[02:56] <icz> type sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/windows
[02:56] <varsedangger> what is a good pda to have for linux?
[02:56] <jay> the -R will affect folders inside of it, which you havent yet complained about not being able to access
[02:56] <SEJeff> medgno: yes you can
[02:57] <zcat[1] > To some extent, yeah.. you can allow them to "killall foo" and not "killall bar"
[02:57] <lab> jay, I want to be able to open up the files on the drive
[02:57] <lab> as a normal user
[02:57] <anto9us> varsedangger: Sharp Zaurus
[02:57] <icz> lab: are you sharing the folder on you windows machine?
[02:57] <zer0`> how do you clear the dns cache?
[02:57] <jay> zcat[1] , how do I do i add them to sudoers "so that they can...."
[02:57] <jay> lab, what filesystem is the drive?
[02:58] <Xeromem> i hate depencies :(
[02:58] <mustard5> lab, there is a script that will automatically mount all your drives and put the correct fstab entries in on the wiki
[02:58] <icz> ijay:  if its a windows share its smbgs
[02:58] <zcat[1] > man sudoers ?  Any ideas?
[03:01] <niels_> prasys: so what... just typre sudo before all commands?
[03:01] <SEJeff> icz: grow up and quit acting like a child
[03:01] <jay> chmod 555 ./windows
[03:01] <jay> from root
[03:01] <jay> (from the /media directory)
[03:01] <SEJeff> icz: And with captiventfs, you can write to ntfs without messing up anything
[03:01] <pr0tocol> anyone?
[03:01] <varsedangger> where is a good place to find fonts for OOo
[03:01] <niels_> blackgibson: so just typre sudo before every command?
[03:02] <Baal> I am trying to configure a program to compile and it keeps telling me that getopt is not there.  The getopt executable is in the /usr/bin directory.  What is wrong?
[03:02] <lab> dustin@lab:/media$ sudo chmod 555 ./windows
[03:02] <pr0tocol> lol @ jay
[03:02] <lab> dustin@lab:/media$ cd /media/windows/
[03:02] <lab> Permission denied
[03:02] <pr0tocol> Baal, direct it to where it's at
[03:02] <jay> lab, should work
[03:02] <varsedangger> lab your name is dustin to holy crap
[03:02] <pr0tocol> Baal, set a prefix
[03:02] <Baal> how do I direct it there?
[03:02] <varsedangger> what are the chances
[03:03] <marvinalone> hi, i'm experiencing this weird problem with my badger
[03:03] <pr0tocol> Baal, read the INSTALL file
[03:03] <pr0tocol> ;)
[03:03] <lab> jay, doesn't work
[03:03] <jay> ohh, lab, check out your /etc/fstab file
[03:03] <pr0tocol> so
[03:03] <marvinalone> certain applications, openoffice or gnome-panel to name some, die instantly and remain in state D (uninterruptible sleep)
[03:03] <Kumo> hi guys, I need help with my keyboard please
[03:03] <mustard5> lab, if you the script at this link it should set it up for you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[03:03] <jay> make sure the partition's being mounted with the ,users option
[03:03] <jay> , lab
[03:04] <lab> will that link mustard5 gave work ?
[03:04] <marvinalone> this happened after a ram-upgrade, but when i grade back down it still does the same thing
[03:04] <mustard5> hey ngutwirth missed you in the other channel
[03:04] <kyncani> marvinalone: checked your dmesg ?
[03:04] <varsedangger> anyone ever use mplay?
[03:04] <jay> lab, add the ,users option to the /etc/fstab file for your ntfs drive entry
[03:04] <mustard5> lab, read the link and check it out
[03:04] <Fletch> I installed the normal/full installation of ubuntu and it runs too slow on my old 400mhz 64mb ram computer and I was wondering if its possible to remove gnome and just have a window manager, or whatever will make it faster
[03:04] <marvinalone> kyncani, yeah, doesn't say anything
[03:04] <jay> then umount /media/windows, and then mount /media/windows
[03:05] <apokryphos> jay: or just sudo mount -a  ;-)
[03:05] <kyncani> marvinalone: you don't use nfs ?
[03:05] <Kumo> hi guys, I need help with my keyboard please, I upgraded to breeze and my keyboard in gdm doesn't work
[03:05] <jay> apokryphos thas rite!
[03:06] <marvinalone> kyncani, i do, but when i run vmstat the processes don't show up as blocking. they do contribute to loadavg though.
[03:06] <marvinalone> kyncani, what about nfs could it be?
[03:06] <theine> Kumo, so the whole thing doesn't work or what?
[03:06] <ngutwirth> yo guys i just got ubuntu can someone tell me how to make firestarter automatically start when turning on the computer? thanks
[03:06] <marvinalone> kyncani, ohhh, i know
[03:06] <varsedangger> my firefox just crashed hard, don't know what happend
[03:06] <marvinalone> kyncani, you're the best, thanks
[03:06] <kyncani> marvinalone: nfs mounts going down lead to processes in uninterruptible states
[03:06] <theine> Kumo, or is it just a wrong layout?
[03:07] <Milk_> is there a way in linux to rip an mp3 from an AVI file?
[03:07] <nicoal> hmm.. is there an ETA until kernel 2.6.14 with hostap is in the repos?
[03:07] <Baal> Kumo, have you checked to see if the keyboard came unplugged?
[03:07] <jay> ngutwirth , it just should... no?
[03:07] <ngutwirth> well i dont think so
[03:07] <Kumo> theine: I cannot login but the keyboard works outside gdm
[03:07] <ngutwirth> the icon doesnt pop up
[03:07] <mustard5> ngutwirth, its in the preferences isnt it?
[03:07] <jay> then you have to go into /etc/rc2.d
[03:07] <ngutwirth> nope i checked
[03:07] <jay> and create a symlink to it
[03:07] <marvinalone> kyncani, the problem is that the nfs server borked earlier today. nfs is fine but lockd isn't.
[03:07] <ngutwirth> i installed it from apt-get
[03:08] <mustard5> ngutwirth, run at boot time?  ah ok..let me check it out
[03:08] <SEJeff> nicoal: Are you using dapper?
[03:08] <nicoal> SEJeff, dapper? nope, what's that?
[03:08] <ngutwirth> i dunno on the site it says its different if u used apt get
[03:08] <lab> kk thanks jay !! and thanks mustard5
[03:08] <Kumo> Baal: yes i checked, It does work outside gdm, is rare because I can use numbers (from the right side of the keyboard) but not letters
[03:08] <SEJeff> nicoal: a kernel with hostap will not go into breezy ever. Only security updates
[03:08] <lab> mustard5, great script but it creates horrible drive names lol
[03:08] <theine> Kumo, did you ever modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand?
[03:08] <jubei> just upgraded to breezy and i'm having trouble accessing virtual terminals
[03:08] <Kumo> yes
[03:08] <jubei> ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work
[03:08] <SEJeff> nicoal: To get something like that, you need to run the development version of ubuntu which might randomly break during upgrades and is not suggested
[03:08] <cianci> for setting up ndiswrapper, there is a text file that is called interfaces, am i supposed to modify that in any way for this to work??
[03:09] <sells> SEJeff: can you tell me the syntax in console to go in and edit .gftp
[03:09] <Kumo> theine: yes, I checked that but I don't see anything different than my configuration on the live cd
[03:09] <mustard5> ngutwirth, I have the answer ;)   see you in #kubuntu-offtopic?
[03:09] <nicoal> SEJeff, drat... so breezy will stay at 2.6.12?
[03:09] <ngutwirth> ok
[03:09] <SEJeff> cianci: Enable universe + multiverse repositories and then download ndisgtk
[03:09] <Linux_whore> How can I get SSL/TSL support in links2. I am using links2 with gui, but that might not matter.
[03:09] <foxgamer> Does anyone know what sort of FPS I should be expecting with the screensaver ATunnel?
[03:09] <SEJeff> nicoal: correct
[03:09] <SEJeff> sells: .gtk is a directory
[03:10] <mozcom> hello
[03:10] <SEJeff> sells: Try this: nautilus ~/.gftp
[03:10] <varsedangger> hey i just lost all text in firefox any ideas?
[03:10] <theine> Kumo, anyway, i would do a `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[03:10] <nicoal> SEJeff, I would be able to download and compile my own 2.6.14 without breaking anything, wouldn't I?
[03:10] <SEJeff> nicoal: yes you would
[03:10] <sells> SEJeff: thanks
[03:10] <nicoal> SEJeff, excellent, thanks!
[03:10] <theine> Kumo, you need to do the md5sum stuff mentioned in the header of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:10] <Kumo> theine: I have already done it but nothing change
[03:10] <SEJeff> nicoal: I wouldn't be surprised if the dapper kernel installs fine on breezy, but it could break things...
[03:11] <zer0`> how can i flush my dns cache?
[03:11] <theine> Kumo, did you do:
[03:11] <theine> sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum'
[03:11] <Kumo> theine: md5sum stuff? I'm gonna see
[03:11] <Milk_> is there a way in linux to rip an mp3 from an AVI file?
[03:12] <theine> Kumo, if you don't do that, dpkg-reconfigure won't have any affect
[03:12] <sells> SEJeff: maybe I need to go somewhere else. I need to edit the ssh RSA key for GFTP
[03:12] <cianci> for setting up ndiswrapper, the text file that is called interfaces in the etc/network folder, am i supposed to modify that in any way for this to work??
[03:12] <zcat[1] > Milk_: mplayer will dump the sound to a wav file, then lame it..
[03:12] <Kumo> theine: ok I'll try it
[03:12] <Milk_> zcat[1] , great!
[03:13] <bibe> hi, i'd like to configure a linux router with ubuntu. is it possible to use rp-pppoe? or is there any ubuntu integrated alternative?
[03:13] <pr0tocol> can ANYONE help me with this Gtk problem I'm having regarding the fonts
[03:13] <cianci> for setting up ndiswrapper, the text file that is called interfaces in the etc/network folder, am i supposed to modify that in any way for this to work??
[03:13] <varsedangger> can someone google "no text in firefox" and tell me how to fix it
[03:13] <Milk_> zcat[1] , where is the option to have mplayer do it?
[03:13] <Kumo> theine: and after that the dpkg-reconfigure stuff?
[03:14] <varsedangger> bbL
[03:14] <zcat[1] > mplayer -ao pcm:file=foo.wav
[03:14] <r0bby> okay i followed the thing to get ndiswrapper working
[03:14] <citrosack> having some vnc woes   can anyone help?
[03:15] <r0bby> why is it not working
[03:15] <r0bby> the interface isn't being recognized
[03:15] <r0bby> on dapper
[03:16] <zcat[1] > .. and -vo null if you don't want to see the video while it's doing it :)
[03:16] <abarbaccia> hey all - when i mount the windows partition using discs-admin it doesnt allow me to view the partition unless i'm root
[03:16] <abarbaccia> and i cant change the permissions or ownership on the dir because its read-only
[03:17] <cianci> for ndfswrapper the text file that is called interfaces in the etc/network folder, am i supposed to modify that in any way for this to work??
[03:18] <anto9us> cianci: what does ndiswrapper -l show you?
[03:18] <calamari> is it possible to delete a password?  I'd like to make it so there is no root password, so that it's not possible to log in a root (just sudo)
[03:18] <ecobuntu> jonny:  any luck?
[03:18] <Kumo> theine: I'll see if now is working, I'll be right back
[03:19] <cianci> anto9us , all invalid drivers
[03:19] <kyncani> calamari: man shadow
[03:19] <_Baal_> Why does ubuntu not use the standard package names that every other linux distro uses?
[03:19] <cianci> but they are the correct ones from the cd
[03:19] <sazwerx> hi.. anyone knows how to set-up CDMA fixed wireless phone to be used for connect to the NET in ubuntu? thanks.
[03:19] <medgno> _Baal_, it uses the same ones debian uses
[03:19] <anto9us> cianci: type ndiswrapper -i <filename>.inf
[03:19] <kyncani> _Baal_: there are no standard for package names
[03:20] <cianci> anto9us, when i do that, it says the driver is already installed
[03:20] <jonny> ecobuntu: nope
[03:20] <SEJeff> cianci: get ndisgtk from the universe repository for a nice gui to do it for you much easier
[03:20] <_Baal_> Why does ubuntu put so many packages in non-standard places.    Where are they?  What package are they in?
[03:21] <cianci> i checked the website and it says it's comptable
[03:21] <SEJeff> _Baal_: SUSE puts software in nonstandard places.  Yes indeed. Who would have thought it, eh, cafuego?
[03:22] <ecobuntu> !R
[03:22] <ubotu> ecobuntu: Bugger all, i dunno
[03:22] <SEJeff> _Baal_: Try: apt-cache search xorg | grep dev
[03:22] <cafuego> !R is a powerful statistical program.  sudo apt-get install r-base r-recommended
[03:22] <ubotu> cafuego: okay
[03:22] <cafuego> ... you get the iea.
[03:22] <SEJeff> _Baal_: And dpkg -L packagename | less to view all of the files a package installs
[03:23] <ecobuntu> !R
[03:23] <ubotu> r is, like, totally, a powerful statistical program.  sudo apt-get install r-base r-recommended
[03:23] <anto9us> cianci: is that the latest version of the drivers?
[03:23] <ecobuntu> yeah!!!!
[03:23] <ecobuntu> how did you do that?
[03:23] <_Baal_> sejeff: so after you do that you get this long list of x11 stuff, none of which says x11 include files
[03:23] <ecobuntu> yay!
[03:23] <ecobuntu> how do i tell ubotu about QGIS?
[03:23] <cafuego> !r =~ s/r-recommended/r-recommended r-base-html/
[03:23] <ubotu> OK, cafuego
[03:23] <cianci> yes, anto9us, when i type in sudo iwconfig wlan0, it says no such device?
[03:23] <SEJeff> _Baal_: All dev packages are include files. You just need to find out which ones you need
[03:23] <cafuego> ecobuntu: You do it by not repeating the factoid key.
[03:23] <_Baal_> sejeff: thanks, that might help
[03:23] <ecobuntu> !QGIS is an open source alternative to ArcGIS sudo apt-get qgis
[03:23] <ubotu> okay, ecobuntu
[03:23] <ecobuntu> like that?
[03:24] <ecobuntu> !qgis
[03:24] <ubotu> qgis is probably an open source alternative to ArcGIS sudo apt-get qgis
[03:24] <cafuego> ecobuntu: Like /msg ubotu foo is bar ; not /msg ubotu foo foo is bar
[03:24] <budluva> can someone tell me what this error mears? ...ImportError: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:24] <ecobuntu> yeah!
[03:24] <budluva> does that mean i hdont have libssl?
[03:24] <cafuego> !qgis
[03:24] <cafuego> !info qgis
[03:24] <anto9us> cianci: you have to get ndiswrapper reporting driver present, hardware present first
[03:24] <cianci> and then if i type in sudo ifup wlan0 it says: option left with empty value
[03:24] <ubotu> qgis: (Geographic Information System (GIS)), section universe/science, is extra. Version: 0.6.0-2build1 (breezy), Packaged size: 5959 kB, Installed size: 12824 kB
[03:24] <SEJeff> _Baal_: This might be better: apt-cache search xorg | grep header
[03:24] <mozcom> how can i install .exe file in ubuntu
[03:24] <mozcom> ?
[03:24] <cianci> ok, how do i do that anto9us?
[03:24] <_Baal_> sejeff:  any idea how to get the rss-glx screensaver configure file to find getopt?  I think it is installed but the configure says it isn't there.
[03:24] <cafuego> ecobuntu: The bot *does* already contain all package meta info, though.
[03:24] <ecobuntu> !info r-base
[03:25] <ubotu> r-base: (GNU R statistical computing language and environment), section universe/math, is optional. Version: 2.1.1-1 (breezy), Packaged size: 19 kB, Installed size: 56 kB
[03:25] <ecobuntu> oh i see
[03:25] <n0odl3> mozcon: you cant use exe files in linux
[03:25] <ecobuntu> i didn't know that
[03:25] <anto9us> cianci: what's the make and model of your wifi device?
[03:25] <ecobuntu> cool
[03:25] <sazwerx> help.. i've attached my cdma fixed wireless phone (via usb) to my comp, and i can see it in "device manager", but i dunno where the block device is?
[03:25] <n0odl3> mozcon: unless you have wine or cedega
[03:25] <medgno> mozcom, you could give wine a try, but it has very mixed results
[03:25] <SEJeff> _Baal_: probably a path issue
[03:25] <cianci> anto9us : it's Linksys WUSB54G Wireless USB Adapter
[03:25] <cianci> (and i have the latest working drivers installed)
[03:25] <anto9us> cianci: what does lsusb show you?
[03:26] <benplaut> i've done alot of messing around with java, and it's now broken... how can i delete all instances of jre, all traces of it from my system and try again, from scratch?
[03:26] <mozcom> im using ubuntu, wen im installing an .exe files it is looking for and .exe application?
[03:26] <_Baal_> sejeff:  I can't figure out how to redirect the configure file to find getopt.  I have tried all of the --directoryoptions that the configure file has
[03:26] <cianci> anto9us: what is the command i should type in??
[03:26] <ecobuntu> mozcom:  wine package.exe
[03:26] <selinium> Any ideas on how to turn a mov file into an mp4 ?
[03:26] <anto9us> cianci: lsusb
[03:26] <cianci> ok
[03:27] <kyncani> selinium: mencoder perhaps ?
[03:27] <cianci> there are devices and bus ports
[03:27] <cianci> are you looking for anything in particular?

[03:28] <_jaypee> i have kubuntu and was wondering if anyone knew what package contains 3d carousel screensaver
[03:28] <Chizn> whats the difference between a 386 and a 586 processor?
[03:28] <thirso> !pastebin
[03:28] <ubotu> I guess pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[03:28] <cianci> i am on another computer,anto9us
[03:28] <mozcom> wer i can find wine? sorry im new here
[03:28] <medgno> _jaypee, probably kscreensaver-xsavers
[03:28] <ecobuntu> !otters
[03:29] <ubotu> Wish i knew, ecobuntu
[03:29] <cianci> there is Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

[03:29] <cianci> there is Bus 010 Device 010: ID 12bl:000d
[03:29] <anto9us> cianci: unplug the device and then lsusb again, that will indicate wich line shows your device
[03:29] <selinium> kyncani, CHeers, I will take a look!

[03:35] <watnou> aven: why not install ircd-hybrid via apt-get
[03:36] <alexandros> is there a way to run etherape as a normal user, and be able to access the ethernet card?
[03:36] <cianci> anto9us, are u there?
[03:36] <max> i have installed linux
[03:36] <max> and give me error in a blue screen that my video card is not well configured
[03:36] <anto9us> cianci: apparently there's a WUSB54Gv4 which is a different chip from the previous 3 versions
[03:37] <max> can anybody help me ??
[03:37] <ruinevil> version d?
[03:37] <anto9us> cianci: try an earlier driver
[03:37] <ruinevil> never heard of it
[03:37] <cianci> so i shouldn't use the drivers on the cd i have? anto9us
[03:38] <dabaR> max: are you in linux now? what video card do you use?
[03:38] <anto9us> cianci: in that case, download the latest from the website and try those
[03:38] <cianci> i read somewhere, anto9us, where you have to associate the driver with the hardware to make it work
[03:38] <cianci> i did that
[03:38] <anto9us> cianci: ndiswrapper -i does that
[03:39] <bob2> cianci: did you read that howto?
[03:39] <max> dabaR nop i'm at another pc
[03:39] <cianci> oh
[03:39] <dell500> can you edit the "Places" drop menu so that it has a menu that comes off certain folders?
[03:39] <bob2> Absenth: I'm sure it works fine once you build a custom kernel and etup the userland tools
[03:39] <max> dabaR i'm using an ATI
[03:39] <max> X800gt
[03:39] <cianci> i have tried all of the drivers, but it says that they are invalid drivers? anto9us
[03:39] <dabaR> max: you are about to get a message from ubotu
[03:39] <max> kay
[03:39] <max> tks
[03:39] <bob2> cianci: did you read the howto?
[03:39] <anto9us> cianci: you mean all the drivers or all the files on the cd?
[03:40] <cianci> all the drivers on the CD
[03:40] <anto9us> cianci: download latest version from linksys website
[03:40] <max> i was trying to install fglrx-driver like it is on the site but he can't found
[03:41] <dducko> dell500, You can, I find it easier to use the archive manager to do it
[03:41] <cianci> and when i do sudo ndiswrapper -l i get all the drivers and they all say invalid driver! -like that
[03:41] <dabaR> max: maybe its in a repository that you had not enabled.
[03:41] <dell500> dducko, what do you mean?
[03:41] <phinnaeus> !tell phinnaeus about repos
[03:41] <phinnaeus> gang
[03:41] <dabaR> max: had ou enabled any repository as part of your "efforts"?
[03:41] <Kumo> I need help with my keyboard, I cannot login in Breeze
[03:41] <dducko> have a zip or rar file handy dell500
[03:41] <max> don't know i installed it in this moment
[03:41] <phinnaeus> can somone do that thing
[03:41] <phinnaeus> about repos to me
[03:41] <phinnaeus> please
[03:41] <anto9us> cianci: it's ndiswrapper -i <filename.inf> to install driver then ndiswrapper -l to check if it's loaded
[03:41] <dducko> dell500, nm  under apps the first one.. opent eh archive manager
[03:42] <dabaR> phinnaeus: read the message ubotu sends you.
[03:42] <max> think not
[03:42] <Absenth_> since my vpn at school so rudely disconnected me, I'll ask again.
[03:42] <phinnaeus> oh
[03:42] <phinnaeus> nevermind
[03:42] <Absenth_> Can anyone tell me roughly how well xen works on breezy?
[03:42] <dducko> dell500, well I guess you still need an archive file to do it with..
[03:42] <psusi> how can I force an older version of a package to be installed?
[03:42] <cianci> right, anto9us, after i install the driver, and then do -l , it lists the drivers i had installed for it, and they all say invalid driver next to the driver name
[03:42] <runeh> I guess update-alternatives was the way to go in my case ...
[03:42] <dabaR> max: if you had not, that could be a good reason the fglrx driver package was not found.
[03:42] <psusi> the force version option in synaptic is disabled, and the versions tab in the package properties only shows the current version
[03:42] <Kumo> I need help with my keyboard, I cannot login in Breeze, I does work outside gdm but not inside, I have just updated
[03:43] <dabaR> max: read the wiki page again, see what you need to enable. universe most likely.
[03:43] <anto9us> cianci: then download latest winxp drivers from linksys and see if they work
[03:43] <dducko> dell500, after you get one open, click extract and then choose other.. from this browsing menu you can add it on the left side of the screen
[03:43] <cianci> i did that, anto9us just 10 minutes ago
[03:44] <dducko> dell500, im sure there is an easier way, but that works great for me
[03:44] <m0zone> silly question  where might one find e17 for ubuntu :P-~
[03:44] <dell500> dducko, i'm wanting to have a drop menu from the Places menu on the toolbar
[03:44] <anto9us> cianci: what's the model number on your device?
[03:44] <dducko> dell500, i know.. that will add it to it
[03:45] <cianci> WUSB54G (it's usb)
[03:45] <bob2> m0zone: www.enlightenment.org, pull from CVS
[03:45] <dell500> dducko, opened...
[03:45] <bob2> m0zone: someone made broken outdated ubuntu apckage sat some point, too
[03:45] <anto9us> cianci: doesn't give a version number?
[03:45] <dducko> ok click extract dell500
[03:45] <Aven> I'm still getting the error :(
[03:45] <Aven> C compiler cannot create executables
[03:45] <Aven> what do I have to do? :\
[03:45] <dducko> then  from the places menu choose other..
[03:46] <benplaut> i've done alot of messing around with java, and it's now broken... how can i delete all instances of jre, all traces of it from my system and try again, from scratch?
[03:46] <dducko> in that area to the right, you should see a directory and to the left at the bottom.. says +Add
[03:46] <bob2> Aven: what are you trying to compile?
[03:46] <max> dabaR please can you be more specific ?
[03:46] <bob2> benplaut: presumably you installed it all to one directory?
[03:46] <cianci> anto9us, on the actual device itselft?
[03:46] <dducko> add what you want, then close it down.. should be in your places menu
[03:46] <benplaut> bob2: dpkg & apt-get
[03:46] <Aven> bob2: unrealircd
[03:46] <bob2> benplaut: oh, easy then
[03:46] <anto9us> cianci: yes, will be listed near the serial number, for a guess
[03:46] <bob2> Aven: oh man
[03:46] <bob2> Aven: please don't
[03:46] <Aven> ?
[03:46] <psusi> how can I force an older version of a package to be installed? I'm trying to go back to an older version of xserver-xorg-core because the newer ones cause fglrx breakage on amd64 according to a thread on the forums
[03:47] <Aven> I've done it before
[03:47] <bob2> Aven: the unrealircd people haeve shown themselves to be morons time and again
[03:47] <benplaut> bob2: doing the purge install didn't work...
[03:47] <Aven> haha!
[03:47] <benplaut> *uninstall
[03:47] <psusi> only synaptic's option to force a version is disabled and the version tab only shows the current version as availible
[03:47] <bob2> benplaut: didn't work = ?
[03:47] <cianci> ok, it's version 4 anto9us
[03:47] <max> i was trying to install fglrx-driver like it is on the site but he can't found
[03:47] <Aven> but is there a way to allow gcc to create executable files?
[03:47] <benplaut> bob2: nope
[03:47] <bob2> psusi: look for it in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[03:47] <cianci> WUSB54G Ver. 4
[03:47] <anto9us> cianci: ok, looking on web
[03:47] <bob2> Aven: install build-essential
[03:47] <cianci> ok
[03:47] <Aven> bob2: what's that?
[03:47] <dell500> dducko, i have no idea what you mean...
[03:47] <bob2> psusi: but I'd ignore any thread on the forum about thingss like that, unless it is accompanied by a link to a bug report
[03:47] <Aven> is that a compiler?
[03:47] <benplaut> bob2: i reinstalled it, and java didn't work...
[03:48] <psusi> bob2: only current version is there
[03:48] <dell500> dducko, i have Archive Manager open, i clicked Places, and there should be some Other file or osmething?
[03:48] <bob2> psusi: forums people have variouly claimed that X didn't work on any ATI cards and that all the -k8 kernels were unbootable
[03:48] <benplaut> brb
[03:48] <watnou> Aven: thats the compiler
[03:48] <Aven> watnou: ahh ok :)
[03:48] <psusi> bob2: there were over 100 posts in the thread and a dozen people reported that going back fixed it, and located the problem to a particular file that was changed and reporeted it
[03:48] <watnou> Aven: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:48] <dducko> dell500, ok after you hit extract
[03:48] <bob2> psusi: but not one of those dozen people actually filed a bug so it could be fixed?
[03:48] <bob2> that's insanely stupid
[03:49] <bob2> benplaut: didn't work = ?
[03:49] <ecobuntu> anyone know if there are plans to update the ubuntuguide.org for Breezy?
[03:49] <dducko> dell500,  where it says Extract in folder:  click that and choose other
[03:49] <bob2> benplaut: I need specifics...e.g. "when I run javac foo.java, I get $this error..."
[03:49] <Kumo> could anybody help with my keyboard please?
[03:49] <psusi> bob2: I think they did... I dunno... all I know is that they exactly described what is wrong and when it started for me, and said going back a version prior to the final breezy release fixed it... so I want to try
[03:49] <psusi> but can't
[03:49] <dell500> dducko, i need to have a file open or new file or something
[03:49] <bob2> psusi: anyway, if the version you want released with ubuntu, packages.ubuntu.com
[03:49] <max> i was trying to install fglrx-driver like it is on the site but he can't found
[03:49] <max> bob2 do you know?
[03:49] <dducko> just open any rar or zip file
[03:49] <bob2> max: oh god
[03:49] <ecobuntu> unrar
[03:49] <dducko> so you can get the extract menu
[03:50] <cianci> anto9us, i found this site, any help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/41/2005/05/2/320897
[03:50] <psusi> according to the thread, the breakage happened with an update the day before breezy went gold
[03:50] <bob2> max: so X worked until you broke it?
[03:50] <psusi> which is about when it broke for me, with the error message they talk about
[03:50] <bob2> psusi: then they really really need to file a bug so it can be fixed
[03:50] <benplaut> bob2:java -version works, spitting out Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
[03:50] <benplaut> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
[03:50] <bob2> psusi: the package is not on ubuntu.com in an accessble place anymore; you'll need to trust one of them to give it to you, I guess
[03:50] <Linux_whore> what is wx-config?
[03:50] <benplaut> but about:plugins in firefox doesn't show anything
[03:50] <psusi> let me read the 100 posts again, I'm sure I saw a bug reference in there... but it seems it hasn't been fixed yet anyhow so I want to try the older version
[03:50] <Kumo> theine: I did the md5sum stuff but didn't work
[03:50] <bob2> Linux_whore: what are you trying to do?
[03:51] <psusi> hrm... damn... that sucks... the archives don't keep old versions?
[03:51] <bob2> benplaut: did you insrall the plugin package?
[03:51] <bob2> psusi: generally, yes
[03:51] <psusi> what's the point of the force version option in synaptic then? ;)
[03:51] <max> bob2 i reinstalled linux
[03:51] <Linux_whore> bob2, compile a program but i am getting errors from running configure
[03:51] <dabaR> bob2: what man page is good to read to learn about importing screenshots using imagemagick?
[03:51] <benplaut> bob2: pretty sure... i'll check
[03:51] <Aven> omg, it works
[03:51] <Aven> I love you guys!
[03:51] <watnou> hehe
[03:51] <bob2> max: that was silly
[03:51] <Aven> :P
[03:51] <dabaR> bob2: nm.
[03:51] <bob2> Linux_whore: and the name of the program is...
[03:51] <bob2> dabaR: import
[03:51] <dabaR> bob2: thank you.
[03:52] <Linux_whore> bob2, wxbo2k-0.1
[03:52] <bob2> Linux_whore: which is...?
[03:52] <benplaut> bob2: j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin is installed
[03:52] <Linux_whore> a gui for bo2k
[03:52] <max> man.... i'm noobie and i really need linux working what do you want me to do?
[03:52] <max> tryed everything
[03:52] <bob2> Linux_whore: uh, back orifice? this is off-topic.
[03:52] <bob2> max: you installed it from scratch, and X did not work?
[03:53] <lab> adding mp3 support to ubuntu ?
[03:53] <dell500> dducko, how do  you get rar support?
[03:53] <Linux_whore> bob2, its a problem in ubuntu that wont let me configure.
[03:53] <dabaR> lab read what ubotu told yuou
[03:53] <bob2> lab: wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:53] <anto9us> cianci: problem not solved on that thread, I've found another though.. try this one http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List and scroll down
[03:53] <bob2> Linux_whore: you'll have to find help elsewhere, sorry
[03:53] <misfit_toy> dell500, sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[03:53] <lab> dabaR, who what where when ?
[03:53] <lab> thanks boabsta
[03:53] <lab> bob2,
[03:54] <dabaR> lab: a private message from ubotu.
[03:54] <dell500> thanks
[03:54] <dell500> i think i know what you mean now dducko
[03:54] <cianci> anto9us, on the cd, in the ver 4 folder, there is rt2500usb.inf, rt2500usb.sys and WUSB5GV4.cat
[03:54] <max> bob2 i dont understand... but i didnt do nothing at now
[03:54] <cianci> do i have to do anything with the other files? anto9us ?
[03:55] <dducko> dell500, im sure there is a simpler way to do it.. that works though.. but this has prompted me to figure out what it is
[03:55] <Kumo> theine: Do you know what else could I try to fix this please?
[03:55] <anto9us> cianci: copy them all to a folder in your /home
[03:55] <cianci> ok
[03:55] <kyncani> max: real noob, ubuntu did not work out of the box -> try mandrake, you may have more luck
[03:56] <zer0`> how can i clear my dns cache?
[03:56] <abarbaccia> hey all - shouldn't the package build-essential include gcc-3.4 ?
[03:56] <cianci> than what anto9us
[03:56] <farruinn> abarbaccia: nope, it includes gcc4.0
[03:56] <psusi> aha, here is the bug:
[03:57] <psusi> http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17614
[03:57] <stylish> SysInfo: Linux 2.6.12-9-386 | Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz 2399.844 MHz | Mem: 161/507M [||||||||||]  | Diskspace: 43G Free: 36G | Bogomips: 4751.36 | Screen Res: 1024x768 | Procs: 66 |   | Up:  | eth0: In: 0.00M Out: 0.00M
[03:57] <abarbaccia> or the kernel makefile be told to compile with gcc4.0?????
[03:57] <psusi> it's flagged as an upstream problem... but it WAS working so why the heck don't they just revert?
[03:57] <dabaR> bob2: hm, the man page does not tell me what I would like to know. Is it import -root or something like that for a screenshot? Also, it should work if I run: sleep 10;import -root or so?
[03:57] <farruinn> abarbaccia: all of the packages except the kernels in breezy were built with 4.0
[03:57] <abarbaccia> why is that?
[03:57] <farruinn> dunno, ask the devs :)
[03:57] <anto9us> cianci: then type sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/<folder>/rt2500usb.inf
[03:57] <cianci> [ok
[03:57] <ecobuntu> blame canada blame canada
[03:57] <max> yeah yeah yeah thanks for nothing
[03:58] <max> how can i desinstall linux and the boot program ?
[03:58] <glyn> umm I'm having problems with another freak installation using a sh
[03:58] <max> grunu
[03:58] <glyn> it installed something and then there are no directories where it installed and it ate up like 500 megs
[03:58] <cianci> it says rt2500usb.inf is alrealy installed
[03:58] <wickedpuppy> glyn, what is it and what you typed ? and what error you got if you got ?
[03:59] <chemisus> !repos
[03:59] <ubotu> repos is, like, How to add repositories: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto - A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) see also !easysource

[03:59] <glyn> wickedpuppy:sh WineCVS.sh ...I can't remember the error
[03:59] <glyn> wickedpuppy:it's a tool for getting Wine using CVS through a shell script
[03:59] <intelikey> max delete the partition/s that contain linux and boot to dos and run fdisk /mbr
[04:00] <wickedpuppy> glyn, the script is installation script or the app script ?
[04:00] <anto9us> cianci: I can't remember the option to remove an installed driver, type ndiswrapper --help and tell me what it says
[04:00] <glyn> wickedpuppy:installation
[04:00] <max> intelikey thanks
[04:01] <wickedpuppy> glyn, then surely it asked you for the directory for install to
[04:01] <cianci> to remove it -e driver
[04:01] <glyn> wickedpuppy:it didn't
[04:01] <anto9us> cianci: sudo ndiswrapper -e rt2500usb.inf
[04:01] <farruinn> glyn: did you check under /usr/local or /opt?
[04:01] <farruinn> glyn: perhaps reading the script will give you some clues
[04:01] <glyn> I think I need to delete the source tree, but I don't know how
[04:01] <anto9us> cianci: then type sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/<folder>/rt2500usb.inf
[04:02] <cianci> ok
[04:02] <wickedpuppy> glyn, it didn't ? and it ate up 500 MB ?
[04:02] <bob2> dabaR: yes, root for the entire screen
[04:02] <glyn> wickedpuppy:no, yes
[04:02] <wickedpuppy> glyn, where you got it from ? let me see
[04:02] <ecobuntu> b double e double r u n = beer run
[04:02] <dell500> dducko, oh, i understand what you're saying... i'm trying to get a pull down menu from the folders inside the Places menu
[04:03] <glyn> http://winecvs.linux-gamers.net/index.php/Main_Page
[04:03] <dducko> dell500, yeah.. and when you add them in that menu.. they are there under the places menu
[04:03] <dducko> dell500, also just figured out.. and Open dialog box will do it
[04:03] <dducko> dell500, such as gedit
[04:03] <wickedpuppy> glyn, why you need cvs wine btw .... there is wine in repo
[04:04] <dducko> dell500, just File Open and with that Dialog box you can do it
[04:04] <glyn> wickedpuppy:wanted to try winex
[04:04] <Kumo> theine: could you help me please?
[04:04] <glyn> wickedpuppy:cuz I couldn't get an app working with wine
[04:04] <wickedpuppy> glyn, have you read what the script does ?
[04:04] <cianci> anto9us, this is weird, when i go to delete the drivers, it says they aren't installed
[04:04] <dell500> dducko, no no no, i'm wanting a drop menu from say my Documents folder inside the Places menu, from the Documents folder it has a list of files off to the side... aka a drop menu from the folder inside the Places menu
[04:04] <glyn> wickedpuppy:only the basics
[04:05] <cianci> but they are in the /etc/ndiswrapper/ folder
[04:05] <wickedpuppy> glyn, http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=45
[04:05] <anto9us> cianci: did you run both commands?
[04:05] <wickedpuppy> have you seen this page ?
[04:05] <dducko> dell500, oh.. i see.. well just found the right way to do my idea
[04:05] <cianci> both commands? anto9us
[04:05] <anto9us> cianci: sudo ndiswrapper -e rt2500usb.inf
[04:05] <anto9us> cianci: then type sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/<folder>/rt2500usb.inf
[04:05] <glyn> wickedpuppy:Yeah
[04:05] <wickedpuppy> The script downloads with wget a archiv defaults.tar.gz with the need install scripts. After that you should see its installation menu.
[04:05] <wickedpuppy> it says s here
[04:05] <cianci> right after that?
[04:06] <anto9us> cianci: do those and tell me what ndiswrapper -l says
[04:06] <wickedpuppy> so you saw the installation menu ?
[04:06] <glyn> wickedpuppy:yeah I got to step 5 out of 7
[04:06] <dducko> dell500,  just to clarify the right way to do what i was doing before I try to figure out how to do what you want
[04:06] <dducko> dell500, just open nautilus and the bookmarks option at the top
[04:06] <Toma-> whats the best protocol to use when fiole sharing between 2 ubuntu computers on a lan? NFS?
[04:06] <wickedpuppy> step 5 ? meaning you got cvscedega ?
[04:06] <cianci> ndiswrapper -l says wusb54g - invalid driver
[04:06] <SirGrok> Hello all
[04:07] <glyn> wickedpuppy:no
[04:07] <anto9us> cianci: ok, I've found an alternative ;) https://wiki.ubuntu.com//Rt2500WirelessCardsHowTo/
[04:07] <ecobuntu> dude to people hook up on irc?
[04:07] <glyn> wickedpuppy:it was compiling
[04:07] <wickedpuppy> glyn, so you are looking for it then i suppose ?
[04:07] <SirGrok> I am trying two different things.
[04:07] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I've pretty much given up on that because it takes too much space
[04:07] <jsubl2> toma yes nfs
[04:07] <wickedpuppy> glyn, cedega won't take up much
[04:07] <Toma-> rightio
[04:07] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I just want to wipe the installation and go back to wine so I can use my other apps
[04:07] <glyn> wickedpuppy:well the cvscedega does
[04:07] <ecobuntu> !girls
[04:07] <ubotu> ecobuntu: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[04:07] <ecobuntu> !girls
[04:08] <SirGrok> I want to get rid of all the .m3u files in a certain directory on my harddrive (including subdirectories).... I don't know how to tweak the remove command to do that.
[04:08] <jsubl2> ecobuntu, don't play with the bot
[04:08] <wickedpuppy> glyn, ok so which step are you at now ?
[04:08] <ecobuntu> sad
[04:08] <ecobuntu> the bot said "do they come in 5" earlier to me
[04:08] <intelikey> ubotu has neither port nor dongle
[04:08] <ubotu> intelikey: I don't know, could you explain it?
[04:08] <ecobuntu> i was going to reply...i sure hope so!
[04:08] <tk401> hey everyone!
[04:08] <glyn> wickedpuppy:none right now I tried going back to 1 and 2 on a different profile and the same profile and it doesn't uninstall the source tree
[04:08] <morgs^^> hi all
[04:09] <wickedpuppy> glyn, you want to uninstall then ?
[04:09] <glyn> wickedpuppy:yeah
[04:09] <tk401> can someone help me with a quick problem? i need a shell script to start when gnome starts up and for it to not ask for the root password. how do i do this?
[04:09] <cianci> anto9us, thanks for trying so hard, i have to go now
[04:09] <cianci> bye
[04:09] <wickedpuppy> glyn, that page got how to uninstall wincvs and source tree ...
[04:09] <niels_> all: how does one log in as root on kubuntu???
[04:09] <morgs^^> when i install smb samba for filesharing to MS windows, ubuntu asks me for a password .... is it my root or user password ?
[04:10] <farruinn> tk401: out of curiousity, why do you need that?
[04:10] <dabaR> !+root
[04:10] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, root is disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> tk401, thats a security risk ... btw why you wanna log in as root ? are you root now ?
[04:10] <kevman> Does anyone know of a Linux Shoackwave player?
[04:10] <tk401> to enable my wireless card AFTER X starts otherwise it crashes the computer
[04:10] <intelikey> tk401 you could put it in /etc/X11/xinit.d/     or what ever it is.
[04:10] <ecobuntu> so drake is a dragon huh?
[04:11] <glyn> wickedpuppy:hmm where at?
[04:11] <SirGrok> Anyone know those command parameters.
[04:11] <ecobuntu> i like drake as a male duck better
[04:11] <tk401> i'm not root now
[04:11] <ecobuntu> dragons are kinda lame
[04:11] <wickedpuppy> glyn, look at the Issues
[04:11] <SirGrok> I usually fiddle with it until I get it right, but fiddling with rm isn't a good idea.
[04:11] <ecobuntu> how about the uplifting unicorns for 6.10?
[04:11] <stylish> mandrke is sick
[04:11] <wickedpuppy> tk401, pls don't ever surf irc as root ... its totally totally not safe
[04:11] <tk401> i just need to run "sudo modprobe ath_pci"
[04:11] <tk401> i'm not root wickedpuppy
[04:11] <_native_> root should be truly disabled by default. cause now its not all the user has to do is sudo passwd root and then su.
[04:11] <wickedpuppy> oph
[04:11] <wickedpuppy> lol
[04:11] <wickedpuppy> read wrongly ... sorry
[04:11] <chemisus> hmm, whenever i try to make menuconfig it says i need ncurses-devel package. but when i search for it, its not finding it. any ideas?
[04:11] <tk401> it's ok
[04:12] <bob2> chemisus: libncurses5-dev
[04:12] <chemisus> bob2, thansk
[04:12] <chemisus> er thanks
[04:12] <bob2> chemisus: but what do you want that isn't in the default ubuntu kernel?
[04:12] <tk401> intelikely: so will that run it as root?
[04:12] <chemisus> bob2, dunno, this is my first time doing this.
[04:12] <anto9us> tk401: type sudo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
[04:12] <intelikey> _native_ or sudo bash
[04:12] <_native_> yeah
[04:12] <anto9us> tk401: that will make it load every time you boot
[04:12] <bob2> chemisus: so why are you compiling one at all?
[04:12] <tk401> anto9us: will that load before or after X starts?
[04:13] <glyn> wickedpuppy:There we go, thanks
[04:13] <chemisus> bob2, what else should i do?
[04:13] <anto9us> tk401: before
[04:13] <chemisus> bob2, im just experimenting hehe
[04:13] <tk401> oh, I need to start after
[04:13] <_native_> i disable su on my systems.
[04:13] <wickedpuppy> glyn, they probably got all the problems that users might get ... :P
[04:13] <tk401> because otherwise it crashes
[04:13] <glyn> wickedpuppy:it doesn't say anything about it taking over 500 megs :S
[04:13] <bob2> chemisus: eh? the default one is fine for 99% of people.  if you don't have a specific issue, there's no point trying...
[04:13] <chelsea> hello
[04:14] <SirGrok> I am trying to remove .m3u files from a directory, anyone know how (With a command.)
[04:14] <bob2> SirGrok: rm *.m3u...
[04:14] <intelikey> _native_ you do realize that if root were disabled, ALL admin tasks would be impossable, as well as installing/uninstalling system wide apps.
[04:14] <_native_> yes
[04:14] <SirGrok> Thank you bob2
[04:14] <stylish> im better then you
[04:15] <_native_> lol
[04:15] <ubuntu> hey guys, i'm just wondering how to mount a usb drive, its a ntfs HD in a usb enclosure
[04:15] <dducko> dell500, sorry I cant find anything on it
[04:15] <intelikey> _native_ if you want to disable root look in /etc/security/   and have at it.
[04:15] <anto9us> tk401: it may need your country code
[04:15] <SacredChild> hello pplz
[04:16] <wickedpuppy> glyn, what else did you install besides wincvs itself ?
[04:16] <_native_> im all good man.
[04:16] <SirGrok> bob2,  does that command scan subdirectories?
[04:16] <glyn> wickedpuppy:the rest of my space is being taken up by packages mostly
[04:16] <Phil|VM> usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[04:16] <Phil|VM> can i mount that ?
[04:16] <glyn> wickedpuppy:like stuff I need basically
[04:16] <SacredChild> whata do you pplz talk about in here?
[04:16] <glyn> wickedpuppy:it's only a 2gig partition
[04:16] <wickedpuppy> glyn, wincvs is a program that will get other programs .... cedega by itself isn't that big ... its not even more than 100 mb
[04:17] <SirGrok> SacredChild, Listen. You can find out without talking ;-)
[04:17] <robotgeek_away> SacredChild: this is a support channel
[04:17] <glyn> wickedpuppy:well why does it take over 500 when I try to install it?
[04:17] <SacredChild> koaay
[04:17] <SacredChild> okaay**
[04:17] <wickedpuppy> glyn, how you know ? paste me the size
[04:17] <SacredChild> this is kinda GAY
[04:17] <dabaR> SacredChild: /topic
[04:17] <dabaR> ttyl SacredChild
[04:17] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I can't really do that..the CVS script itself is under a mb but it takes over 500 to make make depend and make install
[04:17] <anto9us> SacredChild: your thoughts are your own :)
[04:18] <SacredChild> i dont get the point of this chat room thingie
[04:18] <Kumo> hey guys can help with a little problem with my keyboard please?
[04:18] <bob2> SirGrok: no
[04:18] <intelikey> Phil|VM if you want to mount a usb disk   it should be listed as /dev/sd*
[04:18] <SirGrok> SacredChild, Noone is forcing you to be in here. If you would like, show yourself the door.
[04:18] <_native_> shut-up and listen you will see the point.
[04:18] <SacredChild> GODDD
[04:18] <wickedpuppy> glyn, then paste me the size of the final directory
[04:18] <bob2> _native_: chill please...
[04:18] <bob2> SacredChild: uh, enough
[04:18] <SacredChild> lets talk about like MUSIC or sumting else
[04:18] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I would but it also takes like an hour
[04:19] <glyn> lol
[04:19] <Phil|VM> intelikey,  would you mind if i pm'd you what i get when i type mount
[04:19] <_native_> :-)
[04:19] <SacredChild> im troll
[04:19] <bob2> SacredChild: this channel is for ubuntu support.  if you don't have an ubuntu question, please leave.
[04:19] <SacredChild> im not troll
[04:19] <intelikey> sure
[04:19] <wickedpuppy> glyn, du -s /dir
[04:19] <robotgeek> ah, there!
[04:19] <SirGrok> bob2, I am sorry to keep bothing you with these stupid musings, but could you show me how to include them?
[04:19] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I don't have the directory anymore
[04:19] <wickedpuppy> lol
[04:19] <wickedpuppy> ok ok
[04:19] <glyn> wickedpuppy:and I can only get to a max of step 6 out of 7 anyways
[04:20] <gssp`> help
[04:20] <glyn> wickedpuppy:so I imagine the final size would be like 700 megs
[04:20] <glyn> ridiculous
[04:20] <bob2> SirGrok: find -name "*.m3u" -print0 | xargs -o rm
[04:20] <bob2> SirGrok: be very very careful, tho
[04:20] <SirGrok> Thank you sir.
[04:20] <gssp`> how can i install window-based programs into ubuntu?
[04:20] <wickedpuppy> glyn, really ... not impossible ... that will make it more than most distros
[04:20] <SirGrok> gssp`, wine or cedega;
[04:21] <gssp`> badger
[04:21] <SirGrok> Voodoo Badger?
[04:21] <wickedpuppy> gssp`, which program you wanna install ? photoshop or office ?
[04:21] <gssp`> any windows-based prog
[04:21] <Quest-Master> gssp`: Look for Crossover Office
[04:21] <bob2> gssp`: what are you hoping to run?
[04:22] <benplaut> ditto to Quest-Master
[04:22] <gssp`> i would like to run for example print artist
[04:22] <Quest-Master> gssp`: Allows just about perfect installation and usage of Photoshop AND Microsoft Office in addition to many other Windows only apps.
[04:22] <gssp`> or encarta
[04:22] <glyn> wickedpuppy:I've been stupidly struggling for days trying to get wine to work with a program that requires VB and Flash support
[04:22] <anto9us> gssp`: there's an application list on winehq.org
[04:22] <regeya> whoo.
[04:22] <gssp`> thanks
[04:22] <SirGrok> bob2,  is there somewhere that I can go for a good run down on commands to do different things... I don't want to always have to leech on others' evpertise.
[04:22] <gssp`> but i cant use my windows cd on my ubuntu system?
[04:23] <Quest-Master> gssp`: You can in addition to Crossover
[04:23] <regeya> gssp`: I've always believed that if you want to run windows, you should run windows.
[04:23] <gssp`> how?
[04:23] <sells> does anyone know how I can access my linux system from my windows pda or a windows system
[04:23] <wickedpuppy> glyn, in the script ... after you installed... it will remove the .tar.gz files that it downloaded
[04:23] <anto9us> gssp`: you might be able to install windows in a virtual machine such as vmware (commercial) or qemu (gpl)
[04:23] <SirGrok> gssp`, Havew you considered dual booting?
[04:23] <calamari> how (from the command line) can I get a list of installed files for an installed package?
[04:23] <dabaR> sells: access in what way?
[04:23] <gssp`> not yet
[04:23] <bob2> SirGrok: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandlineHowto, I guess
[04:23] <glyn> wickedpuppy:are those really that big though?
[04:23] <bob2> SirGrok: it seems a bit bare, tho
[04:23] <sells> dabaR: ssh or gftp kind of thing
[04:24] <niels__> all: sorry, i keep getting disconnected... ok, so once more: how do i get in "root mode" in kubuntu... i keep getting a message telling me i have to be in root mode in order to install this stupid printer driver which i have been trying to install for like2 hours now.... please someone help!
[04:24] <sells> dabaR: network
[04:24] <gssp`> where can i find these virtual machines?
[04:24] <wickedpuppy> glyn, really ... i am asking ya if ya telling me if its really 700 mb! lol
[04:24] <solidgroove> niels_, use sudo
[04:24] <Madpilot> niels_: use sudo & your own user pw
[04:24] <wickedpuppy> glyn, if its 700 mb ... how long did it take to download them ?
[04:24] <Madpilot> !tell niels_ about sudo
[04:24] <dabaR> sells: well, install the servers. openssh-server is a ssh server, and ssh supports sftp which is what you should really use. from window, you an use a terminal emulator, or the built in "dos" command prompt.
[04:24] <bob2> niels__: why are you installing a printer driver?
[04:24] <bob2> niels__: you're sure ubuntu doesn't have a driver already?
[04:25] <glyn> wickedpuppy:a while
[04:25] <niels__> bob2: so that i can hook up to my roomates printer and print a document
[04:25] <wickedpuppy> glyn, your bandwidth speed is ?
[04:25] <solidgroove> niels_, use CUPS driver
[04:25] <glyn> wickedpuppy:over 100kb/s
[04:25] <sells> dabaR: dos, how so?
[04:25] <phinnaeu1> what is the procedure for gettting "terminal" to show up when you right click on your desktop?
[04:25] <niels__> bob2: i am on kubuntu, and the printer manager does not have the canon 1560 listed
[04:26] <wickedpuppy> glyn, a while is ... ? an hour ?
[04:26] <bob2> phinnaeu1: apt-cache search nautilus terminal
[04:26] <bob2> phinnaeu1: install that package
[04:26] <anto9us> gssp`: google is your friend, but vmware.com and qemu is in the repos
[04:26] <niels__> bob2: make that i560
[04:26] <glyn> wickedpuppy:maybe not quite that long but it seems like it
[04:26] <dabaR> sells: well, for ssh not really, there is putty(google for putty download) and for ftp, windows has a built in client in cl.
[04:26] <niels__> solidgroove: use sudo how and where?
[04:26] <Vaske_Car> is there a way to see number of hits monthly for some website?
[04:26] <gssp`> thanks guys
[04:26] <sells> dabaR: cl?
[04:27] <gssp`> and gals
[04:27] <dabaR> sells: command line
[04:27] <sells> dabaR: right
[04:27] <dabaR> gssp`: better inclusive language is thanks everyone
[04:27] <solidgroove> niels_, sudo command you want to run as root
[04:27] <sells> dabaR: is putty graphical
[04:27] <Toma--> !nfs
[04:27] <ubotu> from memory, nfs is see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[04:27] <zer0`> how can i clear my dns cache?
[04:27] <dabaR> sells: please try
[04:27] <niels__> solidgroove: i am using cups driver
[04:27] <sells> dabaR: cool, no problem
[04:28] <Aven> hey
[04:28] <wjesusaxl> guys does anybody know about a prestige 645 zyxel router?
[04:28] <Aven> what's the command again to make a directory perm root?
[04:28] <dabaR> owned by root?
[04:28] <Aven> yeah...
[04:28] <wickedpuppy> glyn, the download should be about 300 mb then ... wonder what they got inside ...
[04:28] <farruinn> Aven: sudo chown root:root <file>
[04:28] <niels__> solidgroove: ok, but what is the command for that? i'm not a programmer...
[04:28] <dabaR> grr
[04:29] <dabaR> :
[04:29] <bob2> Vaske_Car: run awstats on your weblogs
[04:29] <Aven> ah ok, thanks farruinn
[04:29] <solidgroove> $ sudo 'command as root'
[04:29] <calamari> found it.. dpkg -L package
[04:30] <niels__> solidgroove: 'command not found' it sayd
[04:30] <niels__> said
[04:31] <MagicFab> Cheers from Montreal
[04:32] <Kumo> can anybody help with my keyboard plaes? I have just updated to breeze and now is not working well, I cannot login
[04:32] <dabaR> sells: the gnu screen program is something useful for remote logins(among other things), it allows you to start other terminals, like a window manager for command line, once you are set up, and logged in remotely, ask me to tell you the basic commands.
[04:32] <Aven> farruinn: it still doesn't work ;\
[04:32] <niels__> solidgroove: 'command not found' it says
[04:33] <calamari> weird.. the breezy coreutils package seems to contain md5sum.textutils but not md5sum.  I had to create symbolic link for it.
[04:33] <GTroy_> is there a gui compression tool?
[04:33] <phoenix3051> has anyone gotten qemu/kqemu runing windowsXP
[04:33] <kdevil> niels__: What exactly did you type?
[04:33] <Aven> ok, I installed apache2 and to manage all the files and stuff, the Documentroot is /var/www
[04:33] <calamari> phoenix3051: I have it running win2003
[04:33] <Aven> but only way to add and del files is to be root..
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> GTroy_, archive manager
[04:33] <intelikey> solidgroove don't you just love that   :)
[04:33] <niels__> kdevil: what solidgroove wrote above: sudo command as root
[04:33] <GTroy_> hehe
[04:33] <Aven> so, what's the command to perm allow me to access that file?
[04:33] <GTroy_> wickedpuppy: very cool
[04:33] <duende> Help : sudo will not work for me for some reason.  when i issue any command with sudo, it doesn't ask for password nor does the command work.  i tried with multiple users, and i don't have a password set for root.  any ideas?
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> Aven, you want to make /var/www owned by normal user ?
[04:33] <MagicFab> Kumo: boot in single user mode, setup your keyboard a us english, reboot
[04:33] <Madpilot> Aven: use sudo to move, or use sudo chown
[04:33] <phoenix3051> calamari: did u have to tweak anything from a stock breezy install?
[04:33] <MagicFab> phoenix3051: not easy, but doable
[04:34] <calamari> phoenix3051: oh wait I misread.. I'm not using kqemu, just plain qemu
[04:34] <Aven> Madpilot: but someone the other day gave me a real easy again that will allow me to edit and add files without having to be root
[04:34] <phoenix3051> duende: use your password
[04:34] <calamari> phoenix3051: to get kqemu working you'll need kernel sources, iirc
[04:34] <niels__> kdevil: i typed sudo command as root
[04:35] <MagicFab> phoenix3051: you need to have the service pack 1&2 as a separate install file available on a CD image
[04:35] <dabaR> Aven: well, then you want it to not be owned by root, not vice versa
[04:35] <MagicFab> phoenix3051: read the docs thoroughly
[04:35] <phoenix3051> calamari: yeah, its pretty handy to get working and worth the speed increase over qemu
[04:35] <calamari> phoenix3051: there is a #qemu channel that might be able to assist .. they're pretty cool
[04:35] <kdevil> niels__: You should type "sudo" (no quotes), followed by whatever command it was you needed to install the driver.
[04:35] <intelikey> duende [ctrl] +[alt] +[delete]    and at the boot prompt [esc]  'E'  and add  1   or  single to the append line and 'B' to boot   then when it boots into single mode and drops you in a root console  set the root passwd and reboot.
[04:35] <duende> phoenix3051: no, see, sudo doesn't ask me for a password.  i worked earlier, but no longer works anymore. i tried to reboot, nothing.  when i execute a command, it just goes back to the shell with no prompt nor error
[04:35] <Aven> hmm
[04:36] <Aven> well, is there a way to change /var/www to another directory?
[04:36] <phoenix3051> MagicFab: I will have them on CD when I try the install just checking to see if there are any nasty gotchas
[04:36] <duende> intelikey: how would i fix the sudo problem?
[04:36] <bob2> Aven: uh
[04:36] <bob2> Aven: make your user own it
[04:36] <phoenix3051> calamari: cheers
[04:36] <niels__> kdevil: i tried that... did not work...
[04:36] <perfect_guy> hi
[04:36] <perfect_guy> hello
[04:36] <intelikey> from the root account
[04:36] <Aven> bob2: exactly what I want!
[04:36] <BigMonkey> Hello
[04:36] <perfect_guy> im looking a caht met
[04:36] <Aven> how do I do that? :P
[04:36] <MagicFab> phoenix3051: that's a nasty one - WinXP has licence checks that prevent it from running in a VM unless you have it with SP2
[04:36] <Kumo> MagicFab: ok I'll try it using dpkg-reconfigue right?
[04:36] <perfect_guy> can u my chatmet
[04:36] <Aven> (comment?)
[04:37] <bob2> Aven: chown username /var/www/
[04:37] <dabaR> Aven: same as the way you made it owened by root, just replace root with your username in that command...
[04:37] <wickedpuppy> Aven, people told ya ... chmod
[04:37] <Madpilot> Aven: chown - read man chown for details
[04:37] <bob2> perfect_guy: this is not a pickup joint
[04:37] <Aven> oh, heh
[04:37] <wickedpuppy> Aven, Madpilot told ya up above
[04:37] <niels__> kdevil: nevermind.... just tried again, this time it worked.... i think, thanks...
[04:37] <Aven> yes, I know
[04:37] <intelikey> duende you must be root to fix sudo.   so fix your root account or reboot to single and just fix sudo.     but i'd fix root.
[04:37] <Aven> I never placed my username for the "root" :P
[04:37] <MagicFab> !singlemode
[04:37] <ubotu> MagicFab: Do they come in packets of five?
[04:38] <phoenix3051> MagicFab: Cheers for that, I'll build a slipstream image with SP2 then try the install.
[04:38] <Aven> there we go, ty
[04:38] <Lord_Maynoth_> anyone here know if dapper will automatically detect your windows partitions without having to download that script like in breezy
[04:38] <duende> intelikey: okay, i'll give it a shot.  how would i re-scramble the root password afterwards?
[04:39] <intelikey> duende why would you?    set it to something secure and leave it. you may need it again.
[04:39] <duende> intelikey: well, i assume there was a reason why it's scrambled to begin with, but okay
[04:40] <ecobuntu> breezy automatically detected my windows partition
[04:41] <kdevil> Question: I have Breezy and a wireless USB adapter (Zonet ZEW2500P, Ralink chipset), and no matter whether I try to get it working through ndiswrapper or the open-source driver the result is the same: I connect and get an IP address, but I can't ping or do anything else.

[04:50] <kdevil> Although, when I get that, if you wait ~1min it goes away and gets replaced with "disconnected".
[04:51] <MagicFab> mikecere: I doubt anyone is having that specific problem here right now
[04:51] <pqx> so
[04:51] <pqx> mikecere
[04:51] <MagicFab> mikecere: Did you check the forums/google ? try using the error message as keywords
[04:51] <esc_ape> is there anyway to open a windows .exe self-extracting file?
[04:51] <MagicFab> esc_ape: install wine
[04:52] <mikecere> MagicFab: yes i have, a couple others have the same problem, no solutions
[04:52] <MagicFab> esc_ape: then from command line: wine <command.exe>
[04:52] <esc_ape> thanks!
[04:52] <MagicFab> esc_ape: then ask the publisher of such files to use .zip or .tar.gz instead!
[04:53] <kdevil> mikecere: What are you trying to use ndiswrapper on?
[04:53] <Kumo> MagicFab: You did it man, my problem was solved, thank you very much
[04:53] <mikecere> Netgear WG111 USB adapter
[04:53] <MagicFab> mikecere: which chipset/card brand ?
[04:53] <BigMonkey> At home I'm moving from FC3 to ubuntu.  Evolution asks me to set everything up again, including my accounts. Suggestions?
[04:53] <thomaslsamoht> hello
[04:53] <MagicFab> Kumo: I had a similar problem using a french keyboard. Problem was my password used special chars!
[04:54] <MagicFab> BigMonkey: what's the old and the new version #s of Ev ?
[04:54] <mikecere> kdevil and MagicFab: Netgear WG111 USB adapter (in case you didnt see)
[04:54] <thomaslsamoht> i was wondering if somebody could guide me through a wine installation, i've tried the instructions on the winehq site, i've read through countless forums, but i still have no wine.
[04:54] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[04:54] <MagicFab> !wine
[04:54] <thomaslsamoht> !wine
[04:54] <thomaslsamoht> ?
[04:55] <MagicFab> !tell thomaslsamoht about wine
[04:55] <bob2> huh?
[04:55] <bob2> sudo apt-get install wine
[04:55] <bob2> all done
[04:55] <BigMonkey> MagicFab Don't know the old.  It was a recent (6 mos. ago) install, but ubuntu seems to think it was before 2.0
[04:55] <MagicFab> bob2: !tell is a shortcut with information linking to the wiki etc
[04:55] <_native_> duh i just remembered man capabilites. :-P
[04:55] <pqx> no command wine man -k nothin=g list
[04:56] <Kumo> MagicFab: I hope this bug would be solve soon, meanwhile you save my day, see you and thanks again
[04:56] <MagicFab> BigMonkey: I'd backup both the old and new, then try using the old config files in the new setup
[04:56] <NoUse> BigMonkey wouldn't surprise me if fedora put the evolution configs in strange place
[04:56] <kdevil> mikecere: Does it give you that error all the time?  Mine gives me that if I unplug it, and for around 30 seconds after I plug it back in.
[04:57] <BigMonkey> MagicFab All of the configs?  I've tried replacing both evolution and .evolution with the old.
[04:57] <MagicFab> About wine: To install a recent version, go through the tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=29996 ; for more info and apps that work with it, see http://www.winehq.org, or for support go to #winehq)
[04:57] <MagicFab> BigMonkey: just .evolution
[04:57] <mikecere> kdevil, the error occurs when i click on the network icon at the top, every time, unless i change it from wlan0 to eth0, then it works
[04:57] <medgno> evolution also stores data in gconf
[04:57] <MagicFab> BigMonkey: but I don't know enough about Evolution to guarantee that .evolution contains the email setups (as opposed to the mails themselves)
[04:58] <BigMonkey> I was used to easy upgrades, but I've been in the RH world for a while.
[04:58] <kdevil> mikecere: I'm betting that if you click that icon and go to Configure, wlan0 isn't listed.  Am I right?
[04:58] <MagicFab> BigMonkey: this I would call _migration_, eh :)
[04:59] <Inchabod> How do I change mirror and also look at list of mirrors?
[04:59] <Inchabod> for apt?
[04:59] <MagicFab> !mirrors
[04:59] <ubotu> mirrors is, like, repository mirrors can be found through http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:59] <mikecere> kdevil: :-/ yes, you're right, and i'm thinking i know what i'm doing wrong
[04:59] <WhyvasLT> can someone query me, i need to test something
[04:59] <BigMonkey> It might be in gconf or somewhere else, because when I saved the whole directory and switched it to the new user, I got my mail ok.  But the desktop was messed up
[04:59] <mikecere> kdevil: i removed ndiswrapper from modules
[05:00] <deang> Anyone here setup TurboGears?
[05:00] <MagicFab> deang: what r u trying to do ?
[05:00] <pqx> mikecere in Ubuntu .exe file can be decompressed?
[05:00] <MagicFab> deang: just ask away ;)
[05:01] <pqx> and how if yes
[05:01] <dabaR> if someone has a xorg.conf that supports resolutions higher than 1024x800, and could pastebin that, I would appreciate it.
[05:01] <MagicFab> pqx: I think I told you earlier
[05:01] <BigMonkey> I suppose there aren't that many trying to migrate from RH to ubuntu.  I thought you guys might have had other folks with the same problem.
[05:01] <bob2> MagicFab: yes, I know
[05:01] <pqx> magicfab i'm lost again sorry how is that possible>
[05:01] <pqx> ?
[05:02] <mikecere> pqx: what are you trying to decompress?
[05:02] <MagicFab> pqx: Wine is an emulator with basic support for executing Windows apps
[05:02] <deang> MagicFab: I installed python2.4 from Synaptics, then TG's ez_setup.py failed.*  Just got python2.4-dev and trying again.   (No /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile)
[05:02] <MagicFab> pqx: It's enough to run .exe self-extracting files
[05:02] <budluva> can someone tell me what this error mears? ...ImportError: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:02] <budluva> does that mean i hdont have libssl?
[05:02] <nickrud> BigMonkey, it's something the evolution guys are working on: http://www.go-evolution.org/Evo2.6
[05:02] <MagicFab> budluva: missing library
[05:03] <intelikey> why wouldn't unzip work on a .exe zip file......  it does in m$ os.
[05:03] <MagicFab> budluva: trying searching for libssl in synaptic, install it
[05:03] <BigMonkey> nickrud Waaah! Migrating too early, drat!
[05:03] <MagicFab> pqx: you need to install wine
[05:03] <thomaslsamoht> k
[05:03] <intelikey> why wouldn't unzip work on a .exe zip file......  it does in m$ os.
[05:03] <thomaslsamoht> its downloading shit
[05:03] <MagicFab> pqx: do you use command-0line or GUI ?
[05:03] <thomaslsamoht> it wouldn't install open gl
[05:03] <thomaslsamoht> or libgtk
[05:03] <nickrud> it is odd, having user config stuff under different directory trees :(
[05:04] <zer0`> how can i clear my dns cache?
[05:04] <MagicFab> intelikey: have you tried it ?
[05:04] <thomaslsamoht> will it fail the install?
[05:04] <Earthen> I need help to uninstall a program that apt-get is having trouble with
[05:04] <pqx> magiC fab gui
[05:04] <MagicFab> pqx: start synpatic
[05:04] <intelikey> MagicFab i don't even have a .exe file here.   so no i haven't
[05:05] <thomaslsamoht> wine install: opengl and libgtk failed to install, will it fail my compile?
[05:05] <thomaslsamoht> could it be because i have newer versions?
[05:05] <intelikey> MagicFab have you ?
[05:05] <MagicFab> intelikey: just telling pqx about a way I know works - unzip may work too
[05:05] <intelikey> k
[05:05] <MagicFab> pqx: search for "wine"
[05:05] <intelikey> i was just sujesting he try unzip
[05:05] <budluva> MagicFab, libssl0.9.7 is already the newest version.
[05:05] <diesel> I am trying to change the default window manager from metacity to sawfish.  I did this back in gnome 2.10, but when I used gconf the key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default *is deprecated*.  What is the proper way to change the default window manager in gnome 2.12?
[05:05] <budluva> MagicFab, apparently i have libssl already
[05:06] <MagicFab> budluva: out of ideas
[05:06] <budluva> MagicFab, ImportError: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:06] <pqx> Package xlibs-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:06] <pqx> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:06] <pqx> is only available from another source
[05:06] <pqx> However the following packages replace it:
[05:06] <pqx>   xutils
[05:06] <pqx> E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate
[05:06] <mikecere> MagicFab, pqx: you need to add universal repositories before you can find wine
[05:06] <dabaR> libssl-dev?
[05:06] <pqx>  is that ok ?
[05:06] <budluva> MagicFab, can i spoof it to think its 0.9.6?
[05:06] <MagicFab> pqx do not paste here
[05:06] <wickedpuppy> pqx, pls don't paste here
[05:06] <MagicFab> use http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[05:07] <pqx> k
[05:07] <MagicFab> mikecere is right

[05:08] <thomaslsamoht> fab can you tell me why my compile failed?
[05:08] <y0z7> just got ubuntu installed onto a toshiba laptop.. any ideas why flash in firefox only shows half the flash image?
[05:08] <thomaslsamoht> is it because the opengl and libgtk failed?
[05:08] <y0z7> half is fine, the other half is just a blank square..
[05:08] <nickrud> farruinn, I don't think you want the equals sign
[05:08] <wickedpuppy> thomaslsamoht, paste the command you did pls
[05:08] <MagicFab> thomaslsamoht: do you have the basic dev stuff installed ?
[05:08] <nickrud> arg,  nw
[05:08] <nickrud> nm
[05:09] <thomaslsamoht> i followed the guide somebody pointed me to
[05:09] <thomaslsamoht> it downloaded the source files
[05:09] <farruinn> nickrud: I didn't think so either, but that's how it is in the gnome.desktop session
[05:09] <thomaslsamoht> and started compiling
[05:09] <thomaslsamoht> and failed like 2 seconds in
[05:09] <farruinn> thomaslsamoht: missing a development package?
[05:09] <wickedpuppy> thomaslsamoht, first .. which guide ... second ... paste the command you typed to compile
[05:09] <dabaR> and the error
[05:10] <nickrud> yeah, it is, I was skimmed, and was thinking .xsession. saw the .desktop after

[05:10] <Nogimics> Hey anyone here who uses FreeNX?

[05:10] <bimberi> aye
[05:11] <thomaslsamoht> i'll try that bimberi
[05:11] <Nogimics> bimberi can I pm you please
[05:11] <farruinn> thomaslsamoht: and what about the other packages it lists (xlibs-dev), did you install those?
[05:11] <bimberi> Nogimics: ok
[05:11] <dabaR> Nogimics: keeping the questions in the channel often yields better answers.
[05:11] <thomaslsamoht> i followed the instructions as they were written
[05:12] <thomaslsamoht> in order
[05:12] <thomaslsamoht> k essential build completed
[05:12] <zer0`> how can i clear my dns cache?
[05:12] <thomaslsamoht> i probably should have noted i'm running an amd64 3500+
[05:12] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[05:12] <blaq> does smartbootmanager support network installation or samba shares?
[05:13] <dabaR> zer0`: why anyhow?
[05:13] <ecobuntu> how come gdesklets don't know edmoton, ab for weather but they know red deer, ab?
[05:14] <ecobuntu> edmoton = edmonton

[05:14] <budluva> ecobuntu, do they have calgary?
[05:14] <thomaslsamoht> not in menu
[05:14] <ecobuntu> yeah they have calgary
[05:15] <budluva> hrmm
[05:15] <Nogimics> ok ill ask in here too, but not sure how many use FreenX
[05:15] <ecobuntu> it says ambiguous
[05:15] <Chizn> wickedpuppy, i think its really funny
[05:15] <budluva> was thinkin maybe instead of having ed and cg they just put red deer as its in the middle :P
[05:15] <wickedpuppy> Chizn, pls stick to ubuntu/linux questions here pls ...
[05:15] <ecobuntu> must be too many edmonton's in canada
[05:15] <Chizn> commie, lol

[05:16] <axisys> wickedpuppy: typo sorry :-)
[05:16] <Nogimics> It might be my imagination but it seems my process's list is getting longer, and I think its because im not logging out of these sessions and starting new ones all the time?
[05:16] <thomaslsamoht> doesn't vlc support quicktime?
[05:16] <thomaslsamoht> and mplayer?
[05:16] <drcode> He is looking for free web site where he can upload php nuker and also get mysql db space for free, any idea?
[05:16] <budluva> libpng.so.2
[05:16] <bigboote> Anyone know which package installs libmp3lame.so?
[05:16] <ecobuntu> !tell thomaslsamoht about w32codecs
[05:16] <budluva> would that be in the libpng2 package?
[05:16] <wickedpuppy> drcode, then get phpnuke ... not nuker
[05:16] <budluva> there's tons of libpng packages
[05:16] <dabaR> zer0`: no such thing. just refresh in a browser, afaik.
[05:16] <budluva> not sure which one i need, anyone know?
[05:17] <diesel> How do I set the default window manager in Gnome 2.12?
[05:17] <ecobuntu> drake = duck

[05:18] <zer0`> bigboote liblame0
[05:18] <drcode> sotrry
[05:18] <wickedpuppy> LoneWolf071, why not ask in #apache ?
[05:18] <drcode> are U sure irsii is for console mode also?
[05:18] <LoneWolf071> cause no one talks in there
[05:18] <wickedpuppy> drcode, irssi is only for console mode
[05:18] <zer0`> bigboote apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search libmp3lame.so
[05:18] <CaBlGuY-sleep> night all

[05:19] <ecobuntu> is opera open source now and does it still have all those damn advertisements all over it?
[05:19] <PHZN`away> What is the package that I need to install in order to be able to SSH to my machine remotely?
[05:19] <wickedpuppy> ecobuntu, nope ... neither in windows version ...
[05:19] <wickedpuppy> PHZN`away, ssh
[05:19] <MagicFab> ecobuntu: it's not opensource but it's free (of charge) - no ads
[05:20] <PHZN`away> wickedpuppy, isn't that what I need to connect out to other machines?
[05:20] <PHZN`away> I want to connect to MY machine from another machine.
[05:20] <wickedpuppy> PHZN`away, you need ssh server then
[05:20] <bigboote> zer0`: doing that now; in the meantime there doesn't seem to be a 'liblame0' package...
[05:20] <K_Dallas> Q: what program would you suggest for cataloguing CD,DVDs? right now i use gwhere which works on both linux and windows. thanks
[05:20] <farruinn> PHZN`away: openssh-server on the computer you want to connect to and openssh-client on the machine you're connecting from
[05:20] <PHZN`away> farruinn, thanks.
[05:22] <BROKEN_LADDER> is there any way to control which alsamixer "slider" is controlled by the volume inputs that i've mapped on my multimedia keys?

[05:23] <zer0`> bigboote i think you need to add repositories
[05:23] <zer0`> !repositories
[05:23] <ubotu> How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example soruces.list
[05:24] <zer0`> !sources

[05:24] <tkup> I've had reproducible hard drive freezes on ubuntu 5.04 when I plug/unplug the AC adapter on an IBM T30 laptop. no logs whatsoever. Does anyone know about this problem? Has it been fixed in the new release?
[05:24] <dabaR> sizzam: some do, why?
[05:24] <sizzam> dabaR, i cant find the command to launch it
[05:25] <BROKEN_LADDER> IcemanV9 i have the shortcut set already.
[05:25] <BROKEN_LADDER> IcemanV9 i'm talking about once you get the volume up/down working.
[05:25] <BROKEN_LADDER> controlling which device it is affecting.
[05:25] <dabaR> sizzam: are yo in gnome? is there a menu item for it? btdownload-gui is the command iirc
[05:25] <mushtaq> hi how to restart samba from command line in ubuntu there is not smb file in init.d
[05:25] <sizzam> dabaR, thanks grabbing the gui package now

[05:26] <pqx> flex package MagicFab
[05:26] <thomaslsamoht> tkup is ur battery good?
[05:26] <thomaslsamoht> does it do it when your screen is off?
[05:26] <IcemanV9> BROKEN_LADDER: sorry, that's all i know. :/
[05:26] <bimberi> mushtaq: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[05:26] <bob2> mushtaq: uh, then you don't have it installed
[05:26] <mushtaq> thanks bimberi
[05:27] <mushtaq> bob2, it is installed
[05:27] <mushtaq> smb.conf is also there
[05:27] <bob2> mushtaq: then you'll have a 'samba' init script in /etc/init.d/
[05:27] <mushtaq> bob2, this is installed by default in ubuntu
[05:27] <bob2> mushtaq: no, samba is not installed by default
[05:27] <thomaslsamoht> k compiling wine: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[05:27] <mushtaq> bob2, it is not there
[05:27] <ranto> has anyone installed unionfs?
[05:27] <thomaslsamoht> it is a problem compiling C
[05:27] <thomaslsamoht> any resolutions?
[05:27] <tkup> thomaslsamoht, yes it is. I have about over an hour worth. The systems does *not* freeze after I power on, goto hibernate mode, and then back up again. it only happens when I remove the AC adapter after a fresh start.
[05:27] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: why are you compiling wine?
[05:27] <mushtaq> bob2, it is installed by default in default installation not in the server installation
[05:28] <bimberi> mushtaq: smbclient is, but not samba
[05:28] <bob2> mushtaq: no, sorry, samba is not installed by default
[05:28] <dabaR> I heard it is too, but whatever.
[05:28] <thomaslsamoht> i'm trying to install it.. to install from source you need to compile it.
[05:28] <thomaslsamoht> :o
[05:28] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: you could install it from the universe repo
[05:28] <mushtaq> bimberi, what is the difference between samba and smbclient ?
[05:28] <thomaslsamoht> no i couldn't
[05:28] <dabaR> really, eh? thomaslsamoht ?
[05:28] <thomaslsamoht> i added the repository
[05:29] <thomaslsamoht> but it didn't list.
[05:29] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: why are you installing it from source?
[05:29] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: no, that means you messed up
[05:29] <thomaslsamoht> cvs
[05:29] <thomaslsamoht> sorry
[05:29] <thomaslsamoht> cvs
[05:29] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: show us your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:29] <dabaR> not here, pastebin, please.
[05:29] <bimberi> mushtaq: smbclient allows you to connect to a smb shar, samba to be a smb server
[05:29] <nuck> microsoft live any comments?
[05:30] <mushtaq> bimberi, thanks for the information
[05:30] <mushtaq> takecare

[05:35] <dabaR> maybe even this time.
[05:35] <nekostar> so new discoveries: electric sheep can zoom to full screen lol...
[05:35] <bob2> that seems slightly excessive.
[05:35] <dabaR> whatever, it will work out in the end, I am sure.
[05:35] <benplaut> maybe a bit...
[05:35] <tkup> Does anyone know how to select a region from a jpg in Gimp?
[05:36] <nekostar> bob2, i was wondering about apps similar to gimp that do stuff like photoshop. i know a whole mess of ppl looking to change out of windows being tired of spyware [and me tired of working on the dam boxes for free >_<]
[05:36] <benplaut> damnit\
[05:36] <benplaut> i really need to learn my key commands before i go off pressing things...
[05:36] <woddf2> Windoze is on /dev/hda5 , how would I express that in (hd#,#) form?
[05:36] <bob2> tkup: same as from anything else
[05:36] <bob2> nekostar: gimp
[05:36] <nekostar> lol benplaut i hear that :P
[05:36] <Swaty> Hi, I have un HD of 6Gb for linux, and i want mount other Hard Disk of 60Gb, I can copy And Paste of HD1 to HD2 ?
[05:36] <bob2> nekostar: or gimpshop if people really find menus to be so confusing
[05:36] <nekostar> o:
[05:36] <bob2> Swaty: you can move files between them, yes
[05:37] <bob2> woddf2: hd0,4
[05:37] <benplaut> note to self: F1 is your friend
[05:37] <woddf2> What do I put in kernel ?
[05:37] <nekostar> can a semi-computer literate person who pwns photoshop understand that do you think bob2 ?
[05:37] <mikecere_> wohoo, wireless works, thanks to all that helped :)
[05:37] <tkup> bob2, I did select a region using the "Select shapes for image". Tried to right click - > copy or ctrl-c. None of them worked
[05:37] <[Spooky] > Aven: try Firestarter
[05:37] <bob2> nekostar: no idea
[05:37] <nekostar> tkup, i found something in there
[05:38] <bob2> nekostar: I find it hard to belive photoshop people are so smart and inflexible that gimp is too hard for them, tho
[05:38] <intelikey> note to benplaut [alt] +[F4]   is too.  :)
[05:38] <thomaslsamoht> k guys
[05:38] <benplaut> nekostar: you'll have to unlearn alot of what you knwo in photoshop
[05:38] <nekostar> look on those things that pop up with it.. the one on the left has different things to select?
[05:38] <thomaslsamoht> i'm sorry for spamming
[05:38] <nekostar> look for one that's a box
[05:38] <thomaslsamoht> i never used irc before
[05:38] <nalioth> thomaslsamoht: cursing doesnt help either
[05:38] <thomaslsamoht> please understand
[05:38] <benplaut> intelikey: yeah, up there with ctrl+backspace
[05:38] <woddf2> What do I put in kernel ?
[05:38] <Swaty> bob2, Ubuntu is compatible for mount other HD ?
[05:39] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: that is fine. do you see a private mesasge from ubotu anywhere?
[05:39] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: that's great, don't ever do it again, move on
[05:39] <nekostar> benplaut, // bob2 i appreciate the explination btw,, im just worried about the person needing to know python or something in order to romp away effectively
[05:39] <Aven> [Spooky] : gahm HECK NO :(
[05:39] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: now paste your sources.list to #flood
[05:39] <thomaslsamoht> nah i quit and reopened xchat
[05:39] <bob2> nekostar: no
[05:39] <nekostar> ok great then
[05:39] <Swaty> bob2, Ubuntu is compatible for mount other HD ?
[05:39] <Aven> last time I had it, it stopped all connections from connecting to either my ircd or web server
[05:39] <nekostar> im gonna give it a hard recommendation and make sure to install the help :D
[05:39] <tkup> Does anyone know of an alternative image editor to Gimp?
[05:39] <[Spooky] > Aven: you asked for a firewall ?
[05:39] <bob2> Swaty: ubuntu can mount windows partitions, yes
[05:39] <benplaut> tkup: try krita
[05:40] <bob2> tkup: none are as featureful
[05:40] <benplaut> it's a bit green, but still pretty good
[05:40] <thomaslsamoht> whoever wanted to see my apt sources list
[05:40] <Aven> [Spooky] : yeah :P
[05:40] <thomaslsamoht> meet me in #flood please..
[05:40] <Aven> but any firewall other than firestarter pwease :P
[05:40] <benplaut> thomaslsamoht: now you've got it :)
[05:40] <farruinn> tkup: tuxpaint :P
[05:40] <GTroy_> can you mount mac partitions with mountwindows?
[05:40] <benplaut> ^^
[05:40] <Fletch> can i uninstall gnome and just use a SMALL (memory wise) window manager
[05:40] <woddf2> Haldo
[05:40] <Fletch> just so that I can use xmms
[05:40] <woddf2> WHat do I put in kernel?
[05:40] <benplaut> err
[05:40] <MagicFab> Fletch: you can use XFCE
[05:40] <farruinn> GTroy_: you can mount hfs/hfsplus partitions with mount
[05:40] <[Spooky] > Aven: well firestarter is a good one... i belive its a gui frontend for iptables...
[05:40] <woddf2> bob2: WHat do I put in kernel?
[05:40] <benplaut> Fletch: try openbox
[05:40] <nalioth> Fletch: you can add any WM you like, nobody says you have to log into a gnome-session
[05:40] <benplaut> removing gnome may be a bit hard
[05:41] <MagicFab> Fletch: apt-get install xubuntu or via Synaptic
[05:41] <Swaty> Alguien habla un poquito Espaol?
[05:41] <Fletch> Well when I boot, just takes me to a login screen
[05:41] <benplaut> it might be easier to just start from scratch
[05:41] <GTroy_> farruinn: thanks
[05:41] <bob2> Swaty: no
[05:41] <Fletch> A yellow one that says ubuntu (i just did default install)
[05:41] <bob2> !+es
[05:41] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:41] <benplaut> MagicFab: even xfce is a bit heavy for just xmms
[05:41] <MagicFab> Swaty: #ubuntu-es
[05:41] <Fletch> ONLY using xmms with this machine
[05:41] <Fletch> or some other small memory music player
[05:41] <Swaty> MagicFab, Yeah. but their not know
[05:41] <MagicFab> Swaty: nos vemos all
[05:42] <MagicFab> benplaut: missed that
[05:42] <PHZN`away> Hey, I'm working on a server right now that I just made, and I need to figure out why my machine can get apt-get to work and download stuff, but not through anything else.
[05:42] <woddf2> WHat do I put in kernel?
[05:42] <tkup> ok krita has that 'K' in it. I'm installing tuxpaint
[05:42] <farruinn> tkup: lol, I was joking
[05:42] <farruinn> tkup: txpaint ~= microsoft paint
[05:42] <tkup> farruinn, oh I see...
[05:43] <woddf2> WHat do I put in kernel?
[05:43] <benplaut> farruinn: tuxpaint > ms paint
[05:43] <intelikey> hmmmm i thought that was kpaint ...
[05:43] <benplaut> only slightly :P
[05:43] <K_Dallas> tuxpaint is mostly for kids ;)
[05:43] <farruinn> benplaut: ok, I'll take your word for it. I hardly use either :)
[05:43] <benplaut> intelikey: welcome to the linux world of redundency...
[05:43] <woddf2> WHat do I put in kernel?
[05:43] <benplaut> 50 apps for every task :D
[05:43] <woddf2> I'm trying to configure GRUB.
[05:43] <farruinn> woddf2: repeating a question a bazillion times does not mean it gets answered faster
[05:43] <Fletch> Which WM's come with ubuntu?
[05:44] <K_Dallas> ;)
[05:44] <Fletch> coz the pc dont have net access
[05:44] <tkup> damn tuxpaint is so colorful I almost lost my sight
[05:44] <nekostar> o: here's a silly question: when i run xine and tone the volume down it also makes xmms tone down the volume // or up of course... is there a way to get that behavior to stop outside of installing another video/audio player?
[05:44] <benplaut> Fletch: none, by default
[05:44] <HrdwrBoB> er
[05:44] <varsedangger> why won't sound work?  my system sounds are working but i can't get the other stuff to work?
[05:44] <benplaut> but you can still have plain Xserver, with no WM
[05:44] <HrdwrBoB> metacity
[05:44] <intelikey> woddf2 img
[05:44] <HrdwrBoB> metacity comes with ubuntu
[05:44] <benplaut> HrdwrBoB: well... yeah...
[05:44] <HrdwrBoB> benplaut: not really
[05:44] <Fletch> Will X server allow me to run Xmms and stuff?
[05:44] <woddf2> What about initrd ?
[05:44] <thomaslsamoht> bob+ dabar i posted my apt sources.list in flood
[05:44] <Fletch> and if so how do i get out of gnome and into it
[05:44] <farruinn> Fletch: maybe you could make a custom gnome session that only loaded metacity and gnome-panel
[05:44] <thomaslsamoht> if you want to have a look
[05:44] <benplaut> HrdwrBoB: "xinit -- :1"
[05:44] <mc|amb> i want to try xfce, what do i have to do to get it?? should i search for it on synaptic??
[05:45] <Fletch> farruinnm, how would I do that, only new to linuyx
[05:45] <Fletch> linux*
[05:45] <Nogimics> Are there any antivirus progs for ubuntu?
[05:45] <intelikey> woddf2 no the line about kernel    are you asking about /boot/grub/grub.conf ?
[05:45] <farruinn> mc|amb: xfce4 is in universe
[05:45] <intelikey> woddf2 img was not correct for grub.conf.
[05:45] <StarKruzr> guys, can I get some help troubleshooting my ftp server and figuring out why it stalls when trying to do a directory listing?
[05:46] <nekostar> varsedangger, did you add yourself to the music group?
[05:46] <nekostar> or audio or whatnot?
[05:46] <woddf2> No, I'm asking about /boot/grub/menu.lst .
[05:46] <StarKruzr> I can show you my /var/log/vsftp.log if necessary.
[05:46] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: now paste the output of "apt-cache policy blah"
[05:46] <WhyvasLT> woddf2, try www.google.com
[05:46] <bob2> StarKruzr: are you behind NAT?
[05:46] <varsedangger> no how do i do that in the command line?
[05:46] <StarKruzr> bob2: Yes.
[05:46] <varsedangger> nekostar,
[05:46] <bob2> StarKruzr: then you lose
[05:46] <bob2> StarKruzr: tell people not to use passive mode
[05:46] <thomaslsamoht> what is that bob?
[05:46] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[05:46] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: a command for you to run
[05:46] <bimberi> K_Dallas: none that i'm aware of - get writing! :)
[05:46] <Fletch> Does ubuntu come with xmms?
[05:46] <StarKruzr> bob2: can you not make pasv work by forwarding the range 30000-50000?
[05:47] <thomaslsamoht> fletch its in synaptic
[05:47] <StarKruzr> I feel like I have done this before.
[05:47] <K_Dallas> bimberi, i bet there is gonna be one out soon, Ubuntu for Dummies ;)
[05:47] <Fletch> whats that?
[05:47] <StarKruzr> on BSD, and it worked.
[05:47] <thomaslsamoht> go to add programs
[05:47] <thomaslsamoht> its under audio
[05:47] <bob2> StarKruzr: no
[05:47] <Fletch> This pc dont have net
[05:47] <bimberi> K_Dallas: udumbtu :P
[05:47] <intelikey> woddf2 you probably need to read the man page     "man grub "   and   man menu.lst
[05:47] <farruinn> Fletch: it's not on the install cd
[05:47] <K_Dallas> lol
[05:47] <thomaslsamoht> your on the net right now.
[05:47] <Nogimics> I would buy a Ubuntu for Dummies Book
[05:47] <bob2> StarKruzr: you can make it work by using software that understands FTP to NAT
[05:47] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[05:47] <bob2> StarKruzr: e.g. netfilter
[05:47] <farruinn> Fletch: it does come with rhythmbox preinstalled though
[05:47] <Fletch> thomas, this is the windows PC
[05:48] <Fletch> I just want something to test sound
[05:48] <farruinn> Fletch: open a terminal and push backspace a bunch :P
[05:48] <Nogimics> First customer right here K_Dallas
[05:48] <Fletch> haha
[05:48] <K_Dallas> lol
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> k this one is only 2 lines long
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> 3*
[05:48] <K_Dallas> :)
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> can i paste here?
[05:48] <K_Dallas> nope
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> :o
[05:48] <Nogimics> use pastebin
[05:48] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: it's not two lines long, so no
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> i don't have that.
[05:48] <thomaslsamoht> bob literally it is.
[05:48] <K_Dallas> thomaslsamoht, it is in the topic
[05:48] <Nogimics> www.pastebin.com
[05:49] <mc|amb> farruinn: after the installation, how do i set it up??
[05:49] <thomaslsamoht> apt-cache policy wine
[05:49] <thomaslsamoht> output 4 lines
[05:49] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: which is not 2, as I said, #flood or pastebin.ca
[05:49] <farruinn> !repositories
[05:49] <ubotu> How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example soruces.list
[05:49] <thomaslsamoht> k i'll just tell you then, not installed, no candidates, no version
[05:50] <farruinn> mc|amb: ^^ link to instructions
[05:50] <thomaslsamoht> because it didn't install.
[05:50] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: no
[05:50] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: show me the output in #flood
[05:50] <bob2> I don't want a summary
[05:51] <thomaslsamoht> there it is..
[05:51] <StarKruzr> bob2: could any of this ftp crap have to do with the DSL modem I am using?
[05:51] <bob2> StarKruzr: it is to do with whatever software is NATing you
[05:51] <bob2> StarKruzr: also to do with FTP being a poorly designed protocol
[05:51] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: that's the whole output? run 'sudo apt-get update' and then policy again; it should change
[05:52] <frank23> anyone know where I could find other freely accessible dns servers? my isp's dns servers seem very slow
[05:52] <mc|amb> farruin: i've the universe repositories, my question is: does synaptic configures xfce or do i have to do it?
[05:52] <thomaslsamoht> bob its still the same.
[05:52] <thomaslsamoht> if the repository was working, i wouldn't be in here.
[05:52] <bob2> frank23: ns.berkeley.edu
[05:53] <bob2> or mayb ns1
[05:53] <farruinn> mc|amb: you'll like this: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" << will install all you need and configure it
[05:53] <thomaslsamoht> i'm very sure my source.list is okay too.
[05:53] <dabaR> frank23: there is no such thing. use your own, and also, clear out your cache in the browser, that should fix it.
[05:53] <StarKruzr> bob2: ok.  the reason I am looking outside of my router for an explanation is that I used to run a FreeBSD ftp server, did exactly what I am doing now with the same router (forwarding port 21 and 30000-50000), and it worked properly.  the different elements in the system are A) the server and B) the type of ISP
[05:53] <Severian> frank23, do they have to be free?  I think there are commercial entities that will provide you dns service.
[05:54] <StarKruzr> fyi, I have a WRT54G running hacked firmware
[05:54] <DShepherd> hi
[05:54] <varsedangger> do i ahve to restart gnome in order to have acces to my audio dev?
[05:54] <thomaslsamoht> maybe its ur hacked firmware.
[05:54] <frank23> Severian: dabaR I just want to find out if other dns servers work faster than my isp's
[05:54] <StarKruzr> thomaslsamoht: it was working before with the hacked firmware.
[05:54] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[05:54] <StarKruzr> by "hacked" I mean that it's not crap stock Linksys.
[05:54] <thomaslsamoht> yeh i know what you meant..
[05:54] <thomaslsamoht> hrm
[05:55] <intelikey> varsedangger no
[05:55] <Nogimics> What FTP Server software is their for Ubuntu?
[05:55] <StarKruzr> Nogimics: vsftpd is probably the best one available
[05:55] <dabaR> frank23: check out bob2's post
[05:55] <bob2> Nogimics: lots
[05:55] <intelikey> varsedangger sudo alsamixer
[05:55] <bob2> Nogimics: vsftp if you have to use one
[05:55] <varsedangger> how do i find out if i have audio privilages?
[05:55] <sambagirl> nogimics why not just type ftp?
[05:55] <StarKruzr> Bob is right, though.  ftp is a very poorly designed protocol
[05:56] <Nogimics> How would one go about gettingit? can I just sudo ap-get vsftp?
[05:56] <thomaslsamoht> bob i'm going to have a 2nd look over my sources.list
[05:56] <StarKruzr> sambagirl: he means ftp server, not client
[05:56] <StarKruzr> "ftp" is an ftp client.
[05:56] <sambagirl> ohj
[05:56] <sambagirl> ahh yes i see
[05:56] <sambagirl> ok
[05:56] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: replace your sources.list with this one line
[05:56] <intelikey>  audio privilages?
[05:56] <Nogimics> Sorry im new to linux?
[05:56] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: deb http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ubuntu/ breezy main restricted universe
[05:57] <bob2> Nogimics: you install it using whatever package manegement tool you like
[05:57] <bob2> Nogimics: apt-get is one choice
[05:57] <bimberi> varsedangger: type "groups" in a terminal, look for audio
[05:57] <bob2> Nogimics: wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[05:57] <dabaR> haha, one line:-/
[05:57] <Nogimics> apt-get didnt find it
[05:57] <bob2> dabaR: there have been problems with synchronisation between the 3 archive.ubuntu.com servers
[05:57] <frank23> how do I find out the ip of ns.berkeley.edu ?
[05:57] <bob2> Nogimics: then wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto, it's in universe
[05:57] <varsedangger> thanks
[05:57] <Nogimics> okey doke thanks
[05:58] <bimberi> varsedangger: np
[05:58] <Severian> frank23,   nslookup ns.berkeley.edu
[05:58] <varsedangger> i'm a member
[05:58] <crimsun> s/nslookup/host/
[05:58] <bob2> frank23: <IP_ADDRESS> works
[05:58] <bob2> (ucla)
[05:58] <dabaR> bob2: well, how about updates and security updates for him, tho?
[05:59] <bigfoot1> hey friends, anybody here syncs his pocket pc with breezy? What software should I use? I followed the howto of synce and the connection works, but what software do i use to view, input my PIM info?
[05:59] <bob2> dabaR: this is to find the problem, not a final solution
[05:59] <frank23> bob2: ok thanks
[05:59] <varsedangger> .... still no sound other than my system sounds... like ding when i tab over in terminal, and ubuntu startup
[05:59] <Nogimics> this place is hectic lol
[05:59] <intelikey> interesting  "audio privilages"    hmmmm  i never thought of such a thing.   my user account only has one group but i play all audio from there.....   but this is not ub.
[06:00] <kevman> Nogimics, welcome to IRC
[06:00] <Nogimics> lol im on IRC loads its only when you dont know what your talking about a channel becomes confusing lol
[06:00] <bob2> intelikey: older sun machines had /dev/dsp be world writable, which let people with logins listen in on you
[06:00] <varsedangger> intelikey, what do you run?
[06:01] <thomaslsamoht> bob i replaced my list with that one line
[06:01] <thomaslsamoht> and there is no wine package in synaptic
[06:01] <bigfoot1> does anybody here use synce and/or multisync?
[06:01] <thomaslsamoht> with the 1 repository you gave me.
[06:01] <woddf2> Haldo
[06:02] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: you ran 'sudo apt-get update'?
[06:02] <thomaslsamoht> synaptic does that when u load doesn't it?
[06:02] <woddf2> How do I add Windoze to /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[06:02] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: no idea
[06:02] <bob2> I don't use synaptic
[06:02] <bimberi> bigfoot1: "multisync" enables syncing with evolution (though a bit flakey when i used it about 18 months ago)
[06:03] <bimberi> thomaslsamoht: no, hit the reload button
[06:03] <bigfoot1> bimberi: that's what i was guessing. So what is the purpose of synce, then? Does multisync need synce to work?
[06:03] <thomaslsamoht> k bob the only packages relating to wine are the docs and the xwine gui
[06:03] <thomaslsamoht> but no wine base.
[06:04] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: something is deeply wrong with your sytem
[06:04] <thomaslsamoht> even when it WAS a fresh install, wine wasn't there.
[06:04] <Chizn> crossover office relates to wine
[06:04] <thomaslsamoht> my system runs smooth, no broken packages
[06:04] <bimberi> thomaslsamoht: are you running amd64?
[06:04] <thomaslsamoht> yeah...
[06:04] <thomaslsamoht> :(
[06:04] <Chizn> aaand cedega
[06:05] <bimberi> aha!
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> i mentioned that before.
[06:05] <bob2> BAH
[06:05] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: then no wine for you
[06:05] <Chizn> ah, sorry, wasnt watching
[06:05] <bimberi> missed that bit :/
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> when i first came here for help
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> ouch!
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> even if i compile it?
[06:05] <bob2> also, I want ten minutes of my life back
[06:05] <bob2> do you know what wine does?
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> yeah.. i've used it before.
[06:05] <Chizn> you drink it and you get intoxicated, right bob2?
[06:05] <thomaslsamoht> and i didn't make you sit here.
[06:05] <woddf2> No
[06:05] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: if you care about binary-only junk, use the i386 port of ubuntu
[06:05] <Chizn> ... sorry
[06:05] <bigfoot1> what command do i run in cli to find out what version of a package i have?
[06:06] <bob2> bigfoot1: dpkg -l packagename
[06:06] <woddf2> No one answered my question.
[06:06] <bimberi> bigfoot1: synce is mostly libraries as far as i can tell, other apps (such as multisync and synce-kde) use it
[06:06] <frank23> bob2: your ucla name server does work but not for every site. ex:  www.bnc.ca   doesn't resolve :(
[06:06] <thomaslsamoht> if everyone with a x64 just runs the i386 then theres no reason to push the bracket
[06:06] <thomaslsamoht> meh
[06:06] <thomaslsamoht> :(
[06:06] <dabaR> I fixed a friend's resolution now, and it removed her desktop from being loaded in gnome, is that even possible to be related?
[06:06] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: I don't know what you mean
[06:07] <|ww> is there a program that i can mount the usr partition of a FreeBSD drive?
[06:07] <thomaslsamoht> if everyone with a x64 bit just installed 32 bit
[06:07] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: if yo ucare about binarly-only junk like windows programs, tho, you'll have less issues using the i386 port
[06:07] <thomaslsamoht> theres no point
[06:07] <bob2> thomaslsamoht: yes
[06:07] <thomaslsamoht> i just want wine
[06:07] <bob2> no
[06:07] <thomaslsamoht> to run some desklets i had for windows i compiled to exe
[06:07] <bob2> you want "wine and to run 32-bit windows executables"
[06:07] <thomaslsamoht> yeah.
[06:07] <intelikey> !grub
[06:07] <ubotu> methinks grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[06:07] <bob2> 16:05:49           bob2 | thomaslsamoht: if you care about binary-only junk, use the i386 port of ubuntu
[06:08] <thomaslsamoht> o bob i should mention this too, i was screwing around with that klik system, and wine did run.
[06:08] <sambagirl> why you just want wine? you not like other things? aqua? umm how they sya pop?  juice?
[06:08] <thomaslsamoht> but there were no arguments of course.
[06:08] <bob2> I have no idea what "klik" is
[06:08] <thomaslsamoht> but it ran.
[06:08] <bob2> if it's some random non-ubuntu software install thing, then good uck
[06:08] <thomaslsamoht> look it up.
[06:08] <hosler> The gnome-volume-manager mounts /dev/sda3 under /media/ipod, but i want it to mount /dev/sda2. How can i fix this?
[06:08] <bob2> you can make wine work under ubuntu on an amd64 system if you like, but it's mre effort
[06:09] <frank23> bob2: do you use that <IP_ADDRESS>  name server you gave me? and if so can you resolve  www.bnc.ca  ?
[06:09] <bob2> if you really care about running windows applications, just install the i386 port, you'll be happier
[06:09] <bob2> frank23: nope
[06:09] <benplaut> is gkrellm lightweight?
[06:09] <thomaslsamoht> i don't care that much, but i would be willing to break a little to get this installed.
[06:09] <frank23> bob2: you don't use that server?
[06:09] <bob2> "break a little"?
[06:09] <bob2> frank23: indeed
[06:09] <thomaslsamoht> i'm not going to be running anything too complex with it..
[06:09] <bob2> frank23: my isp is not useless
[06:09] <Nogimics> hmmm I added the universe repositories but when using sudo apt-get vsftp it did not work
[06:10] <hosler> The gnome-volume-manager mounts /dev/sda3 under /media/ipod, but i want it to mount /dev/sda2. How can i fix this?
[06:10] <frank23> bob2: thanks anyways ;-)
[06:10] <Nogimics> I did a sudo apt-get update too
[06:10] <thomaslsamoht> mount it manually?
[06:10] <bimberi> ubotu tell thomaslsamoht about chroot
[06:10] <Nogimics> Any ideas people?
[06:10] <tama> Hey
[06:10] <tama> Need help
[06:11] <varsedangger> tama what is up?
[06:11] <bimberi> Nogimics: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[06:11] <IcemanV9> Nogimics: sudo apt-get install vsftp
[06:11] <intelikey> hosler check /etc/fstab
[06:11] <mshade> anyone run X at a resolution higher than 1280x1024?
[06:11] <thomaslsamoht> thanks for the tip bimberi
[06:11] <tama> varsedangger, i have a low ram system .. 64meg and gnome cannot run on it.. i want to use XFCE insted
[06:11] <tama> how can i go about doing this?
[06:11] <bimberi> thomaslsamoht: yw :)
[06:11] <Nogimics> hehe im dumb IcemanV9 thanks
[06:11] <Shadowline> mshade: is 1600x1200 big enough ?
[06:11] <bigfoot1> bimberi: it's been 18 months for you, but do you remember where i can find instructions to getting multisync and evolution working? (I already got synce working fine just now).
[06:11] <varsedangger> ahh i still don't know how to get sound workiing on ubuntu?
[06:12] <IcemanV9> nah, just forgot to add "install", Nogimics :)
[06:12] <mshade> Shadowline: that's what I'm trying to get :)
[06:12] <Nogimics> ok maybe not it said bulding dependancy tree then failed
[06:12] <thomaslsamoht> you know what i think debootstrap failed on install..
[06:12] <thomaslsamoht> i can't remember
[06:12] <thomaslsamoht> it was a while ago
[06:12] <thomaslsamoht> ><
[06:12] <intelikey> tama disable cups  and gnome might run
[06:12] <Nogimics> Couldnt find package vsftp
[06:12] <varsedangger> tama, i'm no ubuntu guru, just being nice, i'm not sure
[06:12] <bimberi> bigfoot1: haha, it was on a redhat system ...
[06:12] <Shadowline> mshade: outa curiousity, what vid card ?
[06:12] <tama> intelikey, thats cupsd stop?
[06:12] <mshade> Shadowline: radeon 9000 pro
[06:13] <mshade> Shadowline: i've got DRI working, no sweat, but i can't get it to go above 1280x1024
[06:13] <Nogimics> Thats better, missed the d of the end
[06:13] <Shadowline> mshade: want to see my xorg.conf ?
[06:13] <intelikey> sudo /etc/init.d/cup* stop
[06:13] <mshade> Shadowline: i'd love to
[06:13] <bigfoot1> bimberi: ok.
[06:13] <thomaslsamoht> hey bimbery, will this environment be permenant?
[06:13] <mshade> Shadowline: pastebin
[06:13] <Shadowline> mshade: one sec and I'll dcc it to you
[06:13] <mshade> Shadowline: ok
[06:14] <intelikey> tama yeah
[06:14] <eric> hello all
[06:14] <hosler> intelikey, gnome doesnt use fstab to mount stuff
[06:14] <bimberi> bigfoot1: i think you need to install multisync, libmultisync-plugin-evolution and synce-multisync-plugin
[06:14] <mshade> Shadowline: what card do you have?
[06:14] <tama> hehe alright sweet
[06:14] <eric> anyone have much luck with gxine and win codec
[06:14] <hosler> eric, no
[06:14] <hosler> eric, use mplayer
[06:15] <eric> okay
[06:15] <bimberi> bigfoot1: hopefully some good reading at http://multisync.sourceforge.net
[06:15] <Shadowline> mshade: nvidia
[06:15] <intelikey> hosler well if you put it in fstab you can mount it from gnome..... sorry if that wasn't what you wanted.
[06:15] <mshade> Shadowline: cool.
[06:15] <eric> were do you have to put the codec for mplayer
[06:15] <Shadowline> mshade: but it might give you some hints as to the correct mode lines to use
[06:15] <varsedangger> eric, you can apt-get it if you have the multiverse in your sources.list
[06:15] <dabaR> eric: just install it, and it will put itself where it is needed.
[06:16] <eric> multiverse ?
[06:16] <Severian> eric, I have better luck with Totam-xine on Ubuntu, but most things play in Mplayer.
[06:16] <mshade> Shadowline: there aren't any modelines in yours :)
[06:16] <mshade> Shadowline: mine is along the same lines as yours hmm
[06:16] <eric> i have universe were is multiverse
[06:16] <dabaR> eric: its in multiverse.
[06:17] <eric> sorry about that
[06:17] <dabaR> no worries
[06:17] <Shadowline> mshade: notice msg
[06:19] <bigfoot1> bimberi: i'm on that website, but no instructions.
[06:20] <Nogimics> hmm I installed vsftpd and at the end it said could not set home directory and also when i sudo vsftpd it says 500: oops could not bind listening piv4 socket
[06:20] <bimberi> bigfoot1: sorry, i wasn't sure - i saw the link in a package description
[06:20] <eric> thanx
[06:20] <jubei> Hi, what is the equivalent for /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf in ubuntu?
[06:21] <eric> i was going nuts I found the codec and installed them were it said to and it still could not find them
[06:21] <dabaR> eric: ya its easier with debs, for sure.
[06:21] <dabaR> eric: got the deb at all, and the idea what you are supposed to do?
[06:21] <eric> ???
[06:22] <eric> i found the mplayer in multi and am installing it now
[06:22] <dabaR> eric: you should get the w32codecs deb package and install it. that is what I suggest.
[06:22] <Severian> jubei,   how about   /etc/modules
[06:22] <dabaR> eric: see any messages from ubotu ?
[06:22] <Fletch> where can i get libgtk
[06:22] <levander> Anybody know if the ruby bindings to libcurl are packaged in ubuntu?
[06:23] <Fletch> I have to download it form windows and put it on my thumb coz the linux pc doesnt have net yet
[06:23] <dabaR> packages.ubuntu.com
[06:23] <intelikey> Fletch 'apt-cache search libgtk '
[06:23] <jubei> Severian: i saw that file, is it the one i'm after?
[06:23] <eric> got ya
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> lol fletch i was having problems getting that earlier too
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[06:24] <levander> Fletch: why do you want to manually install gtk?  if an application you want needs it, apt will install it when you install that application
[06:24] <Fletch> levander, the linux pc doesnt have net
[06:24] <Fletch> when i tried to install xmms
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> fletch
[06:24] <Fletch> It wouldnt because it depends on libgtk
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> you are on the net!
[06:24] <dabaR> eric: really all programs will be able to play most media formats if you install the w32codecs, and the proper other codecs(see ubotu's message about codecs)
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> o
[06:24] <Severian> jubei, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish, but it might be.  It does specify kernel modules.  Do you want to add one, or what?
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> ur not on that computer
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[06:24] <Fletch> Im on the windows computer....
[06:24] <thomaslsamoht> o.
[06:24] <Fletch> heh
[06:25] <eric> i have been able to install all the others fine
[06:25] <thomaslsamoht> try looking for a binary / package
[06:25] <dabaR> Fletch: so, you got the xmms package?
[06:25] <thomaslsamoht> and put it on a cd or something
[06:25] <jubei> i'm following this guide http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=62 i want to change my mouse poll rate
[06:25] <Nogimics> 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[06:25] <jubei> they suggest adding a line "options usbhid mousepoll=[polling interval] "
[06:25] <Nogimics> Anyone tell me what that means when running vsftpd
[06:25] <thomaslsamoht> eric: install mplayer.
[06:25] <thomaslsamoht> :D
[06:26] <eric> do i untar these in /usr/bin/win32
[06:26] <eric> yes
[06:26] <dabaR> Nogimics: running in what way?
[06:26] <intelikey> Fletch the wiki about repos should help you find the deb's you are looking for.
[06:26] <thomaslsamoht> eric out of the box mplayer plays everything.
[06:26] <dabaR> eric: the w32codecs.deb? no, sudo dpkg -i w32codecs.deb
[06:26] <eric> okay about to try it
[06:26] <levander> Fletch: why not spending your time getting the linux box on the network, then everything else will be a lot easier
[06:26] <Nogimics> well it installed with an error, i was trying to "sudo vsftpd"
[06:26] <eric> okay
[06:26] <|ww> suggestions for software on scanning a ufs drive that had bad sectors to make it readable?
[06:26] <Nogimics> it installed but I dont know how to configure it
[06:27] <dabaR> Nogimics: there is no such thing. do sudo invoke-rc.d vsftpd restart and see what that does. Also, what errors during install?
[06:27] <daaku> what modules need to be loaded for a usb mouse to work? i know my xorg.conf's fine.. cant figure out the modules
[06:27] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, I've installed the codecs and mplayer does fine on local content.  It does poorly for streaming web content.  It may be a configuration deal, but totem-xine plays everything I've tried.
[06:27] <jubei> Severian: they suggest adding a line "options usbhid mousepoll=[polling interval] " to the file to configure a module parameter
[06:27] <eric> okay now this will sound stupid but some times when i install from synaptic I cannot find the program
[06:27] <Fletch> Ok thanks
[06:27] <thomaslsamoht> o i havn't tried streaming
[06:27] <thomaslsamoht> :o
[06:27] <Nogimics> its stopped and started it fine
[06:28] <thomaslsamoht> mplayer is messy too
[06:28] <jubei> Severian: but i dont know if that is what /etc/modules is for
[06:28] <dabaR> eric: to list files installed with a package, sudo dpkg -L package, and then see which one is the executable, usually same name as the package too.
[06:28] <Nogimics> It just said Not Creating Home Directory
[06:28] <dabaR> Nogimics: then you are fine, it is running.
[06:28] <Nogimics> is there a GUI to vsftpd or is it all command line?
[06:28] <intelikey> sudo is not needed for listing me thinks
[06:28] <thomaslsamoht> i give i'm going back to x32
[06:28] <thomaslsamoht> :o
[06:29] <thomaslsamoht> i'm waiting till things are actually ported.
[06:29] <thomaslsamoht> its really annoyoing.
[06:29] <Nogimics> Just need to know how to configure it now then, anyone got a link to a decent tutorial on vsftpd?
[06:29] <peej> just upgraded from hoary cd to hoary net, then to breezy yesterday. Today I try apt-get upgrade --dry-run and find I have a bunch of new packages I can upgrade to in breezy. Is breezy not as fossilized and stable as debian stable is?
[06:30] <Severian> jubei, I have not messed with the file much.  Sorry.  I added a module when I was using Warty, but I have not needed to since then.  I did put parameters on the module line to configure my isa soundcard, so I know it is reasonable to do so.
[06:30] <levander> You know they've got ocaml bindings for libcurl in breezy, but not a binding for ruby.
[06:30] <Severian> peej, I sure hope not.
[06:30] <kdevil> How do you pronounce Ubuntu: "You-buntu" or "Ooh-buntu"?
[06:30] <jubei> Severian: did you use that format "options [module name]  [parm1=foo parm2=bar parm3=baz] "?
[06:31] <Nogimics> You-buntu
[06:31] <Nogimics> lol
[06:31] <kdevil> Thought so
[06:31] <dabaR> kdevil: they tell you on the site
[06:31] <eric> thanx for the help guys but it is just too late for me
[06:31] <intelikey> oo bun too
[06:31] <dabaR> kdevil: its oohboohntooh!
[06:31] <dabaR> Nogimics: what do you want to know about sftp?
[06:31] <eric> the mplayer will not install for some reason  i ll figure it out later
[06:32] <eric> take care all and thanx again
[06:32] <Nogimics> sftp? not that much
[06:32] <mattpj1> how do i make my dsl modem work for a usb port ?
[06:32] <dabaR> that is what vsftpd is
[06:32] <Severian> jubei, I don't remember what the parameters looked like.  They were to specify io ports and irq, but I did not save the information.  I did not need it after I moved to Hoary.
[06:32] <peej> Severian, the cool thing about debian stable was that you could stay updated/secure with very little change. Breezy seems like a testing branch of debian. I would like a clue on how breezy should be viewed.
[06:32] <Fletch> is there any mp3 players with ubuntu
[06:32] <Fletch> built in
[06:33] <ISOcrates> can you guys point me to a good tutorial on setting up apache on ubuntu?
[06:33] <Nogimics> well I need to run a ftp server on this box and asked for the best suggestions :)
