[06:17] <Tweaker> troxor: I guess Im stuck with the damned beep then...Unless there is a way to tweak the acpi
[06:17] <swedekid> ok
[06:17] <swedekid> thanks
[06:17] <troxor> ether_c: probably, yes- lemme find a good howto.. one sec
[06:18] <troxor> Tweaker: yep, if there's even hardware that's generating the beep- I really don't know, especially since I can't hear it ;)
[06:19] <Tweaker> Troxor: Well thanks for your help, it atleast helped me solve what the problem was. I'll see if one of my tech buddies can find a way around it.
[06:19] <Tweaker> Peace ubuntu
[06:19] <mai> I think the beep is great
[06:19] <swedekid> what the... just restarted the virtual computer and its trying to get me to do the first part of installing xp again...
[06:19] <troxor> ether_c: you can add the commands mentioned here to /etc/rc.local  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-May/114644.html
[06:20] <ethan> yo, im tryin to unmount an ISO from my desktop, cant do it with the GUI, cant do it with umount!
[06:20] <ethan> what the
[06:21] <ether_c> troxor: thanks, I'll check it out
[06:21] <troxor> ethan: sudo umount /mnt/point ?
[06:21] <Dr_willis> ethan,  be sure all apps accessing the cd are closed
[06:21] <mai> kill processors
[06:21] <ethan> yeah
[06:21] <ethan> troxor: its a rosetta stone ISO
[06:22] <ethan> troxor: sec ill give you the output
[06:22] <troxor> ethan: you can use fuser to find the processes, if any, that are using open files: http://www.tech-recipes.com/solaris_system_administration_tips1106.html
[06:22] <swedekid> ah got it had to unmount the cd
[06:23] <ricket> wow, big updates just arrived. yay
[06:23] <ethan> its really a bitch to get the command in the file name is huge and wierd
[06:24]  * ricket waits patiently for Firefox 3 final :-D
[06:24] <swedekid> another quick question does stuff like sound drivers work in virtual box?
[06:24] <ethan> troxor : ethan@opimusprime:~$ sudo umount /Desktop/"Rosetta Stone Application v<IP_ADDRESS> [h33t PC CD IMAGE]"
[06:24] <ethan> umount: /Desktop/Rosetta Stone Application v<IP_ADDRESS> [h33t PC CD IMAGE]: not found
[06:24] <ricket> swedekid: yes but you have to enable it (pick ALSA :) )
[06:25] <eugman> Is it possible to install a program that was available in the gusty repos but not the ahrdy ones?
[06:25] <meltingclock> ricket: switching from firefox in xp to firefox in ubuntu freaked me out. the options/preferences arent in the same tabs lol
[06:25] <ethan> firefox 3 kinda sucks
[06:25] <ricket> meltingclock: yea i kno, i've never understood that either...
[06:25] <lyzium> im running 8.04 64bit with seperate home folder, am i able to install i386 and keep all my settings or bad idea?
[06:25] <ricket> ethan: hmm? how so? it's so much FASTER!
[06:25] <bazhang> eugman, xmms?
[06:25] <swedekid> yee.... i hav eno idea what you mean by pick alsa <--- nooblet at computers
[06:25] <usser> lyzium, yea sure u can do that
[06:25] <ricket> ethan: although if you're talking about beta 5... i didn't like beta 5, it crashed more than beta 4. i use rc1 now and no more crashing :)
[06:26] <eugman> bazhang, actually no. It's an obscure program called supercollider
[06:26] <ethan> ricket: maybe my box is doing something to it, but it seems a little like glitchy
[06:26] <troxor> ethan: /Desktop probably doesn't exist- check `cat /proc/mounts`, then use tab completion instead of the quotes
[06:26] <lyzium> usser, thanks for verifying :)
[06:26] <ethan> sometimes itll freeze on me
[06:26] <vincenzofehring> how do i login as the root into the ubuntu 8 gui?
[06:26] <ethan> or kind of flash almost
[06:26] <ricket> swedekid: when you find the sound options, which aren't hard to find, change from disabled to alsa (not oss). you'll see when you get there
[06:26] <ethan> troxor:ok
[06:26] <troxor> !root
[06:26] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i clode a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:26] <tmapj> can someone tell me how to unlock the keyrings automatically?
[06:26] <ethan> troxor: using ls in the terminal shows /Desktop?
[06:26] <ricket> ethan: i've had a few small incidents where it did kinda freeze.... and just now when i was configuing compiz it had a weird graphics glitch that required minimize and then restore... but for the most part it's awesome
[06:26] <troxor> vincenzofehring: if you insist, `sudo -i`
[06:27] <vincenzofehring> sudo -i?
[06:27] <ethan> ricket: yeah other than that i do like it
[06:27] <vincenzofehring> that will allow me to do things as a root?
[06:27] <ricket> vincenzofehring: sudo allows you to do things as root too...
[06:28] <afabian> I've still got firefox beta 5 on Hardy.  Anyone know how long it'll be till some release candidate or something propagates through?  beta 5 is plenty stable for me, but I had a rendering problem on a site I frequent.
[06:28] <troxor> ethan: find the real mountpoint with `cat /proc/mounts`, then do sudo umount the full path you find
[06:28] <tmapj> can anyone tell me how to unlock the keyrings automatically?
[06:28] <troxor> tmapj: there's a pam keyring package that should be installed automatically on hardy (and gutsy too?)
[06:28] <usser> afabian, enable hardy-proposed updates rc1 is already there
[06:28] <eugman> So does anyone know how I can access a gusty packages? Would adding the gutsy repos break anything?
[06:29] <dxh4436> hello everyone... quick question... just installed ubuntu for the first time... i cant figure out how to get wireless internet working... any help would be great... im sure its something easy
[06:29] <tmapj> whats the name of the pam keyring package
[06:29] <troxor> tmapj: libpam-keyring, iirc
[06:29] <ricket> dxh4436: in the top-right corner, left-click the picture of two computers. if you see a list of wireless networks, you're golden; if not.. it's much harder to get your card working
[06:29] <troxor> tmapj: it only works if your keyring password is the same as your login password
[06:29] <dxh4436> yeah theres no list :(
[06:30] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:30] <bazhang> eugman, you seen this-->http://www.nabble.com/SuperCollider-packages-for-the-upcoming-Ubuntu-release-td16322208.html
[06:30] <ricket> dxh4436: i recommend searching google for something like "ubuntu [your card]" (no quotes)
[06:30] <ricket> dxh4436: you will probably have to use ndiswrapper like I do; try to find a tutorial of someone else who has already gotten their same-model card working
[06:30] <bazhang> dxh4436, open a terminal and type ifconfig-->are there three entries or two
[06:30] <dxh4436> alright, thanks... thought maybe there was something else i was missing... the hardware tester had the name of my card correct
[06:30] <KalEl> hi i created a new partition, but how do i add it to the fstab? what is the UUID?
[06:31] <Dr_willis> !uuid | KalEl
[06:31] <ethan> troxor: I just got a giant output here
[06:31] <dxh4436> let me check that ipconfig, one sec
[06:31] <eugman> bazhang, I have not. Until recently I thought itwas mac only anyway
[06:31] <bazhang> dxh4436, if not ip
[06:31] <ethan> troxor: ill try rooting around in the terminal, will report back
[06:31] <dxh4436> ipconfig says command not found
[06:32] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox (3 beta 5) and i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:32] <bazhang> dxh4436, iF not iP
[06:32] <amenado> dxh4436-> this is not windows
[06:32] <Dr_willis> dxh4436,  i think its ipconfig in windows, and ifconfig in linux :)
[06:32] <tmapj> troxor i couldn't find anything in synaptic under libpam
[06:32] <KalEl> thanks... is there any automatic way to create an entry for my new partition in fstab?
[06:32] <dxh4436> haha ok lets try again
[06:32] <troxor> tmapj: oops, sorry- it's libpam-gnome-keyring
[06:32] <dxh4436> only 2 entries
[06:32] <ricket> theFATMAN: try running firefox in safe mode, it is probably due to an extension or plugin
[06:32] <eugman> bazhang, sweet it works. Thanks
[06:33] <bazhang> dxh4436, please pastebin output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com
[06:33] <amenado> KalEl-> you have to do it manually
[06:33] <bazhang> eugman nice :)
[06:33] <tmapj> troxor, i already have it installed
[06:33] <bazhang> !paste | dxh4436
[06:34] <troxor> tmapj: is the keyring password the same as your login password?
[06:34] <ethan> troxor: does this look like it would be a rosetta stone CD? i think it does
[06:34] <tmapj> yes
[06:34] <ethan> troxor: /dev/loop1 /home/ethan/Desktop/untitled\040folder iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0
[06:34] <theFATMAN> ricket: you think that would cause it to reboot? that cant be right, there is no plugin or ext that has access to my OS, not on my system
[06:34] <___Alex___> can anyone recommend whether I should use cpufreqd, cpudyn or the default powernowd for the best frequency handling on a Pentium-M processor?  Dothan?
[06:34] <troxor> ethan: quite possibly, yes :)
[06:34] <troxor> ethan: sudo umount /home/ethan/Desktop/untitl<tab>
[06:34] <dxh4436> so i just put my name in the "poster" text field?
[06:35] <ricket> theFATMAN: i dunno lol. that would be my first step tho... i can't begin to guess why it would reboot, other than some sort of corruption or driver incompatibility or something
[06:35] <tmapj> troxor,  yes the passwords are the same
[06:35] <troxor> tmapj: hm, do you use automatic login with GDM ?
[06:35] <tmapj> yes
[06:35] <theFATMAN> ricket: yeah its driving me nuts, i cant find anything on google about it
[06:35] <ethan> troxor: youre a dream! worked like a charm
[06:36] <troxor> tmapj: then try making your keyring password blank
[06:36] <ethan> troxor: guess i just had the filename wrong
[06:36] <troxor> ethan: awesome
[06:36] <tmapj> how do i reset it?
[06:36] <dxh4436> alright guys... i pasted it... hope it did it correctly
[06:36] <troxor> ethan: tab completien will save you from typos
[06:36] <ethan> troxor: thanks !!
[06:36] <bazhang> dxh4436, give us the url
[06:36] <gregbrady> Hey guys....I'm still looking for a good gui based database solution in Linux.  To date I've not found one worth a second look.  Any ideas?
[06:36] <dxh4436> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15928/
[06:36] <troxor> tmapj: seahorse will do it, iirc
[06:36] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:36] <tmapj> whats iirc?
[06:36] <troxor> tmapj: if I recall/remember correctly
[06:37] <tmapj> thnx
[06:37] <theFATMAN> tmapj:internet relay chat
[06:37] <ricket> theFATMAN: no, that's IRC
[06:37] <ricket> :)
[06:37] <theFATMAN> ricket: doh!
[06:37] <theFATMAN> ricket: i thought he typed it by mistake
[06:38]  * ricket rotates around the cube, closing all his windows and getting ready to sign off...
[06:38] <troxor> tmapj: the automatic keyring stuff is kinda annoying, imho; they want you to type in your password at least once, be it at the GDM login screen or for a keyring unlock :)
[06:38] <tmapj> so you dont have an automatic keyring?
[06:38] <bazhang> http://jimvernon.com/archives/53 dxh4436  take a look here
[06:38] <dxh4436> thanks baz!
[06:39] <ricket> reason #9 why i am now using ubuntu more than vista: compiz + desktop cube = major wow factor (haha, and microsoft brags about their thick translucent window borders...)
[06:39] <ricket> anyway it's been fun but i should get some sleep. g'nite all! :)
[06:40] <tmapj> whats compiz
[06:40] <tmapj> !compiz
[06:41] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:41] <KalEl> if i use e2label to label a disk, will that erase existing data?
[06:41] <poopah> hey guys
[06:42] <fbn> hi, is it possible to configure postfix to forward incoming mail to another server?
[06:42] <poopah> Can someone assist me with these problems im having with ubuntu 8.04 in a personal message regarding wireless issues and compiz issues
[06:42] <poopah> Iv been able to fix these problems on my own before just using the standard methods
[06:43] <troxor> tmapj: at one point, probably
[06:43] <poopah> but somthing tells me im going to have to go through a bunch of bs to get this stuff to work properly
[06:43] <Dr_willis> KalEl,  it never has for me. You may need to reboot for the system to see the new label
[06:43] <KalEl> great man thanks
[06:44] <poopah> compiz keeps shutting off as I use it, and my wireless wont connect to the router even though im connected right by it
[06:45] <loluser> Hey im trying to rip music from a CD, using sound-juicer, tho the option to rip in mp3 format is there and i have clicked "active" the bloody thing is still not showing up in the opt
[06:45] <loluser> ions
[06:45] <moonyloony> when i try to add compiz from the synaptics managers it says that i'm required to download other softwar as well...then i press mark and i get the following error:Could not mark all packages for installation. The following packages have unresolvanle dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled. So what repositories i should add?
[06:46] <loluser> how do i get it to work?
[06:46] <troxor> poopah: what does the wireless problem do?
[06:46] <poopah> like right at start up compiz stops working whenever i use any of the fueture
[06:46] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:46] <Flannel> moonyloony: which packages?  does it tell you?
[06:46] <poopah> well I reinstalled the cd this time hooked up to the internet
[06:46] <poopah> through ethernet
[06:46] <troxor> loluser: try using grip- sound-juicer annoyed me
[06:46] <poopah> and once I unplugged it
[06:46] <poopah> and I try to acess our router
[06:46] <loluser> ok thanks troxor
[06:46] <poopah> which is password free
[06:46] <moonyloony> flannel:
[06:46] <moonyloony>  Depends: compiz-core but it is not going to be installed
[06:46] <moonyloony>  Depends: compiz-plugins but it is not going to be installed
[06:46] <moonyloony>  Depends: compiz-gnome but it is not going to be installed
[06:46] <loluser> is it in the repo's?
[06:46] <FloodBot3> moonyloony: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:46] <poopah> it ust doesnt connect
[06:47] <Flannel> moonyloony: and which package are you installing?
[06:47] <moonyloony> compiz
[06:47] <joe_chat> upgrade manager syncs incorrectly asks for partial upgrade and fails i update every day so far since 8.04lts releases WHY?
[06:47] <troxor> poopah: so you can't connect to your wireless router ?
[06:47] <poopah> it says attempting to connect to "access point"
[06:47] <poopah> nope but this computer is connecting fine
[06:47] <theFATMAN> moonyloony: compiz comes with hardy by default
[06:47] <poopah> so does all of the toher computer in the house
[06:47] <troxor> poopah: try this- in terminal, tail -f /var/log/daemon.log
[06:47] <Flannel> moonyloony: Also, its called compiz-fusion now
[06:48] <troxor> poopah: then, try to connect to your wireless networ
[06:48] <dxh4436> bazhang:   following the directions but it says E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[06:48] <swedekid> ok just deleted the partition for xp and its unallocated, now how doi had that space to ubuntus partition?
[06:49] <ricree> how do you go about mounting a drive so that it is owned by a user instead of root?
[06:49] <moonyloony> flannel: i had unninstalled the compiz because it didn't worked...
[06:50] <ricree> the man page seemed to suggest that -o user would work, but I got an error with "sudo mount -o user=myusername /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mountpoint/"
[06:50] <troxor> ricree: try pmount
[06:50] <moonyloony> flannel : i have ubuntu 7.10
[06:50] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:51] <moonyloony> flannel: what should i do?
[06:51] <Flannel> !compiz | moonyloony
[06:51] <ricree> troxor: thank you
[06:52] <poopah> hey troxor
[06:52] <poopah> can I message you on here?
[06:52] <troxor> poopah: I don't mind, though anything said here can be corrected/amended by people smarter than me :)
[06:53] <poopah> itll help me to focus on shit too much stuff going on at once in this room
[06:53] <gregbrady> So, there is not one decent alternative to Microsoft Access out there in the Linux world?
[06:53] <Lo_Pan> nothing like access could be described a "decent alternative"
[06:53] <swedekid> ok, im using gparted and i have 60 gigs of unallocated space how do i put that space in my ubuntu partition?
[06:54] <Lo_Pan> the nature of access and ms jet makes sure of that
[06:54] <gregbrady> Lo_Pan: I'm not sure I understand you.  Are you saying there is nothing like it?
[06:54] <max_> hello
[06:55] <max_> I have a problem
[06:55] <AdemoS> Ubuntu Hardy - Random Freezing: I was thinking of using Hardy with Gusty's kernel, until the freezing issues were fixed (maybe in Ibex) but, I'm worried that the older kernel will cause conflicts with newer software. Will it?
[06:55] <troxor> swedekid: depending on where on the disk the (now deleted) xp partition was, you might run into some issues, but you can use something like gparted live cd to expand/move your partition
[06:55] <Lo_Pan> gregbrady: postgresql/mysql would be what i would use in place of access
[06:55] <swedekid> k where can i get that?
[06:55] <gregbrady> Lo_Pan: Yes, but to archaic of an interface.  I want a speedy gui interface.
[06:56] <Gluteus> Will gparted work in a raid context?
[06:56] <troxor> swedekid: gparted.sourceforge.net
[06:56] <swedekid> thanks
[06:56] <Lo_Pan> gregbrady: i have no idea, googles perhaps
[06:56] <max_> hello
[06:56] <max_> I have a problem
[06:56] <xristo> no
[06:56] <diefordethklok> Can anyone help me to get my microphone to work?
[06:57] <diefordethklok> It plugs into the analogue jacks on the front of my computer.
[06:57] <troxor> gregbrady: have you tried kexi ?
[06:57] <legend2440> gregbrady: http://www.kexi-project.org/
[06:57] <swedekid> is there any way i can use the livecd wihtout burning it to a cd? i don't have any blank cds
[06:57] <troxor> gregbrady: or knoda
[06:57] <gregbrady> troxor: Yeah, worse than Open Office
[06:57] <diefordethklok> wubi swedekid?
[06:58] <swedekid> wubi? is that an iso mounter for ubuntu or something?
[06:58] <gregbrady> legend2440: Thanks for the help btw.  Your technique fixed up all of my machines
[06:58] <troxor> swedekid: you can put it on a usb stick, if your machine supports booting from usb
[06:58] <AdemoS> swedekid, you could run from a USB Flash Disk instead http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[06:58] <AdemoS> troxor, you win :P
[06:58] <legend2440> gregbrady: thats good yw
[06:58] <troxor> AdemoS: gg ;)
[06:59] <diefordethklok> Serdekid: No, wubi is an ubuntu install that you can get rid of by removing through windows using add/remove
[06:59] <swedekid> oh wait i got a blank dvd right here yay
[06:59] <theFATMAN> for some reason when i am in firefox, i close a tab, my system randomly reboots, whats going on, and how do i fix it?
[06:59] <AdemoS> troxor, any idea about my question?
[06:59] <troxor> theFATMAN: is this reproduceable?
[06:59] <theFATMAN> troxor: can u clarify?
[06:59] <diefordethklok> Can you repeat this theFATMAN
[06:59] <troxor> AdemoS: I believe you can use older kernels with no (or very few problems)
[07:00] <theFATMAN> troxor: it just randomly happens
[07:00] <AdemoS> troxor, what problems (if any) do you think I should I be aware of?
[07:00] <troxor> theFATMAN: are you using compositing or compiz-fusion ?
[07:00] <swedekid> huh anyone know whta time it is central us time?
[07:00] <diefordethklok> !microphone
[07:00] <diefordethklok> swedekid: 1 am :)
[07:00] <swedekid> ah
[07:00] <theFATMAN> troxor: yes, and have for awhile now with no problems
[07:00] <swedekid> though my clock was off i got 9 pm >.<
[07:01] <diefordethklok> !mic
[07:01] <troxor> AdemoS: some things that compile against kernel headers, such as restricted-drivers, and their kin, might be a little off
[07:01] <diefordethklok> !helpme
[07:01] <gregbrady> legend2440: I'm just a little surprised that there is not a better developed, more mature database program in Linux.
[07:01] <troxor> AdemoS: though I'm not sure- it's worth a try, since you can have multiple kernel versions installed simultaneously
[07:01] <AdemoS> swedekid, google is your friend :P http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/central-time/
[07:01] <`KoRn> hello how can i burn dvd movies with subtitles? thanks
[07:01] <troxor> theFATMAN: what kind of video card/drivers are you using?
[07:02] <swedekid> woulda taken me 4 min got several download running on computer downstairs so i have no bandwidth
[07:02] <kari> how to install screansaver plugin in compiz fusion
[07:02] <troxor> AdemoS: glibc might whine too, though I'm not entirely sure- it's one of those 'try it and see' type situations :\
[07:02] <theFATMAN> troxor: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT w/ restricted drivers
[07:02] <joe_chat> upgrade manager syncs incorrectly asks for partial upgrade and fails i update every day so far since 8.04lts release WHY?
[07:02] <swedekid> and its just so much easier to ask one of yall haha
[07:02] <legend2440> gregbrady: i've never tried any of them. openoffice base is no good?
[07:02] <AdemoS> troxor, hmm, I was hoping for stability + new software combatibility, seems like both may be at risk with my idea :C
[07:02] <vecciora> My clock was error. I've edited /etc/default/rcS to utc=no.
[07:02] <`KoRn> is there a channel for dvd buring here in ubuntu?
[07:02] <vecciora> So what should I do?
[07:02] <gregbrady> legend2440: No, not that great.  Very buggy.  Crashes a lot and not all that powerful.
[07:03] <AdemoS> swedekid, oh then it's 1:02 a.m.
[07:03] <troxor> theFATMAN: try turning off the fancy desktop effects, since you have restricted drivers, and then stress out firefox and see if you can get it to crash
[07:03] <swedekid> huh is there any way to like drag or drop files or something between virtual box runnin xp and linux?
[07:04] <troxor> AdemoS: you might also looking into backporting or recompiling an older kernel, though that too might be more trouble than it's worth
[07:04] <gregbrady> Can one run Access via Wine over a ssh session?
[07:04] <theFATMAN> troxor: i should add that i installed kubuntu-desktop yesterday, could that be to blame?
[07:04] <AdemoS> troxor, nods. I may just enable hardy repos, but I was worried about dependencies :x
[07:04] <troxor> theFATMAN: probably not, having more stuff installed and not running isn't going to make much difference
[07:04] <troxor> AdemoS: kernel shouldn't have many of those ;)
[07:05] <PCcertified> silly question here, aparently my console does not accept standard bash commands like CD
[07:05] <theFATMAN> troxor: huh...ok i'll try your suggestion, but its so random, its hard to initiate
[07:05] <theFATMAN> brb
[07:05] <swedekid> ....wtf.... im downloading a file at 900 bytes per second....
[07:05] <swedekid> 182 days...
[07:05] <PCcertified> where can I find help on the acceptable commands for the shell so I cn do something useful
[07:05] <AdemoS> troxor, I guess if I was stability, I have to wait for Ibex? Or do you think Ubuntu devs will ever figure out a patch to all the random freezing present in Hardy? Cause it's so frusturating to go from rock-solid gutsy to unpredictable-hardy....ironicly the LTS release
[07:05] <AdemoS> *want
[07:06] <vecciora> Someone can explain to me what is "wtf"?
[07:06] <Dr_willis> !find wtf
[07:06] <PCcertified> what is the default shell in ubuntu 8.04
[07:06] <AdemoS> vecciora, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wtf
[07:06] <Dr_willis> PCcertified,  for users bash, dash is the default system shell.
[07:06] <RudyValencia> Hm, I wonder how much Web page traffic my server would be able to stand up to. My server is a Celeron 2.4GHz with 1GB RAM, 200GB HD, DVD(+/-)RW, running Ubuntu server version 8.04.
[07:06] <swedekid> wtf = what the frick except its not frick
[07:06] <vecciora> Thanks AdemoS
[07:06] <swedekid> not much i'd gather rudy
[07:07] <troxor> AdemoS: yeah, hardy will be given attention longer than gutsy will, so you might have better luck
[07:07] <kari> how to install screansaver plugin in compiz fusion
[07:07] <RudyValencia> Oh?
[07:07] <troxor> AdemoS: er, better luck staying with gutsy until support runs out
[07:07] <drcheezenstein> can anyone help me out with this problem?
[07:07] <RudyValencia> It'd fall to its knees pretty quickly I bet
[07:07] <KalEl> ubuntu shows all my hard disks in Places->Removable Media for some reason... how can i tell ubuntu that they are permanent and not removable?
[07:07] <drcheezenstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15930/
[07:07] <drcheezenstein> it wont connect but every other computer in the house does!
[07:07] <swedekid> well of course i dont know much about servers that arn't counter strike servers butif youwanting a counter strike server it would fall to its knees
[07:07] <AdemoS> troxor, yeah I guess I will.  I guess I'll have to wait it out
[07:07] <vecciora> How can I use Yahoo! transport? I'm using Pidgin now.
[07:07] <PCcertified> hello ? noob question here.... where can I find the shell commands?  I can't seem to execute a simple bash command like CD
[07:08] <loluser> Hey im trying to reinstall sound-juicer, i just tried but obviously when im trying to uninstall this program a config file is left somewhere
[07:08] <PCcertified> this sudo crap bites
[07:08] <loluser> ffs, when i want something i want it REMOVED, not this old config shit left behind
[07:08] <AdemoS> PCcertified, just use sudo bash and get temporary root access
[07:08] <gregbrady> PCcertified: sudo works fine for me, what is wrong?
[07:08] <loluser> *removed
[07:08] <loluser> gaah
[07:08] <PCcertified> for some reason the shell refuses my password...
[07:09] <nickellery> kari:  go to #compiz for compiz support
[07:09] <Dr_willis> loluser,  the purge optiojn will remove system configs..  but that will NOT remove users customized config files
[07:09] <swedekid> wow...using a 4.7 gig dvd to burn a 80 mb file....i wish i had some regular cdrs
[07:09] <alan_m> PCcertified, is this a fresh new install?
[07:09] <PCcertified> thanks for that help Ademo
[07:09] <loluser> how do i remove those customized configs?
[07:09] <AdemoS> PCcertified, you're welcome
[07:09] <PCcertified> AdemoS:  but what shell is ubuntu using so I can learn the commands
[07:09] <alan_m> PCcertified, bash
[07:09] <docgnome> Is there a way to tell from bash if I have logged in via ssh?
[07:10] <AdemoS> PCcertified, hold on I'll grab the guide I found
[07:10] <loluser> i went and had a look in ~/.config and removed all the sound-juicer config files there, still trying to use old settings though...
[07:10] <legend2440> PCcertified: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[07:10] <PCcertified> then why does it not recognize cd /
[07:10] <alan_m> PCcertified, somethings aparently REALLY messed up, i dont have any idea.
[07:10] <AdemoS> PCcertified, here: http://www.linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
[07:10] <family5> type the other slash '\' not '/'
[07:10] <PCcertified> AdemoS: you found a guide?  can I have the link?
[07:10] <alan_m> PCcertified, look up :D
[07:10] <AdemoS> PCcertified, look up ;)
[07:10] <clayd> i am trying to install php5 and i am getting the following message.
[07:10] <loluser> ok, forget sound-juicer, whats a program that will rip tracks from CD's in mp3 format??
[07:11] <swedekid> so after i finish burning this just boot with cd and then resize the partition that simple?
[07:11] <clayd> Package php5-json is a virtual package provided by:
[07:11] <clayd>   php5-common 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1
[07:11] <clayd> You should explicitly select one to install.
[07:11] <clayd> E: Package php5-json has no installation candidate
[07:11] <FloodBot3> clayd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:11] <PCcertified> thanks
[07:11] <clayd> anythoughts
[07:11] <alan_m> PCcertified, your welcome.
[07:11] <AdemoS> ooh legend2440, I like yours too
[07:11] <troxor> loluser: grip ?
[07:11] <loluser> tried grip
[07:11] <PCcertified> you got that wrong
[07:11] <loluser> grip seems to think mp3 is a wav file -.-
[07:11] <alan_m> PCcertified, got what wrong?
[07:11] <troxor> loluser: how about cdex or cdparanoia?
[07:11] <PCcertified> when I use the \ it gives me a > prompt
[07:11] <loluser> ill try those ones now
[07:12] <PCcertified> I ha it correct to type cd / but it says the command is not recognized
[07:12] <loluser> is cdparanoia a cli program?
[07:12] <PCcertified> ACK
[07:12] <alan_m> PCcertified, can you try cd ~ to see if that does anything?
[07:12] <PCcertified> my boo boo... I had caps on
[07:12] <troxor> PCcertified: \ is an escape character, / is a path separator ;)
[07:12] <xocite> loluser: I would use abcde
[07:12] <PCcertified> how embarrassing
[07:13] <alan_m> PCcertified, heh, thats ok, were here for even user mistakes :D
[07:13] <loluser> xocite ill try that too
[07:13] <alan_m> PCcertified, i do that a LOT
[07:13] <loluser> idk wtf cdparanoia is, aparently i got it installed already lol?
[07:13] <PCcertified> thanks peeps
[07:13] <xocite> loluser: it's cli thought but very easy.  "abcde -o mp3"
[07:13] <alan_m> PCcertified, sure :D
[07:13] <xocite> s/thought/though
[07:13] <loluser> sigh
[07:14] <KalEl> all my media appears under 'Removable Media' for some reason
[07:14] <loluser> so its like abcde /path/to/cd -o mp3?
[07:14] <PCcertified> I'll bet it'll recognize my password now too
[07:14] <PCcertified> thanks again...
[07:14] <alan_m> PCcertified, welcome, again :D
[07:14] <alan_m> ok folks....ive GOT to get to bed now.
[07:14] <alan_m> its way past my bedtime
[07:15] <bigmcq77> wuss
[07:15] <bigmcq77> jk
[07:15] <loluser> oh wtf is this man lol
[07:15] <loluser> damnit
[07:15] <PCcertified> I noticed when I do su it does not recognize my password.   does that mean I have to use sudo bash ?
[07:15] <alan_m> bigmcq77, ill let it slide......this time.
[07:15] <bigmcq77> lol
[07:16] <AdemoS> troxor, so where can I keep an eye on, to see when Gutsy has become more stable?
[07:16] <Dr_willis> PCcertified,  use 'sudo -s'
[07:16] <AdemoS> troxor, *hardy
[07:16] <Tweaker> Yay! Im back. I also have a few questions about BitchX
[07:16] <PCcertified> so su does not work Dr_willis
[07:16] <bigmcq77> what did u call ne
[07:16] <Tweaker> Why can't I get bitchx to install, it says it can't fine Gmake
[07:16] <bigmcq77> me
[07:16] <troxor> AdemoS: subscribing to the relevant bug reports in launchpad would be your best bet, imho
[07:16] <bigmcq77> your the bitch
[07:16] <bigmcq77> x
[07:16] <alan_m> big, watch it
[07:17] <bigmcq77> hehehe
[07:17] <Dr_willis> PCcertified,  root has no password.. so correct - it will not work
[07:17] <Dr_willis> PCcertified,  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[07:17] <AdemoS> troxor, that could be true, though most of the bug reports are close but not quite my issue, but bug reports in general are a good place to get an idea, thanks a lot
[07:17] <PCcertified> ah I see, maks sense
[07:17] <troxor> AdemoS: no problemo- be glad that the ubuntu bug community is active and very good ;)
[07:17] <Tweaker> Anyone no why this is?
[07:17] <alan_m> dr_willis, thanks, you helped me find a page i was looking for ;D
[07:17] <AdemoS> troxor, heh indeed
[07:18] <PCcertified> Dr_willis:  thanks
[07:18] <Dr_willis> alan_m,  :) i got my Del.ic.ious stuff all tagged
[07:18] <PCcertified> does anyone here use pidgin /
[07:18] <Tweaker> PCcertified: Yes
[07:18] <Tweaker> Im using it now
[07:18] <troxor> Tweaker: install build-essential for gnu make, though why bitchX wants that is curious..
[07:18] <moDumass> hey all, i cant get ktorrent to open torrenta
[07:19] <Tweaker> troxor: it asks for it on the site
[07:19] <Tweaker> http://www.bitchx.com/faq.php
[07:19] <moDumass> even if i save the .torrent file to my desktop and select "open with ktorrent" ktorrent is open but the torrent file does not feature
[07:19] <Tweaker> The install instructions are pretty much straight forward, and when it asks for gmake it dosent explain why
[07:19] <troxor> Tweaker: ah, no ubuntu package immediately available
[07:19] <PCcertified> Tweaker: when I log on to freenode it fails to enter my password and connects me as justM1, do you know a work around?
[07:19] <troxor> Tweaker: it probably wants you to compile from source.. which obviously needs make ;)
[07:19] <Tweaker> Yes, you must edit the IRC properties
[07:20] <docgnome> is there a way I can tell if a user is logged in via ssh?
[07:20] <Tweaker> Troxor: yes Im compiling it
[07:20] <loluser> can you not convert wav songs on a cd to mp3 format onto your pc with Ubuntu or something?
[07:20] <Tweaker> :~/BitchX$ gmake .... bash: gmake: command not found
[07:20] <troxor> Tweaker: try  `make`
[07:20] <Tweaker> PCcertified: you need to go to accounts then edit the IRC
[07:20] <Tweaker> and then enter the password
[07:21] <Tweaker> ok
[07:21] <troxor> loluser: lame (CLI, but it's pretty good) will do it
[07:21] <Tweaker> ~/BitchX$ make /usr/local/bin/bash ./configure make: /usr/local/bin/bash: Command not found make: *** [default] Error 127
[07:21] <mooGirl> Tweaker, NFC, man
[07:21] <alan_m> loluser, you can, you need the mp3 codec's and oggconvert
[07:22] <AdemoS> thanks for the help all, later
[07:22] <Tweaker> Moogirl: NFC?
[07:22] <PCcertified> Tweaker: I think i figured out what I did wrong, thanks
[07:22] <Tweaker> PCcertified: No problem buddy
[07:22] <Tweaker> Also check out the other misc plugins
[07:22] <loluser> wtf is a "stdin/stdout"
[07:22] <hanasaki> as mail goes through smtp servers are new headers added at the top or bottom of the smtp header ... ?
[07:22] <Tweaker> A lot of random IRC pluggins, and it helps with auto rejoin etc
[07:22] <loluser> sigh all i want is to rip these songs
[07:23] <PCcertified> this channel is so much friendlier than debian
[07:23] <troxor> PCcertified: that's an understatement ;)
[07:23] <tenfar> loluser:there is a script
[07:23] <PCcertified> :-D
[07:23] <alan_m> guys, lets try not to use the wt* acronyms :)
[07:23] <Tweaker> So troxor: that didn't seem to help I got errors
[07:23] <ridge-meister> How can I recover files that were moved to the trash (I don't see them in there) when I removed the "albums" from Digi-Kam?
[07:23] <SwedeMike> hanasaki: stdin/out is what programs send their input/output to when they're run, usually your shell
[07:23] <tenfar> loluser:that me find it for you
[07:24] <loluser> its ok, i think i got this program figured, thanks
[07:24] <ridge-meister> I thought removing the albums from Digi-Kam would just let me clean up all the stuff listed in Digi-Kam.
[07:24] <SwedeMike> sorry, loluser
[07:24] <troxor> Tweaker: what kind? standard library/header file not found type stuff?
[07:24] <ridge-meister> For whatever reason there is stuff in the .Trash folder on my desktop, just not anything that was deleted by Digi-Kam :(
[07:24] <Tweaker> troxor:  Its a uhm... "make: /usr/local/bin/bash: Command not found make: *** [default] Error 127"
[07:24] <hanasaki> SwedeMike: thankyou but I mean when i read the text of my email.. like with view source in thunderbird
[07:24] <loluser> SwedeMike ya but that means about 1/5th of fark all to me man, im just trying to rip some songs from my cd lol
[07:25] <tenfar> loluser, you have found it?
[07:25] <loluser> yup i got lame sorted i think
[07:25] <SwedeMike> hanasaki: my text was for loluser really,
[07:25] <hanasaki> oh
[07:25] <tenfar> well,ok ,have fun
[07:25] <troxor> Tweaker: the hacky way to do it is to just symlink /usr/bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash, but that's probably not a good thing-
[07:26] <LaneLimited> Hello all! Might someone tell me how to change my password for my username inside Gnome?? Thank you!
[07:26] <SwedeMike> loluser: if you do "cat file | more" cat is sending the file to stdout, pipe means send that to stdin of the next command, which is "more", which displays the text but does page pauses
[07:26] <troxor> Tweaker: and you might have other issues down the line- any reason you wanted to use BitchX?
[07:26] <hanasaki> ok so when i view the complete email msg do the servers add header info at the top or bottom of the header section?
[07:26] <loluser> erm can i rip cd's like that?
[07:26] <Tweaker> Yes, because pidgin seems clunky and Id like to run to different IRC chats
[07:26] <Tweaker> not the same server...
[07:26] <Tweaker> like freenode and another one.
[07:27] <hanasaki> in gaim how can I turn off the notification everytime someone sends an irc msg to a channel?
[07:27] <Dr_willis> Tweaker,  i hate pidgin for irc. :) other clients are much better...   if you want a console irc client . try irssi yet?
[07:27] <SwedeMike> loluser: I don't know, you most likely need a program to extract the audio files and then send those to an encoding program.
[07:27] <loluser> how do i move to where the CD is in a command line box?
[07:27] <ridge-meister> Is there another Ubuntu channel here for beginners?
[07:27] <Tweaker> No I have yet to try Irssi
[07:27] <Tweaker> is it any good?
[07:27] <SwedeMike> irssi is the best.
[07:27] <Dr_willis> Tweaker,  give up on BitchX now then.. and go get irssi.  or xchat
[07:27] <Tweaker> Were could I get this at?
[07:27] <SwedeMike> apt-get install irssi
[07:27] <Dr_willis> Tweaker,  its in the repos :)
[07:27] <Tweaker> thank you
[07:27] <troxor> Tweaker: irssi is certainly superior ;)
[07:28] <Tweaker> If its better then I shall use that
[07:28] <Dr_willis> a sharp stick in the eye is better then Pidgin for IRC :)
[07:28] <Tweaker> Well it is installing, lets see how this goes
[07:28] <loluser> how do i find out where the CD is in the command line box? idk wtf im doing with this cli stuff
[07:28] <Tweaker> I really would love a sleek IRC program
[07:29] <ridge-meister> wow, this channel sure isn't as friendly as it used to be.  Guess the elites from Debian moved in :D
[07:29] <ajitam> hi if the iwconfig is for wireless witch cmd is for eth ?
[07:29] <SwedeMike> ajitam: ifconfig
[07:29] <SwedeMike> ajitam: depending on what you want to do
[07:29] <SwedeMike> ajitam: otherwise ethtool might be it
[07:29] <Tweaker> Ok guys I installed irssi and I can't seem to find it in my start menu
[07:30] <SwedeMike> Tweaker: bring up a shell, type "irssi" in it
[07:30] <Tweaker> ok
[07:30] <usser> ajitam, ifconfig
[07:30] <Tweaker> bad ass!
[07:30] <Dr_willis> Tweaker,  time to hit irssi.org and read some of its docs...  soon. :)
[07:30] <Tweaker> Is it easy to use? I'd like a simple IRC program
[07:30] <legend2440> loluser: install package grip its a GUI ripper . much easier than command line
[07:30] <ajitam> SwedeMike: my local network is very slow (1-2Mb) I want to set biget rate
[07:30] <theLichKing> how do i bind keystrokes to launch a program?
[07:31] <loluser> legend2440 i tried grip, only problem, it thinks wav's are mp3's lmao
[07:31] <xocite> loluser: Yes, that's how you use it.
[07:31] <neo_> Anyone know how to fix Window tearing... I have a problem with Verticle Sync on mY Nvidia card
[07:31] <loluser> i told it to rip the songs from the CD into mp3's to my computer
[07:31] <xocite> loluser: Actually
[07:31] <loluser> and then it turned them all into wav's lolz
[07:31] <xocite> loluser: you don't need to include path to cd
[07:31] <SwedeMike> ajitam: ethtool will let you set 10 or 100 megabit/s and duplex, but not more
[07:32] <ajitam> SwedeMike:  every time I restart comp. my wireless drops to 1Mb and I have to set it to 54. I'm guesing it's the same with eth
[07:32] <SwedeMike> ajitam: no, there is no such concept with ethernet, but ethtool lets you check what speed it's at
[07:33] <Carenthalas> Hi folks, need some help.
[07:33] <xocite> !ask | Carenthalas
[07:34] <tenfar> ajitam, is you wireless card bcm43xx?
[07:34] <Carenthalas> Have a P4 w/Nvidia FX5200 with me and need some advise to config to 1024x768.

[07:36] <natalisushka> Hello guys, I am having a big problem with my ubuntu 8.04. Before, the system was working perfectly on 7.10. I installed 8.04 when it was beta, and suddenly my computer started freezing everytime I start 3 or 4 apps that I had to unplug it to boot again. I reinstalled 7.10 and back to fine. Yesterday I upgraded it to 8.04 thinking maybe it was a bug fixed, but I am still having the same problem. What can it be? I have a laptop, 1700GHz Centri
[07:36] <natalisushka> no, Ram768 and swap around 1000MB. Please give me ur advice, what can I do?

[07:37] <a7c> I've installed ndiswrapper successfully, but my wireless card doesn't show up in my network settings, nor is the light on...wtf?
[07:37] <Crazyguy> Whtiger, try the alternative cd
[07:37] <natalisushka> What is gentoo? is it another system?
[07:37] <blankthemuffin> What is the name of the package with the kernel headers so I can install the nvidia drivers/
[07:38] <dxh4436> yeah... having issues with my wireless too
[07:38] <Whtiger> Crazyguy: I have. It got stuck on generating locales.
[07:38] <natalisushka> I mean another linux distro
[07:38] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: only manage to use default driver at 800x600, after using the new Nvidia driver as suggested for 3D, it falls back to 640x480.
[07:38] <zcat[1]> blankthemuffin: nvidia-glx
[07:38] <tenfar> natalisushka, btw,my laptop is hp v3210au,amd mobile sempron 3400+ 1G Ram

[07:39] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: when you installed the nvidia drivers did you use the ubuntu drivers manager or install the binary package from nvidia?
[07:39] <tenfar> natalisushka, yes ,anther distro
[07:39] <zcat[1]> blankthemuffin: you know it will break and have to be reinstalled with every kernel upgrade, right?
[07:39] <Whtiger> well thanks then. hm =(
[07:39] <a7c> I've installed ndiswrapper successfully, but my wireless card doesn't show up in my network settings, nor is the light on...wtf?..
[07:39] <|_DJ_|> anyone who can help me make my onboard-soundcard working? (board: fujitsu siemens d1567)
[07:39] <zcat[1]> actually, no.. with every reboot unless you know what package to remove?
[07:39] <blankthemuffin> yes zcat[1]
[07:39] <moDumass> and this is from synaptic
[07:40] <obake-san> hey, i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?
[07:40] <blankthemuffin> and no it's not every reboot, they work fine.
[07:40] <zcat[1]> cool... blankthemuffin you want build-essential package
[07:40] <magnetron> moDumass: did you upgrade from gutsy? associate your files with transmission (assuming you're running 8.04)
[07:40] <moDumass> magnetron how do i do that?
[07:40] <magnetron> moDumass: right click on the file
[07:40] <moDumass> im running 8.04 now yes
[07:41] <moDumass> magnetron you mean to associate a file type gotcha
[07:41] <blankthemuffin> Cool thanks zcat[1]
[07:41] <PCcertified> back again with an error when installing gspca   anyone familiar with it?   or perhaps anyone know how I can resolve this error CFLAGS was changed in  "/usr/src/modules/gspca/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS
[07:41] <LaneLimited> Hello all!! May anyone tell me a good Ubuntu P2P program to install to download music and such. Please and thank you!  Also how to get it . Thanks!
[07:41] <moDumass> magnetron bittorrent isnt in the selection
[07:42] <moDumass> also bittorrent looks broken
[07:42] <Gin> what package to install to compile kernel module?
[07:42] <zcat[1]> 'bittorrent' support is provided by transmission, which is installed by default in hardy .. are you sure you need some other program?
[07:43] <PCcertified> LaneLimited:  check out http://www.linux.com/feature/129439
[07:43] <magnetron> moDumass: associate the file type with transmission, the bittorrent client
[07:43] <|_DJ_|> no one who can help me with the soundcard-problem? :'(
[07:44] <zcat[1]> LaneLimited: I used to find amule excellent but it depends what you're looking for...
[07:44] <PCcertified> QUESTION:  I was using module-assistant to install gspca andgot the following error.   CFLAGS was changed in  "/usr/src/modules/gspca/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS
[07:44] <moDumass> magnetron, i right click on the file and hte first menu item says "open with ktorrent" which is what i used to do, but that doesnt launch ktorrent anymore
[07:44] <PCcertified> How can I fix that?
[07:44] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: I install thru the ubuntu drivers manager.
[07:44] <neil> how do i configure the controls for crrcsim
[07:44] <moDumass> magnetron, so i installed bittorrent, but bittorrent doesnt open either
[07:45] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: that's very odd then. that normally works well :( what card? what monitor?
[07:45] <moDumass> even if i click on the bittorent launcher it doesnt, it jsu throws up that error msg
[07:45] <ariel> hi
[07:45] <moDumass> so really, regardless of which side i try to start the dload it does not work
[07:45] <ariel> :P
[07:45] <obake-san> i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?
[07:45] <neil> what are the controls for crrcsim????????
[07:46] <magnetron> moDumass: what happens when you associate the file type with transmission?
[07:46] <moDumass> magentron, im still kinda trying to understand what that means
[07:46] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: Nvidia FX5200, the old PC is besides me right now. I think it is an old Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM.
[07:46] <neil> how do i use crrc sim
[07:47] <PCcertified> Carenthalas: I have the same system with a gig of ram
[07:47] <Flannel> neil: http://crrcsim.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=CRRCsim.Using
[07:47] <graxaim> "old pentium 4 with 512mb ram" <- I wish I had that right now. I bet it has also "an old 19" LCD display" too
[07:47] <zcat[1]> moDumass: by default firefox should offer you the option to open torrent links with transmission. That doesn't work? Also if you save a .torrent file to desktop and right click, select properties, assocations, make sure transmission is the default program for it ?
[07:47] <PCcertified> So, anyone here experienced with installing an app from console?
[07:48] <Carenthalas> PCcertified: Just read some articles that people had hard time with the NV FX5200 card with Hardy...
[07:48] <Flannel> !anyone | PCcertified
[07:48] <magnetron> moDumass: right click on the file, choose the bottom down item in that list ("properties"?) and edit your file type association. choose "transmission" as your bittorrent client and tell me what happens.
[07:48] <PCcertified> graxaim: mine does
[07:48] <moDumass> magentron, ok, is transmission the default torrent client these days
[07:48] <graxaim> PCcertified: -_-'' *envy*
[07:49]  * fallen|[sleep] is away: I'm currently sleeping
[07:49] <magnetron> moDumass: i'm still waiting for your answer
[07:49] <PCcertified> Carenthalas: I've used it on kubuntu, kubuntu remix and now ubuntu with no problems
[07:49] <Flannel> !away > fallen|[sleep]
[07:49] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: you might have more luck with the 'envy' package, afaik they automate the process of installing the latest nvidia binary package in a way that doesn't break with every upgrade...
[07:49] <moDumass> magnetron, transmission isnt an option i can choose from
[07:49] <graxaim> I'm on an old 1.2ghz duron + 512 ram (upgraded recently, cos I needed to be using it seriously...) + 14" old crappy monitor... since my laptop died..
[07:49] <magnetron> moDumass: then add it
[07:49] <moDumass> so im just checkin if i have to install transmission through synaptic
[07:49] <Carenthalas> zcat1: What is 'envy' packages, how?
[07:50] <PCcertified> Carenthalas: the only issues I had was setting up compiz fusion effects but I found a nice webpage that explained how and it works 100%
[07:50] <magnetron> moDumass: it's the default. are you sure you chose the bottom down entry in the right click menu?
[07:50] <graxaim> gee, it's so cold here
[07:50] <moDumass> magnetron, you mean properties?
[07:50] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: open synaptic and search for 'nvidia envy' and you should see some packages nvidia-glx-envy-new (something like that) will be the one you want I think, hopefully that will work. If not, I'm all out of suggestions :)
[07:51] <Carenthalas> PCcertified: I don't care about Compiz, just want to set up 1024x768 for a 10-year-old kids for learning.
[07:51] <PCcertified> anyone know how to fix the following error when installing with module-assistant CFLAGS was changed in  "/usr/src/modules/gspca/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS
[07:51] <Rat409> !envyng | Carenthalas
[07:51] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: when it came up 640x480 was it accelerated or the 'driver failed, resorting to vesa' mode?
[07:51] <graxaim> !Xorg
[07:51] <moDumass> installing it now
[07:51] <graxaim> =D
[07:51] <PCcertified> is zcat getting the can't fins glx problem when enabling compiz?
[07:52] <magnetron> moDumass: yes, that's why i'm asking about your properties. because i'm meaning the properties. speaking of the properties, are you sure you are checking the properties?
[07:52] <graxaim> !trident
[07:52] <graxaim> I've got a Trident Blade 3D gfx card with 8mb vram
[07:52] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: because if it was accelerated you probably only need run nvidia-settings (alt-F2 'gksu nvidia-settings') and set the right mode there
[07:52] <graxaim> on this old pc
[07:52] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: At 640x480, it was accelerated and can do 3d effect.
[07:52] <graxaim> I wish I could make it run accelerated... this Xorg runs so fucking crappy on it...
[07:53] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: ok, cool.. probably just change it in nvidia-settings then and write the new setting to xorg.conf
[07:53] <moDumass> thanks magnetron, i really appreciate your sarcasm, its awesome
[07:53] <PCcertified> Carenthalas: I got that problem when I did a compiz --replace.  I switched bak to metacity and then found a website that solved the problem
[07:53] <PCcertified> zcat are you trying to enable compiz?
[07:54] <moDumass> magnetron, done, its dloadings
[07:54] <moDumass> s
[07:54] <PCcertified> am I lagging?
[07:54] <graxaim> my feet are hurting becoz of the cold
[07:54] <magnetron> moDumass: ok, nice to hear
[07:54] <zcat[1]> PCcertified: I'm trying to help Carenthalas. My nvidia card is working sweet with compiz-fusion and emerald and screenlets and an awesone theme.. thanks for asking :)
[07:54] <zcat[1]> *awesome
[07:54] <PCcertified> k
[07:54] <moDumass> magnetron, but, im trying to get ktorrent up and playing nice again
[07:55] <|_DJ_|> hm.
[07:55] <moDumass> so transmission does work, but its uber slow
[07:55] <PCcertified> I found a sweet link to set that up on an fx5200 and should work for other nvidia's too.
[07:55] <moDumass> however bittorrent and ktorrent wont work
[07:56] <zcat[1]> PCcertified: once you have the drivers, it works sweet on any nvidia card.. even my stoneage mx440 could manage it!
[07:56] <magnetron> moDumass: make sure the ktorrent entry is correct in the "open with" list in the properties window. maybe you got old entries left from upgrading?
[07:56] <HardyHuman> I"m having trouble setting up a shared Fat32 partition on my Ubuntu/XP dual boot
[07:56] <neo_> no change
[07:56] <PCcertified> http://www.howtoforge.com/compiz-fusion-ubuntu-8.04-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200-p2
[07:56] <Andrew_Barber> i'm having trouble with a samba server
[07:56] <PCcertified> just for future reference
[07:57] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: any luck with nvidia-settings (btw it will start as a tiny window, just drag it bigger. Silly bug)
[07:57] <moDumass> magnetron, i uninstalled both ktorrent and bittorrent
[07:57] <Andrew_Barber> anyone with samba experience?
[07:57] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: looking for the Nvidia envy thing at the moment.
[07:57] <moDumass> magnetron, ktorrent doesnt launch at all
[07:57] <PCcertified> cuz when I first enabled compiz I lost my windows decorations and got a GLX not found error
[07:58] <moDumass> and bittorrent throws up this errpr
[07:58] <moDumass> associate the file type with transmission
[07:58] <PCcertified> after following that tutorial it works sweet
[07:58] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: if 3d was working with the plain drivers, stick with that.. it will just be the card not probing your monitor correctly..
[07:58] <magnetron> moDumass: after you uninstalled it?
[07:58] <obake-san> i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?
[07:58] <moDumass> after i reinstalled them
[07:58] <zcat[1]> .. and nvidia-settings can override it
[07:58] <newb> hi i have three edgy eft server boxes running. as of today i can't seem to be able to use apt to get packages for it. whats wrong? :(
[07:58] <Rat409> Carenthalas: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[07:58] <Carenthalas> zcat[1]: I want to get it at high resolution 1024x768, don't care about if it has 3d or compiz.
[07:58] <PCcertified> nvidia has a config program that identifies the settings and monitor correctly
[07:58] <kdc1956> anyone good with ATI video card
[07:59] <Andrew_Barber> obake-san: i'm having some samba trouble myself
[07:59] <Andrew_Barber> perhaps you could help me
[07:59] <Gin> what package to install to compile kernel module?
[07:59] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: well, get the proper drivers going (in 640x480) and then nvidia-settings will be able to change the resolution..
[07:59] <obake-san> dutr
[07:59] <obake-san> sure
[07:59] <zcat[1]> will, or should :)
[07:59] <Rat409> Carenthalas: for it to stick run nvidia-settings via sudo
[07:59] <obake-san> Andrew_Barber, pm?
[08:00] <zcat[1]> Rat409: for it to stick, yeah.. and there's a 'write to xorg.conf' button (which needs it to be running sudo)
[08:00] <PCcertified> I just edited the launche and added gksu before the command so it will ask for my password
[08:00] <vincenzofehring> is it possible to change the partition size after Ubuntu has been installed?
[08:00] <Carenthalas> Rat409: how?
[08:00] <newb> i can't seem to be able to download packages for edgy eft server today. whats wrong? all the source repos don't exist according to apt
[08:00] <moDumass> magnetron, and when i try to launch it from terminal i get this"kdeinit: Aborting. No write access to '/home/modumass/.ICEauthority'.  ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Can't setup DCOP communication.
[08:00] <Rat409> in gnome-terminal type sudo nvidia-settings
[08:01] <Flannel> newb: Edgy has reached EOL, the repos haven't been updated for a while, you should upgrade.
[08:01] <graxaim> in konsole type sudo rm -rf /* && echo now try something serious.
[08:01] <gramm> where is the python interpreter installed to?
[08:01] <moDumass> magnetron, i deleted .ICEauthority
[08:01] <Flannel> !danger | graxaim
[08:01] <zcat[1]> Carenthalas: start up in 640x480 with the proper drivers, press alt-F2, type 'gksu nvidia-settings') drag the window up 'cos it starts off a silly size, change the resolution and apply that.. then click save to xorg.conf
[08:01] <magnetron> moDumass: never heard of that error before. maybe it's some kind of lock or something
[08:01] <Flannel> !ops | graxaim
[08:01] <newb> Flannel: how to upgrade? is the automated process safe enough?
[08:01] <Flannel> newb: yep
[08:01] <Flannel> !upgrade | newb
[08:01] <Myrtti> !danger
[08:02] <PCcertified> Carenthalas: right click your menu and edit the menu, locate the nvidia config and rightclick for properties and add gksu before the command, look at synaptic for an example
[08:02] <spreda> I;m visually impaired, trying to install 8.04  on a 64 bit amd gigabyte board without successfully getting  to a login with either 64 bit or 386 cd.Both cd's identify my drives as SCSI, BIOS says they are IDE. is this acceptable?
[08:02] <elky> graxaim, please join #ubuntu-ops. we need to talk.
[08:02] <Gin> !kernel module
[08:02] <Flannel> spreda: Yes, as of Hardy they're all mapped to scsi (sda)
[08:02] <vincenzofehring> how do i edit the partition size of an installed Ubuntu release?
[08:02] <|_DJ_|> who can help me make my onboard-soundcard working? (board: fujitsu siemens d1567)
[08:02] <zcat[1]> spreda: yes, the linux kernel now uses the 'scsi' code to access all drives including ide ones
[08:03] <komputeran> anybody knows freespire?
[08:03] <zcat[1]> komputeran: #freespire? not here :)
[08:03] <Dr_willis> ive heard of it.. and tried it ages ago komputeran
[08:03] <spreda> Flannel,Zcat thankyou
[08:03] <komputeran> so is it good?
[08:04] <komputeran> what are you using now?
[08:04] <newb> Flannel: is it possible for me to directly upgrade edgy to hardy?
[08:04] <Flannel> gramm: `which python`
[08:04] <komputeran> screenshots are amazing
[08:04] <Dr_willis> komputeran,  well Im in the #ubuntu room and not #freespire.. :) so take a guess..
[08:04] <zcat[1]> If it's a branch of linzpire/lindows .. possibly not
[08:04] <Flannel> newb: No, you have to go Edgy > Feisty > Gutsy > Hardy.  Only Gutsy and Dapper can upgrade straight to Hardy
[08:04] <komputeran> freespire is ubuntu based
[08:04] <Dr_willis> komputeran,  nothing it did - made it worth using compared to ubuntu.
[08:04] <komputeran> feisty fawn
[08:05] <newb> Flannel: i might as well do a fresh install! :)
[08:05] <Dr_willis> komputeran,  its NOW ubuntu based. :) it wasent  a while back.
[08:05] <gramm> Flannel: 2.5
[08:05] <komputeran> ahhh ok
[08:05] <komputeran> is it better now?
[08:05] <zcat[1]> BTW; upgrades are really slow and tend to end up broken.. I'm advising ppl to backup home and do a clean install in most cases
[08:05] <Flannel> gramm: What?  No no.  type "which python" and it'll give you a path (or if 'python' isn't the program, type "which program" and you'll get the path)
[08:05] <qba___> I need some help
[08:05] <Dr_willis> komputeran,  other then the click-n-run stuff -  that may be good for total-total-total beginners -- i dont see much reason to use freespire over normal ubuntu.
[08:06] <Dr_willis> komputeran,  and im being very very noce bout freespire. :)
[08:06] <komputeran> click and run?
[08:06] <Dr_willis> nice  - i mean.
[08:06] <komputeran> ahhh
[08:06] <zcat[1]> Dr_willis: is click-and-run any easier than add/remove ?
[08:06] <Flannel> zcat[1]: No
[08:06] <moDumass> hmm, hey how do i change file permissions to me and not root?
[08:06] <Flannel> moDumass: For which file?
[08:06] <Dr_willis> zcat[1],  its more 'idiot-friendly' i guess you can say.. but i  dont trust it.
[08:06] <komputeran> has some nice graphics than ubuntu, i have hardy heron, and ubuntu studio
[08:06] <komputeran> but i dumped them
[08:06] <komputeran> i like linux mint better
[08:06] <Dr_willis> Click-and-run - is supposed to work for normal ubuntu also..but isent it spurising that you dont hear much about it. :)
[08:07] <moDumass> Flannel for '/home/modumass/.ICEauthority'.
[08:07] <Flannel> komputeran: Please keep it on topic
[08:07] <komputeran> fuck the topic
[08:07] <Serria1> good morning guys, got one problem i started ubuntu and the he says xorg is not configured currently, someone can help me fast?
[08:07] <Dr_willis> Theres getting to be so many ubuntu variants that justs do trivial changes..
[08:07] <zcat[1]> Dr_willis: I think it appeals to the windows mentality that programs must be downloaded and installed by clicking something on a website..
[08:07] <Flannel> moDumass: sudo chown modumass:modumass ~/.ICEauthority
[08:07] <moDumass> flannel, thanks
[08:07] <komputeran> see? lots of problem with that damn ubuntu
[08:07] <Flannel> moDumass: Also, don't run graphical programs with sudo in the future.  use gksudo (or kdesu)
[08:07] <Flannel> komputeran: please troll somewhere else, thanks.
[08:07] <moDumass> ok, why>?
[08:07] <Dr_willis> zcat[1],  yep. and it lets the linxpire guys perhaps sneak in a little Cash revenue from unsuspecting people.
[08:07] <Tankado> how can i get a runtime line with ubuntu? ctrl+?
[08:07] <qba___> I have fakeraid aeeay i had it connected to promise controller but linux could not see it so i connected it to amd sata ports now linux can see the devices but dmraid -ay gives me ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_dfbbccdahc" [1/2] on /dev/sda ||| ERROR: removing inconsistent RAID set "pdc_dfbbccdahc" ||| No RAID sets what should i do to fix it ?
[08:08] <Flannel> moDumass: Because using sudo for graphical programs gives you errors like the one you just got.
[08:08] <Tankado> i want to kill a window with xkill
[08:08] <zcat[1]> gtg been out all day and the wife is a bit pissed off that I'm straight back on the computer :(
[08:08] <Flannel> Tankado: alt-f2 will give you a run dialog

[08:12] <FloodBot3> Serria1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:12] <qba___> after;]
[08:12] <Serria1> k
[08:12] <Serria1> i will try
[08:12] <Flannel> mohadib: You'll need to change the stuff in /etc/event.d/tty[1-6]  (or at least, I'm pretty sure that's how its done with upstart)
[08:12] <moDumass> seems gnomebt-download the package doesnt auto install when you intstall bittorrent
[08:12] <christian_> het
[08:13] <mohadib> Flannel: do you know what i would beed to change? er , maybe ill google some mmore , thanks

[08:30] <HardyHuman> oh ok lol
[08:30] <HardyHuman> orphean: probably not my main error tho so I'll keep digging
[08:31] <kdc1956> nite all
[08:34] <orphean> |_DJ_|: It looks like the module for your card is intel_ich  Try a lsmod | grep intel and see if something like that shows up, then if it does try to insmod it and see what happens.

[08:53]  * orphean failed horribly with |_DJ_|'s soundcard issue.
[08:53] <Lifeisfunny> gmenelau, the indexing?
[08:53] <gmenelau> always need to make scan
[08:53] <soundray> gmenelau: fsck?
[08:53] <WhoNeedszzz> so does no one know about KNetAttach?
[08:54] <thatguyisjames> korn, there is software called devede, im not shur it has subtitles tho
[08:54] <gmenelau> Lifeisfunny when i push the start button and start to go to to ubuntu
[08:54] <soundray> WhoNeedszzz: apparently not. Tried #kubuntu ?
[08:55] <gmenelau> soundray what is fsck ?
[08:55] <`KoRn> i have devede but it doesnt support subtitles
[08:55] <koheleth> why is it I can only use one program at a time when listening to audio files?
[08:55] <WhoNeedszzz> soundray: nope. but it is available for many distros of linux actually
[08:55] <soundray> gmenelau: filesystem check -- is that the type of scan that's running?
[08:55] <neo_> Its not working
[08:55] <gmenelau> yes
[08:55] <`KoRn> anyone who knows how to burn dvd with subs?
[08:56] <neo_> LurkersA: it aint installing
[08:56] <rathel> koheleth, I have the same issue I was asking earlier but I got no response.
[08:56] <gmenelau> soundray  yes
[08:56] <koheleth> rathel, ah ok, thanks
[08:56] <Lifeisfunny> gmenelau, fsck is the file system checking that can happen during booting .... prior to the appearance of the log window
[08:56] <amirman84> is there a reason that openoffice.org and openoffice.org-base aren't installed on ubuntu? should they be? when i try sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal it says a bunch of openoffice.org packages are being held back,  anyone know what could be wrong?
[08:56] <koheleth> rathel, I have to reboot or logout and back in to use another program?
[08:56] <amirman84> i'm thinking that could be it...
[08:57] <gmenelau> Lifeisfunny how can i stop it and not show me every time that i boot the lap ?
[08:57] <soundray> gmenelau: it shouldn't take a long time -- are you shutting down properly?
[08:57] <rathel> koheleth, You should have to reboot, just close 1 program completely and then launch the other one, It's really annoying. :(
[08:57] <soundray> WhoNeedszzz: KDE related software is best discussed in #kubuntu
[08:57] <gmenelau> soundray yes always
[08:57] <rathel> shouldn't*
[08:57] <koheleth> yep, so one said to install pulse audio but that did not work for me, maybe for you
[08:58] <soundray> gmenelau: is there a file /forcefsck on your system?
[08:58] <klathzaz2> uhh.. where is inittab?
[08:58] <Lifeisfunny> gmenelau, I'm not sure of the command for that, it's something simple, like editiing a file to replace the number of boots before it occurs again
[08:58] <WhoNeedszzz> soundray: ok
[08:58] <amirman84> did anyone have problems updating tonight?
[08:58] <gmenelau> soundray where i need to look for it?
[08:58] <WhoNeedszzz> soundray: they don't really respond though
[08:58] <baltazor> english or russian?
[08:59] <gmenelau> Lifeisfunny how i do it ?
[08:59] <soundray> gmenelau: /forcefsck (this is the full path)

[09:00] <baltazor> thx
[09:00] <amirman84> should i install openoffice.org and openoffice.org-base in ubuntu? are they supposed to be installed by default?
[09:00] <soundray> gmenelau: if you have this file, it'll do a full scan of every filesystem on every boot. Is that your problem?
[09:00] <Lifeisfunny> amirman84, if you're doing office things yeah, no they're not default I don't think
[09:00] <soundray> amirman84: they are reverse-dependent on ubuntu-desktop, so yes
[09:01] <joot> amirman84: mine was
[09:01] <gmenelau> soundray yes it make full scan every time that i boot. where i need to look for this file ?

[09:02] <CuTe> ow...
[09:02] <amirman84> lifeisfunny: soundray: joot: the reason i ask is because my update wont complete because a bunch of openoffice.org packages are being held back. the crazy thing is i dont think those packages were installed by default. all my openoffice.org apps still work.
[09:03] <CuTe> ????????
[09:03] <bazhang> CuTe, what language? chinese?
[09:03] <gmenelau> soundray i am new in ubuntu and linux i cant understand where to look for that
[09:03] <CuTe> no

[09:04] <gmenelau> soundray then?

[09:05] <obake-san> i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?
[09:05] <gmenelau> soundray ls: cannot access /forcefsck: No such file or directory
[09:05] <joot> amirman84: I yes for one I will check for base one moment
[09:06] <amirman84> joot: thank you very much
[09:06] <Lifeisfunny> bbl
[09:06] <klathzaz2> hwo do I stop X from running?
[09:06] <soundray> gmenelau: is it really doing a full scan on *every* boot?
[09:06] <gmenelau> soundray yes :(
[09:06] <klathzaz2> and remain in runlevel >= 2
[09:07] <soundray> gmenelau: does it scan all filesystems, or just one?
[09:07] <joot> amirman84: Both are in my default hardy heron..
[09:07] <gmenelau> all
[09:08] <gmenelau> soundray all and it ask me about root pass or press control + D
[09:08] <klathzaz2> I have noticed there is no inittab in ubuntu, and seemingly all runlevels 2 and greater are the same.  Is there a way to drop into full multiuser runlevel without X?
[09:08] <n3urogod> gday all...I installed xubuntu 8.04 yesterday and had no end of dramas trying to get the nvidia driver working with a resolution of greater than 800x600. I am thinking I might swap over to use Ubuntu 8.04 as my hardware specs are higher than I initially thought, but I need to make sure the nvidia driver etc is going to work....looking online it appears to be a widespread issue.....should I try 7.10 or go with 8.04 with some kind of work
[09:08] <n3urogod>  around for the problem?
[09:08] <soundray> gmenelau: I see, so it's not completing. Do you have a live CD available?
[09:08] <soundray> gmenelau: Desktop CD?
[09:08] <amirman84> joot: just making sure, were they the "core" packages or were they straight up openoffice.org and openoffice.org-base ?
[09:09] <gmenelau> soundray i had the 7.04 and the i just upgrade o 8....
[09:09] <soundray> gmenelau: do you have a CD of 7.04 or 7.10?
[09:10] <gmenelau> yes i have the 7.10
[09:10] <Pav5088>  /j #bash
[09:10] <Pav5088> oops
[09:10] <joot> amirman84: they are the straight up oo.org and oo.org base.. did I make a bad???
[09:10] <soundray> gmenelau: and do you know the device name of your filesystem? (/dev/sda5 or similar)
[09:11] <tzd> n3urogod: have you checked that 3rd party website? can't remember the name now :/
[09:11] <amirman84> joot: no :) thanks, i guess i just need to install those packages and try updating again
[09:11] <n3urogod> tzd, hehe....um, Im not sure
[09:12] <n3urogod> :S
[09:12] <gmenelau> soundray how i look for it?
[09:12] <gmenelau> soundray no i dont know
[09:12] <|_DJ_|> hm. I'll try it with some other arguments: Who wants to help a GIRL with making her soundcard work? ;)
[09:12] <joot> amirman84: OK sorry I cannot help more. You do have the repositories yes?
[09:13] <guyzmo> hi
[09:13] <tzd> n3urogod: i'll see if i can find it... it has support for hardy since I've used it
[09:13] <cute> :3
[09:13] <joot> amirman84: and security updates
[09:13] <bazhang> n3urogod, envyng-gtk
[09:13] <soundray> gmenelau: here's what you need to do: boot the system and look carefully which filesystem it fails on. Probably /dev/sda5 or similar. Then you boot your 7.10 CD, open a terminal and run 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/sda5'
[09:13] <pawan> hi
[09:13] <BillyJoe> I have a iso file in my virtualBox that I need to get into ubuntu so that it can be burned, I am not able to use the shared folders? can some one give pinters on how to use this?

[09:14] <pawan> my nvidia graphics card is enabled but show not in use

[09:15] <joot> amirman84: OK M8..
[09:15] <pawan> how to use graphics card
[09:16] <Dr_willis> BillyJoe,  ssh and scp are handy tools to transfer files.   dependin on what os 's you are using.
[09:16] <Tom47> BillyJoe: i use scp a lot to transfer files between desktops on network ... should work for you
[09:16] <badkitty> pawan i think you may need to restart x once you have it in use
[09:16] <jdenhaer> I'm back

[09:16] <guyzmo> I have problems with my mouse and keyboard. The mouse repeatedly clicks when I drag (press without releasing).

[09:17] <Lymies> Hello all I am having difficulties using k3b on ubuntu. When I try to make an audio CD and i put mp3s on it it says that it does not recognize mp3s and i need to convert them to wav files myself.
[09:17] <jdenhaer> I am having a problem with dazuko
[09:17] <n3urogod> sweet, thanks tzd and bazhang
[09:17] <bazhang> tzd, that is in repos now
[09:17] <pawan> how to enable graphics card
[09:17] <Tom47> Lymies use the make data cd option
[09:17] <tzd> bazhang: ah nice, didn't know that... it's too hightech for my old geforce5200 :)
[09:17] <Lymies> Tom47, but i want to make an audio cd
[09:18] <bazhang> Lymies, you need to install lame
[09:18] <guyzmo> about my keyboard, it has difficulties to connect, when it's connected it behaves erraneously (like I type ls, it will output llllllllllllllllllllllllllsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss and tons of return...) before getting disconnected (running apple bluetooth keyboard)
[09:18] <pawan> hello
[09:18] <Lymies> bazhang, lame is already the newest version
[09:19] <BillyJoe> Thank you, I will look up scp
[09:19] <guyzmo> any ideas ? :-S
[09:19] <bazhang> !repeat | guyzmo
[09:20] <cherva> please help my ubuntu tell me that I have some updates to install but there is a window telling me "Not All updates can be installed" screenshot here http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotep9.png when I klick partal upgrade the screenshot is here http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1wo5.png and then an error comes out "could not calculate the upgrade" http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2hr5.png
[09:20] <Dr_willis> guyzmo,  i had a identical thing happen the other day.. ONCE with this keyboard..  - i rebooted and it started working fine.. not sure what the deal was..
[09:20] <Dr_willis> guyzmo,  and this was on a normal wired usb keybaord
[09:21] <guyzmo> Dr_willis - sadly that does not work :/
[09:21] <MZM> any udev rule gurus around?
[09:21] <Dr_willis> guyzmo,  bummer.  I would document it very well and post a bug and mention it on the forums.  for example does it do it in the console also? or just X. all window managers/desktops? or just gnome.. ect..
[09:22] <Shubbar> i m stuck with a package that was not install properly; libvlc0
[09:22] <Dr_willis> guyzmo,  did it suddendly start happening? try the older kernels see if it still happens.  ect...
[09:22] <Leefmc> Question: I installed the mini iso, and all went well, but it appears no desktop was installed. Upon booting now, i am given a command prompt only, (though i swore i installed desktop). I believe the correct coarse of action now is to use some "apt-get" command to install Ubuntu Desktop, but i do not know it, and am having a hard time finding it.
[09:22] <Shubbar> i cannot remove it, nor reinstall
[09:22] <juampax> any speak spanish?
[09:22] <Leefmc> Anyone know what command i need, or where to look?
[09:22] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:22] <bazhang> libk3b2-mp3 Lymies what about this
[09:22] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  logical name eh? :)
[09:23] <bazhang> !es | juampax
[09:23] <juampax> any speak spanish?
[09:23] <juampax> ok
[09:23] <juampax> thank you
[09:23] <Leefmc> Dr_willis: Does my statement above make sense, and seam logical? The fact that i have a command prompt is not a _bad_ thing correct? Just that Deskop is missing, right?
[09:23] <guyzmo> !fr
[09:23] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  theres nothign wrong with the command prompt. :)
[09:24] <Lymies> bazhang, YAY that did it thank you very much =]
[09:24] <renegade444> leefmc: sounded to me like you are on right track
[09:24] <guyzmo> lol
[09:24] <Leefmc> Dr_willis: well i just ment in terms of "should i be seeing this after the install or not" :)
[09:24] <somedude> if i have a core 2 duo what cd should i get
[09:24] <Leefmc> k
[09:24] <Leefmc> good
[09:24] <Leefmc> thank you
[09:24] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  i use it all the time. heh.. Ive used the mini-install so its possible some packages got missed. try the 'startx' command and see if that works.
[09:24] <Leefmc> afk now, my comps in the other room
[09:24] <Leefmc> Dr_willis: startx?
[09:24] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  you can install irssi for console irc chatting :)
[09:25] <jijay> !id
[09:25] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  yes. 'startx' starts up X :)
[09:25] <bazhang> somedude, your choice 32 bit works fine on that
[09:25] <Leefmc> Dr_willis: And X has something to do with my missing desktop?
[09:25] <somedude> but is it better to get 64 bit?
[09:25] <badkitty> somedude: 32 would be fine.. you could use 64 if you want
[09:25] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  normally the graphical login  starts up X.
[09:25] <somedude> oh ok
[09:25] <renegade444> leefmc: yes, it's possible you have it installed, it's just not automatically starting
[09:25] <cherva> please help my ubuntu tell me that I have some updates to install but there is a window telling me "Not All updates can be installed" screenshot here http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotep9.png when I klick partal upgrade the screenshot is here http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1wo5.png and then an error comes out "could not calculate the upgrade" http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2hr5.png
[09:25] <Leefmc> renegade444: Ah k
[09:25] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  X is the core layer of the desktop.   the desktop is X + other apps.
[09:25] <somedude> i went to get the 64 but it said amd64 and it made me wonder
[09:26] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  'desktop' = 'a useable X session' :)
[09:26] <Leefmc> Dr_willis: So i want to type "startx"
[09:26] <Leefmc> , and if that doesn't work,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:26] <Lymies> k3b >>>>> gnomebaker
[09:26] <Dr_willis> Leefmc,  yep.    basicially.
[09:26] <Lymies> gnomebaker takes a YEAR to convert all your mp3s to wavs and then it fails out when burning
[09:26] <crdlb> somedude: it is simply named amd64 because AMD created it
[09:26] <bazhang> cherva please pastebin sources.list
[09:27] <crdlb> but intel's version (EM64T) is completely compatible
[09:27] <bazhang> !paste | cherva
[09:27] <badkitty> somedude: I just got a new quad core and used the same amd64 disc from the old install. Im sure it would be fine, but I doubt you'll notice a difference with 64 compared to 33
[09:27] <MZM> My CDMA modem (HUAWEI ETS1x00) doesn't work anymore in 8.04 with those instructions: http://blog.mohanjith.net/2007/06/installing-huawei-ets1000-on-linux.html

[09:28] <sekator> hello
[09:28] <The-Compiler> Every time when I start KDE I get an error about ESD (it could not start because the port 5800 is already used or so), I get it several times (20 times or so)...

[09:28] <obake-san> i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?
[09:28] <renegade444> I'm trying to find an intermediate level guide for making Ubuntu-specific .deb packaged for 8.04, but all I have been able to find is a 6.1 guide on help.ubuntu.com. Will that guide work for 8.04? Or does someone have one for 8.04?
[09:29] <Tankado> anyone familiar with problems with ddd and ubuntu? because i try to use the menus of ddd and i cant press some buttons
[09:29] <bazhang> !ask | sekator
[09:29] <grndslm> Tankado... you should try using insight, i remember it to be better than ddd
[09:30] <guyzmo> is it possible to downgrade back to 7.10 ?
[09:30] <bazhang> complete reinstall guyzmo
[09:30] <guyzmo> :-S
[09:30] <grndslm> Tankado:  http://sourceware.org/insight/
[09:30] <Tankado> thanks
[09:30] <guyzmo> I should never have installed 8.04
[09:30] <gordonjcp> ubottu: in theory, yes
[09:30] <gordonjcp> oops
[09:30] <gordonjcp> guyzmo: in theory, yes
[09:31] <guyzmo> gordonjcp - what you mean ?
[09:31] <cherva> bazhang: apt-get upgrade made the upgrades. I can't figure out why the gui program didn't manage to do it
[09:31] <gordonjcp> guyzmo: I've done it, but frankly it's not worth the hassle
[09:31] <bazhang> The-Compiler, what about trying alsa or other sound then
[09:31] <gordonjcp> guyzmo: well, you can edit sources.list to replace "hardy" with "gutsy", do an update and a dist-upgrade and then you should have gutsy packages
[09:31] <The-Compiler> bazhang, well, I don't need ESD, I only need to rid of this error
[09:32] <gordonjcp> guyzmo: however, for various reasons this doesn't work properly
[09:32] <The-Compiler> *to get rid
[09:32] <bazhang> The-Compiler, then try it
[09:32] <The-Compiler> bazhang, esd is not even running
[09:32] <guyzmo> I'm gonna have to open a bug report then
[09:32] <guyzmo> but there's not significant things to post in the logs...

[09:34] <jdenhaer> anyone knows anything about Dazuko module on 2.6.24-17-generic?
[09:35] <grndslm> Tankado:  can't remember... haven't been in a programming class in a while.  i do remember it was a better, more enhanced version of ddd, tho

[09:38] <obake-san> i need to some help with samba in hardy. i set up some share folders by editing smb.conf, and im restarting samba just fine. the problem is that some of the names of the share folders refuse to work. i have a share titled MST3K, but when i try to access that folder through the network it says the device is unavailable. when i change [MST3K] to just about anything else it works fine. what is going on?

[09:39] <bazhang> grndslm, give an example
[09:39] <grndslm> bazhang:  google.com
[09:40] <guyzmo> but the kbd and mouse problems may be different ones...
[09:40] <gordonjcp> obake-san: ok, when you change the share name to something else, what makes it work?
[09:40] <The-Compiler> Oh well, soundray isn't an user :P
[09:40] <bazhang> grndslm, let me try

[10:07] <babolat> pawan: are you on hardy or gutsy?
[10:07] <Leefmcz> Question: Is there a sound with ubuntu that i can trigger to test my sound?
[10:07] <pawan> hardy
[10:08] <babolat> pawan: In System > Administration > HardwareDrivers check which version of the nonfree driver you have
[10:08] <gmenelau> The-Compiler i am going for restart
[10:08] <The-Compiler> okay
[10:08] <babolat> Leefmcz: yes. System > Preferences > Sound has it
[10:08] <IN-lindzee> i am having issues installing nomachine on my computer.  anyone have experience?
[10:08] <pawan> its says no properity drivers in use on this system
[10:09] <babolat> pawan: that means that you need one.
[10:09] <pawan> how to get
[10:09] <babolat> you better use envy, pawan
[10:09] <pawan> how
[10:09] <robg_> pawan: www.medibuntu.org
[10:09] <babolat> pawan: in Add/Remove Apps, search for "envy" without the quotes
[10:10] <ghindo> How do I know if I need the "linux-restricted-modules"  They seem to be slowing down my boot time, and I don't think I'm using any restricted drivers
[10:10] <babolat> pawan: oh, you have to make sure that Universe and Multiverse are both enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources
[10:10] <babolat> ghindo: do you mean media (sound and video) or the one for your graphics card?
[10:11] <renegade444> I'm trying to find an intermediate level guide for making Ubuntu-specific .deb packages for 8.04, but all I have been able to find is a 6.10 guide on help.ubuntu.com. Will that guide work for 8.04? If not, does someone have one for 8.04?
[10:11] <robg_> ghindo: you can activate medibuntu repository via www.medibuntu.org
[10:11] <ghindo> babolat:  For anything.  Whatever is included in the "linux-restricted-modules" packages
[10:12] <babolat> ghindo: your best bet is to remove it. if something breaks, put it back
[10:12] <ghindo> babolat:  Hahaha, thanks.  I'll give it a shot
[10:13] <IN-lindzee> E: Couldn't find package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[10:14] <User123> Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me with a problem that i am having - I have installed Ubuntu along side vista (c:\ubuntu) and have got it to run in dual boot on my laptop. Problem = When I run ubuntu I get a command line interface, and I want to know how to install ubuntu :s
[10:14] <Rishie> Hello
[10:14] <babolat> IN-lindzee: that package is also available at http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[10:14] <User123> There is no gui for installing ubuntu as far as i can see
[10:14] <Rishie> Could sum1 possibly assist me?
[10:14] <IN-lindzee> i can wget and dpkg that?
[10:15] <The_ManU_212> why isnt terhe any 3d support udner hardy for ati radeon 9200/9250?
[10:15] <renegade444> user123: what version disk did you use to install from?
[10:15] <babolat> !ask | Rish
[10:15] <ghindo> Is it safe to remove the "linux-generic" package?  It looks like it's just a meta-package, but I want to make sure...
[10:16] <IN-lindzee> ok so i used wget to get that, babolat.  now how do i install in?
[10:16] <User123> renegade444 - i downloaded lts 8.04 & mounted it in windows to install... no cd/dvd drv
[10:16] <Rishie> Thanks ubot. I'm having trouble installing. I only get up to step 1 and then it seems to crash
[10:16] <babolat> you could have just downloaded it and double-click to open with GDebi Package manager
[10:16] <renegade444> user123: ok replace disk with iso, but 8.04 desktop? or server?
[10:16] <babolat> IN-lindzee: ^
[10:17] <IN-lindzee> i am stuck with a cli
[10:17] <babolat> oh
[10:17] <babolat> one moment IN-lindzee
[10:17] <User123> desktop
[10:17] <IN-lindzee> server is hosted remotely, only way i can use the GUI is to get nomachine up
[10:17] <User123> renegade444
[10:17] <renegade444> user123: first try  $startx   from the command line
[10:18] <babolat> IN-lindzee: From the terminal type sudo  dpkg -i packagename.deb (replacing packagename with the name of the package)
[10:18] <Rishie> I boot frm my Ubuntu live cd,  an original, mailed copy. I choose to install, But it doesnt get past step 1
[10:18] <IN-lindzee> dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2.deb correct?
[10:18] <babolat> IN-lindzee: add sudo before that line
[10:19] <IN-lindzee> im logged in as root.  here is the error i get.  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[10:19] <User123> thanks renegade444 - will have to try when i get home, laptop isn't at work with me. if it doesn't work i'll bring it to work 2mo and hassle you some more :]]] ty, /B
[10:19] <suRs> anyone know how to change my splash screen?... i downlaoded a theme but i dont know were to extract it or like put it in some map.. like i did with .icons .themes this if for splash screener
[10:20] <renegade444> user123: heh. ok, if that fails, try $sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop     then try $startx again. that should get you a desktop
[10:22] <Dr_willis> renegade444,  I hope he isent typing the $ :)
[10:23] <ruth> good morning
[10:23] <renegade444> lol, he probably is
[10:24] <Dr_willis> renegade444,  wouldent be the first time ive seen it done. :)
[10:24] <roxahris> Help, when I try to configure this for building, I get this error:
[10:24] <roxahris> checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
[10:25] <roxahris> ...
[10:25] <ruth> We have a fresh ubuntu 7.10 install running. How can I set my terminal to a proper output? A the moment the characters are much too big, so it's not usable at all... Where can i set my screen resolution for the terminal?
[10:25] <roxahris> ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
[10:25] <renegade444> dr_willis: not at all sure how I should have put it so he could both see what was a command and not put the prompt in.
[10:25] <Dr_willis> renegade444,  :) we need different fonts on irc! :0   actually i tend to use Quotes.
[10:25] <robg_> ruth: you may need Sun Java for better screen performance.
[10:25] <ruth> I can use  xterm instead, but it would be great to be able to use the 'real' terminal, too
[10:26] <ruth> robg_, I doubt that
[10:26] <ruth> robg_, maybe you misunderstood me, I am talking about the strl.alt.f1 terminal...
[10:28] <roxahris> I don't suppose anyone can help?
[10:28] <exoitx> Hi ppl, I need some help
[10:29] <mepsipax> What network adapter/s is/are best for WEP cracking - I have an ipw2200BG but it can't do IV injections.
[10:29] <exoitx> I am having problems with VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8
[10:29] <Cipry007> hy ,i just installed latest ubuntu version its working fine but i dont know how to change the resolution ... can some1 help me pls?
[10:29] <mepsipax> or possibly it can, but needs another listening device
[10:29] <slavik> did the latest updates break firefox on amd64?
[10:29] <babolat> Cipry007: you probably need the non-ree drivers installed for your graphics card
[10:30] <robg_> Cipry007: When I installed Sun Java it gave me 1440 x 990 by default without any intervention by me.
[10:30] <roxahris> Cipry007: System > Preferences > Screen Resoloution
[10:30] <Cipry007> roxahris: i need a driver i tryd that
[10:30] <Cipry007> babolat: i dont know what that is :)
[10:30] <g00dbar> anyone know a good proxy site off the top of their head?
[10:30] <renegade444> slavik: I'm running 8.04 amd64 with all available updates installed, and firefox is working fine....
[10:30] <roxahris> oh sorry
[10:30] <slavik> weird
[10:31] <babolat> nonfree drivers Cipry007. check in System > Admin > Hardware Drivers if you can enable them there
[10:31] <robg_> Cipry007: you can also enable the Medibuntu.org repository in your system.
[10:32] <Cipry007> babolat: i see on "device driver" nvidia new and a checkbox that is checkt under enable but the status is "not in use"
[10:32] <exoitx> I have been usnig Virtual box for about 15 days, I have 2 VMs installed, and they used to run fine, but now it tells me that vbox drv (kernel) is not installed
[10:32] <exoitx> I installed it before, and tried to reinstall several times
[10:32] <babolat> Cipry007: you need to put it in use evidently. is there an option for that?
[10:32] <exoitx> but it doesn't work
[10:33] <Cipry007> babolat:no ...
[10:33] <exoitx> anyone knows what the problem is
[10:33] <exoitx> ?
[10:33] <poopuser> hey guyz i have 5.1 speakers and only 3 of them r working...so...u knew what.
[10:34] <jelle> hi all, i want to download .asf streams, how do i go about it?
[10:34] <babolat> Cipry007: try to uncheck it, then check it again
[10:34] <Cipry007> babolat: done and it says need computer restart ... i will restart my computer and then i will be back
[10:35] <klathzaz2> I just installed and updated ubuntu.  I ran configure on source and on a check for gcc it says 'error: C compiler cannot create executables'  I have no idea why it would say that.  Comments?
[10:35] <slavik> klathzaz2: sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[10:35] <ruth> bbak soon
[10:35] <exoitx> can anyone help  me with VirtualBox???
[10:36] <klathzaz2> slavik: thanks
[10:36] <slavik> np
[10:36] <slavik> exoitx: are you on hardy 64bit?
[10:36] <exoitx> nope
[10:36] <exoitx> it is very strange thing, it used to work
[10:36] <exoitx> 'till yesterday
[10:37] <babolat> !enter | exoitx
[10:37] <JackWinter> i just wanted to do a full upgrade (kubuntu hardy), and it aborted with unable to complete...  in adept it looks like it was successful ?  what now, how do i check if indeed the system is up to date ?
[10:37] <exoitx> !enter
[10:37] <exoitx> ?
[10:37] <Cipry007> babolat: nothing ... its still the same message on that status : "not in use"
[10:37] <zvacet> JackWinter: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[10:38] <babolat> Cipry007: ok
[10:38] <suRs> anyone know how to install splash screener?
[10:38] <jelle> anyone know how to download .asf streams?
[10:38] <robg_> Cipry007: I believe ubuntu-restricted-extras contain nVidia drivers.
[10:38] <babolat> Cipry007: is medibuntu.org repo enabled in System > Admin > Software Sources?
[10:38] <renegade444> exotix: I'm going to guess that your problem is that when you installed something it uninstalled something. I bet you'd have a better chance getting that solved in #vbox, but I really don't know your problem. my vbox works great ;)
[10:38] <JackWinter> zvacet: does that update all installed packages, because i still use vlc from gutsy which seems to work better.
[10:39] <exoitx> okay thnx
[10:39] <zvacet> JackWinter : if you don´t want to update it go to the synaptic and find that package>package tab>lock version
[10:40] <killzone> does networkmanager not support showing information for a ethernet bridge?
[10:40] <JackWinter> zvacet: thanks that is very handy..!
[10:40] <Cipry007> babolat:i cant find it
[10:40] <zvacet> JackWinter :yes itis
[10:40] <Cipry007> babolat: the website ... i cant find it on any option from software sources
[10:41] <robg_> Cipry007: you must enter an apt-get phrase to activate the medubuntu repo in your system. Correct phrase is on website.
[10:41] <babolat> Cipry007: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[10:42] <robg_> babolat: exactly.
[10:42] <JackWinter> zvacet: argh, am not sure i find that in adept.  thanks fo the help in any case...!
[10:43] <babolat> Cipry007: then after that, add the pgp key by doing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[10:44] <zvacet> JackWinter : sorry I don´t use Kubuntu but I believe it must be something similar (or not ? )
[10:44] <Cipry007> babolat : done
[10:44] <JackWinter> zvacet: i'm about to find out.  otherwise  i suppose that i can always remove and reinstall the 3 packages needed.
[10:45] <Cipry007> babolat: i did all you sayd he installed alot of things...now what?
[10:45] <babolat> ok.. now, try the check then uncheck thing. then restart
[10:45] <robg_> Cipry007: activate: ubuntu-restricted-extras, uninstall: OpenJDK, install: Sun Java
[10:45] <babolat> Cipry007: ^
[10:46] <selocol> Hello, can someone tell me what produces the bottom toolbar as seen in this picture: http://www.plenz.com/nethack-screenshots/long_worm.png Thanks.
[10:46] <thegeek> If I dual-boot Windows and Linux, and use GRUB bootloader, and I want to install a different version of Windows over the one currently in the Windows partition, anyone know a way of doing so without having Windows go "Woooo let's wipe out your bootloader and put one that goes straight to Windows"?
[10:47] <zvacet> JackWinter : it has to be some CLI option but I´m not able to find it right now
[10:47] <ruth> Sorry 4 asking again, but I have not found it in the docs yet: How can I set/change the screen resolution of my console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 Terminal)? Please help me (link to docs?) as I am completely new to ubuntu and never before had that issue with other distros...
[10:47] <robg_> thegeek: you can delte partitions with gparted and install a new OS in the empty space.
[10:47] <Cipry007> robg_: i have no ideea how to do that its my first time running on ubuntu
[10:48] <JackWinter> zvacet: sorry still a noob, what is CLI ?
[10:48] <robg_> Cipry007: ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you better nVidia and Sun Java will give you better graphics.
[10:48] <zvacet> JackWinter : Command Line Interface (terminal)
[10:49] <san|> thegeek: windows will always overwrite you mbr.. just reinstall grub after windows is installed
[10:49] <robg_> Cipry007: if you have medibuntu repo activated then you simply tick boxes in Synaptic.
[10:49] <renegade444> thegeek: I know of no way to do that without killing your bootloader
[10:49] <thegeek> robg_: Not exactly what I mean....When you install Windows, instead of giving you a nice choice of bootloader/options like Linux does, it just automatically wipes your MBR's contents and puts a bootloader that just shoots you straight into Windows....
[10:49] <nonix4> Umm, what are those undocumented updates to gcc et all? Where's the desription?
[10:49] <zvacet> JackWinter : konsole
[10:49] <thegeek> san|: Is there an easy way to do that?  I'm a bit n00bish when it comes to GRUB
[10:49] <robg_> thegeek: Windows does not use GRUB or MBR.
[10:50] <salut> Entreu aquí el text...salut
[10:50] <testola> hey! i often run a script in the backgroud that downloads stuff and unpacks it for me. But when the unpacking starts it hogs my system. Is there any way to make it use less resources? priority?
[10:50] <renegade444> thegeek: the trick I use is 2 hds and install grub on 2nd hd and win loader on 1st hd and select with bios which loader
[10:50] <jelle> got it, via vlc
[10:51] <koheleth> !opera
[10:51] <renegade444> thegeek: then you can reinstall windows at your whim without affecting your linux
[10:51] <thegeek> robg_: I'm not sure if you know what I mean by MBR.  MBR is the Master Boot Record of the hard drive, it contains the very first machine code program to get loaded if the hard drive is selected as the boot device.  Every bootable hard drive has got an MBR, no matter what operating system it takes you into.
[10:51] <koheleth> !opera
[10:51] <zvacet> koheleth : what about it
[10:51] <koheleth> is the bot off?
[10:52] <babolat> what are you doing, koheleth?
[10:52] <babolat> go check with #ubottu
[10:52] <thegeek> renegade444: That's a pretty clever setup, kudos :D.  But I don't have it set up that way and it wouldn't be easy to change to it.  :P
[10:52] <san|> thegeek: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[10:52] <koheleth> I after the opera ftp repo for 9.5b2
[10:53] <koheleth> #ubottu
[10:53] <zvacet> koheleth :  9.5b2 is not in repos download it from Opera site
[10:53] <JackWinter> zvacet: thanks, i'm googling for pin now ;)
[10:53] <san|> the geek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:53] <renegade444> thegeek: well, given the 1hd setup you have, I really don't think you can do it without having to re-install grub, sorry
[10:54] <zvacet> JackWinter : np
[10:54] <thegeek> renegade444: Oh it's okay if I need to re-install GRUB, I just need to learn how to do that.  Hehe.
[10:54] <renegade444> thegeek and sanj just gave you the easy to recover grub
[10:54] <san|> well grub isn't gone.. only the mbr part is (if I remember correctly)
[10:54] <thegeek> Yes I notice that =) Thanks san|....except I am wondering if they have it worded wrong on that page.  They say "first partition" at a point when I think they mean to be talking about the MBR, not a partition.
[10:55] <koheleth> http://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/  is what I was looking for
[10:55] <koheleth> flash works out of the box in 9.5b2
[10:55] <thegeek> Also san| , if what you mean is that the files and utilities for GRUB are still installed in Linux, it's just not installed to the boot record of the hard drive as the bootloader to actually use, then yes, you are 100% right.
[10:55] <podr0znik> good morning all (please treat it as afternoon/evening also, depending on where you are) :)
[10:56] <koheleth> 64bit too
[10:56] <podr0znik> does anyone have experience here with installing a label printer Brother QL-500 in (k)ubuntu?
[10:56] <san|> thegeek: you point out with hd0,0 where grub is installed (afaik)
[10:57] <zvacet> koheleth : you could ask about flash because older version of flash works too
[10:57] <san|> ah I was wondering why there were a lot of ubuntu questions.. this is not the wiidev channel :)
[10:57] <koheleth> really, had problems with it
[10:57] <cebrail> do anyone of you know how to install "java runtime envirement" ??
[10:57] <koheleth> I like the easy life :)
[10:58] <koheleth> !java
[10:58]  * renegade444 laughs at sanj
[10:58] <zvacet> koheleth : you are not the only one
[10:58] <koheleth> bot is off I guess
[10:58] <san|> cebrail: add/remove programs. Search for jre?
[10:58] <thegeek> san|: Right, but hd0,0 points to the MBR or it points to a partition?  The page states that it points to the "first partition" .... I'm thinking they have it wrong and that hd0,0 is really the MBR which is where I want GRUB to be
[10:58] <koheleth> cebrail,  type java +ubuntu in Google
[10:58] <cebrail> i installed it before, but now I dont remember how I did it
[10:58] <zvacet> koheleth : sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:58] <cebrail> ok
[10:58] <robg_> cebrail: activate medibuntu.org repo, uninstall OpenJDK, install Sun Java (in Synaptic)
[10:58] <cebrail> no
[10:58] <koheleth> even better
[10:59] <cebrail> ok
[10:59] <selocol> Hello, can someone tell me what produces the bottom toolbar as seen in this picture: http://www.plenz.com/nethack-screenshots/long_worm.png Thanks.
[10:59] <xenomorph99> HI. I've added an existing HDD that has several FAT32 partitions. Ubuntu only sees them as the partition sizes, which are all the same. How can I tell which has been mounted?
[10:59] <anirudh0> xenomorph99, cat /etc/mtab
[11:00] <xenomorph99> Ah, nice one. mtab is like the "live" version of fstab?
[11:00] <anirudh0> yes
[11:00] <anirudh0> selocol, i think ncurses can do that.
[11:00] <xenomorph99> Is there any way of knowing which UUID is which, also?
