[02:46] <maly> oo you just downloaded wine 0.9.33 :D?
[02:46] <lufis> greig_: System > administration > firestarter
[02:46] <gnu-linux> yeah
[02:46] <maly> do u play cs
[02:46] <greig_> lufis : lol thanks,
[02:46] <MattCampbell> For a somewhat old computer with a 600 MHz Pentium 3 processor and 384 MB of RAM, which I'm setting up for a user with no prior Linux experience, would GNOME or KDE be feasible?
[02:46] <lufis> greig_: :)
[02:46] <mikebeecham> Can someone help me understand why X-Window has not changed my screen resolution, when I asked it to be set to 1280 x 1024?
[02:46] <MattCampbell> Or would Xfce be better given the limited resources?
[02:46] <Kube> [M] orpheus: ths?
[02:47] <gnu-linux> no i play call of duty 2
[02:47] <[M] orpheus> Kube: thanks :D
[02:47] <maly> what graphics card you got
[02:47] <Kunk> BeastlyKings: looked at the example config for grub & windows? Does it match?
[02:47] <Kube> what for?
[02:47] <lufis> mikebeecham: Did you take a look at that link?
[02:47] <gnu-linux> i got agforce
[02:47] <lufis> mikebeecham: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:47] <maly> do you notice any performance like SLOWNESS ?
[02:47] <gnu-linux> gforce
[02:47] <who_> has anyone here got experience with POWER PC?
[02:47] <mikebeecham> lufis: I did mate, and followed the instructions.  I went through setting up my X-Window again, but nothing changed
[02:47] <[M] orpheus> Kube: wrong nick =S... sry =(
[02:48] <who_> I'm new to ubuntu on mac but NOT new to ubuntu
[02:48] <maly> lagy fps go up and down slow gameplay does this happen to you?
[02:48] <Kube> [M] orpheus: no worries :)... someone does keep stealing it :/
[02:48] <BeastlyKings> Kunk, I do not follow what you are saying, but here is this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11956/  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11954/
[02:48] <mikebeecham> lufis: and the link is down as well, which makes going back over it a little difficult
[02:48] <lufis> MattCampbell: I would say so. I don't run on that much memory and gnome works well
[02:48] <jason0_> Is there a way to make icons only appear on specific monitor (I'm running dual head)
[02:48] <lufis> mikebeecham: Hm
[02:48] <gnu-linux> no
[02:48] <maly> what is your linux called?
[02:48] <lufis> MattCampbell: The important thing is the swap is big. 500 mb is good
[02:49] <gnu-linux> ubuntu feisty
[02:49] <mikebeecham> lufis: after setting up my X-Window again, I went back into my screen resolution, but there is only the settings of 1024, 800 and 640
[02:49] <Generalmozamota> Ok, I am having some trouble trying to boot from a hard drive on a sata pci card
[02:49] <lufis> mikebeecham: I dunno. i had the same problem but reconfiguring X fixes it
[02:49] <lufis> fixed*
[02:49] <BeastlyKings> Kunk?
[02:50] <maly> and
[02:50] <maly> do you use the update tool ?
[02:50] <mikebeecham> lufis: strange, I know...not really too sure what to look at now.  I've installed everything to do with nvidia that I can via Synaptics, but nothing there either
[02:50] <maly> or manually install?
[02:50] <maly> wine
[02:51] <giskardd> i seem to have messed up synaptic package manager, i get this error:  E: The package mfc5440cnlpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.  E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[02:51] <Kunk> BeastlyKings: Perhaps I'm not the best one to help - haven't used windows in 6 years - but did you load the bootloader in MBR or in boot partition?
[02:51] <twysted> mikebeecham> you may have to reconfigure X
[02:51] <gnu-linux> i installed the 0.9.32 from update tool and it upgraded to 0.9.33
[02:51] <giskardd> then it shows no packages on the list
[02:51] <mikebeecham> twysted: Yeah, I just tried that and nothing changed
[02:51] <maly> did you run any commands like
[02:51] <maly> opengl
[02:51] <maly> directx
[02:51] <maly> maybe?
[02:52] <twysted> mikebeecham> what do you mean nothing changes
[02:52] <gnu-linux> no, for what?
[02:52] <maly> well i read on forum
[02:52] <Kunk> BeastlyKings: I have a hunch it's in the MBR. Can you load Ubuntu properly, and Windows is the one that is not accesible?
[02:52] <maly> this
[02:52] <gnu-linux> ok
[02:52] <BeastlyKings> Kunk: I'm not sure, all I did was have the installer do everything for me but now after a couple days it doesn't work.
[02:52] <maly> wait to paste
[02:52] <gnu-linux> ok
[02:52] <BeastlyKings> Kunk: Yes ubuntu is fine
[02:52] <ammiel> Hello
[02:53] <maly> found it
[02:53] <maly> ./configure --enable-opengl
[02:53] <maly> BUT
[02:53] <maly> this must mean
[02:53] <ammiel> are there other dvd encryptions other than CSS?
[02:53] <mikebeecham> twysted: my screen resolution will not any higher than 1024 x 768.  I have reconfigured X and included the 1280 resolution, but when I finish configutration and go back to my screen resolutions, it still does not appear and I cannot go up a res!
[02:53] <ammiel> I have a dvd I can't seem to even mount, and I have css........
[02:53] <gnu-linux> that'swhen ur compiling
[02:53] <nexes> ammiel: No.
[02:53] <maly> yes
[02:53] <Kunk> BeastlyKings: Windows is notorious for wanting the boot sector to itself (as in MBR) so you will probably have to google for multiboot - I had the fiel a one time, but . . .
[02:53] <maly> and you can only compile it if you download tar.gz right ?
[02:54] <gnu-linux> yes and the .tar.bz2
[02:54] <maly> so this means i cant download that filetype ?
[02:54] <nexes> ammiel: The disc should mount regardless, the libdecss library should only affect whether or not a movie viewing app can decode/display it.
[02:54] <gnu-linux> yeah if u are able to compile it
[02:55] <maly> eh
[02:55] <maly> hmm
[02:55] <maly> are you english ?
[02:55] <maly> fully
[02:55] <gnu-linux> yeah
[02:55] <maly> hm
[02:55] <maly> so
[02:55] <maly> i should
[02:55] <BeastlyKings> Kunk, thanks, I'll look that up
[02:55] <maly> download tar.gz
[02:55] <maly> of wine
[02:55] <maly> and compile it with ./configure --enable-opengl
[02:55] <maly> ?
[02:55] <gnu-linux> no
[02:56] <Pelo> maly,  are you trying to install wine ?
[02:56] <maly> and why not?
[02:56] <gnu-linux> u have to do a couple step
[02:56] <Clint_> Hey
[02:56] <Stormx2> What is a "u" ?
[02:56] <gnu-linux> that one is the first one
[02:56] <maly> no im trying to make wine performance on cs nonsteam 100% like using windows normal :D
[02:56] <Clint_> Grub doesn't have vista in it, how do I add vista to the list of OSes?
[02:56] <maly> can you tell me them
[02:56] <Kunk> BeastlyKings: sorry I can't help mor, but in the Ubuntu help forum I think that's where I saw it. I'm going back to play on my Mandriva box until I get my prob fixed.
[02:56] <ott0> the config script for php-gtk is saying I don't have GLib ... searched for glib in synaptic and didn't seem to find it, anyone know what's up?
[02:56] <Pelo> Clint_,   ask in #grub
[02:57] <ammiel> nexes, It doesnt, I try mounting in terminal and it says trying to mount read-only then it says specify filesystem type
[02:57] <HipotermiA> out
[02:57] <maly> pelo you know how to tweak wine ?
[02:57] <ott0> checking for GLIB - version >= 2.6.0... no
[02:57] <Pelo> maly,  try asking in #winehq
[02:57] <BeastlyKings> Kunk, don't worry, I'll post it on the forums aswell to see if I get some more answers
[02:57] <maly> aa yes
[02:57] <maly> good idea
[02:57] <maly> except
[02:57] <maly> i dont know how to use irc :D
[02:57] <jaybuntu> god I love ubuntu and debian
[02:57] <maly> tell me where i go to type new servers to connect
[02:58] <jaybuntu> it well......is my fav distro's
[02:58] <maly> pls
[02:58] <Pelo> maly,    type  /join #winehq
[02:58] <Stormx2> ott0: sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
[02:58] <maly> ok thanks
[02:58] <jaybuntu> or...
[02:58] <quaal> anyone know what causes this when trying to create a raid array mdadm: /dev/md0 does not appear to be an md device
[02:58] <Clint_> Pelo all you're doing is sending people to other chans :}
[02:58] <Clint_> :|*
[02:59] <h1st0> lol
[02:59] <Shaba1> I think this laptops cd is misalinged
[02:59] <Pelo> Clint_,   I'm sending ppl to the right channel
[02:59] <ott0> thanks Stormx2
[02:59] <jaybuntu> maly
[02:59] <nexes> ammiel: I'm not sure how exactly to mount a disc by the command line..do your discs normally auto-mount?
[02:59] <Shaba1> or I do not have enought ram to install ubunto
[02:59] <Shaba1> becaue it should not take this long
[02:59] <ammiel> nexes, yeah
[02:59] <quaal> Pelo, any linux raid channels?
[02:59] <Generalmozamota> I could use someone's help trying to get a hard drive to boot on an sata pci card
[02:59] <Clint_> Pelo, type /join #your_mom
[02:59] <h1st0> Shaba1: you can do a check of the media from the menu when you boot to the cd.
[02:59] <Stormx2> nexes: Depends, but basically "sudo mount /media/cdrom"
[02:59] <Pelo> quaal,  not that I know of
[03:00] <h1st0> lmao
[03:00] <Moitio> documentation site down?
[03:00] <h1st0> No one in #your_mom
[03:01] <h1st0> lol
[03:01] <nexes> Stormx2: Well, you'd need to specify the device.
[03:01] <Stormx2> Lets take this #outside.
[03:01] <leafw> the ubuntu launchpad website does NOT accept any more bugs
[03:01] <leafw> is that perfect, or the servers are screwed?
[03:01] <notwen> hello, anyone familiar w/ smbfs? I'm wondering how i would go about adding this shared drive to my /etc/fstab?
[03:01] <nexes> Like, sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[03:01] <Stormx2> nexes: not if its in fstab
[03:01] <h1st0> or to #ubuntu-offtopic would be better
[03:01] <Pelo> leafw,  might be getting ready for the next release
[03:02] <h1st0> notwen: just add a line
[03:02] <Pelo> I'm done
[03:02] <nexes> Ahah, okay then.
[03:02] <leafw> Pelo : I thought so too, but man, bringing up one function to bring down another is not a good idea
[03:02] <h1st0> notwen: I'm mounting my samaba share on boot from my server.
[03:02] <h1st0> notwen: you just have to use dmask and umask to set permissions.
[03:02] <Frag1le> hi
[03:02] <notwen> //servername/sharename /mountdirectory smbfs credentials=/home/myhomedirectory/.smbpassword,uid=notwen 0 0
[03:02] <notwen> what is servername and sharename?
[03:02] <__mikem> Did someone just get banned?
[03:02] <tbuss> ftp is a disaster, i have received tons of help but Murphy is still here
[03:02] <h1st0> notwen: the servername
[03:03] <notwen> in comparison to my windows workgroup?
[03:03] <h1st0> notwen: and the share name
[03:03] <h1st0> notwen: or you can do //<IP_ADDRESS>/sharename
[03:03] <Shaba1> Ok shit
[03:03] <h1st0> notwen: well if the linux box is on the same workgroup you just use the hostname of the server in there.
[03:03] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy
[03:03] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:03] <Shaba1> here we go for the 5th time
[03:03] <__mikem> tonyyarusso, you beat me to it
[03:04] <tbuss> how can computers on my local network connect to ftp but outside the network ftp is not accessible. I have opened all necessary ports and configured my router accordingly, what else could be the problem
[03:04] <h1st0> tbuss: you shouldn't have to open or forward ports.  Unlessyou are runing some sort of firewall some where.
[03:05] <wilo> hello all
[03:05] <nexes> h1st0: He has a router.
[03:05] <tbuss> h1st0: i have a wireless router installed
[03:05] <catxk> what good bittorrent clients are there that supports multitorrenting and individual file prioritization EXCEPT azureus and ktorrent? something like utorrent would be swell... (not azureus!) thanks
[03:05] <jotham> hi i can't seem to get the default ubuntu install of vim to load any plugins, any ideas?
[03:05] <shatrat> have you tried azureus?
[03:05] <jaybuntu> god its so easy now a days setting up beryl on ubuntu
[03:05] <jaybuntu> i love it
[03:05] <h1st0> tbuss: well the router won't deny ftp from inside the network out.  But it would deny from the out in.
[03:05] <nexes> catxk: What's wrong with KTorrent?
[03:05] <Pelo> catxk,  utorrent running on wine  , or the latest version of deluge torrent , from the site
[03:06] <Virgil> Does anyone know of problems booting from the AMD64 disc? I just wanted to try the OS out and the first problem is that my keyboard doesnt seem to be enabled at the boot menu (Start/Install Ubuntu, other options, etc). After that it says loading kernel, proceeds to do so, then sits at a splash screen with a progress bar going back and forth for about 5 minutes, finally I get to a light yellow screen with my mouse. Nothing else on the screen
[03:06] <catxk> nexes: doesn't run well on my machine for some reason...
[03:06] <tbuss> h1st0: I enebled port fowarding on the router for port 21 is there a range I should enter?
[03:06] <Frag1le> AMD 2500+, nforce2 abit an7, radeon 9700pro, Can't get ubuntu to boot. Live CD won't get passed the Progress bar starting ubuntu, Then tried the alternate cd..installed ubuntu same problem..won't get passed the Openings loading bar. Can anyone help me?
[03:06] <nexes> catxk: Are you looking for a basic torrent client, or are you on private trackers?
[03:06] <h1st0> tbuss: are you trying to ftp from inside of your network to the outside world?  Or the other way around?
[03:07] <Crazytom> it's been a while but i thought ftp was port 23?
[03:07] <h1st0> Frag1le: safe graphics mode or boot to recovery mode and installt he apropriate video drivers.
[03:07] <Dave_O`Tool> 21
[03:07] <catxk> nexes: just wanna do my fare share of tv show piracy is all, so basic with some extra fucntionallity to be bale to prioritize certain files in a torrent :)
[03:07] <Frag1le> won't work
[03:07] <h1st0> Crazytom: 21
[03:07] <tbuss> h1st0: when I try from the inside, success. When I try from the outside, no connection
[03:07] <shatrat> Crazytom, 23 is ssh I think
[03:07] <Frag1le> safe graphics mode has same problem
[03:07] <Dave_O`Tool> 21
[03:07] <h1st0> tbuss: okay
[03:07] <Crazytom> oh that's it
[03:07] <Frag1le> i tried the alternate cd, that's text mode
[03:07] <Frag1le> it installs
[03:07] <tbuss> h1st0: I called my parents to see if they could connect, they can't.
[03:08] <budman> Can anyone help me mount an ISO?
[03:08] <Frag1le> but then on the first boot, it hangs after the first progress loading bar
[03:08] <budman> its erroring with -o loop
[03:08] <Virgil> Nobody has any information on my problem? =[
[03:08] <nexes> catxk: If KTorrent isn't working right for some reason, then probably your best bet is uTorrent in Wine. As long as you're on public trackers, there are other clients like QTorrent that are okay.
[03:08] <h1st0> tbuss: well to get the outside world to be able to ftp in.  You need to go in your routers config and tell it to forward port 21 to an ip inside your network.  i.e. 192.168.1.XXX.  Then when a person outside trys to connect to your public IP all information would be forwarded to that computer inside.
[03:08] <Dave_O`Tool> to much reading virgil
[03:08] <Virgil> lol
[03:08] <nexes> But if you're on a tracker that monitors stats, any private tracker, Qtorrent will get you banned.
[03:08] <Dave_O`Tool> lol
[03:09] <Virgil> Basically Ubuntu freezes when I try to boot it from an AMD64 disc.
[03:09] <h1st0> tbuss: keep in mind your public ip will be different than your internal ip.
[03:09] <robdeman> cartmanhey folks.. Im on Ubuntu 6.10 .. but I really want to install mencoder from Feisty.. it as an updated version... can I temporarily use feisty as repository?
[03:09] <Dave_O`Tool> tbuss: Try the DMZ on your router
[03:09] <h1st0> tbuss: your publick ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <tbuss> h1st0: I configured the router like you suggested, port forward on 21 and assign ip for computer that will share files
[03:09] <Dave_O`Tool> tbuss: ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <catxk> nexes: ok, I'll look into wine, thanks a lot!
[03:09] <nexes> catxk: One bit of advice for uTorrent in Wine: Turn on a dedicated wine desktop with the 'winecfg' line in a terminal. uTorrent will randomly disappear at times if you don't. It's a weird bug.
[03:10] <h1st0> tbuss: Is your router set up for DHCP?
[03:10] <nexes> No problem. ;)
[03:10] <notwen> h1st0: would sharename be my windoze workgroup or computer name?
[03:10] <Smacky_Wolf> catxk, apparantly, there's a linux version of uTorrent being worked on.. Fingers crossed. =3
[03:10] <h1st0> notwen: Your computername on the network.
[03:10] <notwen> thanks
[03:10] <h1st0> notwen: or you can use the ip of the computer like I suggested earlier.
[03:10] <tbuss> h1st0: yes
[03:11] <tbuss> Dave_0`Tool: how can I connect with another ip other than the public, inside the network that is what Ive been doing
[03:11] <Dave_O`Tool> tbuss you sure your ip is the one you fowarded like port 21 to .100
[03:11] <h1st0> tbuss: okay well just leave it DHCP and specify the ip on your server outside of the routers range.  Like if its dhcp'ing <IP_ADDRESS> - 150  just have your server be <IP_ADDRESS>  Then port forward 21 to your server in your routers config.
[03:11] <Pelo> nexes,  what version of wine are you using ? I have never had this problem on my utorrent/wine install , I even have it matching my theme
[03:12] <gnomefreak> robdeman: no its not safe
[03:12] <Dave_O`Tool> tbuss pm me
[03:12] <nexes> Pelo: I'm using the latest, but it's happened over the last few months with all the latest releases of Wine. I personally use rTorrent now though.
[03:12] <robdeman> gnomefreak: mmm
[03:12] <Dave_O`Tool> unless you are not reged
[03:12] <robdeman> gnomefreak: so I will need to compile it from SVN then
[03:12] <catxk> Smacky_Wolf: yeah but then there's the thing with it being bought by bittorrent inc (i.e. hollywoord) which doesn't sound to appealing :)
[03:12] <gnomefreak> robdeman: libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1)  is not in edgy so you would upgrade that and nothing will work
[03:12] <Pelo> nexes,  very odd
[03:12] <nexes> Pelo: It was odd. uTorrent would be running, but would somehow get removed from the screen. It happened to a friend as well.
[03:12] <gnomefreak> robdeman: yes
[03:12] <robdeman> gnomefreakL wouldnt that screw up my Ubuntu installation?
[03:13] <gnomefreak> or upgrade to feisty (also not really a good idea atm
[03:13] <nexes> I had to delete the settings files and reload my torrents, then it would return to normal.
[03:13] <robdeman> gnomefreak: i have a minimal install.. webserver.. thats all .no gnome etc
[03:13] <gnomefreak> robdeman: yes majorly
[03:13] <catxk> nexes: ok, thanks again :)
[03:13] <Pelo> nexes,  were you using the them function in winecfg ?
[03:13] <jesusphreak> Jordan_U: Okay, I am connected by a wired connection on Ubuntu
[03:13] <nexes> The uTorrent settings specifically, so it's certainly a uTorrent problem in wine.
[03:13] <Smacky_Wolf> catxk, hrmf... I'm not so sure about that being a bad thing.. but I do believe the effect remains to be seen
[03:13] <h1st0> Yeah upgrading to fiesty atm would not be a good idea atleast wait a few hours for some packages to be fixed.
[03:13] <nexes> catxk: No problem. ;p
[03:13] <nexes> Pelo: What do you mean?
[03:13] <gnomefreak> robdeman: libc is the main lib it is very important you use only the version compatible with your install
[03:13] <robdeman> gnomefreak: so there is no chance sombody compiled a binary if mencoder rc1 for Ubuntu 6.10 right..
[03:14] <gnomefreak> robdeman: no but if i look at it i might
[03:14] <Jordan_U> jesusphreak: What happens when you try: iwconfig ath0 ?
[03:14] <Dave_O`Tool> I get a wierd error
[03:14] <Dave_O`Tool> www.agservers.com/linux_error.JPG
[03:14] <robdeman> gnomefreak: so to compile it myself I need to install tons of libraries and stuff I guess
[03:14] <jesusphreak> Jordan_U: 'no such device
[03:14] <Pelo> nexes,  there is a function to select themes for wine runnig applications ,  to match your dekstop,  this function is a bit weird, thought that might be the problem
[03:14] <nexes> I didn't have anything other than the basic wine theme.
[03:14] <tbuss> h1st0; so assign <IP_ADDRESS> in my routers settings?
[03:14] <nexes> I just checked, and no theme was turned on.
[03:15] <Dave_O`Tool> hey tbuss
[03:15] <gnomefreak> robdeman: read the documentation i dont know without looking at it
[03:15] <robdeman> ok
[03:15] <Jordan_U> jesusphreak: Do macbooks use atheros cards?
[03:15] <Smacky_Wolf> OK... so I'm having problems with PCI devices in my laptop. Everytime I insert a PCMCIA or a mini-PCI card into my machine, I receive an IOREMAP failed error in dmesg.. anyone have any idea if there is something software level that I can do, or if it's a problem with my hardware that I can't rectify?
[03:15] <qbert_> argh, anyone have a wireless laptop working with ubuntu ?
[03:15] <tbuss> Dave_0`Tool: whats up
[03:15] <Dave_O`Tool> can you pm?
[03:15] <Smacky_Wolf> qbert_, I did before.
[03:15] <catxk> Smacky_Wolf: sure, I don't know, it's just something that doesn't really rhyme with the concept of  downloading movies with closed source software owned by hollywood :)
[03:15] <tbuss> Dave_0`Tool i dont think im registered
[03:15] <Dave_O`Tool> #routers if not
[03:15] <nexes> Pelo: If you're a hardcore torrenter, you should check out rTorrent.
[03:15] <qbert_> Smacky_Wolf:  where do i see a list of available wireless networks
[03:16] <Smacky_Wolf> qbert_, using KDE or GNOME?
[03:16] <viator> hey my broadcome 4318 Finally works with ubuntu
[03:16] <qbert_> gnome
[03:16] <Dave_O`Tool> #routers tbuss
[03:16] <Crazytom> qbert_, what kind of card are you using?
[03:16] <nexes> With 300 torrents and a 10Mbit line, it's under 30MB of RAM and at 0% CPU most of the time..and you can leave it running with screen.
[03:16] <jesusphreak> Jordan_U: probably so I'm not sure; I had thought it was only second gen Macbooks that used Atheros but I am not sure
[03:16] <viator> well i had to use fwcutter
[03:16] <qbert_> intel
[03:16] <tbuss> Dave_0`Tool: okay
[03:16] <viator> but it worked :)
[03:16] <qbert_> its a thinkpad t60
[03:16] <Crazytom> qbert_, iwlist <interface> scan
[03:16] <Hyper-cool> i'm dying here. How can i fix this HAL failure to initialize error?
[03:16] <Jordan_U> jesusphreak: Just a second, I am actually in OSx now :) let me boot Ubuntu
[03:16] <Pelo> nexes,  utorrent on wine works very well for me,  I did enough support for ut and wrote several guides , It would feel like a betrale,  but I can'T wait for the linux version
[03:16] <Smacky_Wolf> qbert_, head into Synaptic and do a search to see if you have any wifi scanners installed. If so, just run wifiradar or whatever to look at a graphical use
[03:16] <matthew1429> if I wanted to make a script to change permissions in directories that I specify in the script... do I just make a launcher?  what's the bash syntax?
[03:17] <GekiBlue> Is comix the best program for sequential image viewing? :O
[03:17] <Pelo> I'm off, later folks
[03:17] <darksoule> lets see if i can stay connected for 30 seconds... bah!
[03:17] <nexes> Take it easy, Pelo.

[03:18] <Crazytom> Hyper-cool, did you disable apic?
[03:18] <adx2> what's the package name for it?
[03:18] <viator> i tried the driver
[03:18] <robdeman> gnomefreak: Ok I will go for it -- install all the dev tools libs and stuff and compile it myself :)
[03:18] <Crazytom> *apci
[03:18] <darksoule> my brother installed ubuntu. can i add KDE with a kubuntu disk?

[03:19] <viator> yes
[03:19] <Crazytom> qbert_, iwconfig eth2 essid Rubix
[03:20] <qbert_> where essid is the name of the connection ?

[03:21] <gonzoism> what are we doing for gaim ?   i guess i want beta 6.  its for dapper.  is there a package or a howto ?  i've searched
[03:21] <Crazytom> qbert_, it's listed next to essid in in iwlist output
[03:22] <odinriko> what does this mean? gcc is unable to create an executable file.
[03:22] <odinriko> If gcc is a cross-compiler, use the --cross-compile option.
[03:22] <odinriko> Only do this if you know what cross compiling means.
[03:22] <odinriko> C compiler test failed.
[03:22] <hijjt> odinriko, bad things have happened to gcc

[03:26] <odinriko> hijjt, ok that I don't know how to do, link to a manual?
[03:26] <Foon1> how would I find out under linux?

[03:27] <Foon1> I rather doubt it's either Nvidia or ATI...what's randr? I ran it and it just gave me some stats
[03:27] <Jordan_U> Foon, lspci, and hope it is intel not ATI :)
[03:28] <Ahorner> foon1: go to system>administration>device manager
[03:28] <hijjt> odinriko, you can also purge it by 'sudo aptitude purge build-essential' and then reinstall it, which will get rid of its config files too
[03:28] <odinriko> hijjt, that only reinstalled the "build-essential" package and the error persists.
[03:28] <Hyper-cool> Crazytom, oh. i have not disabled ACPI yet... althoug i am noticing acpi errors on boot and in the syslog. i can't figure what they are affecting
[03:28] <Foon1> Ahorner: I'm using fluxbox, this is a Edgy LAMP
[03:28] <Foon1> I added the window manager et al manually
[03:28] <Jordan_U> throllz, dvdrip will rip dvd's :)
[03:28] <jesusphreak> Jordan_U: lo and eth0 both say 'interface doesn't support scanning' ... that's it
[03:29] <Crazytom> Hyper-cool, that probably has something to do with it then
[03:29] <Ahorner> huh
[03:29] <Ahorner> LAMP??

[03:32] <screv> hi, ime totally new to *nix. i have ubuntu running fine, but i wanted to know if there is any way i can access a second HD, a win ntfs drive
[03:32] <Ahorner> so you only get options for 480x600 and 600x800?
[03:32] <throllz> Jordan_U:  do you reccomend a specific format to save the Movies on teh PC? I mean on the PC AUDIO_TS and VIDO_TS doesn't make hell lotta sense
[03:32] <Ahorner> it means you dont have the right videocard drivers
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> r4nge: In /boot/grub/menu.lst, on the kernel lines
[03:32] <darksoule> will that work from a kubuntu disk or do I need to connect to the internet?
[03:32] <hijjt> odinriko, gcc is a c compiler, g++ is your cpp compiler`
[03:32] <Foon1> Ahorner 640x480 and 800x600, yeah
[03:32] <Foon1> the old screen supports up to 1024x768
[03:33] <Foon1> but it won't display for some reason. I'm on my regular screen atm
[03:33] <Ahorner> foon1: you need to find what video card you have and download the correct drivers from the manufacturer's website
[03:33] <r4nge> tonyyarusso: thanks.. trying to understand upstart a little better, perhaps this'll help
[03:33] <Smacky_Wolf> OK... so I'm having problems with PCI devices in my laptop. Everytime I insert a PCMCIA or a mini-PCI card into my machine, I receive an IOREMAP failed error in dmesg.. anyone have any idea if there is something software level that I can do, or if it's a problem with my hardware that I can't rectify?
[03:33] <Teletran1> does anyone know how to get 1024x768 mode on a fresh ubuntu install with a ati rage 128 card? i cant seem to get drivers for this bad boy
[03:33] <Ahorner> that should fix everything
[03:33] <Foon1> ah
[03:33] <odinriko> well, why would G++ work and not GCC?
[03:33] <Foon1> guess so,yeah, bleh
[03:33] <jesusphreak> how can I pretty up the fonts in Ubuntu?
[03:33] <Foon1> I've gotten it working before, too
[03:33] <Foon1> sigh
[03:33] <Ahorner> lol
[03:33] <Foon1> under Fedora Core, anyway
[03:33] <Foon1> can't remember how though
[03:34] <r4nge> odinriko: make sure you get the "gcc" package
[03:34] <Ahorner> its what i had to do lol my resolution is 1440x900 lol
[03:34] <hijjt> darksoule, you have to add the cd as a source in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:34] <Foon1> ..and it was with a different machine
[03:34] <hijjt> darksoule, then you will be able to

[03:42] <Foon1> vesa?
[03:42] <Foon1> ..ok
[03:43] <r4nge> any way to see a step by step of things starting during a reboot.. for example, seeing rcS scripts starting one by one, then rc2 scripts, etc
[03:43] <hijjt> Foon1, in your xorg.conf

[03:44] <luiX_> hi
[03:44] <Ahorner> foon1: you have to get the drivers, iyts the only way
[03:44] <Foon1> how do I switch to it, hijjt?
[03:44] <hijjt> Foon1, edit your xorg.conf
[03:44] <cafuego_> Foon1: It's quite possible that you need the closed mga driver off the matrox website.
[03:44] <Foon1> where's that, hijjt?
[03:44] <r4nge> cafuego: but i was actually hoping to see them start during the boot up
[03:44] <Foon1> cafuego_: ah
[03:45] <hijjt> Foon1, it is in /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[03:45] <Ahorner> foon1: exactly what cafu said

[03:49] <Foon1> :O ok
[03:50] <hijjt> Foon1, http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/support/drivers/previous/prv_drv.cfm#Linux
[03:50] <linxeh> its a g200 yes
[03:50] <darksoule> brb
[03:50] <hijjt> Foon1, can you give me a rough estimate of what hardware it is
[03:51] <hijjt> Foon1, what cpu?
[03:51] <shark-1> how can i block myspace on my home wireless network
[03:51] <bitwiseshiftleft> as a related question, is it possible to burn the cd to flash, and then boot from flash?  and if so, what changes need to be made?
[03:51] <StoneNote> Ademan, I've never thought to look into it.  I've used it twice since I installed it. unpacked the 7zip file and then did whatever I needed with it.  So I can't say it's impossible.
[03:51] <Ahorner> how do u do the (quit:your text here) thing
[03:51] <hijjt> Foon1, then the linux 2002 drivers should be it
[03:51] <Foon1> Pentium 1
[03:51] <Ahorner> is it /quit (message)
[03:51] <Ademan> StoneNote: ah, a little dissapointed, as the archive manager does support rar after you install unrar, so i dunno...
[03:52] <Zaiden> Is it possible to change the X version of windows?
[03:52] <Foon1> I just downloaded matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0.tar.gz
[03:52] <hijjt> shark-1, good luck...
[03:52] <shark-1> hijjt, why?
[03:52] <Ademan> Zaiden: huh?
[03:52] <hijjt> shark-1, because it has thousands of domains and different ways to get to
[03:53] <budman> anyone here familer with the 915resolution fix?
[03:53] <Shaba1> Hey anyone have problems gettting Dapper to install on a computer with 256mb?
[03:53] <Foon1> erm, do I need something to open the file?
[03:53] <Ademan> budman: slightly, i had to use it in breezy, haven't needed it since
[03:53] <Foon1> I click Open, nothing happens
[03:53] <hijjt> Foon1, mgadrivers-2.0.tgz is probably going to work better for you
[03:53] <Zaiden> When I run the live CD and select the normal option to boot Ubuntu (Not Safe Graphics) I always get an error relating to the X version of windows.
[03:53] <shark-1> hijjt, i dont care about proxies and such i just want to block the site
[03:53] <Foon1> where's that, hijjt?
[03:54] <Ademan> Zaiden: you mean your X windows version
[03:54] <budman> Ademan: how did you load it on boot? Ive tried rc.local does not work. i have to boot in recovery mode and manuall type the 915 command and start gdm.
[03:54] <Zaiden> Yes
[03:54] <Ademan> budman: just to clarify (cause i never mucked with rc.local) we're talking about the lcd graphics fix right?
[03:55] <Ademan> i might be  confused though... lol
[03:55] <Foon1> hijjt: ?
[03:55] <budman> Ademan: correct for the wide screen resolution.
[03:55] <Foon1> where's the file you mentioned?
[03:55] <Ademan> budman: i specified it in my /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:55] <Shaba1> this is the fifth time and the third cd I am trying to get this to install on
[03:55] <hijjt> \http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/support/drivers/previous/prv_drv.cfm#Linux
[03:55] <hijjt> Foon1, under linux 2002
[03:55] <Foon1> k checking now, thanks
[03:56] <matthew1429> i keep getting x.org errors with the edgy install on my laptop (dell e1705) using the saffe graphics mode... will it be worth my time to do a text install?
[03:56] <Ademan> matthew1429: naw, fiesty's commin out soon
[03:56] <matthew1429> april 19th
[03:56] <matthew1429> can't wait that long
[03:56] <Ademan> hahah
[03:56] <budman> Ademan:  you loaded the 915resolution command in there?
[03:56] <jesusphreak> is there a way to completely reset my linux install without reformatting/reinstalling?
[03:56] <Shaba1> how does one do a text install??
[03:56] <Ademan> Shaba1: it's the "alternate install" cd
[03:56] <hijjt> shark-1, it is not that easy to block, you canuse your router but there are still really easy ways around it without using proxies
[03:57] <viator> reset?
[03:57] <Ademan> budman: so long as we're talking about the same thing, yep
[03:57] <Shaba1> ah so I would have to download an iso and burn it?
[03:57] <Ademan> Shaba1: yeah
[03:57] <matthew1429> lol
[03:57] <Shaba1> Ok I can do that
[03:57] <Foon1> got the file
[03:57] <Shaba1> Does it include grub
[03:57] <Shaba1> not grub
[03:57] <viator> well you can add a new user and delete your old user that might solve some problems
[03:57] <Shaba1> but ah gparted
[03:57] <bambie> guys i'm having trouble with burn ubuntu iso
[03:57] <Shaba1> that is the important part fo rme
[03:57] <harvey_> Just going to ask once again so I dont spam :).. I'm trying to rename a folder in Registry Editor and it wont do anything.  F2 and "Rename" wont let me rename it.  Advice?
[03:57] <viator> make sure nu user is admin
[03:57] <Ademan> Zaiden: well i reccomend either doing safe graphics mode OR once you see that error, hit enter until you get to a command prompt, and type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find where it says "Driver "SOMETHING"" and replace SOMETHING with vesa, then save and exit and type startx
[03:58] <Shaba1> being able to partion the window hd in my laptop
[03:58] <hijjt> Foon1, put it in a directory and run tar -xvzpf ?? archive name
[03:58] <jesusphreak> well what I really need to be able to do is revert some system updates
[03:58] <Foon1> k
[03:58] <Ademan> budman: lemme dig it up, there was an option i used that fixed my lcd problem at boot
[03:58] <Shaba1> and getting it back if I need to take ubuntu off
[03:58] <viator> well youd have to see what packages were updated and installed
[03:58] <bitwiseshiftleft> does anyone here know if it's possible to burn the install cd to flash, then install from flash
[03:59] <budman> Ademan: I  basicly just need to get this 915resolution command to run before gdm boots automaticaly.
[03:59] <Foon1> ./install.sh ?
[03:59] <Zaiden> Ademan: ok
[03:59] <Zaiden> Thank you
[03:59] <bitwiseshiftleft> because the machine i want to install on doesn't have a cd drive
[03:59] <throllz> hi, is there a better p2p than Frostwire? This one zucks big cock, can't dl nuthing
[03:59] <viator> maybe theres some sort of changelog
[03:59] <hijjt> Foon1, check for a readme
[03:59] <Foon1> already CAT'd it :)
[03:59] <matthew1429> so I'm getting from you guys that my only option for installing edgy on this laptop is to do alternate install
[03:59] <matthew1429> ??
[03:59] <throllz> AWAITNG FOR SOURCES and Waiting On Busy Hosts
[03:59] <matthew1429> why would dapper work and this one wouldnt
[03:59] <vvlaw> hi~anybody here?
[03:59] <matthew1429> weird
[04:00] <Shaba1> bitwiseshiftleft let me know if you get and answer
[04:00] <cables> Is there a graphical frontend for F@H (which displays progress and stuff)?
[04:00] <matthew1429> severed cross didnt have any problems either
[04:00] <CoryK> does anyone know if there are any packages for enlightenment beta anywhere?
[04:00] <Shaba1> I have a clean 512mb flash
[04:00] <hijjt> shark-1, use outbound packet filtering of the myspace ip addresses on your router, it is probably going to take a while because there are many
[04:00] <bjron> anyone know what the difference between "Free" space and "Available" space (as reported by df or the system monitor) is?
[04:00] <hijjt> Foon1, is there a configure script?
[04:00] <Shaba1> and a 1gb one I can clean off quickly
[04:00] <bitwiseshiftleft> matthew1429: have you tried feisty?  it's not much more edgy than edgy
[04:00] <Shaba1> I think my cd is th eproblem
[04:00] <matthew1429> lol
[04:00] <matthew1429> everyone says don't do it
[04:00] <Ademan> budman: it's possible we're not talking about the same thing but in my menu.lst i had vga=791   as a boot option
[04:00] <cables> bitwiseshiftleft, best not to recommend pre-release versions.
[04:01] <jmg> shark-1: install a proxy server and block it that way
[04:01] <Foon1> hijjt: ./install.sh ? :)
[04:01] <bitwiseshiftleft> cables: true
[04:01] <jmg> jmg: or dns poisoning
[04:01] <matthew1429> bitwiseshiftleft: everyone says it's not stable dont do it and that I wont be able to upgrade from it
[04:01] <hijjt> Foon1, go for it
[04:01] <jmg> shark-1: i mean
[04:01] <enderxim> I've been running feisty awhile now with not a single crash or bug found. I haven't had a single complaint, and I like alot about it.
[04:01] <Ademan> budman: iirc there are other vga=SomeOtherNumber   so 915 might be one of them, either that or i'm totally off...
[04:01] <bitwiseshiftleft> matthew1429: won't be able to upgrade?  to what?
[04:01] <Foon1> k
[04:01] <jmg> im waiting for feisty xubuntu
[04:01] <matthew1429> to the next distro etc
[04:01] <enderxim> matthew1429, I'm running that right now
[04:02] <bitwiseshiftleft> oh, yeah, i dunno
[04:02] <matthew1429> the "official" distro if there are changes
[04:02] <bitwiseshiftleft> i mean, feisty is working better than edgy on my desktop right now... but edgy always had its issues
[04:02] <bitwiseshiftleft> and i don't know about upgrading
[04:02] <Foon1> errr
[04:02] <enderxim> bitwiseshiftleft, I agree, I have less issues with feisty than I did with edgy
[04:02] <Foon1> it wants the full path to my X11R6 directory
[04:02] <throllz> FROSTWIRE sox cock, any better p2p programs?
[04:02] <Foon1> what is it?
[04:02] <bitwiseshiftleft> still, best to be careful... it is a beta
[04:02] <vvlaw> i got a problem when i complie the mplayer, who can help me ?
[04:02] <Ademan> vvlaw: don't compile mplayer?
[04:03] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | throllz
[04:03] <ubotu> throllz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:03] <enderxim> throllz, bit torrent
[04:03] <matthew1429> doesn't ubuntu have a little iso to d/l like 50 megs that gets everything from the net individually?
[04:03] <viator> feisty is 90% of what edgy should have been
[04:03] <diginet> Hi there :D
[04:03] <Ademan> vvlaw: but what exactly is the problem? (i sincerely reccomend you DON"T compile mplayer yourself)
[04:03] <enderxim> matthew1429, I think it's ubuntu minimal
[04:03] <Foon1> it wants the full path to my X11R6 directory, what is it?
[04:03] <Shaba1> any advise on a flash drive install?
[04:03] <vvlaw> Ademan icompiled mplayer already
[04:03] <Dave_O`Tool> I think that is pclos
[04:03] <Dave_O`Tool> I could be wrong
[04:03] <throllz> w00t? Isn't a cock a male chicken?
[04:04] <Ademan> vvlaw: why? is there anything wrong with the precompiled one?
[04:04] <con-man> !botabuse | ubotu
[04:04] <ubotu> ubotu: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[04:04] <hijjt> Foon1, probably /usr/X11R6
[04:04] <con-man> lolololol
[04:04] <Foon1> k
[04:04] <hijjt> Foon1, I am used to gentoo though
[04:04] <Crazytom> how do you abuse a bot?
[04:04] <con-man> uh oh
[04:05] <Dave_O`Tool> !bot
[04:05] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[04:05] <con-man> phew
[04:05] <Foon1> you were right
[04:05] <Foon1> :)
[04:05] <vvlaw> Ademan: yes, compiled it.and worked fine,but there are no "xv" option in the output selection :(
[04:05] <viator> the onl problem i have with fiesty is my cursor bounces all over the place
[04:05] <viator> its got a mind of its own
[04:05] <bigdawg72989> How can I look up what video card driver I have and whether it is updated or not?
[04:05] <viator> its a synaptic touchpad
[04:05] <Ademan> vvlaw: what's wrong with the precompiled version that comes with ubuntu though?
[04:05] <Foon1> err
[04:05] <Ademan> bigdawg72989: i think it depends on your graphics card vendor
[04:06] <Foon1> it says all my drivers are up to date
[04:06] <bigdawg72989> If it helps i have an ATI mobility radeon x300
[04:06] <hiffy> whats that offtopic channel anyways? I want to make some non ubuntu related venting
[04:06] <Ademan> bigdawg72989: which driver set are you using? open source? fglrx? or what?
[04:06] <Jordan_U_> hiffy, #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:06] <hijjt> Foon1, check what driver it is using in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:06] <Foon1> k
[04:07] <bigdawg72989> well i used a program called envy i think but I dont think it worked right.  I was wondering if there is a way to look up what I am using
[04:07] <draeath> Is it possible to 'blacklist' certain kernels from being added to grub/menu.lst automatically?
[04:07] <Foon1> what line in the file?
[04:07] <yell0w> draeath, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:07] <nexes> Debian's auto-magic app has problems.
[04:07] <_seanc_> Quick question, I changed my resolution and whenever I turn on my ubuntu box my monitor says "the resolution is to large, please resize and try again", how do I do that through command line?
[04:07] <hiffy> danke Jordan_U_
[04:08] <hijjt> Foon1, should be under section display
[04:08] <draeath> yell0w: read my message... kernels not modules
[04:08] <yell0w> draeath, oh, wrong one
[04:08] <hijjt> Foon1, there is a line with Driver in it
[04:08] <draeath> yell0w: :D i know that one
[04:08] <yell0w> draeath, probably comment out the items on the list then
[04:08] <vvlaw> Ademan: i can player tha avi files well,but i can only basic on "x11" output ~
[04:08] <yell0w> draeath, why would you do that though ? @_@
[04:08] <Foon1> monistor says Generic DPMS Monitor
[04:09] <hijjt> Foon1, the monitor is probably cool
[04:09] <Foon1> it says it is using the mga driver for Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200 AGP
[04:09] <Foon1> :S
[04:09] <jmg> hello
[04:09] <Crazytom> anyone here ever use an ipod with ubuntu?
[04:09] <Foon1> but I saw no flicker or anything of the screen readjusting
[04:09] <hijjt> Foon1, what is the goal here?
[04:09] <wilo> is there a way to hide hdd and flash drives from comming up as icons on your desktop in ubunt?
[04:09] <h1st0> Someone just made over 6500 attempts at hacking my server.
[04:09] <wilo> Ubuntu*
[04:09] <Foon1> if I switch back to the old screen now, it'll probably still not display properly
[04:09] <pppoe_dude> wilo, yes
[04:10] <Foon1> to have my old screen (an AOC spectrum) display properly
[04:10] <wilo> h1st0: brute force?
[04:10] <wilo> pppoe_dude: how?
[04:10] <pppoe_dude> wilo, gconf-editor, then search for 'nautilus desktop' in keys
[04:10] <draeath> yell0w: well, i have backtrack2 loading from an ISO as a grub boot option... but whenever apt updates my kernel the updater script spams my menu.lst with "Ubuntu, Backtrack (recovery)" which don't work (because im loading an .iso as a ramdisk)
[04:10] <pppoe_dude> wilo, you should find one that says 'show mounted volumes'... just uncheck it
[04:10] <hijjt> Foon1, alright you need to setup the horiz-sync and vert-refresh of the monitor in that same file under monitor
[04:11] <draeath> yell0w: which is also funny because backtrack is Slackware :P
[04:11] <matthew1429> !text install
[04:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about text install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:11] <yell0w> draeath, heh
[04:11] <vvlaw> Ademan, i mean that i want to let mplayer can be support the "xv" output,but it can't :(
[04:11] <hijjt> Foon1, HorizSync 30-75
[04:11] <matthew1429> I had downloaded a text install version earlier and now can't find it :(
[04:11] <hijjt> Foon1, VertRefresh 50-85
[04:11] <yell0w> draeath, but still that doesn't prevent you from booting out of what you want right ?
[04:11] <Foon1> ok
[04:11] <hijjt> Foon1 is what mine has right now
[04:11] <pppoe_dude> wilo, /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible
[04:11] <yell0w> draeath, or into what you want, rather ;)
[04:12] <Foon1> oh, but yours is a decent screen I assume :S
[04:12] <hijjt> Foon1, look up the monitor specs before you run x again
[04:12] <Foon1> mine's older
[04:12] <Ademan> vvlaw: i don't understand what compelled you to compile mplayer though
[04:12] <bigdawg72989> I have an ATI card, my xorg.conf file says Section "Device"
[04:12] <bigdawg72989> 	Identifier  "ATI Technologies, Inc. M22 [Radeon Mobility M300] "
[04:12] <bigdawg72989> 	Driver      "ati" Is there any way to look up whether this is updated or not?
[04:12] <Foon1> yea
[04:12] <hijjt> Foon1, mine is an old 17 in dell right now
[04:12] <Foon1> if I restart, it won't go straight into X will it?
[04:12] <draeath> yell0w: right... it does give me bootable kernels and my staticly defined stanza for backtrack too...
[04:12] <draeath> yell0w: its just an annoyane
[04:12] <wilo> pppoe_dude: thankyou
[04:12] <vvlaw> Ademan, complied mplayer through the sources,not by the apt-get way
[04:12] <wilo> it worked :)
[04:13] <pppoe_dude> wilo, yep
[04:13] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, xserver-xorg-driver-ati
[04:13] <yell0w> draeath, ssshhhhh, how many times a months is a kernel update dued ?
[04:13] <Ademan> vvlaw: yes, but why?
[04:13] <bruenig> what command can I use to tell me the number of lines of a text file
[04:13] <draeath> yell0w: I KNOW! just put the kernels in a subdirectory of /boot
[04:13] <yell0w> tsk tsk whiner ;(
[04:13] <hijjt> Foon1, maybe?
[04:13] <Foon1> ?
[04:13] <draeath> yell0w: or even in a different directory (the iso is loaded from outside of /boot)
[04:13] <Arroll> does anyone know where I can find the correct drivers for my nvidia 7600 GS card that i can install Beryl with AIGLX?
[04:13] <Foon1> what syncs would I set to make it (temporarily, at least) 60Hz?
[04:13] <Crazytom> what is easier to use banshee amarok or gtkpod?
[04:13] <hijjt> Foon1, what monitor is it?
[04:13] <Ademan> Arroll: nvidia's website
[04:14] <hijjt> Foon1, brand and model?
[04:14] <vvlaw> Ademan: is the have the "xv" selection support in your mplayer ? i don't have it
[04:14] <delirus> Crazytom:  All a matter of opinion, I prefer Amarok
[04:14] <Foon1> AOC Spectrum, hang on for the model
[04:14] <yotux> is there any docs for feisty yet?
[04:14] <Foon1> 4N
[04:14] <bigdawg72989> hijjt: I dont understand what you are asking?
[04:14] <bigdawg72989> Im a little new to all this
[04:14] <Ademan> Arroll: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html   if you're on a 32 bit system
[04:14] <Crazytom> delirus, why is that is it better or easier to install?
[04:15] <delirus> Crazytom:  My opinion:  it's the least annoying
[04:15] <jmg> they are all easy, apt-get install
[04:15] <Ademan> vvlaw: oh so the version that came with ubuntu didn't have the xv?
[04:15] <Crazytom> ok
[04:15] <jmg> i found amarok too bloated
[04:15] <Arroll> thanks!
[04:15] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, that is the display driver that is installed right now and it is using, do sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-driver-ati
[04:15] <jmg> i use beep
[04:15] <Ademan> Arroll: beware, it's a pain in the butt
[04:15] <delirus> Crazytom:  As a rule, no one ever shares my opinions :D
[04:15] <Arroll> oh ya?   how so?
[04:15] <draeath> in grub, hda5 is (hd0,4) correct?
[04:15] <hijjt> Foon1, ok HorizSync 30-50
[04:15] <Ademan> Arroll: you might consider googling a tutorial, i can explain the steps if you'd like though
[04:16] <yell0w> draeath, yes
[04:16] <ardchoille> draeath: Yes
[04:16] <hijjt> Foon1, VertRefresh 50-90
[04:16] <Crazytom> i just don't want to have to mess with it too much, i just want to get away from using xp for everything
[04:16] <Foon1> k, I'll put that in, thanks hijjt :)
[04:16] <alamo> Arroll: you can use vesa module with the glx i think
[04:16] <Ademan> vvlaw: yes i have the xv output in my mplayer, and i didn't compile anything myself
[04:16] <hijjt> Foon1, you may need to put some resolution lines in the screen section
[04:16] <Foon1> there are already some there I think..I'll check
[04:17] <vvlaw> Ademan, i see . you got it throught the apt-get install way?
[04:17] <Arroll> i found a guide on beryls website.   it give step by step instructions for the install but it says nvidia cards requre the non-free drivers to be installed.    was just wondering what that means and which drivers I need?
[04:17] <Foon1> yea there are
[04:17] <Ademan> alamo: use vesa drivers and AIGLX? ...no...
[04:17] <hase> I've just about given up on ever seeing "Direct Rendering: Yes"
[04:17] <Ademan> vvlaw: yep
[04:17] <Ademan> hase: ATI?
[04:17] <hijjt> Foon1, a line like Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[04:17] <hijjt> Foon1, ok
[04:17] <alamo> Arroll: and get the 100 refresh rate on the vesa
[04:17] <Jordan_U_> hase, What card?
[04:17] <bigdawg72989> I ran that and it said no candidate version, no packages to install...Does that mean my driver is up to date?
[04:17] <Jordan_U_> hase, And running Edgy or dapper?
[04:18] <hase> Nvidia geforce go 6600tn/6200tn
[04:18] <Ademan> matthew1429: they're the "alternate install cd" ISOs on the main ubuntu website
[04:18] <Arroll> ok so am i looking for the drivers on nvidias site, or these vesa drivers?
[04:18] <hase> edgy
[04:18] <drcode> hi all
[04:18] <Ademan> hase: what exactly is the problem?
[04:18] <alamo> Ademan: he has a nvidia card...
[04:18] <drcode> I have bout new laptop 64bit
[04:18] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, ubuntu upgrades automatically, with sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:18] <Foon1> hijjt: yea
[04:18] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, and the visual utilities do the same thing
[04:18] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, I would try the drivers from the repos before the ones on Nvida's site
[04:18] <h1st0> matthew1429: yeah the alternate iso
[04:18] <happy_nic> can anyone connect to windows ftp servers using curlftpfs?
[04:18] <Ademan> alamo: yeah? so? vesa doesn't have anything for 3d acceleration, let alone AIGLX
[04:18] <draeath> I love backtrack
[04:18] <h1st0> matthew1429: or you can use the netinstall.
[04:18] <hijjt> Foon1, did those work?
[04:18] <bitwiseshiftleft> anyone here know how to install ubuntu from flash?
[04:19] <jmg> happy_nic: yes
[04:19] <alamo> Ademan: hehe
[04:19] <bitwiseshiftleft> possibly with network?
[04:19] <Foon1> hang on
[04:19] <hijjt> happy_nic, what is a windows ftp server?
[04:19] <drcode> what pepole recommnded to install ubuntu 64bit or 32bit?
[04:19] <bigdawg72989> ok thanks....Its just wine keeps crashing my pc and the wine people think its a video card issue.
[04:19] <Jordan_U_> !install | bitwiseshiftleft
[04:19] <ubotu> bitwiseshiftleft: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[04:19] <Foon1> gotta put the sync stuff in first
[04:19] <alamo> Ademan: that's i wanna say...
[04:19] <ziggy> quit
[04:19] <vvlaw> Ademan: in my memory,i apt-get install it at first. and it maybe have the 'xv' optition in it.but after that i reinstall it through the sources. but it have no xv selection after i compiled it :(
[04:19] <Arroll> Jordan_U_: the guide here says the defauld "nv" drivers does not work
[04:19] <h1st0> drcode: I would install 32bit so that everything just works.  Unless you really need the speed.
[04:19] <drcode> k
[04:19] <Ademan> hase: what exactly seems to be the problem?
[04:19] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, try to install the fglrx driver for your video card, it should make it more stable for wine
[04:19] <drcode> there are poblem with 64bit ?
[04:19] <Ademan> and what have you done so far?
[04:19] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, There are nvida drivers in the repos, not just nv
[04:20] <muszek> hi... which runlevel is a default one?
[04:20] <Arroll> Jordan_U_: ok ill check that
[04:20] <Shaba1> this cd take foreever just to boot up
[04:20] <Jordan_U_> !nvidia | Arroll
[04:20] <ubotu> Arroll: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:20] <Ademan> Jordan_U_: he want's to do AIGLX
[04:20] <drcode> most linux packges are for 64bit?
[04:20] <Arroll> ubotu: thanks
[04:20] <bigdawg72989> Ok could I get a little guidance for that?
[04:20] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:20] <Ademan> the versions in the repositories are hopelessly outdated
[04:20] <hase> Ademan: I installed the nvidia drivers (first manually then with envy) and I still don't have direct rendering when I do glxinfo
[04:20] <Jordan_U_> Ademan, Ahh, didn't realise, never mind Arroll
[04:20] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:20] <Arroll> ubotu: will this driver support Beryl in AIGLX?
[04:20] <wilo> is there a way to make a system directory to a virtual drive?
[04:20] <Ademan> Arroll: that link about the BinaryDriverHowTo is still very relevant and helpful
[04:20] <bigdawg72989> great  thanks
[04:21] <alphab8> hi
[04:21] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, it should give it to you step by step
[04:21] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, The ones from the Repos won't work with AIGLX
[04:21] <Ademan> Arroll:  ubotu is our bot :-)    !Whatever will make ubotu spit out information about Whatever :-)
[04:21] <alphab8> I need some help with accesing the internet with ubutu
[04:21] <draeath> Anyone know how I can track down (and report useful information about) the cause of this issue: when using snd-usb-audio together with the proprietary nvidia drivers in fullscreen, every 1/4 second there is a 1/4 of silence.... like the sound is underrunning
[04:21] <alphab8> ?
[04:21] <hijjt> bigdawg72989, under the ati section
[04:21] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, Ubuntu is just a bot, I told ubotu to give that link because I didn't know you wanted AIGLX
[04:21] <Ademan> hase: envy ruined one system of mine, i'm a bit weary of it, but you can boot into a GUI right?
[04:21] <emet> !beryl
[04:21] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:21] <Foon1> grr
[04:21] <alamo> in my case, vesa+glx = one of ten nvidia+glx
[04:22] <alphab8> anyone care to help?
[04:22] <Foon1> vi won't let me type in numbers
[04:22] <Ademan> Jordan_U_: i'm pretty sure the BinaryDriverHowto describes a way to do the newer versions of the drivers
[04:22] <hase> Ademan: Yes, luckily, after I didn't the manual install I couldn't
[04:22] <hijjt> Foon1, ...  i would generally recommend using nano as a quick editor
[04:22] <happy_nic> actually I can connect to this windows server via curlftpfs. I just can't do anything after connecting. an ls will give me an io error.. I can mount all my unix ftp servers perfectly..
[04:22] <bratman> !source.list
[04:22] <Arroll> Jordan_U_: well i understand you can install Beryl with either XGL or AIGLX.   what exactly is the difference and which is easier to install??
[04:22] <bratman> !find source.list
[04:22] <bigdawg72989> ok thanks
[04:22] <Ademan> Foon1 are you familiar with vi? because vi can be very confusing for a first timer
[04:23] <bratman> where are dappers repositories ?
[04:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:23] <ubotu> Package/file source.list does not exist in edgy
[04:23] <alphab8> I can't seem to get my ubutu to access the internet
[04:23] <Foon1> Ademan: quite
[04:23] <Ademan> Foon1: just checking :-)
[04:23] <hijjt> Arroll, aiglx is built into feisty
[04:23] <coffee-mug> is there a  package for bleeding edge gnus somewhere?
[04:23] <Foon1> but for some reason, I type i and try to enter numbers, it doesn't work
[04:23] <Ademan> Foon1: the whole concept of "insert mode" put me off for an entire month :-)
[04:23] <Foon1> but I loaded the file with sudo..
[04:23] <Foon1> heheh
[04:23] <Foon1> I jumped right in
[04:24] <dyrne> alphab8: wire or wireless?
[04:24] <alphab8> wired
[04:24] <Johno> is it hard to do dial up through ubuntu?
[04:24] <Foon1> that'll put an end to it
[04:24] <draeath> Foon1: vim is supirior :P
[04:24] <Ademan> anyways, the only things i can think of that might help would be checking numlock i guess
[04:24] <xSpecialistx> hello all
[04:24] <alphab8> its harware wired
[04:24] <bratman> !find repositories
[04:24] <alphab8> DSL
[04:24] <Ademan> draeath: i'm pretty sure in ubuntu vi is just a symlink to vim :-)
[04:24] <Foon1> emacs ftw! (heh) I don't use it much
[04:24] <ubotu> File repositories found in r-base-core, ubuntu-docs
[04:24] <Foon1> no no, Microsoft Word is best
[04:24] <bratman> !find source
[04:24] <hijjt> Foon1, ohh man noone likes nano
[04:24] <ubotu> Found: bf-utf-source, gcc-4.1-source, kdepim-kresources, libgtksourceview-common, libgtksourceview-dev (and 129 others)
[04:24] <dyrne> alphab8: open a terminal and type 'cat /etc/iftab' what interfaces show up eth0 ? eth1?
[04:24] <Arroll> hijjt: but im running Edgy
[04:24] <Foon1> edit the snot out of those text files
[04:24] <bratman> !find source.list
[04:25] <ubotu> Package/file source.list does not exist in edgy
[04:25] <xSpecialistx> i have problem with my 3d video card, is ATI  RADEON XpRESS 1100,
[04:25] <draeath> I need to get off my butt and add "set nowrap" in my .vimrc
[04:25] <hijjt> Arroll, xgl is a different Xserver, aiglx is the xorg way of doing it
[04:25] <Foon1> hijjt: heheh
[04:25] <happy_nic> ubuntu vi uses some package called vi-minimal by default. it's awfully limited
[04:25] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, And XGl is buggy and generally considered a hack
[04:25] <bratman> !bratman source.list
[04:26] <matthew1429> so the alternate install cd (600 megabytes) should help me get around my x.org crashes when installing ubuntu on my dell inspiron 9400/e1705?
[04:26] <Foon1> happy_nic: built in lack of support for typing numbers?
[04:26] <happy_nic> no wait, that's vim-tiny
[04:26] <draeath> Am I the only one who thinks grub should be automatically set up with an md5-ed password on install?
[04:26] <hijjt> Arroll, I recommend going with aiglx
[04:26] <Arroll> Jordan_U_: ok so AIGLX is the way i want to go then right
[04:26] <alphab8> ok
[04:26] <bratman> !find upgrade from dapper to edgy
[04:26] <ubotu> Found: unattended-upgrades, upgrade-system, update-notifier
[04:26] <hijjt> Arroll, i think it's long term support is going to be better
[04:26] <Zaiden> Ademan: i was able to get to the command prompt and did the sudo nano command for xorg.conf, but there was nothing written in the file.
[04:26] <Jordan_U_> Arroll, Yup
[04:26] <alphab8> I typed it in and it doen't say either
[04:26] <Arroll> hijjt: and repo drivers will be suffecient for the AIGLX then?
[04:27] <dyrne> alphab8: try 'ifconfig -a'
[04:27] <happy_nic> Foon1: I can't remember, I got so frustrated using it, i immediately install a proper vim on every fresh install now.
[04:27] <Jordan_U_> Zaiden, Did you get the path correct?
[04:27] <Foon1> hehe
[04:27] <hijjt> Arroll, yeah, it seemed to run well on my brothers ati mobility m1 on an 1800+ with ati repo drivers
[04:27] <alphab8> says " ok
[04:27] <Zaiden> Jordan: I did. sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[04:27] <Jordan_U_> Zaiden, /etc/X11   ( capital "X" ) /xorg.conf
[04:27] <alphab8> I typyed in ifconfig
[04:28] <alphab8> and it give me eth0
[04:28] <Arroll> hijjt: but i am running an nvidia card.   7600 GS
[04:28] <Shaba1> !ubunto alternate cd
[04:28] <Ademan> Zaiden: everything is case sensitive, X is different than x
[04:28] <alphab8> is there something specific i should be looking at?
[04:28] <bratman> !find dapper
[04:28] <Ademan> kind of disorienting for windows converts, but it makes sense
[04:28] <Zaiden> Oh...
[04:28] <ubotu> File dapper found in debootstrap
[04:28] <Zaiden> I feel sily
[04:28] <Zaiden> silly*
[04:28] <Ademan> Zaiden: no worries, i'm a regular here, it happens all the time
[04:28] <hijjt> Arrol, I would imagine that it would work well enough
[04:29] <Zaiden> Will there be an option on the screen that tells me how to save?
[04:29] <dyrne> alphab8: ok so first lets try to obtain an address via dhcp.  'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' to bring the interface up then 'dhclient eth0' does it assign an ip or just keep waiting for an offer
[04:29] <arpegius> anyone here get coldfusion installed on their ubuntu box?
[04:29] <bratman> where is the file to change the mentioned dapper to edgy for upgrade ?
[04:29] <Jordan_U_> Zaiden, Just hit ctrl+x to quit and it will ask you if you want to save before quitting
[04:29] <jesusphreak> how do I check my kernel version?
[04:29] <arpegius> i'm pulling an error: /tmp/install.dir.5615/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found
[04:29] <hijjt> jesusphreak, uname -a
[04:29] <Foon1> I've updated xorg.conf
[04:29] <Foon1> now what?
[04:30] <Zaiden> Ok. Thank you, and be right back again
[04:30] <hijjt> Foon1, restart the xserver
[04:30] <Foon1> how?
[04:30] <fatlip> heyo
[04:30] <hijjt> Foon1, the save way?
[04:30] <fatlip> superquick question
[04:30] <Foon1> which is..?
[04:30] <fatlip> how do i claim ownership over an entire partition?
[04:30] <hijjt> Foon1, logout
[04:30] <jesusphreak> okay, so how do I get my machine to use an older kernel?
[04:30] <alphab8> I type  'sudo ifconfig eth0" and it displays nothing
[04:30] <Foon1> oh, ok
[04:30] <Foon1> brb then
[04:30] <MajorPayne> I have a button that launches sudo -i in a terminal to get a super user terminal.  Is there a better way to do that, maybe something that lets me launch GUI applications as root if it is safe to do so?
[04:30] <alphab8> I type  'sudo ifconfig eth0" and it displays nothing
[04:30] <hijjt> Foon1, and hit ctrl alt backspace at the login screen
[04:31] <dyrne> alphab8: 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up'
[04:31] <Foon1> login screen?
[04:31] <bratman> what is the name of the repositories file that i change the dapper refernces to , to edgy for upgrade ?
[04:31] <dyrne> alphab8: it wont display anything
[04:31] <Foon1> theoretically, it should be the bash prompt login
[04:31] <dyrne> alphab8: after that 'dhclient eth0'
[04:31] <echoes> hi
[04:31] <hijjt> Foon1, fair enough, then just logout
[04:31] <Foon1> because I didn't install anything beyond fluxbox and its prerequisits
[04:31] <dyrne> alphab8: soory use sudo like 'sudo dhclient eth0'
[04:31] <Foon1> ok
[04:31] <Jordan_U> bratman, Don't upgrade like that!
[04:31] <hijjt> Foon1, or hit ctrl alt backspace
[04:31] <Foon1> brb
[04:32] <Foon1> now?
[04:32] <hijjt> Foon1, exit fluxbox
[04:32] <Foon1> ok
[04:32] <laptop> Which is better KDE or GNOME?
[04:32] <Jordan_U> bratman, It will likely break your system if you do!
[04:32] <laptop> for Ubunut?
[04:32] <laptop> Ubuntu?
[04:32] <Foon1> brb :)
[04:32] <hijjt> laptop, both
[04:32] <alphab8> ok
[04:32] <bratman> nope i've done it before
[04:32] <KromiX> wow
[04:32] <bratman> just forgot hte name of it
[04:32] <Foon1> I'll still be here as Foon, heh,...but anyway, brb
[04:32] <Shaba1> OK this time the install icon did not even show up
[04:32] <alphab8> i tyed them both
[04:32] <KromiX> My 3 days with Ubuntu and....... what have i been doing on Windows, I love you guys.
[04:32] <alphab8> *typed
[04:32] <laptop> So did I, i encountered more problems with KDE
[04:32] <dyrne> laptop: kde is better as far as technically but i guess gnome for idealistic reasons
[04:32] <KromiX> My First* 3 days
[04:33] <ardchoille> MajorPayne: use gksudo. gksudo nautilus
[04:33] <Jordan_U> bratman, NO, DO NOT DO IT ( seriously, this is a known problem, trust me )
[04:33] <laptop> technically?
[04:33] <buyandcry> by
[04:33] <Shaba1> laptop
[04:33] <bratman> well how else do i keep my stuff with all these updates?

[04:33] <buyandcry> hi
[04:33] <Shaba1> do you know if ubuntu can be installed on a 256 mb laptop
[04:33] <crdlb> !upgrade| bratman
[04:33] <ubotu> bratman: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:34] <Shaba1> because I am having serious problems
[04:34] <laptop> Nope
[04:34] <alphab8> thee's nothing displaying?
[04:34] <laptop> takes more space than that
[04:34] <dyrne> Shaba1: xubuntu will run fine on 256mb ram
[04:34] <hijjt> laptoplaptop, I think kde runs quicker, and lets you access more features and customization
[04:34] <Jordan_U> bratman, You don't need to
[04:34] <ardchoille> bratman: If you upgrade like that, you'll just end up re-installing Ubuntu
[04:34] <buyandcry> http://rafb.net/p/AnxEP921.html
[04:34] <ardchoille> !upgrade
[04:34] <laptop> hrm
[04:34] <hijjt> laptop, gnome is more simplistic
[04:34] <KromiX> whats the 'best' or most current/used "Desklet/Widget" application?
[04:35] <KromiX> for ubuntu
[04:35] <dyrne> alphab8: if you type 'sudo dhclient eth0' it will prompt for a password then it will display some stuff
[04:35] <jmg> clock?

[04:37] <h1st0> alphab8: what type of network are you tyring to connect to?
[04:37] <tritium> MajorPayne: there's a gconf setting.  You can set that in the nautilus preferences
[04:37] <ardchoille> MajorPayne: gconf-editor, go to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck the items you don't want.
[04:37] <jmg> !lol

[04:40] <hijjt> Foon, that is kinda sweet
[04:40] <admin__> How do I get to the desktop in Terminal?
[04:40] <Foon> Foon: how so?!
[04:40] <alphab8> Ubuntu 6.06
[04:40] <tritium> admin__: cd ~/Desktop
[04:40] <Frog292> wow... i looked for that for so long
[04:40] <Frog292> thanks if it works
[04:40] <laptop> If I dont like GNOME or KDE what else is there?
[04:40] <Foon> err, hijjt
[04:40] <alphab8> I should also mention....I installed the ethernet card after I installed Ubuntu
[04:40] <Shaba1> so what is the differnce between the two?
[04:41] <hijjt> Foon, goodness, well those are the values the manufacturer gives for it
[04:41] <ddonky> crdlb - thanks
[04:41] <dyrne> laptop: xubuntu is xfce  its a full desktop environment without the bloat. uses gtk like gnome
[04:41] <alphab8> so would that be a problem?
[04:41] <ardchoille> laptop: There are quite a number: http://xwinman.org/
[04:41] <admin__> ok, thanks. What is the "~" for?
[04:41] <Foon> :S
[04:41] <ardchoille> admin__: ~ means your $HOME
[04:41] <dyrne> laptop: i mean xfce itself isnt a de but.. you understand
[04:41] <MrXclusiv> my problem shouldnt exist - i am booting with the livecd, and it wont web browse, yet from terminal it pings localhost and pings google and pings winamp, yet firefox will not open a webpage
[04:41] <tritium> precisely
[04:41] <Foon> any specific depth or resolution along with those?
[04:41] <admin__> ok
[04:41] <alphab8> well?
[04:41] <hijjt> Foon, you can remove the horizsync and vertrefresh lines and get it to work on the other monitor again Max Resolution:    	    1024 x 768
[04:42] <hijjt> is the only thing it gives
[04:42] <kitche> dyrne: don't know but last tiem I checked xfce is a de
[04:42] <Foon> yea
[04:42] <Foon> :S
[04:42] <ardchoille> kitche: It is
[04:42] <Johno> how do I set up ubuntu for dial up?
[04:42] <ddonky> anyone want to a buy a new 512mb 1st gen. ipod shuffle?
[04:42] <kitche> ardchoille: I know was telling dyrne that it was one :)
[04:42] <tritium> ddonky: please don't advertise here
[04:42] <Foon> what about removing the references to 1024x768 to force it down to 800x600, say?
[04:42] <hijjt> Foon, and i am certain the g200 can handle that, I had one,,,
[04:42] <ant-> !modem | Johno
[04:42] <ddonky> sorry
[04:43] <Foon> yeah
[04:43] <ubotu> Johno: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[04:43] <hijjt> Foon, what does it look like on the screen?
[04:43] <MrXclusiv> my problem shouldnt exist - i am booting with the livecd, and it wont web browse, yet from terminal it pings localhost and pings google and pings winamp, yet firefox will not open a webpage
[04:43] <Zaiden> Changing the driver to vesa brought up a different error.
[04:43] <Foon> at depth 16 the screen only "repeats" (you know what I mean) about 4 times
[04:43] <Foon> at 8 and 24 it's just a complete mess
[04:44] <ardchoille> Foon: Did you try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:44] <alphab8> so any ideas?
[04:44] <kitche> MrXclusiv: you sure about that but anyways !ipv6 will help you out
[04:44] <Foon> nope
[04:44] <Foon> what does that do?
[04:44] <Tallen> anyone know where to get Mono Develop 0.13.1 for Ubuntu?
[04:44] <ardchoille> Foon: Recnfigures x, you can add/delete resolutions and all kinds of neat stuff.
[04:44] <tritium> Foon: you're trying to force a lower resolution?  Did you try through System->Preferences->Screen Resolution?
[04:44] <pchung83> hello everyone :)
[04:44] <hijjt> Foon, it will reconfigure your xorg.conf by the Xserver
[04:45] <Foon> tritium: lamp server, I'm not using a desktop, just a window manager
[04:45] <tritium> Foon: okay
[04:45] <alphab8> any ideas ardchollie?
[04:45] <Foon> ardchoille: oh, does it let me test out resolutions (y'know, timed like in Windows)?
[04:45] <Frog292> Hello, i'm back, following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades did not work for upgrading ubuntu... it still says it cant find freecontrib
[04:45] <hijjt> Foon, fair enough, you can delete the 1024x768 at the begining of the lines
[04:45] <hijjt> Foon, it will default to the next highest one then
[04:45] <Foon> yah
[04:45] <Foon> k
[04:46] <linxeh> whats a good graphical ftp client ?
[04:46] <ardchoille> alphab8: About what?
[04:46] <pchung83> can anyone direct to a newbie guide to ubuntu?
[04:46] <Foon> I know it should work for 1024x768 as well, it worked for me for years too (and with some headaching, under Fedora Core 4 as well)
[04:46] <alphab8> I'm running Ubutu 6.06 fresh install
[04:46] <linxeh> pchung83: www.ubuntuguide.org - or the one on the ubuntu.com wiki
[04:46] <ant-> pchung83 : the help file that comes with it.
[04:46] <alphab8> and I can't connect to the internet
[04:46] <pchung83> thanks
[04:46] <Foon> but meh, I figure, a low resolution is better than no resolution, for starters
[04:46] <pchung83> where is the help file that comes with it?
[04:46] <alphab8> Its ahrware and its wired DSL
[04:46] <Johno> ant: That didnot answer all of my questions
[04:47] <tritium> pchung83: System->Help and Support
[04:47] <ant-> Johno : oh
[04:47] <pchung83> alright thanks tritium
[04:47] <Foon> I'll switch the keyboard over to the other computer and test out the reconfigure thing, brb
[04:47] <ardchoille> alphab8: I don't have any idea, but others might
[04:47] <alphab8> *hardware
[04:47] <alphab8> o ok
[04:47] <alphab8> I'm trying to google solutions but don't know where to start
[04:47] <Frog292> Hello, i'm back, following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades did not work for upgrading ubuntu... it still says it cant find freecontrib
[04:47] <alphab8> cuz i'm totally new to Ubuntu
[04:48] <dan_y> it's possbile to play some games like Quake3 with an onboard graphic card?
[04:48] <MrXclusiv> my problem shouldnt exist - i am booting with the livecd, and it wont web browse, yet from terminal it pings localhost and pings google and pings winamp, yet firefox will not open a webpage
[04:48] <tritium> Frog292: freecontrib?  That's not mentioned in the upgrade instructions.
[04:49] <Frog292> im running the ditribution ulgrade.. and it gets stuck at fetching file 39 of39 and evnetually says it cant connet to freecontrib
[04:49] <ardchoille> Frog292: I told yo that freecontrib doesn't have an Ubuntu repo right now.
[04:49] <Frog292> but i'm following the official instructions...
[04:49] <ardchoille> Frog292: They are in the process of turning it over to new management, but it doesn't work right now.
[04:50] <Frog292> and they keep on leading my to the same distribution upgrade, and that says it can't
[04:50] <tritium> Frog292: freecontrib.org repositories are not official.
[04:50] <happy_nic> Frog292: this probably isn't what you want to hear, but my suggestion is to always do a clean install. I keep a separate partition with all my important media and documents and copies of some configuration files. This way I can always just fry the core os partition whenever I need.
[04:50] <ardchoille> Frog292: You might as well comment out the freecontrib repos for now.
[04:50] <Frog292> full erro: ""
[04:50] <Frog292> Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/plf/dists/dapper/Release.gpg Could not connect to packages.freecontrib.org:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>), connection timed out
[04:50] <ardchoille> Frog292: Do you have me on ignore?
[04:51] <Frog292> i know
[04:51] <tritium> Frog292: again, easyubuntu repos are not official.  Further, they ar enow using medibuntu repos.  See their website.  This is the source of your problem.
[04:51] <Frog292> it's just that i'm new and i don't know how to comment it out
[04:51] <Frog292> but...but... all i'm trying to do is upgrade, nothing else
[04:51] <Arroll> ok i have now just installed the nvidia-glx drivers from the repositories.    is the only driver i need to run beryl with AIGLX?
[04:52] <ardchoille> Frog292: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file and I'll help with that
[04:52] <Frog292> the upgrade method on the ubuntu site leds me to this error
[04:52] <ardchoille> !paste
[04:52] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:52] <Arroll> and is that the correct driver?
[04:52] <Frog292> ok
[04:52] <tritium> Frog292: because you're using unofficial repos that currently have a problem

Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[04:58] <Frog292> and to not lose my boot menue's or partitions?
[04:59] <Foon> errr
[04:59] <ardchoille> Frog292: You can download the Edgy cd and install that. Then upgrade to Fesity when it comes out.
[04:59] <Ademan> Zaiden: interesting... can you tell us what/s in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:59] <Foon> dpkg-reconfigure says xserver-org doesn't exist
[04:59] <Pelo> Frog292,  clean install from cd , back up your /home folder first,  you can restore it afterwards and get all your customisation and settings back
[04:59] <Foon> but aptitude says it does
[04:59] <Foon> 0.o
[04:59] <Shrimpy_> i was wondering if any one has used ettercap on ubuntu?
[04:59] <Foon> (aptitude says its installed)
[04:59] <Frog292> so if i upgrade to 6.1 using the cd i won't lose my boot menu?
[04:59] <ryanakca> how do I reset /etc/motd to the ubuntu default?
[04:59] <Johno> pelo: ok I got it there but how do I connect?
[05:00] <ardchoille> Foon: xserver-org doesn't exist, but xserver-xorg does
[05:00] <Foon> oops, maybe it was a typo, I'll try again, brb
[05:00] <Zaiden> Ademan: Yeah, I'll go back and check.

[05:01] <Pelo> Johno,  ,  ok much better info , we're getting there
[05:01] <ardchoille> Frog292: If you want to preserve your boot menu, copy the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to a usb key or burn it to cd or something, it's really easy to restore it later.
[05:01] <Johno> Pelo: what?
[05:01] <Frog292> if i install 6.10 from the cd and back up my home dir, will i lose my GRUB settings?
[05:02] <Frog292> oh
[05:02] <MrXclusiv> thankyou whoever gave me answer
[05:02] <MrXclusiv> :)
[05:02] <tritium> Frog292: what's so special about your grub settings?
[05:02] <Frog292> dual boot
[05:02] <Pelo> Johno,  it would have help if you had said you needed to setup a dial up connection to start with,  give me a minue to find the instructions
[05:02] <ardchoille> Frog292: Copy that file to be in with the files you are backing up.
[05:02] <kitche> Frog292: grub has nothing to do with your home dir all settings for that is kept in /boot
[05:02] <tritium> Frog292: that's easily setup again
[05:02] <Frog292> ok - i just rembmer it was a pain somehow
[05:02] <Johno> Pelo: ok
[05:03] <ardchoille> Frog292: Well, that is an issue that is quickly and easily fixed.. with the gurus in this channel :)

[05:12] <kuma> hi, how can i configure the mounting system so any user can mount devices?
[05:12] <Pelo> Johno, I think this might help  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388932&highlight=connecting+dialup
[05:12] <neuro_damage> so i am running the isntallation cd and then a laptop is going black
[05:12] <Mugwump09> Ademan: Yes, it crashes right after I log in
[05:12] <Johno> pelo: ok
[05:12] <eisma> how do i support rar files?
[05:12] <neuro_damage> how do I fix this?
[05:12] <neuro_damage> anyone?
[05:12] <Ademan> Mugwump09: hrm could you make a paste of /var/log/syslog ?
[05:12] <Frog292> ah=ha i think catid's command wprked, thanks
[05:13] <kitche> !rar | eisma
[05:13] <ubotu> eisma: 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
[05:13] <Ademan> or at least check it out and see if there's some failure going on?
[05:13] <Mugwump09> Ademan: I don't know what that means
[05:13] <Frog292> nooooooooooooooo
[05:13] <bigdawg72988> I did everything on the ubuntu support page to install the fglrx driver for my ATI graphics card.  But in my xorg.conf file says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12097/  I am confused as to what driver is actually installed?
[05:13] <Ademan> Mugwump09: /var/log/syslog is a file
[05:13] <Frog292> well, nm, i'm just going to go reinstall
[05:13] <Frog292> no need to get it workign if im reinstalling
[05:13] <Ademan> bigdawg72988: you have to modify your xorg.conf yourself (or use the ati xorg configuration utility)
[05:13] <Mugwump09> Ademan: okay, I think I understand, how do I get to it?
[05:14] <wyld> ***quick question here: what does initrd mean in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[05:14] <Ademan> Mugwump09: what i'd do, is at the login screen, hit ctrl+alt+f1, there you can log in to a text console
[05:14] <kitche> bigdawg72988: they both are fglrx is the ati driver the ati driver is the open source wrapper for all the open source radeon drivers
[05:14] <kitche> !initrd | wyld
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initrd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <kuma> hi, how can i configure the mounting system so any user can mount devices?
[05:14] <Ademan> Mugwump09: from there just type "nano /var/log/syslog"
[05:14] <bigdawg72988> ok
[05:14] <kitche> wyld: it's needed to boot
[05:14] <Mugwump09> Ademan: is that it?
[05:14] <wyld> kitche: thanks
[05:14] <Frog292> so let me ask to make sure - is there a page that says how to reinstall ubuntu with 6.10?
[05:14] <fuNk> Someone convince me - seriously, that linux aint too much of an annoyance to actually run the OS. Cause, i never ran linux, but i keep hearing over the years that performance-wise, it beats winblows anytime, but i dont want to RTFM for days just to install a game or video card
[05:15] <kitche> wyld: you don't need one but ubuntu uses one to keep the kernel relatively small really
[05:15] <catid> fuNk: but that's part of the *fun*
[05:15] <fuNk> Ah
[05:15] <Ademan> fuNk: it's either hit or mis, my install worked flawlessly out of the box, no configuration required
[05:15] <pkh> I've got a problem:  my date is wrong on my system.  but I can't chnage it because 'sudo date xxxxx' won't work because sudo complains that the date is in the future.....   is there a way to sort this?
[05:15] <Ademan> but for instance, Mugwump09 is having one hell of a time getting it to work
[05:15] <fuNk> Ademan: and is it hard to run, and install files and what not?
[05:15] <Mugwump09> yes I am
[05:15] <Ademan> fuNk: installing things is a breeze
[05:16] <kitche> fuNk: in ubuntu no in linux yes
[05:16] <Pelo> g'night folks
[05:16] <wyld> kitche: do you know how i would add a suse option on hda7 that was not found by ubuntu, but i know it's there?
[05:16] <fuNk> isnt Ubuntu just another version of linux, like mandrake or redhat
[05:16] <fuNk> ?
[05:16] <fuNk> <- linux noob
[05:16] <catid> yes another "distribution"
[05:16] <Ademan> fuNk: yes, but each one brings certain things to the table
[05:16] <wyld> fuNk: yeah
[05:16] <happy_nic> fuNk: installing most things is easier than in windows. but some things can be 100 times more painful. namely things like video card drivers
[05:16] <catid> fuNk: it will work differently than Windows and MacOS, sometimes better sometimes worse
[05:16] <Ademan> Mugwump09: so once you do that, you should be able to view the contents of that file
[05:16] <fuNk> and apparently Ubuntu is the most user friendly linux OS as of yet
[05:16] <RamiKassab> gentlemen, I've been searching all over google to try to figure out how to accurately check how much video memory my integrated graphics card is using, the 'free' command reports 1 gig total memory (accurate) but shouldn't it be less since some of it is shared?
[05:17] <fuNk> see, something as simple as checking his vid memory card
[05:17] <fuNk> seems a pain
[05:17] <Toma-> fuNk: its the most popular so youll get plenty of help and packages for it
[05:17] <fuNk> and a lot of other users seem to have that pain
[05:17] <fuNk> its whats keeping me from getting linux
[05:17] <Mugwump09> Ademan: thank you, I will try it
[05:17] <kitche> wyld: copy the entry and edit it paste it toward the bottom root would be (hd0,x where x is hte partition that suse is on 0=first partition 1=second partition
[05:17] <Toma-> !envy > fuNk
[05:17] <catid> it's easier for me to debug problems with my video card than a window's user..  about the same difficulty of upgrading.. installation was a pain the first time
[05:18] <Ademan> fuNk: you hear about users having trouble because no one spam's message boards with "omg linux worked no problem please help me!!!"
[05:18] <kuma> fuNk, linux is getting better everyday, you'll find that things that were a pain in the past somebody has make them easier than windows
[05:18] <Johno> pelo: it says I can just type pon but that didn't work
[05:18] <happy_nic> fuNk: I fought my computer for days trying to get a proper dual head support. I finally ended up with a buggy solution.
[05:18] <GoGetta> how do you do a full page zoom in firefox? It is already built in opera, what extension do i need for firefox?
[05:18] <wyld> kitche: is the first partition on the disk, or the way linux numbers them?
[05:18] <fuNk> Ademan: true but then again, windows doesnt need a 900 user channel on IRC for support, since everything is pretty much self explanatory. Whereas in linux you MUST have some knowledge
[05:18] <catid> nvidia support for linux is great
[05:18] <Frog292> my personal views on linux - installing drivers and some programs needs to be easier, and dual booting needs to be a breeze
[05:19] <kitche> wyld: first partition ont he disk is 0 for x it's how grub numbers them
[05:19] <GoGetta> catid: i agree
[05:19] <Frog292> and each persons computer shouldn't have 2-3 individual problems.... then i could ocnvince everyone to get linux
[05:19] <Ademan> fuNk: i disagree, instead dell, hp, compaq all have 1-800 numbers to call and wait 45 minutes to talk to a tech support person in india
[05:19] <fuNk> True.
[05:19] <catid> well if you use anything for a while it seems easy..  windows can be just as hard to use the first time..
[05:19] <kuma> Ademan: true that

[05:20] <happytron> catid: its not that great... who knows when the black windows bug will be fixed...
[05:21] <Ademan> fuNk: but like i said, linux is either hit or miss, it can support EVERYTHING out of the box, without requiring you to do anything at all, or you could be stuck without video and internet :-)
[05:21] <catid> happytron: what black windows bug?
[05:21] <Foon> grumble
[05:21] <catid> happytron: with compositing?
[05:21] <psyber> hey guys... can anyone help me with a bash question?
[05:21] <Ademan> fuNk: that's why they have LiveCD's so that you can test and see what will happen, without risking your computer
[05:21] <wyld> kitche: but my partitions are  numbered 1,5,6,7
[05:21] <Toma-> Smaug: you pasted in -offtopic, now you paste in here? dont you learn???
[05:21] <fuNk> Toma-: then why is is that its such a pain to install a simple video card or like the gentlemen above me earlier, who googled for hours just to know how to check his vid ram
[05:21] <wyld> kitche: i think
[05:21] <alekz> hi i have a problem with firestarter, i have allowed icmp traceroute packets, but i cant use traceroute, i just can use it with firestarter dissabled, can someone help me ?
[05:21] <happytron> with nvidia drivers, if you have too many windows open at once... some of them become black
[05:21] <Foon> I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:21] <Foon> I can now reconfigure the screen settings and junk
[05:21] <happytron> not sure exactly what the problem is, graphics memory isn't being managed correctly... i guess
[05:21] <Foon> but it STILL doesn't work
[05:21] <catid> happytron: ah yeah you can fix that by switching to a software rendering path "copy"
[05:21] <Ademan> happytron: that's a bug in the nvidia drivers, they were SUPPOSED to fix that 2 driver versions ago
[05:21] <Toma-> fuNk: because you and him didnt read the guide.
[05:21] <wyld> fuNk: it's linux, live with it ;-)
[05:21] <Foon> I still haven't found a working combination of settings :(
[05:21] <GoGetta> www.ubuntuguide.org for installing vid card drivers
[05:21] <Foon> all of which should work
[05:21] <fuNk> Toma-: lol
[05:22] <kitche> wyld: yes grub calls partitons this 0= first partition on the disk 1=2nd partition and so on it's the number that came before your partition
[05:22] <happytron> yeah, just saying nvidia support isn't that great =]
[05:22] <happy_nic> psyber: just ask your question
[05:22] <Foon> hijjt: ?
[05:22] <kitche> wyld: grub numbers them different then the linux kernel does
[05:22] <wyld> kitche: ok, i'll try that
[05:22] <dkbg> #ubuntu-effects
[05:22] <wyld> kitche: thanks
[05:22] <kuma> happytron: but apps like automatix make's it easier to use, right?=
[05:22] <Foon> GoGetta: I'm beyond that I think, but thanks
 fuNk: it's linux, live with it ;-)
[05:22] <fuNk> * viator has joined #ubuntu
[05:22] <fuNk> my point exactly
[05:22] <fuNk> :P
[05:22] <Toma-> fuNk: heck, you can even search the guide for "video drivers" and install it within 30 seconds of reading it
[05:22] <Ademan> fuNk: plus, the problem with video card drivers is really the video card vendors themselves, NVIDIA and ATI make the video card installers, they're the ones that made them such a pain in the ass
[05:22] <Frog292> Ok - i'm haveing some problems copying my home directory, i've mounted windows NTFS on this computer, and now i'm copying the home directory and it gives me many errors saying it can't copy... a lot of those errors are files that are on my windows drive....
[05:22] <happytron> ?, what is automatix?
[05:22] <Frog292> !automatix
[05:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:22] <Ademan> happytron: a bad idea
[05:22] <fuNk> Ademan; why are there no problems with them on windows machine then
[05:22] <GoGetta> happytron: automated installer for a bunch of programs
[05:23] <RamiKassab> gentlemen, I've been searching all over google to try to figure out how to accurately check how much video memory my integrated graphics card is using, the 'free' command reports 1 gig total memory (accurate) but shouldn't it be less since some of it is shared?
[05:23] <kitche> !ntfs | Frog292
[05:23] <fuNk> or seldom, compared to linux
[05:23] <ubotu> Frog292: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:23] <Ademan> fuNk: NVIDIA and ATI care more about windows
[05:23] <fuNk> Ademan: money
[05:23] <fuNk> heh
[05:23] <Foon> hijjt: oi?
[05:23] <viator> how do i make it so that fspot is automatically opened when i hook up my camera
[05:23] <Frog292> ok.... but i still can't copy my home directory
[05:23] <GoGetta> ademan: only becuase windows has 90 percent of the market(estimate)
[05:23] <fuNk> sortof like what mark rein did with ut2k3
[05:23] <psyber> ok so I am trying to add my /bin direcory to my path variable for some shell scrips.  The code in my .bash_profile claims that it adds the /bin directory to the $PATH yet I cannot run my scrips outside of the /bin directory any thoughts?
[05:23] <kitche> happytron: automatix is a program that ubuntu does support and should not be suggested in this channel :)
[05:23] <atoponce> Heartsbane: ping
[05:23] <kitche> happytron: does/doesn't*
[05:23] <viator> the graphical preferred applications tool is USELESS
[05:23] <happytron> hmm, well i often use the synaptics manager... which seems to work well
[05:23] <Ademan> fuNk: well NVIDIA is far better with linux than ATi
[05:23] <kuma> sorry, it worked for me though
[05:24] <Ademan> NVIDIA drivers are relatively easy
[05:24] <happy_nic> psyber: odd, what does "echo $PATH" tell you?
[05:24] <wyld> kitche: what about the root=/dev/sda7 that happens to be on every entry in my menu.lst?
[05:24] <catid> RamiKassab: are you talking about the memory available to your system or to the graphics card?  graphics cards often have RAM just for their own uses (storing textures/pictures)
[05:24] <Toma-> fuNk: its all about licensing. windows is a multi-billion dollar OS and ubuntu is totally free. no-ones going to shell out huge amounts to let ubuntu have proprietry licenses for mp3 and video drivers and codecs.
[05:24] <kitche> wyld: that is what your / is for suse root=/dev/sdX
[05:24] <wyld> kitche: oh
[05:25] <psyber> it does not look like it works
[05:25] <psyber> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[05:25] <fuNk> they should make linux conferences, where the public is allowed to attend, and they make us try to install linux on machines and give it a test drive
[05:25] <Toma-> fuNk: btw, this is a support channel... lets continue in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[05:25] <RamiKassab> catid: I was under the impression that an integrated graphics card like the Intel ones used shared memory from the installed system ram
[05:25] <fuNk> im sure they would get a lot of windows users
[05:25] <Frog292> my poblem is not that i want to mount windows, its that i have and now i can't copy my home directory
[05:25] <RamiKassab> catid: correct me if I am wrong
[05:25] <fuNk> Toma- : ok
[05:25] <RamiKassab> catid: I know standalone cards have their own memory
[05:25] <kuma> hi, how can i configure the mounting system so any user can mount devices?
[05:25] <Coldopm> hello, can anyone help me? when I try to install Edgy on my notebook, it gives me an x-server error due to my grafix card driver....it shuts down my x-serve and goes to a non gui command, how can I install it from this screen?
[05:25] <happy_nic> psyber: I see /bin in the $PATH you pasted...
[05:26] <viator> any ideas??
[05:26] <wyld> kitche: hokay! here it goes
[05:26] <psyber> but then why wont my scripts run outside the /bin directory?
[05:26] <happy_nic> psyber: in fact you wouldn't even be able to "ls" if /bin wasn't in your path
[05:27] <psyber> im looking for the bin directory in my home folder

[05:27] <Ademan> errors i guess, i couldn't tell you exactly, but if it's freezing, i'd bet it's near the end of the log
[05:27] <Mugwump09> Ademan: I found an error that said "no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects"
[05:28] <Smaug> catid: excuse my dumbness but how exactly do i get to the exstention(module)?
[05:28] <kitche> wyld: well you have hte tools to do it now just have ot figure out what / and kernel= is set to for suse
[05:28] <happy_nic> psyber: did you just make that directory? you might have to logout and log back into your shell. then .bash_profile will run and test to see if there is a ~/bin directory
[05:28] <Ademan> Mugwump09: unfortunately i'm not too good with the low level errors like that, your best bet in my opinion is googling the errors you have (sorry i can't be of more help)
