> !flash64 | Ubuntu_Byte[]
[17:49] <ubotu> Ubuntu_Byte[]: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[17:49] <Ttech2> there is an alternative
[17:49] <Ttech2> Only 64 bit??
[17:49] <Gachuk> I was wondering if someone could help me, i've been trying to install ubuntu onto my mini-itx machine, but unfortuantly it can't find my DVD Drive. I have been trying to install from a USB Flash stick, while ive got it to boot, it still tries to read from the CD Drive, in addition I cant seem to mount the flash drive to the cdrom in order to get it to work, anyone have any ideas (ubuntu 7.10)
[17:49] <ikonia> Ttech2: pardon ?
[17:49] <nebj00la> ximpul: dual 8800gtx, striker extreme 680i...
[17:49] <nickrud> Ttech2, no, flash on 64bit is harder, on 32bit is brain dead
[17:50] <Emof> ikonia: did that output mean anything to you?
[17:50] <franco_> sera
[17:50] <ikonia> Emof: what error do you get when you reboot ubuntu and x tries to start
[17:50] <Ttech2> ooh
[17:50] <wy> nickrud: Can you use compiz with this driver?
[17:50] <phibxr> shouldn't the flashissue be mentioned in topic again? i guess that'd relieve the channel of some questions.
[17:50] <franco_> hi
[17:50] <Ttech2> But htrer is an alternatvie that woks great
[17:50] <Ttech2> Since I could mot install flash
[17:51] <SpookyET> Is it possible to disable emerald without uninstalling it?
[17:51] <Emof> ikonia: it says something like "your graphics card and driver could not be detected"
[17:51] <ikonia> Emof: can you get me the exact message please.
[17:51] <ximpul> nebj00la: seems like a pretty high end system, ubuntus handling of "restricted" drivers may be a non-complex way of handling it compared to redhat and or suse
[17:51] <chazco> Hi... anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ?
[17:51] <k1dugar> ikonia: Can you tell me how can have encrypted connection with other clients computer running windows. They have IPsec policy define to accept traffic from only through it.
[17:51] <Emof> that's the message, and then the displayconfig-gtk starts so I can try to configre the card
[17:52] <nickrud> nebj00la, if you can't get it working on your machine, you could mail it to me, I think I can ...
[17:52] <ikonia> k1dugar: depends how you want to connect
[17:52] <Emof> and the system starts in low graphics mode
[17:52] <heatmzzr> anyone familiar with mutt?

[18:00] <nickrud> FallenStrife, that's the one
[18:00] <Ttech2> FallenStrife, huh?
[18:00] <jagatuba_> should I change that
[18:00] <rsk> FallenStrife: that is the one
[18:00] <ikonia> rsk: please don't advise that at the moment
[18:00] <FallenStrife> oo ok
[18:01] <rsk> ikonia: why?
[18:01] <ikonia> rsk: because the package is currently broke
[18:01] <Ttech2> its boken
[18:01] <rsk> it installed fine for me
[18:01] <Ttech2> Use

[18:01] <rsk> FallenStrife: yes it does
[18:01] <n08l3J> or anywhere on the system where the mounted share can be found
[18:01] <Ttech2> Gnash SWF player
[18:02] <nickrud> FallenStrife, yes, although that sounds like one of the extra addons
[18:02] <rsk> ikonia: ok didn't do that for me

[18:04] <FallenStrife> depends how rsk?

[18:05] <Xima1> thanks guys !
[18:05] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: messengers is easy, use Gaim or similar. Don't expect advanced features to always work.
[18:05] <FallenStrife> i dont know ubuntu at all im on XP now and really just Xfire CSS and WoW
[18:05] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: games... Don't expect DirectX games to work.
[18:05] <nickrud> jagatuba_, system->admin->users & groups, add her to the video group (and others as needed)
[18:05] <kelsin> jagatuba_: make sure her groups are the same as yours, you can see groups by typing "groups <username>"
[18:05] <Manolo8> «gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat» pipeline error when testing audio. Any suggestion please?

[18:05] <FallenStrife> =0
[18:06] <jagatuba_> k let me check this out
[18:06] <kelsin> FallenStrife: you might have issues with WoW and other windows programs, getting them to run can be really easy and could be different, as a side note it is 7.10 (for 2007 October) not 7.1
[18:07] <FallenStrife> well i head ppl say earlier that WoW would work fine
[18:07] <n08l3J> !samba
[18:07] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[18:07] <kelsin> FallenStrife: but recently for me, getting wow to work has meant installing wine right from ubuntu repos (sudo apt-get install wine) and then copying over and windows copy of wow and running it
[18:07] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: Wine might be a solution. But it could be a bit of a pain. Google is your friend.
[18:07] <FallenStrife> if WoW CSS and Xfire would work i would be fine and Ventrilo ofcourse
[18:07] <foso> how can i get ubuntu to load faster?
[18:07] <cleaton> good luck on ventrilo FallenStrife
[18:07] <FallenStrife> ?
[18:07] <KalEl> how did you make it slow?
[18:07] <rsk> foso: get a faster computer
[18:08] <nickrud> FallenStrife, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[18:08] <foso> rsk gee thanks
[18:08] <rsk> FallenStrife: ventrilo dosent work, the rest does
[18:08] <FallenStrife> yeah thats the 1 i saw earlier that lin
[18:08] <FallenStrife> link*
[18:08] <jagatuba_> I don't see a video group, and I would like to keep her privileges limited. In other words I want her to have the same functionality as me, but not administrative privileges.
[18:08] <foso> rsk:ive got the max mem allowable on my laptop(1280) and ubuntu has 50gb, most of it free
[18:08] <cleaton> ventrilo has had a linux client in development since 2002 or 2003 i think
[18:09] <kelsin> jagatuba_: when you type "groups <yourname>" and "groups <wifename>" in a terminal what groups are you in that she's not?
[18:09] <cleaton> i don't think they'll ever release it....
[18:09] <foso> rsk: and 2.8 ghz pentium4
[18:09] <FallenStrife> ventrilo has a linux dowload but it doesnt working on ubuntu?
[18:09] <KinPumpkinKing> FallenStrife,  CSS also works, as far as I know

[18:10] <Cr3ature> yea
[18:10] <Cr3ature> ventrilo works
[18:10] <cleaton> but the problem is when you run whine or vmware is that push to talk wont work
[18:10] <kelsin> FallenStrife: is dualbooting for wow not an option? it might be easier, esp if you need all this for a guild and stuff
[18:10] <cleaton> you can get it to work if you are lucky
[18:10] <FallenStrife> i keep hearing wine EVERYWHERE with sooo many ppl lol is it just a program that you run and you run programs off of it?
[18:10] <cleaton> using some hacks
[18:10] <jagatuba_> jeff@jeff-desktop:~$ groups jeff
[18:10] <jagatuba_> jeff : jeff adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev
[18:10] <jagatuba_> jeff@jeff-desktop:~$ groups holly
[18:10] <jagatuba_> holly : holly adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip plugdev scanner fuse
[18:11] <hwilde> when I burn cdaudio using k3b it cannot be played in any other cd player... anybody know the secret
[18:11] <[gquit]bombadil> wine is a compatibility layer that lets you run windows programs in linux
[18:11] <nickrud> jagatuba_, sudo adduser holly video
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine | FallenStrife:
[18:11] <kelsin> FallenStrife: wine is a implementation of the windows API, so when it works it works really nicely, but it doesn't work with every program in the world
[18:11] <ubotu> FallenStrife:: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[18:11] <FallenStrife> well kelsin dualbooting would work but i have no clue how to go about setting all thatup
[18:11] <wy> Anyone using compiz with the fglrx driver from ubuntu?
[18:11] <KinPumpkinKing> FallenStrife, yeah, it runs windows programs
[18:11] <hwilde> !wine | FallenStrife
[18:11] <ubotu> FallenStrife: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[18:11] <cleaton> lol
[18:11] <NooBBoon> A first timer just got 7.10 installed with GeForce 6600GTS card working! Thanks to all in this channel that helped me over the last several hours! :)
[18:11] <Iwanowitch> Wine is popular here or what?
[18:11] <flyback-> NooBBoon:  go on with your bad self :)
[18:11] <cleaton> i like mumble, i think mumble works great
[18:12] <cleaton> teamspeak is kinda old now, but teamspeak 3.0 seems to be nice
[18:12] <cleaton> when they release it
[18:12] <jagatuba_> So that should do it then?
[18:12] <hwilde> !pulse
[18:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pulse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:12] <FallenStrife> besides dualbooting with a 40gb HDD would suck lol
[18:12] <kelsin> FallenStrife: well if you really need xfire, wow and css dualbooting might be the better option, once you get more familiar with linux then you start screwing around with running wow in wine without messing up your raiding schedule
[18:12] <kelsin> FallenStrife: true, it would, but possible
[18:12] <figuringout> hi, running dapper - I installed sun-java6 via apt-get. Now I need to set my JAVA_HOME for a program. I don't know where my SDK is. any help?
[18:13] <FallenStrife> wouldnt it just be easier to use a livecd for now? and simply take it out for games and such?
[18:13] <mikebeecham> is the difference between all the distros, more about desktop and 'feel'
[18:13] <mattwalston> What's new in virtualization?  Should I go with vmware-server or xen on gutsy?
[18:13] <tej> people I LOVE LINUX
[18:14] <kelsin> figuringout: should be something like /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
[18:14] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: you can't safe anything with a livecd, unless you use complicated stuff like USB sticks and all that
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: that is one of many, how apps are packaged is another..
[18:14] <figuringout> kelsin: i have this
[18:14] <FallenStrife> well i really just want to get used to ubuntu before i install it or dualboot with it or anything really
[18:14] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: but if you just want to get a feeling for it, go ahead.
[18:14] <figuringout> kelsin "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/"
[18:15] <FallenStrife> with a livecd you get all the eye candy and all right?
[18:15] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: only reason I ask is because of my mate talking about Mint, then there's all the ubuntu / Kubuntu differences, etc
[18:15] <mikebeecham> it's easy to get confused
[18:15] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: Normally, yes
[18:15] <jagatuba_> how come she has groups in her list (fax, tape, fuse) that aren't in my list?
[18:15] <FallenStrife> where can i get the livecd iso or however you set that up?
[18:15] <nickrud> gotta admit, ubuntu does make it easy to start compiz on fglrx now
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: you can easily add other wm's to your install
[18:15] <[gquit]bombadil> whats the name of that dock that looks like the OSX dock? its name has three letters and starts with S i think
[18:15] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: wm = windows managers?
[18:16] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: the live cd = the install cd
[18:16] <kelsin> jagatuba_: I don't know about that, but you're in the video group and she is not, so there is your original problem
[18:16] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: it runs Ubuntu and has an option to install it
[18:16] <FallenStrife> oo so just boot from disk when i start up and it will just start on it?
[18:16] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: yep
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: for example, you can add kubuntu-desktop to your ubuntu install and select either under options when you login
[18:16] <rsk> FallenStrife: correct
[18:16] <sivaji> is there anyone having problem with knetworkmanager ?
[18:16] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: at the moment I am running Gutsy 7.10....enjoying it immensely...just want to make sure I am not missing out somehow :D
[18:16] <FallenStrife> oo heh good cause i didnt wanna spend another hour dling another iso
[18:16] <sivaji> knetworkmanager is not wokring ,it says no active device found , my /var/log/syslog file is here http://pastebin.com/f40078a4c
[18:17] <cleaton> [gquit]bombadil , you mean avant window navigator?
[18:17] <FallenStrife> i guess ill just try that tonight for now
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: gnome - kde - ice - E17   and lots of others
[18:17] <[gquit]bombadil> cleaton: maybe, i'm going to google it
[18:17] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: good luck & have fun :)
[18:17] <FallenStrife> when i use the livecd can i set up xfire and all that sort of thing on it ? but it wont be there next time right?
[18:17] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: which ones should I really watch out for?  And can i remove a wm when I am satisfied it has nothing further to offer me?
[18:17] <nickrud> is there a way to reset the 'must restart computer notification area icon'
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: First I would suggest a quick backup
[18:17] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: how?
[18:17] <jagatuba_> true, and the ones in her list that aren't in mine are not really important any way since we don't have or use a fax or a tape (drive?) and I don't even know what is meant by fuse.
[18:17] <cleaton> FallenStrife, as long as you have enough ram
[18:18] <FallenStrife> ooo so it just saves it all in ram then eh?
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: Sometimes things are a lot harder to undo than they are to install... which is why I suggested a backup
[18:18] <cleaton> FallenStrife, when you start a live cd, it uses your ram to store stuff
[18:18] <FallenStrife> ugh be better off just dualbooting lol
[18:18] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: is there a 'newbie' way to backup?
[18:18] <mikebeecham> :S
[18:18] <FallenStrife> 768 isnt anywhere near enough
[18:18] <cleaton> FallenStrife, yes, that is the idea of a live system, to set up a virtual disk on your ram
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup | mikebeecham
[18:18] <ubotu> mikebeecham: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: One line in a cli will do it for you
[18:19] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: cli?
[18:19] <mikebeecham> command line.....?
[18:19] <FallenStrife> how do you dualboot? simply format and create apartition and put 1 OS on each partition?
[18:19] <Manolo8> «gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat» pipeline error when testing audio. Any suggestion please?
[18:19] <Iwanowitch> interface
[18:19] <Tyczek> I changed to 32-bit ubuntu and flash isn't working too...
[18:19] <cleaton> FallenStrife, what were you planning to do?
[18:19] <Tyczek> ;/
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> slipttees: I would like to pubically appologize for earlier ban.. with this many users we do need to keep a tighter control than a lot of smaller channels
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: yes...
[18:19] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: just follow the install guide on the disk
[18:19] <FallenStrife> well cleaton i want to try ubuntu out to start with but i dont wanna get stuck with it or any of that
[18:20] <kitche> Tyczek: some people still are having issues it seems with flash it was broken for a while
[18:20] <jagatuba_> It's kind of nice having a support chat at your fingertip. To get chat support with the evil OS sometimes you wait for hours. Does the channel run 24/7? I assume that it does.
[18:20] <cleaton> FallenStrife, if you have xp first ubuntu should notice it and help you make a dualboot setup
[18:20] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: ooooh simple suite backup :D
[18:20] <mikebeecham> a GUI
[18:20] <mikebeecham> just what I need :D
[18:20] <FallenStrife> well right now i have 2 copies of XP on this HDD ^.^
[18:20] <CoasterMaster> jagatuba_, yeah, people are here generally 24/7
[18:20] <KaZeR> hi there
[18:20] <FallenStrife> i NEED to format lol 2 of them are corrupted
[18:20] <cleaton> FallenStrife, it should notice both ^^
[18:20] <s2a> is there a gui way of having aircrack-ng run on ubuntu?
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: I need to take the dog for a walk...     take care everyone...
[18:20] <Tyczek> kitche: Can I do something by myself ?
[18:20] <jagatuba_> Nice
[18:20] <kitche> Tyczek: install flash from adobe site
[18:20] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: thanks fella..later
[18:20] <jagatuba_> I work weird hours
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham: tar cvpzf backupdell.tgz --exclude=/backupdell.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found  --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/root/.Trash -- /        is my backup command... yours will be different
[18:21] <FallenStrife> the only real issue is that WoW is like a day of DLing and installing alone ....
[18:21] <cleaton> FallenStrife, well if you want to have a dual boot, you have to install windows first because windows kinda destroy the ubuntu installation if you install ubuntu first
[18:21] <Emof> ikonia: still here?
[18:21] <kelsin> FallenStrife: copy it from windows
[18:21] <kelsin> FallenStrife: no reason to run the install in linux
[18:21] <KaZeR> in control panel, i have "cant load monitor & display module" what can i do?
[18:21] <FallenStrife> copy it from linux?
[18:21] <jagatuba_> I'm kind of new to GNU/LINUX, but I'm pretty tech savvy so I'm catching on.
[18:21] <kelsin> FallenStrife: patching does work in linux after that first copy, but even then you can copy over the patch .exe from windows
[18:21] <kelsin> FallenStrife: no copy the wow install from windows into linux
[18:22] <jagatuba_> it's nice to have help when you need it
[18:22] <kelsin> FallenStrife: assuming you're going to dualboot and not wipe you're window drives clean
[18:22] <Xima1> can anyone here tell me how to enable the sl-modem-daemon or how to search for new hardware for ubuntu to recognize please ?>
[18:22] <FallenStrife> well i need to wipe it clean then put windows on it so either way i have to spend a day installing WoW and all
[18:22] <ccvp> just purhcased a skype pro/skype in subscription for 1 year, this shit is tight, got $80 headsets... gonna cancel my home phone bill which was like $50/month . . .. . is skype client avail for 7.10?
[18:22] <kelsin> FallenStrife: oh well :) that sucks
[18:22] <FallenStrife> yeah =(
[18:22] <cleaton> FallenStrife, can't you backup the wow install you have now?
[18:23] <FallenStrife> then i have no clue how to copy it over to linux lol
[18:23] <Xima1> !dialup
[18:23] <FallenStrife> i dont have disks big enough for that lol
[18:23] <jagatuba_> Thanks all!
[18:23] <cleaton> FallenStrife, you can see your windows disk in linux
[18:23] <Jord> !tcpxd
[18:23] <kelsin> FallenStrife: yeah if you have any way to back up the entire wow directory and place it on your new machine do that, cause installing it sucks
[18:23] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[18:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tcpxd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:23] <cleaton> FallenStrife, do you have one hdd or many?
[18:23] <FallenStrife> o its not for a new machine
[18:23] <FallenStrife> 1 HDD now my last 1 fried
[18:23] <CoasterMaster> !skype | ccvp
[18:23] <ubotu> ccvp: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[18:23] <FallenStrife> so im on a single 40GB HDD ^.^
[18:24] <flyback-> FallenStrife:  did you have anything you needed to save off the old one?
[18:24] <cleaton> oh ok .P
[18:24] <Jord> !tcprelay
[18:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tcprelay - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[18:24] <Jord> !tcp relay
[18:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tcp relay - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:24] <Iwanowitch> FallenStrife: Ouch. I wouldn't dualboot on that.
[18:24] <Jord> :/
[18:24] <kelsin> !botabuse | Jord
[18:24] <ubotu> Jord: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[18:24] <FallenStrife> meh not really all of my good info was on my fried HDD lol
[18:24] <CoasterMaster> Jord: you can send the bot private messages containing what you want, for private lookup
[18:24] <Tyczek> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
[18:24] <Tyczek> or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /mozilla
[18:24] <FallenStrife> well its a 49GB HDD not including the stupid recovery partition
[18:24] <Tyczek> what path?
[18:25] <cleaton> FallenStrife, you said you had two windows installations now? are they on different partitions?
[18:25] <FallenStrife> no i have 3 their all on the same partition rofl
[18:25] <FallenStrife> 2 are coruppted ^.^
[18:25] <cleaton> oh
[18:25] <cleaton> a big mess
[18:25] <FallenStrife> just too freakin lazy to format
[18:25] <cleaton> xD
[18:25] <FallenStrife> like i said WoW is a PAIN
[18:26] <ikonia> did someone call me
[18:26] <FallenStrife> not to mention CSS and GM10 and Xfire and such
[18:26] <kelsin> FallenStrife: you need to buy an external usb harddrive, and have it to copy wow onto while you reinstall
[18:26] <FallenStrife> well im going to get a 160 sata HDD soon i hope
[18:26] <Xima1> does noone here know how to install the sl-modem-daemon or how to have ubuntu search for new hardware >?
[18:26] <cleaton> or borrow someone else computer to store it on while you are formating
[18:26] <s2a> there is no gui for aircrack-ng?
[18:27] <KinPumpkinKing> I adjusted my sound preferences to make sounds, but no sounds happen when anything happens...?
[18:27] <kelsin> s2a: I would check their webpage
[18:27] <stefg> Xima1: iirc all smp-enabled kernels have trouble with slmodem (ask google, i might confuse it with ltmodem) . so you'd need the -386 kernel or boot with the nosmp boot argument
[18:27] <FallenStrife> how much space per OS would i probably have if i dualbooted on a 49gb HDD lol?
[18:28] <Tyczek> working now ;}
[18:28] <Xima1> im on a 64 bit install of linux
[18:28] <stefg> Xima1: uhoh!
[18:28] <kelsin> FallenStrife: up to you, ubuntu only needs like 5 gigs for a normal instlal but obviously if you want wow on there as well probably should bump that up to 10-15
[18:28] <Xima1> so im guessing i'll need to download the package from the respoitory and compile it ?
[18:28] <s2a> kelsin: wat is the webpage?
[18:28] <kelsin> s2a: oh come on, google is your friend
[18:29] <Emof> so "restricted-manager" demands that "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic" is installed. But it is impossible to install that because there's a newer version available
[18:29] <FallenStrife> i know XP needs like a minimum of 10gb free to run worth of crap lol
[18:29] <Emof> how do I force install that package?
[18:29] <Xima1> i don't want to have to use windows to get on the web guys.. that's the main issue
[18:29] <ikonia> Emof: are you still having xorg issues ?
[18:29] <Emof> yes
[18:29] <SpudDogg> Xima1, what's the problem with your connection?
[18:29] <ikonia> Emof: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[18:29] <Python1320> Almost every time I close X or kill gdm the screen freezes. I mean input and stuff still works but I can't see nothing but a freezed image in the screen.  It won't allow me to enable the restricted drivers for my modems
[18:30] <Tyczek> atheros 5007 is working under madwifi :D
[18:30] <juggler885> I have a thinkpad t61 that I am trying to get the volume buttons to work. The mute button works, but volume up and down only switch between 0% and 11%. I have looked at the thinkwiki, but nothing there works. Any ideas?
[18:30] <Xima1> but i only have an internal .. my delimma is getting the sprint px500 rev a evdo card to work
[18:31] <Xima1> but i have to be able to install it as a modem..
[18:31] <Xima1> which if i could configure it to work as a usb modem.. i can make it dial #777 and it will be fine
[18:31] <SpudDogg> Xima1: you could just install the drivers manually.  It's usually just a matter of './configure && make && make install'
[18:31] <Xima1> drivers ?
[18:31] <ikonia> Emof: please type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[18:31] <ikonia> Emof: tell me what you get ?
[18:32] <Emof> nvidia-glx-new_100.14.19+<IP_ADDRESS>-14.10_i386.deb
[18:32] <ikonia> Emof: ?
[18:32] <Emof> I get that
[18:32] <darkone_> lart on compiz-fusion, lart on compiz-fusion-dev
[18:32] <darkone_> lusers
[18:32] <darkone_> http://www.vedantasite.org/

[18:32] <ikonia> deb
[18:32] <SpudDogg> Xima1: that's all the restricted drivers manager is doing for you...it just automates the process.  However, it will not work ig it cant download the driver

[18:32] <ikonia> Emof: does it try to install it ?
[18:33] <Emof> it did install it
[18:33] <ikonia> Emof: mega, ok you now need to reboot then do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" again, and make sure you select "nvidia" as the driver
[18:33] <cleaton> http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9595/sexagoodkeyword6cz.gif
[18:33] <cleaton> ops
[18:33] <Emof> ok, I'll do that
[18:34] <ikonia> Emof: do you understand what it's doing ?
[18:34] <stefg> Xima1: Since there is restricted code involved the slmodem may just not be available for 64-bit. Crossreading over some forum postes there is no out of the box support on 64 bit, so you'd have to try to compile that yourself
[18:34] <Xima1> well i just went to the sprint website and found a linux guide to my surprise.. lol

[18:41] <ikonia> !nvidia > aj_
[18:41] <LjL> aj_: well, perhaps if you tell us what you're doing to begin with
[18:41] <ikonia> aj_: check the instructions from ubotu on how to instal
[18:41] <ikonia> install
[18:41] <ikonia> aj_: that is a good starting point
[18:41] <aj_> !nvidia
[18:41] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[18:41] <aj_> Ah, already been to that URL
[18:41] <KaZeR> every package install i try ends with 'something is broken' what can i do?
[18:41] <ikonia> aj_: ok, so where are you up to and what's the problem
[18:42] <LjL> KaZeR: pastebin the exact output
[18:42] <ikonia> KaZeR: can you give us an example please.
[18:42] <amitprakash> is it possible to conver a primary parition to an extended one without losing the data on it?

[18:42] <LjL> amitprakash, possibly with gparted, check it out
[18:43] <hwilde> KaZeR, doesn't it suggest a dpkg command to fix it...
[18:43] <ikonia> amitprakash: re-size a partition, but creating an extended then putting it into that will have a high chance of corruption
[18:43] <aj_> I am using a HP tablet (model tx1209au). Has intergrated Nvidia GF6 Go. I used the  Restricted Drivers Manager to install nvidia drivers, rebooted, and the config screen appeared
[18:43] <ikonia> aj_: what config screen ?
[18:44] <amitprakash> ikonia, :(
[18:44] <ikonia> amitprakash: yes ?
[18:44] <Emof> ikona: now it detected my card, but the restricted drivers aren't enabled, when I enable them, the same error happens again
[18:44] <aj_> ikonia:  erhm, same screen which comes if you go to : system - admin - screens and graphics
[18:44] <tk7> hi all
[18:44] <KaZeR> fron adept-installer : "an error occured while applying changes. there might have been a problem while downloading or applying change would have broke some packages"
[18:45] <ikonia> Emof: please do "grep nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[18:45] <tifine> hello
[18:45] <Emof> grep for what?
[18:45] <Emof> sorry
[18:45] <Emof> no output
[18:45] <nickrud> KaZeR, from a terminal, type sudo apt-get -f install ; if that fails, paste all the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[18:45] <ikonia> Emof: ok, thats why - you've not selected the nvidia driver
[18:45] <Klick__> hey everyone.  Is there an easy way to ask synaptic to save a list of all the programs you have installed, and then apply that list to another computer?
[18:45] <amitprakash> ikonia, well i needed to install xp cos vista is such a downgrade.. and i needed to keep vista too cos i need the dx10 for a few games.. and i need ubuntu to get any kind of work done.. so thats 3 primary partitions gone T_T.. and i already have a data primary partition.. so is there is no way out w/o backup and format?
[18:45] <ikonia> Emof: please show me "lsmod | grep nvidia"
[18:45] <LjL> !cloning > Klick__    (Klick__, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:45] <aj_> i selected the correct model of the graphics chip, and it detected it as a plug and play display with max 800 x 600. i  manually selected the generic lcd 1280 x 800 + enable wide screen option
[18:46] <Emof> Autoselect chose nv, and not nvidia
[18:46] <aj_> hummm
[18:46] <tifine> Does anybody know how to create a useraccount  (  ubunutu.tifine ) <-- ? I want to create a new account but i want to put the dot between the first & lastname
[18:46] <ikonia> Emof: ahh no problem, chose nvidia then with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:46] <heatmzzr> ikonia, got mutt to retrieve email, how do i send it?
[18:46] <Emof> lsmod gives no output either
[18:46] <Emof> i did choose nvidia and then it didn't work
[18:46] <wols> tifine: adduser?
[18:46] <ikonia> heatmzzr: you need an mta on your machine, or select an mnta
[18:46] <Emof> that's why I chose nv after
[18:46] <Klick__> LjL, if I do that do i need to grab my sources.list file also, or will it know to add all the extra repositories
[18:46] <ikonia> Emof: ok - the nvidia module isn't loading
[18:47] <tifine> wols: does it will allow me to use (.) ?
[18:47] <ikonia> Emof: what happens with "sudo modprobe nvidia"
[18:47] <Python1320> Almost every time I close X or kill gdm the screen freezes. I mean input and stuff still works but I can't see nothing but a freezed image in the screen. What the heck is the problem? :\ (buntu srv 7.10 gnome - dri works)
[18:47] <aj_> Tried the test option, and always get a corrupted screen - even if i just set as 800 x 600 res with the binary drivers
[18:47] <tifine> wols: between firstname & lastname ?
[18:47] <wols> tifine: try it?
[18:47] <LjL> Klick__: no, you need the sources.list
[18:47] <Klick__> ljl, thanks
[18:47] <Emof> sudo modprobe nvidia
[18:47] <Emof> Not loading nvidia_new module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:47] <KaZeR> which package contains the 'import' command? for screenshots?
[18:47] <nickrud> !postfix > heatmzzr (this is your next step, so mutt has a local mail server to talk to)
[18:47] <Zigara> hey, i have a problem, first off i have two Xgl proccess running for some reason and one is using like 90 percent of my cpu
[18:47] <Zigara> any clues?
[18:47] <ikonia> Emof: please change nv in xorg.conf to nvidia
[18:48] <wols> KaZeR: search on packages.ubuntu.com
[18:48] <aj_> Anyone with suggestions ?
[18:48] <Emof> ok
[18:48] <ikonia> aj_: I've not seen where you are up to yet
[18:48] <rottie> @ Python: do you also have this when you click shutdown?
[18:48] <KaZeR> ok wols
[18:48] <ikonia> aj_: I apologise, I have
[18:48] <tifine> wols: got error message adduser: Only one or two names allowed. ?
[18:48] <aj_> ikonia : ok :)
[18:48] <wols> tifine: then you might have a problem
[18:48] <wols> aj_: what videocard?
[18:48] <Python1320> rottie, haven't tested and I don't care if it does that during shutdown because that pc is a halfserver
[18:49] <tifine> wols: aha wat kind of problem ?
[18:49] <mik3> anyone know of any applications that auto-configure a VPN like microsoft's vpn software does? all i was given was an ip address, username, and password, i don't know if it's a cisco/ipsec/ms or any of the settings
[18:49] <aj_> Geforce Go 6150
[18:49] <jimmious> my sound card is not working, I have disabled the on-board one but still my Creative Audigy doesn't work. Any suggestions?
[18:49] <wols> tifine: that it doesn't work?
[18:49] <amitprakash> ikonia, 1 swap, 1 xp, 1 vista, 1 ubuntu, 1 data... how do i manage this w/o exceeding 4 primary partition limit?
[18:49] <Python1320> @ rottie, It sometimes work but usually doesn't.
[18:49] <rottie> I had the same thing on my ubuntu after I had removed the Power manager in ubuntu
[18:49] <rottie> maybe it is related
[18:49] <ikonia> amitprakash: I advise you to backup and re-install with a better layout
[18:49] <wols> amitprakash: put something in a extended partition
[18:49] <Python1320> rottie, maybe
[18:49] <Scunizi> !vpn
[18:49] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[18:49] <tifine> wols: anyother help
[18:49] <Python1320> rottie, I have power manager enabled
[18:49] <wols> amitprakash: and linux partiton can be in a extended one
[18:49] <Python1320> pff :D
[18:50] <rottie> hmm, must be something different then
[18:50] <nickrud> tifine, according to man useradd , dots aren't allowed in usernames (end of the man page)
[18:50] <BaghdadBob> ugh., tried to switch my dad's computer to ubuntu from windows xp.   4 days of fiddling around trying to get a tv-tuner to work with no luck, just one problem after another :(  back to xp, linux still has some growing up to do
[18:50] <amitprakash> wols, cool.. so is it possible to backup my / and move it to the newpartition and make it bootable..else i need to download all update packages all over
[18:50] <nickrud> tifine, erm, missread that, nm
[18:51] <wols> amitprakash: move your swap partiton that you can do without a big move
[18:51] <Scunizi> BaghdadBob, or the tv-tuner card has to release opensource drivers...  :/
[18:51] <tifine> nickru:  okie then i m fucccked
[18:51] <frahi> BaghdadBob: maybe your pc has so growing up to do
[18:51] <mikebeecham> BaghdadBob: I've been using Linux for about 2 weeks now....give yourself time to get used to it.  It's NOT XP, so dont expect it to work like XP.  But the rewards are defiantely there
[18:51] <amitprakash> wols, well my parition structure is screwed up.. so i need to move / :(
[18:51] <BaghdadBob> scunizi, wintv pvr-usb2  .. hauppauge chipset, supposed to work, but its so difficult, easier to give up than to read 200 pages of documentation
[18:51] <tifine> nickru:  i just have to create a first.lastname useraccount somehow !!
[18:51] <nickrud> tifine, you could try adduser "name" according to the page dots are ok, but you might run into issues with other situations
[18:52] <wols> amitprakash: I told you what to do
[18:52] <wols> amitprakash: and you don't need to reinstall
[18:52] <nickrud> tifine, maybe use underscore? Does it have to be a period?
[18:52] <aj_> ikonia : suggestions? Anyone else ?
[18:52] <Emof> ikonia: changed to nvidia and rebooted, and now I have the same problem about not detecting the card
[18:52] <Emof> sudo modprobe nvidia
[18:52] <Emof> FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[18:53] <tifine> nickrud: actually i cannot change into underscore i needed to make it like o.polo
[18:53] <wols> Emof: lemme guess you had nvidia.com or envy or other stuff installed before?
[18:53] <ikonia> Emof: ok - hang on, you need to modprobe nvidia
[18:53] <wols> ikonia: he tries for ages now and it doesn't work
[18:53] <aj_> wols : I too am having the a problem with the nvidia binary drivers - fresh install
[18:54] <ikonia> wols: I've got to go out, but he's doing a chicken and an egg situation
[18:54] <wols> aj_: installed how? nvidia.com drivers or ubuntu ones?
[18:54] <mik3> anyone know of any applications that auto-configure a VPN like microsoft's vpn software does? all i was given was an ip address, username, and password, i don't know if it's a cisco/ipsec/ms or any of the settings
[18:54] <Emof> I have installed ubuntu ones
[18:54] <wols> ikonia: you tell him something he already tried
[18:54] <nickrud> tifine, well, you can do sudo adduser o.polo --force-badname , but who knows what would happen down the line
[18:54] <aj_> wols : from the res. driv. manager in ubuntu
[18:54] <the_bull> hello all
[18:54] <wols> Emof: were others installed before?

[18:56] <tifine> nickrud: its done let me test it
[18:56] <KaZeR> thanks guys. but i'm on kubuntu and i don't have the admin submenu...

[18:57] <wols> KaZeR: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:57] <nickrud> KaZeR, you should find the equivalent in adept
[18:57] <KaZeR> ok thanks guys
[18:57] <Emof> my /home is not on a separate partition, can I still reinstall without loosing it?
[18:57] <nickrud> steve_, gutsy?
[18:58] <wols> Emof: are you running windows?
[18:58] <bullgard4> What is 'ACPI->keycode mapping' as in the sentence "ACPI->keycode mapping will be done in-kernel in the future?"
[18:58] <Emof> yes
[18:58] <brobostigon> emof: make a baclof of just the /home dir
[18:58] <brobostigon> backup
[18:58] <the_bull> is there nyone who can help me regarding video playback of Gutsy Gibbon???
[18:58] <Emof> wols: yes I am
[18:58] <wols> Emof: you want to reinstall windows? then you are on the wrong channel
[18:58] <Emof> uh, no
[18:58] <Emof> I want to reinstall ubuntu
[18:58] <LjL> Jord: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i <interface> --dport <port> -j DNAT --to <address>       <- this will let any packets coming from <interface> and directed to <port> be forwarded to the IP address <address>. is that what you want?
[18:58] <wols> why would you want to?
[18:58] <Emof> to fix my graphics card issue
[18:58] <brobostigon> emof: backup just the /home directory.
[18:58] <Emof> since nothing else seems to work
[18:59] <perlmonk> can someone suggest a good logger/daemon?
[18:59] <tifine> nickrud: Thankyou very much u sorted my big problem :)
[18:59] <brobostigon> and then readd it after you have reinstalled
[18:59] <tifine> nickrud: really appreciated!
[18:59] <nickrud> tifine, yw, learned something new today too, thanks
[18:59] <wols> Emof: try insmod the nvidia.ko module
[18:59] <zarac> i didn't get proftp to work.. so i removed the <IP_ADDRESS> line from /etc/hosts ... and now it works.. woohoo! .. although... i'm guessing the <IP_ADDRESS> was there for a reason.. any ideas?
[18:59] <wols> zarac: there is no meaningful <IP_ADDRESS> IP. there is only <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:00] <Emof> sudo insmod nvidia.ko
[19:00] <Emof> insmod: can't read 'nvidia.ko': No such file or directory
[19:00] <zarac> ok wols .. thanks =D
[19:00] <perlmonk> an alternative to sysklogd please?
[19:00] <stefg> Emof: what nvidia card is that ?
[19:00] <wols> Emof: then find where it is and tell insmod about it
[19:00] <wols> perlmonk: apt-cache search syslog
[19:00] <Emof> lspci | grep -i nvidia
[19:00] <Emof> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
[19:01] <nickrud> perlmonk, syslog-ng is kinda nice, I played around with it a while back
[19:01] <aj_> Anyone who can suggest what I can do regarding my nvidia binary issue ?
[19:01] <stefg> Emof: so this should be supported by nvidia-glx or ..-glx-new. what doesn_t work ?
[19:01] <poi> hey
[19:02] <perlmonk> nickrud: yeah, exactly what I was looking for, syslog-ng, i am used to it on gentoo
[19:02] <zarac> hm... do you guys usually remove log files manually when you've addressed the problem you used the log file for?
[19:02] <slaphappy> hi there
[19:02] <LjL> zarac: you mean log files in /var/log? no.
[19:02] <poi> anyone know if I can get ubunti to recognise my RAID 0?
[19:02] <zarac> yeah
[19:02] <zarac> ok =D
[19:02] <LjL> zarac, they're cycled automatically.
[19:02] <zarac> very true =D
[19:02] <zarac> thanks mate
[19:02] <slaphappy> anyone there who can help me ? i want to read the passwords which are hidden with xxxx...anyone a idea ?
[19:02] <Emof> stefg: well... everything was working fine. until I rebooted (booted to windows). After I booted back I got the message that the system couldn't find my card and I started in failsafe low-res.
[19:03] <nickrud> slaphappy, they're in /etc/shadow (and good luck :)
[19:03] <stefg> Emof: ok... but you were using the restricted driver, installed by the restricted manager ?
[19:03] <Emof> yes
[19:03] <bryan> ryan
[19:03] <slaphappy> from my router i want to the passwords..i have forgotten my dsl log ins..
[19:04] <jgoo> installing ubuntu FROM a USB drive, TO the same USB drive ( it is a 750gb USB dick on an otherwise driveless system !!)
[19:04] <aj_> Anyone who can suggest what I can do regarding my nvidia binary issue ? (fresh install, used the res. driv. manager)
[19:04] <Dr_willis> slaphappy,  if you have full root access to the box. You can just set the passwords
[19:04] <wols> slaphappy: is this router running ubuntu?
[19:04] <jgoo> any ideas what image I should put onto the disk?
[19:04] <nickrud> rflol wols
[19:04] <jgoo> :p s/dick/disk
[19:04] <poi> a 750Gb USB disk?  do you mean Mb?
[19:04] <Dr_willis> jgoo,  i was NOT going to point that out... :)
[19:04] <wols> jgoo: can't be done. need a liveCD on the usb
[19:04] <stefg> Emof: hmmm... could be that for some odd reason the irq or something changed.... have you tried to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' already, choosung nvidia, not nv as driver ?
[19:05] <LjL> slaphappy: you mean you have the password stored in Firefox, but can't recall it?
[19:05] <slaphappy> no none ubuntu :) my laptop is running with ubuntu ;) there are an win some tools with which i can dehide the passwords
[19:05] <Dr_willis> jgoo,  You could use some sort of backup/restore system to backup the installed system and restore it elseware
[19:05] <jgoo> poi - GB
[19:05] <noor> You guys, im having trouble installing an icon package need some help :'(
[19:05] <wols> slaphappy: then you are in the wrong channel. please ask elsewher
[19:05] <poi> Thats a big USB disk!
[19:05] <Emof> stefg: when I chose nv as driver, the card is detected, but then the restricted driver is disabled
[19:05] <jgoo> Dr_willis: I haven't installed it on this system before, it is a new system
[19:05] <Emof> if I try to enable it, the same thing happens all over again
[19:05] <nickrud> noor, you should just be able to drag the icon pack onto system->prefs->appearance
[19:05] <Dr_willis> poi,  its not the size of the disk.. its how you use it. :)
[19:05] <poi> I supose you get USB HDDs tho :P
[19:05] <poi> haha
[19:06] <jgoo> no disks inside, just one external usb USB HDD
[19:06] <Emof> and selecting nvidia instead of nv also fails
[19:06] <LjL> slaphappy, there is no such thing on Ubuntu, because various applications use very different GUI toolkits, so there can't be a "universal" password unhider.
[19:06] <stefg> Emof: of course... you can only have one driver at a tiem :-)
[19:06] <jgoo> poi: yes it is a HDD disk
[19:06] <LjL> slaphappy: so, answer my question - is it on Firefox?
[19:06] <slaphappy> yes on FF
[19:06] <Dr_willis> poi,  yep. when i upgarde my machines the old HD's go in USB enclosures. Handy .
[19:06] <LjL> slaphappy: then Tools>Options>Sercurity>Show Passwords>Show Passwords
[19:06] <poi> ah good idea
[19:06] <noor> nickrud: well i tried that but nothing happend :( its a tar.gz file
[19:06] <aj_> Anyone who can suggest what I can do regarding my nvidia binary issue ? (fresh install, used the res. driv. manager)
[19:06] <jgoo> Dr_willis: my thoughts exactly, I cannot imagine placing a disk inside a machine anymore...
[19:06] <poi> erm anyone know about my Q (getting raid to work on ubuntu)?
[19:07] <jgoo> Dr_willis - I am not sure what you mean by save/restore... :-/
[19:07] <mirak> does anyone know how to use wubi.exe on the livecd ???
[19:07] <Dr_willis> jgoo,  waiting for external sata to get more common.
[19:07] <mik3> anyone know of any applications that auto-configure a VPN like microsoft's vpn software does? all i was given was an ip address, username, and password, i don't know if it's a cisco/ipsec/ms or any of the settings
[19:07] <LjL> aj_: uh, if it's a tablet PC, are you sure it *can* do higher than 800x600?
[19:07] <nickrud> noor, then mkdir ~/.icons  if needed , then cd ~/.icons && tar xf /path/to/icon.tar.gz
[19:07] <jgoo> Dr_willis: I have a SATA PCI card to help, but my wife helpfully packed it away in the loft
[19:07] <Dr_willis> jgoo,  mondo/mindi or other tools can backup an installed system to cd/dvd/remote shares, then you can restore it to another machine. Making a clone of the system
[19:07] <nickrud> noor, this is assuming it's a standard icon pack for gnome
[19:07] <aj_> LjL Am dual booting with Vista which works fine
[19:08] <LjL> aj_: at what resolution?
[19:08] <noor> nickrud: if this works man ill love you forever
[19:08] <jgoo> Dr_willis: hrm, can't I just put a live image onto the USB drive, and that to install back onto the drive?
[19:08] <Emof> I also got the message at some point that the "nvidia kernel module was 1.0-9631 but the X module was 1.0-9639"
[19:08] <Emof> not sure if that might tell you something
[19:08] <stefg> Emof: so this is fixable without reinstall.... i'd try to backup/rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-new , tehn sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again
[19:08] <nickrud> noor, no kisses, ok ;p
[19:08] <aj_> I should be able to do 1280 x 800 -- the hp support site gives that figure as well
[19:08] <TheZealot> Is the book "DNS and Bind
[19:08] <TheZealot> a good book?
[19:08] <Dr_willis> jgoo,  not that i know of. Then again  i rarely use the ubuntu live cd's
[19:08] <hwilde> !fixres | aj_
[19:08] <ubotu> aj_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[19:08] <jgoo> Dr_willis: my laptop died, so I am stuck using my... windows2000 *shudder* old test machine, to get this system up :-)
[19:08] <aj_> hwilde:  been there already
[19:08] <Emof> stefg: I have already done that
[19:09] <hwilde> aj_, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:09] <Emof> I have reinstalled both nvidia-glx and glx several times
[19:09] <ompaul> TheZealot, yes
[19:09] <aj_> hwilde:  done that twice already
[19:09] <stefg> Emof: so what exactly happens... any meaningful error ?
