[11:29] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: second, go back to FF-2.. FF3 is so freakin unstable, i had nothing but probs out ofi t on 3 different machines
[11:29] <lowlux> how do i use AppArmor?
[11:29] <ak5> franzrebs, sudo killall firefox-bin
[11:29] <manoff> Dr_willis: how do i found out the device name for this?
[11:29] <franzrebs> @rutgermasi it says ' firefox: no process killed'
[11:29] <lowlux> on 8.04?
[11:30] <Gimbli> Vistauser: otherwise we can also try to set a static ip for your network. but i do not know, whether some configuration tool might overwrite it
[11:30] <franzrebs> ak5 it says no process killed
[11:30] <Vistauser> i am runngin the dhclient thing.. maybe it was not included in the install because I skipped the configuration of the network.. but there is unfortunately no way to configure it once xubuntu is installed
[11:31] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: try reinstall firefox
[11:31] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: there has tob e a firefox process running to ge3t that error...
[11:31] <franzrebs> IndyGunFreak i see no firefox process
[11:31] <ak5> franzrebs, then it should start :/
[11:31] <Gimbli> do you get an ip, when you are running it?
[11:31] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: thenn if there's no p;rocess, it should start
[11:31] <Vistauser> it said no dhcpoffer received
[11:31] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: what does "ps -ef | grep firefox" say?
[11:31] <Vistauser> how can I get an overview how my network is configured``
[11:31] <Vistauser> ?!
[11:32] <Vistauser> ipconfig does not work
[11:32] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: typ in "ifconfig"
[11:32] <ak5> ifconfig
[11:32] <kelvin911> did hardy change the path for default mouse pointer?
[11:32] <Gimbli> Vistauser: ifconfig
[11:32] <IndyGunFreak> vistakiller: log into your router?
[11:32] <mathrick> hi, what happened to hal-device-manager in hardy?
[11:32] <Vistauser> ah that was it ifconfig!
[11:32] <IndyGunFreak> mathrick: i guess depending on your device, its there.. i have it.
[11:32] <ak5> Vistauser, for wireless: iwconfig
[11:32] <franzrebs> it still wont start, and im using firefox 2
[11:32] <vistakiller> :P ehm?
[11:32] <franzrebs> rutgermasi it says 'frances   6098  6063  0 11:32 pts/0    00:00:00 grep firefox'
[11:32] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: i have a feelig you're jerking our chain.
[11:33] <mathrick> IndyGunFreak: I don't, and there's not even a deb in the repo
[11:33] <ak5> hello - can someone tell me how to get my volume keys on lappy to change PCM instead of master?
[11:33] <Dr_willis> manoff,  fdisk -l, or look at dmesg output command.
[11:33] <ak5> :D
[11:33] <Gimbli> Vistauser: does it only display localhost?
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> mathrick: you using hardy
[11:33] <Vistauser> hmmm... using ifconfig does show me both eth1 and eth0 are configured.. but somehow nothing goes...
[11:33] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: start up synaptic package manager and reinstall firefox
[11:33] <mathrick> IndyGunFreak: yes
[11:33] <Vistauser> maybe the routing is not configured correctly
[11:33] <franzrebs> okay
[11:33] <rutgermasi> ak5: system->prefs->sound?
[11:33] <Gimbli> Vistauser: have you already tried to ping a public ip?
[11:33] <manoff> Dr_willis: fdisk -l outputs nothing
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> mathrick: what wireless device
[11:33] <franzrebs> inndygun what do you mean jerking your chain?
[11:34] <Gimbli> Vistauser: might also be a dns problem
[11:34] <mathrick> IndyGunFreak: how does that matter?
[11:34] <mathrick> the binary isn't there
[11:34] <ak5> rutgermasi, I tried looking there - what do you mean?
[11:34] <Vistauser> how do I configure this ip address where everything is sent ...
[11:34] <eisenhower> Question: Help appreciated: is there anyway i can realtime mic input to play throgh my speakers?
[11:34] <Vistauser> I forgot
[11:34] <Dr_willis> manoff,  try using a sudo for 'system' commands.. :) logical eh.
[11:34] <IndyGunFreak> mathrick: lol, i don't know.. good luck
[11:34] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: try "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" and "ping nl01.maaksite.nl"
[11:34] <ljsoftnet> i have openarena.deb and openarena-data.deb from getdeb.net, how do i install this two files?
[11:34] <ak5> or ping -c 3 www.google.de
[11:35] <Gimbli> Vistauser: you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[11:35] <manoff> Dr_willis: ah yes sorry
[11:35] <Vistauser> urneacable
[11:35] <IndyGunFreak> ljsoftnet: double click them
[11:35] <rutgermasi> ak5: Look for "Default mixer"
[11:35] <Starnestommy> ljsoftnet: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[11:35] <ak5> rutgermasi, set to PCM
[11:35] <ak5> rutgermasi, doesn't work though :(
[11:35] <laeg> i am having troulbe getting sound in wine when vlc is running in the background - i have tried to remove pulse audio by selecting alsa for all options in system > preferences > sound but i still have no success - how can i fix this?
[11:35] <ljsoftnet> which one should i double click first?
[11:35] <Starnestommy> ljsoftnet: probably openarena-data
[11:35] <manoff> Dr_willis: okay now i think what the device name is (/dev/sdb1)
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> ljsoftnet: i can't remember.. if youd ouble clcikt he wrong one, you'll get an error telling yout o click the other
[11:36] <ljsoftnet> ok
[11:36] <rutgermasi> ak5: I haven't a solution, try the ubuntu forums
[11:36] <franzrebs> so far in my one day of experience with xubuntu, firefox is the biggest headache
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> i believe it is data though, not 100% sure.
[11:36] <ak5> rutgermasi, I did, but thx!
[11:36] <manoff> Dr_willis: yes it works, thank you for teaching me more linux
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: are you sure you're using FF2?
[11:37] <franzrebs> yes i am
[11:37] <IndyGunFreak> franzrebs: don't know, try seamonkey.. i have no issues w/ it..
[11:37] <franzrebs> okay, im done reinstalling it in synaptic, but i still get the same error
[11:37] <Dr_willis> manoff,  this is rather basic linux stuff.. :) you may want to go do some reading.   be sure to UNMOUNT the device with umount /media/whatever   befor removing it
[11:37] <manoff> Dr_willis: could you also tell me that why might this device called sdb and not usb?
[11:37] <manoff> Dr_willis: yes i will
[11:37] <Ipkaf> hi
[11:37] <SebastianMcK> Sorry to bother you guys but ive forgotten my username and password for ubuntu
[11:37] <Ipkaf> hi
[11:37] <Vistauser> the netowrk/interfaces file is empty.. it only says auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[11:37] <franzrebs> does seamonkey have a del.icio.us addon? because that's the main reason i use firefox
[11:37] <Ipkaf> how to cancel this command ???
[11:37] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: also try opera, have you completely removed firefox? and also try to install older/newer version of firefox
[11:37] <FloodBot1> Ipkaf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:38] <Starnestommy> Ipkaf: which command?
[11:38] <Dr_willis> manoff,  why would it be called usb at all?  sdb = scsci drive b. :) sda = scsi drive a.
[11:38] <ak5> rutgermasi, lol it does work - it is just increasing/decreasing the volume by incredibly small increments
[11:38] <Ipkaf>  sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
[11:38] <rutgermasi> Ipkaf: ctrl+c
[11:38] <Gimbli> Vistauser: For eth1 it shoudl be something like this:
[11:38] <manoff> Dr_willis: aha ok i see
[11:38] <Dr_willis> manoff,  what if i plugged in all 10 of my USB thumbdrives at once? :)
[11:38] <Gimbli> auto eth1
[11:38] <franzrebs> i chose the mark for reinstallation option. i'll try to completely remove it now
[11:38] <Ipkaf> not ctrl c
[11:38] <Gimbli> iface eth0 inet static
[11:38] <Gimbli> (eth1 of course in your case ;)
[11:38] <Starnestommy> Ipkaf: sudo iptables -D FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
[11:38] <Gimbli> address <local ip>
[11:39] <Gimbli> subnet <local sub>
[11:39] <IndyGunFreak> only problem w/ Opera, at least the non-beta one, is flash is kinda flaky..
[11:39] <tadzhikaz> can anyone help me? i have wifi card ATHEROS AR5007EG. on ubuntu 7 it worked, but on ubuntu 8.04, it do not want to work. i installed driver madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz and i used this manual http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662877 . now i can see wireless networks, but i can not connect to them...
[11:39] <SebastianMcK>  Sorry to bother you guys but ive forgotten my username and password for ubuntu
[11:39] <Gimbli> gateway <router ip>
[11:39] <Vistauser> still it's weird that first it does work without problems!! only on reconnect there is a problem!
[11:39] <Ipkaf> thx Starnestommy
[11:39] <Gimbli> argh, and it is not subnet but "netmask"
[11:39] <Ipkaf> merci
[11:39] <faileas> both username and password?
[11:39] <SebastianMcK> faileas yeah
[11:39] <Starnestommy> SebastianMcK: go into recovery mode and check /etc/passwd for your username, then set the password with "passwd username"
[11:40] <IndyGunFreak> tadzhikaz: i used a madwifi patch for that device under 8.04.., but if you can see networks, i dn't know why you couldn't log in to them
[11:40] <ak5> Does anyone know how to increase the increments my sound goes up/down by when I press my vol+ / vol- keyboard keys?
[11:40] <SebastianMcK> iStarnestommy: dont really get what you mean? how do i check it and do i get into recovery mode by the grub menu? im really sorry to be a bother
[11:41] <LazyAngel> there should be a dpkg-reconfig similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it? i cant remember :(
[11:41] <mathrick> SebastianMcK: don't apologise so much, no-one minds
[11:41] <tadzhikaz> IndyGunFreak, in site write, that madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz is patched...
[11:41] <Vistauser> I'll just try to reinstall
[11:41] <mathrick> SebastianMcK: recovery mode is accessed via grub, yes
[11:41] <Starnestommy> SebastianMcK: there's a recovery mode option in the grub menu. To check /etc/passwd, run "nano /etc/passwd"
[11:42] <Vistauser> somehow the dhcp server and configuration for the network cards cannot be added using a tool in xubuntu.. only during the install!!!!
[11:42] <SebastianMcK> Starnestommy: alright ill go and see if it works
[11:42] <IndyGunFreak> tadzhikaz: don't know, i patched it myself, and it works fine... on it now actually, in hardy
[11:42] <justAsset_> Hello guys
[11:43] <justAsset_> anyone knows how to get my webcam work
[11:43] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam | justAsset_
[11:43] <Gimbli> Vistauser: normally there is also this nm-applet
[11:43] <justAsset_> thanks...
[11:43] <Vistauser> allthough on powering down it does say networkmanager disconnectin eth0 and eth1
[11:43] <Gimbli> sorry, i did not find the name earlier. but that could also help
[11:44] <MrBogie> if i install build-essential, does it require to have an internet connection?
[11:44] <rutgermasi> VIstauser: did you take a look at the system log files?
[11:44] <ak5> Vistauser, pls explain your problem to me
[11:44] <franzrebs> while my firefox install, i have another question: is there an option that automatically allows admin tasks? im always asked for my password when changing settings.
[11:44] <franzrebs> *installs
[11:44] <ak5> franzrebs, nor recommended
[11:44] <Starnestommy> MrBogie: you'll need to download it and all the packages that it needs then install them
[11:44] <ak5> franzrebs, at all
[11:44] <franzrebs> okay
[11:45] <franzrebs> why not? im the only one using the computer
[11:45] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: I think there isn't, it's a security feature
[11:45] <franzrebs> oh, alright
[11:45] <rutgermasi> franzrebs: Because virusses can take over your computer and install rootkits, ..
[11:45] <Vistauser> ak5: I did not configure the network during install of xubuntu, then I just connected my xunbtu to my dsl router and it just worked.. but when I disconnect the internetconnection by clicking on the network icon and then try to reconnect the blue circle just keeps turning but I cannot use the internet anymore.. then I have to reboot... and it works again
[11:45] <tadzhikaz> IndyGunFreak,  thank you for answer
[11:45] <rutgermasi> that is the problem of windows
[11:45] <MrBogie> Starnestommy: i have already dowonloaded it. what other packages it needs?
[11:45] <ak5> franzrebs, the thing is, if you run everything as root - you could do that ALL your programs run as root
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> tadzhikaz: i;'ve got another link if you want to try it, hang on
[11:46] <franzrebs> oh my
[11:46] <tadzhikaz> IndyGunFreak, yes, i want
[11:46] <franzrebs> well thanks for your answers
[11:46] <franzrebs> :)
[11:46] <ak5> franzrebs, that means any security flaw in irc programs will mean your system is 100% under control of attacker
[11:46] <justAsset_> anyone knows why ubuntu reserves username "admin"?
[11:46] <Starnestommy> MrBogie: libc6-dev/libc-dev, gcc, g++, make, and dpkg-dev
[11:46] <jussi01> !root | franzrebs
[11:46] <Martinp23> In pterm, how can I input "non-standard" characters?  (é eg)  My normal key combination doesn't work in pterm (with the meta key, ' then e).  Any ideas?

[11:46] <MrBogie> Starnestommy: thanks
[11:47] <MrBogie> Starnestommy: is that all?
[11:47] <Starnestommy> SebastianMcK: try "vim /etc/passwd"
[11:47] <Starnestommy> MrBogie: I think so

[11:47] <ak5> Vistauser, sry I cannot help you
[11:47] <faileas> yay another nano user ;p
[11:47] <rutgermasi> Or try "cat /etc/passwd"

[11:54] <Nikunj93> first time on IRC
[11:54] <Nikunj93> no nothing about it
[11:54] <SouseMouse> I connected a generic USB-to-serial adapter.  Now several of my USB ports don't work.  Rebooting doesn't help, once Gutsy boots my hub goes dead.  Is there something saving USB config data?
[11:54] <ak5> Nikunj93, its like in real life - don't shout at the people who help you for free
[11:55] <Nikunj93> ok sir
[11:55] <Nikunj93> chill
[11:55] <Vistauser> rutgermasi: I am now reinstalling and it says the network autoconfiguration failed, it suggets it is because some network hardware is not working properly which is bogus because my windows box connects fine using my dsl router
[11:55] <Nikunj93> and also please help me :)
[11:55] <Gimbli> ak5: as you will understand it and i did not find anyhting else: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/111033/next/

[11:55] <moon> How can i setup me sound card
[11:55] <Starnestommy> moon: what kind of sound card is it?
[11:55] <ak5> Gimbli, thx a bunch!
[11:56] <SebastianMcK> ive gotten my username which is "sebastian" i type in passwd sebastian type in a new passwoprd, it says must be authenticated
[11:56] <Gimbli> ak5: perhaps then you can define a combination to increase the volume
[11:56] <Nikunj93> so what to do ak5
[11:56] <Nikunj93> now?
[11:56] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: what about manually configuring the network?
[11:56] <flemnos> battlesquid: is /etc/localtime linked to the right timezone?
[11:56] <Nikunj93> image is hazy in firefox
[11:56] <Nikunj93> anyone please help
[11:56] <battlesquid> flemnos yes
[11:57] <IndyGunFreak> Nikunj93: take a paxil, if someone can help, they will, constantly saying, "please help me", is annoying
[11:57] <Nikunj93> image dicide into smal box like structures
[11:57] <Vistauser> rutgermasi: I don't know how... I did it a copule of years ago by typing in all soft of rooting command.. where can I find info on how to do it?
[11:57] <rutgermasi> Nikunj93: Tru #firefox
[11:57] <ak5> Gimbli, ah sry, I think you might have misunderstood me My sound keys work (they increase/decrease sound) but by very, very little
[11:57] <LazyAngel> there should be a dpkg-reconfig or similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it?
[11:57] <apavlov> Hey all, my fast user switching applet has started showing only logged-in users since recently (after a system update?) Any clues?
[11:57] <SebastianMcK> i hate ubuntu, its been a pain in the bum ever since i got it
[11:57] <SebastianMcK> windows is easier
[11:57] <ak5> SebastianMcK, no one is forcing you
[11:57] <rutgermasi> take windows :P
[11:57] <IndyGunFreak> SebastianMcK: user malfunction most likely, i've got 3 boxes, no problems at all.
[11:57] <Nikunj93> ya
[11:57] <battlesquid> SebastianMcK then give up, looser
[11:58] <Nikunj93> use paid things
[11:58] <Nikunj93> with piracy
[11:58] <Starnestommy> !ot
[11:58] <ak5> PEBKAC
[11:58] <Vistauser> rutgermasi: I did configure manually.. but now it asks me for a ip address. I want dhcp though!!
[11:58] <SebastianMcK> wow real nice
[11:58] <IndyGunFreak> SebastianMcK: nothing to do w/ nice or not nice, you made a foolish statement..,
[11:58] <LazyAngel> SebastianMcK: thats what you get for mentioning windows ;)
[11:58] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: just fill in your gateway and ip address, you don't need to get an ip automatically from your dhcp server
[11:58] <ak5> We aren't paid to be nice?
[11:59] <Vistauser> sebastian: did you reset your password?
[11:59] <Snowball> hi
[11:59] <Snowball> is there a software which saves everything typed?
[11:59] <IndyGunFreak> you should go to #debian, and see how "nice" they are..

[11:59] <Snowball> I need to control a chat of my child
[11:59] <Vistauser> rutgermasi: well if I have configured my dslr router as a dhcp server will it allow a static address to be used?!
[11:59] <Nikunj93> the images is only hazy in some places
[11:59] <Nikunj93> like orkut
[11:59] <SouseMouse> Does Gutsy retain USB device configuration between reboots?  My USB went haywire when I connected a cheap USB->serial adapter, and rebooting doesn't help.
[11:59] <ak5> Vistauser, most, yes
[11:59] <kelvin911> why i have to manually edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme in order the mouse pointer to change???
[11:59] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: yes
[11:59] <Nikunj93> http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074
[11:59] <Gimbli> Vistauser: yes, it will. the router normally runs independent from the dhcp server
[11:59] <Nikunj93> and this linl
[12:00] <kelvin911> how come changing it in appearance dont work anymore???
[12:00] <Starnestommy> Snowball: I don't think so.
[12:00] <battlesquid> vistakiller you need to select an IP outside of the DHCP interval
[12:00] <Nikunj93> ak5 u here?
[12:00] <kelvin911> anyone?
[12:00] <ak5> Snowball, I don't know, try to google keylogger+ubuntu
[12:00] <Vistauser> battlesquid: so how do I find out the dhcp intervall?!
[12:00] <ak5> Nikunj93, yes
[12:00] <jetscreamer> LazyAngel: i missed the full question, but dpkg-reconfigure locales or console-data ?  (but ubuntu locales are different iirc)
[12:00] <battlesquid> Vistauser see you router docs
[12:00] <Snowball> ak5, thank you =)  I did not know what word I need to search for =)
[12:01] <Snowball> thank you ak5
[12:01] <rutgermasi> battlesquid, no, vistauser: choose ip within your dhcp ip range,
[12:01] <battlesquid> Vistauser on my router there is a web config where i can select that interval
[12:01] <Vistauser> HERE WE GO AGAIN! I am really beginning to wonder if linux has matured as much as I expected....
[12:01] <battlesquid> rutger that wont work
[12:01] <ak5> Snowball, no problem - I have that kind of question often too, as english isn't my native language :)
[12:01] <Vistauser> some network manager is supposed to do that stuff for me!!!
[12:01] <IndyGunFreak> Vistauser: your user name says it all, Linux has matured A LOT in 4-5yrs I've been using it...
[12:01] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: go to http://<IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> (all with http://, open in firefox)
[12:01] <ak5> Vistauser, linux seems to work fine for me?
[12:02] <Nikunj93> ak5
[12:02] <Snowball> ak5, where are you from?
[12:02] <Nikunj93> u read
[12:02] <Nikunj93> what i wrote?
[12:02] <battlesquid> Vistauser this isn't about ubuntu maturing. it's about users needing to understand networking
[12:02] <ak5> Nikunj93, nope, sry
[12:02] <ak5> Snowball, germany
[12:02] <Vistauser> I can believe you guys when you say it works!
[12:02] <Nikunj93> i want to say
[12:02] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[12:02] <Vistauser> but at the cost of how much hours of your spare time?!
[12:02] <ak5> haha xD
[12:02] <Nikunj93> the image is hazy only in orkut and http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074
[12:02] <Vistauser> I also have some actual work to do...
[12:02] <ak5> Vistauser, out of the box usually
[12:02] <battlesquid> Vistauser sure we all do
[12:03] <rutgermasi> Vistauser: give some of us an ssh connection with your pc and it will work :P
[12:03] <ak5> Nikunj93, I don't know, I said that already - I have never seen this problem - sry
[12:03] <Vistauser> well I am using a very old computer... when I select the eth0 card for autoconfiguring the kernel panicks...
[12:03] <Vistauser> and the install stalls
[12:03] <digitalpsyko> will kubuntu 8.04 install my nvidia driver for me?
[12:03] <Nikunj93> ok
[12:03] <ak5> digitalpsyko, yes
[12:03] <Vistauser> then only rebooting work
[12:03] <digitalpsyko> im in the hardware drivers
[12:03] <IndyGunFreak> digitalpsyko: most likely.. you just may need to enable it in restricted driver
[12:03] <Snowball> ak5, Austria here =)
[12:03] <kelvin911> can i delete /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme ??
[12:04] <Vistauser> battlesquid: you all do what? invest a lot of spare time or have some work to do?
[12:04] <ak5> Snowball, heh nice :)
[12:04] <digitalpsyko> it says proprietary drivers are being used to make this system work properly.
[12:04] <ak5> Snowball, my parents are thinking of moving to gratz
[12:04] <Snowball> how comes?
[12:04] <ak5> digitalpsyko, yeah - unless you have moral complaints that'll be fine
[12:04] <IndyGunFreak> digitalpsyko: does it show "Enabled" is checked, and status is in use?
[12:04] <digitalpsyko> i enabled the restricted driver
[12:04] <digitalpsyko> yeah
[12:04] <ak5> Snowball, job
[12:04] <IndyGunFreak> digitalpsyko: ok, so whats the prob?
[12:04] <Snowball> ak-, i c =)
[12:04] <digitalpsyko> it pops up everytime i restart though
[12:05] <IndyGunFreak> digitalpsyko: what does?
[12:05] <Snowball> well,  I need to leave for a moment,  will be back soon
[12:05] <Snowball> thx ak5
[12:05] <Snowball> bye =)
[12:05] <ak5> Snowball, I'm going to stay and finish the abitur here :)
[12:05] <digitalpsyko> the restricted driver thing
[12:05] <ak5> Snowball, byebye
[12:05] <Snowball> and then you are going to come over here?
[12:05] <Snowball> ak5, gimme 10 mins *g*
[12:05] <ak5> Snowball, kk bye
[12:05] <IndyGunFreak> ok,well, i don't know... that must be because kde sucks.. i've never had that issue w/ Ubuntu.;
[12:05] <SebastianMcK> Enter your new UNIX password, i cannot enter anything
[12:05] <pedervl> I have an archive which the archiver tells me is tar, but it can't extract it as .tar. I can use konqueror to browse through the archive, but how can I extract it?
[12:06] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, even if you speak the truth - don't start WM wars here pls
[12:06] <as84> Hello, I have an AMD 64 bit Asus laptop, do you guys recommend that I install the 32 bit version of ubuntu or the 64 bits ?
[12:06] <digitalpsyko> will i be able to install compiz-fuzion with this restricted driver?
[12:06] <IndyGunFreak> ak5: i'll start what i like
[12:06] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, we tolerate bashing windows users already :P
[12:06] <rutgermasi> as84: if you have 4gb or more RAM/memory, you will need the 64bit version
[12:06] <IndyGunFreak> digitalpsyko: you should be able to
[12:06] <as84> I only got 2gb
[12:06] <Starnestommy> SebastianMcK: just type it in.  Nothing will show up, though
[12:07] <rutgermasi> as84: I recommend the 32-bit version
[12:07] <IndyGunFreak> as84: i always recommend 32bit... less problems
[12:07] <digitalpsyko> im converting from windows xppro and i must say i do like this kubuntu alot better
[12:07] <ak5> as84, unless you need the 64bit arch, use the 32bit
[12:07] <as84> rutgermasi, you mind telling me why?
[12:07] <digitalpsyko> i like the kdesktop environment instead of the gnome
[12:07] <as84> but isn't less performant thje 32 bits,
[12:07] <as84> ?
[12:07] <IndyGunFreak> i love that answer..
[12:07] <ak5> as84, only in theory
[12:07] <IndyGunFreak> install 64bit, then come back here with the constant problems you have.
[12:07] <Starnestommy> as84: flash, java, and some other things are hard to get working on the 64-bit version
[12:08] <digitalpsyko> thanks fellas
[12:08] <rutgermasi> as84: you will get a grater performance of your ram if you install 64bit version, only if you have 4gb or more
[12:08] <IndyGunFreak> Starnestommy: thats just the start of it.. many drivers do not have 64bit versions...., lots of programsdon't work under 64bit.
[12:09] <as84> but i heard with an dpkg -i --force
[12:09] <IndyGunFreak> 64bit is just to much of a headache, at least right now... i'll use it when its actually ready
[12:09] <as84> it would force the install
[12:09] <void^> as84: nice way to break a system
[12:09] <rutgermasi> as84: so don't use 64bit
[12:09] <IndyGunFreak> yup.
[12:09] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, I use 64 bit archlinux on my desktop and everything works fine
[12:09] <faileas> >_>
[12:09] <phoareau> hi. will there be any major change the the gnome UI in the future release of Ubuntu?
[12:09] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, it just requires more tweaking is all
[12:09] <faileas> digitalpsyko: what did i do? XD
[12:09] <IndyGunFreak> ak5: arch and ubuntu is very different
[12:09] <Starnestommy> phoareau: in 8.10?
[12:10] <SebastianMcK> Starnestommy: THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKS!
[12:10] <phoareau> yes
[12:10] <IndyGunFreak> arch is probably 64bit ready..,  in my opinion, Ubuntu is not.
[12:10] <Starnestommy> phoareau: I think you may want to try asking in #ubuntu+1
[12:10] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, true, but you were talking about the 64bit in general no?
[12:10] <IndyGunFreak> Suse is a great 64bit distro... although i hate it., it works quite well.
[12:10] <IndyGunFreak> ak5: no i was not.. i was referring to ubuntu...
[12:10] <digitalpsyko> XD my nutz
[12:10] <ak5> IndyGunFreak, AH OK THEN
[12:10] <phoareau> Starnestommy, ok thenk you.
[12:10] <whileimhere> I have an external SCSI USB CDRW. How do I find where its path is
[12:10] <ak5> lol capslock :/
[12:11] <IndyGunFreak> whileimhere: its probably /media/something
[12:11] <as84> you guys have an idea why ubuntu choose gnome as default DE ?
[12:11] <ak5> as84, why not?
[12:11] <IndyGunFreak> as84: because kde sucks, and newbs didn't like xfce or flux
[12:11] <as84> KDE seems cooler
[12:11] <ak5> as84, grab kubuntu then
[12:11] <Starnestommy> as84: I think the system utilities were easier to use and it used less space than kde
[12:11] <ak5> as84, choice is the keyword here
[12:11] <as84> i see
[12:12] <IndyGunFreak> not to mention, gnome users don't get used to staring at an hourglass
[12:12] <as84> anyone ever tried arch here?
[12:12] <faileas> lol
[12:12] <faileas> what hourglass?
[12:12] <as84> is it worth trying over ubuntu ?
[12:12] <ak5> as84, archlinux? yes
[12:12]  * faileas hasn't had much problems with KDE
[12:12] <as84> ak5 and what did you think of it ?
[12:12] <rutgermasi> as84: you can try it in vmware or virtualbox, or just install next to your ubuntu
[12:12] <ak5> as84, are you proficiant with the commandline?
[12:12] <as84> yeah
[12:12]  * IndyGunFreak would rather get his face stomped by a golf cleat wearing Rosie O Donnell, than use KDE
[12:13] <ak5> as84, go for it - its harder to setup
[12:13] <IndyGunFreak> i'd go back to windows before i used KDE
[12:13] <ak5> as84, but way faster
[12:13] <phoareau> gnome is good. i like gnome over kde or kde 4
[12:13] <ak5> as84, I use it on my desktop
[12:13] <as84> drivers wise, does it support as much as hardwares as ubuntu ?
[12:13] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: i use gnome too (on another system). cripes its a desktop envitonment, not a religion ;p
[12:13] <phoareau> but the thing is, the gnome UI never chnage, it stays the same. i think it needs a facelift.
[12:13] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: lol, for me, its almost religion, i despise kDE..
[12:13] <ak5> as84, it supports a lot - I have never had any issues - but if you mean out of the box - I'd say no
[12:14] <whileimhere> I still cannot get GRIP to find this external drive.
[12:14] <StavFX> hello, can someone help me with Creox? it won't do any effects for my guitar
[12:14] <ak5> as84, arch is not supposed to work out of the box - after the install you don't even have X
[12:14] <ak5> as84, if you are comfortable with that - just try it
[12:14] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: i'm platform agnostic ;p
[12:14] <scoldog> How can i get Kubuntu Gutsy to play DVD's?
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: lol
[12:15] <as84> i probably should read their install guide
[12:15] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: in more ways than one ;p
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> !medibuntu | scoldog
[12:15] <faileas> my latest 'toy' runs irix ;p
[12:15] <ak5> as84, I prefer using ubuntu for desktops if you don't want to configure anything
[12:15] <ak5> as84, but servers are awesome in arch
[12:15] <scoldog> Thanks, I thought it would automatically install the codecs like normal Ubuntu
[12:16] <phoareau> scoldog, there is a guide for that, you just need to install two or three progs
[12:16] <as84> i would run centos on servers though
[12:16] <as84> i dont trust arch
[12:16] <as84> it is too new
[12:16] <mohamed_> is the first time deal with vmware and i can start it but i got this message " Cannot find a serial number to unlock this version of VMware Server " how to solve this ?
[12:16] <IndyGunFreak> i've never used arch, but i've heard it has an incredible package manager once you learn to use it.
[12:16] <ak5> as84, well, ok - trust doesn't really have to do with it though - just take a look at the source :)
[12:17] <as84> so how come arch would theorically be faster than ubuntu
[12:17] <as84> lest bloated services?
[12:17] <ak5> as84, it is i686 optiized
[12:17] <as84> i mean they both run same kernel
[12:17] <Starnestommy> as84: and less bloat
[12:17] <IndyGunFreak> as84: this is way off topic.. if you want to try arch downloadi t and try it.
[12:17] <as84> well I do an amd 64 :-/
[12:17] <ak5> as84, same kernelVERSION
[12:17] <Starnestommy> and perhaps different kernel config options
[12:17] <joe_nix> hey, is anyone availiable to possibly help me with some driver problems?
[12:17] <as84> I am sorry IndyGunFreak
[12:17] <anabolix> does ubuntu have a defragmenting porgram? or that is not needed on ubuntu?
[12:17] <cRyPt0E> hi guys - has anyone got a solution to this? lets say i have a file name called 'hello world.txt'. i wish to rename this to 'hello world.c'. this file is read only and i would like to use the sudo command. when i stary typing the command at the terminal using 'sudo mv "Hello world.txt" "hell...

[12:18] <potty> can wubi break my windows xp install?
[12:18] <IndyGunFreak> potty: probably..
[12:18] <StavFX> can no one help me with Creox? the Jack server seems to be working fine. i can't figure this thing out
[12:18] <Vistauser> thanks for the help
[12:18] <ak5> potty, everything can brake winxp
[12:19] <IndyGunFreak> potty: why don't you just use the CD like normal people
[12:19] <potty> k i will run ubuntu in vbox then
[12:19] <IndyGunFreak> potty: as long asyou have a backup, it shouldn't be an issue.
[12:19] <rutgermasi> potty: you can always access your files on windows, but you could get the problem that you can't startup windows anymore (then search ubuntu forums)
[12:19] <whileimhere> When I insert a Music CD in to my external USB CDRW to rip to OGG I get the following message when I try to mount it via the applet from the toolbar.

[12:20] <joe_nix> I'm fairly new to ubuntu and I have to install a Nvidia graphics driver for my gfx card so I can display high resolutions, However it works fine when i install it when i have shutdown the x server etc.. But every time i restart ubuntu it completely forgets about my configuration and goes into "safe graphics mode" , So every time i start up ubuntu I have to reinstall the driver. I can pastebin a log file if they exist if it will help. Does anyone know how to
[12:20] <joe_nix>  overcome this?

[12:21] <justAsset_> I'm trying to configure GRUB, but get errors
[12:21] <phoareau> is there any live cd of ubuntu enlightenment?
[12:21] <ak5> yusuo, sudo nano /etc/hosts
[12:21] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: open a terminal and run  "gksudo nvidia-settings" no quotes
[12:21] <msnbot> DEadPuNk" do I have to run the command after closing kdm ??
[12:21] <whileimhere> msnbot: The problem is that I cannot get GRIP to locate the External USB CDRW.
[12:21] <msnbot> DEadPuNk:  do I have to run the command after closing kdm ??
[12:22] <ak5> phoareau, google that
[12:22] <msnbot> whileimhere: Ooh, Never heard of it.
[12:22] <msnbot> :(
[12:22] <joe_nix> IndyGunFreak: Right, thats opened the Nvidia X server settings
[12:22] <msnbot> whileimhere:  msnbot--
[12:22] <phoareau> ak5, ok
[12:22] <ak5> phoareau, tell me if u find one
[12:22] <justAsset_> anyone did what am doin' now?
[12:22] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: ok.. if you ran it w/ gksudo, that should open it with root priv.  then set your resoltion, then apply, then click "Save to X COnfigurationi file".
[12:22] <yusuo> ak5, but how do what is the command i need
[12:23] <ak5> yusuo, i just gave you the command
[12:23] <yusuo> that made no sense
[12:23] <phoareau> ak5, :)
[12:23] <Punker> Hello, how can I get sound on my PC??? Is there any command like alsaconf ...?
[12:23] <yusuo> i personally use gedit to edit conf files i just dont know the line i would add in there to create a well shorter name
[12:23] <ak5> yusuo, open a terminal, then type sudo nano /etc/hosts to edit that file
[12:24] <ak5> yusuo, ahh
[12:24] <joe_nix> IndyGunFreak: Done that, I'll restart and see if the problem still occurs, back in a minute
[12:24] <axel> damn busy here :)
[12:24] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: ok
[12:24] <yusuo> i opened gedit to edit it
[12:24] <yusuo> i can do that
[12:24] <ak5> yusuo, ok you have the file infornt of you?
[12:24] <yusuo> but i just dont know what line to add in the host file
[12:24] <yusuo> #yup
[12:24] <ak5> yusuo, so you see something like <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[12:24] <yusuo> yeah
[12:24] <DEadPuNk> msnbot:  i tried it on ubuntu8.04! well just open a terminal and type the commande! ill just just work after the installation completed
[12:25] <ak5> yusuo,  add the ip of whatever you want to shorten then press <tab >
[12:25] <ak5> yusuo, then add the shortcut name
[12:25] <DEadPuNk> msnbot:  then u reboot and select session KDE4 on the login screen
[12:25] <ak5> yusuo, remember not to use dhcp when relying on this
[12:25] <ak5> yusuo, cause that might screw up
[12:26] <yusuo> thats kinda cool, but its trying to log on with my username
[12:26] <potty> how do i defrag?
[12:26] <yusuo> how do i change the default name for that connection
[12:26] <ak5> yusuo, do root@shorcut
[12:26] <IndyGunFreak> potty: in windows
[12:26] <ak5> yusuo, or whateverusername@shortcut
[12:26] <potty> for reiserfs

[12:27] <yusuo> that sorted it out
[12:27] <ak5> yusuo, it works?
[12:27] <ak5> yusuo, I'm glad
[12:27] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: hmm... that doesn't make sense.. are you using the restricted driver, or a driver you dwonloaded annd compiled, or what?

[12:28] <joe_nix> IndyGunFreak: It says the Nvidia driver is there and enabled, But not in use
[12:29] <cjc> what mean this command sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>???
[12:29]  * faileas is trying to run kubuntu on a dual PII 350... its crawling ;p
[12:29] <wo7ke> hi there, is there some kind of patch list ubuntu uses in their kernel?
[12:29] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: try unchecking it to where it says its not enabled.. and restart.. see if that fixes it.
[12:29] <wo7ke> its kernel
[12:29] <faileas> i half suspect its the HDDs tho, the livecd is gaster
[12:29] <faileas> *faster
[12:29] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: you shoulda used that rather than downloading the .bin file
[12:29] <Starnestommy> cjc: that gives the IP <IP_ADDRESS> to the internet interface eth0
[12:30] <cjc> ok
[12:30] <joe_nix> IndyGunFreak: no, the enabled box is ticked, but theres a red circle next to it that says not in use

[12:30] <Snowball> re
[12:30] <Snowball> ak5, I found a keylogger
[12:30] <ak5> Snowball, works?\
[12:30]  * spass has a problem 'ifconfig rtap0 up --> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument' (ipw2200) help any1?
[12:30] <ere4si> wo7ke: afaik they release a new kernel instead
[12:30] <Snowball> question to everyone:  Where are my keymaps?   I need to set a keymap
[12:30] <hab_> komment on lance des dl XDCC ???
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: wel, i have no idea on that one.. why didn't you just use hardware drivers to set it up?
[12:31] <Snowball> ak5, not yet =)
[12:31] <wo7ke> er4si: but not a plain vanilla kernel, i suppose
[12:31] <ak5> Snowball, system - preferences - keyboard - layout
[12:31] <ere4si> wo7ke: having an issue?
[12:31] <cjc> if my internet is something like <IP_ADDRESS> have i have to replace this "sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>" with this one " sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> ???
[12:31] <hab_> plz, how to dl XDCC ?
[12:31] <cjc> if my internet IP is something like <IP_ADDRESS> have i have to replace this "sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>" with this one " sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> ???
[12:31] <Snowball> the name of the program is "lkl"  (linux key logger)  and it says as an Example:   lkl -l -k keymaps/it_km -o log.file
[12:31] <Starnestommy> hab_: you don't.
[12:31] <wo7ke> ere4si: yeah , my acer extensa 5220 laptop has a problem with hibernation
[12:32] <hab_> lol, legal xdcc of course
[12:32] <Snowball> ak5, I need to know the path =)  and I run KDE *g*
[12:32] <ak5> Snowball, ah
[12:32] <wo7ke> er4si: and i read, that a vanilla kernel might help
[12:32] <ere4si> wo7ke: sorry - don't know about lappys - any google links help?
[12:32] <cjc> right or wron Starnestommy  ???
[12:32] <joe_nix> IndyGunFreak: Didnt know there was one heh, Is there a way to uninstall the one ive installed then?
[12:33] <Starnestommy> cjc: that is correct
[12:33] <wo7ke> er4si: well, its more up to the ubuntu kernel "structure"
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: i would hope.. but i'm really not sure.
[12:33] <ere4si> wo7ke: e.g. acer extensa 5220 ubuntu
[12:33] <cjc> thanx a lot
[12:33] <cjc> ur really good
[12:33] <cjc> bye
[12:33] <ere4si> !tab | wo7ke

[12:34] <wo7ke> !tab
[12:34] <wo7ke> !tab er
[12:34] <IndyGunFreak> joe_nix: if youdon' have a lot vested in your install, might be easier to just reinstalll.
[12:34] <wo7ke> @ere4si how is that tab thing workin?
[12:34] <Starnestommy> wo7ke: try typing the first few letters of someone's nick then press the tab key
[12:34] <wo7ke> wow
[12:34] <ak5> wo7ke, type ere then press <tab> on your keyboard
[12:34] <wo7ke> cool

[12:36] <wo7ke> ere4si: back to topic, im curious in the differences between ubuntu and vanilla kernel
[12:36] <wo7ke> ere4si: yeah , hardy
[12:36] <wo7ke> ere4si: the hibernation problem is a common one with that laptop
[12:37] <DJ> hello...

[12:38] <DJ_P3nd1nG> who know anything about the atl2 lan driver implemention into the kernel?
[12:38] <DJ_P3nd1nG> i only know the atl2 module...

[12:41] <ere4si> wo7ke: sorry
[12:41] <richardG_> thanks bye
[12:41] <wo7ke> ere4si: yeah, the bug is already deprecated
[12:42] <wo7ke> ere4si: but the hibernation thing remains
[12:42] <ere4si> wo7ke:  the kernel isn't vanilla - ubuntu sets it up for it's distro

[12:46] <knnaa> is there any patch that i can download?
[12:46] <SliM1> ere4si: that's not what i want
[12:46] <Ward1983> ak5, indeed
[12:46] <wo7ke> ere4si: oh, so they have their complete own branch
[12:47] <ere4si> wo7ke: seems that way
[12:47] <wo7ke> ere4si: well, thats a little pitty
[12:47] <ere4si> SliM1: it will remove ubuntu - what do you want to do other then that?
[12:47] <SliM1> ere4si: on ubuntu.com there is a "easy uninstall" heading, so i thought that it's easy to go back to gutsy
[12:47] <Fabio_Como> hello i'm trying to download a csv file from http with wget, i think i have some probems with the "file encoding" of the downloaded file, how can i check in which charset is the file i have downloaded? thanks
[12:48] <SliM1> ere4si: to get gutsy back easily
[12:48] <ere4si> SliM1: that's not uninstall - that's downgrade - very hard to do
[12:48] <Fabio_Como> or my basic question is.. how can i check in which charset is a file i've on my filesystem?
[12:48] <larson9999> just install gutsy fresh

[12:51] <devilsadvocate> SliM1, you asked for hardy, right?
[12:51] <Ward1983> SliM1, they probably got lost in the post...
[12:51] <SliM1> devilsadvocate: no, feisty
[12:51] <SliM1> 8 months ago
[12:51] <devilsadvocate> SliM1, oh. ouch
[12:52] <Freshy> in 8.04 how do i set the root password. when i su i get a wrong password error. (but not for packages manager)
[12:52] <Ward1983> can i set up a serial port of my desktop so i can connect to it with another comp with a hyperterminal clone, just like i connect to a router?
[12:52] <Starnestommy> Freshy: use sudo
[12:52] <ere4si> Freshy: sudo passwd
[12:52] <larson9999> Freshy, use sudo instead of su in ubuntu.
[12:52] <Ward1983> if yes: how
[12:52] <larson9999> Freshy that's how to set it but i REALLY think you're better of using sudo
[12:52] <Sp0tter> if i have 3g of ram on my laptop, is  there any reason to have a swap partition other then for hibernation
[12:53] <SliM1> devilsadvocate: i just assumed that the 10 cds weren't approved
[12:53] <SliM1> devilsadvocate: do you know what i can do?
[12:53] <Ward1983> SliM1, they most probably got lost in the mail
[12:53] <Starnestommy> Sp0tter: it's used as reserve space if you start runniing out of RAM
[12:53] <larson9999> i've bot the 'ubuntu locks up on me once or twice a day blues'
[12:53] <devilsadvocate> Freshy, using root is generally not a good idea. sudo -i is recommended over that. if you still want to do it, then you sill have to run sudo passwd root
[12:53] <Freshy> cool thanks
[12:53] <Erosion> 12hi
[12:53] <devilsadvocate> SliM1, no idea
[12:54] <SliM1> Ward1983: such a waste, they were customized CDs :(
[12:54] <hypn0> is cloned output only for dual monitors? in screen resolution prefs
[12:54] <Sp0tter> Starnestommy, right, so with 3g i should never run out of ram so there is no need to have it?
[12:54] <Ward1983> SliM1, most probably the reason why they got lost? :p
[12:55] <Starnestommy> Sp0tter: you might want to make a 1gb swap partition just in case
[12:55] <Ward1983> SliM1, but what does it mather, the content is the same as any other CD :)
[12:55] <Ward1983> just order the new one
[12:55] <Ward1983> SliM1, or even better go to a release party then you get a customised one too
[12:55] <Sp0tter> That's why i'm here, to elimate the 'just in case' by finding the answer   :)
[12:56] <Starnestommy> Sp0tter: you can run without one for now and create one in the future if you think you'll need it
[12:56] <Sp0tter> oky doky
[12:56] <RootIC> helo
[12:56] <SliM1> Ward1983: well, i requested a few extra development tools pre-installed
[12:56] <RootIC> anyone from serbia around there ?
[12:56] <Freshy> do you have to be root to do the definition update for aegis virus scanner?
[12:56] <SliM1> Ward1983: that's what i mean by customised, not just pretty colours :P
[12:57] <devilsadvocate> Freshy, probably not. sudo should be adequate
[12:57] <Ward1983> SliM1, lol ffs, they are not going to press you 10 custom CDs....
[12:58] <Ward1983> SliM1, im fairly sure they expect you to do that kindof stuff yourself and bake a CD
[12:58] <SliM1> Ward1983: maybe you're right, but i won't be able to find it out now, will i?
[12:58] <SliM1> :P
[12:58] <Ward1983> SliM1, you can be sure you wouldnt have received 10 custom pressed CDs
[12:58] <Ward1983> lol
[12:58] <Rhodetrem> is there a way I can backup my windows partition while running ubuntu (i.e. not booting into a LiveCD for partimage?)
[12:58] <SliM1> Ward1983: no, i cannot :)
[12:59] <Gfdking> .
[12:59] <Ward1983> "hello factory, this is canonical speaking, yes we need 10 custom CDs because someone requested them"

[13:03] <linxuz3r> anyone can help me with dual monitor display?
[13:03] <daftykins> any news on a patched kernel making it into Ubuntu for Xen 3.2.0 functionality?
[13:03] <daftykins> linxuz3r what gfx?
[13:04] <Dimensions> Hiya .... I have a couple of Cranberry SC20 units ... i tried to install ubuntu latest version over it ... but it gives Kernel error ... saying the system is very old for it ... Which version of Ubuntu is the lightest and stable that i can install on these systems ... i wont mind 4.10 even though ... but it needs to be stable and lighter ... .
[13:04] <daftykins> install debian if you want lightweight
[13:04] <daftykins> :P
[13:04] <linxuz3r> nvidia
[13:05] <SliM1> what's the difference between ubuntu CDs and ubuntu DVDs
[13:05] <SliM1> ?
[13:05] <daftykins> running 8.04 linxuz3r ?
[13:05] <daftykins> of ubuntu
[13:05] <Starnestommy> SliM1: I think there's more stuff on the DVDs
[13:05] <linxuz3r> yes
[13:05] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" in terminal
[13:06] <devilsadvocate> linxuz3r, you can use xrandr (which is supposed to be for this sort of thing), but im afraid i dont know the details
[13:06] <ere4si> SliM1: the dvds have all the packages - the cds have the basics only for a working desktop
[13:06] <daftykins> nvidia-settings is better.
[13:06] <SliM1> ok, thanks
[13:06] <Dimensions> daftykins: i'm doing it for my office .... and we have ubuntu on other systems deployed around the world  (which are not cranberries) and all of them are having ubuntu already ... so wouldn't want to change it from ubuntu ...
[13:07] <TheFourthOne>  Does anyone know if it's possible to split the large ubuntustudio iso into 2 smaller iso's that can be burned on CD-R's? I dont have a DVD burner
[13:07] <Dimensions> TheFourthOne: why not download CD version...
[13:07] <TheFourthOne> I  couldnt find one
[13:08] <devilsadvocate> Dimensions, for lightweight i say you could install ubuntu-server and then install some lightweight window manager. if you want xfce then you can go straight for xubuntu, or you could try something like fluxbox. i dont know about the kernel issue though
[13:08] <TheFourthOne> Dimensions: Do you know where I can find one?
[13:09] <InterestedPanthe> In Sound Preferences, when I click on the Sounds, I can hear them play (log in and log out for example).  However, when I log in and out I never hear them.  Additionally, FireFox won't play any sounds, but every other application works.  I've reinstalled the flash (directly from adobe) without success trying to fix FF.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
[13:09] <Dimensions> TheFourthOne: on ubuntu download page they have a download for cd ... its abt 700 MB
[13:10] <daftykins> you don't install flash from adobe in ubuntu, you go to a webpage in firefox that uses flash and use the installer that comes up to install either Flash or Gnash
[13:10] <Dimensions> devilsadvocate: .... the main issue is kernel issue ... which version i can use with old kernels ... i have used 6.06 when it was released alot but dont know abt the previous ones ... were they good enough ???
[13:11] <InterestedPanthe> daftykins: I've done that, too.  I'm 8.04 with the 3 beta.  I've read the FF issue is widespread. :(
[13:11] <daftykins> hmm maybe something to do with it containing firefox 3 beta 5
[13:11] <RainCT> Hi
[13:12] <InterestedPanthe> Are you running 8.04?  If so, does FF2 work with sound?  I could go back until it's stable.  (It is the default FF in 8.04)
[13:13] <TheFourthOne> Dimensions: Thank you
[13:13] <RainCT> How can I let the volume up/down shortcuts (from gnome-keybinding-properties) change the PCM volume instead of Master?
[13:13] <Dimensions> yw TheFourthOne

[13:15] <fac3less> erland -- I've been using rsync -avz /home/* ;)
[13:15] <fac3less> But it would be cool if there was a proper export function
[13:15] <daftykins> what's up with it ricanelite ?
[13:15] <fac3less> Because I love syncing my desktop to my laptop
[13:15] <erland> fac3less: what's that?
[13:15] <whileimhere> What is a good email client to use with Gmail? I know that there is the one made by mozilla but I really never liked it.
[13:16] <fac3less> erland it's a command
[13:16] <daftykins> thunderbird is great
[13:16] <fac3less> whileimhere -- try evolution
[13:16] <InterestedPanthe> daftykins: Thanks, let me give it a shot (FF2).
[13:16] <InterestedPanthe> whileimhere: Evolution is nice if you don't like Thunderbird.
[13:16] <whileimhere> okay. I see that one already installed.
[13:16] <RainCT> whileimhere: thunderbird or evolution for Ubuntu, on Kubuntu there's kmail afaik

[13:16] <Tyrion> Does anyone know how to get the properitery cisco client to run with the Network Manager ??
[13:17] <daftykins> not only installed already, but it's got an icon next to the apps menu, one of the first things you see in ubuntu
[13:17] <ricanelite> I have virutalbox installed and the settings are fine as well. The thing is when I try to install the Windows Vista OS onto the Vbox. I enter the Vista Install CD in and it loads up but it It seems not to do anything it just stays on the windows that says Loading Files
[13:17] <RainCT> flemnos: thanks
[13:17] <daftykins> do you not get the progress bar at all?
[13:17] <vega--> what is the "right way" to disable a kernel module from loading at boot (in this case pcspkr) ?
[13:17] <daftykins> have you given the VM enough RAM ricanelite ?
[13:18] <m1r> vega--: blacklist it
[13:18] <ere4si> vega--: try   sudo modprobe -r  pcspkr
[13:19] <vega--> ere4si: that just unloads it
[13:19] <vega--> m1r: .. how to do that? i guess there's a file somewhere
[13:19] <RainCT> vega--: you've to write "blacklist <module name>" into a file
[13:19] <vega--> m1r: i know there's /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but is that the right place?
[13:19] <RainCT> vega--: let me search what it's name was..
[13:19] <RainCT> vega--: yes, that's it
[13:19] <m1r> vega--: yes
[13:20] <vega--> RainCT: m1r: ok, thanks for confirming
[13:20] <m1r> nps vega--
[13:20] <ere4si> vega--: from man modprobe - -r --remove        This option causes modprobe to remove, rather than insert a module
[13:21] <ricanelite> um 1000mb
[13:21] <vega--> ere4si: yes... but the question was how to prevent from loading at boot time
[13:21] <RainCT> ere4si: that doesn't have any permanent effect, once you reboot it's loaded again
[13:21] <ricanelite> and I have 2gigs of ram
[13:21] <danbhfive> what is the IcedTea project?
[13:22] <mnemo> danbhfive: something with java
[13:22] <ere4si> vega--: RainCT it works here on this box - as does modprobe -i
[13:22] <RainCT> ok, new question.. how can I let the eject key binding eject the disc from my DVD drive instead of from my CD drive?
[13:23] <ricanelite> if anyone heads to this website http://www.kfi640.com/main.html <~~clicks on the listen now button does anything happen?
[13:23] <daftykins> i think the real question is what's wrong with using the physical buttons and not retarded keyboard shortcuts :P
[13:23] <vega--> RainCT: man eject
[13:23] <vega--> ah, key shortcut, never mind
[13:23] <siml1> hi. i cant play a sound in firefox and rhythmbox at the same time. someone here who has a solution or a hint?
[13:24] <RainCT> daftykins: heh. dunno.. they are cool :)
[13:24] <daftykins> no they're really, really not
[13:24] <daftykins> keyboard shortcuts are for cheap family package PCs from the early years of this century, marketed to stupid families who need buttons to run browsers and email clients 'cause "apparently" the windows start menu is too cryptic for them
[13:24] <daftykins> ;)

[13:26] <RainCT> quentusrex: cat "line" >> file
[13:26] <RainCT> quentusrex: the >> means append; > is (over)write
[13:27] <RainCT> solexious: with VirtualBox or any other of the emulators around there.. Google should give you lots of tutorials on how to use them
[13:27] <solexious> ty
[13:27] <CShadowRun> Hey, i changed an applications command in the Main menu editor, and it's plain ignoring me
[13:28] <quentusrex> and what's the newline character for that?
[13:28] <zerodamage> Hello, does anyone have problems with the screen going blank after the ubuntu splash, when using nvidia drivers? Does anyone know how to fix this?
[13:28] <quentusrex> if I want to add three lines, and have them on different lines?
[13:28] <CShadowRun> zerodamage download the latest version of ubuntu, it's been fixed now
[13:28] <RainCT> quentusrex: \n
[13:28] <quentusrex> echo "line1\nline2\nline3">>output.txt
[13:28] <zerodamage> I have 8.04 ?
[13:29] <CShadowRun> zerodamage weird, that was fixed. I had that problem and now i don't.
[13:29] <fhfu> hi
[13:29] <fhfu> i use firestarter to connect to internet
[13:29] <RainCT> quentusrex: uh.. thought that worked
[13:29] <zerodamage> I dont know why, I have tried to install using Envy, using restricted drivers, using manual install
[13:29] <fhfu> i use firestarter to share the  internet connection
[13:30] <fhfu> but not working ?
[13:30] <fhfu> but not working
[13:30] <LaneLimited> Does anyone here use Yahoo message with wine on Ubuntu?
[13:30] <ricanelite> is there a IRC for virtualbox or vmware?
[13:30] <RainCT> quentusrex: using real line breaks isn't the ideal solution, or? :P
[13:30] <zerodamage> Tried, nvidia-glx-new, glx-legacy,  glx
[13:30] <CShadowRun> ricanelite www.searchirc.com
[13:30] <faileas> vmware yes, virtualbox no idea ricanelite
[13:30] <siml1> RainCT thx this works
[13:30] <fhfu> when i try to start the firewall
[13:30] <faileas> hmm
[13:30] <SDFEW> hey.. i have a question about hamachi. i've installed it using a script file i found, ghamachi, the gui is up and running, and i can see the list of nicks and ip adresses in gui or terminal... but i cant ping or connect to them...
[13:30] <faileas> have they fixed the repo version on vmware server yet?
[13:30] <ricanelite> faileas, do you use vmware?
[13:30] <m1r> one question, can wine catch a virus ? :D
[13:31] <fhfu> it display unable to start firestarter what to do ???
[13:31] <CShadowRun> I changed a programs command in the main menu editor (The applications menu), and the change will not take effect.
[13:31] <zerodamage> Theres no errors, and I cant acces the terminal, no logs
[13:31] <SDFEW> it says "opreation is not permitted"
[13:31] <faileas> ricanelite: used to, i can't get it to work on hardy tho
[13:31] <CShadowRun> I've even tried changing it to gedit and it launches completely the wrong application
[13:31] <RainCT> siml1: np :)
[13:31] <ricanelite> okay
[13:31] <faileas> m1r: no
[13:31] <quentusrex> that didn't work
[13:31] <killaz> hiya there
[13:31] <quentusrex> for some reason the \n aren't converted into line breaks
[13:31] <ricanelite> faileas, that was going to be my next question
[13:31] <erland> Hi, which files should I copy to migrate my settings from one ubuntu install to another (laptop to desktop) - without a network connection?
[13:31] <m1r> faileas: that means it is safer to use wine then windows in matter of infections ?
[13:31] <killaz> I'm trying to install a core gnome desktop
[13:32] <RainCT> quentusrex: echo -e
[13:32] <vega--> i'm having a problem with the user switcher applet: one user doesn't show up in it for some reason, where should i start debugging?
[13:32] <killaz> So I started with an installation of the server CD
[13:32] <vega--> ie. does someone know on what basis it selects the users in it
[13:32] <ricanelite> can someone head over to this website  http://www.kfi640.com/main.html   and click on the Listen Now button do you hear anything?
[13:32] <RainCT> quentusrex: for ex.  echo -e "a\nb\nc\n" >> /tmp/blah
[13:32] <quentusrex> thanks
[13:32] <MeRodent> Can anyone tell me the mount point for network drives?
[13:32] <faileas> m1r: well at the end of the day, its a matter of using your head, but yeah, wine isn't *that* featurecomplete with windows ;p
[13:32] <adante> is it possible for a zombie process to lock a port?
[13:32] <killaz> I'm reading somwehere that I need to install the linux-386 is this correct?
[13:33] <DJ_P3nd1nG> RE
[13:33] <RainCT> quentusrex: (note that you'll have to escape backslaches then if you want to use them. so, \ would be written as \\)
[13:33] <RainCT> quentusrex: no problem :)
[13:33] <m1r> faileas: :D
[13:33] <erland> Help please: which files should I copy to migrate settings between 2 ubuntu machines?
[13:33] <killaz> the reason why I'm installing the core is because it will be a pc connecte to my tv acting as a FileServer, MediaServer and Webserver
[13:34] <zerodamage> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix blank screens after splash, when using Nvidia drivers? (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed)
[13:34] <RainCT> erland: depends on what settings you want to migrate, but basically copying your home directory should do
[13:34] <devilsadvocate> erland, all the stuff in your home directory (all the hidden files and folders) and /etc for system wide settings
[13:34] <killaz> but I want once in the while to be able to check the internet on my TV
[13:34] <erland> RainCT & devilsadvocate: I tried that and it killed my 2nd machine - kept locking up & dying
[13:35] <killaz> do I really need the linux-386 installation if I started from the server edition?
[13:35] <vega--> just copying /etc over to another machine might be a bit dangerous
[13:35] <devilsadvocate> erland, /etc has a lot of hw dependent settings too
[13:35] <devilsadvocate> erland, you have to sort of know which settings you want to migrate and move only those
[13:35] <faileas> m1r: seriously. never ever got viruses on windows. i'm on ubuntu mainly cause i like some things better
[13:35] <erland> devilsadvocate: as in I shouldn't copy /etc or I should?
[13:36] <zerodamage> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix blank screens after splash, when using Nvidia drivers? (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed)
[13:36] <m1r> faileas: good for you, i am one of those with "advanced features" turned on in wondows :D
[13:36] <RainCT> erland: yeh, /etc isn't a good idea. if you have changed a files there copy just those files that you have changes
[13:36] <RainCT> s/a//
[13:36] <devilsadvocate> erland, dont copy /etc as it is. however, if you have, say, and ftp server that you want to have on the other machine too, you can copy just those specific files from one to the other (and of course, install the software on the other maching with apt
[13:37] <m1r> RainCT: what if u moving /etc to same machine ? then it should be ok ?
[13:37] <solexious> Does any one know of a graphical irc client for ubuntu, similar to mirc, not bitchx
[13:37] <solexious> ?*
[13:37] <devilsadvocate> solexious, xchat
[13:37] <RainCT> m1r: yes but if you have a different Ubuntu version there I still don't recommend it
[13:37] <solexious> ty
[13:38] <m1r> RainCT: , 2 same machines, both ubuntu 8.04
[13:38] <zerodamage> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix blank screens after splash, when using Nvidia drivers? (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed)
[13:38] <faileas> solid_liq: xchat?
[13:38] <killaz> and th reason why I wan the gnome-core is I dont want to have apps installed which is not needed.
[13:38] <faileas> erm
[13:38] <RainCT> m1r: well, basically the first question you should ask you is: have I touched any file in /etc?
[13:38] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, i tries fixing it and sort of gave up. its not exactly a driver issue, and has something to do with the framebuffer. the driver comes into the picture later in the game (as i understand it)
[13:38] <faileas> oops
[13:39] <RainCT> m1r: if the answer is not, then you don't need them. if the answer is yes, try to remember what files it where and copy them, or duplicate the changes you did
[13:39] <maxwell888> I keep getting this error in my Kern.log  usb 1-6:  usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hald-addon-usb- rqt 192 rq 9 len 8 ret -110
[13:39] <maxwell888> My mouse tends to freeze after this.    But the error is still coming up.  I haven't had a mouse freeze yet though
[13:40] <maxwell888> Any ideas what this is?
[13:40] <zerodamage> Ok, it just **** because it gives no description of the ***** error
[13:40] <laeg> i am having troulbe getting sound in wine when vlc is running in the background - i have tried to remove pulse audio by selecting alsa for all options in system > preferences > sound but i still have no success - how can i fix this?
[13:41] <CShadowRun> Can anybody help me? I'm editing the applications menu with alacarte and my changes have no effect at all.
[13:41] <Sarah> hi, do i need to install anything prior to installing x-sensors from that add/remove programs?
[13:41] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, i agree. and its not spoken about much online either
[13:41] <m1r> RainCT: ok , think i got the idea:) tnx
[13:41] <Starnestommy> Sarah: add/remove will automatically install anything that x-sensors needs when you install it
[13:41] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, to help reduce my blood pressure, i ended changing the boot arguments to just quiet from quiet splash
[13:41] <speedexe> heloo
[13:42] <RainCT> m1r: the really important stuff are the hidden files from your home directory, which contain the configuration and data (when applicable) of all your applications
[13:42] <RainCT> m1r: yw
[13:42] <Sarah> Starnestommy, ok i thought so, i just think it wont work because last time i tried it never worked, but this is a new install so i'll see what happens this time
[13:42] <zerodamage> Its like its just something you have to live with, but if that is the case, I will just uninstall ubuntu (till I calm down)
[13:42] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, i not 100% sure, but i _think_ my problem was solved in hardy. that computer is about 1600 km away so i cant confirm, though
[13:42] <zerodamage> Right
[13:42] <RainCT> Sarah: iirc there's some problem with xsensors
[13:42] <Sarah> oh
[13:42] <kripz> is there alternatives to network-manager? i need something with more features that has a gui
[13:42] <zerodamage> You do understand that I am unable to use this computer if nvidia drivers are installed?
[13:43] <zerodamage> I cant log in
[13:43] <m1r> RainCT: what about replicating all software from one machien to other? that is all hidden in /etc, right ?
[13:43] <quentusrex> Anyone know how to use sqlite? I'm trying to dump permissions from one sqlite file, and import them into another file. The problem is that the new file already has some permissions in it
[13:43] <Sarah> does gkrellm work alright on ubuntu? i noticed it isnt in that add/remove list, but i like it
[13:43]  * RainCT got a possible fix for it ready but it didn't get into Hardy at time
[13:43] <Sarah> id probably like ti better than x sensors anyway
[13:43] <binarycodes> kripz: did you try wicd?
[13:43] <kripz> binarycodes, even less features
[13:43] <Smegzor> A process is sending/recieving a very small amount of internet traffic constantly but I can't easily tell whats doing it.  Is there a utility that details which process is responsible for the traffic?
[13:43] <binarycodes> :O
[13:43] <kripz> binarycodes, in terms of security
[13:43] <binarycodes> oh
[13:43] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, not able to log in?
[13:44] <binarycodes> well, then i surrender
[13:44] <ganteng> learningskils.blogspot.com
[13:44] <kripz> =)
[13:44] <RainCT> m1r: installing the same applications you mean? no, they are all around the filesystem (binaries in /bin, /sbin/, /usr/bin or /usr/games, data in /usr/share/, global configuration in /etc, etc.)
[13:44] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, the drivers kick in somewher down the line and gdm opens fine...
[13:44] <RainCT> m1r: you can get a list of all installed packages and install them on the new PC if you wnat, though
[13:44] <binarycodes> kripz: btw, you can always setup firewalls
[13:44] <RainCT> m1r: (if you're interested I can tell you what the command for that would be)
[13:44] <m1r> rainct, how can one do that *
[13:44] <kripz> binarycodes, im actually trying to connect to a network, not create one
[13:44] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, which nvidia card do you have?
[13:44] <Sarah> also, when i reboot or shutdown i see a bunch of dbus errors, is that anything major? i looked in the logs but i can't see the errors there though so i'm not sure what they say
[13:45] <zerodamage> Yesterday, i waited 45 minutes, no drivers worked
[13:45] <Starnestommy> m1r: the irc /me command?
[13:45] <zerodamage> (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed)
[13:45] <RainCT> m1r: also, if you don't want to download the packages again many of them should still be /var/cache/apt/archive; you can copy the files from there over to the other machine
[13:45] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, turn off the splash, and remove quiet. see how far the boot gets
[13:45] <Pelo> I've been getting random lockups since a reboot yesterday I had a 5 day uptime before that,  have we heard anytrhing ?
[13:45] <ganteng> learningskils.blogspot.com
[13:45] <zerodamage> Ok
[13:46] <zerodamage> Where do i do that?
[13:46] <laeg> i am having troulbe getting sound in wine when vlc is running in the background - i have tried to remove pulse audio by selecting alsa for all options in system > preferences > sound but i still have no success - how can i fix this?

[13:46] <m1r> RainCT: so copy files from main machine /var/cache/apt/archive to 2nd machine , then install programs u mean ?*
[13:46] <georgeguitar> I need help with the frequency scale applet
[13:46] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, when you look at the grub menu, press ´e´, then edit the first line, remove the last two words
[13:46] <Pelo> georgeguitar, better ask the actual question
[13:47] <Ward1983> how do i set up a serial terminal in ubuntu?
[13:47] <zerodamage> where is the grub menu?, is it where you choose between normal and recovery boot?
[13:47] <RainCT> m1r: yes. I'm trying to think of a command to get a list of all installed programs, will tell you in a moment
[13:47] <devilsadvocate> Ward1983, a serial terminal?
[13:47] <Starnestommy> zerodamage: yes
[13:47] <devilsadvocate> zerodamage, yeah
[13:47] <m1r> RainCT: ok tnx
[13:47] <zerodamage> Right, ill try that now
[13:47] <devilsadvocate> Ward1983, do you mean something like hyperterminal in windows?
[13:48] <Ward1983> devilsadvocate, correct, just like for isntance professional routers and switches, etc use
[13:48] <georgeguitar> ok, the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor is working in my laptop but I can't change to any frequency
[13:48] <ganteng> learningskils.blogspot.com
[13:48] <Ward1983> devilsadvocate, just to test something, i know about ssh :)
[13:48] <CShadowRun> Is anyone going to help me with alacarte being broken?
[13:48] <CShadowRun> This is seriously annoying.
[13:48] <Pelo> RainCT, m1r dpjkg --get-selections > mypackages
[13:48] <jrib> CShadowRun: be more specific
[13:49] <devilsadvocate> Ward1983, well, if you just want a terminal that can talk on serial port, there are a few good ones. The gtk one i use most often is gtkterm. the serial port is at /dev/ttyS0
[13:49] <RainCT> m1r: dpkg -l | cut -d' ' -f3 | grep -v '=' | grep -v '(' | xargs echo > filelist
[13:49] <RainCT> m1r: ok, Pelo's is better
[13:49] <Pelo> CShadowRun, what'S the issues ?
[13:49] <CShadowRun> jrib i change menu items commands in alacarte, it has no effect.
[13:49] <georgeguitar> and when I use the command cpufreq-info I got this: hi I need help with the frequency scale applet
[13:49] <IndyGunFreak> CShadowRun: why is it broken and whats the prob?
[13:49] <m1r> pelo , RainCT tnx :)
[13:49] <georgeguitar> sorry I got this: current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 1.60 GHz.
[13:49] <CShadowRun> Litrally, i even tried changing an existing icon to run gedit, and it still runs portal -_-
[13:49] <CShadowRun> It just completely ignores what i have set in there.
[13:50] <jrib> CShadowRun: pastebin output of: find ~/.config ~/.local ! -user $USER
[13:50] <IndyGunFreak> CShadowRun: lol, thst pretty unusual, i change stuff there all the time?
[13:50] <Nikunj93> hello
[13:50] <Nikunj93> everyone
[13:50] <Pelo> georgeguitar,  did you actualy install cpufreq or another cpu scaling app ? the applet is not the only thig needed

[13:50] <CShadowRun> jrib it doesn't give any output
[13:50] <linkmaster03> is there an environment varible for the current date?

[13:51] <Oli``> It looks like my home volume is locked up. It's RAID1 (MDRAID) and read/write operations are taking forever and it's lagging everything. Any idea how I can find out what's going on?
[13:51] <georgeguitar> yes I installed this program: cpufreqd
[13:51] <m1r> Pelo , RainCT , now i got list of packages , how can i prepare them for transfer to dvd so i can install/replicate them on 2nd machine =?
[13:51] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: you would need to change some permission somewhere in the /proc area
[13:51] <jrib> CShadowRun: you may have some in ~/.local/share/applications/
[13:51] <Nikunj93> so any help?
[13:51] <jrib> !helpme | Nikunj93
[13:51] <linkmaster03> Pelo: how would I use that, i'm trying to save an image to [date].png
[13:52] <binarycodes> Pelo: echo $TODAY doesn't work
[13:52] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: searching my brain for the correct file .....

[13:56] <lassesandberg42> thank you starnestommy and binarycodes
[13:56] <Nikunj93> binarycodes are u my friend [matrix] ?
[13:56] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: to temporarily disable it, hit F2 then run "metacity --replace" in that box
[13:56] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: its in your home folder, ~/.bashrc

[13:58] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: is it firefox 3 beta 5 or firefox 2?
[13:58] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: could you try to re-add the gnome-cpufreq-applet to the panel?
[13:58] <raded> only dts/ac3 encoded sound works.
[13:58] <Enselic> Oli``: nothing to worry about
[13:58] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: 3 beta 5
[13:58] <georgeguitar> I tried with this but I didn't work:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[13:58] <laeg> how do i disable compiz? it is breaking wine, or wine is breaking it
[13:58] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: now just run that .bashrc one
[13:59] <RainCT> Nikunj93: if you want to switch often between compiz and metacity, there's a tray icon for that: fusion-icon
[13:59] <binarycodes> like ./.bashrc
[13:59] <umop> How can i format a usb flash drive if its read only? or how do i remount it so its not read only?
[13:59] <binarycodes> and use it like $DATE
[13:59] <hon> how can I change keyboard mappings, not just for X server?
[13:59] <RainCT> laeg: Alt + F2, execute   metacity --replace
[13:59] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: im not getting u what icon?
[13:59] <RainCT> laeg: and see what I've just said to Nikunj93
[13:59] <legend2440> CShadowRun: have you tried running alacarte as root to see if it makes a difference? gksudo alacarte
[13:59] <DarkRainbow> I tried to install Ubuntu, and it loaded Partition manager. Then i choose manual and pressed next, just to see what "manual" was. Went eating when it was loading, and when i came back, i had an error manager. I first thought that Ubuntu haad deleted my windows partition, but every file/picture is here. Only problem is that the "Guided" alternative in partition manager is gone, its just
[13:59] <georgeguitar> why this command tells me:  current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 1.60 GHz.
[13:59] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: there might be a bug related to firefox 3 and jpeg images.  Let me check launchpad.net and mozilla's site for bugs
[13:59] <jrib> legend2440: ugh, that's going to mess up permissions
[13:59] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: hangon while i test it out on another computer with cpufreq enabled
[13:59] <DarkRainbow> its just "Guided: overwrite everything" or manual
[14:00] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: ok :)
[14:00] <CShadowRun> legend2440 then it's running as the root user and won't edit my users menu :p
[14:00] <georgeguitar> buiboon: ok
[14:00] <RainCT> DarkRainbow: strange. have you tried re-starting the installer?
[14:00]  * binarycodes goes to get some food, so hungry, lol :P
[14:00] <legend2440> CShadowRun: ok right
[14:00] <DarkRainbow> Yes
[14:00] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: how enable compiz again will ccsm in  compiz do?
[14:00] <CShadowRun> I think i'll have to manually remove every single menu item and then add new ones in to replace them
[14:00] <CShadowRun> So annoying.
[14:00] <DarkRainbow> Rebooted the computer, but the alternative is still gone
[14:00] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: I tried sudo ./.bashrc and this shows "sudo: ./.bashrc: command not found"
[14:00] <Oli``> Enselic: easy to say but what's going on? everything's lagging like a whore
[14:00] <raded> yesterday stereo sound stopped working in ubuntu 8.04. only ac3/dts encoded sound worked. then  i reinstalled ubuntu, and everything was working perfect. until now. it just stopped working  again.

[14:02] <DarkRainbow> What is the "Install in windows" alternative
[14:02] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: u were telling me about an icon
[14:03] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: I don't remember saying anything abouot an icon
[14:03] <DarkRainbow> Same as usual?

[14:03] <laeg> *installed
[14:03] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy: U told me about an icon to switch betweenn compiz and metacity
[14:03] <laeg> RainCT: hold that thought
[14:03] <DarkRainbow> How do i use the manual partition?
[14:03] <raded> Nikunj93: compiz-fusion-icon
[14:04] <RainCT> laeg: it's not an applet, but a tray icon
[14:04] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: There seems to be a bug with image rendering and nvidia cards: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411831
[14:04] <RainCT> laeg: you'll find it in Applications -> Utilities
[14:04] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: I tried sudo ./.bashrc and this shows "sudo: ./.bashrc: command not found"
[14:04] <jrib> DarkRainbow: which part doesn't make sense?
[14:04] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: no, you need to be in your  home directory first to execute that command
[14:04] <RainCT> laeg: (to have it start automatically, add it to System -> Pref. -> Sessions)
[14:04] <DarkRainbow> I cant figure out how to make a new partition

[14:05] <raded> yesterday stereo sound stopped working in ubuntu 8.04. only ac3/dts encoded sound worked. then  i reinstalled ubuntu, and everything was working perfect. until now. it just stopped working  again.
[14:05] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: try running with the nvidia drivers disabled
[14:05] <raded> .mp3 and system sounds, etc. is not working at all
[14:05] <Nikunj93> ok
[14:05] <raded> using spdif
[14:05] <joe_nix> My nvidia driver is totally not working and screwing up a hell of a lot, Ive tried installing the shell script off the nvidia website, and the restricted drivers off the ubuntu package search, And every time i turn my computer on it asks for the monitor and graphics card settings, but It's clearly set in the xorg.conf file.
[14:05] <jrib> linkmaster03: erm, you just want to do: . ~/.bashrc
[14:05] <bazhang> Ishikawa, not here please
[14:05] <DarkRainbow> But i will try again
[14:05] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: oh sorry, yes jrib is right
[14:05] <laeg> RainCT: i don't have a utilities dir under applications
[14:05] <linkmaster03> jrib: thanks
[14:05] <laeg> RainCT: i installed via synaptic package manager
[14:06] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: that weird. i got it running by answering yes for the $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[14:06] <CShadowRun> legend2440 i changed my theme to the default theme, the error goes away, the actual issue remains.
[14:06] <laeg> RainCT: it's under system tools. when i switch to metacity and load wine and then switch to another workspace wine is still following me
[14:06] <Nikunj93> raded: where to get that compiz fusion icon?
[14:06] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: I got it working now how would I refer to it in a parameter of a shell script
[14:07] <legend2440> CShadowRun: running compiz?
[14:07] <binarycodes> just use $DATE
[14:07] <RainCT> laeg: er.. Accessories?
[14:07] <laeg> Nikunj93: synaptic package manager
[14:07] <raded> look in ur menu
[14:07] <CShadowRun> legend2440 yes
[14:07] <RainCT> laeg: dunno how it's called in english
[14:07] <Nikunj93> Starnestommy:  after disabling NVIDIA drivers shall i reboot and try
[14:07] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: oh ok thank  you
[14:07] <laeg> RainCT: it's in system tools :)
[14:07] <binarycodes> type echo $DATE and  see if it works

[14:07] <legend2440> CShadowRun: same thing with compiz off?
[14:07] <raded> .mp3 and system sounds, etc. is not working at all
[14:07] <laeg> RainCT: did you see my other question? i meant to keep it all on one line
[14:07] <RainCT> Nikunj93: fusion-icon, not compiz-fusion-icon
[14:07] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: humm, but here it's not working, when I select a different frequency than 100% it doesn't change
[14:07] <enry_> .ircitalia.net
[14:07] <jrib> CShadowRun: you never told me if what I asked you to do worked
[14:07] <Starnestommy> Nikunj93: yes.  If it works, then the problem was with the drivers.  If it still doesn't work, switch back to the nvidia drivers
[14:08] <Enselic> raded: is sound completely broken, or does some sound playback work?
[14:08] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: it continues 100%
[14:08] <RainCT> laeg: I guess you haven't marked the 'always on the active workspace' option of the window?
[14:08] <raded> Enselic: only dts and ac3 works. EVERYTHING else is broken
[14:08] <CShadowRun> jrib editing the desktop? yea i did. It didn't work.
[14:08] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: could you post the result of $cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies into pastebin?
[14:08] <jrib> CShadowRun: then it's not an alacarte issue right?
[14:08] <ruiboon> !pastebin | georgeguitar
[14:09] <CShadowRun> jrib i suppose not, it's a gnome menu issue then?
[14:09] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: is there a way to set the month name and time to $MONTH and $TIME
[14:09] <CShadowRun> which i guess makes it even worse :p
[14:09] <laeg> RainCT: no because i'm running it in full screen - it would be sweet if i could someone set it to not be always in active workspace
[14:09] <jrib> CShadowRun: pastebin the .desktop you are referring to
[14:09] <ak5> omg my xubuntu install keeps on stoping (no error message) at 75% (storing language)
[14:09] <ak5> anyone had something like this happen?
[14:09] <anders__> ak-, yes, defect media
[14:09] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: yes offcourse what i wrote is just for date
[14:09] <ak5> anders__, I md5summed it
[14:10] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: see the man page for date,"man date" and just use the parameters you want
[14:10] <kripz> any other wireless managers apart from wicd, wifi radar and network manager??
[14:10] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: thank you
[14:10] <RainCT> laeg: but you know that it's switching the desktop? (might be that the application intercepts the Ctrl+Right/Left, if it's fullscreen)
[14:10] <CShadowRun> jrib http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=15582
[14:11] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: for example export DATE=`date +"%d.%m.%Y"`
[14:11] <kripz> any other wireless managers apart from wicd, wifi radar and network manager that has a gui??
[14:11] <Sarah> when i open this 'computertemp' package to install, i get the message saying there is a newer version in a software channel, what does that mean? it's not listed in the add/remove programs thing
[14:11] <binarycodes> linkmaster03: welcome :)
[14:11] <linkmaster03> binarycodes: awesome thanks so much for your time
[14:11] <RainCT> Sarah: look in System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[14:11] <adam7> kripz: I don't think so
[14:11] <raded> Enselic: any clue?
[14:11] <binarycodes> kripz: i dont know if it depends on network manager, but i use netapplet
[14:11] <Jamiesss> hey , anyone got any idea wat way 2 setup horde with cyrus, ldap , imap , postfix server ?
[14:11] <RainCT> Sarah: Add/Remove doesn't list all available programs, only those thatwill be shown in the menu after you install them
[14:12] <laeg> RichiH: it's definitely switching workspace - because i see the new workspace for a second - and then wine jumps into it
[14:12] <Sarah> oh righ
[14:12] <Sarah> right*
[14:12] <Enselic> raded: is wav broken?
[14:12] <Sarah> thanks RainCT

[14:16] <bibstha> yep
[14:16] <Enselic> raded: ok so let's see what we have so far: you can open a wav in VLC, but when you try to play it you get no sound. You can open an ac3 in VLC, and when you play it you _do_ get sound
[14:16] <barfman_> RainCT, that's what i'm trying to figure out.
[14:16] <binarycodes> barfman_: 19683^(1/9)

[14:22] <RainCT> what was the key combination to enable scrolling in screen (the command)?
[14:22] <douglas> Hey, is the Linksys WUSB54GS supported on hardy?
[14:22] <DarkRainbow> Hello, i can not install ubuntu. I had three partition options, Dontremember, "Guided: Use whole disk" and "Manual"
[14:22] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: try $sudo cpufreq-selector -f 1199997
[14:23] <erUSUL> bibstha: dunno really :-/
[14:23] <raded> Enselic: ok
[14:23] <bibstha> :-)
[14:23] <Mokaa> hi all !
[14:23] <gidna> How can I return to the sound of 7.10?
[14:23] <DarkRainbow> Dontremember was the easy one, with Windows | Linux, and able to drag the "|" to make the partitions bigger
[14:23] <DarkRainbow> Now the easiest is gone
[14:23] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: check if there is any change to the cpu speed after that command
[14:23] <ben__> Hi, I just changed the mount point of my USBHDD and now it will not mount.  This means that i can't change the settings back
[14:23] <DarkRainbow> And i dont wan tto delete windows
[14:23] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: ok
[14:23] <ben__> can anyone help?
[14:23] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to a keybinding?
[14:23] <laeg> RainCT: it works! :) i just have to run my wine apps in a window the size of my desktop under metacity. when i do the same using compiz it refuses to hide my top and bottom panels and also the 1280x1024 virtual desktop has a window status bar - ty for the help
[14:23] <DarkRainbow> How do i make a new partition with Manual-option?
[14:23] <raded> Enselic: i can see the soundwaves in audacity
[14:24] <RainCT> laeg: great :)
[14:24] <laeg> RainCT: :)
[14:24] <DarkRainbow> I cant click the "New partition"button
[14:24] <DarkRainbow> Its grey, unclickable-grey
[14:24] <DarkRainbow> :S
[14:24] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: how can I see if it changed?
[14:24] <Enselic> raded: have you made sure that the volume bars or whaever they are called are in the right position? (use gnome-alsamixer)
[14:24] <laeg> RainCT: is there anyway to make it switch automagically? i know that's a stretch :)
[14:24] <binarycodes> DarkRainbow: use fdisk
[14:25] <arcimboldo_> Is anybody aware of this error? Email title in the Evolution Inbox does not match the email contained when clicking on it.
[14:25] <raded> Enselic: yep
[14:25] <DarkRainbow> what is fdisk?
[14:25] <raded> everything was working until i watched a movie in dolby digital
[14:25] <raded> then the sound died
[14:25] <RainCT> DarkRainbow: best to use GParted (it's somewhere in System, as "PartitionEditor"). resize the windows partition and then you'll have to create at least a ext3 partition for the system and a swap partition for the SWAP space (size should be something between 1/2 and 4/2 of you're RAM)
[14:26] <RainCT> DarkRainbow: (it's recommended to add a second ext3 partition for your home directory)
[14:26] <Enselic> raded: if you create a new, clean account, does that account also have the same problem? (try opening a wav first)
[14:26] <Wootie> :o
[14:26] <raded> I'' try
[14:26] <raded> I'll try
[14:26] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
[14:26] <binarycodes> DarkRainbow:        fdisk - Partition table manipulator for Linux
[14:27] <RainCT> laeg: you can try with devil's pie
[14:27]  * RainCT doesn't remember how to use it, though, so I can't tell you
[14:27] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: it says: 1599996
[14:27] <bibstha> erUSUL: great java works
[14:27] <RainCT> binarycodes: he is asking how to use the manual partitioner in the installer and you tell him to use a command line tool? o_O
[14:29] <laeg> RainCT: sweet i'll look into it. do you have any pulse audio problems?
[14:29] <binarycodes> RainCT: i use that myself.
[14:29] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: that seems weird. that was a most direct way to change the cpufreq (though not that user friendly).
[14:29] <ak5> so nothing apart from failed cd integrity test that could be the cause for install hanging up at 75% ?
[14:30] <RainCT> laeg: I've switched back to ALSA, with Pulse Audio I couldn't only have on application using the sound card at a time :S
[14:30] <scribawf> Any suggestions for Linux equivelent to Airoboform?
[14:30] <bazhang> ak5, you removed quiet and splash from boot parameters to see the exact errors yet?
[14:30] <RainCT> scribawf: if you don't explain what it is you're reducing your changed to get an answer..
[14:30] <ruiboon> georgeguitar: sorry that i am not able to help. you could try others who are better in this channel (:
[14:30] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: hum then what is must be the problem?
[14:31] <ak5> bazhang, I am using alternate cd - and no
[14:31] <newbie> is there any app in ubuntu such as toucan from portable apps to synchronize folders and delete repeated files?
[14:31] <Bert_2> hi, I've upgraded to 8.04 yesterday and I have a question, why does nautilus call all my partitions "Media of XXGB" thought they're mounted on specific places by me (/etc/fstab) ?
[14:31] <bazhang> ak5 ah the alternate cd; then there is no splash--you check iso against md5
[14:31] <Oli```> Bert_2: that's just the new behaviour in gnome now =(
[14:31] <ak5> bazhang, yes
[14:31] <georgeguitar> ruiboon: thank you very much, I'll continue investigating
[14:31] <scribawf> RainCT Basically for Firfox on ubuntu a password keeper/logger.
[14:32] <Bert_2> Oli```: is there a work-around, like a label or something ?
[14:32] <RainCT> binarydigit: yes but if he's already confused with the GUI..
[14:32] <laeg> RainCT: ya that's my problem. if i have vlc paused in the background and i launch wine there is no sound. as per a ubotu guide in system > preferences > sound i set everything to alsa but there has been no change - is there another step to disabling pulse?
[14:32] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a keypress?
[14:32] <RainCT> scribawf: and... Why would you want that? Firefox is already able to remember password by defualt
[14:32] <bazhang> ak5 this a dual boot or only ubuntu
[14:33] <ak5> bazhang, only xubuntu
[14:33] <newbie> is there any app in ubuntu such as toucan from portable apps to synchronize folders and delete repeated files?
[14:33] <RainCT> laeg: I've only changed it there
[14:33] <bazhang> ak5, what are the system specs
[14:33] <RainCT> (didn't need restart nor anything)
[14:33] <Oli```> Bert_2: I've just put up with it - Thankfully all my volumes are different sizes but I'll have a look
[14:33] <bazhang> newbie, what is toucan
[14:33] <sudobash> newbie like an mp3 device?
[14:33] <laeg> RainCT: how can i confirm pulse audio is still running?
[14:33] <raded> Enselic: same problem with the other account
[14:33] <ak5> bazhang, pretty bad - 500mhz p3 and 64mb ram
[14:33] <drmarwat> hello
[14:33] <RainCT> newbie: there's rsync but it's a command line tool. there must be some GUI for that, though
[14:34] <Enselic> raded: what program did you use when playing wavs failed?
[14:34] <raded> computer crashed when logging out from the new account.
[14:34] <bazhang> ak5, it is the ram most likely--you might try fluxbuntu
[14:34] <Bert_2> Oli```: I'm going to search the ubuntuforums and soem GNOME docs, perhaps I can find a way
[14:34] <Enselic> raded: when playing wavs stopped to work, rather
[14:34] <raded> failed? it doesnt fail.
[14:34] <scribawf> RainCT;  Hmmmm....well haven't discovered that feature yet, but still fumbling around with Firefox.  Tnx anyways sorry asked ?  B 4 I searched through, (didn't do my homework :))
[14:34] <drmarwat> i have problem with nvidia geforce fx 5600 driver problem on 8.04
[14:34] <Enselic> raded: there is no sound, right?
[14:34] <newbie> bazhang, is a portable application for windows to synchronize folders
[14:34] <raded> correct.
[14:34] <Oli```> Bert_2: if you do find a way, please drop me a PM =)
[14:34] <Enselic> raded: then it fails I would say
[14:34] <ak5> bazhang, hmm, wouldn't that give me an error message before trying to install?
[14:34] <RainCT> laeg: I don't know.. 'ps xa | grep pulse' will show you that's it's running, but I also still have the daemon running though I don't use it
[14:34] <ak5> bazhang, :/
[14:34] <raded> yep
[14:35] <titusg> can anyone help me get the inbuilt mic working on my laptop (samsung q45)? It makes a noise if I tap it but skype and gnome-sound-recorder don't pick it up.
[14:35] <Enselic> raded: so what program did you use when it stopped working?
[14:35] <raded> the problem happend after i was watching a movie in vlc
[14:35] <drmarwat> after i installed driver from synaptic the screen and all windows are distorted
[14:35] <bazhang> ak5, no real idea; just a guess on my part; 64mb is pretty slim in the ram department
[14:35] <laeg> RainCT: can i paste the output?
[14:35] <laeg> RainCT: 3 lines
[14:35] <Fabio_Como> hello i have a UTF16 file.. how can I convert it to UTF8 from commandline? thanks
[14:35] <ak5> bazhang, yeah
[14:35] <sudobash> ak5 no it just will freeze
[14:35] <ak5> sudobash, ah thx
[14:35] <RainCT> drmarwat: have you tried uninstalling them again? :P
[14:35] <sudobash> if you are talking about ubuntu live cd
[14:35] <Enselic> raded: sorry I'm out of ideas, you could try #alsa @ freenode perhaps
[14:35] <raded> Enselic: after i watched the movie. i tried to play a .mp3 and i got no sound
[14:35] <whileimhere> Is there a basic CD player for the GNOME taskbar?
[14:35] <RainCT> laeg: sure.. paste.ubuntu.com
[14:35] <ak5> so how much ram does xubuntu require ?
[14:36] <raded> Enselic: on this network?
[14:36] <Enselic> raded: think so yes
[14:36] <Oli```> Bert_2: okay I've got something... apparently things need proper labels now - mountpoints won't do
[14:36] <sudobash> i think is 384 now???
[14:36] <sudobash> whileimhere: just use vlc or xmms
[14:36] <newbie> I am looking to synchronize two external hard drives to backup my data twice, but I have old and new data all mixed, and is almost impossible for me to synchronize them. I prefer to use a gui app
[14:36] <ak5> I want to give this system to someone with no prior computer experience
[14:36] <sudobash> small and powerful
[14:36] <Steve-O> Just installed ubunutu, when i go to login in gnome it just takes me back to the login screen again, the only way i can get on is to use the failsafe gnome session any help?
[14:36] <whileimhere> When I am doing heavy work that needs all the ram I use FVWM
[14:36] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a keypress?
[14:36] <ak5> fluxbox isn't really an option bazhang
[14:36] <sudobash> ak5 try xubuntu
[14:36] <sudobash> or debian
[14:36] <Oli```> Bert_2: run "sudo blkid" to see if your drives have labels, if they don't, read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4835670&postcount=17
[14:36] <whileimhere> sudobash: I mean like an applet
[14:36] <ak5> sudobash, this is what I am trying
[14:36] <bazhang> sudobash, already trying
[14:37] <sudobash> then try debian is you cant xubuntu
[14:37] <newbie> ubottu, synchronize
[14:37] <Bert_2> Oli```: okey great, thanks :D
[14:37] <sudobash> (flux)
[14:37] <ak5> hmm :/
[14:37] <sudobash> Ubuntu is Debian
[14:37] <sudobash> looks the same almostr
[14:37] <sudobash> feels the same
[14:37] <Dr_willis> !ubuntu
[14:37] <sudobash> but Debian is a little quicker
[14:37] <Steve-O> Just installed ubunutu, when i go to login in gnome it just takes me back to the login screen again, the only way i can get on is to use the failsafe gnome session any help?
[14:37] <ak5> sudobash, see thing is - its to be a pure websurfing machine - fluxbox (or other minimal wms) aren't really an option as this is for a complete noob
[14:38] <Dr_willis> how do you even benchmark such things?
[14:38] <laeg> RainCT: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11419/
[14:38] <sudobash> Steve-O you may have a Xorg problem
[14:38] <sudobash> or gnome problem
[14:38] <Steve-O> how do i fix that
[14:38] <ompaul> ak5, they can be - web requires an icon on screen - you could do windowmaker and xubuntu has full metacity menus
[14:38] <sudobash> try to restart and see what happens
[14:38] <Steve-O> i have
[14:38] <Dr_willis> Steve-O,  what video card?
[14:38] <Oli```> Bert_2: or just go to computer:/// in nautilus, right click each volume and go to properties and rename it
[14:38] <Steve-O> ati
[14:38] <sudobash> ok...
[14:39] <sudobash> ati hug?
[14:39] <newbie> I just installed dream chess on my computer, but I received this error message: Failed to execute child process "dreamchess" (No such file or directory), any suggestion on how to fix this?
[14:39] <sudobash> what version ubuntu?
[14:39] <Dundee> Hi, I would like to use git (git-daemon) to synchronize data between two PCs, but I haven't found any info about how to do it on ubuntu...
[14:39] <Dr_willis> Steve-O,  did you install the fglrx restricted drivers? or are you usign the ati drivers?
[14:39] <Bert_2> Oli```: that last idea is better I guess, especially for new users
[14:39] <ak5> ompaul, I suspect xubuntu doesn't run on this machine 500mhz 64bit ram since the install hangs up at 75%
[14:39] <ak5> 64mb ram sry
[14:39] <Oli```> Bert_2: *grumbles* that doesn't appear to be implemented yet though for some unknown reason
[14:39] <Steve-O> 64 it
[14:39] <Steve-O> bit*
[14:39] <ubuntu_firsttime> hi
[14:39] <ompaul> ak5, you need to do them a favour and buy them something a little bit better than that
[14:40] <ubuntu_firsttime> yes
[14:40] <ubuntu_firsttime> anyone here
[14:40] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:40] <bazhang> !hi | ubuntu_firsttime
[14:40] <Bert_2> Oli```: apparently: they don't have a backend or something
[14:40] <Steve-O> i have the 64 bit newest version
[14:40] <ak5> ompaul, heh, thats what he gave me :) he said your the linux guy - install linux on this - and I wanted to try the new ubuntu anyways
[14:40] <ubuntu_firsttime> yeah
[14:40] <Oli```> Bert_2: indeed.. I'm trying it as root
[14:40] <ubuntu_firsttime> thank you
[14:40] <sudobash> Yes Steve-0 go in to X the only way you can and go to system->administration->Restricted Drivers
[14:40] <Dundee> in the documentation for git-daemon is something about /etc/inetd. is this same for ubuntu?
[14:40] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a key shortcut?
[14:40] <Oli```> Bert_2: Nope.. no love there
[14:40] <bazhang> !enter | ubuntu_firsttime
[14:40] <edgardosilvi> alguien habla español?
[14:41] <sudobash> and see if there is anything you can install/check
[14:41] <bazhang> !es | edgardosilvi
[14:41] <ompaul> ak5, tell them this: if you want to try it you have to be serious ;-) you could install the minimal ubuntu and give him a web server
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> well i dont know how to use it properly
[14:41] <edgardosilvi> gracias
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> but hope i guess i will improve
[14:41] <Steve-O> its not there
[14:41] <Bert_2> Oli```: lol, and I'm wearing a "computer+gnome=love" shirt :p
[14:41] <Steve-O> theres hardware drivers...
[14:41] <ak5> ompaul, hmm, no he didn't want/need a server - I think I will install puppy or something - that ought to work
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> well anyone for assistance in ubuntu
[14:41] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a key shortcut?
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:41] <Oli```> rofl Bert_2 - might be time to shred it
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> im really in trouble
[14:41] <ompaul> ak-, DSL trumps puppy
[14:41] <bazhang> !ask | ubuntu_firsttime
[14:41] <ubuntu_firsttime> anyone heere?
[14:41] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a key shortcut in GNOME?
[14:42] <ubuntu_firsttime> ok thanks
[14:42] <Bert_2> Oli```: lol :p
[14:42] <ubuntu_firsttime> well how do i lookup my ipconfiguration
[14:42] <bazhang> ifconfig ubuntu_firsttime
[14:42] <ak5> ompaul, you think so? I think they haven't gotten with the time - don't they stil use a 2.4 kernel?
[14:42] <ubuntu_firsttime> ok
[14:42] <justAsset_> how to delete software raid device while installing ubuntu?
[14:42] <ubuntu_firsttime> well how do i save them from the terminal
[14:42] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:42] <ompaul> ak5, on a 500mhz and whatever
[14:42] <Tyrion> is there a way to get the Network Manager to work with the properietary cisco vpn client ?
[14:42] <ompaul> ak5, like it will matter
[14:43] <bazhang> ubuntu_firsttime, what are you trying to do; use one line and stop with the enter key
[14:43] <ak5> ompaul, wont matter?
[14:43] <ak5> yeah guess so ^^
[14:43] <ubuntu_firsttime> how to do that?
[14:43] <linkmaster03> How do I set a file to run on a key shortcut in GNOME?
[14:43] <ak5> ompaul well thanks for the tipp - I'll go grab the iso then
[14:43] <antic> oh hai, question: how safe is ubuntu desktop default install, static IP online 24/7. Any firewall enabled?
[14:43] <ubuntu_firsttime> i dont know how to install ubuntu
[14:43] <Oli```> Bert_2: e2label looks like it's working... I'll need to restart before I know for sure
[14:43] <Bert_2> Oli```: this label command only works for ext2 and ext3 I think, cause it's not working for FAT32
[14:43] <Oli```> aha
[14:43] <Dr_willis> linkmaster03,  explore the gnome settings menus perhaps. check the keyboard/shortcuts tools perhaps.
[14:43] <ubuntu_firsttime> i mean how do i dual boot with windows xp
[14:43] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:43] <ak5> antic, safer than windows with a firewall
[14:43] <Sarah> does anyone know what program makes all that system info on the desktop like in this picture - http://www.kimchikid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/clean-desktop.jpg
[14:44] <bazhang> !dualboot | ubuntu_firsttime  read this
[14:44] <ubuntu_firsttime> thanks a lot man
[14:44] <Oli```> Bert_2: check out the FAT section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[14:44] <ubuntu_firsttime> and again another questions?
[14:44] <Dr_willis> Sarah,  that would be 'conky'
[14:44] <ubuntu_firsttime> can you tell me again?
[14:44] <Sarah> Dr_willis, thank you!
[14:44] <bazhang> ubuntu_firsttime, scroll up
[14:44] <m1r> how can i stop cdrom from using device so i can unmount it ?
[14:44] <ubuntu_firsttime> how to install software from the terminal command line
[14:44] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:44] <newbie> I just installed dream chess on my computer, but I received this error message: Failed to execute child process "dreamchess" (No such file or directory), any suggestion on how to fix this?
[14:45] <antic> ak5: Safe as a minimal debian ?
[14:45] <bazhang> www.ubuntuguide.org ubuntu_firsttime
[14:45] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_firsttime,  sudo apt-get install WHATEVERPROGRAMPACKAGENAME
[14:45] <justAsset_> ubuntu_firsttime, what kind of software?
[14:45] <newbie> ubuntu_firsttime, sudo apt-get install nameofprogram
[14:45] <ak5> antic, look, the more apps you have installed, (and running) the less safe it is
[14:45] <ubuntu_firsttime> flash plugins
[14:45] <ubuntu_firsttime> i cant play youtube videos
[14:45] <ak5> antic, so if you were to stop daemons you don't need yeah sure
[14:45] <Dr_willis> !flash | ubuntu_firsttime
[14:45] <rui> hello
[14:45] <bazhang> !enter | ubuntu_firsttime
[14:45] <ubuntu_firsttime> thanks again
[14:46] <arvind> is there a way 2 increase video memory of my intel 915 mobo?
[14:46] <RainCT> laeg: I get the same output
[14:46] <bazhang> arvind, with what goal in mind
[14:46] <ubuntu_firsttime> then can you please tell me again how to move from one drive to another in ubuntu
[14:46] <ubuntu_firsttime> ?
[14:46] <antic> ak5: ok. but is ubuntu server a better option?
[14:46] <m1r> how to unmount cdrom when device is busy ?
[14:46] <ak5> antic, for what?
[14:46] <RainCT> ubuntu_firsttime: what do you mean?
[14:46] <RainCT> m1r: unbusy it :P:P
[14:46] <Dr_willis> m1r,  close all programs accessing the cdrom - or it wont unmount
[14:47] <laeg> RainCT: let me run another test with vlc in the background while i launch wine
[14:47] <arvind> bazhang,i have 2gb ram.i just want 2 utilise it more
[14:47] <ubuntu_firsttime> i mean by using command in the terminal
[14:47] <antic> ak5: basically running as a second desktop but also fileserver + ftp
[14:47] <ubuntu_firsttime> to navigate from one directory to another
[14:47] <bazhang> ubuntu_firsttime, read the links we gave you thanks
[14:47] <m1r> Dr_willis: it is instalation in progres requesting cd2 :D
[14:47] <ubuntu_firsttime> ok
[14:47] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_firsttime,  you proberly need to read a few bash beginner guides.
[14:47] <ubuntu_firsttime> well can i ask one last thing again
[14:47] <arvind> bazhang
[14:47] <Dr_willis> m1r,  let me guess.. some stupid game with wine?
[14:47] <ak5> antic, ubuntu server doesn't have x installed (from what I gather - I wouldn't use ubuntu for servers out of personal preference)
[14:48] <bazhang> arvind, to what end
[14:48] <m1r> Dr_willis: correct!:)
[14:48] <ubuntu_firsttime> where can i get a tutorial on shell scripting?
[14:48] <elmargol> rhythmbox drives me nuts! It starts everythime i plug my ipod in :(
[14:48] <ak5> antic, so If you want gfx - go with ubuntu/kubuntu/whateverfloatsyourboatbuntu
[14:48] <Dr_willis> m1r,  for wine/games/multi-cd i tend to copy ALL the files from both cd's (or more) to a single dir, then use wine and start the installer from that directory.
