[15:56] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> you are missing a  "/"   after modules  ...modules2.6.27..
[15:56] <whynot> gnutron/ I gotta go now.  It's not important I think.  let's drop it.
[15:56] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok, i will look at the pastebin, hang on
[15:56] <francisc1701> hi, I'm getting "An installation step failed <bla bla>" while building chroot. I'm using the intrepid alternate cd -- both the image's and the cd's md5sum are ok. Any ideas?
[15:56] <francisc1701> oh and i selected "install ltsp server" when I booted the cd
[15:56] <AndreasMadrid> ah
[15:56] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: my mistake then, you need the full path
[15:57] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i am an advanced linux user... but debugging ubuntu/apt-get is not my thing
[15:57] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser even with / same error
[15:57] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok..  have you tried making the /boot directory?
[15:57] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: use pwd to get the directory
[15:57] <hebrsh> there is boot and an empty /grub
[15:57] <hebrsh> uu /boot/grub
[15:58] <hebrsh> it even contains now the vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic etc
[15:58] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> paste the results of    ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/updates; sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/updates/ath5k
[15:58] <iminhell> mker:  Sadly they have tried, and failed. I keep getting the same responses everywhere, install XXX codec. lol Tried that more than a few times with no change. I'm lost.   hey, you responded. More than i can say for some. ty
[15:58] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid: i'm back, the path should be ok, i have ath5k.ko there, did you install backports?
[15:58] <edlv> i connected my usb hard drive,. but it is not recognised. any help, please?
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> mker what flavor of ubuntu are you running
[15:59] <mker> iminhell, very strange problem, dvds should play without problems. Do you get the same thing when trying to play a "normal" video?
[15:59] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok. what happens if you do   dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
[15:59] <FFForever> any ideas on why my svideo out wouldbe black and white only
[15:59] <FFForever> ?
[15:59] <mker> Jack_Sparrow, Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64, are you sure you meant to ask me though? :)
[15:59] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic is broken or not fully installed
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> mker our having the video issue right
[15:59] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: with -7 it works
[15:59] <mker> Jack_Sparrow, that's iminhell
[15:59] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95188/
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[15:59] <iminhell> mker:  no. normal video (like downloaded from youtube) plays just fine, full audio perfect picture. Just strange.
[16:00] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser, luks911 I tried again with .ko
[16:00] <MrCollins> *sigh*
[16:00] <iminhell> Jack: 8.10
[16:00] <iminhell> -7
[16:00] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser, luks911 now it says there's an unknown symbol in module
[16:00] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok.. i know how to fix this with a sledg hammer... but it is psossible someone else might know a better way than me. if you want me to pull out the sledge hammer i will
[16:01] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: if hammer != reinstall give me the hammer
[16:01] <mker> iminhell, if you're playing videos in youtube that's not the same since that plays in flash plugin (correct me if I'm wrong anyone). don't you have any movies that aren't in dvd format to try?
[16:01] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid: could you paste the error?
[16:01] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok.. here goes..  go into your /var/lib/dpkg dir
[16:01] <AndreasMadrid> sure
[16:02] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier:
[16:02] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: yes
[16:02] <Walty> hello guys! I have a question .. I have now Ubuntu 8.10 and would like to install window xp as dual boot for gaming. If I install windows it will right the loader over grub right? Do I then have to boot up with the ubuntu 8.10 live cd and put ubuntu to the loader?
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: then be certain to make a backup of the following file..  status
[16:02] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: yes
[16:02] <iminhell> mker: one sec. Think I have one in my photobucket that is a .mov. That work?
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: now open the status file with an editor, such as vim
[16:03] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: go on :(
[16:03] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: go on :)
[16:03] <mker> iminhell, I don't know, maybe, I'm pretty much guessing by now :)
[16:03] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: and what the output of uname -r ?
[16:03] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok, one sec.. i don't want to go too fast here
[16:04] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, recon69: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95190/
[16:04] <iminhell> mker: lol it's flash anyway. i have nothing on this machine though. It's a brand new install.

[16:04] <n8tuser> AndreasMadrid-> try to use  ath9k    lets see if that makes a difference
[16:05] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: do a search on  linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic  ... keep searching on that until you get to the area that shows the actual status of the package. you will see a line for it like so,  Status: install ok installed
[16:05] <jojo1224> edvl: upgrade to 8.10 or atleast 8.04
[16:05] <pumpkinseed> can someone help me install vlc 0.9.8a on my ubuntu 8.10 64bit installation? It seems like the only version I can get is 0.9.4
[16:05] <AndreasMadrid> n8tuser same result
[16:05] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: got it
[16:05] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: what does the status show for it... ? i'm just curious
[16:05] <hebrsh> Status: install ok installed

[16:06] <onetinsoldier> not*
[16:06] <mker> pumpkinseed, did you try http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html ?
[16:06] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: I have a link that may help http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[16:06] <klod> Bonsoir tout le monde :)
[16:07] <Poring> Hello guys
[16:07] <AndreasMadrid> recon69 thanks for the link
[16:07] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: is there a possibility to force the delete from the package manager and just reinstall it?
[16:08] <AndreasMadrid> recon69, n8tun late for meser thank you for your help. I will read the page. but now i gotta go....  without having the problem solved. But it's gotte
[16:08] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: yes.. in that file you completely erase the area for that package... just that package only
[16:08] <filipegatti> hello there! someone here uses ayttm? i'm using it as MSN client and everytime someone is chatting with me, the person's windows just freezes for some seconds.
[16:09] <AndreasMadrid> thank you
[16:09] <AndreasMadrid> bye
[16:09] <Poring> You talking about atheros
[16:09] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: well good luck with it :)
[16:09] <PrebenR> filipegarcia, have you tried pidgin=?
[16:09] <AndreasMadrid> thx
[16:09] <Poring> Wait andrea
[16:09] <AndreasMadrid> thx, recon69
[16:09] <mker> filipegarcia, is there a reason for you using ayttm and not Pidgin which comes by default with Ubuntu?
[16:09] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: if there are like 15 lines describing that package, delete those 15 lines
[16:09] <Poring> i got the same wireless just got it wrking
[16:09] <Psi-Jack> Okay. For getting /FULL/ 3D acceleration support in Ubuntu 8.10, do I need to install the xorg-driver-fglrx package?
[16:09] <Poring> working like a charm*
[16:09] <AndreasMadrid> poring yes
[16:09] <Psi-Jack> For an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro
[16:09] <Poring> i'll give the link to walk through i used
[16:10] <AndreasMadrid> poring thank you
[16:10] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: done now just an apt-get install?
[16:10] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: but make certain this is for the.... Package: linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
[16:10] <PrebenR> filipegatti, have you tried pidgin?
[16:10] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: yes.. try it
[16:10] <Poring> http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/rhwireless.html
[16:10] <Poring> it speaks of all distros\
[16:10] <filipegatti> mker, well, its lighter? :-D
[16:10] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: this make take some time... you may get more errors now from apt/dpkg
[16:10] <filipegatti> PrebenR, the same, is lighter I guess
[16:10] <a_n_d_r_e> if I want to install a new audio card, do I have to do anything in ubuntu or is it plug and play?
[16:10] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, recon69, poring i just know that last time i had to do it, someone helped me and it icluded make and make isntall
[16:10] <Poring> there is handy explanation for ubuntu as well\using wireless atm :) so fair to say its a good guide
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Promille what card is that for
[16:10] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier:   linux-headers-generic: Depends: linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic but it is not going to be installed
[16:10] <PrebenR> filipegatti, you mean it freezes in pidgin too?
[16:11] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid: http://aqeeliz.com/2008/09/21/atheros-ar5007eg-on-linux/ another way
[16:11] <JoVoa> .
[16:11] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, recon69, poring i just know that last time i had to do it, someone helped me and it icluded make and make isntall
[16:11] <mker> filipegarcia, if you really really need it being light maybe check out empathy or telepathy (I forget which is which) then. It's very basic.
[16:11] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: something is working now
[16:11] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: apt-get install --force-yes install linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
[16:11] <filipegatti> PrebenR, no, is as I said to the other guy, attym is lighter than Pidgin, that's why I prefer it.
[16:11] <Poring> basicly u need to get aptitude install linux-backports-modules-hardy
[16:11] <recon69> AndreasMadrid: well, the unknown symbol make me think the driver you have is compiled again the wrong kernel, so a build would fix that
[16:11] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: do that only if needed!
[16:11] <Poring> oops*
[16:11] <Poring> change hardy with intrepid ofc
[16:11] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, recon69, poring haha, ok, that's now three sites. hope one of them will be of help. thank you
[16:12] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid: in this case (http://aqeeliz.com/2008/09/21/atheros-ar5007eg-on-linux/) first disable all wifi drivers in use
[16:12] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i did the -f install option... and this brings me back to the same error as before :'(
[16:12] <PrebenR> filipegatti, you should as at the attym mailinglist : http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/mls.shtml
[16:12] <Poring> Guys i come with
[16:12] <Poring> a question
[16:12] <mker> Poring, Please keep your question in *one* message. It makes it easier for us to read and increases your chances of getting an answer.
[16:13] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, recon69 ok, a new build next time i enter here i will ask how to do that, if none of the now four pages will help
[16:13] <filipegatti> PrebenR, yep. I think i'm going over it, but I though someone could possibly just had the same problem. Thanks anyway.
[16:13] <Psi-Jack> Anyone? ATI support in Linux/Ubuntu to get full 3D acceleration, does it need the xorg-driver-fglrx package for an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro?
[16:13] <AndreasMadrid> luks911, poring, recon69 thank you again. bye
[16:13] <PrebenR> filipegatti, there are also some ncurses clients
[16:13] <Luks911> AndreasMadrid: bye
[16:13] <umar> hi i am unable to open usb HDD through ubuntu kindly suggest
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Psi-Jack I thought that used aiglx.. not fglrx, bt then I have not used ati for awhile
[16:13] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: are you getting   Package linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic is not configured yet. ?
[16:14] <Miscc>  hello is there some program or script to allow only some countries make connection into my server and prevent other countries from connecting to my server in deffirent ports ??
[16:14] <PrebenR> filipegatti, http://freshmeat.net/search?q=msn+client&section=projects
[16:14] <nicklas__> yo
[16:14] <hebrsh> hebrsh: yes... it happens after any install
[16:14] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: yes... it happens after any install
[16:14] <Poring> i am having some problems with my video cad, SIS  771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter, right now i got  1280x768 resolution with vesa driver, but i would like 3d support for my laptop, any one might know of a solution for this ?
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Miscc that isnt reall a ubuntu support qestion, perhaps ask in #apache or ubuntu-server
[16:14] <Psi-Jack> Jack_Sparrow: Hmmm. Nor I, but I'm loaded up with Second Life and it's not allowing me full graphics options.
[16:14] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: are you getting the same exact errors as you put in the pastebin?
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Poring 3d on an sis.. not likel
[16:15] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: yes
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Psi-Jack under wine or native under linux
[16:15] <Psi-Jack> Jack_Sparrow: Native under Linux.
[16:15] <PrebenR> I have a problem with umask 077. When multiple users should have rw access to files in a folder (f.ex) photos from a camera, I always end up with permission trouble. I'm considering changing umask to 007 unless there is a better way
[16:15] <PrebenR> any ideas?
[16:16] <Poring> Jack_Sparrow though as much from read the 1000 topics today, but this looked like my last hope to come and ask you guys, cause some peopel were secsefull but they did not post a "HOWTO"
[16:16] <umar> its giving me error of unable to mount
[16:16] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Funny story. Adding that line to my interfaces almost killed my computer. Performance went through the floor and the fan was going like crazy.
[16:16] <umar> nny solution dear
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience > umar
[16:16] <Poring> Would a sis 2d driver change my user expiriece compared to using the vesa driver ?
[16:16] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Had to boot into recovery mode and edit the file to remove the line in order to get a usable system
[16:17] <DRMacIver> n8tuser: Anyway, I've got to go now. Thanks for your help.
[16:17] <lexrex> my screen (on external monitor for my eeepc 1000h) just went blank when i played some music -- i can't get my screen to show since i used xrandr to send all visual to the external monitor
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Poring I would think if anyone really had it working the would post how they did it.
[16:17] <lexrex> anything i can do to reset the display
[16:17] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: you need to look in the /var/dpkg/status file again... make 100% certain that you are at the correct package. whatever package is is giving the message... "is not configured yet." shold NOT show a status of -->Status: install ok installed  ...it shold show as something else
[16:18] <edlv>  ubottu: umar, please see my private message.
[16:18] <edlv> i asked the same help and i didnt get a help.
[16:18] <onetinsoldier> shold = should
[16:18] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh:  shold = should
[16:18] <Poring> Jack_Sparrow okay thank you , i will try and search for a solution another day. Have a good day gents
[16:18] <lexrex> isn't there a hot-key to get my basic screen back
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> lexrex try ctrl-alt-F2 and see if you get a term
[16:19] <lexrex> or a hot-key to get to a terminal
[16:19] <[Spooky]> How secure is the 8.10 without a firewall installed?
[16:19] <lexrex> Jack_Sparrow, i might have a term, but i can't see it
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> [Spooky] very, most users make things worse b tring to improve it
[16:20] <Makdaam> hello, where's the PolicyKit file for HAL in Ubuntu?
[16:20] <lexrex> i am blind
[16:20] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: i am pretty sure it show up as something like   Status: install ok half-configured ...however i could be wrong. anyway, make sure you are at the correct package
[16:20] <[Spooky]> Jack_Sparrow: Ah ok thanks.
[16:20] <lexrex> but the sound is continuing
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> lexrex boot up a live cd...  and fix it, would be my first thought
[16:20] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i'm now trying if it installs after purge
[16:20] <MindVirus> Hi.
[16:20] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok
[16:21] <MindVirus> I already have Ubuntu, but I'd like to figure out for the future the best way to do this.
[16:21] <lexrex> i can power down and all will be well -- but i had a lot of unsaved code open
[16:21] <MindVirus> I want to split my / and /home.
[16:21] <mker> MindVirus, Please keep your question in *one* message. It makes it easier for us to read and increases your chances of getting an answer.
[16:21] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: POSITIVE
[16:21] <lexrex> plus i hate to power down ubuntu -- and the computer is running fine
[16:21] <MindVirus> mker, sorry.
[16:21] <mker> MindVirus, when you install and come to the partition stage you can do it there. really simple.
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok, i read you
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> [Spooky] it goes back to Windows thinking.. just not reall an issue
[16:21] <MindVirus> mker, I know.
[16:21] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: so how can i get grub restalled
[16:21] <MindVirus> mker, but I would like to know what's the best size ratio.
[16:21] <lexrex> o.k., i was able to get a terminal with ctl+alt f2
[16:22] <lexrex> no x
[16:22] <umar> i have read the message
[16:22] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: what state is grub in? what does it show as if you do  dpkg -l grub  ?
[16:22] <lexrex> if i run xrandr i get " can't open display"
[16:22] <pumpkinseed> does anyone have the repository for the new version of VLC (version 0.9.8a)? A deb file for ubuntu 8.10 64bit would also do the trick.
[16:22] <Psi-Jack> Anyone here using Linux with an ATI video card? I need specific details on it.
[16:22] <pumpkinseed> does anyone have the repository for the new version of VLC (version 0.9.8a)? A deb file for ubuntu 8.10 64bit would also do the trick.
[16:22] <Makdaam> MindVirus: / should have enough space for all your binaries and /home should have enough space for all documents, configs, logs, movies, music etc.
[16:22] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
[16:22] <MindVirus> Makdaam, thanks, but I know. What I don't know is "enough space".
[16:22] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: not that line tho
[16:23] <MindVirus> I was thinking 32GB for / and the rest for /home.
[16:23] <mker> MindVirus, /home is where you keep most of your stuff, / is used for the OS and the programs you install so it kind of depends on what programs you do install. I used to have 5 gb for /, maybe you need more, maybe you'll wase 1-2 gb on that.
[16:23] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i'm going to try the purge thing here too
[16:23] <Makdaam> MindVirus: noone knows that :) depends on what you want to install
[16:23] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: the last line it gives you. and what about the kernel package problem. is it fixed yet?
[16:23] <PrebenR> lexrex, was it the external that went blank?
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> MindVirus how much total space on the drive for ubuntu
[16:23] <lexrex> PrebenR, yes
[16:23] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: kernel seems to be fixed but the grub deps are not in /boot/grub yet
[16:23] <MindVirus> Jack_Sparrow, you're asking how big my single Ubuntu partition is right now?
[16:23] <recon69> upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 got the video driver going for my nvidia 6600 , but it's slow , moving windows leaves trails of white behind , is this normal?
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok, roger
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !home > MindVirus
[16:24] <PrebenR> do a: ps ux
[16:24] <[Spooky]> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, is there a log over system events?
[16:24] <PrebenR> lexrex in the teerminal
[16:24] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: is there somethting ubuntish for grub-install ?
[16:24] <MindVirus> Holy crap.
[16:24] <PrebenR> lexrex, then kill the music program
[16:24] <lexrex> the external is blank -- but when i hit ctl+alt+f7 adn go to X, i hear the monitor going active (it is a crt) but it is all black
[16:24] <Steven2> hm
[16:24] <MindVirus> I'm a programmer. I know how Linux works, very well.
[16:24] <MindVirus> I'm looking for size advice.
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: if the grub package is installed then you just run...  update-grub
[16:24] <PrebenR> lexrex, then try Ctrl-Alt-F7
[16:25] <danub> how can i tell how fast my wireless is connected?
[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> MindVirus 30 is plenty for /
[16:25] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: update-grub doesn't put stage1/2 in there
[16:25] <danub> i dont see the speed listed in the knetworkmanager
[16:25] <rhalff> how to install a .deb file with dependencies ?
[16:25] <mker> MindVirus, as I said it depends on what you plan on installing. 30gb sounds like *a lot* to me, but it might be right for you.
[16:25] <pumpkinseed> does anyone have the repository for the new version of VLC (version 0.9.8a)? A deb file for ubuntu 8.10 64bit would also do the trick.
[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> MindVirus if you have room to spare split out /var as well to keep debs off /
[16:25] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: do you have a /boot/grub directory?
[16:25] <mker> pumpkinseed, did you try http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html ?
[16:25] <rhalff> dpkg -i my.deb won't install dependencies, and apt-get install my.deb won't recognize the .deb
[16:25] <jrib> rhalff: why aren't you using the repositories?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> rhalff: sudo apt-get install <deb file>; sudo apt-get -f install
[16:26] <rhalff> jrgp, because I made my own package
[16:26] <jrib> rhalff: double click on it
[16:26] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i mkdir'ed it
[16:26] <danub> is there a command i can use to see the speed?
[16:26] <MindVirus> Alright.
[16:26] <rhalff> jrib, from the console
[16:26] <MindVirus> So 30GB is enough.
[16:26] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: wiat.. i am actually much more used to plain debian, hang on
[16:26] <lexrex> PrebenR, i launched aol radio from firefox -- so i killed firefox the music stopped but still no display for x
[16:26] <Jack_Sparrow> rhalff if it is from our repos and you are using apt-get aptitude or synaptic, they are handled.. if you go outside our repos, you get to chase them ourself
[16:26] <lianimator> How do I make a local apache server accessible by other people outside my network (internet). I am behiind a router. I need to listen on port 8080.. correct path?
[16:26] <pumpkinseed> mker: yes
[16:27] <lexrex> when i hit ctl+alt+f7
[16:27] <pumpkinseed> mker: are you familiar with vlc?
[16:27] <lexrex> (even though i do hear the monitor continuing to get a signal)
[16:27] <mker> pumpkinseed, yes
[16:27] <PrebenR> lexrex, ok
[16:27] <MindVirus> Thanks, mker and Jack_Sparrow.
[16:27] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: doh... i don't have grub installed here...
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> lianimator   #apache  or ubuntu-server channels can help
[16:27] <PrebenR> lexrex, wait to think
[16:27] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: we are getting somewhere on this side
[16:27] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ahhh, good! :-)
[16:27] <MindVirus> Another question: are /home, /var, and /etc all the places that user-modified files typically are?
[16:27] <dexkent> i've installed the soundblaster x-fi driver but it doesn't appear in my sound preferences
[16:27] <jrib> rhalff: gdebi
[16:28] <MindVirus> At least, /var/www.
[16:28] <PrebenR> lexrex, how do you switch to external display?
[16:28] <lexrex> PrebenR, i think i might have overloaded resources . . . i am still playing a screencast with the default movie player
[16:28] <lexrex> PrebenR, xrandr
[16:28] <pumpkinseed> mker: they simply tell you to have the multiverse or universe repositories checked, but that is a crock of s**t. Even with those repositories on you only get version 0.9.4
[16:28] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: and i just fu again... but i'll replay the log now
[16:28] <rhalff> jrib, thanks :)
[16:28] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: after making the /boot/grub dir you cop the stage files over from the /usr/share/doc/grub-common or some such dir
[16:28] <lexrex> i have a shell script that uses xrandr
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > pumpkinseed
[16:28] <lexrex> i have set_local.sh and set_external.sh
[16:28] <PrebenR> lexrex, you do not have a shortcut to open an xterm or terminal in X?
[16:29] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i removed the wrong /boot/boot again
[16:29] <pumpkinseed> i redacted the language
[16:29] <PrebenR> lexrex, if you had you could have typed the xrandr command "blind"
[16:29] <lexrex> PrebenR, not that i know -- i was trying to alt-tab and type in set_local
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> pumpkinseed Still unacceptable
[16:29] <dexkent> anyone using soundblaster?
[16:29] <lexrex> i might have closed my terminal
[16:29] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: roger
[16:29] <PrebenR> lexrex, what program did you use to code in?
[16:29] <lexrex> emacs
[16:30] <lexrex> and i could get into the shell in emacs -- but don't know how to ensure i am in that app
[16:30] <[theron]> how do i change the write speed for my cd recorder using ubuntu 8.04?
[16:30] <PrebenR> lexrex pity, if it was vim, you would have had a swap file to recover to
[16:30] <pumpkinseed> you know what is unacceptable? repositories that have versions up to a year old and websites that tell you to get the program from the repositories. Its like a wild goose chase to get the newest version of a piece of software.
[16:30] <PrebenR> lexrex, is it gnome desktop you use?
[16:30] <lexrex> yes
[16:30] <Jack_Sparrow> pumpkinseed you are offtopic...
[16:30] <lexrex> with -- i forget the window manager
[16:30] <mker> pumpkinseed, I guess you have to download the source and compile it yourself then. And it's not our fault, we're just here to get help ourselves and/or help others.
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: are you having to try and put grub in /boot/boot ?  it should only need to go into /boot/grub.
[16:31] <Wickk> I keep getting an error when trying to compile Xchat that GTK+ is incorrectly installed and  I don't know how to reinstall it. WHats the name of the lib I need?
[16:31] <PrebenR> lexrex, I use xfce4 so not sure if you have some shortcut in gnome to run a command
[16:31] <lexrex> if i run ps -aux | grep xterm i don't get anything
[16:31] <matisse> whats the reqexp for more than 2 following whitespace elements ?
[16:31] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i used grub-install for it
[16:31] <jrib> Wickk: why on earth are you compiling xchat?  xchat is in the repositories
[16:31] <PrebenR> lexrex, what about emac?
[16:31] <Jack_Sparrow> pumpkinseed the repos will NEVER have the latest version, but they have a tested version that works
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: ok, roger that.
[16:31] <lexrex> yeah it is running
[16:31] <Wickk> jrib: Because it doesn't show up when I search for it
[16:31] <Brack101> I'm trying to switch desktops with compiz while Terminal Server Client is full screen.  I disabled "Legacy full screen support" in compiz and enabled "Enable Window Manager's Key Bindings" in the client...  Now when I switch desktops, it just shows the same window on each desktop and I have to exit fullscreen for it to wok...anyone have any ideas?
[16:31]  * Photoguy likes Ubuntu!  :)
[16:32] <kasanki> how do i install emerald theme ?
[16:32] <kasanki> in ibex
[16:32] <pumpkinseed> mker: i understand. I am just wondering if anyone in here knows of the repositories for the newest version of vlc or a website with the debs for the newest version
[16:32] <PrebenR> lexrex, you checked that the cable is ok? Not fallen halfway out?
[16:32] <jrib> Wickk: so ask THAT question...  Pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search -n xchat
[16:32] <lexrex> yes
[16:32] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: i think i got it
[16:32] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: sweet
[16:32] <lexrex> -- pulled out and put back in
[16:32] <mker> pumpkinseed, there is none afaik. if you want the latest and greatest compile it.
[16:32] <lexrex> not too worried about my code at this point -- more annoyed that i can't fix this
[16:32] <PrebenR> what happens when you close the lid?
[16:33] <PrebenR> have you set it up to do sth?
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: moment of truth will be when you reboot tho..  hehe
[16:33] <pumpkinseed> lol. linux is never going to get anywhere if it stays like this
[16:33] <hebrsh> onetinsoldier: do you have an idea to by default have noapic in there... because i had issues with usb/apic too at boot
[16:33] <melchmon> Hi i have a problem. After I install the nvidia 177 drivers my xorg can't find any devices
[16:33] <hebrsh> but i'll reboot
[16:33] <hebrsh> brb
[16:33] <lexrex> PrebenR, closing the lid doesn't help
[16:34] <qcjn> hi, is there an app like notepad c++, that yu can have multiple tab, an run under it ?
[16:34] <Pupeno> Does anybody know if an AVI may contain the time and date when it was recorded and if so, how do I extract it?
[16:34] <Pupeno> qcjn: gedit?
[16:34] <PrebenR> lexrex, last resort
[16:34] <qcjn> Pupeno: ok, thanks
[16:34] <kristian_> n8tuser (or someone else) : still around? i added 2 lines to "/etc/network/interfaces", "auto wlan0" and "iface wlan0 inet dhcp", and then i did "/etc/init.d/networking restart", then i lost connection (doing over ssh/wlan), so i check the machine and network manager is not running, i do a "reboot", and network manager doesn't seem to be running/finding my added wlan. so i removed the txt and rebooted and now network manager does the job
[16:34] <lexrex> anyone know of a gnome shortcut to get terminal?
[16:34] <gnu2it2> what is a default video format for windows based OS? I have some mp4 my friend cant play
[16:35] <PrebenR> lexrex, try to do a suspend from terminal (C-A-F2) and then disconnect external and then start machine
[16:35] <recon69> wee, going to rebuild my machine again :(
[16:35] <lianimator> if anyone here has ever successfully set up an apache server from behind a router, and made it accessible publicly, please PM me.

[16:35] <mker> lutiusveratius, just ask what yu want to know, if someone has an answer you'll get it.
[16:35] <frenat_43v3r> server irc.knaqu.de
[16:36] <n8tuser> kristian_-> can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces file
[16:36] <lutiusveratius> I have to mount my hdd and gksu gedit command is not working for me
[16:36] <onetinsoldier> hebrsh: you put the line in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file... on the line where it specifies the kernel you put in something like    pci=noacpi    or something. i'd have to read the docs. or there might be a separate line for kernel options where you put it
[16:36] <PrebenR> lexrex, and make a script for turning off external and returning to laptop screen (safe resolutions) so in case it happens again you can recover. I should put thei script to be run from a shortcut
[16:36] <gnu2it2> what is a convert tool for mp4 to wmv ?
[16:36] <mker> sidhrt, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[16:36] <mker> gnu2it2, soundconverter
[16:36] <Pupeno> gnu2it2: probably transcode can do it, but it's not trivial.
[16:36] <lutiusveratius> mker : I have to mount my hdd and gksu gedit command is not working for me
[16:36] <lexrex> PrebenR, good idea -- so i imagine i can create a shortcut key for a shell script?
[16:37] <mker> gnu2it2, or maybe not, don't know if it can convert to wmv
[16:37] <PrebenR> lexrex, sure
[16:37] <mker> lutiusveratius, gksudo
[16:37] <recon69> lutiusveratius: what does it way when you "gksu gedit"
[16:37] <lexrex> any guide on how to do that? -- i'll google in the meantime
[16:37] <PrebenR> lexrex, at least you can in xfce4

[16:37] <lutiusveratius> recon69 and mker : nothing...it doesn't do anything

[16:43] <jopk> hi

[16:53] <kristian_> n8tuser : um no, actually the machine only uses wireless. so should i remove line 1 and 2?
 just go ahead and ask your question someone will help
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> hasibullah: just ask your question, the room will answer
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> linny: oops
[16:54] <jmsthing678> is anyone listening to me Im feeling ignored
[16:54] <darnell> HELLO..
[16:54] <darnell> daemon tools or poweriso for ubuntu?
[16:54] <darnell> or is there another channel i can get my questions answered in?
[16:54] <amikrop_> .sub is a different file format from .srt or just different extension names of the same file format?
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> linny: try  unzip '/home/linny/downloads/nds/*.zip'
[16:54] <hasibullah> i am listening to u
[16:54] <jmsthing678> -.-
[16:54] <mker> sketch_, first make sure you have drivers installed in system -> administration -> hardware drivers. then go to appearance and desktop effects and choose "Extra" (or whichever is more than normal)
  ok thx
[16:54] <amikrop_> .sub is a different file format from .srt or just different extension names of the same file format?
[16:54] <n8tuser> kristian_-> nope, you always must have lo --  what happens now when you do a networking restart?
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> linny: letme know if that works
[16:54] <razaccour> how do i get embed code for protected online streams?
[16:54] <kbrooks> jmsthing678, hi
[16:54] <hasibullah> how can i install antivirus
[16:54] <betel> darnell, you can just mount the iso. mount -o loop -t iso9600 file dir
[16:54] <gnutron> bmeynell: type 'top' in a terminal to see what is using your resources. you're not alone.
[16:55] <darnell> betel...
[16:55] <jmsthing678> kbrooks are you able to help me?
[16:55] <razaccour> how do i get the html code for protected online streams?
[16:55] <darnell> ive successfully installed the game...
[16:55] <mker> hasibullah, clamav is one antivirus for ubuntu, are you sure you need one though? ubuntu doesn't have a virus problem
[16:55] <darnell> when i try to play.. it says insert disk one..
[16:55] <mker> darnell, Please keep your question in *one* message. It makes it easier for us to read and increases your chances of getting an answer.
[16:55] <bazhang> razaccour, which ones and what is your goal
[16:55] <kbrooks> jmsthing678, state your problem
[16:55] <amikrop_> .sub is a different file format from .srt or just different extension names of the same file format?
[16:55] <darnell> obviously i kno whow to mount it.. it just keeps telling me to mount disk one
[16:55] <sketch_> mker ok i turned it on and I have plugins how to I use it now u know the hotkeys ?
[16:55] <betel> darnell, then you need a crack I'd guess. wine often doesn't support DRM
[16:56] <mker> amikrop_, I'm 90% sure they're different. google them if you really really need to know for sure
[16:56] <onetinsoldier> linny: did that work?
[16:56] <jmsthing678> Whenever I log in instead of my desktop loading everything goes white. Everything is fine in failsafe gnome
 YAY it worked cheers
[16:56] <mker> sketch_, ctrl+alt+left (or right to come back :) )
[16:56] <onetinsoldier> linny: cool :-)
[16:56] <razaccour> bazhang, freestreamtv.com is what i'm tryin to get, i wanna put it on my website
[16:56] <amikrop_> mker: ok
[16:56] <ZA8TU> are you here<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:56] <hasibullah> what is the best site to get the good and best pakages
[16:56] <iminhell> alm...:  Studio did the same for me. not sure why, doesn't seem to affect anything badly.  side note, I installed -7 from a live cd, updated (auto) and in the boot menus I got -9 along with the -7.   My guess is it has something to do with dependency.  I was able to remove the unneeded ones via the synaptic, not really needed though.
[16:57] <linny> now i just wait while it unzips 4000 files :)
[16:57] <nicklas__> !pidgin
[16:57] <darnell> betel: i got this off a torrent. its 3 vcd images and i suspect its already cracked. it also game with gamedrive which i cant install on ubuntu. is there another program like it that will
[16:57] <recon69> jmsthing678: did you make any changes to you system before this started?
[16:57] <jmsthing678> i updated
[16:57] <bazhang> razaccour, how does this relate to ubuntu support
[16:57] <nicklas__> !emesene
[16:57] <mker> hasibullah, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html read "Adding and Removing Software"
[16:57] <Happy> neophyte question: how do I search for directories named "jedit" or ".jedit"?
[16:57] <darnell> betel: ive used these same images before on vista and it worked fine.
[16:57] <razaccour> bazhang, i'm looking for software in which i can do this, software for ubuntu
[16:57] <sketch_> i don't have the cube thingy though do I need a specific plugin
[16:57] <andycan> help, i can only install 8.04. All other versions (5.10/7.04/7.10) fail booting from live cd. They throw me to busybox initramfs prompt. 8.04 does not work for my system because lirc modules are broken in there.
[16:58] <bazhang> razaccour, cracking software is not supported here
[16:58] <betel> darnell, if you are using wine check tehir webpage. If they have the game in their AppDB, there might be some tips there
[16:58] <recon69> jmsthing678: well, what video card you got?
[16:58] <ZA8TU> are you here<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:58] <osxdude|laptop> andycan, what about 8.10?

[16:59] <arktvrvs> ive installed flashplugin-nonfree but flash doesnt work, theres not even anything in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree
[16:59] <mker> lesshaste, explain your problem and what you really want to know instead. if someone has an answer you'll get it.
[16:59] <bazhang> hasibullah, use pidgin
[16:59] <gnutron> Happy: try sudo find / -name '*jedit*' it will take awhile
[16:59] <betel> darnell, ah. I'd try wine too
[16:59] <MrCollins> !tweak ubuntu
[16:59] <arktvrvs> !flash
[16:59] <lesshaste> mker, I need to find a way to debug these kernel panics I am getting in intrepid
[16:59] <MrCollins> !tweak
[16:59] <emilien> hasibullah,  there are alternatives like pidgin "already install"
 Whenever I log in instead of my desktop loading everything goes white. Everything is fine in failsafe gnome # sorry cant help
[16:59] <andycan> osxdude|laptop: 8.10 has same problem
[16:59] <lesshaste> mker, it was suggest that kexec/kdump could be a way
[16:59] <Happy> thanks gnutron
[16:59] <bazhang> MrCollins, what are you looking for; please /msg ubottu
[16:59] <alphaaa> hi
[16:59] <almark1> :iminhell pls say that again to me I want to cp it
[17:00] <kristian1> n8tuser : i did "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" over ssh, so i lost connection, and then i went to the machine (at home now), and i had to click the wireless connection again in network manager, so im connected again, nothing more happened that i can see.
[17:00] <almark1> iminhell: pls say that again to me I want to cp it
[17:00] <MrCollins> bazhang: just looking for a way to tweak ubuntu/security harden my box
[17:00] <kbrooks> epswing, What do you mean re using compiz?
[17:00] <alphaaa> is ubuntu secure out of the box or do i have to configure some firewall stuff ?
[17:00] <mker> lesshaste, I don't know the answer but hang in there. If you don't get any help here try the forums (or again a bit later). Good luck!
[17:00] <osxdude|laptop> andycan, you did try redownloading and using the alternate CDs as well, right?
[17:00] <mker> alphaaa, it's secure
[17:00] <jmsthing678> recon69: I have the proprietary drivers installed too so I dont think my graphics card should be the issue
[17:00] <charkee> a

[17:01] <kaiser101231> anyone else have trouble with songbird from deb install?
[17:01] <alphaaa> where do i go to configure which ports are open, forward them, etc ?
[17:01] <Killer--Tux> hello
[17:01] <idejmcd> hey people
[17:01] <lesshaste> mker, ok.. is there a more hacky channel for people into kernel programming?
[17:01] <idejmcd> i need some help, i am a complete nube
[17:01] <kbrooks> lesshaste, #kernelnewbies
[17:01] <pale-yafa> hi, my computer keeps restarting. is that a power supplier issue?
[17:01] <andycan> osxdude|laptop: yes, i have 4 different disks, all of them have worked before but after i upgraded to 8.04 and tried fresh install, i keep having this problem
[17:01] <idejmcd> want to make sure people are listening before i start talking
[17:01] <almark1> iminhell: thanks
[17:01] <gnutron> jmsthing678: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log  it sure looks like a video issue.
[17:01] <MrCollins> pale-yafa: it could be a memory issue or a processor issue
[17:02] <mker> lesshaste, don't think so, at least not an ubuntu specific channel. I'd try the forums if I were you
[17:02] <osxdude|laptop> andycan, is the computer an older computer? And I mean old?
[17:02] <bazhang> MrCollins, you may consider apparmor
[17:02] <emilien> anyone know a ip blocker ?
[17:02] <idejmcd> pale-yafa, run diagnostics on your machine
[17:02] <lesshaste> mker, I see #ubuntu-kernel.. thanks
[17:02] <MrCollins> !apparmor
[17:02] <onetinsoldier> alphaaa: you have to learn how to use 'iptables' or use a front-end to iptables, such as firestarter or guarddog
[17:02] <idejmcd> might be overheating, check to see that the system fan is working
[17:02] <pale-yafa> idejmcd: how to run that?
[17:02] <gnutron> emilien: incoming or out?
[17:02] <MrCollins> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[17:02] <hasibullah> how can we use Microsoft programs in ubuntu 8.04
[17:02] <recon69> jmsthing678: your supposed to remove the graphic drivers before update, so they stuffed, I dont have ati so not familiar with the ati drivers , you probably need to backup and remove the /etc/X11/X11.conf file nad reinstall you drivers
[17:02] <mker> idejmcd, we aren't listening unless you actually ask a question and ask it in one message because it's hard to follow with this many messages going past all the time.
[17:02] <emilien> gnutron,  both , its for torrents ;)
[17:02] <kristian1> n8tuser : i did "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" over ssh, so i lost connection, and then i went to the machine (at home now), and i had to click the wireless connection again in network manager, so im connected again, nothing more happened that i can see.
[17:02] <Killer--Tux> i am looking for a anti virus program , am trying to see if i can clean a infected hdd (windows in it )
[17:02] <bazhang> hasibullah, check the appdb
[17:02] <kaiser101231> when i use songbird it runs sluggish is that normal and media doesnt work well
[17:03] <bazhang> !appdb | hasibullah
[17:03] <emilien> Killer--Tux,  try avast
[17:03] <alphaaa> onetinsoldier: all ports blocked by default unless an application needs them ?
[17:03] <hasibullah> what is that
[17:03] <erUSUL> !info clamtk | Killer--Tux
[17:03] <jmsthing678> recon69: I have no idea how to do that because I had to haves omeone else basically install th drivers for me
[17:03] <mker> hasibullah, with Wine, and these questions are really basic, I recommend you check out the wiki and do some searching instead of asking abot everything. You'll learn more that way too :)
[17:03] <gnutron> emilien: incoming use iptables/ firewall, outgoing use the /etc/hosts file and redirect ip's to loopback or some 'safe' ip.
[17:03] <Killer--Tux> emilien ok but does this asvat remove windows virus
[17:03] <bazhang> hasibullah, check the link, it involves use of wine /msg ubottu wine for more info and a link
[17:04] <n8tuser> kristian1-> i did not know you were trying to do this remotely.  and it should work okay, i already advised you one at a time, ethernet or wireless, and you seem to insist on having them both  active
[17:04] <epswing> kbrooks: for example, how do i get this "cube" visualization?
[17:04] <n8tuser> kristian1-> you have to decide, wireless or ethernet, not both at same time...
[17:04] <thelonecabbage> Joysticks, anyone tried to install?
[17:04] <onetinsoldier> alphaaa: i don't think linux firewall front-ends automagically open up ports for apps that needs them. been a long time since i've used firestarter. it might have something of that nature
[17:04] <Killer--Tux> emilien ok but does this asvat remove windows virus
[17:04] <kbrooks> epswing, not hard
[17:05] <kbrooks> !ccsm
[17:05] <jmsthing678> gnutron: what am I supposed to be looking for there?
[17:05] <alphaaa> ok thanks
[17:05] <emilien> Killer--Tux,  yes
[17:05] <bazhang> thelonecabbage, for use with which apps
[17:05] <n8tuser> kristian1-> you also have to response quicker as am doing other stuff too
[17:05] <gnutron> jmsthing678: anything suspicious.
[17:05] <epswing> kbrooks: yes, i've installed the settings manager.
[17:05] <kristian1> n8tuser : im only using wireless on the ubuntu machine! im not using ethernet.
[17:05] <Killer--Tux> emilien ok  and how often does it updates ?!?
[17:05] <kbrooks> epswing, OK, hang on.
[17:05] <kristian1> n8tuser : sorry about that!
[17:05] <jmsthing678> gnutron: its all a bunch of gibberish to me
[17:05] <thelonecabbage> bazhang: for games.  I'm able to get it all to work with jscalibrator, but in games only the buttons work
[17:05] <onetinsoldier> alphaaa: i am going to install firestarter myself right now and see what happens
[17:05] <n8tuser> kristian1-> so what are you saying  about ssh into the box?
[17:05] <kbrooks> epswing, system > prefs > ccsm
[17:06] <thelonecabbage> bashang: the actual stick does not work
[17:06] <bazhang> thelonecabbage, wine, dosbox, zsnes or other
[17:06] <alphaaa> ok
[17:06] <boy-stockholm> !directconnect
[17:06] <kristian1> n8tuser : im at the machine now, so it doesnt really matter, i can do it locally.
[17:06] <idejmcd> i am trying to install iTunes using Wine, can anyone here help me?  private message if you can
[17:06] <thelonecabbage> bashang: Beyond the Red Line and gl-117

[17:06] <kbrooks> epswing, ccsm:  category (on the left) > desktop > check both desktop cube and rotate cube
[17:06] <n8tuser> kristian1-> okay, then do a restart, and you wireless should connect assuming its your AP is available and no encryption
[17:06] <thelonecabbage> bahang: Beyond the Red Line and gl-117
[17:06] <bazhang> thelonecabbage, that doesnt really answer my question though

[17:07] <MTecknology> any of you guys use bzr enough to know what happened there?
[17:07] <kristian1> n8tuser : will do a restart brb!
[17:07] <recon69> jmsthing678: not very familiar with the ati cards, I'd try asking for "help reinstalling the sapphire radeon x700 se after 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade" someelse probable know better than me
[17:07] <gnutron> jmsthing678: you need to reconfigure X video driver. i would bet on it.
[17:07] <emilien> Killer--Tux,  its up to date , http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-for-linux-edition.html  , install deb , you also need to register for serial ( its free )
[17:07] <kbrooks> epswing, now click on "rotate cube" and expand 'rotate cube' on the bindings tab
[17:08] <bazhang> idejmcd, wine and itunes is really almost unusable, you should consider alternatives available
[17:08] <epswing> kbrooks: ahh, ok
[17:08] <iminhell> Any new blood want to take a stab at this one?  ---> I try to play a DVD with any of the programs in add/remove (Gxine, Mplayer, Totem, helix, VLC, etc) and all I get is a pixilated mess, compariable to satalite tv with weak signal/scrambled. This is even on a ripped/stripped/burned DVD (i.e. no CSS). I have all the good/bad/ugly/unstripped and libdvd codecs in place; have uninstalled and re installed several times with no change. I can
[17:08] <gnutron> jmsthing678: first place to look is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for settings.
[17:08] <Killer--Tux> emilien  thanks let me give it a try

[17:16] <onetinsoldier> Photoguy: is someone's irc client is configured to highlight a message anytime their nick is contained in a message, then it's automatic
[17:16] <LjL> i thought the official Blender channel was #blender
[17:16] <onetinsoldier> is = if
[17:16] <Photoguy> ah.
[17:16] <outofhismind> Anyone here have experience working with ALSA?
[17:16] <Photoguy> Well #blenderchat aslo is good.
[17:16] <nowy> im looking for Blender for Ubuntu (8.10) ....i can't find it..
[17:16] <outofhismind> I have a quite unique problem, no luck finding any info through google
[17:16] <Photoguy> Get deb
[17:16] <LjL> !info blender | nowy
[17:17] <mker> outofhismind, no one can solve it unless you tell us about it
[17:17] <hasibullah> how can i download programs of MIcrosoft in my computer
[17:17] <Photoguy> nowy http://www.getdeb.net/app/Blender
[17:17] <LjL> hasibullah: with a web browser, most likely, at least the one that are freely available
[17:17] <Photoguy> If you want the lates version try that.
[17:17] <mker> hasibullah, Install Wine and then just double click the exe
[17:17] <outofhismind> I know that, I first asked if anyone had experience with ALSA >.>
[17:17] <bazhang> Photoguy, you should install via the repos
[17:18] <outofhismind> Anyways here's the issue
[17:18] <LjL> Photoguy: getdeb is not recommended
[17:18] <Photoguy> Well, that worked for me.
[17:18] <vitomax> hello
[17:18] <bazhang> !wfm
[17:18] <outofhismind> Basically, my sound works when I boot up
[17:18] <outofhismind> and where it asks for my login credentials
[17:18] <outofhismind> however once i log in, the sound doesn't work
[17:18] <LjL> Photoguy: did he express the intention that he wanted to have the latest version?
[17:18] <Photoguy> It's Blender it's the latest version, so it worked for me.
[17:18] <outofhismind> but it's not that the sound quits completely
[17:18] <kaiser101231> anyone here use songbird it is running really slow on my laptop
[17:18] <mker> outofhismind, you shouln't ask if someone knows or if someone has the same piece of hardware. you should just ask right away so we don't have to try to get the question out of you. and *please* keep it in one message, it's really hard to read when it's spread out over several messages
[17:18] <vitomax> my sound doesnt work on my system either
[17:18] <outofhismind> when i go to test my sound settings, it plays this really loud irritating beep in an infinite loop
[17:18] <rainabba_> You guys will love this... I know how to create a softlink with ln -s, but using Gnome, how do I create a shortcut to a folder on my desktop (using GUI only)?
[17:19] <outofhismind> or when i play music it does the same thing
[17:19] <nowy> aaha..thanks.. i thinking star to learn to use it.. i use SketchUp&3dstudio....
[17:19] <Photoguy> Well who wants the older version, the newer ones are updated with less bugs
[17:19] <mker> rainabba_, right click and "make link"? or did I misunderstand?
[17:19] <tasos> Allow everybody, I need some help from someone who has experience with lyx. I have problem with printing of Mathematics symbols
[17:19] <LjL> Photoguy: that's very close to saying "who wants ubuntu", as ubuntu rarely has the latest version of anything, but rather aims for stability.
[17:19] <outofhismind> I'll just find another channel, I get bad vibes from people here
[17:20] <coppro> how do I turn off transparency for inactive windows in compiz?
[17:20] <onetinsoldier> rainabba_: cd ~/Desktop  then use the ln -s command
[17:20] <Photoguy> Most everyone in the Blender community uses the lates version 2.48a
[17:20] <rainabba_> mker: Closest thing I see is "Make Lanucher" which includes a "Location" option, but I don't see how to actually "pick" a location. Each time choose a folder and "open" it navigates into it instead of selecting it.
[17:20] <recon69> outofhismind: you could try alsamixer and see if changing the setting there helps
[17:20] <Photoguy> Because it has updated features.
[17:20] <mker> rainabba_, right click the folder you want to link to
[17:20] <Photoguy> And, it's also quite stable.
[17:21] <rainabba_> onetinsoldier: That's my point. I know how to do it that way. There's not a way to create links (shortcuts) in the GUI?
[17:21] <onetinsoldier> rainabba_: ahh, i see
[17:21] <rainabba_> mker: ahh, hadn't thought of that.
[17:21] <outofhismind> I do want to note that the sound was working perfectly fine about a week ago, and I didn't make any updates before the problem occurred
[17:21] <vitomax> i am getting apt-get error
[17:21] <onetinsoldier> rainabba_: mker's suggestion work?
[17:21] <mker> Photoguy, search for getdeb and see if they have the latest. Search for backport ubuntu and see if they have the latest. Check Blender home page and see if they have an ubuntu package for you. If not you'll have to compile it yourself.
[17:22] <vitomax> looked on the forums and says it sucks
[17:22] <rainabba_> mker: Now I see the "Make Link" option. Now more specifically, I'm trying to create a link on my Desktop to my own home folder and "Make Link" is greyed out. Why is that?
[17:22] <LjL> Photoguy: look, all i'm asking you is that when you think it's a good idea to suggest a package from unofficial places like getdeb, you make it clear it has the disadvantage of not being supported by ubuntu.
[17:22] <uffo> i installed madwifi on ubuntu 8.10 but now i cannot get NM to display wifi anymore, do i have to again reinstall ubuntu or there is simple way to force restore it?
[17:22] <mker> rainabba_, click places and drack your home folder to the desktop. Does that work?
[17:23] <rainabba_> mker: Nothing in "Places" will even drag.
[17:23] <vitomax> <== first time using irc
[17:23] <vitomax> dont really like it
[17:23] <rainabba_> Not the top group anyhow. Looks like the lower group does.
[17:23] <vitomax> too much clatter
[17:23] <LjL> !offtopic | vitomax
[17:23] <vitomax> ok
[17:24] <tavish> #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:24] <vitomax> ok
[17:24] <rainabba_> mker: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos will drag, but File System, Networks Servers, etc... won't.

[17:24] <Skinkie> onetinsoldier: I gave up on the USB issue... for today... too many people seems to have this issue
[17:24] <mker> rainabba_, solved it! create launcher, choose "location" and in location you type /home/rainabba_
[17:25] <uffo> i installed madwifi on ubuntu 8.10 but now i cannot get NM to display wifi anymore, do i have to again reinstall ubuntu or there is simple way to force restore it
[17:25] <onetinsoldier> Skinkie: roger that. no known solution eh? i didn't think i'd be able to help with that.
[17:25] <yangfan> someone upgrade your system to ubuntu9.04?
[17:25] <Stalker72> With my Bose Companion 5 speakers (USB!), I only manage to get sound in audio players, not in Flash or in games using Wine.  I've had it since I moved to Ubuntu some months ago. Please help!!!
[17:26] <rainabba_> mker: You'd think. Go try and open that now :)
[17:26] <onetinsoldier> Skinkie: but at least you have an installed kernel package! :-)
[17:26] <mker> yangfan, no, we're not crazy :) if you do it expect your system to crash and burn. and don't do it to have the latest, only to test for bugs
[17:26] <Skinkie> onetinsoldier: yes... but i still wonder how it is possible the livecd of (x)ubuntu are not affected
[17:26] <Skinkie> it is a pure showstopper
[17:26] <cheng> .
[17:26] <cheng> +
[17:26] <cheng> 23
[17:27] <yangfan> I know thanks!
[17:27] <Stalker72> With my Bose Companion 5 speakers (USB!), I only manage to get sound in audio players, not in Flash or in games using Wine.  I've had it since I moved to Ubuntu some months ago. Please help!!!
[17:27] <mker> Stalker72, Be patient. If no one knows no one will answer.
[17:27] <uffo> mker:  my system do not crash but i cannot get wifi to work
[17:28] <Skinkie> Stalker72: does it work if you type aoss firefox ?
[17:28] <Stalker72> Skinkie: Type it where?
[17:28] <Slart> Stalker72: I think I've heard of people having this problem but with other kinds of soundcards... at least the problem with flash and sound
[17:28] <mker> uffo, sorry don't know anything about wifi, I'm a cable guy :)
[17:28] <Stalker72> Slart: The sound card is inside the subwoofer.
[17:28] <Skinkie> Stalker72: close firefox
[17:28] <uffo> i installed madwifi on ubuntu 8.10 but now i cannot get NM to display wifi anymore, do i have to again reinstall ubuntu or there is simple way to force restore it
[17:28] <Skinkie> Stalker72: start a terminal
[17:28] <Stalker72> Skinkie: I use Opera 10 alpha..
[17:28] <Skinkie> Stalker72: type: aoss firefox/opera
[17:29] <Skinkie> Stalker72: (or opera)
[17:29] <Stalker72> Skinkie: It says that it's not installed and that I have to type sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[17:29] <Skinkie> Stalker72: then it explained what you should do
[17:29]  * [gnubie] waves
[17:29] <rainabba_> mker: I'm taking this to gnome. This is downright silly.
[17:29] <Stalker72> Skinkie: I use OSS though.
[17:30] <mker> rainabba_, hey it works for me! you sure you chose "location" in the drop down menu ?
[17:30] <Slart> Stalker72: does flash even do oss?
[17:30] <[gnubie]> i am now running ubuntu 8.10 with compiz fusion.. but, how can i set my desktop in such a way that the desktop cube must have 4 sides?
[17:30] <Slart> !cube | [gnubie]
[17:30] <Stalker72> Slart: I don't know, but the only option that works for me is "Bose Corporation Bose USB Audio USB Audio (OSS).
[17:31] <mker> [gnubie], see the squares by the bin? bottom right corner. right click and preferences
[17:31] <uffo> i installed madwifi on ubuntu 8.10 but now i cannot get NM to display wifi anymore, do i have to again reinstall ubuntu or there is simple way to force restore it - or ubuntu is really so hard to restore network, look windows how simple is to restore drivers
[17:31] <uffo> or reactos.org
[17:32] <projekt__> irc.quakenet.org /server
[17:32] <[gnubie]> mker: what do you mean? where is it?
[17:32] <[theron]> cdrecord is my new friend :)
[17:32] <kattollikisd> Can someone just give me a minute to fix my question? I just had a problem installing the Flash Pluging Non Free http://paste.ubuntu.com/84675/ Someone send me last night this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/304969  there is a file called Dependecies.txt, if you open it you will see I list of package, it mean that If I install all that package, I fix the problem woth the Flash Pluging Non Free?
[17:32] <mker> [gnubie], bottom right corner you see two little squares right? next to the trash icon?
[17:32] <dfgas> how do i use fsck to scan for bad blocks and stuff on my ext3 partition?
[17:32] <[gnubie]> mker: yes
[17:32] <Stalker72> Skinkie and Slart: Sound still doesn't work.
[17:32] <mker> [gnubie], yes, right click and preferences
[17:32] <dfgas> i would like to scan the whole drive
[17:33] <[gnubie]> mker: that's the window preferences..
[17:33] <recon69> dfgas: first i would backup any important files
[17:33] <Slart> Stalker72: sorry, I'm next to useless when it comes to OSS...
[17:33] <mker> [gnubie], it's the workspace preferences. choose 4 columns instead of 2
[17:33] <dfgas> recon69, then?
[17:34] <[gnubie]> mker: ok, i got it.. thanks..
[17:34] <uffo> i installed madwifi on ubuntu 8.10 but now i cannot get NM to display wifi anymore, do i have to again reinstall ubuntu or there is simple way to force restore it
[17:34] <onetinsoldier> anyone have the ati fglrx driver working with kernel 2.6.27?
[17:34] <dfgas> i think the hard drive is the problem
[17:34] <arsenal22> Привет
[17:34] <mker> dfgas, Hi I remember that I used badblocks instead of fsck not too long ago. Don't remember why I chose that now but you might want to read about that too. (just a tip)
[17:34] <coppro> why are there no en-ca packages for OO.org?
[17:35] <rambo298> recommendations for MP# to CDA converter/burner?
[17:35] <echod> hi, i installed ubuntu 8.10 on a usb stick, (sdc1:ext3 flag:boot)(sdc2, ext3) & (sdc3, swap) ..but my pc won't boot, bios supports booting from usb. any suggestions , tia
[17:35] <dfgas> mker, doesn't that destroy anything on the hard drive?
[17:35] <mker> rambo298, Brasero should handle that, no?
[17:35] <rambo298> standard pkg or i need to add it with synaptic?
[17:35] <mker> dfgas, I don't think so but read the manual, I really don't want you to do something wrong because of me
[17:35] <rambo298> i see it
[17:36] <mker> dfgas, I *think* I chose badblocks because it didn't destroy anything. But as I said, read the manual, don't trust me at all :)
[17:36] <dfgas> k
[17:36] <busfahrer> Excuse me, why does pressing space for pause sometimes not work in Totem player?
[17:36] <[gnubie]> my next question is about the video card driver to use.. i feel like my x is slow.. or is it really my video chipset.. anyway, i am using ibm thinkpad x32 laptop here.. i think during installation, ubuntu have chosen radeon driver.. do you think using the fglrx will make this faster?
[17:36] <neo644> I need some help getting my acecad flair II tablet working in Intrepid. I have xserver-xorg-modules-acecad installed. The USB port supplies power and the light is on, but the cursor doesn't move.
[17:37] <Stalker72> Skinkie and Slart: Should I install PulseAudio Device Chooser, PulseAudio Volume Control, or something?
[17:37] <recon69> dfgas: same here, have destroyed my own HDD using fsck , it's not simple and can do damage if not done right. so reluctant to give advice
[17:37] <anix72> my PC is not reading DVDs anymore. i think this happened after recent upgrade to linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic. i use ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron. the drive is CD/DVD, CD still works. but DVD media is not mounted. problem occured yesterday first time. i rebooted with linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic, then DVD worked again. but today both versions don't read DVD. is this a problem with the libudf0 ? any idea?
[17:37] <mker> [gnubie], have you checked system -> admministraTION -> hardware drivers ?
[17:37] <neo644> Also, is there a wiki page on how to install my tablet?
[17:37] <Slart> Stalker72: if you're running OSS that won't matter
[17:38] <Stalker72> Slart: Ok..
[17:38] <Slart> Stalker72: I think pulseaudio uses alsa so without alsa pulseaudio won't work
[17:38] <uffo> looks like only solution is to reinstall ubuntu, driver installation is soooo bad compared to windows
[17:38] <[gnubie]> mker: yes, but it doesn't have any proprietary drivers
[17:38] <coppro> anix72: have you tried manually mounting?
[17:38] <recon69> uffo: you could try blacklist  the driver you installed
[17:39] <recon69> uffo: if you know hwat it's called
[17:40] <uffo> recon69: i done that with this guide but now wifi gone forever http://probing.wikidot.com/ubuntu-intrepid-8-10-replacing-ath9k-by-madwifi
[17:40] <uffo> recon69: driver install is so hard compared to windows and reactos
[17:41] <recon69> uffo: could you patebin the out put of "lshw -C network"
[17:41] <anix72> coppro: with "~$ sudo mount /media/cdrom0" i get " mount: No medium found"
[17:41] <mker> uffo, that's really not ubuntus fault, you should blame your hardware manufacturer for not releasing free drivers
[17:41] <coppro> anix72: try 'sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0'
[17:42] <uffo> ubuntu should have device manager like windows has
[17:42] <anix72> coppro: againi "mount: No medium found"
[17:42] <coppro> hmm
[17:42] <coppro> that tends to be a problem
[17:42] <uffo> recon69: it shows 2 tables of something
[17:42] <anix72> (just to emphasize, i know there is a medium :) )
[17:42] <dmsuperman> How can I determine if an MP3 is vbr or cbr?
[17:43] <uffo> recon69: that lshw thing i mean
[17:43] <coppro> anix72: do you have a windows boot on that computer?
[17:43] <coppro> or an older kernel to try?
[17:43] <anix72> coppro: but why did it work yesterday with the other kernel, but today with both noth.
[17:43] <anix72> coppro: yes, i have all kernels since i installed. i think two older kernels
[17:43] <coppro> anix72: so you have tried with two kernels? Do you have windows to try? Perhaps it's a hardware issue
[17:44] <recon69> uffo: dont tell me about it, cut and paste it into http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the link so i can see
[17:44] <onetinsoldier> anyone have the ati fglrx driver working with kernel 2.6.27?
[17:44] <anix72> coppro: ok, i'll try with windows, but have to reboot. i'll report later in the channel. thank you.
[17:46] <LL> ist jeman aus Deutschland ?
[17:46] <uffo> recon69: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84858/ i am so angry to ubuntu now if i do not find how to hook madwifi then i return all my system to windows and wait more some year if ubuntu integrates simple driver installer like windows has 10 years
[17:46] <onetinsoldier> !de
[17:46] <LL> thx
[17:46]  * [gnubie] waves
[17:47] <[gnubie]> gtg now
[17:47] <[gnubie]> thanks..
[17:47] <acce245> Can someone tell me how to launch a terminal and run a few lines of command from a text document (maybe I am asking how to create a launcher?)
[17:47] <todo> is $190 a good price from a 4-processor 2.2 ghz xeon workstation?
[17:47] <nicklas__> uffo: why not another distro?
[17:47] <SRazi> Hi, how can I share my dial-up internet on Wireless network?
[17:47] <Law506> anyone seen this before?  I go to use Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to my Ubuntu Server 8.10 32-Bit and I get an error, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 64-Bit on my dektop.
[17:47] <Law506> Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkStatusbar::shadow-type' of type `GtkShadowType' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x1223280)" of type `GString'
[17:48] <dtcrshr> hi folks, im using ubuntu hardy, on a notebook with ati radeon vga hardware. Iv used envyng to install the driver, and everything goes fine. My regular user flickes on any 3d program i ran, but on my second user they go fine. how can i compare between both users, whats wrong
[17:48] <dtcrshr> ?
[17:48] <recon69> uffo: go into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and remove "blacklist ath9k blacklist mac80211 blacklist cfg80211 " , no idea what the madwifi driver is called but it's not loading anyway so should not matter, reboot and you should be back to your old setup
[17:48] <uffo> nicklas__: is there distro that is so simple like windows and reactos i dont think so
[17:49] <SRazi> is there full HSF modem driver for ubuntu 8.10?
[17:49] <acce245> windows is hardly 'simple', and can anyone answer my question?  Thanks!
[17:49] <uffo> recon69: i blacklisted them because ath9k module gives so poor quality wifi
[17:49] <onetinsoldier> acce245: make a file.. the top of it need to start with the following.....  #!/bin/bash
[17:49] <Slart> uffo: simple or "what I am used to".. many people mean the later
[17:49] <acce245> ahhh, # signs.
[17:49] <acce245> lemme try.
[17:49] <mker> acce245, right click desktop and "create launcher"
[17:49] <recon69> uffo: well, one thing at a time.
[17:49] <Slart> uffo: if you want a distro that is like windows you'll probably find that the best one is... windows.. =/
[17:49] <onetinsoldier> acce245: then put in you commands... then end it with   exit 0
[17:50] <olskolirc> onetinsoldier, #!/usr/bin/bash makes an sh script correct?
[17:50] <uffo> Slart: or reactos in future that i wait
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> olskolirc: yes
[17:50] <melchmon> Hi I just tried to install the nvidia 180 drivers. I can not boot into xserver now
[17:50] <exodus_ms> uffo, Curious, why have you decided to try Ubuntu? You can post in #Ubuntu-Offtopic
[17:50] <Slart> uffo: don't hold your breath.. I think reactos has many years left before it can replace windows on a normal desktop
[17:50] <olskolirc> onetinsoldier, does #!/bin/sh make the same script?
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> acce245: then   chmod +x <filename> && ./<filename>
[17:50] <acce245> For example, if all I want to run is "cd ~/filename" and then in the next line "./filename"
[17:50] <recon69> uffo: did you have any error when compiling that madwifi driver?
[17:50] <nicklas__> uffo: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major
[17:51] <Slart> uffo: but this is getting offtopic..
[17:51] <Slart> acce245: what was the question?
[17:51] <ddggttff3> hi. i was wonderin if someone could help me with my soundcard
[17:51] <exodus_ms> !sound
[17:51] <uffo> ubunu needs driver manager for ALL system then it comes to simple
[17:51] <mker> uffo, we're not paid by ubuntu and you haven't paid for ubuntu. we don't care what you use, we're here to help eachother out, that's all. use what you want, no one will try to convince you otherwise.
[17:51] <onetinsoldier> olskolirc: yes... i think that make it figure out what shell you using and use that shell. more than just bash is available as a shell
[17:52] <boy-stockholm> !directconnect
[17:52] <ddggttff3> well i got a creative x-fi xtreme gamer sound card
[17:52] <acce245> For example, I want to run those two commands under terminal, and I want to simply doubleclick a text file and have it run.
[17:52] <ddggttff3> and the problem i have is with the drivers
[17:52] <acce245> such as 'run in terminal'
[17:52] <uffo> mker: to you have then some gui tool to restore system components
[17:52] <olskolirc> thanks onetinsoldier
[17:52] <iminhell> Anyone new in here want to take a stab at a dvd playback issue?
[17:52] <onetinsoldier> yw
[17:52] <Slart> acce245: ok.. create a text file where the first line is "# /bin/bash"
[17:52] <acce245> got it.
[17:53] <Slart> acce245: then you can write your commands after that.. one on each line
[17:53] <nicklas__> uffo: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major
[17:53] <recon69> uffo: lol, you just have to unblack list the drivers you blacklisted , cant see it being much simpler
[17:53] <mker> uffo, I don't know, I've never messed my system up with madwifi. It's possible the guys in the madwifi channel or forum can give you more help though as they should know more about the problems their program creates.
[17:53] <LjL> uffo: what do you mean "restore system components"?
[17:53] <mker> uffo, why don't you do what recon69 suggests?
[17:53] <Slart> acce245: sorry.. it's "#!/bin/bash"
[17:54] <uffo> LjL: gui tool to reset wiwi drivers or load new driver (.so files etc)
[17:54] <LjL> uffo: drivers are generally modules, not .so files. .so files are libraries
[17:54] <uffo> LjL: like windows with left click update drivers
[17:54] <acce245> that makes the icon change to generic program, but how do I get it to open in a terminal?  Do I need to change the filename?
[17:54] <mker> uffo, why don't you do what recon69 suggests?
[17:54]  * [gnubie] waves
[17:54] <LjL> uffo: i'm not a windows user, i have no idea how it works in windows
[17:54] <recon69> uffo: give me a year or two, I'll write one for you lol
[17:55] <exodus_ms> !details | iminhell
[17:55] <onetinsoldier> acce245: then   chmod +x <filename> && ./<filename>
[17:55] <[gnubie]> where is the X configuration file located? i used to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but when i checked that file, it doesn't have any content..
[17:55] <LjL> uffo: drivers here are modules, and modules in turn are either in the default Ubuntu install or in packages. if they are from packages, removing them involves removing the packages.
[17:55] <Slart> [gnubie]: it's mostly detected at runtime these days
[17:55] <badawi> how do i search for packages on the repos from the command line?
[17:56] <Slart> [gnubie]: but that's the file alright.. if you put stuff there it will be dealt with
[17:56] <mker> badawi, aptitude search *** (for example, you could use apt-get too)
[17:56] <LjL> !packages > badawi    (badawi, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:56] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: drop out of X..(ctrl+backspace) then run command   Xorg -configure
[17:56] <badawi> mker: thank you
[17:56] <Slart> badawi: apt-cache search somethingtosearchforhere
[17:56] <scientes> how can i run the live cd from a chroot?
[17:56] <badawi> Slart: thank you too
[17:56] <uffo> LjL: there should be tool to open module pack to install it like windows and reactos has open driver folder
[17:56] <[gnubie]> i want to make use of the fglrx driver
[17:56] <dtcrshr> me too
[17:56] <dtcrshr> ivinstalled, but it flicks
[17:57] <Bit_Breaker> hello all
[17:57] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]:  so do i! but i don't think it works with kernel-2.6.27... at least not yet
[17:57] <nicklas__> ey
[17:57] <LjL> uffo, wait, are you telling us that you installed the madwifi drivers from a random package that you downloaded manually?
[17:57] <Bit_Breaker> does anyone kno what has happen to pygame modules for python on Ubuntu
[17:57] <acce245> so, I am doing something wrong still...
[17:57] <iminhell> exodus_ms:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009052   in a nutshell I can not play a dvd normally unless I use the following command, "export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://"  btw i'v been in here since 8am, mker tried but he said he isn't really a video guy.
[17:57] <acce245> I apologize, I am new to this sort of thing.
[17:57] <mker> uffo, recon69 helped you and you seem to refuse to do what he said. If you absolutely need a GUI app for this you can code one yourself and stop trolling.
[17:57] <[gnubie]> onetinsoldier: ow?
[17:58] <uffo> LjL: from madwifi website
[17:58] <LjL> uffo: why did you do that? madwifi is *included* in a standard Ubuntu install.
[17:58] <LjL> uffo: you really should ask the madwifi guy, because Ubuntu only supports the madwifi drivers that it *includes*.
[17:58] <uffo> LjL: with this guide http://probing.wikidot.com/ubuntu-intrepid-8-10-replacing-ath9k-by-madwifi
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: i can't say that i've tried it yet.. but you try to get it working if you want.
[17:59] <LjL> uffo: ah well, no wonder things get messed up if you follow random unofficial guides
[17:59] <[gnubie]> ok
[18:00] <uffo> LjL: but why someone do not make binary driver packs like windows has that can be added
[18:00] <Thuyner> Hi, I have RealVNC installed on my Win XP PC, and I want to see it from my Ubuntu computer. How do I do?
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: after dropping ouot of X and running the command i listed.. you should have a more complete xorg.conf file. then you edit it to specify the fglrx driver
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> out*
[18:00] <LjL> uffo: because that's very much against the Ubuntu philosophy of things being provided in both source and binary form in the official repositories.
[18:00] <eseven73> you cannot compare windows to linux uffo, it dont work that way
[18:00] <exodus_ms> iminhell, still reading...
[18:01] <Bit_Breaker> does anyone kno what has happen to pygame modules for python on Ubuntu
[18:01] <iminhell> exodus: that's fine, take all the time you need.
[18:01] <[gnubie]> onetinsoldier: ok..
[18:01] <uffo> LjL: if i want source then i download but usually i need driver and just install it simple way with some driver install tool like it should be
[18:02] <recon69> LjL: uffo: and anyone else in this conversation that it to ubuntu-offtopic
[18:02] <LjL> recon69: right, sorry
[18:02] <Bit_Breaker> does anyone kno what has happen to pygame modules for python on Ubuntu
[18:02] <crimsaq> I've tried installing flash TWICE now for firefox, downloaded the .deb from adobe and it isnt working... any ideas?
[18:02] <uffo> oh well i reinstall system thats all
[18:02] <nicklas__> uffo: you need to open your mind, its not really that hard, linux is really easy to use nowadays, i think its easier than windows
[18:02] <Kelen> How to copy files from mobile with bluetooth? anyidea here?
[18:03] <mker> Bit_Breaker, If you want someone to help you just explain your problem, don't ask if someone knows what's happened. Happened with that? How? Nothing happened?
[18:03] <Bit_Breaker> mker: gotcha
[18:03] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: if you get the flgrx driver installed and need to know how to specify the fglrx driver in the xorg.conf file, let me know
[18:03] <LjL> Kelen: that depends on the mobile
[18:03] <LjL> Kelen: on the PC side, you merely need to have bluetooth enabled
[18:03] <uffo> nicklas__: yes it is for now quite simple but not complete, maybe after some year ubuntu has 100% gui system
[18:03] <Bit_Breaker> ok i was attempting to import pygame in python, and i get " an undefined modules erro"
[18:03] <Law506> alright, I can connect to my Linux share using Windows via samba... how do I get to it through my linux machine?
[18:04] <Law506> seems like it would be easy
[18:04] <Bit_Breaker> but they exist dont they?
[18:04] <Kelen> LjL: mobile is Nokia 5310. is that possible for this mobile?
[18:04] <LjL> Kelen: it's possible for any mobile that has bluetooth
[18:04] <nicklas__> doesnt ubuntu have 100% gui?
[18:04] <bulio> How can I access a windows share on ubuntu?
[18:04] <LjL> Kelen: but as to how it's done on your mobile - well, i'm sure it comes with an instruction manual...
[18:04] <mDemocritus> Law506: look through the menus on the desktop... there's a connect to server option somewhere in there
[18:05] <bulio> I installed smbfs and tried to put a line in /etc/fstab
[18:05] <Law506> yea, but its not working out so great :)
[18:05] <exodus_ms> iminhell, I know you probably want to play the DVD from the optical drive, but have you tried to to rip the DVD to your hdd? Then if it plays from your hdd you can eliminate other problems maybe?

[18:05] <Tefx__> hey guys i got a wierd little problem im tryign to instal DTC panel to my ubuntu 8.04 box btu its complain that it cant fidn /sbin/lbconfig.real even tho it excists:S
[18:06] <shubbar> can someone help me with Hardware Drivers? it disappeared.
[18:06] <bazhang> uffo, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:06] <joshwhat>  I had a usb drive that auto mounted with the name "WDC Combo" at the location "/media/WDC Cobmo".  I then right clicked it, chose Settings, and changed the Mount Point setting to "/media/WDCCombo".  Now, when it tries to mount, it says "Cannot mount volume." and under details it says, "mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)"  So, I thought it had saved this "mount point" information in /etc/
[18:06] <joshwhat> fstab, and I could go in there and change it back to what it was, but it wasn't in there.  How can I recover from this if the drive won't even mount for me to change the setting?
[18:06] <benj007> hi
[18:06] <bulio> and is smbfs the proper thing to install for cifs?
[18:06] <iminhell> exodus: I'd try that but I haven't got that far yet. I'm only 3 weeks into this Linux thing and really not sure how to even rip a dvd yet.
[18:06] <funbitz1> anyone: I'm having problems with nvidia's proprietary driver, but if I deactivate it my resolution goes no higher than 800*600. Is there a way to set a higher resolution without activating the accelerated driver?
[18:06] <LjL> bulio: yes
[18:06] <Kelen> LjL: well, where is the manual about?
[18:06] <nicklas__> uffo: did you look at that link i gave you?
[18:06] <benj007> how are you guys ?
[18:06] <Photoguy> Hmm, skype settings are messed up agin..

[18:06] <LjL> Kelen: eh?
[18:06] <Tefx__> any ideas
[18:06] <Photoguy> What should the sound settings be?
[18:06] <bulio> LjL: then what could I be doing wrong
[18:06] <jtaji> joshwhat: that dialog was actually asking for the part of the mountpoint after /media/, hang on...
[18:06] <bulio> Ubuntu isnt mounting it
[18:07] <LjL> bulio: don't know. does .smbcredentials exist and is readable?
[18:07] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: yeah, i'm not surprised
[18:07] <bulio> LjL: yep
[18:07] <[gnubie]> onetinsoldier: why?
[18:07] <Kelen> LjL: The copy files from mobile manual?
[18:07] <LjL> bulio: try mounting it manually with sudo mount //<IP_ADDRESS>/Volume_1 /media/nas -o username=whatever
[18:07] <re98001> Can anyone tell me why i cant hear sound when playing a cd but at the same time can stream a video on firefox just fine?
[18:07] <LjL> Kelen: i'm talking about *your phone's user manual*
[18:08] <bulio> LjL: its set to be only readable by sudo
[18:08] <bulio> LjL: manually mounting works fine
[18:08] <[gnubie]> anyway, brb
[18:08] <onetinsoldier> [gnubie]: when newer versions of the linux kernel come out, then the ati driver usually needs to be updated to work with the newer kernel version.
[18:08] <Photoguy> Hmm, skype settings are messed up again  What should the sound settings be?
[18:08] <Kelen> LjL: huh.. i lost it..
[18:09] <LjL> bulio: oh wait, duh, i know what's wrong of course...
[18:09] <LjL> bulio: you put ~/.smbcredentials but what is ~ when root is reading fstab?

[18:09] <bulio> LjL: I assume my primary user?
[18:09] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> NFS*
[18:09] <LjL> Kelen: well i'm sorry, search for it on google, we can't support mobile phones here
[18:09] <LjL> bulio: no
[18:10] <LjL> bulio: root has got its own home directory, /root/
[18:10] <re98001> Can anyone tell me why i cant hear sound when playing a cd but at the same time can stream a video on firefox just fine?
[18:10] <LjL> bulio: so it'll look for /root/.smbcredentials
[18:10] <bulio> LjL: so I should move it there?
[18:10] <jtaji> joshwhat: if you run gconf-editor, in gconf-editor under /storage/volumes/ you will see an entry for the device you modified, click the entry and you will see a mount_point key on the right panel, delete this key
[18:10] <LjL> bulio: or you should specify a different path in fstab
[18:11] <Tefx__> hey guys i got a wierd little problem im tryign to instal DTC panel to my ubuntu 8.04 box btu its complain that it cant fidn /sbin/lbconfig.real even tho it excists:S

[18:12] <recon69> re98001: what app are you using to play sound, is the cd audio cd or data cd, are the files wave files?

In the diagram, it shows that the "shuffle" has 128 heads, while when I use fdisk to create a W95 FAT32 partition type, then do fdisk -l, it shows 32 heads.  Does this mean I can't fdisk/format the ipod shuffle in linux and need to use windows?  Or are there other options?

[18:23] <tim_dmole> Is it possible to make a 5TB logical volume?
[18:23] <PriceChild> reduz: how are you trying to do it? works for me
[18:23] <Tefx__> DDT, ubuntu uses .deb files btu if u cant fidn it in apptitude it probably wont be supported here
[18:23] <onetinsoldier> that_cat: well. i recall now that eons ago i had trouble finding one for X, but i eventually found one. having trouble finding it now tho. but i am almost sure one exists
[18:23] <Phantom__> !autostart
[18:23] <tim_dmole> DDT: ubuntu uses .deb but can use .rpm if you install the tool
[18:24] <reduz> PriceChild, System -> Preferences -> Network Configuration, edit default connection, change to static IP
[18:24] <reduz> PriceChild, nothing amazing, then just not works
[18:24] <DDT> ok, thx people
[18:24] <tim_dmole> DDT: apt-get is best
[18:24] <Tefx__> can soem oen give me a hand with a really anoyign problem

[18:24] <DDT> apt-get - for using rpm?

[18:26] <re98001> no. the package been installed previously. should i reinstall it?
[18:26] <reduz> recon69, yes my router is, because other computers need the dynamic address
[18:27] <onetinsoldier> that_cat: use the 'General Interface Statistics' option
[18:27] <reduz> recon69, but it really shouldn't matter, if i want to use static IP, ubuntu should just not use DHCP
[18:27] <WIGGMPk> exodus_ms: was that intended for me?
[18:27] <dan_> reduz are you also having internet connection issues?
[18:27] <eseven73> any vmware guru's available to answer why ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 guests i can move my mouse in and out of the vm window, but cant with ubuntu 6.06 guest
[18:27] <reduz> dan_, no, internet works fine, i just want static IP
[18:28] <Tefx__> exodus_ms,  did u see my detais
[18:28] <recon69> reduz: if you want a static IP you router need to know the mac address of you computer so it can give out the right address , as far as i know, been so long since i use a static ip address
[18:28] <Soros> is there a switch within firefox so i can use the middle button to paste the url.. or is that a gnome thing ?  so used to just copying a url and then middle clicking to load it
[18:28] <onetinsoldier> that_cat: use the 'General Interface Statistics' option, and you can configure options such as kbits/s or kBytes/s
[18:28] <dan_> ok - then we have different problems - i cant even get a proper ip - its stick on a private address
[18:28] <Steven2> hello!
[18:28] <that_cat> onetinsoldier, and that shows the total throughput for all computers on the network?
[18:28] <mker> Soros, about:config and search for middlemouse or similar, I think you should find something there if it doesn't already work
[18:28] <reduz> recon69, nope, if i want static IP, i should use it and don't use DHCP, the router has nothing to do with this
[18:29] <Soros> oh ya, lemme look
[18:29] <reduz> damn it, how can ubuntu have a bug as serious as this
[18:29] <reduz> i don't get it
[18:29] <Soros> yaa, there it is, thanks
[18:30] <bandyo> hi guys!
[18:30] <dan_> Anyone know where to start with a connection issue where I can not get an ip address from my ubuntu?  The router is working fine since I have 3 windows machines properly connected.
[18:30] <sfire> has anyone here had trouble with losing sound in 8.10 ?
[18:30] <reduz> let's try erasing the connection and the creating a new one....
[18:30] <mker> reduz, static ip is something your isp gives you
[18:30] <recon69> reduz: it cant(well pretty sure it cant ), if it did the whole internet would stop working
[18:30] <onetinsoldier> that_cat: hmmm, i only know about usage for my one lonely desktop system. fool around with it and watch and you will probably figure that out tho
[18:31] <recon69> reduz: you sure you router is setup correctly for static addresses
[18:31] <rainabba_> After I modify ~/.bashrc how do I implement those changes immediately?
[18:32] <bazhang> reduz, do you have the launchpad bug number?
[18:32] <usser_> reduz, works for me just fine
[18:32] <Kelen> How to review my message with IRC after i come back.
[18:32] <onetinsoldier> that_cat: i believe it will just show the usage of the system it's running on
