[02:23] <s-wx> it seems that all the mirror are responding for the fist time (ive been under ubuntu for 3 months) by removing reference to canada mirrors in my sources
[02:23] <s-wx> thk ya
[02:23] <chuckyp> lysis, you need to make a fat32 partition so that both ubuntu and xp can see it.
[02:23] <lysis> ompaul, i'd rather find a way to fix than destroy and start new.   and it's a data partition.  nothing important is on it.
[02:23] <javiolo> thanks for the help guys
[02:24] <Xenguy> Feerx: What do you need to add  ?
[02:24] <LinuxJones> s-wx: it forces the upgrade, don't do it normally
[02:24] <Howitzer> lysis, how many GB's are the things you  need to copy?
[02:24] <Jae686> how do i run py files?
[02:24] <chuckyp> lysis, well what are you trying to fix?
[02:24] <lysis> 40gb total;  i can do it in a couple reboots
[02:24] <ompaul> lysis, you use gparted and do the vfat file sytem
[02:24] <eastgroup> how i can make a fax server to send fax from the network ?

[02:24] <lysis> chuckyp, i needto do what ompaul said =)
[02:24] <ompaul> sandwish_mx, do not paste in here
[02:24] <s-wx> LinuxJones: Ok.. i only use apt-get when i get errors in synaptic
[02:24] <Howitzer> because then you could use 5gb to install Ubuntu on, use 15gb as a fat32 partition and copy the files onto that
[02:24] <xstation> hi
[02:24] <Xenguy> !tell sandwish_mx about paste
[02:24] <Howitzer> sandwish_mx, please dont spam like that :(
[02:25] <_Vampiria_> hi, does anyone have a good kernel-compile-howto link to give me, pls?
[02:25] <ompaul> sandwish_mx, use paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:25] <Feerx> Xenguy: i want to add something to the end of everyline that contains 100
[02:25] <o0> hey, another problem: i have to execute command "sudo apt-get install fakeroot gcc-3.4 module-assistant build-essential debhelper" BUT i have no internet connection configure in ubuntu and i dont know how to configure it in BASH. can someone tell me an alternative to execute this command?
[02:25] <Xenguy> Feerx: yes, specifically what do you need to add?
[02:25] <sandwish_mx> chuckyp, thanks for u respond
[02:26] <lysis> ompaul, A busy device is a device with at least one mounted partition.
[02:26] <lysis> Because making changes to a busy device may confuse the kernel, you are advised to reboot your computer.
[02:26] <xstation> just a real simple question -at the prompt i have emily@rex - ehat is my machine name emily or rex
[02:26] <robertlee> okidoki, super it worked!!!! thanks
[02:26] <Feerx> Xenguy: dosnt really matter.. like EDIT for example
[02:26] <xstation> what
[02:26] <Toma-> xstation, rex
[02:26] <leobeta> i need to see what loads up (daemons, scripts or whatever) when i start a session with "xx" for example
[02:26] <lysis> does that mean it didn't work?
[02:26] <chuckyp> o0, how do you plan on installing those packages with out internet?
[02:26] <o0> xstation, rex.
[02:26] <lysis> no wait, it did
[02:26] <sandwish_mx> ok, I c
[02:26] <lysis> ok later guys;  bbs i think
[02:26] <ompaul> lysis, have you put aside
[02:26] <o0> chuckyp, download in windows, burning on cd and copy in ubuntu then :>
[02:27] <xstation> Toma/oG thanks
[02:27] <ompaul> lysis, a partition that you were going to use for Ubuntu
[02:27] <_Vampiria_> does anyone have a good kernel-compile-howto link to give me, pls?
[02:27] <Gopi> hi thegladiator
[02:27] <soundray> !kernelcompile
[02:27] <ubotu> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[02:27] <_Vampiria_> thanks :)
[02:28] <chuckyp> o0, well you would need to specify where the .debs are in the sources.list I beilive other wise you could just install each one with dpkg
[02:28] <thegladiator> hi Gopi :)
[02:28] <lysis> ompaul, how do i mount a fat partition?  "unknown filesystem 'fat'   AND same error with 'fat32'
[02:28] <chuckyp> o0, instead of using apt-get if you are sure that dependencies are satisfied.
[02:28] <lysis> (fstab)
[02:28] <leobeta> i need to see what loads up when i start a session with "xx" for example
[02:28] <thegladiator> so u r mythtv ?
[02:28] <sudharsh> lysis: use vfat
[02:28] <chuckyp> lysis, should be able to auto mount it.
[02:28] <chuckyp> lysis, and yes use vfat
[02:28] <Feerx> please.. anyone ever used SED?
[02:28] <soundray> o0, try 'apt-get -qq --print-uris install fakeroot gcc-3.4 module-assistant build-essential debhelper >urilist'
[02:29] <xstation> the reason I ask is because I setting up postfix and my server name will be myhostname = rex.mydomain.com
[02:29] <soundray> o0: urilist should contain all the files you need to download afterwards.
[02:29] <Linux_Kong> leobeta: what type of session? have looked at your logs? man tail may also be a good start
[02:29] <ompaul> lysis, mount -t vfat /dev/?? /mnt/XXX where you use XXX as directories that you make  and ?? = the partition your working on
[02:29] <lysis> awesome ompaul thanks
[02:30] <LadyNikon> hey .. is there a way to get rid of bugbuddy without getting rid of the gnome desktop?
[02:30] <thegladiator> Gopi, did u get tv working ?
[02:30] <Xenguy> Feerx: hrm, I don't know how to do that with sed; is it a large file, or files?
[02:30] <Toma-> LadyNikon, gnome-desktop is a meta package...
[02:30] <Gopi> thegladiator: still no :(
[02:30] <xstation> how to change sudo password is the command passwd
[02:30] <chuckyp> xstation, you would have to change the password for root.
[02:30] <Gopi> thegladiator: actually TV is working in xawtv but i am not able to record in it :(
[02:30] <lysis> ugh.   it's not letting me create a folder.   =/
[02:31] <lysis> this is becoming upsetting.
[02:31] <kirth_Gersen> Can anyone help me about nvidia driver installation?
[02:31] <chuckyp> lysis, mkdir
[02:31] <sudharsh> lysis: permissions mate
[02:31] <thegladiator> Gopi, do you have any idea why the recording is not working ?
[02:31] <xstation> chuckyp yes how to do it
[02:31] <leobeta> Linux_Kong: i put a script at "Sessions > Startup Programs" and the user doesnt have the privileges to execute the script, so the loading session stay still
[02:31] <lysis> sudharsh, i'm as root right now.
[02:31] <sudharsh> lysis: try changing the uid in /etc/fstab
[02:31] <Gopi> thegladiator: thats what i dont know... maybe if I can post that message anyone can help me ?
[02:31] <lysis> sudharsh, this is weird.  i can't do it in konq or whatever it is in gnome, but i can do it at cli
[02:32] <chuckyp> xstation, sudo passwd <yourusername>
[02:32] <thegladiator> Gopi, yes please use the paste bin
[02:32] <thegladiator> ubotu, tell Gopi about paste
[02:32] <thegladiator> use the paste bin and paste ur error message
[02:32] <Gopi> thegladiator: I am not in Ubuntu right now.. let me switch onto Ubuntu and try that recording and paste that error message !
[02:32] <Gopi> thegladiator: I know it
[02:32] <thegladiator> and ask away , i am sure u will get the help
[02:32] <thegladiator> ok use ubuntu now
[02:32] <sudharsh> lysis: so edit the fstab file
[02:33] <chuckyp> kirth_Gersen, what trouble are you having wtih it?
[02:33] <o0> does anyone have a link to how-to quick DHCP configure so i can establish my internet connection trough bash in ubuntu?
[02:33] <leobeta> ----- I put a script at "Sessions > Startup Programs" and the user doesnt have the privileges to execute the script, so the loading session stay still
[02:33] <lysis> sudharsh, i got it working now.  it's just weird since i'm on livecd i think
[02:33] <Mabus06> Can I take my hard drive with ubuntu installed on it and use it on another computer without the internet?
[02:33] <sudharsh> aah,..
[02:33] <xstation> chuckyp thanks
[02:34] <chuckyp> o0, just sudo ifup <device>  I believe it will tyr dhcp by default
[02:34] <chuckyp> xstation, np
[02:34] <sudharsh> has anyone successfully installed x.org 7 without breaking up the system
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> I follow the instructions in ubuntu.org, but I each time I use make, the same problem came out
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686/build no such dir or file
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> I have install the linux-headers file
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> what's wrong with the build file, it seems like a link to somewhere else
[02:34] <Xenguy> Feerx: anyway, I was going to suggest recording a macro in your favourite text editor.  That's how I would do it with Vim, unless I had millions of files to process
[02:34] <chuckyp> o0, i.e. if your device is eth0 'sudo ifup eth0'
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> I can not get my Benq DC1500 camera work under ubuntu without spca
[02:34] <phonezone> hi, a question... how do i start/stop x(grafik mode)?
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> any other driver could substitute it?
[02:34] <sandwish_mx> thank you:)
[02:34] <sudharsh>  tried to install it from dapper repos and messed up everythin...how do i do the restore to older versions
[02:35] <chuckyp> ubotu, tell sandwish_mx about pastebin
[02:35] <sandwish_mx> :(
[02:35] <sudharsh> phonezone: startx
[02:35] <phonezone> tnx
[02:35] <o0> thanks chuckyp
[02:35] <o0> gotta try it
[02:35] <phonezone> sudharsh, and how to stop?
[02:35] <chuckyp> phonezone, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop or 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[02:35] <soundray> o0, if chuckyp's advice doesn't work, you'll have to add a line to /etc/network/interfaces like 'iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[02:36] <xstation> any body here use postfix --I was after a good biik
[02:36] <chuckyp> phonezone, or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:36] <xstation> book
[02:37] <leobeta> I put a script at "Sessions > Startup Programs" and the user doesnt have the privileges to execute the script, so the loading of the session stays still
[02:37] <soundray> How do evolution and thunderbird compare as mail clients?
[02:37] <elkbuntu> evolution sucks
[02:37] <Mabus06> Can I take my hard drive with ubuntu installed on it and use it on another computer without the internet?
[02:37] <elkbuntu> it's a wee bit too simple for my likings, anyway
[02:37] <sudharsh> leobeta: sure u got the executable bit..?
[02:37] <chuckyp> xstation, http://www.postfix-book.com/
[02:37] <Xenguy> xstation: apt-get install postfix-doc
[02:37] <soundray> elkbuntu: how about for a non-technical user?
[02:37] <echostorm> i dont see too much of a difference in them, i prefer thunderbird but, thats because im used to it probably
[02:37] <o0> soundray, where shuld i add this line? on the bottom?
[02:37] <o0> :>
[02:37] <elkbuntu> Mabus06, theortically yes, but you'd need to reconfigure X
[02:37] <leobeta> sudharsh: heard about it but couldnt do anything about it =S, what is it?
[02:37] <sudharsh> Mabus06: yeah jus make sure u r connecting it rite...i meant the master slave thing
[02:38] <soundray> o0, yes.
[02:38] <javiolo> elkbuntu I second that
[02:38] <o0> ok thx, bbl
[02:38] <javiolo> Im looking for an alternative to evolution
[02:38] <elkbuntu> soundray, it's sufficient for it's purpose, but it's... i dont know... plain and almost featureless
[02:38] <Linux_Kong> elkbuntu: define sucks for me please
[02:38] <elkbuntu> javiolo, thunderbird
[02:38] <Mabus06> elkbuntu, that's pretty easy on ubuntu though, it pretty much autodetects all the right stuff. What about motherboards? Does it matter that it's a different one?
[02:38] <Xenguy> Mabus06: linux is pretty good at harddrive swapping
[02:38] <Mabus06> okay, thanks
[02:38] <elkbuntu> Linux_Kong, featureless :P
[02:38] <sudharsh> leobeta: ok the scripts need to be execuatble right?..so do a chmod 777 <filename>
[02:38] <Mabus06> all
[02:38] <xstation> checkyp /Xenguy thanks
[02:39] <leobeta> sudharsh: let see that...
[02:39] <javiolo> elkbuntu I used it long time ago, let see if now its better
[02:39] <k31th> Can some one with multi do me a favour and tell me the name of a package, if you search for nzb the package begins with k
[02:39] <elkbuntu> Mabus06, i dont really know
[02:39] <k31th> thanks !
[02:39] <engla> How do you mount a camera's memory if you connect it with USB? I failed to do that yesterday, and I'm supposed to be a computer whiz so it was kind of embarrasing
[02:39] <sudharsh> leobeta: 777 allows evryones to read,write and execute
[02:39] <sudharsh> engla: happens all the time :)
[02:39] <javiolo> is there any way to uninstall evolution ?
[02:40] <sudharsh> engla: the camera are u tryin to access the card or the inbuilt memory
[02:40] <elkbuntu> javiolo, yes. with apt or synaptic :P
[02:40] <engla> dmesg didn't tell me about problems, it looked like it would work.. I though gnome-volume-manager would mount this thing automatically
[02:40] <soundray> elkbuntu: this is for my wife, she's fed up with mutt, but it's the only mail client I've ever used seriously. Sounds like she might find her way around evolution easily.
[02:40] <leobeta> sudharsh: yup, knew that and now u say that, i remember setting privileges to admin group and then letting that user out of admin group :S
[02:40] <engla> sudharsh: the memory card in the camera, but connected via the camera
[02:40] <elkbuntu> soundray, sure
[02:40] <engla> I've also unsuccessfully connected an usb cardreader
[02:40] <engla> how do you mount those things?
[02:40] <soundray> elkbuntu: can you say anything about thunderbird?
[02:41] <anto9us> engla, just put a card in it
[02:41] <sudharsh> engla: i guess they are sda
[02:41] <elkbuntu> soundray, it's alot less cluttered
[02:41] <sudharsh> try mount /dev/sda1
[02:41] <engla> anto9us: nope, nothing mounted automatically
[02:41] <engla> sudharsh: okay
[02:41] <sudharsh> with sudo of course
[02:41] <engla> but I didn't have (and don't have right now) /dev/sda
[02:41] <soundray> elkbuntu: is that because it doesn't try to imitate MS Outlook?
[02:41] <anto9us> sda1?
[02:41] <sudharsh> leobeta: surely there must be better ways to do things :P
[02:42] <javiolo> is thunderbird via apt ?
[02:42] <sudharsh> anto9us: well i use it to mount mine
[02:42] <sudharsh> card reader
[02:42] <engla> echo /dev/s* gives: /dev/shm /dev/snd /dev/sndstat /dev/stderr /dev/stdin /dev/stdout
[02:42] <elkbuntu> soundray, i'd have to say neither of them are clones of outlook
[02:42] <glock> startx
[02:42] <anto9us> sudharsh, no, I was questioning engla if it was in dev :)
[02:42] <glock> sirc
[02:42] <glock> FTW
[02:42] <soundray> elkbuntu: I see, I think I'll give her thunderbird for testing first.
[02:43] <glock> startx
[02:43] <Linux_Kong> i find tbird to handle imap far better than evolution
[02:43] <anto9us> engla, did anything show up in dmesg?
[02:43] <engla> yes it did
[02:43] <elkbuntu> soundray, install both and have a browse of both. thunderbird's account setup is a little bit more complex, but that's a once off issue and it's just a matter of a few extra clicks
[02:43] <sudharsh> i think we hav to connect the device foist
[02:43] <glock> exit
[02:43] <engla> I don't have the peripherhal here now though :-(
[02:43] <engla> but how do I find the correct /dev/* of a  connected device?
[02:43] <elkbuntu> soundray, they dont conflict at all as far as i know
[02:43] <sudharsh> engla: oh well..try that command
[02:44] <sudharsh> engla: it depends on the device
[02:44] <twa1296> i'd like to try an alternative to gftp, please tell me another good ftp client
[02:44] <engla> I tired device manager, and read about "* camera" that was connected... but no device was given there
[02:44] <anto9us> twa1296, tried nautilus?
[02:44] <soundray> elkbuntu: okay, thanks.
[02:44] <engla> So it even knew it was a camera and what model
[02:44] <Linux_Kong> twa1296: gui or cli?
[02:44] <leobeta> sudharsh: didn't work, i dont think is that...just tell me, please, how do i get to manage the list on "Sessions > Startup Programs" from outside the user?
[02:44] <twa1296> anto9us: aha! thanks...
[02:45] <sudharsh> leobeta: personally i dont keep scripts that way..
[02:45] <twa1296> linux_kong: gui
[02:45] <Linux_Kong> twa1296: igloo, dunno if its still active though
[02:46] <sudharsh> leobeta: doh! my bad..so u want to exec scripts ar startup
[02:46] <leobeta> sudharsh: thats right
[02:46] <Linux_Kong> twa1296: or filezilla
[02:46] <leobeta> sudharsh: didnt understand the previous line : P
[02:47] <leobeta> sudharsh: but now i wanna erase the scripts that i added to the "Startup programs" list...
[02:47] <sudharsh> there is delete..button isnt it?
[02:47] <engla> sudharsh: could my lack of sda1 be kernel- or services- related?
[02:48] <sudharsh> engla: i think these nodes are created only when u plugin the device
[02:48] <sudharsh> i dont hav sda1 myself rite now
[02:49] <anto9us> engla, yes, they're generated through hotplug I believe
[02:49] <Toma-> udev
[02:49] <engla> udev?
[02:49] <anto9us> udev then, thanks Toma- :)
[02:49] <adub> it appears i need to repair grub.....I want to dual boot windows and ubuntu linux but i installed windows after linux and now grub isnt working and windows just boots?
[02:49] <engla> I'm on a 2.6.15 kernel but in breezy
[02:50] <Toma-> ;)
[02:50] <chmod775> maxkelley, hey dude
[02:50] <engla> so what service is responsible?
[02:50] <sudharsh> engla: it doeasnt matter
[02:50] <chmod775> maxkelley, u there
[02:50] <chmod775> ?
[02:50] <hade> what files do i need to change to chagne a machines hostname, just /etc/hostname ?
[02:50] <adub> how can i reinstall grub
[02:50] <sudharsh> adub: boot from the live cd
[02:50] <Toma-> adub, put your ubuntu cd in the drive and at the boot: prompt type "linux rescue", iirc
[02:51] <Feerx> im going mad.. is there no way to add something to the end of every line cantaining 100 whit SED? sed/$/ H/ file > newfile adds H to every line
[02:51] <Lorvy> hey, where could i find the list of supported/working wlan adapters for ubuntu? once saw it but cant find it anymore..
[02:51] <adub> type "linux rescue", iirc
[02:51] <Toma-> Feerx, try asking in #linux
[02:51] <engla> Toma-: I certainly have udev running. So that should be in place, right? But could it be that it won't automount things that are not in /etc/fstab
[02:51] <eastgroup> how i can access hardware manager ?
[02:51] <sudharsh> engla: u said u dint hav the cam now
[02:51] <Toma-> engla, yep
[02:51] <engla> sudharsh: right
[02:51] <engla> :-(
[02:51] <Toma-> engla, what are u doing?
[02:51] <sudharsh> so...dats y no sda1
[02:52] <adub> toma- am i right on the command also what will this command do on boot
[02:52] <anto9us> Feerx, grep 100 | sed
[02:52] <engla> trying to mount the memory of a camera I connected via USB
[02:52] <sudharsh> u gotta connect some device first to get it detected
[02:52] <sudharsh> engla: u hav an mp3 flash or usb flash disk
[02:52] <sudharsh> ?? now
[02:53] <Toma-> adub, thatll get you into linux rescue mode, you then need to chroot to your normal ubuntu partition, then fix the mbr with grub
[02:53] <engla> nopes.. I have a mobile phone I can connect via usb though.. never managed to do anything with that though, even in osx
[02:53] <sudharsh> engla: oh..:)
[02:53] <Feerx> anto9us: i have tryed that but thet means the newfile wont contain the lines whit no 100 in them
[02:53] <eyeRound> does anyone know why i cant get into my other channel, pound debian?
[02:53] <Toma-> engla, cant you just use gphoto?
[02:53] <nm> !pastebin
[02:53] <ubotu> I heard pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar :)
[02:53] <adub> toma-  i dont know what all to do...fix it with grub what do i do apt-get install grub
[02:53] <anto9us> Feerx, aah, of course, hang on
[02:53] <engla> Toma-: is that something I have to install? I'd love to get  asimple app to do this for me
[02:54] <sudharsh> engla: of course and f-spot to edit them
[02:54] <sudharsh> adub: no grub-install will be alreay there
[02:54] <sudharsh> dont do apt-get
[02:54] <engla> thanks for those tips anyway
[02:54] <nm> take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9630
[02:54] <Feerx> anto9us: ok, thanks
[02:55] <adub> sudharsh what do i need to do browse to grub and edit
[02:55] <nm> ridiculous, i get that error whenever i try to install, uninstall, or use vpopmail
[02:55] <nm> i'd just like to get rid of vpopmail, it is causing some serious problems
[02:55] <Toma-> engla, "gthumb --import-photos"
[02:55] <nm> anyone encountered that error?
[02:55] <sudharsh> adub: r u in linux rescue
[02:55] <sudharsh> mode
[02:55] <adubz> what do i do browse to grub then edit
[02:55] <YogSothoth> Hi
[02:55] <sudharsh> Toma-: we should chroot to /mnt/sysimage for grub recovery rite?
[02:55] <hade> what files do i need to change to chagne a machines hostname, just /etc/hostname ?
[02:56] <Toma-> sudharsh, sounds right
[02:56] <engla> ooh I have to try that
[02:56] <echostorm> hmmn anyone have a mobo with a realtek alc850 audio card on it? im still having issues with crappy sounding sound, maybe someone else has been through this
[02:56] <sudharsh> adubz: k..try 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'
[02:56] <chuckyp> sudharsh, grub is config based  so as long as you can edit he config and save it it should be fine.
[02:56] <Xenguy> hade: see also /etc/hosts
[02:56] <Bilange> looks like the canadian mirror or apt's archive.ubuntu.com is down-- is there somewhere a list of other mirrors I could use?
[02:56] <adubz> sudharsh then what
[02:56] <adubz> reboot
[02:56] <YogSothoth> I'm trying to use init.d but it doesn't work! Any help on this? http://rafb.net/paste/results/hi7P8B56.html
[02:56] <sudharsh> chuckyp: but reinstalling helps..doesnt it
[02:57] <sudharsh> adubz: no..
[02:57] <echostorm> its on most newer gigabyte and asus boards, among others
[02:57] <hade> Xenguy: ok thanks
[02:57] <Toma-> engla, do this for me, click System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media
[02:57] <sudharsh> noe type 'grub-install'
[02:57] <Xenguy> hade: yw
[02:57] <sudharsh> Toma-: he doesnt hav the device now
[02:57] <Toma-> might wanna put it on mbr..
[02:57] <Toma-> yeh thatll happen
[02:57] <LinuxJones> Bilange:  edit /etc/apt/sources.lst and remove the "ca. "part from the path for all entries
[02:58] <engla> Toma-: right. Thanks for all the tips, I'll try again
[02:58] <Toma-> hummm...
[02:58] <Toma-> engla, nonono
[02:58] <sudharsh> adubz: tried 'grub-install'?
[02:58] <Feerx> anto9us: got it?
[02:58] <Toma-> engla, do this for me, click System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media , then click Camera and tell me what it says in the Digital Camera box
[02:58] <Bilange> LinuxJones: eww, looks like im gonna hammer the main archives repo.. :/ i have no choice, I guess :)
[02:58] <anto9us> Feerx, this should help you work it out http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-0
[02:58] <Xenguy> Bilange: /msg ubotu mirrors
[02:58] <adubz> ok here goes something i hope
[02:58] <Bilange> Xenguy: ah, thanks a bunch :D
[02:58] <concept10> Need help with video: Totem shows artifacts.  Pointers please!  Screenshot: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/1798/screenshot04og.png
[02:59] <ubuntu> hello i am sure you have had this question before - my system hangs on boot at hotplug subsystem
[02:59] <engla> Toma-: gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h
[02:59] <sudharsh> adubz: u had messed up the mbr and so we r tryin to reinstall grub back
[02:59] <engla> Toma-: the checkbox for importing is checked
[02:59] <Toma-> engla, ok... as soon as your camera is connected, gthumb SHOULD pop up automagically...
[02:59] <concept10> Anyone have an idea of what I could do to fix that in totem?
[02:59] <Feerx> anto9us: ok i will give it a try, thanks
[03:00] <engla> Toma-: well it didn't. :-(
[03:00] <chuckyp> concept10, changing video drivers?
[03:00] <anto9us> Feerx, there lies great power :)
[03:00] <Toma-> engla, did "gthumb --import-photos" do anything?
[03:00] <chuckyp> concept10, that looks wack
[03:00] <ubuntu> hello i am sure you have had this question before - my system hangs on boot at hotplug subsystem
[03:00] <LinuxJones> Bilange:  at least it will work ;)
[03:00] <concept10> chuckyp, everything works except video players, games work, etc.  I have been using the same drivers for a year
[03:00] <Toma-> concept10, what codec is the movie using?
[03:01] <Xenguy> Bilange: dunno if this is the best, but it works: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:01] <Linux_Kong> concept10: what file format are you playing
[03:01] <Xenguy> Bilange: sorry, nm
[03:01] <djp> anyone using a webcam with breezy here?
[03:01] <Toma-> djp, yep
[03:01] <engla> Toma-: I didn't try that then, I didn't know about it. Right now it pops up a box about importing, but there is nothing to import from right now
[03:01] <Toma-> ok.....
[03:01] <Xenguy> Bilange: I meant this: ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/mirror/ubuntu/
[03:01] <Toma-> camera isnt detected?
[03:01] <YogSothoth> I use ndiswrapper to load a Windows 2000 driver (mrv8000c)
[03:01] <YogSothoth> for my wireless card (pciid: 11ab:1faa)
[03:01] <djp> Toma_, which one do you use? i would like to get one that does not need any kernel compiling etc...
[03:01] <YogSothoth> But when Ubuntu starts, it gets stuck on /etc/init.d/networking
[03:01] <concept10> Linux_Kong, its a .mov file, I have watched that before, It may have something to do with being on dapper or this kernel
[03:02] <sudharsh> djp: which make
[03:02] <Bilange> Xenguy: you picked up 'my' broken/down mirror, fyi :)
[03:02] <sudharsh> try spaca5xx drivers works for my chinese ones
[03:02] <djp> sudharsh, not worried as long as it has a resolution of 640x480
[03:02] <Xenguy> Bilange: ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/mirror/ubuntu/  ?
[03:02] <concept10> Toma-, how do I tell what codec is being used ?
[03:02] <YogSothoth> So I created a script to start with rc.d but nothing happen! see the script here: http://rafb.net/paste/results/hi7P8B56.html
[03:02] <Toma-> djp, well, the spca5xx drivers are borked in breezy, but theres a simple howto on how to fix them, but need a little compiling. ALOT of cameras use spca5xx and spca5xx drivers are the bomb.
[03:02] <nm> sigh
[03:02] <nm> i knew i would run into problems using a debian based system eventually
[03:02] <djp> sudharsh, is there a way to find out what drivers certain models require?
[03:03] <Toma-> concept10, "file moviefile.avi"
[03:03] <Bilange> Xenguy: ca.archives.ubuntu.com or something similar.. anyways, I found _the_ goldmine of mirrors on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive -- ill pick one in the list :)
[03:03] <Linux_Kong> concept10: does mplayer do the same?
[03:03] <nm> this is ridiculous, i select the package to be purged because it won't configure, in /var/lib/dpkg/status
[03:03] <chuckyp> nm, what problem is that?
[03:03] <sudharsh> Toma-: oh really...toma wheres the link for the howto
[03:03] <nm> chuckyp: when i try to remove vpopmail, because it is broken/not working
[03:03] <Toma-> 1 moment plz
[03:03] <ubuntu> hello i am sure you have had this question before - my system hangs on boot at hotplug subsystem
[03:03] <sudharsh> djp: plugin the webcam..do an lsusb and find ur chipset..
[03:03] <nm> it keeps trying to run through the configure process, and run /etc/init.d/vpopmail
[03:03] <nm> when all i want it to do is remove it
[03:03] <Xenguy> Bilange: K :-)
[03:04] <chuckyp> nm, can you use apt-get to remove it?
[03:04] <nm> and since that script is broken, it won't uninstall the package
[03:04] <nm> chuckyp: no, apt-get doesn't work, it gives me the same error, it attempts to run the script to 'stop' the service
[03:04] <chuckyp> nm, well your problem isn't with debian its with vpopmail
[03:04] <concept10> Linux_Kong, not sure let me check (I hardly use mplayer ever...I like totem and vlc)
[03:04] <LinuxJones> nm: apt-get --purge remove packagename doesn't work ?
[03:04] <djp> sudharsh, i see. haven't bought one yet though! was thinking of looking for the logitech quickcam pro 4000, but not sure if that is still available
[03:04] <chuckyp> nm, did you try stopping the service yourself?
[03:04] <nm> chuckyp: no, my problem is with the debian package management
[03:04] <Toma-> ubotu, spca5xx is Breezy drivers for spca5xx based webcams are broken :( Follow this wiki if they dont work for you - - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75284&page=15
[03:04] <ubotu> okay, Toma-
[03:04] <nm> chuckyp: the service isn't running! it was never working
[03:04] <Toma-> !spca5xx
[03:04] <ubotu> I heard spca5xx is Breezy drivers for spca5xx based webcams are broken :( Follow this wiki if they dont work for you - - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75284&page=15
[03:05] <nm> since apt-get wouldn't work, i tried using dpkg -P vpopmail
[03:05] <ubuntu> anyone had your system hang on hotplug subsystem
[03:05] <nm> same error
[03:05] <nm> and since that didn't work, i changed the status and select state of vpopmail in /var/lib/dpkg/status
[03:05] <sudharsh> Toma-: the spca5xx problem u hav raised..is it only for breezy or is it troublesome for all the distros
[03:05] <chuckyp> nm, what error are you getting specifically?
[03:05] <Toma-> ubuntu, yep
[03:05] <nm> to half-installed and purge
[03:05] <nm> and it STILL doesn't work
[03:05] <nm> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9630
[03:05] <nm> that is the error the script generates
[03:06] <ubuntu> toma: how did you fix it
[03:06] <LinuxJones> nm: there's a fix-broken switch you can use I can't remember it offhand or you can do it in synaptic there's a fix broken packages option in there.
[03:06] <sudharsh> no wonder my stock kernel freezes when i use camorama
[03:06] <Toma-> sudharsh, just breezy. they were compiled for some un-godly reason in a conflicting gxx version
[03:06] <nm> and the (ridiculous) dpkg/dselect/apt-get system always tries to run the script instead of just uninstalling
[03:06] <concept10> Toma-, it is a quicktime file
[03:06] <sudharsh> Toma-: hehe
[03:06] <Toma-> ubuntu, i ran it in rescue mode then found out what was causing the problem, and removed it from my pc
[03:06] <chuckyp> nm, edit the script
[03:06] <Toma-> err gcc
[03:07] <Toma-> concept10, ahh. quicktime.
[03:07] <Toma-> concept10, have you got the quicktime codec or just w32codecs?
[03:07] <nm> nope
[03:07] <nm> same error
[03:07] <concept10> Toma-, I know I have w32, let me check quicktime
[03:07] <nm> when i use the fix switch
[03:08] <Toma-> !info libquicktime1
[03:08] <nm> chuckyp: the script doesn't even make reference to the file cited in the error message
[03:08] <ubotu> libquicktime1: (A library for reading and writing Quicktime files), section libs, is optional. Version: 0.9.3-2ubuntu2 (breezy), Packaged size: 261 kB, Installed size: 820 kB
[03:08] <concept10> Toma-, I have that
[03:08] <Toma-> hmm ok
[03:08] <concept10> ii  libquicktime1                          0.9.3-2ubuntu2
[03:08] <Toma-> personally, i wouldnt use totem.
[03:09] <drcode> hi all
[03:09] <Toma-> its an evil little frontend
[03:09] <drcode> I try to install dri.sourceforge.org in ubuntu
[03:09] <drcode> it install ok
[03:09] <drcode> what is libdri.a and libdri.so?
[03:09] <nm> bag it
[03:09] <concept10> Toma-, I dont see anything in VLC which is wierd, VLC usually handles _anything_
[03:09] <nm> deleted the script, and used apt-get remove
[03:09] <nm> that seems to have fixed it, but i'll have to verify
[03:09] <drcode> the driver update libdri.so
[03:10] <drcode> but still xorg load libdri.a
[03:10] <chuckyp> nm, the error is comming from it trying to stop the service.
[03:10] <Toma-> concept10, in mplayer you can pick what codec to use... i prefer that... just technically, i dunno :|
[03:10] <drcode> can I rebuild xorg ?
[03:10] <concept10> Toma-, I dont know what the problem is.  Probably something to do with me dicking around with XGL and those crappy ATI drivers
[03:11] <Toma-> concept10, nah, id say its the codec. whats your vo driver?
[03:11] <nm> chuckyp: yes, and it's shortsighted and ridiculous that apt-get/dpkg/dselect won't remove a package because of an error like that
[03:11] <chuckyp> nm, try mv /etc/init.d/vpopmail /home/nm/vpopmail
[03:11] <Toma-> err video output driver for totem-xine?
[03:11] <nm> therefore, my comment about debian still stands
[03:11] <chuckyp> nm, then apt-get remove it
[03:11] <adubz> toma- now do i do this
[03:11] <nm> chuckyp: i've already removed it with apt-get after removing the script
[03:11] <nm> thanks.
[03:11] <adubz> "linux rescue"  command with the installation cd ??  it goes like it loads and then i get a black screen
[03:11] <drcode> any help
[03:11] <chuckyp> nm, what script are you talkign about?
[03:11] <LinuxJones> nm: no package manager is perfect
[03:11] <chuckyp> nm, the service itself?
[03:11] <sudharsh> adubz: did grub show itself
[03:11] <concept10> Toma-, I using the stock "ati" driver, I dont see codec options in Totem
[03:12] <nm> linuxjones: it most certainly is not, thanks for coming out
[03:12] <adubz> same thing that would happen on installation but i disabled framebuffer console and then i could install
[03:12] <nm> chuckyp: the init script that starts the service
[03:12] <nm> and stops it
[03:12] <concept10> Where are those options in Totem?
[03:12] <concept10> Mplayer will not start on my system. CRAP
[03:12] <Toma-> concept10, like i said, i dont know totem sorry :(
[03:12] <sudharsh> concept10: remove totem that came with ubuntu..install totem-xine
[03:12] <yos87> hi
[03:13] <sudharsh> concept10: totem-xine plays well for me...the default is crap
[03:13] <deepwoodz> is there a apt get command to relaod my entire gstream package
[03:13] <chuckyp> nm, gotcha all apt was trying to do was stop the service which was f'd hence the error when that bombed it blew up.
[03:13] <deepwoodz> my sound isnt working
[03:13] <LinuxJones> nm: dude your being unreasonable complaining about a packaging glitch, file a bug on the package itself which is where the problem is.
[03:14] <nm> chuckyp: exactly, and when i use the purge switch in dpkg, it should _ignore_ the fact that the service doesn't stop and just remove it
[03:14] <concept10> sudharsh, I know that.  Thats what I used.  But it looks like when I upgraded to dapper, it probably defaulted back to totem-gstreamer
[03:14] <nm> linuxjones: the problem is with poorly written package management software, as i've already stated
[03:14] <concept10> sudharsh, thanks for the top
[03:14] <concept10> err... tip
[03:14] <chuckyp> LinuxJones, he's convinced that the problem is with apt rather than the messed up package.    I'm sure he'll get right on fixing apt.
[03:16] <Toma-> deepwoodz, generally, shit doesnt make noise. unless its in the "being pooped" stage.
[03:16] <Toma-> adub, yes
[03:16] <echostorm> yay i have digital audio from xmms. a nice start. does anyone know the command to configure alsamixer? im trying to get system sounds from my digital outs (mainly for streaming media)
[03:16] <LinuxJones> nm: the package managment system has requirements as to how packages are supposed to work. People make mistakes and packages get messed up from time to time. It's not the package mangers fault that a package has errors.
[03:16] <Feerx> man isnt there any real unix/linux gurus out there that can help me whit the sed command? ben messing to get it right for over 3h
[03:16] <deepwoodz> lol funny
[03:16] <chuckyp> nm, or better yet fix apt yoruself.
[03:17] <chuckyp> anyways i'm off to bed.
[03:17] <sudharsh> concept10: totem-xine what bout that
[03:17] <deepwoodz> im a fan of the grunting
[03:17] <deepwoodz> lol
[03:17] <grndlvl_> problem with getting fglrx module to work only thing that has changed is "ati" to "fglrx" in the xorg.conf module is installed not sure why i keep getting error stating 'Module load failure'. There are no Errors('EE') in Xorg.0.log not really sure what the deal is any suggestions
[03:17] <nm> chuckyp: or I could contact him, and request a --force option, you know, common sense stuff
[03:17] <nm> linuxjones: but it IS the package manager's fault that there is no --force option for removing packages, for when packages are messed up in that manner
[03:17] <Toma-> echostorm, wait till crimson comes on-line, hes an audio guru
[03:17] <echostorm> ooh :)
[03:18] <deepwoodz> i fixed it
[03:18] <LinuxJones> nm: what package manager do you think is better ?
[03:18] <deepwoodz> im still alive im still the amn
[03:18] <Toma-> nm, there isnt?
[03:18] <echostorm> i can do that im off today its 'get linux to work day'
[03:18] <adub> toma- sorry my internet connection is choppy but can i do the linux rescue with the ubuntu installation cd it is not loading
[03:18] <nm> linuxjones: gentoo's, redhat's, suse's....the list goes on
[03:18] <TimothyP> HiddenFly, I'm using ubuntu server edition. The syslog files seems to be rotated into .#.gz files, but logrotate does not contain a configuration for this, what is rotating the logs ?
[03:18] <Toma-> adub, yes
[03:18] <sudharsh> adub: u dont tneed the net to recue
[03:18] <nm> toma-: there isn't, read the man pages if you don't want to take my word for it
[03:18] <sudharsh> else try booting from the live cd and chroot to ur existing installation
[03:18] <Toma-> ive read the man page.
[03:18] <LinuxJones> nm: that's funny !!
[03:19] <nm> linuxjones: not as funny as how fast you debian zealots responded to my comment
[03:19] <Toma-> nm, what were you trying to do?
[03:19] <nm> toma-: scroll up, i don't feel like explaining it to another zealot
[03:19] <nm> thanks
[03:19] <nm> =)
[03:19] <Toma-> zealot?
[03:19] <Toma-> u still here for help?
[03:19] <Toma-> if not, /quit
[03:19] <nm> actually usually i give the help
[03:20] <nm> and i'll /quit if and when i want, thanks.
[03:20] <sudharsh> ooops...people..plz
[03:20] <Toma-> i scrolled all the way up my buffer and all i saw was you complaining
[03:20] <johndarkhorse> zealotry can be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:20] <eri1> how do you start the ispconfig installation? tutorial doesn't say
[03:20] <gopi> Hi can anyone solve recording problem in xawtv please ?
[03:20] <molkko_> what sw should i install in an ubuntu 5.10 server (=first question when installing i did answer "server") as i want to graphically monitor its load: CPU, I/O etc very basic congestion status
[03:21] <LinuxJones> nm: I am not a zealot I am a realist. I just don't like people coming in here making comments that border on trolling.
[03:21] <sudharsh> molkko_: u'll need x for sure :P
[03:21] <molkko_> i monitor it from a remote ubuntu machine with gnome etc
[03:21] <gopi> The problem is explained in this page.... http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=841401#post841401

[03:22] <davro> im running dapper if that helps ?
[03:23] <Toma-> molkko_, remote resource monitoring?
[03:23] <Toma-> davro, read the topic
[03:23] <molkko_> sudharsh, see my comment above. I ewould need regular ubuntu load monitor with a feature that dont monitor this machine but <IP_ADDRESS> for example
[03:23] <molkko_> Toma-, YES EXACTLY
[03:23] <Toma-> :)
[03:23] <molkko_> sorry shouting
[03:24] <packman_e> hello all
[03:24] <M_A_K> I am new to linux.  I am using Breezy and wish to create an account for mys tudents.  I need them to be able to adjust the network settings, but it seems that only root can do that?
[03:24] <asdfasdfasdf> ok sorry toma-  can i run the "linux rescue"   command at teh boot:  prompt for the installation cd of ubuntu
[03:24] <davro> Toma, sorry what do you mean but read the topic ...

There are no Errors('EE') in Xorg.0.log not really sure what the deal is any suggestions <-- sorry for repeating
[03:24] <Toma-> asdfasdf, yes you can. how many times do i have to say yes?
[03:25] <xstation> hey
[03:25] <asdfasdfasdf> toma- i kept getting disconnected well when i run the linux rescue  i get a black  screen after loading and that is it?
[03:25] <TimothyP> M_A_K, look into sudo, dunno the details, but that should allow you to give some users the right to execute specific commands
[03:25] <Toma-> molkko_, hummm.... ssh then run top? http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/01/18/1932224
[03:25] <Linux_Kong> molkko_: nagios?
[03:25] <Toma-> asdfasdf, no terminal?
[03:25] <asdfasdfasdf> the same thing that occurs during installation this is adub btw.... wont let me get my old nick back
[03:25] <asdfasdfasdf> no terminal
[03:25] <molkko_> Toma-, isnt top only for CPU load. I must check it out....
[03:26] <w000t> can anyone tell me where clearlooks cairo cvs is located?
[03:26] <Toma-> top is tops :D

[03:26] <gopi> well if anyone could solve my xawtv recording problem by looking into http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=841401#post841401  please?
[03:26] <Toma-> asdfasdf, yes
[03:27] <Toma-> asdfasdf, try simply "rescue" instead of "linux rescue"
[03:27] <asdfasdfasdf> toma- ok brb
[03:27] <molkko_> well yes there are plenty of other load characteristics in top. i start with that probably
[03:27] <ricardo_> how can i install a sata hard disk in ubuntu?
[03:27] <Toma-> molkko_, anything more than top and youll be using system resources more than the stuff you want to monitor
[03:27] <molkko_> nagios seems to do the job but seems like a bit overkill at this stage
[03:27] <erchache> anybody install a distributed file system like coda, afs intermezzo?
[03:28] <molkko_> lol
[03:28] <erchache> what is the best and more easy to install?
[03:28] <elkbuntu> ricardo_, has the disk been initalised?

[03:30] <M_A_K> TimothyP : I added the students to the sudo group, but it didn't seem to work.  Besides, I do not wish the students to be able to run everything, just be able to adjust the network settings.
[03:30] <Linux_Kong> gopi: oss: read: Input/output error - i assume the oss here is the sound server, have you tried using alsa
[03:30] <Toma-> Feerx, did you try in #linux ?
[03:30] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> toma- no both commands as soon as i press enter have   /install/vmlinuz.......  so it is trying to run the install
[03:30] <xstation> any help with postfix question please
[03:30] <elkbuntu> ricardo_, open gparted through a terminal
[03:30] <Feerx> Toma-: yep.. crap channel.. noone awnsers
[03:30] <Toma-> asdfasdfasdfasdf, doh.
[03:30] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> that is the reason for the black screen i had to disable framebuffer console to get linux to install on this machine
[03:31] <Toma-> Feerx, try #gentoo
[03:31] <grndlvl_> problem with getting fglrx module to work only thing that has changed is "ati" to "fglrx" in the xorg.conf module is installed not sure why i keep getting error stating 'Module load failure'. There are no Errors('EE') in Xorg.0.log not really sure what the deal is any suggestions
[03:31] <Toma-> asdfasdfasdfasdf, did you goto that website?
[03:31] <gopi> Linux_Kong: Looks like my default is Alsa....
[03:31] <Feerx> Toma-: ok i will
[03:31] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> toma-   but there has  to be a proper command at the boot option to get a prompt to rescue machine if its not linux rescue and not rescue then what is it
[03:31] <mvv> i'am wondering, what do you get when you dist-upgrade breezy but keep the breezy sources.list ?
[03:31] <gopi> Linux_Kong: But anyway how to use it ?
[03:32] <shukhrat> Hello Dear Ubunru users !!!
[03:32] <Toma-> asdfasdfasdfasdf, tried pressing F1 or F3? theres a list of options. READ the damn splash screen
[03:32] <M_A_K> I have a classroom (new to linux) with 2 wireless nic's in each PC with 2 Wi-Fi Routers.  1 for internal network (connecting to a rack of routers to configure for a cisco class) and one for external network (internet).  The PC's keep defaulting back to the internal router as the default gateway.  So, I have to log in as admin and remove the default route for that router.  Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?
[03:32] <shukhrat> Ubuntu !
[03:32] <ricardo_> elkbuntu: the console said command unrecognize
[03:32] <|mp|> will 4 be the last Flight for Dapper before final realease?
[03:32] <Linux_Kong> gopi: dunnno man, just speculating
[03:33] <Toma-> |mp|, yep
[03:33] <elkbuntu> hmm.. odd... i thought gparted was installed with ubuntu..
[03:33] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> toma- which website
[03:33] <Toma-> !info gparted
[03:33] <|mp|> Toma- k
[03:33] <ubotu> gparted: (partition editor for GNOME), section gnome, is optional. Version: 0.0.8+cvs2005061901-0ubuntu4 (breezy), Packaged size: 236 kB, Installed size: 1260 kB
[03:33] <Toma-> asdfasdfasdfasdf, , http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76652.html
[03:34] <elkbuntu> Toma-, gparted can initalise disks, right?
[03:34] <Ries> Heya all... ubuntu can't configure the network while installing the system. My good old Debian stable CD can configure the network at easy.... how would I go proceed and tackle this problem? I wanted to install teh server...
[03:34] <Toma-> i think so
[03:34] <LinuxJones> M_A_K: do you have the default gateway set for your internal network from within network-admin for your nic cards on the client machines ?
[03:34] <Toma-> wont format them
[03:34] <TimothyP> M_A_K, there are scripts in /etc/network/   --> interfaces to define the settings of the interface when they go up, and also in the sub dirs if-up.d/ you can place scripts to be executed when they go up, might help
[03:34] <elkbuntu> Toma-, can cfdisk initalise?
[03:34] <shukhrat> good evening everyone! I can't modify, delete, or rename files in /var/www/ directory. Property says the owner is www-data and group www-data. How can I change the files? And how to become root for graphic X-server? Thanks!
[03:34] <Toma-> no idea
[03:35] <elkbuntu> ricardo_, try installing gparted to get the disk initialised
[03:35] <TimothyP> simply add the command :     gateway X.X.X.X to interfaces under the section of the correct interface
[03:35] <Ng> shukhrat: the easiest way might be to add your user to the www-data group ("sudo adduser yourusername www-data"
[03:35] <Toma-> shukhrat, add yourself to the www-data group?
[03:35] <Toma-> :P
[03:35] <elkbuntu> ricardo_, then if as toma says, it cannot format it, use cfdisk for that
[03:36] <Toma-> err by format i mean mkfs
[03:36] <Toma-> wont format it to a useable filesystem, iirc
[03:36] <Ries> could it maby be a kernel issue? 2.6.12 kernel?!? (if I remember correctly)
[03:36] <gopi> Ng: Hello! Do u have any idea of recording in xawtv ??
[03:36] <Ng> gopi: yeah, it's not very good at it ;)
[03:36] <shukhrat> ng, toma: how to open X-server using root account?
[03:36] <gopi> Ng: oh :(
[03:37] <Ng> gopi: recording from bttv cards generally isn't very good, unfortunately, but I would hope there are better tools, perhaps something like mencoder
[03:37] <Toma-> shukhrat, why on earth would you want that?
[03:37] <chmod775> maxkelley, hi
[03:37] <LadyNikon> shukhrat: why?
[03:37] <gopi> Ng: And does TVtime has recording facility?
[03:37] <Ng> gopi: not sure
[03:37] <phonezone> i have just instaled ubuntu and i tryed to connect to id froam another cpu and i couldn't, any ideeas why ? It sayd conection refused.
[03:37] <Toma-> tvtime doesnt record
[03:37] <LadyNikon> shukhrat: you can log in as user then su to root
[03:37] <phonezone> *to it
[03:37] <shukhrat> to rename, modify files without any restriction
[03:37] <derek[] > Hi
[03:37] <Toma-> gopi, use mythtv or freevo or something
[03:38] <Ng> phonezone: connect how? ssh? if so you need to install openssh-server, it's not included by default
[03:38] <Linux_Kong> gopi: zapping?
[03:38] <phonezone> yes ssh ng
[03:38] <shukhrat> i don't wanna user terminal
[03:38] <Toma-> theres a new tv recorder out... i for get it tho :(
[03:38] <shukhrat> use*
[03:38] <derek[] > Does anyone know how to change the colour of the command prompt line in the terminal to something else than white?
[03:38] <phonezone> and how can i install it ?
[03:38] <_jason> phonezone: install openssh-server
[03:38] <gopi> Linux_Kong: zapping is another TV s/w ?
[03:38] <LadyNikon> derek[] : change the profile.
[03:38] <Ng> !tell shukhrat about root
[03:38] <TimothyP> What takes care of log rotation on ubuntu ?
[03:38] <Linux_Kong> gopi: yeah
[03:38] <_jason> ubotu: tell phonezone about synaptic
[03:38] <Ng> TimothyP: logrotate
[03:38] <ubuntunoob> hey all
[03:39] <gopi> Toma-: I tried a lot to install mythtv but in vain !  But let me try freevo....
[03:39] <ubuntunoob> can anyone help me with installing 'make'
[03:39] <LadyNikon> derek[] : under terminal you can change the profile.
[03:39] <TimothyP> Ng, that's weird, my logrotate.conf file doesn't have an entry for /var/log/syslog and yet it does rotate the log
[03:39] <_jason> ubuntunoob: 'sudo aptitude install build-essential'
[03:39] <Ries> anyother place for help for installing issues?
[03:39] <Toma-> gopi, i failed to install freevo.
[03:39] <ubuntunoob> what is that?
[03:39] <Ries> seems like 666 people is to much here...
[03:39] <derek[] > LadyNikon, I have created those profiles and they don't do what I'm asking for.
[03:39] <gopi> Linux_Kong: How to get zapping ?
[03:39] <_jason> ubuntunoob: install the package build-essential, that is a command that will install it using aptitude (just put it in the terminal)
[03:39] <LadyNikon> derek[] : oh? what are you trying to do..
[03:39] <Toma-> time 4 bed.
[03:39] <Toma-> cyas
[03:39] <Linux_Kong> apt my friend
[03:39] <Ng> TimothyP: perhaps it just does that by default or something. I suggest consulting its docs :)
[03:40] <gopi> Toma-: oh i see :( What system yours is ? 64 bit ?
[03:40] <LadyNikon> derek[] : right now mine is green and black
[03:40] <TimothyP> :)
[03:40] <LadyNikon> derek[] : although i have issues with the default terminal .. i tend to use x-term or e-term.
[03:40] <derek[] > LadyNikon, I want to change the colour of this part "derek@ubuntu:~$" to something else than white
[03:41] <Ng> derek[] : google for a bash prompt howto
[03:41] <LadyNikon> ah
[03:41] <derek[] > ok ng
[03:42] <once> someone has solved the problem with xorg & pci_express  ???
[03:42] <_jason> derek[] : take a look at your ~/.bashrc too, there should be a commented part that changed it to blue and green iirc.  Then just lookup the color codes
[03:42] <derek[] > ok _jason , thx
[03:42] <elkbuntu> heh.. that was odd. isnt /var/www usually www-data owned and grouped? i just noted mine was root owned and grouped
[03:43] <Ries> can I install ubuntu with a other kernel then the one supplied on my CD?
[03:43] <once> anyone got an ati x850 working in ubuntu ?
[03:43] <once> (pci express ati x850)
[03:43] <LadyNikon> Ries: once you install it.. you can also change kernels
[03:43] <goldplatedpentiu> im tryin 2 run dual monitors on 2 cheap (non-ati) cards, help!!!!!!
[03:43] <adub> sweet thanks toma- the link you provided worked hassle free
[03:43] <Ries> LadyNikon: I just found one kernel....
[03:43] <LadyNikon> Ries: i installed it.. then installed the smp kernel since its a dual p3
[03:44] <LadyNikon> Ries: after the install?
[03:44] <Ries> LadyNikon: Maby it's teh CD I have that has just one kernel...
[03:44] <m4steR> hi all
[03:44] <chr1z> once: yeah i got my friends working fine
[03:44] <m4steR> sorry, a question
[03:44] <LadyNikon> Ries: yeah.. after you install
[03:44] <LadyNikon> you get to update everything
[03:44] <m4steR> i can't go on with the ati drivers installation
[03:44] <elkbuntu> Ries, did you look in apt/synaptic?
[03:44] <LadyNikon> it gives you the lastest supported kernel.
[03:44] <kenroy_> i am thinking of buying a laptop to dos some software development  (linux,windows,web programming,etc..)from dell and i want to know what are some good parts i should add when customizing the system
[03:44] <LadyNikon> as well as a few others
[03:44] <m4steR> because the window is too long
[03:44] <once> chrlz working fine with X11 ???
[03:44] <m4steR> howto?
[03:44] <goldplatedpentiu> im tryin 2 run dual monitors on 2 cheap (non-ati) cards, help!!!!!!
[03:45] <Ries> elkbuntu: I simply did apt-cache search linux-image
[03:45] <Ng> goldplatedpentiu: you need to investigate xinerama
[03:45] <once> chrlz can you help me ?
[03:45] <elkbuntu> Ries, use kernel as the search term, see what that brings up
[03:45] <_jason> m4steR: try not to use enter as punctuation.  It makes hard to follow your question.  Try using arrow keys/page down keys
[03:45] <m4steR> ok, let's try
[03:45] <once> chrlz i got gdm and x11 not working and "no screen found" error
[03:46] <Ng> _jason: arroy keys/page down keys?
[03:46] <gopi> How to install freevo ??
[03:46] <Ng> _jason: surely some actual punctuation is preferably? ;)
[03:46] <Ng> -y+e
[03:46] <elkbuntu> once, since when has this happened?
[03:46] <goldplatedpentiu> i have 2 cards but only one gives an image!!! i dont use xine
[03:46] <elkbuntu> once, and, are you using dapper?
[03:46] <Ries> elkbuntu: LadyNikon: rebooting and going to take a look
[03:46] <_jason> Ng: heh I thought that might get confused :)
[03:46] <once> clean install of breezy 5.10 from DVD yesterday
[03:46] <gopi> I tried sudo apt-get install freevo but it said E: Couldn't find package freevo
[03:46] <m4steR> nothing :(
[03:47] <goldplatedpentiu> y cant it b easy like xp
[03:47] <m4steR> _jason,  nothing to do
[03:47] <once> some guru here told me to change xorg.conf adding "option PCIE" to the device configuration
[03:47] <once> the mod probe find a x850pro
[03:47] <_jason> m4steR: someone needs to add what to do to the wiki, remind me once we figure it out or someone else tells us
[03:48] <once> elkbuntu what is dapper ?
[03:48] <elkbuntu> once, the development/unstable version of ubuntu
[03:48] <gr> How can I update from Breezy to dapper, or should I even do it?
[03:48] <once> uhmmmm i didn't jason
[03:48] <elkbuntu> once, if you dont know it then i dont think you have it
[03:49] <_jason> once: ?
[03:49] <Ng> gr: it's not a very good idea if you're not familiar with the internals of debian-like systems
[03:49] <Ng> gr: and it's not long till it's released now :)
[03:49] <elkbuntu> gr, it's currently safe... and it's apt-get dist-upgrade, but be very aware that there is possible breakage. earlier there was a major gtk breakage
[03:49] <goldplatedpentiu> i need dual monitors 4 work, vry tempted 2 go bck 2 xp
[03:49] <once> i only try several configuration of X11
[03:49] <gr> so, I should wait for the release?
[03:50] <_jason> m4steR: can you link me to the file you downloaded?
[03:50] <Ries> elkbuntu: LadyNikon: I just have a 2.6.12-9 kernel.... and with my network doesn't work.... I added a static entry in /etc/network/interfaces and run ifup eth0.... that works without a problem
[03:50] <Ng> goldplatedpentiu: it doesn't seem like anyone in here has any hints for you, so I suggest googling for a xinerama howto
[03:50] <once> so jason do you think i need to change xorg.conf or try with unstable ?
[03:50] <Ries> elkbuntu: LadyNikon: but when I try to ping my gateway (same network, netmask is good and my network address is good) then I get distination host unreacheable
[03:50] <elkbuntu> Ries, make sure it's not listening on eth1 or something
[03:51] <gr> if I dist-upgrade, do I have to modify the repository list in /etc/apt?
[03:51] <elkbuntu> gr yes
[03:51] <Ries> elkbuntu: then ifup eth0 would fail.....
[03:51] <shukhrat> Toma
[03:51] <ubuntunoob> thanks, that worked, what did I just install?
[03:51] <lucasvo_> anybody has set up sftp?
[03:51] <lucasvo_> is there a server which doesn't require a systemuser for every sftp user?
[03:51] <Ries> elkbuntu: I have done this many many times on Debian on several servers.....
[03:52] <elkbuntu> Ries, then you know more about it than i. i was only suggesting ideas
[03:52] <Ries> elkbuntu: normally con fiurating network is a snap for me.....
[03:52] <gr> I see... so I change all occurrences of breezy to dapper?
[03:52] <elkbuntu> Ries, maybe a package reconfigure could help *shrugs*
[03:52] <Ries> elkbuntu: well.. I din't know ubuntu..  and I just see a awefull lot of things are loaded I don't know of
[03:52] <shukhrat> i could't still change anythink in /var/www
[03:52] <Ng> lucasvo_: no, but maybe have a look at the scponly package?
[03:52] <elkbuntu> Ries, i dont know what package that would be though
[03:52] <shukhrat> Ng i could't still change anythink in /var/www
[03:52] <lucasvo_> Ng: thanks
[03:53] <Ries> shrugs is another cartoon character?!?!?!
[03:53] <elkbuntu> shukhrat, what are the curent permissions of your /var/www?
[03:53] <Ng> shukhrat: you'd probably need to log out and back in for it to take effect
[03:53] <m4steR> _jason, https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run
[03:53] <elkbuntu> Ries, no, shrugs is where you shrug
[03:53] <shukhrat> i will try to log out and get back, thanksQ
[03:54] <_jason> m4steR: ok I'll try it even though I have an nvidia :)
[03:54] <Ries> elkbuntu: I am lost.... maby I should ask my gf to shrug me?!?!
[03:54] <elkbuntu> Ries, its where you raise your shoulders a bit as a gesture of not being sure...cant think how else to explain it
[03:55] <m4steR> ok
[03:55] <marc_Collins> hello, I just installed ubuntu and it works great.  One question: my mouse works find until X launches.  It then goes nuts.  I am using a KVM, but have never had this kind of issue b4.  Has anyone come across something similar, where mouse is way too sensitive (non-contrlable) and always moves up and right?
[03:55] <Ries> elkbuntu: hehehe
[03:55] <elkbuntu> Ries, understand?
[03:56] <_jason> m4steR: hrmm shows all the way on 1600x1200 but it seems to change choices with up and down, but that doesn't change screen location?
[03:56] <Ries> elkbuntu: I'll ask my GF :)
[03:56] <once> It is really good to get advice from all you guys, but....is there actually someone out there with a PCI-E based ATI card, that got UBUNTU 5.10 to start up correctly I wonder?
[03:57] <Ng> marc_Collins: what mouse protocol is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:57] <marc_Collins> It is a ps2 mouse
[03:57] <madmonk> hi all
[03:57] <marc_Collins> Having a real hard time getting anythign going
[03:57] <madmonk> i need help with totem!
[03:57] <marc_Collins> but I will doublecheck
[03:57] <madmonk> cen anyone help me?
[03:57] <madmonk> can*
[03:57] <marc_Collins> box is at home, I am at work, looking for ideas
[03:58] <raghu> madmonk, what is the problem?
[03:58] <shukhrat> Ng: no success
[03:58] <ricardo_> elkbuntu: thanks, now i have partition the new hard drive
[03:58] <madmonk> I can't make totem able to use codecs
[03:58] <m4steR> _jason, i can with up and down, but i have an error
[03:58] <Ng> marc_Collins: if it's set to IMPS/2 try changing it to just PS/2
[03:58] <raghu> madmonk: have you installed codecs?
[03:58] <_jason> m4steR: what error?
[03:58] <madmonk> I downloaded Windows All from mplayer website
[03:58] <marc_Collins> Ng, did manage to go to GUI prefs and did not see anything unusual, but then not sure what I am looking for. (I am fairly new to *nix)
[03:58] <_jason> madmonk: install totem-xine
[03:58] <C-O-L-T> Can I open m4v file in ubuntu
[03:58] <madmonk> cause I need to play wmv files
[03:59] <once> It is really good to get advice from all you guys, but....is there actually someone out there with a PCI-E based high-end ATI card, that got UBUNTU 5.10 to start up correctly I wonder?
[03:59] <madmonk> I did it
[03:59] <madmonk> I hve totem-xine workin
[03:59] <Ng> marc_Collins: those preferences would be unlikely to affect it much, it sounds like it's not interpreting the input properly
[03:59] <_jason> madmonk: where did you put the codecs?
[03:59] <marc_Collins> NG I can usually get to a shell, I will edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:59] <madmonk> I don't know where to put them
[03:59] <m4steR> error: vcdk is missing
[03:59] <m4steR> _jason
[03:59] <madmonk> that's the question :)
[03:59] <shukhrat> i have my own index.html and i just want to replace the original index.html. But computer says You have no permission.
[03:59] <_jason> madmonk: forget about them and just install w32codecs, it's a package for them
[03:59] <Ng> shukhrat: hmm, weird. I suppose you could just chown -R the directory to your user, but that's not ideal really
[03:59] <_jason> ubuntunoob: tell madmonk about w32codecs
[03:59] <Ng> marc_Collins: yeah
[03:59] <madmonk> synaptic?
[03:59] <marc_Collins> Ng, agree with you, mouse works perfect during GUI boot, only when X launches formally does issue start
[04:00] <_jason> madmonk: see the private messagae from ubotu
[04:00] <C-O-L-T> _jason: can I open m4v video file in linux?
[04:00] <madmonk> ok
[04:00] <adub> i have an NTFS filesystem that I want user to browse and be able to have full reign over it is currently a read only file system is there a way i can grant user full rights to the filesystem
[04:00] <_jason> C-O-L-T: maybe? what is it
[04:00] <shukhrat> i have my own index.html and i just want to replace the original index.html. But computer says You have no permission.
[04:00] <C-O-L-T> _jason: ipod video format
[04:00] <Ng> C-O-L-T: if you follow the various codec instructions on the RestrictedFormats wiki page you should be able to play them at least with mplayer, if not all of the media players
[04:00] <erus`> im trying to compile an C++ application that uses the std lib. but i get these errors main.cc:(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `std::cout' IOSTREAM IS INCLUDED
[04:01] <_jason> erus`: no need for caps, what command are you using to compile?
[04:01] <erus`> gcc -o app main.cc
[04:01] <marc_Collins> Ng I will investigate the xorg.conf file.  I will also grab another mouse and bypass the KVM.  Have you heard of KVMs causing problems?  Any other suggestions?
[04:02] <elkbuntu> ricardo_, glad i could help :)
[04:02] <shukhrat> Ng, how can I become a user that can delete, modify, or rename any files in the computer?
[04:02] <C-O-L-T> Ng: thanks
[04:02] <_jason> erus`: use g++ for c++
[04:02] <erus`> ah ok
[04:02] <Ng> marc_Collins: yeah they can cause some weirdness. beyond that though I think you'll need to google
[04:02] <m4steR> _jason, error: vcdk is missing
[04:02] <Ng> !tell shukhrat about root
[04:02] <Ng> shukhrat: see what ubotu just messaged you
[04:02] <_jason> m4steR: remeber I don't use ati, so you may want to address the channel
[04:02] <shukhrat> thanks
[04:02] <erus`> cheers jason... i though i changed it in my make file :/ i didnt. thanks again
[04:02] <m4steR> mmm
[04:03] <alheim> does anybody have issue with A6VC laptop and ubuntu dist ?
[04:03] <marc_Collins> Ng, Thanks very much, Google is the faunt of all human knowledge and that will be my next stop.  Much appreciated
[04:03] <_jason> C-O-L-T: yes, I am playing one right now with mplayer
[04:03] <m4steR> so, I will install xorg drivers
[04:04] <m4steR> fglrx
[04:04] <C-O-L-T> _jason: ok
[04:04] <C-O-L-T> _jason: tahnks

[04:09] <fwsp> hi there
[04:09] <administrator> jojo
[04:09] <fwsp> can anyone tell me, how can I install xvid or divx codec?
[04:10] <alheim> search google
[04:10] <_jason> ubotu: tell fwsp about w32codecs
[04:10] <_jason> fwsp: you will want to install totem-xine as well to make totem work with them
[04:11] <chmod775> maxkelley, u there ?
[04:11] <fwsp> _jason:  is totem-xine a package?
[04:11] <_jason> fwsp: yes, you can install totem-xine through synaptic.  For w32codecs just follow the instructions in your private message
[04:11] <madmonk> thank u!!! w32codecs worked!!
[04:12] <madmonk> bye..have a nice day! :)
[04:12] <fwsp> ok
[04:14] <visuales> HOLA
[04:14] <xpjiang> how can i install GCC

[04:19] <echostorm> ahh... screwy. how do i eject a cd/dvd?
[04:19] <gnomefreak> ok i installed the nvidia fx5200 and now i have no X it crashes what do i need to do to get ubuntu to use the nvidia card? i tried disabling the onboard card but guess i did that wrong :(
[04:19] <tomislav_medak> hi, does anyone know where should i place the scripts and programs i want the gdm to execute before it loads a window manager - in this case ion3
[04:20] <xpjiang> Is there any soft like flashget
[04:20] <echostorm> i know how crazy that sounds but its getting locked after ubuntu loads and i need to change cds lol
[04:21] <seraphim> echostorm: there should be an icon on your desktop
[04:21] <fwsp> _jason: thanx, thanx, thanx.... it works!
[04:22] <seraphim> right-click it and eject
[04:22] <HkR> slt
[04:22] <_jason> fwsp: np, I like mplayer as a media player a lot better if you want to try taht
[04:22] <seraphim> another option would be going to a terminal an typeing "sudo eject"
[04:22] <fwsp> _jason: I have another question for you, english is no my first language, so how can I play the movies with (sub, str...) subtitles?
[04:23] <fwsp> are there any plug-in?
[04:23] <_jason> fwsp: I am pretty sure mplayer does that.  I don't play any movies with subtitles so I don't know how to set it up in totem
[04:23] <echostorm> that worked, thanx no icon for some reason
[04:24] <fwsp> no matter, thanx

[04:31] <Amaranth> Dr_Willis: It's naked people facing away from you or lying on their stomachs
[04:31] <dr_Willis> Amaranth:  we need to have a RFC/Standard/ISO standard for Wallpaper and locations of it!
[04:31] <dr_Willis> Amaranth:  Cool. :P lol.. wonder where it saved the files to.
[04:31] <Amaranth> Dr_Willis: I use ~/.Wallpaper
[04:31] <dr_Willis> they dont seem to be showing up in the default wallpaper stuff.
[04:32] <_jason> dr_Willis: /usr/share/backgrounds/
[04:32] <Amaranth> Dr_Willis: Did you install them?
[04:32] <dr_Willis> Amaranth:  i think i did. :P looking in /usr/share/wallpaper  again

[04:38] <lezouave> bonjour
[04:38] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Ratty_ about fixres
[04:38] <lezouave> je cherche le chan francais
[04:38] <gnomefreak> !fr
[04:38] <ubotu> it has been said that fr is Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais
[04:39] <Ng> gnomefreak: perhaps check the bios for an option to disable the onboard vga
[04:39] <johndarkhorse> lezouave: #ubuntu-fr
[04:39] <Ng> gnomefreak: failing that it is possible to put a pci id for the nvidia card in xorg.conf
[04:39] <gnomefreak> Ng: the doc scoop was all i saw for vc
[04:39] <Ng> gnomefreak: I have no idea what doc scoop is
[04:39] <gnomefreak> Ng: dont know how to do it that way
[04:40] <gnomefreak> that makes 2 of us
[04:40] <gnomefreak> lol
[04:40] <Ratty_> should ddcprobe cause a seg fault?
[04:40] <one> anyone willing to help with some sound card issues?
[04:41] <gnomefreak> i used w3m to get dells number but that didnt work either w3m couldnt bring up the support page
[04:41] <Ratty_> that fixvideo page was no help
[04:41] <gnomefreak> Ng: also i installed nvidia-settings and went to install nvidia-gxl and it removed the settings one :(
[04:41] <dr_Willis> gnomefreak:  you called Dell support for a Linux question?
[04:41] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: use links2
[04:42] <Ng> gnomefreak: that doesn't sound right
[04:42] <gnomefreak> johndarkhorse: i cant it fails to start
[04:42] <johndarkhorse> gnomefreak: try lynx
[04:42] <gnomefreak> Ng: thats what i said too but i did it 3 times
[04:42] <Ratty_> 1600x1200@85hz works, but i want 1280x768@60hz, which it doesn't let me use even though i specified it in my xorg.conf
[04:42] <dr_Willis> gnomefreak:  try a live cd..if its x config works.. copy it over.. and start comparing the 2.
[04:43] <gnomefreak> ok ill brb let me try this and yes id call dell trying to find the onboard card shut off
[04:43] <gnomefreak> bbs i hope
[04:43] <gnomefreak> exit
[04:43] <gnomefreak> grrrrrrrrrr
[04:44] <Ratty_> so...
[04:44] <Ratty_> should the offical ati drivers support 1280x768?
[04:44] <dr_Willis> wide screen.. id think so
[04:45] <guim> hi all , i read this  : http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies but I still can't read wmv file
[04:45] <Ratty_> it does 1280x720
[04:45] <guim> what should I do?
[04:45] <dr_Willis> my x200 supports widescreen with the ati drivers
[04:45] <Ratty_> i'm on an x800pro
[04:45] <guim> (i am using multiverse)
[04:46] <dr_Willis> could check out that 'modeline generator' web site - and let it generate a  proper modeline. Or test out some live cd's
[04:46] <guim> anyone to tell how to read .wmv file with totem?
[04:46] <saniX> hi guys
[04:46] <guim> I can't :(
[04:47] <Ratty_> live cd's don't use offical ati drivers
[04:47] <Absenth> does anyone know of a how-to for configuring/using "aide" on ubuntu?
[04:47] <fatehaze> Does Ubuntu work on VIA ITX computer boards?
[04:48] <dr_Willis> Ratty_:  some other then ubuntu's do. :P the default ubuntu drivers set up my widescreen correctly - i recall also.
[04:48] <fatehaze> Specifically, the onboard graphics?
[04:48] <saniX> hi guys
[04:48] <dr_Willis> fatehaze:  id think so. you mean the little epia boards?
[04:48] <Ratty_> refuses to for me :/
[04:48] <saniX> guim, try VLC
[04:48] <Ng> fatehaze: debian works on my epia M10000, which means ubuntu almost certainly should
[04:48] <Ratty_> Xorg.0.log doesn't even list the mode
[04:48] <fatehaze> I'm trying to set up a machine to handle communications at an observatory
[04:49] <ccooke> Ng: yes, ubuntu works on an M10000
[04:49] <fatehaze> I tried SUSE first but it didn't work with the onboard graphics
[04:49] <fatehaze> Sweet
[04:49] <ccooke> I have one installed atm
[04:49] <dr_Willis> thers even a epia linux disrto I thought. :P
[04:49] <guim> saniX, totem won't support them?
[04:49] <fatehaze> Thanks guys, I might have some more questions in a bit
[04:50] <Ratty_> http://ratty.ath.cx/xorg.log
[04:50] <saniX> guim, it's support more type ...try
[04:50] <edward0> fatehaze: if ubuntu can so can suse maybe not "out-of-the-box" but it still can :)
[04:50] <guim> ok i try
[04:50] <fatehaze> SUSE wasn't my first choice anyway :P
[04:50] <LadyNikon> ha
[04:50] <LadyNikon> fatehaze: disclaimer ;)
[04:51] <fatehaze> But whenever someone mentions linux, I jump at the chance to pimp Ubuntu
[04:51] <z3r0x> does anybody know how to extract a xbox iso file? I want to move the files to my xbox
[04:51] <guim> i got the sound, but no image
[04:51] <edward0> fatehaze: lol
[04:51] <fatehaze> I'm no expert on it but I'm certainly a fanboy
[04:51] <fatehaze> I bought a bumper sticker :D
[04:51] <guim> :-(
[04:51] <dr_Willis> "Linux: Phear the Penguinista!"
[04:52] <fatehaze> I recently installed Ubuntu on one of Phil Zimmermann's laptops
[04:52] <kickbutty> hello
[04:52] <alheim> does anybody have issue with A6VC laptop and ubuntu dist ?
[04:52] <dr_Willis> THE Phil Zimmermann?
[04:52] <fatehaze> Yeah
[04:52] <ompaul> fatehaze, kewl
[04:52] <dr_Willis> :P
[04:52] <fatehaze> It's his first real foray into linux, if you'll believe it
[04:53] <fatehaze> He's pretty evangelical about OS X
[04:53] <LadyNikon> fatehaze: ubuntu and gentoo (currently) are my favs
[04:54] <edward0> bloody ricers :D
[04:54] <ompaul> fatehaze, with that :-)    --->>http://www.gnupg.org/
[04:55] <fatehaze> Nice
[04:55] <fatehaze> We're working on zphone right now
[04:56] <fatehaze> Phil is hurting for money, so new project
[04:56] <curley_sue> !volume
[04:56] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, curley_sue
[04:56] <LadyNikon> edward0: :p
[04:56] <fatehaze> He lost over a million dollars in the stock trade :P
[04:56] <jlhenry> Hi
[04:56] <fatehaze> Oh, here's the exact board model - epia PD6000E
[04:56] <fatehaze> Think Ubuntu'll work on that?
[04:57] <curley_sue> Hi all! Does anybody know how to control the audio volune from the console?
[04:57] <BpSyC> hi, you ubuntus, did anyone know about a problem running a cd-wrhiter on an ibm thinkpad r52 whith dapper drake, i read somesthing that there are problems with scsi cd wrhiter with ubuntu kernel 2.6.15
[04:57] <jlhenry> Does anyone knows the "tar" syntaxe for: "ssh remotehost ls | tar czf test.tgz" ?
[04:57] <BpSyC> curley_sue: alsamixer?
[04:58] <jlhenry> I tied this ""ssh remotehost ls | tar czf test.tgz" and ""ssh remotehost ls | tar czf test.tgz -" ... nothing works
[04:58] <dradul> jlhenry, ssh luser@remotehost "the commands"
[04:58] <jlhenry> dradul, the ssh is not an issue
[04:59] <dradul> jlhentry, use forward ticks if you need to protect commands from shell expansion.
[04:59] <AngryElf> hey all, how can i find out what kernel modules have been built into my existing kernel?
[04:59] <jlhenry> dradul, i do ssh login@host with ssh-key identification
[05:00] <jlhenry> dradul, can you tel me further?
[05:00] <dradul> jlhenry, that doesn't really matter ;-). What matters is that you have to protect the commands from shell expansion. Try with 'blh' instead of "blah"
[05:00] <dradul> jlhentry, I'm referring to expansion in the local shell, of course.
[05:00] <edward1> Hello ... again :D
[05:01] <saniX> Guys, Did ubuntu has CD for Software with out install by apt?
[05:01] <edward1> second time gnome froze when using gDesklets, does anyone else have this problem?
[05:01] <jlhenry> dradul, k but i do not see where i need to put protection
[05:01] <Absenth> is anyone familiar with "aide"
[05:01] <edward1> saniX: the live cd has windows software I do believe
[05:02] <dradul> jlhenry, try this ssh you@remotehost 'ls | tar czf test.tgz'
[05:02] <jlhenry> In fact, i need to do the opposit of : ssh remotehost "cat ${TMPFILE}.tar" | tar xv
[05:03] <jlhenry> dradul, no. I need to do a local tar file of the remote ls result
[05:03] <Extreme_Unction> Does anyone know where I can get a Java 1.6.0 or 1.5.0 deb package?
[05:03] <jlhenry> in reality, i do on the remote host a slapcat and i like to do a local backup of the result.
[05:03] <thenuke> jlhenry: would it then be easier to generate the tar in the remote control?
[05:03] <curley_sue> BpSyC, Cheers!
[05:03] <edward1> jlhenry: you could use nc and ssh port forwarding :)
[05:03] <thenuke> jlhenry: and then transfer that
[05:04] <jlhenry> thenuke, i would prefere doing i in one connexion
[05:04] <dradul> jlhenry, that's differnet! Something like this: ssh remotehost 'cat ${TMPFILE}.tar' > local-${TMPFILE}.tar, right?
[05:04] <jlhenry> but yes, it is possible to do in in 2 steps
[05:05] <jlhenry> http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/01/12/1937210
[05:05] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, do u mean Java of Sun (for firefox and so on)?
[05:05] <jlhenry> thoses exemple do local backup on remote host
[05:05] <Extreme_Unction> Yeah, Sun Java.
[05:05] <jlhenry> i'd like to do the opposit: remote backup on local
[05:05] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, do u have breezy?
[05:06] <BpSyC> edward1: i have the same problem,
[05:06] <saniX> edward1, no, i mean Full packges
[05:06] <dradul> jlhentry, you can in fact pipe it through the net.  ssh remotehost 'ls | xargs tar cxf -' > mylocal.tar.gz
[05:06] <saniX> nn
[05:06] <jlhenry> and i'm quite sure that this is possible
[05:06] <saniX> no problem ;p
[05:06] <Extreme_Unction> 5.10 I have...
[05:06] <Parallax_> hi, I just bought a Fujitsu Amilo V2040 and the sound is not working, can someone help me?
[05:06] <dradul> jlhenry, tar czf, blush
[05:07] <Parallax_> its a Intel sound card
[05:08] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, than the instructions for downloading and installing are in the HELP (ububntu 5.10 Starter Guide) under Applications -> Java . just make sure you choose the updated (6) instead of what there...
[05:08] <edward1> Parallax_: http://www.alsa-project.org/
[05:08] <iceman> anyone know where i can get the moodin plugin for kde ...
[05:08] <edward1> Parallax_: there is a list which should tell you if your soundcard is supported and give you directions on how to get it working
[05:08] <Parallax_> I know there is a patch but I dont know how to apply it
[05:09] <Parallax_> http://sq5bpm.sp5zcc.waw.pl/v2040.php
[05:09] <M_A_K> I am a linux newbie teaching a cisco networking class in a high school. I am looking for some assistance with setting up users.
[05:09] <curley_sue> !tell me about paste
[05:10] <colm> M_A_K, using command line or Gnome?
[05:10] <M_A_K> Gnome/KDE
[05:10] <colm> M_A_K, System > Administration > Users and Groups
[05:10] <M_A_K> I wish to give them access to certain administrative functions without giving them total access.
[05:10] <edward1> iceman: ksplash-engine-moodin - Fading KDE splash screen engine ?
[05:10] <Aragorn_Guardian> hi alll
[05:11] <colm> M_A_K, use groups then
[05:11] <M_A_K> colm : I know how to create users.
[05:11] <echostorm> i was wondering if there was a way to make a shortcut for the startbar like cd /home/user/windows sudo wine emule.exe ... kinda stupid but it would e good to know
[05:11] <colm> M_A_K, which functions?
[05:11] <GutterPunk> Hi, I have a problem with my keyboard in ubuntu. The "ALT GR" key doesn't work
[05:11] <Aragorn_Guardian> I need know how can I make a ubuntu live cd...where can I get info?
[05:11] <Aragorn_Guardian> ?live cd
[05:11] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  make a shell script that does it. then call the shel script, but using sudo that way.. may not be easy.
[05:11] <Aragorn_Guardian> !live cd
[05:11] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Aragorn_Guardian
[05:11] <M_A_K> I need them to be able to access the network settings.
[05:11] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  may need to use gksu or some other X alternative to sudo
[05:11] <iceman> edward1 ca you apt get it ?
[05:11] <Fracture> anyone here know how to diagnose problems with gnome-panel ?
[05:12] <edward1> iceman: yes
[05:12] <iceman> edward1 thanks
[05:12] <edward1> iceman: apt-cache search moodin
[05:12] <echostorm> dr_willis: ok, ill start doing research on shell scripts then... thanx
[05:13] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  there are mule clients for linux :P heh.
[05:13] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, I left u the instructions at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9634
[05:13] <raggi_> um, there's a build of lighttpd somewhere in 'universe' (what is 'universe') but i can't get to it through apt-cache search or apt-get, can someone advise
[05:13] <_jason> M_A_K: I think easiest way would be to make a new group and add the group to /etc/sudoers.  There is proper syntax that will allow access only to certain commands (you would just use whatever opens network tools).  I don't know the syntax too well though
[05:14] <echostorm> dr_Willis: I know, its kinda just an example for general windows programs lol
[05:14] <M_A_K> _jason : do you know where I can read more about this?
[05:14] <_jason> M_A_K: man sudoers
[05:15] <M_A_K> Ok.
[05:15] <_jason> M_A_K: probably some easier to read tutorials on google, but I don';t know of any
[05:15] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  cedega uses their Point2Play interface for similer goals.
[05:15] <Extreme_Unction> Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh j2re.sh j2sdk.sh j2se.sh sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk.sh
[05:15] <Extreme_Unction> No matching plugin was found.
[05:16] <M_A_K> _jason : how do I find out what program I need to give access to for network settings?
[05:16] <_jason> M_A_K: by the way, when you edit /etc/sudoers, you want to use the 'visudo' command.  It will make sure you don't mess up the syntax and lock yourself out
[05:17] <M_A_K> Does that mean it uses vi as the editor?
[05:17] <M_A_K> I hate vi
 i didnt know that ill check cedega out :)
[05:17] <_jason> M_A_K: oh come on, vi is awesome.  But no you don't have to use it.  Just do 'EDITOR=nano sudo visudo', I think that will give you nano
[05:18] <uein> how can I control the freq of the CPU??
[05:18] <johndarkhorse> M_A_K: you can also add "export EDITOR=nano " into your ~/.bashrc and always have nano as the editor
[05:18] <chmod775> maxkelley, hi there
[05:18] <chmod775> ?
[05:18] <M_A_K> I know...I just never used it and dont know the syntax
[05:18] <dr_Willis> VI -= learn it . love it!
[05:18] <chmod775> johndarkhorse, I have no luck installing irc cgi
[05:19] <M_A_K> Why is vi so important?
[05:19] <M_A_K> Why not pico or some other one?
[05:19] <chmod775> http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/
[05:19] <johndarkhorse> M_A_K: vi offers many functions not available in nano or simpler editors
[05:19] <dr_Willis> its basicially the defacto standard on 'system recovery' disks for one, and its amazingly powerfull.
[05:19] <dr_Willis> :P
[05:19] <uein> how can I control the freq of the CPU?
[05:20] <Extreme_Unction> powernowd
[05:20] <M_A_K> Are those functions really necessary?
[05:20] <echostorm> ihad problems with vi, i havent read the tutorial yet. nano I was able to figure out on the fly though so i have actually used it
[05:20] <pirate> glxgears used to work, now suddenly I'm gettinging X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) & co.
[05:20] <_jason> M_A_K: not necessary, just more efficient.  You can just use 'ed' too instead of nano if you want to get more basic
[05:20] <dr_Willis> take an hr - run the 'vitutor' and learn it. :P
[05:21] <nny> anyone know of a reasonable alternative to firefox?  maybe something a little lighter but still uses the gecko engine?

[05:31] <johndarkhorse> fatbrain: i use gparted. you can also use qtparted
[05:31] <jessy_> hello, someone's know what software can i use to send simply a 5go file to another person ?
[05:31] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, did u manage?
[05:31] <johndarkhorse> roldan: you should have a private message from ubotu
[05:32] <sesq> hello, how to resize font in fluxbox bars ?
[05:32] <roldan> private message?
[05:32] <colm> jessy_, irc
[05:32] <Extreme_Unction> No, I've gotten Java package but it says "No matching plugin found" when I tried to package up JDK 1.6.0
[05:32] <roldan> an lost
[05:32] <dr_Willis> sesq:  proberly gotta edit the fluxbox theme you are using.
[05:32] <sesq> ok
[05:32] <dooglus> jessy_: what is a 5go file?
[05:33] <fatbrain> johndarkhorse: it was gparted I was thinking about thanks
[05:33] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, did u try following the paste ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9634 )
[05:33] <jessy_> dooglus, it's a file who had a size of 5 Go
[05:34] <Extreme_Unction> Yes, the problem arises from fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
[05:35] <hikenboot> anyone know what incorrect module format means when trying to load a module
[05:35] <Halai> hi can anyone help me out? i have mounted an ntfs partition on my ubuntu system, but it's read only. how would i change the attributes for it to be read/write.
[05:35] <fatbrain> Is there lika a partitioning application that enables you to resize a partition without loosing the data on it?
[05:35] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, is there a reason u r trying JDK and not JRE?
[05:35] <johndarkhorse> Halai: if you write to it, you may destroy it.
[05:35] <Profichilla> ubotu, tell Halai about ntfs
[05:35] <johndarkhorse> fatbrain: use a liveCD and gparted
[05:36] <Extreme_Unction> because I need to compile Java applications aswell
[05:36] <fatbrain> johndarkhorse: ok, thanks
[05:36] <Extreme_Unction> JRE desn't work either, anyways.
[05:36] <Halai> johndarkhorse: all i wish to do is delete some files off my windows drive. it's data only. and i'm backing up some data from my ubuntu box to ntfs, but can't write to the drive.
[05:36] <roldan> still lost in cyberspace here
[05:36] <johndarkhorse> Halai: well, you've been sent info, and warned. ultimately it's your box.
[05:37] <curley_sue> Extreme_Unction, sorry - never tried that...
[05:37] <dooglus> jessy_: I never heard of a Go as a size.  Is it anything like Gb (gigabit), GB (gigabyte), GiB (gibibyte) or Gib (gibibit)?
[05:37] <johndarkhorse> roldan: what client do you use for irc?
[05:37] <Halai> johndarkhorse: are you warning me about losing my windows system or ubuntu?
[05:37] <Extreme_Unction> I'll just settle with this 1.5.0 from Seveas'
[05:37] <roldan> x chat2.4.4
[05:37] <roldan> i think
[05:38] <johndarkhorse> Halai: your windows partition can be destroyed by writing to it
[05:38] <Kr4t05> !doom
[05:38] <ubotu> [doom]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Doom3
[05:38] <johndarkhorse> roldan: look for new tabs with 'ubotu' on them
[05:38] <jessy_> dooglus, Go is french, sorry 1 octet = 1 byte, so Go = GB
[05:38] <Halai> johndarkhorse: if windows is your concern, i don't have one, i just have some old ntfs drives lying around that im trying to keep data on. i actually want to delete some data on those and put some new stuff on there, and if need be i'll reformat the drive.
[05:38] <dooglus> jessy_: I see.
[05:39] <colm> jessy_, are you using XChat?  is the recipient also using XChat?  you can use irc to send a file - right click on the person's name > send file
[05:39] <johndarkhorse> Halai: if you're not worried about data integrity, have at it. the worst that will happen is you'll lose all data
[05:39] <emrah> hello
[05:39] <roldan> you mean talk to the ubuto helper?
[05:40] <jessy_> the sender is under Mac OSX
[05:40] <Halai> johndarkhorse: yeah to be honest, not really that concerned. in the documentation that i got quoted at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions, i don't really see any way to change attributes to write.
[05:40] <johndarkhorse> roldan: do you see any new tabs with "ubotu" on them?
[05:40] <colm> that's fine, MacOSX has IRC clients too
[05:40] <emrah> hatt irgend jemand Zeit und den Nerv,mir zu erklren,wie ich die neue amule version mit KAD auf mein ubunut system installieren?(bin anfnger)

[05:43] <sesq> dr_Willis, hurrey, it works, thnxs !
[05:44] <Extreme_Unction> I have a question.. probably best responded to in a link. Well, new to Linux in general.. I'm getting alot of applications in which I've compiled, or it's just come with the executable. I usually stick them in my home folder, make shortcuts. This is just a bit messy. Where should I stick the components/etc of these applications? Kind of like C:\Program Files\ for Windows? :\
[05:44] <Extreme_Unction> The file hiearchy of Linux or whatnot
[05:44] <Zoroaster> IM at ive365.com, how can I play music
[05:44] <Zoroaster> rythmbox appears to suck
[05:44] <Zoroaster> appears to, because It might be me
[05:44] <dooglus> Extreme_Unction: generally most of the packages you need are in synaptic
[05:44] <_jason> ubotu: tell Extreme_Unction about dirs
[05:44] <dooglus> Extreme_Unction: so you shouldn't be compiling lots of stuff for yourself.
[05:45] <_jason> Extreme_Unction: yeah, I agree with dooglus too
[05:45] <Extreme_Unction> Well, I can't find any for:
[05:45] <Extreme_Unction> Well, so far..
[05:45] <dr_Willis> http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html
[05:45] <Extreme_Unction> Cube, and Eclipse
[05:45] <dr_Willis> over view of the file system layout
[05:45] <dooglus> Extreme_Unction: eclipse is in synaptic for sure
[05:45] <Extreme_Unction> Oh?
[05:45] <Extreme_Unction> Which repository?
[05:46] <dooglus> !info eclipse-platform
[05:46] <ubotu> eclipse-platform: (Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language), section universe/devel, is optional. Version: 3.1.1-1ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 237 kB, Installed size: 1456 kB
[05:46] <dooglus> universe.
[05:46] <Extreme_Unction> Thanks.
[05:47] <cmpalmer> anybody have an answer for st_lim's remastering question?
[05:47] <dooglus> Extreme_Unction: I don't know what 'cube' is.  can't find it in the repos
[05:47] <cmpalmer> I'd like to know that too
[05:48] <Halai> johndarkhorse: there is a line in fstab i found which is my ntfs partition, i assume the ro means read only, what would i substitute it with?

[05:51] <Nitro88> they're blocked
[05:51] <Nitro88> how to resolve?
[05:51] <iBalo> Halai: be warned again, you might shredder the ntfs-partition by writing on it
[05:51] <Nitro88> i can't work
[05:51] <Rob_Dude> If I highlight a bunch of files and go to 'open' it opens all of them, in their own copy of VLC
[05:51] <echostorm> ok... i cant install cedega because it requires xlibs, which cant be installed because its been replaced... um help?
[05:51] <Rob_Dude> hmm, let me try that maybe
[05:52] <dr_Willis> VLC has more options/features then you can imagine. :P  when in doubt check its homepage/docs
[05:52] <Nitro88> can any help me?
[05:52] <tatters> anyone know a good web based management tool like webmin that is officially supported?
[05:52] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  it installed and worked anyway wheni forced it.
[05:52] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  i think theres some outdated package/changes  to 'xlibs'
[05:53] <Halai> iBalo: thanks for your concern.
[05:53] <dr_Willis> echostorm:  however every time i did an apt-get upgrade the system wanted to remove cedega as being 'broken' :(
[05:53] <Halai> thanks for all your help guys
[05:53] <echostorm> dr_Willis same here
[05:53] <digital-ninja> is it possible to set up samba on my network so that the other windows computers don't need a usr name and password to access shares?
[05:53] <zarephath_> Ok I just installed Ubuntu on my PC...tried to start xserver and said it is not properly configured...tried running xorgconfig...but that results in nothingness?
[05:54] <zarephath_> digital-ninja: Yes
[05:54] <digital-ninja> do you know where i could find that info likein the wiki or smthing?
[05:54] <dr_Willis> digital-ninja:  a read of 'using samba'  book avial online. will give ya all kinds of info
[05:54] <dr_Willis> theres dozens of samba guides/tutorials out.. its a very 'big' topic. :P
[05:54] <digital-ninja> thank you i will take a look at that
[05:55] <st_lim> no one's got an answer??
[05:55] <dr_Willis> samba can do some neat tricks
[05:55] <amyn> hi _jason
[05:55] <dr_Willis> digital-ninja:  also you could just use 'ssh' and 'winscp' on the windows box's - it seems to be a little easier to setup. :P well trivial even..
[05:55] <amyn> hi everyone
[05:55] <Mabus06> If I swap hard drives between two different computers, but the wifi card is the same, should it work?
[05:55] <zarephath_> dr_Willis: So I am wondering why Ubuntu didn't setup Xserver correctly after boot? What command to configure xorg?
[05:55] <Mabus06> The internet that is.
[05:56] <dr_Willis> zarephath_:  not sure. dpkg-reconfigure xserver or simthing similer.
[05:56] <fatbrain> johndarkhorse: What was the name of the partitioning software again? I forgot as soon as I booted the live-cd, heh :)
[05:56] <zarephath_> dr_Willis: thanks

[05:57] <iceman> dr_Willis where can i install add new icons themes ?
[05:57] <cmpalmer> st_lim: does that help?
[05:57] <Nitro88> hi all i've got a big problem when i put down the programs in the selection bar when i reopen it

[05:57] <Nitro88> i can't work
[05:57] <tatters> yup

[06:06] <tatters> everytime I reinstall Ubuntu I always get packages are not authenticated when updating and a warning they could be malicus
[06:06] <tatters> not once have had a clean update scenario
[06:06] <fangorious> i'm trying to verify an image was burned successfully, should 'md5sum /dev/cdrom' compared to 'md5sum file.iso' be sufficient?
[06:06] <johndarkhorse> fangorious: yes.
[06:07] <saniX> fangorious, md5sum file.iso
[06:07] <arrinmurr> how can i change the keyboard layout?
[06:07] <fangorious> thanks

[06:08] <mikebot> does anyone know how i can remove some of the serach bars from firefox? i deleted the files from the folder, but theys till appear
[06:08] <mikebot> i even got that removal tool extension
[06:08] <dr_Willis> amyn:  it dont take effect till a reboot.. use 'hostname' command to change them now.
[06:08] <saniX> arrinmurr, right click on panle then add panle
[06:08] <fangorious> Zoroaster: change the default application for playlists in nautilus
[06:09] <saniX> arrinmurr, you will fine Keyboard Indicator
[06:09] <amyn> amin@amin:~$ hostname
[06:09] <fangorious> Zoroaster: right-click on a playlist and select properties, go to the Open With tab, and set your preferred default
[06:09] <amyn> amin
[06:09] <amyn> hostname is just showing the hostname
[06:09] <fangorious> Zoroaster: if your preferred default isn't listed, click the Add button
[06:09] <amyn> how do i use the hostname command to change it
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> amyn,  'man hostname' learn to use the command
[06:09] <fangorious> amyn: hostname <newhostname>
[06:09] <mikebot> anyone know about removing items form the search menu in firefox?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> Linux tip #1 - learn how to learn. :P
[06:10] <Coll3g3kid> If i want to clear the value of something in the nvram such as wan_ipaddr should i type in "nvram unset wan_ipaddr" or "nvram set wan_ipaddr" whithout using any equal sign
[06:10] <nich2chien> hi
[06:10] <arrinmurr> saniX: ok, i'll try that thanks
[06:10] <fangorious> mikebot: look in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins
[06:10] <zarephath> Dr_Willis: Isn't that a oxymoron? heh
[06:11] <fangorious> mikebot: also ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/searchplugins for ones you've installed yourself
[06:11] <mikebot> fangorious, i deleted them from there
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> zarephath,  like being a 'windows expert' :P
[06:11] <amyn> how to logout su from terminal and login with my normal user ?
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> amyn,  'exit' logs out  of a su session
[06:11] <mikebot> fangorious, i deleted them from: home/opt/firefox/searchplugins
[06:11] <johndarkhorse> amyn: exit
[06:11] <mikebot> fangorious, i don't know where those other folders are
[06:11] <johndarkhorse> amyn: and using 'su' is not advised
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> zarephath,  heh - getting where there needs tobe a #ubuntu_linux_101 channel.
[06:12] <fangorious> mikebot: ~ means your home directory
[06:12] <amyn> guys my terminal is not opening now
[06:12] <bit_seqz> hey fellas, ive taken my laptop appart to fix some problems, Im going to clean up all the plastic (casing), and I want to repaint all the plastic peices... or maybe vinyl sticker or something would be better? whats a good treatment ?
[06:12] <amyn> what happened ? i just changed the hostname and exited
[06:12] <fangorious> amyn: you probably need to restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
[06:13] <mikebot> fangorious, okay, so in my home i don't have mozilla, it is opt
[06:13] <mikebot> fangorious, and then firefox, and i deleted themf rom there
[06:13] <mikebot> fangorious, where is that other folder you mentioned
[06:13] <zarephath> Dr_Willis: Well I ain't no expert by a long shot..experience is the best teacher..
[06:13] <fangorious> mikebot: in your home directory there will be a .mozilla folder with your firefox profile. the '.' at the start is important
[06:13] <zarephath> I always liked the well lets see if it works how I tried it first then ask the question mode..
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> zarephath,  'i want to know it all... right now!' :P
[06:13] <nich2chien> does anybody know a usb wifi adaptor?
[06:14] <zarephath> Heh
[06:14] <mikebot> fangorious, in my home, there is only
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> zarephath,  'i want to know it all... right now! and dont use any big words!' :P
[06:14] <mikebot> fangorious, Desktop, linuxdcpp, opt, websites
[06:14] <Coll3g3kid> If i want to clear the value of something in the nvram such as wan_ipaddr should i type in "nvram unset wan_ipaddr" or "nvram set wan_ipaddr" whithout using any equal sign
[06:14] <fangorious> mikebot: anything starting with a '.' is hidden. do ls -A to see it, or just trust me and 'cd ~/.mozilla'
[06:15] <mikebot> fangorious, okay
[06:16] <mikebot> fangorious, ah, okay
[06:16] <fangorious> :)
[06:16] <mikebot> fangorious, but in .mozilla..
[06:16] <echostorm> how rediculous. the pdf viewer that comes with ubuntu doesnt allow for reflow - thats ok, i wasnt expecting it to, but adobe themselves dont even make a version of acrobat for linux, just their lusy reader!
[06:16] <johndarkhorse> echostorm: try evince
[06:16] <Ng> johndarkhorse: that's the default pdf viewer in ubuntu which he presumably already used
[06:17] <bit_seqz> echostorm, ridiculous.
[06:17] <Ng> echostorm: the windows version may well work in wine
[06:17] <fangorious> mikebot: there should be a firefox folder, and in that, a randomly names kj324ij34kl.default folder
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> I never have figured out why firefox uses names like  kj324ij34kl.default
[06:17] <fangorious> mikebot: the part before ".default" is random so just do an ls to see what it is
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:17] <johndarkhorse> Ng: really? i had to install evince to be able to use it.
[06:17] <mikebot> fangorious, okay, so in. ~/home/.mozilla/fireox/ff1.5/lejxsznc.default/searchplugins
[06:17] <mikebot> fangorious, are only the ones i've installed
[06:18] <fangorious> mikebot: you can also look in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins, /usr/lib/mozilla/searchplugins
[06:18] <mikebot> fangorious, where is usr?
[06:19] <fangorious> mikebot: in /
[06:19] <echostorm> im giving evince a look now. just thought i would share - what reflow is by the way is a function that automatically restrucures the layout of the paragraphs to fit on the screen, regarless of the zoom. (think word wrap). for anyone who actually cares and doesnt know
[06:19] <amyn> when i was logging in. An error appeared sayin 'cannot look up your hostname'
[06:19] <amyn> this is so complicated
[06:19] <Nitro88> hi all i've got a big problem when i put down the programs in the selection bar when i reopen it
[06:19] <Nitro88>  they're blocked
[06:19] <V4Vendetta> amyn~ did you put spaces in your hostname ?
[06:19] <amyn> what was the command to edit hostname
[06:20] <fangorious> mikebot: anything that starts with a '/' is at the root of your filesystem, anything that doesn't start with '/' is relative to your current directory
[06:20] <amyn> ?
[06:20] <V4Vendetta> amyn~ sudo gedit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[06:20] <V4Vendetta> don't use spaces
[06:20] <V4Vendetta> in your hostname..
[06:20] <mikebot> fangorious, in home there is no usr folder
[06:20] <mikebot> fangorious, and i am showing hidden folders
[06:20] <cmpalmer> mikebot: it's not in your home directory
[06:20] <amyn> i am not using any space
[06:21] <fangorious> mikebot: it's not in your home folder, it's in /. type in 'cd /' and then do an ls
[06:21] <cmpalmer> mikebot: try this: cd /
[06:21] <Gallopin> ah oui
[06:21] <Howitzer> Few questions
[06:21] <gnomefreak> ok card is set up in 2d i think :(
[06:21] <mikebot> fangorious, ah, i'm not trying in terminal, i was navigating in folders
[06:21] <grndlvl_> BCM4306 802.11b/g having trouble installing, installed via ndiswrapper seems to have installed correctly, but i am having trouble activating
[06:21] <amyn> sudo: unable to lookup home via gethostbyname()
[06:22] <fangorious> mikebot: ah, if you're in nautilus with the side panel, look under filesystem
[06:22] <gnomefreak> command for checking rendering is fglrx | findfps   right?
[06:22] <mikebot> fangorious, ah okay, here we go
[06:23] <FraZena> Signori, se ve ne fregasse qualcosa il problema di prima della scheda di rete s' risolto aggiornando il BIOS della piastra madre...
[06:23] <Howitzer> All involved with gnome: 1) Is there a possibility i can have a rightclick-fluxboxlike menu on the desktop? 2) How can i make my own gnome themes(=>Metacity themes?) 3) Will Gnome 2.14 be available in Dapper?
[06:23] <fangorious> i'm getting an Input/output error when I run md5sum on /dev/cdrom, but it mounts just fine and I can navigate its filesystem
[06:24] <mikebot> fangorious, how come i cannot delete the files from this folder?

On the drive I have two existing NTFS partitions and few gigs of free space (I had Mandrake 10 installed on it before). When I try to install Ubuntu and it comes to partitioning I can't see any partitions on my hard disk. It looks as if it is a brand new drive. I have the option to partition it on my own but that way I would loose all data. When I try to
[06:31] <mikebot> fangorious, do i need to download a codec or soemtihng for divx to work, or is it pre-installed?
[06:31] <mikebot> fangorious, that was to anyone, sorry
[06:31] <gnomefreak> direct rendering is yes does that mean i have 3d?
[06:31] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell mikebot about multimedia
[06:32] <frank23> gnomefreak: yeah it means 3d should work
[06:32] <gnomefreak> :) yay
[06:32] <fangorious> mikebot: are you running breezy or dapper?
[06:32] <mikebot> johndarkhorse, thanks
[06:32] <gnomefreak> is there easy way to test?
[06:32] <sesq> What program p2p do you use to download mp3 ?
[06:32] <mikebot> fangorious, breezy
[06:32] <sesq> ( on linux )
[06:32] <johndarkhorse> sesq: we don't advocate that stuff in here
[06:32] <amyn> ok lissen up guys. I m v.new to linux or ubuntu. i dont know a thing about shell/bash. what should i do first ? i need to learn the file system of linux and cli commands and their functions. just personally recommend me a webbsite from which i can easily learn both of them.
[06:33] <johndarkhorse> amyn: did you get a message from ubotu?
[06:33] <fangorious> mikebot: 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse' should cover you for a large variety of codecs
[06:33] <sesq> johndarkhorse, but im talking about legal mp3 ( delete after 24h )
[06:33] <MadMan1234> i get a file too big error when i try and copy a dvd ISO (4.4gigs) from one drive to another

[06:33] <amyn> johndarkhorse, yes. But again there are many sites .. which one is the best ?
[06:33] <insta`> Has anyone used sshfs before?
[06:33] <mikebot> fangorious, okay, thanks
[06:33] <frank23> sesq: you can ask what program can go on a specific p2p network.
[06:34] <mjr> insta`, yes, it's nice

[06:34] <mjr> insta`, can't reconnect always, it seems, but otherwise works
[06:34] <kenroy_> i am looking to buy a laptop that i can put linux on and do some work. i would like to kow iftheintel duo core laptops (preferrably the 1.8GHZ) any good
[06:34] <kenroy_> i am also going to use windows on it too
[06:34] <insta`> mjr: did you have any permission problems with the local fusemount binary?  I'm using ubuntu breezy packages, and I'm getting permission denied.
[06:34] <dooglus> amyn: try this: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/gs/node5.html
[06:35] <sesq> frank23, something like Bearshare from windows ( gnutella ) i use gtk-gnutella but it is not simillar to bearshare
[06:35] <dooglus> insta`: I use it a lot
[06:35] <quitenormal> sesq don't forget to mention the giFTd.
[06:35] <dooglus> insta`: I got that problem, yes.
[06:35] <frank23> sesq: I don't know gnutella. I know appolon can go on gnutella
[06:35] <insta`> dooglus: how did you fix it?
[06:36] <sesq> frank23, ok, but what do u use to DL mp3s ?
[06:36] <dooglus> insta`: I don't remember.  what's the error message exactly?
[06:36] <frank23> sesq: wrong question
[06:36] <insta`> fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
[06:36] <mikebot> how can i make a link to a folder on my desktop?

[06:37] <amyn> sudo: unable to lookup home via gethostbyname() . whats wrong with my hostname now ?
[06:37] <mikebot> dooglus, just open the folder home/dc++/downloads
[06:37] <dooglus> insta`: I remember now.  you need to add yourself to the 'fuse' group and log in again.
[06:37] <MadMan1234> it's actually from one machine to another via samba share
[06:38] <sesq> frank23, thnx anyway
[06:38] <dooglus> mikebot: so you want ~/Desktop/downloads to be a link to ~/dc++/downloads ?
[06:38] <mikebot> dooglus, somehting like that, yeah
[06:38] <dooglus> mikebot: if so, type "ln -s ~/dc++/downloads ~/Desktop/downloads"

[06:39] <equador> how chmod NTFS partition, because now i haven't permissions ?
[06:40] <wastrel> !ntfs
[06:40] <ubotu> ntfs is, like, the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[06:40] <gnomefreak> Belboz99: dapper or breezy?
[06:40] <Belboz99> equador, don't chmod an NTFS partitiion
[06:40] <insta`> Simple enough, thanks.
[06:40] <dooglus> mikebot: "man ln" will tell you the details, but it does what you asked for
[06:40] <johndarkhorse> equador please don't chmod partitions
[06:40] <fangorious> equador: mount it with -o umask=0222
[06:40] <equador> i have mount, but i don't have permisions
[06:40] <dooglus> insta`: got it?
[06:40] <Belboz99> gnomefreak, breezy, is dapper out?
[06:40] <equador> how i can get all permisions
[06:40] <mikebot> dooglus, okay, thanks
[06:40] <Howitzer> Hi all
[06:40] <sesq> has XGL already out ???
[06:40] <johndarkhorse> equador: edit your fstab with the info from fangorious
[06:40] <Howitzer> i have a problem
[06:40] <mikebot> dooglus, do you know what this means:W: Couldn't stat source package list http://wine.sourceforge.net binary/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/wine.sourceforge.net_apt_binary_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[06:40] <mikebot> W: Couldn't stat source package list http://wine.sourceforge.net binary/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/wine.sourceforge.net_apt_binary_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[06:41] <dooglus> insta`: "sudo adduser inst fuse" will do it.  then log out and in again.
[06:41] <gnomefreak> equador: no there is a gtk issue in dapper thats why i asked
[06:41] <Howitzer> In GDM and Fluxbox, the font is WAY too small
[06:41] <fangorious> equador: the ntfs driver is readonly
[06:41] <Howitzer> In Gnome however, it's okay
[06:41] <dooglus> gnomefreak: the gtk issue in dapper was fixed about 12 hours agog
[06:41] <V4Vendetta> how do i find out if i have an ata, ide or whatever hard-drive ?
[06:41] <gnomefreak> dooglus: i didnt know its still in topic
[06:41] <fangorious> exit

[06:41] <Howitzer> but in fluxbox, i have to set the font to a size of about 24 to make them readable
[06:41] <dooglus> gnomefreak: oh, i see
[06:42] <insta`> dooglus: Yeah, I got that.  It's currently trying to mount in VT#1.  Is a long, long pause most likely a fault of my host, rather than local configuration?
[06:42] <johndarkhorse> equador: you've been given info to fix your problem
[06:42] <gnomefreak> equador: read the site ubotu is going to send you
