[05:35] <tom47> Johansson maybe you can blacklist the rtl8180 driver as an interim measure to be sure its not being used

[05:37] <dfcarney> Johansson: well, that's weird.  one way to check for sure is to try and remove the driver.  if it's not being used then you should be able to remove it.

[05:39] <xi_> hi
[05:39] <xi_> i have a strange problem
[05:39] <xi_> when i setup my nic to dhcp
[05:39] <xi_> it works fine
[05:39] <xi_> when i give it a fix ip
[05:39] <xi_> it doesn't
[05:39] <nolimitsoya> xi_, please confide you question to one message, please
[05:39] <Speshul_ED> if someone just posted "I would like to find out how to ..... "  it wouldn't put the responder in a bind, appearing as if he has engaged in the lame brained idea you have.
[05:40] <xi_> when i set my nic to dhcp it works fine but if i give it a fix ip it doesn't work. has somebody an idea?
[05:40] <xi_> sorry!
[05:40] <nolimitsoya> xi_, what do you mean by 'doesnt work'?
[05:40] <Kiongku> how do i install new icon themes in ubuntu?
[05:41] <nolimitsoya> !synaptic | Kiongku
[05:41] <ubotu> Kiongku: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[05:42] <fdr> hello. I'm installing a program i've just compiled, but instead of make install I would like to make a package (so that I can easily remove it later...). Can you point me at some docs please?
[05:42] <Kiongku> not really helpful. I'm currently looking in gnome-look.org
[05:42] <johndoetje> make deb?
[05:42] <nicola> trying to compile a program I got checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[05:42] <nicola> what should I get ?

[05:42] <ubotu> nicola: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[05:42] <dfcarney> Johansson: ugh.  i can't find much that's better than lsmod and dmesg
[05:42] <nolimitsoya> xi_, if 'doesnt work' means 'i cant get on the internet no more' thatd mean you forgot dns/gateway setting, and you nicis working fine. btw, there it never any reason to use hard ip when you have a dhcpserver. you should set your dhcp server to reserve an ip for your nic:s mac adress instead
[05:42] <jrib> nicola: install the build-essential package
[05:42] <nicola> thanks jrib
[05:43] <fdr> johndoetje, no, there is no make deb rule :)
[05:43] <xi_> hmmm... i always prefer to use fix ips instead of letting my router do that
[05:43] <nolimitsoya> Kiongku, then use the install routine cited in the readme for that icon set
[05:44] <dothazard> Bonsoir

[05:47] <jerp> since no one knows if XChat allows the suer to make popups, does ubuntu have a package download of an IRC client that allows the user to make popups ?
[05:47] <gop> jerp,  what do  you mean popups

[05:47] <dfcarney> jerp: i believe that GAIM supports IRC (and pop-ups), though I may be wrong.

[05:50] <nicola> what's a "build-dep" ?
[05:50] <nicola> (it's downloading)
[05:50] <jrib> nicola: installs necesary packages to compile xfmedia
[05:50] <frying_fish> build dependencies.
[05:50] <LjL> nicola: a build dependency. a package that you need in order to compile another package
[05:50] <dfcarney> nicola: build dependency.  i.e. something that you need to build/compile something.
[05:50] <nicola> thanks guys =)
[05:51] <dothazard> ho is good think tom47
[05:53] <jerp> time to go workout....... thanks for not answering my question, it leaves me in the dark I hope you all find a way to limit your desire help all the more.
[05:54] <gephalt> Hi, folks. I was able to successfully setup the twin view on an old nvidia card. problem is, when I want to watch some movie on the TV screen, half of it is on the tv screen (in full screen mode) and the other half on my monitor.
[05:54] <gephalt> Is this what twin-view is supposed to be?
[05:54] <wasabi> gephalt: You probably need to set up twinview so it uses xinerama
[05:55] <Raskall> I simply love NX. :)
[05:55] <gephalt> wasabi: how do i do that? don't i need to seperate graphics card to use xinerama (as I understand it) in the first place?

[06:06] <nolimitsoya> eltese, cfg:s are created in a hidder folder in your /home. make sure you have that folder, and that nofile is writeprotected
[06:06] <johns^> any ideas where I can change that?
[06:06] <nolimitsoya> eLfReaKz, please, ive told you already.
[06:06] <francisco> Arigato, try      find / -iname file_im_looking_for

[06:08] <nolimitsoya> dfcarney, im using edgy
[06:08] <dfcarney> nolimitsoya: yeah, but i'm willing to bet that Edgy uses 2.0 also :)
[06:08] <nolimitsoya> eLfReaKz, software is searched and installed through synaptic. there is no list of software, nore do you want one. you couldnt possibly overlook all the software you can run in ubuntu
[06:09] <eLfReaKz> nolimitsoya: like maybe yahoo messenger doesnt have ubuntu version.. but have something else.. so i want to know if there's a website giving me choices of software for me to use with ubuntu
[06:09] <nolimitsoya> dfcarney, how do i check?
[06:09] <nolimitsoya> eLfReaKz, search synaptic
[06:09] <eLfReaKz> nolimitsoya: so synaptic is update to date with latest software for ubuntu?
[06:09] <dfcarney> nolimitsoya: i'm trying to look into that myself right now :)
[06:09] <bruenig> eLfReaKz, on the absolute beginner part of ubuntuforums.org they have software equivalents for windows to linux
[06:09] <nolimitsoya> eLfReaKz, yes
[06:09] <tom47> eLfReaKz if you run synaptic you should find all the sftware listed there including brief descriptions .... warning though, the list is maybe 20,000 paclages long so you may want to use the search facility to reduce the number somewhat to a smaller subject area

[06:13] <nolimitsoya> dfcarney, im not even sure it wants to build. its an installer
[06:13] <Lynoure> Baxter_Kylie: dpkg-query -W --showformat='${status} ${Package}\n'  does something like that

[06:17] <Garito> anyone can help me to configure direct rendering on a intel 82885, please?
[06:17] <rw> sergevn: the upcoming ubuntu release?
[06:17] <rw> reddragon3668: moment
[06:18] <HuibertGill> willskills: brb, just
[06:18] <nolimitsoya> dfcarney, build-dep solved it. thank you :)
[06:18] <francisco> mark: more specific help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[06:18] <max_> it could be damaged, perhaps, but when I check the about:plugins page of mozilla they seem fine.
[06:18] <Mark45> fransico: will that help me connect to ckip
[06:18] <dfcarney> nolimitsoya: glad i could help
[06:18] <HuibertGill> willskills: try with the chmod command
[06:18] <max_> I know the file can't be amaged in fact, because I can view video outside of mozilla
[06:18] <tom47> !permissions
[06:18] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[06:18] <sergevn> rw, ah yes wanted that clear ;), probably it will configure automatic to 'vesa' mode if it doesnt recognice your videocard e.g. driver
[06:19] <eltese> how do I change so I got the rights to write in my quake3 folder? :p
[06:19] <HuibertGill> willskills: recursivly for a dir named TEST: chmod -R o+rw TEST/
[06:19] <francisco> garito what error are you getting?
[06:19] <francisco> Garito, run glxinfo
[06:19] <HuibertGill> willskills: this will let OTHERS read and write to the files.
[06:19] <Garito> francisco: I don't know (complet newbie)
[06:19] <dfcarney> eltese: something like "sudo chown -R eltese.eltese .quake3" should work
[06:19] <HuibertGill> willskills: or, if you want access for one user unly, use the chown command
[06:19] <Garito> I only don't have direct rendering
[06:20] <Garito> then beryl go slooooow
[06:20] <dfcarney> eltese: then, follow that with a "chmod ugo+rw" command
[06:20] <willskills> ye thats great hx
[06:20] <francisco> oh you are running beryl :D
[06:20] <HuibertGill> willskills: chown -r username directoryname
[06:20] <aleutian> I know that Ubuntu currently supports the dual core capability of Inte Core 2 Duo processors now, but I am curious to know if the latest Core 2 Duo processors can run the 64-bit version of Ubuntu.  Does anyone know this?
[06:20] <Garito> yes
[06:20] <Garito> but slooooooow
[06:21] <rw> sergevn: the thing is - if you change your stuff to f.e. "nvidia" and something doesent work, maybe one could override the "nvidia" setting so people would get "something" on their screen
[06:21] <francisco> Garito, I use beryl on 855 but it works best in 16bit
[06:21] <nolimitsoya> aleutian, they can
[06:21] <francisco> especially for running video
[06:21] <Garito> but how can I activate direct rendering?
[06:21] <seiya> ih, does anyone know about how to disable the touchpad on a laptop ?
[06:21] <francisco> just a sec I will find my xorg.conf
[06:21] <Garito> it go slow with normal windows
[06:21] <rw> max_: do a right-click on the mplayer-screen in mozilla and change video-out to x11
[06:21] <Garito> ok
[06:21] <Garito> thanks!
[06:21] <sergevn> rw, yes i think it's already implented in 6.xx, i just had it with my notebook, default my driver was vga.
[06:21] <nolimitsoya> seiya, remove it from the inputs section of xorg.conf
[06:22] <aleutian> nolimitsoya:  Thanks!
[06:22] <seiya> thank you nilimitsoya
[06:22] <rw> sergevn: hmm...the betas didn't, maybe this changed...
[06:22] <TGPO> seiya the settings for your touch pad are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:23] <sergevn> rw, lets wait and see then

[06:24] <cjuner_> Hi there... I got a problem with XDMCP using GDM. It works locally but not over network. Trying to connect from another computer I only get an empty screen with a cursor. What can I do?
[06:25] <rw> reddragon3668: maybe you could use gnome-terminal or the stuff from xfce4, it's a bit easier there (IMHO)
[06:25] <OmniColos> Garito, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36078/
[06:25] <rw> cjuner_: you need to open youre xdmcp-port
[06:25] <Garito> thanks OmniColos
[06:25] <dxdemetriou> some times when automounts an external drive and open the nautilus are opened another 3-4 in home. Is this a bug?
[06:25] <rw> cjuner_: in gdm.conf...you do:

[06:26] <rw> cjuner_: under: [xdmcp]
[06:26] <reddragon3668> rw: yeah.. its really easy to change font and size and I do like gnome-terminal... but I also like the transparent and borderless capabilites of Eterm and aterm, etc...

[06:26] <rapha> Hi all!

[06:30] <ibert> hi! I'm running a ubunut 6.06 Server and had to change the NIC. After that eth0 (the only if) disappeared. The new NIX is working (with knoppix) where can I reconfigure the networking in general?
[06:31] <rw> elfreakz: autoconnect is usually not what you want with modem, well, have a look at "demand" for pppd or maybe "gpppon"
[06:31] <rw> ibert: in general? /etc/network/interfaces
[06:31] <elfreakz> rw: ihave no idea with that, cos im a newbie, nevermind i just stick to the old pay pon poff
[06:32] <jacob> I'm having issues with my sound, it only works sometimes.
[06:32] <cjuner> rw nope... didn't do it
[06:32] <elfreakz> whats the best software to play all audio format???
[06:32] <rw> elfreakz: try gpppon, it's an applet for the panel
[06:32] <ibert> rw: I've checked this file already. sorry. I'v not told the whole story: I don't have an if!
[06:32] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: vlc is a good choice, as is mplayer
[06:33] <rw> ibert: does "ifconfig -a" show one?
[06:33] <rw> cjuner: hmm
[06:33] <meggamorty> can anyone help a newbie on how to see their windows files like music, etc?
[06:33] <Pelo> elfreakz,  it is a matter of choice,   format has little to do with the app itself it's a made of codecs
[06:33] <elfreakz> rw: u mean i have to go to terminal and do the gpppon?
[06:33] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, : will try vlc :)
[06:33] <rw> elfreakz: nope, gpppon is for gnome
[06:34] <Pelo> meggamorty,   can you rephrase that ?
[06:34] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: you may want to look at automatix
[06:34] <ibert> rw: ifconfig -a shows me an eth1! wow. so thats the point. How can I change this back to eth0?

[06:35] <Pelo> meggamorty,  ah,  you want to mount an ntfs partition,  look for  ntfs-g3 in synaptic and install that first then you use that to mound your windows partition
[06:35] <hoelk_> is there an application that can automatically burn divx movies as video dvds?

[06:37] <Nathan1993> I need to change my keyboard layout. RIght now, the apostraphe key does  when I press it twice and  when I press it then a. I have the same issue with the tilde key. I have to press it twice to get ~, and if I press it then a I get . How can I fix this? I have the standard QWERTY layout.
[06:38] <cjuner> rw, it's really really weird. gdm is even listed in `netstat -anp`.
[06:38] <kane77> bruenig, :( too bad...
[06:38] <rw> cjuner: how do you test?
[06:38] <meggamorty> Pelo: it appears i have already installed ntfs-g3 at a previous time, how do i go about using it?
[06:38] <nolimitsoya> meggamorty, you just mount using ntfs-3g as fs type
[06:39] <cjuner> rw, I have another computer here and try it with the gdmchooser (I think that's the program's name) from the gdm login menu. I also tried with Xnest - same result.
[06:39] <julianx> what is ntfs-g3 ??? it's for read and write on a ntfs partition?
[06:39] <rw> cjuner: at which port is gdm shown?
[06:39] <Pelo> meggamorty,  that is where I become useless,  I have never had to do it myself,  check the forum for instructions
[06:39] <HuibertGill> kane77: open a terminal and issue type: gnome-session-save to save the current session in gnome
[06:39] <ubitux> hi
[06:39] <nolimitsoya> julianx, yes
[06:39] <julianx> nolimitsoya it's a new software?

[06:40] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[06:40] <david83> nolimitsoya does it work correctly?
[06:40] <rw> cjuner: and: Xorg -query <IP_ADDRESS> (change the IP *g*)
[06:40] <mike> is there a gnome program for making flash animations?
[06:40] <nolimitsoya> david83, yes, but as always with linux and ntfs, its experimental
[06:40] <cjuner> rw wait a sec
[06:41] <Reaperman> how can you make firefox open irc://?
[06:41] <nolimitsoya> david83, i wouldnt trust it with any important data :)
[06:41] <julianx> i  have always read that it's impossible
[06:41] <david83> nolimitsoya alright thanks
[06:41] <apokryphos> Reaperman: I thought it does
[06:41] <cjuner> rw, then, as in Xnest, the screen hast the typical Xorg-grey instead of being black.
[06:41] <marginoferror> Which ntfs kernel plugin uses the captive windows drivers?
[06:41] <nolimitsoya> julianx, well its not. its just not recommended

[06:42] <rw> cjuner: looked at the log?
[06:42] <cjuner> rw actually netstat displays this:  udp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:177             <IP_ADDRESS>:*                          -

[06:42] <HuibertGill> kane77: what did you do?
[06:42] <julianx> just i'm sorry
[06:42] <jrib> Reaperman: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol
[06:42] <rw> cjuner: should show gdm at _tcp_-port 177
[06:42] <kane77> HuibertGill, just switch users and then chose different session
[06:43] <HuibertGill> kane77: yes, that works...... simple solution for simple problems ;-)
[06:43] <cjuner> rw well i get a list ... but it doesn't mention gdm
[06:43] <gop> LjL,  sheepsaver network gives me an error
[06:43] <mike> any opensource thing for making flash animations?
[06:43] <cjuner> rw there's just a hyphon for the program's name
[06:43] <gop> make: *** [sheep_net.ko]  Error 2
[06:44] <kane77> HuibertGill, :) how do I load the session (saved via gnome-session-save)?
[06:44] <cjuner> rw, gdm has a lot of logs but none mentions the ip from which i am trying to connect.
[06:44] <rw> uh, oh, gdm is udp, so it's okay
[06:44] <HuibertGill> mike: afaik there is an eclipse plugin to create flassh files.
[06:44] <rw> cjuner: could you send me your gdm.conf?
[06:44] <cjuner> rw yup wait a second
[06:44] <mike> HuibertGill, is there anyhtign with a similiar interface/comtrols as flash
[06:45] <HuibertGill> kane77: I think it is restored after you login again

[06:53] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:53] <Trini_Man> it ony works onlocal host
[06:53] <yeti> new2u: that's because you seem to need gtk1.2 for whatever you're trying to do.
[06:53] <sirbijan> anybody interested in my hard drive problem?
[06:53] <Trini_Man> need help with setting up mysql server
[06:53] <new2u> yeti:  than how can i use gtk1.2  whats the way out
[06:53] <TGPO> borg apt-get install build-essential bin86
[06:53] <Trini_Man> mysql server not accepting web connections
[06:53] <borg> Toma- : i already know about alien, as said before they advice against installing rpm's in ubuntu
[06:54] <leviathan> my system is freezy when active my NIC Wi-Fi with chip rtl8185l, somebody know why?
[06:54] <yeti> new2u: install it...
[06:54] <TGPO> borg that will deal with nearly everything you need to compile normally
[06:54] <Toma-> borg: ok, sorry, just joined
[06:54] <marginoferror> sirbijan: Well, I don't know what could have happened there
[06:54] <Trini_Man> ddfd
[06:54] <leviathan> help me please...
[06:54] <new2u> borg can u help me
[06:54] <borg> TGPO: so if i install that package i'll be able to compile anything?
[06:54] <marginoferror> sirbijan: But the question to ask is, is your computer functioning?  Does everything work when you reboot?
[06:54] <borg> new2u: sry cant
[06:54] <Trini_Man> mysql server not accepting web connections
[06:54] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: I'm looking into it...
[06:55] <sirbijan> yes, i only hope it's not really that i have to change my hard drive!
[06:55] <TGPO> borg no, just almost anything, that wont give you everything you need for a kernel compile and you still may need gcc
[06:55] <sirbijan> everything is fine in /dev/hda6, it just gives that error message
[06:55] <nolimitsoya> sirbijan, whats the problem?
[06:55] <borg> TGPO alright
[06:55] <sirbijan> i get the error message that there are differences between boot sector and its backup
[06:55] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: it is a fat32 partition? have you tried the microsoft checkdisk thing?
[06:56] <sirbijan> when i try fsck, i get this:
[06:56] <sirbijan> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/4X7q6T88.html
[06:56] <nolimitsoya> borg, 'sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-headers-`uname -r`' should give you what you need to comppile
[06:56] <sirbijan> yes HuibertGill , i tried
[06:56] <sirbijan> it gets fixed
[06:56] <leviathan> help me please...
[06:56] <leviathan> my system is freezy when active my NIC Wi-Fi with chip rtl8185l, somebody know why?
[06:56] <Toma-> new2u: make sure the package libgtk1.2 is installed
[06:56] <sirbijan> but when i boot into ubuntu and restart again, it's broken again
[06:56] <elfreakz> i wanted to install vlc
[06:56] <Garito> hi again!
[06:56] <julianx> i didn't follow your hard-drive problem
[06:56] <sirbijan> somehow it gives me the feelin that linux destroys something in here!
[06:56] <julianx> i'm sorry
[06:56] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: and later it get screwed up again?
[06:56] <sirbijan> i thought it's coz of Ubuntu's gparted
[06:56] <Toma-> new2u: that means running 'sudo apt-get install libgtk-1.2.so.0'
[06:56] <elfreakz> to download vlc should i download i386?
[06:56] <sirbijan> yes HuibertGill
[06:57] <sirbijan> but it's not gparted, coz in Fedora core i get the same error
[06:57] <marginoferror> sirbijan: More likely, linux is detecting a problem (or falsely reporting one!) that Windows does not detect properly?
[06:57] <Toma-> new2u: that means running 'sudo apt-get install libgtk-1.2' << revised
[06:57] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, just type'sudo apt-get install vlc' in a terminal
[06:57] <Garito> some help about enable direct rendering with an intel 82855, please?
[06:57] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: it is in the repos
[06:57] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: after windows repair, reboot, is it imidialty broken again? or after the second reboot?
[06:57] <sirbijan> maybe marginoferror
[06:58] <sirbijan> after rebooting into ubuntu, rebooting and then going into windows i see it's broke again
[06:58] <marginoferror> Hmm
[06:58] <sirbijan> so, first i go to windows to fix it, then if i go to windows again, it's ok
[06:58] <nolimitsoya> sirbijan, what is?
[06:58] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: maybe it is not umounted cleanly? (wildguess)
[06:58] <sirbijan> but if after fix, i go to linux (ubuntu/fedora), restart again, i see the problem at both linuxes boot up
[06:58] <sirbijan> it can't be in both linuxes
[06:59] <sirbijan> and lemme tell ya sth
[06:59] <nolimitsoya> sirbijan, you should never let windows mess with your linux hdds, or vice versa
[06:59] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya: it say could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (ll resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:59] <sirbijan> but after fsck ing it and choosing copy the original to backup, it got fixed
[06:59] <Music_Shuffle1> Yeh...bad idea.
[06:59] <sirbijan> but as for as this /dev/hda5, it never works
[06:59] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, close all synaptic windows you might have open
[06:59] <sirbijan> it just says leaving the file system unchanged
[06:59] <sirbijan> they used to live happily together nolimitsoya
[06:59] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: so fsck is not able to perform the copy?
[07:00] <Garito> anyone can help me to enable direct rendering with an intel 82855, please?
[07:00] <sirbijan> no, for /dev/hda5 no
[07:00] <sirbijan> but for /dev/hda6, it definitely did HuibertGill
[07:00] <nolimitsoya> sirbijan, doesnt matter. windows should never be alowed to touch your linux filesystems
[07:00] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, : now it say could not find vlc

[07:01] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, enable the universe repository
[07:01] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: how/who created the hda5 partition? windows or linux?
[07:01] <mauro_> we uaj
[07:01] <mauro_>
[07:01] <sirbijan> i don't remember, but i think Windows
[07:01] <mauro_> no you can create a partition with linux
[07:01] <mauro_> whit gpart
[07:01] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, enable repository in synaptic packagemanager?
[07:01] <lemonsCC> nolimitsoya: does he have the other repos uncommented?
[07:01] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: yes
[07:02] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, i see channels
[07:02] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: then run the command again
[07:02] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: is there something in the syslog when you try the copy in fsck?
[07:02] <gop> can't get networking to work with sheepshaver
[07:02] <gop> any one here know how
[07:02] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: dapper or edgy?
[07:02] <sirbijan> i never checked HuibertGill
[07:02] <gop> dapper
[07:02] <sirbijan> i don't know what syslog is
[07:03] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: might be interessting to do a tail -f on it, and then run the fsck
[07:03] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, eerrkk i dont know, im newbie .. now is my first experience with ubuntu
[07:03] <HuibertGill> sirbijan: syslog is in /var/log the kernel writes his messages there,
[07:03] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: go to system > about ubuntu and see if it is 6.06 or 6.10
[07:03] <HuibertGill> !syslog
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about syslog - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:04] <sirbijan> oh, thanks HuibertGill
[07:04] <sirbijan> i'll give it a try
[07:04] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, 6.06 LTS
[07:04] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[07:04] <spx2> cemil: solved that problem ?
[07:05] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: that tells you how to add the other repositories
[07:05] <lemonsCC> brb
[07:06] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, that is only when i get vlc from synpatic package manager?
[07:06] <Garito> some intel 82855 direct rendering help please?
[07:06] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: no adding extra repos just gives you access to more software
[07:06] <elfreakz> ok ok
[07:06] <elfreakz> lemonsCC,  will try now
[07:06] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: ok
[07:07] <gop> it sucks
[07:07] <ibert> rw: i solved it via iftab :-)
[07:07] <gop> sheepsaver won't work with networking
[07:07] <shiv> what program in linux can make use of external USB pen drive as extra RAM?
[07:07] <lemonsCC> what is sheepsaver?
[07:08] <sirbijan> thanks guys
[07:08] <sirbijan> see ya
[07:08] <HuibertGill> shiv: why would you want to use an usb stick as ram?? (unless you are from the microsoft sales department)
[07:08] <shiv> lol
[07:08] <HuibertGill> shiv: thats what a swap partition/file is for
[07:08] <shiv> vista does it now and I heard they copied the trick from linux
[07:09] <HuibertGill> shiv: ?? what.....
[07:09] <lemonsCC> shiv: if vista jumped off a cliff would you?
[07:09] <shiv> HuibertGill: Microsofts new OS vista has that feature
[07:09] <SilverDrake> what feature?
[07:09] <MrRio> realplayer flikers green in firefox
[07:09] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, after doing all that it say reading package list DONE
[07:09] <corevette> how do i uninstall xgl without getting errors in the xserver?
[07:09] <lemonsCC> ok
[07:09] <HuibertGill> shiv: but to answer your question, just create a swapfile on the stick...
[07:09] <shiv> lemonsCC: no but I sure would push you
[07:10] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: now in terminal type "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[07:10] <lemonsCC> shiv: lol
[07:10] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, it say could fine package vlc
[07:10] <shiv> HuibertGill: I got that
[07:10] <shiv> HuibertGill: thats neat
[07:10] <corevette> how do i uninstall xgl without getting errors in the xserver?
[07:10] <HuibertGill> shiv: but , don't do that, usb sticks are not made for many read/write operations
[07:10] <Music_Shuffle1> shiv, its really not designed as such.
[07:10] <Music_Shuffle1> the drive*
[07:11] <shiv> Music_Shuffle1: I see
[07:11] <Music_Shuffle1> Its not so much a bad idea as a horrible, terrible, no-good, very-bad idea.
[07:11] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: open up synaptic (system > administration > synaptic) and search for  vlc"
[07:11] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, ok then?
[07:11] <HuibertGill> Music_Shuffle1: but the idea sells well :-)
[07:11] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: did it find anything?
[07:11] <Music_Shuffle1> Yeah def.
[07:11] <elfreakz> nope
[07:12] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, nope
[07:12] <corevette> how do i uninstall xgl without getting errors in the xserver?
[07:12] <SilverDrake> hey, would anyone like to help me get my network going on the live CD?  I can't get connected to the internet or the rest of the computers in my house when I'm running the kubuntu CD
[07:12] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, do i need to update everything? cos there's like 64 update to download?
[07:12] <corevette> SilverDrake, wired or wireless?
[07:12] <SilverDrake> corevette: wired
[07:12] <Music_Shuffle1> elfreakz, only 64? Won't take long at all.
[07:13] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: try "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:13] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, ok wait
[07:13] <corevette> how do i uninstall xgl without getting errors in the xserver?
[07:13] <cjuner> corevette, you shouldn't get any errors.
[07:14] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, do u mind typing the code again
[07:14] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, sudo get whut?
[07:14] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: the first thing is "sudo apt-get update"
[07:14] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: after its done "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:14] <SilverDrake> if anyone wants to give me suggestions on how to get connected to my network using the kubuntu live CD, please pm
[07:15] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, ok its upgrading
[07:15] <lemonsCC> =P
[07:15] <cjuner> Is that a question?
[07:15] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: do you see an error msg?
[07:15] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, get used with xp, i see ubuntu like something weird :p
[07:16] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: you aren't used to the control i assume.  XP forces you to do things one way and one way only....
[07:16] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: with almost everything I do, it just says it can't connect to anything.. even though my current OS can connect
[07:17] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I wish I could have it up at the same time as I'm talking to you, but I have to be connected to my network to be connected to the internet
[07:17] <lemonsCC> XP = lemmings?
[07:17] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, yeah like my case there is something on my taskbar for upgrade.. but there's also other way to upgrade using terminal... looks cool
[07:17] <bclough> Hi all, I am trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop (asus Deluxe motherboard & NVIDIA PCI express) but for some reason when I boot from cd and try to install, I can't do anything...it just sits there and I think it is having problems with my video card...can anyone help?
[07:17] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: the terminal is good because if something goes wrong you can see the error
[07:17] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: so you do reboots? to get to irc?
[07:18] <atlef> bclough : noapic
[07:18] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: might be hard to diagnose....
[07:18] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, ic ic, is it always start with sudo?
[07:18] <bclough> atlef: could you clarify, sorry I am pretty new to linux
[07:18] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: what network card do you have?
[07:18] <lemonsCC> !sudo | elfreakz
[07:18] <ubotu> elfreakz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:18] <will_> Hey all.
[07:18] <bluefox83> has anyone experienced any trouble with the latest edgy updates in apt? just checking before i go updating xorg and such >.>
[07:18] <sorush20> ho wdo I find out if my computer is prescott or a pentium 4?
[07:18] <will_> How do I change my refresh rate? its stuck on 75 I need it on 60hz for my tv.
[07:19] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: not everything starts with sudo
[07:19] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: how can I check that?
[07:19] <will_> lemon hi.
[07:19] <atlef> bclough : at the boot prompt, press F6 and add noapic to that line and hit enter
[07:19] <Music_Shuffle1> bluefox83, its working fine for me, but I fresh-installed Edgy 64 off a CD.
[07:19] <lemonsCC> bluefox83: none here
[07:19] <ViViD> i have a debian sarge server that i want to upgrade to dapper.  i was wondering if theres a wiki or how-to on the web to aid people with this, or if theres a preferred or official method of performing this upgrade
[07:19] <lemonsCC> will_: hi
[07:19] <bclough> atlef: thanks!
[07:19] <Music_Shuffle1> sorush20, Prescott is a pentium 4 core, as is Northwood.
[07:19] <ViViD> does it work to simply change my sources.list?
[07:19] <lemonsCC> !hi | will_
[07:19] <ubotu> will_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:19] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: is it onboard or a pci card? post the output of "sudo lspci" in the pastebin
[07:19] <bluefox83> no, i mean the updates from a regular apt-get dist-upgrade or synaptic update >.>
[07:19] <will_> lemonsCC, : how do i change my refresh rate to 60hz instead of 75. there are no options
[07:19] <bluefox83> not updating from dapper
[07:20] <sorush20> I'm trying to use a swiftfox but I don't know whether I have prescott or pentium 4
[07:20] <Music_Shuffle1> bluefox83, You mean just apt-get update is working fine or not?
[07:20] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I can't really sudo right now... my current OS is slackware
[07:20] <Music_Shuffle1> sorush20, you can have both.
[07:20] <sorush20> Music_Shuffle1:
[07:20] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: in slackware the card works? but in ubuntu it doesn't?
[07:20] <lemonsCC> will_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[07:20] <lemonsCC> will_: may help
[07:20] <Music_Shuffle1> If you have a Pentium 4, it is either a Northwood core, or a Prescott core.
[07:20] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: essentially...
[07:20] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, i feel weird, people say if im using ubuntu, i cannot access my XP partition, but i can see my XP in ubuntu??
[07:21] <Music_Shuffle1> So it can be both.
[07:21] <frogzoo> !ntfs | elfreakz
[07:21] <ubotu> elfreakz: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[07:21] <Music_Shuffle1> elfreakz, yeah that's annoying. You have to mount the XP part's.
[07:21] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: you can READ from your XP partition but writing is very experimental
[07:21] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: what kernel version do you have in slack (uname -a)
[07:21] <atlef> bclough : there could also be an error with the cd you are trying to boot.
[07:21] <elfreakz> Music_Shuffle1, lemonsCC : dont u think its cool i can access my XP partition? so i can edit any file in it?
[07:22] <bclough> atlef: good point, i ran a check and it passed
[07:22] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: is your xp a fat32 partition?
[07:22] <Music_Shuffle1> Well, writing is not something I would do, but you can read i, yeah.
[07:22] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, should be ntfs
[07:22] <billytwowilly> so if I get a "can't read superblock" error when I try to mount a windows share does that mean the hard drive is toast?
[07:22] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: one weird thing I noticed was that when I went to network configure and told it what the default gate computer's IP was, then closed the window (after hitting apply in sudo), it would be blank again when I got back
[07:22] <atlef> bclough : good
[07:22] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: 2.4.31
[07:22] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: i would be careful writing ntfs and linux dont agree
[07:22] <bclough> atlef: so what does noapic do?
[07:22] <will_> Ok.
[07:22] <atlef> !noapic
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about noapic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <will_> I'm done with ubuntu. All that to change a refresh rate?
[07:23] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: hmmm, ubuntu uses the 2.6 kernel versions.
[07:23] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, so ur point is, never go to XP partition?
[07:23] <conreyt> anyone help me with gnomebaker? I installed it a min ago and I'm getting odd errors trying to burn dvd's.  CDs work fine.  error Here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36086/
[07:23] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: but I can't believe harwardware _not_ being suported that has been suported.

[07:23] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: you can read (ie: look at pictures, listen to music) but writing is not reccomended
[07:23] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: so what does that mean?
[07:24] <DanglyBits> will automatix2 for ubuntu amd64 install the 32 bit firefox with 32 bit flash 9 player?
[07:24] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, aarrr ic ic yet i still can see the XP partition there.... where else when im using xp, i cannot see ubuntu partition
[07:24] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: i got around this by making a fat32 partition and using it to transfer from XP to ubuntu
[07:24] <corevette> after i uninstalled xgl, it said i have an error in the xserver......now i'm stuck in recover mode and i don't want xgl...how do i fix this?
[07:24] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: you could try to start the network in ubuntu manually, do you have DHCP in your network ?
[07:24] <nomin> conreyt: it looks like you have the wrong dvd type
[07:24] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, yeah i have another partition, which is for shared = the partition is on fat32
[07:24] <nolimitsoya> conreyt, are you using dvdram for a drive that can only write dvd-r, or using dvd-r for a drive that can only write dvd+r?
[07:24] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I'm not sure... I'm really a newbie to the inner workings of computers
[07:25] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: there is something that will allow your to use your ext3 on windows
[07:25] <julianx> the problem with a fat32 partition is only the limit of capacity and the right access... i think
[07:25] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, www.fs-driver.org
[07:25] <nomin> conreyt: is your drive dvd+r or dvd-r?  you can only use matching dvd types with the drives.
[07:25] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, something allow me to use my ext3 on windows - like?
[07:25] <Emo_Samurai> Do you know where I could find drivers for a network card I just bought?
[07:26] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: see nolimitsoya above
[07:26] <ironfroggy_LT> i have installed cupsys to a seperate box, but when i try to browse to (its ip):631, i get nothing. what reasons could there be?
[07:26] <MrRio> How can I get totem to play realvideo?
[07:26] <Jhuri> hi all
[07:26] <corevette> after i uninstalled xgl, it said i have an error in the xserver......now i'm stuck in recover mode and i don't want xgl...how do i fix this?

[07:26] <ivoks> hi!
[07:26] <ivoks> we need you!
[07:26] <lemonsCC> !hi | ivoks
[07:26] <ubotu> ivoks: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:26] <Jhuri>  getting this error message: kernel/exit.c: In function 'eligible_child':
[07:26] <ivoks> if you are edgy user, help us build DVD for all
[07:26] <conreyt> nomin nolimitsoya: it's a dvdrw +/- drive and the media is DVD-R .. is there something else I can check?
[07:26] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: If you manually put the the network info somewhere you don't have dhcp.
[07:27] <ivoks> come to http://www.ubuntu-hr.org/ningi/ and upload your packages list
[07:27] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: most dsl hardware routers have dhcp
[07:27] <Jhuri>  kernel/exit.c:1054: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
[07:27] <corevette> after i uninstalled xgl, it said i have an error in the xserver......now i'm stuck in recover mode and i don't want xgl...how do i fix this?
[07:27] <julianx> you can use eassy-ubuntu for install the realplayer
[07:27] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I guess it is... essentially, if the gate computer has my IP address, I can connect to it and the internet
[07:27] <nolimitsoya> conreyt, try k3b instead of gnomebaker. make sure you a re using good branded dvd-r:s, make sure the brand of disc and writer are compatible
[07:27] <conreyt> nomin: I just reloaded this computer (it's my wife's) and I'm using the same spindle that I was using when it was loaded with windows...
[07:27] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, thanks for the ext2 ifs for windows link :)
[07:27] <nolimitsoya> julianx, never recommend anyone to use easyubuntuor automatix
[07:27] <Music_Shuffle1> !automatix
[07:27] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:28] <lemonsCC> ivoks: what is the point of this project?
[07:28] <lemonsCC> ivoks: dvd for no internet users?
[07:28] <Emo_Samurai> !drivers
[07:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:28] <ivoks> lemonsCC: one DVD with installation for all Ubuntu flavours + most used packages
[07:28] <BlueLaguna> I installed a package via apt-get -b source, but now the package keeps showing up as outdated, even though it isn't
[07:28] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, if i wanted to move files from xp to ubuntu partition, so i need to go to fat32 partition first, or i can directly move and copy it between 2 ext3 partition?
[07:28] <nolimitsoya> !msgthebot | Emo_Samurai
[07:28] <ubotu> Emo_Samurai: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops... ;-)
[07:28] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: good, then in ubuntu in a terminal try "sudo ifconfig eth0" , then "sudo ifconfig" again, to see if the network adapter is up.
[07:28] <BlueLaguna> Is there any way I can prevent this?
[07:28] <conreyt> nolimitsoya: it's not a hw issue, I'd rather try to fix it rather than load up a different package to work around it.
[07:28] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: not sure.. i never use the ext2fs thingy
[07:28] <ivoks> lemonsCC: ignore 'Breezy Badger'; it's for Edgy acctually :)
[07:28] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I'll try that... I think I did before, but I'll try again
[07:29] <lemonsCC> ivoks: i am using edgy..will upload give me a minute
[07:29] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, you can use ext2/3 as any other partition
[07:29] <Emo_Samurai> Does anyone know where I could get network card drivers?
[07:29] <nolimitsoya> Emo_Samurai, for wifi or wired?
[07:29] <Emo_Samurai> nolimitsoya, for wifi.
[07:29] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: then "sudo dhclient3 " to get dhcp.
[07:29] <corevette> after i uninstalled xgl, it said i have an error in the xserver......now i'm stuck in recover mode and i don't want xgl...how do i fix this?
[07:29] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, so if i wanted to move files from xp to ubuntu partition, so i need to go to fat32 partition first, or i can directly move and copy it between 2 ext3 partition?
[07:29] <nolimitsoya> !wifi | Emo_Samurai
[07:29] <ubotu> Emo_Samurai: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:29] <SilverDrake> alright
[07:29] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, you can use ext2/3 as any other partition
[07:30] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: you need to  know at which step it goes wrong.....
[07:30] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, that will sure no data corrupted?
[07:30] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: if it goes wrong, I'll write it down and come back here
[07:30] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: after all that is done, first try to ping your gateway (e.g. ping <IP_ADDRESS>)
[07:30] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, its reasonably safe
[07:30] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, thanks :)
[07:30] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: if you can ping ypur gateway, the network is up and running :-)
[07:31] <Music_Shuffle1> There's a degree of risk associated with anything really.
[07:31] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, unlike ntfs, ext is very well documented and open source, so its easy toprogram drivers for
[07:31] <ivoks> lemonsCC: great, thanks
[07:31] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: thanks!  I'll try that.
[07:31] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: for kicks, try to ping google.com after that.
[07:31] <devils_son> hi all... my usb keyboard is never detected on startup.. i have to unplug the usb cable and replug it and then starts working... i am running kubuntu... any help will be appreciated!
[07:31] <nolimitsoya> +1 Music_Shuffle1
[07:31] <SilverDrake> hehe, okay
[07:31] <ironfroggy_LT> is there anything extra i need to do to open the cups web server?
[07:32] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, but my XP partition is already NTFS... so i cant copy/move files from ubuntu ext3 to XP or vise versa?
[07:32] <nolimitsoya> ironfroggy_LT, a browser
[07:32] <ironfroggy_LT> nolimitsoya: yeah i got that part
[07:32] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, hasnt this been clarified a number of times? ntfs writing from linux is dangerous, and ext3 acces from windows is perfectly fine
[07:32] <freakytux> devils_son: maybe a driver? there are many on the net..
[07:33] <devils_son> hmm... i thought i wasn't missing any drivers since when i replug it, it starts to work... but i'll check for them.. thanks!
[07:33] <elfreakz> nolimitsoya, so if i use xp, i can get ubuntu file.. but NO/DONT when i use ubuntu to get something from XP NTFS.. am i right?
[07:33] <jori> nolimitsoya, there is a tabel same where whit you're change of succes its samewhere around the line's of 70 / 30 not damaging you're data
[07:34] <nolimitsoya> elfreakz, its perfectly simple realy, and i cant explain it better than has already been explained. jori, such tabels are ogus
[07:34] <nolimitsoya> *bogus
[07:34] <corevette> after i uninstalled xgl, it said i have an error in the xserver......now i'm stuck in recover mode and i don't want xgl...how do i fix this?
[07:35] <freakytux> devils_son: it can work without, but if you have problems, you should try a driver
[07:35] <nolimitsoya> corevette, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:35] <lemonsCC> ivoks: holy god thats a long list of packages...=)
[07:35] <cjuner> corevette, you probably have modified your gdm config, right?
[07:35] <lemonsCC> ivoks: uploaded
[07:35] <ivoks> lemonsCC: 2-3 thousand? :)
[07:35] <lemonsCC> ivoks: not numbered so idk but its looong
[07:35] <MrKeuner> hi, is it possible to have xgl or aiglx support without non-ubuntu repositories?
[07:35] <corevette> nolimitsoya i did that, do you think it should have any different results? i didn't change anything
[07:36] <corevette> cjuner, not that i know of...gdm config?
[07:36] <devils_son> freakytux: ok, i'll try that.. thanks
[07:36] <ivoks> lemonsCC: don't worry, it's not that much
[07:36] <ivoks> lemonsCC: everything bellow 2000 is normal :)
[07:37] <cjuner> corevette, gdm is your login manager (if you use ubuntu, in kubuntu that would be kdm). How do you start XGL usually?
[07:37] <lemonsCC> ivoks: 26 pages printed at size 10 font...lol
[07:37] <corevette> cjuner usually i just login...i never used xgl...i dont' even know why i had it
[07:37] <corevette> cjuner i don't want xgl anymore, thats the whole problem
[07:37] <cjuner> corevette, hm... that's weird.
[07:38] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: did you ever get vlc installed?
[07:38] <ivoks> lemonsCC: spread the word, so we can get even better results
[07:38] <corevette> cjuner how come?
[07:38] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, im still waiting for the upgrade to finish
[07:38] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: k
[07:38] <corevette> nolimitsoya do you think the dpgk-reconfigure would do anythign?
[07:38] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, still say 25minutes :(
[07:38] <lemonsCC> ivoks: will try
[07:38] <ivoks> lemonsCC: thanks
[07:38] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, and its like 2:40AM SUNDAY here
[07:38] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: slow internet or lost of updates?
[07:39] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: i went to bed at 4am last night =)
[07:39] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, i believe the connection is slow, im using 3G via phone as modem
[07:39] <lemonsCC> lots*
[07:39] <ironfroggy_LT> do i need to change some configs so that cups will allow other boxes on the network to access it?
[07:39] <cjuner> corevette, the ubuntu xgl package doesn't modify anything. You should just login to normal Xorg.
[07:39] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, where from?
[07:39] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: EST @ NJ, USA
[07:39] <ivoks> elfreakz: looks like DVD repo is something what you need :)
[07:39] <corevette> cjuner but it says theres an error and i can't log in
[07:39] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, I was so excited with ubuntu, thats why i stay up late :p
[07:39] <lemonsCC> ivoks: you silly silly man...he is updating
[07:40] <ivoks> lemonsCC: :)
[07:40] <elfreakz> ivoks, dvd repo?
[07:40] <lemonsCC> ivoks: you will include fluxbox and such or no?
[07:40] <ibert> anybody knows why wol is turned off while halting the machine?
[07:40] <ivoks> elfreakz: most popular packages on DVD
[07:40] <ivoks> lemonsCC: if it's popular, yes
[07:40] <elfreakz> ivoks, what can i do with it?
[07:40] <lemonsCC> ivoks: you want all my machines running ubuntu?
[07:41] <ivoks> lemonsCC: sure
[07:41] <ivoks> elfreakz: install from DVD, not from internet - faster, cheaper
[07:41] <lemonsCC> ivoks: will do....the pentium MMX may take a second..lol
[07:41] <elfreakz> ivoks, aaarrr ic ehehehe now i know
[07:41] <ivoks> ummm... i sound like those tv commercials :)

[07:42] <ortega10> how do i play midi files in gstreamer-based players or vlc?
[07:42] <ivoks> corevette: did you mess up with /etc/gdm/gdm.conf?
[07:42] <david83> i heared about gpl graphics drivers is it possible to start the 3d enhancer with them?
[07:42] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, i was like asking around about ubuntu, everybody is like giving me weird face :p as if im a nerd :p
[07:43] <corevette> ivoks, not taht i know of, all i did was a complete removal of xgl
[07:43] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: most people think i am cursing at them or something
[07:43] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, ahahah really
[07:44] <elfreakz> lemonsCC,  i was like making happy face to my housemate saying IM ON UBUNTU, and he just say .. oh ok :p

[07:44] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, they dont even want to know bout it.. all they know, its free open source :p
[07:44] <ivoks> corevette: what does 'grep Xgl /etc/gdm/gdm.conf' returns?
[07:44] <ivoks> lemonsCC: ubuntu-hr.org/ningi
[07:44] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: he runs XP?
[07:44] <UbuntuCE> hi.i have to main partition`s blocks- for windows, for linux, and shared one. what file system is the best for the 3rd?
[07:44] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, yea they all run xp, even in my college run with xp
[07:44] <ghoul83> fat32 :D
[07:44] <corevette> ivoks, # kills it.  10 seconds should be long enough for X, but Xgl may need 20 or 25.
[07:44] <lemonsCC> ivoks: thanks
[07:45] <ivoks> corevette: kills?
[07:45] <ivoks> corevette: that's grep :)
[07:45] <ortega10> UbuntuCE: it used to be fat32, but now with full ntfs compatibility through ntfs-3g, pick the one you like
[07:45] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, upgrades still 66%
[07:45] <corevette> ivoks, huh?
[07:45] <ivoks> corevette: just run that command and paste output
[07:45] <corevette> i did
[07:45] <ivoks> corevette: grep Xgl /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[07:45] <wajig> is there a channel for ppc users?
[07:45] <corevette> root@corevette-desktop:~# grep Xgl /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[07:45] <corevette> # kills it.  10 seconds should be long enough for X, but Xgl may need 20 or 25.
[07:45] <UbuntuCE> ortega10: ubuntu will can delete etc. on nts with ntfs-3d?
[07:45] <ivoks> corevette: oh... :)
[07:46] <ortega10> UbuntuCE: yes it can, and although that support isn't as old and stable as fat32, everyone says it works like a charm
[07:46] <lemonsCC> wajig: dont think so
[07:46] <Bakefy> Does anyone have a suggestion for an HTML editor?
[07:46] <corevette> ivoks, any idea?
[07:46] <lemonsCC> !ppc
[07:46] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[07:46] <corevette> Bakefy, quanta plus
[07:46] <ivoks> corevette: yes
[07:46] <neruatix> hmm, sould i install aiglx or xgl? i'm running 64bit edgy on a athlon 64 4200+ with a gf7600gt graphicsadapter
[07:46] <ivoks> corevette: ls -dl /etc/X11/X
[07:47] <wajig> wow,  so i'm the last guy on planet using linux  on an ibook ;-)
[07:47] <UbuntuCE> ortega10: ntfs-3d is installed stardardly with ubuntu cd version?
[07:47] <ivoks> lemonsCC: don't upload too many fluxboxes :)
[07:47] <corevette> ivoks, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 24 23:07 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg
[07:47] <Bakefy> corevette, I dont see that on the add/remove how can I get that... what repository?
[07:47] <ortega10> UbuntuCE: no, and it's called ntfs-3g
[07:47] <lemonsCC> ivoks: i only have 1
[07:47] <soulfreshner> hey guys, for some weird reason I can't get my networking back up if my wireless connection drops...
[07:47] <ivoks> lemonsCC: ok :)
[07:47] <soulfreshner> it works fine if I restart my machine
[07:48] <ivoks> corevette: so, when you boot ubuntu, gdm doesn't start?
[07:48] <ortega10> UbuntuCE: but you can install it easily with synaptic
[07:48] <soulfreshner> is there some service I need to restart (other than networking?
[07:48] <nolimitsoya> UbuntuCE, dont use ntfs3g for sharingfiles
[07:48] <Bakefy> corevette, I found it
[07:48] <corevette> ivoks, no
[07:48] <UbuntuCE> nolimitsoya: why not?
[07:48] <nolimitsoya> UbuntuCE, its experimental. use ext3 and windows driver from www.fs-driver.org
[07:48] <ivoks> corevette: grep ^0= /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[07:48] <soulfreshner> (using edgy)
[07:49] <corevette> ivoks, 0=Standard
[07:49] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, without any software yet, i cant run mp3 files? whats that rhythmbox music player for?
[07:49] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: open source fomats .ogg etc
[07:49] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, so at this time i cant play any mp3 yet?
[07:49] <freakytux> does anyone know a good tut about Cups? I don't understand it
[07:49] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: not yet
[07:50] <corevette> elfreakz you have to install mp3 codecs
[07:50] <ivoks> corevette: grep -A2 server-Standard /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

[07:51] <corevette> bakefy, gftp
[07:51] <fatsheep> is there a command line program that changes file-program associations?  (similar to properties>open with tab?)
[07:51] <swami>  anyone tryed the 2.6.19 kenel?
[07:51] <nolimitsoya> swami, yes
[07:51] <Bakefy> ivoks, corvette: I thank you
[07:51] <ivoks> corevette: hm
[07:51] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: should
[07:51] <ivoks> corevette: then it starts Xorg
[07:52] <nikin> yo i'm back :D
[07:52] <ivoks> corevette: did you check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[07:52] <ivoks> corevette: error should be at the end of the file
[07:52] <lemonsCC> anyone know if its possible to regenerate EXIF thumbnails?  I rotate, crop, redeye pictures and the thumbnail never changes
[07:52] <Bakefy> fatsheep, I have a program that does that it came with ubuntu edgy
[07:53] <corevette> ivoks i'll chekc it ou
[07:53] <nikin> i ame managing a server with ssh and mostly i use command line apps. I prevent stopping started processes on disconnect using screen, but when i run an X program when i disconnect it shuts down, coz it loses the X server, any idea how to slove that?
[07:53] <ortega10> how do i play midi files in gstreamer-based players or vlc?
[07:53] <UbuntuCE> nolimitsoya: thanks. is there a windows programm to transfor ntfs partiotion into ext2(3)?
[07:53] <corevette> ivoks should i put it in pastebin?
[07:53] <Bakefy> fatsheep, system > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[07:53] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I tried what you suggested, and I got errors
[07:53] <nolimitsoya> UbuntuCE, no thats impossibe
[07:54] <ivoks> corevette: yeah, that would be ok
[07:54] <Volstrup> anybody who knows when the mozilla-mplayer will be working together with Firefox 2.0?
[07:54] <nolimitsoya> Volstrup, it is as of right now
[07:54] <superjon> Volstrup: Use mozplugger
[07:55] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: when I sudid dhclient3, it did some pinging to <IP_ADDRESS> and said "No DHCPOFFERS received  No working leases in persistent database - sleeping"
[07:55] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: what did it say?
[07:55] <lemonsCC> anyone know if its possible to regenerate EXIF thumbnails?  I rotate, crop, redeye pictures and the thumbnail never changes
[07:55] <fatsheep> Bakefy: thanks but I'm looking for where *all* the file-program association rules are stored
[07:55] <Volstrup> superjon: mozplugger?
[07:55] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: then I tried to ping the gateway anyway, it said "connect: Network is unreachable"
[07:55] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: but eth0 is up
[07:55] <fatsheep> Preferred Applications is just for the web browser, email, text editor and a couple other things
[07:55] <nikin> fatsheep: that stuff depends on the file managger
[07:56] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: and eth0 has an ip adress
[07:56] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: it was actually trying with both eth0 and eth1
[07:56] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: ok, but do they have an ip?
[07:56] <corevette> ivoks anything specifically i should be looing at in that file...while it loads to pastebin??
[07:56] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: I don't see why they shouldn't... I wonder why it tried to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> though
[07:56] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: that's not my gateway
[07:57] <Volstrup> superjon: how do I configure mozplugger?
[07:57] <ivoks> corevette: 'EE' strings
[07:57] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: the dhcp client "pings"/broadcasts on the complete net available, for an dhcp offer
[07:57] <fatsheep> nikin: you mean nautilus?
[07:57] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: it is normal behaviour
[07:58] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: okay... it just kept pinging the same thing, though
[07:58] <nikin> fatsheep: i think so, i use ROX-filer and it has not he same assoc as i had with nautilus
[07:58] <superjon> Volstrup: Look in the wiki or google. Its not that hard
[07:58] <corevette> ivoks, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36092/
[07:58] <recu> i've heard compiz is no longer the state of the art for XGL. can i have a link where to look for?
[07:58] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: yes, it will try "forever" until an dhcp offer is recieved
[07:58] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: alright... I don't suppose I can tell it the IP of my gateway, though...
[07:59] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: have you tried to assign an ip manualy?
[07:59] <ivoks> corevette: upload whole file
[07:59] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: yes, but it keeps resetting when I close the window
[07:59] <ortega10> how do i play midi files in gstreamer-based players or vlc ?
[07:59] <corevette> ivoks, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36093/
[07:59] <swami> nolimitsoya do u have a sata hdd?
[07:59] <nolimitsoya> swami, no
[07:59] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: do it from the command line, it might be funny behaviour from the admin tool
[07:59] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: okay, how do I do that?
[08:00] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: you are in slack now?
[08:00] <nolimitsoya> swami, i havent used 2.6.19 either. i just know that someone has ;)
[08:00] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: yes
[08:00] <conreyt> why is it that gnomebaker can't write a dvd yet I install k3b and no issues?!?!?
[08:00] <ironfroggy_LT> does anyone have links to docs on configure CUPS for use beyond just by the localhost? i cant find anything anywhere and ive been reading all over.
[08:00] <nolimitsoya> swami, i was just being a smartass, instead of giving you the proverbial !anyone
[08:00] <SilverDrake> conreyt: because k3b rawks
[08:00] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: do "ifconfig" and write down the ipadress and default gateway.
[08:00] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: okay..
[08:01] <ivoks> corevette: according to this, everything is ok
[08:01] <swami> hmmm i have some problems with my sata...i activate the package...but it gives me an error
[08:01] <corevette> ivoks let me try restarting..please please stay on, your my only hope
[08:01] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: then loook in /etc/resolv.conf and write down the nameserver entries (not needed if you can access the slackware filesystem from ubuntu)
[08:01] <lemonsCC> is there a way to see the ip of everything on your network?
[08:01] <ivoks> i'm here
[08:01] <ivoks> lemonsCC: yes
[08:01] <lemonsCC> ivok: do tell please....
[08:01] <ivoks> lemonsCC: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24 for example :)
[08:01] <ironfroggy_LT> has anyone here even used CUPS?
[08:02] <ironfroggy_LT> or am i wasting my time?
[08:02] <ivoks> don't leave your home without nmap
[08:02] <corevette> ivoks, unless you had another idea
[08:02] <lemonsCC> ivok what is the /24 for
[08:02] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: wait, you wanted me to do ifconfig now?  if so, the command isn't found in slackware
[08:02] <ivoks> lemonsCC: your network
[08:02] <ivoks> lemonsCC: what's your network?
[08:02] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: then in ubuntu in open 2 terminals

[08:02] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: :-)
[08:02] <lemonsCC> ivoks: nmap command not found

[08:02] <ivoks> corevette: /etc/init.d/gdm restart - try that
[08:02] <ivoks> lemonsCC: install it :)
[08:02] <lemonsCC> nmap is the package name?
[08:03] <ivoks> yes
[08:03] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: then ifconfig should be available... (/sbin/ifconfig)
[08:03] <lemonsCC> ivoks: you never know it could have been nmap-common =)
[08:03] <HuibertGill> SilverDrake: try again please
[08:03] <corevette> ivoks, ok the error came up
[08:03] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: okay, okay, there we go
[08:04] <lemonsCC> ivoks: what do you mean whats my network?

[08:06] <ivoks> lemonsCC: then it's nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24 :)
[08:06] <SilverDrake> HuibertGill: nothing against you
[08:06] <ivoks> lemonsCC: your network is <IP_ADDRESS>/24, not <IP_ADDRESS>/24

[08:13] <KarboN> LjL, thanks! :)
[08:14] <KarboN> \o
[08:14] <ivoks> corevette: so, X starts, but gdm doesn't
[08:14] <james296> well, I get a feeling because of how fast ppl send messages on this ppl wont get my question
[08:14] <ivoks> corevette: then your gdm is misconfigured
[08:14] <corevette> ivoks, yes...because it's looking for xgl
[08:14] <ivoks> corevette: are you sure? how do you know that?
[08:14] <yhanno> I installed windows on a second partition and now i need help installing grub
[08:14] <LjL> james296: it's possible, but then repeating "well?" won't help much with that. myself, i've seen your question, and i simply don't know the answer
[08:14] <yhanno> my boot partition is located in /dev/sda1
[08:15] <corevette> when i do the gdm restart thing, it says GDM: XGL not found /usr/bin/xgl
[08:15] <yhanno> anyone_
[08:15] <ivoks> yhanno: eh...
[08:15] <james296> damn, I JUST instaled this again...and now I need to do it again just because of this? or is there a way to reset the default settings??
[08:15] <ivoks> yhanno: grab an install CD
[08:15] <ivoks> yhanno: you have rescue option on it
[08:15] <LjL> corevette: erm... perhaps if you've installed and later removed Xgl, you should modify back your config files accordingly ;)
[08:15] <ghoul83> how can i reactivate an linux system after a Windows Installation wiped out the bootloader infos?
[08:16] <LjL> Ubotu, tell ghoul83 about grub | ghoul83, see the private message from Ubotu
[08:16] <yhanno> cant i use the live cd?
[08:16] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, done but at the end it say E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[08:16] <yhanno> ivoks:
[08:16] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: thats find run "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[08:16] <PSP-Center> http://pspcenter.c.la/
[08:16] <ghoul83> LjL thx
[08:16] <LjL> james296: there certainly is a way, you just need to know what gconf key you changed :-P and i don't know that
[08:17] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, i think its working, asking me type Y/N
[08:17] <lemonsCC> y
[08:17] <lemonsCC> lol
[08:17] <ortega10> how do i play midi files in gstreamer-based players or vlc ?
[08:17] <yhanno> ivoks: can i use tge live cd?
[08:17] <ivoks> corevette: add your gdm.conf to pastebin
[08:17] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: you didnt have the right repos enabled (translation: it didn't know where to look)
[08:17] <james296> well, when I move windows, it actually automatically puts a grid like box in place of the window itself
[08:18] <ivoks> yhanno: i think so, yes
[08:18] <yhanno> how?
[08:18] <james296> but, is there a way to reset all of the settings to default?
[08:18] <Music_Shuffle2> Yeah.
[08:18] <Music_Shuffle2> Reinstall.
[08:18] <Belter_> anybody managed to get a Belkin FSD7000 wireless nic going in v6.10
[08:18] <Music_Shuffle2> There should be another, more educated way, but I prefer to just start anew.
[08:18] <nikin> ortega: is it a must to use gstreamer or VLC?
[08:18] <james296> besides reinstalling theres no point in doing that for one stupid thing
[08:19] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, so the thing i copy and paste from u, will get everything work now?
[08:19] <lemonsCC> elfreakz: most things
[08:19] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, what seem to be the problem just now?

[08:36] <borg> if ubuntu is debian based, why i dont get why it's not recommended to not use other debian repositories
[08:36] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, vlc cant import the whole folder to the player
[08:36] <lemonsCC> can it open a single file?

[08:38] <yeti> borg: nobody's saying that debian repositories will not work, it's just that serious problems might occur and nobody has the time to help you with these problems then. so: do it, but you're on your own with it.

[08:41] <ghoul83> Elendil  hmm
[08:41] <jmon> can anyone suggest a open source mmorpg for ubuntu?
[08:42] <ghoul83> Elendil  can you but up that system we are talking about and still be chatting?
[08:42] <corevette> yeti, yeah that didn't help....gdm is looking for the old xserver (xgl) which i uninstalled
[08:42] <lemonsCC> im not sure what repo java is on
[08:42] <Elendil> ghoul unless you can get irc up in the cmd line, then no, dont have my laptop with me

[08:44] <corevette> gdm is looking for the old xserver (xgl) which i uninstalled, and theres an error everytime i start onto ubuntu, so i'm stuck in recovery mode....any help please?
[08:44] <Elendil> is it in the cd ghoul?
[08:44] <Elendil> the live cd?

[08:45] <Elendil> when u go to start it on the cd
[08:45] <corevette> gdm is looking for the old xserver (xgl) which i uninstalled, and theres an error everytime i start onto ubuntu, so i'm stuck in recovery mode....any help please?

[08:45] <ghoul83> yeah
[08:45] <Elendil> nothing big though
[08:45] <Elendil> !cheatcodes
[08:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cheatcodes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:46] <vero> i would like help on Xorg.0.log
[08:46] <Belter_> anybody using a Belkin BCM4306 wireless network card with Ubuntu 6.10
[08:46] <vero>  i installed nvidia drivers
[08:46] <ghoul83> if you read the screen it says something about  F4-F9 which you can look at and stuff
[08:46] <vero> and can't reach my high definition
[08:46] <anchor> Hey guys what's the better purchase: 74 gig raptor drive with 8mb cache or 36.7 gig raptor drive with 16mb cache?
[08:46] <Ashura> !interfaces
[08:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about interfaces - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:46] <anchor> same price  for both.
[08:46] <xibalba> what's the main diff betwen ubunutu and say..fedora? or any other linux distro really
[08:46] <darius> ubuntu is debian
[08:46] <ghoul83> Elendil but maybe you could just unplug the second monitor?
[08:46] <xibalba> anchor, dont get raptors
[08:46] <darius> slightly different commands
[08:47] <elfreakz> lemonsCC, still there?
[08:47] <xibalba> they price/performance is no longer worth it
[08:47] <vero> i can see No valid modes for "1680x1050_75.00"; removing.
[08:47] <anchor> any reason why?
[08:47] <Elendil> hmm i tried ghoul]
[08:47] <darius> little things like sudo
[08:47] <vero> do yiou know about it?
[08:47] <darius> performance fedora is better than ubuntu
[08:47] <xibalba> they're only like 2-3% faster tan a sata drive now
[08:47] <anchor> hmmm, what do you recommend then?
[08:47] <xibalba> 16mb cache wd cavier
[08:47] <corevette> gdm is looking for the old xserver (xgl) which i uninstalled, and theres an error everytime i start onto ubuntu, so i'm stuck in recovery mode....any help please?
[08:47] <ghoul83> Elendil :/
[08:47] <xibalba> sata
[08:47] <susscorfa> when i cant boot with the live cd, do i have change when i install with a alternate cd for having a working system
[08:48] <xibalba> i dont see any difference between the linux distros
[08:48] <meefs> hey guys, how can I determine which version (LTS, EDGY) of ubuntu I'm running?
[08:48] <Belter_> Belkin BCM4306 wireless nic, anubody installed one yet?
[08:48] <darius> some faster some better different=ce in commands
[08:48] <xibalba> i've been using bsd too long
[08:49] <sanders> Can someone talk me through setting up wireless on ubuntu, am having a nightmare (am on ubuntu now wired connection)
[08:49] <corevette> xibalba some are better with different desktop gui, like ubuntu is mainly gnome unless you get kubuntu....but like SuSe uses KDE by default
[08:49] <xibalba> that's it?
[08:50] <dthomas> doesn't recent suse use gnome now?
[08:50] <corevette> gdm is looking for the old xserver (xgl) which i uninstalled, and theres an error everytime i start onto ubuntu, so i'm stuck in recovery mode....any help please?
[08:50] <deejoe> oh, so why the heck would 'aptitude install postfix' want to bring in emacs21?
[08:51] <dthomas> xibalba: there are other differences, like different package management systems, differences in what packages they include by default, support lifetimes, how up to date they are, etc.
[08:52] <dthomas> xibalba: but, yeah, that's pretty much it.  they've all got basically the same kernel.
[08:52] <xibalba> and same userland software
[08:52] <xibalba> im diggin linux for the desktop, but definetly not a server.
[08:52] <xibalba> been thinking of trying desktopBSD though
[08:52] <dthomas> xibalba: largely, yes.  some have different management interfaces, like suse has yast.
[08:53] <xibalba> yast == yum == pkg_add (BSD)
[08:53] <xibalba> it's all the same
[08:53] <dthomas> well, yast does a lot more than package management last time i used it, like various kinds of configuration (f.e. networking).
[08:54] <meefs> xibalba, ubuntu is probably one of the best desktop linux distro's I've ever used
[08:54] <lemonsCC> elfreakz leave?
[08:54] <meefs> its very integrated
[08:54] <dthomas> xibalba: it's actually pretty hard for me to sit here and think up significant differences.  i guess fedora and rh have selinux by default, and you might consider that significant.
[08:54] <ashmo> Okay... Hypothetical situation: the user who is also the admin and main user of a system wishes to mount a harddisk for porn^H^H^H^Hprivate data. What would be an apropriate mount point under the hierarchy standard?
[08:55] <meefs> can anyone tell me how to determine *which* ubuntu version I'm running?
[08:55] <killer> kkk
[08:55] <meefs> uname -a doesn't have it
[08:55] <xibalba> SE Linux I think came from the TrustedBSD project
[08:55] <ashmo> meefs: Are you on GNOME?
[08:55] <meefs> yes
[08:55] <lemonsCC> ashmo: you can set any mount point
[08:55] <killer> meefs really?
[08:55] <meefs> yes
[08:55] <ashmo> meefs: menu -> System -> About Ubuntu?
[08:55] <meefs> ok
[08:56] <lemonsCC> ashmo: media and mnt are the normal places
[08:56] <ashmo> lemonsCC: but that seems so upcluttering and random.
[08:56] <meefs> ok
[08:56] <meefs> cool
[08:56] <ashmo> Not to say non-semantic
[08:56] <lemonsCC> ashmo: howso?
[08:56] <meefs> like I had thought, drapper LTS 6.06
[08:56] <meefs> thanks
[08:56] <ashmo> OTOH, /porn may be a bit too blunt =P
[08:56] <thonisas> s
[08:56] <thonisas> #xbins
[08:57] <lemonsCC> ashmo: /media/private is better
[08:57] <lemonsCC> or /media/files, /media/dont_touch
[08:57] <ashmo> lemonsCC: isn't /media for CDs, etc?
[08:57] <cristi> hi,does someone has time to help me in a small ubuntu problem?
[08:57] <Music_Shuffle2> !question
[08:58] <ghoul83> :)
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about question - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <lemonsCC> ashmo: you can throw a HD there too
[08:58] <Music_Shuffle2> Gr.
[08:58] <nunod> cristi, dont ask to ask. just do it :)
[08:58] <mnoir> !ask
[08:58] <ghoul83> cristi just ask don't as to ask
[08:58] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:58] <lemonsCC> ashmo: media gets an icon on the desktop and mnt doesnt is the difference
[08:58] <cristi> my question is:how to install an aplication from the web?
[08:58] <pantalaimon_> damn.. configuring parallel port joystick on ubuntu is too complicated
[08:58] <ashmo> lemonsCC: ah, so mnt makes more sense if most users won't have access.
[08:59] <nunod> cristi, whats the app?
[08:59] <lemonsCC> ashmo: well they will still have access...IF they know where to look
[08:59] <ghoul83> pantalaimon why even use it? :D
[08:59] <cristi> opera
[08:59] <lemonsCC> ashmo: have it mount in YOUR home folder
[08:59] <mnoir> cristi: is it in source, exec, deb form?
[08:59] <ashmo> Not if it's -r, right?
[08:59] <cristi> it is an archive
[08:59] <LjL> !opera | cristi
[08:59] <ubotu> cristi: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[09:00] <lemonsCC> ashmo: you could mount it with nouser
[09:00] <neobyte420> hello all
[09:00] <neobyte420> i need some help
[09:00] <lemonsCC> ashmo: then only root can mount it
[09:00] <cristi> oke...i will lok over that
[09:00] <FirstStrike> neobyte420: ask your question
[09:00] <lemonsCC> ashmo: assuming you have the only root access
[09:00] <neobyte420> im tring to get around this NAT problem m having
[09:00] <ghoul83> !ask
[09:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:00] <ashmo> I do. It's mostly a private system.
[09:00] <neobyte420> im using Azureus
[09:00] <hanasaki> wehre is the "Reset passwd" on the forums?
[09:01] <neobyte420> i want to allow connections to get a better download speed
[09:01] <neobyte420> it says i have a NAT error
[09:01] <cristi> but??? what does root means and how i login to root???
[09:01] <mnoir> !root
[09:01] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:01] <neobyte420> do i need to change my iptables or portforwarding?
[09:01] <Jhuri> ))
[09:01] <neobyte420> and if so...how do i do that?
[09:01] <lemonsCC> ashmo: so you could a) mount it in your home folder b) -r c) nouser
[09:01] <Jhuri> nat is arouter thing
[09:01] <ghoul83> neobyte420 portforwarding!
[09:01] <ghoul83> neobyte420 in your router
[09:02] <neobyte420> im on DSL
[09:02] <FirstStrike> neobyte420: your modem probably has a builtin firewall
[09:02] <FirstStrike> turn on UPnP in azureus
[09:02] <neobyte420> my ubuntu box connects to the modem
[09:02] <neobyte420> i checked the modem
[09:02] <ashmo> lemonsCC: Hm... nouser sounds sensible. For some reason my NTFS drives are already mounted readable for root only, too.
[09:02] <brussel> I have a non standard keyboard and many basic keys aren't right. like the Escape key or the alt-tab. How do I fix it?
[09:02] <javaJake> Who here is running ndiswrapper, and is willing to do a small thing for me?
[09:02] <sparkling> did someone have tried xgl with nvidia board?
[09:02] <sc0tt> brussel: system > preferences > keyboard
[09:03] <neobyte420> the UPnP is running
[09:03] <ashmo> lemonsCC: That's "nouser" in fstab instead of "defaults", right?
[09:03] <brussel> I've played with system/preferences/keyboard, no luck
[09:03] <hexdream> Could anybody assist with an Evolution/gpg problem?
[09:03] <cristi> how to install a open source as SSH?
[09:03] <lemonsCC> ashmo: i think nouser would require you to "sudo mount </dev/blah>"
[09:03] <lemonsCC> ashmo: yes
[09:03] <ashmo> Aye. I'll do that then.
[09:03] <javaJake> Can someone check /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and /etc/modprobe.d/options to see if there's an ndiswrapper "options" entry in either?
[09:03] <blue-frog> sparkling: yes
[09:03] <lemonsCC> ashmo: you can always tweak it
[09:04] <javaJake> blue-frog, hey, where's your spam-protecting service gone? :( ;)
[09:04] <ghoul83> how can i register with this irc server? :D
[09:04] <lemonsCC> isnt ntfs passwordable anyway?
[09:04] <sparkling> blue-frog what howto have you used? or can you tell me what i have to do? i've tried a lot of howtos without results
[09:04] <javaJake> !register
[09:04] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[09:04] <dthomas> ok, i did another install, and i guess server installs no mta by default.  which is kind of, uh... weird, since mdadm starts by default and is set to e-mail root when there's a problem.
[09:04] <blue-frog> javaJake: got my nick since 1998...
[09:04] <cristi> how to install a open source as SSH?can u tell me???
[09:04] <mnoir> neobyte420: suggest you use google, looking for 'Azureus nat error'
[09:04] <neobyte420> can some one help me please
[09:04] <mnoir> !ssh
[09:04] <neobyte420> i have
[09:04] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[09:04] <ghoul83> if i start a private message with someone who is not register can he answer me?
[09:04] <javaJake> blue-frog, oh, ok. I was just kidding around anyway. You did know what I was talking about right?
[09:05] <sc0tt> ghoul83: no
[09:05] <blue-frog> javaJake: yes
[09:05] <hexdream> !gpg
[09:05] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto

[09:05] <javaJake> neobyte420, I've had that issue once.
[09:05] <kunee> hi i configured my xorg.conf to use xinerama. works fine so far BUT i'm unable to move my windows completely out of the first screen to the extended desktop. are there any settings in gnome/metcity ???

[09:06] <recu> i have no shared library ld-linux.so.2. What can replace it? (I have  ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
[09:06] <javaJake> Can someone check /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and /etc/modprobe.d/options to see if there's an ndiswrapper "options" entry in either?
[09:06] <mnoir> dabju: have you tried #gimp?
[09:06] <brussel> I have a non standard keyboard and many basic keys aren't right. like the Escape key or the alt-tab. How do I fix it? Keyboard just gives you default layouts. I have a keyboard not supported by it though so it doesn't help. Keytouch is just as worthless. I need to find and edit the system file by hand.
[09:06] <dabju> thanks
[09:06] <javaJake> recu, I highly doubt you'll get an answer here with such a big question. :(
[09:06] <javaJake> recu, ##linux might be your best bet.

[09:06] <SniZ> hi
[09:07] <SniZ> i need help to install nvidia drivers
[09:07] <SniZ> who can help me?
[09:07] <brussel> So does anybody know what file I should start playing with to change what the keys mean on a system level?
[09:07] <Arwen> help! how do I format a usb flash drive?
[09:07] <recu> javaJake: executables which were working in Dapper are not working in Edgy because of shared libs....

[09:07] <beetlejuice> hello
[09:07] <Arwen> KNY, do I have to delete the original partition first?
[09:07] <KNY> Arwen, see what choices you have, pick the one you want
[09:08] <beetlejuice> i just installed ubuntu on my dell winxp machine on seperate hard drive
[09:08] <KNY> Arwen, no
[09:08] <recu> javaJake: let me check how it was solved in my laptop...
[09:08] <dabju> mnoir, I'm not getting an answer in #gimp
[09:08] <Arwen> KNY, do I have to specify a size?
[09:08] <javaJake> recu, OK, so it may be Ubuntu's fault, but that doesn't matter - what matters is that people here are probably not going to know. This channel is really more or less useful only for common problems.
[09:08] <beetlejuice> when i try to boot it says kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs...
[09:08] <javaJake> Can someone check /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and /etc/modprobe.d/options to see if there's an ndiswrapper "options" entry in either?
