[12:09] <Nahkiss> to be honest, you could just sell the 40gb drive or something :P isn't 300gb enought :P

[12:09] <superkirbyartist> I have problems with PPP.

[12:09] <ubotu> ppp: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon. In component main, is standard. Version 2.4.4b1-1ubuntu3.1 (dapper), package size 314 kB, installed size 1000 kB
[12:09] <webben> okami: Ah... thanks for the report :)

[12:10] <haappers> the old ide cables are shit compared to sata
[12:11] <cpk2> Nahkiss: eventually i will get rid of the 40gig but right now I am tight on space hehe
[12:11] <superkirbyartist> I need help with PPP: cannot access internet.
[12:12] <haappers> cpk2: use it as backup space?
[12:13] <haappers> put all of your napster porn on it
[12:13] <sethk> infidel, if you mean that you need to create a virtual domain for apache, it's a bit tricky, but the comments in the httpd.conf file should help you.
[12:13] <sethk> infidel, I'm off for work, I'll try and get onto here when I get there.
[12:13] <haappers> cause i know you dont have that much text data
[12:14] <mneptok> actually, vhosts are no longer defined in httpd.conf
[12:14] <cpk2> haappers: i do have 100gigs of video though...
[12:14] <superkirbyartist> I need help with PPP.  Cannot access PPP.  This is important!
[12:14] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: let me guess. Winmodem?
[12:14] <superkirbyartist> Yes.  Connexant.  Modem works.
[12:14] <haappers> cp2k: bingo
[12:14] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: how do you know the modem works?
[12:15] <superkirbyartist> It dials the number, UN sent, PW sent, welcome message received, ip/dns received.
[12:15] <haappers> back in the old days we had 500mb HDD and it was great
[12:15] <mneptok> so then what is the problem?
[12:16] <superkirbyartist> mneptok: Firefox/Gaim does not work.

[12:17] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> ok ok i m leaving. will the guys there answer? or can u suggest some otehr channel?
[12:17] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: if PPP was the problem, you would not connect, not login, get no DHCP info, etc.
[12:17] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: can you ping hosts by IP? do name lookups?
[12:17] <superkirbyartist> Right.
[12:18] <superkirbyartist> I can ping 6...
[12:18] <superkirbyartist> 6x.x.xx.x?
[12:18] <superkirbyartist> Not sure but it works.
[12:18] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:19] <mneptok> does Firefox load that page?
[12:19] <superkirbyartist> Lesee...
[12:19] <superkirbyartist> Dial-up is on other PC.
[12:19] <haappers> what was the off channel again?
[12:20] <MustDo> peope has everyone got a nvidia tnt2 riva? i would like to know what drivers  to install?!

[12:22] <rofl-face> I almost had soulseek working on wine.
[12:22] <rofl-face> Dangit
[12:24] <superkirbyartist> YES!  IT WORKS!  THANK YOU!
[12:24] <superkirbyartist> (Caps used to represent excitement)
[12:24] <oga> hey all i'm not sure what i've done but i've somehow destroyed my sound (and everything was working so well....) is there a way to debug sound problems
[12:24] <oga> i recently installed a couple of extra codecs to try and get quicktime files to play
[12:25] <rofl-face> REINSTALL EVERYTHING. Ok, maybe not.
[12:25] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: so it works by IP address and not name. so they problem you have is DNS. talk to your ISP>
[12:25] <rofl-face> I reinstalled ubuntu 3 times yesterday.
[12:25] <oga> and also installed ipodder & xine,
[12:26] <rofl-face> also winamp for wine doesn't work. I tried it like 90 times.
[12:26] <mneptok> just. use. Rhythmbox.
[12:26] <mneptok> or Amarok. or Banshee.
[12:27] <okami> or xmms
[12:27] <rofl-face> wine=windows
[12:27] <mneptok> and Xine, XMMS, Totem, or mplayer.
[12:27] <rofl-face> i use xmms in ubuntu
[12:27] <rofl-face> i <3 xmms
[12:27] <oga> mneptok i've tried xmms, xine & totem (everything was working earlier today) and i'm not sure what i've done to break it.
[12:27] <gokhan_> how install this compiz http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42786
[12:28] <mneptok> oga: have you checked the ALSA mixers and whatnot?
[12:28] <rofl-face> man if i could refind what i found earlier people with esd AND alsa would feel happy.
[12:29] <gokhan_> how install this compiz http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42786 ??
[12:29] <pwk> i would of ran ubntu as main os if it supported all my stuff
[12:29] <oga> mneptok nope, where are they (or if that is just looking at the volume control panel then yes i have)
[12:30] <rofl-face> I can listen to music and play youtube videos at the same time so far.
[12:30] <oga> i'm rebooting.... maybe i've found the problem
[12:30] <rofl-face> let's just hope it stays that way.
[12:30] <pwk> guess i'm just a windows user
[12:30] <pwk> {{ gHg t  }}
[12:31] <rofl-face> I'd like to have Windows again someday, but this has to do for now.
[12:31] <pwk> too bad all software is windows
[12:31] <rofl-face> That's the thing that sucks.
[12:31] <pwk> i'm in windows vista, and its a big improvement
[12:31] <rofl-face> like i love mirc.
[12:31] <rofl-face> but i have to use wine in order to get mirc to work.
[12:31] <mneptok> pwk: "all software?"
[12:32] <pwk> like software that don't work in wine
[12:32] <rofl-face> soulseek doesn't work.
[12:32] <rofl-face> I just tried it :(
[12:32] <mneptok> pwk: OSX does not work in WINE
[12:32] <Shish> people actually use mirc after they've tried an alternative o_O? (This assumes you did try the native clients first...)
[12:32] <superkirbyartist> Only Google works... :-(
[12:32] <mneptok> OSX does not work in Windows.
[12:32] <rofl-face> Yah, I don't know it's ugly looking Shish but it's...well..
[12:33] <rofl-face> It's hard to explain.
[12:33] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: contact your ISP. you have DNS issues.
[12:33] <pwk> i tired osx beofe, it was ok
[12:33] <rofl-face> Hahaha
[12:33] <superkirbyartist> I can always try other IPs
[12:33] <rofl-face> Alright for getting ignored!
[12:33] <Bazzi_> Shish: There are weird people indeed
[12:33] <mneptok> mIRC is to IRC clients what the Yugo was to cars/
[12:33] <pwk> did somebody just ignore me ?
[12:33] <matahari> hi
[12:33] <mneptok> pwk: if so, how would they answer?
[12:34] <rofl-face> Eh doesn't matter to me.
[12:34] <pwk> {{ gHg t  }}
[12:34] <rofl-face> I like it.
[12:34] <okami> lol @ mneptok
[12:34] <rofl-face> I think I just got ignored.
[12:34] <rofl-face> Cause I <3 mIRC
[12:34] <superkirbyartist> mneptok: I will be back.
[12:34] <matahari> i just can't log in via ssh in my ubuntu box.... i edited the sshd_config and set everything i know that is needed to authenticate via password, but it always complains by"Permission denied, try again"
[12:35] <rofl-face> But wine is pretty cool.
[12:35] <pwk> if i knew my angel tv tuner card work in ubntu
[12:35] <mneptok> matahari: sshd_config needs no editing
[12:35] <rofl-face> Hey I didn't expect my sound to work at all and look at me now!
[12:35] <rofl-face> Windows didn't like my onboard soundcard or something, so it wouldn't play sound at all.
[12:35] <matahari> mneptok: when i don't edit this file it won't conect too
[12:35] <mneptok> rofl-face: yeah, look at you. you get into another OS and promptly start trying to make it into Windows.  Laptop is a Samsung Q35, does anyone have any ideas?
[12:36] <pwk> when i restart and bootup to xp, i'll use vmware
[12:37] <pwk> and if everything goes well.. i'll hvae main os
[12:37] <rofl-face> Actually I installed ubuntu on a whim.
[12:37] <mneptok> okami: root has no password in Ubuntu. therefore root cannot login locally OR via ssh/
[12:37] <snowblink> Astinus, /j #ubuntu+1
[12:37] <pwk> whats "whim"?
[12:37] <Rambo3> Astinus: WEP WAP
[12:37] <rofl-face> Whim as in my XP disc got messed up.
[12:37] <okami> mneptok: o-tay
[12:37] <rofl-face> Needed an os for this computer.
[12:37] <balor>  /j #ubuntu+1
[12:37] <rofl-face> Decided to give this a try.
[12:37] <pwk> Cool
[12:37] <superkirbyartist> mneptok: Neopets works with magic number.
[12:37] <Astinus> snowblink: Thank you.
[12:38] <pwk> i've had ubntu on my mind last days
[12:38] <Astinus> /win 22
[12:38] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: the fact remains that you have a DNS issue
[12:38] <Astinus> Erk :/
[12:38] <pwk> ubntuntu suppose to be easiest to leanr i guess
[12:38] <rofl-face> Someone mentioned to me to try my soundcard on Ubuntu
[12:38] <matahari> say, what could be the reason why i can't login via ssh
[12:38] <rofl-face> Because it wasn't working in Windows
[12:38] <superkirbyartist> Heck, all sites work with magic numbers.  Letters do not.  How do I fix DNS issue?  What do I tell ISP?
[12:38] <rofl-face> So I kinda had ubuntu on my mind.
[12:38] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: you can test this site and that site and however many you want. but you still cannot conenct to some servers by name, but can do so via raw IP. that's DNS.
[12:38] <andybalaam> matahari: what error message are you seeing?
[12:39] <pwk> e ack ater
[12:39] <matahari> permission denied please try again
[12:39] <rofl-face> 3 is the magic number.
[12:39] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: you tell them that their DHCP server is not properly assigning DNS servers when it gives out leases.
[12:39] <superkirbyartist> Okay.
[12:39] <rofl-face> Has anyone tried Wine? What did they get to work with it?
[12:39] <andybalaam> matahari: are you behind a firewall at either end?
[12:39] <oga> hey all thanks for the help (and suggesting all the alternative music players) but somehow the pcm level got muted (i have not idea how) it's all good now
[12:39] <rofl-face> So far my list is not work: Soulseek
[12:39] <superkirbyartist> Thanks a lot man!  I can at least (partly) access the web!
[12:40] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: np. that's why they pay me. :)
[12:40] <Rambo3> oga search allsa gui mixer
[12:40] <Rambo3> alsa
[12:40] <superkirbyartist> You're paid for free help !?
[12:40] <refuze> hey i am trying to unextract a RAR archive that has folders in hebrew and i get an error message that it cannot create the folders
[12:40] <rofl-face> gui mixer eh?
[12:40] <okami> superkirby: do you have any entries in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[12:40] <rofl-face> what's that suppose to do?
[12:40] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: who says my help is free? ;)
[12:40] <rofl-face> is that a graphical alsa mixer?
[12:40] <andybalaam> matahari: are you behind a firewall at either end?
[12:40] <superkirbyartist> It's IRC.
[12:40] <superkirbyartist> IRC = free.
[12:41] <mneptok> superkirbyartist: but my desk and the Canonical support queue and Launchpad and and and ... are not. :)
[12:41] <andybalaam> matahari: what exact command are you typing, and what exact error are you seeing? (Select text to copy and middle-click to paste into chat)
[12:41] <rofl-face> Maybe Rambo DID ignore me.
[12:41] <superkirbyartist> Okay.  Well simply thank you.
[12:41] <rofl-face> All because of my love for the dear and wonderful mIRC.
[12:41] <mneptok> oh, another Canuckian
[12:41] <okami> < thinks same as mneptok
[12:42] <Rambo3> oga or you can use alsamixer from command line
[12:42] <Rambo3> i cant find gui in repos
[12:42] <matahari> andybalaam: cop and paste doesn't work - this is another box
[12:42] <pebblestone> Hi I need help. I accidently deleted /etc/mysql. and now I couldn't even reinstall it. Aptitude report that the configuration file my.cnf debian.cnf and debian-start are missing. What should I do to recover from it?
[12:42] <rofl-face> i should probably update my wine stuff.
[12:42] <matahari> i used the command ssh localhost -lmatahari
[12:42] <andybalaam> matahari: ok, type in the command you used
[12:42] <oga> Rambo3 don't worry bout me i've got it under control i'm listening to wolfmother right now (they are the shit by the way)
[12:42] <andybalaam> matahari: (obviously leave out passwords)
[12:42] <higen> hmm.. i have some problems with startup of my computer after moving /var to another partition then the root partition.. it seems that the partition with /var get mounted later then certan scripts that runs
[12:43] <matahari> and got an permission denied, pelase try again
[12:43] <mneptok> higen: fstab
[12:43] <okami> I don't envy superkirby talking to sympatico tech support... you say linux and they tune out
[12:43] <mneptok> okami: that's why i use a different ISP with my bell.ca DSL service ;)
[12:43] <higen> mneptok: is the fstab mounted sequencal?
[12:43] <andybalaam> matahari: is the ssh service running?
[12:44] <mneptok> higen: usually, yes
[12:44] <rofl-face> Ok me not need a 6am bedtime
[12:44] <mneptok> higen: on-channel, please
[12:44] <andybalaam> matahari: did you get this? "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused"
[12:44] <matahari> ssh is running
[12:44] <matahari> the error you mentioned doesn't occur
[12:44] <andybalaam> matahari: so it literally just says "permission denied" ?
[12:44] <higen> sure
[12:45] <mneptok> matahari: please e-mail your sshd_config to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:45] <matahari> yes
[12:45] <andybalaam> matahari: weird
[12:45] <matahari> can i paste it too?
[12:45] <mneptok> please do not
[12:45] <higen> okay.. the thing is.. that the network-loopback interface having problem comming up..
[12:45] <matahari> i mean it pastebin
[12:45] <higen> i guess its due to non-access to /var
[12:45] <mneptok> sure, if you want
[12:45] <andybalaam> matahari: go for it
[12:45] <okami> matahari: have you made any changes to /etc/hosts.{allow/deny} ?
[12:46] <matahari> no, no changes
[12:46] <mneptok> higen: you'll want to explicitly state ext3 as type for /home and /var
[12:46] <okami> ok. so it's not that then
[12:47] <higen> mneptok: even its a bind?
[12:47] <matahari> www.phpfi.com/158418
[12:47] <mneptok> higen: you should probably put /usr in pass 0, too
[12:47] <okami> does sudo lsof -i show sshd listening on port 22/tcp
[12:47] <higen> ok.. i guess thats the issue then
[12:48] <matahari> yes
[12:48] <andybalaam> matahari: what happens if you do "telnet localhost 22" ?
[12:48] <mneptok> matahari: remove the last line from sshd_config
[12:48] <okami> matahari: are you using a firewall? like firestarter?
[12:48] <andybalaam> mneptok: well spotted
[12:49] <matahari> andybalaam: name or service not known
[12:49] <matahari> okami: no
[12:49] <matahari> mneptok: ok
[12:49] <okami> hmm...
[12:50] <mneptok> matahari: aslo comment out "PasswordAuthentication yes"
[12:50] <mneptok> *also
[12:50] <matahari> now irt works
[12:50] <matahari> thanks
[12:50] <mneptok> np
[12:50] <andybalaam> matahari: cool!
[12:50] <termos> i have two soundcards, one live! and an on-board intel one but none of them seem to play any sound, i've set the live one to default card in ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf but it doesn't seem to help
[12:51] <matahari> why does the AllowUsers directive block them?
[12:51] <andybalaam> Does anyone have any idea why the kernel does not seem to see my DVB card?
[12:52] <higen> mneptok: thanks, the pass 2 to 0 was the magic.. i see now why :P  i have been staring my eyes blind on that file for days
[12:52] <andybalaam> matahari: I think it means "only allow these users"
[12:52] <mneptok> higen: glad it works :)
[12:52] <matahari> but i logged in as one of these users
[12:52] <matahari> strange :-/
[12:53] <mneptok> matahari: AllowUsers is for PAM authentication, which you are not doing.
[12:53] <mneptok> matahari: so what you basically told sshd was "allow these users to connect via PAM, disallow everyone else, and PAM is not setup"
[12:53] <matahari> oh, that's the key
[12:53] <mneptok> which, in effect, blackos everyone.
[12:53] <matahari> thanks
[12:53] <mneptok> *blackholes
[12:54] <mneptok> can i interest anyone in an official Canonical support contract? :D
[12:56] <znull> heya if I upgrade my dapper to edgy  (i got ati 9200) I will still have 3d acc.?
[12:56] <matahari> i have another ssh issue
[12:57] <tritium> znull: yes.  edgy questions really belong in #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <znull> oh ok thanks
[12:57] <matahari> how can i copy a file via scp that is only readbe for root..... scp root@host won't work i suppose
[12:57] <matahari> sudo scp doesn't have any effect on the remote host
[12:58] <okami> znull: add the following to the end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:58] <okami> Section "Extensions"
[12:58] <okami>         Option      "Composite" "0"
[12:58] <okami> EndSection
[12:58] <avr_freak> Can anyone help me how to install Ubuntu in Old PC (PIII 800Mhz) with Ati Graphics Card (8MB) ?
[12:59] <Rambo3> avr_freak: same way you would install on normal PC
[12:59] <kzm> avr_freak, I tried the boot CD on an old PC with too little RAM (64Mb?)  That didn't work too good.
[12:59] <kzm> of course, it could be the 1x CD player that was the bottleneck :-)
[12:59] <znull> okami: whats that? to work my drivers on edgy?
[01:00] <avr_freak> i have problem with ATI i guess ...
[01:00] <okami> znull: without it, you'll lose your 3d acc.
[01:00] <znull> okami: but fglrx works with xorg 7.1?
[01:00] <mneptok> znull: i would stick with Dapper for now
[01:01] <mneptok> unless you like downloading 150-250MB of updates daily.
[01:01] <znull> mneptok: then how do I update just gnome?
[01:01] <kzm> Is there a repository for more updated packages?  (I'm getting tired of installing tar.gz snapshots all the time)
[01:01] <okami> znull: Yes but xorg in edgy defaults to composite enabled, fglrx doesn't support it
[01:01] <kzm> Perhaps I can compile sources from Debian unstable or something...
[01:02] <MustDo> !nvidia
[01:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:02] <frogzoo> !easysources
[01:02] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:02] <mneptok> znull: you can't wait a couple weeks?
[01:02] <frogzoo> !easysources > kzm
[01:02] <znull> okami: then with that line is going to work my edgy? cuz last time it didn't worked when I upgrade to egdy..
[01:03] <znull> mneptok: no:P i want new gnome usplash +kernel:D
[01:03] <mneptok> ugh. i don;t like the edgy+1 codename. :(
[01:03] <warlock> How to set the dir /home/users/ so all files in that dir is owned by "sbnc" ?
[01:03] <okami> znull: should do. It's the one problem that got me for a hour or so
[01:03] <mneptok> znull: uhhh .... GNOME doesn;t provide a kernel.
[01:03] <znull> mneptok: i know that
[01:04] <mneptok> warlock: sudo chown -R sbnc:sbnc /home/users
[01:04] <abortd> !widget
[01:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widget - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:04] <znull> mneptok: i said that I want that packages.. gnome/kernel/usplash/ and new init script that I've read
[01:06] <andybalaam> Does anyone have any idea why the kernel does not seem to see my DVB card?
[01:06] <andybalaam>  /dev/video0 does not exist
[01:06] <andybalaam> not mentioned in dmesg
[01:07] <andybalaam> But apparently it's supported Hauppauge Win-TV (NOVA-t)
[01:08] <andybalaam> lspci gives its chipset as "Phillips Semiconductors SAA7146"
[01:10] <Rambo3> mythtv wiki has something about those cards on ubuntu
[01:10] <Rambo3> !mythtv
[01:10] <ubotu> mythtv is for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/

[01:11] <godfather> hy guys
[01:11] <godfather> i need a programme to burn cd mp3 dvd and so on like neroburning runningon windows
[01:12] <Rambo3> To use a Hauppauge TV capture card you will need to install the ivtv driver and card firmware. Ivtv is not yet available as a package, so install it from source.
[01:12] <Rambo3> [edit]
[01:12] <sonium> does someone use nessus here?
[01:12] <sonium> my frontend always crashes on login
[01:12] <KenSentMe> What client do you people use to download podcasts?
[01:12] <sonium> is this normal?
[01:12] <Rambo3> andybalaam: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation
[01:12] <okami> KenSentMe: CastPodder
[01:12] <sonium> oh... it doesn't crash... just needs some time to log in
[01:13] <godfather> is there anyprogramme like neroburning running on linuxu with gnome?
[01:13] <andybalaam> Rambo3: thanks, I'll take a look
[01:13] <KenSentMe> okami: which version?
[01:13] <mneptok> ok, i'm off for my weekend
[01:13] <KenSentMe> mneptok: have a nice weekend then
[01:14] <ieldib> hey everybody
[01:14] <okami> KenSentMe: 5.1-2
[01:14] <npster> What is another program like Picasa for Linux. I am having problems with Picasa with PTP.
[01:14] <ieldib> can anyone help me get my ipw3945 wlan working ?
[01:14] <andybalaam> Rambo3: Isn't IVTV for analogue cards?
[01:14] <KenSentMe> okami: did you use the deb download from the castpodder website, because the program doesn't run here
[01:14] <andybalaam> mneptok: have a good one!
[01:14] <ieldib> anyone ?
[01:15] <ponsfrilus> npster: digikam, f-spot, gqview, gthumb, jbrout, gwenview
[01:15] <godfather> please help
[01:15] <npster> I just used gthumb and it says this: PTP Protocol error, response expected
[01:15] <godfather> i need a programme to burn everything cd dvd and so on
[01:15] <ponsfrilus> http://mapivi.sourceforge.net/mapivi.shtml#download
[01:15] <ieldib> anyone ?
[01:15] <godfather> please give me a trick
[01:16] <okami> KenSentMe: Well sort of, I installed ipodder first to get all the dependancies then uninstalled ipodder and installed castpodder
[01:16] <Janchi> @ieldib, what is wrong withit
[01:16] <KenSentMe> okami: ah, ok
[01:16] <Janchi> Did you do a google for it already?
[01:16] <okami> KenSentMe: :-) I found ipodder to be buggy and it's not supported anymore
[01:16] <npster> I am using a Sony DSC Cyber-Shot S90
[01:17] <andybalaam> Rambo3: Isn't IVTV for analogue cards?
[01:17] <Arcainus> hi there
[01:17] <KenSentMe> okami: i used it too, but now i'm looking for something else
[01:17] <Arcainus> im having an issue with hardware raid 1
[01:17] <godfather> anyone that burns dvd and cd?
[01:17] <Arcainus> i setup raid 1 in the bios
[01:17] <Rambo3> andybalaam: i have no idea , search ubuntuforums for your card and wiki
[01:17] <npster> come on
[01:18] <okami> KenSentMe: Castpodder and Ipodder are virtually identical
[01:18] <Janchi> godfather, I use K3B, works like a charm
[01:18] <andybalaam> Rambo3: OK, thanks - I have done that, but I'll keep trying
[01:18] <KenSentMe> okami: did you install the beep media player too?
[01:18] <Arcainus> and im trying to install ubuntu server and at the partition screens it doesnt show the two disks i setup as raid 1 as one disk but 2 dicks
[01:18] <godfather> yes but i have gnome
[01:18] <ieldib> anyone ?
[01:18] <zappe> how do i block a domian to send mail to me? like blabla.com (in exim)
[01:18] <godfather> i could have some problems with k3b
[01:19] <okami> KenSentMe: No, but then again I load all my cast's onto my iaudio X5 to listen to them
[01:19] <Janchi> godfather, shouldn't be a problem. I used Synaptic to install it. I use it under Gnome without a glitch
[01:19] <jman8888> ?
[01:19] <KenSentMe> okami: do you ever listen to the LugRadio by chance? I had a problem with the file extensions of the downloads with ipodder
[01:20] <Arcainus> doe sanyone have any idea?
[01:20] <jman8888> Hey what should i do. Im installing Ubuntu on a laptop and Although its a supported wireless card(And it even says it in the ubuntu site and it should be autodetected) but in a text install it wasnt detected.
[01:20] <Janchi> godfather, did you check the regular install possibilities. There should be something like Gnomeburner
[01:20] <godfather> ok janchi
[01:20] <okami> KenSentME: Yes, I love LugRadio... I did have that problem with season 3, but season 4 seems to have fixed the problem
[01:20] <godfather> tahnk you
[01:21] <edgy> Hi, I did sudo a2enmod expires to enable the expires module but /usr/sbin/apache2 -l doesn't list it, why?
[01:21] <okami> KenSentMe: Beard and Chin :-)
[01:21] <Juhaz> npster, you should be able to set it to usb mass storage mode if ptp doesn't work
[01:22] <jman8888> Did anybody see my problem?
[01:22] <godfather> good bye
[01:22] <godfather> may the force be with you
[01:22] <Juhaz> npster, or perhaps from normal to ptp, or something, anyway check the in-camera menus
[01:22] <ieldib> can anyone help me get my ipw3945 wlan up and going ?
[01:22] <cpk2> guys i am trying to manually edit my sata drives partition on the livecd but when i go to select it the gui goes blank and i have to click the "back" button
[01:22] <ieldib> please
[01:23] <Janchi> @ ieldib, just tell us what is wrong and what you did to solve the issue already
[01:24] <ieldib> well i have tried automatix (Becuase i've read on the forums that after the install it will automatically install the drivers and all would be fine after a reboot)
[01:24] <ieldib> I have also gone into network/admin
[01:24] <ieldib> and seen that it is already sniffing out  networks
[01:24] <ieldib> (because SSID's are already stored in their)
[01:24] <ieldib> i selected my wlan
[01:24] <cpk2> i still have 50 megs on /dev/hda and am considering partitioning that as /home and then partitioning my sata later as /home is this a viable solution?
[01:24] <ieldib> put in my wep key
[01:24] <ieldib> and nothing
[01:25] <variant> ieldib: automatix is good for borking systems
[01:25] <ieldib> lol
[01:25] <ieldib> variant: i was told to install network-manager
[01:25] <ieldib> that is done
[01:25] <ieldib> except no wlan shows up in network manager
[01:26] <jman8888> hello. Can anybody tell me why my supported wirelesscard (DWL-650) Wasnt detected during install?) And how to set it up.
[01:26] <ieldib> jman8888 i'am going through a similar issue
[01:27] <ieldib> everything else is running beautifully
[01:27] <ieldib> anyone ?
[01:28] <jazzrocker> jman8888, is that a PCI wireless?
[01:28] <jman8888> jazzrocker, ?
[01:28] <jazzrocker> jman8888, is it a laptop
[01:28] <jman8888> jazzrocker, yes
[01:30] <mike1> hey how to configure my notebook to not be seen/logged on a wireless network
[01:31] <jman8888> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported <--Says it works completely out of the box. All yes's
[01:31] <jman8888> jazzrocker, So will that laptop have no internet?
[01:31] <ieldib> brb think i got it up
[01:32] <papa> cuthuan
[01:32] <mike1> no I'm just looking at not being seen (I don'[t want to pop up in someone's network folder
[01:32] <mike1> At home I share everything on the computer behind the router
[01:33] <mike1> I want to be as close to invisable as possible
[01:33] <mike1> when I'm out
[01:33] <mrDaniel_> I want to print a pdf with 'lp' in a file and not with a normal physical printer
[01:33] <mike1> really when I'm on some free wifi network or using a neigbors
[01:33] <mrDaniel_> what I have to do, so I can print in a file with lp?
[01:34] <mrDaniel_> or isn't this possible?
[01:34] <mrDaniel_> when not: how I can set a new printer under ubuntu, which automatically prints in a file?
[01:34] <mcphail> mrDaniel_: why not just use pdftoppm?
[01:35] <mrDaniel_> pdftoppm? never heard this command
[01:35] <mrDaniel_> mcphail: thank you, i will now read the man-pages a check what this command is god for
[01:39] <jman8888> A lot of people are quitting...
[01:40] <elias_> Concerning the topic of ubuntu+1: Edgy is not ment to be used on production machines ever or just not before it's final release?
[01:41] <rysiek|pl> hi guys
[01:41] <rysiek|pl> suppose I've made a mistake and installed ubuntu 6.06 32bit edition on my 64bit system
[01:41] <nickspoon> doesn't really matter.
[01:42] <rysiek|pl> is there a way of - say - upgrading(?) to 64bit without reinstallation?
[01:42] <edgy> elias_: I guess not before the final release
[01:42] <nickspoon> I prefer running 32-bit for stuff like Flash and w32codecs.
[01:42] <jbleau> Does anybody know why ever since I installed edgy I can't download new packages with the add / remove? It simply hangs on "Downloading..." and never seems to make a connection.
[01:42] <jbleau> Wait!
[01:42] <jbleau> Nevermind.
[01:43] <avr_freak> Anyone to help me with Ati rage in Ubuntu ... I can't run startx ! Please in private ... Tnks
[01:43] <rysiek|pl> nickspoon: yeah, I know, but just assume I'm not interested in w32codecs and flash, but need the full 64bits working
[01:43] <rysiek|pl> so is there a way of "switching"?
[01:43] <nickspoon> rysiek|pl: no.
[01:44] <nickspoon> simple, eh?
[01:44] <nickspoon> you'd have to pretty much reinstall every package on your whole system.
[01:44] <nickspoon> so it's much easier just to download the 64-bit CD.
[01:44] <rysiek|pl> nickspoon: yeah, I know that. I was just wandering, if it's possible to mangle with sources list and do it automagically through apt
[01:45] <nickspoon> doubt it.
[01:45] <rysiek|pl> darn
[01:45] <rysiek|pl> ok, anyways - thanks
[01:47] <wwwdotcom> Does anyone know how to eject a cd from a g3 powerpc?
[01:47] <nickspoon> isn't there a button?
[01:48] <nickspoon> or just right-click on the CD icon and click Eject.
[01:48] <wwwdotcom> I see no obvious button
[01:48] <wwwdotcom> nickspoon, I can't, I have installed ubuntu, so it has to reboot, but when it does it goes to cd instead
[01:48] <wwwdotcom> and tries to reinstall
[01:49] <nickspoon> I'm fairly sure there's an Eject CD button on the keyboard.#
[01:49] <jouke> Hey, I am trying to install the adobe acrobat pdf reader. The install went fine, but now it crashes with the following error: "(acroread:13462): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (1000)" maybe it has something to do with our ldap account system?
[01:50] <sam_k> Whats the best torrent client for ubuntu?
[01:50] <ghost> hello, i have (only) SATA HD and a normal CD/DVDrom drive, should i plug the CD/DVDROM drive into the *primary" or the *secondary* connector (as master of course)?
[01:51] <mrDaniel_> sam_k: I think that azureus is the the best client
[01:51] <nickspoon> sam_k: azureus.
[01:51] <mrDaniel_> ghost: I think this is not important
[01:51] <nickspoon> ghost: doesn't matter.
[01:51] <ghost> ok fine
[01:51] <mrDaniel_> is there a way to set a new printer under ubuntu, which print only in file?
[01:52] <sam_k> mrDaniel_ , nickspoon: Thanks for your help.
[01:52] <Samuli^> azureus? It's a memory hog.
[01:53] <nickspoon> Samuli^: to be expected with Java, but it's very nice feature-wise.
[01:53] <mrDaniel_> Samuli^: yes, you're right, but it's also the best client for bittorrent i know
[01:54] <justin_> Does anyone know of a program to copy BadCD's for Linux, it would be to copy image files -- I want it to copy as much as it possibly can, instead of saying "error" and saving nothing at all --
[01:55] <Samuli^> mrDaniel_, you might be right.
[01:55] <Samuli^> I like the original bittorrent but it definately is lean on the features.
[01:55] <DarkMageZ> Samuli^, mrDaniel_, ktorrent isn't a bad bittorrent client
[01:55] <wwwdotcom> Ok, I got the CD out, you have to hold the mouse down.  When it loads ubuntu, I have to log in, then I get something like "~$" What do I do from there?
[01:55] <Samuli^> it's great if you're using kde
[01:56] <DarkMageZ> Samuli^, i use it under gnome anyways
[01:57] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: gdm
[01:57] <Samuli^> wow, ktorrent didn't even install any libraries with it, under gnome.
[01:57] <ghost> i have a serious problem: my ubuntu CRASHES all the time, randomly!
[01:58] <wwwdotcom> nickspoon, it says command not found
[01:58] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: did you use a server or desktop installer?
[01:58] <wwwdotcom> I downloaded something called "alternate"
[01:58] <elias_> Will firefox 2.0 be backported to dapper from edgy? It would be great if it would be general policy to backport the new versions of important apps like firefox and openoffice to the LTS releases!
[01:59] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: which option did you choose when you installed, server or desktop?
[01:59] <TiZZ_> can anyone help with a zip drive problem??
[01:59] <wwwdotcom> nick, there wasn't an option
[02:00] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: was this ubuntu or kubuntu you installed, by the way?
[02:00] <wwwdotcom> ubuntu
[02:00] <ghost> i have a serious problem: my ubuntu CRASHES all the time, randomly! what can i do to diagnose?
[02:00] <zmo> hello
[02:00] <avr_freak> what about Ubuntu an old Ati Rage Cards ? I cant run Strartx
[02:00] <Code-E> Can anybody tell me what a good iso burning software is?
[02:00] <zmo> how can I see from what repository comes a given package ?
[02:00] <Code-E> for ubuntu*
[02:00] <zmo> I forgot what command gives that
[02:00] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: it sounds very much like you've installed the server version, meaning no GUI.
[02:01] <Janchi> @ghost. How random is random? When does it crash?
[02:01] <zmo> if anyone knows it off head
[02:01] <wwwdotcom> Code, CDBurnerSP Pro 3 is free
[02:01] <nickspoon> just to be sure, type startx
[02:01] <Code-E> thanks
[02:01] <shylock> could anyone point me to what has to be done to view movies on my tv from ubuntu? i have tried checking the forums but dont understand very much
[02:01] <ghost> Janchi: suddenly it reboots, like "hard reset"
[02:01] <wwwdotcom> nickspoon, hmm, so what can I do then?
[02:01] <Samuli^> QT-apps really look great on gnome.
[02:01] <Hoxzer> shylock: get mythtv
[02:01] <Samuli^> too bad it doesn't work the other way around.
[02:01] <Code-E> wwwdotcom: you mean CDburnerXP?
[02:02] <yalu> zmo: apt-get install package --print-uris --dry-run --reinstall
[02:02] <Janchi> Ghost, when did it start and what did you do just before that
[02:02] <utnubu> hi, trying to upgrade 6.06 ubuntu (with kubuntu retrofitted), I get "Could not calculate the upgrade". /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log says Can't mark 'kubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
[02:02] <wwwdotcom> Code, yes
[02:02] <avr_freak> Nothing
[02:02] <Code-E> thanks
[02:02] <utnubu> anything i can do to further diagnose / fix this
[02:02] <wwwdotcom> it says Pro 3 on my icon text
[02:02] <zmo> yalu - yeah, that's a way, thanks, though I know there's a better way to get it
[02:02] <shylock> Hoxzer: will i still have to hack around in Xorg.conf with MythTV=
[02:02] <ghost> Janchi: i just installed ubuntu, then i wanted to transfer files from windows machine to ubuntu
[02:02] <Code-E> wwwdotcom: this is windows software
[02:02] <zmo> yalu - apt-cache policy is that way :)
[02:02] <zmo> thanks all
[02:02] <zmo> +
[02:02] <ghost> and then *bang*-crash
[02:02] <wwwdotcom> Code, yes it is
[02:03] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: run startx, and if that doesn't work, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop.
[02:03] <Janchi> Ghost, any files larger than 4 Gb?
[02:03] <Code-E> But I need one for linux ubuntu
[02:03] <ghost> Janchi: don't think so
[02:03] <ghost> Janchi: it does also crash when doing nothing
[02:04] <furesta> Hi all, just a quick question, does anybody have dapper running on an ASROCK 939NF4G SATA2 mobo? Any issues? Should be my next buy...
[02:04] <wwwdotcom> nick, had to do the second, and now the screen is flying with text lol
[02:04] <nickspoon> good.
[02:04] <variant> Code-E: cdrecord is ideal
[02:04] <Janchi> Ghost, I would suggest to to take the easy road this time: complete reinstall. Maybe something did not go well. It happens
[02:04] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: follow the instructions :)
[02:04] <wwwdotcom> Code, you can burn as an image file, it doesn't matter the platform
[02:04] <Janchi> Ghost, it only takes 30 minutes.
[02:04] <variant> Code-E: cdrecord /dev/cdrom filename.iso
[02:04] <Warbo> Hello, I want to make a Wiki on my freewebs.com site. Is that possible, and where would be a good place to start researching?
[02:04] <ghost> Janchi: reinstall everything?
[02:04] <Code-E> thanks
[02:04] <ghost> hmm
[02:05] <nickspoon> Code-E: nautilus has an ISO burner built in.
[02:05] <ghost> isn't there a beter way
[02:05] <Janchi> Warbo, try the wiki site. Tons of software
[02:05] <wwwdotcom> nickspoon, now it is asking me to insert a disk
[02:05] <variant> Code-E: if you want a large program to do it then k3b is excellent, much better than the likes of nero
[02:05] <wwwdotcom> it failed and then aborted
[02:05] <Code-E> ok
[02:05] <Code-E> well i gotta go
[02:05] <Code-E> bai
[02:05] <Janchi> Ghost, since it is a fresh install that would be the easy way, yes. You can try to copy the files later on again.
[02:05] <avr_freak> i will try the desktop edition .... IOf tey didnt work ?
[02:05] <nickspoon> wwwdotcom: put in the Ubuntu CD.
[02:05] <johan1> can anyone tell me what decoders need to be loaded for totem to worl PLZ????
[02:06] <nickspoon> then run that command again.
[02:06] <wwwdotcom> nick, the same alternate one?
[02:06] <nickspoon> yep.
[02:06] <utnubu> sigh, guess i can't upgrade to eft then
[02:06] <Overand> uh
[02:06] <Overand> eft isn't 'done' yet
[02:06] <utnubu> i know
[02:06] <Janchi> Ghost, I had some problems with other installs before. A clean reinstall fixed that
[02:07] <wwwdotcom> ok, it's continuing
[02:07] <brush01uk> Greetings Everyone, have a Good Weekend, Barry
[02:07] <utnubu> i'll give it another go when it's final
[02:07] <utnubu> otherwise it's back to windows
[02:07] <johan1> Hi all! Can anyone help me with TOTEM and decoders?
[02:07] <brush01uk> as a newbie.just taking notes
[02:07] <zmo> re
[02:08] <nickspoon> johan1: what do you want to know?
[02:08] <zmo> actually, I'm trying to install Xgl/compiz on a friend's computer as I did on mine
[02:08] <johan1> totem wont work - says I may need to load decoders - where from and what are they called?
[02:08] <brush01uk> Johan1, have you tryed Easyubuntu ?
[02:08] <nickspoon> johan1: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[02:09] <johan1> thanks heaps!!!!
[02:09] <zmo> but there's a weird issue: I can't find from what sources I got compiz-manager, cgwd and other packages...
[02:09] <nickspoon> !multimedia
[02:09] <ubotu> For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[02:09] <zmo> I'm pretty sure I downloaded them from the compiz.net source
[02:09] <brush01uk> its a great program,will setup your codecs
[02:09] <nickspoon> zmo: ubuntu's compiz repository is a bit weird at the moment.
[02:09] <zmo> anyone knows anything about that, or could point me in the right direction ?
[02:10] <cpk2> will i cause problems for myself if I set a ntfs partition to /home until I can format it as ext3 after the install from the live cd?
[02:10] <Samuli^> I don't think zmo is using the repository.
[02:10] <brush01uk> in each area,   just tick three at a time
[02:10] <zmo> nickspoon - oh, ok... and do you know when it will be ok, or well shall I refer to in order to know when it's ok, and what to do ?
[02:10] <nickspoon> zom: the standard repositories + multiverse contain compiz, compiz-gnome/kde and xserver-xgl, which is all you need.
[02:10] <Samuli^> zmo, are you pulling the source from cvs and compiling yourself or what?
[02:10] <ghost> for enabling extra repos: do i only have to enable the "non-free" on the first, official ubuntu 6.06 LTS or also on the community one?
[02:10] <zmo> Samuli^ - lol, I'm not, Ionly installed packages
[02:11] <nickspoon> ghost: both.
[02:11] <Samuli^> nickspoon, but they are hopelessly out of date.
[02:11] <zmo> I followed a pretty simple howto, and it was done in matter of minutes
[02:11] <ghost> nickspoon: it says something with "duplicated"
[02:11] <nickspoon> Samuli^: works fine here.
[02:11] <zmo> but for everybody else, it seems a lot of trouble:p
[02:11] <nickspoon> ghost: don't then ;)
[02:11] <zmo> !compiz
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <Samuli^> nickspoon, sure it does, but configuring for example is much better done with the newer packages and compiz manager + you can change your window-decorations etc.
[02:12] <Ti_Uhl> hello
[02:12] <zmo> hm... gonna check #ubuntu-xgl :)
[02:12] <Ti_Uhl> is there a different channel for ubuntu server ?
[02:12] <Ti_Uhl> or can i get help here ?
[02:12] <ghost> nickspoon: so where? community or official?
[02:13] <nickspoon> official.
[02:13] <ghost> and also for the source?
[02:13] <tapas> hmm, if i want to deliver signals across thread boundaries, will this work if the thread is not a QThread, too?
[02:13] <tapas> queued events that is
[02:13] <brush01uk> hi, Ti_Uh1
[02:14] <tapas> ah well, i can just use a QThread as well i suppose
[02:14] <zyclop> I have 2 NICs in my PC and whenever eth0 (lan) is pinged it goes "arp who has x tell y" on eth1 (internet) => no echo reply. what is happening and what can i do against that?
[02:14] <furesta> No one using an ASROCK mobo?
[02:15] <tapas> but i have a phread used already, so i'd like to save some work :)
[02:15] <Ti_Uhl> i'm trying to install raid1 with soft Raid, i'm using 2 physical drives, wich are identical, but when the software raid is set up and i want to create a partition, the remaining space is marked as unavailable, wich means i can't create more then one partition ?
[02:15] <Czech> Hi
[02:15] <tapas> also can the signal and slot live in the same class? and even the same object
[02:15] <Samuli^> furesta, it's not so much whose motherboard it is, but rather what chipset it has nforce4, uli m1967 etc.
[02:15] <tapas> oops
[02:15] <tapas> wrong channel
[02:15] <ghost> www.google.ch
[02:16] <furesta> Samuli, it's an ASROCK 939NF4G SATA2.
[02:16] <Forth> Hi
[02:16] <Samuli^> furesta, so that'd be nforce4 judging from the name.
[02:17] <zyclop> anyone in here got experiences with using 2 network cards in one box?
[02:17] <Ti_Uhl> is't it possible to create more then 1 partition with software raid1 ?
[02:17] <furesta> Samuli, you're right, with integrated nvidia graphics controller, I'm looking for someone who already uses it with dapper
[02:18] <Samuli^> zyclop, I have two.
[02:18] <Forth> anyone using freemind on ppc ?
[02:18] <shriphani> hmm downloading lfs now
[02:18] <frogzoo> zyclop: you using a firewall/iptables ?
[02:18] <shriphani> maybe i can create my own linux
[02:18] <zyclop> Samuli^: nope
[02:19] <zyclop> Samuli^: whoops, i meant frogzoo
[02:19] <zyclop> frogzoo: the answer to your question is: no, i do not use a firewall nor do i use iptables
[02:20] <frogzoo> zyclop: the mac addies correct in /etc/iftab ?
[02:20] <Samuli^> zyclop, so what's your problem?
[02:20] <zyclop> frogzoo: wich question are you answering to?
[02:21] <Samuli^> zyclop, so what you want is to share the internet connection?
[02:21] <zyclop> Samuli^: yes, it already worked once or twice and then it didn't
[02:22] <Samuli^> zyclop, by far the easiest way is to use iptables/firestarter.
[02:23] <zyclop> Samuli^: routing works without problem, it's just that eth0 doesn't respond to ping
[02:24] <zyclop> Samuli^: or any other packets
[02:24] <frogzoo> zyclop: you can see its mac from ifconfig ? also, check /etc/iftab
[02:25] <Samuli^> zyclop, are you sure you have set the ports, allowed ip-addresses etc. right?
[02:26] <zyclop> frogzoo: the mac addresses are correct, as is /etc/iftab
[02:26] <Ti_Uhl> i'm trying to install raid1 with soft Raid, i'm using 2 physical drives, wich are identical, but when the software raid is set up and i want to create a partition, the remaining space is marked as unavailable, wich means i can't create more then one partition ?
[02:26] <Ti_Uhl> anyone ?
[02:27] <zyclop> Samuli^: the packets reach their destination but eth0 asks for the box that pinged it via eth1
[02:27] <frogzoo> zyclop: the nics are wired to separate hubs ?
[02:27] <frogzoo> zyclop: the nics are allocated ips in separate subnets ?
[02:28] <zyclop> frogzoo: yes, eth1 is wired to the internet and eth0 to the LAN
[02:28] <frogzoo> zyclop: you checked 'route -n' is sensible ?
[02:29] <zyclop> frogzoo: wait, that might be it: eth1 is <IP_ADDRESS> and eth0 is <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:29] <frogzoo> zyclop: that will give you a real mess
[02:29] <_Rappy_> synaptic says I have php4.4 installed, but when I type i.e. php -v in the console, it says "no such command"
[02:29] <zyclop> frogzoo: thats what i figured out by now
[02:30] <XiXaQ> _Rappy_, perhaps you only have apache module installed and not php itself?
[02:30] <TeePOG> hi hi
[02:31] <zyclop> frogzoo: so, are there any dangers in deleting the entry for eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[02:31] <frogzoo> zyclop: only that eth1 won't work anymore - just give eth1 a different subnet
[02:32] <_Rappy_> XiXaQ : I have the package named only php4 and php4-common. I would think those are the right ones, no? unless i ned the cli too?
[02:32] <zyclop> frogzoo: wich subnet is safe? or can i just enter a random number?
[02:33] <frogzoo> zyclop: anything in 192.168.x.0   - just use different x's with a <IP_ADDRESS> netmask
[02:33] <tiede> Hello. I have a set of games (The xmpuzzles package to be exact) and although the appear in the debian menu entry, they won't open unless i type them in a terminal. How do I go about making them behave correctly?
[02:34] <TeePOG> tell me guys, why would a user not be able to launch an app from the command line? it works from my login, but when I su to the new account, it says "Xlib: Connection to :0:0 refused by server"
[02:34] <zyclop> frogzoo: well, thanks a bunch, you brought a little ray of happiness into my dull life
[02:34] <POVaddct> zyclop: you want to learn about routing and subnetting, you want to learn about reserved ip address ranges for private networks
[02:34] <Vizack> Hello.
[02:34] <frogzoo> zyclop: enjoy
[02:35] <tiede> TeePOG,  is it a GUI app.?
[02:35] <zyclop> POVaddct: already done, but thanks
[02:35] <POVaddct> zyclop: okay
[02:35] <frogzoo> POVaddct: mostly people just want it to work ;)
[02:35] <TeePOG> yes tiede, it's VMware Player... i set the permissions to 777, so it's not that
[02:35] <Samuli^> TeePOG, it's the su you're using.
[02:35] <Vizack> Ubuntu 6.06 installer hangs to keyboard selection, what could be the problem?
[02:36] <TeePOG> ohhh Samuli^, so if i login to the terminal directly, it should work?
[02:36] <POVaddct> frogzoo: yeah, i know. but if people only given recipes and don't know the basics behind that, the will ask again and again...
[02:36] <bones> hello
[02:36] <Vizack> Not totally, I can cancel it and start again, but allways the same thing.
[02:36] <bones> im having trouble with xgl/nvidia drivers
[02:36] <Samuli^> TeePOG, if you login to terminal you don't have X running, so no. :)
[02:36] <tiede> I was not touching on permissions just yet, TeePOG. I was rather thinking along the lines of has X been started???
[02:36] <bones> i installed nvidia drivers from the site
[02:36] <frogzoo> POVaddct: fair point
[02:37] <TeePOG> i mean, Samuli^, that if I login to that user's desktop and open a console there, it should work?
[02:37] <Samuli^> TeePOG, but use sudo instead or there's options for su to allow X-applications to start too, I think. 'man su'
[02:37] <bones> can someone help  me with my nvidia xgl problem?
[02:37] <TeePOG> tiede: it is... i'm in ti right now
[02:37] <Samuli^> TeePOG, yeah. If it doesn't need root-priviledges that is.
[02:37] <TeePOG> no Samuli^, strictly userland
[02:38] <Samuli^> it should work.
[02:38] <bones> anyone know how to remove the nvidia website driver?
[02:38] <froud> Does d-i on Ubuntu work with kickstart files created using system-config-kickstart ?
[02:38] <TeePOG> well, will brb, trying that
[02:38] <Vizack> "ubiquity: Watching for question patterns ^kbd-chooser/method$, ^console-keymaps.*/keymap$, ERROR" ...in installer/syslog.
[02:41] <tiede> So back to my question: I have a set of games (The xmpuzzles package to be exact) and although the appear in the debian menu entry, they won't open unless i type them in a terminal. How do I go about making them behave correctly? Any Ideas?
[02:41] <bones> does xgl work with the nvidia website driver?
[02:41] <zyclop> tiede: wich window manager do you use?
[02:42] <tiede> I use the basic Gnome+Nautilus+Metacity configuration packaged in Ubuntu
[02:43] <zyclop> tiede: well, i know next to nothing about gnome, but you should check the menu file for errors
[02:44] <zyclop> tiede: or check the menu with whatever application you use to edit your menu
[02:44] <Samuli^> tiede, that menu-editor would be ala carte
[02:45] <avr_freak> default username / Pasword for Ubuntu - Server ?????
[02:46] <zyclop> tiede: well, check out the xmpuzzles entry
[02:46] <tiede> They only appears in the debian menu, so I *know* they do not conform to the standard ubuntu .desktop system zyclop. I will however see if Alacarte can shed some light on it Samuli^
[02:47] <tiede> I wanted to keep the games, zyclop so my 8-yr-old cousin can just click to play them, w/o havig to go to a terminal and type them in
[02:48] <avr_freak> default username / Pasword for Ubuntu - Server ?????
[02:48] <Samuli^> tiede, it would be as simple as making a menu entry for the game and make it launch whatever the game's name is.
[02:49] <zyclop> tiede: how about a desktop icon?
[02:49] <bones> my xserver witi xgl says it cant find libglx.so
[02:49] <Samuli^> tiede, but anyways, check the debian-menu menu-entry's to see what's wrong with them.
[02:49] <tiede> we are talking more than 20 games, that is way too much for my desktop ;)
[02:50] <zyclop> tiede: yeah, check the menu-entry
[02:50] <TeePOG> thanks tiede and Samuli^, i got it working
[02:50] <elias_> how is dapper with ntfs?
[02:51] <tiede> I checked the menu entries in Alacarte Samuli^, and nothing seems wrong.... I even ticked the 'launch in a terminal' box to test one of them but it does nothing...
[02:51] <XiXaQ> elias_, Linux isn't good with ntfs. It's possible to read from it, but not recommended.
[02:51] <Samuli^> elias_, you can read from ntfs just fine.
[02:51] <TheMafia> does crossover office make itunes 7 work?
[02:51] <TheMafia> I can't seem to get itunes working with my ipod and vmware server
[02:51] <Samuli^> XiXaQ, reading is unharmful. Writing is what's bad for you :)
[02:51] <Amaranth> TheMafia: doubtful
[02:52] <Amaranth> iTunes 7 just came ou
[02:52] <Amaranth> err, out
[02:52] <Janchi> Elias, read from NTFS is fine, but writing sucks
[02:52] <elias_> Need to write to NTFS. How about ntfs3g or how this project was called that promised full NTFS support pretty soon.
[02:52] <Amaranth> !ntfs
[02:52] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[02:52] <Amaranth> !fuse
[02:52] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[02:52] <Samuli^> elias_, I'm using it with no problems, but, still.. :)
[02:52] <zyclop> tiede: what exactly is the command for the entry?
[02:52] <TheMafia> Amaranth, ok, how disapopointing.
[02:52] <Samuli^> !ntfs-3g
[02:52] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[02:52] <XiXaQ> elias_, it's possible to write to ntfs, but do you really need ntfs, or could you maybe use vfat instead?
[02:52] <Samuli^> that is what I'd recommend.
[02:53] <tiede> /usr/games/xmtriangle is one of em', for example zyclop
[02:54] <peace-keeper> is there a place where i can download compiled kernels?
[02:54] <zyclop> tiede: does that entry work if you run it on the terminal?
[02:54] <Samuli^> peace-keeper, the repositories? :)
[02:54] <peace-keeper> hum
[02:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> XiXaQ, fat is a horrible FS though :(
[02:55] <Samuli^> really annoying.
[02:55] <Samuli^> breaks easily, fragments, doesn't support files over 4GB..
[02:55] <XiXaQ> Kamping_Kaiser, ntfs is a horrible fs for any GNU/Linux system. VFat is more suited when you absolutely have to share a partition between win32 and GNU/Linux
[02:55] <tiede> Yes it work from the terminal zyclop . It just won't work from the menu...
[02:55] <TheMafia> is there anything that handles podcasts well and sync's with the ipod?
[02:56] <TheMafia> amarok continues to freeze on me
[02:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> XiXaQ, i cant speak from experiance here, so i'm pulling out of this convo now :)
[02:56] <zyclop> tiede: the exact entry copied directly into the terminal?
[02:56] <elias_> what is the max partition size for vfat?
[02:56] <tiede> yup
[02:56] <Amaranth> TheMafia: You probably have to upgrade to edgy to get support for your iPod if you've every used it with iTunes 7 and/or just bought it in the last two weeks.
[02:56] <Samuli^> elias_, something like 2,5TB or so.
[02:57] <Amaranth> ext2 works on linux and windows
[02:57] <zyclop> tiede: hmmm
[02:57] <cpk2> what runlevel starts kdm?
[02:57] <Amaranth> There is no journaled filesystem that works on more than one OS though, sadle.
[02:57] <Amaranth> err, sadly
[02:58] <XiXaQ> Amaranth, windows reads and writes to ext2 fs? I thought you had to install additional software for that..
[02:58] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: You do.
[02:58] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[02:59] <shylock> can anyone please tell me what command starts the graphic mysql admin?
[02:59] <tiede> zyclop, I copied and pasted it to the terminal just to make sure a i wasn't accidently fixing it while typing. It runs from the terminal, but won't open in the menu. The same game. quite fishy.
[03:00] <zyclop> tiede: my last suggestion would be to check the "run in terminal" box
[03:00] <netG> hi i'm new to Gnome , I used KDE in the past...  Is there something like xkill tool (ctrl-alt-esc) in gnome?
[03:00] <cpk2> just installed from the live cd, i am stuck at a run level prompt, doesnt seem to be picking up my usb keyboard
[03:00] <tiede> I already did so to no avail... :)
[03:00] <EkUmBa> does anyone know a program like bid o magic for ubuntu?
[03:01] <tiede> netG, use killall <program>
[03:01] <netG> tiede: I know this ;-)
[03:02] <JimyLinux11> SUGGESTION...
[03:02] <zyclop> tiede: does it work when invoked with a desktop icon?
[03:02] <JimyLinux11> Korean Government make the Official Linux Standard..."Buyo"
[03:02] <TheMafia> Amaranth, I thought dapper was the latest?  Can I upgrade dapper to edgy or do I have to do a reinstall?
[03:02] <JimyLinux11> And, Buyo standard will be china and japan linux standard.(Buyo will be? no. Buyo will be compatible...or support...)
[03:02] <netG> But is not what I'm asking for..
[03:02] <JimyLinux11> So, I want that ubuntu must support Buyo standard.(by apt-get, rpm, etc upgrade method)
[03:02] <Amaranth> TheMafia: edgy is beta
[03:02] <tiede> You can also place a killall applet on the gnome-bar to speed up the process. It is found in the add panel items menu, netG
[03:02] <TheMafia> I bought it in the last two weeks but never used it with itunes 7, only tried, itunes doesn't work right in an emulator
[03:02] <tiede> Let me tr it, zyclop
[03:03] <EkUmBa> does anyone know a program like bid o magic for ubuntu?
[03:03] <tucoz> I can never remember how to get usplash back to ubuntu after a kubuntu install. And unfortunatley the link ubuto gave me is empty
[03:03] <tucoz> *ubotu
[03:03] <strav> hey there... quick question: there are some packages I'm looking for that I can only find in the amd64 version... Any particular reason I should not install this on intel? (beside it's written amd64?)
[03:03] <netG> tiede: thanks this is what I'm looking for!!!
[03:03] <Amaranth> TheMafia: sudo "update-manager -c -d"
[03:03] <Amaranth> TheMafia: That should offer to upgrade you to edgy
[03:04] <Amaranth> oh, no it won't
[03:05] <Amaranth> TheMafia: gksu "update-manager -c -d"
[03:05] <TheMafia> Amaranth, how beta is edgy?  I am a redhat guy that has recently switched to ubuntu, is edgy real unstable
[03:05] <Amaranth> TheMafia: Remember, before you do that, edgy is still beta and about a month away from release.
[03:05] <tiede> zyclop, It won't open from a desktop icon neither... hmm
[03:05] <Amaranth> TheMafia: Works great for me, not so great for others.
[03:05] <tiede> you're welcome netG!
[03:06] <t9k232> hello
[03:06] <t9k232> I'm installing Ubuntu on a Windows virtual machine
[03:06] <Amaranth> tucoz: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[03:06] <zyclop> tiede: does it work with some other window manager?
[03:06] <t9k232> on the virtual machine, there is a fat32 partition with Windows already installed
[03:07] <TheMafia> Amaranth, when it is officially released, will the beta version upgrade?
[03:07] <t9k232> but, when I try to use the partitioning software included in the "install"
[03:07] <LjL> t9k232: sorry if i cut you off before you even start explaining, but why don't you just use a fresh virtual machine?
[03:07] <Amaranth> TheMafia: yep
[03:07] <netG> color test
[03:07] <tiede> ooh, I'd have to install another one to test it zyclop... what do you think? Sawfish?
[03:07] <netG> color test
[03:07] <t9k232> LjL: it's to try the GRUB
[03:08] <LjL> t9k232: ok
[03:08] <Amaranth> TheMafia: It'll actually offer to update once a day from today on so you'll get to 6.10 final a bit at a time without one massive upgrade later.
[03:08] <t9k232> when trying to partition the hard disk
[03:08] <t9k232> I have the following problem
[03:08] <t9k232> I can't see Used and Unused space
[03:09] <t9k232> so i can't resize the partition
[03:09] <t9k232> (FAT32)
[03:09] <LjL> t9k232: is that VMWare?
[03:09] <tucoz> Amaranth, i think i had to run a second command after that. to merge it to the kernel image (i think).
[03:09] <t9k232> yes, it is
[03:09] <zyclop> tiede: how far would you go for that game?
[03:10] <t9k232> Unable to read the content of this filesystem. because of this some operations may be unavailable.
[03:10] <t9k232> etc etc
[03:10] <josh_> hey, quick question... who in here know alot about ssh and how can i get a message to users trying to log in
[03:10] <LjL> t9k232: bah... that feels like a problem with the way vmware simulates HDs to me, to be honest
[03:10] <netG_> is there a good looking IRC client for Gnome? I used Konversation in KDE
[03:11] <LjL> t9k232: though i don't seem to find any relevant reference to the problem on google
[03:11] <tiede> it's a bunch of them, not just one. And they're for my little cousin... But I think I'll just uninstall them until better solution is found zyclop
[03:11] <josh_> netG_: Xchat
[03:11] <t9k232> maybe the problem is due to the snapshot I created
[03:11] <t9k232> so there is a virtual hard disk part of a virtual hard disk
[03:12] <t9k232> maybe gparted doesn't understand that correctly
[03:12] <LjL> t9k232: uhm, you've lost me on that. i don't know what's that nexted HD thing in vmware
[03:12] <zyclop> tiede: wait, maybe they are designed for xfce
[03:13] <[GuS] > if someone wants to test Beryl, here the packages for Edgy: http://rapidshare.de/files/34864047/Beryl_28-09-2006.tar.gz.html
[03:13] <zyclop> tiede: that would explain quite a bit
[03:13] <t9k232> LjL: no problem ;) thanks very much for your support
[03:13] <t9k232> I'll try to do another test
[03:14] <tiede> xmpuzzles	games	collection of puzzles for X (Motif version)  No xfce mentionned... It is listed in thme MOTU wiki page though: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/NoDesktopFile
[03:15] <erkintek> hi I have a problem on my labtop
[03:15] <netG> test
[03:15] <zyclop> tiede: well, we reached the end of my knowledge. I have no idea what is going on
[03:15] <thedash> umm, I got an error when I booted this morning: Internal Error: Failed to intitalize HAL!
[03:15] <LjL> netG: we hear you
[03:15] <thedash> I think that can't be good
[03:15] <erkintek> When I connect second monitor, My sys gots so slow
[03:15] <netG> color test ;-)
[03:15] <erkintek> It doesnt matter wheather I'm on X or not
[03:16] <tiede> It's ok. Thanks for trying so hard though... Do you think this is bug-worthy?
[03:16] <zyclop> erkintek: i just want to know: how did you connect the second monitor?
[03:16] <damned> still nobody who got troubles wight edgy+nvidia-glx?
[03:16] <bones> how come direct render isnt on?
[03:16] <zyclop> tiede: well, the developers might want to know about this
[03:16] <LjL> !edgy
[03:16] <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
[03:16] <erkintek> zyclop: from back, connector, its crt, 915G
[03:17] <tiede> will file a bug in malone. Thanks so much zyclop
[03:18] <plb> so it's official debian is renaming firefox...wonder if ubuntu will get the same
[03:18] <erkintek> It's a kernel issue,
[03:18] <plb> do*
[03:18] <LjL> plb: hope so (as you know)
[03:18] <plb> hehe
[03:19] <zyclop> plb: what are they renaming it to?
[03:19] <LjL> plb: what's it renaming it to?
[03:19] <zyclop> heh
[03:19] <erkintek> I closed kdm :) but slowind down and high cpu
[03:19] <plb> dunno they didn't say yet
[03:19] <plb> http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=16009
[03:20] <heta> hi
[03:20] <thedash> is there any way to actively check a hard drive to see if it returns any errors anywhere on it?
[03:20] <heta> any1 knows if there is a how to for installing nvidia drivers and xgl on edgy? tried but didn't find any on forums/wiki
[03:20] <thedash> like chkdsk or something?
[03:22] <LjL> thedash: fsck
[03:22] <josh_> how do i display a message to users before they log in to the computer? (a Disclimer in otherwords)
[03:22] <LjL> josh_: /etc/motd, for text logins
[03:22] <thedash> LjL:: I was looking more for an entire disk, not just a filesystem
[03:22] <josh_> im looking for one BEFORE they log in... motd is after a sucessful login
[03:23] <LjL> thedash: well, chkdsk check a partition AFAIK... anyway, if you want to check an *entire* disk, then i assume it means you want to check for *physical* defects, like bad blocks or worse.  i don't know of any bad-sector-checking packages on Linux, but you might want to try smartmontools (run "smartctl -A /dev/hdwhatever") to see what your HD's health is like
[03:23] <jrib> josh_: for ssh or for all logins?
[03:23] <CreativePony> through what means does one get dapper to upgrade to whatever the latest release beta is?
[03:24] <LjL> thedash: that's -- of course -- a S.M.A.R.T. data monitoring program
[03:24] <josh_> jrib, ssh
[03:24] <josh_> i have set a banner but that doesn't work
[03:24] <jrib> josh_: you can set a Banner in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I have mine set to:  Banner /etc/issue.net
[03:24] <jrib> oh...
[03:24] <josh_> lol
[03:25] <jrib> josh_: you restarted ssh?
[03:25] <josh_> yeah been there.... doesn't show before "login:"
[03:25] <josh_> that i haven't done yet....
[03:25] <josh_> and i cant because im not at home
[03:25] <josh_> im at work on my computer right now lol
[03:25] <josh_> well i suppose i could just init 6 it...
[03:25] <josh_> that way i know its coming back up
[03:25] <josh_> good point
[03:25] <josh_> brb
[03:28] <CreativePony> i'm trying to run gksu "update-manager -c -d".. and its offering the upgrade to 6.10, and downloads two files, then disapears, seeming to just, silently crash
[03:30] <Zaggynl> wtb: a safe way to write to NTFS :(
[03:31] <lupine_85> the safe way to write to NTFS is to use Windows in VMWare to do it
[03:31] <Zaggynl> !
[03:31] <Zaggynl> I have vmware running winxp as we speak
[03:31] <Zaggynl> howto?!
[03:31] <haroldo> what was the off topic channel?
[03:31] <haroldo> name
[03:31] <Zaggynl> !offtopic
[03:31] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:32] <Dr_willis> ntfs-3g i hear works decently well.. (never tried it)
[03:32] <haroldo> !offtopic
[03:32] <lupine_85> you need to give it your NTFS partition as a drive
[03:32] <Zaggynl> hrm
[03:32] <Zaggynl> 'map network drive' ?
[03:32] <lupine_85> ntfs-3g works quite well now, apparently, but it's still got a possibility of eating your data and sleeping with your cat
[03:32] <haroldo> thx
[03:33] <Dr_willis> lupine_85,  they fixed that "sterilizing your dog bug" eh?
[03:33] <Samuli^> ntfs-3g works fine for me. At least has worked for 2 weeks now.
[03:33] <Dr_willis> :)
[03:33] <paolob> Hi guys! My ubuntu pc has 2 nics: the first is always eth0, but the 2nd is sometimes eth1 and other times eth2. How can I fix that? thank you!
[03:33] <lupine_85> DR_willis - yes, it doesn't do that any more
[03:33] <lupine_85> which isn't much comfort to the cat
[03:33] <brian98> offtopic: :) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5388182.stm
[03:33] <Zaggynl> lupine_85, would you know how to map the drive?
[03:34] <Zaggynl> lol, clinton supporting ubuntu, cool
[03:34] <lupine_85> Zaggynl: you need to edit the .vmdk (?) file
[03:34] <lupine_85> plenty of how-tos about
[03:35] <Zaggynl> ah okay, thanks
[03:35] <lupine_85> just make sure the ntfs drive is umounted, and use /dev/<?>
[03:36] <Zaggynl> hm so I can't keep it mounted in linux, sounds obvious yes
[03:37] <cpk2> what would be the best way to format my sata drive and make it /home?
[03:37] <HetaUma> I have installed ubuntu. Is there any meta file that I should sellect in order to downlad all kde packages that come with kubuntu?
[03:38] <jrib> HetaUma: kubuntu-desktop
[03:39] <mipstien> i have some sort of bad file or files on my computer and i can't locate it, is there a way to locate it?
[03:39] <HetaUma> jrib ty
[03:42] <tiede> paolob, do you have more than two network cards. Check in your lspci...
[03:44] <daurn> !screenshot
[03:44] <ubotu> Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr]  button or the file -> acquire menu in the Gimp. Screenshots can be posted on the !pastebin
[03:45] <paolob> tiede, no, they are 2
[03:45] <DistroMan> Installed ubuntu server. It's running fine.  Mail server running fine.  Cups wants me to give a name and password and mine don't work.  Is there a default admin password for cups on ubuntu server?
[03:45] <LjL> ubotu no, Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr]  button or the file -> acquire menu in the Gimp.
[03:45] <mipstien> is there a bash command to reinstall all your current apt programs?
[03:46] <DeadSouL> How can I make Dell Latitude D500's Fn button work in Kubuntu?
[03:46] <tiede> that is fishy. Do you have more than one manager for them. Check your /etc/network/interfaces file for messy entries.
[03:46] <main2> can i use AIGLX on ubuntu(dapper) ? :-))
[03:46] <LjL> mipstien: i don't think so, but "dpkg --get-selections | grep install" will list all the installed packages... should be possible to write a short script to reinstall them all
[03:46] <main2> (btw, i got a NVIDIA card)
[03:47] <LjL> mipstien: perhaps    dpkg --get-selections | grep install | awk ' { print "apt-get --reinstall install " $1 } ' | sh           <--- use at own risk
[03:47] <main2> can i use AIGLX on ubuntu(dapper) ? :-))
[03:47] <cpk2> I am formatting a drive right now and want to make it /home after I format it, but am not sure on how to do this?
[03:48] <Skrot> Hi. I've got a debian box setup with 1 disc running normal ext3+swap, and 4 discs running in a LVM setup. I want to install ubuntu on that box. Do I need to take a backup of the LVM configuration or anything of that sort, or will the (k)ubuntu installer detect it and mount it?
[03:48] <mipstien> hmm, that sorta worked, it only went through about 10 things though
[03:48] <LjL> mipstien: and then?
[03:49] <tiede> that is fishy. Do you have more than one manager for them. Check your /etc/network/interfaces file for messy entries paolob
[03:49] <mipstien> nothing just reinstalled about 10 things, but it didn't crash like synaptic did
[03:50] <LjL> mipstien: hm, i'm not too surprised that it doesn't work smoothly, but i find the *way* it's not working sort of puzzling
[03:50] <mipstien> lyl: where can i get a completely clean boot script?
[03:50] <LjL> mipstien: "boot script" in what sense?
[03:51] <mipstien> ljl: basically the script that loads everything during the bootup. one that mounts your drives and checks them. i'd like the one from a base install
[03:51] <LjL> mipstien: there's not even close to a single script doing that... it's all the scripts in /etc/init.d, basically
[03:51] <LjL> mipstien: don't know where you'd find them
[03:52] <mipstien> ljl: im having trouble on bootup with e2fsck failing

[03:53] <mipstien> lyl: it says there is something wrong with my disk, but if i check it there is nothing. but i did end up reinstalling and was fine after that. but i had backed up my old system information so i could just copy it over to this new install and it borught the problem with it

[03:54] <LjL> mipstien: well, that's not the sort of backup you're supposed to do... calls for trouble.. usually you only backup your /home, and possibly /usr/local and /etc (but the latter you don't restore blindly, but only keep for checking purposes)
[03:54] <LjL> !caps
[03:54] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:55] <daurn> frogzoo: nope
[03:55] <erUSUL> !repeat > saquib
[03:55] <LjL> saquib, i've accessed security about 10 minutes ago and it worked. perhaps you should just wait a little while if the server is down, or your routing is
[03:55] <mipstien> lyl: does that reinstall your apt programs?
[03:55] <jisatsu> I've got some files on an NTFS partition which I've mounted into Ubuntu. Now, most of the files show up, but the files and folders with Japanese names don't show up at all, any idea how I can fix that?
[03:55] <erUSUL> !kernel > saquib
[03:56] <LjL> mipstien: nope. for that, you should do "dpkg --get-selections >some-file-of-your-choice", and then to restore, "dpkg --set-selections <that-very-file"
[03:56] <LjL> mipstien: anyway, just keep this in mind for the future, but i guess it's not solving your problem right now
[03:56] <saquib> LjL> i cant go into that repository since 2 days.. i dont understand, what should I do? any other way?
[03:56] <LjL> saquib: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to the pastebin
[03:57] <mipstien> ljl: i don't understand how the dpkg command would work for me to reget or reinstall my old apt program's?
[03:58] <saquib> LjL> i tired many combinations from source-o-matic as well.... my other repos work, but this creates prob! By the way, whats the PASTEBIN? If i just paste here, it would be flooded!
[03:58] <LjL> mipstien: well, "dpkg --get-selections" dumps a list of all packages you have installed.  "dpkg --set-selections" expects a similar list, and it install whatever doesn't match
[03:58] <LjL> !paste
[03:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:58] <pking> is there a textbased webbrowser for ubuntu
[03:58] <LjL> mipstien: for what it's worth, "fsck" seems to be called from /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh and /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh -- if you want, i can give you my ones
[03:59] <LjL> pking: links2
[03:59] <mipstien> actually, i don't believe fsck is a problem
[03:59] <LjL> mipstien: me neither, to be honest
[03:59] <CSWookie> Has anyone here set up gmail as a smarthost with exim?
[03:59] <CSWookie> I've found a couple sites, but they aren't working for me.
[04:00] <saquib> LjL > I have pasted: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25161/plain/
[04:00] <LjL> mipstien: are you sure your drive is really OK? do you have smartmontools installed?
[04:00] <mipstien> ljl: if i make a complete reinstall everything is fine
[04:01] <mipstien> ljl: i can check it with anything and there is no problem, as soon as i reinsert the .tar file with my old stuff it errors
[04:01] <LjL> mipstien: that doesn't really mean much... if your drive is failing in some places, it might work silently as long as it's not too "crowded", but then start giving problems (such as when you restore a backup...)
[04:01] <mipstien> i can still boot but it says /dev/sda7 is already mounted. e2fsck can't check this disk, check manually
[04:02] <saquib> LjL > I've seen the security repo's add doesnt change... others do (based on region). isnt there any other server except this one??
[04:02] <LjL> mipstien: ah, uhm, perhaps that's a problem with your /etc/fstab...? try pastebinning it, though i'm not too familiar with fstab to be honest
[04:02] <mipstien> ljl: the cause of my problem happened with gparted didn't finish resizeing my ext3 partition the toher day

[04:03] <LjL> saquib: your security lines look OK to me... no, as far as i know security only has a central server and no mirrors.
[04:03] <mipstien> ljl: how do you pastebin? so i don't flood
[04:03] <LjL> saquib: what was the error you were getting again?

[04:04] <mipstien> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25162/
[04:04] <LjL> saquib: people have encountered problems with apt-get and some routers before, because of broken domain name servers in the router
[04:05] <shylock> hi i have managed to get my tv behave as a second desktop but when i try to run a movie fullscreen it gets "zoomed in" eg it only shows like a fourth of the picture, anyone have a tip?
[04:05] <saquib> LjL > No, its ethernet connection from the modem... no router or anything as i know of
[04:05] <LjL> saquib: what does your /etc/resolv.conf file list as a nameserver?
[04:06] <mipstien> ljl: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25162/
[04:06] <LjL> mipstien: uh, why do you have the root partition commented out?
[04:06] <saquib> LjL > nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, and <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:06] <Nagraj> Software index is broken
[04:06] <Nagraj> It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first.
[04:07] <Nagraj> any help
[04:07] <mipstien> i don't, /dev/sda8 isn't on my computer anymore
[04:07] <mipstien> /dev/sda7 is root
[04:07] <LjL> saquib: uhm, that *sounds* like your modem is being a nameserver... try changing the first nameserver to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:07] <LjL> mipstien: well, /dev/sda7 is being listed as /media/sda7, not as root. that's surely a problem.
[04:07] <saquib> LjL > Working on it, just changing the firt one and trying again
[04:07] <elias_> I have 100% utilization when I am typing in evolution. Could be due to some non pristine dapper packages I installed. How can I revert back to all dapper packages?
[04:08] <mipstien> ok its root now :)
[04:08] <LjL> mipstien: i'd also set its options to "defaults,errors=remount-ro", like they used to be in your previous root
[04:09] <LjL> mipstien: check that your other listed partition look consistent with what you really have... and then i'd try a reboot
[04:09] <mipstien> ok well i guess its off to reboot then :)
[04:09] <mipstien> ill be back and let yo uknow how things go

[04:14] <godfather> hi guys
[04:14] <LjL> Shart: well, i wouldn't know honestly. and strangely there's little activity on the channel right now, so perhaps you might try asking again later...
[04:14] <LjL> saquib: can you pastebin the whole apt-get output please?
[04:14] <godfather> is thereanyone who is able to install realplayer
[04:14] <E-bola> Are there any alternatives to gaim?
[04:14] <LjL> !realplayer
[04:14] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:14] <E-bola> it keeps crashing on my install
[04:14] <saquib> LjL wait up... im doing it
[04:15] <haroldo> Ebola: synaptic >> realplay
[04:15] <LjL> E-bola: well, there is kopete for KDE (works under Gnome too, if you don't mind mixing up environments). there's probably a ton others that i don't know about
[04:15] <mipstien> now another problem, grub always chooses old information with booting up, and if i manually edit the grub.lst it fixes it until the next kernal gets updated or installed then it reconfigures itself back to the old numbers, what should i do?
[04:15] <E-bola> i just need something that can use msn messenger accounts
[04:15] <LjL> E-bola: perhaps amsn
[04:16] <E-bola> mmm realplay is a multimedia player?
[04:16] <LjL> E-bola: yes
[04:16] <godfather> yes
[04:16] <E-bola> so what does that have to do with gaim?
[04:16] <bretzel> !edgy
[04:16] <godfather> with mplayer i have some problem
[04:16] <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
[04:16] <bretzel> !schedule
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <LjL> mipstien: i don't know. what i would do is try a "grep -R sda7 /*" to find where sda7 is mentioned, and try to find out where it should be changed to the new partition
[04:17] <LjL> it'll take a while, mind you
[04:17] <godfather> synaptic says that it's impossible to install realplayer because it deends from xlibs and it's not installable
[04:17] <LjL> mipstien: perhaps even just "grep -R sda7 /etc/*" for a start
[04:17] <LjL> E-bola: nothing.
[04:18] <haroldo> E-bola: wine
[04:18] <LjL> E-bola: i was replying to godfather, who asked about installing realplayer
[04:18] <E-bola> dont understand why haroldo sugeste it then hehe
[04:18] <saquib> LjL > http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25163/plain/ (by the way, it seems some files might be getting downlaoded from there.. plz chk)
[04:18] <daurn> how can i switch from ubuntu
[04:18] <LjL> E-bola: oh. he probably just misaddressed his reply
[04:18] <daurn> to kubuntu?
[04:18] <godfather> anyone canhelpme
[04:18] <haroldo> E-bola: because i have real player and it works
[04:19] <LjL> daurn: you can install the "kubuntu-desktop" package, at which point you'll have both Gnome and KDE available
[04:19] <godfather> ?
[04:19] <Horrible> hello everyone
[04:19] <mipstien> ljl: i don't understand what grep is, not that im afraid to use it but if i don't understand it then i can't really understand its output :)
[04:19] <LjL> haroldo: ... as an instant messenger?
[04:19] <Nogimics> Anyone know a decent screen capture prog please?
[04:19] <Horrible> i have a big big problem
[04:19] <LjL> mipstien: "man grep" ;-)
[04:19] <haroldo> LjL: ... no
[04:19] <Horrible> i tried to install my tv-tunner - it has bt878 chipset
[04:19] <LjL> mipstien: it searches for strings inside files
[04:19] <Horrible> but .... it gives me this after installing the needed software
[04:19] <daurn> LjL: i have.. but, how do i switch between them?
[04:19] <LjL> haroldo: well that's what E-bola was asking about. i think you wanted to tell that to godfather instead ;)
[04:19] <Horrible> videoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such file or directory
[04:20] <LjL> daurn: when your login screen comes up, click on "Session" (or "Options") and choose KDE

[04:20] <haroldo> LjL: good point
[04:20] <daurn> ok
[04:20] <daurn> can you switch .. like... now?
[04:20] <Nogimics> Anyone know a decent screen capture prog please?
[04:20] <jrib> Nogimics: istanbul
[04:20] <haroldo> godfather: maybe i can help
[04:20] <godfather> ok
[04:21] <LjL> daurn: if it's all installed, yeah... just logout using the button at top right, and re-login
[04:21] <haroldo> godfather: do you have broadband connection?
[04:21] <godfather> yes
[04:21] <Justy-> slm slm
[04:21] <Horrible> can anyone help me ?!
[04:21] <daurn> LjL: i mean without logging out
[04:21] <mipstien> ljl: this might hel pyou also, if i "sudo grub" then "find /boot/grub/stage1" outputs hd0,6 "root (hd0,6)" "setup (hd0)"  it doesn't change my grub.lst to the correct thing, which should be hd0,6 it changes it to the old partition hd0,7 which does not exist
[04:21] <haroldo> godfather: just update synaptic and upgrade all the packages then install real player again
 try Istanbul
[04:22] <LjL> daurn: well, no. you can spawn a new KDE session however, while keeping your current Gnome session open... i don't know how to do that in Gnome (since i'm using KDE), but it'd be called "Switch user" or something, probably in the System menu
[04:22] <godfather> it needs 9 minutes about
[04:22] <LjL> daurn: you can then switch between the two sessions using ctrl+alt+f7 and ctrl+alt+f9 or ctrl+alt+f8
[04:22] <Nogimics> jrib, thanks
[04:22] <daurn> ok...

[04:23] <Horrible> ANYONE ?
[04:24] <LjL> saquib: so it *is* downloading something (namely kdelibs4), just not the others... hm
[04:24] <godfather> but it teels mw that it needs xlibs
[04:24] <daurn> LjL: didn't work
[04:24] <daurn> it won't let me use the same username

[04:24] <mipstien> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25164/
[04:24] <Horrible> LjL: i have a problem : ideoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such file or directory
[04:24] <Horrible>  - it's about a tv-tunner with bt878 chipset ... how can i fix that error ?
[04:24] <saquib> LjL > could those file really be getting disappeared? Besides, then why would they be in the List? i mean im updating the list of file available, why are they listed then??
[04:25] <LjL> saquib: they *could*, in case of a server glitch, but then you said it's been going on for two days.....
[04:25] <Horrible> LjL ????
[04:26] <haroldo> godfather: what version of realplay?
[04:26] <LjL> Horrible: i don't have such a card, i have no idea
[04:26] <Horrible> goddam it
[04:26] <Horrible> can anyone else help me with this ?
[04:26] <saquib> LjL > the latest kernek available being shown is something.26 .... i installd .25 long back, is the .26 the last one?
[04:27] <kannan> how do I install Linuxthreads?
[04:27] <LjL> mipstien: so - let me be sure i understand --- if you take that menu.lst that you pasted, and change every occurrence of "/dev/sda8" to "/dev/sda7", and every occurrence of "(hd0,7)" to "(hd0,6)",  it gets changed back?
[04:28] <mipstien> ljl: if a new kernel gets installed OR if i run grub and do the setup root thing
[04:28] <davin> Hi guys, how do I remove a folder using rm in a shell?
[04:28] <LjL> saquib: no, the latest Dapper kernel is 2.6.15-27.48
[04:28] <eracc> Horrible, that is not a distribution specific question. Maybe the mythtv people could help you.
[04:28] <LjL> saquib: have you run an "apt-get update" recently?
[04:29] <LjL> davin: use "rmdir". works if the folder is empty.
 i dont have .27 listed...... dats weird. im refresring this list, still same. what should I do?
[04:29] <LjL> davin: otherwise, you can use "rm" with its "recursive" option. type "man rm"
[04:29] <LjL> saquib: "sudo apt-get update" gives no errors, though?
[04:29] <godfather> version 10
[04:29] <haroldo> godfather: 10.???
[04:30] <godfather> 10.0
[04:30] <eracc> davin, what LjL mentioned would be 'rm -rf <directory>'. Yes, you should still 'man rm'. :-)
[04:30] <mipstien> ljl: do you think that maybe i should try to delete grub and then install again?
[04:30] <haroldo> godfather 10.?.?.?.?
[04:31] <LjL> mipstien: no, i don't think so. meaning... it might even solve it, but i can't see why it would.
[04:31] <LjL> mipstien: right now i'm trying to find out where hda2 (my own root partition) is mentioned in the system
[04:31] <godfather> i'm sorry i don't know
[04:31] <infidel> i need help setting up telnet
[04:31] <haroldo> godfather you should know if you have synaptic open
[04:31] <godfather> because synaptic doesn't give me any specifiaction
[04:31] <saquib> LjL > Please chk http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25165/plain/
[04:31] <mipstien> ljl: there is obviously a configuration file somewhere that gparted made that is telling grub what to do/use
[04:32] <godfather> iy's not open
[04:32] <godfather> i can't install it
[04:32] <gnomefreak> saquib: do you have the dapper-updates repo enabled?
[04:32] <LjL> saquib: yes, that's saying it's giving no errors. i'm at a loss, honestly.
[04:32] <haroldo> godfather it should say latest version even if you cant install
[04:32] <eracc> Hrm, being used to lilo I am going to have to learn all the parts for grub now. :-/
[04:32] <godfather> ok
[04:32] <godfather> let me repeat the operation
[04:32] <LjL> mipstien: well yes and no... i'm not sure it would be gparted. myself, i switched from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda2 some time ago, however i don't really remember everything i had to change
[04:33] <saquib> gnomefreak > my sources.list:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25166/plain/
[04:34] <davin> LjL: rm -R folder worked, thanks :-)
[04:35] <WorkAl> Does anyone have any experience running Ubuntu on HP DL or ML servers?
[04:35] <LjL> mipstien: this may sound stupid and it probably is, but what about changing /etc/fstab so that the sda7 entry is the first listed? (well, after /proc)
[04:35] <mipstien> ljl i can try it
[04:36] <saquib> ** I cnt beleive security repository has no mirror.... umm its weird.
[04:36] <gnomefreak> its there
[04:36] <gnomefreak> saquib: try running apt-get update
[04:36] <LjL> mipstien: you could also try a "grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/dev/sda7". note that this is only correct (well, hopefully) if your grub is in the MBR.
[04:37] <godfather> haroldo
[04:37] <godfather> 8.0.11 version
[04:37] <dogui> hello
[04:37] <mipstien> ljl it is
[04:37] <LjL> mipstien: i wouldn't mess with grub that way unless i was very convinced it was the only option, though
[04:37] <haroldo> godfather i think you need to update your repository
[04:37] <dogui> hello betty
[04:37] <godfather> ok
[04:37] <godfather> how can i do this?
[04:37] <saquib> gnomefreak> done dat too....! some files get downlaoded, some says not available.. they are still listed! anyway i could reset the whole thing, and start new?
[04:38] <marc_> hello all
[04:38] <LjL> mipstien: whooops - don't even do that
[04:38] <mipstien> i didn't
[04:38] <LjL> mipstien: as the "directory" term should have hinted, it's expecting a directory, not a /dev/
[04:38] <E-bola> How do i see what hardware device an eth1 is mapped to?
[04:38] <haroldo> godfather sudo apt-get update
[04:38] <LjL> mipstien: so that would be "grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/" anyway  (but then the root-directory specification is redundant, since that's the default)
[04:38] <godfather> ok but now i have to reboot
[04:39] <haroldo> godfather why?
[04:39] <godfather> i'll be here in 2 minutes
[04:39] <hantu> why reboot ;o
[04:39] <haroldo> dont reboot!
[04:39] <godfather> because i have installed all the updates
[04:39] <hantu> you don't have to -_-
[04:39] <wetduck> hi folks!
[04:39] <hantu> that's the whole point of linux!
[04:39] <godfather> and synaptic tells me it need toreboot
[04:39] <mipstien> ljl: so should i try and run "grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/" or is it just a wasteful command?
[04:40] <haroldo> godfather erm... what if you just log out and in again?
[04:40] <marc_> Looking for help with fiding driver support for my asus P5AD2 Premium Wireless edition mother board.
[04:40] <LjL> mipstien: i would just try "grub-install /dev/sda", which should be the same thing. it *shouldn't* really do anything bad, if your grub is already in the MBR of sda... maybe it'll solve nothing, though
[04:40] <haroldo> godfather: i dont think you have to reboot
[04:41] <davin> Hey guys, im back. im trying to copy from '/home/davin/Documents/' to '/media/sdf1/backup/' using 'cp /home/davin/Documents/ /media/sdf1/backup' cp gives me the error 'omitting directory: /media/sdf1/backup/, anything I can do?

[04:41] <wetduck> How do I locate the files wich were on Desktop folder while I use oem user?
[04:41] <erUSUL> davin: cp -r
[04:41] <mipstien> ljl: no that didn't fix it
[04:41] <godfather> i give sudo apt-get update
[04:41] <davin> erUSUL: k hang on
[04:42] <godfather> and i've just tried to install realplayer
[04:42] <godfather> but i gives me the same error message
[04:42] <erUSUL> davin: and 'man cp' some reading is always a good idea ;)

[04:47] <marc_> erUSUL, that will work with ubuntu?
[04:47] <FERNANDISCO> gracias
[04:47] <erUSUL> marc_: i do not know, never tried... in the wiki ages maybe you find more information
[04:49] <erUSUL> pages*
[04:49] <LjL> saquib: well, it *is* indeed looking for files that aren't there
[04:50] <LjL> saquib: for instance, it's looking for a firefox-gnome-support_1.5.dfsg+<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu6.06.1_i386.deb, while only version +<IP_ADDRESS> is there (and an older <IP_ADDRESS>)
[04:50] <LjL> saquib: i wonder why an apt-get update isn't fixing this though
[04:50] <saquib> LjL > Think i've typed apt-get update 100 times .... its not getting fixed
[04:50] <LjL> saquib: do try an apt-get --fix-missing as it suggests... you never know

[04:54] <mipstien> ljl: if i uninstall grub through synaptic and then reinstall could that damage anything?
[04:54] <erUSUL> sic_: in ubuntu is like in debian and debian and it's derivs are very popular... it is tru that is not like rh nor suse
[04:54] <LjL> mipstien: scuse me but, when you ran "grub-install /dev/sda", did the menu.lst contain the right or the wrong partitions?
[04:54] <godfather> hey guys
[04:55] <mipstien> ljl: i don't believe it changed anything
[04:55] <godfather> i have to install 3d drivers of my ati radeon sound card but i don't know how
[04:55] <sic_> erUSL: that means there is no chance to add a connection in gnome? ;)
[04:55] <godfather> anyone can help me?
[04:55] <saquib> LjL > Anything related with a ley problem? It also says, E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. So that's why Index is not getting updated!
[04:55] <froud> What's the difference between Ubuntu-installer and Debian-installer?
[04:55] <marc_> How would I make my second hardrive work
[04:55] <krazykit> godfather: part of it is that it's not a sound card
[04:55] <LjL> saquib: bah, it failed connecting to us.*, and it's complaining about keys... i'm not sure... apt-get update again (yeah i know)
[04:55] <saquib> *i meant key*
[04:55] <krazykit> ubotu: tell godfather about ati
[04:55] <erUSUL> sic_: System> admin> net ??
[04:55] <gerhard> hi
[04:55] <LjL> mipstien: no, i mean *before* you ran it, was menu.lst correct or not? (i mean, the one you pasted was the *wrong* one, wasn't it)
[04:55] <gerhard> how do i create folders? mkdir doesnt work
[04:56] <saquib> LjL > How to get the proper GPG key?
[04:56] <mipstien> ljl: the one i pasted was wrong  yes
[04:56] <sic_> erUSL: yes - but this is very different than everywhere else and there is no "new" or "add" button
[04:56] <krazykit> gerhard: yes it does.  do you have permissions to make folders where you're trying?
[04:56] <erUSUL> gerhard: mkdir *should* and *does* work unless you do not have permisions
[04:57] <LjL> mipstien: and the one you had before running grub-install was...?
[04:57] <gerhard> ok I forgot to make a blank
[04:57] <gerhard> youre right
[04:57] <sonium> is the nvidia driver from the repository the same than the one from nvidia.com?
[04:57] <erUSUL> sic_: what type of connection are you trying to add??
[04:57] <mipstien> ljl: i don't understand the question
[04:57] <LjL> saquib: that i don't know. i've been asked that yesterday, too, but i couldn't find the correct page

[04:57] <sic_> an pppoe connection for my modem
[04:57] <krazykit> sonium: the one in the repo is a bit out of date.  there are a few repos with updated ones, though.  someone blogged on planet ubuntu about it
[04:58] <erUSUL> sic_: is an adsl usb modem?? which model??
[04:58] <E-bola> cant u test a screensaver?
[04:58] <erUSUL> !adsl
[04:58] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[04:58] <sonium> is ok to use the one from nvidia.com or are problems expected?
[04:58] <E-bola> in fullscreen i mean?
[04:58] <E-bola> cant seem to find it in ubuntu?
[04:58] <krazykit> E-bola: yes, but i dunno about gnome-screensaver.
[04:58] <sic_> erUSUL: no, a zyxel with ethernet connection
[04:58] <E-bola> how?
[04:58] <dbzdeath> i've forgotten which meta package to use to install all of xorg stuff
[04:58] <dbzdeath> anyone know which it is?
[04:59] <LjL> mipstien: err, i mean... your /boot/grub/menu.lst file, was it "correct" (i.e. listed the right root partition, /dev/sda7 and (hd0,6)) *before* you typed "grub-install /dev/sda", or was it wrong (like the one you pasted)?
[04:59] <krazykit> E-bola: find the screensaver options.  probably System -> Preferences
[04:59] <mipstien> it was wrong
[04:59] <LjL> mipstien: or if you prefer -- make sure to put the correct stuff into menu.lst, and then run "grub-install /dev/sda" again
[04:59] <E-bola> krazykit: thats wher ei am
[04:59] <sic_> erUSUL: it isn't a real problem, but i'm just wondering
[04:59] <mipstien> ljl: ok
[04:59] <E-bola> but its only showing them in a small window
[04:59] <LjL> mipstien: ok, then fix it an run it again
[04:59] <erUSUL> sic_: go to  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE as ubotu told you
[05:00] <krazykit> E-bola: then gnome-screensaver is worse than i though.  i prefer xscreensaver
[05:00] <pirx_> hi! does anyone know how to make ctrl+arrow work in the adress bar in firefox? i think its something in about:config, but cant remember what
[05:00] <LjL> mipstien: there's also a related thread here - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-217617.html - not that it would necessarily be too accurate, but
[05:00] <mipstien> ljl: fixed and run again
[05:00] <sic_> erUSUL: thx
[05:01] <erUSUL> sic_: no problem
[05:01] <LjL> mipstien: well, dunno, try a reboot now. i know it could be just wasted time, but.... and if you want to reinstall grub through APT, do that. shouldn't do any harm
[05:01] <mipstien> ljl: should i try to install grub with the grub command  now?
[05:01] <LjL> mipstien: i think grub-install does the same thing, just with an easier command line...
[05:01] <mipstien> i c
[05:01] <UKMatt> hey, quick question, i'm on skype and the other person can BARELY hear me, does anyone know how to fix that
[05:01] <UKMatt> or if thats a common problem
[05:02] <krazykit> UKMatt: turn up your mic volume
[05:02] <krazykit> UKMatt: in the mixer.
[05:02] <LjL> UKMatt: is your microphone volume set high enough? do you have Mic Gain on?
[05:02] <ZombieQ> hello
[05:02] <UKMatt> the mic is all the way up, and i turned everything in the mixer up that i thought could be linked
[05:02] <UKMatt> whats Mic Gain
[05:02] <mipstien> ljl i do believe that fixxed it, thank you
[05:03] <UKMatt> I have Mic Boost (+20db) on
[05:03] <ZombieQ> I cannot modprobe the fglrx module for some reason it gives me FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted
[05:03] <LjL> UKMatt: well, not all cards have it... it's actually called "Mic Boost" here, anyway i think it increased the microphone gain when it sees a low signal -- or something. at any rate, it just makes it louder
[05:03] <krazykit> ZombieQ: sudo?
[05:03] <ZombieQ> already used sudo
[05:03] <UKMatt> I have Mic Boost (+20db) on, ljl
[05:03] <krazykit> ZombieQ: err, are you using edgy?
[05:04] <ZombieQ> yes
[05:04] <erUSUL> UKMatt: skype uses oss iirc so maybe you have to check the oss device mixer too (in gnome mixer File>Change Device)
[05:04] <krazykit> ZombieQ: then you're in the wrong place.  go to #ubuntu+1
[05:04] <ZombieQ> oh sorry ok thanks :)
[05:04] <krazykit> ZombieQ: s'ok
[05:04] <UKMatt> erusul, how do i do that?
[05:04] <UKMatt> erusul, oh i did that
[05:04] <erUSUL> UKMatt: (in gnome mixer File>Change  Device)
[05:04] <UKMatt> erusul, i tried both
[05:06] <thedash> is there any particular reason why my Ubuntu always freezes if it runs the screen saver for more than 15 minutes or so?
[05:07] <krazykit> thedash: either you have no hardware acceleration or you have ati-drivers
[05:07] <krazykit> probably
[05:07] <vandit2k7> Hi I have a question...I installed the new 6.10 ubuntu beta that came out yesterday and I tried installing nvidia-glx and now the X server fails
[05:07] <thedash> I have an ATI card, not so sure about drivers atm :X
[05:08] <krazykit> vandit2k7: go to #ubuntu+1
[05:08] <vandit2k7> thank you
[05:09] <davvs> is there any application to control bandwidth in ubuntu?
[05:10] <TheNu1> greetings
[05:10] <TheNu1> I have a PCI card to add 2 serial ports... Any idea on how I can get the port and the IRQ for setserial ?
[05:11] <fm> Hi
[05:11] <fm> I was just wondering.. do you know whether it is possible to share CPU resources over a LAN ?
[05:12] <krazykit> fm: sorta.  you could make clusters.
[05:12] <fm> clusters?
[05:12] <krazykit> fm: but it's really not the simplest thing to set up.
[05:12] <sic_> bye
[05:12] <TheNu1> fm: look at things like openMosix
[05:13] <TheNu1> fm: but clusters are realy hard to set up and use-specific
[05:13] <fm> ok thanks!
[05:13] <debianos> hello
[05:13] <krazykit> fm: so short answer: no, long answer:yes
[05:13] <fm> anyway thats mostly for fun
[05:13] <erUSUL> TheNu1: dmesg | grep tty
[05:14] <erUSUL> TheNu1: i get serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[05:15] <TheNu1> erUSUL: what is that exactly ?
[05:15] <debianos>  i try ....just a test
[05:16] <erUSUL> TheNu1: dmesg shows the kernel boot log i piped it to grep so i get the lines detecting tty's (serial ports)
[05:16] <Justy-> Hello!
[05:16] <TheNu1> oh ok
[05:16] <TheNu1> [17179573.740000]  serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[05:16] <TheNu1> [17179573.744000]  00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

[05:16] <Justy-> question: how can i learn whether i have installed the latest driver for my graphics card?
[05:17] <fijam> hello
[05:17] <erUSUL> TheNu1: do not paste here please! use a pastebin...
[05:17] <erUSUL> !paste
[05:17] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:17] <TheNu1> ok, didn't know
[05:17] <M_A_K> I am getting ready to reinstall ubuntu.  I have an 80 GB HD and would like some suggestions on partitioning.
[05:17] <erUSUL> TheNu1: the card's tty is this "ttyS4 at I/O 0x9000 (irq = 217) is a 16550A" the other seems the onboard one
[05:18] <xopher> If I get this error when dpkg-builpackaginng: dpkg-gencontrol: error: must specify package since control info has many - what should I edit?
[05:18] <pandamonium> i have a desktop setup of Ubuntu with KDE. I'm also running some services on it and I'm thinking of handling network routing through it. Are there any resources where I can read up on making a sort of hybrid desktop/server implementation?
[05:18] <segfault_> xopher, ur control file
[05:18] <Justy-> question: how can i learn whether i have installed the latest driver for my graphics card?
[05:18] <xopher> segfault_, what in it?
[05:19] <xopher> there are already two packages mentioned
[05:19] <TheNu1> erUSUL: thanks, gonna try it
[05:19] <segfault_> xopher, there are plenty of debian pkging resources on the net plz read up first
[05:19] <erUSUL> TheNu1: no problem
[05:19] <fyrestrtr> Justy-: if you installed it from the repos, then the system will notify you of any updates.
[05:19] <TheNu1> erUSUL: but there is 2 ports... why is only one detected ?
[05:19] <xopher> segfault_, sure, I have, just wondered if someone would have had a quick answer
[05:20] <Justy-> fyrestrtr, how can i know if it is already installed?
[05:20] <fyrestrtr> Justy-: check the output of glxinfo
[05:20] <segfault_> xopher, plz read if no luck come back and ill try to answer
[05:20] <fyrestrtr> Justy-: if it says direct rendering: Yes, then you have them installed.
[05:20] <erUSUL> TheNu1: i do not know... has your mobo a serial port? maybe i'm mistaken and the two detected are in the pci card
[05:20] <Justy-> display: :0  screen: 0
[05:20] <Justy-> direct rendering: Yes
[05:20] <Justy-> hmm
[05:20] <Justy-> ok
[05:21] <Justy-> thanks fyrestrtr
[05:21] <TheNu1> erUSUL: no serial port on the mobo (that is the problem...) (+by the way, I get an I/O error with ttyS4)
[05:22] <erUSUL> TheNu1: then you have ttyS0 and ttyS4 both on the pci card... and you know i/o and irq for them both. problem solved
[05:24] <swanfl> anyone use kmail?
[05:24] <junix-br> the ndiswrapper is installed in dapper instalation?
[05:24] <erUSUL> junix-br: linux-restricted-modules iirc
[05:25] <junix-br> erUSUL, is this a package?
[05:26] <walck> hi all
[05:26] <erUSUL> junix-br: yes... (may miss the kernel version)
[05:26] <walck> I got myself into sort of a mess right now, anyone free to give me some hints to solve them?
[05:26] <junix-br> erUSUL, ok.. thank you!
[05:27] <walck> I need to let a few outsiders into my machine, so I thought lowering permissions to everything was kinda smart, but I must've changed one permission too much
[05:27] <junix-br> iirc is a module?
[05:27] <fyrestrtr> walck: what tha heck....
[05:27] <walck> because now I can't start new gnome-terminals, and mplayer says segmentation fault
[05:27] <fyrestrtr> junix-br: iirc = if I recall/remember correctly
[05:27] <walck> (mplayer works as root though, so should be permission issues)
[05:27] <Jas-Nix> hello, I have a Dell gx520, it has dual-core intel 64bit
[05:28] <TheNu1> erUSUL: the serial port is still not working... should I change the UART or something ?
[05:28] <Jas-Nix> I downloaded the 64 bit livecd and when I try to run it it just says "loading"
[05:28] <junix-br> fyrestrtr, thanks
[05:28] <Jas-Nix> then nothing happens, any ideas ?
[05:28] <junix-br> =)
[05:28] <thedash> can I see what drivers I have atm?
[05:28] <azzgo1> hello
[05:28] <azzgo1> ubuntu has crashed twice for me when i started wow, first time i get this, how can i see whats causing it?
[05:29] <cyberfall> hey hey
[05:29] <TheNu1> azzgo1: what kind of crash ?
[05:29] <walck> anyone have a good clue about how permissions should be setup correctly?
[05:30] <azzgo1> TheNu1: everything freezind, even the sound, only way i can get out of it is by manualy restarting
[05:30] <cyberfall> kinda of a noob here gotz a problem compileing mplayer or lookin for a program that will convert dvix or xvid to dvd
[05:30] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> can anyone tell me how to update my source.list
[05:30] <tripitaka> Hello, I just booted kubuntu, intalled to disk, now I'm looking at a username/password prompt - what are the default login credentials? thanks
[05:30] <fyrestrtr> !source-o-matic > PunjabiFLOYDIAN
[05:30] <pandamonium> azzgo1, does the cursor freeze as well?
[05:30] <erUSUL> TheNu1: i do not know can you paste some of the errors you are getting ?? also do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' in a free terminal to see what may be happening (btw setserial -a /dev/ttySn gives the information)
[05:30] <azzgo1> pandamonium: everything
[05:30] <fyrestrtr> tripitaka: the username and password you created during setup.
[05:31] <tripitaka> !
[05:31] <tripitaka> astonishing :D
[05:31] <pandamonium> azzgo1, could there be a hardware problem?
[05:31] <erUSUL> walck: System>Admin>Users and groups
[05:31] <tripitaka> amazingly it works, thanks
[05:31] <azzgo1> pandamonium: yes, i think i could, but how can i identify what exactly causes the thing?
[05:32] <pandamonium> azzgo1, try running some diagnostics such as those found on Ultimate Boot CD
[05:32] <thedash> I use Beep Media Player, and just recently it started crashing a lot, it just closes in the middle of a song :S
[05:32] <zardinuk> so I can't figure this ubuntu out, where are all the frickin init scripts? I can't start/restart samba
[05:32] <azzgo1> pandamonium: "Ultimate Boot CD"?
[05:32] <walck> erUSUL: got error: Failed to run users-admin as user root: Failed to fork new process: No such file or directory
[05:32] <erUSUL> zardinuk: /etc/init.d/ who would have said it, eh??
[05:33] <cyberfall> ummm.... any help on compilein mplayer it crashes on compile with xvid installed i had it kinda compile before i compile xvid in but now i dont know how to remove xvid
[05:33] <fyrestrtr> zardinuk: make sure you have samba installed, then /etc/init.d/samba restart
[05:33] <zardinuk> erUSUL: I have /etc/samba/smb.conf, but no /etc/init.d/samba
[05:33] <pandamonium> azzgo1, Yes, it's an iso that you boot into and it gives access to a number of tests
[05:33] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: why are you compiling it? You just need to install the codecs.
[05:33] <fyrestrtr> zardinuk: install the server component.
[05:33] <pandamonium> azzgo1, also, have you set a CPU temperature alarm in the BIOS?
[05:33] <zardinuk> pandamonium, erUSUL: how do you search for packages from the command line?
[05:33] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:33] <cyberfall> cause i couldnt find it in the synapic package managaer
[05:33] <fyrestrtr> zardinuk: apt-cache search foo
[05:34] <zardinuk> ah, thank you!
[05:34] <azzgo1> pandamonium: there is no problem with my cpu cooling, where doi get this iso image from?
[05:34] <cyberfall> and i cant find mplayer in it
[05:34] <erUSUL> zardinuk: apt-cache search
[05:34] <cyberfall> i only see kmplayer
[05:34] <pandamonium> azzgo1, GIYF ;)
[05:34] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: enable universe and multiverse repos.
[05:34] <azzgo1> pandamonium: and is thereany way of bootin it without burning it?
[05:34] <pandamonium> azzgo1, you need to burn it to a CD and then boot straight from it
[05:34] <cyberfall> umm i dont see them i got all but the comercail repos enabled
[05:34] <Djainette> Hello all. I've tried to install edgy yesterday, but my X won't work. I have an error loading font 'fixed'. Does anyone have a clue ?
[05:35] <fyrestrtr> !universe > cyberfall
[05:35] <azzgo1> pandamonium: yeah, i know, tought there is a way to boot it from grub/lilo or something
[05:35] <zardinuk> ok, so /etc/samba/smb.conf is there but samba server is not installed... that is confusing
[05:35] <fyrestrtr> !info mplayer

[05:35] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: you don't have multiverse enabled :)
[05:35] <mikeo1> where is the startup gnome settings script file
[05:35] <cyberfall> umm let me lookie
[05:35] <pandamonium> there's no good running it using an OS as it will interfere with stuff that the OS is allocated
[05:35] <erUSUL> zardinuk: conf files will not be deleted unless you use the --purge option
[05:36] <fyrestrtr> mikeo1: system > preferences > session, then the startup tab.
[05:36] <zardinuk> smb.conf came with the fresh install
[05:36] <erUSUL> Djainette: go to #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[05:36] <fyrestrtr> zardinuk: that's because its there for the smb client support.
[05:36] <pandamonium> azzgo1, I take it you don't have access to a burner on a functional system?
[05:36] <Djainette> erUSUL: thanks
[05:36] <debianos__> hello
[05:36] <erUSUL> Djainette: no problem
[05:37] <azzgo1> pandamonium: yeah, arent the applications runnable from a linux box?
[05:37] <thedash> are there any media players for Ubuntu that don't suck?
[05:37] <cyberfall> ubuntu 6.06 lts (binary) community maintained (universe) offcially supported restricted copyright is on
[05:37] <kaypax> hi all, can any1 pls recomend me a good web authoring tool?
[05:37] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: again, enable *multiverse*
[05:37] <pandamonium> azzgo1, AFAIK it needs to run standalone
[05:37] <erUSUL> thedash: i'm quite happy with xine and mplayer
[05:38] <pandamonium> thedash, I quite like VLC
[05:38] <Ignite_> thedash, yes plenty.
[05:38] <fyrestrtr> kaypax: nvu, quanta or screem
[05:38] <frogzoo> thedash: gxine's vid quality is excellent once you tune it up
[05:38] <kaypax> thanx
[05:38] <H080J03> how do you tell what version of the linux kernal you are running?
[05:38] <cyberfall> fyrestrtr,  i dont see one sorry
[05:38] <fyrestrtr> !multiverse
[05:38] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[05:38] <erUSUL> H080J03: uname -r
[05:38] <H080J03> thank you
[05:38] <frogzoo> H080J03: lsbrelease -a
[05:38] <Ignite_> thedash, if you are looking for recommendations then Amarok is my favorite. :-)
[05:38] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: see the link that ubotu typed out.
[05:38] <thedash> how do I see what hardware drivers I have?
[05:39] <fyrestrtr> thedash: why?
[05:39] <erUSUL> thedash: ls -R /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-k7/kernel/*
[05:39] <cyberfall>  mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[05:39] <cyberfall> that all i seen from it
[05:39] <cyberfall> oh k
[05:39] <thedash> because I think my Seagate SATA is conflicting with some drivers, specifically the Sil 311* ones
[05:39] <frogzoo> thedash: lsmod for what's currently running
[05:40] <fyrestrtr> thedash: lsmod will tell you what is loaded.
[05:40] <debianos__>  ineed help for server ftp
[05:40] <cyberfall> fyrestrtr, wich one
[05:40] <cyberfall> i see 2
[05:40] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: *sigh* read both.
[05:40] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: you need all the information you can get.
[05:41] <cyberfall> fyrestrtr,  how true hehe
[05:41] <cyberfall> sorry so use to red hat and suse
[05:41] <fyrestrtr> I'm sure you had to read there too :)
[05:41] <cyberfall> naw stumb in there and killed the kernal a few times
[05:41] <thedash> lsmod doesn't give me mcuh info though, other than the filesize of the item?
[05:42] <xopher> segfault_, could not find out what was causing this, my debian/control file is just as it should be.
[05:42] <lastnode> thedash, lsmod lists the kernel modules you have installed
[05:42] <cyberfall> suse and red hat had a easy program (yast for suse and red hat i dont remember
[05:42] <segfault_> paste in pastebin
[05:42] <segfault_> xopher, paste in pastebin
[05:42] <walck> ok, as I said earlier, I've changed too many permissions, but I can'
[05:42] <bones> !info xgl
[05:42] <ubotu> Package xgl does not exist in any distro I know
[05:42] <thedash> lastnode:: can I look into it more though?
[05:42] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: synaptic is the equivalent for ubuntu
[05:43] <walck> can't troubleshoot and find which files that are wrong and stopping me from doing anything
[05:43] <fyrestrtr> !xgl > bones
[05:43] <xopher> segfault_, sure, Ill need to recompile it first, to get the error again..
[05:43] <bones> thanks
[05:43] <walck> at the moment my normal user can't even create processes, that is kind of a big issue :)
[05:43] <thenakedcowboy> hey all
[05:43] <pandamonium> azzgo1, how many memory modules have you in your system?
[05:43] <azzgo1> pandamonium: 2
[05:43] <cyberfall> ya but it dont have the hardware control etc stuff built into it to just pop in and install like red hat has
[05:44] <cyberfall> u got a device manager but that it
[05:44] <graveson> what can i use to convert my audio(mp3,wav, and rm) to psp format
[05:44] <fyrestrtr> graveson: mplayer
[05:45] <pandamonium> azzgo1, have you tried systematically removing them? I'm not an expert by any means, I'm just going from a similar experience I had on my dozy box
[05:45] <erUSUL> walck: i'm afraid that you are alone here becouse ony you now what you messed with what comands you run etc... only you can undo what you have done
[05:45] <azzgo1> pandamonium: havent tried it, ill try it if it crashes when i start wow this time
[05:45] <walck> I know what I've ran to a quite great extence, but I have no clue of how to undo a chmod :)
[05:45] <pandamonium> azzgo1, I found that my modules were perfectly functional but the motherboard had developed some kind of addressing fault.
[05:46] <fyrestrtr> walck: you just set it back to what they were previously.
[05:46] <mythril> anyone know where I can look at the release schedule for Ubuntu?
[05:46] <fyrestrtr> !schedule > mythril
[05:47] <cyberfall> fyrestrtr,  what is Canonical
[05:47] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: the company that makes ubuntu
[05:47] <M_A_K> Can anybody point me to a how-to on granting a user (non sudo'er) the right to run netowrk-admin module?
[05:47] <lastnode> fyrestrtr, that's kind of incorrect
[05:47] <cyberfall> umm cool oks
[05:47] <walck> fyrestrtr: yeah, but that's kinda the problem I suppose, how do I find out what it was earlier? if I run random chmod o-rx *, I don't know which files were supposed to have rx and which wasn't supposed too
[05:47] <zardinuk> how do I log in to samba with the [homes]  share? I used to turn on plain text passwords in windows, but isn't there a way to use the native encryption with samba? Is that what I should be looking for?
[05:47] <lastnode> cyberfall, Canonical funds several ubuntu core team developers. they also own the trademarks. but ubuntu is really "developed" by hundreds of people from all over the world.
[05:47] <eurytus> M_A_K, start by googling "visudo"
[05:47] <mythril> fyrestrtr: thanks
[05:48] <thedash> any way I can see which version of a specific driver I have?
[05:48] <eurytus> M_A_K, or just reading the man page for it
[05:48] <MetaMorfoziS> if i'm install xp
[05:48] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i restore grub?
[05:48] <erUSUL> !grub
[05:48] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:49] <MetaMorfoziS> oh, cool. thx.
[05:49] <cyberfall> lastnode,  ya i knew that
[05:49] <cyberfall> open source rocks
[05:49] <cyberfall> but still it has to be maintaind by someone
[05:49] <walck> I know this problem will prolly bug me for infinity, but right now I need support with those more critical parts, like what parts of the / filesystem that gets read/written to when a process is forked or created, anyone know info at that level?
[05:49] <lastnode> cyberfall, er, it's maintained by many developers, lke i said
[05:50] <M_A_K> OK, thanx
[05:50] <erUSUL> walck: /var/,  /tmp/, /proc/ ...
[05:50] <picochu> walck,  for a start /proc
[05:51] <cyberfall> lastnode,  yes but still it kinda owned by the main devopler that started the project but it open source to others to make sure it stays up to date right
[05:51] <lastnode> cyberfall, the code itself is not owned at all. it's all GPLed (well everything in universe iirc). so if you wanted to, you could take it now and call it 'Cyberfall Linux' , as long as you released any changes you made
[05:51] <cyberfall> and if there any comerial software put in cause u paid for it that has to be kept up by someone ??
[05:52] <erUSUL> !offtopic
[05:52] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:52] <lastnode> cyberfall, Canonical only "owns" the Ubuntu name, and that is so that we cant take a fork and call it Ubuntu 8.08 for example
[05:52] <lastnode> erUSUL, yes my bad. it started ontopic though ;-)
[05:52] <cyberfall> ok
[05:52] <LjL> lastnode: you mean, like Mozilla does? *ducks*
[05:52] <lastnode> cyberfall, join me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:52] <lastnode> LjL, :D
[05:52] <picochu> erUSUL, are u sure /var and /temp get read/write in all cases?
[05:52] <cyberfall> lastnode,  na that ok i got your point
[05:53] <frogzoo> lastnode: did they trademark Ubunut ?
[05:53] <cyberfall> fyrestrtr, btw thx for your help
[05:53] <walck> thanks erUSUL + picochu, I'll look some at those :)
[05:53] <lastnode> frogzoo, well the bottom of the wiki says something along those lines (IANAL)
[05:53] <cyberfall> this place helped more then most #linux channels do..
[05:53] <bsdfox> anyone know an easy way to convert a bunch of .ifo/.vob files to xvid?
[05:54] <picochu> cyberfall, #gentoo ppl are pretty friendly too
[05:54] <erUSUL> picochu: not in all cases but many processes has lock files logs etc /var/log/, /var/run/, tmp files and unix sockets in /tmp/ etc
[05:54] <LjL> cyberfall: more like in, ten times more? but ten times zero is zero
[05:54] <picochu> cyberfall,  can't say the same for the ppl in debian :P
[05:54] <cyberfall> bsdfox,  im lookin for something that will convert from xvid to dvd
[05:54] <picochu> erUSUL,  precisely.. that's what i thought
[05:54] <Bluecandy> hi
[05:55] <Bluecandy> i need help:
[05:55] <fyrestrtr> cyberfall: k3b will do that.
[05:55] <picochu> erUSUL,  then u might as well add /etc
[05:55] <LjL> Bluecandy: we know that - this is a support channel ;-) what do you need help with?
[05:55] <Bluecandy> i cant boot (k)ubuntu edgy since the first knot. i get a MMCONFIG bios error, but thats on much distros, it takes a minute and its fine (fixed in 2.6.18) but after that i get "cant read/access on hda" or something. i have a s-ata
[05:55] <Bluecandy> i am booting from desktop cd
[05:55] <cyberfall> well most of the time i ask something in undernets #linux channel i get told read the MAN page which is like reading a physis book and get little to nothing out of it

[05:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 915 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:56] <erUSUL> picochu: in /etc/ most things are ro except /etc/mtab an very few other things. in a well layouted unix system it should be posible to have / /usr in a read only file system...

[05:59] <zmeiat_joro> hey guys, I've been tyring for two days now to get some stuff from my old windows machine to my new one with ubuntu and I installed and configured samba but still nothign
[06:00] <cyberfall> is there much diffrents between opendivx and regular dvix
[06:00] <cyberfall> is there much diffrents between opendivx and regular divx
[06:00] <kothz> after 13 minutes I would have ripped the hard drive out of the old windows box, slaved it to your ubuntu drive, and just copied the data :)
[06:00] <harisund> zmeiat_joro: I guess you could try and get samba workin, but otherwise, you have plenty other methods of data transfer, kothz's method being one of them .
[06:00] <Yaakov> zmeiat_joro: Install PuTTY on your Windows machine and use scp.
[06:00] <Sobek> if you have an usb stick at hand, use that :D
[06:00] <kothz> There are more fun methods, but most of them require a soldering gun :)
 done it
[06:01] <cyberfall> scp is ok
[06:01] <harisund> whoa kothz! let's stick to software methods :)
