[05:48] <hopping> LjL: nslookup and ping is blocked by calbe operator, but i set the proxies in firefox working fine
[05:49] <dennister> lol...not having much luck troubleshooting this here
[05:49] <LjL> hopping: i see... but i'm afraid apt-get will still try to use DNS for resolving, even if it's going through a proxy
[05:49] <spiekey> :)
[05:49] <lir1> i'm on 2.6.15-27-686, can i remove packages like linux-image-2.6.15-27-386, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-386, linux-restricted-modules-386, linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 ?
[05:49] <matahari> hi
[05:49] <matahari> i have an usb-headset
[05:49] <matahari> it works fine
[05:49] <matahari> but
[05:50] <hopping> LjL : can't i update respo and install packages thru gui tool under system --> administrator menu?
[05:50] <LjL> spiekey, well, for a package like that, searching for "zaptel" can hardly fail. if it isn't there when you search at http://packages.ubuntu.com , it probably just means it isn't there
[05:50] <matahari> i always have to switch to use it when i boot my computer
[05:50] <LjL> !find zaptel
[05:50] <ubotu> Found: zaptel, zaptel-source
[05:50] <LjL> spiekey: could those above be it?
[05:50] <matahari> i just want that it is used all the time, without setting anything at bootup
[05:50] <LjL> hopping: yes, but i guess you'll have the same problem
[05:50] <matahari> is this possible? and how?
[05:51] <hopping> dang
[05:51] <hopping> :S
[05:51] <LjL> hopping: are you sure there isn't some local DNS server that you can connect to?
[05:51] <marctt> i downloaded the mplayer , and got this error while playing it: Opening /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0 DVB AUDIO DEVICE: No such file or directory
[05:51] <spiekey> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=zaptel&version=dapper&arch=i386  --> nope :) Not ztdummy in there
[05:51] <marctt> where can i have this dvb audio device?
[05:52] <marctt> anyone?
[05:52] <LjL> spiekey: then that file's not packaged.
[05:52] <justin_> How much space does a default Ubuntu install consume?
[05:53] <LjL> spiekey: look at this however - http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=zaptel-source&version=warty&arch=all&page=2&number=50 - it's there as source
[05:53] <hopping> LjL i am using home internet cable, on windows for browsing internet we need to set proxies, and for messengers we need to install ISA firewall client, obtaine DNS is auto

[06:01] <Nookie> anyone who can help me out with edgy and ati
[06:01] <bruenig> fragalot, the easiest way to do so is to put the ubuntu live cd. Have a usb thumbdrive. Mount the hard disk and then copy files over. IF it is formatted, that could be a big problem. But you could try

[06:01] <fragalot> bruenig: it's formatted.
[06:01] <fragalot> bruenig: but aren't there file recovery programs?

[06:08] <Wyvern|> hi
[06:09] <Wyvern|> I'm trying to set up my ubuntu server as a samba print server, but can't seem to figure out how to install and setup printer drivers?
[06:10] <fnf> Wyvern|: The default Ububtu installation tries to include as much driver as possible, so you should find no problem using your printer.
[06:10] <hopping> LjL how to enable sshd service?
[06:10] <dv5237_> hi im looking for a real time CLI based app that helps me 'find' wireless accespoints anyone know a package for ubuntu?
[06:10] <LjL> hopping, in Firefox you have "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network", or "Automatix proxy configuration URL"?
[06:10] <LjL> hopping: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:11] <fnf> Wyvern|: In case it doesn't, you'll need to download/compile the driver for it and load it as a module.
[06:11] <hopping> LjL no in firefoz manual proxy setting
[06:11] <LjL> dv5237_: apt-cache search find wireless
[06:11] <Wyvern|> Well, the problem is not that my driver is missing, but that I have no clue as of how to start the printer configuration in the first place. :)
[06:11] <Doow> How do I change what the default program for each filetype in the File Browser is?
[06:11] <Wyvern|> all guides seem to be for the windowed version
[06:11] <dv5237_> LjL: hehe ok :P
[06:12] <Wyvern|> *desktop version
[06:12] <fnf> Wyvern|: What'd you want to setup ? Page size, margin ? etc...
[06:12] <Wyvern|> well, as of now I have just connected the printer.
[06:13] <nilson> I just installed ubuntu-server on my server and I'm trying to install nfs through aptitude
[06:13] <nilson> It says that ubuntu-standard must be removed because of dependencies
[06:13] <Vaske_Car> How to write .img to floppy?
[06:13] <nilson> how do I fix that
[06:13] <fnf> Wyvern|: If you have any printing-aware apps handy, try to print something.
[06:14] <dv5237_> LjL: doesnt help :s

[06:15] <CoRnJuLiOx> join #hardware
[06:16] <CoRnJuLiOx> hey is there an ubuntu equivalent to the recycle bin?
[06:16] <Wyvern|> fnf: So ubuntu server should just set up and configure the printer the second it's plugged in, all by itself?
[06:16] <nilson> Why would a package want to remove ubuntu-standard?
[06:16] <LjL> hopping: you could try adding a line like Acquire::http::Proxy "http://address:port/";    to the APT configuration file... i'm not sure which file it is in Ubuntu however =) normally it would be /etc/apt/apt.conf, but Ubuntu has an /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory
[06:16] <sn9> CoRnJuLiOx: it's in the lower right corner of the screen
[06:16] <Rossdokta> Hello you all...
[06:16] <LjL> maybe you can add it to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu, but i don't really know if that's a good idea
[06:17] <LjL> !ubuntu-desktop | nilson
[06:17] <ubotu> nilson: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[06:17] <LjL> nilson: same reasoning i suppose
[06:17] <grout> which command would create an ext3 filesystem on a partition?
[06:17] <Nookie> !ati

[06:17] <LjL> grout: mkfs -t ext3
[06:17] <synic> hah.
[06:17] <grout> thanks
[06:18] <fnf> Wyvern|: It should, there may be problem I'm not aware though. If your printer is an USB or compatible device, Linux will automagically recognize, the rest is done by appropriate kernel modules.
[06:18] <Rossdokta> I am quite new to Linux, so I wanted to ask you, wich version of Ubuntu I could install on my "good old" PII with 333 Mhz and 64 Ram...
[06:18] <grout> nubuntu
[06:18] <Quinn_Storm> you'd want one of the xubuntu distros probably
[06:18] <LjL> Rossdokta: Ubuntu Server. or perhaps Xubuntu, if you're lucky.
[06:18] <sn9> Rossdokta: 64 ram is the problem
[06:18] <nilson> LjL, so you think I would be safe to let it remove ubuntu-standard then reinstall it
[06:18] <LjL> indeed
[06:18] <grout> How can you check the firmware version of the tape drive installed in a Linux system, without rebooting?
[06:19] <Wyvern|> fnf: oh. too simple for me to fathom then ;)
[06:19] <LjL> nilson: reinstalling it will result in removing the package that you're now trying to install. which package is it anyway?
[06:19] <dennister> gonna try this new udev rule...reboot
[06:19] <nilson> dude
[06:19] <Rossdokta> hehe, well, but here dhe SDRAMs are hard to ged.... coz if I would i would use'em
[06:19] <phil717171> 6.06 Desktop, I installed Samba, do I have to manually edit any files to make it work, or can it all be done from the GUI?
[06:19] <nilson> LjL I Dont know about this
[06:19] <nilson> its removing everything
[06:19] <LjL> nilson, which package?
[06:19] <fnf> Wyvern|: Usually you'll find some logged info in the kern or syslog by the time a new device is plugged in.
[06:19] <grout> How can you check the firmware version of the tape drive installed in a Linux system, without rebooting?
[06:20] <LjL> grout: that would depend on the drive i suppose
[06:20] <Rossdokta> aha... well I will try with xubuntu.,...
[06:20] <grout> LjL its a scsi
[06:20] <Rossdokta> thx to you meanwhile...
[06:20] <LjL> Rossdokta: use the alternate cd
[06:20] <dv5237_> does anyone here know a easy to know CLI based wireless scanning tool?
[06:20] <Rossdokta> ok....
[06:20] <grout> kismet
[06:20] <sn9> Rossdokta: if i couldn't get a machine above 64 ram, i likely wouldn't bother with any version of ubuntu and just install damnsmalllinux
[06:20] <nilson> LjL I'm trying to install NFS on a new install of ubuntu-server and aptitude wants to remove ubuntu-standard
[06:20] <slick_nick> is it just me or do apps in kubuntu eat up a *lot* of memory? I've got 1.25GB of RAM and i've barely ever seen it using less than 1GB
[06:20] <nilson> which contains all the base Linux system
[06:20] <nilson> I cant remove that
[06:21] <mp__> hmmm. where is the iptables config file stored in Ubuntu?
[06:21] <mp__> (when using firestarter)
[06:21] <LjL> !sdparm | grout, perhaps this. but i bet it really depends on which specific drive
[06:21] <ubotu> sdparm: Output and modify SCSI device parameters. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.98-1 (edgy), package size 94 kB, installed size 324 kB
[06:21] <evad> slick_nick: Unlike Windows Linux does not try to use up as little memory as possible - it's use of memory is not a bad thing - whats wrong with using what you have?
[06:21] <Rossdokta> btw, can I ask you, if I would have to use some bash=???? (I am only sure in MSDOS, bash seems really diffferent...
[06:21] <Rossdokta> ???
[06:21] <LjL> nilson, i asked you *which specific package* you are installing.
[06:22] <slick_nick> evad: nothing...except it's using it up just when i have lots of apps open...I haven't actually started using them yet! can't imagine hat things are going to look like when i open up OO.o or something..

[06:23] <Ayabara> hi guys. anyone know of a good mplayer quick reference? I would like to know the most common/significant improvements I can do, but the documentation is just too much for me...
[06:24] <kishan> Can any one help is it safe to install ntfs to read write on windows drive
[06:24] <LjL> nilson: do you have either knfs or nfs-server installed? type "apt-cache policy knfs" and "apt-cache policy nfs-server" to know
[06:24] <sn9> Ayabara: such is the nature of mplayer
[06:24] <sn9> !ntfs-3g | kishan
[06:24] <ubotu> kishan: ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[06:24] <LjL> kishan: to read, yes, to write, not at all
[06:25] <sn9> LjL: WRONG!
[06:25] <nilson> LjL I have neither
[06:25] <Wyvern|> Well, I'm still fighting with this printer. Where in the system are printers "located"? (eg. /dev/printer1 or something like that)?
[06:25] <Ayabara> sn9, I know. I use actually use kaffeine and vlc a lot, because I have this fear that my mplayer is badly configured  :-)
[06:25] <kishan> LjL: so u suggest better to not write on ntfs, one more question how can i read linux from windows
[06:26] <LjL> !ext3 | kishan
[06:26] <ubotu> kishan: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[06:27] <sn9> Ayabara: it's easy to badly configure vlc, too
[06:27] <Ayabara> sn9, arghh. now I can only use kaffeine ;-)
[06:28] <LjL> sn9: that was a convincing argument

[06:32] <dv_> unfortunately, you have to edit the files

[06:32] <Roger_The_Bum> that seems nice

[06:37] <dv_> do you run GL apps in beryl?
[06:37] <mydani> nvidia beta drivers without xgl/axgl
[06:37] <dv_> I tried, but the system freezes after a while
[06:37] <mydani> dv_, I do and it worked the last 36h
[06:37] <dv_> without beryl its all fine
[06:38] <fourat> Openoffice does not start on my edgy, it splash the splashscreen for some 2 seconds and then close down
[06:38] <dv_> I mean I can run beryl perfectly as long as I dont fire up complex GL apps using framebuffer objects or similar
[06:38] <Roger_The_Bum> isn't beryl alpha?
[06:38] <dv_> yeah
[06:38] <dv_> but this seems more like a nvidia bug to me
[06:38] <Roger_The_Bum> <insert nvidia binary driver tirade here>

[06:39] <dv_> since they changed substantial parts of their core, I guess this is still a bit shaky
[06:39] <finalbeta> fourat, start by running it from the commandline and see what error it gives you.
[06:39] <dv_> but hey.... for me there is no alternative since I do code a lot with pixel shaders etc.

[06:40] <lir1> If I'm on 2.6.15-27-686 can I remove packages like linux-386 linux-headers-686 linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386 ?
[06:40] <LjL> lir1: you should be able to do that without problems, yes
[06:40] <mydani> so does such a docking bar exist?
[06:41] <LjL> lir1: wait, not linux-headers-686
[06:41] <lir1> LjL: i have like a whole bunch of stuff which I think I don't need regarding my kernel..
[06:41] <LjL> lir1: i'd start by removing linux-image-2.6.15*-386
[06:42] <lir1> LjL: there's a short list here, http://pastebin.ca/256806 can you check it out?
[06:42] <lir1> LjL: as I said before I'm on linux-image-2.6.15-27-686
[06:42] <Dov3k> anyone know of the repository for Beryl on Ubuntu edgy?
[06:43] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell Dov3k about beryl | Dov3k, you have a private message from Ubotu
[06:43] <LjL> lir1, first i'd make sure "linux-686" is installed. the whole package. then remove all the linux-image packages that end with -386 -- the rest i guess will be removed automatically
[06:44] <lir1> LjL: and regarding the linux-restricted-modules?
[06:44] <LjL> lir1: think it'll be removed automatically when you remove the images
[06:44] <bunnythebunny> Hey guys, do KDE programs have compatibility issues with GNOME?
[06:44] <dv_> no
[06:44] <lir1> LjL: Ok, let's check :)
[06:44] <dv_> well,
[06:45] <dv_> obviously kde programs cannot make use of gnomevfs
[06:45] <ivoks> define compatibility issues
[06:45] <dv_> and vice versa
[06:45] <dv_> but thats the only thing I can think of right now
[06:46] <bunnythebunny> Well, for example, i got various kde based guitar software, and they don't work properly. They get in, but the terminal gives me some odd errors and..
[06:46] <lir1> LjL: ok I'm left with the 26-686/386 which I'll keep for now as backup...
[06:47] <bunnythebunny> I don't know.
[06:47] <LjL> lir1: well at least one backup is probably a good idea
[06:47] <lir1> LjL: yeap, thanks.
[06:47] <ivoks> if programs works, just ignore errors :)
[06:47] <bunnythebunny> It gets in -- but it doesn't do what its supossed to...but that may be cause i haven't got the guitar identified, or i don't know.
[06:50] <hagg1> anyone sitting on a snazzy command to show info about my memory (hardware)?
[06:50] <bunnythebunny> ivoks, do you know if i need to somehow identify my guitar in the program?

[06:51] <bunnythebunny> ivoks :( but do you know how you can identify it at least? say, like, as a device. find it as a device.  for example if you want to find your audio card you just go lspci | grep audio (something like that) ...

[06:59] <strabes> stojance: what should I do with the .so file
[07:00] <twotone> stojance: ok
[07:00] <justin_> stojance: Copy it to your mozilla libs file ;)
[07:00] <stojance> strabes: Open terminal and write sudo nautilus /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:00] <strabes> i use swiftfox
[07:00] <rogue780> anyone know of a way to get a radeon 7000 to work with ubuntu?
[07:00] <stojance> I know that!
[07:00] <strabes> so would it be in /opt/swiftfox?
[07:00] <justin_> directory I mean, but if you are are copying flash 9... oh I would wait because umm.. Flash 9 tends to make some systems unstable to the point of being windows 95 a.
[07:00] <MsClock> Is Ubuntu really the best Distro for me?
[07:01] <MsClock> It sounds cool, but I dislike the forums attatched to it.
[07:01] <stojance> strabes: I have no experience with swiftfox
[07:01] <justin_> Rememeber if your system gets buggy after when browsing Flash 9 is an EARLY beta :)
[07:01] <stojance> twotone
[07:01] <strabes> ok thanks
[07:01] <twotone> stojance: yes?
[07:01] <MsClock> They are moderated too strictly and I don't feel I can be myself there, which defeats the point of the "Ubuntu" philosophy
[07:01] <phil717171> Samba must be running and somewhat configured.  My windows box sees my ubuntu box in the workgroup.  i just cant browse the share?
[07:01] <justin_> strabes: It does not matter -- it uses the same folder to check for flash.
[07:01] <stojance> twotone: did you do that?
[07:01] <MsClock> I got banned for 3 weeks just because a mod misread something I posted,a nd it took hours to get them to reverse it.
[07:01] <twotone> it is unpacked
[07:01] <MsClock> I'm not so gone on trigger happy mods.
[07:01] <MsClock> Is there a linux distro with a more lenient community, that is easy to use also?
[07:02] <xjih78> hi everyone
[07:02] <justin_> MsClock: What do you mean a more lenient community?
[07:02] <xjih78> having some problem with iconv
[07:02] <justin_> MsClock: This is as friendly as it gets in term of Linux'es.. haha seriously..
[07:02] <stojance> twotone: open the folder and copy the .xpt and .so files
[07:02] <Aranel> Put the .so file for the Flash plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (if it doesn't exist, create it). That way, you don't have to do anything as root, so it's easier.
[07:02] <sn9> rogue780: i'll try to help you in #xorg
[07:02] <xjih78> $ iconv -f UTF-8 -t WINDOWS-1251 brum
[07:02] <xjih78> iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0
[07:02] <MsClock> justin, the ubuntu linux boards
[07:02] <MsClock> the actual forums
[07:02] <flujan> guys, please take a look at: http://pastie.caboo.se/24248
[07:02] <MsClock> I find them quite restrictive
[07:02] <flujan> i am trying to configure a router
[07:03] <flujan> I assign a vitual IP on the eth3 interface
[07:03] <mat1> hello, i cant get my p4 2.53ghz to boot after i cklick enter on 1 or 2 both get this msg  Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294 ove and over then restarts i realy want help
[07:03] <flujan> so I have ip <IP_ADDRESS> on eth3:0
[07:03] <MsClock> IF I feel like acting a little silly, that's part of my personality. It shouldn't becensored. But that's the feeling I get.
[07:03] <twotone> stojance: done
[07:03] <flujan> but I cannot ping the <IP_ADDRESS> machine
[07:03] <MsClock> Like, they won't let me say "Fack"
[07:03] <justin_> MsClock: Well I don't know you could always try to the Mepis forums I guess, but the Linux community in general.. is quite RTFM.
[07:03] <MsClock> as in Fackin' like a Master
[07:03] <MsClock> RTFM :/
[07:03] <MsClock> That sucks
[07:03] <MsClock> I hate Ms.
[07:03] <MsClock> They're so big and long
[07:03] <MsClock> not unlike a fackin' big penis
[07:04] <MsClock> heh heh heh
[07:04] <bruenig> !enter
[07:04] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[07:04] <flujan> the <IP_ADDRESS> machine cant ping <IP_ADDRESS> too
[07:04] <justin_> MsClock: Well umm, because the Ubuntu community is family based.. and yeah fack could always be misinterpreted.
[07:04] <justin_> MsClock: Anyways this conversation should be in ubuntu-offtopic.
[07:04] <MsClock> Really..? It's about Ubuntu, just the community as opposed to the actual technical side.
[07:04] <bruenig> !offtopic
[07:04] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:05] <twotone> stojance: now what?
[07:05] <stojance> twotone: now open terminal and write sudo nautilus /usr/lib/firefox/plugins  , the in the window that will show slightly after that paste the files there and close the window. Then start/restart firefox so the changes can take effect
[07:05] <MsClock> "Family" based makes it sound like only certain people should be using the distro to begin with.
[07:05] <justin_> MsClock: Well this is for Ubuntu itself, not a discussion about the community -- its about the software, and the technical side.
[07:05] <MsClock> Hmm
[07:05] <mat1> can any one help me?
[07:05] <twotone> stojance: awesome. Thank you.
[07:05] <stojance> Test it?

[07:06] <bruenig> !hi | J_P
[07:06] <ubotu> J_P: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:07] <bruenig> i386 I would think
[07:07] <stojance> Thank you very much twotone. If you have any problems just ask
[07:07] <stojance> :D
[07:07] <dfgas> how do i copy files from one drive to another and when fails to copy, it just skips it and goes on
[07:07] <mat1> exscue me i want help here!!!
[07:07] <bruenig> dfgas, what do you mean it skips it. What sort of error output does it give you
[07:07] <Jager[ZZzz] > Hi
[07:07] <marin> excuse but I have a question about aMSN 0.96 released, someone have aMSN 0.96 released ?

[07:07] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:07] <Jager-> Im having a weird problem trying to partition my hdd so that i can install linux...
[07:08] <dfgas> bruenig: its a bad harddrive
[07:08] <marin> ok, I'm French so I don't speak very good English ;)
[07:08] <Jager-> it says it passes everything else (file checking) but then fails at resizing the hdd..
[07:08] <mat1> hello, i cant get my p4 2.53ghz to boot after i cklick enter on 1 or 2 both get this msg  Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060 c0100295 00000294 ove and over then restarts

[07:08] <ubotu> marin: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[07:08] <Jager-> i have the error log it created if anyone would like to see it
[07:08] <dfgas> bruenig: trying to save some of my mp3s
[07:08] <marin> ok
[07:08] <marin> thanks
[07:08] <bruenig> corrupted hard drive, can't help you there
[07:08] <Misnix> marin, sorry, still running amsn 0.95 here
[07:08] <justin_> mat1: Check your ram.
[07:08] <Jager-> you talking to me bruenig?
[07:08] <dfgas> bruenig: i am using mc now, but it give me 2 screens, skip and delete to go to next file
[07:08] <mat1> kk
[07:08] <bruenig> Jager-, no
[07:09] <Jager-> okay
[07:09] <Jager-> would someone look at this log - http://www.originalwebconcepts.com/Whatever/gparted_details.htm
[07:09] <J_P> bruenig: ok, but pentium D is not 64 bits ?
[07:09] <mat1> do the whole test?
[07:09] <justin_> That is usually caused by faulty RAM, whereas Windows will continue most of the time until it ends up putting something in the bad RAM address, Linux will stop right away before it boots if it detects bad ram.
[07:09] <stojance> Now can someone help me. How do I replace the main hotkey command for Music Player, not to start Rhythmbox but Banshee
[07:09] <mat1> justin_: run the whole test?
[07:09] <justin_> mat1: Yes, get a RAM tester -- that is most likely a bad ram error. --
[07:10] <frogzoo> stojance: prefs -> kb shortcuts
[07:10] <LjL> justin_, mat1: there is a fine RAM tested on the Ubuntu CD (Memtest++) - it can be started by booting the CD and selecting the memory testing option
[07:10] <mat1> justin_: i'm using the memtest+86
[07:10] <stojance> frogzoo: I know, but it doesn't specify the command to be executed
[07:11] <justin_> LjL: Whatever one :)
[07:11] <justin_> Just get one
[07:11] <LjL> just mentioning
[07:11] <bruenig> J_P, don't think so. Wikipedia certainly doesn't indicate that it is. Even if it were 64 bit, it would still run the i386.
[07:11] <LjL> memtest is probably among the best ones around
[07:11] <justin_> mat1: Do the full test, it will take some time -- but it will be worth it to know if you have bad ram, it will save you time -- and frustration.
[07:11] <bruenig> J_P, oh wait, yes it does, I was on the wrong article. It is 64 bit
[07:11] <mat1> justin_: cd boots up fine buth wen i boot the enter to ubuntu or install it just wont go in
[07:12] <LjL> well, *don't* do the full test if you're using memtest, because that will probably take days ;-) just let it run for... a while
[07:12] <guiden> how long will it take untill everyone has migrated over to 64 bit processors?
[07:12] <bruenig> J_P, it should still be backwards compatible to i386. So then you can choose which you want
[07:12] <sbarn> hello could someone tell me wth ubuntu moved the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory?
[07:12] <Jager-> could saomeone help me?
[07:12] <mat1> justin_: so i might have bad ram?
[07:12] <justin_> mat1: I'd say with 90% certainty that is your problem -- bad ram, or bad slots.
[07:12] <frogzoo> stojance: configuration editor - look under metacity settings
[07:13] <mat1> justin_: kk thnx
[07:13] <stojance> How can I change Banshee as my Default Music Player not Rhythmbox
[07:13] <stojance> frogzoo: That doesn't work, Ubuntu must be broken there
[07:13] <Jager-> arg...
[07:13] <bratman> welcome
[07:14] <Jager-> coould someone help me?
[07:14] <frogzoo> stojance: did you logout/backin after changing setting?

[07:14] <bhearsum> i read a dcoument recently that described how to setup a combination of gdm/vnc/xdmcp that would let a user connect via vnc, login via gdm and launch a *new* vnc server for the desktop. the idea behind is it to make it a multi-user terminal
[07:14] <bhearsum> does anyone know where i can find this document?
[07:15] <Kvek> I need some help please
[07:15] <stojance> Kvek: Ask

[07:17] <Aranel> Let's hear it
[07:17] <GoClick> Stupid Youtube Beryl is all people wanna ear about these days...
[07:17] <frogzoo> !helpme | [eLD] Nuggy
[07:17] <ubotu> [eLD] Nuggy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:17] <[eLD] Nuggy> Installing ubuntu, it starts coping files gets to 42% then freezes
[07:17] <GoClick> Oh never mind I was reading back buffer stupid me
[07:17] <[eLD] Nuggy> then nothing =O
[07:17] <Aranel> LiveCD, or alternate installer?
[07:18] <[eLD] Nuggy> well the iso I just downloaded off their site
[07:18] <frogzoo> [eLD] Nuggy: tried disabling acpi ?
[07:18] <Kvek> I don't have th alternate installer
[07:18] <Jager-> arg :( anybody know whats causing my problem or am i just being ignored?
[07:18] <[eLD] Nuggy> no havent event checked if its on
[07:18] <frogzoo> !fixinstall
[07:18] <ubotu> For a few common problems when installing, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall also make sure you have read !install
[07:18] <[eLD] Nuggy> would that cause a problem?
[07:18] <stojance> HOW DO I make Banshee my default Music Player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:18] <stojance> ?????????
[07:18] <LjL> stojance: one question mark is enough, thanks
[07:18] <[eLD] Nuggy> ill go see if its on in my bios
[07:19] <[eLD] Nuggy> btw im a complete linux noob
[07:19] <frogzoo> stojance: go try the config editor and pls stop spamming
[07:19] <[eLD] Nuggy> never ran it before
[07:19] <Jager-> can I get any help here?
[07:19] <[eLD] Nuggy> ill go check my bios, back in a bit =)
[07:19] <stojance> frogzoo: It doesn't work!
[07:19] <frogzoo> !doesn't work
[07:19] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[07:19] <Jager-> Ive asked my question a dozen times.. never get a repsone from anyone...
[07:20] <sod75> it is a bit hectic here....
[07:20] <[eLD] Nuggy> From the installer's boot prompt, enter
[07:20] <[eLD] Nuggy> linux acpi=off
[07:20] <Chetic> Why do applications take a really really long time to start up?
[07:20] <Spee_Der> !more beer
[07:20] <mat1> man i have 1gb ram:P taking a long time but i got check it
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about more beer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <[eLD] Nuggy> wheres the installers boot prompt?
[07:20] <LjL> Jager-: run a checkdisk and a defrag on your NTFS filesystem before trying again
[07:20] <Spee_Der> o
[07:20] <LjL> !botabuse | Spee_Der
[07:20] <ubotu> Spee_Der: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots - Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops... ;-)
[07:20] <sethk> Jager-, people join and leave all the time.  for example, I don't know what you asked
[07:20] <bruenig> Chetic, perhaps you have a low end computer
[07:20] <Jager-> Okay I did chkdsk /f and now ill do defrag
[07:20] <Chetic> bruenig, It wasn't like this a few days ago. And I know I don't!
[07:20] <sethk> Jager-, but it sounds like you got an answer  :)
[07:20] <Jager-> Yes, finally, thank you :)
[07:21] <Aranel> [eLD] Nuggy: I believe you need to press F1 or something like that to get a boot prompt. I haven't used the installer in awhile.
[07:21] <sethk> Jager-, although I'm having difficulty imagining what defragging is going to do here.
[07:21] <Jager-> someone suggested it
[07:21] <IRC__> how do i launch gparted?
[07:21] <sethk> Jager-, yes, I know.  to solve what problem?
[07:21] <[eLD] Nuggy> is that the first screen booting from the cd Aranel?
[07:21] <Jager-> read this log, http://tinyurl.com/y95xvq
[07:22] <Jager-> it cant resize the hdd
[07:22] <Aranel> Yes
[07:22] <[eLD] Nuggy> ok
[07:22] <Jager-> thats the only place it fails
[07:22] <Pensacola> how to install a 386 kernel in edgy?
[07:22] <LjL> sethk, i'm not so familiar with parted and NTFS resizing. however, i've heard many times that if the NTFS FS is fragmented, parted may not be able to shrink it enough. and since he wasn't getting any answers...
[07:22] <[eLD] Nuggy> well if im back in a bit it hasnt worked. If im back after a long while its installed and ive got irc running. Thanks Aranel :)
[07:23] <bruenig> !info linux-image-386
[07:23] <Aranel> Good luck!
[07:23] <ubotu> linux-image-386: Linux kernel image on 386.. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[07:23] <IRC__> how do i launch gparted on my computer
[07:23] <Jager-> I might as well do a defrag, no harm in that
[07:23] <sethk> Jager-, you are simply trying to resize your partition too much, given the data on it.  remember that there is file system overhead, and you can't shrink it to a size that's the same as the "used" space.
[07:23] <nu> If i downloaded a dont, which dir do i put it in to use it?
[07:23] <sethk> Jager-, no, I suppose it won't hurt anything, but it won't get you very far.
[07:24] <Jager-> Its not. the used space takes up like 56gb
[07:24] <Jager-> i tried making the whole thing about 64gb
[07:24] <afief> Every time i try to burn a DVD i get an unhandled error. what should i do?
[07:24] <bruenig> IRC__, generally it is located in system>administration>gnome partition editor, or you can just type gksudo gparted to run it from the terminal
[07:24] <sethk> Jager-, the log you pointed me at says "spacee in use, 61088mb"
[07:24] <Chetic> Why do applications take a really long time to start up for me? It wasn't like this a couple of reboots (and days) ago :(
[07:24] <Jager-> gparted recommend that i resize it ever smaller
[07:24] <justin_> How much space does the default Ubuntu install consume?
[07:24] <frogzoo> afief: first check you have a large enough tmp space, then try burning slower
[07:24] <justin_> Is it 2 gigs?
[07:24] <Jager-> arg xD
[07:24] <justin_> or 4..
[07:25] <bruenig> justin_, I think they say 2 gigs minimum, might be 3 gigs now
[07:25] <Kvek> what do i need Ram wise
[07:25] <RaiderX> i need help with installing the rar package
[07:25] <frogzoo> Kvek: need 256, but more is preferable
[07:25] <Kvek> I have that
[07:25] <Jager-> where in the log do you see that sethk?
[07:25] <RaiderX> i downloaded rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz
[07:26] <sethk> Jager-, just search for "space in use"
[07:26] <justin_> Is there a tool native to Ubuntu that can list directories by size ... --- keep in mind that I use Xubuntu --- so Nautilus = no n.
[07:26] <Jager-> oh.. okay i see it
[07:26] <RaiderX> where do i put the rar folder?
[07:26] <afief> frogzoo: i got a 9.2 GB free on my root, and already burn at 2X, the error occures before any burning starts
[07:26] <Jager-> i wonder why gpart is showing me ~56gb then..
[07:26] <dfgas> how long should fsck on a 40gig take?
[07:26] <frogzoo> justin_: you might like filelight
[07:26] <justin_> RaiderX: It will create it automatically --- tar -xvf 'filename'
[07:26] <justin_> frogzoo: Filelight? can list dir contents by size?
[07:27] <Jager-> it shows me just what windows shows me.. does gpart calculate space in a differnet base or something crazy?
[07:27] <sethk> Jager-, that I don't know, I don't use it.
[07:27] <bunnythebunny> Does anyone know where i can get rpm2cpio?
[07:27] <frogzoo> justin_: sorry, thought you meant directory size - what's wrong with ls -l ?
[07:27] <eNons3nse> i'm having problems searching for wireless networks.  in the Networking config menu it doesn't show any networks in the area even though I'm positive there are a few, one in the same room even.
[07:28] <ripper> justin try du -h /path/to/directory
[07:28] <sod75> RaiderX: just try installing "unrar" from the repository
[07:28] <alecjw> how do i reset the config for my gnome panels?
[07:28] <Kvek> the reason i'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 is i'm tired of win 98
[07:28] <Jager-> Well then in that case, ill go try to resize it to like 67 gb or something
[07:28] <Celldweller> thanks alecjw
[07:28] <sethk> Jager-, try it.  it will tell you, at least, whether size is the root of the problem, or not.
[07:28] <nu> Kvek: what problem(s) are you having?
[07:28] <bunnythebunny> anyone? rpm2cpio?
[07:28] <Jager-> Oh one more thing, how can I get my wireless adapter (Netgear MA101) working with ubuntu?
[07:28] <RaiderX> justin_  ive been trying that, but for some reason, even as the root user, i get an error saying that i cant change ownership o.O
[07:28] <eNons3nse> my wireless was working fine a couple weeks ago.  it found everything automatically.  now it doesn't do that and wont give me any options for networks in the area.
[07:28] <Celldweller> worked perfectly
[07:28] <Kvek> it freezes during the installation process
[07:28] <frogzoo> bunnythebunny: why not alien ?
[07:29] <justin_> RaiderX: Really? weird, perhaps you can try a chmod u+x on the file
[07:29] <afief> frogzoo: any way i can identify the problem?
[07:29] <justin_> ripper: du -h is too cryptic
[07:29] <alecjw> please help me, this is important!
[07:29] <nu> Kvek: do you know which part?
[07:29] <bunnythebunny> frogzoo, well i want to use this klik program and it keeps asking me for rpm2cpio to download a file.
[07:29] <frogzoo> afief: strace might give more info, or try a different burning prog
[07:29] <pequatre> hello. expr 2 * 3 tells me there's a syntax error. What's the pb ? (sorry if i'm dumb)
[07:29] <nu> Kvek: usually it says what it's doing
[07:29] <sethk> RaiderX, you tried    sudo chown whatever filename?
[07:29] <bruenig> !manners
[07:29] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:29] <Kvek> yeah Configuring power managment
[07:29] <frogzoo> bunnythebunny: just a sec
[07:30] <bunnythebunny> frogzoo, alright.
[07:30] <sethk> bunnythebunny, what about rpm2cpio?
[07:30] <afief> frogzoo: already tried the nautilus built in and gnomebaker. how do i use strace?
[07:30] <LjL> pequatre: try "expr 2 \* 3"
[07:30] <bunnythebunny> sethk, i need to get in order to get klik working
[07:30] <bunnythebunny> get it in order*
[07:30] <LjL> pequatre: i guess the shell is interpreting the "*" as a wildcard
[07:30] <pequatre> LjL, right :)
[07:30] <sethk> bunnythebunny, so install it.
[07:30] <RaiderX> sethk i get "chown: missing operand after `rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz'"
[07:30] <justin_> ripper: Because instead of being able to delete and browse contents, I have to memorize all of the big folders and such.. --- and of course it's nice to know simply the "size" but without knowing all the contents I could be deleting the wrong stuff.
[07:30] <eNons3nse> are there problems with wireless network discovering in linux?
[07:30] <bunnythebunny> sethk, can't find it in the repositories and google isn't telling much either
[07:30] <sethk> RaiderX, you entered the command incorrectly.
[07:30] <pequatre> LjL, thx i didn't think of that
[07:31] <RaiderX> this si what i tried:  sudo chown rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz
[07:31] <justin_> RaiderX: :p its a Gzip -- you have to gzip it first I believe
[07:31] <sethk> RaiderX, plus you don't want to change the ownership of the tar file
[07:31] <Kvek> any ideas on what i can do ?
[07:31] <frogzoo> bunnythebunny: install pkg 'rpm'
[07:31] <sethk> justin_, tar has a built in convenience feature where you can directly untar from a gzip'd file using z
[07:31] <RaiderX> gzip it? o.o
[07:31] <sethk> RaiderX, no, that's not the problem
[07:31] <justin_> sethk: Yeah, I just realized that now
[07:31] <RaiderX> ok
[07:32] <justin_> What does "." represent in du -h ---- my home folder?
[07:32] <sod75> justin_: current folder
[07:32] <sethk> RaiderX, changing the ownership of the tar file doesn't accomplish anything
[07:32] <Terminus> justin_: the current directory. ie, the one that pwd displays.
[07:32] <bunnythebunny> frogzoo, what do you mean?
[07:32] <RaiderX> ok, well then what should i do?
[07:32] <sethk> RaiderX, particularly, it doesn't change the ownership of the files within the archive
[07:32] <justin_> Alright, du -h is not what I need.. useless ..
[07:32] <sethk> RaiderX, first, extract the files
[07:32] <Morrissey> Hi! I have a ATI Radeon 9000 with fglrx drivers. When I am not running Xgl, I get everything ok from "fglrxinfo" and "glxgears" and DRI is enabled ... but when I log into my xgl verything is very slow, I can see no effects and I get from "glxgears": "Xbfree86-DRI missing on display 1:0" :( Any ideas?
[07:32] <nu> Kvek: usually it says what it's doing
[07:32] <nu> If i downloaded a dont, which dir do i put it in to use it?
[07:32] <RaiderX> i have extracted them
[07:32] <nu> a font*
[07:33] <sethk> justin_, if you want the space used by the entire tree, use du -sh
[07:33] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell nu about fonts | nu, you have a private message from Ubotu
[07:33] <sethk> RaiderX, ok.  is this a source archive?
[07:33] <pequatre> now can anyone help me with this one: `sed -n `expr $i + 4`"p" test.txt | awk -F\" '{print$ 2}'` the problem is the nested " ` " are not parsed correctly. anyone knows how to do ?
[07:33] <Kvek> yeah it goes through the ok bit but gets stuck on the configuring power managment
[07:33] <RaiderX> no, binary
[07:33] <sethk> pequatre, you use   $(whatever) instead of `whatever`
[07:33] <bunnythebunny> frogzoo, i know how to install packages (well i don't, i use alien to turn them into debs, and then install ), but what i don't know is where to get rpm2cpio.
[07:33] <ripper> justin_ du -h will show the directory size and list it
[07:33] <sethk> pequatre, it's a good idea to _never_ use ``, and always use $(...)
[07:33] <sod75> Morrissey: have you started compiz-manager and changed your window manager to xompiz ?
[07:33] <designdream> anyone know of a site such as userscripts but for bash scripts?
[07:34] <pequatre> sethk, of course ! i knew it damnit ! thx :)
[07:34] <Morrissey> sod75, Im using beryl-manager .. not compiz
[07:34] <Morrissey> sod75, do I need compiz instead?
[07:34] <justin_> ripper: Still I have to memorize all of it, I want to browse and delete things I know I do not need -- anyways thanks guys, Im going to try Filelight.
[07:34] <sethk> pequatre, np.  `...` is brain dead c shell syntax  :)
[07:34] <mat1> justin_: wat if i boot ubuntu on my other pc that worked with my ram???\
[07:34] <sod75> Morrissey:no,  same thing
[07:34] <Morrissey> sod75, ok, then yes .. I have started beryl-manager
[07:35] <Kvek> so what can i do?
[07:35] <Morrissey> sod75, it doesnt seem to give me the proper 3d acceleration ..
[07:35] <justin_> mat1: Should if your ram is good on that PC :) if you still reach an error on another PC -- with the same error code, it could be a bad CD -- the 10% :P
[07:35] <RaiderX> sethk?
[07:36] <sethk> RaiderX, I'm confused, because I only caught the end of the discussion.  it's a binary archive?  from where?  is it a program for which no package is available?
[07:36] <mat1> justin_: its not the cd i used it on other pcs worked perfect
[07:36] <sod75> Morrissey: change your window manager vie Beryl-manager to the non gnmoe non-kde one ?
[07:36] <gubluntu> ps -e shows a process called "logger" is that legit or have i been hax0red?
[07:36] <justin_> mat1: Alright then like I said test your ram, thats most likely your problem.
[07:36] <Morrissey> sod75, Ive did that .. its still very slow and all ... (even though I changed the window manager to the kde and the beryl thingy)
[07:36] <Kvek> what can i do on my problem
[07:37] <nu> !fonts
[07:37] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[07:37] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[07:37] <mat1> justin_: yea my other haves 512 in it it works and its got 3 slots so i'm adding my to it
[07:37] <sethk> mat1, if the ram tests out good, you might try installing with IDE DMA disabled.
[07:37] <qman|A64z> hello everyone, I'm having difficluty installing ubuntu 6.10 from the CD on my dell inspiron 6000
[07:37] <RaiderX> sethk, its the rar package, the file is here:  http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.5.1.tar.gz
[07:37] <qman|A64z> I've tried both the desktop and alternate CDs
[07:37] <mat1> justin_: it wont even boot in live desktop
[07:37] <sethk> RaiderX, why not just install the rar package?
[07:37] <Kvek> HELP!
[07:37] <sod75> Morrissey: Imeant change from Kwin to the compis/beryl one, but it looks like you've tried that
[07:38] <mat1> justin_: be back
[07:38] <sethk> bunnythebunny, there is a package named rpm, it includes rpm2cpio
[07:38] <RaiderX> i cant find a rar package
[07:38] <qman|A64z> the desktop CD only boots about 1 in 20 times, and it usually locks up after a series of I/O errors on sr0, followed by squashfs errors
[07:38] <Morrissey> sod75, yes ... I think somethings wrong .. it almost looks like it loaded the MESA drivers or something ... no DRI support on DIsplay 1:=
[07:38] <alecjw> my gnome-panel keeps crashing, how do i restet the config to the defaults?
[07:38] <qman|A64z> the alternate CD always fails at "select and install packages"
[07:38] <RaiderX> ive tried apt-get install rar but i get an error
[07:38] <qman|A64z> is there any other installation method I can use?
[07:38] <dpt> Hello everyone. How can i know what kernel i have from console?
[07:38] <kitche> !rar|RaiderX
[07:38] <bunnythebunny> sethk yeah! i found that out just now! thanks anyway :)
[07:38] <ubotu> RaiderX: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[07:39] <sod75> dpt: uname -a
[07:39] <dpt> thanks
[07:39] <sethk> RaiderX, the package name is rar.  If you don't find it, you have a repository problem, or some other related problem that should be fixable
[07:39] <Kvek> Is there another way of installing Ubuntu 6.06?
[07:39] <sethk> RaiderX, what error do you get?
[07:40] <sethk> RaiderX, I assume you really meant:   sudo apt-get install rar
[07:40] <stojance> How do I create a symlink?
[07:40] <qman|A64z> is there any other installation method (besides CDs) I can use to install Edgy?
[07:40] <The> Someone help me with screen resoluton!
[07:40] <qman|A64z> stojance: ln -s
[07:40] <sod75> stojance: ln -s file link_to_file
[07:41] <kitche> qman|A64z: there is an unofficial net install cd
[07:41] <qman|A64z> both CDs fail on my machine
[07:41] <stojance> ok! thank you
[07:41] <The> How do I change my resolution to something not listed?
[07:41] <sethk> The, more specific question?
[07:41] <qman|A64z> apparently, ubuntu doesn't like my drive
[07:41] <sethk> qman|A64z, you tried the text mode install?
[07:41] <nu> The: if it's not listed, its not recognized
[07:41] <qman|A64z> yes
[07:41] <sethk> qman|A64z, which drive, the cd?
[07:41] <nu> The: you need to install your videocard driver
[07:41] <qman|A64z> fails at select and install packages
[07:41] <The> I heard there is a file I have to edit, but I don't know which one
[07:41] <sethk> qman|A64z, which drive are you talking about.  the cd?
[07:41] <qman|A64z> its a DVD-ROM in a dell inspiron 6000
[07:42] <The> How do I install my video card driver?
[07:42] <sethk> The, that's the wrong way to do it.
[07:42] <nu> The: you need to edit xorg.conf
[07:42] <sethk> The, sudo apt-get reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:42] <nu> The: what videocard you have?
[07:42] <mat1> justin_: it works fine wuith my ram
[07:42] <The> Intel.
[07:42] <RaiderX> sethk, yes when i do sudo apt-get rar, i egt this: "Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:42] <RaiderX> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:42] <RaiderX> is only available from another source
[07:42] <RaiderX> E: Package rar has no installation candidate

[07:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:42] <sethk> RaiderX, hmm.  check your repository list.
[07:42] <nu> well crap
[07:42] <The> !resolution
[07:42] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[07:43] <qman|A64z> The: You need to enter your monitor's operating frequencies in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:43] <sethk> The, use the program I gave you.  don't try to edit xorg.conf directly.
[07:43] <The> what program?
[07:43] <qman|A64z> then you can use higher resolutions
[07:43] <sethk> The, sudo apt-get reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:43] <tengo> does someone know how to mount usb drives?
[07:43] <The> ...what is that.
[07:43] <Chetic> Why do applications take a really long time to start up for me? It wasn't like this a couple of reboots (and days) ago :(
[07:43] <sethk> The, when you get to the part about monitor configuration, select the "middle" difficult level, then select the resolutions you want from among those that are available
[07:43] <qman|A64z> The: You need to find them in the manual or by searching the internet for your model
[07:44] <sethk> The, it is what you have to type to run the video configuration program.
[07:44] <The> ohh
[07:44] <sethk> The, just run it, it brings up a menu driven program.
[07:44] <RaiderX> well i cant find rar in the spm
[07:45] <mike__> hello
[07:45] <kitche> RaiderX: do you have the non-free repo enabled?
[07:45] <sethk> RaiderX, your repository list isn't right.
[07:45] <sethk> RaiderX, what kitche just said is a good place to start looking
[07:45] <The> it is asking for my password, but when I type it, nothing comes up.
[07:45] <tengo> how come when i try to change permissions for my usb hard drive, i get this: "Sorry, couldn't change the permissions of 'Smart Media Drive.'"
[07:45] <RaiderX> hm
[07:46] <sethk> tengil, it is probably formatted with a FAT file system, and FAT doesn't support permissions
[07:46] <sethk> tengil sorry
[07:46] <RaiderX> well i have no idea how to fix it
[07:46] <sethk> tengo, it is probably formatted with a FAT file system, and FAT doesn't support permissions
[07:46] <The> it is asking for my password, but when I type it, nothing comes up.
[07:46] <sanitarium> im looking for a lil help with Xgl i used http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133427 i picked compiz as it says go to screen and hangs ?
[07:46] <tengo> sethk, is there a way to change it without losing data?
[07:46] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell sanitarium about xgl | sanitarium, you have a private message from Ubotu
[07:46] <sethk> tengo
[07:46] <sethk> tengo, sure
[07:47] <sethk> tengo,  by default it is mounted so that only root can access it.
[07:47] <The> sethk, it is asking for my password, but when I type it, nothing comes up.
[07:47] <sethk> tengo, you can use options on the mount command to make the drive files look like they are owned by another user. (other than root, that is, namely, you)
[07:47] <qman|A64z> tengo: the problem is that windows doesn't normally support ext3, and linux doesn't normally support ntfs, so manufacturers use FAT because of it's compatibility
[07:47] <LjL> The: just type the password and press enter. nothing is *supposed* to come up
[07:47] <tengo> sethk, its formatted under ntfs
[07:47] <sethk> The, you get no error messages?
[07:48] <tengo> sethk, which is the windows crap formmat
[07:48] <tengo> tengo, which one should i change it to
[07:48] <sethk> tengo, yes, I know what ntfs is.
[07:48] <sethk> tengo, let me check on the options for ntfs, hold on.
[07:48] <Archy> hi, i just wanted to boot from a ubuntu cd, and got following error message: MP_BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC can someone help me plz?
[07:48] <sethk> tengo, you use    uid=###,gid=###
[07:49] <tengo> sethk i just type that?
[07:49] <sethk> tengo, for example:   sudo mount -t ntfs -o 'uid=1000,gid=1000' /dev/hda1 /mnt/whatever
[07:49] <The> E: Invalid operation reconfigure
[07:49] <sethk> The, you have to type precisely what I told you
[07:49] <RaiderX> ok, i dont know what to check for, how do i fix the repository if thats even possible? o.o
[07:49] <sethk> The, you can't insert or remove spaces
[07:49] <LjL> sethk, well, i'm not sure you typed the right thing ;)
[07:49] <sethk> The, I'll give it to you again, you should copy and paste it.   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xort
[07:49] <mat1> justin_: my ram works fine in the other pc and same cd
[07:50] <LjL> [19:43:26]  <sethk> The, sudo apt-get reconfigure xserver-xorg  <--  i guess this would be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[07:50] <sethk> LjL, oh, my fault, sorry
[07:50] <sethk> tengo, my fault, sorry
[07:50] <sethk> tengo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:50] <Archy> hi, i just wanted to boot from a ubuntu cd, and got following error message: MP_BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC can someone help me plz?
[07:50] <sethk> tengo, I should have checked, not assumed, I apologize
[07:50] <The> i got it
[07:51] <The> now what
[07:51] <mat1> justin_: i guess its my motherboard:(
[07:51] <The> what do i do now
[07:51] <sethk> tengo, sorry also, I put your name instead of The.  I'm batting -100 today.
[07:51] <made> hello all
[07:51] <sethk> The, if the reconfiguration program is running, just answer all its questions
[07:51] <qman|A64z> Arcy, you should try booting with noacpi...I don't remember the exact syntax
[07:52] <qman|A64z> I think if you press F6 during boot and add "noacpi" to the end
[07:52] <made> I'm trying to track a lost phone via gps before the battery runs out.. any ideas?
[07:52] <sethk> mat1, highly unlikely that it's the motherboard
[07:52] <Chetic> Why do applications take a really long time to start up for me? It wasn't like this a couple of reboots (and days) ago :(
[07:52] <haxality> made, you've got to be kidding me
[07:52] <The> it says "Ubuntu Configuration"
[07:52] <made> haxality: no.. sorry I'm noke kidding
[07:52] <The> at the top left
[07:53] <tengo> sethk, what do i do in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:53] <Archy> qman|A64z with the "?
[07:53] <The> it says "Ubuntu Configuration" at the top left. Then it has a list.
[07:53] <sethk> tengo,I think I aimed the wrong line at you.  you're doing ntfs mount, right?  I aim'ed the answer to "the" at you, sorry
[07:54] <The> and some text above it.
[07:54] <sethk> The, that's correct.  it should ask you whether or not it should autodetect your video hardware
[07:54] <tengo> sethk, ooohhh ok
[07:54] <The> It doesnt ask that
[07:54] <sethk> tengo, sorry for confusing everyone.
[07:54] <The> x server driver:
[07:54] <The> and a list.
[07:54] <tengo> sethk, its ok no problemo
[07:54] <The> tga, vga, vesa, etc.
[07:55] <sethk> The, that's odd.  I just ran it here.
[07:55] <The> let me check my typing. what was i supposed to type?
[07:55] <sethk> The, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:56] <sethk> The, you have graphics running, just the wrong resolution, correct?
[07:56] <Archy> qman|A64z i tried both now, still same problem
[07:56] <The> I got it. Yes
[07:56] <The> The resolution is the regular monitor type. I need 1280 x 800, widescreen.
[07:56] <sethk> The, ok.  do you mean the program is running and asked you whether to autodetect video hardware?
[07:57] <sethk> The, or are you still getting a different initial screen?
[07:57] <The> no, it does not ask to auto detect.
[07:57] <GoClick> how can I tell from CLI what the network thruput a machine is doing? ie to know if the machine's network is pinned and that's why my shell account is piss slow cause the load average is like .3
[07:57] <The> i can get a screen shot of it.

[07:58] <The> Okay, seth, i got a screenshot, let me upload it to photobucket
[07:58] <foo> Ah, there is 190 to 220 processes in uninterruptable sleep (according to vmstat).  So, it has to be apache. What could be causing this? How can I narrow it down? hmm
[07:58] <sethk> Archy, and after that?
[07:58] <Archy> it freezes
[07:58] <Archy> doesnt go on doing anything
[07:58] <The> seth, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/AniCrosserX/Screenshot-3.png
[07:59] <sethk> foo, remember that apache spawns a bunch of processes, and spawns more processes after a certain number of connections.
[07:59] <sethk> Archy, I don't think that message is the reason, because I've seen it come up on other boxes and then just continue.
[07:59] <Daviey> Hi, i can't get XDMCP to work.  Can anybody help me?
[07:59] <Archy> well
[07:59] <foo> sethk: Yup.
[07:59] <sethk> Daviey, what happens?
[07:59] <Archy> whats the reason tehn?
[08:00] <Archy> i just put a live cd in my drive an bootet from it
[08:00] <afief> Help! when trying to burn a Data DVD gnomebaker gives me this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/832199
[08:00] <The> sethk, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/AniCrosserX/Screenshot-3.png
[08:00] <ryanakca> how do I fix "[Fri Nov 24 13:07:15 2006]  [warn]  NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts"... apache2. Also, it takes about 3-4 minutes for apache to start with the command "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
[08:00] <Archy> then he unkompressed linux, booting kernel, and the line
[08:00] <Archy> then he freezes
[08:00] <Daviey> sethk, click 'login through xdmcp' screen goes black then comes up with detected hosts.  Select host, screen goes black then goes back to local login.  It works perfectly when xdmcp'ing to localhost
[08:01] <sethk> The, hmm, find the right driver and select it.  we only want the monitor configuration portion anyway.
[08:01] <foo> sethk: So, you're saying those processes in the uninterruptable sleep are apache spawning his children? Hmm
[08:01] <Archy> could it have anything to do with the fact that i wanna run it on a notebook?
[08:01] <jimmygoon> I'm building a digipicture frame to pull pix off my pc downstairs via samba and I need to be able to easily pick with photos to display... I was going to do so by making a folder in xp and having shortcuts to the photos I wanted..... BUT.... can I make my programs treat those shortcuts like symbolic links? (cifs/smbfs)
[08:01] <The> sethk, how do i find the right driver?
[08:01] <sethk> Daviey, the host is refusing the connection for some reason.  are you sure XDMCP is enabled on the target machine?
[08:02] <sethk> The, you can get it out of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:02] <The> ..ok.
[08:02] <qman|A64z> is it possible to put the ubuntu install disc on a USB flash drive and install from it?
[08:02] <sethk> The, but I'm puzzled about why the program isn't doing what it normally does.
[08:02] <Daviey> sethk, yes.  it is detected as enabled from the remote client
[08:02] <frogzoo> qman|A64z: yes it's possible - there's guides about the net
[08:02] <nacer> qman|A64z, i think its possible with the netboot install version
[08:03] <qman|A64z> I know how to put boot floppies on my USB drive
[08:03] <afief> Help! when trying to burn a Data DVD gnomebaker gives me this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/832199
[08:03] <The> sethk, where in the log?
[08:03] <qman|A64z> but nothing about boot CDs
[08:03] <sethk> The, normally on about the 20th line.
[08:03] <The> ok
[08:03] <sethk> The, look for a line with "Device" near the beginning.
[08:03] <Daviey> sethk, any idea then?
[08:04] <The> Device "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
[08:04] <Terminus> jimmygoon: unlikely. shortcuts in windows aren't really part of the filesystem.
[08:04] <The> that?
[08:04] <sethk> Daviey, I'm not clear, possibly, on exactly what you are doing.  When I use xdmcp, I use it to get the login screen from the remote machine.
[08:04] <jimmygoon> Terminus: do you know of any other way of "solving" my dilemna?
[08:04] <Archy> sethk u got any other idea that might help me?
[08:05] <sethk> Daviey, I run a local X server, and I start the local X server with an argument telling it the IP of the remove server I want to connect to, and I get the login screen from the remote server.
[08:05] <Daviey> sethk, thats exactly what i want.  But when i select a remote host, screen goes black then returns to the original local login screen
[08:05] <Terminus> jimmygoon: why not just put the pictures on a *nix system?
[08:05] <The> sethk, is this it?: Device "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
[08:05] <jimmygoon> Terminus: insecure ("noob") dad and 15 Gb :(
[08:05] <sethk> Daviey, what are you running, specifically, when you select the host?
[08:05] <sethk> The, yes, that's it
[08:06] <The> its not in here
[08:06] <Daviey> sethk, the gdm login screen... down in the right hand corner is an option.  what console command are you using?
[08:06] <The> the list.
[08:06] <afief> Help! when trying to burn a Data DVD gnomebaker gives me this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/832199
[08:06] <Terminus> jimmygoon: hmmm... can't you tell him to transfer the files through samba to the picture server and then grab it from there?
[08:06] <sethk> Daviey, X with a -something, let me check the something
[08:07] <The> sethk, so, which driver would I choose?
[08:07] <sethk> The, hold on a moment
[08:07] <jimmygoon> Terminus: I could... I'm thinking it would be easier just to pass "feh" (the image viewing program) a config file found on the PC... that has a list of the folder/pictures that he wants and then whip together a simple interface for him
[08:07] <The> mkay
[08:07] <sethk> Daviey, but it should be equivalent to what you are doing.
[08:07] <Terminus> jimmygoon: then again, windows can't create symlinks through samba anyway...
[08:07] <Daviey> sethk, so will that pop up on display:0 or a fresh one.  (ie will i need to kill :0?)
[08:07] <sethk> Daviey, it may be a red herring, let me check.
[08:08] <sethk> Daviey, _if_ you do it that way, you are starting an X server and the current one needs to be killed first.  but it should still work the way you are doing it.
[08:08] <sethk> Daviey, it might be good to do it the other way around for troubleshooting purposes, though.
[08:08] <Terminus> jimmygoon: if that's what you want, the only way i see to do it is to make the software for the frame more flexible/user friendly/whatever...
[08:09] <jimmygoon> Terminus: say I've mounted my samba share at "/media/desktop-pc" ... I can create a list of his pictures/folders and call it "/media/desktop-pc/config" and then have FEH load the images from that list.... and then I could throw something together in Visual Basic to let him make that config file or something :S
[08:09] <axisys> what is a good search tool for 10G of compressed data?
[08:09] <Daviey> sethk, what logs can i check.  I have tried it using 2 x edgy (connecting both ways) and using a dapper client to connect to the two.  All work using localhost
[08:09] <jimmygoon> Terminus: yea... its a WIP
[08:09] <sethk> Daviey, you are logging in to the remote server with a userid and password that definitely exists on the remote machine?
[08:09] <axisys> i want users to be able to access it thru web
[08:09] <RaiderX> hah i just installed winrar through wine and it worked :P thansk sethk  and every1 else who helped!
[08:10] <sethk> Daviey, working with localhost suggests that it is a permissions problem.
[08:10] <Daviey> sethk, i'm not getting that far!  It bums out when i select a host
[08:10] <Terminus> jimmygoon: i wouldn't even deal with vb. i'd just cronjob the script that creates the config file, scanning dirs periodically.
[08:10] <sethk> Daviey, oh, ok, sorry, yes, you said that.
[08:10] <alecjw> how do i reconfigure my gnome panel?
[08:10] <Hoagie> Hi. Is there any way to change user details without using the System menu? I tried preventing one user from doing administrative actions, and it seems to have affected both. How do I get my main user back to full rights?
[08:10] <foo> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33719/ - any ideas on this? Apache is causing there to be processes in uninterruptable sleep. I think I have a hardware bottleneck with disks. I have SATA on this thing... not too sure what's going on.
[08:10] <jimmygoon> ah, thats not the issue... feh will go recursive... I just want to be able to pick and choose what pictures to use without copying them... HD space is (sadly) precious
[08:11] <Terminus> jimmygoon: so all he has to do is stuff the pictures in the appropriate directory. config file gets updated 5 minutes later or something...
[08:11] <sethk> foo, one moment, I'll look but let me answer another question first.
[08:11] <The> sethk, so, which driver would I choose?
[08:11] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: You probally need to boot with the install disk, mount the partition and change the files back
[08:11] <Terminus> jimmygoon: well, you can try to google and find out if there's an article somewhere on how to read .lnk files.
[08:11] <Nookie^> !postgressql

[08:12] <Ernz> Hi everyone am trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on an older computer with 750Mhz Athlon, 650MB RAM, 64MB NVidia Grphx card. Should this work??
[08:12] <foo> sethk: Sure :) Thanks
[08:12] <Terminus> Ernz: it should.
[08:12] <jimmygoon> Terminus: will do.. then I could just have something that scans the folder (cron) and strips out whatever and replace "C:\Shared\Picutres" with "/media/desktop-pc/" or whatnot.......
[08:13] <Terminus> jimmygoon: yeah... that kind of stuff...
[08:13] <Terminus> jimmygoon: don't you just love windows?! =P
[08:13] <anton_> hi everybody :)
[08:13] <Ernz> Terminus: I am getting to the "This is Ubuntu Live CD." "For the default live system, press ENTER." - But the cursor isn't flashing and nothing happens when I hit ENTER of F1, whats the deal?
[08:13] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Err. You mean the live CD? I'm a total newbie, so I'm not exactly sure how to do that
[08:14] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Yeh the live cd
[08:14] <anton_> doesn't sound good, ernz
[08:14] <jimmygoon> Terminus: :( such a seemingly simple thing...
[08:14] <Ernz> anton_ Suggestions?
[08:14] <Kingsqueak> http://www.kingsqueak.org/stuff/AFGUIDEDMISSILE.wav
[08:14] <anton_> have you tried another live cd? maybe you have some strange hardware
[08:14] <Terminus> Ernz: hmmm... i've never encountered that problem. then again, i never use the livecd.
[08:14] <anton_> maybe try something like dsl to begin with. see if it boots
[08:15] <Ernz> Anton_ I sure do! Some of this stuff is archaic. I will try the install CD.
[08:15] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Alright, I'll give it a go. Cheers
[08:15] <sethk> The, take a look at this url:  http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/
[08:15] <The> ok.
[08:15] <darko3d> how can i backup the programs i installed via add/remove, so i don't have to reinstall them every time i format?
[08:15] <sethk> The, it's relevant to the non-standard (wide screen) resolution that you need
[08:15] <anton_> if you don't mind running the risk of hosing your hard drive, ernz :)
[08:15] <sethk> The, and incidentally should also tell you what driver you need.
[08:15] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: How do I mount the partition, by the way?
[08:16] <RaiderX> hey is there anything like check disk in ubuntu?
[08:16] <Zaggynl> Are the Ubuntu devs aware of the slow burning problem?
[08:16] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: mount /dev/yourpartition /mnt
[08:16] <anton_> once you've installed them darko, that could be difficult (or take a long time). if i remember correctly, there's a how-to somewhere detailing how to turn your computer into an update repository
[08:16] <RaiderX> hey is there anything like check disk in ubuntu?
[08:16] <Terminus> RaiderX: fsck
[08:16] <RaiderX> thx
[08:16] <Ernz> anton_: Ideally I would boot into ubuntu 1st because I need to write a CD of stuff currently on the 20GB HDD.
[08:16] <Terminus> RaiderX: use it carefully. =)
[08:16] <sethk> foo, that doesn't look abnormal to me
[08:17] <kitche> Zaggynl: what are you burning since usually the burning has to deal with how fast your drive can burn data
[08:17] <foo> sethk: CPU Usage: u379.12 s1209.51 cu0 cs0 - 2.04% CPU load
[08:17] <RaiderX> wut woudl be the syntax to check a removable drive?
[08:17] <anton_> ernz: well if it won't boot you're going to have to use plan b :)
[08:17] <sethk> foo, apache always has processes in that mode, that wake up periodically to check for a new connection
[08:17] <Elohimus> I'm having an issue with resolving hostnames to IPs. It takes about 4 seconds to resolve any host. Anything I can do?
[08:17] <darko3d> anton_:do you have any links, until now i only installed xchat
[08:17] <Terminus> RaiderX: normally, you should never need to run it manually. it should automatically run when you boot after an improper shutdown and stuff.
[08:17] <sethk> foo, use ps, you can't really paste the output of top (I think it's top that I'm seeing)
[08:17] <Ernz> anton_ plan B? :S
[08:17] <Zaggynl> kitche, DVDs and CDRs both burn no faster then 3x with every burning app I tried on a 16x DVD Benq burner
[08:17] <foo> sethk: yup, but the processes in interruptable sleep. Oh, yeah, that is top
[08:17] <anton_> darko: i'd have to dig something out... gimme a second
[08:17] <Zaggynl> this thread shows I'm not the only one: v
[08:17] <sethk> RaiderX, I think you mean umount
[08:17] <Zaggynl> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128721&page=7&highlight=burning+slow
[08:17] <Terminus> RaiderX: depends on the filesystem. fsck won't work if the drive is ntfs
[08:17] <kitche> Zaggynl: and have you choosen 16x as the speed? it might be set at 3x
[08:18] <Zaggynl> kitche, I did choose 16x
[08:18] <sethk> foo, uninterruptable means _externally_ uninterruptable
[08:18] <whta> Hey, can anyone help me to get these ATI drivers installed right? I downloaded the .run file but it's giving me stuff about character codes not being able to be read
[08:18] <sethk> foo, doesn't mean that the process is dead.
[08:18] <anton_> ernz: i dunno :) maybe use a different distribution to boot, or build the hard drive into another computer
[08:18] <RaiderX> Terminus , i need to check an external drive because i deleted a 450mb file through nautilus and it didnt free any space although the file is gone
[08:18] <Ernz> anton_ I think it may be an Ubuntu issue :( I am trying a "Mandriva" liveCD that I just HAPPEN to have and it seems to be booting A-OK.
[08:18] <Terminus> RaiderX: and the drive is ext3?
[08:18] <RaiderX> no
[08:18] <RaiderX> its a memory stick, so fsck wont work?
[08:19] <sethk> Ernz, I'm sure it is a ubuntu issue; that doesn't mean there isn't a workaround.  (nor that it is)
[08:19] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: It says only root can do that..
[08:19] <anton_> cool, ernz :) vive la france!
[08:19] <sethk> RaiderX, the fact that it's a memory stick makes no difference.  what matter is the type of file system
[08:19] <Terminus> RaiderX: well, fsck can do vfat. never used it myself though.
[08:19] <whta> Hey, can anyone help me to get these ATI drivers installed right? I downloaded the .run file but it's giving me stuff about character codes not being able to be read
[08:19] <sethk> Hoagie, only root _can_ do that.  use sudo
[08:19] <RaiderX> yea, i know, i implied that i woudltn format a memory stick in ext3 =p
[08:19] <Ernz> antonanton_:  Maybe I should give Edgy a shot? I think I read that is supposed to have better legacy support?
[08:19] <kitche> whta: why don't you install the ati package?
[08:19] <darko3d>  the Ubuntu software channel that includes 'Terminal Program - Super User Mode' is not enabled.<---how do i enable that
[08:20] <livingtm> where can i get help with udev?
[08:20] <whta> kitche: is that in synaptic? >_>
[08:20] <Terminus> RaiderX: just make sure and use the appropriate fsck. =)
[08:20] <sethk> RaiderX, I format memory sticks with ext3 frequently.  there is no reason not to
[08:20] <kitche> !ati|whta
[08:20] <ubotu> whta: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:20] <anton_> ernz: i'm using edgy myself atm, and it runs okay (not perfect, but okay). but then i never had any problems with drake either
[08:20] <RaiderX> hm
[08:20] <sethk> RaiderX, the only time I use fat is if the stick has to be read by windows
[08:20] <Ernz> anton_ are you using an older machine?
[08:20] <sethk> RaiderX, ext2 is good enough, though.
[08:20] <The> sethk, its really confusing.
[08:20] <strabes> ext2/ext3 can be read/written to by windows
[08:21] <strabes> www.fs-driver.org
[08:21] <anton_> ernz: unfortunately not :( but i have a pentium II from 1997 at home under edgy, and it runs okay :)
[08:21] <phas> hi, i'm trying to make bindings of libid3
[08:21] <RaiderX> well, its a PSP memory stick, the reaosn not to is because the PSP wont uinderstand ext3,  think its fat32
[08:21] <phas> with c2hs
[08:21] <phas> but when i try to comile my lib i get
[08:21] <sethk> strabes, good point.  it doesn't help, though, if you use a memory card formatted by some device (such as a camera)
[08:21] <phas> c2hs: Error in C header file.
[08:21] <phas> /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:69: (column 6) [FATAL]
[08:21] <phas>   >>> Syntax error!
[08:21] <phas>   The symbol `;' does not fit here.
[08:21] <Ernz> anton_ As luck has it, I have a PIII kicking around somewhere ;)
[08:21] <Terminus> RaiderX: well, if you're sure it's fat32, go ahead and use fsck.vfat. just don't blame us if it breaks. =P
[08:21] <yolope> hey i have a problem with ubuntu. when i start up now i get "/usr/sbin/pam_getenv: line 3: =head1: command not found" repeating over and over again and i cant get past it. i've logged in recovery mode and startx... has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
[08:21] <phas> i seriusly doubt that this library is broken
[08:22] <RaiderX> lol
[08:22] <sethk> RaiderX, I don't know what PSP is, but you are probably correct.
[08:22] <RaiderX> ill chekc to make sure
[08:22] <RaiderX> playstation portable
[08:22] <RaiderX> =p
[08:22] <darko3d>  i'm downloading a software, but i'm getting this:the Ubuntu software channel that includes 'Terminal Program - Super User Mode' is not enabled.<---how do i enable that
[08:22] <sethk> yolope, that's a syntax error; your script wat barfed.  how did you do that?
[08:22] <yolope> if i run pam_getenv from shell now i get the same error
[08:22] <Terminus> RaiderX: fsck.vfat --help to see the options
[08:22] <RaiderX> ok
[08:22] <Ernz> Anyone know what the resident file explorer is in Mandriva???
[08:22] <yolope> dunno, i didnt do anything, i installed some software the correct way
[08:22] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Alright, I mounted it. No error message, so I assume it worked. How do I change user settings?
[08:23] <Terminus> RaiderX: or man fsck.vfat
[08:23] <anton_> ernz: konqueror
[08:23] <cwillu> !cifs
[08:23] <yolope> is it possible to fix it? what would be the best way?
[08:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:23] <finalbeta> !paste
[08:23] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:23] <sethk> yolope, sorry, I didn't read carefully
[08:23] <cwillu> anybody know where mount.cifs went in edgy?
[08:23] <sethk> yolope, is perl installed on your machine?
[08:23] <Ernz> anton_ So it is...
[08:23] <yolope> yeah, i installed perl yesterday
[08:23] <yolope> sorry
[08:23] <Terminus> !info smbfs edgy
[08:23] <ubotu> smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 375 kB, installed size 900 kB
[08:23] <yolope> i installed imagemagick for perl
[08:24] <anton_> ernz: it's a kde installation. konqueror is pretty impressive software :)
[08:24] <mabus> Does ubuntu have a client that can make remote desktop connections to windows?
[08:24] <Terminus> cwillu: should be still in smbfs
[08:24] <sethk> yolope, make sure  /usr/bin/perl   exists
[08:24] <anton_> mabus: vpnclient
[08:24] <cwillu> ahh neat, thanks
[08:24] <Terminus> cwillu: don't take my word for it. i don't run edgy. =P
[08:24] <anton_> mabus: sorry, vncclient
[08:24] <yolope> ahh
[08:24] <sethk> mabus, linux has a windows terminal server client
[08:24] <Terminus> mabus: yes, it does.
[08:24] <yolope> root@earthtone:~# /usr/bin/perl
[08:24] <yolope> /usr/bin/perl: line 1: nice:: command not found
[08:24] <sethk> mabus, then there is also vns, but vnc is a dog.
[08:24] <cwillu> Terminus: no problem;  smbfs just isn't installed by default anymore :)
[08:24] <darko3d> how do i enable univers and multiuniverse?
[08:24] <yolope> yes i have some problems here :/
[08:24] <sethk> mabus, and has to be running at both ends.
[08:24] <Terminus> mabus: go to Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client
[08:24] <Ernz> anton_ Whats the command to mount NTFS hda1?
[08:24] <jimmygoon> How does smbfs compares to CIFS?
[08:24] <cwillu> brief wtf moment copying and pasting in fstab from a different working config :)
[08:25] <sethk> yolope, ok, now you are on track to fix it.
[08:25] <mabus> Terminus: and that's already installed?
[08:25] <jimmygoon> !info cifs edgy
[08:25] <ubotu> Package cifs does not exist in edgy
[08:25] <yolope> hehe i hope, thanks for the pointer
[08:25] <mabus> sethk: vncclient doesn't actually use the RDP though does it?
[08:25] <Terminus> mabus: it should be by default. it's compatible with the RDP windows uses. so you can just setup windows to allow remote connections and you should be able to login.
[08:25] <mabus> Isn't it sort of it's own thing?
[08:25] <cwillu> jimmygoon: cifs is smb, only different
[08:25] <mabus> Terminus: awesome
[08:25] <sethk> mabus, no, it doesn't
[08:25] <anton_> ernz: i imagine mandriva will mount it with a simple mount command
[08:26] <cwillu> a few different options, which I happen to need
[08:26] <sethk> back in a few minutes
[08:26] <Hoagie> How do I change user privilages from the Live CD? Anyone?
[08:26] <sethk> mabus, yes, vnc is separate, and has a windows side and a linux side and you have to run both.
[08:26] <RaiderX> fsck works for fat16?
[08:26] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: There in the file /etc/passwd
[08:26] <sethk> mabus, you also, as I said, have a windows terminal server client
[08:26] <Terminus> mabus: oh, and that client can also connect to vnc. =)
[08:26] <anton_> ernz: if it doesn't, you're in trouble... (missing ntfs libraries)
[08:26] <Ernz> anton_ Only KB working at the mo everything is being done from terminal
[08:26] <sethk> mabus, that's awful syntax, a client for windows terminal server.  :)
[08:26] <The> sethk, its really confusing.
[08:26] <sethk> The, I know.
[08:26] <jimmygoon> cwillu: I was just working on fstab and cifs/smbfs ... and for whatever reason it wouldn't work with fstab unless I used cifs :S
[08:26] <mabus> Terminus: So if I run Terminal Services from ubuntu I can get the graphical output from the serving windows bx?
[08:26] <mabus> s/bx/box/
[08:26] <The> so.. how do i do this.
[08:27] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: And /etc/group, you can add users to the administrator group in there
[08:27] <anton_> ernz: something like mount /dev/hda1 <mountpoint> should work for root :)
[08:27] <sethk> The, I have to go for a bit, but I'll be back.  perhaps someone else can help.  I'm not doing too well with you anyway, unfortunately.
[08:27] <julio1> i need a spanish room
[08:27] <Terminus> mabus: yep. i used to do it a lot.
[08:27] <The> ok.
[08:27] <Terminus> mabus: i don't think audio gets forwarded though.
[08:27] <The> ...so.. can anyone hep me
[08:27] <yolope> cheers sethk, getting there, lots of nice errors :)
[08:28] <anton_> mabus: audio doesn't get forwarded, trust me, i use vnc at work :(
[08:28] <salah> hello. just installed mysql5.0 on a ubuntu-server (dapper 6.10). how do I log in for the first time
[08:28] <mabus> anton_: I'm hoping to use terminal services, not vnc
[08:28] <Ernz> anton_ lol - Drive is empty.
[08:28] <anton_> salah: tricky. have you got a user?
[08:28] <mabus> But when I use RD from windows to windows, I leave sound at the target box anyway
[08:28] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: How do I get into my HD after mounting it? :x
[08:28] <salah> anton_, no, how do I do that?
[08:28] <anton_> mabus: sorry :) i haven't been paying attention :)
[08:28] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: It should show up as the /mnt directory
[08:29] <anton_> salah: there's some good documentation for mysql on the webpage. it can explain it a lot better than me
[08:29] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Aha!
[08:29] <whta> OK, question about this ATI driver.. suposedly it comes with ubuntu, right? but my screen seems sluggish and glxinfo | grep vendor says:  "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
[08:29] <anton_> ernz: what does cat /proc/partitions say?
[08:29] <H3g3m0n> So you probally want to edit /mnt/etc/group find the admin line and add your username after it depending on how you disabled the admin access
[08:30] <Ernz> anton_ Dunno, I just rebooted. I am going to load fail safes on the Mobo and try again. I ahve suspicions that that may be it.
[08:30] <palomer> what's a good program to partition my harddisk?

[08:30] <zainka> Hi, How can I add an Canon PIXMA MP800 when Canon dont support Linux. Is there generic printer drivesr which will work towards Cnon UBS mounted printers?????
[08:30] <anton_> ernz: mobo? isn't that something from austin powers?
[08:30] <Jager[ZZzz] > sethk here
[08:30] <Jager[ZZzz] > ?
[08:30] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> Hey, I got a prob with detecting my Hard Disk. I have partitioned it in GParted. Cannot find the directory if the drive I have checked media folder though
[08:30] <anton_> zainka: just try a few drivers out. maybe one will work
[08:30] <Ernz> anton_ Nearly, yes.
[08:30] <Terminus> zainka: try going to linuxprinting.org and check.
[08:31] <ryanakca> how do I fix "[Fri Nov 24 13:07:15 2006]  [warn]  NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts"... apache2. Also, it takes about 3-4 minutes for apache to start with the command "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
[08:31] <whta> OK, question about this ATI driver.. suposedly it comes with ubuntu, right? but my screen seems sluggish and glxinfo | grep vendor says:  "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
[08:31] <zainka> Thanks
[08:31] <Terminus> !printer | zainka
[08:31] <ubotu> zainka: 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
[08:31] <anton_> chris_swift_kubu: what does cat /proc/partitions say?
[08:31] <yolope> i think my packages are screwed :( bah, i think fixing this might be bodging it
[08:31] <paitart> hi! i just updated from 6.06 to 6.10 -- i don't notice any changes in the desktop's look. why is that?
[08:31] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> !hardware
[08:31] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[08:31] <H3g3m0n> Cannon do have some linux drivers around afaik although mt ip1300 didn't when i got it (and it broke like a few weeks later)
[08:31] <H3g3m0n> but they did release some for it
[08:32] <anton_> ubuto: is all printing done with cups, or just network printing?
[08:32] <Jager-> sethk : I tried resizing it to 77 gb... and it still says it cant resize
[08:32] <darko3d> i ran this in the terminal, wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/quinn.key.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add - and i'm getting Connecting to ubuntu.beryl-project.org|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80... connected.
[08:32] <darko3d> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 19:30:37 ERROR 404: Not Found.  gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[08:32] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Neither password nor group are in there :S
[08:32] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> anton: What? If your on bout compatabitility I have an idencticle drive that is detected
[08:32] <darko3d> what should i do?
[08:32] <anton_> darko: sounds like you need a pgp key to get in.
[08:32] <Terminus> anton_: ubotu is a bot, and yes, all printing is done through cups. when you use the wizard, it adds the printer in cups.
[08:32] <whta> OK, question about this ATI driver.. suposedly it comes with ubuntu, right? but my screen seems sluggish and glxinfo | grep vendor says:  "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
[08:32] <nub_> i'm trying to install the newer nvidia glx drivers from the nvidia site, and it's hanging on looking for a kernel module. what do i do to fix that?
[08:32] <yolope> thanks
[08:33] <anton_> terminus: thanks :) you learn something new everyday :)
[08:33] <darko3d> anton_: i'm trying to install beryl, and i followed the steps
[08:33] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: The files themselfs? or the admin group isn't in there?
[08:33] <anton_> chris_swift: just wondering if it's recognised by the system
[08:33] <darko3d> on here http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX#How-to_install_Beryl_with_AIGLX_on_Dapper
[08:34] <mordof> alright, so i'm on the aspire 5610 notebook, i can't find the page for the compatibility list anymore... anyone know off hand weither dual core AND wireless work on this thing yet?
[08:34] <Terminus> anton_: cups is sweet. i even have windows connecting to it directly. no more messy samba configs. =)
[08:34] <Jager-> Anyone know for sure if a badly fragmented hdd will cause problems when trying to resize it and create a partition?
[08:34] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: The files themselves
[08:34] <dcordes> are there any known issues with ddclient and dyndns.org?
[08:34] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> anton_: It is partitioned ext3 by GParted on this system
[08:34] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: There's no /etc/group and password
[08:34] <anton_> terminus: oh god, i once had to share a printer using samba, it was a nightmare :(
[08:34] <anton_> so where's the problem, chris? :)
[08:34] <nub_> ok, the nvidia installer script is saying that the connection to the nvidia site has timed out, yet i can connect just fine. anybody know what's up?
[08:35] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> I cant access it or find it in my folders
[08:35] <anton_> jager: it'll just take a long time to do
[08:35] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Are you sure your looking at the files on your hdd in /mnt/etc and not the livecd's /etc ?
[08:35] <whta> OK, question about this ATI driver.. suposedly it comes with ubuntu, right? but my screen seems sluggish and glxinfo | grep vendor says:  "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b"
[08:35] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Also its passwd not password
[08:35] <mordof> nub_, possibly installer script is using an old location to the files... make sure you're using the most up to date drivers...?
[08:35] <Terminus> anton_: just use ipp if all your winboxen are win2k+. winme and below require samba though.
[08:35] <nub_> i just downloaded it today, mordof
[08:35] <coyotex> quick question , how can i add a program in boot time ?
[08:35] <anton_> terminus: the problems are now behind me :) i only use linux and solaris now :)
[08:35] <mordof> k then i have no idea, hehe.. i'm not actually on ubuntu but am trying to get info to see if it will work on my laptop
[08:36] <Terminus> coyotex: update-rc.d if it has an init script, add it to rc.local if it doesn't.
[08:36] <anton_> coyotex: init.d :)
[08:36] <sprizz> question: how can i remove the freeglut3 package without removing x?
[08:36] <Spec> anton_ why solaris?
[08:36] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> anton_: Sorry bout repeat but you may not of noticed I cant access the drive or see any folders for the drive
[08:36] <Quantur> hi folks
[08:36] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> hi
[08:36] <anton_> spec: curiosity. to be honest, gentoo works better on the sun computers i've got...
[08:36] <whta> umm, i have a problem. sound doesn't work in anything but flash
[08:36] <anton_> chris: is the drive mounted?
[08:36] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: I think so. I mounted the drive, and I'm looking in the mnt folder in filesystem
[08:36] <nub_> ok, how can i change my dns servers in the command line?
[08:37] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> anton_: was just going to ask how  to mount
[08:37] <darko3d> any help??
[08:37] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: is the drive ntfs?
[08:37] <Spec> anton_: heh, i installed gentoo on the sun server we got... :p
[08:37] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> Anton_: nope ext3
[08:37] <anton_> chris: a-ha! first one checks to see if the drive is recognised as hardware by the system :) (cat /proc/partitions)
[08:37] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: if it's ntfs, mount it using mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev/hda /mnt/point
[08:37] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: hmm its possible its hiding them somehow, maby try a looking at them in a terminal as sudo root. If those files arn't on you hdd then you shouldn't even beable to login
[08:38] <anton_> spec: and don't you just feel superior once you've done that :) i had to recompile the kernel 5 times before it booted
[08:38] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: oh... ext3. where'd you mount it?
[08:38] <sprizz> anyone know how to remove the freeglut3 package without removing x?
[08:38] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> I havent yet, asking how to
[08:38] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: permission problem? if so chmod it.
[08:38] <Spec> anton_: it was easy; our sun server has an x86 chipset
[08:38] <Spec> it's not even sparc
[08:38] <anton_> spec: oh :( and i'm struggling with an ultrasparc workstation :(
[08:38] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, what does that means?
[08:38] <whta> Sound works only in flash videos. Tried loading an mp3 into xmms and got nothing. any ideas?
[08:38] <Jager-> Anyone know for sure if a badly fragmented hdd will cause problems when trying to resize it and create a partition?
[08:39] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: mount /dev/hda /mnt/point where hda is the drive device node and /mnt/point is where you want it to go.
[08:39] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> I know it's SDB from GParted
[08:39] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: hda1 or whatever i mean. the letter is the drive and the number is the partition
[08:39] <Terminus> !mount | Chris_Swift_Kubu
[08:39] <ubotu> Chris_Swift_Kubu: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[08:39] <anton_> darko: to limit access to the repository you need a key. getting it shouldn't be a problem, however.
[08:40] <whta> Sound works only in flash videos. Tried loading an mp3 into xmms and got nothing. any ideas?
[08:40] <darko3d> how do i get it?
[08:40] <sorush20> hi I'm being asked for my cups password, what is this password and where is ti?
[08:40] <anton_> darko: that should be mentioned in the documentation, i'd have thought. i'm afraid i can't help
[08:40] <kitche> whta: for mp3 playback you need the mp3 library
[08:40] <paitart> hi! i just updated from 6.06 to 6.10 -- i don't notice any changes in the desktop's look. why is that?
[08:40] <Terminus> Chris_Swift_Kubu: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb should list all the partitions on that drive and the appropriate device nodes.
[08:41] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> It's a single partition

[08:41] <anton_> sorush: oh cups password. i think you need to configure a superuser for cups. there is a command to do that. don't ask me what it is. try apropos cups and see what gets spat out
[08:41] <Jager-> Im planning on moving all my non-game apps over to linux once i get it installed, and just use windows for games. so after i uninstall all the apps i can use on linux (or open source equivalents) will i be able to reduce the size of the windows partition and give it to linux?
[08:42] <Jager-> and vice-verse (in case i need more room on the windows partition)
[08:42] <Terminus> anton_ and sorush: you have to add the cups user to the shadow group first. it can't read the password otherwise. then you just use your username and password if your user is in the lpadmin group. (it is by default)
[08:42] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: Yes, you can use gparted on the live cd to resize them
[08:42] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: How do I look in sudo root?
[08:43] <Jager-> Well currently i cannot
[08:43] <Jager-> but thats what im trying to figure out
[08:43] <PupenoR> H3g3m0n: can parted resize NTFS ?
[08:43] <anton_> oh cool, thanks terminus :) i've spent my whole life configuring a user to do it...
[08:43] <Jager-> gpart on the live disk gives me an error when i try to shrink the windows partition
[08:43] <nub_> isn't writing to ntfs from linux kind of dangerous to the ntfs data?
[08:43] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Open up a terminal, 'sudo -i', 'file /mnt/etc/groups'
[08:43] <Jager-> soi im going to try to create a partition for linux while im on windows
[08:43] <Terminus> anton_: lol. /etc/shadow is unreadable to anything that's not root or in the shadow group. =)
[08:43] <PupenoR> Jager-: I wouldn't expect (g)parted to be able to resize or modify NTFS partitions in any way.
[08:44] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Thats group not groups sorry
[08:44] <anton_> terminus: it doesn' even make that much sense, if you're root...
[08:44] <whta> Sound works only in flash videos. Tried loading an mp3 into xmms and got nothing. any ideas?
[08:44] <mat1> justin_: u here?
[08:44] <Terminus> anton_: but the cupsys daemon doesn't run as root. more secure that way. hence the need to add it to the shadow group.
[08:44] <Jager-> PupenoR: oh? So then how am I supposed to install linux?...
[08:44] <anton_> terminus: makes sense :) thanks for the tip :)
[08:44] <Terminus> anton_: and it's not in the shadow group by default because of paranoia. ;)
[08:44] <kitche> !mp3>whta
[08:45] <kitche> whta you should of gotten a pm from ubotu
[08:45] <darko3d> Anybody here knows how to get an OpenGPG key for installing beryl?
[08:45] <CharonX> Anyone know of a way to view the httpd.conf file of a running apache service ? (If the httpd.conf files has been deleted)
[08:45] <Chris_Swift_Kubu> thanks guys i have now mounted
[08:45] <Terminus> anton_: np. also, the fact that cupsys doesn't run as root is because of security again. =)
[08:45] <anton_> this shadow stuff can be trouble. i once tried to use yellow pages to manage passwords and stuff. try getting that to export /etc/shadow...
[08:45] <whta> i should have said it's not just mp3s, also ogg files :o
[08:45] <wilee85> where is the modprobe.conf file?
[08:45] <kitche> whta: you have to install the codecs for them
[08:46] <Terminus> anton_: well, only root has rw to shadow...
[08:46] <whta> kitche: doesn't linux come with built in support for free formats..?
[08:46] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Alright, it said "/mnt/etc/group: ASCII text"
[08:46] <kitche> whta: you need the codecs to play them though not sure if ubuntu comes with them by default
[08:46] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: 'gksu gedit /mnt/etc/group'
[08:47] <whta> kithce: the files that came in the UBUNTU EXAMPLES FOLDER had no sound, I'm assuming they were supposed to come with it =\
[08:47] <degus> hi guys!
[08:47] <sprizz> does anyone know how to remove freeglut3 without removing x?
[08:47] <anton_> whta: sounds like your sound isn't working okay. does ubuntu come with alsaconf?
[08:47] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: "GtK - WARNING **: cannot open display:"
[08:48] <whta> anton_: strange thing is some sound works. it's an odd problem. tell me how to check for alsaconf and i'll look >_>
[08:48] <anton_> whta: open a terminal, log in as root and type 'which alsaconf'
[08:48] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Try in a new terminal, I think it lost your display environment variable when you ran sudo -i
[08:48] <Ernz> anton_ Fixed our what my problem was with that boot screen...
[08:49] <heehoww> how can i install libdvdcss on dapper?
[08:49] <anton_> ernz: do tell :) (you didn't have your monitor plugged in?)
[08:49] <whta> anton_: that doesn't give me anything
[08:49] <PupenoR> Jager-: if you only have one big NTFS partition you'll need to backup, destroy and re-install. Alternative I belive there are some othe (proprietary) programs that can let you shrink an NTFS partition.
[08:49] <mats> heehoww: you have to enable the universe-multivere at /etc/apt/source.list
[08:49] <martin_> Nat spricht deutsch?
[08:49] <anton_> whta: then it's not there. mm, sound just worked for me, so i haven't got to grips with installing a sound card in ubuntu
[08:49] <mats> english
[08:50] <abo_> mount.ntfs-use is peaking in top every 3-4 seconds periodically, anyone had this problem before?

[08:50] <Nat_> martin: no in fact
[08:50] <Ernz> anton_ Correction: "Figured". lol - No, bizzarrely enough the USB keyboard works in the BIOS, works with a Mandriva boot, but not with Ubuntu. Very odd. I noticed it when I got a "Disk Read Error" and the thing wouldn't retry when I hit the Any key...
[08:50] <heehoww> mats: how can i do that??
[08:50] <Jager-> Gpart made to 1.4 gb partitions. One is "extened" one is "logical" and the logical is Linux swap2
[08:50] <whta> anton_: the first time i installed ubuntu there were no problems with sound. since then i've reformatted and got a new motherboard so that might be it.. but I don't get why some sound works and other sound doesn't
[08:50] <Jager-> is this normal?
[08:50] <mat1> heehoww i did it already befor u it dont repeat
[08:50] <anton_> whta: it's a complicated world. not all sound cards are the same
[08:51] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Alright, that's opened it... Now do I just add the user to root?
[08:51] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Theres a special admin group
[08:51] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Both of my users are in "adm"
[08:51] <Ernz> anton_ I just degaussed this 21" Compaq MONSTER by accident! Scared the hell out of me!
[08:51] <whta> I would have tried to install linux drivers for my card but I can't find any =\
[08:51] <Jager-> H3g3m0n: How can I go about creating a 10gb partition for linux? It doesnt seem to work in Gpart
[08:51] <Ernz> Thought I was being electrocuted.
[08:51] <heehoww> matl: sorry man....
[08:52] <anton_> ernz: if you have a cat, check to see what its fur is doing :)
[08:52] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Ah, silly me
[08:52] <scheuri> hi all...I have an odd problem with my USB-mass-storage devices lately...from one day to another I can not access them anymore...I plut them in, the usual window pops up, but nothing after...the device is mounted but not accessible with my normal user
[08:52] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: adm isn't admin, check down the bottom
[08:52] <mats> heehoww: hm?
[08:52] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Added it.. Just save and reboot?
[08:52] <mat1> heehoww: its ok:P
[08:52] <Ernz> lol
[08:52] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: Do you have the space free?
[08:52] <Jager-> yea
[08:52] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Yep that should be it
[08:52] <Jager-> about 17 gb
[08:52] <anton_> scheuri: which distribution?
[08:52] <heehoww> mats: i wasnt here when u taught that
[08:52] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: Here goes ;)
[08:52] <scheuri> ubuntu 6.06.1
[08:52] <mats> heehoww: oh ;)
[08:52] <scheuri> anton_: ubuntu 6.06.1
[08:53] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: Try cfdisk if gparted isn't working, you will also need to mkfs.ext3 the partition you make in cfdisk though
[08:53] <Ernz> anton_ Thanks for your help there. I think I manage from here.
[08:53] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: Good luck
[08:53] <Jager-> I need two partitions, one for / and one for swap. correct?
[08:53] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: Yep
[08:53] <mat1> any got any ideals on the EIP problem other then ram is not the problem...
[08:53] <anton_> scheuri: strange, i thought problems with usb were ironed out. haven't had any myself for ages. when you put the usb drive in, how is it mounted? (cat /etc/mtab)
[08:53] <Jager-> should i be able to get wireless working while running on the live cd??
[08:54] <darko3d> ok, i had it with this shit, does anybody know wherte i can find a guide on how to install beryl aiglx on dapper, other then the shitty guide on beryl's wiki
[08:54] <Block> is there a way to run mac apps on an ubuntu system?
[08:54] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: If your installing ubuntu then the installer will probally beable to allocate the space to the largest free region on your hdd
[08:54] <scheuri> anton_: funny thing is...my usb-HDD and my usbstick worked like a charm...until a few days ago
[08:54] <scheuri> anton_: same problem with PC at work...but much earlier...did not really bother, thought was another problem
[08:54] <mat1> darko3d: try searching berylonaiglx
[08:54] <ragamuffin> Can i comment out memtest and recovery mode from grub?
[08:54] <Jager-> H3g3m0n: so what option should I chose
[08:55] <anton_> ragamuffin: if you want
[08:55] <mats> Block: why would you do that? :p
[08:55] <mats> Block: then you have to emulate it
[08:55] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: In the installer for using free region or cfdisk for making a new parition?
[08:55] <zainka> I've tried to download some printer drivers from linuxprinting.org, but my Archive manager reported that "Archive type not supported.". I downloaded the "cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.i386.rpm" package + another one (same result for both)
[08:55] <anton_> scheuri: it's probably a rights problem
[08:55] <scheuri> anton_: oh...there is no usb-device in mtab...
[08:55] <Jager-> H3g3m0n: the installer
[08:55] <anton_> scheuri: and you've plugged it in?
[08:55] <Clansman> hola
[08:55] <Hoagie> H3g3m0n: It worked! I will love you forever, thanks a load! It makes me happy that people are willing to help someone as dense as me. ;)
[08:55] <Block> emulate it? hmm..
[08:55] <ragamuffin> anton_: I will have to add # in all lines dealing with the respective boot items or only the first line?
[08:55] <H3g3m0n> Hoagie: nps =P
[08:55] <scheuri> anton_: I just did...the window popped up.....
[08:56] <jcsteele> on dapper i use to be able to browse the available wireless networks using the "networking" diaglogs in the system menu...now i cannot.
[08:56] <anton_> scheuri: before plugging it in, type tail -f /var/log/messages in a terminal
[08:56] <thompa> checking system monitor I only show 1 cpu
[08:56] <scheuri> anton_: hmm...aye...
[08:56] <jcsteele> does anyone know of a good way to browse the wireless networks available?

[08:56] <thompa> anbody know what up with that, I always showed 2 cpus before now one
[08:56] <Jager-> H3g3m0n: whenever I chose "resize (hdd name) and use freed space" it wont let me resize it

[08:57] <scheuri> anton_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33731/
[08:57] <pixel> hi
[08:57] <zainka> Archive manager reports for some .rpm's that "Archive type not supported.". I downloaded the "cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.i386.rpm" package + another one (same result for both) from linuxprinting.org
[08:57] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: When you say you have free space, is it free space on a windows/other partition or unpartitioned space?
[08:57] <thompa> do i need to install a different kerenl for duo core?
[08:57] <anton_> liquidboy: windowmaker must have a conf-file. try ls -a in your home directory and look for something like .desktop, or .windowmaker or similar
[08:58] <Jager-> its free space on a windows partition
[08:58] <pixel> Jager-: how you going?
[08:58] <degus> My sound aint working(Creative Soundblaster X FI) ive read that there are no support for it yet(drivers will be availble around sumer 2007)  but now iam just wondering if there is some drivers that acctually works with my sound card? not fully functional just some sound mono or something just so i can listen to music..
[08:58] <Jager-> Hi pixel
[08:58] <dani_> hi
[08:58] <thompa> with the cdrom running i have 100% cpu usage and no 2nd cpu showing, weird
[08:58] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: Ah ok, try shrinking the windows partition down manually first in gparted, if it doesn't work check the error in the details section
[08:59] <pixel> I have 2 services that load when Dapper loads. how can I remove them from loading at boottime please?
[08:59] <Jager-> I've done that, and i also saved the log
[08:59] <dani_> van itt valaki, aki magyar?????????????????????????????????
[08:59] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: What the error is giving you?
[08:59] <Jager-> http://www.originalwebconcepts.com/Whatever/gparted_details.htm
[08:59] <anton_> scheuri: okay. i can't see it being mounted anywhere. what does cat /etc/mtab say?
[08:59] <nub_> can somebody help me with the nvidia glx drivers?
[08:59] <pixel> nub_: not me sorry
[09:00] <mordof> what does the "Alternate" CD do?
[09:00] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: "ERROR: Extended record needed (1048 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space."
[09:00] <anton_> pixel: look at run levels in /etc/rc.d
[09:00] <Jager-> H3g3m0n: (Thats an older log, but all Ive done after this is change the size I tried changing the windows partition to)
[09:00] <scheuri> anton_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33732/
[09:00] <dani_> nem tudtok magyarul beszlni??????????????
[09:00] <H3g3m0n> Jager-: just don't try to free that much space, try a smaller number
[09:00] <mat1> nub_: try searching berylonaiglx
[09:00] <zainka> Is Krusader file manager ported to Ubuntu???
[09:00] <Jager-> H4g3m0n: Ive tried down to 4gb
[09:00] <mat1> its there
[09:01] <anton_> scheuri: i can't see your usbdisk anywhere :(
[09:01] <darko3d> the beryl installation guide, says: Make sure to get the public key for the repository, where do i get that?????????????????
[09:01] <gleesond> is there a walkthough for upgrading to edgy from dapper.
[09:01] <pixel> anton_: there is no file called rc.d in my /etc
[09:01] <scheuri> anton_: oh my god....I just checked the /media-directory...there is an file called sda1...if I make a "more" it turns out to be my ddclient-config file

[09:03] <batrix> can anyone help me on connecting to an access point using iwconfig?
[09:03] <TMX> I've been trying to install ubuntu on my machine, but the xserver doesn't want to work.  It has dual NV 7800GT's. I've poked around using various options on the boot screen, and tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, changing the driver to NV and then VESA, and the colour down to 16 bit, 640x480 and a few other bits, but the result is always the same.
[09:03] <TMX> anyone any ideas?
[09:03] <Jager-> *sigh* defragging takes HOURS :'(
[09:03] <anton_> batrix: start be setting the name using iwconfig <device> essid "name of net"
[09:04] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, what are you defragging, and why?
[09:04] <scheuri> anton_: just deleted the file...now I can manually mount the usb-stick again...but still...after konquerer pops up asking if I want to open a new konquerer for the stick nothing happens...hmmm
[09:04] <H3g3m0n> TMX: Might be worth trying the nvidia binary drivers
[09:04] <scheuri> anton_: I must have been blind...sorry....did recon the file there
[09:04] <TMX> H3g3m0n: sorry, should have said, this is the installation CD
[09:04] <GeForce> TMX: The latest nvidia's drivers's name is nvidia btw, in your xorg.conf
[09:04] <batrix> anton_ ok i got that much
[09:04] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: Aparently that will fix the problem Im having resizing my qwindows partition
[09:04] <anton_> batrix: then set the key, if there is one
[09:04] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, the only linux fs i know ofthat has a defragger would be xfs, and that defragger is both fast and effecient
[09:04] <liquidboy> can anyone tell me what handles the desktop icons in xfce?
[09:04] <TMX> GeForce: sorry, should have said, this is the installation CD
[09:04] <batrix> anton_ there isn't a key
[09:05] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, aha, well, defragging ntfs is painfull :)
[09:05] <GeForce> tmx: oh, you mean on livecd?
[09:05] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: Im on widows defragging.. so that I can resize it using Gpart
[09:05] <TMX> GeForce: yes
[09:05] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: lol yes
[09:05] <anton_> batrix: then start the dhcp client ( i think thats dhcpclient in ubuntu, but i may be wrong)
[09:05] <GeForce> tmx: then you might have to use the Alternate install CD
[09:05] <Jager-> My god my hdd is fragmented
[09:05] <H3g3m0n> TMX: Tried VGA maby? Otherwise might be worth removing one of the cards for installation and instlaling the nvidia driver then adding the other card
[09:05] <Jager-> I havent defragged in like.. 2 yeara lol
[09:05] <anton_> scheuri: well, at least it's working manually.
[09:06] <H3g3m0n> TMX: Its probally possible to use the binary drivers on the live cd anyway
[09:06] <batrix> anton_ is that like dhcpd wlan0?
[09:06] <TMX> VGA mode had the same effect, yeah
[09:06] <sloncho> hi. is there a way to make Totem to autolaunch when I insert DVD?
[09:06] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, check out dirms & buzzsaw. its a free defragger that get the job done in the background, and defrags in a (very thorough) way that reduces future fragmentation
[09:06] <elubie> Hi! I'm trying to install the nvidia-glx drivers on Edgy with the generic kernel (AMD Athlon X2) and it wants to install linux-image-2.6.17-10-386 which I think I don't want?
[09:06] <sloncho> auto launch and auto play
[09:06] <anton_> batrix: dhcpcd eth0, or ath0 or whatever. not wlan0
[09:06] <TMX> H3g3m0n: it can?
[09:06] <scheuri> anton_: well, yes...but now I run into the old rights-problem....only root can mount and access it...:(
[09:06] <GeForce> elubie: Yes you do
[09:06] <Jager-> nolimitsoya: windows apps?
[09:06] <GeForce> elubie: Just means the driver needs an updated kernel
[09:06] <batrix> anton_ i get some licensing thing which i can't use dhcpd
[09:06] <TMX> *fires up lynx and gives it a go*
[09:07] <anton_> scheuri: yep, you're right there :( but you're also at the edges of my knowledge :(
[09:07] <Block> kitche: Yeah, I heard about the switch to intel cpus, but that dosn't make them a pcs in my world. I doubt that apple releases drivers for the mixed hardware in the pc realm..
[09:07] <nolimitsoya> Jager-, it might also be quite a bit faster, if you use the "ugly" (=almost as any other defragger, but slightly better) defrag option, and yes its a windows app :)
[09:07] <H3g3m0n> TMX: livecd should be a fully functional system, just will loose everything when you reboot :)
