[07:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:53] <joeCoT> exec: so in order for that to do linux any good, you'd need to resize the windows partition so there's room for a linux one. you understand
[07:53] <joeCoT> exec: good question :)
[07:54] <wastrel> execrator771:  the physical space on the drive is partitioned into logical chunks, the NTFS partition takes up the whole drive.  in order to install linux you need to shrink the NTFS partition to free up unpartitioned space for a linux partition
[07:54] <wastrel> also:  "partition"

[07:54] <pacman> THX: thanks, I"ve already done everything there
[07:54] <aidanr> oops
[07:54] <execrator771> i see
[07:55] <execrator771> so maybe a defrag will do the trick? or no
[07:55] <Keyseir_> Which entry on the ifconfig -a is my local IP? The first I assume?
[07:56] <execrator771> keyseir: eth0
[07:56] <Keyseir_> thx
[07:56] <execrator771> so any ideas?
[07:57] <wastrel> execrator771:  you should defrag, then you will have to use a tool to resize the windows partition
[07:57] <execrator771> do you know of such a tool?
[07:57] <wastrel> gparted, which i believe is part of the installer
[07:57] <execrator771> how do i run gparted?
[07:58] <yakumo> hi, is there a way i can install my MSI bluetooth on my ubuntu?
[07:58] <wastrel> execrator771:  hopefully someone else will help :]   ask after you defrag windows
[07:58] <THX-1138> pacman - Here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3567
[07:58] <wastrel> gotta get to bed :]
[07:58] <execrator771> thanks bro
[07:58] <joeCoT> exec: in the installer, there's an option for resizing your partitions. you probably want to have your data backed up before messing with it, because no partition resizing always goes well
[07:59] <execrator771> i have an external i can back up to
[07:59] <nomin> I'm having audio problems with wine.  What does this message mean?:  "fixme:wave:ESD_AddRingMessage two fast messages in the queue!!!!"
[07:59] <execrator771> remember though, i've tried resizing it with the installer, and it dosen't work
[08:00] <execrator771> is there anothre tool, maybe a windoze tool that can do it?
[08:00] <joeCoT> exec: partition magic (aka partition tragic)
[08:00] <execrator771> LOL ok, i'll have to pay for that huh, but i guess i could find a crack or something
[08:01] <snoops> hey how can I refresh the list of mounted drives - which show up on my desktop and in places>removable media? I've mounted another drive and it's not showing up in there..if I reboot it'll show up..but how do I refresh it without rebooting?

 The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
 The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
   (Details: serial 134 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful

[08:13] <mnepton> badkitty: what does ifconfig tell you?
[08:14] <badkitty> It shows that I have wlan0 but i don't have an Ip address... i tried DHclient and got no response
[08:15] <badkitty> I tried iwlist wlan0 scan and got no scan results
[08:15] <mnepton> badkitty: what else is there besides wlan0?
[08:15] <badkitty> wmaster0
[08:15] <badkitty> lo
[08:15] <mnepton> badkitty: eht0, lo, etc etc
[08:15] <mnepton> *eth0
[08:16] <mnepton> badkitty: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[08:17] <badkitty> I cant use that because I dont have a hard line connection.. But I tried to install the package from my thumb drive and it says i have unmet dependencies
[08:18] <mnepton> badkitty: it needs network-manager and other things. use Synaptic on the networked machine to find the deps and get them.
[08:18] <badkitty> libdbus-1-2?
[08:19] <badkitty> My networked machine has windows...I found the network-manager and the gnome version... but there are still unmet dependencies
[08:19] <joeCoT> bah. nvidia's still giving me errors >_< i'm now just searching the machine for the kernel module so i can manually delete the thing
[08:19] <shwag> i plugged a USB drive in. how do I mount it manually from the command line?
[08:19] <q_a_z_steve> Is there a way to get to network locations in Term?
[08:20] <shwag> where is it in dev ?
[08:20] <shwag> q_a_z_steve, smbtree
[08:20] <oskude> shwag: normally it should automaticly mount... and normally its in /dev/sda1
[08:20] <mnepton> badkitty: how did you get that stuff on the thumb drive? do that again for the other dependencies.
[08:20] <shwag> oskude, uhh...isn't /dev/sda1 my main hard drive ?
[08:21] <mnepton> shwag: only if you have SCSI/SATA
[08:21] <oskude> shwag: uhh...dunno
[08:21] <kraut> moin
[08:21] <oskude> shwag: my (ide) main hard drive is at /dev/hda
[08:21] <badkitty> Right... its just hard for me to find them.. Im new to ubuntu.. and repositories.. Im just using google to find them.. its not the best method.. any suggestions?
[08:21] <oskude> !repos > badkitty
[08:22] <mnepton> badkitty: use Synaptic, search for network-manager-gnome and look at the package's details. dependencies are listed there.
[08:22] <q_a_z_steve> shwag: so how do I CD on over there?

[08:24] <robin> Hey all. Is Edgy safe to use?
[08:24] <DBO> robin, no
[08:24] <joeCoT> lol
[08:24] <q_a_z_steve> as safe as any testing
[08:24] <wickedpuppy> DBO, if you leave and come back i think you will know why mnepton called for help ..
[08:24] <mnepton> DBO: /mode #ubuntu +b<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(please) :)
[08:25] <oskude> DBO: PleAt44 is spamming PM's on login (selling laptops on low price:)
[08:25] <mnepton> I KISS YOU!

[08:26] <mnepton> DBO: but that works.
[08:26] <q_a_z_steve> question is what is similar to torsmo but in the repositories?
[08:26] <MystaMax> hello, when I load perl scripts (twiki) in my browser, it does not parse the script?? why is that??
[08:27] <mnepton> MystaMax: got mod-perl installed and loaded?
[08:27] <joeCoT> bah. to remove linux-restricted-drivers, i have to remove xgl, xserver, ....
[08:27] <oskude> MystaMax: did you open it as file://blah or http://blah ?
[08:27] <mnepton> MystaMax: if so, does apache understand the MIME type and handler?
[08:28] <q_a_z_steve> shwag: so how do I CD on over there?
[08:28] <MystaMax> oskude, http://localhost/twiki   - I'm familar with php, just not perl
[08:29] <oskude> MystaMax: me too :) i assume you need a module for apache... look what mnepton said...
[08:29] <q_a_z_steve> Is there a way to get to network locations in Term?
[08:29] <q_a_z_steve> Operative word TO
[08:30] <Gasten> Hi. I accedently ... pressed something in aumix (a mixing-program), and now I don't have any sound. Is there some kind if app that can check the best card-preferences automaticly? I don't know _anything_ about sound(cards).
[08:30] <MystaMax> mnepton, i assume  libapache2-mod-perl2 is the correct package
[08:30] <MystaMax> i dont have that installed
[08:30] <oskude> q_a_z_steve: if you mean samba, please say so... other wise you could use "ssh user@ip" to get to another machine...
[08:30] <shwag> q_a_z_steve, smbmount most likely
[08:30] <crimsun> Gasten: pastebin your ``amixer'' output
[08:30] <yakumo> how do i install .tar sofhware?
[08:31] <Keyseir_> I forwarded the vnc ports to my local ip but when I viewer into my regular IP I don't get anything =(
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> yes samba sorry. I also have noticed I don't have anything being shared even if I try?
[08:31] <Keyseir_> I guess I either don't have the right IP or didn't forward it properly
[08:31] <overrider> i want to download all those security updates to a central repository, and have other ubuntu machines download from there. any ideas on how to accomplish this?
[08:31] <q_a_z_steve> from my UBuntu box.
[08:31] <oskude> yakumo: you mean install software that is packed in a .tar.gz ? that depeneds ints just a zipped package that can contain _anything_
[08:31] <bioticpro> Is xDVDShrink or K9Copy better?
[08:32] <Tonren> Hey guys, there is a workgroup on the Windows Network that I can access from Windows, but in Linux when I try to access it via Nautilus, I get a "could not display all the contents of this folder" error.
[08:32] <yakumo> im trying to install ypop any idea what to download
[08:32] <oskude> overrider: a local repo mirror... but i never done that (yet)...
[08:32] <Gasten> crimsun: http://deadbeefbabe.org/paste/2174
[08:32] <mnepton> MystaMax: with no mod-perl, apache cannot process perl scripts. that's your biggest problem.
[08:32] <oskude> yakumo: dunno, never heard...
[08:33] <joeCoT> is there a way to mark a package as not broken?
[08:33] <yakumo> ok thnks anyway
[08:33] <MystaMax> mnepton, ok I'm going to attempt to install  libapache2-mod-perl2
[08:33] <yakumo> any idea how can i use my evolution mail to open my yahoo mail?
[08:34] <mnepton> yakumo: only possible if you have paid Y! for POP/IMAP access. free accounts are web-only, unless something has changed recently.
[08:34] <oskude> yakumo: didnt you ask that yesterday ? or was it someone else...
[08:35] <yakumo> yes
[08:35] <yakumo> that how i know about jpop
[08:35] <Gasten> crimsun: Are you there?
[08:35] <mnepton> yakumo: free Y! mail accounts do not get POP or IMAP access, AFAIK.
[08:35] <oskude> yakumo: hmm, i just did "apt-cache search yahoo" an i found this "fetchyahoo - Retrieve mail from Yahoo!'s webmail service" (among others)
[08:35] <crimsun> Gasten: yes, give me a sec, please
[08:36] <savvas> oskude: do you know any application with text only?
[08:36] <oskude> savvas: for what ?
[08:36] <yakumo> and any idea how can i install my MSI bluetooth on my ubuntu?
[08:36] <savvas> like gkrellm you said previously
[08:37] <oskude> savvas: ah, no, sorry
[08:37] <savvas> ok thanks :)
[08:38] <oskude> savvas: but i think there are lot "daemons" that monitor your system and provide that info over snmp/http/what ever
[08:38] <crimsun> Gasten: amixer set 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' on && amixer set 'Wave' 80% && amixer set 'Wave Center' 80% && amixer set 'Wave LFE' 80% && amixer set 'Wave Surround' 80%
[08:38] <tarelerulz> Ok I am really lost do any of you ever compile program  with ubuntu
[08:38] <savvas> hm.. like lm-sensors?
[08:39] <oskude> savvas: never had hardware sensors, so dunno about that...
[08:39] <savvas> oh ok :)
[08:39] <wickedpuppy> tarelerulz, yes ? i am doing c now ...
[08:39] <joeCoT> any way to trick apt into thinking linux-restricted modules is installed? :)
[08:39] <oskude> tarelerulz: i compiled in ubuntu, but not with ubuntu ;)
[08:39] <q_a_z_steve> so after I "mount -t smbfs -o username=James,password=turnip2910 //SLICK/Mickey /data/test" where is the share? df doesn't show it and I can't cd over to any /data...
[08:39] <tarelerulz> The reason I ask if I try to compile mplayer and I got that I don't have the make command
[08:39] <Gasten> crimsun: Wow. I have no idea what you did, but it worked like hell. Thanks! Tell me if I can help you with something sometimes :)
[08:40] <oskude> !build > tarelerulz
[08:40] <wickedpuppy> tarelerulz, why you need to compile mplayer ?? its in the repo ...
[08:40] <tarelerulz> I can't seem to find it
[08:40] <tarelerulz> It does not show up
[08:40] <wickedpuppy> !mplayer
[08:40] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile

[08:40] <KEA0463> hey guess what
[08:40] <wickedpuppy> tarelerulz, its in the multiverse ... is it enabled on your com ?
[08:40] <q_a_z_steve> so after I "mount -t smbfs -o username=James,password=dumbpass //SLICK/Mickey /data/test" where is the share? df doesn't show it and I can't cd over to any /data...
[08:41] <KEA0463> i finally learned how to use wine
[08:41] <tarelerulz> How do you enable mulitivers
[08:41] <oskude> !repos > tarelerulz
[08:41] <KEA0463> my problem was i needed to be in the right directory for wine to work
[08:41] <marshall> when you install apache, shouldnt there be a /var/www/ path where you put the files you wish to be available on the internet?
[08:42] <wickedpuppy> marshall, yes
[08:42] <wickedpuppy> there is ...
[08:42] <marshall> ok
[08:42] <wickedpuppy> you mean you havn't installed apache ?
[08:42] <tarelerulz> I am not meaning to sound dumb ,but I thought I enable all the repos there was for ubuntu
[08:42] <oskude> marshall: and a dir named "public_html" in your home dir...
[08:42] <KEA0463> cd ~/Desktop
[08:42] <Tonren> Hey guys, there is a workgroup on the Windows Network that I can access from Windows, but in Linux when I try to access it via Nautilus, I get a "could not display all the contents of this folder" error.
[08:43] <KEA0463> changes your directory to desktop
[08:43] <marshall> i installed apache on my Archlinux server and there is no /var/www dir (wickedpuppy, oskude)
[08:43] <KEA0463> i have finally seen the light
[08:43] <marshall> i just wanted to know how things were supposed to be in ubuntu
[08:43] <KEA0463> ubuntu is heavenly
[08:44] <wickedpuppy> marshall, this is ubuntu ....
[08:44] <oskude> marshall: well, atleas apache2 in ubuntu makes /var/www (or was it even before that there, dunno)
[08:44] <wickedpuppy> tarelerulz, can paste your sources.list on the pastebin pls ?
[08:44] <marshall> oskude, ohh, thanks
[08:44] <MystaMax> mnepton, ok I got the module installed, and I see perl in the mods-availabe and mods-enabled directory, when i run configtest on apache its OK, but i still can't get the scripts to parse
[08:44] <wickedpuppy> KEA0463, ~ means /home/username in all linux .... in case you think its just for ubuntu :P
[08:45] <KEA0463> yeah that was my problem the whole time
[08:45] <oskude> MystaMax: i would google...
[08:45] <KEA0463> i couldnt get no linux to work
[08:45] <tarelerulz> thanks ubotu
[08:45] <KEA0463> directories
[08:46] <KEA0463> for such a simple concept its hard to learn if you dont have a clue
[08:46] <wickedpuppy> KEA0463, join a local linux group .. i always find it easiest for new users to learn
[08:46] <KEA0463> ok
[08:46] <MystaMax> oskude, i wonder if perl scripts need file extensions to be parsed?
[08:47] <oskude> MystaMax: afaik, apache goes by extension...
[08:47] <oskude> MystaMax: as you see in configs, accosiacated to like .php
[08:47] <MystaMax> yep
[08:48] <KEA0463> i am churning out C++ programs now!!!
[08:48] <wickedpuppy> KEA0463, where ? vi? emacs ?

[08:49] <KEA0463> always C++ is Fun!!!!
[08:50] <KEA0463> }

[08:50] <wickedpuppy> KEA0463, i prefer C ... but to each his own :P
[08:50] <oskude> anomaly: maybe cause your router is not "online" ?
[08:50] <Kragnerac> Ahhh, Python scripts.... :)
[08:50] <KEA0463> ++ the excitement
[08:51] <anomaly> oskude: It isn't location specific. And everything works fine as soon as I set the DNS manually.
[08:51] <Kragnerac> I wonder, who works with Visual Basic...
[08:51] <KEA0463> not me
[08:51] <Polaris> can comeone please help me...i cant get sound

[08:52] <oskude> mOrO^: how did you burn the image ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[08:52] <mOrO^> oskude: Ill check.
[08:52] <hyby> i i have an intel ICH6 sound card within in my laptop
[08:52] <hyby> i have tried toggling with alsamixer
[08:52] <hyby> i am using 6.06.1
[08:53] <mOrO^> oskude: I didnt make it bootable :(
[08:53] <KEA0463> ouch
[08:53] <oskude> mOrO^: common mistake...
[08:54] <mOrO^> oskude: ok... Ill reburn.
[08:54] <oskude> mOrO^: means you have to burn it "as image" not just some drag and drop...
[08:54] <oskude> mOrO^: and before you burn, i would usggest to check the md5sum...
[08:54] <mOrO^> oskude: my burner has an image dialog... so I can make an ISO image and also an option to make it bootable.
[08:55] <oskude> mOrO^: ok ...
[08:55] <wickedpuppy> it asked and you set it to no ?
[08:56] <tarelerulz> I am lost mplayer is said to be in the dapper repos ,but I don't see it when I do search
[08:56] <oskude> !repos > tarelerulz
[08:56] <mOrO^> oskude: ok.
[08:56] <hyby> does anyone have an intel ICH6 sound card and managed to get it to work in ubuntu 6.06.1
[08:56] <wickedpuppy> eh oskude he seen it before
[08:56] <tarelerulz> Ok
[08:56] <tarelerulz> how do you turn them on
[08:57] <tarelerulz> that is all I want to know
[08:57] <oskude> wickedpuppy: then it should work... if he follows the guide---
[08:57] <wickedpuppy> tarelerulz, can you paste your sources.list on the pastebin ?
[08:57] <wickedpuppy> oskude, ok ... well then i go back to C ... tarelerulz pls follow the guide
[08:57] <tarelerulz> I am not dumb I really don't see it come up
[08:58] <tarelerulz> I seclected all the repositories
[08:58] <tarelerulz> and the same thing seems to happen
[08:58] <defrysk> tarelerulz, and upgraded them too ?
[08:58] <tarelerulz> how how do I do that
[08:58] <defrysk> updated I should say
[08:58] <MaKaTiGuY> Oskude: hi
[08:58] <oskude> tarelerulz: i don know how the gui does it (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu) but on terminal you could do "sudo apt-get update" and then try to find mplayer
[08:59] <defrysk> tarelerulz, in synaptic refresh
[08:59] <tarelerulz> ok
[08:59] <defrysk> in the cli sudo apt-get update
[08:59] <defrysk> whateve you prefer
[09:00] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY: ho
[09:00] <tarelerulz> I hit relaod on gui synaptic
[09:00] <tarelerulz> I hoe that is what you mean
[09:00] <oskude> tarelerulz: sounds good
[09:00] <defrysk> oskude, Microsoft does not really recommend people to read ... ;p
[09:00] <tarelerulz> and I have done sudo apt-get updates before
[09:01] <wickedpuppy> oskude, and rtfm is banned here ... :P for everyone's happiness i should add
[09:01] <oskude> wickedpuppy: no wonder...
[09:01] <AsheD> you can do RAID5 with 4 drives, right?  like 3 in stripe, 1 for parity?
[09:01] <oskude> wickedpuppy: is it then RTFB ? :P
[09:01] <tarelerulz> I am lost
[09:01] <tarelerulz> I did reload and the same stuff comes up
[09:02] <defrysk> sudo apt-get install mplayer
[09:02] <wickedpuppy> oskude, try it ... if you didnt get k-lined .. i will follow :P
[09:02] <defrysk> I have to go..
[09:02] <defrysk> later all
[09:02] <wickedpuppy> later
[09:02] <MaKaTiGuY> oskude: i downloaded lots of application but i cant find them
[09:03] <tarelerulz> root@ubuntu-tarel:/etc# apt-get install mplayer
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Reading package lists... Done
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Building dependency tree... Done
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Package mplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:03] <tarelerulz> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:03] <tarelerulz> is only available from another source
[09:03] <tarelerulz> E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
[09:03] <czer323> Any comments about fglrx/mplayer and xv?
[09:03] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY: with firefox ? at default it downloads them to ~/Desktop
[09:03] <oskude> !paste > tarelerulz
[09:03] <oskude> tarelerulz: apt-cache search mplayer
[09:03] <MaKaTiGuY> oskude: synaptic
[09:03] <Ramunas> hello :)
[09:04] <tarelerulz> you can see that It says I can't get it
[09:04] <cactus_sediento> hello everybody...how can i make a fsck?...need the hard disk unmounted...
[09:04] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY: ah, well not all programs get to the gnome start menu...
[09:04] <MaKaTiGuY> oskude: so where can i find them
[09:04] <oskude> tarelerulz: apt-cache search mplayer (and install the appropiate mplayer-foo)
[09:04] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY, name one program ...
[09:05] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY: the executables are mostly in /usr/bin, and thats allso in your system path, so you just type the program comman on terminal, or in alt+f2
[09:06] <cactus_sediento> my disk close unexpectadly yesterday....now would like to check it for errors....
[09:08] <cactus_sediento> somebody can advice about a hardware diagnostic tool?
[09:09] <anilomkar> can u suggest me a good download manager for ubuntu
[09:09] <wickedpuppy> ?
[09:10] <wickedpuppy> actually i havn't download big files for long time ... lol
[09:10] <wickedpuppy> sorry .. can't think of one ..
[09:11] <MaKaTiGuY> wicked: gnomp3
[09:11] <anilomkar> wickedpuppy, what u will use for downloading files...
[09:11] <wickedpuppy> anilomkar, files ? how big are the files ? what kind of files ?
[09:11] <wickedpuppy> i use azureus ...
[09:11] <anilomkar> wickedpuppy, they about 150 MB and that is java installation file
[09:11] <wickedpuppy> if that gives ya any clues ... including linux ISOs ... most distros got torrents
[09:12] <snoops> there's d4x which is a fairly popular download manager..can be used like flashget on windows.. there's a couple of other cli only ones too, but I forget the names
[09:12] <wickedpuppy> anilomkar, firefox ? my connection is pretty stable ..
[09:12] <|thunder> anilomkar; try aria
[09:12] <|thunder> is like getright kinda
[09:12] <Tru7h> Having serious graphical errors on my computer when running Ubuntu. Can anybody help?
[09:12] <oskude> snoops: wget -c is enough...
[09:12] <|thunder> just make sure to save a .list file ,..
[09:12] <wickedpuppy> anilomkar, for that size , i care not about the download program ... for 10+ gig yes ...
[09:12] <oskude> !help > Tru7h
[09:13] <oskude> eeh
[09:13] <oskude> !helpme > Tru7h
[09:13] <snoops> oskude.. ah but wget doesn't create many connections for the same file at once, each downloading it's own portion..this is how all download accelorators work..plus you can't really 'manage' wgets that easily
[09:13] <Tru7h> Yeah, okay. Well, Windows XP works fine but when I run Ubuntu the screen's split into two and it's all flickery and stuff.
[09:14] <Tru7h> It's a Dell Inspiron 8000, I think it must be the graphics card.
[09:14] <oskude> snoops: ok, never needed that as i mostly get full bandwith with one connections... and using more connections for one file is very lame...
[09:15] <snoops> heh, with 10mbit you usually do need multiple..just how it goes :)
[09:15] <oskude> Tru7h: yup, seen that on my latitude, definetly driver problem... its an ati chip right ?
[09:15] <wickedpuppy> snoops, i am on 65 mbps ...
[09:15] <Tru7h> oskude: ATI, yeah. Do you know how I can fix it?
[09:16] <snoops> cool wickedpuppy.. close to the swedes on 100mbit ;)
[09:16] <oskude> Tru7h: which ati chip is it ? (i use "ati" driver with 1600x1200x24bit, other bit rated cause that "split")
[09:16] <wickedpuppy> snoops, soon there will be public wifi countrywide here ... in 2 years singapore will have wifi everywhere.. :P
[09:16] <wickedpuppy> even sweeter
[09:17] <Tru7h> oskdude: It's 1400x1050x32bit.
[09:17] <Tru7h> oskude: The card is "ATI Mobility 128 AGP 4x"
[09:17] <wickedpuppy> 1400X1050 ? thats odd resolution ... wide screen or something ?
[09:18] <Tru7h> Nope. lol
[09:18] <oskude> Tru7h: ehm, im no ...dude ;) is that the max resolution that the lcd can ? rage128 ?
[09:18] <Tru7h> I dunno. I'm not great at this graphics stuff.
[09:18] <hyby> sorry about this bbut i was wondering whether someone can help my with my sound problems
[09:19] <Tru7h> This 'book has had graphic problems for awhile... sometimes when I run fullscreen programs it's like super-tiny and centered in the screen.
[09:19] <oskude> Tru7h: hmm, try changing the driver to "r128" with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or manually with "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[09:19] <Tru7h> oskude: I'll try that. :)
[09:20] <Tru7h> oskude: Hmm... maybe I should try it in Windows instead, since it's pretty damn hard to use Ubuntu with a dysfunctional display.
[09:20] <snoops> 1400x1050 is a 3:4 res if I'm not mistaken
[09:20] <hyby> IS anyone experience with intel ICH6 sound cards
[09:20] <oskude> Tru7h: try what in windows ?
[09:20] <snoops> it just looks a bit odd, since it's close to 1280x1024 which isn't a 4:3 res
[09:20] <Tru7h> oskude: Getting a better driver.
[09:21] <oskude> Tru7h: aha... and how is that gonna help your problem ?
[09:21] <Tru7h> oskude: Why wouldn't it?
[09:21] <oskude> Tru7h: the driver "r128" is allready in ubuntu, you just need to load it...
[09:21] <Tru7h> Alrighty. Let's see how this goes.
[09:21] <oskude> Tru7h: and windows doesnt know anything about linux/ubuntu, so you cant even mount the linux partition :/
[09:22] <superm1> hey guys.  i'm looking to be able to run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh as a user with sudo permissions but without entering a password.  I've added %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: /etc/acpi to my /etc/sudoers file, but it still demands my password when trying
[09:22] <Tru7h> oskude: Yeah... I'm a newb.
[09:22] <Tru7h> I'm learning though.
[09:22] <oskude> Tru7h: first lesson: forget all you learned in windows :)
[09:22] <snoops> oskude yes you can..you can use the ext2(which supports ext3) driver from fs-driver.org on windows to read/write ext3 volumes
[09:22] <Tru7h> oskude: No worries there. I never learned anything using Windows.
[09:22] <oskude> Tru7h: except if you used "cmd" under windows
[09:23] <Tru7h> oskude: I suppose that does count for something, doesn't it?
[09:23] <oskude> snoops: yup. but thats not installed by default in windows...
[09:23] <Tru7h> It's like a crappier ver of terminal with less features. :)
[09:23] <knoppix> im amazed that there are so many thousands of commands within the root shelll
[09:24] <oskude> Tru7h: just implifying that if you know how to navigate in cmd/dos, that will help in ubuntu...
[09:24] <knoppix> im very new to nux
[09:24] <wickedpuppy> Tru7h, calling it a terminal insults bash ...
[09:24] <Tru7h> wickedpuppy: How so? I call it terminal because that's its name... lol
[09:24] <wickedpuppy> Tru7h, learn bash and you will know why .... all your init.d scripts are in bash
[09:25] <Tru7h> wickedpuppy: I don't know anything about bash yet.
[09:25] <coyctecm> even pure sh is so much better than windows cmd stuff
[09:25] <knoppix> damn...when will windows die? i want full gaming support in ubuntu, rome total war, civ4 full native mode
[09:25] <wickedpuppy> agreed ...
[09:26] <Tru7h> knoppix: As long as people are willing to sacrifice functionality for interface, Windows will live on.
[09:26] <oskude> knoppix: then start spamming the makers to make a linux client...
[09:26] <hoelk> anyone here uses amarok with replay gain script?
[09:26] <coyctecm> games should become open source too.
[09:26] <coyctecm> not free as in beer, but as in speech
[09:27] <wickedpuppy> coyctecm, then will you make them ?
[09:27] <knoppix> and whats up with the lack of debian format support...seems all the new hardware is being put for rpms
[09:28] <pablozzz> hi all
[09:28] <superm1> knoppix, what sort of hardware are you missing support for that is provided in rpms?

[09:31] <mOrO^> mnepton: ubuntu install dvd
[09:31] <knoppix> im not kidding....
[09:31] <oskude> mOrO^: well, that was propably that "make it bootable" option in your wonderfull burning program...
[09:31] <mnepton> mOrO^: i can assure that the Ubuntu Install DVD does not have a DOS prompt
[09:32] <Tru7h> My entire school uses WinXP. I can use CMD to shut down any of the computers. It's fun to annoy people. :P
[09:32] <mOrO^> mnepton: it goes to a:\
[09:32] <Tru7h> They didn't even block regedit...
[09:32] <coyctecm> dos prompt in ubuntu install? WTF? :)
[09:32] <mOrO^> drdos or something
[09:32] <mnepton> mOrO^: that's not Ubuntu
[09:32] <preaction> Tru7h, my LIBRARY is better-secured than your school
[09:32] <mnepton> mOrO^: Linux has *absolutely* no conception of drive letters.
[09:32] <Tru7h> preaction: I can imagine.
[09:32] <oskude> mOrO^: read the helpfile of your burning tool to see what that "make bootable" really does!

[09:32] <mOrO^> oskude: ok.
[09:33] <mOrO^> mnepton: ok
[09:33] <knoppix> omg! got root?
[09:33] <Tru7h> I'm still trying to grasp that concept, I'm so used to drive letters. What exactly does Linux use as a substitute? How can I access my Windows C: from Ubuntu?
[09:33] <mOrO^> oskude: dont make no difference now... Im out of dvds now. SHITEFIRE.
[09:33] <mnepton> Tru7h: Unix sees everything as one, big filesystem
[09:33] <knoppix> root beer...ginseng root...root slashdot
[09:34] <oskude> Tru7h: fisrt, C: is not a partition, its a mount point... so first you have to find where c: is mounted, which partitio on which disk
[09:34] <POVaddct> Tru7h: we are /proc/partitions of borg. drive letters are irrelevant. you will be fdisk'ed.
[09:34] <deadcat> can i run compiz without gnome/kde?
[09:35] <gumbah> ?
[09:36] <Tru7h> Hmm.
[09:37] <shinobi2> my ubuntu's clock on the upper right hand corner disappear, how do i get it out?
[09:37] <oskude> Tru7h: and if "c:" is a ntfs partition, i wouldn write to it from ubuntu, but reading is (mostly) not dangerous...
[09:37] <knoppix> there is no escape from winbloze

[09:37] <Tru7h> Windows reads my Linux as being installed on drives y: and z:.
[09:38] <wickedpuppy> knoppix, i been using linux only for 4 years now ...
[09:38] <oskude> Tru7h: omg, what format did you use for linux partitions ?
[09:38] <knoppix> find me something besides cedega trash that will play my games even at 3/4 speed and ill never look back too
[09:38] <POVaddct> Tru7h: forget what windows calls them. there are disks (like hda, hdb) and partitions (like hda1, hda5, ...)
[09:38] <knoppix> its like a damn leash around my neck
[09:38] <mnepton> oskude: he might have the win32/ext3 driver installed
[09:38] <oskude> mnepton: i doubt, but would be nice...
[09:39] <frandavid100> hola gente
[09:39] <Tru7h> mnepton, oskdude: That's what I did
[09:39] <POVaddct> Tru7h: numbers 1 to 4 are reserved for primary and extended partitions. logical partitions always start at number 5.
[09:39] <oskude> Tru7h: nice!
[09:39] <mnepton> knoppix: smart people use consoles for games, and get off the "bi-annual video card update and more RAM and a CPU overclocking and 3 Windows re-installs" treadmill
[09:40] <POVaddct> Tru7h: ide disk name are hda, hdb, hdc, ...  scsi and sata disk names are sda, sdb, sdc, ...

[09:41] <SeraVitae> Hi there, my laptop has ubuntu on it. (that's it). I need to dual boot windows. I realise grub is going to freak out/be deleted/etc. Is there a guide for how to get dual booting back in this case?
[09:41] <knoppix> hey now....wasting time isn't what i would call it....gaming is never a waste of time
[09:41] <Vuen> what's up ubuntu, is there a way to lock a terminal such as tty1 without closing whatever program you're running in it?
[09:41] <mnepton> SeraVitae: many. Google for "restore grun ubuntu"

[09:41] <POVaddct> oskude: explaining how linux names disks and partitions is on-topic IMHO
[09:42] <oskude> SeraVitae: you can get dualboot "only" with grub... or what do you mean ?

[09:45] <livingdaylight> whilst trying to install and enable nvidia 3d something has gone wrong. when i Cnt+Alt+Backspace the system freezes/stalls and i didn't see the nvidia logo like i was told to expect to. Fortunately, my old Xorgconf.files are backed up by default - right? and i just need to retrieve those. what is the command for retrieving backup, please?
[09:45] <livingdaylight> in the ubuntuguide to backup would be: sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
[09:45] <livingdaylight> In this given example how would i retrieve the backup would i need to as i do now with my xorg.confiles?
[09:45] <s-toned> How do I setup Ctrl-Alt-O as a shortcut for starting OpenOffice.org?
[09:46] <wickedpuppy> thats... sources.list not xorg.conf ...
[09:46] <shinobi2> oskude: do you know how i can brink back my clock on the upper right hand corner? i think  my ubuntu desktop is screwed up, maybe i need to uninstall it then install it again
[09:46] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: i know, i'm using that as an example to ask how i restroe a backed up anything
[09:47] <shinobi2> oskude: i deleted something accidently
[09:47] <oskude> shinobi2: right click on the panel, and add a clock (i think)
[09:47] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, oh yes .. thats how to backup ..
[09:47] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: because i don't know the path to my xorg.conf files_backup right now
[09:47] <shinobi2> oskude: thx
[09:47] <shinobi2> oskude: still desktop behaves kind of weird
[09:48] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: yes, i know that is how you backup. I didn't ask for confrimation whether this is how one backs up. I am asking how does one restore a backed up anything
[09:48] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, xorg.conf is in /etc/X11
[09:48] <livingdaylight> In this given example how would i retrieve the backup would i need to as i do now with my xorg.confiles?
[09:48] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: pls help
[09:48] <mnepton> frandavid100: still there?
[09:49] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, you would do the reverse ? sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list_backup  /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:49] <livingdaylight> no, the backup to nvdia enabling is in /varsomething or /opt something
[09:49] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: 1. pls is very lame 2. we (atleast i) dont know your problem...

[09:50] <mnepton> chronoAZ: on PPC or Intel?
[09:50] <MaKaTiGuY^> can u suggest
[09:50] <frandavid100> those are from dapper right?
[09:50] <oskude> !dualboot > chronoAZ
[09:50] <mnepton> frandavid100: aye
[09:50] <frandavid100> there is only the png in edgy
[09:50] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: sorry, i'm not familiear with backing up or retrieving. But alas i have to figure it out now
[09:50] <frandavid100> you could have just saved my day :D
[09:50] <mnepton> frandavid100: just put the pngs and xpms in /usr/share/pixmaps
[09:51] <mnepton> (and chown/chmod accordingly)
[09:51] <frandavid100> I'll send them to the maintainers so that they add it to the default
[09:51] <weex> i want to be able to search my files faster. Can anyone suggest a tool that indexes? Like sherlock or google desktop?
[09:51] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, relax ... backup , retrieve is just buzzwords... think of them as letters .. love letters and you can see what to do
[09:51] <oskude> weex: locate
[09:51] <ClayG> does anyone know of a standalone .exe web browser (with tabs)? I need to use somerthing besides this hidious IE and im at work
[09:51] <frandavid100> see you later mnepton and thanks again!!
[09:51] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: love letters huh?....hmmmm....as in backandforth?  :)
[09:51] <Enselic> !eclipse
[09:51] <wickedpuppy> actually suse has a desktop search tool .. i forgot the name
[09:52] <ubotu> eclipse: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.2-1ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 100 kB, installed size 368 kB
[09:52] <ClayG> can run executables but cannot install packages?
[09:52] <oskude> !beagle > weex
[09:52] <weex> oskude: so that locate looks inside files?
[09:52] <chronoAZ> how woudl i got about dual booting mac os x and ubuntu?
[09:52] <oskude> weex: no, locale just finds files
[09:52] <mnepton> ClayG: you're going to install Debian packages on something running IE?
[09:52] <mnepton> ClayG: nice trick ;)
[09:52] <chronoAZ> on an ibook
[09:52] <weex> thanks oskude i'll check out beagle
[09:52] <oskude> chronoAZ: ubotu just told you "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot"
[09:53] <chronoAZ> oskude: i just got disconnected
[09:53] <chronoAZ> geez
[09:53] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, yah .. if you have a love letter and you want to save for old age , you copy it and sasve the original... then years later you want to replace the original with the copy ... what do you do ?
[09:53] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: hire a hooker?
[09:53] <chronoAZ> keep ya pants on
[09:53] <livingdaylight> wow, its getting steamy in here
[09:54] <wickedpuppy> mnepton, that would be a good choice .. unfortunately you cant hire one if your backup is screwed in real life ..
[09:54] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, see my point ? forget the buzzwords ...
[09:57] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: now, i just need to find the xorg_backup
[09:57] <livingdaylight> Anyone know where the xorg_backup is kept when attempting to enable 3d. After sudo enable nvidia-glx and Cnt+Alt+Backspace the xorg file is backed up and kept where? it was /var or /opt but alas i didn't write it down coz i thought i'd remember or even thought it would just work (i'm so dumb)
[09:58] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, if you didn't backed it up ... then there isn't one ..
[09:59] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: no, there is. Cos after the command sudo enable nvidia-glx in command line before it told me to contr. alt backspace it said that a copy was backed up in /var or /opt i just don't remember which
[09:59] <livingdaylight> !nvidia
[09:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:59] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, try this "sudo find / -name "*xorg.conf*" -print"
[09:59] <livingdaylight> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:00] <wickedpuppy> it will try to find that contains the word xorg.conf ...
[10:00] <livingdaylight> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia #10
[10:00] <MaKaTiGuY^> can someone help me to configure amarok. no sound
[10:01] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, i installed my nvidia from nvidia.com ... not repo .. so i can't help ya there
[10:02] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: well, thing is i'm in a differnt os right now due to not being able to get in. So, unless i mount /dev/sdb1 ...I thought once i had what i needed of going into revover mode of my install on /dev/sdb1
[10:02] <wickedpuppy> can do the command i showed ya ??
[10:02] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, how many files you need to recover ?
[10:03] <livingdaylight> i just cant boot in fullstop.
[10:03] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: what mp3 are you using?
[10:03] <levander> Has anyone's machine ever crashed with this being the last message in syslog (well, just before an IMAP login message): "modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command for sound_slot_0"?
[10:03] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: but i presume its just my xorg.i need to restore
[10:03] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, if you can't boot ... why bother with nvidia ? you got more pressing problems than X
[10:03] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: none... or do you mean what to use to play mp3 files ? xmms
[10:03] <wickedpuppy> no .. xorg doesn't prevent you from booting..it will drop you in the shell
[10:04] <MaKaTiGuY^> ya
[10:04] <livingdaylight> wickedpuppy: ohh..geezus. how could enableing nvidia kill my whole os?
[10:04] <wickedpuppy> livingdaylight, nvidia doesn't ... if it does half the people won't be here
[10:05] <oskude> livingdaylight: how about changin "nvidia" to "nv" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[10:05] <wickedpuppy> i myself won't be talking to you
[10:06] <livingdaylight> oskude: gues thats worth a try. I just thought i'd restore my xbackup which aguess is another way of going about it. but as wickedpuppy suggests if i'm not booting in full stop then there are other issues than X
[10:07] <wickedpuppy> btw how you change nvidia to nv if you can't boot into it??
[10:07] <wickedpuppy> i am very very curious about that one
[10:07] <wickedpuppy> mount it ?
[10:07] <oskude> livingdaylight: i dont know what that script does (or if it backups) i normally just do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" and change "nv" to "nvidia" in xorg.conf and restart gdm, ready.
[10:07] <livingdaylight> yea, mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[10:07] <livingdaylight> oskude: yes, it backsup
[10:08] <livingdaylight> oskude: sounds like the easy way -  i followed this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:09] <livingdaylight> oskude: i did install nvidika-glx of course but after that i did other things
[10:10] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: boot to rescue mode or a lower runlevel
[10:10] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: or off a live cd, or ...
[10:10] <oskude> livingdaylight: if it doesnt work, i would look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues... (WW) and (EE)
[10:10] <wickedpuppy> mnepton, true .. but i was thinking how he going to ask us for help if he can't use irc ?
[10:11] <wickedpuppy> he will be rebooting .. if got lost come back here ... then reboot ... and so on
[10:11] <Vuen> !agetty
[10:11] <livingdaylight> oskude: ok, thx
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about agetty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: CLI clients exist for IRC (i'm using one) ;)
[10:11] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: irssi is installed by default
[10:11] <CromagDK> <--- irssi
[10:12] <wickedpuppy> mnepton, honestly ... i be surprised if people can stand irssi in trouble .. especially for newbies
[10:12] <crimsun> mnepton: through dapper, yes.
[10:13] <crimsun> irssi is no longer seeded in -desktop
[10:13] <mnepton> crimsun: i thought that was still under spec review
[10:13] <wickedpuppy> if i were needing help and getting help from irssi , without knowing irssi ... that will means a broken monitor ... or thats just me :P
[10:13] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude:  what .rpm
[10:13] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: ? rpm ?
[10:13] <crimsun> mnepton: just check the reverse dependencies for irssi.
[10:13] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: thankfully not every user has such anger management issues ;)
[10:14] <mnepton> crimsun: oh, i know what they are, i assure you :)
[10:14] <wickedpuppy> mnepton, yah .. i myself is glad ... i havn't received any hatemails so far ..
[10:14] <mnepton> wickedpuppy: or you have an aggressive spam filter :D
[10:14] <wickedpuppy> possible :P
[10:14] <elkbuntu> either way, hatemail can be arranged ;)
[10:15] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: i downloaded limewire for linux, but i dont know how to install it
[10:15] <snoop> anyone know the path for your sound driver?
[10:15] <mnepton> MaKaTiGuY^: try gtk-gnutella before you go through the JVM hoops for Limewire
[10:15] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: if thats not an ubuntu dapper .deb package, forget it!
[10:15] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: its not
[10:15] <oskude> !frostwire > MaKaTiGuY^
[10:16] <snoop> anyone know the path for your sound driver?
[10:16] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: maybe thats better
[10:16] <mnepton> MaKaTiGuY^: do you have a JVM/JRE installed? the GTK bindings for Java? proper $PATH statements set up for the JVM?
[10:17] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude:  i cant play my video files
[10:18] <MaKaTiGuY^> what player should i use
[10:18] <oskude> !video > MaKaTiGuY^
[10:18] <wickedpuppy> vlc!!!!
[10:18] <oskude> snoop: maybe somewhere in /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/drivers/
[10:19] <oskude> snoop: or maybe here /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/sound/
[10:20] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: dunno what you "should" use... i use mplayer
[10:20] <snoop> oskude: you sure?
[10:20] <oskude> snoop: sure about what ?
[10:20] <snoop> about what u just said
[10:21] <oskude> snoop: well, i said "maybe"...
[10:22] <oskude> snoop: oh wait, you asked where my sound drivers is, ok, im sure its here /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko
[10:22] <nomin> #winehq
[10:22] <oskude> snoop: or to be 100% correct for atm running kernel: /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-k7/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko
[10:23] <snoop> K7?
[10:23] <oskude> snoop: yes, i have an athlon processor...
[10:24] <wickedpuppy> is it me or ubuntu doesn't have ident ?
[10:24] <Sakara|away> tell sakara about ubuntu
[10:24] <Sakara|away> !tell sakara about ubuntu
[10:24] <Sakara|away> how do you use the bot in here?
[10:24] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: totem mplayer or just mplayer
[10:24] <oskude> Sakara:  /msg ubotu blah
[10:25] <Sakara> kk thanks
[10:25] <Sakara> what is the bot using?
[10:25] <Sakara> software?
[10:25] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: to be exact, i use mplayer-k7
[10:25] <oskude> Sakara: dunno
[10:25] <oskude> !away > Sakara
[10:25] <crimsun> snoop: for i in $(cat /proc/asound/modules|awk '{print $2}'); do modinfo $i|grep ^filename; done
[10:26] <snoop> ?
[10:26] <crimsun> < snoop> anyone know the path for your sound driver?
[10:26] <snoop> ok
[10:26] <snoop> ?
[10:26] <crimsun> that's the path(s)
[10:26] <crimsun> paste that command verbatim, and you'll get the path(s)
[10:27] <snoop> bash: cd: /proc/asound/module: No such file or directory
[10:27] <crimsun> snoop: note your typo.
[10:27] <snoop> where
[10:27] <crimsun> the modules is plural.
[10:27] <wickedpuppy> its modules ...
[10:27] <wickedpuppy> i would copy and paste if i were you ...
[10:27] <snoop> u typed that typo :P
[10:27] <crimsun> no I didn't.
[10:27] <oskude> !tab > snoop
[10:28] <wickedpuppy> snoop, look up ...
[10:28] <snoop> bash: cd: /proc/asound/modules: Not a director
[10:28] <snoop> y
[10:28] <wickedpuppy> why cd ?
[10:28] <crimsun> why don't you just copy and paste the command I gave you?
[10:28] <wickedpuppy> its cat ...
[10:29] <POVaddct> snoop: there even wasn't a "cd" command in what crimsun typed. you have at least one typo.
[10:29] <wickedpuppy> cat to cd ? i don't think its typo ... typo would be cad ..
[10:29] <snoop> damn alright dont gang up on me now :P
[10:30] <wickedpuppy> snoop, copy ... paste .. enter
[10:33] <snoop> im trying to get sound working in TeamSpeak but it tells me to enter the path of my sound driver
[10:33] <weex> oskude: i think beagle will work well...i even put in the firefox extension...do you use it?
[10:33] <oskude> weex: nope
[10:33] <nomeata> Hi. Just curious: is there someting like popularity-contest on ubuntu?
[10:34] <wickedpuppy> snoop, surely you have the path of the sound driver now ?
[10:34] <crimsun> snoop: I'm pretty sure you'll want /dev/dsp (or /dev/dsp1 if you have and want to use the second card)
[10:34] <crimsun> that is, unless teamspeak has suddenly added native alsa support
[10:34] <oskude> weex: but only cause i very hardly search text in files (i use grep for that), so i dont need that "bloat"... but i heard only good things about beagle...
[10:35] <barata> hallo guys, any of you can make your laptop read the SD card slot?
[10:35] <weex> oskude: yeah grep can work but i wanted to index everything so it'd be faster, wouldn't have to read all the data
[10:36] <snoops> let me be the thorn in your side then oskude by saying I find beagle too slow to be practical and can't stand the implementation of it within nautilus..
[10:36] <snoops> obviously it'll speed up in time..but still
[10:37] <snoop> crimsun: ?
[10:37] <oskude> just use what fits your needs!
[10:37] <snoop> the card im using is via
[10:37] <crimsun> snoop: yes?
[10:38] <mike_stern> how cna i download/install mysql package ?
[10:38] <oskude> mike_stern: you mean mysql-server ?
[10:39] <boink> mike: apt-cache search mysql first
[10:39] <boink> then install what you need from that list
[10:39] <weex> snoops: what do you use then? i found something else called libferris
[10:39] <oskude> !synaptic > mike_stern
[10:40] <LBNo> re
[10:40] <LBNo> re
[10:40] <mike_stern> i need to install all the mysql package
[10:40] <snoops> I end up using find or locate most of the time.. I'm going to give glscube a go, since it seems more my thing
[10:40] <boink> mike_stern: then install it
[10:40] <Flannel> mike_stern: you looking to set it up with apache and stuff? or just mysql on it's own?
[10:40] <s-toned> Is there a software in gnome comparable to khotkeys?
[10:40] <oskude> mike_stern: read what ubotu send you, and then search for the myslq packages you need...
[10:41] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: windows emulator, can u suggest?
[10:41] <mike_stern> just mysql alone
[10:41] <boink> the server or the client?
[10:41] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: wine is the most popular...
[10:41] <Flannel> mike_stern: just mysql-server should do it then
[10:42] <boink> you're a little vague here, mike_stern
[10:42] <boink> and which version? 4.1 or 5?
[10:42] <MaKaTiGuY^> oskude: i already installed wine, but i acnt find it
[10:42] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, type wine at the command line
[10:43] <oskude> MaKaTiGuY^: sorry, i dont use wine...
[10:43] <mike_stern> 5
[10:43] <boink> mysql-server-5.0 - mysql database server binaries
[10:43] <boink> then apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[10:44] <mike_stern> only this will get mysql installe?
[10:44] <mike_stern> apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[10:44] <boink> yes
[10:44] <mike_stern> E: Couldn't find package mysql-server-5.0
[10:44] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: what is the parameter? wine?
[10:44] <oskude> mysql-server = 5.x
[10:44] <boink> then you need to adjust your /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:44] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, you are trying to find wine or trying to run a program with wine ?
[10:45] <MaKaTiGuY^> trying to run a program with wine
[10:45] <boink> it just worked fine for me
[10:45] <mike_stern> can someone give me an updated list of sources.list?
[10:45] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, then go to the dir with .exe and type wine file.exe
[10:45] <wickedpuppy> thats how i remembered ...
[10:45] <wickedpuppy> mike_stern, previously from fedora ?
[10:46] <boink> !easysource
[10:46] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:46] <mike_stern> slackware
[10:46] <boink> mike_stern: get your source list from there
[10:46] <boink> under slackware, the apt-get will install all of the dependecies
[10:46] <boink> s/under/unlike/
[10:47] <boink> mysql-server should install quickly, after the download

[10:48] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: how do i do that? there's no command line
[10:49] <kyle_> anyone experienced with ubuntu willing to help me?
[10:49] <wickedpuppy> there is no command line ?
[10:49] <wickedpuppy> i think ...
[10:49] <boink> !ask
[10:49] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:50] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, if there is no command line , then i can't help ... sorry
[10:50] <preaction> MaKaTiGuY^, open a terminal...
[10:50] <wickedpuppy> btw you do know what is command line ... right ?
[10:50] <MaKaTiGuY^> terminal window?
[10:50] <defrysk> cli
[10:50] <wickedpuppy> lol
[10:51] <boink> can the ubuntu kaffeine plugin play wmv/asx files/streams?
[10:51] <wickedpuppy> i ask one person and come out 4 answers
[10:51] <wickedpuppy> let me be the fifth ... shell!
[10:51] <mike_stern> apt-get update wat does it do
[10:51] <wickedpuppy> mike_stern, it updates
[10:51] <boink> it updates the software database
[10:51] <kyle_> cool, so i've got this problem using sudo and i've narrowed it down to a problem with the /etc/hosts file... i started in recovery mode and edited the file but no avail...
[10:51] <boink> mike_stern: man apt-get
[10:52] <oskude> !hostname > kyle_
[10:52] <boink> this is the big advantage in a debian-like system compared to slackware
[10:52] <wickedpuppy> kyle_, gethostbyname() error ?
[10:52] <boink> slackware does have something called "slap-get" which is like apt-get
[10:52] <wickedpuppy> yup .. slapt-get
[10:52] <kyle_> i think the spaces between the localhost.hostname localhost and ___ have to be spaced correctly?
[10:52] <boink> but Patrick V. doesn't like slapt-get :P
[10:52] <Squatch> How do I set preferred apps in KDE?
[10:52] <kyle_> wicked_puppy yes
[10:53] <wickedpuppy> kyle_, i see .. its a common error ..
[10:53] <wickedpuppy> Squatch, #kubuntu pls
[10:53] <kyle_> ubotu just gave me some advice...
[10:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about just gave me some advice... - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:53] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: Unfortunately, nobody ever responds in there, I always try there first, but nobody is ever helpful, but I always find good help here.
[10:53] <sc0tty> hello
[10:53] <sc0tty> anyone using skippy here ?
[10:54] <wickedpuppy> Squatch, of course feel free to ask... :P
[10:54] <matti> :)
[10:54] <oskude> kyle_: but sadly ubotu (hostname) doesnt say the "right" way to change your hostname :/
[10:54] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: Heh, I do, this particular community is great and insanely helpful =).  Makes me happy heh.
[10:54] <sc0tty> I am using skippy, but the snapshots used in the "expos" mode are messed up :(
[10:54] <wickedpuppy> Squatch, you need a girl ..
[10:55] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: lol, what makes you think I don't have one?
[10:55] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: wine qlock.exe ryt?
[10:55] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, are you in the dir with qlock.exe ?
[10:55] <wickedpuppy> then yes
[10:55] <MaKaTiGuY^> yes
[10:55] <kyle_> okude yeah i did edit them both in recovery mode
[10:55] <oskude> kyle_: ah ok, but you still get errors ?
[10:55] <wickedpuppy> Squatch, well ... most geeks have no girl .. i do though :P
[10:56] <kyle_> but i still got the error at startup as well as not being able to use sudo
[10:56] <boink> wickedpuppy: is she a geek too? :)
[10:56] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: Heh, you're right.  I'm engaged though ;).  I'm surrounded by single geeks though, I go to DigiPen (Video Game Programming School).
[10:56] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: qlock it doesnt open
[10:57] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: Heck yes!  She's learning, even plays World of Warcraft with me heh.
[10:57] <wickedpuppy> boink, she is a bio engineer ..... far away from geekdom .. i have no wish for a vi versus emacs flamewar in bed
[10:57] <Gosty> HI! Is a vocabulary for ubuntu?
[10:57] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: bwahaha, I can completely understand that sentiment =)
[10:57] <oskude> kyle_: hmm, heres how my files look like /etc/hostname has "foobar" and /etc/hosts has "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost foobar"
[10:58] <wickedpuppy> Squatch, digipen!! thats one kick-ass school .. good luck on your future!!!!!! I wish you all the best ..
[10:58] <Squatch> wickedpuppy: Hehe, thank you, I'm struggling through my senior year, finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel ;).
[10:58] <wickedpuppy> :)
[10:59] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, sorry ... qlock doesn't open ? any error ?
[11:00] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: no errors
[11:00] <wickedpuppy> Gosty, could you rephrase your question ?
[11:00] <MaKaTiGuY^> no activity
[11:00] <kyle_> ok that's interesting because my /etc/hosts is different. "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost banger"
[11:00] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: no activity at all
[11:00] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, no errors ? just doesn't open ... no idea then
[11:01] <spocky> hi
[11:01] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: should i reboot my pc?
[11:01] <oskude> kyle_: i think you could remove the second localhost (or localhost.localdomain)
[11:01] <kyle_> i'm going to restart, edit, and see if changing it will fix that
[11:01] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY^, you can try but i don't think it will work
[11:02] <MaKaTiGuY^> wicked: i typed wine qlock.exe but it doesnt open
[11:02] <dbzdeath>  hey could anyone help me with the audigy i recently installed? i keep getting crackling sounds with xmms when using alsa

[11:07] <wickedpuppy> we have language channels
[11:07] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: for slovak too? :DD
[11:07] <wickedpuppy> !sl
[11:07] <ubotu> sl: Correct you if you type `sl' by mistake. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.03-14 (dapper), package size 15 kB, installed size 132 kB
[11:07] <wickedpuppy> lol
[11:07] <wickedpuppy> whats ya country code ?
[11:08] <wickedpuppy> sl ? sv ?

[11:11] <lansing> ya
[11:11] <lansing> lol
[11:12] <wickedpuppy> lansing, you been asking here for sometimes right ?
[11:13] <lansing> yes but id rather talk to som one then to be referrd to a site
[11:13] <MaKaTiGuY> wicked: winefile or wine?
[11:13] <wickedpuppy> no no .. i won't ask you to go to a site .. but what have you learnt ? cause i am seeing people coming back for more ...
[11:14] <wickedpuppy> MaKaTiGuY, wine file.exe ... if that doesn't work then you got to ask a wine pro
[11:14] <MaKaTiGuY> wicked: tnx
[11:14] <lansing> ive learnt a lil on how to use linux
[11:14] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: sk
[11:14] <kyle_> oskude: it worked, thank you
[11:14] <wickedpuppy> !sk
[11:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:14] <wickedpuppy> opps
[11:14] <lansing> but not enoughe to be on my own yet
[11:15] <wickedpuppy> no langage for ya
[11:15] <oskude> kyle_: what did you do ?
[11:15] <__gotcha> which character-mode hex editor should I use on Breezy ?
[11:15] <kyle_> removed localhost.localdomain
[11:15] <wickedpuppy> k lansing ... for such files , its likely a dot file in your home ... so do this ls -al ... look at all the files that start with .
[11:15] <wickedpuppy> lansing, can think of a particular dir ?
[11:15] <oskude> kyle_: ok, nice to know, thanx!
[11:16] <kyle_> np
[11:16] <lansing> umm
[11:16] <__gotcha> or hex viewer ?
[11:17] <lansing> have no iderz
[11:17] <mrpheus> does flashget work with wine?
[11:17] <preaction> is there a linux port of BSD's packetfilter?
[11:17] <wickedpuppy> lansing, clearly the best bet is .firefox .. but no such thing .. what about .mozilla ?? do you see it ?
[11:18] <oskude> preaction: is that something else than "iptables" ?
[11:18] <lansing> ive got it i think
[11:18] <preaction> oskude, i believe it accomplishes the same goals, but better
[11:18] <wickedpuppy> so lansing what is the name of the file ?
[11:19] <preaction> oskude, i also believe that it has more features in the Queuing and Scheduling aspects
[11:19] <oskude> preaction: ok... well, apt-cache search paketfilter didnt give any results...
[11:19] <lansing> mozilla i think
[11:19] <lansing> ??
[11:19] <wickedpuppy> lansing, .mozilla is a directory ...
[11:20] <lansing> o
[11:20] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: and something like program?
[11:20] <wickedpuppy> Gosty, .mozilla ? program? nope .. it starts with  .
[11:20] <mrpheus> idiots
[11:20] <oskude> lansing: a dot "." before a file/dir name means its handled as "hidden" file/dir by bash and file managers...
[11:21] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: bud dictionary i put verb in slovak and it return me verb in english
[11:21] <lansing> o ok ill get use to this after i use it for awhile
[11:21] <wickedpuppy> Gosty, eh ah .. isn't it what you want ? translating from sloval -> english
[11:22] <wickedpuppy> lansing, btw the colours are different between file and dir...
[11:22] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: yes
[11:22] <wickedpuppy> Gosty, then everything is fine :P
[11:22] <preaction> oskude, looks like i'm stuck with iptables, which i do not understand at all (and all attempts at RTFM lead nowhere)
[11:22] <lansing> i learn stuff by doin it my self iam not like others where they see it n learnt it
[11:23] <lansing> o ok thats good to knop
[11:23] <Gosty> wickedpuppy: so can i  have the program?
[11:23] <wickedpuppy> Gosty, thats a translator ... no idea about that one .. pls search for it in synaptic
[11:23] <oskude> preaction: and paketfilter is easier ?
[11:23] <oskude> !iptables > preaction
[11:23] <MaKaTiGuY> can someone help me to use wine
[11:24] <Vuen> hey guys, quick question, how do i view the permissions on a file?
[11:24] <preaction> Vuen, ls -l
[11:25] <Vuen> mm thanks
[11:25] <pandamonium> my ubuntu box is going weird
[11:25] <pandamonium> lsat night it completely froze up
[11:25] <pandamonium> this morning whenever i moved the mouse the cursor shot around the screen opening stuff up at random
[11:26] <pandamonium> i shut it down from a remote box
[11:26] <oskude> pandamonium: could be a faulty hardware... can you test another mouse or so ?
[11:26] <pandamonium> oskude, i have the same mouse connected to another machine through KVM and it's fine there
[11:27] <oskude> pandamonium: hmm, and keyboard works too on another machine ?
[11:27] <pandamonium> yes
[11:27] <Vuen> aarrgh
[11:27] <Vuen> i can't get svnserve to work with xinetd
[11:27] <Vuen> frustration
[11:27] <pandamonium> oskude, they're both working now, i'm using the ubuntu box
[11:28] <pandamonium> but the task bar is all over the place
[11:28] <oskude> pandamonium: and youre using ubuntu dapper ?
[11:28] <morphix> anyone know how to get btg+webbtg working in ubuntu?
[11:28] <pandamonium> is that the latest?
[11:28] <pandamonium> i'm using kubuntu
[11:28] <mnepton> Vuen: use bzr :P
[11:28] <oskude> pandamonium: yes, atm (but theres also edgy beta)
[11:28] <Vuen> !bzr
[11:28] <ubotu> bzr is Bazaar-NG, a decentralized revision control system designed to be easy for developers and end users alike. Decentralized revision control systems give people the ability to work over the internet using the bazaar development model.
[11:28] <oskude> !kubuntu > pandamonium
[11:29] <pandamonium> yeah, i installed the kde over it
[11:29] <Vuen> mnepton, that's not the problem
[11:29] <mnepton> Vuen: http://bazaar-vcs.org/
[11:29] <pandamonium> because gnome kept crashing
[11:29] <pandamonium> and i was sick of seeing that foot everywhere :p
[11:29] <Vuen> it doesn't matter what the program is, it's the fact that my configuration changes to xinetd aren't taking effect
[11:29] <Vuen> xinetd is not listening on the ports it should
[11:29] <mnepton> Vuen: the problem is getting the centralized source server set uo. bzr requires no central server.
[11:30] <oskude> pandamonium: well, if youre using kubuntu, thar help ist at #kubuntu
[11:30] <oskude> pandamonium: i dont know anything about kde, except some programs...
[11:30] <pandamonium> ah, ok... will try there
[11:30] <pandamonium> oskude, it's really nice :) except when the mouse goes bonkers!
[11:31] <shorthorns> Hi
[11:31] <oskude> pandamonium: i dont like kde as desktop, just some qt programs... (but lets leave this to that)
[11:33] <Vuen> question, will xinetd allow me to run a service as root?
[11:34] <fyrestrtr> Vuen: sure it can, but you can do that with normal init.d scripts
[11:35] <mnepton> Vuen: you should start necessary services with invoke-rc.d
[11:36] <Vuen> finally got it working
[11:38] <Rockj> http://pastebin.ca/199026 , anyone can help me with getting dual screen to work? cloned works as default..
[11:39] <kfir> hi! I wourld like to install hebrew support on my ubuntu machine. When executing "consolechars -f  iso08.f16 -m iso08", i get "set_kernel_font: Invalid argument"
[11:39] <kfir> any ideas?
[11:39] <Riot777> hello
[11:39] <oskude> Rockj: never done that, but maybe this can help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[11:40] <mnepton> kfir: why not just install the language pack?
[11:41] <Rockj> oskude: thanks, I'll try it out :)
[11:41] <Perham> i have suse 10.1 oss and windows XP installed. iwant to install ubuntu 6.06 dapper drake. i have a question
[11:42] <Perham> can i use the swap partition of suse for ubuntu? so they share the swap partition?
[11:42] <oskude> Perham: yes
[11:42] <Perham> when i install ubuntu should i install rub(or lilo) again?
[11:43] <parix> Perham, it should do that for you
[11:43] <parix> install grub that is
[11:43] <oskude> Perham: ubuntu uses grub as default
[11:43] <Perham>  so do that support my old suse? i want a triple boot
[11:43] <oskude> Perham: does your suse use lilo ?
[11:43] <Perham> no,grub
[11:44] <oskude> Perham: hmm, then ubuntu install should find that and add it to the grub menu that it installs...
[11:44] <hoelk> hmm
[11:44] <Perham> thanks for your help!
[11:44] <Perham> bye for now.
[11:44] <frogzoo> Perham: yup
[11:44] <oskude> Perham: ubuntu atleas finds other installations of ubuntu, but i never tested with other distros...
[11:44] <hoelk> does any amarok user that also uses the replaygain script happen to be here?
[11:45] <frogzoo> anyone else get strange windows failures under kqemu ?
[11:46] <kfir> mnepton: could you please elaborate (i'm a newbie)
[11:46] <mabus> my MBR can never get too messed up to fix can it?
[11:47] <oskude> !mbr > mabus
[11:48] <oskude> mabus: but i dont really understand what you ask...
[11:48] <mabus> oskude: I mean, somebody is advising me against installing solaris on my personal box which already has windows and ubuntu.
[11:49] <oskude> mabus: aha... i know nothing about solaris...
[11:49] <JUNAIDJANUDA> Hi i have just started using ubuntu but am having problems connecting to windows network which uses MS Firewall client and ISA server
[11:49] <mabus> But I need to have the experience of setting up solaris and apache/ftpd on it, so I can do it on a server box for a friend/client in 2 weeks
[11:49] <mabus> oskude: the question is about the MBR not solaris
[11:50] <oskude> mabus: yeah, and that i didnt undestand, could you rephrase ?
[11:50] <mabus> Can it be messed up beyond reapir
[11:50] <mabus> s/reap/repa/
[11:50] <kfir> mnepton, are you still here?
[11:50] <oskude> mabus: you can "mess" anything beyond repair... but i never had really broken mbr in my 20year pc usage...
[11:51] <oskude> mabus: you may lose the data in mbr, but when it really breaks, your whole hd will be uselsess...
[11:51] <kfir> hi! I wourld like to install hebrew support on my ubuntu machine. When executing "consolechars -f  iso08.f16 -m iso08", i get "set_kernel_font: Invalid argument"
[11:52] <mabus> oskude: well in your opinion, would installing an OS in a proper fashion cause my MBR to be totalled? I don't think so, but this guy insists I am asking for trouble.
[11:53] <oskude> kfir: and why dont you use System > Administration > Language Support ?
[11:53] <oskude> mabus: then let him explain why youre in trouble
[11:53] <fyrestrtr> mabus: if a MBR is "messed up", reinstall grub can fix it, or running chkdsk /fixmbr from a Windows recovery console.
[11:53] <fyrestrtr> mabus: or you can use a boot disk instead of a MBR
[11:54] <po0f> mabus: Backup the MBR with this command `dd if=/dev/hdX of=mbr.bak bs=512 count=1` and restore with this command `dd if=mbr.bak of=/dev/hdX bs=512 count=1`.
[11:55] <po0f> mabus: You'll still need a live cd of some sort to boot if the MBR is fubar.
[11:55] <mnepton> kfir: yup, still here
[11:56] <mabus> ok thanks
[11:56] <mabus> you'll see me crying in here later if that is teh case!
[11:56] <po0f> mabus: And it's only asking for trouble if you say pretty please.  :)
[11:57] <mnepton> mabus: installing Windows in the normal fashion will certainly toast your MBR. MS overwrites anything in the MBR with ntloadr and never asks or prompts.
[11:57] <mabus> windows is already on
[11:57] <oskude> mabus: you mean if solaris brakes your machine you come here ?!
[11:57] <mabus> windows _ ubuntu is working smoothly
[11:57] <mnepton> mabus: then GRUB will only touch the MBR if you specifically tell it to
[11:57] <augnob> crushjane: hi
[11:57] <mabus> s/_/+/
[11:58] <mabus> mnepton: but I'm not aware if solaris is going to try to screw it it, I'm just wondering if it does, can I fix it. this has been answered
[11:58] <mabus> with it..
[11:58] <mnepton> mabus: Solaris? on x86? dude ... don't.
[11:58] <mabus> man, this 10 second lag between typing a character and seeing it is making me type like a 14 y/o aoler
[11:58] <mabus> mnepton: why is that? they have a x86 solaris 10
[11:58] <po0f> mabus: What's up with that?
[11:59] <mabus> po0f: connecting trhough a shell, upload bandwidth being used by torrents
[11:59] <mnepton> d3wd ur typ-ng sux lol zomg rofl add
[11:59] <Burnt-out> hi all
[11:59] <Vuen> wow.
[11:59] <mnepton> mabus: Solaris on x86 is slow as hell
[11:59] <Vuen> i just realized that absolutely everything on my computer is working.
[11:59] <mabus> that is not important
[11:59] <Vuen> i've got the nvidia beta drivers working
[11:59] <oskude> mabus, theres #solaris and #opensolaris on this networks... just a tip ;)
[11:59] <mabus> I just want to install it, install and configure apache and a ftpd
[11:59] <Vuen> i've got beryl fully working
[11:59] <po0f> Vuen: Install Gentoo.  ;)
[11:59] <mabus> once it works fine, I want to remove it.
[12:00] <Vuen> i've got ssh and nx fully working
[12:00] <mabus> oskude: I know but they are dead and it is not a solaris question.
[12:00] <Vuen> i've got samba finally working, i've got svnserve finally working... my god, everything works!
[12:00] <Burnt-out> anyone that can help with setting ubuntu to be a router?
[12:00] <mabus> I didn't ask "will solaris try to change the mbr"
[12:00] <Vuen> this is incredible!
[12:00] <mnepton> *vomits, even
[12:00] <oskude> mabus: oh, then i missunderstand you about asking if solaris will break your mbr...
[12:00] <Vuen> i am so impressed right now. i am beaming.
[12:01] <mabus> no, if something *such as solaris* changed my mbr undesirably, could I change it back
[12:01] <mnepton> Vuen: my PayPal address is ....
[12:01] <mnepton> mabus: easiest way is from recovery mode of an Ubuntu LiveCD
[12:01] <oskude> mabus: well, this channel is for ubuntu support, so stay on topic...
[12:01] <shinobi2> what's a good cdrw burning software for ubuntu? i need to burn an distro's iso image
[12:01] <mnepton> shinobi2: gnomebaker
[12:01] <Burnt-out> anyone that can help with setting ubuntu to be a router?
[12:01] <Vuen> shinobi2, k3b
[12:01] <mnepton> shinobi2: but you don;t need that for an .iso
[12:02] <hyby> can anyone assist me with audio problems?
[12:02] <mnepton> shinobi2: just right-click the .iso file
[12:02] <mabus> oskude: well my only livecd that lets my nic work out of the box is xubuntu, so it's on topic...
[12:02] <po0f> oskude: Would the question have been more valid if he installed WIndows and wondered what happened to his MBR?  You would probably be more forgiving then.
[12:02] <oskude> shinobi2: right click on the iso, and select "burn to cd" orsomtehing like that...
[12:02] <oskude> mabus: xubuntu != ubuntu, i think they have their own channel
[12:02] <Vuen> shinobi2, use k3b, it's the greatest cd burning software in existence
[12:03] <oskude> po0f: no, i would have just igoner that...
[12:03] <mabus> oskude: For all intents and purposes, xubuntu == ubuntu
[12:03] <mnepton> Vuen: he may not want all the QT and KDE libs installed just to burn a CD ;)
[12:03] <mabus> When I'm not talking about the gui.
[12:03] <Vuen> mnepton, it's totally worth it
[12:03] <mnepton> Vuen: not to me, it ain't ;)
[12:03] <Vuen> :p
[12:03] <oskude> mabus: yes, maybe under the hood, but not in support, or am i wrong ?
[12:04] <mabus> oskude: nope, ubuntu > xubuntu for support
[12:04] <Vuen> oskude, the xubuntu is just ubuntu with a different manager
[12:04] <Vuen> it's a bit rude to ask him to go to xubuntu when his question is unrelated to xfce and there are almost twenty times as many people here
[12:04] <oskude> Vuen: i know, but does this channel include support of all thos FOOubuntu ?
[12:04] <mabus> so for stuff liek booting, which happens before the DM/WM is even started up, it's irrelevant whether I ask in kubunut, ubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, what have you.
[12:04] <Vuen> well, yes, it does
[12:04] <defrysk> mnepton, rightclick the iso in nautilus and burn it ;)
[12:04] <po0f> The forums do, why not here?
[12:05] <oskude> ok ...
[12:05] <mnepton> are we really having an off-topic discussion about what is or is not off-topic?
[12:05] <mnepton> defrysk: uhhh ... wha'?
[12:05] <hyby> i was wondering if anyone here has an intel ICH6 soundcard and has managed to get sound
[12:05] <defrysk> mnepton, sorry wrong person ;p
[12:05] <defrysk> nm
[12:05] <Trackilizer> My PC won't load into ubuntu, the boot screen comes up and after that the screen goes blank and i have to reset..... i tried changing the RAM and the harddrive but still no luck.
[12:05] <shinobi2> thx mnepton, Vuen, oskude
[12:05] <Vuen> ouch
[12:06] <po0f> Trackilizer: What's the last thing you see?
[12:06] <mnepton> Trackilizer: grfx controller?
[12:06] <mabus> Trackilizer: have you installed it yet? or are you just talking about the cd? do you have any operating system on your computer yet?
[12:06] <Vuen> lol
[12:06] <Trackilizer> I have ubuntu installed
[12:06] <Trackilizer> but this happens when trying a LiveCd aswell
[12:06] <Vuen> mmm
[12:06] <mnepton> Trackilizer: is it booted now?
[12:07] <Trackilizer> no, using my laptop ti wirte this
[12:07] <Vuen> Trackilizer, how did you manage to install ubuntu if the livecd doesn't work? are you using the alternate cd?
[12:07] <mabus> so what "boot screen" comes up. ubuntu's? or your motherboard/bios manufacturer's logo?
[12:07] <mnepton> Trackilizer: but is the other machine booted?
[12:07] <Trackilizer> It worked fine until about a week ago
[12:07] <Vuen> ah
[12:07] <Trackilizer> No, it is not booted
[12:07] <defrysk> hardware
[12:07] <Vuen> did you change any hardware recently?
[12:07] <Vuen> did you try a memtest?
[12:07] <Trackilizer> No
[12:08] <Vuen> boot from the livecd and choose memtest
[12:08] <cbx33> this is gonna sound stupid
[12:08] <Vuen> instead of starting the operating system
[12:08] <mnepton> Trackilizer: sounds like your xorg.conf might have syphilis
[12:08] <po0f> Trackilizer: Do you remember if a kernel was updated between when it was working and when it started acting up?
[12:08] <defrysk> got a new vidcard or something ?
[12:08] <cbx33> how do people theme the applications/places/system bar at the top?
[12:08] <mnepton> cbx33: right click it
[12:08] <Vuen> mnepton, po0f, neither of those make sense, the livecd stopped working too
[12:08] <Trackilizer> Well, i thought it was my xorg file, but the same thing happens when i try a knoppix liveCD
[12:08] <ProN00b> cbx33, i hope you are not planning to set a apple logo on it
[12:08] <cbx33> what about changing the font colour?
[12:09] <cbx33> Noooooooooooo
[12:09] <mnepton> Trackilizer: then you need to look carefully at BIOS settings relating to video, and at your video card.
[12:09] <cbx33> not at all....I'm an ubu through and through
[12:09] <ProN00b> cbx33, ya ryte
[12:09] <cbx33> I just wonder how to change the font colour
[12:09] <Vuen> Trackilizer, boot from the livecd and do a memtest. if you haven't changed any hardware or bios settings and suddenly livecds don't work anymore, something's gone bad.
[12:09] <defrysk> Trackilizer, also check for dust
[12:09] <Burnt-out> trackilizer: r u using ati or Nvidea graphics card
[12:09] <Trackilizer> mnepton, it's arather old PC... with only 256MB of RAM and a 1.5GHZ CPU.... and video onboard
[12:10] <cbx33> ProN00b - I'm an I develop applications for edubuntu
[12:10] <mnepton> Trackilizer: got a spare PCI/AGP vidcard kicking around?
[12:10] <Trackilizer> yes
[12:10] <mnepton> try that
[12:10] <Trackilizer> ok, i'll try what you guys suggested and be back in a bit
[12:10] <ProN00b> cbx33, i guess font color is the font color from your system theme
[12:11] <Vuen> defrysk, yes, Trackilizer definitely check for dust. Try taking the video card out and putting it back in
[12:11] <Vuen> it could just be dirty
[12:13] <lucasvo> hi
[12:13] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, personally i use
[12:13] <ProN00b> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXT_IF -j MASQUERADE
[12:13] <ProN00b> echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[12:13] <Vuen> mmm, gotta wake up for a meeting in 2 hours. :/
[12:13] <Vuen> night #ubuntu
[12:14] <ProN00b> and replace $EXT_IF with the interface my internet is connected to (ppp0 or eth0 or whatever)
[12:14] <lucasvo> I try to install ubuntu on my notebook. but repeatedly says: Disabling IRQ 15.
[12:14] <Burnt-out> ProN00b: is there a gui utility as i am new to linux, I have a Mikrotik router that has a wonderful web interface...is there nothing similar for ubuntu
[12:15] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, why not use your router ? oO
[12:15] <Burnt-out> i am but we are in a remote area and that is sending the wireless signal to our diffirent offices
[12:17] <Burnt-out> we are on a farm near the central kalahari thus great distances need to be bridged with our sat provider, and one is our of reach so i want to set up an old pc as a router that will bridge the two, and i can't get wds to work
[12:18] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, try firestarter
[12:19] <Burnt-out> does it have a gui...
[12:19] <mabus> Burnt-out: firestarter is the gui to iptables
[12:19] <Burnt-out> i find it easier to learn gui than text mode
[12:19] <oskude> Burnt-out: or pick your tool here http://www.roseindia.net/linux/linux-firewall-gui.shtml
[12:19] <Burnt-out> lol ok still new to this all
[12:19] <Burnt-out> will check out the link thanks....
[12:19] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, commandline can be as easy as gui
[12:20] <Pasteurized> hi all
[12:20] <asiakas> joi
[12:20] <Pasteurized> someone can help me with user / goup administration ?
[12:20] <Pasteurized> group*
[12:20] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, sometimes you can just type in two lines to do what you want instead of searching for what you want in a gui tool, remember, this is not windows
[12:21] <oskude> !helpme > Pasteurized
[12:22] <Burnt-out> i have tried cammand line....but finding specific instructions online is not that easy....been trying for the last two weeks with no success....the web server i got setup and that works great...just to set the router was not so easy
[12:22] <mnepton> Burnt-out: the other advanatege the CLI tools have is that then you can modify things remotely.
[12:22] <Jowi> Hi all. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on a mac-mini. rEFIt and bootcamp works fine. Installation of Ubuntu stalls at 50% at the elilo installation. The logs say this "elilo-installer: Couldn't load efivars module - is it statically linked?" Has anyone got any ideas?
[12:22] <ProN00b> well, Burnt-out you have to know what you want to bridge and how
[12:23] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, the two lines i gave you work perfectly to start nat on my box
[12:24] <hyby> i was wondering with my ICH6 sound card do i need to update my kernal and ALSA?
[12:24] <hyby> because i have been having this problem with mandriva 2006 in the past
[12:24] <Pasteurized> I wanted to add an existing group to an user (me) with $ sudo usermod -G ftp tups (tups is the main user), but now I cant go anymore in administration menu of Ubuntu with root password
[12:24] <hyby> i need sound cause of my work..and i am trying to revert to windows
[12:24] <Burnt-out> mnepton:i will try the commands you gave...what tool would i use to log on remotly from a winbox...would i use a terminal program like telnet or somthing similar
[12:24] <oskude> Burnt-out: did you try asking in #iptables ?
[12:25] <Burnt-out> no did not see the channel cos i did not list...went direct to this one as ubuntu web site points to here so came right here
[12:25] <mnepton> Burnt-out: puTTY
[12:25] <ProN00b> Buglouse, yes, like telnet, but preferably not telnet, you better use ssh (apt-get install sshd on the box) and get putty as a client to use from your windows box
[12:25] <oskude> Burnt-out: they even seem to have tutorial link in their topic, im just not interested in networking ;)
[12:25] <ProN00b> *Burnt-out, i mean
[12:26] <Burnt-out> k...will do that and try
[12:26] <mnepton> ProN00b: actually, it's "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" ;)
[12:26] <snowblink> Pasteurized, you need to reboot into singleuser mode and put that user back in the admin group
[12:26] <mabus> "sudo apt-get install ssh"
[12:26] <mabus> ProN00b: Burnt-out: its that
[12:27] <Pasteurized> snowblink: when I type "$ groups" I am in the admin group
[12:28] <snowblink> Pasteurized, cat /etc/group | grep admin
[12:28] <[UNLY] mrp> can anyone help me with win98-samba-dapper?
[12:28] <Burnt-out> k thanx just writing all this down to go try at the site thanx
[12:29] <ProN00b> Burnt-out, you can also enable remote desktop
[12:29] <Pasteurized> snowblink: lpadmin:x:104x and admin:x:106:
[12:29] <ProN00b> System - Preferences - Remote Desktop
[12:29] <ProN00b> (to be accessed with a vnc client)
[12:29] <snowblink> Pasteurized, so you have no one in the admin group. Your current session was, but then you issued that usermod command
[12:30] <mnepton> ladies and gentlemen, i give you Windows Vista - http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/giant_swiss.jpg
[12:30] <[UNLY] mrp> i am trying to connect my win98 workstation to ubuntu via samba which is installed in ubuntu.
[12:31] <ProN00b> mnepton, the only thing swiss about vista are the security holes in it that are as high in numbers as the holes in swiss cheese
[12:31] <Pasteurized> snowblink: should i $ usermod -Ga admin tups ?
[12:31] <Burnt-out> ProN00b: I have done that with success
[12:31] <ProN00b> [UNLY] mrp, who the hell still uses windows98, hurry up and warez windows xp/2k already
[12:32] <snowblink> Pasteurized, next time yes
[12:32] <Pasteurized> snowblink: but I need to reboot before ?
[12:32] <mnepton> ProN00b: "jack of all trades, master of none."
[12:32] <[UNLY] mrp> well its a community project i am doing with donated computers
[12:32] <cbx33> you mean a JOATMON
[12:32] <cbx33> Jack Of All Trades Master Of None
[12:32] <snowblink> Pasteurized, AFAICS no user on your system has sudo rights.
[12:33] <[UNLY] mrp> is it possible to connect with win98?
[12:34] <Pasteurized> what AFAICS means ? (non-english user :) )
[12:34] <mnepton> [UNLY] mrp: is samba-server actually running on the Ubuntu machine? what shares do you have set up? did you edit the samba conf file? if so, can you pastebin it?
[12:35] <mnepton> Pasteurized: As Far As I Can See
[12:35] <Pasteurized> thx !
[12:35] <[UNLY] mrp> samba is installed in ubuntu
[12:35] <mnepton> [UNLY] mrp: great, except i didn't ask that.
[12:35] <Jowi> is it possible to load a kernel module prior to a dapper install?
[12:36] <Shyne_> can anyone tell me how i can downgrade from Edgy to Dapper ?
[12:36] <[UNLY] mrp> its running
[12:36] <mnepton> Jowi: sure. drop to the kernel params screen at boot.
[12:36] <mnepton> eeek! SNET!
[12:36] <[UNLY] mrp> do i need to do anything on the win98 machine?
[12:36] <Pasteurized> snowblink: I dont really anderstand what I should do ... :(
[12:36] <Jowi> mnepton: cool will try that. need efivars module for dapper to install on a intel mac-mini.
[12:37] <snowblink> Pasteurized, you need to reboot into singleuser mode and put that user back in the admin group
[12:37] <Pasteurized> what do you mean by singleuser mode ?
[12:37] <Kameli> Hello, i just bought Quake 2 and i would like to burn it to CD, but i can't copy files from the CD to my hard disk because when i try to open CD with nautilus, it just opens it with some Sound Juicer, help me, how i can browse and copy files from my Quake-CD? :(
[12:37] <mnepton> Kameli: right-click it
[12:38] <Kameli> i can't :(
[12:38] <mnepton> why?
[12:38] <Kameli> even with right click
[12:38] <Kameli> i have tried them all :(
[12:38] <mnepton> nautilus /media/cdrom
[12:38] <mnepton> nautilus /media/cdrom0
[12:38] <mnepton> or whatever
[12:39] <Kameli> hmm
[12:39] <Kameli> it shows it's empty
[12:39] <Shyne_> can i downgrade edgy back to dapper by using the old repositories and doing a dist-upgrade ?????
[12:39] <whaley> Kameli: iirc, the quake2 cd is a combo of data/audio
[12:39] <Kameli> Shyne_: edgy will be out 26th
[12:39] <Kameli> :)
[12:39] <Pasteurized> snowblink: what do you mean by singleuser mode ?
[12:39] <mnepton> Shyne_: not really. best bet is to reinstall off CD.
[12:39] <Kameli> whaley: yes, it is? :)
[12:39] <snowblink> Pasteurized, reboot but add kernel parameter single
[12:39] <Shyne_> hmm
[12:39] <Shyne_> ok
[12:40] <snowblink> Pasteurized, then you will go into a root shell, then add your user back into the admin group
[12:40] <Kameli> whaley: but i can't browse files in CD :/
[12:40] <whaley> Kameli: try remounting it (pop it out and pop it back in again) and right clicking to open it inin nautilus
[12:40] <Shyne_> if i want to get rid of firefox 2.0 and use firefox 1.5 dist version should i change repositories ?
[12:40] <whaley> Kameli: if that fails, we should see if you can get to it from the command line
[12:41] <Kameli> whaley: It works! Many thanks for you! =)
[12:41] <whaley> Kameli: :)
[12:42] <whaley> happy quaking
[12:43] <Pasteurized> thanks snowblink, i'm gonna try
[12:43] <bun-bun> within the synaptic package manager, if you select "complete removal" for a package, does that mean it's going to remove all the dependant packages that it installed?
[12:43] <keikun17> im having a prob with my sound card (built-in on my laptop), it cant be detected by ubuntu, can someone help?
[12:44] <defrysk> its roving everything of the package including the cofiguration
[12:44] <mnepton> bun-bun: no
[12:44] <defrysk> removing*
[12:44] <defrysk> configuration*
[12:44] <oskude> bun-bun: i think that means it removes allso the config files (but i could be wrong)
[12:44] <hyby> keikun17 type lspci -l
[12:44] <hyby> and see whether it comes up?
[12:44] <keikun17> k wait a sec
[12:44] <bun-bun> ty all
[12:45] <hyby> cause i myself and having problems with sound
[12:45] <shinobi2> anyone off hand, if ubuntu's live cd comes with "dd" command?
[12:45] <keikun17> hyb : nope :(
[12:45] <keikun17> hyby : it aint there
[12:45] <Pasteurized> snowblink: I should type $ usermod -Ga admin tups ?
[12:46] <snowblink> Pasteurized, Hopefully in single user mode you have a # instead of $
[12:46] <oskude> shinobi2: propably... afaik its running busybox
[12:46] <Pasteurized> yes snowblink, sorry :)
[12:47] <snowblink> Pasteurized, sure, go ahead and do that, then check /etc/group
[12:47] <shinobi2> oskude: i think so too, cause i did not install too much extra stuff on this box and it has "dd" on it.
[12:48] <keikun17> >_>
[12:48] <adsc> anyone have experience with apache2 in front of zope?
[12:48] <oskude> shinobi2: ah, you mean the installed system ? yes, that definetly has dd
[12:49] <Pasteurized> snowblink: Now I've admin:x:106:tups in /etc/group
[12:49] <snowblink> Pasteurized, good, now you can reboot your system as normal
[12:50] <Pasteurized> all those reboot aren't good for my uptime statistics ;-)
[12:50] <darkanyel> hi
[12:50] <darkanyel> why my webcam is in Black and White???
[12:50] <shinobi2> oskude: i am looking for the live cd right now.  wonder where i put it
[12:51] <hyby> kekun17: what does it say, does it list any sound devices
[12:52] <keikun17> nope
[12:52] <keikun17> no sound device there~
[12:52] <keikun17> how bout you?
[12:54] <hyby> i i have my soundcard appear, Intel ICH6, however i can not get any sound
[12:54] <Pasteurized> it's working now snowblink :) thanks for all mate !
[12:54] <snowblink> Pasteurized, np
[12:55] <keikun17> i have intel sound card too.. but its not showing up
[12:55] <bud_resin> how can i mount an ext3 partition from another harddrive as a user instead of as root?
[12:56] <boink> I think only root can mount drives
[12:56] <boink> and umount them as well
[12:56] <oskude> bud_resin: you have to add it to /etc/fstab and add an option "user" (and maybe others)
[12:56] <boink> aaaah
[12:58] <oskude> bud_resin: and i saw if you add a new mount point with System > Administration > Disks it makes it user mountable automaticly (well, i just tried that once..)
[12:58] <bud_resin> ty
[01:00] <hyby> keikun, check in windoz and see what type of sound card
[01:00] <hyby> are you using dapper
[01:18] <yakumo> hello anyone know how to convert my AVI video to mp4 so i can play it on my psp?
[01:19] <nmsa> hello
[01:21] <gyro54> Can anyone help with a gnome-panel lock up problem?
[01:21] <nmsa> I have a question related to my system: I see from gkrellm every second or so there are operations or r&w on my HDD, constantly, even if I do nothing on pc, how can I check which process is using the HDD?
[01:22] <yakumo> is there any software for ubuntu that convert avi video to mp4? cause i want to play it on my psp
[01:23] <nmsa> yakumo: try ffmpeg
[01:23] <yakumo> is it a converter? or a player?
[01:24] <cpk2> is there a nero type clone avaible in the repos? or anywhere for that matter?
[01:24] <nmsa> do: man ffmpeg: ffmpeg - FFmpeg video converter
[01:25] <gyro54> I can't access any of my drop down menus. When I scoll over them the icon is missing and the computer locks for a period then gives a message gnome-panel has quit unexpectedly. Any ideas??
[01:27] <gyro54> I can access the top menu items but when i move the mouse down the system locks.
[01:27] <yakumo> i download ffmpeg
[01:27] <nmsa> gyro54: can you try: kill -9 `ps aux | grep gnome-panel | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`; gnome-panel
[01:27] <yakumo> what shall i do after i download
[01:28] <nmsa> read the manual of ffmpeg ... is full of options
[01:28] <yakumo> is mplayer also has a converter?
[01:28] <nmsa> no
[01:29] <gyro54> I've detected a panel already running,
[01:29] <gyro54> and will now exit.
[01:29] <gyro54> This was the massage I received. Many times
[01:30] <gyro54> (gnome-panel:8410): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_width > 0' failed
[01:30] <gyro54> (gnome-panel:8410): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 24
[01:31] <gyro54> Does this mean anything??
[01:31] <nmsa> gyro54: not to me, sorry
[01:32] <gyro54> What would you do?
[01:32] <yakumo> how do i copy the content when i use sudo man?
[01:35] <ricanelite> anyone here can help me install Flash Player?
[01:35] <krang> ricanelite: what's the problem?
[01:35] <dakira> any edgy users in the house?
[01:36] <POVaddct> dakira: /join #ubuntu+1
[01:36] <nmsa> gyro54: what version of gnome-panel do you have ?
[01:36] <dakira> POVaddct: ahh thx
[01:36] <ricanelite> dont know how to install it, I have the download file on my desktop
[01:37] <gyro54> What ever is the latest. I have a fully upto date system 6.06
[01:38] <krang> ricanelite: Leave that file there, and apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:39] <ricanelite> so i type that in Terminal?
[01:39] <krang> ricanelite: yup
[01:39] <ricanelite> I'm new to linux so please forgive me
[01:39] <gyro54> can i apt-get repair the gnome panel?
[01:39] <krang> ricanelite: no trouble, it can be hairy at first :-)
[01:40] <nmsa> gyro54: you may want to search ubuntuforums.org, there are a few topics on gnome crashes
[01:40] <nmsa> sorry, more then that I can't help
[01:40] <ricanelite> i get this error message E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[01:40] <ricanelite> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[01:40] <gandolfthewizard> hi looking for some help with installing the java plug in
[01:40] <krang> ricanelite: you'll probably want to type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree". Sorry, forgot you are new
[01:40] <krang> ricanelite: Don't type the quotes
[01:41] <ricanelite> i did'nt
[01:41] <oskude> gyro54: you can reinstall that with "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel"
[01:41] <seshomaru123> hi , my apache stopped working , it seems like another programme is using port80 - how do i find what it is and stop it?
[01:41] <gyro54> I looked for something similar but nothing there. I will look again
[01:41] <krang> ricanelite: the sudo command executes what you type as the superuser, which you need to do when installing stuff
[01:41] <ricanelite> so i type in 'sudo' first then apt
[01:41] <krang> just as it was inside the quotes
[01:42] <M_A_K> For some strange reason, every day I need to change my deffault route on kubuntu.
[01:42] <krang> then press enter
[01:42] <ricanelite> ok
[01:42] <M_A_K> It seems to default to some strange route.
[01:42] <kiko> hola alguien que hable en espaol
[01:42] <krang> ricanelite: Just give it your standard login password when it asks
[01:42] <ricanelite> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[01:42] <ricanelite> E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree
[01:43] <oskude> seshomaru123: "lsof" shows open files (and network connections) but i forgot the flag to that...
[01:43] <krang> ricanelite: ah, you may need extra repositories
[01:43] <nmsa> pentru informarea dvs. avem si canal in limba romana: ubuntu-ro
[01:43] <ricanelite> where can i get that?
[01:43] <seshomaru123> oskude, thanks i'll try
[01:44] <krang> ricanelite: do you want to do this the much, much easier way?   Now I must run mount as root and it is root that gets the perms on the share, correct?
[01:44] <ricanelite> oka
[01:44] <krang> ricanelite: of course that includes flash
[01:44] <ricanelite> anything that will be easy for me
[01:45] <oskude> seshomaru123: "lsof -i" got from here http://sial.org/howto/debug/unix/lsof/
[01:46] <oskude> seshomaru123: wait, that only shows connections, was that what you wanted ?
[01:46] <ricanelite> how do i install automtix?
[01:46] <oskude> !automatix
[01:46] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://www.getautomatix.com/ ; For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[01:47] <seshomaru123> oskude, i want to know which programme uses port 80
[01:47] <krang> ricanelite: in the terminal, type this:  sudo echo "deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt dapper main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:48] <ricanelite> with the quotes?
[01:48] <krang> ricanelite: yup
[01:48] <hayden> i just installed ubuntu on my ibook 1.2ghz 1.25gb ram 14" screen, and whenever i move a window around it gets like an onion effect, is there updated 2d drivers for it?
[01:49] <oskude> seshomaru123: hmm, without a connection... dunno atm, ill look...
[01:49] <krang> ricanelite: then this: wget http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/key.gpg.asc
[01:49] <porkpie> Guy's any idea when the new release is coming out ....I have a POwer edge 1950 which I can install ubuntu on
[01:50] <gandolfthewizard> hey anyone now why i can't get java plug-in installed

[01:52] <oskude> seshomaru123: but, "fuser -n tcp 80" doesnt show my apache here :/
[01:52] <krang> ricanelite: that you type everything after it as it appears

[01:54] <hayden> i just installed ubuntu on my ibook 1.2ghz 1.25gb ram 14" screen, and whenever i move a window around it gets like an onion effect, is there updated 2d drivers for it?
[01:54] <ricanelite> no im on the same machine
[01:54] <krang> ricanelite: erk, you're not supposed to paste that much in here
[01:54] <sethk> hayden, there are options about what happens to a window when it is moved
[01:54] <oskude> krang: ricanelite please goto #automatix for automatix stuff!
[01:54] <sethk> hayden, such as, display or don't display contents, etc.
[01:54] <sethk> hayden, some combination of those options should fix your problem
[01:55] <ricanelite> im sorry guys! i did'nt know
[01:55] <sethk> ricanelite, there is no rule that says you can't ask about automatix here
[01:55] <sethk> ricanelite, you might get more info over there, but you are certainly allowed to ask your questions here.
[01:56] <krang> oskude: neither did actually
[01:56] <hayden> sethk, so there aren't any newer 2d drivers?
[01:56] <sethk> hayden, I don't know of any, no, but the question is irrelevant, since you don't have a driver problem.
[01:57] <krang> here's the next line (paste everything after the hash mark): #gpg --import key.gpg.asc
[01:57] <whyso> can u resize a xfs partitian
[01:57] <oskude> seshomaru123: sorry, cant find a solution, but there is more than one, just keep asking...
[01:57] <sethk> whyso, sure, as long as you don't mind losing all the data on the partition
[01:57] <whyso> hehe
[01:58] <sethk> whyso, I don't know of a resizer that handles xfs.  Even if I did, I would _always_ back up before even thinking about resizing a partition
[01:58] <gandolfthewizard> sorry i am back now

[01:59] <gandolfthewizard> i am trying to get the java plug-in installed i have tried everything that has beeen  on your site and i still can't get it to install any ideas
[01:59] <oskude> seshomaru123: wait, try this "sudo netstat --all --programs | grep www" atleast that shows my apache2
[01:59] <seshomaru123> askude i will try
[01:59] <sunpac> hmm. what's the package name for the game 'puzzle bubble'?
[01:59] <oskude> sunbug: frozen-bubble (iirc)
[01:59] <sethk> best way to check for listening on port 80 is   netstat -nap | egrep '^tcp.*80'
[01:59] <sunpac> oskude, yes, that's right :)
[02:00] <Alzi2> For every site I visit with firefox, it asks if i should accept the certificate. Is this a new "feature" or something? how to disable it?
[02:00] <ricanelite> how do i sign in?
[02:00] <sethk> Alzi2, it only asks if the certificate cannot be validated.  There is an option to disable it.
[02:00] <krang> ricanelite: sign in to what?
[02:00] <ricanelite> to here
[02:00] <seshomaru123> oskude,  i got : tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:33196     static-fxfeeds.nslb:www ESTABLISHED5912/firefox-bin

[02:01] <krang> ricanelite: ah, that's an arse. You have to get your nick registered
[02:01] <oskude> seshomaru123: seems there is only apache2 listening on port 80
[02:01] <ricanelite> it is
[02:01] <gandolfthewizard> this is what i am getting when i try to get it through the terminal E: Couldn't find package jr2rel.4
[02:02] <oskude> ricanelite: after you registered the nick you allso have to identify your self to nickserv
[02:03] <krang> ricanelite: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[02:03] <usamahashimi> hi all
[02:03] <seshomaru123> oskude , thats strange , the reason i want to find out whats on port 80 is that apache2 refuses to start claiming another utility is already using port 80
[02:03] <krang> ricanelite: oh, you registered. then type /msg nickerv identify yourpassword
[02:03] <usamahashimi> i want to make network b/w two linux pcs, can anyone help me?
[02:03] <krang> ricanelite: obviously putting your actual password in there
[02:04] <oskude> seshomaru123: well, apache2 is allready running... (you control it with "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart) (or stop/start)
[02:05] <oskude> seshomaru123: wehn you apt-get install apache2, it will be started automaticly
[02:05] <gandolfthewizard> can someone help please
[02:05] <seshomaru123> oskude apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[02:05] <krang> ricanelite: if that's hassle, don't worry, there's like 2 lines left here
[02:06] <oskude> seshomaru123: you can ignore that error message...
[02:06] <seshomaru123> oskude, httpd (pid 5398?) not running

[02:06] <oskude> seshomaru123: do you get something if you go to http://localhost with browser ?

[02:12] <Windwalker78> what is #ubuntu+1
[02:12] <seshomaru123> oskude the problem is that that this was a running server for over 6 months , i didnt install it today
[02:12] <ricanelite> yes

[02:12] <oskude> seshomaru123: was it accessible over internet ?
[02:12] <seshomaru123> oskude, yes very
[02:13] <jad_jay> gnomefreak: thanks!
[02:13] <oskude> seshomaru123: then you should examine if it was compromised...
[02:13] <krang> ricanelite: when you sudo apt-get update, it might take a while to install all your updates, have you got a fairly speedy connection?
[02:13] <gnomefreak> jad_jay: yw

[02:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about keymap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:16] <mjr> :w
[02:16] <freakky> mjr: :w ?
[02:16] <freakky> mjr and where can i write that command?
[02:17] <seshomaru123> oskude , ok thanks anyway
[02:17] <frogzoo> anyone tried using monitors with pivot ? ie, can X be set to display a rotated image ?
[02:17] <mjr> freakky, in vi, in the default mode (forget what it was called...)
[02:17] <gandolfthewizard> hey guys i have tried everything for the last 4 days to get java installed for my fire fox web browser  and i can't seem to get it installed or find it i am new to linux and i have litterly tried everything so any help that you all could give me i would really appreciate it
[02:18] <freakky> mjr yea but i don't know where can i type that command
[02:18] <mjr> frogzoo, actually yes, but that is more... involved... than it should really be. If you're into tuning, look up xrandr. Support may depend on driver also.
[02:18] <frogzoo> mjr: would fglrx support it ?
[02:19] <mjr> freakky, in the vi terminal? If you're in insert mode, press esc first.
[02:19] <mjr> frogzoo, no idea
[02:19] <freakky> mjr ok let me check
[02:19] <freakky> mjr done
[02:19] <freakky> mjr after that ?
[02:19] <gyro54> can I reinstall Gnome-panel and if so how?
[02:20] <zybrid> http://home.zybrid.se/secret1/Screenshot-1.png <- whats wrong here? running dapper freshinstall + xgl + beryl +1440x900

[02:20] <frogzoo> mjr: thx, will checkout xrandr
[02:21] <gyro54> freakky use the colon
[02:21] <freakky> mjr ok, done after that ? :)
[02:21] <mjr> After that it should be saved. Provided you pressed enter.
[02:21] <freakky> mjr it says "start" 31L, 1442C written
[02:21] <ChickenTalons> gyro54, this is a family channel
[02:22] <zybrid> oh, i solved my problem,, i switched between metacity and berel and it fixed itself. thanks anyway :)
[02:22] <gyro54> sounds rude doesn't it
[02:22] <mjr> freakky, then :q quits, and never run vi again without a reference guide

[02:23] <Danny> Hi there! Searching w32codecs most recent version for edgy. is marrilat still 1st choise? couldnt find it there
[02:23] <M_A_K> Can someone help me with the mount command?
[02:23] <seshomaru123> oskude, you it appears that the problem was in the router that changed my static ip to a dynamic one and caused all sort of changes. thanks for your help anyway....
[02:24] <Danny> what's your problem MAK?
[02:24] <oskude> seshomaru123: hope youre loggin all activites on your server...
[02:24] <M_A_K> How do I mount a share using a specific username and password (nfs)?
[02:24] <M_A_K> Ubuntu requires root to use mount and I do not want to mount as root.
[02:25] <gyro54> my gnome-panel is broken and I'm very upset.
[02:25] <ed209> what up gyro54
[02:25] <ed209> whats up gyro54
[02:26] <Danny> so you want to login with specific credentials or you want to be able to "mount" as a user other than root?
[02:26] <gyro54> I can't access any of my drop down menus. When I scoll over them the icon is missing and the computer locks for a period then gives a message gnome-panel has quit unexpectedly. Any ideas??
[02:26] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[02:27] <oskude> gyro54: got a "pure" ubuntu dapper installation ?
[02:27] <seshomaru123> oskude , i am , but never checked the logs! this server hosts my sons pix for my parents oversees, it is important for my family ,but i keep all pix on DVDs so i am not that concerned about safety (+ plus i dont know much about it...)
[02:27] <ed209> gyro54: unknown from that description, but you could goto your home directory and delete ".gconf" - be warned though you will lose your theme settings and current layout < this will revert back to default layout
[02:27] <oskude> seshomaru123: are you using php ?
[02:27] <gyro54> yes clean install 6.06 fully up to date.
[02:27] <seshomaru123> oskude no
[02:27] <oskude> seshomaru123: then half of youre worries are gone ;)
[02:28] <gyro54> how do i ls hidden files?
[02:28] <oskude> gyro54: hmm, then that sounds bad :/ (maybe a bug)
[02:28] <POVaddct> gyro54: ls -a
[02:28] <ed209> ls -lhas < does a good job
[02:28] <disasm> heya all, I heard debian is no longer going to have firefox per say, but a fork called ice weasel... Please tell me ubuntu isn't following suit in this ridiculous escapade...
[02:28] <seshomaru123> oskude, i use NVU!
[02:29] <oskude> seshomaru123: ok, so you deliver only static html pages... then you might be pretty safe with standard apache2 install...
[02:29] <M_A_K> Danny : need to mount with specific credientials so "I" am owner of folder being mounted.
[02:29] <Danny> anyone know a good loc for w32codecs? where to get the most recent ones?
[02:29] <ChickenTalons> disasm, isnt ice weasel just a beta of firefox? relax!
[02:29] <Xinos2> Hi
[02:29] <der0b> is there anything wrong with changing the perms on your home dir to 700?  Also, is there a way to make that the default?
[02:29] <seshomaru123> oskude, gota go , thanx for help
[02:30] <gyro54> tried to rename and got this ...  syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."
[02:30] <Ryan_rj> Good night everyone
[02:30] <Ryan_rj> I am just at Ubuntu's website right now.
[02:30] <Xinos2> Can someone help me mount my harddrives? I'm on Ubunthu live and it says "Couln't display '/dev/hdb/'" or any other drive that is listed in dev
[02:31] <bimberi> der0b: no, nothing wrong with that.  Not sure where it's set for new account creation though
[02:31] <der0b> thanks bimberi :)
[02:31] <ed209> gyro54:  are you currently in your X-Server? if so just open nautilus with sudo and navigate to your home dir then show hidden files and rename the file or "cp" it somewhere then delete it and restart your x-server
[02:31] <Ryan_rj> I'd like to ask you, how good is it with notebooks and should I download the "ubuntu-6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso" or the "ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso" ???
[02:31] <bimberi> der0b: np :)
[02:31] <disasm> ChickenTalons: sadly... no... mozilla foundation wants debian to use their logo if they use their name, and debian says their logo does not adhere to the debian policy... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel - from a technical standpoint, it is firefox, but from a person that has never used linux before standpoint it's confusion...
[02:32] <Xinos2> My windows decided to patch itself which conflicted with my TV card drivers and now windows is unbootable. "winsrv" failed and now NO computer can boot any os (not even ubunthu live) when that disk is plugged in.
[02:32] <gyro54> I can't Nautilus crashes every time I open it. It is all related to the menu system. I am running Opera from the terminal
[02:33] <bimberi> Ryan_rj: try the desktop iso, as long as you have 256Mb RAM or more, otherwise the alternate.  I'm on a notebook right now :)
[02:33] <ed209> ok, then can you sudo cp /home/gyro54/.gconf /home/somewhereelse/.gconf.backup
[02:33] <oskude> Ryan_rj: the good thing about desktop cd is, that it starts a "working" ubuntu before install, so you see rightaway if all hardware is working out-of-the-box (and you need atleast 192mb ram)... alternate uses the good old text mode installer and doesnt need so much ram... but the result on both (After install) is the same
[02:33] <Ryan_rj> Bimberi, thank you very much I shall begin download now! I am fed up with SUSE linux, I heard good things about both so I will give it a go.
[02:34] <ChickenTalons> rofl, ice weasel will be better thaN firefox, nothing to worry about
[02:34] <ChickenTalons> if anything, mozilla screwed themselves
[02:34] <Ryan_rj> She'll be alright, I have 512 ram !
[02:34] <Ryan_rj> Thanks guys. I will re-join once (should if !) everything works!
[02:34] <Ryan_rj> Cheers.

[02:57] <sethk> bayzider, that is the correct command to reconfigure X.     Possibly you didn't make the correct choices?

[02:57] <wickedpuppy> jkku3, italy

[03:01] <charlie5> i have set d/l limit to 0, meaning no limit i think
[03:01] <bayzider> aeroSoul: i just ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it is the install screen as yesterday
[03:01] <aeroSoul> bayzider: then press enter everywhere except when u have to select the gfx card
[03:01] <sethk> bayzider, I don't really see where aeroSoul is going with this.  If whatever he is doing doesn't work out, let me know and we'll try something.
[03:02] <bayzider> aeroSoul: ok
[03:02] <aeroSoul> sethk: as he pressed enter everywhere i suppose that he has the wrong gfx driver... if his x doesnt start up
