[06:56] <fuffalo> unless you've asked it to
[06:56] <russ> Rael snakes don't run
[06:56] <russ> they slither
[06:56] <Rael> I just saw it taking up like 30% of my cpu
[06:56] <squarebracket> Cpudan80, no kernel-source package, but it looks like i didn't have build-essential installed which i thought i did, let me try it now.
[06:56] <Rael> lol
[06:57] <russ> it might be constricting your performance
[06:57] <[dcr]> Hey I'm on the LiveCD and I need to edit files on the HDD and it says I don't have enough permission, how would I go about getting that permission?
[06:57] <Whtiger> oh noes
[06:57] <Rael> lmao
[06:57] <Cpudan80> squarebracket: that might not be the package name (kernel-source)
[06:57] <fuffalo> russ, the only thing i don't like is they only have integrated video in their linux laptops...i assume because they dont want driver headaches
[06:57] <ere4si> Rael: lots of linux apps are written in python
[06:58] <Rael> it was using 100 cpu
[06:58] <russ> fuffalo well the built-in monitor is just great - 1440x900 nice looking display
[06:58] <Rael> I just killed it
[06:58] <Invert314> ehm
[06:58] <Necrodrako> Cpudan80: it got through the memtest no problems, now i'm back on and everything is working again...
[06:58] <fuffalo> russ i meant the video card itself, not the monitor
[06:58] <Rael> one was sleeping and one was very much active
[06:58] <fuffalo> does it play movies well?
[06:58] <Cpudan80> Necrodrako: weird
[06:58] <squarebracket> Cpudan80, kernel-package, maybe?
[06:58] <Necrodrako> Cpudan:i wonder what could have cased that
[06:58] <russ> fuffalo I suspect the problem with a second monitor might be that I have an oddball monitor
[06:58] <Invert314> i can't autocomplete /usr or even / at the command line
[06:58] <Cpudan80> squarebracket: maybe, it has kernel in the name iirc
[06:58] <Invert314> why is that?
[06:58] <squarebracket> Cpudan80, (there's also linux-source)
[06:59] <russ> fuffalo the video is nothing special but i don't do anything that requires it
[06:59] <Rael> hey when I kiled it my gdkeslets dissapear
[06:59] <Rael> noooooo
[06:59] <[dcr]> how do i edit a file in terminal?
[06:59] <Invert314> i mean i can't autocomplete those directories with sudo at the beginning of the line
[06:59] <Invert314> here:
[06:59] <Invert314> sudo mv Desktop/Titan\ Pack/ /us
[06:59] <gmenelau> how can i update the synaptic ?
[06:59] <lyte> [dcr]: nano
[06:59] <Starnestommy> earlmred: gdesklets is python-based
[06:59] <Rael> are gdeskletes suppose to run python and slow down your pc
[06:59] <[dcr]> ty lyte
[06:59] <speeddemon8803> is there any way to update the ipod nano firmware in ubuntu?
[06:59] <Starnestommy> whoops, sorry earlmred
[06:59] <Invert314> it's as if / doesn't exist
[06:59] <Starnestommy> Rael: they're python-based
[07:00] <Rael> the gdeskletes are cool! are the going to make my system run like a jive turkey
[07:00] <LimCore> when I am in X, how to get the current x,y position of mouse cursor?  (in example to save it to a file)?   (or better yet, how to draw something there when the mouse cursor is,  so that it will be visible in a screenshot)?
[07:00] <Necrodrako> Cpudan80: not that its really any of my business, but do you use any instant mesengers that i might add you on?
[07:00] <russ> Rael python is an interpreted language so to run a python-based application you need to run the python interpreter
[07:00] <ere4si> Rael: I use gdesklets and don't have a cpu or mem hit from them
[07:01] <Rael> ok
[07:01] <LimCore> perhaps there is application-toy that shows some shape/icon/whatever "chasing" the mouse cursor? that would do too
[07:01] <Rael> I just saw it in system manager use 100% cpu
[07:01] <Rael> and pc was running slow
[07:01] <Cpudan80> squarebracket: could be that one
[07:01] <Cpudan80> Necrodrako: yes.... but why do you need it?
[07:02] <squarebracket> Cpudan80, it seemed to work with build-essential installed.. so thanks :)
[07:02] <ere4si> Rael: maybe one of the desklets isn't working/connecting like it should
[07:02] <Cpudan80> squarebracket: np
[07:02] <Necrodrako> Cpudan80: i just figured you were nice enough, and it wouldnt hurt to be a friend.
[07:03] <Cpudan80> Necrodrako: hehehe pm me and I'll give you the sn
[07:03] <Rael> looks like you were right
[07:03] <Rael> ironically it was the one I just installed to watch cpu usage
[07:04] <prettyricky> can someone direct on how to install bootsplash
[07:04] <prettyricky> thanks
[07:04] <ere4si> Rael: got it sorted?
[07:04] <jmdc> my python installation is broken
[07:04] <Rael> I think sooo
[07:04] <jmdc> I've tried reinstalling python, but that didn't seem to fix it
[07:04] <lyte> jmdc: broken how?
[07:05] <jmdc> the time module isn't working properly
[07:05] <marupa> So, if I'm working with java in a 32b version of firefox under 64b ubuntu...java works fine, loads like a dream, but I can't get 32b firefox's java to see any java add-ins.  Any way to point it to see the add-in?
[07:05] <jmdc> for instance: import time; time.time() gives an error
[07:06] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$  ls -l ~/.dmrc; -rw------- 1 detlef detlef 48 2008-02-14 19:05 /home/detlef/.dmrc" My Nautilus does list for example '.dbus-keyrings' but not '.dmrc'. What is wrong in my reasoning?
[07:06] <jmdc> s/error/ImportError/
[07:07] <Rael> hey does anyone know how to setup the weather desk applet
[07:07] <Rael> it says fail
[07:08] <ere4si> Rael: you need the goodweather desklet - is the only one I could get working - download from the website
[07:08] <squarebracket> does X support seperate screens of different resolutions?
[07:09] <nano> my volume control hot keys on my laptop are effecting the volume levels on the "internal mic" setting and are not effecting the Master setting as I would prefer, anybody has any ideas about how to fix this?
[07:09] <marupa> squarebracket, like, the same desktop extended onto multiple resolution screens?
[07:09] <Rael> ok thanks Ill check it out
[07:10] <teknover> wow.. been a while since i IRC'd
[07:10] <teknover> I have many technical issues with my Ubuntu 7.1 gutssy on my lappy (intel 945Gm chipset)... anybody can point me to the right direction?
[07:10] <squarebracket> marupa, no, seperate screen definitions in the config file
[07:11] <marupa> squarebracket, for simultaneous kde/gnome or somesuch configuration?
[07:11] <monte> printer drivers ?
[07:11] <LimCore> HOLLLLLLLLLLLY SHIT,
[07:11] <LimCore> open source works :P   I just took 8 minutes and written the application I was missing from ubuntu!   (to track down and write position of X cursor, based on xeyes :P)
[07:11] <squarebracket> marupa, actually, that would be kind of cool, but no.
[07:12] <marupa> squarebracket, explain/
[07:12] <marupa> ?*
[07:12] <squarebracket> marupa, i was having lots of trouble getting seperate screens working until i removed the ability of one of my monitors to go to 1280x1024
[07:12] <prettyricky> where do I get bootspash from? any suggestions
[07:12] <squarebracket> marupa, now they're both at 1024x768, and it worked.
[07:12] <prettyricky> and how does it work

[07:17] <ere4si> Rael: I use sidecandy cpu and have no issues
[07:17] <linabhi> i am new in linux i dunno how to do it in ubuntu
[07:17] <cpk1> Smegzor: in kde I right click > actions > open terminal here... maybe gnome has something similiar?
[07:18] <linabhi> my sound card is not regonized by ubuntu
[07:18] <Smegzor> i'm in gnome and I haven't found that ability in it so far.
[07:18] <cpk1> linabhi: it isnt recognized if you do "lspci" in a terminal?
[07:18] <ere4si> linabhi, what is the sound card pls?
[07:19] <linabhi> its realtech
[07:19] <keith-> i ripped and burned some dvd's on a mac and when i try to play them in vlc on linux(which is what i used on the mac), it won't play them
[07:19] <linabhi> i used fedora 8 in was deetected in that
[07:19] <McGod> Hi
[07:19] <linabhi> i have a nvidia 610i board
[07:20] <linabhi> sundcard is realtek alc662
[07:20] <keith-> has anyone had a similar problem?
[07:20] <squarebracket> keith-, have you tried it any computer other than the one that burned it?
[07:20] <linabhi> lspci shows it as a unknown device please help
[07:21] <keith-> squarebracket: yeah
[07:21] <keith-> squarebracket: they were other mac computers and they have worked fine
[07:21] <nix> need help with bluetooth mousr: have to disconec usb hub b4 i can use it.. wtf?
[07:21] <Smegzor> astro76: thanks again!  I installed a number of add-ons I didn't know about for nautilus.
[07:22] <ere4si> linabhi, look at this guide - http://www.filledvoid.com/2007/12/11/7/
[07:22] <linabhi> let me check
[07:22] <astro76> Smegzor: no problem, there are a couple of other potentially usefull nautilus-* packages, like nautilus-actions
[07:23] <squarebracket> keith-, hmm... i -think- you need restricted stuff installed on the linux machine to watch dvds, have you installed any of that stuff?
[07:23] <squarebracket> (do you know what i'm talking about?)
[07:23] <keith-> squarebracket: yeah other dvd's are working fine
[07:23] <skull-DT> whats the command line to check CPU temperature???
[07:23] <McGod> I got a quick question, I have made 10Gbs of unpartition'd space
[07:24] <McGod> To install Ubuntu onto
[07:24] <Smegzor> astro76: 1 question.. now that I've added them (and exited out of nautilus) I can't see any of the new add-ons.  What do I need to do to make them appear?
[07:24] <squarebracket> keith-, oh really, ok... hmm... have you tried a different program to play it?
[07:24] <McGod> A) Will that be enough room?
[07:24] <CVD-PR> for ubuntu olny yes
[07:24] <ere4si> Keith, what file format are they e.g. something.avi?
[07:24] <squarebracket> McGod, it depends how much you plan to use it, but ya.
[07:24] <astro76> Smegzor: hmm probably log out and back into gnome
[07:24] <Smegzor> ok
[07:24] <McGod> B) Would I use the "Use the largest continuous free space"
[07:24] <Schmao-Fmao> Hi there, the Ubuntu LiveCD is hanging when I get to the line "squashfs version 3.2-UBUNTU", and I'd like to try and debug it.  Is there any way for me to make the Ubuntu live CD bootup any more verbose by tweaking the boot parameters?
[07:25] <Schmao-Fmao> I've already removed the words "quiet splash"
[07:25] <sean_> Where can I find a screen saver that supports RSS? Ubuntu used to have it under "fliptext" but I can't find it.
[07:26] <squarebracket> NTSC is 720x480 right?
[07:26] <sp0ro|> Kismet is saying I need to set a user to drop down to in the kismet config. I already set the suiduser to my normal user and triple checked it was correct, yet it is still not working. Is the kismet config file for the dev version in a difference directory on Ubuntu than /etc/kismet/ ?
[07:27] <ph0rensic> Crap....Trying to partition my hd screwed it.. I have to do a zero fill on it now..
[07:27] <McGod> ph0rensic: What did u do?
[07:27] <Schmao-Fmao> squarebracket, if you're referring to DVDs, NTSC refers only to the frame rate
[07:28] <Schmao-Fmao> For TV encoding NTSC is 525 scanlines
[07:28] <squarebracket> Schmao-Fmao, i was not, i was referring to the resolution of my tv :P.... ya, 525 scanlines
[07:28] <ph0rensic> McGod: I was trying to partition it and the partitioner failed and left grub out of whack .. then I tried to fix grub and then it just says the disk failed upon boot
[07:28] <squarebracket> Schmao-Fmao, the "effective resolution" is 720x480 though, right?
[07:28] <astro76> squarebracket: yes 720x480, keep in mind that's displayed in a 4:3 ratio... the pixels are not square
[07:29] <McGod> :/
[07:29] <skull-DT> quick question how do I check CPU temp??
[07:29] <squarebracket> astro76, yup, will do... trying to get my old nvidia card to output to my tv, sigh.
[07:29] <mkquist> ph0rensic: have u tried reinstalling grub?
[07:29] <ph0rensic> McGod: All this because i wanted another partition to test the 64 bit...
[07:29] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Yes I did
[07:30] <mkquist> ph0rensic: i was about to say forget that question... so do you have an o/s installed?
[07:30] <McGod> Should I pre-make the parition for Ubuntu
[07:30] <ph0rensic> mkquist: the partitioner wont read the disk
[07:30] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Nope .. Im gonna dual boot it as soon as the zero fill is done...
[07:30] <Rael> I cant get the rythembox applete to work either
[07:30] <ph0rensic> mkquist: another long night
[07:31] <mkquist> ph0rensic: so the partitioner on the live cd wont read it?
[07:31] <Schmao-Fmao> squarebracket, I believe so but I'm not sure
[07:31] <ph0rensic> mkquist: yah .. interesting eh?
[07:32] <ere4si> Rael: it won't work - it's old rhythmbox went to dbus ages ago and the gdesklet still uses bonobo
[07:32] <mkquist> ph0rensic: do you have any other live cds like maybe knoppix?
[07:32] <Schmao-Fmao> Anyone know if the Ubuntu Dapper LTS LiveCD uses a new kernel, or an old one?
[07:32] <ph0rensic> Luckily I have all my important stuff on another hdd
[07:32] <Schmao-Fmao> new as in 2.6.22 and old as in less than that :)
[07:32] <ph0rensic> mkquist: No I was actually going to download a knoppix disc for the future though
[07:32] <astro76> squarebracket: if you are going out to tv, 640x480 might be what you want
[07:32] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Im already going through the zero fill... it takes forever
[07:32] <mkquist> ph0rensic: so how are u writing to the disc then?
[07:33] <McGod> brb booting to livecd
[07:33] <squarebracket> astro76, hmm, ok
[07:33] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Im using maxblast disc tool
[07:33] <ahorriblemess> Hi everyone
[07:33] <mkquist> ph0rensic: u have windows on there? im guessing no?
[07:33] <ph0rensic> hey
[07:33] <mkquist> ph0rensic: seems like a wast to do a zero fill to me
[07:34] <mkquist> *waste
[07:34] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Nope I never did, it was a full ubuntu install and I wanted to add a partition to test 64bit
[07:34] <ahorriblemess> I've been using a USB mouse on my laptop, I disabled my touchpad with a button above it, but when I switched it back on I lost control over configuring it (if I disable "tap to click" it doesn't work)
[07:34] <ahorriblemess> anyone have nay ideas? Do you tihnk a simple reboot would help?
[07:34] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Normally yes, but I cant get the disc to install anythig on it atm
[07:34] <astro76> ahorriblemess: probably restarting X would help (ctrl+alt+backspace)
[07:34] <Rael> oh ok
[07:34] <mkquist> ph0rensic: been a while since having to use maxblast, it doesnt have an option to just delete parts?
[07:34] <ph0rensic> mkquist: Windows wont even install on it after I did a quick zero fill and set up new partitions
[07:35] <mkquist> ph0rensic: maxtor drive?
[07:35] <ph0rensic> mkquist: I tried.. yes it is a maxtor drive.. Ional also have a seagate disc for my seagate, but that drive is functi
[07:35] <mkquist> ph0rensic: how old?
[07:35] <squarebracket> man, kde4 is so slick, even on windows :)
[07:35] <ere4si> Rael: I had to write some short scripts and add them to a panel to control rhythmbox while it is minimized
[07:36] <nix> BLUETOOTH mouse will only work after i unplug usb hub, ne one know a bypass?
[07:36] <Rael> are there any other media players that support applets
[07:36] <ph0rensic> mkquist: A couple years.. have never had any problems with it before.. it all got jacked when I was trying to make partitions with gparted
[07:36] <mkquist> ph0rensic: word to the wise (at least IMHO) step away from the Maxtors...
[07:36] <mkquist> ph0rensic: personally havent had real good luck w/maxtors...
[07:37] <ere4si> Rael: xmms
[07:37] <ph0rensic> mkquist: hehe well both my new drives are seagate. i keep my important stuff on there
[07:37] <Rael> thanks
[07:37] <kaboombob> any body know how to open or burn a ".img" file straight to a dvd?
[07:37] <Rael> I'll have to check it out
[07:37] <mkquist> ph0rensic: im of the opinion thats a good thing.... good for u
[07:37] <ph0rensic> mkquist: except i have a maxtor external too.. that just holds some .iso's that i can get again if it fails
[07:38] <mkquist> ph0rensic: g/l w/ur zero fill/reinstall then

[07:47] <wng-> MrPiracy, try 'sudo apt-get install coreutils'
[07:47] <paz> grasias
[07:47] <ere4si> pawan: sudo mount /dev/sdb3   is what you type in a terminal - do you know terminal?
[07:47] <pawan> yes
[07:48] <pawan> will it preserve my existing ubuntu installation
[07:48] <MrPiracy> wng-: hmmmm ... 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[07:48] <icesword> pawan, are u from korea

[07:48] <icesword> oh,i just guess u ip
[07:48] <wng-> MrPiracy, what was the one not-upgraded?
[07:49] <pawan> !pastebin
[07:49] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:49] <ere4si> pawan: unless you change something in your existing ubuntu it will stay preserved
[07:49] <MrPiracy> wng-: the one u just said .... coreutils
[07:50] <jscinoz> Is there anyway to run opengl games while using xserver-xgl?
[07:50] <pawan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56194/
[07:50] <wng-> MrPiracy, how are you trying to install the JRE?
[07:50] <nix> nix needs help with bluetooth usb??
[07:50] <genjix> anyone know how I can reinstall all installed packages?
[07:50] <wng-> MrPiracy, try 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre'
[07:50] <genjix> some stuff has accidentally got removed in /usr/
[07:51] <MrPiracy> wng-: i downloaded a rpm package from www.java.com as the site told me so. am following instructions from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000011300.xml

[07:51] <wng-> MrPiracy, try 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre'
[07:52] <wng-> jscinoz, try setting DISPLAY=:0 before running the game
[07:52] <MrPiracy> wng-, Flannel: ok, trying that now
[07:52] <ere4si> pawan: then browse to /media/disk-5
[07:52] <MrPiracy> wng-, Flannel: will see if it works
[07:52] <Invert314> i was just using cairo-clock moments ago, but now it won't run....
[07:52] <jscinoz> wng- thakns
[07:52] <Invert314> here are the two error messages:

[07:52] <Invert314> sudo: cairo-clock: command not found
[07:52] <Invert314> why can't i run cairo-clock?
[07:53] <pawan> but my installation is in disk 11
[07:53] <pawan> there are all the folders
[07:53] <bullgard4> "detlef@MD97600:~$  ls -l ~/.dmrc; -rw------- 1 detlef detlef 48 2008-02-14 19:05 /home/detlef/.dmrc" My Nautilus does list for example '.dbus-keyrings' but not '.dmrc'. What is wrong in my reasoning?
[07:54] <ere4si> pawan: don't worry about the name of the mount - look at the files to see if it is the right one that's mounted
[07:54] <pawan> like
[07:54] <sp0ro|> How would I go about deleting a directory that has items in it?

[07:56] <jscinoz> wng- hmm is xserver-xgl actually its own display?
[07:56] <ere4si> pawan: you don't mount disks you mount the partitions on the disk - an important point
[07:56] <wng-> jscinoz, something like that, im not sure exactly how it works
[07:56] <coloquion> ubuntu sux
[07:56] <pawan> so how to mount partition
[07:56] <dsmith_> colo?
[07:56] <jscinoz> wish i could have a way to do it on the same display
[07:56] <icesword> coloquion, what u want to say
[07:56] <dsmith_> coloquion: say what?
[07:56] <jscinoz> setting the env variable for every game is gonna be annoying
[07:56] <Flannel> coloquion: You're welcome to discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic, please keep this channel support related only.  Thanks.
[07:56] <pawan> when i right click it says unmount volume
[07:57] <wng-> jscinoz, I gave up on XGL for that reason
[07:57] <astro76> bullgard4: that doesn't make sense
[07:57] <coloquion> nothing that a lot of main stuff doesn't work outta the box
[07:57] <coloquion> such as burning
[07:57] <ere4si> pawan: sudo mount /dev/sda3  or whichever it is called - you need to find it in the folder /dev
[07:57] <astro76> bullgard4: it should show in nautilus
[07:57] <ere4si> pawan if right click says unmount then it is mounted already
[07:57] <bullgard4> astro76: But if it does not show up in Nautilus what should I do?
[07:58] <pawan> ok
[07:58] <astro76> bullgard4: not sure
[07:58] <coloquion> and making DVD/CD movies wathchable on other things that aren't only PC
[07:58] <pawan> then why is ubuntu not loading in grub
[07:58] <bullgard4> astro76: ok. Thank you.
[07:58] <ere4si> pawan: it won't from the live cd
[07:58] <pawan> no when i boot from hard disk
[07:59] <pawan> cannot mount partition error
[07:59] <killemall> ive got ubuntu 6.06 server running software raid.  the 2 hds are 2GB each.  I would like to upgrade to 2 20GB hds.  is this possilbe without having to reinstall ubuntu ?
[07:59] <MrPiracy> wng-, Flannel: didn't work, i am trying to see the password box at https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/login.jsp?aapf.IDH=sim
[07:59] <abescully> are other people having trouble with openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us in hardy?
[07:59] <ere4si> pawan: you have 3 ubuntu installs from your menu.lst - do you get none from the grub menu?
[07:59] <Flannel> abescully: #ubuntu+1 for hardy
[08:00] <abescully> Flannel: thanks.
[08:00] <wng-> MrPiracy, are you using Firefox for browsing?
[08:00] <Flannel> MrPiracy: does java work from the command line?  and then, did you make sure you did the firefox stuff?
[08:00] <pawan> no
[08:00] <ere4si> pawan: are you in the live cd now?
[08:00] <pawan> yes
[08:00] <wng-> MrPiracy, 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin'
[08:00] <jscinoz> wng- xgl is so much faster than the normal xserver for desktop stuff
[08:01] <Ayabara> anyone running alsa 1.0.15rc<something> on gutsy?
[08:01] <ere4si> pawan: open a terminal and type   sudo grub
[08:01] <jscinoz> wng- in normal xserver takes 2-3 sec to change tab in firefox (even with metacity instead of compiz) its near instant on xgl
[08:01] <ere4si> pawan: then type find /boot/grub/stage1
[08:01] <wng-> jscinoz, 2-3s to change tabs seems kind of excessive
[08:02] <MrPiracy> wng-: E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate
[08:02] <pawan> grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
[08:02] <pawan>  (hd1,6)
[08:02] <jscinoz> wng- i agree, but thats just how slow it is >_<
[08:02] <MrPiracy> Flannel: what firefox stuff?
[08:02] <MrPiracy> wng-: yes, firefox
[08:02] <wng-> jscinoz, mines instant enough
[08:02] <jscinoz> wng- hmm
[08:02] <ere4si> pawan: type   update grub
[08:02] <jscinoz> wng- also switching to xgl fixed this bug with the xserver eating 100% cpu when firefox was loading something
[08:03] <Ayabara> to get a newer version of alsa, yesterday I did "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r)". Will I go back to the old alsa if I remove that package?
[08:03] <jscinoz> wng- brb restarting x with some more tweaks
[08:03] <Flannel> MrPiracy: Are you on AMD64?
[08:03] <wng-> MrPiracy, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[08:03] <pawan> grub> update grub

[08:03] <icesword> what?
[08:03] <MrPiracy> Flannel, wng- : gutsy gibbon all updates applied on x64 computer
[08:04] <ere4si> pawan: type   quit   then type     update grub

[08:05] <wng-> MrPiracy, I don't know much about amd64 stuff, follow Flannel's instructions

[08:09] <pawan> then
[08:10] <Peddy> lmao
[08:10] <kaboombob> astro76 thats not really helping me with converting it to an iso
[08:10] <ere4si> pawan: you can try to grub-install and see if it works - but you may have a hard disk issue - 'cause you do have a /boot/grub/menu.lst - so the hard disk might be on its' way out
[08:11] <pawan> but i can read the contents of my existing ubuntu installation
[08:11] <borisvian> hi
[08:11] <kaboombob> anybody know how to convert to an iso or mount a clonecd image (.ccd .img .sub)
[08:11] <mfivecoa_> While trying to use an external monitor on my T41, I've corrupted my xorg.conf,  even after 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg', ddcprobe returns that I'm running vesa drivers
[08:11] <pretender> how can i fix this error when booting ubuntu                "kernel panic: not synching VFS:"
[08:12] <pawan> how to grub-install
[08:12] <astro76> kaboombob: never tried it sorry
[08:12] <ere4si> pawan: it might be the part of the disk with the master boot record on that has trouble - hard to say from here - but seems like it is a hardware issue - maybe
[08:13] <magic_ninja> i need a light media player but something better then audacious
[08:13] <astro76> bullgard4: for the display manager, I think it keeps track of your default login session (i.e. kde, gnome, etc...)
[08:13] <mfivecoa_> kaboom: from http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic483.html: BASH# mkdir /mnt/iso     BASH# mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0
[08:13] <magic_ninja> not amarok, banshee, etc
[08:13] <gaten> magic_ninja: i like banshee

[08:14] <gaten> magic_ninja: xmms?

[08:14] <Organizm> hey, badwizard
[08:14] <badwizard> yo Organizm!
[08:14] <magic_ninja> yea, audacious is more fully-featurued
[08:14] <Organizm> long time never seen you before in my life, badwizard
[08:14] <kaboombob> mfivecoa_ i need to get it to an iso before i can mount it as an iso
[08:14] <badwizard> wow, totallyl the same here.
[08:14] <magic_ninja> thinking of trying some other xmms tweaks
[08:15] <Organizm> ding dong

[08:19] <pawan> then
[08:20] <Peddy> has anyone been experiencing problems with the flash player upgrade?
[08:20] <astro76> !flashissue | Peddy
[08:20] <ubotu> Peddy: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[08:21] <astro76> Peddy: it works now, try the suggestion ^
[08:21] <kim> is this an appropriate place to make a suggestion for future ubuntu releases?
[08:21] <kaboombob> !scoobysnacks
[08:21] <ubotu> I prefer botsnacks, but thanks for the thought.
[08:21] <Peddy> astro76 if this works I will buy you a beer
[08:21] <LazyPower> Are there any potential issues to using wicd over the network-panel-app?

[08:22] <kim> cheers
[08:22] <astro76> Peddy: oh hmm, no haven't hadn't problems, though I don't use it much
[08:22] <Peddy> astro76 is the bug with the actual installation process?
[08:23] <Peddy> astro76 I'ma just try that and get back to you
[08:23] <astro76> Peddy: the reason the package had to be updated was Adobe updated the .tar.gz the package downloads, not sure about updating problems
[08:25] <kim> could someone give me some advice on how to replace one component of ubuntu with the equivalent from an older release?
[08:27] <Gatorgrad> Forgive me for being a noob.  How do I "Change to the directory where my CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root?"
[08:28] <cpk1> Gatorgrad: "cd /media/cdrom" and then "sudo nameofexecutable" although a lot of things shouldnt need root... and you might need to do "sudo sh nameofexecutable" or "sudo ./nameofexecutable"
[08:30] <kim> System->Administration->Networking  id like the one from dapper i think it was. most importantly, it had an autodetect button for dialup modems, which is gone in new releases. makes it a lot less noob-friendly without it. not only that, but gutsy doesnt detect the same dialup modem on ttys0 that dapper could. i also think the clear-cut 'enable' and 'disable' buttons in the networking window of dapper were a lot bette
[08:30] <kim> r than the tickboxes feisty has
[08:30] <Gatorgrad> cpk1: Looks like greek to me but I'll try it.  I've installed Ubuntu 7.1 in virtualization using VirtualBox, and to install some of the VirtualBox features (variable screen resolution, etc) I need to run a command in root from the CD directory.
[08:31] <Andycasss> is there a way to autoupdate without user interference?
[08:31] <kim> i had to run an old dapper livecd to use dialup when my adsl went down the other day, because feisty just will not see my dialup modem. i dont think it should be that hard to use, with the tagline 'linux for human beings'
[08:32] <Gatorgrad> cpk1: The command I need to run in root on the CD is "sh ./VBoxAdditions.run"  do I just put that after "sudo" ?
[08:32] <cpk1> Gatorgrad: its either sh or ./ not both
[08:33] <cpk1> Gatorgrad: it depends on what kind of executable it is
[08:34] <Gatorgrad> cpk1: Thanks again, I'll give it a try
[08:35] <astro76> sh ./ would work but is redundant
[08:35] <magnetron> hi! which version of debian does ubuntu sync with? when is the last sync done before release?

[08:36] <Sadarax> Hello? I am having a problem connecting with VNC or using X11 forwarding with ssh (-X or -Y). Can anyone help?
[08:37] <kim> noone can give me advice on changing the networking stuff id like to change?
[08:37] <cpk1> Sadarax: you need to make sure that you are allowing X forwarding
[08:37] <astro76> kim: I gave you the info on filing a bug/feature suggestion
[08:38] <cpk1> Sadarax: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH?highlight=%28ssh%29
[08:38] <Sadarax> cpk1, I know. I have. I get the error: "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"
[08:38] <abentspoon> what can I use to determine which video drivers X is curently using?
[08:38] <Ayabara> anyone running alsa 1.0.16?
[08:38] <kim> astro76: it requires me to create an account
[08:39] <Sadarax> cpk1, I should mention I was able to connect to vnc through an ssh tunnel until 3 days ago when I did an apt-get upgrade (got some new kernel stuff). Now nothing works
[08:39] <astro76> kim: so do so
[08:40] <cpk1> Sadarax: I dont know anything about vnc, but that error means that X isnt being forwarded... ssh -XC user@host firefox doesnt work?
[08:40] <cpk1> or rather it cant use the X server
[08:41] <nonix4> Umm, how do I get rid of the screen zoom mode I entered accidentally?
[08:41] <achandrashekar> any recommendations for how fast of an athlon x2 server youd run to run a great ubuntu box? and mem?
[08:41] <cpk1> nonix4: ctrl + alt + either +/- on the numpad
[08:42] <cr> is there a way to remotely connect to a gnome session form a windows client?
[08:42] <mkquist> cr: putty works i believe
[08:42] <cr> sorry:  is there a way to remotely connect to a gnome session from a windows client?
[08:42] <cr> i use putty
[08:42] <cr> what about remote desktop?
[08:43] <cr> an rdp client equivalent
[08:43] <astro76> cr: yes, enable the built in vnc server with system > prefs > remote desktop
[08:43] <cr> i'm a newbie
[08:43] <nonix4> cpk1: nope, isn't a different resolution :(
[08:43] <astro76> cr: then use any vnc client
[08:43] <cr> cool.
[08:43] <cr> thanks
[08:43] <achandrashekar> cr: are you looking to connect to the share or export the display....if so then..you will need to export X. and or use VNC.
[08:43] <Tiven> nonix4: Windows Button + Mouse Wheel back
[08:44] <astro76> cr: I'd recommend tightvnc client
[08:44] <cr> awesome
[08:44] <cr> going to test...
[08:44] <nonix4> Tiven: 'k, that's it, thanks :-)
[08:44] <Sadarax> cpk1, tried ssh with -XC, then ran xcalc from the command line, but got the error: Error: Can't open display:
[08:44] <Tiven> no problem mate
[08:44] <Ayabara> what do I need to install to make rhythmbox accept .m4a files?
[08:45] <aum> hi - what's a good simple command-line audio player that can play AU files from standard input?
[08:45] <cpk1> Sadarax: if you use -C you do the command for the app on the same line so "ssh -XC user@host xcalc"
[08:46] <Sadarax> Oh
[08:47] <legs1x1> :)
[08:47] <dar-soul> hey guyz
[08:47] <Sadarax> cpk1, tried it. Same thing. Still get the error about can't open display (with no number specified)
[08:48] <achandrashekar> aum: i ended up adding the medibuntu repo and then using the xmms mp4 addon. But I believe you asked about rythmbox.
[08:48] <cr> thanks astro76
[08:48] <dar-soul> can somoone help me out simple question.. how do i force a nexy system reboot to check the filesystem ?
[08:48] <cr> works like i knew it would
[08:48] <dar-soul> i noticed somwhere during install that there is a command you can issue to force on next reboot

[09:04] <dar-soul> already reading it thank you

[09:14] <danny_> anyone?
[09:14] <Hoss> i say 'try' because i have sox but can't for the life of me seem to install the mp3 libs
[09:15] <Hoss> danny_ i answered your question above
[09:15] <Hoss> "should be somewhere in system > preferences > preferred applications, danny_"
[09:15] <boris> Hoss: any GUI for sox ?
[09:15] <Hoss> i think there are some,
[09:15] <Hoss> boris
[09:15] <Hoss> or you could write some bash scripts to do entire folders at once
[09:15] <chenyuanjun> ?
[09:15] <rael_> how exactly does this preload thing work

[09:19] <Hoss> play around with rhythmbox, or sound juicer or something like that
[09:20] <Hoss> but to support mp3 and mp4 in ubuntu, boris, you need to install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[09:20] <boris> Hoss: i already did that
[09:20] <cox377> astro76: cheers
[09:21] <Jowi> Ayabara, install gtimer
[09:21] <Hoss> okay, any love with sound juicer?

[09:23] <Hoss> oh, hey Mushrooms

[09:23] <glick> yay! I found my lost private gpg key!
[09:23] <Mushrooms> hi Jangari I need to thank you too!
[09:23] <Jangari> what were you doing yesterday again?

[09:24] <boris> Jangari: sound juicer cant do it, rhythmbox neither
[09:24] <boris> how do i convert mp4 to mp3 ?
[09:25] <boris> somebody please answer
[09:25] <Jangari> well, sox can, provided you find a frontend for it, but i'm sure there are some around

[09:25] <danny_> Was my question dumb?
[09:25] <boris> Jangari: what frontend ?!

[09:26] <boris> Jangari: k
[09:26] <Jangari> apt-cache search sox frontend
[09:26] <Ginungaggap> I used long time ago ( I think it was when I still used edgy) I followed the instrucktions in this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP4200#preview" to make my Canon Pixma IP5200 print. With Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon the printer was still workig good. Now I tried to set up a ubuntu 7.10 server and use it to publish the printer. But I cannot make the printer at least print the
[09:26] <Ginungaggap> testpage. Maybe some packages, not mentioned in the guide are missing in the server edition. Has someone out there an idee, how to solve the problem?
[09:26] <bullgard4> What is the purpose of the file ~/.dmrc? I suppose that 'dm' stands for 'display manager'. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/39490/

[09:31] <rosebuntu> hi~ everyone
[09:31] <boris> prince_jammys: im downloading both
[09:31] <mykii_> Jangari, i am because i can not upgrade kernel which is vulnerable
[09:31] <mykii_> Jangari, this happens since a moment
[09:31] <Jangari> sorry mykii_, i can't help there, it's above my head
[09:31] <mykii_> :(
[09:32] <rosebuntu> crap kernel 2.6.** it's volunable
[09:32] <mykii_> Jangari, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=490488
[09:32] <mykii_> Jangari, solution is reinstallation :((
[09:32] <Jangari> oh well, it could be worse,
[09:32] <rosebuntu> install new kernel which is patched
[09:33] <Ademan> anyone here used the python-irclib package?
[09:33] <mykii_> rosebuntu, i wont because all packages aren't
[09:33] <mykii_> arent upgraded
[09:33] <mykii_> i will have to reinstall my OS :(
[09:33] <prince_jammys> boris:  that's one of the few things i do with a windows app... called cdex - free, runs under wine.   but something non-windows should be available
[09:33] <rosebuntu> wholy crap kernel 2.6.**
[09:34] <boris> prince_jammys: i hope soundkonverter will do it. im in a hurry, no time to mess with wine
[09:34] <mykii_> rosebuntu, yes and utility of vmsplice would be discuted
[09:34] <magnetron> prince_jammys: tried sound juicer?
[09:35] <prince_jammys> magnetron: no -- havent done much of that stuff recently
[09:35] <rosebuntu> only solution is reinstall new kernel
[09:35] <mykii_> rosebuntu, yes but i will not have my packages updated
[09:35] <Jangari> wine bites anyway
[09:35] <mykii_> this issue is due to the crap kernel ?!
[09:35] <stjepang> can I somehow scroll on the desktop to switch between workspaces?
[09:36] <rosebuntu> yes!! kernel 2.6.** is a crap
[09:36] <mykii_> rosebuntu, omg
[09:36] <mykii_> rosebuntu, you sure ?!
[09:36] <rosebuntu> yes i am sure
[09:36] <mykii_> wellwellwell

[09:38] <ahmed> how to make a repository from the Ubuntu-DVD ISO image??
[09:40] <alanbshepard70> I need a little help. I was installing a package from a command line and when I put in the command quite unexpectedly 37 other packages were automatically marked for removal. When the prompt came up "Continiue y/n?" I put in no and it continued anyway. I hit ctrl+z to stop the operation but the wamerican package had already been removed before I could stop it. After re-installing the package I can't get spell checking as you go workin
[09:43] <prince_jammys> alanbshepard70: wamerican was the only package removed?
[09:44] <alanbshepard70> prince_jammys: yes and I reinstalled it. I checked my apt logs and it's the only thing that actually got removed.
[09:44] <ahmed> how to make a repository from the dvd ISO image??
[09:45] <alanbshepard70> The spell checking as you go isn't working in firefox. I've gone through all my firefox settings and everything looks good. If I have spell checking on every word is now uderlined as if spelled incorrectly. It's missing a dictionary file somewhere I'm guessing but I don't know where else to look.
[09:46] <prince_jammys> ahmed:  i'm not sure i understand your question, but look into the package "aptoncd"
[09:46] <wng-> is there a easy-to-install plugin for firefox so that I can play wmv files in the browser?
[09:46] <FluxD> Hi, How do I use find to search non case sensitive
[09:46] <alanbshepard70> ahmed: --> System->Administration->Software Sources
[09:46] <ahmed> i know aptoncd
[09:46] <prince_jammys> FluxD command line or GUI?
[09:46] <FluxD> commandline
[09:47] <ahmed> i downloaded ubuntu dvd i want to use it as repository
[09:47] <FluxD> prince_jammys, theres a gui for find?
[09:47] <prince_jammys> FluxD: instead of -name,  -iname ...  there's gui's that search for files, though i don't know that they specifically use the command "find"
[09:48] <FluxD> prince_jammys, gnome-search-tool ?
[09:48] <prince_jammys> FluxD: are you familiar with the "find" command?
[09:48] <FluxD> yes prince_jammys thats what I was asking
[09:48] <prince_jammys> FluxD: yes, gnome-search-tool is one
[09:48] <prince_jammys> FluxD :    find /starting/path  -iname 'nametofind'
[09:48] <FluxD> prince_jammys, I want to use find and search for all cases of mysql, MYSQL, mySQL etc
[09:49] <FluxD> iname makes it case independent ?
[09:49] <prince_jammys> FluxD:  -iname is case insensitive, as opposed to -name
[09:49] <wng-> How can I get firefox to play wmv files in the browser
[09:49] <FluxD> prince_jammys, default find is also case sensitive rifht?
[09:50] <alanbshepard70> wng: I believe you need to install the mplayer plugin
[09:50] <prince_jammys> FluxD: within the entire filesystem::   sudo find / -iname '*mysql*'   or sudo find / -iname 'mysql*'
[09:50] <wng-> thanks alanbshepard70
[09:51] <FluxD> prince_jammys, ok ty
[09:51] <prince_jammys> FluxD: * if mysql is only part of the file name
[09:52] <prince_jammys> FluxD: an alternate way is ::  locate filename  <--- this searches a saved index of your file system and is faster, though less accurate if the index is not up to date
[09:53] <FluxD> prince_jammys, thats what I was looking for! u already did sudo updatedb
[09:53] <cox377> hey all
[09:54] <prince_jammys> FluxD: i don't know how to make that one case insensitive, check man locate
[09:54] <FluxD> thx prince_jammys
[09:54] <prince_jammys> FluxD:  locate -i
[09:54] <cox377> i've created a start up script, when i run it with ./script it works. I've made it executable and added to /etc/rc.d but it doesnt seem to run on start up. anyone got any ideas?
[09:55] <jhaig> Using Feisty and I cannot get the "Preferences" window in Firefox open.  Can anyone help?  This is a problem for me because I need to set it to use a proxy server.
[09:55] <prince_jammys> FluxD: locate -i mysql <--- * not necessary here
[09:56] <FluxD> prince_jammys, got it thanks that worked

[10:05] <Skitt> tricklen: do you have a linux running right now on this pc?
[10:06] <tricklen> Skitt: xp, full of spyware and the likes
[10:06] <tricklen> Skitt: it's not mine
[10:06] <Skitt> nasty ^^
[10:06] <alanbshepard70> tricklen: you've tried to boot normally and it doesn't work so you tried safe graphics mode correct? In safe graphics mode you can get to a desktop with no menu bars at all. Does the screen move around if you drag your cursor near the edge of the screen.
[10:06] <simplg> hi! I can't to find options in sed for selection certain line from file. Know anybody about that?
[10:06] <rosebuntu__> put xp into trash can
[10:07] <rosebuntu__> it's wholely crap
[10:07] <prince_jammys> simplg: what do you want to do?
[10:07] <tricklen> alanbshepard70: no, the mouse pointer hits the lower edge and upper edge
[10:07] <tricklen> alanbshepard70: of the screen
[10:07] <jkonso> pk
[10:07] <rosebuntu__> is this funny? =>^___________^
[10:08] <prince_jammys> hilarious
[10:08] <rosebuntu__> hey guys, take it easy
[10:08] <simplg> prince_jammys, I need certain line from stdout (I'm writing script now)
[10:09] <snorkel> anybody suggest anything for fixing dropped frames in vlc?
[10:09] <tricklen> alanbshepard70: do you think there's any chance things will work better if i do a full install. most likely no ha?
[10:09] <prince_jammys> simplg: describe exacty what you want -- you a want a line number or the content of the line -- and what is special about the line you want?
[10:10] <HinHin> Hi there
[10:10] <BernardB> magnetron, what command is an standard command for ffmeg, converting avi to mp4?
[10:10] <alanbshepard70> tricklen: in my experience if a problem occurs with a live CD it will still occur on a full install. The one thing to hope for would be that after the install you could run updates and maybe one of the updates fixes your issue.
[10:10] <TheDesert> hey
[10:10] <jkonso> hi
[10:10] <tricklen> IS there a way to enter the control panel without accessing the menu bar?
[10:10] <rosebuntu__> bernardB / type mencorder --help
[10:11] <tricklen> so that i could check resolution etc?
[10:11] <foo> I'm on dapper and want to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu. Anyway to do this without reinstalling?
[10:11] <foo> I've heard the upgrade past dapper doesn't go so smoothly.
[10:11] <HinHin> I'm trying to apt-get install something again, but it's asking to resolve dependcies... the thing i need to install a driver to get THAT computer online
[10:11] <kim> is it possible to force growisofs to burn to a dual layer dvd when the iso is below dvd5 size?
[10:11] <HinHin> so basicly the computer is offline
[10:11] <BernardB> rosebuntu, command not found?
[10:11] <astro76> foo: you would be best served waiting until april to upgrade to 8.04
[10:11] <simplg> prince_jammys, I want the content of the line with according to number
[10:11] <credible> foo: it will be possible to upgrade directly to hardy once it is released
[10:11] <astro76> foo: otherwise you have to go through each version
[10:11] <simplg> prince_jammys, I want the content of the line according to number
[10:11] <HinHin> sudo apt-get autoremove or autoclean don't work, also apt-get remove -f doesn't work
[10:12] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: Download the dependancies on a internet connected computer and transfer the files to the computer with no net access
[10:12] <rosebuntu__> install mencorder
[10:12] <alanbshepard70> credible: Most likely yes.
[10:12] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, i have the offline deb files... but apt-get is telling me to apt-get install -f
[10:12] <HinHin> to resolve some depencies
[10:13] <HinHin> the thing i don't need that stuff
[10:13] <HinHin> i just to access to apt-get again
[10:13] <prince_jammys> simplg: i dont understand exactly what you need.  you want to output lines that contain a specific text?
[10:13] <credible> alanbshepard70: eh?
[10:13] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: you need to put the .deb files in the right spot first. /var/cache/apt/ or sudo apt-get install /home/me/asdf.deb
[10:14] <prince_jammys> simplg: or text pattern?   these questions are difficult to answer if you don't give a good description of what you need, and what your input file looks like -- and what you want to output
[10:14] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, so it's not possible to purge the stuff all together?
[10:14] <alanbshepard70> credible: sorry I didn't read you correctly. I thought you were asking if you could upgrade to hardy from gutsy. My bad.
[10:14] <HinHin> i just want a working apt-get
[10:14] <nirma> hi all
[10:15] <HinHin> i don't care about what it's trying to resolve
[10:15] <foo> credible: I'd be able to upgrade directly to hardy once it is released.. by directly, you mean, without having to reinstall?
[10:15] <rosebuntu__> HinHin / you need internet connection. it's the easiest way to solce the problem
[10:15] <credible> foo: yes, directly from dapper -> hardy
[10:15] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: purge together? I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to install all the files at once you can use sudo apt-get install packagea packageb .... blah
[10:15] <foo> credible: hmm. I see. And if I didn't, could I upgrade to fiesty (7.10) right now without having to reinstall?
[10:15] <HinHin> the thing is... XD i need to apt-get working SO i can get the driver installed to get the internet working for that comp rosebuntu
[10:15] <rosebuntu__> dapper -> feisty ->gutsy ->hardy
[10:16] <rosebuntu__> what next?
[10:16] <simplg> prince_jammys, ok. i need to output line in accordance with its number (number of line).
[10:16] <astro76> !codenames | rosebuntu__
[10:16] <ubotu> rosebuntu__: Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more
[10:16] <credible> foo: you'd have to upgrade to edgy, then feisty, then gutsy
[10:16] <glick> hey does anyone have any idea why, my new dell laptop says 15gigs are in use, when i cant see what is taking up that much space?
[10:16] <rosebuntu__> i****?
[10:16] <prince_jammys> simpleg: you just want to add line numbers to every line in the file?
[10:16] <credible> foo: it will only be supported to go from Dapper to Hardy because they're both LTS releases
[10:16] <Filled-Void> HinHin, Id recommend using the above methods but once I was able to install using the dpkg command. However this wont resolve any dependencies issue so basically it could screw up pretty bad I think. I think the command was dpkg -i but you might want to check here
[10:17] <rosebuntu__> ubiotu / thank you
[10:17] <frog> hallo
[10:17] <foo> credible: right. Yeah, I don't mind to go to edgy, then feisty, then gusty. Should that process go smoothly?
[10:17] <astro76> Filled-Void, HinHin, dpkg -i won't screw up, it just won't install if there are unresolved dependencies
[10:17] <gold44> is there a command to check the total disk space of a hard drive? df -h only showed formatted partitions
[10:17] <alanbshepard70> foo: even if it's possible I wouldn't do it. I think you'd spend more time upgrading and putting things at risk than if you just downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the latest release.
[10:17] <credible> foo: no, that would take forever
[10:17] <astro76> foo: I wouldn't recommend it
[10:18] <HinHin> astro76, yup
[10:18] <prince_jammys> simplg if that is what you want, you can do "   cat -n filename "   ---> try for example cat -n /etc/fstab
[10:18] <simplg> prince_jammys, sorry. i need to output content of line in accordance with its number (number of line).
[10:18] <Johnny123> i
[10:18] <Filled-Void> astro76, Yeah but if any of them actually need something youre basically screwed no :x ?
[10:18] <HinHin> ;_;.. it realy should be a simple thing for apt-get
[10:18] <Johnny123> "i
[10:18] <frog> kann mir einer helfen bin neu hier!
[10:18] <astro76> foo: the upgrade process in general is working better since feisty
[10:18] <HinHin> basicly people trying to get their drivers working offline are screwed
[10:18] <Johnny123> i-can-haz-cheeseburger??
[10:18] <HinHin> if they make a mistake anyway
[10:19] <simplg> prince_jammys, no... this is not that... but thank you for you help
[10:19] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: Why can't the computer get net access? You're trying to use a wireless card? Does the computer have an ethernet port? I'm guessing no.
[10:20] <db92> anyone who could help me config grub? bcos this is my brother's pc and i cant afford one myself,  and "he doesnt want the bootloader" when it starts, is there someway to hide bootloader under normal circumstances and make it appear on keypress, or something relevant? :P
[10:20] <prince_jammys> simplg #bash, but they wont answer without a more specific description
[10:20] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, it's a special wireless device i'm trying to get to work
[10:20] <HinHin> it uses vodaphone's over the air mobile service
[10:20] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: does the computer not have an ethernet port?
[10:20] <HinHin> it does
[10:20] <HinHin> but it won't work
[10:21] <HinHin> it's not a land based connection a.k.a not cable, adsl etc
[10:21] <Tyczek> is adobe flash player fixed yet?
[10:22] <alanbshepard70> Have you tried bridging net access from the computer that can connect to the one that can't? Do you have a router/switch?
[10:22] <Filled-Void> Tyczek, Think so otherwise it would have been in the Topic for the channel. At least it was earlier
[10:22] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, :( unfortunely that's not an option
[10:22] <Tyczek> Filled-Void, thanks ;)
[10:23] <Filled-Void> Tyczek, Np
[10:23] <ere4si> !flash
[10:23] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[10:23] <db92> also, someone who can guide me through installing emulation libs on amd64 system, or that isnt needed anymore?
[10:23] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: Have you tried putting the packages on a disc and telling ubuntu to use it as a repo?
[10:23] <rosebuntu__> hey guys, you are changing the world
[10:24] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, that won't work either
[10:24] <rosebuntu__> ^_________________________^
[10:24] <Filled-Void> HinHin, yeah thats they wayI do my installs I download from a similar machine and then use Aptoncd and then just install them on my machine at home
[10:24] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: you've tried it and it failed or....?
[10:24] <HinHin> pretty much i just need to get apt-get to ignore some packages tempory
[10:25] <HinHin> the packages aren't there
[10:25] <rosebuntu__> HinHin / type apt-get autoremove
[10:25] <HinHin> well... some are but they aren't up-to-date enough
[10:25] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: It needs those other packages for a reason. Your package most likely will not work without them
[10:25] <HinHin> it doesn't work
[10:25] <HinHin> :\
[10:25] <HinHin> alanbshepard70, it looks like it :(
[10:26] <rosebuntu__> HinHin / where are you from? are you Chinese?
[10:26] <HinHin> it's quite alot of depencies it wants
[10:26] <HinHin> i'm from australia :P
[10:26] <HinHin> yup and chinenese :P
[10:26] <HinHin> btw thanks for the help anyway alanbshepard70 rosebuntu__ ;)
[10:27] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: the computer you're on now, is it running ubuntu. You could make a script to download all the packages automatically instead of one by one.
[10:28] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: I'm going to test something for you to use, let me see if it will work.
[10:28] <HinHin> i'm using a windows pc atm
[10:28] <HinHin> thanks alanbshepard70 ;)
[10:31] <gad0> doesnt gutsy repos include songbird... apt give no result ?
[10:31] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: Well to get a full list of dependencies you can use synaptic to mark all the downloads you need then goto "file-> generate package download script" and you will get a full list of the packages you need plus links. I guess the problem is that windows has no way of downloading these one by one for you, that I know of anyway.
[10:31] <TuxCrafter> hello guys
[10:32] <simplg> prince_jammys, ok. I found that option. This is "sed -n Np" where N is the line number
[10:32] <TuxCrafter> anybody experiencing shutdown problems>
[10:32] <TuxCrafter> ?
[10:32] <n2diy> Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously?
[10:32] <HinHin> ah alanbshepard70 yea thought about that
[10:32] <HinHin> :( oh wells
[10:32] <prince_jammys> simplg good, sorry -- i never knew what you wanted
[10:32] <HinHin> I'll just go download the dependencies one by one
[10:32] <lyte> TuxCrafter: why don't you ask a more specific question, or actually outline your problem?
[10:34] <simplg> prince_jammys, never mind. in any case thanks :)
[10:34] <TuxCrafter> anybody experincing a hang after sudo shutdown -h now i got two pc's that will not powerdown, it seems like all software is killed but it just wont fiscal powerdown?
[10:34] <alanbshepard70> HinHin: This is a possibly silly way to do it but you could generate the download script, open it and replace wget -c with nothing and then you have just a file of links. If you open it with firefox and use an extension like downthemall you can have it download all the packages with one click and the resume dl function.
[10:35] <astro76> HinHin, alanbshepard70, actually you can get wget for windows, either natively compiled or cygwin
[10:35] <alanbshepard70> astro76: well there you go even better HinHin.
[10:35] <ArthurArchnix> How do I lock down my desktop? I have all my panels setup just the way I like, and now I want to prevent the creation/deletion/moving of panels. I also want to prevent the editing of panels, adding, removing, etc. It's just the way I like it, but sometimes I slip or something and my panel moves, or a new panel is created when I maybe hit a shortcut I don't know about.
[10:35] <astro76> HinHin: with cygwin you have the benefit of the shell also, for the script
[10:36] <ArthurArchnix> I think I need to change the permissions on a file to read only... but I'm not sure what file.
[10:36] <foo> ls
[10:36] <HinHin> lol awesome idea guys
[10:36] <HinHin> XD
[10:36] <n2diy> TuxCrafter: Yes, both of my IBM Multipros do this.
[10:36] <foo> err, who was I talking to in here about upgrading?
[10:36] <HinHin> i've got Damm small linux running of cgwin
[10:37] <HinHin> *on
[10:37] <prince_jammys> simplg i see now, you wanted to print only a specified line in your file
[10:37] <HinHin> oh wait... never mind
[10:37] <TuxCrafter> n2diy: how long? my behavior was starting this last few days
[10:37] <prince_jammys> simplg you give the line number, and it prints only that line ..... understood
[10:38] <simplg> prince_jammys, I'm from Russia. This is complex for me to describe the problem. I talk on English very bad.
[10:38] <TuxCrafter> n2diy: wicked i just tested my laptop here and now it is shuting down again
[10:38] <n2diy> TuxCrafter: Since forever, I normally don't shut down, and it is 1996 hardware, so it was never an issue here.
[10:38] <prince_jammys> simplg i understand now ... you say line 3 and it prints only line 3
[10:38] <TuxCrafter> maybe got someting to do with sshfs
[10:38] <ArthurArchnix> simplg: There should be a russian channel
[10:38] <foo> Is it possible to upgrade from dappeer to fiesty?
[10:39] <astro76> foo: dapper > edgy > feisty
[10:39] <gad0> how do i install songbird ?
[10:39] <gad0> !songbird
[10:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:39] <foo> astro76: thanks, is it possible via upgrade? I heard there were issues for upgrade from dapper to edgy. Am I right?
[10:40] <n2diy> TuxCrafter: A laptop eh? My boxes are servers, they don't like to be shut down. I'd bet your laptop likes to hibernate? Sounds like an APM issue?
[10:40] <astro76> foo: perhaps, as I mentioned before, my general sense is that upgrades are working flawlessly only since feisty
[10:40] <foo> astro76: ok, so I may run into an issue?
[10:41] <simplg> ArthurArchnix, Us channel has very little people. Sorry.
[10:41] <astro76> foo: I really couldn't say
[10:42] <astro76> foo: if you want to be certain, follow everyone's recommendation and wait for dapper > hardy ;)
[10:42] <rosebuntu__> hey guys~ i love you
[10:42] <astro76> and as always, backup
[10:42] <foo> astro76: ah, ok, I'll just do that I suppose.
[10:43] <rosebuntu__> i love ubuntu. i love ubuntu users
[10:43] <astro76> foo: if I wanted to upgrade to gutsy now, from dapper, I woudl clean install, no question
[10:43] <foo> astro76: good call, thanks
[10:43] <foo> rosebuntu__: uh, what?
[10:44] <foo> err, my system just started acting weird. keystrokes  are  all  messed up. It's like my keyboard is dying. I plugged in another one, same issue.  Channel emergency!

[10:44] <foo> astro76: eh, ok. My  bad.
[10:44] <PKsteR> How can I stop Nautilus from loging?
[10:45] <Filled-Void> what does the command sudo apt-get build-deps wine mean? It installs the dependencies of wine?
[10:45] <francesco> Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open a wav file. I need DVI ADPCM codec. Where can i find it? Thank you.
[10:45] <astro76> elkbuntu: he/she has been, yes
[10:45] <foo> Frogzoo: I have, 3 times. I'm kind of confused. *thinks*
[10:45] <divinemonkey_> yes filled-void it gets the dependencies for you
[10:45] <astro76> foo: no worries ;)
[10:45] <Filled-Void> divinemonkey_, thank you
[10:45] <ArthurArchnix> Does anyone know how to lock down a desktop, preventing changes to panels, creation of new panels, etc....
[10:46] <elkbuntu> rosebuntu__, random chatter and expressions of gratitude generally fall into the offtopic category and are better served in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:46] <francesco> Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open a wav file. I need DVI ADPCM codec. Where can i find it? Thank you.
[10:46] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: You can't open 'A' wav file, or ANY wav files?
[10:46] <Frogzoo> ArthurArchnix: search the ubuntu docs for those instructions
[10:47] <bertvdp> hey, I could use some help configuring file sharing in samba, anyone here who can help ?
[10:47] <francesco> ArthurArchnix: Any wave file, of course, that need that codec.
[10:47] <ArthurArchnix> Frogzoo: I have been. Forums too.
[10:47] <ArthurArchnix> !mediabuntu | francesco
[10:47] <PKsteR> How come every time I sart Ubunu there is a nautilus log in my home folder?
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: this would be easy would be easy if there were separate config files for the panel... it uses gconf however
[10:47] <ArthurArchnix> !medibuntu | francesco
[10:47] <ubotu> francesco: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[10:48] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: The instructions you need are on that page.
[10:48] <jordie> how come my hard drives dont always mount when i boot?
[10:48] <n2diy> Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously?
[10:48] <traxdata> hello
[10:48] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: I see.
[10:48] <francesco> ArthurArchnix: Can I install the codec using synaptic manager?
[10:48] <traxdata> can somebody help me?
[10:48] <traxdata> i'm windows xp user now and want to install ubuntu
[10:48] <traxdata> need help, please
[10:48] <jordie> lol
[10:48] <foo> traxdata: yes, ask your question
[10:48] <jordie> do you have the cd?
[10:48] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: Yes, but first you need to follow the directions on that page, and add a new repository that synpatic can use.
[10:49] <foo> traxdata: Welcome to IRC. Never ask to ask
[10:49] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: I'd help if I had a clue, perhaps there is a way to lock individual keys or subtrees in gconf
[10:49] <francesco> ArthurArchnix: Excuse me, but, what is a repository?
[10:49] <traxdata> jordie, yes, i have ubuntu live CDs 6.06
[10:49] <prince_jammys> francesco: a server that contains packages for you to download and install
[10:49] <jordie> do you plan on having xp running aswell?
[10:50] <bertvdp> ArthurArchnix, normally you get all codecs if you install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:50] <astro76> traxdata: I'd highly recommend getting the latest 7.10
[10:50] <traxdata> why?
[10:50] <traxdata> isn't it ok to use 6.06?
[10:50] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: Repositories are sources of programs, packages, updates, etc. Ubuntu has a few setup by default to take care of your system, and let you add new programs. Some programs can't be included in these repositories due to legal reasons. So you need to manually add them.
[10:50] <mous16> where i can find the latest sources of emerald? there is anofficial site for emerald?
[10:50] <francesco> Ok, I'll try this way. Thank you very much.
[10:51] <bertvdp> traxdata, 7.10 is more up to dat, it supports more hardware, has more features and is better supported through IRC (but not if you have commercial support)
[10:51] <traxdata> bertvdp, i'm bulgarian
[10:51] <ArthurArchnix> bertvdp: I used to use that as well, but dvd playback isn't found in that anymore (if it ever was) so it turns out its necessary to add the medibuntu repository anyway. For me, and anyone else who wants to play dvd's. And if I recall correctly, the restricted-extras contains java5, I like to manually add 6. But franceso may like to hear about that option.
[10:51] <n2diy> traxdata: 6.06 is Long Term Support (LTS) so it better be ok!?
[10:52] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: No worries. I'll let you know if I find anything. ;)
[10:52] <traxdata> and i've waited for these CDs longer
[10:52] <bertvdp> !ubuntu-bu | traxdata
[10:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-bu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:52] <babo> I've done a screen-capture recording, but the problem is that the sound kinda sucks. There's this background noise level. What can I do ?
[10:52] <astro76> traxdata: ah well in that case go ahead and use it, you can upgrade later
[10:52] <bertvdp> ArthurAchnix, it still is, you only have to call the libdvdcss creating command ;)
[10:53] <jordie> WTB: a life
[10:53] <alanbshepard70> babo: did you capture the audio from your mic? is that what you were intending to record?
[10:53] <babo> alanbshepard70, yeah - from the mic. It's a voice recording
[10:53] <babo> I'm talking over the presentation ...

[10:54] <ubotu> ArthurAchnix: 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
[10:54] <ArthurArchnix> bertvdp: Huh... well I might go back to it if that's the case. It was my one big gripe. What do you mean, call the libdvdcss creating command.
[10:54] <alanbshepard70> babo: noise comes from the outside or by your audio card. My suggestion would be a better mic or a quiter room or both.
[10:54] <traxdata> my computer is very weak but soon i gonna buy a new one so it'll be temporary
[10:54] <n2diy> traxdata: BUt, just because 6.06 is LTS, doesn't mean we'll find the support here, everyone here is a volunteer.
[10:54] <babo> alanbshepard70, a better mic ? hmm
[10:54] <traxdata> listen, listen to me
[10:54] <TuxCrafter> thanks for the info
[10:55] <toto> i can't umount my cdrom after i have read some videos on it. It's busy by dbus-launch and dbus-daemon
[10:55] <alanbshepard70> babo: are you just using a built in mic or a cheapo one?
[10:55] <bertvdp> ArthurArchnix, libdvdread contains dvd support, but for encrypted DVDs you need to enable libdvdcss (which is illegal but nececary to play dvds), I'll search the command, 2 min.
[10:55] <TuxCrafter> i have to go now
[10:55] <TuxCrafter> bye
[10:55] <babo> alanbshepard70, cheapo one ...
[10:55] <traxdata> i just want to keep my music and some files from WinXP after installing ubuntu
[10:55] <ArthurArchnix> bertvdp: Oh... you mean just do that one command, the wget, keyadd, install libdvd... yeah. But you're still going to medibuntu to get it. That's all I was trying to say. You're right though, there's technically no need to add the medibuntu repository.
[10:55] <babo> alanbshepard70, how much is a good mic these days ?
[10:55] <n2diy> Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously?
[10:55] <traxdata> that's possible, isn't it?
[10:56] <babo> it'd need to have a 'walkman' type connection to fit into my computer ...
[10:56] <bertvdp> ArthurArchnix, no, I don't mean that, give me 2 min. I'll search it on ubuntuforums
[10:56] <babo> what's that connection type called ?
[10:56] <onats> is there a way to have both my ethernet and my wireless active at the same time?
[10:57] <traxdata> can somebody help mee??
[10:57] <bertvdp> ArthusArchnix, if you call this it installs libdvdcss: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[10:58] <bertvdp> ArthurArchnix, if you call this it installs libdvdcss: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[10:58] <ArthurArchnix> bertvdp: After you install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" if you do that it adds dvd playback support?
[10:58] <traxdata> i just want to keep my music and some files from WinXP after installing ubuntu
[10:59] <traxdata> that's possible, isn't it?
[10:59] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: no still no libdvdcss2
[10:59] <bertvdp> ArthurArchnix, yes indeed
[10:59] <ArthurArchnix> bertvdp: Nice. Thanks for that.
[10:59] <ArthurArchnix> I'll give it a try on my next reinstall.
[10:59] <bertvdp> astro76: install ubuntu-restricted-extras, then open a terminal and call this: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[10:59] <alanbshepard71> babo: sorry my irc client just freaked. What I was going to say is that if this is a one time need I wouldn't spend the money on a new mic myself.
[11:00] <astro76> bertvdp: yes I understand what he meant now
[11:00] <bsdnewb07> hey guys, how can i check if i had 2 hdds installed, as it looks like i only have one installed?
[11:00] <babo> alanbshepard70, what would you do then ?
[11:00] <bertvdp> bsdnewn07, just check it using gparted or call a blkid or fdisk -l command (if your a command-line guy)
[11:00] <astro76> bsdnewb07: sudo fdisk -l
[11:00] <prince_jammys> ArthurArchnix: it's a script that does what you described, cat and see
[11:01] <Frogzoo> bsdnewb07: for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd$x ; done
[11:01] <prince_jammys> ArthurArchnix: wget, etc
[11:01] <glick> hey how can i see what services are active on my ubuntu syste,?
[11:01] <glick> like if any servers are running
[11:01] <alanbshepard71> babo: goto a silent room with all fans and speakers off except maybe headphones to hear yourself talk and then record your presentation. If it still sounds unpleasant use audio software to "fix up" the audio.
[11:01] <ArthurArchnix> prince_jammys:  astro76 The OP was looking for instructions on wav support. I'd steered him away from ubuntu-restricted-extras because its available from medibuntu and since I thought you needed that to use medibuntu for dvd playback. bertvdp was kind enough to correct me. Unfortunately, the op is no longer here to benefit. :)
[11:02] <bsdnewb07> ah brilliant, they are installed
[11:02] <glick> how can i stop services?
[11:02] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: hehe
[11:02] <babo> alanbshepard70, k thanks
[11:02] <prince_jammys> ArthurArchnix: oh i know , i was just talking about the install.sh script and what it does
[11:02] <bsdnewb07> can 2 hdds be merged into 1 so 2 x 80 gives me 160gb of storage? - for things like vmware?
[11:02] <ArthurArchnix> prince_jammys: Ah... yeah, I'm gonna check that out come Hardy time.
[11:02] <prince_jammys> ArthurArchnix: i just looked at it
[11:03] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: if you installed the second drive and configured it to be additional storage you will notice that your home folder has the free space of both your install drive and the other drive as well. Ubuntu/linux ties them together in most cases.
[11:03] <tricklen> i get no menu bar on the live cd
[11:03] <tricklen> can't do anything
[11:03] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: is that the case?
[11:03] <tricklen> should i try changing screen resolution?
[11:03] <astro76> bsdnewb07: I believe you can do that with LVM
[11:03] <bsdnewb07> ill check
[11:03] <bsdnewb07> 2 ticks
[11:04] <tricklen> and, how do i do that if i can't get to the menubar?
[11:04] <tricklen> and alt + f2 doesn't work?
[11:04] <glick> how do i stop apache from starting when the system start?
[11:04] <family> hey guys i have a .flv file on my computer and i wish to play it how would i do this? what codec would i use or what not im not to sure
[11:04] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard70: this is what it says
[11:04] <bsdnewb07> Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>6 bytes
[11:04] <bsdnewb07> Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>6 bytes
[11:04] <maxiounet> plop
[11:04] <maxiounet> j'ai un problème avec conky
[11:05] <egg_dm> family: use ffplay to play .flv files
[11:05] <maxiounet> quand par exemple je reduit une fenetre, il apparait pas de suite
[11:05] <prince_jammys> !fr | maxiounet
[11:05] <ubotu> maxiounet: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:05] <family> oo thank ya
[11:05] <maxiounet> oh
[11:05] <maxiounet> sorry
[11:05] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: not fdisk, if you look at the status bar of your home folder what does it show as free space? Even right click a file and hit properties, both will tell you.
[11:05] <maxiounet> bye
[11:06] <alanbshepard71> !gnash | family
[11:06] <ubotu> family: An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[11:06] <bsdnewb07> im using ssh not the gui
[11:06] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: ahh i see.
[11:06] <astro76> bsdnewb07: the interesting output to look at would be 'mount' and 'df -h'
[11:06] <glick> where are servers started?
[11:06] <db92> i386 apps will not work on amd64 installation?
[11:07] <alanbshepard71> family: I'm pretty sure gnash will play flv files.
[11:07] <Filled-Void> db92, Not true
[11:07] <family> k i didnt see ffplay only ffmpeg
[11:07] <family> im going to look at gnash
[11:07] <db92> Filled-Void: im just asking cos i remember back on 5.10 you needed something like ia32 libs or whatever
[11:07] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard70: may i pm you the output?
[11:07] <egg_dm> db92: there are wayst to get 32 bit apps to run on 64 bit machines, but it takes some mojo and something called chroot (I think)
[11:07] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: sure
[11:08] <jscinoz> Hey guys, im using xserver-xgl as it gives makes desktop things much smoother, however if i run any games while using xserver-xgl, the shading in many games is messed up and they have lower framerates, i can run the games with DISPLAY=:0 and they run fine, but i lose desktop integration features, is there any way to run them properly on xserver-xgl?
[11:08] <tricklen> is there really no way to get the menu bar showing?
[11:08] <egg_dm> family: you may have to download a package that contains it.
[11:08] <astro76> family: ffplay is part of ffmpeg
[11:08] <tricklen> alt + f2 isn't working either
[11:08] <db92> egg_dm: i know tis tough, i just need some kind of guide to make it work :P
[11:08] <tricklen> what should i do?
[11:08] <Filled-Void> db92, Ah ok. Usually theres a 64 bit equivalent or its 32 bit works or as said above you can force architecture or something which is way beyond me
[11:08] <astro76> family: if you type a command in a terminal that you don't have, the message will tell you what to install to get it ;)
[11:08] <egg_dm> family: and astro76 said it.  Install ffmpeg and you should be fine
[11:08] <bremby> hi, can I set a different keymap in the login screen?
[11:09] <family> aww
[11:09] <prince_jammys> tricklen: you could try the text-only install if a graphical install keeps failing for you
[11:09] <tricklen> prince_jammys: hmm... the installation will go fine i suppose
[11:09] <family> im running ubuntu 6.06 i typed in sudo apt-get install ffplay :)
[11:09] <prince_jammys> tricklen: then install gnome/kde from there
[11:09] <Dogga> ....
[11:09] <tricklen> prince_jammys: but what should i do when i've installed ubuntu
[11:09] <db92> Filled-Void: if i have app src, is there a way to compile for it to work on x64?
[11:09] <tricklen> prince_jammys: i still get no menu bar i suppose
[11:10] <egg_dm> family: mplayer ought to be able to play .flv files as well, now that I think about it
[11:10] <family> k
[11:10] <family> :)
[11:10] <prince_jammys> tricklen: you mean you have already installed ubuntu and get no menu bar, or are still trying to install from live cd?
[11:10] <Filled-Void> db92, Yes Im sure here was a trick to do that. I recall the 64 bit forums on Ubuntuforums having those instructions although I havent personally usaed it. IM on 64 bit though
[11:10] <egg_dm> family: and mplayer is a much better video player than ffplay IMHO
[11:11] <tricklen> prince_jammys: live cd
[11:11] <tricklen> prince_jammys: what more could i do when i've installed the thing?
[11:11] <Dogga> Hello. Has anyone got video streaming (not flash) working in firefox-3.0 ??
[11:11] <tricklen> prince_jammys: that i can't do now
[11:11] <db92> Filled-Void: so you just use apps not i386 based? >>
[11:11] <tricklen> prince_jammys: i have this problem with fedora also
[11:11] <family> k sounds good im going to try this right now :)
[11:12] <Filled-Void> db92, I think all I use is 64 based. But I recall ia32.lib being used.
[11:12] <alanbshepard71> family: with the right codecs installed totem (the built in player for gutsy) plays any file type I throw at it just fine.
[11:12] <tricklen> prince_jammys: to you think it could have something to do with screen resolution
[11:12] <prince_jammys> tricklen: if you install the base system first and then install the desktop,  i assume things should work from there...
[11:12] <family> thats what im trying to find right now :)
[11:12] <family> the right codec
[11:12] <tricklen> prince_jammys: i'm sure i'm seing the whole screen as the mouse pointer hits the edges of top and bottom of the screen
[11:13] <family> so ill install ffmpeg an see if it works if not ill ask again:P
[11:13] <family> thank you guys for your help
[11:13] <prince_jammys> tricklen: i don't know --- sometimes related to hardware, RAM --- because with the live CD you are running the whole desktop from CD
[11:13] <egg_dm> family: welcome
[11:13] <tricklen> prince_jammys: thanks, i'll be back
[11:13] <jscinoz> Hey guys, im using xserver-xgl as it gives makes desktop things much smoother, however if i run any games while using xserver-xgl, the shading in many games is messed up and they have lower framerates, i can run the games with DISPLAY=:0 and they run fine, but i lose desktop integration features, is there any way to run them properly on xserver-xgl?
[11:13] <prince_jammys> prince_jammys: i have had this problem, but don't know the solution -- ended up installing console only and then installed graphical desktop by hand
[11:13] <fdsafds> is there a keyboard command i can hit to run xkill
[11:14] <astro76> fdsafds: alt + f2
[11:14] <prince_jammys> tricklen: i have had this problem, but don't know the solution -- ended up installing console only and then installed graphical desktop by hand
[11:14] <fdsafds> last time i do an alt+fx i went into a run level 3 looking thing even tho the other was running in the background still playing music
[11:14] <prince_jammys> tricklen you will need to install the X server and then gnome or KDE -- check the internet for howto, unless someone here knows
[11:15] <astro76> fdsafds: that was ctrl + alt + f1 through f6 for the virtual consoles
[11:15] <astro76> fdsafds: ctrl + alt + f7 to get back from that
[11:15] <fdsafds> hmm, f7?
[11:15] <db92> hm, i downloaded a linux driver for my soundcard (creative xfi xtrememusic) which was x86_64 and when i run installer it tells me "this is for 64 bit os only", something im doing wrong or? :P
[11:15] <astro76> fdsafds: but what you want now is alt + f2
[11:16] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: Found the setting to lock down panels
[11:16] <fdsafds> and that'll make my cursor turn into a little x to kill things?
[11:16] <ArthurArchnix> Woot!
[11:16] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: do tell
[11:16] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard71: did u get the pm?
[11:16] <fdsafds> or that'll give me a terminal
[11:16] <egg_dm> db92: are you running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu?
[11:16] <astro76> fdsafds: that will bring a little box to type xkill  in
[11:16] <db92> wait, i have the suspicion i may have been a bit enough idiot to get confused and download 32 bit. how do i check?
[11:16] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: no
[11:16] <fdsafds> ok, well im hoping that works next time a wine app goes dead in full screen mode with window management turned off
[11:17] <prince_jammys> tricklen you can do it with a single command using apt-get install, but i don't remember the list of packages you need
[11:17] <astro76> fdsafds: not sure about that one
[11:17] <egg_dm> db92: maybe in the package name?  or just download again to make sure
[11:17] <astro76> fdsafds: stuff like that you should learn how to switch to the previously mentioned virtual consoles, and kill the wine process from there
[11:17] <ArthurArchnix> In gconf, apps/panel/global/locked_down check it. Restart panel, and bamn, bob is your unyielding uncle.
[11:18] <ArthurArchnix> Now the girlfriend can't mess up my panels anymore. :)
[11:18] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: ah pretty simple, I never really browsed around
[11:18] <fdsafds> o yeah astro that would work, so when im in the virtual console if i hit alt+f7 it'll bring me back ?
[11:18] <db92> im certain im on 64bit ubuntu since the cd said ubuntu 7.10 amd64, yet the package doesnt work. weird :p
[11:19] <astro76> fdsafds: yes
[11:19] <egg_dm> db92: and you're certain it's a 64 bit package?
[11:19] <db92> ye, it says so in the readme
[11:19] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: Yeah. That's how it always is it seems. You want to do something.. can't can't can't, and just before you write a stern letter to the dumb developers you find there's a really simple solution. delete, don't send, don't save. Phew.
[11:19] <glick> anyone?
[11:19] <egg_dm> db92: I R konfuzed also
[11:20] <db92> egg_dm: ye i dont understand why it wouldnt work
[11:20] <bsdnewb07> vgmerge /dev/sda  /dev/sdb  - would that work to merge them 2 drives into 1 larger storage space?
[11:21] <glick> im trying to find out which servers are running on my machine
[11:21] <oly-> i am having a problem, in that i can not select file icons with a left click and left clicking in the menu makes it show and hide again holding down the button works though
[11:21] <oly-> can anyone point me in the direction of config files or settings that might effect this behaviour
[11:21] <bullgard4> What is a 'NetBIOS name'? (man  nmblookup: "NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names."
[11:21] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: it appears so to me.
[11:22] <astro76> bullgard4: netbios is windows networking
[11:22] <FluxD> !server
[11:22] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[11:22] <filthpig> Are there any norwegian users in here who uses a PCI DVB decoder for Canal Digital?
[11:22] <astro76> bullgard4: think network neighborhood
[11:22] <bullgard4> astro76: But my question was: " What is a 'NetBIOS name'?"
[11:22] <ensai09> salut
[11:23] <bsdnewb07> vgmerge /dev/sda  /dev/sdb  - would that work to merge them 2 drives into 1 larger storage space?
[11:23] <astro76> bullgard4: I figured once you knew what netbios was that would be obvious
[11:23] <family> no go guys i downloaded kmplayer ffmpeg and tried to play that .flv in totem, kmplayer and vlc nothings workin :(
[11:24] <FluxD> family, !w32codecs
[11:24] <family> im gona see if i can transfer it to my xbox and play it there :)
[11:25] <Filled-Void> db92, uname -a what do you get
[11:26] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard71: u still here?
[11:26] <db92> Linux (my username) 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:26] <db92> so im certain tis x64 :P
[11:26] <egg_dm> family: did you try 'ffplay filename.flv' from the command line?

[11:28] <db92> anyone knows of any grub config app or method? at least where the menu.lst and grub.cfg are?
[11:29] <superos> Is it possible to run Nautilus in the foreground ? When I start it from a terminal it goes to the background, as if I added a '&'.
[11:29] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: I'm here, did you get my PMs?
[11:29] <aspro> quit
[11:29] <astro76> db92: locate menu.lst ;)
[11:29] <bsdnewb07> no i didnt :/
[11:29] <egg_dm> db92: menu.lst and grub.cfg should both be in your /boot directory
[11:30] <ifireball> superos: I thing running it like that typically sends command to the already-running nautilus rather then spawning a new one
[11:30] <talonz> hi guys can someone help me with a quick prob
[11:30] <egg_dm> talonz: don't ask, just ask
[11:30] <zeeb> can anyone recommend a binary usenet app for ubuntu? i used newsbin pro in xp
[11:31] <ifireball> superos: try killing the existing Nautilus before running from the command line and see what happens (you will probably lose the desktop icons that way though)
[11:31] <arno-t> hi all how can I fix the date string format? I have norwegian setup, but when I execute "date" in a terminal I get "lør feb 16 12:26:40 CET 2008" where the month should come _after_ the "16", not before. Running "locale" I see all settings set to "no.utf-8". Suggestions?
[11:31] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard71: nothing at all in pm , weird
[11:31] <superos> ifireball: Good tip. ty
[11:31] <db92> how do i change the boot order in grub? switch places on the menu.lst file?
[11:31] <ompaul> !anyone | talonz
[11:31] <ubotu> talonz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:32] <family> naw but i did transfer the file over to my xbox and woot the damn thing plays hey thank you all very much
[11:32] <family> oh one more thing http get what do i download to be able to use this line
[11:32] <Dermooni> is there a decent IRC client for ubuntu? I tried xchat and using Konversation now, but I miss a client with a "perform" feature (as in mIRC)
[11:32] <superos> ifireball: Killing nautilus only starts it again. Let me see if there is a service or something I can stop.
[11:32] <talonz> okies i just set up my windows computer to share net off my nix comp with the help of this post >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370  but ever time i reboot ubuntu eth0 doesnt start can anyone steer me in the right direction to get it running on startup
[11:32] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: I'm getting your pms just fine though.  vgmerger appears to do what you want, yes.
[11:32] <ifireball> superos: the gnome session does that
[11:33] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard71 if i pm you my ssh info , could you check both hdds are where they are supposed to be
[11:33] <bsdnewb07> because i have no idea if there even setup correctly
[11:34] <ifireball> lol... he killed the gnome session...
[11:34] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: from your last pm they appear to be where they should, to me anyway.
[11:34] <Dermooni> anyone?
[11:34] <bsdnewb07> oh ok
[11:34] <bsdnewb07> cool, ill do some research into vgmerger
[11:34] <alanbshepard71> Dermooni: Do you have an issue with pidgin? Have you tried it?
[11:34] <ifireball> Dermooni: what does "perform" do exactly?
[11:35] <kharloss> hi there. i have a MyBook World Edition II  from WD  - 2 terabytes   , i try format this in RAID 1 , enybody knows how long it last ? i started maybe 2 hours ago , and the same message appear:Please wait while this process completes. If this page does not refresh, please navigate back to the home page.
[11:35] <egg_dm> db92: I think that the first item in the list is the default boot item.  If you want another default, just move it's entery to be the first
[11:36] <bsdnewb07>  vgmerge /dev/sda /dev/sdb
[11:36] <bsdnewb07>   Volume group "sda" doesn't exist
[11:36] <family> egg_dm every hear of http get its sort of like wget but lets you use wild cards.
[11:36] <Dermooni> in perform you can add multiple commands that shall happen when you connect
[11:36] <poing\moinch> puh
[11:37] <family> im trying to find it on the synaptic package manager but cant find the thing
[11:37] <poing\moinch> could someone help me out with how to extract all link targets from an html document with grep?
[11:37] <ifireball> Dermooni: Xchat has a "connect command" feature, you can even make it run a whole script file there
[11:37] <poing\moinch> i want it to show everything that is in between the href=""
[11:37] <sybariten> ok heres the deal
[11:38] <Dermooni> oh ok
[11:38] <sybariten> i was trying to ssh into a ubuntu machine with a mac ....  which was, i guess, doomed to fail concidering i have localization problems even with Windows ---> Ubuntu
[11:38] <magnetron> !enter
[11:38] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:38] <Dermooni> should i use xchat irc or xchat-GNOME irc?
[11:39] <ifireball> Dermooni: Konversation probably has a comparable feature, I don't use it though
[11:39] <Dermooni> hm, k
[11:39] <alanbshepard71> Dermooni: Are you using gnome or KDE?
[11:39] <ifireball> Dermooni:  xchat irc typically has more advanced features then  xchat-GNOME irc
[11:39] <dr-raku> Dermooni, konversation is good (for kde)
[11:39] <Dermooni> hm, i dunno :p
[11:40] <bsdnewb07> alanbshepard71: vgscan returns
[11:40] <bsdnewb07> Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
[11:40] <bsdnewb07>   No volume groups found
[11:40] <sybariten> anyhow, i looked at the term types, and was gonna set the MAC term type to VT100, just to try it.... and i did that througfh shell, i thought, by doing 'set TERM=vt100" ... the problem is, i was actually on the ubuntu machine, so i did it there instead. I think the $TERM may have been 'xterm-color' before, but i'm not sure. How do i set my ubuntu server back like it was?
[11:40] <egg_dm> family: never heard of it
[11:40] <Dermooni> on system it says 'about GNOME' in the list, so guess im using that
[11:40] <dr-raku> Dermooni, so you're using gnome
[11:40] <sybariten> (origin of problems was that CenterICQ looked like a bag of puke when running SSH from Mac OS to Ubuntu....)
[11:41] <Dermooni> what's the difference?
[11:41] <larson9999> these lockups in gutsy are maddening.  hope that gets better with hardy.  if not, i think i'll switch back to fieisty.
[11:41] <alanbshepard71> Dermooni: It was my mistake to ask. You wouldn't be in this chat if you were using Kubuntu I guess.
[11:41] <Dermooni> ok no worries
[11:41] <Dermooni> ty for help
[11:41] <Dermooni> ill try xchat
[11:41] <dr-raku> Dermooni, ask wikipedia; the differences are many (not just de interface for your apps and system tools)
[11:42] <larson9999> alanbshepard71, that's not true.  several in here are running kubuntu, i'd wager.
[11:42] <Trel> Ahhh
[11:42] <Trel> Much better
[11:42] <alanbshepard71> larson9999: I reckon
[11:42] <mdmkolbe|work> This may be a more general "X11" question, but I'm not sure where to ask it.  I've "ssh -Y" to machine1 and from there "ssh -Y" to machine2, one machine2 running xeyes reports "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication\nConnection lost to X server `localhost:11.0'".  What does that mean?  How do I fix it?
[11:43] <prince_jammys> me <---KDE
[11:43] <egg_dm> family: I just checked the repositories on http://packages.ubuntu.com/#search_contents and found nothing.  It may not be available in *buntu
[11:43] <prince_jammys> lots of non-desktop related questions here (how to mount, etc)
[11:43] <ifireball> mdmkolbe|work: try simply using -X instead
[11:44] <ifireball> mdmkolbe|work: e.g. instead of -Y
[11:44] <mdmkolbe|work> ifireball: I get the same result
[11:44] <larson9999> what's the key combination that sometimes works when your mouse moves but ctl+alt+backspace doesn't?
[11:45] <family> thanks egg_dm
[11:45] <prince_jammys> larson9999: key combo to achieve what?
[11:45] <lyte> larson9999: power switch, it's not on the keyboard
[11:45] <ifireball> mdmkolbe|work: did you use "-X" on both connections? are you performing "su" or anything like that along the way?
[11:46] <egg_dm> family: Google is your friend.  Just because *buntu doesn't have it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  Somebody may have a .deb file afailable for it out there somewhere.
[11:46] <bildpunkt> hey how can i know which files a deb package has installed?
[11:46] <Trel> What are we looking for a .deb. of?
[11:46] <mdmkolbe|work> ifireball: I tried with "-X" on both connections (I'll try the other possibilities presently).  There is no "su" anywhere along the way.
[11:46] <glick> hey is anyone running a sigmatel sound card?
[11:46] <larson9999> prince_jammys, not exactly sure.  the pitch that usually comes from the person telling me about it is if your mouse moves but nothing else does try this.  i assume it knocks you back to the login screen.
[11:47] <egg_dm> Trel: family is looking for httpget for his system
[11:47] <Trel> and does anyone know of a document that tells what the proper brightness to contrast ratio should be for a Samsung monitor?
[11:47] <ifireball> bildpunkt: dpkg -L <package>
[11:47] <bildpunkt> ifireball: ty
[11:47] <dr-raku> bildpunkt, look for that deb in synaptic and right-click it; then select properties
[11:47] <lyte> larson9999: ctr+alt+backspace reboots the x application, nothing else is likely to work as far as i know
[11:47] <mdmkolbe|work> ifireball: All combinations of "-X" and "-Y" over the two connections produce the same result.
[11:48] <Trel> httpget looks like the same as wget -q -O /dev/null http://domain/file.php
[11:48]  * McGod has been working on wireless networking all night
[11:48] <prince_jammys> larson9999: you can't log out the way lyte said?
[11:48] <McGod> I just cannot get it to run thru WPA2
[11:48] <larson9999> lyte, nah, there's something.  i see it in forums etc every couple months for 10 years.  i just always forget what it is when i need it :)  gonna write it on my laptop cover next time i see it :)
[11:49] <ifireball> mdmkolbe|work: quick solution: if all machines are properly firewalled and you generally trust the other users on them, you can circumvent the X security by running "xhost +"
[11:49] <larson9999> prince_jammys, nope.
[11:49] <abhi_> Yay!!! I can get reflections for the shift window switcher on my 956GMA after a new X11 update!!! :D
[11:49]  * abhi_ is happy
[11:50] <larson9999> lyte, lottalinuxlinks talked about it i think in one of his shows.  i'll go see.
[11:50] <McGod> Anyone know an solid method to get WPA2-PSK working?
[11:50] <Trel> Which type of wireless card?
[11:50] <ifireball> mdmkolbe|work: slow solution: run ssh with -v (or -vvvvvvv ;) and try to figure out why it doesn't properly create the X authentication cookie
[11:51] <prince_jammys> larson9999: but you're able to type these messages?
[11:51] <adam> #ubuntu-de
[11:51] <lyte> larson9999: if you find it can you msg back in here on a line with my name on it? ta.
[11:51] <McGod> Realtek RTL8187B
[11:51] <larson9999> prince_jammys, that's because i powered down.
[11:52] <prince_jammys> larson9999: there's also something along the lines of Ctrl SysRq R E U  something along these lines (not exactly that <--)
[11:52] <lyte> larson9999: you're not thinking of the old shortcut for xkill, it displays a skull and cross bones for a mouse cursor, you click a dead window, hey presto machine go good?
[11:52] <bsdnewb07> pvcreate /dev/sda1
[11:52] <bsdnewb07>   Can't open /dev/sda1 exclusively.  Mounted filesystem
[11:52] <bsdnewb07> whats this mean?
[11:52] <Mushrooms> larson9999: that would be Alt sysrq REISUB
[11:52] <larson9999> prince_jammys, yes, that sounds like it
[11:53] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the man learns fast
[11:53] <mdmkolbe|work> ifireball: thanks.  It may come down to using the quick solution (I do have work that needs to be done), but let me look at the slow solution for a moment.
[11:53] <Trel> McGod: Using ndiswrapper with the Win98 driver?
[11:53] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: I think it's because the drive is already mounted, that command will probably only work for a drive that is not mounted yet.
[11:53] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: thanks to a good teacher ^-^
[11:54] <bsdnewb07> ah i see
[11:54] <Mushrooms> larson9999: there was this site... i can't remember where it was, but one of the ways which it suggested for us to remember the order, was to think of it as BUSIER (backwards)
[11:55] <bsdnewb07> so i could do umount /dev/sda1
[11:55] <mjtunes> hi ive just built a pc and went to install ubuntu on it and getting this busybox v1.1.3 (debain 1;1.1.3-ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
[11:55] <McGod> Trel: I've got the wireless card working ok, it's just getting WPA2 support
[11:55] <mjtunes> then got (initramfs) underneeth
[11:55] <prince_jammys> Mushrooms: the keys are all pressed at the same time?
[11:56] <Mushrooms> prince_jammys: hold down alt and sysrq, but type REISUB in one at a time, in that order
[11:56] <filthpig> will Hauppauge! WinTV-HVR4000 work uner linux?
[11:56] <n2diy> Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously?
[11:56] <filthpig> under*
[11:56] <filthpig> I've tried a bit of googling, but get no straight answers :(
[11:57] <Trel> Not sure on that one McGod. The driver may not allow it.
[11:57] <alanbshepard71> bsdnewb07: I wouldn't that's most likely your OS drive.
[11:57] <hexpill> hello world
[11:58] <ph0rensic> filthpig: best thing to do is check mythbuntu or myth tv for supported cards
[11:58] <Mushrooms> brb
[11:58] <egg_dm> filthpig: it's a Windoz program, right?  You _may_ get it to run under Wine (which is a wondose compatability layer) but no guarantees
[11:58] <ph0rensic> filthpig: I believe that one will, but check mythtv first.. did you already buy it?
[11:59] <larson999> that's problematic as sysrq is Fn SysRq on this laptop and i can't figure out how to hold them all down together
[12:00] <ph0rensic> filthpig: to my knowledge the hauppage cards are good but there are a couple versions that have a chipset that doesn't play nice .. atleast with mythtv
[12:00] <filthpig> ph0rensic, I never buy stuff without checking compability first ;)
[12:00] <prince_jammys> yep, it worked -- shut down my box, lol ...
[12:01] <prince_jammys> you may have to use your feet
[12:01] <ph0rensic> Anyone used clonezilla live yet?
[12:02] <bsdnewb07> guys how do i merge /dev/sdb1 into /root ?
[12:02] <arno-t> hi all how can I fix the date string format? I have norwegian setup, but when I execute "date" in a terminal I get "lør feb 16 12:26:40 CET 2008" where the month should come _after_ the "16", not before. Running "locale" I see all settings set to "no.utf-8". Suggestions?
[12:02] <ole_> hvordan vet jeg om jeg har gnome eller kde?

[12:03] <ealx> is there anyone in?
[12:03] <filthpig> yes, I know Hauppauge plays nice.. But I need support for using "decoding cards" to access certain channels (and get the digital TV signal)
[12:03] <ealx> I would a help about usplash
[12:03] <ole_> #ubuntu-norge
[12:03] <ealx> i wanto that in my boot usplash show the verbos mode bottom
[12:03] <ole_> her er vel ingen norske?
[12:03] <arno-t> ole_, når du skal til å logge på kan du velge options... nede til venstre. Der et sted kan du velge "session", og det kommer opp en liste med hvilke wm du har installert.
[12:03] <ealx> as in dapper
[12:03] <DjViper> ole_: #ubuntu-no
[12:04] <ole_> takk
[12:04] <mjtunes> ive just built a pc and went to install ubuntu on it and getting this busybox v1.1.3 (debain 1;1.1.3-ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) and (initramfs) under it
[12:04] <ph0rensic> filthpig: Im not much help then... maybe the folks at myth might know more about that type of thing
[12:04] <arno-t> ole_, det tar litt tid å knotte ned svaret av og til :)
[12:04] <filthpig> arno-t, english in here
[12:04] <Filled-Void> filthpig, O believe Haupage works with decoding (that is if I understand what you are talking about right) . I however use a loop back cable from audio out of tv tuner to audio in of sound card
[12:05] <arno-t> ok
[12:05] <mjtunes> any1
[12:05] <byspeed> hi
[12:06] <webben> I'm running Ubuntu inside VMWare Fusion. I'm just wondering if anyone's come up with a way to make updating vmware tools when you update vmware painless (as in automatic, or a one-click/one-script command).
[12:06] <ph0rensic> webben: fusion .. is that the one for mac?
[12:07] <webben> yep
[12:07] <nano> hey guys, i just wanted to confirm "what is an accelerated graphics" card
[12:07] <ph0rensic> webben: Coo ..
[12:07] <filthpig> Filled-Void, to watch digital TV I first need a decoder box (tuner) and a credit card size "key card" to insert into the tuner in order to access the digital broadcasts
[12:07] <hexpill> hello world
[12:07] <ph0rensic> nano: Its a graphics card that supports 3d acceleration .. nearly all graphics cards do this now
[12:07] <webben> currently I have to load Gnome, click install vmware tools, load terminal, untar a tarfile to a build directory, build it etc.
[12:07] <nano> basically, if im using drivers that came from the site of my video card manufacturer, then i am using an "accelerated" card, ....
[12:07] <hexpill> has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10?
[12:08] <byspeed> I got a little Problem: i want to run Maple Story on Ubuntu, with Vmware. But i think my ubuntu has not got a 3D support. how to get it? :) i got a nvidia 7900GT
[12:08] <levander> amule.org isn't down right now is it?  I pull it up in Firefox and get a blank page.
[12:08] <Blaise> How can I reverse my Stereo output in Ubuntu?
[12:08] <byspeed> Blaise: well... change the connectors to your soundcard/Amplifier :)
[12:08] <Blaise> yes, very good :D
[12:08] <Filled-Void> filthpig, Sorry I must have misunderstood . I thought you were talking about decoding SOund directly from the card instead of using a cable from the tuner to the sound card. I hear that Haupage works and so does Tuners with the Conextant chip set I believe.
[12:08] <nano> ph0rensic: as opposed to open source drivers that come with my ubuntu, if i get drivers from the manufacturers website, then can i say that i have accelerated drivers?
[12:09] <Blaise> But is there another way?
[12:09] <byspeed> hmm, my soundcard has chinch connectors, so i never need this
[12:10] <levander> Can someone check amule.org for me?
[12:10] <Blaise> my Left Channel speakers are definitely playing the right channel sound
[12:10] <byspeed> levander: works
[12:10] <byspeed> hehe, you cannot change the connectors?
[12:10] <prince_jammys> levander: Unknown host amule.org
[12:11] <levander> prince_jammys: Yeah, that's what I get.
[12:11] <erUSUL> levander: works here
[12:11] <levander> prince_jammys: That's what I get when I nslookup it anyway.
[12:11] <filthpig> Filled-Void, that's ok.. I'll just keep hunting for some info ;)
[12:11] <orochi_> Does anyone else find that having compiz effects enabled messes with the brightness settings in full-screen OpenGL programs (games mostly ;>)? I seem to be getting that with almost every game I try that allows you to adjust brightness
[12:11] <prince_jammys> levander:  www.amule.org works
[12:11] <hexpill> has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? whenever I run it, it starts recording automatically and wont show me the play deck. whenever I try to execute it in pause mode, it will run for a second then crash.
[12:11] <levander> erUSUL: Can you 'nslookup amule.org' and tell me what you get?
[12:12] <byspeed> levander: http://www.amule.org/ works with firefox
[12:12] <levander> prince_jammys: Where were you getting 'unknown host' from if amule.org works for you?
[12:12] <prince_jammys> levander: without www.
[12:12] <levander> prince_jammys: from nslookup?
[12:12] <levander> prince_jammys: ahhh
[12:13] <prince_jammys> levander: no from browser --- IP is  <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:13] <levander> prince_jammys: damn, i do www.amule.org and I get it...
[12:13] <hexpill> has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? whenever I run it, it starts recording automatically and wont show me the play deck. whenever I try to execute it in pause mode, it will run for a second then crash.
[12:13] <hexpill> if you have please PM me
[12:14] <levander> Thanks guys, I think that was the problem.
[12:14] <erUSUL> levander: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56200/
[12:14] <nano> if i removed linux-restricted-modules from my system, then i went and downloaded and installed drivers from NVidia site, and now im trying to run compwiz but im getting a white screen.....does this mean that i need to apt-get install linx-restricted modules?
