[05:26] <gfxstyler> cfedde, i think it has to be uppercase, like VGA
[05:26] <seif> i tink most importantly i should protect the password files, and things like that, i suppose those are under etc? change permissions to 640? 440?
[05:27] <scrp> seif: the default permissions are fine :p
[05:27] <helpmeeee> boot/grub/menu.lst . ill check that stuff
[05:27] <JosefK> helpmeeee: windows can't be on hda5 anyway, because that's an extended partition
[05:27] <cfedde> gfxstyler: yea.  see my paste above.  where I added the -i to your command.
[05:27] <JosefK> helpmeeee: hda6?
[05:27] <helpmeeee> mby that then
[05:27] <seif> scrp: i wish i could get them back!
[05:27] <gfxstyler> cfedde, oh, sorry :)
[05:27] <cfedde> gfxstyler: :-)
[05:27] <JosefK> helpmeeee: just take the example at the bottom of /boot/grub/menu.lst and customise it for your system
[05:28] <scrp> seif: you can try to edit grub like they say, but sometimes (in my cases) Wintendo just wont run unless on hda1
[05:29] <roberts> If a package is in Universe, does that mean it's definately Free Software according to (roughly) the DFSG?
[05:29] <gfxstyler> scrp, whats even worse, it wont recognize other primary partitions
[05:29] <tritium> !universe > roberts
[05:29] <gfxstyler> scrp, but i found a fix, fs-driver.org << that driver can mount windows partitions too (even when windows doesnt recognize them) so you can use them again
[05:29] <seif> scrp: u obviously mixed me up for some1 else, my problem is that somehow, all the permissions on ubuntu got mixed up! system files are writeable globally! :S
[05:30] <thilak> Hey checkout this link http://digg.com/design/How_to_Draw_Graffiti_on_Websites/, really funny
[05:30] <zoidberg_> guys is there a webdav client for UBUNTU?
[05:30] <tritium> thilak: please stay on topic
[05:30] <SimonAnibal-Work> stefg, noone's alive in ubuntu-xgl :-(
[05:30] <scrp> seif: aw
[05:30] <stefg> !info davfs2
[05:30] <ubotu> davfs2: mount a WebDAV resource as a regular file system. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.2.8-1build1 (dapper), package size 57 kB, installed size 212 kB
[05:30] <thilak> tritium: sure ;)
[05:30] <plut_> #@$#@2
[05:30] <plut_> bah
[05:30] <scrp> seif: well, lol NEVER mess with chmod as root
[05:30] <Moodles> I just accidently rm *'d a directory, is there anyway to undelete the files. the drive's filesystem is ext3
[05:30] <scrp> seif: and never ever use -R
[05:30] <scrp> lol
[05:30] <plut_> still no luck with this damn wifi card
[05:30] <Teethy> Hi - i am a new to Ubuntu and want to migrate - during the installation process I continue to get error while partitioning, my questions is when I am asked ' How do you want to partion disk' is the slider to define the New Linux partiont OR does it mean how to resize the windows NTFS partition - im sorry a lame question but i need help
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> gfxstyler: Is that supposed to be for use when you mount a partiton and still cant see it?
[05:31] <helpmeeee> hey theres nothing about wintendo in that .lst file
[05:31] <plut_> anyone here played with an asrock mobo before?
[05:31] <Moodles> plut_: is it a netgear card by any chance?
[05:31] <plut_> Moodles: SMC Prism GT based
[05:31] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, I believe Wintendo is a joke, meant to disparage Windows
[05:31] <gfxstyler> Jack_Sparrow, i dont know, i just had a primary fat32 partition and windows didnt recognize it, then i mounted it with the fs-driver.org tool and it appeared in windows again :)
[05:31] <helpmeeee> i know that
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[05:31] <helpmeeee> :l
[05:31] <seif> scrp, :S argh! a lot of nevers, so ur saying i should leave them globally writeable?!?! or just turn off my machine so i won't loose data? incase of a vulerability? ( first time i say that about ubuntu! )
[05:31] <scrp> Teethy: Ubuntu is asking if how big the partition should be, thus resizing your current ntfs partition to fit another partition in there
[05:31] <helpmeeee> come on:D
[05:32] <heXLer> hi  I need an analog TV Card for my notebook. Can somebody advice me one that works with Ubuntu ?
[05:32] <scrp> seif: im saying you shouldnt have messed up all your permissions in the first place :)
[05:32] <stefg> Teethy: You have only one big ntfs partition covering the whole drive now?
[05:32] <gfxstyler> Moodles, i heard about ext2undelete
[05:32] <Teethy> @scrp that means - if my old NTFS partition is 60 GB and I want 10 for Linux I woudl set the slideer down to 50 or shoudl i define it as 10GB?
[05:33] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, Hey, cut me a break :) I'm a professional technology assistant, you wouldn't believe the things I've heard come out of people's mouths
[05:33] <helpmeeee> there are these three options that i can select . ubuntu, ubuntu recory mode, memtest ... so how do i put windows on that list
[05:33] <stefg> !hardware
[05:33] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:33] <seif> scrp, i didn't! i just logged in and got an error that my .dmrc has wrong permissions, changed the permission for my home foder without sudo, and then i discovered the disaster!
[05:33] <tritium> Run, smurfs!  It's azrael_ !
[05:33] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, Is there a commented out Windows entry?
[05:33] <azrael_> kanas ellhnas re paidia?
[05:33] <scrp> Teethy: err, not 100% sure, but i think you define it as 10GB (i've only set up Ubuntu once)
[05:33] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, They usually have commented out entries for various OSs
[05:33] <helpmeeee> il check again
[05:33] <plut> stefg
[05:33] <Moodles> gfxstyler: yeah I think it only works in ext2
[05:33] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, To aid you in creating valid entries for your own
[05:33] <plut> i just tried ndiswrapper
[05:33] <scrp> seif: mhmmh
[05:34] <gfxstyler> Moodles, but ext3 is ext2 with journals
[05:34] <plut> and breezy wont find the card still
[05:34] <plut> :/
[05:34] <tritium> azrael_: English here, please
[05:34] <azrael_> sorry
[05:34] <Teethy> no harm in trying then ;)
[05:34] <pettern> is there a list of hardware that works with the ubuntu kernel?
[05:34] <helpmeeee> no windows
[05:34] <plut> yes
[05:34] <stefg> !hardware
[05:34] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:34] <plut> there is
[05:34] <Teethy> ive gotten an errir defining it at 50GB
[05:34] <Crescendo> I can't connect to an FTP server, it says "Unable to display all the contents".
[05:34] <sudharsh> hi when i use vcds in xine-ui or gxine i get the following error
[05:34] <Moodles> yeah I just looked at a ext3, ext3 zeros out files, whereas ext2 just labels it as used.. something like that
[05:34] <sudharsh> xine: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.1/xineplug_inp_vcd.so: undefined symbol: vcdinfo_get_seg_resolution
[05:34] <pettern> thanks
[05:34] <tritium> azrael_: no problem, just easier to help you that way :)
[05:35] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeee, The windows entry should go something like:
[05:35] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, enable passive-mode
[05:35] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, title     Windows XP
[05:35] <seif> scrp, reinstall ubuntu?! which i would really hate to do, it's take me 2 days to get back to the point it was at!
[05:35] <gfxstyler> Moodles, oh, thats bad
[05:35] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, root     (hd0,0)
[05:35] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, makeactive
[05:35] <Crescendo> gfxstyler, how?
[05:35] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, chainloader +1
[05:36] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, in your ftp client, which one do you use?
[05:36] <Crescendo> Nautilus.
[05:36] <zoidberg_> guys my school has a school network that has my drives that i can access...i'm trying to access them under ubuntu...i tried just connecting to the server and etnering the HTTP:// address and in one case the HTTPS:// ...but when i would try to logon i would enter my username and passwrod and it would say it is incorrect...any help?
[05:36] <Crescendo> >_>
[05:36] <n1c> Is there any particular reason why I get "This option is not available" when I try "pppoeconf" in edgy?
[05:36] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, however, if your windows partition is not on (hd0,0) you'll first need to map it to (hd0,0)
[05:36] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, Windows is anal about being there
[05:36] <helpmeeee> so how can i do that
[05:36] <gfxstyler> sudharsh, that means that xine wants to use a method that does not exist
[05:36] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, give me a second
[05:36] <helpmeeee> second given
[05:36] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, i dont know if nautilus can do that
[05:36] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, i use gftp
[05:36] <Crescendo> It works at the house.  :(
[05:37] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html
[05:37] <sudharsh> gfxstyler, yeah but my dad is a little upset anyway..:(
[05:37] <Teethy> well thats a dead end also - get the ERROR - FAILED TO CREATE ENOUGH SPACE FOR INSTALLATION - i now get this error both ways so coudl it be possible my drive refuses to accept ubuntu?
[05:37] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, are you behind a firewall/router ?
[05:37] <Crescendo> Yes.
[05:37] <steven43126> hi
[05:37] <Crescendo> It worked before I reloaded this computer, too, though.
[05:37] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, it seems it's ok if it's not (hd0,0) as long is it's (hd0)
[05:37] <steven43126> Is it possible to launch a script when a device is inserted ? ie a usbdrive could launch a backup program?
[05:38] <gfxstyler> Crescendo, do you have a static ip or do you use dhcp? because if you use dhcp, you may just have the correct ports forwarded to another one (dhcp chooses a ip on each boot)
[05:38] <helpmeeee> k ill try to hack something
[05:38] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, so map your Windows drive to (hd0), and map (hd0) to your Windows drive before you makeactive it and
[05:38] <steven43126> i can configure the name of the drive using udev? but can i launch a script from there ?
[05:38] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, then the chainloader +1 should kick it into high gear
[05:38] <helpmeeee> huh
[05:38] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, I've got NO experience with Vista though, so YMMV
[05:38] <NicoleB> Hi all!  I am hoping to load a student edition of IDL onto my laptop with dapper drake.  But they say their IDL is for Red hat Linux.  Is it compatible?
[05:38] <helpmeeee> i sure hope so
[05:38] <eyequeue> so ms prevents their os from installing onto a third hard drive for example?
[05:39] <SimonAnibal-Work> eyequeue, nod
[05:39] <gfxstyler> lol
[05:39] <SimonAnibal-Work> eyequeue, except through crafty BIOS-juggling GRUB tricks
[05:39] <helpmeeee> i just got comfortable with vista and then it all went to hell
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> eyequeue: Not impossible... just not simple
[05:39] <helpmeeee> so now im here
[05:39] <eyequeue> SimonAnibal-Work, sounfs like shooting themselves in the foot
[05:40] <oskude> NicoleB: "compatible" yes. but propably the libraries it needs are not the same version as in red hat...
[05:40] <eyequeue> alienate the high-end users, etc
[05:40] <SimonAnibal-Work> eyequeue, *lol* I've stopped trying to understand M$'s business strategies a long time ago
[05:40] <roberts> "In universe you can find almost every piece of open source software, and software available under a variety of less open licences"   What does that mean 'less open licenses'?
[05:40] <NicoleB> oskude:  so it would lose some library programs?
[05:40] <eyequeue> but they are offtopic here, my apologies
[05:41] <nightshade> hey guys what are some basic things i need to know about linux
[05:41] <SimonAnibal-Work> eyequeue, :) Yeah, don't get a channel full of Linux geeks talking about Microsoft, it gets ugly
[05:41] <gfxstyler> lol
[05:41] <roberts> nightshade: It's a kernel, not an operating system.
[05:41] <SimonAnibal-Work> nightshade, that depends on how much experience you have otherwise
[05:41] <nightshade> ok
[05:41] <n1c> Is there any particular reason why I get "This option is not available" when I try "pppoeconf" in edgy?
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> nightshade,  ya need to know how to use google and how to search for 'tutorials/howtos/guides/docs' :) thats a fundamental thing to know.
[05:41] <gfxstyler> roberts, maybe they mean the lgpl (but it is free, too)
[05:41] <nightshade> iam brandnew at this
[05:41] <oskude> NicoleB: i mean, if like the program needs foolibraryX.Y and you got foolibraryY.X, it wont work... but you wont "loose" anything... normally
[05:41] <zoidberg_> can anyone help me out
[05:41] <SimonAnibal-Work> nightshade, I mean at computers in general, you obviously have enough skill to get here
[05:42] <Sakireth> Hi. During post-installation, I got this error: robin@robin-desktop:~$ sudo update-flashplugin
[05:42] <Sakireth> Password:
[05:42] <Sakireth> automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes
[05:42] <Sakireth> . It was during flash installation.
[05:42] <nightshade> iam good at that
[05:42] <eyequeue> nightshade, linux or ubuntu?
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> nightshade,  linux is like "Layers and legos"    little bits forming a foundation, that the next layer builds upon. Learn the fundamentals and you build a good knowledge foundation.
[05:42] <nightshade> ubuntu
[05:42] <zoidberg_> guys my school has a school network that has my drives that i can access...i'm trying to access them under ubuntu...i tried just connecting to the server and etnering the HTTP:// address and in one case the HTTPS:// ...but when i would try to logon i would enter my username and passwrod and it would say it is incorrect...any help?
[05:42] <NicoleB> oskude:  so, it won't hurt it to try?  Could I download those library files if I need one?
[05:42] <roberts> gfxstyler: Hmm, that's a strange way of phrasing the description of Universe, calling the LGPL less "open" than the GPL.  Merely becuase it lacks a copyleft clause?
[05:42] <stefg> http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm good primer on "what i need to know about linux" :-)
[05:42] <eyequeue> nightshade, learn the tools provided with your distro, patricularly package tool
[05:43] <helpmeeee> SimonAnibal-Work:  bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[05:43] <helpmeeee> :S
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Sakireth: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/08/install-mozilla-flash-plugin-in-ubuntu.html
[05:43] <cynical> zoidberg_: talk to your system admin and make sure your username/password hasn't changed
[05:43] <nightshade> whats that distro?
[05:43] <Supaplexg> stefg:what do you think about gentoo?
[05:43] <eyequeue> nightshade, synaptic or apt for example
[05:43] <gfxstyler> roberts, i dont know, i just know that you dont have to provide the source of your applications when you use lgpl libraries except if you changed them
[05:43] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, the line I spat here would be put in your menu.lst for GRUB to interpret, not BASH
[05:43] <Supaplexg> eyequeue:what do you think about gentoo?
[05:43] <eyequeue> nightshade, ubuntu is a distro
[05:43] <Supaplexg> just askin
[05:43] <nightshade> o ok
[05:43] <helpmeeee> lol:D k
[05:43] <stefg> ubuntu is an old african saying for: "I'm tired of compiling" :-)
[05:43] <oskude> NicoleB: hmm, you still didnt get it. red hat (propably) uses different library versions than ubuntu, so that package (compiled for redhat library versions) wont high likely not work... i would email them and ask for a ubuntu .deb package, or are they so lame ? ;)
[05:43] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, try "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[05:44] <jbroome> man, that joke never gets old
[05:44] <Krooga> question: how much confidence should I place in ntfs-3g?
[05:44] <eyequeue> Supaplexg, not into compiling everything, too resource intensive for my old hardware
[05:44] <gfxstyler> stefg, lol!
[05:44] <helpmeeee> gedit doesnt work.. i have to use thunar or nano
[05:44] <helpmeeee> weird
[05:44] <akash> hey i just installed the latest ubuntu using the alternate install cd. It said that for systems less than 192MB RAM that was the proper thing to install. The problem is it is too slow.
[05:44] <NicoleB> oskude:  Maybe they are.  Thanks for the info.  Nicole
[05:44] <eyequeue> Krooga, zero, per many here, i've never used it
[05:44] <jbroome> Krooga: depends, how much do you value what's on the ntfs partition? :)
[05:44] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, regardless, you understand what I mean now
[05:44] <stefg> Krooga: depends on the date of your last backup....
[05:44] <helpmeeee> jes
[05:44] <oskude> NicoleB: but if you really want to see your self, look for "alien" package in ubuntu
[05:44] <n1c> Is there any particular reason why I get "This option is not available" when I try "pppoeconf" in edgy?
[05:44] <Sakireth> Jack_Sparrow: But it was described in the guide as 'sudo flashplugin-update'
[05:44] <gfxstyler> akash, try to use another DE
[05:44] <Sakireth> i had to install a free version of flash./
[05:45] <Caplain> how do i have an application launch on gnome start?
[05:45] <roberts> gfxstyler: Right, non-copyleft (assuming it's only the libraries that are LPGLed).  But if one used LGPLed libraries for an application and modified the libraries, I don't think the application itself needs to be Free, just the changes to the libraries.
[05:45] <eyequeue> n1c, wrong channel, /join #ubuntu+1
[05:45] <stefg> !edgy
[05:45] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[05:45] <plut> okie
[05:45] <oskude> NicoleB: "alien" converts .rpm to debian .deb files, but the library mismatch remains!
[05:45] <plut> tell me someone
[05:45] <roberts> !schedule
[05:45] <kling0n> Caplain, edit system-pref-session
[05:45] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[05:45] <Sakireth> Jack_Sparrow: i had to install a free version of flash.
[05:45] <akash> gfxstyler, what is de?
[05:45] <plut> how long would modprobe take if i specified a new driver
[05:45] <n1c> Thanks eyequeue.
[05:45] <plut> and got the modules to load
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Sakireth: Some people have have problems and that was a way to get them going again with flash
[05:45] <eyequeue> n1c, np
[05:45] <gfxstyler> akash, desktop environment .. gnome is pretty heavy on very old systems so you may use *box or xfce (xubuntu)
[05:45] <Sakireth> Jack_Sparrow: Is it a newer version of flash?
[05:45] <plut> n1c
[05:45] <plut> !
[05:45] <plut> 1`
[05:46] <Caplain> kling0n: thanks
[05:46] <n1c> HAHAH
[05:46] <n1c> wtf are you doing in here plut?
[05:46] <akash> gfxstyler, do i need to install it over this or a brand new install ?
[05:46] <plut> asking for help dude
[05:46] <plut> :/
[05:46] <n1c> Hahah
[05:46] <n1c> join the club :D
[05:46] <plut> trying to get my damn wifi card running
[05:46] <n1c> And join the spam fest.
[05:46] <plut> yeah
[05:46] <plut> :|
[05:46] <stefg> !wifi
[05:46] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:46] <plut> stefg
[05:46] <plut> i just referred there
[05:46] <plut> :/
[05:46] <tritium> !enter
[05:46] <gfxstyler> akash, no, you can just install it in the package manager and choose it at the login screen (sessions)
[05:46] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[05:46] <plut> and cant get this damn card to work
[05:46] <Supaplexg> are you bsd user eyequeue?
[05:46] <n1c> plut Do you by any tiny change dial PPPoE from your ubuntu?
[05:46] <plut> no
[05:47] <plut> i've got my netgear on router mode
[05:47] <n1c> :|
[05:47] <plut> what router do you have?
[05:47] <akash> gfxstyler, thanks i will just try that
[05:47] <eyequeue> Supaplexg, someone is impersonating me? ;-)  thanks for the heads-up, heh, and no
[05:47] <n1c> The old telkom pots one.
[05:47] <n1c> But I like using PPPoE because it gives me more control over accounts.
[05:47] <gfxstyler> akash, the package is called xubuntu-desktop i think
[05:47] <plut> yeah
[05:47] <plut> you do have control
[05:47] <Sakireth> Anyone? Why do I get this error? http://pastie.caboo.se/14360
[05:47] <n1c> I can make the router dhcp and dial, but it's lame.
[05:47] <plut> thing is
[05:47] <eyequeue> Supaplexg, not that i haven't had my chare of bds, but not by the name
[05:47] <eyequeue> Supaplexg, not that i haven't had my chare of bds, but not by thIS name
[05:47] <plut> i'm in a predicament with that
[05:48] <plut> ah yes
[05:48] <Krooga> hmm, i can't help but feel that, having close to a terabyte of ntfs formatted volumes, bill gates has made me his bitch
[05:48] <plut> well yeah - you need a decent dhcp server
[05:48] <plut> i'm just struggling to run with the NIC i have
[05:48] <n1c> :/
[05:48] <plut> breezy doesnt support my damn onboard
[05:48] <oskude> Sakireth: whats "update-flashplugin" ?
[05:48] <plut> and my 3com card isnt being detected
[05:48] <n1c> Oh fun.
[05:48] <stefg> !doesn't work
[05:48] <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.
[05:48] <Sakireth> oskude: I have it from the guide.
[05:48] <plut> yeah
[05:48] <frying_fish> Krooga: well, buy 1 drive and convert them one at a time, thats what I did originally
[05:48] <plut> i have a feeling it's my mobo driver
[05:49] <n1c> :/
[05:49] <plut> so i'm going to try get it to detect
[05:49] <oskude> Sakireth: seems very unofficial... i dont have that package in my sources, and never heard about "the guide", sorry...
[05:49] <Krooga> since ntfs isn't too linux friendly, how windows friendly are linux filesystems?
[05:49] <gfxstyler> Sakireth, why not update with the package manager
[05:49] <Sakireth> gfxstyler: It was in the GUIDE.
[05:49] <frying_fish> Krooga: ext3 works with a driver.
[05:49] <gfxstyler> Krooga, ext3 can be used very easily in windows, www.fs-driver.org
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Krooga: You can read ntfs with no problems
[05:50] <gfxstyler> Krooga, read-write
[05:50] <eyequeue> Krooga, there is one for ext2 i'm told, on some site with "file" or "driver" or somthing in it
[05:50] <gfxstyler> Krooga, it says ext2 but ext3 works, too
[05:50] <eyequeue> Krooga, what gfxstyler said
[05:50] <Krooga> any idea of the efficiency of ntfs vs ext2/3 in a windows environment?
[05:50] <Supaplexg> eyequeue:okay =)
[05:51] <NoWhereMan> hi guys
[05:51] <roberts> Krooga: It's not a matter of open filesystems being Windows-friendly, it's a matter of Microsoft adding support for them into Windows at no charge.  By default, you'll find that filsystems such as ext3 and ReiserFS will not work under Windows, but you can get them recognized with third-party drivers.
[05:51] <zoidberg> cynical: it hasnt changed coz i use it on windows machines
[05:51] <oskude> Krooga: afaik, windows doesnt "understand" any "linux" filesystems out of the box, so...
[05:51] <difeta> I'm trying to setup a unix printer here. I've set the paper type and size to US Letter, but when I attempt to print anything the printer complains about not having A4 paper. What else must I change so my system uses Us Letter paper and not A4?
[05:51] <stefg> plut: you'd need info what chipset and/or wlan hardware you have... entering the exact name and model together with 'ubuntu' in google might be a better idea than just sitting there and waiting for the spoonfeed
[05:51] <eyequeue> robertj, the issue is the reverse however
[05:51] <frying_fish> roberts: not sure about reiser yet, I know someone was working on a driver, but that seemed to die
[05:51] <gfxstyler> Krooga, i rather trust the ext3 driver than ntfs :) i didnt experience any corrupted data in ext3 on windows, but i have no experience with ntfs on linux because in forums i just heard nightmare stories
[05:52] <roberts> oops
[05:52] <plut> stefg
[05:52] <plut> i tried that
[05:52] <jbroome> i did install the ext2/3 driver on windowsxp and it saw my ext3 external drive fine
[05:52] <jbroome> read/write
[05:52] <plut> it seems the realtek 8101g chipset she is not supported
[05:52] <plut> which leaves me in a predicament
[05:54] <Phoul> has there been any updating issues?
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> plut: ndiswrapper can make most of those work
[05:55] <plut> yeah
[05:55] <plut> i looked in that list
[05:55] <plut> :|
[05:55] <plut> but it seems the pci bridge is the driver i need now
[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:56] <Teethy> I have a problem installing Ubuntu on my NTFS system - when i reach the partition creation area - it gives me an error FAILED TO CREATE ENOUGH SPACE FOR PARTITION - this happens for any size of partition i try to create  I have a 60GB drive with 19 GB and want to create 5 GB for ubuntu and 7 GB for swap, any help?
[05:56] <jbroome> 7GB for swap?
[05:56] <jbroome> holy crap
[05:56] <Teethy> yea
[05:56] <jbroome> wtf?
[05:56] <Teethy> ? too much?
[05:57] <Phoul> rotfl
[05:57] <jbroome> ummm yeah
[05:57] <Phoul> wow
[05:57] <Justy-> Teethy, 1 GB is enough  i tihnk
[05:57] <oskude> Teethy: you try to install ubuntu on ntfs ?
[05:57] <Teethy> sorry im officallit a n00b
[05:57] <Teethy> from live CD
[05:57] <Teethy> so its 1GB
[05:57] <jazwec> hi...please, could anybody help me with running sound blaster audigy 2 zs on ubuntu?
[05:57] <Justy-> i think so..
[05:58] <oskude> Teethy: ntfs is "only" for wintendo, so please use ext3 (or such) for ubuntu..
[05:58] <Justy-> lol @ wintendo
[05:58] <plut> Jack_Sparrow
[05:58] <rickympl> hello everyone, im having microphone probs, tryed this thread  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206145 and nothing, i can hear myself on the speakers but cant record using the mic
[05:58] <plut> any idea why pci cards wouldnt be detected?
[05:58] <Teethy> oskude - i understand that - but i have to reduce my NTFS to a 50GB size - so that the rezst can be used by ubuntu -
[05:59] <Justy-> yes
[05:59] <plut> even after ndiswrapper
[05:59] <plut> :|
[05:59] <eyequeue> rickympl, may i clarify?
[05:59] <tritium> plut: they should be.  Does lspci show the card?
[05:59] <plut> no
[05:59] <plut> :|
[05:59] <plut> but windows sees them
[05:59] <oskude> Teethy: i hope you unfragment your ntfs partition first...
[05:59] <ubunter> ?how to make shortcuts in xubuntu?
[05:59] <eyequeue> rickympl, you can hear yourself on speakers, so the mic is not the issue
[05:59] <plut> its an intel 865 board
[05:59] <Teethy> but when I try to resize i get the error -
[05:59] <Justy-> brb
[05:59] <znull> why my volume is not working in BPM ? any ideea ?
[05:59] <rickympl> eyequeue, ok
[06:00] <eyequeue> rickympl, you can't record though, so i'd say your record app needs to be pointed to the right mic device
[06:00] <dyn> hi
[06:00] <rickympl> lspci gives me this 0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)
[06:00] <dyn> please help me setting up mISDN and CAPI
[06:00] <Teethy> i did - defrag the drive but no luck even then - it gives me the error that FAILED TO CREATE ENOUGH SPACE FOR PARTITION
[06:00] <eyequeue> rickympl, meaning the solution lies in looking elsewhere :) namely the config for that recording app, whatever it may be that you use :)
[06:00] <dyn> I'm not sure where to start and the wiki is missing the information (TODO)
[06:00] <plut> erm
[06:00] <ubunter> who know how to make shortcuts in xubuntu?
[06:00] <plut> quick question
[06:01] <znull> why my volume is not working in BPM ? any ideea ?
[06:01] <rickympl> i tried arecord, audacity
[06:01] <plut> how do a force a new hardware detection?
[06:01] <oskude> Teethy: i *never* resize partitions, so dont have any ideas what could cause that error, sorry
[06:01] <Teethy> np
[06:01] <rickympl> how can i c if the card is on dev/dsp1 or wutever?
[06:01] <ladydoor> ubunter: ln -s /full/path/to/filename /full/path/to/shortcut/or/"./shortcutname"
[06:02] <ad_> having torturous trouble writing a cd - should it be so hard? can i change settings etc?
[06:02] <gfxstyler> ad_, burning cd's are easy with gnomebaker
[06:02] <oskude> Teethy: maybe you should resize under wintendo... oh wait, it cant ;)
[06:02] <gfxstyler> or k3b
[06:02] <gfxstyler> lol
[06:02] <gfxstyler> partition magic can, though
[06:02] <Teethy> LOL -
[06:02] <Sh4d0x> hi all Sh4d0x is in the house :p
[06:03] <bulldog_> Hello :)
[06:03] <ad_> gfxstyler: i'm using gnomebaker - easy is not what it is
[06:03] <gfxstyler> ladydoor, if the path has some spaces like /some thing/ then you have to use "" though, like "/some thing"
[06:03] <linux__alien> i ve an AMD 64 Bit Athlon processor and NVidia G-Force Card and 256 MB DDR RAM. I want to install Ubuntu . Which should i install 32 bit or 64 bit ? and can i install KDE also in Ubuntu or should i go in for Kubuntu ?
[06:03] <stefg> Teethy: so it might be a wise idea to make a backup image of your windows (with a software that can restore on different partition sizes) and repartiton the whole drive. Having a backup is recommended anyway even when you resize a partition. This is potentially dangerous
[06:03] <Teethy> gfxstyler - can i repartion and then let ubuntu live cd get hold of the unclaimed territory
[06:03] <ladydoor> gfxstyler: of course! or you can use bash's handy-dandy tab completion :-)
[06:03] <gfxstyler> Teethy, with partitionmagic? or with ubuntu's resizing tool?
[06:04] <Teethy> Partiont magic
[06:04] <gfxstyler> ladydoor, it inserts the "" automatically? w00t!
[06:04] <oskude> linux__alien: dunno about 64bit, ill wait a year... but you can install kubuntu allso under any ubuntu
[06:04] <gfxstyler> thanks for that hint!
[06:04] <ladydoor> gfxstyler: no, but it adds backslashes, which do the same thing but for just one letter
[06:04] <gfxstyler> linux__alien, 64bit may have some troubles with binary-only stuff
[06:04] <ladydoor> gfxstyler: *character, i mean
[06:04] <ad_> gnomebaker is crashing, freezing, not completing disk writes, failing to get access to the writer... - any ideas?
[06:04] <gfxstyler> ladydoor, oh, okay, but thanks anyway
[06:05] <ladydoor> gfxstyler: np
[06:05] <linux__alien> oskude, Oh so you advice me to install the 32 bit . Ok well i will install it but how can i install Kubuntu under any Ubuntu. I didnt understand that
[06:05] <gfxstyler> linux__alien, install the package "kubuntu-desktop"
[06:05] <linux__alien> gfxstyler, will there be any big differences between 32 bit and 64 bit ?
[06:05] <gfxstyler> linux__alien, i dont think so
[06:05] <plut> bah
[06:05] <plut> i'm installing 2003 server
[06:06] <plut> no hardware support for it
[06:06] <gfxstyler> linux__alien, no noticable speedup on my gf's 64bit laptop
[06:06] <ad_> why would gnomebaker stop working - it's driving me mad
[06:06] <oskude> linux__alien: theres a package named "kubuntu-desktop" in all ubuntu "derivates", so just install that if you want kubuntu too. the kubuntu distribution (the cd and such) just has kubuntu-desktop as default (where ubuntu has gnome-desktop as default) installed
[06:06] <rickympl> eyequeue, ive tried using /dev/dsp and dev/dsp1 on udacity and nothing
[06:06] <kara> well that didnt turn out so well SimonAnibal-Work :l .. error error . something about no  os found or smthn..
[06:06] <linux__alien> gfxstyler, Oh Thanks then i would go with 32 bit itself . Thanks :-) Will get back online after i install Ubuntu
[06:07] <zEE> hello =)
[06:07] <linux__alien> but do people install Kubuntu-Desktop in Ubuntu ? Do people really do it or people install Kubuntu?
[06:07] <linux__alien> which one is better
[06:07] <linux__alien> ?
[06:07] <rickympl> nevermind, seems like it just works now
[06:07] <rickympl> didnt really do anything
[06:07] <ad_> no one able to help with writing cds at all?
[06:08] <oskude> linux__alien: better is very realtive... in the end both are "same" ...
[06:08] <eyequeue> linux__alien, i tried it once, hated kubuntu, but was glad i still had all of gnome installed
[06:08] <stefg> ad_: gnomebaker is a piece of questionable software, to be honest. Consider k3b, even when using gnome
[06:08] <zEE> I'm lookin for a C/C++ IDE, what could be good?
[06:08] <eyequeue> linux__alien, technically you "have" kubuntu after that (you just also have regular ubuntu as well)
[06:08] <Samuli^> linux_alien, not much difference there. Installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu machine leaves you with LOTS of apps on the menus, so you need to clean them up a bit.
[06:08] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, Hmmm. Well, for purposes of full disclosure, I've only ever gotten GRUB to dual-boot with Windows XP while Windows XP was already in (hd0,0) using exactly the lines I fed you earlier. I've never needed to map, and have no experience doing so. I may not be able to help you all the way with this one.
[06:09] <ad_> stefg: is k3b in uubuntu repos?
[06:09] <stefg> !info k3b
[06:09] <ubotu> k3b: A sophisticated KDE CD burning application. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.14-0ubuntu7 (dapper), package size 3941 kB, installed size 8376 kB
[06:09] <oskude> ad_: but of course!
[06:09] <ad_> and it works ok on gnome without loads of setup and crashes?
[06:10] <elmargol> I need a new mail application :( any suggestions? I need imap support and gpg
[06:10] <oskude> ad_: yup. i use it too now and then
[06:10] <linux__alien> Oh Thanks then will install it . Thanks a lot
[06:10] <linux__alien> :--)
[06:10] <Sh4d0x> ad_: yes it does
[06:10] <elmargol> I'm using evolution atm.
[06:10] <ladydoor> elmargol: console or graphikal?
[06:10] <linux__alien> Will be back once i install Ubuntu
[06:10] <ad_> cool, i'll try it - thanks people
[06:10] <elmargol> ladydoor: I prefer gtk
[06:10] <ladydoor> elmargol: ah. no idea then
[06:10] <zOrK> Ubuntu "recognize" like 4 eth*, and when I try to use wireless it does not work, how can I "reset" all the configurations?, I tried deleting all att interfaces but it does not work too!
[06:10] <Skaag> is there a dns cache?
[06:10] <linux__alien> is Ubuntu better than FC 5?
[06:10] <gfxstyler> zEE, anjuta, codeblocks, gedit(no real ide), kdevelop
[06:10] <zOrK> what can I do to fix my wireless?
[06:10] <Skaag> and can it be flushed?
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ad_: K3B works fine,, for ...  K3B permissions...   settings, setup, enter password and click ok
[06:10] <Skaag> I mean in ubuntu
[06:10] <gfxstyler> zEE, codeblocks editor is slow on linux, though
[06:11] <stefg> !wifi
[06:11] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:11] <Sh4d0x> ad_: just switch session, chose kde (making it default is your choice ... but it works fine)
[06:11] <gfxstyler> zEE, anjuta works best for me
[06:11] <linux__alien> i am a FC 5 user. I am thinking of moving to Ubuntu Dapper
[06:11] <zOrK> ok
[06:11] <zOrK> thakns
[06:11] <ladydoor> linux__alien: it depends what you're looking for
[06:11] <Skaag> I mean if I ping host.com and it remembers the ip... does it remember the ip?
[06:11] <helpmeeee> SimonAnibal-Work: too bad :l  i've googled for like 4 hrs and everyones telling me to reinstall..  but i believe there is a way to write new booting for vista.. it should be totally ok ..
[06:11] <linux__alien> ladydoor, I code. I develop applications i use it for browsing,listening to music and watching movies
[06:11] <jazwec> please, i need help with setting my sound card and speakers...could anybody help me?
[06:11] <bao_> i have a netgear pcmcia wlan card that has dual channels, but ubuntu only enables ath0. is there any way i can take advantage of the other channel?
[06:11] <linux__alien> This is what i do
[06:11] <eyequeue> install one kde app, you'll see the billion libs it pulls in :/
[06:12] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee, I've never even seen Vista IRL and interestingly enough, I'm not in a particular hurry to
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> helpmeeee:  You could try the super grub repair cd and see what os's it can find and setup for you
[06:12] <ziro01> hey
[06:12] <helpmeeee> where can i get super grub repair cd
[06:12] <oskude> eyequeue: yeah, you need 80% of 100gb for your pirated files ? ;)
[06:12] <SimonAnibal-Work> helpmeeee: hey Jack_Sparrow's suggestion sounds constructive
[06:12] <ladydoor> linux__alien: in that case many distributions will do. in ubuntu, you need to install build-essential to compile programs
[06:12] <ziro01> you tell me
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> helpmeeee: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/SuperGrubDiskPage.html
[06:12] <cyberfr0g> hello
[06:12] <Sh4d0x> hi
[06:13] <Justy> !build-essential
[06:13] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[06:13] <Sh4d0x> Jack_Sparrow: ok lemme see
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> helpmeeee: It tries to locate and setup all valid OS's
[06:13] <linux__alien> ladydoor, So in that case Ubuntu will suit me right because i heard that Ubuntu is only for newbies
[06:13] <linux__alien> is that so ?
[06:13] <Utopiate> HA!
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> No
[06:13] <ladydoor> linux__alien: ubuntu has or can have all any normal linux development programs.
[06:13] <oskude> linux__alien: omg, ubuntu is only for newbies ?! :/
[06:13] <Justy> linux__alien, :(
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> linux__alien: Users of all levels use it
[06:13] <Utopiate> that's what I say linux_alien
[06:13] <linux__alien> Its my question. i dont mean it
[06:13] <ladydoor> linux__alien: it's not *just* for newbies--it's just by default kind of annoyingly user-friendly :-)
[06:13] <gfxstyler> oskude, or *cough* p*rn
[06:13] <cyberfr0g> tell me
[06:14] <Ace_NoOne> hey there
[06:14] <linux__alien> Oh Ok Thanks and sorry for that comment rather it was a question so let me install it . I am currently in FC5 so let me give Ubuntu a try
[06:14] <eyequeue> linux__alien, someone has perhaps been trolling you, very many in this channel are far from new
[06:14] <ladydoor> linux__alien: whatever you think!
[06:14] <gfxstyler> btw: you guys write so much, once you dont pay attention for one minute you have problems following
[06:15] <Sh4d0x> Jack_Sparrow: what's wrong with your grub, why did you try to install such a "super grub"?
[06:15] <stefg> linux__alien: why not see it yourself :-) you'll love apt, if you only know rpm, and the degree in stupidness of bugs is far less in ubuntu than in fc :-)
[06:15] <linux__alien> cya all Thanks for your help. Let me install that
[06:15] <linux__alien> Oh Ok Thanks i am gonna install the 32 bit edition right away
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Sh4d0x: Nothing is wrong withmy grub setup...
[06:15] <linux__alien> Thanks
[06:15] <Ace_NoOne> I have problems running the (K)Ubuntu live CD(s); everything's incredibly slow (and I mean REALLY slow)! However, I guess that's not normal, as the Knoppix live CD runs a lot faster - is it possible that Ubuntu does not use the hard drive as temporary RAM extension?
[06:15] <dmd> How do I get my ethernet internet connection to start on boot?
[06:16] <Ace_NoOne> Also, I have 128 MB RAM, but when I go to the boot menu's advanced options, it says something like RAM_DISK_SIZE=10248578 - is that correct?
[06:16] <stefg> Ace_NoOne: what Hardware, how much RAM?
[06:16] <gfxstyler> Ace_NoOne, maybe it uses no dma
[06:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Sh4d0x: Super Grub Repair is a decent tool when a user is having problems with multiple drives and OS's and getting their grub menu.lst right
[06:16] <pradeep> dmd, how do you connect?
[06:16] <SimonAnibal-Work> Ace_NoOne: Seeing as I've run the Ubuntu live CD on a computer without a hard drive I'd say it's fair to say it doesn't use the hard drive
[06:16] <Sh4d0x> Jack_Sparrow: ow I C
[06:16] <Ace_NoOne> stefg: 128 RAM, 600 Mhz CPU
[06:16] <stefg> Ace_NoOne: that's simply not enough
[06:16] <oskude> Ace_NoOne: the "alternate cd" has the good old textmode installer that works faster and on low mem...
[06:17] <Gino> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 5.10, and am running a live disc for now
[06:17] <Gino> i have a question
[06:17] <stefg> Ace_NoOne: consider xubuntu, and install from the 'alternate-CD'
[06:17] <Sh4d0x> Gino: shoot
[06:17] <Ace_NoOne> Oh ok, then I'll simply use the alternate CD - that will install the very same Ubuntu as the other one though, right?
[06:17] <Gino> how can i make a backup of my os
[06:17] <dmd> pradeep: atm i have to go into system -> admin -> network choose my ethernet card then connect
[06:17] <oskude> Gino: ubuntu you know 5.10 is not the actual version ?
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Ace_NoOne: You are trying to use kubuntu on 128 system?
[06:17] <Ace_NoOne> yes - that too low?
[06:18] <stefg> Ace_NoOne: but gnome is too heavy for that... you need something lighter. Use xubuntu
[06:18] <Sh4d0x> Gino: why would you like to backup your os o.O
[06:18] <Gino> yes i do realize, but i read reviews around that 5.10 is the most stable with my laptop
[06:18] <Gino> Dell Inspiron 6000
[06:18] <Ace_NoOne> Okay, I actually got Xubuntu lying around somewhere
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> 256 is minimum recommended
[06:18] <zOrK> even dhcp nor wireless work
[06:18] <zOrK> !!
[06:18] <Utopiate> I have a few questions about performance using 6.06 LTS
[06:18] <oskude> Gino: i would test myself, before believing suchs sayings...
[06:18] <mdasilva_> can xgl and compiz be installed from the online repositories?
[06:18] <Gino> i made wireless and ethernet work fairly easily, and as we speak im on the live disc
[06:18] <mdasilva_> or does it take much manual configuration?
[06:18] <Tokenbad> is there a way to fix tar.gz files?
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Ace_NoOne: X would be a better choice with 128 not U or K
[06:19] <zOrK> you're a lucky guy then
[06:19] <Ace_NoOne> using another window manager (i.e. Xfce over KDE) won't change anything in terms of functionality, right? I can still use OpenOffice and such?
[06:19] <pradeep> dmd ... you have multiple ethernet cards?
[06:19] <Sh4d0x> Gino: why don't you use a dualboot? so you don't have to backup your os
[06:19] <dmd> pradeep: 2
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !xgl
[06:19] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[06:19] <Ace_NoOne> btw: this would be my first Lunux install, if you couldn't tell so far...
[06:19] <Gino> my hardrive is extremely full, i need a fresh start with all my documents
[06:19] <oskude> Tokenbad: how is it broken ? how should a program know that ? try downloading again, maybe with "wget"
[06:19] <stefg> Ace_NoOne: of course, but OOo 2 will crawl, as it's a memory hog
[06:20] <Ace_NoOne> yeah, I know :/
[06:20] <ladydoor> Ace_NoOne: well, you might check out abiword and gnumeric--they're really good programs and can both read m$ & oo.o programs
[06:20] <Gino> and i no longer use the comp for any gaming, which is why i decided to go for linux
[06:20] <ladydoor> Ace_NoOne: and they're faster
[06:20] <oskude> Tokenbad: and check the md5sum of that file (if available)
[06:20] <Ace_NoOne> will do - thanks a lot, guys!
[06:20] <dmd> pradeep: it did autoconnect before i messed with the sysv config tool to turn off bluetooth etc.
[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Gino: You gave up Wintendo... good for you
[06:20] <Sh4d0x> Gino: good choice, can't you place your data on a external disk, or memory stick or ...
[06:20] <Gino> i see that even though im running from a CD, it almost feels like its more responsive then normal Windows XP
[06:21] <Gino> which is why i want to have a single main Ubuntu boot
[06:21] <Gino> no windows
[06:21] <Utopiate> So when I switch network profiles using the network util under Administration (gnome-network-manager) it takes FOREVER to make any changes... is it the same all round?
[06:21] <Gino> but, my Dell never came with my Windows CD, nor did it come with the built in Backup utility
[06:21] <dmd> is there a daemon/ sysv thing which does the job of autoconnecting my eth internet?
[06:21] <Gino> there is some Symantec thing built in the boot
[06:21] <Gino> lol
[06:21] <deadlyallance442> does anybody know of a irc channel for mini-itx/via C3/iMedia MythTV Linux
[06:22] <sudharsh> hi..vcd performance using mplayer or xine or vlc is very poor. When i expand to fullscreen i get pixelations and slow frame rates. cpu usage shoots up. same problem occurs in all the players. which package do i have to download
[06:22] <sorush20> is ubuntuguide.org sources right?
[06:22] <stefg> Gino: so if you dedicate a complete drive to ubuntu there's a lot you can gain by doing the partitioning right... in terms of speed and convinience
[06:22] <Sh4d0x> lol @ ladydoor
[06:23] <pradeep> dmd : sorry .. i'll see if i can help
[06:23] <Utopiate> The letter for today is "S"...
[06:23] <oskude> sudharsh: is your cpu fast enough ? what video drivers do you use ?
[06:23] <Gino> this thing feels like theres no lag lol
[06:24] <Sh4d0x> Utopiate: yes!!!! S from Sh4d0x   rofl!! :D
[06:24] <eyequeue> Gino, my wireless was sensed by the installer, but wired should be automatically asked
[06:24] <pradeep> dmd did you try re-enabling whatever you disabled thru sysv?
[06:24] <sudharsh> oskude, the problem doesnt occur with gentoo and other distros..i have an amd 2000+ xp..imo thats fast enough
[06:24] <Ace_NoOne> oh, another newbie question: I have two HDDs in my PC - can I install Linux on the secondary drive or does it have to be the primary one?
[06:24] <Gino> i had to actually manually configure both connections, although the hardware was detected in both cases
[06:24] <eyequeue> Gino, and then configured with dgcp or static (at least from the alternate cd)
[06:24] <Utopiate> So when I switch network profiles using the network util under Administration (gnome-network-manager) it takes FOREVER to make any changes... is it the same all round?
[06:24] <Gino> which is why i want to stick with 5.10
[06:25] <oskude> sudharsh: hmm... what video driver did you use under gentoo ? (and what no?)
[06:25] <dmd> pradeep: i turned a lot of stuff off and I didn't make a backup of my config :(
[06:25] <oskude>  sudharsh *now
[06:25] <ladydoor> !repeat

[06:25] <zaggynl> anyone knows of an easy program for VOIP like VoipBuster?
[06:25] <clmd> weee :D
[06:25] <clmd> texting 1 2 1 2
[06:26] <zaggynl> clmd, you fail
[06:26] <sudharsh> oskude, i have a damned sis 650..will check it up and report.....now what was the command to configure X.? :)
[06:26] <Utopiate> sorry... I pushed "up" for my lat typed thingy... pushed it too many times... ;-)
[06:26] <ryctor> I cant find the 2.6 kernel source, how to get it?
[06:26] <stefg> !info linux-source
[06:26] <ubotu> linux-source: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 52 kB
[06:27] <dmd> sudharsh: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver , or something
[06:27] <oskude> sudharsh: ah, a sis... hmm, do they have hardware acceleration ? but if it worked under gentoo, hmm... "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[06:27] <dmd> thats the one!
[06:27] <beemonk> could someone help me out with installing xp on a spare part of my HD's....

[06:28] <sudharsh> oskude, forget direct rendering..i have been with this card for two years and hardware accel..btw breezy worked like a dream..
[06:28] <ryctor> thanks
[06:28] <abhinay> my friend is not able to connect to internet,LAN is not detected, i think  LAN driver is needed , my friend has RTL8139D LAN card & sify broadband , any suggestions ?
[06:29] <beemonk> sorry
[06:29] <oskude> sudharsh: hmm... i would start to look what video driver you used where it worked... then maybe (but unlikely) check if cdrom (if you read from cd) has dma on.. hmm...
[06:29] <pradeep> dmd: do you just select the ethernet card or select card then issue a command to connect?
[06:30] <dmd> pradeep: no command needed, select card and click connect
[06:30] <sudharsh> oskude, dma is on..jus checked..i had the same video drivers when it worked too..! kinda weird..maybe its some libraries i am missin
[06:30] <dmd> I think my /etc/network/interfaces is wrong
[06:30] <voraistos> hello huys. I wanted to know how to install a different GL theme for gnome? (using aiglX) By the way if there is someplace where i can find info about what GTK 1 and 2 , compiz and metacity exactly are, that would help;) cheers
[06:30] <jelly> How do I browse nfs shares in nautilus?
[06:31] <eyequeue> !xgl > voraistos
[06:31] <eyequeue> voraistos, see  that channel ubotu mentioned
[06:31] <voraistos> yeah; no problem, except that i am not using XGL
[06:31] <dmd> does xchat not feature one to one chat?
[06:31] <oskude> sudharsh: hmm... i never played vcd's... but that sound wierd... vcd was mpeg-1 ?
[06:31] <eyequeue> jelly, what are nfs shares?
[06:32] <eyequeue> dmd, /msg nick foo
[06:32] <jcml_uk> voraistos: ignore gtk1 - it's old.  gtk2 (its replacement) is a widget library (flames > /dev/null).  Metacity's a window manager.  You'll find google's quite useful on all of those.  compiz is a window manager for swishy pertyness, I think ...
[06:32] <eyequeue> dmd, /query nick   if longer, but watch the bot

[06:33] <PseudoPlacebo> Anyone here play drums, with double-bass pedal?
[06:33] <ladydoor> PseudoPlacebo: go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:34] <Gino> guys, how do I make a backup of my Windows OS, with a Dell Laptop which has no backup CD whatsoever, or no backup utility
[06:34] <dmd> pseudo: no double pedal yet, why you ask here?
[06:34] <eyequeue> PseudoPlacebo, i think you win the award for most surprising topic question today ;-)
[06:34] <ladydoor> lol
[06:34] <PseudoPlacebo> Yeah.
[06:34] <PseudoPlacebo> How do I get root on my bass pedal?
[06:34] <oskude> Gino: ask dell or ms
[06:34] <eyequeue> PseudoPlacebo, #ubuntu-offtopic though
[06:35] <voraistos> jcml_uk: thanks mate. I was wondering, how can i relook old GTK 1 apps without changing all my system's theme (which i prefer to be GTK2). they also talk about GTK engines. cant get it. and yes i googled, but couldnt understand. that why i was asking around here ;)
[06:35] <PseudoPlacebo> It was an /amsg
[06:35] <eyequeue> PseudoPlacebo, or even ##offtopic
[06:35] <Gino> i need it incase Ubuntu ever fails me, lol, and cause im a newb
[06:35] <dmd> pseudo: you're too stoned for me right now!
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> abhinay: HAs he tried to ping a webist?
[06:35] <Dell-B130> stoned?
[06:35] <Dell-B130> what?
[06:35] <Dell-B130> where?
[06:36] <Gino> yo Dell guy
[06:36] <dmd> he wants root on his bass drum pedal??
[06:36] <oskude> Gino: ubuntu is not "allowed" to use microsoft patents!
[06:36] <Zuu> ohh damn crist wooooh theres a lot of ppl in here!
[06:36] <Gino> did your system come with a backup OS
[06:36] <Gino> lol
[06:36] <henzo> hello
[06:36] <helpmeeee> SimonAnibal-Work:  which program i should use to write image to dvd.. so it also would work
[06:36] <eyequeue> i wonder if one could dd the ms partition off to some monster file for later use?
[06:37] <voraistos> Gino: u want Windows to save your life in case Ubuntu crashes? You are... fun.
[06:37] <eyequeue> optimal would be to contact the seller and get the right media
[06:37] <Gino> lmfaooooooooo :P:P
[06:37] <Zuu> can i install ubuntu without the need for actually burning a physical CD ?
[06:37] <dmd> pseudo: for bass drum 'root' practice paradiddles with your feet to a metronome, doubling and halving speed
[06:37] <oskude> helpmeeee: the same way you got the image from the dvd...
[06:37] <eyequeue> Zuu, not really, but possibly :)
[06:38] <voraistos> Zuu: do u have a 1GB usb key ?
[06:38] <bouter> hi
[06:38] <helpmeeee> i downloaded it.. now i shall use my almighty ubuntu to download the image to disk?
[06:38] <PseudoPlacebo> I want a 1GB USB key.
[06:38] <Gino> no, windows has ruined my life, but im making a backup of it incase i am not able to fully install Ubuntu
[06:38] <bouter> can anyone help with my problem?
[06:38] <helpmeeee> :D
[06:38] <Zuu> voraistos, well no.. so lets just say i have no other media than my harddrive
[06:38] <Gino> cause now im runinng on a Live Disc
[06:38] <Gino> and love it
[06:38] <eyequeue> helpmeeee, not from a live cd i hope
[06:38] <sorush20> my network speed is not good what do I do  ?
[06:38] <Zuu> i have suse and windows on it allready, and the ubuntu .iso
[06:38] <Gino> so, i want to have a single boot, Ubuntu system
[06:38] <oskude> helpmeeee: well... rtfm where you downloaded the dvd image...
[06:38] <bouter> I have VMware installed on dapper drake  I installed windows office  etc etc    so it worked well
[06:38] <Zuu> i want to replace suse with ubuntu :P
[06:39] <sorush20> I keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24257
[06:39] <voraistos> Zuu: i think the best way is just to get a damn CD. the shipit thing hould be able to send one or more for free
[06:39] <helpmeeee> a guy from this chatroom gave me the .iso file.. now i need to get a dvd burner to burn it
[06:39] <oskude> helpmeeee: but the normal cd/dvd burning tools have option to burn cd/dvd image...
[06:39] <eyequeue> helpmeeee, live needs the cd in to run apps, but burning requires that cd out, to have a target
[06:39] <bouter> but now  everytime I want to open VMware server    the application starts     I see that in my windows list on the panel
[06:39] <Zuu> voraistos, i have no empty CD's :(
[06:39] <helpmeeee> i have installed ubuntu
[06:39] <helpmeeee> i just need a name
[06:40] <bouter> and then that is gone    but VMware doesn' t start
[06:40] <helpmeeee> for a dvd burner
[06:40] <sudharsh> oskude, i noticed something dvds and mpegs plays fine..only vcds givin me trouble
[06:40] <Gino> ok guys, one other question, when i burn the disc image of the OS, do i burn it as a boot CD
[06:40] <voraistos> Zuu: i mean, they send u a Ubuntu instal CD at your home in your mailbox for free
[06:40] <Angeltronix> hi guys, where i can get info about installing xgl+compiz on KDE (kubuntu)?
[06:40] <eyequeue> helpmeeee, cdrecord, gnomebaker, k3b,    console, gnome, kde
[06:40] <helpmeeee> thanks
[06:40] <bouter> !troubleshooting VMware
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about troubleshooting VMware - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <Zuu> voraistos, i dont really wanna wait for such CD
[06:40] <oskude> helpmeeee: have you tried right click on the image (iso) file, and select "burn" ?
[06:40] <vorbote> helpmeeee, if you are already using some linux, you may use growisfs. Read the manual page, it is highly recommended (better than copy and pasting whatever a yahoo like myself may tell you  in an IRC channel). Open a terminal and type "man growisfs"
[06:40] <backz> hi, can I scan a website and extract only the text from it?
[06:40] <Zuu> i wanted to install ubuntu right now :)
[06:40] <backz> using wget?
[06:40] <helpmeeee> there is no such option :\
[06:40] <oskude> sudharsh: and other vcd players play that cd fine ?
[06:41] <Zuu> tomorrow, i might dont want to no more
[06:41] <bouter> noone?
[06:41] <oskude> helpmeeee: do you have a cd/dvd burner ?
[06:41] <Zuu> nor the day after that and so on :P
[06:41] <helpmeeee> yes
[06:41] <sudharsh> oskude, yes..
[06:41] <Agrajag> bouter: run it from a terminal and tell what it says
[06:41] <oskude> sudharsh: hmm...
[06:41] <helpmeeee> i need software ;)
[06:41] <flicovent> Can any one help setting up a G3 with ubuntu?
[06:41] <oskude> helpmeeee: k3b is the mightiest burn program i know...
[06:41] <Zuu> does ubuntu have better hardware support than Suse ?
[06:41] <helpmeeee> k i try it
[06:42] <voraistos> Zuu: problem is you need to boot the system... without rally booting it. just try to get an empty hard drive or partition, uncompressthe CD image on it and boot from it. just like the Win98 method
[06:42] <Sh4d0x> oskude: amen to that
[06:42] <oskude> Zuu: i doubt anyone has compared that...
[06:42] <deadlyallance382> is there a genral linux channel ?
[06:42] <Zuu> took me just around 5 months to get suse working, and i just wanna get a sense of how long it would take to make it work with ubuntu
[06:43] <Angeltronix> hi guys, where i can get info about installing xgl+compiz on KDE (kubuntu)?
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Zuu: That is why they made the livecd...
[06:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !xgl
[06:43] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[06:43] <oskude> Zuu: try here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:43] <Zuu> voraistos, so it is possible to get it booted and install on the same drive as the install files ?
[06:43] <voraistos> Zuu: i am thinking about something nice, but i need to check with the guys ;)
[06:43] <flicovent> I can't locate device tree trunk  screen just goes white and three lines of syntax appear.
[06:44] <untung> hi guys,  do you know how to setup dv camera in ubuntu?
[06:44] <Gino> im tired of live CD, now i want the real OS, how do i do it, if i want a single boot system (NO WINDOWS)
[06:44] <Zuu> voraistos, sweet :)
[06:44] <sudharsh> oskude, now i tried another movie..it worked fine....but three vcds that was working 3 hours back in gentoo aint doing so in dapper...
[06:44] <Angeltronix> thanx!!!
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Zuu: IS there a reason you dont want or cant boot the livecd?
[06:44] <untung> I have a dv camera connected to a firewire card
[06:44] <Xnix> anyone know a good app to change my wallpaper every so often
[06:44] <Xnix> automatically
[06:44] <oskude> sudharsh: hmm, and they are standard vcd ? (not divx or so)
[06:44] <Zuu> Jack_Sparrow, what are you talking about ?
[06:45] <kyja> It can boot.... it can install...... it can fullfill long boring nights and lonely weekends its............ubuntu
[06:45] <voraistos> OK guys, here is what we wanna do: there is a ubuntu.iso file on a linux partition, we want to boot from grub/lilo whatever from it; I mean mount the image in the boot loader. is that possible?
[06:45] <a_l_e> a fast question: is there a way to know which are the last packages installed?
[06:45] <sudharsh> oskude, yup standard ones..
[06:45] <kyja> voraistos, you dont want to burn then live boot the cd?
[06:45] <Sh4d0x> Xnix: maybe you want to use kde (kubuntu) it has a default option exactly what you want
[06:45] <eyequeue> Xnix, sorry, chuckling here at the possiblity of someone putting pron on your desktop.
[06:45] <oskude> sudharsh: have you looked google/ubuntuforums if someone had these problems too ?
[06:45] <Xnix> lol
[06:46] <bouter> Agrajag: hang on
[06:46] <voraistos> kyja: no
[06:46] <Xnix> Sh4d0x no i definitely dont want to run kde
[06:46] <helpmeeee> k3b did it
[06:46] <helpmeeee> thanks dudes
[06:46] <voraistos> kyja: its for Zuu
[06:46] <Zuu> =)
[06:46] <Blob> I've seen that the noapic option at boot may resolve an issue I'm having with a message: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[06:46] <kyja> variant, it is fully functional os running off cd?
[06:46] <kyja> oh
[06:46] <flicovent> Please, can anyone help getting Ubuntu running on a G3? I am currently using it on a intel box and it worked fine but isn't with the g3.
[06:46] <Xnix> but can i use the kde root window setting proogram maybe Sh4d0x ?
[06:46] <Blob> but what else does noapic do?
[06:46] <kyja> emulation?
[06:47] <Xnix> hmmm
[06:47] <barney> OK Folks. In a bit of a situation here. Lots of coursework to do for tomorow, my windows got borked this morning, and I am going to reinstall dapper (broken also). I need to know how to export a list of currently installed packages, fast!
[06:47] <clmd> what is the path to irssi ?
[06:47] <clmd> i got ubuntu
[06:47] <Xnix> wallpaper-tray may do the trick
[06:47] <a_l_e> flicovent: does it help if i know how to get it to work on a g4?
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> flicovent: Did you use the mac version? Had to ask
[06:47] <flicovent> Yes. I did.
[06:47] <clmd> some one who can help me?
[06:47] <Dragonfire1> I'm very impressed with ubuntu thanks
[06:47] <flicovent> G4 might help, tried the support forum but to no availe so far thogh.
[06:47] <Sh4d0x> Xnix: don't think so although I have no experience by using kde root window in gnome
[06:47] <voraistos> kyja: yes. in the boot oader
[06:47] <voraistos> loader*
[06:47] <clmd> helo :D
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> barney:  Use Terminal type dpkg --get-selections > myprog.txt
[06:48] <barney> Jack_Sparrow, I think I love you!
[06:48] <oskude> flicovent: i wonder if someone even continues to develope ubuntu ppc...
[06:48] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[06:48] <Kragnerac> Hello, when I mount my Windows partition onto Ubuntu, it successfully does, but the name shows some strange characters, like "H } (A Square with '0010')". Can anyone help?
[06:48] <flicovent> Nothing in open firmware seems to work either.
[06:48] <eyequeue> barney, and ... you love me, ... lol
[06:48] <Xnix> Sh4d0x well it will probably work if i knew the name of the app, unless it is handled by konqueror, which it might be
[06:48] <steveire> Hey, is there a way to install a minimal (text) ubuntu without installing 'server' I think i saw a link to a mini.iso, but I don't know what it's for.
[06:49] <barney> eyequeue, did you help? I apologise! I can't scroll up in this crappy IRC client tho, haha.
[06:49] <barney> Anyway, tata everyone <3
[06:49] <Sh4d0x> Xnix: don't know the name, it's a default option under the setting "change background" in kubuntu
[06:49] <eyequeue> barney, no, i chuckled at the image of barney singing i love you to Jack_Sparrow :)
[06:50] <Xnix> Sh4d0x kk thx
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[06:50] <a_l_e> flicovent: please put my name on your replies if you want me to notice them :-)
[06:50] <kyja> voraistos, I can't fathom the need to that. sorry I came into this conversation late. It runs of the cd as full os. it can be installed on a partition. and I guess if you used that emulator that I cant remember the name of you could use it that way.
[06:50] <flicovent> oskude: lol, I hope so, although it is 1998 hardware that I am working with.
[06:50] <kyja> variant, I would be suprized if grub or lio could boot of an iso image
[06:50] <Sh4d0x> Xnix: yw
[06:51] <Kragnerac> Anyone? :(
[06:51] <flicovent> a_l_e: G4 might help, tried the support forum but to no avail so far though.
[06:51] <a_l_e> flicovent: yes, i've read this now... but what is your problem?
[06:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: How did you mount it?
[06:51] <oskude> flicovent: i mean, now that apple doesnt use ppc anymore, will there be any new machines (for normal people) that uses ppc ?
[06:51] <eyequeue> how can there be unregistered in here, with the options set in the channel?  odd
[06:51] <steveire> no one?
[06:51] <a_l_e> oskude: yes, apple is not the only producer of ppc machines!
[06:51] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: "sudo mount /dev/hda1"
[06:52] <voraistos> kyja: hmmm the point is not to emulate ubuntu under another OS, but to boot from a CD IMAGE with GRUB
[06:52] <kyja> OH !!!
[06:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Can you post your fstab to the pastebin and not into the channel
[06:52] <voraistos> kyja: yeah thats a different challenge. no Vmware here ;)
[06:52] <deadlyallance382> is there a genral linux channel ?
[06:52] <oskude> a_l_e: ok
[06:52] <dmd> OK- I think I know now why I'm not getting auto-connected to the net on boot, its because I turned off the loopback daemon. Could someone please tell me what runlevels I need to activate it on?
[06:52] <kyja> LIKE HIS pc does not boot up on cd drive so he needs grub to pick it
[06:52] <Pierre> re
[06:53] <bouter> Agrajag: thanx for the information   doing that I knew what was the problem
[06:53] <eyequeue> deadlyallance382, yes, ##linux i believe
[06:53] <Pierre> "bash: /usr/bin/vim: Permission denied"  and /etc/alternatives/vim broken, sounds familiar to anyone? solution?
[06:53] <deadlyallance382> thank you
[06:53] <a_l_e> oskude: ibm and pegasos among others (but it's true, it's not a big market!)
[06:53] <flicovent> a_l_e: the problem is that even if i boot holding the c key, it just goes to a white screen with a command prompt.
[06:53] <voraistos> Zuu: what kind of bootloader do you have?
[06:53] <eyequeue> Pierre, no, but try sudo update-alternatives --config vim
[06:53] <Zuu> voraistos, Grub :)
[06:53] <kyja> voraistos, I think you could tell grub something like "mount /dev/cda/kernelblabla
[06:54] <kyja> something like that
[06:54] <a_l_e> flicovent: and does mac work on that machine?
[06:54] <Samuli^> dmd, I'd think level 2 and 1 if you want networking on single-user mode.
[06:54] <Zuu> voraistos, im currently asking in #grub :P
[06:54] <ncalpunker> Does ubuntu have an update mechanism, like RedHat's up2date?
[06:54] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[06:54] <eyequeue> ncalpunker, no idea what that is, but yes
[06:54] <voraistos> kyja: not sure. GRUB reads things strangely, but yeah #grub is a good idea
[06:54] <dmd> samuli: not 0 too?
[06:54] <Zuu> Not many there tho :/
[06:54] <Marlun> Is there some program I can install on my server which keeps track of how much it send and retrieve on the network (and maybe more usefull info)?
[06:54] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24260
[06:54] <eyequeue> ncalpunker, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, if you want to do it manually now
[06:55] <Blob> I've seen that the noapic option at boot may resolve an issue I'm having with a message: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[06:55] <H_ammer> hi!
[06:55] <Blob> but what else does noapic do?
[06:55] <Tokenbad> hmm...have downloaded this same tar.gz file like 3 times....and everytime I try to uncompress it...get an error
[06:55] <Sh4d0x> Zuu: what's wrong with your grub?
[06:55] <Tokenbad> and have tried from different locations
[06:55] <ncalpunker> eyequeue: Ok, so it uses apt-get.
[06:55] <kyja> Zuu, do you have grub already?
[06:55] <flicovent> a_l_e: yes, the prompt is after the "welcome dapper" screen.
[06:55] <Zuu> Sh4d0x, what makes you thing that something is wrong with it :)
[06:55] <eyequeue> ncalpunker, everything does :)
[06:55] <Samuli^> dmd, Really I don't know, what's the harm loading it on 0 though?
[06:55] <voraistos> kyja: she does
[06:55] <Pierre> eyequeue, http://phpfi.com/155536
[06:55] <kyja> k
[06:55] <Zuu> kyja, sure
[06:55] <Sh4d0x> Zuu: dunno cuz you are trying to ask questions in #grub :p:d
[06:55] <voraistos> Zuu: she/he/it:whatever
[06:55] <ncalpunker> eyequeue: Is there a way to update everything?
[06:55] <dmd> samuli: true, but
[06:55] <eyequeue> ncalpunker, system > adminsitration > update manager also exists, for the gui people
[06:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Your windows is on a fat and not ntfs?
[06:56] <a_l_e> flicovent: so, the c key works or not?
[06:56] <ncalpunker> eyequeue: Cool, thanks.
[06:56] <Kragnerac> Yes. It is on a FAT32 partition.
[06:56] <Zuu> Sh4d0x, yes.. could be neat if grub could boot from .iso image ^^
[06:56] <a_l_e> flicovent: that is: when you press the c key does it boot on the cdrom?
[06:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Is it a ntfs that was converted to fat?
[06:56] <g00lan> can you changes a windows size true a command in the terminal??
[06:56] <flicovent> a_l_e: yes, it must do to have the ubuntu screen, I believe but it must be cutting out or something.
[06:56] <eyequeue> ncalpunker, there are apps, automatically enabled i believ, that will check every day or two, congurable, in the background and notify you on the gnome panel
[06:57] <Zuu> voraistos, just have the cooliest ideas :D
[06:57] <Sh4d0x> Zuu: true that would be nice :d
[06:57] <kyja> Zuu, you could try that then. I dont know. about iso file but a finnished cd grub could bake boot if you know what grub calls the cd as a device and know the path to the kernal
[06:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Does your windows boot ok?
[06:57] <Kragnerac> Hmm. Let me check.
[06:57] <Zuu> kyja, you seem not to understand the poiint here
[06:57] <[WC] Guard> Hello, I set an icon package, but the only icon that wont change is the Ubuntu icon menu, how do I change it??
[06:57] <Zuu> the point is NOT TO HAVE A CD
[06:57] <voraistos> Zuu, he didnt, now he does i think
[06:57] <kyja> Zuu, perhaps not. you want it to boot the iso image file
[06:58] <ladydoor> !shout
[06:58] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:58] <ladydoor> !attitude
[06:58] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:58] <voraistos> Zuu: yes he does understand
[06:58] <kyja> gosh.
[06:58] <a_l_e> flicovent: sorry, you're giving me too few and too general informations. if you don't exactly describe what's happening there, we/I can't guess!
[06:58] <Sh4d0x> lol ladydoor
[06:58] <Zuu> kyja, yeah.. i think, if it would work :)
[06:58] <flicovent> a_l_e: wondered if it's a dodgy disk but not sure how to check or anything.
[06:58] <kyja> hmm I will do a small bit of research
[06:58] <a_l_e> flicovent: ... and now i have to leave an prepare the dinner.
[06:58] <xorl> i've seen people boot that with grub.
[06:59] <xorl> Just point the iso to grub correctly and it loaded it just fine.
[06:59] <a_l_e> flicovent: the simpliest way is to download again the iso... or to burn a new cd... 1/2 hour if you have some sort of DSL
[06:59] <eyequeue> Pierre, what does    sudo update-alternatives --auto  do for you?
[06:59] <flicovent> a_l_e: thankyou all the same, :) :-/
[06:59] <Pierre> eyequeue, permission denied, cannot remove vim.dpkg.tmp
[06:59] <H_ammer> hi, i'm new here, and i have a fast question: why i cannot use iwspy with my acx based wireless card?
[06:59] <voraistos> kyja: is there anybody on #grub ?
[06:59] <kyja> vurtual pc can boot iso images.
[06:59] <eyequeue> Pierre, what does    *sudo* update-alternatives --auto  do for you?
[07:00] <voraistos> kyja: yes but its virtual, isnt it ?
[07:00] <Pierre> eyequeue, I used sudo, they are RO
[07:00] <eyequeue> Pierre, sudo should take away permission errors
[07:00] <flicovent> a_l_e: OK, will try that.
[07:00] <Zuu> voraistos, yep 27 dudes including me :)
[07:00] <kyja> yup thats the downside. you need to already be in an os
[07:00] <NaMcO^> hi to all
[07:00] <jazwec> hi..please could anybody help me with running sound blaster audigy 2 zs?
[07:00] <eyequeue> Pierre, okay, this should rerun the postinst script, as root:  "sudo apt-get --reinstall install vim"
[07:01] <Pierre> eyequeue, "update-alternatives: unable to remove /etc/alternatives/vim.dpkg-tmp: Operation not permitte" to be exact
[07:01] <Pierre> eyequeue, I tried that already, no success
[07:01] <eyequeue> Pierre, Pierre ls -l /etc/alternatives/vim.dpkg*  just tell me the suffixes please
[07:02] <Pierre> eyequeue, it worked out of the box until a few mins ago. X crashed and I reboot
[07:02] <eyequeue> Pierre, is there an old?
[07:02] <Pierre> eyequeue, no such file
[07:02] <eyequeue> Pierre, funny, it had a dpkg-tmp a moment ago
[07:03] <eyequeue> Pierre, okay, let's do surgery manually :/
[07:03] <Pierre> eyequeue, it says that it does not have the permission to remove it, not that it exists :)
[07:03] <[WC] Guard> how do we have the configuration editor in gnome?
[07:03] <laddercoins> Um, to all it may concern, Filcovent is talking about my G3. It's just that I couldn't get on IRC, but now I can I may be able to be more specific about the problem.
[07:03] <eyequeue> Pierre, ls /usr/bin/vim*, to get the true name first    is it vim-basic?
[07:04] <ladydoor> [WC] Guard: you mean gconf-editor?
[07:04] <[WC] Guard> yes
[07:04] <mdasilva_> whats the command to reselect apt mirrors?
[07:04] <Pierre> eyequeue, vim.basic works
[07:04] <cpk2> mdasilva_: you edit them into sources.list
[07:04] <[WC] Guard> ladydoor: yes
[07:05] <laddercoins> a_l_e:Filcovent is talking about my G3. It's just that I couldn't get on IRC, but now I can I may be able to be more specific about the problem.
[07:05] <eyequeue> Pierre, sudo rm /etc/alternatives/vim && ln -s /usr/bin/vim.basic /etc/alternatives/vim
[07:05] <eyequeue> Pierre, sudo rm /etc/alternatives/vim && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/vim.basic /etc/alternatives/vim
[07:05] <ladydoor> [WC] Guard: ok, then, you've figured out what the program is, right?
[07:05] <eyequeue> Pierre, the second one, sorry
[07:05] <tritium> eyequeue: perhaps use update-alternatives instaead
[07:05] <tritium> instead even
[07:05] <eyequeue> tritium, broken for him, oddly
[07:06] <tritium> oh, ok
[07:06] <[WC] Guard> yes, I want to change my menu icon, but it say i must do something in this
[07:06] <Pierre> eyequeue, I suspect a disk problem, sigh. ?-wsr-x-wT 51540<PHONE_NUMBER> 879507146 22160024 2064-10-14 08:33
[07:06] <eyequeue> tritium, even as sudo permission errors on a dpkg-tmp file
[07:06] <eyequeue> Pierre, ouch, you had to power down perhaps?  the x issue?
[07:06] <Pierre> eyequeue, I will first check that before going with more write opts
[07:06] <dmd> anyone here got sysv-rc-conf installed?
[07:06] <laddercoins> a_I_e:It asks me to enter something for the ">boot:" command, and says If In Doubt, Press Enter. I do so, and it goes straight to a white screen displaying "Open Firmware 3.0" and a copyright notice from apple. It also says "can't allocate initial device-tree trunk."
[07:07] <Pierre> eyequeue, I had to reset, everything was dead
[07:07] <eyequeue> Pierre, agreed.  you may need to fsck from a rescue cd if you can
[07:07] <helpmeee> well that cd didnt help..
[07:07] <syli725> hi, anyone can help me on vpnc? I need to connect to my company VPN server. In windows XP, I just need create a new connection and give username and password. but when I tried vpnc, it ask me more than that. eg: IPSec ID, IPSec secret. Now, I couldn't connect to the server. any suggestions? or should vpnc work or not?
[07:07] <helpmeee> i need something to fix my vista boot please ppl.. vista is on second disk btw
[07:07] <laddercoins> :|
[07:08] <tritium> syli725: vpnc works.  You need to configure it
[07:08] <eyequeue> syli725, i'd contact the server admin and ask those facts
[07:08] <syli725> tritium, thanks a lot. can you give me any ideas?
[07:08] <tritium> syli725: vpnc comes with a utility that can take the Cisco client's config file, and convert it to one that vpnc can use
[07:08] <dmd> helpmee: youknow the drill 'format d:'
[07:08] <helpmeee> no non ononono
[07:08] <syli725> eyequeue, thanks. I will try it tomorrow ....
[07:08] <helpmeee> way too much mp3 and no cd
[07:09] <dmd> :) Sorry, standard irc gag
[07:09] <syli725> tritium, hm... thanks. but i don't really understand...
[07:09] <tritium> syli725: dpkg -L vpnc will list the files in vpnc
[07:09] <helpmeee> i'm feeling sick .. whole day in google .. no answer
[07:10] <dmd> I'm looking for someone who could run sysv-rc-conf for a coupla seconds for me please!
[07:10] <tritium> syli725: look for one in /usr/bin that also has a manpage (not vpnc, but the utility)
[07:10] <helpmeee> if someone can help me i need something to fix my vista boot please ppl.. vista is on second disk btw ... im please
[07:10] <tritium> dmd: ubuntu doesn't use that
[07:10] <voraistos> Zuu: you here ?
[07:10] <tritium> dmd: try update-rc.d
[07:10] <syli725> tritium, thanks. what is the utility name?
[07:11] <Zuu> voraistos, im allaround :P
[07:11] <tritium> syli725: I don't recall.  I don't have vpnc installed.
[07:11] <dmd> tritium: I just need to know what runlevels loopback should be running on
[07:11] <voraistos> Zuu: that means that we can try to remove your current system while using it
[07:12] <dmd> sysv-rc-config seems to work fine
[07:12] <Zuu> uhh.. how would that be done ?
[07:12] <[WC] Guard> ladydoor: you know how to change the menu-object icon?? i checked the use_custom_icon, but i think i have other thing to do
[07:12] <eyequeue> dmd, "runlevels: are irrelevant in debian/ubuntu, 2 3 4 and 5 are identical, 2 is default
[07:12] <laddercoins> To anyone who was discussing booting a Ubuntu Live CD on a G3 iMac with Filcovent: he's talking about my G3. It's just that I couldn't get on IRC, but now I can I may be able to be more specific about the problem.It asks me to enter something for the ">boot:" command, and says If In Doubt, Press Enter. I do so, and it goes straight to a white screen displaying "Open Firmware 3.0" and a copyright notice from apple. It
[07:12] <syli725> tritium, thanks a lot. i will try to find it out by myself. thanks.
[07:12] <voraistos> Zuu: We need to get minimum packages running needed by Debian/ubuntu.
[07:12] <dmd> thanks eyequeue!
[07:13] <eyequeue> dmd, man update-rc.d for more info
[07:13] <eyequeue> dmd, np
[07:13] <voraistos> Zuu: remove all the rest. install ubuntu system while using Susue throught apt-get
[07:14] <Zuu> :P
[07:14] <eyequeue> voraistos, ubuntu-minimal package is good for that
[07:14] <eyequeue> !info ubuntu-minimal
[07:14] <ubotu> ubuntu-minimal: Minimal core of Ubuntu. In component main, is important. Version 0.120 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 40 kB
[07:14] <jang_> hi
[07:14] <voraistos> Zuu Or we can do that another way
[07:14] <voraistos> Zuu wait
[07:14] <Lam_> is there a linux program that'll convert my pc keyboard into a musical keyboard?
[07:14] <Zuu> hehe
[07:15] <voraistos> eyequeue: thing is we are not on a debian system. Well Suse is not a debian system, is it ?
[07:15] <tritium> voraistos: no, it's not
[07:15] <Zuu> voraistos, it uses rpm as its primary package stuff if that answers it :)
[07:15] <eyequeue> voraistos, no, though you had mentioned apt-get so i thought i'd toss that out to you (not him to confuse, heh)
[07:15] <laddercoins> Lam_: the only program I know of that can do that is Mac-Exclusive... Damn, that was very unhelpful  :(
[07:16] <Lam_> laddercoins: :(  thanks anywas
[07:16] <kyja> :/ you know on a google search there is an ununtu music comunity dedicated on creating music with ubuntu. found it on a search the other day.
[07:16] <voraistos> eyequeue: your technique was used in the Hoary times to make a Net install, but i am not sur we can make it like that
[07:16] <Lam_> kyja: i'll look into that. thanks for the heads up
[07:16] <Daniel^> Is there a way to force a laptop to "power save" mode even though its connected to the power cord?  I think its too noisy at the moment,  I rather sacrifice some performance.
[07:17] <jang_> can anybody tell me how to change the paper settings (in Ubuntu 6.06) an my network printer (connected to a Kubuntu 6.06 using cups)? on the client, all settings are gray, but it uses the wrong settings.
[07:17] <eyequeue> voraistos, i did a debian -> dapper recently that way, painfully, though it's not supported these days
[07:17] <voraistos> Daniel^Yes !
[07:17] <voraistos> eyequeue: I do respect You.
[07:17] <laddercoins> Hm......Meh.
[07:17] <eyequeue> voraistos, but suse > dapper is no doubt another beast altogether
[07:18] <voraistos> Daniel^ You want emifreq
[07:18] <Daniel^> ok,  thnx
[07:18] <majyk> what gstreamer plugin is needed to play mp4 files? I've installed every plugin that looks relevant but rythmbox still complains that there is no plugin installed to decode the file.
[07:18] <eyequeue> voraistos, lol, no removable media drives, i had little choice, heh
[07:18] <DrZeus> **hi all.  Is it possible to hide the whole navigation of directories from the terminal prompt?
[07:19] <voraistos> eyequeue: Ask Zuu: no CD drive, no internet connection, no... etc ...
[07:19] <voraistos> lol
[07:19] <dmb> did someone hilite me?
[07:19] <eyequeue> voraistos, i'm glad i dind't start from rpm-based then, heh
[07:19] <Zuu> i do have a dvd-drive tho no CD's
[07:19] <voraistos> hehe
[07:20] <Zuu> and i do have internet, but only when a lot of random needed stuff is installed to make the wifi work
[07:20] <voraistos> Zuu. maybe this drive is a CD burner ?
[07:20] <DrZeus> is it possible to hide the whole location address from the prompt in gnome-terminal, and just check with "pwd"?
[07:20] <Zuu> voraistos, yep it is
[07:20] <Neo8750> DrZeus: pretty sure but i couldn'[t tell you how
[07:20] <Zuu> all in one burner thingie :)
[07:20] <voraistos> Zuu: for less than 1 pound, i am sure you can get a blank CD somewhere :)
[07:21] <Zuu> voraistos, yeah.. im sure too
[07:21] <voraistos> Zuu, there is the other solution
[07:21] <Zuu> i just felt like wanting to install ubintu right at this wery moment :P
[07:21] <voraistos> Zuu: do u have space to make a partition on your HDD ?
[07:21] <DrZeus> Neo8750: what a pitiy
[07:21] <Neo8750> paients...
[07:22] <ladydoor> [WC] Guard: i don't actually use gnome--i *don't* know how?
[07:22] <Zuu> voraistos, well only by resizing the suse root partition to something smaller, and then creatig a partition from the free space
[07:22] <sonium> can somone tell me how to batch-rename files in a directory
[07:22] <voraistos> Zuu: yeah take 1 gig to be sure
[07:22] <sonium> from 001.jpg to 999.jpg
[07:23] <ladydoor> [WC] Guard: *not actually a question. don't know why the questionmark
[07:23] <DrZeus> **then it is "unknown" how to hide the navigation from the prompt in the gnome-terminal?**
[07:23] <Zuu> voraistos, whats the plane ?
[07:23] <Zuu> *plan
[07:23] <voraistos> Zuu: so we can actually uncompress the cd image from there, and try to boot from it
[07:23] <DrZeus> !gnome-terminal
[07:23] <ubotu> gnome-terminal: The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 165 kB, installed size 396 kB
[07:23] <Zuu> ahh
[07:23] <Zuu> i see
[07:23] <eyequeue> DrZeus, i don't understand your question
[07:23] <Zuu> that would probably work quite fine
[07:23] <ncalpunker> Does anyone run ubuntu with parallels?
[07:23] <voraistos> Zuu: of course this is experimental ;)
[07:24] <jazwec> please could anybody help me with my sound card? i have sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum pro and dont know how to set it up...thanks alot
[07:24] <pty> DrZeus: use zsh instead of bash?
[07:24] <Zuu> voraistos, but i would have to extract the boot sector from the CD to the HD
[07:24] <Zuu> i dunno how to do that
[07:24] <DrZeus> eyequeue: I wanted to know if its possible to hide the actual directory from the prompt, for just having "drzeus@shoetime"
[07:24] <voraistos> Zuu: not sure; for that, we go back to #grub
[07:25] <DrZeus> and check the directory with "pwd"
[07:25] <voraistos> Zuu, they know that kind of stuff
[07:25] <Zuu> hehe
[07:25] <ladydoor> DrZeus: yes, edit your .bashrc
[07:25] <Zuu> yeah
[07:25] <ladydoor> DrZeus: here's what to do
[07:25] <eyequeue> DrZeus, yes
[07:25] <eyequeue> DrZeus, ladydoor knows :)
[07:25] <voraistos> Zuu, if it doesnt boot the "CD", we can ask ubuntu gurus about specific CD bootdector things
[07:25] <ladydoor> eyequeue: lol...maybe. thanks
[07:25] <DrZeus> is it possible keeping bash?
[07:25] <Zuu> hmm..
[07:26] <ladydoor> DrZeus: yup! so first, let's open up your .bashrc. nano -w .bashrc
[07:26] <DrZeus> im all eyes(cuz i dont hear you actually)
[07:26] <DrZeus> ready
[07:26] <jose55> ola
[07:26] <Neo8750> you just need toy use your imagination for voice

[07:26] <jose55> hello
[07:26] <Zuu> voraistos, i am beginning to believe that all in all it would just be better for me to make someone bring a plain CD to me tomorrow
[07:27] <harleypig> I just had to reinstall my system and I'm running into this stoopid black screen on boot up when nvidia is the driver.    I'd rather avoid combing through the forums and google again if I can avoid it ... anyone point me to some fixes?

[07:32] <kyja> yeah.
[07:32] <Daniel^> voraistos: Toshiba Tecra 8000.  Pretty old :)
[07:32] <voraistos> deadlyallance382 You should format with Ext3 to make sure no Microsoft Malware is still present on your HDD
[07:32] <ladydoor> DrZeus: it's "connecting." just a sec
[07:32] <DrZeus> ok
[07:32] <voraistos> Daniel^ are you able to control the fan with windows ?
[07:32] <kyja> I am still searching fro a trick with grub

[07:33] <Daniel^> voraistos: I have no idea.  Anyway,  Im off to a big google adventure
[07:33] <voraistos> deadlyallance382 wahahaha sorry
[07:33] <Daniel^> ah,  thnx tom
[07:33] <deadlyallance382> ladydoor sorry i hit the caps not on purpose
[07:33] <helpmeee> deadlyallance382: well i dont care about ubuntu.. it was the only os install cd i had ...  i installed vista for testing to partition 2.. then found it cool and formatted the first partition. then it told me "no op sys" .. i installed ubuntu on part 1 and beg for help:D
[07:33] <Buzz_Lightyear> Hi ... someone here, who can help me with RT61 chipset ?
[07:33] <DrZeus> ladydoor: I *think* i found it, but not totally sure
[07:34] <ladydoor> deadlyallance382: understandable
[07:34] <toby> anyone know a way  to switch to a specific workspace using CLI?
[07:34] <montytaylor> anybody know what package provides default-splash.xpm.gz
[07:34] <voraistos> Daniel^ there will be o hardware support for it, so no software interface; what you have to do is: -change the fan or  -remove it or -install a variator manually ;)
[07:34] <deadlyallance382> helpmee you will need to fdisk the mbr and do a full format
[07:34] <ladydoor> DrZeus: yeah, ok, actually i'm not able to connect to ubuntu-nl right now. however, there should be a part in there that looks like this:
[07:34] <Rookie-> !rpm
[07:34] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[07:34] <eyequeue> toby, chvt
[07:34] <kyja> oh. well I found a page that lets you copy the minimum required files to get a working linux and then use grub I guess
[07:34] <hegoi> hola
[07:34] <ladydoor> DrZeus: \w\
[07:35] <helpmeee> what about all my stuff.. cant i get my hands on windows partition to get my mp3 and stuff ?
[07:35] <flicovent> !apt
[07:35] <eyequeue> !eow chvt
[07:35] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[07:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eow chvt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:35] <eyequeue> chvt (1)             - change foreground virtual terminal
[07:35] <toby> eyequeue thanks i'll have a look
[07:35] <DrZeus> ladydoor: \w\ ?
[07:35] <Daniel^> voraistos: Thnx for the support.
[07:35] <voraistos> ubotu: we know alien is quite dangerous ! lol u nice bot :)
[07:35] <deadlyallance382> helpmeee the only i have found to duelboot vista and linux "with ease" is to yous hard drive caddys
[07:35] <ladydoor> DrZeus: remove that, save, and then start a new terminal (without closing this one)
[07:35] <DrZeus> ok
[07:36] <helpmeee> i dont even know what a hard drive caddy is :l
[07:36] <hegoi> buenos dias

[07:40] <chillmode> can some one pleas highligt me?
[07:40] <deadlyallance382> helpmee you might also want to check the jumpers on the harddrives to make sure 1 is master and 1 is slave

[07:41] <deadlyallance382> helpmee remember you have to eather do 1 of 2 things ....install vista then install linux and then passwoed protect the grub boot loader or use the caddys because vista will wipe out grub "your boot loader or try to every  time it boots
[07:42] <ladydoor> DrZeus: when you open the new term, try cd'ing to another directory. i noticed that the difference is not considerable unless you're not in your home idr
[07:42] <toby> t<eyequeue> thanks anyhow

[07:42] <deadlyallance382> helpmee do you get what i am saying or do you need more detail

[07:43] <ladydoor> toby: aha. good luck!
[07:44] <DrZeus> ladydoor: really? ask me again plz
[07:44] <kyja> that is an actual cheat code of knoppix so why cant grub do ubuntu via an iso file??

[07:46] <Zuu> kyja, Nice!
[07:46] <ladydoor> DrZeus: sweet. it'll only show up if you start a new terminal or restart bash, keep in mind
[07:46] <voraistos> yeah cheers
[07:46] <deadlyallance382> helpmee you are in a linux channel!
[07:46] <phaedrus44> Tokenbad:     you around?
[07:46] <flicovent> helpmeee: are you sure this is the right channel for you?
[07:46] <Lam_> can i use a wildcard to open all folders in the terminal and remove the same file within each of those folders?
[07:47] <helpmeee> appears so. i was hoping that linux had stuff to reconstruct vista boot
[07:47] <phaedrus44> huh?
[07:47] <helpmeee> cause im using xubuntu right now
[07:47] <DrZeus> ladydoor: its still not doing it
[07:47] <ladydoor> helpmeee: errr...linux isn't windows
[07:47] <deadlyallance382> helpmee you can try ebcd pro but i am not sure if it will help much with vista
[07:47] <phaedrus44> why errr?...   just asking
[07:47] <ladydoor> DrZeus: that's...very strange. would you paste that single line in here please?
[07:47] <Lam_> something like $~/school/work/* | rm education.pdf
[07:47] <we2by> omg, you got Vista already?
[07:48] <Tokenbad> phaedrus44, sorta
[07:48] <phaedrus44> dude
[07:48] <Rug> helpmeee: Vista is in beta-testing mode.  It will screw-up.  You should be prepared to nuke & reinstall
[07:48] <deadlyallance382> ive had vista for 3 years
[07:48] <phaedrus44> can you message me?
[07:48] <helpmeee> rc1 is out.. looked like ok
[07:48] <Rug> rc1 is still BETA
[07:48] <kyja> yeah it may only do knoppix I dont know. knoppix is an awsome distro and there is a way to install it to HD but it is undocumented secret.
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> heh - looks like somthing go avoid like the black plague.
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> :P
[07:48] <kyja> but I love ubuntu
[07:48] <deadlyallance382> rc1 is for amrketing
[07:48] <Zuu> :)
[07:48] <deadlyallance382> markiting
[07:49] <deadlyallance382> eh what ever lol\
[07:49] <ladydoor> Lam_: maybe something like "for dir in ~/school/work ; do cd $dir ; rm -i * ; done"
[07:49] <phaedrus44> kyja:   with ubiquity?
[07:49] <ladydoor> ?
[07:49] <Bonez56> hi all. I have a bluetooth USB key that also includes a 128mb flash disk in one. I just plugged it in and lsusb shows: Ours Technology, Inc. OTI-6828 Flash Disk. Anyone know how I can get the Bluetooth function of it to work? I have no idea where to start. Thanks
[07:49] <Samuli^> Lam_, that command doesn't make much sense to me.
[07:49] <kyja> phaedrus44, ?? ubiquity??
[07:49] <phaedrus44> installing knoppix to hd with ubiquity?
[07:49] <kyja> no
[07:49] <we2by> any one got video working with xgl?
[07:50] <phaedrus44> what is the undocumented seceret?
[07:50] <deadlyallance382> remember when linux ppl say beta they mean it but if ms says it they are just trying to get you to spend money with them next year
[07:50] <Lam_> i'm basically trying to open all directories within one folder and remove a fragrant file with the same name in each directory
[07:50] <kyja> you open a terminal after cd boots. then do if I remember right knoppix_install
[07:50] <kyja> I dod it a few weeks ago
[07:50] <phaedrus44> kyja:   ever use ubiquity?
[07:50] <kyja> but there is some other way also
[07:50] <ladydoor> Lam_: ok, then edit what i said to where it's appropriate i guess
[07:50] <DrZeus> ladydoor: do u want the line pasted here?
[07:50] <phaedrus44> wait i think it was called espresso before
[07:50] <kyja> nomego_, what is that?
[07:51] <kyja> err
[07:51] <ladydoor> DrZeus: no, that's alright. change it to where it says this:
[07:51] <Lam_> ladydoor:  lol thanks a lot
[07:51] <kyja> phaedrus44, explain more please
[07:51] <kyja> ah

[07:51] <ladydoor> wait
[07:51] <ladydoor> no
[07:51] <DrZeus> ok, i wait
[07:51] <phaedrus44> apt-get install ubiguity   then  when its installed   just call it    ubiquity and installs live cd to hd
[07:52] <ladydoor> PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\] \u@\h\[\033\] :\[\033\] \$ '
[07:52] <DrZeus> ok, let me paste
[07:53] <bXi> whats with that prompt?
[07:53] <ladydoor> DrZeus: incidentally, a lot of people say that xchat is better than xchat-gnome
[07:54] <phaedrus44> kyja: apt-get install ubiguity   then  when its installed   just call it    ubiquity and installs live cd to hd

[08:01] <DrZeus> ladydoor: and also in other directories
[08:01] <ladydoor> DrZeus: ah, fair enough.
[08:01] <Bonez56> Kragnerac, no, you have to create a virtual machine. Otherwise you can dual boot?
[08:01] <DrZeus> ladydoor: lol
[08:01] <earthian> erUSUL, like once in a day or so
[08:01] <ladydoor> DrZeus: well, sweet. enjoy your new prompt :-)
[08:01] <ladydoor> silent_scream: here's a better idea :-)

[08:01] <nat_> how to burn copy dvds with ubuntu ?
[08:01] <Limewood> =Tumaini
[08:02] <ladydoor> silent_scream: where are these .exe's?
[08:02] <Limewood> phaedrus44: I use Win XP.
[08:02] <jbroome> that's great we2by , but we don't care
[08:02] <silent_scream> on desktop i.e.
[08:02] <erUSUL> earthian: did you change anything in the xorg configuration recently?
[08:02] <Limewood> Should I get the i386 download for an Intel celeron?
[08:02] <earthian> i reinstalled all xorg just yesterday
[08:02] <Kragnerac> Bonez56: Meh, I'm looking for a way to use my existing Windows partition in Ubuntu like Parallels. Is there any way to do in that method?
[08:02] <nat_> Limewood, yes
[08:02] <Limewood> Thanks.
[08:02] <we2by> jbroome, u just did
[08:02] <we2by> because you replied :P
[08:02] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow: Thx for the flash fix earlier :) .... I was wondering if Firefox was using the new version of flash or the old one as it installed the flash plugin to my home .mozilla directory
[08:03] <nickspoon> Limewood: i386 yes, unless it's a 64-bit celeron and you don't mind having no Flash.
[08:03] <Bonez56> Kragnerac, do you want to just access the files on your windows partition, or do you actually want to boot windows and run programs?
[08:03] <ladydoor> silent_scream: ok, let's open up a terminal. then move the .exe's to an out-of-the-way place so they won't clutter up your desktop (but what we're about to do can be located there)
[08:03] <flicovent> a_l_e: are you back yet please? Sorry, my friend (laddercoins) can be more specific about the problem with the G3.
[08:03] <erUSUL> we2by: please avoid the use of such scripts around here this is a very busy channel and it will be a pain if everybody did the same. Thanks ;)
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Sorry guys had to answer the door....
[08:03] <earthian> erUSUL, that i think is not the case... the 100% cpu usage started ~75 minutes ago when i was not on my computer... maybe a screensaver did something?
[08:03] <Kragnerac> Bonez56: I would like to boot Windows in Ubuntu.
[08:03] <nat_> noone burns dvds with ubuntu ?
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: no idea.. does it work?
[08:03] <Angeltronix> Limewood: yes, the i386 kernel should work on any 32-bit intel or amd processor
[08:03] <silent_scream> ok ladydoor i'm with you
[08:04] <Paddy_EIRE> seems to work just fine :)
[08:04] <Bonez56> Kragnerac, then you will need to use VMWare
[08:04] <we2by> np :)
[08:04] <erUSUL> earthian: i do not know what can it be, sorry. btw why did you reinstaled X
[08:04] <erUSUL> ?
[08:04] <ladydoor> silent_scream: sweet. did you just open the terminal, or did you move the .exe's somewhere else already?
[08:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: What does windows show as the name of the windows partition.. ANy funny characters there?
[08:04] <nat_> pls what do i use to burn dvds ?
[08:04] <earthian> because of lost /boot partition few days ago then i reinstalled kernels.... its a long story :)
[08:04] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: Screenshot: http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1354/screenshotgn7.png
[08:04] <DrZeus> ladydoor: thnx for the help
[08:04] <Jack_Sparrow> nat_: k3b
[08:04] <ladydoor> DrZeus: np
[08:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !k3b
[08:04] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[08:04] <silent_scream> it's ok ladydoor there are now in /home/silent folder
[08:04] <Rondom> nat_: k3b
 still just having difficulty with why it chooses .mozilla as the default and not .firefox??? weird one huh
[08:05] <nat_> aight thankie
[08:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: I saw that but what is the name as windows sees it.. and can you read it in linux ok or not?
[08:05] <ladydoor> silent_scream: cool. ok, now cd into your desktop and do nano -w whatever-one-of-the-exes-was-called-minus-the-exe
[08:05] <ladydoor> lol
[08:06] <bulldog_> Afternoon, I am having trouble printing from a HP Laserjet 5n, cups, gimp-print and hplib toolbox are installed but the job just hangs in pending forever without reaching the printer
[08:06] <silent_scream> nano=gedit also isuppose?
[08:06] <ladydoor> silent_scream: and it helps if you say my nick at the beginning of whatever you say to me. errr, i guess you can use gedit. whatever you're comfortable with
[08:06] <Lam_> silent_scream: nano is like gedit except it can run in a command line based environment
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gksudo gedit
[08:07] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: not in this case, but thank you
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[08:07] <earthian> ok reloading my Xorg :/
[08:07] <ladydoor> silent_scream: so let me know when you're ready to continue
[08:07] <earthian> no help this time... will be waiting for a new version maybe?
[08:08] <silent_scream> ladydoor, ok i'm ready
[08:08] <earthian> bye and thanks
[08:08] <ladydoor> silent_scream: ok. just a sec
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: I must ask... Have you run scripts like Automatix, (NOT recommending that you do.) to install anything?
[08:08] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I can see the files in Linux. Is Windows supposed to show another name than the drive letter for it's partition (other than C:\ in my case)?
[08:09] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: Nope. I just installed Ubuntu a few minutes ago.
[08:09] <Lam_> ladydoor:  for dir in /media/hdb1/images/ ; do cd $dir ; rm "Thumbs.db" ; done   ---->  cannot remove. cannot find file/directory "Thumbs.db"
[08:09] <silent_scream> ladydoor, for example nano -w utorrent.exe right?
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: Windows explorer usually shows a name as well
[08:09] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: It says "Local Disk".
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: An odd character in the Windows name might account for the funny name you see.
[08:09] <ladydoor> silent_scream: right, but without the .exe. and make sure you're in your Desktop dir
[08:10] <Kragnerac> Jack_Sparrow: Hmm. Hold on a second.
[08:10] <flamesro1k> anyone know which network character encoding I can use to get special portuguese letter characters for writing them to a ntfs window share?
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Kragnerac: NExt time you are in windows use windows explorer, right click the C drive and left click properties and see what the name is..
[08:11] <ladydoor> silent_scream: and then do this:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24264
[08:11] <silent_scream> ok ladydoor  i see an empty file
[08:11] <dougalater> got a seaquest harddrive from a friend now when i try to browse my slave i get this"You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "disks-conf-hdb1".
[08:11] <ladydoor> silent_scream: yup! that's what you should see
[08:11] <Blissex> flamesro1k: usually UTF-8
[08:11] <XeruX> So, I followed this guide on the ubuntu wiki on how to install and set XGL up.. however, when I log in and enter gnome I have no window borders.... ?
[08:11] <ladydoor> silent_scream: what you're doing is creating a launcher on your desktop
[08:11] <Xtremer> hi everybody :)
[08:11] <dougalater> hola
[08:11] <eyequeue> XeruX, /join #ubuntu-xgl

[08:15] <silent_scream> ladydoor, so i save this and...

[08:15] <laddercoins_> JAnderson: It's probably system-related; I can't even get past the syntax myself!
[08:15] <variant> ubunter: you mean macromedia flash?
[08:15] <ladydoor> silent_scream: and it should show up on your desktop. there's one more thing to do, though.

[08:19] <hawaisurf> Jack_Sparrow: how? with a disk formating all the hardrive
