[12:01] <Delirium-NL> heroin: Good idea, thanks
[12:01] <kharloss> i do this
[12:01] <tyler_d> you do that
[12:01] <heroin> kharloss: u mean the WHOLE kde desktop on just kde ?
[12:01] <InsaneJuggalo> KI4IKL right click the taskbar properties, checkmark show hide buttons then to hide the taskbar click the side buttons
[12:01] <kharloss> kde desktop
[12:01] <damianos_> sn0: can I call to you to test it (my wife is sleeping now - that is why I would like to use something which helps me to videoconference with my wife - she's got webcam but currently for a while i havent got it)
[12:01] <heroin> kharloss: because kubuntu-desktop would install the whole kubuntu desktop not just KDE
[12:01] <KI4IKL> InsaneJuggalo, I mean a way to do it without hiding it :S
[12:02] <sldkfj> KI4IKL, the only one I know of is Firefox use f11
[12:02] <tyler_d> heroin: but I think he wants the server backend
[12:02] <teprrr> hello, is it possible to access initramfs's busybox directly from grub? looks like my initramfs has a broken script and thus I can't boot up..
[12:02] <heroin> kharloss: but just the clean kde xserver-xorg and u would have to find the kde desktop package urself i dont know it.. (apt-cache search kde)
[12:02] <InsaneJuggalo> KI4IKL then check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302570
[12:02] <rory096> how do i make ubuntu stop beeping? my sound is off
[12:02] <sldkfj> f11 w/ Firefox  goes to 'fullscreen'
[12:02] <damianos_> sn0: wow nice infterface !
[12:03] <sldkfj> as do so many others
[12:03] <tyler_d> rory096: if you have an external usb drive that would be doing it... they sleep and wake up alot... beeping
[12:03] <Delirium-NL> What was the ' Run' command for ubuntu again? There was a shortcut but i forgot it ><"
[12:03] <tyler_d> alt f2
[12:03] <kharloss> heroin:  i don`t understand your last afirmation .  what i have to do after apt-get install kde-desktop ?
[12:03] <Delirium-NL> thanks
[12:03] <tyler_d> np
[12:03] <KI4IKL> thanks InsaneJuggalo
[12:03] <kharloss> what i have to modify ?  i try a startx  but some errorsa appeear .
[12:03] <InsaneJuggalo> np
[12:04] <rory096> tyler_d: it's definitely ubuntu, it doesnt do it in vista, and there's always a reason for it (someone saying my name in irc, clicking an arrow key in terminal when there's nowhere to move, etc)
[12:04] <tyler_d> kharloss: what are the errors?
[12:04] <sn0> damianos_ it has encryption options in the settings which is quite useful, both sides need to enable
[12:04] <tcv> Different question: If you had an application hanging, what could I do to troubleshoot it? Logs? Anything else? How can I tell what Firefox is doing at that moment?
[12:04] <tyler_d> rory096: if you have an auto logon for irc through gaim, it will beep b/c it always "checks in"
[12:04] <kharloss> right now i`m using a live cd  i`m not in my instalation . i`m at thhe beginning with linux
[12:04] <damianos_> sn0: Ok first I need to create an account :)
[12:04] <rory096> tyler_d: nope, i'm on chatzilla
[12:05] <tyler_d> rory096: just disable that and see... mine does that as well as I have an external drive
[12:05] <kharloss> som,ething  like can not create a X folder or sdomething ..
[12:05] <kharloss> i search some tutorials but nothing ..
[12:05] <tyler_d> kharloss: thats not extremely helpfull..... I will stick with or something and say do something else....
[12:05] <tyler_d> kharloss: could you get more info on that plz
[12:05] <rory096> and i dont have an autologin set for gaim
[12:05] <siloko> hi guys, i'm having problems with sound since the last kernel upgrade, i have an intel based sound chip on my laptop motherboard - any clues how to start debugging this?
[12:06] <tyler_d> fory096: what about chatzilla?

[12:07] <sn0> i get lost troubleshooting sound queries
[12:07] <tyler_d> rory096: I have not a clue... could it be sound card driver related.. ie. system sounds comming out of the internal speakers rather then your regular ones? I'm at a loss to be honest with you if its not drivers then.....
[12:07] <teprrr> ah, looks like the timeout still works.. hmm
[12:08] <rory096> hmm
[12:08] <rory096> thanks

[12:09] <kharloss> installing kde desktop over a server instalation . i need some steps . pls help .
[12:10] <TheMole> i have an LCD, but it "shimmers" (especially when viewing black on white) which makes me think that it's operating out of spec somehow; is there a way to check my VertRefresh and HorizSync values?
[12:10] <kharloss> or another desktop environment .
[12:10] <sn0> damianos_ well i have no webcam
[12:10] <damianos_> sn0: can I talk with you for a while to test program ?
[12:10] <sn0> but i can test its working ,sure
[12:10] <damianos_> sn0: no problem
[12:10] <tyler_d> TheMole: /etc/X11/xorg.conf... back that up first
[12:10] <Ahadiel> kharloss: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[12:10] <kitche> neverblue: /dev/hda might become /dev/sda depending on the kerenl what version is the new kernel do you know by chance off the top of your head
[12:10] <damianos_> sn0: we can just chat for a while
[12:10] <gilo1> does anyone know of a GUI frontend for IPSEC?
[12:10] <crimsun> siloko: prepend bash

[12:10] <neverblue> kitche, from the last update?
[12:10] <sn0> let me find my headphones
[12:11] <Delirium-NL> @heroin, nope vlc plays it wierd aswell
[12:11] <Ahadiel> kharloss: Next time you boot, you should see X
[12:11] <tyler_d> TheMole: from term.. sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:11] <damianos_> sn0: but you know what? Interface is just great
[12:11] <TheMole> tyler_d: backed up and ready to go
[12:11] <sn0> tyler_d where would you like to share it to? how are the clients accessing it going to see the files?
[12:11] <tyler_d> TheMole: start reading
[12:11] <siloko> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/559790
[12:11] <tyler_d> sn0: windows (bah)
[12:12] <kharloss> Ahadiel:  trusdt me  after restart i don`t see any X
[12:12] <tyler_d> TheMole: looks bad even typed....
[12:12] <crimsun> siloko: looking.
[12:12] <sn0> pm me damianos_ oonce ya get signed up with user name
[12:12] <taglebro> any1 here uses ubuntu fiesty and plays starcraft in it?
[12:12] <damianos_> sn0
[12:12] <tyler_d> sn0: just wanna samba it over the network for windows to access...
[12:12] <sn0> tyler_d well samba is an option, or installing winscp on the windows clients to connect to you over ssh nice + safely
[12:12] <crimsun> siloko: your 'PCM' is muted and zeroed
[12:12] <Ahadiel> kharloss: umm
[12:12] <damianos_> sn0: Sorry I didn't understand your last chat
[12:12] <Ahadiel> kharloss: sudo startx
[12:13] <kharloss> i try this too
[12:13] <ubuntuNoobus> hello all
[12:13] <sn0> damianos_ to talk we need to add a contact
[12:13] <kharloss> nothing .
[12:13] <siloko> crimsun: and what does that mean :)
[12:13] <Ahadiel> kharloss: So it's not a command?
[12:13] <super-6-1> hello whats the command to download beryl?
[12:13] <tyler_d> Ahadiel: not a great idea... what doing? sudo startx?
[12:13] <crimsun> siloko: it means your sound volume is muted and set to zero.
[12:13] <Ahadiel> tyler_d: okay then.
[12:13] <ubuntuNoobus> i got my dual boot working using the alternative cd so thanks to whoever was helping me with that :)
[12:14] <Ahadiel> super-6-1: sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager emerald emerald-themes
[12:14] <crimsun> siloko: do this in a Terminal: amixer set 'PCM' unmute && amixer set 'PCM' 80%
[12:14] <LordLimecat> anyone want to help me troubleshoot a pop problem that may or may not be ubuntu's fault? :(
[12:14] <ubuntuNoobus> how do i view my linux partitions using windows xp?
[12:14] <DerangedDingo> Hey, does anyone have any advice on how to remove the Gstreamer plugin for Firefox? Because, frankly, TOTEM SUCKS
[12:14] <siloko> crimsun: well that would explain no sound . . . but my master volume is set to 80 per cent and i have the control turned up
[12:14] <Ahadiel> super-6-1: Assuming you have 3D acceleration working
[12:14] <crimsun> siloko: (or you may use the volume control/mixer applet in the upper right corner of the top panel)
[12:14] <sn0> DerangedDingo gstreamer is not totem, why does it suck?
[12:14] <kharloss> Ahadiel:  i try sudo startx  but nothing happened .
[12:14] <DerangedDingo> well, totem uses gstreamer
[12:14] <foomanchew> Any one got any recommendations on Beagle and other similar desktop search tools ?
[12:14] <tyler_d> ubuntuNoobus: you have to install a utility to view the parts.... otherwise they won't show up...
[12:14] <sn0> you can remove the gstreamer back end and install xine instead, if needed
[12:14] <crimsun> siloko: on some devices, 'Master' and 'PCM' are completely separate.
[12:14] <neverblue> kitche, is that what you were implying?
[12:15] <tyler_d> ubuntuNoobus: and Vista actually pops up and says, your drive is broken...
[12:15] <sn0> ubuntuNoobus try fs-driver.org to read / write to linux ext2/3 partitions
[12:15] <ubuntuNoobus> can you advise on what tyo look for or am i not allowed to ask?
[12:15] <neverblue> kitche, the latest update my have moved my devices to different locations?
[12:15] <Marga2002> Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[12:15] <ladydoor> kharloss: what does your .xinitrc have in it? Also, do you have gdm/kdm/xdm installed?
[12:15] <ubuntuNoobus> lol tyler d
[12:15] <foomanchew> in terms of search tools for the desktop, what are the top tools ??
[12:15] <Ahadiel> kharloss: xconf?
[12:15] <kitche> neverblue: the newer kernels might be using libata but without me knowing the version of the kernel you installed I can't be sure
[12:15] <tyler_d> sn0: any advice on the samba share thing...
[12:15] <Ahadiel> or confx
[12:15] <jrib> foomanchew: beagle and tracker
[12:15] <DerangedDingo> sno: it will play all the files, but it won't show video, it will just show a black screen. all gstreamer codecs are installed and working 100% correctly. Also, it overrides the Firefox VLC plugin
[12:15] <damianos_> sn0: I sent to you /msg info
[12:16] <neverblue> kitche, are we both talking about the same thing?
[12:16] <foomanchew> jrib, tracker ?
[12:16] <kharloss> i`ll try this .
[12:16] <jrib> foomanchew: yep
[12:16] <sn0> foomanchew https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beagle#head-a9af94ec80fb67841c01f63aeaaa3fa9e21be624
[12:16] <DerangedDingo> sn0: it will play all the files, but it won't show video, it will just show a black screen. all gstreamer codecs are installed and working 100% correctly. Also, it overrides the Firefox VLC plugin
[12:16] <foomanchew> beagle is a tad 'irratable'
[12:16] <tyler_d> sn0: is that like snow - informer.....?
[12:16] <sn0> tyler_d check the ubuntu wiki for samba information, but its as simple as right clicking the moounted partition > share > and install filles when prompted
[12:17] <ubuntuNoobus> can you advise on what tyo look for yo view linux parts in xp?
[12:17] <sn0> damianos_ i didn't receive it
[12:17] <tyler_d> sn0: not that simple for the root of a drive...
[12:17] <foomanchew> I want search integration similar to OS X spotlight ?
[12:17] <sn0> tyler_d why do you want to share the /
[12:17] <damianos_> sn0: ok
[12:17] <Ahadiel> ubuntuNoobus: Here
[12:17] <zzuh> dziobas won't render the video :/ and vlc doesn't play from multiple rars any suggestions?
[12:17] <foomanchew> and I want my chocolate cake
[12:17] <jrib> foomanchew: yes, use one of those tools along with the deskbar applet
[12:17] <Ahadiel> ubuntuNoobus: google DiskInternals Linux Reader
[12:17] <damianos_> sn0: my nickname is damian0s on wengophone
[12:17] <sn0> check your pm damianos_
[12:17] <jrib> foomanchew: visit your nearest bakery?
[12:17] <ubuntuNoobus> ty ahadiel
[12:17] <Ahadiel> ubuntuNoobus: it allows you to mount it under windows and give it a drive letter
[12:18] <foomanchew> jrib, LOL thanks
[12:18] <damianos_> sn0: please search me and lets talk for a while to test program, ok ?
[12:18] <crimsun> siloko: status update?
[12:18] <siloko> hey thats great thanks - i had to type 'sudo amixer set PCM on'
[12:18] <neverblue> kitche, I have two machines, this one, and the other in my other office in an entirely different building, as well as one at home.  I updated all three, and its just this one (in my other office) that has crashed from this last update
[12:18] <sn0> tyler_d i have heard that one many times :p
[12:18] <ubuntuNoobus> excellent one last thing is what program allows me to change files on ntfs in linux?
[12:18] <siloko> and then  'sudo amixer set PCM 30'
[12:19] <sn0> ubuntuNoobus if you are using feisty then install ntfs-config from synaptic
[12:19] <p1ls> hey, do anyone know how to change coding ( export LANG="pl_PL.ISO-8859-2"
[12:19] <foomanchew> jrib, which of the 2 do u use ?
[12:19] <crimsun> siloko: it wouldn't work without sudo prepended?
[12:19] <tyler_d> sn0: found it.... if you go system-Admin-shared folders... you can add whatever you want :)
[12:19] <sn0> then run it + it will let you configure/add ntfs read/write
[12:19] <jrib> foomanchew: I like tracker
[12:19] <p1ls> sorry
[12:19] <zzuh> any solutions folks ?
[12:19] <cables> ubuntuNoobus: it might be easier to add it from Applications>Add/Remove
[12:19] <siloko> crimsun: and now all works (i didn' try without sudo)
[12:19] <ubuntuNoobus> ty with those 2 things i have the perfect setup :) ty to all who have helped
[12:19] <tyler_d> zzuh: for what?
[12:19] <heroin> sn0: how secure is that ntfs writer?
[12:19] <zzuh> dziobas won't render the video :/ and vlc doesn't play from multiple rars any suggestions?
[12:19] <cables> secure?
[12:19] <crimsun> siloko: you shouldn't need sudo for that, but ok.
[12:19] <p1ls> hey, anyone knows how to change the coding of tilda to iso-8859-2
[12:19] <sn0> heroin they have information on their site, so you can decide
[12:19] <siloko> crimsun: but thanks for your help man :)
[12:19] <sn0> it works for me at least, but decide for yourself :)
[12:19] <crimsun> siloko: np
[12:19] <GaBy> salut tout le monde !
[12:20] <tcv> If you had an application hanging, what could I do to troubleshoot it? Logs? Anything else? How can I tell what Firefox is doing at 80% CPU and frozne?
[12:20] <tyler_d> GaBy: salut! thats all I know...
[12:20] <siloko> crimsun: incidentally how would my PCM have got set to zero?
[12:20] <TheMole> tyler_d: i've tried ModeLine's and I've tried supplying VertRefresh/HorizSync values, but gnome seems to be overriding what i specify... my screen should be operating with a VertRefresh of 60 and HorizSync of 74, but gnome only gives me 50 and 56 for the VertRefresh
[12:20] <GaBy> hum ! do you speack french ?
[12:20] <TheMole> tyler_d: i'm at a loss
[12:20] <zzuh> tyler_d ... .?
[12:20] <tyler_d> TheMole: what kind of video card?
[12:20] <tyler_d> zzuh: nm mang
[12:21] <TheMole> tyler_d: nvidia 6200
[12:21] <neverblue> kitche, so I am not sure if you were replying to another question or not
[12:21] <zzuh> sorry
[12:21] <tyler_d> TheMole: ok... what drivers?
[12:21] <neverblue> i updated today, restarted my system, and it will not boot.  I had the following error: 'Starting Up.... [29.016770]  crc error [29.017559]  Kernel panic- not syncing VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0) ' I checked the RAM, found errors, switched them out, but still having issues.
[12:21] <tyler_d> TheMole: download from nvidia? or generic?
[12:21] <crimsun> siloko: some applications mistakenly do it.
[12:21] <neverblue> could that be a harddrive fail?
[12:21] <TheMole> tyler_d: the bundled nvidia drivers
[12:21] <TheMole> tyler_d: i haven't read any nvidia docs yet... i'll go do that
[12:22] <cables> TheMole: you shouldn't download from nVidia
[12:22] <neverblue> TheMole, use the ubuntu guide
[12:22] <TheMole> cables: i didn't
[12:22] <benzs_s> using the 'shared folders' utility, has anyone had success sharing stuff over a windows network?
[12:22] <neverblue> google it
[12:22] <cables> TheMole: install from System>Administration>Restricted Dirvers
[12:22] <Vipmultimidia> what has been the best program for web development to linux?
[12:22] <zzuh> I am having the refresh rate issue as well, gnome seems to ignore the fact that i want to see things in 60hz :/
[12:22] <tyler_d> TheMole: I sent you the link to the drivers
[12:22] <TheMole> cables: did that
[12:22] <neverblue> the Edgy one has a great explaination of how to update to the latest Nvidia drivers
[12:22] <KI4IKL> benzs_s, you have to install samba to share files between windows and ubuntu
[12:22] <cables> Vipmultimidia: like a wysiwyg editor?
[12:23] <Chee> i'm having a little issue with my wireless. using 7.04, put in my wireless ssid and wpa passphrase... but still not able to get a connection. any ideas?
[12:23] <KI4IKL> !samba benzs_s
[12:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about samba benzs_s - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:23] <benzs_s> KI4IKL: yep i've got that installed (does it auto :o)
[12:23] <KI4IKL> oh
[12:23] <KI4IKL> hrm
[12:23] <KI4IKL> *thinks for a moment.
[12:23] <cables> benzs_s: not with the built in one, i had to edit smb.conf (i forget what i did)
[12:23] <KI4IKL> I have had tons of luck.
[12:23] <benzs_s> no i'm just wondering if it works before careering into it
[12:23] <foomanchew> jrib, does Tracker integrate with Deskbar ?
[12:23] <benzs_s> it doesn't work at the best of times from windows to windows, so thought i'd ask >.>
[12:23] <Chee> i need help with my wireless, any can help me?
[12:23] <cables> foomanchew: nope
[12:24] <cables> !anyone | Chee
[12:24] <ubotu> Chee: 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?
[12:24] <jrib> foomanchew: yes, there is a plugin.  But it was buggy (crashed when you login).  I'm not sure if they have fixed it.
[12:24] <foomanchew> thanks all
[12:24] <foomanchew> it is nice
[12:24] <Chee> i'm having a little issue with my wireless. using 7.04, put in my wireless ssid and wpa passphrase... but still not able to get a connection. any ideas?
[12:24] <foomanchew> still busy indexing but it is quick
[12:24] <zzuh> cables, i have a Nvidia 7600GS i've installed the restricted drivers checked online through the forums played around with the xorg.conf but still get only 50hz refresh rate
[12:24] <Vipmultimidia> cables, html...css...php...editor
[12:25] <cables> Vipmultimidia: Nvu is the closest you'll get to that, but it only does the first one...
[12:25] <crymry> hi! may i ask a question? the GParted sees my entire disk as an unallocated partition however I have winXp installed and I dont want to lose it.Ive read about someone else suffering same problem but he couldnt find a way either.Any idea?
 i'm having a little issue with my wireless. using 7.04, put in my wireless ssid and wpa passphrase... but still not able to get a connection. any ideas?
[12:25] <benzs_s> i think wpa works differently from wep
[12:25] <benzs_s> in terms of input
[12:25] <jrib> foomanchew: libdeskbar-tracker if you want to try it.  I know the fix was committed somewhere but I'm not sure if it's gotten into ubuntu
[12:26] <Chee> benzs_s: but ive input the same information into it that im using on this XP box im on now
[12:26] <cables> foomanchew: then I'm wrong, sorry :)
[12:26] <zzuh> i have a Nvidia 7600GS i've installed the restricted drivers checked online through the forums played around with the xorg.conf but still get only 50hz refresh rate
[12:26] <diy_> i've got two WXGA monitors, native res is 1440x900 on both of them (cheap monitors). i'm trying to set up TwinView, but for some reason, when i set the metamodes with 1440x900 for both screens, only one monitor turns on, and its resolution is the equivalent of both monitors (2880x900)... i have set up modelines, but they seemed to fix nothing
[12:26] <{BFG}> do you have an nvidia card?
[12:26] <anto9us> zzuh: xorg will need your monitor timings too probably
[12:27] <zzuh> anto9us, checked online put in the same one as mode
[12:27] <zzuh> modeline for my monitor
[12:27] <zzuh> still get 50hz :/
[12:27] <zzuh> and its making me blind
[12:27] <{BFG}> do you havea an nvidia card?
[12:27] <zzuh> BFG, are you asking me?
[12:27] <{BFG}> yea
[12:27] <Vipmultimidia> cables, ok... tkz
[12:27] <zzuh> yes Nvidia 7600GS
[12:27] <PriceChild> zzuh, you realise the human eye can't really detect frequencies over about 30?
[12:27] <{BFG}> ok have you tried using the nvidia-settings control panel
[12:27] <{BFG}> Yeah it can PriceChild
[12:28] <Chee> benzs_s: but ive input the same information into it that im using on this XP box im on now
[12:28] <anto9us> PriceChild: I can visually tell if a monitor is lower that 70Hz
[12:28] <zzuh> PriceChild, then i don't know why i am squinting here and things are fine when i boot back into xp :/
[12:28] <cables> PriceChild: that's bs, 60 Hz on a CRT hurts my eyes, above that doesn't.
[12:28] <benzs_s> using network manager?
[12:28] <empemp> hi, anyone know of a free image utility for ubuntu?
[12:28] <zcat[1] > #windows
[12:28] <empemp> i need to replace my harddrive
[12:28] <cables> empemp: dd, it's built in.
[12:28] <cables> empemp: man dd
[12:29] <HymnToLife> cables, but I bet 60 Hz on a LCD don't, thus the problem is the CRT, not the freq ;)
[12:29] <zcat[1] > server ate my /j :)
[12:29] <zzuh> i have a widescreen 1440x900
[12:29] <Chee> benzs_s: i clicked where the network usually is, i clicked connect to other wireless network, and put in the same information that i put on this xp laptop
[12:29] <empemp> ah, thx
[12:29] <zcat[1] > empemp, partimage
[12:29] <empemp> is that better?
[12:29] <cables> HymnToLife: because LCDs don't flicker at their refresh rate. It's the freq, putting it up past 70 fixes it.
[12:29] <empemp> isn't there a program that works in xp too?
[12:29] <zcat[1] > partimage is kinda more like ghost..
[12:29] <LordLimecat> if i know one of my logs is corrupted and causing gnome-system-log to crash....
[12:29] <{BFG}> try running sudo nvidia-settings
[12:29] <{BFG}> and adjusting the multimonitor stuff there
[12:29] <LordLimecat> whats the easiest way to find it? like, a super-sexy way using grep?
[12:30] <benzs_s> chee: what is your wireless card
[12:30] <HymnToLife> !gksudo | {BFG}
[12:30] <cables> empemp: dd is very simple, and CLI only, there are probably other, easier ones out there.
[12:30] <zcat[1] > empemp, boot a live CD with partimage, it will image windows partitions
[12:30] <ubotu> {BFG}: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[12:30] <{BFG}> no you don't need to use gksudo
[12:30] <{BFG}> sudo will work just fine
[12:30] <zcat[1] > dd is not good, can't resize images etc...
[12:30] <HymnToLife> you don't _need_ to indeed
[12:30] <Mr_Awesome> when i tried to resize my windows partition before i installed ubuntu, i kept getting an error with the resizing, and it told me to configure the partitions manually.  i tried to do it but i didnt know what i was doing really.  has anybody encountered this problem perhaps that could give me a suggestion?
[12:30] <HymnToLife> but it's good practice to do it anyway
[12:30] <cables> {BFG}: yeah, and that's why we've got a factoid for it. Use Gksudo, it's just good practice.
[12:31] <anto9us> {BFG}: not all gui apps behave nicely with sudo
[12:31] <empemp> do i only need to backup the / partition?
[12:31] <Chee> benzs_s: i clicked where the network usually is, i clicked connect to other wireless network, and put in the same information that i put on this xp laptop
[12:31] <empemp> think i have a swap partition as well
[12:31] <cables> empemp: just the /
[12:31] <benzs_s> yes i saw
[12:31] <empemp> ok, thx
[12:31] <benzs_s> chances are that your wireless card isn't configured properly
[12:31] <Chee> any more ideas?
[12:31] <Chee> how else is there to configure it?
 chee: what is your wireless card
[12:31] <Eliphas> Anyone mind helping me with Ubuntu?
[12:32] <Chee> built into the laptop... not sure'
[12:32] <Wiorec_c> czester: zrobilem tak jak mi radziles.. ./configure sie zrobilo ale gdy dalem make wyskoczylo make: *** [all]  Bd 2 ;/
[12:32] <anto9us> Eliphas: best to just ask your question and someone will jump right in if they know
[12:32] <benzs_s> go to terminal and type 'lsusb'
[12:32] <benzs_s> oh
[12:32] <Eliphas> Alright.
[12:32] <heroin> how do i kill firefox?
[12:32] <benzs_s> won't be usb huhu
[12:32] <Chee> nope lol
[12:32] <Chee> 1 sec researching
[12:33] <neverblue> heroin, open a shell, type xkill, then select a FF browser that is open
[12:33] <benzs_s> it'd be 'lspci'
[12:33] <Mr_Awesome> anyone know what to do if the install cd cant resize your partitions? i dont want to remove my windows partition
[12:33] <neverblue> is there a listing of which updates are done on each day?
[12:33] <Eliphas> I'm looking to download a torrent of Mandriva.  This I have no problem with, but once I get it, I can't burn it to a blank CD and then run it on the CD.
[12:33] <neverblue> Mr_Awesome, sol
[12:33] <zzuh> i couldn't remember what happened when i tried using nvidia-settings
[12:33] <Chee> broadcom bcm4306
[12:34] <zzuh> just did it locks up
[12:34] <zzuh> :/
[12:34] <anto9us> Mr_Awesome: Boot into windows, check disk, defrag it and shut down cleanly
[12:34] <zzuh> found out the hard way
[12:34] <uberushaximus> be are be
[12:34] <zzuh> had to reboot
[12:34] <Eliphas> When I try to, something about the archive manager not supporting it comes up.
[12:34] <Eliphas> Anyone know what to do?
[12:34] <Mr_Awesome> anto9us: heh, that could be a problem
[12:34] <heroin> neverblue: ok.. fierfox is thx
[12:34] <Mr_Awesome> well, if i get rid of the windows drive, will it be possible to repartition the hdd and reinstall windows in a new partition at a later tim?
[12:35] <Mr_Awesome> s/drive/partition
[12:35] <benzs_s> chee: check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340689
[12:35] <anto9us> Mr_Awesome: partition manager won't resize unless the OS was shut down cleanly
[12:35] <Mr_Awesome> i see
[12:35] <Mr_Awesome> well, the reason im installing linux is because i can no longer get windows to shut down cleanly
[12:35] <LordLimecat> is there a known bug whereby if ubuntu crashes, theres a chance syslog will have a line filled with "^@" on it, causing gnome-system-log to crash?
[12:35] <jdrodrig> Stuck in a VirtualBox, I do not have Rigth Control key, what alternatives do I have?
[12:35] <Mr_Awesome> so, will it be possible to reinstall windows at a later time?
[12:35] <LordLimecat> this has happened twice
[12:35] <Chee> thanks benzs_s, i think it says the same as something else i just read :)
[12:36] <Dr_willis> Mr_Awesome,  yes. its easier to keep each os on its own hd. :) i find.
[12:36] <cables> jdrodrig: hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a vtty, kill it w/ killall VirtualBox
[12:36] <cables> jdrodrig: then set a new Host Key
[12:36] <jdrodrig> cables: but my XP installing is still in progress, any other way?
[12:36] <njero> hey all, is there a shortcut in Fawn to lock the screen?
[12:36] <benzs_s> chee: i have not used ndiswrapper before so i won't be able to help you further :o
[12:36] <anto9us> Mr_Awesome: yes, leave space for it, install windows but you'll have to re-configure the grub boot loader afterwards, I recall there's a howto on wiki.ubuntu.com somewhere about it
[12:36] <Mr_Awesome> Dr_willis: thats what ive done previously, since i had a spare hdd, but i dont have one this time...
[12:36] <digin4> what's the best bittorrent client for ubuntu 7.04?:>
[12:36] <cables> jdrodrig: not that I know of.
[12:37] <cables> njero: try ctrl-alt-l, that works on my system (but that might be because i set it myself)
[12:37] <Mr_Awesome> anto9us: ok, thanks a lot
[12:37] <kdubois> does anyone know of a rss feed ticker for the gnome panels?
[12:37] <jeff2> what is the best open source full backup-to-dvd program for linux? all I want to do is be able to say "backup /", and have the program automatically span the files across as many dvds or cds as necessary. what is the simplest solution?
[12:37] <njero> cables, perfect thanks!
[12:37] <ubuntuNoobus> i have 3 hdd's all on sata and the only one i can see in linux is the one with linux on does anyone know how to access other sata disks, i'm using a dfi lanparty nf590 if that helps
[12:38] <jdrodrig> cables: thanks.....I guess VirtualBox is still not "laptop ready" (no right control key)... I will will for XP to finish installing and then kill it as you said
[12:38] <Zenerek> has anyone here ever tried to connect to a windows system using two trendnet usb blutooth sticks? and you need a particular app to see windows files correcly? samba i believe was it's name?
[12:38] <cables> jdrodrig: you can set your own key if you want.
[12:38] <kdubois> jeff2, check out dvd::rip
[12:38] <ironfroggy> from the alternative CD how can i access my floppy device?
[12:38] <ironfroggy> i need to install a boot record there.
[12:38] <Chee> what does it mean when my scroll lock and caps lock lights flash at me together? ive never seen this before
[12:38] <cables> kdubois: no, he wants to back stuff up TO a DVD
[12:38] <jeff2> kdubois, will that allow me to backup my hard disk files to dvd
[12:39] <ironfroggy> Chee: it means nothing good.
[12:39] <cables> jeff2: he's wrong about that
[12:39] <zzuh> i just realised something
[12:39] <Chee> ironfroggy: any more detail?
[12:39] <zzuh> 9/10 times all your pc needs is a reoot
[12:39] <zzuh> *reboo
[12:39] <cables> jeff2: that's a dvd backup program, not a backup-to-dvd program
[12:39] <zzuh> *reboot
[12:39] <zzuh> :/
[12:39] <anto9us> Zenerek: if you can ping the machines and they see each other correctly samba is one of many options to share files
[12:39] <jeff2> cables, oh ok. I don't blame him; I keep finding dvd backup programs when searching for backup-to-dvd programs
[12:39] <ubuntuNoobus> i have 3 hdd's all on sata and the only one i can see in linux is the one with linux on does anyone know how to access other sata disks, i'm using a dfi lanparty nf590 if that helps
[12:40] <jeff2> cables, that and network backup programs
[12:40] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[12:40] <GrueTamer> larson9999: youre right!
[12:40] <ironfroggy> i have no /dev/floppy from the CD, so how can i access it?
[12:40] <benzs_s> gah my ubuntu mounted hdd is not showing on my windows laptop
[12:40] <GrueTamer> ironfroggy: the floppy drive SHOULD be /dev/fd0
[12:40] <benzs_s> yoyoyoy
[12:40] <ironfroggy> GrueTamer: thanks
[12:40] <RabidWeezle> is there a way to change the font and text color in the tty?
[12:40] <cables> benzs_s: http://fs-driver.org
[12:41] <bruenig> RabidWeezle, PS1
[12:41] <ubuntuNoobus> floppy! is that a fancy name for a usb stick lol
[12:41] <benzs_s> cables?
[12:41] <RabidWeezle> PS1?
[12:41] <cables> benzs_s: that is a Windows Ext2 driver (it'll work for Ext3, but if Windows crashes, it could corrupt the fs)
[12:41] <benzs_s> i mean over a wireless network
[12:41] <amonkey> how can i expand a partition into unpartitioned space that precedes it? trying to get rid of a recovery partition before i add ubuntu
[12:41] <RabidWeezle> bruenig, do I have to isntall it?
[12:41] <cables> benzs_s: oh, sorry 'bout that
[12:41] <RabidWeezle> install*
[12:41] <benzs_s> hehe np
[12:41] <bruenig> RabidWeezle, no it is a variable in /etc/profile, read up on it
[12:41] <benzs_s> that looks handy anyway
[12:42] <RabidWeezle> kthnx
[12:42] <cables> amonkey: use GParted (on the Ubuntu CD
[12:42] <cables> )
[12:42] <vbabiy> ubuntuNoobus: you didn't hear the floppy has been retried
[12:42] <Zenerek>  anto9us: using a guide at ubuntu.com and typing --help to get the hcitool options, i was able to connect the two together, so if i use samba i should be able to see windows files? by the way the other system is running xp and the coonection between the too keeps droping
[12:42] <zzuh> PriceChild, br0 50hz - 60hz changed my life :/
[12:42] <Pozaro> if anyone can play games on ubuntu plzz let me know how you did it
[12:42] <{BFG}> How can I set up my xorg.conf to run triple monitors with my 7800gtx512 and ati x700?
[12:42] <Eliphas> Does a CD need to be in RW format to have OS' copied to them?
[12:42] <zzuh> theres considerable difference i was actually going to get my eyes checked tomorrow
[12:42] <amonkey> cables, won't let me, option for "free space preceding" is greyed out
[12:43] <{BFG}> Pozaro are you talking about windows games?
[12:43] <cables> EliphasR or RW
[12:43] <Pozaro> yes windows
[12:43] <empemp> all my media players just closes when i open a media file
[12:43] <kitche_> Eliphas: RW just means you can write to it multiple times
[12:43] <{BFG}> have you tried with wine or cedega?
[12:43] <Pozaro> i have star wars empire at war and cant install it
[12:43] <empemp> fresh 7.04 innstallation
[12:43] <jeff2> maybe I should rephrase my question. what is the best CD/DVD burning program on Linux that can easily allow for spanning across multiple disks? for example, if I have 16 GB of files to burn, the program should burn 4 DVDs, whose contents together contain my original files. is there such a linux program?
[12:43] <cables> amonkey: try moving it (to the left) then expanding it (to the right)
[12:43] <empemp> even vlc
[12:43] <anto9us> Zenerek: if you can ping one machine from the other over the bluetooth device then yes, samba should do it
[12:43] <Pozaro> wine doest work and you have to pay for cedega
[12:43] <amonkey> cables, is there a way to move it other than dragging it?
[12:43] <cables> jeff2: you probably have to use two programs for that, one to split and one to back up. But I don't really know...
[12:43] <cables> amonkey: what do you have against dragging?
[12:44] <{BFG}> i think k3b can do that
[12:44] <amonkey> cables, doesn't do anything
[12:44] <jeff2> cables, that would be unfortunate, since I'd need twice the space to create the disc images :(
[12:44] <amishamish> how do you list all the running processes again?
[12:44] <amishamish> in console
[12:44] <cables> amonkey: i dunno about that... it worked fine for me. Are you running GParted off of a LiveCD?
[12:45] <jeff2> {BFG}, I couldn't see any options in k3b for disc spanning, but maybe I'm missing something obvious. do you know how to enable it?
[12:45] <jrib> amishamish: ps -e
[12:45] <anathematic> jrib:  thanks coudln't remember
[12:45] <kitsune> does anyone know how to configure gnome-dock?
[12:45] <{BFG}> no, but I would imagine that it would automatically span if you were to drag 60 gigs of files to it but I am not 100% sure
[12:45] <tyler_d> i'm gone peeple, i will miss you all dearly
[12:45] <jeff2> {BFG}, will try, thanks
[12:46] <tyler_d> /leave gone to make dinner
[12:46] <{BFG}> How can I set up my xorg.conf to run triple monitors with my 7800gtx512 and ati x700?
[12:46] <Zenerek> Pozaro: i have yet to see linux app that can play windows games well, i guess if maybe you had a beast of a machine(much better than required) maybe you could play em well, i tried to run starcraft via cedega and it was slow, i was running it on a 800 somthing p3 with 800 something sdram
[12:46] <crymry> I used partition manager on winxp but GParted sees my entire disk as an unallocated partition, what can i do for it?
[12:46] <{BFG}> steam games run fine under wine generally
[12:46] <SirBob1701> hey guys is there a way to download the linux headers so that i can put htem on a flash drive and then install them in another computer that isn't connected to the network?
[12:46] <anathematic> jrib: how about list of all the programs running / ports as oppose to the actual processors?
[12:46] <vbabiy> what python IDE to you guys like best
[12:46] <Pozaro> so for gaming i will need windows :(
[12:46] <anathematic> just trying to remember which port i'm running a ROR app on so yeah
[12:46] <Pozaro> blah
[12:46] <Dr_willis> STEAM - one of the reasons ive given up on PC gaming. :)
[12:47] <LordLimecat> if i just ctrl-z'd a program, how do i resume it?
[12:47] <jeff2> LordLimecat, fg
[12:47] <Dr_willis> LordLimecat,  'bg/fg'
[12:47] <LordLimecat> ah, thanks
[12:47] <Phocion> hey all....trying to figure out what happened to my desktop - wallpaper doesn't show up, no icons, and can't right-click on it - this happens on ONLY one account on the box.....all others are uneffected, so it's gotta be some sort of screwed up config file.  any ideas?  thanks!
[12:47] <anto9us> SirBob1701: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:48] <Pozaro> and if cedega cant handle star craft well it cant handle much
[12:48] <SirBob1701> anto9us: thankyou
[12:48] <SlimeyPete> Pozaro: it can handlHalf Life 2 pretty well
[12:48] <SlimeyPete> and WoW
[12:48] <SlimeyPete> but not much else, in my erience ;)
[12:48] <SlimeyPete> *experience
[12:49] <Dr_willis> could be no one at the cedega devs care about starcraft any more. :0
[12:49] <Dr_willis> SlimeyPete,  me also.
[12:49] <Pozaro> think ffxi will work ?
[12:49] <crymry> anyone knows why?
[12:49] <Zenerek> Pozaro: sorry we're stuck with windows for that, that game you were talking about, is a hog, i guess with my new radeon x1650 550 ddr card i could play it east,espically since that machine a 4600 dual core, but what if i was running it though cedega?
[12:50] <haggard> Pozaro: check http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/
[12:50] <SlimeyPete> Pozaro: probably not, but if you're desperate to play it you could just sign u for a month and find out
[12:50] <Pozaro> if you guys say cedega is bad i believe you
[12:50] <tdn> knetworkmanager stopped working. It does no longer show available networks. I need to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces to get on the network. How do I fix this? This is my /etc/network/interfaces: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/p/P605.html.
[12:50] <anto9us> Phocion: make sure the ownership of the folder and files is set to that user
[12:51] <Dr_willis> I found cedega and wine both good at some games and bad at others.. thats just the nature of the beast
[12:51] <haggard> I think Transgaming is bad because they don't contribute code back to Wine
[12:51] <Pozaro> why dont they make linuxcompatable for gamers :(
[12:51] <haggard> unlike Codeweavers...
[12:51] <fflarex> hi everybody, im hoping someone here can help me. i just ran the dumbest command of my life and it f***ed up my system. "sudo chmod -R a+rwx /"
[12:51] <fflarex> now i cant even use sudo and most of my apps are giving me error messages
[12:51] <PriceChild> fflarex, backup data and reinstall
[12:51] <anto9us> Phocion: sudo chown <user>:<user> /home/<user> -R
[12:52] <Subhuman> fflarex, i did that to my /var once.
[12:52] <fflarex> is that the only way?
[12:52] <PriceChild> fflarex, the sudo and password are meant to make you _think_ when doing it :)
[12:52] <Subhuman> its called "reinstall" im afraid.
[12:52] <Zenerek> Pozaro: most people still use windows, i was a site and they were saying only 4 percent of users use linux, so that's why and i did not say it was bad(only tries it one time) though from what i hear.......
[12:52] <Pozaro> guess ill  hae to get 2 partitions :(
[12:52] <fflarex> i know, i hadnt finished typing the directory. i was trying to change permissions on my external hdd
[12:53] <emdash> i installed the emacs package, but I don't seem to have the "info" documentation
[12:53] <Beamoo> Can any1 name a good c/c++ compiler for Linux?
[12:53] <Subhuman> fflarex, i always cd first for that very reason.
[12:53] <Subhuman> Beamoo, gcc?
[12:53] <Zenerek> freakin typos
[12:53] <SirBob1701> is ndiswrapper installed in feisty by default?
[12:53] <emdash> nor can I seem to find an obvious package in apt
[12:53] <Subhuman> SirBob1701, yes.
[12:53] <cables> fflarex: that sucks :( bad typo
[12:53] <xtknight> satan has a stranglehold on my clock.  no matter what ntp stuff i put in my crontab, it still doesn't update to the correct time.  however 'hwclock' is just fine.  any ideas?
[12:53] <cables> xtknight: are you using the server version?
[12:53] <xtknight> cables, feisty 7.04 desktop
[12:54] <cables> xtknight: you can just set automatic ntp updates from the GUI, no? I have it set up that way...
[12:54] <Pozaro> i guess ill ad vista back on my laptop
[12:54] <xtknight> cables, that doesn't work me (nor does doing it manually)
[12:54] <xtknight> cables, previous ubuntu versions and feisty beta were fine.  im not sure what's up with this install
[12:54] <Beamoo> What is the latest version of GCC?
[12:54] <cables> xtknight: that's really screwy... i have no idea.
[12:54] <jeff2> PriceChild, how do you backup data?
[12:54] <fflarex> alright, well i dont have permission to put any files on my external hdd, which is what i'd use to backup before reinstalling
[12:54] <fflarex> how do i get permission to it now?
[12:55] <xtknight> cables, yea it's kinda weird.  is there a way i can log which cron tabs are executed?  i need to verify that the crontab is running properly
[12:55] <PriceChild> jeff2, manually
[12:55] <cables> fflarex: is it NTFS?
[12:55] <fflarex> ext3
[12:55] <cables> xtknight: you might check the system log
[12:55] <xtknight> cables, klog is empty with regards to cron
[12:55] <jeff2> PriceChild, what software do you use?
[12:55] <cables> xtknight: check all the logs, I use Anacron (laptop) and all its stuff is in sysleg.
[12:55] <anto9us> jeff2: dar is pretty good, it will compress and slice for backup to DVD
[12:55] <cables> *syslog.
[12:56] <xtknight> cables, hm..is 'sudo crontab -e' anacron?
[12:56] <xtknight> by default in feisty
[12:56] <cables> xtknight: I have no idea... I don't use cron
[12:56] <jeff2> anto9us, nice, dar might be just what I'm looking for (if it works well, unlike hubackup). thanks
[12:56] <xtknight> isn't anacron the same thing?
[12:56] <cables> xtknight: not at all
[12:56] <`steno`> salve
[12:56] <xtknight> cables, ah how do i make an anacron job?  i'll just try that
[12:56] <Zenerek> anto9us dar, it's that old shool tool for backup?
[12:56] <cables> xtknight: cron only runs stuff at the times you set
[12:56] <qnyc> fflarex, you could boot from a liveCD
[12:57] <anto9us> jeff2: kdar is a nicish front-end
[12:57] <cables> xtknight: anacron lets you set things in day intervals, and it'll run them whenever possible
[12:57] <anto9us> Zenerek: a backup is only as good as proven restore, it's saved me a few times
[12:57] <sirjoebob> hey everyone. just installed kiba-dock and wondered if anyone could tell me why my launchers are always grouped. any help is appreciated, thanks
[12:57] <xtknight> cables, ah i might need to make it run more often than once a day
[12:57] <cables> xtknight: it gets run on boot, but needs to be called if the computer's going to be on for longer than your interval, but cron actually calls anacron every day.
[12:58] <PriceChild> jeff2, cp
[12:58] <cables> xtknight: your computer's clock is that bad?
[12:58] <xtknight> cables, i guess.  at least on this install it is.  i have no idea
[12:58] <PriceChild> jeff2, and ftp
[12:58] <jeff2> PriceChild, what do you backup to? another hard disk I suppose?
[12:58] <xtknight> dual core cpu
[12:58] <xtknight> didn't use to have trouble
[12:58] <xtknight> windows doesnt have trouble afaik
[12:58] <PriceChild> jeff2, ipod and remote servers
[12:58] <cables> xtknight: that's really messed up... have you tried reinstalling? Maybe some file is messed up
[12:58] <Beamoo> Can any1 name a good java compiler for linux?
[12:58] <jeff2> anto9us, kdar seems to be broken in edgy :(   kdar: Depends: libdar3c2a but it is not installable
[12:58] <Zenerek> anto9us yeah i heard about it when i was looking for backup solutions but forgot it's name, it runs from the prompt right?
[12:58] <bulio_> I installed non-free codecs via automatix, but when I try to play an mp3 in rhythmbox, it crashes
[12:58] <bulio_> any idea why?
[12:58] <bulio_> using 7.04
[12:58] <cables> Beamoo: sun-java6-jdk
[12:58] <PriceChild> jeff2, I also have a couple of hard drives in this machine
[12:58] <sirjoebob> hey everyone. just installed kiba-dock and wondered if anyone could tell me why my launchers are always grouped. any help is appreciated, thanks--- i am running feisty
[12:58] <PriceChild> !automatix | bulio_
[12:58] <cables> oh god
[12:58] <ubotu> bulio_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:58] <cables> automatix
[12:58] <xtknight> cables, yeah a bit uncomfortable with reinstalling atm.  some custom RAID setups i dont want to lose
[12:59] <cables> ah
[12:59] <anto9us> jeff2: install dar first
[12:59] <PriceChild> sirjoebob, right click it and change an option from string to something else
[12:59] <xtknight> cables, if my hwclock is fine, what's up though?
[12:59] <xtknight> cables, can't i just sync gnome clock to hwclock?
[12:59] <cables> xtknight: i have no idea
[12:59] <jeff2> anto9us, have dar installed and it can run. I'll try a couple things
[01:00] <anto9us> Zenerek: yes, kdar will front-end it and will also generate the command line for you to do it manually
[01:00] <bulio_> so what should I try?
[01:00] <bulio_> before automatix rhytmbox didnt work either
[01:00] <sirjoebob> i dont see string when i right click
[01:00] <jeff2> anto9us, strange, Package libdar3c2a is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[01:00] <p1ls> hey, anyone knows how to change the coding of tilda to iso-8859-2
[01:00] <xtknight> cables, i'm using a custom kernel with tickless support.  maybe that's screwing it up
[01:00] <Beamoo> Need a Visual Basic compiler
[01:01] <xtknight> cables, i think i read about clock drift with realtime patches, not sure though
[01:01] <mikeconcepts> are all debian repositories the same? is an ubuntu repository the same as any other debian repository? reason I ask is I'm starting  my own LFS
[01:01] <bulio_> anyone?
[01:01] <cables> xtknight: I dunno, I'm not at the custom kernel level of linux use :)
[01:01] <anto9us> jeff2: try installing it from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[01:01] <bulio_> amarok and xmms work fine
[01:01] <cables> mikeconcepts: pretty much
[01:01] <xtknight> p1ls, `man strings
[01:01] <xtknight> p1ls, `man strings`
[01:01] <anto9us> jeff2: it will go onto edgy, I've done it
[01:01] <Beamoo> Can some1 name a good visual basic compiler?
[01:01] <Zenerek> anto9us good, i prefer tools that work in console, what happens if your gui dies?all that pretty tools become usless(those ain't got console)
[01:02] <anto9us> Zenerek: yeah, dar works nicely from a cron job too
[01:02] <flami> Hi , seems as if i have a lidswitch that sends out way to many events , so acpid sends out events to the listening clients , anyway to make acpid completely ignore my lidswitch ?
[01:02] <mikeconcepts> cables, any further thoughts?
[01:02] <cables> mikeconcepts: no
[01:02] <mikeconcepts> cables, thanks
[01:02] <haggard> Beamoo: check out the mono project:  http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
[01:03] <cables> flami: I wish I had your lid switch! Mine doesn't work at all :(
[01:03] <jeff2> anto9us, not sure what is wrong with my setup. i'll probably just use the command line version
[01:03] <safwan> hi
[01:03] <flami> cables,  you mean liek use 99% of the cpu power and spam your acpid logs ?
[01:03] <cables> flami: yeah! (jk)

[01:06] <jrib> Pozaro: transgaming.com  I think it's like 5 bucks a month

[01:06] <sn0> damianos_ its a nice allternative to skype, as skype currently doesn't support video on linux
[01:06] <Agrajag> PriceChild: $15 for three months

[01:08] <blizz> nice, thanks.
[01:08] <anto9us> blizz: don't need to remove xubuntu-desktop, they will both sit on your system if you have space
[01:08] <PriceChild> tim167, boot up int he live cd, open up gparted from system > admin, and make sure one of the disks is "flagged" as "boot" or bootable
[01:09] <blizz> yeah, wouldn't hurt to keep it.
[01:09] <avalon> Is there a way I can set my kubuntu wallpaper to be a konsole window?
[01:09] <darwin81> I can't mount my iPod

[01:09] <tim167> PriceChild, its an ubuntustudio install cd, no live boot on that, can i use ubuntu server for that ?
[01:09] <Zenerek> blizz: at the login screen choose the session button there should now be an option to run an ubuntu session

[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> avalon: did someone answer your question?
[01:10] <damianos_> hey is there anybody with webcam ..i need some help
[01:10] <cables> Beamoo: Gaim IRC pretty much sucks, you should try Xchat (yes, if you version me you'll find I'm using Pidgin IRC, but that's just an experiment)
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> cables: blasphemer!
[01:11] <cables> IndyGunFreak: ha
[01:11] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[01:11] <PriceChild> tim167, you need some sort of shell or linux gui with gparted
[01:11] <tuxd00d>  I can't seem to find the log which would explain why I receive a blank screen when starting xen.  It goes through hundreds of lines then goes blank.   Xen was installed from apt-get on Ubuntu Feisty.  Nobody is responding in ##xen.
[01:11] <Mr_Awesome> anyone know of somethin that would explain how to install windows alongside ubuntu?
[01:11] <cables> Mr_Awesome: do you have windows currently, or Ubuntu?
[01:11] <tim167> PriceChild oh i seem to have a ubuntu fiesty install cd at hand too, ill try that
[01:11] <avalon> Sure didn't IndyGunFreak
[01:11] <Mr_Awesome> ubuntu first, then windows
[01:11] <alaQ> colbert: you can use the memos tab in Evolution.
[01:11] <KI4IKL> when I type the command sudo mv /home/jared/Desktop/cairo-dock ~/opt
[01:11] <safwan> anto are you there
[01:11] <KI4IKL> It just makes the file dissapear and not go to /opt
[01:12] <KI4IKL> am I doing somethign wrong?
[01:12] <anto9us> goid: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28grub%29
[01:12] <Beamoo> Il try Xchat
[01:12] <Zenerek> cables: how is pidgin,downloaded to run on damn small...probs with pearl....anyway how is it compared to to gaim that comes with ubuntu?
[01:12] <Mr_Awesome> cables: or would it be a lot easier to install windows first?
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> avalon: open a terminal, click edit menu, then choose profile... click the "effects" tab, choose background image, and then where it says none, navigate to the image you want to use.
[01:12] <jrib> KI4IKL: well you told it to go to ~/opt not /opt
[01:12] <safwan> I have checked the link and it is wonderful
[01:12] <safwan> this linux dis is cool
[01:12] <jrib> KI4IKL: ~ means /home/username usually
[01:12] <cables> Mr_Awesome: way easier to do Windows first, since Ubuntu can then resize it and do the dual-boot
[01:12] <safwan> ubuntu is cool
[01:12] <qnyc> Mr_Awesome, better to install windows first, as the windows installer will overwrite the grub bootloader from ubuntu
[01:13] <KI4IKL> uhh...whoops
[01:13] <KI4IKL> thanks jr
[01:13] <KI4IKL> jrib
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> lol, you say that now till you can't figuer something out.
[01:13] <cables> Mr_Awesome: if you want to do Ubuntu first though, you should resize your Ubuntu partitions with GParted (System>Administration>Gnome Partition Editor on the Ubuntu LiveCD) then fix Grub
[01:13] <Pozaro> blah it would becool if it could play games
[01:13] <cables> !grub | Mr_Awesome
[01:13] <ubotu> Mr_Awesome: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[01:13] <Mr_Awesome> cables: ok great. thanks
[01:13] <rcmiv> cl
[01:13] <cables> Zenerek: basically Pidgin is Gaim with nicer icons
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> !pidgin
[01:13] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[01:13] <Mr_Awesome> cables: is gparted on the alternate install cd though?
[01:13] <safwan> anto9us thank you for the link, you have answered my question

[01:14] <cables> Mr_Awesome: no, you need a LiveCD.
[01:14] <jrib> darwin81: see if those docs help
[01:14] <avalon> Thanks for the tip IndyGunFreak, but I'm actually trying to set the terminal as a desktop  wallpaper, not a wallpaper in the terminal.
[01:14] <Zenerek> Pozaro yeah i played...thoough not online, my fave moment was roaming around on the executor
[01:14] <tuxd00d> cables: Pidgin is the new name for GAIM, from a lost legal battle, You should also look up the definition of "pidgin"
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> avalon: oh sorry, misunderstood your question
[01:14] <Mr_Awesome> cables: ok, thanks
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not sure how to do that, or if its possible.
[01:14] <Pozaro> zen is it working on linux
[01:14] <colbert> alaQ: thanks, that looks good! :)
[01:14] <cables> tuxd00d: I know, I'm explaining to someone else.
[01:14] <cables> Mr_Awesome: hold on a sec
[01:14] <avalon> NP, thanks for thrying :)
[01:14] <Pozaro> if so tell me how
[01:14] <Wren> I need advice on getting sound working. Could anyone spare some help?
[01:14] <cables> Mr_Awesome: there's a 30 MB LiveCD with just GParted that you can download

[01:15] <cables> !anyone | Wren
[01:15] <ubotu> Wren: 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?
[01:15] <tuxd00d> cables: okay, it just felt misleading, what you had said
[01:15] <Mr_Awesome> cables: i know, i just found it ;)
[01:15] <cables> tuxd00d: well, those are basically the only actual changes in the software.
[01:15] <tuxd00d> cables: yep
[01:15] <tuxd00d> cables: Pidgin is the new name for GAIM, from a lost legal battle, You should also look up the definition of "pidgin"
[01:16] <tuxd00d> cables: sorry, wrong button
[01:16] <Pozaro> zenerek do you have star wars empire at war working in wine ?
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Mr_Awesome: that Gparted Live CD is awesome.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> i recommend it
[01:16] <tuxd00d>  I can't seem to find the log which would explain why I receive a blank screen when starting xen.  It goes through hundreds of lines then goes blank.   Xen was installed from apt-get on Ubuntu Feisty.  Nobody is responding in ##xen.

[01:18] <Beamoo> At the Xchat website there is just a link for Windows and Fedora? What should i dpwnload?
[01:18] <Zenerek> Pozaro no but i have been meaning to try such a thing, oh and last i heard wine could not handle direct x 9, so if i did try it would have to be another app and most likely a weaker game...remember what i said earlier
[01:18] <cables> Beamoo: you're using Windows? Fedora? This is the Ubuntu support channel!
[01:18] <Beamoo> no i dont use ether of those
[01:18] <Beamoo> i use ubuntu
[01:18] <cables> Beamoo: to install in Ubuntu go to Applications>Add/Remove and choose Xchat
[01:19] <Pozaro> :(
[01:19] <cables> Beamoo: that's generally the best way to install anything, check there first.
[01:19] <safwan> can anyone tell me if they have an idea on how to develop a webservice using linux (webservice is microsoft) do we use mono to program web application in c#
[01:19] <cables> Beamoo: don't install Xchat Gnome, make sure it's Xchat.

[01:20] <rory096> how can i stop ubuntu from using my internal speakers to beep me, like when my name is mentioned in irc or i click a button i'm not allowed to press in the terminal, and instead have it use my regular speakers?
[01:20] <anto9us> safwan: mono is the kit you're looking for I believe, yes.
[01:20] <haggard> tuxd00d: Microsoft's .NET framework
[01:20] <safwan> it is microsoft webform, webservice app etc
[01:21] <cables> rory096: System>Preferences>Sound, go to System Beep and disable it
[01:21] <safwan> visual studio
[01:21] <cables> rory096: you can't have it use your regular speakers
[01:21] <rory096> ah, thanks

[01:22] <tuxd00d> safwan: maybe you should run from .net, run as fast as you can.  It might be nice for you to write programs that are stable.
[01:23] <safwan> the .net is taking 40% of the web market
[01:23] <tuxd00d> safwan: It may be that most .net programmers are bad at programming.  Or is it that .Net doesn't work well.  I don't know.
[01:23] <haggard> LAMP > .NET
[01:23] <tuxd00d> safwan: because people don't know better, not because .net is better.
[01:23] <safwan> no i would say, the evn is bad

[01:25] <NemesisD> anyone here ever used ddrescue? like a lot of examples show ddrescue /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1/foo.img, but would ddrescue /dev/hda1 /home/user/Desktop/foo.img work?

[01:26] <ch4r13s> please help, im using Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 distro and im having troubles getting any new version of nvidia drivers to work i keep getting libwfb.so errors.... i need these because i want twinview
[01:26] <xenex> what's the command to open an existing text file?
[01:26] <safwan> tusdood i was going to ask that question
[01:26] <xenex> i tried gedit but it would make a new text file and not open the existing one
[01:26] <cables> rockbox really isn't that great right now, the UI is terrible and scrolling through long lists sucks
[01:26] <tuxd00d> ch4r13s: you'll need 64-bit everything
[01:26] <cables> xenex: then you're not typing the path correctly
[01:27] <brk3> hi, does anyone here use one of those laptop coolers?
[01:27] <NemesisD> xenex, do you need admin to open the file?
[01:27] <cables> xenex: can you send me the command you're trying?
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> ch4r13s: thats why 64bit isn't ready for primetime..

[01:27] <ch4r13s> tuxd00d: ive had it working before it just recently screwed up out of nowhere
[01:27] <tuxd00d> cables: I would like to know to use my wife's ipod with linux, as we don't have any windows machines in house
[01:27] <xenex> cables, /exec gedit /xchatlogs/GameSurge-#whp.log
[01:27] <anto9us> NemesisD: sorry, format is "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/home/user/Desktop/foo.img"
[01:27] <xenex> (this is from xchat)
[01:27] <NemesisD> anto9us, actually i was talking about ddrescue, im not sure how they are different though heh
[01:27] <cables> tuxd00d: attach the iPod to Linux, watch it work.
[01:27] <NemesisD> anto9us, we have dd though too, is img the preferred format?
[01:28] <tuxd00d> ch4r13s: odd, good luck with it
[01:28] <cables> tuxd00d: at least i think rhythmbox syncs with iPods... if not, use Amarok
[01:28] <ch4r13s> lol wow preciate it
[01:28] <ch4r13s> thought this was a support channel
[01:28] <xenex> cables, i figured it out ;p
[01:28] <m1r> i accidentaly deleted /etc/mysql, what are posibilities to fix ?
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> tuxd00d: its easy, just plug it in, it should automount, then then use amarok, banshee, or rhtymbox or gtkpod to sync it.

[01:28] <ubotu> ch4r13s: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> i personally like amarok
[01:29] <tuxd00d> cables: done that part, but she doesn't like not being able to use it with itunes, (for music organization and album covers)
[01:29] <ch4r13s> my attitude isnt bad im asking for help
[01:29] <sn0> m1r maybe aptitude purege mysql-common then aptitude install mysql-common, but you have no backups ?
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> tuxd00d: google try google.. i believe you can use itunes with Wine, but not 100% sure.
[01:29] <cables> tuxd00d: get Windows then.
[01:29] <ch4r13s> ive been trying to get my ubuntu up and running for 2 days now i really need help
[01:29] <tuxd00d> IndyGunFreak: itunes does not work in wine
[01:29] <m1r> sn0 , unfortunately no
[01:29] <cables> tuxd00d: I have no idea how to get album covers working w/ ipods and linux.
[01:29] <NemesisD> tuxd00d, have you tried rhythmbox?
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> tuxd00d: i could have swore i read that it did..
[01:29] <m1r> i will try purge tnx m8 brb
[01:29] <sn0> backups are important :)
[01:30] <tuxd00d> cables: I'll look at stuff again
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> sn0: this is very true.
[01:30] <dotpavan> tuxd00d, tried gtkpod?
[01:30] <NemesisD> tuxd00d, my rhythmbox shows album covers i think, but i don't like it much
[01:30] <tuxd00d> dotpavan: I have tried gtkpod
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> dotpavan: i think gtkpod sucks... it never mounts my ipod right, and i have to do it manually.
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> tuxd00d: did you try amarok?
[01:30] <tuxd00d> all the linux ones work pretty well
[01:30] <sn0>  purege = purge sorry
[01:30] <digin4> is there a black Human theme for ubuntu? or grey...

[01:31] <gtr> Anyone ever heard of a ram slot going bad, I've tested my 2 sims, they each test good in all the slots, but when I run ubuntu fiesty with either chip in one slot everything works fine, but in the other, it freezez/reboots
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> digin4: http://www.gnome-look.org
[01:31] <gtr> any ideas?
[01:31] <safwan> check themes
[01:31] <digin4> thanks guys :)
[01:31] <tuxd00d> The problem is that if she did ever want to use it with iTunes again, the dang program won't talk to it
[01:31] <cables> digin4: select glossy and change the colors in customize
[01:31] <anto9us> NemesisD: ddrescue ignores errors, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29
[01:31] <cables> tuxd00d: sure it will! iTunes works fine on my iPod even though I've used it with Amarok.
[01:32] <NemesisD> anto9us, we are using this to recover data from a failing drive, would it be preferable to ignore errors or no?
[01:32] <SirBob1701> is thier an easy way to download g++ and gcc and all their dependencies in one go so i can put it on a flash drive?
[01:32] <tuxd00d> cables: I have to admit, that was the time when they had the bad update (as my files are across the network)
[01:32] <cables> tuxd00d: ok
[01:32] <nachovall> good afternoon, I have a problem with a HD SATA and Live CD Ubunto 5, when I tray tu mount the HD the comand mount return my the next problem: /DEV/SDA1 is not a system block valir, why?
[01:32] <sn0> gtr yes you can get bad ram slots
[01:32] <tuxd00d> cables: I'll have to give it a try again
[01:33] <cables> ok
[01:33] <tuxd00d> cables: you like amarok?
[01:33] <safwan> can you mic in here
[01:33] <cables> tuxd00d: not really, but I'm using it 'till exaile gets some issues sorted out
[01:33] <NemesisD> safwan, negative
[01:33] <anto9us> NemesisD: would be better to recover with no errors but recovery of anything is better than nothing, if it's failing then go with ddrescue at least you'll get something off that you might be able to use
[01:33] <dotpavan> SirBob1701, sudo apt-get install build-essentials would install those, to copy to flash drive, you could try aptoncd
[01:34] <safwan> nemesis thanks
[01:34] <SirBob1701> does the cd have build-essentials?
[01:34] <NemesisD> anto9us, ok cool. thank you for your help :)
[01:34] <tuxd00d> cables: thanks for the help
[01:34] <gpled> should this work?  echo "hello" > /dev/lp0
[01:34] <sn0> SirBob1701 i dont believe so
[01:34] <SirBob1701> dotpavan: does the live cd have build essentials?
[01:34] <SirBob1701> hmm
[01:35] <dotpavan> SirBob1701, it isnt a CD, it just makes a cd for offline installation of specific s/w, so you can custom make your own repo
[01:35] <SirBob1701> ok
[01:35] <nachovall> good afternoon, I have a problem with a HD SATA and Live CD Ubunto 5, when I tray tu mount the HD the comand mount return my the next problem: /DEV/SDA1 is not a system block valir, why?
[01:35] <sn0> build-essential is a meta package that depends on many real packages
[01:35] <cables> tuxd00d: no problem

[01:36] <frwagon> Hello everyone!  Can somebody help me through the process of installing NDISWrapper on Feisty?  I've tried the guides, to no avail.
[01:37] <ch4r13s> help, im getting a error before x server starts saying "Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0). I have Ubuntu 7.04 64bit, 2.6.20-16-generic, nvidia-glx-new.
[01:37] <kitsune>  okay... how do I configure gnome-dock? All the icons are transparent
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> ch4r13s: did the driver install correctly
[01:37] <ch4r13s> yes
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> i suspct it didn't.
[01:37] <Beamoo> Can u play mp3 files in the terminal?
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> is x starting?
[01:38] <ch4r13s> i suspect its a bug
[01:38] <ch4r13s> x isnt starting
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> well then the driver likely didn't install.
[01:38] <ch4r13s> lemme try again
[01:38] <Beamoo> Can u play mp3 files in the terminal?
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> Beamoo: i dont think so.
[01:38] <{BFG}> you can
[01:38] <cables> aplay?
[01:38] <jrib> Beamoo: sure, use mplayer or mpg321 for example
[01:38] <borghetti> oi
[01:38] <Beamoo> how
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> maybe though, there coudl be a terminal based audio program
[01:39] <Agrajag> Beamoo: yes, with mpg321 or other text-based players
[01:39] <crimsun> remember that gst-launch-0.10 works, too.
[01:39] <Agrajag> or if you go through the trouble of setting up mpd, you could use ncmpc
[01:40] <frwagon> Can anyone please help me with NDISWrapper on 7.04?
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless
[01:40] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:40] <frwagon> will check them again ... i think i've been through that exact page set.
[01:41] <Beamoo> how do u play a file with mpg321?
[01:41] <Pooky> hrm, since we're talking about players, is it possible to pipe audio through an X11 session?
[01:42] <crimsun> sure, nas.
[01:42] <crimsun> it's messy, however.
[01:42] <Pooky> nas?
[01:42] <spinexorz> anyone know of a way to run different fonts on each display with a Dual-Head setup (one card, fglrx), i need to somehow up the font size when i use tv-out without changing the font size on my main monitor so as to be able to read off of my CRT-TV. this isnt a media only setup so having a usable desktop is essential
[01:42] <Agrajag> Pooky: I think you can, with esd
[01:42] <Agrajag> Pooky: that's not exactly ove x though
[01:42] <OceanSpray> oh hi
[01:42] <Beamoo> how do u play a file with mpg321?
[01:42] <OceanSpray> I'm trying to mount an nfs share from my ubuntu computer,
[01:42] <Pooky> Agrajag: oh? is it a server/client thing?
[01:42] <jrib> Beamoo: mpg321 file
[01:42] <{BFG}> speaking of multimonitor questions, how do I setup triple monitors with my nvidia and ati card?
[01:42] <OceanSpray> but the terminal hands
[01:42] <OceanSpray> *hangs
[01:43] <OceanSpray> pinging works fine
[01:43] <Agrajag> Pooky: I think it can be. I read something about it, years ago
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> {BFG}: good luck... i had a good time getting dual setup...lol
[01:43] <OceanSpray> what could be the problem?
[01:43] <Agrajag> Pooky: of course the application has to support esd
[01:43] <Pooky> ah
[01:43] <{BFG}> dual setup was pretty smooth with one card
[01:43] <Pooky> ok, I'll check those out
[01:43] <{BFG}> but I have no clue how to configure it to use the second card
[01:43] <{BFG}> and the state fo the ati drivers worry me somewhat
[01:43] <OceanSpray> also, shouldn't it be a good idea to automatically exportfs after clicking OK in the share dialog window?
[01:44] <Beamoo> do i need to be in the directory in the terminal with mpg321
[01:44] <OceanSpray> People shouldn't have to manually do that
[01:44] <m1r> sn0 , i miss content of that folder, didnt help :( mysql cant start
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> {BFG}: prolly not very easy.
[01:44] <Beamoo> i cant just open a terminal and go mpg321 the ark - ???
[01:44] <sn0> m1r maybe you need to reinstall the mysql-server package(s) too
[01:44] <m1r> i reinstalled all
[01:44] <sn0> which file is it complaining on ?
[01:44] <Zenerek> hey just out of curiosity and since i may soon be using a dsl connection, how hard is it to setup a dsl modem?cannot possiibly be as horrid as a winmodem?
[01:44] <m1r> no luck :/
[01:44] <zzuh> do applications which are executed via wine have a different DPI settings?
[01:44] <jrib> Beamoo: you need to provide the path to the file.  So you can do 'mpg321 /path/to/file' or if you are in the directory of the file, you can do 'mpg321 file' of course
[01:44] <magicbronson> looking at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727 to install flash on ubuntu 64-bit... question about the step: "add the respository and update the sources list: http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/" - what is the exact line that should go in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[01:45] <Beamoo> it doesnt work for me :S

[01:47] <OceanSpray> goddamn it.
[01:47] <sn0> m1r my.cnf is stored in mysql-common
[01:47] <jrib> Beamoo: well the command is "mpg321" not "mpg", but you do need to install "mpg321".  Do you know how to use APT (or synaptic or add/remove)?
[01:47] <sn0> so purging it , then installing it should recreate the file
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> Zenerek: seems the biggest issue when setting up high speed, is if you're given a USB modem by your provider

[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> Zenerek: most ethernet cards, will probaly work w/o much configuration, just do some research if youu end up buying one
[01:53] <Beamoo> can u play a whole folder with mpg321?
[01:53] <frwagon> gives me a long series of errors starting with loadndisdriver.c:511: error: 'LOG_CONS' undeclared
[01:53] <Beamoo> is it the same thing
[01:53] <Zenerek> IndyGunFreak: allright then, i'm off later....i'll keep in mind what you said
[01:53] <n2diy> frwagon: have you installed the build-essentials package?
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> Zenerek: good luck
[01:54] <jrib> Beamoo: you could probably do 'mpg321 *.mp3'
[01:54] <frwagon> Not sure, let's assume that I haven't.
[01:54] <n2diy> frwagon: ok, then go get it! ;)
[01:55] <Beamoo> jrib: fr a whole folder?
[01:55] <frwagon> n2diy: apt-get says unknown package, and SPM can't find a "build-essentials" either.
[01:55] <jrib> Beamoo: your shell expands *.mp3 to all the files in the current directory that end with .mp3
[01:56] <n2diy> frwagon: him, what about synaptic?
[01:56] <frwagon> Synaptic was SPM
[01:56] <Beamoo> how do u get the terminal to locate the closest folder to what you have written? like if i write slagsmls and want to get to this folder : Slagsmalsklubben-Boss_For_Leader-2007-MAGIJO
[01:57] <jrib> Beamoo: you can type the beginning and press TAB
[01:57] <bobbob1016> Beamoo, press tab
[01:57] <n2diy> frwagon: ah, ok. Umm, maybe it isn't in the Ubuntu repos, have you tried the universe and multiverse repos?
[01:57] <bobbob1016> beat me to it
[01:57] <khin> hi im having a problem with the evolution mail client and my gmail account, i cant send messages. i tried lots of combinations of ports and encyption type and stuff, nothing works
[01:57] <Beamoo> ok
[01:57] <khin> i can read messages ok
[01:57] <frwagon> n2diy: where would i reference to check that?
[01:58] <nitro4ce> does anyone know of a good ext3 defrag tools?
[01:58] <bobbob1016> khin, did you follow GMail's setup directions?
[01:58] <Beamoo> when i've put on a mp3 with mpg321 i cant seem to give commands? IUs there a way to change tracks?
[01:58] <khin> i enabled POP on gmail, yeah
[01:58] <m1r> sn0 think that fixed it :D
[01:58] <m1r> tnx a lot m8
[01:58] <bobbob1016> khin, they have directions, as in which ports, and ssl and everything
[01:58] <n2diy> frwagon: use SPM's menus, you can enable them by checking them.
[01:59] <khin> yeah
[01:59] <sn0> no worries m1r, glad its working
[01:59] <b08y> nitro4ce, as far as i know ext3 doesnt fragment, and so you dont need one to defragment
[01:59] <Beamoo> when i've put on a mp3 with mpg321 i cant seem to give commands? IUs there a way to change tracks?
[01:59] <ANDIAMO> How can I rename a partition?
[01:59] <sn0> now install sbackup or others (if on desktop) and create a backup schedule! :]
[01:59] <bobbob1016> khin, did you follow them?
[01:59] <frwagon> n2diy: They are checked.  There's also a "-" next to source code.. could that be messing me up?
[01:59] <khin> yes
[01:59] <Agrajag> Beamoo: all it does is play one song. If you want a full-featured music player you'll need soemthing better
[01:59] <Beamoo> oh ok
[01:59] <nitro4ce> b08y: ext3 does fragment
[02:00] <jrib> Beamoo: I don't think so, you should try moc or cmus, or even mpd with mpc as a frontend
[02:00] <khin> i can read mail from the account ok. i cannot send
[02:00] <Agrajag> Beamoo: I've heard moc is a decent one
[02:00] <ANDIAMO> How can I rename a partition?
[02:00] <nitro4ce> b08y: less than others, but still does
[02:00] <n2diy> frwagon: I don't know, hang on a second.
[02:00] <ANDIAMO> Hello
[02:00] <rockingmtranch> #server irc.gamesurge.net
[02:00] <Beamoo> ok Il remove mpg321  then haha :P
[02:00] <Beamoo> thankls for all your help guys
[02:01] <nitro4ce> Beamoo: audacious
[02:01] <b08y> nitro4ce, okay, but i never heard of a programm to defragment ext3  ;)
[02:01] <ANDIAMO> Shall someone answer me?

[02:04] <majorglory> Hello?

[02:05] <yacovs> when I shift+down it works
[02:06] <bobbob1016> khin, when you send it has to say that, there's also an off chance it could be your router/firewall/isp, but I doubt it

[02:22] <Eliphas> f
[02:22] <{HRF}Ghost> Cleric I can't answer that question but I would advise you disconnect any other hard drives that are having linux installed to it
[02:23] <majorglory> frogzoo: as in raise all the sliders in the Volume Control to 100%?
[02:23] <{HRF}Ghost> I didn't disconnect my windows hard drive when installing ubuntu and it forced me to use part of my windows hard drive
[02:23] <{HRF}Ghost> :/
[02:23] <Frogzoo> majorglory: as in make sure they're < 95%, so you're not distorting
[02:23] <zcat[1] > majorglory: back them down.. I have mine at 85 to 90% usually
[02:23] <Cleric> you mean disconnect the drives that AREN'T having linux installed?
[02:23] <{HRF}Ghost> Yes
[02:23] <{HRF}Ghost> That's what I meant to say sorry

[02:25] <Cleric> ok no problem. also i went part-way through the install and it gives me the option to do a 'guided install' on my empty 2ry particular drive. will that not stop the need to d/c my other drive?
[02:25] <Frogzoo> majorglory: sure
[02:25] <{HRF}Ghost> I'm not sure

[02:34] <Shaddox> Hi everyone.
[02:34] <Ubuntu321784> where is Topics?
[02:34] <catty1er> safwan : uname command
[02:34] <Shaddox> I heard there was a command line to install the server edition on an Ubuntu Desktop cd.
[02:34] <jrib> !root > nachovall (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:35] <Shaddox> It is --server in the options area, right?
[02:35] <safwan> ok cattyler
[02:35] <greyfrog> safwan, open a terminal..
[02:35] <tim167> im getting disk boot failure after ubuntu install, i tried 3 times over, is the disk broken ? install doesnt mention any errors
[02:35] <safwan> aha grey
[02:35] <greyfrog> safwan, and print dpkg --print-architecture
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> Shaddox: yes, its one of the menu options on the boot menu, I think its "Install a Command Line SYstem" or something like that
[02:35] <catty1er> type uname -a
[02:35] <safwan> greyfrog I will try that now
[02:35] <Shaddox> IndyGunFreak: I don't see that option, just the normal Ubuntu Desktop options.
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> no, when you first boot the CD.. you should get a menu...
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> not from the desktop
[02:36] <whiskey1973> So what IS the path to the source kernel?
[02:36] <null> After a fresh Ubuntu install, what are the default groups the created user is part of?
[02:36] <lockdown2> wheels3572, the kernel src is in /usr/src  if you installed the source
[02:36] <greyfrog> null, open a terminal and type groups
[02:37] <null> greyfrog, nerfed it and i'm not a member of all the ones i should be
[02:37] <whiskey1973> wheel thanks ill go look now
[02:37] <greyfrog> null, ahhh ;)
[02:37] <safwan> greyfrog, I got it I have got amd 64
[02:37] <null> I'm hoping someone can help me
[02:37] <safwan> thanks mate
[02:37] <greyfrog> safwan, cool ;)
[02:38] <Eliphas> Anyone know where I can find a gentoo distro iso that isw compatible with Ubuntu?
[02:38] <greyfrog> null, ask again... I've changed my groups around or I'd help :(
[02:38] <Eliphas> I can't find one.
[02:38] <Eliphas> is*
[02:38] <greyfrog> Eliphas, compatible?
[02:38] <catty1er> compatible with?
[02:38] <IndyGunFreak> null: unless you changed the default, default should assign you to the admin group.
[02:38] <lockdown2> null:  admin,scanner,powerdev,lpadmin,netdev,plugdev,video,dip,audio,floppy,cdrom, dialout,adm
[02:38] <null> IndyGunFreak, I did change the default.
[02:38] <null> lockdown2, thanks!
[02:39] <fuzzyhair> Does anyone here have a wordpress server?
[02:39] <Eliphas> Compatible as in .deb or .zip, so that the archive installer will recognize the package and be able to install it so I can burn it to a Live CD.
[02:39] <whiskey1973> so the linux headers are the kernel source?
[02:39] <tim167> oh my, i clearly need some sleep...there was also 'HD0' to boot from, i was always trying HD1 in bios boot sequence ... duh
[02:39] <DarkED> hi all, i'd like to compile an iso image of a custom disc i need to make. i'll be using files from all kinds of sources and then mounting said iso as a virtual drive. what app can i use to compile iso's in linux?
[02:39] <Eliphas> Anyone have one?
[02:40] <greyfrog> whiskey1973, you want linux-source-2.6.20
[02:40] <fuzzyhair> darked, check out reconstructor
[02:40] <Lazureus> hi, i'm running ubuntu w/ gnome, i downloaded the latest ati driver for linux, and when i managed to get the installer to run, it installed it but, everything's messed up in openarena now
[02:40] <Lazureus> what happened?
[02:40] <Eliphas> greyfrog: So, do you have a distro I can use?
[02:40] <DarkED> fuzzyhair: will do, thank you
[02:40] <Eliphas> Or a link to one?
[02:41] <greyfrog> Eliphas, I don't think so... I don't know much about gentoo except that it uses portage and ubuntu uses apt.  big difference there
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Lazureus: ATI can be fairly tough
[02:41] <Lazureus> well, i have to reinstall linux now don't i?=/
[02:41] <Lazureus> i'm kinda new so..
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> i don't know if you'd have to re-install... might be easier, then unless you absolutely have to have 3d support, ust use the default driver
[02:42] <Lazureus> well, the default driver worked with openarena, but it had bad FPS in higher res (i have an ATI radeon 9600 pro, q3 engine supposed to run perfectly on that card no matter what res heh)
[02:42] <DarkED> fuzzyhair: ahh no that is not what i need to do... i need to make a normal iso, not a ubuntu iso ;)
[02:42] <Lazureus> so i tried to get an actual driver for it to make it faster
[02:42] <fuzzyhair> If I am using Ubuntu Server 6.06 and need to open a website, how can I do it?
[02:43] <Lazureus> and now i cant play OA cuz the textures are all crazed out and messed up
[02:43] <catty1er> mkisofs
[02:43] <DarkED> i checked K3B but it doesnt seem to be able to make iso's
[02:43] <safwan> what is fiesty ?
[02:43] <catty1er> man mkisofs
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> !feisty

[02:43] <toed> I'm getting some strange behavior using a java web start app with sun java 6 in feisty, regarding resizing of windows: http://proxima.lp0.eu/~pierre/cgoban.png any idea what could be wrong?
[02:43] <DarkED> catty1er: mkisofs?
[02:43] <toed> normally the stuff in the window would stretch
[02:43] <safwan> something to download for videos
[02:43] <Lazureus> so how can i undo this installation without reinstalling linux? i dont want to end up messing up grub or something , or losing anything heh
[02:43] <catty1er> makes an iso of a bunch of files, then you burn to disc
[02:44] <DarkED> catty1er: ok... is there a gui frontend? my files are coming from lots of sources and it'd be a pain to have to copy them all from one dir
[02:44] <safwan> ubotu is it an operating system
[02:44] <DarkED> er, to one

[02:46] <Tiradin> Is it easier to change Xorg.conf or should I Just do a fresh install of Ubuntu? ANd if I do, will my data be lost from the previous install?
[02:46] <whiskey1973> will it hurt to patch in all four kernel folders?

[02:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:46] <fuzzyhair> vip3rousmango: you need to get the correct gstreamer plugins. Search for gstreamer in synaptic.
[02:46] <vip3rousmango> i did, i got all 4 of them
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Tiradin: y guess is, it'd be easier to do a fresh install.
[02:47] <safwan> greyfrog I see
[02:47] <vip3rousmango> yet, when I hit play no sound comes out
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Tiradin:  are you getting a cli interface?
[02:47] <fuzzyhair> do they appear to be playing?
[02:47] <Tiradin> IndyGunFreak: What about the datawhat do you mean it's better to be host with me ?

[02:47] <Dustcrazy> Is there any way to stream my screen to the internet so other people can see what I'm looking at?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Tiradin: well i assumed you were smart enough to back up before undertaking this endeavor.
[02:47] <vip3rousmango> fuzzyhair: no, its a laptop, it uses an internal one
[02:47] <trey> flash games an movies are running really shitty on my system
[02:48] <Tiradin> IndyGunFreak: It's easy enough to back up the important things on a secondary HDD, i just don't want to have to do that.
[02:48] <fuzzyhair> vip3rousmango: gimme one sec.
[02:48] <vip3rousmango> ok, you can PM me if that's easyer
[02:48] <IndyGunFreak> Tiradin: well, you could try to reconfigure xorg, not sure how much success you'd have.
[02:48] <saxin> is it possible to play WoW with a ATi 9200 graphic-card? I tried using the opensource driver, but it would not work. I also tried installing fglrx-driver, but it did'nt support my card. It was to old :/
