[11:42] <npnufn> magnetron: thanx, still I am in confusion how to do it!  I'll try some thing else to create my subdomain.
[11:43] <magnetron> npnufn: you'll want to add a name-based virtual host. maybe there is an #apache channel
[11:43] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: 'apt-cache search ncurses network' doesn't tell me anything useful. do you use an ncurses interface on another distribution? if yes, search ubuntuforums.org for the software you use and try to find a deb-repository with it in
[11:44] <npnufn> magnetron: thanx for right direction!
[11:46] <illissius> hi. whenever I try using mupen64 (an N64 emulator), it works, but after a few minutes it crashes the X server, which then goes into an infinite crash-restart loop (as far as I can tell), and I have to reboot
[11:46] <illissius> anyone have an idea why this is and how I can cause it to no longer be?
[11:47] <moldy> can i install a printer using a PDD file?
[11:47] <moldy> note: PDD, not PPD
[11:48] <illissius> I think it might be an OpenGL issue, but I don't remember Beryl having the same problem
[11:49] <PrMoriarty> how can in uninstall a package with apt-get?
[11:49] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: that sounds like a pretty specific problem. when x starts continuously starting and crashing, you can probably stop that by going to a console and killing gdm.
[11:49] <bcbooteR> is everyone else going inot the overflow channel when they try to connect #linux?
[11:49] <illissius> I tried
[11:50] <illissius> it doesn't respond
[11:50] <howlingmadhowie> PrMoriarty: 'man apt-get' (the answer you want is apt-get remove)
[11:50] <illissius> (to anything, pretty much)
[11:50] <PrMoriarty> howlingmadhowie: X
[11:50] <illissius> pressing the power button gets it to initiate shutdown, that's about it
[11:51] <PrMoriarty> howlingmadhowie: you can t just say me the keyword?
[11:51] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: he did.  apt-get remove appname
[11:51] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: when it happens the next time go to alt+ctrl+F2 and log yourself in (you can come back to the windowing system by alt+ctrl+f7). there you can switch off the windowing system and restart it. (but you may have already tried that)
[11:51] <sveweck> Hi guys. `/etc/init.d/mysql start` produces a "[fail] " message. Anything I could do to fix it, or at least get a verbose error message?
[11:51] <illissius> yes, I tried this
[11:52] <PrMoriarty> ok i find in man too
[11:52] <illissius> ctrl-alt-Fanything doesn't work, nor does ctrl-alt-backspace, or anything else I could try
[11:52] <PrMoriarty> just tired to learn sutff of your OS
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: have you tried creating a database? (i think under ubuntu you have to do that first before you can start mysql)
[11:52] <illissius> the X crashing repeatedly isn't the main problem, anyways
[11:52] <illissius> it's that X crashes in the first place whenever I use mupen64
[11:53] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: yes, MySQL was working fine until now, it already has a website's database inside.
[11:53] <illissius> (and oddly enough, not instantly, but after a few minutes)
[11:53] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: then i think the problem is a bit too specific for me.
[11:53] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: the problem began after a cold reboot
[11:53] <IanTheMoxious> does anybody have time to help a newbie with a partitioning problem?
[11:53] <illissius> howlingmadhowie: okay, thanks for the help
[11:54] <Ozy> howlingmadhowie: just some consoel based network configurator would be nice
[11:54] <illissius> in case it's a general OpenGL issue (I don't really use any other OpenGL apps), do you have any ideas in that case?
[11:54] <sveweck> !ask | IanTheMoxious
[11:54] <ubotu> IanTheMoxious: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:54] <IanTheMoxious> ok cool, thanks
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: oh, now that could be the reason. try starting mysql from the command line (i.e. mysqld_safe) and using various command-line options
[11:55] <Cyber34> Thank you Howling, that worked fine
[11:55] <ubuntu1098765432> does ubuntu have a defragmentation tool?
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: you can check if opengl is configured and working by entering 'glxgears'
[11:56] <IanTheMoxious> I am new to linux and partitioning for that matter.  My hard disk currently has a mess of partitions on it (from a linux install and windows) all I want to do is get rid of all the partitions and gather it into one large disk again
[11:56] <sveweck> ubuntu1098765432: it isn't supposed to need one
[11:56] <illissius> opengl itself works
[11:56] <howlingmadhowie> ubuntu1098765432: no. defragmentation happens continuously in the background
[11:56] <illissius> like, for a few minutes, it works perfectly
[11:56] <illissius> and then X crashes
[11:56] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: what sort of graphics card do you have?
[11:56] <ubuntu1098765432> I was a prior windows user and my disk is probably fragmented?  it does it in the background
[11:56] <ubuntu1098765432> ?
[11:56] <illissius> Intel 950
[11:57] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: to the best of my knowledge, the intel 950 should work well
[11:57] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: what operating system are you trying to finish with?
[11:57] <illissius> my other suspicion is that it's a memory leak
[11:57] <illissius> e.g. X gets killed by OOM
[11:57] <ubuntu1098765432> So defragmentation happens in the background, automatically?
[11:57] <Balachmar> Hi, does anyone know of a program in which I can add highlights and comments to a pdf?
[11:58] <illissius> which would explain why it only happens after a few minutes, and perhaps why it keeps recrashing afterwards
[11:58] <sveweck> Balachmar: okular, I think
[11:58] <IanTheMoxious> well, I plan on wiping the disk clean, installing windows (because I need it for a few programs) and then also installing Ubuntu (my first time with ubuntu).  In other words, I want to start over with a clean disk that has no partitions
[11:58] <Cyber34> ubuntu1098765432: from what I understand Linux runs differently than windows, you don't need to defragment at all
[11:58] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: sounds possible. i wouldn't want to hazard a guess however, because i really don't know
[11:58] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok I am looking into it
[11:59] <howlingmadhowie> ubuntu1098765432: it depends upon your file system type. the default type under ubuntu defragments itself in the background automagically
[11:59] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: I think in the process of installing Windows, you can delete all partitions.  I haven't tried it recently though.
[11:59] <ubuntu1098765432> I chose Guided-replace all space when I set-up
[11:59] <bcbooteR> IanTheMoxious, you want(need) separate partitions for windows and ubuntu.
[11:59] <illissius> trouble is, in Gentoo I'd just try different versions of X, the kernel, and whatever else, until I find one that works
[11:59] <bcbooteR> they cant be on the same partition
[12:00] <ubuntu1098765432> I chose to do the whole drive and remove all disk space on partition
[12:00] <illissius> but I don't know what I can in this situation with Ubuntu
[12:00] <bcbooteR> basically u want either 4 or 3  partitions if running ops's, linux swap, linux / , windows
[12:00] <IanTheMoxious> yes, I know I need separate partitions, what I am saying is I have a mess of them now and I want them all gone so I can start from scratch.. I didn't know that windows had such a nice partitioning tool
[12:00] <ubuntu1098765432> All I have is ubuntu on the guided install to use whole disk....
[12:00] <bcbooteR> OH
[12:00] <troughton> i am wanting to ask some one about partitioning a hard drive to install multipul versions of linux i know i can only have 4 primary partitions so my question is dose the home folder have to be on a primary and dose the root directory need to be on a primary ?
[12:01] <illissius> the W2K installer, at least, lets you delete partitions iirc
[12:01] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: but you can also like use a livecd and use gparted, qtparted, parted, fdisk or something to delete them
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I am currently running on an Ubuntu live cd
[12:02] <illissius> or cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda for the hardcore :> (note: don't do this unless you really want to wipe the disk.)
[12:02] <Kawika> illissius: using the livecd may be the best option at this point.
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I have looked at the partitioning tool that it comes with, but I don't understand anything about how it works
[12:02] <ubuntu1098765432> LAST desperate question if answered-  How do I get a higher resolution with the desktop effects standard with an ATI radeon 9600 card... Higher resolution like I had on windows above 10240X768  ....higher than this??? I've done everything including crash my system and NO answer?  So anyone with balls and a solution is welcome to give it a stab?!
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I am a complete newbie
[12:03] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: does right click on a partition, choose delete work?
[12:03] <IanTheMoxious> well, I haven't tried illissius because it has lock symbles next to several of the linux partitions (swap and extended)
[12:03] <illissius> hmm
[12:04] <illissius> the swap is in the extended partition?
[12:04] <illissius> it's probably using it :|
[12:04] <IanTheMoxious> Oh, sorry but I don't know what that means.. my feet are barely wet with linux
[12:05] <illissius> well, try deleting it anyways
[12:05] <illissius> either it won't let you, it'll stop using it before deleting
[12:05] <erUSUL> !fixres | ubuntu1098765432
[12:05] <troughton> you have to unmout any partition you want to format ianthemoxious
[12:05] <ubotu> ubuntu1098765432: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:05] <IanTheMoxious> the delete function is greyed out on the extened and swap partitions so that I cannot do it
[12:06] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: do Alt-F2, xterm, to open a terminal
[12:06] <bimmelim> how do I share a directory over LAN?
[12:06] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after installation it says my x server graphical interface wasnt installed correctly and prompts me to a user command thing... what to do?
[12:07] <illissius> and then sudo swapoff in the terminal
[12:07] <IanTheMoxious> ok, but a quick question... I don't even know what the swap is lol
[12:07] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after installation it says my x server graphical interface wasnt installed correctly and prompts me to a user command thing... what to do?
[12:08] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: much like Windows has a swap file, Linux creates a partition it uses to temporarily store info
[12:08] <illissius> when your physical memory (where your running programs are stored) gets full, it stores the excess on the hard disk, which is called the swap
[12:08] <ubuntu1098765432> I saw that link earlier and it didn't work for me
[12:08] <IanTheMoxious> oh ok I get it
[12:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what tells you to enter a command? does some sort of graphical interface start, or does it look like an old dos window?
[12:09] <Quinton_> its liek
[12:09] <Quinton_> black
[12:09] <Quinton_> white font
[12:09] <bcbooteR> UR A ROCK AND ROLL START BABY FEEL MY LOVE : ) I LOVE U ALL
[12:09] <Quinton_> says x graphical interface doesnt work
[12:09] <Quinton_> and now
[12:09] <Quinton_> has
[12:10] <IanTheMoxious> now all partitions are locked and greyed out
[12:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: please don't use <enter> for punctuation :)
[12:10] <Quinton_> quinton@ ubuntu: ~$ with a blinking cursor
[12:10] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: from the swapoff thing? that's... odd. try restarting the partitioning tool
[12:11] <vandenoever> hi, i'm trying to install krb5-user, but get a package error
[12:11] <vandenoever>   krb5-user: Depends: libkadm55 but it is not going to be installed
[12:11] <vandenoever>              Depends: libkadm55 (= 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.4) but it is not going to be installed
[12:11] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: tool restarted, all still locked
[12:12] <ge2x> if i remove ubuntu-desktop would that mess things up?
[12:12] <vandenoever> problem is i cannot install libkadm55
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then you are now on the command line. what sort of graphics card do you have, and what command did it suggest exactly?
[12:12] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: fixable?
[12:13] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: hmm :/. how big is your hard disk?
[12:13] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious:  if you have a computer you can burn a CD, try this: http://partitionlogic.org.uk/
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: don't know yet. probably. if you saw a windowing environment when you installed (i.e. you installed from a standard live cd) then it most definately is fixable
[12:13] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: installed from text mode
[12:13] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: about 500G total
[12:14] <vandenoever> libkadm55: Depends: libkrb53 (= 1.4.3-5) but 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.4 is to be installed
[12:14] <vandenoever> so, both are 1.4.3-5, i dont see where the error is
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: so what's your graphics card? 'lspci | grep VGA'
[12:14] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nvidia
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: which model?
[12:15] <IanTheMoxious> kawika: great thanks for the recommendationg I may have to use it
[12:15] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no clue.... sony vaio vgn-ar520e
[12:15] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is the computer model number
[12:15] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: it seems like an easy way out of a jam :p
[12:15] <Balachmar> sveweck: okular doesn't run under gnome
[12:15] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: the partitioning tool shows the device for the partitions, like /dev/hda1 right?
[12:16] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: yes
[12:16] <Souljah> hi guys
[12:16] <Souljah> i need some help
[12:16] <sveweck> Balachmar: it does.
[12:16] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: GeForce 8400M GT
[12:16] <Souljah> i'm unable to install the latest skype version
[12:16] <Balachmar> sveweck: I have just installed it from the repos...
[12:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: howlingmadhowie: if thats what sony says
[12:16] <illissius> do sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda (whatever it shows, without the number at the end) in the terminal, stop it (ctrl-c) after a few seconds, and reboot the livecd
[12:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: but thats supported isnt it?
[12:16] <Balachmar> sveweck: but I can't find it anywhere and get this:
[12:16] <sveweck> Balachmar: and the problem is?
[12:16] <Balachmar>  /usr/lib/kde4/bin/okular
[12:16] <Balachmar> /usr/lib/kde4/bin/okular: error while loading shared libraries: libkparts.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:16] <illissius> that's a rather ugly solution, but you want to wipe the disk anyways, so it should work :>
[12:17] <sveweck> Balachmar: you also need to install KDE4's kdelibs
[12:17] <Kawika> illissius: if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer :p
[12:17] <illissius> yep
[12:17] <IanTheMoxious> heh
[12:17] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd suggest changing the video driver back to something very simple. like 'vesa'. can you manage that yourself, or should i tell you how to do that?
[12:18] <IanTheMoxious> ok guys, going to go play.  thanks
[12:18] <illissius> if violence doesn't solve the problem, you're not using enough of it
[12:18] <Kawika> illissius: hehe
[12:18] <sirbijan> hey ppl
[12:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: please tell
[12:18] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: happy trails...
[12:18] <sirbijan> got this stupid question
[12:18] <ianRG> greets gents
[12:18] <Balachmar> sveweck: weird that wasn't a dependancy..
[12:18] <Frezeeer> hi, I just lost the trash function, I mean I have the trash in my desktop but it appears to be empty, but /home/xxx/.Trash does have the files, any idea how to set it back to "normal" behavior????
[12:18] <sirbijan> anybody ready to be shot?!
[12:18] <sirbijan> with my question of course ;)
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. from where you are now, type the following: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
[12:18] <sveweck> Frezeeer: gnome or kde?
[12:19] <ianRG> hypothetically i want to upgrade apache2.0 to 2.1 or any other common program for that matter. can i just "apt-get upgrade"
[12:19] <Frezeeer> sveweck:  gnome
[12:19] <Balachmar> sveweck: just installed the kdelibs and it still doesn't work... get the same error
[12:19] <Souljah> Ok finally
[12:19] <Souljah> All right
[12:19] <Souljah> I'm trying to install skype v1.4
[12:19] <Souljah> however
[12:20] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf permission denied
[12:20] <Souljah> it says i need many dependecies
[12:20] <Souljah> like libasound2
[12:20] <Souljah> i don't have the latest one
[12:20] <sveweck> Balachmar: are you sure you installed the KDE4 kdelibs and not the KDE3?
[12:20] <Souljah> and synaptic doesn't provide it
[12:20] <Souljah> how do i make the latest skype work for ubuntu 6.06
[12:20] <Souljah> dapper drake
[12:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, sorry. my bad: 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old' then enter your password when it asks for it
[12:20] <Balachmar> sveweck: yes
[12:21] <Kawika> ianRG: I just tried that.  I think that command will look for all upgrades ??
[12:21] <Balachmar> sveweck: I think I also have kdelibs5
[12:21] <Kawika> ianRG: I'm running Ubuntu Feisty, and in the GUI, I get a notification of upgrades available.
[12:21] <sveweck> that's it exactly
[12:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: do i type all of that in one enter?
[12:21] <Souljah> Anyone?
[12:21] <sveweck> Balachmar: ls /usr/lib/kde4/lib/
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: yep. hangon, i'll paste something on pastebin
[12:22] <illissius> frowns
[12:22] <Balachmar> sveweck: it has a folder kde4 in it
[12:22] <illissius> is there any safe way to install a newer version of X.org and/or the intel graphics driver and/or the kernel, than what is available in the feisty repos?
[12:22] <attunix> hi
[12:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says the commands not found
[12:23] <Kawika> Souljah: how did you install Skype?
[12:23] <sveweck> Balachmar: then ls /usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/
[12:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: guide me through how to enter all this.... lol
[12:23] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok, what am I looking for?
[12:24] <Jordan_U> illissius, Are you using -intel or i810?
[12:24] <illissius>         Driver          "i810"
[12:24] <Jordan_U> illissius, install xorg-driver-intel
[12:25] <sveweck> Balachmar: libkparts.so.4
[12:25] <Jordan_U> illissius, Then replace "i810" with "intel" or reconfigure X
[12:25] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | illissius
[12:25] <ubotu> illissius: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[12:25] <Balachmar> sveweck: I have that in the first folder you pointed me :)
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31377/
[12:26] <illissius> Jordan_U: xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[12:26] <Balachmar> sveweck: libkparts.so.5
[12:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i will try
[12:27] <illissius> alright, let's see..
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: let me know how far you get
[12:27] <sveweck> Balachmar: try symlinking libkparts.so.4 to it
[12:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: stuck
[12:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i enter >sudo -i and it says command not found
[12:28] <KaZeR> ++
[12:29] <Souljah> Kawika, please check your query
[12:29] <bcbooteR> is there a plugin for linux that lets me play wma ??
[12:29] <Kawika> Souljah: did you install via Synaptic?
[12:29] <Souljah> yes Kawika
[12:30] <Souljah> it says i need dependencies
[12:30] <Souljah> however
[12:30] <Souljah> i have them
[12:30] <Souljah> not the update version
[12:30] <Souljah> and synaptic
[12:30] <illissius> it flashed ominously a couple of times while starting up, but X and opengl still seem to work; now let's see if it'll crash
[12:30] <Souljah> doesn't have the update version
[12:30] <illissius> *plays mario64*
[12:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter 'which sudo'. does it say something or does the prompt come straight back?
[12:30] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok, I now get another error I will try to find that and simlink it as well
[12:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now it says root@ubuntu:~# so what do i type now?
[12:31] <howlingmadhowie> carry on with the instructions :)
[12:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: they didnt work... i dont know what im doing wrong.... what exactly do i type after that?
[12:32] <sveweck> Balachmar: ok do it. as far as I can see, the problem is with the braindead ubuntu convention of calling the Nth unstable package of something, "something-N+1"
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I don't have libkwalletclient.so.4
[12:32] <Kawika> Souljah: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[12:32] <sveweck> Balachmar: how about .5?
[12:32] <Souljah> dapper drake
[12:32] <Souljah> 6.06
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I meant 5, else I would have simlinked it
[12:32] <Souljah> Kawika,
[12:32] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: after you have root access (which you now have), type 'cd /etc/X11'
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I do have libkwalletbackend.so.5
[12:33] <Kawika> Souljah, in Synaptic, do you have all the repositories selected ?
[12:33] <sveweck> Balachmar: maybe you also need KDE4's kdebase
[12:33] <sveweck> Balachmar: I really am at loss
[12:33] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok thanks I will try that
[12:33] <Souljah> Kawika, yes. i have all the repositories selected
[12:33] <Souljah> it wasn't at first
[12:33] <Balachmar> sveweck: although I have kdebase-bin
[12:34] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: cp /etc/X11  CP: missing destination file operand after '/etc/X11
[12:34] <Kawika> Souljah: I'm on Feisty, and did the install through Synaptic, and it seemed to install straight through.
[12:34] <sveweck> Balachmar: check also in /usr/lib directly
[12:34] <Souljah> Kawika, i did a forum search
[12:34] <Souljah> and it appears
[12:34] <Souljah> on dapper drake
[12:34] <Souljah> it doesn't work
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 'cd /etc/X11', not 'cp /etc/X11...' this time. i'm just moving you to the directory so the filenames are shorter
[12:35] <Balachmar> sveweck: there it is, only version 1
[12:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cd = change directory, cp = copy
[12:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok now what?
[12:35] <sveweck> Balachmar: I don't think this is of use
[12:35] <Plantain> Anyone know a quality (preferably easy to use) screen recorder for Ubuntu?
[12:35] <Souljah> ok Kawika you know where i can get the older version of skype
[12:36] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type 'ls'. do you see an xorg.conf? do you see any other files starting with xorg.conf (for example xorg.conf.backup)? if so, what are they called?
[12:36] <Balachmar> sveweck: ghe ghe
[12:36] <sveweck> Plantain: "Istanbul" iirc
[12:36] <sveweck> or Tzarigrad
[12:36] <sveweck> or something
[12:36] <Kawika> Souljah: have you seen this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Messenger_.28Skype.29
[12:36] <moldy> which package do i need to install in order to mount ciffs shares?
[12:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: xorg.conf and xorg.conf.old
[12:37] <mrigns> http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Microsoft_DIGG_New_Partnership_Launches_MS_Press_Release
[12:37] <mrigns> opps
[12:37] <mrigns> wrong channel sorry
[12:37] <mrigns> >_<
[12:37] <Souljah> Kawika, yes i have seen that
[12:37] <gast_> Hello, did anyone here has  experienced CMD or TMJ Treatment ? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint_disorder), ( http://www.headandneck.com/book/)), I'm looking for treatment discussions.
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. try the following: 'cat xorg.conf | grep Device'. do you see the word "nvidia", "nv", or "vesa"? if so, which one?
[12:38] <Kawika> Souljah: and those steps didn't work for you?
[12:38] <kahrytan> Plantain: Just type "screen reader" and linux into google.
[12:38] <sveweck> gast_: wrong channel, here we do user support for Ubuntu
[12:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it just loaded the same roo ubuntu etc x11 thingy and shown nothing
[12:39] <Souljah> Kawika, no it didn't work Kawika
[12:39] <Souljah> do you have a link to an older verison of skype Kawika
[12:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on. if you enter 'cat xorg.conf', do you get a lot of text whizzing by?
[12:39] <Grnsgrf> hi, i wanted to restart my /etc/init.d/hotplug in feisty, but there is no /etc/init.d/hotplug, nor a coldplug etc. am i doing something wrong? ;)
[12:39] <moldy> i don't understand the update-rc.d manpage: how do i properly disable a service?
[12:40] <moldy> disable = do not start it in any runlevels
[12:40] <LuitvD> why can't my Network Manager configure my wireless device correctly? I installed the SVN version of the rt61 driver, but I can't make Network Manager use it correctly
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> Grnsgrf: as far as i know, it's now called 'hal'
[12:40] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah....
[12:40] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: thanks. sudo mysqld_safe gives this error: http://nopaste.com/p/acZRMQddU . Googled it, no luck :(
[12:40] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: ah, thx
[12:40] <Grnsgrf> hoarycripple: ill try
[12:40] <gast_> sveweck: Yes, but where to ask?
[12:40] <Kawika> Souljah: I'd guess you can try http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ and see if the Debian Etch version worked.
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, we're going to open a text editor and edit xorg.conf. enter the following: 'nano -w xorg.conf'
[12:41] <sveweck> gast_: USENET is one option.
[12:41] <Souljah> i will try that Kawika
[12:41] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[12:41] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: oh, now that's strange. maybe you have to explicitly start mysqld in a server mode? i dunno
[12:41] <j_antonio> .. ,,m,
[12:41] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: hm, dont have a hal, either
[12:42] <seete3> Hello. I need to backup my USB stick as an image (ISO).. so I am able to make a clone of it to copy to another. What open source programs are there that allow me to do this?..I'm using both ubuntu and windows.
[12:42] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: do you think it could be dbus or so?
[12:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: use the arrow keys to scroll down the text until you find the Section "Device"
[12:43] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: I don't see any relevant options in there. well, thanks.
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: inputdevice?
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Grnsgrf: i don't thnk so. to the best of my knowledge, hotplugging is manged by the hal daemon on ubuntu
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh nvm... found it
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what's the name of the Driver?
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nv
[12:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. change the driver to "vesa"
[12:44] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: just backspace and type it in?
[12:44] <c0rnd0g> is there any web browser available in ubuntu fiesty that is not based off netscape/mozilla?
[12:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: exactly
[12:44] <Souljah> Kawika, the etch version is also 1.4
[12:44] <sveweck> c0rnd0g: yes, Konqueror
[12:44] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok... now what?
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type Ctrl+O to save, and Ctrl+X to quit
[12:45] <sveweck> c0rnd0g: w3m too ;)
[12:45] <Kawika> Souljah: what if you try to go install the dependencies on their own.  Write down what you need and use Synaptics to update each one.
[12:45] <c0rnd0g> no opera and why?
[12:45] <sveweck> ?
[12:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is that zero or a o ?
[12:45] <Souljah> Kawika, the dependencies don't show the version requireed by skype
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's an 'o' like oscar :)
[12:45] <Souljah> for example
[12:45] <LiberCogito> Just switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu... where is the xubuntu equivilent of network tools?
[12:45] <Kawika> seete3: something like this? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-creating-cd-rom-iso-image.html
[12:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok all saved and i ctrl-x now what?
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: then i can't really help. i've never had a problem with a mysql server myself
[12:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh yeah it wrote 159 lines
[12:46] <Kawika> SoulJah: let me look.
[12:46] <Souljah> ok Kawika
[12:46] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type '/etc/init.d/?dm restart'
[12:46] <moldy> is there an NFSv4 howto for ubuntu?
[12:47] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: k, thanks.
[12:47] <Souljah> Kawika,
[12:47] <moldy> damn search engine spamming... hard to google such stuff :(
[12:47] <Souljah> skype:

[12:47] <Souljah> that's what it says i need
[12:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works so far
[12:47] <Souljah> and all those files are as updated
[12:47] <maz_> i need help with asterisk, i need to configure with 2 analog modem
[12:47] <Souljah> for libasound2
[12:47] <Souljah> it's 1.0.10
[12:47] <Souljah> i can't get any higher
[12:47] <Souljah> from synaptic
[12:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =D wow
[12:47] <Keith> Anyone able to help with UNRARing a file? I tried to install rar but I got this error: Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:48] <kahrytan> !spam | Souljah
[12:48] <ubotu> Souljah: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[12:48] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you should get some sort of windowing environment. the resolution is probably awful, but it's a start. the next job is to install the correct driver (vesa is just there to help you out in an emergency)
[12:48] <Keith> !rar
[12:48] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[12:48] <linuxor> Hi, I've installed Qt4, but I can not find it in the panel, so how to do ? please
[12:48] <c0rnd0g> gosh democracy-player is retarded oh well
[12:48] <maz_> keith: sudo apt-get install unrar
[12:48] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: i dont really need it, but i was just interested in this, thank you
[12:48] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how do i turn on all the cool windows effects?
[12:48] <maz_> !asterisk
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about asterisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <seete3> Kawika:  looks good, but i need some more commands for dd
[12:48] <Keith> maz: Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:48] <Keith> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:48] <Keith> is only available from another source
[12:48] <LiberCogito> just installed xubuntu, I'm used to ubuntu...where are my network tools at? >.<
[12:49] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:49] <maz_> keith have you multiverse rep ?
[12:49] <kahrytan> LiberCogito: consider asking #xubuntu?
[12:50] <LiberCogito> kahrytan: Tried that. 60 dead people in it, :)
[12:50] <maz_> keith: if you have universe rep try unrar-free
[12:50] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: until you've installed the correct driver, the 3d effects won't work. as i don't have a modern nvidia card, i don't know which driver you should install now. try searching ubuntuforums.org. something else you can try is System->Administration->'management of limited drivers' (or whatever it's called in your system language (I'm using german myself, so that's just a rough translation))
[12:50] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: why is it have horrible speed issues on 2000ddr memory?
[12:50] <kahrytan> LiberCogito: now you know why I stuck to ubuntu instead of kubuntu
[12:51] <shomon> I have an old laptop with windows 95 on it. I've tried installing all kinds of things on it and it's never worked. Is there an online list of systems, especially old laptops, that I can check to see if it will work before going to the trouble of downloading?
[12:51] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if the windowing environment is slow, it's because you're using the vesa driver. it's just there to help out in an emergency. these issues will be resolved when you instlal the correct driver
[12:51] <Kawika> Souljah: It seems a bit like your synaptics is out of date.  As I'm a bit new to ubuntu, i'm not sure when they stop posting updates for the older versions.
[12:51] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: from the nvidia website?
[12:51] <j2dope> hi all, is there any text editor for ubuntu like 'pspad' for windows?
[12:51] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:51] <igglybuff> hi
[12:51] <Souljah> dapper drake 6.06
[12:51] <Souljah> is still supported
[12:51] <maz_> shomon: try http://tuxmobil.org/
[12:51] <igglybuff> where i can found vim 7.1 on deb?
[12:51] <Souljah> i don't see why they stop posting updates
[12:52] <igglybuff> anybody know?
[12:52] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd be surprised if you have to go to the bother to go to the nvidia website. i'd imagine you can install them using synaptic packet manager
[12:52] <Keith> maz_:  I got the same error
[12:52] <Keith> maz_:  not sure what universes I have, how do I tell?
[12:52] <Kawika> Souljah: in Synaptic, hit the Reload button.  Make sure you have that additional repository specified also in synaptic.
[12:52] <maz_> keith: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:53] <shomon> thanks maz_ ! i also have a g3 with slightly less memory than needed for OSX. Will Xubuntu work on that?
[12:53] <Souljah> yes Kawika i have that selected
[12:53] <kahrytan> Souljah: maybe there isnt any?
[12:53] <igglybuff> please, help me
[12:53] <igglybuff> <:
[12:53] <Souljah> all the reps are selected
[12:53] <Souljah> the latest version is not showing up on synaptic
[12:53] <Souljah> for some reason
[12:53] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not work at all. It does not update, thus, it does not notify me.
[12:53] <Keith> maz_: I installed unrar-free at the terminal
[12:53] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i have a sony vaio vgn-ar520e model.... errr any idea what my driver is and if synaptic will have it?
[12:54] <maz_> keith : well done
[12:54] <kahrytan> Souljah: Repos only get security fixes
[12:54] <Souljah> community maintained
[12:54] <Kawika> Souljah: I'll have to get a DD system loaded up to see some of the differences.  It's pushing 1am here, so will be sometime tomorrow
[12:54] <Souljah> i have that selected
[12:54] <maz_> nobody knows asterisk ?
[12:54] <VSpike> igglybuff: its in gutsy so you could use prevu to backport it
[12:54] <Souljah> yes Kawika that's fine
[12:55] <igglybuff> ok, thankd
[12:55] <linuxor> igglybuff, http://www.vim.org/
[12:55] <VSpike> !prevu | igglybuff
[12:55] <ubotu> igglybuff: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[12:56] <esteem> Hello. I'm trying to backup my CF (flash USB CARD) using DD. I'm in linux right now. I unmounted the volume first, ( # unmount /media/FD) Then done ( dd if=/media/FD of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso) but it did not seem to work ( it didn't do anything, and went onto the next line awaiting another command. The data is about 400mb on the USB CF Card)
[12:56] <VSpike> igglybuff: or just compile from source of course
[12:56] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i imagine that will be the newest nvidia driver
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is that driver compatible?
[12:56] <Keith> maz_:  Do I just type 'unrar-free filename.rar' to unrar a file now?
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: im on 6.10 ghusty....
[12:56] <Kawika> esteem: I think I had sent you the prior link.  Try this one.  Seems to be more for DD: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/DapperGuide#How_to_create_Image_.28ISO.29_files_from_folders
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: someone told me too... ><;
[12:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 6.10 edgy eft, or 7.10 gutsy gibbon?
[12:57] <maz_> keith: yes
[12:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: edgy thats is
[12:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: whats the difference in all of them?
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd try opening 'System->Administration->Synaptic package manager', search for 'nvidia' and then select 'nvidia-glx'. click on install
[12:58] <GiZiM> Howdy all - Anybody know of a program that will allow me to record me playing oh lets see World of Warcraft kinda like how FRAPS does it in Windows? Also any idea on a really good video editing program?
[12:58] <maz_> estee: i think you must use the device not the mount point
[12:58] <maz_> estee: dd if=/dev/sda1 for example
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: well, the first two numbers tell you the date the distribution was launched (6.10 is october 2006)
[12:59] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it asked for acd so im letting it load =]
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd really install 7.04 in your case. there's no point using older software. if you have a fast internet connection, you can update 6.10 to 7.04 without needing to reinstall. what's acd?
[01:00] <kahrytan> GiZiM: Recordmydesktop
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, a cd :)
[01:00] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: and this will install the driver and add a better visual to the screen also make the screen resolution fit?
[01:00] <kahrytan> GiZiM: gtk-recordmydesktop for gui
[01:00] <GiZiM> Thanks
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if this works, this will mean you are using the official nvidia display driver
[01:00] <shomon> will xubuntu work on a g3?
[01:01] <kahrytan> GiZiM: hard part is getting the sound configured.
[01:01] <linuxor> HI, where can I find synaptic cash or temporary files ??
[01:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you may have to set the resolution yourself (i'm not sure how good the driver is at guessing the right resolution to use)
[01:01] <professor> Hey guys I was wondering what is the best way to configure ubuntu, Im a noob and was wondering how do I find out if everyting is working
[01:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i did the restart like it asked
[01:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and did it work?
[01:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i dunno its booting =p
[01:02] <Kawika> professor: one way that I have noticed is to go to System->Administration->System Log and see if errors are showing up there.
[01:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah it shows picture still...
[01:02] <itguru> Mmmmm... ubuntu live CD - just saved my ass again!
[01:03] <itguru> well, help me to save someone elses ass
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's a good sign. let's see if 3d acceleration is working. what happens if you do the following: Alt+F2: 'glxgears' <enter>
[01:03] <professor> Kawika: yea there is
[01:03] <fcojavier> ola
[01:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: soooo how do i go about adding them cool effects to burn the screen away when closed and make them wobble and alternate and stuff all cool?
[01:03] <fcojavier> tengo 12
[01:03] <Kawika> professor: I have an Edubuntu system that keeps trying to start some fan somewhere.  Quite annoying.
[01:04] <professor> var/run/cups/certs
[01:04] <fcojavier> afjakljla
[01:04] <esteem__> why do you need to unmount file systems when u want to back them up (e.g. flash usb stick?)
[01:04] <itguru> I do have a quick question, how do I ping computers by thier netbios name?
[01:04] <kahrytan> !effects | Quinton_
[01:04] <ubotu> Quinton_: For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[01:04] <professor> Kawika: var/run/cups/certs
[01:04] <kahrytan> !compiz | Quinton_

[01:04] <Kawika> professor: is that related to an error you are getting?
[01:05] <Quinton_> kahrytan: im not that smart >>;
[01:05] <burnerx> hi
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd recommend updating to 7.04 before you do anything else. did you try the command i gave you?
[01:05] <itguru> itguru
[01:05] <professor> oh i was just curious how I know everything is working, cause in device manager, some stuff says the name but for capabilities it says unknown
[01:05] <esteem__> When I use "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip --fast > hda.img.gzAnd" (without quotes).. where does the 'hda.img.gzAnd' File go ? Thanks
[01:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: hm? what command? im installing updates =D
[01:05] <burnerx> anyone know how to run application using wine???
[01:05] <professor> Kawika: oh i was just curious how I know everything is working, cause in device manager, some stuff says the name but for capabilities it says unknown
[01:06] <kahrytan> Quinton_: 7.04 has the effects install. just need drivers and turn them on
[01:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: Alt+F2: 'glxgears' <enter>
[01:06] <kacee> hi, I'm trying to stream from my webcam with VLC in Ubuntu 7.04. Unfortunatly I get the error: "main private error: cannot add this stream" , with this command : http://pastebin.com/m25e203c7. Anybody familiar with this erro?
[01:06] <kahrytan> burnerx: type wine application.exe into console. (assuming wine is installed)
[01:06] <Kawika> professor: oh ok.  cups has to do with printing from my limited knowledge.
[01:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: its just doing nothing?
[01:07] <professor> hmm
[01:07] <professor> not trying to print anything, but I do have a printer installed
[01:08] <Kawika> professor: is there more info in the error ?
[01:08] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's not a good sign. try: Alt+F2 'nvidia-settings' <enter>
[01:08] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: loaded
[01:08] <Kawika> professor: I've installed on an early P4 Intel motherboard/chip and so far everything is running pretty good.
[01:08] <professor> Kawika:  yea it says creating a missing directory, and then exactly what I told you.
[01:09] <Kawika> professor: are you running from the live cd or did you do the install ?
[01:09] <professor> Kawika: I installed
[01:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i think i'd really recommend updating to 7.04. (so either installing new or using the system update option in the update manager)
[01:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i am right after the updates.... whys it so important to upgrade?
[01:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: because 7.04 is better than 6.10 :)
[01:11] <Kawika> professor: unfortunately with my knowledge at this time, i don't know that there is a single location to tell if everything is good to go.
[01:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: alrighty
[01:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and there's no reason not to
[01:11] <professor> hmmm ok
[01:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: will i have the cool screen effects?
[01:11] <Kawika> professor: I just know this computer runs fine with whatever I've thrown at it, and my Edubuntu Server has that darn fan error message in System Log. :-(
[01:12] <professor> lol

[01:12] <esteem__> how do I delete via terminal?
[01:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: but updating will probably take about an hour. you should be able to activate the cube and wobbly-windows straight away. i've only got a really old graphics card myself, so i don't use them (i also find some software which i use doesn't like the cube effects)
[01:13] <professor> Kawika: another question do you know how to use wireshark

[01:14] <professor> well thanks anyway
[01:14] <Kawika> kahrytan: I'm not surprised.  I'm a big fan of Seagate drives.
[01:14] <kahrytan> Kawika: They do make reliable drives with 5 yr warrenties. And own Maxtor now
[01:15] <Kawika> kahrytan: I know.  I own a bit over a TB of Seagate :p

[01:16] <LuitvD> hi
[01:16] <kahrytan> Kawika: I have 80gb hdd but I havent got a chance to use it. It's SATA and I can use IDE on this system. System build in progress
[01:16] <LuitvD> how do I tell usplash to use a different resolution?

[01:18] <esteem__> The command '# unmount /FD/media' does not unmount the volume (flash drive). Why is this? Thanks
[01:18] <Kawika> kahrytan: my main system boots to a 80gb SATA, with a 200GB and a 320GB SATA data drive.
[01:18] <LuitvD> crypto: remember that samba is better at windows networking then windows itself
[01:18] <kahrytan> Kawika: You sure you got enough space? {-P
[01:18] <crypto> i don't know if this problem is related to winxp firewall. i have turned it off and i'm not able to conclude if firewall is the culprit.
[01:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: my wireless internet i havent tried yet.... photoshop.... and the upgrade wont work
[01:18] <kahrytan> :-P
[01:18] <crypto> is there a setting in samba which times out a connection?

[01:19] <Kawika> kahrytan: yup, that's part of my workflow now :p
[01:20] <JustAFreq> What is proper protocol (other than simply asking) for getting an question answered ?
[01:20] <kahrytan> Kawika: In meantime, get two 500gb drives
[01:20] <JustAFreq> esteem just type "mount"
[01:20] <Kawika> crypto: I know in networking in general, there tends to be a time before everything gets "announced"
[01:20] <kahrytan> Kawika: and dump 80gb for $30-$40 on ebay
[01:20] <Kawika> kahrytan: I was actually looking at those the other day.

[01:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: wireless: depends on what wireless card you have. support is a lot better in 7.04 than in 6.10. photoshop: there isn't a linux version of this. you can try to use the windows version in an emulator or install windows in a virtual machine inside linux, or use the gimp (which is about as powerful, but the GUI is very different). if the upgrade isn't working, i'd suggest downloading the 7.04 cd and installing new
[01:20] <dmb062082> anyideas
[01:21] <kahrytan> Kawika: might get lucky at costco.
[01:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: upgrades working now...
[01:21] <dmb062082> gimp is nice next to photoshop
[01:21] <mosno> is breezy no longer supported? i'm having trouble finding end-of-life info on the wiki
[01:21] <crypto> Kawika: that's the only conclusion i have come to aswell
[01:22] <howlingmadhowie> dmb062082: i love the gimp myself, with the result that i find photoshop difficult. i imagine it's the other way round for people coming from photoshop to the gimp
[01:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: theres a linux version of photoshop?
[01:22] <Kawika> crypto: you can also try mapping directly to the drives via a command prompt (\\Server\Share)
[01:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: not in this century there isn't.
[01:22] <dmb062082> there is a plugin i think to make gimp look an feel  a lot like photoshop as well
[01:22] <VSpike> Crypto: try typing "net view \\servername" in the command prompt on the windows box to see how quickly it responds
[01:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: so im guessing i would use wine.... ?
[01:22] <Kawika> kahrytan: Costco here doesn't have as many good options.  I'm a newegg.com fan.
[01:22] <dmb062082> wine will not load photoshop
[01:22] <Pici> mosno: Yes. Breezy is EOL.
[01:22] <crypto> Kawika: i know but i don't want to since there are 2 many shares :)
[01:22] <VSpike> crypto: problems with name resolution and logins could affect things too
[01:22] <dmb062082> at least it didnt when i was using it
[01:22] <crypto> VSpike: let me try that
[01:22] <dmb062082> use vmware
[01:23] <esteem> How do I unmount this volume using unmount/umount (((/dev/sdb1 on /media/FD))) ??
[01:23] <mosno> Pici: crap. do you know if i can somehow access the repo, or are they actually taken offline after EOL?
[01:23] <kahrytan> Kawika: costco.com is just as good.
[01:23] <Pici> mosno: I'm pretty sure all the Breezy repos are offline.
[01:23] <mosno> i just need to install some packages, i dont care if they're not updated. oh ok
[01:23] <mosno> damn
[01:23] <JustAFreq> Iesteem:  umount /media/FD
[01:23] <Kawika> kahrytan: except when you live in Hawaii :-(
[01:23] <VSpike> crypto: does your server run dns?
[01:23] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you can try wine, it may work. installing it inside a windows virtual machine is the sure fire answer. that will always work. however, i'd recommend having a look at the gimp at some stage. it is extremely powerful (it is used for example to touch up the special effects for the harry potter films amongst others)
[01:23] <crypto> VSpike: there was a lag. i suspect that if i don't use the fileserver then the connection times out
[01:23] <Pici> mosno: Information link if you're interested: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu-5.10-end-of-life
[01:23] <mosno> Pici: thanks
[01:24] <JustAFreq> esteem: OR umount /dev/sdb1
[01:24] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: I am not very fond of the gimp and dont really like it
[01:24] <Kawika> crypto: do you notice it mostly when you first boot up ?
[01:24] <ubuntu1098765432> Question: Don't send factoid on ati, specific question: How do I get ABOVE 1024X768 on ubuntu 7.04 with ATI radeon 9600 rv350 m10?
[01:24] <crypto> VSpike: my router is acting as a dns server. the file server is however a static ip (as in the router always assigns the same ip to the fileserver)
[01:24] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then you're going to have to jump through some hoops to get photoshop installed.
[01:24] <_imran_> does anybody know a good site to learn how to hack?
[01:24] <crypto> Kawika: no. if i don't use the fileserver for say 2-3 mins and then i try to connect then i see the lag
[01:25] <esteem> thanks man you saved me. thanks so much
[01:25] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i see.... may i go take a quike shower? its morning here....
[01:25] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: try installing and using gento :)

[01:26] <kahrytan> Kawika: can you use PM?
[01:26] <LuitvD> how do I tell usplash to use a different resolution?
[01:26] <VSpike> crypto: ok so the windows box cannot resolve the server name by dns, must use netbios
[01:26] <LuitvD> it does 1024x768 while it's a 1280x800 screen
[01:26] <Kawika> crypto: I've seen that a bit on Windows servers as well.  I'm wondering if the large number of shares makes a difference.
[01:26] <ubuntu1098765432> Question: >1024X768 resolution on 1.04 w/ radeon 9600? -No factoid
[01:26] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: once you've got that configured and running the way you want it, you'll know your way around a linux system :)
[01:26] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, ok
[01:26] <LuitvD> ubuntu1098765432: what? it is a Radeon, but not 9600
[01:26] <VSpike> crypto: you could try "netview \\<IP_ADDRESS>" or whatever your server IP is, although now it has resolved the name it should be in the netbios name cache
[01:27] <crypto> VSpike: u got it. i'm using wins (i read tutorial and follwed that). so yeah i'm using netbios over tcp/ip
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i hearby confer upon Quinton the right to partake in one (1) shower without let or hindrance :)
[01:27] <djkorn_> wuzup?
[01:27] <ubuntu1098765432> luitvD: It is a radeon 9600

[01:27] <Kawika> kahrytan: I replied on the PM, did you get it?
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: what do you want to hack? you mean do all sorts of malicious things with a computer?
[01:27] <VSpike> crypto: its not really necessary on a small network tbh

[01:28] <LuitvD> M200
[01:28] <VSpike> crytpo: you could try adding the server name and IP to your windows hosts file and lmhosts file
[01:28] <LuitvD> err, 200M
[01:28] <ubuntu1098765432> luitcD: mine is m10.....

[01:28] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, yes :)!
[01:28] <VSpike> crypto: ordinary netbios will do that
[01:28] <ubuntu1098765432> LuitvD: mine is a M10
[01:28] <crypto> VSpike: ok
[01:28] <ome> command so I can drag files to protected folders
[01:29] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: basically, crackers tend to specialise on one area or on one software. then they wait for security advisories about this software and try to pounce on the problem as quickly as possible
[01:29] <ubuntu1098765432> LuitvD: Mine is radeon 9600 rv350 m10...  How to get above 1024x768 screen resolution?

[01:30] <crypto> VSpike: ok thanks
[01:30] <VSpike> crypto: is your machine xp home or pro?
[01:30] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, so what are you saying?
[01:30] <ubuntu1098765432> luitvD: so I'll just live with the 1024x768 I guess... No one knows it seems no matter how many times I ask
[01:30] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, what's gdb?
[01:30] <crypto> VSpike: pro (x64) sp2
[01:30] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: being a good cracker is a lot of work. you can start by googling for a tutorial on gdb.
[01:31] <VSpike> crypto: hmm it should have no problem storing user name and password
[01:31] <ubuntu1098765432> any phone support for ubuntu?
[01:31] <VSpike> crypto: it may be that you are just seeing normal behaviour
[01:31] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, thanks...but what exactly is gdb?
[01:31] <ubuntu1098765432> any phone support directly for ubuntu 7.04?
[01:32] <hinogi> is there any chance to get DRI running in ubuntu with an ati x1950?
[01:32] <ome> whats the syntax to copy a file from desktop to usr/lib
[01:32] <crypto> VSpike: i think so aswell.. maybe i'm just being insane. ok one more question. how do u map windows password to samba. so that if i login then i can write to share folder a but if my mrs logs in then she cannot write to share folder A (but read) and write to her share folder B
[01:32] <esteem> DD is telling me " Is a directory" When I'm trying to backup my USB stick... I know it is a directory and I want to back it up to an ISO
[01:32] <ubuntu1098765432> ubu ntu support phone anyone?
[01:32] <JustAFreq> Is there anyone here that can give me a summary on configuring, calibrating, and using a joystick in ubuntu linux?
[01:32] <MajorPayne> ome: sudo ~/Desktop /usr/lib
[01:32] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: we're getting pretty off-topic here. gdb is the gnu debugger. you can use it to analyse executable files to see what they do. some exploits take for form of unchecked scanf and similar resulting in possible buffer overflows. an experienced gdb user can find these in binaries
[01:32] <MajorPayne> err

[01:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: http://lxer.com/module/db/viewby.php?uid=124&sort=120&option=1&value=on&offset=0&dbn=14
[01:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: >>; ohhh... yeah i knew that... do you think it will be hard to get photoshop on here?
[01:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: I've been using linux for about 3 years now. and i'm very interested in computers. there are however hundreds of thousands of people who know a lot more than i do
[01:47] <crypto> VSpike: thanks for u'r help
[01:48] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: it shouldn't be impossible. first install windows in a virtual machine (check out qemu and kvm). then install photoshop in windows
[01:48] <nothingssomethin> and i am getting to the point where i just can't use too many things with Linux. and i need to download pop songs, it's one thing i use my comp for, but i want to pay for them to make it legal
[01:49] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: mhm...
[01:49] <nothingssomethin> anyone have any ideas
[01:50] <feierfox> hello
[01:50] <feierfox> i need an GUI encryption-tool
[01:50] <feierfox> could someone help me?
[01:50] <Tomcat_> feierfox: seahorse
[01:50] <feierfox> is it easy to use?
[01:50] <howlingmadhowie> feierfox: you mean something like a graphical frontend for gpg ?
[01:50] <Tomcat_> feierfox: I think so.
[01:50] <ziroday> feierfox: do you need to encrypt files or store them in a encrypted area?
[01:50] <feierfox> i need it only to hide content from my girlfriend :D
[01:50] <ziroday> feierfox: than you want truecrypt
[01:51] <smoenux> kawika: yes, I cant get into the setup page in ubuntu. It works in windows, and on the live cd
[01:51] <Tomcat_> feierfox: How about just renaming the <dir> to .<dir>? It's hidden then. ;)
[01:51] <ziroday> !truecrypt | feierfox
[01:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:51] <howlingmadhowie> feierfox: then best to put them somewhere she won't look (like in a folder whose name starts with a '.')
[01:51] <Quinton_> feierfox: thats very unhonest
[01:51] <feierfox> ok, i will see...
[01:51] <Quinton_> feierfox: Just remember god is watching you...
[01:51] <Kawika> smoenux: so if you open a browser and put in the address for the router, you get nothing ?
[01:51] <feierfox> hmm or just rar the stuff with password protection!
[01:51] <VSpike> crypto: no problem - is the usermap what you need?
[01:52] <howlingmadhowie> (was sie nicht wei,...)
[01:52] <smoenux> Kawika: thing is, it's funny, cause it starts loading, I can see some of the menu Items, and then it just stops
[01:52] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: Do you have a gf?
[01:52] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: or bf...
[01:52] <Tomcat_> Encrypting stuff is a bad way to hide... it's still visible, and people get suspicious if they need to enter a password.
[01:52] <Kawika> smoenux: what router do you have ?
[01:52] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: off-topic: i sort of have a bf
[01:53] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: sooo, so we wont be off topic have an aim?
[01:53] <smoenux> Kawika: ADSL Router Broadband, from Telkom .... It's got the Marconi Interface
[01:53] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: yes, but i'm busy.
[01:54] <mozartina> ciao
[01:54] <Kawika> smoenux: hmm, I'm not familiar with that.  Do you think that it needs java or something like that?
[01:54] <Kawika> smoenux: I've not come across a router in my experience that I couldn't get into with firefox.
[01:54] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: No offence ( I dont know your gender ) just saying that because almost all of my friends are bi-sexual... but so im not offencive. your a female or male?, also sorry for being off topic
[01:55] <Tomcat_> #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[01:55] <smoenux> I believe it might... I'm running Java apps... and have sun java 6 installed... so I'm not sure
[01:55] <smoenux> Kawika, I've tried other browsers also....
[01:55] <smoenux> also
[01:55] <smoenux> Last week it was still working, I could get in normally without any hassles
[01:55] <smoenux> it happens on-and-off
[01:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: way too off-topic.
[01:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =p
[01:56] <Kawika> smoenux: so last week you could get in no problem, and this week it's been more difficult?
[01:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: my appolagies, btw that update is almost done... I had mistaken the time.
[01:57] <smoenux> Kawika, yes - it's been doing that for the last year... I really dont know what I'm doing, to have it behave in such a way :(
[01:58] <ge2x> how to stop compizfusion and return back to the default window manager?
[01:58] <smoenux> ge2x: metacity --replace
[01:59] <ge2x> smoenux: thanx
[02:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: don't worry about it. just bear in mind, that #ubuntu is an international chat channel and that there are some cultures which find the word 'bisexual' offensive and some cultures which find the idea that 'god is watching you' offensive. let's just stay on-topic
[02:00] <wers> how do I set PCManFM or Dolphin as the default file browser in GNOME?
[02:01] <Kawika> smoenux: I'm looking at what that interface is exactly.  I've not had to deal with it.
[02:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =]  okey
[02:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i removed the obsolete packages during the upgrade is that ok?
[02:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: apt-get (the program which controls upgrades and manages the install packages) is pretty mature software, so i imagine it's fine
[02:02] <hinogi> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13125/
[02:03] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: unless you are installing one of those rare packages that conflicts with, say, xorg :-P
[02:03] <hinogi> can someone tell me how to fix the DRI for my card?
[02:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: alright, it still boots good! a little slower though
[02:03] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: not exactly apt's fault, but not fun to clean up after if you're a new user
[02:04] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =[ it says desktop effects cannot be enabled =[
[02:04] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: fortunately that's never happened to me. but i can imagine swearing in all sorts of languages if it did
[02:05] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: it's happened to me before - a typo in someone's package meant X was in the conflicts section rather than the depends section
[02:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds like the right nvidia driver hasn't been installed. go to 'System->Administration->Manage Restricted Drivers' (or whatever it's called in english)
[02:05] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: luckily I know enough to be able to fix it
[02:05] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: that was quite a typo. i'm surprised they didn't catch that one before releasing it
[02:06] <juana3> ola
[02:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: gotta install the package?
[02:06] <juana3> k tal?
[02:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good
[02:06] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: it was in the debian experimental repos, so wasn't quite up to release status yet - it hadn't even made it to the unstable repo ;-)
[02:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no i mean to get into it
[02:06] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: (Debian has experimental, unstable, testing, stable)
[02:06] <chrisellis> which is the best agp or pci ?
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: due to licensing restrictions, some drivers can not be installed automatically
[02:07] <Eagleray> chrisellis: for graphics?
[02:07] <chrisellis> yup
[02:07] <Eagleray> chrisellis: PCIe > AGP > PCI
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: i used to have debian installed on my ultrasparc 10, so i'm familiar with it :)
[02:07] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i see
[02:07] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: /me loves Debian, I usually run testing with a few bits of unstable
[02:07] <chrisellis> oh i see
[02:08] <chrisellis> and does PCIe work on all new motherboards
[02:08] <vlt> Hello. My server just stopped to respond. "[23449694.136000]  APIC error on CPU1: 00(40)". This was the last message in syslog before I only could do a warm keyboard reset. What does this mean?
[02:08] <Eagleray> chrisellis: all modern new ones, yes
[02:08] <Eagleray> chrisellis: the graphics slot should be a PCIe x16
[02:08] <chrisellis> k
[02:09] <abhibera_> hi i'm facing a strange problem with bind9. the linux users on my lan have no trouble accessing it but the windows users have to disable and enable their ethernet to be able to work with my dns.
[02:09] <abhibera_>  any clues?
[02:09] <abhibera_>  the dns is working flawlessly otherwise
[02:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: wireless doesnt work
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> vlt: that sounds like a new start is necessary. possibly a bug in the microcode on the chip itself...
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: how about the nvidia driver? did that install okay?
[02:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says my hardware doesnt need any restricted drivers
[02:10] <chrisellis> and they dont look any different than regular PCI
[02:10] <wers> how do I change gnome's default file manager?
[02:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: strange. the nvidia 8400 most definitely needs restricted drivers
[02:10] <Eagleray> chrisellis: yes, they look different
[02:10] <chrisellis> alright
[02:11] <agenippe>
[02:11] <Eagleray> chrisellis: modern mobos will usually supply PCIe x16 slots (1 or 2), PCIe x1 (several) and PCI (1 or more)
[02:11] <agenippe> what's that
[02:11] <ziroday> agenippe: dui
[02:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no clue here...
[02:11] <ziroday> agenippe: thats big family good
[02:12] <chrisellis> oh k so if i find out what motherboard i have i can probly figure out how many PCIe slots i have
[02:12] <agenippe> my god...
[02:12] <user1_>
[02:12] <ziroday> !zh | user1_
[02:12] <ubotu> user1_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[02:12] <agenippe>
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: just look at the mobo, you will be able to see them
[02:12] <agenippe>
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: the PCIe slots look different, and the x1 slots are very short
[02:12] <ziroday> user1_: ke yi ni qu #ubuntu-cn
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: PCIe slots will usually be close to the CPU than the PCI ones
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: *closer
[02:13] <chrisellis> k i think that my motherboard only has pci and agp
[02:13] <Eagleray> chrisellis: can you also direct your messages please?
[02:13] <wers> what application can I use to make survey forms?
[02:13] <agenippe>
[02:13] <Eagleray> chrisellis: then it's not a new mobo

[02:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html the 8400M GT is supported in the current nvidia driver. it may well be in 'System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager'
[02:14] <ziroday> hey Eagleray
[02:14] <freq1420> nimenhao
[02:14] <newbeginner> anyone here that is familiar with the error 21 on bootup

[02:14] <Eagleray> chrisellis: yes

[02:25] <michaelpo> ah... i found out i need to install a locale package....
[02:25] <antonsmari> thanks ubotu but I have searched google to death and havent solved it yet
[02:25] <ari_stress> ziroday: i'm writing an article about ubuntu
[02:25] <ari_stress> :D
[02:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: thats so fast....
[02:26] <IdleOne> antonsmari, check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:26] <tck> where is modules.conf in feisty?
[02:26] <magnetron> !modules | tck
[02:26] <ubotu> tck: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u
[02:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. that's probably a good sign. just to make sure, can you do the following: Alt+F2, 'glxgears' <enter>
[02:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: are compiz and beryl ubuntu screen effects?
[02:26] <tck> magnetron, nice but doesn't answer the question
[02:26] <magnetron> Quinton_: yes
[02:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it did not do anything
[02:27] <antonsmari> I installed windows first, THEN linux it worked fine unless some freezes so I decidet to run memory check... the memory check ran for few hours and then I manually stopped it and now the machine cant seem to boot linux properly :( il check the link anyways, thanks :)
[02:27] <michaelpo> localechoosedate
[02:27] <michaelpo> localechoosedata
[02:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: yeah. the situation with beryl and compiz is quite complicated at the moment. beryl was a fork of the compiz project, now they're getting back together again in something called 'compizfusion' if i recall correctly
[02:27] <AndrewHawk> shatafucka
[02:27] <magnetron> tck: to locate a file in GNU/Linux, type "locate filename"
[02:28] <SirBob1701> is there a way to view processes that execute at login.  my login to gnome is painfully slow
[02:28] <agenippe> How can I access the root administrator
[02:28] <magnetron> !root | agenippe
[02:28] <ubotu> agenippe: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then maybe you don't have the test program installed. try searching for glxgears in the Synaptic Package Manager and installing it. then repeat Alt+F2 'glxgears' <enter>
[02:28] <SirBob1701> agenippe: sudo su
[02:29] <ari_stress> agenippe: sudo -i
[02:29] <hivez[afk] > gay
[02:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: mesa-utils ?
[02:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good
[02:29] <hivez[afk] > stfu
[02:29] <magnetron> SirBob1701, agenippe: don't recommend sudo su in this channel, sudo -i is the secure alternative
[02:29] <Andy80> hi

[02:29] <agenippe> but when i use root administrator to the system ,i can't login to the desktop
[02:29] <magnetron> !rootsudo > agenippe
[02:30] <michaelpo> i've installed localechooserdata... where is the icon to launch?
[02:30] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope still doesnt do anything
[02:30] <alesan> agenippe, are you using gnome or kde?
[02:30] <howlingmadhowie> (now what does jfgi mean? let's google it...)
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > wtf is this place
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > is it l337?
[02:30] <agenippe> yes, i use gonme
[02:30] <SirBob1701> magnetron: hmm never heard that one before :S
[02:30] <Pici> !offtopic | hivez[afk]
[02:30] <ubotu> hivez[afk] : #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:30] <Andy80> I've just reinstalled ubuntu on my notebook. I've installed most of the development packages but maybe I'm missing something, because when I try to execute "make" from a source directory I get these errors: http://pastebin.ca/634467 what libraries I'm missing?
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > whats Ubuntu ive never heard ofit
[02:30] <alesan> agenippe, and have you set a password for root?
[02:30] <howlingmadhowie> please ask your question or leave, hivez[afk]
[02:31] <hivez[afk] > ok
[02:31] <Pici> Andy80: Do you have build-essential installed?
[02:31] <hivez[afk] > my question is, why are you such a fat ugly bastard?

[02:31] <rob> Pici, ?
[02:31] <howlingmadhowie> can a mod boot hivez please? (s)he's being offensive
[02:31] <rob> oh
[02:31] <Pici> rob: see above
[02:31] <Andy80> Pici: I check again, but I think yes... wait...
[02:31] <ari_stress> Pici: that's a cool command :D
[02:32] <agenippe> thank you ,though i can understand you ,but thank you all the same
[02:32] <Andy80> Pici: yes, it's installed
[02:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: as shown from videos on youtube compiz fusion work nice...
[02:33] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then let's get more information. go to 'Applications->Accessories->Terminal'. wait till a terminal appears then enter 'glxgears'.
[02:33] <Pici> Andy80: It looks like on line 11 of that paste its missing a command.
[02:33] <tck> magnetron, yes tried that, i think its been replace by /etc/modprobe.d
[02:34] <Pici> Andy80: && rm -f $file && <some command should be here>  -o $file af.po
[02:34] <St3a1tH> hi guys , anyone using networkmanager-pptp ?
[02:34] <Andy80> Pici: do you think that the Makefile is wrong?
[02:34] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error couldnt get an RGB, double-buffered visual
[02:34] <St3a1tH> i am trying to establish a vpn connection , but network manager never call pptp binaty
[02:34] <St3a1tH> so nothing happens
[02:34] <Pici> Andy80: Thats what it looks like
[02:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i have the feeling this could all go very wrong. one of your main motivations for using ubuntu seems to be the eye candy. i can understand that, but if we can't get photophop and dreamweaver installed in a windows virtual machine, then it doesn't matter how good the eye-candy is
[02:35] <abhibera_> hi i'm facing a strange problem with my bind9 on ubuntu. my windows machines are unable to locate without disabling and re-enabling the LAN but my ubuntu desktop boxes have no problem in finding it.
[02:35] <abhibera_> why?
[02:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's not a good sign. can you try rebooting the computer?
[02:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: of course
[02:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works very quikly... and is now booting back up...
[02:36] <howlingmadhowie> do you see a big nvidia splash screen before you log in?
[02:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no.. I never have... even on the preinstalled vista
[02:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: as far as i know, before the windowing sysem starts, a big nvidia splash screen appears if you're using the nvida driver
[02:38] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: as far as i can tell, this means that the nvidia driver still isn't being used. try running 'nvidia-settings'
[02:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: never has...
[02:38] <michaelpo> why is linux like this? i install one package... but can't find where it is installed to... what is the package name to launch it....
[02:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works... now what ?
[02:39] <genii> michaelpo: What package did you install?
[02:39] <superjedi> michaelpo: I go into terminal and type the name
[02:39] <michaelpo> i installed localechooser-date...
[02:39] <michaelpo> tried it in terminal... nothing
[02:39] <vitou> michaelpo: you only have to open a terminal, remember the name of the package and try to auto-complete it with the tab key
[02:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: set the screen resolution you want (in X server display configuration) and then  'Save to X Configuation File'
[02:39] <michaelpo> then i install localeconf.... also tried that in terminal
[02:40] <michaelpo> nothing too
[02:40] <sinizzl> hi there
[02:40] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: thats not there...
[02:41] <wesolek> hello, does anybody know whether ubuntu supports the WAP protocol for wireless security?
[02:41] <antonsmari> cant seem to fix that error 21
[02:41] <howlingmadhowie> michaelpo: try 'debconf'
[02:41] <rausb0> wesolek: you mean WPA
[02:41] <michaelpo> debconf?
[02:41] <sinizzl> i am desperately trying to get name resolving working... /etc/resolv.conf is configured correctly. itried ifup eth / ifdown eth0 and ifconfig eth0 up/down about 10 times but it just doesnt do that resolvvvv
[02:41] <ari_stress> guys, what do you think of my opinion: one of the reason why ubuntu is so great is that it is derived from debian, who is well know for it's high quality packages?
[02:41] <sinizzl> wtf am i doing wrong_
[02:41] <wesolek> yeah rausb0
[02:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: did you manage to start the nvidia-settings program?
[02:42] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it did
[02:42] <antonsmari> anyone can help me with error 21 in grub on first boot after a clean install
[02:42] <sipior> ari_stress: why does this matter?
[02:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and you can see a nice grafical software where you can configure your graphics card?
[02:42] <sinizzl> i like ubuntu becoy it's one of teh few distros that comes with macbook specific configurations out of teh box
[02:42] <genii> I'm pretty sure localechooser-data isn't a program as such, just a list of languages the installer could use
[02:42] <kenny92> (join #ubuntu.de
[02:42] <george> george -ngum @ yahoo.co.uk
[02:42] <ari_stress> sipior: i just want to know :)
[02:43] <wesolek> rausb0 I've got other problem with it as well... it also won't work with a static IP (only on DHCP)
[02:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it just says... enable tooltips.... display status bar. slider text entires. show "really quit" dialog and unchecked is include c display names in config file
[02:43] <rausb0> wesolek: is has support for WPA (using wpa_supplicant), but only for those wlan drivers which are usable by wpa_supplicant
[02:43] <esteem_> How do I CHMOD a file so that anyone can edit it?
[02:43] <wesolek> how can I check it, rausb0?
[02:43] <Terrasque> esteem_: a+w
[02:43] <michaelpo> howlingmadhowie: Usage: debconf [options]  command [args]
[02:43] <michaelpo> ????
[02:43] <ari_stress> what is the package manager in ubuntu? aptitude or synaptic?
[02:44] <rausb0> wesolek: which wlan driver do you use?
[02:44] <michaelpo> synaptic
[02:44] <ari_stress> michaelpo: thanks
[02:44] <wesolek> I have no idea, to be honest, rausb0
[02:44] <rausb0> wesolek: then i cannot tell you
[02:44] <michaelpo> does anybody ever tried changing your locale? how?
[02:44] <wesolek> can I check it somehow? rausb0?
[02:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that sounds like the last page in the software. is there a menu on the left in the window? (X server information... x server display configuration...)
[02:44] <sipior> ari_stress: well, apt, with a number of front-ends, of which aptitude and synaptic are two
[02:45] <rausb0> wesolek: the output of lsmod would be helpful. but not here, use pastebin for that.
[02:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nvidia-settings configuration: and thats all it says
[02:45] <antonsmari> by the way, how do I install ubuntu on other than 2 partitions?  is it better to have a boot partition and such?
[02:45] <wesolek> ok hold on, rausb0
[02:45] <ari_stress> sipior: ok, so, it's apt
[02:45] <ari_stress> !apt
[02:45] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[02:45] <ari_stress> wow cool
[02:46] <michaelpo> !locale
[02:46] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[02:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and nvidia-settings is installed?
[02:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah and when i type a little box pops up
[02:46] <genii> michaelpo:  For setting your locale maybe look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234927
[02:46] <sipior> antonsmari: i find it useful to have a separate home partition at the very least, so that future installs run more smoothly...
[02:46] <genii> And the ubotu link of course :)
[02:48] <sinizzl> my network setup: laptop uses computer b as a gateway. laptop has ip adress <IP_ADDRESS>, computer b, which is the gateway (and where im chatting currently from( does do nameresolving. i can reach any host from my laptop but it doesnt resolv any names, despite /etc/resolv.conf being edited correctly.... any ideas ??
[02:48] <ari_stress> sinizzl: maybe you are using bind's new feature: viewing
[02:48] <stefg> !ipv6 | ari_stress
[02:48] <sinizzl> ??
[02:48] <ubotu> ari_stress: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[02:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: one second
[02:49] <stefg> opps, that was for sinizzl
[02:49] <ari_stress> stefg: :D
[02:49] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok
[02:49] <sipior> sinizzl: do you have inbound 53 blocked by a firewall?
[02:49] <michaelpo> i've change system/admin/language support to english uk... but when i type locale in terminal... it still show locale is LANG=en_US.UTF-8   ... why?
[02:50] <stefg> sinizzl: try disabling ipv6 fist. some routers simply don't like it
[02:50] <wesolek> http://pastebin.com/d24a3ce54
[02:50] <wesolek> rausb0
[02:50] <sinizzl> stefg: routing works
[02:50] <sinizzl> only nameresolving does not
[02:51] <antonsmari> is it preferred to have a specific boot partition}
[02:51] <sinizzl> the other two hosts that use this gateway do nameresolving.. they-re both windows machines though
[02:51] <IanTheMoxious> whoo hoo! on Ubuntu now.  Just wanted to say thanks to the guys who helped me with my partitioning problem earlier
[02:51] <stefg> sinizzl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/92761
[02:51] <sipior> sinizzl: are you using an external name server, or your own caching nameserver on the gateway?
[02:51] <antonsmari> a) Preferred is to have a separate /boot partition.....so the menu may look like this and notice no mention of /boot in the stanzas
[02:51] <sinizzl> sipior: an external
[02:51] <antonsmari> is that true}
[02:52] <sipior> sinizzl: what does "dig" report about the name server it is trying to reach?
[02:52] <rausb0> wesolek: okay, you have two concurrent drivers loaded for your card: orinoco_cs and hostap_cs. it should be only hostap_cs. and for using wpa with those old cards, the card firmware must be update. not an easy task.
[02:53] <superjedi> is there anyway my linux computer could access my internaal cam in my imac
[02:53] <sinizzl> sipior: http://rafb.net/p/NW54KS28.html
[02:53] <wesolek> can I just unload that other driver first? that may solve some problems :), rausb0
[02:53] <gour> hi
[02:53] <DjViper> superjedi: maybe you could rig something up with vlc
[02:54] <gour> i'm migrating from gentoo to (x)ubuntu, but it looks like gparted does not recognize my evms volumes
[02:54] <rausb0> wesolek: it would be better to blacklist the orinoco_cs driver, so it doesn't get loaded in the first place
[02:54] <sinizzl> superjedi: afaik there is
[02:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: when i enter nvidia-settings, this program is started: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2949/bildschirmfotoij2.png
[02:54] <sipior> sinizzl: that's from the laptop?
[02:54] <sinizzl> sipior: yes
[02:54] <gour> do you recommend using evms/lvm or just plain partitions?
[02:55] <Bluedog> odd
[02:55] <Bluedog> xchat uninstalled itself after the last update
[02:55] <wesolek> that is fine with me, but I am not sure where to find that blacklist file
[02:55] <sipior> sinizzl: try "dig -x <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:55] <zeroflag> Timing buffered disk reads: 20 MB in 3.06 seconds = 6.53 MB/sec
[02:55] <zeroflag> (I hope I don't have to say anything else)
[02:55] <rausb0> wesolek: i think it is /etc/modprobe.conf  (not sure though)
[02:55] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: not me
[02:56] <sinizzl> sipior: cool it works now!!!1!
[02:56] <wesolek> what about just orinoco? should this one stay untouched? rausb0
[02:56] <sipior> sinizzl: it was always working; i think you were trying to do a forward lookup on an ip address
[02:57] <sipior> sinizzl: try resolving google.com or something
[02:57] <rausb0> orinoco is just a support module for orinoco_cs. you don't need to blacklist that one.
[02:57] <sinizzl> sipior: works now
[02:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: strange. okay. let's do this the direct way. open a terminal, 'sudo -i' 'cd /etc/X11' 'nano -w xorg.conf'
[02:57] <sipior> sinizzl: good, glad it's running
[02:57] <sinizzl> yeh, thenks a lot dude
[02:57] <rausb0> wesolek: sorry, gotta go
[02:57] <stefg> gour: KISS.... if you don't plan on raid or spanned partitions just use plain partitions
[02:57] <ledemente> Hey all. : )
[02:58] <ro1> I am having trouble installing ttf-opensymbol on ubuntu-studio: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31390/
[02:58] <ro1> /usr/share/fonts/X11: failed to write cache
[02:58] <ro1> I guess some font config app is missing
[02:58] <ro1> and the dirs were not created
[02:58] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: got it
[02:58] <ro1> no, the dirs are there
[02:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, hang on. i've found something interesting. just try in a terminal: 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[02:59] <antonsmari> hey all, anyone familiar with error 21 in grub can help me with unreinstallable error...
[03:00] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: doesnt give any options just says 3 lines about using x configuration
[03:00] <wesolek> ok, thanks rausb0
[03:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: perfect. now restart the windowing system ('Ctrl+Alt+Backspace')
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: its just.... black
[03:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: nothing?
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope
[03:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'm starting to get annoyed with this nvidia driver
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: sorry
[03:02] <howlingmadhowie> okay, 'Ctrl+Alt+F2' log yourself in
[03:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ctrl+alt+f2 didnt do anything
[03:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh
[03:03] <genii> Use the left ALT key
[03:03] <DjViper> my wifi has been slow since I set it to 54M rate, what could be wrong?
[03:03] <howlingmadhowie> genii: :) thanks
[03:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: left alt doesnt work
[03:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, restart the computer :(
[03:04] <ari_stress> Guys, is it true that there's Ubuntu's team in this channel?
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it will work .... i think....
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope... now were back where we began...
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: blackscreen after it boots
[03:06] <genii> Quinton_: If you have a second place to plug the monitor in maybe check to see if the video is going to the wrong plug
[03:06] <stonekeeper> hi all . I'm getting dog-slow connections to cups. Anyone have any ideas on it? Googling made me find something related to access to /dev/random being slow. Anyone setup CUPS on FEISTY and got it working at an acceptable speed? Thanks...
[03:06] <nephish> morning all
[03:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and does Ctrl+Alt+F2 do anything?
[03:06] <genii> (by plugging the screen into it)
[03:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no... and this is a laptop
[03:07] <genii> hmm laptop
[03:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. things have gone pear-shaped. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't do anything either?
[03:07] <nkbreau_> I dont suppose there is an easy way to get something installed in ubuntu that will let me play a activex plugin in firefox ? just a shot in the dark...
[03:07] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:08] <genii> nkbreau there was some FF extension/addon I think. But in windoze FF, I don't know if there is a linux FF addon like that. Also I'm not sure it could be trusted to work properly if there was
[03:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: what to do?
[03:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh boy. i think the easy way out is to install ubuntu again. looks like the nvidia driver has claimed another victim. if you still think my advice is any good, download the new version (7.04) and install from that disk
[03:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i cant
[03:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i HAVE to text base install or tty cannot be accesed and job control is turned off...
[03:10] <genii> nkbreau_: Perhaps MediaWrap extension
[03:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: plus it wont recognize nvidia just like this time... besides that im already on ver 7.04
[03:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then the alternative install cd for 7.04?
[03:11] <pawan> hi
[03:11] <genii> howlingmadhowie: I'm suspecting some kernel option needed there
[03:12] <howlingmadhowie> genii: how do you tell the kernel to boot to a particular runlevel? do you know that off the top of your head?
[03:13] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: what do I do?
[03:13] <snow_blind> Quinton_: Out of interest what kernel are you using? e.g uname -r
[03:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on, i think we can rescue it.
[03:13] <Quinton_> snow-blind: no clue
[03:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: restart, and press escape when it tells you to
[03:14] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:14] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: recoverymode?
[03:15] <esteem> How do I edit a files' permissions so that anyone is able to access/write over it?
[03:15] <snow_blind> Quinton_: I had a problem with my driver, it wouldn't work until i updated my kernel. I'll let you finish with howlingmadhowie though
[03:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: nope. change the options for standard boot mode by deleting "splash" and "quiet" and adding "runlevel=3"
[03:15] <neztiti> guys i have  green screen with dxr3 with xine any help????
[03:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i hit esc... so now what?

[03:17] <genii> howlingmadhowie: As far as runlevel boot options i mostly remember -s for single user mode
[03:17] <n2diy> ! LSB
[03:17] <ubotu> The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas.
[03:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: deleted 'quiet' and 'splash' and add 'runlevel=3'
[03:18] <howlingmadhowie> genii: good idea :)
[03:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i got grub edit> root (hd0,0)
[03:19] <genii> bah, work calls again. AFK
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, sorry. press escape
[03:19] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok now?
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and press escape again until you get up to the top menu
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: let's try recovery mode :)
[03:20] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: loading it...
[03:20] <neztiti> where is the mount list in ubuntu feisty
[03:20] <howlingmadhowie> (you should see something like: Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (recovery mode) )
[03:20] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: lots of text should go flying by
[03:20] <swmiller6> _imran_: Check your start up session
[03:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it stoppped and sayysss root@ubuntu:~# select () to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
[03:21] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. enter 'cd /etc/X11'
[03:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: does it complain at all?
[03:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. let's check to see it did that. enter 'pwd'. do you see /etc/X11 ?
[03:22] <pawan> tab names no displayed properly in xmms player
[03:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[03:23] <adub> has anyone gotten monitor mode to work in feisty with atheros chipset cards
[03:23] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good :) now enter the following 'mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf'
[03:23] <genii> _imran_: Examine the file found at ~/.config/autostart   and if the name of the player is there, remove it
[03:23] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:23] <swmiller6> _imran_: Main Menu>System>Preferences>Sessions
[03:23] <bobbob1016> when I boot I'm getting an error "ata2.00:  exception Emask 0x0..." same as this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=505992 does anyone know what would cause this all of the sudden?  I didn't change any hardware or anything
[03:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: didnt do anything
[03:24] <jatt> how do I list the printing queue using the lpstat command for a network windows printer (smb)?
[03:24] <dyrne> adub: yeah but havent tried in feisty. no probs previously though
[03:24] <_imran_> swmiller6, it isnt set to launch automaticall, it just does
[03:24] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: maybe it did :) 'ls -lh' what's the date of xorg.conf?
[03:24] <bobbob1016> only when I boot in recovery mode, normal booting, it just hangs for a few minutes, I get "ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80)" as well
[03:24] <rambo3> bobbob1016, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=265646
[03:25] <kercyr> Apparently, there was a recent problem with Adobe changing something and the installation of flash on feisty (and other releases) are broken.  Does anyone know how to circumvent the problem?
[03:25] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: 08:59
[03:25] <adub> dyrne same here no problems previously except wadda go in ubuntu 6.10 my entire card crapped out badly i use the same card on my laptop no problems at all i found a howto on the forums for feisty but good luck getting that horrible howto to work
[03:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: mm, hang on. when you enter "ls" what files to you see which start with "xorg.conf"?
[03:26] <esteem> A file on my desktop is protected (permissions) as root because I made the file using sudo. How can I get the file to be writeable by all users?
[03:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: conf and conf old
[03:26] <vnese> hi, i have burned 7.04 and run it on my PC as a live cd, then I face the error : Your session lasted less than 10s, I m sure i have plenty of disk space because this is a brand new hdd, then I checked the error message, it said a ssh .so file can not load
[03:26] <kercyr> esteem, I'm not sure if you actually want to do this, but: chmod 777 filename
[03:26] <dyrne> adub: the driver seems a little odd as it added a wlan0 or something device that needs to be up in addition to ath0 for ath0 to work.. sorry i dont have much exp other than firing up kismet and such
[03:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good. 'reboot'
[03:27] <kercyr> esteem, sudo chmod 777 filename
[03:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how?
[03:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter the word 'reboot'
[03:27] <esteem> kercyr:  see thing is, that doesn't work for some reason. there's still a large lock on the icon and when I go into permissions it just says root
[03:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if the computer doesn't boot again to where we were before we started playing around with the nvidia driver, we'll have to boot again in recovery mode and edit xorg.conf by hand using a text editor (nano)
[03:28] <visik7> is there an application that change the mouse behaviour depending on which application window has the focus ?
[03:28] <adub> ya i can get it working all day on earlier ubuntu i would uninstall feisty but im afraid ill configure everything in 6.10 and my card will just quit working i really do not need monitor mode working but it would be nice right now i have the default madwifi drivers from a fresh feisty install works out of box but monitor mode wont work right
[03:28] <genii> esteem As kercyr warns, not a good idea. If you use the chmod command given you will need to use sudo with it. another way is to just make it owned by the user where it is located. Default user is given user id 1000 and group id 1000 so you could also do:   sudo chown 1000:1000 <path to file and name>
[03:28] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: booted
[03:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: have you got the windowing environment running? (X server)
[03:28] <neztiti> imran: hi
[03:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i guess.... ?
[03:29] <esteem> genii:  why is it not recommended??
[03:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: so you can log in normally ?
[03:29] <esteem> I want to be able to cut and move the file. i cannot right now ebcuase it's on stupid permissions
[03:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[03:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cool :)
[03:30] <genii> esteem Because then that file is world-readable/world-writeable which means anyone, not just who owns the directory it is in etc, can change or delete it
[03:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: now then. what do you see under "System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager"?
[03:30] <jussi_> where can i get the gdmsetup tool so that i can install login screens ?
[03:31] <superjedi> I downloaded a program with firefox now how do I install it do I install it so its in the accessories menu
[03:31] <steve__> steveb
[03:31] <esteem> genii:  I only want for me to be able to change it (my username is owner)
[03:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: the modem thing still
[03:31] <swmiller6> esteem:Change the owner of the file to you chown esteem:esteem file
[03:31] <esteem> genii:  I also take back not being able to delete it or move it.. i am able to
[03:31] <howlingmadhowie> jussi_: i think there's something called an Art Manager in Synaptic (it always used to be a horrendously buggy piece of python software, but maybe it's got better)
[03:31] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and still no reference to a graphics card?
[03:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:32] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: can you open a terminal and type the following: 'lspci | grep VGA'
[03:32] <genii> esteem: so as swmiller6 says use then:   sudo chown owner:owner <filename here>
[03:32] <esteem> swmiller6: owner@ubuntu:~/Desktop/untitled folder$  chown owner:owner xn902.img.gz  chown: changing ownership of `xn902.img.gz': Operation not permitted
[03:32] <vnese> Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem" in the error report appears that it wasn't possible to load the shared library /usr/lib/libgnome-2.so.0 because of a ELF header problem.
[03:32] <vnese> i have this error even in my live CD
[03:33] <genii> esteem Remember, put sudo before the command
[03:33] <bobbob1016> rambo3, thanks, that works, do you know what happened?  would my computer be slower because of this?
[03:33] <n2diy> superjedi: Sorry to answer your question, with a question, but why did you down load a program, you don't know how to install, with Fire Fox?
[03:33] <swmiller6> esteem: put a sudo in front of that
[03:33] <esteem> ok thanks thats worked
[03:33] <zaggynl> hdc : drive not ready
[03:33] <rambo3> bobbob1016, i have no idea. you should ask people in #ubuntu-kernel
[03:33] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: says VGA compatible controle nvidia coorp unkown device 0426 (rev a 1)
[03:34] <bobbob1016> rambo3, ok
[03:34] <bobbob1016> rambo3, thanks
[03:34] <rambo3> np
[03:34] <system79> Can someone help me?: My video card is not recognized =.=
[03:34] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: it really shouldn't be an unknown device by now. i wonder what's up with the driver. did you get the driver from the cd or from the internet?
[03:34] <swmiller6> system79: What kind of video card do you have
[03:34] <taime1> is there a way to record streams?
[03:35] <tom_> hey guys a i d/l'd a vid that is a bunch of rar files, how to i unrar them?
[03:35] <system79> Nvidia GeForce 7 series
[03:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: cd...
[03:35] <system79> >.>
[03:35] <swmiller6>  taime1: Streamripper
[03:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: a-ha! that could be what's going wrong. the version on the cd is really old.
[03:35] <Pici> !unrar | tom_
[03:35] <ubotu> tom_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:35] <superjedi> n2diy: No Do I just run it
[03:35] <tom_> Pici: cheers man
[03:36] <zaggynl> hdc :  drive not ready for command
[03:36] <zaggynl> does anyone know what that crap is?
[03:36] <zaggynl> hang the entire pc
[03:36] <n2diy> superjedi: you didn't answer my question?
[03:36] <system79> zaggynl: yes, your drive is in use or not mounted properly
[03:36] <jussi_> howlingmadhowie: i got the login screen already. thanks though :)
[03:36] <slabby> Anyone got a guide for setting up wine with Feisty?
[03:36] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: start the Synaptic Package Manager and go to Settings->sources
[03:36] <slabby> !wine
[03:36] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:36] <superjedi> Im new at this.  I didn't install anything I just got a fle on my desktop
[03:37] <zaggynl> system79, I was burning a dvd, then went afk, when I came back, pc hardly responded (intervals) and when I opened the logs, it just spammed that all over the screen
[03:37] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: there is no sources?
[03:37] <genii> superjedi: First thing, is you would want to look and see if the program you are trying to install this way maybe already exists to install with the package manager.
[03:37] <system79> zaggynl: Well iunno :O im just telling you what causes it xD
[03:37] <superjedi> I did not there
[03:37] <zaggynl> okay
[03:38] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: whatever it's called in the language you're using. maybe it's "package sources" or something similar (under Settings in the navigation for the Synaptic Package Management window)
[03:38] <superjedi> genii: I did not there
[03:38] <system79> Can someone help me?: My video card is not recognized =.=
[03:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: preferences, respriotires, filters, set internal option, toolbar
[03:38] <akos> hello! does anyone know a good program for viewing pictures in a slideshow, with some funky effects?
[03:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: repositories :)
[03:39] <genii> superjedi: OK, assuming this is some non-destructive program and you downloaded the installer for it, you need to make the file executable then run it. From console this is done like:   chmod +x <filename>    then to run it:    ./<filename>    this when are typing in the commands into the same directory where the file is
[03:39] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[03:39] <taime1> is there a way to record streams?
[03:40] <genii> superjedi: Before those 2 commands you might want to put sudo
[03:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: activate 'main', 'universe', 'restricted' and 'multiverse'. on one of the tabs of that window there could be a way to switch off the cd as a software source. if you can, do this.
[03:40] <dzb_> After several days of reading howtos, docs and through forums I still cant seem to get eggy running. I now pasted the entire install output on http://djdz.de/paste.txt and hope that somebuddy can give me a little push into the right direction...
[03:40] <genii> superjedi: eg: sudo chmod +x <filename>          sudo ./<filename>
[03:40] <superjedi> ok.  It came with a make file but it doesn't seem to work
[03:40] <porszi> walaki beszel itt magyarul?
[03:40] <porszi> :)
[03:41] <genii> superjedi: So it was some source code then?
[03:41] <stefg> !hr
[03:41] <ubotu> za hrvatski dodjite na #ubuntu-hr, da ne zbunjujete engleze.
[03:41] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how do i turn off the cd?
[03:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on. my laptop is in english. i'll just boot it and see how to do that
[03:42] <genii> superjedi: If you are making the program from source code, first you need the package build-essential  installed from the package manager.
[03:42] <superjedi> genii: Give me a minute to try this with terminal
[03:42] <kercyr> So, anyone know what's how to install flashplugin these days?
[03:42] <bulmer> Quinton_: you # comment out the entry for the cd's
[03:42] <stefg> !flash
[03:42] <bulmer> in the source.lst files i assume
[03:42] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok i removed cd option and turned o nwhat you said now what?
[03:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: shut the repositories dialog screen and click 'Reload' on the main Synaptic Package Management screen
[03:44] <genii> superjedi: Then, normally, the source code needs to be uncompressed from the zip or tar file it came in. Then you go into the directory it normally makes with the name of the program where there is a file called Makefile and do:  make    or make install        sometimes sudo is needed before the make or make install but it depends
[03:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhoie: ok... now?
[03:45] <vnese> hello, when I try install ubuntu 7.04, at the login screen, it says: your session lasted less than 10', when i check the message log, it says the library libkrb5.so has invalid ELF header
[03:45] <Tu13es> my menu.lst needs to be changed.  I booted to live CD, but I can't find the file. any ideas?
[03:45] <cec> dzb_ Can you be more specific as to what your issue is?
[03:45] <superjedi> it runs in terminal its called encrypt
[03:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: shut Synaptic Package Manager and start "System->Administration->Update Manager"
[03:46] <superjedi> its a command
[03:46] <n2diy> superjedi: what does it encrypt?
[03:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nothing
[03:46] <superjedi> strings of text you input
[03:47] <n2diy> superjedi: yes, and commands take arguments.
[03:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: click "Check"
[03:47] <genii> Tu13es: You mean the menu.lst that is on your hard drive?
[03:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nothing
[03:47] <kercyr> stefg, so... manuallly installing it from the tar file seems like only option currently.
[03:47] <howlingmadhowie> no updates?
[03:48] <vnese> anyone please, i know it s impolite to ask too much but i dont want to change to another distro because of this silly login thing
[03:48] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then it must have got the new nvidia version from the net. which of course doesn't answer the question as to why it doesn't appear in the restricted drivers list
[03:48] <stefg> !info flashplugin-nonfree
[03:48] <ubotu> flashplugin-nonfree: Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 15 kB, installed size 108 kB (Only available for i386)
[03:48] <Tu13es> genii: yes.
[03:49] <stefg> kercyr: if you run 64bit, see the !flash64 factoid
[03:49] <genii> Tu13es: OK, do you remember previously what partition was mounted for the /    (root) filesystem?
