[03:05] <Zeion> some time during the install process of my theme wich is here http://parker1.co.uk/ubuntu-se/ it asked something about KDE or Gnome, as i was installing KDE theme i thought it was what to choose but now it is in command over gnome login, and im not quite certain what i did.
[03:05] <strabes> IndyGunFreak: oh. imo amarok is a wonderful music program
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> strabes: i use some KDE apps, for instance, KTorrent..
[03:06] <strabes> IndyGunFreak: ok

[03:06] <NBrepresent> hi, what do you recommend for a p2p program with a gui?
[03:06] <Pici> !p2p | NBrepresent
[03:06] <ubotu> NBrepresent: Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[03:06] <jvolkman> I love KDE technologically, but I hate it's cluttered look
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> NBrepresent: frostwire...
[03:07] <jvolkman> so I stick to gnome and use Konqueror, Kate, etc. as needed.
[03:07] <NBrepresent> thanks for the links, Pici
[03:08] <Zeion> from this link can someone tell me what to do to get gnome login screen back? http://parker1.co.uk/ubuntu-se/
[03:09] <strabes> Zeion: that's kinda a sketch login screen
[03:09] <strabes> Zeion: sudo apt-get remove kdm
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> Zeion: you actually installed Ubuntu Satanic Edition?
[03:09] <dimeotane> jvolkman: other than KDE having a different look than gnome... what's would be the biggest difference between kbuntu and ubuntu?
[03:10] <zaggynl> what? :D
[03:10] <kaolti> arghh how can i get xserver is not installed when i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[03:10] <Hattorii> ikonia: can't find the jvm directory.. how can i set the proper path?
[03:10] <Zeion> i was looking for a new cool visual for linux and a friend found it and helped me install it
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> geez, ballsy
[03:10] <strabes> kaolti: do you have an ATI card?
[03:10] <ikonia> what do you mean - you can't find the jvm directory ?
[03:10] <kaolti> strabes nvidia
[03:10] <ikonia> Hattorii you installed it - you should know where it is
[03:10] <jvolkman> dimeotane, there really is no difference other than the differences between KDE and Gnome.
[03:10] <the_sultan> barg ubuntu broke windows
[03:10] <Hattorii> it's in my home
[03:10] <ikonia> the_sultan no it didn't
[03:10] <Hattorii> but there is no jvm dir
[03:11] <ikonia> Hattorii you installed it
[03:11] <kaolti> strabes: im tryin to install new drivers
[03:11] <ikonia> Hattorii you know where you installed it to
[03:11] <strabes> Zeion: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/66725-installing-gdm-themes-fedora.html
[03:11] <Hattorii> ikonia: it's in home
[03:11] <Hattorii> ikonia: but there is no jvm dir inside
[03:11] <Hattorii> ikonia: i installed the bin from sun site
[03:11] <ikonia> of course there is no "jvm" dir
[03:11] <kaolti> strabes: and i get xserver is not installed error
[03:11] <ikonia> Hattorii exactly
[03:12] <ikonia> Hattorii YOU installed it
[03:12] <Zeion> i did that already now i see E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:12] <Hattorii> ikonia: can't understand.
[03:12] <ikonia> Hattorii so YOU should have read on what was on the screen to see where it was installing it
[03:12] <strabes> kaolti: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[03:12] <the_sultan> hmm ubuntu installer doesnt think it can format my hdd
[03:13] <strabes> kaolti: did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:13] <Hattorii> ikonia: locate jvm doesn't find any dir under 1.6 java
[03:13] <kaolti> strabes: yea.but problem is solved now, thanks for the link :)
[03:13] <ikonia> Hattorii there is no such command as "jvm" so locate will never find it
[03:14] <Hattorii> not command
[03:14] <Hattorii> directory
[03:14] <ikonia> Hattorii there should not be a dir called "jvm"
[03:14] <the_sultan> 'the creation of swap space in partition #5 of ide1 maser (hda) failed...what could be the cause of this ?
[03:14] <Hattorii> i see that current JAVA_HOME path point to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
[03:14] <ikonia> the_sultan not enough space, can't re-size
[03:14] <ikonia> Hattorii ok ???
[03:14] <ikonia> Hattorii so ?
[03:15] <the_sultan> there isnt any partitions on the disk
[03:15] <Hattorii> what's the dir i should point it to no?
[03:15] <Hattorii> now
[03:15] <fr0nk> hm, doesn't the gnome-terminal read the .bash_profile in my ~?
[03:15] <ikonia> Hattorii the 1.6 dir
[03:15] <strabes> fr0nk: yeah
[03:15] <fr0nk> damn ;o
[03:15] <ikonia> Hattorii this is all explained in the guide
[03:15] <Hattorii> which one?
[03:15] <Vuen> hey #ubuntu, i'm having problems with k3b. it keeps telling me cds are burning properly, but the cds don't work
[03:15] <Hattorii> which guide
[03:15] <ikonia> Hattorii the java guide on the wiki
[03:15] <Zeion> tried remove from synaptic ill be back need to reboot to test it out
[03:15] <Hattorii> any link?
[03:16] <ikonia> Hattorii https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:16] <fr0nk> strabes: is there a way to make gnome-terminal read the file?
[03:16] <Vuen> it's incredibly frustrating because it keeps ruining blank dvds
[03:16] <ikonia> Hattorii search it
[03:16] <fr0nk> strabes: or does it have its own format?
[03:17] <strabes> try "source ~/.bash_profile"
[03:17] <the_sultan> ikonia, i told it to do the partitioning auto
[03:17] <fr0nk> strabes: and btw have you tried irssi out?
[03:17] <fr0nk> strabes: \o/ :x :D
[03:18] <strabes> fr0nk: yeah I don't have time to learn all the commands and things - i'll just stick with noob konversation
[03:18] <the_sultan> when i go to manually partition it wont let me do it either
[03:18] <Hattorii> ikonia: it doesn't explain how to install from the sun download
[03:18] <ikonia> Hattorii yes it does
[03:18] <the_sultan> what size does my swap file need to be
[03:18] <ikonia> the_sultan double the ram is a good guide
[03:18] <fr0nk> strabes: there aren't any other commands, just /nick /join and /server <server> that you'll probably need
[03:18] <fairman> Hi, how can i force Konqueror to view thumblains when i open ftp folder with jpeg pictures?
[03:19] <Hattorii> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java doesn't
[03:19] <Hattorii> ikonia: if it does, please point me to correct one
[03:19] <strabes> fr0nk: no I like everything automated
[03:19] <fr0nk> fairman: enable preview of pictures on a network location
[03:19] <strabes> fr0nk: I saw that you could do that in irssi, but I didn't want to bother
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> ikonia: double the ram?.. Never heard that, I'll have to remember that.
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> whats the logic for that/
[03:19] <ikonia> Hattorii it explains it
[03:19] <strabes> fr0nk: like when I open konversation, it automatically connects to the server I want and a few channels I want
[03:19] <ikonia> IndyGunFreak it used to be 1.5 times the ram
[03:19] <Hattorii> ikonia: where?
[03:19] <fr0nk> strabes: you aren't bothering, this is about helping each other :D
[03:20] <the_sultan> is a swap primary or logical ?
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.
[03:20] <ikonia> Hattorii read it
[03:20] <fr0nk> strabes: ah ok, in irssi you'd have to script that
[03:20] <Hattorii> ikonia: sudo update-alternatives --config java doesn't list the one i installed
[03:20] <ikonia> for example If you want to use Sun's Java instead of the open source GIJ (GNU Java bytecode interpreter) you need to set it as default. To list installed JVMs:
[03:20] <fairman> fr0nk: thank you, so easy ...
[03:20] <ikonia> Hattorii possibly as you've not installed it right
[03:20] <strabes> fr0nk: it didn't look like I would have to use a script on the irssi help page
[03:20] <strabes> fr0nk: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup
[03:21] <Hattorii> ikonia: as i said u, the guide doesn't explain how to install from sun download. it suppose you have already installed.
[03:21] <ikonia> Hattorii thats not the only other guide
[03:21] <Hattorii> i did: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/install-linux.html#self-extracting
[03:21] <fr0nk> strabes: yes you could also use the "autoperform" section in the config, but then irssi will do that on all servers iirc
[03:21] <timposey> Hello all... have a problem... I was running the upgrade to 7.04 when I lost power.  I now have power but get the following message when I try to check updates... E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:21] <Hattorii> so it's difficult to do those 2 commands wrong
[03:21] <strabes> fr0nk:
[03:21] <ikonia> Hattorii htats nothing to do with ubuntu that guide
[03:21] <strabes> fr0nk: oh
[03:21] <strabes> fr0nk: i'm not going to bother though. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
[03:21] <ikonia> Hattorii thats a generic install that assume you know how to configure your distro
[03:21] <Hattorii> ikonia: it's the guide to installa the .bin from sun
[03:22] <ikonia> Hattorii yes - but nothing to do with ubuntu
[03:22] <ikonia> Hattorii so ubuntu won't be aware of what you've installed
[03:22] <Hattorii> so gimme a guide to install the bin in ubuntu
[03:22] <Hattorii> u haven't provide one
[03:22] <Hattorii> but u say it exists
[03:22] <ikonia> Hattorii its in the wiki
[03:22] <Hattorii> where
[03:22] <ikonia> have a search around
[03:22] <lampyris> i tried to install ubuntu gtk theme on debian, but it doesn't work... can you help me?
[03:22] <the_sultan> what the balls why wouldnt ubuntu let me write partitions to the hdd when im trying to install it ?
[03:22] <Hobbsee> timposey: run sudo dpkg --configure -a then
[03:22] <Hattorii> u pasted me the "sudo update-alternatives --config java" that doesn't show me the installed one
[03:23] <ikonia> the_sultan anything in error log
[03:23] <ikonia> Hattorii because I've told you "ubuntu isn't aware of what you've installed"
[03:23] <fsckr> is there a conky channel?
[03:23] <the_sultan> where that ?
[03:23] <timposey> Hobbsee in terminal?
[03:23] <Hobbsee> timposey: yes
[03:23] <ikonia> the_sultan normally /var/log
[03:23] <timposey> thanks
[03:23] <Hobbsee> timposey: close synaptic/the updater first
[03:23] <the_sultan> my mouse has died also is their a shortcut to get into terminal
[03:23] <ikonia> the_sultan no idea
[03:23] <dromer> hi all, I just installed sopcast o.2.8 but I need firefox to open linsk with sop:// with it, can someone explain (or point me in the right direction to) how I can do this? (I know I have to add something in about:config)
[03:24] <the_sultan> and now the system as locked up again
[03:24] <Hattorii> ikonia: so where is the guide to install the bin from sun in ubuntu?
[03:24] <fr0nk> btw who mentioned he is using beryl to arrange the window positions?
[03:24] <the_sultan> i dont think ubuntu likes my pc :p
[03:24] <fr0nk> it doesn't work ;)
[03:24] <Hobbsee> !java | Hattorii
[03:24] <ubotu> Hattorii: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[03:25] <timposey> hobbsee:  How do I close that?
[03:25] <Hattorii> !Multiverse
[03:25] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:25] <Hobbsee> timposey: uh?  like you close any other program - the quit button
[03:26] <fr0nk> huh gnome-terminal doesn't seem to work with ncurses (centericq) properly. Is it me or a bug?
[03:26] <timposey> Hobbsee  Ok lol  it was just not open so I thought it may be running out there in the universe somewhere...
[03:26] <Hobbsee> timposey: (if it's open, that is)
[03:26] <Hobbsee> timposey: ahhh.  nope
[03:27] <Hattorii> ikonia: the guide tell how to install java 6 from repository, not from sun bin file
[03:27] <ikonia> Hattorii exactly
[03:27] <ikonia> Hattorii as I said - the sun guie is nothing to do with ubuntu so ubuntu will not be aware of it
[03:27] <timposey> Hobbsee  looks like the install is running correctly once again.. thanks for the help
[03:27] <Hobbsee> Hattorii: the sun bin file has instructions with it, if you wish to use that, iirc....
[03:28] <Hobbsee> which ubuntu probably wont be aware of - the package manager, anyway
[03:28] <ikonia> Hobbsee I've told him 3 times
[03:29] <Vuen> hey guys, how do i check what programs are using a file/device? i'm trying to unmount my cdrom and it keeps telling me it's busy
[03:29] <W_McL> AFAIK java 6 is available in the package management, so why install sun's version?
[03:29] <clusterm1gnet> guys, im mad...  i was told that ubuntu 7.04 supports lvm on install, it doesnt :(
[03:29] <VirhYl3> How do I get ownership over my mp3s so I can edit their tags in Rhythmbox?
[03:29] <clusterm1gnet> it doesnt recognize my volume groups
[03:30] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: i thought it did - the alternate cd
[03:30] <VirhYl3> Is there a way to do it without the console?
[03:30] <W_McL> clusterm1gnet: it does. (at least the alternate install cd does) you just need to set it up
[03:30] <clusterm1gnet> Hobbsee: sorry?
[03:30] <clusterm1gnet> W_McL: i have a linux distro i wish to move off from...  i need to keep my data, its on lvm
[03:30] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: as in, the alternate cd has lots more options - including LVM, i think
[03:30] <clusterm1gnet> so i pop the cd i downloaded, and it didnt work
[03:30] <Hobbsee> did you use the desktop cd?
[03:31] <clusterm1gnet> Hobbsee: a desktop showed up :)
[03:31] <clusterm1gnet> Hobbsee: with an install icon
[03:31] <clusterm1gnet> yes, i used the desktop cd download
[03:31] <clusterm1gnet> should i grab the server one?
[03:31] <VirhYl3> the alternate cd, yes.
[03:31] <W_McL> clusterm1gnet: not the server one, the alternate one
[03:31] <VirhYl3> so how do I get permission to rename my mp3s?
[03:31] <clusterm1gnet> thanks!
[03:31] <VirhYl3> without the command line?
[03:32] <Noodlesgc> why will my ubuntu not let me change the read-write access to my hard drives?
[03:32] <YamiTenshi> hey, can anybody help me set up a PPPoE connection in Edgy Eft?
[03:32] <VirhYl3> Noodlesgc: I'm having the same exact problem.
[03:32] <timposey> Hobbsee the install stopped and gives me the following error....Errors were encountered while processing: notification-daemon
[03:33] <W_McL> Noodlesgc: you usually need superuser privileges to do such operations
[03:33] <VirhYl3> Yes, how do I get superuser privileges?
[03:33] <Noodlesgc> but it wont even let me install programs
[03:33] <Hobbsee> timposey: can you pastebin the full error please?
[03:33] <W_McL> VirhYl3: type sudo in front of the command you want to execute in the terminal
[03:33] <VirhYl3> noodles: Yeah, Linux is anal that way.  Which is why we need to be superusers.
[03:34] <VirhYl3> ah, see, I don't know commands in the terminal.
[03:34] <VirhYl3> I want to be a super user in gnome.
[03:34] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: ahh.  that's the desktop cd.  for more of the unusual configs, you need to use the alternate cd
[03:34] <clusterm1gnet> guys, so what you're talkign about, is checking the "alternate CD" box here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[03:34] <clusterm1gnet> ya?
[03:34] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: yeah
[03:34] <clusterm1gnet> Hobbsee: thanks!
[03:34] <Hobbsee> !multiverse | Hattorii
[03:34] <ubotu> Hattorii: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:34] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: no problem
[03:34] <timposey> Hobbsee I'm fairly new ... that is the full error that I see on the terminal screen
[03:34] <VirhYl3> Can I just make myself a super user?
[03:34] <Hobbsee> !multiverse > Hattorii
[03:35] <Hobbsee> VirhYl3: it's...not a good idea.
[03:35] <VirhYl3> so I can just right click on files and change their permissions at will?
[03:35] <holypax> ies4linux problem
[03:35] <Hobbsee> !root | VirhYl3
[03:35] <ubotu> VirhYl3: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:35] <Noodlesgc> how can i become a superuser
[03:35] <clusterm1gnet> Hobbsee: where can i rtfm the difference between desktop and server ubuntu, is there a diff sheet somewhere?
[03:35] <etuardu> i have a problem about compiz: when i run compiz --replace all windows loose their title bar
[03:35] <Hobbsee> !root > Noodlesgc
[03:35] <VirhYl3> Hobbsee: I don't want to bother.  I'm no n00b.  I want to be a super user in gnome, so I don't have to type all day.
[03:35] <W_McL> clusterm1gnet: the server cd installs a commandline system without GUI
[03:35] <Hobbsee> VirhYl3: then see the factoid
[03:36] <VirhYl3> OK, lookin' at it.
[03:36] <Hobbsee> W_McL: dont confuse the *server* install with the alternate
[03:36] <squidly[work] > hello.. I've got an issue with a ubuntu server that is driving me up the wall
[03:36] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: if you've ever installed debian, or installed an older version of ubuntu, the alternate isntaller is tha tone - has a lot more options, including lvm stuff.
[03:37] <squidly[work] > when ever I restart it I have to reset permissions on a directory for samab and I cant figure out why it wont stay installed
[03:37] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: the desktop installer is basically the more common versions of that
[03:37] <W_McL> Hobbsee: i don't confuse it
[03:37] <VirhYl3> I read that whole page.  It just gives me a bunch of command line stuff that isn't helping me.
[03:37] <W_McL> Hobbsee: i try to explain the differences
[03:38] <Hobbsee> clusterm1gnet: i'm assuming you're meaning the difference between the alternate cd, and desktop, or server install and desktop?
[03:38] <Hobbsee> W_McL: true - i guessed what clusterm1gnet meant, rather than what he said, based on what he said previously
[03:39] <RancidZA> hey guys
[03:39] <VirhYl3> I just need to right click on files at will (for about an hour) and change their permissions.  After that I can go back to being me.
[03:39] <VirhYl3> So that I can change the mp3 tag info on about 1,000 mp3s.
[03:39] <RancidZA> im trying to install the RT driver for mah wireless card
[03:39] <RancidZA> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61

[03:40] <W_McL> VirhYl3: then hit Alt+f2, type "gksudo nautilus" to start the filemanager with superuser permissions, do the changes and close the filemanager after that
[03:40] <coz_> has anyone here tried the new nvidia beta driver  v100.14.05 ?
[03:40] <VirhYl3> W_McL: THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I want to do.
[03:40] <the_sultan> hmm ubuntu doesnt like my hard drive
[03:41] <W_McL> VirhYl3: but use the superuser permissions carefully ;)
[03:41] <the_sultan> when its trying to install and make the partitions it fails and the log file is full of i/o errors
[03:41] <CaptainMorgan> I must be going blind.. where is the menu editor ?
[03:42] <Hobbsee> VirhYl3: how many files are you oging to change, and what are you going to change the permissions to?
[03:42] <CaptainMorgan> in fiesty
[03:42] <the_sultan> how do i format a hdd in ubuntu ?
[03:42] <CaptainMorgan> the_sultan, gparted ?

[03:43] <CaptainMorgan> what didn't you understand?
[03:44] <VirhYl3> heh, now it won't let me change owners.  It automatically goes back to root every time I click my name.

[03:46] <VirhYl3> see, but I don't understand the dos like directory structure well enough to use the command line reasonably.
[03:46] <VirhYl3> *sigh*
[03:46] <squidly[work] > Kayef, nope :P
[03:46] <variant> herbaliser: thats all you need, some software willr equire other build time functionaltiy but it will tell you whats missing when you run the configure script
[03:46] <VirhYl3> Kayef: just ask.
[03:46] <squidly[work] > Kayef, sorry just kidding ask away
[03:46] <Kayef> thanks
[03:46] <eternal_p> good morning all...quick question, is there Adobe Reader 7 for Feisty Dawn...the default document image viewer is OK, but doesn't handle fonts or printing properly, I know it is in the edgey eft repositories...
[03:46] <herbaliser> glib2-devel is missing can i install this using apt-get?
[03:46] <variant> VirhYl3: there is no dos like directory struction
[03:46] <variant> structure
[03:46] <VirhYl3> well, when I'm typing in a console, I call that DOS like.
[03:47] <variant> VirhYl3: why don't you just change permissions with the gui?
[03:47] <VirhYl3> and I have no idea what the F#*K I'm doing in there.
[03:47] <squidly[work] > VirhYl3, the proper term is being in a shell
[03:47] <VirhYl3> I's not letting me.
[03:47] <Kayef> I just install ubuntu and my usb hub doesn't work if i startup with it plugged in but if i plug it in after ubuntu has loaded then it works
[03:47] <Kayef> how?
[03:47] <VirhYl3> it switches back to root automatically.
[03:47] <VirhYl3> Kayef: I read somewhere that that may be a bug that is being worked on.
[03:48] <Kayef> means I have to wait till they get it sorted out?
[03:48] <Kayef> no quick solution at the moment?
[03:48] <VirhYl3> Make sure you have the latest updates.
[03:48] <Kayef> I have the auto update on
[03:48] <Kayef> is it enough?
[03:48] <VirhYl3> most likely.
[03:48] <VirhYl3> :D
[03:48] <VirhYl3> you may want to try prayer, as well. LOL
[03:49] <squidly[work] > Kayef, that should be good. You also can manualy check it with updates
[03:49] <Kayef> wat is prayer?
[03:49] <VirhYl3> a bad joke.
[03:49] <squidly[work] > Kayef, its a bad joke :P
[03:49] <VirhYl3> jinx!
[03:49] <Kayef> oooo
[03:49] <Kayef> i see
[03:49] <VirhYl3> OK, so nautilus won't allow me to change permissions.
[03:49] <eternal_p> kayef: I don't know how, but see if you can delay the usb startup in ubuntu (take it out of startup, and put it into a script) that may get you what you need, have you tried a different USB hub?
[03:50] <variant> VirhYl3: press alt f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[03:50] <Kayef> no....but if i plug individual usb in its the same
[03:50] <VirhYl3> Did that.
[03:50] <Kayef> it doesn't load
[03:50] <VirhYl3> I'm root.
[03:50] <VirhYl3> It's showing me all the options, but it won't let me switch owners.
[03:50] <variant> VirhYl3: be aware that if you change permissions on something you don't know the purpose of you can totaly break the system
[03:50] <Kayef> how do i take out from startup and put it into script?
[03:50] <VirhYl3> It just jumps right back to root no matter what I select.
[03:50] <VirhYl3> variant: I just want to change permissions on a directory of mp3s.
[03:51] <variant> VirhYl3: what is the filesystem?
[03:51] <kaolti> anyone knows how can i install msttcorefonts with apt-get?
[03:51] <variant> VirhYl3: is it a fat filesystem?
[03:51] <VirhYl3> NTFS
[03:51] <kaolti> im getting Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:51] <VirhYl3> XD
[03:51] <variant> VirhYl3: is it mounted with write permission?
[03:51] <VirhYl3> think so.
[03:51] <tommus> hey, whats a great bit-torrent client for feisty?
[03:51] <variant> VirhYl3: you can't change permissions on a read only fs
[03:51] <Hattorii> how to install sun-java6-jdk? my repository can't find it. i created sources.list with http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[03:51] <VirhYl3> i can write some files!
[03:51] <binary0> hi guys... is there any way to have exim installed to work with one large config file only in stead of the ubuntu-style macro, multiple config files ??
[03:52] <variant> VirhYl3: type mount, if it says ro it's read only if rw then read/write
[03:52] <variant> VirhYl3: perhaps ntfs doesn't support owner/group perms either. i don't know much about that fs
[03:52] <VirhYl3> ummm... see I don't know what directory to type that in.
[03:52] <variant> VirhYl3: any directory
[03:52] <VirhYl3> I don't understand command line stuff AT ALL.
[03:52] <VirhYl3> O I C.
[03:52] <VirhYl3> hmmm
[03:53] <kaolti> anyone knows how can i install msttcorefonts?
[03:53] <variant> !fots | kaolti
[03:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fots - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:53] <frank_b> does ubuntu have a limit for user accounts? I can't create one...
[03:53] <kaolti> thx thx
[03:54] <VirhYl3> hmmm... maybe it's doing something this time.  I'm getting the "wait" icon on the mouse.
[03:54] <variant> frank_b: no
[03:54] <frank_b> variant: ok, thanks. must be a bug then
[03:56] <Ctrl_Z> :O
[03:56] <VirhYl3> Nope, still doesn't work.  Can't add information to those tracks in Rhythmbox.
[03:56] <VirhYl3> *sigh*
[03:56] <variant> VirhYl3: did you do what i asked?
[03:56] <VirhYl3> yes.
[03:56] <variant> VirhYl3: why didn't you tell me the result?
[03:56] <VirhYl3> I alt f2 gksudo nautilus.
[03:56] <variant> VirhYl3: i mean, mount in a terminal
[03:57] <VirhYl3> I try and alter permissions, try to switch owners, try to alter groups... all nothing.
[03:57] <VirhYl3> i don't even know the begining of how to do that.
[03:57] <agresor> Can anyone help with " http://pastebin.ca/465645"
[03:57] <VirhYl3> like I go in the terminal and just type "mount"?
[03:57] <variant> VirhYl3: type the word mount in a  terminal
[03:57] <agresor> i have problem with SOUND on MPlayer
[03:57] <variant> VirhYl3: and then enter
[03:57] <VirhYl3> it all comes up rw.
[03:58] <variant> VirhYl3: put the output on www.rafb.net/paste
[03:58] <VirhYl3> rw,nosuid,nodev
[03:58] <herbaliser> can i search a package with apt-get ?    for example all packages containting dbus
[03:58] <variant> herbaliser: apt-cache search dbus
[03:59] <VirhYl3> http://rafb.net/p/NtSD1646.html
[03:59] <VirhYl3> is my prob nosuid?
[04:01] <variant> VirhYl3: you are using a network share?
[04:01] <ikonia> VirhYl3 why would it be a "killer" hd ?
[04:01] <VirhYl3> because every other external hd overheats or breaks easily.
[04:01] <VirhYl3> yes.
[04:01] <ikonia> nosense
[04:01] <VirhYl3> I'm attempting to share my divx with the living room PC.
[04:01] <jrib> herbaliser: you want to search package names, desciptions or contents?
[04:02] <variant> VirhYl3: nice that you were able to set up nfs...
[04:02] <VirhYl3> ikonia: You don't live in the desert I take it.
[04:02] <VirhYl3> guess so.
[04:02] <ikonia> then you want a full size hd running fast with a fast interface rather than a usb device clogging up the buss
[04:02] <VirhYl3> no idea what you are talking about.
[04:02] <herbaliser> jrib i want to search package name
[04:02] <herbaliser> apt-cach sarch works
[04:02] <jrib> herbaliser: apt-cache search --names-only foo
[04:02] <LjL> apt-cache search blah | grep blah also comes useful
[04:02] <VirhYl3> movies don't share, either.  Or at least I don't have permission to see them.  It tries to make me type in a password from the windows machine, and then that is the end of THAT game.
[04:03] <jrib> !apt > herbaliser (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:03] <VirhYl3> I've posted bugs about all this on launchpad.
[04:03] <herbaliser> tnx jrib
[04:03] <VirhYl3> I'm doing my civic duty.
[04:04] <Noodlesgc> is there any codec pack i can download where ubuntu will be able to handle all formats?
[04:05] <variant> VirhYl3:
[04:05] <erUSUL> !mp3 > Noodlesgc
[04:05] <ZeZu> mono in the us.archive repos. is ancient
[04:05] <ZeZu> anyone explain this ?
[04:05] <VirhYl3> variant: yes?
[04:05] <variant> Noodlesgc: install vlc, contains support for basically all formats
[04:05] <variant> VirhYl3: nm
[04:05] <mc44> !info mono
[04:05] <ubotu> mono: Mono CLI (.NET) runtime. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1 kB, installed size 24 kB
[04:05] <ZeZu> feisty only ?
[04:05] <Noodlesgc> after i install vlc will other media players be able to use the vlc codecs?
[04:05] <VirhYl3> noodles, there's also a gstreamer (ugly) or something that helps you run divx.  Browse synaptic.
[04:06] <VirhYl3> noodles: no.
[04:06] <ZeZu> i can see only version 1.1.13
[04:06] <mc44> ZeZu: older releases do not get updated packages
[04:06] <variant> Noodlesgc: are you using feisty?
[04:06] <ZeZu> haha
[04:06] <Solarion>  7103 solarion  15   0  426m 362m  14m S  3.0 23.8   4:44.28 gnome-panel

[04:06] <Solarion>  so, where do I find the leak?
[04:06] <Noodlesgc> 7.04
[04:06] <ZeZu> Limited Term Support i guess
[04:06] <variant> ZeZu: security fixes are back ported
[04:06] <mc44> ZeZu: support applies to security not to new packages
[04:06] <Summer> how do I change font in Gnome?
[04:06] <ZeZu> that sucks
[04:06] <Solarion> ZeZu: LTS means you will continue to get patches, but of course not new versions.
[04:06] <mc44> ZeZu: it wouldnt be a stable release if every new package got put in there
[04:06] <Pici> !info mono dapper
[04:07] <VirhYl3> well, I'm gonna have to attack this project some other night.... It's 7 AM and I gotta get SOME sleep.. Rest assured, I'll be back trying to get Ubuntu to "work" in the future.
[04:07] <ZeZu> apt-get dist-upgrade ?

[04:07] <ab0oo> I need  a grub expert..  I have a feisty system on /dev/hdb, and an old Windows system on /dev/hda.  I wanted to recover the hda drive for use in another machine, but obviously the master boot record was on hda.  how to I convice hdb to boot once it becomes hda?
[04:07] <ZeZu> how do i upgrade to feisty ?
[04:07] <variant> ZeZu: how does that suck exactly? it would cease to be dapper if all the packages were updated regularly.. it would be the same as feisty
[04:07] <mc44> !upgrade | ZeZu

[04:07] <ZeZu> well it sucks b/c i have to upgrade to use a package, or install it manually
[04:08] <variant> ZeZu: install it manually.. not hard
[04:08] <ZeZu> you might get shot for saying it though ;p
[04:08] <rhYAFK> zezu: You should upgrade.  Feisty >>>> Dapper.
[04:08] <ZeZu> people in this channel scream about manual installs
[04:08] <Parmenion> hi people
[04:08] <variant> ZeZu: depends on how competent you are
[04:08] <Xyc0> My sound card keeps disappearing, does anyone know of any issues with audigy drivers?
[04:08] <ikonia> ZeZu people do not advise manual installas it breaks dependency trees
[04:08] <ikonia> variant exactly
[04:09] <Parmenion> ZeZu: manual installs are commonsense ...
[04:09] <ZeZu> indneed
[04:09] <ab0oo> so the answer is just "boot from a rescue disk and install grub"?
[04:09] <ikonia> Parmenion not for everyone
[04:09] <herbaliser> in need  DBUS-Glib 0.60  and devel package i have no idee how it's called for ubuntu
[04:09] <Parmenion> ikonia: i suppose ...
[04:09] <herbaliser> getting error when compiling from source
[04:09] <rhYAFK> zezu, just do the automatic install upgrade.
[04:09] <ZeZu> I use LFS mostly
[04:09] <ikonia> herbaliserapt-cache search
[04:09] <Parmenion> herbaliser: it isnt in apt?
[04:09] <mc44> ZeZu: because it is so much easier to install mono there :)
[04:09] <ikonia> ZeZu thats interesting as I am one of the LFS writers
[04:09] <ZeZu> i'm working on an arcade machine, and i knew the mono worked different
[04:09] <ZeZu> ikonia, i know ;)
[04:09] <rhYAFK> Feisty is really a huge upgrade from dapper.
[04:09] <Noodlesgc> is there any where i can download vlc player and install it on windows, because im on windows right now
[04:10] <ikonia> ooh
[04:10] <Parmenion> rhYAFK: yep :P
[04:10] <rhYAFK> I reformatted after dapper in seconds.
[04:10] <Parmenion> Noodlesgc: google for vlc

[04:12] <Parmenion> variant: its something like network manager except much better:P
[04:12] <Parmenion> i used to have the sys tray icon
[04:12] <mc44> nick_name: why do you want to do that?
[04:12] <Parmenion> but after a reformat after i wiped my /home to oblivion .... i forgot how i did it :\
[04:13] <Parmenion> the FAQs used to have them, but it seems they've moved
[04:13] <nick_name> so I can right click and have it start via my nautilus scripts
[04:13] <ikonia> nick_name thats not how it will work
[04:14] <nick_name> is there anyway to open the main menu other than from the taskbar?
[04:14] <Geist_> Is there an easy way to backup a harddrive to a FAT32 partion? Just taring it fails on the filesizelimit of 4 gig, so I need a way to split and compres and have accsesable parts. Oh, and just change the stores format is not an option :-(
[04:14] <nick_name> or a panel
[04:15] <sn0> Geist_ 4Gig is the limit of the fat32 filesystem
[04:15] <sn0> for max file size
[04:15] <Parmenion> need a little help getting the wicd systray icon
[04:15] <erUSUL> Geist_: try dar or the -M option to tar
[04:15] <sn0> you could split the files, or repartition with something that isn't such limited
[04:15] <Parmenion> anyone?
[04:15] <sn0> or backup to another pc if available over ssh/sftp
[04:16] <ad0le> How do I restart the remote desktop server form the command line?
[04:17] <erUSUL> ad0le: sudo shutdown -r now
[04:17] <Geist_> no, just have this one drive in the given format. and -M can't compress, as far as I know?
[04:17] <ad0le> no, I dont know the executable name
[04:17] <Pici> nick_name: You want to see the application browser? or the control panel?
[04:18] <sn0> ad0le i believe you use gconf to enable/disable the remote desktop built into gnome
[04:18] <nick_name> application browser
[04:18] <sn0> gconft--l iirc :)
[04:19] <sn0> gconftool sorry
[04:19] <ad0le> Im at work, I can ssh into my home machine but it looks like the RDesktop daemon stopped running, I just need to know how to start it back up :)
[04:19] <sn0> try gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true (haven't tested) so please check
[04:20] <Hobbsee> ad0le: i'd try running "rdesktop" as the executable - or at least trying that, then hitting tab

[04:21] <crtsan> ok
[04:22] <Hattorii> ikonia: what
[04:22] <mc44> Hattorii: you need to restart the terminal
[04:22] <ikonia> Hattorii your java issue has been explained to you about 4 times
[04:22] <ad0le> still no beans on the restart of rdesktop
[04:22] <nick_name> i don't have the directory "gnome-main-menu" in /usr/lib/

[04:24] <freez> hello all i need help edg wont detcect m network card (Realtek PHY RTL8201CL ) any one can help fixing this problem please . thanks
 Hattorii: you need to restart the terminal
[04:24] <Hattorii> that's an help ikonia
[04:24] <variant> there should be a !learn2read factoid..
[04:25] <Hattorii> specific questions leads to specific answers
[04:25] <ikonia> Hattorii because thats not true
[04:25] <Hattorii> it works
[04:25] <ikonia> Hattorii restarting the termnal will just re-parse bashrc
[04:25] <ikonia> you just needed to source it
[04:25] <Pici> nick_name: Why dont you open the window you want to know the application of, then go to a terminal, type `ps ax | grep something` where something is part of the possible application name.
[04:25] <ikonia> or set it manually
[04:25] <Hattorii> and that helped
[04:25] <Hattorii> u could tell me how to set manually

[04:27] <lynucs> why should i ever reinstall ?
[04:27] <matchstick> i have ubuntu loaded up from the CD, and when i click the install icon that it puts on the desktop the installer window pops up and then closes right away
[04:28] <variant> matchstick: yes
[04:28] <matchstick> any thoughts as to whats wrong?
[04:28] <variant> mlehrer: yes
[04:28] <wizard123> k

[04:28] <freez> my ubuntu edgy wont detcect my network card (Realtek PHY RTL8201CL ) any one can help fixing this problem please . thanks
[04:28] <variant> mlehrer: attempt to play a video/audio file and it will prompt you with the codec install window
[04:29] <haru> on my fiesty installation.. the only refresh rates detected are 60 and 85.. anyone know how do i force it to 75 Hz
[04:29] <smoenux> does someone know how to push the output from 'ls' to the paste buffer ? so that I can just paste the content on a website or something?
[04:29] <variant> mlehrer: with a choice of codecs (if there is more than one)
[04:29] <haru> smoenux, ls > filename.txt
[04:29] <haru> then open file and copy paste
[04:29] <Pici> smoenux: You can copy and paste out of a terminal window too...

[04:29] <haru> on my fiesty installation.. the only refresh rates detected are 60 and 85.. anyone know how do i force it to 75 Hz
[04:29] <mlehrer> variant: you have got to be kidding me, isn't there a way to just pre-install all codecs , dvd, java, flash support?  like with the linux mint install?
[04:30] <smoenux> haru, ya, that much I know. But I'm workin on a wee script for work, for other people who does not know... they just want to paste directly
[04:30] <Noodlesgc> the only refresh rate for me is 60Hz and 800 x 600 is there any way i can turn it up?
[04:30] <Parmenion> mlehrer: install ubuntu-restricted extras
[04:30] <smoenux> without having to copy and paste
[04:30] <Parmenion> comes with java, flash, mp3 and all
[04:30] <pike_> you guys like zenity or is there a better solution for helpful little scripts?
[04:30] <Toma-> mlehrer: isnt Mint based on ubuntu?

[04:32] <Toma-> ok
[04:32] <variant> mlehrer: whats wrong with having the codecs automatically installed when you play a video?
[04:32] <Parmenion> mlehrer: look under add/remove programs
[04:32] <nick_name> i  want to be able to open my Main Menu as it is now (currently in my top panel) but without it being in my top panel (from terminal or Alt+F2), is there no way to do that?
[04:32] <mlehrer> variant: how is vlc able to install new codecs
[04:33] <Parmenion> search for "restricted" under all available applications
[04:33] <variant> mlehrer: it comes with them built in, which is why it is not included by default in ubuntu
[04:33] <freez> my ubuntu edgy wont detcect my network card (Realtek PHY RTL8201CL ) any one can help fixing this problem please . thanks
[04:33] <variant> mlehrer: as it is legally a grey area in some countries and probably totaly illegal in some too.
[04:33] <freez> no one have a clue how to fix this or what ?!!!!!!

[04:34] <matchstick> anyone know why when i have ubuntu loaded, and click the install icon on the desktop that the install window opens and then closes right away?
[04:34] <variant> freez: we heard you the first time, repeating the question will get you banned rather than getting your issue resolved
[04:34] <Rprp> pike_: oke, thnx i will try...
[04:34] <pike_> Rprp: not sure with the whole wine oss thing
[04:34] <mlehrer> variant: ok so in other words, codec/java/flash support still sucks.  ugh
[04:34] <freez> so no one can help . thats what are you trying to tel me variant ?
[04:34] <variant> matchstick: you could try running it from a terminal and that should give some informative output
[04:35] <Forgott3n> Can someone help me with trying to config my D-Link Wireless to static?
[04:35] <Pici> matchstick: I think it would be easier to download and use the Alternate CD than trying to figure out why its not working.
[04:35] <cute_bettong> anyone know if a zune media player will run in ubuntu?
[04:35] <variant> Pici: not at all, as the alternate cd might not work either
[04:35] <kuhcho> Parmenion: I like Xchat too but in ubuntu 7.04 there is no... onliy XChat-GNOME..... woh can I install the regular XChat
[04:35] <variant> Pici: best to find out what is causing the issue in the first place
[04:36] <variant> Pici: with a few simple steps
[04:36] <Pici> variant: But the alternate doesnt have a gui, so less points of failure
[04:36] <Parmenion> kuhcho: lol, yes you can .... search in synaptic
[04:36] <freez> do i have to uninstall ubuntu and look for another distro then ?!
[04:36] <skoenman> can someone tell me if i install ubuntu desktop edition is it going to be slower if i use it as a server instead of ubuntu server????
[04:36] <variant> matchstick: open a terminal (alt f2 and type gnome-terminal)
[04:36] <kuhcho> realy?! just a sec
[04:36] <kuhcho> :)
[04:36] <matchstick> ok will do now variant
[04:36] <herbaliser> how do in solve the package has unmet dependencies error when using apt-get
[04:36] <Pici> freez: hold on a sec, let me see if I can find some information for you
[04:36] <variant> matchstick: from there run sudo ubiquity
[04:36] <Parmenion> skoenman: its just that server doesnt come with a default gui ..
[04:37] <Forgott3n> skoenman: depends on your system, but most likely yes. Server edition is text (console) only
[04:37] <matchstick> run in terminal?
[04:37] <variant> matchstick: yes, type sudo ubiquity
[04:37] <freez> ok Pici that would be really appreciated since i installed edgy one month ago and cant figure out how to get in internet
[04:37] <skoenman> k so server is better for running server???
[04:37] <kuhcho> Parmenion: silly me...... :) 10x a lot :)
[04:37] <Forgott3n> no thx for me :(
[04:37] <skoenman> i can always putt off the gui if i want
[04:37] <Parmenion> kuhcho: np :P
[04:38] <Forgott3n> and I think you can always just install gnome afterwards
[04:38] <axbard> can any one tell me what the command for deleting a folder with all its contains.....
[04:38] <Rprp> pike_: doesnt work, dont have sound in CSS :(
[04:38] <Parmenion> axbard:  rm -vr /yourdername
[04:38] <variant> axbard: rm -rf /path/to/folder
[04:38] <Forgott3n> Parmenion: hey, could you give me a hand with my atheros card?
[04:38] <Parmenion> axbard:  rm -vr /yourfoldername
[04:38] <kuhcho> I was looking in the add/rem section........ tottaly forgot 'bout synaptic :P
[04:38] <Parmenion> variant: -rf?
[04:38] <variant> Parmenion: recursive, force
[04:38] <Parmenion> Forgott3n: yeah sure ... what happened to it ?
[04:38] <matchstick> what am i looking for variant?  sorry im new at this, just trying to install linux on a spare drive i have to learn
[04:39] <axbard> thx all
[04:39] <herbaliser> how do in solve the package has unmet dependencies error when using apt-get

[04:39] <mc44> herbaliser: what are you trying to install?
[04:39] <variant> matchstick: did the installer start up when you typed that command?
[04:39] <Parmenion> Forgott3n: ill go read the post now =)
[04:39] <herbaliser> ftdforlinux
[04:39] <herbaliser> compiling from source
[04:39] <Forgott3n> Parmenion: thanks mate :)
[04:39] <matchstick> no it says Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler)
[04:40] <matchstick> Traveback (most recent call last)
[04:40] <variant> matchstick: ah, that sucks
[04:40] <matchstick> then has a list of files
[04:40] <ikonia> herbaliser is there not a package for it ?
[04:40] <mc44> herbaliser: well, you need the dependencies it wants as well :)
[04:40] <variant> matchstick: could be caused by a dodgey cd/iso
[04:40] <matchstick> damn, the checksum was good on the iso....
[04:40] <TSWoodV> I want to run samba swat, however, I don't want to set a root password for the privilege.  Any way to get swat to fully run without doing this?
[04:40] <matchstick> must be the burn
[04:41] <variant> matchstick: might be worth trying ubiquity in text mode (which is whatyou will ahve to do on the alternate cd anyway)
[04:41] <hoffmanc> hello: is there a dpkg switch to repopulate an /etc directory after one has ignorantly rm -rf'd it?  I want to get the default configuration back.
[04:41] <herbaliser> ikonia yes but ain't working
[04:41] <adaptr> no chance, restore from backups
[04:41] <PriceChild> hoffmanc, reinstally
[04:41] <ikonia> herbaliser define "not working"
[04:41] <adaptr>  /etc holds ALL of the systems configuration, the system won't even boot without it
[04:41] <agresor> how to install ipv6 on ubuntu ?
[04:41] <Pici> freez: Do you see your adapter if you do an `ifconfig` in ther terminal?
[04:41] <adaptr> it is installed
[04:42] <gordonjcp> hoffmanc: that's really time for a reinstall
[04:42] <ikonia> agresorits already installed
[04:42] <variant> !ubiquity
[04:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubiquity - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:42] <hoffmanc> I tried "aptitude reinstall", but it isn't repopulating the etc parts fully
[04:42] <gordonjcp> hoffmanc: chalk it up to experience ;-)
[04:42] <matchstick> that variant, ill try to reburn it
[04:42] <ikonia> hoffmanc it won't - either restore from a backup, or re-install the whole box
[04:42] <Parmenion> Forgott3n: try using wicd to manage your connection, wpa2 works for me only via that
[04:42] <matchstick> thanks*
[04:42] <variant> matchstick: np
[04:42] <hoffmanc> let me restate the question.  It isn't the entire /etc directory, it is specifically /etc/postgresql
[04:42] <agresor> !ipv6
[04:42] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[04:42] <variant> matchstick: wait a sec
[04:42] <matchstick> sure
[04:43] <cute_bettong> anyone here good with errors like this" nvalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'.
[04:43] <Parmenion> Forgott3n: as as the latest poster said, try connecting to an unsecured network
[04:43] <ikonia> hoffmanc then remove the postgres package and re-install it
[04:43] <ma3x> can I somehow write audio tracks on a image device and then mount the tracks?
[04:43] <cute_bettong> im trying to mount a dvd-rw i made in vista
[04:43] <hoffmanc> I've tried "aptitude reinstall postgresql", but it doesn't seem to be reinstalling that particular directory
[04:43] <ikonia> ma3x yes its just a treated as a scsi device
[04:43] <Forgott3n> Parmenion: yeah, it was working just fine prior to attempting to make it static
[04:43] <Forgott3n> I could connect to my own secured ap via the networkmanager
[04:43] <ikonia> hoffmanc remove postgress then re-install it
[04:43] <adaptr> hoffmanc then you're missing something
[04:43] <Parmenion> Forgott3n: why do you want it static then ?
[04:43] <ma3x> ikonia, first off how can I burn them as ISO img? does k3b have that option?
[04:44] <axbard>  How can I search in the terminal for a file ?
[04:44] <variant> does anyone know how to run ubiquity in text mode from the desktop live cd? can't seem to find any documentation for ubiquity :E
[04:44] <herbaliser> ikonia on the side they tell me to install package openftd but can't find it
[04:44] <ikonia> ma3x most dvd burning software has an image option or mkisofs
[04:44] <hoffmanc> adaptr, you mean I'm not refering to the right package?
[04:44] <Forgott3n> Parmenion: running a counter-strike server and I don't want to be prompted for a password everytime the server boots.. seeing on how I plan to make it headless
[04:44] <PriceChild> variant, you can't run from text mode off of the desktop cd
[04:44] <ikonia> herbaliser when you try to install the package you get that error ?
[04:44] <FrOz> hell
[04:44] <PriceChild> !alternate | variant
[04:44] <ubotu> variant: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[04:44] <cute_bettong> anyone know why ubuntu cannot seem to read the dvd-rw's i made when i was running vista?
[04:44] <Forgott3n> or the keyring for that matter
[04:44] <ikonia> cute_bettongbad burn ?
[04:44] <adaptr> hoffmanc I mean if reinstalling postgresql doe snot restore a default /etc directory, then you're probably missing parts of the install
[04:44] <ikonia> cute_bettong how are you trying to read it ?
[04:44] <variant> PriceChild: why not? there is no command line option to use text mode? that seems pretty strange
[04:45] <adaptr> hoffmanc do an aptitude search postgresql to see what the possible packages are
[04:45] <freez> !
[04:45] <PriceChild> variant, because it works by copying a working system over onto the hard drive
[04:45] <herbaliser> no i'm getting it when i compile from source and try to install the libxul-dev package
[04:45] <TSWoodV> cute_bettong: I've read somewhere how Vista doesn't burn in a purely standard format.
[04:45] <cute_bettong> ikonia, im putting it in the drive and a box will pop up that says it cannot read the UDF volume becasue of an invalid option
[04:45] <PriceChild> variant, the alternate installer extracts the debs
[04:45] <hoffmanc> adaptr, okay, I'll give it a try, thx
[04:45] <ikonia> cute_bettong burnt with an incompatible option
[04:45] <ikonia> ?
[04:45] <freez> well i guess its hopeless , have a nice day all
[04:45] <FrOz> hello
[04:45] <variant> PriceChild: i see.. in that case there is no curses version of ubiquity then.. thats what i thought the alternative installer was
[04:46] <PriceChild> variant, the alternate installer is a version of the debian-installer
[04:46] <PriceChild> FrOz, hi
[04:46] <cute_bettong> ikonia, is it still possible to get the data off the disks? i really need my files and stuff....i hate vista with a passion and would not like to use it to get my data back
[04:46] <FrOz> i am chatting by azureus
[04:46] <CheshireViking> is it possible to use either the alternate cd, or the desktop cd to boot to a command line system?
[04:46] <variant> PriceChild: is there any issue with apt-get isntalling debian-installer ont he live cd then? rather than downloading a new iso?
[04:46] <PriceChild> CheshireViking, desktop cd
[04:46] <PriceChild> CheshireViking, once booted just press "ctrl+alt+f1"
[04:46] <stefanus> hello
[04:46] <PriceChild> variant, Can't do it.
[04:46] <variant> PriceChild: why not?
[04:47] <PriceChild> variant, because the debs aren't held on the desktop cd
[04:47] <variant> PriceChild: yeah, with networking of course
[04:47] <PriceChild> variant, _USE_ the alternate cd for a cli install.
[04:47] <FrOz> i can install xubuntu in virtualbox
[04:47] <FrOz> ????????
[04:47] <stefanus> i want to upgrade ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 but i am not sure what is going to happen to all the programs i have installed, all my files and all the settings i made. do they stay the same or is everything going to be deleted?
[04:47] <variant> PriceChild: seems like a waste of cd's :)
[04:47] <PriceChild> variant, And who's fault is that? ;)
[04:48] <PriceChild> FrOz, yes.
[04:48] <variant> stefanus: most programs will be updated to newer versions
[04:48] <cute_bettong> so there is no possible way to get the data off of the dvd's i swear im never touching windows again >.<
[04:48] <FrOz> thanks pricechild
[04:48] <CheshireViking> PriceChild, thats not what I'm looking for, I've got a laptop which won't boot the live cd completely, it hangs part way through booting & I wanted to see whether I could edit the xorg.conf to change  the video driver before it starts gnome
[04:48] <variant> stefanus: most of your settings will remain the same, some things might change unexpectedly though
[04:48] <PriceChild> CheshireViking, tried safe graphics mode?
[04:48] <variant> PriceChild: not mine.. it's not me with the problem
[04:48] <stefanus> and my files?
[04:48] <Parmenion> CheshireViking: use the alternate cd ?
[04:48] <CheshireViking> PriceChild, yes, tried that, i just ended up with a black screen
[04:48] <Parmenion> it doesnt have a GUI
[04:49] <cute_bettong> so theres no way to get the data off the dvd-rw without vista?
[04:49] <PriceChild> CheshireViking, and ctrl+alt+f1 didn't take you anywhere?
[04:49] <FrOz> you have a nvidia
[04:49] <FrOz> ???????????
[04:49] <PriceChild> cute_bettong, not unless you know what format you wrote data to it in
[04:49] <TSWoodV> stefanus: With an upgrade, your user files (under /home) are safe.  The programs you've installed, if via dpkg/apt/aptitude/synaptic/etc., will be upgraded.  Some configs may have to change.  If you've manually installed via tarballs, then you may have to upgrade those manually and recompile.
[04:49] <variant> PriceChild: i'm thinking along the lines of the gentoo live/install cd.. which allows you to do graphical install or curses installer or commandline install from the one cd :) (plug for gentoo :))
[04:49] <stefg> !upgrade | stefanus
[04:49] <ubotu> stefanus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:49] <CheshireViking> Parmenion, I want to be sure it will work before I install
[04:49] <PriceChild> variant, gentoo is ace... but ubuntu doesn't support that kind of install sorry.
[04:49] <variant> matchstick: sorry, looks like you gotta either burn the cd again or try the alternate cd
[04:49] <axbard> How can I search in the terminal for a file ?
[04:49] <stefanus> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[04:49] <variant> PriceChild: yeah, thats ok
[04:49] <cute_bettong> PriceChild, isen't there a way to ask the computer to see what format it "might" have been written in?
[04:50] <PriceChild> cute_bettong, i don't know myself sorry
[04:50] <stefg> axbard: locate <file>
[04:50] <delire> cute_bettong: 'file somefile.name' ?
[04:50] <xavi_> eo
[04:50] <axbard> ty
[04:50] <CheshireViking> PriceChild, I didn't think about trying ctrl-alt-f1, i'll try it when i get home, generally everything seems frozen - mouse doesn't move, ctrl-alt-backspace didn't do anything
[04:50] <stefg> !cli | axbard
[04:50] <ubotu> axbard: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:50] <PriceChild> CheshireViking, i'd recommend an alternate install then
[04:50] <cute_bettong> delire, well i don't even know what format vista wrote the darn things in... if i can just get access to the disks i can pull the data off of them i need
[04:50] <hoffmanc> is there an aptitude switch to get a file listing on remote packages?
[04:50] <variant> cute_bettong: can you not mount them manually?
[04:51] <delire> cute_bettong: file returns the format from a known list of types
[04:51] <cute_bettong> variant, i don't know how to do that can you assist me
[04:51] <delire> cute_bettong: the command 'file' i mean
[04:51] <variant> cute_bettong: try opening them with k3b, it should at least tell you the kind of data contained within
[04:51] <variant> cute_bettong: open a terminal and type sudo -i
[04:52] <CheshireViking> PriceChild, thats what I was afraid of, because its not my laptop, I wanted to be sure it'd work ok first from the live cd, but if its the only option, I'll have to try that - annoying thing is that a dapper livecd doesn't crash, just edgy & fiesty - i suppose i could install dapper & then upgrade to edgy & upgrade to fiesty
[04:52] <variant> cute_bettong: from there type mount /dev/dvd /mnt
[04:52] <hoffmanc> or how about a switch to just download the packages, and not install them?
[04:52] <variant> cute_bettong: then type ls /mnt
[04:53] <cute_bettong> variant, i love you man...it worked flawlessly its mounted read only but i don't care ^_^
[04:53] <PriceChild> variant, not best practice to mount things on /mnt
[04:53] <hoffmanc> nvm, aptitude install -d does the trick
[04:53] <stefg> CheshireViking: That might an issue with upstart or libata ... so you might end up installing dapper fine, but breaking the system when upgrading to edgy
[04:53] <PriceChild> variant, mount them on /mnt/something
[04:54] <variant> PriceChild: i know, but it's most predictable.. i know that /mnt will always exist but i don't know for sure that /media/cdrom or /media/dvd exists for example
[04:54] <PriceChild> true... well done :)
[04:54] <variant> PriceChild: or that.. i suppose i could have added a "mkdir /mnt/dvd" to the instructions
[04:54] <CheshireViking> stefg, very true, i'll have to find out how much the owner wants ubuntu & whether they want me to take the chance
[04:54] <cute_bettong> im just glad that it works and is letting me copy the data off the dvd onto my system ^_^
[04:54] <variant> cute_bettong: good job
[04:54] <cute_bettong> in the future imma be smarter and use something that actually works lol
[04:55] <cute_bettong> i cannot beleve the mess vista made of the filesystems on these disks
[04:55] <PriceChild> Pelo, not really a debate :)
[04:55] <variant> cute_bettong: not vista then ;)
[04:55] <stefg> CheshireViking: dapper is just fine, if you don't need compiz or specific WIFI-laptop support
[04:55] <variant> Pelo: type /lastlog variant or /lastlog pricechild :) (depending on irc client)
[04:55] <cute_bettong> variant, it's a really sad os...i feel bad for the people that got stuck with it on there dell's and don't know what to do about windows ME II
[04:55] <Pelo> stefg,  the same can actualy be said or feity
[04:56] <Pelo> variant,  thank you
[04:56] <elpargo> variant: well network manager is a very nice improvement even for non-wiki networks
[04:56] <mribas> hola
[04:57] <CheshireViking> stefg, it will need wifi but i'm not sure which driver, i'll give it a go with the live cd anyway, at least i know that will work
[04:57] <variant> elpargo: sorry?
[04:57] <Nanu> hi room ,,, i have ubuntu  gnome,, i wanna install KDE,, anyone wanna help me,, pm me plz
[04:57] <stefg> Pelo: Dapper is LTS and has it's infancy behind it... edgy and feisty introduced new technologies, which aren't that well tested, namely upstart and the transition to libata
[04:57] <DarkED> in ubuntu, how do i compile an application from source? is there a tutorial that tells how to do it and the packages needed?
[04:57] <variant> DarkED: for a start you will need build-essential
[04:57] <elpargo> Nanu: install kubuntu-desktop package and it will transform your evn into kubuntu
[04:58] <variant> DarkED: and compiling software is quite straigt forward but are you sure you need to?
[04:58] <variant> DarkED: what program do you need to install?
[04:58] <elpargo> variant: that is a great improvement of 7.04
[04:58] <variant> elpargo: yes
[04:58] <pike_> DarkED: sudo apt-get install build-essential  then unpack the tar.gz or whatever file you downloaded and open the readme and install files for instructions
[04:58] <DarkED> variant: it's the game 'cube'
[04:58] <variant> DarkED: you can apt-get install that
[04:58] <Pelo> stefg,  I was just taking a cheap shot at the wifi support in fiesty
[04:58] <DarkED> variant: no, it's not in the repos
[04:58] <DarkED> variant: i did check
[04:59] <variant> DarkED: i'm fairly certain it is. i'm not on ubuntu right now though
[04:59] <stefg> Pelo: ok, i see :-) ... now i catched the joke :-)
[04:59] <variant> DarkED: type apt-cache search cube
[04:59] <variant> DarkED: it should list one or two things
[04:59] <scorch> how do I get hold of the "kernel-source"?
[05:00] <scorch> need it for nvidia-drivers
[05:00] <shawn34> when i add a menu item with command (wine '/home/shawn/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Max Payne 2/MaxPayne2.exe') it doesn't work, but if i put that in the command line it works fine
[05:00] <shawn34> what am i doing wrong?
[05:00] <variant> scorch: if you follow the nvidia installation guide you won't need to mess with that
[05:00] <freez> noway but to uninstall ubuntu
[05:00] <variant> !nvidia | scorch
[05:00] <ubotu> scorch: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:01] <linoleum> anyone knows where I could catch the new nvidia beta drivers 100.14.03 in a ,deb package?
[05:01] <stefg> shawn34: tried real quotes " , not high commas '
[05:01] <shawn34> i did
[05:01] <shawn34> stefg, i did that first
[05:01] <elbart> hello
[05:02] <stefg> shawn34: must have something to do with escaping the spaces in the filename
[05:02] <ston> Sorry for stupid question: how i have to understand word 'interface' ??
[05:02] <mtwk2001> Anyone know if a Dell 966 printer is supported?
[05:03] <elbart> i am new to ubuntu and tried to activate both monitors for my system
[05:03] <cute_bettong> ok now i put the other dvd rw in there nad it isen't showing the cd rom drive how do i make it so that it works again lol
[05:03] <nick_name> is there a way to start the Applications Main Menu from the terminal? or any other way other than the task panel?
[05:03] <elbart> if i use twin mode, everything woeks fine
[05:03] <DarkED> hey all, sorry my computer locked up
[05:03] <delire> scorch: if you're on Feisty, just install the NVIDIA drivers using System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager/
[05:03] <DarkED> it always does that right when i'm getting help with something
[05:03] <crackintosh> Is there any way that I can get computers on my internal network to access a computer via the lan address instead of the domain? i.e. My website is hosted on my office network and connected via cable modem. There are other computers located on this network. When they try to connect to the domain where my website is hosted, is there a way to tell them that it faster to connect via the internal network?
[05:03] <pike_> ston: i didnt see your earlier post. what problem are you having?
[05:03] <stefg> !print | mtwk2001
[05:03] <ubotu> mtwk2001: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[05:04] <ston> pike_: how i have to understand word 'interface' ??
[05:04] <elbart> but if i maximize my a window, it's maximized over both screens
[05:04] <pike_> ston: network interface?
[05:04] <elbart> *screens
[05:04] <stefg> crackintosh: look at /etc/hosts
[05:04] <ston> pike_ i don't know:)
[05:04] <pike_> ston: what is your native language?
[05:04] <hoffmanc> okay, so I just ran a dpkg --contents over all installed packages, and piped through grep looking for "/etc/postgresql/8.2", and got no hits.  How could no package I have ever installed have this directory?
[05:04] <crackintosh> stefg: but can I do this network wide via a linksys router?
[05:04] <delire> ston: network interface basically means "the name given to your network card"
[05:04] <ston> pike_ : why do you ask?
[05:04] <Baktaah> Does anyone know of a program to take a bunch of .png files and make them into .svg and resize them at the same time?
[05:05] <delire> pike_: 'network interface' is pretty obscure in any language
[05:05] <mad> hi
[05:05] <scorch> delire: feisty is 7.**?
[05:05] <delire> scorch: yes. 7.04
[05:05] <brunoew> I have problems with apache2 and libapache-mod-php5 after install updates in my Ubuntu 6.06...
[05:05] <stefg> crackintosh: can't tell.. my understanding is that you have to tell every individual box to access <domainname> by a LAN-IP, not by DNS lookup
[05:05] <Snap> is there a tool to adjust gamma , brightness, contrast?
[05:06] <Insolit> hi all
[05:06] <cute_bettong> variant, ok i put the next disk in but it still shows the files from the previous disk?
[05:06] <mad> kaffeine crashed by clicking on the dvb-tab, when running as sudo it doesnt crash.. anybody knows why?
[05:06] <variant> cute_bettong: you will have to run umount /mnt
[05:06] <hoffmanc> okay, so I just ran a dpkg --contents over all installed packages, and piped through grep looking for "/etc/postgresql/8.2", and got no hits.  How could no package I have ever installed have this directory?  I am the one that pwned my /etc/postgresql directory, btw
[05:06] <Insolit> where can i see the mapping between a network device and its name to the OS?
[05:06] <cute_bettong> ok
[05:06] <scorch> delire: bah, I'm still on 6.**
[05:06] <variant> cute_bettong: then run the other command again with the new disk in
[05:07] <Insolit> i mean how do i know if my wireless card is eth1 or eth0??
[05:07] <variant> cute_bettong: really, the disks should be mounted automatically when you insert them in ubuntu
[05:07] <mad> heres the paste: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18396/ ->  kaffeine crashed by clicking on the dvb-tab, when running as sudo it doesnt crash.. anybody knows why?
[05:07] <delire> ston: on Linux your 'network interface' is probably 'eth0' or 'eth1' or 'wlan0' or 'ath0'. you can use the System->Administration->Network to see which is currently active or inactive on your machine.
[05:07] <stefg> mad: looks like a permission problem better asked in #kubuntu
[05:07] <Snap> !gamma settings
[05:07] <Insolit> delire: was that to me?
[05:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamma settings - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:07] <R3ddy> i cant make ubuntu connect to my router.. any help?
[05:07] <variant> cute_bettong: for future reference, there is a nice panel applet that you can add to the the gnome-panel by right clicking it and selecting "add to panel", from there select the disk mounter applet and hit add
[05:07] <delire> ston: a faster way however is typing /sbin/ifconfig in a Terminal and hitting ENTER.
[05:07] <mad> stefg ok
[05:08] <delire> Insolit: oh.. i don't know.
[05:08] <hoffmanc> could these directories be created as part of post-install hooks? and if so, is there a way to grep through the hooks in each package?
[05:08] <delire> Insolit: i thought ston was the one having problems with terms.
[05:08] <stefg> R3ddy: wired LAN or Wifi ?
[05:08] <cute_bettong> whats the app called?
[05:08] <cute_bettong> variant, what is the app called?
[05:08] <variant> R3ddy: how do you connect to the router normally? via dhcp or is it one of those things with usb connectors?
[05:08] <variant> cute_bettong: disk mounter
[05:09] <variant> cute_bettong: it's in the "add to panel" menu
[05:09] <R3ddy> dhcp. ive gor an intel pro wirless card
[05:09] <delire> hoffmanc: how about 'sudo dpkg -S /etc/postgresql/8.2'
[05:09] <R3ddy> got*
[05:09] <ston> delire: ok thanks but i mean what mean graphic's interface or text interface
[05:09] <stefg> !wifi | R3ddy
[05:09] <variant> R3ddy: ah, your connecting wirelessly then. you using feisty?
[05:09] <ubotu> R3ddy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:09] <Baktaah> Does anyone know of a program to take a bunch of .png files and make them into .svg and resize them at the same time?
[05:09] <R3ddy> variant: erhm.. ubuntu desktop 7.04
[05:10] <Parmenion> lol R3ddyt thats feisty :P
[05:10] <variant> Baktaah: not sure about making them specifically to svg but image-magic is an excellent suite of tools for doing that kind of manipulations on buld
[05:10] <variant> Baktaah: bulk i mean
[05:10] <funky> hi
[05:10] <delire> ston: ok. text interface usually refers to the command line. a Terminal is used to enter command lines on Linux.
[05:10] <funky> whats the repository name for something like non-free in debian ?
[05:10] <variant> R3ddy: then you should have a network manager that lists avaialable wireless networks in the top right of the window
[05:10] <delire> funky: probably multiverse
[05:10] <Baktaah> variant:  okay =) thanks gonna try it
[05:10] <stefg> Baktaah: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php
[05:10] <soundray> variant, Baktaah: imagemagick is great, but I don't think it does vectorization (png -> svg)
[05:10] <funky> Im looking for the madwifi-{source,tools,doc}
[05:11] <funky> delire: I got multiverse in my source.list
[05:11] <variant> soundray: no, i wasn't sure about hat my self
[05:11] <derventer> does anybody know how to update only wireless extensions?
[05:11] <Baktaah> soundray: it doesn't have to be SVG per se, it can just change the extension is just as fine
[05:11] <hoffmanc> delire: would that only work if the package is already installed?
[05:11] <funky> derventer: upgrading just wireless-tools?
[05:11] <delire> ston: the command line, or text-interface on Linux is much more powerful that that of Windows. in fact you can use it to operate nearly every element of your computer, and even others using it.
[05:11] <R3ddy> variant: yes, i connect to NETGEAR, my issd, but the internet connection isnt there
[05:11] <derventer> no wireless tools>wireless extensions
[05:12] <Parmenion> guys, should i go for a diploma in computer engineering or Information Technology ?
[05:12] <cute_bettong> variant, it's not showing the disk icon in the bar O-o
[05:12] <variant> R3ddy: strange, you can't ping www.google.com?
[05:12] <R3ddy> no
[05:12] <soundray> Baktaah: to minimize information loss when you're scaling, I suggest you stick with png before and after
[05:12] <funky> wireless-tools include wireless extensions derventer
[05:12] <delire> hoffmanc: i'm a bit behind on your overall problem. the above command is only useful for finding out which package put or created the given file or directory.
[05:12] <derventer> wireless tools is version 28<wireless extension is 17
[05:12] <R3ddy> i cant even connect to my router (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[05:12] <variant> R3ddy: can you ping this ip address: <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:12] <variant> R3ddy: ah
[05:12] <variant> R3ddy: forget that then
[05:12] <Baktaah> soundray: ehm what?
[05:13] <variant> R3ddy: so, does the network manager say "connecting to ... etc"?
[05:13] <R3ddy> no
[05:13] <derventer> how can i upgrade then?
[05:13] <variant> R3ddy: when you select your netowrk what happens exactly?
[05:13] <ston> delire: what about graphic interface??
[05:13] <hoffmanc> delire, I rm -rf'd my /etc/postgresql directory, and I'm trying to get the default one reinstalled, but uninstalling and reinstalling every package with 'postgresql' in the name has been unsuccessful.
[05:13] <derventer> synaptic is not the solution
[05:13] <Parmenion> variant: it think its due to his drivers ...
[05:13] <stefg> !upgrade | derventer
[05:13] <ubotu> derventer: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:13] <Parmenion> might need ndiswrapper for his case variant
[05:13] <variant> hoffmanc: not sure but try dpkg-reconfigure postgresql
[05:13] <R3ddy> variant: nothing, really.. i select NETGEAR, and i click the OK button
[05:13] <variant> Parmenion: maybe :/
[05:14] <delire> !cli | ston
[05:14] <ubotu> ston: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[05:14] <Parmenion> variant: or he should try wifi-radar or wicd
[05:14] <hoffmanc> variant, just tried it, no dice
[05:14] <delire> ston: the graphic interface is what you're using now. that's what you're using now.
[05:14] <variant> Parmenion: I don't know so much about wifi.. maybe u can help?
[05:14] <delire> oops, sorry for the echo
[05:14] <Parmenion> they work better for me than network-manager
[05:14] <nick_name> is there a way to start the Applications Main Menu from the terminal? or any other way other than the task panel?
[05:14] <variant> hoffmanc: sorry, dunno then
[05:14] <Parmenion> alright ... not too experienced myself :\
[05:14] <funky> delire: upgrade your kernel, your wifi module and the wireless-tools
[05:14] <Parmenion> R3ddy: can you see the wireless networks ?
[05:15] <R3ddy> yes
[05:15] <delire> Parmenion: yes iwconfig/iwlist do work better. network-manager is a problem with some cards.
[05:15] <hoffmanc> this is really confusing, why doesn't the package put etc files back that it needs?
[05:15] <delire> funky: talking to me?
[05:15] <funky> then you'll be sure you have upgraded the wireless extensions
[05:15] <R3ddy> parmenion: it lists NETGEAR
[05:15] <funky> delire: no, to derventer
[05:15] <Parmenion> R3ddy: then its a matter of connecting to the router ?
[05:15] <delire> funky: ;)
[05:15] <funky> sorry
[05:15] <elpargo> hoffmanc: it shouldn't as it will overwrite ur configs
[05:15] <Parmenion> R3ddy: ok
[05:15] <Blastur> hello.. i'm trying to run Ubuntu Live CD on my machine.. however, as the CD loads the UI, my screen goes black and puts up a sign saying "Non optimal mode 1440x900" and i can't see anything. If I boot the system in "safe graphics mode", it works, but the screen is too little to run the installer (the windows are too big, so I cannot press the Next-button in the Installer).. I have also tried to put more boot-options, like vga=7
[05:16] <Parmenion> R3ddy: turn off the encryption(if any) on your wireless network
[05:16] <R3ddy> parmenion: its an open network.. no restrictions.. i cant see why it shouldnt work
[05:16] <hoffmanc> even when my configs don't exist? Even when nothing exists?
[05:16] <Parmenion> R3ddy: :P alright
[05:16] <psghost> ghsot
[05:16] <delire> R3ddy: have you tried uninstalling network-manager? sudo dpkg -P network-manager
[05:16] <elpargo> hoffmanc: there is an option to force the overwrite, which package manager are u using?
[05:16] <hoffmanc> Can I somehow remove the package and remove ubuntu's memory of the package every being installed?
[05:16] <Parmenion> then , R3ddy try out wifi-radar from the repositories ... if it doesnt work for you, ive got another option; wicd
[05:16] <hoffmanc> aptitude
[05:16] <cute_bettong> god i love the new ubuntu...vista ant got nothing on it XD
[05:16] <delire> R3ddy: it's a problem for some people. some people though have found that simply disabling and reenabling the device works fine.
[05:17] <variant> cute_bettong: did you get the disk mounter working?
[05:17] <tito> Does anyone know how I can capture an rtsp stream?
[05:17] <R3ddy> delire: how do i do that?
[05:17] <variant> tito: streamripper
[05:17] <delire> tito: streamripper
[05:17] <R3ddy> you mean, my network card?
[05:17] <cute_bettong> variant, for some reason the little app isen't showing up not sure why
[05:17] <delire> R3ddy: yes.
[05:17] <Parmenion> R3ddy: use synaptic and remove network-manager
[05:17] <variant> tito: there is a nice gnome gui for streamripper (gstreamripper) but it's not in the repos afaik
[05:17] <variant> cute_bettong: odd
[05:17] <Parmenion> then install wicd(look in sourceforge)
[05:17] <stefg> Blastur: rather go for the 'alternate' install
[05:17] <R3ddy> parmenion: im really a n00b, and im not very familiar with linux
[05:18] <hoffmanc> elpargo, aptitude
[05:18] <delire> R3ddy: Parmenion is right. i'd give that a shot. even just use the old network-admin
[05:18] <aa^way> how to copy desktop items to /var/www?
[05:18] <ston> delire: thank you very much
[05:18] <stefg> !alternate | Blastur
[05:18] <ubotu> Blastur: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[05:18] <variant> Parmenion: you should really help him install it as i don't think he knows what he's doing
[05:18] <axbard> hmmm any tip wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\
[05:18] <delire> ston: a pleasure.
[05:18] <Blastur> stefg: ahh, okay, .. will do! Thanks a bunch
[05:18] <aa^way> tryed sudo cp /home/<user>/Desktop/a /var/www
[05:18] <Pelo> aa^way,  gksu nautilus /var/www
[05:18] <elpargo> hoffmanc: I believe reinstall will do the work
[05:18] <foxiness> what is the best option wiht clamscan "argument" for first use?
[05:18] <Parmenion> R3ddy: you just need to open synaptic and then search for network-manager
[05:18] <variant> aa^way: that is how you do it
[05:19] <hoffmanc> elpargo, that was the first thing I tried; does dpkg have a more explicit overwrite option?
[05:19] <chrismurf> is it possible to upgrade from Dapper Server --> Feisty Server directly?
[05:19] <variant> aa^way: with apache the default webroot is /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ afaik
[05:19] <variant> chrismurf: possible but ill advised.. go via edgy first
[05:19] <Parmenion> after which, R3ddy you need to do a complete removal(right click, completely remove) of network-manager and network-manager-gnome(or something like that)
[05:19] <chrismurf> variant, okay - thnaks.
[05:20] <Pelo> axbard,  try asking in #winehq
[05:20] <raphael_> is there any danger what so ever of data loss when doing a net update to feisty?
[05:20] <fsck> hey! i wanna control the master volume using softvolume contol! how to? i tried some searches but of no use
[05:21] <Parmenion> then, go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573
[05:21] <Parmenion> R3ddy: then download wicd and install it
[05:21] <cute_bettong> raphael, there is always a chance of data loss during any upgrade that dosent go right
[05:21] <foxiness> raphael_: anyway its recommand to do backup for in case
[05:21] <Parmenion> then run it from your applications->internet
[05:21] <cute_bettong> raphael, yea always back up man...it's just better to be safe then sorry :3
[05:21] <Parmenion> you should be able to connect from there (works for me)
[05:21] <karimfayez> hey guys i am forming an egyptian loco team.. now i have an irc channel, wiki web page, and i requested a forum today..but i requested the mailing list 4 days ago and i didnt get any reply..is that normal??
[05:22] <elpargo> hoffmanc: did you try the -f flag?
[05:22] <adaptr> what does that have to do with Ubuntu ?
[05:22] <KJF> What's better, ubuntu or vista?
[05:22] <Koala007> hello everyone, i need a hint. I'm trying to install freeradius-1.3.6, but command ./configure tell to me "OpenSSL support ... no" when compiling rpm_eap_tls. But i have openssl installed over aptitude. I don't know how to solve it. Have i copy OpenSSL libs to anywhere? Can anybody help me?
[05:22] <adaptr> next
[05:22] <zeroday> KJF: depends
[05:22] <Amarilis> hi guys
[05:22] <adaptr> Koala007 you need the openssl dev package
[05:22] <Parmenion> KJF: if in the rare event you love malware, vista . Other than that, its ubuntu
[05:23] <zeroday> Parmenion: lol
[05:23] <oldude67> what is a good program to talk to people with , with a web cam?
[05:23] <miranda82> does anyone here know, where can i find asm/io.h ? because compiler can't find it..
[05:23] <zeroday> who needs help with ati or nvidia
[05:23] <Koala007> adaptr thanks ! :)
[05:23] <KJF> Because a friend told me that ubuntu is a branch of windows 98, and I didn't much like windows 98
[05:23] <CheshireViking> oldude67, I would guess either Kopete or AMSN
[05:23] <hoffmanc> elpargo, yep, no dice
[05:23] <Parmenion> lol KJF, thats lame
[05:23] <cata> ol
[05:23] <cata> ola
[05:23] <Pelo> KJF,  you're kidding right ?
[05:23] <dimebar> KJF: Your friend is lying/stupid
[05:24] <adaptr> KJF actually, windows ME was forked off Slackware but they disavowed it as it was nowhere near geeky enough
[05:24] <Parmenion> Ubuntu and Windows 98 are worlds apart ...not to mention completely different things
[05:24] <Amarilis> i tried today ubuntu 7.04 from a livecd, but unfortunatelly i wasn't able to see anything on my screen, except blue and green stripes.
[05:24] <Parmenion> adaptr: lol ...
[05:24] <KJF> adaptr, wow, I never knew that
[05:24] <Amarilis> any idea why ?
[05:24] <etienne> hi
[05:24] <Pelo> KJF,   Microsoft does not allow for branching
[05:24] <etienne> i have a question on networkmanager
[05:24] <ExIG> am i right in thinking that the low latency kernel will work on 64bit 7.04?
[05:24] <delire> KJF: of course Vista's better! And this is the perfect channel to ask that crazy question ;)
[05:24] <Parmenion> etienne: shoot
[05:24] <adaptr> ExIG if it exists, why not ?
[05:24] <oldude67> cheshireviking: thanks
[05:24] <etienne> looks like it cannot remember my "not broadcasted" ssid
[05:24] <KJF> I asked the same question in the vista channel and they told me to come here and ask
[05:25] <forsaken> I just installed the newest Ubuntu on my laptop, and when I close the lid I get a hard freeze (I have it set merely to blank screen when the lid is closed), It's an Intel Inspiron 1300, anyone know how to fix this?
[05:25] <aoirthoir> what is a 'public' away msg?
[05:25] <Pelo> KJF,  they are probably still laughing
[05:25] <ExIG> adapti: i am new to ubuntu and had heard of the low latency kernel but want to run 64bit so i didnt know if it did exist, i assumed :)
[05:25] <Parmenion> etienne: i dont think its possible ...
[05:25] <delire> KJF: well your friends in #vista have a good sense of humour.
[05:25] <miranda82> does anyone here know, where can i find asm/io.h ? because compiler can't find it..
[05:25] <aoirthoir> forsaken, yes.. one second while I look it up
[05:25] <forsaken> aoirthoir, thanks :)
[05:25] <delire> miranda82: apt-cache search asm dev

[05:25] <invizible> I have a quick question - I just went Ubuntu and my 2 other partitions (ntfs) are readable - but NOT writeable - do I have to convert the FS or is there a way to make them writeable?

[05:26] <ubotu> For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join     #ubuntu-sa
[05:26] <CheshireViking> oldude67, I've used AMSN, but the style/fonts were awful, there's supposed to be a way of solving that, Gaim doesn't seem to have webcam capeability, my preference is kopete
[05:26] <variant> !offtopic | KJF
[05:26] <unimatrix9> where can i find the package libgamin0 ?

[05:26] <sn0> invizible install ntfs-config then run it to mount your ntfs read/write
[05:26] <delire> miranda82: sudo updatedb; locate io.h
[05:26] <KJF> ok, im off to ubuntu-offtopic
[05:26] <sn0> assuming you are using feisty, not sure about earlier
[05:26] <invizible> Thans snO - will do that now
[05:26] <adaptr> unimatrix9 search for it ?
[05:26] <aoirthoir> forsaken, click the SYSTEM MENU then PREFERENCES then POWER MANAGEMENT then in the 'When laptop lid is closed' setting choose "DO NOTHING"
[05:26] <sn0> it uses ntfs-3g, as always make sure of backups etc :)

[05:27] <milaks> Hi. Can someone please tell me why do I *always* get this error message, when I call some GUI program from console: http://rafb.net/p/IDL3aY37.html
[05:27] <forsaken> aoirthoir, so it's basically a bug in the screen blanking code?
[05:27] <delire> miranda82: linux-kernel-headers on this debian machine provides that file
[05:27] <aoirthoir> forsaken, I dunno but on edgy I had the same issue on my hp laptop. Ive not had the issue on fiesty. But when I had the issue doing that resolved it for me.
[05:27] <adaptr> milaks are you running it as the same user that runs the X session ?
[05:27] <delire> miranda82: sudo dpkg -S /usr/include/asm/io.h --> linux-kernel-headers: /usr/include/asm/io.h
[05:28] <variant> matchstick: cool
[05:28] <Baktaah> Does anyone know of a program to make ALOT of .png pictures into .svg and at the same time resize them?
[05:28] <variant> matchstick: your welcome
[05:28] <adaptr> Baktaah imagemagick
[05:28] <milaks> adaptr: yes, so?
[05:28] <Baktaah> adaptr: I got it, it doesnt worjk
[05:28] <matchstick> im sure this isnt the last youll hear of me though variant lol
[05:28] <delire> Baktaah: svg is a bit tricky, i don't know if convert (ImageMagick) will do that.
[05:28] <adaptr> Baktaah nonsense
[05:28] <variant> adaptr: we allready discoverd that it doesn't do png > svg conversions
[05:28] <Baktaah> adaptr: how do I start it then=
[05:28] <delire> adaptr: does IM convert a raster image to svg? excellent.
[05:28] <invizible> sn0 - thanks - that was waay to easy - works perfectly
[05:28] <Alarm> hello , i try to make my usb hd to be automounted when i turn it on , and unmounted when i turn it off. i did add my user in the plugdev group re-loged in . and made a pmount /dev/sda1 , and it worked without any problem. but when i turned off the the drive and then on again , i get the messege :  mount point /media/win5 is occupied
[05:28] <milaks> adaptr: is that a reason for this error message? If so, can you please tell me how can I get rid of it?
[05:29] <adaptr> variant that was not what he said - I can't stand "doesn't work" fartings
[05:29] <Alarm> how could i fix that and let my os mount it unmount when i turn it on/off
[05:29] <Lin> hi there is any know bug on ssh client from ubuntu feisty (4.3p2-8ubuntu1)?
[05:29] <aoirthoir> anyone know what a "public" away msg is?
[05:29] <hoffmanc> haha, success!
[05:29] <Alumin> aoirthoir: probably means it says it to the channels you're in
[05:29] <variant> Baktaah: there is a perl script i found on google after 2 seconds of looking here that will do what you want: http://j2k.sourceforge.net/svg/png2svg.pl.txt
[05:29] <delire> Baktaah: for i in $(ls .); do convert $i $i.png; done
[05:29] <sn0> glad it helped invizible :)
[05:29] <Alumin> aoirthoir: in general you want to avoid doing that
[05:29] <ricky> do people want thick road
[05:29] <HymnToLife> (sorry)
[05:30] <oldude67> cheshireviking: thanks i thought i was going to have to fight and install aim or yahell.....works ....
[05:30] <delire> Raioneru: yes
[05:30] <hoffmanc> I had to use 'dpkg -P', and then remove databases under /var/lib/postgresql
[05:30] <Baktaah> variant: how do I use that

[05:30] <delire> Baktaah: you're not thinking that's why
[05:30] <CheshireViking> oldude67, np
[05:30] <neme> hi
[05:30] <miranda82> delire, did not find it..
[05:30] <hoffmanc> what a pain in the ass though, wow

[05:30] <variant> Baktaah: looks like you need gd, sorry i have never used that script and youw ould be better off reading it and working it out for your self
[05:30] <oldude67> cheshireviking: one more thing can i run gaim and kepote?
[05:31] <delire> Baktaah: open up a terminal, cd to the directory those images are in, run the above command. if you don't know how to cd, you're best to study up on the Linux command line.
[05:31] <aoirthoir> Alumin, I wouldnt know how to do that then all i do is type /away sleeping or whatever and my nick turns grey..heck if I know how to make it public.
[05:31] <raphael_> is my system more vulnerable for attacks via network/internet if I have auto login?
[05:31] <oldude67> cheshireviking: well at the same time...
[05:31] <Baktaah> delire:  I know how to CD but thats about all it requires?
[05:31] <milaks> Hi. Can someone please tell me how can I get rid of this error message http://rafb.net/p/IDL3aY37.html which I *always* get, when I call some GUI program from console? Thanks.
[05:31] <CheshireViking> oldude67, i have both installed at the same time, but i've never tried using both at the same time, cewrtainly they can be used at different times
[05:31] <scales11> hello, i asked before, but i will ask again, anyone have any preference to network manager for handling wireless connections and vpn?
[05:31] <delire> Baktaah: it may be possible to use Gimp to do this though. i'm not sure.
[05:31] <variant> raphael_: not particularly
[05:32] <Baktaah> delire:  for i in $(ls .); do convert $i $i.png;
[05:32] <delire> Baktaah: yes, that should work if adaptr is right, and convert does convert to svg.
[05:32] <tomassi> .net
[05:32] <adaptr> it apparently does not
[05:32] <delire> Baktaah: should read 'for i in $(ls .); do convert $i $i.svg; done'
[05:32] <oldude67> cheshireviking: here is the problem then...gaim gives me the chatrooms where i go sometimes when people cant help me here...
[05:32] <variant> adaptr: i'm just going on somone elses say so :)
[05:32] <delire> Baktaah: ok, as adaptr just confirmed that won't work. don't try that approach.
[05:33] <Baktaah> okay
[05:33] <Alumin> are there transcripts available from the "ubuntu open week" sessions?
[05:33] <Baktaah> so everything here was useless
[05:33] <adaptr> Baktaah for i in *; <-- using $(ls .) is a kludge
[05:33] <Baktaah> thansk
[05:33] <Baktaah> I dont get what you are saying
[05:33] <variant> Baktaah: The ImageMagick convert untility provides many useful image conversion tools and will convert from SVG to PNG.
[05:33] <neme> I want to deinstall ubunto (its not bad, but nothing for me sry) but when I boot from my win xp pro and go on install xp it just shows the xp part. but not the linux part. I want to delete

[05:33] <Baktaah> variant:  I jhust sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[05:33] <Pici> Baktaah: But if your script is in that directory, it will try to convert it too..
[05:33] <variant> Baktaah: read this: http://bensqanda.blogspot.com/2005/07/convert-svg-to-png-without.html

[05:33] <Baktaah> variant: I want PNG to SVG
[05:33] <variant> Baktaah: doh!
[05:34] <CheshireViking> oldude67, i would have thought you can use both at the same time, but not with same nick, one would log the other out
[05:34] <scales11> hello, i asked before, but i will ask again, anyone have any preference to network manager for handling wireless connections and vpn?
[05:34] <delire> Baktaah: the above link will show you how to do it.
[05:34] <Esteth> what do i do to compile a program? i've used ./configure, but i try make, and i just get an error. do i have to do something else first?

[05:34] <codingmaster> Hello Ubuntu Community
[05:34] <pike_> neme: from windows first run fdisk /mbr   i think is right. then boot from livecd and run cfdisk or some other app and delete the paritions you dont want. make sure you write changes if you use cfdisk
[05:34] <delire> Esteth: it depends what the error is. what is the program first?
[05:34] <codingmaster> I am participating this year in the Summer of Code for Ubuntu
[05:34] <CheshireViking> oldude67, np
[05:34] <codingmaster> I am working on the Ubuntu Firewall Configuration
[05:35] <Baktaah> delire:  what above link
[05:35] <Esteth> delire: it's a text editor called scribes
[05:35] <SlimeyPete> Esteth: not usually. Check the README or INSTALL file that came with the program.
[05:35] <variant> Baktaah: yeah, even if it was svg 2 png i linked you to, using a small braincell or two you can work out how to do the reverse
[05:35] <codingmaster> I hope you can help me by adding suggestions for a good project name
[05:35] <delire> Baktaah: the one i gave you
[05:35] <codingmaster> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewallConfiguration/Name

[05:36] <milaks> Hi. Can someone please tell me how can I get rid of this error message http://rafb.net/p/IDL3aY37.html which I *always* get, when I call some GUI program from console? Thanks in advance.
[05:37] <adaptr> milaks what kind of console ?
[05:37] <milaks> adaptr: any. In this case it's "Konsole" KDE program.
[05:37] <variant> milaks: hmm, are you having any issues using the programs? with keyboard or mouse or something? if not then i would ignore that warning
[05:37] <LjL> variant: though, png to svg is kind of harder to do than svg to png. it means converting raster to vector, y'know...
[05:37] <delire> Esteth: compiling source code is a tricky business. you often need special files called headers that are in development packages. for this reason you have to read the README.txt if it's shipped (or INSTALL.txt), install all the dependencies and look at the output of errors (they are common) to determine what's missing.
[05:37] <delire> Baktaah: sorry! wrong link. one moment
[05:37] <variant> LjL: yeah i know
[05:37] <chenchen> hi, may i noe what gui diff tool is nice to use in ubuntu?
[05:37] <HymnToLife> milaks, delete the wacom sections from your xorg.conf
[05:37] <SlimeyPete> milaks: I get that error too. I haven't tried, but I reckon if you remove the extra input bits from /etc/X11/xorg.conf the messages should go away.
[05:37] <milaks> variant: no, everything is fine, but its anoynig
[05:37] <HymnToLife> why Ubuntu adds them at all, I wonder
[05:37] <variant> LjL: wasn't really sure imagemagik could do it
[05:38] <Baktaah> I don't even think it needs to be svg, all it requires is the extension to svg
[05:38] <milaks> HymnToLife: wacom section?

[05:38] <delire> Baktaah: LjL is probably right.
[05:38] <variant> LjL: excellent
[05:38] <delire> Baktaah: it's a vector format
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> milaks: my theory is that it's to do with all the Wacom rubbish that's in the file by default
[05:38] <Baktaah> trace it?

[05:39] <milaks> HymnToLife: Here, give me a sec...
[05:39] <variant> milaks: apparantly removing unneeded lines from xorg.conf should fix it
[05:39] <delire> Esteth: paste the error to a pastebin.
[05:39] <Esteth> delire: i read the readme, and i appear to have all of the packages required, and yet i get an error, ill try apt-get updateing them

[05:39] <Baktaah> I have been speaking for you guys for about 10 minutes
[05:39] <delire> Esteth: you probably don't have the _development_ versions of those packages installed.
[05:39] <LjL> Baktaah: it means that the tracer program will use "AI"-like techniques to find out where the edges, lines, etc of the bitmap image are, and reconstruct a vector representation that way
[05:39] <Baktaah> and it haven't even made any progress
[05:39] <delire> Esteth: also, you'll need the package build-essential installed. this contains GNU Make.
[05:39] <Baktaah> nevermind guys... you don't make any sense
[05:39] <LjL> Baktaah: what was the original problem that brought you to having to convert PNG to SVG?
[05:40] <variant> Baktaah: you don't know how to properly ask a question
[05:40] <binks_work> !webdav
[05:40] <Baktaah> LjL: using cairo-dock

[05:40] <Victor```> wow, I join with irssi and it scrolls the entire user list
[05:40] <Baktaah> variant:  or I don't need to read about 100 pages that concerns vectors and other cra*
[05:40] <Baktaah> LjL: yes
[05:40] <variant> LjL: lol, the original question was "what program converts png to svg"
[05:40] <HymnToLife> milaks, delete lines 70~101
[05:40] <EchoBinary> anyone know what it means when i start up samba server and all of a sudden my windows network brosing capability goes away? things either see each themselves only, or they say "workgroup not found"
[05:41] <Baktaah> variant:  bull**** the original question was about a program that can convert .png to .svg and resize
[05:41] <delire> Baktaah: there are two kinds of images, Raster and Vector. Vector contains the information to plot lines in a program that can read it. these lines are then turned into pixels and drawn to your screen. Raster images are actually a big array of stored pixels.
[05:41] <Esteth> delire: i'm getting an error: "/bin/sh: -o: not found" :S doesnt seem to make sense to me
[05:41] <Baktaah> delire:  yeah I don't CARE
[05:41] <variant> Baktaah: ok, calm down man. thats the first thing I saw when i started trying to help you
[05:41] <Baktaah> this is of no concern
[05:41] <LjL> Baktaah: err, well that's what he said. by the way, the asterisks don't help
[05:41] <delire> Esteth: paste the full output to a pastebin.
[05:41] <milaks> HymnToLife: Please forgive me, but I didnt understood you, should I delete only lines 70 and 101, or all lines from 70 to 101?
[05:41] <Victor```> excellent strategy
[05:41] <pike_> Esteth: youre running a script?
[05:41] <delire> !paste | Esteth

[05:41] <binks_work> can someone help me with webdav i set it up but when i make an entry into httpd.conf my apache2 wont restart
[05:41] <Baktaah> Why do you guys assume I CARE about what it means and what it is... I just want to fix ithis

[05:42] <delire> Baktaah: it might not be possible without a small program that detects edges and turns them into vectors. you'll need to use Google.com to find something i think. how would we know?
[05:42] <Victor```> what's your issue again, Baktaah ?
[05:42] <delire> Esteth: no problem.
[05:42] <Insolit> why are network definitions lost each time i restart network????
[05:42] <LjL> Baktaah: anyway, from the forums,  Ok, I think I figured it out. When you converted the .png files to .svg, Inkscape saved them not as true svg's, but as an svg with an embedded image.   -- not clear to me whether cairo-dock *works* with InkScape-converted PNGs or not, but it can convert them using that trick
[05:42] <delire> Baktaah: LjL has probably given you your best lead yet. take it and run with it.
[05:43] <Insolit> and why do i chose an IP address and he does not take that IP?!
[05:43] <Baktaah> All I require is an application that can turn lots of .png files to .svg and resize them?
[05:43] <Esteth> delire: error is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18402/
[05:43] <Baktaah> delire:  what lead?
[05:43] <Baktaah> LjL:  well I could manually take these .png files, with inkscape and turn them into .svg that worked EXCELLENT, however there are like 50 icons that that would take alot of time
[05:43] <LjL> Baktaah: SVG is a VECTOR FORMAT. it's like you were asking us how an MP3 could be converted to a Word document
[05:43] <Victor```> yeah
[05:43] <Victor```> they're two totally different formats
[05:44] <variant> Baktaah: ahh, you are swedish too. i thought all swedes were cool
[05:44] <sn0> maybe with inkspace -export-svg ?
[05:44] <Baktaah> LjL:  doesnt matter, Inkscape suceeded, there must be an application that can do it automatic
[05:44] <mariglio> ciao c'e' qualche italiano
[05:44] <mariglio> ?
[05:44] <mc44> !it | mariglio
[05:44] <ubotu> mariglio: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.
[05:45] <LjL> !enter > Insolit    (Insolit, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:45] <dac_> Baktaah, I like using my 2 brain cells.
[05:45] <neverblue> can I get directed to a general networking channel?
[05:45] <Baktaah> erUSUL: as I saw it, imagemagic doesn't resize and is very hard to use
[05:45] <erUSUL> Baktaah: convert*
[05:45] <Insolit> i set a configuration in network configuration GUI
[05:45] <Insolit> and it gets lost
[05:45] <Toma-> Insolit: are you using a realtek based card?
[05:45] <delire> Esteth: perhaps, though the actual shell script doesn't make any sense..
[05:45] <LjL> SVG doesn't have any concept of "size" that i know of. it's.. vector.
[05:46] <Victor```> yeah
[05:46] <Insolit> Toma-: no
[05:46] <Victor```> SCALABLE vector graphics
[05:46] <tlacuache> I just got an H700 bluetooth headset. I followed the directions linked to from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup, and everything worked fine at first (scan, entering in the pin number, etc.). I can connect to the headset fine using btsco, and I can try to start a call in Skype (or to play an mp3 in xmms), and I hear the speaker on my ear "turn on", but then my whole computer locks up. No keyboard or mouse response, nothing. What can I do?
[05:46] <Lbawinowns> Hello, how can I see who and what can acces certain drives?
[05:46] <Baktaah> Does anyone know of an application that will turn multiple .png pictures into .svg and resize them at the same time, and NO I am not intrested of knowing what vectors and other stuff is, -> I did manage to convert .png to .svg via inkscape, but I have ALOT of files to do, so doing it manually would take too much time
[05:46] <Toma-> Insolit: whats the problem?
[05:46] <delire> Esteth: 'file=`echo de | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ && rm -f $file &&  -o $file de.po'... you can't begin a command with a -o!
[05:46] <Esteth> delire: oh, maybe i'll try get an older version of the source and see if that gives the same error. thanks :)
[05:46] <chenchen> hi, may i noe what gui diff tool is nice to use in ubuntu?
[05:46] <chenchen> hi, may i noe what gui diff tool is nice to use in ubuntu?
[05:46] <Baktaah> if Inkscape could do it, how come others (according to you) is impossible
[05:46] <Victor```> ...
[05:46] <delire> Esteth: are you sure it's compilable? i think that makefile is broken!
[05:46] <Esteth> hmm, its as though the actual command has just gone missing :P
[05:47] <delire> Esteth: yes exactly ;)
[05:47] <Insolit> Toma-: i define a dns server but restarting network he loses that dns
[05:47] <LjL> Baktaah: did you notice sn0's comment about   inkspace -export-svg   ? i don't have inkscape myself, but that looks like it would quite work.
[05:47] <Baktaah> LjL: no I got kicked
[05:47] <concept10> Baktaah, you will probably have more luck in one of the graphics-related channels
[05:47] <Toma-> Insolit: ahh.
[05:47] <LjL> Baktaah: Inkscape doesn't convert, it just takes the PNG and embeds it into an otherwise empty SVG
[05:47] <Victor```> yes
[05:47] <Baktaah> LjL:  that WORKS just as fine :)
[05:47] <LjL> Baktaah: that comment was made before.
[05:47] <Insolit> Toma-: and i set one IP to a network card and it start the network with another...
[05:47] <Lbawinowns> where can I find info about drives acces rights, the thing when you wrote 3 numbers from 1 to 7 ?
[05:47] <Baktaah> LjL:  yeah noticed however did make much of it
[05:47] <Victor```> PNG is a bitmap format and SVG is a vector format - you can't "convert" between them
[05:48] <Toma-> Insolit: sounds bizarre. have you filed a bug report?
[05:48] <Baktaah> Victor```:  inkscape did it
[05:48] <Baktaah> let me rephrase
[05:48] <LjL> Baktaah: well, it does "convert" a png to an svg, from console only, the way you wanted, no?
[05:48] <cute_bettong> is there anyway to get the zune media player to run in ubuntu?
[05:48] <Lbawinowns> Victor```, of course you can, definetly when it comes to SVG to PNG
[05:48] <cute_bettong> it came with my dell and i would like to use it
[05:48] <Insolit> Toma-: no time for that now
[05:48] <sn0> Baktaah check up on the command, i haven't tested
[05:48] <Baktaah> LjL:  they way I want ... is doing it AUTOMATICLY with 100 different pictures in a folder
[05:48] <Baktaah> Does anyone know how to make .png to .svg (convert, change w/E) and resize at the same time
[05:48] <Insolit> where do i check a network device configurations?
[05:48] <Baktaah> doesnt matter if it converts or not
[05:49] <Baktaah> as long as it changes it into .svg
[05:49] <Baktaah> and resize
[05:49] <Victor```> ask in a graphics related channel.
[05:49] <lsproc> cute_bettong: you could try by using VirtualBox Closed Source, and connect the usb
[05:49] <Victor```> try #gimp
[05:49] <Insolit> /etc/network/interface??
[05:49] <PC> can feisty handle NTFS well now or not?
[05:49] <Victor```> or #inkscape
[05:49] <cute_bettong> lsproc, is that in the repo's is it easy to do
[05:49] <Lbawinowns> Baktaah, resizing .svg :? ,, Im not sure they really got size like that ^^
[05:49] <LjL> Baktaah: err...?!? now, assume that "inscape --export-svg" works (i don't have inkscape, i can't try). it's obvious that typing      for file in *.png ; do inkscape --export-svg $file ; done   would work.
[05:49] <Insolit> please guys where do i change manually network card configuration in UBUNTU?
[05:49] <Lbawinowns> PC , I asked that here before and all said it works fine
[05:49] <LjL> Baktaah: you know, basic shell commands. "help for".
[05:49] <pike_> PC: yes. read only by default but ntfs-3g is from what i hear very stable now and allows write
[05:50] <LoneShadow> is the feisty livecd persistent mode fixed ?
[05:50] <Toma-> Insolit: well dont expect it to get fixed then :(
[05:50] <Lbawinowns> I've had no problems doing it
[05:50] <Esteth> delire: older source is still giving me the same error. maybe i'll just try and find a binary :P
[05:50] <lsproc> cute_bettong: its not in the repo, but it comes as a DEB from virtualbox.org
[05:50] <Toma-> Insolit: /etc/network/interfaces
[05:50] <YingFan> backports website is down?
[05:50] <Victor```> Insolit: there is so much documentation
[05:50] <dac_> yetiman are you linux certified?
[05:50] <joselj> somebody having problems with vlc cracking sound in feisty?
[05:50] <cute_bettong> lsproc, thanx man ^_^ you rock
[05:50] <LjL> Baktaah: if you want to run a command on multiple files, you use for.
[05:50] <Lbawinowns> !drive acces
[05:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drive acces - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:50] <delire> Esteth: yes it might be best. it's a bit hit-and-miss with source. i can give it a go if you like.
[05:50] <Insolit> well so there's clearly a bug in this
[05:50] <PC> can the partitioner handle it? resize? grow?
[05:50] <joselj> or is just me...?
[05:50] <Baktaah> LjL: for(, , , )?
[05:50] <lsproc> cute_bettong: no prob, connecting usb should be no problem, just remember to have a copy of windows to install handy
[05:50] <Toma-> Insolit: and for the dns, /etc/resolv.conf
[05:50] <huizache> hello , I have just upgraded to feisty, and have noticed I lost mozilla-browser and mozilla-conposer... how can I intal them from ubuntu repositories ???
[05:50] <Esteth> delire: that'd be great, if you dont mind :)
[05:50] <Insolit> i know
[05:50] <Insolit> all setr
[05:50] <Insolit> but it gets another IP
[05:50] <variant> PC: yes, with the correct file system tools installed
[05:50] <Insolit> ...
[05:50] <variant> PC: for any fs
[05:50] <delire> Esteth: i've got about 10mins free.. let me try
[05:51] <Esteth> delire: http://scribes.sourceforge.net/download.html
[05:51] <Baktaah> ...
[05:51] <Baktaah> this didnt help at all
[05:51] <Baktaah> thanks alot guys.-
[05:51] <tlacuache> nobody's got any idea for my bluetooth problem?
[05:51] <variant> PC: shrink/resize/grow/move/copy
[05:51] <LjL> Baktaah: no, that's another for.   for <variable-name> in <glob-pattern>; do <command>; done
[05:51] <Baktaah> LjL:  nvm
[05:51] <Baktaah> forget it :)
[05:51] <Victor```> Baktaah: must we remind you that this is for help with the operating system
[05:51] <Victor```> and not specific applications
[05:51] <LjL> Baktaah: i will. however, this is the last time i'll accept this attitude. btw, the command works.
[05:51] <Victor```> you don't ask MS support how to use Photoshop
[05:51] <tbuss> is there anyway I can tell if java is causing firefox to crash. It seems like everytime I do something that requires java firefox crashes
[05:51] <Baktaah> LjL: doesn
[05:51] <PC> variant: i mean when installing the system, LiveCD, can it shrink or grow it safely?
[05:51] <Baktaah> matter
[05:51] <Toma-> tlacuache: sounds like a kernel panic.
[05:51] <variant> PC: yes
[05:51] <tlacuache> yeah, that's sort of what i was afraid of with the caps lock blinking
[05:52] <joselj> well i guess is just me then...
[05:52] <Victor```> gimp and inkscape both have presences here in this network
[05:52] <LjL> Baktaah: what matters is that you'll get a ban if i see this attitude again - or any other lack of respect of the CoC and guidelines. don't tell me i didn't tell you.
[05:52] <variant> PC: i normally compile the latest gparted on the live cd as that has the best stability and features
[05:52] <CharminTheMoose> Baktaah, what is the error you get when you enter the command?
[05:52] <variant> PC: but that may  not be something you want to do
[05:52] <drummer> Need some help on a printer problem with a Feisty install.  The os saw my HP 4050 and appeared to install it - but nothing prints.  Help please
[05:52] <Baktaah> CharminTheMoose: what command?
[05:52] <Victor```> you lose your patience and you act rude towards us
[05:52] <ffm> How do I configure sendmail to use my ISP's SMTP server?
[05:52] <PC> variant: thnkx cuz i'll be installing it with NTFS filesystems and i need to be sure it's safe
[05:52] <ffm> How do I configure sendmail to use my ISP's SMTP server?
[05:52] <CharminTheMoose> Baktaah: the inkscape command or whatever..
[05:52] <Baktaah> CharminTheMoose: never saw one
[05:52] <concept10> He's just being an asshole imho
[05:53] <kbrosnan> tbuss: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Testing_Java
[05:53] <tlacuache> are there any diagnostics I can to do determine why the bluetooth module would be causing a kernel panic for me?
[05:53] <LjL> (replay) Baktaah: err...?!? now, assume that "inscape --export-svg" works (i don't have inkscape, i can't try). it's obvious that typing      for file in *.png ; do inkscape --export-svg $file ; done   would work.
[05:53] <Victor```> someone tell him to go to #inkscape
[05:53] <Insolit> Toma-: now that i made network work manually networks applet sees no working connection
[05:53] <ffm> How do I configure sendmail to use my ISP's SMTP server?
[05:53] <Baktaah> Victor```:  Do I bother you?
[05:53] <ffm> How do I configure sendmail to use my ISP's SMTP server?

[05:53] <burnerx> what is a good audio server ?
[05:53] <Victor```> Yeah.
[05:54] <tbuss> kbrosnan,  you read my mind, I was just about to ask if there is a way to test java like you test php configurations
[05:54] <Toma-> burnerx: esd
[05:54] <soundray> Baktaah: not only him
[05:54] <burnerx> i want to serve mp3s and be able to stream it from another computer under the same network
[05:54] <Victor```> we try to help you and you're quick to be rude
[05:54] <Toma-> Insolit: yeh itll do that.
[05:54] <Victor```> burnerx: you could probably do that with netcat
[05:54] <Baktaah> LjL:
[05:54] <Baktaah> for file in *.png ; do inkscape --export-svg $file ; done didnt work just made empy files
[05:54] <neverblue> if i use my Linksys router as a switch (just using my LAN ports and no WAN port), how can I access it via a browser?
[05:54] <concept10> Baktaah, you bother me.  People are attempting to help you, you return bad vibes to them.  Why don't you go to the proper channel to get help on this
[05:54] <Lbawinowns> Please someone give me that manual about how to set access rights to your drives!
[05:54] <LjL> !info icecast-server > burnerx

[05:54] <Toma-> burnerx: VLC will do that
[05:54] <rycuda> burnerx, I've had a great deal of success with a combination of mpd and icecast
[05:54] <Baktaah> concept10: as far as I see it
[05:55] <Baktaah> concept10:  the only one helping me
[05:55] <Baktaah> is LjL
[05:55] <Possum> burnerx, also, look at icecast and esd
[05:55] <delire> Esteth: getting there, just installing a few dependencies.
[05:55] <Lin> !info icecast-server > Lin
[05:55] <Possum> burnerx, I had esd combined with musicpd streaming music without problem
[05:55] <LjL> Baktaah: perhaps the --export-svg syntax is slightly different, as i said i can't try, not having inkscape. try "inkscape --help | grep svg" for the exact syntax
[05:55] <Victor```> Baktaah: what you're doing isn't much different from going to, say, #openbsd and asking for help with solaris
[05:55] <drummer>  Need some help on a printer problem with a Feisty install.  The os saw my HP 4050 and appeared to install it - but nothing prints.  Help please
[05:55] <joselj> yeah but vlc has sound quality problems in feisty

[05:56] <burnerx> okay thank you
[05:56] <burnerx> i will look into it
[05:56] <Lbawinowns> Erm... No1 knows what I'm talking about? when you set acces with 3 numbers from 1 to 7 ,??
[05:56] <LjL> Baktaah: stop.
[05:56] <walkintome> hi all, if I am able to install indiswrapper, does that mean i have met all the dependancies?
[05:56] <Victor```> you're asking about batch conversion of PNGs to SVGs
[05:56] <Baktaah> okay
[05:56] <Baktaah> Victor```:  no
[05:56] <LjL> everyone: just stop.
[05:56] <Possum> delire, someone already told him to do that... hes not listening, it seems
[05:56] <strabes> Lbawinowns: you're walking about chmodding...
[05:56] <mc44> walkintome: sure
[05:56] <Esteth> delire: thanks a bunch :)
[05:56] <delire> Possum: ok
[05:56] <Baktaah> I asked about an application that would do it
[05:56] <matchstick> is there any app for seeing wireless networks like windows has?  im having trouble connecting to mine
