[05:46] <dsmith> hi
[05:46] <DarkGhost> lol sup
[05:46] <kapput1> /q
[05:46] <DarkGhost> /r
[05:46] <dsmith> is desktop effect in fiesty essentially beryl?
[05:46] <LiberCogito> No.
[05:46] <LiberCogito> Compiz.
[05:46] <dsmith> oh ok
[05:47] <LiberCogito> PanzerMKZ: If you figure that out, lemme know?
[05:47] <dissection> These rippers doesn't say anything about the Xvid format.. I don't want mpg files
[05:47] <LiberCogito> dsmith: The Desktop effects are very, very basic compartively.
[05:47] <dsmith> I see that
[05:47] <Optimus55> can i test beryl in the livecd?
[05:47] <dissection> Toma-: It doesn't say anything about the XviD format
[05:47] <LiberCogito> Optimus55:  No, because you cannot install to the livecd.
[05:48] <PanzerMKZ> ok
[05:48] <crdlb> LiberCogito, yes you can
[05:48] <crdlb> Optimus55, what video card do you have?
[05:48] <LiberCogito> I stand gladly corrected.
[05:48] <LiberCogito> :-p
[05:48] <Optimus55> geforce, 6600 gt
[05:48] <crdlb> Optimus55, well then not easily at least
[05:48] <LiberCogito> crdlb: Multisession?
[05:48] <unagi> beryl is really buggy
[05:48] <crdlb> LiberCogito, no it would just be temporary
[05:48] <unagi> i dun like bugs.....they bite
[05:49] <unagi> is there a way to add 'sort by type' to the desktop menu?
[05:49] <dissection> I need a program to convert my DVDs to Xvid video files. Whats the best one to use?
[05:49] <crdlb> Optimus55, since you'd need to enable the nvidia restricted driver without rebooting
[05:49] <Optimus55> i see...
[05:49] <unagi> or a way to have it so that the icons line up on the right side?
[05:49] <Toma-> dissection: mpeg4 not good enough?
[05:49] <LiberCogito> unagi: It works fine for me, on two PCs.
[05:49] <Optimus55> tell i was told i could simply restart the xserver
[05:49] <Optimus55> ctrl alt backspace and... "booya!"
[05:49] <crdlb> yeah I haven't tried that though
[05:49] <dissection> Toma-: Emmmm I think XviD is better
[05:49] <unagi> youre one of the few LiberCogito
[05:50] <LiberCogito> unagi: Whats buggy about it for you?
[05:50] <Toma-> dissection: well good luck encoding it
[05:50] <unagi> beryl locked me up to where i couldnt even restart x server
[05:50] <dissection> Toma-: Why, aren't there any programs in linux to do it?
[05:50] <Optimus55> are there any stable releases?
[05:50] <LiberCogito> unagi:  The only thing I can't get to work is skydome on the older pc, but thats probably because it has an ancient video card.
[05:50] <Toma-> dissection: sure there are. just not as easy to use as k9copy
[05:50] <LiberCogito> Optimus55:  I believe Beryl is still in RC status.
[05:51] <Toma-> dissection: another fantastic ripper is 'winki the ripper' thatll encode to a better format
[05:51] <LiberCogito> Unagi: Did you try to switch user when that happened?
[05:51] <unagi> anything i tried wouldnt work
[05:51] <braddcadd> i broke dpkg, i installed a package that was broken or something
[05:52] <LiberCogito> unagi: Specs?
[05:52] <dissection> Toma-: Okay let me check it out
[05:52] <braddcadd> it is trying to re-install the package but it will never work due to a postinstall script
[05:52] <Toma-> dissection: have a look into the MKV format.
[05:52] <natedawg> hey all..
[05:53] <braddcadd> and dpkp --force-remove-instreq   doesn;t work either (due to same post install script)
[05:53] <FuM-Lapto> Help, My ubuntu wont load.
[05:53] <dissection> Toma-: MKV? Will that work in windows too?
[05:53] <n00b> more info would hlep
[05:53] <dissection> Toma-: I'm ripping my DVD for my friend who uses only windows
[05:53] <Toma-> dissection: sure will. its an open format. you might need to download the codec pack, but thats no big problem
[05:53] <FuM> When my ubuntu loads uo it says Kernal Panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init
[05:53] <dissection> Toma-: Ah okay
[05:54] <Optimus55> random: i wish i was a linux guru... i would make a lightweight distro that boots pc games using the cd only, just like a console
[05:54] <Toma-> dissection: MKV also supports dvd menus (apparently)
[05:54] <lukillas> hi everybody
[05:54] <lukillas> how can i play vcd disc in totem? it says i need a enhancement and i don't know how to install
[05:54] <dissection> Interesting
[05:55] <delfick> hello, does anyone know where i can find the standalone flash player 9 for linux?
[05:55] <FuM> Can anyone help me?
[05:55] <FuM> defick : Try Sudo apt-get flashplayer-nonfree
[05:55] <delfick> will do
[05:56] <Toma-> delfick: pretty sure there is no standalone for it yet
[05:56] <delfick> yep there is
[05:56] <delfick> i had it, then i reinstalled feisty, now i can't find it
[05:56] <delfick> :(
[05:56] <bashbang> there's a standalone @ adobe.com
[05:56] <FuM> Did it work delfick?
[05:56] <Toma-> ok
[05:56] <preaction> FuM: uhm.. kernel panic is bad. has anything changed recently? have you run memtest for a while?
[05:56] <FuM> I'm not sure if it was flashplay or flashplayer
[05:57] <FuM> preaction I changed the splash screen and no.
[05:57] <jupengfei> To install the standalone version, just try sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nofree  or  gflashplayer
[05:57] <natedawg> Hey guys I need help on loading the live cd of ubuntu?   It loads up every thing fine but then it goes into these checks and right when it hits loading hardware drivers it stops and starts scrolling all this nonsense..  ( I'm pretty much a noob on this)    any one think they can help?   sorry for kinda abruptly saying this
[05:57] <Optimus55> hey question: i just downloaded songbird in a tar.gz file. inside is just a folder called "songbird" how do i actually install the program?
[05:57] <preaction> FuM: were you able to boot with the new splash screen?
[05:57] <FuM> I just tried to right now and that came out.
[05:57] <delfick> hmm, i can't find anything about flashplayer except for a plugin version, not even gflashplayer
[05:57] <preaction> FuM: more importantly, did you change it back?
[05:57] <FuM> No I did not.
[05:58] <jupengfei> Optimus55: maybe you need complie and install it by yourself
[05:58] <preaction> FuM: you can boot a liveCD, mount your hard drive, and chroot to your harddrive to get a working version of your system (kinda). enough to fix the splash screen back
[05:58] <jupengfei> delfick: run syniptic and search for flashplayer  then you'll find
[05:59] <preaction> !universe | delfick
[05:59] <ubotu> delfick: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:59] <natedawg> hey any one can help me on my problem?
[05:59] <preaction> delfick: if i'm not mistaken, you'll need multiverse enabled to get flashplayer-nonfree
[05:59] <dissection> Toma-: For Winki the ripper, it says the download for debian is 300+ MB. Is it better to compile it from source?
[06:00] <Toma-> dissection: lol... 300mb... use the ubuntu repo
[06:00] <delfick> hmm, i thought i already had multiverse and universe, etc
[06:00] <dissection> Toma-: How?
[06:00] <natedawg> i just want to run ubuntu.. and that's all..  it should work but the live cd doesn't.. completely lost
[06:00] <Toma-> dissection: http://www.winki-the-ripper.de/openengine/cms/website.php?id=/de/index/download.htm#feisty
[06:00] <delfick> http://delfick.storage.googlepages.com/sources.list
[06:01] <delfick> that is my sources.list file
[06:01] <phreck_> hey
[06:01] <phreck_> my sources are all jacked up
[06:01] <phreck_> how can i regenerate my list
[06:01] <dissection> Toma-: I'm there already, but it says under warning that the download is 300MB
[06:01] <preaction> !easysource | phreck_
[06:01] <ubotu> phreck_: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:01] <phreck_> i get this error when i try to install libwnck-dev
[06:01] <Toma-> dissection: thats bizarre
[06:01] <dissection> WARNING: The installation of the debian package will trigger big download ( > 300 MB) and heavy computation. For the installed data bases you will need more than 600 MB in /usr/share.
[06:02] <Flannel> jupengfei: Lots of people
[06:02] <FuM> preaction : Can you help me with one more quick thing?
[06:02] <Optimus55>  jupengfei: i have no idea. however i doubt tho, cus i didnt download the source
[06:02] <preaction> !ask | FuM
[06:02] <natedawg> yeah..
[06:02] <ubotu> FuM: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:02] <FuM> =]
[06:02] <natedawg> ... lol
[06:03] <FuM> Ever since I dual booted Ubuntu, when I load up windows my usb keyboard and usb mouse refuse to work. I can't even login to the desktop because they don't work.
[06:03] <preaction> FuM: sounds like a windows problem
[06:03] <FuM> Arg
[06:03] <astro76> delfick, your sources.list is fine, afaik there is no standalone player just the plugin
[06:04] <preaction> jupengfei: feisty doesn't use beryl by default
[06:04] <dissection> Anyone here who has used winki the ripper?
[06:04] <jupengfei> preaction: I remember feisty comtained beryl by default.
[06:05] <natedawg> any one can help me out on just loading the live cd...  i just want this to work and i kinda just want to throw my comp now..
[06:05] <preaction> jupengfei: it doesn't, composite-by-default was pushed to gutsy, and i'm not sure that it's making it into there even
[06:05] <jupengfei> preaction: that's contained
[06:05] <stmiller> Hey has anyone installed Ubuntu on an Apple TV?
[06:05] <jupengfei> preaction, oh.... now i think i should try feisty
[06:07] <natedawg> any one plz?
[06:07] <natedawg> ima cry
[06:07] <delfick> ok then, on my old linux installation (haven't removed that partition yet) i have found this http://delfick.storage.googlepages.com/flashplayer but for some reason clicking anything doesn't work which i remember was a problem that was fixed by a different version of it ....but i can't find any version at all....
[06:07] <preaction> jupengfei: know, too, that ubuntu is not going to load something by default that doesn't support at least 90% of the systems out there. there's a fallback mechanism for cards that do not support compositing (there exists one in beryl already, so i assume compiz-fusion will have it)
[06:07] <Chikubu> natedawg, can't you get the live cd to boot?  did you change your BIOS settings to boot from CD?
[06:07] <natedawg> yes.. i mean I got all the simple stuff down
[06:07] <natedawg> it loads the screen and what not and has the splash screen to come up
[06:07] <jupengfei> preaction: haa...
[06:07] <Chikubu>   ok whats the hang up
[06:07] <delfick> and i can't find any flashplayer-nonfree when looking on packages.ubuntu.com
[06:07] <natedawg> but after that it goes into text
[06:07] <natedawg> and starts oking things
[06:08] <natedawg> it gets to like hardware drivers and stops and starts throwing all this text at me
[06:08] <Chikubu> which cd image are you booting with?
[06:08] <Chikubu> is it a server version?
[06:08] <natedawg> no
[06:08] <ShockValue> can someone tell me what the line is supposed to look like at: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_nVidia#Kubuntu
[06:08] <natedawg> just desktop edition
[06:09] <Chikubu> do you not get a desktop?
[06:09] <ShockValue> echo "deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main
[06:09] <natedawg> i don't even get to that part
[06:09] <natedawg> it just keeps scrolling text
[06:09] <natedawg> forever
[06:09] <ShockValue> the "auto-linking" feature screwed up the syntax
[06:09] <Chikubu> does it hang?
[06:09] <natedawg> yes
[06:09] <natedawg> it does
[06:09] <natedawg> it does one of two things
[06:09] <natedawg> hangs
[06:09] <natedawg> or throws text at me at an unreadable speed
[06:09] <natedawg> and starts counting up
[06:09] <astro76> !enter | natedawg
[06:09] <ubotu> natedawg: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:09] <Chikubu> how much main memory do you have
[06:09] <natedawg> gah sorry
[06:10] <natedawg> 1 gig ram, uh lots of open space, but i have two partitions
[06:10] <Chikubu> partitions arent a problem just checking that you have enough for setup to make a ramdisk and sounds like you have plenty
[06:10] <natedawg> both should have enough to support a full install of ubuntu in the first place
[06:10] <LiberCogito> Optimus55: Open the folder, and click on the little blue dimond icon that says songbird
[06:11] <Optimus55> yeh got it. now have to get gstreamer
[06:11] <Chikubu> when it hangs what is the last text message
[06:12] <natedawg> its just confusing the hell out of me... every thing should work, I tested the cd to see if maybe it was the cd but it came out ok.
[06:12] <natedawg> uh.. when it hangs it has some number or it hangs on i kinda remember it but it says like need to reboot or something
[06:12] <natedawg> id have to redo it and check the exact text
[06:12] <wizek> Have anyone has GRUB ERROR 21 so far?
[06:13] <edson> somebody knows an alternator of wallpapers?
[06:13] <wizek> Have anyone had GRUB ERROR 21 so far?
[06:13] <delfick> ahh, here we go, good old Trevino's repo http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/dapper/3v1n0/ flashplayer-nonfree can be found there :D
[06:13] <ant-> Have anyone had GRUB ERROR 21 so far?
[06:14] <dissection> Tomcat_: I got this error when I ran sudo apt-get update W: GPG error: http://www.winki-the-ripper.de feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 93694CB777FC3D4B
[06:14] <LiberCogito> Optimus55: Pretty!  Thanks for having issues with it, never would have known it existed. :-p
[06:14] <brunner> how much does support for ATI suck versus nvidia?
[06:14] <unagi> is it possible to flip the side the icons are on the desktop?
[06:14] <LiberCogito> brunner:  In terms of linux support?  Tons.
[06:15] <brunner> LiberCogito: yes
[06:15] <Jordan_U> unagi, What do you mean by flip?
[06:15] <brunner> which is worse, if NV isn't an option? Intel or ATI?
[06:15] <xtknight> Jordan_U, unagi: permanently right-align icons?  not sure..
[06:15] <ibetyouwill> hi
[06:16] <Chikubu> ok one sec im looking up something, been awhile since i used the cd
[06:16] <Jordan_U> unagi,  And out of curiosity how is the switch xorg.conf and start app script working?
[06:16] <brunner> which generally has better linux support? Intel or ATI?
[06:16] <xtknight> dissection: you need the encryption key for that repository that you added.  it's a third-party one.
[06:16] <Jordan_U> brunner, intel
[06:16] <CowoK_GokiL> hyyyyyyy
[06:16] <aubade> Anything tied in with ACPI other than CPU throttling and hibernation/suspend?
[06:16] <Jordan_U>  brunner Hands down no question
[06:16] <brunner> Jordan_U: Intel has better support?
[06:16] <xtknight> aubade: "tied in"?  what do you mean?  are you disabling acpi and wondering about the implications?
[06:16] <brunner> how much does Intel suck compared to NV in terms of linux support?
[06:17] <SlickMcRunfast> Is there a way to use .ogg for system sounds in gnome?
[06:17] <aubade> Yeah, xtknight.
[06:17] <LiberCogito> brunner: Buying a video card, eh?
[06:17] <brunner> LiberCogito: buying a laptop
[06:17] <xtknight> aubade: hmm.  power button config, perhaps some laptop keys, maybe some IRQ/device detection.  but generally it's not a big problem
[06:17] <ant-> brunner, my intel worked out of the box
[06:17] <Jordan_U> brunner, intel has provided open source drivers for almost all their products, ATI has provided sh*t drivers for all of their products
[06:18] <LiberCogito> brunner: I personally have an NVidia 7600 and it works wonderfully.  I've seen quite a few laptops with that card, too.
[06:18] <aubade> Goodie, so nothing dead essential.
[06:18] <unagi> Jordan_U:  i guess you didnt get my message lol........ur suggestion didnt work as sudo killall doesnt prompt for password but i decided to not run AWN during start up and wrote a script if xorgcompoff.conf is present then run awn......if xorgorig.conf is present then run maya.....works very well
[06:18] <dissection> xtknight: Okay it worked now. I had added the key before this but it hadn't worked, so I wasn't sure why the error was still showing up. I tried it again and it worked somehow.
[06:18] <unagi> thank you Jordan_U
[06:18] <LiberCogito> brunner: is there a particular company you're looking at buying a laptop from, or..?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> unagi, np
[06:19] <unagi> is there a way to sit the icons on the right of the desktop and/or add a 'sort by type' option in the menu?
[06:19] <dissection> I have a question. While in the middle of downloading something using apt-get, and I need to shut down the PC. Will there be any problems? Will it work fine after I re-run apt-get install once I start ubuntu again?
[06:19] <brunner> LiberCogito: I can't find a single laptop with a screen smaller than 15" with resolution greater than or equal to 1400x1050 that has NV video.
[06:19] <unagi> dissection: yes it will redownload itll be fine
[06:19] <Jordan_U> dissection, If you arejust downloading then yes
[06:19] <aubade> dissection: Should just resume, package integrity is tested before installed.
[06:20] <xtknight> dissection: if it's during an install it's not so good but you can usually rebuild the Debian database so that it works again... downloads resume from the cache or restart
[06:20] <unagi> anyone have problems with coming out of hibernation?
[06:20] <LiberCogito> Brunner: Give me a few minutes to look.
[06:20] <dissection> Okay
[06:20] <xtknight> unagi: lots of people i suspect, any specific problem?
[06:20] <superid_> is it possible to have something run automatically at startup if it has to be run with 'sudo'?
[06:20] <brunner> LiberCogito: dude, I'll have my girlfriend give you a blowjob if you can find one
[06:20] <dissection> Just making sure I won't have any problems cause its 50MB being downloaded
[06:20] <unagi> it comes to a blank screen with a cursor
[06:20] <brunner> just kidding.
[06:20] <LiberCogito> brunner: I'm female.  :-p
[06:20] <unagi> when coming out of it xtknight
[06:21] <Jordan_U>  brunner Find what?
[06:21] <brunner> LiberCogito: even better. I'll bet she's game if you are
[06:21] <xtknight> unagi: yeah, what happens when you come out of it?
[06:21] <brunner> LiberCogito: kidding...
[06:21] <unagi> xtknight: it comes to a black screen with a cursor
[06:21] <brunner> well, kind of
[06:21] <brunner> Jordan_U: laptop with a screen smaller than 15" with resolution greater than or equal to 1400x1050 that has NV video.
[06:21] <unagi> females that are into pcs especially linux = hot
[06:21] <xtknight> superid_: hmm..via rc init scripts perhaps.  or you could give the user permissions to whatever you need to sudo..
[06:22] <brunner> unagi: I had to settle for a Mac user =/ but I'm a Libertarian and so is she, so that counts for alot
[06:22] <xtknight> unagi: well i'm not sure..never had the trouble.  sorry
[06:22] <Jordan_U> brunner, Ron Paul 08 :)
[06:23] <unagi> does anyone have trouble cming out of hibernation?
[06:23] <brunner> Jordan_U: damn right =]
[06:23] <brunner> Jordan_U: my girlfriend has had dinner with Ron Paul, actually
[06:23] <brunner> and my boss is his best friend
[06:23] <ant-> superid, there are some walk throughs of getting firestarter to startup without having to type a pw
[06:23] <design> hello
[06:23] <design> can someone help me plz ?
[06:23] <brunner> design: ask a question
[06:23] <LiberCogito> brunner: My flash is broken, so I can't check http://xoticpc.com/ go check their site.  I'm checking hypersonic-pc.com now
[06:23] <duelboot> !ask
[06:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:24] <stmiller> design : just ask question
[06:24] <stmiller> :)
[06:24] <aubade> xtknight: If I disable ACPI/2 in the BIOS would I still have to pass an argument at boot and edit menu.lst?
[06:24] <superid_> xtknight, thanks
[06:25] <design> i got a Toshiba laptop satellite using ubuntu 7.0.4 and when i try to turn off, i can't i have to force it pressing the button
[06:25] <xtknight> aubade: actually, generally not, from my experience.  best thing to do is give it a try without passing acpi=off and see if it works.  are you disabling APIC or ACPI?  there's quite a difference actually
[06:25] <brunner> LiberCogito: you just might have something =D
[06:25] <superid_> I'm trying to run a dynamic DNS client at startup (no-ip), and I'm able to run it as a regular user now that I've chmod'ed the conf file to 777
[06:26] <stmiller> design: might be a setting in the BIOS to change power management
[06:26] <LiberCogito> brunner: Hypersonic is negative.  is 15.4 too large?
[06:26] <duelboot> Need assistance sharing files from my ubuntu box...have a freenas server that works, but need to format an external drive prior to hooking it up (vfat--will reformat to UFS)...anyway, my windows box can see and access the freenas server, but it can't see my ubuntu share...samba is installed...no luck...any help?
[06:26] <brunner> LiberCogito: so close =/
[06:26] <design> stmiller: what do u recommend to do ?
[06:26] <LiberCogito> brunner: http://www.emperorlinux.com/mfgr/lenovo/toucan/
[06:26] <brunner> I can't believe there's nothing out there
[06:26] <wizek> Have anyone had GRUB ERROR 21 so far? What can i do to it? Or how can i write a root-owned file from live cd?
[06:27] <stmiller> design: press del when booting (most likely) to get to the BIOS. Every computer is different. Poke around and try different power management options
[06:27] <LiberCogito> Brunner: Found one, but it's a lenovo tablet.
[06:27] <wizek> How can I write a root-owned file from Live CD?
[06:27] <aubade> xtknight: Just APCI, had to use that 'acpi=off' flag to get into the installer on more recent builds of Ubuntu.
[06:27] <LiberCogito> Brunner: http://www.emperorlinux.com/systems/small/raven/
[06:27] <xtknight> wizek: sorry, i don't understand your question
[06:27] <design> ok stmiller thx i will try
[06:28] <Jordan_U> brunner, I think that the new macbook pro's are at least 1440x900 @ 15''
[06:28] <Jordan_U> brunner, And they are Nvidia
[06:28] <duelboot> wizek, presumably you can mount your drive then edit the file via sudo
[06:28] <design> stmiller: i also got windows, with windows i can turn it off normally... nothing to do with ubuntu ?
[06:28] <xhaan> wizek, what do you mean by write? what exactly are you trying to do there
[06:29] <wizek> modify
[06:29] <brunner> LiberCogito: are you sure? I already looked at those
[06:29] <stmiller> design: oh I see. Hmm BIOS settings are probably okay then
[06:29] <xhaan> to modify it, use sudo before the command
[06:29] <brunner> Jordan_U: woah, really? I'll take a look. thanks!
[06:29] <design> stmiller: yes i think so... hum its weird my problem
[06:29] <CTho> Flannel: so, the wiki doesnt seem to mention unpacking the kernel source
[06:30] <stmiller> design: check this thread out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417047
[06:30] <design> stmiller: ok
[06:30] <wizek> i want to modify my boot/grub/menu.lst, because i just can't run linux... i can only access my pc by this Live Cd...
[06:30] <LiberCogito> Brunner: Nope, no nv.
[06:31] <Flannel> CTho: You use git to obtain the current kernel source
[06:31] <Jordan_U> brunner, Probably won't run well with Linux until at least Gutsy though
[06:31] <xhaan> wizek, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:31] <CTho> Flannel: i don' twant the current source, i want what shipped with eisty fawn
[06:31] <duelboot> Need assistance sharing files from my ubuntu box...my windows box can see and access my freenas server (so I don't think it's an issue with my windows box), but it can't see my ubuntu share...samba is installed on ubuntu...any help?
[06:31] <Jordan_U> CTho, packages.ubuntu.com
[06:31] <CTho> Flannel: i want to minimize how much i break, so i'd like to stick as close as possible to what i have righ now
[06:32] <CTho> Jordan_U: well, i installed the linux-source apcakage and in /usr/src it dropped a tarball
[06:32] <brunner> Jordan_U: what won't run Linux well?
[06:32] <Jordan_U> CTho, I didn't realize you already had Feisty running
[06:33] <Jordan_U> brunner, New macbook pro
[06:33] <CTho> Jordan_U: sorry for not explaining what i was doing... flannel helped me out many hours ago
[06:33] <CTho> Jordan_U: i'm running feisty and want to mess with cpufreq
[06:34] <brunner> Jordan_U: why wouldn't it run linux?
[06:34] <brunner> well*
[06:34] <brunner> it's just AMD64, right?
[06:35] <hmmm> can anybody point me to a RAD app similar to Visual Basic
[06:35] <Jordan_U> brunner, Because Apple tends to do strange / proprietary configs
[06:35] <brunner> hmm
[06:36] <wizek> xhaan, i don't think so it opened the good file... how can i open the good one? ^^
[06:36] <LiberCogito> brunner:  Okay, this is gonna be sorta convluted.
[06:36] <LiberCogito> brunner:  I found a specific model that appears to be less than 15, that can do that resolution.
[06:37] <LiberCogito> brunner: Acer TravelMate 4654LMi
[06:37] <LiberCogito> brunner: thats according to an OpenBSD listing of laptop compatiblities. http://www.openbsd.org/i386-laptop.html

[06:38] <unagi_> is it possible to have the desktop icons sit on the right
[06:38] <Jordan_U> brunner, Do you care about nvidia for the drivers or do you need to do serious 3D ( intel has better drivers and is more than enough for Compiz Fusion )
[06:39] <wizek> how can i open an exact file by his "sudo nano" command? O.o
[06:39] <Flannel> wizek: sudo nano /path/to/file
[06:40] <wizek> well it isn't ok... what sould be the 1st part of the "/path/to/file"?
[06:40] <LadyNikon> what Flannel said
[06:40] <wizek> disk?
[06:40] <stevey__> hi, does anyone know why steam keeps saying I have more than one open??
[06:40] <Flannel> wizek: No, the path.  What file are you editing?

[06:41] <unagi_> is it possible to add 'sort by type' to the desktop menu?
[06:41] <wizek> and it needs root access
[06:42] <Jordan_U> wizek, What is your Ubuntu partition mounted as?
[06:42] <Flannel> wizek: Ah, first you'd have to mount it somewhere.  But, you know you can make changes to the grub menu entries while at the grub menu, right?
[06:42] <fallenedict> i've been havining a problem running wine on Ubuntu 7.04, #winehq recommends asking here, everytime i run it i'm getting a total sytem freeze, any ideas ?

[06:46] <Jordan_U> machinarum, Here, but I recommend getting a better card ;)
[06:46] <unagi_> ive stumped the ubuntu forum =(
[06:46] <machinarum> :)
[06:46] <Jordan_U> machinarum, What problem are you having?
[06:46] <tucci> Can someone help me out with video codecs? I have kubuntu and I'm specifically needing help with realplayer and asf files
[06:46] <kablamo> Jordan_U: bummer, didn't help anything.
[06:47] <xp_prg> how do I remove a package again?
[06:47] <Comrade-Sergei> how can i transfer videos to a creative zen vision m
[06:47] <kablamo> Jordan_U: but at least i know the command now. thanks, mate
[06:47] <jupengfei> tucci: install win32codecs
[06:47] <Jordan_U> !synaptic > xp_prg
[06:47] <machinarum> Humm.... it is on Vista though.... outch!
[06:47] <Jordan_U> !apt-get > xp_prg
[06:48] <tucci> jupengfei: I did, and kaffeine can open realplayer files but with no sound, nothing can open asf files (I'd rather use vlc for everything)
[06:48] <lashmoove> got updated kernal, now no video with any video player, and all audio players crash on launch?
[06:48] <wizek> it is soo new to me... what sould me the first part? like in win cmd: "C:/boot/or/something/else" was enough.... why ius it much more harder in linux? if i only want to navigate my folders...
[06:48] <machinarum> After installing drivers from AMD. color faded...
[06:49] <machinarum> not as crisp
[06:49] <bullgard4> My computer has 40 files containing in their filenames the string 'hwmon'. Can one explain to me the concept of 'hwmon'? I found "hwmon.c - part of lm_sensors, Linux kernel modules for hardware monitoring." But I still do not understand what 'hwmon' is.
[06:49] <jupengfei> I havn't use kaffeine, you can try open kaffeine's preference option, and maybe you can select the output drive
[06:49] <Jordan_U> wizek, I think remembering actual names is easier than remembering letters
[06:49] <jupengfei> tucci: I havn't use kaffeine, you can try open kaffeine's preference option, and maybe you can select the output drive
[06:49] <tucci> jupengfei: how would I know which output drive to use?
[06:49] <unagi_> how do you unlink a file e.g. ln?
[06:49] <jupengfei> mplayer always usr x11/vo
[06:50] <jupengfei> tucci: mplayer always use x11/vo
[06:50] <machinarum> Jordan_u, I think I am in the wrong channel, thanks anyway...
[06:50] <jupengfei> i suggest you try mplayer-nogui  it's very simple
[06:50] <Comrade-Sergei> how can i transfer videos to a creative zen vision m
[06:50] <wizek> jordan_U: what do u mean? what would be here the driver or the start part of it, like "C:/" in windows??
[06:50] <jupengfei> tucci: and mplayer open files very fast
[06:50] <tucci> jupengfei: okay, looking, thanks
[06:51] <jupengfei> tucci: all right
[06:51] <Jordan_U> wizek, /media/whatevernameyouchosewhenyoumountedit
[06:51] <unagi_> anyone know how to unlink a file?
[06:52] <_Codeman_> is there anyway to change the color of the prompt in the console, or maybe a Konsole option or something?
[06:52] <cereal> unagi_: symbolic?
[06:52] <astro76> unagi_, unlink? as in remove a link made by ln?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> unagi_, rm the link
[06:52] <bruenig> is it a bad idea to not run syslog
[06:52] <cereal> what he ^ said
[06:52] <wizek> jordan_U: mount: "can't find /media in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" <--- what i do wrong?
[06:52] <xp_prg> Jordan_U: I get this message:  E: /var/cache/apt/archives/ardour_1%3a2.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/gtk_ardour.mo', which is also in package ardour-gtk
[06:52] <xp_prg> what should I do?
[06:52] <astro76> unlink is NOT the same as rm a link
[06:53] <wizek> jordan_U:
[06:53] <wizek> sudo mount /media/
[06:53] <wizek> mount: can't find /media in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:53] <Jordan_U> xp_prg, I don't use ardur but try removing ardur-gtk
[06:53] <bruenig> xp_prg, just delete that file

[06:54] <_Codeman_> Comrade-Sergei: What's your question?
[06:54] <Fezzler> bruenig: Got my Ubuntu PC going with YouTube.
[06:54] <Jordan_U> wizek, Do you want to mount it through the GUI or through the terminal?
[06:54] <bruenig> I have almost never looked a the logs, I don't guess that syslog really matters does it
[06:54] <Moridin333> Comrade-Sergei: I'm looking into it right now.
[06:54] <xp_prg> bruenig what file should I remove exactly?
[06:54] <Comrade-Sergei> Moridin333, thank you
[06:54] <Comrade-Sergei> _Codeman_, i need to sync videos to it
[06:55] <Jordan_U> bruenig, I don't know but it is possible that some programs will segfault if they try to write to it and it isn't there
[06:55] <Comrade-Sergei> _Codeman_, i can do audio with amarok
[06:55] <zedfloyd> how do i run wine on 64bit ubuntu fiesty fawn.?
[06:55] <aubade> Comrade-Sergei: Tried gnomad2?
[06:55] <bruenig> Jordan_U, hmmm, I sure hope not, I am trying to save some battery life and syslog keeps screwing with me
[06:56] <Comrade-Sergei> aubade, never heard of it
[06:56] <_Codeman_> Comrade-Sergei: Your doing better than I am... Amarok froze when I tried synching some mp3's to my player this morning >.<
[06:56] <Fezzler> It was a sound issue.  I had to run killall esd
[06:56] <Comrade-Sergei> aubade, doees it just sync videos?
[06:56] <Fezzler> Then reinstall aoss
[06:56] <Comrade-Sergei> _Codeman_, lol nice i had that happen so i wip[ed the config and it was good
[06:56] <_Codeman_> config?
[06:57] <aubade> Not sure, never had to use before.

[06:57] <xp_prg> I removed both files bruenig and still get this error:  E: /var/cache/apt/archives/ardour_1%3a2.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/gtk_ardour.mo', which is also in package ardour-gtk

[06:57] <xp_prg> please help me I beg of you
[06:57] <Frogzoo> zedfloyd: 32bit chroot is the only way
[06:58] <zedfloyd> im a newbie to ubuntu... can you tell me what chroot is?
[06:58] <Moridin333> comrade-sergei unfortunatly the forums are down right now but this site might help when they're back up https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+question/2950
[06:58] <Jordan_U> bruenig, If you want to be tricky about it you could try making a small in RAM file system and have syslog write to that
[06:58] <Akidi> Hi everyone!
[06:58] <Sx66gns> helloes
[06:59] <Frogzoo> zedfloyd: reinstall & run 32 bit
[06:59] <bruenig> xp_prg, oh it is probably looking into some cache
[06:59] <bruenig> xp_prg, some log I mean, not the actual disk
[06:59] <Moridin333> zedfloyd: if you have questions about a command just type "man <command>"  also a great bood is Linux in a nutshell
[06:59] <xp_prg> bruenig: but what do I do to fix it?
[06:59] <Seoke> Anyone think they can help me with getting a live CD working?
[06:59] <unagi> sorry lost inet.....wouldnt rm remove the files?
[06:59] <zedfloyd> thanks
[06:59] <Comrade-Sergei> _Codeman_, yea in the /home/<your name>/.kde/share/config and delete amarokkrc
[06:59] <WetWired> hey all, can anyone tell me why my ubuntu server 7.04 hangs on boot after "running local boot scripts"?
[06:59] <Moridin333> Seoke: what's the problem?
[07:00] <_Codeman_> Comrade-Sergei: Cool, I'm gonna try that
[07:00] <Seoke> Moridin333: I burned the .iso onto a CD with burnatonce and it didnt go onto the CD, the CD wont boot even know I went through boot menu and when I open it it says nothings on it... but it wont let me reburn on it
[07:00] <bruenig> xp_prg, don't know
[07:00] <xhaan> chroot changes the working root directory... dont use it unless you know what youre doing, changing the root will also change all the tools you have access to unless there are copies of them in the new root
[07:00] <Comrade-Sergei> _Codeman_, there is another one to delete too but i forget
[07:00] <Jordan_U> unagi, Files are only deleted when all of the hard links to it are gone, sort of like objects in languages with garbage collection
[07:00] <Moridin333> Seoke: is that a linux or a windows app?
[07:00] <zedfloyd> Moridin, dont mean to ask a dumb question but do i type this in the terminal?
[07:01] <Optimus55> hey for the guy that i was talking to earlier.. i got the window effects to work on live cd
[07:01] <Optimus55> restarting the xserver works, thanks
[07:01] <Seoke> Moridin333: Windows I'm running windows XP
[07:01] <unagi> im not sure i understand
[07:01] <Moridin333> zedfloyd: no question is dumb, yes type it in the terminal.  also to get a full screen terminal press alt F1, press alt F7 to go back to GUI
[07:01] <Optimus55> how do i go about getting beryl?
[07:01] <phreck> hey when i logout
[07:01] <unagi>  sudo ln -s firefox01_03.png gnome-stock-trash-full.png
[07:01] <unagi> how would i reverse that
[07:01] <phreck> it doent give me the login screen
[07:01] <phreck> just black
[07:02] <phreck> how might i fix this
[07:02] <phreck> actually
[07:02] <phreck> it freezes
[07:02] <phreck> cant access any tty
[07:02] <phreck> numlock wont even work
[07:02] <astro76> unagi, for symbolic links (ln -s) just rm the link, Jordan_U is referring to hard links (ln without -s)
[07:02] <unagi> so rm -s?
[07:02] <Seoke> Phreck: Use some curtousy please that could have all fit into one message
[07:02] <Moridin333> Seoke:  Hmmm, it sounds like either a problem with the cd, the image or the software.  I would reccomend to download it again and burn it using different software.  CDBurnerXPPro is a freeware app that I've used before
[07:02] <astro76> unagi, just rm
[07:02] <phreck> seoke: sorry
[07:03] <tucci> jupengfei: i installed mplayer-nogui but it still doesn't work
[07:03] <unagi> it said no such file or directory

[07:03] <wizek> Jordan_U, I give it up :/ i just cannot lead this to that location :( it is harder than i thought... Let's go, reinstall Vista! :
[07:03] <tucci> jupengfei: it put kmplayer in my menu, which looked like it was going to open the asf file, but didn't
[07:03] <unagi> why would u install vista
[07:03] <unagi> sigh
[07:03] <unagi> some people just dont get it
[07:03] <Seoke> Phreck: I had that problem on my laptop ubuntu didnt support the videocard >_< Couldnt use ubuntu on my laptop

[07:07] <klf> i know there must be a canned answer to this question....how does one install all the video codecs (quicktime, real, xvid, ffmpeg, etc...) for ubuntu feisty?
[07:07] <unagi> then i wouldnt recommend trying to fight with beryl....especially if you called what popped up after aptitude install 'gibberish'
[07:07] <wizek> so i only can use live cd
[07:07] <Optimus55> unagi: yes just came to this chan a couple days ago
[07:07] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i connect to a mtp device?
[07:07] <wizek> it says
[07:07] <bastidraZor> no, but i wouldn't doubt VLC would be able to without hunting up codecs
[07:08] <unagi> !codecs | klf

[07:08] <wizek> Grub loading error 21....
[07:08] <scrubba> can anyone help me???
[07:08] <klf> thanks, unagi
[07:08] <bastidraZor> i tend to avoid realplayer format
[07:08] <unagi> then i wouldnt recommend trying to fight with beryl....especially if you called what popped up after aptitude install 'gibberish' optimus55
[07:08] <tucci> bastidrazora: kay, thanks
[07:08] <Optimus55> still using live cd, need to test that stuff works b4 replacing doze. had some problems setting up an evdo card and still havent gotten firestarter
[07:08] <Comrade-Sergei> nvm i got it
[07:08] <Moridin333> design: Hmmm, no idea.  Is this your first install?
[07:08] <bastidraZor> tucci, good luck with VLC
[07:08] <wizek> unagi, ahh.... i have an erreor... Error 21 at startup
[07:08] <Jordan_U> wizek, run "gksudo gedit " then drag the file you want into the terminal, then hit return
[07:09] <scrubba> is there a wine equivalent program for 64 bit ubuntu?
[07:09] <design> Moridin333: yes ... im newbie, can i show u a link i found ? maybe u can teach me
[07:09] <Moridin333> design: sure.
[07:09] <Optimus55> unagi: lol i know what it was, sry if i called it gibberish.. jus i dont need to read all of it
[07:09] <Optimus55> basically says "install? yes or no"
[07:09] <unagi> you might
[07:09] <unagi> there might be an error
[07:09] <masterloki> !ask
[07:09] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:09] <Comrade-Sergei> aubade, wow this is made for another device but its working lol
[07:09] <Jordan_U> scrubba, No, but you can run 32 bit wine in 64 bit Ubuntu
[07:09] <unagi> and youll be fighting with beryl for hours to find out one of the debs errored out
[07:10] <Jordan_U> scrubba, But it is easier just to run 32bit Ubuntu if you are new
[07:10] <design>  Moridin333 here is the link http://fjml.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/problema-con-shutdown-en-kubuntu-feisty-fawn-704/ ... it's in spanish but what i just need its the commands
[07:10] <Moridin333> I didn't notice any preformance increade from 32 bit to 64bit
[07:10] <masterloki> !ask | Jordan_U
[07:10] <ubotu> Jordan_U: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:10] <scrubba> i was trying to install 32bit wine in 64 bit ubuntu and it wouldnt, it said its only for 32 bit ubuntu
[07:10] <brunner> dammit.. even Toshiba doesn't make the equivalent of my tablet with NV graphics now
[07:10] <Jordan_U> master_o1_master, I assume that wasn't to me :)
[07:10] <masterloki> sorry I was just testing
[07:10] <scrubba> and 32bit ubuntu wont even install i get a graphic error causeing X to not Load
[07:11] <Jordan_U> !msgthebot > masterloki
[07:11] <wizek> Jordan_U, lol, it worked :D 100000 thx :D
[07:11] <unagi> how big is the HD wizek
[07:11] <Jordan_U> wizek, np :)
[07:11] <rutilus> om
[07:11] <MSIGuy_> Holy shit, my laptop gets fucking warm.

[07:11] <ubotu> MSIGuy_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:11] <Moridin333> design: go to terminal (alt f1) and type in sudo reboot and see what it says.
[07:11] <scrubba> Jordan_U, do you know why in 64bit i get a graphic error causing X to not load but no problems in 64 bit??
[07:12] <phreck> lol
[07:12] <Jordan_U> scrubba, No, but I can try to get X started
[07:12] <MSIGuy_> Oops!  I'm sorry, I thought I was in another chan ...
[07:12] <MSIGuy_> :S
[07:12] <brunner> is anyone here running compiz with intel graphics?
[07:12] <MSIGuy_> My appologies.
[07:12] <gsevil> I do
[07:12] <Optimus55> just a question, does linux have the equivalent of xpthemes? customization kinda stuff?
[07:13] <wizek> unagi, well, the full hd is 120GB (IDE), but it partitioned.... 10GB to /, 4GB to Swas (or something like that) and /home is the rest...
[07:13] <brunner> gsevil: how well does it work?
[07:13] <gsevil> I have problem with gxine
[07:13] <gsevil> it crash with beryl
[07:13] <wizek> unagi, do u know what to do with Error 21?
[07:13] <Jordan_U> scrubba, press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and for the driver choose "vesa"
[07:13] <scrubba> ok thnx ill give it a shot
[07:14] <Jordan_U> scrubba, Then to start X again run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:14] <astro76> Optimus55, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[07:14] <wizek> unagi, do u know what to do with Error 21?
[07:14] <Moridin333> design: while I'm not familure with the exact options in the code, that looks like a good try, just make sure you backup the original files first.
[07:14] <gsevil> brunner, Desktop Effect is ok
[07:14] <gsevil> quite pretty
[07:14] <btsdev> for RAID, i should probably be using software if i only have an on-board controller, right?
[07:15] <Jordan_U> scrubba, That won't get you full resolution though, so once it is actually installed run System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager to get the drivers for your card
[07:15] <wizek> unagi, plese reply, i'm goin to restart my comp, to check it is works or not...
[07:15] <design> Moridin333: ok i tried that
[07:15] <scrubba> jordan_u, do you have aim or msn?
[07:15] <Jordan_U> scrubba, No
[07:15] <scrubba>  ; (
[07:15] <design> Moridin333: the laptop restarted
[07:16] <scrubba> i figured out how to install the actual drivers and change my resolution on 64 bit version
[07:16] <scrubba> just tryign to gt the 32 bit version uning
[07:16] <scrubba> runing
[07:16] <Optimus55> wow!
[07:16] <wizek> unagi, plese reply, i'm goin to restart my comp, to check it is works or not...
[07:16] <wizek> unagi, plese reply, :/
[07:16] <btsdev> Anyone here running a RAID array?
[07:16] <arooni> anyone know how to get the intel x3100 (965 chipset) working?
[07:16] <Optimus55> jeeez... i just ctrl alt f1 after i saw it post in this chan and i got stuck for a good while!
[07:16] <Moridin333> design:  that's a good sign.  honestly I was hoping for an error message.  try what the website said but backup the files first.
[07:17] <astro76> Optimus55, hehe did you find ctrl alt f7 then?
[07:17] <design> Moridin333: i can restart i saw a bug bios message
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Optimus55, Like the package gnome-art ?
[07:17] <Moridin333> design: ahh, that's good.  so no more problems now?
[07:17] <Optimus55> astro76: yeh. well i got scared but i heard music i had playing in the background still playing. so i pressed a buncha keys and alt an f keys, then got back
[07:18] <Optimus55> :)
[07:18] <design> Moridin333:  the problem is when i turn it off
[07:18] <Moridin333> optimus55, lol I'm sure we've all been there
[07:18] <design> Moridin333: want me to try turning it off ?
[07:18] <Optimus55> Jordan_U: lol
[07:19] <btsdev> I'm totally lost when it comes to RAID in linux.. can anyone help me with a question or two?
[07:19] <Moridin333> design:  oh, then do sudo shutdown and see if you can find an error message.
[07:19] <Optimus55> yeah i didnt want to have to restart the live cd..... that woulda been... meh, pants
[07:19] <design> yes.. i found an error message when ubuntu is starting
[07:19] <Moridin333> design:  do you remember what it was?
[07:20] <design> Moridin333: yes.. i found an error message when ubuntu is starting .... bug bios.... but the weird part is that i got windows too and i don't have that problem with windows...
[07:20] <scrubba> Jordan_U, GNOME display manager still fails
[07:20] <design> Moridin333: i can turn off windows normally... the problem is with ubuntu
[07:20] <design> Moridin333: so i think the bios isn't the problem
[07:21] <design> don't u think ?
[07:21] <Jordan_U> scrubba, You can either install fglrx from the liveCD or use the alternate install CD
[07:21] <Moridin333> design:  have you changed any bios options?
[07:22] <Moridin333> design:  I would open the bios and set it to default config.
[07:22] <Jordan_U> scrubba, Try "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" then reconfigure X again but this time choose fglrx
[07:23] <design> Moridin333:  ok... but if the bios were the problem, didn't i have to have the bug with windows too ?
[07:23] <Moridin333> design: you would think so, but it can't hurt to check.
[07:23] <design> Moridin333:  no no i know... i was just asking :)
[07:24] <design> Moridin333:  ok i will try and i come back... thx for ur time
[07:24] <Moridin333> design:  :)  np I'll probably be here.
[07:24] <Serlo> Whats the best way to check if you have a keylogger?
[07:25] <Moridin333> in windows or ubuntu?
[07:25] <Serlo> ubuntu
[07:25] <Moridin333> hardware or software?
[07:25] <Serlo> err
[07:25] <Serlo> not sure whats the difference
[07:26] <frawg> Hello guys.  I have a little problem reading from an ntfs 160gb hdd I have leftover from my old windows install.  It tells me it is mounted as a read-only drive.  How do i change it so that i can write to it as well?
[07:26] <Moridin333> a hardware keylogger plugs in between your keyboard and comp, software whould show up as a running process.  do you think you have a keylogger?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Serlo, A hardware key-logger is actually connected to the keyboard itself.
[07:27] <Moridin333> frawg: find out where it mounted and run sudo chmod 777 /<folder of drive>
[07:27] <btsdev> Raid question.... if i'm going to use mdadm for a software raid1 config, i should disable onboard hardware raid, right?
[07:27] <banlieue> quick question... in a .py file (python script), is there a command to halt everything behind the command, such as 'halt' or similar?
[07:27] <taylor> GOOPY
[07:27] <Serlo> how would you check for a software keylogger than?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> Serlo, What did you install that would give you a key-logger?
[07:28] <Serlo> nothing... just curious
[07:28] <banlieue> perhaps return?
[07:28] <bastidraZor> right.. pr0n
[07:28] <goofy> is it possible to bond 2 wireless connections
[07:29] <Moridin333> serlo: software should show in the running processes.  I can't think of any other way to check
[07:29] <Serlo> what would it show as?
[07:29] <Frogzoo> goofy: with pppoe, should be possible
[07:29] <Jordan_U> Serlo, Whatever the person that hacked into your computer decided to call it :)
[07:29] <Moridin333> it would depend on what the program is, google linux keylogger and see if any programs you find are running
[07:30] <bullgard4> My computer has 40 files containing in their filenames the string 'hwmon'. Can one explain to me the concept of 'hwmon'? I found "hwmon.c - part of lm_sensors, Linux kernel modules for hardware monitoring." But I still do not understand what 'hwmon' is.
[07:30] <frawg> Now i'm getting, "Sorry, couldn't change permissions" and it is showing "unknown" as owner
[07:30] <Optimus55> wow! i must say, beryl's effects.... niceee! :)

[07:31] <wizek> Are there anyone here who know anything about GRUB?

[07:32] <wizek> Grub Loading stage1.5.
[07:32] <wizek> GRUB loading, please wait...
[07:32] <wizek> Error 21
[07:32] <wizek> thats all what my pc writes...
[07:32] <wizek> when i boot from HD
[07:32] <Moridin333> wizek: when you try to load windows?
[07:32] <jcasimir> Hi all.  I've been struggling with an install for several hours.  GRUB is installed on the MBR and I can't get it to run correctly.  Is there a way, using the ubuntu boot CD, that I can say "First, blow away all partitions AND the mbr, then install however you want"?  Doing a standard installation (allowing Ubuntu to create the partitions and such) isn't doing anything to get rid of GRUB.  Help?
[07:33] <Ltar> my top bar has rearranged itself. it used to go (pull-down menus) (app launchers) (space) (system stuff).
[07:33] <wizek> Moridin333, i don't have windows on this pc
[07:33] <Moridin333> jcasimir: you can run the cd recovery and reinstall grub.
[07:33] <xhaan> wizek, error 21 means it cant access the drive for one reason or another
[07:33] <Ltar> now its (Space) (menus) (launchers) (system Stuff)
[07:33] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, the MBR is re-written whenever you install GRUB
[07:33] <Ltar> how do i move the space where i belongs?
[07:33] <banlieue> exit() it is :]
[07:33] <wizek> But why, and how can i solve it?
[07:34] <skollie> wizek: have a look here - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=394165
[07:34] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, So what do you mean "get rid of grub" ?
[07:34] <xhaan> wizek, you need to find out why it cant access it and fix it
[07:34] <Moridin333> wizek: for some reason or another your comp can't use the hard drive, try booting live cd in recovery and reinstall grub
[07:34] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: So it should be replacing the GRUB in the MBR when I do a normal install?  I'm feeling like the grub config there isn't changing with the new install, but I could be wrong.
[07:35] <xhaan> wizek, it could be a bios problem, a hardware problem, or a grub configuration problem
[07:35] <Moridin333> jcasimir: it is being replaced, but if the error has happened multiple times, then grub isn't the problem.
[07:35] <goofy> is it possible to bond 2 wireless connections for load balancing
[07:35] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: I've tried repairing with SuperGrub and going through different tutorials, but I'm not getting anywhere.
[07:36] <goofy> sorry if someone already answered i got distracted
[07:36] <jcasimir> Moridin333: When I reboot (after a fresh install) I just get "Error 22: No such partition".  Any suggestion?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, The GRUB config is mostly in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:36] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, If you are seeing a menu at all when you boot then the problem is not the MBR
[07:37] <wizek> Moridin333, I've tried install Linux to an absolutly clean HD, third times...
[07:37] <wizek> Moridin333, but still nothing
[07:37] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: Ok, good to know.  I do have the menu, but choosing any option gives the "Error 22: No such partition".  So, could the problem be with the partition table or something?
[07:37] <Moridin333> jcasimir: it sound's like grub is looking for the partition in the wrong place or there is no partition.
[07:38] <wizek> Moridin333, install finishes succesful, and at the restart there is that error
[07:38] <sfreak> using xchat, how do I prevent seeing the admin messages when people join or leave?
[07:38] <wizek> Moridin333, can  u help me?
[07:38] <Moridin333> wizek: wow, this is an odd one.  error 21 right?  what kind of drive is it ide or sata?

[07:41] <skollie> matkix: what happens when you try to connect? Do you get an error message?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, press "e" to edit the line and tell us what the "root" is ( you should see something like root (hd0,0)
[07:41] <Samad> thanks
[07:41] <matkix> No, just fails to connect.
[07:41] <Moridin333> wizek:  hmmm, to try and fix it I would boot live cd in recovery mode and reinstall grub.  I know it dounds dumb but it might help, also reset bios to default.  if that doesn't work you'll need to look at the grub config file to check the settings.
[07:41] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, Or pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:41] <matkix> Ive tested it on many networks.
[07:41] <LukeEkblad> I wana know how to deleat my windows files from bubntu
[07:41] <dsmith> how can I adjust the icons used for shortcuts on my desktop?
[07:41] <LukeEkblad> ubuntu*\
[07:41] <skollie> matkix: and it does not work on any of them?
[07:41] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: it says root (hd1, 0)
[07:41] <bruenig> dsmith, like what
[07:41] <enix> i know this is not a question relating to ubuntu but here goes: i have googled like crazy but i think i dont know the propper term. what do i need to see if other comps are trying to connect to my wifi?
[07:41] <matkix> No.
[07:42] <Moridin333> enix:  logs of your router
[07:42] <matkix> Other problem, I don't know how to tell what wireless card I have...
[07:42] <skollie> matkix: have you checked that your secrity settings match those on your wireless router?
[07:42] <matkix> So no way to really fix it...
[07:42] <Moridin333> matkix: pcmcia?
[07:42] <matkix> Yes
[07:42] <wizek> Moridin333, Tell me how can i chack the settings, and which settings are good or bad...
[07:42] <Jordan_U> scotty_, What didn't?
[07:42] <dsmith> bruenig: icons on my desktop (firefox shortcuts) show w/ a question mark
[07:42] <scotty_> Jordan_U, that didnt work it said it couldnt retrieve the package, and therefore i wasnt able to select flgrx or w/e as the driver
[07:42] <bruenig> dsmith, how did they get there?
[07:42] <matkix> Ive attempted to do both wep and open networks. No luck, onboard card.
[07:43] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, Press e again to edit it and choose (hd0,0)
[07:43] <dsmith> shortcuts I saved
[07:43] <skollie> matkix: but if you can see the networks, it means the card is working, right?
[07:43] <arooni> where is the xorg log file found?
[07:43] <enix> Moridin333: thanks, i will get digging
[07:43] <scotty> scotty_: off my nick please -- It pings me everytime you say something.
[07:43] <bruenig> dsmith, how? did you write .desktop files
[07:43] <dsmith> yes
[07:43] <scrubba> Jordan_U, that was me it couldnt retreieve the package
[07:43] <matkix> Somewhat.... it however will not connect to them.... This system is a dual boot, and the card works and connects to all networks in windows.
[07:43] <bruenig> dsmith, ok, so change the Icon=
[07:43] <Jordan_U> scotty, You need to be connected to the internet
[07:43] <Moridin333> wizek:  it all depends on what is actually on your hard drive, it would be a little different for most every computer.  if you have 1 ide hd is should be looking at hda*.  the * is a number defining what partition it should be loading
[07:43] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: I think I owe you a beer or something
[07:43] <LukeEkblad> I need to know how to deleat my old windows files from ubuntu... Pleas help! :)
[07:44] <skollie> matkix: what drivers did you install?
[07:44] <dsmith> actuall there are called deskcut
[07:44] <Jordan_U> scrubba, You need to be connected to the internet
[07:44] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: What's the quickest way to make that change permanent?  Look in /boot/ for the config file?
[07:44] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: are you there?
[07:44] <dsmith> I have tried, but when I changed one you would think they all would change
[07:44] <dsmith> not the case here
[07:44] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, Yes
[07:44] <bruenig> dsmith, here is probably the easiest way to do this, go into /usr/share/applications and move over whatever you want to ~/Desktop
[07:44] <scrubba> Jordan_U, I had my internet pluggeg in
[07:44] <scrubba> should i have rebooted first?
[07:44] <scotty> Jordan_U: : What?
[07:45] <scotty> I am connected to the internet, or I wouldn't be talking to you now.
[07:45] <Jordan_U> scotty, tab again :)
[07:45] <Moridin333> reboot...in linux...perish the thought  :)
[07:45] <scotty> ah
[07:45] <dsmith> these are url links
[07:45] <Jordan_U> scrubba, Try running "udo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient etho"
[07:45] <LukeEkblad> i really need help
[07:45] <Jordan_U> scrubba, That's sudo at the begginging
[07:45] <Moridin333> what's the problem?
[07:45] <Zan1> hi
[07:45] <Szeraax> bruenig: hey, you wanna do me a quick favor?
[07:45] <LukeEkblad> um
[07:45] <John2> what do I need to play windows media audio streaming from a site?
[07:45] <LukeEkblad> hold on
[07:46] <Szeraax> pastebin your menu.lst (do you use grub?)
[07:46] <John2> it uses windows media player
[07:46] <bruenig> dsmith, give a better description of what is going on, you said you created .desktop files, now you say they are descuts whatever that is and then url, I have no idea what is going on
[07:46] <LukeEkblad>  I need to know how to deleat my old windows files from ubuntu
[07:46] <scrubba> Jordan_U, okay, well i have to logg of the internet on this machine to get on the other one
[07:46] <matkix> skollie, none... just what ever the install put there.
[07:46] <bruenig> Szeraax, lilo
[07:46] <scrubba> Jordan_U, anythign else i should know?
[07:46] <arooni> i get  "(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)" ... does anyone know how i can get this? (feisty + intel x3100)
[07:46] <frawg> Anyone else having troubles installing the nvidia drivers?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> John2, win32codecs and the plugin that lets gstreamer use it
[07:46] <Moridin333> lukekblad in the linux partition or windows partition?
[07:47] <John2> I have those already
[07:47] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:   Whats partition?
[07:47] <Szeraax> dang
[07:47] <skollie> matkix: you probably have to install ndiswrapper
[07:47] <bastidraZor> frawg, nvidia-new fixed my issues
[07:47] <Jordan_U> scrubba, If it doesn't work the first time try running "sudo depmod -a" and try again
[07:47] <bastidraZor> glx-new i think
[07:47] <matkix> skollie, use the repos?
[07:47] <Szeraax> does anyone who uses grub wanna do me a huge favor and pastebin their menu.kst real quick?
[07:47] <frawg> bastidraZor, I tried all 3 from the nvidia site, where'd you come across the nvidia-new?
[07:47] <Moridin333> lukekblad: is the windows drive showing up as a icon on your desktop?
[07:47] <Samad> if my filepath is to /home/samad/desktop/App/CD.iso     how would I enter that into terminal to mount?
[07:48] <Szeraax> i just need an example, yes, i know all the other stuff to do, yes i know fixmbr
[07:48] <skollie> matkix: you could, but that does not always work. Best is to google 'wireless ndiswrapper ubuntu' and get instructions on how to detect your device and what to do
[07:48] <newbie0034> Is there a program to insert audio into a video file given a certain point in time?
[07:48] <Szeraax> i just want to look at a working one right now
[07:48] <bastidraZor> frawg, http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:48] <wizek> Moridin333, well i can say it is a virgin hd now, after a total format and an ubuntu installed on it... i can't change it, i can't even boot up with my linux...
[07:48] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:   Um, theres a thing that says hard drive. but when i had windows thats what i named my hard drive...Hard drive
[07:49] <jcasimir> Jordan_U: I made the changes to the menu file, rebooted, and everything went great without intervention.  Thank You!!!
[07:49] <frawg> bastidraZor, thanks :)
[07:49] <WisdomWolf> I need help with nvidia drivers on a laptop running ubuntu...I just installed nvidia and then beryl
[07:49] <Jordan_U> jcasimir, Np :)
[07:49] <bastidraZor> frawg i think it is nvidia-glx-new .. but i'm not 100%
[07:49] <rabidweezle> if I got multiple programs for one thing, how do I set the default program in gnome?
[07:49] <WisdomWolf> when I restarted X I got a black screen
[07:50] <matkix> The common one okay?
[07:50] <sniff_> how to restore my /etc/mysql
[07:50] <bullgard4> My computer has 40 files containing in their filenames the string 'hwmon'. Can one explain to me the concept of 'hwmon'? I found "hwmon.c - part of lm_sensors, Linux kernel modules for hardware monitoring." But I still do not understand what 'hwmon' is.
[07:50] <matkix> skollie, the common one okay?
[07:50] <wizek> How can i turn off to show XXX logged in or out in Gaim IRC?
[07:50] <skollie> matkix: common one what?
[07:50] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:  u there?
[07:50] <Moridin333> lukekblad: ok, that means you have 2 partitions, 1 is for windows, and 1 is for linux (actually there's probably 3 but we won't get into that).  the problem is that you as a regular linux user don't have permision to delete the files.  to change this go to the command line or open a terminal and type "sudo chmod 777 /media/Hard Drive"  this will give you permission to delete files.
[07:50] <frawg> WisdomWolf, i did some research before I tried installing some nvidia drivers, from what I read you dont need beryl. Also, I'm tryin the new package for nvidia from ubuntu's website right now, let you know in a minute if it works
[07:51] <wizek> Moridin333, well i can say it is a virgin hd now, after a total format and an ubuntu installed on it... i can't change it, i can't even boot up with my linux...
[07:51] <matkix> skollie, ndiswrapper-common
[07:51] <skollie> !ndiswrapper | matkix
[07:51] <ubotu> matkix: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:51] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: did your nvidia drivers work like suppoesd to before ytou installed beryl?
[07:51] <unagi> is it possible to have the icons on the desktop sit on the right side and/or add 'arrange by type' to the menu?
[07:51] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:  ok
[07:51] <WisdomWolf> nvidia and then beryl worked on my laptop (GeForce 7600), this is a different older laptop
[07:52] <skollie> matkix: ndiswrapper needs to use the driver specific to your card usually so the common one might not work
[07:52] <btsdev> Does anyone know how to make larger-resolution framebuffers properly align to the screen? (my prompt is mostly off the screen with a 1280x1024 fb)
[07:52] <WisdomWolf> gfx is a Gefore 4 series I believe
[07:52] <Moridin333> wizek: I'm out of ideas besides reinstalling GRUB or checking the settings and resetting the bios.
[07:52] <WisdomWolf> I don't know
[07:52] <frawg> bastidraZor, ahh, these may work just fine actually, the ones off of nvidia's website are legacy drivers, meant for older cards
[07:52] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: so you got the one laptop working?
[07:52] <WisdomWolf> installed one then the other then reset X
[07:52] <bastidraZor> frawg, i have a nVidia 5200.. which is ancient
[07:52] <matkix> skollie,  So how will this work if I don't know anything about my card... as in what it is.
[07:52] <wizek> Moridin333: ok, 'll reinstll GRUB first
[07:52] <WisdomWolf> ya, the compile didn't work ended up just install nvidia-glx
[07:53] <bastidraZor> it pushes dual monitors just fine though
[07:53] <frawg> bastidraZor, im running a 7800 gs oc
[07:53] <Szeraax> cool
[07:53] <wizek> Moridin333: how can i do that?
[07:53] <WisdomWolf> Szeraax, after you left it failed and I went with the only way I knew how
[07:53] <Szeraax> whatever works
[07:53] <Szeraax> makes me hapy
[07:53] <sniff_> i'm missing my /etc/mysql <-- help pls
[07:53] <Szeraax> sorry i cause all the worthless crap then
[07:53] <bastidraZor> frawg, next friday (possibly) i'm buying a PCI-E 7600GT
[07:53] <unagi> sigh i guess its not possible to do this........i thought everything was possible in linux
[07:53] <bruenig> sniff_, make one?
[07:53] <wenren> which version of ubuntu is most advanced?
[07:53] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:   acctually, the hard drive is called "HardDrive 1"
[07:53] <wizek> Moridin333: do i have to do it from here or from somewhere else?
[07:53] <WisdomWolf> but now I have a second laptop that just has a black screen now
[07:54] <skollie> matkix: that's why I said to google - of ten you will find instructions to determine what card you have
[07:54] <bruenig> wenren, feisty is the latest version, gutsy is in alpha
[07:54] <LukeEkblad> wenren:  the newest :P
[07:54] <orbisvicis> where is the acpi folder w/ the events ?
[07:54] <bruenig> orbisvicis, /etc/acpi/events irrc
[07:54] <bruenig> iirc
[07:54] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: ca you do me a quick favor with your good one? *is it using grub or lilo ) (the good one)
[07:54] <orbisvicis> thanks
[07:54] <frawg> bastidraZor let me know how that goes, I would have pci-e now except im running dual xeons and the manuf's want outrageous money to upgrade motherboards
[07:54] <WisdomWolf> I can run a livecd to get into the files, but what do I need to edit
[07:54] <unagi> wisdomWolf did u edt ur xorg?
[07:55] <WisdomWolf> grup
[07:55] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:    It dident work
[07:55] <WisdomWolf> I did
[07:55] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: can you pastebin your menu.lst?
[07:55] <Moridin333> wizek : this should tell you how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:55] <bastidraZor> frawg, nice, i just built this box.. still building slowly as the money comes available
[07:55] <Szeraax> chances are its the video driver, WisdomWolf
[07:55] <Moridin333> lukeekblad: what error are you getting?
[07:55] <WisdomWolf> how do I undo it to try again?
[07:55] <sniff_> bruenig: missing my /etc/mysql
[07:55] <WisdomWolf> what's a good irc client for ubuntu so I can talk from their
[07:55] <LukeEkblad> luke@luke-laptop:~$ sudo chmod 777 /media/Hard Drive

[07:56] <WisdomWolf> I'm on mIRC on a windows laptop right now
[07:56] <Moridin333> XChat
[07:56] <Szeraax> i use gaim
[07:56] <frawg> bastidraZor, lol i know the feeling.  This thing is an HP xw6000 workstation that windows doesnt like so I wiped it and put something good on it
[07:56] <bruenig> sniff_, that is a config file right? just create it
[07:56] <sniff_> bruenig: how
[07:56] <bruenig> LukeEkblad, quotes
[07:56] <matkix> skollie, So this allows windows drivers to work?
[07:56] <Moridin333> LukeEkblad: make sure you're typing in the right drive name.  you can type the first letter or so and press TAB to see a list
[07:56] <bruenig> sniff_, um sudo gedit /etc/mysql
[07:57] <sniff_> bruenig: how the config file in /etc/mysql/
[07:57] <skollie> matkix: yes, but it is linked to the .inf rather than the .exe file
[07:57] <bruenig> !english | sniff_
[07:57] <ubotu> sniff_: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[07:57] <WisdomWolf> I assume pidgin would work then?
[07:57] <matkix> So once its installed how do I setup the driver for it?
[07:57] <matkix> I've got access to my windows partition and the driver from the ubuntu side.
[07:58] <bastidraZor> frawg, so far i'm at a small 300$ MB Processor RAM and a case
[07:58] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:   OK. THERE > sudo chmod 777 /media/HardDrive\ 1/
[07:58] <Moridin333> likeekblad: yep, that should give you access.
[07:58] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:  it dident
[07:58] <sniff_> bruenig: how about config file in etc/mysql
[07:58] <frawg> bastidraZor bah that's 1/2 of what they want for just the motherboard for this thing.  I'm going to build a much much faster system later this year.  Getting married and whatnot so my cash is kinda tied up
[07:59] <matkix> skollie, humm. kk well I'm looking into how to set this up now
[07:59] <Moridin333> crap, now what does it say?
[07:59] <bruenig> sniff_, make it
[07:59] <Ek0nomik> Question:  Does anyone know of a command that can show me my external IP?
[08:00] <Ek0nomik> ifconfig simply gives my internal, 192. etc etc.
[08:00] <arooni> where should i add extra modules that i need to be loaded (before x starts) ?
[08:00] <skollie> matkix: this might help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[08:00] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, whatismyip.com
[08:00] <LukeEkblad> luke@luke-laptop:~$ > sudo chmod 777 /media/HardDrive\ 1/
[08:00] <LukeEkblad> chmod: changing permissions of `/media/HardDrive 1/': Read-only file system
[08:00] <LukeEkblad> luke@luke-laptop:~$
[08:00] <WisdomWol1> ok got pidgin working
[08:00] <Ek0nomik> I want to do it in the terminal bruenig.
[08:00] <Ek0nomik> not website.
[08:00] <Moridin333> lukeekblad:  one thing you can do is press alt f2 and type gksu nautilus.  this will open the file explorer with superuser acess.  you can delete the files from there
[08:00] <bastidraZor> frawg, pentium D's 3.0 ghrz 1G ddr2.. not bad price
[08:00] <frawg> bastidraZor, ok, downloaded the nvidia-glx-new and it opened with the debian installer..now, i get Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'nvidia-glx'   ... how do i uninstall that one?
[08:00] <Moridin333> lukeekblad: oh yea, put -R(must be capital) before the 777.
[08:00] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, I have searched long for this, I do not think it is possible, if you do find it, tell me
[08:00] <bastidraZor> frawg, portatech.com .. nice combo deals
[08:01] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, as the ip is not registered with the system, it is registered with the router
[08:01] <frawg> bastidraZor, im running dual xeon 2.8g HT's with 4gb of ECC at the moment
[08:01] <Ek0nomik> well, I could just use a script I am sure.
[08:01] <bastidraZor> frawg, apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[08:01] <Derek> lawl
[08:01] <Derek> nioce
[08:01] <Ek0nomik> yeah, but the router knows the external IP.
[08:01] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, but the only communications you have with the router is asking it to give you an ip, that is it
[08:01] <bastidraZor> nice
[08:01] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, there is no interaction where it tells you its ip
[08:02] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:  can you type it all down so i can copy it?
[08:02] <frawg> bastidraZor, do i need to reboot X? the installer still tells me same thing
[08:02] <skollie> matkix: the link I sent has instructions to determine type of wireless card, whether it is compatible, where to find the driver and how to install
[08:02] <n2diy> I have a wifi router up and running, what software could I use to find hotspots?
[08:02] <bastidraZor> worth a try..
[08:02] <Moridin333> lukeekblad: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/HardDrive\ 1/
[08:02] <wenren> n2diy, wlassistant.
[08:02] <bastidraZor> is that the right driver for your card?
[08:03] <bruenig> n2diy, iwlist interface scan
[08:03] <LukeEkblad> Yay, i think it worked!!! thanks! :)
[08:03] <unagi_> wow i royally messed up i really need some advice here........i was trying to get my hibernation working and was following a tutorial for s2disk or something like that and now my pc wont boot into the newest kernel of ubuntu
[08:03] <unagi_> but im able to boot into the 15 kernel
[08:04] <unagi_> it says something like cant find valid mount point or something
[08:04] <unagi_> is there a way to delete the 16 kernel and redownload the update or somethingh?
[08:04] <i2evielle> speaking of wireless.. I am trying to get wireless working on my laptop with ububtu. put in the card and it picks it up from what I can tell.. I have wep on my wireless and when I click the network part up top and it tells me to enter in my passcode it just sits and says "Waiting for the network key for the wireless network..." any idea why it wont connect?
[08:04] <n2diy> wenren: bruenig, thanks, will a hotspot talk to a router?
[08:04] <unagi_> uswsup?
[08:04] <LukeEkblad> Awww crap, nvm
[08:05] <bruenig> n2diy, not sure
[08:05] <LukeEkblad> Moridin333:   I try to deleat somthing and it says i cant
[08:05] <frawg> bastidraZor, know the command to install a .deb package in case X doesnt start when i reboot?
[08:05] <skollie> i2evielle: did you enter the correct wep key? Seems that's what it's waiting for
[08:05] <LyosNorezel> ya'll might wanna ban <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:06] <unagi_> anyone know?
[08:06] <bastidraZor> dpkg -i
[08:06] <frawg> thanks, hopefully i'l be back in a jiffy
[08:06] <wenren> n2diy, you don't need a router to talk to a hotspot. all you need is a wireless client.
[08:06] <bastidraZor> luck
[08:06] <i2evielle> yah, I did. checked it three times to make sure it was the right one and it was. in the router it has 4 different keys and I have tried all 4 and neither seem to work. all give me the same message
[08:07] <n2diy> wenren: bruenig, roger, all I have set up now is the router, so it is acting as a server. Can I bridge a Linksys BEFW11S4?
[08:07] <unagi_> what is the log path for shutdowns
[08:07] <skollie> i2evielle: are your keys in ascii/hex and have you checked that you have it correct
[08:08] <wweasel> Has anyone here installed the new version of flashplugin-nonfree (9.0.48) and had it not work (flash simply doesn't display)?
[08:08] <bruenig> n2diy, I just said I don't know
[08:08] <unagi_> can anyone please assist with this......im afraid ill have to reformat and id rather not
[08:08] <crimsun> wweasel: via feisty-proposed?
[08:08] <LukeEkblad> Ok, i need help from someone elce
[08:08] <wweasel> crimsun: Yep
[08:08] <wenren> n2diy, what is your router model?
[08:09] <crimsun> wweasel: that one's broken; the original uploader omitted my fixes.  I've uploaded a fixed source package that's awaiting admin moderation.
[08:09] <n2diy> bruenig: ok, I'll drop you from the replies.
[08:09] <i2evielle> skollie, to be honest I dont remember if they are ascii or hex.. im looking in the router settings and its just a long code like "33da8sdd7dad..." for example. and yah, the key is correct
[08:09] <arooni> folks how do i switch my colors to 24bpp
[08:09] <arooni> ?

[08:09] <Amaranth> Jordan_U: handled by staff
[08:10] <wenren> n2diy, checking it up.
[08:10] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | LukeEkblad
[08:10] <ubotu> LukeEkblad: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.  Also, have you checked if it works with security disabled? Security settings is the most common problem
[08:10] <unagi_> Jordan_U: can u help me
[08:10] <wweasel> crimsun: Alright, good to know. Thanks :)
[08:11] <Newbie_Dude> LukeEkblad - Do you want to delete everything or just some?
[08:11] <liquiddoom> !nat
[08:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:11] <unagi_> can anyone please help me
[08:11] <bruenig> Ek0nomik, here is what I have come up with, it is not a system thing but is a fast terminal way to get it from whatismyip.com: wget -q whatismyip.com -O- | sed 's|<| |g' | awk '/TITLE>What/ {print $3}'
[08:11] <unagi_> i cannot boot into the newest kernel of my ubuntu.....what should i do
[08:11] <LukeEkblad> Newbie_Dude:    some
[08:11] <i2evielle> I havent checked with it off. I remember I had to have wep working for something but for the life of me I cannot remember why I had to enable it, something only worked with wep on oddly enough, but ill try with it off really quick
[08:11] <proqesi> unagi_: use the previous version
[08:12] <Newbie_Dude> LukeEkblad Try ntfs-3g like Jordan_U pointed out :)
[08:12] <Ek0nomik> thanks bruenig.
[08:12] <Jordan_U> unagi_, What happens when you try to boot from it?
[08:12] <Ek0nomik> I was looking at things like that myself.
 iconfig | grep "inet addr" perhaps?
[08:12] <unagi_> it says it cant find a valid boot point or moutn point or something
[08:12] <Ek0nomik> that is local qiuid.
[08:12] <unagi_> i screwed it up
[08:12] <bruenig> liquiddoom, that is for local ip address
[08:12] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g > LukeEkblad
[08:12] <unagi_> is there a way to delete the new kernel and reload it?
 D'oh... silly nats.
[08:12] <skollie> i2evielle: generally a good idea to have wep or wap enabled or to use mac address authentication, so disabling security is just to test
[08:12] <proqesi> unagi_: are you trying to build your own kernel?
[08:12] <wenren> n2diy, that's a broadband router. one end is wired to your dsl link. then it can link up with your client pc wirelessly.
[08:13] <unagi_> no....i broke the new kernel
[08:13] <Serlo> ...
[08:13] <Serlo> omg
[08:13] <Jordan_U> unagi, Yes, apt-get remove --purge it and re-install it ( and -generic so you still get updates )
[08:13] <wenren> n2diy, and your client pc can surf the web wirelessly. you don't need to link to any hotspot.

[08:14] <unagi_> how do you remove the kernel
[08:14] <unagi_> apt-get remove what
[08:14] <n2diy> wenren: yep, but I don't have broadband, I'm hoping to access broadband over the air, I have local hotspots, just don' know how to find them?
[08:14] <_tuzhila> hi all
[08:14] <azslande> Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu (Linux in General), and I am trying to network to my wife's PC (which is windows), can anyone help me?
[08:14] <unagi_> Jordan_U: apt0get remove what
[08:14] <sniff_> i'm missing /etc/mysql <-- how to get back
[08:14] <bruenig> !samba | azslande
[08:14] <ubotu> azslande: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:14] <unagi_> !kernel
[08:14] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[08:15] <azslande> thanks
[08:15] <Newbie_Dude> What's the difference between an apt-get and an aptitude?
[08:15] <wenren> n2diy, in that case you don't need a router. you need to set up your pc as a wireless client.
[08:15] <Jordan_U> unagi_, The kernel
[08:15] <unagi_> aptitude dls dependancies for removal
[08:15] <unagi_> apt-get remove kernel 16?
[08:15] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, apparently aptitude handles dependencies better
[08:15] <unagi_> whats the line Jordan_U
[08:15] <Newbie_Dude> Paddy_EIRE, unagi_ : So should I always use aptitude?
[08:16] <unagi_> i would
[08:16] <n2diy> wenren: Roger that, so I can't configure the BEFW11S4 to be a client?
[08:16] <Optimus55> btw can anyone else get through to www.adobe.com  i'm getting time outs
[08:16] <jwtodd> hey ... i used to run bum to manage services. is there something better these days? thx.
[08:16] <Newbie_Dude> unagi_, thanks
[08:16] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, yeah, although there is nothing wrong with apt-get really
[08:16] <unagi_> Jordan_U: ?
[08:16] <Jordan_U> unagi_, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic --purge
[08:16] <unagi_> ty
[08:16] <sniff_> i'm missing /etc/mysql <-- how to get back /mysql
[08:16] <Szeraax> WisdomWolf: well, good night
[08:16] <wizek> Moridin333: I'm reinstalling Grub right now... how can i chack it is working if it stopped at "Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time."?
[08:16] <defrysk> Newbie_Dude, aptitude handles dependencies to the point of removeing a whole o.s. just to resolve it
[08:17] <skollie> Optimus55: I just did
[08:17] <Newbie_Dude> defrysk, sounds efficient
[08:17] <defrysk> Newbie_Dude, so be carefull
[08:17] <Jordan_U> unagi_, Then sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
[08:17] <wenren> n2diy, it necessary at all. all you need is to know the wlan device you are using, get the right driver and set it up to connect to the hotspot or any reachable wlan.
[08:17] <wenren> i mean not necessary at all.
[08:17] <Optimus55> skollie: okay thanks.. i'm still getting a problem..
[08:18] <wenren> gotta go. bye.
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Paddy_EIRE, When people talk about handling dependencies better they mean what apt-get can now also do with autoremove
[08:18] <Optimus55> gtg laters
[08:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Jordan_U, oh, very good
[08:18] <slackorama> does wicd work better than networkmanager for wireless?  right now my laptop can't find any networks after exiting hibernate unless i restart.  /etc/init.d/dbus restart doesn't even fix the problem.
[08:19] <n2diy> wenren: Sorry, I don't understand. My understanding is two servers won't talk to each other? One needs to be "bridged" to act as a client?
[08:19] <Paddy_EIRE> slackorama, some laptops just dont handle hibernate all that well under linux
[08:19] <tracker1> I accidentally nuked the network applet in the top right corner, how do I get that back?
[08:19] <i2evielle> skollie, yah, looks like nothing works. even without wep
[08:19] <Paddy_EIRE> tracker1, nm-applet
[08:19] <tracker1> it doesn't seem to be in the add panel folder..
[08:19] <LukeEkblad> ok, how do i deleat my windows partition?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> LukeEkblad, gparted
[08:20] <bastidraZor> gtparted or qtparted
[08:20] <klock> ive got a question about xfce4. If a startup program requires root permissions to run, how do you give it them so you dont have to start in a terminal window and type in the password?
[08:20] <Paddy_EIRE> tracker1, alt+f2 then nm-applet
[08:20] <liquiddoom> LukeEkblad: sudo apt-get install gparted, then run gksudo gparted
[08:20] <Jordan_U> LukeEkblad, If it is on the same drive as you currently are booted from you will need to use it from a liveCD
[08:20] <skollie> i2evielle: did you completely disable security i.e. on the router side, set it up as an open network
[08:21] <slackorama> Paddy_EIRE: so i would prolly have the same problem with wicd? *sigh*
[08:21] <i2evielle> skollie, yah, in the wireless settings I disabled wireless security. wep, mac filtering, all is set to disable
[08:21] <Jordan_U> slackorama, Can you still connect with iwconfig ?
[08:21] <LukeEkblad> Jordan_U:  what do you mean "It"?
[08:21] <Paddy_EIRE> slackorama, there is a sure fire way of telling on the laptop testing team on ubuntus site
[08:21] <skollie> i2evielle: did it ever work?
[08:22] <tracker1> Paddy_EIRE, not seeing it...
[08:22] <Paddy_EIRE> slackorama, search for your model to see
[08:22] <Jordan_U> LukeEkblad, Your windows partition
[08:22] <slackorama> Jordan_U: nope.
[08:22] <tracker1> Paddy_EIRE, do I need any parameters?
[08:22] <LukeEkblad> Jordan_U:  ya, i cant boot up my windows anyway
[08:22] <slackorama> Paddy_EIRE: ok, thanks.  i'll go peck around there.
[08:22] <i2evielle> on other stuff its worked before. before I turned off wireless security I atleast had what looked like a signal strength.. now nothing.
[08:23] <Paddy_EIRE> tracker1, try doing it in a terminal nm-applet &&
[08:23] <Jordan_U> tracker1, only one &
[08:23] <Ek0nomik> How do you connect via SSH on the non default port?  I changed it, but ssh <IP_ADDRESS>:2008 doesn't do the trick.
[08:23] <Ek0nomik> instead I get this error:
[08:23] <Ek0nomik> ssh: <IP_ADDRESS>:2008: Name or service not known
[08:23] <liquiddoom> Ek0nomik: ssh -p 2008
[08:23] <skollie> i2evielle: what do you mean other stuff?
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> liquid:  tricky.
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> thanks.

[08:24] <bullgard4> My computer has 40 files containing in their filenames the string 'hwmon'. Can one explain to me the concept of 'hwmon'? I found "hwmon.c - part of lm_sensors, Linux kernel modules for hardware monitoring." But I still do not understand what 'hwmon' is.
[08:24] <LukeEkblad>  is what happens
[08:24] <Jordan_U> !paste > LukeEkblad
[08:24] <bruenig> !pastebin | LukeEkblad stop that
[08:24] <ubotu> LukeEkblad stop that: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> hm.
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> liquid:  I don't get the error...
[08:24] <klock> anybody know?
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> but it just hangs.
[08:24] <Ek0nomik> it doesn't connect.
[08:25] <i2evielle> this is the first thing that wireless wont work on. wep atleast showed signal strength.. now it doesnt show that, but with wep on it just said it was waiting on network key and wouldnt connect
[08:25] <n2diy> wenren: Roger that, so I can't configure the BEFW11S4 to be a client?
[08:25] <Ek0nomik> I have 3 computers on a local network, and I want to connect via SSH to all 3.
[08:25] <tracker1> Paddy_EIRE, Jordan_U, Okay, same result, nothing visual on screen...
[08:25] <Ek0nomik> but from outside the network.
[08:25] <klock> ive got a question about xfce4. If a startup program requires root permissions to run, how do you give it them so you dont have to start in a terminal window and type in the password?
[08:25] <LukeEkblad> Jordan_U:   so what do i do now?
[08:25] <skollie> i2evielle: what I was asking was - were you ever able to connect to the router?
[08:26] <Jordan_U> LukeEkblad, boot a liveCD with gparted on it ( The Ubuntu LiveCD does ) and run gparted from there
[08:26] <i2evielle> on the laptop with ubuntu, no. not with or without wep on.
[08:26] <amidaniel> Is the source for ubotu available anywhere? He's a nifty lil thing I'd like to try out in some different channels
[08:27] <skollie> i2evielle: did you try to install ndiswrapper - required most times
[08:27] <LukeEkblad> Jordan_U:  and what will it do?
[08:27] <Jordan_U> !ubotu | amidaniel
[08:27] <ubotu> amidaniel: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:27] <jwtodd> is there a better service manager (/etc/init.d stuff) these days other then bum?
[08:27] <amidaniel> Jordan_U: Thanks :)
[08:27] <i2evielle> nope, I sure havent. wouldnt have any idea on how to install anything. first time ever really using linux
[08:27] <Jordan_U> LukeEkblad, Delete your windows partition and replace it with something else ( that is what you want to do right? )
[08:27] <MikeRotch> hey
[08:28] <Paddy_EIRE> jwtodd, not sure what did you have in mind... I always found bum had plenty of options
[08:28] <amidaniel> Hmmm .. http://blackbird.kaarsemaker.net/code/ubotu/ is empty
[08:28] <Paddy_EIRE> jwtodd, and there is already a few cli ways to interact with services and the like
[08:28] <skollie> i2evielle: ok - not to worry. All of us learn as we go along. Go have a look here and I'm sure it will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[08:28] <LukeEkblad> Jordan_U:  i'm just trying to free up space cuz whenever i download anything on ubuntu now, it says that i dont have enough room
[08:28] <sniff_> how to restore /etc/mysql
[08:29] <jwtodd> i recall someone telling me about another service manager that i checked out and liked but i forgot the name
[08:29] <klobster> LukeEkblad: sudo cfdisk /dev/hda (or whatever disk)
[08:29] <jwtodd> i'd prefer to go w/ gui
[08:29] <Jordan_U> i2evielle, What chipset is the card you have?
[08:29] <i2evielle> alright, ill check that out and give it a read
[08:30] <i2evielle> its the gf's old card.. all I know is its a U.S. Robotics 5410 if that is of any help at all
[08:30] <_tuzhila> how man russians here?
[08:30] <MikeRotch> is anyone here running compiz

[08:31] <MikeRotch> well my desktop cube doesn't work?
[08:31] <MikeRotch> i am new and JUST got it to work with my ATI x1600
[08:31] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, search synaptic for gl-desktop
[08:31] <MikeRotch> but it seems to do alright except the keys that shoudl make it do stuff don't really do it
[08:31] <MikeRotch> k thx
[08:31] <conorkirkpatrick> Has anybody had any problems with X on nVidia GeForce FX5200?
[08:31] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, great interface for controlling a few elements of compiz
[08:31] <Jordan_U> MikeRotch, Check the key bindings in compiz-manager
[08:32] <MikeRotch> i did the second
[08:32] <MikeRotch> the search gor gl-dekstop brings nothing?
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> .
[08:32] <MikeRotch> for*
[08:32] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[08:32] <conorkirkpatrick> Has anybody had any problems with X on nVidia GeForce FX5200?
[08:33] <conorkirkpatrick> 05Has anybody had any problems with X on nVidia GeForce FX5200?
[08:33] <WisdomWol1> is there a way to add a right click option to send an app to a different workspace?
[08:33] <MikeRotch> mainly it's the cube though
[08:33] <MikeRotch> i can ctrl-alt right/left
[08:33] <MikeRotch> to switch windows.
[08:33] <WisdomWol1> I seem to remember this functionality in preivous/other distros
[08:34] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, gnome-compiz-manager
[08:34] <frawg> WisdonWol1, you can do it still if you right click the title bar of the app
[08:34] <astro76> WisdomWlf, right click on title bar, or click icon in top left corner
[08:34] <MikeRotch> yea i have that intalled Patty
[08:34] <MikeRotch> installed sorry
[08:35] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, open it up and make sure it has desktops set to 4 for the cube to work properly
[08:35] <WisdomWol1> ahh I see, it isn't available in Beryl
[08:35] <MikeRotch> haha sorry to be new
[08:35] <MikeRotch> but how do i open it up
[08:36] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, system > prefs > gl desktop
[08:36] <WisdomWol1> if I switch to metacity it works, but if I'm using beryl I don't get the workspace options
[08:36] <WisdomWol1> any idea why?
[08:37] <Paddy_EIRE> MikeRotch, there is also an option to add an icon to the sys tray so you can quickly enable/disable it
[08:37] <_tuzhila> what means last numbers in stdout for uptime command?
[08:38] <WisdomWol1> o well I'll have to mess with it more tomorrow
[08:38] <WisdomWol1> it's late here
[08:38] <MikeRotch> awesome
[08:38] <MikeRotch> i think it works now
[08:38] <astro76> _tuzhila, http://www.teamquest.com/resources/gunther/display/5/index.htm
[08:38] <MikeRotch> i didn't know there were two settings deals
[08:38] <MikeRotch> thanks
[08:39] <Ratrophy> woohoo
[08:39] <WisdomWol1> does anyone else get screen flicker periodicallly when usign beryl?
[08:39] <brunner> I'm trying to decide if it's worth having a windows partition at all, as opposed to just installing windows in a vmware partition
[08:39] <MikeRotch> i do with compiz
[08:39] <MikeRotch> haha
[08:39] <MikeRotch> on  an ATI x1600
[08:39] <WisdomWol1> I'm on nVidia 7600G
[08:40] <MikeRotch> cool
[08:40] <MikeRotch> i think
[08:40] <WisdomWol1> it's not that big a deal, but can be a bit annoying
[08:40] <MikeRotch> haha
[08:40] <Ratrophy> brunner just have a 486 set aside for windows
[08:40] <CppIsWeird> i need help IMMIDATELY: my laptop was feeling kinda hot, so i checked the cpu temp, and it was 85C.... i flipped the laptop over, and i hear no fan going... i blew into the fan system, and the thing dropped 15C... i found my fan in proc, and it says the fan is on... how to i manually turn the fan on in linux? I think the fan is off, never turned on, because i came from hibernation.
[08:40] <brunner> I meant vmware image, btw
[08:40] <Paddy_EIRE> WisdomWol1, turn the refresh rate in beryl manager up to max
[08:41] <WisdomWol1> max? that's 200
[08:42] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[08:42] <Paddy_EIRE> smooth
[08:42] <WisdomWol1> ok
[08:42] <supermatthew> why when ever i click "KDevelop: C/C++" in the add/remove programs it says "Enable the bla bla 'Universe' of the Ubuntu software bla bla "enable coponent" checking installed and avaliable readling list of avaliable applications, then back to the first one
[08:42] <Paddy_EIRE> supermatthew, and did you
[08:42] <WisdomWol1> I assume it won't refresh any more often then the display can anyways, just hopefully without hiccup this way
[08:42] <WisdomWol1> thanks for the tip
[08:42] <Paddy_EIRE> no probs
[08:43] <frawg> what's a good ftp app?
[08:43] <WisdomWol1> you know how to fix the workspace problem too, paddy?
[08:43] <liquiddoom> gftp
[08:43] <frawg> thanks
[08:43] <bastidraZor> frawg, i see you're back.. all going well?
[08:43] <Paddy_EIRE> yep
[08:43] <Ratrophy> Palimpsest, using ubuntu?
[08:43] <LukeEkblad> how do i deleat all my windows files and still keep ubuntu?
[08:44] <Flannel> LukeEkblad: just take a partitioner, and remove your windows partition
[08:44] <Palimpsest> Ratrophy, to play music and movies
[08:44] <Paddy_EIRE> WisdomWol1, you need to tell beryl the same thing as compiz basically
[08:44] <MikeRotch> hey
[08:44] <Ratrophy> Palimpsest, sounds like a great use for ubuntu
[08:44] <LukeEkblad> Flannel:   whats a partitioner?
[08:44] <MikeRotch> should i use with compiz... the "copmpizConfig Settings Manager" or the "Compiz Settings Manager"
[08:44] <frawg> bastidraZor, lol nope, the glx-new drivers wouldnt let me boot gdm at all, took me a bit to get it uninstalled, had to reinstall the ones from nvidia's website jsut to get gdm started so i could download a different one to try out
[08:44] <WisdomWol1> meaning what?
[08:44] <MikeRotch> they sounds the same but i don't know if one is better or something?
[08:45] <WisdomWol1> Paddy, what do you mean tell it the same thing as compiz?
[08:45] <frawg> bastidraZor, the installer tells me i am trying to use nvidia kernel 91**, so i removed that package, then it tells me i had 7*** installed, so i removed it also...nightmare :P
[08:45] <bastidraZor> well that isn't that fun..
[08:45] <Palimpsest> Ratrophy, u think so, :)
[08:45] <Paddy_EIRE> WisdomWol1, go in to beryl manager then to desktop tab
[08:46] <frawg> im tryin the 9631 set now, crossing my fingers all the while
[08:46] <Paddy_EIRE> WisdomWol1, then make sure that the cube is enabled and that rotate is also
[08:46] <LukeEkblad> Flannel:  u there?
[08:46] <Daveyboy> I installed php5 from source but dpkg does not "see it", ??
[08:47] <Ratrophy> why would dpkg see it if you installed it from source?
[08:47] <WisdomWol1> ok
[08:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !ubuntu-effects | WisdomWol1
[08:47] <ubotu> WisdomWol1: For help with 3d desktop effects applications or drivers please join #ubuntu-effects, someone there will be glad to help you. You can read http://forum.beryl-project.org/ for most common problems or questions.
[08:47] <Paddy_EIRE> WisdomWol1, handy channel :D
[08:48] <magnetron> Daveyboy: dpkg will only keep a record of installed .deb files
[08:48] <supermatthew> forget it, ill just find another compiler
[08:49] <supermatthew> O.o theres 1000 people here
[08:49] <Ratrophy> lies!
[08:49] <C-{pR0F> Hello
[08:49] <supermatthew> hello
[08:49] <LukeEkblad> Pleas, someone tell me how i can deleat  my windows files and keep my ubuntu
[08:49] <C-{pR0F> where can i download a C++ compiler for ubuntu?
[08:49] <Daveyboy> I installed php5 from source but dpkg does not "see it", ?? when I install apache2 php extensions it tried to install the php5-common package (do not want that as I found bugs in the php5 package version of php5)
[08:50] <thunderbolt> C-{pR0F: sudo apt-get install g++
[08:50] <bastidraZor> time for me to sleep
[08:50] <preaction> Daveyboy: if you use checkinstall you can get an uninstallable version of source builds
[08:50] <preaction> !checkinstall | Daveyboy
[08:50] <ubotu> Daveyboy: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[08:50] <supermatthew> TY also thunderbolt
[08:50] <bastidraZor> frawg, good luck.hope to you see you back around
[08:50] <magnetron> thunderbolt, C-{pR0F: install the package build-essential
[08:50] <Daveyboy> preaction, okay great
[08:50] <frawg> bastidraZor, i'll be here quite often enough, problems arise once in awhile :)
[08:51] <frawg> thanks for the help by the way
[08:51] <C-{pR0F> and then  use from the terminal as G++ <filename> ??
[08:51] <Frogzoo> C-{pR0F: install build-essential
[08:51] <bastidraZor> glad i could help.
[08:51] <thunderbolt> Thanks, I forgot about that package :)
[08:51] <fyrestrtr> Amaranth: are you here?
[08:51] <bastidraZor> even though my fixes failed you
[08:51] <preaction> Daveyboy: if you didn't "make clean" yet, you should be able to just "cd /your/source/directory" and "sudo checkinstall" (instead of having to rebuild)
[08:51] <Amaranth> fyrestrtr: yep
[08:52] <magnetron> LukeEkblad: you could use the software gparted to resize partions. i cannot give you more detailed instructions than that
[08:52] <fyrestrtr> mind a quick /msg ?
[08:52] <frawg> yah but it pointed me in the right direction, or at least one I was unaware of :)  I'll let you know how it all turns out
[08:52] <Amaranth> fyrestrtr: go ahead
[08:52] <ThanatosDrive> Is there a better BT client for Ubuntu?
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE> what could the possible problem be when my system completely hangs no mouse movement nothing not even ctrl+alt+backspace does a thing, I then have to turn off by holding the power button down and turning back on again
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE> what causes this normally
[08:52] <preaction> Paddy_EIRE: beryl?
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[08:52] <LukeEkblad> magnetron:   ok, how do i get this?
[08:52] <Jordan_U> Paddy_EIRE, GFX driver issues
[08:53] <Jordan_U> Paddy_EIRE, Does alt+sysrq+k work? can you ssh in?
[08:53] <magnetron> LukeEkblad: with add/remove applications
[08:53] <Paddy_EIRE> Jordan_U, not tried that one
[08:54] <Frogzoo> ThanatosDrive: azureus is very good if you have spare ram
[08:54] <bastidraZor> ThanatosDrive, i've come to like Transmission or kTorrent (even though kTorernt is a KDE app)
[08:54] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, Transmission rocks
[08:54] <magnetron> ThanatosDrive: some recommend deluge
[08:54] <C-{pR0F> i installed g++  , now , how do  i compiler ... g++ filename.cpp????
[08:55] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive,  or utorrent runs well in wine
[08:55] <magnetron> C-{pR0F: yep
[08:55] <C-{pR0F> that's not working , it output a file called a.out but that's not working
[08:55] <C-{pR0F> nothing happen when i open it
[08:55] <ThanatosDrive> Paddy_EIRE: I'm used to a utorrent-based client, but not looking to install wine.
[08:55] <magnetron> C-{pR0F: then you made a programming error. a.out is the executable file
[08:56] <C-{pR0F> ok i'll c what's wrong ,
[08:56] <ThanatosDrive> Any options? (I'm looking at Transmission right now and it looks...like I don't have enough control.)
[08:56] <magnetron> ThanatosDrive: then go with deluge, transmission or ktorrent
[08:56] <C-{pR0F> thank for helpong
[08:56] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, then its gota be transmission...great quick app
[08:56] <Jordan_U> ThanatosDrive, If you want really lightweight try rtorrent
[08:58] <C-{pR0F> can i run the a.out from the terminal?
[08:58] <alecw1> How do I change the color of loading bars, highlighting, and select boxes in Ubuntu? It's all set to the classic orange, but I want to change it to another color.
[08:58] <magnetron> C-{pR0F: yes
[08:58] <swiftly> Does anyone know of a VB replacement for linux?
[08:58] <Skrypt> How do I add a program to start up?
[08:58] <preaction> swiftly: what do you want it for?
[08:58] <C-{pR0F> magnetronhow?
[08:59] <C-{pR0F>  magnetron  how??
[08:59] <alecw1> Drag the file into the terminal
[08:59] <swiftly> preaction : just simply RAD dev
[08:59] <preaction> !startup | Skrypt
[08:59] <ubotu> Skrypt: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[08:59] <joran> my first time here.
[08:59] <supermatthew> there was one, envelop or something, win and linux vb complier
[08:59] <preaction> swiftly: RAD?
[08:59] <alecw1> and press "enter"
[08:59] <magnetron> C-{pR0F: you need to cd to the directory where the file is located.
[08:59] <swiftly> rapid app devel
[08:59] <LukeEkblad> how do i open gparted?
[08:59] <C-{pR0F> ahh , ok , that works
[08:59] <magnetron> C-{pR0F: then type ./a.out
[08:59] <C-{pR0F> but why it's working on the termianl ,but don't work under X
[08:59] <alecw1> Luke, sudo apt-get install gparted
[08:59] <preaction> swiftly: your best bets are either Perl or Python
[08:59] <alecw1> and run by typing "gparded"
[09:00] <alecw1> "gparted"*
[09:00] <alecw1> !gparted
[09:00] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[09:00] <Paddy_EIRE> swiftly, I dunno, Maybe you should try mono
[09:00] <supermatthew> "unable to lock administrator directory" - help plz
[09:00] <dxdemetriou> to install compiz-fusion on Feisty, what repos use the same names as gutsy?
[09:00] <C-{pR0F> my program works well on the terminal , but it don't work under X !!!
[09:00] <preaction> swiftly: if you want nice cross-system GUI-capable stuff, i'd go with Python (Perl's windows support is iffy at the best of times)
[09:00] <magnetron> !info gambas | swiftly
[09:00] <preaction> swiftly: correction: perl's GUI on windows support
[09:00] <Paddy_EIRE> swiftly, or Eclipse
[09:00] <ubotu> swiftly: gambas: Visual development environment for the Gambas programming language. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15-1.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 954 kB, installed size 2228 kB
[09:01] <alecw1> I'd recommend C. Small file-size, efficient...
[09:01] <supermatthew> YAY C
[09:01] <preaction> alecw1: he said "rapid" not "glacial"
[09:01] <swiftly> C? *shudders*
[09:01] <supermatthew> its fun
[09:01] <supermatthew> "unable to lock administrator directory" - help plz, running "sudo apt-get install g++"
[09:01] <swiftly> So lets see: gambas or mono or eclipse?
[09:01] <swiftly> NOT C!!
[09:01] <alecw1> swiftly, Linux itself is in C. Don't underestimate the language. ;)
[09:02] <swiftly> Aware but its just not what im looking for...
[09:02] <ThanatosDrive> That's odd. I don't see transmission under my Add/Remove
[09:02] <preaction> swiftly: python or perl. C# is not as "rapid" as python/perl
[09:02] <supermatthew> microsoft virtural PC is in C
[09:02] <ThanatosDrive> Should I try sudo apt-get install transmission
[09:02] <ThanatosDrive> ?
[09:02] <Paddy_EIRE> !getdeb | ThanatosDrive
[09:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:02] <alecw1> How do I change the color of loading bars in Ubuntu?   Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[09:03] <C-{pR0F> magnetron : ok , Thankx
[09:03] <swiftly> does anyone know or a channel for software dev?
[09:03] <LukeEkblad> how do I "Open" gparted if i alredy have it installed?
[09:03] <Paddy_EIRE> swiftly, loads
[09:03] <alecw1> preaction, is there a way to JUST change the loading bar color?
[09:03] <preaction> swiftly: most of the languages have their own channel on this network
[09:03] <alecw1> I have a erally great theme right now...
[09:04] <Flannel> LukeEkblad: system > administration > gnome partition editor
[09:04] <swiftly> Paddy : only new so give us a hint
[09:04] <preaction> alecw1: did you read those? try those first, they'll move you in the correct direction
[09:04] <Akidi> Hey, any of you guys use simple64?
[09:04] <Paddy_EIRE> swiftly, which lingo
[09:04] <ThanatosDrive> Paddy_EIRE: Wow! This is a really handy site! Thanks!
[09:04] <preaction> alecw1: you're going to most likely have to edit your theme
[09:04] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, no probs
[09:04] <alecw1> ok preaction, thanks.
[09:04] <swiftly> Paddy_EIRE: well im just getting gambas
[09:04] <swiftly> but mono seems the way to go
[09:05] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah mono is pretty popular
[09:05] <alecw1> preaction, I just skidded through that, and I don't see anything on theme editing...
[09:05] <Akidi> Does XCHAT Gnome  do telnet?
[09:06] <Paddy_EIRE> alecw1, gnome-look has plenty of tutorials
[09:06] <Paddy_EIRE> alecw1, and art.gnome
[09:06] <alecw1> ok
[09:06] <alecw1> thanks
[09:06] <ThanatosDrive> What's a really lightweight yet powerful music player for GNOME?
[09:06] <GenNMX> ThanatosDrive: XMMS
[09:07] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: Applications->Sound & Video->Music Player
[09:07] <ThanatosDrive> Amaranth: RhythmBox seems bulky.
[09:07] <CppIsWeird> i need to support a very important bug report, where do i go?
[09:07] <swiftly> I'd stick with XMMS
[09:07] <thunderbolt> I use Beep, personally.
[09:07] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, I love listen or Exaile or Banshee :D all great
[09:07] <dev_0> ola
[09:08] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: It's the ultimate in lightweight "just do it all for me" music playback
[09:08] <alecw1> !beep
[09:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beep - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:08] <ThanatosDrive> Amaranth: Really? This is one of the least RAM-using players they have?
[09:08] <MM{SLEEP}> DCC SEND HAI2UPFOX 0 0 0
[09:08] <ThanatosDrive> I really hafta get some 256MB RAM cards then -.-
[09:08] <alecw1> !xmms
[09:08] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[09:09] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: there are some winamp copycats that are more lightweight
[09:09] <klobster> ThanatosDrive: see MOC
[09:09] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: but rhythmbox automatically adds music to your library and such so it's less work to use
[09:09] <thunderbolt> beep link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/sound/beep-media-player
[09:09] <ThanatosDrive> Hahaha such choices!
[09:09] <ThanatosDrive> Amaranth: It does? I had to put it in myself...
[09:10] <ThanatosDrive> BTW I love the global keyboard shortcuts.
[09:10] <klobster> ThanatosDrive: http://moc.daper.net or just apt-get install moc
[09:10] <ThanatosDrive> For RhythmBox. Do they work on all music players?
[09:10] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: those don't work with other players
[09:10] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: well, except banshee and amarok but those are heavier than rhythmbox
[09:10] <ThanatosDrive> Amaranth: Dangit! I might have to stick with RhythmBox then...
[09:11] <ThanatosDrive> !codecs
[09:11] <Amaranth> ThanatosDrive: if you tell rhythmbox your music is in /home/user/Music and to watch it for changes it'll add the music for you if you drop it in the Music dir

[09:12] <bitform> Where are icon files stored???
[09:12] <Skrypt> !sound
[09:12] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:12] <ThanatosDrive> Amaranth: That's odd, I can't select the drive as a folder?
[09:12] <ThanatosDrive> I'm trying to add it in Preferences but all it's giving me is "open"
[09:15] <Akidi> Is there a quick way to install a debian package and if you are missing dependencies to download those automatically?
[09:15] <defrysk> Akidi, use gedebi
[09:15] <Paddy_EIRE> is there a list of system services that should/shouldn't be running on a laptop install
[09:15] <defrysk> gdebi
[09:15] <Akidi> gdebi <package name> then?
[09:16] <Newbie_Dude> What applications do you guys recommend for MP3 playback and iPod management?
[09:16] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, banshee and gtkpod
[09:16] <magnetron> Akidi: or just double-click the .deb , it will run gdebi
[09:16] <Paddy_EIRE> !ipod | Newbie_Dude
[09:16] <ubotu> Newbie_Dude: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[09:16] <sfreak> gtkpod is good
[09:16] <defrysk> Akidi, sudo gdebi blah.beb
[09:16] <Newbie_Dude> Paddy_EIRE, thanks, I'll google those.
[09:16] <incorrect> im reading the docs, but i can't find package realplay
[09:16] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, use the wiki
[09:17] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, I like rhythmbox but if you wan't something more like amarok then exaile is good
[09:17] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, or banshee
[09:17] <short_range_com> hey i was wondering any of you guys remember anything about these short range im radios
[09:17] <jwtodd> i had to ctrl-c synaptic and it now won't restart as it complains about not being able to get a lock file. any idea as to where that lock file is stored?
[09:17] <incorrect> !realplayer
[09:17] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:17] <short_range_com> they never really caught on
[09:17] <Frogzoo> Newbie_Dude: sounds like you want amarok
[09:17] <short_range_com> you could im your friends at school
[09:17] <Paddy_EIRE> incorrect, you really dont need to use that package
[09:17] <short_range_com> or use them to cheat at tests
[09:17] <klobster> how resource intensive would it be to create 25-30 links to the same file?  also, how much space does a directory take?
[09:17] <Newbie_Dude> Frogzoo, but isn't Amarok for Kubuntu? I'm supposed to use GNOME stuff, yah?
[09:18] <short_range_com> they were some kinda short range packet radio i think
[09:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, amarok is worth running on gnome aswell
[09:18] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, amarok works fine on gnome but its a Qt interface. if you like Amarok, use Exaile, its GTK
[09:18] <rockets> Exaile is an amarok clone for gnome
[09:18] <Akidi> When I run gdebi it simply says "error dependency is not satisfiable : ia32-libs" Obviously I'm missing that dependency, but if I can download it + whatever else is required in one go that'd be great.
[09:18] <Frogzoo> Newbie_Dude: most kde stuff runs on gnome, including amarok
[09:19] <Newbie_Dude> Frogzoo, rockets , Paddy_EIRE -- thanks for all the answers, will check them all out :)
[09:19] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, no probs
[09:19] <Newbie_Dude> What's the easiest way to go about installing the JAVA runtine environment? Should I do it through add/remove, apt-get, or download it from the java.com?
[09:19] <magnetron> Akidi: double-click the .deb and it will solve it
[09:19] <Paddy_EIRE> !Java | Newbie_Dude
[09:19] <ubotu> Newbie_Dude: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:19] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, use synaptic
[09:19] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, install sun-java5 though not java6, some stuff doesnt work with 6 yet
[09:19] <magnetron> !java | Newbie_Dude
[09:20] <Akidi> magnetron - I did.
[09:20] <Akidi> That's how I got the error
[09:20] <Newbie_Dude> rockets, thanks. I saw both 5 and 6 in add/remove but was about to install 6.
[09:20] <rockets> Newbie_Dude, yeah well, logmein.com doesnt work with 6, so who knows what else doesnt
[09:20] <sfreak> jwtodd did you fix your synaptic problem yet?
[09:21] <magnetron> Akidi: then ia32-libs isn't in the repos
[09:21] <jwtodd> not yet :(
[09:21] <sfreak> in a terminal, type pgrep synaptic
[09:21] <jwtodd> i bet a logout/login will fix it but i'm just now getting fiesty up and would like to stick in session if possible :)
[09:21] <sfreak> nah, no logout necessary
[09:21] <Dark-Star> Thanks all finally solved my browsing problem :)
[09:22] <jwtodd> i didn't see a dot log fine in my ~
[09:22] <Dark-Star> Till then look at my blog.. U'll find a customization guide by me http://tuxenclave.wordpress.com/
[09:22] <jwtodd> so ... can i just remove the apt/synaptic lock file?
[09:22] <sfreak> it is possible that synaptic is still running in the background.  In a terminal, type "pgrep synaptic" without the quotes, if a number comes up, we know what the problem is
[09:22] <jwtodd> if so, where is it?
[09:23] <magnetron> klobster: creating links and directories take virtually no resources
[09:23] <jwtodd> ahhh ... right
[09:23] <jwtodd> checking
[09:23] <ThanatosDrive> :O Celestia for Linux (joy!)
[09:23] <Akidi> Wow, ok, I went and attempted to backtrack through. I can't even download libc. Something conflicting with tzdata ( was hoping to back my way until I found a file I had to build on )
[09:23] <jwtodd> and yet is was
[09:23] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, yeah I love those apps
[09:23] <jwtodd> my bad. thx :)
[09:23] <sfreak> did you kill it?
[09:23] <jwtodd> yup
[09:23] <ThanatosDrive> Stargazing is basically one of my largest pasttimes.
[09:23] <sfreak> sweet, nice work
[09:24] <jwtodd> ummm ... celebrating too early me thinks
[09:24] <klobster> magnetron: but what about accessing the linked file once it has 30 links attached to it?
[09:24] <jwtodd> doesn't seem to want to start backup
[09:24] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, too much light pollution where I am at the mo :(
[09:24] <magnetron> klobster: no difference from having just one file
[09:24] <jwtodd> ahhh dpkg needs a bath looks like
[09:24] <ThanatosDrive> Paddy_EIRE: Same here but it's a passion.
[09:25] <sfreak> other programs will also block, like apt-get, or yeah, dpkg
[09:25] <magnetron> add/remove apps will also block
[09:25] <jwtodd> ahhh .. dpkg is picking up where synaptic left off.
[09:25] <jwtodd> nice!
[09:25] <Paddy_EIRE> !services
[09:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about services - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:25] <jwtodd> i did a "dpkg --configure -a"
[09:25] <jwtodd> per the error dialog
[09:26] <jwtodd> it seems the sun java doc packages, both 5 and 6, fail :(
[09:26] <jwtodd> i typically install java by hand anyways.
[09:26] <Newbie_Dude> This community is incredible... Between detailed and simple wikipedias and this channel I haven't had anything stump me. :P
[09:26] <Daveyboy> I installed why is the php version on my phpinfo(); test page different than the 'php -v' version? It appears it is using the php5-common package version
[09:26] <jwtodd> and now i have synaptic back :)
[09:27] <jwtodd> much appreciated
[09:27] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbie_Dude, its essential if linux is to survive, great stuff
[09:27] <Akidi> So wish more games came out for Linux :(
[09:28] <Paddy_EIRE> Akidi, more and more are coming out including Quake Wars
[09:28] <Happu> you will have to wait for it
[09:28] <magnetron> Akidi: if you like first person shooter, try nexuiz (add/remove apps)
[09:28] <Happu> but still... it takes a long time to get main gaming on linux
[09:28] <Newbie_Dude> Paddy_EIRE, id Software is making a game with Linux support? :o that's good news
[09:29] <Par-Due> I'm trying to get an M-audio Radium midi controller to be detected by alsa..anyone ever master that?
[09:29] <astro76> id has been making all their games for linux
[09:29] <magnetron> Newbie_Dude: all the quake games come in a linux version
[09:29] <astro76> they even gpl all their engines
[09:29] <Frogzoo> id use opengl - so the linux ports are a doddle
[09:30] <Newbie_Dude> magnetron, i got a copy of quake 2 as well as another copy of quake 2 from my quake 4 DVD, will try to install it now :)
