[03:31] <House_> how do i check if php is running?
[03:31] <House_> i assume its not
[03:31] <deltab> House_: the server config needs to be changed to do that
[03:31] <wookienz> is there any other graphic dirvers to make my screen appear a bit more clearer?
[03:31] <Warbo> House_: ps -ax ?
[03:31] <wubrgamer> i just want to know how to SSH into another account on another linux account, paul is on BOTH machines, i'm trying to login under account forestpakr

[03:34] <dibblego> wubrgamer, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the host machine
[03:34] <FurryNemesis> is the GCC compiler in the repos broken or am I not doing something right?
[03:35] <wubrgamer> u can ssh into my NORMAL account
[03:35] <dougsko> wubrgamer: can you log into <IP_ADDRESS> using forestpark as the username and whatever you have as a passwd?
[03:35] <wubrgamer> no
[03:35] <House_> is php5 the latest version?
[03:35] <Warbo> Would running Edgy's deskbar-applet in Dapper cause any major issues?
[03:35] <dougsko> wubrgamer: log in locally i mean
[03:35] <wubrgamer> i can ssh in under my normal username
[03:35] <dibblego> wubrgamer, then almost certainly a sshd_config issue
[03:35] <wubrgamer> yes i can
[03:35] <dougsko> wubrgamer: yeah its gotta be something in your config
[03:35] <dougsko> although i dont know what it could be

[03:57] <door> a|i3N: do you have access to a terminal

[03:57] <BHSPitMonkey> or use file-roller instead

[03:57] <TLE> UbuntuBantu: Sleep time, I'll contact you through the forum
[03:57] <door> a|i3N: you don't need to be root to unzip something, generally
[03:57] <a|i3N> because the directory I was trying to extract to said I had to use root, so I did sudo ark (file)
[03:57] <door> a|i3N: aha. now, instead, try sudo unzip $file
[03:58] <a|i3N> lol. ok. Is there a quick way to gix ark though?
[03:58] <door> a|i3N: i'm not familiar with that program...
[03:58] <BHSPitMonkey> a|i3N, do you use kubuntu?
[03:58] <a|i3N> yes
[03:58] <BHSPitMonkey> a|i3N, then you should probably ask those questions in #kubuntu
[03:58] <a|i3N> zip unzipped it... how do I copy a file in the terminal?
[03:59] <BHSPitMonkey> this channel is more oriented toward the gnome-based ubuntu

[04:04] <tjb891> does anyone know how to stop a command from executing, example when i use tracepatha and it gets to the end it starts lising no replay in a infinite loop?
[04:04] <door> witless: swiftfox light-ish
[04:04] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, if going to root makes it work, that means it's a permissions problem, which shouldn't happen, but it does sometimes
[04:04] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, what's the output of ls -l /dev/dsp?
[04:05] <empc> tjb891, ctrl-c
[04:05] <tjb891> ok thx
[04:05] <witless> swiftfox?  never heard of it  :-)
[04:05] <door> witless: it's basically a mod'ded firefox
[04:05] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, what's the site for posting such a monstrous paste? :)
[04:05] <witless> in the repositories?
[04:05] <Luakagon> crw-rw----  1 root audio 14, 3 2006-08-25 21:58 /dev/dsp
[04:05] <Luakagon> nevermind :P
[04:06] <door> witless: witless: http://getswiftfox.com/ubuntu.htm
[04:06] <KrakensDen> :P
[04:06] <KrakensDen> hmm
[04:06] <witless> thanks a lot
[04:06] <grigora> anyone knows how to get rhythmbox to talk to ipod?
[04:06] <KrakensDen> that looks correct
[04:06] <door> witless: some normally text-based browsers have graphical versions as well...
[04:06] <imago> what is the command to umount somethin
[04:07] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, what's the output of  cat /etc/group |grep audio ?
[04:07] <door> imago: sudo umount /path/to/mount/point
[04:07] <imago> dorr, thx
[04:07] <door> imago: np
[04:07] <eigenlambda> lol whats swiftfox?
[04:08] <KrakensDen> eigenlambda, an optimized build of firefox, IIRC
[04:08] <imago> door, is there any stie that has thease commands on them so i can learn without bugging people
[04:08] <eigenlambda> lol firefox processor-optimized
[04:08] <door> imago:  you're not bugging anybody! and a good place to start might be www.linux.org. they've got a beginner's tutorial section
[04:08] <Luakagon> audio:x:29:mycomputername
[04:08] <door> imago: also, you might check out the ubuntuforums
[04:08] <imago> thx i will look at it
[04:09] <door> imago: try searching for whatever you're trying to do
[04:09] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, is your username 'mycomputername'?
[04:09] <door> imago: good luck!
[04:09] <Luakagon> Yes...
[04:09] <Luakagon> I censored it :P
[04:09] <KrakensDen> ah :)
[04:10] <a|i3N> hey how do i check how much space is left on my hard drive from console?
[04:10] <KrakensDen> hmm
[04:10] <KrakensDen> well
[04:10] <KrakensDen> everything looks ok...
[04:10] <door> a|i3N: df
[04:10] <empc> a|i3N, use df -H
[04:10] <door> empc: ah, duh, good suggestion
[04:10] <empc> lol
[04:11] <a|i3N> wow with all the crap I've installed on here i've only used 2 gigs. linux is amazing. lol
[04:11] <rummik> aww...bb doesn't work right...
[04:11] <eric__> Hi.  Has anybody had any trouble getting VMWare Player to work in Ubuntu?
[04:11] <rummik> it locks up if you play sound...
[04:11] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, so you get no error messages, and no sound as a regular user?
[04:12] <raindog> Hello.  I'm using Firefox and then autohide extension that allows you to customize full-screen settings.  However, in Ubuntu when I have Firefox in fullscreen I can't run my cursor to the top or bottom edge to bring up either Ubuntu toolbar.  What I'm looking for is a setting similart to "always on top" for the toolbars like in *ack*  XP.  Any suggestions?
[04:12] <eric__> I keep getting can't find /dev/vmmonitor.  I've tried completely removing and reinstalling twice now.
[04:12] <mrmojo> Hello
[04:12] <eric__> Trying to run pre-built machines for Fedora Core and Open SUSE.
[04:12] <mrmojo> is there a way to do anetwork install of ubunt
[04:12] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, I get error messages and no sound as a regular user.
[04:12] <mrmojo> like burn a small CD and then dl the packages off the internet?
[04:13] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, try running 'killall esd' and then running audacity as a regular user
[04:13] <imago> door, how do i fix my Floppy drive i tried the forums sugesstions but they didn't completly work
[04:13] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, you'll have to kill the superuser audacity first as well
[04:13] <dada> http://www.djdada.dl.am RnB/HipHop Songs to Download & Musicclips! check it out ;)
[04:14] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, if that works, you may want to try  going to system->preferences->sound, and disabling 'software mixing'
[04:14] <empc> mrmojo, like debian netinst ?
[04:14] <mrmojo> yep
[04:14] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, mostly because ALSA handles it better than ESD does
[04:14] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, what about just killing esd automatically with a startup script?
[04:14] <empc> i don't think so...
[04:14] <mrmojo> ok
[04:14] <Luakagon> ty btw
[04:14] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, that would also work
[04:14] <KrakensDen> but in my experience
[04:14] <KrakensDen> you don't actually need ESD
[04:14] <KrakensDen> and applications that won't run without it
[04:14] <KrakensDen> will just launch it
[04:15] <door> imago: i'm sorry...i haven't the foggiest. i use a laptop with no floppy drive. sorry :-(
[04:15] <Luakagon> OK... I need to make a startup script anyways; can you tell me how to set that up?
[04:15] <KrakensDen> sure
[04:15] <KrakensDen> open up your favorite text editor
[04:15] <MetaMorfoziS> !java
[04:15] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[04:15] <KrakensDen> #!/bin/sh <- first line
[04:15] <KrakensDen> and then it's just shell commands
[04:15] <imago> dorr, well the error it gives me is like this topic http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113947&highlight=floppy+mount+problem
[04:16] <KrakensDen> if you want to do looping, flow control, etc, the shell has constructs for that.
[04:16] <lmosher> Anyone here know how to convert cloneCD images?
[04:16] <kill4killin> can someone please help me, im having a problem doing gset-compiz now that i have compiz and xgl installed
[04:16] <ketsugi|away> has the broken xserver package been fixed yet?
[04:16] <KrakensDen> yes
[04:16] <ketsugi|away> ie is it safe for me to apt-get upgrade
[04:16] <ketsugi|away> okay thanks
[04:16] <KrakensDen> yes
[04:16] <Luakagon> ; separating?  or /newline?
[04:16] <KrakensDen> newline
[04:16] <KrakensDen> but ; works as well
[04:17] <wookienz> !ati
[04:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:17] <door> imago: do you know what filesystem you rfloppy drive is?
[04:17] <kill4killin> Does anyone with experience with compiz? Could you please help me if you do
[04:17] <gb453> !wpa
[04:17] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:17] <lufis> I added a third-party suppository to sources.list in order to install latest xgl/compiz packages. The repo had more than just xgl and compiz, however, and since newer versions of critical dependencies (stuff like cairo) were now being recognized by apt it told me i had updates. I foolishly installed them and now am having major text rendering issues... text disappears randomly and reappears just as randomly. Any ideas on how to doiw
[04:17] <Luakagon> OK!  What do I do to get this script run automatically? :)
[04:18] <door> Luakagon: that's "automagically" ;-)
[04:19] <Luakagon> door, surely my computer doesn't search through every tom, dick and textfile looking for #!/bin/sh when I start up and run commands willy-nilly!
[04:19] <dada> http://www.djdada.dl.am RnB/HipHop Songs to Download & Musicclips! check it out ;)
[04:19] <Luakagon> I have to do something :\
[04:19] <lufis> dada: they better be in ogg vorbis
[04:19] <imago> door, i got it working to a point but what i am asking is    that for every disk do i have to umount then mount  or is there one total fix so i don't have to do it agian
[04:19] <door> Luakagon: nope...do you want ti to run at boot?
[04:19] <Luakagon> door, Yes please.
[04:20] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, what does it do?
[04:20] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, launch audacity?
[04:20] <jjholt> any RAM manufactuer better than the others looking at Corsair right now
[04:20] <lmosher> kill4killin, what do you need to know?
[04:20] <door> imago: how did you get it working, if i may ask?
[04:20] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, if so, you might want to put it in your path instead
[04:20] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, my script kills esd and makes my wireless connection work.
[04:20] <aneglus> Luakagon: wonderful
[04:20] <Luakagon> I'll also make it start some useful programs up too :)
[04:20] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, you can disable ESD in system->preferences->sound
[04:20] <Luakagon> aneglus, thanks.
[04:20] <HeathenDan> corsair's too expensive. i'd go with apacer
[04:20] <Shadowpillar> are the dvd releases of ubuntu just bigger live cd's?
[04:20] <door> Luakagon: you can probably have that start up when you log in instead of at bootup
[04:20] <Shadowpillar> or do they offer packages + live cd?
[04:21] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, and you probably want to look at the gnome session manager
[04:21] <lufis> You know what you guys need? a little entertainment... *sits at piano* anyone like joni mitchell?
[04:21] <HeathenDan> the dvd has repositories
[04:21] <KrakensDen> system->preferences->sessions
[04:21] <tjamminpoato> what is the keyboard shortcut to open a terminal?
[04:21] <lufis> Ooooh I am a lonely painter. I live in a box of Gimp.
[04:21] <HeathenDan> you can set up a shortcut
[04:21] <imago> door, went into fstab change the fd0 thing from auto to vfat   then sudo mount /media/floppy0
[04:22] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, that way, you don't get error messages at boot 'cause X windows hasn't started yet :)
[04:22] <Luakagon> Woah...
[04:22] <tjamminpoato> HeathenDan, there is no default one?
[04:22] <Luakagon> I see no way to disable ESD in the Sound Preferences dialogue;
[04:22] <door> imago: hmm. ok, eject that floppy and then wait a few seconds, then put it back in. does it mount?
[04:22] <door> imago: (properly, by itself)?
[04:22] <aaronshaf> Where can I learn about scheduling "apt-get upgrade" 's on my machine?
[04:22] <aaronshaf> i.e. automating apt-get
[04:22] <HeathenDan> don't know. i set up a new one the moment i started using ubuntu
[04:22] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, see the button that says 'enable software mixing'?
[04:22] <Luakagon> I'm using Ubuntu 5.12.
[04:22] <lufis> Oh but I could configure a box of fstab and I would... still be on my feet!
[04:23] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, uncheck it!
[04:23] <KrakensDen> oh
[04:23] <KrakensDen> hmm
[04:23] <tjamminpoato> HeathenDan how would i got aobut doing that?
[04:23] <Luakagon> How about the button that says "enable sound server startup"?
[04:23] <band-aid> how can i get my screen resolution above 640x480
[04:24] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, that sounds like it :)
[04:24] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, is it currently checked or unchecked?
[04:24] <imago> ok what happens is the disk that i used the files basicly get copyied so if i wanted to use a different disk i would have to umount the mount the other disk
[04:24] <kill4killin> lmosher, when i type in gset-compiz, it says that the command was not found
[04:24] <door> imago: so you had to manually mount the other disk?
[04:24] <imago> ya
[04:25] <lufis> I met a woman. She had a box like yours, she knew your distro. She knew your hardware and your kernel version! She said, go to Ubuntu. Download Ubuntu. But be prepared to reeeadd manpages
[04:25] <Warbo> Can someone help me to confirm a bug?
[04:25] <door> imago: hmmmmmmmmm...i'm not sure what's up with that. perhaps rebooting?
[04:25] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, it was checked.
[04:25] <band-aid> is their a terminal command to change my screen resolution because the drop down menu will not let me get above 640x480. It has the proper resolutions in my xorg.conf file. Installing the drivers off of ATI's site didn't help
[04:25] <Warbo> !fixres > band-aid
[04:25] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, yeah, unchecking it should fix things :)
[04:25] <wubrgamer> hey guys
[04:25] <door> band-aid: just a sec...
[04:25] <lufis> Hey wubrgamer
[04:25] <wubrgamer> how do i send a file back and forth through ssh ?
[04:26] <empc> wubrgamer, scp
[04:26] <wubrgamer> scp ?
[04:26] <wubrgamer> what is scp ?
[04:26] <KrakensDen> it's like cp
[04:26] <KrakensDen> but over ssh
[04:26] <empc> yep
[04:26] <lmosher> kill4killin, gset-compiz is depreciated. You need to use gconf-editor then click 'apps" and "compiz" and all the settings are there. They're all documented on the compiz website
[04:26] <wubrgamer> oh god this is gonna be comlex to use
[04:26] <kill4killin> ok
[04:26] <KrakensDen> you can also use nautilus, the default file manager
[04:26] <kill4killin> lmosher, thank you
[04:26] <lmosher> kill4killin, and the good folks in #xgl and #ubuntu-xgl are very, very helpful
[04:27] <quinlan> Hello, I have breezy, how do I upgrade?
[04:27] <imago> door, tryed that but i have a lil complacation           i dual boot with win 2000 and solaris and ubuntu 5.10, mandrake, and gentoo
[04:27] <KrakensDen> wubrgamer, places -> connect to server
[04:27] <KrakensDen> wubrgamer, select ssh
[04:27] <lufis> If no one requests anything I'll start playing Tori Amos!
[04:27] <KrakensDen> wubrgamer, type in the server name, your user name, your password
[04:27] <door> imago:  oh dear.
[04:27] <KrakensDen> and you can drag and drop stuff in
[04:27] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, is there a way to make the "sudo dhclient wlan0" command happen in startup?
[04:27] <door> imago: so is it difficult for you to reboot?
[04:27] <wubrgamer> kay
[04:27] <wubrgamer> no
[04:28] <imago> just a little
[04:28] <wubrgamer> i need to be able to do it on a windows running putty
[04:28] <haasteem> !upgrade
[04:28] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[04:28] <wubrgamer> lol
[04:28] <wubrgamer> sorry
[04:28] <KrakensDen> oh
[04:28] <wubrgamer> this is for school
[04:28] <KrakensDen> pscp is what you want
[04:28] <longwave> wubrgamer: google for "winscp"
[04:28] <KrakensDen> it has scp's syntax
[04:28] <wubrgamer> i am setting up my proxy
[04:28] <wubrgamer> winscp ?
[04:28] <KrakensDen> and putty distributes it
[04:28] <KrakensDen> ah, wait
[04:28] <door> band-aid: are you in a terminal?
[04:28] <KrakensDen> filezilla
[04:28] <wubrgamer> can i do that through a putty shell though dude ?
[04:28] <band-aid> yes
[04:28] <KrakensDen> try filezilla
[04:28] <longwave> winscp is a graphical scp client for windows, if thats what you want
[04:28] <KrakensDen> it's a gui that will do what you want
[04:28] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, sorry
[04:28] <dada> http://www.djdada.dl.am RnB/HipHop Songs to Download & Musicclips! check it out ;)
[04:28] <door> band-aid: ok, type "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:28] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, I thought you were loading your wireless card in your script?
[04:29] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, but yes there is
[04:29] <door> band-aid: and go to "section screen"
[04:29] <imago> door, plus the reason i need to get floppy working is so that i can transfer my win 3.1 files
[04:29] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, it would be good because there are some startup things that lag because of no net connection.
[04:29] <lufis> Ok, type: sudo rm -R *    fixes EVERYTHING!
[04:29] <wubrgamer> can filezilla do SCP ?
[04:29] <band-aid> ok did that
[04:29] <wubrgamer> lufis, what does THAT do ?
[04:29] <door> imago: aha. the thing is, i'm not sure whether a change to your /etc/fstab will automagically be detected without a reboot...you might ask that "out loud" here
[04:30] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, are you usiing ndiswrapper?
[04:30] <lufis> wubrgamer: try it :p
[04:30] <longwave> lufis do not tell people to do that
[04:30] <wubrgamer> lol
[04:30] <wubrgamer> seriously
[04:30] <Warbo> Can someone please help me confirm a bug?
[04:30] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, or something else?
[04:30] <wubrgamer> this IS a n00buntu channel
[04:30] <wubrgamer> don't joke with rm
[04:30] <sethk> imago, what's not working about the floppy
[04:30] <longwave> wubrgamer: filezilla is an ftp/sftp client and server, i dont think it does scp
[04:30] <wubrgamer> dammit
[04:30] <wubrgamer> will putty do scp ?
[04:30] <door> band-aid: ok, what does it say for "DefaultDepth"?
[04:30] <longwave> wubrgamer: what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:30] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, you put it in rc.local, and I would tell you how
[04:31] <wubrgamer> access files on my home machine running ubuntu, from school running putty
[04:31] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, except I'm familiar with slackware's boot scripts
[04:31] <imago> i have to umount the current disk then mount the disk i want to use
[04:31] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, which are very, very simple
[04:31] <door> Warbo: mv $file ~/.Trash
[04:31] <Warbo> door: I mean for new users
[04:31] <longwave> wubrgamer: use "pscp" from the command line (which is bundled with putty) or "winscp" which is a gui client based on putty
[04:31] <band-aid> under section "screen" it says that default depth is 24
[04:31] <Warbo> door: Also, it isn't always ~/.Trash
[04:31] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, debian seems to be using functions... and I'm not sure how they're supposed to go
[04:31] <door> Warbo: i was kidding...
[04:31] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, yes.
[04:31] <Luakagon> Thanks for the free help guys! :)
[04:31] <longwave> wubrgamer: if you are not allowed to install software though, putty on its own can't do it
[04:31] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, I use ndiswrapper.
[04:32] <wubrgamer> what would i have to install ?
[04:32] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, I see :\
[04:32] <door> imago: right...ok, try this
[04:32] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, how is that Slackware frontman doing?
[04:32] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, he got better :)
[04:32] <longwave> wubrgamer: pscp.exe is just a single executable, there is nothing to install as such
[04:32] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, finally found a good doctor
[04:32] <Luakagon> KrakensDen, I'll take it to #debian :)
[04:32] <wubrgamer> oh right
[04:32] <raindog> Hello.  I'm using Firefox and the autohide extension that allows you to customize full-screen settings.  However, in Ubuntu when I have Firefox in fullscreen I can't run my cursor to the top or bottom edge to bring up either Ubuntu toolbar.  What I'm looking for is a setting similar to "always on top" for the toolbars like in *ack*  XP.  Any suggestions?
[04:32] <door> imago: actually
[04:32] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, yeah, ask them about rc.local
[04:32] <longwave> wubrgamer: for winscp i think it uses installshield or something like most windows apps
[04:32] <door> imago: nevermind
[04:32] <KrakensDen> Luakagon, they should point you in the right direction pretty quick
[04:32] <door> imago: i just don't quite understand why you object to a reboot...
[04:33] <door> band-aid: ok, go down a little...
[04:33] <band-aid> ok
[04:33] <door> band-aid: and under 'subsection "Display"' (the one with depth of 24)
[04:33] <door> what does it have after "Modes?"
[04:33] <imago> because i use 2 different boot loaders plus a floppy disk DDO
[04:34] <door> band-aid: what does it have after "Modes?"
[04:34] <Warbo> raindog: Metacity doesn't really allow you to change panel settings, but you could install brightside which lets you flip to the next desktop
[04:34] <band-aid> it says depth is 1
[04:34] <door> band-aid: btw, it's *very* helpful if you say my nick before responding
[04:34] <band-aid> how do I do that
[04:34] <band-aid> door: oh like this?
[04:34] <KrakensDen> band-aid, like this
[04:34] <door> yup!
[04:34] <door> band-aid: yup!
[04:35] <Grok_> on my gnome desktop i have a network status indicator that if i open it up it will tell me number of packets and other info as well as what my current ip address is. I don't see this same corresponding app in/on kde. could someone help point me in the right direction to install/find that info?
[04:35] <band-aid> door: lol I'm used to everything being complicated
[04:35] <door> band-aid: do you have a subsection that has a depth of 24
[04:35] <raindog> Warbo:  Thanks.
[04:35] <door> band-aid: aren't we all...
[04:35] <imago> door, because i use 2 different boot loaders plus a floppy disk DDO
[04:35] <Luakagon> Can anyone HERE assist me with rc.local?  They told me to go to #ubuntu
[04:35] <band-aid> door: yes
[04:35] <frantic> helloooo
[04:36] <Warbo> raindog: Does that work? I was thinking maybe Firefox "sticks" itself to each desktop (I don't use Metacity [Ubuntu's default window manager]  so I can't test it)
[04:36] <band-aid> door: the very last one
[04:36] <door> imago: sorry, i'm just confused. so you never turn your computer off?
[04:36] <hawkaloogie> is there a guide for making ubuntu-compatible .deb files from sources?
[04:36] <frantic> does anyone know where that file is that configures the hw clock?
[04:36] <lmosher> A program I am trying to compile requires aclocal-1.6 but it appears I have 1.4 Any ideas? Apparently it's part of the automake package.
[04:36] <door> band-aid: and that *is* the one that matches the number from "default depth?"
[04:36] <imago> door, for about 6 hours every month
[04:36] <frantic> i used to have this problem where my clock was days off when i booted windows
[04:36] <door> imago: ah
[04:36] <frantic> someone here helped me fix it
[04:36] <frantic> now it's only like 6 hours off
[04:37] <band-aid> door: yes
[04:37] <Warbo> raindog: You still here?
[04:37] <door> imago: i would suggest asking the whole channel if there's a way to make sure fstab gets re-detected without a reboot...
[04:37] <longwave> !info automake1.6
[04:37] <ubotu> Package automake1.6 does not exist in dapper
[04:37] <frantic> which is better, but not as good
[04:37] <band-aid> door: default depth is 24, and the last subsection says 24
[04:37] <lmosher> frantic, You do realize you just asked for a software file that defines a -hardware- clock :)
[04:37] <door> band-aid: what does it say by "modes" in that subsection?
[04:37] <imago> door, i am going to reboot see u in 10-20 min
[04:37] <door> imago: i'm sorry
[04:37] <door> imago: i'm not saying you have to
[04:37] <band-aid> door:  "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
[04:37] <band-aid> "720x400" "640x480"
[04:37] <frantic> yes, there's clearly a file that defines the relationship between the system time and the hardware clock
[04:38] <frantic> I've configured it before, I just forgot where it is
[04:38] <raindog> Warbo:  I'm looking into it.  What window manager are you using?
[04:38] <door> band-aid: hmmm. ok. get ready for some fun business!
[04:38] <Warbo> !info enlightenment
[04:38] <ubotu> enlightenment: The Enlightenment Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-3ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 380 kB, installed size 980 kB
[04:38] <band-aid> door: yay fun
[04:39] <wookienz> !ati
[04:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:39] <door> band-aid: back up your xorg.conf...twice, just for the heck of it :-)
[04:39] <Warbo> raindog: I was just going to ask if you could do something for me in return, since nobody seems to be responing
[04:39] <band-aid> door: oh god... that dosen't sound good
[04:39] <lmosher> frantic, Ah I see what you're getting at... um, if you're in gnome you can simply right click the time, click "time zone" and set your timezone to grenich mean time b/c unfortuantely by default it appears that gnome assumes your hardware is GMT and (in my case) takes 5 hours off it
[04:39] <eigenlambda> nope... don't see swiftfox being any faster than firefox...
[04:39] <door> band-aid: no worries
[04:39] <door> band-aid: the backups are to make life easier
[04:39] <band-aid> door: can I just make a couple copies onto my desktop?
[04:39] <frantic> not good enough
[04:39] <door> band-aid: sounds great
[04:39] <raindog> Warbo:  Shoot.  I'll do my best.
[04:39] <Warbo> Greenwich I think you'll find
[04:40] <lmosher> frantic, that is assuming your having an issues when you use another OS and the time is off?
[04:40] <lmosher> Warbo, same thing :P
[04:40] <frantic> yes
[04:40] <door> band-aid: the backups are just so that just in case this doesn't work, you'll be able to put your file back *exactly* as it was before
[04:40] <frantic> See, I installed ubuntu before windows
[04:40] <Warbo> raindog: Could you install the xteddy package and run it (just run "xteddy" in terminal) and tell me if a teddy bear appears? For me it is just all white
[04:40] <frantic> and I had to do all kinds of trickery to appease windows because of this
[04:40] <longwave> frantic: /etc/default/rcS controls whether the hardware clock is UTC or not, i think
[04:40] <frantic> ubuntu has been fairly easy to repair
[04:41] <frantic> but i just can't get this clock thing quite right
[04:41] <band-aid> door: ok two copies made onto desktop
[04:41] <lmosher> longwave, cool ty :P
[04:41] <frantic> when i boot windows, it's always 6 hours off
[04:41] <longwave> frantic: that and /etc/timezone are used to figure out the offset, or at least i think that's how it works
[04:41] <band-aid> one thing i have noticed is that linux makes you a MUCH better typer
[04:41] <raindog> Warbo:  I can in a minute.  I'm currently letting aptitude download/install some packages.  When it completes I'll check it out.
[04:42] <frantic> ah i think this rcS file was it
[04:42] <door> band-aid: shiny. ok, do you have a favorite text editor? if so, open it up with sudo or gksudo (depending on if it's graphikal or terminal-based)...and *yeah,* it really does
[04:42] <Warbo> raindog: OK thanks. I have been asking for ages but nobody replies (probably they don't want to admit they have teddies on their desktop)
[04:42] <lmosher> frantic, longwave gave you the answer edit /etc/default/rc5 then change to "UTC=no" on line 15
[04:42] <door> band-aid: otherwise, do this:  sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:42] <lmosher> ah you saw, i was doing the same (that had been driving me nuts in vmware)
[04:42] <Warbo> band-aid: I have become a much better typer than in years of using Amiga :)
[04:42] <frantic> ok i think that should do it right?
[04:42] <lmosher> one way to find out :)
[04:43] <band-aid> door: will the default one that came with this work ok?
[04:43] <frantic> boot windows :(
[04:43] <lmosher> but it looks like it
[04:43] <door> band-aid: gedit?
[04:43] <lmosher> well I'd boot linux first and set yoru clock first
[04:43] <band-aid> door: i guess lol
[04:43] <frantic> i just ran hwclock -w
[04:43] <band-aid> door: i've had this installed for like a total of 4 hours
[04:43] <frantic> which should reset the hw clock
[04:43] <frantic> so the system time
[04:43] <band-aid> door: haven't really gotten too deep into it yet
[04:43] <door> band-aid: wow! well i'm glad you've made it this far!
[04:43] <frantic> which is what windows expects
[04:43] <longwave> if you want to set the hardware clock for sure do it from the bios
[04:43] <longwave> then reboot and the system time will be picked up from that
[04:44] <Dev05> Hi! Is finally the xorg update non-buggy?
[04:44] <band-aid> door: i got flash player installed, that one made me pretty proud
[04:44] <door> band-aid: ok, press <alt>F2, then type gksudo gedit, and then hit enter
[04:44] <door> band-aid: :-D
[04:44] <frantic> alright thanks guys
[04:44] <carrus85> gha, anyone know a quick way to figure out which process is keeping a mountpoint busy so I can kill it?
[04:44] <carrus85> umount's "/media/cdrom0: device is busy" isn't particularly useful...
[04:44] <YoussefAssad> lsof | grep /name/of/mount/point
[04:44] <Warbo> carrus85: I use "umount -l" (lazy unmount), but I am not too sure what it does
[04:44] <empc> door, "sudo gedit" is also valid :p
[04:45] <Dev05> carrus85, Use the System Monitor and then check what process has a File handle to your moint point
[04:45] <band-aid> ok got it open
[04:45] <band-aid> door: got it open
[04:45] <door> empc: apparently, that somehow messes things up
[04:45] <carrus85> ah! my terminal was in the cdrom working directory, silly me
[04:45] <lmosher> I'm trying to compile something and automake1.6 is a dependency however "sudo apt-get automake1.6" reports: "Package automake1.6 is not available, but is referred to by another package." help?
[04:45] <Dev05> carrus85, lol
[04:45] <longwave> carrus85: "fuser" might help, also
[04:45] <door> empc:  i don't really use graphikal apps much, so i don't really know, though
[04:45] <empc> works fine for me door ..
[04:45] <YoussefAssad> lsof, not fuser
[04:45] <kill4killin> ok, now is there someway to set runcompiz.sh when kde starts automatically, because i have to initiate it myself
[04:46] <door> band-aid: shiny! ok...now go down to that same sub-section as before
[04:46] <band-aid> kk
[04:46] <door> band-aid: now, are each of the different resolutions on a different line?
[04:46] <Dev05> longwave, That's just TOO much :)
[04:46] <tatoo> does anybody have a source list w/ the package honeyd??
[04:47] <Dev05> Anyway, again, is the Xserver update working properly now?
[04:47] <Warbo> Dev05: I think so
[04:47] <door> Dev05: yup!
[04:47] <longwave> Dev05: yes
[04:47] <band-aid> door: nope, it looks like the tabbed over and then just let them wrap around with word wrap
[04:47] <door> ok...is the one you want the first one?
[04:47] <HEFO>
[04:47] <kill4killin> can someone remind me, what are the two xgl channels here on freenode?
[04:48] <door> band-aid: ok...is the one you want the first one?
[04:48] <Warbo> #ubuntu-xgl
[04:48] <Dev05> Warbo, door, longwave, OK, I had a hard time when it totally broke, thanks!
[04:48] <marek> hey
[04:48] <kill4killin> thank you
[04:48] <door> Dev05: that was pretty annoying...
[04:48] <coyanadel> server.irc.com.ar
[04:48] <band-aid> door: yea i want it to be 1280x1024
[04:48] <marek> when i go to a webpage that uses a java applet it says i need a java runtime environment
[04:48] <band-aid> door: and its the first one
[04:48] <marek> but it says its not available for firefox to download
[04:48] <Dev05> door, yeah.
[04:48] <Warbo> Dev05: I wasn't sure since mine is still broke. It broke before the dodgy update, but still isn't fixed (I'm in AIGLX right now)
[04:48] <marek> how do i use applets in firefox with ubuntu?
[04:48] <jamminpotato> does anyone know a keyboard shortcut for opening a terminal?
[04:49] <Warbo> alt-F2 opens a term
[04:49] <door> band-aid: cooool. ok, now, go over to the first character of the first one *after* that resolotion and insert a number sign (#)
[04:49] <Dev05> Warbo, That was just in time. Just killed the update download...
[04:49] <HEFO> hi..can someone help me with detectin internet connection with ubuntu?
[04:49] <Jamminpotato> Warbo i thought alt-f2 jsut opens a window to run a program, how do i make that in to a term
[04:49] <door> Jamminpotato: in gnome?
[04:49] <band-aid> door: are we commenting out the other ones?
[04:49] <Warbo> Dev05: My broken X is unrelated
[04:49] <Jamminpotato> door yea, gnome
[04:49] <Warbo> Jamminpotato: Oh, erm, I am not sure
[04:49] <Warbo> !keyboard
[04:49] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts (Gnome) or "input actions" in Kcontrol (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[04:49] <door> band-aid: yup! i have no idea whether this'll work or not, but we'll see :-)
[04:49] <band-aid> door: besides the one I want?
[04:50] <marek> anyone?
[04:50] <band-aid> door: lol
[04:50] <Jamminpotato> thanks ubotu
[04:50] <door> band-aid: yeah, all the rest
[04:50] <band-aid> door: just incase, is their a consol based IRC chat?
[04:50] <IRC> if i install ubuntu 6.06 desktop edition by typing "server" will it install the same stuff as on the ubuntu server seperate disc download?
[04:50] <HEFO> =(
[04:50] <Jamminpotato> ubotu is a bot, right?
[04:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot, right? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:50] <Warbo> band-aid: I use ircII in text-mode
[04:50] <door> band-aid: sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:50] <longwave> band-aid: irssi
[04:50] <Dev05> Warbo, Actually I think I don't really need it anyway...
[04:50] <door> band-aid: also:  before doing anything else
[04:50] <door> band-aid: after you save the file
[04:51] <longwave> Jamminpotato: erm, yes
[04:51] <door> band-aid: write down the command
[04:51] <door> band-aid: sudo cp /path/to/where/i/copied/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:52] <band-aid> door: ok got that installed, and I have commented them out
[04:52] <band-aid> will the effect take place when I save it?
[04:52] <door> band-aid: shiny. now save the file. nope! you need to restart X. did you write down that command?
[04:52] <Daniel2oo6> http://www.djdada.dl.am RnB/HipHop Songs to Download & Musicclips! check it out ;)
[04:52] <band-aid> door: for the irc thing?
[04:52] <gb453> !modules
[04:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modules - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:53] <door> band-aid: sudo cp /path/to/where/i/copied/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:53] <IRC> if i install ubuntu 6.06 desktop edition by typing "server" will it install the same stuff as on the ubuntu server seperate disc download?
[04:53] <band-aid> door: ok lemme get that
[04:53] <door> you have it
[04:53] <marek> firefox is saying that i need a java runtime environment, how do i get that so i can use java applets with firefox?
[04:53] <door> band-aid: cp is already installed
[04:53] <door> band-aid: that is the command you will need to type in if you get stuck staring at a fullscreen console
[04:54] <door> band-aid: and after that, you would need to type sudo reboot
[04:54] <band-aid> door: ok got that written down
[04:54] <band-aid> door: ok here i go
[04:54] <door> band-aid: both of those?
[04:54] <door> wait!
[04:54] <door> band-aid: wait!
[04:54] <band-aid> door: lol
[04:54] <dudus> hello I'm having badtimes trying to run robocode with sun java

[04:54] <shray> Hi, where can one edit the Session Startup Programs for a certain user from root console?
[04:54] <band-aid> door: i have the copy command
[04:55] <band-aid> door: what'd i miss?
[04:55] <door> band-aid: don't forget sudo reboot
[04:55] <dudus> I see this:
[04:55] <IRC> if i install ubuntu 6.06 desktop edition by typing "server" will it install the same stuff as on the ubuntu server seperate disc download?
[04:55] <dudus> dudus@dudusbuntu:~/Desktop/robocode$ java -jar robocode-setup-1.1.2.jar
[04:55] <dudus> /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:70: Engine "ubuntulooks" is unsupported, ignoring
[04:55] <dudus> /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:240: Priority specification is unsupported, ignoring
[04:55] <Warbo> shray: I think it is /home/username/.gnome2/session-manual
[04:55] <Dev05> IRC, I don't think so. Desktop's desktop and Server's server.
[04:55] <band-aid> door: ok got it
[04:55] <door> band-aid: type that afterwards, if it's an issue. now, cross your fingers and press control+alt+backspace
[04:55] <shray> Warbo: that doesn't exist
[04:55] <band-aid> door: see ya on the other side
[04:56] <dudus> And that's when I have to accept the license... I accept, and it never comes back!
[04:56] <IRC> Dev05: the server seperate download is like 400mb and the desktop is like 600mb i was just thinking that maybe theyre like the same but the server just has less programs on cd
[04:56] <coyanadel> irc.cl
[04:56] <coyanadel> server irc.cl'
[04:56] <coyanadel> server irc.cl
[04:56] <Warbo> dudus: Java programs have a wrapper around GTK (GIMP Tool Kit, used for drawing buttons and stuff) but that wrapper obviously doesn't like the Ubuntu theme. It should default to some basic settings though, not refuse to load
[04:57] <Warbo> shray: It does for me (but is empty)
[04:57] <dudus> Warbo: yes, I know what you mean... should I try another theme?
[04:58] <Dev05> IRC, I don't think so because even though the Desktop installation CD ISO Image is bigger, the Server has a lot of stuff that is not included by default in the Desktop, but the Desktop has all that nice stuff for desktop use.
[04:58] <Warbo> dudus: The theme shouldn't matter. For example I use the XFCE engine, but Java programs still load, they just apply the colours to a default theme
[04:58] <dudus> If i try -verbose I get a lot of messages about libraries beeing loaded... bot no errors or warnings, besides the one about ubuntulooks
[04:58] <Warbo> I have had Frost and stuff work fine, even with that complaint
[04:59] <IRC> Dev05: ok thanks. do you know if its possible to install an iso over the internet?
[04:59] <dudus> Warbo: the others java programs like Azureus, work well, and they do this default theme thing
[04:59] <Dev05> IRC, I bet you can. There should be a Net Install download. Let me check for you.
[05:00] <Warbo> raindog: You done yet?
[05:00] <band-aid> door: ok i'm back
[05:00] <band-aid> door: it didn't do anything lol
[05:00] <door> band-aid: did it work?
[05:00] <door> oh
[05:01] <raindog> Warbo:  just getting the bear now.
[05:01] <door> band-aid: that's *bizarre*
[05:01] <band-aid> door: its like It just regenerated
[05:01] <Ash-Fox> !testing
[05:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about testing - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:01] <door> band-aid: does the file say what it said before?
[05:01] <Ash-Fox> Anybody know where I can access the testing repositories?
[05:01] <dudus> Even if I Cancel the licence My process sleeps, and doesn't show anything else
[05:01] <Dev05> IRC, I'm starting to think that you can't. May be other disto?
[05:01] <marek> anyone?
[05:01] <door> Ash-Fox: i think that's just debian
[05:01] <Dev05> IRC, distro* for net install.
[05:02] <door> Ash-Fox: on ubuntu, there are backports, though...
[05:02] <Ash-Fox> door, hm, I'll look into that =)
[05:02] <IRC> Dev05: ok thanks. i guess ill have to find another cdr. thanks for your help
[05:02] <band-aid> door: yea just checked it, the comments are still there
[05:02] <Dev05> IRC, No problem.
[05:02] <door> Ash-Fox: ## Ubuntu Backports
[05:02] <door> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[05:02] <door> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse

[05:02] <door> ashfox:  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[05:03] <door> band-aid: actually...i'm going to have to abandon you now :-(
[05:03] <door> band-aid: i've reached the limit of what i know about that
[05:03] <band-aid> door: awww ok later
[05:03] <door> band-aid: but you might try it
[05:03] <Dev05> IRC, Anyway, you WILL need a CDR.
[05:03] <band-aid> door: lol
[05:03] <door> band-aid: good luck!
[05:03] <band-aid> door: i suppose it wouldn't hurt
[05:04] <door> band-aid: i suppose not. i'm not signing off, so i guess let me know if it does!

[05:05] <janez> hi
[05:05] <janez> the bug in xserver-core package is now fixed?
[05:05] <Warbo> hi
[05:05] <Warbo> yes
[05:05] <KrakensDen> janez, yes
[05:06] <raindog> Warbo:  Yes it works for me.  Now, how do I get it to go away??  :)
[05:06] <Warbo> raindog: put your cursor over it (so it's a heart :) ) and press "q", then uninstall the package
[05:06] <Warbo> Seems my problem might be Composite-related
[05:06] <j3g> i have one question... i need to update a remote machine (so there can't be any crashes... but i can reboot it later just fine)
[05:07] <j3g> from 5.10 to dapper
[05:07] <j3g> is there a safe way to do it?
[05:07] <Warbo> !upgrade
[05:07] <janez> um, ok :)
[05:07] <janez> bye
[05:07] <raindog> Warbo:  I figured it out.  whew.
[05:07] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[05:08] <j3g> but is it SAFE?
[05:08] <j3g> this is a remote machine :(
[05:08] <dudus> I did around my problem in a very scary way...
[05:08] <raindog> I installed the kubuntu and xubuntu-desktops to my ubuntu install.  However, now no matter witch I choose to use it engages my modem during bootup and dials into the internet.  How can I change this behavior so that it doesn't do it by default?
[05:08] <Warbo> Is anyone here using Composite extensions? (XGL uses them by default, and AIGLX recommends them)
[05:08] <Ktron> I give up, I can't install ubuntu heh :)
[05:09] <door> raindog: install bum
[05:09] <door> raindog: (the bootup manager)
[05:09] <Dev05> Ktron, ?
[05:09] <raindog> door:  thanks, I'll check it out.
[05:09] <door> raindog: shiny
[05:09] <dudus> After my process stoped responding I opened System Monitor an noticied the followyng : bash>java>gtk-helper, all sleeping
[05:09] <dr_willis> !dialup
[05:09] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[05:10] <dudus> Then I 'ended' gtk-helper, not killed, ENDED, and it came back!!!!
[05:10] <dudus> I think I should report it
[05:10] <Warbo> Is anyone here using XGL/Compiz?
[05:11] <YoussefAssad> dudus: yea, get a restraining order against gtk-helper
[05:11] <Warbo> It's only trying to help...
[05:11] <Ktron> Dev05, I'm completely stuck and I've tried all I can
[05:11] <eigenlambda> Warbo: ya
[05:11] <dudus> What is this gtk-helper anyway?
[05:11] <j3g> how to install vncserver  on 5.10? it doesn't seem to have that package ..
[05:11] <Ktron> Er, all I've thought to try or been told to
[05:11] <Ktron> brb
[05:12] <Warbo> eigenlambda: Could you please see if xteddy works? It doesn't for me and I think I have narrowed it down to Composite
[05:12] <eigenlambda> whats xteddy?
[05:12] <crdw> Hello! When i'm playing Frozen-Bubble the power manager turns to a black screen even when i don't stop playing. What can i do?
[05:12] <Warbo> (I am not in XLG or Compiz, but that was the easiest way to find someone with Composite enabled)
[05:12] <Warbo> !info xteddy
[05:12] <ubotu> xteddy: a cuddly teddy bear (or other image) for your X desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-2.1 (dapper), package size 298 kB, installed size 484 kB
[05:12] <Ktron> Dev05, I can't install off of the 6.06.1 livecd because it hangs mid installation on both the amd 64 disc and the x86 disc
[05:13] <door> Ktron: at what point does it hang?
[05:13] <Dev05> Ktron, Any error message? something?
[05:13] <raindog> Warbo:  xteddy kinda creeps me out.
[05:13] <Steven_M> hi all
[05:13] <door> hello
[05:14] <Warbo> raindog: I don't want to use it with the teddy image, I just want an image viewer which cuts out transparent areas from the window
[05:14] <Ktron> Here, I'll snag out my laptop if you think you might have a suggestion or two yet... It hangs, and the graphical progress window says 'Detecting file systems...' and /var/log/installer/syslog 's last line is 'backup'
[05:14] <mcquaid> hello, i've used linux for ages but never tried using my tv tuner for video capture, well I tried a few years ago and didn't like the apps
[05:15] <Dev05> Ktron, Have you had any other OS before in there?
[05:15] <Steven_M> Is there a shell command for putting a computer into standby mode?
[05:15] <mcquaid> i just tried pitivi but it just seg faults
[05:15] <mcquaid> anyone have any suggestions for a bt878 tv tuner for video capture?
[05:15] <Steven_M> hi door
[05:16] <crouchingmonkey> can someone give me a quick hand with azureus ?
[05:17] <door> crouchingmonkey: what's the problem?
[05:17] <mcquaid> crouchingmonkey, maybe.. shoot
[05:17] <Ktron> Dev05, 'in there'? you mean on the computer? Yes, I'm currently running windows xp on it (on it now)... I do swap 1 of my 4 hard drives because I want to install linux on a hard drive that isn't plugged in by default, but I could avoid having to switch a hard drive and disconnect a different one
[05:17] <mcquaid> btw, i finally gave up on azureus, utorrent works perfectly in wine
[05:18] <crouchingmonkey> door: i cannot update the SWT graphical library
[05:18] <crouchingmonkey> has something to do with permissions etc.
[05:18] <Dev05> Ktron, What's on that other hard drive?
[05:18] <door> crouchingmonkey: hmmmmm...that's beyond my ken. what i've heard a lot of people suggest is to use a different client. i've found that bittornado works like a charm
[05:18] <door> however, to install/upgrade libraries, you probably just need to be root
[05:19] <door> crouchingmonkey: however, to install/upgrade libraries, you probably just need to be root
[05:19] <Ktron> um, old windows partitions I think, but I told ubuntu it could blow away the whole drive
[05:19] <crouchingmonkey> door: i know but how do i run azureus as root ?
[05:19] <eigenlambda> Warbo: i see a white teddy bear silhouette
[05:19] <Dev05> Ktron, How old is it? May be is dead?
[05:19] <door> crouchingmonkey: <alt>F2, type gksudo azureus, hit enter...however,
[05:19] <Ktron> I'll find out exactly in a minute if you think that's suspect... I'll check and see
[05:20] <Dev05> Ktron, OK.
[05:20] <door> crouchingmonkey: DON'T do anything but upgrade those libraries
[05:20] <Warbo> eigenlambda: Yes!  Thanks
[05:20] <_w^x_> whats the best cd ripper encoder in the repos?
[05:20] <Warbo> !best
[05:20] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:20] <door> crouchingmonkey: after that, close azureus and start it as your normal user
[05:20] <door> _w^x_: i'm partial to crip
[05:20] <_w^x_> I've got soundjuicer but it only encodes to.ogg and I need mp3
[05:21] <mcquaid> anyone know of a good vid capture app for a bt878 tv tuner?
[05:21] <eigenlambda> what's the best operating system?
[05:21] <door> _w^x_: ah, well nevermind...you need to install an older version to get mp3 support
[05:21] <_w^x_> wait nevermind duh
[05:21] <door> eigenlambda: windoze! (jk)
[05:21] <foo> Hm, I followed the ssl howto wiki for apache and it doesn't seem to be working. I thought I should have like an apache2-sslctl ... but I don't .. .hm, any ideas?
[05:21] <crouchingmonkey> door: gksudo azureus will not start the program
[05:22] <mcquaid> crouchingmonkey, it should what does it say?
[05:22] <door> crouchingmonkey: what error does it give you?
[05:22] <crouchingmonkey> door: command not found
[05:23] <crouchingmonkey> but if i click on the icon it starts just fine
[05:23] <door> crouchingmonkey: ok...first, you need to find out where your azureus is. open up a terminal (this will be painless, i promise)
[05:23] <mcquaid> crouchingmonkey, do this first type azur and hit tab
[05:23] <door> crouchingmonkey: and then type "which azureus"
[05:23] <mcquaid> to make sure it's in your path
[05:23] <rob__> hello
[05:24] <K-tron> Alright, switching to here from the desktop
[05:24] <rob__> any recommendations for an ftp client?
[05:24] <crouchingmonkey> door: it doesnt work
[05:24] <door> you don't get anything? hmmmm...that's odd.
[05:24] <door> ok, try right-clicking on the launcher
[05:25] <door> crouchingmonkey: you don't get anything? hmmmm...that's odd.
[05:25] <door> crouchingmonkey: ok, try right-clicking on the launcher
[05:25] <door> crouchingmonkey: to see if you can "edit" it (or in this case, just look at it)
[05:26] <mcquaid> crouchingmonkey, you can no longer go to properties from menu shortcuts in gnome, you'll have to add it to the panel or desktop first
[05:26] <crouchingmonkey> door: i manged to send it to the desktop
[05:26] <mcquaid> which bugs me btw, you used to be able to
[05:26] <door> crouchingmonkey: eh?
[05:26] <mcquaid> he means he made a desktop shortcut
[05:26] <door> aha
[05:27] <mcquaid> so now right clicky and find out where azureus is located
[05:27] <crouchingmonkey> but i still cand run gksudo /home/fuse/Desktop/Azureus :|
[05:27] <vinnybinny> hello
[05:27] <miko> how do i get opera
[05:27] <miko> err
[05:27] <miko> flock i mean
[05:27] <door> crouchingmonkey: ok...open a terminal again...this time we're gonna find it!
[05:27] <vinnybinny> anyone familiar with this error? "FT_Load_Glyph:error#6
[05:27] <vinnybinny> "
[05:27] <gnujack> good evening all
[05:27] <miko> i have downloaded it already but dont know the next step
[05:27] <crouchingmonkey> door: im ready
[05:27] <door> crouchingmonkey: this time, type "locate azureus | grep bin"
[05:28] <door> crouchingmonkey: does anything come up?
[05:28] <gnujack> im having trouble with my nvidia graphics card (fx 5200 PCI)....if someone could help me get this running with vesa by editing the xorg, id appreciate it
[05:28] <vinnybinny> miko: this helped me http://www.ubuntu.com/news/opera9
[05:28] <crouchingmonkey> door: nothing
[05:28] <door> crouchingmonkey: for serious? that's bizarro. did you just install it?
[05:29] <Dev05> k-tron, Ok, so what is what you have in the old drive.
[05:29] <corevette> can someone help me
[05:29] <mcquaid> crouchingmonkey, did you install azureus through synaptic/apt-get or install it yourself?
[05:29] <door> corevette: with what?
[05:29] <crouchingmonkey> door: yes i did install it with that automatix script
[05:29] <K-tron> Dev05, heh, I think you're right, think that drive is borked, I'll try another
[05:29] <corevette> i know to get rid of grub.....you use the restore disc and type in fixmbr and fixboot.....but my recovery disc doens't have a command prompt
[05:29] <Dev05> K-tron, lol
[05:29] <mcquaid> ok have you tried right clicking on the desktop shortcut you just made to find where it is?
[05:30] <corevette> or can you use the ubuntu command prompt
[05:30] <_w^x_> ok now I need to know how to just take a .ogg audio file and encode it to mp3 or .wav
[05:30] <NickGarvey> _w^x_: oggdec file.ogg
[05:30] <NickGarvey> _w^x_: that will make the .wav
[05:30] <dr_willis> xp  cd's normally have a install/rescue  question.
[05:31] <NickGarvey> _w^x_: lame file.wav to make the .mp3
[05:31] <dr_willis> corevette,  unless ya got some 3rd party 'restore cd' thats not a full xp cd.
[05:31] <gnujack> im having trouble with my nvidia graphics card (fx 5200 PCI)....if someone could help me get this running with vesa by editing the xorg, id appreciate it
[05:31] <_w^x_> NickGarvey, is that in the vorbistools package?
[05:31] <corevette> dr_willis i have an emcahines restore disc...with no command prompt.....can i use the ubuntu command prompt?
[05:31] <fashong> Hello
[05:31] <door> crouchingmonkey: try right-clicking the desktop shortcut to see if you can edit it...
[05:31] <corevette> fashong hey
[05:32] <NickGarvey> _w^x_: no idea
[05:32] <_w^x_> also I need a video production studio application, Cinelerra is sick but freezes on me..
[05:32] <fashong> Are liveCd's meant to be used to install the whole operating system from online instead of burning like 4 cd's?
[05:32] <Steven_M> door: Is there a shell command for putting a computer into standby mode?
[05:32] <dr_willis> corevette,   double check their menus and stuff..  they could just be ripping you off.. you could get any xp cd.. you dont need to enter a serial # or anything just to get to the rescue mode
[05:32] <door> Steven_M: no idea...sorry
[05:32] <vinnybinny> fashong: it depends on the distro
[05:32] <crouchingmonkey> door: yes i can
[05:32] <fashong> say ubuntu or debian
[05:32] <fashong> Fashong:  t
[05:33] <vinnybinny> fashong: you can do a install from the ubuntu cd
[05:33] <ke> I have an Intel HP Pavilion Pentium 4 PC with 3.06 GHz and 504 MB of Ram but for some reason, after it configures the drivers, ubuntu doesn't show up and gives me a blank input screen.
[05:33] <vinnybinny> live cd
[05:33] <door> crouchingmonkey: ok, what does it say the path to the application is?
[05:33] <pdoran> newb question, every time I try to do an update in "apt-get" I get 1 of 2 errors, "connection timed out" or "sub process returned a bzip error", are all the repositories screwed up? Is it no longer practical or possible to do a system update online???
[05:33] <nadanada> has anyone gotten azureus to work properly in ubuntu?
[05:33] <door> Steven_M: sorry
[05:33] <crouchingmonkey> door: /opt/azureus/azureus
[05:33] <Deaigo> if i want to setup the java vnc thing(webpage) on ubuntu what do i do?
[05:33] <miko> Is the ADD/REMOVE program same as ADD NEW APPLICATION
[05:33] <Steven_M> door: that's ok
[05:33] <vinnybinny> fashong: ubuntu just come on one cd (thank god) but they do have processor specific cd's
[05:33] <door> crouchingmonkey: aha!
[05:34] <miko> sorry for the caps
[05:34] <door> crouchingmonkey: ok
[05:34] <corevette> anyone! can i use the ubuntu command prompt on the install disc to type fixmbr instead of on a windows restore disc???
[05:34] <fashong> and debian?
[05:34] <dr_willis> corevette,  NO.. its a XP command.
[05:34] <door> crouchingmonkey: press alt+F2 again
[05:34] <fashong> for linux distros that have more than 1 cd
[05:34] <fashong> they might have a live cd
[05:34] <ke> does anyone have any idea why i can't get it to load past "configuring devices"?
[05:34] <fashong> and it is mainly used to install linux without burning all those cd's
[05:34] <door> crouchingmonkey: but this time type "gksudo /opt/azureus/azureus" and hit enter
[05:34] <crouchingmonkey> door: did it
[05:34] <door> crouchingmonkey: did it work?
[05:34] <fashong> by grabbing the files from Internet or somewhere else
[05:34] <fashong> right?
[05:34] <corevette> dr_willis so if my restore disc doesn't have a command prompt...i'm screwed?
[05:34] <crouchingmonkey> door: thx a lot man
[05:34] <pdoran> newb question, every time I try to do an update in "apt-get" I get 1 of 2 errors, "connection timed out" or "sub process returned a bzip error", are all the repositories screwed up? Is it no longer practical or possible to do a system update online???
[05:34] <vinnybinny> fashong: yeah redhat style or whatnot.
[05:35] <door> crouchingmonkey: lol. everybody assumes i'm a man on here
[05:35] <fashong> alright just wondering
[05:35] <Steven_M> K-tron: Is there a shell command for putting a computer into standby mode?
[05:35] <dr_willis> corevette,  no idea. My last emachine  had a xp disk that let me get to the restore/rescue options.. you can use any XP cd.. borrow a friends.
[05:35] <tatoo> how can i force the installation of a broken package
[05:35] <tatoo> ?
[05:35] <vinnybinny> fashong: ubuntu  = 1 cd.   thankfully
[05:35] <door> crouchingmonkey: by the way, do you still have that terminal open? here's a way to make things easier in the futer
[05:35] <_w^x_> NickGarvey, i need to be able to play these files in my car's stock cd player
[05:35] <door> crouchingmonkey: *future
[05:35] <crouchingmonkey> door: well having common sense helps a lot :P
[05:35] <door> _w^x_: are you trying to burn a cd?
[05:35] <corevette> dr_willis so to get rid of grub....do i tyep fixboot or fixmbr or both?
[05:35] <fishy> Hello all.
[05:35] <fishy> My audio isn't working - I can't hear anything, and in SuperTux and other games, the "sound effects" and "music" options are disabled in the options panel. I'm not really sure what's wrong, so I can't tell you. Is there a way I can reinstall all audio configuration files and restore them back to the original state, without reinstalling the entire OS?
[05:35] <pdoran> are there mirrors for "security.ubuntu.com" ???
[05:36] <crouchingmonkey> door : im all eyez & ears
[05:36] <_w^x_> door, i ripped a cd I bought and want to play a copy in my car and keep the original nice and scratch free.
[05:36] <door> crouchingmonkey: common sense...whatever. who needs it? but in the terminal, if you do the following things:
[05:36] <door> crouchingmonkey: cd /usr/bin
[05:36] <gnujack> what is the command to reconfigure the xserver in the terminal???
[05:36] <_w^x_> door, and soundjuicer ripped it to .ogg but that won't play in my car
[05:36] <door> crouchingmonkey: sudo ln -s /opt/azureus/azureus .
[05:36] <dr_willis> corevette,  both.. it wont hurt anything  :)
[05:37] <corevette> so to get rid of grub....do i tyep fixboot or fixmbr or both?
[05:37] <fishy> Any ideas?
[05:37] <corevette> ok thanks
[05:37] <door> _w^x_: aha! but when you put it back on a cd
[05:37] <tatoo> how can i force the installation of a broken package?
[05:37] <door> _w^x_: it's retranslated into cd audio
[05:37] <door> _w^x_: i think
[05:37] <fishy> I've been asking for an answer to this problem for 6 days now, in this channel. No response has come back in that entire time.
[05:37] <_w^x_> door, so I need to convert those to something that will work in my car's stock cd player
[05:37] <gnujack> what is the command to reconfigure the xserver in the terminal???
[05:37] <door> crouchingmonkey: and that should make it so you won't have to type the whole path ever again :-)
[05:38] <raindog> I just installed AVG for Linux and I'm curious if there is an antivirus email scanner for linux as there doesn't appear to be on with the Linux version of AVG.
[05:38] <fishy> It's like I'm invisible. Can anyone read this?
[05:38] <ke> yes, fishy
[05:38] <ke> i can read it
[05:38] <_w^x_> fishy,
[05:38] <fishy> ok cool :)
[05:38] <door> _w^x_: right....i'm pretty sure that when you burn a cd it's changed from ogg into cd audio, which should be readable
[05:38] <mcquaid> hmm, video capture apps seem just as lacking as they did when I last tried 4 years ago
[05:38] <fishy> just wondering if I was identified or not
[05:38] <pdoran> newb question, every time I try to do an update in "apt-get" I get 1 of 2 errors, "connection timed out" or "sub process returned a bzip error", are all the repositories screwed up? Is it no longer practical or possible to do a system update online???
[05:38] <ke> i'm guessing they are just busy
[05:38] <Fracture> will the new nvidia drivers be backported to dapper ?
[05:39] <_w^x_> door, what burner should I use, I have gnomebaker now.
[05:39] <mcquaid> Fracture, no
[05:39] <crouchingmonkey> door, that makes sense ... ;)
[05:39] <pdoran> its been like this for the last 2 days, is this normal for ubuntu?
[05:39] <mcquaid> well maybe but doubtfull
[05:39] <door> _w^x_: does gnomebaker not work?
[05:39] <door> crouchingmonkey: shiny!
[05:39] <Fracture> mcquaid: taa, is there a way to install them on dapper then ?
[05:39] <_w^x_> I'll brb
[05:39] <door> crouchingmonkey: have fun azureusing
[05:39] <fishy> ugh
[05:39] <dr_willis> pdoran,  servers are having a bit of overload lately it seems. could try some different ones.
[05:39] <crouchingmonkey> door, thx again
[05:40] <door> crouchingmonkey: np, anytime :-)
[05:40] <mcquaid> Fracture, you can try and install the binary file directly from nvidia, but I had issues with an old version of ubuntu doing that
[05:40] <jamesstansell> pdoran: I don't think there official mirrors of security.ubuntu.com
[05:40] <C-ron> fishy i might be able to help
[05:40] <mcquaid> i ended up compling the kernel for nvidia and some other thing i needed
[05:40] <BNOsaosin> door: what is the command to reconfigure the xserver in the terminal???
[05:40] <pdoran> is there a list of "under utilized" servers ?
[05:40] <mcquaid> but a pain in the butt and shouldn't be required for a video driver update
[05:40] <door> BNOsaosin: lol...do i have a "rep" now or something? what're you trying to do?
[05:40] <BNOsaosin> huh?
[05:41] <Ampsonic> Hello!
[05:41] <Ampsonic> anyone around?
[05:41] <BNOsaosin> nah just saw you were actually answering haha
[05:41] <BNOsaosin> :)
[05:41] <pdoran> so is it fair to say that its pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to perform an update of new 6.06 install? For the last 2 days all I get is errors connecting to the repositories....
[05:41] <ramasdf123> HELP!!! I want to reinstall ubuntu without reformatting? will all the programs be deleted and will i lose my data?
[05:41] <door> BNOsaosin: i was just being ironical because you're the second person who specifically messaged me about a command-line app...
[05:41] <jman8888> I was reading the ubuntu wiki. And i now want to have a explenation for this. Why is it illegal in some areas to have Codecs like Wav,Mp3,Mov,Avi Installed without "Paying the Developers?" I dont get it so if i have my Mp3's i cant legally play them?
[05:41] <jamesstansell> pdoran: this page may be of interest: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:41] <door> BNOsaosin: what're you trying to do to the xserver?
[05:41] <K-tron> heh Dev05, if it turns out to be that I was trying to install to a bad hd, I'd feel like a tool and a half
[05:41] <K-tron> which I'm pretty sure I will heh
[05:42] <fishy> C-ron: The symptoms are 1) No audio is playing in browsers in Flash files, 2) No audio is playing anywhere else, and 3) On sites like pandora.com, the "progress bar" telling me how far it got into the song, doesn't even start moving. I'm not really sure what's wrong. Since every computer is different, I know you can't send me your config files (well, I don't think it would work), but is there a way to restore them, or reinstall them?
[05:42] <Dev05> K-tron, Anyway, that's a bug. It shouldn't crash.
[05:42] <ramasdf123> HELP!!! I want to reinstall ubuntu without reformatting? will all the programs be deleted and will i lose my data?
[05:42] <BNOsaosin> well, i had an ATI card installed, wasnt working right with XGL so i put my old FX5200 in....it wouldnt start the xserver with the new card, so i want to edit the xorg.conf to let the nvidia card use vesa to get into the gui
[05:42] <K-tron> Dev05, heh... hopefully that really is the problem, I'll find out soon enough though
[05:43] <Dev05> ramasdf123, I guess you'll have to reinstall your applications ->I guess-<
[05:43] <jamesstansell> pdoran: I had errors similar to yours sometimes when I was still on dialup
[05:43] <gb453> !hostap
[05:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hostap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:43] <Ampsonic> Quick question, just need someone to point me in the right direction of what to be looking at: I would like to have a quick / easy website that only I can access that will let me search through 100,000+ files and download the results
[05:43] <K-tron> Dev05, if I let the livecd boot, run some commands, init 1 and init 5 again (to get X working) that shouldn't break affect the installer, right?
[05:44] <C-ron> fishy: are you a forum member?
[05:44] <BNOsaosin> any ideas?
[05:44] <jman8888> I was reading the ubuntu wiki. And i now want to have a explenation for this. Why is it illegal in some areas to have Codecs like Wav,Mp3,Mov,Avi Installed without "Paying the Developers?" I dont get it so if i have my Mp3's i cant legally play them? If you buy a dvd your not allowed to play it (I asked before. No responce.)
[05:44] <fishy> C-ron: Yes I am
[05:44] <Dev05> K-tron, emm... Why would you do that?
[05:44] <door> BNOsaosin: so are you stuck in CLI?
[05:45] <door> BNOsaosin: also...i won't know you messaged me unless you put my nick at the front...
[05:45] <ramasdf123> Dev05 ur not sre?
[05:45] <C-ron> fishy: have you read this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449  ?
[05:45] <jamesstansell> jman8888: as best I understand, it's a patent issue
[05:45] <BNOsaosin> yes....cant start x unless i remove the nvidia card....i just want to configure it with vesa, log in to gui and run easy ubuntu to configure it
[05:45] <BNOsaosin> sry
[05:45] <door> BNOsaosin: no worries
[05:45] <BNOsaosin> on a mac....god knows theres a lack of good IRC clients for us :(
[05:45] <dr_willis> jman8888,  when you buy a dvd player (ie for the tv) part of the cost IS going to the makers of the dvd consortium (or whoever the heck it is) :)
[05:45] <qch> BNOsaosin: how about sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[05:45] <jman8888> jamesstansell, So why cant stores online sell oog's?
[05:45] <door> BNOsaosin: bleah
[05:45] <jamesstansell> jman8888: rather absurd, though, isn't it?
[05:45] <jman8888> jamesstansell, Yeah.
[05:46] <door> BNOsaosin: uhhh...are you using the default nvidia driver that came with ubuntu?
[05:46] <Dev05> ramasdf123, I just guess so because I think it will re-install the OS. Your files won't be lost if you explicitely tell the installer NOT to format your partitions.
[05:46] <K-tron> Dev05, method 1 of http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide seems to be what I need to do to get X working... obviously I can't reboot, so I init 1 then init 5 (heh, I could probably try to restart just the 3 services but I didn't seem to have much luck at that)
[05:46] <BNOsaosin> im not sure, ive never sed an nvidia card with linux
[05:46] <DarkMageZ> what package is dd part of?
[05:46] <door> BNOsaosin: i guess that means yes, since you didn't do anything special :-)
[05:47] <Dev05> ramasdf123, What I don't know if the re-install will overwrite our config files.
[05:47] <fishy> C-ron: It worked before. My guess is that I screwed up the config accidentally.
[05:47] <door> BNOsaosin: ok...let's see. type sudo aptitude
[05:47] <meathead_> anyone here use rtorrent?
[05:47] <jamesstansell> jman8888: no reason they couldn't sell oggs, but they've convinced themselves they won't make money that way
[05:47] <BNOsaosin> door: well i dont think im useing any drivers right now haha cause i cant get into X
[05:47] <Dev05> K-tron, ??? You just have to but the CD in, boot it and then start the installer.
[05:47] <dr_willis> meathead_,  i have in the past.
[05:47] <ramasdf123> Dev05, i want everything but my files to be deleted, like all the config files, program files and XGL I installed
[05:47] <door> BNOsaosin: right...
[05:47] <meathead_> dr_willis: did you compile it yourself?
[05:47] <door> BNOsaosin: are you in aptitude?
[05:48] <K-tron> Dev05, X doesn't come up correctly by default
[05:48] <jman8888> jamesstansell, If i could i would start a Linux Freindly Itunes altenitve that Sells oog's
[05:48] <BNOsaosin> door: i will try the dpkg-reconfigure and see if i can get it going.....let me try that, the comp is in the other room
[05:48] <dr_willis> meathead_,  I have befor.. last time i thought it was in the repos
[05:48] <mcquaid> are there any reps for mythtv .19?
[05:48] <dr_willis> !info rtorrent
[05:48] <ubotu> rtorrent: ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.4.2-1 (dapper), package size 152 kB, installed size 448 kB
[05:48] <door> BNOsaosin: oh, ok
[05:48] <BNOsaosin> door; thanks for patience :(
[05:48] <Dev05> ramasdf123, I really don't know what to tell you. Why do you want to re-install? May be I can help you fix your problems without re-installing :)
[05:48] <door> BNOsaosin: np...i'll try to help better when you get back
[05:48] <meathead_> dr_willis: it is in the repos, but my tracker doesn't allow for the really old version that's in dapper... 4.2
[05:48] <K-tron> Dev05, but the the steps in that guide to switch drivers do work, and when I init 5 it'll load up gdm and I'll get a desktop :)
[05:48] <dr_willis> meathead_,  use the source luke! :)
[05:48] <marshall_> hey guys
[05:48] <Dev05> K-tron, So do that before you actually call the installer.
[05:49] <meathead_> I need to compile a new version, but everytime i SUCESSFULLY install libtorrent and then try to install rtorrent it tells me libtorrent isn't installed
[05:49] <BNOsaosin> door: ok thanks
[05:49] <marshall_> i just updated and my atheros wlan card (ath0) isnt recognized anymore
[05:49] <ramasdf123> Dev05, there is too much junk i dont use and i tried installin stuff that doesnt work so i just want to clean everything
[05:49] <K-tron> Dev05, oh, yes, of course, I just wanted to make sure that having init'd 1 and init'd 5 on a system before I start installing wouldn't mess anything up
[05:49] <marshall_> i tried lsmod and madwifi doesnt show anymore
[05:49] <ramasdf123> Dev05 , i was trying to go VPN to wrok
[05:49] <ramasdf123> work*
[05:50] <door> marshall_: is madwifi a kernel module?
[05:50] <Dev05> ramasdf123, So just desinstall all that the apps. that you don't longer need.
[05:50] <marshall_> i tried modprobe madwifi and modprobe madwifi-ng and it says that modules by those names cant be found
[05:50] <jamesstansell> jman8888: there's some evidence out there that making downloads free, but prominently letting people know how to pay for what they like, would actually make a lot more money
[05:50] <glick> scuse me whats the name of the ubuntu wifi config utility?
[05:50] <Dev05> K-tron, Oh, no, no. Shouldn't be any problem.
[05:50] <ramasdf123> tried that, i used automatix
[05:50] <door> marshall_: stupid question, but were you root? also, have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure madwifi?"
[05:50] <ramasdf123> dev05, tried that, i used automatix but i for some reason i cant uninstall
[05:50] <jamesstansell> jman8888: but first you have to have the right to distribute tunes that people like
[05:51] <poningru> how do I download the kernel source?
[05:51] <poningru> using the apt-get source
[05:51] <Dev05> ramasdf123, Mmm... KDE or GNOME?
[05:51] <jamesstansell> poningru: the package should be something like kernel-source
[05:51] <marshall_> door, theres an idea
[05:51] <glick> ?
[05:51] <popupman> does anyone happen to know, in detail, how to use wine?
[05:51] <door> marshall_: i just hope it's a good one :-)
[05:51] <poningru> ah ok thanks let me try that
[05:51] <marshall_> door: but do i need an internet connection to reconfigure madwifi
[05:51] <ramasdf123> dev05, GNOME
[05:51] <dr_willis> popupman,  wine path/to/windowsexecutable.exe
[05:51] <dr_willis> !wine
[05:51] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:51] <raindog> Does ClamAV scan email?
[05:52] <LadyNikon> raindog: yes
[05:52] <door> marshall_: i don't *think* so
[05:52] <LadyNikon> at least the windoze version does
[05:52] <jman8888> jamesstansell, I think that Somebody needs to make like Ktunes or Gtunes. And make it play and download oog's. I wish i could know how much the license would be for how much.
[05:52] <argument> !vmware
[05:52] <LadyNikon> oh wait.. i read that wrong
[05:52] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[05:52] <Dev05> ramasdf213, Use Synaptic. Alt+F2 and then start: gksudo synaptic
[05:52] <door> marshall_: but if you do, it'll just exit and give you an error message without breaking your computer
[05:52] <popupman> dr_willis, yes, i know that much. but, how do i add a folder in the winodws directories?
[05:52] <marshall_> is it possible to run your windows os while you're in linux and have windows use all the drivers youve installed on it?
[05:52] <jamesstansell> poningru: package name is linux-source
[05:52] <marshall_> door: lol ok thans
[05:53] <raindog> LadyNikon:  Thanks.
[05:53] <marshall_> door: i gotta switch back and try it now
[05:53] <dr_willis> popupman,  wine makes a 'fake' windows  drive/setup in the .wine dir.  check it out.
[05:53] <door> marshall_: good luck!
[05:53] <glick> does anyone know the name of the default gnome wifi config program that ships with ubuntu??
[05:53] <dr_willis> popupman,  then theres the wine config files. and the wine config tool (which i rarely ever use)
[05:53] <dr_willis> popupman,  that controll that stuff
[05:53] <door> glick: network-manager, i think, has some settings
[05:54] <door> glick: or maybe it's network-admin
[05:54] <popupman> dr_willis, ill take a look to see where the actual files are stored. are they in the /usr/lib/wine folder though?
[05:54] <dr_willis> popupman,  NO.. each user has a .wine directory
[05:54] <dr_willis> popupman,  one is made by wine
[05:54] <popupman> dr_willis, ah. ok. ill go look for that one then
[05:54] <Killeroid> !qemu
[05:54] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[05:54] <dr_willis> popupman,  wine proberly has some system wide default configs also on the system
[05:54] <SillyZ> evneing
[05:55] <MuteMathSSR> hello?
[05:55] <ramasdf123> dev05, what does that do?
[05:55] <popupman> dr_willis, do you happen to know where the config files pointing to the actual location would be as i cant seem to find it?
[05:55] <SillyZ> quick q, ubuntu, xubuntu 6.06.1, wahts the codename for gnome? metacity?
[05:55] <dr_willis> popupman,  nope. try 'locate wine'
[05:55] <popupman> dr_willis, im not exactly used to the linux file systems as its my first time on linux ><
[05:55] <Dev05> ramasdf123, It's a powerful Package Management program :)
[05:55] <BNOsaosin> door: im going to go on my laptop near the compter im working on....if you are free when im back im having trouble still
[05:55] <MuteMathSSR> Mmzkay, what can I type in my terminal to check my fanspeed?  (over heating problems) P4 in a laptop
[05:56] <door> SillyZ: i'm not quite sure what you mean...do you mean the name of the application to install?
[05:56] <K-tron> Dev05, I'm up to up to the same point again in the install... heh, let's see if it makes it beyond detecting file systems/'backup'
[05:56] <door> BNOsaosin: sure, i'm free
[05:56] <BNOsaosin> ty
[05:56] <ramasdf123> dev05, its not opening
[05:56] <Dev05> K-tron, I hope it will.
[05:56] <ramasdf123> dev05, asks for pw and does nothing
[05:56] <SillyZ> door like one version was named metacity, and the enothe was someting else
[05:56] <popupman> dr_willis, thanks for that. thats a command i need to know and will most likely use a lot xD. anyway, i found the files. thanks for your help
[05:56] <door> SillyZ: so are you just trying to install gnome and metacity?
[05:57] <door> SillyZ: did you want to install the whole gnome environment, too?
[05:57] <SillyZ> trying to install some themes here from gnome-look.org but having problems i think its the wrong version
[05:57] <Dev05> ramasdf123, in the Terminal do: sudo synaptic
[05:57] <dr_willis> popupman,  it pays to read a few linux/shell tutorials and learn the FUNdamentals
[05:57] <SillyZ> Im running gnome as we speak door
[05:57] <door> SillyZ: are those in the "gtk2 themes" section?
[05:57] <ramasdf123> dev05, ~$ sudo synaptic
[05:57] <ramasdf123> synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libvte.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:57] <SillyZ> no they were in metacity and celestia? i belive it was
[05:58] <SillyZ> sorry compiz
[05:58] <door> SillyZ: ok...this is going to sound like a stupid question
[05:58] <popupman> dr_willis, ill go do that i suppose. i actually installed ubuntu last night and havent had much time to do any poking around. bow now i need to get a windows version of jGrasp to work.. soo.. eh..
[05:58] <SillyZ> not celestia
[05:58] <Dev05> ramasdf123, lol, hold on.
[05:58] <jamesstansell> jman8888: this article will probably interest you: http://www.janisian.com/article-internet_debacle.html
[05:58] <door> SillyZ: but do you use metacity as your window manager in XFCE4?
[05:58] <SillyZ> fire when ready door, stupid questions seem to follow me
[05:58] <MuteMathSSR> mkay, who wants to be my mate?
[05:58] <door> SillyZ: I *think* that by default XFCE provides its on window manager
[05:59] <meathead_> dr_willis: ?
[05:59] <ivx>  can some one help me install the w32codecs. when i try to install it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:59] <ivx> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:59] <ivx> is only available from another source
[05:59] <SillyZ> on XFCE I only use the default what ever that may be, i havent dug too far into it yet
[05:59] <K-tron> Dev05, still hung; I'll try disconnecting every hard drive except for one that I know works and that I know I can wipe
[05:59] <dr_willis> huh?
[05:59] <meathead_> dr_willis: you never answered my question about rtorrent
[05:59] <door> ivx:  automatix is the way to go!
[05:59] <SillyZ> iok so metacity is for xfce, special enviornment
[05:59] <door> ivx:  search on the forums for automatix
[05:59] <Dev05> ramasdf123, in the Terminal run: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvte.so.9 /usr/lib/libvte.so.4
[05:59] <dr_willis> meathead_,  what about it? if you need the latest.. use the souce.
[05:59] <Dev05> ramasdf123, Then again: sudo synaptic
[05:59] <SillyZ> so for gnome i prolly want the gtk-2 themes
[05:59] <meathead_> dr_willis: do you know why rtorrent would be saying I don't have libtorrent installed when I try to compile it?
[06:00] <regeya> eep.  did someone just say that metacity is for xfce???
[06:00] <ivx> door: i'll look it up. what is it a name of a codec?
[06:00] <meathead_> dr_willis: when I very much have libtorrent installed
[06:00] <door> SillyZ: for xfce you probably want gtk2 themes 2
[06:00] <saosinBNO> door: back and ready to go....i tried the dpkg reconfigure....it was prefilling values for my onboard video card....im in aptitude and awaiting your instructions
[06:00] <dr_willis> meathead_,  you need the libtorrent-dev files would be MY guess
[06:00] <ramasdf123> dev05, ~$ ok
[06:00] <Dev05> K-tron, wow, ok...
[06:00] <SillyZ> really?
[06:00] <meathead_> dr_willis: I got em :(
[06:00] <SillyZ> where does compiz come into play then door?
[06:00] <door> ivx:  it's probably not in the repos by default...automatix is a program that installs hard-to-get things for you
[06:00] <jamesstansell> ivx: automatix is a script
[06:00] <dr_willis> meathead_,  no idea. i can try to compile it.. i guess.. brb,,
[06:00] <ramasdf123> dev05, now what?
[06:01] <BNOsaosin> sry
[06:01] <Dev05> ramasdf123, Did Synaptic open up?
[06:01] <ivx> door jamesstansell alright i'll look it up thanks
[06:01] <door> SillyZ: i think so...
[06:01] <door> ivx: cool
[06:01] <door> SillyZ: you might google "xfce4 theme"
[06:01] <door> SillyZ: and see what comes up...
[06:01] <ramasdf123> dev05, yes
[06:01] <door> BNOsaosin: welcome back
[06:02] <BNOsaosin> haha thanks
[06:02] <BNOsaosin> im in apt like you said
[06:02] <door> BNOsaosin: ok...so reconfiguring didn't work?
[06:02] <wolfmanz> Anyone here using Knotes and have it load on boot up?
[06:02] <SillyZ> aye will do, thanks again for all the help door
[06:02] <jamesstansell> ivx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-6c942d1939d97331f96e42b63774003fde7daed5 has information about installing w32codecs
[06:02] <BNOsaosin> door: nope, it was recognizing my onboard not the nvidia
[06:02] <door> SillyZ: good luck
[06:02] <gb453> can anyone help me get wpa_supplicant running? debug here -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21687
[06:02] <Dev05> ramasdf123, so then go search and look for the packages that you want to uninstall. Be careful :)
[06:02] <door> BNOsaosin: pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by your "onboard?"
[06:02] <nrdb> if I where to put the contents of the LiveCD .iso file on a partition is it posible to then have grub boot from that partition as if it where the LiveCD?
[06:02] <ramasdf123> ok
[06:02] <ramasdf123> dev05, ok
[06:02] <ramasdf123> dev05, thanks
[06:03] <jamesstansell> ivx: "This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories due to licensing and legal restrictions. You can download the package from an unoffical repository and install it with dpkg"
[06:03] <Dev05> ramasdf123, I mean CAREFUL with what you uninstall. If you don't know what the package does, search information about in Google.
[06:03] <jamesstansell> ivx: automatix is one tool that automates the download and install for you.  Another one is easyubuntu.  I haven't used either myself.
[06:03] <BNOsaosin> door: i have 2 PCI video cards installed, ATI, nVidia...the ATI is what the install was set up with....i added the nvidia to try and get it working. i also have onboard intel video (on the mobo)
[06:04] <jamesstansell> !codec
[06:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:04] <jamesstansell> !w32codecs
[06:04] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:04] <ivx> jamesstansell: well how did you get w32codec to install?
[06:04] <door> BNOsaosin: ok...hm. i guess the first thing to do would be to install pciutils so we can find out if the computer even knows your new card exists
[06:05] <nrdb> ivx: do you have universe and mulitverse repsotories enabled?
[06:05] <door> so press / to search in aptitude, type pciutils, & press enter
[06:05] <door> BNOsaosin: so press / to search in aptitude, type pciutils, & press enter
[06:05] <jamesstansell> ivx: did you find the automatix or easyubuntu instructions? or did you read the instruction on the RestrictedFormats page?
[06:05] <ivx> nrdb: yes then i updated and tried to install
[06:05] <wweasel> I am compiling a program that requires the lastest version of libusb, which is not in the Dapper repo. I could compile libusb from source...or....would it be a bad idea to download the deb out of the Edgy repo?
[06:05] <door> BNOsaosin: then you can press + to mark it for installation and g g to install it...
[06:05] <BNOsaosin> door: ok, and install pciutils-dev?'
[06:06] <ivx> jamesstansell i am doing the one now i haven't gotten any error i'll see if it works
[06:06] <door> hmmm...press n to go to the next time it comes up
[06:06] <door> BNOsaosin: hmmm...press n to go to the next time it comes up
[06:06] <ramasdf123> dev05, Thanks again
[06:06] <door> BNOsaosin: i don't think you need the dev files
[06:06] <ramasdf123> dev05, do u know how to set VPN on ubuntu?
[06:06] <Dev05> ramasdf123, No problem!
[06:06] <wweasel> Guys? Would it be a bad idea to install a deb downloaded from the Edgy repo?
[06:06] <Dev05> ramasdf132, Nope. Sorry. Any VPN Geek here???
[06:06] <ramasdf123> dev05,  ubnutu forum didnt help
[06:06] <door> BNOsaosin: the program you're looking for is just pciutils
[06:07] <fishy> Ok, when I do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop," I get a whole giant list of dependencies. Why? I thought ubuntu-desktop was supposed to install those for me.
[06:07] <ramasdf123> kol kol
[06:07] <jamesstansell> ivx: w32codecs (and flash and their ilk) could impair the stability of your system.  Just something to be aware of
[06:07] <fishy> the torpedo god
[06:07] <door> BNOsaosin: actually, it may be easier to quit aptitude and type in "sudo aptitude install pciutils"
[06:07] <BNOsaosin> door: ugggg my wireless does not want to work in CLI :(
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> fishy,  thats what its saying.. it will install the needed dpeendencies
[06:07] <popupman> !wine
[06:07] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:07] <door> BNOsaosin: oh, jeez...that sucks. ok, do you use ndiswrapper or what?
[06:07] <wweasel> fishy: Ubuntu desktop is a meta-package, which is jsut a package which depends on alot of things. You install the dependencies.
[06:08] <BNOsaosin> door: will lspci give me the info i need?
[06:08] <door> BNOsaosin: hopefully
[06:08] <sebastian> \q
[06:08] <wweasel> Guys: Would installing an Edgy deb in Dapper be a bad idea?
[06:08] <BNOsaosin> door: indeed, ndis
[06:08] <ivx> jamesstansell i am just trying to play mp3s
[06:08] <argument> in gvim... why would CTRL-SHIFT-w s "not work" e.g. it just behaves like CTRL-SHIFT-w never happend and just does the literal 's' command. it just deletes the next letter and puts me in insert mode
[06:08] <fishy> Dr_Willis and wweasel: I know that. It doesn't let me install because it says it depends on those. "Depends on gnome-panel, but it is not going to be installed."
[06:08] <sebastian> quit
[06:08] <BNOsaosin> door: ok ill get out of here and run that cmd
[06:08] <door> BNOsaosin: ok...do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:08] <crimsun> wweasel: yes.
[06:08] <wweasel> crimsun: Argh...then I need to compile it from source :(
[06:08] <jamesstansell> ivx: the helixplayer project is expected to support the windows codecs before long, possibly by the end of the year.  If that really happens, then they could possibly be supported from at least multiverse by ubuntu 7.04
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> fishy,  you dident MENTION tha tlast part. :P
[06:08] <tuxar> sebastian, use /leave #ubuntu
[06:09] <door> BNOsaosin: and after you've modprobed it, try this:  sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup wlan0
[06:09] <jamesstansell> ivx: just mp3s?  I don't think you would need w32codecs for that
[06:09] <fishy> Dr_Willis: So what's wrong? Will I have to install Ubuntu for the 5th time?
[06:09] <sebastia1> hello
[06:09] <door> ivx: search for mp3 in synaptic
[06:09] <Deaigo> how do i setup the java vnc viewer on ubuntu?
[06:10] <ivx> door: search for it in what
[06:10] <lownoma925> My brother is having trouble with his wireless card on his new ubuntu installation. (Toshiba Satelite)
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> fishy,  i would guess the package system some how is confused.    theres some options to apt-get ya can use.. but ive rarely ever needed them. to force the isntalls
[06:10] <lownoma925> Can anyone point him in the right direction
[06:10] <door> ivx: synaptic is the package manager you use to install programs
[06:10] <ivx> door nver mind
[06:10] <wweasel> door, ivx: I think ivx needs gstreamer0.10-mad
[06:10] <sebastia1> can anyone help me to downgrade my linux kernel ?
[06:10] <sebastia1> using xubuntu 6.06.1
[06:10] <ivx> door yeah according to synapitc it is installed
[06:10] <BNOsaosin> door: haha ok, i got the wireless up and running....i tried a ping and forgot to limit it haha how do i stop it
[06:11] <door> BNOsaosin: control-c
[06:11] <fishy> Dr_Willis: "The following actions will resolve these dependencies: | Downgrade the following packages: | capplets-data [1:2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 1:2.14.1-0ubuntu11 (dapper)]  | gnome-applets-data [2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 (dapper)]  | gnome-panel-data [2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.14.1-0ubuntu16 (dapper)]  | gnome-terminal-data [2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (now) -> 2.14.1-0ubuntu1 (dapper)]  | Score is -310
[06:11] <quintin> What is an idiot proof bit torrent client/
[06:11] <BNOsaosin> ahh ok...i will install pciutils...brb
[06:11] <quintin> ?
[06:11] <fishy> "
[06:11] <door> BNOsaosin: that's the command to forcibly kill a command-line program
[06:11] <door> quintin: bittornado
[06:11] <jamesstansell> deaigo: do you have sun-java installed?
[06:11] <door> BNOsaosin: kk
[06:11] <quintin> door: neat-o
[06:11] <door> quintin: :-)
[06:11] <Deaigo> jamesstansell yeh yeh
[06:11] <quintin> is emule not in any repositories?
[06:12] <fishy> Dr_Willis: Should I accept it or not?
[06:12] <jman8888> Is there a way to have shockwave in ubuntu? (Not flash i already have that but shockwave stuff wont work)_
[06:12] <Deaigo> i just want to open my browser and goto ubuntu:5800 and use the java screen
[06:12] <el_taco> ok this is getting frustrating. I can't find info on how to change the applications menu. can anyone point me in the right direction.
[06:12] <BNOsaosin> door: done
[06:12] <eugman> Hey, how can I see the list of games I've installed from the terminal? Also is nethack much fun?
[06:12] <argument> quintin, ktorrent
[06:12] <Dr_Willis> fishy,  ive rarely had things break like that..    so cant really tell ya.
[06:12] <jamesstansell> ivx: the main package you need installed is gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[06:12] <argument> quintin, is teh best IMO
[06:12] <tuxar> el_taco, use alacarte
[06:12] <lownoma925> It says in the device manager that eth1 is unknown but it detects it as his wifi card
[06:13] <ushooz> jman8888: not without using wine and a hackish method
[06:13] <el_taco> tuxar: that installed by default?
[06:13] <IcemanV9> jman8888: unforunately, there is none (shockwave) for linux
[06:13] <door> BNOsaosin: here's something you can do, too, that might make this a li'l easier (sorry this is taking so long)...sudo aptitude install irssi. then press alt+f2 to go to another shell
[06:13] <fishy> Dr_Willis: If anything goes wrong, it'll just be another reason to reinstall. :)
[06:13] <door> BNOsaosin: so then you won't have to go back and forth
[06:13] <el_taco> tuxar: i'm blind sorry
[06:13] <sebastia1> anyone ?
[06:13] <el_taco> tuxar: thanks :)
[06:13] <door> BNOsaosin: and then you might go ahead and try lspci
[06:13] <tuxar> el_taco, nevermind
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> fishy,  normally the first thing i do on a ubuntu install is install kubuntu-desktop and several dozen other packages.. rarely have issues.  and of coruse if ya know the apt-get systme- you proberly wouldent need to reinstall.
[06:14] <jamesstansell> Deaigo: you probably need the vnc server installed for that.  I'm not familiar with the current packaging
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> apt-get is oneof those things thats worth learning. and learning well
[06:14] <IcemanV9> jman8888: like ushooz said, it is possible with wine
[06:14] <Deaigo> kk
[06:14] <Deaigo> i have vnc running
[06:14] <BNOsaosin> door: done
[06:14] <Deaigo> just with out the java thingo
[06:14] <jman8888> ushooz, ? How will i still be able to have firefox?
[06:14] <KanRiNiN> Hi guys.  I'm trying to remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package so I can install the new driver, and apt-get keeps returning an "error 2"
[06:14] <lownoma925> Can anyone help me with a laptop wireless card issue?
[06:15] <jman8888> ushooz, How do i do it?
[06:15] <jamesstansell> deaigo: tightvnc?
[06:15] <Deaigo> the one that comes with it
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use the vnc4server/viewer
[06:15] <Deaigo> libvnc or something
[06:15] <jamesstansell> Deaigo: looks like the package would be tightvnc-java
[06:16] <door> BNOsaosin: ok...so in that other terminal you can go ahead and log into irssi...type irssi and then type /connect freenode, then /join #ubuntu...then you won't have to switch computers. and for lspci, do you see your card in the output?
[06:16] <Deaigo> yeh i installed
[06:16] <Deaigo> vnc-java and tightvnc-java
[06:16] <BNOsaosin> yep its properly recognized
[06:16] <cynikal> lownoma925: whats the problem?
[06:16] <BNOsaosin> door: brb on irssi
[06:16] <Fracture> are there any problems with installing the latest NVIDIA driver, that nvidia provides on their site ?
[06:16] <jamesstansell> does nx have a java client?
[06:16] <door> BNOsaosin: shiny
[06:16] <er4z0r> hi
[06:16] <sebastia1> so can anyone tell me how to downgrade my kernel ? Synaptic->Force version is somehow disabeld
[06:17] <tuxar> door, are you using konversation ?
[06:17] <cynikal> sebastia1: why would you want to?
[06:17] <ushooz> jman8888: easiest way is something like Crossover. Google wine + shackwave 10
[06:17] <ushooz> shockwave 10
[06:17] <door> tuxar: no, irssi
[06:17] <wweasel> I'm having a problem. I need to update libusb to the latest stable version x.x.12, when the repos has x.x.10. I think I am supposed to uninstall libusb before compiling and installing the new version. But a bunch of packages depend on it...
[06:17] <door> tuxar: why?
[06:18] <door> wweasel: here's a neat trick
[06:18] <tuxar> door, because when I use konversation puts the name and : after it, just curiosity
[06:18] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: hola
[06:18] <door> tuxar: sweet
[06:18] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: hallo!
[06:18] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: just a sec
[06:18] <K-tron> wildest imagination news story-- google buys transgaming, renames cedega 'Gega' and makes it free as in freedom
[06:19] <BNOsaosin-tux> door:np :)
[06:19] <door> wweasel: actually...i'm sorry. i don't actually know how the trick works with libraries
[06:19] <wweasel> door: the other option was, I noticed the latest version is in the Edgy repo. But that sounded like a bad idea from the get-go.
[06:20] <jman8888> Im gonna try it with wine
[06:20] <lownoma925> Anyone knowledgeable with toshiba laptops?
[06:20] <door> wweasel: you might try reading the man page for dpkg-divert
[06:20] <IcemanV9> ushooz: ?? just install win32 fx with wine, then install win32 shockwave, right?
[06:20] <door> wweasel: which can let you rename a program so when you install a different version, they won't conflict
[06:20] <wweasel> door: Perhaps I could compile it into a .deb file? but I don't know how to do that.
[06:21] <door> wweasel: ask if anybody knows how to divert a library to a new name
[06:21] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: ok...let's look at your xorg.conf
[06:21] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: ok
[06:21] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:21] <wweasel> door: I don't think I need to keep the old version...
[06:21] <door> wweasel: the thing is, this way all the ubuntu apps that depend on it won't break
[06:22] <door> wweasel: :-/
[06:22] <ushooz> IcemanV9: not familiar with win32 fx. I have only ever tried Crossover a long time ago. I have not great need of Shockwave Director stuff
[06:22] <door> wweasel: if i may ask, why do you need the new version?
[06:22] <IcemanV9> on another box, i installed win32 fx (including flash9) so my wife can watch the Lost show from ABC video.
[06:22] <wweasel> door: libmtp depends on the latest version of libusb.
[06:23] <wweasel> door: I need libmtp to get my MTP Music Player to work :P
[06:23] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: for some reason, the device is listed as my integrated video card...not what i installed with
[06:23] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: ok...find "section device"--specifically, the device section with your card in it. does it exist?
[06:23] <glick> hey does anyone have a platinum dlink N series wireless card working with linux?
[06:23] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: only 1 device, the one i stated
[06:23] <door> wweasel: are you trying to install libmtp manually (not in the repos)?
[06:23] <wweasel> door: It does not exist in the rpos.
[06:23] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: is there another section with you new one in it?
[06:24] <door> wweasel: aha
[06:24] <tomasz27> Can I run Dreamweaver 8 under Ubuntu?
[06:24] <BNOsaosin-tux> glick: running pre-n?
[06:24] <door> wweasel: ok, try this
[06:24] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: no
[06:24] <glick> BNOsaosin what do you mean?
[06:24] <door> wweasel: apt-cache search libusb
[06:24] <door> wweasel: do you see one with "dev" after it?
[06:24] <wweasel> door: I was thinking, what if I compiled the latest version of libusb into deb? Then I could just install the deb and have it replace the old version cleanly.
[06:24] <glick> im thinkin of getting this card: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7843701&type=product&id=1142298456843
[06:24] <wweasel> door: yep
[06:24] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: ok...let's try writing you one, then :-)
[06:25] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: haha agreed
[06:25] <quintin> can someon e tell me a wireless pcmcia card that won't be a total pain in the ass?
[06:25] <IcemanV9> tomasz27: maybe with wine - check out @ winehq app db (winehq.org)
[06:25] <door> first, get into aptitude
[06:25] <tomasz27> THX
[06:25] <door> and search for nvidia (/ is search, n is search again)
[06:25] <sebastia1> tuxar: because with kernel <IP_ADDRESS> my laptop was working correctly
[06:25] <sebastia1> now with <IP_ADDRESS> is not ... network lags, sound is broken :(
[06:25] <sebastia1>
[06:25] <quintin> Any reason that a wifi adapter that is somewhat working would not work when run through a usb hub ?
[06:25] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: what am i looking for
[06:25] <door> wweasel: ok, do sudo aptitude install libusb-dev or whatever
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> not enough power quintin  perhaps.
[06:26] <wweasel> door: It's already installed.
[06:26] <door> wweasel: for serious? criminy
[06:26] <wweasel> door: I installed it yesterday
[06:26] <door> wweasel: i don't know what to say, then
[06:26] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: just a sec, let me look
[06:26] <secleinteer> does any1 know why i'm not getting any video by default when playing xvid avi's? i recently installed ubuntu
[06:26] <wweasel> door: Does my idea of compiling the source of the latest into a .deb make sense?
[06:26] <secleinteer> i just hear the sound
[06:26] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: sure, ty again
[06:27] <secleinteer> this happens in vlc and mplayer
[06:27] <door> wweasel: i don't think it would make a difference
[06:27] <wweasel> door: Alright. Well, thanks for the help.
[06:27] <JKoder> sorry of i repeat but i have huge network lags
[06:27] <BNOsaosin-tux> secleinteer: i had that problen, try running easy ubuntu (search google)
[06:27] <door> wweasel: try installing it just plain
[06:27] <JKoder> ... how to downgrade my kernel :((
[06:27] <secleinteer> what exactly am i missing?
[06:27] <ZeronenoreZ> my mouth theme 'whiteglass' always have a white line!
[06:27] <wweasel> door: Well, I can't have two versions of libusb installed at the same time...
[06:27] <door> wweasel: with ./configure; make; sudo make install (etc.)
[06:27] <secleinteer> i know how to install stuff, this isn't my first ubuntu install
[06:28] <BNOsaosin-tux> secleinteer: not sure, but i know that script solved my problem
[06:28] <door> wweasel: you might could, actually
[06:28] <secleinteer> k
[06:28] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: try xserver-xorg-driver-nvidia
[06:28] <door> no
[06:28] <wweasel> door: I could get away with it, but how would I instruct things to use the latest one (in /usr/local) instead of the old one in /usr
[06:28] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: i mean, nv
[06:28] <shinobi2> http://rafb.net/paste/results/qMO0aq33.html  i tried to compile but got this error
[06:28] <wweasel> door: and the uninstall the old one
[06:28] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: search NV?
[06:28] <door> so sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-nv
[06:29] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: so sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-driver-nv
[06:29] <IcemanV9> secleinteer: probably some plugins that you need to install -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:29] <door> wweasel: uninstalling it will do bad bad things to ubuntu, even if you install a new one
[06:29] <chrono13> Does anyone have any advice for a good graphics card (preferably sub $100). I'm replacing a GeforceFX 5200. My mothers system doesn't seen to be up to spec to Wine "Dreamfall - Longest Journey 2". Has anyone ran it in Wine successfully, if so, what card were you using? If nothing else.. anyone have any suggestions for a lower end card that would be better than the FX 5200?
[06:29] <door> wweasel: i suggest posting on the forums
[06:29] <door> wweasel: before uninstalling it
[06:29] <wweasel> door: You think updating to the latest version will do bad things?
[06:30] <linux__alien> i ve a problem with Ubuntu. my Loopback interface does not start up at all but i am able to connect to the internet. i use pppoe to connect to the internet
[06:30] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: done, i think i already had it
[06:30] <wweasel> door: I am gonna try it, and if I have any instability I'll revert.
[06:30] <door> wweasel: the thing is, ubuntu won't consider it an update
[06:30] <linux__alien> could someone help me out?
[06:30] <linux__alien> Hi e-type
[06:30] <door> wweasel: all those other packages specifically depend on the one in the ubuntu repos
[06:30] <wweasel> door: That's why I'm thinking, if I can get the latest version in a .deb, ubuntu might consider it an update to the old one in the repos.
[06:30] <linux__alien> e-type, as you said i modified the interface file and removed the auto keyword before eth0 now my resolv.conf does not get updated since i had that problem on the other day
[06:30] <MystaMax> how do i create a shortcut to my windows box? I'm trying to cut out the process of going to Places and then connect to network server. Is this possible?
[06:31] <tomasz27> what can I use Vmware for?
[06:31] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: k...try the same for nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-kernel-source
[06:31] <tomasz27> sorry, kinda new to Linux
[06:31] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: k
[06:31] <linux__alien> Now i dont see my loop back interface starting at all
[06:31] <ushooz> chrono13: 6600 NVidia series should fit the bill
[06:31] <shinobi2> anyone got kdevelop to work on ubuntu
[06:31] <K-tron> Dev05, here goes, with one, definitely good SATA drive connected and that's it for hard drives... You have no idea how much I want this to work heh
[06:31] <chrono13> Thanks ushooz : )
[06:32] <thiago__> How to play Age of empires 2. The wine were very low
[06:32] <door> wweasel: it's not a deb period that ubuntu's looking for...i *really* think you should post your question before doing that
[06:32] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: anything?
[06:32] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: its asking me to downgrade
[06:32] <BNOsaosin-tux> Door: should i
[06:32] <jamesstansell> secleinteer: you may need to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
[06:32] <BNOsaosin-tux> for -source
[06:32] <wweasel> door: Alright, thanks
[06:32] <Ampsonic> what is a "sock"
[06:32] <Dev05> K-tron, Wow SATA! Cool. I saw their connectors, they look better that the big IDE's :)
[06:32] <door> noaXess_kubuntu: adking you to downgrade what?
[06:32] <glick> how do i know if i have cardbus or pcmcia?
[06:33] <MystaMax> anyone?
[06:33] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: libc6
[06:33] <BNOsaosin-tux> and libc6-i686
[06:33] <jamesstansell> secleinteer: according to http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html
[06:33] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: hmmmmmmmmm
[06:33] <door> try substituting apt-get for aptitude
[06:33] <IcemanV9> tomasz27: vmware is like you can install other OS on the top of host OS (in ur case, ubuntu)
[06:33] <secleinteer> ok thx
[06:33] <secleinteer> i'll try that
[06:33] <door> actually
[06:33] <Dev05> MystaMax, Just create a link to your drive, folder or file.
[06:33] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: try doing sudo apt-get update
[06:34] <Ampsonic> What is a sock?
[06:34] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: and then try substituting apt-get for aptitude in the install command
[06:34] <Dev05> MystaMax, Right-Click -> Make Link
[06:34] <K-tron> Dev05, yeah, I have a bunch of sata drives, the cables alone make them worth it, especially since sata drives commonly cost about the same as ide's
[06:34] <jamesstansell> secleinteer: or possibly try totem-xine or gxine
[06:34] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: ok its getting it now
[06:34] <Dev05> K-tron, Send me one!!!
[06:34] <door> so it's working fine?
[06:34] <MystaMax> Dev05, I receive an error that says, "Error, Unsupported operation" while creating a link to "smb://windowsbox/media"
[06:34] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: so it's not asking you to downgrade?
[06:34] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: looks like evrything is up to date
[06:35] <secleinteer> gxine?
[06:35] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: no not now
[06:35] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: sweet...go ahead and go "sudo apt-get upgrade," though
[06:35] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: that will update the rest of your system
[06:35] <thiago__> How to play Age of empires 2 ?? wine is very slow
[06:35] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: let me know when you're done, i guess...
[06:35] <BNOsaosin-tux> done
[06:35] <door> oh, sweet. ok
[06:35] <jamesstansell> secleinteer: it was listed on the RestrictedFormats page
[06:35] <K-tron> Dev05, gah, it looks like it's hanging still in the same place
[06:35] <jamesstansell> !gxine
[06:35] <ubotu> gxine: the xine video player, GTK+/Gnome user interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-0ubuntu15 (dapper), package size 301 kB, installed size 804 kB
[06:36] <K-tron> Dev05 and this hard drive is definitely good, it was running winxp < 20 minutes ago
[06:36] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: ok, now back up your xorg.conf file (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[06:36] <secleinteer> i'm on kde
[06:36] <door> )
[06:36] <Exdaix> Does anyone have an easy How-To for XGL/Compiz on the latest Ubuntu?
[06:36] <linux__alien> i ve a weird problem with ubuntu i dont see my Loop back interface starting at all. I am using pppoe to connect to the internet and i had a problem on the other day where in my resolv.conf was getting automatically updated after i get connected to the internet with some nameserver IP so i removed the auto keyword before the eth0 entry in the interface file '
[06:36] <secleinteer> and that gstreamer plugin didn't helppp
[06:36] <Dev05> MystaMax, Try in your desktop: Right-Click -> Create Launcher... In the Command field in the dialog that appeared type: nautilus "smb://windowsbox/media"
[06:36] <linux__alien> could some one help me please?
[06:36] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: and then do sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:36] <linux__alien> should i remove the auto keyword before the lo interface also in the interface file?
[06:36] <Dev05> MystaMac, Hold on, KDE or GNOME???
[06:36] <Dev05> MystaMax...
[06:37] <MystaMax> Dev05, Gnome, sorry
[06:37] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: awiting orders :)
[06:37] <Dev05> MystaMax, so yeah, that's what you have to do.
[06:37] <jamesstansell> secleinteer: for kubuntu: "In addition to the default Kaffeine player, you could try KMplayer and Codeine"
[06:37] <MystaMax> Dev05, ok, i'll try it now
[06:37] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: lol. heirarchies are evil--i don't give orders (on purpose)
[06:38] <glick> lemme put it this way, whats a good G wireless card that supports WPA in ubuntu?
[06:38] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: your orders > my blind ambition
[06:38] <BNOsaosin-tux> :)
[06:38] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: so now go to the section for your old card (i warn you, i'm kind of making this as i go along)
[06:38] <door> BNOsaosin-tux: lol
[06:38] <secleinteer> k
[06:38] <K-tron> So yeah, the installer still hangs for me at this point.... Oh wait! if all I have are sata drives, do I need to pass a kernel parameter when the livecd loads, like 'doscsi' or something?
[06:38] <secleinteer> i'll try kaffeine right now
[06:38] <BNOsaosin-tux> door: ok cool
[06:38] <Fracture>  woohoo.. nvidia 1.0-8774 seems to fix the crashing problem in my X server :()
