[08:35] <blackMOORE> which dialed i should use to connect to a ISP ? <> DialUp service <>
[08:36] <blackMOORE> cause my network connection doesnot seems to be working or what do i do ?
[08:37] <HappyFool> blackMOORE: you can try pppconfig if the gnome network setup isn't working
[08:37] <foxiness> blackMOORE, system>administartion>network
[08:37] <blackMOORE> HappyFool but is that GUI Based ?
[08:38] <foxiness> blackMOORE, see if there any Modem device there
[08:38] <blackMOORE> [00:37]  <foxiness> blackMOORE, system>administartion>network <> doesnt work for me .. it dials and without even connecting to my ISP gets Disconnected
[08:38] <m4x> is there an opensource version of a pcAnywhere client available for ununtu?
[08:39] <blackMOORE> there is a modem connected to com port 1 (0 and 1)
[08:39] <HappyFool> m4x: try vnc
[08:39] <HappyFool> m4x: there are clients/servers for windows, afaik
[08:39] <m4x> vnc will connect to a pcanywhere server?
[08:39] <HappyFool> no
[08:39] <HappyFool> well, not as far as i know
[08:39] <HappyFool> but you can install vnc on both sides
[08:39] <m4x> i need to connect to a server running pcanywhere
[08:40] <m4x> from within ubuntu (cause it got rid of windows :)
[08:40] <foxiness> HappyFool, Gppp use w:something:):dail apt-get install gppp
[08:40] <foxiness> sorry to blackMOORE
[08:41] <HappyFool> blackMOORE: if you've gotten your modem dialing, i would guess it's more likely to be incorrect settings than anything else
[08:41] <foxiness> blackMOORE, im dailup and its work for me . hope it will work for u
[08:42] <HappyFool> blackMOORE: pppconfig is not a GUI, but it's fairly simple to use, imo
[08:42] <HappyFool> foxiness: does you system try to dial-up on boot?
[08:42] <misieq> m4x, look here: http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/52601630
[08:42] <foxiness> HappyFool, no
[08:43] <misieq> m4x, it looks like native pcanywhere app does linux now...
[08:43] <blackMOORE> ok HappyFool ill try and come back later
[08:43] <blackMOORE> thanks HappyFool and foxiness
[08:43] <Kpjas> Hi I'm going to take the plunge and install 5.04. Am a bit nervous because I come from a RPM background. I want to keep my /home partition and I wonder what happens when I choose the same account name as the existing one ? Will it be erased ? I wish it wouldn't. If I choose another name I suppose it might be a little tricky to switch to the original one, right ?
[08:43] <HappyFool> foxiness: hrm. i got that when i used the System -> Administration -> Networks setup of the modem. it did work though ;)
[08:44] <Kpjas> *account name* that is
[08:44] <foxiness> blackMOORE, if it disconect after it connect see /etc/ppp/optins there are syn:something: default
[08:44] <UnreA|L> when i try extract rar file ( unrar -x ) me write failed ?
[08:44] <foxiness> blackMOORE, you are wellcome
[08:45] <foxiness> HappyFool, great to hear linux better than on gnome 2.10 than on 2.8
[08:45] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: try unrar-nonfree
[08:45] <UnreA|L> okey
[08:45] <Morphius> I'm having problems with apt-get. Every time I try to install a program it says that it was unable to fetch some archives and that the md5 chekcusm was bad. Anybody have ideas? I have updated apt-get and I am not running off of a mirror.
[08:46] <HappyFool> foxiness: yeah, except for the dial-on-boot thing. i went back to using pppconfig ;)
[08:46] <P0wer1> Any1 here ever set-up multiple WAN connections for load balancing or know of a software solution that can?
[08:46] <jnc> hey um, guys?    how do i create a new xorg.conf the "ubuntu" way
[08:46] <UnreA|L> unrar-nonfree this is command or soft ?
[08:46] <foxiness> HappyFool, dail on booting i remmber that on fc3 ;) on network stuff "redhat-tools :)"
[08:47] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: it's a package you need to install with synaptic or apt-get
[08:47] <foxiness> HappyFool, are u coming from redhat ?
[08:47] <HappyFool> followmash: fc2, i think. I've been on ubuntu for about .. err. 3 months, i think
[08:47] <P0wer1> Any1 here ever set-up multiple WAN connections for load balancing or know of a software solution that can?
[08:47] <UnreA|L> OK
[08:47] <UnreA|L> thanks
[08:48] <HappyFool> Kpjas: i would guess you can change the owner of the files in the 'home' partition after install
[08:48] <UnreA|L> Package unrar-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:48] <UnreA|L> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:48] <UnreA|L> is only available from another source
[08:48] <UnreA|L> E: Package unrar-nonfree has no installation candidate
[08:49] <UnreA|L> i get this error
[08:49] <HappyFool> Kpjas: i doubt it will be plain-sailing -- i think all the 'hidden' .gnome etc. directories might cause unhappiness
[08:49] <foxiness> HappyFool, than am not alone here :) from fc
[08:49] <will_> oh tv-out gives me a headache!
[08:49] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: it's in 'multiverse' -- you need to add that to your apt-get sources
[08:50] <Kpjas> HappyFool: OK I will try to install and stay unharmed and calm as I am now ;-)
[08:51] <HappyFool> Kpjas: backup your home dir if you can ;)
[08:51] <Kpjas> HappyFool: I've already done
[08:51] <asdxx> Hello, I'm trying to mount/read some SCO unixware floppy's, it says that can't mount because i need to specify the filesystem type, do you know what kind of filesystem these floppy's can use? :S
[08:51] <UnreA|L> HappyFool, how i can add this ?
[08:52] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:52] <foxiness> asdxx, maybe man mount will help u
[08:52] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: I'm looking for a page on the wiki
[08:52] <UnreA|L> Okey
[08:52] <Kpjas> HappyFool: I am a bit more careful after Mandrake unexpectedly erased my partitions when it wasn't supposed to
[08:52] <tahorg> YEEAH, I broke it !
[08:52] <tahorg> X is all f***ed
[08:53] <airox> Great.
[08:53] <Kpjas> bye leaving to do the install...
[08:53] <HappyFool> Kpjas: good luck
[08:53] <HappyFool> ;)
[08:53] <matt_de_noob> I have had hoary installed for about a month now and have found is surprisingly easy to get set-up how I like. My problem is that I cannot get the NVIDIA driver to install. I have tried it twice and had to reinstall the OS both times to get back into GNOME. I followed the instructions on ubuntuguide and everything seemed to go ok but when I rebooted only a third of the login screen loaded and the rest was white. Needless
[08:53] <matt_de_noob> to say I could not log on! Is the nvidia driver compatable with Ubuntu? Phew! Long qestion I know!
[08:54] <HappyFool> matt_de_noob: it works here ;)
[08:54] <matt_de_noob> great.
[08:54] <Kartagis> hi
[08:54] <matt_de_noob> not here...
[08:54] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: if you edit /etc/apt/sources.list, you should see commented out lines referring to universe
[08:54] <matt_de_noob> Anyone had the same problem?
[08:54] <Kartagis> I'm having trouble with bind, can you help me?
[08:54] <pablo928> matt_de_noob: what result did you have with the native linux driver?
[08:55] <johnnyb> If you are in an Ubuntu install, and the install screws up, how do you fix it?
[08:55] <kjensen> hi - I have a wierd problem with my display settings. X always starts up in 1600x1200. I have tried to change it in Gnome but after a restart I'm back to 1600x1200. I have also tried to change my xorg.conf but then I get a virtual screen of 1600x1200 :-?
[08:55] <foxiness> airox, after isntalling bluez-utils * Starting Bluetooth services... [ ok ]  /n hcid sdpd lsusb output > Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:0081 Belkin Components ,next please ?
[08:55] <matt_de_noob> It is working fine with the native driver but I just know that the NVIDIA one will be quicker.
[08:55] <johnnyb> Specifically, I'm trying to install a package that the installer seems to have forgotten -- grub
[08:55] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: the lines should look like this: '# deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe'
[08:55] <johnnyb> But I can't find dpkg anywhere
[08:56] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: remove the '#', and add ' multiverse' to the end of the line (there must be a space between 'universe' and 'multiverse')
[08:56] <IFRFLYR> Anyone recommend a good program to mirror a website via ftp; that is, I have a remote server and I want to copy the whole thing, directories and all, automatically.
[08:56] <HappyFool> UnreA|L: then run 'sudo apt-get update' and try again
[08:56] <HappyFool> IFRFLYR: wget ?
[08:56] <airox> IFRFLYR: wget ftpmirror
[08:56] <IFRFLYR> Yeah, that works for the html, but I want the ftp files. . .
[08:56] <MagicHands> hi..I installed hoary yesterday..today, all of a sudden, I can no longer log into gnome. .xsession-errors gives messages like: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xorg-common_determine-startup: line 2: AE07: No such file or directory. I was setting kbd shortcuts and I think somehow this file got messed up...can someone send me their copy of the file?
[08:56] <HappyFool> wget talks ftp, afaik ?
[08:57] <pablo928> matt_de_noob:io had the same problem with ati drivers, so i'm using the native linux driver, i'm not gaming. Still have fairly good 3-d.
[08:57] <IFRFLYR> At least *I* don't know how to use it for ftp and the man pages don't seem to help me!
[08:57] <Kartagis> I use /etc/init.d/bind9 start to start bind, and it immediately dies, and it doesn't log although I told it to log so I can't tell what's going on. any ideas?
[08:57] <int21h> hello good people
[08:57] <IFRFLYR> hi int21h
[08:57] <int21h> I was wondering what the current DVD player of choice is ??
[08:58] <int21h> it seems mplayer is no longer in the Ubuntu universe
[08:58] <foxiness> MagicHands, did u copy or move file from /home old one to new one for ubuntu ?
[08:58] <oseymen> try xine...
[08:58] <HappyFool> IFRFLYR: the man page talks about ftp lots
[08:59] <int21h> oseymen, what happened to MPLayer ?
[08:59] <IFRFLYR> I know. I just can't seem to get it going with the -r command. It copies just the directory I'm in and quits.
[08:59] <HappyFool> IFRFLYR: for instance, the '-m' option for mirroring ftp sites ;)
[08:59] <mirak_> WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
[08:59] <MagicHands> foxiness: "from /home old one to new one for ubuntu" ?? I do not understand you .. :(
[08:59] <mirak_>          configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")

[09:00] <pinPoint> i get this env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg ... when running mrtg
[09:00] <pinPoint> ubuntu server
[09:00] <foxiness> MagicHands, did u replace any file on your home dir ?
[09:00] <oseymen> that is a good question, for which I don't know the answer
[09:00] <MagicHands> foxiness: no. I did not
[09:00] <SilverStr> What sort of damage occurs if I add a Debian tree to the apt.sources list?
[09:00] <rudi1234> how can i get amule pkg for ubuntu?
[09:01] <SilverStr> I need php > 4.3.10, and currently its 4.3.8 in the repo
[09:01] <Kartagis> rudi1234: apt-get install amule
[09:01] <asdxx> foxiness: i just tryed with ufs, etc and nothing... :/
[09:01] <rudi1234> that don# work
[09:02] <rudi1234> Kartagis,  that dont work
[09:02] <oseymen> rudi1234 - what is the output err like?
[09:02] <foxiness> asdxx, im not use sco b4 than i can not help u more
[09:02] <Kartagis> rudi1234: it works, if you are root and you edited /etc/apt/sources.list properly
[09:02] <MagicHands> can someone please send me/paste the first few lines of their /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xord-common_determine-startup file?
[09:03] <int21h> can I use mplayer in Ubuntu ?
[09:03] <rudi1234> oseymen, can't find amule
[09:03] <int21h> specifically Hoary
[09:03] <foxiness> int21h, yes
[09:04] <Kartagis> kabuto@kunduz:~/public_html$ apt-cache search amule
[09:04] <Kartagis> amule - aNOTHER eMule P2P Client
[09:04] <UnreA|L> In multiverse is commercial soft ?
[09:04] <SilverStr> Does Ubuntu have an equiv to Debian's unstable branch? Or is that what universe is?
[09:04] <airox> UnreA|L: Commercial software aren't in the repos I guess ;)
[09:04] <my_haz> i use emuleclc
[09:04] <emanuelez> hello *
[09:04] <my_haz> it works great@!
[09:05] <rudi1234> Kartagis, what can i do
[09:05] <UnreA|L> how extract rar with unrar-nonfree ?
[09:05] <foxiness> MagicHands, ls -a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ , maybe u find backup file
[09:05] <emanuelez> any news about hoary successor? i'm about to get back to ubuntu but i'm kind of a bleeding edge software person :P
[09:06] <oseymen> rudi1234 - I guess you should reconfigure your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:06] <jnc> emanuelez: i'm using breezy on amd64, there is a HUGE  transition taking place to gcc4.x and the new X11
[09:06] <my_haz> foxiness: unrar e FILENAME
[09:06] <jnc> emanuelez: it's not useable currently
[09:06] <jnc> i mean, for GUI
[09:06] <misieq> "/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,quiet,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8) [H100] " - what does the option nosuid, nodev, sync, quiet, uid, gid and umask mean??
[09:06] <rudi1234> oseymen, how can i do that?
[09:06] <emanuelez> jnc: amd64 here too
[09:07] <jnc> emanuelez: openoffice printing is fixed in breezy
[09:07] <int21h> oooh nuther question about mounting an NTFS partition for R/W.... is it possible ?
[09:07] <jnc> well it was, until this transition
[09:07] <jnc> hah.  i'm stuck in console now
[09:07] <MagicHands> foxiness: there is no backup file. I checked that already
[09:07] <MagicHands> foxiness: my 50xorg...and 90xorg files seem to have lost some of their initial content
[09:07] <emanuelez> jnc: i see... well... printing is a pain in the ass with my canon lbp1120 :(
[09:07] <my_haz> int21h: there was some program in knoppix that used native drivers for this but i can't recall the name now
[09:08] <g14> my_haz: Captive NTFS
[09:08] <int21h> my_haz, any idea if it did R & W ?
[09:08] <oseymen> rudi1234 - My sources.list is different, but take a look at here: http://www.maxhosting.org/burnout/blog/2005/02/25/apt-get-ubuntu
[09:08] <my_haz> int21h: what g14 said, yes its as far as i know
[09:08] <rudi1234> oseymen, thnx
[09:09] <int21h> ahhh missed that thanks
[09:09] <g14> int21h: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
[09:09] <my_haz> but if you haven't partitioned yet i would/have made a dos partion inbetween by fbsd and windows partion for transfering
[09:10] <my_haz> this box with ubuntu is single boot though
[09:10] <my_haz> i use ftp to transfer files to the windows box
[09:10] <misieq> anybody knows how can i make my mp3player writeable? i mean after connecting it to usb i can read files and i think i can change their content, but i can't add any file to it.
[09:10] <int21h> g14, thanks much
[09:11] <my_haz> g14: have you tried captive?
[09:11] <g14> int21h: No prob. Try searching the ubuntu forums for captive ntfs. I bet you'll find something
[09:11] <g14> my_haz: I only have windows on 1 box and I don't ever use it
[09:11] <my_haz> OS collector i see ;)
[09:11] <g14> my_haz: Captive NTFS works fine under knoppix though. I've tried it
[09:12] <my_haz> cool i was woundering that
[09:12] <alexander_> Goddamnit!!
[09:12] <misieq> anybody knows how can i make my mp3player writeable? i mean after connecting it to usb i can read files and i think i can change their content, but i can't add any file to it.
[09:12] <my_haz> alexander_: god is not in now may i take a message
[09:12] <g14> alexander_: How about we watch what we say on public IRC channels? thanks
[09:12] <alexander_> I have fixed the nvidia driver shit, I have enabled the nvidia config, but still i cant change my res on my screeen
[09:13] <alexander_> gl4: Im sorry what I said I do not finde as a  profanity :P
[09:13] <jnc> i vote alexander off the island
[09:13] <jnc> he's complaining about nvidia
[09:13] <my_haz> hehe
[09:13] <my_haz> use the project evil
[09:13] <funky> hi
[09:13] <JairunCaloth> Alexander: you need the xconfig program... I just can't remember the command for it
[09:13] <yonil> im having problems with sound in some wmv files -- any ideas? (i remember hearing about this problem sometime)
[09:13] <g14> alexander_: Well other people do and might not help you when you do that
[09:13] <jnc> yonil: ubuntuguide.org
[09:13] <emanuelez> i remember i saw some kind of program allowing to chat to msn, yahoo and so on via irc... i can't remember its name now... any hint?

[09:14] <funky> what repository should i add if Im using hoary and i want to upgrade my firefox 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 ? i have tried two from backports but inst in both
[09:14] <emanuelez> no no... i mean... using my usual irc client...
[09:14] <JairunCaloth> alexander: xorgconfig I think
[09:15] <alexander_> JairunCaloth,  I think iv tried that
[09:15] <Kartagis> I use /etc/init.d/bind9 start to start bind, and it immediately dies, and it doesn't log although I told it to log so I can't tell what's going on. any ideas?
[09:15] <JairunCaloth> alexander I guess you could try editing the xorg config file by hand
[09:15] <alexander_> Or at least xf86cfg because I dont think xorg works..  I'm trying to use netapplet, but no devices are detected... What am I doing wrong? netdaemon is started.
[09:18] <oseymen> rudi1234 - I'm glad
[09:19] <alexander_> Do you mean Sudo?
[09:20] <Flav> sudo sudo
[09:21] <alexander_> Did funraiser leave?
[09:21] <Funraiser> no
[09:21] <liviud> is there any "unstable" tree as in debian's "sid" for ubuntu ?
[09:21] <Funraiser> sudo blabla...
[09:21] <ells> can anyone tell me how to check what ip my router is giving my computer
[09:21] <trondd> ifconfig
[09:21] <Gnobody> Does anybody know what would cause xine apps to segmentation fault?
[09:22] <emanuelez> sudo ifconfig
[09:22] <foxiness> Install these packages without verification [y/N] ?
[09:22] <nico8481> hello
[09:22] <Kartagis> /sbin/ifconfig
[09:22] <ells> thanks guys
[09:22] <foxiness> hi nico8481
[09:22] <emanuelez> lol... 3 answers which are basically the same LOL
[09:23] <_keeM> my internet connection goes down after about 20 - 30 min... somebody know why ? :s
[09:23] <foxiness> _keeM, adsl ?
[09:23] <alexander_> Funraiser: You there?
[09:23] <Gnobody> anybody using Hoary AMD64?
[09:23] <Flav> liviud: good question - my take on it would be no, there's breezy which can be thought of as testing, and hoary can be thought of as stable, but nothing equiv to sid - there's not really a need for such a beast with sid already around, IMHO
[09:23] <Funraiser> alexander_, yes
[09:23] <alexander_> Im in the confg file now
[09:23] <_keeM> foxiness yes
[09:23] <alexander_> Why cant I tab you goddamnit
[09:23] <_keeM> telenor ADSL (norway)
[09:24] <Funraiser> alexander_, no idea, just knew how to get there :-)
[09:24] <Funraiser> lol
[09:24] <nico8481> I have a problem here to burn a CD from nautilus: i right-click on an ISO, select "write to disc", then the software keeps saying "insert blank disc" although I have done so... any idea?
[09:24] <liviud> Flav: aha, then practically why isn't there a "mc" package for example? :P
[09:24] <foxiness> _keeM, i see it on ubuntu-mail-list u can search for the answer
[09:24] <nico8481> i've tried with another blank CD but got the same result
[09:24] <djp> why is it that printing in firefox always misses the last few letters of some words to the right of the page?
[09:24] <misieq> anybody knows how can i make my mp3player writeable? i mean after connecting it to usb i can read files and i think i can change their content, but i can't add any file to it.
[09:25] <_keeM> foxiness what do you mean ? i install linux yesterday and i dont know much about linux :P
[09:26] <Gnobody> anybody using Hoary AMD64?
[09:26] <yaaar> word
[09:26] <Funraiser> misieq, how did u try to add files?
[09:27] <misieq> Funraiser, every way -> drag&drop in konqueror, from console, from console as root...
[09:27] <TrendKill> hello, Im using hoary 64-bit and i would like to know how can i watch xvid and divx movies with Xine?
[09:28] <misieq> Funraiser, it is mounted with these options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,quiet,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8
[09:28] <Gnobody> Xine crashes for me period when I try to playback MP3
[09:28] <Gnobody> and yes I have libmad
[09:28] <Gnobody> and ogg vorbis
[09:28] <TrendKill> gnobody, same here...it crashes all the time
[09:28] <Gnobody> it crashes on ogg vorbis
[09:29] <Gnobody> meh
[09:29] <Flav> liviud: ubuntu isn't supposed to be as all-inclusive as Debian, certainly not sid
[09:29] <jnc> and... we're back
[09:29] <liviud> Flav: at least it seems more bleeding edge here.
[09:30] <Flav> liviud: besides, with Ubuntu's desktop focus, gnome-commander is a better choice IMHO
[09:30] <Flav> liviud: than stable, yes - than sid, not so much :)
[09:30] <Flav> liviud: but, FWIW, mc *is* in ubuntu
[09:30] <Flav> Filename: pool/universe/m/mc/mc_4.6.0-4.6.1-pre1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[09:30] <liviud> Flav: it is in the universe stuff
[09:30] <Gomez> hey all, i have an old lappy (250 mhz, 32mb ram, 6 gb hdd, etc) and i was wanting to install an OS that wouldnt bog it down much like windows. would ubuntu be a good decision for this?
[09:31] <Flav> liviud: yup - what's wrong with universe?
[09:31] <liviud> Flav: I personally have used debian/sid/woody for like 2-3 years
[09:31] <liviud> Flav: then switched to SuSE since the job demanded so.
[09:31] <Flav> liviud: yeah, i was on woody since it's release until last week when i upgraded to hoary :)
[09:31] <liviud> Flav: and now I'm pissed off on SuSE and looking for something better :P
[09:31] <Flav> liviud: i never ran SuSE - what do you dislike about it, out of curiosity?
[09:32] <yonil> im having problems with sound in some wmv files -- any ideas? (i remember hearing about this problem sometime)
[09:32] <liviud> Flav: I can't say i dislike something at all.
[09:32] <liviud> Flav: but it lacks something like the rest of distros non debian based
[09:32] <liviud> Flav: the apt-get && dpkg && huge package trees
[09:32] <liviud> Flav: I'm too god damn old to stay and compile rpm-src's or find dependencies around.
[09:33] <TrendKill> has anyone had problems with bittornado? it keeps redownloading the same chunk over and over
[09:33] <liviud> Flav: if they'd implement something similar in it I'd be more than happy
[09:33] <Flav> liviud: totally agreed - that's why I had switched to Debian from RHL back in the day :)
[09:33] <darkaudit> Flav: I gave up on SuSE last August when they still had broken GNOME 2.6 packages from May, and 2.8 was imminent...
[09:33] <yaaar> so anybody know why my file manager takes 2-3 minutes (not seconds) to open folders, or how i can rectify that situation, or even another filemanager i could use with comparable functionality, or anything? i'm losing it here....
[09:33] <liviud> Flav: I can't run a Distro where it takes more than one hour to get some <random> program installed.
[09:34] <liviud> Flav: which is not in the main tree obviously :)
[09:34] <Flav> liviud: totally agreed - that's a great point
[09:34] <TrendKill> liviud: have you tried slackware?
[09:34] <liviud> Flav: plus that what I like about debian generally
[09:34] <liviud> TrendKill: actually? Yeah.
[09:34] <TrendKill> liviud: liked it?
[09:34] <liviud> Flav: is that you can customize it ( starting with the kernel ) yourself without fucking up several things.
[09:34] <liviud> TrendKill: yeah, until I had to upgrade it.
[09:35] <dataw0lf|w> watch the languages, please.
[09:35] <liviud> TrendKill: then I've switched to Mandrake :P
[09:35] <dataw0lf|w> -s
[09:35] <TrendKill> liviud: thats a downgrade..;)
[09:35] <guupsta> :)
[09:35] <nico8481> is there a "k3b-like" cd writing tool for gnome/gtk ?
[09:35] <liviud> TrendKill: i was in a search for something like I am now :P
[09:35] <Gomez> what would be a good OS for an old laptop (250 mhz, 32 mb of ram, etc)?
[09:36] <TrendKill> liviud: pc-bsd?
[09:36] <Flav> nico8481: checking "apt-cache search burn" i would guess maybe gnomebaker
[09:36] <nico8481> k thx
[09:36] <liviud> TrendKill: freebsd does it fine, but I'm looking something more linux based :P
[09:36] <alexander_> Why can't I lissten to mp3 and install different stuff?
[09:36] <m4x> is there a way to control how the window list panel is sorted?
[09:36] <KinkyLatex> i used to use redhat 6.0
[09:36] <KinkyLatex> on my 133
[09:36] <liviud> I'll probably end up back to debian or freebsd :P
[09:37] <Gnobody> you need libmad for mp3 playback which is in universe alexanger_
[09:37] <alexander_> Gnobody okey
[09:37] <alexander_> And where do I get that?
[09:37] <TrendKill> liviud: well, ubuntu is quite good i find...
[09:37] <nico8481> any idea why the writing software used by nautilus (right-click on an ISO -> write to cd) doesn't work? keeps asking for a blank disc even after I've put one in the drive...
[09:38] <Funraiser> nico8481, i'm using k3b on ubuntu...
[09:38] <g14> nico8481: Have you used any other cd burning software to verify it is just nautilus and not a more general problem?
[09:38] <TrendKill> liviud: for desktop applications and my laptop...im not quite convinced its server-ready...id rather use slack for that
[09:38] <nico8481> g14, not yet... i'm install gnomebaker :)
[09:38] <nico8481> "installing" even
[09:38] <g14> nico8481: Thats what I use. I like gnomebaker
[09:39] <alexander_> Gnobody where do i get that thing i needed?
[09:39] <dos000> i have acommand like " mount -t proc none sforge-000/proc/" how would i put it in /etc/fstab ?
[09:39] <Gnobody> alexander_ : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:39] <Gnobody> and uncomment the universe repository
[09:40] <Gnobody> then sudo apt-get update
[09:40] <Gnobody> then sudo synaptic
[09:40] <Gnobody> and search for libmad
[09:40] <nico8481> maybe i should unmount the disc (nautilus seems to mount it automatically when it pops the "CD/DVD creator" up...
[09:40] <nico8481> )
[09:40] <Tallia1> is there someone that could help me with autofs?!
[09:40] <alexander_> Gnobody ones again please :P?
[09:40] <alexander_> Im in that file now
[09:40] <g14> nico8481: You can't unmount a blank cd, it was never mounted :)
[09:41] <Gnobody> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:41] <Gnobody> then uncomment the universe repository
[09:41] <Gnobody> then sudo apt-get update
[09:41] <Gnobody> then sudo synaptic and search for libmad
[09:41] <nico8481> g14, uuhh.... right ^^;
[09:41] <alexander_> I dont get uncomment, should I errase?
[09:41] <nico8481> ok, trying gnomebaked
[09:42] <Flav> "uncomment" usually means basically: erase the # at the front of the line
[09:42] <alexander_> okey
[09:43] <Funraiser> guys i'm trying to help someone on Ubuntu, he doesn't speak english, right after gdm he has a brown screen, anyone knows what it could be? we already went to  etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and changed line 359 (wrote :wq and tried :q! also) anyone?
[09:43] <Funraiser> brown screen and froze
[09:43] <alexander_> So i should errase the two # infront of repository?
[09:47] <nico8481> damn... why isn't there an "unmount" next to the "eject" feature in the contextual menu of a CD on the desktop grrrr...
[09:47] <zenlunatic> I installed mplayer and its not in my applications menu nor does 'mplayer' on cli work?
[09:47] <nico8481> if i weren't so bad at programming i'd add it :p
[09:48] <alexander_> Can i Pm someone thatll help me what to errase in the source.conf to be able to install that mp3 codec
[09:48] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, how did u install it?
[09:48] <slept> nico8481, what for if you umount you want to eject  in most cases
[09:49] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: apt-get install mplayer-ppc
[09:49] <Funraiser> that's it?
[09:49] <nico8481> slept, well gnomebaker seems to need the source disc to be unmounted in order to do a copy
[09:49] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Yes actually mplayer-powerpc
[09:50] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, oh dunno then
[09:51] <slept> nico8481, you can umount /dev/hd..
[09:51] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: What else can I use to play a dvd?
[09:51] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, xine or vlc
[09:51] <jnc> zenlunatic: videolanclient, mplayer, xine, totem, ...
[09:51] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, i recommend vlc though
[09:52] <chrissturm> what is the problem when xorg says "could not open default font: 'fixed'" on a breezy system?
[09:52] <nico8481> slept, yup that's what i say... :p would be easier with an "unmount" entry in the context menu... no need to open a term and type "umount /dev/..." (yeah i'm increadibly lazy ;p)
[09:52] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Thanks I will try it.
[09:53] <slept> nico8481, you can add an eject button with create launcher -- command : umount ...
[09:54] <nico8481> hehe :) why not ;)
[09:55] <marska> Hello. How can I tell what Wireless networks are available and how do I switch between said networks under Hoary?
[09:55] <alexander_> Someone wanna help me quickie?
[09:56] <slept> just ask
[09:56] <james_> alexander_, sure
[09:56] <henrik_> are there any binary packages for the newest ATI fglrx drivers anywhere? The xorg-driver-fglrx package in breezy only has the 8.8.25 driver, while there is a 8.12.10 out. Any inofficial sources?
[09:57] <marska> The default client shows a "place holder" name for all networks (Io) but I want to be able to switch to a specific network but I'm not sure what its name/settings are.
[09:57] <gregg_> hi
[09:57] <gregg_> is ubuntu going to support reiser4 anytime soon (e.g. next release)?
[09:57] <marska> Gregg_: Use Debian
[09:58] <zenlunatic> marska: iwlist scan
[09:58] <npiv> how come Im getting broken packages when trying to install mplayer ?
[09:58] <darkaudit> woo hoo! Fluxbox 0.9.13 in backports :)
[09:58] <Funraiser> npiv, because u need to add the extra repos first
[09:58] <gregg_> marska, why?
[09:58] <gregg_> I use ubuntu instead of debian for several reason, you know...
[09:59] <zenlunatic> marska: iwconfig eth1 mode managed essid network_to_join (if wep) key 123123
[09:59] <jnc> npiv: mplayer is unsupported
[09:59] <Funraiser> npiv, http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mplayer
[10:00] <marska> Gregg: Ubuntu is like a bad version of Debian
[10:00] <marska> Gregg: Ubuntu is meant to be a user friendly (newbie) package without thrills or too many options.
[10:00] <darkaudit> marska: expand on that, please
[10:00] <marska> Darkaudit: It is my understanding that Ubuntu is made to be as set as possible. It only uses GNOME, comes default with few applications, etc.
[10:00] <marska> As plain as possible, in other words.
[10:01] <gregg_> marska, that's not what ubuntu ought to be in my eyes
[10:01] <marska> But it is what it is.
[10:01] <marska> Its based on Debian, which is only a base.
[10:01] <darkaudit> marska: right out of the box, maybe, but nearly every package available to Debian is available for Ubuntu
[10:01] <jnc> or is it?
[10:01] <marska> Ubuntu is the tower.
[10:01] <jnc> Gentoo is the steeple
[10:01] <marska> Darkaudit: No. And Ubuntu is breaking backwards usage with Debian.
[10:01] <jnc> and if you look inside
[10:02] <gregg_> marska, sure, but it's better than debian in many aspects
[10:02] <jnc> all the little people
[10:02] <slept> I'm missing modconf
[10:02] <marska> Gregg: Its not, but I don't feel like debating it.
[10:02] <lotusleaf> marska, what distro do you use?
[10:02] <darkaudit> marska: No? With Universe enabled I have everything I had with Sid.
[10:02] <Brunellus> hi all.  why is /dev/cdrom not being recognized?
[10:03] <zenlunatic> My video in VLC is choppy (dvd) and has no sound.
[10:03] <gregg_> marska, for example, where to get kde 3.4 and xorg in debian?
[10:03] <directhex> zenlunatic, snap
[10:03] <directhex> zenlunatic, amd64?
[10:03] <gregg_> not counting external reps
[10:03] <zenlunatic> directhex: NOpe powerpc
[10:03] <Brunellus> I've upgraded from warty to hoary, and everything is (mostly) OK
[10:03] <janolap1> Hi there, can anyone help me ? I have a problem with my WG311v2 wifi card...
[10:03] <blake_> how do you change yor password????
[10:03] <marska> Gregg: Apt-get
[10:03] <Brunellus> except that apps that need to use /dev/cdrom to read cd audio files now no longer work
[10:04] <Funraiser>  ubuntu rulezzz
[10:04] <Brunellus> data cds work fine and automount
[10:04] <Brunellus> and, bizarrely, soundjuicer works
[10:04] <gregg_> marska, you could just stop trolling...
[10:04] <marska> Gregg: Ubuntu was build for simple ease of use. Check their philosophy page
[10:04] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, try xine too, see if the sound works there
[10:04] <Brunellus> but gnome-cd doesn't work.  nor does grip.  nor does the cd-player plugin for xmms
[10:04] <marska> Gregg: I'm not trolling. I just said that if you wanted expanded options, use Debian
[10:04] <darkaudit> like what options?
[10:05] <jnc> don't feed the trolls
[10:05] <gregg_> marska, in this case, debian doesn't expand my options
[10:05] <marska> "sigh"
[10:05] <lotusleaf> marska, thanks, have a nice day, now we know. Conversation ended.
[10:05] <blake_> does anyone know
[10:05] <marska> I just said that.
[10:05] <blake_> i need to change it
[10:05] <marska> Didn't wish to start trolling
[10:05] <Brunellus> anybody?
[10:05] <marska> Sorry to the channel
[10:05] <lotusleaf> marska, yup, convo over.
[10:05] <lotusleaf> so anyway, isn't ubuntu great? :)
[10:06] <Funraiser> it is
[10:06] <marska> Yes, it is.
[10:06] <darkaudit> marska: darn... just when I was interested :)
[10:06] <Brunellus> can't anybody tell me why hoary is suddenly not recognizing music cds in /dev/cdrom
[10:06] <spo0nman> Brunellus, look at /etc/groups and see if you have access to cdrom
[10:06] <janolap1> Sorry, but does anyone know how to make a WG311V2 PCI card working with ubuntu ?
[10:06] <marska> How can one confirm that they are connected to a specific wireless network?
[10:06] <spo0nman> Brunellus, can you mount normal cd's?
[10:06] <Flav> marska: i would guess checking iwconfig
[10:06] <Brunellus> yes, I can mount normal data CDs
[10:06] <blake_> plase
[10:06] <jnc> marska: no real easy way yet
[10:06] <Flav> blake_: passwd
[10:06] <Funraiser> ubuntu is good for beginners, then one can do a linux from scratch system later on
[10:07] <jnc> marska: it's on the TODO list for gnome 2.14
[10:07] <blake_> so username passwd and new password
[10:07] <jnc> meanwhile you can use something like apradar
[10:07] <marska> Jnc: Thank you. Iwconfig seems to work fine.
[10:07] <dataw0lf|w> Ubuntu is good for Debian users who are tired of configuring everything for basic desktop operations, but still need consistency between workstations and servers.
[10:07] <Flav> Funraiser: why bother with LFS if Ubuntu does what you need?
[10:07] <blake_> under sudo
[10:07] <lotusleaf> ubuntu is perfect for Linux users old and new who have a life and friends and don't like to talk to shadows on the wall as if they were friends.
[10:07] <spo0nman> Brunellus, hmm, most probably its a permission problem. see /etc/groups and /etc/sudoers and see if you have access to raw cd.
[10:07] <gregg_> lotusleaf, nice statement :)
[10:07] <marska> Lotus: Shadows arn't my friends?
[10:07] <Brunellus> h'm.
[10:08] <Funraiser> Flav, because that way, u really know how to fix thing, when there is a problem
[10:08] <nico8481> g14, yup it seems to work with gnomebaker
[10:08] <jnc> many women say "i love shadows"
[10:08] <Funraiser> things*
[10:08] <jnc> i just happen to be the person they talk about a.k.a. shadows
[10:08] <jnc> :)
[10:08] <gregg_> Funraiser, really? by copy & past'ing instructions?
[10:08] <nico8481> g14, should be a problem with nautilus' burning tool... :-/
[10:08] <Brunellus> spo0nman:  if it were a permissions problem, I should be able to sudo grip and access /dev/cdrom
[10:08] <Brunellus> right?
[10:08] <nico8481> it worked under fedora however... dunno :-/
[10:08] <Envite> Hello all. I _maybe_ have just found a bug in some package dependences.
[10:08] <spo0nman> Brunellus, yes.
[10:09] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Tried xine. Still no sound but choppyness is gone.
[10:09] <Funraiser> gregg_, well u can copy/past and u can try to understand what that means
[10:09] <janolap1> I need help... please help me... I can't make my WG311v2 card working with my DHCP router (without WEP)...
[10:09] <Brunellus> spo0nman:  guess what?  I just did sudo grip and it still won't read the raw cdrom
[10:09] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Is that wireless?
[10:09] <Brunellus> what puzzles me is that only Soundjuicer can do it
[10:09] <gregg_> Funraiser, but you can also copy & paste and don't do it... that's my point
[10:09] <spo0nman> Brunellus, if you cant do that then make sure that /dev/cdrom *is* the real drive.
[10:09] <zenlunatic> My sound works just not when playing dvds. Anyone know why?
[10:10] <Funraiser> gregg_, ok but when I do it, i try to understand what that means
[10:10] <Envite> Can somebody here use the Ubunto Bugzilla?
[10:10] <gregg_> so LFS _may_ give you a better understanding of how everything works, but it doesn't have to
[10:10] <spo0nman> Brunellus, maybe /dev/cdrom is not pointing to the hardware ...
[10:10] <Brunellus> that might be it.
[10:10] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : Yes, It's wireless and is supposed to work like a charm... but It is recongnized but can't connect to my wireless network.
[10:10] <Brunellus> Soundjuicer shows the hardware name:
[10:10] <gregg_> Funraiser, I just think many guys install LFS by simple copy&pasting because its cool and l33t
[10:10] <Brunellus> CD-W58E
[10:10] <zenlunatic> janolap1: iwconfig eth1 mode managed essid network
[10:11] <Brunellus> but everything else I use points to /dev/cdrom
[10:11] <zenlunatic> janolap1: dhclient eth1
[10:11] <Tallia1> hi guys....... i need hard help on autofs........ someone could help me?? andrea.
[10:11] <Brunellus> there isn't anything in soundjuicer that tells me if it's using /dev/cdrom
[10:11] <Funraiser> zenlunatic, i know that this page fixes many sound problems http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly but since you are on ubuntu ppc i don't know if that will work
[10:11] <spo0nman> Brunellus, no, i mean /dev/hdb or hdc or hdd or whatever it really is.
[10:12] <Brunellus> h'm.  weird.  where would I find that?
[10:12] <Brunellus> in fstab?
[10:12] <Tallia1> hmm
[10:12] <spo0nman> Brunellus, ls -lah /dev/cdrom
[10:12] <Brunellus> k
[10:12] <Envite> Can somebody here get the note about the bug?
[10:12] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : I have to write this in a root terminal ?
[10:12] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Yes.
[10:12] <Brunellus> well fiddle dee dee
[10:12] <Envite> Or is there some e-mail I can send it to?
[10:12] <spo0nman> Envite, what bug?
[10:12] <Brunellus> no such file or directory
[10:12] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: My sound works just not on the dvds.
[10:13] <Funraiser> gregg_, I came to linux in part because i wanted to be in control,so LFS is just one more step in that direction
[10:13] <Envite> spo0nmam: package blt version 2.4z-3ubuntu1
[10:13] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Looks like I'll have to dual boot OS X for dvds.
[10:13] <spo0nman> Brunellus, there you go. go to /dev and try to figure out which one is your cdrom.
[10:13] <janolap1> ZenLunatic: if my wifi card is wlan0, should I replace eth1 with wlan0 ?
[10:13] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Its just sad because I'm going on a trip tommorow and need to watch dvds.
[10:13] <gregg_> Funraiser, that's perfectly ok. I guess you don't use an LFS system anymore, though?
[10:13] <spo0nman> Encrypted, whats the bug?
[10:13] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Your wireless card shouldn't be wlan0
[10:13] <Funraiser> well if u don't mind double booting
[10:13] <Brunellus> spo0nman, how on earth do I do that?
[10:13] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Try ifconfig and see whats listed.
[10:13] <Tallia1> hi guys...... i has some truble with autofs........ someone could help me ? andre
[10:14] <Brunellus> i've got an assload of devices here...
[10:14] <Envite> It provides blt-common (no version), depends blt-common (no version) and conflicts blt-common (no version)
[10:14] <Funraiser> gregg_, well not yet, i'm using linux for only like 2 months...
[10:14] <dash> anyone here know stuff about putting multiple partitions on a USB keydrive?
[10:14] <dash> "cfdisk /dev/sda" segfaults here
[10:14] <tanek> have any of you been able to compile a custom kernel?
[10:14] <Envite> Is that natural? my apt cried about that
[10:14] <james_> dash, fdisk
[10:14] <spo0nman> Brunellus, put a damn data cd in and look at /var/log/messages or see the logs of automount to check what hardware it mounts
[10:14] <dash> james: fdisk just hangs :)
[10:14] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : I have 2 cards listed in : eth0 and wlan, but I have only 1 card... the wireless one recongnized as wlan0
[10:14] <Tallia1> hi guys...... i has some truble with autofs........ someone could help me ? andre
[10:14] <catch-> has anyone who's using breezy experienced a problem with fonts after doing an update today? It's stoping x starting
[10:14] <tanek> when i try to extract the source it sais nu such file or directory about every file
[10:14] <spo0nman> Brunellus, it has to be hdb hdd or hdc
[10:15] <dash> Tallia1: that's a very vague question
[10:15] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Well yeah replace eth1 with wlan in that command.
[10:15] <zenlunatic> janolap1: I've just always seen linux network devices listed as eth.
[10:15] <james_> dash, both fdisk and cfdisk crash?
[10:15] <benone> wheres gtk-config on hoary ?
[10:15] <_simple> Linux ubuntu 2.6.10-5-386 #1 Tue Apr 5 12:12:40 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:15] <_simple> what headers do i need ?
[10:15] <zenlunatic> janolap1: I thought wlan was only on bsd.
[10:15] <_simple> the 2.6.10-5-386?
[10:15] <_simple> that's uname -a
[10:15] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Its gay that I have to break the law to watch a dvd on linux.
[10:16] <mjr> benone, libgtk1.2-dev (apt-file is your friend)
[10:16] <spo0nman> Envite, i have a bugzilla account if you post me a bug report i can post it verbetim ... i dont have a clue what you're talking about.
[10:16] <Funraiser> it's gay?
[10:16] <Envite> ok
[10:16] <zenlunatic> Funraiser: Stupid.
[10:16] <mjr> benone, the newer gtks use pkg-config
[10:16] <klaas> does anyone play tuxracer? i'm stuk in level 3
[10:16] <janolap1> Okay, and the keywork "network" in your command is my ssid name (for me "Wifi") ?
[10:16] <Brunellus> ok.  spo0nman:  the device is at /hdc
[10:16] <zenlunatic> janolap1: correct
[10:16] <spo0nman> Brunellus, so ln -s /dev/hdc to /dev/cdrom
[10:16] <Tallia1> dash: ok..... the problem is that in the autofs configuration table
[10:16] <catch-> if anyone doesn't mind helping please let me know
[10:17] <james_> catch-, what's up?
[10:17] <Tallia1> dash: i've inserted the following line.. usb     -fstype=auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=001        :/dev/sda
[10:17] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : So I have to type : iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid Wifi
[10:17] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Indeed.
[10:17] <Tallia1> because the mounting of /dev/sda works fine..
[10:17] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : Then : dhclient wlan0
[10:17] <zenlunatic> janolap1: yes
[10:17] <dash> weird, fdisk works now.
[10:17] <Funraiser> are u insulting gays, that's so redneck-ish , where u from?
[10:17] <janolap1> Cool, I reboot the PC and try your tips.
[10:17] <Tallia1> but when i try to make the autobuild... this error is printed in the syslog
[10:17] <zenlunatic> I thought wlan was only for bsd wireless devices. When did linux start using them?
[10:17] <catch-> james_ I did an update earlyer today and someone else then logged in and out of gnome
[10:18] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : Many thanks...
[10:18] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Does it work?
[10:18] <catch-> james_ it then stoped working, I'm getting errors about fonts
[10:18] <Brunellus> spo0nman:  ta very very VERY muchly
[10:18] <Tallia1> May 18 22:07:40 localhost automount[12192] : >> mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[10:18] <Brunellus> surreal.
[10:18] <james_> catch-, weird, did you finish updating?
[10:18] <Tallia1> dash: have you understand the problem
[10:18] <janolap1> ZenLunatic : I don't know yet, I have to reboot the PC (I am under XP).
[10:18] <Brunellus> the link went pouf when I upgraded from warty
[10:19] <zenlunatic> janolap1: Okay good luck.
[10:19] <catch-> I've tried recreating my xorg conf, incase it is a problem in there, (I did finish updating and did another one just and I had a lot of fonts come down in it)
[10:19] <danko123456> I did my dishes, yay.
[10:19] <zenlunatic> Why doesn't my sound work when playing dvds?
[10:19] <danko123456> :)
[10:19] <catch-> james_ recreating xorg didn't help, I've tried reinstalling xfont-base (typo?)
[10:20] <catch-> I'm not sure what else to try
[10:20] <james_> catch-, did you use a font server? xfs-xtt maybe?
[10:20] <catch-> xfs was installed in the update
[10:20] <Brunellus> at last.  I can use grip again!
[10:20] <catch-> james_ and it's running
[10:21] <james_> catch-, hmm, so what errors are you getting?
[10:21] <_simple> Linux ubuntu 2.6.10-5-386 #1 Tue Apr 5 12:12:40 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux which headers to install with this kernel?
[10:21] <gregg_> I have a strange problem with flash: works fine, but fonts do not display
[10:21] <catch-> Fatal server error:
[10:21] <catch-> could not open default font 'fixed';
[10:21] <catch-> the X server's font paths might be misconfigured, remote font server(s)
[10:21] <catch-> may be unreachable, and/or local fonts may not be installed or are not
[10:21] <catch-> configured correctly.
[10:21] <gregg_> I couldn't find anything about this issue, what fonts does it need?
[10:22] <JairunCaloth> what's the command to install a .deb package?
[10:22] <alexander_> What to type to open a list file
[10:22] <james_> dpkg -i .deb
[10:22] <alexander_> Source.list
[10:23] <james_> catch-, hmmm
[10:23] <catch-> I do have other font related errors above if you want me to paste
[10:23] <_bt> hello. can anyone help me set my screen resolution. i can only select from 640x80.
[10:23] <countzzzz> alexander_, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:23] <_bt> 640x480 sorry
[10:23] <james_> catch-, sure
[10:24] <alexander_> Ty
[10:24] <danko123456> its just a text file, so...
[10:24] <catch-> james_ would it be better to paste in a pm, save cluttering the #?
[10:24] <james_> _bt, what are your horizontal and vertical refresh rates?
[10:24] <countzzzz> JairunCaloth, dpkg i package name (i think)
[10:24] <james_> catch-, yes
[10:24] <_bt> im not sure james_ , im using a laptop
[10:24] <danko123456> -i
[10:24] <james_> _bt, you'll want to set them in your XF86Config-4
[10:24] <james_> or xorgconfig, whichever you use
[10:25] <tritium> please don't use xorgconfig
[10:25] <tritium> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:25] <alexander_> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:25] <alexander_>  is that correct?
[10:25] <countzzzz> alexander_, checking
[10:25] <alexander_> Dident work for me
[10:25] <lotusleaf> is kde-core and kde-base good enough to login to kde in ubuntu or do I need to download kde as well in synaptic?
[10:26] <klaas> hi all, i've got a ti 4200, when i worked in windows i could controll the fan speed
[10:26] <_hp_> what plugins i need to play wmv and mpg files for totem?
[10:26] <klaas> but can you do that on linux too?
[10:26] <Riddell> lotusleaf: kde-core is fine
[10:26] <countzzzz> alexander_, yes sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:26] <lotusleaf> Riddell, thanks again ;)
[10:26] <alexander_> Countzzzz did you eneter the file?
[10:27] <alexander_> Worked now
[10:27] <countzzzz> alexander_, if you don't have that file theres something wrong
[10:27] <Kartagis> I have problems with gstream desyncing audio and video in video files. how to solve this?
[10:27] <eruin> hey lads... do any of you know how to tell grub to make ubuntu boot in non-graphical mode? X is kind of frying my computer atm
[10:27] <alexander_> It worked :D
[10:27] <_bt> james_ my xorg.conf seems okay, it has 800x600 in there, and my correct g.card
[10:28] <_bt> i just dont know how to set the resolution away from 640x480
[10:28] <alexander_> What should i do to be able or auth to everything now?
[10:28] <gregg_> eruin, adjust /etc/inittab
[10:28] <james_> _bt, does it have the horizontal and vertical refresh rates in it?
[10:28] <alexander_> bt I have the same prob but im locked to 1024
[10:28] <tritium> eruin, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[10:28] <james_> _bt, for xfree86, you need to tell it what the horizontal and vertical refresh rates your monitor can support in XF86Config-4
[10:28] <tritium> do _not_ edit inittab
[10:28] <gregg_> eruin, or simply take a look at the fle and supply the init level as an option for the kernel
[10:28] <_bt> no it doesnt, james_ , i honestly dont know what they are to be honest
[10:29] <_bt> cos im running a laptop
[10:29] <alexander_> James you seem to be good, help me as well
[10:29] <gregg_> tritium, well, it would work, wouldn't it?
[10:29] <tritium> no
[10:29] <eruin> I tried appending 3 to the kernel boot line, but to no avail.. X is started and my machine crashes :)
[10:29] <tritium> eruin, debian doesn't use runlevels in that way.  gdm starts in runlevel 2
[10:29] <eruin> oh.. so I need level 1
[10:29] <eruin> thanks :)
[10:29] <tritium> eruin, no, that's single user
[10:30] <alexander_> james, Im locked to 60hz and 1024 what should I do?
[10:30] <james_> _bt, http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~mgeorg/linuxOnLaptop/xorg.conf.html
[10:30] <tritium> eruin, see the URL I gave you.  You want to use update-rc.d
[10:30] <Funraiser> danko123456, well i spent 2 months in canada i remember
[10:30] <danko123456> rather, you are lucky you are not in Canada...
[10:30] <eruin> tritium: I cant get into my system at all
[10:30] <james_> _bt, look at the monitor section
[10:30] <Funraiser> danko123456, where are u in canada?
[10:30] <Kartagis> I have problems with gstream desyncing audio and video in video files. how to solve this?
[10:31] <tritium> eruin, then you will need to boot into single-user mode to fix things up
[10:31] <james_> Kartagis, try using xine?
[10:31] <eruin> tritium: yeah... just append a 1 to the boot line, right? thanks mate
[10:31] <klaas> how the hell can i control my fan speeds on my motherboard :s
[10:31] <_bt> okay i can sort that shit out, but i dont know what values to use, what would u recommend for a tft?
[10:32] <tritium> eruin, or, select one of the recovery modes in grub's menu
[10:32] <james_> _bt, what is the max supported resolution?
[10:32] <ivoks> tritium: greetings
[10:32] <tritium> hi ivoks
[10:32] <gregg_> tritium, because the boot manager sets the runlevel in default config? don't have an ubuntu system here right now
[10:32] <_bt> lets say 1024x768
[10:32] <james_> _bt, hmm try googling your laptop, you should be able to dig it up
[10:33] <tritium> gregg_, no, the reason is that debian/ubuntu don't use runlevels in the way that you're thinking
[10:33] <_bt> okay and if it is 1024x768 what hsync and vsync ranges do u suggest?
[10:33] <tritium> gregg_, see http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[10:33] <james_> _bt, try HorizSyn 30-90, VertRefresh 50-150
[10:34] <alexander_> james: Need that help tooo
[10:34] <alexander_> Where do i edit it?
[10:34] <_hp_> how do i get wmv files to play in ubuntu?
[10:34] <james_> alexander_, for what?
[10:34] <npiv> Hahahaha, IT works, mplayer is up and running, I dont understand linux sometimes, but just to let you know, if your gonna compile mplayer   'killall esd'  and it flies :)
[10:34] <ivoks> i think debian needs something better then update-rc.d :(
[10:34] <alexander_> Im lokked with 1024 and 60hz
[10:34] <james_> _hp_, get the w32codecs
[10:34] <gregg_> tritium, thanks. I'll have a look at it
[10:34] <alexander_> locked
[10:35] <vampir> hi all
[10:35] <Funraiser> _hp_, xine works
[10:35] <james_> alexander_, xorg or xfree86
[10:35] <_bt> james_, http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/7255.htm , i am corrected, its 800x600
[10:35] <tritium> gregg_, sure :)
[10:35] <alexander_> gedit or?
[10:35] <Funraiser> it's the one
[10:35] <gregg_> # Runlevel 1 is single-user.
[10:35] <gregg_> # Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user.
[10:35] <gregg_> well, don't see anything odd about it?
[10:36] <danko123456> hey, vampir...
[10:36] <james_> _bt, try hor: 31-53, vertical 60-85
[10:36] <vampir> hi danko123456
[10:37] <_bt> thank you, i shall report back in a sec
[10:37] <danko123456> so, just sucking blood?
[10:37] <tritium> gregg_, gdm starts up in runlevel 2 (see /etc/rc2.d/), for example, not runlevel 3
[10:37] <vampir> danko123456, basically :)
[10:37] <statickaos> in synaptic i try to search for gdesklets and it shows nothing, is there some repositories i need to add to get more pakages?
[10:37] <danko123456> :)
[10:37] <gregg_> tritium, that's exactly like I was thinking it would work
[10:38] <vampir> watching desperate housewives :P
[10:38] <gregg_> i'd simply change the default runlevel
[10:38] <tritium> gregg_, no, that's exactly why it won't work
[10:39] <klaas> hi all
[10:40] <klaas> i just installed lm-sensors
[10:40] <klaas> how do i start it up?

[10:58] <lotusleaf> abood, I believe there's a tar or deb to download from their ftp
[10:58] <Shadowki1> http://ubuntuguide.org/#findprogramslibrarieslistubuntu
[10:58] <lotusleaf> abood, would probably work better
[10:58] <Shadowki1> There's an instruction about installing Adobe Reader
[10:58] <abood> lotusleaf, can u give me the link to download it , if u dont mind :)
[10:58] <slept> abood, why not xpdf kpdf gv kgv .... ?
[10:58] <moralescas> hi
[10:59] <lotusleaf> abood, sure, but could you wait 5 minutes please? I'm finishing up a download on 56k and have no bandwidth :)
[10:59] <abood> slept, i need a pdf reader that i can do selecting in it for the text to copy it fir example
[10:59] <ben|laptop> hi everyone
[10:59] <ben|laptop> how do I set the language (not kde, but console output) to english?
[10:59] <Shadowki1> http://ubuntuguide.org/#acroread
[10:59] <lotusleaf> abood, I have a direct link to adobe reader latest one for nix I'll give you, from their ftp
[10:59] <Shadowki1> sudo apt-get install acroread
[10:59] <abood> lotusleaf,  thx dude im waiting :)
[11:00] <abood> Shadowki1, wont work dude
[11:00] <Shadowki1> Why not?
[11:00] <Amaranth> i posted a message in the forums saying to to upgrade breezy, some idiot reads the message and does it anyway, his X dies
[11:00] <lotusleaf> abood, 3 minutes.. almost done ;)
[11:00] <eruin> so much hassle, and all that was needed was a simple fresh, default xorg file ;-)
[11:00] <Amaranth> err, not to upgrade
[11:00] <Riddell> ben|laptop: export LANG=C
[11:01] <eruin> Amaranth: tell him to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then
[11:01] <vicks> when i have prelinked my system, can i still upgrade my programs?
[11:01] <eruin> my X died too in todays xorg upgrades ;)
[11:01] <stuNNed> dudes, adobe 7.0 is pretty nice...the reader that is
[11:01] <sbcl3> can someone help me with partitioning?
[11:01] <Amaranth> stuNNed: Dude, stop upgrading.
[11:01] <eruin> stuNNed: yeah, apart from the printing gui :P
[11:01] <Shadowki1> Adobe suckz, it's slow
[11:01] <sbcl3> i installed linux without making a linux-swap partition
[11:01] <sbcl3> and i made it
[11:01] <eruin> adobe aint slow here
[11:02] <stuNNed> Amaranth: dude, roger that.
[11:02] <sbcl3> will effects follow immediately after?
[11:02] <sbcl3> i'm also wonder how I can rename it
[11:02] <sbcl3> (i'm using gparted)
[11:02] <ben|laptop> Riddell: I don't want it just in one console, but globally, forever!
[11:02] <abood> Shadowki1, Adobe excellent :)
[11:02] <Amaranth> why use acroread when you can use evince?
[11:02] <Shadowki1> Strange
[11:02] <abood> i wish that i can run adobe illustrator or photoshop Cs on ubuntu :)
[11:02] <lotusleaf> abood, one sec
[11:02] <Shadowki1> I hate adobe
[11:02] <abood> lotusleaf, im on the line :)
[11:03] <Shadowki1> It was slow and buggy when I had Windows
[11:03] <Amaranth> sbcl3: No, I'm pretty sure you have to tell linux to use it, no idea how though.
[11:03] <abood> noway never it was buggy
[11:03] <Riddell> ben|laptop: dpkg-reconfigure locales   then set the KDE language back to whatever you want to speak
[11:03] <eruin> I love adobe for photoshop and hate them for not supporting linux with it, however understandable
[11:03] <Shadowki1> Of course, it was
[11:03] <sbcl3> amaranth: how do i do it during an ubuntu installation?
[11:03] <abood> i have a long experince with adobe products, they's so good dude :_
[11:03] <sbcl3> amaranth: if i create the swap drive then, will it take effect?
[11:03] <stuNNed> Amaranth: Dude, but adobe 7.0 reader is pretty scchhwweeeettt
[11:03] <Amaranth> just make sure you create it during installation
[11:03] <Shadowki1> It killed my system sometimes
[11:04] <eruin> dpkg -i adobe_photoshop_cs2_gtk2.deb :)
[11:04] <eruin> that'd be the day
[11:04] <ben|laptop> thanks Riddell
[11:04] <Amaranth> eruin: ha, gtk2
[11:04] <Amaranth> they'd use gtk1 or motif or their own widgets
[11:04] <eruin> Amaranth: heh. haven't seen acroreader 7 have you, you hater!
[11:04] <stuNNed> eruin: LOL
[11:04] <abood> eruin, hahahah that would be the party day
[11:04] <vicks> when i have prelinked my system, can i still upgrade my programs?
[11:05] <Amaranth> eruin: it sure doesn't look like gtk2
[11:05] <eruin> Amaranth: most of it is
[11:05] <eruin> and I love them for it
[11:05] <Amaranth> oh, another reason not to use acroread, the call home feature
[11:05] <sbcl3> does linux _need_ a swap partition?
[11:06] <delire> sbcl3: no
[11:06] <Amaranth> sbcl3: depends on how much ram you have
[11:06] <eruin> sbcl3: not really
[11:06] <stuNNed> eruin, abood: there is always Scribus ;)
[11:06] <sbcl3> i've got 512 mb
[11:06] <sbcl3> should i make a 1gig swap drive?
[11:06] <delire> sbcl3: i would
[11:06] <eruin> no, you shouldnt waste more than 512mb
[11:06] <delire> sbcl3: then i do harddisk recording and a bit of video editing.
[11:06] <eruin> it'll probably never get used anyway
[11:06] <lotusleaf> abood, ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0/enu/
[11:07] <lotusleaf> abood, download the tar in there and use that
[11:07] <abood> lotusleaf, thx sweet
[11:07] <lotusleaf> abood, apologies for taking so long to respond with the link, damn 56k ;(
[11:07] <delire> sbcl3: 512 would be plenty for most purposes
[11:07] <_svullo_> i have just install ubuntu, but i belive it is to few packages in apt. Do i need to add any apt-source manuelly?
[11:07] <sbcl3> eruin: once i make the swap drive? do i have to configure anything?
[11:07] <eruin> lotusleaf: acroread7 is in one of the repos
[11:07] <eruin> sbcl3: nope
[11:07] <lotusleaf> eruin, really?
[11:07] <eruin> sbc13 you're doing this through the installer right?
[11:08] <sbcl3> gparted
[11:08] <delire> sbcl3: just install away
[11:08] <sbcl3> no
[11:08] <sbcl3> i've already installed ubuntu
[11:08] <eruin> lotusleaf: multiverse
[11:08] <sbcl3> i'm using the graphical version of "parted"
[11:08] <sbcl3> eruin: will it still take effect?
[11:08] <delire> sbcl3: ahah, check swap is being used with 'top' and if not 'sudo swapon'
[11:08] <Amaranth> _svullo_: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines for universe and multiverse
[11:08] <stuNNed> MOTU!
[11:08] <stuNNed> dudes
[11:08] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu did you? :)
[11:09] <delire> sbcl3: 'sudo swapon -a'
[11:09] <eruin> Amaranth: the acroread7 phonehome feature is in a seperate package called acroread-plugins
[11:09] <Amaranth> is that even legal?
[11:09] <sbcl3> delire: thanks :D
[11:09] <abood> guys, what firewalls r u using, im using firestarter and its boring, i need one more prof, or is there iptables in ubuntu to setup ?
[11:09] <sbcl3> i'm sorry i'm so stupid...i'm relatively new to linux
[11:10] <Shadowki1> sudo apt-get install horny-woman
[11:10] <Amaranth> abood: all those 'firewalls' are just messing with iptables
[11:10] <Shadowki1> :-D
[11:10] <delire> abood: i can reccommend shorewall
[11:10] <eruin> could someone slap people using "r" instead of "are" and "u" instead of "you" ?
[11:10] <delire> sbcl3: aww comeon! have to start somewhere ;)
[11:10] <Shadowki1> Fuck, it doesn't work
[11:10] <eruin> I mean, really, really, really hard
[11:10] <Amaranth> Shadowki1: Watch the language please.
[11:10] <abood> Amaranth, but firestarter sucks always got errors
[11:10] <Shadowki1> Sorry :-D
[11:10] <abood> delire, shorewall is it good ?
[11:10] <Shadowki1> Just kiddin'
[11:10] <_svullo_> Amaranth, thanks :-)
[11:11] <teknoprep> Seveas, yoyo
[11:11] <Ubuntufr944> Does anyone using DI-641+ routeur with a wifi card under hoary ?
[11:11] <delire> abood: excellent. very nice way of setting up policies and defining rules. monitor modes are very sensible and verbose.
[11:11] <lotusleaf> abood, if you have a spare box, toss a floppy distro on there for a firewall ;)
[11:12] <delire> abood: apt-get install shorewall and then for a standalone setup http://www.shorewall.net/standalone.htm
[11:13] <Martsha> hello everyone
[11:13] <goldfish_> hi
[11:13] <slava_> quick bash question: how to do i get string blabla.txt from ~/temp/blabla.txt ? thanks
[11:14] <delire> abood: do you have a two-interface setup?
[11:14] <goldfish_> hmmmmmm
[11:14] <Amaranth> slava_: does it have to be a bash script? :) i do all my scripting with python
[11:14] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: using gentoo and ubuntu both
[11:15] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, bah ;)
[11:15] <Martsha> i'm having a wierd problem with the initial password set during install...
[11:15] <abood> delire, what do u mean by 2 interface setup ?
[11:15] <Martsha> anytime i enter a password, it returns an error and asks for a password again
[11:15] <slava__> its too late to rewrite the script in python
[11:15] <delire> abood: two network interfaces/devices
[11:15] <abood> lotusleaf, "toss a floppy disrto on there for a firewall" ??? whats that mean too :)
[11:15] <Funraiser> Martsha, maybe it's a qwerty azerty error, i had that problem too
[11:16] <Martsha> qwerty azerty?
[11:16] <abood> delire, yes dude
[11:16] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: what's your prob?  it's a free multiverse ;)
[11:16] <Funraiser> Marsha, try to write the password if your keybord was qwerty or azerty
[11:16] <lotusleaf> abood, it means you can have an effective firewall by using a cheap computer with little more than a floppy drive and a floppy based linux distro as your firewall
[11:16] <Kartagis> I have problems with gstream desyncing audio and video in video files. how to solve this?
[11:17] <Funraiser> Martsha, u know what qwerty and azerty is?
[11:17] <Martsha> not a clue :P
[11:17] <delire> abood: ok, see the 'two interface setup' in that case..
[11:18] <Martsha> i get the qwerty part.. standard kb layout.. but you lost me with azerty
[11:18] <delire> abood: http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm
[11:18] <Funraiser> Martsha, ok look at your keybord, the first letters on the top left: is it written qwerty or azerty?
[11:18] <stuNNed> delire: do you use shorewall?
[11:18] <delire> stuNNed: yes
[11:18] <Martsha> qwerty
[11:18] <stuNNed> delire: i've had trouble setting it up to work effectively :\
[11:18] <Funraiser> Martsha, some keybords have azerty layout
[11:18] <Funraiser> mine
[11:19] <Martsha> ahh well this doesn't
[11:19] <factorx> can someone tell me how this amarok song suggestion feature works?
[11:19] <Funraiser> i know
[11:19] <abood> lotusleaf, yes there are many for  that :) but it took much space and cost too much
[11:19] <delire> stuNNed: just have to follow the instructions for a debian based system precisely
[11:19] <Funraiser> Martsha, but when u set your password maybe the system thought u did
[11:19] <lotusleaf> abood, oh
[11:19] <stuNNed> delire: where are those instructions on their site?
[11:19] <abood> lotusleaf,  u can use it for office or company not for a 2 pc's :)
[11:20] <Martsha> funraiser, it accepted a root password fine, but it wouldn't create a normal user by the looks of it
[11:20] <delire> stuNNed: http://www.shorewall.net/standalone.htm for a firewall for a standalone box
[11:20] <Funraiser> Martsha, i still have that problem and i have to type a weird password when i login but not with synaptic
[11:20] <stuNNed> delire: k thnx i'll try again i guess :\
[11:20] <delire> stuNNed: worth it ;)
[11:21] <Funraiser> Martsha, oh ok maybe it's another problem then
[11:21] <stuNNed> delire: k thnx, i always have trouble setting up the NFS ports though :\
[11:22] <rgould> Can anyone recommend an FTP client that has queuing?
[11:22] <lotusleaf> rgould, wget? :)
[11:22] <Martsha> funraiser, must be.. i'm just going to stick with the root account for now until i can find and correct the prob,, thanks for the help though!
[11:22] <abood> guys, i mounted 2 windows partions to my linux the first one goes well but the seconed gives me that there r no /dev/hda1 or its busy
[11:22] <lotusleaf> rgould, just enter the file into a text file, and call it with wget
[11:22] <abood> whats the proplem with it
[11:22] <abood> ?
[11:22] <rgould> Never used it actually. I shall check it out
[11:23] <lotusleaf> rgould, man wget
[11:23] <rgould> thanks
[11:23] <lotusleaf> rgould, also gwget is a gui for wget
[11:23] <lotusleaf> yw
[11:23] <osity> anyone know how to get software raid 1 going that can guide me?
[11:23] <stuNNed> wget roxors dudes
[11:24] <Razor-X> hmmm, I have a question
[11:24] <Razor-X> I have four USB devices plugged in
[11:25] <delire> abood: 'fdisk -l' is /dev/hda1 not the current root partition?
[11:25] <Razor-X> a Printer, a Scanner, and a trackball at startup
[11:25] <sbcl3> i typed 'top' into the console, and for swap i get these readings: "0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 119268 cached'
[11:25] <marios> I am creating a Ubuntu support page
[11:25] <sbcl3> i think something is wrong here
[11:25] <thingfish> I love stinky cheeses.
[11:25] <Razor-X> and, i've just plugged in a MP3 player that uses FAT and is connected via USB
[11:25] <marios> is anyone interested in helping me out? :)
[11:25] <sbcl3> can someone tell me how to activate the swap?
[11:25] <Razor-X> what command should I use in mounting it?
[11:25] <delire> sbcl3: try 'swapon -a'
[11:26] <Razor-X> or should I try hotplug?
[11:26] <delire> sbcl3: you're right, it's not active
[11:26] <sbcl3> delire: alright, done. when will i see an effect?
[11:26] <delire> sbcl3: try top again
[11:26] <Philip> I have a hardware question that I have no other place to ask. I just put a computer together... and i have a problem, when turn on the power supply... the processor, and fans start going on without pressing the power button, what would cause this?
[11:26] <stuNNed> Funraiser: lol ;)
[11:26] <Razor-X> nevermind....
[11:26] <abood> delire, shorewall it seems hard to config :)
[11:27] <sbcl3> delire: i get the same reading
[11:27] <stuNNed> abood: you too?
[11:27] <lotusleaf> abood, try guarddog :)
[11:27] <delire> abood: hmm i didn't find it so bad at all.
[11:27] <sbcl3> delire: when i go to information about my linux-swap, it says its "not active" (this is in gparted)
[11:27] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: guarddog is easier?  is it text based?
[11:27] <sbcl3> does parted allow activation of the linux-swap drive?
[11:28] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: like lokkit or something
[11:28] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, for that particular user who had issues with firestarter, I recommend guarddog, it's a gui.
[11:28] <zkruw> why is the linux version of skype so out of date if you compare to the windows version?
[11:28] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: k thnx
[11:28] <lotusleaf> zkruw, they progress in development differently.
[11:28] <delire> sbcl3: it doesn't need to be activated. reboot after any partition changes.
[11:28] <lotusleaf> zkruw, see the skype forums, the linux subsection
[11:28] <delire> sbcl3: then see if it's up
[11:28] <zkruw> different development teams :)
[11:29] <sbcl3> delire: okay...
[11:29] <zkruw> you get bad sound to?
[11:29] <marios> OK, does anybody want's to join ubuntu support page (unofficial)?
[11:30] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: guarddog is gtk2 based?
[11:30] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, google 'guarddog linux' dude you're on broadband, I'm on 56k. :)
[11:30] <xmaximex> Hi, I'm currently on ubuntu liveCD, and I want to transfer my system from hda to hdb. All partition on hdb are ok, hda1 and hdb1 are mounter under /mnt/old and /mnt/new. If I use cp /mnt/old/* /mnt/new/ is it ok ?
[11:31] <Funraiser> marios, to join?
[11:31] <marios> yes
[11:31] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: sheesh just asked, don't have a pony
[11:31] <marios> help answer the questions,
[11:31] <marios> and help in my ubuntu projects
[11:32] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, lol you know better ;P
[11:32] <Funraiser> it's a forum or an IRC channel?
[11:32] <Philip> If I don't plug in my power plugs into the motherboard will the computer turn on by the switch on the power supply
[11:32] <marios> no, support will be something like: http://support.mozsource.com/
[11:33] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: you can just say 'i don't know'  or can you not admit that?
[11:33] <stuNNed> LOL
[11:33] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: :P
[11:33] <Philip> power switch plugs*
[11:33] <lotusleaf> stuNNed, keep the banter in the usual #creative spot, dude. ;)
[11:33] <topyli> fight! fight!
[11:34] <sbcl3> delire: it didn't work
[11:34] <stuNNed> lotusleaf: what is banter?  *i don't know*
[11:34] <delire> xmaximex: 'cp -r /origin /destination'
[11:34] <abood> delire, man i installed the tar.gz adobe but i cant find the excutable file to run ?!?!
[11:34] <sbcl3> swap is /etc/sda2
[11:34] <sbcl3> is something wrong?
[11:34] <delire> abood: eh?
[11:34] <abood> delire, i wen to the root folder but i didnt find the file
[11:35] <delire> sbcl3: hehe scsi disk.. though may not matter too much ;)
[11:35] <sbcl3> delire: are you sure its 'swapon -a' that does it?
[11:35] <delire> abood: think you've mistaken a conversation with someone else. i know nothing of acroread
[11:36] <delire> sbcl3: i swapoff -a ; swapon -a from time to time yes.
[11:36] <dbasetrinity> hello i have a question for you all...im trying to install flash and a few other things but i can find amd64 sources for them
[11:36] <abood> delire, lol yes sorry :)
[11:36] <sbcl3> delire: what if the device isn't listed in /etc/fstab?
[11:36] <abood> and alread i runned it
[11:36] <dbasetrinity> is there a sourced for flash for amd64 out there
[11:37] <sbcl3> delire: it isn't listed in /etc/fstab
[11:37] <delire> sbcl3: that will be an issue. i have /dev/hda2       none            swap    sw              0       0
[11:37] <sbcl3> i have nothing like that in here
[11:37] <abood> damn acrobat reader its working fine :D
[11:38] <Funraiser> yep
[11:38] <delire> sbcl3: 'fdisk -l | grep swap'
[11:38] <delire> sbcl3: that will list any known swap partitions
[11:38] <sbcl3> delire: where will it list them?
[11:38] <sbcl3> (it didn't list anything)
[11:38] <ztonzy> delire, almost forgot you ;)
[11:39] <delire> sbcl3: ok a problem.. try you have no known swap partitions then.
[11:39] <delire> sbcl3: 'mount -a'
[11:39] <delire> sbcl3: that will mount everything in /etc/fstab
[11:39] <sbcl3> okay
[11:39] <delire> ztonzy: ;)
[11:40] <cyphase> Does anyone know of a list of big companies that use open source software? I'm trying to get someone to switch a school to open source, and they want proof.
[11:40] <cyphase> lol
[11:40] <delire> sbcl3: but if you don't have the entry.. what partitioning tool did you use?
[11:40] <sbcl3> delire: i think i need to log on as root
[11:40] <ztonzy> delire, :) all okej ?
[11:40] <sbcl3> wait...i was on root
[11:40] <segfault> hi all. anyone can help with beagle and breezy?
[11:40] <delire> cyphase: a very big list!
[11:40] <thingfish> cyphase: have them contact the city of Munich.
[11:40] <sbcl3> i might have to be on root completely though
[11:40] <cyphase> lol
[11:40] <sbcl3> delire: "gparted"
[11:40] <cyphase> thingfish, yes, i already have that
[11:40] <delire> ztonzy: v busy busy
[11:40] <Rubin> anyone from utexas here?
[11:41] <sbcl3> delire: i'm going to try logging in as root
[11:41] <ztonzy> delire, good good...I got vacation myself :)  went to IKEA today
[11:41] <ztonzy> delire, been thinking to go to Copenhagen before it ends
[11:41] <Edu> Hi
[11:42] <delire> cyphase: there are lists around. hmm check here for FOSS educational software itself http://richtech.ca/seul/
[11:42] <slept> cyphase, microsoft servers
[11:42] <slept> :)
[11:42] <lotusleaf> ztonzy, Copenhagen is a very nice dip tobacco brand. ;)
[11:42] <cyphase> lol
[11:42] <delire> ztonzy: ahah, well look me up!
[11:42] <cyphase> slept, you mean netcraft?
[11:42] <ztonzy> delire, weeeell...how where :D ?
[11:42] <sbcl3> delire: do i have to mount the swap drive somewhere?
[11:42] <delire> cyphase: what FOSS do you want them to run?
[11:42] <ztonzy> lotusleaf, is ?  heh...it is also a Capitol !
[11:43] <delire> sbcl3: you need to find out what your swap partition is first ;)
[11:43] <cyphase> delire, Firefox and OpenOffice at first
[11:43] <cyphase> that would be a good start
[11:43] <cyphase> but they have something against open source in general
[11:43] <ztonzy> lotusleaf, tobacco isnt something that comes to my mind when thinking of Copenhagen ;)
[11:43] <sbcl3> delire: its /dev/sda2....
[11:43] <ztonzy> delire, how to find you? Yellow pages? :P
[11:44] <delire> abood: don't msg me :! /dev/hda1 isn't your current active linux partition?
[11:44] <lotusleaf> ztonzy, pity ;)
[11:44] <ztonzy> lotusleaf, dislike it
[11:44] <ztonzy> :) tobacco
[11:44] <glenn> hi folks
[11:44] <lotusleaf> ztonzy, it's delicious
[11:45] <ztonzy> lotusleaf, I like chocolate instead and coffee :)
[11:45] <lotusleaf> ztonzy, my limbs dance freely like a wiggling pile of worms when I have tobacco
[11:45] <delire> ztonzy: look me up at the itu.dk is best. or better mail me a couple of days before you arrive.
[11:45] <ztonzy> delire, that would might be now then!
[11:45] <delire> lotusleaf: that's The Plague AFAIK
[11:45] <ztonzy> delire, been thinking of going friday before lunch
[11:46] <lotusleaf> delire, so is car exhaust but people gladly inhale it every day
[11:46] <abood> delire, /dev/hda1 the windows partion, and /dev/hda7 the linux one
[11:46] <ztonzy> delire, already found you ;)
[11:46] <WldRbit> Do I need to do something special to be able to write an audio cd?
[11:47] <lotusleaf> WldRbit, a cdrom drive
[11:47] <WldRbit> lotusleaf, todo something, not just something
[11:47] <sbcl3> delire: i'm logged on as root
[11:47] <nmorse> No, but I reccomend K3B for it, WIdRbit
[11:47] <WldRbit> what program comes with ubuntu ?
[11:47] <nmorse> Install K3B
[11:47] <lotusleaf> WldRbit, sorry, a cdrom burner.
[11:47] <WldRbit> nmorse, it says that the cdrom is locked
[11:47] <sbcl3> delire: how do i verify with some other program other than parted that i have a linux-swap partition made?
[11:47] <cardador> WldRbit: try graveman or gnomebaker
[11:48] <nmorse> Hmmm. Maybe the permissions on the device are screwed up?
[11:48] <delire> abood: type 'mount' what is the mountpoint for /dev/hda1?
[11:48] <WldRbit> nmorse, that's what crossed my mind
[11:49] <slept> sbcl3, cfdisk - you can swapon /dev/hd..
[11:49] <delire> sbcl3: fdisk -l is as close as it gets
[11:49] <delire> slept: or just swapon -a
[11:49] <stevenj> Can someone tell me what to do.  (hoary) Totem gstreamer (W32 COdecs) -- does'nt work in Firefox (I kow totem-xine will with mozplugger) - has anyone tried a backport or brezzy totem gstreamer?  Thanks
[11:49] <nmorse> WldRbit: do a chmod 660 or 666 on /dev/hd*
[11:49] <sbcl3> delire: what about sda?
[11:49] <nmorse> If it's an ide device
[11:50] <delire> sbcl3: no idea how you did that!
[11:50] <sbcl3> delire: here's what i get from that
[11:50] <sbcl3> "/dev/sda2            2433        2559     1020127+  83  Linux
[11:50] <sbcl3> "
[11:50] <sbcl3> it thinks its regular linux, apparently
[11:50] <stevenj> I can not do my calculas homework without .ram stream
[11:51] <sidjp> please help me! i cant record cd in my computer wich k3b
[11:51] <sbcl3> delire: how do i make a swap partition through fdisk?
[11:51] <sbcl3> (or reformat /dev/sda2
[11:51] <sbcl3> )
[11:51] <topyli> stevenj: now you got me insterested in totem/mozplugger. :) got a link on how to do it?
[11:51] <Guim_> anyone could give a good texte editor that : exists to run under windows AND ubuntu, can read and save UTF8 ? thanks for any help !
[11:51] <tanek> sbcl3: if you can, try qtparted
[11:51] <martini> hey, anyone know how well d-link wireless pcmcia cards and ubuntu play together?
[11:51] <sbcl3> alright
[11:52] <delire> sbcl3: sorry, it's too late here for me to get involved with this. i'd use cfdisk myself, i just use fdisk -l to list known partitions.
[11:52] <stevenj> topyli, yes and it works! however I find it a dirty method and I like gstreamer :)
[11:52] <topyli> gstreamer would be ideal of course
[11:52] <sbcl3> tanek: does qtparted have a graphical interface?
[11:52] <stevenj> topyli, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17727    --- I tested it--it works
[11:52] <sidjp> the program says error device unlocking drive
[11:52] <delire> ztonzy: night, mail me before you arrive. a bit of notice is good. i'm teaching all day.
[11:52] <topyli> thanks stevenj
[11:53] <stevenj> np
[11:53] <tanek> sbcl3: yep, its much like partitionmagic
[11:53] <sidjp> could not unlock cd drive
[11:53] <ztonzy> delire, sure !
[11:53] <slept> Guim_, cygwin to use linux(gnu) under win
[11:53] <delire> to the rest, fame and riches.
[11:53] <abood> delire, /dev/hda1 on /media/C: type ntfs (rw,umask=0222), sorry for lating
[11:53] <compmanio36> hey all, my hard drive crashed, and I have to rebuild, so I figured I would just install Ubuntu, but I am wondering if I could still run some of my games under Linux, and if so, which would be better, Wine or Cedega
[11:53] <sbcl3> tanek: can it make a linux swap partition?
[11:53] <sbcl3> hopefully better than gparted can
[11:54] <sbcl3> tanek: how do i run qparted?
[11:54] <sbcl3> *qtparted
[11:54] <sbcl3> ah
[11:54] <sbcl3> got it working
[11:54] <lotusleaf> compmanio36, native linux games like enemy territory
[11:54] <Guim_> ths slept,
[11:54] <tanek> sbcl3: sudo apt-get install qtparted then run it, start command is qtparted i think. its an easy GUI, you'll see how to use it
[11:54] <tanek> going to bed now, good luck
[11:55] <Guim_> this is probably not the easiest solution ... :)
[11:55] <lotusleaf> compmanio36, otherwise try asking for opinions in #winehq or #cedega
[11:55] <Guim_> there is no open source project of a simple editor like this?
[11:55] <CrazyNorman> If i'm using a laptop, how do I enable both a Com mouse and a Touch pad (and switch between them automatically)?
[11:55] <sbcl3> tanek: it just crashed :/
[11:56] <slept> sbcl3, your swap shoule be ok sda is sata , just swapon /dev/sda2
[11:56] <sbcl3> okay
[11:56] <sbcl3> i'll try that
[11:56] <tanek> sbcl3: are you running it as root? running a livecd?
[11:56] <sbcl3> thanks
[11:56] <tanek> it wont work from a live cd, as i painfully experienced last week
[11:56] <slept> sbcl3, to verify if it worked cat /proc/swaps
[11:56] <sbcle_> YES! swap working!
[11:56] <sbcle_> thanks everyone
[11:56] <slept> sbcl3, now add it to fstab
[11:57] <sbcle_> how can i do that easily, slept?
[11:57] <Cine> Registry is not present or it is corrupted, please update it by running gst-register   <---- anyone know what in the hell that means?
[11:58] <sbcle_> another question:why does it say 0k is used?
[11:58] <Cine> I'm trying to run the volume control
[11:58] <slept> sbcl3, just add  /dev/sda2       none            swap    sw              0       0
[11:59] <sbcle_> slept: i'll go log in as root now
