[07:23] <netham45> is there something that goes deeper than ntfsfix?
[07:23] <RabidWeezle> all quake engine games have this problem, lemme look you up the fix I found on one site, that worked... hold on EdwardXp3
[07:23] <RabidWeezle> I'll pm it to you
[07:24] <EdwardXp3> ok
[07:24] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ntpd'  It can't start if it's not installed :)
[07:24] <greeg> Gnea: sorry im a Dia n00b.  are you talking about my diagram lines?
[07:25] <greeg> i set the (x,y) grid spacing to .254
[07:26] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: for some reason apt thinks that if I remove ntp it has to remove mythtv-database, mysql-server, mythtv-backend, mysql-server-5.0  so I can't do that...
[07:26] <greeg> and again in 7.254  (tried with both small and large scales).  no change
[07:26] <Gnea> greeg: the blue lines pretty much tell you size of the page
[07:26] <bullgard4> www.linux-magazine.com/issue/80/Linux_Magazine_DVD_Inlay.pdf: "The ubuntu taskbar will alert you when updates are available." Is the term 'Ubuntu taskbar' another name for 'Gnome panel'?
[07:27] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: As for your cron job.. '*/10 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate <server>' will run it every 10 minutes.  Add it to root's crontab though, since ntpdate needs root privileges
[07:28] <greeg> Gnea: yes, i took notice.  how can i expand the Blue lines.
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> i set up a simple NFS share, how come i can delete all files in it on the client but i can't edit a file on the client that was made on the server?
[07:28] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Darn.. ok.. what's your runlevel?  2?
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> make sense?
[07:29] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: isn't there a ubuntu sysconfig-service kind of thing to just tell it to not run?
[07:30] <Gnea> greeg: zoom in and shrink the icons
[07:31] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Yeah.. I've never used it.. Not sure if it controls services just for your login session, or system wide, but it's under system>administration>services.
[07:32] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Ok.. Yeah, I think that's what you want.. It's definately system wide
[07:33] <greeg> Gnea: ok i gotcha.  so the page lines are constant.  Im zoomed in, but how do i shrink my drawing ?
[07:35] <greeg> the use case icons wont shrink any furthar
[07:35] <greeg> when shrinking via the handles that is
[07:35] <Smegzor> When I created my ubuntu login, I elected to have my home directory viewable by others.  Now I've changed my mind, but I'd like shared folders in my home dir accessible.   Anyone have any ideas?
[07:36] <jetscreamer> apt-get install k3b
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> i've never seen an option to share /home during install, you talking about ubuntu??
[07:36] <Smegzor> yep
[07:36] <jetscreamer> !info k3b

[07:37] <chris062689> Is anyone having problems with Wubi?
[07:37] <chris062689> After I installed Wubi and went into Ubuntu, it went to a crawl, I couldn't even move my mouse for 2 minutes.         If you don't like Linux, leave.
[07:40] <jetscreamer> use k3b
[07:40] <kenboo> I use growisofs to burn iso.
[07:40] <tgelter> I'm running a lenovo t61 with the nv140 integraded video. I want to use a higher resolution on my tty's but can't seem to do so, can anyone explain what I need to do?
[07:40] <kounryusui> levander: download the development tarball from the Songbird page  and extract it anywhere you please - that was all if I remember right
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> i set up a simple NFS share, how come i can delete all files in it on the client but i can't edit a file on the client that was made on the server?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> vga=0x318 in the kopts or default options in menu.lst , tgelter
[07:41] <kenboo> kindofabuzz:  does uid matches?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> or vga=someting
[07:41] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I've tried that, I end up with a black screen
[07:41] <DeadLy_sp> morning
[07:41] <jetscreamer> 0x318 is good for me
[07:41] <jetscreamer> try 317
[07:41] <kenboo> kindofabuzz:  not just by login name, the numeric uid must agree on both the server and client.
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> no, on server i'm 1001, on client i'm 1000, but how did i have permission to delete them?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> 0x317 ... bu
[07:42] <DeadLy_sp> hey, is possible change my current theme from bash?
[07:42] <greeg> Gnea: objects -> simple scaling did the trick, but newly droped figures aren't consistant. hmm
[07:42] <jetscreamer> tgelter: apt-get install hwinfo && hwinfo --framebuffer
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> i guess when a file is written to the export folder it's actually transfered to the client?
[07:42] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Yes
[07:43] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I ran that and got no output
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> so when i do a ls on the server i'm actually ls'n the client?
[07:43] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Well... No.. sorry.. it's written to the server, but the client has access to it immediately due to the nfs mount
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> but how come i don't have permission to edit a file?
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> form the client
[07:44] <jetscreamer> tgelter: you added sudo to the apt-get eh, and you 'might' have to turn off xorg... there's either a version of, or conditions met, that stop hwinfo from doing it's job
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> from
[07:44] <_coredump_> hi, my laptop display stays black when i close and open it, how can i configure it so the display works when i open the display?
[07:44] <kenboo> it's just basic permission problem. check by ls -n
[07:44] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: as kenboo said.. Your UIDs have to match.. not just the names
[07:44] <kindofabuzz> so there is a permission to let me delete it but not edit?
[07:44] <jetscreamer> tgelter: you might also need to do it in console.. not sure 'just works'(tm) for me
[07:44] <cory__> Anyone here play Counterstrike on ubuntu?
[07:45] <_coredump_> yeah cory__ i do play cs:s on ubuntu
[07:45] <kenboo> I
[07:45] <kindofabuzz> people still play cs? wow, i didn't think it was still around
[07:45] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: That would be very rare, but possible, yes... If you have write access but not read then you'd be able to delete it, but not open it
[07:45] <cory__> Do you use Wine?
[07:45] <_coredump_> cory__, of course
[07:46] <kindofabuzz> ok is there any downfalls to changing uid on the client?
[07:46] <cory__> Do you get decent framerates?
[07:46] <jetscreamer> tgelter: yeah it works for root in console, not user in xterm
[07:46] <SpaceAviator> can someone tell me whats on the top of the desktop in this screenshot? http://hewphoria.com/themes/lyrae/Nova/nova.jpg
[07:46] <jetscreamer> a nova?
[07:46] <kenboo> besides, I'd setup ldap (or nis...) so that such problem won't happen
[07:46] <FourX4Luvn> Nova is the theme ;-)
[07:46] <cory__> I get about 15-20 and i have an 8800GT, and my usb sound doesnt work
[07:46] <cory__> do you have any ideas?
[07:46] <theHive> cory__: is compiz enabled?
[07:46] <_coredump_> cory__, i have 10% less frames than with winxp...70-120fps with wine
[07:47] <cory__> I dont have compiz
[07:47] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Is it perhaps conky with an odd theme?
[07:47] <kindofabuzz> will changing uid mess up anything?
[07:47] <tgelter> jetscreamer: well, my ttys are broken right now...just black like I mentioned =)
[07:47] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: conky?!
[07:47] <cory__> This is really a fresh install
[07:47] <theHive> cor__ compiz comes default now
[07:47] <tgelter> can I use nvidiafb with ubuntu?
[07:47] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Yes, you're referring to the system stats bar, yes?
[07:47] <jetscreamer> no
[07:47] <cory__> Eh. How would i tell if Compiz was enabled?
[07:48] <jetscreamer> tgelter: that's more for like riva's
[07:48] <cory__> Im still new to ubuntu. this is my first day
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> hold your windowns key and hit 2 cory, did it zoom?
[07:48] <cory__> yea
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> compiz is on
[07:48] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I don't know how to get my tty resolution up then, cause I'm just ending up with the black screen
[07:48] <cory__> can i just kill the process? or do i have to disable it somewhere
[07:48] <theHive> cory__ run "metacity --replace" in the terminal to disable it, and "compiz --replace" to re-enable it
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> that's one of the many options
[07:48] <theHive> without the "s obviously
[07:49] <cory__> kk
[07:49] <jetscreamer> tgelter: try vga=774 maybe
[07:49] <jetscreamer> tgelter: or vga=ask
[07:49] <cory__> Ok,
[07:49] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, are you just getting a blank cursor?
[07:49] <cory__> any idea about the USB headset not working?
[07:49] <tgelter> jetscreamer: I'll try that, thanks!
[07:49] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: yeah, exactly
[07:50] <cory__> It works withing ubuntu but not CS
[07:50] <tgelter> kindofabozz: and it'll move if I type
[07:50] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: yes the bar on top
[07:50] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: The pointy-clicky way of doing that is under system>preferences>appearance visual affects tab

[07:50] <CVD-PR> para los q les interese Unix Toolbox:  http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml
[07:50] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Not sure that's what it is, but it's all I can think of offhand
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, go to your services and make sure terminal multiplexor is on
[07:51] <lkthomas> hey guys
[07:51] <cory__> Thanks Four, i prefer Terminal though
[07:51] <lkthomas> any backup tools are you guys using ?
[07:51] <lkthomas> I am using bacula, but resotre is slow as hell
[07:51] <lkthomas> restore *
[07:51] <cory__> I wont get very far in ubuntu with pointy clicky
[07:52] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: I don't see it listed
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> partimage is good lkthomas
[07:52] <lkthomas> hmm
[07:52] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: http://maketecheasier.com/backing-up-data-in-ubuntu-using-sbackup/2007/12/08
[07:52] <lkthomas> partimage need to take the server offline
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> hmm, well that's how i fixed mine, it was offfor some reason, turned it back on and i had tty again
[07:52] <cory__> I have another question youg uys might know the answer to, when i run wine config the screen is way to large to see it all, can i drop the resolution on that window some how
[07:52] <xanderp> is there a setting to use hardware or software based clock?  wondering if that is what is different in my ubuntu install vs. my fedora install.  maybe I'm using a different clock?
[07:52] <lkthomas> I don't have gui on ubuntu
[07:52] <lkthomas> it is a server
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> yea, but good
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> hi
[07:53] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: Ahh.. rsync then?
[07:53] <xanderp> I wonder if my bios clock is accurate, but the 'os' cpu based clock is screwey
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> darkus@ubuntu:~$ nmap -O -P0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> TCP/IP fingerprinting (for OS scan) requires root privileges.  Sorry, dude.
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> what shoud i do ?
[07:53] <the_alamo> can anyone suggest an app that organizes movies?
[07:53] <kindofabuzz> i use systemrescuecd 1.0, it has all kinds of goodies like partimage
[07:53] <FourX4Luvn> Dark_Shadow: use 'sudo'
[07:53] <Starnestommy> Dark_Shadow: run it with sudo
[07:53] <Dark_Shadow> ok
[07:54] <Dark_Shadow> thkx bro
[07:54] <cory__> Anyone know of a way to get USB sound to work with wine?
[07:54] <lkthomas> what does rsync have anything to do with backup ?!
[07:55] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: do you know what the init script is called?
[07:55] <bashca> hi there
[07:55] <FourX4Luvn> umm
[07:55] <kindofabuzz> t, hang on
[07:55] <lkthomas> I think you don't understand what is "Backup" means ?
[07:55] <xjohnthomasx> hi.. can anyone help me?? my APPLICATIONS drop down menu won't show my programs. the PLACES and SYSTEM drop down menus work fine. i have tried everything, from new account logging in, to clearing all panel files, to clearing all gnome files, to reinstalling all gnome related apps, ... i am at a loss why this BIZARRE error is occurring!!!
[07:55] <FourX4Luvn> lkthomas: You're kidding right?
[07:56] <lkthomas> Four: did you ever do messive backup on production env ?
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> tgelter, i think it's just screen
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> that's what is in ()
[07:57] <tgelter> kindofabuzz: what will that accomplish? (turning it on)
[07:57] <nikolam> Hi, I installed xubuntu and later I added GNOME environment. Now, when I switch user, Window manager (metacity) for that user does not start automatically. How to set window manager for a user and how to make it start automacically when GNOME is started?
[07:57] <DJ_HaMsTa> any one know of a program similar to cpanel but free for ubuntu or linux itself ?
[07:57] <kindofabuzz> thwhen i turned it on, my virtual terms worked again, i used to get blank screen
[07:58] <Starnestommy> DJ_HaMsTa: ebox?
[08:00] <tag> so I can't update, every time I try to run the update manager I get an error about one of the package configurations.  I've had 8 updates pending for the last several days.  Is this problem local to my machine?
[08:00] <nikolam> tag: what version of ubuntu do you use?
[08:01] <tag> gutsy
[08:01] <cory__> I still havent been able to find my windows partition
[08:01] <cory__> i think it got overwritten
[08:01] <tag> cory__: well you're a linux user now!
[08:01] <tag> :-D
[08:02] <jetscreamer> fdisk -l
[08:02] <jetscreamer> cory__:
[08:02] <nikolam> tag: what is the error message? (past via pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ if it is too long)
[08:02] <tag> dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `Debian-exim' in statoverride file
[08:02] <kindofabuzz> ok change my uid, how do i change group id? or do i need to?
[08:02] <matt____> Hello, been poking around with 8.04 and cannot get sound working with my emu10k1 card, previous releases have been problem free, but now can't seem to get this thing working at all. Is this a known issue?
[08:02] <nikolam> corry__: try df -h
[08:02] <tag> I tried removing exim naturally, no effect.
[08:03] <xjohnthomasx> hi, does anyone have ideas as to why my APPLICATIONS drop down menu won't show??????
[08:03] <jetscreamer> you could try installing alsa-tools and see if that helps
[08:03] <jetscreamer> or alsatools i forget
[08:03] <matt____> Ok, I'll give that a go
[08:03] <jetscreamer> - i think
[08:03] <nikolam> matt____, Questions for unstable and testing versions of Ubuntu on channel #ubuntu+1 , please
[08:04] <tag> nikolam: I take it this is my problem?
[08:04]  * tag rolls up his dpkg hacking sleeves
[08:04] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: any ideas about why my applications drop down menu won't drop down????
[08:05] <matt____> nikolam: thanks, (they should note that in the release notes, they just list #ubuntu)
[08:05] <kindofabuzz> try google?
[08:05] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: it just highlights, and nothing shows. then when i go to control center, and click main menu, it processes, and then nothing loads up.. ?
[08:06] <nikolam> tag, I had some problems with some package installs myself, when i was installing from sources outside repository.
[08:06] <tag> nikolam: No outside repositories here...well, other than oracle's, which has one package in it
[08:06] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, no idea. What environment do you use? gnome?
[08:06] <xjohnthomasx> gnome
[08:07] <tag> nikolam: it was an easy fix, I simply removed exim from the stat-overrides
[08:07] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: gnome. the problem has baffled many people. it's totally weird.
[08:07] <nikolam> tag, nice :)
[08:07] <tag> that "Debian-exim" looked like a typo anyway, a capitol letter in a group name?
[08:07] <tag> I think not
[08:07] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, what version of ubuntu do you have installed?
[08:07] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: 7.10
[08:07] <themime> i had ispconfig installed, realized i didn't really need it (i basically wanted to play around with it) and ran the uninstall; i wonder if it messed with it and didn't change it back. theres some vhost stuff left over from it, is there a process that i can go through to _actually_ uninstall it
[08:07] <tag> anyway, that was easy enough.  But it makes me think there is some kind of problem (or was some kind of problem, at some point) with the exim package.
[08:08] <tag> which I did install a few weeks ago, as a dependency to a local news server
[08:08] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, try to make a new user and log as that user. Look if something is different
[08:08] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: tried that. no difference.
[08:08] <tag> which I'm not using and can't remember the name of
[08:08] <tag> I typically don't run an MTA locally, it's kind of unnecessary
[08:09] <tag> besides exim sucks
[08:09] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, try ro reinstall gnome packages from synaptic
[08:09] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: completely reinstalled all gnome packages last night. no difference.
[08:09] <nikolam> tag, oh_
[08:09] <nikolam> I use xfce myself
[08:10] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: I did an experiment that was interesting:  I manually set time with ntpdate and set hwclock to the now accurate time.  I watch and my hwclock stays accurate to the ntpdate forced accurate time.  If I turn off the cron job, the system time drifts, but the hwclock remains accurate to pool.ntp.org time (as watched on another system)
[08:10] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, have you looked on ubuntu-forums.org ?
[08:10] <tag> gnome is pretty nice, really.  Too bad it's getting so bloated
[08:10] <ad_267> xjohnthomasx: try adding a "main menu" to your panel instead of a menu bar and see if that helps
[08:10] <penmissile> hey
[08:10] <penmissile> hello
[08:10] <tag> I'm totally looking forward to getting that extra 2gb stick I ordered in the mail
[08:10] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: what do you mean?
[08:11] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: do you know if there is a way to get ubuntu to use hwclock instead of cpu cycles to determine time?
[08:11] <penmissile> im super new to linux and ubuntu and im wondering about this firefox bug
[08:11] <xjohnthomasx> nikolam: i couldn't find the problem described anywhere
[08:11] <ad_267> right click on the panel and select add to panel
[08:11] <ad_267> and then choose main menu
[08:11] <penmissile> is this normal? where it goes black?
[08:11] <ad_267> it's down the bottom by utilities
[08:11] <penmissile> is there a fix?
[08:12] <nikolam> penmissile, what bug?
[08:12] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: i did that, and it adds, and i click it, and the drop down there shows "places" and "system", but no "applications"..
[08:12] <penmissile> i dunno i'll click on a link and it traces to dark
[08:12] <penmissile> with firefox...
[08:13] <ad_267> there should be a list of applications like games, graphics etc directly under that menu, very weird
[08:13] <nikolam> penmissile, I am not shure i understand
[08:13] <ad_267> try right clicking on the menu and choose edit menu
[08:13] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: yes, i know.. what should i do?? :)
[08:13] <penmissile> hmmm, well basically it freezes and the browser turns black...
[08:14] <ad_267> make sure you have some applications ticked
[08:14] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Is this a Dell laptop by chance?
[08:15] <xjohnthomasx> ad_267: i right click it, edit menu, it processes (spinning icon), and then it doesn't launch any applet in which to "tick" apps..
[08:15] <ad_267> xjhonthomasx: ok I'm a bit stumped then. If you've tried adding a new user and reinstalling gnome then I don't really know what else you can do
[08:15] <HFactor> can any one tell me how to make the 3GP sound working in ubuntu?
[08:15] <xanderp> nope... amd64 on a gigabyte mobo
[08:16] <HFactor> AMR audio to work??
[08:16] <theHive> xjohnthomasx: install alacarte (however you do that) i think
[08:16] <xjohnthomasx> theHive: what's alacarte?
[08:16] <theHive> the menu editor
[08:16] <penmissile> does anyone know why my other headphone jack won't work with ubuntu on a dell m1330?
[08:16] <Flannel> xjohnthomasx, theHive, alacarte is installed by default
[08:16] <theHive> wasn't for me
[08:16] <theHive> i had to install it with apt
[08:16] <Amaranth> theHive: Then you didn't install Ubuntu
[08:16] <xjohnthomasx> Flannel: it's already there. do you have any thoughts on my problem, though?
[08:16] <theHive> yes i did
[08:16] <theHive> im using it right now
[08:16] <Flannel> theHive: Dapper?
[08:17] <theHive> nope
[08:17] <theHive> 7.10
[08:17] <HFactor> AMR audio to work??
[08:17] <xjohnthomasx>  my APPLICATIONS drop down doesn't show!!   wtf???????
[08:17] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: the odd thing is that the system didn't have this problem on fedora.  I wonder if there's something else causing it. (something is causing the cpu to take too long to count time)
[08:17] <chalnhubby> we have a new HP7780 printer, my husband wants to be able to adjust whether it prints double or single side and whether portrait or landscape (direction) from his computer, easily. Can someone help me figure out how he can do this?
[08:17] <ad_267> do you have a file applications.menu in ~/.config/menus
[08:17] <nikolam> penmissile, look what version do you use, what ubuntu version do you use and you can also use alternate browers until you fix it, like iceape/seamonkey
[08:18] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: your menu is broken, thus alacarte fails to start because it cannot edit a broken menu
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> this problem is stumping everyone!!! who's the best in here? take a stab at this!
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: can you help?
[08:18] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: you need to go into ~/.config/menus and delete applications.menu
[08:18] <xjohnthomasx> one sec.. i think i alrady tried this, but i will do it again..
[08:18] <Flannel> theHive: Unless you removed it, that's not possible.  ubuntu-desktop depends on alacarte, as such, it's installed by default
[08:18] <penmissile> im using 7.10 not sure what kernel, all my linux nerds friends tweaked my system...
[08:18] <CB1> i've got a strange problem with ubuntu 7.10 server... my computer has 2 nics, eth0 works fine, eth1 doesn't want to work despite trying dhcp & static ips, 3 different nics, and several cables
[08:18] <theHive> Flannel: ok then, but i remember having issues with it and finding out it wasn't installed, so i dunno what happened then
[08:19] <chalnhubby> penmissile, ouch
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: i deleted it. now what? reboot the whole machine?
[08:19] <ross`_> is there a repo that you can download music/movies from? or no
[08:19] <Amaranth> xjohnthomasx: no, now click on your Applications menu
[08:19] <Slart> ross`_: I doubt it...
[08:19] <penmissile> hahah yeah im pretty hopeless... although i really love this OS
[08:19] <nikolam> penmissile, try to uninstall firefox from synaptic. And then install it again, this time from repository
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: it workkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:19] <kenboo> CB1:  what's the prob?
[08:19] <nikolam> xjohnthomasx, We are all happy for you :)
[08:19] <penmissile> is that in the addremove or the syanpic?
[08:19] <xjohnthomasx> Amaranth: brilllliantttt!!!
[08:20] <HFactor> can any one tell me how to make the 3GP sound working in ubuntu?
[08:20] <chalnhubby> we have a new HP7780 printer, my husband has Kubuntu Gutsy, i have Feisty,  my husband wants to be able to adjust whether it prints double or single side and whether portrait or landscape (direction) from his computer, easily. Can someone help me figure out how he can do this?
[08:20] <penmissile> synaptic*
[08:20] <CB1> kenboo: eth1 in my box isn't working... if i comment out all eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file, reboot, i can't ping anything on eth1's subnet
[08:20]  * Amaranth puts "add a failsafe mode to alacarte to clean up broken menus" on his TODO list
[08:20] <ross`_> anyone reccomend any games?
[08:20] <xjohnthomasx> thank you everyone.. im glad it was so simple.. geeeezzzz... good night for now
[08:20] <ad_267> ross'__: vegastrike
[08:20] <CB1> it's a vanilla install, so no special ip tables or routes
[08:20] <Amaranth> ross`_: savage, tremulous, padman
[08:20] <kenboo> CB1 well what does ifconfig -a say?
[08:21] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Yes, that is odd.  I haven't heard of ubuntu having any problems maintaining time.. Only thing I can think is perhaps looking into adjtimex to keep track of your clock drift.
[08:21] <Slart> ross`_: check out www.happypenguin.org . Lots of games for linux there
[08:21] <ad_267> urban terror, wormux
[08:21] <ross`_> what is vegastrike
[08:21] <penmissile> ohh i c thanks nikolam
[08:21] <ross`_> and what is savage, and padman
[08:21] <ad_267> it's a space flight / trading game
[08:21] <ross`_> also im in to rpg games, so if you know any good ones :)
[08:21] <CB1> kenboo: when in dhcp... it says it doesn't have an ip, when i statically assign an ip, it show the ip, but regardless, i can't ping anything on that subnet or see out to the internet
[08:22] <leo_rockw> hello everyone
[08:22] <Flannel> xanderp: ntpd is a wonderful thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html
[08:22] <ad_267> you fly around in a space ship and shoot people and make money by trading or doing bounty missions and lots of other fun stuff!
[08:22] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:22] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: will check on that...thanks for the help
[08:22] <Flannel> xanderp: The other OS probably had it installed by default.  Computers never keep proper time on their own, since there's so much variation in conditions and such.
[08:22] <chalnhubby> hr1
[08:22] <xanderp> Flannel: was using ntpd, but it wasn't working.
[08:23] <FourX4Luvn> Flannel: He has it running.. system clock drifts wicked fast though
[08:23] <Amaranth> ross`_: savage is a RTS/RPG
[08:23] <Flannel> xanderp: was it actually working? or just the default install ntpdate cron job that never really works when you want it to?
[08:23] <ross`_> k
[08:24] <CB1> kenboo: ethtool eth1 says the link & speed is good
[08:24] <chalnhubby> Happy Easter, He is risen!
[08:24] <Amaranth> ross`_: one member of your team leads your forces in an RTS-like way and the rest (hopefully) follow his commands and level up and buy new weapons and such
[08:24] <ross`_> what's the package for it
[08:24] <Amaranth> ah, it's not packaged
[08:24] <ross`_> is there one?
[08:24] <ross`_> oh..
[08:24] <ross`_> damnit
[08:24] <ross`_> im kinda noob at installing stuff on my own is it as simple as ./configure && make && make install?>
[08:24] <ross`_> and how large is it
[08:24] <chalnhubby> does anyone know where HP hides printer commands besides the CUPS window?
[08:25] <Amaranth> ross`_: http://czarism.com/how-to-install-savage-on-ubuntu-debian-linux
[08:25] <kenboo> CB1:  did you ping the ip from the same machine? or from other host?
[08:25] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:25] <ross`_> at all
[08:26] <damo22> whats that
[08:26] <nickthorley> hi all - is it easy to turn off the mouse scroll wheel cycling between desktops - my laptop has a scroll strip on the touch pad and this feature is getting a pain
[08:26] <damo22> nickthorley: xubuntu?
[08:26] <CB1> kenboo: when i assign the static ip i can't ping out to the gateway or anything else, and i also can't ping the this machine from my laptop
[08:26] <AnthraxDream> So guys
[08:27] <AnthraxDream> Why isn't any of my music being recognized by the music player?
[08:27] <nickthorley> damo22: no standard ubuntu
[08:27] <kindofabuzz> i forgot who's iea it was for me to change my UID, but don't ever suggest that again to anyone! lol
[08:27] <ross`_> er, got any games that are max 90mb?
[08:27] <ross`_> i kinda have dial up
[08:27] <Amaranth> nickthorley: install compizconfig-settings-manager, go to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, untick the checkbox next to "Viewport Switcher"
[08:27] <Amaranth> ross`_: solitaire
[08:27] <kenboo> CB1:  pls try ping the ip that you assigned to eth1 from the same machine (pinging internaly)
[08:27] <ross`_> lol
[08:27] <ross`_> be serious
[08:27] <kindofabuzz> he is
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: yup, that works
[08:28] <ross`_> i have no issues downloading a 90mb thing as itll be done when i wake up
[08:28] <Amaranth> ross`_: Seriously though, I can't think of any that are less than 90MB that are worth playing
[08:28] <ross`_> mmm
[08:28] <AnthraxDream> So anyone have any idea why the ubuntu music player isn't playing my music?
[08:28] <kindofabuzz> not may games out there under 100M, check getdeb.net ross
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: when i do arp -a, it shows: ? (<IP_ADDRESS>) at <incomplete> on eth1
[08:28] <ross`_> does anyone know any free dial up isps if i want to change my hostname/ip address
[08:28] <kenboo> CB1:  ok, so the nic is fine, most likely. probably you are having routing issue
[08:28] <nickthorley> amaranth: thanks thats great
[08:28] <CB1> kenboo: <IP_ADDRESS> is my firewall/gateway
[08:28] <DistroJockey> ross`_: maybe a MUD will suit. No graphics except ascii. materimagica.com is my favourite. Telnet connection.
[08:28] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: What kind of music file is this?
[08:28] <AnthraxDream> Mp3
[08:28] <kenboo> CB1:  netstat -rn ?
[08:29] <ross`_> er
[08:29] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: You're using Ubuntu 7.10?
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> Yes
[08:29] <ross`_> there are some very fun games under 90mb
[08:29] <Mitsiku> Can I just say that americans have no clue how to say ubuntu
[08:29] <ross`_> that arnt tiny
[08:29] <Slart> ross`_: or nethack.. that's way smaller than 90MB
[08:29] <kindofabuzz> probably crap, amaranth
[08:29] <ross`_> there are fun games that have decent graphics that are under 90mb
[08:29] <Slart> =)
[08:29] <penmissile> can i run games like fallout 2 under ubuntu?
[08:29] <ross`_> but more then 1mb
[08:29] <kindofabuzz> ooo--boon-too?
[08:29] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: Interesting, it should automatically offer to install the needed codec when you try to play it
[08:29] <FourX4Luvn> ooBOONtoo
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> Oh
[08:29] <evgeny> wassup suckers ?  =))
[08:29] <Slart> penmissile: I just tried running fallout using wine... didn't work for me at least
[08:29] <AnthraxDream> And the video players codec don't load
[08:29] <penmissile> hmmm
[08:30] <CB1> kenboo: the routes look fine... there's the <IP_ADDRESS> subnet <IP_ADDRESS> and then the default route with the gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> my friend says ub--ooo-too
[08:30] <AnthraxDream> It asks if I want to install them and it just goes around in a circle saying it can't find them
[08:30] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: Ubuntu, right? Not Xubuntu or Kubuntu or UbuntuStudio or anything
[08:30] <Amaranth> AnthraxDream: For the mp3s?
[08:30] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:30] <kindofabuzz> slart, you got the newwst wine, they fixed aALOT of bugs
[08:30] <Mitsiku> thats correct but alot say  you-bun-chu
[08:30] <Mitsiku> im from south africa all
[08:30] <CB1> kenboo: i've disabled ipv6 and there is nothing in the ip tables (all set to accept)
[08:30] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: and then run 'apt-get update' after enabling them?
[08:30] <Mitsiku> .
[08:31] <Slart> kindofabuzz: updated from git yesterday.. still no luck
[08:31] <ross`_> does anyone play pioneers
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> What?
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> I'm lost
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> Yes I have ubuntu
[08:31] <kindofabuzz> i got WoW running perfectly on the new wine
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> No I haven't done what ad_267 said
[08:31] <Slart> ross`_: I think you can safely assume that noone does.. or they do not want to admit it
[08:31] <ad_267> download ubuntu-restricted-extras in synaptic package manager
[08:31] <ross`_> Slart: what's wrong with it
[08:31] <ross`_> :P
[08:31] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: enable the restricted, multiverse, universe repositories, then run 'sudo apt-get update'... Have you done that?
[08:31] <kenboo> CB1:  would you paste the output at pastebin?
[08:31] <penmissile> why do all these linuxfags hate ubuntu? everywhere i go they tell me how horrible it is - and say how better "debain" is...
[08:31] <AnthraxDream> No
[08:31] <Mitsiku> and the translation on the website is wrong
[08:32] <Mitsiku> ubuntu means
[08:32] <AnthraxDream> Four pm me and walk me through it. ^_^
[08:32] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: Do that then try to install the codecs again
[08:32] <Slart> ross`_: I don't know.. I haven't tried it myself.
[08:32] <Helix82> hi guys anyone know abt nokia wireless presenter
[08:32] <AnthraxDream> I have no idea where it is
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> penmissle, you will run into that with every distro, alot hate it because it's brought alot of newcomers to linux and they think they're elite
[08:32] <Mitsiku> i am wat i am because of everyone else existing
[08:32] <soho> how to connect to a wep-secured network without using the network-manager-applet? which commands i have to use in the console
[08:32] <Slart> penmissile: no need for name calling...everyone has an oppinion.. some scream it out loudly.. try to ignore them
[08:32] <CB1> kenboo: k, i need a minute
[08:32] <kindofabuzz> the debian users that is
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> pretty much the same thing, debian and ubuntu
[08:33] <Mitsiku> do you know what sucks
[08:33] <kindofabuzz> from what i've heard
[08:33] <penmissile> no no, i just ran a dualboot and they looked at me like i was retarded "OMG UBUNTU.. what do you think you're cool?"
[08:33] <Mitsiku> i ordered this 7.10 disc and a week later version 8 is annoucned
[08:34] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: Go system - administration - synaptic package manager and then settings - repositories and tick the boxes where it says universe , restricted and multiverse
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> 8 has not been announced
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> it's only beta
[08:34] <Mitsiku> is has
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> no
[08:34] <Mitsiku> it says 33 days
[08:34] <ad_267> Once you've done that click reload in synaptic
[08:34] <kounryusui> what a suprise, Mitsuku
[08:34] <Mitsiku> or 32 days now
[08:34] <Flannel> Mitsiku: 8.04 will be released at the end of April, that's correct.
[08:34] <ad_267> and then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:34] <kindofabuzz> that doesn't mean you have to get 8, i think i'm gonna stick with gutsy awhile
[08:34] <soho> how to connect to a wep-secured network without using the network-manager-applet? which commands i have to use in the console
[08:34] <Slart> Mitsiku: it's not like the release schedule is a secret..
[08:34] <Mitsiku> thats wat i meant, i ordered 7.10 then they announce 33 days for 8
[08:34] <kenboo> dist-upgrade when it's out, if you really want to
[08:35] <Spiritual> my ubuntu 7.10 sometimes load the driver of creative soundcard
[08:35] <Spiritual> how can i solve it?
[08:35] <kindofabuzz> yeah i just got my gutsy cd's a few weeks ago, i mean i already had it installed thoough, got free stickers!
[08:35] <Mitsiku> btw Did you know ubuntu was created by a South African
[08:35] <ad_267> haha woo free stickers!
[08:35] <Slart> Spiritual: you want it to load the driver.. but all the time? or you don't want it to  load it at all?
[08:35] <Spiritual> Slart all the time
[08:36] <soho> Spiritual; you have to find out which driver is loaded and then you can blacklist it
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> mitsiku, you act like we don't ever read
[08:36] <Slart> Spiritual: run dmesg in a terminal.. see if it loads some other driver for the soundcard.. or if there is an error
[08:36] <Mitsiku> well you all think we ride elephants and live in mudhuts
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> who is we?
[08:36] <kindofabuzz> are you african?
[08:36] <Mitsiku> as in a majority of america and uk
[08:36] <FourX4Luvn> Mitsiku: That's just stupid.. Everyone knows they're grass huts ;-)
[08:36] <Spiritual> I will change de OS, take a few minutes
[08:37] <Flannel> !offtopic
[08:37] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:37] <Mitsiku> yes i am South African
[08:37] <Slart> Mitsiku: if you're in any way representive I now think you hang out on irc all day talking to yourselves about personal hangups.. ;)
[08:37] <kindofabuzz> they have computers in Africa?

[08:37] <AnthraxDream> ad_267 check pms please
[08:37] <Mitsiku> btw can i ask, Is a macbook good?
[08:38] <kindofabuzz> dunno
[08:38] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: how do I do that? sorry I just got xchat today
[08:38] <kindofabuzz> use chatzilla!
[08:38] <Mitsiku> i always get that off-topic warning
[08:39] <AnthraxDream> ad_267: Tab at the top
[08:39] <bullgard4> www.linux-magazine.com/issue/80/Linux_Magazine_DVD_Inlay.pdf: "The ubuntu taskbar will alert you when updates are available." Is the term 'Ubuntu taskbar' another name for 'Gnome panel'?
[08:39] <kindofabuzz> yup
[08:39] <Slart> Mitsiku: there is an offtopic channel for those kinds of discussions.. this one is for support, afaik
[08:39] <Spiritual> shit, now is loading
[08:40] <Flannel> bullgard4: They mean the bit at the top.  top right near the clock is where it'll be.
[08:40] <Spiritual> why is it happens?
[08:40] <kindofabuzz> how come in gutsy they don't have updates turned on from fresh install?  if you're a new user you'd never know about it
[08:40] <Spiritual> why do it happens?*
[08:40] <bullgard4> Flannel: Ok.
[08:41] <AnthraxDream> Ad_267: I did the add repositories thing, but it still doesn't play music, nor does it download the codec for AVis
[08:41] <Slart> Spiritual: huh?
[08:41] <Spiritual> Slart, my sound is ok right now
[08:41] <Spiritual> but i didn't anything
[08:41] <ad_267> OK, sorry I can't see a tab at the top here. So did click on reload, then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:41] <Spiritual> only restart the system
[08:42] <AnthraxDream> No I didn't search
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> welcome to linux Spiritual =)
[08:42] <Spiritual> kindofabuzz, is this good or bad?
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> i have stuf break without doing anything
[08:42] <Spiritual> lol
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> both
[08:42] <ad_267> OK do a search for that then install it
[08:42] <Spiritual> it looks like bad
[08:42] <ad_267> it will give you a lot of useful things you don't get automatically because of legal reasons
[08:42] <kindofabuzz> naaa, it's fun
[08:42] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: https://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/multimedia.html
[08:43] <kindofabuzz> FourX, it was you that told me to change my UID!!
[08:43] <Spiritual> i've installed ubuntu because my sound in windows is very bad
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> Whoops
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> Sorry
[08:43] <Slart> Spiritual: so it doesn't happen every time you reboot.. I think it might be udev playing tricks with you.. do you have more than one sound card in the computer?
[08:43] <CB1> kenboo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60702/
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> I didn't apply the repository changes
[08:43] <AnthraxDream> <3 love you guys. ^_^
[08:43] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: I was one of them, yeah
[08:43] <kindofabuzz> don't ever advise that again! lol
[08:43] <Spiritual> Slart, no
[08:44] <Spiritual> its a creative soundcard
[08:44] <Spiritual> creative soundblaster 5.1
[08:44] <kindofabuzz> things started getting weird, no response from apps, then i logged off, logged on and got about 15 error messges, had a desktop but no nautilus
[08:44] <Slart> Spiritual: no on board sound card on the motherboard?
[08:44] <kindofabuzz> changed it back and all is good
[08:44] <Spiritual> Slart, no
[08:44] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: How did you change it?
[08:45] <[B00]> soundblaster 5.1 i have in my pc with hardy on it and it works fine :/
[08:45] <Spiritual> [B00], =/
[08:45] <kindofabuzz> usermod -u 1001 jason
[08:45] <Slart> Spiritual: hmm... well.. when you do get the problem again do the dmesg thing and search for errors
[08:45] <Spiritual> ubuntu has knew automatically
[08:45] <Spiritual> but...
[08:46] <[B00]> mind you i cant get some of the packages installed as it wont let me tick the box lol but then it is a beta so no prob
[08:46] <CB1> kenboo: i forgot to paste the output of the ping, but all it says when trying to ping the gateway is "Destination Host Unreachable"
[08:46] <kindofabuzz> you have no DNS then CB1
[08:46] <chni> hello, I get some strange things happening when I try to open Video files on my machine, the problems began when I installed AWN. I just can't open videofiles any more, I get this message in the terminal: VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

[08:46] <kindofabuzz> wait, you're on here
[08:46] <chni> is it a memory problem?
[08:46] <[B00]> i'm just happy i can finally get ubuntu onto that machine at last :)
[08:46] <Spiritual> [B00], ubuntu knew your soundcard automatically?
[08:46] <[B00]> yer
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> mine did, well i just turned intergrated back on
[08:47] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: You forgot the -U switch
[08:47] <CB1> kindofabuzz: i have a dns server: <IP_ADDRESS>, but i'm not resolving any names... i'm simply pinging ips
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> domy actual soundcard don't work in linux at all
[08:47] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: http://docsrv.sco.com/UG_admin/uaT.chguid.html
[08:47] <kindofabuzz> but my intergrated does
[08:48] <[B00]> thats weird and its a soundblaster live?
[08:48] <CB1> where things get interesting is i can completely remove eth0 from the interfaces, reboot, and it still doesn't work
[08:48] <Spiritual> i like integrated 'card'
[08:48] <Spiritual> for the compatibility
[08:48] <Spiritual> but the quality isn't good
[08:48] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: Pay special attention to the "changing ownership of files with obsolete uid" section :)
[08:48] <CB1> i've tried 4 different nics for eth1 (eth0 is onboard)
[08:48] <kindofabuzz> thanks 4X, that ones a little more detaled than what i read
[08:49] <Spiritual> network card is very complicated
[08:49] <kindofabuzz> especially wireless
[08:49] <Spiritual> yes
[08:49] <Eko_Hermiyanto> hi
[08:49] <FourX4Luvn> kindofabuzz: For that matter.. You may want to, just in case, create a copy of your home directory "sudo cp /home/jason /home/jason.old"
[08:49] <Eko_Hermiyanto> how to make a new partition readable and writeable for all users?

[08:51] <Eko_Hermiyanto> I have tried to set the new disk into /etc/fstab

[08:51] <themime> i installed apache, php5, and phpBB2, and i navigate to stuff.com/forums/index.php and the source appears (ie the php isn't executing).  what are some ways to go about fixing this? (i realize it could be a number of things but im not sure where to start)
[08:52] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: Paste your /etc/fstab to pastepin, then paste the URL in here
[08:52] <Eko_Hermiyanto> this is the line : /dev/sda1 /media/disk     ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[08:52] <kindofabuzz> you have to have write permissions to that mount

[08:57] <kindofabuzz> i gave up on amule and went back to limewire
[08:58] <usehli> i have a problem with SCREENLETS CLOCK time its clock time doesnt match with with systems local time
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> FourX4Luvn, done
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> limewire has a linux version
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> do I need to sudo mount -a again?
[08:58] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: You should now be able to write to that
[08:58] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: No
[08:58] <kenboo> CB1:  looks sane to me.
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> FourX4Luvn, not yet
[08:58] <usehli> !utc
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about utc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> I have not yet able to write into the /media/disk
[08:58] <Eko_Hermiyanto> :(
[08:58] <kindofabuzz> usehli, i think with screenlets clocks you have to set them yourselves
[08:59] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: what is the exact directory you're trying to write to?
[08:59] <Christoz> I have a serious problem...I can't play games
[08:59] <kindofabuzz> get skillz =)

[08:59] <CB1> kenboo: i've got an asus motherboard with 2 nics on it... i was using the built-in nvidia nic as eth0 (which worked) and then either the other onboard or one of 3 other pci nics for eth1
[08:59] <FourX4Luvn> LOL kindofabuzz
[08:59] <Christoz> cause they just can't run
[08:59] <usehli> kindofabuzz, their isnt such option, & how do i change time zone in it

[09:00] <kindofabuzz> whcih screenlet usehli?
[09:00] <usehli> Eko_Hermiyanto, try sudo nautilus in terminal, this should get ur work done easily
[09:00] <CB1> kenboo: now i'm trying the the other onboard nic (marvell) as eth0 and a pci nic as eth1... maybe there's something whack with the nforce4 chipset?
[09:00] <ad_267> Christoz, try running the games from the command line and see what error messages you get
[09:00] <Christoz> Kindofabuzz http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christoz this is for wormux
[09:00] <Eko_Hermiyanto> usehli, that's right, but, I have to use nautilus with root permission all the time
[09:01] <FourX4Luvn> Eko_Hermiyanto: 'touch /media/disk/testfile' returns what?

[09:07] <ad_267> Yes good point I think you can
[09:07] <kindofabuzz> then get Envy and try reinstalling your drivers
[09:07] <Christoz> ad_267 i xan see motor wheels
[09:07] <ad_267> Ok so your video card should be working then

[09:09] <ad_267> Christoz: that page just says "No results found."
[09:09] <kindofabuzz> so it's just for wormux, you said all games
[09:09] <Christoz> ad_267 that was just a try to see if with sudo works no logical reason
[09:09] <Christoz> oops
[09:10] <kindofabuzz> works?
[09:10] <ad_267> ok, so you installed it through synaptic?

[09:12] <Christoz> ad_267 it says for a library "rotozoom" and says that can't find this one...but on the SDL_lib forler IT IS!!!
[09:13] <kindofabuzz> oh nvm, it's in the package
[09:13] <Christoz> ad_267 i've used the CPPFLAGS command to tell system where ti find it...
[09:13] <kindofabuzz> just right click the clock and go to properties
[09:14] <Christoz> ad_267 then i made the "./configure" and no errors had occured...ok let's "make " this thing work...
[09:14] <usehli> kindofabuzz, but problem is how do i set or change time zone in TIMEZONE:  option
[09:14] <ad_267> Christoz, If yo've done that then I really don't know what else could help
[09:14] <Christoz> ad_267 make was succesfull ...

[09:15] <Christoz> ad_267 what on earth happened to my system?
[09:15] <usehli> i did dint work.... like IST, it dint work
[09:15] <ad_267> OK, you're doing it now, make might take a while
[09:15] <Christoz> ad_267 i hate gutsy ...feisty was much more stable
[09:15] <ad_267> Christoz, why what's happening?
[09:15] <kindofabuzz> yeah i see what you're saying, CST doesn't work either
[09:16] <kindofabuzz> just set it your self then
[09:16] <usehli> kindofabuzz, ??
[09:16] <Christoz> ad_267 what?
[09:16] <kindofabuzz> don;t you see time-offset?
[09:16] <shasylap> if i currently have my disk partitioned as all mounted on /, is there an easyish way to make /home it's own partition ? i have a good chunk of free space left on the disk if that helps at all
[09:16] <ad_267> dw, thought something weird was happening because you said what's happening to my system
[09:16] <utarpradesh> hi i downloaded from vmware's site the VMWare WORKSTATION for ubuntu... it is a tar.gz file, but i don't know how to install it.. i extracted, then went in and clicked icons here and there... doesn't work
[09:16] <utarpradesh> i don't know how to install like this
[09:17] <usehli> kindofabuzz, but mintes dont change in it that way
[09:17] <Christoz> ad_267 oh srry i thought that you weren't "listen"
[09:17] <Christoz> ad_267 how cannot find something tha it's in front of system's "eyes"??
[09:17] <kindofabuzz> hmmm i dunno then, try another clock?
[09:17] <utarpradesh> how do i install a tar.gz file?
[09:17] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: temporarily mount your new partition under /mnt.. move /home to /mnt/home.. unmount /mnt and mount the new partition to /home
[09:18] <kindofabuzz> wait, my ninutes are right
[09:18] <usehli> kindofabuzz, can utc be problem here ?
[09:18] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Then add an entry to /etc/fstab so it mounts at boot
[09:18] <kindofabuzz> it's :18 after everywhere right?
[09:18] <ere4si> shasylap: this might help - http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[09:18] <[B00]> not necessarily
[09:18] <ad_267> Christoz, you have the dev library right?
[09:18] <shasylap> FourX4Luvn, and that will make it so all the files in /home reside on that partition, correct?
[09:18] <utarpradesh> should i download the tar.gz file? OR the rpm file for ubuntu???
[09:18] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Yes
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> rpm for ubuntu???
[09:19] <shasylap> i will take a look at that ere4si , thanks to you both
[09:19] <utarpradesh> so
[09:19] <Christoz> ad_267 yes that was the first thing i've done
[09:19] <ere4si> k
[09:19] <[B00]> india is :48 after as they are 7.5 hours in front ;)
[09:19] <Sprite> kubuntu can't handle wpa encryption, I was told it could and it says everywhere that it can, but it clearly can't can anyone explain why it wouldn't work for me I have gutsy pretty much a fresh install
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> rps is redhat
[09:19] <utarpradesh> tar.gz is correct?... okej how do i install it?
[09:19] <usehli> utarpradesh, download deb file not *.gz file from vmware
[09:19] <kindofabuzz> yeah usehi, the minutes are right, just manually set the hour
[09:19] <utarpradesh> there were only two choices: rpm and tar.gz
[09:19] <ad_267> Ok just checking, I really can't think what could be causing this
[09:20] <Christoz> ad_267 i just cannot find an answer...actually f@ck wormux the system is that is not responding correctly
[09:20] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Yes, be sure to read that URL ere4si gave you.  That one at least has you back up your home directory in case all goes wrong.. (Which I didn't include in what I told you)
[09:20] <usehli> kindofabuzz, no you dont get it, when I change time offset to 5.5, only HOURS change but theirs no change in minutes...
[09:20] <utarpradesh> how do i install VMware in ubuntu???
[09:20] <Cain_> HOW HOW HOW
[09:21] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[09:21] <shasylap> FourX4Luvn, ha, unfortunately i might not have room for that, but i have copies of all essential things at least
[09:21] <kindofabuzz> because the minutes is correct at all times, if it's 15 after the hour in china it's 15 minutes after in tennessee
[09:21] <FourX4Luvn> shasylap: Ok then :)
[09:21] <Cain_> utarpradesh: get vbox imo, way better (virtualbox)
[09:21] <ad_267> I've got wormux on Gutsy and it ran fine from the repositories, there must be something funny happening
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> mu minutes are changing
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> my
[09:22] <Christoz> ad_267 thanks for your time , thank you too kindofabuzz
[09:22] <eeaaxx> anybody knows what is the meaning of this problem "can't load DistUpgradeViewGtk" im using kubuntu 7.10?
[09:22] <utarpradesh> what happens if i use WINE to install the windows version of vmware in my ubuntu?
[09:22] <kindofabuzz> np
[09:22] <utarpradesh> and run an emulator within an emulator
[09:22] <usehli> utarpradesh, +1 better go for virtual box its faster than vmware
[09:22] <FourX4Luvn> Cain_: Not all virtual appliances work with VBox.   Any command equivalent to the "User Settings" dialog?
[09:24] <usehli> FourX4Luvn, lol... no :P
[09:24] <utarpradesh> i need to get 'packages' before installing vmware
[09:25] <kindofabuzz> and it's dead on with the system clock
[09:25] <FourX4Luvn> Darn.. I guess Sprite was right then.. Maybe it doesn't support WPA.  I thought I was connected
[09:25] <utarpradesh> yeah there's no wifi in ubuntu
[09:25] <FourX4Luvn> :D
[09:25] <samuel16> Hello everybody
[09:25] <utarpradesh> :(

[09:26] <utarpradesh> do you know about vmware workstation?
[09:26] <samuel16> I have a problem with Firestarter
[09:26] <samuel16> Every time I start Ubuntu
[09:26] <samuel16> It says stopping Firestarter firewall
[09:27] <samuel16> And now is my question how can I remove Firestarter to start at startup?
[09:27] <FourX4Luvn> samuel16: system>administration>services is firestarter listed?
[09:28] <samuel16> no
[09:28] <usehli> kindofabuzz, check UTC=no,,, in file sudo gedit /etc/default/rcS
[09:28] <usehli> kindofabuzz, in ur case is it yes or no ?
[09:29] <alkis1> Hi, adduser <username> doesn't give the user the same permissions/groups as adding the user through the gnome "User Settings" dialog. Any command equivalent to the "User Settings" dialog?
[09:29] <usehli> alkis1, adduser <username> admin
[09:29] <usehli> !useradd | alkis1
[09:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about useradd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <kindofabuzz> ok i figured it out usehli, for time zone you have to put your off set ftom GMT?UTC, like CST is -5 from GMT
[09:30] <funalien> +
[09:30] <kindofabuzz> i doubt they programes it to actaully read the sytem clock, but if you put in the right offset it will be correct
[09:30] <FourX4Luvn> samuel16: Actually, if you don't want it starting.. why not just remove it completely?
[09:31] <alkis1> usehli, sudo adduser test3 admin gives "user test3 doesn't exist"
[09:31] <MagoonD> how do I unrar a bunch of files which also include a .sfv file?
[09:32] <kindofabuzz> well i gotta run, later all
[09:32] <FourX4Luvn> MagoonD: 'unrar *.rar' ?
[09:32] <locomo> how to quick erase dvd+rw?
[09:32] <MagoonD> hmm let me try that
[09:33] <MagoonD> how do I find out how much memory my hard drive has left on it?
[09:34] <damo22> locomo:  sudo apt-get install gnomebaker && gnomebaker
[09:34] <FourX4Luvn> MagoonD: 'df -h'
[09:34] <DeadLy_sp> hey, is possible change my current theme from bash?
[09:34] <funalien> I've formated two partiotions on my HDD, fsck can't perform fs cheking.Here's /var/log/fsck/checkfsck.log http://pastebin.mozilla-russia.org/91069 can anyone help me please?
[09:34] <locomo> damo22: i'll try that, tried k3b and brasero already
[09:35] <damo22> gnomebaker rocks
[09:35] <utarpradesh> how do i run windows .bat files using wine?
[09:35] <locomo> mm maybe wine cmd.exe file.bat
[09:36] <sbingner> utarpradesh, you can also start a shell first then run them from there... I think it's "wineconsole"?
[09:36] <utarpradesh> oh, okay, thank  you :)
[09:37] <cge> Err, I'm not sure if my last question went through: does anyone know how to disable an internal keyboard, or even how one would go about disabling a keyboard short of disconnecting it at all?
[09:37] <utarpradesh> what is an internal keyboard?
[09:37] <cge> utarpradesh: in a laptop
[09:38] <Jon855> aha
[09:38] <utarpradesh> i see
[09:38] <cge> utarpradesh: Essentially, one that can't be disconnected
[09:38] <Jon855> well, you'll need to find the device number in the hardware profile
[09:38] <utarpradesh> aha :)
[09:38] <Jon855> and then I guess unmount that device?
[09:38] <utarpradesh> what is "host-only networking"?
[09:38] <utarpradesh> i'm installing vmware workstation
[09:38] <cge> Which causes problems when it's generating spurious keypresses every few seconds, making it difficult for me to even log in.
[09:39] <utarpradesh> one of the options is: "do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your virtual machines?"
[09:39] <utarpradesh> what does that mean?
[09:39] <locomo> damo22: where is erase dvd-rw option in gnomebaker? i can see only "format dvd-rw"
[09:39] <Jon855> it means only internal networking within the host.
[09:39] <Jon855> and no external
[09:39] <damo22> locomo: i dont know
[09:39] <utarpradesh> ah
[09:39] <Jon855> for the vm
[09:39] <utarpradesh> so my guest os can't connect to the internet?
[09:39] <locomo> damo22: LOL? why you adviced gnomebaker then?
[09:39] <Jon855> if i read that correct yes.
[09:40] <Jon855> but you could always try and see
[09:40] <utarpradesh> but i want my guest os to connect to internet
[09:40] <MagoonD> how can i mount an .iso file in ubuntu? I used to use deamon tools on windows
[09:40] <damo22> locomo: try format dvd
[09:40] <locomo> damo22: i dont need format
[09:40] <utarpradesh> i wanna install a virtual XP so i can play games in ubuntu
[09:40] <utarpradesh> wine is too complicated
[09:40] <Jon855> Why not dual boot?
[09:40] <utarpradesh> yes but
[09:40] <utarpradesh> it's a pain
[09:40] <Jon855> probably whole lot easier than mounting an ise
[09:40] <Jon855> iso
[09:40] <PiRANiA> MagoonD: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[09:40] <utarpradesh> because i always have to reinstall xp
[09:40] <damo22> utarpradesh: XP in VMWare doesnt have 3d accelleration
[09:40] <PiRANiA> MagoonD: good tuto
[09:40] <Jon855> and fake installation, and also the overhead'll be really high running vm
[09:41] <MagoonD> thanks PiRANiA
[09:41] <utarpradesh> then it messes up my mb
[09:41] <ashley> hi
[09:41] <Jon855> esp gaming
[09:41] <utarpradesh> mbr
[09:41] <FourX4Luvn> cge: I'm pretty sure the only option you'd have is to take the laptop apart and unplug the keyboard from the motherboard
[09:41] <utarpradesh> dammo222: :'(
[09:41] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: I don't think so
[09:41] <Isaac_> hi
[09:41] <damo22> utarpradesh: your best bet is dualboot for gaming
[09:41] <Jon855> I reckon he can tell the system to unmount the device
[09:41] <utarpradesh> :'( :'(
[09:41] <damo22> utarpradesh: and dont let the machine get on the net
[09:41] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Ok.. then what would the solution be?
[09:41] <conover> cge: if you plug a USB keyboard into your laptop, and reboot, it might recognize it, (its supposed to.)
[09:42] <damo22> utarpradesh: then you have clean system for gaming
[09:42] <Jon855> unmount it, he'll have to find the device number and what not
[09:42] <utarpradesh> okay, that is good advice
[09:42] <Jon855> from the hardware info
[09:42] <iDN> Hey everyone! I have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:42] <utarpradesh> my windows cd that came with my laptop isn't really the windows install
[09:42] <utarpradesh> it's more like a backup install
[09:42] <utarpradesh> what difference does that make?
[09:43] <utarpradesh> backup cd vs full install disc
[09:43] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Umm.. character devices are not mountable
[09:43] <n0NE> i've got aproblem
[09:43] <damo22> utarpradesh: no idea
[09:43] <n0NE> on ubuntu
[09:43] <Jon855> well, utarpradesh the difference is that it's a back up and when you run it, it'll return it to the clean state
[09:43] <n0NE> who can help me???
[09:43] <cge> conover: That's not the problem. The internal keyboard is essentially sending garbage; I'm using an external keyboard right now, but I need some way to stop the other keypresses.
[09:43] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: alright but there has to be an interface it's connected to right? if you were able to disable that then wouldn't that work in theory?
[09:44] <locomo> so, linux is that bad, it even cant erase dvd+rw?
[09:44] <MagoonD> it has to be easier than that to mount an iso image in ubuntu
[09:44] <ashley> who here is a girl and is a bisexual
[09:44] <utarpradesh> ashley
[09:44] <utarpradesh> psst...
[09:44] <MagoonD> lol ashley i think wrong room and server
[09:44] <CB1> kenboo: whoo! i got it!  thanks for your help! :)
[09:44] <iDN> ashley: This is not a chat channel. This is a GEEK CHANNEL!
[09:44] <utarpradesh> please stay on topic?
[09:44] <iDN> Hey everyone! I have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:45] <conover> cge: laptops are notoriously for broken hardware, but if you put a USB keyboard into any USB port, and reboot, then it is supposed to take priority, and disable the laptop's KB.
[09:45] <cge> conover: ah!
[09:45] <MagoonD> iDN, whatis enemy territory?
[09:45] <Isaac_> Probably a computer game.
[09:46] <cge> iDN: Enemy Territory is probably grabbing the keyboard in some way.
[09:46] <Jon855> conover: that never works for me, it always keeps both of them enable
[09:46] <iDN> MagoonD: A multilayer game.
[09:46] <FourX4Luvn> cge: 'dmesg | grep keyboard'
[09:46] <MagoonD> sounds interesting how are the graphics on it
[09:46] <cge> FourX4Luvn: good point
[09:46] <iDN> cge: It works fine on XP. :(
[09:46] <FourX4Luvn> cge: and paste the output pleaes
[09:46] <conover> cge: It is not defined if the laptop's KB is disabled, or, "and'ed" with the USB KB.
[09:46] <iDN> MagoonD: It's an old on I've been playing for god knows how long...
[09:46] <cge> FourX4Luvn: You want dmesg | grep -i keyboard, though
[09:47] <MagoonD> do they make deamon tools for linux?
[09:47] <iDN> MagoonD: I would say the graphics are nice, but nothing magnificent in particular. It was released in 2002/3 I think.
[09:47] <Jon855> magoond, check the website if you really want to know
[09:47] <FourX4Luvn> conover: I use my laptop in a KVM when I'm at work all the time, and both keyboards work
[09:47] <damo22> locomo:  dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/dvd
[09:47] <iDN> MagoonD: There is something similar.
[09:47] <dan_> i liek ubuntu 4 fun everyday
[09:47] <kenboo> CB1: congrats. what did you do?
[09:47] <utarpradesh> when i have dual boot xp/ubuntu to play video games... in the XP partition, is it better to have a virtual ubuntu intstall or a virtual XP?
[09:47] <iDN> "sudo aptitude install gmountiso", MagoonD
[09:47] <utarpradesh> using vmware
[09:48] <iDN> have one of these multimedia keyboards. In GNOME, the volume control wheel on the keyboard works great, but in Enemy territory it does not function. Could anyone help?
[09:48] <conover> FourX4Luvn: either way, disabling the HW KB, or accepting both, is in the spec.
[09:48] <FourX4Luvn> cge: I doubt you'll find anything with a capital "K" but ok.. if you want to run it that way :)
[09:48] <dns53> MagoonD you can mount an image with: mount imagename -o loop mountpoint
[09:48] <Jon855> wait if you're already in xp, why would you need a virtual xp?
[09:48] <Jon855> just dual boot it, it'll solve 99% of your problems
[09:48] <damo22> utarpradesh: with dual boot, you missing the poinet... the idea is you dont need virtual anything
[09:48] <utarpradesh> so i can access internet; i don't want to dirty my regular install
[09:48] <utarpradesh> but
[09:48] <utarpradesh> while i'm gaming
[09:48] <CB1> kenboo: i disabled both onboard nics, and did a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10 server and for some reason the d-link nic wouldn't get a dhcp IP
[09:48] <cge> FourX4Luvn: Everything about that keyboard was capitalized, for some odd reason :)
[09:48] <MagoonD> thanks i will try that
[09:48] <utarpradesh> i don't want to have to restart to access the net
[09:49] <iDN> dns53: Don't make life more complicated than they are. We LOVE GUIs. :)
[09:49] <Jon855> utarpradesh: just do a clean install of xp
[09:49] <cge> FourX4Luvn: However, it is usb, so I think I know the way to go about fixing it now
[09:49] <Jon855> you'll be fine either way
[09:49] <utarpradesh> but i want to keep my xp clean
[09:49] <utarpradesh> don't wanna expose it to the internet
[09:49] <Jon855> you don't have to reboot to use the internet too
[09:49] <CB1> kenboo: so i swapped cables as well as swapped the card to another pci slot... still no luck
[09:49] <FourX4Luvn> cge: Ok :)
[09:49] <Willlraja> hi all i would like some help with getting my usb modem to work, i've only installed ubuntu for the first time today so still really really new to this
[09:49] <Jon855> utarpradesh, use it wisely, install a/v etc, etc. and you'll be fine
[09:49] <iDN> utarpradesh: It's a shame that in order to keep an XP install clean, you must keep it of the grid. Crappy M$!
[09:49] <utarpradesh> yes
[09:49] <FourX4Luvn> Willlraja: What is the model of your modem?
[09:49] <damo22> utarpradesh: its a tradeoff, just use it for gaming not net, reboot for the net
[09:50] <CB1> kenboo: so i ripped the d-link out and put a linksys gigabit card in and it worked... so next i turned the nvidia onboard nic back on (leaving the onboard marvell off) and everything is gravy
[09:50] <desna> hi
[09:50] <Willlraja> Huawei E220
[09:50] <CB1> kenboo: i still need to disable ipv6
[09:50] <iDN> utarpradesh: I installed Vista recently. Boy, I've never seen a more sluggish OS. :D
[09:51] <CB1> kenboo: so, the weird part is i have 3 of those d-link gigabit cards and they work great in one of my boxes, but i guess the is something funky with those d-link cards and my asus motherboard
[09:51] <Asphalt_> I just added a new HD to my primarily linux box with Windows XP installed.  Anyone know how to make grub make that boot?

[09:52] <utarpradesh> can i have three partitions? ntfs and fat32 for windows and ubuntu to share, and ext3 for ubuntu?
[09:53] <utarpradesh> should i have that?
[09:53] <richard__> !suse
[09:53] <Jon855> yes
[09:53] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[09:53] <damo22> Asphalt_: add some lines to menu.lst in /boot/grub .... root (hd0,0) ; makeactive ; chainloader +1 ; boot
[09:53] <CB1> kenboo: yeah, i'm aware of that... that's why i've been doing a complete reinstall... takes about 6 minutes in my server so i don't mind waiting :)
[09:53] <kenboo> CB1: wow..
[09:53] <Jon855> utar, you should have not have fat32 unless it's not possible to avoid it, with xp, it's unlikely you can avoid it but you can use ntfs if I'm correct
[09:53] <kenboo> or simple you can delete the content of the file.
[09:54] <richard__> yeah, ntfs ftw (ubuntu reads it well too)
[09:54] <Willlraja> taking a look now, my main problem(i think) is that I can't get ubuntu to even recognise that I've plugged in the USB modem despite restarts, it doesn't even appear as a storage drive as seen on some of the guides i've followed
[09:54] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yes, he can use NTFS
[09:54] <kenboo> I'm not sure if other places keep configs somehow.
[09:54] <richard__> and writes...
[09:54] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: yeah I thought so, thanks.
[09:55] <conover> Is ubotu similar to the 'bot that was on #Linux several years ago?
[09:55] <dns53> simular

[09:56] <utarpradesh> is there a way to avoid taht?
[09:56] <Jon855> yes
[09:56] <Jon855> install xp first, then linux later

[09:56] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Do you still have your ubuntu cd?
[09:57] <dreamer_> 안녕하세요
[09:57] <utarpradesh> no
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i installed using my ipod
[09:57] <Jon855> you'll just have to let xp kill the mbr and then you can do a repair install of the grub
[09:57] <tiax> jkp: try dpkg -L packagename - only works when it's already installed, though
[09:57] <utarpradesh> USB install
[09:57] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Do you have any bootable linux CD?
[09:57] <Willlraja> I haven't but I will, i'm on a xp laptop at the moment and will have to unplug the modem from there and then plug in on ubuntu comp, so will dissappear for awhile...hopefully when I come back I will be asking for other help ;)
[09:57] <utarpradesh> no
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i can make it though

[09:57] <jkp> tiax: thanks
[09:57] <utarpradesh> i was hoping to wait until the heron release to reinstall
[09:58] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: Yes, but that's more of an hassle than the other way around
[09:58] <utarpradesh> FourX4luvn: how do i do taht?
[09:58] <utarpradesh> how do i do it?
[09:58] <jkp> tiax: that worked, ta
[09:58] <Jon855> you'll need to go into the msconfig
[09:58] <Willlraja> unplugging now
[09:58] <usrbinbash> ok
[09:58] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: As Jon855 said.. You really don't want to do that if you have any other choice
[09:58] <utarpradesh> okay
[09:58] <utarpradesh> what's the size of an XP install?

[09:59] <capgadget> It is not the install, it is the afterwards headache.
[09:59] <damo22> utarpradesh: download GRML and use it to boot off cd after you install XP so you can run grub-install /dev/hda

[10:00] <jubu> what apps do i need to convert movies to ipod format..plz HELP. thanks!

[10:00] <damo22> utarpradesh: so you can fix linux mbr after XP install
[10:00] <capgadget> mencoder perhaps.
[10:01] <FourX4Luvn> !patience | jubu
[10:01] <ubotu> jubu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:01] <capgadget> utarpradesh you install the earliest versions of windows first then linux.  Youmight also want to read up on grub-install.
[10:03] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Also, for that matter, depending on your needs.. since you're going to reinstall XP anyway.. consider just growing your linux partition to take over the windows one, then install XP in a virtual machine
[10:03] <Jon855> Ekk, Virtual Machine XP for gaming, I don't think so
[10:03] <Jon855> He should go dual boot.
[10:03] <damo22> exactly, you would need dual boot for 3d accelleration
[10:03] <utarpradesh> FourX4 i was hoping to do gaming
[10:03] <FourX4Luvn> True.. that's why I said 'depending on your needs'  If he's a gamer, no dice
[10:03] <utarpradesh> but someone told me that isn't a good idea
[10:03] <utarpradesh> :(
[10:04] <Jon855> My advice to him would be that he Reinstall XP in its own parition and then install linux afterwards and you shouldn't have any problem
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yup.. afraid so
[10:04] <utarpradesh> :'( all i want is starcraft ii
[10:04] <utarpradesh> will they make that for Ubuntu?
[10:04] <Jon855> no
[10:04] <Bishop> hi @all
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> Umm.. no
[10:04] <utarpradesh> sickening
[10:04] <utarpradesh> ...
[10:04] <Jon855> take it up to the devs
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> I didn't even know there was a starcraft II
[10:04] <FourX4Luvn> When did that come out?
[10:04] <Jon855> FourX4Luvn: it isn't out yet
[10:04] <damo22> they made strategus
[10:04] <utarpradesh> next year
[10:05] <FourX4Luvn> ahh
[10:05] <FourX4Luvn> that should be pretty cool
[10:05] <utarpradesh> are you using the 8.04 beta?

[10:05] <Jon855> alright I've got a .run file how do I run it?
[10:05] <Jon855> In term?
[10:06] <damo22> jon855 is it a linux binary?

[10:07] <vallhalla81> my pc keeps freezing up when i am using any web page with flash has any one any sugestions why this may be?
[10:08] <Dr_willis> We could say some nasty things about flash. :)
[10:08] <nickname_> Jon855: ask who give you the .run, what game is it ?
[10:08] <Jon855> it's Wolf:ET
[10:08] <conover> vallhalla81: got flash installed?
[10:08] <Sonderblade> in which file is the proxy settings for apt-get stored?
[10:09] <vallhalla81> conover: yes it just freezes up wile for example i am watching a youtube vid

[10:10] <DirkGently> morning... before I pull all of my hair out - can anyone help me with a wlan config problem? I can connect okay using manual config in Network Settings but it won't connect after a reboot. I have to go back into Network Settings, set to Roaming then set to manual to get it to work... On the help page it says "Everything should now work. It should also work every time you turn on your computer without further configuration.",
[10:10] <vallhalla81> conover: correct
[10:10] <delfick> hello. When I use my scanner, it stops half way through. on looking at dmesg, it has a bunch of "usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'scanadf' sets config #1" does anyone know how to stop my scanner being claimed?
[10:10] <arke> anybody know how I could convince Xorg that I really do have a widescreen and that it doesn't have to bunch up the 1680x1050 resolution in the left two quarters of the screen?
[10:10]  * arke is pulling his hair out over thsi
[10:11]  * delfick is pulling his hair over his problem too :(
[10:11]  * DirkGently looks at the hair covered floor
[10:11] <conover> vallhalla81: second menu from the left on the top of firefox, to the bottom, select preferences; disable java, enable java script, etc. for your flash.
[10:11]  * delfick 's hair is red :)
[10:11]  * arke is contributing brown
[10:11] <DirkGently> ditto
[10:12] <vallhalla81> conover: ok done that
[10:12] <utarpradesh> i have an AMD x64 cpu... what happens if i install the x86 version of Ubuntu on it???
[10:12] <utarpradesh> will my computer break?
[10:12] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: no
[10:12] <delfick> anywho, back to irritating errors, anyone know how to solve my scanner being stolen by other processes half way through scanning things?
[10:13] <DirkGently> it just won't use it's full capability
[10:13] <utarpradesh> dirk...
[10:13] <utarpradesh> i see
[10:13] <vallhalla81> conover: should that be all i need to do?
[10:13] <elkbuntu> utarpradesh, 64bit is backwards compatible
[10:13] <conover> vallhalla81: make sure that ~/.firefox/plugins is configured for flash; i.e., there should be a flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so that linke to where you installed flash.
[10:13] <utarpradesh> that's great!
[10:13] <DirkGently> i386 is good for compatibility
[10:13] <elkbuntu> in a way, anyway
[10:13] <utarpradesh> what is the 'full capability' though??
[10:14] <FourX4Luvn> given that Jon855 completely disappeared, I'm betting he got the .run file to work and is now trying out his trusty new M1
[10:14] <Jon855> nope
[10:14] <Jon855> :)
[10:14] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: it won't be as fast
[10:14] <Jon855> I'm just removing the older version file
[10:14] <FourX4Luvn> well why the heck not?  ;-)
[10:14] <Jon855> am now downloading the newer version
[10:15] <FourX4Luvn> Only thing I didn't like about that game was the lack of maps
[10:15] <utarpradesh> if i install a virtual ubuntu within XP thru vmware... will i be able to access my windows files from ubuntu in the same way i can now with my dual boot?
[10:15] <Jon855> I don't see why not
[10:16] <Jon855> you could as long you have the right username / pass and so on
[10:16] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: If you enable that feature, yes.  (not sure what vmware calls that)
[10:16] <arke> got an easier question though. Whenever I try to install the fglrx through adept, it asks me for the CD, athough it should ideally just get it online.
[10:16] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: you can access the windows files through samba client
[10:16] <arke> what's the solution to that?
[10:16] <Jon855> how can I confirm that I have 3d accel enabled?
[10:16] <utarpradesh> what is 3d accel?
[10:16] <utarpradesh> that's only for hardcore FPSs?
[10:16] <nonix4> utarpradesh: actually which is faster, 64-bit or 32-bit depends on the programs being ran
[10:17] <utarpradesh> nonix i see... hm...
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: run glxgears and see what kind of framerate you get
[10:17] <DirkGently> utarpradesh: it probably won't work under vmware
[10:17] <Jon855> in term?
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yes
[10:17] <sjovan> hey guys, I used mount --bind to get the content of one folder into another, but when i restart the computer it dissapears. Can i do something in fstab or something for this? symlinking doesn't work since i can't change the name of the folder
[10:17] <vallhalla81> conover: it just has flash player alternative.so
[10:17] <Jon855> I'm getting 1800 fps
[10:17] <Jon855> I guess it's on
[10:17] <Jon855> :D
[10:17] <FourX4Luvn> Jon855: Yup.. :)
[10:17] <nonix4> utarpradesh: and 64-bit advantages tend to materialize starting somewhere between 4-8 gigabytes of ram for most cases...
[10:18] <Jon855> alright thanks
[10:18] <utarpradesh> i see...
[10:18] <utarpradesh> my laptop only has 512 :'(((((
[10:18] <utarpradesh> gross
[10:18] <Jon855> nonix, beside that it also offers much greater precision
[10:18] <conover> vallhalla81: I have no idea-I have never seen that. Did you get flash 8.something from www.adobe.com?
[10:18] <Jon855> that's still dependent on programming languages itself
[10:19] <nonix4> Jon855: yup. But programs that take advantage of that are more rare than ones taking advantage of the ram :)
[10:19] <Jon855> That's true
[10:19]  * delfick goes and posts a bug in the bugtracker........
[10:19] <vallhalla81> conover:  i am using the flash firefox sugested when it said i had to install plugin
[10:19] <utarpradesh> can i VNC a windows computer using an ubuntu client?
[10:19] <Jon855> I don't think so
[10:19] <arke> utarpradesh: yes
[10:19] <Jon855> I may be wrong
[10:20] <arke> utarpradesh: I believe you can
[10:20] <utarpradesh> :)
[10:20] <conover> vallhalla81: did it come from Adobe?
[10:20] <arke> utarpradesh: do a search for VNC in the adept manager (or whatever the gnome equivalent is)
[10:20] <vallhalla81> conover: should i uninstall and find a difernt version?
[10:20] <utarpradesh> synaptic
[10:20] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yes.. Terminal Server Client.. found under programs>internet
[10:20] <Jon855> there should be flash 9 out
[10:20] <vallhalla81> conover:  yes its adobe
[10:20] <Jon855> that's what I'm using anyways
[10:21] <arke> man this poor computer needs some RAM >_<
[10:21] <arke> 128mb just isn't enough these days
[10:21] <Jon855> Ekk, 128?
[10:21] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: You want either rdp or rdpv5 for the protocol selection.  (Depends on whether the Windows is pre XP or not
[10:21] <conover> vallhalla81: maybe. There are several flash work-alikes on the Net, but all have some problems. The Adobe flash is the only thing I know of that will work on Utube, etc.
[10:22] <Jon855> I hope you aren't running a gui linux arke
[10:22] <arke> I am.
[10:22] <Jon855> -_- Xubuntu?
[10:22] <FourX4Luvn> xubuntu
[10:22] <arke> I was actuallty running this install on something faster, which was unfortunately broken
[10:22] <vallhalla81> conover: ah well thank you for trying
[10:22] <arke> Kubuntu, even :)
[10:22] <arke> (yes, I am a masochist)
[10:22] <Jon855> ... Alright
[10:22] <FourX4Luvn> I'd say
[10:22] <Jon855> Xcfe shall help ya in this case or hell bare it all
[10:22] <conover> vallhalla81: sorry I couldn't help more.
[10:23] <usrbinbash> 128~better stick to something minimal
[10:23] <FourX4Luvn> geez.. I'd suggest you look into ratpoison for a WM  lol
[10:23] <usrbinbash> fluxbox
[10:23] <Jon855> and run using xwindows when you need it
[10:23] <kane77> ubuntu checks disks each time I boot, how do I turn it off?
[10:23] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: Shut it down properly.  It should only check every 30 or so mounts
[10:23] <icesword> er,em
[10:23] <arke> FourX4Luvn: well, ideally I'll get the other motherboard to work, that one is completely dead though
[10:24] <arke> FourX4Luvn: this is somewhat of a temporary solution
[10:24] <icesword> i think he is using wubi
[10:24] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, I do shut it down properly
[10:24] <kane77> and yet it checks every time
[10:24] <utarpradesh> thanks Fourx4
[10:24] <FourX4Luvn> utarpradesh: Yup :)
[10:24] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: What filesystem?
[10:25] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, it checks all.. (they are mostly ext3)
[10:25] <albech> i lost the link, but someone posted a good remote control software for my Nokia N95 to control my Ubuntu box.
[10:25] <utarpradesh> thanks everyone, goodnight! :D
[10:26] <steven__> i loev you. terw
[10:26] <steven__> werttzet
[10:27] <conover> albech: gnokii maybe?
[10:28] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: 'sudo tune2fs -l <device>'  What do you get?
[10:28] <threefcata_> does any window manager do the same as what opacify in compiz does?
[10:30] <Oli``> odd question but is there an easy way to time how long a command takes?
[10:30] <arke> jesus, does Xorg completely ignore xorg.conf or what?
[10:30] <kane77> FourX4Luvn, will paste it
[10:30] <FourX4Luvn> kane77: sorry.. forgot the grep part
[10:30] <dns53> i think kwin and metacity in hardy may do it
[10:30] <balle> how do i mount my ntfs partition (unbootable
[10:30] <sjovan> what to do? http://pastebin.com/d475e7f16 <--- problems with awn

[10:32] <DirkGently> can anyone help me with the wireless problem above?
[10:32] <FourX4Luvn> sjovan: I don't know anything about this awn-applet.. but the UID is your user id.  (type 'id' in a console and look for 'uid=xxxx' .. that's your UID

[10:34] <arke> ok, all widescreen resolutions that I'm using work fine, EXCEPT the native resolution of my monitor (1680x1050). What that does is that the entire picture is bunched up in the left 2/3 of the screen. Other resolutions like 1440x900 etc. work correclty. Any idea what I can do?
[10:35] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Have you tried any resolutions even larger than 1680?
[10:35] <damo22> arke: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... add 1680x1050 to the list
[10:36] <FourX4Luvn> arke: I'm just wondering if perhaps your card and/or driver don't support that large a resolution
[10:36] <tux97> hello how do u remote to a host computer?
[10:36] <FourX4Luvn> tux97: You need to be a bit more specific.. There are MANY ways
[10:36] <balle> fourx4luvn: thx, how can i see my different partitions?
[10:37] <damo22> balle: gparted
[10:37] <arke> FourX4Luvn: no, because my monitor doesn't support them
[10:37] <arke> damo22: already there
[10:37] <balle> i got gparted!
[10:37] <nonix4> tux97: umm, whatever you're actually asking, the answer is ssh.
[10:37] <balle> thx
[10:37] <tux97> ok fourx4luvn when i enable remote desktop and i connect to it remotely using vncviewer it always crashes
[10:37] <FourX4Luvn> lol nonix4
[10:37] <conover> tux97: try 'ssh remote.somewhere.com' and see if you get a login.
[10:37] <eFfeM> hi, i have an odd problem, when I boot I get a message that the time of the superblock is in the future, it forces an fsck, then reboots, then finds the time in the superblock is in the future (endless loop). Any suggestion on how to fix this or what could cause this?
[10:37] <arke> FourX4Luvn: well, the card is a radeon 9200 .... should support it, especially since the nvidia geforce2 worked (but only once and after alot of tweaking as well, for osme reason)
[10:37] <FourX4Luvn> tux97: Remote desktop in Windows?
[10:37] <damo22> use ssh -X
[10:37] <tux97> in ubuntu
[10:37] <steven__>
[10:38] <FourX4Luvn> OH yes.. I forgot that Ubuntu decided to call it the same exact thing.. Makes diagnosing just that much more fun
[10:38] <eFfeM> if I bot from a life cd, fsck tells me my disk is fine
[10:38] <eFfeM> even with -f
[10:38] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Ugh!  You replaced an nVidia card with an ATI when you're running Linux?!

[10:41] <LostOverThere> Man, I'm excited about Hardy :)

[10:43] <LostOverThere> God Damn
[10:43] <DirkGently> FourX4Luvn: yes
[10:43] <LostOverThere> Takes 10 minutes to install Flash player...
[10:43] <moDumass> nonix4 could be, but its for no reason really
[10:43] <LostOverThere> Or I could just not bother upgrading to Firefox 3 Beta 4 and just use Firefox 2
[10:43] <moDumass> like if i wget someothing i get 400k a sec

[10:46] <LostOverThere> woo
[10:46] <balle> four: not by long shot...
[10:46] <nonix4> LostOverThere: prolly most of the people in #ubuntu+1?
[10:47] <FourX4Luvn> moDumass: No worries
[10:47] <titon> i run xubuntu
[10:47] <LostOverThere> heh
[10:47] <LostOverThere> I'd like to check out Ubuntu Beta 1 but I download at a craptacular 3kb/s so yeah
[10:47] <balle> Fourx4luvn: but it's not like it's REALLY important, but i'd like to keep it... like a couple o' hundred hours work
[10:48] <moDumass> nonix4 i have fast internet thats not the prob, the prob is that i dont have fast internet in any browsers
[10:48] <FourX4Luvn> balle: Do you have a windows CD you could boot from?
[10:48] <conover> moDumass: running through a proxy?
[10:48] <nonix4> moDumass: nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80 # quick test to reveal most evil isps
[10:49]  * arke tries to find monitor's sync ranges in the manual to enter them to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:49] <balle> Fourx4luvn: well, i might be able to dig one up yea, is that the easiest or what? and i don't think i have a partition to boot it from...
[10:49] <nonix4> (should show connection refused in like less than a second)
[10:49] <balle> if i boot from the windows, i'd just get the installer right?
[10:49] <moDumass> nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80 #  do i post the whole thing?
[10:49] <sjovan> balle: show me what comand you use when you try to mount
[10:49] <DirkGently> FourX4Luvn: thanks but that looks rather out of date
[10:49] <moDumass> or jsut up to 80
[10:49] <titon> anyone? way to make the distance between the icons on desktop smaler?
[10:49] <arke> FourX4Luvn: sorry for the delay
[10:50] <Starnestommy> moDumass: just to the 80
[10:50] <arke> FourX4Luvn: not sure, actually ... "ati" is the X name for it
[10:50] <balle> Sjovan: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 something like that
[10:50] <Dr_willis> titon,  may be a gconf editor setting. youmight want to ask in #gnome
[10:50] <moDumass> nc -v zelazny.freenode.net 80  gets me connection refused
[10:50] <LostOverThere> titon: doesnt just dragging them closer to each other work?
[10:50] <nonix4> moDumass: as it should :)
[10:50] <sjovan> balle: i pritty shure that is wrong.
[10:50] <arke> FourX4Luvn: I went for the ATI because it's better than the nvidia (in a technical sense), but I had the problem with the nvidia as well (but it worked once, no idea how)
[10:50] <saladdin19> gotta weird error in evolution where any date that i choose for an appointment it keeps saying sunday...thoughts?
[10:50] <titon> no they got there looked places when i move them
[10:50] <FourX4Luvn> balle: I feel dirty mentioning all these Windows ideas.. but unfortunately the Linux support isn't QUITE there yet for NTFS... I would suggest booting from a windows CD, go to the recovery console, and run 'chkdsk /f'
[10:50] <nonix4> moDumass: so at least there isn't a dumb transparent proxy there
[10:51] <LostOverThere> Thats interesting
[10:51] <titon> Dr_willis thx i'll try
[10:51] <balle> sjovan: could you show me the right then perhaps?
[10:51] <moDumass> nonix4 any idea how to speed things up
[10:51] <moDumass> ?
[10:51] <FourX4Luvn> arke: The ATI drivers are not NEARLY as good as nVidia's are for Linux support though.. that's the problem...  ati is the closed driver... you want to run 'radeon'.. It has better support
[10:51] <nonix4> moDumass: well, depends on why it is slow...
[10:52] <balle> fourx4luvn:  haha, damn you wouldnt recommend doing a forcemount to try and get the data over?
[10:52] <conover> moDumass: traceroute remote.somewhere.com might tell you.
[10:52] <jin> hi, what is the command or utility used to list all video tracks and audio tracks on a dvd?
[10:52] <arke> FourX4Luvn: how's 3D stuff with the open driver?
[10:52] <sjovan> balle: I'm googling for it now :)
[10:52] <nonix4> moDumass: sometimes isps throttle http... or traffic with certain packet sizes
[10:52] <FourX4Luvn> balle: You run a risk of permanent data loss by forcemounting it.. that's the only reason I'm hesitant to tell you to do it
[10:53] <balle> fourx4luvn: and, what are the worst case of forcing it? loss of data?
[10:53] <nonix4> moDumass: packet size heuristics can be fed altered data to your advantage if you wish...
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Supposedly better than the closed driver.  I haven't run ATI in years, so I can't speak from experience, but that's what I've read
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> balle: Yes.
[10:53] <balle> fourx4luvn: well, thx for the heads up, i'll go to my think tank
[10:53] <LostOverThere> Good Luck
[10:53] <balle> sjovan: great thx man..
[10:53] <KR-data> what do I need to make sure my system continues to be fast an good? What kind of maintenance is needed? (I mean like you need to defrag in Windows)
[10:53] <FourX4Luvn> balle: No prob.  Good luck
[10:53] <saladdin19> gotta weird error in evolution where any date that i choose for an appointment it keeps saying sunday...is there any update for this?
[10:53] <balle> thx
[10:53] <arke> FourX4Luvn: reason I ask is because I plan to run call of duty on wine at the LAN party next weekend :)
[10:54] <FourX4Luvn> DirkGently: It is old, but wpa_supplicant is still the way to do it at boot
[10:54] <arke> FourX4Luvn: anywya, I'll switch to the radeon driver in a few moments. I'm going to try finding the monitor refresh rates in the manual and giving them to X first.
[10:55] <FourX4Luvn> arke: Tis a good idea.  No guarantee what I said will work either.. Just that it has a slightly better chance of working
[10:56] <sjovan> balle: sorry mate. looks like you don't need to download a special pack and have some numbers behinde NTFS any more. It was that way in 7.04... Have you tryed to play with it in fstab? maby that can help

[11:01] <ghf> please help me I am a newbie in UBUNTU I installed xine-plugin 1.1.7 while 1.1.10 is still installed ans now when I do xine-check I get :unable to determine plugin directory
[11:02] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: Try removing both instances of xine-plugin, then reinstalling just the one you want
[11:02] <balle> i am unable to mount correct ntfs my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60714/
[11:02] <tvade> Hello all, please help Iam trying to create a small home internet network but nothing works
[11:02] <Dr_willis> tvade,  can the machines ping each other? or do you mean you need samba help?  or just totally lost?
[11:03] <tvade> yes they ping each otehr but no internet
 I already removed 1.1.10 from synaptic
 the problem is still
[11:03] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: remove the other one too.. then reinstall it
[11:03] <Dr_willis> balle,  well like the error messages imply. You 'should' take the hard drive and have a windows machie check it for errors.. or use the force option (which is unsafe , to force it to mount)
I want to remove 1.1.17 but I dont know how since I installed it manually and it is not in Synaptic??
[11:04] <tvade> Dr_willis main pc has two network cards: 1st for internet; 2nd goes to wifi router
[11:04] <arke> ghf: did you install from source?
[11:04] <FourX4Luvn> tvade: Are you trying to get one computer to connect to the internet by sharing the other's connection?  Or do you have a seperate router?
[11:04] <balle> Dr_willis well, its a partition on my harddrive, never been errors on it, oh what the hell, i'll force boot it out of this world
[11:04] <sjovan> balle: try sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and then mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
[11:05] <tvade> The first card has automatic connection; 2nd has static
[11:05] <Dr_willis> balle,  if you dont shut down windows properly or it crashes it does that flagging as bad.
[11:05] <sjovan> balle: but you should set this up in ftsab. makes things much easyer after a re-boot
[11:05] <sjovan> balle: sudo mount *
[11:05] <FourX4Luvn> tvade: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[11:05] <balle> sjovan: what is ftsab?
[11:06] <ghf> yes I had the source from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/91500
[11:06] <moDumass>  my tracerout www.newto.org http://www.pastebin.org/24958
 yes I had the source from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/91500
[11:06] <balle> Dr_willis: there have never been windows on there...
 how can I remove it now??
[11:06] <arke> ghf: do you still have the source folder you used/
[11:06] <moDumass> nonix4 http://www.pastebin.org/24958
yes sure
[11:07] <tvade> main machine is windows; ashamed but can't do other
[11:07] <fabouney> Hi !
[11:07] <fabouney> Where is it best to install the software (not packages) in /usr/ ocal? or in personnal directory ?
[11:07] <Dr_willis> balle,  is it a ntfs filesystem? If so . its been flagged as bad.. either let windows  fix it.. or try the variouyt linux ntfs fs fixing tools.. or use the force option. and risk data loss.
[11:07] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: go into the source folder and try 'make uninstall' or 'make deinstall'
[11:07] <sjovan> balle: nano /etc/fstab <--- it's where you set up the info for the different mounts, so you don't have to remount everytime you turn off the computer
ok
[11:08] <FourX4Luvn> ghf: Sorry.. prefix those with 'sudo'
 this is my tracerout www.newto.org http://www.pastebin.org/24958

[11:09] <sjovan> balle: if you don't know the uuid, then use this command ---> vol_id -u <partition>
[11:09] <sjovan> balle: did the 3g pack work?
[11:09] <foldart> fabouney: your directory if it's for alone,  /usr/local if it's to be used by others on your pc
[11:10] <sjovan> balle: you there?
[11:11] <foldart> fabouney: *for you alone*
[11:11] <fabouney> foldart, People tell me to install it in / opt, is this really?
[11:11] <FourX4Luvn> sjovan: balle tends to run off for a while at a times I've noticed.. heh
[11:12]  * arke runs off now for a bit
[11:12]  * arke will then try his luck with the radeon driver
ok  I removed it and then reinstalled 1.1.10 from synaptic
[11:12] <foldart> fabouney: /opt is really for downloaded software that's not in your package manager
but now when I do xine-check I get : no plugin directory (/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10)
[11:13] <sjovan> FourX4Luv: ah, well then he is on his own from now then :)
[11:13] <fabouney> foldart, yes the software that i want install isn't come from package, i downloaded it
and that is true I didnt find /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10

[11:28] <NinaOdel1> I'm totally new to LINUX - I know what you're talking about sorta howefield, but I'm told that apt is not recommended for this upgrade...

[11:36] <MaiK_> ??
[11:37] <NinaOdel1> er, just the command I mean
[11:38] <KalEl> foldart, nah those two seem to be connected - time in /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout = time in gpm - 600 seconds
[11:38] <KalEl> is there any way i can ask gpm to force monitor sleep, just to check if it can do it at all?

[11:40] <MinusSeven> I have the allows set, but in the  .oidentd.conf  file, what do I put for the reply ?
[11:40] <amortvigil> hey what can i do to stop compiz from kicking itself out onece in half a hour?
[11:41] <g0th> sjovan: that didn't help
[11:41] <g0th> sjovan: I can't even use the "tab" key to find the file name
[11:41] <sjovan>  NinaOdel1: hmmm... i'm not talking about any commands...
[11:42] <nikro> amortvigil, turn it off i.e.
[11:42] <Starnestommy> MinusSeven: try an idented lint with just "random" on it
[11:42] <MinusSeven> I'll try that, thanks
[11:42] <g0th> sjovan: hmm it works as a user strange as root not, but anyway if I try to rename the directory it says: "mv: cannot stat `$$$ AAA H_rspiele $$$/': No such file or directory"
[11:42] <sjovan> g0th: show me how you tryed to do it. pastebin.com it :)
[11:42] <amortvigil> nikro but i want to have compiz and it worked fine before
[11:42] <MinusSeven> won't it just say "random" ?
[11:42] <foldart> KalEl: i don't know sorry
[11:43] <g0th> mv \$\$\$\ AAA\ H_rspiele\ \$\$\$/ t
[11:43] <g0th> where the filename came from tab completion
[11:43] <g0th> but I also tried stuff like "mv *piele* test"
[11:43] <jin> is there a utility to compress a folder into several files of x MB?
[11:44] <nikro> amortvigil, my experience is that compiz in gutsy isn't as stable as it should be...
[11:44] <Starnestommy> MinusSeven: try this: http://pastebin.com/m7ec0ddb0 it should send a random rreply
[11:44] <sjovan> g0th: pleas pastebin the wholde things so i can se the dir.tree and stuff. that din't help me at all
[11:44] <Starnestommy> *reply
[11:44] <g0th> hmm all right but nothing new there
[11:44] <KalEl> foldart, it's alright, thank you
[11:44] <MinusSeven> ok
[11:44] <rahmen> glxinfo says: "direct rendering: No" and "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect". lspci says "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]". Can someone help me? The guides I've followed has not worked.

[11:46] <g0th> sant: use mplayer
[11:46] <amortvigil> is there a progeam in ubuntu to cange the avi resolution?
[11:46] <g0th> amortvigil: what do you mean?
[11:47] <g0th> amortvigil: to crop or to scale a movie? Only view scaled/cropped or really change it?
[11:47] <amortvigil> g0th: a utility that can scange the resolution ( scale) so it is viewable on my mp3 player
[11:48] <g0th> ok, so you want to reencode the movie
[11:48] <g0th> there are a lot of encoding tools
[11:48] <g0th> what kind of mp3 player do you have?
[11:48] <g0th> ipod?
[11:48] <ere4si> amortvigil: avidemux is a good gui app for that
[11:49] <g0th> for ipod there is a special conversion tool that is probably best to use
[11:49] <sjovan> g0th: try --->  mv $<tab> then push A and tab onther time
[11:49] <amortvigil> thanx ere4si , no g0th its creative
[11:49] <sjovan> the \$ part is wrong
[11:49] <g0th> the problem is: those mp3 players do not only expect certain resolution, they also expect several other things, so you need to be _very_ specific when you encode to view it on your player
[11:49] <balle> sry for running off like that to the people who have helped me, i'm in the process of moving, i was wondering, can't i just re-flag the partition that has been flagged as "possibly bad"

[11:51] <rahmen> I need help with my ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600].. can't make direct rendering working. I've tried many guides..
[11:52] <g0th> sjovan: it doesn't help still the same
[11:52] <sjovan> sorry, but then i can't help you
[11:52] <g0th> sjovan: from a friend
[11:52] <g0th> I have several folders like that
[11:52] <g0th> on macosx I can very simply rename them
[11:52] <g0th> just on my linux box it fails
[11:52] <openguru> anyone here who know how to recover deleted partition ?
[11:53] <x__> Hello everyone ....  which program woks like Microsoft Outlook on Gnome ?!
[11:53] <g0th> evolution?
[11:53] <Starnestommy> x__: evolution?
[11:53] <x__> evolution ?!
[11:53] <balle> is the code for mounting a ntfs system: sudo mount -t ntfs and then dir?
[11:53] <wers> how do I let evolution receive my messages from my gmail account? :)
[11:53] <x__> how i can install it ... i mean command line
[11:54] <Starnestommy> x__: sudo apt-get install evolution
[11:54] <cr_tmn_az> girlzzzzzzzz
[11:54] <g0th> apt-get install evolution should work probably
[11:54] <ere4si> g0th: in nautilus you can right click the foders - select properties then the permissions tab - who owns the folders?
[11:54] <KalEl> when i do 'lshal | grep can_suspend' i see that it is set to false; it is not due to gpm, as 'gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager' shows can_suspend is set to true
[11:54] <x__> thanks :-)
[11:54] <g0th> ere4si: if I click on the folder in nautilus it disappears
[11:54] <balle> is the code for mounting a ntfs system: sudo mount -t ntfs and then dir?
[11:54] <KalEl> is there any other reason HAL won't support suspend?
[11:54] <openguru> please :(
[11:54] <g0th> it is owned by root
[11:54] <g0th> root.root
[11:54] <g0th> drwxr-xr-x
[11:54] <ere4si> g0th: and the group?
[11:54] <ere4si> k
[11:55] <g0th> it is not a permission problem
[11:55] <g0th> it has something to do with the strange characters
[11:55] <g0th> that's the reason I want to rename it to get rid of them
[11:55] <g0th> is there another tool to rename directories besides mv and nautilus?
[11:56] <g0th> and mc which also fails
[11:56] <Frogzoo> KalEl: you've the right settings in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[11:56] <g0th> btw I can cd into the directory
[11:56] <Frogzoo> g0th: use a * to match the wierd characters
[11:57] <ere4si> g0th: have you put the filename in quotes when using mv?
[11:57] <g0th> I tried that already
[11:57] <g0th> I tried all that
[11:57] <g0th> nothing works
[11:57] <g0th> when I do ls inside the directory I get:
[11:57] <Sigmund`Fraud> Can anyone experienced with wine-doors head over to #wine-doors, the channel is empty and I've got a problem.
[11:57] <g0th> LSD|Ninja: .: No such file or directory
[11:58] <g0th> "ls.: No such file or directory"
[11:58] <g0th> sry
[11:58] <g0th> "ls: .: No such file or directory"
