[03:44] <Gnea> WDC: ok, does df show it?
[03:44] <WDC> Gnea: It does, BUT it is empty

[03:47] <shane2peru> does anyone know about the xserver-xorg-video-intel bug?  mostly with the i855GM intel graphics cards?
[03:48] <shane2peru> The bug report is here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/221316   Someone told me there was an update in the repos and it fixed it, but it didn't fix mine, and I want to be sure it is still being worked on.
[03:48] <WDC> Gnea: It says the SD Card (in /media/) is 127GB. I WISH i had one that big. But seriously it is the size of my partition
[03:49] <wizardslovak> hello  guys
[03:49] <Gnea> WDC: okay, the df -Th  command will tell you what IS mounted on your system - so, for the one line that is mounted (such as: /dev/sda6     ext3     36G   34G  438M  99% /home )
[03:49] <shane2peru> hey even mr ubottu shows it as fixed, but it isn't, does that mean I need to file a new bug?
[03:50] <WDC> Gnea: It's not there.
[03:50] <WDC> Gnea: the sda1 that IS there is 150GB
[03:50] <Gnea> WDC: then it's not mounted.
[03:50] <WDC> no way
[03:50] <WDC> lol
[03:50] <Gnea> WDC: right, /dev/sda1 is your hard disk
[03:50] <Gnea> :)
[03:50] <Gnea> that's just standard ubuntuism
[03:50] <WDC> hmmm. lol
[03:50] <Gnea> and yes, i just made that word up
[03:51] <WDC> You see, I am quite the noob, from Windows
[03:51] <shane2peru> ahh, no one up on bug 221316
[03:51] <Gnea> well, that's okay, we'll get you sorted
[03:51] <shane2peru> !bug #221316
[03:52] <WDC> Gnea: COOL! So how do I mount dis' thing
[03:52] <DrRealHouse> If you want you join in a Windows vs Linux debate, go to http://www.stickam.com/member/loadChatRoom.do?roomId=733779 (Audio and video)
[03:52] <WDC> DrRealHouse: No deal
[03:52] <Gnea> WDC: ok, the && depended on the first command working right - but since it failed (the directory was already there), the second command didn't run
[03:52] <WDC> hmm
[03:52] <WDC> so isolate the second command?
[03:53] <shane2peru> ok, do the dev's have a chat room that I can get to the bottom of this?
[03:53] <Gnea> WDC: therefore, sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0 /media/sdcard
[03:53] <WDC> It want s filesystem
[03:53] <WDC> where do I put that
[03:53] <shane2peru> or better yet, how do I address a serious bug with ubuntu?

[04:14] <num1> admiral_copeland: if you don't mind running windows VirtualBox works perfectly for meas long as you don't want to run anything that requires 3D acceleration
[04:14] <Gnea> admiral_copeland: what?
[04:14] <num1> admiral_copeland: 3d *hardware* acceleration
[04:15] <admiral_copeland> so i can use 3d acceleration as long as its software
[04:15] <adakos> anyone have a good primer on how to run virtual hosts on one computer and run multiple hostnames (www.test.com, www.lol.org, www.i-heart-ubuntu.net)
[04:15] <mamo> SeaPhor, no this makes me wonder...... i could have some stuff on a hard drive and permission was denied for someone, and that person can use a live cd and get into the hard right? or i'm thinking wrong... that is just a wonder
[04:16] <duke3d> hey. I have all the php stuff installed, but php is still not working
[04:16] <pazsion> o good an offical channel
[04:16]  * orgthingy claps
[04:16] <pazsion> =D
[04:16] <num1> admiral_copeland: if you're using VirtualBox then yes, you can use software 3D acceleration (I'm not sure how much of a speed penalty there is but it's probably not much)
[04:16] <admiral_copeland> mamo: yes they could use a live disk
[04:17] <SeaPhor> mamo, well, yes,,, but did you have to put in a password?
[04:17] <pazsion> lolz i got 2 problems
[04:17] <num1> pazsion: shoot and we'll try to answer
[04:17] <mamo> SeaPhor, there is a pass for sudo ofcourse
[04:17] <pazsion> dpkg -reinstall xserver-xorg does nothing...only list more commands
[04:18] <pazsion> arent i sopose to get a gui?
[04:18] <SeaPhor> mamo, and IndyGunFreak would be better one to ask on that,,, good question
[04:18] <Gnea> pazsion: aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg
[04:18] <bigmack83> i cant get my wireless to work on my laptop. im using kubuntu and everything is up to date. but the wireless button on my laptop is red (off) if that makes a difference. maybe i need to install another app? anyone have any ideas what i can do?

[04:18] <pazsion> no i haven't gone to root yet
[04:18] <kcman1> i have a bin file and no way of viewing it in ubuntu can i make it an iso or am i stuck like chuck?
[04:18] <num1> bigmack83: what wireless card are you using?
[04:18] <mamo> SeaPhor, well, after all, the solution will lie in Rar with a pass.... that is what i have always used, and will continue on ubuntu... peace everyone
[04:18] <Gnea> silly game

[04:20] <punkrockguy318> works
[04:21] <Flannel> pazsion: No.  sudo dpkg-reinstall blah blah blah
[04:21] <num1> pazsion: nope, just sudo [command to run], then your password when it prompts you

[04:23] <Bhavesh> i just finished ( a few times)installing ubuntu server, and b/c of libata PM drive gets mapped to dev/sda but for some reason grub didn't get installed correctly
[04:23] <num1> hitman1985: then type "Wine" in the name field

[04:23] <eligos> I had two ntfs volumes and just added a third one but hardy seems to be confused and is not sure wich is wich, anyone knows how can I fix this??
[04:23] <num1> hitman1985: under command I think the command is also just "wine", but give me a second to check
[04:23] <Flannel> orgthingy: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that sort of stuff
[04:23] <orgthingy> yea, i noticed
[04:24] <Bhavesh> but grub was configured to use root(hd2,0) but i had to change it to hd0,0 to make it work correctly
[04:24] <num1> kcman1: I'll help you in a sec, please hold on
[04:24] <hitman1985> num1: think thats goin to bring back my optiions next to it as well ?

[04:24] <djhash> ./configure failed with cannot create executables.. what was the package I needed to compile from source?
[04:24] <num1> hitman1985: yeah if it's installed your settings should still be intact, you're just going to add a menu item so you can use wine
[04:25] <Bhavesh> num1 from what i remember, you will need gcc, binutils, make
[04:25] <hitman1985> num1:  thx in advance for looking it up tho :-)

[04:26] <Don_Miguel> oops !
[04:27] <num1> Bhavesh: for adding a menu item?
[04:27] <Bhavesh> num1 no if you want to compile something from source
[04:27] <num1> hitman1985: so did you install any programs on wine?
[04:27] <Don_Miguel> hitman1985: I think that happened to me once .. and Ihad to do something with the PANELS ... probably the menu thing that num1 mentioend
[04:27] <hitman1985> num1: yes
[04:28] <pazsion> it asks if i am root....and says 11 resource is temp unavailable? x was disabled last boot...

[04:29] <amrik> Hi how can I freeze apt to a certain version number on a package?
[04:29] <grigora> how do i go about forwarding port X on host1 to port Y on host2 through ssh?
[04:29] <hitman1985> num1, i tried uninstalling all wine programs but it wouldnt let me so i uninstalled wine to try it that way (noob style:) )
[04:30] <num1> kcman1: allright, if you click "Applications->Add/Remove" you can type hex editor in the box at the top right of the window that pops up and then click on the check box next to the program called "GNOME Hexedecimal Editor" or something to that effect, and then hit the apply button at the bottom right of the window
[04:31] <hitman1985> Hiro2, hur3huqh730rvppb2nrcba05hgigmzj4
[04:31] <hitman1985> Hiro2, thats ur invite code, no more for today
[04:31] <hitman1985> :)

[04:33] <hitman1985> num1,  what is the command for the wine app
[04:33] <num1> hitman1985: select Programs and make another menu called "Acessories"
[04:33] <pazsion> i did type sudo, it went through a few procceses and said it would need to get 450kb of something from somehwere then E: could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[04:33] <num1> hitman1985: the command is "wine"
[04:33] <num1> hitman1985: but you have to give it an argument, namely the program to run
[04:34] <hitman1985> num1, command is "wine" and then ?
[04:34] <num1> hitman1985: which is why you have to add menu items on a program-to-program basis
[04:34] <hitman1985> ahhhh :(
[04:34] <kcman1> num1 ok i have the editor and i am set to open one of the .bin files anything i need to know?

[04:35] <amrik> I tried marking a package in synaptic to lock its version but when I try to aptitude upgrade it tries to upgrade that package
[04:35] <num1> hitman1985: yeah, notepad is "notepad", "Browse C:\ Drive" is "xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c"
[04:35] <num1> hitman1985: "Configure Wine" is "winecfg", and "Uninstall Wine Software" is "uninstaller0"
[04:35] <hitman1985> num1, holy S.... how come thats so difficult isnt there a way to make the install like first install ?
[04:36] <kcman1> what does eveyone think of the avant window navigator?

[04:47] <iam8up> centos 5.x is all the way up to 2.6.18 lol
[04:47] <tritium> !language | modem_
[04:47] <Flannel> bullgard4: Intel graphics cards had that issue with drivers in Gutsy, but in Hardy, it works fine.
[04:47] <pazsion> i have this toshiba lifebook b 2620
[04:47] <hitman1985> num1, or other stepps involved after the apoly of the changes

[04:48] <Wizard2694> how do you install a program manually
[04:48] <dumbdum> Hi, how do i delete some files from my garbage bin.  You can close the window and go back to aptitude
[04:49] <modem_> lol
[04:49] <hitman1985> num1,  holy moly 10k files ?
[04:49] <weternal> does anyone know what driver I want to install to get my ati 9000 card working
[04:50]  * LadySerena rawrs
[04:50] <modem_> numl, tritium are you guys officially affiliated with ubuntu?
[04:50] <hitman1985> num1, that would be done
[04:50] <wols> weternal: "ati"
[04:50] <num1> hitman1985: you only removed the program, all the files like the programs you installed were still in .wine ;)
[04:50] <hitman1985> num1, i guess so :)
[04:50] <Flannel> modem_: It's not important.  Those are the channel guidelines, regardless of who's asking you to follow them.
[04:50] <num1> hitman1985: so right click wine, choose install, hit double apply :P and type in your password
[04:50] <weternal> wols how do I get that set up?
[04:50] <modem_> lol
[04:50] <hitman1985> num1, is this the same way i want to erase google earth ?
[04:50] <wols> weternal: it's automatic
[04:51] <weternal> hmm
[04:51] <modem_> yep you guys are the reason the antisec movement is great

[04:51] <ValentineX> @modem why u are not working at my linux
[04:51] <num1> hitman1985: What do you mean?
[04:51] <weternal> wols is that card able to run compiz?
[04:51] <tritium> modem_: just stay on topic, please
[04:51] <wols> yes
[04:51] <hitman1985> num1,  i got google earth and need to get rid of it :)
[04:51] <weternal> that's odd
[04:51] <hitman1985> num1,  cant do it with sudo apt-get remove
[04:51] <wols> hitman1985: didn't I tell you already?
[04:51] <Lunis> if i have a handful of debs in a folder, how could I check each one to see if it's fully installed and if it is, rm it?
[04:51] <weternal> ubuntu is saying I can't use it
[04:51] <modem_> lol
[04:52] <ValentineX> @gnea hello sir modem help
[04:52] <hitman1985> num1, thats done with the install
[04:52] <weternal> compiz is automatically installed on hardy right?
[04:52] <wols> Lunis: dkpg -l <packaged neme> | grep ^ii
[04:52] <Flannel> weternal: yes
[04:52] <hitman1985> num1, but still no shortcuts visible :(
[04:52] <alistair> Help: under Wine I have a program which has been uninstalled but still shows up in the Applications/Wine folder. Where can I access these redundant shortcuts to remove them please?
[04:52] <Lunis> wols: there's what I was looking for, thanks a million

[04:53] <Flannel> !synaptic | Wizard2694
[04:53] <G3N0> Is there any possible way to play youtube videos? D:
[04:53] <hitman1985> num1, noooo linux version :)
[04:53] <tritium> hitman1985: google has packaged google earth for ubuntu.  They have their own repository.
[04:53] <weternal> is it listed in the appearance preferences menu as extra effects?
[04:53] <Lunis> wols: that's almost what i need, but i need to check actual deb files
[04:53] <num1> hitman1985: then I have no idea why it won't let you uninstall, unless you didn't install it from synaptic or from apt-get
[04:53] <ValentineX> hello i am a simple user i dont know much and dont know programming i got scan modem as Gnea told me. now i have results what should i do now to install modem?

[04:54] <Wizard2694> im seeing alot more coming out for linux/ubuntu lately
[04:54] <Flannel> weternal: Its very limited at what you can configure out of the box.  install compizconfig-settings-manager for something more like youre used to
[04:54] <pazsion> ok, after letting it boot, it disabled the xserver..becuase its not setup right
[04:54] <num1> hitman1985: I'd try installing a program on wine and seeing if the menu "magically appeared"
[04:54] <hitman1985> tritium, idea how to get rid of that stuff ?
[04:54] <tritium> hitman1985: what stuff?
[04:54] <hitman1985> num1, how to do
[04:54] <weternal> thanks flannel

[04:54] <modem_> what are some sexy themes i can throw on this box?
[04:54] <num1> tritium: he want's to remove the google earth package
[04:54] <pazsion> so in order for sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg to work it needs to be enabled right?
[04:54] <hitman1985> tritium, installed over bin file
[04:55] <Wizard2694> damn ubuntu makes ya feel dumb when you are used to windows
[04:55] <Wizard2694> lol
[04:55] <tritium> modem_: you've already been warned to keep it family-friendly
[04:55] <hitman1985> num1, ima put dreamweaver in cdrom now :)
[04:55] <num1> Wizard2694: the feeling passes after a month of two
[04:55] <tritium> hitman1985: you didn't install the google package (.deb.)?
[04:55] <num1> hitman1985: lol, no no screenshot is necessary
[04:55] <Lunis> tritium: i have to ask, does "sexy themes" constitute not family friendly?
[04:55] <G3N0> so there's absolutely no way to possible watch youtube videos in firefox on ubuntu?
[04:55] <peepsalot> i burned a dvd, which has multiple chapters, but when i try to load it in movie player(totem), it only plays the first chapter.  Is there a way to make it see the whole playlist?

[04:59] <shadowblade> Hello, I'm trying to install gvfs from source, and ./configure told me "Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6' but version of GLib Uninstalled is 2.16.0", so I installed glib 2.17.7 from source, but synaptic still says the installed version is 2.16.4, so the configure for gvfs is still seeing it as out of date. Help?
[05:00] <hitman1985> http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
[05:00] <Kurcz_> can someone help me set up my sound? I tried the guides but I'm not having any luck
[05:00] <hitman1985> tritium, http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
[05:00] <crdlb> shadowblade: why would you do that?
[05:00] <hitman1985> tritium, thats what i downloaded :)
[05:00] <tritium> hitman1985: use the google repositories for which I gave you a URL.
[05:00] <Lunis> modem_: deb http://www.nanolx.org/apt excelsior main
[05:00] <ganjaman> what filesystem would you run on a 4tb partition?
[05:00] <hitman1985> tritium, i want to get rid of it not install it :)
[05:00] <Lunis> modem_: to save you the poking around
[05:00] <ganjaman> i think ext3 is to bananistic
[05:00] <shadowblade> crdlb: I'm getting errors from nautilus like "Cannot open computer: locations" and one tip from the support forums was to install the latest version of gvfs from the offical sources.
[05:00] <G3N0> weternal: thanks man it works now :D
[05:01] <cafree> Can someone walk me through how to configure sound support in VirtualBox?  I don't see any settings for it
[05:01] <Guest1091> @Paz - I believe you can use "sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf"
[05:01] <Bhavesh> can i still download/install ubuntu server 8.04 ?
[05:01] <hitman1985> tritium, that gives you a googleearthlinux.bin file
[05:01] <tritium> hitman1985: yes, I know
[05:01] <hitman1985> tritium, do you know how to get my wine shortcuts back in the applications ?
[05:01] <ganjaman> you need to drink beere
[05:02] <modem_> Lunis, thanks a bunch :)
[05:02] <hitman1985> tritium, cuz i installed dw8 now and still no luck :(
[05:02] <tritium> hitman1985: I don't use wine, sorry
[05:02] <crdlb> shadowblade: it would be much more practical to upgrade to intrepid once it hits beta
[05:02] <SeaPhor> pazsion, what are you wanting to do in the xorg.conf?
[05:02] <Lunis> modem_: enjoy :)
[05:02] <velvithammer> beer
[05:02] <pazsion> ooo ok i need to be connected =)
[05:02] <hitman1985> tritium, why why why did i stuupido erase it in the first place :( <- mad at myself now
[05:02] <crdlb> shadowblade: but you may need to specify PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig when running ./configure
[05:02] <shadowblade> crdlb: I kind of needed to get to a usb flash drive in the next hour.
[05:02] <[z]neo> hey guys, is this installation setup for freenx works on hardy heron? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[05:02] <crdlb> shadowblade: mount? :)
[05:03] <hitman1985> tritium, ur good with getting a word list from a external / network storage ? ie 1 tb hdd with songs in a list as txt file ?
[05:03] <skpl> can someone help me with adding a new program to my applications menu?
[05:04] <shadowblade> crdlb: It doesn't automount and I don't know the /dev file for it - also I gather from the forums that the problem breaking nautilus may also render flash drives unmountable
[05:04] <ari_stress> skpl: right click on the menu > edit menu
[05:04] <skpl> ari_stress: i cannot seem to find the program i am looking for. it is the thundebrird mail client and i know it is installed but i do not know where theprogram is stored
[05:05] <bozy> test
[05:05] <hitman1985> tritium, was nice talkin to you got to run, cya good night
[05:05] <ari_stress> skpl: thunderbird is in 'internet' cathegory
[05:05] <bozy> hello every one
[05:05] <skpl> ari_stress: im sorry but i do not have that there
[05:05] <ari_stress> skpl: maybe u dont have thunderbird installed?
[05:06] <cycom> skpl: Applications -> Internet -> Thunderbird isn't there?
[05:06] <skpl> ari_stress: according to synaptic i do
[05:06] <skpl> cycom: no, only evolution mail client
[05:06] <pazsion> SEAphor i just re-installed xserver-xorg i'm rebooting to see if this fujitsu lifebook b2620 will run ubuntu
[05:06] <ari_stress> skpl: how about typing 'thunderbird' in a terminal, just to make sure
[05:06] <skpl> ari_stress: command not found
[05:07] <cycom> skpl: then you don't have it installed.
[05:07] <SeaPhor> pazsion, there are some graphical fixes if not working the first time
[05:07] <cycom> skpl: try to have synaptic re-install it.
[05:07] <skpl> cycom ok thank you
[05:07] <cycom> skpl: don't forget about ari_stress :)
[05:07] <bozy> I installed apache2 ,but the file httpd.conf is empty.What can I do?
[05:08] <skpl> ari_stress:  thank you as well
[05:08] <Flannel> bozy: debian based distros don't use httpd.conf, they use a number of other files depending on what you're modifying.  What are you trying to change?
[05:08] <tritium> bozy: that's normal
[05:08]  * LadySerena coughs up a BSD hairball
[05:09] <cycom> LadySerena: ugh. been licking that demon again?
[05:09] <ari_stress> no problem skpl: apt-get install thunderbird
[05:09] <Flannel> bozy: apache2.conf is for serverwide configs, stuff in mods-enabled/ is for module configs and stuff in sites-enabled/ is for specific virtual hosts.
[05:09] <G3N0> whoever invented the sudo apt-get system is a genious :) and a time-saver
[05:09] <LadySerena> its daemon, not demon  ¬.¬
[05:09] <Leefmc> Question: Whats a good DVD Player?   I wanted to change the way the file browser would mount a drive so I edited the fstab file, now when I try to mount the drive in the file browser I am told "unable to mount" and that I need to mount the volume as root.  While before it would ask me for my root password, now it does not... if before I needed permission and it would ask me, what do I need to set in fstab so that it will ask me now?
[05:10] <tritium> Leefmc: xine is another option
[05:10] <pazsion> o dude, i'm usint 7.04....wth?
[05:10] <pazsion> i thought it upgraded...
[05:10] <G3N0> If i just installed a program through sudo apt-get and its nto showing up in the applications drop down menu how do i run it?
[05:10] <Leefmc> tritium: Which is better? I've personally never liked vlc
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> xine isn't bad.. but it is a bit glitchy for me
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> !best | Leefmc
[05:11] <tritium> Leefmc: depends on your preference.
[05:11] <G3N0> how do i run a program through terminal without navigation to it?
[05:11] <cycom> Leefmc: try totem-xine :)
[05:11] <Leefmc> IndyGunFreak: Yes yes, but just assume when people ask you which is "best", that they want your opinion. :p, after all, thats all you can give anyway. Nothing is "best".
[05:11] <tritium> G3N0: if it's not already in your path, specify the full path
[05:11] <cycom> Leefmc: lets you use all your pretty multimedia buttons on a laptop, but works with DVDs
[05:12] <G3N0> tritium: i don't know the path thats the thing, how do i search it?
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> Leefmc: but some people think there's actually  'best' application for something, when there's not
[05:12] <tritium> G3N0: which, whereis, find, etc.
[05:12] <Leefmc> IndyGunFreak: Blech, imo there is :). Sure its still opinion, but generally as long as the opinion is educated, it is probably right.
[05:12] <G3N0> tritium: omg that was easy thankyou
[05:12] <cycom> Leefmc: you might have to remove totem-gstreamer to get it to use totem-xine though.  not sure how to select totem-xine as the default.
[05:13] <bozy> think you, Flannel
[05:13] <cycom> Leefmc: but totem-xine is what I use until totem-gstreamer supports DVD menus.
[05:13] <IndyGunFreak> later all
[05:13] <tritium> G3N0: got it working?
[05:13] <G3N0> tritium: trying now ;)
[05:14] <anachronoks> anyone figured out a way to watch the olympics?
[05:14] <pazsion> ugh, xorg is still loading the last config after reinstalling xserver-xorg...i need it to detect it or let me select other drivers/modules
[05:14] <G3N0> tritium: wierd.... it says launching kismet server. suid priv-dropping disabled. this may not be secuire. done.
[05:14] <cycom> LadySerena: also, BSD might call it a Daemon, but I don't answer to them :)
[05:14] <tritium> anachronoks: I think your question lacks detail.  I'm watching them right now.
[05:14] <pazsion> watching the olyimpics...turn on the tv?
[05:15] <anachronoks> considering this is a ubuntu chat and not a TV chat, i thought the context was already clear ;)
[05:15] <cycom> pazsion: there's a command to reconfigure Xorg automagically, but I can't remember it... make a backup of your old xorg.conf just in case though
[05:15] <tritium> anachronoks: you might let us know, then, if you have a TV tuner card, or what you're asking
[05:15] <hbalint> hi. I have a problem. don't know, how to get my ati radeon X300 videocard work fine on ubuntu8.04?  I wanted to play Age of mithology, in wine. but, the screen is flicking. it do it also if I want to play Supertux. what should I do?
[05:16] <LadySerena> Xorg -configure
[05:16] <pazsion> the old xorg is not needed
[05:16] <LadySerena> you'd know that if you read your manuals  :)
[05:16] <utnubu_user> I need to know if ubuntu stores data about the users and their activities like windows does. If so, how can I delete such files?
[05:16] <tritium> cycom, LadySerena: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:16] <Flannel> utnubu_user: which activities?
[05:16] <anachronoks> okay, let me try again. does anyone know how to watch the olympics, online, without a tv tuner card or a TV
[05:16] <LadySerena> tritium, that seems needlessly complicated
[05:16] <tritium> LadySerena: it's not
[05:16] <anachronoks> on Ubuntu!!
[05:16] <anachronoks> ;)
[05:16] <Leefmc> Bah. vlc isn't working heh
[05:17] <LadySerena> Xorg -configure  <-- what could be easier?
[05:17] <hbalint> Xorg -configure
[05:17] <cycom> tritium: pazsion I think he needs dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:17] <tritium> cycom: not generally
[05:18] <tritium> LadySerena: xserver-xorg is under package management.  It is best to use dpkg-reconfigure in such cases.
[05:18] <LadySerena> actually, /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't even exist on my laptop  :D
[05:18] <pazsion> abc i think is the boradcast network
[05:18] <cycom> LadySerena: Oh? How come?
[05:19] <LadySerena> never made it
[05:19] <anachronoks> well i guess i just have to install windows like with 90% of the other stuff i want to do
[05:19] <Reformer81> I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
[05:19] <utnubu_user> Flannel, something like which applications are used, which internet sites are visited, and other personal data
[05:19] <sk33t0r> hey all.. I've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to circumvent that minor inconvenience
[05:19] <skpl> can someone explain to me how to change my login password in ubuntu?
[05:19] <Leefmc> cycom: How do you view a dvd with totem-xine? I downloaded it, but it has no icon, and all i see is the standard totem
[05:19] <cycom> LadySerena: as in you never use X or as in it autoconfigures itself?
[05:19] <Reformer81> anachronoks: Sadly, that is sometimes the only solution.
[05:19] <cycom> Leefmc: uninstall totem-gstreamer
[05:19] <cycom> then run totem
[05:19] <Reformer81> skpl: System > Administration > Users & Groups
[05:19] <cycom> it's the standard totem interface, just with a different backend
[05:19] <LadySerena> I use X ... sometimes.  I just let it autodetect everything.  :3
[05:20] <Flannel> utnubu_user: internet sites visited would be stored in the webbrowser, you can clear them out through firefox.  I'm not sure about what sort of "other personal data", but which applications are used isn't stored, no.
[05:20] <anachronoks> okay.. thanks anyway
[05:20] <Reformer81> Leefmc: If you install totem-xine, it's basically just a pack of codecs.  The DVD should open in regular Totem now.
[05:20] <weternal> hey I'm trying to get compiz to do all of the cool stuff I've seen it do in videos
[05:20] <Leefmc> Reformer81: It didnt
[05:20] <cycom> LadySerena: I tend to have special things like ATI or NVidia drivers or wacom tablets or other crap :)
[05:20] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Now it does
[05:20] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Now that gstreamer is gone
[05:20] <cycom> Leefmc: besides, I like my wobbly windows.
[05:20] <anachronoks> weternal i believe you need to install the advanced desktop effect settings
[05:20] <pazsion> ok if i update this somehow from 7.04 to 8.04 will i beable to reconfigure xorg as well?
[05:20] <cycom> Leefmc: and you'll get all your fancy menus too! :)
[05:21] <tritium> utnubu_user: some programs store user data in dot-files or directories.  (e.g., pidgin stores account info in ~/.purple)
[05:21] <sk33t0r> anyone ever have to restart their pc for ubuntu to recognize a new usb device?
[05:21] <weternal> I just installed the advanced desktop effects settings
[05:21] <cycom> pazsion: is this a dell laptop that came with 7.04 preinstalled?
[05:21] <Leefmc> cycom: Hmm, it said it cant play it without libdvdcss, but there isn't a libdvdcss in the repo..
[05:21] <FuRom> How do I upgrade intltool to intltool 0.40.0 or higher?
[05:21] <LadySerena> I have my touchpad and a USB mouse that I sometimes connect, both are handled by moused
[05:21] <weternal> I'm not sure how to configure it thought
[05:21] <Leefmc> cycom: I have libdvdread3 installed, but thats obviously not working heh
[05:21] <LadySerena> Xorg doesn't know which is which, since it just reads /dev/sysmouse
[05:21] <cycom> Leefmc: you have to enable universe and multiverse I think.
[05:22] <Reformer81> Leefmc: libdvdcss is illegal to distribute.  Search google for it and you'll find instructions on how to install it.
[05:22] <xxploit> Leefmc: add the medibuntu repo
[05:22] <cycom> Leefmc: also check out medibuntu, since it has w32codecs.
[05:22] <tritium> !medibuntu | Leefmc
[05:22] <pazsion> lolz dell does that? damn dell....no it is fujitusu
[05:22] <anachronoks> weternal you go through the list of effects and turn the ones on you want to use. click the icon to configure them
[05:22] <pazsion> and i've installed it myself
[05:22] <cycom> pazsion: sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled? yeah.
[05:22] <weternal> I've been playing with it for a bit but it's not doing the wobbly windows or the cool minimize effects or the cube desktop
[05:23] <Reformer81> weternal: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:23] <pazsion> cycom your right i do...i didn't know dell did, ubuntu is kinda new to me
[05:23] <utnubu_user> Flannel, I am asking this because the US is checking electronic equipment such as laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, etc at the airports or entry points. I do not want them looking at what I do on my pc, since sensitive data can be stolen...
[05:23] <Reformer81> weternal: That will give you access to all the settings of Compiz.
[05:23] <anachronoks> wobbly windows is under effects, did you try enabling it?
[05:23] <Reformer81> utnubu_user: The US does not turn it on to see what you've been doing.
[05:23] <cycom> pazsion: but yeah, I'd do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg.  that should get you back to close to the defaults.  why did you change it in ther first place?
[05:23] <cycom> I'd get X working _before_ you upgrade to 8.04
[05:24] <weternal> yeah I'm trying to get the compizconfig settings manager to do some of the basic effects and it's not
[05:24] <Reformer81> weternal: Try setting everything to default.
[05:24] <pazsion> cycom so i could see what i was doing, and its always reconfiguered itself in the past
[05:24] <ganymede> is there a way to make SCIM input global and default? now, in gtk apps, i have to right click a text entry box and set the input method to SCIM, but i'd like the text input method to be SCIM always, on all applications
[05:24] <Reformer81> I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
[05:24] <cycom> weternal: did you go into appearence and enable desktop effects already?
[05:24] <utnubu_user> Reformer81, Well, as far as I know they do it now. I saw it a few mins. ago at the news. "To avoid terrorist activities"
[05:25] <LadySerena> http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/LadySerena/laptop/panther_logos.jpg
[05:25] <LadySerena> Panther, my little laptop  <3
[05:25] <cycom> weternal: as in System->Preferences->Appearence?
[05:25] <modem_> utnubu_user, use LVM
[05:25] <Reformer81> utnubu_user: Haha... wouldn't surprise me.  Oh well... land of the free.
[05:25] <Reformer81> ...or something like that
[05:25] <weternal> when I try to do that it tells me that I can't use desktop effects
[05:25] <bringatowel> utnubu_user, if you want you can delete your whole /home/username directory and recreate each time you start, but it would be a hassle. have you considered encrypting the entire hard drive?
[05:25] <cycom> weternal: well that's why you're not getting them :)
[05:25] <weternal> I was wondering if I was using the right video card driver
[05:25] <cycom> weternal: what graphics card do you have?
[05:25] <weternal> ati 9000
[05:26] <cycom> weternal: do you have fglrx installed?
[05:26] <G3N0> whats the command to find out my chipset?
[05:26] <weternal> someone told me that should work with the compiz effects
[05:26] <weternal> um not sure
[05:26] <weternal> is that a proprietary driver
[05:26] <weternal> probably not
[05:26] <Reformer81> utnubu_user: You could also just password protect it.  Besides, I doubt the security personnel have ever seen Linux.
[05:26] <weternal> I tried installing the xorg driver
[05:26] <weternal> but that didn't change the problem
[05:26] <tritium> !enter | weternal
[05:27] <weternal> oh sorry
[05:27] <cycom> weternal: go into system->administration->hardware drivers
[05:27] <G3N0> how do i find out my chipset?
[05:27] <modem_> utnubu_user, id use LVM (aes-256) to encrypt the entire drive (swap space included)
[05:27] <cycom> G3N0: try lspci in terminal.
[05:27] <G3N0> ty
[05:27] <weternal> it says no proprietary drivers
[05:28] <Reformer81> weternal: Well, the ATI 9000 is a really old card......
[05:28] <sk33t0r> I've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to get around this inconvenience ?
[05:28] <Reformer81> Then again, I get great Compiz effects with just onboard video :)
[05:28] <modem_> you can go all with that and keep /boot on a USB key so no one can boot without the key
[05:28] <grendal_prime> cycom: i have one of those
[05:28] <Reformer81> modem_: That works?
[05:28] <pazsion> cycom conflicting actions??? sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:28] <Reformer81> modem_: Only if you can boot from USB, of course, right?
[05:29] <|2-bits|> hey. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure network manager to run a specified script upon connection to a particular access point?
[05:29] <weternal> hmm should it be offering to download a driver for the ati 9000?
[05:29] <cycom> pazsion: dpkg-reconfigure. no space
[05:29] <cycom> grendal_prime: one of what?
[05:29] <modem_> Reformer81, yeah you need to be able to boot from it
[05:29] <pazsion> ah
[05:29] <Reformer81> weternal: Uhm, if that's what you have, then I'm sure that's what it should be downloading :P
[05:29] <Leefmc> ugh i give up loi. Some things ubuntu really needs to work on.. i cant even play this damn dvd :o
[05:29] <omkar> friends help me a bit I am in System-Admin-Printing I have to connect to a Shared Printer which is connected to a Windows XP machine on the Network
[05:29] <grendal_prime> 1420 dell with preinstalled ubuntu
[05:29] <cycom> grendal_prime: oh! :) I have an E1505 running intrepid :)
[05:29] <weternal> it's not offering to download anything thought
[05:29] <tritium> Leefmc: did you read the medibuntu info I sent you?
[05:29] <grendal_prime> 4 gigs of ram...it flat out is the bomb
[05:30] <Leefmc> Works fine in a old as hell dvd player at work, but it can't play in modern day ubuntu, argh :o.
[05:30] <grendal_prime> everthing worked on the thing out of the box.
[05:30] <Leefmc> tritium: I added it already, and installed libdvdcss2
[05:30] <cycom> weternal: try installing xserver-xorg-fglrx
[05:30] <tritium> Leefmc: so what's the problem?
[05:30] <weternal> do I have to add that to my repositories?
[05:30] <modem_> i got a dell d830 ubuntu works pretty well on it except for the nvidia driver
[05:30] <cycom> grendal_prime: I upgrade to intrepid to get evdev and stuff working right again.  Couldn't be happier.
[05:30] <G3N0> cycom: hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers
[05:30] <pazsion>  no spaces at all cycom or just at dpkg-reconfigure
[05:30] <Reformer81> Leefmc: What is the DVD?
[05:30] <Leefmc> tritium: It doesn't play, as i mentioned ;), but i gatta go to bed. I've spent hours fighting linux tonight haha, cant take anymore
[05:30] <weternal> or is that from the ubuntu repositories
[05:30] <cycom> weternal: well, search for it first in there.
[05:30] <grendal_prime> what is intrepid?
[05:31] <zzl> when is Ubuntu Netbook Remix coming out??
[05:31] <Reformer81> Leefmc: Is it original or a copy?
[05:31] <cycom> pazsion: just in dpkg-reconfigure
[05:31] <G3N0> grendal_prime: a car by dodge
[05:31] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Hot Fuzz, i wanted to finish it damnit :(
[05:31] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Original
[05:31] <tritium> Leefmc: I know what it doesn't do.  What _does_ it do when you try?
[05:31] <Reformer81> hmm
[05:31] <Flannel> zzl: Its out, just not in the official repos.  There's a PPA for it
[05:31] <Flannel> !intrepid | grendal_prime
[05:31] <wizard_2> what is normally in charge of checking and emailing users about quotas?
[05:31] <pazsion> thnk y
[05:31] <zzl> flannel: where can I get it?
[05:31] <grendal_prime> ahh ok
[05:31] <Reformer81> Leefmc: Personally, I've never been able to get Totem to play DVDs.  I've always used VLC for it.
[05:31] <G3N0> hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers
[05:31] <grendal_prime> im still running gutsy on this thing
[05:31] <Flannel> zzl: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix
[05:31] <cycom> G3N0: you have to figure it out based on the output of lspci.  it'll show you the name of the card and stuff.
[05:31] <G3N0> okay ty
[05:32] <Leefmc> tritium: Heh sorry, just tired and being smart. My bad. totem-xine just stalls at the front of the dvd (some dvd legal message, etc)
[05:32] <tritium> G3N0: it hsould
[05:32] <grendal_prime> uses nvida drivers..and i simply cannot have this thing down for any amount of time right now.
[05:32] <cycom> G3N0: from there you have to do a little googling to find the right drivers, or search in synaptic
[05:32] <weternal> it's saying that it couldn't find package
[05:32] <pazsion> oh hell yes exactly what i need cycom thank you thank you  THAN YOU
[05:32] <tritium> Leefmc: well, come back tomorrow and we can work through it
[05:32] <cycom> Leefmc: did you get medibuntu?
[05:32] <cycom> pazsion: np dude.
[05:32] <cycom> pazsion: been in that boat a few times myself :)
[05:32] <Leefmc> cycom: Yes
[05:32] <cycom> I have literally three different laptops running ubuntu.
[05:32] <zzl> flannel: you can use it on laptops too right?
[05:32] <cycom> Leefmc: did you install libdvdcss?
[05:32] <Reformer81> Leefmc: And you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[05:32] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Heh, vlc hasn't done crap the whole time. It just opens up the dvd (it reads the title), then it just stops. No picture ever shown
[05:32] <Flannel> zzl: Yep, anywhere actually.
[05:33] <G3N0> cycom: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61). where would I look for that? google?
[05:33] <pazsion> ok now what driver sets would be compatable with fujitsu laptops?
[05:33] <Leefmc> Reformer81: I got libdvdcss, and iirc i got ubuntu restricted ages ago, but offhand i cant remember
[05:33] <pazsion> video drivers...
[05:33] <modem_> woohoo got my wifi led working
[05:33] <tritium> Leefmc: apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras, to tell for sure
[05:33] <Leefmc> Reformer81: Yes i do, after looking.
[05:33] <cycom> G3N0: it's an intel card? you sure it's not working already?
[05:33] <weternal> hmm so how should I go about getting a driver for the ati 900
[05:33] <cycom> G3N0: wireless drivers, yeah?
[05:33] <cycom> weternal: that's fglrx.
[05:33] <cycom> weternal: or radeonHD, though I'm not sure if that's in Hardy.
[05:33] <G3N0> cycom: im gonna test it out, like im trying to use kismet and it says i need to fill in the config
[05:33] <cycom> weternal: search synaptic for fglrx
[05:33] <Leefmc> This DVD is apparently better than Ubuntu. :D
[05:34] <Leefmc> Anyway
[05:34] <Leefmc> night
[05:34] <Leefmc> got work heh
[05:34] <Leefmc> thanks for tryin guysd
[05:34] <FloodBot3> Leefmc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:34] <cycom> G3N0: oh, you have to edit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
[05:34] <majid> hi
[05:34] <weternal> ok, searching...
[05:34] <G3N0> cycom: # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel]
[05:34] <pazsion> peace lee
[05:34] <G3N0> cycom: im stuck there
[05:34] <cycom> G3N0: that's a little beyond the scope of this channel :)
[05:34] <Leefmc> FloodBot3: You make ubuntu work on simple stuff, and i'll stop flooding! (Yes i know its a bot heh)
[05:34] <G3N0> cycom: talk in private :)
[05:34] <Leefmc> lates
[05:35] <cycom> G3N0: well, better for everyone to learn, right?
[05:35] <AdrianStrays> How do I mount a flashcard? I stick it in but it doesn't appear anywhere?
[05:35] <majid> who can help me
[05:35] <shaozuozhen>  weternal: hey,how is it going?
[05:35] <Reformer81> Can someone explain why print shops claim to have never seen an ODT or ODS file? ;)
[05:35] <G3N0> cycom: okay but yeah im stuck there: # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel]
[05:35] <cycom> G3N0: you said it's a 4965? do you know what driver it uses?
[05:35] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: Be sure to look under the "Places" menu... it may not actually place an icon onyour desktop for it.
[05:35] <G3N0> G3N0: nooooooo idea thats why i was looking in the first place
[05:36] <G3N0> cycom: *
[05:36] <Flannel> Reformer81: Because most print shops don't deal with .doc files either.
[05:36] <majid> I have acer 4315 ubuntu  but no modem
[05:36] <cycom> G3N0: try checking lsmod.
[05:36] <arrrghhh> hey my machine is locking up hardcore - but i don't get see anything in /var/log/messages?
[05:36] <weternal> what do I do after this download is complete
[05:36] <AdrianStrays> reformer81, its not there either
[05:36] <cycom> G3N0: for example, lsmod | grep 4965
[05:36] <hiptobecubic> is there a way to start a terminal with certain window dimensions and 'always on top' ?
[05:36] <pazsion> vesa should work with any computer right??? for a video driver?
[05:36] <cycom> pazsion: yeah
[05:36] <Xcerca> flash in firefox is different with x64 right ?
[05:36] <PCP> Anyone here have an experience with svn
[05:36] <pazsion> atleast untill i find out what is actually in this thing
[05:36] <Xcerca> i'm trying to install it
[05:36] <Flannel> !anyone | PCP
[05:36] <Reformer81> Flannel: Hmm.. they can open Microsoft formats just fine.
[05:37] <G3N0> cycom: iwlwifi_mac80211      219108  1 iwl4965
[05:37] <AdrianStrays> Reformer81: Do you have any idea whats wrong?
[05:37] <Reformer81> I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
[05:37] <cycom> G3N0: bingo
[05:37] <G3N0> cycom: OR? cfg80211               15112  1 iwlwifi_mac80211
[05:37] <cycom> ok, now what interface is your wireless card?
[05:37] <cycom> no, iwl4965 is the driver.
[05:37] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: Take the drive out.  Then reinsert it.  Then type 'dmesg' in the terminal.  The last lines SHOULD say something about the USB drive.
[05:38] <weternal> do I want do disable any other drivers I might have running my video card
[05:38] <G3N0> cycom: okay i gotchya. i have no idea its built into mi laptopo
[05:38] <LadySerena> Intel Wireless should be iwi0 or iw0
[05:38] <cycom> G3N0: try typing iwconfig
[05:38] <AdrianStrays> Reformer81: Its not a drive, the laptop has a built in slot for it.
[05:38] <fasttrack> hy all, i just found a small and easy hack that makes installing ies4linux more comfortable
[05:38] <sleepster> anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed?
[05:38] <cycom> G3N0: the one that doesn't have 'no wireless extensions' is likely the interface.
[05:38] <G3N0> cycom: there's 3 of them :o
[05:38] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: But it's actually still a drive (much like a CD-ROM drive or floppy drive... this happens to be a flash drive) :)
[05:38] <cycom> LadySerena: mine is wlan0, so you can't really be sure.
[05:38] <cycom> G3N0: what are they called?
[05:39] <Reformer81> fasttrack: Blog it :)
[05:39] <zzl> is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine??
[05:39] <fasttrack> most users face problem that the installation gets corrupt most of the times. and many get tired restarting it.
[05:39] <G3N0> cycom: wlan0    my bad theres only one
[05:39] <LadySerena> wireless on my laptop is zyd0
[05:39] <AdrianStrays> Reformer81: I don't see it as a drive under Computer either.
[05:39] <cycom> G3N0: ok, so that's the second section.
[05:39] <Reformer81> zzl: Short answer, no.  Long answer, use OpenOffice.org.
[05:39] <fasttrack> its nothing great. just a one line bash script
[05:39] <cycom> G3N0: the third section is just what you want to call it in kismet
[05:39] <tritium> LadySerena: that doesn't sound like ubuntu.
[05:39] <zzl> reformer81:what?
[05:39] <zzl> is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine??
[05:39] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: What did dmesg say?  The last couple lines after you inserted it.
[05:39] <G3N0> cycom: whats the first?
[05:39] <zzl> such as exe files
[05:39] <Reformer81> !repeat | zzl
[05:39] <Xcerca> what do i have to install to watch youtube videos ?  flash right , is there anything special for x64 versions ?
[05:39] <cycom> G3N0: so figure... source = iwl4965, wlan0, Intel
[05:40] <cycom> G3N0: Intel is just a random name I picked.
[05:40] <favro>  how come I can't profile the boot sequence in hardy like I could in gutsy/feisty/edgy/dapper?
[05:40] <G3N0> cycom: and the iwl4965 is what again? (trying to learn)
[05:40] <fasttrack> i'll paste it here. but i assume most already may have made it for themselves..
[05:40] <cycom> G3N0: keep in mind, this will cause your wireless connection to drop.
[05:40] <arrrghhh> i have a headless system that is locking up hardcore - won't respond to pings, and every service just stops.  i hook a monitor up to it, and the montior never goes out of low-power mode.  where can i check the problem?  i don't see anything in /var/log/messages
[05:40] <Reformer81> zzl: I'm trying to help you.  There are absolutely ZERO Linux distibutions that will run an .EXE file without using wine.
[05:40] <weternal> ok so I downloaded the fglrs driver
[05:40] <fasttrack> zzl: try react os
[05:40] <cycom> G3N0: it's the driver for that card. the kernel module.
[05:40] <Reformer81> zzl: What are you trying to do?
[05:40] <Flannel> arrrghhh: hook up a keyboard and REISUB?
[05:40] <G3N0> cycom: im wired at the moment. okay i understand
[05:40] <cycom> G3N0: your card is an intel 4965, right?
[05:40] <zzl> run an exe file on linux
[05:40] <G3N0> cycom: yeah
[05:40] <cycom> G3N0: so it uses a module (driver) named iwl4965.
[05:41] <AdrianStrays> Reformer81: Something about start kernel and boot options, it doesn't look related.  Also, I noticed further up it said Firefox was "tainted" what does that mean?
[05:41] <weternal> how do I get the driver I installed to work
[05:41] <chuy_max> hey guys, how can I search for files that contain "STRING" using console?
[05:41] <G3N0> cycom: i understand thanks for teaching me.. lets see what i else i dont get :)
[05:41] <weternal> or is it already working?
[05:41] <z_> sudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf - can you say something smart about it?
[05:41] <cycom> G3N0: My laptop has an Intel 3945, so I use iwl3945. :)
[05:41] <arrrghhh> Flannel, well when i power it off and back on, it works great.  no interference by me at all.
[05:41] <hbalint> so, can someone help me?
[05:41] <cycom> G3N0: no problem dude :) It's why I hang out here.
[05:41] <AdrianStrays> Refomer81:Shall I do a paste bin?
[05:41] <fasttrack> zzl : use vmware, xen..or those things to boot an windows inmage within linux... or have a look at reactos... make it run in virtualised env
[05:41] <shaozuozhen>  weternal: restart the X window???
[05:41] <weternal> what's the x window?
[05:42] <sleepster> anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed?
[05:42] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: No idea.  But yeah, pastebin the last few lines of the dmesg output.  Remember, remove the flash disc and then run dmesg RIGHT AFTER plugging it back in.
[05:42] <LadySerena> sleepster, take a look at the mailing lists?
[05:42] <cycom> G3N0: at some point you should try to install gentoo (preferably in a virtual machine) to learn a bit more about the Linux Kernel and how modules work.  I suggest it merely because it makes you do most things manually, and teaches you a lot of linux commands the hard (memorable) way.
[05:42] <AdrianStrays> !pastebin
[05:42] <seanliu> how to restart x window
[05:42] <fasttrack> can i paste the 3 line bash script here? will it be useful for anyone? or will i be flooding unneccessarily?
[05:42] <hbalint> I tried to use virtualbox. it uses the host audio, but it can't use the host video
[05:42] <Flannel> fasttrack: Just use pastebin
[05:43] <weternal> ok so I'm not sure how to proceed from here
[05:43] <fasttrack> k
[05:43] <zzl> fasttrack: can you install reactos? or just live cd like?
[05:43] <shaozuozhen>  weternal:  press "ctrl+alt+backspace" to restart X window
[05:43] <Reformer81> hbalint: Yeah, virtualization can't yet use accelerated video cards.
[05:43] <seanliu> how can i download QQ?
[05:43] <Flannel> seanliu: pidgin can do QQ
[05:43] <LadySerena> LAWL
[05:43] <Reformer81> zzl: ReactOS does not have a live cd... go to www.reactos.com to learn more (it is NOT Linux, however)
[05:44] <shaozuozhen> seanliu:  surf this : www.qq.com to download QQ4Linux
[05:44] <hbalint> but how can I get the x300 to work fine on linux?, amnd in wine?
[05:44] <LadySerena> ReactOS tries to replace Failows with some thing that fails less
[05:44] <AdrianStrays> Reformer81: Here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39009/
[05:44] <weternal> ok so I restarted the x window
[05:44] <shaozuozhen>  weternal :how is it going?
[05:45] <arrrghhh> Flannel, i just want to figure out why the system is locking up...
[05:45] <weternal> but the desktop appearance manager is still telling me that I can't enable the compiz effects
[05:45] <Reformer81> AdrianStrays: Looks like you have several issues... way  beyond my knowledge.  Sorry.
[05:45] <Flannel> arrrghhh: The monitor never comes out of power saving mode even while booting?
[05:45] <hbalint> or should I reconfigure x? or what should I try?
[05:45] <Theaxiom> Can ubuntu see vista NTFS partitions and be able to read/write to them?
[05:45] <favro> how do I profile the boot sequence in hardy?
[05:45] <tritium> Theaxiom: yes.
[05:45] <Flannel> favro: bootchart
[05:45] <Theaxiom> tritium, thanks
[05:45] <Xcerca> how can i find out which ubuntu i have ... hardy/dapper...... ?
[05:45] <arrrghhh> Flannel, it's fine once i reboot it.  but i want to track down the source of the lockup.  it's happened 2x now.
[05:46] <shaozuozhen> weternal: sorry I have no idea...
[05:46] <tritium> Xcerca: lsb_release -a
[05:46] <weternal> is this just a case of I should get a newer video card that's compatible with ubuntu
[05:46] <Flannel> arrrghhh: Does it happen quickly or take a while?
[05:46] <weternal> because I've got an open minipci slot
[05:46] <Xcerca> tritium thanks
[05:46] <Theaxiom> does the nvidia geforce 8800GTX work great in ubuntu?
[05:46] <arrrghhh> Flannel, usually takes a while.
[05:46] <hbalint> because it is strange,m, that the linux can use my card to work with compiz, and get some effects, but
[05:46] <Reformer81> weternal: No.  There's no need to get a new card.
[05:47] <Reformer81> weternal: You just need to figure out why yours isn't working.  Can you not even start Ubuntu?  Is that the issue?
[05:47] <Flannel> arrrghhh: Mmmm, well, if there are no logs being written successfully to disk, you might have to rely on the monitor
[05:47] <weternal> no, ubuntu is working fine, I'm just not able to get the visual effects that I'd like from compiz
[05:47] <Xcerca> to watch you tube movies you need flash right ?
[05:48] <weternal> It's not a huge problem if the ati 9000 doesn't support compiz
[05:48] <shaozuozhen> weternal:that's the same problem with my friend's
[05:48] <arrrghhh> !multiverse | Xcerca
[05:48] <chuy_max> weternal, chances are your video card is not configured properly
[05:48] <arrrghhh> er
[05:48] <weternal> ok
[05:48] <arrrghhh> !medibuntu | Xcerca
[05:49] <bullgard4> Apparently in Gutsy there was an executable program hal-device-manager. What did it replace in Hardy?
[05:49] <weternal> so how do I reconfigure my video card properly?
[05:49] <fasttrack> http://paste.ubuntu.com/39010/
[05:49] <fasttrack> its very silly... but it works
[05:49] <pazsion> word i'm in ubuntu using atirage pro-m and the sound works awesome +D
[05:49] <Reformer81> weternal: First, run 'glxgears' in a terminal.  Does that work?
[05:50] <arrrghhh> weternal, well depends, but probably dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:50] <fasttrack> without this... its a huge pain to install and restart the installer everytime.... the fact that they already use wget and resumes it..is greatly helpful
[05:50] <pazsion> and the touchscrren works this is bad booty
[05:50] <weternal> aarrrhg yes the gears work
[05:50] <favro> Flannel: thnx - bootchart gives a pic of the boot sequence - normally I press e, down, e  at grub to edit the kernel line and add "profile" at the end to reprofile the boot sequence but in hardys' kernels it doesn't work
[05:51] <fasttrack> although  its a clumsy solution.. i just emailed the author to try include something(may be much better).. in thier next releases..
[05:51] <windio00> how do i enter a hex WEP in unbuntu setup?
[05:51] <weternal> this was the response in the terminal from glxgears755 frames in 5.0 seconds = 150.971 FPS
[05:51] <weternal> 683 frames in 5.1 seconds = 133.834 FPS
[05:51] <weternal> 740 frames in 5.1 seconds = 145.027 FPS
[05:51] <weternal> 720 frames in 5.1 seconds = 141.053 FPS
[05:51] <weternal> 680 frames in 5.0 seconds = 135.773 FPS
[05:51] <weternal> 720 frames in 5.1 seconds = 141.162 FPS
[05:51] <FloodBot3> weternal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:52] <weternal> 700 frames in 5.1 seconds = 138.069 FPS
[05:52] <windio00> it says nnnn-nnnn-nn
[05:52] <windio00> but should it be ascii ?
[05:52] <windio00> or hex?
[05:52] <chuy_max> weternal: glxinfo |grep irect
[05:53] <fasttrack> windio00: try like this xxyyzz..etc
[05:53] <fasttrack> without any spaces or "other charatcers". they need no delimitations..
[05:53] <windio00> fasttrack, so like 5c3a4523?
[05:53] <fasttrack> yeah
[05:53] <fasttrack> but
[05:53] <windio00> fasttrack, didnt work
[05:53] <fasttrack> it really depends on the app
[05:54] <fasttrack> the application
[05:54] <fasttrack> normally if its a wireless.. they dont usually ask for hex values
[05:54] <rubydiamond> Hi ppl
[05:54] <windio00> fasttrack, it is the debian alternate installer for ubuntu
[05:54] <fasttrack> oh..
[05:54] <weternal> chuy max it's saying direct rendering: no.  open gl renderer string: mesa glx indirect
[05:54] <favro> Flannel: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8301/ - I've been doing it since dapper...
[05:54] <rubydiamond> how to share folders between virtual box windows and my ubuntu gutsy
[05:54] <fasttrack> may be they ask the hardware address?
[05:55] <fasttrack> windio00: try using ":" as demarcation
[05:55] <fasttrack> u tried that?
[05:55] <fasttrack> like the mac addresses
[05:55] <nagendra2008> Please help me in fixing sound problems
[05:56] <weternal> so what do I do with that information?
[05:56] <sontek> Hey, I want to manage a video library in one x server but have it play the videos in the other x server
[05:56] <Flannel> favro: You might try filing a bug then, they'll either let you know why it was removed, or what it was renamed to, or confirm that it is a bug.
[05:56] <damien> just wondering i just got more ram for my pc . do i need to do anything in ubuntu first before installing my ram ??/
[05:56] <clp> how to search keywords "clean_data" and replace it with "cleaned_data" for all .py files in a directory?
[05:56] <ogzy> at my ubuntu system i have to make swapon /dev/sda2 each time i boot my system, how can i make this permanent, i know i can add it to init.d anyother method?

[05:57] <arrrghhh> damien, nope.  so long as your mobo doesn't argue.
[05:57] <Flannel> ogzy: add it to your fstab
[05:57] <damien> awsome thanks
[05:57] <chuy_max> weternal, you probably want to install ati proprietary driver for direct rendering
[05:57] <damien> i just wasnt sure because im used to windows ,
[05:57] <weternal> ok
[05:57] <damien> cheers for the help catchee
[05:57] <jimdandy> whatsup ! Hey can anyone help me with this? I built netatalk from source with ssl passwords on my ubuntu-desktop machine, but couldn't build it on my ubuntu-server machine.
[05:57] <Flannel> !swap | ogzy
[05:57] <weternal> so would that be in synaptic?
[05:58] <clp> how to search keywords "clean_data" and replace it with "cleaned_data" for all .py files in a directory?
[05:58] <chuy_max> weternal, follow the wiki instructions
[05:58] <Flannel> weternal: restricted drivers manager would be the easiest way
[05:58] <ogzy> Flannel, ok let me check my fstab
[05:58] <chuy_max> !ati > weternal
[05:58] <fasttrack> guys.. am so happy... this ies4linux.. now installed without any attention frm me... i had been pissed with it since last 2 days... as i had to restart manually.. for upteenth time..
[05:58] <clp> Who can help me?
[05:58] <clp> how to search keywords "clean_data" and replace it with "cleaned_data" for all .py files in a directory?
[05:58] <ogzy> Flannel, you are right it is not added
[05:58] <chuy_max> clp, use sed
[05:58] <arrrghhh> clp, there's a "bulk rename" included with thunar.  or you can do it the cli way, which some find more difficult
[05:59] <clp> not to rename file name,while to replace its content
[05:59] <clp> sed, have a try
[05:59] <chuy_max> clp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed
[05:59] <arrrghhh> ah
[06:00] <arrrghhh> yes use sed :P
[06:00] <clp> thanks
[06:00] <bullgard4> Apparently in Gutsy there was an executable program hal-device-manager. What did it replace in Hardy?
[06:01] <joseph_> hello
[06:01] <chuy_max> clp, be aware that you have to redirect output to auxiliary files, if you redirect output of sed to the file you are reading from, you will have undesired behavior
[06:01] <bobertdos> joseph_: Hello, how may we help you?
[06:01] <nagendra2008> could anyone please help fix my sound problems
[06:02] <joseph_> can someone let me know if there is any other way to install ubuntu studio on a pc besides the dvd image, I have tried the .deb packages, but they always seem to freeze some of the apps even with apt-get
[06:02] <nagendra2008> D101GGC MB ALC861 Sound Card
[06:02] <danbhfive> bullgard4: what did it do?
[06:02] <bobertdos> nagendra2008: What seems to be the issue?
[06:02] <nagendra2008> actually the sound is not cleary
[06:02] <lint> does anyone know a good file sharing program that i can use?
[06:02] <bullgard4> danbhfive: Just what the name says.
[06:03] <lwizardl> has anyone here had vista, xp, and ubuntu on the same drive but different partitions?
[06:03] <joseph_> yes
[06:03] <arrrghhh> lwizardl, that sounds silly, but i don't see why not.
[06:03] <sontek> Is there an app that hides gnome panel when idle?  autohide still shows *some* of the toolbar
[06:03] <evild_> hello all
[06:04] <bobertdos> nagendra2008: Are you using Hardy?
[06:04] <bobertdos> !hi | evild_
[06:05] <evild_> ;)
[06:06] <evild_> ubuntu is great, im happy i installed it
[06:06] <bullgard4> Where can I find a manual for hal-device?
[06:06] <arrrghhh> evild_, guten
[06:06] <weternal> I'm still lost
[06:06] <evild_> guten
[06:07] <evild_> :s
[06:07] <weternal> I tried doing the binary driver installation
[06:08] <danbhfive> bullgard4: google
[06:08] <holym0ly> hi, i installed openvz.  now that i've had my share of fun, i want to uninstall it.  how to do so? reason why i want to uninstall is because now i want to go play with Xen =)
[06:08] <arrrghhh> my machine is locking up.  is there anywhere else to check for errors other than /var/log/messages?
[06:08] <bobertdos> !alsa > nagendra2008
[06:09] <Ontolog> In Firefox, if I download a file, then right click on the file in the Downloads window and select "Open container folder", I get a dialog the pops up asking me to associate the file with a program. I thought this should open up Gnome's file explorer to the folder the file was saved in.
[06:09] <Forgott3n`_> quick question chums, if I ran "# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb" and hdb was 20GB... Aprox. how long would it take to complete?
[06:09] <bullgard4> danbhfive: Unfriendly guy.
[06:09] <Forgott3n`_> or how do I check how far along it is?
[06:09] <arrrghhh> Forgott3n`_, depends on your hardware
[06:10] <Forgott3n`_> 2.4GHz Intel Celeron D, 1GB Ram
[06:10] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n`_ i just did that the other day.. using bs=1M it took 800 seconds +/-
[06:10] <Flannel> Forgott3n`_: You might look into shred in the future.
[06:10] <arrrghhh> and you needed to probably put a -v or something for verbose :P Forgott3n`_
[06:10] <Scorp_> NICK Scorp
[06:10] <Forgott3n`_> arrrghhh: dd doesn't have -v
[06:10] <arrrghhh> Forgott3n`_, no verbose switch?
[06:10] <arrrghhh> at all?
[06:10] <zzl> how do i install vmware in kubuntu
[06:10] <Forgott3n`_> nope
[06:11] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n`_ it should take about 800 seconds.. 14 mins or so
[06:11] <Forgott3n`_> I'm in a install DVD and its complaining about a GPT existing
[06:11] <Forgott3n`_> fdisk won't kill it
[06:11] <arrrghhh> zzl, there's a open-source edition in the repo's and closed-source binaries on their website.
[06:11] <Forgott3n`_> I need to completely nuke this drive before I can continue my installation
[06:11] <arrrghhh> zzl, oh sorry i was referring to virtualbox not vmware...
[06:12] <zzl> well, are they the same?
[06:12] <arrrghhh> zzl, yes and no.  they do the same thing, but they are far from "the same"
[06:12] <zzl> which do you prefer?
[06:12] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n`_ you got the right idea.. dd command will work, that's what i ended up doing to two of the drives trying to troubleshoot some installation issue
[06:12] <zzl> and how do you install
[06:12] <arrrghhh> zzl, personnally i use virtualbox.  go to virtualbox.org and download a .deb.  easy peasy.
[06:13] <dougb> is anyone having problems with full screen video with flash videos, and nvidia graphics cards?
[06:13] <Forgott3n`_> Bhavesh: I'm just annoyed that fdisk won't even try to erase a GPT partition table
[06:13] <zzl> i want to run windows inside kubuntu, that is possible right?
[06:13] <arrrghhh> dougb, flash sucks in general, no matter the card.
[06:13] <surger> whats up
[06:13] <dougb> zzl: yes
[06:13] <zzl> using virtualbox
[06:13] <arrrghhh> zzl, yes i do it all the time.
[06:13] <dougb> arrrghhh: so that's a no?
[06:13] <dougb> i mean a yes
[06:13] <Forgott3n`_> this box has no CD-ROM Drive... so I'm using thumbdrives to install :P
[06:14] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n`_ sux.. i had other issues, grub wouldn't install, dmraid woudln't work, it worked on another drive installed from same CD
[06:14] <Forgott3n`_> linux will be the death of me :)
[06:14] <arrrghhh> dougb, yea i have seen choppiness on all sorts of cards/systems.  the windows implementation *seems* to work better, but that doesn't surprise me.  adobe doesn't seem to give a crap about linux.
[06:14] <Dillo_of_Faeo> heh, I just came back from afk, I though "forgott3n" was some new program I'd never heard of
[06:14] <zzl> arrrghhh: so I download the deb package from virtualbox.org, install, and then i install windows in the virtualbox?
[06:14] <zzl> arrrghhh: sorry for bugging you lots
[06:14] <Ayabara> does aticonfig alter other things than xorg.conf?
[06:15] <ajhtiredwolf> zzl,  did you install the oes version already?
[06:15] <arrrghhh> zzl, essentially.  i'd read the documentation on their site, it's very good.
[06:15] <Bhavesh> Dillo_of_Faeo wb ;)
[06:15] <Fredd> any where i could find a driver for lexmark x2580?
[06:15] <dougb> yeah arrrghhh, i was basically checking to see if they've fixed the problem yet
[06:15] <dougb> guess not
[06:15] <kangyul> I have a question, I want to use vlc player to open the address:udp://@[ff18::0101:4]:8000, but it hints that: the firefox was not associated with any applications, I want to know how to deal with this.
[06:16] <arrrghhh> dougb, i keep hoping gnash or something like that (open-source) will get better, but it's sloooow progress.
[06:16] <axisr9> if my laptop runs linux, and is connected to a wireless access point using its built in wireless card.. is it possible to bridge the laptops NETWORK CARD (eth0) with the wireless card so that i can plug in a cat5 cable in my laptops eth0 port and then run it into a router in my bedroom? the router would feed into a desktop machine.
[06:16] <arrrghhh> kangyul, well open the stream with vlc, not firefox...
[06:16] <axisr9> so i just want to be able to bridge the wireless card and the network card in the laptop, running ubuntu linux
[06:16] <ogzy> İ was checking the files of an icon theme and wondering which one is the picture of the gnome startup icon
[06:16] <bullgard4> Where can I find a manual for hal-device?
[06:16] <axisr9> so that the eth0 port will have internet as well
[06:16] <zzl> arrrghhh: one more question,virtualbox almost has the same functionality as wine and can browse the internet in virtualbox as well?
[06:17] <arrrghhh> axisr9, stealing wifi and sharing it with a desktop?  lol
[06:17] <axisr9> no the wireless router is downstairs
[06:17] <arrrghhh> zzl, wine is COMPLETELY different.
[06:17] <axisr9> i cant run a cat5 cable upstairs
[06:17] <chuy_max> axisr9, never tried it with a router, but you can with a desktop directly connected to the laptop
[06:17] <axisr9> so i use my laptop to get online from the bedroom
[06:17] <Bhavesh> axisr9 basically you want to make your laptop to act like a gateway for your desktop
[06:17] <kangyul> arrrghhh: can you tell me how to do? Thanks
[06:17] <axisr9> Bhavesh yea, i run windows xp on the laptop and it works just fine. I go into network connections, and i highlight the wireless and the network card and i right click and click 'BRIDGE'
[06:18] <axisr9> and it works instantly
[06:18] <axisr9> but i want to do that in linux
[06:18] <chuy_max> axisr9, you need a crossed utp5
[06:18] <Forgott3n`> dum de duumm deee
[06:18] <Forgott3n`> dd working away
[06:18] <arrrghhh> kangyul, uh open vlc, click file -> open stream, put in the credentials.
[06:18] <Forgott3n`> I didn't set the bs= to anything
[06:18] <Bhavesh> axisr9 it's not too complicated, listen to chuy_max
[06:18] <Realcoolguy> charging pin on my laptop, completely destroyed and useless :(
[06:18] <Forgott3n`> will that hinder the speed?
[06:19] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n` i don't know what all the options means i just copied command from internet but it did zero out the drive
[06:19] <ogzy> i mean the ubuntu logo that is at the tray that we click and see the menu, i am trying to put another pic instead of that logo, how can i do it?
[06:19] <joeKr> Reminds me of a comedian I heard: "The internet is down at my house. I think my neighbor forgot to pay his cable bill. That's so inconsiderate of him."
[06:19] <chuy_max> lol
[06:19] <Bhavesh> joeKr heheh good one
[06:19] <arrrghhh> so if this box locks up again, what should i check when it reboots?  /var/log/messages had no errors when i checked it after the last lockup.
[06:19] <axisr9> i dont need any cables or anything. i just want it so that the eth0 port will share the wireless internet
[06:19] <axisr9> so if i plug something in the eth0 port
[06:19] <axisr9> it will work like it does in windows
[06:19] <axisr9> i have any/all necessary cables in my room
[06:20] <bazhang> !ics
[06:20] <weternal> oh hey so thanks I got it working
[06:20] <arrrghhh> axisr9, remember linux is not windows, so don't expect it "to work like it does windows"
[06:20] <weternal> compiz
[06:20] <axisr9> arrrghhh i know
[06:20] <Bhavesh> axisr9 normally when you connect 2 ethernet devices , you need a cross over cable
[06:20] <Dillo_of_Faeo> !alsa
[06:20] <Bhavesh> arr i mean NIC
[06:20] <arrrghhh> axisr9, and i was gonna suggest firestarter lol
[06:20] <axisr9> but this isnt two nics
[06:20] <Dillo_of_Faeo> !bring me a cake
[06:20] <Dillo_of_Faeo> aww :(
[06:20] <arrrghhh> lol
[06:20] <Bhavesh> axisr9 well you got on on desktop and one on laptop
[06:21] <joeKr> Any printer wizards about? On Ubuntu 8.04 I've installed a Panasonic KX-P4400 (It recommended an HP LaserJet 2 driver) and when I print, it's busy for 3 seconds, the job shows complete, all looks good, but nothing ever comes out. Printer remains silent. Test pages are the same. Print to PDF file is working. Any Ideas?
[06:21] <bazhang> Dillo_of_Faeo, please /msg ubottu for fun if you wish
[06:21] <axisr9> i just want the wireless card built into the laptop to share the internet with the network card built into the laptop
[06:21] <Bhavesh> axisr9 here's how it would look WirelessAP -> laptop -> desktop
[06:21] <axisr9> ok
[06:22] <Bhavesh> axisr9 so wireless AP -> laptop (wireless) from laptop -> desktop wired connection
[06:22] <arrrghhh> axisr9, you can bridge connections manually with ifconfig i believe
[06:23] <kangyul> arrrghhh: but it is not a file ,it is something like a P2p net tv , if the address begins with mms:..... it can open easily with a click on it, but it begins with udp:... the firefox gave a info that the protocal udp wasn't associated with any applications, I don't know how todo
[06:23] <Ayabara> I've been running bigdesktop with an ati card, but all of a sudden it has stopped working..
[06:23] <axisr9> arrrghhh ok
[06:23] <Ayabara> any idea how I can diagnose this?
[06:23] <zzl> arrrghhh: wait, say i have the xp cd, I can just use it to install on virtualbox, or do I need to turn it into an .iso again/
[06:24] <arrrghhh> kangyul, did you go to open stream?
[06:24] <arrrghhh> zzl, you can just install it on virtualbox OR use iso.  doesn't matter.
[06:24] <zzl> thanks again
[06:24] <zzl> no more questions
[06:25] <kangyul> arrrghhh: I don't know how to, it is a web of our school,  http://vod.nuaa.edu.cn/t/tv.html

[06:26] <Forgott3n`> I think thats two bad drives
[06:26] <Forgott3n`> now

[06:27] <Bhavesh> Forgott3n` that's ok i just done the same thing.. luckily a drive died before i put any important info on it
[06:27] <arrrghhh> axisr9, i've never done it.  i'm not sure how firestarter's implementation does it, but i'd start there.  i KNOW there's a way to do it with ifconfig, but i wouldn't be able to walk u thru that...

[06:41] <Dillo_of_Faeo> ValentineX: what's the problem?
[06:41] <dubby> its probably screen 2
[06:42] <ValentineX> @Dillo i dont know much, how to use scanmodem?
[06:42] <ripps> dubby: I can get xv video playing on the tv, but I only get the upper left corner of the video. Doesn't displayconfig-gtk screw up your xorg.conf?
[06:42] <levander> Is real player available in any of the repositories?
[06:43] <j800r> hey, is there anyway to bring one of the gnome panels back after removing it?
[06:43] <salmon> question, so i know it's lame, but im trying to get myspace im to work through pigeon and it keeps comeing up with an error message telling me my password is incorect. i know the password is right so has anyone else experienced this or know what to do??
[06:43] <dubby> hmm screw it up ? its possible, best thing you could probably do is edit xorg.conf yourself
[06:43] <levander> Is real player available in any of the repositories?
[06:43] <dubby> back it up and try
[06:43] <levander> If someone already answered, I got disconnected and came back.
[06:44] <zzl> can virtualbox be used to emulate pc games?
[06:44] <j800r> salmon, myspace im will only accept certain length passwords. change your password to something shorter and try again
[06:44] <bazhang> levander, you have to get it from their site
[06:45] <bazhang> zzl, no 3d in vbox
[06:45] <zzl> :(
[06:45] <ValentineX> haha
[06:45] <j800r> anyone? :|
[06:45] <levander> zzl: I don't think so because of the way they do virtualization.  virtualbox doesn't access your real graphics card.  I creates a "fake" one (with limited capabilities) and then processes the commands sent to the fake one on the real one.
[06:45] <zzl> oh yeah, and can you save the operating systems you already loaded in VB once before?
[06:46] <zzl> what about VMware?
[06:46] <levander> bazhang: Any idea why it's not in the repositories?  Like at least medibuntu?
[06:46] <zzl> same thing levander?
[06:46] <bazhang> levander, dont know why
[06:46] <levander> zzl: I don't understand the question.
[06:46] <levander> bazhang: Thanks.
[06:46] <zzl> say I mounted xp in Virtualbox right
[06:46] <yao_ziyua1> there isn't any updated packages for 8.04 recently, right?
[06:47] <zzl> I shutdown the pc and loaded VB the next day. is the os i mounted stiill going to be on there for me to load?
[06:47] <bazhang> yao_ziyua1, not the last couple of days no
[06:47] <bazhang> zzl, sure
[06:48] <levander> zzl: I think I know what you're asking.  You can't just "mount" a partition that contains an XP install.  You have to create a special file on your Ubuntu (or host OS) partition.  Virtualbox loads that file as a filesystem and will install Windows (or any OS) on inside that file.  It just looks like a binary file outside VirtualBox.  Inside VirtualBox, it looks like your root drive for that OS.
[06:48] <levander> zzl: You get it?
[06:49] <zzl> ohh I get it
[06:49] <levander> zzl: I think there was a way to run pre-existing Windows installs inside VirtualBox, but it wasn't 100% stable and it was kind of a hack and you had to follow special instructions.
[06:49] <evild_> hmmm
[06:49] <Forgott3n`> alright guys
[06:49] <zzl> alright, thanks levander
[06:49] <levander> zzl: Don't ask so many questions.  Just dive in and try it.
[06:49] <zzl> you were very helpful
[06:49] <Forgott3n`> heres a puzzle
[06:49] <hambone> hello
[06:49] <levander> zzl: Most times, it's easier to learn by getting your hands dirty.
[06:49] <zzl> thanks levander
[06:49] <Forgott3n`> what happens when the GRUB bootloader sits there like a lump?
[06:50] <Forgott3n`> this is exactly what I see: "GRUB _"
[06:50] <Forgott3n`> with _ flashing
[06:50] <levander> zzl: Why not use KVM that's pretty much standard on Ubuntu?
[06:50] <Ububegin> whats the diff between edubuntu and ubuntu... I mean if I install the classroom applications in ubuntu does it become like edubuntu also..
[06:50] <zzl> let me check that out
[06:51] <levander> zzl: Ubuntu's done at least some work (and I think they intend to do more) to integrate KVM into their stuff.  But, an advantage of virtualbox is that it works on multiple host OS's:  Mac, Windows, Solaris, and Linux.
[06:52] <ValentineX> How to format a usb drive in ubuntu?

[06:55] <jimdandy> ValentineX, do you mean for use with other systems (such as windows), or in a Linux format?  How you create it should depend on the size of the stick (in MB/GB).
[06:55] <bozy> fsdfsd
[06:55] <lwizardl> is there a opensource program to make drive images of partitions?
[06:55] <kcman1> i am trying to convert a .bin and .cue into iso format anyone help me?
[06:55] <bazhang> bozy, english please
[06:56] <jimdandy> ValentineX?
[06:56] <Slart> kcman1: use bchunk, I think the command is called that
[06:57] <ValentineX> @jimdandy i want to format for the both system use
[06:57] <kcman1> yeah i have bchunk but i am not sure how to use it
[06:57] <lwizardl> i remember using a dos program called binchuck
[06:57] <smcguinness_> i am attempting to add a OS to grub, but can't get the correct (hd#,#) right
[06:57] <Slart> kcman1: bchunk oldfile.bin oldfile.cue newiso
[06:57] <smcguinness_> im using gparted and it shows 3 partitions
[06:57] <kcman1> Slart really that simple?
[06:58] <jimdandy> ValentineX, do you have any files on it you need? You should back them up before formatting.
[06:58] <Slart> kcman1: really that simple =)
[06:58] <kcman1> Slart do i have to be in the dir to run the command?
[06:58] <kcman1> just spray it on?
[06:58] <Achoth> Hello. I recently tried installing Vista to dual boot with XP & Ubuntu. After the installation I restored GRUB, and can start Vista & Ubuntu. However, when I choose XP, I just get an error message telling me I "can't mount the selected partition". Any ideas?
[06:58] <Slart> kcman1: yes.. you have to be in the folder where the bin and cue is located
[06:59] <smcguinness_> in gparted how do i tell what i need to put in the menu.lst
[06:59] <smcguinness_> i see "/dev/sda1"
[06:59] <smcguinness_> "/dev/sda2"
[06:59] <smcguinness_> and "/dev/sda3"
[06:59] <Slart> kcman1: well.. you could do "bchunk /home/kcman1/awesomefile.bin /home/kcman1/awesomefile.cue awesomeiso".. but it's easier if you're in the right folder
[06:59] <ValentineX> @jimdandy no i dont have any
[06:59] <Achoth> smcguinness_: /dev/sda1" is "(hd0,0)" in grub
[07:00] <Achoth> smcguinness_: /dev/sda2" is "(hd0,1)" in grub and so on
[07:00] <ValentineX> @jimdandy i am ready to format. for fat32 so it canbe used both for linux and windos
[07:00] <kcman1> Slart thanks will try
[07:00] <smcguinness_> Achoth: ok
[07:00] <Forgott3n`> Achoth: I can only assume the location of XP has been changed
[07:00] <smcguinness_> thanks
[07:00] <Forgott3n`> aka  (hd0,0) to (hd0,1)
[07:00] <Forgott3n`> df -h is your friend :)
[07:01] <jimdandy> ValentineX, what size is the drive?
[07:01] <Achoth> Forgott3n`: I've tried all diffrent possibillities, I either boot Vista, boot Ubuntu, get "no such partition" message or "can't mount partition" message
[07:02] <ValentineX> @jimdandy 1GB
[07:02] <kev_> How do i setup a screen session so a user on the box can see what im typing?
[07:02] <LSD|Ninja> kev_: get them to connect to it with the -x parameter
[07:03] <illmortal> Does anyone know the channel to Compiz?
[07:03] <Achoth> Forgott3n`: I can also mount the XP partition in Ubuntu, so it's still intact
[07:03] <jimdandy> ValentineX, insert the usb stick.. Open the terminal. Type 'dmesg -tail'.
[07:03] <kev_> LSD|Ninja, how would i start it on my end? just type 'screen'
[07:03] <kev_> then the user would type, screen +x myusername?
[07:04] <kev_> er -x
[07:04] <ValentineX> @jimdandy anything further after that?
[07:04] <jimdandy> ValentineX, if a "disk" window pops up look in the left panel. You can right-click on the "1G disk" or whatever it is called, then click unmount.
[07:04] <kev_> oh wait
[07:04] <LSD|Ninja> I'm not sure you can connect to screen on PIDs owned by a different user to the one trying to access. It may be possible, I just don't know enough about screen to say yay or nay
[07:05] <jimdandy> If no window pops up, don't worry. In the terminal output, look for a few messages at the end about /dev/sdb or /dev/sda or something similar, recognized as a usb device. Do you see it?
[07:05] <kev_> Cannot open your terminal '/dev/ttyp4' - please check.
[07:06] <ValentineX> @jimdandy and done?
[07:06] <Avinash> hello
[07:06] <lwizardl> ok can someone help me with partitioning this install so I don't lose the space on my other 2 windows installs
[07:06] <jimdandy> ValentineX, no you must find out what the device name of the usb device is, probably "/dev/sda" or "/dev/sdb". Do you see it?
[07:06] <Avinash> can anyone help me with installation
[07:07] <lwizardl> /dev/sda1 is xp, /dev/sda2 is vista
[07:07] <Avinash> of driver for ATI
[07:07] <Avinash> it says i have to install with super user
[07:07] <bozy> test
[07:07] <ValentineX> @jimdany i dont know what is that dev sda :s
[07:08] <racle> Hey, how i get rythmbox thing to panel? (that where i can stop, start and change song)
[07:08] <jimdandy> ValentineX, ok, type "ls /dev/sd*"
[07:09] <Avinash> how do i install was super user
[07:10] <ValentineX> @jimdandy i will type i am not at ubuntu then what will i get after typing that?
[07:10] <Avinash> can anyone helpme
[07:10] <Avinash> i need to install ATIU drivers as super user
[07:11] <jimdandy> ValentineX, you must find out if your drive is eg. /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. That will be homework. If you get this part wrong, the commands I tell you will hose the wrong drive.
hi
[07:12] <ValentineX> @jimdandy when i type ls /dev/sd* will it show that where is my drive?
[07:12] <Avinash> jimdandy can u tell me how to install driver as super user
[07:12] <jimdandy> ValentineX, type "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" to check out the disk. It will tell you the size, among other things. For a 1G drive we're shooting for 1000MB or thereabouts. If it is way off, you've got the wrong disk.
[07:14] <ValentineX> @jimdandy hmm ok thanks i am going to check that all restarting my pc so i can log in to ubuntu. thanks for help
[07:14] <fiber> hello... i just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and i'm trying to make everything as easy as possible for her.  she used to use a WD app to backup her system onto an external and i was wondering if there was an easy app anyone recommends to do the same (with a gui, etc..).. optimally i'd like something that auto-reognises her external and automatically starts the backup
[07:15] <yao_ziyua1> this chan is so hot
[07:15] <JulioNeto> I'm in trouble with F-Spot. In my old computer I had a BIG problem with it, in any moment F-Spot could stop my computer at all, isn't only the X, but ALL. I'm with a new computer now, and with the same problem. How can I fix it?
[07:15] <Avinash> YAO i am new to ubuntu
[07:15] <fiber> JulioNeto: is it hogging all the ram? i could see an image program like that doing so, especially if you have a lot of pictures
[07:16] <Avinash> i am trying to install ATI drivers but it says i have to install as SUper User
[07:16] <Avinash> wat do i do?
[07:16] <fiber> Avinash: sudo is what you need... are you installing with the command line?
[07:17] <Avinash> fiber i am trying to install by running it
[07:17] <Avinash> its a .ren file
[07:17] <Avinash> .run file
[07:17] <fiber> Avinash: also, one letter will make you sound literate (ie: the h in what)
[07:17] <toyo|desk> hello is there like a repo or something that I can enable to get the latest verstions of ati drivers?
[07:17] <john_> cool
[07:17] <Rehan`Away> hi
[07:17] <fiber> ah, well then... go to the directory with that file in terminal and type `sudo sh ./filename` where fileame is the script's name
[07:18] <Rehan`Away> i cant seem to choose the platinum style on kde, can anyone help
[07:18] <fiber> Avinash: the `sudo` will make it so the command is run as root (or super user, same name)
[07:18] <fiber> Avinash: it will ask you for a password, that is your password
[07:18] <Edijus> Ubuntu detects my wirelles, but I still need dial. How to do that?
[07:18] <toyo|desk> because that would most likely be the easiest way to update to the latest drivers
[07:18] <Avinash> thanks fiber
[07:18] <fiber> Avinash: np
[07:18] <toyo|desk> if not I guess I can install them myself
[07:18] <toyo|desk> :/
[07:19] <Avinash> i will try just now and get back toyou
[07:19] <john_> me lag
[07:19] <fiber> toyo|desk: that's probably the best choice... there'll only be .deb packages as fast as people feel like making them, so chances are you won't get nightlies like that or anything bleeding edge... but you can also try turning off stable in your sources.list
[07:19] <Rat409> Edijus: gnomeppp?
[07:20] <ackbahr> Hi! Is there a way to get some kind of virtual desktop (a big desktop in which the screen pans) with gnome? I've got an app that is bigger than my screen.... :(
[07:20] <Rehan> is it wrong to install kde 4 along with kde 3.5
[07:20] <Rat409> Edijus: or wv-dial
[07:20] <toyo|desk> ah fiber thanks...is there a way to only turn off stable in my sources for particular packages or is it all or nothing?
[07:20] <Edijus> Rat409: Is it installed by defoult in ubuntu?
[07:20] <jimdandy> ackbahr, if it is a gnome app, you can hold alt, and click and drag it around with the mouse.
[07:21] <Rat409> not sure doubt it tho
[07:21] <Edijus> Rat409: this how it looks http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/1513/screenshot31xl1.png
[07:21] <floppyears> hi guys
[07:21] <floppyears> what's the best way in ubuntu to upgrade the kernel ?
[07:21] <fiber> toyo|desk: not too sure... i think i saw something like that in synaptic (right click on the package)... but not from the sources.lst
[07:21] <Rehan> so, cant anyone help me
[07:21] <toyo|desk> ah screw it I will just build it...
[07:21] <toyo|desk> :D
[07:21] <toyo|desk> cant possibly be that hard to do
[07:21] <toyo|desk> lol
[07:22] <fiber> toyo|desk: haha, good call! also that way you can use some good old -O3 optimizations and get a few extra precious FPS
[07:22] <chuy_max> floppyears, update-manager actualizes to the latest in the repository
[07:22] <Avinash> Fiber the file is on desktop
[07:22] <floppyears> thanks chuy_max
[07:22] <toyo|desk> fiber, when I ran gentoo I stuck with -Os
[07:22] <chuy_max> floppyears, if you want the newest kernel you might download binaries or compile it
[07:22] <toyo|desk> :D
[07:22] <Avinash> how do i execute it
[07:22] <fiber> Avinash: cd ~/Desktop/
[07:23] <fiber> Avinash: sudo sh ./filename
[07:23] <chuy_max> floppyears, most users don't want/need that
[07:23] <floppyears> chuy_max: what's the latest kernel available for ubuntu ?
[07:24] <ackbahr> Thanks jimdandy!
[07:24] <floppyears> chuy_max: I'm not in front of the computer, only logged in through ssh so I can't use the update manager :(
[07:24] <wols> 2.6.24-21
[07:24] <wols> floppyears: you can use apt-get instead
[07:25] <Avinash> fiber it says cant open file
[07:25] <floppyears> my video card and sound card are not working correctly so that's why I want to try the latest kernel
[07:25] <jimdandy> ackbahr, no problem!
[07:25] <floppyears> so ubuntu doesn't have <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[07:25] <fiber> Avinash: it's normally helpful if you copy/paste errors
[07:25] <wols> sound it can help, video it won't
[07:25] <Avinash> that is what i have done
[07:26] <fiber> Avinash: errr... i mean... STRAIGHT copy... like, literally what you typed and literally what it said to you
[07:26] <Edijus> How to find gnomeppp or wv-dial in ubuntu?
[07:27] <Avinash> oh ok
[07:27] <sysdoc> :)
[07:27] <john_> wah if all chat at 1 time cant see message should put in slow mode 1 message per 30 second :)
[07:27] <fiber> Avinash: anyways, the problem is probably file restrictions.... exceute the command `chmod u+x filename`
[07:27] <wols> Edijus: apt-cache search <term>
[07:27] <Avinash> avinash@avinash-desktop:~$ sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64
[07:27] <Avinash> sh: Can't open ./ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64
[07:27] <Avinash> avinash@avinash-desktop:~$
[07:28] <bozy> o(∩_∩)o...
[07:28] <wols> Avinash: not supported at all. it will break your ubuntu too
[07:28] <wols> Avinash: any special reason you must have this version?
[07:28] <yinepuhotep> Avinash: I've had better luck using the Envy installer from Synaptic.
[07:28] <Avinash> its the driver for my graphics card
[07:29] <lint> can someone explain how to use azureus to search for torrents?
[07:29] <yinepuhotep> lint: Azureus doesn't search.
[07:29] <wols> Avinash: no
[07:29] <yinepuhotep> lint: All it does is manage the torrents once you find them in Firefox.
[07:29] <wols> Avinash: what videocard do you have?
[07:29] <Avinash> ATI X1300
[07:29] <lint> yinepuhotep: oh ok thank you
[07:29] <wols> Avinash: ubuntu ships with a fglrx that works for this card. use that
[07:30] <wols> !fglrx | Avinash
[07:30] <wols> Avinash: NEVER ever use drivers from the manufacturer. it leads to grief
[07:30] <floppyears> what's the best way to compile and install a kernel from source ?
[07:31] <yinepuhotep> I can understand why Avinash would want to, though. I have a Radeon, and the fglrx that ships with Ubuntu does not provide adequate support.
[07:31] <Avinash> wols as you say
[07:31] <wols> floppyears: kernel-package. but a new kernel is not the solution to your problems
[07:31] <yinepuhotep> That's why I used Synaptic to install EnvyNG.
[07:31] <wols> floppyears: not to mention chances are you bork it
[07:31] <zzbeers> wtf
[07:31] <floppyears> wols: what do you think might be the solutions to my problem ?
[07:31] <lint> can someone recommend a good file sharing program for ubuntu?
[07:31] <Avinash> yinepuhtep how do i install it
[07:32] <wols> installing the right drivers and possibly a new alsa
[07:32] <yinepuhotep> EnvyNG is in Synaptic
[07:32] <floppyears> wols: right now I'm running 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 21:01:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[07:32] <zzbeers> what the cow fuck
[07:32] <jpds> !ohmy | zzbeers
[07:33] <yinepuhotep> You might have to activate the restricted repositories, but you can just select it from Synaptic to install it.
[07:33] <bazhang> zzbeers, no cursing
[07:33] <zzbeers> k
[07:34] <Avinash> yinepuhotep should i install envyng-qt

[07:55] <tenlet> i was reading that if you install XP first then ubuntu will load by default
[07:55] <wols> you can always change that if it's so
[07:56] <tenlet> in GRUB?
[07:56] <newbiew> hello, sorry im from xubuntu, but i really need help.. xubuntu room is no one there.. can i ask something?
[07:56] <wols> when you install ubuntu first, XP will overwrite the MBR and only let you boot XP
[07:56] <class_> wols,  whats the syntax?
[07:56] <wols> newbiew: I answered you already
[07:56] <wols> class_: man dpkg
[07:56] <tenlet> ahh ok, so XP first it is then
[07:56] <tenlet> during the XP setup, how much space should I leave for ubuntu?
[07:56] <newbiew> wols.. please go back to xubuntu room
[07:56] <newbiew> i have another questions
[07:56] <newbiew> please

[07:57] <yinepuhotep> tenlet: When I did it on my system, I only left 5GB and I ran out of disk space before I was done installing, so I'd suggest you need a bit more than that.
[07:58] <tenlet> yinepuhotep: thanks
[07:58] <wols> w3rd_: none are. mail is always complicated
[07:58] <tenlet> newbie question: is Xubuntu the GUI of ubuntu?
[07:58] <wols> tenlet: no
[07:58] <newbiew> What are the third party software then.. and why i was able to see open office.. is there another way with the correct repos as you say before? how do i install this repos
[07:58] <w3rd_> well, do you know of one that you felt is pretty easy to work with for the most part?
[07:59] <yinepuhotep> tenlet: Wish I could give you a better answer than that, but all I can say is, give it as much space as you can safely afford.
[07:59] <wols> *ubuntu are all the same distros but each using a different desktop environment. gnome, kde, xfce...
[07:59] <tenlet> well got a 60gb HD to use
[07:59] <john_> ebay 20g hardisk :)
[07:59] <tenlet> probably go with 40 for XP and 20 for ubuntu
[07:59] <yinepuhotep> Good figure to start with, given how much of a hog XP is.
[07:59] <SnickleFritz> wols: fdisk only lists sda and the partitions on it.
[08:00] <w3rd_> my question is if i install a local smtp sever how will i be able to send out to people if not public./
[08:00] <tenlet> yine: you installed XP first right?
[08:00] <newbiew> wols.. ubuntu come with open office and xubuntu does not
[08:00] <class_> wols, thank you , i removed it sucesfuly, do you have any idea how to fix splashy?
[08:00] <newbiew> and is not even in synaptic.. so ubuntu come by default with more repos
[08:01] <newbiew> i need my xubuntu to have ubuntu support. how i do this
[08:01] <yinepuhotep> tenlet: I did. And once I had Ubuntu installed, I edited my Grub config to give me 10 seconds to choose an OS on boot. It's easy enough to do.
[08:01] <john_> me spec is 500mb ram ,pentium 3  500ghz ok ???
[08:01] <ackbahr> Bye, CU all!
[08:01] <wols> newbiew: no. xubuntu comes with the same repos. you just havent activated them
[08:01] <wols> w3rd_: you will need a smarthost
[08:01] <newbiew> can you teach me how or can you give me a guide
[08:01] <newbiew> thanks
[08:01] <tenlet> yine: nice that is what I want also.. can you change the default OS though?
[08:01] <yinepuhotep> john: Should be. I installed my first system in a 333mhz P2.
[08:02] <wols> class_: read the splashy docs how to actually use it
[08:02] <yinepuhotep> tenlet: Yes, you can. Same config file lets you choose which OS to boot by default.
[08:02] <john_> :) its install but a bit laggy
[08:02] <newbiew> wols.. are this the deb. repos?
[08:02] <wols> tenlet: yes. in menu.lst
[08:02] <newbiew> how do i active it
[08:02] <wols> newbiew: yes. but NOT partner
[08:02] <class_> wols, the problem is that is wont install...
[08:02] <w3rd_> wols: any recommendations?
[08:02] <tenlet> ok then.. I have XP installed but have been using it for a bit, a clean format is recommended for this right?
[08:02] <newbiew> ok
[08:02] <newbiew> how do i active it?
[08:02] <wols> class_: it did install
[08:03] <yinepuhotep> tenlet: Depends. Do you have empty space on your drive that XP doesn't already own?
[08:03] <john_> would a 128mb graphic card help
