[00:00] <Sionide21> whack: A bit
[00:00] <whack> is it anygood
[00:01] <ben__> Brownster: Are you familiar with the audio program Grip?
[00:01] <tofaffy> What are some good "Winblows Movie Maker" alternatives. In kino, you can only import videos, and not pictures...so I dun wanna use kino.
[00:01] <logankoester> p_quarles: llamakc: http://pastebin.ca/816785
[00:01] <p_quarles> whack: it's very good. a little more "bleeding edge" than Ubuntu
[00:01] <some_idiot> err, how long does it take the ubuntu developers to update a tupid md5sum and get flashplugin0-nonfree to work again?
[00:01] <Brownster> ben__, I do use it why?
[00:01] <Sionide21> It was ok when I used it (A few years back). APT is much faster than YUM
[00:01] <whack> I find ubuntu slow
[00:01] <logankoester> whack: I just came back from FC7 and FC8 and I'm loving 7.10
[00:01] <Greevous> can anyone tell me what key(s) correspond to shortcuts that begin with "0x..."?
[00:01] <ben__> Brownster: I am having troubles ripping files to my new partion, perhaps the permissions are messed up, any ideas?
[00:02] <logankoester> Honestly I was very underwhelmed with fc8
[00:02] <kazol__> I have a problem with the system completely crashing due to compiz (possibly due to a conflict with Xgl). How can I check whether I'm using Xgl for rendering?
[00:02] <Flare183> !repeat | Greevous
[00:02] <ubotu> Greevous: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[00:02] <logankoester> Ubuntu 7.10 is a much stronger release imho
[00:02] <Ubuntu2> can anybody tell me the main dif betweeen kunbuntu and ubuntu and what they recommend
[00:02] <peeps> is there a utility that can help me convert a hex value to base64
[00:02] <Brownster> ben__, whats the mount point of the partition?
[00:02] <p_quarles> logankoester: I've seen similar things happen before. If you're using Firefox, try another browser
[00:03] <Flare183> Ubuntu2:> kubuntu is using the kde interface and ubuntu use the gnome interface
[00:03] <p_quarles> the LAMP stack in 7.10 is . . . problematic
[00:03] <ben__> Brownster: /media/files/music/
[00:03] <_MrPink2007_> Ubuntu2: kubuntu runs with KDE and Ubuntu runs with Gnome... I personally am not a fan of KDE but that is just a preference... to find out the exact differences you might want to check google...
[00:03] <logankoester> p_quarles: so I've noticed... heh
[00:03] <onats> i have a problem with my ubuntu 7.10 installation. sometimes the title bar of my windows disappear
[00:03] <onats> anyone got this problem?
[00:03] <SpookyET> Where is the dodge plugin?
[00:03] <Brownster> ben__, so what does ls -ld /media/files/music/ show?
[00:03] <jorgp> p_quarles: please explains
[00:04] <peeps> onats: do you have desktop effects enabled?
[00:04] <Flare183> onats:> it's a bug between compiz and emerald i have the same problem just run emerald --replace to fix it
[00:04] <]Spectre[> no onats
[00:04] <ben__> Brownster: drwxrwxrwx 3 ben ben 4096 2007-12-15 00:03 /media/files/music/
[00:04] <onats> peeps, yes i do.
[00:04] <p_quarles> jorgp: well, I saw the same thing when trying to run a PHP program in Firefox ... it opened right up in Opera, so the config was right.
[00:04] <whack> Is there just a command line linux
[00:04] <onats> flare183, what do you mean just run emerald/replace to fix?
[00:04] <jorgp> p_quarles: interesting
[00:05] <p_quarles> i normally use debian as a web server
[00:05] <ari_stress> good morning all :_
[00:05] <llamakc> logankoester, you don't have the 'php5' package installed. that metapackage usually takes care of issues for me.
[00:05] <Sionide21> whack: Sure, just don't install X
[00:05] <_MrPink2007_> whack yes I am pretty certain there is, just leave away the X-Server
[00:05] <jskulski> Sionide21: i followed similar stuff. but theres a point where each say "You should be able to use getent passwd and it will get ldap entries. well that just doesn't happen.
[00:05] <Flare183> onats:> it you run emerald --replace it fixs the title bar is was missing so emerald fixs that
[00:05] <Brownster> what about /media/files/
[00:05] <onats> ahhhhh
[00:05] <Sionide21> jskulski: Is there an error message or just blank or what?
[00:06] <whack> mr pink what is the x server
[00:06] <ben__> Brownster: drwxrwxrwx 6 ben root 4096 2007-12-14 23:43 /media/files/
[00:06] <onats> flare183, fantastic!! EET WORKS!:D thanks!
[00:06] <jorgp> p_quarles: so the problematic part is php?
[00:06] <Flare183> onats:> see i told you
[00:06] <logankoester> p_quarles: llamakc: I just installed the php5 package and opera, same problem still
[00:06] <Flare183> onats:> your welcome
[00:06] <p_quarles> i don't know, honestly, and I haven't checked out launchpad on it . . . it seems to be firefox + php5
[00:06] <jskulski> Sionide21: just gives me the /etc/passwd
[00:06] <jorgp> logankoester: is there a bug posted about it?
[00:07] <logankoester> Not that I could find
[00:07] <jorgp> hmm
[00:07] <jskulski> but i looked in network traffic, and the ldap server RETURNS all the entries, but getent doesn't display them
[00:07] <llamakc> logankoester, are you restarting apache with `sudo apache2ctl restart`
[00:07] <jorgp> p_quarles: does it work with any other browser?
[00:07] <logankoester> llamakc: damn, that did it!
[00:07] <logankoester> thank you!
[00:07] <mr_flea__> does anyone know how to manually build the mac80211 and iwlwifi packages? i googled, but the only solution i found is to download and compile the vanilla sources, something i really would like to avoid. i have kernel sources and build-dep but it still doesn't compile with the error "Kernel Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source/'". any help would be greatly appreciated.
[00:07] <Sionide21> jskulski: One problem I had was the server was pointed at ldap*i*://server when it should have been ldap://server
[00:07] <logankoester> llamakc: I was using /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[00:08] <llamakc> btw wordpress is in the repositories too
[00:08] <p_quarles> jorgp: in my experience, all of them except for firefox
[00:08] <Brownster> try touching a file within that directory does that work?
[00:08] <vasuvi> Is there any way to get Ubuntu to recognize the right <alt> key as well as the left one?  Also, any (non-arcane) way to get the extra keys on the top of my keyboard to do what I want them to?
[00:08] <jorgp> logankoester: what did you do different?
[00:08] <macogw> vasuvi: right alt is AltGr
[00:08] <macogw> vasuvi: it's the key you use to get á and é and ß since those arent on a normal keyboard
[00:08] <R3B3LX> is there any good free mmos for linux? using wine or just normal linux..(no wow pls)
[00:08] <Flare183> brb
[00:08] <logankoester> jorgp: restarted with apache2ctl instead
[00:08] <whack> Does the gcc come with a assembler
[00:09] <jskulski> Sionide21: did you set this up with ubuntu or debian?
[00:09] <timmyd803> i've got boot issues with Ubuntu
[00:09] <logankoester> llamakc: jorgp: but I'm having the problem still inside of a directory... it works with test.php (phpinfo();)
[00:09] <vasuvi> macogw: And which file can I edit to get Ubuntu to recognize AltGr as a normal alt to use when web-browsing, or bringing up a menu? ;)
[00:09] <logankoester> might be a permissions problem then?
[00:09] <timmyd803> it hangs when it loads rc.local
[00:09] <Sionide21> jskulski: Debian

[00:10] <macogw> vasuvi: heh im looking in system > pref > keyboard > layout options.  if you've ever used an old early 90s or 80s keyboard you'll probably have seen AltGr written in green on that key
[00:10] <logankoester> /var/www/wordpress tries to download the file even now that it has the same permissions as /var/www/test.php

[00:10] <llamakc> oh, you have to follow the docs in /usr/share/doc/wordpress
[00:10] <timmyd803> can anyone help me out?
[00:11] <timmyd803> i'm totally lost
[00:11] <logankoester> I didn't install wordpress from the repo
[00:11] <logankoester> I just extracted it to that directory from targz
[00:11] <llamakc> oh, my bad
[00:11] <llamakc> what does the wordpress readme say?
[00:11] <macogw> vasuvi: one option, if you don't use the menu key, is to make super be alt and menu be super...
[00:11] <macogw> vasuvi: super means the sun, apple, window, tux, or ubuntu logo (depending on your keyboard)
[00:12] <vasuvi> macogw: that's an interesting possibility I hadn't thought of...  and I have used 80's and early 90's keyboards, but so long ago I don't even remember the AltGr
[00:12] <Flare183> macogw:> or the "meta" button
[00:12] <logankoester> It seems to only be a problem with the wordpress subdir
[00:12] <logankoester> hmm
[00:12] <logankoester> thanks for your help guys
[00:12] <Kristyn> can anyone help me out?
[00:12] <llamakc> have you setup the database yet?
[00:12] <Flare183> !ask | Krisyn
[00:12] <ubotu> Krisyn: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[00:12] <macogw> Flare183: yeah if you use escape meta alt control shift, you might need that ;P\
[00:13] <Flare183> yeah
[00:13] <logankoester> llamakc: no, shouldn't have to at this point though
[00:13] <Kristyn> !ask
[00:13] <vasuvi> macogw: I do tend to use the super key to control Amarok, but the menu button isn't really used any
[00:13] <Kristyn> !ask | Kristyn
[00:13] <Flare183> already done that
[00:13] <t3hwiz0rd> how do i manually add a monitor to xorg?
[00:13] <logankoester> Not having set up the database wouldn't effect the page's mime-type
[00:13] <macogw> vasuvi: well its in system > pref > keyboard > layout options >alt/win key behavior
[00:13] <Kristyn> right right
[00:13] <Kristyn> i've checked with ubotu
[00:13] <Kristyn> he can't help
[00:13] <vasuvi> macogw: cool, I'll try it out; thanks!
[00:13] <macogw> vasuvi: thats the 2nd to last
[00:13] <Flare183> Kristyn:> he is a bot
[00:13] <Kristyn> i know :D
[00:13] <dor0> hello guys, any idea why i have 16 desktops instead of 4 in KDE compiz?
[00:14] <dylan_> Hi, all.  I'm wondering, is there an easy solution to setting up a LAMP-type web server on Ubuntu 7.10 desktop through synaptic, etc.?  If not, what's the simplest way to get a phpmyadmin, mysql, php, apache server set up?  Security is NOT important, its for personal site testing on my LAN.
[00:14] <Flare183> !lamp | dylan_
[00:14] <ubotu> dylan_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[00:14] <macogw> dylan_: use the task select
[00:14] <R3B3LX> yo dor0 right click ur desktop
[00:14] <R3B3LX> and choose 4
[00:14] <Ubuntu2> need java help for opera
[00:14] <vasuvi> macogw: interesting..."Alt and Meta are on the Alt keys (default)" seems to do the trick.  So much for it being the default
[00:14] <jorgp> dor0: because you have a mac daddy system?
[00:14] <logankoester> dylan_: I'm having a hellll of a time doing the same thing right now...
[00:14] <llamakc> logankoester: http://pastebin.ca/816811
[00:14] <orochi_> Hmm...C++ is an intimidating language to try and teach yourself :/
[00:14] <macogw> vasuvi: odd
[00:14] <R3B3LX> Right click ---> Pereferences and choose 4
[00:15] <llamakc> for what i have in my apache2.conf
[00:15] <macogw> orochi_: yes, it likes to segfault more than c does
[00:15] <dor0> no i have a very good pc
[00:15] <dylan_> logankoester: ive done it before, just forgot how.
[00:15] <vasuvi> macogw: well, at least I got it working :)
[00:15] <dylan_> macogw: thx, checking it out
[00:15] <logankoester> dylan_: me too, but not with 7.01
[00:15] <logankoester> 7.10*
[00:15] <_Roman> Is there a standard way to run a script when a user logs out of an x session?  (this is using ubunut 7.10)  I want individual users to have their own scripts.
[00:15] <dor0> is strange, the desktops 4 here in settings, but in traybar are still 16
[00:15] <R3B3LX> dor0:  Right click ---> Pereferences and choose 4
[00:15] <macogw> dor0: "mac daddy" is a compliment
[00:15] <R3B3LX> umm
[00:15] <R3B3LX> mabeh change ur rows?
[00:16] <logankoester> llamakc: logankoester@family-hp:/var/www$ cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | grep php
[00:16] <logankoester> logankoester@family-hp:/var/www$
[00:16] <logankoester> nothin
[00:16] <macogw> dor0: check your horizontal virtual size in ccsm
[00:16] <emefarr_> new install & looking for a way to install all -dev files for installed packages rather than a few at a time as I get dependency errors while installing additional packages?
[00:16] <dor0> just a second please
[00:16] <macogw> !ccsm > macogw
[00:16] <logankoester> llamakc: would you mind posting your whole apache2.conf?
[00:16] <llamakc> sure.
[00:16] <silent_> ]Spectre[: that's an odd problem, have you tried different drivers?
[00:16] <dor0> it say: horizontal 4, verical 1, desktops 4, is that correct?
[00:16] <macogw> emefarr_: why do you need the -dev?
[00:17] <macogw> dor0: set it to 1 desktop
[00:17] <wy> How can Ubuntu recognize my FreeAgent drive?
[00:17] <Ubuntu2> I have enabled java in opera it still does not work went to the java site it says that java is installed and I have the latest version
[00:17] <mr_flea> repost because i got disconnected: does anyone know how to manually build the mac80211 and iwlwifi packages? i googled, but the only solution i found is to download and compile the vanilla sources, something i really would like to avoid. i have kernel sources and build-dep but it still doesn't compile with the error "Kernel Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source/'". any help would be greatly appreciated.
[00:17] <emefarr_> compiling from source
[00:17] <macogw> dor0: i think
[00:17] <dor0> well, i put it on 1, and is working
[00:17] <dor0> sweet
[00:17] <macogw> emefarr_: if you need all the dev headers for a specific program that is packaged where you are getting the same or newer version, you can get its build dependencies with "sudo apt-get build-dep <program>"
[00:17] <dor0> is that a bug or i missunderstood the problem?
[00:18] <macogw> dor0: missunderstood
[00:18] <llamakc> http://pastebin.ca/816816 there's stuff in there for squirrelmail and some rewrite rules near the bottom that you won't need probably
[00:18] <macogw> dor0: it made 4 desktops each with 4 viewports
[00:18] <dor0> oh, i see
[00:18] <Jamesinator> When I use the GUI printing job manager to cancel a print job, the job I deleted disappears, but my printer still tries to print the page, even after restarting the cupsys process. Is there any way to force-flush the document queue?
[00:18] <emefarr_> macogw: Thanks!  I'll try that.
[00:18] <askand> I was having the " Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display" problem and was told to start programs with something in front in the terminal... It was something like "DISPLAY:1 cedega"..can someone help me?
[00:18] <macogw> dor0: the sides of the cube aren't individual desktops to compiz.  they're viewports to one big desktop.  that's why they all collapse into one workspace when you switch back to metacity
[00:18] <dor0> btw, how can i make my cube transparent?
[00:19] <macogw> askand: probably display:0
[00:19] <logankoester> llamakc: thanks
[00:19] <macogw> dor0: go into the cube settings in ccsm and click the "transparency" tab
[00:19] <llamakc> i have my ServerName near the bottom too, don't forget to change/remove that
[00:19] <askand> macogw: im being told that the display:0 command cant be found
[00:19] <Flare183> askand:> edit your xorg.conf file and add Load "dri" to the long "load" list
[00:20] <askand> Flare183:  have done that but doesnt help..think it is because I run xgl
[00:20] <macogw> askand: i dont know the command.  i just know 0 is default display so unless someone logged in before you, itll be 0
[00:20] <Flare183> askand:> i'm running aiglx so beats me
[00:21] <dor0> haha, sweet, thanks mate
[00:21] <unbeatabl> how can i check which user is using up the most cpu/memory/bandwidth? is there some good tools or scripts for this? preferably with a gui frontend would be nice too, is mrtg the one for this?
[00:21] <wy> Is there a convenient tool for configuring VPN in Linux?
[00:22] <dor0> btw, i am using xchat, there is any other better irc client?
[00:22] <unbeatabl> bitchX
[00:22] <unbeatabl> god i love saying that =p
[00:22] <crdlb> bitchX is horrendously insecure
[00:22] <dor0> thats text mode right?
[00:22] <Jamesinator> When I use the GUI printing job manager to cancel a print job, the job I deleted disappears, but my printer still tries to print the page, even after restarting the cupsys process. Is there any way to force-flush the document queue?
[00:23] <crdlb> if you're going to use a text-mode client, use irssi
[00:23] <heatmzzr> crdlb, bitc&x
[00:23] <qwaz> Hi all!  I'm trying to setup and test fetchmail and procmail but I get an MDA error when I execute fetchmail...
[00:23] <unbeatabl> i just wanted to say, bitchX
[00:23] <unbeatabl> thats lal
[00:23] <pianoboy3333> how do I force remove pidgin-data and only pidgin.data
[00:23] <Cr3ature> how do i map my mouse thumb button to do stuff?
[00:23] <unbeatabl> i know bitchX sucks
[00:23] <qwaz> it says /usr/bin/procmail not found...but it's there
[00:23] <unbeatabl> anyhow,  how can i check which user is using up the most cpu/memory/bandwidth? is there some good tools or scripts for this? preferably with a gui frontend would be nice too, is mrtg the one for this?
[00:23] <R3B3LX> yo guys im trying to find a program that will rip mp3s from a cd to ur computer.... or something that can translate it to work in a normal cd player... or something that will at least burn it
[00:24] <pianoboy3333> R3B3LX: sound-juicer and serpentine
[00:24] <logankoester> llamakc: since its only a problem with wordpress I'm just gonna use a different server that's already set up, I've got plenty laying around
[00:24] <logankoester> thanks though
[00:24] <R3B3LX> that will work?
[00:24] <ch8ind> i just installed ubuntu and i havent used nix0r in awhile
[00:24] <R3B3LX> thx
[00:24] <pianoboy3333> R3B3LX: yes, they are in the repositories
[00:24] <llamakc> ok, weird one though
[00:24] <ch8ind> this new xchat i think sucks balls
[00:24] <dylan_> R3B3LX: i believe k3b can burn mp3s to cd.  various players can rip, including i think amarok (im a kde person personally)
[00:24] <logankoester> very
[00:24] <flipmode> how do i open a .rar file?
[00:24] <ch8ind> i want my nicklist!
[00:25] <logankoester> flipmode: unrar <file>
[00:25] <logankoester> flipmode: sudo apt-get install unrar
[00:25] <pianoboy3333> flipmode: isntall the unrar package
[00:25] <llamakc> brbeer
[00:25] <Flare183> !rar
[00:25] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[00:25] <Jamesinator> Fixed it myself, thanks for the zero-responses everyone
[00:25] <Sajes> How do I change a user account name from the command line?
[00:26] <qwaz> Sajes, try "usermod"
[00:26] <qwaz> with, perhaps, -l
[00:26] <qwaz> or -d or -m
[00:26] <dor0> ok, one last question, i have compiz + emerald (with a nice glass theme), is there anything more what i can enable?
[00:27] <qwaz> then man usermod for all sorts of goodies!
[00:27] <blizzo1> What headers package do I need to download so I can patch some audio/video drivers that are giving me trouble?  Specifically, I want to patch the cx88_alsa driver.  I'm currently using 2.6.22-14-generic.
[00:27] <llamakc> usermod -l NEWNAME OLDNAME
[00:27] <wy> I want to find something like pptp-config. Where is it?
[00:27] <pcd|> if my wireless card is showing as "RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI" under hardware, does that mean it was detected correctly?
[00:28] <desertc> question: How do I reset my video settings?  Some games will leave the video in 640x480 (or whatever) when they exit, leaving my monitor in pan-and-scan mode.  I generally have to reset X to fix it.
[00:28] <vocx> pcd|, yes. Although it is one thing being detected and another that the drivers for it work.
[00:28] <vocx> desertc, if you find the answer let me know.    What games?  Have you played "rrotage"?
[00:29] <pianoboy3333> how do I force remove pidgin-data and only pidgin-data
[00:29] <vasuvi> dor0: BTW. I like the vanilla XChat better than the GNOME-ified version (which is awful IMHO).  You can also try Konversation (even within GNOME); I like plain XChat and Konversation about equally
[00:29] <Johnson> hey whenever i computer goes to hibernate,(which it does on its own), and I come back, the wireless stops working. i use the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart but it just says ignoring eth0, ignoring wlan0, etc. any ideas
[00:29] <dylan_> macogw: should my `sudo tasksel install lamp-server` be sitting still at 100% progress of installing php5-mysql on a 300KB/s connection with an AMD64 CPU?
[00:29] <desertc> vocx: Never tried it, do you have a link for it?
[00:30] <pianoboy3333> Johnson: what kinda processor do you have?
[00:30] <pianoboy3333> Johnson_: what kinda processor do you have?
[00:30] <Johnson_> pianoboy3333: i have a intel dual core
[00:30] <desertc> vocx: can't even find it with google
[00:31] <dor0> brb, switching to konversation
[00:31] <vocx> desertc, it's actually "rrootage"  And you can get it from Ubuntu repositories. Please try it.
[00:31] <theunixgeek> What distro has the default GNOME desktop and apps without customization?
[00:31] <tehm0nk> is kubuntu or ubuntu friendly with raid?
[00:31] <Azzmodan> theunixgeek, the regular one
[00:31] <theunixgeek> Azzmodan: there's a regular one? :P
[00:31] <tehm0nk> i dont know how to get either one to recognize the strip setup i have already
[00:31] <Azzmodan> theunixgeek, oh you jsut want gnome?
[00:31] <pianoboy3333> Johnson_: I remember in feisty my computer did that after hibernating cause of the hyperthreading with my intel P4, so I'm not sure if that's fixed or not, you should ask someone else or google the issue
[00:32] <theunixgeek> Azzmodan: yes
[00:32] <]Spectre[> bye
[00:32] <desertc> vocx: trying it now
[00:32] <p_quarles> theunixgeek: LFS.
[00:32] <Johnson_> k
[00:32] <Azzmodan> theunixgeek, you could try the gnome developer kit http://live.gnome.org/GnomeDeveloperKit
[00:32] <p_quarles> theunixgeek: Of course, you can also use the alternate disk to install a CLI system, then get gnome-core
[00:32] <]Spectre[> no silent_,I haven't tried different drivers,I think that I can use only proprietary ati drivers,or not ? thanks
[00:33] <]Spectre[> silent_,
[00:33] <theunixgeek> p_quarles: true
[00:33] <theunixgeek> Azzmodan: By no customization, I mean having this as the default desktop look: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/figures/rnintroduction-screenshot.png
[00:33] <]Spectre[> ops
[00:34] <desertc> vocx: it looks nice!  what are the keys for it?  I only can use the arrows to select the game mode
[00:34] <vocx> theunixgeek, just install Ubuntu. It has no "customization" as you say, just a clean desktop.
[00:34] <desertc> vocx: Oh, I found them!
[00:34] <vocx> desertc, shoot!
[00:34] <theunixgeek> vocx: yes it does - the Human theme and no GNOME wallpaper
[00:34] <p_quarles> theunixgeek: Not a Gnome user myself, but I'm guessing you might have some luck with Gentoo, Slackware, or Arch. All pretty low-customization distros.
[00:35] <silent_> ]Spectre[: try flgrx
[00:35] <theunixgeek> p_quarles: thanks :)
[00:36] <silent_> ]Spectre[: I'm not sure man, try asking the channel again
[00:36] <Nrbelex> Hi, until recently, my wireless card would connect to all networks. Recently it stopped connecting to the network I need it to connect to but will connect to others. Any suggestions?
[00:36] <thor89> ho riavviato il sistema come scritto sulla guida...ho seguito passo passo tutto..ma digitando fglrxinfo non mi compare ciò che dovrebbe
[00:36] <LjL> !it | thor89
[00:36] <ubotu> thor89: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[00:37] <vocx> I always knew ubotu was italian
[00:37] <abdulla> check out my desktop guys :) http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/5/12/13/f_mydesktopm_81765b4.png&srv=img33
[00:37] <blizzo1> Anyone know which headers package I need to download in order to patch the cx88_alsa module and recompile on a pentium4 machine?
[00:38] <SpookyET> How do you localise your Ubuntu desktop after installation?
[00:38] <vocx> blizzo1, by patching you mean actually modifying the source code and then compiling? Do you know how compilation works?
[00:38] <vocx> !locale
[00:38] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[00:39] <blizzo1> vocx: yes, I mean actually modifying cx88_alsa.c
[00:39] <blizzo1> vocx: then unloading my old cx88_alsa.ko module and inserting the new one.
[00:39] <SpookyET> The pidgin spell checker is using broken American english, how do you change it?
[00:40] <ricanelite> why is that when I head over to sites like youtube, google video i get audio and sound but if I head over to a site allgames.com I don't get any audio at all?
[00:40] <alevine> i'm trying to rsync a bunch of backup sets that are mostly hard links to the same file. problem is rsync gets oom errors and dies when building the file list. anybody have a suggestion?
[00:40] <vocx> blizzo1, I'm no expert but I guess there is no "package" containing only patches. For that I think you would need to get the source code from upstream, or maybe launchpad.
[00:41] <blizzo1> vocx: I have the patches.  It's the actual kernel source package from ubuntu that I'm looking for.
[00:41] <vocx> alevine, how big are the files you want to backup?
[00:41] <blizzo1> I already installed the linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic and i386 headers packages.
[00:41] <desertc> vocx: Wow, that rRootage is an amazing game.  I am surprised something like that, with the great music, was made available in Free Software.
[00:41] <alevine> vocx: relatively small, it's my home directory
[00:41] <vocx> blizzo1, oh, I think the package is "linux-source-<version>" or something
[00:41] <alevine> vocx: but all the backup sets combined are about70GB
[00:42] <blizzo1> But I still can't find the cx88_alsa.c file to patch.
[00:42] <blizzo1> vocx, thanks.
[00:43] <desertc> vocx: I found out how to reset the display resolution!  CTRL-ALT and the number pad + or -
[00:43] <vocx> desertc, I have a crappy video card, so I can only play rrootage for a few minutes before it crashes, and if I'm in fullscreen the screen ends up with 640x400 as you said.
[00:44] <Nrbelex> Hi, until recently, my wireless card would connect to all networks. Recently it stopped connecting to the network I need it to connect to but will connect to others. Any suggestions?
[00:44] <Jaja9292> Hello
[00:45] <vocx> desertc, it's a good game, I wish I had time (or the guy at Programming Talk in the forums) to hack the code, add different modes, bosses or something, and better music, or a playlist-whatever.
[00:45] <renegade420> heya can anyone suggest a lightweight programming editor?
[00:45] <cyphase> Say I want to listen to a live audio stream, but I have to stop listening to it every now and then for whatever reason. Is there a program I can use that would record the stream into a buffer as it's playing, and let me play/pause the stream whenever I need to?
[00:45] <desertc> vocx: Did you see my fix for the video ?
[00:46] <vocx> renegade420, basic text editor is a programming editor like gedit,vim, geany. Just pick one.
[00:48] <renegade420> vocx, cool thanks. Is geany easy to learn?
[00:48] <vocx> desertc, I did. Now I recall I had read it somewhere before. Not sure if it's an X or gnome specific shortcut.
[00:48] <f343f34> hey i have a question about ubuntu
[00:48] <spreadsheet> what?
[00:48] <f343f34> when i boot from my cd, the desktop isnt oriented right
[00:48] <spreadsheet> is the question?
[00:49] <f343f34> the toolbars are a third of the way up the screen
[00:49] <f343f34> like the bottom and the top arent oriented right
[00:49] <vocx> renegade420, I would be lying. I haven't used geany because I'm pretty happy with gedit and vim. But others seem to recommend it a lot, because it is lightweight.
[00:49] <f343f34> anyone got any ideas?
[00:50] <vocx> f343f34, I believe there is a way to set the screen resolution in the Live CD when booting. Have you tried different resolutions?
[00:50] <spreadsheet> can't help you, sorry
[00:50] <f343f34> hmm
[00:50] <f343f34> no i havent tried that vocx
[00:50] <p_quarles> f343f34: If you have some reason to not actually install it, you should get a USB drive and use persistent mode
[00:51] <renegade420> vocx, I would probably opt to trying geany
[00:51] <renegade420> vocx, because i am running an eeepc
[00:51] <louist> where do i go to add an icon package?
[00:51] <f343f34> wait
[00:52] <cyphase> Okay, I've figured out a workaround.. Open the stream in VLC, use the advanced options to save it to a file, then listen to it in another VLC instance at the same time. I thought that it would only play up to the point that it was at when you opened the file, but it keeps going as the stream is being downloaded.
[00:52] <f343f34> hey p_quarles how to i use persistent mode?
[00:52] <f343f34> or how do i enter that mode
[00:53] <louist> how do i add icons in ubuntu?
[00:53] <f343f34> would changing the screen resolution not work
[00:53] <f343f34> ?
[00:53] <vocx> renegade420, what is that? SOme sort of alien technology?
[00:53] <quaal> what program can burn bin/cue files
[00:53] <p_quarles> f343f34: tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[00:53] <bibstha> how do i mount a usb, like gnome does, unlike pmount through console
[00:53] <renegade420> vocx, LOL oh it
[00:53] <vocx> !cue
[00:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:54] <renegade420> s the cheapest laptop on the market
[00:54] <renegade420> http://www.eeeuser.com
[00:54] <bibstha> pmount works but, it doesnot display the icons on gnome desktop, i'd like a command line tool??
[00:54] <f343f34> thanks
[00:55] <desertc> quaal: K3B does it
[00:55] <Schiz0> How do you get rid of nm-applet? As in, stop it from running on boot
[00:55] <quaal> desertc, it just failed
[00:55] <Schiz0> I got my network card working without it
[00:55] <NetLarIrvine> would 512 ram 500 mgz machine be good enough for 7.10?
[00:55] <desertc> quaal: cdrecord -dao cuefile=FILE.cue
[00:56] <desertc> quaal: I'm just using Google, by the way
[00:56] <f343f34> but do u know why the toolbars would be 1/3 the way up the screen?
[00:56] <renegade420> NetLarIrvine, maybe Xubuntu
[00:56] <f343f34> is it the resolution is wrong
[00:56] <f343f34> ?
[00:56] <f343f34> toolbars 1/3 the way up the screen = gay
[00:56] <NetLarIrvine> So what is minimum requirement for 7.10 ubuntu?
[00:57] <Benalex> Hello all, can I use a burner on other computer on Lan to burn discs using it?
[00:57] <desertc> renegade420: you are using an Eee PC ?
[00:57] <_mastro_> hi, there's someone who can edit this page of the wiki? ---> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller ? i've another card that have the same chipset with problems
[00:57] <desertc> NetLarIrvine: 256 MB memory is recommended
[00:57] <Slynderdale> Is it possible to install Gutsy Gibbon without using a live CD? I have an older version of Ubuntu installed and I wanted to know if it would be possble to reformat the drive its on and reinstall with using a boot CD?
[00:57] <_mastro_> i would like it fixed :)
[00:57] <Schiz0> Slynderdale: The alt installer.
[00:57] <NetLarIrvine> so if i had 512 and 500 mgz machine?
[00:58] <desertc> NetLarIrvine: You might want to try Xubuntu if you have a now machine
[00:58] <Slynderdale> Schiz0: Where can I find it?
[00:58] <spreadsheet> www.xubuntu.org
[00:58] <spreadsheet> or .com
[00:58] <Schiz0> Slynderdale: On the ubuntu website ? On the download page, check the box that says alt installer.
[00:58] <NetLarIrvine> I do have a machine, but no CD ROM drive and I can only upgrade ubuntu
[00:59] <Nrbelex> Hi, until recently, my wireless card would connect to all networks. Recently it stopped connecting to the network I need it to connect to but will connect to others. Any suggestions?
[00:59] <desertc> NetLarIrvine: You really should learn to use google: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements

[01:00] <heatmzzr> ubuntu rocks, all but the fact I cant watch or rip dvds
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !dvd
[01:01] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:01] <desertc> heatmzzr: that's due to your encrypted DVDs.  my friend's DVDs work great
[01:01] <mozart> guys how do i connect with someone with windows as remote connection to help them out? can i do it through firefox
[01:01] <desertc> heatmzzr: stop purchasing encrypted dvds and you will be all set
[01:01] <desertc> heatmzzr: those things can get you into lots of trouble
[01:01] <heatmzzr> im not, im renting them lol
[01:01] <UserUbuntu> anyone, may help to install azureus in ubuntu.  Couse i never installed a program with .jar
[01:02] <Benalex> NetLarIrvine: As far as I know you cannot upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10 directly... if upgrading is the only choice available to you, then upgrade to thenext version ... then to the next and so on... PLAIN PAIN IN DA BRAIN!!
[01:02] <silent_> heatmzzr: make a statement, download.
[01:02] <mozart> guys how do i connect with someone with windows as remote connection to help them out? can i do it through firefox
[01:02] <NetLarIrvine> oh I know
[01:02] <NetLarIrvine> I am upgrading to 7.04 first
[01:02] <desertc> heatmzzr: there are easy ways to get encrypted dvds to play on Ubuntu, but I am not allowed to talk about electronic restriction circumvention
[01:02] <silent_> desertc: not in this channel
[01:02] <NetLarIrvine> All I wanted to know what the system requirements were for 7.10?
[01:02] <heatmzzr> no i havent even been able to watch them yet, only had ubuntu for about a week, figure id figure it out sometime
[01:02] <silent_> NetLarIrvine: LOW
[01:03] <mozart> i need to connect to someone to help them out on the other side of the globe running windows, whats best and easy, VNC
[01:03] <heatmzzr> silent_? makea statement?
[01:03] <NetLarIrvine> my processor is 500 mgz and my ram is 500mgs
[01:03] <silent_> NetLarIrvine: good to go
[01:04] <silent_> NetLarIrvine: might be a bit choppy though, I suggest xubuntu... or, you know, buy a computer for 20 dollars and run it decently
[01:04] <Benalex> NetLarIrvine: anyway... if this cannot fit GutsyGibbon (which I doubt) you can instal Kbuntu.. it is for old machines
[01:04] <NetLarIrvine> yea i know, but the shipping on computer 20 is like 30
[01:04] <desertc> NetLarIrvine: Walmart is selling Linux computers for $200
[01:04] <NetLarIrvine> ha ha
[01:04] <silent_> NetLarIrvine: look into xubuntu
[01:05] <tifine> join #mysql
[01:05] <alfermp> desertc, Wall-mart sold out ?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Benalex: Kubuntu is not for older machines
[01:05] <NetLarIrvine> can you switch to xubuntu from ubuntu?
[01:05] <desertc> alfermp: they do restock their merchandice, right?
[01:05] <NetLarIrvine> I do not have a working CD rom drive
[01:05] <desertc> NetLarIrvine: yes, they are just additional packages
[01:05] <silent_> NetLarIrvine: yes, install XFCE and make it the default session
[01:05] <alfermp> ok let me check on the website desertc
[01:06] <desertc> alfermp: buy it direct from the manufacter and they will pre-load Ubuntu on it for you
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow>  NetLarIrvine it will run at 500 mhz.. but a bit slow.. I would suggest Dapper 6.06  full featured and stable with lts
[01:06] <mozart> i need to connect to someone to help them out on the other side of the globe running windows, whats best and easy, VNC
[01:06] <spreadsheet> or maybe some other linux

[01:09] <Nrbelex> desertc, it was working fine until very recently, so I suspect it's not a compatibility issue, although it is from the bcm43xx family
[01:09] <desertc> Hardware problems you just can't fix on your own?  Next time, buy a computer with Ubuntu preinstalled and supported
[01:09] <sleepcat> NetLarIrvine: if you're having trouble with ubuntu, you may try Solaris 10.  It is a bit easier to get going
[01:09] <spreadsheet> solaris!
[01:09] <spreadsheet> isn't that like 40 g?
[01:09] <spreadsheet> or 4?
[01:09] <heatmzzr> i think i must have got lucky with my vaio and installation, it was a snap. unless i want to watch a movie

[01:13] <ilovefedora> is there a howto around?
[01:13] <YannTech> ouellettesr, try to install CUPS in synaptics panel
[01:13] <sleepcat> the problem was that solaris has its own version of grub that understands UFS and when ubuntu overwrote it, it made solaris unbootable
[01:13] <desertc> XiXaQ: oh, sorry, I thought you said VNC
[01:13] <ricanelite> where can I install Urban Terror?
[01:13] <desertc> XiXaQ: I know nothing about VLC
[01:13] <XiXaQ> desertc, I did. Typo :)
[01:13] <adelie> ilovefedora: I have always wanted to just change the repositories and just apt-get upgrade
[01:14] <YannTech> VLC use normaly ALSA
[01:14] <YannTech> do you have sound with mplayer ?
[01:14] <adelie> ilovefedora: then just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:14] <ouellettesr> YannTech: Isnt Cups installed by default?
[01:14] <YannTech> normaly cups is installed
[01:14] <p_quarles> adelie: that won't work on fedora
[01:14] <ilovefedora> didnt think it would

[01:15] <ilovefedora> i have a server with fasthosts
[01:15] <Ttech> :)
[01:15] <p_quarles> ilovefedora: there's no way other than to just reinstall -- the two use different package managers
[01:15] <XiXaQ> YannTech, I have sound. I just don't have sound on the right audio interface. I have two. Everything works perfectly in all other applications. I have to use vlc though, because the movie I'm watching has subtitles that totem doesn't recognize.
[01:15] <adelie> p_quarles: why, just curious?
[01:15] <Herbo> hello folks

[01:16] <adelie> p_quarles: aptitude is in the defora yum repository
[01:16] <adelie> p_quarles: fedora*
[01:16] <p_quarles> adelie: ok -- didn
[01:16] <YannTech> XiXaQ, mplayer works with subtitles (but i know this is a workaround)
[01:16] <p_quarles> didn't realize that :)
[01:16] <SniperFromHell> Hi. my problem is i dont know how to access my campus's printer over a wireless network, although i do know how to access its wireless network.
[01:16] <XiXaQ> YannTech, perhaps I can try.
[01:16] <sleepcat> how can i stop ubuntu from overwriting grub?
[01:17] <Herbo> I can't hear any voice and even if its maxed I hear a low voice
[01:17] <SniperFromHell> the network manager said to search using Windows SMB/Samba
[01:17] <YannTech> in VLC in settings, enable the advance option
[01:17] <SniperFromHell> but that didnt return any results
[01:17] <ouellettesr> YannTech: i have the cups
[01:17] <YannTech> in audio tabs you can choose many options
[01:17] <heatmzzr> totem and vlm, neither play my dvds
[01:17] <adelie> p_quarles: I havn't had any problems using yum and aptitude... but honestly I am suprized... and havn't really tried to break it
[01:17] <simone1> ciao a tutti
[01:17] <spreadsheet> heatmzzr, download restricted formats
[01:17] <YannTech> ouellettesr, ok if cups seems to be installed and the GUI can't work, I don't know more :(
[01:17] <Herbo> can anybody help me regarding this issue ?
[01:17] <adelie> sleepcat: it doesn't unless you tell it to
[01:17] <ouellettesr> ok
[01:17] <p_quarles> adelie: yeah, it doesn't sound like something to do with a production server, but I guess it could work
[01:17] <Herbo> Here's my sound card
[01:18] <kelsin> SniperFromHell: should be able to goto admin -> printers, it might find it with new printer, or you can select windows SMB printer then browse
[01:18] <ouellettesr> can anyone help me get my laptop to connect to my network printer?
[01:18] <YannTech> you can try to configure your printer in firefox
[01:18] <adelie> herbo: don't ask to ask
[01:18] <SniperFromHell> yes, KELSIN, i tried that (sorry for saying ur name in caps, i want you to notice the message)
[01:18] <adelie> !ask
[01:18] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:18] <SniperFromHell> i still got no results
[01:18] <Herbo> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[01:18] <heatmzzr> spreadsheet, you mean the movies, or add something to totem
[01:18] <YannTech> cups listen on port : 631 ( http://localhost:631 )
[01:19] <sleepcat> Ubuntu does overwrite GRUB whenever I install something!!!!  I know this because after I install something in ubuntu and then reboot to go into solaris, it doesn't boot.
[01:19] <YannTech> you can try on this way ouellettesr
[01:19] <SonicChao> SniperFromHell, just saying someone's name will usually ping their client, elerting them of the message.
[01:19] <spreadsheet> heat, yes
[01:19] <Herbo> adelie, I've typed my problem
[01:19] <kelsin> SniperFromHell: I have a good irc client that hilights the msg if my name is caps or not, and you couldn't find the printer by browsing? You should ask the network manager where to find it, and maybe just type the path in
[01:19] <XiXaQ> YannTech, unfortunately, that also uses the wrong interface.
[01:19] <sleepcat> i have to reinstall the Solaris version of GRUB which understands UFS (the filesystem that solaris uses)
[01:19] <heatmzzr> spreadsheet, which one? haha
[01:19] <ouellettesr> YannTech:  i can connect there but i need to get ubuntu on my laptop to see it as the defaut printer
[01:19] <adelie> sleepcat: sorry. I know it can be skipped... doesn't it ask you where to install grub? and can't you just close it at that point?
[01:19] <larrywells> still there savetheWorld?
[01:20]  * SonicChao recognizes BB88
[01:20] <adelie> Herbo: sorry, must have missed it then.
[01:20] <YannTech> XiXaQ, expand the audio menu
[01:20] <BB88> Hello SonicChao ?
[01:20] <SniperFromHell> kelsin: testing the highlight thing. and yea it didnt work. ill ask next week. thanks.
[01:20] <YannTech> in output module > ALSA you can choose the device
[01:20] <Herbo> I've such a problem in sound card
[01:20] <XiXaQ> YannTech, I installed gmplayer..?
[01:20] <Herbo> I can't hear any voice and even if its maxed I hear a low voice
[01:20] <sleepcat> adelie: this is _after_ the install.  Lets say I want to download codecs.  I do this and then I try to boot into solaris, it doesn't work!
[01:20] <SniperFromHell> SonicChao: can you see this? i just want to make sure im doing it right
[01:21] <SniperFromHell> also, is it case sensitive?
[01:21] <YannTech> (sorry I have a french version I don't have the good name of menu)
[01:21] <UserUbuntu> anyone, may help to install azureus in ubuntu.  Cause i never installed a program with .jar
[01:21] <SniperFromHell> or the name can be any casing?
[01:21] <kelsin> SniperFromHell: well if it's a window's shared printer that's how to add it :-( unless you ahve an error not much else we can do from here :-(
[01:21] <SonicChao> SniperFromHell, yes. I turned red on my screen and it beeped [xChat]
[01:21] <ni1> anyone know of any real time memory editors? like OllyDbg, BlackIce, or Cheat Engine for linux?
[01:21] <SonicChao> It*
[01:21] <passbe> if i have an unsupported tv tuner card (usb), am i able to emulate windows on my ubuntu box and get the usb device working throught hat ?
[01:21] <passbe> that*
[01:21] <Herbo> adelie,  I can't hear any voice and even if its maxed I hear a low voice
[01:21] <adelie> sleepcat: I must be missing something. Sorry, havn't used solaris very much, and even then only as a VM
[01:21] <YannTech> passbe, maybe no but you can try
[01:21] <XiXaQ> YannTech, I can't find any audio menu.
[01:22] <passbe> YannTech:  hmm ok thx
[01:22] <adelie> Herbo: volume is super low, but definately there?
[01:22] <Herbo> adelie, even if you max you volume control
[01:22] <YannTech> in VLC settings ?
[01:22] <Herbo> adelie, yup
[01:22] <XiXaQ> YannTech, you told me to try mplayer?
[01:22] <Herbo> adelie, volume is there but with low sound
[01:22] <adelie> Herbo: Have had the same problem. do you possibly have a volume control on your keyboard? (how it has happened to me)
[01:22] <XiXaQ> YannTech, there is no setting to choose sound card in vlc, as far as I can tell.
[01:22] <simone1> qualcuno mi aiuta
[01:22] <sleepcat> adelie: if you triple boot, with windows, linux and solaris, only the solaris GRUB version understands all 3 operating systems.  The one in Ubuntu doesn't understand Solaris' UFS filesystem
[01:23] <YannTech> yeah, mplayer is a workaround but I remember vlc have many, many, many options
[01:23] <Herbo> adelie, no it ain't work
[01:23] <Law506> can you have the desktop cube and emerald at the same time???
[01:23] <YannTech> XiXaQ, VLC permit to select wich sound card you want
[01:23] <Herbo> adelie, What does it supposed to be ?
[01:23] <XiXaQ> how?
[01:23] <adelie> Herbo: most applications, particularly media players, can set their own volume, than I am sure there is your speaker volume. There is also a sound driver volume, AND a system master volume
[01:23] <kelsin> Law506: the desktop cube is drawn by the windows manager (compiz or beryl if you're using an old system), emerald is the part that draws windows borders, so yes
[01:23] <XiXaQ> YannTech, I've searched for it for months.
[01:23] <Law506> hmm
[01:24] <Herbo> adelie, would like to see any info because I can't figure it out
[01:24] <sleepcat> hence, it seems like ubuntu does a check everytime there is a install or upgrade using apt-get which installs the ubuntu GRUB version thus hosing the solaris one.  Then the person needs to go with a solaris boot disk to reinstall the one they want.  I'd like to be able to prevent ubuntu from touching the grub that i have
[01:24] <SonicChao> !compiz
[01:24] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[01:24] <Herbo> adelie, would you * ?
[01:24] <adelie> Harbo: So, is the sound on the gnome-panel turned all the way up?
[01:24] <Law506> kelsin: for some reason once I enabled emerald it wont let me select the cube option in the compiz manager
[01:24] <YannTech> i don't know if dcc works (ipv6 connection)
[01:24] <Herbo> adelie, yeah
[01:25] <kelsin> Law506: by compiz manager do you mean the ccsm?
[01:25] <adelie> Harbo: speakers are powered, and on, and turned up?
[01:25] <Herbo> adelie, Volume Control: Realtek ALC861 (OSS Mixer) is maxed
[01:25] <simone1>  find matrimonio alle bahamas
[01:26] <XiXaQ> YannTech, if you know how, please tell me.
[01:26] <Herbo> adelie, everything is ok physically
[01:26] <SniperFromHell> If I should encounter any network errors after installing these updates, what do I do? Although I shouldn't, since I configured network settings after installing updates for the network manager, then i installed the rest of the updates after that.
[01:26] <adelie> Herbo: is there a volume knob physically on your speakers?
[01:26] <YannTech> XiXaQ, http://hades.yanntech.net/vlc-settings.png
[01:26] <jimmygoon> kde4?
[01:26] <YannTech> sorry for the french menu :s
[01:26] <Herbo> adelie, Its a software bug or so
[01:26] <jimmygoon> !kde4
[01:26] <ubotu> KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php
[01:26] <Herbo> adelie, or I've to restart with a diff modules " lsof :
[01:26] <Law506> kelsin: if that is what is under System-Preferences-Advanced Desktop Settings
[01:26] <Law506> then yes
[01:26] <XiXaQ> YannTech, there is no choice of sound cards there?
[01:26] <Herbo> adelie, nah
[01:27] <YannTech> if you refresh the list
[01:27] <YannTech> you can choose after
[01:27] <Herbo> adelie, I hear a very low sound while its working in my windows
[01:27] <XiXaQ> ah!
[01:27] <XiXaQ> YannTech, you're my hero! Thanks :)
[01:27] <adelie> herbo: are you sure the speakers are plugged into the microphone out and not the line out? line out required powered speakers (amplifier)
[01:27] <Herbo> adelie, then its not a hardware issue
[01:27] <kelsin> Law506: so it's not giving you any messages when you click the checkbox next to the cube, just doesn't select it?
[01:27] <YannTech> no problem XiXaQ ;)
[01:27] <Herbo> adelie, its a system issue i persume
[01:28] <adelie> Harbo: same problem between windows and ubuntu?
[01:28] <Law506> kelsin: correct
[01:28] <kelsin> Law506: can you trying runnig it from the terminal with "ccsm" and see if you get any errors when trying to select desktop cube?
[01:28] <adelie> Harbo: the speakers can be in the wrong port and you will still get sound, specifically line out
[01:28] <Herbo> adelie, what I've mentioned Its working normally in windows and hear no sound in Ubuntu " to be honest hear a very low sound "
[01:28] <Law506> kelsin: k, hang on
[01:29] <jimmygoon> So are there kde4 packages in gutsy-backports, a page on the site says there is supposed to be, but I don't think its accurate? I just want to test out KDE4 on my pc
[01:29] <nickrud> jimmygoon, I downloaded them a while ago from backports, didn't work (didn't try hard either)
[01:30] <YannTech> it's the time to sleep ( 02:30 AM )
[01:30] <Herbo> adelie, lets fix the issue likewise I've no sound recognized at all
[01:30] <YannTech> bye bye
[01:30] <adelie> Harbo: ok, caught up. try the sound test in system -> preferences -> sound? there you can try different drivers / setups and try to play test sounds
[01:30] <alex_> I have a problem with my xserver. I got it running but it's in 1024x768 and I don't want to ruin it again by trying to up it to 1280x1024. Thanks a lot.
[01:30] <Herbo> adelie, could you consider that instead ?
[01:30] <jimmygoon> nickrud, hum, maybe I'll see if someone else has a more "reliable" repo up
[01:31] <Law506> kelsin: nevermind, i had deselected Automatic Plugins and it took awway the cube, I got it now, thanks for the assist though
[01:31] <nickrud> jimmygoon, could be better now, there were conflicts with multiple packages having the same file in them
[01:31] <Mo9a7i> Hi every one ,, i got a problem with installing xine-lib saying missing cdrom ioctl ,, is there a way to avoid that ?
[01:31] <Alphamonkey> take your computer
[01:31] <Alphamonkey> and bash it against your head
[01:31] <nickrud> Alphamonkey, you must have a mac
[01:31] <Alphamonkey> that usually fixes most problems
[01:32] <Mo9a7i> does it ?
[01:32] <Alphamonkey> yup
[01:32] <Alphamonkey> works everytime
[01:32] <adelie> Harbo: ?? Sorry I didn't get what you probably explained before I got here just a bit ago, but from what you have said now, if it works in windows, and not in ubuntu, you should be able to resolve the issue through the config test in the sound preferences panel
[01:32] <Mo9a7i> you do it ?
[01:32] <Law506> I find taking the office space approach to electronics works... sometimes
[01:32] <Alphamonkey> yeasssssssssssssss
[01:32] <ricanelite> anyone could help me install urban terror?
[01:32] <kelsin> Law506: np glad you got it
[01:32] <Mo9a7i> good for you ,,
[01:32] <Alphamonkey> but unforunatly it has some SIDDEEE AFFE#EECTSS
[01:32] <n00bie> i need some guidance on how to set up wlan in ubuntu... my wlan card is a Intel proset 2200bg... i have dedicated button for enabling/disabling the card, but this doesn't work
[01:32] <nickrud> !wireless | n00bie
[01:32] <ubotu> n00bie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:33] <n00bie> i need some guidance on how to set up wlan in ubuntu... my wlan card is a Intel proset 2200bg... i a have dedicated button for enabling/disabling the card, but this doesn't work
[01:33] <p_quarles> ricanelite: do you have the download? it comes with an installation script
[01:33] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie which ubuntu are u using?
[01:33] <bjbum> does anyone know if the Restricted Drivers Manager installs the very latest stable proprietary drivers like Envy does? or if they're slightly dated?
[01:33] <Mo9a7i> cdrom ioctls ,, anyone ?
[01:33] <Herbo> adelie, It can't be fixed from the config test because Its working but like you've reduce your sound volume but its not anymore
[01:33] <nickrud> bjbum, for gutsy, it 8.37 something
[01:33] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbons)
[01:33] <BB88> Does anybody know how I can change how Firefox in Ubuntu 7.10 handles IRC Server open requests?
[01:33] <ricanelite> yeah i have the install script on my desktop just can't get it running
[01:34] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie gutsy should recognice ipw2200
[01:34] <dasickis> i'm running ubuntu gutsy gibbon with all the updates but my cpu runs extremely hot
[01:34] <bjbum> nickrud, ahh. So if I used Envy it should give me newer drivers?
[01:34] <dasickis> 77C
[01:34] <dasickis> i have hp dv5000 and i'm googled everything i could and haven't found anything that works
[01:34] <p_quarles> ricanelite: you'll need to run it in the shell. go to the directory, and type ./name_of_script
[01:34] <jals> what flag do i need to add to rsync to make it delete stuff on the destination directory that's not on the original?
[01:34] <ricanelite> well it is sitting on my desktop
[01:35] <ricanelite> i have terminal open
[01:35] <adelie> Harbo: well, other option, if you left click on the sound applet, there is a "open volume control". certain setups have very low volume by default. I get that with my optical sound
[01:35] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: how can i verify this?  (bare with me, i'm new to this :)
[01:35] <p_quarles> jals: the flag for that is --delete
[01:35] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie try iwconfig in the command line
[01:35] <p_quarles> ricanelite: so, move it the script to your home directory
[01:36] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: http://pastebin.com/d5f92d1fa
[01:36] <ricanelite> okay
[01:36] <ricanelite> what else?
[01:36] <Herbo> adelie, everything is maxed in playback
[01:36] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie you using network-manager right?
[01:36] <nickrud> bjbum yes, but don't expect much support here for envy
[01:36] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: hmm, no
[01:36] <p_quarles> ricanelite: run the script -- type ./name-of-script
[01:37] <maek> can anyone tell me why I cant save a profile in network manager?
[01:37] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: on the right top corner is there anything to manage networks?
[01:37] <Herbo> adelie, can we try to reload the snd modules
[01:37] <jals> thanks p_quarles
[01:37] <adelie> Herbo: there is nothing else to turn up?
[01:37] <ricanelite> right now im in ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$
[01:37] <YannTech> byebye everyone
[01:37] <ricanelite> do i need to move to my home? and if so how?
[01:37] <YannTech> ipv6 power ;-)
[01:37] <alphaiceman> hi everyone
[01:37] <Herbo> adelie, perhaps there's something wrong with the modules or sound driver configuration
[01:37] <p_quarles> that is your home directory
[01:38] <Herbo> adelie, or there's nothing to do with it at all
[01:38] <adelie> Herbo: dpkg --reconfigure alsa will let you manually configure it, if you really want to try that.
[01:38] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: well, there's an icon where i enable/disenable both 'Networking' and 'Wireless'
[01:38] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: both are checked
[01:38] <ricanelite> ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$  ./urt40-linux-installer.sh
[01:38] <ricanelite> bash: ./urt40-linux-installer.sh: Permission denied
[01:38] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: +can  somewhere in there
[01:38] <alphaiceman> I'm trying to get compiz working on Dell D610 with intel graphic card, can anyone help please
[01:38] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie ok soy give a left click over that icon and what do you see
[01:39] <t3hwiz0rd> !mp3
[01:39] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:39] <p_quarles> ricanelite: sudo chown ricanelite urt40-linux-installer.sh
[01:39] <ricanelite> ??
[01:39] <ricanelite> im sorry
[01:39] <p_quarles> if you run that command, it will allow you to run the script
[01:40] <adelie> Herbo: but it is really hard to say what it could be without actually witnessing the symptoms. I have about covered every problem I have seen and its fix. the `dpkg --reconfigure alsa' I have never had to do to get sound to work, but... as long a it already doesn't work, why not.
[01:40] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx:  'connect to other wireless network', 'create new wireless network' and 'manual configuration'
[01:40] <ricanelite> it went right back ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$
[01:40] <Herbo> adelie, --reconfigure is not the correct option
[01:40] <adelie> Herbo: oh, btw, are you using alsa or oss?
[01:41] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie ok, so it seems that you can connect to wireless networks, do you have any specific one that you want to connect?
[01:41] <adelie> herbo: hmm... sec
[01:41] <Herbo> Herbo, don't know , how do I know ?
[01:41] <p_quarles> ricanelite: it will allow you to run the script -- you still have to run the script manually
[01:41] <ricanelite> okay
[01:41] <ricanelite> how?
[01:41] <p_quarles> with the command I gave you earlier
[01:42] <onats> how do i run commands and put them in background mode?
[01:42] <p_quarles> onats: use nohup
[01:42] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: yes, my own access point, though it isn't set up yet
[01:42] <adelie> Herbo: sorry, `debconf --reconfigure alsa-base'
[01:43] <onats> p_quarles, it still doesn't run in the background
[01:43] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: ok so click on 'connect to other wireless network' and enter the information of your wireless network/AP
[01:43] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: in windows i know i had to push the dedicated wireless button to enable wlan, but that button doesn't work in linux
[01:43] <alphaiceman> doe's anyone know how to get compiz working on a dell D610
[01:43] <p_quarles> onats: what command are we talking about here?
[01:43] <onats> emerald --replace
[01:43] <Herbo> adelie, how do I know about alsa or oss ?
[01:44] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: you have to enable wireless card by pressing that dedicated button and after that you have to setup your wireless network with 'Connect to Other Wireless Networks'
[01:44] <nickrud> p_quarles, nohup gedit & for example, you can even close the terminal you ran it in
[01:44] <Herbo> adelie, btw Unknown option: reconfigure still now work
[01:44] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: you will be asked to enter the information of your network
[01:44] <KinPumpkinKing> my fullscreen application suddenly turns window and locks my system, only ctrl+alt+something works... anyone knows ow to figure that out?
[01:44] <ricanelite>  sudo chown ricanelite urt40-linux-installer.sh
[01:44] <ricanelite> ?
[01:44] <Herbo> adelie, not*
[01:44] <adelie> Herbo: If you had checked out System -> preferences -> Sound, it will tell you what sound driver is being used for each sound device, and lets you change it.
[01:45] <nickrud> erm, onats nohup gedit & for example, you can even close the terminal you ran it in
[01:45] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: well, i don't really have a name for it yet... i tried <IP_ADDRESS>, but that didn't work
[01:45] <Ose> I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin and it's freezing at "Detecting Hard Disks and Other Hardware".. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine.
[01:45] <p_quarles> onats: so, you want to run that command repeatedly? rather than just at startup?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> wait, why are we using "nohup" for?
[01:45] <Xsss4hell> I have Ubuntu Gutsy an I have a 16Mbit connection, but why is my maximum download speed 500kb/s? On Windows I have 1.9MB/s - >2MB/s
[01:45] <qwaz> I have a window that I would like to open down in the lower left hand corner of my desktop. I have set the window to open with a title and created a rule to match on that tile. However, when I launch the application it places the window about 200 pixels higher than where I have instructed it to be placed.
[01:45] <Herbo> adelie, everything is autodected
[01:45] <nickrud> jimmygoon, for the ability to disown the app from the terminal
[01:45] <Herbo> adelie, except sound capture
[01:46] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie you have to setup your AP to have an SSID, then you will have to setup the network configuration, it will ask you to enter the SSID and if it has an authentication method and so on
[01:46] <MenZa> Xsss4hell, depends on mirrors you download from.
[01:46] <alphaiceman> please can anyone help me with compiz on Dell D610
[01:46] <qwaz> All my other placement rules are working except in this area of the desktop
[01:46] <jimmygoon> nickrud, is that really required? why not just do "gedit &" (I really don't know any different)
[01:46] <Herbo> adelie, debconf --reconfigure alsa-base .. --reconfigure still unknown option

[01:46] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: yes, but the dedicated button i keep talking about wont work
[01:46] <motherlode> hello
[01:46] <nickrud> jimmygoon, try that, then exit the terminal. You could also do disown <tab> after running that, though

[01:47] <alphaiceman> ok, I have a dell latitude D610 with intel graphic card and I'm trying to get the compiz 3d desktop effect working
[01:47] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: that button only enables the wireless card, using that button will turn on/off the wireless card and that doesnt mean that it will connect to a network
[01:47] <jimmygoon> hm, interesting, is it that way on alll gui apps? and if so what is the function of "&" then? or is it just that the terminal issues a "hangup" call and gedit close obediently?
[01:47] <alphaiceman> I have already install compiz manager
[01:47] <onats> p_quarles, i just run it once so the titlebards of my windows are replaced. right now i dont have titlebars!
[01:47] <bu> thanks
[01:48] <nickrud> & is run in the background, jimmygoon .
[01:48] <Ose> Install freezes at "Detecting Hard disks and other Hardware" - I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine.

[01:48] <onats> nickrud, is there any other command?
[01:48] <Slynderdale> I'm currently dual booting Windows and Linux. The problem is, I don't have a working CD drive with boot support. I want to reformat my current linux install and install Ubuntu/Gutsy Gibbon instead. How can I do this without a boot/live CD?
[01:48] <Herbo> adelie, same voice in test
[01:48] <jimmygoon> nickrud, hm, I see. thanks for the infos, I will get out of the way now :O
[01:48] <qwaz> I have a window that I would like to open down in the lower left hand corner of my desktop. I have set the window to open with a title and created a rule to match on that tile. However, when I launch the application it places the window about 200 pixels higher than where I have instructed it to be placed.
[01:48] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: i know, but when pushing that button a led on my laptop should lighten, but it doesn't... i should probably install some kind of driver for it...
[01:48] <Herbo> adelie, can you give the correct command to reconfigure alsa
[01:48] <IMYojimbo> anyone know Quicksilver (for Mac)?
[01:48] <p_quarles> onats: can you just run it in the session startup sequence?
[01:48] <IMYojimbo> http://groups.google.com/group/JQuickSilver/web/jquicksilver---new-features-29-11-07
[01:48] <alphaiceman> did you get that ubotu
[01:48] <Xsss4hell> howto CUT the speed limit?

[01:48] <adelie> Herbo: Thanks about the last I know of. I evidently forget how to use debconf. I only use it to fix video problems. try googling debconf for howto's
[01:49] <adelie> herbo: gotta go unfortunately. best luck
[01:49] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie so that means that the functionallity of thaat button is not working but it doesnt mean that your wireless card is not working
[01:49] <nickrud> onats, often I run gedit & (or some other app) in a terminal, then want to close the terminal and keep gedit. I would then type disown <tab><tab> , then I can exit the terminal and keep the app
[01:49] <alphaiceman> I have Gutsy
[01:49] <jimmygoon> Slynderdale, it is possible to do a network install with ubuntu, though I've never done so
[01:49] <IMYojimbo> Quicksilver for linux (soon) : http://groups.google.com/group/JQuickSilver/web/jquicksilver---new-features-29-11-07
[01:49] <nickrud> onats, not sure if that's what you're after, what is your use case?
[01:50] <onats> nickrud, where do you type the disown? in the same terminal?
[01:50] <jimmygoon> alphaiceman, so you know ubotu is a bot
[01:50] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: well, maybe not...
[01:50] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie just try to connect to the wireless network dont pay attention to that button
[01:50] <Slynderdale> jimmygoon: Do you know where I can information on it?
[01:50] <jimmygoon> Slynderdale, google? ubuntu wiki? lemme see what I can dig up for you
[01:51] <nickrud> onats, yes. it's part of terminal job control; you can play around with <app> & ; <app> ; ctl-z , fg , bg, disown
[01:51] <Slynderdale> jimmygoon: Thank you for your help
[01:51] <Ose> Slynderdale: Unetbootin is what you're looking for.
[01:51] <onats> nickrud, ok.. here's the scenario. right now, i don't have titlebars in my windows (bug, can be fixed by restart, but don't want that option). Accdg to flare183, i can just type emerald --replace to replace my titlebars. but when i run it, i can't close the term..
[01:51] <KinPumpkinKing> if I get a new video card, what brand should I get? I mean, what are the ones that DO conflict with ubuntu 7.10?
[01:51] <onats> weird
[01:51] <alphaiceman> need help with getting compiz working on Dell D610 with Ubunto Gutsby
[01:51] <nickrud> onats, simplest way around that is alt-f2  emerald --replace
[01:51] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing:  generally people have less trouble with an nvidia card than ati
[01:52] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin,  but I'm having trouble with an nvdia card
[01:52] <jimmygoon> Slynderdale, soemthing like this : http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[01:52] <nickrud> onats, but that would be a good app to learn how job control works
[01:52] <nickrud> lots of immediate visual feedback :)
[01:52] <alphaiceman> when I turn on the desktop effect, the system tells me that it doens't support it
[01:52] <onats> nickrud, pressing ctrl+z worked...
[01:52] <onats> nickrud, the titlebars remain...
[01:52] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: then I'm confused by the question :) ATI/Nvidia are the only two I know of if you actually card about fast 3d graphics
[01:52] <Ose> Slynderdale: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html Gives a tutorial. Once you boot into it it'll download the necessary files and install.
[01:52] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: shouldn't the browser load a configuration page for the router when entering <IP_ADDRESS>  if the wlan card is active?
[01:52] <onats> nickrud, what is ctrl+z?
[01:52] <nickrud> onats, that suspends the app. now, type bg <tab>
[01:53] <alphaiceman> is the a driver etc. that I would need to get compiz to work on Dell D610
[01:53] <onats> nickrud, it shows bg %emerald
[01:53] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, but I heard both nvidia and ati have trouble with Ubuntu, so I'm looking for a different brand...
[01:53] <Xsss4hell> Can somebody tell me why Ubuntu makes my internet download experience bad? It gives me only 4Mbit instead of possible 16Mbit, NO WINDOWS gives me the full speed. I'm surfing through eth0 so, it's not due to wlan distortions. Can somebody tell me howto make Ubuntu optimize for DSL?
[01:53] <ari_stress> hi all, where is the best way to download ebook?
[01:53] <nickrud> onats, yes, that's the only job you have running in that terminal
[01:53] <onats> no manual entry for bg
[01:53] <qwaz> I have a window that I would like to open down in the lower left hand corner of my desktop. I have set the window to open with a title and created a rule to match on that tile. However, when I launch the application it places the window about 200 pixels higher than where I have instructed it to be placed.
[01:53] <jimmygoon> Slynderdale, look at the section titled "Server and Network installations" : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation?highlight=%28install%29
[01:53] <onats> nickrud, so i take it if i close this term, it will also terminate that job?
[01:53] <jimmygoon> Slynderdale, that should be tons of stuff!
[01:53] <onats> nickrud, yup it did.
[01:53] <Ose> Install freezes at "Detecting Hard disks and other Hardware" - I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine.
[01:54] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: those are the main two, you can buy something less (some random brand) but you're definitely not going to get good desktop effects with it (intel is ok but I don't know if they make standalone cards)
[01:54] <nickrud> onats, yes. But: you can also say   disown <tab><tab> (iirc it takes two) , and then close the terminal without losing emerald
[01:54] <mohkohn> I am having trouble sorting out permissions for Virtualbox-OSE from CVS. I am already in vboxusers
[01:54] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, so, if I have an okay nvidia card that is giving me trouble, I should stick with it? :/
[01:54] <mohkohn> http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=3371
[01:54] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie: if you are connected to the network hyes
[01:54] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: also i tried connecting like you said (typing a random network name)
[01:54] <n00bie> RoAkSoAx: because there isn't set a network name yet
[01:54] <n00bie> ... but that doesn't seem to be wokring
[01:54] <n00bie> *working
[01:55] <onats> nickrud, let me try that.. it doesnt seem to do anything when i press <tab><tab>
[01:55] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: I would suggest that yes, what card and what's your issue?
[01:55] <nickrud> onats, http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_77.html should give you a grip on job control
[01:55] <RoAkSoAx> n00bie you will have to set a network and then do that
[01:55] <onats> nickrud, thanks for the link. will read up
[01:55] <mohkohn> I had to build from CVS because I need the 2.6.24 kernel for my laptop to boot and for wireless to work.
[01:55] <nickrud> onats, disown <tab>
[01:55] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, it's a GeForce4, 64mb... my fullscreen grames are all normal, but after a while they pop in windows mode for no reason
[01:56] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, and Ubuntu stops receiving my commands
[01:56] <alphaiceman> Kelsin do you know how to get compiz working on intell graphic card mobile intel 915GM
[01:56] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, excelt for ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+backspace

[01:56] <kelsin> alphaiceman: not to well, it just works on my asus laptop without me doing anything
[01:56] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: what full screen games are we talking about?
[01:56] <alphaiceman> oh , ok,
[01:57] <osmosis> how can I get more info on this?
[01:57] <osmosis> # dpkg-reconfigure munin-node
[01:57] <osmosis> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: munin-node is broken or not fully installed
[01:57] <mohkohn> How do I set up permissions so that I can use virtual box as a regular user?
[01:57] <LjL> mohkohn: add yourself to the 'vboxusers' group
[01:57] <kelsin> alphaiceman: what happens when you try to enable desktop effects? Does it just say it can't?
[01:57] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, well, flobo puyo turns into window mode but it doesn't lock up my system, but tremulous does once it goes into window mode on it's own
[01:57] <ari_stress> mohkohn: put your user as vbox group
[01:58] <alphaiceman> yes it says it can't
[01:58] <alphaiceman> so it goes back to the default
[01:58] <alphaiceman> I have compiz manager
[01:58] <mohkohn> ari_stress, is that in addition to vboxusers? I am already a member of vboxusers.
[01:58] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: to me that doesn't sound like a graphics card issue (honeslty I have no idea though), have you tried running them in a differen Xserver? It's kindof complicate but can lead to less problems
[01:58] <LjL> mohkohn: no, vboxusers is enough. have you rebooted after installing virtualbox?
[01:58] <kelsin> alphaiceman: does "xdpyinfo | grep -i composite" return something in a terminal?
[01:59] <qwaz> I have a window that I would like to open down in the lower left hand corner of my desktop. I have set the window to open with a title and created a rule to match on that tile. However, when I launch the application it places the window about 200 pixels higher than where I have instructed it to be placed.
[01:59] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, I wouldn't know how to do that
[01:59] <mohkohn> yes LjL
[01:59] <alphaiceman> let me try Kelsin
[01:59] <ari_stress> mohkohn: i believe that's all needed
[01:59] <LjL> mohkohn: what's the output of « ls -l /dev/vboxdrv »?
[01:59] <mohkohn> http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=3371
[02:00] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, different X server = different distro?
[02:00] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: I would assume that the problem is something else happening, grabbing the screen from the game, and then bam... can lock up everything... honestly I don't know about how to solve it. I would obviously try to limit what else is running while playing a game
[02:00] <brennanos> I cant seem to convince Ubuntu to keep my display resolution settings intact between logins... it always reverts back to 1024x768
[02:00] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: no no no, you can run a second X windows server with only the game running. People did it a lot with quake III and unreal etc
[02:00] <LjL> mohkohn: uh... i'm missing a lot of things. 1) what are those question marks?  2) why do you have a "vbox" directory in your home, and what is it?  3) well, not a question, but use "sudo -i" rather than "sudo su"
[02:01] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: so like you can hit ctrl-alt-F1-6 to get to the consoles and 7 to get the the gui, you can then do F8 to get to the game
[02:01] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, hmm, but I did run with nothing else open but it still did the same thing
[02:01] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: but it's not the easiest thing to do, just would make it so something else can't "grab" the screen away from the game
[02:01] <worknsole> anyone here know how to change a user SID in samba besides with pdbedit -U (isn't working)
[02:01] <maybeway36> KinPumpkinKing: if F8 doesnt work, try F9
[02:02] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, I see... I'll try that now, thanks
[02:02] <theunixgeek> How do I access my Linux partition on a Mac?
[02:02] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: I would google a bit to find out if others are having that issue, but it def doesn't sound like a graphics card thing
[02:02] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, oooh, except I need to run XQF to play the game...
[02:02] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: I would also run the games from the terminal redirecting output to log files
[02:02] <mohkohn> LjL, It is built from CVS. The question marks come when I ls -la as a user. as root it ls -la is normal.
[02:02] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, yeah, I'll try with the terminal now...
[02:02] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: "game-commands 1> stdout.log 2> stderr.log" to see if any errors happen
[02:03] <kelsin> KinPumpkinKing: so even if it crashes you mgiht be able to see an erro in those two files after reboot
[02:03] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, actually I found a way of not having to reboot, I just hit ctrl+alt+backspace, that still works...
[02:03] <alphaiceman> no Kelsin it doesn't return anything
[02:04] <Ose> Install freezes at "Detecting Hard disks and other Hardware" - I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine.

[02:04] <maybeway36> Ose: can you do Unetbootin from another OS, or use a CD?
[02:04] <kelsin> alphaiceman: you don't have the composite extension enabled, make sure you have the composite section in xorg.conf, one sec, finding it
[02:04] <Ose> My CD drive is borked and all I have installed is Fedora.
[02:04] <KinPumpkinKing> kelsin, I'll google a little... thanks for all your help

[02:07] <brennanos> Ose: yes
[02:07] <swisgard> anybody know why tools such as nmap, scanrand, paratrace, etc always fail or just don't do anything? i have used them before on a default ubuntu installation, and they worked without me having to tweak anything

[02:08] <brennanos> then you pick a line and hit 'e' again, then stick that string I gave you at the end
[02:08] <kelsin> paynegod: shoudl be able to just install the linux-headers package
[02:08] <paynegod> just the headers?
[02:08] <kelsin> paynegod: and the nvidia driver, any reason you want to use the nvidia one instaed of the nvidia-glx-new package?
[02:08] <kelsin> paynegod: most packages just need the headers, but it does depend on what you're installing (nvidia just needs headers, don't know about kppp)

[02:10] <kelsin> paynegod: did you install the nvidia-glx-new package and did you check that direct rendering was on?
[02:10] <bingung1> #jakarta
[02:10] <LjL> mohkohn, uhm, i use the official Ubuntu package... wouldn't that be a better idea? :| anyway, the vbox directory seems to not be executable (directories should be), so try sudo chmod u+x ~/vbox
[02:10] <paynegod> kelsin: direct rendering?
[02:10] <kelsin> paynegod: you can run "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal
[02:11] <mohkohn> LjL the official package works for the official kernel. My laptop doesn't boot with the official kernel. I will try your suggestion. thanks.
[02:11] <kelsin> n00bie: the button probably won't do anything in ubuntu without other work (most likely, it depends) but the 2200 should be enabled and working by default, do you not see a list of wireless networks when you left click on the network manager applet int he top bar?
[02:11] <brennanos> hey, sweet, the adobe flash plugin actually works
[02:11] <paynegod> kelsin: ok il lgive that a try
[02:12] <paynegod> kelsin: would it give me the option to turn it on if its not?
[02:12] <kelsin> no it will just tell you if youre 3d acceleration is on or not
[02:12] <shamas> can somebody help me to install packages to play DVD movies and divX and Xvid
[02:12] <paynegod> ah ok.
[02:12] <kelsin> paynegod: either way I would still recommend using the ubuntu package for the nvidia drivers rather then installing the nvidia one

[02:13] <paynegod> kelsin: i assumed the drivers packed with the cd were faulty when i checked the restricted drivers manager it said it wasnt on

[02:14] <paynegod> kelsin: yea but it didnt do anything it stayed off
[02:14] <kelsin> paynegod: with no messages or problems at all?
[02:14] <kelsin> paynegod: I would try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" to see if it can actually install
[02:15] <paynegod> kelsin: no  the window flickered and showed me it was still off
[02:15] <n00bie> kelsin:  http://pastebin.com/d5f92d1fa
[02:15] <paynegod> kelsin: i tried it a few times in a row with same results
[02:15] <shamas> where can I find commands to install packages
[02:15] <kelsin> n00bie: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces
[02:15] <Joshooa> Can I get some help installing flash for firefox? I do the install, and it asked for my mozilla path, and I tell it /usr/bin/firefox and it tells me it is not a directory, but which firefox tells me to use that
[02:15] <shamas> and where do I get these "packages" such as libdvdnav4, lidvdplay0, and libdvdread3 from?
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> shamas: man apt  for apt-get
[02:15] <kelsin> !dvd
[02:15] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:15] <p_quarles> shamas: for DVDs, follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[02:16] <kelsin> Joshooa: does running "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" not work for you?
[02:16] <Joshooa> kelsin: No, it downloads it but says it's not installed
[02:16] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d5c86c7d3
[02:16] <Joshooa> kelsin: I tried that first
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> kelsin: the installer for flash has been broken since the last upgrade.
[02:16] <brennanos> Joshooa: I just installed that plugin
[02:17] <brennanos> Joshooa: like 4 minutes ago
[02:17] <kelsin> Jack_Sparrow: I thought it was fixed recently
[02:17] <brennanos> Joshooa: it installed in ~/.mozilla
[02:17] <Ose> Brennanos: No luck.. Stalled again. Any other ideas?
[02:17] <kelsin> n00bie: if you right click on the network manager applet do you have wireless enabled?
[02:17] <shamas> thanks guys I'll check it out :)
[02:17] <ConstyXIV> is there a good linux/windows benchmark program?
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> kelsin: I thought so too, but had problems again today..  the installer has not been updated for the recent flash udate.  You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[02:17] <brennanos> Ose: that sucks
[02:17] <Joshooa> brennanos: Well it says, Download Done. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz  The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[02:17] <n00bie> kelsin: yes, i do
[02:17] <mohkohn> LjL, thanks that sorted the permissions. I will note in my Tomboy notes.
[02:18] <alesan> hi, what should I do to install the java plugin on 64bit??
[02:18] <kelsin> Joshooa: I would listen to Jack and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[02:18] <brennanos> Joshooa: yeah, I got that too, yesterday.  I went directly to Adobe's download site and got it there, then ran the installer
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: you cant compare / benchmark them against each other.  It is like comparing Apples and oranges.
[02:18] <kelsin> n00bie: does "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" give you results?
[02:18] <brennanos> Joshooa: but yeah, it appears that just the .so needs to be in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[02:18] <Ose> Brennanos: Last time I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on Windows and then transfered it to its own partition.. And *then* updated to 7.10. That should be the same, right?
[02:19] <brennanos> Ose: not sure
[02:19] <DarthJesus> hi
[02:19] <n00bie> kelsin: eth1      No scan results
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Ose: wubi is a bad idea
[02:19] <paynegod> kelsin: assuming i cant get 3d acceleration working with the packaged drivers witch header package do i need to get the nvidia package to compile?
[02:19] <Joshooa> I don't have ~/.mozilla/plugins
[02:19] <brennanos> Joshooa: odd
[02:19] <kelsin> paynegod: normall linux-headers will get what you need
[02:20] <Ose> Jack_Sparrow: That's what I figured.. I hadn't discovered UNetbootin at the time. I used UNet for Fedora, but I'd like to switch back to Ubuntu.
[02:20] <paynegod> kelsin: generic?
[02:20] <Joshooa> Whatever i put for Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
[02:20] <Joshooa> or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): wont work
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Joshooa: hold off for a day or so. they will get it straightened out
[02:20] <Ose> Jack_Sparrow: It freezes at detecting hardware, though.
[02:20] <cylence> good evening/day/morning :)
[02:20] <kelsin> paynegod: there should be a packaged called "linux-headers"
[02:20] <brennanos> Joshooa: try downloading the installer from Adobe... it should report your Firefox install directory
[02:20] <kelsin> paynegod: a virtual package pointing to what you need
[02:20] <Joshooa> brennanos: I am currently using the installer from adobe
[02:20] <kelsin> paynegod: so a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers" should suffice
[02:20] <paynegod> theres several types labled generic,rt,virtual,server ect.
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Ose: use the alt cd or F6 at start - install   then boot options.
[02:20] <cylence> can anyone remind me how I can restart my init.ds stuff, as in if I make a change, how can I set it in motion
[02:21] <alphaiceman> Hi Kelsin, when I perform a sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf  I got an empty file? should there be something?
[02:21] <paynegod> kelsin: my linux system isnt internet able right now  im flash driveing everything to transfer over
[02:21] <kelsin> Joshooa: if you're trying to install to /usr/lib are you running as sudo?
[02:21] <p_quarles> cylence: sudo /etc/init.d/program-name restart
[02:21] <brennanos> Joshooa: and where does it tell you your FIrefox install is?
[02:21] <Joshooa> brennanos: It wants my installation path, and I can't find it. I tell it what which firefox says, it says no, I try /home/joshua/.mozilla, it says no, I try /home/joshua/.mozilla/firefox, it says no
[02:21] <Ose> Jack_Sparrow: WIth Unetbootin? My CD drive doesn't work so I'm stuck with this method.
[02:21] <jdw> cylence: sudo /etc/init.d/<whatever> restart
[02:21] <Joshooa> kelsin: I am running it as Sudo now, have tried it non root and as root
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !install | Ose
[02:21] <ubotu> Ose: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[02:21] <Joshooa> which firefox gives me /usr/bin/firefox
[02:22] <brennanos> Joshooa: and you dont have a .mozilla directory in your home folder?
[02:22] <kelsin> alphaiceman: by default nothing is there, it uses defaults, try adding on ly those lines, if that doesn't work obviously remove them to get back to normal
[02:22] <Joshooa> brennanos: No I have .mozilla
[02:22] <cylence> jdw: thank you!!! geesh lol
[02:22] <alphaiceman> ok
[02:22] <brennanos> Joshooa: but no plugins folder?
[02:22] <Joshooa> brennanos: Then firefox in that
[02:22] <Joshooa> brennanos: No, no plugins
[02:22] <alphaiceman> thanks
[02:22] <jdw> cylence: no prob
[02:22] <kelsin> paynegod: most likely you need the generic if you're running the generic kernel which most likely you are
[02:22] <brennanos> make a plugins folder
[02:22] <cylence> jdw: is there a way to restart pretty much everything in that way?
[02:22] <brennanos> then copy that .so file into it
[02:22] <Joshooa> brennanos: In firefox, I have pluginreg.dat, but that's the only reference to plugin I can find
[02:22] <cylence> everything = in the init.d dir
[02:23] <jdw> cylence: Not really. I would think rebooting is the quickest way to restart everything.
[02:23] <Joshooa> brennanos: And I had gnash installed, and about:plugins showed me it was installed, but it wouldn't work, firefox kept telling me to download plugins
[02:23] <alesan> !java
[02:23] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[02:23] <Joshooa> Or just not playing
[02:23] <paynegod> kensin: ok thanks i havent changed anything its a fresh install from cd
[02:23] <cylence> jdw: fair enough, thanks again
[02:23] <jdw> cylence: you could do an init 1 then an init 3 (or is it init 5 in Ubuntu?). That will kind of do wha you want...
[02:24] <muuluu> hi
[02:24] <muuluu> anyone here
[02:24] <muuluu> Q? PLS?
[02:24] <kelsin> !anyone | muuluu
[02:24] <ubotu> muuluu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask | muuluu
[02:24] <ubotu> muuluu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:24] <n00bie> kelsin: what should i do then?  i'm desperate to make wlan work :-)
[02:25] <muuluu> ok
[02:25] <muuluu> thanks
[02:25] <cylence> jdw: not sure about ubuntu, but very good point!
[02:25] <paynegod> kelsin: would have ben nice if the headers were pre-packaged in the distro cd
[02:25] <cylence> jdw: thank you, it's been a while since I worked in linux at all ;) so that helped a lot
[02:25] <jdw> cylence: glad to help
[02:25] <Joshooa> Where else could i try for a valid installation path of firefox?
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> paynegod: What you have them take out to put the headers in?
[02:26] <kelsin> n00bie: does "dmesg | grep -i eth1" give anything alarming?
[02:26] <kelsin> paynegod: most people don't need them on the cd, there's only so much space
[02:26] <muuluu> what types of hardwares are compotable with ubuntu? Mine is core to 2 duo 6600 Geforce 7300 gs asus MB?
[02:26] <swisgard> anybody know why tools such as nmap, scanrand, paratrace, etc always fail or just don't do anything? i have used them before on a default ubuntu installation, and they worked without me having to tweak anything
[02:26] <kelsin> muuluu: you should be fine
[02:26] <alphaiceman> kelsin, I get an error, file doesn't exist can't save file, what do I do?
[02:26] <jdw> swisgard: what are the errors?
[02:26] <paynegod> Jack_Sparrow: i dunno.. maybe overburn it at the end of the cd maybe?? ;-)
[02:27] <muuluu> but any type of linux has freezing problem
[02:27] <kelsin> alphaiceman: what do you mean? what exactly are you doing when getting that error?
[02:27] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d3b98bc2b
[02:27] <swisgard> jdw: with paratrace and scanrand they just sit there and never do anything. and nmap usually gives a "connection reset by peer" flood of messages and then says that all ports are open
[02:27] <kelsin> muuluu: what?
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> paynegod: IT is a subject for offtopic.. not the help room
[02:27] <muuluu> i asked here and google can't find the reason?
[02:27] <Myrtti> paynegod: most of people don't need them
[02:28] <kelsin> Mudkipz: are you saying you have ubuntu install and are getting freezes a lot?
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware | muuluu
[02:28] <ubotu> muuluu: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[02:28] <muuluu> all the linux has freezing problem on my machine like ubuntu mandriva suse fedora
[02:28] <jdw> swisgard: OK, dunno about paratrace and scanrand, but the nmap thing sounds like a network issue. Are you nmapping a server that may have a firewall on it?
[02:28] <alphaiceman> well I do a sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf then I copy and paste those three lines to enable compsite and perform a save
[02:28] <ch8ind> uhh if i delete something on a mounted nfs drive were does that go lol
[02:28] <swisgard> jdw: yes. but i've been able to nmap the same stuff before.
[02:28] <kelsin> ch8ind: deleted it with the gnome file manager?
[02:28] <jdw> swisgard: have you tried the -p0 option with nmap?
[02:28] <swisgard> jdw: and paratrace is for that purpose, mapping firewalls.
[02:28] <swisgard> jdw: yes
[02:29] <ch8ind> i selected it and sent it to the trash
[02:29] <ch8ind> its not in the trash can
[02:29] <alphaiceman> but I get an error saying that the file doen't exist and that I can't save it
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> alphaiceman: that is a bad command to use.. it can really mess up your permissions... use gksudo gedit    ... gksudo for all gui apps
[02:29] <Joshooa> Does it matter where I run the installer from?
[02:29] <swisgard> jdw: i am behind a router, but i don't see why that would be holding it up. also tor and privoxy don't work.
[02:29] <muuluu> is there anyone can say what the problem is?
[02:29] <kelsin> alphaiceman: yeah try what Jack_Sparrow says and use gksudo
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> alphaiceman: and note   X11   not x11
[02:29] <onats> what's a good keylogger program?
[02:29] <alphaiceman> yes thanks guys
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:30] <muuluu> or the hardware to recoomend?
[02:30] <muuluu> sorry recommend
[02:30] <kelsin> n00bie: can you pastebin "lsmod"
[02:30] <muuluu> hnm noone answer again!!!
[02:30] <jdw> swisgard: Hmmm...well, I guess the logical thing to do next would be to bypass the router and try these tools. That would at least eliminate the router as a problem. Seems to me it must be something on your end, though, if you can't use these tools on any remote host
[02:30] <brennanos> Joshooa: have you tried just manually copying the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins?
[02:31] <brennanos> Joshooa: just create the plugins directory yourself
[02:31] <Joshooa> No Ij ust got it
[02:31] <ch8ind> woot found it
[02:31] <ch8ind> i was scared for a moment
[02:31] <kelsin> muuluu: have you tried disabling acpi with any of these distros?
[02:31] <ch8ind> :D
[02:31] <Joshooa> brennanos: I exited and did it again, and this time it just said, "Do you want to install it here?" and I said yes, and it did it
[02:31] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d2251de95
[02:31] <swisgard> jdw: another possibility perhaps is that i'm just using an internal wireless antenna, rather than a wired connection like i used to have. i know this obviously makes a difference for sniffing (no wire to sniff from) but for these kinds of tools should not make a difference should it?
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> muuluu: I showed you the link for supported hardware... Did you read it?
[02:31] <muuluu> yes i tried that
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> People..goodnight, I am too tired to continue...  play nice..
[02:32] <muuluu> ok i'll red it
[02:32] <Joshooa> brennanos: I wonder wtf happened, I've been trying to get flash going for days
[02:32] <kelsin> n00bie: try a "sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200"
[02:32] <muuluu> thansk jack
[02:32] <Joshooa> brennanos: Anyway it works now! On to  youtube!
[02:32] <jdw> swisgard: It won't for nmap (not sure about the other tools). I use it on wireless all the time.
[02:32] <muuluu> goodnight
[02:32] <kelsin> n00bie: and then the "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" again
[02:32] <brennanos> Joshooa: excellent
[02:32] <Joshooa> brennanos: And now there is a plugins directory
[02:33] <n00bie> kelsin: eth1      No scan results
[02:34] <kelsin> n00bie: try "sudo iwconfig eth1 txpower on"
[02:34] <kelsin> n00bie: then that list command again
[02:34] <wy> help! How can I restore my xorg settings? I don't have the original xorg.conf
[02:35] <alphaiceman> I added the three lines, and saved the file, but I still get desktop effects can't be enabled
[02:35] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d6b1f240f
[02:35] <kelsin> alphaiceman: is compoisite enabled? "xdpyinfo | grep -i composite" returns something?

[02:38] <kelsin> alphaiceman: ok so one thing at least set up
[02:38] <foso> can anyone point me to the dawn of ubuntu login manager? i cant find it now, thanks
[02:39] <kelsin> alphaiceman: if you run ccms in the terminal, when you try and enable do you get any errors?

[02:41] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d3a66414c
[02:42] <kelsin> alphaiceman: yes I know, can you run "gnome-appearance-properties" in a terminal and try to enable effects and if it fails see if any errors appear in the terminal?
[02:42] <Myrtti> muuluu: since it's freezing with many distros...
[02:42] <kelsin> Krisiun: whichever works? S3 is better but might not work on more hardware then S1

[02:43] <Myrtti> muuluu: have you considered the problem might be the hardware?

[02:43] <muuluu> yes it might be coz of hardware like my MB Asus and GPU Geforce 7300 GS
[02:44] <muuluu> i searched 3 weeks now
[02:44] <Rafabe> hi...what are the reasons why GRUB would fail installing?
[02:44] <muuluu> i tried all the  methods from google]
[02:44] <n00bie> kelsin: hmm, darn ;(
[02:44] <Rafabe> during installation, that's where it fails. I'd previously installed successfully.
[02:45] <kelsin> n00bie: I would assume it has to do with radio off and no txpower but the two commands to change that are failing :-( so I don' tknow
[02:45] <muuluu> noapic, nopic acpi=off changes mouse freezing to desktop freeze?
[02:45] <n00bie> kelsin: what is txpower
[02:46] <n00bie> ?
[02:46] <muuluu> should i try changing GPU?
[02:46] <muuluu> or MB
[02:46] <kelsin> n00bie: the amount of power to use when sending signals, it's also the only thing differen in your and mine iwconfig outputs
[02:46] <kayce> does anyone know how to set up a 500gb logical array using 2 250gb hdd's?

[02:52] <kelsin> n00bie: can you hit your wireless on/off button once, and then run "sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200" and then see if the iwconfig output is better
[02:52] <muuluu> sorry not me ;-)

[02:54] <Oscar_T> #ubunto beginners

[02:54] <kelsin> n00bie: after that can you paste the end of dmesg again?

[02:57] <n00bie> kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d53aa53ea      (i tried next last commands you gave me a few times, as i wasn't sure if i had pushed the button before or not)
[02:57] <muuluu> hehe i'm trying but no help
[02:57] <jdw> Any MOTU's in here?
[02:57] <Menisk> muuluu, What are you stuck on?
[02:57] <muuluu> 3 weeks now everyday even google can't help me
[02:58] <Menisk> muuluu, It helps if we know what the issue is so we can help.
[02:58] <muuluu> freezing problem makes me stop learning everything
[02:58] <Menisk> muuluu, You need to be specific. When do you freeze?
[02:58] <kelsin> n00bie: what key is your wireless on/off key?
[02:59] <muuluu> first mouse stops then i tried acpi=off it's makes worse, MAchine stops freezing
[02:59] <Myrtti> muuluu: what gpu driver do you have?
[02:59] <cristhian> is there any full featured video editor for linux ubuntu ?
[02:59] <kelsin> n00bie: some people say their bios's have an option to turn off the wireless on/off switch, I would try doing that as well, so that you CAN'T turn it off etc
[02:59] <muuluu> any time i don't really know any application anytine
[02:59] <n00bie> kelsin: it's a shortcut button  (intended for windows i guess)
[03:00] <Ttech2> I need a little help. OR I have a question, is there a better start menu for Ubutnu? Faster editing? Etc?
[03:00] <kelsin> n00bie: that line about the key being off in dmesg is DEF it, what type of computer do you have?
[03:00] <muuluu> but not long very soon about max time 15 min
[03:00] <n00bie> kelsin: it's an   aopen tundra 1557e
[03:00] <kelsin> n00bie: I would def check in the bios and see if you can turn the wireless switch off
[03:00] <whyameye_> would I install 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu for Intel Core Duo (iMac)?
[03:01] <kelsin> whyameye_: I always recommend installing 32bit no matter what
[03:01] <Menisk> whyameye_, Do 32. You can do both but 64 has compatability issues.
[03:01] <kelsin> whyameye_: just imo 64bit is more trouble then worth for desktop use
[03:01] <n00bie> kelsin: ok, i will try that
[03:01] <n00bie> kelsin: thank you for now
[03:01] <muuluu> but there is on google most of the problem bug is with 64?
[03:01] <kelsin> n00bie: but that is your issue, obviously solving it is not trivial, but your wireless card thinks it's off somehow :-(
[03:01] <whyameye_> kelsin: but it will run 64, huh? I've installed 64 on other machines with the ia32 libs and if I have trouble I just install the 32 bit apps and am fine.
[03:02] <kelsin> whyameye_: honestly I don't know :) sorry
[03:02] <whyameye_> Menisk: 64 has compatibility isssues with core duo or Imac specifically or just in general has compat issues?
[03:02] <Menisk> whyameye_, Don't use 64bit unless you have a good reason. For everydays stuff there is no beneifit and it has compat issues.
[03:03] <Menisk> whyameye_, It has issues because more dev focus is on 32 as it s used more.
[03:03] <Menisk> whyameye_, 64 will become better when more people use it.
[03:03] <cristhian> come on there must be a video edition lover at here.  dont disappoint me !
[03:04] <whyameye_> but I am confirming core duo is a 64 bit processor? That's the part I didn't know...
[03:04] <Menisk> whyameye_, Core 2 duo is 64bit.
[03:04] <muuluu> hnm when i talk about freezing thing everyone run away from me???
[03:05] <cristhian> please videoLover tell me a full featured video editor for my ubuntu! im gettin crazy
[03:06] <mzracer360> anyone recommend me a good text-based CD ripping software that I can use with my Ubuntu 7.10 server edition?  Thanks!
[03:06] <kayce> there is bound to be one
[03:06] <bigal> how determine my x version
[03:06] <muuluu> freezing problem anyone can help?
[03:06] <Menisk> muuluu, We can't help when you're not specific about it.
[03:06] <kelsin> cristhian: cinelerra is the only one I've ever heard of
[03:06] <Rodietze> ;(
[03:06] <whyameye_> mzracer360: cdrdao
[03:07] <whyameye_> mzracer360: sorry I misread. I don't know about ripping.
[03:07] <c0mp13371331337_> Anyone here using a Logitech Access keyboard?
[03:07] <kelsin> muuluu: you have an EXTREMELY generic issue. without more info we've said everything we can, check the ram, check the power supply,, check your graphics card, try acpi etc
[03:07] <cristhian> thnx at least i have an idea now
[03:07] <Rodietze> can't isntall it on my HP Pavillion laptop
[03:07] <muuluu> Well i'll start everything with hardware
[03:08] <Rodietze> does that really work on hp laptops?
[03:08] <kayce> i use a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse
[03:08] <BB88> How can I edit the default programs that are associated with .mp3 opening?
[03:08] <thejinx0r> Hi Guys, I'm trying to customize my own kernel. I was wondering if the info about a setting is not enough about what it does, where can I find out what it does?
[03:08] <kelsin> BB88: right click on an mp3 and goto propertire and then the openwith tab
[03:08] <c0mp13371331337_> Kayce - Does your keyboard have Vol +/- keys?
[03:08] <tehm0nk> does mdadm have any settings that can be tweaked or something
[03:08] <kelsin> thejinx0r: the source unfortunately, or just googling it
[03:08] <kayce> yes, need setpoint for them to work
[03:08] <BB88> kelsin: Thank you.
[03:09] <kayce> in which Logitech doesnt suport Linux
[03:09] <c0mp13371331337_> kayce - Setpoint, is that a program?
[03:09] <kayce> with setpoint at least
[03:09] <tehm0nk> mdadm is installed, but it will not recognize my raid stripe setup
[03:09] <kayce> for wireless as far as i know, yes
[03:09] <thejinx0r> kelsin: oh well, google hasn't been too friendly with me in the past couple days with kernel customization. Thanks anyways. Maybe I'll hit break with google soon enough :)
[03:10] <kelsin> thejinx0r: yeah there really isn't a one stop shop for random kernel config settings unfortunately
[03:10] <kayce> wired may have its own program, but Logitech still doesnt support Linux, unfortunatly
[03:10] <kelsin> thejinx0r: (afaik, that I've found)
[03:11] <c0mp13371331337_> kayce - Well mine isn't wireless, but the volume buttons work very oddly.  Regardless of the current volume level, Volume Down mutes, and volume up unmutes but leaves the volume at 0%, regardless of how many times I press it.
[03:11] <kelsin> c0mp13371331337_: did you try System -> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortcuts and reassigning the keys to volume up and volume down again?
[03:12] <mzracer360> anyone else know of a good text-based CD ripping software that I can use with my Ubuntu 7.10 server edition?
[03:12] <BB88> Anybody know if Wine Emulator will allow Visual Basic 6.0 to run?
[03:12] <kelsin> mzracer360: I think abcde is good, I havn't used it though
[03:12] <c0mp13371331337_> kelsin - oh yes, been all through the keyboard shortcuts, keymaps, etc.  It all points keys correctly, but doesn't seem to work.
[03:12] <kelsin> BB88: Wine is not an emulator! (Sorry I actually don't have any useful info about your question, probably should check the wine appdb)
[03:13] <kayce> hm..
[03:13] <abdulla> what is a light good app to open .rar files?
[03:13] <kelsin> abdulla: if you install the rar package then the gnome file-roller app can open them like tar.gz and zipfiles
[03:13] <BB88> kelsin: The title in the depositories is quite misleading 'Wine Windows Emulator', but thank you nonetheless.
[03:14] <abdulla> where is rar package ? in add/remove or synaptic kelsin
[03:14] <kelsin> BB88: yeah I know :-( even though the title contradicts that title :-(
[03:14] <wy> How can I tell which package is providing a file?
[03:14] <Stupid^Kid> i wan't to study Gimp so i open the home page of gimp.org
[03:14] <kelsin> abdulla: search synaptic for rar, I just normally install the rar and unrar-free packages
[03:15] <Wing> wy: Install the apt-file package and run apt-file search <filename>
[03:15] <abdulla> thanks kelsin
[03:15] <muuluu> i have custom built Machine with GPU: Geforce 7300GS CPU: Core to duo 6600 MB: Asus P5ND2 SE first Mouse freezing, i tried UBS Legacy off on Bios settings Desktop freeze, tried ACPI=off Desktop freeze with any applications running random time changed graphinc drivers from Nvidia site, Ad or Remove Synaptic package MGR, With all types of Linux(Suse Fedora Ubuntu Mandriva) ?
[03:15] <kelsin> wy: dpkg -S <file>
[03:15] <Wing> wy: Or what kelsin said.
[03:15] <wy> Thanks!
[03:15] <Stupid^Kid> i wonder what's the difference between docs and tutorials
[03:15] <kelsin> wy: the dpkg is for installed package,s you need to install apt-file like Wing said to find stuff in packages you don't have installed
[03:15] <Rodietze> muuluu I have the same problems
[03:16] <Rodietze> muuluu but I got a laptop, I always used linux but this is impossible now, NO LINUX distro runs on it...

[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Rodietze: Get the ALTERNATE cd

[03:27] <wy> kelsin: Thanks
[03:27] <kayce> jBOD? let me see
[03:27] <muuluu> Rodietze?
[03:28] <kshl_m> Anybody here know which package contains the C C++ libraries in Gusty??
[03:28] <kelsin> kshl_m: just install "build-essential"

[03:28] <kayce> no, i dont think there is
[03:28] <Rodietze> that's ridiculous
[03:28] <kelsin> kshl_m: comes with all the base stuff needed for compiling
[03:28] <muuluu> use synaptic to search
[03:28] <shea|up> kshl_m, g++
