[04:00] <SlimeyPete> it's available in the repositories.
[04:01] <Nod-Ubuntu> The repositories that I'm seeing only have the 'quicksynergy' which doesn't give me the option of seeing up screen switching etc.. The only options it has is, "Whats the IP of the server..." that doesn't help for configuration.
[04:01] <Nod-Ubuntu> And the reason I'm using the .deb to install is because I don't know how to compile the src code, and I heard linux doesn't execute binaries.
[04:01] <SlimeyPete> Nod-Ubuntu: synergy is in Universe (at least, for Feisty)
[04:02] <genii> !info synergy feisty
[04:02] <kbrooks_> Nod-Ubuntu, it can, but not windows binaries.
[04:02] <ubotu> synergy: Share mouse, keyboard and clipboard over the network. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 593 kB, installed size 1460 kB
[04:02] <netyire> try checkinstall
[04:02] <kbrooks_> Nod-Ubuntu, i mean natively
[04:02] <stoney> lo
[04:02] <genii> In optional repos
[04:02] <SlimeyPete> Nod-Ubuntu: Linu executes binaries just fine (every OS does), but the binaries have t have been compiled for Linux.
[04:02] <netyire> just apt-get build <program>
[04:02] <netyire> then make
[04:02] <netyire> then checkinstall -D
[04:02] <Nod-Ubuntu> kbrooks_: Okay
[04:02] <netyire> :D
[04:03] <kbrooks_> Nod-Ubuntu, if you want to execute windows binaries, then get wine
[04:03] <kbrooks_> !info wine
[04:03] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.33-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 9576 kB, installed size 44452 kB
[04:03] <SlimeyPete> Nod-Ubuntu: if you enable the universe repository you should be able to see synergy in there.
[04:03] <kbrooks_> Nod-Ubuntu, just a warning: wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator
[04:04] <genii> Nod-Ubuntu: Do you have repository universe enabled ? that is where the package is
[04:04] <Nod-Ubuntu> SlimeyPete: I'll see if I can find it.
[04:04] <Nod-Ubuntu> Genii: I'm not sure.
[04:04] <Nod-Ubuntu> kbrooks_:  I understand that, I have VMplayer for my virtualization even though I don't know how to use it. :-)

[04:04] <name> hello
[04:04] <name> I'm having a problem with the livecd
[04:05] <netyire> name: what problems?
[04:05] <SirTane> kay, i'm in this irssi thing
[04:05] <name> I cannot chroot into my ubuntu
[04:05] <name> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /media/disk-2/
[04:05] <name> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied
[04:05] <SirTane> this has gone from frustrating to fun
[04:05] <rambo3> lol
[04:05] <andylockran> SirTane: hehe - I only switched to irssi yesterday
[04:05] <name> the permission right allow root to run /bin/bash
[04:05] <netyire> hmm
[04:05] <andylockran> SirTane: seems to be a good client though
[04:05] <netyire> how long has the livecd been running?
[04:06] <name> netyire: just booted it why?
[04:06] <netyire> try reopening the terminal
[04:06] <SirTane> andylockran: now what?
[04:06] <andylockran> SirTane: switch back and forth to different screens by pressing ctrl+alt+f2
[04:06] <name> i tried the tty
[04:06] <name> did not work either
[04:06] <kbrooks_> name: ping
[04:06] <andylockran> ctrl+alt+f1 to switch back to this one
[04:06] <netyire> hmm
[04:06] <name> kbrooks_: pong
[04:06] <andylockran> SirTane: that works?
[04:06] <SirTane> hahaha, i switched out before reading the second part
[04:06] <SirTane> figured it out though
[04:06] <SirTane> yeah, it works
[04:06] <kbrooks_> name: it's talking about /bin/bash in the chroot
[04:07] <netyire> maybe something went wrong with the startup (this is a guess - amid not a very good one)
[04:07] <name> kbrooks_: so? I checked it's permission rights
[04:07] <netyire> try rebooting
[04:07] <andylockran> excellent - so when I ask you to enter in a command switch to another console :P
[04:07] <name> netyire: is this windows? :)
[04:07] <netyire> haha :D
[04:07] <andylockran> ok - type aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:07] <SirTane> andylockran: sure thing, chief
[04:07] <dmdzine> hello, does anybody know about setting up wireless usb devices on XUBUNTU
[04:07] <netyire> hmm
[04:07] <name> netyire: I just need to reset grub
[04:07] <netyire> let me try google
[04:07] <netyire> hold on...
[04:07] <name> i'll google too
[04:07] <SirTane> andylockran: how do i open another terminal?
[04:08] <SirTane> andylockran, how do i open another terminal?
[04:08] <andylockran> hold down ctrl+alt+fx (where x is a different terminal)  you're currently using f1
[04:08] <SirTane> i've got a blank screen
[04:08] <netyire> http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t36838.html
[04:08] <genii> dmdzine Perhaps try in channel #xubuntu   xubuntu is not officially supported
[04:08] <SirTane> yeah, i can get a blank black screen to come up
[04:08] <andylockran> SirTane: do you not have a command line on the other ones
[04:08] <name> seems to be a ubuntu problem
[04:08] <andylockran> try f3 f4 f5
[04:08] <SirTane> nope, i do not
[04:08] <dmdzine> i need help
[04:08] <SirTane> same deal
[04:09] <SirTane> i have the blinking cursor
[04:09] <SirTane> but that's all
[04:09] <SirTane> when i type, nothing comes up
[04:09] <andylockran> ok :s  =  have you ever used 'screen' before?
[04:09] <netyire> http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t36838.html
[04:09] <aldarsior> why can nmap only scan 5 hosts before crashing?
[04:09] <netyire> name: any success with following
[04:09] <SirTane> screen?  i don't think so
[04:09] <name> kbrooks_: I think i know you, are you in #blender @ freenode?
[04:09] <aldarsior> and by crashing I mean hanging indefinitely
[04:09] <aldarsior> until sigint
[04:09] <andylockran> ok - you'll have to quit irssi to do this - but then you'll be able to get back in
[04:09] <SlimeyPete> aldarsior: it should be able to. Sounds like something's up with your system.
[04:09] <SirTane> that's fine
[04:09] <kbrooks_> name: no
[04:09] <andylockran> write down these commands
[04:10] <rpedro> can someone tell me what the process 'klogd' does?
[04:10] <name> hm,i know your nick tho
[04:10] <SirTane> sure thing
[04:10] <andylockran> aptitude install screen
[04:10] <dmdzine> i need help with a wireless usb toggle
[04:10] <andylockran> then when you type screen you'll get a new screen
[04:10] <kbrooks_> name: uh, yeah, i'm kyle brooks
[04:10] <SirTane> k
[04:10] <SirTane> so get two of those going, i assume?
[04:10] <andylockran> then restart irssi and come back here :)
[04:10] <aldarsior> SlimeyPete, any idea what it could be?
[04:10] <SirTane> you got it.
[04:10] <SirTane> exit
[04:10] <SirTane> err
[04:10] <SirTane> HAH
[04:10] <andylockran> hehe
[04:10] <SirTane> how do i exit?
[04:10] <hero> rpedro: it's the kernel logging daemon
[04:10] <SlimeyPete> aldarsior: does other networking stuff work ok?
[04:11] <andylockran> type /part
[04:11] <name> man this sucks, must use a script to make chroot work, what did ubuntu do there again
[04:11] <aldarsior> SlimeyPete, yep
[04:11] <dmdzine> can someone help me with my wireless networking
[04:11] <SlimeyPete> aldarsior: is there  a firewall or router betwen you and the other machines?
[04:11] <rpedro> hero: and do you know where it writes the logs, what file?
[04:11] <aldarsior> SlimeyPete, they're not in my subnet, I'm scanning one of our other subnets
[04:11] <hero> rpedro: take a look in /var/log
[04:12] <name> doesn't matter, I'm just gonna use the gentoo live-cd
[04:12] <SlimeyPete> aldarsior: at a guess, some firewall or IDS is detecting the scan and blocking you
[04:12] <SirTane> k
[04:12] <aldarsior> root_____, don't irc as root.
[04:12] <name> thanks anyway
[04:12] <SirTane> screen
[04:12] <SirTane> done :p
[04:12] <SlimeyPete> aldarsior: nmap does seem to take forever to time out when it's being blocked
[04:12] <hero> rpedro: it might be called kernel or kern.log.  but look around in that directory
[04:12] <aldarsior> SlimeyPete, that's annoying. I'll have to kick the cisco guy
[04:12] <rpedro> hero: just had what seems was a freeze (the screen wouldn't light up). went to ssh session I had from another pc, running top, it was klogd hogging the cpu
[04:12] <name> I'll just search another live-cd around here
[04:12] <hero> rpedro: yeah, i read that
[04:13] <SirTane> andylockran: got screens installed
[04:13] <andylockran> SirTane: excellent
[04:13] <rpedro> hero: hmm, a bug report?
[04:13] <hero> rpedro: probably not. there's probably a good explanation for your problem.
[04:13] <andylockran> SirTane: what's happening is that you're running this on a virtual screen - so you can leave this running even when doing other stuff
[04:14] <SirTane> ah
[04:14] <andylockran> to detach from this screen press ctrl+d then a  -and to RE-attach type screen -raAd
[04:14] <PG_> no i dont have quite
[04:14] <hero> rpedro: does this problem happen often or just once?
[04:14] <PG_> quit
[04:14] <andylockran> SirTane: try that
[04:14] <Montaro> i think its actually ctrl+a then d
[04:14] <Montaro> not ctrl+d then a
[04:15] <rpedro> hero: not sure, first time I looked in ssh session from another machine when this has happened
[04:15] <SirTane> um
[04:15] <SirTane> what?
[04:15] <SirTane> nothing happened
[04:15] <andylockran> SirTane: when you press ctrl+d then a does it send you ack to command line (it should)
[04:15] <hero> rpedro: kernel hacking is a bit outside my expertise. i'd disable power management in your screen if it happens again.
[04:15] <SirTane> control d, much like the goggles, does nothing
[04:15] <andylockran> sorry
[04:15] <andylockran> SirTane: ctrl+a then d
[04:15] <andylockran> oops - my bad
[04:16] <andylockran> but rember how to get back in
[04:16] <Montaro> andylockran: i was about to correct you again :P
[04:16] <andylockran> Montaro: thanks :p 0 didn't see that
[04:16] <name> now i got it
[04:16] <name> it was the automounters fault
[04:16] <netyire> !
[04:16] <SirTane2> yeah
[04:16] <SirTane2> it worked
[04:17] <Montaro> SirTane: also, if you have multiple screens running do screen -x to show a list and then you'll need to do screen -r <pid>
[04:17] <SirTane2> but i couldn't figure out how to get back to this
[04:17] <SirTane2> so i missed pretty much everything you said
[04:17] <andylockran> screen -raAd
[04:17] <rpedro> hero: had some freezes before, almost always when I'm at the pc, normally moving the mouse or something, the screen just freezes, though not sure if all the apps do, like if I have media player playing music, not sure right now, but I think sound just stops.
[04:17] <rpedro> ...
[04:17] <SirTane2> how would i get back to it?
[04:17] <andylockran> go back to the command line - and just type screen- -raAd
[04:17] <SirTane2> with the slashes like that?
[04:17] <andylockran> 'screen -raAd
[04:17] <SirTane2> k
[04:17] <hero> rpedro: your question might be answered better in another channel. maybe #linux
[04:17] <andylockran> no, just the one
[04:17] <name> amen
[04:17] <name> thank you
[04:18] <SirTane> got it
[04:18] <PG_> some girls here
[04:18] <andylockran> ok - now on the command line run sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:18] <SirTane> k
[04:18] <andylockran> Montaro: what's your opinion on SirTane's situation?
[04:19] <bobbob1016> ny00123, I found out what the issue that caused nautilus to crash was, not sure why it'd happen all of the sudden, but it was my auto-mount for a network drive, I took it out of the fstab, and rebooted, and everything works fine.
[04:19] <rpedro> hero: I was thinking this could be because I have an ati card, but other things are affected, like right now, when this last crash, I had top running in ssh session, when I exited it I couldn't run any other programs, got input/output errors or something similar
[04:20] <Montaro> andylockran: I think he needs to figure out the ctrl+a then d thing.. its a bit hard to explain in text.. lets try.. basically do this.. press ctrl+a (like ctrl and a at the same time) then let it off and hit d.. that should detatch you.. make any sense?
[04:20] <ny00123> bobbob1016 I've read
[04:20] <andylockran> Montaro: sorry - that's all working fine
[04:20] <PG_> i need a driver who runs 3d games and beryl
[04:20] <hero> rpedro: strange. i have no idea, sorry.
[04:20] <rambo3> PG_, buy nvidia
[04:20] <andylockran> Montaro: he can't get a graphical environment after a fresh netinstall of ubuntu
[04:20] <PG_> hehehe funny
[04:20] <Montaro> ahh
[04:21] <Montaro> what kind of error is startx giving?
[04:21] <Tha-Fox> is there anyone who could help me to install acer_acpi?
[04:21] <rpedro> hero: ok, thx anyway
[04:21] <ny00123> bobbob1016, maybe there's some bad file in that network drive? (e.g. a non-standard png) or permissions/connectivity issue?
[04:21] <andylockran> Montaro: so just got him to get screen an irssi working so I could help him
[04:21] <andylockran> he's getting those outputs for me now
[04:21] <Barber> God Day all
[04:21] <PG_> i neeeeeeeeed a ati driver who runsssssssss 3d games and beryl does something like this exist?????????
[04:21] <rambo3> no
[04:21] <andylockran> PG_: aiglx
[04:22] <PG_> who can i download them
[04:22] <Montaro> andylockran: ok cool, the errors its giving should aid us in a more successful diagnosis of the problem :)
[04:22] <pike__> PG_: you need an nvidia card :) an older one that costs just a few bucks
[04:22] <Barber> How do i set up a usb drive for install
[04:22] <andylockran> PG_: there are loads of howtos on running beryl and ati - I've seen a few trying to get the nvidia beryl working
[04:22] <andylockran> just google :p
[04:22] <bobbob1016> ny00123, I don't think so, since I manually mounted it just now, and it works fine, it might have been an SMB update or something
[04:22] <PG_> ok you have right but i used this pc for games in windos
[04:22] <rpedro> hero: btw no messages in either /var/log/kern.log or .../messages since around 07:30, it's 15:22 where I am
[04:22] <ny00123> oh-k
[04:22] <ny00123> ;P
[04:22] <andylockran> Montaro: I've also got him to run aptitude install ubuntu-desktop - to make sure he's got all the packages installed
[04:23] <hero> rpedro: weird. maybe some hardware isn't configured properly?
[04:23] <imitation> hey, i thinking about setting up a 64bit-ubuntu. Is it possible to use my existing 32bit installation as a chroot in the 64bit one?
[04:23] <PG_> andylockran: On my pc beryl runs but no 3d games
[04:23] <rpedro> could be
[04:23] <bobbob1016> ny00123, I'm going to figure that out now, I just thought you'd want to know what the solution was, thanks again
[04:23] <Montaro> andylockran: good thinking, has he already done installed the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, or is he doing that now?
[04:23] <ny00123> bobbob1016 no problem ;D
[04:24] <genii> Barber Make sure it's plugged in and connected then run the usual install. It will be some device like /dev/sdX   where X is the number, depending on how many hd you have already in the computer
[04:24] <pike__> andylockran: can he grab the xfonts-base and xserver-xorg packages?
[04:24] <PG_> shit ati i hate they why they cant make a driver
[04:24] <andylockran> Montaro: I don't know - ut given he's not back here yet means that the aptitude install ubuntu-desktop probably had to do something
[04:24] <andylockran> pike__: ^same
[04:24] <genii> Barber Also your bios of computer should be set to allow boot from usb/alternate sources
[04:25] <Barber> ok
[04:25] <Barber> got a usb 40gb hard drive 33gb is fat 16
[04:25] <Montaro> andylockran: ah i see. which might be a good thing, that might even solve his problem alone. Lets hope he either has the CD setup as his apt mirror, or he had a decent connection, because a full ubuntu-desktop install is quite large if you need to download it all on a slow line :P
[04:25] <andylockran> Montaro: pike__:  I'm gonna have to head out in 5 - and chance one of you can talk it throgh with SirTane?
[04:25] <Barber> the rest is unused
[04:26] <genii> Barber If you will be trying to use this on other systems, then you should in bios make the usb first boot device. then install the grub at end of install to mbr of the drive
[04:26] <Montaro> andylockran: sure thing I'll help him as best i can.
[04:26] <andylockran> Montaro: kudos
[04:26] <Barber> kk thanks genii
[04:26] <genii> Barber np
[04:26] <Barber> :)
[04:26] <Montaro> andylockran: np, ciao :)
[04:26] <Montaro> SirTane: you around yet?
[04:27] <Tha-Fox> I tried to install acer_acpi but it says there's no support for 2.4-series kernel. could someone help me to install some other version?
[04:27] <k-os> how do i run the text install from the ubuntu 7.04 cd?
[04:28] <Michael147> Can anybody reccommend a firewall for linux?
[04:28] <andylockran> Michael147: shorewall
[04:28] <andylockran> Montaro: see you later - off now
[04:28] <genii> Yes, shorewall is good
[04:28] <Michael147> Thanks alot and andylockran
[04:28] <ZeroA4> k-os, you need the AlternateCD
[04:28] <genii> Also smoothwall but i think it is still commercial
[04:28] <ZeroA4> k-os, The DesktopCD does not have text install
[04:29] <k-os> ZeroA4: , was afriad so, the graphical installer quits during the install, no info or any reason why
[04:29] <Barber> gona try a differant usb hard drive
[04:29] <Klekkus> daan: I'm using ssh. i dont have control over the dektop
[04:29] <genii> k-os: What type cpu do you have?
[04:29] <Klekkus> so i need a command
[04:29] <k-os> genii: Intel Centron
[04:30] <genii> k-os Dual core?
[04:30] <k-os> genii, yes
[04:30] <jnewman> an anyone help me with a graphics card issue
[04:30] <genii> k-os Try then putting as a kernel option before install starts,   notsc
[04:30] <daan> Klekkus: then I don't know how to do it
[04:30] <Klekkus> k
[04:31] <k-os> genii, nevermind, it is not dual core
[04:31] <genii> k-os: Also if you have multi-head video or more than one video card try plugging monitor into the other plugs to see if default video is perhaps not what you were using before
[04:31] <k-os> genii my bad: it's a Intel Celeron D. processor
[04:31] <genii> k-os: Ah, OK :)
[04:31] <dmdzine> Can anyone help me with my wireless networking problems
[04:31] <Michael147> andylockran, i did sudo apt-get install shorewall and its installed. But there is no icon inside my applications menu, how come?

[04:34] <daan> OrionBerlin: you need to look around in gconf-editor
[04:34] <imitation> !ask | dmdzine
[04:34] <ubotu> dmdzine: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:35] <genii> daan Probably but offhand I don't know how. Generally these days i use FreeNX

[04:37] <PG_> no helpt i hate this shit
[04:37] <Karen> Hi everyone.  I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 7.04.  It locks up right around the point where you pick the language for the install, and it's slow as molasses even before then.  Some background info: The computer I'm installing on currently has FreeBSD on it, I ran an md5checksum of the download, it's i386 and should be... Any thoughts?
[04:38] <dmdzine> im rather new to linux, so if anyone could help me figure out what to do with my little device, it would be much appreciated
[04:38] <daan> Karen: is there something strange in the dmesg ?
[04:38] <Buzzards> I am considering handing my laptop down to a friend of mine in the computer science department who wants to use it in his network. I had been running Xubuntu on it. I reinstalled Xubuntu in order format the drive.
[04:38] <Buzzards> I need to know if it is possible for my data to be recovered despite my attempts to format?
[04:38] <stefg> Karen: some hardware specs?
[04:38] <SeveredCross> Buzzards: Technically, yes.
[04:39] <Karen> PC.  256 Ram.
[04:39] <SeveredCross> You'd want to use a boot disk that could really nuke things.
[04:39] <doojin> hi
[04:39] <doojin> I'm on ubuntu
[04:39] <dmdzine> buzzards: formatting the hard drive won't get rid of the info
[04:39] <gordonjcp> dmdzine: sorry, I don't actually use ndiswrapper, I just now that it exists
[04:39] <doojin> how can I use a wireless lan?
[04:39] <Karen> Old-ish, but has run okay on windows recently.
[04:39] <jnewman> hi, having some problems getting my screen resolution up to a decent level.
[04:39] <SeveredCross> There's a standard Linux command too I think.
[04:39] <doojin> I plugged it in, but it doesn't work
[04:39] <gordonjcp> dmdzine: I'm one of those really annoying people that only ever has fully supported hardware
[04:39] <jnewman> i am stuck at 1024x768
[04:39] <dmdzine> you need to use a drive wiper...
[04:39] <SeveredCross> Buzzards: shred
[04:39] <Karen> What's dmesg?
[04:39] <Klekkus> daan: nah it did'nt :( it's one more line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en""
[04:39] <dmdzine> good for you gordonjcp
[04:39] <Buzzards> SeveredCross, dmdzine: if i install windows... and then install xubuntu on top of it..
[04:39] <doojin> Ubuntu recognizes the wireless lan, but the lan doesn't work, why not?
[04:39] <Buzzards> SeveredCross, dmdzine: would that sufficiently 'mess things up'?
[04:39] <dmdzine> buzzards: it's probably still possible to access the data
[04:39] <CarinArr> doojin: can you !pastebin the output of iwconfig
[04:40] <SeveredCross> Yes, but that's a bloody waste of time.
[04:40] <SeveredCross> Just use shred from the LiveCD.
[04:40] <SeveredCross> Or
[04:40] <Buzzards> SeveredCross: that wouldn't be accessible from the ISO disc would it ><?
[04:40] <k31th> I need to completely remove all my linux partitions plus sw raid devices wats the best option the ubuntu installer wont do it, it just bitches about not being able to delete the device as its in use.
[04:40] <daan> Klekkus: what if you also add LANG
[04:40] <SeveredCross> dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda
[04:40] <stefg> Karen: 256 MB is the bare minimum for the desktop install. if you managed to install *BSD, an alternate install of ubuntu won't frighten you. You're just running out of memery afaics
[04:40] <SeveredCross> Buzzards: Sure, why not. It's part of the standard system.
[04:40] <dmdzine> all the data beyond the 5 or so gigs of the windows install would be all that would be erased
[04:40] <SeveredCross> The dd above would work too.
[04:41] <Klekkus> daan: i've also added "LANG=.................."
[04:41] <SeveredCross> For even better erasure, use /dev/urandom rather than /dev/null
[04:41] <jnewman> i have gone to system>administration>restricted devices and enabled the ATI driver there but i am only getting a max 1024x768 in screen reolution. can anyone help
[04:41] <daan> Klekkus: I mean LANGUAGE
[04:41] <SeveredCross> /dev/urandom would overwrite every byte on the disk with random bullshit.
[04:41] <Buzzards> SeveredCross: i'll look into that. sincerest thanks for getting me started
[04:41] <dmdzine> buzzard: or use some other freeware hard drive wiper
[04:41] <SeveredCross> After which a format would work as desired.
[04:41] <dmdzine> yes
[04:41] <daan> Klekkus: LANGUAGE="en_US.en"
[04:41] <Karen> stefg: That sounds plausible.  The alternate install is easier on memory?
[04:41] <ZeZu> jnewman, if the driver is working, perhaps you need to change your monitor settings to allow a higher res.
[04:42] <stefg> !alternate | Karen
[04:42] <ubotu> Karen: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[04:42] <dmdzine> can anyone help me set up my wireless wg111v2
[04:42] <Klekkus> daan: so you are sugesting... Ahh, got it. i''l try
[04:42] <ZeZu> jnewman, these settings are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf normally
[04:42] <jnewman> ZeZu: how do i go about that???  forgive me i am bran new to linux. just learning the ropes
[04:42] <daan> Klekkus: put both in there
[04:43] <Klekkus> LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en"
[04:43] <Klekkus> LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
[04:43] <netyire> jnewman:  try editing your xorg.conf file
[04:43] <ZeZu> jnewman, you can go an open it in a text editor from places menu, i'd suggest reading a bit about xorg.conf first
[04:43] <netyire> its located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:43] <netyire> type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:43] <atomiku> I've got a strange samba problem, My linux box can not resolve the NetBIOS name of my windows computer, and my windows computer can not resolve the NetBIOS name of my linux box, nor can it access it's share. samba is definitely running. Any ideas?
[04:43] <SeveredCross> Or you can do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-xserver
[04:43] <ZeZu> the sections are fairly obvious, but you'll need to edit it as root (use sudo or smth)
[04:43] <netyire> scroll down to till you see resolutions
[04:43] <netyire> enter the one you want, copy the above, paste and edit it
[04:43] <netyire> then restart x
[04:43] <Tha-Fox> is there anyone with acer laptop?
[04:44] <netyire> ctl+alt+backspace
[04:44] <ZeZu> or as netyire suggests, use gedit
[04:44] <netyire> thanks :D
[04:44] <netyire> *wanders off*
[04:44] <stefg> Karen: and consider xubuntu. ubuntu (gnome) will run, but xubuntu (xfce) will be much more fun to work with on that hardware
[04:45] <dmdzine> yes xubuntu is WICKED fast
[04:45] <dmdzine> fun fun fun!
[04:45] <jvai> hey ppl gm, any1 with ubuntu on a z60m thinkpad? my sound is sooo low, & only controlable from the hardware not the software
[04:45] <alesan> dmdzine, thank you, I'll have to install that on my old pc
[04:45] <doojin> hi
[04:45] <doojin> hmm?
[04:46] <Karen> What's the diff btwn ubuntu & xubuntu?
[04:46] <dmdzine> yes i just installed it on an old dell
[04:46] <ZeZu> jvai, you've tried alsamixer?
[04:46] <stefg> !xubuntu | karen
[04:46] <ubotu> karen: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[04:46] <jvai> yes zeze it's on alsa now
[04:46] <Michael147> dmdzine, i didnt notice any differance in speed when switching from windows to linux.
[04:46] <alesan> hey people I'd need an advice. how can I disable the "suspend" and/or "hibernate" functions in the shutdown menu'? I have a system that will crash with those options and I do not want the users to be able to select them
[04:46] <jvai> zeze it says "hda/alsa
[04:47] <dmdzine> the dell (128mb RAM , 933mhz PentiumIII) with xubuntu.... runs faster than my new computer (512mb Ram, Athlon XP 3000+) that is running xp
[04:47] <Karen> So essentially, it's just a difference of the GUI?
[04:47] <dmdzine> The key is to use xubuntu, not ubuntu or kubuntu.
[04:47] <Karen> because the interface requires less memory?
[04:47] <dmdzine> karen: xubuntu looks much like ubuntu, just stripped down
[04:47] <stefg> Karen: yes.
[04:47] <Karen> cool
[04:47] <jvai> <-- on dapper, but wondering if newer versions would fix the sound issue
[04:47] <Michael147> dmdzine, xubuntu?
[04:47] <Michael147> Fill me in.
[04:48] <dmdzine> michael147: huh
[04:48] <Karen> Thanks for all the help.  I think I've got some good ideas to give a try.
[04:48] <dr_willis> xubuntu = ubuntu-gnome+XFCE
[04:48] <Lorne_Kun> is there a way to just instal xfce?
[04:48] <dr_willis> MyPersonalUbuntu=Ubuntu+XFCE+KDE+WindowMaker+..... ya get the idea.. :)
[04:48] <dr_willis> !info xfce
[04:48] <ubotu> Package xfce does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:48] <dmdzine> xubuntu is a stripped down version of ubuntu using xfce, not gnome, as dr_willis pointed out. It runs very fast, even on older computers
[04:48] <dr_willis> !find xfce
[04:49] <ubotu> Found: gtk2-engines-xfce, libxfce4mcs-client3, libxfce4mcs-dev, libxfce4mcs-manager3, libxfce4util-dev (and 51 others)
[04:49] <stefg> !xubuntu
[04:49] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[04:49] <dfgas> i want a ftp server that has a gui for adding users or something along that line that is easy to setup and setting where they can do downloads
[04:49] <dfgas> any ideaS?
[04:49] <dr_willis> the xubuntu-desktop will install the xuubuntu desktop.. amazing enough. :)
[04:49] <jvai> what's going to replace dapper '09?
[04:49] <dmdzine> if you have less than 196mb of ram, use the xubuntu alternate install disk
[04:49] <dr_willis> xfce does use parts of gnome I do belive...

[04:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[04:50] <dmdzine> it uses a text interface, because it takes at least 196 mb of Ram to run the live CD, but only 128 to run it from hard drive
[04:50] <Rhynri> how do you add HFS+ support to gparted?
[04:50] <Ditiris> Anyone know what to do if modprobe fails during system startup?

[04:50] <stefg> Ditiris: what are you tryinf to do? install nvidia-drivers?
[04:51] <Pirate_Hunter> hi im back
[04:51] <Rhynri> koen - two of the same question is more powerful than one
[04:51] <Ditiris> stefg: I'm trying to boot into Ubuntu for the first time after an alternate install.
[04:51] <dmdzine> can anyone help me with my netgear wireless usb device? i am having trouble getting it to work
[04:51] <stefg> Ditiris: so define 'modprobe doesn't work' ?
[04:51] <koen> i say, how do you add hfs+ support to (g)parted
[04:51] <dmdzine> i read the articles on the ubuntu site, but they were confusing and didn't work
[04:52] <jvai> what's going to replace dapper in '09?
[04:52] <guardian> hi
[04:52] <Rhynri> hi
[04:52] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> whats the best ubuntu for low ram users, I might decide to install it on my other comp

[04:53] <Hobbsee> he gets kickbanned in one channel, so he pastes it in another????
[04:53] <guardian> Scunizi: indeed
[04:53] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> Hobbsee: someone shouldve told him to use pastebin from the beginign
[04:53] <Rhynri> yikes
[04:53] <newuser00> using apt get to install xubuntu on ubuntu is the same thing as downloading xubuntu and installing it?
[04:53] <Rhynri> probably did Pr8t-Hunt3r
[04:54] <mrsno> newuser00 yes

[04:54] <ZeZu> Hobbsee, prob has mirc and just keeps pasting into new window after one closed
[04:54] <mrsno> newuser00 the package is called xubuntu-desktop
[04:54] <Scunizi> guardian, which program are you trying to use it in.
[04:54] <Hobbsee> yeah...maybe...
[04:54] <Hobbsee> call the ops again if he starts up again
[04:54] <dmdzine> Pr8t-Hunt3r: what are the specs on your older machine

[04:55] <newuser00> Xfce*

[04:56] <dmdzine> Pr8t-Hunt3r: hold on one sec
[04:56] <Scunizi> guardian, ambitious!  there are threads about setting up the wacom as an actual tablet instead of the typical default HID device.  Some of those threads might guide you.  Let me look for a link. brb
[04:56] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> dmdzine: kk
[04:56] <koen> Rhynri, it will be tough, good luck though. I did it once before with no succes. But again, good luck! let me know
[04:57] <dmdzine> Pr8t-Hunt3r: you should use Xubuntu
[04:57] <dmdzine> there are both 32 and 64 bit versions
[04:57] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> dmdzine: np will look into that does Feisty support voice recognition?
[04:57] <dmdzine> It is blazingly fast
[04:57] <dmdzine> i don't know
[04:57] <Scunizi> guardian, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Wacom-Tablet-HOWTO.html#ss5.16  & http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Wacom-Tablet-HOWTO.html might help out..
[04:58] <guardian> thx
[04:58] <guardian> gonna try
[04:58] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> does Feisty support voice recognition?
[04:58] <dmdzine> http://xubuntu.com
[04:58] <Scunizi> guardian, good luck....
[04:58] <Frogzoo> dmdzine: will I miss gnome features with xubuntu ?
[04:58] <guardian> Scunizi: thx :)
[04:58] <Ditiris> okay, well, sorry about the large text...
[04:59] <dmdzine> frogzoo: not necessarily
[04:59] <Frogzoo> hmm maybe worth a look then
[04:59] <Ditiris> stefg: Here's the console output: http://paste.uni.cc/16642
[04:59] <dmdzine> i believe you can run gnome features and KDE features in it, even though it uses xfce
[04:59] <jnewman> zezu: OK now confused. i am looking in the xorg.conf file and i have several resolutions listed one is 1680x1050 however this is not listed in screen resolution?/
[04:59] <stefg> Ditiris: k, let me see
[04:59] <ZeZu> jnewman, what section?
[05:00] <dmdzine> frogzoo: from the xubuntu site "If you wish, you can install any KDE or GNOME application on your Xubuntu desktop system, as it shares the Ubuntu main and universe package selection."
[05:00] <ZeZu> jnewman, you can also try ctrl + alt + [Numpad +]
[05:00] <jnewman> zezu: subsection "display"
[05:00] <jvai> the medibuntu server is out
[05:01] <stefg> Ditiris: this looks either like a kernel issue, or faulty ram (or libc being on a faulty harddrive sector). Can you rule out hardware problems?
[05:02] <blithen> I am trying to run a .run file, anyway to do that in the terminal?
[05:02] <dr_willis> blithen,  what run file?  chmod +x whatever.run && ./whatever.run
[05:02] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> jnewman: look for the defaul section display it is mostly 24 and add the resolution you want and restart and log out and control+alt+back space
[05:02] <Ditiris> stefg: Yes I can rule out hardware errors.  Passes all memory tests and I've been using the system to run Vista of all things with no problems.
[05:02] <checkergrrl> whats is the best way of learning to write bash scripts ?
[05:02] <blithen> It's a punkbust updater
[05:03] <neverblue> checkergrrl, there are a few tutorials
[05:03] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  read read read read...  :) and then dive in.
[05:03] <Pici> checkergrrl: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[05:03] <Frogzoo> checkergrrl: d/l a few bash scripts & read them
[05:03] <neverblue> i used one written by Larry Wall
[05:03] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  'advanced bash scripting guide'
[05:03] <softnoise> hello anybody there i'm a beginner and need some help installing ubuntu onto a Dell Inspiron1200
[05:03] <neverblue> from Perl fame...
[05:03] <stefg> Ditiris: so this happens at every reboot?
[05:03] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  is a must read/bookmark/read a few weeks later.. then a few mo later.. :) guide.
[05:03] <checkergrrl> wowoow...thank you guys!
[05:03] <neverblue> np
[05:04] <checkergrrl> i got a test soon for LPI101
[05:04] <checkergrrl> i want to get ready for it
[05:04] <Ditiris> stefg: Yes, the system has never succesfully booted Ubuntu.  It either gives me that error message or does a hard reboot.
[05:04] <neverblue> learning regex might be good as well
[05:04] <neverblue> oh, test
[05:04] <TechSalvager> checkergrrl, whats that?
[05:04] <TechSalvager> LPI101?
[05:05] <neverblue> learning programming for interfaces?
[05:05] <softnoise> can some help see if i can test to see if i have enough main memory on my Dell Inspiron1200
[05:05] <neverblue> hehe
[05:05] <jnewman> ZeZu: i have tried ctrl + Alt + [Numpad +]  - this does change the resolution but not above 1024x768
[05:05] <stefg> Ditiris: so it's likely the kernel or some driver doesn't like your hardware. there are several boot options to try out
[05:05] <dr_willis> softnoise,  how much memory does the bios post screen show?
[05:05] <stefg> !boot | Ditiris
[05:05] <ubotu> Ditiris: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:05] <checkergrrl> LPI 101 its an exam i have to take
[05:05] <softnoise> let me chk
[05:05] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> jnewman: look for the defaul section display it is mostly 24 and add the resolution you want and restart and log out and control+alt+back space
[05:05] <tck-afk> checkergrrl, join #lpi will you?
[05:06] <checkergrrl> TechSalvager
[05:06] <ZeZu> jnewman, might have to ask someone else then, i've had similar issues in ubuntu before myself
[05:06] <genii> Ditiris: I suspect some memory addressing error. You can specify at kernel option the exact ram. eg: mem=<exact number bios reports as ram>
[05:06] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> jnewman: unlkess u want to reconfigure xorg
[05:06] <ZeZu> I think installing nvidia drivers fixed for me then
[05:06] <tck-afk> checkergrrl, shit don't thats an official chan haha, join #lpi-chat

[05:06] <softnoise> it says 256 MB on dell i12000
[05:07] <softnoise> is that enough memory of fiesty fawn?
[05:07] <annimar> hi
[05:07] <softnoise> hi
[05:08] <annimar> can anyone help me getting rid of an restricted nvidia driver
[05:08] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> softnoise: you cna install it but its not enough 512 to a 1gig would be better
[05:08] <annimar> I know, I know, no support
[05:08] <annimar> :)
[05:08] <annimar> I thought I'd give the restricted nvidia driver a try in feisty
[05:08] <annimar> but it didn't work
[05:08] <zabin> Hello
[05:08] <annimar> All I have now is a black screen
[05:08] <genii> softnoise: Yes. i'm running Feisty on 128Mb p2 400
[05:08] <jnewman> zezu: ok thanks
[05:09] <zabin> Can someone help me in mounting a drive?
[05:09] <dhuid> hey
[05:09] <annimar> can I unistall the driver in the terminal somehow?
[05:09] <neverblue> zabin man mount
[05:09] <dhuid> I cannot listen to my collection with feisty
[05:09] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> zabin: if you dont get a response the first time ask the question again
[05:09] <dhuid> does it read mp3?
[05:09] <zabin> neverble: i know
[05:09] <dhuid> rhythmbox
[05:09] <mundungus> hellloo! i jus checked my ppp0 file in chatscripts folder, i wanted to ask, how can i add my number to the script 'ATDT*99#'?
[05:09] <neverblue> zabin, maybe you might want to be a bit more specific
[05:09] <softnoise> so what do i do now i got the Dvd from the Linux Mag?
[05:09] <zabin> i did sudo mount /dev/hda  /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[05:09] <zabin> but that didnt work
[05:10] <neverblue> zabin, asking just a general question doesnt help you, nor the person assisting
[05:10] <dr_willis> softnoise,  thatss a bit low on the ram end..  xubuntu may work better for you then ubuntu/kubuntu.
[05:10] <neverblue> its ntfs
[05:10] <dr_willis> softnoise,  but it should work  (will be a bit slow)
[05:10] <neverblue> what happens when you run that mount?
[05:10] <mundungus> hellloo! i jus checked my ppp0 file in chatscripts folder, i wanted to ask, how can i add my number to the script 'ATDT*99#'?
[05:10] <zabin> im running a live cd and i need to recovery a file off my windows hard drive. in Gparted the hard drive shows up and is listed as /dev/hda2 but im trying to mount it
[05:10] <genii> mundungus: Just put 2 commas then the phone number
[05:11] <mundungus> anyone listening?
[05:11] <stefg> !dialup | mundungus
[05:11] <ubotu> mundungus: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[05:11] <Klekkus> can anybody tel me how to change the language from german to english? I'm using ssh.
[05:11] <rdz> hi all. is there some way to convert 'canon raw files' into jpg under ubuntu?
[05:11] <Tehk> Is there a way to install kubuntu on another harddrive without messing up my grub of my current ubntu install?
[05:11] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> dr_willis: amazingly I have stated that already but I guess 3 ppl saying the samething is better than one
[05:11] <softnoise> ok i am going to bootup with the DVD and i tell you the
[05:11] <softnoise> GMONE gui daemon error screen in a minute....
[05:11] <dr_willis> Pr8t-Hunt3r,  my wife never listens to me either.
[05:11] <genii> mundungus: You need to edit the file with sudo privelege btw
[05:11] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> mundungus: if you dont get a respnse aks your quetsion again
[05:12] <Rhynri> so, anyone know how to add hfs+ capability to gparted?
[05:12] <neverblue> Rhynri, i think there is a gparted channel, isnt there?
[05:12] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> dr_willis: lol well she has an excuse theer and she wears the trousers figuratively speaking :-)
[05:12] <macabro22> Hello
[05:12] <mundungus> stefg: it had syntax before i messed it up now it daent connect automatically wen i boot, i fink that i forgot somefing wen i was tryinh to return the file the way it was!
[05:13] <macabro22> I was wondering if anyone has democracytv working in Ubuntu?
[05:13] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> !question
[05:13] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:13] <dr_willis> Pr8t-Hunt3r,  but she listens to what everyone ELSE says.. just not me.
[05:13] <Rhynri> neverblue - perhaps, but I can easily do it on gentoo, so obviously the approach in ubuntu is different
[05:13] <softnoise> ive clickd on start & install and i see the Ubuntu logo with a bar going back and forth
[05:13] <mundungus> genii: true, i am in sudo mode,i want it to connect automatically like it used before, now i have to do a wvdial evrytime i boot!
[05:13] <dr_willis> 'gentoo is different' - I think we all can agree with that.
[05:13] <macabro22> I can't get audio playback on DemocracyPlayer. Sound works in every other app
[05:13] <Ditiris> stefg: Thanks, will try.
[05:14] <Ditiris> genii: Thanks, will try.
[05:14] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> dr_willis: u know the moto wife knows best and others are intune with he wife not you, compatibility reasons
[05:14] <genii> mundungus: putting the 2 commas will make it wait 2 seconds. Then just put in the ISP dialup number

[05:15] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> macabro22: the message from obutu
[05:15] <Tha-Fox> should this command "echo "enabled: 1">/proc/acpi/acer/wireless" in terminal give me a next line where blinks ">" as a first character?
[05:15] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> !codecs

[05:15] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> !codec
[05:16] <annimar> thanks. figured it out by myself
[05:16] <annimar> simply reconfigured xorg
[05:16] <softnoise> but the side to side bar is still swinging side 2 side...
[05:16] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r but don't you think its wierd that only one player applet wont have audio?
[05:16] <softnoise> now its like a gas gage bar...from left 2 right
[05:16] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> annimar: im rpetty sure i told you or soemone else to reconfigure Xorg as last choice heck arent ppl listening today
[05:16] <newuser00> how can reactivate the "layers" window in gimp after i closed it? i closed it once accidentally and now i cant find it.
[05:16] <UberPsyX> hi guys, just installed my graphics card ( nvidia GeForce7600GT) and want to install the official drivers, which do i need?
[05:17] <neverblue> UberPsyX, fiesty?
[05:17] <softnoise> now the screen is total black....
[05:17] <UberPsyX> neverblue, yes
[05:18] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> macabro22: it depends if you upgraded OS i.e. dapper to Feisty than it might mean that the codecs/libraries werent properly updated which happened in my case and if you use auomatix than that will cuase problems... but than you havent explained much
[05:18] <neverblue> use the 'restricted drivers' under System->Admin
[05:18] <softnoise> now i've got with ghost background x in the middle of the screen
[05:18] <softnoise> now i've got the orange splash screen background..with a mouse pointer
[05:19] <UberPsyX> neverblue ok ill try it
[05:19] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> softnoise: pelase explain to em whats going on with your com caus ei los the plot
[05:19] <UberPsyX> neverblue, it says i have no hardware that need restricted drivers
[05:19] <softnoise> the disk lite and the dvd flash but the orange splash still is on
[05:20] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> softnoise: seriosuly thats not much of an explanation what are you trying to do or what has happened
[05:20] <Ditiris> So really basic question: I'm not doing anything wrong by using the 64-bit image on my Q6600, right?
[05:20] <neverblue> UberPsyX, look at your xorg.conf and see if its using the nvidia driver
[05:20] <llllllll> In firefox it keeps underlining misspelt words. Is the dictionary used in firefox or ubuntu? How do I change the dictionary used? I think it's American English at the moment because it keeps wanting me to remove vowels and replace S's with Z's.
[05:20] <softnoise> im installing to an 2G active partition that already has LINSPIRE onit
[05:20] <gordonjcp> llllllll: correct
[05:20] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> UberPsyX: you probably dont need restricted drivers... that could be what its trying to point out but than i dont knwo what youre doing
[05:20] <gordonjcp> llllllll: it's in firefox iirc
[05:21] <softnoise> the DVD came with a the LINUX MAG (UK publication)
[05:21] <jvai> how do i turn on the firefox spell checkr?
[05:21] <gordonjcp> llllllll: settings -> advanced -> languages
[05:21] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r, I upgraded from Edgy and once I used automatix. So how can I pimpoint what's wrong in Democracyplayer?
[05:21] <llllllll> Thanks
[05:21] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> Ditiris: 64x is good but a lot of apps are incompatible with it but if you like puzzles than yeah keep it
[05:21] <gordonjcp> jvai: settings -> advanced -> Check my spelling as I type
[05:21] <neverblue> can I make a .csv from an excel sheet in the OO Spreadsheet app?
[05:21] <softnoise> nothing is on the orange splash except the mouse pointer
[05:21] <gordonjcp> neverblue: yes
[05:21] <neverblue> export?
[05:22] <neverblue> im just seeing pdf and shtml
[05:22] <softnoise> and the hd & dvd light are flashing
[05:22] <jvai> oo ok ty @ gordonjcp
[05:22] <neverblue> xhtml*
[05:22] <Ditiris> Pr8t-Hunt3r: I'm going to take that as your subtle suggestion that I should try the x86 image.
[05:22] <Scunizi> neverblue, export txt then rename to cvs usually works for me.
[05:22] <gdiebel> what command triggers an acpi suspend?
[05:22] <UberPsyX> neverblue, >_< sorry im new to ubuntu, how do i check xorg.conf in terminal?
[05:22] <softnoise> do i have to erase the linspire partition all together???
[05:22] <neverblue> UberPsyX, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:23] <neverblue> then press page up/down, ctrl x to quit
[05:23] <neverblue> the commands for nano are at the bottom of the page
[05:23] <neverblue> ctrl + letter
[05:23] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> Ditiris: whatever rocks ur boat, sorry, its like there is nothing wrong using x64 if your harware supports it but youll have problems with apps and yeha i would advise sticking to 32x even in xp I use 32 times on 64x hardware
[05:24] <neverblue> gordonjcp, any response?
[05:24] <markgreene> Hey everyone. I want to record the audio that is coming our of my speakers to a file (I don't really care what format). For this scenerio I will be calling the voicemail on my cellphone and having it playback. I would like to capture the playback to a sound file for archiving. Any ideas on the best way to do this?
[05:24] <gordonjcp> neverblue: sorry, I'm working in another window and not really paying attention
[05:24] <neverblue> np
[05:24] <UberPsyX> neverblue, it mentions the name of my old GFX card (nv5m64) instead
[05:24] <gordonjcp> neverblue: should just be "save as"
[05:24] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> macabro22: yeah same prob as me, the problem with automatix before updgrading you must uninstall it and all its components to make transition easier otherwise youll notice a lot of mess ups, I had to do a clean install of Feisty but than i ahd major bugs, whats your problem
[05:24] <softnoise> ok now i've got a gray sq in the upper left corner
[05:25] <jvai> sound recorder @ markgreene
[05:25] <Scunizi> markgreene, I use gizmo with call out credit.  It has a built in recorder
[05:25] <neverblue> UberPsyX, you want to google 'ubuntu guide', look at the Edgy one, it will have a section on installing latest nvidia driver
[05:25] <UberPsyX> neverblue, would 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new' work?
[05:25] <Scunizi> markgreene, you could probably also use audacity.  Just tell it what to record from.
[05:25] <neverblue> thanks gordonjcp make me look like a noob:P
[05:26] <martyna> oooooo
[05:26] <softnoise> i did get some sound like african drum music then that quit...now i'm going to the gui daemon error message in a few minutes....
[05:26] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> softnoise: if i understand straight u got a CD from a mag and now you have installed soemhting that has messed ur comp is that right
[05:26] <softnoise> yes
[05:26] <macabro22> oh crap. I don't wanna do a Fresh Install. Everything else is so neat.
[05:26] <jvai> corrupted cd?
[05:27] <neverblue> UberPsyX, consult the guide I referred to
[05:27] <softnoise> it takes a little bit for the message to pop-up... now i got the ubuntu progress logo but the gray sq is still in the up left corner
[05:27] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> softnoise: ok now what has it damaged, sorry so many questions heer, and what exactly is happenign to the com?

[05:33] <UberPsyX> neverblue, there are a lot of references to a program called envy that finds out what card you have and sorts the rest out for you. is that ok?
[05:33] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> if thats the case have u tried a simple complete uninstall and install
[05:33] <rpelaez> hello
[05:33] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r: I guess so. Can't quite recall

[05:34] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r: Do you think uninstalling it and reinstalling  might solve the problem?
[05:34] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> macabro22: so do I try a complete unistall and install and you have updated automatix, cause the dapper version dont work on Feisty weirdly it dont update itself

[05:37] <Scunizi> rogue780, does it happen when you do something specific like open or close a window, maybe click something that doesn't do anything at that time?  Almost sounds like systems sounds.
[05:37] <dr_willis> rogue780,   check what all is running. Ive not heard of any coocoo clock programs. :) unless its a clock option im unaware of.
[05:37] <sivik> checkergrrl, that shouldn't be that hard
[05:38] <checkergrrl> okay so i got: find -name *.txt -exec cp /home/backups
[05:38] <sivik> yeah
[05:38] <rogue780> Scunizi, it happens every half hour on the half hour...I'm guessing it's tied to the clock
[05:38] <sivik> and then make a cron job
[05:38] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  you may want to start 'small' and build up your skills...
[05:39] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  so you know how to copy them first.. if thats working right.. move to the next part. :)
[05:39] <checkergrrl> now for zip i got : gzip *.txt  echo {} mv "*.txt 'date'" \;
[05:39] <hende07> can someone help me with azerus i installed and when i go do the config with like the language all that it just closes
[05:39] <Scunizi> rogue780, sounds like you need to check cron jobs, clock settings etc.. should be listed in your processes list .. maybe :P
[05:39] <dr_willis> checkergrrl,  you will proberly need to 'cd' to the proper directry first
[05:39] <neverblue> hende07, there are two ways to install it, use the second, consult the 'ubuntu guide' for instructions
[05:40] <hende07> where is ubuntu guide at
[05:40] <softnoise> ok i've turned off my nic card and i'm re-installing
[05:40] <neverblue> google my friend
[05:40] <rogue780> hende07, www.ubuntuguide.org
[05:40] <neverblue> !ubuntu_guide
[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu_guide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:40] <neverblue> hehe
[05:41] <rpelaez> any one know, how to install a lexmark z816?
[05:42] <Scunizi> rpelaez, been trying that for a year
[05:42] <neverblue> rpelaez, be more specific ?
[05:42] <neverblue> have you found a driver that supports it?
[05:42] <CaptainM> jtmoulia: Try going to system - preferences - sound and changing the default mixer tracks to PCM. that did it for me.
[05:42] <Scunizi> rpelaez, there's threads about a 6xx driver but I never got it to work on the 800 series printers.. Ended up buying a cheap samsung lazer printer.  Works great
[05:43] <person51090> hey--i was trying to install ubuntu, and the installer totally hung after the first prompt
[05:43] <person51090> any ideas?
[05:43] <tom> hi, im trying to cross compile a program for windows that uses sdl, how do i link my program against the sdl library using i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
[05:43] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r: should I reinstall via the updated automatix or from the deb file from the democracy player website?
[05:44] <jvai> ty captain
[05:44] <Scunizi> rpelaez, I looked at http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Lexmark and it shows the 810 series as a paperweight.
[05:44] <Pr8t-Hunt3r> through the .deb file but make sure or previous version are unnninstalled, automatix is good but not advisable as you cna see why always gt the .deb or source last option automatix
[05:45] <rpelaez> neverblue, i try to install that printer by the utility provide in ubuntu but it didn't apear
[05:45] <macabro22>  Pr8t-Hunt3r alright, thnx for the help
[05:45] <neverblue> rpelaez, which means you need to look online for a 'working' driver for it
[05:45] <hende07> ok i dl it the way it said i open it and you know when the first time you open it you gotta set the language and stuff it just closes or crashes or something
[05:46] <checkergrrl> sivic: i am getting an error on -exec
[05:46] <checkergrrl> on my script
[05:47] <hende07> neverblue  i dl it the way it says then the first time i openit when you should set like the language and everything it crashes
[05:47] <zabin> how do i search my computer or files that end in .qtw?
[05:47] <neverblue> bbiab
[05:47] <Scunizi> zabin ... locate *.qtw
[05:47] <person51090> When I tried to install Ubuntu graphically, after I hit "install ubuntu", it brought me to a black screen
[05:47] <Spork> hello all
[05:47] <Scunizi> zabin, or locate qtw
[05:47] <person51090> i tried to use ls to find a useful file to run the install program
[05:48] <person51090> but i had no idea where to look
[05:48] <pike_> zabin: locate .qtw or find / -name *.qtw    find is an acual search while locate searchs the latest database it created
[05:48] <hende07> neverblue
[05:48] <Spork> I am getting a bit of an error message and could use some help.  please
[05:48] <hende07> neverblue?
[05:48] <rpelaez> neverblue, excuse me but i'm beguining using linux. how can i look for it?
[05:48] <Scunizi> Spork,  error.. not receiving a specific question.. please ask the question.
[05:49] <Spork> lol Scunizi
[05:49] <zabin> Scunizi: i want to search /media/windows for it but it doesnt seem to be searching that..
[05:49] <hende07> ????
[05:49] <hende07> ?
[05:49] <schecky4> does anyone here run Xubuntu?
[05:49] <pike_> zabin: change find / to find /media/windows
[05:49] <Spork> okay, my problem is that i am trying to use CUDA but i am getting a message that says "error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory"  I already installed mesa-common-dev though
[05:50] <Scunizi> zabin, so you want to search a specific drive?  is it called windows? or are you trying to access a windows partition.?
[05:50] <zabin> pike_: Can i do it with locate or no?
[05:50] <Spork> i am under the impression that i need to install libglutdev
[05:50] <zabin> yes
[05:50] <Spork> but i have no idea where to get that
[05:50] <zabin> i have it mounted /media/windows
[05:50] <pike_> zabin: yes if you sudo locate -u or sudo updatedb first to build new database
[05:51] <mzanfardino> can one use both RAID and LVM?
[05:51] <zabin> pike_: after i do locate -u it will search that driver too?
[05:51] <Spork> Scunizi: any idea?
[05:51] <mzanfardino> I have a server with three drives I'd like to set up with RAID 5 and I'd also like to configure it with LVM for ease of maintenance... is that possible?
[05:51] <zabin> pike_: it still isnt searching /media/windows/
[05:52] <Scunizi> Spork, have you searched synaptic for libglu...?
[05:52] <zabin> its not letting me search /media/windows any idea why?
[05:52] <isabug> gstreamerrealmedia
[05:52] <Spork> i just found out how to do that :3
[05:53] <Scunizi> Spork, was it in there?
[05:53] <pike_> zabin: just do sudo find /media/windows -name *.qtw
[05:53] <Lattyware> Hey all, a friend is trying to install the binary nVidia driver, but whenever he tried to install the package, it requests a feisty install disc (running ubuntu studio)
[05:53] <slicky> if i want to learn how to create my own desklets where do i look?

[05:53] <Lattyware> any suggestions on what to do.
[05:54] <pike_> Lattyware: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # commend in front of the cdrom entry then sudo apt-get udpate
[05:54] <Scunizi> Lattyware, sounds like he doesn't have all the repositories activated.
[05:54] <zabin> pike_: it return s find: invalid predicate -name*.qtw
[05:54] <Spork> i got it installed :D
[05:54] <Spork> thanks Scunizi
[05:54] <pike_> zabin: space between -name and *.qtw
[05:54] <Hendrik_l> hi
[05:54] <Lattyware> Scunizi/pike_: That's what I thought, but apparently they all are...
[05:54] <ramy__> how i can reduce the CPU usage of system monitor ?
[05:54] <Scunizi> Spork, np,  knowledge is built on one fact at a time...
[05:55] <isabug> thanks ubotu
[05:55] <Hendrik_l> i seem to have problem with gtk themes in ubuntu with fluxbox
[05:55] <NielsE> ramy__ you could try to let it refresh less often
[05:55] <Hendrik_l> all buttons are square not rounded
[05:55] <Scunizi> Lattyware, you might have to turn off the repo that is associated with the cd before it looks elsewhere.
[05:55] <Spork> i know
[05:55] <macabro22> It WORKED!
[05:55] <macabro22> Sweet!
[05:55] <Lattyware> Scunizi: Yeah, I asked him to do that, and it had no effect.
[05:55] <Spork> and now i have more fun problems:  I don't know if linux hates me or if i hate linux
[05:56] <Scunizi> Lattyware, since it's ubuntustudio, maybe it doesn't have all the ubuntu repos listed in sources.lst?
[05:56] <threethirty> hello
[05:56] <Scunizi> Spork, what now? :)
[05:57] <ramy__> how i can reduce the CPU usage of system monitor ?
[05:57] <Lattyware> Scunizi: Again, I thought that, but they are all there.
[05:57] <jamesu> To the moderator(S) thanks for being there to help. Ill join in tomorrow or so since it's midnight in my home now.
[05:57] <Lattyware> Scunizi: It's pretty odd.
[05:57] <Scunizi> Lattyware, I'm stumped :(
[05:57] <threethirty> is there anyone with beryl expertise on?
[05:57] <Kesara> What is the easiest mail server (configuration wise)?
[05:57] <Lattyware> Well, not exactly expertise, but I have dealt with it.
[05:57] <Lattyware> Go ahead
[05:57] <Lattyware> Scunizi: Ah, got it.
[05:58] <Frogzoo> Kesara: postfix probly
[05:58] <NielsE> ramy__: edit prefrences so it refreshes less often
[05:58] <Lattyware> He was putting the # before the lines, as in, on the line above :/
[05:58] <threethirty> i dist upgraded from dapper to edgy and edgy to feisty in on enight and decided to install bery
[05:58] <Kesara> Frogzoo: i tried configuration is bit hard. Is their a good guide?
[05:58] <Lattyware> I should have guessed. He's the guy that tried to fix a graphics card by running a magnet over it (why he has a new one)
[05:58] <Kesara> Frogzoo: I couldn't find anything simple. :-(
[05:59] <threethirty> when I run any of the 3d desktops i loose the window borders, and im not sure what didn't get upgraded
[06:01] <tompeach> Hi all, I have rm -r about 1TB of data on an xfs file system. I ctrl-c 'd after about 10 seconds, then umounted the filesystem. Is this recoverable?
[06:01] <EchoBinary> :-o
[06:01] <EchoBinary> oh dear
[06:01] <daan> tompeach: Don't think so
[06:01] <EchoBinary> its not really gone, though...  right?
[06:01] <EchoBinary> just out of the allocation table?
[06:01] <tompeach> it must be
[06:01] <daan> tompeach: xfs is really hard to recover files
[06:01] <dr_willis> hmm.. not sure on xfs..  That maybe the tricky part.
[06:01] <threethirty> tompeach: there are tools in synaptic that you can try, my brother formatted over a project and was able to recover it
[06:01] <tompeach> (out of table)
[06:01] <SeveredCross> XFS is journaling...Can't you un-replay the journal?
[06:01] <SeveredCross> Or do something with the goddamn journal.
[06:01] <dr_willis> un-replay :)
[06:01] <person51090> when I try to install ubuntu, I get the error message: "/bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off"
[06:01] <person51090> why am I getting this?
[06:02] <rustalot> how do I change the resolution of the console ( the one that you get with Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] )?
[06:02] <tompeach> or maybe just hit the whisky
[06:02] <EchoBinary> LOL
[06:02] <dr_willis> rustalot,  fbset command perhaps.
[06:02] <EchoBinary> i just ordered 5 Hitachi 1TB deskstars
[06:02] <EchoBinary> :-D
[06:02] <EchoBinary> MuHaaHaaHaaHaaHaa
[06:02] <tompeach> the missus gets home soon, and her "desperate housewives" was on there. I'm looking at the sofa and thinging it don't look that confortable
[06:03] <Lattyware> EchoBinary: Woah. I have 1.5TB of drives.
[06:03] <Lattyware> EchoBinary: That rocks though. Fileserver?
[06:03] <tompeach> EchoBinary : remove the "r" and the "m" keys from your keyboard now
[06:03] <rustalot> lol
[06:03] <borgista> Hello, I tried uninstalling hdparm and it uninstalled ubuntu-desktop. Now that I re-installed ubuntu-desktop meta-package I cannot access sudo.
[06:03] <threethirty> tompeach, id try to get it from bittourrent the couch jail is better than sleeping on the couch
[06:04] <borgista> And ideas?
[06:04] <rustalot> it would be awesome if you could get zfs for that
[06:04] <Lattyware> Nah, you want to raid1 those buggers.
[06:04] <Lattyware> I mean, it'd go down in days.
[06:04] <Lattyware> But the speed
[06:04] <Lattyware> :P
[06:04] <tompeach> raid is only as good as the operator
[06:04] <tompeach> (trust me)
[06:05] <tompeach> what do you think guys? am i screwed?
[06:05] <person51090> Question: I intend to install ubuntu onto a slave drive. For the install, do I need to switch the pins?
[06:05] <NigelS> tompeach: there are tools out there that purport to be able to recover data from XFS
[06:05] <rustalot> doesn't zfs do that?
[06:05] <threethirty> tompeach: im looking in synaptic now
[06:06] <zzuh> person51090, no you don't
[06:06] <person51090> well i'm getting an error message
[06:06] <person51090> when I try to install ubuntu, I get the error message: "/bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off"
[06:06] <person51090> after the first prompt
[06:06] <tompeach> thanks guys, i couldn't find anything
[06:06] <person51090> should I try a different cd from the graphical install?
[06:06] <hende07> can someone help me with azureus
[06:06] <kismet> person51090, unless X isn't loading via live cd you don't need to
[06:06] <PG> jes
[06:06] <kismet> hende07, whats up
[06:06] <EchoBinary> Lattyware: i have 1.5 TB now, its full up
[06:07] <rustalot> dr_willis:when I do 'fbset -xres 1280 -yres 1024 it gives me /dev/fb0 : device not found
[06:07] <EchoBinary> im planning to make a zfs raid-z out of it
[06:07] <Lattyware> EchoBinary: Heh. Yeah, I remember when I thought my 80GB drive was massive.
[06:07] <borgista> Any advice on getting sudo permission back?
[06:07] <NigelS> tompeach: I'm not sure they're telling the truth though :)
[06:07] <person51090> X is not loading
[06:07] <Lattyware> EchoBinary: My current system: http://www.lattyware.co.uk/OtherFiles/PC/
[06:07] <person51090> I get to a black screen and an error message
[06:07] <hende07> i install it and when i launch it for the first time when your supposed to select language and eveything it just disappears kismet
[06:07] <kismet> person51090, then try the alternate cd
[06:07] <person51090> ok
[06:07] <person51090> any idea why i may be getting that message?
[06:07] <kismet> hende07, you have the correct JRE installed?
[06:07] <person51090> "/bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off"
[06:07] <EchoBinary> nice
[06:07] <threethirty> tompeach: check this out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28813/
[06:07] <PG> ah i have tis problem too
[06:08] <hende07> how do i check???
[06:08] <person51090> could it be because all my partitions on my master drive are NTFS?
[06:08] <kismet> person51090, it happens when X doesn't initialise your drivers
[06:08] <EchoBinary> i have a 42U rack by my desk..  lol
[06:08] <PG> did you have java
[06:08] <zaggynl> Anyone knows a linux alternative for Sisoft Sandra?
[06:08] <person51090> oh ok, thanks. so the alternate should help?
[06:08] <kismet> person51090, no live cd is loaded virtually
[06:08] <EchoBinary> ive been looking for somewhere else to put it
[06:08] <EchoBinary> its loud and hot
[06:08] <person51090> alright. that's a big help
[06:08] <kismet> person51090, yup
[06:08] <hende07> kismet how would i figure that out
[06:08] <person51090> where can i get the iso?
[06:08] <Hirvinen> zaggynl: What exactly do you want to do?
[06:08] <kismet> hende07, just a sec
[06:08] <zaggynl> Hirvinen, generate a datasheet of my system specs
[06:08] <kismet> person51090, i'll grab you a link a moment
[06:09] <PG> i have a another problem how do i start looking glass
[06:09] <rico> hi
[06:09] <person51090> ok. and is that for 7.04 or for 6.06?
[06:09] <tompeach> threethirty : checking
[06:09] <kismet> person51090, 7.04, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download (put a check on Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.)
[06:09] <threethirty> tompeach: this is the one my brother used http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28814/
[06:09] <rico> do u know a service for mp3-files which is like youtube; after the upload i should be able to embed a flashobject into my site (a little mp3-player)?
[06:09] <PG> how can i start looking glass
[06:09] <zabin> how do i search my hard drive for a folder called backup?
[06:10] <Bothered> zabin: locate backup
[06:10] <hende07> kismet still looking
[06:10] <kismet> hende07, java -version < type that in terminal
[06:10] <PG> zabin go to loaction on the esktop
[06:10] <person51090> thanks
[06:10] <threethirty> anyone come up with an idea on my beryl issue from earlier?
[06:10] <PG> and searchfunction
[06:10] <kismet> hende07, what do you get ?
[06:10] <person51090> but i have a question about that: i need to manage my partitions manually
[06:10] <threethirty> or did i miss it?
[06:10] <kismet> threethirty, try #Ubuntu-effects for beryl/compiz
[06:10] <Hirvinen> If you just want to identify your hardware, install lshw and use it. About generating some sort of sheets with fancy formatting, I don't know except for phpsysinfo, which plays with apache. If lshw isn't enough for you, try searching with your package manager front end.
[06:10] <threethirty> ty
[06:10] <person51090> ubuntu install on my slave drive, swap file on my master drive, etc
[06:11] <hende07> kismet 1.4.2 -02
[06:11] <person51090> can i do that from the tex-based?
[06:11] <kismet> person51090, its alright you can set it up that way. As long as grub writes on your mbr you are good to go
[06:11] <PG> can someone tell me how i get the looking glass worked
[06:11] <person51090> ok great thanks much
[06:11] <kismet> hende07, you need to install the JRE 6
[06:11] <hende07> ok
[06:11] <kismet> person51090, np
[06:11] <Klekkus> can anybody tel me how to change the language from german to english? I'm using ssh.
[06:11] <kismet> hende07, type sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

[06:11] <hende07> i have the sun java 6 console
[06:12] <firelord901> Hi everybody
[06:12] <kismet> person51090, you will need to install the vga drivers for your card. What vga card do you have ?
[06:12] <PG> hi
[06:12] <daan> Klekkus: it still doesn't work?
[06:12] <Bothered> person51090: yes, unfortunately you might
[06:12] <rico> do u know a service for mp3-files which is like youtube; after the upload i should be able to embed a flashobject into my site (a little mp3-player)?
[06:12] <Klekkus> daan: nope
[06:12] <kismet> hende07, yes but you need the JRE
[06:12] <Bothered> person51090: There may, however, be a way to fix it (wait for other responses)
[06:12] <zabin> when i do locate backup it doesnt search /media/windows
[06:12] <GreatWizard> I have installed the 64bit version of desktop Ubuntu
[06:12] <Klekkus> i've looked for xorg.conf but ut doesn't exist
[06:12] <daan> Klekkus: so say when you do df -h you see german text
[06:12] <PG> rico: oh rico i have no idea
[06:12] <person51090> when I ran the resource cd, it worked out the drives fine. NVDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200
[06:12] <person51090> *drivers
[06:12] <GreatWizard> is there any way to downgrade it to the x86 version?
[06:12] <Lattyware> Klekkus: /etc/X11/xorg.conf - it does
[06:13] <rico> k. no prob
[06:13] <threethirty> rico: box.net has a widget for blog that can be set up that way
[06:13] <rico> thx.
[06:13] <zabin> Bothered: when i do locate backup it doesnt search /media/windows
[06:13] <blah123455> i just copied my linux partitions from hdd2 to a new hdd1 and of course grub is now hosed on the new drive.  How do i force grub to reinstall on the new drive ?
[06:13] <PG> rico: but look on google and look on homepagetools
[06:13] <Bothered> zabin: I'm looking into it
[06:13] <Klekkus> Lattyware: not on this machine
[06:13] <Klekkus> daan: like every error. when i'm installing a program
[06:13] <Bothered> zabin: you might not have that drive mounted
[06:13] <hende07> kismet k done
[06:14] <kismet> hende07, now type -> sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
[06:14] <PG> had some one or use some one looking glasssssssssssssss?
[06:14] <zabin> Bothered: it is mounted
[06:14] <person51090> kismet: the resource cd loaded the drives fine. I got into GParted with no trouble at all
[06:14] <zabin> im sure
[06:14] <zabin> i can view the files there thats why
[06:14] <Bothered> zabin: the find command will look everywhere
[06:14] <Bothered> zabin: I'm trying to remember how to use it

[06:16] <kismet> person51090, chances are restricted drivers module will probably get you through but even if it doesn't Nvidia will probably have drivers for your vga, make sure that they do and you can install them.

I got around it by simply using the Alternate CD and installing from text.  The system boots/works beautifully.

[06:21] <techbee> hello  all
[06:21] <NigelS> hende07: for azureus I personally recommend using sun java and getting azureus from their web site

[06:21] <mzanfardino> person51090: it's not bad at all
[06:22] <person51090> mzanfardino: ok, the iso downloaded. I'm going to take my shot
[06:22] <PG> but how i installed things when i download them (with terminal i mean)
[06:22] <mzanfardino> person51090: I happen to install onto a new HP with fakeraid.  Couldn't get the fakeraid to work so I just installed linux software raid and it's working fine
[06:22] <mzanfardino> person51090: gl!
[06:22] <kismet> PG, what are you trying to do?
[06:22] <blithen> ANything else after the sudo chmod +x (file)
[06:22] <blithen> 'Cause it didn't do anything.
[06:22] <Bothered> person51090: make sure you burn at a slow speed

[06:22] <hende07> i can dl just azareus it wants me to dl vuze
[06:22] <Klekkus> Lattyware: do you think it can be debian?

[06:23] <elliotjhug> NigelS: Yeah, but sudioing will work 100% of the time :P
[06:23] <person51090> mzanfardino: great. I just realized that I'm not using my slave drive for backup, as I had intended, and it was just going to waste. So now i'm seting up a dual boot

[06:24] <mzanfardino> person51090: if it's any consolation, I was able to boot from the very same CD that failed on the new hardward on a machine with older hardware.  In my case I think it has something to do with my ATI chipset and the liveCD image, but I can't swear by it.  Just besure to verify the MD5 or SHA of the ISO before you burn
[06:24] <kismet> "hope"?
[06:24] <PG> ^^

[06:24] <Lattyware> Klekkus: Best to get another opinion.
[06:24] <blithen> No.

[06:25] <Klekkus> Lattyware: okey, do you know about any obius way to find out which distro it is?
[06:25] <bobdrakken> type in the ip

[06:26] <bobdrakken> Bothered: whats that
[06:26] <kismet> Klekkus, uname -r
[06:26] <maelvino> dunno
[06:26] <Bothered> bobdrakken: e.g. typing ssh://user@ip in nautilus

I've installed Ubuntu on it, and I've left ~40gb unallocated. I want to install Windows XP in the unallocated space, without touching my Ubuntu installation. After I install XP, it's going to overwrite the MBR, right? So I think I'll need to reinstall GRUB. How do I d
[06:26] <Lattyware> Klekkus: Google it.
[06:26] <kismet> checkergrrl, try installing via synaptic
[06:27] <PG> i too my friend beecause my torrent is on 50%
[06:27] <Bothered> bobdrakken: you can, alternatively, use file sharing, although I have never personally set that up
[06:27] <Klekkus> Lattyware: i've been google arout all day^^
[06:27] <hende07> how do i install it

[06:27] <SirTane> okay, i'll ask this again
[06:27] <Bothered> bobdrakken: file sharing is a bit safer, because ssh-server allows remote access to your system, which you might not want to enable
[06:27] <hende07> kismet how do i install once its dl
[06:27] <SirTane> maybe this time it will work
[06:27] <kismet> calm, after you install xp, just pop in the live cd, choose guided installation, choose not to format the partitions, it will give you errors claiming you have to blah blah, ignore goto next, Grub will write to your main hd, restart and that should solve it
[06:28] <nomic> will a debian (suffix '.deb') package install on ubuntu?

[06:29] <kaikala33> how do i start bootlogd?
[06:29] <hende07> i downloaded it it has to be installed right

Alternatively you can use a live cd for example - chroot into your ubuntu install and run grub-install to write grub back onto the mbr

[06:36] <sagar> like firefox
[06:36] <NigelS> blithen: this is the manual update program for punkbuster yes?

[06:37] <sagar> my keyboard does not work
[06:37] <veratu> can anyone help with GRUB please ????
[06:37] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: gaim or amsn is the principle IM client used in ubuntu
[06:37] <Bothered> sagar: I don't know what the problem is
[06:37] <mattwalston> Any thoughts about the usability of x86_64?  I have Core 2 hardware but am unsure how many problems I will encounter
[06:38] <sagar> can you direst me else where?
[06:38] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: gaim has support for lots of IM protocols, MSN, aim etc
[06:38] <sagar> direct*
[06:38] <fbc> Question: Everytime I click on a jpeg it tells me it's a security rick and I have to right click to pick a viewer. How do I get rid of that?
[06:38] <w2ddrrdd> NigelS, is there a site where i can look through all the software?
[06:38] <jramsey> w2ddrrdd, msn and the like use MS proprietary HTML extensions ... many things will not work (like the zone game site)
[06:38] <hende07> right but what file do i use for app
[06:38] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: for one you can go to applications - add/remove software and broswe through categories of what's available or launch synaptic to do the same
[06:38] <Ricket> How do I execute a program from the terminal without having to wait for the program to terminate to execute another command? Like in another thread, or spawn a process, or something?
[06:39] <sagar> ummm bothered, are you there?
[06:39] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: otherwise info is available on the main ubuntu site and there are oodles of sites out there if you just google for "msn linux" for example
[06:39] <Bothered> sagar: try asking again, see if someone else responds
[06:39] <veratu> I am getting grub error 25 when i boot my system and i cant seem to reinstall grub to sda ... can someone please help ?
[06:39] <mattwalston> RichiH, $ command &
[06:39] <w2ddrrdd> whats WINE?
[06:39] <NigelS> Ricket: use an ampersand
[06:39] <kupesoft> What is the root or user ('ubuntu') password on the live cd?
[06:39] <sagar> hmmm ok thanks a lot for the time :)
[06:39] <blithen> Woah nevermind I guess it did update. I just assumed there was a prblem  'cause it said permission denied. >< Sorry guys.
[06:39] <veratu> kupesoft:  there isnt one .. do a sudo su to get root
[06:39] <Ricket> NigelS: before or after?
[06:39] <hende07> its workin yay
[06:39] <kupesoft> veratu: I installed ssh on the live boot at home and went to work );
[06:39] <daan> fbc: It probably is another type of file
[06:39] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: wine stands for wine is not an emulator - it's a compatibility layer that allows windows programs to run in a linux environment with varying degrees of success
[06:39] <kupesoft> veratu: So I can't get on?
[06:40] <NigelS> Ricket: after
[06:40] <kismet> hende07, congrats
[06:40] <hende07> how do i get a icon for az in the panel
[06:40] <Ricket> NigelS: Okay, I'll try it, thanks!
[06:40] <hende07> its a page with a x
[06:40] <littlegator> Does anyone know why my computer would be freezing? It only happens while I'm scrolling down in firefox with the mouse wheel...
[06:40] <kismet> hende07, just right click on the panel and select the icon from the azureus folder
[06:40] <NigelS> hende07: it's really super easy  - it's easy to work out yourself, just right click onthe panel and see which option you think is the best
[06:40] <fbc> daan: OK, but how do I get rid of that security feature?
[06:40] <w2ddrrdd> will ubuntu support most windows software?
[06:41] <daan> fbc: I don't know but can you right click that jpeg file and select properties?
[06:41] <daan> fbc: What does MIME type say
[06:41] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: nope - there's really no need, there are as-good alternatives or better and they're more varied within the repository
[06:41] <kismet> !wine | w2ddrrdd
[06:41] <ubotu> w2ddrrdd: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:41] <Bothered> kupesoft: erm, I think the system is probably open to the world then
[06:41] <w2ddrrdd> NigelS, is there sites which shows me all the alternatives?
[06:41] <Bothered> kupesoft: actually, no
[06:41] <kupesoft> Bothered: well, it's behind a firewall
[06:41] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: the sort of thing wine runs are programs that we can't get in linux so for example many use it to play Worl of Warcraft
[06:41] <Bothered> kupesoft: ssh doesn't accept empty passwords by default (I think)
[06:42] <hende07> theres no icon when i try to add a icon
[06:42] <Bothered> kupesoft: I don't think you can access it, no
[06:42] <Spork> does sudo run stuff with my enviroment variables?
[06:42] <Hitomaro> how do I get a vhost?
[06:42] <kismet> hende07, search for icons online and download one and show the panel the location.
[06:42] <w2ddrrdd> i want a list of alternative software?
[06:42] <NigelS> hende07: you can choose an icon in the menu - if you look in the azureus folder there are two pngs - one for the program one for .torrents
[06:43] <NigelS> kismet: it comes with its icons
[06:43] <Bothered> kupesoft: Yes, empty passwords are disabled. I don't think you can access your machine
[06:43] <littlegator> Does anyone know why my computer would be freezing? It only happens while I'm scrolling down in firefox with the mouse wheel...
[06:43] <veratu> I am getting grub error 25 when i boot my system and i cant seem to reinstall grub to sda ... can someone please help ?
[06:43] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: again, think of what you want to do and google or browse the add/remove software app which has lots of detailed descriptions of different software
[06:43] <kismet> NigelS, i know but he can't seem to locate them in the azureus folder
[06:44] <fbc> I dunno, it's happening on my mom's machine, and I just need to know what I need to do once i get there.
[06:44] <NigelS> w2ddrrdd: there are lots of sites like this for example http://linuxappfinder.com/windows
[06:44] <Sam_T> anyone know an application which can convert .flv files to other formats?
[06:44] <fbc> daan: I dunno, it's happening on my mom's machine, and I just need to know what I need to do once i get there.
[06:45] <g[r] eek> hi i want my ubuntu to set my java classpath before it loads any other rc bootup scripts (startup services). where do i set this?
[06:45] <daan> fbc: well I don't know how to remove that warning but you could try renaming the files to the right extension
[06:45] <veratu> I am getting grub error 25 when i boot my system and i cant seem to reinstall grub to sda ... can someone please help ?
[06:45] <chil1> Hello, can anyone help me with my sound problem?
[06:46] <rambo3> veratu, you have error in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:46] <Hreno> when does next ubuntu version comes out?
[06:46] <Bothered> Hreno: october
[06:46] <Hreno> or kubuntu
[06:46] <danfg> i've made changes to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us, but the added layouts i made aren't showing up in System > Preferences > Keyboard. wth?
[06:46] <Hreno> okay, thanks
[06:47] <NigelS> veratu: the grub manual states that error 25 is a disk read error - sounds like its looking for something that isn't there maybe
[06:47] <g[r] eek> hi i want my ubuntu to set my java classpath before it loads any other rc bootup scripts (startup services). where do i set this?
[06:48] <compwiz18> what program should I use to make an apt repository?
[06:48] <g[r] eek> sorry make that my JAVA_HOME path
[06:48] <equium> chil1: just ask
[06:48] <John`> anyone here tried MUGEN for linux yet?
[06:48] <jramsey> so spawning off an app with, e.g., sudo nautilus & prevents me from entering the sudo password; how is data entered with & ??
[06:48] <veratu> rambo3:  right now i am on the live cd and i can get to the drive via /media/disk and i can edit the menu.lst file ... i just changed from sdb to sda and i have fixed all those pointers in the grub list to be sda now ... but still the error
[06:48] <ico2_> hi, running up-to-date ubuntu gutsy, mobo is intel DG965WH, how do i control fan speeds (preferably automatically)?
[06:49] <chil1> Alright, I've got a dell soundblaster LIVE card and I can't seem to get any of the sound working
[06:49] <danfg> the "Choose a layout" window, for keyboard layouts in System > Preferences > Keyboard, it doesn't update if you add layouts in /etc/X11/xkb, what now?
[06:49] <NigelS> jramsey: & just makes it run in the background
[06:50] <rambo3> veratu, change /boot/grub/devicemap then : sudo chroot /media/disk and  run : update-grub
[06:50] <jramsey> NigelS, i know but is there a way of providing the data when it's spawned? can i redirect stdin when it's spawned?
[06:50] <Hreno> sorry to ask this here, but what is name of firefox extension that can tell you what packeges were sent with POST? I'm looking for this long time now
[06:50] <veratu> permission denied
[06:50] <verb3k_> what's the name of the gutsy support channel?
[06:50] <daan> chil1: have you tried alsamixer
[06:50] <chil1> Yeah.
[06:50] <profoX`> verb3k_: #ubuntu+1
[06:51] <verb3k_> profoX`, thanks
[06:51] <Tead> Hi. I've just finished downloading the new Ubuntu, running on windows professinal serice pack 2, I understand I need to get this to a disk, I have a dvd burner and the disc. Should I just paste hte contense of the file [unripped]  into the disk or what? HELPP!
[06:51] <daan> chil1: what does lspci say about the card
[06:51] <profoX`> verb3k_: np
[06:51] <Hreno> Tead: do you have iso file?
[06:51] <Surkow> @ Taed - you need to burn the iso file you downloaded with an image burner
[06:51] <Tead> I dont think it came with one.
[06:51] <NigelS> jramsey: I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do
[06:51] <chil1> Daan: I don't know what that is.
[06:52] <daan> Tead: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/burncdcc.html
[06:52] <verb3k_> ico2_,  questions regarding gutsy should be asked in #ubuntu+1
[06:52] <genii> Tead no. you need to write the CD from the image file. Most burning programs allow this, such as Nero or CDBurnerXP
[06:52] <littlegator> Why does my computer freeze whenever I'm using firefox?
[06:52] <veratu> rambo3: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied
[06:52] <NigelS> Tead: you should burn the iso as is presuming you downloaded the iso
[06:52] <Tead> Oh k thanks.
[06:52] <ico2_> verb3k_, kk
[06:52] <daan> chil1: you should type that command in a terminal
[06:52] <g[r] eek> hi i want my ubuntu to set my JAVA_HOME path before it loads any other rc bootup scripts (startup services). where do i set this?
[06:52] <rambo3> veratu, tahts strange , try sudo -i and then chroot
[06:52] <Tead> I went to http://www.ubuntu.com/, cliocked download now, got the desktop ed, unzipped it and thats all sofar.
[06:53] <daan> Tead: you should not unzip it
[06:53] <piyush> my xorg.conf says default resolution as 1200X800 still the display is 1024X768
[06:53] <veratu> rambo3:  cannot execute binary file
[06:53] <genii> Tead Pls note Nero needs to be instructed specifically to look for .iso extension and not just .nrg extension when looking for cd images to burn
[06:53] <Tead> Why =//
[06:53] <daan> Tead: burn the whole file with the program I just gave you
[06:53] <veratu> rambo3:  i am on the live cd .... is that an issue ?
[06:53] <chil1> Daan: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28822/
[06:53] <rambo3> veratu, what partition is ubuntu on ?
[06:53] <Tead> Do i go onto the RAR file or the unzipped?
[06:53] <littlegator> Why would my computer be freezing when using firefox? It's happened 12 times in the past 24 hours...
[06:53] <genii> daan which burn prog?
[06:54] <Twigathy> ...
[06:54] <daan> genii: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/burncdcc.html
[06:54] <Twigathy> I think I have a clone.
[06:54] <chil1> Littlegator: Its happened to me before, I couldn't ever figure out what was causing it. A fresh install solved the problem.
[06:54] <veratu> rambo3:i just copied the partitions over from sdb to sda and remove the sdb drive ... so ubuntu is now on sda partition 1
[06:54] <verb3k_> littlegator,  what's your system specs?
[06:54] <genii> daan Ah, OK :) Haven't seen that one yet. Usually for XP/2K I recommend CDBurnerXP (free)
[06:54] <Gizmo_The_Great> Hi. I have written a very basic script file that is basically a series of mount commands for several shared NFS drives on my internal system. However, it seems to take ages! About 5 minutes for just two shares. Is this normal?
[06:55] <daan> genii: this one is small and does one thing, hard to screw up :)
[06:55] <littlegator> verb: Could you be more specific? There's quite a bit of system specs. However, this hasn't happened to me before and it ran fine on windows.
[06:55] <CaptainM> Tead, it't not a rar file. It's a .iso file. Use nero or something and look for an option called something like 'burn image to disk'.
[06:55] <littlegator> chill: a fresh install of firefox or ubuntu?
[06:55] <rambo3> veratu, as root : sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp && sudo mount /dev/sda1  /mnt/tmp/ && sudo chroot /mnt/tmp
[06:55] <chil1> littlegator: Ubuntu
[06:55] <Gizmo_The_Great> I stress that the mounted drives are on another PC from the one that I am running the mounting script from.
[06:55] <littlegator> chill: I'll look for another fix first >_>
[06:55] <Twigathy> Gizmo_The_Great: Is there lots of stuff in these remote drives?
[06:56] <veratu> rambo3: done
[06:56] <chil1> littlegator: Heh, okay.
[06:56] <daan> Tead: Just burn the whole 700 mb file with the program
[06:56] <Gizmo_The_Great> Twigathy: on one there is about 120Gb - on the other about 12Gb
[06:56] <rambo3> now ubuntu-grub
[06:56] <Tead> Ok thanks Daan.
[06:56] <Tead> It's "Writing image to disc..
[06:56] <chil1> Daan: did you get my pastebin?
[06:56] <Tead> Whaen it's done, so I just reset with the CD in the PC?
[06:56] <daan> Tead: superb :)
[06:56] <daan> chil1: Yes but kinda busy
[06:56] <Tead> daan: Thanks <33
[06:56] <veratu> rambo3:  but when i go to mnt there is no tmp mount
[06:57] <Twigathy> Gizmo_The_Great: tried -onolock ? (Read the manpages about what that does though :))
[06:57] <verb3k_> littlegator, a lot of things could be the reason , some of which is using poorly written plugins and extensions
[06:57] <daan> chil1: what do you get when you start alsamixer?
[06:57] <veratu> fs
[06:57] <Gizmo_The_Great> Twigathy: i had not read about that. I will go and look. Thanks
[06:57] <Twigathy> np
[06:57] <littlegator> verb: I have 0 extensions...
[06:57] <rambo3> veratu, read once again
[06:58] <Oxxy> hello??
[06:58] <CaptainM> Tead, yup
[06:58] <chil1> daan: It tells me my master is all the way up
[06:58] <daan> chil1: yes but what card does it say
[06:58] <veratu> rambo3:  read what .. i did it exactly as you posted
[06:58] <verb3k_> littlegator,  can you reproduce the crash ?
[06:58] <danfg> i made changes to /etc/X11/xkb, i should use xkbcomp to compile these changes?
[06:58] <chil1> Daan: Dell Sound Blaster Live!
[06:58] <daan> chil1: also you should turn up PCM
[06:59] <chil1> Daan: Yeah, its up.
[06:59] <daan> chil1: and unmute both by pressing m
[06:59] <Oxxy> can someone help me? im a complete  noob and need some help with Ubuntu 7,04 and mi Conexant HDA sound card
[06:59] <promi> help my ubuntu kernel config
[06:59] <veratu> rambo3:  saying you must specify the filesystem type ?
[07:00] <kikkomanchow>  i think i screwed up my apache2 installation already
[07:00] <kikkomanchow> >..
[07:00] <chil1> Daan: both are unmuted
[07:00] <rambo3> veratu, mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
[07:00] <littlegator> verb: sorry, my computer crashed while I was exporting my bookmarks in firefox...
[07:00] <daan> chil1: hmm let me think
[07:00] <chil1> Daan: Nevermind, fixed it myself
[07:01] <veratu> rambo3:  mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[07:01] <daan> chil1: what was it?
[07:01] <jramsey> NigelS, i missed ur answer i was afk
[07:01] <chil1> Daan: Just had to play with random things in alsa, hah, Analog/Digital Output jack, had to mute it.
[07:01] <daan> chil1: ah ok :) nice
[07:01] <Oxxy> can someone help me with my Ubuntu 7,04 and my Conexant HDA sound card? it doesnt work at all..
[07:01] <veratu> rambo3:  thanks a ton for helping me ... i have to get this fixed soon and i really appreciate your time
[07:01] <Sonderblade> is there a command you can type to get a list of all available updates?
[07:02] <osxdude|laptop> is there a way to make GParted NOT run the simulation?
[07:02] <daan> Sonderblade: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:02] <rambo3> veratu, so its not sda1 , try sudo fdisk -l
[07:03] <Sonderblade> daan: that installs available updates, i just want a list
[07:03] <verb3k_> littlegator,  I see ,  you can file a bug report through launchpad.net
[07:03] <veratu> rambo3:  shows sda1 sda2
[07:03] <daan> Sonderblade: well you can just control-c and not install them
[07:03] <ptn107> Sonderblade: you can go into synaptic package manager and mark all upgrades, then sort them to the top of the list
[07:03] <daan> Sonderblade: or use -s
[07:03] <Sonderblade> daan: yes but that requires root
[07:03] <veratu> rambo3:  i got it to mount
[07:04] <veratu> rambo3:  ok now what
[07:04] <rambo3> veratu, what was the problem
[07:04] <veratu> rambo3:  its mounted on /mnt/tmp
[07:04] <Sonderblade> ptn107: no, i want to use the list in a shell script so synaptic doesn't work
[07:04] <daan> Sonderblade: ah then I can't help you
[07:04] <veratu> rambo3:  i would assume i need to reinstall grub to that partition
[07:04] <BigToe7000> sigh, why does the "Select and install software" section of the alternate install take so long? :S
[07:05] <rambo3> veratu, chroot /mnt/tmp  , if that doesn't work post you /boot/grub/menu.lst to paster
[07:05] <veratu> rambo3: that worked im now at root@ubuntu:/#
[07:05] <rambo3> update-grub
[07:06] <jramsey> sudo nautilus & [07:06] <veratu> rambo3:  ok  it system it did something ... let me reboot .. ill brb
[07:06] <veratu> system=said
[07:06] <veratu> thanks a ton
[07:06] <Ricket> After I log in with my username and password, some things load but then the loading process stalls for exactly 2 minutes. I think it is because of gnome-wm waiting for compiz to finish executing, but compiz does not actually finish, just continues to log to the console. I have tried an ampersand after the exec line in gnome-wm, it doesn't help. What can I do??
[07:07] <sagar_> hello
[07:07] <sagar_> I have the following problem with my Fiesty Fawn:
[07:08] <sagar_> My system freezes and my mouse and keyboard dont work
[07:08] <sagar_> I have to restart the system
[07:08] <sagar_> can some one help me?
[07:08] <Tead> Hwy
[07:09] <Ricket> sagar_: that might be due to overheating. do all of your fans work? is the ambient room temperature hot? how long does it work until it freezes?
[07:09] <Tead> Is Daan still here?
[07:09] <daan> Tead: Jup
[07:09] <Tead> I installed, then reset, it just auto loads windows.
[07:09] <Tead> Nothing happens.
[07:09] <Tead> =// Just useal loading.
[07:09] <daan> Tead: Did you install Ubuntu?
[07:09] <Tead> I put it onto the disc.
[07:10] <Oxxy> Can someone please send me a private message if wants to help me with my problem:
[07:10] <Oxxy> I cant make my Sound Card word on Ubuntu 7,04, pleaseeee i would really appreciate that im stuck.
[07:10] <CaptainM> Tead, you have to go into the bios settings menu to change the boor order
[07:10] <daan> Tead: Do you have your pc set up to start from cd?
[07:10] <Tead> 8-) Nope.
[07:10] <Tead> Explain it basicly :P
[07:10] <pkundu> hi, I have a Celeron 1.2GHz, 256MB SDRam, 20GB system.....which version of ubuntu should i go for ?
[07:10] <Ricket> pkundu: the desktop version
[07:10] <CaptainM> look for a line that say "type [a key]  for setup" or somethinh
[07:10] <CaptainM> when the system is booting
[07:10] <daan> Tead: Probably the del kay
[07:10] <Ricket> Tead: or if you have a dell, prolly the F2 key
[07:11] <daan> Tead: yep
[07:11] <Tead> F2 or DEL?
[07:11] <Ricket> or whatever key it says...
[07:11] <daan> Tead: you should see it when you start up your pc
[07:11] <pkundu> Ricket : I ried xubuntu but it eatup 210MB of RAM
[07:11] <Tead> Ok after that.
[07:11] <Tead> Then what?
[07:11] <pkundu> *tried
[07:11] <daan> Tead: then you somehow have to figure out to set the cdrom to boot before the harddrive
[07:11] <Tead> 0k
[07:11] <Tead> Wish me luck ;P
