[05:47] <Dr_Willis> Mkop:  i forget whree .profile runs. i normally put things in .bashrc or .bash_profile
[05:47] <Mkop> Dr_Willis: does .bashrc get executed during a GUI login, or only when I open a terminal?
[05:48] <Blue_hat> I need to know how to install a dial up modem on my desktop PC
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> Mkop:   its ran by all bash shells when the start. and since the  X starup uses a bash shell it should.
[05:48] <Sam_> how can i install fillezilla in ubuntu
[05:48] <Blue_hat> I'm using Hardy Heron 8.04
[05:49] <DaveAlpha> sudo aptitude install filezilla
[05:49] <linuxguy2009> Anyone want to take a first look at my new repository CD/DVD tutorial while I decide where to post it?
[05:49] <Mkop> Dr_Willis: thanks for the help!
[05:49] <blackest_knight> Blue_hat:  google ppp0 dialup networking ubuntu
[05:49] <linuxguy2009> Need an opinion
[05:49] <DarkMage26> linuxguy2009: I would
[05:49] <linuxguy2009> cool
[05:49] <Blue_hat> blackest_knight: gonna try that
[05:49] <wapko> anybody know anythin about cpu scaling in ubuntu ? my OC 3.6Ghz only runs at 3.4Ghz when i stress it. seems like it sees my 8.5 multiplier as an 8x instead..
[05:50] <Blue_hat> I'm a first timer
[05:50] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: You on Pidgin? I can send it with that if so. Its an openoffice doc.
[05:50] <DarkMage26> linuxguy2009: yes
[05:50] <DaveAlpha> O_O
[05:51] <DaveAlpha> the horror of the name.. O_o
[05:51] <pierre123> I am looking at my hardrive in gparted and there is a fat16 DellUtility ntfs and fat32, there is no trace of my Ubuntu partition I don't understand where the grub bootloader is hidden?
[05:51] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: Let me know what you think.
[05:52] <jpbaao> how do i install gspca webcam drivers?
[05:52] <DarkMage26> linuxguy2009: Sure will. Give me a min to read it.
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> pierre123:  grub bootloader is on the MBR of the drive.. or the MBR of a parittion.
[05:53] <blackest_knight> pierre123:  did you install with wubi in which case ubuntu is installed in a big file
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure the 'mbr of the partition' is correct terms.. but it can go on sda1 (for example) instead of sda
[05:53] <pierre123> hmm how can I remove it and restore the windows default bootloader?
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> I dident think WUBI used grub..
[05:54] <shaullx> how can i remove kubuntu desktop?
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> pierre123:  you would reinstall the windows boot loader using the windows tools..  thats about all i know on the topic.
[05:54] <Sam_> DaveAlpha: why not double click it
[05:54] <shaullx> apt-get and aptitude cant find it
[05:54] <Sam_> MS still easier
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> pierre123:  if you have more then 1 hard drive.. be sure you are not accidently booting the wrong hd via bios also.
[05:54] <shaullx> anyone?
[05:55] <Mkop> shaullx: do you mean kde?
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> !puregnome
[05:55] <shaullx> yea
[05:55] <space_cadet> pierre123, you *could* get a floppy disk, quick format it, and throw a valid boot.ini, ntldr and ntdetect on it and see if it'll boot
[05:55] <blackest_knight> Dr_Willis:  i think he said gparted couldnt see his ubuntu partition just his windows drives so i figured either hadnt installed ubuntu or had it in a folder in windows
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package.. removeing it wont remove all of KDE.
[05:55] <SnakDoc> shaullx its in special repo i believe i look for you one sec
[05:55] <SageX> fireworks and computers mix well
[05:55] <SageX> :>

[05:56] <Mkop> shaullx: ubottu is a bot. thank Dr_Willis
[05:56] <RiverRat> Are there many in here using that netbooks build?
[05:56] <SnakDoc> shaullx you are wanting client correct not server
[05:56] <tritium> mejobloggs: did you try using System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ?
[05:56] <shaullx> tnx Dr_Willis :)
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> how do you know i am not a bot?
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> :P
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> *danger Will Robbinson!*
[05:57] <shaullx> i do now :P
[05:57] <RiverRat> We don't, no one in here can pass a turring test
[05:57] <mejobloggs> tritium: thanks i didnt know about that
[05:58] <Mkop> Dr_Willis: if you are a bot, you're a sophisticated enough bot to understand natural language, and therefore sophisticated enough to understand thanks
[05:58] <blackest_knight> RiverRat:  i dont use it on my netbook coz i dont like it or the stupid stuff cut out of the default
[05:58] <SnakDoc> Sam  you get answer about filezilla ?
[05:58] <RiverRat> blackest_knight: So you use the full desktop version?
[05:58] <shannon> hi all
[05:58] <SnakDoc> sam sudo apt-get install filezilla
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> Mkop:  when my kind take over the world.. you will  be rewarded...
[05:59] <SageX> ?
[05:59] <Mkop> you're also a slow bot. So you I don't think you'll be taking over for a little while yet.
[05:59] <blackest_knight> Dr_Willis: you might be a bot coz your on any time day or night more likely your several people working shifts
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> Mkop:  we allready have. :P
[05:59] <Jeremy2> im dling vmware player right now and trying to figure out how to install it, how do i install a .rpm or a .bundle (sorry really new to linux)
[05:59] <SageX> lol
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> blackest_knight:  actually im 1  person whos constantly getting his shift changed.
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> Jeremy2:  you may want to try virtualbox. its a bit easier to use.
[06:00] <DarkMage26> linuxguy2009: That was good. Easy to do but maybe needs some work. PM me for more info.
[06:00] <SageX> Jeremy2,  extract lol easy
[06:00] <linuxguy2009> ok
[06:00] <SageX> Jeremy2,  just like winrar
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> !vmware | Jeremy2
[06:00] <blackest_knight> um well i drop by once in a while over several years and most times your here and i'm certain i'm not in your time zone

[06:02] <space_cadet> vlc not playing a format?
[06:02] <space_cadet> wow
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> ShazbotMcNasty:  try converting them with winff perhaps?
[06:02] <ShazbotMcNasty> yeah
[06:02] <shaul_> i installed nvidia drivers but still i dont think it works..i cant enable desktop effects
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> You can find lots of 'special' codecs that vlc cant handle. :)
[06:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> sudo apt-get install winff  ?
[06:03] <SnakDoc> Dr_Willis you know something better to try ?
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> !info winff
[06:03] <blackest_knight> vlc should show codec info
[06:03] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: Did you get my PM?
[06:03] <shaul_> how can i check the driver is installed correctly?
[06:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> wow, he's more nifty than I thought he was.
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> SnakDoc:  ive never tried to read a 'news://' type url.  when i used pan. i entered my proper news group server and othe rinfo...
[06:03] <ShazbotMcNasty> oh look, it's already installed
[06:04] <SnakDoc> Dr_Willis ok thanks anyway

[06:18] <PwnerJohn> flex?
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  'at the same time' is vague..  If you are using virtualbox to run windows inside linux.. then you will have a window with 'windows' running in it
[06:18] <PwnerJohn> wuts virtualbox
 can you guide me how to install?
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  its a virtual machine
[06:18] <PwnerJohn> :O
[06:18] <PwnerJohn> ok

[06:19] <PwnerJohn> i still have a question
[06:19] <PwnerJohn> does unbuntu have flex?
[06:19] <rob__>  wapko> fancy posting your xorg ?
[06:19] <lstarnes> PwnerJohn: which flex?
[06:19] <wapko> shaul_: i just followed the instructions on the bottom of the page i downloaded the drivers from
[06:19] <PwnerJohn> uh
[06:19] <PwnerJohn> any?
[06:19] <rski> if it's any flex
[06:20] <rski> how can you know if it's in
[06:20] <rob__>  wapko> what kernal do you hav?

[06:20] <PwnerJohn> D:
[06:20] <rski> so install it?

[06:21] <wapko> shaul_: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.14.html <- instructions bottom of page
[06:21] <PwnerJohn> Package flex is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[06:21] <PwnerJohn> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[06:21] <PwnerJohn> is only available from another source
[06:21] <PwnerJohn> E: Package flex has no installation candidat
[06:21] <rob__>  wapko>your the 1st i'have come accross in 3 day that has a working one, dose it have full 3d cap?
[06:21] <FloodBot2> PwnerJohn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:21] <sage_> Jeremy2,  extract
[06:21] <PwnerJohn> :o
[06:21] <lstarnes> sage_: it's a lexer generator
[06:21] <sage_> o
[06:21] <Jeremy2> it tells me i cant extract either of them
[06:21] <rski> The following NEW packages will be installed: flex
[06:21] <wapko> rob__: define full 3d.. compiz runs great
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  update, upgrade, try installing again.

[06:22] <PwnerJohn> how do i do it?
[06:22] <rob__>  wapko> neat
[06:22] <rski> PwnerJohn: your system is broken somehow
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' 'sudo apt-get install flex'
[06:22] <PwnerJohn> =o

[06:31] <rski> xgl? wasn't that abandoned a while ago
[06:31] <rski> for aiglx

[06:31] <rski> how did you install compiz shaul_ and what version of ubuntu are you running
[06:31] <shaul_> jaunty..
[06:31] <rski> and?
[06:32] <rski> you don't get to answear half of the question
[06:32] <rski> it's all or nothing
[06:32] <shaul_> compiz is built in it doesnt it?
[06:32] <shaul_> i dont remember
[06:32] <rski> yes it is
[06:32] <rski> but i'm asking you
[06:32] <sircrazy_> hey guys
[06:32] <sircrazy_> ok, I set up my ifconfig ip and netmask, i added a route to router, however my router uses a password, how do i add this password to the ifconfig?
[06:32] <rski> hey guy
[06:33] <sircrazy_> i am in a cli right now
[06:33] <rob__> < shaul_> when u boot up, do you get error x server fail to find device.
[06:33] <shaul_> no
[06:33] <sircrazy_> they seem dead when i asked in #debian, io figured the ubuntu people would know
[06:34] <SnakDoc> sircrazy_ router shouldn't have pass to get on lan
[06:34] <Tacosarecool> hello
[06:34] <sircrazy_> SnakDoc: i use a wpa password to connect to my router for wifi
[06:34] <Tacosarecool> I keep burning ubuntu discs and keep being unable to boot from them
[06:34] <sircrazy_> is ifconfig wrong?
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> you use the wireless tools to give the password...
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> not ifconfig
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> and thats about all i know on that topic. :)
[06:35] <sircrazy_> Dr_Willis: ? how do i get that
[06:35] <sircrazy_> lol
[06:35] <sircrazy_> i am on a cli
[06:35] <sircrazy_> no gui
[06:35] <DarkMage26> Tacosarecool: Did you do a md5sum check before burn?
[06:35] <FloodBot2> sircrazy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> sircrazy_:  so> theres cli wireless tools...
[06:35] <Tacosarecool> It has the options
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> shaul_:  means very little to me.
[06:35] <Tacosarecool> It just won't boot in
[06:35] <SnakDoc> sircrazy_ thats done in iwconfig
[06:35] <shaul_> ...
[06:36] <shaul_> :(
[06:36] <sircrazy_> SnakDoc: hmm, iwconfig doesnt work on my debian install. and its not on their first install cd either :(
[06:36] <sircrazy_> i wish they responded in #debian, thats why i came here
[06:36] <PwnerJohn> where would the virtual box be at?
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> sircrazy_:  when in doubt check the forums/wiki pages...
[06:36] <rski> #vbox
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> uh
[06:37] <SnakDoc> sircrazy_ don't have a clue just know that iwconfig is for wireless in ubuntu would think be the same
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> not what i meant
[06:37] <coz_> sircrazy_,  you could also go to #linux  for a more global overview of the problem
[06:37] <rski> what did you mean
[06:37] <sircrazy_> SnakDoc: i thought the same
[06:37] <scunizi> PwnerJohn: system tools off the Appications menu
[06:37] <sircrazy_> coz_: thanks
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> ty
[06:37] <coz_> no problem
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> wait
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> what system tools
[06:37] <PwnerJohn> D:
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  perhaps explore your systems menus....
[06:38] <wapko> sircrazy_: u have lynx ? look at http://linux.icydog.net/wpa.php
[06:38] <rski> PwnerJohn: the one's you have installed
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> virtualbox  is under 'accessories' here for me.
[06:38] <rski> PwnerJohn: you will at least have virtualbox there
[06:38] <PwnerJohn> uh....
[06:38] <PwnerJohn> how do i explore?
[06:38] <PwnerJohn> D:
[06:38] <rski> Dr_Willis: depends if you used sun's or ubuntu's package maybe
[06:38] <scunizi> PwnerJohn: if you don't see it right mouse click on the applications and choose edit.. then go through the menus in the newly opened window to find it.. you might have to tic the system tools menu to make it visable.
[06:38] <rski> PwnerJohn: move the mouse click and look
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:   go throug every menu.. every item.. run it.. look.. learn... love.
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> err.. not tha last part..
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:39] <losher> sircrazy_: you know what? If you can't get support for debian in #debian, but #ubuntu is full of responsive people, that seems like a good reason to change to Ubuntu....
[06:39] <PwnerJohn> its in system tools
[06:40] <ganjanaut> hey, i was wondering how to set the preferences on a screensaver?
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  and for virtualbox - its a VERY VERY good idea to go read the virtualbox docs at the virtualbox homepage
[06:40] <PwnerJohn> :p
[06:40] <PwnerJohn> kk
[06:40] <PwnerJohn> !info virtualbox
[06:40] <PwnerJohn> =o
[06:40] <ganjanaut> the screensaver dialog just has a list of screensavers, but no way to change the preferences
[06:41] <wapko> !info virtualbox-ose
[06:41] <scunizi> PwnerJohn: the only thing available in the repos is virtualbox-ose.. which doesn't have usb support.. the download off the vbox site does.
[06:41] <sage_> dixeverywhere
[06:41] <PwnerJohn> ...
[06:41] <ganjanaut> anybody know?
[06:41] <PwnerJohn> do i need
[06:41] <PwnerJohn> usb support?
[06:41] <rski> do you?
[06:41] <PwnerJohn> i doubt it
[06:42] <rski> why ask a question you know the answear to
[06:42] <rski> seems pretty redundant
[06:42] <ganjanaut> i don't know the answer to my question
[06:42] <Adola> I need help with NFS, I can't copy more than a few files from the server to the client, everything just stops, and I have to completely restart the machine untill I have network usablility again.
[06:42] <scunizi> PwnerJohn: what do you doubt?  the ose version is the free version. the non-ose version HAS usb support which contains propriatory codecs to make it work
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> I wonder if im the only person that just uses the 'blank' screen saver....
[06:43]  * Adola uses it on his netbook
[06:43] <ganjanaut> i used to like to set the rd-bomb screensaver to 2 colors, it looks really cool in b&w
[06:43] <Fizix> lol, perhaps. I'm fond of the ants crawling around on the bent, 2d toroid thingy.
[06:43] <scunizi> Dr_Willis: nope.. keeps the laptop cooler when it's not processing an opengl screensaver. :)
[06:44] <bullgard4> man getty: " getty - alternative Linux getty." Is this not a contradiction? Please explain.
[06:44] <ganjanaut> but there's no preferences dialog in the ubuntu screensaver any more
[06:44] <wapko> no screensaver. just poweroff display
[06:44] <PwnerJohn> uh
[06:44] <PwnerJohn> i downloaded mine
[06:44] <PwnerJohn> from
[06:44] <losher> Dr_Willis: I only use blank. I don't like stuff moving on a screen. It grabs at the corners of my eyes...
[06:44] <PwnerJohn> virtualbox
[06:44] <scunizi> PwnerJohn: ok.. if you downloaded the non-ose version then you will have usb support
[06:44] <Adola> Does anyone know anything about ipfrag_high_thresh?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> I recall a screen saver years ago for windows. that had news feeds/weather repoort scrolling by. not seen any like that in years...
[06:44] <ganjanaut> i guess nobody know how to do that
[06:45] <ganjanaut> pretty lame that ubuntu makes a program less functional
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> ganjanaut:  check the forums perhaps thers some hidden settings..
[06:45] <scunizi> ganjanaut: or maybe it's a gnome thing..
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> ganjanaut:  that is 'GNOMES' normal method of operation.
[06:45] <PwnerJohn> WUT
[06:45] <PwnerJohn> no media?
[06:45] <PwnerJohn> :(
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  start asking full questions...
[06:45] <PwnerJohn> kk
[06:45] <PwnerJohn> What does no media mean?
[06:45] <ganjanaut> it wasn't like that in older distributions
[06:46] <mobi-sheep> ganjanaut: Set for Floating Feets?  I find it most calming. :)
[06:46] <scunizi> ganjanaut: gnome get's updated too. not just ubuntu
[06:46] <losher> Adola: that's an odd failure mode. Usually nfs either works or it doesn't. Is there something 'unusual' about your network?

[06:47] <coz_> Micheletti,  go home get some sleep
[06:47] <ganjanaut> dr_willis: ty
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  you havent bothered to read the virtualbox docs yet have you.
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> PwnerJohn:  virtualbox runs a 'virtual pc' - it needs media configured to boot.

[06:58] <dthacker> can you tell me the string you are looking for?
[06:58] <freonchill> losher: i pulled out the second battery from the d800 bay and put the cdrw in, it was not recognized or attempted to mount the hardware; though it works fine if the drive is slotted before booting.
[06:58] <ftab> dthacker what the grep does then?
[06:59] <freonchill> losher: i want to be able to slot it and get it to work; dont want to have to reboot to switch between 2nd battery and cdrw drive

[07:00] <ntshan> thanks JonCat
[07:00] <thirdwheel_> oh dear
[07:00] <yurikoles> I write in fstab "dev,exec,suid", but mount tells me "nodev.noexec,nosuid"
[07:00] <wapko> freonchill: maybe theres some bios setting that allows hot swapping the drive ?
[07:01] <thirdwheel_> does this place have a !troll command?
[07:01] <JonCat> ntshan, having fun? i just let off a ton with the kiddos
[07:01] <SnakDoc> ftab type man in front of any command and you can read all about it
[07:01] <freonchill> wapko: there is

[07:01] <JonCat> forgot about the beer
[07:02] <ganjanaut> Dr_Willis: works great now, thanks
[07:02] <freonchill> losher: was looking for pointers for searching lspci, dmesg, etc to see if its being seen and just needs to be mounted...
[07:02] <ntshan> we spent most of the day at the pool...at least we have the "red" going in "red white and blue"
[07:02] <sebsebseb> Hello  Americans your 4th of July stuff is actsually off topic in here :)   I don't really care though, but still
[07:02] <ntshan> haha...oh well
[07:02] <sebsebseb> !ot
[07:02] <losher> freonchill: is it a usb device, or isn't it? If you don't know, say so...
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> ganjanaut:  aparently from what i amr eading.. some video players may not properly prevent xscreensaver from kicking in.
[07:03] <ntshan> well back to being on topic...I recently installed ubuntu server on a nettop box that I built with a dual core Atom
[07:03] <scunizi> Micheletti: is somewhere in san diego county close to poway an outlying city
[07:03] <ntshan> I plan on using it as a CI server
[07:03] <ganjanaut> ah, i see.  that's a risk i'm willing to take
[07:04] <ftab> dthacker it seems like it's taking for ever :(
[07:04] <Vadimer> hello all
[07:04] <dthacker> ftab: do you have a lot of large files in the directory?
[07:05] <ftab> it's a joomla site
[07:05] <ftab> with virtuemart
[07:05] <freonchill> its a propriety device - but it shows as a USB CDRW in windows (under the disconnect)
[07:05] <Incarus> !ot | scunizi
[07:05] <freonchill> its a propriety device - but it shows as a USB CDRW in windows (under the disconnect)
[07:05] <Incarus> freonchill, whats the problem?
[07:06] <scunizi> Incarus: ok.. I won't talk about him..
[07:06] <Incarus> good
[07:06] <dthacker> ftab: could you descripe your search in a sentence?   Like : I want to find the string "lassie" in /home/movies/aboutdogs
[07:06] <scunizi> give me a break :/
[07:07] <steven_f> how do i force ubuntu to do a complete filesystem check next boot
[07:07] <freonchill> Incarus: pulling 2nd battery out and plugging in cdrw does not show drive up - want to know where to start looking in lspci / lsmod / lssub / dmesg to see if its there and or if i just need to manually mount it.
[07:07] <dthacker> !fsck | steven_f
[07:07] <ftab> ok I want to find "PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_CUSTOMER_NOTE" in /home/aftab/public_html/joomla
[07:07] <wapko> freonchill: try looking at http://mikehardy.net/linux_latitude_d800/
[07:07] <Incarus> steven_f, press power button could work ;-)
[07:07] <losher> freonchill: I'm not sure it matters what windows says. For many devices, they must be probed at boot time and structures allocated by the kernel. If that doesn't happen, you aren't going to be able to talk to the device later. If it is hot-swappable. you'll see messages  about it in dmesg

[07:10] <ftab> :(
[07:11] <Vadimer> Micheletti you know u need to be ganging up agenst the muslims right
[07:11] <freonchill> did they change the right click menu option for "nautilus scripts" in 9.04 from 8.04 ?
[07:11] <Incarus> ftab, try my command
[07:11] <Amaranth> Vadimer: ...
[07:11] <mobi-sheep> Vadimer: Please stop.
[07:11] <dthacker> Vadimer: don't go there.
[07:11] <ganjanaut> ty for ban, karma++
[07:11] <ftab> I have a file opened in front of me, which has that string, I would like to know other occurneces
[07:11] <Vadimer> why that person said shit about blacks
[07:11] <ftab> Incarus I did that to :(
[07:11] <sebsebseb> !ops |  Vadimer
[07:11] <Incarus> ftab, then the line isnt in the file
[07:11] <losher> Vadimer: looking to get banned yourself?
[07:12] <scunizi> Amaranth: does that ban his ip as well
[07:12] <Vadimer> not really
[07:12] <Vadimer> why
[07:12] <Amaranth> scunizi: nope
[07:12] <ganjanaut> Vadimer: they've been spamming for a while
[07:12] <Amaranth> Vadimer: Please stop.
[07:12] <s|k`> !topic
[07:12] <ftab> Incarus, there are too many files in the dircetory and sub directories and the string is in many files
[07:12] <dthacker> ftab: try a shorter piece of the string
[07:12] <s|k`> !rules
[07:12] <ftab> ok
[07:13] <Incarus> ftab, maybe you typey it wrong
[07:13] <cactaur> !CoC
[07:13] <ftab> dthaker it exits as quick as I execute that
[07:13]  * dthacker resists the urge to summon bot abuse factoid :)
[07:14] <ftab> Incarus, I might be making mistae but not the copy paste ;)
[07:14] <ftab> *mistake
[07:14] <Incarus> ftab, ok
[07:14] <dthacker> ftab: to make sure you have the syntax corrcet, run it on the file that you know has the string.
[07:14] <ftab> ok
[07:14] <Tacosarecool> Oh yeah happy fourth of july
[07:14] <dthacker> correct even
[07:14] <ftab> how do I do that?
[07:14] <freonchill> wapko: can you give me a little insight about what he is talking about for the cdrw? idectl & FC3
[07:15] <dthacker> fgrep "mystring" myfilename
[07:15] <Vadimer> have you all stoped using windows 100%?
[07:15] <dthacker> Vadimer: yes
[07:15] <Amaranth> Vadimer: offtopic
[07:15] <Incarus> Vadimer, yes, but offtopic
[07:15] <zimbres> Vadimer, yes.
[07:15] <Vadimer> what u mean offtopoc
[07:15] <ftab> dthacker it worked that way :)
[07:15] <Incarus> !ot | Vadimer
[07:15] <losher> freonchill: fc3 means fedora core 3. idectl is an application that appears not to exist in Ubuntu.
[07:16] <Vadimer> ok
[07:16] <ftab> but how to do that for all directories and sub directories
[07:16] <ganjanaut> i'm using windows right now for this irc client
[07:16] <lvlefisto> ftab: find /path/to/dir/name/ -exec grep "stringtofind" {} \; -print
[07:16] <Incarus> ganjanaut, lol
[07:16] <Incarus> ganjanaut, why not a linux irc client?
[07:16] <ganjanaut> laptop next to my linux desktop :D
[07:16] <Vadimer> how can i get ventrillo to install on linux when their is not a linux file
[07:16] <Incarus> ganjanaut, k
[07:16] <ganjanaut> i'm busy looking at screensavers lol
[07:16] <losher> Vadimer: also, just so you know, I didn't appreciate your comment about muslims....
[07:16] <idiot> i'm using ubuntu 9.04 desktop (64 bit) and i'm noticing that xterm has some problems with refreshing the display properly...i.e. text doesn't always get displayed without a refresh.  not sure if this is an ubuntu problem per-se, but any help would be apreciated...
[07:16] <dthacker> ftab: Good! now we know syntax is correct. Do all the files have the same extension?
[07:17] <wapko> freonchill: i have no idea how it works. i do however know how to google :P
[07:17] <scunizi> ganjanaut: you need to ssh with putty on the windows box to the linux box running screen and irssi.. :)
[07:17] <Vadimer> losher um.. ok
[07:17] <ftab> hmm ues it's .php
[07:17] <ftab> *yes
[07:17] <ganjanaut> scunizi: haha, i have been using remote desktop too
[07:17] <dthacker> ftab:  fgrep "mystring" *.php
[07:18] <Hopsnick> bonjourno
[07:18] <Incarus> ganjanaut, whats the problem?
[07:18] <ftab> dthaker it should search for all directories and it's subdirectories?
[07:18] <scunizi> ganjanaut: well.. ssh isn't necessarily remote desktop.. just cli stuff
[07:18] <ganjanaut> i know, i use both
[07:18] <scunizi> kool
[07:18] <ganjanaut> remote desktop when i'm in the other room
[07:18] <lvlefisto> ftab: the one i told you does
[07:18] <Hopsnick> what's the command to see the list of commands associated with a given program?
[07:18] <freonchill> wapko: sorry, i goggled "d800 ubuntu" and "d800 dbay ubuntu" and "d800 ubuntu cdrw"
[07:18] <dthacker> ftab: It will not search subdirectories unless you use the proper flag.  See the man page
[07:18] <ftab> lvlefisto that one is in process :)
[07:19] <ganjanaut> it's just fun to have two screens again.  i'm surrounded by information
[07:19] <Incarus> Hopsnick, in terminal: "PROGRAMM --help"
[07:19] <dthacker> Hopsnick: man  programname
[07:19] <wapko> freonchill: uhh, no. i didnt mean it like that. no need for apologies :D
[07:19] <ftab> the one lvlefisto provided worked :)
[07:19] <ftab> thanks dthacker and lvlefisto
[07:19] <ftab> :D
[07:19]  * dthacker bows to lvlefisto
[07:19] <dthacker> :)
[07:20] <lvlefisto> what does bow mean?
[07:20] <Hopsnick> define:bow
[07:20] <dthacker> It's a gesture of respect and admiration.
[07:20] <rski> a bow is a firing device for arrows also
[07:20] <lvlefisto> thanks
[07:21] <Hopsnick> some day we'll have define bots implanted in our minds
[07:21] <shift_> hello, is there a way to uninstall everything apart from what's needed for ubuntu-minimal?
[07:21] <dthacker> rski: :P
[07:21] <Hopsnick> shift: like a restore default feature?
[07:21] <losher> shift_: running short of disk space?
[07:21] <mb_again> tried that on a previous ub, ended up with fresh install instead
[07:22] <shift_> Hopsnick, losher, nope, would just like to remove everything and install just the things I need... since it's running a bit slow on the laptop.
[07:22] <Hopsnick> what's ubuntu's equivalent to a windows registry?
[07:22] <shift_> Hopsnick, /etc ?
[07:22] <sebsebseb> !registry |  Hopsnick
[07:22] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: there isn't one
[07:23] <mobi-sheep> Hopsnick: There aren't one.  The closest thing to it would be gconf-editor.
[07:23] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: I think at one stage they tried to make something similar, but it's not needed
[07:23] <ftab> thanks to ubuntu and #ubuntu channel indeed :)
[07:23] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: they as in Linux programmers  not Ubuntu
[07:23] <mb_again> I have an old laptop that I did exactly that for
[07:23] <dthacker> ftab: your welcome.  Thank you for your patience
[07:23] <shift_> Hopsnick, also ~/.config or something along those lines.... but those directories are still nothing like the windows registry.
[07:23] <Hopsnick> the windows registry is the biggest failure feature ever implemented.  It gets so clogged with spyware and once it's changed it's almost impossible to cypher through it
[07:23] <scunizi> Hopsnick: /etc is a location where stuff is stored.. there is no single file(s) like a registry.. one reason linux is more locked down and runs for long stretches without rebooting
[07:23] <losher> shift_: I think there are postings on speeding up your install. Removing stuff doesn't help the way it does in windows. Try googling...?
[07:23] <wapko> freonchill: i read that it might work if you suspend to ram/disk and then swap the bay. and wake the pc up again, maybe it would detect it on wakeup.. but i dont know. was an old article
[07:23] <mb_again> minimal instal, add very lightweight window manager,
[07:24] <mb_again> there is a help doc for it on the ub site
[07:24] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: yeah and you need to be a Windows geek to understand it properly, same thing for the Blue Screen Of Death error messges :D
[07:24] <shift_> losher, I understand, I want a clean system to start off with.... I don't like having 50 proccesses which I don't need running.
[07:25] <losher> shift_: easiest to do a clean install of a minimal system than try & clean up an existing one, I think...
[07:25] <mb_again> I have had good success with turning down all the optional services and processes
[07:25] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: program files  it depends on  the program where those go exactly, but program user data goes in hidden .folders in home
[07:25] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: you know about those already?
[07:25] <Hopsnick> nope
[07:25] <ganjanaut> `ls -a ~`
[07:25] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: ok let's say for example   the Firefox profile had gone wrong
[07:25] <ftab> May Allah bless ubuntu
[07:25] <Hopsnick> but with the answers I got here I can research it online
[07:25] <freonchill> wapko: ill try that - i was looking at the idectl and apparently there is another program/command that thinkpads use for this - lt_hotswap (dont know if this works inplace of idectl or is even available in ubuntu
[07:26] <freonchill> wapko: going to do the swap a try and see what happens
[07:26] <freonchill> brb
[07:26] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: then the hidden .mozilla folder  could just be removed or moved, when Firefox is opended again,  it's like Firefox was just installed and was running for the first time
[07:26] <shift_> losher, hmm =(
[07:26] <ganjanaut> Hopsnick: type that in and look at all of the directories starting with "."
[07:27] <SnakDoc> Hopsnick: you can type ls -a %HOME to see them or open and hit ctrl + h
[07:27] <losher> shift_: I understand if you don't want to reinstall. Maybe someone else can help you do a cleanup. I'm not qualified....
[07:27] <Hopsnick> k, thank you
[07:27] <Hopsnick> I see all of the directores starting with .
[07:27] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: or view > show hidden files and folders,   and view  > list and then press type, and   things are in a nice list in alphabetical order by type
[07:27] <shift_> losher, I'll dig around google a bit more.
[07:28] <SnakDoc> shift_ u saying you have 50 running and thats to much ?
[07:28] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: so if some program meses up instead of just  uninstalling it and re installing
[07:28] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: you can delete or move it's .folder
[07:28] <losher> freonchill: still there?
[07:28] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: and then you got new settings when  you re open
[07:28] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: default settings
[07:29] <shift_> SnakDoc, no, it's actually 172 and yes 50 would still be too much. I would use gentoo, but it's a pain to configure on my laptop. Ubuntu has better support by default.
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> The thing to rember - is that removing a program via the pcakge manager does NOT NOT NOT - reset teh users settings..   it may not even reset the system settings for that package..
[07:29] <SnakDoc> shift_ how much ram are you using ?
[07:29] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: yep if you remove a  program it's .folder may still be left there,  even if you  tell it to remove the config files
[07:30] <shift_> SnakDoc, 470mb
[07:30] <shift_> SnakDoc, out of 933
[07:30] <SnakDoc> shift_ my server got 159 open using 109 and pc has 232 using 559mb
[07:30] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: also it's good to learn the commands for basic things like this.  sudo apt-get install program    and then  sudo apt-get  purge  program to remove the program and config files.  or  sudo apt-get remove to remove just the program,   now  that wasn't that difficult was it? :) :D
[07:31] <roccity_> evening
[07:31] <SnakDoc> shift_ you really think half that bad ?? i just asking last time i had windows xp up i was using 1 gb
[07:31] <freonchill_> wapko: yea, so that didnt work - it never brought the screen back online; guess ill just have to give it a go again later
[07:31] <wapko> freonchill_: :(
[07:31] <sebsebseb> Hopsnick: and  when running commands,  you need the  synaptic package manager or add/remove programs closed, or you will get an error message,  because they are just GUI's for the commands
[07:32] <SnakDoc> shift_ but to answer you question ubuntu-tweaks may have a few features you like also system > pref > startup application gives you options to pick about start up files
[07:32] <losher> freonchill: I googled idectl: it's a shell script that calls the hdparm command, which *does* exist in Ubuntu. At your own risk....
[07:33] <Takyoji> Having issues with connections in Firefox stalling, potentially DNS. Occurs at complete random and for a couple minutes or so. I can just go in any other browser and it'll be normal. I'm certain I don't have any proxy settings or anything of that active at all.
[07:33] <Takyoji> DNS stalled with my ISP's DNS servers, and even with OpenDNS. And as stated, in all other applications it's just fine
[07:33] <roccity_> Takyoji: have you tried uninstalling firefox/
[07:34] <Takyoji> I suppose I could if necessary
[07:34] <Takyoji> though it'll just retain the same settings and everything, right?
[07:34] <shift_> SnakDoc, well here's the thing... when I had gentoo on here, everything would open almost instantly, after switching to kubuntu, a right click takes 5 seconds for the pop up menu to open sometimes. I just want a minimalistic system without having to fiddle with hardware drivers.
[07:34] <mb_again> Takyoji: what kind of isp dns? cable? dialup? dsl?
[07:34] <roccity_> Takyoji: how did you install it the first time
[07:34] <losher> Takyoji: which os version? which firefox version? It's not a known issue as far as I know....
[07:35] <Takyoji> (also, this is with Firefox 3.0, and also in Firefox 3.5 beta (Ubuntu's security testing repository for Firefox 3.5))
[07:35] <SnakDoc> shift_ i have to say i ran KDE for a while was slow for me
[07:35] <Takyoji> I have a 5Mbps connection
[07:35] <Takyoji> Cable
[07:35] <Takyoji> ISP is a Charter
[07:35] <Takyoji> is Charter*
[07:35] <SnakDoc> shift_ you tried gnome by chance ??
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> shift_:  i saw some 200mb ubuntu variant on disrtowatch the other day. :) not sure what was differnt about it.
[07:36] <Takyoji> I just had it installed by default as normal. Nothing abnormal at all
[07:36] <roccity_> Takyoji: do you have both firefoxs'?
[07:36] <scunizi> Takyoji: uninstalling probably won't change anything.. couple of things to try. Edit>Prefrences>Advanced>network and look at the settings there. maybe put on auto
[07:36] <Takyoji> Yes. But this occurred long before that
[07:36] <roccity_> Takyoji: if so are they both open at the same time?
[07:36] <CarlFK> whats the kernel boot param to drop to a shell and not try to load X?
[07:36] <wapko> CarlFK: text
[07:36] <SnakDoc> shift_ i have 1.8 dual core and 2 gb of ram and i thought kububntu was sluggish
[07:36] <scunizi> Takyoji: you could also rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.backup and restart FF to see if the situation changes.
[07:36] <CarlFK> wapko: thanks
[07:36] <shift_> SnakDoc, I used it 'back in the day', and haven't touched it since, but it seems to have come a long way though.... no harm in trying I guess.
[07:36] <Takyoji> Perhaps
[07:37] <mb_again> Takyoji: check contents of /etc/resolv.conf  for dns ips (mine is autogenerated) and dig @ip anyonldthing to check them for upness
[07:37] <losher> shift_: so what were you using in gentoo that was so fast?
[07:37] <SnakDoc> shift_ you should be able to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and get it
[07:37] <SnakDoc> shift_ anything worth a try :D
[07:37] <Takyoji> domain roc.mn.charter.com
[07:37] <Takyoji> search roc.mn.charter.com
[07:37] <Takyoji> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:37] <Takyoji> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:37] <FloodBot2> Takyoji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:38] <shift_> losher, openbox + xfce4panel for the DE.
[07:38] <losher> shift_: no reason you can't run openbox/xfce under Ubuntu you know. It will be faster than kde or gnome...
[07:39] <Takyoji> And when I say "stall", I mean in the matter of minutes.
[07:39] <Takyoji> not just seconds
[07:39] <SnakDoc> shift_ let me know if you think xubuntu-desktop i believe should install that for you
[07:39] <shift_> losher, which is what I was going to install over ubuntu-minimal... I don't want to have gigs worth of unused libraries cluttering the HD, that's all.
[07:40] <shift_> SnakDoc, I did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and removed kubuntu-desktop, but that didn't get rid of all the kde stuff after autoremove..... so I think just reinstalling from scratch is the way to go now.
[07:41] <scunizi> !puregnome | shift_
[07:41] <SnakDoc> should atleast let you see enviroment for now
[07:41] <scunizi> shift_: just don't do the install ubuntu-desktop
[07:42] <SnakDoc> shift_ just do sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-dat
[07:42] <shift_> It's ok.... a clean install it is then.
[07:43] <losher> shift_: I believe I mentioned that 10 minutes ago :-)
[07:43] <SnakDoc> shift_ you must like formating more than me then good luck
[07:44] <shift_> losher, yeah but that was before I realised there is not pretty way around it.
[07:44] <shift_> *no
[07:44] <losher> shift_: I'm just being smug....
[07:44] <shift_> losher, >=|
[07:45] <losher> Takyoji: and you're convinced that other browers work fine even while firefox hangs?
[07:45] <Takyoji> Yes, I just proved that fact again
[07:45] <Takyoji> A series of pages were all hanging at: "Looking up (domain)"
[07:45] <Takyoji> I jump to another browser, loads just fine
[07:46] <Takyoji> I refresh the tabs in Firefox, and they continue to stall at a DNS lookup
[07:46] <losher> Takyoji: I can't think of a reason for that, unless it's a firefox bug. Ask on #firefox ?
[07:46] <shift_> anyway.... another question... with the laptop, there's a button to turn on bluetooth and wireless... it turns off automatically when ubuntu starts and if I suspend to disk with the wireless on, then it turns back on when the laptop is turned on again (so it can be controlled from software)... any idea how I can make it turn on automatically on boot?
[07:46] <Takyoji> I think I asked there a few weeks ago and they barely knew either
[07:46] <Takyoji> they suggested I ask here, since it's probably a more Linux-related issue
[07:47] <scunizi> Takyoji: you could file a bug against it
[07:47] <Takyoji> Perhaps, I'll look through the bug list first.
[07:48] <Takyoji> I'll have to run it without any addons then, to isolate other factors
[07:48] <losher> Takyoji: as I say,I can't think of a reason why firefox would stall but not other programs, unless it's a firefox bug. I would start googling....
[07:49] <Takyoji> Perhaps. Maybe some awkward types of DNS responses
[07:49] <Takyoji> otherwise one other factor I think was supposedly IPv6
[07:49] <scunizi> !ipv6
[07:50] <losher> Takyoji: Which OS version?
[07:50] <Takyoji> 9.04
[07:51] <losher> Takyoji: I hate to say it, but 9.04 is still full of weird bugs....
[07:51] <Takyoji> Yea, I think I noticed this with the upgrade to 9.04
[07:51] <Takyoji> the other issue I sometimes have is programs just becoming unresponsive at complete random
[07:52] <Takyoji> Hopefully 9.10 for example will be a little more stable
[07:52] <PerryArmstrong> can anyone help me solve this problem that i get when i run sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/210185/
[07:52] <losher> Takyoji: I would downgrade to 8.04.2, though it's a hassle to downgrade...
[07:52] <lianimator> what'd be the easiest-to-use GUI toolkit for ubuntu for a programmer who has never done any GUI programming.
[07:52] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  what is th eproblem
[07:52] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  sorry let me read
[07:53] <Takyoji> Yea, I'll just stick with 9.04
[07:53] <Takyoji> I can live perfectly fine with it
[07:53] <losher> Takyoji: you're a better man than I am...
[07:54] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,   open a terminal and paste this       wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[07:54] <PerryArmstrong> coz_; the error is at the end
[07:54] <Takyoji> Heheheh
[07:54] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  then do sudo apt-get update
[07:54] <PerryArmstrong> coz; what should be there after the last hyphen
[07:54] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  nothing just the hyphen
[07:55] <PerryArmstrong> coz; same problem again
[07:55] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  did that key work?
[07:56] <coz_> ok hold on
[07:56] <PerryArmstrong> coz_; ok
[07:59] <Tacosarecool> hello
[07:59] <shaullx> so my nvidia driver works i tried to run some games with wine.. but still i cant enable compiz effects
[07:59] <Tacosarecool> I'm confused on one part
[07:59] <Tacosarecool> Which partition should I install the bootloader to
[07:59] <rski> dosen't matter
[07:59] <rski> as long as you don't have another os installed
[07:59] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  according to this  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads   that should have been the correct command  but look there yourself :)
[08:00] <Tacosarecool> I have win 7
[08:00] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  or where it says the key can be downloaded here   click that
[08:00] <PerryArmstrong> ok
[08:00] <rski> Tacosarecool: you want to keep windows?
[08:00] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,   copy and paste that entire rext file   put it into  text editor
[08:00] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  then save the file as vm-key on the desktop
[08:00] <Tacosarecool> yeah rski sadly

[08:03] <rski> Tacosarecool: wich partition shouldnt matter, grub will put an entry for windows also
[08:03] <powertex> how do i view a folder owner in terminal?
[08:03] <powertex> chown is to change folder owner

[08:05] <wapko> shaullx: its a tray app that lets you choose the WM and stuff
[08:06] <coz_> shaullx,  if you are running compiz  I suggest using fusion-icon
[08:06] <coz_> shaullx, it offers many right click options specific to compiz as well as  Select window manager  and Select window decorator
[08:07] <shaullx> installed now all the gui is messed up after i click reload
[08:07] <PerryArmstrong> coz_; whats this ppa.launchpad.net

[08:08] <defectiv> is this the right way to fix my character encoding? http://bitprison.net/gnome-terminal_character_encoding_utf-8
[08:08] <coz_> shaullx, and did you reboot after installing the driver?
[08:08] <defectiv> i think he means /etc/environment not /etc/environments

[08:11] <coz_> shaullx,  in terminal   lsb_release -a
[08:11] <KittyKatt> Okay, I just installed XUbuntu today. It's having trouble sensing my volume slider, I think.
[08:11] <shaullx> if i enable the restricted driver then my own driver won't work and then games won't run
[08:11] <shaullx> can't u just ask what release i have? :S
[08:11] <shaullx> jaunty
[08:12] <canhcuatrenbautr> eee
[08:12] <coz_> shaullx,  ok in that terminal type  or paste     sudo  /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[08:12] <operations> What should I do? My signal is with minus
[08:12] <dominique> hi
[08:13] <shaullx> sudo: /usr/bin/jockey-gtk: command not found
[08:13] <shaullx> ...
[08:13] <rski> 8]
[08:13] <coz_> shaullx,  o0
[08:13] <coz_> shaullx,   that's not right
[08:13] <KittyKatt> Is anyone very familiar with XUbuntu or XFCE in general?
[08:13] <coz_> shaullx,   is this an upgrade or a clean install of jaunty?
[08:13] <canhcuatrenbautr> deo biet
[08:13] <rski> KittyKatt: try #xubuntu
[08:14] <KittyKatt> rski thanks.
[08:14] <shaullx> u didn't give any command u gave sudo and address
[08:14] <shaullx> its clean
[08:14] <PerryArmstrong> coz_; so any idea
[08:14] <coz_> shaullx,   in terminal   sudo apt-get update   then    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:14] <operations> Hi, I have a problem with my wireless network card on desktop PC. It has very weak signal, while my laptop has full.

[08:15] <shaullx> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[08:15] <PerryArmstrong> coz_; ya
[08:15] <coz_> PerryArmstrong,  then I am at a loss... the application should still install without authentication though
[08:16] <coz_> shaullx,  and there were no errors when you installed jaunty?? because something is wrong if the hardware driver dialog is not listed or installed

[08:44] <ksbalaji> Apollo2366, yes. when I try to register for some sites.
[08:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> okay rski: http://pastebin.com/m2de1d9dc
[08:44] <ksbalaji> Apollo2366, for example smsjunction.com
[08:44] <soreau> ShazbotMcNasty: First off, you're trying to 'play' a .bin file. That extension suggests it is a binary file as opposed to a video file
[08:45] <wapko> how can i see if i have a specific package installed. in cli
[08:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> well yeah it does... but I assure you, it's a movie
[08:45] <rski> ShazbotMcNasty: ok last try put "before the first/ and another " after .bin
[08:45] <Apollo2366> ksbalaji, that is definitely strange...
[08:46] <soreau> ShazbotMcNasty: Second of all, you have a file name with special characters including spaces. You should try 'mplayer /videos/movies/Transformer' then hit tab for auto tab completion
[08:46] <ksbalaji> Apollo2366, what does it mean? Did you try registering in smsjunction.com? It allows free registered users to send sms to India.

[08:48] <Apollo2366> ksbalaji, no problem
[08:49] <rski> ShazbotMcNasty: ok no luck there
[08:49] <rski> ShazbotMcNasty: you can try to rip it with vcdxrip --bin-file=blah.bin
[08:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> nope
[08:49] <rski> vcdimager package i think

[09:05] <dayo> i installed mplayer  sudo aptitude install mplayer    but i can't see it anywhere in Applications-->Sound&Video
[09:05] <spuxollfanpisi> My display is purpley bugged. I did recovery mode and restore graphical, nothing. I had just been screwing around with synergy and xdmx. I don't think I ran anything significant under xrandr

[09:06] <shift_> Hello, is there a way to control the wireless kill switch on the laptop from a script? I am trying to fiddle with /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:03:00.0/rfkill/rfkill0 but without any luck.
[09:06] <dayo> rski: i had it in Sound&Video when i still had ibex on my laptop. reinstalled to jaunty yesterday and installed mplayer, but i can't find it in the menu
[09:07] <rski> dayo: maybe the package split, one gui and one non-gui search in synaptic and look
[09:07] <vigo> dayo: Have you looked in System>Preferences>Main Menu?
[09:08] <rski> dayo: what you are talking about is gmplayer  NOT mplayer
[09:08] <wapko> is there a way to prevent pidgin from showing up on all workspaces ?
[09:08] <rski> gmplayer = gui for mplayer
[09:08] <vigo> right
[09:08] <dayo> vigo: odd. Main Menu won't start :-/
[09:08] <wapko> lol. now it doesnt do it.. weird
[09:08] <dayo> rski:  i should install gmplayer, then?
[09:09] <spuxollfanpisi> My display is purpley bugged. I did recovery mode and restore graphical, nothing. I had just been screwing around with synergy and xdmx. I don't think I ran anything significant under xrandr. Anyway, display looks great on liveCD, even does DRI. Help?

[09:11] <rski> om26er: liter?
[09:11] <oldude67> probably means lighter
[09:12] <mobi-sheep> wapko: It's a Pidgin-in-all-workspaces bug.

[09:13] <rski> is the exact command

[09:13] <mobi-sheep> gbear142751: You know you can use tab, right?
[09:13] <vigo> vicky_: #6 has it almost covered
[09:14] <oldude67> om26er: i would say that ubuntu is the lighter of the two, cause you can put ubuntu on a cd and debian has to be installed from the net.
[09:14] <gbear142751> that was it Ahadiel!  Thanks
[09:14] <Ahadiel> gbear142751, np

[09:14] <rski> oldude67: debian dosen't have to be installed from the net
[09:15] <oldude67> rski: ok if you want to put it on 2 dvds you can put it on them
[09:15] <oldude67> wont fit on a cd
[09:15] <mobi-sheep> oldude67: It's just matter of media.  Ubuntu can be installed via net too.
[09:15] <rski> 1cd is enough to install debian

[09:40] <bullgard4> /usr/lib/fast-user-switch-applet/fast-user-switch-applet is an executable. Why does  '~$ which fast-user-switch-applet' produce no output?
[09:41] <misteralexander> th0r: thanks, worked perfectly.
[09:43] <mechdave> bullgard4, At a guess /usr/lib/* is not in your $PATH, try echo $PATH to find out
[09:43] <vigo> vicky_: also here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[09:44] <penthief> misteralexander: Thanks
[09:45] <bullgard4> mechdave: In my Ubuntu 9.04 computer $PATH does not include /usr/lib/ . Is it against the rules that an executable has been stored in /usr/lib/ ?
[09:46] <villevicious> Hi I just installed the Ubuntu NBR on a laptop and the most curious problem appeared: The mouse cursor is to the right of the lokation vere the icons are activated. For example when I move the cursor over an icon the second icon to the left is higlighted. the problem exist both with the touchpad and an logitech usb mouse. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[09:46] <mechdave> bullgard4, well that is why which could not find it then... what rules are you speaking of?
[09:47] <lajka3> !bluetooth
[09:48] <bullgard4> mechdave: The $PATH variable has been invented to find executables. But it does not find this particular executable. So one could suspect that this executable is wrongly stored.
[09:50] <mobi-sheep> bullgard4: What are you trying to do? o.O
[09:51] <mobi-sheep> villevicious: What hardware
[09:51] <mechdave> Depends if Gnome is meant to reference the applet in that location. ie: the applet may not be meant to be run as a standalone executable. It looks like most applets are in /usr/lib as well
[09:51] <villevicious> mobi-sheep: acer aspire 1410
[09:52] <luca__> good moorning
[09:53] <mechdave> bullgard4, I don't have any answers, sorry. I am not experienced in where Gnome puts their executables, maybe try #gnome for more info.

[09:58] <mobi-sheep> villevicious: Problem solved then? ;o
[09:59] <th0r> Black_Phantom: no
[09:59] <oldude67> but it did sound good..lol
[09:59] <marcus_aurelius> Black_Phantom: prob not, you still need kernel modules i think
[09:59] <bullgard4> mechdave: Yes. Thank you for your help.
[10:00] <Stdht> Could someone please Help!!!! I need to use portaudio under ubuntu8  and I configured it with --without-oss  . Why pa_devs says number of devices=0
[10:00] <mechdave> bullgard4, no worries, not that I was much :)
[10:01] <Black_Phantom> I think the prob. of my driver ( which is fixed now ) is from the Accelmethod section in xorg.conf, especially coz scrolling is slow in firefox & compiz too. Does fixing the Accelmethod after formatting fixes the prob. ?
[10:02] <villevicious> mobi-sheep: the mouse works fine in the normal ubuntu desktop, the problem appears to be limited to the netbookremix desktop

[10:03] <bullgard4> mechdave: Do not denigrate yourself: The discussion was useful for me.
[10:04] <villevicious> mobi-sheep: I think we'll live with the basic desktop just fine
[10:04] <mechdave> bullgard4, no worries mate, I am more of a tech kinda bloke in the general systems of UNIX, rather than gui's. I am glad you found it useful ;)
[10:05] <Stdht> Could someone please Help!!!! I need to use portaudio under ubuntu8 and I configured it with --without-oss . Why pa_devs says number of devices=0
[10:07] <bullgard4> mechdave: It was useful indeed. I had forgotten what I once learned: What is $PATH for. But I am not certain if the File Hierarchy Standard applies here. --  So I appreciate that you helped me a bit along my way.
[10:08] <mechdave> bullgard4, I am not sure either, another one is Ubuntu meant to conform to the POSIX standard?

[10:09] <wolter> papul, just testing something haha
[10:09] <Black_Phantom> papul,  cd, then wget
[10:09] <wolter> papul, i think you have to put the path of where you want the file to land after the uri
[10:10] <papul> wolter, how?
[10:10] <papul> wolter, details please
[10:10] <wolter> papul, wget <http://file> /home/papul/land_spot
[10:10] <wolter> papul, just a wild guess
[10:10] <zini1> I am looking for a partial Linux replacement for TortoiseSVN. I guess I can do things like commits and updates from the terminal. But I need things like a log-browser, revision-graph browser, diff-browser and such with a GUI frontend.
[10:10] <papul> wolter, thanks :)
[10:11] <joaopinto> papul, -O outup_file
[10:11] <bullgard4> mechdave: My impression is that Ubuntu is not so eager to cling to the POSIX standard. Ubuntu's main targets are others. For example I dare to say that Debian is more eager to cling to the POSIX standard than Ubuntu, and OpenBSD even more so. --  No, not all programs in the Ubuntu repositories conform to POSIX.
[10:11] <papul> will auto super grub disk restore ubuntu grub?
[10:11] <jakubek> hello.i've ctualized alsa and i stil don't have sound on my laptop acer aspire 553-
[10:11] <wolter> papul, joaopinto 's method works ! mine doesn't
[10:11] <papul> ohhh
[10:11] <wolter> papul, o doesn't have to be capital though
[10:12] <papul> ok
[10:12] <papul> will auto super grub disk restore ubuntu grub?
[10:12] <wolter> papul, you can try with any file in your hard drive by prefixing its path with file://
[10:12] <joaopinto> wolter, man wget, and yes, it should be capital
[10:12] <mechdave> bullgard4, just reading on the wiki about FHS, it all started with RedHat, Dell and HP, I think Ubuntu loosely follows it (or is that Debian?)
[10:12] <wolter> joaopinto, no
[10:12] <wolter> joaopinto, test it yourself
[10:12] <joaopinto> wolter, random guesses are not very helpful, please read the manpages instread
[10:12] <joaopinto> wolter, is not about testing, is about reading the command documentation, man wget
[10:13] <wolter> papul, wget file:///home/papul/file.hti -o /home/papul/Desktop/file.extension
[10:13] <joaopinto> wolter, just because something works it does not mean it is being propery used
[10:13] <wolter> joaopinto, in the long run the manual is to get precise results
[10:13] <wolter> joaopinto, why is it not properly used when it works?
[10:14] <papul> hi herman ;)
[10:14] <wolter> joaopinto, and who said it had to be capital?
[10:14] <joaopinto> wolter, because it may just work on whatever conditions you are trying, and not in general,
[10:14] <joaopinto> wolter, read the man, you will notice the capital "-O" there
[10:14] <wolter> joaopinto, look at the first example in man wget after OPTIONS Option Syntax
[10:14] <joaopinto> and on unix, case does matter, event for command line parameters
[10:14] <wolter> joaopinto, it has lowercase o
[10:14] <wolter> joaopinto, you read it
[10:14] <jakubek> can anyone help me?
[10:15] <Black_Phantom> jakubek, dont ask to ask, just ask
[10:15] <joaopinto> wolter, stop being anoying and read the maual carefully, -o is different from -O, -o is for logfile output, while -O is for the download output !!!
[10:16] <jakubek> so i ask :)
[10:16] <wolter> joaopinto, thats just a formality
[10:16] <joaopinto> wolter, ITS NOT !!!!
[10:16] <wolter> joaopinto, output is output in the end
[10:16] <Ted_> please stop arguing
[10:16] <mechdave> !ask > jakubek

[10:17] <A4Tech> Hi all, tell what the utility can adjust the power a laptop?
[10:17] <joaopinto> wolter, well, I am not wasting more time with you, since you can't understand between the command log output, and the download output, neither you know how to read a manpage, and apparently you don't care about it

[10:18] <Black_Phantom> A4Tech, you mean to save power such as power saver ?
[10:18] <bullgard4> A4Tech: Yes.
[10:18] <A4Tech> bullgard4: you mean bt && wifi?

[10:19] <bullgard4> A4Tech: Please put more precise questions.

[10:22] <joaopinto> papul, you have gtk2, now again, what are you trying to do ?
[10:22] <Black_Phantom> mistaken*
[10:23] <Black_Phantom> And if their are any necessary dependencies, it will be downloaded automatically since your using apt-get
[10:23] <A4Tech> Black_Phantom: Yes, but it is a heap of extra libraries in the system

[10:25] <joaopinto> you want libgtk2.0-dev, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[10:25] <jeremy2> i just installed vmware player and now it is giving me an error screen that it can't find Kernel Headers 2.6.27-8-eeepc... anyone know how i can install these specific headers?  according to synaptic i have linux-headers-2.6.28-13.45
[10:25] <papul> then?
[10:26] <Black_Phantom> A4Tech, google Gnome power saver, I couldnt find one
[10:26] <joaopinto> papul, then just re-rerun the configure, but you will need other libraries
[10:27] <quizme> anybody here ?
[10:27] <oldude67> nope
[10:27] <joaopinto> !anyone | quizme
[10:27] <jzorc> hallo iam
[10:27] <jzorc> first time here
[10:27] <papul> joaopinto, how do i install it?
[10:27] <jzorc> :D
[10:27] <wolter> papul, the library?
[10:27] <joaopinto> papul, before trying to building something from source you should learn about package management
[10:27] <papul> wolter, how?
[10:27] <Black_Phantom> !hello
[10:27] <wolter> papul, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[10:27] <Black_Phantom> just testing
[10:27] <wolter> papul, you mean that?
[10:28] <joaopinto> papul, I already gave you the command, but you really should read more about package management first
[10:28] <quizme> i'm trying to do a ProxyPass but I"m getting a Forbidden error.  have any ideas?
[10:28] <wolter> papul, if you had any repos version installed then you should remove that one first Ü
[10:28] <joaopinto> if you start bulding/installing from source, you can "break" your system my overreding system packages
[10:29] <papul> wolter, i dont have
[10:29] <wolter> papul, carry on then
[10:29] <papul> and i am not so dumb
[10:29] <joaopinto> quizme, ProxyPass in what context ? apache ?
[10:29] <kane77> do you know of any app that would find mp3's with missing tags or find duplicate songs?
[10:29] <wolter> papul, haha sorry if I made you feel dumb :S
[10:30] <joaopinto> kane77, there are several utilites to find dup files in general
[10:30] <papul> wolter, ;)
[10:30] <joaopinto> kane77, to find duplicated files you can use fdupes
[10:31] <jeremy2> anyone know how i can install Kernel Headers 2.6.28-8-eeepc?
[10:31] <kane77> joaopinto, but I was thinking something oriented on music, since you can have multiple files of the same song that are in different bitrate (thus different files) but they are the same song..
[10:31] <papul> got error again configure: error: --enable-application=APP is required
[10:31] <jeremy2> or where i can find it at?
[10:31] <wolter> papul, then execute "$ ./configure --enable-application=APP"
[10:31] <joaopinto> ah ok, you mean an mp3 tags aware finder
[10:32] <papul> have to go bye
[10:32] <wolter> bye joaopinto :)
[10:33] <quizme> joaopinto: apache
[10:34] <joaopinto> kane77, try http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Duplicate-Music-Matcher-4889.shtml
[10:34] <kane77> joaopinto, thanks
[10:35] <Chr|s> is there some sort of program to check the hard drive integrity?
[10:36] <quizme> chris: no
[10:36] <quizme> none
[10:36] <quizme> j/k
[10:36] <quizme> i imagine there is
[10:37] <joaopinto> Chr|s, you can use badblocks for a surface scan
[10:37] <joaopinto> Chr|s, before that you should perform a filesyste check, which only checks filesystem data structures
[10:38] <Chr|s> where are this programs located?
[10:38] <joaopinto> Chr|s, there are are some SMART tools, if that HD is SMART capable
[10:38] <joaopinto> Chr|s, those I am mentioning are command line utilities
[10:39] <zini1> What is best practice, when installing software from source? I read that /usr is not a good place, because it can collide with the package management system there. Is /user/local better? Or should I choose a completely different place?
[10:40] <Flannel> zini1: Yeah, stuff you compile yourself goes in /usr/local/*
[10:40] <zini1> Flannel: Good. Thank you.
[10:40] <joaopinto> it depends on the "stuff", if you are installing a library package,  /usr/local is not a good place :P
[10:41] <joaopinto> but yes, for binaries, /usr/local is usually a good place
[10:41] <slimjimflim> hi runnin #xubuntu intrepid 64-bit amd with pulseaudio, and my sound just stopped working, anybody know what i can check for?
[10:41] <joaopinto> zini1, and make sure you use checkinstall, for easy removal
[10:41] <zini1> joaopinto: Please elaborate. Why would it be a bad place for a library and what other place should I choose?
[10:42] <joaopinto> zini1, if you use /usr/local for a library, .so, .a, .h will be installed into an use/local, if an application needs those libraries they are not set on the default library search path
[10:43] <skyl> How can I find mt WAN   	IP Address,  Subnet Mask,    ISP Gateway Address?
[10:43] <irivolic> how is it possible to edit the bookmarks in Places menu?
[10:43] <n0gear> skyl: ifconfig
[10:43] <dury> hi there channel :)
[10:43] <joaopinto> zini1, if you have a good understanding on what you are installing, and you don't plan to have multiple versions of the software, it is safe to install to /usr
[10:44] <skyl> n0gear doesn't that just show the private stuff?
[10:44] <zini1> joaopinto: Okay. Thanks.
[10:44] <joaopinto> skyl, there is no such thing as private or public config, you have a single config, which is your card IP config
[10:45] <Stdht> how to check if oss installed
[10:45] <Stdht> ubuntu8
[10:45] <skyl> joaopinto so, in trying to set those values in my router I can just input what ifconfig tells me?
[10:46] <joaopinto> skyl, ah well, you mean a router config, that is a different story, those should be fetched automatically from your ISP using DHCP
[10:46] <joaopinto> unless you have a static IP (unlikely) and you have the documentation for the expected config :)
[10:47] <oldude67> Stdht, try typing lsmod in a terminal and see if its using it.
[10:47] <skyl> I do have a static IP; there is no way to find out without phoning the ISP for these WAN values?
[10:47] <KB1JWQ> skyl: What values?
[10:47] <quizme> anybody know apache here ?
[10:47] <skyl>  WAN    IP Address,  Subnet Mask,    ISP Gateway Address?
[10:47] <KB1JWQ> quizme: Sure.  But don't ask to ask.
[10:47] <slimjimflim> quizme: a bit
[10:48] <skyl> quizme +
[10:48] <Stdht> oldude67 I tried. Grep what?
[10:48] <quizme> i'm trying to do a ProxyPass but I'm getting a Forbidden error.
[10:48] <oldude67> know just lsmod
[10:48] <KB1JWQ> skyl: Technically yes, but... :-p  Easier to get the correct info the first time rather than playing "guess and check."
[10:48] <oldude67> Stdht, just lsmod it should show if its using it.
[10:48] <Baskak_> hi everybody
[10:48] <quizme> http://www.thirdreplicator.com/foo
[10:48] <joaopinto> skyl, if you don't use dchp (I mean for your public internet, not for the loca lan), then you need to get that info from your ISP
[10:48] <Baskak_> i have problem with gnome due to either cancelling an upgrade to jaunty (via "cancel" button while it was downloading), or earlier problems with gnome on 8.04, which, however, were seemingly fixed by  upgrade to 8.10 in the meantime. i managed to upgrade to jaunty from console, but the system don't boot properly, showing only the items on the desktop after login and no controls at all. dpkg...
[10:48] <Baskak_> ...(recovery mode) results in "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!" with freeze everytime, and aptitude asks for 'dpkg --configure -a' repeatedly and states there are "95 partially installed packages" including 'xserver-xorg' which it can't fix when tries.
[10:48] <FloodBot2> Baskak_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:49] <joaopinto> skyl, please understand that I am talking about dhcp for the internet IP, not for your LAN IPs

[10:49] <quizme> i'm running a daemon on port 9000
[10:49] <oldude67> Stdht, shows its using it
[10:50] <quizme> and i'm trying to give access to it
[10:50] <Stdht> oldude67 So there no alsa!
[10:50] <oldude67> Stdht, you asked about oss not alsa
[10:50] <oldude67> lol
[10:51] <quizme> anybody have any ideas ?
[10:51] <oldude67> Stdht, type alsa into the terminal and see if it gives you something
[10:51] <joaopinto> quizme, and your daemon provides contents for /foo ?
[10:51] <quizme> yeah
[10:51] <Stdht> oldude67 I try to understand I have alsa with virtual oss api or alsa and oss installed both
[10:52] <quizme> joaopinto: glassfish -p 9000 -c /foo -d
[10:52] <Stdht> oldude67 I see options for load unload etc
[10:52] <oldude67> Stdht, probably both
[10:52] <oldude67> you have both
[10:52] <joaopinto> quizme, you have installed & enabled mod_proxy, right ?
[10:52] <quizme> joaopinto: yes, it's enabled
[10:53] <Stdht> oldude67 I configurer portaudio with optin no-oss and pa_devs says that there no devices.
[10:53] <quizme> joaopinto: sudo a2enmod proxy_http
[10:53] <Stdht> SO I feel like th sound goes only through oss
[10:53] <oldude67> Stdht, try configuring it with oss and see if it helps
[10:53] <joaopinto> quizme, restarted the apachae after enabling ?
[10:53] <quizme> joaopinto: yup
[10:54] <joaopinto> quizme, try: wget -S localhost/foo
[10:54] <joaopinto> check the "Server:" field
[10:55] <quizme> joaopinto: i get forbidden
[10:55] <joaopinto> and the server field is from apache ?
[10:55] <Stdht> oldude67 But with oss portaudio produces terrible crackling sound!!! So I need to try to use alsa instead oss
[10:56] <quizme> joaopinto: curl localhost:9000/foo/widgets  <--- that gives me what i want
[10:56] <quizme> joaopinto: what do you mean the server field ?
[10:56] <joaopinto> quizme, don't divert :) I have asked you to check the "server" field from wget -S, to see if the reply is coming from apache ;)
[10:57] <joaopinto> quizme, wget -S produces an output with several fields, including the "Server:" header
[10:57] <dury> my question is... if it's possible to convert a .mp4 file to .avi file
[10:57] <dury> with ffmpeg
[10:57] <joaopinto> durt, yes, I think so with a converter, like avidemux
[10:57] <oldude67> Stdht, well im not sure about your program just know the basics of the systems and the uses...as far as alsa and oss..check your settings and see if you can switch them or change them.other then that , i dont think i can help you.sorry
[10:57] <joaopinto> and ffmpeg :)
[10:57] <quizme> joaopinto: oh ok.  let me check.
[10:58] <quizme> joaopinto: Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch Phusion_Passenger/2.2.2
[10:58] <joaopinto> ok
[10:58] <Baskak_> anybody?
[10:59] <joaopinto> quizme, 99% of my problems are related to apaache vhosts config, have you checked that the error is logged into /var/log/apache2/thirdreplicator.com.err ?
[10:59] <oldude67> !anybody
[10:59] <joaopinto> if is not, then you request it nog matching the vhost config, and the proxy is not being used
[10:59] <quizme> joaopinto: i'll check

[11:01] <Baskak_> oldude67: can you help me, perhaps?
[11:01] <oldude67> Baskak_, dont know whats your problem?
[11:01] <Baskak_> i have problem with gnome due to either cancelling an upgrade to jaunty (via "cancel" button while it was downloading), or earlier problems with gnome on 8.04, which, however, were seemingly fixed by  upgrade to 8.10 in the meantime. i managed to upgrade to jaunty from console, but the system don't boot properly, showing only the items on the desktop after login and no controls at all. dpkg...

[11:02] <Baskak_> oldude67: here it is (above)
[11:02] <oldude67> Baskak_, have you done dpkg --configure -a?
[11:02] <Baskak_> :)
[11:02] <joaopinto> quizme, remove your "Deny" rules
[11:02] <quizme> joapinto in my vhost config or globally ?
[11:02] <Baskak_> oldude67: yes, repeatedly, it always results in "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!"
[11:02] <joaopinto> quizme, globally, just to make sure you don't have other rule overriding
[11:03] <oldude67> Baskak_, have you rebooted?
[11:03] <Baskak_> oldude67: repeatedly, although after this message there's a freeze, and i need to hard turn off
[11:03] <joaopinto> quizme, the "client denied by server configuration" usually relates to a Deny rule
[11:04] <oldude67> Baskak_, have you tried hitting the escape key when booting and fixing dpkg that way?
[11:04] <quizme> joaopinto: I took out the Deny line
[11:04] <quizme> joaopinto: no dice
[11:04] <Baskak_> oldude67: no, can you you give me me more info?
[11:05] <joaopinto> I am assuming you restyarted :P
[11:05] <quizme> joaopinto: http://pastie.org/534650
[11:05] <Baskak_> oldude67: recovery or normal mode?
[11:05] <oldude67> Baskak_, when you reboot hit the escape key and go to recovery and there will be a list that come up and go to dpkg fix
[11:06] <Baskak_> oldude67: this i did while rebooting to recovery mode (chosen from grub). the same effect
[11:06] <Baskak_> oldude67: or is there any other way?
[11:06] <protocols> hi all
[11:06] <quizme> joaopinto: what's the diagnosis, doctor ?
[11:07] <oldude67> Baskak_, have you tried in terminal update?
[11:07] <joaopinto> oldude67, I am doing some research, I only have a proxy config based on the virtuakhost name, not on a location
[11:07] <wildc4rd> is there any software I can get/use to slow down my CPU when its idling?
[11:07] <protocols> anybody had the problem, that ubuntu installation just works fine, but as soon as ethernet traffic occurs (like during update/upgrade) the harddisk makes strange noises and the pc hangs up?
[11:08] <Baskak_> oldude67: i updated to 9.04 in terminal reached via recovery mode (via "drop to root prompt")
[11:08] <protocols> Wildcard77: depends on your cpu
[11:08] <Baskak_> oldude67: upgraded
[11:08] <joaopinto> ops, was for quizme
[11:08] <oldude67> Baskak_, try sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and see if it will help.
[11:09] <KB1JWQ> wildc4rd: When it's idling it's not in use anyway.
[11:09] <KB1JWQ> Er, that was for Wildcard77
[11:09] <quizme> joaopinto: ok
[11:09] <Ian__> what's the channel for karmic again?
[11:09] <Baskak_> oldude67: checking
[11:09] <protocols> or anybody success with installing ubuntu on a ALiveNF6G-GLAN mainboard?
[11:09] <oldude67> ian_, try ubuntu+1
[11:10] <Ian__> ty
[11:10] <oldude67> yw

[11:11] <ciunix> hi all

[11:11] <joaopinto> quizme, oh wait, you have a typo
[11:11] <joaopinto> its <Proxy *>
[11:11] <joaopinto> not <Directory Proxy *>

[11:12] <quizme> colon
[11:12] <joaopinto> yes, just  <Proxy *>

[11:18] <Baskak_> oldude67: i have no access to normal mode, as i wrote
[11:18] <KB1JWQ> papul: THen go learn; presumably on a package with fewer dependencies. But begging for help in IRC isn't "learning" by any stretch,

[11:22] <papul> KB1JWQ, will that not work
[11:22] <ditty_kong> papul: why not just try make then sudo make install and see what that does after you configure
[11:23] <Baskak_> oldude67: shall i ask again in hope there's someone more into it?
[11:23] <oldude67> Baskak_, yup
[11:23] <stevenlan> is it possible to edit a file from the shell?
[11:23] <Baskak_> oldude67: here it goes, then :)
[11:23] <Flannel> stevenlan: of course.  nano is a popular/simple text editor: "nano /path/to/file"

[11:24] <papul> ditty_kong, it does not cofigure at all
[11:24] <KB1JWQ> papul: ./configure; make; make install isn't how you install Thunderbird.
[11:24] <stevenlan> how do i get nano?
[11:24] <Laurenceb> hi, can anyone help me with dosbox?
[11:24] <Flannel> stevenlan: It's already installed
[11:24] <Laurenceb> I want to setup its C drive
[11:24] <papul> KB1JWQ, then how do i install it
[11:24] <KB1JWQ> papul: Once again, read the documentation.
[11:24] <Laurenceb> as /documents or something
[11:24] <stevenlan> how do i start it?
[11:24] <Flannel> papul: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[11:24] <KB1JWQ> papul: It took me fifteen seconds of googling to figure that out.
[11:24] <papul> KB1JWQ, readme?
[11:25] <ditty_kong> papul: where di you get the source code from? did you start with a tarball?
[11:25] <Flannel> stevenlan: "nano" opens a blank file or "nano /path/to/file" if you want to open a particular file automatically
[11:25] <stevenlan> ah ok thanks
[11:25] <papul> ditty_kong, i got it from mozilla website. i have decompressed the tarball
[11:26] <Flannel> papul: Please stop.  You should concentrate on learning other aspects of linux before taking on compiling.  It'll make your experience much better overall.

[11:28] <livingdaylight> I've just loaded Virtualbox with XP and when i launch it for the first time (START) i get error
[11:29] <locovicen> hello
[11:29] <ditty_kong> if you want to learn linux try Slackware. You compile 24/7/365
[11:29] <livingdaylight> kernel driver vboxdr apparently not loaded??
[11:29] <locovicen> dou you know assembler?
[11:29] <oldude67> i dont understand i switched from slackware cause i didnt want to have to compile, why go to a system that does it for you to recompile things.?
[11:29] <livingdaylight> ditty_kong, lol
[11:30] <KB1JWQ> oldude67: If I want source build I go with FreeBSD. :-p  Ubuntu's a binary distro, so installing from binary makes sense.
[11:30] <oldude67> just seems like a unwanted headache.
