[01:37] <fallingdutch> anyone here using svn and has installed ubuntu6.10?
[01:37] <ToHellWithGA> what command can i run to change the settings for xorg to allow new refresh rates and resolutions?
[01:37] <javaJake> shiner421, I mean, I installed Beryl (as has thousands others) and we've never hit that problem.
[01:38] <fenrig> now i need to reconfigure /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[01:38] <shiner421> I still dont know how to properly install stuff
[01:38] <shiner421> and on top of that
[01:38] <fenrig> but i cant get on my hard drive to fix it
[01:38] <shiner421> bah to heck with it
[01:38] <jrib> !xconfig | ToHellWithGA
[01:38] <ubotu> ToHellWithGA: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:38] <javaJake> shiner421, However, you turned off your computer (probably not the correct way - power button)
[01:38] <shiner421> I had no choice
[01:38] <javaJake> shiner421, heh, sorry, I really truly think when you turned off your computer incorrectly the hard drive did something.
[01:38] <shiner421> the logout button wouldnt work
[01:38] <daviey> How can i make my desktop appear a 16:9 output?
[01:39] <shiner421> NOTHING was responding after rebooting after installing beryl
[01:39] <prOMiNd> weeee
[01:39] <ToHellWithGA> thanks jrib
[01:39] <prOMiNd> hi all :D
[01:39] <javaJake> shiner421, there are methods to shutting down (the Raising Skinny Elephants Is Boring method)
[01:39] <shiner421> no menus, buttons, links, programs, etc.
[01:39] <shiner421> right but after I installed beryl, nothing worked
[01:39] <shiner421> I had no choice
[01:39] <fenrig> can sombody help?
[01:39] <shiner421> and now I dont know how to get ubuntu to even boot properly
[01:40] <javaJake> shiner421, yea, there's really nothing any of us can do here except tell you to back up your stuff and reinstall
[01:40] <shiner421> the kernels I installed are actually still there, but they dont show up in the menu.lst file
[01:40] <fenrig> how do i mount a harddrive on
[01:40] <fenrig> a live cd
[01:40] <shiner421> ok then my question is this:
[01:40] <shiner421> I am using 6.10 edgy
[01:40] <javaJake> Ye
[01:40] <apokryphos> prOMiNd: please turn that off.
[01:40] <javaJake> Yea*
[01:40] <biotrox> fenrig | just mount as usual
[01:40] <fenrig> it says
[01:40] <fenrig> permission denied even in root
[01:41] <daviey> fenrig, i told you.  mount /dev/xxx /mnt/xxx
[01:41] <fenrig> okey
[01:41] <echosystm> hmm, guys, ubuntu sees my hard drives on my raid controllers, but not as an array
[01:41] <shiner421> and once I reinstall, I want to setup multimedia (be able to stream video from firefox), get my video card drivers properly installed, and get the proper kernel that I should be running installed
[01:41] <echosystm> if i set them up as single disk arrays, could i use software raid?
[01:41] <shiner421> never did get gstreamer to work
[01:41] <shiner421> it always says something about mms not working
[01:41] <Unity> hi i am new, how to solve after 'apt-get install linux-686' on Dapper and reboot mouse & keyboard don't work, same problem straight after install of Edgy Eft
[01:41] <fenrig> bash: /dev/sda2: Permission denied
[01:41] <echosystm> or would performance suck due to the controller not having drivers etc. ?
[01:41] <shiner421> the linux-686 package is faulty
[01:42] <shiner421> it dont work
[01:42] <javaJake> shiner421, you want the generic kernel
[01:42] <fenrig> it doesnt wants to mount
[01:42] <daviey> fenrig, /dev/sda2 does exist?
[01:42] <fenrig> yeah
[01:42] <shiner421> isnt the generic kernel the one that has the fewest features and doesnt support the features of my processor?
[01:42] <fenrig> gparted says so
[01:42] <shiner421> I have a P4
[01:42] <Unity> shiner421:  is this true?
[01:42] <biotrox> fenrig | r u sure ? that sda2 really exist
[01:42] <shiner421> well, it dont work for me
[01:42] <javaJake> shiner421, I have a P3, and I still use the generic kernel
[01:43] <fenrig> yeah
[01:43] <fenrig> wait
[01:43] <daviey> fenrig, and your certain that the device IS sda2 and your are doing it as root?
[01:43] <shiner421> I tried and when I booted into the 686 kernel it didnt even get far enough to start an x server
[01:43] <javaJake> shiner421, besides the improvements over each are minor. :P
[01:43] <Unity> k thx
[01:43] <javaJake> shiner421, oh, really?
[01:43] <shiner421> exactly my point jake
[01:43] <javaJake> shiner421, before beryl?
[01:43] <shiner421> I want to use all the features of my processor
[01:43] <shiner421> yea
[01:43] <shiner421> before beryl
[01:43] <javaJake> shiner421, ewww... ok....
[01:43] <javaJake> shiner421, holy smokes
[01:44] <daviey> fenrig, do fdisk -l to see what is attached
[01:44] <shiner421> oh good god get this
[01:44] <roovis> I like Beryl :)
[01:44] <shiner421> now my synaptic package manager is GONE
[01:44] <javaJake> shiner421, rofl
[01:44] <shiner421> GRR I want to check out beryl!
[01:44] <gbrent> ccan someone help me write my sudoers file with visudo?
[01:44] <shiner421> but ubuntu is so buggy ill never get there
[01:44] <kurisutofuaa> How do I convert a .cdr image to .iso image?
[01:44] <javaJake> shiner421, "sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl*"
[01:44] <shiner421> as much as I hate windows, there is a reason it is so popular
[01:44] <roovis> shiner421: anticompetitive business practices?
[01:44] <gbrent> What do I do to test the Sudoers file before saving it?
[01:44] <daviey> shiner421, because it is supplied with most new machines?
[01:44] <Volstrup> does anybody know of a good graphical 'frontend' for managing which services to start at which runlevels with Ubuntu/Gnome?
[01:45] <roovis> daviey: right on :)
[01:45] <javaJake> shiner421, Windows has its uses, for sure. Linux is not for everyone. Windows is for the average user, while Linux is for the rest of us. :)
[01:45] <javaJake> shiner421, NOT to say that average users can't make the jump, but unless they either really want to or need to, they'll never stick with Linux.
[01:45] <johns^> javaJake: not true. Linux is for the people who want to get a job done
[01:45] <javaJake> In my Experience
[01:45] <shiner421> there is no reason linux has to be so difficult to use
[01:45] <daviey> javaJake, Correct!  numnuts should use it as 'users' so they can't break it!
[01:45] <echosystm> anyone?
[01:46] <apokryphos> !offtopic
[01:46] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:46] <Unity> i want to get gfx card installed lol
[01:46] <echosystm> running drives ona raid controller without drivers?
[01:46] <javaJake> apokryphos, oh fine
[01:46] <johns^> :) ask yourself this: how much work would it take to install beryl like functionality on XP
[01:46] <javaJake> :P
[01:46] <shiner421> what is the PROPER way to install a new kernel?
[01:46] <l3mr> hi, i upgraded from dapper to eft and noticed that there are no more 686-smp kernel images, only -generic. how can i get an image the does support smp?
[01:46] <javaJake> shiner421, apt-get install, or Synaptic.
[01:46] <roovis> a support channel?
[01:46] <shiner421> ive done 3d desktops n windows and its a LOT easier than ubuntu
[01:46] <pao> HI I have installed ubuntu on a powerpc but I have no ideo wheter I have a CD player or a CDRW how can I easily know ?
[01:46] <Volstrup> l3mr: all kernels now support smp
[01:46] <javaJake> l3mr, the generic kernel works for everything now
[01:46] <gbrent> Looks like this became an argument channel over linux Windows
[01:47] <Ekinoks> for a "AMD X2", what Ubuntu i need ? "Ubuntu PC" or "Ubuntu 64-bit PC" ?
[01:47] <javaJake> lol..
[01:47] <gbrent> Please argue in #windows
[01:47] <johns^> shiner421: on Fedora Core 6 xgl/3d stuff is a click away
[01:47] <Unity> any alternative to 'apt-get install linux-686' ?
[01:47] <shiner421> how can I have lost synaptic from my system menu?
[01:47] <bimberi> !generic | l3mr
[01:47] <ubotu> l3mr: Background to the decision to replace -386, -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html
[01:47] <l3mr> Volstrup: hmm, trying to boot generic doesn't work, it stops when "trying to get acpiid" right at the beginning ..
[01:47] <johns^> I guess on Ubuntu 7.0x it wil be no differend
[01:47] <shiner421> thats one distro I havent tried yet, and I am thinking about going that way
[01:47] <gbrent> can someone help me write my sudoers file with visudo?
[01:48] <Volstrup> l3mr: what cpu do you have?
[01:48] <cpk1> installing from debian debs shouldnt cause any problems right?
[01:48] <l3mr> pentium D 3.2
[01:48] <apokryphos> cpk1: of course it can
[01:48] <gbrent> cpk1: no
[01:48] <javaJake> johns^, 3D stuff on 7.0x will be different, actually, if what I've heard is true.
[01:48] <bimberi> cpk1: it can. what's the package?
[01:48] <johns^> I've got Dapper, Edgy en Core 6 running at the moment. Ubuntu is easyer to setup
[01:48] <shiner421> im gonna try to reboot into the regular linux-generic kernel, but chances are it wont be able to start an x server
[01:48] <cpk1> libxine
[01:48] <l3mr> it cannot find the uuid that ubuntu wants, and falls  back into busybox
[01:48] <gbrent> I have not had any issues
[01:48] <cpk1> there isnt a dapper backport for it
[01:48] <johns^> javaJake: link?
[01:48] <javaJake> shiner421, hold on a sec...
[01:48] <javaJake> johns^, yea, two moments
[01:48] <screechingcat> how do i add a userscript to the greasemonkey in epiphany ?
[01:48] <apokryphos> cpk1: mp3 codecs for xine?
[01:49] <shiner421> I think that synaptic is gone cause I am in safe mode
[01:49] <cpk1> no, the xine library
[01:49] <cpk1> i want to to play flacs in amarok
[01:49] <cpk1> 1.1.1 doesnt work
[01:49] <biotrox> i already detect my genius webcam
[01:49] <cpk1> need 1.1.2 or greater
[01:49] <apokryphos> cpk1: edgy has 1.1.2
[01:49] <biotrox> but i don't know how to use this device :P pls help
[01:49] <cpk1> yes, but I am running dapper and stubborn =P
[01:50] <javaJake> johns^, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/composite-by-default https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/accelerated-x
[01:50] <apokryphos> cpk1: I'm not sure why it's not working, it really should.
[01:50] <javaJake> johns^, I can't find the other one... there was one other one...
[01:50] <johns^> javaJake: thanks!
[01:50] <apokryphos> cpk1: your safest bet is recompiling the ubuntu debian src from the edgy package
[01:50] <javaJake> shiner421, Check to see what processes are running.
[01:50] <javaJake> shiner421, any ssh processes? How about apt-gets?
[01:50] <shiner421> I do believe I jsut removed EVERY instance of my nvidia driver
[01:51] <tim167> please help! alsa is not working after i installed an update how can I fix this
[01:51] <shiner421> ahh
[01:51] <shiner421> forgot how to check processes
[01:51] <daviey> shiner421, top
[01:51] <shiner421> yea ghehe I no longer have any video drivers installed
[01:51] <cpk1> apokryphos: just using apt-build you mean? and hoping it doesnt end up wanting to rebuild tons of other stuff
[01:51] <l3mr> booting the 386 kernel works, booting generic throws me into busybox, saying ALERT: /dev/disk/by-UUID/somelongnumbers doesn't exist
[01:51] <javaJake> shiner421, Well, there's the GUI way (System -> Administration -> System Monitor) or terminal way (ps -A)
[01:51] <javaJake> shiner421, another terminal way, (top) but that won't give you everything
[01:51] <shiner421> got around 12-15 processes running
[01:51] <_raphael_> why do I have to remove ubuntu-desktop in order to remove openoffice? I want to install debs from openoffice.org
[01:52] <shiner421> oh
[01:52] <javaJake> shiner421, you on livecd?
[01:52] <apokryphos> cpk1: with apt-get -b, yes, and hoping -- yup.
[01:52] <shiner421> no
[01:52] <javaJake> shiner421, k
[01:52] <shiner421> I am in the generic kernel resuemode
[01:52] <shiner421> *rescue mode
[01:52] <apokryphos> _raphael_: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[01:52] <javaJake> shiner421, yep
[01:52] <shiner421> sh is running
[01:53] <shiner421> what I think I need to do now is reinstall my kernel and my nvidia drivers
[01:53] <javaJake> shiner421, kill it. (muhahahaha)
[01:53] <daviey> _raphael_, because ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package linking all required packages together.  If you remove one package the the virtual package isn't complete.  if it forces removal of ubuntu-desktop you will not loose gnome
[01:53] <shiner421> ok killed sh
[01:53] <javaJake> shiner421, I'm wondering if either an apt-get program is removing stuff, or someone got in and is making a mess, because to have programs disappearing like that is uncanny.
[01:54] <shiner421> I think its me
[01:54] <shiner421> I think its cause I am in rescue mode
[01:54] <shiner421> I am going to reboot
[01:54] <cpk1> apokryphos: so if in the event that fails is it relatively safe installing from a debian deb?
[01:54] <shiner421> if it dont work, I am going to bed and ill work on it after work tonight
[01:54] <edgy> Hi, how can I tell whether the OS installed is plain ubuntu or ubuntu server?
[01:54] <XCute4God> pls... anyone... ive tried to install BERYL and EMERALD themes in my Edgy 6.10, ATI X700 with 3D acceleration enabled, but the official guide didnt worked for me ;( ... anyone can help me?
[01:54] <_raphael_> daviey: so it is safe to remove, but I should reinstall it when I upgrade to feisty?
[01:54] <shiner421> for the love of god Xcute DONT! Lol
[01:54] <shiner421> J/K
[01:54] <apokryphos> cpk1: no, it's not ever really safe installing from a debian deb. Things are done differently there.
[01:55] <apokryphos> edgy: dpkg -l|grep desktop
[01:55] <apokryphos> !beryl | XCute4God
[01:55] <ubotu> XCute4God: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:55] <l3mr> what can i do to prevent grub in edgy to replace the root=/dev/sda1 with some weird UUID stuff when updating grub?
[01:55] <apokryphos> _raphael_: right
[01:55] <shiner421> thats what I dont get is when I install a kernel, it installs fine, but never updates the menu.lst file
[01:55] <shiner421> so you cant boot into it
[01:56] <javaJake> XCute4God, Compiz is supposedly smoother, faster, and more stable... look into that too.
[01:56] <edgy> apokryphos: but may be the person who installed it removed the -desktop package
[01:56] <apokryphos> edgy: well dpkg -l|grep gnome
[01:56] <apokryphos> or gtk
[01:56] <edgy> apokryphos: ok thanks
[01:57] <XCute4God> [javaJake] : hmmm
[01:57] <XCute4God> javaJake thanks
[01:58] <shiner421> WOOT! I did it!
[01:58] <shiner421> and I have no idea how LOL
[01:58] <shiner421> ok so I now have a running system again
[01:58] <daviey> wooohoo
[01:58] <astroman> is anyone knows where i can find awk version of unix command ??? like fold, head, tail, diff thx
[01:58] <shiner421> synaptic is back
[01:58] <shiner421> so how do I install my nvidia drivers?
[01:58] <shiner421> ill do this one step at a time
[01:58] <javaJake> shiner421, try the forums
[01:59] <shiner421> the forums did nothing but to confuse me further
[01:59] <shiner421> there were like 8 ways to install the drivers
[01:59] <kaur> my laptop's idle cpu temp is about 50 C and I don't know what is causing it
[01:59] <kaur> please help
[01:59] <javaJake> Holy SMOKES! Feisty's an Upgrade Maniac! I installed 9 updates and 10 minutes later 9 more are available... :P
[01:59] <kaur> sometimes it is 43 C and doesn't go higher
[02:00] <protocol1> is there a way to find out which graphics driver im using from console?
[02:00] <jrib> astroman: what do you mean?
[02:00] <HymnToLife> protocol1,    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver
[02:00] <javaJake> kaur, my temp is lucky to get to that point. :P
[02:00] <anwar> can anybody tell me the name of the package that is on the desktop CD that appears in system > administration as "Disks"?
[02:00] <HymnToLife> the last line it will return will most certainly be your graphics driver
[02:00] <anwar> need to install it via apt/synaptic
[02:01] <astroman> jrib : i need to find the bash command diff, fold, tail, head program with awk ???
[02:01] <javaJake> Here's the deal: I've got this here laptop running on a P3 processor. Now, this processor is supposed to be able to scale between two frequencies: 7xx MHz and 997MHz, but it is sticking at 997MHz in Feisty. How in the world to I get the thing unstuck? :)
[02:01] <kaur> javaJake: do u have any idea how to cool it?
[02:01] <johns^> HymnToLife: must by Driver
[02:01] <Rage__> javaJake: I used powernowd on my debian laptop...
[02:01] <johns^> grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf is shorter
[02:02] <FreeNet> hi may i know how to install a *.bin file for example this game "PlaneShift_CBV0.3.017.bin"
[02:02] <jrib> astroman: ok, I'm not familiar enough with awk to understand the question, maybe someone else can help
[02:02] <FreeNet> it says it's for ubuntu
[02:02] <HymnToLife> grep is case insensitive I think
[02:02] <HymnToLife> but I might be wrong
[02:02] <astroman> thx anyway
[02:02] <johns^> FreeNet: sh *.sh
[02:02] <javaJake> kaur, mmm, no, the laptop should automatically decide when it is too hot and turn on a fan or something
[02:02] <javaJake> Rage__, powernowd... ok...
[02:02] <anwar> can anyone answer my question?
[02:02] <kaur> javaJake: it turns on the fan when it reaches 50, but it should not reach that high at all when idle
[02:02] <javaJake> johns^, lol
[02:02] <daviey> FreeNet, easyiest way is to burn it to cd
[02:03] <daviey> (i epect
[02:03] <daviey> FreeNet, BIN is normally a CD image
[02:03] <shiner421> ok, got my drivers installed
[02:03] <FreeNet> any way else without having to install to CD?
[02:03] <javaJake> kaur, ok, don't know what to say...
[02:03] <shiner421> now where did you say to go to PROPERLY install beryl?
[02:03] <javaJake> shiner421, wiki.beryl-project.com
[02:03] <javaJake> shiner421, and follow the AiGLX instructions.
[02:03] <shiner421> k thanks :)
[02:03] <kaur> javaJake: I've looked around in the forum and it seems that this is a common bug
[02:04] <javaJake> kaur, oh, ok...
[02:04] <javaJake> kaur, perhaps the problem is the same as mine - processor running at full speed even when idle. :P
[02:04] <anwar> hello??
[02:04] <shiner421> hmm wiki.beryl-project.com is no good
[02:04] <apokryphos> !beryl
[02:04] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[02:04] <kaur> javaJake: i had that problem and i solved it
[02:05] <javaJake> shiner421, WHAT!?
[02:05] <javaJake> kaur, oh, how?
[02:05] <FreeNet> is there any DVD drive emulator that i can use for the *bin?
[02:05] <kaur> javaJake: u aren't using the generic kernel by any chance?
[02:05] <javaJake> FreeNet, probably. Google it. :)
[02:05] <shiner421> yea it goes to some non related page
[02:05] <javaJake> kaur, yea
[02:05] <javaJake> shiner421, hmm, let me get you a direct link
[02:06] <kaur> javaJake: there seems to be a bug in it
[02:06] <halorgium> i have a "server" install of ubuntu
[02:06] <halorgium> if i want to get a "desktop" install
[02:06] <kaur> javaJake: use 686 kernel
[02:06] <halorgium> what do i need to do?
[02:06] <FreeNet> javaJake>	If telling people is the only thing you know.. then i'll say i can do a better job...
[02:06] <kaur> the goog old one
[02:06] <javaJake> kaur, mm, no, works in edgy, just not in feisty.
[02:06] <FreeNet> google.
[02:06] <johns^> FreeNet: mount -o loop <binfile> /mnt/
[02:06] <Samuli^> halorgium, sudo apt-get install (k)(x)ubuntu-desktop
[02:06] <kaur> javaJake: mine doesn't work in edgy
[02:07] <javaJake> FreeNet, I'm saying that because I know I've seen something for that for Windows in Google, so there's probably a Linux one.
[02:07] <halorgium> Samuli^: good, i'm doing that :)
[02:07] <johns^> FreeNet: but .bin files aren't often cd images.
[02:07] <kaur> javaJake: i think it's the Dual Core stuff that confuses it
[02:07] <johns^> unless it's windows :)
[02:07] <javaJake> kaur, uh, yea, I've got a P3, so no dual stuff happening here.
[02:08] <javaJake> shiner421, http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/AiGLX
[02:08] <shiner421> jake, right from the start the aiglx instructions dont work for me
[02:08] <shiner421> I cannot get a key
[02:08] <FreeNet> no john... no luck
[02:08] <shiner421> it says no valid openpgp data found
[02:09] <shiner421> its got some crazy symbols in the instructions
[02:09] <javaJake> shiner421, ok, well, you don't need the key. That's just to check to be sure hackers aren't trying to get into your system. Which is one in a million.
[02:09] <johns^> FreeNet: what did you try. The mount command or sh
[02:09] <kaur> is there a channel for laptop issues?
[02:09] <shiner421> I take it I dont want experimental packages?
[02:09] <FreeNet> mount
[02:09] <daviey> FreeNet, is the bin execuatble?  Try chmod +x xxx.bin      Then ./xxx.bin
[02:09] <FreeNet> sh not working too
[02:10] <johns^> output?
[02:10] <FreeNet> can alien work?
[02:10] <daviey> FreeNet, where did you get the bin file?
[02:10] <johns^> FreeNet: it's not a cd image, just looked at the website
[02:10] <FreeNet> download from planshift's site
[02:10] <johns^> it's a binary
[02:10] <FreeNet> it
[02:10] <FreeNet> it's for debian distro
[02:11] <johns^> it doesn't end on .sh huh? so the command should be sh *bin :)
[02:11] <javaJake> OK, that's wierd. My CPU just suddenly decided it was scaled and everything works now. :P
[02:11] <prOMiNd> any know website for send free sms- in all country ?!
[02:11] <prOMiNd> Oo :)
[02:12] <FreeNet> not working for sh *bin
[02:12] <ArCHoNKoG> is there any way you can restore /var/lib/dpkg
[02:12] <klm-> are firefox 1.X:s configurations (bookmark toolbar folder and mouse gestures) transportable to Firefox 2:s config folders?
[02:12] <daviey> prOMiNd, you'll struggle to get a reliable SMS site that doesn't attach adverts for free
[02:13] <prOMiNd> huh ?
[02:13] <kaur> what would be the best way to figure out why ny laptop's cpu temp is too high? Cpu usage seems to be normal
[02:14] <FreeNet> nvm guys... i think i'll have to sort out some other time... i can't find a good newsgroup client for reading my school newsgroup either.
[02:14] <FreeNet> i have to use my slower Windows System to do it now.
[02:14] <johns^> FreeNet: Knode
[02:14] <johns^> or slrn
[02:14] <johns^> :)
[02:15] <johns^> gui or cli
[02:15] <daviey> Anybody know how to easily set my desktop to be widescreen?
[02:15] <silentace> question about ubuntu... running it now almost fresh install... can ubuntu read fat32 and ntfs hard drives? what i want to be able to do is access my mp3's on my windows partition
[02:15] <compengi> how to check what's my kernel through the terminal?
[02:15] <shiner422> it did it again :(
[02:15] <daviey> silentace, yes
[02:15] <rapid> compengi: uname -a
[02:15] <cpk1> silentace: of course it can
[02:15] <shiner422> completely froze my system
[02:16] <shiner422> however
[02:16] <shiner422> when I rebooted
[02:16] <silentace> how do i mount my windows drives?
[02:16] <cpk1> silentace: its writing to it that can get tricky =)
[02:16] <shiner422> everything works fine now
[02:16] <rapid> silentace: man mount
[02:16] <shiner422> so thanks a TON jake :)
[02:16] <shiner422> your the man!
[02:16] <shiner422> I dont know why it froze
[02:17] <cpk1> silentace: sudo mount /dev/nodeofyourpartition /media/somefolderyoumade
[02:17] <biotrox> hello hello
[02:17] <shiner422> ubuntu automatically installed mounted and configured my windows partition
[02:17] <rapid> shiner422 thats nice
[02:17] <biotrox> can anybody help me with my webcam...?
[02:17] <rapid> biotrox possibly
[02:17] <shiner422> I got lucky
[02:17] <daviey> shiner422, only if attached at initital install
[02:17] <silentace> yeah when i did the install it had them on there and i was worried it would try and mess with them
[02:18] <shiner422> ahh
[02:18] <tim167> how do i DOWNGRADE my kernel ?
[02:18] <silentace> so i took them off
[02:18] <rapid> tim167 compile the kernel you want and install it. read the kernel-howto
[02:18] <biotrox> I can detect my usb webcam
[02:18] <biotrox> don't know how to integrated it with yahoo or msn
[02:18] <biotrox> or skype
[02:18] <daviey> use /dev/video0  (or something)
[02:19] <silentace> how do i find the partition nodes?
[02:19] <tim167> rapid: the problem is: i dont know exactly which one I had, i just lost all my sounddevices after upgrading via ubuntu update notifier yesterday
[02:19] <biotrox> use /dev/video0 where..?
[02:19] <biotrox> what application..?
[02:19] <shiner422> is jake gone? or just busy?
[02:19] <shiner422> I have to go, someone give him my thanks for his patience and assistance
[02:19] <shiner422> I REALLY appreciated it! and learned a lot :)
[02:20] <shiner422> I am one more step closer to losing windows finally!! woot!
[02:20] <shiner422> gnight all
[02:20] <cpk1> silentace: if the windows partitions are in the fstab you can just do sudo mount -a
[02:20] <rastilin> Anyone ever got qemu to compile with kqemu?
[02:20] <silentace> new to all this... what is fstab?
[02:20] <FreeNet> how do i find my newly installed knode? why it's not in the Application Menu Link?
[02:20] <halorgium> file system table
[02:20] <rapid> silentace its where all your drivers are mounted cat /etc/fstab
[02:21] <halorgium> silentace:
[02:21] <rapid> drives sorry
[02:21] <daviey> silentace, fdisk -l will list the partitions
[02:21] <biotrox> silentace | fstab is where you mount all your partitions
[02:21] <halorgium> rapid: no, it is where the configuration for the mounting is stored
[02:21] <biotrox> !fstab
[02:21] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[02:21] <biotrox> ya i mean that
[02:21] <halorgium>  /proc/mounts show the current mounts
[02:21] <rapid> halorgium that is what I meant.
[02:21] <itsmabus> Why does my computer stop responding when I remove the keyboard?
[02:22] <biotrox> rapid | how to use the /dev/video0
[02:22] <itsmabus> ie: it can't be pinged when the keyboard comes out
[02:22] <daviey> halorgium, did what rapid say make sense?! your being pedantic
[02:22] <rapid> itsmabus thats wierd.
[02:22] <rapid> biotrox make sure the program supports it
[02:22] <halorgium> daviey: what rapid said was completely different
[02:23] <halorgium> configuration != runtime
[02:23] <biotrox> rapid i don't know what program support video webcam
[02:23] <itsmabus> rapid: Yeah, I have 4 servers like this sitting here... 1 working keyboard.
[02:23] <itsmabus> 3 problems
[02:23] <daviey> halorgium, no *completely* different
[02:23] <rapid> Its the file that has the configuration where all the drives are mounted, same thing
[02:23] <TritonX> irc.ogame.net
[02:23] <halorgium> meh
[02:23] <halorgium> i thought it was a useful clarification
[02:24] <cypher1> how can one create a bootable dvd ?
[02:24] <rapid> burn a bootable image to it
[02:24] <daviey> halorgium, i disagree
[02:24] <halorgium> that's fine :)
[02:25] <spox> what is 8001 in " tc qdisc show dev ppp0" output and how one can control it?
[02:25] <itsmabus> Where do you statically manage your ip addresses in ubuntu?
[02:25] <rapid> spox: probably the port number.. looks like a streaming port, check /etc/services
[02:25] <Rage__> itsmabus: /etc/network/interfaces
[02:26] <spox> rapid: not sure - I have 8001 8002 and 8003 for tree discipline leafs
[02:26] <cypher1> rapid: ok but how do i create a bootable image ?
[02:26] <ArCHoNKoG> is there any way you can restore /var/lib/dpkg
[02:26] <biotrox> !xawtv
[02:26] <Rage__> itsmabus: you want static instead of dhcp. man that file.
[02:26] <ubotu> xawtv: X11 TV application. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.95-4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 227 kB, installed size 656 kB
[02:26] <rapid> cypher1 use a burning tool, k3b should suffice
[02:27] <cypher1> rapid: k3b will create a bootable image from an iso ?
[02:27] <rapid> if the iso has a boot able image contained for sure
[02:27] <rapid> cypher1
[02:27] <l3mr> i have an nvidia 8800 graphics card, which is not supported by the drivers in ubuntu edgy. If I try to install the drivers using the original nvidia auto installer package, it says it can't find the X directories...any ideas on how to get nvidia installer to solve this? or are there recent drivers available pre-packaged?
[02:27] <itsmabus> Rage__: thank, got it.
[02:27] <spox> qdisc sfq 8005: parent 1:101 limit 128p quantum 12187b perturb 10sec ---------- What's "8005" ??
[02:27] <rapid> l3mr take a look at nvidia site for your correct driver
[02:27] <tabman> using which utility can I extract .tgz & ps.gz files ?
[02:28] <spox> gunzup
[02:28] <l3mr> rapid: i did download the installer from there, but it cannot find the X directories it complains?
[02:28] <spox> gunzip
[02:28] <behdad> Hi folks , is there any knows that how can i get easyUbuntu ?
[02:28] <rapid> tar
[02:28] <spox> tar xvzf file.tar.gz
[02:28] <dabaR_> !easyUbuntu
[02:28] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[02:29] <behdad> thanks alot ,
[02:29] <age6racer> hey all... what's the command to invoke openoffice.org 2 from the terminal?
[02:29] <rickross> hi all, I have a new motherboard with a Realtek RTL8111 gigabit lan controller on it - the Edgy 64-bit install CD doesn't recognize
[02:29] <dabaR_> age6racer: oo<tab><tab>
[02:29] <jrib> age6racer: press oo<TAB><TAB>
[02:30] <rickross> is there a place to download a CD with latest 2.6.18 kernel on it already?
[02:30] <age6racer> jrib thanks
[02:30] <halorgium> rickross: are you running a core duo 2?
[02:30] <halorgium> haven't trouble getting installed?
[02:30] <HymnToLife> rickross, get Debian :)
[02:30] <dooglus> I just upgraded from dapper to edgy, and when I rebooted, my X display is corrupted and the virtual termnals are black-on-black
[02:30] <rickross> halorgium - yes, it is an E6600 on an Asus P5B-VM
[02:31] <dooglus> any suggestions?
[02:31] <halorgium> rickross: get the boot.img
[02:31] <rapid> rickross just compile the 2.6.18 kernel
[02:31] <halorgium> i went and got a usb stick and installed from that
[02:31] <uMISTA> ok apt-get says i have iptables intstall but when i trying the do /etc/init.d/iptables restart, it says its not there?
[02:32] <rickross> halorgium - is there a wiki page that describes what to do?
[02:32] <halorgium> rickross: yip
[02:32] <halorgium> it is on my winxp install
[02:32] <halorgium> which isn't booted atm
[02:32] <|markie|> during the desktop installation..  i dont have the option for a to install on a software raid.... is it possible to install or reconfigure the desktop to use software raid ?
[02:32] <halorgium> cause i'm actually just installing now!
[02:32] <halorgium> haha
[02:32] <rapid> rickross: why don't you get the source and compile it?
[02:33] <halorgium> rapid: he doesn't have an installation to do so from
[02:33] <rickross> rapid - the machine has no network conenctivity at all
[02:33] <rapid> rickross: get the boot.img then :)
[02:34] <rambo3> uMISTA man iptables
[02:34] <cdavis_> How do you get the rsa fingerprint of an  ssh server?  I mean when I ssh to it after I save the fingerprint, I dont know where to see that fingerprint anymore
[02:34] <rickross> rapid - any url that describes how to do that (haven't had to do it before)
[02:34] <uMISTA> ok apt-get says i have iptables intstall but when i trying the do /etc/init.d/iptables restart, it says its not there?
[02:34] <rapid> rickross: what distribution? ubuntu?
[02:35] <rickross> rapid - yes, Ubuntu Edgy 64-bit
[02:35] <jrib> cdavis_: ~/.ssh/known_hosts  I believe is where it is saved to
[02:35] <rambo3> uMISTA, and they never will be there
[02:35] <rapid> rickross: isn't the CD bootable?
[02:35] <uMISTA> so why do how to tell me type such a thing in?
[02:35] <rickross> the CD is bootable - does it already have 2.6.18 kernel sources on it?
[02:36] <rapid> rickross: not sure.
[02:36] <rapid> rickross: can't you do that once its installed.
[02:36] <halorgium> rickross: no
[02:36] <dooglus> what do I need to do to get an sshd running in edgy?
[02:36] <halorgium> rapid: no, the ide channels aren't detected :/
[02:36] <dooglus> I think I've installed the 'ssh' package.  do I need to edit any config files?
[02:36] <rapid> dooglus start the deamon "sshd"
[02:36] <jrib> it shoudl start after being installed
[02:36] <cdavis_> jrib, ya but they are not the same as the one that shows up when I type ssh?  are they just in a different format?
[02:37] <rambo3> uMISTA,  sudo iptables -L and see rules , you can flush add remove
[02:37] <dooglus> rapid: my display is corrupted, so I can't see what I'm doing.  I'm hoping to run sshd so I can fix it from a different box
[02:37] <jrib> cdavis_: not sure
[02:37] <rapid> dooglus type reset
[02:37] <dooglus> rapid: the X display is corrupted - it's like each like is 10 pixels too short, so everything's skewed diagonally across the screen
[02:37] <rickross> rapid - I don't have any network at all on the machine, and I am a relative noob when it comes to getting drivers in at install time
[02:37] <rapid> dooglus: press ctrl+alt+f1
[02:38] <dooglus> rapid: the virtual console windows are all black
[02:38] <rickross> usually I have been able to just apt-get whatever I needed
[02:38] <dooglus> no white text
[02:38] <bigbro> jacquesmerde: You should not be seeing different permissions in different subdirectories. Are you mounting over SAMBA, or mounting a local FAT32 drive?
[02:38] <rapid> dooglus: restart the X server with ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:38] <jrib> cdavis_: man 8 sshd   has info on the format
[02:38] <rapid> rickross: why do you need a 2.6.18 on the box if it will have no network access etc.
[02:38] <dooglus> rapid: I have done, but it comes back the same.  upgrading from dapper to edgy did this.
[02:39] <ArCHoNKoG> which one takes up more ram kde or gnome
[02:39] <jrib> ArCHoNKoG: probably about the same
[02:39] <rickross> rapid - I understand that the required network drivers may already be present in latest 2.6.18 version
[02:39] <apokryphos> ArCHoNKoG: it's probably not worth trusting anyone's answer to that
[02:39] <_raphael_> when will openoffice 2.1 (preferably norwegian) appear in the ubuntu repo(s)?
[02:39] <dooglus> rapid: I managed to get logged in using ssh.  the magic words were "sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start"
[02:39] <Samuli^> ArCHoNKoG, to me, KDE is slightly snappier feeling
[02:39] <rapid> dooglus cool
[02:39] <halorgium> rickross: you want the url?
[02:40] <apokryphos> ArCHoNKoG: though, see http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/
[02:40] <rickross> halorgium - yes, thanks
[02:40] <rapid> rickross: www.kernel.org
[02:40] <jacquesmerde> bigbro: local. i think i've screwed fat32 attributes with chmod somehow
[02:40] <usr_rob>  Which one gives best result: cdparanoia or cdda2wav ?
[02:40] <bigbro> jacquesmerde: I would say that's a distinct possibility, yes.
[02:41] <rickross> rapid - nothing more specific than that (a little like "use the internet")
[02:41] <rapid> rickross: whats wrong?
[02:41] <halorgium> rickross: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1805806
[02:41] <halorgium> nearer the bottom
[02:41] <bigbro> jacquesmerde: Try umounting and remounting it? Have you got any overlaid filesystems?
[02:41] <halorgium> have you got a window box?
[02:41] <dooglus> rapid: running a dpkg-reconfigure and accepting all the default values fixed it, too, so it's strange that the upgrade broke it!
[02:41] <rickross> rapid - nothing wrong, it's just a very general url - not particular to my question
[02:41] <halorgium> cause the boot.img you'll need to get the files on a linux box
[02:42] <halorgium> or someone could extract and zip em for ya
[02:42] <IMYojimbo> hi
[02:42] <rickross> what about prelim versions of Feisty?
[02:43] <apokryphos> what about it?
[02:43] <rickross> how stable is ubuntu in early stages of next release?
[02:43] <itsmabus> rapid: and now, even with a kvm switch... switching from one computer to the other with the scroll lock X2, up key combo freezes BOTH machines
[02:43] <IMYojimbo> Is someone arround here bored enough to team up and develop something?
[02:43] <apokryphos> rickross: it varies between releases. Edgy was very unstable throughout. Fesity of course will be very unstable now and for the upcoming few months
[02:44] <itsmabus> IMYojimbo: Probably not the best place to ask... ;) Why, what are you interested in?
[02:44] <rickross> so it's better to simply get latest kernel into a stock Edgy install?
[02:44] <IMYojimbo> itsmabus: i don't know, something in java maybe..? :)
[02:45] <jacquesmerde> bigbro: mounting and unmounting? i've deleted the entire linux distro that had mounted it, and reinstalled linux
[02:45] <itsmabus> IMYojimbo: I don't know a lick of anything outside of perl. Not that I'm unwilling to learn.
[02:45] <itsmabus> /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:45] <IMYojimbo> itsmabus: you've got any ideas?
[02:45] <rizhun> ok, i've read the stuff on the wiki and downloaded the windows driver for my wireless card. i've installed it with ndiswrapper. but when i run a 'ndiswrapper -l' it says invalid driver..
[02:45] <bigbro> jacquesmerde: ANd what are you seeing?
[02:45] <bigbro> jacquesmerde: What permissions are wrong?
[02:46] <rizhun> if i look at the ndisgtk it says no hardware
[02:46] <rizhun> but i can see the card in an lspci...
[02:46] <itsmabus> IMYojimbo: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:46] <rizhun> can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong here?
[02:46] <jacquesmerde> the writability permissions. i just chmod'ed them all writable, i just hope it fixed the fat32 attributes
[02:47] <dooglus> !info apt-file
[02:47] <ubotu> apt-file: APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.8ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 96 kB
[02:47] <frogzoo> jacquesmerde: chmod doesn't work with fat32 - use mount options instead
[02:47] <dooglus> aah - universe..  I was forgetting about that...
[02:48] <pablo> hi, i have a problem, my machine detects the wireless but it says disconected, with the live cd it worked correctly
[02:48] <ReTyPe> i dont have the powerdown button anymore, how do i readd it to the shutdwon/logoff window ?
[02:48] <jacquesmerde> frogzoo: chmod MUST do soemthing to fat32 ouside the mount. its the ONLY way this makes sense
[02:49] <dooglus> pablo: are you using a 686 kernel?
[02:49] <rizhun> can anyone help me to get ubuntu to recognise my wireless card?
[02:49] <dooglus> pablo: the live CD worked for me (with a 386 kernel) and won't connect to my wireless card if I use a 686 kernel
[02:49] <jrib> jacquesmerde: the permissions won't be there next time you mount
[02:50] <pablo> dooglus: yes something similar, but where do i chose the kernel
[02:50] <jacquesmerde> jrib: they must be. they even withstand a complete deleting of linux
[02:50] <frogzoo> jacquesmerde: pass 'umask=0000' as an option in /etc/fstab & remount
[02:50] <dooglus> pablo: at boot time, hit escape to see the menu
[02:51] <jacquesmerde> nah, i dont do stuff i dont understand
[02:51] <pablo> dooglus: once ubuntu installed?
[02:51] <chibiace> anybody got a screwdriver?
[02:51] <rizhun> dooglus, you can choose which kernel to run at startup?
[02:52] <jrib> jacquesmerde: what does "that" mean exactly?  What permissions?
[02:52] <vlt> Hello. I installed lvm2 via aptitude. When I try to execute one of lvm's commands in /sbin/ (that btw. are all symlinks to a binary called lvmperversion or similar) an error msg "No program lvfoobar found for your current version of LVM" appears. What does it mean?
[02:52] <frogzoo> !ntfs | jacquesmerde
[02:52] <ubotu> jacquesmerde: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[02:53] <pablo> dooglus: so ubuntu live cd uses 386 kernel and it installs a 686 kernel and thats why with the live cd it works and once installed not?
[02:53] <k3k0> hola alguien ke hable espaol
[02:53] <dooglus> pablo: once it's installed, yes.  it will install the 'grub' boot loader.  as it starts booting, it'll day "esc for menu" and count down (from 3 I think).  hit esc to see a list of installed kernels
[02:53] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, seriously chmod doesn't work on fat32 because it simply doesn't support it
[02:53] <dooglus> pablo: I don't know if it installs a 386 or 686 kernel by default, and I don't know if you're having the same problem as me, either.
[02:54] <jacquesmerde> well, SOMEthing in linux seems to alter native fat32 attributes. its the only thing that would explain it...
[02:54] <jrib> jacquesmerde: what are the native fat32 attributes you are talking about?
[02:54] <pablo> dooglus: ok thanks, i will try
[02:54] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, as a workarround some default set of chmod are displayed/used, which are set when the partition is mounted
[02:55] <jacquesmerde> that allocated bit in files in fat32
[02:55] <frogzoo> jacquesmerde: nope - once fat's mounted, linux assumes all files have the same permission
[02:56] <jacquesmerde> i've mounted a fat32 partition, and obviously changed attributes to the fat32 partition, coz when i unmounted, deleted linux, reinstalled, remounted, the permissions were the same, and fat32 aint get no permissions
[02:56] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, look in /etc/fstab (for example, my fat32 disk has defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 as options (umask is chmod))

[02:56] <pablo> dooglus: there is only one type of kernel
[02:56] <ProN00b> well, the archive bit could change, dunno about that, but the permissions don't change
[02:57] <jacquesmerde> ProN00b: the problem is with different directories inside the partition having different "permissions", fstab mounts the partition wholesale
[02:57] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, what is the problem ?
[02:57] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, that can't happen, all dirs+files on the disk should have the same permissions once mounted
[02:57] <dooglus> pablo: the other thing to make sure is that you have the corresponding 'linux-restricted-modules-...' kernel installed.
[02:58] <gnu> hi when I try to copy files from a dvd in some cases it says: error i/o when copying
[02:58] <dooglus> s/kernel/package/
[02:58] <gnu> anyone knows what to do?
[02:59] <klm-> if I paste a bunch of lines (separated with enter) into terminal, will it process all of them?
[02:59] <pablo> dooglus: what should i do, with the live cd it worked and now that it is installed no
[03:00] <dooglus> pablo: run "dpkg -l | grep linux-rest" and paste me the output
[03:00] <FYI> hello, I've searched and searched, but I cannot find out how to delete a custom emblem
[03:00] <jacquesmerde> ProN00b: EXACTLY! but thats not what happened!!!
[03:00] <jacquesmerde> ProN00b: the mount must have been responding to fat32 attributes
[03:01] <ReTyPe> i dont have the powerdown button anymore, how do i readd it to the shutdwon/logoff window ?
[03:01] <ThePub> FYI: as in under nautilus?
[03:01] <FYI> ThePub: yes
[03:01] <buzzy> hello
[03:01] <buzzy> how can i configura grub menu.lst ?
[03:01] <vlt> vlt: When you try to execute one of lvm's commands and an error msg "No program lvfoobar found for your current version of LVM" appears it could be because of a kernel compiled w/o LVM support ;-)
[03:01] <HymnToLife> buzzy, edit it in your favourite text editor
[03:01] <Navyseal> video editor for ubuntu?
[03:01] <ReTyPe> buzy: with sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:01] <dooglus> which kernel do I need in edgy to take advantage on my dual-core processor?
[03:01] <lnx^_> heya
[03:02] <ProN00b> jacquesmerde, dunno, the archive bit or some crap might have been set, but i am pretty damn sure you can't chmod there
[03:02] <FYI> I did "updatedb" and then tried to "locate" the name of it
[03:02] <dooglus> I have linux-image-generic, but it doesn't seem to notice both cores
[03:02] <HymnToLife> dooglus, the "generic" kernel does
[03:02] <lnx^_> is anyone aware of any fonts very similar to Book Antiqua in linux?
[03:02] <arias> anyone who is good at fixing with dual screens ?
[03:02] <jrib> Navyseal: kino is one
[03:02] <Navyseal> no
[03:02] <buzzy> HymnToLife, ReTyPe  yes i know, but i don't know what to write in it!!
[03:02] <lnx^_> or is there any guide for installing that font for openoffice?
[03:02] <Navyseal> jrib another
[03:02] <lnx^_> i couldn't find out how to install truetype fonts in ubuntu
[03:02] <HymnToLife> buzzy, depends on what you want to do ^^
[03:02] <dooglus> HymnToLife: I'm looking in /proc/cpuinfo and it's telling me I have 1 core
[03:02] <jacquesmerde> man, i'm 404'ing on easyubuntu's gpg thingy. this temporary?
[03:02] <lnx^_> it's a freeware ttf font so i guess it should be possible to install it somehow
[03:03] <gnu> error i/o when copying any ideas?
[03:03] <pablo> dooglus: linux-restricted modules-generic res
[03:03] <ThePub> FYI: so define "delete a custom emblam" a little more.  do you want to remove an emblem from an icon?  remove an emblem that's option, but available?
[03:03] <HymnToLife> lnx^_, installing TTFs in Linux is pretty easy, search the Wiki for it, I think you should find somethingf
[03:03] <pablo> dooglus: linux-restricted modules-common non
[03:03] <lnx^_> HymnToLife: okiedokie
[03:03] <pablo> dooglus: linux-restricted modules-2.6.17-10-generic non
[03:03] <buzzy> ok guys i have linux and windows in the same HD (partitioned) now want to configure grub so that i can choose if to boot with win or linux... HymnToLife
[03:03] <dooglus> pablo: can you pastebin the actual output?
[03:03] <dooglus> !paste
[03:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:04] <FYI> ThePub, sorry... I added an emblem thru "edit>backgrounds and emblems> add new emblem", but I used the wrong image... but now I can't delete it
[03:04] <jrib> Navyseal: apt-cache search video editor
[03:04] <pablo> dooglus: it doesnt has internet
[03:04] <HymnToLife> buzzy, doesn't it give you the choice by default ?
[03:04] <daviey> I want xscreensaver to excute a shell script when it activates and exits.  Without writing my own screensaver... how could i do it?
[03:05] <dooglus> pablo: maybe you can find a cable somewhere?
[03:05] <nzhomie> can anybody help me with wifi and wpa ?
[03:05] <dooglus> nzhomie: what's the problem?
[03:05] <buzzy> HymnToLife, i have configured it wrongly
[03:05] <nzhomie> well i have wpa_supplicant installed and i am not sure wher to go from there
[03:05] <nzhomie> any links to help me out
[03:06] <andrea> Is there any way to record keystrokes in X-Window if no keylogger is installed, but X session is not over yet?
[03:06] <andrea> or to recover keystrokes better....
[03:06] <dooglus> nzhomie: I went through this process yesterday.
[03:06] <nzhomie> yourself?
[03:06] <lnx^_> HymnToLife: didn't find anything
[03:07] <nzhomie> or for someone else?
[03:07] <dooglus> nzhomie: the end result was to edit /etc/networking/interfaces and have these 4 lines for the wireless interface:
[03:07] <dooglus> 1. iface wlan0 inet dhcp  2. wpa-ssid linksys  3. wpa-proto WPA  4. wpa-psk "mypass"
[03:07] <lnx^_> HymnToLife: i probably just suck at searching
[03:07] <HymnToLife> lnx^_, all right, hold on a sec, I'll launch a GNOME and tell you
[03:07] <dooglus> nzhomie: where 'linksys' is the ssid and 'mypass' is the password - keep the double quotes there
[03:07] <uMISTA> what does 192.168.0./24 mean
[03:08] <dooglus> uMISTA: it means you've missed a digit after the 3rd '.'?
[03:08] <buzzy> HymnToLife, i have configured it wrongly
[03:08] <buzzy> so how do i do?
[03:08] <Murchadh> uMISTA, <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <der0b> Heya folks, is there a tool for realtime monitoring of a single program's resource usage?
[03:09] <uMISTA> thkz
[03:09] <HymnToLife> buzzy, pastebin your current file as well as the output of      sudo fdisk -l    <= mark it's a lowercase L, not an uppercase i
[03:09] <nzhomie> dooglus: i have the lines auto eth0

[03:12] <lnx^_> HymnToLife: not sure if that's the 'correct' way though
[03:12] <nzhomie> dooglus: when i configured ndiswrapper i made my wireless connection wlan0
[03:12] <jacquesmerde> how do i make a chmod a+w on a directory recursive?
[03:12] <HymnToLife> lnx^_, if it works, it's all that matters
[03:12] <buzzy> HymnToLife,  it is /dev/hda1 (windows partition ) but i m not sure it is C:\ or F:\
[03:12] <lnx^_> right :P
[03:13] <HymnToLife> the XP recovery console will tell you
[03:13] <gnu> anyone knows how to solve this? error i/o when I try to copy files from a cd?
[03:13] <nzhomie> dooglus: i just ran iwconfig and my wireless connection is listed but i am not connected to any networks
[03:13] <blackflare> hi

[03:14] <HymnToLife> !hi | blackflare
[03:14] <ubotu> blackflare: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:14] <gnu> that's a backup dvd that I made when I had windows
[03:14] <blackflare> um, not a popular question im sure, but how do I properly uninstall ubuntu? I had it on a totally seperate harddrive and I reformatted it, and when I restarted recently it gave me some errors about GRUB (I have windows xp on the other disk)
[03:15] <HymnToLife> blackflare, boot from a Win XP CD, go to a recovery console and run     fixmbr
[03:15] <blackflare> oh thanks
[03:15] <ThePub> FYI: sorry, only have a single disk and I'm copying several GBs back and forth (very slow here)  :)
[03:15] <gnu> Hymn to life: that's a backup dvd that I made when I had windows
[03:16] <ThePub> FYI: if you scroll to the bottom of the emblems list there's an "erase" icon.. just drag it over the emblem in question.
[03:16] <HymnToLife> if ignu, if it works on any other disc but not on that particular one, I think it just got damaged someho
[03:16] <blackflare> I wish I could have made ubuntu work :/ I just couldnt get some things working I needed :(
[03:16] <nzhomie> but in my interfaces i have my acess point listed and my corret password but it will not connect
[03:16] <HymnToLife> w*
[03:16] <nzhomie> what did you need working ?
[03:16] <HymnToLife> blackflare, did you ask for help with it ?
[03:16] <blackflare> well
[03:16] <blackflare> I needed a tv program, I had tv time
[03:16] <nzhomie> yeah us here will help you as best as we could
[03:16] <blackflare> but it randomly stopped finding a signal
[03:17] <nzhomie> personallly i would have tried mythtv
[03:17] <blackflare> I also had problems with ventrilo
[03:17] <blackflare> I got it running in wine but it had terrible sound quality
[03:17] <nanda> hi
[03:17] <nanda> what is the fastest cd ripper available?
[03:18] <HymnToLife> nanda, cdparanoia
[03:18] <HymnToLife> with whatever frontend you want, I perosnnaly use abcde
[03:18] <nanda> HymnToLife: thnx, will check it out now
[03:18] <Narada> hi anyone got home and end keys working in ubuntu in eterm?
[03:18] <HymnToLife> !abcde
[03:18] <ubotu> abcde: A Better CD Encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (edgy), package size 103 kB, installed size 300 kB
[03:18] <blackflare> lol cute name
[03:18] <nanda> will also check out abcde
[03:19] <HymnToLife> cdparanioa is just the ripper
[03:19] <MarcN> nanda: grip is nice if you want a gui
[03:19] <HymnToLife> abcde is a tool that uses cdparanioa for ripping then other tools for encoding
[03:19] <nanda> ok
[03:19] <HymnToLife> !cdparanoia
[03:19] <ubotu> cdparanoia: An audio extraction tool for sampling CDs. In component main, is optional. Version 3a9.8-13 (edgy), package size 40 kB, installed size 116 kB
[03:19] <MarcN> nanda: same for grip.  It is the UNIX way -- use bunch of little tools to get the job done.
[03:19] <nanda> so cdparanoia will just give wav files?
[03:20] <nanda> then I can use lame or something?
[03:20] <HymnToLife> just use abcde
[03:20] <mulander[ubuntu] > hi all.
[03:20] <HymnToLife> it will do all of it for you and give you nice OGG
[03:20] <nanda> ok
[03:20] <HymnToLife> or MP3 if you don't like freedom ;)
[03:20] <nanda> lol
[03:20] <nanda> unfortunatly I have an ipod
[03:20] <foxy123> Trevinho
[03:20] <nanda> so gotta go the mp3 route for now
[03:21] <nothlit> People want the fastest ripper rather than the most accurate?
[03:21] <mulander[ubuntu] > 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High  Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) <-- I have some trouble with this card, installing ubuntu edgy eft for my friend - we have no sound - could anyone help specyfy what could possibly cause the problems whe are having?

[03:22] <Razdaman> HymnToLife> thanks.. will check it out

[03:24] <HymnToLife> USB keyboard ?
[03:24] <blackflare> yes
[03:24] <HymnToLife> get a PS/2
[03:24] <maniacxs> Hi there, I am searching on a (k)ubuntu the drop_caches switch. This should not be a kernel config option. i am not able to find it in /proc/sys/vm/
[03:24] <gtapsycho> or maybe a driver
[03:25] <eyalw> Hi, im looking for a visual html editor, is there a good open source one for ubuntu?
[03:25] <nothlit> !nvu | eyalw
[03:25] <nanda> eyalw: try quanta+
[03:25] <ubotu> nvu: Complete Web Authoring System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0final-2ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 8373 kB, installed size 26448 kB
[03:25] <stefg> cough... closest thing to Frontpage would be nvu ....
[03:26] <nanda> don't know why you would want anything close to frontpage..
[03:26] <xipietotec> is there a linux version of arachnophilia?
[03:26] <nanda> that thing is a pos
[03:26] <maniacxs> eyalw: quanta+ is not a wysiwyg editor.
[03:26] <s-toned> I didn't get dapper to work with my Matrox G550DH (only vesa, no xinerama). So I installed breezy again. Is my only option to switch to nvidia to get a working xinerama installation? (Acceleration would be better anyway.)
[03:27] <HymnToLife> if you have a MAtrox, I doubt nvidia drivers will work...
[03:27] <Igor_V2> anybody knows a good video player for Ubuntu?
[03:28] <HymnToLife> Xine
[03:28] <Igor_V2> xine?
[03:28] <HymnToLife> with whatever frontend you want, I personnaly use Kaffeine
[03:28] <puk_jp> vlc
[03:28] <Igor_V2> how i install all the plugins for kafeine?
[03:28] <Carolinamusicman> MPlayer is another good video player
[03:29] <HymnToLife> you might want to use gxine or totem as a frontend for xine if you're in GNOME
[03:29] <blackflare> woo, fixing the boot record worked, thanks hymn
[03:29] <daviey> Is there a way i can play a video/dvd as a screensaver?
[03:29] <blackflare> while Im on the subject though, how do I get my computer to recognize a usb keyboard preboot?
[03:30] <nothlit> daviey, lol I know how to do it as a background with xgl/aiglx
[03:30] <Igor_V2> thanks guys....i've never used totem...i'll try it
[03:30] <HymnToLife> blackflare,  no idea, I stay as far away of those as I can
[03:30] <nothlit> totem-xine is much nicer than totem-gstreamer
[03:31] <HymnToLife> Igor_V2, be sure to have totem-xine and not totem-gstreamer
[03:31] <daviey> nothlit, hmm.  i have a fullscreen app running most of the time - so that might not work.  Thanks anyway.  Is there a way to load mplayer as part of the screensaver

[03:39] <ThePub> nzhomie: I'm just guessing, but maybe it's part of the "ifplugd" package.  If you've installed it already and it's not there, then why'd you remove it? :)
[03:39] <john76> why would you use a visual editor in linux? if your on linux don't you know better
[03:40] <biotrox> nzhomie is there an msn messenger for ubuntu..?
[03:40] <eyalw> rapid: i did checked it out, but it source editing, not cisual editing
[03:40] <john76> they produce horrid looking code
[03:40] <Igor_V2>  anybody knows the command to get plugins for totem
[03:40] <FYI> Anyone know how to delete emblems added through "Backgrounds and Emblems"
[03:40] <genix> what is the difference beterrn "newest version" and "long-term support"?

[03:40] <nzhomie> the pub : i am trying to configure wpa_supplicant and it is not working there is a command that i type into terminal and it says invalid
[03:41] <Igor_V2>  anybody knows the command to get plugins for totem???
[03:41] <ThePub> rizhun: don't unpack it, just drag the archive to themes :)
[03:41] <nzhomie> biotrox

[03:41] <genix> what is the difference beterrn "newest version" and "long-term support"?
[03:41] <kauef> hello
[03:41] <HymnToLife> Igor_V2, libxine-extracodecs will already give you lots of stuff I think
[03:41] <ThePub> biotrox: "gaim" in the "internet" folder under applications doesn't work for you?
[03:41] <dooglus> genix: long-term support is supported longer...
[03:41] <kauef> Plix i wanna know one thing someone can help me?
[03:42] <dooglus> genix: the newest version is newer
[03:42] <genix> what does this mean?
[03:42] <genix> supported longer?
[03:42] <Igor_V2> ok
[03:42] <Igor_V2> ill try....thanks
[03:42] <HymnToLife> means it will get security updates for a longer period
[03:42] <kauef> someone have Gaim!?
[03:42] <dooglus> genix: security fixes and such like will be released for longer
[03:42] <rizhun> ThePub, if i chose the .tar file, or drag and drop it onto themes, it just says 'invalid file format'
[03:42] <nzhomie> aMSN is conpatible with ubuntu i have it running on my laptop you can either google it or download a program called automatix which is like apt and you can get aMSN from there too

[03:43] <genix> is it different with ubuntu?
[03:43] <nzhomie> huh?
[03:43] <ThePub> biotrox: you asked for an msn client.  gaim is an IM client that handles multiple protocols, including MSN.  It's very stable too.  :)
[03:43] <HymnToLife> genix, go to #debian then :)
[03:44] <FYI> ThePub: the erase icon is used to remove emblems from a file/folder... it's not used to remove the emblems from your system itself :-/
[03:44] <erchache> i have a sun fire v65x with ubuntu
[03:44] <erchache> and a hard disk has yellow led
[03:44] <genix> thats why i asking... if its better with ubuntu then i switch to ubuntu :)
[03:44] <ThePub> rizhun: where'd you get the theme?  I've never had an issue with a properly packaged archive just dragging the file onto the themes list.  Gnome has a standard theme package format.
[03:44] <erchache> i have smartmontools installed and running
[03:44] <erchache> is it secure? or need to change hard disk?
[03:44] <rizhun> I got the theme from gnome-look.org
[03:44] <HymnToLife> genix, are you happy with DEbian ? If so, there's no reason to switch
[03:44] <biotrox> thepub, yes thanks i'm using gaim right now.. but that's not the Question. the question is what messenger s/w in ubuntu that webcam enable
[03:44] <ThePub> rizhun: you don't unpack anything for a theme.  download the archive and add it to themes by dragging onto the window.
[03:45] <biotrox> nzhomie amsn is a 15.2MB package :(
[03:45] <biotrox> can't download it
[03:45] <biotrox> to big
[03:45] <rizhun> mmm
[03:45] <nzhomie> bandwith?
[03:45] <HymnToLife> !amsn
[03:45] <ubotu> amsn: An MSN messenger written in tcl. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.95-2.1 (edgy), package size 2261 kB, installed size 7752 kB
[03:45] <nzhomie> wb gaim ?
[03:45] <HymnToLife> methinks amsn is 2.2 MiB, not 15
[03:45] <ThePub> rizhun: if this theme you've downloaded does not do that, then you'll ahve to repackage it yourself :)
[03:45] <DarthLappy> HymnToLife: TCL?
[03:45] <ThePub> rizhun: there's also a ".themes" folder in your home directory
[03:45] <biotrox> amsn ++ lib etc etc
[03:46] <HymnToLife> DarthLappy, I beg your pardon ?
[03:46] <aberry> heya, anyone know anything about ubuntu live cd having problems with an x800 graphics card? :S
[03:46] <nzhomie> genix : i am a beginner to linux i have tried, pclinuxos, xfce, opensuse, fedora. and from my view ubuntu is the best distro avalible
[03:46] <rizhun> ThePub, what is that .themes folder all about?
[03:46] <DarthLappy> HymnToLife: aMSN: Written in tcl. Gotta dowload tcl for aMSN then. :P
[03:46] <erchache> aberry: use vesa and download lastest module kernel
[03:46] <HymnToLife> oh, didn't know that
[03:47] <aberry> erchache, surely you have to be able to boot ubuntu to do that?
[03:47] <biotrox> genis | yes ubuntu is the best, I also tried mandriva, suse, centos, red hat, fedora, knoppix
[03:47] <DarthLappy> I should be asleep, anyway...
[03:47] <erchache> yeah
[03:47] <nzhomie> i have 40gb to download between midnight and midday. hmm what apps do i need
[03:47] <nzhomie> ????
[03:47] <ThePub> rizhun: it's where custom themes get installed when you drag them to the themes window
[03:47] <nzhomie> Darth lappy : ME 2
[03:47] <erchache> aberry: quit splash of grub boot line
[03:47] <ThePub> rizhun: you won't have one if you haven't installed any themes before (by default)
[03:48] <biotrox> nzhomie beside amsn.. can't you tell other application for yahoo that support webcam enable..?
[03:48] <_CoutinhoBR> chanserv list #*fr*
[03:48] <aberry> well I know about the optimized kernels and all that, it's just that when I stick the cd in and let it boot up in to live cd mode, whether it's on safe graphics or not, it will get most of the way there, then the screen will go funny looking, a dodgy green line cuts across the screen and it doesnt go any further than that
[03:48] <HymnToLife> biotrox, I know Kopete does but it's more a KDE app
[03:48] <HymnToLife> will work just fine in GNOME though
[03:48] <wildchild> hello there is in edgy any package similar to aida32 (I wanna se what hardware I have on conputer...)
[03:48] <aberry> I know it's still responding, however, because when I go to turn it off it will still send all the halt commands and turn of the pc properly
[03:48] <biotrox> mmmm
[03:48] <HymnToLife> but will require a bunch of extra libs
[03:48] <erchache> aberry: all my video problems was solved deleting splash from grub boot line
[03:49] <ThePub> biotrox: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#vv
[03:49] <aberry> erchache how do you do that?
[03:49] <erchache> on boot time
[03:49] <ThePub> biotrox: you'll need to look for an alternative for the msn protocol if you must have video :(
[03:49] <erchache> push e and edit line
[03:49] <nzhomie> yahoo or msn ?
[03:49] <erchache> do you have a pci-e graphic card or agp?
[03:49] <biotrox> need yahoo more than msn
[03:49] <biotrox> both is better
[03:50] <aberry> erchache: so allow it to boot on to live cd then press e? I have pci-e 16
[03:50] <erchache> if is pci-e perhaps your motherboard are unsupported yet
[03:50] <erchache> in this case get server install cd with is on command line mode
[03:50] <erchache> make your own kernel
[03:50] <aberry> erchache: really? it's about two years old and other more basic distros run on it
[03:50] <erchache> and install X system
[03:51] <erchache> i need to do that on a intel core duo with pci-e machine
[03:51] <aberry> erchache: well I have no Idea how to write my own kernel so Ill try your e idea
[03:51] <erchache> did you install propietary kernel modules?
[03:52] <erchache> for video cards
[03:52] <biotrox> so i must use gaim-w if i want to use video chat
[03:52] <biotrox> mmmm
[03:52] <aberry> erchache:  I havnt got that far yet, it wont let me boot the live cd
[03:53] <erchache> aberry: you need server install cd
[03:53] <erchache> it dont need graphics enviroment
[03:53] <aberry> erchache: you mean on the other distros? well I installed the optimised distro kernels and the proprietary graphics drivers, but it worked without them until I did
[03:53] <nzhomie> wow 902 users
[03:53] <wildchild> ..3
[03:53] <erchache> no no you can do with ubuntu for servers
[03:53] <nzhomie> biotrox : whats so bad about gaim ?
[03:54] <HymnToLife> nzhomie, it has no K in it :p
[03:54] <biotrox> nzhomie gaim is not bad, acctually it's a very good messenger
[03:54] <aberry> erchace: whats the difference between the server and the desktop version, bar the command line startup? is it a heavier OS?
[03:54] <biotrox> i like gaim better than kopete
[03:54] <biotrox> but need to make webcam works for yahoo and messenger
[03:55] <biotrox> msn i mean
[03:55] <HymnToLife> aberry, the DEsktop is what you tried, the installable Live CD. The Ser'ver just installs a very basic system and thel lets you install whatever you want
[03:55] <nzhomie> hymn to life : it has no k in it ???
[03:55] <HymnToLife> between them there is the Alternate, same as the Desktop but the installer is text-based
[03:55] <nzhomie> does it not support webcam ?
[03:55] <HymnToLife> so it's less pretty but also far less likely to fail on you, I suggest you try this :)
[03:56] <aberry> hymntolife: is there anyway of starting the desktop version without x? I'd rather not have to completely install the distro from scratch
[03:56] <erchache> aberry:
[03:56] <erchache> yeah....you have two ways
[03:56] <nzhomie> if off to bed guys
[03:56] <biotrox> nzhomie gaim doesn't support webcam :(
[03:56] <nzhomie> ouch
[03:56] <nzhomie> u sure aMSN is 22mb?
[03:56] <HymnToLife> aberry, boot in recovery mode and edit your X config file to use the vesa driver
[03:56] <erchache> 1- more easy....wait until livecd gets your video card.....very lame
[03:57] <aberry> yes but surely when I do that it will forget the changes when I reboot
[03:57] <nzhomie> GOODNIGHT !
[03:57] <erchache> 2- more funny...install server mode ubuntu....compile your own code.....install X.org
[03:57] <HymnToLife> nzhomie, amsn itself is 2.2 MiB
[03:57] <biotrox> amsn is 15MB with a lot of ++ of libs
[03:57] <HymnToLife> but it is written in Tcl so you'll need to download the Tcl interpreter to run amsn
[03:57] <aberry> if recovery mode is the same as basic graphics mode I have already tried, and it does the same thing
[03:57] <HymnToLife> which is significantly bigger
[03:57] <erchache> the cool guys gets way 2 :-D
[03:57] <biotrox> 2MB if amsn only
[03:58] <HymnToLife> aberry, nope, the recovery mode is comand line only
[03:58] <erchache> aberry if you want i can pass a list of packages needed to compile your own kernel
[03:58] <erchache> its more easy than you know
[03:58] <aberry> hymntolife: how to I start it in recovery mode from the live cd? and do I need to use a usb stick to remember boto settings?
[03:59] <aberry> erchache, really?
[03:59] <erchache> all people afraid with kernel panics...but....with little experience you can solve it
[03:59] <HymnToLife> aberry, does the Live CD in "safe graphics" work ?
[03:59] <HymnToLife> if so, it will be a bit more easy
[03:59] <aberry> hymntolife, no, it does the same as it does otherwise
[03:59] <erchache> i get kernel panic a lot! but....i get a lot of experience with this
[03:59] <HymnToLife> all right so forget the Live CD
[03:59] <littlesniper> hello I wanted to install ubuntu on two machines
[03:59] <HymnToLife> boot your Ubuntu from your HD in recovery mode
[03:59] <littlesniper> on the first one no problem
[04:00] <erchache> if you want to learn ubuntu/linux sysadmin....you MUST to learn to compile your own personalized kernel
[04:00] <aberry> I cant, it isnt installed yet :S
[04:00] <quad3datwork2> anyone messed with ZoneCD before? i'm wondering if there is a lighter solution, any suggestions are appreciated
[04:00] <HymnToLife> aberry, oh right
[04:00] <HymnToLife> get an Alternate CD then :)
[04:00] <littlesniper> on the second one I get back to the login every 10 secondes or so when trying to do the installation
[04:00] <erchache> step 1- install ubuntu edgy for servers
[04:00] <aberry> erchache, could I do that on another distro?
[04:00] <aberry> oh ok
[04:00] <erchache> step 2- configure your network card
[04:00] <littlesniper> the ubuntu installation is going crazy on this computer, any idea ?
[04:01] <erchache> step 3- modify /etc/apt/sources.list for get packages from internet
[04:01] <erchache> step 4 - upgrade your system
[04:01] <erchache> step 5 - install all packages needed for compile kernel
[04:01] <erchache> step 6 (more tedious) - make your own kernel without kernel panics
[04:01] <littlesniper> hmmmm

[04:04] <DaDiablo> I have the following problem: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Anyone know what i have to do?
[04:04] <HymnToLife> DaDiablo, use another one :)
[04:04] <aberry> erchache, that sounds simple in like six sentences but I don't think I have enough knowledge to do it :p especially since my network card is wifi so I need ndiswrapper and I have NO idea how that would work in command line :p
[04:04] <HymnToLife> I assume you get that when trying to play something in mplayer
[04:05] <DaDiablo> yes
[04:05] <erchache> ubotu: these graphic card is pci-e is a motherboard chipset problem
[04:05] <Pelo> I need someone to look up a link in the alacarte menu editor for me,  I was enabling something but I fucked up and deleted it instead,  I need the proper command

[04:05] <jrib> Pelo: what command?
[04:06] <erchache> step 7 - if you gets a stable kernel for your system....take a beer for your good work :-D
[04:06] <frogzoo> Pelo: which?
[04:06] <aberry> hymntolife, you mean ther server one?
[04:06] <HymnToLife> no
[04:06] <HymnToLife> the Alternate
[04:06] <Pelo> jrib,  the comman for the OO  model thingy , it is not enabled by default
[04:06] <erchache> step 8 - install X.org and additionals packages
[04:06] <buzzy> sorry people can you say me if i have set well my grub? I would like to be able to boot windows partition. i have pasted fdisk -l and menu.lst content: http://rafb.net/paste/results/mSEqJT58.html
[04:06] <buzzy> HymnToLife,
[04:06] <HymnToLife> there are three CDs, DEsktop, Alternate and Server
[04:06] <aberry> ok, ill take a look at that
[04:06] <erchache> aberry: get server install cd
[04:06] <erchache> server is like livecd but without X system
[04:07] <garoto> que haces??
[04:07] <jrib> Pelo: I have nothing with the word "model" in the office menu (in alacarte)
[04:07] <jrib> !es | garoto
[04:07] <ubotu> garoto: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[04:07] <aberry> I know kde works on another distro, should I try the kubuntu live cd or do you think I would get the same problems
[04:07] <buzzy> HymnToLife,  can you help me please?
[04:08] <Pelo> jrib,  might be template,    new Open office doc from template or something
[04:08] <HymnToLife> aberry, you will get exactly the same
[04:08] <erchache> aberry: you have same problem
[04:08] <jrib> Pelo: oofromtemplate %U    is the command
[04:08] <HymnToLife> it has nothing to do with GNOME or KDE
[04:08] <erchache> you need to upgrade your kernel to get pci-e support
[04:08] <Pelo> jrib,  thanks
[04:08] <HymnToLife> !ask | buzzy
[04:08] <ubotu> buzzy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:08] <garoto> te luce el verde
[04:08] <erchache> and with this you can get video card support
[04:08] <aberry> hymntolife & erchache: ok, I can see the server but not th alternate on the site
[04:08] <HymnToLife> hmm
[04:08] <erchache> get server
[04:09] <erchache> and follow my steps
[04:09] <ValMarko> Hi there :) sudo -i gives me permanent permission to the terminal. What command should I typo to have permission to all the task of the system ?
[04:09] <aberry> erchache, if I didnt get this would it mean I might have problems running 3d apps?
[04:09] <Criss> hola leooooooooooooo
[04:09] <erchache> no...you cant use X
[04:09] <buzzy> HymnToLife,  i wrote this:
[04:09] <aberry> erchache, I meant after x is installed
[04:09] <buzzy> sorry people can you say me if i have set well my grub? I would like to be able to boot windows partition. i have pasted fdisk -l and menu.lst content: http://rafb.net/paste/results/mSEqJT58.html
[04:09] <leoely> hola
[04:09] <erchache> ahh no
[04:10] <erchache> you can get all opengl functionalities
[04:10] <Criss> nou spanish
[04:10] <erchache> dejad de dar la vara
[04:10] <erchache> usad ubuntu-es
[04:10] <HymnToLife> buzzy, yep, that will work
[04:10] <aberry> erchahe, only asking because I have had problems with it on another distro :p
[04:10] <garoto> como estan ustedes  los de fundacite
[04:10] <buzzy> ok hybrid  that says me: NTLDR is missing :S
[04:10] <erchache> this isnt important
[04:10] <aberry> erchache it sounds all good and well but I have a feeling it's a little out of my league, Im sure theres more to it than what you just said
[04:11] <HymnToLife> buzzy, did you fixboot c: in Win XP recovery console as I told you ?
[04:11] <erchache> aberry: its a normal problem...because pci-e support are very newer
[04:11] <erchache> dont get afraid for this
[04:11] <erchache> with little patiente and luck you can solve it
[04:11] <erchache> what chipset do you have intel?
[04:12] <erchache> is a intel core duo or amd machine?
[04:12] <buzzy> HymnToLife,  i have windows 2k and i tried it but it fails!! :S
[04:12] <aberry> erchache, I imagine it'd be possible but if I screw it up it would be insanely difficult to understand my mistakes
[04:12] <buzzy> what to do?
[04:12] <rapid> core duo
[04:12] <aberry> it's a via chipset, amd 3800+
[04:12] <rapid> could be amd I guess
[04:12] <stefg> buzzy: The section in /boot/grub/menu.lst is correct (only the comment is wrong). So you reinstalled windows and lost grub from the MBR... see !grub for help
[04:12] <HymnToLife> buzzy, sorry, can't help you with 2k
[04:12] <erchache> ahh dont worry
[04:13] <erchache> with make menuconfig you have a ncurses menu
[04:13] <erchache> very easy to configure
[04:13] <aberry> lol :p no offence erchache but I've never done it before, and other than eight sentences I wouldnt know how
[04:13] <erchache> a first time was ever! :-D
[04:13] <aberry> for a start how would I configure a wifi card without x?
[04:14] <HymnToLife> aberry, try the Alternate...
[04:14] <aberry> and I have already tried, and failed, to find proper drivers
[04:14] <stefg> sudo vim /etc/network interfaces
[04:14] <erchache> yeah
[04:14] <aberry> hymntolife where is it?
[04:14] <HymnToLife> same place you got your Desktop CD from most likely
[04:14] <HymnToLife> it it isn't there, try another mirror
[04:15] <aberry> it isn't anywhere obvious on the ubuntu website :S
[04:15] <aberry> ok
[04:15] <fenrig> can sombody help me
[04:15] <erchache> aberry: did you try with alternate? i dont see it before...
[04:15] <stefg> !ask
[04:15] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:15] <aberry> erchache, no I ididnt
[04:15] <erchache> hymmtolife: thanks for your advice ;-)
[04:15] <erchache> hymntolife
[04:16] <ValMarko> I want to install seamonkey but I dont have all the permissions to write files to a givem directory.  What command should I type to have all the permissions ?
[04:16] <erchache> The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:
[04:16] <erchache>     * creating pre-configured OEM systems;
[04:16] <erchache>     * setting up automated deployments;
[04:16] <erchache>     * upgrading from older installations without network access;
[04:16] <erchache>     * LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
[04:16] <erchache>     * installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;
[04:16] <erchache>     * installs on systems with less than about 192MB of RAM.
[04:16] <aberry> ok I have a fair few, would you reccomend 64 bit
[04:16] <aberry> and before Im asked a silly question, I do have a 64 bit processor :p

[04:16] <kanzie> I have just installed Edgy on my IBM Thinkpad T60 that is equipped with ATI graphics. Which driver should I use?
[04:17] <aberry> kanzie, get proprietary from ati.com
[04:17] <erchache> aberry: http://mirror.lupaworld.com/ubuntu/releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-amd64.iso
[04:17] <erchache> use that
[04:17] <aberry> erchache, cheers
[04:17] <protocol1> how do I extract a .gz file?
[04:17] <protocol1> example?
[04:17] <erchache> tar zxfv file.gfz
[04:17] <DaDiablo> I have the following problem: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Anyone know what i have to do?
[04:17] <kanzie> aberry, When I last installed Beryl on this machine (running Dapper) I was encouraged to use unofficial drivers
[04:17] <ValMarko> Is Pentium 4 a 64 bits processor?
[04:17] <HymnToLife> protocol1, tar.gz or somethingelse.gz ?
[04:18] <HymnToLife> ValMarko, no
[04:18] <erchache> valmarko: you need to see emt64 at boot to get a intel pentium 4 64 bits
[04:18] <frogzoo> ValMarko: 32
[04:18] <syock> why is it that everytime people teach the usage of tar they use all those flags?
[04:18] <protocol1> HymnToLife, somethingelse.gz
[04:18] <HymnToLife> protocol1, gunzip
[04:18] <ValMarko> tanks
[04:18] <protocol1> ok
[04:18] <frogzoo> syock: man tar
[04:18] <aberry> kanzie, it is good to support GNU but, realistically, the proprietary drivers are better, if only because ati, dont let people know how their cards work properly
[04:19] <ValMarko> What processor from intel is a 64 bit
[04:19] <DaDiablo> I have the following problem: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Anyone know what i have to do?
[04:19] <kanzie> Should I install anything extra to the kernel to get support for DualCore?
[04:19] <erchache> intel core duo
[04:19] <kanzie> aberry, True true...
[04:19] <frogzoo> kanzie: beryl is only supported for the open source driver - not ati
[04:19] <aberry> kanzie, there are dual core kernels
[04:19] <erchache> kanzie: use amd64 ubuntu version
[04:19] <HymnToLife> kanzie, in Edgy, no, in DApper : linux-686-smp
[04:19] <sysrage> syock: habbit.. i always use zxpvf.. why do i use p or v? cause that's the first way i was ever tought.. no i dont need them :)
[04:19] <ValMarko> beryl is very nice. I just installed it yesterday
[04:20] <HymnToLife> erchache, and for 32 bit dual cores ?
[04:20] <erchache> ubuntu normal
[04:20] <erchache> and get smp kernel from apt
[04:20] <kanzie> HymnToLife, Im running Edgy since an hour ago, so no fiddeling around to get both cores up and running?
[04:20] <biotrox> !gyach
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gyach - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <frogzoo> ValMarko: are you running the fglrx driver ?
[04:20] <biotrox> !gayachi
[04:20] <HymnToLife> kanzie, nope
[04:20] <erchache> more /proc/cpuinfo
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gayachi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <HymnToLife> you can check it by running   cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:20] <aberry> kanzie, open uo synaptic and type in kernel
[04:20] <erchache> with this see number of cpu cores
[04:20] <HymnToLife> you'll see the two cores are recognized
[04:20] <ValMarko> I'm using the open source driver that comes with edgy
[04:21] <aberry> at least in other distros it should have a list of newer and modified kernels or kernel headers that are specific to certain types of machines
[04:21] <kanzie> frogzoo, Will I have any problems with beryl if I use the driver from ATI.com?
[04:21] <cpk1> i am trying to use debuild but it is stopping due to debian/rules? anyone able to help?
[04:21] <HymnToLife> aberry, Ubuntu used to have different kernels too but in Edgy they merged lots of them in the "generic" kernel
[04:22] <aberry> kanzie, no it just means that you supposedly aren't entitled to support, you can always switch back and ask :p
[04:22] <erchache> aberry yeah like gentoo
[04:22] <protocol1> how do I run an executable file in console?
[04:23] <aberry> hymtolife and erchache oh right, Ive been using PClinuxOS, basically mandriva, and it has a whole list which do actually work alot better than the original "generic" kernel
[04:23] <Pelo> protocol1,  just type the name of the file in
[04:23] <ValMarko> I'm not an expert but... if you have edgy you wont need  to make any replacement for the driver. The system comes already with an open source driver for ati. As I said, I just installed Beryl yesterday and everything works fine
[04:23] <datil> hi
[04:23] <erchache> ./executablefile
[04:24] <buzzy> guys i booted linux with printer switched off, now i need to print but it is not mounted ...what is the correct way to print? (a webpage from firefox)
[04:24] <HymnToLife> !hi | datil
[04:24] <ubotu> datil: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:24] <datil> is 6.10 release actually working with Core 2 Duo motherboards?
[04:24] <aberry> erchache, im gonna find another distro, it's downloading at 4kbs :S
[04:24] <erchache> use bittorrent
[04:24] <erchache> and wait
[04:24] <erchache> datil: yes with amd64 ubuntu distro
[04:25] <datil> erchache, why with the amd64?
[04:25] <HymnToLife> 32 bits will work fine too
[04:25] <erchache> because has 64 bits
[04:25] <stefg> !cups | buzzy
[04:25] <ubotu> buzzy: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[04:25] <truz_`24> how do you bring up the processes screen?
[04:25] <datil> i heard that standard i386 had problems with JMicron controller and probably ICH8
[04:25] <HymnToLife> datil, if you want 64 bits support, which has little to no use atm
[04:25] <datil> optical drive not being detected, etc
[04:25] <truz_`24> I thought it was ctrl+alt+p
[04:25] <stefros> hallo
[04:25] <aberry> erchache, dont worry bittorrent is fast but the UK mirrors are serving me at like 300kbs so theres no point :p
[04:25] <datil> no, not really looking for 64bits
[04:25] <erchache> ubuntu amd64 has support for opteron, amd64 and emt64
[04:25] <erchache> emt64 is intel core duo
[04:26] <datil> talking about the JMicron / ICH8 problem with 6.10, i'm not sure if it's fixed with the lattest daily build
[04:26] <HymnToLife> aberry, try another mirror
[04:26] <ValMarko> Well, I know the system is not using all the potencial of my graphics card but I prefer it working well instead of exploring unknown fields and destroy the castle I builted
[04:26] <datil> which seems being the 25th October
[04:26] <truz_`24> The system monitor, no pre-defined shortcut for it?
[04:26] <stefros> I am having trouble activating my PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI
[04:26] <aberry> hymntolife Ive found a decent enough one, thanks
[04:26] <stefros> under Ubuntu 6.06
[04:26] <xamox> I am trying to do SSH shared public keys, I have given the public key to the server, but when I triy to connect it keeps saying that the server is not on my known_host list, what do I need to do?
[04:26] <kanzie> how on earth can I find out what card is in my laptop to get the right drivers from ati.com?
[04:26] <erchache> stefros: use goolge and sear before please
[04:26] <egenesis> hola
[04:26] <stefros> also my Radio switches
[04:27] <egenesis> alguien entendido en kdevelop???
[04:27] <HymnToLife> kanzie, lspci -n
[04:27] <HymnToLife> !es | egenesis
[04:27] <ubotu> egenesis: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[04:27] <stefros> I have used google but some problems
[04:27] <stefros> I am new to Linux
[04:27] <egenesis> ok
[04:27] <erchache> xamox: cat your_server_key >> /userhome/.ssh/autorized_keys2
[04:27] <aberry> stefros, if you are just having trouble with the card then try installing NDISwrapper and using the windows drivers
[04:28] <aberry> ndiswrapper is for wifi, it works by "wrapping" windows drivers so they work in linux
[04:28] <stefros> is it difficult to install it ?
[04:28] <HymnToLife> not much but what card do you have ?
[04:28] <aberry> stefros not at all, on my second day of using linux I figured it out :p
[04:28] <kanzie> HymnToLife, mohaha, that just gave me a list of numbers, if I had that matrix-vision I might be able to work something out...
[04:28] <erchache> well i need to back to my real job
[04:28] <erchache> bye!
[04:28] <ValMarko> My system is configured to agp mode=1. How can I change to a higher one? should I ?
[04:28] <stefros> but there is another problems due to the wireless card
[04:28] <aberry> bye ercache, cheers for the help
[04:28] <stefros> I also have radio switches
[04:28] <ValMarko> system= ubuntu
[04:29] <erchache> you are welcome
[04:29] <aberry> stefros, radio switches?
[04:29] <HymnToLife> kanzie, my mistake, drop the -n :p
[04:29] <DaDiablo> I have the following problem: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Anyone know what i have to do?
[04:29] <stefros> buttons for activating my wlan card
[04:29] <erchache> if you get your machine run with ubuntu its the best reward! :-D
[04:29] <stefros> i am using amilo m 7400 laptop
[04:29] <erchache> DIE windows!
[04:29] <erchache> bye...
[04:29] <aberry> stefros, I don't know if theres any way around that, hopefully they're hardware driven though I doubt it
[04:30] <daviey> Anybody know how to make VLC work onroot
[04:30] <aberry> if they are software driven, bar writing your own drivers or checking the manufactures website for linux drivers, I dont think youll have much luck, but you never know ndiswrapper might sort that out too
[04:30] <aberry> I highly doubt it though
[04:30] <HymnToLife> VLC on root ?
[04:30] <shinda> Hey was wondering if someone could help me with curlftpfs
[04:30] <HymnToLife> that sounds like a bad idea to me
[04:30] <HymnToLife> !anyone | shinda
[04:30] <ubotu> shinda: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:30] <daviey> HymnToLife, paint to root
[04:30] <kanzie> HymnToLife, hmm... I think something is wrong. My graphics-card sure is not installed (lagging windows and such, can only set resolution to 1024 etc.) and lspci gave me: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7149
[04:31] <stefros> Okay, I am going to check this out
[04:31] <stefros> thx
[04:31] <HymnToLife> !ati | kanzie
[04:31] <ubotu> kanzie: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:31] <aberry> no prob
[04:31] <HymnToLife> ttry these instead of the drivers from ati.com
[04:31] <psyoptik> random question....I want to upgrade my dapper box to edgy but I was wondering whether edgy is stable enough for everysay desktop use (ie. low chance of breakage)?
[04:32] <shinda> I'm trying to mount an ftp folder using curlftpfs, Problem I'm getting is when I mount a folder I have to switch into root, I've tried setting the group/user id so that my normal login can get access to the folder but I always get permission denied when I try to access the folder after exiting root and ideas?
[04:33] <aberry> kanzie try the proprietary drivers, I had the same problem using either vesa or radeon fbdev drivers and original kernel
[04:33] <aberry> you cant do anything about the kernel but get the drivers, it helped in my case, and my graphics card is just plain awkward!
[04:33] <psyoptik> is it a stupid question to ask whether the current version of edgy is stable for everyday use?
[04:34] <aberry> psyoptik, it is stable enough I think, you just have to look at it this way, even if it has got glitches it CANT be as bad as windows :p
[04:35] <aberry> but if you're worried download the older distro with the longer guaranteed support
[04:35] <datil> is it stable/safe to use daily (current) builds of 7.4 release?
[04:35] <apokryphos> !feisty
[04:35] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[04:36] <dreamer> how can I set THunderbird as my default mail-client?
[04:36] <psyoptik> aberry, this is very true.
[04:36] <dreamer> right now everything is opened by evolution, but I don't want that
[04:36] <aberry> hehe
[04:36] <G4BR13L> g
[04:36] <datil> apokryphos, i say it cause some of my hardware isn't supported in 6.10
[04:37] <apokryphos> datil: help in #ubuntu+1
[04:37] <biotrox> how to forge ubuntu to be a faster OS
[04:37] <aberry> anyway Id best be off for now, cheers everyone for your help
[04:37] <kavit>  this ----> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37006/   is causing HAL/DBUS to not load/recognise my DVD RAM drive... any ideas?
[04:39] <shinda> any got any ideas about my curlftpfs problem? Basically what I'm doing to mount the folder is swtiching into root then curlftpfs -u user="user:pass",gid=1000 ftp.url.com folder/
[04:39] <shinda> but once i exit root I can't access folder
[04:39] <besucher> Heyho Mikelo
[04:39] <dreamer> how can I remove/disable evolution? in Synaptic it says ubuntu-desktop will also be removed, I just want to disable evolution so that when I clkick on a<EMAIL_ADDRESS>link it will open in thunderbird
[04:40] <HeathenDan> you can set thunderbird to be your default client
[04:41] <nothlit> dreamer, system -> preferences -> preferred applications
[04:41] <Samuli^> dreamer, ubuntu-desktop it just a meta-package, nothing as itself it just depends on a whole lot of stuff so that when you install package ubuntu-desktop you will get the needed packages.
[04:41] <dreamer> nothlit: sorry, I am in KDE
[04:41] <Samuli^> so no harm done removing ubuntu-desktop
[04:41] <dreamer> ok :)
[04:41] <nothlit> dreamer, so you're using kubuntu-desktop?
[04:41] <dreamer> I guess ?
[04:42] <dreamer> I installed the default dapper ubuntu install (not kubuntu(, but installed kde later
[04:43] <DFM> I need some help with grub.
[04:43] <dreamer> I will remove evolution with synaptic
[04:44] <DFM> I have reinstalled ubuntu and now my brub version is 0.97 instead of 1.5
[04:45] <DFM> when I boot it doesn't highlight anything so it's hard to know which kernel or OS you are selecting
[04:45] <ericmoritz\0> eek, my swap has stopped working
[04:45] <erUSUL> DFM: there is no grub 1.5 afaik 0.97 is default version (maybe you see loading stage 1.5 on boot and assumed it was the grub version but it is not)
[04:45] <DFM> Where do I need to look to learn how to upgrade or install a newer version of grub?
[04:45] <DFM> true
[04:46] <DFM> why is it so different than before?
[04:46] <erUSUL> !grub | DFM
[04:46] <ubotu> DFM: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:46] <shinda> anyone got any ideas on how to make the folders mounted with curlftpfs accessible to users other then just root?
[04:46] <DFM> thanks
[04:46] <richiefrich> shinda: chown
[04:46] <richiefrich> shinda: chmod
[04:46] <nothlit> shinda, chown the folder before you mount it
[04:47] <nothlit> shinda, otherwise, you can also use uid,gid
[04:47] <VSpike> ericmoritz\0: mine did the same
[04:47] <shinda> I've tried using uid,gid but still get the problems
[04:47] <ericmoritz\0> VSpike, did it just stop mounting it?
[04:48] <VSpike> ericmoritz\0: pretty much. I had a few different problems.
[04:48] <richiefrich> shinda: how is it being mounted?
[04:48] <shinda> curlftpfs -u user="user:pass",gid=1000 ftp.url.com folder/ is what I used to mount it
[04:48] <shinda> but I did tat as root
[04:48] <nothlit> DFM, you can change the colors in grub, see the grub manual
[04:48] <richiefrich> shinda: after it is mounted show me a  -->  mount | grep  folder
[04:48] <ericmoritz\0> I was able to recreate the swap partition and get it mounting again but it doesn't seem to use it much
[04:49] <VSpike> ericmoritz\0: mine never gets used.  I didn't have one for ages and I didn't notice any difference.
[04:49] <nothlit> not mount -t curlftp -o user=?,uid=1000,gid=1000?
[04:50] <richiefrich> nothlit: y our way will work .. idk what he did
[04:50] <shinda> richiefrich -> curlftpfs on /home/shinda/ftpfolder type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[04:51] <richiefrich> shinda: there is no  users in the ()
[04:51] <noobixor> hi, how can i scale down cpu frequency in my laptop?
[04:51] <shinda> let me try that again
[04:51] <richiefrich> shinda: add users
[04:51] <nothlit> !applets | noobixor
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about applets - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:52] <LjL> !gdesklets | perhaps
[04:52] <ubotu> perhaps: gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[04:52] <nothlit> noobixor, theres a cpu frequency applet, right click on the menu/launch bar and choose add applet, then add the cpu frequency applet
[04:52] <nothlit> LjL, gdesklets seem resource intensive
[04:52] <shinda> richiefrich - i tried using the -o uid=1000 option but I'm setting getting no userid, how can I add a user after I mounted the folder using curl?
[04:52] <LjL> nothlit: i was just guessing, it was the only factoid containing the word "applet", i thought it was what you were thinking about
[04:53] <richiefrich> LjL  thats an app -->   cpufreqd
[04:53] <nothlit> LjL, oh I meant gnome-panel applets
[04:53] <noobixor> nothlit, can i scale smaller than this -> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
[04:53] <noobixor> 1667000 1333000 1000000
[04:53] <richiefrich> shinda: add in your cmd  -o users
[04:53] <LjL> !applets is <reply> To add useful applets to your panel, right click on the panel and choose "Add applet"
[04:53] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[04:53] <dreamer> hmm, in KDE, how can I set prefered aplications? I still can't get thunderbird to open a new mail-window when clicking on an emailadress
[04:53] <nothlit> I doubt it
[04:53] <nothlit> dreamer, launch kcontrol, it should be in there somewhere
[04:54] <nothlit> dreamer, otherwise you may be able to set it within your browser
[04:54] <ThePub> now that java is entirely gpl'd, has there been a word from ubuntu about inclusion of it into the main package database?
[04:54] <richiefrich> shinda: mount -t fuse /dev/??? -o users   /mnt/too
[04:54] <joseba> hola

[05:11] <littlesniper> strange issue: when trying to install ubuntu, after entering gnome, every 10sec or so im back to the login screen :-O. Is that "normal" ?
[05:11] <Linuturk> linuxsys, hi andrew
[05:11] <leandro> pero no puedo
[05:11] <shinda> ritchiefrich: actually I got a page for it what exactly am I looking for in this?
[05:12] <richiefrich> shinda: whats the url?
[05:12] <Danb99> Hey, I've installed the Aegis Anti-virus scanner through the "add applications" function. For some reason, its shortcut won't appear under "accessability" but I can run it through the terminal. I'm setting this PC up for someone new to PC's so I ideally need the shortcut, where can I find it?
[05:12] <jrib> evan_: ok uninstall the vlc plugin
[05:12] <nothlit> littlesniper, after installing ubuntu? or while trying to install ubuntu?
[05:12] <zyth> Danb99, have you logged out of gnome and back in? Sometimes you have to do so for the menus to refresh (there may be another way as well, I'm unsure)
[05:13] <Danb99> Thank you, i will try that
[05:13] <zyth> np
[05:13] <littlesniper> nothlit: when trying to install it
[05:13] <nothlit> zyth, the other way is killall gnome-panel
[05:13] <zyth> ahh
[05:13] <zyth> there
[05:13] <ismail> where can i get the gnome blutooth control remoto
[05:13] <zyth> thanks nothlit
[05:13] <ThunderM> Does anyone have an ideea about the plf repository for edgy ? When i've done a apt-get update today i woke up it couldn't reach them...
[05:13] <Danb99> I have actually reset but it still didn't appear. Any other ideas?
[05:13] <littlesniper> nothlit: boot fine, arrive to gnome, then back to login after a few secs. Worked fine on a newer comp though
[05:13] <evan_> jrib, ok
[05:14] <zyth> Danb99, manually add it.  System -> Preferences -> Menu Layout
[05:14] <Danb99> Thanks mate I will try that
[05:14] <JackW90> hi all
[05:14] <littlesniper> nothlit: when trying to click the install icon (when i have time :) ) the screen flashes and then... back to login
[05:14] <jrib> evan_: now close and start firefox again and test your player here: http://www.linspire.com/products_linspire_whatis.php?tab=compatibility
[05:14] <shinda> ritchiefrich: doesn't show a url just authors email @debian, but there is this url which seems to have info on it http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ
[05:15] <nothlit> littlesniper, well I'm not exactly sure what you can do to fix that, but you can always use the alternate disc to install if the live cd doesn't work
[05:15] <richiefrich> shinda: thats what im reading now
[05:15] <nothlit> !alternate | littlesniper
[05:15] <littlesniper> nothlit: Can i switch to some text mode ?
[05:15] <ubotu> littlesniper: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:15] <JackW90> danb99 hi dude
[05:15] <Linuturk> how do you list out the installed packages using aptitude?
[05:15] <nothlit> Linuturk, aptitude search ~i
[05:15] <Linuturk> via the terminal, not the aptitude men
[05:16] <jrib> Linuturk: http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/
[05:16] <jrib> Linuturk: the "search patterns" page
[05:16] <littlesniper> nothlit: the graphical installation is not ready isnt it  ? :P
[05:16] <nothlit> jrib, how do you get a man url so fast?
[05:16] <richiefrich> shinda: what error do you get on trying to mount it9$
[05:16] <Linuturk> thanks
[05:16] <richiefrich> it?
[05:16] <Danb99> zyth there isn't a "menu layout" but there is a "menu & toolbars" but there isn't anything in there which will add the shortcut. any other ideas?
[05:16] <Danb99> hey jackw90
[05:16] <jrib> nothlit: bookmark
[05:16] <nothlit> littlesniper, theres probably a solution, and i'm thinking about it, but the alternate cd is a great tool, gives you more options as well
[05:17] <nothlit> Danb99, just rightclick on the applications bar and click edit menu
[05:17] <nothlit> Danb99, after that you can add it manually inside a category
[05:17] <JackW90> danb99 l8r m8!
[05:17] <Danb99> I've tried that and the virus scanner is there with a tick-box next to it but it still won't appear
[05:18] <nothlit> Danb99, tick the tick box ?
[05:18] <ismail> where can i get the gnome blutooth control remoto
[05:18] <littlesniper> nothlit: i will try the othe cd, I want an universal one for several machines. The desktop CD worked on the more ressent machine only
[05:18] <nothlit> !bluetooth
[05:18] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:18] <Danb99> cya jackw90!
[05:18] <Danb99> I've done that nothlit
[05:18] <nothlit> littlesniper, the livecd doesn't work if you don't have enough memory
[05:18] <shinda> ritchiefrich: mount: can't find it9 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:19] <Danb99> the weird thing is I've installed another program and that appears fine
[05:19] <littlesniper> nothlit: :D its not that old, it has >700Mram I suppose its enough
[05:19] <nothlit> Danb99, not all the programs are packaged according to freedesktop.org specifications, and thats where your problems lie
[05:19] <littlesniper> nothlit: its just there is a vodoo3 inside which may be a problem, i dont know
[05:19] <shinda> ritchiefrich: I appreciate the help, but I got to run, got an exam in 10 mins, so sorry to bolt like this
[05:20] <Danb99> How can I resolve that/
[05:20] <jfrench_> Hey, I was hoping some one could link me to a site, the show how to easily upgrade beryl from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

[05:53] <DaDiablo> I have the following problem: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Anyone know what i have to do?
[05:53] <igor_> you shoiuld create /media/windows first
[05:53] <igor_> mkdir /media/windows if it didn't exist.
[05:53] <AlexC_> igor_: yeah I have created it
[05:53] <igor_> then mount should help you
[05:53] <igor_> if is on fstab you can mount with mount /media/windows only
[05:53] <igor_> cd /media/windows will show you the contents
[05:54] <igor_> ALT+F2 and type /media/windows will help too
[05:54] <igor_> :-)
[05:54] <AlexC_> igor_: I have it in my fstab - but when I looked in /media/windows there was _no files_ .... yet I know for a fact there are

[05:56] <nothlit> !ftps

[05:56] <igor_> wy2000: why should you need a oracle dba to install oracle?
[05:56] <nothlit> mztriz, install gftp and do it
[05:57] <somerville32> nothlit, No it stands for secure file transfer protocol, thanks ;]
[05:57] <igor_> AlexC_: file -s /dev/sdb1
