[03:57] <jmantra> insta: I highly reccomend proftp
[03:57] <silvertip257> jmantra:  private chat?
[03:57] <maxlinux> i have now the restricted drivers
[03:57] <maxlinux> but
[03:57] <jmantra> sure silver
[03:57] <maxlinux> still resolution aint working
[03:57] <tcpdumpgod> insta  ProFTPD is probably going to be your "quickest" bet,.
[03:57] <Damarack> pureftpd
[03:57] <nickrud> maxlinux, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:57] <insta> tcpdumpgod: that's what i went with
[03:57] <Damarack> Easier to config and more auth options
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> maxlinux: i'm guessing there is some sort of ATI control panel you need to install, i know thast how it is w/ Nvidia.., and it works fine.
[03:57] <insta> i don't need more auth options
[03:58] <insta> i need "make server start now"
[03:58] <tcpdumpgod> insta  ProFTPD?
[03:58] <tcpdumpgod> insta  you need to start the service is what you're saying
[03:58] <tcpdumpgod> OR you need a FTPd you can have up and running QUICK.
[03:58] <tcpdumpgod> ?
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> !medibuntu | nofear this might also be helpful, as everything you're asking for is in the medibuntu repo
[03:58] <ubotu> nofear this might also be helpful, as everything you're asking for is in the medibuntu repo: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[03:59] <insta> i need an ftp service i can have running quickly
[03:59] <insta> i don't need it to be running tomororw
[03:59] <tcpdumpgod> insta  are you using ubuntu?
[03:59] <tcpdumpgod> If so, use proftpd.
[03:59] <insta> k, i did
[03:59] <tcpdumpgod> The user accounts on the Ubuntu box are the logins for the FTPd.
[04:00] <alexbOrsova> i'm having a problem with /dev/usb/hiddev0: it only shows up if ndiswrapper isn't loaded at boot; this is a problem beccause i don't want to load ndiswrapper manually every time i turn the computer
[04:00] <tcpdumpgod> like, if you have your account set up as insta , your username and pass is what you log into ubuntu with.
[04:00] <annonymouse> cptR3D sorry ive done what it says but how do i run it?
[04:00] <joanki> q:  why do we have to put the ~in cd ~/Desktop ?  shouldn't it work find without the ~?
[04:01] <nickrud> joanki, ~ is shorthand for /home/<you>
[04:01] <Damarack> ~ points to your home
[04:01] <hdevalence> joanki: only if you are in ~ at the time
[04:01] <hwilde> joanki, the command "pwd" is your friend
[04:01] <insta> tcpdumpgod: thanks, it's up and running
[04:01] <joanki> got it thanks all
[04:01] <joanki> what is that hwild
[04:01] <joanki> hwilde,
[04:02] <hdevalence> print working directory
[04:02] <hdevalence> pwd
[04:02] <tcpdumpgod> Sure thing insta, make sure you disable anonymous in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf or wherever it may lie.
[04:02] <annonymouse> does any one know how to get zquake running
[04:03] <insta> tcpdumpgod: like i said, i dont' care about that, the ftp server is going to be running over firewire for just long enough to pull 5gb of packages off of it
[04:03] <tcpdumpgod> Aah, okay.
[04:03] <hwilde> !quake | annonymouse

[04:04] <Greevous> I have an s-video output on my desktop pc, but how can I switch the outputs so that it goes to the extra video device? (No fn keys)
[04:04] <annonymouse> my laptop wont handle quake 4, and ive just got zquake but i dont know how to  run it ive  made a folder called quake that has  id1 in it  and the pak files are there, then in quake i have zqds zqwcl zqwcl-x11   but any one i click on nothing happens
[04:04] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous what is the model of your video card for starters?
[04:05] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: it's an ATI All-In-Wonder 9000
[04:05] <tcpdumpgod> oh jesus... i havent worked w/ATI in a while.

[04:07] <Amerio> hey all
[04:07] <Gpalco> HJallo dear friends! Greetings with the coming new year (or with new that has come if you're in Europe!) Need your addvice
[04:07] <nat1192> Does ATI Catalyst work with Ubuntu?
[04:07] <Amerio> any guide for installing Ubuntu over Vista?
[04:08] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: okay, thank you. I was under the impression that I had all necessary drivers, since compiz-fusion works flawlessly
[04:08] <hdevalence> Amerio: The procedure for vista is pretty much the same as XP
[04:09] <hwilde> !offtopic
[04:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:09] <Amerio> hdevalence : which better , to install Ubuntu on other parition than the vista one or install it on the same parition of vista?
[04:09] <aswera> hello
[04:09] <annonymouse> pls can some one point in me the direction of how to install zquake im reallt confused now
[04:09] <aswera> can anyone help
[04:09] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous you do have all the drivers, its just an option in the xorg.conf configuration file.
[04:09] <tcpdumpgod> :)
[04:09] <hdevalence> Amerio: You can't install on the same partition
[04:09] <aswera> i'm booting xubuntu on a 500mhz intel celeron
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> !ANYONE | aswera
[04:09] <ubotu> aswera: 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?
[04:09] <Gpalco> My Ubuntu Live CD is refusing to MOUNT NTFS partitions. Just if the windows session was not finished properly. But that is not the case. Q: Is there a way to force NTFS partition mount under Ubuntu? (read only is good)
[04:10] <Amerio> hdevalence: ok so , onstalling it on other parition , after installation the boot menu will auto. appear right?
[04:11] <hdevalence> Amerio: It should autodetect.
[04:11] <Amerio> hdevalence: thanx dude =)
[04:11] <hdevalence> Amerio: very important:
[04:11] <aswera> i removed quiet from the safegraphics boot but the live cd is still hanging on "running local boot scripts: (/etc/rc.local)"
[04:11] <nat1192> Gpalco: try: sudo mkdir /mount/windows sudo; mount -t ntfs /dev/HDDEVICE /mount/windows
[04:11] <aswera> sometihng like that
[04:11] <hdevalence> Amerio: when installing, be sure to read everything twice
[04:12] <Amerio> hdevalence: i'll do
[04:12] <hdevalence> Amerio: btw, happy new-year's

[04:12] <Eyemean> hi has anyone used Cedega?
[04:12] <menisk> I'm trying to compile and install the RT61 kernel module on the server edition of ubuntu but it keeps complaining that there is no /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-server/build directory. So I added the directory but now It says that there is no rule to make target 'modules' in that directory.
[04:12] <menisk> Can someone please help.
[04:12] <crimsun> menisk: you should install the linux-headers-$(uname -r) package.
[04:13] <Gibby69> Hi all. When i "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal it says Permission denied
[04:13] <crimsun> menisk: `sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)`
[04:13] <tcpdumpgod> Eyemean yes, and its a great program from what I can remember.
[04:13] <menisk> crimsun: I'll try that and let you know if it works.
[04:13] <Eyemean> tcpdumgod, do u know if it works well on gutsy?
[04:14] <tcpdumpgod> Yep, it works great.
[04:14] <tcpdumpgod> Eyemean just make sure you check on their site to see how well supported the game you want to play is.

[04:14] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: for the s-video out, do you know what I might be looking for in my xorg.conf file?
[04:15] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous you're going to have to learn to use the forum & google. I'll TELL you the answer this time.
[04:15] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous give me  second.
[04:15] <Eyemean> tcpdumgod, do u need to pay $5 a month if u not intrested in online gaming, just want to play on gutsy?
[04:15] <maxlinux> how can i remove my ati drivers ?
[04:15] <tcpdumpgod> Eyemean not too sure.
[04:15] <menisk> crimsun, Any ideas?
[04:16] <tcpdumpgod> I know their software can be downloaded illeagly though.

Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks.
[04:16] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: I can narrow it down to either "monitor" or "screen", but since things can get really screwed up when you mess with xorg.conf...
[04:16] <tcpdumpgod> my bad OPS
[04:16] <menisk> crimsun, I'm not. It just says that when I try to install.
[04:17] <ticks> D'oh! I already ran into my first problem. :( I was 100% positive that Ubuntu had the ability to resize partitions, but I just can't seem to do it now!
[04:17] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous do a "cp -arfvp /etc /etc.bak
[04:17] <tcpdumpgod> then tinker with things.
[04:17] <maxlinux> how can i deinstall my ati drivers ?
[04:17] <aswera> did anyone get that?
[04:17] <nickrud> ticks, make sure you have unmounted the partition you want to resize
[04:17] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: alright, thank you very much
[04:17] <ticks> Ooh
[04:17] <crimsun> menisk: err, I fail to see how apt-get would attempt to remove it if you say "install"...

[04:17] <aswera> live cd is hanging on /etc/rc.local upon boot

[04:23] <tcpdumpgod> I THINK its installable through apt annonymouse
[04:23] <WorkingOnWise> do I need the UUID or my partitions in fstab?
[04:23] <tcpdumpgod> NO annonymouse  you're not.

[04:23] <aswera> hmmmm, idk
[04:23] <aswera> i'll check
[04:23] <annonymouse> hwilde its not on the list
[04:23] <aswera> what's min?

[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> Good deal annonymouse :)
[04:24] <menisk> crimsun, Any thoughts?
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> aswera: i think 64mb installed, but I'm sure the Live CD is more than that.., maybe 256
[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> Sometimes you just need another set of eyes, nothing to be ashamed of.
[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> Thats what we're here for.
[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> :)
[04:24] <crimsun> menisk: sec, very busy ATM.
[04:24] <ticks> Hmm, I'm somewhat inexperienced with this. I would think it was something like 'umount /media/<disk name>' but that doesn't seem to help.
[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> 10 years ago, I was asking questions like that annonymouse
[04:24] <tcpdumpgod> :P
[04:24] <menisk> crimsun, Okay.
[04:25] <annonymouse> tcpdumpgod i wish 10 years ago id sacked windows of then
[04:25] <crimsun> menisk: what's the output from `ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-server`?
[04:25] <tcpdumpgod> Yeah, i nuked Windows 2000 Pro and put Redhat 7.2 on my box.
[04:25] <tcpdumpgod> Then I looked at it like i was retarded.
[04:25] <Pikkon> hello I have the dumbest question.Can anyone give me a hand I need to install adobe flash player or something so i can watch web video's and im not quite sure how.
[04:25] <annonymouse> ubuntu  is so good  and for my needs  and i havent even scratched the surface of what it can do  and it aready blows  xp away
[04:25] <tcpdumpgod> But, i learned a lot faster once i abandoned windows.
[04:25] <annonymouse> :)
[04:26] <WorkingOnWise> do I need the UUID of my partitions in fstab?
[04:26] <tcpdumpgod> annonymouse wait till you become a poweruser.

[04:26] <annonymouse> people were laffing saying incompatibility  wont work etc etc  and so far inside of a week n half  everything works well
[04:26] <tcpdumpgod> And use awk and sed and things like that.
[04:26] <tcpdumpgod> Its mad leet
[04:26] <tcpdumpgod> yep annonymouse
[04:26] <annonymouse> tcpdumpgod slow steps lol
[04:26] <aswera> can i install without running livecd??
[04:27] <tcpdumpgod> annonymouse take your time, Linux isnt going anywhere.
[04:27] <Flannel> aswera: yes, get the alternate CD, or use the ubiquity-only kernel parameter on the Desktop CD
[04:27] <tcpdumpgod> aswera use a server install CD
[04:27] <ticks> It will still not allow me to resize the drive. I properly unmounted it now, and it doesn't show up in the list that 'mount' returns either.
[04:27] <ticks> It's a SATA drive, is that a problem?
[04:27] <Flannel> aswera: erm, only-ubiquity that is.  But alternate CD is probably easier
[04:27] <nickrud> ticks, not sure, I'm no gparted master
[04:28] <menisk> crimsun, This could take some time. I have to type it by hand. >_< can't copy and paste from another computer.
[04:28]  * nickrud has been burned twice by gparted, does it the oldfashioned way: backups & cfdisk
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> i think i just wonked the nvidia driver on my PC..lol
[04:29] <ticks> Crap. :(
[04:29]  * Oli`` thinks he needs to use "wonk" as a verb more often
[04:29] <nickrud> ticks, try using a ntfs shrink utility in windows
[04:29] <ticks> I will try that soon.
[04:29] <menisk> crimsun, What should I be looking for?
[04:29] <Gibby69> Why does terminal report "Permission denied" when i try to run "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:30] <crimsun> menisk: any additional errors above the one you pasted
[04:30] <Oli``> Gibby69: because it's not executable
[04:30] <nickrud> Gibby69, because it's not a file to execute
[04:30] <Oli``> Gibby69: open it in gedit
[04:30] <ticks> And interesting thing to note is that the Ubuntu install software seemed to bug out on me. It gave me a long list of partitioning options just now, where several were just "(", ")" and "0".
[04:30] <menisk> crimsun, It just lists a bunch of files.
[04:30] <nickrud> Gibby69, what is it you want to do?
[04:30] <crimsun> menisk: the entire output would be useful
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> Gibby69: you need to tell it what to do, if you'r ewanting to edit xorg.conf, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:31] <menisk> crimsun, this will take sometime.
[04:31] <crimsun> menisk: that's fine; I'm here for a bit longer.
[04:31] <arkanes> if you don't know what to do with xorg.conf, don't edit it with gedit
[04:31] <Oli``> lol that's fair advice from arkanes there, Gibby69
[04:32] <redfox> I installed ubuntu gutsy on an external hard drive but whenever I try to boot from it it says grub error 22. How do I fix this?
[04:32] <nickrud> Gibby69, a better question, what are you trying to accomplish?
[04:32] <timothy1> after following all steps on this bug report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/44233) I still have the problem, does anyone know of a solution that has not been posted on that page?
[04:32] <Gibby69> I want to correct the aspect ratio for my wide screen monitor
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> i guess if you wanted to just look at a directory for some reason, you could run nautilus /etc/X11
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Gibby69: so you need to edit xorg.conf..., gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:32] <arkanes> Gibby69: you should be able to do what you nede to do from the screen and graphic admin tool
[04:35] <Gibby69> its an intel board with onboard graphics and won't wide screen in the admin tool
[04:35] <timothy1> does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade the skype client on ubuntu 7.10 to the latest version? I'm at <IP_ADDRESS>, and I think it's at 3.6 for other OS's
[04:35] <adelie> are there any good command line image analysis tools for linux?
[04:35] <hdevalence> timothy1: i think they version differently for different os's
[04:35] <arlbee> I want to update the virus signatures on ClamTk but it says I must be 'root' to install the updates. I am runing 7.10 Ubuntu & have tried logging in as root from the login screen but it says that the system administrator cannot login from this screen. What do I have to do to get the virus updates ?
[04:36] <SuperQ> timothy1: there is a beta of 2.0 with video support
[04:36] <SuperQ> timothy1: but that's all that skype provides
[04:36] <adelie> arlbee: you can run the tool as root. don't ever log in as root
[04:36] <timothy1> SUperQ, ok, great, thank you
[04:37] <WorkingOnWise> i'm trying to mount a partition witn sudo mount -a. I get " wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1" the fstab entry is /dev/sda1 /home/workingonwise/DiskImages          ext2 0       2. The partition is ext2, and the DiskImages dir is there. Whats wrong?
[04:37] <timothy1> hdevalence, thank you, another user just pointed out version 2.0 Beta, so I might look into that
[04:37] <SuperQ> timothy1: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/beta/
[04:37] <SuperQ> timothy1: it's kinda hidden away on their site
[04:37] <timothy1> SuperQ, ahh, I see, thanks for the link!
[04:37] <hdevalence> timothy1: i don't use skype myself, so i don't really know much
[04:37] <arlbee> Adelie, how would I run ClamTk as root ?
[04:38] <adelie> There must be some image analysis tools, if not at least for the simple fact they would be easy to write, it would just take me a few days to write the tools i need
[04:38] <adelie> arlbee:  how do  you run the program?
[04:39] <timothy1> hdevalence, ahh, well thank you for your help!
[04:39] <hdevalence> timothy1:  and happy newyears
[04:39] <adelie> arlbee: i'll guess you want to hit alt-f2, and type `gksudo clamtk'
[04:39] <arlbee> I run it while logged in as me Applications >Accessories>Virus Scanner
[04:39] <timothy1> hdevalence, yup, you too!
[04:40] <shadowh511> hello
[04:40] <n_i_c_k> jjj
[04:40] <WorkingOnWise> i'm trying to mount a partition witn sudo mount -a. I get " wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1" the fstab entry is /dev/sda1 /home/workingonwise/DiskImages          ext2 0       2. The partition is ext2, and the DiskImages dir is there. Whats wrong?
[04:40] <adelie> arlbee: if it is not just clamtk, then you can find out what it is by opening the tool to edit the menus and look at what it says under 'command' for that item.
[04:41] <menisk> crimsun, I ave finished typing finally. :) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50355/
[04:41] <adelie> arlbee: work?
[04:41] <menisk> crimsun, Does that help at all?
[04:42] <SuperQ> WorkingOnWise: what do you get when you "file -s /dev/sda1"
[04:42] <shadowh511> what's a good screen recoeder software?
[04:42] <shadowh511> recoeder
[04:42] <crimsun> menisk: busy ATM, sorry
[04:42] <shadowh511> recorder
[04:42] <WorkingOnWise> SuperQ: /dev/sda1: writable, no read permission
[04:42] <menisk> crimsun, Okay.
[04:42] <SuperQ> WorkingOnWise: try sudo :)
[04:43] <WorkingOnWise> hehe
[04:43] <arlbee> Adelie, I hit Alt F2 & typed in the command....this enabled me to update the virus signatures ok...Q: closing the app, does this log me out of sudo ?

[04:49] <technel> ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb. 2x 22" LCDs. By default, 2nd monitor clones first. Tried Xinerama, it degrades to low graphics mode and it's just a clone. MergedFB did...nothing. Used the tutorials on Ubuntu forums for both--any ideas?
[04:49] <dano> how do you put zune on ubuntu
[04:50] <redfox> ur all haters
[04:50] <dano> how do you put zune on ubuntu
[04:50] <technel> dano: Maybe if you repeat your question a few more times within the next 60 seconds you will get more responses :o
[04:50] <Myrtti> !repeat | dano
[04:50] <ubotu> dano: 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
[04:51] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous let me get my fstab line for you.
[04:51] <technel> !patience
[04:51] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:51] <aswera> it says it has 532+ MB of ram
[04:51] <tcpdumpgod> If you're using RAID, you're going to need mtab also.
[04:51] <dano> how do you put zune on ubuntu
[04:52] <Myrtti> dano: we heard you the three previous times
[04:52] <multi_io> in which file (if any?) do outputs of init scripts end up during system boot?
[04:52] <tcpdumpgod> Greevous /etc/fstab is here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3173/

[04:55] <wirser> Hi I just installed unbuntu Gutsy Gibbon for the first time on an athlon 64x2 system. my question has anybody had luck getting css dvd's to play proerly in 64 bit, if so how?
[04:55] <dano> how do you put zune on ubuntu
[04:56] <Myrtti> dano: last warning, quit repeating.
[04:56] <tcpdumpgod> no, no Greevous those are filesystem config files.
[04:56] <tcpdumpgod> Your main xorg config is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:56] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: I thought so... but you told me to check out your fstab at pastebin
[04:57] <Greevous> tcpdumpgod: it seemed like you got me confused with someone else
[04:59] <nickrud> multi_io, they don't, sadly
[05:00] <nickrud> wirser, I installed libdvdcss from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105

[05:08] <nickrud> Eyemean, what you do with it depends on what's in it, what is it?
[05:08] <technel> ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb. 2x 22" LCDs. By default, 2nd monitor clones first. Tried Xinerama, it degrades to cloned low graphics mode. MergedFB did...nothing (still cloned). Used the tutorials on Ubuntu forums for both. Please--I'd really appreciate some help!
[05:08] <wirser> nickrud, haven't tried any other ml disk yet but I lost faith in totem
[05:08] <Malik_> hey every1
[05:09] <nickrud> wirser, you might try totem-xine, uses the xine backend
[05:09] <Malik_> can some 1 help me out?
[05:09] <billenium> Happy New Years from East USA!
[05:09] <Eyemean> nickrud, it is cedega so i can try and see what windows games on linux play as
[05:09] <nickrud> Eyemean, cedega will have instructions on it's website
[05:10] <Malik_> hello
[05:10] <Malik_> can some1 help me out
[05:10] <nickrud> !ask | Malik_
[05:10] <ubotu> Malik_: Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[05:10] <Malik_> o..sry
[05:10] <Malik_> first time here
[05:10] <Malik_> i jus downloaded and burned unbuntu
[05:10] <Eyemean> nickrud, i havent regisred, i just wanted to test before i buy
[05:10] <Malik_> wat r like the problems with it
[05:10] <nickrud> Malik_, then welcome. It's pretty empty tonight, so be ready to wait
[05:10] <Malik_> k
[05:10] <technel> Yeah, only 1089 users :)
[05:10] <WorkingOnWise> Malik_: welcome to our madness   :)
[05:11] <redd0t> Malik: what do you mean problems
[05:11] <Malik_> yea it newyears
[05:11] <billenium> Malik_, what do you mean problems?
[05:11] <redd0t> and welcome to the community
[05:11] <Malik_> like can it not play games?
[05:11] <billenium> like Halo 3, no
[05:11] <Malik_> lol..
[05:11] <billenium> unless you duel boot
[05:11] <wirser> nickrud, I'll give it a try, I'd like to get vlc working right but there seems to be a new security release so recompiling may be the answer
[05:11] <billenium> or CS, COD, ect
[05:11] <Malik_> so is it hard to get internet on it?
[05:11] <billenium> no
[05:11] <billenium> you just plug your ethernet cable in
[05:11] <Malik_> wat about wirless
[05:11] <con-man> 1189 users, but most are idling due to new years
[05:12] <billenium> tad harder,
[05:12] <billenium> im not totally sure though
[05:12] <Malik_> ppl todl me its so compicated and messed up
[05:12] <redd0t> Malik: it can play some games. And others can be played using wine. you could even vmware windows if your computer is fasst enough
[05:12] <nickrud> wirser, if there's a security release, it'll show up in ubuntu pronto (normally, anyway. It is the slow time of the year)
[05:12] <Flannel> Malik_: It works really well, except depending on your hardware, you may have to do a little work to get stuff running.
[05:12] <Malik_> o
[05:12] <Malik_> so wat r the requirments for it
[05:12] <Malik_> r there any?
[05:13] <Flannel> Malik_: for the liveCD, 256MB RAM.
[05:13] <con-man> Malik Im playing world of warcraft right now
[05:13] <con-man> in linux
[05:13] <Malik_> o cool
[05:13] <Flannel> Malik_: Once installed, it'll run on less
[05:13] <con-man> wine can do many things
[05:13] <nickrud> Malik_, to use it effectively, at least 512mb ram, 800mhz processor, and 15 gb disk
[05:13] <Malik_> so wats liek the cool thign bout linux unbuntu
[05:13] <con-man> everything
[05:13] <Malik_> the 3d effect
[05:13] <rudihawk> it is free!
[05:13] <Malik_> and it being open source
[05:13] <Malik_> LOL..its free ...everytin is free
[05:13] <nickrud> rudihawk, use Free , the capital letter matters :)
[05:13] <Malik_> u jus download anytin
[05:14] <rudihawk> and it is more stable than windows
[05:14] <con-man> linux is better in all respects
[05:14] <Malik_> it is?
[05:14] <con-man> hell ya
[05:14] <Malik_> but linux isn;t compatiable with things its liek vista
[05:14] <rudihawk> yep
[05:14] <con-man> I know linux boxes that have uptimes of 365+ days
[05:14] <rudihawk> dude, why would why want vista?
[05:14] <n6hgg> what's cool about linux is that once you learn it you have total command of the system
[05:14] <technel> The Linux kernel is hella-stable, but not so much when you have Compiz-Fusion running, heh.
[05:14] <billenium> rudihawk: i know many crazy insane people who would think about trying it
[05:15] <Malik_> but its so hard to learn to program and all
[05:15] <con-man> yeah compiz-fusion causes a crash once in a blue moon and you have to hard boot your comp
[05:15] <n6hgg> you are no longer just along for the Windows ride
[05:15] <n6hgg> Or the Mac ride
[05:15] <Malik_> liek  u gotta learn c++ html python and all that
[05:15] <rudihawk> no you don't
[05:15] <billenium> no you don't
[05:15] <Malik_> then how do u program?
[05:15] <rudihawk> ubuntu has a full gui
[05:15] <con-man> just dont toggle lots of features while rolling your cube with the rain on and drawing fire
[05:15] <con-man> and it shouldnt crash
[05:15] <nickrud> Malik_, I've been using linux since 2000 , and haven't programmed a lick
[05:15] <billenium> Malik_: do program you do, to run linux y ou dont
[05:15] <billenium> to program*
[05:16] <Malik_> i heard its made for hacking wats all that bout?
[05:16] <rudihawk> haha
[05:16] <con-man> thats a misconception
[05:16] <billenium> hacking as in taking things apart and making it better = true
[05:16] <con-man> hackers will use linux, but its not for hacking
[05:16] <Malik_> but is it better for hacking
[05:16] <billenium> hacking as in = evil person false
[05:16] <n6hgg> Malik, not all for hacking anymore.  It's just another OS made to make computing fun
[05:16] <rudihawk> and easy
[05:16] <rudihawk> and enjoyable
[05:17] <rudihawk> and hasslefree
[05:17] <WorkingOnWise> and secure
[05:17] <billenium> Malik_: are you thinking of HACKERS or CRACKERS?
[05:17] <con-man> linux is better than windows in so many ways
[05:17] <Malik_> so i heard u need a good graphic crad to
[05:17] <Malik_> hackers
[05:17] <con-man> Malik_: no you dont need a top end card
[05:17] <DragonSpirit> con-man, every way but gaming that is, but that isn't linux's fault.
[05:17] <billenium> then yes, its true. Linux is good for Hackers.
[05:17] <rudihawk> oh malik, you won't ever have to worry about virus's
[05:17] <Malik_> but for the cube
[05:17] <con-man> I know ppl with Radeon 9600s running compiz
[05:17] <nickrud> Malik_, in fact, the high end cards have the biggest problems in linux
[05:17] <billenium> Most... Viruses... Come in... Through... WINDOWS!
[05:17] <billenium> *intruders
[05:17] <vignesh> Hey
[05:18] <jarrod_> http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/sys/524739458.html would 500 be a good asking for this and would it run all of what ubuntu has and will have to offer?
[05:18] <Malik_> yea i know
[05:18] <con-man> DragonSpirit: this is true, but im playing world of warcraft right now and thats good enough for me
[05:18] <vignesh> I have installed Gusty
[05:18] <Malik_> cause 99 ppll use windows
[05:18] <n6hgg> Malik, if you decide to try linux, set you goal out to about 1 year to get full command of it.  You can't be in a hurry with it.
[05:18] <vignesh> I need help configuring my sound card
[05:18] <Malik_> wat age is it good to start?
[05:18] <billenium> Malik_: any
[05:18] <rudihawk> 5
[05:18] <rudihawk> :P
[05:18] <con-man> yeah the high end cards dont have their drivers written in a stable way yet
[05:18] <con-man> too new
[05:18] <n6hgg> i started linux at age 46
[05:18] <n6hgg> I'm 55 now
[05:18] <rudihawk> if you can read.....and click a mouse
[05:18] <vignesh> cool
[05:18]  * DragonSpirit is using an old gforce 4
[05:19] <Malik_> so lets say i get linux insatlled and running wwould i be able to easily open internet and play a game on miniclips.com?
[05:19] <Malik_> lol
[05:19] <billenium> yes
[05:19] <billenium> very easy
[05:19] <vignesh> I got it  working in debian etch.. can`t get it working in gusty
[05:19] <DragonSpirit> not much a gamer, so newest and fanciest is not my interest on my home pc
[05:19] <nickrud> n6hgg, heh, I started as a baby compared to you, 44 ;)
[05:19] <Malik_> so ubuntu is the best linux?
[05:19] <billenium> Applications -> Internet -> Firefox (
[05:19] <DragonSpirit> if it works, why upgrade if it doesn't do anything new for me
[05:19] <n6hgg> you're just a kid
[05:19] <n6hgg> lol
[05:19] <billenium> Malik_: thats debatable, but you asked in #ubuntu..
[05:20] <jcg42> What is the best desktop search tool for Ubuntu (Beagle, Google Desktop, etc)?
[05:20] <Malik_> kik
[05:20] <Malik_> lol*
[05:20] <jarrod_> Malik_:  one of the best desktops
[05:20] <con-man> Malik_: there is no best ubuntu, they each have their own features
[05:20] <Oliazk> ok i got a question what would be the best way to make a dvd movie . I need to take it from a camcorder then make a simple but nice looking dvd out of the movie on the tape. what would be best to use?
[05:20] <DragonSpirit> jcg42, try them all, remove the ones you like the least, keep the one you like
[05:20] <con-man> Malik_: Ubuntu is better for ppl new to linux
[05:20] <Malik_> alrite thats me
[05:21] <billenium> then you can move on to Debian, Gentoo, DSL, Slackware
[05:21] <billenium> explore it all!
[05:21] <Malik_> i hav been watchin videos of it on youtube for liek hours
[05:21] <WorkingOnWise> jarrod_: looks nice. single core cpu, and not 64 bit, so I would imagine as a seriours performance machine, it would be great for the next 2 years easily...and the price is nice...
[05:21] <Malik_> wat do u mean move to so thoe r better
[05:21] <nickrud> Malik_, what kind of video card do you have?
[05:21] <Malik_> well i got liek 4 computers at home
[05:21] <billenium> Malik_: its debatable... there is no BEST distro
[05:21] <Malik_> one fo them r gunna get linux
[05:21] <nickrud> Malik_, it'll run well on one of those then :)
[05:22] <billenium> some people like it small, some people like it fast, some people like it user friendly, some people like it unuser friendly
[05:22] <jarrod_> < WorkingOnWise> jarrod_: looks nice. single core cpu, and not 64 bit, so I would imagine as a seriours performance  machine, it would be great for the next 2 years easily...and the price is nice..
[05:22] <Malik_> but iam not gunna do anytin to me laptop which came with vista 2gb ram
[05:22] <billenium> eww
[05:22] <billenium> vista
[05:22] <Malik_> would u guys put it on a really good 2gb laptop the best computer u had ?
[05:22] <Malik_> be honest
[05:22] <DragonSpirit> infact there is no "best" os, distro, computer, color, icecream, anything... its all subjective.
[05:22] <nickrud> jarrod_, I'd agree, the video card is good for a laptop at that price
[05:22] <billenium> Malik_: in a heart beat
[05:22] <Malik_> or would be buy a normal computer to put linux on
[05:22] <billenium> especially if it had vista
[05:23] <Malik_> lol
[05:23] <billenium> opps excuse my french
[05:23] <n6hgg> Malik, yes, best to experiment on another spare computer, good idea
[05:23] <DragonSpirit> though vista is not on my personal best list.
[05:23] <Malik_> i hate vista!
[05:23] <con-man> Malik_: if I could only put linux on only one of those computers cause I had no choice, I would put it on the new laptop
[05:23] <Malik_> its jus stupid
[05:23] <billenium> hehe Vista is down there with Windows ME...
[05:23] <wirser> nickrud, well gxine had no audio so doesn't totem xine, rechecking system/preferences/sound I get no sound from als esd or oss but do from my sound card (2nd of 2 available)
[05:23]  * nickrud hasn't used windows enough to know why everyone says it's better than xp. Can't tell the difference ...
[05:23] <wirser> err alsa
[05:23] <Malik_> i am gunna put it on all 4 computers...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:23] <WorkingOnWise> Malik_:  I run Ubntu as my primary OS. Left Windows 2 months ago. Never happier. 17" laptop, 2gb ram, 100gb drive, AMD Turion x2 cpu....
[05:23] <Oliazk> does anyone know easy way to make a dvd movie from a camcorder?
[05:23] <DragonSpirit> heh, at least windows me could partially be fixed by removing parts and performing os surgery
[05:23] <jarrod_> WorkingOnWise: cool thx for checking it out for me. im getting better at linux but still am not street smart on hardware
[05:24] <Malik_> WOW!
[05:24] <DragonSpirit> good luck doing that to vista
[05:24] <billenium> Malik: if you want , you can dual boot... having two OSs on one computer.
[05:24] <Malik_> so as a secondary os?
[05:24] <con-man> Windows ME was the worst thing to happen to the computer industry
[05:24] <n6hgg> XP and Vista, just too much going on there.  Doesn't need to be that way.
[05:24] <Malik_> i know
[05:24] <Smegzor> I like Vista.  It looks nice running in its little cage on my desktop.  There's no door or feeding tray in its cage, but I wouldn't want to actually USE it.
[05:24] <nickrud> wirser, then it sounds like you have a sound issue also. But, I'm not the one to deal with sound.
[05:24] <billenium> con-man: i had windows ME... then i found Linux... runs about 100 times faster
[05:24] <WorkingOnWise> jarrod_: the only hesitation I would have it the single core cpu, but for the price, I would get past that. :)
[05:25] <Malik_> so linux is really fast?
[05:25] <DragonSpirit> I found windows ME to be better than 98, if you removed enough of it.
[05:25] <Sonicadvance1> Hello, I'm using wireless internet, and each time I restart, I have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to get it to get an ip from my router using DHCP. What do you do to remedy having to restart networking each time?
[05:25] <DragonSpirit> not something the average user could do though
[05:25] <silent_> hey guys, I'm not sure how to get the customization menu... I have the menu under appearance for no effects, normal effects, and extra effects, but no preferences button
[05:25] <Malik_> so i can downlaod things like utrorrent limewire and all that on i trite
[05:25] <Malik_> rite*
[05:25] <nickrud> SilenceGold, install compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:25] <billenium> Malik_: im pretty sure it uses up less resources
[05:25] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: hehehe..I run WinXP now the same way... I so love vm's!
[05:25] <billenium> making it faster?
[05:26] <n6hgg> Malik, it can be.  I use ubuntu but with the windowmaker window manager desktop.  Lightning fast that way.  800mhz laptop with only 256mb ram, sony vaio
[05:26] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: me too.  Thats the only way I run XP now.  My base is Ubuntu 64 with 4 gigs and dual core.
[05:26] <Malik_> wow...u ppl really luv this rite
[05:26] <rudihaw1> yea :)
[05:27] <Smegzor> I do all my paid work in XP.  Windows is just a toy of course.
[05:27] <Amerio> guys , I Have a problem installing wireless driver on Siemens fujitsu li1718 , distro Ubuntu gutsy 7.10
[05:27] <n6hgg> Malik, we just like computers...hehehe
[05:27] <Smegzor> If Windows wasn't so buggy, I wouldn't have a job.
[05:27] <rudihaw1> lol @ smegzor
[05:27] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: I tride AMD64 Ubuntu for about a month. So many little things not right yet, and no real performance boost I saw, I am on x32 now....
[05:27] <sean> can i talk to someone about the evolution program?
[05:28] <Ttech> Hi, curl when I use it in an app shows a status bar, but in the terminal the command line does not show up. :(
[05:28] <Ttech> Whats going on
[05:28] <DragonSpirit> I have not had windows on my computers since ME, even then I dual booted since shortly after the release of 98, I think, its been a long time
[05:28] <Ttech> A download bar
[05:28] <WorkingOnWise> seanI'll try....
[05:28] <con-man> I use windows XP at work cause they wont let me install linux on my box and hook it up to the corporate domain
[05:28] <Amerio> guys , I Have a problem installing wireless driver on Siemens fujitsu li1718 , distro Ubuntu gutsy 7.10
[05:28] <wirser> nickrud, I agree I'm loading all sorts of alsa stuff right now on other linux I used to know where stuff was thanks for your time so far
[05:28] <nickrud> sean, you can ask ....
[05:29] <nickrud> wirser, yeah, I used to have a feel for alsa, but that was back in the .5 days
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> speaking of alsa
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> i'm trying to install a control for my creative live drive
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> icontrol, specifically
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> and it's giving me a could not find GTK-config error
[05:29] <con-man> oh and you can watch porn in linux too
[05:29] <con-man> crisp and clear
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> could've sworn i had that though
[05:29] <con-man> opensource porn has never looked so good
[05:29] <ushdfgakk> what's the package in the ubuntu repos for gtk
[05:29] <Ttech> anyone?
[05:30] <ushdfgakk> gtk+?
[05:30] <Ttech> lol
[05:30] <ushdfgakk> this beer tastes like bologna
[05:30] <ushdfgakk> this is bad
[05:30] <technel> Trying to get Big-Desktop to work (2 22" LCDs, ATI video card). When I run "sudo aticonfig --initial --overlay-type=Xv", it just returns: Aborted (core dumped). Why?
[05:30] <silent_> hey guys, I'm not sure how to get the customization menu... I have the menu under appearance for no effects, normal effects, and extra effects, but no preferences button
[05:30] <Amerio> hdvalence installed it successfully but there is no load screen
[05:31] <bmack> im haven troubles installed my ati accelerated driver(fglrx) in restricted drivers i keep gettin a error about xorg.conf and this http://pastebin.ca/840672 at startup
[05:31] <rudihaw1> silent, try install compiz
[05:31] <hdvalence> Amerio: when you boot, is there a message 'press ESC to enter menu' and then 3     2     1   and then it loads?
[05:32] <ushdfgakk> anyone answer my simple question
[05:32] <ushdfgakk> how do i make sure gtk_config exists
[05:32] <ushdfgakk> gtk-config
[05:32] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: I got an intel and the performance boost is huge compared to my old pc that ran XP.  My virtual XP is called Squeaky Toy (inspired by Monkey Boy).
[05:32] <Amerio> hdvalence: when I boot , i get a menu of choices with vista and ubuntu when I choose ubuntu I get a blank screen instead of logo loading for ubuntu then I get the login screen
[05:32] <punto> hi.. any idea why after setting my timezone to gmt-2 (with dpkg-reconfigure tzdata) the local time shows as 2 hours after gmt?
[05:33] <robdig> ushdfgakk: it should be in /usr/bin/gtk-config
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> try setting it to gtk-22?!?!?
[05:33] <hdvalence> Amerio: but you can login ok?
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> thx
[05:33] <sean> (09:29:20 PM) sean: when i make a folder for filtering e-mail that I've already received it doesn't put those e-mails in the folder i created
[05:33] <sean> (09:29:42 PM) sean: does it only filter mail that is about to be received?
[05:33] <Amerio> hdvalence: yeah I can login
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> file doesn't exist
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> how do i install gtk+?
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> i can't find it in apt-get or anything
[05:33] <hdvalence> Amerio: not sure. someone else might know tho
[05:33] <ushdfgakk> god forbid i compile it from source
[05:33] <crimsun> libgtk2.0-0 should already be installed, ushdfgakk.
[05:34] <ushdfgakk> hmm...
[05:34] <crimsun> the source package is gtk+2.0
[05:34] <ushdfgakk> i have libgtk2.0-0
[05:34] <ushdfgakk> hm
[05:34] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: LOL!! From xp to Ubuntu, major performance boost! from Ubuntu x32 to x64, nothing that I could really tell... xp is almost as fast in its sandbox as it was whenit had the whole pc to itself!
[05:34] <crimsun> ushdfgakk: so what are you attempting to do, compile a GTK app?
[05:34] <ushdfgakk> yeah
[05:34] <crimsun> ushdfgakk: then you need libgtk2.0-dev
[05:35] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: My XP is lots faster viirtually than real.  No way I'm going back.
[05:35] <ushdfgakk> thx
[05:35] <ushdfgakk> it's got some dependencies but
[05:35] <ushdfgakk> that's sure a start
[05:35] <crimsun> ushdfgakk: what are you attempting to compile?
[05:35] <Almumin> http://www.gtk.org/download/
[05:35] <ushdfgakk> icontrol
[05:35] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: faster virtual? how do u do that!
[05:36] <ushdfgakk> "we learn from malpractice, not practice"
[05:36] <wirser> hmm volume control say I'm using the right card but alsamixer disagrees
[05:37] <WorkingOnWise> sean look for a checkbox in prefs somewhere to apply filters to mail already downloaded... I cant get to evolution atm so I cant be more specific, but its there.....
[05:37] <crimsun> wirser: alsamixer uses alsa-lib defaults.
[05:37] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: not difficult. the old XP was installed ages ago and despite careful management, takes 5 minutes to boot and the same to shut down.  You know how it starts off slow and gets slower over time? ^^
[05:37] <crimsun> wirser: that means: you may have configured the volume control to use a device that's not listed as the first (index 0)
[05:38] <crimsun> wirser: if that's the case, you need to pass -c# to alsamixer, where # is the index numeral
[05:38] <crimsun> wirser: e.g., `cat /proc/asound/cards`
[05:38] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: also I save the machine state and reboot rarely.
[05:39] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: ah..1 year is the longest I ever went with any flavor of windows except NT 4.0. Went 3 years and finally upgraded to Win 2000. Never did reinstall NT. They were headed the right direction with that,...
[05:40] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: doer the bootup from the machins stats save time? I imagined it was like hibernation.
[05:40] <WorkingOnWise> does
[05:40] <cyborg235> happy 2008 to all
[05:40] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: yeah lots of time
[05:40] <heartsblood> ditto
[05:41] <heartsblood> here's to hopping the us start WWIII ><
[05:41] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: hmmm...I'll have to play more with it then.
[05:41] <Smegzor> but even booting up normally its still quick atm
[05:43] <dcesiel_> Happy new year!!
[05:43] <WorkingOnWise> on my machine, giving xp 512, it's fast enough to allow me to use Office 2007 for supporting my clients, which is all I need it for. virtualbox was the last piece of the puzzle that got me out of windows forever  :D
[05:44] <technel> Trying to set up dual-monitors with Xinerama. X has trouble booting, then just goes into low-graphics mode (with cloning for 2nd monitor). Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d61ba682 -- any ideas? PLease!
[05:44] <alexbOrsova> Happy new year to you too!
[05:44] <Smegzor> Does anyone know how to get ClamAV to scan everything I download in Firefox etc? Not needed for my pc of course, just those less fortunate peeps still in Windows.
[05:45] <WorkingOnWise> btw....Misrosoft gave me Office 2007 Enterprises for going to their launch event :D Wasn't that nice of them?
[05:45] <alexbOrsova> On my laptop, even though there's no cd in the cd drive, the cd icon shows up on the desktop every few minutes and the cd player comes up trying to play the cd. How can I fix this?
[05:45] <ushdfgakk> they just want to make money WOW
[05:45] <wirser> crimsun: I was look at this -cat /proc/asound/cards  0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
[05:45] <wirser>                       HDA NVidia at 0xfebd8000 irq 20
[05:45] <wirser>  1 [AudioPCI       ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
[05:45] <wirser>                       Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xc880, irq 16
[05:45] <alexbOrsova> WorkingOnWise: only if you can return it for money :)
[05:46] <crimsun> wirser: and which device are you wanting to control?
[05:46] <Smegzor> WorkingOnWise: I purchased an MSDN license for $2,500.  Wasn't that nice of me? :O
[05:46] <WorkingOnWise> alexbOrsova: nah..I'll kep it. It'll be nice to show the bloat comparet to OO..   :)
[05:46] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: ouch!
[05:46] <Smegzor> and yet..  here I am dissing Windows ^^
[05:46] <wirser> crimsun: 1 the ensoniq
[05:47] <alexbOrsova> !noapic
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about noapic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: they make it so easy....who can blame us?
[05:47] <heartsblood> whats msdn?  Microsoft software developers network?
[05:47] <WorkingOnWise> heartsblood: yup
[05:47] <wirser> crimsun: i have /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base open atm if that will help
[05:47] <Smegzor> yep
[05:47] <heartsblood> $2500?  ouch
[05:48] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: do u do much with MS c++?
[05:48] <Smegzor> I needed Visual Studio .NET which was $2,300.  The other included that plus every MS OS so I went with that.
[05:48] <Smegzor> not a thing
[05:48] <Smegzor> Delphi, PHP, Apache, HTML, MySQL and a bit of MS Access.
[05:49] <Smegzor> I stopped needing .NET and dropped it like a stone
[05:49] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: did your license include Exchange 200(whateveris newest)?
[05:49] <Smegzor> don't think so.    Longhorn.  I didn't know Bill was into cod pieces.
[05:51] <Smegzor> explains why its so easy to catch stuff though.
[05:51] <billyoc> lol
[05:51] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: hehe...I liked 5.5. Saw 2000 and hated it. Now with google mail and cal, who needs it at all? But I like to compare the FOSS offerings to the commercial stuff. Nice to see the progress of the FOSS stuff while the commercial stuff gets service pack after service pack
[05:52] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: hehehe never thought of it like that...hehehe
[05:52] <Smegzor> I got hooked on Thunderbird and Firefox (back when that was Firebird).
[05:53] <WorkingOnWise> I lmao when I saw IE7 was to do tabbed browsing!
[05:53] <WorkingOnWise> I have used tabbed browsing for 10 years!
[05:54] <Smegzor> heh I visited the MS site for something while using Konqueror and got randomly selected to trial some browser thing XD
[05:54] <WorkingOnWise> I'll quit...uncle Billy is still trying to see where he went so wrong... Vista and Office 2007 on PC mags top 15 worst list and all....
[05:55] <Smegzor> at least MS are playing a little nicer with browsers.  I haven't been greeted with "You need IE for this" in ages.
[05:57] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: we can thank pressure from ff growth for that....
[05:58] <co_krenZ> hy
[06:00] <Smegzor> I'm very impressed with the progress of Wine.  Very little that I have tried doesn't work flawlessly.  I'm a little worried that Wine might enable a windows virus to do some harm, but I don't know if thats possible.
[06:01] <crimsun> run it as a different, unprivileged user.
[06:01] <walkies> hello
[06:01] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: akaik, wine is very sandboxed.
[06:01] <walkies> hey, I'
[06:01] <walkies> m having problems with the ubuntu live cd
[06:02] <walkies> it loads up but when it gets to X its blackscreens then the laptop just halts
[06:02] <Smegzor> hmm..  I don't know how to mix an match processes as different users.  If I'm logged in and I run stuff, is it not running with my privs?  I don't run them as root of course.
[06:02] <Amerio> guys where can I find a WLAN driver for AMilo LI 1718 ???????????/
[06:03] <walkies> do you guys think I could expect it to run probably if I installed it from the text-based install CD?
[06:03] <kazzmir[]> how can i change my screen resolution to 1280x1024? i tried adding it directly to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but ubuntu didnt take it
[06:03] <WorkingOnWise> Smegzor: many app (vbox fir example) run at least part of itself as a user, and then a process owned by that user.
[06:04] <n6hgg> should be under system/preferences/screen resolution
[06:04] <Smegzor> walkies: I had that problem with one pc and the alternate cd did the trick.  The black screen I was getting was due to a bug in splashy.  You can disable splashy in the grub menu.
[06:04] <n6hgg> from the dropdown on the top toolbar
[06:05] <walkies> alright, I shall take that in mind
[06:05] <Smegzor> walkies: if it is just the splashy bug, all you have to do is wait.  It returns when it reaches the login screen.
[06:05] <WorkingOnWise> walkies: i had that with my old laptop. i forgot how, but i passed noapic to the kernel and it loaded fine.
[06:06] <Smegzor> i've had no experience with laptop installs.  With a bit of luck I'll get an eePC this year.
[06:06] <WorkingOnWise> walkies: there is an option in the boot menu of the cd for additional kernek parms, if i remember....
[06:07] <walkies> lemme try that
[06:07] <WorkingOnWise> if not, the alternate cd is an option...but i like pretty gui's
[06:07] <walkies> apic seems to be buggy at best, right now I have debian installed and it fails to come back from hibernation
[06:07] <WorkingOnWise> yup
[06:08] <walkies> well, I know the CD is good, I'd like to at least prove that it _will_ work before commiting
[06:08] <walkies> I'll try noacpi
[06:08] <WorkingOnWise> been like that for a while....
[06:08] <WorkingOnWise> good luck
[06:11] <walkies> moment of truth
[06:11] <billenium> viva la ubuntu!
[06:11] <WorkingOnWise> hehe...ok
[06:12] <walkies> brutal, just turns off :D
[06:12] <siimo> hi im wondering where to find backports for apps.. offical  backports repo seems to be only useless stuff
[06:13] <penguinguy1234> happy new year everyone!
[06:13] <shadylookin> anyone know how to set up dual monitors if one is a DVI and the other is VGA? I had it working previously with 2 VGAs
[06:13] <siimo> shadylookin: gfx card?
[06:14] <shadylookin> hmm?
[06:14] <shadylookin> my video card is dvi, but i have a converter for my vga monitor
[06:15] <penguinguy1234> sda
[06:15] <siimo> model?
[06:15] <shadylookin> nvidia 8600 gts
[06:15] <shadylookin> made by PNY
[06:16] <Eds> Is there a Daemon Tools type program for Ubuntu?
[06:17] <Eds> It allows you to mount ISO/BIN files as a virtual CD-Rom drive
[06:17] <redd0t> you dont need it. you can just mount the images with the -o loop option with mount
[06:17] <redd0t> or something like that
[06:17] <Eds> Yeah, but its so nice not having to go to command line to do it, right click, mount and its done :/
[06:18] <siimo> but commandline is your friend
[06:18] <Eds> Sometimes, but if im rushing or tired it can be a pain in the ass :)
[06:18] <shadylookin> so does anyone know how to use dual monitors with one monitor being a VGA and the other being a DVI
[06:19] <u_angel> hello all welcome to the new year
[06:19] <cabrioleur> shadylookin, the same way as normal, nvidia-settings.
[06:19] <siimo> then make a script and place its icon on desktop if u wish
[06:19] <cabrioleur> btw, happy new &^%$ yesr
[06:20] <siimo> leap year too woot
[06:20] <shadylookin> how do i get to the nvidia settings? i had to edit the xorg.conf file by hand last time?
[06:20] <cabrioleur> shadylookin, no, you didn't. just run nvidia-settings.
[06:20] <WorkingOnWise> walkies: so no joy?
[06:23] <wam_> Greatings all (and happy NY).  I figured I'd upgrade to Gutsy tonight, and have run into issues... X isn't coming up. Failing on load of module Type. On a feisty system, I see that libtype.so is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but it doesn't seem to be in that package on Gutsy. Any suggestions?
[06:24] <wam_> sorry, module Type1
[06:25] <wam_> hello?
[06:25] <jescis> HNY!!!!!!111
[06:26]  * penguinguy1234 is using Pidgin v2.2.1.
[06:27] <nickrud> Eds, gisomount does that for you
[06:27] <wirser> well I connected to sound card 0 and verified working sound but I'll need to some research into how to get sound card to work as default thank to all who tried to help
[06:27] <nickrud> Eds, well, sorta
[06:27] <quittt> argh
[06:27] <siimo> pidgin 2.3.1 has been out for weeks
[06:27] <quittt> translating is a very hard job!
[06:28] <FantasticFoo> hey there... it would seem that the latest ati proprietary driver that you can download from their site is v7.12, but i read somewhere online that they came out with v8.24
[06:28] <wirser> to all a Happy New Year
[06:28] <FantasticFoo> anyone know where to get this driver version?
[06:28] <crdlb> FantasticFoo: they've renumbered
[06:28] <FantasticFoo> crdlb: oh, ok. so v7.12 would be as up to date as possible then?
[06:29] <nickrud> FantasticFoo, the 7.12 is also known as 8.443
[06:29] <crdlb> FantasticFoo: starting with 7.11 last month (which was also 8.43)
[06:29] <crdlb> yeah
[06:29] <FantasticFoo> oh ok, thanks
[06:29] <rathel_> I've been searching Google, but haven't found a good answer, How do I convert MPEG-1 video to Xvid?
[06:30] <cabrioleur> rathel, mencoder.
[06:30] <wam_> I figured I'd upgrade to Gutsy tonight, and have run into issues... X isn't coming up. Failing on load of module Type1. On a feisty system, I see that libtype1.so is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but it doesn't seem to be in that package on Gutsy. Any suggestions?
[06:30] <rathel_> cabrioleur, Figures, what switched do I use, It's very confusing.
[06:31] <nickrud> wam_, try running sudo apt-get -f install && apt-get dist-upgrade   , sounds like your upgrade didn't complete
[06:32] <nickrud> wam_, sudo on the second command also, of course ;0
[06:32] <cabrioleur> wam_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:32] <siimo> this is old but for you sudo fans: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png
[06:32] <wam_> I get clean replies from dist-upgrade
[06:33] <nickrud> wam_, if cabrioleur 's works, it would be faster. And don't forget the apt-get -f install
[06:33] <johnny_> can someone help me with an error i keep getting "invoke-rc.d: initscript and, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing and (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing "
[06:33] <u_angel> is there software that will make my 2 120gb HDs look like one 240gb?
[06:33] <johnny_> apt-get install wont work
[06:33] <johnny_> E: and: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:33] <nickrud> johnny_, put the complete error from   sudo apt-get -f install    on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:33] <johnny_> does anyone know how to fix this
[06:33] <johnny_> thats all it says nickrud
[06:34] <gopodge> siimo : Good cartoon!
[06:34] <nickrud> johnny_, no, it's gonna tell me what package it was on also
[06:34] <wam_> which package is libtype1.so located on in gutsy though? I mean, dkpg -L doesn't show it in xserver-xorg-core, where it was before
[06:34] <johnny_> its any package
[06:34] <johnny_> i think something is wrong with dpkg
[06:35] <cabrioleur> johnny_, don't panic
[06:35] <nickrud> johnny_, paste everything, including the  line where you invoke       sudo apt-get -f install
[06:35] <nickrud> johnny_, I've fixed many of these, don't sweat it
[06:35] <WorkingOnWise> how can I reduce the number of tty's that autoload from 6 to 2?
[06:35] <nickrud> WorkingOnWise, remove tty 3-6 from /etc/event.d
[06:36] <WorkingOnWise> nickrud: k. ty
[06:36] <cabrioleur> WorkingOnWise, remove them from /etc/securetty as well.
[06:37] <nickrud> cabrioleur, if the tty's don't exist, that doesn't apply
[06:37] <johnny_> ps -e
[06:38] <WorkingOnWise> nickrud: wher would my xserver be after this? tty3?
[06:38] <johnny_> nickrud, can i just paste it in a pm?
[06:38] <johnny_> pastebin wont work
[06:38] <nickrud> johnny_, put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org the more eyes the better
[06:39] <siimo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com is good oto
[06:40] <johnny_> pastbin says enable javascripts but i have it enabled nickrud
[06:40] <WorkingOnWise> nickrud: where would my xserver be after this? tty3? or does it stay on tty7?
[06:40] <cabrioleur> nickrud, yes, but it's a security breach.
[06:40] <nickrud> johnny_, try the other pastebin that siimo gave
[06:40] <cabrioleur> wam_, you don't need libtype1.so
[06:40] <nickrud> cabrioleur, security is good, true
[06:41]  * nickrud considers removing 7 - 12
[06:41] <nickrud> WorkingOnWise, I'm not sure if X is invoking tty7 directly or not, it can go either way
[06:41] <johnny_> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1d2c5b10 nickrud
[06:41] <cabrioleur> nickrud, I have 23 of them, so 7 - 12 are essential :-)
[06:42] <wam_> ok, well the dpkg reconfigure seemed to help, I'm no longer getting the Errors trying to load module Type1; however, I am now getting all kinds of xkbcomp errors, which have locked the screen. bleh.
[06:42] <cabrioleur> nickrud, it should go to the first empty one.
[06:42]  * nickrud 's eyes cross at the thought of switching thru 23 vc's
[06:42] <WorkingOnWise> 23 tty's?
[06:42] <cabrioleur> nickrud, slackware for instance leaves only 6th open for 4th level, so it's still f7.
[06:43] <cabrioleur> WorkingOnWise, sure. How do you work without them? Screen?
[06:43] <nickrud> johnny_, ok, now we know it's the autonice daemon, you didn't include that part in the error report :)
[06:43] <johnny_> k
[06:44] <johnny_> do you have any idea how to fix it?
[06:44] <WorkingOnWise> cabrioleur: wow....I do almost everything in a terminal inside the gui. I almost never even use the ty's, except for a compile, or repairins the system when the gui is fubar.
[06:44] <nickrud> johnny_, I have to admit I've never seen that before. I've seen that error in other contexts. cabrioleur you familiar with how the autonice daemon works, cuz I sure don't
[06:45] <nickrud> *now
[06:45] <WorkingOnWise> I am a longtime Windows Dog. I can get around the cli, and some things I even prefer it, but generally, I'm gui all the way....
[06:45] <nickrud> cabrioleur, ok on the X. I've invoked it on specific ttys, but wasn't sure if ubuntu was or was not
[06:45] <sas171> happy new year?
[06:46] <johnny_> what is the auto nice daemon?
[06:46] <johnny_> can i just reinstall it?
[06:46] <WorkingOnWise> sas171: are u Saskia?
[06:46] <sas171> WorkingOnWise: nope, sorry
[06:47] <WorkingOnWise> sas171: k. np. happy new year nun-the-less!
[06:48] <WorkingOnWise> cabrioleur: what do u do with all those vc's?
[06:48] <nickrud> johnny_, a sec or two
[06:48] <Ein_> hi
[06:49] <johnny_> k
[06:49] <Ein_> did any one try to use this software virtualbox?
[06:49] <Sonicadvance1> Hello, I'm using wireless internet, and each time I restart, I have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to get it to get an ip from my router using DHCP. What do you make it so I don't have to do this after each restart?
[06:49] <soreau> Ein_: yes
[06:50] <WorkingOnWise> Ein_: yup.
[06:50] <Ein_> cool
[06:50] <reiko> can anyone help conncet to adsl. i run pppeoconf and it cant find anything , but when plugged to an XP box there is no oproblem...
[06:50] <cabrioleur> WorkingOnWise, I'm working on it. I'm more productive in tty's. I wish I had an access to jonny_'s pc.
[06:50] <ubud> what is website for medibubuntu?
[06:50] <Ein_> cuz I was trying to install windows XP but I can't press F8 inside the software
[06:51] <astro76> !medibuntu | ubud
[06:51] <ubotu> ubud: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[06:51] <soreau> Ein_: You will need to read more, it works fine
[06:51] <ubud> ...
[06:51] <WorkingOnWise> cabrioleur: cant imagine being more probuctive in vc's, but i guess it is simular to having 5 sides on a compiz-fusion cube, huh?
[06:52] <Ein_> from where I can read more about it?
[06:52] <cabrioleur> WorkingOnWise, something like it. I guess it's what I'm used to.
[06:52] <soreau> Ein_: What distro?
[06:52] <cabrioleur> johnny_, do you even have and?
[06:52] <johnny_> idk
[06:52] <johnny_> should i?
[06:53] <soreau> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox ein_
[06:53] <johnny_> it says i have it installed
[06:53] <WorkingOnWise> Ein_: as soon as the virtual machine starts, click anywhere in the black portion. This will allow VB to take control of your mouse and keyboard. Then, when u hit f8, it wil be caught by the vb "computer". hit the right control key to release the mouse and keyboard.
[06:53] <cabrioleur> johnny_, remove it.
[06:53] <reiko> can anyone help with pppeo conncetion?
[06:53] <cabrioleur> johnny_, dpkg -r and
[06:54] <cabrioleur> reiko, and what's the question?
[06:54] <david__> im on gutsy and my updater isnt letting me update
[06:54] <david__> i try
[06:54] <johnny_> removed cabrioleur
[06:54]  * nickrud is suprised to find one of the few autonice ubuntu refs has his name in it
[06:54] <triplicate> im running a slax livecd and i want to completely nuke and reformat everything on my drive... whats the easiest way to do this?
[06:54] <david__> sudo apt-get update and it doesnt work
[06:54] <cabrioleur> johnny_, try if it works now.
[06:55] <Ein_> even if I am inside the program I can't press F8 but all others keys works fine
[06:55] <reiko> cabrioleur, i run pppeoconfig and it cant find anything , but on thois XP there is no problem
[06:55] <zdux00tv> david__: I'm not the person to ask,, but check your disk space
[06:55] <cabrioleur> reiko, do you have drivers for your modem?
[06:55] <sigra> I just switch from fedora 8 to ubuntu..ubuntu is ALOT harder to set up lan network with win box then Fedora 8.. I been at it for hours and googling and still cannot get to my shared windows box or visa versa
[06:55] <johnny_> yes working great now CaBa\
[06:55] <johnny_> cabrioleur*
[06:55] <johnny_> thanks a bunch
[06:56] <WorkingOnWise> Ein do u mean u press f8 and do not get the boot menu?
[06:56] <johnny_> you too nickrud
[06:56] <david__> 8gig free and the problem is it isnt getting the update lists
[06:56] <reiko> cabrioleur, i dont know. its adsl . windows only
[06:56] <nickrud> johnny_, np, but it's nice having experts around occasionally, isn't it :)
[06:56] <david__> i cant connect to the internet without using Open DNS
[06:56] <david__> and dissabling ipv6
[06:56] <cabrioleur> reiko, can you give me the model?
[06:56] <johnny_> i'll say
[06:56] <johnny_> i thought i wouldnt be able to install anything
[06:57] <reiko> cabrioleur, of the modem?
[06:57] <spdf> Experts? HA! ( :D )
[06:57] <cabrioleur> reiko, yes.
[06:57] <il3dsm> can anyone help me set up a wireless connection on ubuntu server edition?
[06:57] <norv> is there a reason why sometimes an entry in fstab doesn't get mounted, yet when done like mount /dev/sdb2 it works?
[06:57] <reiko> cabrioleur, just a sec
[06:58] <spdf> norv, what does your fstab line look like?
[06:58] <spdf> norv,
[06:58] <norv> spdf: UUID=cfad5c7e-69f0-45dc-b13e-1237819feb20 /docs ext3 defaults 0 0
[06:58] <norv> (which UUID = /dev/sdb2, for now)
[06:59] <reiko> cabrioleur, how do i find out? im on XP ..the modem says [home access}
[06:59] <sauvin> Happy New Year!
[06:59] <cabrioleur> reiko, I know nothing about xp. Try in hardware manager or something like that.
[07:00] <cabrioleur> Happy New Year sauvin !!!!!!!
[07:00] <Ein_> cool
[07:00] <Ein_> it's work now
[07:00] <norv> btw, is there a reason to use bind instead of symlinks?
[07:01] <cabrioleur> norv, change the first 0 to 2.
[07:01] <norv> cabrioleur: thanks
[07:01] <norv> cabrioleur: what does dump do anyway?
[07:01] <xcst> i have a phone and i connect it to my laptop, i am using gutsy but my system doesnt recognize the phone, i want to access the mass storage of the phone
[07:02] <reiko> cabrioleur, sorry, i catually know nothing about XPas well....
[07:02] <david__> so can anyone help?
[07:03] <norv> xcst: try searching for obex.. I don't know much about that
[07:03] <xcst> norv,  whats obex
[07:03] <cabrioleur> norv, sorry, I'm a little drunk. Dump suggest backup, if 0 then null, Leave it at 0 and change the second to 2.
[07:03] <norv> xcst: bluetooth stuffs
[07:03] <norv> cabrioleur: oh, pass, makes more sense
[07:04] <norv> cabrioleur: new years eve eh
[07:04] <cabrioleur> norv, yup
[07:04] <cabrioleur> reiko, right click on my computer and pick preferences.
[07:05] <spdf> That'd just change the order in which its checked by fsck, that shouldn't effect whether or not its mounted on boot..
[07:05] <norv> spdf: how can I make sure it gets mounted at some point on boot?
[07:05] <spdf> It should be mounted on boot, it defaults to auto
[07:06] <david__> guys
[07:06] <david__> do u know where i can get the network manager fix offline
[07:06] <norv> spdf: I broke my homedir into 2 directories because I have so little disk space (4gb main, 3gb external)
[07:06] <cabrioleur> spdf, according to man, root should be 0, and only root. It actually affects which one is mounted first.
[07:06] <reiko> cabrioleur, i cant find the modem there. can i find through ubuntu?
[07:06] <spdf> cabrioleur, you win this round
[07:06] <cabrioleur> reiko, sure
[07:07] <reiko> cabrioleur, how?
[07:07] <cabrioleur> reiko, the command to find your devices is "sudo lspci" try to find something that resembles your modem.
[07:07] <spdf> Oddly enough it says root should be 1, and all others 2. No option or 0 implies it shouldn't be checked
[07:08] <reiko> the strange  thing is that it connects perfectly on XP but on Ubuntu it cannot find anything when i run pppeoconfig
[07:08] <cabrioleur> spdf, yeah, as I said, I'm a little drunk.
[07:08] <WorkingOnWise> reiko: use "sudo lspci | more" it's easier to read it a page at a time. hit return to go th the next page.
[07:09] <triplicate> im running a liveCD that I want to install on a partition that I just created. How do I do that?
[07:09] <cabrioleur> WorkingOnWise, shift + page up/down works too.
[07:09] <reiko> WorkingOnWise, ok - switchiong the connec ttion to Ubuntu ,pls wait ffor me..
[07:10] <norv> triplicate: should have an install option
[07:10] <spdf> triplicate, there's an application on the desktop labeled "Install", go through the steps and select the partition you've created. It will want to create a swap partition, if you haven't done that already
[07:10] <cabrioleur> triplicate, the next step shoud be make it mount as /
[07:10] <WorkingOnWise> cabrioleur: didnt know that. | more is a dos trick. thanks. :)
[07:10] <WorkingOnWise> reiko: k
[07:11] <norv> yeah use less, which is better than more. I had a botched Ubuntu install that was missing less once...
[07:11] <spdf> WorkingOnWise, some people prefer less to more, its not always available though
[07:11] <Hemebond> Anyone here?
[07:11] <norv> is there a best way to make a "secondary home directory"?
[07:11] <wweasel> !question > Hemebond
[07:11] <m64bit> woot! got my 64bit ubuntu up!
[07:12] <Hemebond> I was playing with additional X sessions and now I can't run anything.
[07:12] <WorkingOnWise> spdf: more and less is a seperate app in Linux?
[07:12] <norv> WorkingOnWise: of course
[07:12] <younger_elder> anyone using one of those asus eee?
[07:12] <norv> younger_elder: with xubuntu, yes
[07:12] <reiko_> cabrioleur, i cannot see the router from ubuntu
[07:12] <WorkingOnWise> wow...everything is its own app! kewl
[07:13] <david__> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
[07:13] <spdf> younger_elder, as soon as it gets here! Can't wwait
[07:13] <cabrioleur> reiko, that's bed, very bed. Do you have a sticker on the bottom of it?
[07:13] <wweasel> david__: All caps = obnoxious
[07:13] <reiko_> cabrioleur, you neab the router?
[07:13] <norv> spdf: younger_elder: graphics is open source, the powermanagement not so, and networking. but it works well
[07:13] <david__> ok sorry
[07:13] <david__> but can someone help me
[07:13] <cabrioleur> reiko, whatever you use to connect to pppoe
[07:13] <david__> i dont get what is wrong
[07:13] <wweasel> !ask | david__
[07:13] <ubotu> david__: Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:14] <younger_elder> yeah i just got mine up and running, whats the deal with the battery life estimation though though
[07:14] <norv> younger_elder: just an estimation
[07:14] <WorkingOnWise> bed time everyone. gn. :)
[07:14] <cabrioleur> david__, where are the error outputs?
[07:14] <wam_> ok, getting closer with my X problem....  now I can launch my X server... I even see the NVIDIA splash, but I get a bunch of errors 'expected keysym, got XF86_Switch
[07:14] <younger_elder> does it get more accurate?
[07:14] <cabrioleur> david__, does it stall during download?
[07:14] <david__> i cant update anything (apt-get doesnt work)  i try apt-get update but it doesnt download the updates
[07:14] <david__> ok when i type ing sudo apt-get update this is what i get
[07:14] <reiko_> cabrioleur, mmm there is a sticker ...
[07:15] <wweasel> david__: don't paste it all!
[07:15] <wam_> Plus, I get warnings from xkbcomp
[07:15] <david__> sudo apt-get update
[07:15] <wweasel> !pastebin
[07:15] <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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[07:15] <david__> Reading package lists... Done
[07:15] <david__> no its not much
[07:15] <wweasel> david__: Stop.
[07:15] <david__> thats it
[07:15] <cabrioleur> david, stop!!!!
[07:15] <reiko_> cabrioleur, since i am in china , maybe i should try the chinese irc...
[07:15] <david__> thats all it does
[07:15] <norv> younger_elder: perhaps, I have seen slightly more accurate readings. that's not the important part for me, just that it says it's going to die soon
[07:15] <Onyx> david__: Whereabouts in NZ are ya?
[07:15] <wweasel> david__: Have you commented out repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:16] <david__> auckland
[07:16] <david__> what
[07:16] <david__> this is a fresh install of ubuntu
[07:16] <reiko_> !chinese
[07:16] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[07:16] <cabrioleur> reiko, it may help too. Greetings to china on this beautiful morning from somehow sleepy poland.
[07:17] <wweasel> david__: Could you pastebin the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:17] <norv> younger_elder: oh, and btw. when plugged in the number does not mean anything to me. so if that's what you're seeing
[07:17] <m64bit> how are the ati drivers on ubuntu?
[07:17] <david__> havent done anything to it but install the nvidia driver and used open DNS rather then <IP_ADDRESS> because of a bug that wont let me using internet otherwise
[07:17] <david__> ok
[07:18] <norv> ati drivers are IMO the worst in all linux, nvidia slightly better but very spotty. intel works the best, as far as stability
[07:18] <david__> everything in that file has a # in the front
[07:18] <david__> im guessing its comented out?
[07:18] <norv> Ubuntu was the only distro to get a box of mine using ati to work well at all
[07:18] <wweasel> david__: That will be the problem. Yep!
[07:19] <cabrioleur> david__, check the sources.list as wweasel suggested. It looks like you don't have any repos in it.
[07:19] <reiko_> cabrioleur, happy new year. i am very drunk, but need to connect to pppoe
[07:19] <wweasel> david__: If you'd like I can look at it. You can either PM me and past it, or put it in a pastebin
[07:20] <norv> reiko_: hence the reason i alias rm to mv.. drunkeness
[07:20] <norv> or sleep drpevation
[07:21] <AlinuxOS> Happy New Year - C новым годом - გილოცავთ ახალ წელს - Felice Anno Nuovo
[07:21] <cabrioleur> AlinuxOS, Happy New Year too!
[07:21] <Nikyo> Happy Open Source New Year :-)
[07:21] <AlinuxOS> ;)
[07:21] <wweasel> "You should never use sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs" - Why?
[07:22] <wweasel> 25 years of TCP/IP :D
[07:22] <david__> wweasel wont let me PM because im not regd but ill tell you how it turns out in a sec
[07:22] <crdlb> !gksudo | wweasel
[07:22] <ubotu> wweasel: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[07:22] <david__> seams to update nwo :D
[07:23] <norv> who knows if there is a good way to "split" home directories, like having a /home/<user>/extdocs ?
[07:24] <norv> where extdocs is on another disk, due to space consideration
[07:24] <astro76> norv, all you have to do is make /home/user/extdocs and mount the partition there
[07:25] <norv> astro76: well, I guess all I need is per user now, since it's a single user box
[07:25] <wweasel> norv: I do that myself! I'd recommend using symlinks.
[07:25] <norv> astro76: so that'll work
[07:25] <norv> wweasel: you mean symlinks over bind?
[07:25] <norv> wweasel: over => instead of
[07:25] <astro76> norv, or just mount it to /media/something and make a symlink to it in your home
[07:26] <norv> astro76: ah, that
[07:26] <wweasel> norv: I'm not familiar with bind.
[07:26] <Hammer89> anyone know what the best way is to delete the hidden restoration partition included with my toshiba? (with the intent of expanding my primary partition to occupy the newly released space)
[07:26] <wweasel> Hammer89: GUI or CLI?
[07:26] <norv> wweasel: it's useful in chroots not sure what else. it's a mount option
[07:27] <wam_> so, I have X launching and gdm up running, but whenever I type a character, my resolution changes. I have xkcomp warnings of the form: expected keysym, got XF86_Switch. Any ideas?
[07:27] <Hammer89> wweasel: If there's a way to do it from the GUI... that's best... but CLI is fine too
[07:27] <cabrioleur> Hammer89, check if it doesn't violates the warranty agreement first.
[07:27] <david__> can anyone else here use thier number pad
[07:28] <wweasel> Hammer89: Nice GUI app is GParted, in the terminal you could use fdisk
[07:28] <cabrioleur> david__, sure.
[07:28] <david__> why cant i
[07:28] <cabrioleur> Hammer89, or cfdisk, more "friendly"
[07:28] <wweasel> david__: Silly question, but have you checked numlock? :P
[07:28] <wam_> Hammer89: or cfdisk if you like curses
[07:28] <rp_> 654654654 my number pad
[07:28] <Hammer89> lol
[07:28] <ackbahr> hello! I'd like my sound volume to reset to "mute" on startup (or shutdown, whatever).How should I do this?
[07:28] <david__> every time i press a nummber it beeps. yea its enabled thats what i thought
[07:28] <norv> gparted is friendlier more than just GUI
[07:29] <david__> ill wait for the updates to finish then bother you guys about it
[07:29] <norv> if you don't get every little number right in fdisk you can screw things up
[07:29] <m64bit> I'm running ubuntu on my external hardrive. It's pretty fast
[07:29] <wweasel> never used cfdisk...it's cool
[07:29] <rp_> ackbahr good question, I don't know, maybe someone else will
[07:30] <ackbahr> rp_: I'll let you know if they do
[07:30] <norv> ackbahr: it usually saves with your session I think
[07:30] <rp_> k
[07:30] <wweasel> norv: Ah. Well, I'd simply mount the partition as usual in /media/foo, and then use symlinks to connect any folders you want. I do that personally on my computer. (I like having a data partition).
[07:30] <Greevous> does anyone know if the last.fm app can scrobble the songs listened to in rhythmbox or amarok?
[07:30] <norv> ackbahr: so just mute it and logout cleanly, making sure you are saving sessions
[07:31] <wweasel> Greevous: Amarok has last.fm built in.
[07:31] <rp_> norv : good idea, and good point.....
[07:31] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, you will get the answer when I write it down :-)
[07:31] <johnny_> how do i make mozilla-mplayer plugin work?
[07:31] <Greevous> wweasel: oh sweet, thanks
[07:31] <lonejack> hi all, Just simple question, does somebody know where ubuntu stores session info? For example, on session I set: launch ekiga, tomboy notes, etc.. So where these instructions are stored? Thank you. P.S. happy new year...
[07:31] <norv> wweasel: yeah, mine /has/ to be done, because it's not a partition
[07:31] <ackbahr> norv: Yep, but the point is precisely that I usually forget to do this...
[07:31] <norv> wweasel: well, technically it is..
[07:31] <wweasel> norv: What do you mean?
[07:32] <norv> wweasel: 4gb external flash drive, 4gb internal flash drive
[07:32] <norv> wweasel: no space for partitioning
[07:32] <wweasel> ackbahr: I know it's definitely possible by writing a script and putting it in the correct place.
[07:32] <Ubuntuser07> Hello?
[07:32] <Ubuntuser07> I need help on ubuntu
[07:32] <wweasel> !ask
[07:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:32] <Ubuntuser07> What?
[07:32] <wam_> lonejack: their are several places you could store, but if you use the desktop app for specifying sessions, the info is going to get recorded into gnome's gnarly set of config files/hive/registry thing.
[07:32] <Ubuntuser07> Im new to this.
[07:33] <lonejack> wam_: thank you
[07:33] <wam_> lonejack: if you want to add something to add to your session itself, it might be easier to add it to something like .xinitrc or .xsession.
[07:33] <ackbahr> Ubuntuser07: That's precisely why the Bot wanted to teach you this -- just ask straightaway, people *know* you're here because you need help with Ubuntu.... :)
[07:34] <wweasel> norv: Well, symlinks should be perfect for your situation.
[07:34] <norv> wweasel: yeah, that'll work perfect, thanks
[07:34] <norv> is there a way to cd in irssi?
[07:35] <rp_> norv DSL in fruggal mode?  Fanless setup?  Nice?
[07:35] <Ttech> cd/ its an irc client?
[07:35] <Ubuntuser07> My wireless driver don't work
[07:35] <lonejack> wam_: do you mean to edit that files?
[07:35] <norv> Ttech: /cd /home/norv isn't working, stuck in a drive i wanted to unmount. guess i'll just close
[07:35] <wam_> lonejack:  that's one way to do it. hard to say for sure since you really didn't give much of what you wanted to do
[07:36] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, ready? There is going to be a small mod in /etc/init.d
[07:36] <figuringout> i was wondering if someone had a package name for tomcat6
[07:36] <ackbahr> wweasel: That's what I figure out as well, the point being 1) I can't make scripts 2) I wouldn't know what to put in it anyway 3) I would need help to run it on startup....
[07:36] <Ubuntuser07> Hello?
[07:37] <figuringout> how can I apt-get tomcat?
[07:37] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: I'm all tuned up!
[07:37] <norv> rp_: oh, the asus eee, is that what you're asking about?
[07:37] <wweasel> ackbahr: Hmm. Well, I have the various scattered knowledge to do it, I'd just need to figure it out with you
[07:37] <wweasel> ackbahr: Sounds like a good challenge before bedtime.
[07:37] <johnny_> whats a program that will let me download video ?
[07:37] <johnny_> or save movies to my harddrive
[07:38] <figuringout> johnny_ : what kind f video?
[07:38] <rp_> norv yes, thinking about getting one myself just for fun, they look neat..
[07:38] <u_angel> room, what do i need to install to make my bluetooth usb adapter to work?
[07:38] <ackbahr> wweasel: looks like cabrioleur is already going to lead me through this.... But thank you anyway!
[07:38] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, let's edit /etc/init.d/halt
[07:38] <norv> rp_: oh it's got fans but you really have to hold your ear to it to hear
[07:38] <johnny_> like off tv-links.co
[07:38] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: I'm there
[07:38] <Ubuntuser07> What do I do to make my wireless drivers work?
[07:38] <johnny_> full length movies
[07:38] <Ubuntuser07> I followed all guides
[07:38] <rp_> I thought you might be trying a mini with NO fans, that might be my next project with DSL, and compact flash to IDE...
[07:38] <johnny_> or flash
[07:39] <Hemebond> "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." < Anyone know what to do with this?
[07:39] <Hemebond> Trying to start another X session.
[07:39] <johnny_> is there a stand alone flash player out yet?
[07:39] <norv> rp_: no moving disks
[07:39] <u_angel> can anyone help with 7.10 + bluetooth?
[07:39] <Codename> Hi I'm sorry this is Ubuntu
[07:39] <Codename> but what is the package name for rar
[07:39] <Codename> on Fedora
[07:39] <rp_> yes kewl.  Just CF neat stuff.  Fast to boot to I bet.
[07:39] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, or easier, go to /etc/rc.0
[07:39] <Codename> Anything like rar for fedora
[07:39] <xcst> im using ubuntu gutsy, and i want to be able to connect to the internet using gprs provided by my server, can somebody help
[07:39] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, rc0.d
[07:39] <wweasel> Codename: Have you tried #fedora?
[07:39] <norv> rp_: sort of, their custom one was faster, but I didn't research it and trashed it.
[07:40] <jeezers> hi! i need to install the driver for my geforce card, can someone help?
[07:40] <Codename> no
[07:40] <Codename> sorry
[07:40] <norv> rp_: xubuntu is fast enough to boot, compiz works wonders
[07:40] <Ubuntuser07> BOT
[07:40] <zhan_zr> Codename:  You can just go to rar site to download the source package.
[07:40] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, create a file in it "sudo touch mute_sound"
[07:40] <norv> rp_: can't say whether it's /faster/ with compiz, but it is no slower
[07:40] <norv> rp_: and easier to work, desktop panel and such
[07:40] <rp_> really compwiz sweet...make sure to document what you figure out just in case I try it some time..
[07:40] <u_angel> anyone know of a compatible usb bluetooth adapter?
[07:40] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: ok
[07:41] <u_angel> jeezers: look into "envy"
[07:41] <rp_> !bluetooth
[07:41] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[07:41] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: I don't have a /etc/rc.0
[07:41] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, /etc/rc0.d
[07:41] <norv> rp_: you need madwifi-ng patched for networking, and a way to use the apt-cdrom to get build-essential (I just put iso on jump drive, and a special boot loader)
[07:41] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: ah, ok, sorry.
[07:41] <jeezers> sorry, but i dont get you. . .
[07:42] <wweasel> Codename: For example, in ubuntu the package is called "unrar"
[07:42] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: done
[07:42] <norv> rp_: graphics is easy because it's intel, and no flicker like my "powerful desktop replacement"
[07:42] <crdlb> jeezers: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[07:42] <cabrioleur> u_angel, envy is not supported!
[07:42] <u_angel> rp_: those instructions are wrong. they say just plug it in but nothing happends
[07:42] <rp_> norv good stuff
[07:42] <jeezers> i downloaded this package from nvidia.com and tried running it, but it shows some error. . .
[07:42] <u_angel> cabrioleur: what do you mean not supported? not supported here?
[07:42] <Codename__> it wont let me join
[07:42] <xcst> im using ubuntu gutsy, and i want to be able to connect to the internet using gprs provided by my server, can somebody help
[07:42] <Codename__> if anyone can help me with RAR for Fedora
[07:43] <Codename__> it would be greatly appreciated
[07:43] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, create a file called K05mute "sudo touch K05mute"
[07:43] <Codename__> the package name
[07:43] <norv> of course the proprietary drivers aren't supported either. envy is just worse
[07:43] <figuringout> i need a ubuntu package to apt-get tomcat6, any ideas?
[07:43] <cabrioleur> u_angel, in ubuntu
[07:43] <rp_> jeezers look for envy to help
[07:43] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: ok
[07:43] <johnny_> can someone help me get mozilla-mplayer working
[07:43] <lonejack> wam_: I wanted to discover that question because I've two problem. The first is that when the system start it launches ekiga(but I erased it from session, so I don't understand why it's launched). The second much important, is that sometimes the system doesn't switch off at shutdown phase. These problem started when I had taken the bad decision to get in to session... That's why
[07:43] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, now the fun part, lets write a small script. "gksudo K05mute"
[07:43] <jeezers> what/who is envy??
[07:43] <u_angel> cabrioleur: what are you talking about? i have envy on my ubuntu 7.10 box for my ati x1300
[07:44] <Codename__> rar for Fedora?
[07:44] <jeezers> :|
[07:44] <wweasel> Codename: Package names in Ubuntu are: rar and unrar respectively. We can't really say if that's the same for Fedora
[07:44] <johnny_> there is just a gray square where mplayer should be
[07:44] <u_angel> jeezers: envy is the only way i got my VidCard to work after trying everything
[07:44] <rp_> jeezers : http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[07:44] <cabrioleur> u_angel, lucky you. envy is not supported by ubuntu. and it causes a lot of problems for a lot of people.
[07:44] <jeezers> will check it out, thanks
[07:44] <crdlb> jeezers: don't do that, just use system>administration>restricted dri vers manager
[07:44] <rp_> not supported?
[07:45] <u_angel> rp_: so any help with bluetooth? that page is wrong
[07:45] <churka> Hey guys
[07:45] <crdlb> don't recommend envy in this channel please
[07:45] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, type "#! /bin/bash"
[07:45] <jeezers> no, the thing is, i want to install it from the package i downloaded!
[07:45] <u_angel> ok, sorry room, no envy
[07:45] <crdlb> jeezers: that's a bad idea
[07:45] <crdlb> why do you want that specific version?
[07:45] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, then "amixer sset Master 0%" in new line.
[07:45] <jeezers> oh. . . wy?
[07:45] <norv> can one go out and buy an intel gfx, or are those only built into main boards now?
[07:45] <churka> Hey DR.VISTA, YOU HERE??????????????/
[07:46] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Should I be editing K05mute?
[07:46] <churka> DR.VISTA, YOU HERE MAN?
[07:46] <hou5ton> geeezzzz .... anyone know why I can watch video anywhere and everywhere EXCEPT on Fox News?
[07:46] <wweasel> !caps
[07:46] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:46] <crdlb> norv: currently only integrated, but dedicated cards are planned
[07:46] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, yes "gksudo gedit K05mute"
[07:46] <hou5ton> I get the sound, but no picture
[07:46] <norv> crdlb: sure hope they don't go proprietary too
[07:46] <Onyx> Lupe Fiasco's The Cool is incredible...
[07:46] <ackbahr> ah, I hadn't typed the "gedit", so of course.... :)
[07:46] <u_angel> ok, i guess i should quit trying to get bluettoth on ubuntu. the damn instalation page is all wrong
[07:46] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, type "#! /bin/bash"
[07:46] <wweasel> hou5ton: Probably has to do with what codec their videos aer.
[07:46] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, I'm drunk, but it will work.
[07:46] <Onyx> u_angel: Wrong how?
[07:46] <Hemebond> The default DISPLAY is 0:0 yes?
[07:47] <wweasel> Hemebond: yes.
[07:47] <Hemebond> Pants.
[07:47] <churka> DR. VISTA
[07:47] <churka> DR VISTA
[07:47] <churka> DR VISTA
[07:47] <churka> WHERE ARE YOU
[07:47] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, now "/usr/bin/amixer sset Master 0%" in new line.
[07:47] <rp_> u_angel : don't use it so don't know, but I tried to make it work with my phone and it seemed ok?
[07:47] <astro76> churka, please stop
[07:47] <norv> crdlb: I don't care as much about open source as I do about constant flickering and glitching. my HP Pavilion zd8000 has had no end to sound, video, and removable disk problems
[07:47] <churka> Sorry man, my friend needs my help quick
[07:48] <Ubuntuser07> HEre
[07:48] <wweasel> churka: none of us really care. This a support channel.
[07:48] <churka> There you are man
[07:48] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: The point is that I'm not sure "Master" is really the master channel in this wicked machine of mine....
[07:48] <Ubuntuser07> Im here]
[07:48] <Ubuntuser07> Churka what did you want?
[07:48] <johnny_> cabrioleur, do you know another media plugin like mozilla-mplayer that allows you to save movies to your harddrive?
[07:48] <hou5ton> wweasel:   hmmm ... well ... I thought it was Adobe Flash, and I THOUGHT I had that installed ... but apparantly something isn't right
[07:48] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Ok, done
[07:48] <u_angel> rp_: Onyx: it says plug in and an icon would appear if using 7.10. i am using 7.10 and nothing is happening. i will follow the 7.06 install to see if i get anything
[07:48] <norv> johnny_: I've only been successful, with youtube, by wget
[07:49] <churka> I dunno
[07:49] <churka> just here to help you get help
[07:49] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, type amixer sset Master 0% and see if it lowered the volume.
[07:49] <johnny_> this is for normal video files norv
[07:49] <Onyx> u_angel: Erm... if it's bluetooth, why do you have to plug anything in?
[07:49] <rp_> u_angel sorry d00d worked for me..
[07:49] <wweasel> hou5ton: Does youtube work?
[07:49] <hou5ton> wweasel:   can you see the videos on Fox News?    http://www.foxnews.com/
[07:49] <hou5ton> wweasel:   yes
[07:49] <Ubuntuser07> Churka
[07:49] <churka> huh
[07:49] <churka> ?
[07:49] <norv> johnny_: can't just copy/save the link?
[07:50] <Ubuntuser07> Are you there?
[07:50] <hou5ton> wweasel:   CNN and MSNBC too
[07:50] <cabrioleur> johnny_, there is a plugin for firefox to do that from web, if that's what you are asking.
[07:50] <churka> yea man
[07:50] <u_angel> Onyx: i have a usb bluetooth adapter
[07:50] <churka> talk in the tab I opened with you
[07:50] <Ubuntuser07> What do you want?
[07:50] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: no, it didn't....
[07:50] <churka> what do you want?
[07:50] <johnny_> like the mplayer one cabrioleur ?
[07:50] <hou5ton> wweasel:   and actually ... anywhere else I've been with this install
[07:50] <johnny_> i want to be able to play movies then have the option to save them to hard disk
[07:50] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: I think "master surround" is the main channel....
[07:50] <Ubuntuser07> Churka i sent you a private message.
[07:50] <hou5ton> wweasel:   but with Fox News, I can only get sound
[07:50] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: trying this one

[07:51] <hou5ton> wweasel:   could be ... :-)

[07:51] <churka> right click you mean?
[07:51] <churka> right click and open a new dialog box
[07:51] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, try PCM after if this didn't work
[07:51] <churka> and talk with me there
[07:51] <wweasel> hou5ton: I really have no idea. It's flash too, and if you're having no other trouble with other flash sites, I haven't the faintest idea what might be wrong.
[07:51] <crdlb> cuteharez: unregistered users cannot send private messages
[07:51] <crdlb> err
[07:51] <ackbahr> cabrioleur : ok
[07:51] <crdlb> churka: ^^
[07:51] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, you must have PCM
[07:51] <Ubuntuser07> nvm
[07:52] <churka> what you want crdlb?
[07:52] <churka> I remember ou
[07:52] <wweasel> churka: Unregistered users can't send PMs.
[07:52] <churka> you helped me out with my BERYL problems a while back
[07:52] <hou5ton> wweasel:   oh well ... every now and then there is a video on Fox I want to see ... but ....
[07:52] <Ubuntuser07> Right click private chat with my name!
[07:52] <churka> you are a pretty cool guy
[07:52] <churka> arent we registered?
[07:52] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: yes, but the volume linked to my volume shortcut keys is "master surround", this is for sure....
[07:52] <wweasel> apparently not.
[07:53] <crdlb> no
[07:53] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: What would be the shortcut name for it?
[07:53] <crdlb> neither of you
[07:53] <churka> vista, what do you mean?
[07:53] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, execute amixer and see what's on top of it.
[07:53] <churka> It doesnt show private chat

[07:53] <Aztec007> my linux is hyper sensitive with soundcards! my soundcard has been working on and off three times today THREE TIMES!
[07:53] <churka> I have to register????
[07:53] <churka> to private chat
[07:53] <gos> Happy new year
[07:53] <churka> ooooohhh man
[07:53] <crdlb> churka: you can just join a random channel if you want
[07:53] <wweasel> churka, Ubuntuser07: Why don't you two just go find yourselves a random unoccupied channel. "Get a room", so to speak :P
[07:54] <crdlb> churka: like #churka
[07:54] <Aztec007> can anyone give me any ideas on how I can get my soundcard to work?
[07:54] <Aztec007> ??
[07:54] <churka> Ok CRDLB
[07:54] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, do you have pulseaudio installed?
[07:54] <churka> Dr vista, click on #churka

[07:54] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: "Master Surround"
[07:54] <NICOI69> Sorry to bother you guys but i need alittle help with xchat
[07:54] <churka> right click> join channel
[07:54] <gos> Have EgOS on a wally world PC, can I use beryl ?
[07:54] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: no, I know about pulseaudio, I was told not to install it
[07:55] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, check "amixer sset 'Master Sound' 0%
[07:55] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, sounds like alsa/oss problems.
[07:55] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, sorry, 'Master Surround'
[07:55] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: yeah, thats what its looking like, I mean I like linux and all but everytime I go to synaptic and get some package I lose the sound
[07:55] <Aztec007> then I have to restart to get it back
[07:56] <Aztec007> and now its gone permanantly
[07:56] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: We're lucky there"I'm changing the script....
[07:56] <astro76> gos, probably not, I dunno, we don't support that here ;)
[07:56] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, cool! now the last line looks like "/sbin/alsactl store"
[07:57] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, make a new line at the end, save it, quit. Now, make it executable "sudo chmod +x K05mute" and you are done.
[07:57] <wweasel> It's amazing how many people come to #ubuntu for any linux problem, just because we're the most active.
[07:57] <Aztec007> By the way everyone I am shocked to find that I'm not the only one stressing out about linux on New Years Day
[07:57] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Wonderful!
[07:57] <wweasel> Aztec007: I'm just not yet ready to go to bed after partying, so why not help a couple people out.
[07:58] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, one more check. volumes up and type ./K05mute to see if it works (the script)
[07:58] <churka> BOOM, headshot
[07:58] <Aztec007> wweasel: thats what I call good Karma, could ya help a brother out???
[07:59] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Yes, but /sbin/alsactl: save_state:1280: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission denied
[07:59] <wweasel> Aztec007: I would, but I offer help when I think I can be of help. I don't know how to help you with your random sound card problems.
[07:59] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, that's good. It will during shutdown. You are done!
[07:59] <Aztec007> wweasel: understood
[07:59] <Aztec007> :(
[07:59] <norv> I have random sound card problems though they occur when running SDL apps
[08:00] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Thank yry much for this! To disable it, should I just chmod it back?
[08:00] <Aztec007> thankfully I have a bottle of tequila next to me because lord do I need it
[08:00] <Aztec007> norv: whats SDL?
[08:00] <norv> And I've begun to think that maybe I'll choose hardware better next time.. I /never/ could make it work well enough to turn on the sound
[08:00] <norv> Aztec007: Standard DirectMedia Layer.. openGL, sound, controls, etc.
[08:00] <Aztec007> norv: just out of curiosity, what kind of sound card do you have on your PC?
[08:01] <norv> Aztec007: right now I'll have to look, this is my asus eee
[08:01] <cabrioleur> ackbahr, yes
[08:01] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, let's try something. Do you have mpg321 installed?
[08:01] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: I'm not sure, how do I check?
[08:01] <norv> Aztec007: HDA Intel Conexant X20549 (Desktop Replacement)
[08:02] <Aztec007> norv: is it the one that came with your motherboard?
[08:02] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, execute mpg321 in terminal and see if you have it.
[08:02] <Aztec007> or is it PCI?
[08:02] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: ok
[08:02] <norv> Aztec007: HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 (Eee)
[08:03] <churka> Sorry dr.vista
[08:03] <ackbahr> cabrioleur: Wonderful... Thanks again, and enjoy a Happy Year!
[08:03] <churka> you were acting retarded
[08:03] <churka> #churka
[08:03] <churka> Can anyone help me with Ubuntu on VMWARE Player???
[08:03] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: "currently not installed!"  *look of hope on face*
[08:03] <norv> Aztec007: it's probably mainboard, as the graphics is integrated. as for the laptop, probably same even though it's got dedicated gfx
[08:03] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, sudo apt-get install mpg321
[08:03] <churka> Anyone?
[08:03] <johnny_> does anyone know how to get mozilla-mplayer working in edgy?
[08:03] <Aztec007> norv: I have an audigy high definitino or something like that
[08:03] <churka> ANYONE?
[08:04] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: ok!
[08:04] <walkies> 'buntu be buggin' :D
[08:04] <walkies> happy newyear all!
[08:04] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, go to your music in terminal and type mpg321 file.mp3
[08:04] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, if it won't play give me the last line.
[08:04] <u_angel> sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth bluez-utils gnome-vfs-obexftp fixxed my usb issue
[08:05] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: going right now.... (i'm not sure if i have any mp3s on my system ")
[08:05] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, do you have ogg?
[08:05] <xLE> whats devel manpages package?
[08:05] <norv> churka: how far did you get? if you haven't even got bootup might want to ask on a vmware or a channel for your host system
[08:06] <norv> churka: unless you mean Ubuntu is the host
[08:06] <xLE> whats devel manpages package?
[08:06] <churka> I got to a boot up
[08:06] <churka> But I cant get wireless internet working
[08:06] <norv> churka: Hehe, doesn't work that way
[08:06] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, http://simplythebest.net/sounds/MP3/sound_effects_MP3/sound_effect_MP3_files/frogs.mp3
[08:06] <churka> It only works with wired?
[08:06] <deflated> Hello. What do you think of taking Bazaar for backups?
[08:07] <norv> churka: You would bridge or something, I am not an expert at that
[08:07] <churka> I dont know what bridging is
[08:07] <norv> churka: I use VirtualBox.. but you make it look like your wireless is wired
[08:07] <xLE> whats devel manpages package?
[08:07] <churka> Noo
[08:07] <churka> im on my xp now
[08:07] <bellfree> hi, what is the channel for troubleshooting webcams? Thanks
[08:07] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: ok, here's what I got :   "Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-jalonso"
[08:07] <Aztec007> can't create mcop directory
[08:07] <Aztec007>  " and no I dont have ogg
[08:08] <astro76> !webcam | bellfree
[08:08] <ubotu> bellfree: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[08:08] <churka> Norv: I cant find any options for wireless, all i see is wired
[08:08] <norv> churka: yes, you connect via wireless in XP, and pass the network connection to VMware.
[08:08] <churka> Ok
[08:08] <churka> Do I need to choose the Bridge connection?
[08:08] <norv> churka: not sure /how/, I don't use vmware. Bridge sounds like the right one
[08:08] <u_angel> cabrioleur: bluettoth working great, the page you gave me sucks ass cuz it claims 7.10 works different than 7.06 but it is wrong. once i followed the 7.06 instructions it works great! thanks
[08:09] <churka> Ok, well Ive tried that with no success
[08:09] <churka> Do you know anyone else that is familiar with Vm Ware?
[08:09] <churka> What is Virtual Box?
[08:09] <Onyx> Does anyone here use VMWare?  I'm trying to figure out how I can allow access to/from my Linux host to my Windows XP guest.  Anyone know?
[08:09] <cabrioleur> u_angel, It's wasn't me, but cool!
[08:09] <churka> I might wanna use that
[08:09] <norv> churka: that's the opposite setup, but it's not that different
[08:09] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, do you have skype on, or amarok?
[08:10] <churka> What do you mean "opposite"
[08:10] <norv> churka: you are running ubuntu under vmware. Onyx is running xp under vmware
[08:10] <churka> Uhhhhh, ok...
[08:10] <churka> Is Onyx similar to VmWare?
[08:11] <Onyx> churka: Onyx is me...
[08:11] <cabrioleur> norv, and I'm running aix under solaris zones :-)
[08:11] <churka> Im confused
[08:11] <RoxanneEDM> me to
[08:11] <Onyx> churka: They were just telling you that you
[08:11] <churka> Who is telling me what?
[08:11] <Onyx> you're talking about running Ubuntu using VMWare
[08:11] <norv> cabrioleur: zones very good?
[08:11] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: neither, but I just found some ALSA packages that I dont have installed and I was thinking of installing thru synaptic, good idea or bad?
[08:11] <Onyx> And I'm running XP using VMWare
[08:11] <RoxanneEDM> how do u get on to msn on this thing
[08:12] <churka> HOLD UP
[08:12] <ramvi> Hi, I'm working on optimizing Ubuntu for the small asus eee. What package or file is it that contains the default gnome user setup? Like "one panel on top. one at bottom. Font size 10 " etc?
[08:12] <Onyx> VMWare == virtual machine software.
[08:12] <churka> Ok norv
[08:12] <churka> I got it
[08:12] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: Use Pidgin
[08:12] <churka> it was onyx speaking
[08:12] <churka> Iight
[08:12] <RoxanneEDM> it dosnt come up
[08:12] <churka> you were talking to 2 people
[08:12] <churka> Norv: What is virtual box? is it a better alternative
[08:12] <RoxanneEDM> what?
[08:12] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: *what* doesn't come up?  Pidgin?
[08:12] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, only alsa-oss is required.
[08:12] <norv> ramvi: you configure that stuff.. play with the ones in your home directory
[08:12] <RoxanneEDM> yea it dont come up
[08:12] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, if you have it, you are golden.
[08:13] <il3dsm> can someone help me set up wireless on ubuntu server?
[08:13] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: How are you trying to bring it up?
[08:13] <RoxanneEDM> clicking it
[08:13] <churka> Norv?
[08:13] <norv> ramvi: ls -a, in home. all the "dot" directories
[08:13] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: From...?
[08:13] <cabrioleur> il3dsm, what card?
[08:13] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: ok, ok, *feeling hopeful now*
[08:13] <ramvi> norv: the default setup comes from somewhere. Where?
[08:13] <il3dsm> cabrioleur: belkin wireless G
[08:13] <norv> churka: not sure, it works fine for what I do and makes me load less modules
[08:13] <RoxanneEDM> i  am double clicking it but it wont come up
[08:13] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: You've got to give more information than that... it's a lot easier to adequately help if we have more information about exactly what's going on.
[08:13] <cabrioleur> il3dsm, you are doooooooomed. What model?
[08:13] <churka> Are you using Ubuntu Now?
[08:13] <churka> or xp to run Ubuntu?
[08:14] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: Where are you double clicking?  Desktop?  Menu?
[08:14] <RoxanneEDM> pidgin wont come up so i can go onto it
[08:14] <norv> ramvi: probably gets created if it doesn't exist. it might also be in /etc but be careful and back the whole thing up
[08:14] <RoxanneEDM> desktop
[08:14] <il3dsm> cabrioleur: one moment
[08:14] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: should i install libaloggl ?
[08:14] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, no, don't have to.
[08:14] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: Are you using Gutsy Gibbon?
[08:14] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, just make sure you have alsa-oss.
[08:14] <RoxanneEDM> im not sure
[08:14] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: oh ok, i wasnt going
[08:15] <ramvi> norv: so you don't know... ok, thanks anyway
[08:15] <Aztec007> cabrioleur:  checking for also-oss
[08:15] <Aztec007> ....
[08:15] <churka> norv: Back to my wireless problem, do you know any other people that are familiar with VmWare?
[08:15] <churka> If Not
[08:15] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: Did you just install Ubuntu?
[08:15] <churka> then will you be kind enough to provide me a link to virtual box
[08:15] <RoxanneEDM> :-X i am getting mad
[08:15] <il3dsm> cabrioleur: f5d7000, it works in the desktop edition by default
[08:15] <norv> ramvi: well /etc/gtk-2.0 is quite obvious.. and /etc/gtk.. etcetera
[08:15] <Onyx> RoxanneEDM: Settle down... I'm trying to help you out...
[08:15] <churka> Im guessing Virtual Box is a alternative to VmWare
[08:16] <ramvi> norv: gtk is just the gnome gui
[08:16] <Onyx> churka: I'll tell ya though... VMWare is awesome.
[08:16] <RoxanneEDM> i know but its not working
[08:16] <marsmissions> happy new year~
[08:16] <churka> Yea, but I cant get my wireless working Onyx
[08:16] <norv> ramvi: gtk is a very big part of gnome.. i'm sure gnome files are somewhere like /etc/gnome or something simple
[08:16] <churka> NORV?
[08:17] <Onyx> churka: Are you using NAT?
[08:17] <thoreauputic> churka: if you are trying to configure wireless from within vmware, that won't work - vmware uses "virtual" wired interfaces. But if the host runs wireless, it should work
[08:17] <cabrioleur> il3dsm, let's start from "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils"
[08:17] <churka> It doesnt work for me though
[08:17] <cabrioleur> il3dsm, you will need windows drivers for it too.
[08:17] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: should I restart or log off?
[08:17] <churka> Ive played around will all the settings
[08:17] <ramvi> norv: But I'm not asking where it's saved. It's saved in gconf. I'm asking where the default setup comes from
[08:17] <thoreauputic> churka: try brideged mode
[08:17] <norv> churka: I'm not sure if it is better, you would have to try
[08:17] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: I installed the packages
[08:17] <thoreauputic> *bridged
[08:17] <norv> ramvi: oh, the gconf settings
[08:17] <churka> Ok, Ill BRB
[08:18] <norv> ramvi: /etc/gconf, ~/.gconf
[08:18] <il3dsm> cabrioleur: couldn't find package ndiswrapper, I don't have any kind of internet on the other machine
[08:18] <churka> Im running VMWare now
[08:18] <cabrioleur> il3dsm, it's on the cd.
[08:18] <churka> may take a while to start up
[08:19] <Andr00> i love jibberish
[08:19] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: I know your busy so just to let you know I'm gonna restart my machine and see if I hear things upon loading *crossing fingers*
[08:19] <u_angel> now to sync my windows mobile device with evolution
[08:19] <Onyx> Does anyone here use VMWare?  I'm trying to figure out how I can allow access to/from my Linux host to my Windows XP guest.  Anyone know?
[08:20] <ramvi> norv: Am I really making myself that unclear? I'm sorry. What I'm asking is: the default gnome user settings in ubuntu, where do they come from? Where is it configured? I want to change the default user settings, not the settings for a user
[08:20] <Hemebond> I've done that.
[08:20] <Hemebond> Onyx: Have you set up a share?
[08:20] <cabrioleur> ramvi, .gconfd
[08:20] <u_angel> Onyx: i use samba networking betwwen the host(ubuntu) and the guest(windows) works for me
[08:20] <thoreauputic> Onyx: try putty with ssh server running on the host
[08:20] <cabrioleur> ramvi, some of it in .config
[08:20] <Hemebond> Onyx: VMWare has sharing built in.
[08:20] <Hemebond> Enable it.
[08:20] <thoreauputic> aha
[08:21] <norv> ramvi: ALL system wite defaults come from /etc
[08:21] <Onyx> Hemebond: Where?
[08:21] <Hemebond> Then you can browse to \\host\share
[08:21] <walkies> you guys, I have installed ubuntu succesfuly but right after login the computer just halts and turns off, the kernel options noacpi and noapic do nothing, do you guys have any suggestions for how I might figure out what is crashing it?
[08:21] <norv> ramvi: *wide
[08:21] <u_angel> Hemebond: vmware server does not have that
[08:21] <cabrioleur> ramvi, and some of it in .gconf
[08:21] <il3dsm> cabrioleur: I popped in the linux server edition CD, typed sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils in the command line, still not found. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not good with linux.
[08:21] <Hemebond> u_angel: He just said VMWare.
[08:21] <thoreauputic> !info ndiswrapper
[08:21] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in gutsy
[08:21] <ramvi> cabrioleur: .confd and .conf in my home dir? That's user specific.. The ubuntu default gnome settings is what I'm looking for
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !info ndiswrapper-utils
[08:22] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper-utils does not exist in gutsy
[08:22] <u_angel> Hemebond: lol, i know but noobs call vmare server and vmare the same
[08:22] <thoreauputic> :(
[08:22] <Onyx> u_angel: how can I add a new samba share?  Samba is already installed
[08:22] <u_angel> Onyx: do you have vmware utils or vmware server?
[08:22] <churka> Ok, I tried bridge
[08:22] <churka> Still no success
[08:22] <churka> in the network applet, I chose eth4
[08:22] <ramvi> norv: /etc contains pretty much every application that's installed. What package is it that contains the default settings? Sorry for being so unclear
[08:22] <churka> Do I need to choose someting else?
[08:23] <churka> I have wired connection set to dhcp
[08:23] <Onyx> u_angel: I've got VMWare Workstation 6.02
[08:23] <churka> and enabled
[08:23] <norv> ramvi: you should have looked at the .gconf.. /etc/gconf maps to .gconf in the home directories
[08:23] <churka> i Have VmWare Player
[08:23] <Onyx> u_angel: Don't worry, I know what I've got...
[08:23] <u_angel> Onyx: should be as easy as right clicking a folder and clicking on share folder,
[08:23] <cabrioleur> ramvi, /usr/share/gnome/default.session (don't be so hasty)
[08:23] <churka> What eth
[08:24] <norv> ramvi: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/
[08:24] <churka> am i supposed to be on
[08:24] <churka> Can someone just give me a link to a documentation to help me out on this????
[08:24] <churka> since no one is helping me
[08:25] <churka> Dooot DA Doot
[08:25] <churka> Whered everyone go?
[08:25] <cabrioleur> churka, because you are at the wrong spot. Try #vmware
[08:25] <churka> Oh, thanks
[08:26] <ramvi> cabrioleur: thanks, but that's just the default sessions file. Where does it say that the should be a top panel, a bottom panel etc?
[08:26] <dwho> any file recover tool for linux that supports ex3?
[08:26] <Onyx> u_angel: All right... now how do I browse to that share in Linux?
[08:26] <norv> churka: http://www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/network_change_bridged_gsx.html
[08:26] <churka> thanks
[08:26] <dwho> any file recover tool for linux that supports ext3? and supports file recovery for openoffice and abiword?
[08:27] <cabrioleur> ramvi, :/usr/share/gconf/defaults
[08:27] <u_angel> Onyx: yeah, but you should do the share on the host (ubuntu) and then look for it on the guest (xp)
[08:27] <thoreauputic> dwho: if you delete from ext3, it's gone - unless the app is still open.   How can I just make it a samba share?
[08:28] <norv> it's possible though, with foremost
[08:28] <ramvi> cabrioleur: whoa, thanks a lot! :)
[08:28] <inaety_> dwho: openoffice recovers files
[08:28] <dwho> inaety_ : the deleted ones?
[08:28] <norv> ramvi: sorry for mistaking /etc/gconf with /usr/share/gconf..
[08:29] <inaety_> dwho: not sure but it will recover it if it was opened
[08:29] <ramvi> norv: no worries, thanks for helping out
[08:29] <M4A3> ubuntu graffic mode is die
[08:29] <u_angel> Onyx: you call it a samba share, meaning a share on the ubuntu, meaning that you are just rephrasing what i just said
[08:29] <dwho> thoreauputic : dunno any successful tutorial/tips and tools?
[08:30] <u_angel> Onyx: right click a folder on the ubuntu box, click on share, then from the vmare box look for your ubuntu box then the folder
[08:30] <Onyx> u_angel: If I'm sharing a folder on the host, that's definitely not a network share.
[08:30] <Onyx> u_angel: ... which is the entire point of samba
[08:30] <cabrioleur> ramvi, no problemo. Happy new year.
[08:30] <thoreauputic> dwho: not off the top of my head, sorry - as I said, if you delete files in ext3, they are gone. The alternative is if the app is still open you can find the inode - but I've never done it
[08:31] <ramvi> cabrioleur: right back at ya
[08:31] <norv> dwho: you could look at foremost and an OpenDocument "magic" to place in foremost.conf
[08:31] <jescis> Hello, I need to repair my ubuntu partition
[08:32] <thoreauputic> Onyx: from the viewpoint of a vmware vm, it is on a network - the host is networked with the vm
[08:32] <norv> dwho: it's very complex, but then again it's not for end users. Link rm to mv next time
[08:32] <jescis> I put the live cd of 7.10 in
 : opendocument magic? is it a tool?
[08:32] <cabrioleur> jescis fsck -a /dev/sdxx
[08:32] <u_angel> Onyx: i am getting a headache, just how much do you know about vmare and network share? maybe i am assuming too much here.
 : hehehehehe not problem... my niece deleted her files... hahahahaha... she's been crying all night...
[08:33] <norv> dwho: magic numbers, I.e. how file tells that it's a opendocument file
[08:33] <u_angel> Onyx: buddy, vmare create a virtual machine, meaning, it will be on your network
[08:33] <norv> dwho: also if you are running low on disk you will have lost the file, 99%
[08:33] <rico> hey guys. how can i disable my wireless connection via the command line? (i'm not using networkmanager here)
[08:33] <Onyx> u_angel: I'm new to vmware, I know about network shares, and I'm not that great with Windows stuff either.
 : that's what am about to ask... i need a recipe for openoffice and abiword
[08:34] <norv> rico: ifconfig <device> down
[08:34] <thoreauputic> rico: sudo iwconfig [interface] down
[08:34] <u_angel> Onyx: GREAT, ok so let bring it back. sry for assuming. so you have a shared folder in ubuntu using samba, right?
[08:34] <Onyx> u_angel: Yup
[08:34] <Aztec007> MY SOUND CARD WORKSS!
[08:34] <thoreauputic> rico: ifconfig should work too
[08:35] <Aztec007> I can hear sounds again
[08:35] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, Coool!!!
[08:35] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: THERE YOU ARE!
[08:35] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: believe me when I say that your help has been music to my ears!
[08:35] <Aztec007> what a great way to start the new year
[08:35] <Aztec007> !
[08:36] <u_angel> Onyx: ok, now go the vmware machine and look for your host, do you know that name of your ubuntu?
[08:36] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, no problemo! happy new year from Poland!
 : do you know a place where you can point me to make a recipe for opendocument and abiword for magicbyte
[08:36] <Hemebond> is "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common" the same as "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[08:36] <thoreauputic> Hemebond: I don't think so :)
[08:36] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: well, jindobre to you my good friend
[08:36] <Hemebond> Okay, well, I still can't open any GUI applications.
[08:37] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: or is it danke?
[08:37] <jescis> fsck says: /dev/hdb2 clean
[08:37] <Aztec007> either way thanks a million!
[08:37] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, :-) Hi! Not, that's german. Dzien dobry is good, but you spelled it like you hear it.
[08:38] <rico> thanks norv, it worked :)
[08:38] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: Ah, so thats how you spell it, I work at school with Polish students and I picked up a couple of words here and there
[08:39] <rico> i have another question though. whats a fast way to do a file transfer over a network? (linux machine -> windows machine) right now i'm using windows's shared folders over a home router and i'm getting a slow 2mb per second rate.
[08:39] <rico> would a crossover cable be a better solution?
[08:39] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: Happy New Years my good friend, now I'm gonna have another drink before I download a package that messes my soundcard up again :)
[08:39] <cabrioleur> Aztec007, be harsh to them. They need to learn hard!
[08:39] <cabrioleur> rico, try firewire :-)
[08:40] <rico> my windows machine doesn't have a firewire card.. hehe
[08:40] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: lol, Most of those kids are very nice, but I'll be harsh to them just because you told me to
[08:40] <rico> but how can I do a firewire network between 2 computers?
[08:40] <jescis> When i screwed up my partition i installed libc6 and removed tzdata
[08:41] <Aztec007> cabrioleur: Once again, thank you for taking the time to help me out with my sound card problem and I wish you a happy New Year!
[08:41] <jescis> then i tryed to remove libc6 to reinstalltzdata
[08:41] <Aztec007> HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!!!

[08:42] <thoreauputic> jescis: libc6 is,,,umm absolutely basic
[08:43] <Aztec007> exit
[08:43] <thoreauputic> jescis: for future reference - don't mess with libc6
[08:43] <jescis> but tzdata can't work with it
[08:43] <thoreauputic> jescis: are you running gutsy?
[08:43] <jescis> yes
[08:44] <thoreauputic> jescis: what happened with tzdata ?
[08:44] <jescis> I removed it to install bliss
[08:44] <thoreauputic> .. and of course tzdata works with libc6 - everything reliese on libc6
[08:44] <jescis> bless*
[08:45] <thoreauputic> jescis: why?
[08:45] <thoreauputic> jescis: you should *never* try to remove libc6
