[03:05] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[03:05] <benplaut> freaks: not sure, then... i haven't used a debian system in a while

[03:10] <ThJ> i think i found a bug. i disabled the built-in SiS sound chip, but the ubuntu GUI now claims there are no sound cards (default sound card dropdown box is greyed out), but i KNOW there are drivers loaded for my PCMCIA card and they worked before
[03:10] <eobanb> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:10] <benplaut> !tell ThJ about bugzilla
[03:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about bugzilla
[03:11] <eobanb> !bug
[03:11] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:11] <tanlaan> i had 3 error messages on startup relating to Bonobo-activation-server and nautilus, if anyone can help here are the 3 errors http://pastebin.ca/82034
[03:11] <benplaut> oh
[03:11] <ThJ> to me it would seem that some system script is being stupid and is not counting hotplug sound devices as real sound devices.
[03:11] <SlyGuy> yo
[03:11] <eobanb> welcome, SlyGuy
[03:11] <webben> if i download some source for a debian package (i.e. the dsc, orig.tar.gz, and diff.gz files --- what command do i use to build the package into a deb?
[03:11] <revilot> i get a resolvconf failed msg on boot up, anyone know what that is and how i can rectify it?
[03:11] <eobanb> webben, what are you trying to install
[03:11] <SlyGuy> where would be place to get some assistance in getting my laptop monitor to display in its native res?
[03:11] <webben> checkinstall 1.6
[03:12] <SlyGuy> i got the NVidia drivers installed properly
[03:12] <eobanb> webben, checkinstall is already in the repository
[03:12] <eobanb> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/admin/checkinstall
[03:12] <rathe> sec trying to get pastebin to work
[03:12] <rathe> :d
[03:12] <benplaut> ok, i'm out for the afternoon... bye folks :)
[03:12] <webben> eobanb: er ... 1.6 i said
[03:12] <eobanb> webben, oh.
[03:13] <eobanb> webben, in that case you'd probably be better off building from source.
[03:13] <rathe> http://pastebin.ca/82052 eobanb
[03:13] <eobanb> thank you rathe.
[03:13] <rathe> np
[03:13] <webben> eobanb: yes ... i know i could build from source, but i want it installed as a nice deb
[03:13] <SlyGuy> hmm the forums might be a better place eh?
[03:14] <tanlaan> i had 3 error messages on startup relating to Bonobo-activation-server and nautilus, if anyone can help here are the 3 errors http://pastebin.ca/82034
[03:14] <potremc> hey, i have a problem
[03:14] <eobanb> rathe, you don't have universe enabled here
[03:14] <webben> eobanb: after all, that's why i'm bothering with checkinstall in the first place
[03:14] <rathe> i did what that link said
[03:14] <rathe> what do i need to do
[03:14] <eobanb> rathe, on lines 1 and 2, you need the word 'multiverse' at the end
[03:14] <potremc> i installed kubuntu yesterday and got the internet working fine (connected to another comp that has net via ethernet)
[03:14] <Redrose> what is sit0?
[03:14] <potremc> i ran a few updates restarted and now it doesnt work at all
[03:14] <BMXer> where do i change the apt-get mirror?
[03:14] <eobanb> rathe, actually, put them on 16 and 17 instead, for organisation's sake.
[03:14] <Redrose> and how do i turn it off
[03:14] <jrib> webben: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc   <-- that is what I use
[03:15] <eobanb> Redrose, six-to-four
[03:15] <eobanb> Redrose, it's for IPv6
[03:15] <potremc> dns is correct, gateway is correct, subnet and ip are correct
[03:15] <picket> i must be a retard, but whats the differens betwen GDM and GTK ?
[03:15] <Redrose> should i turn it off?
[03:15] <rathe> do i add the ' or just multiverse
[03:15] <eobanb> Redrose, it doesnt matter
[03:15] <eobanb> rathe, just multiverse, no quotes
[03:15] <potremc> anybody know what the problem might be?
[03:15] <Redrose> i know, but still, i'd like it out of my ifconfig
[03:15] <eobanb> at the end of lines 16 and 17
[03:15] <webben> jrib: thanks :)
[03:15] <SlyGuy> GDM is gnome
[03:15] <SlyGuy> gtk is a widget toolkit
[03:16] <picket> ah
[03:16] <phire> potremc: is the network working?
[03:16] <rathe> k sec let me update and try
[03:16] <potremc> yes
[03:16] <picket> so for ubuntu (im looking for themes) id go with GDM ?
[03:16] <potremc> just not internet
[03:16] <tanlaan> i had 3 error messages on startup relating to Bonobo-activation-server and nautilus, if anyone can help here are the 3 errors http://pastebin.ca/82034
[03:16] <Redrose> how do i shutdown sit0?
[03:16] <revilot> i get a resolvconf failed msg on boot up, anyone know what that is and how i can rectify it?
[03:16] <potremc> i can communicate with the machine i am connected to
[03:16] <SlyGuy> gdm is the app that is gnome..
[03:16] <phire> the the routing table setup propely
[03:17] <picket> hum :s
[03:17] <potremc> when i ping google.com the ip resolves but i dont get responses
[03:17] <eobanb> Redrose, i don't mean to be a jerk here, but what does it matter
[03:17] <potremc> route returns:
[03:17] <SlyGuy> all i want it to get my damn laptop out of this crap 1024x768 res
[03:17] <eobanb> !fixres
[03:17] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:17] <potremc> <IP_ADDRESS>   *   <IP_ADDRESS> U 0 0 eth0
[03:17] <potremc> default   <IP_ADDRESS>   <IP_ADDRESS> UG   0 0 eth0
[03:18] <potremc> <IP_ADDRESS> is the router i am using as a gateway
[03:18] <eobanb> picket, a gdm theme is just a theme for the login screen, not the entire UI
[03:19] <eobanb> picket, for a window theme you probably want a metacity theme
[03:19] <potremc> i've played around constantly with the network config dialog, route, ifconfig etc
[03:19] <potremc> but i cannot get it working
[03:19] <potremc> i'm beginning to think it is a problem with kubuntu because everything is logically correct
[03:19] <Sakara> hey all I just attempted to install nVidia drivers for my desktop I now cant startx any ideas?
[03:19] <Sakara> the error is API mismatch:

[03:23] <RyanTMulligan> is there a proscribed way to network install ubuntu using a disk drive boot?

[03:28] <hunter> xchat -> sever list pick on and connect
[03:28] <phire> If went booting, and nothing is printed after the grub messages, does that mean the kernel failed?

[03:33] <tailsfan> and if so, can it run in GNOME?
[03:33] <blind> killall nautilus will kill nautilus, and in my experience, the program restarts itself.
[03:34] <tanlaan> blind: ok ill try it

[03:41] <kolaje> sakora: i found a website that taught me to edit the config file for certain laptops to work
[03:41] <Rug> scholtz: first you need to update your sources.list, then apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:41] <kolaje> sakora; that's what happened to me originally as well, with my laptop
[03:41] <techmad> Sakora: have you checked your xorg.conf?

[03:51] <kolaje> is there an option for starting X that sets the resolution it starts with?
[03:51] <test> anyone know of any config errors with bittorrent?
[03:52] <MrZaius> is there a way to run ubuntu's installer from inside of a preexisting install?
[03:52] <Tom7e> hi.  what is the difference between tar.gz and tar.bz2 files?
[03:52] <MrZaius> I've got an idle partition on a gentoo box that I want to install ubuntu on
[03:52] <MrZaius> but I can't afford any downtime
[03:52] <MrZaius> gotta just install ubuntu and chroot into it for a while
[03:52] <phire> MrZaius, you have to use debootstrap
[03:52] <MrZaius> phire: how's that done?
[03:53] <tailsfan> Gaim sometimes closes on me
[03:54] <phire> !debootstrap
[03:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about debootstrap
[03:55] <scholtz> ok i did a dist-upgrade dapper....how do i turn it into amd64?
[03:55] <phire> first you install debootstrap, you then use it to install a base ubuntu system
[03:56] <phire> you then chroot into it, and configure it, and istall a kernel
[03:56] <MrZaius> thank god
[03:56] <phire> then you should be able to boot into it
[03:56] <scholtz> is it easy to update dapper 386 to amd64?
[03:56] <MrZaius> you just saved me from having to stay in my server closet till 10:30pm
[03:56] <phire> http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/apcs04.html
[03:57] <narfmaster> scholtz, i think you need to at least install a different kernel
[03:57] <phire> but change breezy to dapper
[03:57] <phire> and base-config nolonger works
[03:57] <FunkyDiscoMan> LO - easy question if anyone wants to take it up. How do you stop the gnome menu collapsing to hide some items? been pissing me off for a while
[03:57] <Ares> How do I find out everything about my computer?
[03:58] <Ares> In Dapper Drake.
[03:58] <techmad> I dont know if some of you know
[03:58] <Ares> Let me clarify, all hardware properties, etc.
[03:58] <narfmaster> Ares, install sysinfo
[03:58] <techmad> but aim/aol seems to be banning people using a client other than their own
[03:58] <F7> i'm trying to install ubuntu desktop 6.06 but the installation dialog window is larger than 640x480 while i can't get any higher resolution. Anyone has a solution to this?

[03:59] <F7> hi FunkyDiscoMan
[03:59] <scholtz> narfmaster: not sure how to do that, cant find an amd kernel
[03:59] <FunkyDiscoMan> f7 hold alt and drag window about then set up after install
[03:59] <FunkyDiscoMan> simple as that
[03:59] <F7> ok thanks FunkyDiscoMan! :)
[03:59] <FunkyDiscoMan> :)
[03:59] <Tom7e> hi.  what is the difference between tar.gz and tar.bz2 files?
[03:59] <reiki> ok... dumb question time. I burned the 6.06 alternative image to CD. Is it bootable? I'm about to tear down this machine and want to make sure I have a bootable CD.
[04:00] <scholtz> how do i install the amd kernel from dapper i386
[04:00] <FunkyDiscoMan> Tom7e higher compresssion algorithm used in bz2
[04:00] <MrZaius> why?
[04:00] <MrZaius> hmm... wrong window
[04:00] <msarmet> Hello!
[04:00] <Ares> Ok, how do I add the repository universe into my apt-get or whatever, config?
[04:00] <Tom7e> FunkyDiscoMan:  why do source packages release both?
[04:01] <racefire_> Hey guys, I have a problem with ZSNES.
[04:01] <theeil> reiki: yes, it really should be
[04:01] <farky> anyone know why xchat, by default, starts in workspace 2?
[04:01] <FunkyDiscoMan> incase some people dont have bz2 installed , try installing it without ;)
[04:01] <racefire_> On my windows partition, I have ROMS and snapshots,
[04:01] <sid> How can I install xvidcap with ffmpeg encoding support on Ubuntu dapper? I want to make Ubuntu video guides with xvidcap, and have it be mpeg; istanbul boggs my system down too much. And I am not able to use it.  I installed a crapload a -dev packages. But it won't compile --> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/uOwMjy95.html
[04:01] <racefire_> for snes9x
[04:01] <reiki> theeil: ok thanks... worst case is I'll have to pull the hard drive and put it back into this box to bug you with more questions :)
[04:01] <sid> I don't want to use istanbul; as it sucks up too much cpu for the demos I want to do; and it lags the shit out of my machine. xvidcap would be much better, if I could get it installed.
[04:01] <racefire_> And I want to try to get those working under ZSNES Linux.
[04:02] <racefire_> I know I must be interrupting something, but I wanted to ask.
[04:02] <Tom7e> does the ubuntu kernel have hotplug?
[04:02] <tailsfan> racefire_ www.emulationrealm.net try finding another emu
[04:02] <farky> Tom7e: yes
[04:02] <Tom7e> thanks
[04:02] <msarmet> I'm having problems to install my wireless driver (IPN2220- LanExpress) in my notebook. I find the driver, but I got a "Illegal driver" message... can anyone help me?
[04:03] <theeil> reiki: if you have the latest version, it should also be a fully functional live cd
[04:03] <hunter> what kernel version is in the current ubuntu?
[04:03] <farky> msarmet: are you using ndiswrapper?
[04:03] <reiki> theeil: I didn't download the desktop CD. I downloaded the alternative one.
[04:03] <msarmet> Yes, I'm using ndiswrapper on Ubuntu 5.10
[04:04] <farky> msarmet: is the file you are using an .inf file?
[04:04] <theeil> reiki: ah, i have that for xubuntu but didn't know they have them for the main distro
[04:04] <msarmet> farky: Yes - neti2220.inf

[04:04] <rathe> is it possible for linux to slow down your internet connection
[04:05] <rathe> i feel like my internet is a bit slower download sense i switched
[04:05] <farky> msarmet: then maybe wrong driver and/or wrong driver for device
[04:05] <FunkyDiscoMan> rathe, how slow
[04:05] <racefire_> Thank you, tailsfan. I'll check.
[04:05] <FunkyDiscoMan> i had problems with  ipv6 dns
[04:05] <tailsfan> No Prob :)
[04:06] <msarmet> farky: do you have any idea where I can find it? I tried on Acer homepage and sereval forum pages, but I coudn't find it...
[04:06] <debian_> does anyone know if there's a command line equivalent for switching from one workspace to another
[04:06] <farky> msarmet: hold on ill find something
[04:06] <rathe> idk just seems slower
[04:06] <raptros-v76> Seveas: are you there?
[04:06] <msarmet> farky: thanks!!! I'm using one Acer TravelMate 2350
[04:07] <scholtz> anyone know how i cant install an amd64 kernel? is there a source?

[04:09] <sid> debian_: man chvt
[04:09] <FunkyDiscoMan> tailsfan theres a firefox extension, never used it tho
[04:10] <narfmaster> scholtz, you might have to do a clean install with an amd64 disc
[04:10] <narfmaster> can't seem to find other sources
[04:10] <tailsfan> What extension?
[04:10] <theeil> tailsfan: i use freeloader for bittorrent, but it also works for http, and there is always wget ;)
[04:10] <tailsfan> DownThemAll!
[04:11] <racefire_> Tails? The only reason I don't already use SNES9x Linux (now in 1.5) is that I can't get the frontends working....

[04:24] <a5an0> thanks again Discoman
[04:25] <a5an0> btw, the line I posted will allow for ntfs writing if you have FUSE
[04:25] <linopil> Gh3cko: there is a good reason
[04:25] <Gh3cko> huh?
[04:25] <FunkyDiscoMan> Gh3cko - would you like a free linux ref manual - "http://www.freetechbooks.com/about97.html"
[04:25] <Gh3cko> ty
[04:26] <linopil> while learning new system you better be protected even from your own wrong moves

[04:26] <linopil> sounds ok?
[04:26] <Gh3cko> ye but i dlded a photo on my pc.. and cant put it anywhere only on desktop
[04:27] <racefire_> there is no install file, but there is a readme
[04:27] <FunkyDiscoMan> its because you dont have permission to
[04:27] <a5an0> you probably cant write to / ecause u arnt root
[04:27] <racefire_> I guess I'll read it more carefully this time.
[04:27] <Gh3cko> i'm the only one on this pc.....
[04:27] <linopil> Gh3cko: also on tmp - temp folder
[04:27] <tailsfan> then read that, that is all I can say
[04:28] <racefire_> Thanks.
[04:28] <camolion> my X server exploded :(
[04:28] <rathe> is there games in apt get
[04:28] <rathe> ?
[04:28] <linopil> Gh3cko: you are the only one still your system has to be protected
[04:28] <narfmaster> rathe, yes
[04:28] <linopil> you are on the Net now remember
[04:28] <spades> Gh3cko you should be able to put it in your home folder, its best to keep / as is
[04:28] <rathe> whats the search command
[04:29] <Gh3cko> hmmz
[04:29] <Gh3cko> and wheres the home folder:P
[04:29] <narfmaster> rathe, just use Synaptic
[04:29] <Yan> how do u boot ubuntu in shell only no graphic interface ?
[04:29] <spades> Gh3cko ~  or /home/user
[04:29] <linopil> learn from links given l8r learn to carefully  <<< sudo >> commands
[04:29] <a5an0> home folder is usualy in /home/[user]
[04:29] <camolion> i updated to dapper and now when X loads, it gives me (EE) Failed to load module "kbd" and "mouse" errors :( (module does not exist)
[04:29] <a5an0> if you type `cd`
[04:29] <a5an0> youll go there
[04:29] <a5an0> or `cd ~/`
[04:29] <Gh3cko> ye .. found it D
[04:29] <linopil> in the beginning home dir is enough
[04:30] <a5an0> and then you can do `mkdir [name] ` to make new folders
[04:30] <farky> What's the best mp3 player you think for ubuntu?
[04:30] <camolion> amaroK
[04:30] <narfmaster> xmms
[04:30] <farky> i want something really simple, no bells and whistles
[04:30] <narfmaster> nothing simpler than xmms
[04:30] <job> xmms
[04:30] <johnnyX> can someone tell me why firefox will tell me certain sites are forbidden randomly?
[04:30] <farky> ok
[04:31] <farky> thanks you
[04:31] <johnnyX> like dogpile and google
[04:31] <Gh3cko> lino and that home dir .... if i put it there it takes space from ? right?
[04:31] <FunkyDiscoMan> Gh3cko - i posted a link for you earlier, if you want to use *nix then you should do a bit of reading
[04:31] <Gh3cko> or from swap?
[04:31] <linopil> videolan is best for having movie and sound formats ready
[04:31] <job> look at your preferences
[04:31] <linopil> www.videolan.org aka vlc
[04:31] <Nitefall> I just set up a dual boot with xp home/ubuntu. and I'm wondering since ubuntu didn't ask where to install grub, where it is.

[04:31] <johnnyX> and it will take me to different sites then what i typed in the url
[04:31] <narfmaster> johnnyX, you may have to chat with your admin if you are at work
[04:32] <FunkyDiscoMan> Nitefall MBR
[04:32] <johnnyX> i'm not
[04:32] <Gh3cko> ye then its ok....
[04:32] <camolion> any command to generate a xorg.conf file? when i upgraded, mine exploded :(
[04:32] <spades> Yan you can init 1 to go into single user mode, if you want this evertime, disabling g/k/xdm from startup would boot you into a console login
[04:32] <Nitefall> does it preserve the windows bootloader?
[04:32] <Gh3cko> ty guys
[04:32] <FunkyDiscoMan> no
[04:32] <Gh3cko> ahh btw can i play a game from the nfts partition on linux with wine?
[04:32] <Nitefall> bah, if I delete the ubuntu partitions at any time then I'll have to reformat and install xp again, then
[04:33] <johnnyX> i have google set as my homepage and it will tell me that its forbidden
[04:33] <Gh3cko> or i have to instal it on / to...
[04:33] <Yan> spades is there any ways to just kill the interface to work in shell? i tried ctrl-alt-backspace but it keeps loading back ;)
[04:33] <Nitefall> unless there's a way to avoid that
[04:33] <FunkyDiscoMan> camolion hold ill get you cmd
[04:33] <johnnyX> or i'll try to go to wikipedia and it takes me to bbc news
[04:33] <camolion> thanks
[04:33] <johnnyX> or it just wont load at all
[04:33] <johnnyX> things like that
[04:33] <johnnyX> i've reinstalled it twice
[04:33] <spades> Yan just do an /etc/init.d/gdm stop or ctrl+alt+f1 to get into virtual terminal
[04:33] <Yan> thx u :)
[04:33] <FunkyDiscoMan> camolion - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[04:35] <Nitefall> I didn't get an xp cd though, just a restore disc that formats completely and reinstalls xp
[04:35] <narfmaster> johnnyX, it sounds like your ISP's DNS is messed up
[04:35] <tailsfan> en.wikipedia.org actually
[04:35] <jupiter_> boa noite
[04:35] <dli> johnnyX, you mentioned going to wikipedia?
[04:35] <johnnyX> its not my isp

[04:36] <Nitefall> -_-
[04:36] <johnnyX> thats not what i asked dli
[04:36] <dli> johnnyX, where are you? which country?
[04:36] <xnull-> just installed mysqld(how do I let other ppl. to connect? from outside)? shoud I enable something ? thanks
[04:36] <johnnyX> u.s
[04:36] <dli> johnnyX, okay then, I know wikipedia is blocked by China
[04:36] <narfmaster> johnnyX, try slashdot.org
[04:37] <FunkyDiscoMan> K you could still use grub to boot windows from ntfs partition prob a pain in the ass to setup
[04:37] <farky> Is there a way to have xmms not show up in the windows list?
[04:37] <dli> johnnyX, since you are in u.s., it's not blocked, try IP: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:37] <maurycy> anyone know how to find a thinkpad product number, when the label is removed?
[04:37] <dli> johnnyX, that's one IP of www.wikipedia.org
[04:38] <maurycy> anyone know how to find a thinkpad product number, when the label is removed?
[04:38] <johnnyX> i dont need to go to wikipedia i just mentioned that when i try to go to sites it will take me to other ones i was just using it as a for instance
[04:38] <Nitefall> hm
[04:38] <camolion> when i start X server, it gives me a cant find kbd and mouse error with the default xorg.conf file
[04:38] <johnnyX> and that it will tell me google and dogpile are forbidden
[04:38] <FunkyDiscoMan> Nitefall - borrow someones cd, start setup del unix partitions then quit install, it will reset to win bootloader. but dont leave us
[04:39] <tailsfan> Is there another program like PeerGuardian for Linux?
[04:39] <dli> johnnyX, what I was trying to help is to locate the problem
[04:39] <Nitefall> I switched to Ubuntu because SuSE linux was horrible
[04:39] <Nitefall> I don't have any intention of deleting Ubuntu right now
[04:39] <FunkyDiscoMan> good good
[04:39] <Nitefall> would an old cd, say a windows 98 work?
[04:39] <FunkyDiscoMan> na
[04:40] <johnnyX> i can get to wikipedia fine
[04:40] <johnnyX> but sometimes it does this run around thing
[04:40] <firebird619> I am trying to set up dial-up Internet on Dapper. I have compiled my modem drivers and it is autodetected in Networking, and I can connect to the Internet, but I cannot go to any Web sites, I get the Server Not Found page in Firefox. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?
[04:40] <Phoul> Is there anyway to revert back to your original xmodmap?
[04:40] <johnnyX> not just wikipedia all sites
[04:40] <tailsfan> alsa-project gives me probs
[04:40] <dli> firebird619, no DNS?
[04:41] <dli> firebird619, can you go to web by IP?
[04:41] <firebird619> dli: No
[04:41] <dli> firebird619, can you ping?
[04:41] <FunkyDiscoMan> JohnnyX - sounds like prob with dns servers in alias file
[04:41] <rathe> i just installed somethen from synaptic but it dident tell me where the game went
[04:41] <rathe> its suppose to be a 2d rpg
[04:41] <dli> firebird619, to test, sudo route -n
[04:42] <dli> firebird619, do you have a reasonable route table?
[04:42] <delmar> Hi everyone. I'm having some major issues getting a system to boot up.  Dapper alternative CD - server install ...  Installs fine, but when it reboots I'm getting stuff like .. IOP0: device already claimed, IOP0: DMA/IO allocation for I2O controller failed.  ALERT: /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell.  The same issues reported here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183870 and here http://www.ubuntuforums.or
[04:42] <delmar> g/showthread.php?t=189110 .  The system has an Adaptec 2110S raid card.   The install CD seems to use the same kernel as the target install, so surely this is a userspace/Dapper issue rather than kernel but who knows... Does anyone have any ideas or things I could look at or try to get this thing to work?
[04:42] <Nitefall> bleh
[04:42] <firebird619> dli, no, I can't do anything, but yet I know I am connected because when I pick up the phone while connected I hear the handshake. Also, I have the Modem and Network Monitors on the panel and the Network Monitor becomes active, but the Modem Monitor shows Not Connected.
[04:42] <Nitefall> gaim doesn't handle IRC well
[04:43] <FunkyDiscoMan> Nitefall - what irc client u using?
[04:43] <Nitefall> I'm IRCing with Gaim
[04:43] <FunkyDiscoMan> try Xchat
[04:43] <dli> delmar, a n00b way, boot livecd (which drives up your raid), and do lsmod there, make the module list, and make sure they are in your /etc/modules
[04:43] <tailsfan> Yeah, that is what I'm using right now
[04:44] <Nitefall> I downloaded the xchat rpm and ubuntu said "package type not supported"
[04:44] <delmar> dli, so you are thinking its a missing module?
[04:44] <dli> firebird619, stop pppd, try wvdial
[04:44] <Nitefall> on xchat's site it appears it only supports fedora and windows
[04:44] <dli> delmar, very much likely
[04:44] <FunkyDiscoMan> Nitefall - rpm is for redhat based systems
[04:44] <FunkyDiscoMan> Nitefall - use apt-get
[04:44] <firebird619> dli: I can't tried sudo route -n yet because I am on the Internet on another computer right now. I tried wvdial, it always says connected and then it says carrier signal lost.
[04:45] <delmar> dli, perhaps a module loading ahead of a needed one... hence .. device already claimed? thats the "jist" I am getting from some forums stuff
[04:45] <dli> firebird619, did you try StupidMode with wvdial? it works for many
[04:45] <delmar> dli, but im not familiar with all this udev crap to know what I'm supposed to add/change
[04:45] <distant_> i have a slave hdd i want to install a separate OS on inorder to set it up for an alternative box. do i format it as ext2 or ext3?
[04:45] <firebird619> dli: how do I get to StupidMode with wvdial
[04:45] <narfmaster> distant_, ext3
[04:46] <distant_> thx
[04:46] <Trae> hmmm
[04:46] <dli> delmar, I would build the kernel myself, in livecd, do lsmod, and build the kernel based on the list
[04:46] <dli> firebird619, in your /etc/wvdial.conf
[04:46] <Trae> Buffer I/O error on device hda5 logical block
[04:46] <delmar> dli, i could do I guess
[04:46] <dli> Trae, bad sign, time to backup
[04:47] <Trae> dli, I'm running the live cd
[04:47] <Trae> heh
[04:47] <Trae> it's trying to boot
[04:47] <firebird619> dli: Do you mean entering the phone, user name, password etc. or is there something else I add to that file to get to StupidMode?
[04:47] <dli> delmar, also get the newest kernel from kernel.org, if your controller is a new one
[04:47] <Trae> hmm
[04:47] <delmar> dli, hell no. its ancient.
[04:48] <dli> firebird619, no, you first try wvdialconf to generate a wvdial.conf, then, you edit it, you can " man wvdial.conf "
[04:48] <delmar> dli, but im seeing forum posts about a few people with Adaptec cards having this issue.. but nothing that applied to Dapper to fix the problem.. but it has given me a few ideas.
[04:48] <dli> delmar, then, just build your kernel
[04:48] <delmar> dli, i think its a module load issue... order.. or lacking module as you say.
[04:48] <dli> delmar, make sure you build in the drivers
[04:48] <firebird619> dli: wvdialconf did not generate one, it couldn't find the modem. I edited wvdial.conf myself and entered the info myself.
[04:49] <delmar> di, im quite familiar with building kernels. i might give that a try after I play with other things.
[04:49] <dli> firebird619, you can make a link to /dev/modem
[04:49] <tailsfan> How do you use wvdial
[04:49] <dli> tailsfan, sudo wvdialconf
[04:50] <xnull-> just installed mysqld(how do I let other ppl. to connect? from outside)? shoud I enable something ?
[04:50] <tailsfan> thanks
[04:50] <tailsfan> but I installing something with terminal right now
[04:50] <dli> tailsfan, then, you edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf to specify username, passwd, phone number
[04:50] <firebird619> dli: I have already done that, it was part of the steps of installing the modem. It is an Intel 537EP Internal Modem. It worked great on Breezy, no problems at all.
[04:50] <tailsfan> It's called kdelibs4c2a
[04:50] <distant_> is there any way to install another os on the separate hdd?
[04:51] <dli> firebird619, I remember wvdial seeks /dev/modem
[04:51] <delmar> dli, i want to play with whatever the tidy way is.. to modify the load order or loading of modules....
[04:51] <delmar> dli, so whats all this udev crap about.. lol
[04:51] <dli> delmar, build the kernel is more elegant
[04:52] <delmar> dli, i used to think this way but u are wrong
[04:52] <delmar> dli, for this server.. perhaps yes
[04:52] <firebird619> dli: It didn't find the modem though, but System => Administration => Networking autodetected the modem after I compiled and installed the drivers.
[04:52] <tailsfan> then do that command again dli?
[04:52] <delmar> dli, but i don't build kernels like that anymore. far easier to use the packaged kernels for ubuntu
[04:52] <dli> tailsfan, for what?
[04:52] <Nitefall> how do I access bootloader settings in Ubuntu?
[04:53] <dli> Nitefall, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:53] <dli> Nitefall, mostly, you needs only, " sudo update-grub "
[04:53] <tailsfan> for after you configure wvdial?
[04:54] <dli> tailsfan, sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf ; vi /etc/wvdial.conf
[04:54] <rathe> someone play atlantic with me
[04:54] <rathe> :d
[04:55] <camolion> wacom is a tablet right? why does it think i have a tablet?!??
[04:55] <dli> tailsfan, you need a working modem, of course :)
[04:56] <tailsfan> I have one
[04:56] <tailsfan> I'm just sick of disconnecting
[04:56] <Phoul> How do i revert to my defualt xmodmap settings?
[04:56] <tailsfan> it disconnecting automatically
[04:57] <gratuit> hey, I just bought a PDA, and I'm having trouble finding documentation on getting it to work in ubuntu, anyone lnow of anywhere I should be looking to get it to work?
[04:57] <linuxlearner> is there a file tree in ubuntu?
[04:57] <dli> tailsfan, then, give wvdial a try, it's usually better than the gnome default pppd
[04:57] <linuxlearner> like explorer in winer
[04:58] <dli> linuxboy, nautilus
[04:58] <narfmaster> linuxlearner, there is a "Tree" mode for the side panel
[04:58] <dli> linuxlearner, the desktop folders :)
[04:58] <kolaje> my usb device is not automaticall mounting like normal, how do i maybe scan for the devices, or mount it manually?
[04:59] <dli> kolaje, plugin, dmesg|tail
[04:59] <kolaje> thanks
[04:59] <dli> kolaje, and do something like, pmount /dev/sda1
[04:59] <camolion> my xorg cant find nv, what other drivers are there until i can get that set up?
[04:59] <tailsfan> Are there any programs that Ubuntu can use that recognize Webcams
[05:00] <narfmaster> camolion, did you try vesa?
[05:00] <dr_willis> camolion,  thats odd..
[05:00] <gratuit> does ubuntu use udev by default?
[05:00] <gratuit> dapper that is
[05:00] <linuxlearner> can i not drag and drop my folders into the themes folder from my desktop
[05:00] <camolion> my xorg.conf is having a ton of errors, i upgraded to dapper by switching the sources list to say dapper
[05:00] <narfmaster> linuxlearner, i don't see why not
[05:01] <camolion> really frustrating, i wish it was happening on a day when i wasnt feeling completely depressed and not feeling like dealing with this >_<
[05:01] <camolion> neither vesa or nv exist now o.o
[05:02] <narfmaster> camolion, it may be time to reinstall :p
[05:02] <dr_willis> sounds to me like all of X dident get installed/updated right
[05:02] <linuxlearner> funny thing is i cannot find ~/.themes
[05:02] <FunkyDiscoMan> camolion see if modules loaded "lsmod | grep nv"
[05:02] <narfmaster> linuxlearner, press Ctrl+H
[05:02] <camolion> i already tried that 2 times, and i dont have a CD burner right now to make a new versions CD
[05:02] <tailsfan> linux, you have to start the themes manager and it will create the folder
[05:03] <narfmaster> linuxlearner, you can make the folder yourself if need be
[05:03] <narfmaster> and make a ~/.fonts folder too
[05:04] <camolion> i need a hug
[05:04] <ssuehr> i need teh intarweb
[05:04] <camolion> trade?
[05:04] <ssuehr> heh

[05:06] <newbuntu>  can anyone help me with somewhat off-topic question? I have a linux qtopia-based han-held called Archos PMA 430m, its power adapter has a 3.7 voltage..and I lost it ! I have a multi adapter that does 3 and  4.5.. question is..is it safe to use either of these in your opinion?
[05:06] <narfmaster> rathe, i think you can safely ignore that
[05:06] <newbuntu> i love apollon , but im not sure about your question
[05:06] <linuxlearner> ctrl+h doesn't do anything for me, how do I create the themes and font folders
[05:07] <spades> linuxlearner open a terminal and mkdir .fonts
[05:07] <keleus> whats a quick way to find the full path of a binary launched from $PATH?
[05:07] <FunkyDiscoMan> camolion try  "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" then  "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" then "sudo init 6"
[05:07] <tailsfan> Is there anyway?
[05:08] <dr_willis> Moo?
[05:09] <dr_willis> keleus,  'which binaryname'
[05:09] <camolion> k, trying that
[05:09] <kuzmaster> hello all
[05:09] <narfmaster> which -a filename
[05:09] <camolion> the init 6 is rebooting o.o
[05:10] <FunkyDiscoMan> yup
[05:10] <keleus> chmod ug+s will make a binary run as a paticular user (the user/group of the file) rather than whoever ran the binary, right?
[05:11] <camolion> that cant be good.. i cant even see the command line
[05:11] <FunkyDiscoMan> arrrgh - really!!!!!!!!!

[05:20] <FunkyDiscoMan> dr_willis - try gstreamer-properties make sure youve got the right outpt set
[05:20] <pozdiy> dr_willis, could be :-)
[05:20] <linuxlearner> man this is a pain
[05:20] <dr_willis> pozdiy,  i had a whole (on wait a FRIEND had a whole bunch) that wouldent play at all.. trying them under WMP10 - wanted to go to some Russian site for the codecs...

[05:21] <dreamcatcher5172> happy friday everyone
[05:22] <dr_willis> pozdiy,  i advise "friends" to not even mess with downloading torrents/other videos in wmv format.
[05:22] <pozdiy> dr_willis, oic, got it through gtk-gnutella
[05:22] <narfmaster> you should only download mp4s and ogms
[05:22] <QMario> Bye everyone!!! :)

[05:22] <linuxlearner> how can i move these folders into there theme folders in terminal cause i'm an idiot on this bad gui
[05:23] <dr_willis> Bad guy? :)
[05:23] <hcjc92> i asked this yesterday (and forgot) what do i need to get to run startx i got xserver-xorg fluxbox and xdm...
[05:23] <dr_willis> hcjc92,  you mean what to you need to 'apt-get install' ?
[05:23] <hcjc92> yeah
[05:24] <hcjc92> i htought it was xserver-xorg
[05:24] <hcjc92> but that wasn't it
[05:24] <dr_willis> ya could just apt-get install fluxbox and it 'should' get all the needed packages as well
[05:24] <narfmaster> hcjc92, i don't think xdm and startx mix well
[05:25] <dr_willis> xdm reads the .xinitrc i thought.
[05:25] <pozdiy> did fluxbox ever get gui configurator, or one still has to deal with conf files?
[05:25] <dr_willis> or you can not use xdm and use startx
[05:25] <wsjunior> which option should i add to my fstab to get icons of my mounted partitions at the desktop?

[05:27] <wsjunior> narfmaster: user or users?
[05:27] <narfmaster> i'm pretty sure it's "user"
[05:27] <hcjc92_> stupid naim not closing! (and acctually it turns out i hadn't gotten xdm (though i remember say apt-get install xdm))
[05:28] <hareem> any one know any lockdown apps for ubuntu
[05:28] <narfmaster> hcjc92_ i don't think xdm is in the Ubuntu repos
[05:28] <hcjc92_> i know :)
[05:28] <hcjc92_> but i got it
[05:28] <wsjunior> narfmaster: it doesnt worked :(
[05:28] <wsjunior> narfmaster: what more should i do?
[05:29] <hcjc92_> now i have to put unionfs and squashfs in my kernel x_X
[05:29] <jumbers> I wish I had an Eft :(
[05:29] <narfmaster> wsjunior, it should be something like "noauto,user" instead of "defaults"
[05:29] <wsjunior> narfmaster: hum.. let me try..
[05:29] <hcjc92_> 2.6.16 is the latest kernel right?
[05:29] <jumbers> 2.6.17
[05:30] <hcjc92_> gag
[05:30] <jumbers> well, <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:30] <jumbers> Do you mean Ubuntu kernel? Or Kernel.org kernel?
[05:30] <wsjunior> narfmaster: still doesnt work. i can mount it normally but i cant see the icon at the desktop.
[05:30] <narfmaster> wsjunior, it might be a nautilus setting

[05:34] <wsjunior> narfmaster: what i want to mount is in /mnt is it right? because when i plug an usb device it is mounted in /media...
[05:34] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> rodrigo: what u need?
[05:34] <narfmaster> wsjunior, it doesn't really matter where you mount it

[05:37] <mebsd> read the man page
[05:37] <agamotto> tar isn't working... in what manner?  No output, an error message?
[05:37] <J_P> hey, I ompile my new kernel using kernel-package, and create one kernel.deb, I install that kernel using dpkg -i new_kernel.deb, but in grub not create initrd, so how I create new initrd.img for my my new kernel ?

[05:43] <grubchub> doh, is sysinfo not avaiable through apt?
[05:44] <hcjc92_> gack Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.17 meh!
[05:44] <HBuzacott> wsjunior, you can just drag the icon out of '' computer onto your desktop
[05:44] <narfmaster> grubchub, it's in universe
[05:44] <wsjunior> which option should i add to my fstab to get icons of my mounted partitions at the desktop? its an ext3 partition. i can mount and use it but i would like to have that icon at the desktop as when i insert a cdrom or pendrive
[05:45] <HBuzacott> wsjunior, add the option user, which will make the partition user mountable/unmountable, and GNOME will add it to the desktop
[05:46] <narfmaster> hmm, that sounds familiar
[05:46] <wsjunior> hehe
[05:46] <wsjunior> i did it.
[05:46] <wsjunior> but it doesnt work.
[05:47] <wsjunior> im able to mount and use the partition
[05:47] <wsjunior> but i would like to have the damn icon at the desktop
[05:47] <wsjunior> it used to work with the older ubuntu..
[05:47] <keleus> can i set a users home to /dev/null?
[05:48] <wastrel> keleus:  i suppose.  why do you want to do that?
[05:48] <wastrel> keleus:  i think traditionally the user's shell is set to /bin/false if you want to disable their ability to login
[05:48] <narfmaster> or lock their password
[05:49] <keleus> .. nevermind i forgot something: the reason i made that user is no longer applicable...
[05:49] <keleus> i can just remove it :)

[05:50] <keane071> any ideas?

[05:52] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> what is the command to specify which jave to use as default?

[05:54] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> narfmaster: ty
[05:54] <narfmaster> no problem, VieLGuS-KuTaS (i think that's the one)
[05:55] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> narfmaster: yup , but not sure how to specify it ,which executable for java?
[05:55] <aloysis> Hello, has anyone gotten nagios working on Dapper?
[05:56] <narfmaster> VieLGuS-KuTaS, use the -l to list and -s name to set
[05:57] <scholtz> VieLGuS-KuTaS: says my gpus arent support
[05:57] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> scholtz:  what video card u have ?
[05:57] <scholtz> asus nvidia 7600gs
[05:57] <kizzume> I got sound working before, it's ice1712, and I got help putting it in the etc modules file so it would be there when I restarted, but it didn't take, and now I can't remember how to get it going again...
[05:57] <scholtz> both sli
[05:57] <azriel_> has anyone here had any success with onboard surround using the nvidia nforce drivers?
[05:59] <narfmaster> hareem, i think you want "gnome-screensaver-command --lock"
[05:59] <eigenlambda> so firefox was randomly crashing.  it being the most memory-intensive program on my computer, i suspected the memory.  sure enough, one of the bits in the word at 11C9452C was failing one of the tests
[05:59] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> scholtz: im pretty sure its supported . just install the nvidia driver
[06:00] <eigenlambda> ...so i hear the way to resolve this issue is to add badram=11C9452C to my kernel command line?
[06:00] <kizzume> I put snd-ice1712 as an entry in modules--there was a carriage return afterwards, maybe that messed it up.  I'll try restarting my computer again and see if it took...
[06:00] <eigenlambda> but i need badram support first?
[06:00] <eigenlambda> so i go all 'apt-cache search badram'
[06:00] <eigenlambda> and find nothing
[06:00] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> scholtz: dont use sli , use only one card for linux
[06:01] <narfmaster> eigenlambda, it's probably one of those things you have to recompile the kernel for
[06:01] <eigenlambda> ya, thats what i gather...
[06:01] <eigenlambda> theres a package for badram for warty, but not dapper
[06:01] <grubchub> yay!
[06:01] <grubchub> ssh is working
[06:03] <grubchub> can you specifiy a domain within let's say a putty termial that points to your home IP (if it's dynamic and if the appropriate ports are forwarded?)
[06:03] <grubchub> to ssh to your box?
[06:03] <grubchub> so I don't have to remember my ip?
[06:03] <grubchub> or hope it doesn't change ;)
[06:03] <sean_> Hey all
[06:03] <hcjc92_> gack! apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17 does get found....
[06:03] <narfmaster> heh
[06:03] <wastrel> grubchub:  try adding it to /etc/hosts
[06:04] <wastrel> grubchub:  or the windows equivalent which i belive is something like C:\windows\hosts
[06:04] <sean_> Can somone help me out with making a sim link to Jedit (java program)?
[06:04] <wastrel> grubchub:  or just make a profile in putty
[06:05] <grubchub> okie doke, i was just woundering if that was a valid method for connectnig through SSH
[06:05] <grubchub> or if you HAVE to have an IP
[06:05] <tehgooch> argh this broadcom wireless is going to kill me
[06:05] <grubchub> I guess I could always just ping the dyndns IP
[06:05] <grubchub> er
[06:05] <grubchub> domain
[06:05] <eigenlambda> why isn't badram in the vanilla kernel?  it seems like a simple, non-performance-impactful patch...
[06:05] <scholtz> VieLGuS-KuTaS: ok but the driver in the dapper release doesnt support my card
[06:05] <grubchub> and get the IP that way
[06:05] <kizzume> Well, I tried taking the carriage return out, but that didn't help.  What more would I need in the /etc/modules file besides "snd-ice1712" to get my sound working?
[06:05] <scholtz> VieLGuS-KuTaS: im downloading one from the site
[06:05] <wastrel> grubchub:  if you have a dyndns domain why can't you put that into putty
[06:05] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> scholtz: i know , thats why u need to install the nvidia driver
[06:05] <grubchub> oh I wasn't sure if I could or couldn't
[06:05] <tkup> is there anything similar to tripwire?
[06:06] <grubchub> haven't had the chance to set it up yet :p
[06:06] <narfmaster> eigenlambda, i think once part of your RAM is going bad it won't be too long before it all goes bad
[06:06] <tehgooch> i just got a lenovo 3000 c100 laptop, put ubuntu on it right away without grabbing the wireless drivers off it beforehand :(
[06:06] <grubchub> sorry, just being laaazzzy thought I'd ask first ;)
[06:06] <tehgooch> i hope you all don't mind me whining ;)
[06:06] <eigenlambda> this is defective, but i can't return it 'cause i don't have the original packaging
[06:07] <eigenlambda> mmm.  ubuntu uses 2.6.15; there is no badram patch for this kernel.
[06:08] <scholtz> whats the release after dapper?
[06:09] <narfmaster> breezy if you go backwards in time
[06:09] <madhat> edgy eft right?
[06:09] <tehgooch> oKtosiTe, so I am downloading the broadcom drivers for my laptop right now, and I should be able to extract the broadcom drivers for use in dapper from the EXE right?

[06:11] <kizzume> I need help with my delta66 card.  I remember that the command to get it working involves snd-ice1712, but that's all I can remember.
[06:12] <Mez> kizzume - probable sudo modprobe snd-icw1712
[06:13] <narfmaster> lsmod | grep ice1712
[06:14] <kizzume> Mez:  Trying that--checking to see if that worked..
[06:14] <grubchub> yay!
[06:14] <grubchub> it worked
[06:14] <grubchub> now I should probably find a better subdomain name...
[06:15] <kizzume> Mez:  nope--that didn't do it.  It had a pipe | symbol in it...
[06:15] <Mez> kizzume ?
[06:15] <Mez> kizzume - pastebin the output of lsmod | grep snd-ice
[06:15] <kizzume> Mez:  that seems more like it.. let me check that...
[06:16] <grubchub> installing uvc woot woot!
[06:16] <Mez> (kizzume - thats just to see if the module is loaded)
[06:16] <kizzume> Mez:  Nothing came up.
[06:17] <kizzume> Mez:  but I remember the command having grep and | in it....
[06:17] <grubchub> actually i better not
[06:17] <grubchub> better keep this system clean
[06:17] <Mez> kizzume, probably not to make it work
[06:17] <grubchub> since it's soooo ooooold

[06:35] <Aven> that's what it says
[06:35] <farky> Anyone use Qemu?
[06:35] <narfmaster> i've used qemu and vmware
[06:35] <CrazyDoode> iKernel: type echo $PATH to see your path
[06:35] <hcjc92_> anyone ever used unionfs (please someone) (i guess i should learn more before trying to add unionfs to my kernel, but blah)
[06:36] <erpo> If I want to build my own kernel, how do I create an initramfs so I still get the ubuntu graphical boot screen?
[06:36] <iKernel> CrazyDoode, Ah, so we have to add it to the PATH variable eh? Alright, I'll try that.
[06:36] <farky> narfmaster: i just installed it, but do you know how to make the Qemu window non-transparent; by default it is transparent
[06:36] <winman> iKernel, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

[06:46] <erpo> Tachyon: Try reinstalling dapper. That will fix grub. Your windows system should still be there.
[06:46] <narfmaster> newegg is good IMHO
[06:46] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> erpo: i already installed java, but u still need to tell the system which java client to use by default
[06:46] <wsjunior> is anybody here running ati drivers with xorg 7?
[06:47] <erpo> VieLGuS-KuTaS: Do you want to use the firefox plugin for java, or did you get it for some other reason?
[06:47] <Kibbled_bits> non-profit idea: take in/collect unused PCs then refurbish or rebuild with Ubuntu on them
[06:47] <dli> Fab_10, the hw page from fsf: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/
[06:47] <jojoman02> i keep getting a segfault when starts gdmsetup
[06:47] <Tachyon> erpo: Yes, it is; all the files are intact.  Unfortunately, my computer overheats during install.  I know it's a hardware problem, and I'm probably crazy to hope that Dapper will perform better. :/
[06:47] <Kibbled_bits> then distribute them to poor, single mothers, elderly etc
[06:47] <Tachyon> Maybe I'll just have to wait until the entire machine cools down in a few hours?
[06:47] <dli> Fab_10, my way is to get the newest stable kernel, make menuconfig
[06:47] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> erpo: azureus
[06:47] <erpo> Tachyon: Toshiba, you say?
[06:47] <Tachyon> Yes
[06:47] <Kibbled_bits> or even private schools with not much money or day cares
[06:47] <Tachyon> The evil A70 variety
[06:47] <Fab_10> And usually everything is fully supported by then ?
[06:47] <Kibbled_bits> each would be a project though and analyzed
[06:48] <narfmaster> Kibbled_bits, there are some schools that are already doing that
[06:48] <erpo> Tachyon: Go into your bios and change your cpu frequency from "dynamic" to "always low". That might solve the overeating problem long enough to install.
[06:48] <erpo> *overheating
[06:48] <Kibbled_bits> yes we need a single non-profit to do this
[06:48] <Fab_10> dli: Oh wow that looks like just what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.
[06:48] <Kibbled_bits> sort of aggregate the work
[06:49] <erpo> Kibbled_bits: Well, get to it.
[06:49] <narfmaster> heh
[06:50] <Kibbled_bits> frankly most schools or people who would need a PC aren't knowledgeable enough to know that there's still value in an 800mhz computer and that they're being thrown away in wholesale
[06:50] <jojoman02> can anyone help, i get segfault when starting gmdsetup, where is gdmsetup skin folder located?
[06:50] <Tachyon> erpo: Did I mention it was a Celeron? :/  No frequency scaling.  I don't have that option in my bios.
[06:50] <erpo> Tachyon: Celeron M?
[06:50] <Edgtho> I've a question ._.
[06:50] <Tachyon> erpo: No clue.
[06:50] <theapoc> Anyone know of a good alarm app?
[06:50] <dli> jojoman02, /etc/X11/gdm/ gdm.conf or custom.conf
[06:50] <Edgtho> If I'm going to have ubuntu and XP on the same computer, which would I install first?
[06:50] <erpo> theapoc: cron+mpg123
[06:50] <Kibbled_bits> did you search the universe?
[06:51] <poje> Okay, so I put dapper on a friend's laptop and the buttons in Gnome have funny dots in a grid over them until they are moused over, when they become normal
[06:51] <poje> Any idea what's going on?
[06:51] <dli> Edgtho, windows, then, ubuntu, because ubuntu knows howto deal with windows
[06:51] <Edgtho> Thanks a bunch =3
[06:51] <narfmaster> theapoc, xmms-alarm is nice
[06:52] <xnull-> hmm any ideea why my ubuntu it's not working?( everything looks ok gdm start I type my user/password and after that he is loading and staying there) no err. no nothing just a brown colour .
[06:52] <xnull-> starts*
[06:52] <theapoc> narfmaster, yeah I tried it, but I was looking for an alternative
[06:53] <J_P> CrazyDoode: ok, so how I create the initrd after install the new kernel ?
[06:53] <Shizboom> poje - switch theme
[06:53] <qwzybug> hey party people!
[06:53] <Shizboom> poje - that should fix it
[06:53] <dli> xnull-, a n00b way, in console ( Ctl-Alt-F1 ), stop gdm ( sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ), rm -rf ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* , restart gdm
[06:53] <qwzybug> ubuntu rocks. I still like OSX better, but it genuinely rocks.
[06:53] <poje> Shizboom - awesome, I'll try that; thanks a lot :)
[06:54] <qwzybug> question: is there any way to get my Airport card working in Ubuntu yet? I heard a rumor that that's not in the cards until the next release in October
[06:54] <Shizboom> ati vid card right poje?
[06:54] <qwzybug> or would I have to recompile the kernel to get airport working?
[06:54] <poje> Shizboom - yeah, some sort of ATI mobile
[06:54] <Shizboom> kk
[06:54] <poje> qwzybug - I _heard_ airport support was in dapper by default, but I'm not sure
[06:55] <Shizboom> anything but human should work for a good theme with no button coruption
[06:55] <dli> xnull-, if that doesn't solve the problem, remove all gnome and reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[06:55] <poje> Shizboom - excellent, thanks :D
[06:55] <J-_> where are temp files stored at?
[06:55] <Shizboom> np
[06:56] <narfmaster> J-_, /tmp
[06:56] <J-_> thanks
[06:56] <J-_> it's alright to delete everything in there?
[06:56] <narfmaster> yep
[06:56] <J-_> excellent.
[06:59] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> how do i use the update-java-alternatives ?  i know where i installed jre but dont know how to make it default ,
[07:00] <HackerX2> ** Hey, What is everyone using for torrent. I can no longer stand Ktorrent It just doesnt work well. the main problem is the upload speed limiter doesnt work so it bogs my net way down. So i would like yout guys opion on torrent apps, Thanks**
[07:00] <qwzybug> poje: I couldn't get it working... there was an entry in the network options box for a wireless adapter, and it said it was active, but I couldn't figure out how to get actual internets working....
[07:00] <qwzybug> aaanyway, I gots to go
[07:00] <qwzybug> see you ubuntuers tomorrow
[07:00] <qwzybug> byee
[07:00] <narfmaster> HackerX2, i'm using utorrent
[07:01] <hate-> anyone: mounted ntfs but cant access as user, no permission?
[07:01] <dli> hate-, add uid= option
[07:02] <dli> hate-, example, mount -n -oremount,ro,uid=dli /dev/hda1
[07:02] <Shizboom> you cant write to ntfs without some other special programs installed i dont think
[07:02] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell hate- about ntfs
[07:02] <HackerX2> narfmaster, I love utorrent thats all i ever run i have it on all my $Windoze$ boxs but i dont belive theres a linux install i thought there was but i didnt see it on there site maybe i missed something?
[07:02] <Shizboom> !ntfs
[07:02] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[07:02] <narfmaster> HackerX2, i use it with Wine
[07:02] <HackerX2> really
[07:03] <HackerX2> no problems at all?
[07:03] <narfmaster> yep, works fine with 0.9.12 or newer
[07:03] <zubeen> how do i disable ipv6
[07:03] <HackerX2> wow
[07:03] <HackerX2> sweet
[07:03] <HackerX2> soo
[07:03] <camolion> i need help getting an exclude command on tar to work right, the man page says [  --exclude  FILE  ] , so would --exclude /proc/ be right to exclude /proc/ from a tar operation?
[07:03] <HackerX2> i can just download it normal cuz i have wine already
[07:03] <hate-> used that script, got it mounted but cant access it as user, only as root..
[07:03] <kizzume> test
[07:03] <HackerX2> will it run on its own?
[07:03] <HackerX2> or do i have to use the terminal
[07:03] <narfmaster> HackerX2, really it should work fine :)
[07:04] <HackerX2> Thats sweet
[07:04] <HackerX2> Alrigth thanks i guess that never really crossed my mind
[07:05] <HackerX2> narfmaster, one last thing did you get the install or did you run the standalone?
[07:05] <narfmaster> standalone
[07:05] <HackerX2> Alright thanks
[07:05] <narfmaster> no problem
[07:08] <shen> I'm running 6.06 on a g4 ibook. If I boot up with my usb mouse installed it isn't found or powered on (the lazer isn't running). When I unplug it and plug it back in it works fine. How can I get it going from boot time without unplugging it?
[07:08] <HackerX2> Ok some how i managed to get a locked folder on my desktop how do i get rid of it???
[07:09] <narfmaster> HackerX2, just change the permissions to read/write
[07:11] <Madpilot> HackerX2, right-click on it, choose Properties, and check the Permissions tab
[07:12] <distantmsx> From terminal, how can i open a file in my cdrom bay?
[07:12] <HackerX2> ok the problem its lock under root and im root but i think in to use sudo in the terminal what the command?
[07:13] <narfmaster> sudo chmod +w
[07:13] <dli> distantmsx, be specific
[07:13] <Shizboom> distantmsx - gksudo nautilus
[07:13] <Shizboom> that will bring up nautilus with under root
[07:13] <Shizboom> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/permissions.php
[07:14] <Zob> How does one explore the c:\ with wine..
[07:14] <distantmsx> prob is my bro's box has a geforce w/o linux supported drivers - so i burned the one he needed on cdrom, he has ubuntu its boots upto command line
[07:14] <hareem> can ubuntu be used in a cyber cafe
[07:14] <narfmaster> Zob, go to ~/.wine/drive_c/
[07:15] <Zob> thanks
[07:15] <narfmaster> hareem, i think so
[07:16] <Shizboom> what exactly are the big differences between kde and gnome?
[07:16] <erpo> hareem: You mean wireless.
[07:16] <hareem> both wired and wireless
[07:17] <narfmaster> Shizboom, KDE uses Qt and Gnome uses itself and GTK
[07:17] <erpo> hareem: Both.
[07:17] <erpo> hareem: Getting wired networks to work is a moderate main.
[07:17] <erpo> *parin
[07:17] <erpo> hareem: Getting wireless networks to work is a major hassle. However, there's a package called networkmanager that makes some things a lot easier.
[07:17] <hareem> well which is more likely to be done
[07:18] <erpo> hareem: Cybercafes are more likely to provide you with a computer while you're there. However, if they don't, your only option may be wireless.
[07:18] <Zob> is there a .deb file for wintools? If so, can I get a link?
[07:18] <narfmaster> a good cybercafe would just be a server and a wireless router
[07:18] <narfmaster> Zob, use winecfg
[07:19] <xnull-> how do I update kernel to 2.6.17 ? (any chance) ? i want ubuntu packages not recompiled by me :P
[07:19] <hate-> dev/sda1       /windows        owner,uid=1000,gid=1000,async,ro,umask=000      0       0
[07:19] <hate-> /dev/sda5       /media/sda5 ntfs ro,user,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,uid=1000,umask=000 0 0
[07:19] <hareem> i want to setup a cafe. Using ubuntu . Im trying to setup chillispot but its too much for me. So for now i want to setup a wired cafe
[07:19] <hate-> is that right?
[07:19] <ultra> Hi guys. Brand new to Ubuntu here
[07:19] <Zob> use wine config  in terminal didnt work for me
[07:19] <erpo> xnull-: I think 2.6.15 is the latest kernel available precompiled.
[07:19] <ToHellWithGA> how can i set up tor and privoxy in ubuntu?
[07:19] <userundefine> Hi ultra
[07:20] <distantmsx>  i need to open NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run via command line from a cdrom
[07:20] <xnull-> erpo: it's kinda old
[07:20] <erpo> hareem: If you're setting up your own cafe, definitely go for wired.  How do I create a link to a partition on the desktop?
[07:20] <xnull-> ultra: with ln
[07:21] <ultra> xnull-, Just a ln and put it into my desktop?
[07:21] <hareem> yeah. But how can i use ubuntu to do that. I mean i want to logoff my user when their time ends and i want to disable access to all the admin controls on the clint pc
[07:21] <Zob> how to get to wine config?
[07:21] <xnull-> ultra: man ln
[07:21] <narfmaster> Zob, type "winecfg"
[07:21] <userundefine> ultra, do you want all of them on your desktop ?
[07:21] <erpo> ultra:  ln -s /path/to/the/mounted/partition ~/Desktop
[07:22] <ultra> userundefine, no, got them all excepted one new I want to access read/write (one of my old win partitions). RW works great but shortcut to it missing on the desktop
[07:22] <Zob> is it possible to show windows applications in the ubuntu applications menu?
[07:22] <ultra> Thx erpo
[07:23] <userundefine> ultra, ah, well just use erpo's ln -s
[07:23] <erpo> xnull-: Considering how much of a pain in the * linux kernel and driver compilation and installation can be, being only a couple patchlevels behind isn't much.
[07:23] <xnull-> erpo: yeah I know but fedora  and others got default 2.6.17.x  now
[07:23] <erpo> xnull-: Besides, if you compile your own kernel, none of the downloadable drivers for ubuntu 6.06 will work with your kernel.
[07:24] <eigenlambda> ya
[07:24] <camolion> W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) <-- it gives me a bunch of those when i tryed uncommenting stuff on the sources list
[07:24] <Zob> how would I get streaming video files from other online web sites to work? They are not loading.
[07:25] <erpo> xnull-: I know. The way linux is built inherently makes it hard to stay up to date.
[07:25] <eigenlambda> i think ubuntu should have badram built in so ppls with bad ram, which happens alot to old compies, don't need to recompile theys kernels
[07:25] <Madpilot> camolion, can you pastebin your sources.list for us to look at?
[07:25] <camolion> wait.. nevermind, i think it fixes when i press reload
[07:25] <camolion> just the plain old sources list with the # taken out
[07:26] <ultra> Thx a lot, works like a charm with ln -s
[07:26] <xnull-> erpo: any ideea for a remote desktop client/server? (no vnc) cuz suck big time
[07:27] <erpo> xnull-: Supposedly there's a thing called nx that works well over reasonably sized pipes.
[07:28] <ultra> Does somebody have experience compiling or running wine on AMD64?
[07:29] <narfmaster> i'm sure somebody somewhere does ;)
[07:29] <ultra> narfmaster,  :-))
[07:29] <Zob> can anyone help me get streaming videos to work in firefox
[07:30] <narfmaster> Zob, you probably need the flash plugin
[07:30] <Zob> I have got the flash plugin..
[07:30] <Zob> flash works fine
[07:30] <narfmaster> and possibly the mozilla-mplayer
[07:30] <xnull-> zob: you need a player installed
[07:30] <eigenlambda> Zob:  you need mozilla-mplayer and win32codecs
[07:30] <erpo> ultra: No on the wine. I would try using a 32-bit kernel and 32-bit software. Your cpu should support it.
[07:30] <Zob> I got real player installed
[07:30] <Zob> alright
[07:30] <eigenlambda> mozilla-mplayer is in universe
[07:31] <eigenlambda> win32codecs is illegal, so you need to download it from an illegal repository
[07:31] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> someone tell me how to set the sun java to default
[07:31] <ultra> erpo, thx, just a pitty for the 64 then. Tried to compile but too many errors
[07:31] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> everything is legal in russia
[07:31] <eigenlambda> in russia, your mom is legal
[07:32] <eigenlambda> *daughter
[07:32] <bimberi> VieLGuS-KuTaS: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[07:33] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> bimberi: thanks , thats what i was looking for , but how can i specify the install path , couse its not showing up the menu
[07:33] <xnull-> haha VieLGuS-KuTaS>
[07:33] <DaveyJ> umount: /media/usbdisk: device is busy
[07:33] <DaveyJ> how can i tell what's using the device?
[07:33] <DaveyJ> because its not active at all
[07:34] <spades> Daveyboy are you inside its dir while trying to unmount? if so cd to home or something
[07:34] <xnull-> daveyj : pwd
[07:34] <bimberi> VieLGuS-KuTaS: i don't know.  When i installed the ubuntu (multiverse) sun java package it appears in that menu
[07:34] <rob138> if have a makefile and a *.c, what do i need to do to compile?
[07:34] <DaveyJ> no i'm not in the directory
[07:34] <ultra> Last question for today, is there a great file manager somewhere as I really don't like Thunar File Manager?
[07:35] <ultra> Kind of multiwindowed
[07:35] <DaveyJ> pwd ?
[07:35] <shen> I'm running 6.06 on a g4 ibook. If I boot up with my usb mouse plugged in it isn't found or powered on (the lazer isn't running). When I unplug it and plug it back in it works fine. How can I get it going from boot time without unplugging it?
[07:35] <xnull-> rob138 : build-esential
[07:35] <DaveyJ> that just shows my home directory
[07:35] <rob138> xnull-, but what is the command i do in the directory
[07:36] <xnull-> rob138 : apt-get install build-esential (install gcc first)
[07:36] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> bimberi: i know , but i installed it into a nondefault directory
[07:37] <calamari> hi
[07:37] <ultra> hi calamari
[07:37] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> hi
[07:37] <calamari> when I go to the Gnome menu and choose Quit then Shut Down, it logs out instead of shutting down.  Any idea what might be wrong?
[07:38] <calamari> hi ultra, how are you?
[07:38] <rob138> xnull-, i have all the stuff installed, but when i execute make i get: makefile:23: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.
[07:38] <ultra> calamari thx, i'm fine
[07:38] <jackrazz> hey everyone
[07:38] <distantmsx> i have a problem, who can help?
[07:39] <ultra> erpo, no idea about a nice file manager?
[07:39] <bimberi> VieLGuS-KuTaS: sorry, i've not delved into how the alternatives system works because it usually just works (tm)
[07:39] <jackrazz> making another crack at installing xgl for the umtheeth time - sooner or later, I'll get it right(:
[07:39] <calamari> distantmsx: there isn't really 1 on 1 support here.. you just need to ask your question and see if anyone knows the answer
[07:39] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> ok , ty
[07:39] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> bimberi: ty
[07:39] <bimberi> VieLGuS-KuTaS: yw :)
[07:40] <jackrazz> lots of users here tonight...
[07:40] <distantmsx> new box w/o supported drivers means no display. i have the drivers on cdrom, any idea on terminal command to run the file from there?
[07:40] <[Nige] > anyone had much luck configuring mplayer pre0-8
[07:40] <jackrazz> what kind of file distantmsx
[07:40] <distantmsx> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run
[07:41] <distantmsx> its for configuring X from terminal
[07:41] <hate-> anyone know of an alt to gaim? preferably with ym cam? oh and mp3 playback?
[07:41] <hawkaloogie> distantmsx, if you're using ubuntu, try installing the nvidia drivers from apt
[07:41] <jackrazz> don't know that one, just know about tar, deb and bin.
[07:41] <hawkaloogie> distantmsx, i just tried to get the ones from NVIDIA and they did not work no matter what i did
[07:41] <erpo> hate-: I think there's a fork of gaim with webcam support. I don't know about an integrated mp3 player.
[07:42] <distantmsx> how can i edit the repositories from terminal?
[07:42] <jackrazz> I can give you the driver names if you need them.
[07:42] <calamari> distantmsx: sudo nano /etc/arpt/sources.lst
[07:42] <narfmaster> distantmsx, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:42] <calamari> bah typo
[07:42] <calamari> narfmaster: thanks :)
[07:42] <jackrazz> thats even better calamari..
[07:42] <narfmaster> no problem
[07:42] <distantmsx> and is the apt-get install <same file as i named>?
[07:43] <jackrazz> anyone here install xgl?
[07:43] <narfmaster> apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:43] <distantmsx> thx
[07:43] <mikere> distantmsx: have you tried the nvidia driver that comes with ubuntu?  apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:43] <erpo> jackrazz: Tried it. Too much trouble.
[07:43] <distantmsx> ill go try it now
[07:43] <jackrazz> narf, doesnt that just install opengl stuff?
[07:43] <jackrazz> or does it do everything?
[07:43] <mikere> jackrazz: no, it installs whole thing
[07:43] <hate-> erpo: its on that repository thing right?
[07:43] <jackrazz> automated dependicies are great
[07:44] <cwillu> how to I write a floppy image?
[07:44] <distantmsx> congrats
[07:44] <distantmsx> that worked
[07:44] <calamari> jackrazz: I had that whole compiz thing and wasn't very impressed.. slowed things down a lot and had some weird quirks
[07:44] <erpo> hate-: No idea. I've given up on webcam support in linux. Most of the time, a webcam requires a driver. Getting a driver working in linux, especially an unpopular one, is an exercise in futility.
[07:44] <distantmsx> my bro upgraded his box for dualcore/overclocking purposes - only prob was had to recover a crashed disk w/ mostly ned hardware.
[07:44] <calamari> but it was fun to play with :)
[07:44] <hintswen> hey, how do i get something through the console that i'd normally get through the package manager thing?
[07:45] <jackrazz> ok, I'm using the instructions from here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[07:45] <cwillu> hintswen: apt-get install <package name>
[07:45] <narfmaster> hintswen, apt-get / aptitude install
[07:45] <jackrazz> I saw compiz, but I want that spinning cube!
[07:45] <hintswen> and if i don't know the esact name?
[07:45] <rob138> can someone explain how to fix this error when i am trying to "make" : makefile:23: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.
[07:45] <cwillu> aptitude
[07:45] <calamari> hintswen: apt-cache search <name>
[07:45] <hintswen> thx
[07:46] <erpo> jackrazz: Try 3ddesk. It's a lot less painful than getting a composite manager running.
[07:46] <jackrazz> does geset-compiz work with xgl?
[07:46] <jackrazz> erpo, thats not a bad idea..
[07:46] <hintswen> -bash: apt-cache: command not found
[07:46] <cwillu> is there a nice clean gui for writing floppy images?
[07:47] <jackrazz> rob138, broken script?
[07:47] <erpo> cwillu: Not to my knowledge. Use dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/fd0 from the command line.
[07:47] <rob138> !pastebin
[07:47] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:47] <jackrazz> cwillu how about right-clicking the floppy in nautilus and clicking format..
[07:48] <Esers> Has anyone tried to update to 6.06 from cd?
[07:48] <jackrazz> that's what I did
[07:48] <calamari> hintswen: that's odd.. it's part of the apt package
[07:48] <cwillu> it's under format? thanks
[07:48] <erpo> Esers: I did. It broke my installation.
[07:48] <hintswen> which means absolutly nothing to me
[07:48] <Esers> :(
[07:48] <erpo> Esers: I wiped and reinstalled. That worked fine.
[07:48] <Esers> Yeah
[07:48] <calamari> hintswen: ls -l /usr/bin/apt-cache
[07:48] <Shizboom> i didn't relize people still used floppys :P
[07:48] <rob138> jackrazz, and anyone else, is there something wrong in this makefile script that i have copied? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17520
[07:48] <Esers> But that somehow sucks :) You can update from internet, but from a cd
[07:48] <Esers> NOP
[07:49] <calamari> hintswen: does that command show a file?
[07:49] <cwillu> Shizboom: network boot on machines with no net-bootable bios
[07:49] <Shizboom> i haven't even had a floppy installed on my computer in like 7 years i dont think ;x
[07:49] <hintswen> no, it just gives the error
[07:49] <jackrazz> rob, I'm a newbie myself, but I'll look.
[07:49] <hintswen> oh, didn't see command 1 sec
[07:49] <[Nige] > !mplayer
[07:49] <cwillu> Shizboom: to say nothing of the 4 am phone call I got this morning when somebodies floppy was corrupt (grrrr)
[07:49] <ubotu> No fonts in mplayer? Install mplayer fonts. Codecs: see !codecs
[07:49] <Shizboom> lol
[07:49] <Shizboom> and thats the main reason why i dont use them
[07:49] <hintswen> ls: /usr/bin/apt-cache: No such file or directory
[07:49] <Shizboom> they are terrible
[07:49] <jackrazz> rob, do you have everything installed to properly compile
[07:50] <cwillu> no dice under format :/
[07:50] <Shizboom> if i want to transfer around data ill send it to myself or host it somewhere i can access
[07:50] <ToHellWithGA> i'm trying to use privoxy and tor
[07:50] <hintswen> oh sorry i'm stupid, was pasting it in wrong console
[07:50] <jackrazz> oh, he wants a faster compiz(:
[07:50] <ToHellWithGA> is anybody here familiar with setting up privoxy and tor?
[07:51] <erpo> Shizboom: Except that they were ubiquitous before a people decided they weren't necessary anymore. Now if you want to carry data around to other computers you have to have a usb memory stick and cd drive. If you want to carry data back, forget about it.
[07:51] <jackrazz> humm, I think I saw some how-to's at freedesktop or something like that.  The orignal link was at novells xgl site.
[07:51] <jackrazz> It looked good, on a wiki i think
[07:51] <hintswen> E: Invalid operation libpoe-component-irc-perl
[07:52] <erpo> hintswen: Did you remember to type install after apt-get?
[07:52] <Shizboom> who carries data anyway :P
[07:52] <Desh> How do I see how many monitors my laptop is set up to use, B/c fglrx will not work and I think it is b/c it thinks I have 2 monitors since ATI Control Panel lets me adjust settings for 2 screens.
[07:52] <calamari> hintswen: is that when running apt-cache ?
[07:52] <Shizboom> i just store it on ftps or email servers
[07:52] <hintswen> huh?
[07:52] <Shizboom> every computer has internet access that i use :D
[07:53] <erpo> Shizboom: What if you want to carry a megabyte to a computer that's not connected to the internet, or that has a 28.8 modem only.
[07:53] <hintswen> i typed apt-cache search POE and got libpoe-component-irc-perl, then typed apt-get libpoe-component-irc-perl
[07:53] <erpo> hintswen: You need apt-get install libpoe....
[07:53] <hintswen> aah, i gotta be in root
[07:53] <hintswen> so much for me being root!
[07:53] <Shizboom> i don't deal with that sort of stuff so i can sleep better at night in my perfect world :D
[07:53] <fyrestrtr> you need to type sudo apt-get install libpoe-component-irc-perl
[07:54] <Desh> Shizboom: What is your ISP dies?
[07:54] <Desh> *if
[07:54] <Desh> :-O
[07:54] <Shizboom> ill be shit out of luck :D
[07:54] <hintswen> omg, i don't think i know my root password
[07:54] <Desh> >_<
[07:55] <Shizboom> if something is that critical that i can't afford not to have it ill burn it onto a cd
[07:55] <jackrazz> I installed GoogleEarth using sudo when it didn't need it...didn't even know that programs don't always need root to install.
[07:55] <Desh> hintswen: SHould be your normal pass
[07:55] <hintswen> oh, lol
[07:55] <jackrazz> what, you didn't use the same one omg..
[07:55] <Desh> hintswen: you san use sudo pswd <user> to change passwords.
[07:55] <hintswen> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:55] <hintswen> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[07:56] <natecull> you don't need your root password as long as you can 'sudo', do you?
[07:56] <Desh> hintswen: Close adept?
[07:56] <hintswen> ?
[07:56] <Desh> hintswen: ew synaptic
[07:56] <YtseJam> blechs, when I boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD, I get a sort of a DOS prompt instead of a pert GUI(?). What am I doing wrong?
[07:56] <Desh> *er
[07:56] <rob138> for some reason whenever i open a terminal, it's base directory isn't ~ but something else, how do i revert it?
[07:56] <YtseJam> pretty*
[07:56] <natecull> YtseJam: What messages are you getting?
[07:56] <indieross> hello im having a problem with my screen resoultion can anyone help me
[07:56] <Shizboom> rob138 - cd ~ ?
[07:56] <hintswen> you lost me, sorry i'm a total newbie
[07:57] <YtseJam> Nothing. Just some sort of a DOS prompt
[07:57] <bll3r87> hello
[07:57] <jackrazz> when I drag a link from firefox to the desktop, it always adds 'link to' to the filename - is there a way to get rid of that?
[07:57] <rob138> Shizboom, but everytime i open terminal it opens in the other directory
[07:57] <indieross> it wont let me set it to 1280 x 1024
[07:57] <bll3r87> how is everyone going
[07:57] <YtseJam> natecull, well there's more but I'll have to boot again to see
[07:57] <Shizboom> ahh no clue on that :P
[07:57] <Desh> rob38: I dunno about the Ubuntu one but on Kubuntu you go to the options menu and leave the 'Directory' field blank.
[07:57] <natecull> YtseJam: It's more likely to be a Linux (bash) shell prompt rather than DOS - does it show a '#' prompt?
[07:57] <spades> rob138 which dir does it open?
[07:57] <redblades> Hi, I'm trying to get DDclient working, but having quite a few issues.
[07:57] <YtseJam> But in essence, it's a DOS prompt
[07:57] <jackrazz> YtseJam, did you try the livecd option?
[07:57] <bll3r87> can someone help me out real quick please. . . im having a problem connecting to the internet
[07:57] <redblades> I'm behind a router (with a firewall
[07:57] <rob138> spades /usr/lib
[07:57] <YtseJam> jackrazz, what livecd option?
[07:57] <natecull> YtseJam: possibly this means that it failed to enable X, the GUI system
[07:58] <rob138> spades, just some directory i was in while trying different commands on the keyboard, and accidently set it i think
[07:58] <distantmsx> hey guys, nvidia-zgl didnt work. its an older card, a geforce 2. know any repository carrying an nvidia driver supporting an amd/linux?
[07:58] <YtseJam> I downloaded the Desktop CD version ("LiveCD").
[07:58] <jackrazz> your trying to install ubuntu from a cd?
[07:58] <distantmsx> xgl*
[07:58] <spades> rob138 see if you can edit how it starts
[07:58] <Desh> :( No matter what I do mesa3d serves as my opengl. :(
[07:58] <redblades> Anyone here using DDclient?
[07:58] <YtseJam> natecull, okay, what can be done
[07:58] <YtseJam> ?
[07:58] <narfmaster> distantmsx, try nvidia-glx-legacy
[07:58] <Desh> rob138: I dunno about the Ubuntu one but on Kubuntu you go to the options menu and leave the 'Directory' field blank.
[07:58] <YtseJam> BTW, I can dir/w there and I see all sorts of files, even a readme.txt, but it won't open
[07:58] <distantmsx> thx
[07:58] <bll3r87> could someone help me out please, i just have a quick question
[07:59] <natecull> YtseJam: oh, huh
[07:59] <natecull> YtseJam: does 'ls' work or give an error?
[07:59] <Desh> bll3r87: Istate the question. :)
[07:59] <YtseJam> Damn I'll have to boot
[07:59] <jackrazz> distant, try going here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[07:59] <YtseJam> Okay, I'll IRC from the other box and boot this one
[07:59] <YtseJam> bbs
[07:59] <natecull> YtseJam: ok
[07:59] <jackrazz> there is some stuff on what to do for legacy
[07:59] <Desh> bll3r87: That way people will know if they can answer.
[07:59] <rob138> spades,  well now everytime i open a terminal, it opens from the last used directory from closing
[07:59] <jackrazz> a separate link on supported hardware
[07:59] <distantmsx> k
[08:00] <bll3r87> oh sorry Desh, well here is my problem, i just had the internet working and all of a sudden it stopped, but GAIM still connects
[08:00] <bll3r87> it doesnt make sence to me
[08:00] <bll3r87> firefox displays an unable to connect message
[08:00] <bll3r87> and the system packages section wont connect, but Gaim does
[08:00] <Desh> bll3r87: What type of connection, wireless, ethernet, etc.
[08:00] <DaveyJ> umount: /media/usbdisk: device is busy\
[08:00] <bll3r87> wireless
[08:00] <DaveyJ> the directory isnt open
[08:00] <bll3r87> i had everything set up, but out of no where it stoped
[08:00] <bll3r87> i was on the internet, i downloaded the flash player, everything worked fine
[08:00] <jackrazz> you dont have firewire or some firewall installed?
[08:00] <Desh> Hmm, the signal may be bad, have you tried rebooting and reconnectiong? Or getting closer to the access point?
[08:01] <bll3r87> yea
[08:01] <bll3r87> i tried a bunch
[08:01] <bll3r87> ive been using ubuntu for awhile now
[08:01] <jackrazz> backups can be a lifesave when learning(:
[08:01] <bll3r87> never gave me no problems
[08:01] <spades> rob138 go to edit> current profile>title and commands> last thing there should have options when exiting, what is yours set to?
[08:01] <winman> how do I know which driver is being used for X?
[08:01] <Desh> bll3r87, type "iwconfig" at a command promt and put it on pastebin
[08:02] <Desh> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17386
[08:02] <bll3r87> well im actually on my laptop right now
[08:02] <bll3r87> do you have AIM?
[08:02] <Desh> yeah.
[08:02] <rob138> spades: Exit the Terminal
[08:02] <jackrazz> try 'top' from a command line and see if it tells you what progs are running
[08:02] <jackrazz> may not tell you libs though
[08:03] <calamari> when I go to the Gnome menu and choose Quit then Shut Down, it logs out instead of shutting down.  Any idea what might be wrong?
[08:04] <indieross> so does anyone know how to fix screen resolution issues?
[08:05] <jackrazz> indierooss, what kind of monitor
[08:05] <fyrestrtr> !resolution
[08:05] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:05] <jackrazz> the ubuntu wiki has some good info on xorg.config
[08:05] <YtseJam> Hrm
[08:05] <Desh> How do I disable a 2nd monitor? In the system settings I can see a 2nd monitor options even tho I dont have one.
[08:05] <natecull> another useful command for X is: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:06] <natecull> this will redetect your monitor settings
[08:06] <indieross> thanks ubotu
[08:06] <YtseJam> natecull, ls does nothing. Also: DPMS Protected DOS Mode / Caldera DR-DOS, what the heck...
[08:06] <YtseJam> And BTW, I can't use the other box, err. :)
[08:06] <natecull> YtseJam: cool, it really is DOS. Weird
[08:07] <rob138> spades: Exit the Terminal
[08:07] <jackrazz> i'll be back in a bit. gonna see if nvidia-glx is showing its screen at bootup.
[08:07] <YtseJam> I got the Desktop CD .iso, burned it and made sure its bootable...
[08:07] <YtseJam> And I get DOS. hah.
[08:07] <natecull> YtseJam: It's possible it's using DR-DOS to boot, so it can launch Linux from DOS the same way whether you start in Windows or on bare metal
[08:08] <natecull> weird that it's not getting to launching the Linux bit though
[08:08] <HackerX2> Can i run Photoshop CS2 In wine?
[08:08] <YtseJam> I see it scans for devices and finds the partitions I have, but it stops with the DOS prompt.
[08:09] <mikere> I think I'll wait till everything installs and configures itself correctly before using xgl
[08:09] <Madpilot> YtseJam, that's probably a Linux command prompt rather than a DOS prompt, just to be accurate
[08:09] <efox> hey
[08:09] <Atimetion> ...
[08:09] <efox> how do i cp the contents of a folder OUT of the folder ?
[08:09] <Xen> can someone help me? my gnome desktop wallpaper and icons won't load, right clicking on blank desktop will not work.. help quick please
[08:09] <HackerX2> ?
[08:09] <efox> when i try the cp command, it copies the entire folder
[08:09] <YtseJam> maddler, dir/w also works in Linux command prompts?
[08:09] <YtseJam> err
[08:09] <YtseJam> Madpilot
[08:10] <Madpilot> YtseJam, try "ls" for listing files
[08:10] <mnemone> efox, cp $PATH/folder/* $DEST
[08:10] <YtseJam> Madpilot, I tried. nothing.
[08:10] <Xen> can someone help me? my gnome desktop wallpaper and icons won't load, right clicking on blank desktop will not work.. help quick please
[08:10] <efox> mnemone: thanks
[08:10] <top222> YtseJam: ls is the same as dir /w
[08:11] <top222> YtseJam: ls -l  is more like your ordinary dir
[08:11] <HackerX2_> Will PhotoShop CS2 Work With Wine?
[08:11] <YtseJam> top222, I know... :) I meant that not as a question to show Madpilot that it's not a Linux command prompt. :)
[08:11] <YtseJam> I guess I was misunderstood.
[08:11] <top222> YtseJam: My bad.  It's morning here and I just woke up.
[08:11] <YtseJam> Same here.
[08:12] <YtseJam> 09:11
[08:12] <spades> rob138 im not sure why its doing that, can you find what its calling to start the terminal and see if there is anything wrong with it?
[08:12] <Madpilot> YtseJam, how did you manage to get to a DOS prompt during a Linux install? (or have I misunderstood how you got there?)
[08:12] <rob138> spades, what does that mean?
[08:12] <spades> how are you starting the terminal?
[08:12] <rob138> spades, ctrl-alt-t , or gnome-terminal
[08:13] <YtseJam> Madpilot, I'm trying Ubuntu 6.06's Desktop CD ("LiveCD"). After boot I got a Caldera DR-DOS prompt instead of having something, a GUI, to load...
[08:13] <top222> I have 3 OSes in my Thinkpad.  Two linuxes (one is Ubuntu) and MS-DOS (did not do much with it, but intended to use it to flash the BIOS)
[08:13] <HackerX2_> ** Is there anyway to get Kistmet to work with Ndiswrapper? **
[08:13] <YtseJam> it seems like your regular [win]  DOS prompt...
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> YtseJam: what current OS do you run on your machine?
[08:13] <YtseJam> XP
[08:13] <Madpilot> YtseJam, that's a neat trick... is this a burned CD or a pressed ShipIt one?>
[08:14] <spades> rob138 hmm, well i dont know, sorry, try posting it on the forums maybe?
[08:14] <natecull> d'oh, this is taking longer than I figured
[08:14] <YtseJam> Madpilot, burned .iso.
[08:14] <rob138> spades, okay, thanks  : )
[08:14] <natecull> got to dismantle a box to get the CD out...
[08:14] <YtseJam> heh
[08:15] <narfmaster> YtseJam, type help help
[08:15] <Madpilot> YtseJam, when you first stick the LiveCd in, one of the options is "Check This CD" - try that
[08:15] <tobias_> Hello! I have problems with my Plextor SATA DVD under Dapper. Every 4 s I got a lot of error messages as long no DVD is in the drive.
[08:15] <YtseJam> Madpilot, I get nothing like that.
[08:16] <YtseJam> It just boots from the CD, scans my system (or so I believe) and then I get the DOS prompt.
[08:16] <tobias_> Someone can help?
[08:16] <Madpilot> YtseJam, you should get a short menu, "Run Ubuntu" at the top, and a couple of other options
[08:16] <YtseJam> Madpilot, should.
[08:16] <jarrett> Can someone help me, my nvidia drivers appear to be installed correctly, but when i run "glxinfo | grep direct" i get "direct rendering: No"
[08:17] <Madpilot> YtseJam, either you've got a bad burn, or a bad ISO download
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: how do you know they are installed correctly?
[08:17] <YtseJam> http://www.initworld.com/ubuntu/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[08:17] <YtseJam> ^ that's the one I downloaded.
i see the nvidia logo when i boot?
[08:18] <YtseJam> sigh
[08:18] <YtseJam> So where's the torrent for the LiveCD version? I'll download again *grumble*
[08:18] <Madpilot> YtseJam, did you run md5sum on the ISO after you downloaded it?
[08:18] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: when you boot, or when gdm starts?
[08:18] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> doesn anyone know how to change the directory in which the update-alternatives --config java looks for available java clients?
[08:18] <YtseJam> Madpilot, no.
[08:18] <fyrestrtr> YtseJam: try a direct (non-torrent) download
[08:18] <Madpilot> YtseJam, Desktop = LiveCD for Dapper
[08:18] <timalot> can some one point me to some docs about how to create a deb package out of NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run, i have the kernel source + build tools
[08:19] <YtseJam> Madpilot, yeah I know (there really should be 1 name for it. ;))
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> YtseJam: and also, burn it on a 700 MB blank, not a 650 MB one. Try it from here http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[08:19] <YtseJam> Yes, I burned it on a 700MB CD...
[08:19] <Madpilot> YtseJam, it used to be called LiveCD, now it's just Desktop - it's a new name for Dapper, so people are still using the old one, just to confuse everyone
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> YtseJam: check the checksum before you burn the file.
umm, im not sure, im a noob, it displays when the first graphical stuff starts to display, right before the login screed i think, also when i press shitf+backspace to restart x it displays
[08:20] <YtseJam> 260kbps, nice.
i installed the nvidia drivers using the BUMPS utility http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=143
[08:21] <firebird611> Do I need any packages installed before being able to install .bin files?
[08:22] <natecull> seems to be booting using isolinux
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: don't know what the BUMPS utility is, but you can easily verify that you are using the nvidia drivers or not. First, type this grep nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: you should get one line - Driver  "nvidia"
[08:22] <Zob> I cant seem to download mozilla-mplayer
[08:23] <juice> anyone out there?
[08:23] <narfmaster> Zob, it should be in multiverse
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> !anyone
[08:23] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:23] <jarrett> grep nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf i do get that line, but i also get two lines before it, # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder3)  Wed Mar 29 14:43:26 PST
[08:23] <juice> is it possible to have an extended desktop?
[08:23] <Zob> I enabled multiverse..
[08:23] <Zob> it shows the icon
[08:23] <Zob> but I can not click it..
[08:23] <Zob> nore install it
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: okay, no problem. Are you using anything like XGL?
[08:24] <HackerX2_> Zob refresh
yes, i am, but not currently because the program i want the direct rendering for is steam in wine
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: okay, what do you get with this glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: seems you are running xgl.
[08:26] <Zob> I have refreshed... it says this item is not currently installable.. it says to enable the multiverse, but I have already.
[08:26] <Zob> so im not sure why its not working.
i disabled it in the startup sessions thing, im seeing no eyecandy curently
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: I think you are running the xserver-xgl version, not the plain version -- which is why your server vendor is sgi and client is nvidia (which is what I get on my xgl desktop)
[08:28] <HackerX> Zob, to honest i have no clue with out seeing it i cant tell ya
[08:28] <Zob> alright. :P Can always just download the video files and play them.
[08:28] <fyrestrtr> Zob: close synaptic out, and from a terminal type 'sudo apt-get update' then type 'sudo apt-get install mozilla-player'
[08:29] <HackerX> Zob, What are you trying to do?
sorry, that is kind of confusing to me, all i know is im using the http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ repos, but xgl isnt currently active i dont think
[08:30] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> does anyone know how to change the directory in which the update-alternatives --config java looks for available java clients?
[08:30] <fyrestrtr> jarrett: okay let me try to explain it. When you install compiz, you actually change the x server that you are running -- which I think kills direct rendering. If you revert back to the 'normal' x server, you will get direct rendering.

[08:33] <gonniff> I've just installed and configured it a few days ago, but have noticed I'm having trouble with contacts
[08:34] <gonniff> If I click on the Contacts tab, they display, but not when I click on "To:" when typing a mail
[08:34] <gonniff> I seem to remember this being a problem several years ago under Red Hat
[08:34] <gonniff> Have you ever seen this?

[08:35] <DBO> gonniff, yes I have, and I am not aware of a fix to be honest
[08:35] <gonniff> fyrestrtr: it's a pop server

[08:35] <Zob> alright
[08:35] <Zob> nvm
