[06:27] <Evilscientist> basic question what are directory mask and create mask?
[06:27] <sys8976> combox:  the same way you would install a game
[06:27] <thompa> anyone know why my spellchecker now has dissapeared from openoffice?
[06:27] <dr_willis> combox,  let me guess.. xlibs ?
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> misaki: that won't work
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> cuz that's the Linux Mozilla
[06:27] <sys8976> Tloric let me think a min
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> install Mozilla through Wine
[06:27] <squiggly> what do you need a spellchecker for
[06:27] <Trajan> Anyone know the easist way to determine if Ubuntu server is taking advantage of multi processors?
[06:27] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets ?
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> then activeX for that instance of Wine
[06:27] <Kibbled_bits> does that make sense?
[06:28] <sys8976> misaki: you need to install the xlib packages
[06:28] <misaki> why do I get an error message about $DISPLAY when I try to run winecfg?
[06:28] <zcat[1] > Trajan: /proc/ should show more than one cpu ?
[06:28] <misaki> but yes, I'll do that with Mozilla
[06:28] <sys8976> misaki: cause you installed wine without the xlib pacjages
[06:28] <Trajan> Zcat: Thanks
[06:28] <sys8976> packages
[06:28] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets ?
[06:28] <thompa> it was just there before and now even the langauge setting is gone
[06:28] <misaki> do I need to reinstall then?
[06:28] <combox> im using cedega and um...
[06:28] <sys8976> Tloric: what version linux you using
[06:28] <rockzman> can someone help me? i need to know why everytime i try to compile a gkrellm plugin i receive the same error
[06:29] <sys8976> misaki: yes uninstall wine install xlib then reinstall wine
[06:29] <combox> i clicked install and selected the path to the exe file
[06:29] <misaki> kk thanks
[06:29] <Tloric> sys8976: Ubuntu dapper
[06:29] <zcat[1] > Trajan: cat /proc/cpuinfo I think will be what you're looking for
[06:29] <combox> uduntu 5.1
[06:29] <sys8976> combox: ok then what?
[06:29] <Tloric> lateset
[06:29] <si1> will XGL work on integrated intel855 graphic chipsets
[06:29] <sys8976> Tloric: ok checking something
[06:29] <combox> then nothing
[06:29] <rockzman> can someone help me? i need to know why everytime i try to compile a gkrellm plugin i receive the same error
[06:29] <combox> it created a wine foled but nothing in it
[06:30] <Trajan> Zcat: You are a gentleman and a scholar but not neccesarliy in that order.
[06:30] <ardchoille> rockzman: pastebin the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:30] <thompa> openoffice gets wobbly with text sometimes too when typing
[06:30] <rockzman> ardchoille: roger :)
[06:30] <rockzman> roger that
[06:30] <combox> lol i keep needing to isntall stuff to make me install mroe stuff
[06:30] <thompa> i think maybe memory hole in OO
[06:30] <Gun_Smoke9> I can't get the non-free repository selected.  I check the box, and click add.  But if I go back, it is unselected again.. What gives?
[06:31] <sys8976> combox: try $sudo wine MozillaControl1712.exe  and see what it does that shuold install it
[06:31] <sys8976> should
[06:31] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: that's just bad UI.. it's been added. The dialog shows suggested options, not what's currently enabled.
[06:32] <sys8976> Tloric: what do you see when you clikc system-administration-networking
[06:32] <sys8976> click
[06:32] <Kibbled_bits> gotta run
[06:32] <Kibbled_bits> NITE guys
[06:32] <Evilscientist> so let me rephrase this...
[06:32] <combox> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\MozillaControl712.exe": Module not found
[06:32] <sys8976> Kibbled_bits: later
[06:32] <rockzman> ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17306
[06:32] <Trajan> The amount of people in this room is striking. I guess Ubuntu is really as popular as it appears.
[06:32] <Evilscientist> ...how do I give windows permission to write to my linux dirves
[06:32] <Tloric> sys8976: Normal network manager that i've been using.
[06:32] <Evilscientist> drives*
[06:33] <thompa> openoffice doesnt work
[06:33] <sys8976> combox: ok take that exe file and put it in that dir and run again
[06:33] <Dial_tone> name another decent bittorrent client
[06:33] <zcat[1] > Trajan: or really hard to use, perhaps :)
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> COMBO: are you installing this for the win32 or linux Mozilla?
[06:33] <combox> lol well so far nothing has worked in Ubuntu for me
[06:33] <Trajan> nice
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> because it matters, Wine isn't going to see your linux Mozilla
[06:33] <sys8976> Tloric: so it shows your nic and that its active?
[06:33] <zcat[1] > lots of people looking for help....
[06:33] <Tloric> sys8976: eth0 is active
[06:33] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Well then I am having problems finding flashplugin-nonfree which is supposed to be in that one.. But when i run a search is shows it isn;t there.??
[06:33] <CptAJ> whats a good text based browser I can use?
[06:33] <Gareth> combox, the power cord is plugged in right? :P
[06:33] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: did you refresh?
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> flash works
[06:33] <Gareth> CptAJ, lynx
[06:33] <sys8976> Tloric: ok and when you click props it is showing config as dhcp?
[06:33] <Kibbled_bits> shockwave doesn't
[06:34] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Yes.
[06:34] <Tloric> sys8976: Yes.
[06:34] <Trajan> Zcat: I thought this was the "people's OS"? What does this say about other distrbutions?!
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: i couldnt paste the whole file
[06:34] <Kibbled_bits> there is a Flash install for Linux
[06:34] <sys8976> Tloric: kk still digging one sec
[06:34] <zcat[1] > hmm.. odd.
[06:34] <Tloric> sys8976: and its enabled.
[06:34] <combox> lol
[06:34] <combox> yeah
[06:34] <max__> hmmm
[06:34] <combox> how do i get there
[06:34] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Shockwave doesn't show either.
[06:34] <Kibbled_bits> Trajan what is your point?
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: i just follow gkrellm plugins instructions "make"
[06:34] <combox> Computer ->?
[06:34] <zcat[1] > there's no shockwave plugin for linux :(
[06:34] <rockzman> ardchoille: this is part of the error i receive
[06:35] <sys8976> combox: $cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
[06:35] <Kibbled_bits> no shockwave for linux
[06:35] <sys8976> Tloric: click cancel out of there and then click the host tab up top
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: there's an analog clock for gkrellm in the repos. Open synaptic and do a search for gkrellm.. there's a bunch of plugins there.
[06:35] <Trajan> I wish Real Player would shrivel up and die already
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: oh really?
[06:35] <zcat[1] > there should be a flash-nonfree though.
[06:35] <Kibbled_bits> agreed Trajan
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: as for your error, I don't know, I don't get those errors when I compile
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: thank ya
[06:35] <Gareth> Trajan, it has to buffer before it does that
[06:35] <ardchoille> rockzman: you're welcome
[06:35] <sys8976> Tloric: do you have localhost and ip6 located in there?
[06:35] <rockzman> ardchoille: i understand
[06:35] <Tloric> sys8976: yes i do.
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> Oops.. I meant Java.
[06:36] <Trajan> We'll be waiting foever then
[06:36] <zcat[1] > is this i386 or amd64? there's only flash-nonfree for i386 ..
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> Flash works on FireFox/Linux
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> Ahh... I am AMD
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> I'm on it right now
[06:36] <Steven_M> I can't find that terminal on the dapper repos
[06:36] <zcat[1] > that explains it :)
[06:36] <sys8976> Tloric: ok for giggles can you open a terminal and type ifconfig and pastbin what it puts there and send me link so I can see that?
[06:36] <Trajan> We'll still have the spyware to deal with after Real Player departs this earth
[06:36] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  So what about the Java?
[06:36] <sys8976> !pastebin > Tloric
[06:36] <ardchoille> rockzman: I use gkrellm-alltraxclock2 for an analog clock in my gkrellm, works great
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> REAL SUX
[06:36] <Kibbled_bits> NITE ALL
[06:37] <Trajan> nite
[06:37] <Kibbled_bits> for real this time  ;)
[06:37] <Gareth> damn you can do that sys8976?  (the piping thing, I mean) useful!
[06:37] <zcat[1] > most people end up running i386 on their 64 bit systems because all the nonfree stuff only works that way :(
[06:37] <sys8976> Gareth: :D yes
[06:37] <Gareth> zcat[1] , it'd make much more sense to run i686
[06:37] <K^Holtz> What the command to install xchat? sudo apt-get intall xchat-gnome?
[06:37] <CptAJ> Gareth: Uh, could you elaborate a little? where do I get it? how do I install it?
[06:37] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Yeah I would like to.. But this is a free machine for me to experiment and learn linux on.
[06:38] <Trajan> Good night all. Thanks for the help.
[06:38] <Gareth> CptAJ, you should be able to go "gksudo apt-get install lynx" and have it install (and then run it with the command lynx afterwards)
[06:38] <zcat[1] > hafta use the gpl flash and java then ..
[06:38] <CptAJ> Gareth, trying that, thanks
[06:38] <combox> bash: /home/combox/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/: is a directory
[06:38] <combox>  lol
[06:38] <freaks> hey i think i've found a bug in Ubuntu ...
[06:38] <DShepherd> freaks: havent we all
[06:38] <combox> i understand what i ahve to do i just dont know how lol
[06:39] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: I think you'll probably have problems with wine too :)
[06:39] <freaks> anyone want to try? here it freeze the system, or crash X
[06:39] <Tloric> sys8976: Its on another machine so cant past it here. Right now its holding the right address and mask.  (wouldnt hold a connection long enough for me to get on irc with it).
[06:39] <ardchoille> DShepherd: lol
[06:39] <rockzman> ardchoille: u were right mate thanks again
[06:39] <james_> does anyone in here know how to configure a wxga laptop screen to switch to 1280x800 resolution? the forums mention using a package called '855resolution' which is not in my repos. i can get '915resolution', though...
[06:39] <ardchoille> rockzman: hope you find what you need there :)
[06:39] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  i don't even know what that is yet.. i've only been runing ubuntu for two daysnow
[06:39] <james_> will '915resolution' do just as well?
[06:39] <zcat[1] > !wine
[06:39] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:39] <K^Holtz> What is the command to install xchat? sudo apt-get intall xchat-gnome?
[06:40] <J231> ive just done sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop, how do i run xubuntu-desktop?
[06:40] <DShepherd> james_: what cared is it?
[06:40] <K^Holtz> !xchat
[06:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about xchat
[06:40] <sys8976> Tloric: ok thought that but thought maybe we could get that info so I could try to help  :D
[06:40] <DShepherd> card*
[06:40] <dr_willis> !apt-get > K^Holtz
[06:40] <kaot> I got wine to run pokerstars.  mission accomplished as far as wine goes.  hehe
[06:40] <Tloric> sys8976: Dont suppose there's a way to turn off ip6 and go to ip4?  I seem to remember the last release worked just fine with that.
[06:40] <sys8976> J231: try to reboot
[06:40] <james_> DShepherd: i'm not sure lol
[06:40] <james_> DShepherd: it is an intel
[06:40] <J231> sys8976: alright
[06:40] <K^Holtz> !apt-get xchat
[06:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about apt-get xchat
[06:40] <sys8976> Tloric: havent learned that yet sorry :)
[06:40] <Cornellius> K^Holtz: sudo apt-get install xchat or sudo apt-get install xchat-gnomw
[06:40] <ardchoille> J231: log out, select xfce as your desktop, then log back in
[06:40] <Cornellius> *gnome
[06:40] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] : From the FAQ
[06:40] <Gun_Smoke9> Some websites require the Java plugin for Mozilla Firefox. To install the java plugin, install the sun-java5-plugin package (for i386 machines) or the j2re-1.4-mozilla-plugin package (for amd64 machines) from the Multiverse repository.
[06:40] <kale77in> I'm seeing acroread (7.0.1) throw "**Gtk-WARNING** Cannot open display" when it's supposed to be running in command-line mode with '-toPostScript'. Nothing on the Adobe site about it. Any ideas appreciated.
[06:40] <kaot> Tloric: remove ipv6 support from teh kernel, probably
[06:41] <combox> grr
[06:41] <arooni-linux> hey folks, im having trouble getting full screen resolution. host: winxp pro laptop w/ max resolution 1280x800. guest: ubuntu linux dapper. i'd like to throw up the ubuntu window at 1280 x 1024 on my lcd monitor. i have tried editing /etc/x11/xorg.conf and inserting the "1280x1024" monitor resolution with no luck.... any ideas?
[06:41] <kaot> I remember having to do that with gentoo, kept slowing my net down trying to resolve ipv6 names
[06:41] <K^Holtz> Cornellius: whats the difference?
[06:41] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  i couldn't even find the one for amd
[06:41] <zcat[1] > I've given up trying to get wine to run IE.. I have it running Windows mozilla with the flash8 and shockwave plugins though
[06:41] <silentread> arooni: do u have an ati graphics card?
[06:41] <Cornellius> K^Holtz: The frontend. Install both and see which one you like most
[06:41] <DShepherd> james_: me not sure either then.. have you tried to reconfigure the xserver?
[06:42] <zcat[1] > It's definately wloeer than linux mozilla and breaks all the launch feedback and stuff too
[06:42] <zcat[1] > *slower
[06:42] <james_> DShepherd: no.... the instructions i read call for the package '855resolution', but i can't find that package
[06:42] <sys8976> arooni-linux: you will have about 15 different levels in xorg did you catch which one is set to default? mine was set to default 24 and that is the one I edited and it worked
[06:42] <charlesJacobs> is there a way to turn off my touch pad? I don't need it when I'm using a mouse
[06:42] <DShepherd> james_: hmmm have you tried to reconfigure the xserver?
[06:43] <DShepherd> james_: or am I talking gibberish to you
[06:43] <zcat[1] > Gun_Smoke9: the i386 install will run fine on amd64 and will give you a lot more options...
[06:43] <arooni-linux> sys8976: i believe my default is 24 as well.. i tried 1) adding in a 1280x1024 option and trying to select it from system=>display prop etc.. and 2) eliminating all other options (crashed it and i had to restore from a backup file i made)
[06:43] <Gun_Smoke9> zcat[1] :  Thanks, I'll give it a shot now..
[06:44] <james_> DShepherd: no, from what i have read from people with the exact same laptop, i will need that package in order for it to work
[06:44] <lucaz> Hello, does anyone know if there is a app like apple's dashboard for linux?
[06:44] <DBO> DShepherd, you here?
[06:44] <Anony> Would someone mind helping me get my sound working?
[06:44] <james_> i wish i just knew what repo i was missing
[06:44] <J231> a reboot didnt fix.
[06:44] <DShepherd> DBO: hey
[06:44] <sys8976> arooni-linux: what you have to do (or I did and it worked) is after the 1024x768 add in front of that 1152x864 and then the 1280x1024 the make sure you :qw (if you are using vi) so it saves it then it should flicker and make it right
[06:44] <DShepherd> DBO: xgl...
[06:44] <DBO> DShepherd, I finished that script
[06:45] <si1> can I install xgl in a intel855 integrated chipset
[06:45] <sys8976> lucasvo: yes and no if you have a 3d enabled vid card you can get something like that
[06:45] <J231> ive just done sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, but how do i "start" it?
[06:45] <combox> hmm why is it that Ubuntu runs in to problems installing everything
[06:45] <Anony> The sound card is an nm256AV in an omnibook 4150
[06:45] <arooni-linux> sys8976: so its like "1152x864"  "1280x1024"  "1024x768"  ?
[06:45] <zcat[1] > it sucks that windows is so far behing linux though :)
[06:45] <zcat[1] > *behind
[06:45] <sys8976> lucasvo: but if you like the widgets then opera will give you that
[06:46] <si1> combox : select session before login in GDM
[06:46] <sys8976> arooni-linux: no 1280 then 1152 then 1024 then 800 etc
[06:46] <lucaz> sys8976: talking to me?
[06:46] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ok then can i do control alt backspace to have these settings refreshed?
[06:47] <sys8976> lucaz: no sorry wasnt
[06:47] <combox> im trying to install Wine so i can install AciveX for Mozilla so i can run and update ...
[06:47] <si1> how do I install a package when I don't have internet connection ??
[06:47] <zammit> my ubuntu installation is freezing at "mounting root file system" help?
[06:47] <sys8976> arooni-linux: as soon as you write the file and quit it should refresh if not then yes
[06:47] <lucaz> :)
[06:47] <orbin> lucaz: is that the launcher bar on the bottom?
[06:47] <arooni-linux> ok
[06:47] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ok let me try this
[06:47] <sys8976> arooni-linux: kk
[06:47] <j23a> ive just done sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, but how do i "start" it?
[06:47] <lucaz> orbin: yes, I'm looking for something like that..
[06:47] <K^Holtz> Cornellius: it says that it cant find package xchat
[06:47] <orbin> j23a: choose xfce from the sessions menu at login
[06:48] <Cornellius> j23a: Where you type your username and password
[06:48] <j231> ok thanks :)
[06:48] <orbin> lucaz: gdesklets has a launcher bar
[06:48] <j231> thanks guys, cya =)
[06:48] <Lyrasen> config question here under breezy... I'm using aoss for what it's intended to, but the sound I get is somehow hashed. I've read that what could solve this problem, is to redefine the fragment size oss uses in /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss ... this file is actually empty, so I have no idea of which syntax to use, could anyone point me to an example?
[06:48] <Cornellius> j231: Go into session, and choose XFCE
[06:48] <lucaz> orbin: will check it..thanks..
[06:48] <delmar> Thats just GREAT. Where is the 'badblocks' command to check a device for bad blocks?
[06:48] <delmar> The damn Dapper alternative install fails, and u cant do a badblocks check. DUH

[06:51] <HackerX> I live in the us, why does that made a differnce?

[06:51] <zammit> any ubuntu gurus here?

[06:51] <Ropechoborra> My webcam is connected, but when i try to preview with Camorama it says to check te connection... what could it be?
[06:51] <cyphase> can someone add a "Download File" option in the Nautilus "File" menu?
[06:52] <cyphase> it can already download links you drag from firefox
[06:52] <HackerX> orbin ?

[06:53] <efox> hey
[06:53] <ardchoille> efox: hi
[06:53] <arooni-linux> sys8976: so i tried putting 1280 1152 1024 in that order, and now when i restarted it, i could only select 1024x768 as my max.... any other ideas?
[06:53] <efox> is there a command u can enter to upload something to a site...? similiar to wget..but..opposite
[06:53] <Anony> efox, ftp?
[06:54] <bimberi> Luke: when you update kernels from the repositories, there are usually entries in the grub menu that allow you to boot from the old ones
[06:54] <bimberi> *one(s)
[06:54] <Luke> bimberi: i want to boot form the newer one by default
[06:54] <Luke> bimberi: for some reason it is not default
[06:54] <sys8976> arooni-linux: what vid card do you hvae?
[06:54] <sys8976> have*
[06:54] <efox> Anony: it COULD be, it could be anything. So long as i can back my data online, thats what im looking for. I found some online storage sites, rapidshare or megashare etc...but is there such a command ?
[06:54] <Cornellius> efox: Get gFTP, connect to the ftp site in question and upload the files
[06:55] <si1> can I install xgl in a intel855 integrated graphics chipset
[06:55] <HackerX> What the command to download again?
[06:55] <sys8976> apt-get
[06:55] <efox> Cornellius: possible to use terminal for this...
[06:55] <bimberi> Luke: ok, have you modified /boot/grub/menu.lst at all ?  It is usually set to boot from the first entry and new entries are added to the top of the list
[06:55] <dli> si1, yes, but very slow
[06:55] <Anony> efox, I understand you are looking for a program that will use HTTP style uploads, but I dont think such a thing exists
[06:55] <arooni-linux> sys8976: well i have a mobile intel 945GM express schipset family adapter (built in i think its just built in)..... and im runnin ubuntu linux thru vmplayer (host os is winxp pro)
[06:56] <Luke> bimberi: nope i have not modified it
[06:56] <sys8976> arooni-linux: ahh ok so do you have the vmware tools installed?
[06:56] <efox> Anony:  booo =(  ok..i guess ftp would be the way to go
[06:56] <si1> Dli : thanks
[06:56] <arooni-linux> sys8976: indeed i do
[06:56] <Anony> efox, Do you have an FTP server in mind?
[06:56] <ardchoille> efox: check out wput .. it's in the repos
[06:56] <Anony> Woa there is a wput
[06:56] <HackerX> whats the command to download off the unbuntu server thing?
[06:56] <Anony> Thats awesome
[06:56] <ardchoille> efox: wput - A tiny wget-like ftp-client for uploading files
[06:57] <Anony> HackerX, apt-get
[06:57] <HackerX> thanks
[06:57] <Anony> ardchoille, oh wait its an ftp client?
[06:57] <sys8976> arooni-linux: I havent messed with the player but I did run it under straight vmware workstation adn I couldnt get past that either,,,I have a 6600 128mg card and vmwares tools so didnt help, once I flushed drive and installed without vmware then ubuntu saw my card and edited it there and all is good
[06:57] <ardchoille> Anony: yes
[06:57] <efox> ardchoille:  nice ! I will look into it. Thanks !
[06:57] <technel> I am running Ubuntu and Azureus. Any time a Warning pops up in the corner, when I put my mouse over thie Hide button it highlights, but I can't click it! It won't go away :(
[06:57] <ardchoille> efox: you're welcome :)
[06:57] <arooni-linux> sys8976: i also have vmware workstation installed.... could that help me
[06:58] <bimberi> Luke: hmmk.  Put it on a pastebin.
[06:58] <arooni-linux> ?
[06:58] <Jesse> hey i was wondering how large is the upgrade for 5.10 to the latest version?
[06:58] <Cornellius> Anony: He just needs a terminal FTP client
[06:58] <sys8976> arooni-linux: vmware is limited on what it can and cant do so I would have to say no
[06:58] <Cornellius> Anony: I don't know any since I use gFTP though
[06:58] <Anony> Cornellius, "ftp" is a command line ftp client
[06:58] <Anony> I use it all the toime
[06:58] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ah do you use something else instead?
[06:58] <Anony> Cant STAND gftp
[06:58] <Luke> bimberi: i dont even seem to have aone have a menu.1st
[06:58] <Anony> The tab paths are terrible
[06:58] <arooni-linux> for your vmmingness?
[06:59] <Luke> bimberi: dont have one*
[06:59] <sys8976> arooni-linux: no I formated my 60g drive and installed on it straight I no longer use windows :D
[06:59] <arooni-linux> sys8976: ahh gtocha
[06:59] <Cornellius> Anony: I know, but via a terminal ftp client he'll be able to upload his files to the server in question
[06:59] <arooni-linux> runnning linux & windows side by side at once on one box is pretty compelling though
[06:59] <Anony> Cornellius, oic, good point
[06:59] <orbin> technel: known bug.  try pinging void^ or just ask in #azureus
[06:59] <sys8976> arooni-linux: now you can try bochs I think it is let me get link from what I read you can do more in it
[07:00] <arooni-linux> bochs?
[07:00] <bimberi> Luke: /boot/grub/menu.lst  ?
[07:00] <sys8976> arooni-linux: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
[07:00] <technel> orbin, #azureus is dead (as usual), what do you mean ping void^?
[07:00] <bimberi> Luke: note that the first character in lst is lowercase L
[07:00] <orbin> void^: ping
[07:00] <Luke> bimberi: doesnt exist
[07:00] <technel> void^, ping
[07:01] <technel> orbin, What is supposed to happen?
[07:01] <sys8976> arooni-linux: I havent tried that one, cause I got mad a vmware and just flushed system lol
[07:01] <sys8976> arooni-linux: but I have read a lot about it and they say you can edit more things than what you can in vmware so worth a shot if you are bored :)
[07:01] <orbin> technel: he's supposed to answer if he's active.  obviously he's not.  i'm sure there's a forum topic on it @ ubuntuforums.org
[07:01] <arooni-linux> sys8976: appreciate your help
[07:02] <Jesse> hey i was wondering how large is the upgrade for 5.10 to 6.06?
[07:02] <sys8976> Jesse: best to flush and do a clean install but the upgrade (guessing here) is bout 1g if you install all options
[07:03] <Jesse> sys8976, dang :( i was downloading the iso before it got to 400 then died and i can't continue it
[07:03] <sys8976> Jesse: oh the download the iso is less than 700mg cause it will fit on 1 cd
[07:04] <sys8976> Jesse: you on windows?
[07:04] <ogami> hello

[07:07] <Nao> hey, does anyone know anyway for me to use my trackpad on my laptop, but to turn off tapping?  like when you briefly tap the pad and it acts like clicking?  I'm on dapper, with a synaptics pad
[07:07] <dreamcatcher5172> i wish i had a logfile to look at....i dont quite remember
[07:07] <Jesse> sys8976, now lets pick a mirror that won't die on me
[07:07] <dreamcatcher5172> i changed alot of themes
[07:08] <sys8976> Nao: sorry havent learned that one yet (the reason I asnwered is I hate asking something and not getting an answer :)
[07:08] <Nao> haha, thanks
[07:08] <ideogram> Did I say I love ubuntu today?
[07:08] <sys8976> Jesse: cool I welcome you to get it installed the more the happier we are and billy is not :D
[07:08] <Ropechoborra> Some client for MSN ?? (not gaim or aMSN)
[07:08] <sys8976> ideogram: no you didnt but I love ubuntu as well :D
[07:08] <bimberi> Luke: did you see that last post from me? the first character in lst is lowercase L
[07:09] <orbin> ogami: i used the officials in dapper and it broke apt.
[07:09] <sys8976> Ropechoborra: that is about all your stable choices you have :(
[07:09] <dreamcatcher5172> is there a .deb file to look for to make sure?
[07:09] <ogami> orbin: :(
[07:09] <ogami> i havent even tried running dapper yet
[07:09] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah i wish i could totally get rid of windows but i can't i just like my games to much
[07:09] <orbin> ogami: ubunut's ati and fglrx drivers both work though
[07:10] <ideogram> luckily I don't play games anymore
[07:10] <orbin> for me.
[07:10] <ogami> hmm
[07:10] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you can do $cd into the dir where they went then do ls |grep *.deb and see
[07:10] <ideogram> but I still dual-boot XP just in case
[07:10] <orbin> ogami: ymmv
[07:10] <b00gz1> how do I install a wireless PCMCIA card if I plug it in after it is booted up without rebooting?
[07:10] <sys8976> Jesse: that was my issue wow addict here lol but I am tired of the crap so I am working on wine and all to make it happen :)_
[07:11] <Jesse> ideogram, this year gaming front was cold but next year the games lineup looks sweet
[07:11] <dreamcatcher5172> cant i reinstall a pragram that controls that aspect?>
[07:11] <sys8976> b00gz1: try killall gnome-panel worth a shot :D
[07:11] <ideogram> what looks good?
[07:11] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah wine seems alright but to save the hassle of teaching my family to use new software ill just leave windows there
[07:11] <ideogram> isn't there something from Will Wright?
[07:12] <cef> ideogram: I've got a windows XP install on this machine. I think when I upgraded from Hoary to Breezy it got removed from my boot menu. I'm now running Dapper, and still haven't needed it, so I haven't re-added it to grub. I really should at some stage and do a Windows Update at least. *grin*
[07:12] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you can try to do sudo apt-get upgrade(s) and see
[07:12] <sys8976> Jesse: I hear ya I am single so no worries lol
[07:12] <b00gz1> sys8876 :(
[07:12] <jldugger> is the GNOME debconf frontend broken at the moment?
[07:13] <jldugger> oh
[07:13] <sys8976> b00gz1: that is a reboot for gnome without having to reboot the system
[07:13] <jldugger> nevermind
[07:13] <jldugger> just logged into a remote machine =(
[07:13] <Jesse> sys8976, :( ten hours, 13,

[07:13] <sys8976> Jesse: aacckk
[07:13] <b00gz1> well I am going to just reboot then
[07:13] <sys8976> b00gz1: sorry was worth a shot :D

[07:15] <zammit> Ubuntu won't install: keeps freezing at mounting root file system on the desktop install, i've tried alternative install as well (i get a kernel error)
[07:15] <zammit> any ideas?
[07:15] <sys8976> zammit: have you tried testing the cd?
[07:15] <orbin> Dial_tone: i.e. the firefox extension?
[07:15] <sys8976> to make sure it is a valid burn?
[07:16] <ardchoille> Dial_tone: I seem to remember a firefox extension by that name
[07:16] <zammit> yea, it just does the install process it looks like, then i get the kernel error again, does that mean it is faulty?
[07:16] <Krhis> Dial_tone,There are download managers?
[07:16] <sys8976> anyone know if freenode is down?
[07:16] <Krhis> sys8976, you are on freenode

[07:19] <sys8976> zammit: where you boot from the burn and run it that way?
[07:19] <sys8976> lens: depends on server and how bad the ban was
[07:19] <avis> zammit, i feel so bad for you you'd be a good candidate for my father to donate a box to.  we have a 1.1ghz celeron with 192 pc100 ram and 20 gig and 5 gig drive.  its not doing anything.  he's trying to find a poor person to give it to.
[07:19] <IRCMonkeyx> i just had ubuntu 6.06. I try to install. I have windows xp. In installation, i choose manually partition. and i am scare of losing my data on other drives

[07:21] <sys8976> zammit: and runs with no issue?
[07:21] <Krhis> Jesse, never used d4x. gwget is new but I use wget.
[07:21] <Yuffster> Hurrah, I'm on Ubuntu for the first time. :D
[07:21] <avis> well dad wants to give the whole thing away so if you just want the monitor take the tower too.  dad wanted to give it to a poor kid.
[07:21] <zammit> sys89: yea, i get the install screen
[07:21] <Yuffster> Well, on it with the 'net, anyways.
[07:21] <sys8976> Yuffster: woot welcome to the new world
[07:21] <raphink> Yuffster: congrats
[07:21] <Yuffster> But I have a question...
[07:22] <sys8976> zammit: what version are you using?
[07:22] <Jesse> Krhis, ok ill give wget a try when i change over to ubuntu
[07:22] <ardchoille> Yuffster: Kudos!
[07:22] <Yuffster> I've got a couple of TrueCrypt partitions...
[07:22] <zammit> sys89, it loads the kernal 100%.. .checks devices, then attempts to load the kernel, and it throws an error
[07:22] <Yuffster> And I'd like to access them now.
[07:22] <Yuffster> How would I do that?
[07:22] <zammit> sys: 6.06
[07:22] <Krhis> Jesse, good luck. Never failed me.
[07:22] <sys8976> avis: I am sure there is someone that can use it way more than I could, check with the battered womens shelter and such that would help someone I am sure
[07:22] <Jesse> Krhis, ok thansk
[07:22] <IRCMonkeyx> can anyone help me for manual partioning pls??
[07:22] <raphink> Yuffster: truecrypt partitions? what is that?
[07:22] <avis> yes thats true
[07:22] <RawSewage> anyone know a good Linux eBook reader
[07:22] <Yuffster> It's an encryption thing...

[07:23] <raphink> RawSewage: how about apt-cache search ebook?
[07:23] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: dualbooting w/ windows?
[07:23] <zammit> sys89: get my msgs?
[07:23] <Yuffster> My Windows partition doesn't work anymore, so I was hoping I could get the files without having to reinstall XP.
[07:23] <RawSewage> raphael, I did that
[07:23] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx are you using the desktop install or the alternate?
[07:23] <IRCMonkeyx> i dony know how to partion manually
[07:24] <raphink> RawSewage: I'm not sure we have one... if there's even an official ebook format
[07:24] <RawSewage> raphink, actually, I typed ebook in Adept
[07:24] <sys8976> avis: no I am on a amd64 1800+ 1.5g ram 60g main drive 40g spare, nvid 6600 gt vid card and a 19" mon, just was wanting to set up duel mons :D

[07:24] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot ... outdated, but the general steps you need to do are the same
[07:24] <sys8976> Yuffster: if you run the win cd and do a repair then it will fix the boot issue
[07:24] <sys8976> zammit: 1280x1024
[07:24] <Yuffster> Well, it's broken because I screwed up the video card.
[07:25] <b00gz> So I rebooted my computer and I try and startx and I get IO error 104
[07:25] <zammit> sys: 1280x1024 on 19"? =(
[07:25] <Yuffster> I switched to my onboard instead of my NVIDIA because the NVIDIA wouldn't load with Ubunutu...
[07:25] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx okay, and from that you chose manual partitioning I guess when it got to that state?
[07:25] <Yuffster> But now I can't see anything on either card in XP.
[07:25] <sys8976> zammit: lol I am old hehe way better than 800 HAHA
[07:25] <stephan__> Yuffster, nvidia will load on Ubunu
[07:25] <sys8976> Yuffster: mine did what card you got

[07:26] <avis> these are 2.5 cas pc2700 notebook chips and i could mail them 16mx64 *2 toshiba and samsung 2 * 256 megs each pc2700 cas 2.5
[07:26] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops in installation in 5/6 it asks
[07:26] <Yuffster> It kept crashing Xserver.
[07:26] <sys8976> Yuffster: yea that should load on install
[07:26] <Yuffster> So I couldn't even install, because I couldn't get to the desktop to click on the install thing.
[07:26] <IRCMonkeyx> i say resize for my drive e , drive e is free and fat 32
[07:26] <sys8976> avis: can I message you?
[07:26] <avis> yes sir
[07:26] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx, no data at all on drive e?
[07:27] <snoops> or /dev/hdc
[07:27] <GeistDerZeit> Hi guys. I'm running at a Breezy version of Ubuntu and wanted to install  ruby, rails and other gems. But the recommended version (the one that works with gems) is 1.8.4, but i got only 1.8.3 in repositories. So, my question is, should i stick with ruby 1.8.3 and use the repositories version of rails, or install 1.8.4 from Dapper repos (or perhaps build it from sources)? Getting gems will corrompe my system in any way? Does it install things in other
[07:27] <GeistDerZeit>  places tham user's home?
[07:27] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops yes i took all on drive d
[07:27] <stephan__> Yuffster : cat /etc/fstab and see what your vidio identifier is
[07:27] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: switch to Dapper is the best option imo
[07:28] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops, i have no data on drive e, i wanna install on drive e
[07:28] <snoops> okay IRCMonkeyx, and from the partitioner you've chosen the correct drive, the one with nothing on it, since it won't show up as drive e
[07:28] <Jesse> before i go does any one know how to configure my netcomm nb1300 adsl modem in ubuntu?
[07:28] <snoops> I'm using it'll show up as /dev/hdc, but heh
[07:28] <Yuffster> Sorry, I don't see a video identifier...
[07:28] <GeistDerZeit> I fear the transition, cause i've a lot of packages installed. Is it smooth?
[07:28] <snoops> I'm guessing* rather
[07:28] <sys8976> avis: are you getting my messages?
[07:28] <Yuffster> Can I message you the output?
[07:28] <avis> no i dont think you are registered
[07:28] <XVampireX> Hi
[07:28] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: it should be ;)
[07:29] <sys8976> bah I am not
[07:29] <XVampireX> I downloaded and applied the cairo-enabled clearlooks gtk theme, but it doesn't work.
[07:29] <sys8976> avis: whats that command again I forgot irc
[07:29] <XVampireX> There's no animation
[07:29] <cam> anyone using vim with this parameter "set listchars"  set ? Even if I type ":set listchars=tab:>-,trail:-" , spaces and tab are not replaced in my file ..
[07:29] <avis> ./msg nickserv help
[07:29] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ,but i stop at mount partioning part, because i scare, it says choose swap, choose / , and it shows my other drives too, not only e
[07:29] <sys8976> avis: right one sec lol
[07:29] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: it's much better to run Dapper if you need Dapper packages, than to use Dapper packages inside Breezy
[07:29] <stephan__> Yuffster : sorry im baked.....check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:29] <GeistDerZeit> Anyways, if i install gems, are there problems, or i can follow this path without much to fear?
[07:29] <XVampireX> Does anyone know what's the problem or if I need to do anything else other than just download and dpkg -i it?
[07:29] <Yuffster> Ah, yeah, that I understand.
[07:29] <stephan__> lol
[07:29] <Nao> does anyone know how to install the synaptics driver for dapper for my touchpad?
[07:30] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx right, well there should be a drop down on the top right ish for selecting the drive to partition
[07:30] <stephan__> can someone tell my why this command "  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " is gettings a  :Permission denied
[07:30] <b00gz> So I rebooted my computer and I try and startx and I get IO error 104
[07:30] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: do _not_ install packages from dapper in breezy anyways. If you intend to do so, you should backport them (i.e. rebuild the packages with the breezy libs)
[07:30] <b00gz> someone please help!
[07:30] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops should i click resize, remember drive e is free
[07:30] <Yuffster> I'm not really that interested in getting the NVIDIA working right now anyways.
[07:30] <sys8976> b00gz: what is the whole error please
[07:31] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx want me to pm you actually, might be easier (rooms a bit busy right now)
[07:31] <fdsd> hey guys, what does dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) modify?
[07:31] <raphink> GeistDerZeit: which is why I say it's much easier for you to just upgrade to dapper, unless you know something about backporting ;)
[07:31] <sys8976> avis: how bout now you get that one?
[07:31] <sys8976> fdsd: your world hehe
[07:31] <Zeddi> Hi all, im having a problem attempting to install the ati fglrx driver. I've successfully installed it on a Deb system before
[07:31] <raphink> fdsd: it relaunches the configure process of the linux-image-$(uname -r) package
[07:31] <Zeddi> Not sure whats wrong
[07:31] <raphink> fdsd: i.e. is resets your kernel package
[07:31] <GeistDerZeit> Eheh, yeah. I thought it would be the best option. I'll try the upgrade.
[07:32] <fdsd> raphink, okay, I am trying to modify the ubuntu live cd
[07:32] <b00gz> sys8976 it was fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 0:0 after 0 requests
[07:32] <fdsd> raphink, I need to run that to customize the usplash screen
[07:32] <raphink> sure
[07:32] <sys8976> b00gz: checking it out one sec
[07:32] <b00gz> ys8976 so now I am using Lynx and trying to google a fix :*(
[07:33] <fdsd> raphink, I need to copy the files it modifies to my filesystem.squash (that is the file on the live cd that holds the filesystem)
[07:33] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ?
[07:33] <stephan__> can someone tell my why this command "  sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " is gettings a  :Permission denied
[07:33] <Yuffster> Does Dapper come with LAMP?
[07:33] <Nao> does anyone know how to install the synaptics driver for dapper for my touchpad?
[07:34] <raphink> Yuffster: there's an installation option to install a LAMP server by default
[07:34] <sys8976> b00gz: can you get into xwin?
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I looked to see what was modified and it looks like /lib/modules/kernelname the initrd.img and the /var/lib/initramfs-tools
[07:34] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[07:34] <b00gz> sys8976 how do I do that?
[07:34] <Yuffster> Ah, I guess I probably didn't select that.
[07:34] <snoops> k, you're not registered.. no worries
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I copied those files over and it doesnt change anything
[07:34] <sys8976> b00gz: are you looking at cli (command line) now or gui (windows look)?
[07:34] <stephan__> can someone tell me why i would get this error bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied
[07:34] <b00gz> cli
[07:34] <fdsd> raphink, I tried to run that while I was chroot'd to the filesystem.squash but it didnt work
[07:34] <phizz>  whares the best place to keep common user files (mp3s, pics other crap) I used to run it out of opt. would /usr/local be more proper?
[07:35] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops can we talk from msn?
[07:35] <sys8976> IRCMonkeyx: not hard to reg so you can /msg
[07:35] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx there's two steps.. the manual partitioning step involves you choosing the drive to install ubuntu on, and ideally making 3 partitions on theat drive
[07:35] <fdsd> raphink, since it is using a different kernel
[07:35] <snoops> that*
[07:35] <IRCMonkeyx> i can give my msn
[07:35] <b00gz> sys8975 cli
[07:35] <sys8976> b00gz: ok one sec
[07:35] <fdsd> raphink, any idea how to do it in chroot or what files it modifies so I can copy it over?
[07:36] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops i see those two steps,
[07:37] <sys8976> b00gz: try $sudo apt-get install xterm and see if that doesnt fix it
[07:37] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx so, that'll be the step before the current one you're on, the one for manually edit partition table.. from there will be a drop down box on the top right ish to select the drive you want to install on. It won't show up as "E" because that's windows terminology, and isn't used in the linux world. It'll probably be marked as /dev/hdc.. or it could be anything really
[07:37] <IRCMonkeyx> but my problem it shows my other drives too, and boxes as formatting
[07:37] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx when you select a drive from the drop down, it'll display the partitions on that drive.. hopefully from that you can deduce which drive is your drive 'E'
[07:37] <b00gz> sys8976 trying that now ... do I put the $ in front of sudo? if so what does that do? ...
[07:38] <sys8976> b00gz: no
[07:38] <Invader> I have a friends here what is trying to get his internet in ubuntu to work can someone help him
[07:38] <quicoju_> help! keep getting this error when trying to run Xorg:
[07:38] <quicoju_> could not open default cursor font 'cursor'
[07:38] <Invader> -s
[07:38] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops it says , choose swap and / thing
[07:38] <b00gz> sys8976 what is xterm?
[07:38] <b00gz> sys8976 thanks so much for the help you rock!
[07:39] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx then once you find the correct drive from that step, you'll want to create 3 partitions (ideally).
[07:39] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx that can be say a swap partition, and size of that should roughly be twice your ram (it's just the rule of thumb and doesn't really matter if you have a lot of ram)
[07:39] <sys8976> b00gz: it is something that has caused that issue before
[07:40] <sys8976> b00gz: did it work?
[07:40] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops ,do i have any chance to send you a screenshot? the window that i dont know what to do?
[07:40] <b00gz> sys8976 its downloading and install still it was like 185 MB worth ths stuff
[07:40] <sys8976> b00gz: kk
[07:40] <Jesse> any one know how to configure my netcomm nb1300 adsl modem in ubuntu?
[07:41] <Nao> can anyone tell me how to install the synaptics pad drivers on ubuntu?
[07:41] <moforila> I have a old ibm machine, it has a k6 2/550, 500mhz cpu and 64mb of ram. Is this good enough to run ubuntu
[07:41] <snoops> I think you're on the step after partitioning IRCMonkeyx
[07:41] <snoops> I mentioned going back a step before..
[07:41] <IRCMonkeyx> yes snoops thats correct
[07:43] <fdsd> raphink, any idea?
[07:43] <moforila> is 500mhz and 64mb of ram enought for ubuntu
[07:43] <ogami> definately
[07:43] <snoops> IRCMonkeyx the step you're on should be the one where you choose your / and swap partitions, since it assumes you've already created them
[07:43] <b00gz> sys8976 I now get creating new authority file... Server error
[07:44] <raphink> fdsd: sorry was away for a time
[07:46] <fdsd> raphink, I am tring to figure out how to run that command from chroot or copy the modified files from the booted live to my filesystem.squash I am modifing
[07:46] <fdsd> raphink, any idea on what dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-blah modifies?
[07:47] <Jesse> moforila, if the gnome ubuntu lags you might want to try xubuntu @ http://www.xubuntu.org/
[07:47] <raphink> fdsd: I'm not a kernel expert
[07:47] <raphink> :s
[07:47] <avis> i'm running xubuntu on a 2.53 p4 and i like it better than gnome
[07:48] <avis> i also have a gnome box that i haven't played with thats a bit more powerful
[07:48] <Jesse> avis, well i haven't used ubuntu besides the live cd so i can't compare
[07:48] <rpedro_> Jesse: isn't the Netcomm NB1300 a router?
[07:49] <Jesse> rpedro_, could be lol
[07:49] <Invader> anyone know how to get DSL internet working in Ubuntu?
[07:49] <Jesse> rpedro_, its a ethernet/ usb adsl modem router
[07:49] <sys8976> that Netcomm NB1300 is a adsl router/modem combo
[07:49] <sys8976> hehe
[07:49] <rpedro_> Jesse: so if it is, what's the issue? just connect to your nic and configure the network
[07:50] <sys8976> Invadeis it pppoe or what?
[07:50] <sys8976> err sorry that was for Invader
[07:50] <ubuntu> hello, is it possible to download an iso using a livecd if my memory is way less than the size of the iso? ie i need to access my hd somehow.
[07:50] <Jesse> rpedro_, thats what i was going to do but just thought i'd double check
[07:51] <Invader> idk my firend is talking to me on a differnet IRC and his says his Internet does not work "he just installed ubuntu today"
[07:51] <Jesse> jron, no im quite sure the live cd doesn't allow you to acsess the harddrives
[07:51] <sys8976> Invader: mine works through dsl here so got to know how you connect through it
[07:51] <sys8976> Jesse: that is correct
[07:51] <rpedro_> Jesse: though you may have to configure things such as DHCP in the router, if you using it's usb interface before, I guess
[07:52] <loquitus_of_borg> Hi. Is there a program I can install in Linux that will let me simply copy the entire contents of a DVD to a directory on my system from a DVD, similar to how WinDECSS works in Windows?
[07:52] <Jesse> rpedro_, nah im using ethernet
[07:52] <jron> are you sure Jesse, i know with the gentoo livecd, the HD can be accessed.
[07:52] <rpedro_> Jesse: ok
[07:52] <dreamcatcher5172> login screen wont start due to security policies
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> then it cant start /dev/wacom
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> says that last bit over and over
[07:53] <Jesse> jron, well sys8976 said im correct so i would presume you can't
[07:53] <Nao> is there anyway for me to apt-get the synaptics drivers?
[07:53] <icebreeze> hey is there any way to get a mouse button to act like a key press so it keeps the action you chose and then after you let go it stops it? say like if you crouch in a game it stays crouched but if you use the mouse it just crouches quickly and then lets go.  is there any way to make it stay crouched until you let go of the mouse?
[07:53] <sys8976> Jesse: hehe I dont know it all lol :D
[07:53] <spades> jron what are you trying to do?
[07:53] <rpedro_> jron: System >> Administration >> Disk , and configure there the mountpoints
[07:53] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: try sudo apt-get updates
[07:53] <jron> download an ISO to my HD while booting from a livecd.
[07:53] <dreamcatcher5172> tried to access login screen from artwork program cant do that..just download the file...and cant set login screen from system-administrations
[07:54] <jron> rpedro_, thank you, just what i needed :P
[07:54] <sys8976> Nao: I am not sure sorry
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> what is wacom anyways
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> ok
[07:54] <spades> jron as long as you can mount and write it shouldnt be too hard, what filesystem is the harddrive running?
[07:54] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah but im quite sure i tryed to do the same thing and they told me it wasn't worth it and it would most likely screw the partition up heh
[07:54] <dreamcatcher5172> E-invalid operation updates
[07:54] <rpedro_> jron: np ;P
[07:54] <jron> prob ntfs, ill need to format it first.
[07:55] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> what ifi dont have a tablet
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> just a desktop with mouse and keyboard
[07:55] <dreamcatcher5172> dont think i need wacom
[07:55] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: you are correct
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> do you suppose thats what is messing up my login screen?
[07:56] <CptAJ> So I got my nvidia running, its all nicely accelerated. Now, how do I make it detect my second monitor (tv) like it does on windows?
[07:56] <sys8976> Jesse: good point
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> how do i get rid of it...edit xorg.conf?
[07:56] <zammit> sys89: any ideas on my installation problem?
[07:56] <sys8976> dreamcatcher5172: no that wouldnt do that
[07:56] <dreamcatcher5172> suggestions?
[07:56] <JIm> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:56] <sys8976> zammit: question again please so I am informed I am helping here and in the opera channel :D sorry
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> login screen turns error for security policies and tries to loda /dev/wacom
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> i can still use gnome with startx
[07:57] <snoops> does wget support threadding? eg split this file up into 5 portions and download them all from a list of addresses?
[07:57] <sys8976> JIm: server just sets opts in for server and install to harddisk sets for end user install
[07:57] <dreamcatcher5172> but login screen cant be configured and it wont start
[07:57] <distantmsx> k
[07:57] <Jesse> 3 hours to go this is so exciting lol i can just see it now 3, 2, 1 phone rings we need you to come into work
[07:57] <zammit> sys89: no problem, don't mean to hastle ya... my install freezes when it attempts to start the kernel after running the device loader (or w/e)
[07:57] <sys8976> Jesse: haha
[07:58] <ice-t> hi! how can i find out which charset is standard on a linux-system in the terminal (ssh, bash)?
[07:58] <CptAJ> anyone?
[07:58] <JIm> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:58] <sys8976> zammit: thats right and this is an older system right?
[07:58] <avis> i'm disabled i have unlimited computer time.
[07:58] <zammit> sys89: just downloaded it today, 6.06
[07:58] <avis> though some dreadful days...
[07:58] <Jesse> sys8976, though it doesn't beat the time in the live cd i couldn't modify a file so i went stuff it i want to be able to modify all the files and set them all to 777
[07:59] <dreamcatcher5172> brb restarting x
[07:59] <JIM> Ubuntu Alternative 6.06 Installer CD has a "Install Server" choice... what's the difference of that installation choice and the Ubuntu 6.06 Server Installer cd's "Install to the harddisk" choice?
[07:59] <sys8976> Jesse: yea but 777 is huge security issue
[07:59] <sys8976> sys8976	JIm: server just sets opts in for server and install to harddisk sets for end user install
[08:00] <JIM> hhhmt
[08:00] <Jesse> sys8976, yeah? well the whole system ended up screwing over but it was live cd so i could just reboot
[08:00] <JIM> thanks
[08:00] <JIM> :)
[08:00] <sys8976> Jesse: good point I am just a security freak lol
[08:00] <sys8976> JIM: anytime
[08:00] <Anony> Can someone please help me fix my audio? I made a list of things I have tried and thier output at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209882
[08:00] <Jesse> sys8976, what are the flaws of using 777?
[08:00] <JIM> so, that would mean that both can be configured to be used as a webserver right sys8976?
[08:01] <avis> Jesse, its accessible and alterable to anyone.
[08:01] <zammit> anyone can read/write/execute
[08:01] <sys8976> Jesse: well 777 gives everyone (outsiders also) the ability to read/write any file that is chmod to that
[08:01] <JIM> so, that would mean that both can be configured to be used as a webserver right sys8976?
[08:01] <sys8976> JIM: no set server for that not install hdd
[08:01] <Jesse> hmmm then what number allows me to just modify them?
[08:01] <jron> what is the root password for the livecds? =(
[08:02] <sys8976> JIM: I mean you can do the install hdd but you would have to dl bunch more apts
[08:02] <raphink> jron: there's a sudo access without a password
[08:02] <avis> Jesse change them to 755 under the user you want only to have access to them
[08:02] <zammit> sys89: my specs are as follows: pII ~300mhz, 64mb ram, 4gb hdd, asus MB (with 16bit ISA slots as well as 32bit pci)
[08:02] <raphink> jron: so sudo -i makes you root without a password
[08:02] <sys8976> Jesse: checking brain soured from beer right now lol
[08:02] <avis> Jesse, make sure you are logged in as that use
[08:02] <sys8976> avis: thanks
[08:02] <avis> user
[08:02] <Jesse> ok
[08:02] <jron> thanks, sorry for all the lame questions, use to gentoo's su
[08:02] <JIM> thanks once again sys8976
[08:03] <sys8976> JIM: anytime
[08:03] <JIM> jron: sudo gives you a limited time to act like a root user... i think its about 15 mins..
[08:03] <sys8976> zammit: not sure man yours has me puzzled and cant trouble shoot like I want right now cause of drink sorry
[08:03] <ideogram> So the only reason my dad still needs XP is to run the Photo management software that came with his camera.  Do you suppose there is a program easy enough to learn that I could get him to use Ubuntu?
[08:03] <sys8976> jron: no lame questions we are all here for one another :D
[08:04] <raphink> jron: when you discover about sudo, you won't want to use su anymore ;)
[08:04] <zammit> sys89: lol its okay, could it be due to the "low memory mode" ? i've only got 64meg of sdram
[08:04] <sys8976> ideogram: search google with the make/model along with +linux at the end and you should find something if there is
[08:04] <raphink> ideogram: there are very nice photo programs in ubuntu/kubuntu
[08:04] <Jesse> ugh bored of waiting
[08:04] <ideogram> the main thing is getting something easy enough for him to learn
[08:05] <ideogram> he only does simple editing like red-eye elimination and cropping
[08:05] <Madpilot> ideogram, check out gThumb, it's got some nice photo-management tools
[08:05] <snoops> to view or edit raphink?
[08:05] <sys8976> zammit: that is a possiblity I wont rule out, but not wanting to lean to that.  you should still be able to dump into cli mode without gui on that system but it isnt even doing that
[08:05] <raphink> sn00p: you mean pics? either
[08:05] <Jesse> hey is the bot still here?
[08:05] <raphink> I personaly use digikam, being on KDE, but I've hear f-spot is really nice on GNOME
[08:06] <raphink> Jesse: ubotu is a bot
[08:06] <sys8976> Jesse: yes
[08:06] <raphink> !what Jesse wants
[08:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about what Jesse wants
[08:06] <Jesse> yup that was the one i was thinking of
[08:06] <raphink> see Jesse, you should just tell him what you want ;)
[08:06] <zammit> sys89: is there another linux os out there that i could test? see if i have faulty hardware? btw, i'm runnin win98 presently (want to get rid of it)
[08:07] <Jesse> !what esd
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what esd
[08:07] <avis> zammit, knoppix has a live cd.
[08:07] <cef> sys8976: memtest86 perhaps? is it on the cd?
[08:07] <sys8976> zammit: suse would be the only other one that I would think (from the dl driver support it has) would be the only opition to try
[08:07] <rpedro_> zammit: try Damn Small Linux
[08:07] <sys8976> cef: not sure
[08:07] <ardchoille> Good night all :)
[08:07] <stephan__> !what quake3
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what quake3
[08:07] <sys8976> ardchoille: night
[08:07] <[Spooky] > is it possible to change the Computer name ?
[08:07] <stephan__> !what quake
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about what quake
[08:07] <zammit> sys89 & rpedro: thanks i'll try those *crosses fingers*
[08:07] <cef> sys8976: I know it's on the DVD, but not sure about the cd
[08:08] <Gonzo> my xmms does not want to play wma anymore :( it use to work but now either skips over it or freezes
[08:08] <sys8976> cef: yea dont think it is on cd
[08:08] <Gonzo> anyone has an idea?
[08:08] <sys8976> Gonzo: more beer
[08:08] <ideogram> both gThumb and f-spot look good -- looks like I have many choices
[08:08] <[Spooky] > all i have found is on changing the workgroup name...
[08:08] <sys8976> lol sorry had to let it out
[08:08] <Gonzo> sys8976:  gimme a sec
[08:08] <ideogram> heh maybe I will just confuse my dad
[08:08] <JIM> Gonzo: how about downloading the extension for playing wma again?
[08:08] <JIM> -_-
[08:08] <Gonzo> JIM:  i did..
[08:08] <avis> Gonzo, there is an updated .deb for win32 codecs in the wiki dated 6/06
[08:08] <Gonzo> as i said... i use to be able to play them
[08:08] <Gonzo> not anymore
[08:09] <sys8976> Gonzo: have you updated like JIM suggested?
[08:09] <JIM> re-install the codec
[08:09] <XVampireX> HELP
[08:09] <Gonzo> yes i did
[08:09] <XVampireX> I can't install themes
[08:09] <sys8976> [Spooky] : yes there is but not sure hold on I look
[08:09] <Gonzo> anyway tru synaptic
[08:09] <Gonzo> reinstalled xmms all over as well
[08:09] <JIM> erk
[08:09] <XVampireX> Any theme I install doesn't appear in the theme preferences
[08:09] <avis> if your nuts like me you'll do a apt-get install gstreamer0.10-* :) as well.  well, actually not, but you could.. and you'd pretty much be covered
[08:09] <stephan__> i just noticed when i installed kde it installed everthing as 386................how do i get 686's
[08:09] <XVampireX> PLEASE HELP ME
[08:09] <JIM> what desktop are you using XVampireX
[08:10] <JIM> ?
[08:10] <Jesse> sudo killall esd
[08:10] <XVampireX> gnome
[08:10] <XVampireX> ubuntu
[08:10] <JIM> hhmm
[08:10] <raphink> XVampireX: please do not use caps like that. We know you have a problem, and many people do here, and it's not a reason to put the attention on you this way.
[08:10] <XVampireX> I just installed candido but it's not there!
[08:10] <JIM> have you tried downloading themes from this site? >> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[08:10] <XVampireX> raphink, I came here few minutes ago
[08:11] <sys8976> [Spooky] : here ya go hange the Computer Name
[08:11] <sys8976> System->Administration->Networking
[08:11] <sys8976> Select the General tab. Enter the name of the computer in the Hostname field.
[08:11] <sys8976> Click OK, close all open applications and reboot.
[08:11] <XVampireX> No one said anything
[08:11] <JIM> have you tried downloading themes from this site? >> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[08:11] <JIM> themes on that site works well on my distro
[08:11] <raphink> XVampireX: maybe because this is not a hotline
[08:11] <JIM> :)
[08:11] <XVampireX> JIM, Yeah, I even compiled candido!
[08:11] <JIM> ?
[08:11] <JIM> compiled?!
[08:11] <XVampireX> yeah
[08:11] <Jesse> Gonzo, when i had sound problems i just used sudo killall esd then started esd up again, worth a try
[08:11] <JIM> i didn't even compiled any stuff when changing a theme
[08:12] <sys8976> gah I love google lol
[08:12] <XVampireX> Candido is not in the theme menu :(
[08:12] <esoteric> does anyone know where i can locate linux drivers for the xbox dvd playback kit?
[08:12] <dAndy> anyone know which package provides a go away message on login (like /sbin/nologin in redhat speak)
[08:12] <sys8976> XVampireX: did you install it via sudo
[08:12] <Gonzo> Jesse:  doesn't work
[08:12] <XVampireX> sys8976, yeah
[08:12] <sys8976> esoteric: old or 360?
[08:12] <[Spooky] > sys8976: thanks :P brb
[08:12] <sys8976> kk
[08:12] <XVampireX> Well
[08:13] <XVampireX> There's one detail, I installed the gtk engine, not the theme
[08:13] <XVampireX> Maybe I'm confused
[08:13] <Jesse> Gonzo, beats me
[08:13] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me with dual booting? I think I need to install /boot again, on my master drive, and I'm wondering if I need anything else moved around or if alternately if I can/should delete /boot on the slave...
[08:13] <sys8976> XVampireX: umm lol yea you have to install the theme after the engine to get it to work
[08:13] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: details please
[08:13] <XVampireX> sys8976, Oh, thanks
[08:14] <sys8976> woot
[08:14] <dAndy> nobody knows?
[08:14] <esoteric> sys8976: i want to get drivers for my old xbox dvd playback kit so that it will work on linux
[08:14] <esoteric> on my pc
[08:14] <sys8976> dAndy: sorry had 4 other tickets going tell me what was going on
[08:14] <q_a_z_steve> I installed Breezy on a 120GB slave to a 40 GB master.
[08:14] <q_a_z_steve> I've followed the other steps in this doc...
[08:14] <JIM> wow
[08:14] <JIM> what a spec
[08:14] <JIM> :P
[08:15] <sys8976> esoteric: whew not sure on that one sorry
[08:15] <dAndy> sys8976: i am migrating from centos, and at using nis, I put +::::::/sbin/nologin in the bottom of the passwd file
[08:15] <q_a_z_steve> http://geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
[08:15] <dAndy> but /sbin/nologin doesnt exist in ubuntu, is there a package?
[08:15] <q_a_z_steve> my parts on the slave are as follows.
[08:15] <esoteric> sys8976: np so any ideas where i can find the drivers or more specifically the source code for them so i can compile it for my system
[08:15] <dAndy> or something similar?
[08:16] <Nao> I'm looking at my xorg.conf and see that under the section inputdevice it says that my mouse's driver is just "mouse" does anyone know how to get it to use the synaptics one?
[08:16] <IsDis4me> Hello
[08:16] <orbin> dAndy: what does it do exactly?
[08:16] <sys8976> esoteric: have you hit google yet
[08:16] <Redrose> can i ask, what is the difference between say, aircrack and aircrack-ng?
[08:16] <Redrose> what does the -ng mean?
[08:16] <IRCMonkeyx>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[08:16] <esoteric> sys8976: extensivly...with no luck as of yet...
[08:16] <sys8976> orbin: here is dAndy have fun you two
[08:16] <dAndy> orbin: just says "This account isnt available" and exits, (i could write my own, but when managing 50 boxes, I would rather have a deb
[08:16] <IsDis4me> is there an ubuntu app that is like Mathematica
[08:17] <Redrose> does ng stand for next gen?
[08:17] <raphink> what is mathematica?
[08:17] <dAndy> Redrose: typically
[08:17] <q_a_z_steve> '/boot 30MB, swap, 768 MB, /windows 35G, / 15G , /home max
[08:17] <Redrose> so what is so much better about it vs the normal package?
[08:18] <IRCMonkeyx> snoops here??  anyone could help me for mount points???
[08:18] <sys8976> esoteric: ok the firmware that xbox used for its dvd playback if I remeber right was a freaked out wma type have you tried any codecs for win media player yet?
[08:18] <dAndy> IsDis4me: there is R (which is more like a programming language for math type stuff) http://www.r-project.org/
[08:18] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: what boot loader are you using?
[08:18] <IsDis4me> thx
[08:18] <Redrose> and also, the device sit0 keeps showing up on my ifconfig, how do i get rid of it?
[08:19] <q_a_z_steve> standard grub, which is why I didn't use bootpart at first
[08:19] <sys8976> IRCMonkeyx: got 4 tickets going if you can hold on I will try :D otherwise others here can also when they get free
[08:19] <Jesse> raphink, mathematica is a maths program which mainly helps with algebra
[08:19] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: what is grub showing on boot?
[08:19] <raphink> Jesse: did you search for math programs in synaptic/adept/apt-cache?
[08:19] <IRCMonkeyx> ok thanx sys89
[08:19] <esoteric> sys8976: i need the xir source....basically ive attached a usb cable to my xbox dongle and have plugged it into my ubuntu pc...the device manager is recognising this as an xbox dvd playback kit but it is using the xpad driver?
[08:19] <Redrose> jesse:mathomatic
[08:20] <sys8976> esoteric: ahh ok one sec
[08:20] <Jesse> raphink no im sure ive herd the teacher mention it before
[08:20] <Redrose> how do i configure my wireless network card to automatically connect to one network...
[08:20] <Cntryboy> Why doesn't kaffine movie player allow me to have sound? The speaker with in the program has a slash through it.
[08:21] <Jesse> but from further googling it looks to be a programing language
[08:22] <sys8976> esoteric: here is something that might be what can help not sure didnt read it all but I think it will http://etl.cs.luc.edu/gkt/research/xir
[08:23] <Jesse> well im going to cook dinner so cya thanks for the conversation and help
[08:23] <sys8976> Jesse: it has been good conversation have fun
[08:23] <esoteric> sys8976: nah ty but we need Xbox Infared Remote (xir) drivers for linux
[08:23] <q_a_z_steve> grub never gets loaded my boot.ini doesn't go there...
[08:24] <Jesse> sys8976, well ill probably be back tommorow in ubuntu asking how to do more things
[08:24] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: ok then you need to go in and change that
[08:24] <sys8976> Jesse: hehe ok take care
[08:24] <IRCMonkeyx> is there anyone free to help stupid windows user :D
[08:24] <sys8976> esoteric: looking some more
[08:24] <q_a_z_steve> sys8976, my boot.ini?
[08:25] <kholerabbi> Should I set up additional partitions as ext2 or ext3?
[08:25] <orbin> IRCMonkeyx: just ask
[08:25] <JIM> whats the problem ? IRCMonkeyx
[08:25] <sys8976> esoteric: here is one I think http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/LIRC
[08:25] <q_a_z_steve> boot.ini edited by bootpart...
[08:25] <orbin> kholerabbi: i'd go w/ 3
[08:25] <sys8976> esoteric: might have to change some values but it should be workable
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, what partition? /boot is okay with ext2
[08:26] <kholerabbi> orbin: OK, its just ext2 is default
[08:26] <kholerabbi> Just for data
[08:26] <Cntryboy> Why doesn't kaffine movie player allow me to have sound? The speaker with in the program has a slash through it.
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> people this is my first time with lunix
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, jfs is good also
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> i have windows xp
[08:26] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: yes you have to have the boot (grub) know that what it is looking for,
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> drive c-d-e
[08:26] <JIM> ?
[08:26] <kholerabbi> dli: is there much difference?
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> drive e is free no data, fat32
[08:26] <dli> kholerabbi, yes, jfs is fast with fsck (journal replay)
[08:26] <IRCMonkeyx> i try to install ubuntu
[08:26] <JIM> ok IRCMonkeyx.... and?
[08:27] <JIM> and then?
[08:27] <SurfnKid> hi guys
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i dont know how to mount points
[08:27] <sys8976> SurfnKid: hiya
[08:27] <SurfnKid> :)
[08:27] <SurfnKid> sup
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i wanna install on drive e
[08:27] <JIM> just set the mount point to "/
[08:27] <JIM> just set the mount point to "/" IRCMonkeyx
[08:27] <kholerabbi> dli: I'm not sure what fsck is, but I'll go jfs anyway - mayaslwell :)
[08:27] <JIM> without the quote ofcourse
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> jim but how?
[08:27] <JIM> hhhhhhmm
[08:27] <IRCMonkeyx> i am scare of losing my data
[08:27] <dli> kholerabbi, that's good, I don't use ext[23]  any more
[08:27] <JIM> select the Manually edit the partition
[08:27] <JIM> well
[08:28] <JIM> here's a tip
[08:28] <JIM> remember the size of your drive e
[08:28] <kholerabbi> dli: dose the os (dapper) require ext3 though?
[08:28] <JIM> :)
[08:28] <JIM> then
[08:28] <kholerabbi> Or should I jsut use jfs altogether?
[08:28] <dli> kholerabbi, anyone would work, ext[23] , jfs, xfs, reiserfs
[08:28] <kholerabbi> dli: ok thanks
[08:28] <JIM> in the Manually edit the partition option, find the hard disk size the matches your drive e
[08:28] <JIM> :P
[08:28] <esoteric> sys8976: thats along the right lines...i have read that page before but the problem is that the modules provided are compiled for the 2.4 kernel running on an xbox and i have been unable to load them into my 2.6 ubuntu kernel
[08:28] <IRCMonkeyx> jim i do those steps what you say
[08:28] <Gonzo> note to self: when something doesn't work... kill everything and start all over again...
[08:28] <dli> kholerabbi, you can do that, I use /boot jfs also
[08:28] <delmar> kholerabbi, use ext3
[08:29] <JIM> and change the filesystem type of that from FAT32 to ext3
[08:29] <JIM> got it IRCMonkeyx?
[08:29] <esoteric> sys8976: if i could find the source for those compiled files i presume i could recompile them for 2.6
[08:29] <sys8976> esoteric: right now we just have to go through the lines and see where we need to make the changes before compile
[08:29] <kholerabbi> A bit of controversy here: delmar dli? Why do you pick ext3?
[08:29] <IRCMonkeyx> after those new windows comes
[08:29] <JIM> the installer will re-format that part of your harddrive
[08:29] <sys8976> Gonzo: hehe better than windows anyday
[08:29] <delmar> kholerabbi, if u are not gonna use ext3 use XFS.  I have had vast experience..good and bad .. and ive ended up with ext3 on most stuff or xfs.
[08:29] <Gonzo> well... that kind of thing worked right away in window...
[08:30] <dli> kholerabbi, up to you, anyone would work, anyone is stable enough, (ext3/jfs), but jfs is better with features
[08:30] <Gonzo> but lets just be patriotic... why not
[08:30] <Gonzo> :/
[08:30] <kholerabbi> delmar: I'll use ext3 on the main partition, and jfs on small data partitions? sound good?
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> [boot loader]
[08:30] <delmar> kholerabbi, ext3 is a journal file system anyway. XFS is in use commercially and military on SGI systems.
[08:30] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, after i make what say, new windows comes, it says prepare mount points ,hda1 hda2 hda5, with formatting boxes
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> timeout=30
[08:30] <JIM> ahhhhh
[08:30] <IRCMonkeyx> i wanna use only hda5 which is my drive e
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> default=...windows
[08:30] <q_a_z_steve> [operating systems]
[08:30] <JIM> ok
[08:31] <JIM> so
[08:31] <JIM> select hda5
[08:31] <JIM> :)
[08:31] <esoteric> sys8976: wat source file have u found that needs to be modified?
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> ...windows
[08:31] <delmar> kholerabbi, from experience, i would stick with ext3 and xfs only.
[08:31] <JIM> then change its filesystem type to ext3 and the mount point to a /
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> '/fastdetect
[08:31] <dli> kholerabbi, if you box crashes (say, power failure), it takes long for ext3 to do fs scan (scandisk in dos), jfs is super fast
[08:31] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, how to select?? just putting a tick to formatting box???
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> 'c:\linux.bin="Ubuntu"
[08:31] <kholerabbi> delmar: oK, I'll think about it thanks :) - dose that meen you have had bad experiences with others?
[08:31] <JIM> errrr..
[08:31] <JIM> what tick?
[08:31] <sys8976> esoteric: click some of the links in there on that page and you will see I just poked around some and found what they are talking bout it can be done
[08:31] <delmar> kholerabbi, yup. my favorite for a long time was reiserFS.
[08:31] <JIM> just select it.. like hit Enter button
[08:32] <dli> kholerabbi, don't use xfs, unless you have UPS
[08:32] <JIM> try it
[08:32] <JIM> :)
[08:32] <sys8976> q_a_z_steve: no if you do that windows goes byebye as far as boot
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> :)
[08:32] <kholerabbi> I don't - hehe
[08:32] <delmar> kholerabbi, judos to Hans for a great FS, but it let me down a few times
[08:32] <delmar> kholerabbi, kudos* even
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> i have many important data :)
[08:32] <ApocalypticOni> until recently i was a windows user, but now i am trying to make the switch to ubuntu. is there a linux eqiuivalent to control alt delete?
[08:32] <IRCMonkeyx> is there any screenshots on web for it??
[08:32] <q_a_z_steve> sys8976 '/join #ubuntu-chat
[08:32] <sys8976> you need a boot loader and from what I have tested you cant have an os (any from what I have tested) on a spare drive and boot from the main drive sorry
[08:32] <JIM> where's your important data located IRCMonkeyx
[08:32] <JIM> ?
[08:32] <dli> ApocalypticOni, for what?
[08:32] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, there is
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> c and d
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> e is free
[08:33] <JIM> dont worry
[08:33] <JIM> if you selected hda5
[08:33] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, do you want to make it so u can press ctrl-alt-del and get the proc manager?
[08:33] <JIM> it wont delete your other hda
[08:33] <JIM> :)
[08:33] <ApocalypticOni> delmar: ya
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> jim what is / thing?
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> it says use / ?
[08:33] <JIM> a "/" slash
[08:33] <IRCMonkeyx> yes sir
[08:33] <esoteric> sys8976: can u pls gimme a link to the page u are referring to
[08:33] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, system, administration, system monitor
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, thats the app that will show up
[08:34] <ApocalypticOni> thanks
[08:34] <JIM> by-default, most linux users uses that as their mount point
[08:34] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me out with installation from the Alternate Install CD? I'm having alot of trouble.
[08:34] <JIM> :)
[08:34] <JIM> by-default, most linux users uses that as their mount point
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, to make it so that ctrl-alt-del will do that for you.. use Automatix
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/LIRC
[08:34] <JIM> just select or indicated in the mount point that you woule be using "/"
[08:34] <JIM> :)
[08:34] <delmar> ApocalypticOni, apt-get install automatix
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/156984#156984
[08:34] <sys8976> esoteric: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/156055#156055
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> you mean i will put slash for hda5???
[08:35] <JIM> yup
[08:35] <orbin> delmar: it's a script not a package
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> ok thanx jim :)
[08:35] <sys8976> esoteric: through those it should get you at least closer to what you wanting and should get you to were you can compile with 2.6
[08:35] <IRCMonkeyx> i will try
[08:35] <JIM> IRCMonkeyx, may i ask, are you installing your ubuntu distro after you booted it as a LIVE CD?
[08:35] <sys8976> I am out it is late, I am drunk and work calls in morning have fun all with everything you are doing talk with you all later
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> yes jim
[08:36] <esoteric> sys8976:  ok thanks
[08:36] <JIM> like you we're able to try the operating system first before you clicked the "Install" icon?
[08:36] <JIM> like you we're able to try the operating system first before you clicked the "Install" icon?
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> yes jim
[08:36] <sn00p> cat /proc/usb/devices
[08:36] <sn00p> cat: /proc/usb/devices: No such file or directory
[08:36] <sn00p>  how come I get that error?
[08:36] <IRCMonkeyx> it is 6,06
[08:36] <dli> sn00p, lsusb
[08:36] <JIM> here's a good tutorial
[08:36] <JIM> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing.html
[08:37] <dreamcatcher5172> ok i got it fixed
[08:37] <dreamcatcher5172> and now my desktop looks oh so sweet
[08:37] <JIM> here's a good tutorial for installing ubuntu 6.06 in GUI mode... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing.html
[08:37] <orbin> sn00p: exactly as it says.  no file exists of that name
[08:37] <JIM> try that IRCMonkeyx
[08:37] <kholerabbi> If I make changes to a file while using the livecd - like change fstab - will the original file (on the cd) or the modified file (on memory) be written when I install?
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> hey jim this is what i want:)))
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> thank you very much
[08:37] <JIM> its ok
[08:37] <zhllg> freetype in ubuntu enabled bytecode interpreter?
[08:37] <palermi> hi i need to know how (via script) include icons in the menu
[08:39] <JIM> Glad i could help IRCMonkeyx.just remember to help other people if they needed to ask some help about ubuntu... oh and btw, you can always ask google to help you with your problems before going to irc channels... Have fun!
[08:39] <robokop> hello guys
[08:39] <robokop> is there a way such that i can view a log with continous updates
[08:39] <IRCMonkeyx> jim, when i learn ubuntu, of course i will help, humanity to others:)
[08:40] <palermi> hi i need to know how (via script) include icons in the menu (aplication->games)
[08:40] <orbin> robokop: tail -f
[08:40] <orbin> iirc
[08:40] <JIM> glad to hear that... just frequent this channel and tell other people to come here if they needed to ask some questions/advice/tips
[08:40] <orbin> palermi: why via script?
[08:41] <robokop> orbin: thanks for the help
[08:41] <palermi> orbin: eg: install-cube.sh -i want include the icon in the menu
[08:42] <palermi> orbi: i want using the scritp install.sh include the icons from cube in the menu (aplication->game), how i doing this?
[08:42] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me? I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on a Pentium II Dell box with 128 megs of ram. I'm using the alternate install CD.
[08:42] <Cronos1388> My problem is that when I get to the hardware check part it can't mount the CD drive
[08:44] <delmar> I'm having a problem with an older system...It installs fine (Dapper 606 Alt CD, selected Server). It has two little 4.6g SCSI disks Raid Mirrored on an Adaptec 2110S Raid controler. As I say, it installs just fine.  When It's done and reboots, it boots kernel 2.6.15-23-386 but a short way after, I see error messages like "iop0: Device already claimed"  and "iop0:  DMA / IO allocation for I20 controler failed"  a while later it doe
[08:44] <delmar> s.. "ALERT! /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" .. which it does.     It would seem Dapper doesn't like the adaptec 2110S?  Anyone know the answer?
[08:45] <orbin> palermi: my guess is you need to find out where the menu launchers are kept and put the new one in there
[08:45] <salah> is there any possibility to resize the virtual screen size? The screen resolution is at 1600x1200, but still icons, window title, file menus etc is to big
[08:45] <amonkey> when i click on applications, places or system, the menu at first pops up compacted with a scroll button at the top and bottom. a subsequent click on the menu makes it show the full menu. how can i get it to never compact the menus?
[08:45] <palermi> orbin: yes i guess in ~/.gnome/apps/ but not work
[08:46] <JIM> maybe your monitor just doesn't suppor the 1600X1200 resolution salah
[08:46] <JIM> Ubuntu automatically adjusts itseld to the maximum resolution that your display could support
[08:47] <salah> JIM, sure it does, it works fine, but I can give you a screenshot to show you how
[08:47] <JIM> Ubuntu automatically adjusts itself to the maximum resolution that your display could support
[08:47] <JIM> i dont know if file transferring is allowed here
[08:47] <JIM> :P
[08:47] <bulltitan> hey
[08:47] <bulltitan> is there a way to extract a .pkg file in ubuntu?
[08:47] <JIM> ofcourse there is
[08:48] <gore_> how would I open a bin file in ubuntu?
[08:48] <bulltitan> dpkg?
[08:48] <bulltitan> gdebi
[08:48] <JIM> yup
[08:48] <bulltitan> ?
[08:48] <JIM> dpkg
[08:48] <bulltitan> :D
[08:48] <sn00p> Does anybody know that if there are any linux drivers for an asus wireless adatper wl-1607 one I d/'ed from asus.com doesn't seem to be working?
[08:48] <orbin> salah: imageshack.us
[08:49] <sn00p> for ubuntu
[08:49] <JIM> man dpkg
[08:49] <Terminus> gore_: depends on what the bin file represents. try typing "file foo.bin" to have ubuntu guess what it is.
[08:49] <bulltitan> great
[08:49] <salah> orbin, yes sure, :-)
[08:49] <Cronos1388> Can anyone help me?
[08:50] <JIM> what is it cronos?
[08:50] <gore_> Terminus: you mean just running it from nautilus?
[08:50] <xnull-> how can I remove some services? like cups/etc...
[08:50] <xnull-> ?
[08:50] <Terminus> gore_: nope. from a terminal.
[08:50] <Cronos1388> Well I'm trying to install to a Dell machine
[08:50] <Edgan> Anyone know what program/config in Dapper enables the eject button, onscreen display, volume control etc for a Mac?
[08:50] <Cronos1388> Pentium II 128 ram
[08:50] <salah> JIM, orbin: http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot441vp.png
[08:50] <orbin> palermi: /usr/share/menu
[08:50] <Cronos1388> And when I get to the part where it detects hardware it can't find my CD Rom drive
[08:50] <orbin> palermi: open up one of the existing files to look at the synta
[08:51] <orbin> *syntax
[08:51] <salah> you see the icons below the File menu? I want for example them to be smaller, and also the icons in all other programs, and also the window title
[08:51] <gore_> Terminus, it just tells me its a data file
[08:51] <Terminus> gore_: it doesn't say Bourne shell script text executable or anything? is it a cd image?
[08:51] <gore_> Terminus, its actually just an iso, in windows I'd extract it using isobuster but is there a linux equivalent to that?
[08:51] <Terminus> gore_: oh... you need to use binchunker for that
[08:51] <Terminus> !info bchunk
[08:52] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[08:52] <orbin> salah: you said this is a virtual res. right?
[08:52] <gore_> thank you sir
[08:52] <palermi> orb: thank
[08:52] <IamEthos> does Ubuntu not come with dhcpcd?
[08:52] <palermi> orbin: thank
[08:52] <orbin> palermi: yw
[08:52] <JIM> salah, i think you cant change that
[08:52] <Terminus> gore_: you're welcome. using bchunk is beyond what i know so you're gonna have to read the docs or ask somebody who uses it.
[08:53] <JIM> bye guys
[08:53] <JIM> :P
[08:53] <salah> orbin, I really don't know what the virt. res. is, my screen is supporting up to 2048x<something>, but me gfx. card supports 1600x1200 (which this is at now). my screen is a 19", so the icons is very big here, how do I make them smaller?
[08:53] <salah> bye JIM
[08:53] <salah> thanks for trying
[08:53] <orbin> salah: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:53] <JIM> salah, its the size for openoffice.org icon
[08:54] <sn00p> I have an asus wireless usb adaptor, (dongle) how do I get it to work with ubuntu?
[08:54] <bulltitan> i can't open the file is not debian file so i guess that dpkg is not it
[08:54] <JIM> bye everyone
[08:54] <bulltitan> bye jim
[08:54] <mada> j0
[08:55] <salah> orbin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17316
[08:56] <bulltitan> today was a baaaad day no luck with vmware, i can't open this pkg file and i can't watch dvds
[08:56] <bulltitan> but i still like ubuntu
[08:57] <mada> good to know :)
[08:57] <bulltitan> seems to be that for dvds the css lib is working but not the codec i dont get it
[08:58] <mada> thats strange, i can watch dvds on my box
[08:58] <bulltitan> and i have al win32 codecs, xinelib, extracodecs, etc plus mplayer
[08:58] <orbin> salah: sys > prefs > screen res.  ... does it say you're in 1600?
[08:59] <salah> yes
[08:59] <mada> bulltitan: strange ....
[08:59] <salah> orbin, it's nothing wrong with the screen resolution, I just want everything smaller
[08:59] <silentread> so u wanna change the dpi?
[08:59] <bulltitan> i know, and i did the restricted formats way, and also a bunch of other ways to get it ti work with no + result
[09:01] <sn00p> How do I fix this make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:01] <sn00p> ?
[09:01] <mada> bulltitan: i sadly have no suggestions ...
[09:01] <orbin> salah: i just loaded OO.  they're massive on my screen too
[09:01] <bulltitan> there's only one last chance that i'm looking at,.. the dvd it's a gift from my brother and it's a copy could that be it?
[09:01] <bulltitan> a bad copy?
[09:01] <mada> bulltitan: possible, you have another dvd to try?
[09:02] <bulltitan> not like a movie just a game
[09:02] <salah> orbin, so, no idea how to fix this?
[09:02] <bulltitan> but i'll try to rent one tomorrow
[09:02] <orbin> i know how to shrink other stuff e.g. titlebars, panels etc
[09:02] <mada> bulltitan: yeah, give that shot because most issues i know of just revolve around having the right plugins installed but it sounds like you have all your bases covered
[09:03] <orbin> but i think there should be a setting for small toolbar icons in OO.  i'm looking now
[09:03] <orge> is there an app that records desktop, like, demonstrating something like how Novell demonstrated XGL, you know what im saying?
[09:03] <bulltitan> thanks for the tips mada
[09:04] <amonkey> how can i figure out why gnome crashes when i run gnome-window-decorator?
[09:04] <orbin> salah: looks like maybe it enforces 26x26 icons
[09:05] <sn00p> How do I fix this make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.?
[09:06] <LMJ_work> hello the chan
[09:06] <gore_> is there a way to find out what codec is need to play a certain video file?
[09:06] <gore_> needed*
[09:06] <bulltitan> well in windows was gspot
[09:06] <orbin> salah: do you have the same issue w/ other apps too?
[09:06] <Hobbsee> sn00p: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules?
[09:06] <mada> bulltitan: no prob (sorry, i was afk)
[09:06] <bulltitan> i dunno in ubuntu
[09:07] <bulltitan> no problem
[09:07] <mada> hiya LMJ_work
[09:07] <bjron> hmm, so when I run 'grub-install' it probably should not take more than a couple seconds right?
[09:07] <salah> orbin, yes, the text everywhere is to big
[09:07] <jron_> I installed gftp off the livecd and got my HD ready to write my ISO to, however, gftp wont run as root... how can i add the ability to access my newly mounted hd for the guest user?
[09:07] <mada> sn00p: i really don't know ... have you tried pasting the error into a google search? you get alot of good forum how-tos that way
[09:07] <orbin> salah: that can be changed via sys > prefs > font
[09:07] <mada> bjron: how long it been running?
[09:08] <bjron> mada, a good couple minutes anyway, but it just finally finished, so probably nevermind :P
[09:08] <mada> bjron: :)
[09:08] <bjron> still, no warning that it might take a long time :(
[09:08] <bjron> oh well, hope it worked. . .
[09:08] <LMJ_work> how i can know what package contain the command (binary) "setenv" ?
[09:08] <gore_> linux needs to fix its multimedia issues =[
[09:08] <orbin> salah: that'll shrink most buttons too
[09:09] <mada> bjron: probably did ... it would have given an error if something went wrong (normally)
[09:09] <mada> LMJ_work: google?
[09:09] <bjron> yea, time to test.
[09:09] <LMJ_work> i'm googleling
[09:09] <sn00p> Hobbsee there is no package
[09:09] <mada> LMJ_work: :)
[09:09] <ALDI> Hi, how do I make a ftp user to access all directorys (777)?
[09:09] <bulltitan> to be honest compared to windows i was able to install ubuntu and hear some sounds wich win was like a mute under water in it
[09:09] <Hobbsee> sn00p: hmmm.
[09:10] !lilo:*! small regional server being shutdown for a hardware change-out
[09:10] !lilo:*! affected users, a bit over 200
[09:10] <sn00p> Hobbsee, i found them
[09:10] <Hobbsee> sn00p: :)
[09:10] <bulltitan> ubuntu has a lot of media related issues but a lot of em are related to license as far as i know
[09:11] <sn00p> there was one specifically for 2.6.15
[09:11] <salah> orbin, I see, things are starting to work some greater, but im spending 12 hours of my day at school, so I am using openoffice a lot. But the icons at OpenOffice is to big
[09:11] <LMJ_work> is there any command to find the package contain the command (binary) "setenv" ?
[09:11] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: apt-cache show setenv
[09:11] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: look where it says source: blah
[09:12] <sn00p> Hobbsee, I still get that error
[09:13] <Edgan> anyone know where I can download a dapper live cd with the latest updates included?
[09:13] <DBO> Edgan, afaik you cant
[09:13] <bulltitan> i still dont understand why kubuntu has a hole suite for media playing and ubuntu only has totem wich i think it stinks why not mplayer by default
[09:13] <LMJ_work> i can't find it Hobbsee
[09:13] <Edgan> DBO: why?
[09:13] <DBO> bulltitan, there is a limited amount of space on the CD really
[09:13] <snoops> I have to admit it does suck when you install dapper fresh and 90meg of updates shows up
[09:14] <DBO> Edgan, because... there isnt one?
[09:14] <bulltitan> i see
[09:14] <Edgan> DBO: I found instructions of how to do it, but hoped someone had
[09:14] <DBO> Edgan, there may be unofficial ones, but nothing official
[09:14] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: does it have anything to do with epic4?
[09:14] <Edgan> DBO: I am fine with unofficial
[09:15] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=setenv&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=dapper&arch=i386
[09:15] <jacky> who is developing the new init system?
[09:15] <ALDI> I have a ftp user on my vsftp server. But he only has access to his home dir. what do i need to change that he has access to the whole filesystem?
[09:15] <snoops> if I would use ubuntu on a network setup.. eg 10 or so computers running it, can I setup a central server to grab the updates off locally? That way only one machine needs to get the updates?
[09:15] <Anony> Did I post my laptop sound problem in the wrong part of this forum? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1219301#post1219301
[09:16] <DBO> ALDI, why would you want to do that?
[09:16] <Terminus> snoops: sure you can.
[09:16] <ALDI> DBO: for testing and easier managing the ubuntu machine
[09:16] <LMJ_work> thanks Hobbsee
[09:17] <Terminus> snoops: i can think of lots of ways to do it. rsync, your own repos, etc.
[09:17] <jron_> can anyone fill me in on why gftp wont launch as root? it just says: Error: Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin.... however, it runs fine as a non root user.
[09:17] <DBO> ALDI, you might want to look into SSH and SFTP for that... its going to be a lot more secure
[09:17] <bulltitan> see u later
[09:17] <bulltitan> bytes
[09:17] <mada> jron_: run as sudo in regular user
[09:18] <ALDI> DBO: ok, then how do i add a special dir, like /var/www ?
[09:18] <jron_> mada, i did, then i try and launch gftp after sudoing and it gives that error
[09:18] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:18] <DBO> ALDI, in ssh just do "sudo mkdir /var/www"
[09:18] <mada> jron_: oh, hrmmm...
[09:18] <DBO> ALDI, ssh is just like having a terminal open locally on the machine, only its over the network
[09:18] <LMJ_work> damned Hobbsee, i installed both, the command is still not available :-/
[09:18] <DBO> thats exactly what it was designed to do
[09:18] <jron_> i really need gftp to be able to write to a newly mounted drive under this livecd so i can get this iso downloaded...
[09:18] <ALDI> dbo: the directory already exists, just want it to be editable for the ftp user
[09:19] <jron_> but it is giving me this issue =(
[09:19] <ALDI> dbo: ssh works fine :-)
[09:19] <Hobbsee> LMJ_work: hmmm...i'm not sure
[09:19] <xxyyzz> I don't mind re-formatting the USB stick... if that helps...
[09:19] <xxyyzz> But I don't know how on Xubuntu.
[09:19] <xxyyzz> And I don't know if that will help.
[09:19] <xxyyzz> And I don't know what pmount is...
[09:19] <DBO> ALDI, then you would need to chown it to the user you want to have access rights to it.  Even if you give them access from the FTP server, if the file system doesnt have the proper permissions it wont work
[09:20] <DBO> ALDI, but in general /var/www should be owned by root...
[09:20] <HackerX> Are there any good war driving channels?
[09:20] <whitehorseNtiger> Does "apt-get install ssh" do everything I need it to?
[09:20] <jumbers> Hi, my name is Soup
[09:20] <DBO> HackerX, not here
[09:20] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, Annoyingly YES
[09:20] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, it even starts SSH unlike most other programs
[09:20] <jumbers> ANONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3
[09:20] <Anony> And ssh does not tell you this when you run it
[09:20] <Anony> Hi jumbers
[09:20] <ALDI> DBO: Ok, is there a way to login via FTP as root?
[09:20] <HackerX> Well i know that. thats why i asked for one
[09:21] <jumbers> wheeeee I <3 Anony
[09:21] <sn00p> Which package contains build ?\
[09:21] <bbrazil> ALDI: don't use ftp as root
[09:21] <Anony> jumbers you are not a soup.
[09:21] <DBO> ALDI, no
[09:21] <Anony> Also <3 jumbers
[09:21] <jumbers> orly
[09:21] <DBO> ALDI, most servers will specificaly prohibit that
[09:21] <Anony> jumbers, Not unless soup is bi-polar.
[09:21] <Terminus> sn00p: you mean the compiler and stuff? build-essential
[09:21] <jumbers> jumbers is a good guy
[09:21] <bbrazil> ALDI: if you must do file manipulation as root, use scp or sftp or rsync to keep everything erncrypted
[09:21] <jumbers> he's like soup
[09:22] <Anony> jumbers, you have some sort of ubuntu problem?
[09:22] <sn00p> Terminus, yea, i'm trying to compile something and build-essential is installed I get this error.  /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:22] <Anony> jumbers, I am helping with the really small stuff while I wait and pray for help with my sound card.
[09:22] <cbx33> Hi all
[09:22] <Terminus> sn00p: what are you trying to build?
[09:22] <whitehorseNtiger> Does Linux have any programs that "take over control of the desktop" through ssh like some for-profit windows computers do?  Can anyone direct me to one?
[09:22] <xnull-> !mplayer
[09:22] <ubotu> No fonts in mplayer? Install mplayer fonts. Codecs: see !codecs
[09:22] <xnull-> ?
[09:22] <ALDI> I will try that later thanx! Right now I just want to grant the ftp user "web1" the full rights on /var/www How do I do that?
[09:22] <sn00p> Terminus, some drivers for my ASUS wireless usb adaptor
[09:22] <HackerX> Anyone here ever used Metasploit?
[09:22] <cbx33> Need some help, hoping someone can advise, admitidly there is some part fedora business going on here
[09:22] <xnull-> !codecs
[09:23] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:23] <jumbers> My sound sucked really bad on 5.10
[09:23] <cbx33> suffice to say I had an LVM partition that was setup working fine
[09:23] <Anony> whitehorseNtiger, you can use remote desktop to control a windows machine
[09:23] <Terminus> sn00p: i suppose you already have kernel-headers installed?
[09:23] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, you mean like remote desktop?
[09:23] <jumbers> 6.06 made it all better :)
[09:23] <cbx33> I used ubuntu to edit the partitions
[09:23] <sn00p> Terminus, dunno how do I check
[09:23] <whitehorseNtiger> ok
[09:23] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:23] <mada> whitehorseNtiger: you can X forward over a ssh connection
[09:23] <Anony> jumbers, I am running 6.06, unfortunately this soundcard is not officially supported
[09:23] <cbx33> now lvm fedora complains it cannot find the uuids
[09:23] <xxyyzz> Do ubuntu/xubuntu come with support for USB sticks? Or do I have to install something extra?
[09:23] <cbx33> any ideas?
[09:23] <jumbers> That sucks :(
[09:23] <Anony> jumbers, I made a rather lengthy and dry thread about it here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=210038
[09:23] <Terminus> sn00p: sorry, linux-headers i mean. you'll need those when building modules. dpkg -l|grep linux-headers to check.
[09:24] <DBO> whitehorseNtiger, you can also use freenx with linux which is very snappy for remote desktop, much faster than vnc
[09:24] <jumbers> Lengthy isn't my cup of tea :-/
[09:24] <Anony> hehe
[09:24] <konfuzed> ok how do I check the cpu make model and speed?   the device manger does not show that info
[09:24] <sn00p> Terminus, nope which headers do I need?
[09:24] <webmind> good morning
[09:24] <Terminus> sn00p: the one that matches your kernel version.
[09:24] <DBO> konfuzed, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:24] <ALDI> bbrazil: I will try that later thanx! Right now I just want to grant the ftp user "web1" the full rights on /var/www How do I do that?
[09:24] <webmind> Ihow can I set the globa
[09:24] <Terminus> sn00p: since i've never tried compiling drivers for your hardware though, i'm just guessing here.
[09:24] <webmind> err
[09:25] <webmind> I've got two questions:
[09:25] <Anony> jumbers, You a linux guy?
[09:25] <bbrazil> ALDI: easiest way is to create a real user web1, and give them permissions
[09:25] <jumbers> Si senor
[09:25] <Anony> Cool
[09:25] <webmind> how can I set the global keyboard settings (so they are right in gdm aswell) and is there a way to make my own keyboard layout ?
[09:25] <bbrazil> ALDI: my knowledge of virtual users is lacking
[09:25] <jumbers> Anony: I only have winbloes on my gaming computer
[09:25] <sn00p> Terminus, i'm trying it
[09:26] <Anony> jumbers, I am trying to become better with linux, although I doubt I will ever know as much about linux as I do about windows.

[09:26] <Anony> jumbers, lol
[09:26] <jumbers> mada: Not everything works on cedega
[09:26] <mada> jumbers: true ...
[09:26] <jumbers> mada: I need EQ2 to work
[09:26] <mada> konfuzed: i have that proc ... Venice core right?
[09:26] <Terminus> mada: the whole point2play thing seems kinda messy. :(
[09:26] <mada> jumbers: fair enough
[09:26] <mada> Terminus: never used it, just know of it
[09:27] <mada> i don't game ... i code
[09:27] <jumbers> mada: I really would LOVE to get fully Linux, but it's not practical for games :(
[09:27] <Terminus> mada: i cancelled my subscription. my computer can't handle new games anyway.
[09:27] <snoops> or flash web developers or photoshop people jumbers :(
[09:27] <Zdra> can someone suggest me a good program to create webpage, please ? (no not vim/emacs and other text editor) :-)
[09:27] <jumbers> Photoshop can be replaced with GIMP
[09:27] <Anony> I am still amazed at how fast Ubuntu runs on my p2 366mhz
[09:27] <mada> jumbers: i don't game so it was really easy for me to go all linux, been onlinux only for about 6 years (was on debian for 5 of them and just went ubuntu a month ago)
[09:27] <Terminus> jumbers: all of the games from ID run on linux. at least you have that. and ut2004 too. :)
[09:28] <jumbers> Terminus: Too bad I don't have those :(
[09:28] <Terminus> Zdra: bluefish? scite?

[09:28] <Terminus> jumbers: for free games, enemy territory and tremulous run natively.
[09:28] <snoops> jumbers gimp lacks a lot in the advanced features.. and well, it's hard to be the rebel against the industry when you rely on it to live
[09:28] <konfuzed> almost 4000 bogomips
[09:29] <jumbers> snoops: Dual boot only when you absolutely need to? :-/
[09:29] <hawkaloogie> Inkscape is awesome for an Illustrator/Freehand alternative
[09:29] <hunkyspunky1> how is the new ubuntu version comapred to the old 5.10?
[09:29] <mada> konfuzed: oh ... i built mine so i bought the proc off the net
[09:29] <Zdra> Terminus: Flannel: yes I'm looking for wysiwyg but it's not for me... thx for answers !
[09:29] <hawkaloogie> hunkyspunky1, awesome, but for a couple upgrade snags
[09:29] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, so far so good here - ndiswrapper aside...
[09:29] <mada> hunkyspunky1: sex, heaven, orgasmic .... do i really need to go on?
[09:29] <hunkyspunky1> i use to have 5.10
[09:29] <snoops> jumbers not practical.. Oh well I'm hoping that'll change with time
[09:29] <delmar> I'm having a problem with an older system...It installs fine (Dapper 606 Alt CD, selected Server). It has two little 4.6g SCSI disks Raid Mirrored on an Adaptec 2110S Raid controler. As I say, it installs just fine.  When It's done and reboots, it boots kernel 2.6.15-23-386 but a short way after, I see error messages like "iop0: Device already claimed"  and "iop0:  DMA / IO allocation for I20 controler failed"  a while later it doe
[09:29] <delmar> s.. "ALERT! /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" .. which it does.     It would seem Dapper doesn't like the adaptec 2110S?  Anyone know the answer?
[09:29] <Terminus> Zdra: if you're looking for the equivalent of dreamweaver, i don't think you'll find it.
[09:30] <konfuzed> mada, this one is supposed to be very over clockable but I dont have any need or use for that
[09:30] <Terminus> oh! nvu... forgot about that. heh
[09:30] <hunkyspunky1> is it any faster?
[09:30] <Zdra> Terminus: A windows user who want to switch to ubuntu ask me how he can replace frontpage
[09:30] <konfuzed> this box is basically a web browser and webmail
[09:30] <hawkaloogie> Zdra, kde has something. quanta? quark? i forget
[09:30] <mada> konfuzed: me either, i am a programmer in the making, not a gamer ... i have no need for overclocking
[09:30] <EricTheMidget> my next box is going to be an overclocked dual core 2.66 to 4.0
[09:30] <snoops> Zdra is this for template creation?
[09:30] <Anony> I want to set up a screensaver that scrolls the news like in the matrix.
[09:31] <mada> konfuzed: and i must say that is a very powerful web browser and mail checker you have
[09:31] <Anony> But first sound.
[09:31] <snoops> eg, get your website template going, then add the backend to it Zdra?
[09:31] <mada> Anony: then you should code one
[09:31] <Terminus> Zdra: looks like nvu is your best bet then.
[09:31] <HackerX> How do i execute and file?
[09:31] <konfuzed> Zdra, its better to shoot people who persist in using frontpage
[09:31] <mada> Anony: code one that takes in RSS feeds
[09:31] <rebelfallen> Is there a way to install ubuntu to a partition without using iso/cd ?
[09:31] <mada> konfuzed: amen
[09:31] <Zdra> it is for webpages like that: http://users.skynet.be/ptilougarou/ (oh my god)
[09:31] <konfuzed> with a water pistol of course
[09:31] <mada> rebelfallen: yup
[09:31] <konfuzed> filled with ink
[09:32] <hunkyspunky1> ericthemidgit..u can actually take it to 4.0 ghz?
[09:32] <mada> rebelfallen: you can install from hard drive off a data partition
[09:32] <rebelfallen> Im running fedora right now and want to make the switch.
[09:32] <Anony> mada, I have alot of dumb coding projects in line before the screensaver. First I need to learn to code more than simple C cli crap
[09:32] <snoops> Zdra doesn't really answer my question.. you can use this to build a website dynamically, but you still need to write the code, but at least you see instant results http://www.gregtaff.com/rendar2.html
[09:32] <whitehorseNtiger> Sorry for the delay.  I have a newborn to care for.  Thanks for the advise.
[09:32] <HackerX> How do i execute a file in the terminal?
[09:32] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, you can take it to 4.1 but im not trying to be greedy
[09:32] <hawkaloogie> Zdra, nVu seems to be a good one
[09:32] <hunkyspunky1> wow
[09:33] <Zdra> snoops: skynet.be doesn't have PHP so I assume it's static ;)
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, What file? is it a script you made?
[09:33] <mada> Anony: fair enough, you should learn c++, java and python ... those will set you up nicely for the real world
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> i got p4..but them couldn't go that fast
[09:33] <HackerX> yea
[09:33] <mada> Anony: "real world"*
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, chmod +x FILENAME
[09:33] <EricTheMidget> hunkyspunky1, liquid cooling
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> i'm getting a laptop though with dul core
[09:33] <konfuzed> mada, I deserved a semi hefty system for my personal use
[09:33] <Anony> HackerX, and then ./scriptname
[09:33] <hunkyspunky1> yah need alot cooling..lol but should be faster
[09:33] <EricTheMidget> liquid cooling - cannot be done with air
[09:33] <snoops> Zdra ah well I guess it's worth for you to have a quick gander at rendar2 then.. might speed up your development time at least
[09:34] <fractalworld> I downgraded from Edgy back to Dapper.  One little problem:  /lib/mount/init-functions.sh and /lib/init/vars.sh are being called and don't exist.  This seems to be an issue with sysvinit, which I've already reinstalled.  Any ideas?
[09:34] <mada> konfuzed: fair enough ... i just built this one with money i saved, i am a broke college student trying to make my way through
[09:34] <rebelfallen> mada: what if I have only one main partition? can it be installed while my current partition is in use?
[09:34] <hunkyspunky1> whats the best ubnut version?
[09:34] <konfuzed> never had one before and I started with some programing 25 years ago and previous two computers are 550Mhz a piece
[09:34] <fractalworld> hunkyspunky1, Dapper (6.06 LTS
[09:34] <mada> rebelfallen: oooo, good question ... i would google around the ubuntu forums for "dapper hard disk install" ... i haven't done a hard disk install in over a year
[09:35] <rebelfallen> thanks :)
[09:35] <mada> hunkyspunky1: dapper (6.06)
[09:35] <hunkyspunky1> is kubuntu, edubuntu, x ubuntu any good?
[09:35] <concept10> hunkyspunky1, you have to judge for yourself
[09:35] <fractalworld> hunkyspunky1, I sometimes like KDE, but it doesn't get as much love as Gnome Ubuntu.
[09:35] <Madpilot> hunkyspunky1, the only difference between them is the desktops/WMs
[09:36] <mada> hunkyspunky1: each is just as good as the next, just depends on how you want to interact with your desktop ... and edubuntu is mainly just ubuntu with educational software standard installed
[09:36] <paramed> hi all
[09:36] <mada> fractalworld: amen
[09:36] <concept10>  does decaf really have no caffiene?
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> ok
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> thanks
[09:36] <paramed> I am having problems installing a network printer which is connected to a Win XP pc in my office...
[09:36] <paramed> any ideas?
[09:36] <HackerX> Is there any simpler command to just run a script?
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> gotta go
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> later all
[09:36] <hunkyspunky1> good night
[09:36] <Zdra> thx to you all, I'm installing/testing those programs... I hop it will be enough to let him forget winXP :-)
[09:37] <Anony> HackerX, I dont think so. You have to set +x (execute) for it to be run at all, and ./scriptname is the shortest method I know of calling the script
[09:37] <paramed> can anyone help me with getting the printer working?
[09:37] <HackerX> ok
[09:37] <mada> paramed: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77516.html
[09:38] <HackerX> what about something like metasploit do i have to run it that way?
[09:38] <Guyver`> sup
[09:38] <mada> paramed: that might help
[09:38] <Guyver`> you tell me
[09:38] <DBO> Anony, if its a shell script he can run it by ". ./scriptname" and then he doesnt have to chmod it <-- HackerX
[09:38] <snoops> is there a list of supported scanners and printers for dapper?
[09:38] <paramed> thanks mada.. I'll check it out..
[09:38] <Anony> DBO, Cool
[09:38] <DBO> Anony, that will run it in the current shell though, so if the script does and exit 0, the shell will close
[09:38] <xnull-> how do i remove a package without the deps.? something like rpm -e --nodeps package
[09:38] <rebelfallen> Should I just run a liveCD install?
[09:38] <Anony> DBO Roger that
[09:39] <paramed> no help.. that is for a jet direct printer...
[09:39] <paramed> I have it shared on windows XP pc...
[09:39] <mada> rebelfallen: yes, its easier and the gui is nice to look at
[09:39] <rebelfallen> perfecto.
[09:40] <mada> paramed: sorry, wrong link .... this is the one i meant to send http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5383.html
[09:40] <HackerX> dbo, is there an easy way to call Metasploit i got it to work that way but i think theres a way to just call it
[09:40] <mada> i'm out ....
[09:40] <DBO> HackerX, just symlink it into /usr/bin, then you can just call it like any other program
[09:40] <Anony> Wrong clipboard.
[09:41] <HackerX> dbo, how do i go about doing that?
[09:41] <roberto> What's an easy GUI FTP client?
[09:41] <roberto> Like Filezilla...?
[09:41] <DBO> HackerX, sudo ls -s /path/to/metasploitmainfile /usr/bin/metasploit
[09:42] <someothernick> gftp
[09:43] <whitehorseNtiger> Ok.  Easy question.   Each time I open the update manager to fetch them X bombs out.
[09:45] <depi> hi all, do you recommend to you aptitude instead of apt-get? (I really like that it removes all dependencies when uninstalling, but are there any cons too?)
[09:45] <depi> *use
[09:46] <whitehorseNtiger> I am thinking of running linux on my pda.  Right now it is pocket pc with SSH client.
[09:46] <Ribs> zewo: yes
[09:46] <Ribs> I had that yesterday
[09:47] <zewo> Ribs: great I am not alone :D
[09:47] <Ribs> just right click the icon instead, and select "install updates" from the pop-up menu
[09:47] <Nao> I need to add a line to xorg.conf, how do I save it with the new line?
[09:47] <zewo> Ribs: am I right that I can work around it by right click ... snap! ok thanks confirmation
[09:47] <Terminus> depi: there doesn't seem to be any cons.
[09:47] <zewo> anybody logged a bug report of this behaviour?
[09:47] <depi> Teminus: so I should use aptitude without any problems?
[09:47] <KenSentMe|afk> Nao: open it with 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' , then you can save it
[09:48] <Nao> ok great, thanks
[09:48] <Terminus> depi: yeah... so far, i haven't had any problems with it.
[09:48] <whitehorseNtiger> Is there a way to resize my desktop to 320 X 280 hehehehehehehe
[09:48] <depi> Terminus: okay
[09:48] <Anony> There really isnt anything better than gftp?
[09:48] <depi> Terminus: thanks
[09:48] <whitehorseNtiger> Then it would be PDA size I think
[09:48] <KenSentMe|afk> !resolution > whitehorseNtiger
[09:48] <Terminus> depi: good luck. :)
[09:48] <jumbers> 320x240 you mean
[09:48] <Anony> gftp has the features of a win 3.1 ftp client I used to use called "FTP COMMANDER!"
[09:49] <alexbr> Hi all
[09:49] <KenSentMe> alexbr: hi
[09:49] <whitehorseNtiger> Sorry.  that small of a resolution is not an option.
[09:49] <whitehorseNtiger> yeah that jumpers
[09:50] <alexbr> can anybody tell me how to use a serial port with ubuntu linux?
[09:50] <alexbr> I have to communicate with a modem
[09:50] <IRCMonkeyx> hi again, "invalid file system for mount point" i get this error in installation
[09:50] <Ribs> zewo: I couldn't be bothered... It might be worth filing a bug report tho
[09:50] <zewo> heh ok. well thanks for the hand Ribs.

[09:52] <someothernick> nope
[09:53] <bane> whats up guys
[09:53] <IRCMonkeyx> i have no chance to install ubuntu today:(
[09:53] <alexbr> KenSentMe:  thanks
[09:53] <spades> IRCMonkeyx what are you doing that is showing that error?
[09:54] <IRCMonkeyx> spades i try to install ubuntu, by manual partioning
[09:54] <roberto> What's an easy to use GUI FTP client?
[09:54] <IRCMonkeyx> and the drive that i wanna install ubuntu is fat32, is it problem??
[09:55] <DBO> roberto, places -> connect to server...
[09:55] <spades> never tried on a fat32 so im not sure
[09:55] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, it wont install on FAT32, you will have to repartition it
[09:56] <whitehorseNtiger> Someone said I could forward X to an ssh client on another computer?  Is that right?
[09:56] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, should i make it ntfs? how will i repartition__?
[09:56] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, how can i make it ext3?
[09:56] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, ubuntu installer has a partitioner that will take care of that
[09:57] <whitehorseNtiger> Can two ubuntu users have different screen res sizes?
[09:58] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, i install from cd, ubuntu installer didnt do anything for that, should i start tool from spesific place??
[09:58] <xxyyzz> When I plug my USB stick into my computer which has Xubuntu, it comes up on the desktop fine. But when I double click on it, it says "unable to execute pmount" and won't let me open it. Is there a way to fix this?
[09:58] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, i use live cd for 6.0.6
[09:58] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, when you tell it which hard drive to install it on it will automagically set up the partitions
[09:59] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, ok i did it,
[09:59] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo,what did i do wrong?
[09:59] <DBO> what makes you think you did it wrong?
[10:00] <IRCMonkeyx> because i get that error ,when installation starts
[10:00] <OMGLAZERS> Does anyone know if it's possible to map my command key for a macintosh keyboard to something other than the command (like, ctrl, so it's actually useful in linux?)
[10:00] <IRCMonkeyx> shouldnt it be written ext3 instead of fat32?
[10:01] <IRCMonkeyx> changing to ntfs may solve my problem??
[10:01] <HackerX> How do i compile an install?
[10:01] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, im not really sure where you are going wrong... I mean its pretty easy to use (i use the text installer though)
[10:01] <DBO> perhaps someone else could better figure out where you are going wrong
[10:02] <pks> hello, why dpkg-reconfigure locales, does not show me list of locales to choose from?
[10:02] <IRCMonkeyx> i hope so
[10:02] <bane> yes ircmonkey, ntfs may solve your problem
[10:02] <DBO> uhhh....
[10:02] <crimsun> pks: because you're not supposed to do that anymore, as of Dapper. Use locale-gen.
[10:02] <IRCMonkeyx> ok bane i am changing into ntfs
[10:02] <pks> crimsun: oh
[10:02] <crimsun> pks: pass locale-gen a whitespace-delimited list of first-column locales from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
[10:03] <HackerX> How do i compile an install from the terminal?
[10:03] <IRCMonkeyx> but as i know, fat32 is better for ubuntu than ntfs, am i wrong?
[10:04] <IRCMonkeyx> noone got this error before?? "invalid file system for mount point"
[10:04] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, are you sure you are selecting the drive durring the installation process and letting it erase the contents of the drive?
[10:04] <pks> crimsun: ok, it seems to work
[10:04] <pks> crimsun: thanks
[10:05] <crimsun> pks: np
[10:05] <bane> fat32 doesnt allow permissions
[10:05] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo i only select manually partitioning
[10:06] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, dont
[10:07] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo i have win xp, i wanna use both
[10:07] <bane> chek this, im tired so i may be reading it wrong
[10:07] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, how many partitions do you have?
[10:07] <bane> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-37493.html
[10:07] <IRCMonkeyx> i have 5 partitions
[10:07] <bane> wow lol

[10:09] <ompaul> you can read but NEVER write

[10:09] <silentread> y do u want to read/write ntfs?
[10:09] <bane> hmmm
[10:09] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, if you could at  link , i am at the section 6/7
[10:09] <ompaul> silentread, I hope you are not asking me :-)
[10:10] <silentread> maybe
[10:10] <ompaul> bane, have you read that stuff about writing to ntfs
[10:10] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, I really dont know what to tell you... I mean... I dont think I can explain any clearer than the walkthrough does...
[10:10] <ompaul> silentread, I don't support windows in any format
[10:10] <Teejay_wp> when I start totem it says I have another video application running, but I do not
[10:10] <silentread> oh
[10:10] <silentread> not u
[10:10] <silentread> i meant who asked the question
[10:11] <Kilopopo> hey guys
[10:11] <silentread> like y he wanted too do so
[10:11] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, close off your web browsers
[10:11] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, thanx for your intererst
[10:11] <Teejay_wp> okay I have ompaul
[10:11] <ompaul> bane, you talking with me or silentread ?
[10:11] <DBO> IRCMonkeyx, im really sorry
[10:11] <IRCMonkeyx> yokmu yahuu bir tandkkk???
[10:11] <Kilopopo> why is it that when i leave a partition unmounted (cause its windows partition) ubuntu reports that it isnt mounted and wont let me go to the next stage of installation

[10:12] <Kilopopo> pls
[10:12] <Kilopopo> help
[10:12] <IRCMonkeyx> dbo, no problem, thanx
[10:12] <Kilopopo> why is it that when i leave a partition unmounted (cause its windows partition) ubuntu reports that it isnt mounted and wont let me go to the next stage of installation
[10:12] <ompaul> !enter
[10:12] <londondave> at last this ueagle-atm driver worked-thanks people
[10:12] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[10:12] <Teejay_wp> which I explained in here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d17320
[10:12] <IRCMonkeyx> milletttt
[10:13] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, what are you trying to watch?
[10:13] <Teejay_wp> a wmv movie
[10:13] <Teejay_wp> I am just starting up totem so I can view it
[10:13] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, close totem/mplayer or anything like that and try this right click on the file and see what happens
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> You'll then be presented with three options. This first option is ideal for users who want to set up a dual-boot (where you can choose whether you want to use Windows or Ubuntu each time you boot up your computer) but know very little about setting one up. Ubuntu will automatically shrink your Windows partition and create a new Ubuntu partition out of the free space.
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> if i choose that, do i lose my data???
[10:14] <Kilopopo> hi IRCMonkeyx
[10:14] <IRCMonkeyx> hi kilopopo
[10:14] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyx, no, however to make life easy defrag your windows partition first
[10:14] <Kilopopo> whats up dude
[10:14] <Teejay_wp> when I right clicked it it uses Xine
[10:15] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, and then it says that?
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> and xine loaded up okay, but I can view the files because it is encrypted
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> I can't
[10:15] <ompaul> ahhhh
[10:15] <ompaul> that would be a drm issue then
[10:15] <Teejay_wp> drm?
[10:15] <ompaul> !drm
[10:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about drm
[10:16] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, I take it you have seen at least one wmv on your machine?
[10:16] <ompaul> Teejay_wp, it has worked at some time in the past?
[10:16] <IRCMonkeyx> ompaul i will choose resize ide1master,but everyone says choose manuel partitioning, if you dont wanna lose your data
[10:16] <Kilopopo> hi dorel__
[10:16] <dorel__> hi
[10:16] <Teejay_wp> I only have just installed ubuntu, but I will try and watch a wmv file just wait
[10:16] <ompaul> !dualboot

[10:16] <Kilopopo> hi Healot
[10:17] <Kilopopo> hi seank_
[10:17] <Kilopopo> have anyone used xgl on ubuntu
[10:17] <ompaul> IRCMonkeyx, you can read that there as pointed by ubotu - it is the collective knowledge of the community - it works
[10:17] <Teejay_wp> the wmv movie I downloaded on xine worked fine
[10:17] <K^Holtz> i just installed flash player, but i still cant watch videos on break.com... any idea why?
[10:17] <ompaul> Kilopopo, the xgl channel is #ubuntu-xgl please talk about xgl there
[10:18] <Kilopopo> ok
[10:18] <Kilopopo> sorry ompaul
